Hysterical Behavior

In themselves they are not particularly important. But let there be no mistake about why I focus on them. They indicate more a phase of the battle than of the spiritual state of those to whom they occur. To want to tremble or to be slain in the spirit is a mistake, indeed it can be dangerous. But if they are truly (in some cases at least) manifestations of the Spirit of God that occur during many revivals, then their appearance now may have a much greater significance.
