Redeem the Dance

The Next PAJ, Prophetic Artists Journey – please pray into this with me…

Sofia Muriel was 21 when Hamas murdered her at the Nova party—her only “crime” was wanting to dance. 505 days later, her father, consumed by unbearable grief, ended his own life. 💔

After reading this, I heard יהוה say “Redeem the Dance.” And I knew that going to Zarit, the 12th Gate Assignment, would somehow be a seed planted for this vision to be fulfilled, even in a time of tragedy.

Shortly after this word was given, I read that secular Israelis and even former hostages are using dance as therapy for healing from trauma. Also an Orthodox Jew from Tzfat is hosting a healing seminar called “We Will Dance Again!”

A Symphony of Dancers

I heard, “I am bringing together a symphony of dancers; each one will represent an orchestral instrument, reflecting the sound of the dance.”
