Why The Jesus High Go Bye-Bye?

        So many of us have a friend or a person we have witnessed in our life experience a radical change through Jesus. They were broken before and suddenly they try this whole Jesus thing-and they're not even the same person-the change is that radical. They are experiencing Jesus for the very first time and by just being around them-you can tell that the Holy Spirit is working through them and they have caught some crazy fire (1 Corinthians 5:17). They have caught the spirit (the sickness), and Jesus is living inside of them, and they are clearly showing the symptoms of it (Ex's: strong differences in behavior/language/interaction). Most of us have experienced this high off the Holy Spirit and often wonder where and why it went so quickly.

       After a few months of being a new radical believer and seeing some awesome change, most Christians claim that the high is gone and wonder where it went. This is what happens. Soon we settle down as believers, we get caught up in the busyness of life and get distracted by other things, and start pursuing other stuff to take the place of Jesus, without even knowing it. The equation has now become Jesus + Something = Joy/Everything. From what it used to be (Jesus + Nothing = Joy/Everything) We think that if we can just continue with this one sin, we'll still seek Jesus and everything will be fine. The truth is, sin and the desire to sin grows, especially faster when you encourage it. When are you going to realize that sinning is only worsening the situation. When are you going to decide to stop going back to this sin? When are you going to start putting your full faith in Jesus and trusting Him for your healing? It's time. Today's the day. People lose the symptoms (this high) because we aren't solely seeking Jesus as our source. This is why we get the high at church camps. We are placed in a confined area while sort of being strongly encouraged to worship Jesus and experience Him without any distractions from everyday life. If you don't have the symptoms, do you really have the sickness?

        Without a doubt, I have learned that Jesus + Nothing = Everything. The Holy Spirit high can continue, but only if you solely seek Jesus. The effects of Jesus-alone-seeking life are revolutionary; He has the power to save people by the thousands. We need the Christians that still believe if you walk by somebody with your shadow on them, then they'll be saved. If you don't have the symptoms, do you really sickness?
