Re: Slain in the Spirit

It happens pretty often in our AOG church, I myself cant speak for anyone else but I have a hard time believing in the whole falling out thing...I have a hard time accepting extra biblical church stuff...

What are your views on such an experience? Does it happen often in your church? Have you ever been "Slain in the Spirit"?

I have seen it happen in our AG church, but in our UPC church it was common to see people drunk in the Spirit. I have never been slain in the Spirit.

Re: Slain in the Spirit

I wasn't sure what to make of it, Ive seen some the silliness involved with it and other demonstrations but kept an open mind to it. Eventually Ive experienced this on two different occasions both were during times of trial and struggle. I can describe it as a feeling of being intensely overwhelmed by the Spirit of God, beyond what I could physically handle. After all was said and done I got up feeling unburdened and content. We dont see this happen often in our local assembly.

For me, it's an overwhelming sense of surrender. It's just falling prostrate in prayer and worship. Nothing knocks me down. lol

Consult "Webster Dictionary " it will tell you what it is.
I just found out some pastors consult this book all the time about spiritual matters...........................

I've experienced it 3 times since i've been Apostolic. Seems like there was a MAJOR emphasis in the Charismatic movement on it...and it seemed a lil shallow..like people would just fall and act like they were asleep or something. Not the same way when I have seen it in Apostolic Churches. Everytime I see it now it is often accompanied by intense prayer and intercession. The couple times I have experienced it, I could not stand or walk afterwards.

So only real moves happen in the Apostolic circles???

Re: Slain in the Spirit

Yea Navy you did not know that, my old Apostolic preacher at my old church accually had the nerve to say that our AG pastor did not really speak in tongues...lol...Apostolics have the original to everything and only they "know how to do it right"...
