That is just complete nonsense.
When a person prays with their understanding, and especially when a disciple prays in the Spirit [tongues], of course
it is a direct connect to God.
Who are you praying to? Mary? Joseph? St Boniface?
What's nonsence is the idea that men can pray in a unknown and expect to know something?
How would they understand why they are falling backward if God does not reveal it? The mystical, wonderment as mocking God with stammering lips feels good?
Take a guess at it or just fall backward and don't ask question that could lead a person to the actually know what the sign does confirm??
Isaiah 28:11-13 King James Version (KJV) For with stammering
(mocking) lips and
another tongue will he speak to
this people.
To
whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing:
yet they would not hear.
But the word of the Lord
(tongue) was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and
fall backward,
and be broken, and snared, and taken.
I would think twice about falling backward.(confirming judgement "neck broken") Falling back a picture of God's fiery judgment.
Try forward, a sign of worship.(many examples)
Those who come forward as a sign will not be affected by the poison of false doctrine.
Genesis 49:17 Dan shall be a
serpent by the way, an
adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall
fall backward
1 Samuel 4:18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he
fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
Psalm 40:14Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be
driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
Psalm 70:2Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be
turned backward, and
put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
Isaiah 1:4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger,
they are gone away backward.
Judas is used as Dan to represent
those who
fall backward...
John 18:5- (KJV) They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And
Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they
went backward, and
fell to the ground.
Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
