“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled
Controlling thought Taken off the Layers
If you are in Christ and Christ is in you, the hunger and thirst for righteousness that is in you will be satisfied our deepest desire and longing is to be like Jesus Christ in everything. We will be walking daily through the power of the Holy Spirit. Have you ever felt you know enough about God? Have you ever felt you have had all you could want of his presence? Have you ever given up on his power? Then that is the moment you have begun to lose your spiritual hunger and thirst. We can't let that happen! Jesus tells us that only those who have the spiritual appetite to hunger and thirst for righteousness will find satisfaction. That satisfaction is the infilling of the Holy Spirit and the development of spiritual gifts and spiritual fruit (1 Corinthians 12, Galatians 5:23-23). Hearing the word of God preached increases our desire for righteousness. Hearing is the way Christ applies his word with power to hungry and thirsty souls - if we are serious about righteousness, then we should seek to be convicted by the preached word of God.

This world has polluted us with layers of clothing that depreciate and devalue and reduce the value that has predetermined us and belittling who Christ is in us that the power that was given has weakened in value because we polluted the alters with celebrity instead of the Spirit of the little God that God himself does not recognize who we are because we devalue His Son Jesus Christ by not disrespecting His identity making him the Christ of the world instead of the Christ of the Bible. Therefore if we cannot identify who Christ is in us some of us have become Luke-warm Christians whose identity is not the identity of Christ but the identity of this world that has changed our development that even the earth has cried out to God in pain that has cause the earth to have abortions and miscarriages. The earth continues to cry out to God, because the blood like running water in the streets bleeds and soaks up the ground, even due to the culture. There are so many layers of hurt and pain that have been covering the wombs that have left us to be damaged mentally.
The earth's groaning has reached the portals of heaven as the world is having contractions and birth pangs. God who lives inside of us has manifested His love through the redemption work on the cross. His creation and by giving us His Son Jesus who gave us His Holy Spirit to enter into us which justified us from being criminals. justice live and guide you in all truth. We must be obedient to the Spirit of the living God. Romans 8:22, Paul said that “the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.” He's attributing groans from the contractions are getting stronger, and the period and time between these contractions are far and in between. While Nation has risen against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. The gun violence, the murders, the lack of respect for our Heavenly Father. Lack of respect fails to process who God is when nature has seen with evidence. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. Failure to progress is the primary indicator for an emergency caesarean Jesus shall come when we are no longer able to push this is when the Holy Spirit shall be no more in humanity. Until the Kingdom comes fully on earth as it is in heaven, we'll continue to have days described as the end of the world.
Righteousness is such a blessed concept because it takes us from a world without hope and future to a loving relationship with the loving God who is the Creator and Father of us all. The truth is; that He requires us to be in the right relationship with us for Him to bless us. behavioral modification than heart transformation. propitiation brings about a change in God's attitude so that He moves from being in enmity with us to being for us. Through the process of propitiation, we are restored into fellowship and favor with Him. In a certain sense, propitiation has to do with God's being appeased. the removal of the wrath of God. We all deserve God's wrath because we sin against him. But God himself steps in between us and his wrath and bears our punishment in his brings about a change in God's attitude so that He moves from being at enmity with us to being for us. Through the process of propitiation, we are restored into fellowship and favor with Him. In a certain sense, propitiation has to do with God's being appeased.
Having an Outward appearance of holiness as a counterfeit was what mattered to me, rather than Spirit-filled change. we are fraudulently imitating Jesus Christ, jealous invading the church building deceptively, and trying to deceive God. And there are no genuine men and women in the body of Christ. The church has forged the currency of God to produce illegal immigrants to imitate and deceive the recipients of Christ that have made us imitators of the world instead of imitators of Christ, Only the perfection of Christ could have accomplished this work. How can you be made righteous? Believe in the Lord Jesus. How can you be filled? To be blessed is to be granted special favor by God with resulting joy and prosperity In the Bible, hunger, and thirst represent a longing for God and a desire to be in the right relationship with Him. Again, “to propitiate” means “to satisfy the wrath of God against sin,” “to turn away God's wrath,” or “to offer a sacrifice that appeases God's just judgment and righteous anger against us and our sin.” Note, that Jesus is not simply “the propitiator” but the “propitiation.” He is what satisfies the justice of God. With atonement, it's a covering of the sin, so it's making up for the sin, whereas the propitiation also includes this deflection, or turning away, of God's anger.
