Kneeling In Prayer

 “A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).”

In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy…”

Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and remembering, kneeling is a powerless religious ritual.

Kneeling is not just a physical activity, but a soulful action that strengthens your resolve of the Truth. “For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God (Romans 14:11).” When you bend your knees in prayer, sickness, pain, and disease must kneel in subjection to wholeness, healing, and health. When you bend your knees in prayer any toxic relationships or ways of relating must kneel in subjection to love, joy, peace and harmony in all your relationships. When you bend your knees in prayer, lack, limitation, sacristy or poverty and must kneel in subjection to increase, abundance, overflow, and more than enough.

Balancing Being & Birth Jesus, the King of the Kingdom

Balancing Being & Birth Jesus, the King of the Kingdom R EAD | Matthew 1:16-25 Whether your parents were married, separated, or divorced, your conception was perfect for your purpose. Maybe your parents were unmarried teenagers or adults who had not planned on having any more children; your conception was still divine. Even if you were the product of rape, incest, abuse or adultery, the Kingdom Principle of Divine Order remains in effect. As challenging as it may be, the Kingdom Principle of Divine Order reminds you of the truth that everything that has happened in your life happened exactly the way that it is supposed to happen. Your conception is no exception. Jesus, your Wayshower, was not born under ideal circumstances. His conception was Immaculate yet very few people believed it. Many people believed that Joseph and Mary did not wait until their honeymoon to consummate their marriage. Others thought that Mary was unfaithful to...

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...
