Thirsty Soul?

"O God, thou art my God, early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for Thee: my flesh longeth greatly after Thee in a barren and dry land without water: Thus I behold Thee as in the sanctuary, when I behold Thy power and Thy glory. For Thy loving-kindness is better than life: therefore my lips shall praise Thee. Thus will I magnify Thee all my life, and lift up mines hands in Thy Name. My soul shall be satisfied, as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise Thee with joyful lips." Psalm 63:1-5 Geneva Bible of 1599

Are you thirsty?

Are you hungry for more of God?

Are you ready for a change?

You might be hungry and in great distress about your situations, but one must make God their sufficiency in everything, above everything.

Most all of us at one point or another have had an encounter with God.

Most of us have a knowledge about God.

It is not just learning about God, it is having that personal relationship with Him.

It is about meeting and tasting the supernatural presence of God.

"O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteh in Him." Psalm 34:8

This is the life we were born to live.
This is a life filled with joy in the presence of God.

This passionate desire creates a hunger deep within our heart, which is only satisfied by that joy from being in His presence.

Many of us know stories of and from the Bible.

How many of us truly know God?

God met Job in his storm.

God met Moses in a burning bush.

God met David through the anointing oil that was poured out.

God met Paul on the road to Damascus.

Not a one of them were the same after their encounter with God.

These and many more like them, like you and I have been changed through the years, from tasting that joy which comes from above.

It was and is the Love of God that sustains.

This same love is available to you, for it has never went away.

"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you." John 16:7

God's love is available for all today, and it will enable all of us to keep going through those trials and tribulations that life throws at us.

Today, maybe you feel a stirring in your heart.

God is drawing you through the Holy Spirit, his Comforter.

We all were created to know God for ourselves.

We were created to be satisfied in Him above all things.

"And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power;" Colossians 2:10 KJV

"For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him: and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist." Colossians 1:16-17 KJV

God is drawing your heart towards Him.

God is drawing you into a new relationship with Him.

What are you holding onto?

What's holding you back from giving God your all?

What has your attention?

Let go and let God.

Let God take control of the wheel.

It will surprise you.

Open up your heart.

Let your heart become vulnerable to God, and take that step into His presence.

Take a leap of faith.

Truthfully, what have you got to lose?

Once you take that step, you will be stepping out of the world of human limitations into the loving arms of God.

Are you ready to take that step and start a brand new journey, anew chapter in your life's book?

I don't care about what all these self help books have to say.

I don't care about what these self help pastor's, or preachers tell you.

The truth is God is the only way to change.

It is impossible for us to change our own lives.

If you truly want to change and you have that tugging on your heart, but you think you cannot change, have I got good news for you.

You can't change, but God can change you.

"The Lord is near unto them that are of a contrite heart, and will save such as be afflicted in spirit." Psalm 34:18 Geneva Bible 0f 1599

Just when you think you can't handle you situations, there is no hope; God is at hand to help deliver you out.

"The sacrifices of God are a contrite spirit: a contrite and broken heart, O God, thou will not despise.

Contrite: feeling sorrow for a wrong that one has done.

Synonyms: apologetic, penitent, regretful, remorseful, repentant, rueful, sorry.

Related Words sad, grieving, mournful, sorrowful, woeful.

Do you have a wounded heart?

When God comes in and rearranges one's heart, there is an encounter.

This encounter is with the Living God.

When this encounter takes place all affections will be touched, all actions will be affected.

God will be the center of all affection.

Everything in our lives will be touched and changed.

When His love touches us, that experience alone will cause us to love God passionately.

We would rather let God be the object of our love and not to those things of sensual pleasures, worldly pursuits, or earthly relationships.

God alone will be the object of our love and affection.

When God changes us, we will love differently, and act differently.

You will know if you have fallen into love with God.

It will be your desire, your joy to please Him.

So much so, that you will desire to be in His presence and to experience all that God has for you.

All you have to do is ask.

"Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye might lay the same on your pleasures." James 4:3 Geneva Bible of 1599

There is nothing wrong with wanting a good life.

When it involves seeking pleasure at others expense or at the expense of obeying God it is a sin.

Pleasure that God gives is rich and bountiful, it is the best you can get.

Other pleasures only last for a season, God's last forever.

"For where your treasure is, there will be your heart also." Matthew 6:21

If there is a desire that has been laid upon your heart to be in His presence and experience all that He has for you, just ask.

If you have become hungry and thirsty and have not been able to be satisfied by the pleasures of this world, look no further.

God is calling you.

God wants to change your life.

Won't you let Him touch your life.

Come and let Him change and transform you.

"One thing have I desired of the Lord, that I will seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to inquire in His temple. For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion: in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord." Psalm 27:4-6 KJV
