I have been slain in the Spirit before, when a man of God layed his hands on me. This was not a man of God who was after money or fame. Our church was very small about 15 people and most of us where poor. This man of God had no house, car or material possession his entire concern was the Holy Spirit. He pastored in a village Church, he would spend all day praying.

i have been slain in the Spirit - in that, God has healed me of anxiety, insecurity and strengthens my inner being.

When I got slain in the spirit, it was nothing like that, no one hit me or pushed me, I just ended up on the floor in church, it didn't last long, only a few mins but I've never felt anything like it since, it was like being loved from head to toe in such a deep way, I have no words for it. As close as I could describe it, it was like a caccoon of pure love.
I came to in what could have been hours but I asked the closest person how long was I out for, and he replied only a few mins, I asked why no one had checked on me or something like that but he said he could feel the presence of God and left me alone. It was the most beautiful thing ever.
Just the once though, there was no shaking, no trembling, nothing like that, just a calm feeling of pure love.
As far as I remember, I was just sitting there in quiet worship when it happened.

I am a very down to earth person who questions and analyses everything before trusting. I went to a service in a Pentecostal church. No more than one hundred and thirty people or so. I stood up the front for prayer. And the pastor came down and places his hands on my shoulders and started praying and my knees just weakened and gave way. I dropped to the ground and just lay there feeling very peaceful and comforted for a few mins.
I still question if it was the holy spirit. But if it wasn't. Then what was it. It certainly didn't feel demonic.

How do I post this on my fb page without my "friends " coming at me like angry villagers???🤔😳

THE POWER OF GOD MAY MAKE US FALL but we cannot use that as a doctrine.
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. (Revelation 1:17-18 ESV)

Lord willing, can you do the topic "can a christian be demon posessed?" The only person i have seen that did a detailed video against it is the hernandez person you showed in the beg who has some questionable doctrine but i agree with him on Christians not able to be demon posessed. Those who believe a christian can have a demon are loud and twist the scriptures, i cant find many sound preachers speaking against it (perhaps i overlooked it)? Looking forward to watch the full video now 🙏

Been slain in the spirit before and it was an experience like none other.I understand your position and point of concern.but in my case I was with a pastor who hardly has a church one would call mega church, most of his congregants are very very poor folks whom he helps more than they help him.his church doesn’t even have electricity, there are no lights, no music system, no fog system, not even a pulpit that’s how poor his church is.I got slain whilst we were just talking and sharing about Christ in his vehicle.with homosexualism now entering the church and other various despicable human depravity entering our church how has being slain in the spirit been your overriding concern?
