Summary:

Our relationship with our Father deepens as we hunger and thirst after righteousness. The Holy Spirit brings the answer of our seeking Him with a whole heart. True communication, answer to prayer and a relationship that has no end.

Show Notes:

People cannot be “taught” into the kingdom of God, it must come by revelation through the Holy Spirit.
It’s our hungering and thirsting after the Lord that opens up that deep relationship with Him.
As we enter into this one on one relationship with the Lord, the Holy Spirit begins to make the Word come alive to us.
Our hungering and thirsting after God starts with our human initiative.
Because our relationship with the Lord is on His terms and not ours, our human initiative turns into spiritual initiative as we mature in Him.
Everything has changed, and the way I look at things is different now because I am hearing from God.

Quotes:

Two people can be in a room, and they can be hearing the same words. One can open his heart to the Lord and hear what God is speaking to him, and the other one never get it, never understand it.
It's about existing by the relationship you have with Him in the Spirit.
I know that a lot of people will tell you how to get there But the only way you're gonna get there is to hunger and thirst after God.
When you have a relationship; you develop that relationship with the Lord, come to know who He is, then the word becomes alive to you.
It's a simple thing. It's simply opening up your heart to know who the Lord is. "Lord, I want to know you."
That's why we were saying spirit, soul, and body, because so much of this actually starts in human initiative.
...as we grow and mature, that human initiative turns into spiritual initiative.

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Jeremiah 29:11-14

(Seeking Him with all your heart)

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Takeaway:

If you want a personal relationship with the Lord, you must hunger and thirst after Him, there are no short cuts. It’s through this relationship with Him that the Holy Spirit begins to reveal His Word and we begin to see by revelation His kingdom. You begin very simply, just cry out to Him with all of your heart.
