Hunger – Day 12 – Relaunch Video Journal

Hunger  – “When you are hungry for God you stop at nothing to see His vision.”

Scripture:  Nehemiah 9:1-4

What Nehemiah does, before anyone knew the vision, comes to pass in the city among all the people of God.  All the people fasted.  This means they didn’t eat for a prescribed period of time.  It is incredible how the actions of one faithful leader, to deprive himself of food and seek the face of God, led to thousands desperately desiring a move of God in the city.  When we withdraw from our self-dependence, this is when we truly begin to surrender to the Holy Spirit and His promptings in our lives.  As I am writing this I am hungry.  My stomach is growling and I need food.  May we have this same hunger for God and His presence in our lives as we hunger for His Word.

One thought on “Hunger – Day 12 – Relaunch Video Journal”

  1. I have committed to a 40-day “fasting” of about 600/cal/day. I’m being supervised by a counselor & am not doing this of my own “diet plan,” I’d normally say “forget it” to 600/cal day but I have decided to do this & commit to it & bring myself closer to God like the people in Nehemiah.
