The theatrics should alert any true Spirit filled Christian to the charlatans who promote such nonsense.

But without them, you see, there would be no show.

I've been watching many videos of these and it's mind-boggling how people can believe in such antics which are on display before them. It's obvious people get caught up in the "show" because it's easily identified as being staged to do just that.

Also interesting is reading about those who simply fell backward on their own because they didn't want to appear the "oddball" on the stage. One guy said he simply waited till everybody started to get off the floor, and he followed suit. Same when they went down.

I laughed hard when I saw Benny throwing his jacket and people fell over for that! But the more I saw this mans videos the more apparent it becomes there's something quite sinister and evil about what he says and does....and for that I would not have a problem saying the "spirit" he claims is falling on these people is NOT the Holy Spirit of God but another which delights itself in seeing what fools he's making of these people.

Especially appalling was seeing people led around stage by these healers, 'on leashes' as they crawled on all fours, howling like crazed animals. What's worse is the audiences clapping and approval at this show of utter humiliation and debauchery!....One could easily say the audiance is worse for it's approval and cheering this on!

So no wonder the scriptures tell us of their final doom!

2 Timothy 4:1-5 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Galatians 5:22-26 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

1 Thessalonians 5:14-22 14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. 15 See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies, 21 but test everything; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.

Here are examples of the Spirit filled life, since I did not get any answers to my question of what that entails.
