How Hungry Are You?

                      
                              Matthew 5:6

Are you hungry enough to chase after God? Psalm63.1,7-8:                                                                      
"O God, You are my God, earnestly will I seek You; my inner self thirsts for You, my flesh longs and is faint for You, in a dry and weary land where no water is.
For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings will I rejoice.
My whole being follows hard after You and clings closely to You; Your right hand upholds me."
God is waiting for you to catch Him. It's time to get out of the church that we know, It's time to break out of the praise and worship that we know, it's time to stop praying the same old way we always pray , and it's time to realize we need Him , not that we need to know about Him or of the past things He has done, and start seeking who He is now and what He is doing right now. God wants us to know Him. He wants  us to be so hungry for Him that we are chasing Him.
In his book, {The God Chaser}, Tommy Tenney says; The difference between the truth of God and revelation is very simple. Truth is where God has been, revelation is where God is. Truth is God's tracks, His trail, His path, but it leads to Him.  But true God chaser's are not satisfied to know where God's been, they are not content to just study His trail, His truths, they want to know Him. They want to know where He is and what He is doing right now.
God is not asking us how much we know about Him; He is asking us do we really know Him, do we really want Him?  Knowing about Him doesn't imply intimacy.  Knowing Him does.
God is not going to pour out His spirit where He doesn't find hungry. And you can not live in His presence without repentance, because repentance permits the pursuit of God's presence.
So again I ask you to consider this question. How hungry are you to know God?
