When and Why People Fall Under Power

“They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.  (5) As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.”  (John 18:5-6¹ KJV)

Having studied the manifestations of falling under power in our previous study; we want to understand why and when do people fall under power?

The scriptures is littered with many instances that people fell under power, but we want to examine a few.

People fall at the manifest presence of the Holy Spirit.

There are instances in the scriptures when people fell under power as the Holy Spirit manifested. When they fell under power, we had no doubt that the power of God is alive in them and on them.

Ministers fell under power when the glory of God came down upon His people.

In 2 Chronicles 5:13-14², we learn that when the priest ministered, the glory of God filled the house and they could not stand to minister. The presence of the glory of God brings the manifestations of falling under power. May this moment begin this kind of manifestation in your life. Right now as you read this text receive a touch of glory.

People fall under power at the voice of a powerful spiritual personality:

In Daniel 8: 17, we learn that when the prophet Daniel heard the voice of the angel, he was afraid and fell on his face. The voice that speaks from heaven can make you fall under power.

People fall under power when there is an angelic presence:

We may fall under power because of the presence of an angel or a supernatural being. (See Ezekiel 1:28³; Revelation 1:17⁴)

You will experience the manifestations of falling under power. You will know the reality of the Spirit and you will never doubt any more.

Stay blessed, I love you!
