John Fenn The effect of the Holy Spirit on the body slain in the spirit

[@BrandonLee-iv6kj]

Thank you John for this quick teaching of how our Father downloads revelation and his presence to us all by his Holy Spirit. I remember one time during a Thursday night, I went to a church service of prayer and worship-- they were slightly combined of worship songs and praying in tongues at the same time. I was so moved in the Spirit that I prayed non stop in the spirit for a good 30-40 minutes with my arms raised without having any feeling of soreness or tiredness! Absolutely amazing how great the Father is!

[@AnsweringMusic]

That was very supernatural!

[@McgarickWAstate]

Back in 2002 April 15 ,God gave me a dream. A super intense one.. after the dream. I was in awe, and started to thank God for this experience..as I started to relax again, the Holy Spirit came upon me and went through my body in waves of glory, like pulsating waves, for what seamed like a minute.. if it got any more intense, I felt like it was going to kill me, like I was going to come apart at the seams, literally. I had the impression in my spirit that it was but a dewdrop of his holiness and Glory. It was really incredible

[@marygray2906]

I experience this the day I got saved I felt a warm blanket over me I couldn't stop crying and I felt frozen in place but lots of peace also I lost track of time I will never forget that day but since it took place in a church day didn't believe in the supernatural I didn't tell anyone in the church because I really didn't know if this experience was normal . Now after so many years of other people experiencing similary I have no doubt it was God' s Spirit

Awesome snippet ! Have a blessed day!

[@prothx2]

I've prayed with my mum at home at one time, and she was slain by the Holy Spirit, a prophet prophesied this outcome about one year prior to it happening. Later, after about 2yrs, during a 6am-2pm 41 days of fasting, on the 34th day, I had a dream where power flowed into me like a fast stream of water from a well known Spirit filled minister of God in Nigeria. Before the power flowed in the dream, when I approached where he was ministering, the whole congregation, including him were all slain by the Holy Spirit. Something drew my attention to where this minister was lying on the floor. When I got close enough for me to touch him. Suddenly, he just sat up, held both of my hands with his two hands and a powerful stream like water with some electricity effect flowed into me. During this transfer, I could not remove my hands from him, it was more of like, my hands went into magnet mode. Initially, the intensity of the transfer was so strong, but later on, it decreased in intensity gradually until it ended. Then the dream ends. I'm puzzled about this and don't know what will happen next. Before praying with my mum, the gifts of healing had been given to me by God. And now the ability to cast out devils switched on this year and it's getting stronger. But I am perplexed about that power flow into me.

[@davearu38]

I was into these when i was in a charismatic church, but i needed to know the truth as i was skeptical, since nothing like this was every clearly mentioned in scripture, chiasmatic take verses out of context to justify their actions, my God is a God of order, not chaos. What i saw in my previous church was sensual , emotions and chaos. Also how do we explain similar behaviors in the Muslim and Hinduism, they have slain , crying, emotional , laying of hands and all sorts as well?

[@diligenceeke3023]

Because all religions have spirits. I mean this is so simple to understand. The essence/energy of spirits can knock people down when they are in their presence. It doesn't matter the religion. We happen to be Christians and thank God Jesus is the true God. I don't know why we always think we could worship God without our emotions. The Bible clearly states that we must serve the Lord with all out heart, mind and strength.

[@davearu38]

@@diligenceeke3023 GOD provided guidance in His word to test the spirits . The Bible is for believers it is written for us . We ought to follow its guidance. 1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. GOD is an orderly GOD who does not leave His children confused GOD has laid it all out for us in the word and anything extra may not be of GOD 1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. Fruit of the spirit is also self control . Falling and behaving in a way of uncontrollable manifestations - how is this the Holy Spirit ??

