A True Hunger for Jesus



Considering this video from the underground church in China a couple of scriptures come to mind:

Blessed and they that do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled (Matt 5:6) and the proverb that says, "The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea,four things say not, It is enough: The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough (Prov 30:15-16). 

Much could be discussed and written about each of these things, yet I wanted to focus on the last phrase of the passage in the proverb which says, "and the fire that saith no, it is enough."   

As I watched this video regarding Christians in China I was moved out of myself to think they would pray two hours each morning, seven days a week together and those who could would be willing to listen to a preacher for almost twelve hours without a break every day, because they do not have bibles for themselves. Fire will consume everything you feed it. Moreover, the more you feed it the bigger it grows. I would truly like to be on fire the way God intends for me. My passion for Christ and his word at times does not burn as it should. Lord Jesus please help me to hunger for your righteousness as a fire. The Holy Ghost is a fire that burns in the soul of man, but I must feed it with fresh wood on the alter to keep it burning!  

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ here are three steps you need to take to be saved:

You must admit you are a sinner, confess your sin to Jesus, repent (turn from all you know is wrong), ask Jesus to come in your heart, and begin to follow Jesus by reading and obeying his word and go to a bible believing church that teaches his word. May God through Christ bless you!
