There are some problems.......

to fall forward in awesome of God's Holy presence. I know because I experience it when I was a teenager. I couldn't lift up my head or body. It was like in Genesis 32:22-32, when Jacob wrestled with God and with that tug and pull whereby Jacob refuse to let go of God who came as a man untill God blesssed him and both of them wrestled to day break. At the end of it, Jacob was spared for seeing God face to face yet he ended up with a limp in his hip. But he received his blessing in the end. And just like it was for Jacob I was trying my best to get out of bed or at least to turn over facing upwards in my bed yet I wasn't allowed. And at the end of it, I had a vision plus a pain in my shoulder because I used my shoulder's strength to try to get up. But in morning prayer, when I asked if that was God who was with me and if yes to remove my pain and he did. I know if I turned over surely I would have lost my life becuase our Holy God is too Holy that no one can stand in his presence.
NOw I know that all along in the church falling backwards is definately not right. If that was God's work no man can stand his presence to have his face turned upwards looking at God. No way. Cause I myself have experience it with no man laying hands over me. But I was in a prayerful mood that night and the main theme of my prayer was "God forgive me of all my sins that I did in the past every since I was young untill now and wash me with the blood of Jesus Christ and cover me with the blood of Jesus Christ" and praises and thanksgiving to Jesus Christ. That was my main theme that night when I was slained in the spirit while I was laying down in my bed about to fall asleep.
