Kadosh Adonai is:
Kadosh Adonai is Hebrew meaning "Holy unto the Lord." I Peter 2: says, "Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ." I Peter 2:9 says "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, peculiar people, that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light." To be Holy simply means to be set apart, dedicated or devoted to the service of God. This should be the desire of every Christian; to be Holy unto the Lord. In Romans 12:1, we are told to present our bodies Holy unto God. We do this by ever staying in His presence. The quickest, easiest way to do that is to praise Him with all our might.
This ministry uses dance, banners, other forms of pageantry and teaching to reach people with the good news of Yeshua (Jesus). We teach and exhibit not only Israeli folk dances, but also remind the church of her Jewish roots. Learning about Jewish customs, helps us understand Yeshua's lifestyle. All of this has developed a deeper understanding of why we are to praise Him. He created us to praise Him. The scriptures tell us that He inhabits our praises, that means His presence comes. That in His presence there is fullness of joy; and that the joy of the Lord is our strength. So if you want the Lord's strength, all you have to do is praise Him with all that is within you! God, in all His wisdom, planned it this way, not because He needed our praises, although He enjoys it. But because we need it. We receive all the benefits when we praise Him. If we, the people, can get hold of this simple truth, we will eagerly find every possible way to praise the Lord.
We strive to be proficient in the dance with simplicity and humility. Our garments are not costumes, they are garments of praise symbolic and meaningful in design, colors and fabrics. The weapons of our warfare are praise, prayer and worship.
It is our desire through our offerings of praise and worship to create a Psalm 22:3 habitation in which our God can dwell and move among His people, bringing salvation and revelation as they draw closer and closer to Him.
Psalm 148, 149 and 150 exhort us to praise our God and tell us a great deal about how our God wants to be praised. These words tell us who is to praise Him (Psalm 148), where and how to praise Him (Psalm 149) and why (Psalm 150). Psalm 150 expands on the how-to's and finishes with a most explicit exhortation, even a command: "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. You Praise the Lord!" "They have seen Thy goings, O God, even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary." "Your procession has come into view, O God, the procession of my God and King into the sanctuary." (Psalm 68:24 KJV, NIV) In Psalms 149:1 and 150:1, we are instructed to praise Him in the congregation of the saints and in His sanctuary. In Psalm 68:25, we see the Lord's pattern for worship, with the singers, musicians and tambourine players leading the way. In Psalm 68:26, it continues and says, "Bless ye the Lord in the congregation, even the Lord from the fountain of Israel." The procession followed, joining the flow of worship. The people are to follow so God can enjoy the praises and the presence of His people. Psalm 149:4 tells us that He takes pleasure in His people.
Kadosh Adonai's reason for being is to honor and glorify our God, to usher others into His presence and to beautify His house, making it "exceedingly famous throughout all lands." Our vision is to use every means possible: dance (folk, interpretive and ballet), banners, flags, tambourines, timbrels and other other praise instruments; ministering with them in pageantry and integrating them with the local expression of the Body of Christ. We see a specific pattern for worship in Psalms and in Rev. 4:6, we believe that our God has specific intentions for the praises of His people:
King David was described as a man after God's own heart. He was the ultimate praiser and worshipper. Warrior, shepherd, and loyal friend; he was throughly human in all his ways and becomes a model for us as believers. David's heart was not just toward God, but was yielded to God. David was quick to respond to the guiding winds of God's Holy Spirit. His heart cry was to be where God was moving, even if he had to forsake the throne so that he could become a doorman for the house of the Lord. David was consumed with his God and the relationship that they had together. Ultimately, nothing else mattered.
Kadosh Adonai's desire is to burn with David's zeal, to be that doorman at the house of the Lord, ushering people into the very presence of the Lord. We yearn to be in His presence, to stand in awe as He moves among His people. We want to proclaim with King David that the Ark of the Lord's presence is constantly accessible to His people.
