Blazing Arrows
Welcome back to Blazing Arrows. This time we find out -
what the world's biggest audience is.
Riikka, what do you like most about Blazing Arrows?
It's fun to worship God to be with friends,
to dance and pray, of course.
Meri, how do you worship God?
I sing, draw, dance. Come and join us.
There's none greater than You my Father.
There's none more awesome who loves me.
There is none more gracious than You my Father.
No none who could know me better.
You alone are - my safe place, my shelter.
You alone are - my food and my drink.
You alone are - my courage, my strength.
I place my life now in Your hands.

Hello Fanni. How old are you? - I'm 17.
How old were you when you started dancing?
My Mother says that I danced before I could walk.
So for a very long time.
You've choreographed the dances for many of our songs.
Where do your ideas for the choreography come from?
Well, I listen to a nice song, paying attention to the words -
to see if they make any sense and if I can choreograph to them.
Then I make up the moves if it sounds good.
I've heard you've also been in another King's Kids group.
Yes, I've been in a group in Hamina called 'Joyful noise'.
I've also been in King's Kids in Israel.
Ok, lovely. How do you feel when you are dancing to God?
It's like I'm dancing for the largest audience in the world.
Yes, that's true. What are we dancing today?
We're dancing: 'We Worship You' - Ok.
Blazing Arrows
Ok, this dance starts with some music where we can just dance
freely, maybe spin around or do anything you feel like.
A bit of 'jamming' like this.
Then it starts with: 'Bam'
Our God is a great God,
Let's do that again, so it's:
Right, left, backwards, forwards.
So it's: 'bam'
Our God is a great God,
Then turn to the right.
He always reigns.
So here it's with the left leg forwards, backwards and jump.
Let's do it from the start.
Our God is a great God, He always reigns.
Lord for evermore.
And spin around.
Ok, your left foot stays still and the right foot moves.
Lord for evermore.
And then spin to the right.
Ok, let's do it from the start without music.
Our God is a great God, He always reigns.
Lord for evermore.
And around.
Great. Let's do it to here with music.
"Our God is great"
Our God is a great God, He always reigns.
Lord for evermore.
Fine, then we have the next part.
Where we do this kind of move and at the same time bend down.
The word from His mouth beats..
Then we do this: head to the left, right and down.
...the powers of darkness.
Then stand up.
Freedom that breaks chains.
We do this movement with our hands and at the same time
the left foot steps infront of the right foot and spin around.
Freedom that breaks chains. Then lower your arms.
Let's do this part again.
The word from His mouth beats the powers of darkness.
Freedom that breaks chains.
Let's do this part with music.
The word from His mouth beats the powers of darkness.
Freedom that breaks chains.
Then comes the chorus which goes like this:
Your leg kicks forwards then to the side, like this.
And at the same time your arms go in the opposite direction.
So your leg goes to the left and your arms go to the right.
Then they change sides. Like this.
So it's: We worship...
Then spin around - ..You,
Your palms facing upwards.
We worship You,..
Then turn to the side - 'Holy God'.
Then we bow down -
All our praise and thanksgiving You deserve.
Let's do it from the start once more.
We worship You, Holy God.
So your hand raises up from down here.
..Holy God
All our praise and thanksgiving You deserve.
Then with your left hand -
Honour to You...
Let's do it again:
Your left hand scoops up
and your right hand is like you're offering something.
Honour to You...
Then arms stay where they are and your right hand goes up.
...in the highest.
Ok. Let's do it again.
Honour to You,...
Bam, bam and your finger points upwards. Ok, and again.
Honour to You,...
Bam, bam, bam. If it feels hard, it'll come with practice.
Ok, and then still -
All our praise and thanksgiving You deserve.
Let's do the chorus once more.
We worship You, Holy God.
All our praise and thanksgiving You deserve.
Honour to You, in the highest.
All our praise and thanksgiving You deserve.
Now let's do the chorus with music
We worship You, Holy God.
All our praise and thanksgiving You deserve.
Honour to You, in the highest.
All our praise and thanksgiving You deserve.
And then again some free 'jamming'.
Well done.

Riikka, how does God speak to you?
Straight to my heart, He also reminds me of things -
like praying for others.
Today we're praying in 2 groups Come with me to this one.
The Bible promises that in the end days God will restore
the Tabernacle of David. Do you know what that is?
Markus?
It's a bit like God's temple.
That's true. It's like God's temple.
Do you know what happens there? Riikka.
We can worship and pray to God there.
Praise Him for all He's done.
That's true. Do you know the amazing thing -
that's been happening around the world over the last 20 years?
Groups have begun to worship and pray to God day and night.
There are hundreds around the world.
Do you remember that on our Camp we had a whole day
of having one special room for being alone with God .
We prayed and worshiped there. Everyone spent 30 minutes there
of their own time, some were there longer.
What was it like to be in that special place just for God?
Janika, could you start?
I think it was really peaceful, and wonderful to be
alone with God. I felt great but it was the personal aspect
of being alone with God that was so peaceful and wonderful.
Thank you. How about Riikka?
We could do anything there, like dance for God put cd's on
and we could pray and draw our families. Pray for others,
or just rest in God's arms.
Yes, Markus.
It was very restful there and lovely. As soon as I arrived
I could feel the Holy Spirit and felt very peaceful.
Yes. How about you Aurora?
I think it was wonderfully peaceful there and we could
speak with Jesus. I asked Him what He wanted to do in my life
It was really nice to be there.
It was very peaceful and quiet and I was able to talk alone
with God - just the two of us.
When I was on the bed in the prayer room,
it was like being in God's lap, it felt like I was in Heaven -
in God's arms. I could also worship God there and
do whatever I felt like.
In David's Tabernacle he was able to be in God's presence
all the time and he had a friend called Asaph.
Asaph wrote a song, nowadays called a Psalm where he says -
"My joy is to be in my Lord's presence." (Psalm 73:28)
It's quite exciting that sort of song was written by someone that
was living constanly in God's presence. It's like when we're
in God's presence, that awesome well-being is endless.
Let's pray that this connects with us and that those at home
can also, on a daily basis, draw close to God and have that
awesome well-being, just like in the prayer room.
Also pray we could have those kinds of places, in Finland,
where we could go to just be in God's presence day and night.
Let's pray for what God has to say to you about these things.
Jesus I ask for those who don't yet know You so well,
that You'll give them more insight into who You are.
Please draw close to everyone who comes to You.
Help all those who don't know Jesus to hear about Him
and start to praise God and do all the things we've been doing.
That they do these dances as children of God and start to
worship and sing to God with us.
Jesus help everyone who sees these programs to have
a revelation of You and believe. Amen
Lord, help people to realize they can have that kind of place
specially in our home country. So we could have places
where we can worship, pray, dance and be with Jesus.
Help people to have ideas like:
"Hey, we could do it like this" we could maybe ask people if
we could be over night here, having fun with Jesus.
Help it to happen Lord.
Thank you Jesus that it says in Your Word,that You see everyone
in the whole world. I ask that all can experience Your presence.
Help them to experience a spiritual thirst for You.
Thank you that You don't force anyone towards You in any way,
You've given us the freedom to choose.
Help us to make the right decision.
Thank you.
Blazing Arrows
What are we doing now?
Praying the Lord's blessing with you for the week ahead.
The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make His face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn His face towards you and give you peace.
In the name of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Amen. (Numbers 6. 24-26)
Wonderful that you were able to join us.
What are we doing next time?
We're on our Camp. But come and watch the dance we did today.
