THANKS for your kind msg.

I’m quite seriously interested . . . feel free to reply by FREEPMAIL, if you prefer:

I’m curious . . .

Approximately how many minutes a week do you spend

literally flat on your face, prostrate on the floor, face to the floor praying to YHWH—in public and in private, combined?

BTW, I’m familiar with the meaning of “Holy.”

Of course I have no desire to bring God down to man’s level.

It’s impossible to do, anyway—beyond what Christ already did on that score.

I still think your perspective gives short-shrift to the major portion of Scriptures about the nature of the relationship GOD ALMIGHTY DESIRES, INTENDS AND WILL HAVE with each individual covered in the Blood of Jesus.

I try to spend time everyday in prayer and usually do. I haven’t tried to put a number on it but it’s not enough. While I have been flat on my face at times, God is not looking for a prostrate pose—He wants a prostrate heart. It’s an interesting word study to see how many times “proud” and “pride” is condemned, in both the OT and NT, and how often a humble heart is exhalted by Him. See, for example., Ps. 51: 16-17. (you really should listen to the good sermon I linked— I think you’ll enjoy it.)
