Posture For Worship

In Revelation 5, worship began following the revelation of Jesus Christ as the triumphant Lamb who was worthy of opening the scroll. Prior to singing a brand-new song, 24 elders prostrated themselves before the lamb as the first act of worship/adoration. One of the postures of worship is to fall to the ground. The song will start after this posture.

Heaven’s posture for worship is always to fall down in response to the revelation of Jesus Christ. Four living creatures and 24 elders fell down.

Falling down means bowing/submitting our will and accepting the revealed revelation of Jesus Christ. All existing understanding / revelation should align with this revelation.

In our daily bible reading, when we receive a revelation about Jesus, do our thoughts and our will bow and accept this revelation about Jesus?

Only when our will bows down, then a heavenly worship starts.

In Revelation 5:8, a new song was sung after the elders had prostrated themselves. After our will falls down, breaks and accepts the revelation of Jesus Christ, then came a new song.

Wales revival had a similar experience. It was a singing revival. In their songs, God had come to Wales.

The revival has started when Evan Roberts responded to the altar call and prayed the prayer – Lord Bend Us(Lord Bend my will, my thoughts). Lord bend my will to accept the fresh revelation of Jesus.

There will be a new song when our will is bent, broken and accept the fresh revelation of Jesus. Only the Holy Spirit has the power to break our will, bring us to our knees, and make us vessels fit for worshipping Jesus.

Evan Roberts prayed, “Lord, bend Us,” while in a harrowing state of tears. Evan Roberts’ prayer was heard by God, and the Holy Spirit bent his will and there was a complete takeover of his life by the Holy Spirit.

Once our will is bent by the Holy Spirit, then the next thing is sudden outburst of song and expansion of God’s work i.e Revival.

Wales revival was a Holy Spirit Revival. People were completely possessed by the Holy Spirit. The meetings have the Holy Spirit agenda and timeline. Holy Spirit inspired people to share testimonies, pray, and preach.

Bowing our will down is a continuous experience until there is no will of our own. It is accepting about Jesus, in a way mentioned in the Bible.

We have lot of revelation of Jesus in the scripture, but very few people are bowing down to this revelation.

When the lamb of God was seen in Revelation 5, there was a revival in heaven. Jesus was the one who finally opened the scroll. Jesus starts taking authority as Son of God and fulfilled the Father’s plans. In Revival, Jesus is seen physically fulfilling Father’s plans.

Ask Holy Spirit to help you in bending your will down to accept the revelation of Jesus from the scripture.
