The Right Way

When you sit down in the presence of God, do the following:

1. Sit up. Sit erect.

2. Keep the soles of your feet flat on the ground, in front of you.

3. Keep your hands on your laps, separate Peter clasped together. And not on the walls, window or chairs.

4. Keep yourself awake. Sometimes, it is good to eat and drink enough, before coming, so that you have enough strength.

5. Stay quiet, and not making noise or playing.

6. Always face the altar. Stop looking about or outside.

Comportment

When you come to prayers, you have to stay the way students stay in their classrooms. They are always ready and watchful, waiting for the teacher to come in. Learn to sit down quietly, and stay silently, with keen interest. While you are sitting down, you have to be actively listening to the teacher or speaker.

How a person sits down in the presence of God matters a lot. It determines the blessings, gifts and powers of the Holy Spirit which the Angels and Saints of heaven shall give to the person.

Even during midnight prayers, people should first take bath with cold or warm water, before entering the temple. The bath shall make them awake, fresh and lively. Also, they should put on a new and clean white garments, not old and dirty white garments.

10. Those who are awake and active.

11. Those who are dancing and rejoicing when it is time to do so. When people come to prayers and worship, or activities and events, they should provide time to dance and rejoice.

Spiritual Ignorance

Enough Feeding

While coming to prayers and worship, do not eat such foods drinks that make you feel weak or tired.

Keep Children Active

Keep all children awake and active and participating, during prayers and worship, even so at night. If you leave your child sleeping during prayers and worship at night, even so the child shall be sleeping in spirit, without gaining spiritual growth, knowledge and powers of the Holy Spirit.
