Well, I say that I am hungry for God's presence. It's a widespread saying in spirit-filled church circles. And it's true. I am hungry. My whole adult life I have made decisions to take me on a path learning about the Holy Spirit and seeking God more.
But now I'm starting to see that the Lord Jesus is asking more of me. I sense these times that He wants me, or sometimes "us" - whoever has been praying and worshipping together, to stay longer with Him. I constantly get that feeling that He wants more time.
Some would say - isn't a two and a half hour church service long enough? I would say that on a tired day.
What would happen if we stayed longer? What would happen if there were an entire day devoted to waiting on Him? How about a whole week? Moses was called up the mountain to meet with God and it was seven days of waiting before God revealed himself to Moses.
These are extreme days. I'm beginning to think that it will take extreme amounts of time and devotion to the Lord to get into places of glory and power. Especially in a society of religious routine.
But I'm a person that likes routine and regularity in my life. I could put that down. I'm willing to do things Your way, Lord. You are the Lord. I keep hearing You say - don't stop praying. I know you have more You want to reveal about Your ways.
I will seek You, I am hungry.

Yes! I would love that....an entire day devoted to worshiping and waiting on the Lord....yes, yes, yes. I agree, Rachel. I believe He is wanting more of us, more of our hearts and devoted time with Him. Our services are so rich, but there is more, and I believe it's reached in the worship. More, Lord. We want more. We are hungry for more of You.
