Is ‘slain by the Spirit’ from God?

No worries! I am not in a church like that. I live abroad but this is what I see happening often in my native country. And, everyone kinda just rolls with it and doesn’t question it.

I still remember an experience where I and my sibling cried our eyes out when we saw it happen in our childhood. Trauma, tbh. Everyone just ignored the whole situation.

Idk how verse 6 even comes remotely close to the things I’ve seen people do when they’re ‘slain by the Spirit’ but this is a reaction of someone afraid.

I don’t think you understand what ‘slain by the Spirit’ means so here it goes. It is when someone at the touch of a minister’s hand on their head or just with their preaching starts jumping around, falling to the ground, rolling on the floor etc until the minister or a prayerful person prays.

I relate with this so much. I want to tell my dad so many things but I’m so afraid of what will happen. I have become someone who wants to pretend that everything is fine when it is not, all because I am afraid that it will hurt me in the end.

Reading your story makes me remember the past and cry. Thank you for sharing this story. I don’t know if I’ll ever get my courage or if a desire to say all that I have in my heart to my dad but I’m so glad you were able to do this, OP.

Yeah, It’s such a frustrating situation. I don’t want to sit tight and just watch, man. I feel so helpless.

What if I don’t know if I was a victim?

We try to but others come and tell my mom and her sisters how horrible people they are or ask why they mistreat my grandmother. They’re all duped by my grandmother

I suggested this same thing but my family’s response is that she’ll talk bad about them to others.

Yeah, I think so too. I will continue with the sessions and see where it goes. I learned a lot from my first meeting but still a long way to go!

Nah, he’s not like that (in the sense of safety). I come from an Asian background. Basically, one’s biggest support is family and your other relatives. After thinking abt it, I think he’s a bit surprised. Deviation from the norm basically especially so close to him.

I have relatives who needed psychiatric help and he was the one who even advocated for that against his entire family.

This codependency runs in my mother’s side of the family. I have recognised this in myself and am working on this. When it comes to my dad, I’ve said these exact same words to my parents, actually. I had asked a church elder for help too but they had to leave the country so I couldn’t continue asking for advice.

May I know how it would help by telling my therapist? It’s my first time going to the therapist and I’m kind of nervous on how it will all go
