W hy does a preacher want people to fall to the ground? What purpose does falling down serves? Whom does it benefit man or God? In this article I will give you a bird's eye view into the sinister world of fake falling down, knows as "slain in the spirit" Some non Christians come to church directly to see the free peep show, when the women felt.

The people of the East have a custom of falling upon their face when they are in the presence of a monarch. People also fall when they are in the presence of God or when they went to approach God, but these people do this voluntarily. Only the case of Paul when he was Saul, it seems to be different he was knocked off his horse, because of the great light that struck him. Today Charismatic leaders when faking the presence of the Lord has a way how they make the people fall to the ground. In this article, my aim is to expose the counterfeits from the real one. Before I go on, I must say that some people had spiritual experience when they fall into a trance. Sometime it is demonic and some time it is of God. If it was of God, the person's life will be genuinely changed after that for the better. Not just religious, but converted.

(1) THE NATURAL FAKE SLAYING IN THE SPIRIT.

In the picture above, I want you to look at the forehead, and the vertebra. Within the vertebra or backbone, is the heart of the nerve's system. Million of tinny cords run up and down within the vertebra, carrying signals all over the body. The trick is this, the preacher laid his hand on top of the people's forehead, then push down while pushing the head over backward. The person finds themselves pushed backward and over, the natural reaction is to put up resistance to this, this resistance put tremendous pressure upon the person's spine, because it was not made to bend back way like that, the tremendous pressure causes the person spinal system to go under stress, the victims feel a sharp sensation like an electric shock and fall over backward. This can kill the victim, any preacher who did this to people should be arrested. To see the trick you have to look closely, stop listening to all the noise, and look closely, you will see the victim's head begin to move backward as the preacher pushing down and back with his hand. The forehand is not the only place to get similar results. If you think I am joking, let your wife try this at home with you at your expense. ( To protect myself I will tell you not to do this experimentation) Why should,,, a preacher done this knowing that it will hurt people and it is only a fake? They saw the other preacher done it, they know people are foolish and will regard them as men of God because he made them feel.

PEOPLE WANT POWER TO DO THINGS AND DO NOT HAVE THE OBEDIENCE AND LOVE TO IN THEM TO EXECUTE IT.

Galatians 5:6 (KJV) For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availed any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. Our faith will not work if love is absent. Our faith will not work if the love of God is not in us.

NINE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT.

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

Ephes. 5:9 (KJV) (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

1 Cor. 12:28 (NASB-U) And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.

NINE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT.

The gifts of the spirit will not work if the fruit is dormant in the believer's life. When the gifts are dormant, the preacher had to resort to trickery, and because people are blinded, they cannot see that a trick is being used on them right from the pulpit.

1 Cor. 12:7-10 (NASB-U) But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. [8] For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; [9] to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, [10] and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues.

(2) FALLING DOWN BECAUSE OF DEMONIC CAUSES.

A preacher having Satanic power posing as the a minister of Christ can be made people fall to the ground also.

Mark 9:20-25 (KJV) [20] And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. [21] And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. [22] And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do anything, have compassion on us, and help us. [23] Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. [24] And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. [25] When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirits, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

Mark 9:18 (KJV) And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foamed, and gnashed with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.

Luke 9:39 (KJV) And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foamed again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.

(3) PEOPLE WANTING TO FALL, PREACHER'S MASCOT.

I know people wanting to feel so when I am praying for a woman that is not married, I would hogged her and put my hand at the back of her head pray for her and let her go. Men I only put my hand on their shoulder. In ordination or importation, I would put my hand on their head lightly, not pushing back or pushing down. At the prison where I have once served as an assistant chaplain, for some four years, I never let my wife speak once, fearing people might fall to the ground, because some people who are badly poses will fall. I assumed that I might be the only Charismatic that do not want people to fall. If the person fall and get hurt your ministry is finished. They do not know what they are playing with and what they are asking for. Falling down only give glory to men and not to God.

Some people follow a certain preacher everywhere he or she went and is the same one falling over everywhere and every time. Just like the hired mourners in the Bible. Since falling down in Charismatic environment is seen as the person receiving the spirit, people fake the falling down stunt. In Charismatic circles the ones that receive the spirit are the one that will be given privileges, and immediately brought into the inner circles of disciples. People wanting this privilege will fall even if the pastor pass flatus. In one charismatic Church, I was teaching the people the word, they start dosing, so I begin to make noise and jump around, the whole churches get up and start shouting out. "Bless him Jesus, Bless him, we have never seen pastor Mc Bean preach like this before, In my mind I am saying "I feel like take off my belt and bless you all on your black backsides, foolish people"

(4) VOLUNTARY FALLING DOWN.

Joshua 7:6 (KJV) And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.

Joshua 7:10 (KJV) And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?

Ezekiel 1:28 (KJV) As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.

Daniel 8:17 (KJV) So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.

GENUINE BIBLICAL FALLING DOWN..

It is after the person fall that the Lord laid his hand upon them to strengthen them. He never lay hands on them and let them fall. People also fall when demons are coming out of them are when demons are going into them.

Rev. 1:17 (KJV) And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

Matthew 17:6 (KJV) And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

Acts 22:7 (KJV) And I fell onto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutes thou me?

RECEIVED STRENGTH AFTER HE WAS TOUCHED.

Daniel 10:17-18 (KJV) For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me. [18] Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,

THE LORD COMMAND MEN TO TAKE THEIR SHOES OFF IN HIS PRESENCE HE DID NOT COMMAND THEM TO FALL.

Exodus 3:5 (Living Bible) "Don't come any closer," God told him. "Take off your shoes, for you are standing on holy ground.

Acts 7:33 (Living Bible) "And the Lord said to him, 'Take off your shoes, for you are standing on holy ground.
