Question:
Why does the body feel weak when the Holy Spirit moves in a place (especially in an altar call)?
Answer:
Here is what the Bible says happens when the Holy Spirit is moving: “And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness” (Acts 4:31). “When they heard these things [spoken by Stephen], they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said, Behold I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God” (Acts 7:54-56). These are portraits of strength, not of weakness. The behavior or reaction of being “slain in the spirit” to which this question may be referring is nowhere described in Scripture.