[@diligenceeke3023]

​@@davearu38 Kindly read the scriptures a bit more. Have you ever wondered why people who watched the apostles when they received the Holy Ghost on Pentecost said they were drunk? Peter had to come tell them they were not drunk. The reason was because they were actually acting drunk!! All through thr scriptures in Daniel, Ezekiel, etc when people saw the Lord or even angels in some cases they fell down. Your definition of order is, unfortunately, not exactly what the Bible refers to as order. Jesus' meetings in the new testament was always chaotic. To answer your question, how would you explain to a Muslim that Peter the Apostle caused the death of Ananias and Sephira just because they told lies? Not everything is worth explaining!

[@rogerwalsberg]

Makes sense, although I've never felt anything like that. When I pray I cry, but I'm just regretting my failures I think.

[@cathalmckenna8198]

Hi John. Love these little videos. Can you explain the counterfeit experience. Iv seen some of these guys on TV walking around touching people and they shake there head or rolling around. I see some people in my church after the paster preaches up rolling around on the floor or on the aulter like trying to pick up anointing or something. I'm the only white man in an all black church . It looks kinds weird when there at it.

[@actsofapostlescontinued2636]

I do feel goose bumps, sometimes is like cold water poured on me, especially when am leading i do feel him.

[@heroshion21]

Hey, quick question. Is there a tingling sensation that you get? I've had a moment when I did something I didn't expect to do and shared the gospel with someone. A minute before I felt a tingling sensation and I got up and left towards the person and then shared the gospel. The effects of that were not normal either. As in the person I preached the gospel to reacted kind of odd... That and I somehow knew they were going to be where I was going without actually having known that they would be there. Only thing is things ended up oddly at the same time too. It was a weird situation which the end results that are not determined make me wonder if there was anything to it or not.

[@CWOWI]

Hi heroshion21, just seeing your question - tingling, warmth, good bumps, all that has been reported by people when His presence is strong...John

[@heroshion21]

Hey, thanks for the reply. It was a little bit different from what you posted, but it would make sense from the response of the gospel I had.

[@mrswalton6391]

Can you show any evidence of your teachings ? Like do you have proof of house churchs that you have ? Any healing or deliverance evidence? Thank you

[@grafxgrl8030]

Are you saying every counterfeit has a real spiritual counterpart from the Lord, vs the enemy just coming up w a new lie?

[@hannahmasri4085]

Amen

[@ebox80]

So from what I understand so far from what you're currently saying and whats written in your book, is that the currency of the power of God is something that he initiates within us? It's not something that we can just tap into? The elevation of the power of God intensifies by Jesus turning up the volume so to speak to increase the frequency?? And that is essentially what is going to happen during the rapture? Not that we are going to be caught up in the sky but we will be translated like Enoch sort of? And go from mortality to immortality? But the process of that will not just allow us to enter and be present in the spirtual dimension, but our physical beings will be elevated so much to the point whereas we will no longer be present in this plain? Except with Enoch, he was translated without death? So then God controls the whole process.

[@tcamp007]

a lot like the kundalini stuff! great interpretation. But I must ask- respectfully, in John 18 we’re the soldiers saved? Is this a phenomenon only for those that have been baptized by the spirit?

[@CWOWI]

Hi tcamp007 - good question. The soldiers were just soldiers, not believers as far as we know. Beyond that, remember that no one in the OT times, which included everyone in the gospels, was born again (until after the resurrection). That means Daniel when his strength left him and he 'became as a dead man' before Gabriel in 10: 8, 16-17, for instance, nor the guards in John 18: 5-6, nor the soldiers guarding the tomb (if perhaps some of their fainting was supernatural and not just fear) - were born again. Neither was anyone healed by Jesus - which is another discussion about the main reason God heals is to confirm the resurrection of Jesus (Acts 4: 33) or to prove His deity. Any other healing is more a benefit for a believer...like I said, another discussion. That said, John in Revelation 1: 10 states he was 'in the Spirit' meaning more aware of the Spirit realm than the natural, when he saw the Lord in glory. He says in v17 when he saw Him he 'fell at his feet like a dead man' - meaning his strength left him. I've had this happen in the Lord's presence - sometimes I refer to it as 'He had the power turned up', lol - it happens. But the short answer is that it can happen to anyone. I was in a meeting in the 1970's with Charles and Francis Hunter, who had a well known healing ministry during the wild and crazy days of the 'charismatic renewal' when so many in the denominations received the baptism with the Holy Spirit. One meeting we looked out to the sidewalk as a person passed the church, and they fell over, lost their strength - funny to see - walking along normally, then came onto church property where the Hunters were ministering, and fell over suddenly just like the people inside the church were doing - without anyone touching them - and then the person (people) would get up, look around embarrassed, and walk on their way.... When the presence of the Lord is at that place is strong enough, it overwhelms the human body - no matter if the person is born again in their spirit and/or baptized with the Spirit or not. Blessings, John

