But the water that I shall give him shall be
in him a well of water springing up into everlasting
life Tonight I ask you to be patient with me
and follow along because I know I've heard from
the Lord I Want to preach to you tonight on this
subject hunger has a sound Hunger has a sound
Let us pray before we go to the Word of the Lord.
Father, I am so thankful, God, for Your Word.
I am so thankful, God, for Your Word. I don't
know where I would be without You, God, and I
don't know what my life would be like if Your
Word hadn't come to me and changed me, God. Father,
I'm so thankful for Your Word. I ask You tonight,
Lord. that you would touch every life that is
in this house, God. You know every person, God,
what they've walked in this house needing, oh
God. And I know, Lord, that I've heard from you
and I pray that you would help me, God, just
to deliver the word as you've given it to me,
Lord, and that it would be like oil, God, that
just flows into those deep places of their souls.
God, I'm asking you. To touch every life here
tonight that they would not leave this house
empty Oh God, but that they would just be full
God and the things of you need in your life.
Can you just lift your hands already and just
give God thanks? Can you just begin to worship
Him? Can you just begin to feel after the Lord?
Can you open your heart and tell Him how hungry
you are? Hunger has a sound, church. If you're
hungry, you cry out. Oh God, do a work like only
you can. We give you praise in this house tonight.
Let your will be done, Lord, in Jesus' name.
Amen, you may be seated. I'm sorry that I'm always
a crybaby. If I'm feeling the Lord, there's gonna
be some tears. God is a God who pours out His
blessings powerfully, mightily, and abundantly
upon those who belong to Him. Have you been a
recipient of those blessings? In the Gospel of
Matthew 5, 1 through 12, Jesus begins with what
is known as the Sermon on the Mount. We're all
familiar with it. Seeing the crowds, He goes
up into the mountain and He sits down and He
begins to teach His disciples. And in the opening
section often called the Beatitudes, Jesus describes
the kind of people who are truly blessed in God's
kingdom. He declares in Matthew 5 and 3, blessed
are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom
of God. Blessed are they that mourn for they
shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek for
they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they
which do hunger and thirst after righteousness
for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy. And blessed are
the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed
are the peacemakers, for they shall be called
the children of God. Blessed are they which are
persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs
is the kingdom of heaven. And blessed are ye
when men shall revile you and persecute you and
shall say all manner of evil against you falsely
for my sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad,
for great is your reward in heaven, for so persecuted
they, the prophets which were before you." So
in this verse, Jesus turns the world's values
upside down. He doesn't praise power or wealth
or status. Instead, he honors humility, he honors
repentance, he honors mercy, and he honors purity.
Each blessing that he declares, it carries a
promise. He promises comfort for the broken,
mercy for the repentant, satisfaction for the
hungry heart, the joy of seeing God, the honor
of being called his children, and the inheritance
of his kingdom. These blessings reveal the heart
of God's kingdom and the rich rewards of a life
that lives them. In these passages of scripture,
we see Jesus guiding us along a spiritual journey.
First, we encounter the poor in spirit, those
who recognize their deep need for God. Then comes
mourning, those who grieve over sin, over brokenness,
over the things that grieve the heart of God.
And next, the meek, those who have surrendered.
yielded and stopped striving for control. And
when a soul reaches this place of emptiness,
something beautiful begins to happen. Most of
us in this room have experienced that. A new
hunger is born, a hunger for only what God can
satisfy. It is in this very place of emptiness
that Jesus declares in Matthew 5 and 6. Blessed
are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness,
for they shall be filled. But I wanna ask you,
what does it truly mean to hunger and thirst
after righteousness? And how does that hunger
prepare us, position us to be filled by God and
to be completely satisfied? When Jesus speaks
of hungering and thirsting after righteousness,
He is talking about a consuming relentless hunger
of the soul. He's talking about a spiritual appetite
that refuses to be satisfied by the things of
this world. When he talks about hungering and
thirsting after righteousness, he is calling
us to a pursuit of living in perfect alignment
with his will. He is asking us to reflect on
his heart. His holiness and His character in
every thought, word, and action. He is calling
us to have a heartfelt longing for Him, to have
an intimate relationship with Him. Righteousness
is simply just being in right standing with God.
