Filled With The Holy Spirit

And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also make alive your mortal bodies through his Spirit who lives in you.

when the Spirit comes in all of Him comes in,

just like when someone comes into a room. all of that person comes in.

this song is asking for something we already have

song Send it on down

by Reggie Smith

Send it on down, send it on down. Lord, let the Holy Ghost come on down. Send it on down, send it on down. Lord, let the Holy Ghost come on down.

Lord, we're Your children, And we are asking For You to send down the fire. Our hearts are hungry, our spirits are thirsty. We need to feel You power.

Heavenly Father, hear our call: Let Your Holy Spirit fall. Send down the power, let it fall like rain, As we lift our praises to your name! Send it on down, send it on down. Lord, let the Holy Ghost come on down. Send it on down, send it on down. Lord, let the Holy Ghost come on down. Lord, let the Holy Ghost come on down. Lord, let the Holy Ghost come on, come on down

they are asking for someone to come into a room who is already there

This song is treating the Holy Spirit like a supernatural power/ a force

Fake Filled

in Hinduism there is a manifestation called the Kundilini spirit

what happens is under the power of the Kundilini demon

people at these Hindu gatherings will pass out, be drunk,

make animal actions and sounds, speak in gibberish

uncontrollable laughter

Joseph Smith Mormon spoke in tongues, and was passed out in the spirit

He was considered a prophet

this same manifestations have come into the charismatic movement

but instead of the kundalini spirit/ demon causing this

they call it being filled with the spirit or Holy Spirit power

Drunk in the spirit

toking the spirit

slain in the spirit

by Costi Hinn nephew of Benny Hinn

bereanresearch.org/mythbusters-slain-spirit/

So what exactly does someone mean when they say, “I got slain in the spirit!”? This phrase describes what many believe to be a touch from God that sends them falling to the ground – literally. Those who ardently defend this practice claim that it’s God’s manifest presence in a service that causes people to fall over. According to them, God’s power is usually “imparted” to people by a pastor who lays his hands on them, blows his breath on them, waves his hand, waves his jacket, or shouts a phrase like, “Fire!” or “Touch!” These gestures cause people to go flying in all directions. Sometimes it even occurs when a certain song is sung by the worship band, or because people are overcome with emotion during a portion of the service. Often times those being slain in the spirit will manifest on the ground by making animal sounds, crawling, slithering, shaking, convulsing, weeping, laughing, and experiencing trance-like euphoria. Some say they feel electricity when the pastor touches them, others feel warmth, while others are not able to stand under their own strength for hours afterwards. All of this is believed to be the work of the Holy Spirit as He refreshes and renews spiritually empty and broken people. With over 500 million charismatics, and 1.5 billion Hindus (Kundalini Awakening) practicing slaying people in the spirit, it is no exaggeration to state that at least 2/7 of the entire world has beliefs tied to falling or shaking under the power of some sort of spirit. This is not fringe behavior. This is now mainstream spiritualism and considered highly normative – it’s everywhere.

WHAT DO ‘SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT’ ENTHUSIASTS CLAIM?

First, there are a number of varying claims depending on what charismatic group is explaining them. That in itself proves how much confusion there is surrounding the practice.

Here are several key claims:

Slain in the spirit experiences are the result of the manifest presence of God the Father.

Jesus is the one doing the slaying.

The Holy Spirit is a force that cannot be stopped. When He touches people they fall

People who are “empty” need to be slain in the spirit to get filled with the Spirit.

When God touches human flesh, something will happen.When heaven touches earth, things shake.

The power of God is overwhelming. When it shows up, people fall.

remember the song earlier

by Reggie Smith

Send it on down, send it on down. Lord, let the Holy Ghost come on down. Send it on down, send it on down. Lord, let the Holy Ghost come on down.

Lord, we're Your children, And we are asking For You to send down the fire. Our hearts are hungry, our spirits are thirsty. We need to feel You power.

lets look at another scripture about being controlled by the Spirit

Let The Word Of Christ Dwell In You

Meditating on God’s word

Applying God’s word to our lives

Colossians 3:16 LEB

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another with all wisdom, with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God,

Here we have the same signs of one filled with the Spirit

Singing songs one to another

thankfulness

Someone who dwells on Gods word will do these things

Someone who dwells on Gods word will be controlled by the Holy Spirit

Colossians 3:18–23 LEB

Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing in the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they will not become discouraged. Slaves, obey your human masters in everything, not while being watched, as people pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, accomplish it from the soul, as to the Lord, and not to people,

Ephesians 5:18 LEB

And do not be drunk with wine (in which is dissipation), but be filled by the Spirit,

Colossians 3:16 LEB

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another with all wisdom, with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God,

How close are we to Christ, and His Word

When Peter was looking a Jesus he could walk on water

when Peter was close to Jesus he was going to single handedly fight a whole army

Away he was intimidated by a little girl

when he was full of the spirit(allowed the Spirit full control of his life) he was unstoppable
