Ishilove:
The last one that happened to me was also in Dr Olukoya's programme. That man is a man on fire

Glamglam:

Forgive my ignorance. But, please, who is this man of fire called Dr. Olukoya?

Glamglam:

Wow! Thanks idnoble135...you have thrown so much light into this topic. I hope to share snippets from these to members of my house fellowship because I believe most are questioning this in their minds but haven't had the courage (so to speak) to ask for clarification.

How would one know however if some are falling under anointing or just overwhelmed or generally faking it (sorry to say)? I have also noticed that women are the ones that generally fall a lot! not saying some men don't fall (Frosbel has admitted to falling though he doubts the spirit that possessed him on that occasion lol)

80kobo: Me I don wait tire to fall no show.

It is wa

Goshen360: Mehn, this topic don waka reach FP. LORD! Lemme see how I can follow up. I have to go through the thread from where I left.

Glamglam: 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

Joey82: as for me, i be cameraman.

Mr Aboki: Sherimamamama Kikima.

Receive your blessing..

idnoble135:
I thought you abandoned the thread.
Am really feeling sleepy

big head: One of them even bent ma neck backwards for more than 15 minutes claiming to ba calling out some spirits from my soul. By the time he finished I thought the devil was sitting on ma head with a cushion chair cos ma neck and head was so heavy that I had to stay on the ground for almost one hour, and there goes my mum she was like "Thank you Jesus" and on ma mind I was like "mum this is fraud"

Most of them tell big fat lies.
But I ni blame them sha....
Nig'gas must eat and men of God must eat. But 99% of them do that by brainwashing the unsuspecting public

80kobo: Me I don wait tire to fall no show.


It is wa

bad meat: I wonder y ladies cover their skirt and hold their wrapper any time they start shaking under annointing,how can one be under anointing dey cover skirt make we nor see her pant

agb2011:
It depends on your level of concentration. Cameramen are too distracted by what they are doing; checking the sounds, visual image, etc. their minds are so preoccupied with what they are doing that their spirit man is not connected.
I've never fallen under anointing before but there was a time that I felt dizzy to the point of staggering. The only way I know how to stop it was by distracting myself mostly by thinking of worldly things like? Immediately, I got control of my body back. I don't know whether it's right to do that or not.

tonnieblaise: one certain vigil,wen d pastor was doin deliverance and anointin 4 d sick,i came out cos i was not feelin too well den,almost evry1 dat came out wit me were fallin down unda d aniontin wen d pastor got to me,mehn d pastor use all im strenght,he pushed,turned and was rounding me all around but me claim strong head i no fall,d pastor use all im power until im taya come shake head...lol (the "paito" be like...your case is pathetic)

dere was a time local tv stations use 2 air one pastor's healing stuff like dat,and d man of God will just blow breeze and evry1 esp dose in frnt will fall down....i come dey wonder weda d cameraman no dey fall unda anionting

Ayatullah:


If you want to know the secret of what happened to you that day, get the VIDEO CD of former Pastor Mathew Oyewole, now a Muslim with the name Moshood Oyewole. The title of the VIDEO CD is ISLAM, THE ONLY WAY TO SALVATION.

Glamglam:

What? You made people fall? Can you say if they were mostly female?

Ishilove: 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

thorpido: It's not a new thing to turn from Christianity.The bible already says some will depart.
'They went out from us;but they were not of us:for if they had been of us,they would no doubt have continued with us:but they went out,that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.'(1 John 2:19).

During the time of Jesus on the earth,some people turned away from Him.'From that time many of His disciples went back,and walked no more with Him'(John 6:66).
Nevertheless,one of them said,..'to whom shall we go?thou hast the words of eternal life(vs 69).
Jesus has the words of eternal life no prophet had.
Jesus is Lord.

bayodaniel: @frosbel,didnt u read in ur bible when they went to arrest jesus that that fell after he said "here am i".

superior1: 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!!

superior1:

Acts 6:6
They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.

1 Timothy 4:14
Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you

2 Timothy 1:6
6For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

Laying of hands is very scriptural and useful in dedication, commission and impartation of the anointing




Some ministers do get it wrong in their manner of ministeration. I remember reading somewhere how Benny Hinn got rebuked by an elder to stop throwing his suit at people to impart them with the anointing. We can't however throw away the baby with bath water. Ministers do lay hand on people asking for Holy Spirit impartation or commissioning them for the work of the ministry. It is very scriptural.

1 Timothy 4:14
Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you

2 Timothy 1:6
6For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.




No, i disagree on this. On the day of Pentecost like i stated earlier, we have reasons to believe the Apostles got DRUNK with the anointing and the impartation of the Holy Spirit so much some Jews said they have taken NEW wine (New wine most probably intoxicates more). If the Apostles were merely speaking divers of languages and conducted themselves properly, they wont be called drunk men (talkless of being drunk with new wine). A drunk man do not only fall but roll on the floor, stagger, laugh etc.

Acts 2
13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.


One of the attributes of the Holy Spirit that we can deduce from the bible is that He Manifests, He shows His presence and He cant be limited to human explanation of being poised.

Acts 2
1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

To Elijah, He came like a still small voice but on the day of Pentecost, he came like the rushing of a MIGHTY wind,
1. Rush

2. Mighty wind

3. With audible sound
In today's vocab, we will say He descended like a Tsunami That is sure different from Elijah's experience and yet it is the same Holy Spirit.

idnoble135: @Goshen, you talked about asking the Holy Spirit to move.
Though i dont do that, i dont have any problem with that.
In Gen 1, we are told the Spirit of God moved.
"....And the Spirit of God moved over the surface of the deep" Gen 1:2
We clearly know that the Spirit of God is also omnipresent. Psalm 139:7. So why did the Spirit had to move even though He was present? Because, that is what precede any great work or blessing that God would do. God did not say anything till the Spirit moved. And it is important to note that it is move of the Spirit that started the creation process. So it is safe to say, if our meetings would yield great fruits, the Spirit of God must be given liberty. Some pastors can say, "Spirit move...." a thousand times. To me, nothing is wrong with that. I see it as an invitation to the Spirit of God to have His course in the meeting. And some pastors dont need to say such. But we must bear in mind that God relates with us all in diverse yet impartial way.

idnoble135: @Goshen, we can use the word anointing and power interchangeably. Because bible also uses the word "power" in the description that it is in us. Ephe 3:20.
So like i said, the old testament experienced the anointing upon because the Power of God came upon them to achieve some extra ordinary feat like samson or to prophesy like the old prophets of old.
And in the new testament also, the anointing dwells in us which is far greater than that of the old testament because the anointing dwells in us. I use the word greater because the anointing in us abides in us forever, unlike that of the old testament whereby the anointing comes upon them for a season.
Having said this, i would now refer us to James 5:16b, which says, "The
earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of
a righteous man
makes tremendous
power available
[dynamic in its
working]".
So you see, it talks about some thing different. We know the power of God is in us. But we here we are told that we need to tarry in prayer to access this power. This brings it me that, the ability of the old testament(i.e) the anointing that was talked about is still available. We did not need to do anything to recieve the anointing within(provided we are believers), but we are told we would tarry in prayer to access the anointing upon.
So this indicates two levels of empowerment.
Jesus himself recieved the Holy Spirit. Luke 3:22. But he went to the wilderness again to fast and pray. And then, note what the scripture says, "And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit". Luke 4:14
The anointing upon is vital for those who have recieved a special ministry(like the ministry Paul talked about in Col 4:17) of the Lord.
So that explains that the anointing is within us. But there is also a special anointing(that of the old testament) also that is still relevant to our time.
