I continue to remain in the revelation of what it means to be desperate. I think of all the things desperation causes us to do, act and live like. When we are desperate for something, it defines our being, who we are, how we act, what we do, how we speak, how we cry. When hunger moves to desperation, it moves from a place of discomfort to a place of total abandonment of everything that has once determined the level of our actions, our pride, our dignity, our fears; and it becomes all consuming and we just dont care anymore. When I was in Mozambique God spoke to me and one of the things He said was 'I am not into moving you out of your comfort zones...I am into demolishing them' Now I realise what He meant. He is not just about a little hunger, if we will pray the oh so dangerous prayer, He is about causing us to desire Him above all else, to hurt for Him, to physically feel the pain of needing to be near Him, needing Him to feed us daily. There is a reason He draws back from us sometimes and I believe this is it. If we truly desire for Him to be our everything and for all fear of man, of the world, all our dignity, control and pride to be thrown by the wayside because we are just so desperate we simply and genuinely dont care about anything anymore except our desperate hunger for Him and His presence...
....then we must pray for a desperate Holy hunger.
Its a dangerous prayer....but someone has got to pray it, and pray it soon.
oh and p.s.....He comes everytime. God cannot resist a desperately hungry heart :)