A righteous person seeks to do what is good,
what is just, and what is pleasing to God, not
just outwardly. but from the heart. It's choosing
to live rightly, honestly, and faithfully according
to God's ways. The pursuit of righteousness begins
with a hunger. Jesus declared that those who
hunger and thirst after righteousness, they will
be filled. Almost all of you have heard the phrase,
you are the company that you keep. Have we heard
that? This means the people you spend the most
time with have a strong influence on your character,
your behavior and life choices. It's about the
idea that your friends, your peers, your associates
shape you positively or negatively because habits,
attitudes and values are often contagious. If
you spend time with people who are disciplined,
kind and spiritually minded, you'd more likely
adapt to those qualities as well. If you surround
yourself with people who are careless, dishonest,
or constantly complaining, it can pull you into
those same patterns. In a spiritual sense, it
also ties into your moral and righteous growth.
If you want to draw closer to God and live a
life of righteousness, The people that you choose
to be around, they will either encourage your
faith or they will weaken it. You could think
of it also like this. Just as iron sharpens iron,
the right company strengthens your character
while the wrong company will dull it. So I just
ask you tonight, please excuse me for the personal
reference. But in the last several months of
doing this, I have found this. The easiest way
for me to speak, preach, whatever you want to
call this, is just to tell you of my own life
story. I was not raised in a godly home. I've
shared this with you before. I didn't know a
thing about being righteous. I come from a family
of heathens. They drank, they smoked, they cussed,
they lied, they steal, they fought. That was
my upbringing. It's all I ever knew. It's all
I ever knew. But I remember it's been almost
21 years ago. Well, it has been 21 years. The
Lord began to deal with my heart. He began to
just nudge me and I began to feel like something
is just not right with me. Something is missing
inside of me. I didn't think I was a terrible
person because I didn't do the things, most of
the things that my family did. I didn't drink.
I didn't smoke. I did have some bad habits, but
I'm not gonna tell you what they were because
God has forgiven me and it's not for you to know.
But I did struggle with a lot of things, but
God did help me. And I remember it was on the
beginning of February of 2005. And like I said,
I began to feel the Lord just... dealing with
me, and at that time, Autumn was just a young
baby, and I thought to myself, I want to give
her a better life than I ever had. I want to
do right by her. And I began to feel God convicting
me. And even though I didn't know what righteousness
was, I didn't know what right living was, I knew
that deep down inside of me, that there was something
hungering in me for something more. I had a void
in my life, I could feel it. So it was in that
time that God began to deal with me and I just
felt the need that I needed to tell him sorry
for all the things I had done. And I repented.
I didn't know anything about the way you lived
your life. I didn't know how to come in here
and be a Christian. I didn't know how to worship.
I didn't know how to pray. I didn't know what
the Word of God meant. I couldn't define righteous
if you asked me to. I'd never heard of it my
entire life. But I knew I had a hunger inside
of me for God. And so in that, I repented. And
as I was over there praying before this service,
I felt the Lord to nudge me to share the testimony
of me receiving the Holy Ghost. You see, you
can try to live a good life and you can try to
do all the right things, but it's always going
to come up empty if you're not filled with the
Holy Ghost. Because your righteousness can only
take you so far. And so I'll never forget that
hunger that I had for God. I was so hungry, people.
I didn't know anything, but I remember sitting
at my kitchen table, and from daylight to dark
for three weeks, I read the Word of God, and
I never got up from that table except to feed
my daughter. That's how hungry I was. But in
doing so, the Lord began to reveal to me who
He was. I had the understanding that He was the
one true and living God, and there was no one
else. He began to do something in me and I was
so hungry for him. I had saturated my soul with
his word. And I'll never forget when I decided
to go to an apostolic church. That hunger was
there. Oh, I just wanted Jesus. I didn't have
it all figured out, but I wanted Jesus. No one
had to beg me. No one had to convince me. No
one had to do anything. There was just such a
hunger in my heart for God that when that man
of God gave that altar call, I went to the front
and I did what he asked me to do and I lifted
my hands and God filled me with the Holy Ghost.
I began to speak in other tongues. I didn't even
know what it was. I remember the man of God said,
if you've not been filled with the Holy Ghost,
come up. And I remember tapping him. I don't
have the Holy Ghost. He's like, oh, you got the
Holy Ghost. I didn't understand it, but there
was such a hunger in me. God changed my life.
