Brothers and sisters do not be deceived. This is not of God. This behavior is not confirmed in scripture. At best, being slain in the spirit is of man. It is “group hysteria” or a group of individuals feeding off of one another’s emotions causing erratic behavior. At its worst it is a demonic spirit, an antichrist spirit masquerading itself as God and attacking those who are not following the true faith. It is Satan’s version of what it is like to have the Holy Spirit upon you. It is his imitation of the TRUTH.
If you see this happening, PRAY! Pray, because you are witnessing darkness. Pray that God protects you so that it does not come upon you. You are NOT witnessing the work of the Holy Spirit. Protect yourselves and pray.
You have to start reading the bible so that you will know how God interacts with his children. You have to know the true nature of the Lord or you will be deceived and lead astray by Satan and his fallen angels. These people may call themselves Christians. They may go to church and do good works by worldly standards but they have been deceived.
The Lord tells us to “TEST ALL SPIRITS to see if they are from God” (1 John 4:1). Test All Spirits because Satan is going to try lead you away from all that is Godly. This “chaotic” behavior is not of God. Chaos is where Satan dwells. 1 Corinthians 14:33 “God is not a God of disorder but a God of PEACE. “ God tells use repeatedly in scripture that he does things in an orderly fashion. God does not create confusion. He tells us to stay alert and clear headed (self-controlled).
Think of those faithful followers that we read about in the bible. From cover to cover, the Bible never tells us that when man interacts with God or Christ or the Holy Spirit that the faithful of the church have fallen back in a state of euphoria? Can you find a time when any disciple of God ever ran around when they encountered the Spirit of God (The Holy Spirit). NO!! The Apostles never were “slain in the spirit” not even at Pentecost when all the disciples were gathered together and as scripture says, “tongues of fire rested upon them and they were filled with the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2:1-31 I mean really, if you were going to have a “Slain in the Spirit” moment that would be the time, right?
There are no scriptural references of Abraham or Moses or Daniel or any of the Great Prophets of the Bible being “slain in the spirit”. There are no biblical accounts of anyone being “slain in the spirit” when they met Jesus or when he healed them. This also would be a good time to have that moment of bliss, don’t you think? When God’s Holy Spirit fell upon the Virgin Mary she showed not one sign of being “slain in the spirit”.
Let’s look at a few more examples:
John 1:32 Then John testified, “I saw the Holy Spirit descending like a dove from heaven and resting upon him (Jesus).
To the Jews the dove is was the symbol of gentleness. When the Holy Spirit rested on Jesus there is no record of the Lord falling back or making noises or shaking.
Ah, now let’s look at a few examples of what happens when demon spirits come upon humankind…
Luke 4:33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an evil spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice, …
Luke 3:35 “Be
quiet!”Jesus said sternly. “Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man
down before them all and came out without injuring him.
Mark 9:20 So they brought him (a boy). When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
Remember
the bible tells us that there will be many false signs and wonders shown to us
in order to deceive us. This is to make us follow false versions of the truth.
Remember, what the bible tells us. Satan wants to be worshipped as God, he is called the "father of lies", he is referred to as a deceiver, we are told that he "prowls around looking for souls to devour". Satan is not going to be obvious in his attacks agains the children of God. He is going to present himself in a way that makes us believe we are living holy lives. Don’t you think Satan just loves it when we think we are worshipping God but we
are really worshipping him? This ticks
me off. But many will buy into Satan’s dark imitation of the truth. It feels
good. It feels powerful. So we think that it must be from God, right? Stay Awake! Satan will
tell you what you want to hear. He will make you feel good. His way will make
sense by worldly standards. Stop seeking the world’s version of Christianity,
the “feel good” versions of the truth. Remember your faith is about God, it's NOT about you or your feelings or your prosperity in this world.
Mark 13:22 For false Christ’s (false messiahs, preachers, teachers and false prophets) will rise up and perform signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God's chosen ones.
The
Almighty God of the Universe does not interact in ways with his people that create chaos or causes us to lose control. You will
not be thrashing about or convulsing on the floor when the Lord comes upon you.
You will not roll around laughing. If anything, when his Holy Spirit rest upon
you, you will fall down or bow down in fear and awe; in reverence and worship the
Holy One at the sight and sound of His magnificent glory. Now that’s in the
Bible!!
Today what is practiced as the Holy Spirit resting on us or being “Slain in the Spirit” is simply Satan mocking the Most High God. Don’t let Satan push you around or push you down. Listen to the God of the Bible who doesn’t tell you to fall back in bliss but to “STAND UP for your salvation is near” Luke 21:28 God tells us throughout scripture to STAND FIRM. The Holy Spirit comes to you so that you can stand up and witness to the Truth; to the love, the mercy and glory of the Lord. It is only Satan who wants to “slay your spirit”!!!
I read this on You
Tube by an organization called Worlds Last Chance. “We were created in His image (Genesis
1:26) and we should always act that way.
