Open to all believers: What does it feel like when you're addicted to God?

Question

I only got the idea when some Christians put a big slogan "Get high on God, get away from drugs"

Answer 1

you think about him all the time , you study, do research, try to find out everything you can, listen to ministers that preach the Gospel, like, John Hege, Creflo Dollar,Joyce Meyers, TD Jakes, Billy Graham, Benita Binum, Kennith and Gloria Copland, I can't think of all their names. I have a web group for anyone that wants to join on Bible study, with different web sites i add that are very helpful with lots of great learning information...join if you wish
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/understandingthebible/
I'm daily on here looking for information and new sites, I also go on yahoo answers and try and help as many people as I can..I go to church, I've been told, I'm thirsty for the Lord...I also feel I must get this out to as many as will except it and I need help passing it on , it's true and it happen to me.Oh and you dream..like this.

I dreamed this 2 weeks before my father in law when in for triple by pass surgery, he was very sick, and weak, and they had given him a 50/ 50 chance of making it out of the hospital...he was in his early 70's...the doctors had been keeping and eye on a blockage he had in a artery for many years and it was getting bigger and giving him a lot of problems so they did all the scams, MRI, cat, x-rays and so on..and had this problem well documented...like I said I dreamed this 2 days before. My husband and I were young Christians at the time...about 8 months, anyway at the hospital we went in ,my husband, his sister, her pastor, and me and we gathered around his bed before he was to go in, I was holding his hand, and as we were praying, i got this feeling of calm and peace,I knew ever thing was going to be OK, well that day before we left home for the hospital, I couldn't get the dream off my mind, it was almost like angels were telling me over and over, to write it down, and it felt like a powerful urge to do so,it was driving me nuts, so I took a pad with me, and after they took him into surgery...I got comfortable with the family and started writing in a corner of the waiting room, the words flew out of my head and I was writing like I had never written before, you see I have a muscle disorder and i can't write and control my hands like I did years earlier...I wrote this in less than 25 minutes, and in less than 45 minutes they called out and said they couldn't find the blockage while they were doing the heart catherazation and his arteries were clear,and he could go home. that day
when i read what i had written ,it was a poem and I'm not a poet, and even if I was I couldn't have written it that fast. I had from the time I left home felt like i was with angels , why I don't know... well he went home that was 4 years ago and he's still doing good for an almost 80 year old man..so here's what I wrote that day, and a lot of people have read it and it has changed their life's, I claim no input for the poem other than the hand holding the pen...the words came from angels, directed by God.

THE DREAM

I DREAMED ONE NIGHT TWO ANGELS CAME TO MY BED. THEY TOOK ME TO HEAVEN I FELT I HAD NOTHING
TO DREAD. WE STOOD IN FRONT OF A BIG WHITE GATE. IT OPENED SLOWLY AS WE STOOD IN WAIT.
MANY CLOUDS BILLOWED AND SWIRLED ABOUT US AS I STOOD IN AWE OF THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS THAT
SURROUNDED US. WHAT I SAW WORDS COULD NOT EXPRESS, I WANTED TO STAY AT THIS BEAUTIFUL ADDRESS.
THE ANGELS ALLOWED ME TO LOOK INSIDE, THE BEAUTY THE MAJESTY, MADE ME CRY.
"IT'S TRUE, IT'S ALL TRUE, I KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE" I HEARD MYSELF CRY, AS TEARS RAN STREAMING
FROM MY EYES.
I KNEW WHAT I SAW WAS NOT OF THIS EARTH,THIS CREATION WAS FOR THOSE OF THE NEW BIRTH. THE
POWER, THE BEAUTY, THE SIGHT OF IT ALL WAS SO STRONG,THAT THE ANGELS SHUT THE GATES QUICKLY
TO MY NEW HOME. "IT'S NOT YOUR TIME," I HEARD THEM SAY, " WE JUST WANTED YOU TO SEE WHAT WAS
ON THE WAY," THEY SAID "YOU WILL NOT REMEMBER WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN INSIDE THE GATE, BUT YOU WILL REMEMBER WHERE
YOU HAVE BEEN.YOU MUST TELL OTHERS ABOUT THIS DREAM. THAT GOD'S WORD IS TRUE. IT'S THE REAL THING.
GOD HAS LET YOU SEE WHAT IS YOUR REWARD IF YOU WORSHIP, LOVE HIM, AND KEEP HIS WORD."
WE ALL NEED TO REALIZE THAT IT'S REALLY TRUE. WE NEED TO GET THE LOST ONES IN IF IT'S ALL THAT WE
DO. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME, THE END IS NEAR, AND YES, IF YOU ARE LOST YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO FEAR.
CALL ON JESUS NOW, SO YOU CAN GO TO AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT I SAW AND YOU'LL BE EXCITED TOO.
I'LL SOON BE IN MY NEW HOME,PASS THE BIG WHITE GATES. DON'T YOU WANT TO GO THERE TOO? I JUST CAN'T
WAIT!!!!


