Hunger is the best sauce! In this episode of Rapid Devotionals, we'll explore spiritual hunger and its implications on our walk with the Lord. One key takeaway is that we need to learn to not "spoil our appetite" with "junk food", filling ourselves with lesser things, when only God will ultimately satisfy our hunger and thirst."Blessed and fortunate and happy and spiritually prosperous (in that state in which the born-again child of God enjoys His favor and salvation) are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God), for they shall be completely satisfied!" (Matthew 5:6 AMPC)"Ever thirsting is the secret to never thirsting." - Andrew Murray, Abide In ChristAs long as you're thirsty, you'll be refreshed, and as long as you're hungry, you will be filled. "Draw me, we will run after thee..." (Song of Solomon 1:4 KJV)We all go through seasons of perceived dryness, when we simply don't have an appetite for the things of God, when we're filling ourselves with lesser pleasures and chasing temporal fulfillment outside of the presence of God. This hunger, this driving force, is essential in our walk with God and in pursuing spiritual growth. If we ever sense that appetite waning or fading, the first key to breakthrough is to simply recognize it. Then ASK. Ask the Holy Spirit to stir up a new hunger and desire in you. I guarantee that is a prayer He will always answer!One thing I've discovered is that the more of God I "eat", the hungrier I get. It's the opposite of the natural. Our spiritual appetite often suffers when we're filling our souls with other things. They don't necessarily have to be sinful, just not spiritually beneficial. When we begin to fill our souls with the Word of God, with anointed teachings/sermons, spending time in prayer, praise and worship, waiting in stillness in His presence, etc., it begins to kickstart and stir up a hunger in our hearts for MORE!Stay hungry my friends! Drink deep, eat and be satisfied in His wonderful presence. Nothing else in this world compares!

Have you had your "co-co" today? 😄 Here's a fun way to help you remember THE most amazing mystery revealed in ALL of Scripture (IMHO): We are ONE with CHRIST! "But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him." (1 Cor 6:17)I believe the Holy Spirit is highlighting and restoring this truth to the Body of Christ, which will have unfathomable ramifications. Yes, it's a mystery, but it's no less a present reality. I wholeheartedly beseech you to seek out this truth and ask God to reveal more and give understanding about what Jesus actually accomplished for us on the cross! It is so much more than the cheapened and watered down gospel you are used to hearing. More on that later! For now, enjoy this video and "drink your co-co"!

Here's some powerful scriptures to meditate on:

Romans 6:3-7Colossians 3:1-4Romans 8:9-112 Corinthians 5:17Philippians 3:8-10John 17:20-23Galatians 2:20Ephesians 1:22-23Philippians 3:12-141 John 2:3-51 John 4:17

You were created to know God! Not just know about Him, but to experientially and intimately know Him in a very real, practical, and tangible way. This is the heart and foundation of everything I am producing on Eleventh Hour Content to share with you, and also my greatest passion in life!Never lose sight of what it's all about: You were created and designed for intimacy with God. In all of our "Christianity", in all of our spiritual pursuits, let's make sure we're not falling for the trap of pursuing religion outside of relationship, or going after the things of God apart from pursuing the face of God. May our primary pursuit be to know Him and be known by Him."I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know him through your deepening intimacy with him." (Ephesians 1:17)"In the same way you received Jesus our Lord and Messiah by faith, continue your journey of faith, progressing further into your union with him!" (Colossians 2:6)He has made Himself available, findable, searchable, knowable by the Holy Spirit. The same God who spoke all of creation into existence, who "determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name" (Psalm 147:4), also knows you, and desires relationship with you. May you "know Him through your deepening intimacy with Him", as you "continue your journey of faith, progressing further into your union with Him!"🔔 Subscribe to my channel @EleventhHourContent for more content as I continue to create!
