Hungry and thirsty for more of God!

The Lord spoke these words recently:

"There is a hunger and thirst in many of My people for more of My Word and My Spirit. Blessed are you, because for those who hunger and thirst for Me and My righteousness, they shall be filled. For I am the Bread of life and My Spirit is the Living Water. For those who eat of Mine and drink of Mine shall never lack any good thing!"

The Lord spoke further:

"I am teaching My people to be rooted in Me, so that they will not be tossed to and fro with the deceitfulness and every wind of doctrine in these perilous times. Desire therefore to grow spiritually! Desire therefore to grow deeper in Me! For I have so much more that I want to show you!"

Indeed, the Lord is putting a hunger and thirst in many of His people for more of Him and more of His glory, just like what Moses said those days, "O Lord, show me Your glory!" (Exodus 33:18) 

What we know now is just a drop of water in the entire ocean, or a little sand in the whole, vast ocean. But there is so much more that God wants to show us.

Even after seeing all the miracles, signs and wonders that God performed in Egypt, and the Red Sea opened (Exodus 14:21), and then the supernatural supply of manna (Exodus 16:15) and water from the rock (Exodus 17:6), Moses knew there's more, so much more, and hence he said, "O Lord, show me Your glory!" Moses knew if God's presence did not go with him, he couldn't carry on anymore (Exodus 33:15). 

People of God, we have entered such a time as well. It is an unprecedented and challenging time, to say the very least. Like Moses those days, this is the time all the more we need God (and His direction or guidance), as we journey on. And all the more we are to look to Him, humble ourselves and seek His face.

In pandemic times like now, and for many of you who are still in a time of waiting (for what is to come, or for your next step), the Lord is encouraging you to never give up looking to Him and seeking His face. Because He has many more things that He wants to show you. It is not over yet for you. In fact, you are about to enter the realm of great manifestations of His miracles, signs and wonders in your life. So, take heart and stay strong in the Rock of your salvation, no matter how the 'storm' descends, the 'flood' comes, or the 'winds' blow at the moment (Matthew 7:24-27).

This is the time to keep desiring for more of Him, His Word and His Spirit. As Jesus has spoken, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." (Matthew 5:6). 

May you be filled with the fullness of the Spirit of God - even the Spirit of wisdom and revelation - as you get ready for what is to come, and as you position yourself for His greater glory in your life. The best is yet to come. In Jesus' name. Amen.