True righteousness, begins in the heart our righteousness comes from our relationship with Jesus Christ. This particular type of righteousness makes us thirst after God. We not only thirst we demonstrate hunger an inner hunger that can only be sustained by our relationship with the Father who demonstrates His love for us by and shows what is really in our hearts. Generating the outward actions of our words and our activities will glorify the Lord and God’s will is then accomplished. This produces spiritual hunger that is needed and the desire to feed the spiritual nourishment needed for growth in the church. So many have fallen away from malnutrition and starvation. Yet there are the few who are those hunger and thirst for righteousness shall be a fulfillment. You can’t be filled until you are empty. God can’t fill you if you are already full. God loves to fill empty vessels during His earthly visit God has certainly shown through His ministry on earth. God desires to transform us into the image of Christ (Romans 8:29) and make us fruitful as well as the righteousness of God.
God wants us to produce and to produce we must eradicate what we are producing. word of God, the Bible, to produce automobiles for export. to bring forth; give birth to; bear: to produce a litter of puppies. to provide, furnish, or supply; yield: a mine producing silver. Finance. to cause to accrue: stocks producing unexpected dividends. To bring forward; to bring or offer to view or notice; as to produce a witness or evidence in court. Produce your cause. To exhibit to the public. To produce is to create, manufacture, or cultivate. We rely on agriculture to produce food and artists to produce art. As a noun, produce (accented first syllable) is the product of gardening: fruits and vegetables. As long as they held on to their pride, they could not bear the fruits of repentance, faith, obedience, relationship, and participation.
Righteousness
Righteousness is our allegiance to Him, Allegiance to God requires a price to be paid. Jesus paid sin's debt on the cross. He calls us to bear our cross in allegiance to Him! “Then he [Jesus] said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me” Our allegiance must be to our King But we are told to expect trials in our day-to-day lives and to face them head-on for the sake of our greater calling. As believers, our citizenship is in heaven loyalty and obedience owed to one we want to be characterized by good works (humility and forgiveness We want to always be ready to “give an account for the hope that is within you. Righteousness is, therefore, based upon God's standard because He is the ultimate Lawgiver The perfect righteousness of Christ is "upon all those who believe" The perfect righteousness of Christ is "upon all those who believe" (Romans 3:22). It is their "wedding garment" (Matthew 22:12) the "best robe" (Luke 15:22) by which they are covered. And thus may each one say, "In the Lord, I have righteousness and strength" (Isaiah 45:24). Now can he declare "I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness" (Isaiah 61:10).
The result of spiritual fruitfulness is that God is glorified, we grow up in our salvation in Him we move and have our being. While others come to know Christ never growing up and are never able to digest the meat of the word but drink milk that never sustains them. Instead of being full of him, they are full of theme—this is the ultimate fruitfulness for a child of God however, the emphasis is more on spiritual rather than on material blessings. There may be years that feel like we’re waiting for a harvest that isn’t coming. Life will require great endurance.
That’s a promise. But there will also be beauty and the deep satisfaction of partnering with our King in His mission to redeem and restore our world. This is the tradeoff for denying ourselves and taking up our cross. We share in the sufferings of Christ, but we also get to share in the joy. Following Jesus God's promise to Abraham again serves as a foundation for blessings. Made holy; consecrated. (of bread and wine in Christian belief) declared to be or represent the body and blood of Christ. referring to the one more remote in place, time, or thought; opposed to this), we will explore these ideas to help everyone understand their true selves and what is most important in life. dedicated to global health and safety. love, resilience, self-worth, how they support and encourage other people around them, their wisdom and presence as well as faith in themselves We desire to be the “good soil
Our focus is passionate striving for moral and spiritual rectitude is called hungering and thirsting after righteousness (Matthew 5:6), and the satisfaction of the soul which is received by Christ is described as a state in which "he shall not hunger" (John 6:35).
The Sons of Korah wrote: "How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the LORD, my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” The same Spirit that filled the Temple lives inside of you (1 Cor. 6:19).
Spiritual starvation:
Like physical hunger though, the longer you go without nourishment, the less hungry you become eventually. You then enter - without realizing it - starvation mode. Spiritual starvation looks like less and less of a desire for God’s Word. If you have no desire for God's word or no interest in reading the Bible - perhaps you are in a state of spiritual starvation. A dead person is not hungry. A sick person loses their appetite. A lot of times we are not hungry because we have filled ourselves with the wrong stuff.
Jesus is the bread of life
Jesus is the Bread of Life. He is the Living Water. He alone can satisfy the longing and the thirst in your heart for Him. Jesus told the woman at the well that “whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst” (Jn. 4:14). Hunger and thirst are signs of life and evidence of health. God gives us a desire for food and a desire to be filled what are you hungry for? indicate connection One of the most powerful natural appetites, is the craving for water or other drink. Besides its natural significance, thirst is figuratively used as a strong spiritual desire. The soul thirsts for God (Psalms 42:2; 63:1).
