A few Scriptural examples of the Spirit of Yah coming upon people.
Luke 2:25 "Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him."
Numbers 24:2 "When Balaam looked out and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came upon him"
Judges 3:10 "The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, so that he became Israel's judge and went to war. The LORD gave Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram into
the hands of Othniel, who overpowered him."
Judges 6:34 "Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet, summoning the Abiezrites to follow him."

It always happens when I least expect it. -(I mean besides worship)
Usually out of the blue. As for feeling that isn't as important as recognition. Feelings come and go, recognizing His work is the key. The greatest is little happenings that show he is answering a prayer which is totally different and larger.

A better view is that we are ever in the presence of God - no place are we not - the question is are we looking with eyes to see, and ears to hear?
Have we muted the Holy Spirit that indwells all believers - quenching and silencing Him?
Are we taking time to give thanks, and pause and believe that our prayers are in direct access to the Father as if we had His very ear to ourselves.
God's Spirit will witness to your spirit that you are His, that's a promise
God's Spirit will point out things in your life that need changing, fixing, things to be made right etc - promised
God does not hide. He is always there. When you are facing great trial, it wont fix it's self overnight. He will test you and let you go through some of it, not as punishment, but build you, your faith. If you truly walk with Christ, you will see His wonders. Occasionally, He will let you hand go so you can get stronger, but He will not waiver, nor should you. Ask Him for guidance, ask for the Holy Spirit to dwell in you. If you are truly with Him, I promise you'll feel His presence. Hands down!!!
No one has mentioned this yet, but I think the Lord has planned for us to feel His presence through each other as "the Body of Christ". And, indeed, I usually feel His presence through words, touches, hugs, gifts, comforts coming from the people who are in my life.
The other way which is just as strong is when I'm reading the Bible. It is like He is in every word.

The first time God made Himself known to me was last October. I don't know how I knew, I just knew. I felt an overwhelming happiness, fire burning deep inside me, electricity going through my body, pure love an safety and knowledge, that God is real. All the emotions I was feeling was intensified x100. I also felt holiness in the room. His presence was definitely intense, nothing that I've ever experienced before.
