Subject: Is "slain in the Spirit" biblical? |
Bible Note: Like Paul's thorn and Jesus' prayer ("take this cup..."), sometimes the blessing is in what He witholds and in what happens to our hearts in response to His witholding. It's sometimes so poignant, the feeling that comes from this attitude. Besides, how can I know all that He is actually witholding? (Rom 8:28) "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." As for believing or doubting the genuineness our brethren's actions, I think we are asked to hone, not relinquish our critical objectivity. Discernment is highly scriptural. (Phi 1:9) "And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment," Thanks for your thoughts, Graceful. Colin. |
