I don't really think It had as much to do with me as it did for others. I've been behind the breastplate of the Lord since way before that. I didn't start realizing that until I was in my mid thirties. I seem to be able to remember a lot more about the past than any of my friends or family. It really sucks sometimes too. Some things I would just as soon forget. I wish I had all the answers as to why I have been who I have been. But I live by faith an faith alone now days. so I won't concern myself with it to much. God will provide for all of my needs as he sees fit. He will give me the use of his gifts when I need them and not when I don't. Understand that the only need I have anymore is to see the betterment of Gods creation and his kingdom. All else is secondary. His love for me and others is so overwhelming I cannot ever explain it in a thousand lifetimes. I have felt as though the very gates of hell itself were opening up to suck me in. And then, less than a second later be at complete peace. If this sounds a little weird to you good, cause it damn sure does to me too. But it is the best description I can write. There is so much more than these little piles of bones we call our bodies, and yet it is these bodies which house our very souls for a while. I think it is some type of transitional thing in which a filtering of evil takes place. We just gotta keep the water (Holy spirit)back flushing through the filter long enough for it to clean the crap out of the filter. Goofy thought, don't have a clue where that popped in from. Oh well. Back again, love you all, see ya

HalleluYah! I can see that you have been enlightened. I pray that you continue to be a light in the darkness that so many are in and may the Holy Spirit use you beyond your imagination.

Well if you believe that Paul was taken up in the "heat of the Spirit" to see heaven & the future directly from the Lord...then YES! There is such a thing...it still goes on...even today.
If you believe that it's Jesus who RAISES us above the circumstances...that meaning in our spirit, then YES! There is such a thing.
These things can only be experienced in the spirit. Just as Elisha said to his servant..."look again! There are more of us than there are of them."
YES! YES! YES!

thanks for the insight QS,this has made me think of one of my all time favorites!

The LORD Is My Shepherd
23The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green [1] pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest [2] my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. [3]

There are many nuances to being slain in the spirit...I had the experience only once...I was home along singing praise music & my spirit lifted out of my body as I was reaching UP to God...I was sitting on the arm of my sofa & my body fell right on the floor. It brought me right out of whatever happened.
I have since experienced being lifted out of troubling circimstances in my spirit....and sensed being "carried" by God.
My best expereinces were ones that were a surprize to me... I don't go for being pushed down but I don't think people do it deliberately. It could be the "wind" of the spirit doing things we are not aware of.
Sometimes things happen that make me say HUH? But something always happens later that makes me know that whatever it was, worked. Almost like God sneaking up on me. Sometimes it's the only way it works for me. We all have preconceived notions about God that hinder the supernatural manifestations.

 Your goofy thought makes sense; I never would of thought of it that way, but makes sense. (And makes me smile.)
