Exactly Metmom....

...there's no reason for any Christian to pursue the spiritual realm when we are already now ‘complete’ in Christ. To seek ‘something more’ in the spiritual realm is to accuse Christ of being insufficient to meet our needs....and defying Him for doing what He has clearly said not to do.

The fact is , many desire “Experiences” in the spiritual realm because they have not developed a relationship with Christ Himself...their practice is “religiosity” and “churchianity” instead of speaking directly and often with our Saviour as one would someone they love and admire...though of course it's much more than that when we do so.

....they cannot see that they need their faith to be stretched to “believe without seeing” or appealing to the senses, be it touch taste or feelings. They want proof...proof that He is ..and believe that “experiences” can attain this for them.

... Others have a desire to feel"special" or privileged....which comes from not accepting and believing the special and privileged state they already have in Christ.

Jesus Christ is truly and fully sufficient for each and every individual..and He said that He is..."My Grace is sufficient for thee"....

That's right and to seek something more in the spiritual realm is to invite demonic activity.
