The Bare Foot - Sacred DancerOften times many inquire to why “The Remnant Sacred Dance Ministry" moves without shoes or as some would say “slippers” to protect our feet.
First we believe by faith that our feet are shod with peace and we have been conditioned to move within those guidelines. We who are called to minister in the sanctuary, ministry buildings, synagogue, evangelist outreaches (Parks, homes, hospitals, etc) or churches(temples) should be prepared spiritually and naturally to go “Forth” in the power of the Holy Spirit-Ruach Hako'desh with authority regardless.
We embrace a true teaching perspective that demonstrates 90% Study and 10% Movement as a sacred standard. We anoint our feet and hands symbolically and continue to exercise our faith on every assignment.This by no means places a judgment on those who choose to wear dance shoes, slippers, foot thongs, etc. We have elected to move with this conviction in our hearts. We have chosen to demonstrate this act symbolically and the biblical reference can be defined below. Highlight Study:
The High Priest, like all priests, would minister barefoot when he was serving in the Temple. Like all of the priests, he had to immerse himself in the mikvah before vesting and wash his hands and his feet before performing any sacred act. The Talmud teaches that neither the kohenim nor the Kohen Gadol were fit to minister unless they wore their priestly vestments:
"While they are clothed in the priestly garments, they are clothed in the priesthood; but when they are not wearing the garments, the priesthood is not upon them". It is further taught that just as the korbanot (sacrifices) facilitate an atonement for sin, so do the priestly garments. No dead thing on the priest’s feet in our case "Our Feet". Shalom!
Study Exodus 27-28 29!
