The Word of God most certainly does
reveal in scriptures how a believer has
both the authority and experiences that
matches our phrase, 'slain-in-the-spirit.'
It is the desire of the LORD to exalt the
'horn of His anointed' by raising up His
standard in His chosen ones. It is this
anointing in the Spirit that we can receive
the heavenly witness from above.
Hebrews 1:9
Thou hast loved righteousness, and
hated iniquity; therefore God, even
thy God, hath anointed thee with
the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Ok, now, let's connect the ministry of the
Spirit to provide His anointing with the
power to 'overcome' by our faith.
Please turn to the English word, 'overcome'
for a moment. It is found in 8 lexicon words
for KJV of which 5 are from OT and 3 are
from NT. I've picked one OT and one NT.
1) OT: Strong's H7292 - rahab = make sure,
behave boisterously, overcome, strengthen
Psalm 138:3
In the day when I cried
thou answeredst me, and
strengthenedst [H7292]
me with strength in my
soul.
This is David's cry in the wilderness when
all his adversaries sought to destroy him.
2) NT: Strong's G3528 - nikao = conquer,
prevail, get the victory, overcome, carry
off the victory, victorious over all foes, to
win the case, to maintain one's cause
1st John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have
overcome [G3528] them: because greater
is he that is in you, than he that is in
the world.
1st John 5:4
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh
[G3528] the world: and this is the victory
[G3528] that overcometh [G3528] the world,
even our faith.
The 'slain-in-the-spirit' is the manifestation
of His holy witness that a child of His has
cried out for strength and sought the victory
in Jesus Christ. We all recognize that it is
only from Him who sits on the throne, next
to the right hand of God, who is the provider
of this unique overcoming anointing.
Revelation 3:5
He that overcometh [G3528], the same
shall be clothed in white raiment; and
I will not blot out his name out of the
book of life, but I will confess his name
before my Father, and before his angels.
Revelation 3:12
Him that overcometh [G3528] will I make
a pillar in the temple of my God, and he
shall go no more out; and I will write upon
him the name of my God, and the name of
the city of my God which is new Jerusalem,
which cometh down out of heaven from my
God: and I will write upon him my new
name.
Who among us has received from Him this
anointing that abides in their soul? It is a
witness that teaches of all things and is the
truth and is not a lie.
1st John 2:27
But the anointing which ye have received
of him abideth in you, and ye need not that
any man teach you: but as the same anointing
teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and
is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye
shall abide in him.
Would that all Christians were filled, anointed
and blessed with His overcoming victory! May
you discover your oil-of-gladness as strength
that's coming down from above, integrated and
connected together to pour forth overflowing
into your soul.

Wise (vs) Foolish Building Foundations
There are 47 verses in the KJV concordance that have
both words of 'wise' and 'fool*' listed together in them.
However, there is just one parable that Jesus provided
where He compared and contrasted the differences
between those people who followed His words and
those people who did not follow His words.
The external forces were identical between the Wise Man
and the Foolish Man. The only difference between the two
was how they either followed or did not follow His words.
Obeying the words of Jesus creates a firm foundation.
Disregarding the words of Jesus creates variable foundation.
Jesus first spoke about the Wise Man who heard and obeyed:
Matthew 7:25 KJV
And the rain descended, and the floods came,
and the winds blew, and beat upon that house;
and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Jesus then spoke about the Foolish Man who heard but
then built his house on sand.
Matthew 7:27 KJV
And the rain descended, and the floods came,
and the winds blew, and beat upon that house;
and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Sand symbolically represents the Nations or the Peoples
of the world. Sand has not permanent cement that makes
it structurally sound. It remains separate, individual grains
that associate together and can be shaped by pressures which
hold it temporarily in place as long as there is no force acting
on it. Sand will easily crumble and break down into its
component pieces whenever forces are acting against it.
The cross of Christ is a dividing line marking out those
who hear and follow versus those who hear and don't follow.
The line drawn is not in the Sand of the Nations, but in the
hearts and minds of those who are obedient to His words.
+++++
The rain and flood used by Jesus reminded me of the deluge
of the Flood from Noah's day. There were 8 souls saved
due to the righteousness of Father Noah. Noah obeyed
and he had the firm foundation to weather the storms of
His generation. The 'great fall' that Jesus spoke about was
the wrath of God upon the Nations (ie, Sand-People)
exactly like Noah's generation. Sand-People always turn
to their peers for connections instead of obeying the Word.

Pre-Determined Rejection Via Mocking
Christ was mocked throughout the painful process
of offering Himself up as a Sacrificial Lamb of God.
Matthew 27:29, 31, 41
And when they had platted a crown of thorns
they put [it] upon his head, and a reed in his
right hand: and they bowed the knee before
him, and mocked him, saying, 'Hail , King
of the Jews!' [v31] And after that they had
mocked him, they took the robe off from him
and put his own raiment on him, and led him
away to crucify [him]. [v41] Likewise also the
chief priests mocking [him], with the scribes
and elders said ....
Wickedness will toss aside, in an orderly systematic
process, to make light of it so as to arrange for social
mocking, outright rejection with a complete disregard
for the substance of things not-seen.
Those who set their carnal mind on things on earthly
matters will concentrate all of their own reveling to
promote themselves all the while rejecting and reviling
any hint of heavenly authority. Those who trample
upon heavenly wisdom will mock and scoff against it.
Jude 1:8 NIV
In the very same way, on the strength of
their dreams these ungodly people pollute
their own bodies, reject authority and
heap abuse on celestial beings.
In the OT, there are two action verbs that combine:
Arak (+) Calah = H6186 + H5541
These two action verbs combine as a message:
"To arrange an evaluation not to be valued."
"Ordained to be rejected"
"Arrangements to be tossed aside"
"Set in an orderly place to become weighed down"
This suggests a forethought for a planned dismissal.
This rejection was decided upon before any evaluation
was made. This type of trampling down under foot was
pre-meditated. No matter how good, how righteous, how
eager to humble one's heart, the verdict was previously
already decided upon. The ruling class has already made
up its mind in the matter.
This hostile mindset is expressed as mocking or scoffing.
It is received as reproaches.
Suffering Reproaches
Psalm 69:20
Reproach hath broken my heart;
and I am full of heaviness: and
I looked [for some] to take pity
but [there was] none; and for
comforters, but I found none.
Psalm 71:13
Let them be confounded [and]
consumed that are adversaries
to my soul; let them be covered
[with] reproach and dishonour
that seek my hurt.
Psalm 74:22
Arise, O God, plead thine own
cause: remember how the foolish
man reproacheth thee daily.
