I feel in the discernment of the Holy Spirit that you are careful about your walk in and with God. That you are careful about not being deceived. That you are aware and conscious about not quenching the Spirit of God.
So what I am saying is you know that you were not deceived about the experience you had. You know you were sincere. And you know that the preacher did not physically touch you nor used deception.
According to your testimony from page 1 she reached towards you BUT NEVER TOUCHED YOU. And when she did that the Power of God's Holy Presence was so strong you fell in submission.
Now, YOU ARE FULL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD!
This means the devil couldn't make your body submit because you have the GREATER POWER inside you.
So the best thing you can do is to know that no demon could knock you down.
That means it could ONLY BE THE GENUINE POWER OF GOD.
Never forget that.

Actually, it does, in Acts 2. Peter quotes that exact passage, saying (in reference to the filling they had just experienced), "This is what was spoken by the prophet Joel." It couldn't be more clear. 
After I "fell" under the power of the Holy Spirit, I was giddy with laughter for about a half hour. No demonic thoughts, desires, inclinations or influences whatsoever.
Remember, it's usually the fault-finders who are quick to denigrate what they have not experienced and do not understand. While we should not chase manifestations, we also need not fear them. God is capable of doing things not described in Scripture; we need not attempt to limit Him just because He didn't choose to record everything He might do.

We could debate that, but we both need to read Josephus first.
Weeks before Jesus said go into all of the earth and make disciples but like saying the prophecy of Joel he can't grasp that Gentiles are included.
Just some of the things that make one think lol

go to this site and you will find close to 70 or more scriptures about being slain in the Spirit.
It’s going to take this kind,of power in,our lives in order to reach this lost and dying world. People are so miserable, hurting, sick, hungry, bound by drugs, other vices…and they need a real anointing of God in order to really be delivered. I’m praying God will give me that kind of anointing. His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.

We need to be very careful with this kind of manifestation. It could be from God. However, deceptive signs and wonders abound and it will get worse. It's a sign of the last days. (Mark 13:22, Matthew 24:24)
Before I was born again, I went to see an act put on by a hypnotist. I was fascinated by the supernatural. I wanted to be hypnotised to see what it was like, so I volunteered to be put under. For some reason, the hypnotist could not put me out. Perhaps Christians I'd met were praying for me. It was hilarious and amazing how someone could control another person.
Decades later, I discovered something known as the Toronto Blessing. I saw a video of the launch of this manifestation. I saw things that were much the same as I saw the hypnotist do. The tragedy is that the TB was embraced by much of the church, especially, but not only, Pentecostals.
Ignorance is not bliss. It is dangerous.
Could it be of God? Maybe. There are events in the Bible that are something like it. There are a number of tests you can and should use. You find them in John 16
1. Who is getting the glory? If it is not the Lord Jesus, it is not the Holy Spirit.
2. Is it truth? Does it twist God's word? For example, one so-called prophet said that the Holy Spirit is Lord, quoting 2 Corinthians 3:17. This is a complete distortion of God's word. He is still called a prophet by his church. Many blindly accept what he has to say and so deny the Saviour who bought them.
3. Is the meeting orderly? I've been to meetings that resemble a circus with a freak show rather than a meeting of the body of Christ. Paul exhorted the Corinthians, "Let everything be done decently and in order" (! Corinthians 14:40)
4. Do they talk a lot about "fire"? Fire is almost always to do with God's judgement. We need the grace of God. There is no need to seek judgement. God does not judge us, but He will judge our works.
Without being there, it is difficult for me to discern. Ask God to show you the truth about these things.

Be oh so careful. The reality is that it is the truth that sets people free. Jesus performed mighty miracles, even raising the dead. Yet after His death and resurrection, maybe a thousand followers remained. There is no easy way to spiritual maturity.
People need to be born again. That's when the life of liberty begins. They need to accept the Lordship of Christ. Every born again believer has authority over sickness and demons. The devil will flee from every believer who resists him. We all need to know who we are in Christ and who Christ is in us.
The gospel is that you can be delivered - Luke 4:18. Preach the gospel, the whole gospel, not just "go to heaven when you die". That's missing in much of Western Christianity.

yes he is revealing more and more to me about it and yes God did get the glory from it but it isn't just signs to watch out for discernemnt is key and that luckily is a gift I have there are plenty of gifts I wish I had so I couid operate in more ways to work for God but discernment is not a skill it is a gift and we all have it to some extent but for something like this discernement is vital
Amen!
This is why I know without a doubt that what you described in the first post of this thread is both authentic and of God. You came into contact with the presence of The Most High God of the Holy Bible and you know that you did. You know what happened to you is not the devil but it's 100% God. You know that what happened to you is as real as touching your face. Consider yourself blessed. Those who will never have this experience are truly not as blessed because God won't approach those who doubt and mock God.
