When You Kneel Down To Pray To God, Here Is What It Means

When You Kneel Down To Pray To God, Here Is What It Means.

 Posture can be defined as the way a person holds and positions his/her body. There are different body postures we do maintain, and these positions signify one thing and the other. Your body posture when you pray will be different than the one you maintain when you sleep. When we also pray, there are some postures we maintain which include kneeling before the lord, lying before the lord, bowing before the rock of ages, standing before the lord, looking up to the lord and stretching our hands in his presence. Sometimes we also leap in his presence, and sometimes we stand still. 

 The efficiency of our requests to God can also be determined by the posture we make before him. When you pray to God for wealth, have you ever wondered why you are still not rich? Have you ever wondered why he is yet to intervene? It is because of the posture you make when praying. You can’t need God’s attention immediately, and still stand still before him, kneel before his presence and pray.

 This article will be really helpful, as you will know the impact of the posture when sending requests to God:

1:When You Kneel Before The Lord, Here Is What It Signifies. 

 Kneel means to stoop down and rest on the knee, or the rest of the knees. When you kneel down before the lord, it means you want to reconcile with him, repent your sins and ask for forgiveness.

Kneeling to God signifies humbleness and respectfulness at the same time. One thing you will notice in some Bible chapters is that many prophets, kings and mere men do kneel down before the lord , when they move away from his path and switched from his lane. 

 Kneeling also signifies acknowledgement. Please read the book of Philippians 2:9-11 for proper clarification. Kneeling can also be a form of appeal. For instance, when your first wife bows before you, and the second kneels to greet you. Who will you give attention to the most, obviously the latter. This is also applicable when we send our request to God. 

 Biblical example of man who knelt to God during before God when praying(See Exodus 9:27-29.

2:When You Lie Before The Lord, Here Is What It Signifies. 

This symbolizes humility, there is nothing as humble as lying before the lord. This signifies that you are meek and humble. You should be on your face every morning so as to humble yourself before God. When you humbly pray to God, he answers your prayer quickly. 

 For more information, read(Genesis 17:1, Luke 5:12, Numbers 20:2-6.

3:When You Bow Before The Lord, Here Is What It Signifies. 

 When you take a bow before the lord, it signifies you are respectful and also obey him. There are many benefits attached to bowing, some of which include honour, gratitude and others. This is the most practicable posture. When we worship God, we also bow before him. When you bow before the lord, you should be mindful of your prayers.

 Biblical verse(Genesis 24:52). 

4:When You Sit Before The Lord, Here Is What It Signifies. 

 There is nothing that signifies authority apart from sitting before the lord. When you sit before the lord, it shows you are connected to him, and he is also connected to you. This also signifies our heavenly benefits, where we will all sit with God in heaven.

 Biblical verses(Ephesians 1:15-23,Matthew 6:14-15). 

5:When You Stand Before The Lord, Here Is What It Signifies.

 Imagine yourself in the position of standing before a king. It shows you are entitled to, and enjoy some special benefits. When we do the same thing to God, it shows we are entitled to certain benefits as a christian. One of the benefits is that it represents our posture in Christ. It also signifies our preparedness in turbulent times(e.g war). When you decide to pray against witches and wizards, it’s advisable for you to be on your feet. 

 Biblical verses(Romans 5-1:2).
