So interesting that people say that being 'slain in the spirit' is of the devil. Very interesting....Consider:

From the NIV, Luke Chapter 9

49"Master," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us." 50"Do not stop him," Jesus said, "for whoever is not against you is for you."

1 Corinthians 12:3
Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.


Dont assume because you believe someone, somewhere, to be doing something fake, means that everyone, everywhere, is also doing the same thing in a fake way, only seeking 'signs and wonders'.

Also, to say that it has only been a bad thing when people have laid down prostrate in the Bible was due to something other than the Glory of God, has not studied the OT on this matter. Let me elaborate:

Ezekiel 44:4
I saw the Glory of the LORD filling the temple of the LORD, and I fell facedown

Genesis 17:3
Abram fell facedown, and God said to him,

Leviticus 9:24
Fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown.

Numbers 14:5
Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown in front of the whole Israelite assembly gathered there.

Joshua 7:6
Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell facedown to the ground before the ark of the LORD , remaining there till evening. The elders of Israel did the same, and sprinkled dust on their heads

1 Chronicles 21:16
David looked up and saw the angel of the LORD standing between heaven and earth, with a drawn sword in his hand extended over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell facedown.

Ezekiel 1:28
Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD . When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.


Well, I guess the WORD itself has elaborated enough. No, I am not saying that the Bible says these people were 'slain in the Spirit'. But you see the same reaction. Under the presence, under the annointing, upon the Glory of our LORD, these people fell facedown. It does not say that they fell backwards, or that it was voluntary or not. But that doesnt take away from the fact that it happened: they fell down.....

Grace, and Peace to you all.
