Built Part III "Developing Spiritual Hunger"

Developing Spiritual Hunger

“We are building in the storm for the storm”

Matthew 7:24-25

Has your foundation been shaken?

If we don’t build on an unshakeable foundation our house will crash

Building is not immediate, its a PROCESS-PROCESS-PROCESS

“Between Desire and the delight of standing in the storm is DISCIPLINE”

The foundation of salvation is where we begun - Building a lifestyle of practicing the Word of God

How do we develop Spiritual Hunger?

Luke 6:21 NLT

“...God blesses you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied...”

“...God is saying, If you will get hungry, I will fill that hunger...”

Let us address two things that keep us from developing spiritual Hunger

We are filled with junk food

Disobedience

James 1:22

New Heart English Bible But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

“Inspiration without application leads to frustration”

Practical Steps To Develop Spiritual Hunger

Ask God to empty you - It’s called “Repentance”

Holy Spirit search my heart

What are the hurst and hang ups in my life

Be still and start repenting

Be Still

Psalm 46:10

“Be still, and know that I am God! Be silent and stop!

If things get smaller in your life, God says, I’ll get Bigger in your life”

Proverbs 16:26 The appetite of laborers works for them; their hunger drives them on.

2. Ask God to fill you

Ask God to replace those things in your life

Replace those bad things with the Word of God, Prayer, Worship, Getting around Godly people

Ask God to use you

Help me take responsibility - “…I was wrong...”

Become Generous

Celebrate one another

Proverbs 3:26-27

27Do not withhold good from those who deserve it

when it’s in your power to help them.

28If you can help your neighbor now, don’t say,

“Come back tomorrow, and then I’ll help you.”

You can’t Do This On Your Own

Leviticus 20:8

“...I am the LORD who sanctifies you...”

Ask God, Walk me through this...

Jeremiah 29:12–13 NASB95

‘Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. ‘You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
