“Kneel Down”

May 26, 2024.  Family devotion. 

I was praying for the nations when all of the sudden I saw a white dragon coming out of a deserted place and flew towards me which made me stop praying because I was shocked.  In split seconds, I went back to my consciousness and rebuked it, then, it gone.  I started praying for protection as well as St. Michael’s prayer.  I didn’t feel good about it because it seems like a warning to me.

After our family devotion, I started my research for other meaning but I’m not satisfied with the results.  I don’t know.  There’s something in that vision that I need to know.  I can’t recall the specific nation I prayed when the dragon appeared but the nations I uttered to God at that time were those who experienced war, some nations in Asia and Africa as well as America.

I knew that dragon is a serpent, satan, in spiritual realm but I’m still wondering what it means.  Why it appeared when I prayed about the nations?  Why it was white dragon?  What does it mean?  I tried to asked help but as expected, they have the same meaning as mine in spiritual realm while my Singaporean chatmate told me about Chinese mythology.  In the end, I’m not certain of the message to be conveyed.

When Hurricane Helena hit Florida’s Big Bend on September 24, 2024, my vision flashed back.  It was then I remember that the dragon I saw during our family devotion was a water god, a disaster one.  Do I sound mythology?  Perhaps, because that’s how I interpret it, besides, I cannot deny the fact that after I saw that white dragon, there’s a lot of floods and wildfires all over the world, not to mention the landslides and the earthquakes.  Though it’s normal that calamity and natural disasters occurs but it’s not a coincidence that the nations affected most were the once in my prayer that time.   

December 31, 2024.  Praise Celebration

“Kneel down” were the words I heard in the song, Great is the Lord (29:11 of the video).  What?  I asked but no answer, instead, the song ministered to me.  To be candid, I hesitated to do it because I’m not used to it.  It’s not my way of worshipping God, not even in my personal prayer time except in the Eucharistic mass.  At that time, I was holding my cellphone for documentation because I don’t have tripod to put it on so kind of troubled whether to do it or not. 

For the second time around, I heard it again, “kneel down before me”.  I may not understand why I have to kneel down but I obeyed.   When I heard, “we bow down on our knees” (31:27 of the video), I suddenly kneeled.  There were playing thoughts at the back of my mind, unnecessary concerns most especially of the people’s reaction but I ignored it.  That was my first kneeling down in worship as non-minister.  I mean, I’m used to it when I minister as a dancer but as an attendee, that was my first time, ever. 

While kneeling, I asked God what I’m going to do.  Then the scene of the white dragon flashed back.  With a heavy heart, I started praying for the nations again.  Why heavy?  Because I felt like, I have to plead God in behalf of the nations.  I don’t know.  I can’t explain how it feels.  It was a weird feeling after all.  I was in travailing prayer until the song ended at 35:40 in the video.  I prayed most for the salvation of the nations, revival, spiritual breakthroughs, protection, among others.  To be honest, I’m grateful that nobody asked after the service.

I don’t know what lies ahead for the nations this 2025 but one thing is for sure, God hears our prayers.  We are living in the last days and the enemy is trying to divert things into calamity and disasters but God never sleeps, He never slumbers and He never tired of hearing our prayer.  I may not fully understand the significance of the white dragon to the nations but I’m certain that God will order our future on how we pray today.

Whatever chaos we are seeing in the nations today, let us stand in the gap on behalf of the nations and let God be magnified in everything.  Amen.
