Touching Heaven - Changing Earth Dance and Tambourine Ministry

We use the tambourine with dancing to express the joy of the Lord because...

     In the Bible we read, "Again I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt, O virgin of Israel!  You shall again be adorned with your tambourines, And shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice."      Jeremiah 31:4

The tambourine is a weapon used by God in the destruction of the enemy because...
       In the Bible we read, "And every blow of the rod of punishment, which the LORD will lay on him, will be with the music of tambourines and lyres; and in battles, brandishing weapons, He will fight them."    Isaiah 30:32 NASB

 We use the tambourine to celebrate victory over the enemy because...
     In the Bible we read, "Now it happened as they were coming home, when David was returning from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women had come out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with musical instruments."        I Samuel 18:6

 "Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets."         I Chronicles 13:8

 "Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances."       Exodus 15:20
