Overwhelmed by God!

I've been a Christian most of my life, and I've been to tonnes of events where the Holy Spirit has been moving and people have fallen to the floor, or burst into laughter, or spoken in tongues etc. As much I have seen that many times, I've never been 'floored' by God before. I've have deep encounters with God, and I've spoken and sung in tongues, but I've never had anything physical happen to me.

This Thursday (10th July) I was at our outpouring meeting and was playing in the worship team. At the end, the leader felt that the Holy spirit was moving in a new powerful way, and that it was almost going to be violent. I put down my guitar and went out into the congregation where people were been prayed for. Someone came and prayed for me and I can only describe what happened as like being hit by a bus! One second I was standing there, the next second I had hit the deck like a tonne of bricks. I didn't have any say in the matter - God just knocked me flat.

I felt a power on me that was so heavy, I could barely move - even when I was on the floor!
As I say, I've seen all this stuff before loads of times, but it's never happened to me. At times I got slightly cynical of it, and wondered why people collapsed to the floor. That night, having been whalloped by an immense power that literally knocked me off my feet, I have no doubt that God's spirit moves in that way. I'm still buzzing now!
