This video clip is of Deelishis (Flavor Of Love reality star, real name London Charles) twerking for Jesus. This clip is one of hundreds, if not thousands that circulate YouTube. Is praise dancing an approved way for women to twerk to gospel music? First off, there is no such thing as the Jesus Twerk, twerking for Jesus, whatever you want to call it. This is an example of how the enemy tries to counterfeit God's doing. A counterfeit looks identical to the original, except for one difference: The Jesus Twerk is usually performed by women in suggestive clothing. These women are shaking their behinds, but calling it Twerking for Jesus. I can see praise dancing because praise dance is about expression.
Of all the churches I've been to, the lady praise dancers had better sense than to twerk for the congregation. My church would boot them out with the quickness. It's shameful that Jesus is attached to foolishness. It's almost as bad as Gospel From The Pole (brief history: A stripper turned preacher is now preaching the gospel). When I think of twerking, Jesus is the LAST thing that comes to mind. I'm thinking of a scantily clad woman with boyshorts or a thong; woman starts clapping her cheeks together. Where's Jesus in all this "twerking"? Jesus would never co-sign this nonsense. The world has no respect for Christianity, so I wouldn't expect anything more.
There's not much difference between praise dancing and twerking. A praise dancer isn't going to ballerina dance to a Kirk Franklin song, they're going to let loose. Some gospel songs are designed for hooting & hollering, and I understand that. Twerking in God's house is disrespectful. When the moneychangers were conducting business in God's temple, Jesus got upset and overturned all the tables. In short, the twerk does not match Jesus work.
