Being slain in the Spirit is a religious phenomenon that occurs in many contemporary Charismatic or Pentecostal church meetings. Many prefer to refer to the phenomenon as "falling under the Spirit's power", "falling before the Lord" or "resting in the Spirit". Although any personal encounter with God's glory and power can result in one falling, typically, being "slain in the Spirit" is associated with occasions of public prayer ministry when the laying on of hands is practiced. In such settings, church members or attendees come forward to the front of the church to receive a special work of the Holy Spirit from the Pastor or service leader. Often a significant amount of time is spent singing and praying during the church service before this point. Attendees are then prayed over and touched by the service leader, the Spirit of God "comes upon them", and they fall -- usually onto their backs. In most cases, their fall is broken by deacons, catchers, ushers or orderlies behind them to prevent injury. In the context of this experience, many Christians believe that they have been healed or given a special blessing by God. Others report seeing visions or hearing God's voice. | ||||||
