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.
