A touch from God
AN EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK “DANCE REVELATIONS OF A DANCE MINISTER“ BY DR. SHERRY TRAYLOR
M
y first Encounter! In 1970, I was in my parent’s bedroom on a Sunday evening listening to a Gospel radio show with my mom and sisters. The song we heard was really ministering to me. I began to ask my mom what the song meant and as she explained, the song was saying something about the Holy Ghost! We all began to sing along with the song. I remember closing my eyes. The words began to come alive, and I began to lift my hands. All of a sudden, I felt a strong presence come over me at the tender age of 12. Tears began to stream down as I felt His powerful touch charge all through my body! I was so engulfed in Him and began to worship God with my mouth as I let a shout of Praise! I began to leap and dance all over my parent’s bedroom. I was lost in His Presence. I can see how David danced on the day he brought the Ark of Covenant into the city. In 2 Samuel 6:14, it says he danced with all of his might! God’s presence overtook him. My sisters were saying what is wrong with Sherry? As, I came to myself, my mom started shaking me asking me what was wrong. I remember telling her, that I did not know, all I knew was I felt a joy come
over me and felt bubbly and began to dance and shout. That was the beginning of Holy visitations. That was my very first Encounter with Him! Yes, at the age of 12 I had a Holy Visitation! Like they say, age is nothing but a number. Even Jesus, at 12 years old, was about His Father’s business. He was missing for 3 days, and his parents found him in the Temple. It says in (Luke 2:49 KJV) and he said unto them,’ how is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must be about my father’s business? And in verse 52 it says; And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. Do not let age hold you back when God is speaking to you. He has something He wants to say to you; instructions to give out, this is how to use your Gifts! As you build your relationship with Him, you will start having face to face encounters just like Moses. He will come to all of us in different ways and at different stages in our lives. He knows our name and knows when and where He wants to let us know He is a real true and living God.
That was my first Touch of encountering His presence.
