Standing Before the Lord

Описание: Preachings from Deliverance Church Umoja Lanet.
This Sunday, we received a powerful revelation on what it truly means to stand before the Lord, drawn from Elijah’s declaration in 1 Kings 17:1, “before whom I stand.” Standing before God is not a physical posture but a spiritual position—a life lived with constant God-consciousness, free from casual sin, compromise, and pretense. It is living in divine alignment, where listening precedes speaking and presence precedes power. Like the priests who ministered and the prophets who heard, standing before the Lord is a declaration of availability, obedience, and readiness to represent Him, because no one can represent a God they do not first stand before.
We also learned that standing before the Lord changes levels and releases authority. Elijah’s significance was not announced by his background but by his posture in God’s presence—heaven recognized him before earth did. This posture pulls believers out of obscurity and rewrites their introduction. We are taught to stand before the Lord through prayer that builds a private altar, the Word that anchors us in divine counsel, holiness that refuses compromise, and obedience that responds without delay. When we stand before Him, our words carry weight, our prayers carry heaven’s authority, and our lives carry divine influence, backed by God Himself.