Natural Appetites
One of the most powerful natural appetites is the craving for water or other drinks. Besides its natural significance, thirst is figuratively used as a strong spiritual desire. The soul thirsts longing for God (Psalms 42:2; 63:1). Jesus meets the soul's thirst with water of life (John 4:13; 6:35; 7:37). It is said of the heavenly bliss, "
Spiritual Thirst
Becoming ‘spiritually thirsty’ is when we are longing for the Holy Spirit to work in our spirits, our hearts are waiting earnestly for communication with God and our conscience is telling us we need to seek his will. They shall hunger no more; neither thirst any more" Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life the more we live a life seeking to be filled by the Holy Spirit, the more we seek after this living water the more we will long for God and received a further revelation of God's character. This is known as a 'thirst'. As we continue to be transformed by the Holy Spirit's renewing of our minds and actions, we will be more motivated in love toward God and others. Spiritual Thirst: The Bible compares us to a well in our inmost being. John 4:14, But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall by no means thirst forever, but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water gushing up into eternal life. We drink of the Lord, and the living water becomes in us a well springing up with living water unto eternal life. Wells fill up from where the source is flowing upward and outward springing up like a well of living water. Wells overflow they spring upward. In the same way, when we are filled with the Holy Spirit, life flows out of us. The more we live a life seeking to be filled by the Holy Spirit, the more we will long for God and further revelation of God's character. This is known as a 'thirst'.As we continue to be transformed by the Holy Spirit's renewing of our minds and actions, we will be more motivated in love toward God and others.
Spiritual Dehydration: While to 'thirst' in this sense is a good thing, a thirst going unsatisfied is not. It quickly becomes deprivation - deprivation that leads to dehydration. Each of us understands quite clearly when our physical bodies don't get the water we need, we get negative symptoms: a dry mouth, thick tongue, achy head, and weak muscles. if we don't get the amount of 'living water' our spirits need, we will get spiritual symptoms of deprivation. If we aren't spending time being filled and transformed by the Holy Spirit, you'll notice yourself starting to lose your temper, feeling waves of worry and a growth of guilt, selfishness, and fear starts to creep in.
David said in Psalm 139:7, “Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?” You cannot escape Him, because if you are a child of God He promised never to leave you nor forsake you.
Holy Spirit
Jesus said, “Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. The Holy Spirit of God is living within us and we are becoming more and more like Jesus every day be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father…” (Eph. 5:18–20; Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.” (Col. 3:16–17 For some people, the Holy Ghost may cause them to feel overwhelmed with emotion and moved to tears. For others, tears rarely or never come. And that's okay. For them, the Holy Ghost may produce a subtle feeling of gratitude, peace, reverence, or love The Holy Spirit dwells only in the people who are redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. This power that comes from the Holy Spirit allows you to stand strong for the things of God. Acts 1:8 says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth
This power that comes from the Holy Spirit allows you to stand strong for the things of God. The second thing the Holy Spirit wants to do in us is give us SPIRITUAL GIFTS. The gifts of the Spirit are laid out in 1 Corinthians 12:8-11 and speak to things such as miraculous healing, wisdom, prophecy, speaking in tongues, and discernment. These gifts were manifested 2,000 years ago, but they can be alive and well in our own lives today! Through personal experience and the testimonies of others, I have seen these gifts in action. Every time they have shown themselves, they have blessed the individual recipient of the gift as well as glorified God in the process. That is, the people who confess their sins, have asked God to forgive them and ask Jesus to be their savior. Those who do not have Christ, do not have the Holy Spirit or the Father. Acts 1:8 says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” The kingdom lives in us and must stand up with the power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit. The things that grieve are capable of being heard by God to the world around us. This is why today is the day of salvation, up relationships houses vineyards. We were created to build on the land, God made us capable of doing all things according to His riches in glory. God has given us all things about life and godliness. outside of the legal sanction of a state or government, usually in a deliberate attempt to imitate that currency and to deceive its recipient. imitations.
Closing
For our sake Jesus Christ made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. When God sees His people, He doesn’t see our sins. Instead, He sees us clothed in the righteousness of Christ. He sees us completely justified through that righteousness. Only Jesus could have lived a perfect, obedient, and sinless life. Only Jesus could have atoned and shed His blood for the remission of sin. Only the righteousness of Christ will enter. Therefore I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. (Isaiah 61:10) God is speaking of something that God is certainly going to do. The word shall, however, speak of something that should happen or occur take place Be filled with the Holy Spirit.” What does that mean? Don't we get filled with the Holy Spirit when we're saved?
