i felt the spirit filling me one sunday morning and felt weak in the knees, but i kept my legs straight and wouldnt let myself fall. there was also a time when i felt like something was in my throat working its way out...like maybe it was words, but i kept it in just in case it was something physical like...how can i put it...vomit. Can anyone help remove the physical or mental restraints i have on this issue?

Let me start out by saying that I am not a religious man, more spiritual than anything. So I'll make this as unbiased as i possibly can. When you feel the love of God encompass your body and your knees are filled with the sensation of possibly buckling under you, immediately find a place to sit even if it is on the floor you must sit down to avoid injury to yourself. The most important think to remember aside from being in a safe position is to respect other people's space and not speak in tongues at the top of your voice. Instead, if within a group of people, invite them to pray with you. And advise them that you are filled with the spirit and feel as though the gift of tongues is being bestowed upon you at that time. However if your by yourself SHOUT IT OUT BABY! There will be people on this site that will make fun of you for feeling the way you do about God. I'm happy that your in a time in your life where you feel good about something.

God will not filled you with His Spirit if you're not ready. You should be thankful when God touches you because not other people get to experience goldly experiences like this. Let it happen or it won't happen again because if you push the Holy Spirit away, He gently widraws Himself from you. The Holy Spirit doesn't bring fear but peace and He doesn't make people vomit but speak in tongues of angels. I say let it be.

Life in the Holy Spirit is like babies. Sometimes they upchuck on you, and all the other things they do; good and bad. The bad is basically just being human. To learn how to yield to God is the beginning of moving in God and learning more of His ways. He is a perfect gentleman and won't force Himself on you. Having any kind of message or anything from God is scary to the flesh, so we try to maintain cool. So you can be too cool and not yield to God. The way to learn is by making mistakes sometimes. And we all make mistakes. I have a safe environment (house church) to learn in and we all attend celebration services together, where moving so openly has to be maybe after the church service. Where it can be done and not interrupt the flow of the service. Not always though.

In the Bible, the Holy Spirit is also called the Great Comforter. If you are feeling uncomfortable, perhaps you are experiencing something else. Jesus can help you remove those restraints, but that is something you should discuss with Him.

You are experiencing a spiritual connection. It is difficult to comprehend, but if you feel this again let your body relax and go with the flow. Deep breathe and allow yourself to open to the experience. Relax.

You need to let the Holy Spirit have its way. It is a sin to quench the Holy Spirit. Pray that God will give you strength to receive the Gifts of The Spirit. Just let it flow. Fear is not of God.

Excercise daily. The Holy Spirit prefers to inhabit fit bodies.
Take me, for instance. When I was fat, I RARELY received visits from the Holy Spirit - only brief encounters followed by burping if I had eaten too much fast food (probably the vomiting sensation you're experiencing)
However, when I lost 129 lbs, the Holy Spirit visited regularly. We became good friends. Long talks, visits, warm cups of tea (HS takes his with a half teaspoon of sugar) and extended walks down the pier.
Seriously though. I'm not sure what either of us are talking about.
My advice. Get a grip.

How do you know it was the Holy Spirit?
"...For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light." (2 Corinthians 11:14)
How do you know it wasn't Satan (disguised as an angel of light) or something else?

the holy sirit is dealing with you and its nothing to be afraid of sweetie. fear is not of god but of the devil. it sounds like to me maybe you are under conviction. are you a christian? if not ask jesus to come into your heart and be your lord and saviour of your life. if you are then great. but EITHER way pray to god to give you the peace and understanding of the spirit. god bless you
