Fall Backward

<< < (3/11) > >>

ellie77:
When I went back into the Babylon Church to be bought out,(Thank the Lord) I was going to a number of healing services. The idea of people coming forward to receive prayer and if they did fall backwards,which they did,was that they where being filled with the holy spirit.Usually someone was behind them to catch them and lay them on the floor. Someone would sit beside them until they came out of it.Sometimes a little extra prayer was said to them.When I went forward on the day,and received prayer and the laying on of hands,I just felt a giving way feeling and sort of crumbled. I was pulled aside and sat on a chair,leaning on another woman, who grew rather impatient with me and tried to get me to sit up and be normal.I felt a long way away,dozy and spaced out.
       None of this had anything to do with the Holy Spirit,in my mind and I took a long time to recover.I felt very drained and weak".God is working in you" I was told........
      Now when I look back I see that it is nothing more than a type of hypnosis.It is exactly the same thing,just different words used. The difference being that the Hypnotist puts you under,watches you,gets you to perform,or programs you to ......loose weight......stop whatever....then brings you out of that state to alertness and awareness and makes sure you are O>K>..
       To me, from all I have seen and experienced this type of laying on of hands is just not of God and is really rather dangerous practice altogether.

I remember back when I was in like the 5th and 6th grade; I went to a Pentecostal based Christian School and once per month or so, my class would get into a circle and singe songs and get prayed for by other students etc. Quite a few times they would have a few students stand behind the others who were being prayed for (to catch them as they fell backwards) and the teacher would tell us to "fall back under the power of the holy spirit". The teacher would always warn not to "fake it"...."just let the power of the holy spirit do it"! Well, every student would eventually fall backwards into the arms of the one behind them..except me! I would ALWAYS be the only one left standing. I just could not let myself fall when I KNEW nothing was "making" me fall. It blows me away to this very day.

These kinds of things would happen to me during church services many times over the years, until I left the whole Babylonian system just a coupe years ago — every time I would walk up to an "alter call", most people would fall back and I would be one of the only ones left standing, if not the ONLY one left standing. I would always wonder why the holy spirit would knock everyone else down in line except me. It made me wonder if I was really "one of them". Well, now I know.

Cheers,
Jeremy

This really is proving to be interesting.  I don't guess it 'proves' anything, but it raises some cool questions.

OBrenda:
Great Scriptures Joe!  
Very Interesting that they fell backwards when trying to arrest Jesus!
Seems to me, to fall backwards involved being pushed away from.

Sounds like some of us that were left standing alone, had some Brothers & Sisters out there standing with us.

Joe,

You think that is weird, check out the "Toronto blessing".
It's just plain nuts. Talk about carnal...
