Becoming A Vessel Of Honor Rebecca Brown

46 "Out they would go, every time. She then did it to me and I fell over unconscious. I guess I was out for five minutes or so. When I awoke, I found that I had acquired a new demon. Mary told me this special demon would put demons into the people I prayed for. And so he did. Fm sure that isn’t the only way people put demons into people by having them hold their hands like that, but that is how we did it." "You know, I have always wondered about the widespread acceptance of this ’slaying in the spirit’by Christians. Have you ever stopped to think that they all fall backwards? In the Bible, in every instance, when God’s people fell before His presence, they fell FORWARDS, prostrate onto their faces in an attitude ofworship. For example, John 18:6 says: The Greek word for "ground," in that verse is "chamai" (Strong’s number 5476) meaning prostrate. One definition for prostrate in Webster’s New World Dictionary is: "Lying with the face downward in demonstration of great humility or abject submission." It seems like that verse may be saying that the men actual ly stepped backward, then, fell forward on their faces. I have never seen anyone ’slain in the spirit’fall forwards," Rebec ca commented thoughtfully. "I don’t have the answers to this question, but I can tell you I am really seeking and search ing. I am very uneasy about the practice. I am not surprised that Satan’s servants take advantage of the practice." "Yes, you are right," Joyce said. "I am horrified now as I look back at the number of Christians I put demons into through that practice! They were so eager and willing to go uncon "As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground." The NIV says, "...they drew back and fell to the ground."
