Please can someone shed more light on this topic. The church I attend, every anointing service, the pastor lays his hands on every single member of the congregation. Most people start falling. When I asked a deacon, he said they are falling under the anointing. I don't fall however Does that mean anointing no dey catch me? Lol.

Have you experienced this, are there any Biblical references on this topic. Please share.
Thanks

The people that fire sat upon them on the day of Pentecost didn't fall. If these people are falling under laying on of hands, what will happen when fire sit on them like the day of Pentecost? Tell them to take the 'catchers' behind those falling away and let's see if they will continue to fall.

It's because they position catchers behind those falling that makes them continue to fall. If most of them without catchers fall and hit his\her head of the ground, they will learn self control in a hard way. The spirit of a prophet is subject to a prophet.

Goshen sometimes, the 'catchers' fall too Oh!! It's strange to watch. I have noticed that there are regular people that tend to fall sha.

Previous comments said the pastor slapped his head lol! The pastor in my own church does not slap heads oh!

I've fallen a couple of times. The feeling is indescribable . It feels like powerful electricity volts. It jolts your spiritman and your physical senses gets scrambled and loses all cordination. The minister didn't even have to touch me; the power of God flowing through the our midst did the touching. I just staggered backwards, scattered all the chairs in my immediate sorroundings and fell yakata like small pikin.

There I lay, slain in the spirit, speaking in tongues and praising the Lord...hallelujah!!!

Ooookay, lemme not exaggerate...

I lay, a writhing mass, slain in the spirit for a couple of minutes. When I recovered, I dusted my body, staggered back to my seat and sat in sober silence for the rest of the service

My dear, why is it that you can describe the physical effects...but not the spiritual or psychological effects?

Afterall, at that moment you are 'communing with the holy ghost'?

The physical manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the Apostles on the day of pentecost was such that some of the Jews concluded the Apostles were drunk, Peter had to tell them they weren't (He even told them It was too early to drink so they could believe him this further proving there were signs of intoxication among the Apostles). A drunk man is likely to fall, stagger, shout, dance etc

Acts 2:12-13
12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

When you read Ephesians 5 vs 18
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit

You will see Paul making a statement that suggest it is possible to be drunk in the Holy Spirit

There are divers manifestation of the Holy Spirit, falling under the Holy Spirit is part of it(it doesn't however mean some ministers and members don't fake it. It also doesn't mean all falling can be ascribed to the Holy Spirit)

I have sat under ministration were men of calm nature (people who do not have any reason to want to fake anything) suddenly started laughing, jumping, falling etc. These are professionals who are not even members of the ministry!!

Like I mentioned, jack, it is very profound. I can't really describe it.

You were hypnotised my friend...That's why you cannot describe it. lol
How can you be 'speaking in tongues' but cannot describe who or what you were communicating with?

I've attended shows where Grown men were hypnotized to believe they were chickens...and they actually squawked and clucked about on stage when a piece of music was played

Some people are more open to suggestion and subliminals....seems like you fall into that bracket...

That's good for me sha...meaning toasting you no go hard

Yet you cannot describe to me this great lucidity you now possess...

A blind woman describing the house in front of her to a deaf man...in a loud voice

You will NEVER understand until it happens to you.

Please do not berate me when I tell my story , because though our experiences matched, I truly do not think it was of GOD.

I had the experience once and no one touched me, a lady was giving a testimony at UI about her deliverance from witchcraft after which we went into praise and worship, as I was praising GOD, i noticed my body full of electricity and gradually fell to the ground, was carried to the front of church.

If you ask me, in retrospect, I truly do not think this was godly, there were so many crazy experiences on campus those days.

Other than this experience, once in Kano and a few other vaguely remembered situations when the pastors tried to force me to fall under the 'anointing' , I dug my heels into the ground and refused to budge.

Experiences can be deceptive and misleading.

Sorry , there is no evidence in scripture to prove that one of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit is falling down , if there is , please show me.

The Holy Spirit empowers for service not for show.

Wow! I have read and studied topics on the anointing. I have seen people fall in some meetings even with out being touched. Sometimes during prayers, other times during worship or during direct ministration. People can say its not real but i know it is. A christian can carry such anointing. The basic thing is can the person who desire such tarry in prayer?
@Ishi, God bless you. God's power is real, it is tangible. It is still for us and never faded away.

@Op, it is real. Though some people can fake it. But there abound some that when you see it, you just know this was not faked.
To understand it personally, go to your place of prayer. Or attend some Spirit filled meetings. Its real!

:O wow! Are you sure it's not my church this happened to you? Chairs scattering etc. That must have been painful. So did you feel closer to God after this encounter?

Funny enough it isn't painful. The chair scattering part is as a result as a loss of control over your body. The 'catchers' are usually too far when it happens, so you are at liberty to scatter the chairs around you and trod on a few toes while you're at it .

The temptation to remain 'slain' is there, but eventually, you slowly recover and you have no choice but get up. In my case, I felt shaken to my bone marrows on various occasions, and on one particular occasion, my hands vibrated non-stop for close to forty minutes. After that day, my spiritman was renewed and I felt like three women. However, the cares and troubles of this world distracted me and slowly supressed the fire...and you know the rest

It is indeed real. I have seen it happen a lot during praise and worship. I can't explain: you have to experience it to fully appreciate it.

Too bad about the distractions, have you a call into the work of the ministry?

superior1:

I have something, though I wouldn't go so far as to call it 'The Call'.

Distractions and oppositions. Let me stop there.

Funny enough you don't actually hit your head on the floor with or without 'catchers'. It's almost like you're flying....you fall light as a feather. Catchers are really not necessary, unless na just job description for dem since ushers don plenty

Ishilove:

Well, well I perceive its more than just 'something' maybe it is good you start searching the mind of God about it and start living it(if you haven't already).

Isn't distractions one of the biggest tool of the devil? ( I have got some).

@Topic, while I do not accept just any teaching (I reject outrightly any extra biblical teachings) I think some Christians tend to feel they have known everything about the Holy Spirit and His workings (ridiculous). In their tiny mindset like that of Thomas unless I see am gangan or it happens to me nipato, it can't be.

Deut 29:29
29 The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
