More Hunger and Thirst

Mat 5:6 Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

I wrote about the hunger and thirst Pam and I are seeing in different parts of the country. It also grieves me that in some of the same churches where we see this tremendous hunger and thirst for God, we also see people that could care less if God does anything…in fact in reality, they wish He wouldn't show up because if He does, they know they are going to have to accept some responsibility for their own spiritual walk!

My question again is "What are you hungry for?" Have you ever been hungry and thirsty for something, yet you couldn't put your finger on what it was?

In the south we have a saying when someone asks us what we want to eat, most of the time the response is "it don't matter!" If I ever get in the restaurant business I'm going to name the place "It Don't Matter" and have everything in the world to eat there!

What are you hungry for?

Some are hungry to be out of debt; others for affirmation and acceptance (which we all need to a certain degree);

Others are hungry for fellowship with people who will not judge them; others are hungry for healing and deliverance from a besetting sin.

But are we hungry for HIM?

I am very thankful for His gifts He has bestowed on us; tongues, prophecy, revelation, fresh anointing…

But I am hungry for Him!

I tell churches everywhere I go and I mean it will all my heart: you can find another preacher who can fill buildings…move in the gifts greater…preach better…but I don't know if you can find anyone who is any hungrier than I am to touch HIM and be with HIM!

The key to revival and a fresh outpouring of the Holy Ghost is not inviting a great orator to speak powerful words of man's wisdom; there is a need for more wisdom;

But what we are looking for is HIM!

Are we hungry for HIM?
