Tra-Veil

To travail is to bring forth something that takes much effort or labor. This often results in strenuous physical or mental effort which can be overwhelming if we operate in the flesh. There are dances that take both physical and mental stamina to bring the Word forth. We must prepare to take people into the manifest presence of God.

There is nothing that hinders our access to Him. The veil is no more. We can move forward in confidence, knowing that Jesus paid the price for us to be in relationship with God. Our dance ministries should reflect this freedom and lead others into His presence. It is there we will experience fullness of joy.

Dance before the Lord with no limits. Walk boldly in His Word and witness new life take place in others. Leap for joy! Let us treasure the friendship that we have with our Awesome God. If there is anything that is standing between us and Him, remove it! If there is anything in our lives that hinders us from drawing near to Him, overthrow it! If there remains any veils over our eyes, ears, and hearts, know that it was already destroyed by the power of Jesus Christ's death on the cross when we are His. Travel beyond the limitations of the former veil and press into your passion for His presence. Access granted!

2 Corinthians 3:16 (NKJV)
"Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away."

Hebrews 6:19-20 (NKJV)
"This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek."

Hebrews 10:19-22 (NKJV)
"Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water."
