THE PERFECT PROTOCOL OF PRAYER !

In the Name of Jesus every knee should bow Phil 2:10
How important it is to kneel down and pray in the presence of God?
Does Bible have any divine protocol of prayer?

“Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker” (Psalm 95:6).

 "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24).


The Bible says God worshippers must worship in Spirit and in truth ( of God's word in the Bible).




Has the devil hijacked the glory of God from the computer-age church while the believers not allowing themselves to kneel down in prayer and worship in the presence of God?

When people came to the King they came before him kneeling down and humbled themselves before King but the kings showed a great revelation  and importance to people of kneeling down and pray with humbleness  before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
For every knee shall bow before Jesus

“A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."( Matt 8:2).

A blind man knelt down and prayed and healed by Jesus- Matt 17:14

“Then the mother of Zebedee's sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him” ( Matt 20:20).

“When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him.” ( Matt 17:14).

When we kneel down in the presence of God!!!!!!!!

We put God high above everything.

We show our humility.

We show that we surrender to God.

We show that God is in charge of everything and his will be done, not my will.

We show our desperation.

O come let us worship and bow down; let us kneel Psalm 95:6
To me it is very important to kneel and pray I guess because that is the way I was brought up by the teachings of the Bible.There are some situations where you cannot kneel down and pray in that time you can find alternatives but when there is opportunity and time to pray kneeling down we need to utilize the chances of praying kneeling down.

"And when they ask you, 'Why are you groaning?' you shall say, 'Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt and every hand go limp; every spirit will become faint and every knee become as weak as water.' It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign LORD" (Ezekiel 21:7).

"She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness" ( Nahum 2:10).
