Matt, don't tell people about Idaho...it's a secret!!!

Saint-Petersburg, Russia! ;-)

So dangerously not Biblical: regarding slain in the spirit stuff.

@@devonp2756 What is you problem guys you guys problem with anyone who speaks of the spirit 😫😫 like any one you guys are missing the message looking at a single sentence and making others miss it also

Should be a link to their website below this video! :)

www.thevillagechurch.net/my-profile/my-giving/give-now I love this church and Pastor Matt! I am from another state, but have had the privilege of visiting in person twice, and the folks there are legit - as is Matt!

I think it's for safety. If someone comes in with a gun, he's the only one who is in position to see the shooter.

There is nothing in scripture that says you have to close your eyes when praying. I do it all the time, and since I worked at a summer camp that served kids from the inner cities, we were told to pray with our eyes open, keep our eyes open when we are praying, because anything could pop off and we had to be ready at any moment.

Where in the message did he mention Slain in the spirit? Time stamp please.

@@GregOrangeDoor Thanks! I was hoping you were wrong about him mentioning it. This is unfortunately sad.

Devon P yea me too. May God Bless your day brother.

Warrior Bride but which spirit are you being slain? In the Bible, Paul describes in Galatians 5 the fruits of the Holy Spirit- Peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control. Is that how you would describe being slain in the spirit?

He had brain surgery and had a piece of his brain removed.

Yeah. It's sad. The charismatic destruction is coming to a church near you. Brought to you by your worship leader via Jesus Culture and Hillsong.

I love matt chandler so much but I disagree with his calvinistic interpretations and I think he is also being influenced by these other movements going on too. I heard a sermon where he was saying how a random stranger blew in his face as a sign of some kind of holy spirit anointing and he felt like it was kinda weird but also felt renewed in the spirit after it happened so he accepts it as being legit. The mix of calvinism and nar are the two major heresies right now and he seems to be influenced by both

Oh my goodness, how to miss the heart of the message.

Thank you both for the feedback. I’m just wary of the practice because falling backwards after someone lays hands on you isn’t found in the Bible. Maybe I’m wrong, idk. I typically don’t look, nor yearn for “spiritual” experiences

@@DominickRT44 I just typed this message for the comment right above yours but consider this: We use certain words that are not in the bible constantly like Trinity, Free Will, Providence of God. To loosely reference John Piper regarding the word Providence, we often use words as a basis to describe the actions of YHWH in his word. I think people need to consider the context of what he means; it's also important to consider the bible was written in Hebrew, Aramaic & Greek, don't you think we are using certain words that don't perfectly translate well from those languages into English? Another thing that I think is a bit hypocritical is that some people who will chew him out for using the phrase "Slain in the Spirit" are probably ok with celebrating Halloween totally dismissing its evil Pagan roots & the symbolisms that we've made cute over the centuries, but yet they'll tell people not to be so "religious" & to lighten up... Or to "reclaim" the holiday as an opportunity to minister unto people. So we can use the "nonbiblical" words such as Trinity & Providence & we can "reclaim" Halloween for the "Lord's purposes" but we can't reclaim "slain"?