He means that the power is increasing. Yes The Holy Spirit is already in a believer. But He can increase His presence, sometimes it's from the inside, like bubbling up. And sometimes it feels like from the outside in, like He is coming closer. Sometimes it's both. He is in us but also omnipresent

This is not a Biblical teaching, just have to say. If it is, show me please.

[@pamelameela]

In John 18: 5-6 there is no proof that they were slain in the spirit because this would detract from the moral aspect of Jesus. They were in fear and trembling in their conscience and they moved back in fear and weakness and fell to the ground. They did not fall on their backs and remain stuck to the floor which is what happens in Benny Hinn's apostate teaching and others of the same ilk. I know someone who has been slain in the spirit, stuck to the floor and I saw no change in their '' walk with God''.

[@CWOWI]

Hi Zuriel, thanks for your comments; allow me some of my own. First, you miss the point why John included this in his gospel, which was to show Jesus voluntarily went to His death. At the time of writing gnosticism was rampant, which spiritualized everything, including the denying Jesus literally died. The context of the time of arrest and John being led to include this event, prove the point. Also, the Greek language proves the point, simply saying, 'When He had said to them, I AM', they were moved - not that they moved themselves out of fear, but they were by unseen force moved backwards and fell to the ground. Thirdly, you speak as one who has a) never experienced the presence of the Lord to this degree as I and countless others have through the centuries, and b) even if you dismiss this account you must account for very similar descriptions of others in scripture in the presence of the Lord - from Daniel to John in Revelation. Lastly, I feel for you. Woe to him who makes himself a judge of things of God and of others. I suspect your bias is in part for your dislike of Benny Hinn (not my cup of tea either, but I know the Lord too well to speak evil of him for he does know the Lord), and based as you stated, knowing someone have x experience yet no corresponding y change in their walk with God - which you put in parentheses, consistent with your bias. I find it amazing you connect an experience with someone you know to their growth in Christ. Do you think the guards had a positive change in their walk with God after they picked themselves up and went about their business? How about Daniel or John in The Revelation? Is it not rather the truth that experiences real or of the flesh, have little to do with one's walk with God, for it is of the heart and discipline to grow in Christ daily as we crucify the flesh, that is the true mark of one's growth? Your bias born of anger, disappointment, bad experience, scorn or whatever, prevents you from knowing the True. My prayer is the Father forgive you for your lack of love, and arrogance for sitting in judgement against at least 2 mentioned above - Hinn and the one you know whose walk with God you evidently find fault with. And last, I pray you may personally experience the presence of the Lord to the degree many have, to where your strength leaves you, and you can do nothing but fall to your knees or ground, overwhelmed by Him. It is amazing, and real. John Fenn [e-mail]

[@pamelameela]

WOW!!! I never expected such an arrogant, self-opinionated reply!! No, I haven't missed the point of John's gospel at all., It's my favourite book and I know it well. And just because I make a point in scripture does not mean that I have never experienced the presence of the Lord. I have had the greatest pleasure of a visitation from Him. Maybe not as many times as you but that's neither here nor there. And most of all I did not judge Benny Hinn and I didn't say I disliked him. I said his teaching was apostate which it is. So please get your facts right before you put them on paper.You have insinuated that I have spoken evil of the Lord. How dare you think such evil thoughts about me. Repent.The Lord told me once ''See things as they really are and don't make excuses''. So the person who was slain in the spirit was my own mother and I saw no growth. I won't go into what I know as it's not for you to know.You seem to know so much about me!!! Who gives you the right to suggest that I am biased, angry, disappointed, scorned etc?? I am none of those things. You are a false accuser of the brethren just because someone like me and another I noticed on this site, did not agree with you. I suggest you learn to humble yourself and stop your evil accusations which were totally uncalled for. I shall unsubscribe myself from your site immediately. You are spiteful, hurtful and full of yourself and I want nothing further to do with you.

