"So he, trembling and astonished, said, 'Lord, what do You want me to do?' Then the Lord said to him, 'Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.' "
Acts 9:6
The presence of Jesus caused Saul to fall to the ground (vs. 4) and tremble (vs. 6). The phenomenon of being "slain in the Spirit" causes much derision by the skeptics. I only recall one time of this happening to me personally. It was during a revival service at Lowell, Oregon, when the evangelist called me forward for prayer. I determined in my heart that I was not going to fall. The next thing I knew, I was laying on the floor. People respond to God's presence in various ways, and some may be just show. But I don't discount the reality because some is false. I don't know the full purpose of the experience, but God got my attention, and I got a different perspective. The awareness of God's presence will bring a person into submission: "Lord, what do you want me to do?"
Today's Thought: People respond to the presence and revelation of Jesus in various ways.
Have a God-awareness day. Love you.
