Even if others would not believe in some prophetic meaning of dances through tambourine, I don’t worry about it at all because what I do know and believe is that Tambourine has been used long time ago to express victory and joy and also used for festivities. There are a lot of Bible verses that correlates to Tambourine as an instrument of praise. We should give our body as a sacrifice of praise also and that is one of the reasons why I dance.
We dance the Tambourine because we only wanted to Honor God and Give Him the Highest of Praise. It is only Him that sees our hearts and can read our minds. I don’t mind what other people would think about Tambourine Dancing, but as long as my heart is right and in tune with God, that is important.
Here are the Following Bible Verses that I can share to you with regards to Tambourine and Tambourine Dance:
