Getting high

So i'm feeling really full in the Spirit right now, (well i was feeling that way when i first started writing this up) and thought I should take some time and explain why. Have you ever wondered why we sometimes stop ourselves from doing things out of our comfort zones. I've noticed that when I'm away from home this doesn't really apply. Or i find myself doing more things where if at home i prob wouldn't. and these aren't necessarily bad things more along the lines of being more outgoing in general; ha even with the ladies cause you know you're prob not gonna see that person again.

yeup its kinda random but i started thinking these things cause I've been listening to these sermons on encountering Jesus by Mike Bickle. He's basically telling how IHOP aka the international house of Prayer came to be. I'm certainly not doing the account justice its best to just hear for yourself. (You can download em on the website if you wish @ ihop.org)

Anyway let me finish have you ever thought why you cant keep that level of iunno adventure/confidence up. r i g h t ima try to get out of my comfort zone more often cause i think more opportunites present themselves. For example on my way home from Illinois they(the flight peoples) were asking if anyone was willing to take a later flight, and the catch was just that it was a later flight but they were offering a ticket anywhere in the US that was good for a year.
No i didn't take it which i am kicking myself now cause i coulda used it to go to an IHOP conference. sry huge tangent.

But yea opportunities are presented way more often out of your comfort zone than within it
Quickly going back to the beginning, Emotionally iunno its just weird cause I want to stay at these high levels but i guess its necessary to come off your Jesus drug cause it allows us to experience want and drive, you know something to strive for, an effort for a relationship to work. i guess a relationship with Jesus is not going to be all ice cream than. interesting no?
