It is amazing what people do to have a good feeling. Substance abuse unfortunately is the first choice of many. It is a huge problem stalking many people trying to achieve some kind of high. This issue plagues many with empty results.
There is a solution to everyone’s need to be built up and feel good about themselves. It is a God solution. The Heavenly Father has provided to everyone born again something that supplies the ultimate in feel good results. It involves the gift of holy spirit that a person receives when they confessed Romans 10:9: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” To be saved is to be rescued from eternal death and filled with the eternal life spirit.
How can this new birth gift of holy spirit provide me a feel good high? There are too many ways this occurs. But let’s look at a few that really make a deep impression.
1. You would feel good if someone saved you from drowning right!? Well, how about being saved from eternal death to eternal life. Even better, yes!? (Romans 6:23: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord).
2. Wouldn’t you feel good if you had access to the Creator of the Universe? You would be able to talk with Him and hear from Him. Utilizing the new birth spirit by speaking in tongues puts you in audience with God Almighty (I Cor. 14:2a: For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: …).
3. You are edified when you speak in tongues by the spirit of God (I Cor.14:4a: He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself).
What makes all the difference in the world is the gift of holy spirit living within a person. The feel good high is recognizing this spirit in you and using it. Speaking in tongues is what God has designed for every believer to use so they would feel good about connecting with the Heavenly Father; so they would feel good being assured of their new birth; so they would feel good about who they are in Christ.
There is a wonderful song by Larry Shicks called, “Holy Spirit High.” Some of the words declare the feel good high of holy spirit. “They got power, intercession, speaking mysteries, got excited, cause they got the best.” It goes on declaring, “Speak in tongues, praying in the spirit, it keeps me edified; I call it holy spirit high.”
God has the answer to the need to feel high. It is the gift of holy spirit being manifested in your life by operating the manifestation of speaking in tongues. This is so much better that any drug or other substances.
Speak in tongues much, that is the solution!
