I have come across this interesting article in our local news about a guy in Tennesse who is suing his Church because he was slain in the spirit and hit his head, causing injuries. Take a read...

Man Sues Church Over 'God Injury'
Man Prayed For 'Real Experience,' Not Medical Bills
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- A man said he was so consumed by the spirit of God that he fell and hit his head while at a Knoxville church.
Now he wants Lakewind Church to pay $2.5 million for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering he said he's endured from his injuries.
Matt Lincoln, 57, says he decided to sue the church after its insurance company denied his claim for medical bills.
Lincoln has had two surgeries since the June 2007 incident but said he still feels pain in his back and his legs.
The Sevier County man said he was asking God to have "a real experience" while praying at church.
He said he has fallen from the force of the spirit before but has always been caught by someone.
Lawyers for the church said other congregants saw him on the floor laughing after his fall. They said he failed to look out for his own safety.

Is there any wonder that we need to have "catchers" in the Church today? I know that I have seen people fall over in the spirit, hit their heads terribly hard on the pews, and walls, etc. and NEVER even know it happened to them. Which only causes me to question this man's experience; and acknowledge that we need a TRUE move of God's spirit once again.
