THE BENEFITS OF HUNGERING FOR GOD
The more we experience intimacy in fellowship with Jesus Christ the more we hunger for Him, and the greater our longings become to be with Him in Heaven.
Then we see our focus in our lives begin to change, the more we long for our Great God and Savior:
Hunger for God prompts Hating any beachhead of sin in our lives,
Hunger for God stirs our Investing our time is Christ’s Body, His Church,
Hunger for God focuses us on Evangelizing of Lost People around the World,
Our Hunger for God fills us with the Knowledge of His Will
And on and on it goes into our lives. Actually, anything less than this growing surrender to the Lord through spiritual hungering and thirsting after God, means that our appetite has been ruined through all the little things that have filled us up. It means we have neglected the greatest food – Our Father and His Kingdom for the lesser food of His gifts in life. That spells spiritual famine, weakness, and failure.
FOCUSED ON WHY WE ARE HERE
Biblical Fasting can help us refocus on what we are doing with our time and energy.
Now for a moment, think of all the time we spend gathering, protecting, and caring for our THINGS. Then think of what value collecting, protecting, and caring will have in Heaven at Christ’s Throne versus the same time, energy, and strength poured out in loving passion for the souls of our neighbors.
Would your city be shocked if the hundreds of families started thinking more about the spiritual needs of PEOPLE; and less about their own THINGS!