And even though I didn't have it all figured
out, there was such a hunger in me. And I wanted
more of Him. And because I spent time with him
and I hungered for him and his word and his presence,
he began to change me. I began to understand
what he was asking. You become like those whom
you spend the most time with. But the same is
true about when I began to spend time with God.
You see, I'd done that with my family and I'd
picked up habits that they had. But the moment
God filled me with the Holy Ghost and I began
to spend time with him in prayer, and His Word,
I started taking on His nature. It wasn't until
I began to hunger for God that He began to show
me what was pleasing in His sight. The more time
that I spent with Him, the more I understood
what His righteousness was. That hunger and that
thirst that I had for Him led me to hunger and
thirst after what pleases Him, not me anymore.
Wasn't what I wanted anymore. It was everything.
I didn't care what he asked me to do. There was
no disputing it. I didn't care if he would have
asked me to dunk cartwheels. Whatever, I did
not care. I just wanted what he wanted. And that's
what hunger would do for you. The more time that
I spent in his presence, the more he made me
like him. If you find yourself struggling with
unrighteousness and carnality, ask yourself,
how much time are you spending in His presence?
How much time are you spending in His word? Are
you hungering for the things of God more than
the things of this world? Only you know, it's
between you and Jesus. But I really feel like
God has... prompted me to just ask you to search
your heart tonight. What are you spending time
on? Who are you spending time with? Are you making
space for the Lord? Is He your priority? We've
been hearing a lot lately about kingdom purpose
and we want that in our lives. We've got to have
the power of the Holy Ghost working in our lives.
We've got to be intimate with God. That is what
God is asking of us. We all want to see God do
great things. I do too. But I feel like the Spirit
of the Lord is saying, just hunger for me. Get
back to what is the main priority. Get back to
just wanting me. And what I have found that if
we'll just invite him and love on him, he has
everything that we need. If we can just get in
his presence, get him right where we are in our
situations, he's gonna supply everything that
we have need of. Do you believe it, church? Amen.
Just as our bodies crave food and water for survival,
so does our souls. They must long for the righteousness
of God. Physical hunger is not really anything
that I need to tell anybody in this room about.
It is one of the most powerful and undeniable
forces in the human body. Probably a majority
of you're sitting here hungry now. I know I am
and so is my husband because I did not feed him
supper. So I know what the man is feeling. He's
used to eating at four o 'clock in the day. You
know what hunger feels like. I don't have to
tell you that. You don't have to teach a baby
to cry when it's hungry. And you don't need someone
to remind you to eat after you've skipped a few
meals. Your body will send signals. There may
be weakness, discomfort, even pain until you
respond. Physical hunger, it is natural. It is
built into us by God for survival. And spiritual
hunger, however, it operates differently. Physical
hunger, it's automatic. When God created humanity
in the beginning, He designed our bodies with
needs. Hunger is evidence of life. Did you hear
that? Hunger is evidence of life. A healthy body,
it gets hungry. And what we know is when someone
never feels hunger, doctors grow concerned because
it signals that something is wrong. Are you hungry,
church? In the same way, appetite reveals health.
But here's the difference. Physical hunger returns
on its own. You can ignore it for a while, but
it will come back. It demands attention. Spiritual
hunger does not always demand attention. You
can neglect prayer. You can avoid the word. You
can skip worship. And guess what? Your flesh
will not protest at all. It will be just fine
with that. You don't have to worry about it.
And that's why spiritual hunger must be cultivated.
Spiritual hunger must be developed. I said it
before, you'll only have this spiritual hunger
if you are full of the Holy Ghost. You must be
filled with the Holy Ghost. If you are in this
house tonight and you have never been filled
with the Spirit of God, don't leave this house
empty. Don't leave this house without it because
it is for you. And in doing so, in receiving
the Spirit of the Living God, you will hunger
and thirst after the things that He has for you
and you will live a blessed life. When Jesus
said in the gospel of Matthew five and six blester
they wish to hunger and thirst after righteousness
for they shall be filled He was not talking about
an accidental craving. He was describing a deliberate
growing appetite for God The word hunger there
implies an ongoing desire a deep craving How
many of you have had a craving if there's any
pregnant mamas in here You know when you got
a hunger you got a craving for something Nothing
is going to satisfy that until you get what you
want For me it was pickles and ranch dressing.
