I read the first paragraph and see the second is a different view.

Blain,

Are you full of the Holy Spirit?


If so, then Satan could never knock you off your feet.


Are you full of the Holy Spirit?
yes I am and that is why it wasn't satan who did it and it was full of life like electricity flowing life the devil doesn't give life.

Amen, I believe you.

My questioning is an attempt to shed light that you are sincere, honest, and was not seduced by Satan.

Also the laying of hands is in scripture Jesus did it Timothy did it too but where does the scripture speak of satan being able to posses or even knock down a believer in Christ? I am not confused as to who it was that I yeilded to my question was can it be explained in scripture and I am more certain about this ecperience than I am about people who say such horrible things to a fellow Christian I am starting to wonder who is the carnal christian here

Might I remind you the enemy accuses mocks and slanders God has patience love and peace I have been nothing but kind while others here slander and make false accusations about me so who are you serving just by the fruits of which you serve?

You can claim you are going against false doctyrine but if you were doing it by the spirits leading you would show the fruits of it the enemy however can be very sneaky like I said to you before @studentoftheword you know how to fight false doctrine and how not to and I expected better of you

You can think what you want of me what matters is what Christ thinks of me
I agree with you here ----Christ looks at the Heart of a person not the Physical person ----

So your a Christian ----God sees your heart and out of the Heart the mouth speaks ====

The heart and mouth are connected ----according to scripture ----



So your heart is with God but what you speak here in this Thread doesn't match where your heart is suppose to be --

For instance ---

God says ----
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control” (2 Timothy 1:7)

This is your quote here from Opening post ---

Your Quote here ------- as I got to the top she put her hands on my forehead and my body fell backwards but was caught by several people who began speaking tongues over me I even tried to resist and get up but my body simply wouldn't and I saw a portal open and jesus was smiling at me

So here you have lost control of your body as it fell backwards ----you tried to resist and get up but your body simply wouldn't -----so you couldn't resist the force that was there holding you down -----

Does this not go against what God is saying in 2 Tim 1:17 -----that He has given you self control --

So your Speaking here doesn't match what is suppose to be in your heart ------your speaking the opposite of what God has given you -----

Which makes no sense if your heart is truly for God ------your mouth should be speaking and agreeing with what God is saying in His word not going against it ----

So here in Post 12 ----this is your Quote Blain

No she didn't push she just placed her hand on my forehead and body just flew backwards

I say -----So here you state that you just didn't fall backwards ----now you say you Flew backwards ----

So it seems you have changed your wording here and now your flying backwards -----which makes it a little more forceful than just falling -----


I just hope you didn't get hurt in this flying endeavor

May peace be yours -----:) all the best to you -----

and what implies it is speaking of my experience? self control is something that is practiced self control is me not letting your crude words get to me self control is responding in a mature christ like manner to any debate or argument but you take it out of context to use in this scenareo when we both know that isn;t what the scripture is saying.

Tell me this where in scripture can the devil posess or knock down a believer in Christ?

Actually, it does, in Acts 2. Peter quotes that exact passage, saying (in reference to the filling they
had just experienced), "This is what was spoken by the prophet Joel." It couldn't be more clear. ;)

Acts 2:17 (Joel 2:28) In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

Here is a question and a story I visited a church called rebibal for Christ this place was unlike any other church I have been to the spirit hits you like a wall when you walk in. well the preacher was a woman and she was preaching powerfully as I listened I began to feel a kind of trance take over and my head kepts falling backwards but I resisted it until the third time now I had a broken foot at that time but the spirit took over my body and I began walking to the stage barely aware of what was going on

she kept preaching seeing me walking to the stage and as soon as I got to the top she put her hands on my forehead and my body fell backwards but was caught by several people who began speaking tongues over me I even tried to resist and get up but my body simply wouldn't and I saw a portal open and jesus was smiling at me

Now this was what I think is called slain in the spirit but my question is if this can be explained with scripture
Were there people interpreting the people speaking in tongues?

Just the name of the church tells me they don’t take their faith seriously
That is quite an assumption the name of the church is revival for Christ what about that makes you think they don't take their faith seriously?

Also, this thread makes sense, considering you created a thread that said Blain’s art and only posted AI art, which isn’t your art at all.

Honestly something doesn't sound right about that to me. I used to practice speaking in tongues for years and I never knew what I was saying and I was told it was supposed to edify me. I don't believe the Holy Spirit takes hold of one's body and forces them to go somewhere. In Galatians 5:22-23 it says:

Galatians 5:22-23 ESV
[22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

https://bible.com/bible/59/gal.5.22-23.ESV

Self control is in the list of the fruit of the Spirit.

yes but this scripture isn't speaking on my experience and the holy spirit didnt force me I yeilded to him and allowed him to guide me and it did edify me my faith and relationship with God vastly increased after that

and again there was life in it a surge of it the enemy doesn't give life

Firstly..

Women preaching?

No examples of a women as a bishop/pastor in the Bible.

Secondly...

We shouldn't rely on experience over the objectivity of Scripture.

Third..

What does this lady believe about salvation and the work of the Holy Spirit?

This has probably already been covered..but you dont turn off your brain when encountering this kind of thing..you stay sober minded.. test the spirits, discern.

I was once a charismatic and a New Ager..I know what this is like.
