My view of that kind of power is that there has to be a wider result other than the person having an experience where they cannot stand. There has to be a Gospel reason why the power of the Holy Spirit affects a person in that way.
For example, if the person is sick, and the power comes upon that person as the result of prayer, then if there is enough power to affect their ability to stand, then there would be enough power to heal them instantly. When I saw the video clip of Kenneth Copeland praying for the guy in the wheelchair and the guy falling backwards supposedly under the power of the Holy Spirit, the question is, if there was enough power to do that to the guy, why wasn't there the power to raise the guy out of the wheelchair, able to walk perfectly? It raises the question of whether the power of God was really present there or whether the guy merely overbalanced and fell out of his wheelchair.
There was an event where a woman was prayed for by Benny Hinn, and she fell supposedly under the power. Then she pointed to her husband who was in a wheelchair and asked for prayer for him. Hinn ignored her and passed by the husband in the wheelchair without even attempting to pray for him. The question is, did Benny Hinn know that in spite his speech making and promises, he knew he could not have healed that man? It seemed that he didn't want to take the risk of failure and getting egg on his face because he couldn't demonstrate what he was claiming.
In the ministry of Maria Woodworth-Etter, there were reports of unconverted people up to a mile from her tent meeting being slain in the Spirit and getting back up converted to Christ. That sounds more credible to me, than someone getting slain in the spirit every Sunday without any change in their sanctification. It is the same with Anglican and Catholic teenagers going through the Confirmation ceremony and getting hands laid on them by the Bishop, and then showing no change in the godless lifestyle they had before it.
That is the difference between the Spirit and the flesh. When people are affected by the power of the Spirit, there is a radical change in their walk with Christ and their level of sanctification and commitment to Him, and it is a one-time event causing a major transformation in them. When it is in the flesh, nothing changes, and the person has to come back each Sunday to get their experiential "fix".