[@CWOWI]

My apologies Zuriel, sorry to offend, but I know Him and know what I'm talking about - not arrogance, rightness. My words have been proven true by the fact you are 'writing me off', showing you don't have the maturity to exchange ideas without making it personal. I'm sorry for that. What we can agree on (I hope) is Jesus is Lord, and He accepts us both. Galatians 2: 9 speaks of perceiving the grace in those who have a different perspective than we might, and I was hoping you would rise to that, for I see grace in you - in zeal, in a willingness to examine what you believe and why - and that makes for a good dialogue. But not if such a person views differences as attacks, which they are not. Just dialogue. I was talking chapter and verse, the larger experience of scripture, and encouraging you to walk in love. Your action of unsubscribing has proven my very point on that which you lack - so you inadvertently confirmed all I was saying. Strengthen what you have, grow in love, don't have such thin skin, and learn to exchange ideas without becoming emotionally involved. I perceive grace in you, hope you grow in that - John

[@CWOWI]

Hi again@@pamelameela - let me be more precise as it may help you in the future. In the video I shared what scripture says, and then you wrote me telling me I was wrong, expressing your opinion. But you did so not using scripture to support your opinion, but rather observations of B. Hinn's teaching which you called apostate, and expressed further doubt by citing what turned out to be your mother's experience - you somehow for some strange reason, thought her experience would have made some difference in her walk. When you supported your accusations/opinions of Hinn, your mom's experience, and chose not to answer my examples of Daniel, the apostle John, even Paul who experienced the same falling over when overcome by the power of the Lord. You are the one who criticized me, trying to correct me - and when I responded you took it as arrogant and in a fit like a young child, said you would immediately unsubscribe, calling me apostate and such. Hope that is a summary you can think through, in the hope you will look at Daniel's losing his strength, John, Paul and people in real life through the ages to this day, and adjust your thinking on John 18: 5-6. If not, it is neither here nor there, and scripture teaches something like this does not rise to the level of breaking fellowship. I would leave you with this - the fact we have counterfeit $20 bills in circulation proves the existence of the real $20 bill. So whatever you think is fake or a show or a 'courtesy fall' with Benny Hinn and his 'apostate teaching' (your words), then that proves there is the true experience, the true falling over, overcome by the power of God. My encouragement to you is to switch your focus from being on the lookout for the counterfeit, and rather than lumping all such experiences as counterfeit, that you start looking for the real - for the Lord is moving throughout the earth, and we are to look at that which is good and pure and lovely. A good book if you are interested in 'MegaShift', by the late Jim Rutz, if you're interested - he traveled the world documenting amazing miracles happening in home based churches all over the world - from raising the dead to multiplying food and so much more. Hope you understand, and learn some things. John Fenn [e-mail]

[@pamelameela]

There you go again!! Apologising and in the same breath you accuse me of being immature and having a thin skin. Out of your mouth flows blessings and cursings....watch your mouth. As for writing you off you've missed the point. I do not associate myself with someone who is arrogant and nasty to me especially when you don't even know me. Get it???

[@Hope4myfriend]

Thanks for your teaching, but I don't understand, why you don't speak about the spiritual wickedness in high places. You talk very little on the counterfeits, and the longing of many people for spiritual experiences.

