Starving
I heard the word “starving” this particular morning and I could feel my stomach growling. Much more than my stomach, my spirit was growling for the presence of God. There was an unrest in my soul. I felt empty and kind of delusional in my spirit. It’s crazy - my stomach was growling for physical food and my spirit was hungry for spiritual food. I was wrestling with those feelings as I laid quietly in bed trying not to wake my husband up because it was so early in the morning.
A few minutes later my husband, without me even moving, leans over and says, “You should probably go to your prayer room and have your time so you can rest.” I hadn’t said one word to him, but he could feel the presence of the hunger in my spirit. I headed down to the prayer room and this song came to my heart: “Let us become overwhelmed by your goodness, let us become overwhelmed by your presence.” The lyrics just kept ringing in my soul.
I let those words settle in my spirit and started to hum them in my mind, then pulled the song up on the internet and played it. I prayed and worshipped, and I could feel my spirit being refueled. But right in the middle of that time God prompted me to call someone. I could barely say “Hello” when they answered the phone, and just begin to pray for them. Would you believe they had been waiting for God to bring them an answer?
All those promptings in my spirit were not just for me to get fueled up, but for another servant of the most high God who was seeking His help. I was being prepared to give them the answer they needed for what they were going through. We are not here for ourselves. We are soldiers for Christ Jesus and when one solider is down, God has equipped us to be the help to get them back on their feet and to Him.
Father,
Thank you for your divine activation that puts a hunger in our spirit for you. Thank you that the hunger is so violent that we feel we can’t move until we meet with you. I praise you as a soldier going off to battle never leaves without his armor. I praise you for not only filling us up, but you give us overflow so we can help our brothers and sisters. We give you glory and praise. Amen.
