HUNGER!!!

The cry of my heart is revival. Last night I got to watch the Florida Revival for the first time. They have been holding the revival for 42 days. My Spirit was stirred even more for revival around the world. What I want to impart to you today as you read this is one thing: Hunger. A hunger for God. A dis-satisfaction for where you are now and a power surge within you to move you forward. A hatred towards sin, towards the things that hold you back from operating as the Spirit leads. You want revival? You want a change in your life? Then GET HUNGRY FOR GOD. Ask Him. He will fill you. Its almost like a machine within me that runs runs runs. Constantly saying: More God, More. I dont want to stay the same as I was yesterday. This passion within me should get stronger everyday. The Bible says in Matthew 5:6- Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be FILLED. Notice that a person who hungers and thirsts for righteousness will not only be filled, or satisfied...but they will be BLESSED. Now, what is righteousness? Simply stated, its ' being made right with God.' So blessed are those who hunger and thirst to be made right with God. To be made holy. To be made pure. Often times we run after the green pastures (prosperity) or peace instead of looking to the One who gives these things. See, when you look to the Great Shepherd (found in Psalms 23) to take care of your needs, you will lack nothing in this life. Prosperity will be yours. Peace will be yours. Health and healing will be yours. But we must look to Jesus, our Shepherd, instead of the benefits He offers us. When we run after prosperity or success, we will be left with frustration and a sense of dis-satisfaction. It almost feels like we are wasting our lives. Is this not true? But when we look to Jesus and hunger and thirst to line our lives up with Him, then we are satisfied and filled. "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie in green pastures, He restores my soul." Not only does God give us good things in life, but He restores our soul. Our emotions. He brings back what has been taken from us. Maybe broken relationships. Maybe finances. Whatever it may be today Im telling you, you will receive it when you hunger for Jesus and align yourself up with Him. His sheep are never without food. His sheep never beg for bread. They dont have to lack peace or money. Its our choice to be a part of His flock. He wont force us. Choose Him. Hunger for Him. Blessed and satisfied will you be when you make Jesus your Good Shepherd.