[@CWOWI]

Hi Hope4myfriend, just seeing this, thanks for writing. They say when training Treasury Agents about counterfeiting they focus their attention on the real, down to the tiniest detail. That way, by knowing the real in every way they can, the counterfeit stands out. I teach the real, just as Jesus and Paul and Peter did - not focused on the devil and the lower elements of human nature, but life, and the highest and best. Those are good examples to follow, and frankly, many Christians would rather chase after the fleshly than do what it takes to get to know the Father and Lord very, very well. So they have their own reward. Self-limiting, and the Lord will bless what He can with them, but some never grow past baby-hood. For instance, in I Corinthians 3: 3-15 Paul tells a group of them that they were spiritual babies when they should be eating meat. He says they live like they aren't even born again. Why? Because they are dividing into cliques, and have envy and strife in their hearts. But he said it was their decision - he taught the highest and best and what they could attain. As God says in Isaiah 55, His ways are not our ways nor His thoughts our thoughts, therefore forsake our ways and thoughts and come up to His ways and thoughts....that is up to us. So that's why. I teach those who want to come up higher. What they do with it is their story. John Fenn

[@Hope4myfriend]

Hi John, I prefer to follow the pattern of scripture. Scripture has always warnings and exemples of counterfeits and sinfulness at hand. I like your insight on house churches, though. But the supernatural is misleading, I' m afraid.

[@Minecat140]

No, that dos not explain this good enough. Investigate this phenomena a litle, and you wil see that this must be somthing from estern religion. It is the oposite of the fruit of The Holy Spirit self control.

[@CWOWI]

Hi Gad - On Pentecost they thought the 120 were drunk - many of us have experienced being so overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit that our bodies are such it is hard to walk, hard to stand. In Revelation 1:17 John says his strength left him before the glory of Jesus, and so it goes. John 18: 5-6 the same thing at the I AM statement. You are trying to wrap your mind around this never having experienced the presence of the Lord, or of the Father. Your issue is as you stated, believing the Holy Spirit will always have you in control. Scripture begs to differ with you. In Acts 10: 10 and 22: 17 Peter and Paul experienced trances - they were not in control. When Daniel in 8 and 10 lost all strength when the angel Gabriel came to him, he lost control. When the guards at the tomb at His resurrection became as dead men before Him, they lost control. Need I go on? Maybe adjust your theology to scripture rather than trying to make scripture fit your theology, and comfort level. Clearly you have a fear of 'losing control'. I understand that, I can relate, and I even agree with that. But that does't restrain us from acknowledging the obvious - the guards lost control when Jesus stated, I AM in John 18: 5-6. Paul lost control when he fell to the ground before the Lord and was even blinded by His glory in Acts 9, and on it goes...Hope you can grow in this, for scripture cannot be denied. John

I knew by worldly experience: Once my acquaintance being drunk started to "talk" in neighbourhood country in their language. It was extremely funny because native speakers acknowledged their language but did not understood a single phrase! He was drunk. It is similar as Kopelend talked "Italian"... Probably there is influence on our physical bodies when Holly Spirit overwhelm. However, however, however today in modern church I believe persist lot of demonic activities. Wicked preachers preach disturbed Gospel. adds some own stuff. Do gymnastics with Scriptures - eisegesis - it is so so common. [I think you are very close to that in this video, sorry] And finally persuade people follow themselves, do religion, feel various feelings, build "churches", but not knew and believe Christ! It is so widespread and you do not warn enough in this video. There is counterfeit holly spirit in our churches. Some call it kundalini. some call it spirit of baahl. Purpose of that spirit is same - to deceive and to kill. I see it my country. Those people came 25years ago. Slained in spirit a lot. Does false prophecies. Lead many to deep disappointment. Started churches with false doctrines. Fleshy. and there is lot of shipwrecked believers on them... I knew Remeber one thing - fruit of Holly spirit is self control. I short term an in long term. Yes we can experience feeleings or reactions in our body. But not beyond our control. What we see often is out of control manifestations. What we often do not see are long term aftermath. Please investigate Kundalini effects on NAR movement. In Nigeria. In Ukraine. You will find videos easy. And hypnosis. I strongly believe that many of strange things in Christendom comes from these.