I know, ooh gross, but nothing was satisfying
that I had a craving and I had to have it. And
that's what God wants from each and every one
of us in this house tonight. He wants us to hunger
after Him with such an intensity in our souls
that nothing else is gonna do until we just get
everything that we can from Him. Unlike physical
hunger, I want you to know that your spiritual
appetite can be doled. Just as junk food can
suppress a desire for healthy food, worldly distractions
can suppress a desire for God. If someone constantly
feeds on entertainment, if you constantly feed
on busyness, if you constantly feed on fleshly
desires, You may not feel hungry for righteousness.
Not because you're full of God, but because you're
so full of everything else. Losing a hunger for
God is usually a gradual thing. It doesn't just
happen like that. It's a slow fade. It's little
by little. And just like your physical body has
hunger signals, so does your soul. There are
signs that your spiritual appetite has doled.
Prayer feels empty. It's forced. When you're
starving, when you're hungry, and you have no
appetite for the things of God, you're empty.
Prayer feels forced. It's empty. You pray, but
it feels like routine. It's lifeless. Or it's
like a chore rather than a conversation with
your Maker. Your prayers, they just lack passion.
There's no expectation. There's no desire for
intimacy with Him. When you are spiritually dull,
when that hunger, that appetite in you has become
dull, scripture just becomes boring. Reading
the Bible feels like reading a manual instead
of hearing God speak to you. You struggle to
concentrate or you skip over verses instead of
meditating on them. You lack a desire for worship
or fellowship. You avoid corporate worship. You
avoid your life groups or you just attend with
no engagement at all. Musing and singing or praying
with others doesn't stir your heart like it used
to. Compromise starts feeling acceptable. Choices
that you once knew were clearly wrong. Now they
feel normal or less concerning. Your conscience
may feel dull. or you rationalize your actions
that pull you away from God. Your life feels
empty without Him. You seek fulfillment in temporary
things, work, relationships, hobbies, possessions.
You know the thing. But there's no lasting satisfaction
in those things. When your appetite has become
dull, you rarely long for God. Hunger for God
is often audible. It is a heart that cries, more
of you, Jesus. More of you, Jesus. I've got to
have more of you, Lord. I'm not satisfied. I
need more, God. And if your heart rarely longs
for God, if it rarely thirsts for His presence,
church, that hunger may have faded. Hunger for
God isn't something that comes naturally forever.
It must be cultivated. Even the most faithful,
even those that have lived for the Lord the longest,
this can happen if you stop feeding your spirit
with prayer, scripture, worship, and godly fellowship.
I know for me, I've had the Holy Ghost almost
21 years, February the 27th, it'll be 21 years.
I've got to stir myself up. I've got to shake
myself. I can come and just get so complacent.
But I've got to stir myself. I've got to give
an account. You're responsible for what you bring
to the Lord. Come hungry. We've all heard this.
You are what you eat. Does that scare you? For
my little emeline, it would be potatoes. Sorry,
she's hearing. I'm glad you're not a potato.
This can be applied spiritually as much as physically.
Just like your body is shaped by the food you
consume, your spirit is shaped by what you feed
it. Your thoughts, your words, your attention,
and what you allow into your heart. If you feed
your mind with negativity, doubt, or worldly
distractions, your spirit will become heavy and
it will become weak. And just like junk food,
it nourishes the body temporarily, knocks off
the hunger, but it weakens over time. Spiritual
junk, which is like envy and bitterness and gossip,
it can seem satisfying at first, but it slowly
harms your spiritual well -being. If you feed
your mind with God's Word, If you feed it with
prayer, if you feed it with worship and fellowship,
your spirit will grow strong, it will be alive,
and it will be aligned with God. Jesus said in
Matthew 4 and 4, man shall not live by bread
alone but by every word that proceeds from the
mouth of God. Our souls are designed to be nourished
by God's truth just as our bodies crave real
food. The more you feast on God's word, the more
your thoughts, attitudes, and actions reflect
his character. Spiritual hunger, church, grows
when you consistently expose yourself to God's
presence. It is so important, church, every day,
every day, every day, every day. Don't miss a
day until you've been in his presence. Don't
get up from that place until you know you've
touched him and he has touched you. It has to
be a desire. There's no compromising that there's
no questioning that there's no like if if if
no it's a must church It's a must Your spiritual
hunger will grow when you fast nobody likes it
Nobody likes it, but it's important It's important
Spiritual hunger grows when you spend time in
his word when you obey what he speaks Obey what
he asks. Don't run from conviction. If God is
telling you to do something, if he's convicting
you, don't brush that off. Yield to that. Submit
yourself to that. Be obedient to that. Because
if you don't heed to that over and over and over
and over, that voice is just going to get silent,
silent, silent. And guess what? You'll find yourself
doing things you never imagined that you would
do. So if God comes knocking on your heart and
he's convicting you of something, change, stop
what you're doing. He loves you. Whom the Lord
loves, he corrects. If he's correcting you about
something, he loves you. Listen to what he says.
