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.

  Who do you desire to be when you grow up? Read – I John 3:1-10 Scripture : “Beloved, now we are the offspring of God, and what  we will be has not yet been revealed. But we know that when  Christ appears, we will be mirror images (I John 3:1).” Denial : “My life is not about wants, but desires.” Affirmation : “I AM becoming more of the beloved offspring of  God that I already AM.” T.J. Holmes, an award-winning journalist and ABC news anchor and  correspondent, was the keynote speaker at my daughter,  Courtney’s, graduation from Walden University on Saturday, August 3, 2019, at the National Harbor in Prince George’s County, Maryland.  It was one of the largest graduations that I had ever attended. There  were graduates there from all over the earth. I cried from the time  the commencement address began until it ended. It was more than  me being proud of my daughter’s accomplishment of getting a  master’s degree in business administration. It was deeper than the  gathering of family an

Spoken I AMs Read – John 6:53-70 Scripture: “ It is the Spirit that gives life, not the flesh. The words that I speak, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).” Denial: “There is no limit to who I can be.” Affirmation: “Everything that Jesus Christ said about himself, I can say about myself.” Jesus, our Wayshower, understood the power of his words.  Therefore, he made a conscious decision to speak life. When Jesus  said the words, I AM, he meant what he said. He was declaring his  divine nature and the truth of his being. When we see Jesus as our  Wayshower, it brings our attention to the truth that everything that  Jesus said about himself, we can say about ourselves. Every I AM  statement that Jesus made in the scriptures we can declare about  ourselves. There are seven recorded instances where Jesus actually begins a  statement with the words, I AM. I AM the Bread of Life (John 6:35).  I AM the Light of the World (John 9:5). I AM the Good Shepherd  (John 10:11-14). I AM the

 Glorification The Kingdom Key of Life & Death READ | John 12:20-33 “Jesus answered them by saying, the hour has come, that the Son of God must be glorified (John 12:23).” Jesus reinforced the Kingdom Key of Life and Death through the illustration of the ear of corn. Unless the corn goes into the ground and dies, it cannot multiply. When the corn lives above the earth, then it is just one kernel, a seed. Nevertheless, when it is put into the ground and dies, it reproduces itself and becomes a full harvest. It is only through death that we rise to a new form of life. Jesus used the symbol of the corn to speak about the ending of one form of his life, his earthly existence, and the beginning of another dimension of life, his glorification. Jesus called it glorification because he was returning to the glorious life that he had in the beginning with the Father. God receives the glory out of the events of our lives when we receive the blessing and learn the lessons from all our experien