I REALLY DREAMED THIS DREAM JUST AS IT IS WRITTEN. I FEEL IT WAS INSPIRED BY GOD AND HE GUIDED MY
THOUGHTS AND MY HAND IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER.

I AM GIVING THIS TO YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND GOD HAS DIRECTED ME TO DO SO.
I HOPE THIS MESSAGE WILL HELP YOU TO MAKE THE BIGGEST DECISION OF YOUR LIFE
TO ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR AND TO SERVE HIM. SO YOU, ONE DAY
WILL STAND AT THE BIG WHITE GATES AND BE INVITED IN TO STAY, FOR ETERNITY.
GOD BLESS YOU

Answer 2

It's definitely like a high. I have experienced cocaine, marijuana, LSD, opium ( Thai stick in Thailand) , crack, speed ( smoked it and snorted ), and have been drunk in my past. That was more than 20 years ago.

The high that you get from God is better than all of those. For one thing there is no coming down. I think I can analogize it as being as if you worked out a lot. And you feel in shape and strong, and go for long periods of time without getting colds, or sick in any other way. That's what it's like with God, except that the working out isn't physical, it's trusting God more and more with different parts of life.

Some people find a ceiling that they are comfortable with and stay there. While others find new 'exercises' that that they were incapable of trusting God for before.

This 'exercise' is just as valid for the very young, as it is for the very old. It doesn't matter how sick you are, and it doesn't matter if you can run a marathon or are a quadapelegic. None of that makes a difference, you can still trust God.

It's like that.

Answer 3

Trust me, I mean this with all the love in the world. If you're addicted to God, you need mental therapy. I am a minister myself and God-addictions can do more damage than good. I've seen it myself, I know what I'm talking about.

Blessed Be.

Answer 4

I'm not sure you could describe it as an addiction, it's a belief. Generally an addiction is something that is bad for you, like drugs or alcohol. God is not bad for you as long as you follow him along the right path and obey His Laws, especially the love one another one that Jesus gave us.

Answer 5

God is not an addiction. God is our almighty father. He loves us,watches over us and guides us through life. Your earthly parents should do such a wonderful job of raising you as our father has done throughou your life. You should get down on your knees and thank him for all the wonderful things that you have been given in your life.

Answer 6

Theres not such thing as "addicted to god". You don't have a chemical dependensy on god. Its a choice, you either believe and live with the doubt, or you doubt and deal with the believers.

Answer 7

It feels like a positive addiction...a loving relationship that you want to get to know God more and more...cannot be explained, only experienced...and Only God can grace you with it, if you ask Him for it.

I hope this helps...God bless.

Answer 8

It's a good thing to be addicted to God coz I'll know where
I go when I die one day. The feeling is PEACE in my
heart when I know that I am with Him & have proven myself to be worthy of His Sacrifice for me. I also know that I will walk as righteously as I can with the awareness of Him beside me. To sum it up, Living my life in Pure Bliss & without Fear or Guilt.

Answer 9

Addiction is not a word that goes hand in hand with God.
It goes with Alcohol and drugs and Cigarettes. Not religion!

Answer 10

Ohh, it feels great. I am a God addict. I love to dwell on His Word. I pray. I love to worship Him. God is the best. I always want to be addicted to Him. He is gooood. : )

Answer 11

feels great. i guess it would be the complete opposite of feeling depressed. you feel love. so i guess being addicted, means being in love....if you have a wife or husband than you probably know what love feels like. now pretend that god is you husband, or wife.. there now you know what it feels like to love god, or be "addicted"
