Objection: People Falling Down in Meetings Is a Clear Sign of DEMON POWER at Work

Do you believe that demons were responsible when the Roman soldiers fell backward to the ground when Jesus announced “I AM?”

Do you believe that demon power was at work when the disciples fell on their faces on the Mount of Transfiguration?

Was it the work of demons that caused the guards at Jesus’ tomb to fall over and be like dead men?

Did demons make Paul fall to the earth when he had a personal encounter with the resurrected Jesus on the road to Damascus?

Did evil spirits cause John to fall before Jesus in the book of Revelation?

Was it the work of evil spirits when Ezekiel and Daniel fell over?

If you would say “no” (and I hope you would) to every question above, you cannot maintain that falling over is a “clear” sign of demon power.  The fact that people might fall over at demonic rituals does not mean that demons are the ones knocking believers over in Christian gatherings.  Warlocks and witches shop at grocery stores.  Is it a clear sign of demon activity if a believer shops at a grocery store because that is what warlocks and witches do?

I think I’ve demonstrated amply from Scripture above that falling over is NOT necessarily demonic.  But if that’s not enough to convince you, you can read Why Do People Fall Over in Healing Lines? for even more thoughts and examples along these lines, along with a lot of specific Scriptures.
