Bible Note: You are right in saying that there is no scripture reference for being slain in the spirit. I have worked under men of God who have "poured oil" on a dead person and have seen them raised from the dead. I am sorry for the words "deluded fools". It gets my dander up when people have the audacity to comment on the works of a minister who they think is using theatrics for the power of God to heal people. God told us to go out and preach to the whole world, laying hands on those who need it, in the Name of Jesus. I can't give you scripture for those who are "slain in the spirit." I was the worst skeptic in the world and I didn't believe it myself until God showed it to me one night and I hit the floor also. I can only describe it to you as a great burst of power that seems to overwhelm your mind with love. When that overwhelming love pours into your spirit in such a powerful way, the human mind cannot accept it and you will literally hit the floor, "slain in the spirit." What matters it, if people are healed by being slain in the spirit? Sure there are some who use theatrics. But the majority overshadow them all. I would rather see someone do back-flips off a podium if that is what it takes to see them healed, than to tell them there is no basis for being slain in the spirit. There are many who lose their healings after a few days, but they have not followed up on the teachings of how to keep their healings. Satan uses any means to take away the blessings of God. I have seen people healed and a couple of weeks later be right back in the same fix they were in before. But, explain this to me Ed, if they were healed and they lost their healing, how did they get healed in the first place? Through theatrics? |
