I have never spoken in tongues so if i am labeled half saved then so be it. I find that all of this experience stuff is advantageous to my life or it can be detrimental. If i just think in the intellectual acceptance by faith way then i am prone to look into the perfect law that gives liberty at one moment and then the next moment forget.
If i just focus on doing then i will become weaker and weaker and more judgemental and more judgemental.
If i say that every thing has been given to me and is all i need to do is appropriate it then i reduce all that is given to me to my performance of it.

I do believe that we are to seek that extra, that special grace, more of the Spirit. I dont think that we can react to all the tongue speakers and fall on the other side and just coast through our christian life. The logic to me is i must be more seeking than the guy who seeks tongues in my prayers so that what power or extra i have will be an example to him that maybe i have found something extra that he has never tapped with tongues. I believe that the word and the Spirit work together in prayer to infuse us with all we desire of the extra.
The Spirit lust within us and we fellowship with Him, if we think more about time slowing down, and we only concentrate on the problems of one day then we will want that relationship to be enlivened really, not theoretical, actual experience of Gods awesome presence. A real moment by moment fellowship with the Holy Ghost through meditation on the word. Yes God speaking directly to us , granting us power , love growth, understanding , in the supernatural way. Giving us a taste of Christ, as we rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory so that we long for that grace to be revealed on the last day. We would be caught up in eternity, blasting out of this world, in thinking on things above, moment by moment waiting for that extra supernatural infusion. Peace peace, peace!

Ps 17 14bYou still the hunger of those you cherish;
their sons have plenty,
and they store up wealth for their children.
15 And I-in righteousness I will see your face;
when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness."
This Psalm is teaching that Gods elect think in the opposite way that they reasoned in their old lives. The elect live on Gods love and His righteousness.You see when we are saved we give up controlling our success. In other words all of our desires are used in order to be loved by God. We learn to use sin, failure, sorrow, or on the other side, joy, success, or our good works should be used as motivation to speak to God of His works. We must learn to react with passion on how all events in our lives relate to God.
In other words if our God is big and valuable then then we will be desperate enough to use our desires to please Him. The whole reason that Jesus lowered Himself , suffered, and worked the works of righteousness is because He wanted us to value that work by being successful in what we desire according to the value of His suffering that earned the freedom and success that we have through substitution.
The christian life is the only life where weakness and sinfulness is a an advantage. In our former lives weakness and sinfulness generated guilt, fear and failure. Since the christian life is turned upside down we give up control because strength and forgiveness come out of weakness and sin. This is why the Psalmist makes a clear difference between the wicked who react with violence because they trying to control their success. 10 They close up their callous hearts,and their mouths speak with arrogance.11 They have tracked me down, they now surround me,with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.12 They are like a lion hungry for prey,
like a great lion crouching in cover". A man who is born in sin does not have a substitute. He does not have a God who loves him in his his failure. In his world the only people who exist are the people who are related to him in his family and work. So he does not believe that he is accepted by substitution but work for reward.In that kind of state a man is motivated by guilt , fear, and sorrow.
This is why the Psalmist contrast the christian being motivated by love. Ps 17" 14You still the hunger of those you cherish;their sons have plenty," Its the alternation of 15 And I-in righteousness I will see your face. I can explain that we are able to create our christian experience by being free in speaking the law, which is an imperial pronouncement that unites the implanted law that is in us with the purpose to create Gods kingdom, the curses so that we can overcome all opposition, the covenants so that we can fulfill our desires according to Gods legal success, and the promises that preserve and lengthen our lives. These pronouncements are the way that we are renewed by conversion. The law constrains us by infusing wholeness and blessedness, the curses consume our anger that is the fuel for guilt , fear, and sorrow. and teach us the orthodox way to hate...hate is expressed in conviction and not emotion, the covenants to teach us to create the future by Gods word...the whole system of Gods justice is based upon the success of the works of His wonders, the promises so that we are looking for rewards on the basis of eternal value and not the returns in this life. This is the way that we experience freedom by giving up control of others. .

Ps 89 14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
love and faithfulness go before you.
15 Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you,
who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD .
16 They rejoice in your name all day long;
they exult in your righteousness.
17 For you are their glory and strength,
and by your favor you exalt our horn.
18 Indeed, our shield belongs to the LORD ,
our king to the Holy One of Israel."

When God created man, He placed Him in the garden of God. The garden was Gods gift to man to rule and enjoy the fruits of Gods creation. The Psalmist is teaching that Gods throne is the display of His righteousness and justice in His original creation. God spoke all the creation into existence as a display of His perfect order and beauty. Mans was given a blessed estate in which the value of the gifts of God were the proof of Gods care for man. There was nothing in man or in the garden that opposed his desires and abilities.
Even tho man fell into sin, God had already made provision in order to restore man to that position by cursing the sin and corruption that would prevent him from exercising freedom to rule over the creation. Man is restored to this original authority in salvation.
Before sin man had no opposition. But after he sinned ,he was made unable to restore himself. The restoration of man was Gods work alone. God restored mans freedom and authority in the work of Christ. The Psalmist teaches that we can do nothing that is good without Christ acting perfectly as the basis of our confidence in our own acts. So we could envision this work of Christ as restoring us to ruling over all of the creation as governors in a kingdom that is controlled by God in the perfect justice of blessing and cursing.
This is why the Psalmist argues that God must be exalted because He has restored the value of all things by renewal. This evidence of success of Gods righteousness and justice is that all corrupted things must die before they can be renewed. In order for God to restore His proof to man in His gifts ,He must restore the true value of the gifts by renewal.
We are desperately dependent upon the success of God to restore us to purpose for which we were created. If this throne of God was not proficient in this restoration there would be no hope. This is why God has given us pronouncements in order to trust in the simplicity of the gifts rather than to be restored through the law. We exercise our authority in these life and death pronouncements.
