Is Being "Slain In the Spirit" Biblical?

Is being "slain in the Spirit" biblical?

Concerning being "slain in the spirit," there are no "direct" biblical references, but only some that "imply" it. I will list several of them for you:

Numbers 22:31

Ezekiel 1:28; 3:23

Matthew 28:4

John 18:6

Romans 8:17,18; 10:17

Acts 22:7

Revelation 1:17

As you look up these passages, pray and ask the Lord to confirm to your heart the truth of this. As in all things, there are some that take advantage--we've all heard of the evangelist "pushing" people over. But I am thankful that we have the Holy Spirit that witnesses to our spirit the truth of God. So if you are ever in a situation where someone is "slain in the spirit," just ask the Lord to witness to your spirit if this was really from God or not. He will.

"Brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,
by a new and living way, which He consecrated for us..."
Hebrews 10:19-20
