Fall Backward
carol v:
No 80 year olds in the class musicman, but I was no olympian. The point is that mind control can be a real effective tool of charlatans. Satan does have some powers for trickery from the spiritual realm. Psychics are right just enough to gain followers and divert people from seeking truth.
If this hypnotist can make a bunch of regular people do a trick they wouldn't be able to do otherwise by hitting on the forehead, well so can charlatan preachers. The effects don't last past the trick.

I actually had a minister lay hands on me while during a prayer.
During the prayer I cried and didn't know why, just felt compelled to do so.
After the prayer he touch me, not sure if he pushed me but I moved backwards.
I felted again compelled to fall but I didn't, I did feel the resistance to not fall.
After the experience I left the meeting and stood in the hall wondering what happened.
That same day I heard speaking in tongues for the first time.
Went home checked the scriptures on both incidents and never went back to the meeting.
I always thought these things were a kind of peer pressure.
I saw people slain before and maybe subconsciously I thought I should do the same,
but the first and last time it happened to me I resisted.
This verse you used Joe and Ray has mentioned a few times always comes to mind:
Isa 28:13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
If anything, I find falling backwards a necessary evil for some. In a spiritual sense.
my two cents

When I was in the pentacostal movement, I have fell backward and also once sideways when the preacher blowed his breath in my face.
I don't remember if he had bad breath. :D
I will tell you that was the most embarassing time of my life those years in the pentacostal church.
I just kept going back for more punishment then in 2,000 I believe it was, I knew I was never to return to that movement.
I have not returned to church except a couple times as guests, once was in the Catholic church.
That was another experience that didn't sit well with me.
I didn't have a clue why I was not to go back to church other than it had become a sick place to be, and I just knew.
I had to go through that though to start understanding some truths.

Now this is too weird. I just finished posting a reply and I mention this exact same thing about falling backwards how they all fall backwards. But when the prophets were visited by a messanger of God they always fell face down (always). I remember Ray speaking on this exact subject.

Man, sorry I have been gone for awhile it seems. this thread was started days ago. I'm just catching up. I also went on a stage yrs ago and this guy prayed over me and then was pushing my forehead so that I would go or fall backwards. I did resist and did not go backwards at all. I don;t think he was happy with me because he pushed harder and harder on my forehead. I kept pushing and pushing forward until he moved on to the next person. That guy just fell over like a ton of bricks. I think some people want to believe so bad that they are being touch by the Holy Spirit they will do just about anything. I seen on the Benny Hinn show that he drops them without even a touch, just a wave of the hand or he blows on them and bam they fall over. It is rather funny to me. I think it was Daniel who was visited by Gabriel and Daniel fell face down and all his might left him. Face first in the dirt. can anyone back this up with scripture?
