Hunger for GOD

Hunger for God

It is a fact that the Almighty God designed man in such a way that only God’s Presence and  Glory  can satisfy the deepest cravings, longings and hunger, thirst in a man’s soul, spirit!  (Acts 17: 16-31 esp:v 27- grope for God, feel for Him; Ps 42:1-2- Thirst for God; Matt 5:6 – Hunger for righteousness . Seek:

Mankind is privileged to be called to a place- close to the heart of the Father God. We can come to His Throne- and enjoy the perfect peace, safety, security, happiness, joy, satisfaction that only He can give. Through faith in the blood sacrifice of Christ, man is reconciled to God.

This is described in Holy Scriptures as: under the shadow of His wings, (Ps 91) secret place in God, our LIFE being hid with Christ in God, coming to the Throne of Grace, we being the dwelling place or abode  of most High God, our hearts! Our re-created human spirits! We are partakers of His divine nature through Christ! We now have His mind! Access to wisdom from above! Gifts and Graces to meet every need of life itself! Lacking nothing!

“He never sends away any empty – except those who are full of themselves!” one has said. So the most dangerous enemy is not the devil – he’s a defeated foe. The enemy is actually selfishness! Our natural old tendency to judge things by our five senses- rather than by the Spirit of Reality! The old way- we are to put OFF- toss it! Every day! The new way- new man- put on every day fresh! Renew our minds to this! 

How to detect if you’re in the spirit – or flesh (five senses): what interests, excites you more? What you’re doing- or what God is doing? What you see naturally or what the WORD says? Your bank-book balance (in black-and-white)? Your human flesh – aches and pains- or the WORD that declares your liberty/ health ? Is your life focus – YOU? Or outside you?  Is The Lord Most High- top on your list of priorities? His will? The will and glory of the of the coming Kingdom and its righteousness? Temporal or Eternal Things? Temporary things- or permanent things?

Eternal Treasures: which are – PEOPLE -- God’s top priority! You can’t take it with you they say- but I say- you can send it on ahead! Jesus said likewise!

What has this to do with seeking GOD? Or hunger for GOD? Everything! We have to first detect our own position! Are we a professor or a possessor? (Rev 3:17-18) Hot or cold? Satisfied or dissatisfied? In God we are satisfied with Him, yet dissatisfied with ourselves. We need to be endued with power to do good for the people to demonstrate Christ’s resurrection power in this age. What would Jesus do?
Then let us do what we figure He would do if He were on earth! (Acts 10:38)

Jesus is coming! The end of all things- (evil) is at hand. A great change is on the horizon! The Government shall rest on His shoulders! The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord- of His Christ- and He shall reign forever. Of the Increase of His government and of His peace – there shall be NO END!

Now you see why we need to hunger for more of God- transforming us into soldiers- fully equipped for battle! (Eph 6) God is unwilling that any should perish- but wants all to come to repentance!
