Hi Gena,
I can see what you mean. People come mentally prepared for this kind of experience. I remember many, many years ago, I was "slain in the spirit". It was after a gruelling hour or two of praise and worship and everyone had to go up for prayer and have hands laid on them, and everyone went down slain in the spirit. So when I went up I was expecting it too and with the help of the pastor's kind of gentle pushing, I went down on the floor. (He told me to close my eyes and raise my hands way up. My balance was off) When I was on the floor, everyone was praying over me and I thought I better stay down there because they were expecting me to do that. I felt really ashamed of myself afterwards though because I was decieving people.

Ursula, I did the EXACT same thing and yes I had a not so "gentle" push. Then all the ladies scurry to cover you w/ a cloth. I tried to pray while on the floor but w/ two ladies speaking into each ear "in tongues" I couldn't.(Longhorn, behave!!)
Now, last year our new daughter-in-law went forward for a healing and she was "slain" and she was on the floor for a long time. To this day, she believes she was healed there. I believe she was, because I know she is off her medicine now, but not because of the "slaying". It was her time to get well.

Benny is storing up judgement for the day of wrath and perhaps that is what it will take to bring him to Christ. God is infinately wise and i wish i could know His ways. perhaps someday.......................
LittleBear:
Gina,
That's funny! I didn't get the scurrying because I had pants on. But I also got the tongues.
I'm glad your daughter-in-law was healed, but it's too bad she now puts Benny in a high place in her mind as a result.
Rick,
Definitely, for sure, you will know His ways. God loves to reveal Himself to His children. Just keep pressing in and keep going no matter what.

I went to Jordan & Israel in 1988 with a group from the Church of God. The preacher did a "laying on of hands" around everyone as we stood in a circle. I watched as one by one, they fell backwards. When he touched me, I felt nothing and just stood there. I thought something was wrong with ME!
Of course, I didn't feel obligated to fall, because I wasn't part of their denomination and they knew it.