The more you taste of God, the more you want
him. Can some of the elders say amen? Amen. Not
quite an elder, but I'll say amen. What you feed
grows. If you need proof, just look at your children.
The Apostle Paul contrasts the works of the flesh
and the fruit of the spirit in Galatians 5, 19
through 25. I'll read through it quickly. Now
the works of the flesh are manifest, which are
these, adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciveness,
idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations,
wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, endings,
murders, drunkenness, revelings, and such like.
of the which I'll tell you before as I have also
told you in times past that they do they which
do such things shall not inherit the kingdom
of God but the fruit of the spirit is love joy
peace long -suffering gentleness goodness faith
meekness temperance against such there is no
law and they that are Christ have crucified the
flesh with the affections and lust if we live
in the spirit let us also walk in the spirit
the flesh has its own appetites and they are
not automatic excuse me they are automatic No
one has to teach the flesh to crave pride and
envy and lust and selfishness. That appetite
is natural to fallen humanity. But the fruit
of the spirit, we said it, love, joy, peace,
long -suffering, gentleness, you heard them.
These come from feeding the spirit. Cultivating
a hunger for righteousness isn't something that
happens automatically. It is a spiritual discipline.
It is a posture of the heart and a deliberate
pursuit of God's presence. It's about training
your spirit to desire what God desires, much
like you train your body to crave healthy food.
When you pray every day, even on days that you
don't feel like it, you are teaching your spirit
to long for God. When you worship beyond what's
easy or convenient, you are expanding the hunger
of your soul. When you fast, you are reminding
your body you're not in control, God is. And
over time, What was once discipline, it becomes
a desire. You'll find yourself desiring those
things. Fasting, like really, you're gonna find
yourself desiring those things. I said it before,
hunger is a sign of life. A spirit that is spiritually
alive will naturally crave purity, truth, and
holiness. Imagine a plant in a dry pot. If that
soil becomes dry, what happens? That plant withers,
it wilts, but the moment that it senses water,
its leaves perk up and they reach toward the
light and its roots stretch deeper. Spiritually,
hunger is the root system of revival, and without
it, life stagnates. Revival does not come to
a congregation that is comfortable, that is indifferent,
or full of spiritual complacency. Jesus warned
about this in Revelations 3, 15 through 16, speaking
to the church in Laodicea. He says, I know thy
works that thou art neither cold nor hot. I would
thou were hot or cold. So then because thou art
lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew
thee out of my mouth. One of the most dangerous
spiritual conditions, yes rebellion is one, but
it's also apathy. Apathy is a state of indifference
or a lack of feeling, interest, or concern about
something that normally would matter. In a spiritual
context, apathy often describes a person who
doesn't care about growing closer to God, pursuing
holiness, or responding to spiritual matters.
They're emotionally and spiritually disengaged.
Heaven view, we must make it our priority to
be like the early church in the book of Acts,
the church who hungered for God's presence. And
just as they devoted themselves to prayer, to
fellowship, and the word, we must do the same.
As I was preparing for this message, these are
the thoughts that I couldn't get away from. When
a baby cries for food, it's not silent. Every
one of us has experienced a baby that's hungry
and what that sounds like. The sound rises from
the depths of its being. It's desperate, it's
unmistakable, and it is persistent. That cry
is more than noise. It is an announcement to
the world that something inside is empty, that
something is desperate to be filled. And our
spirits were created the same way, just as our
bodies... hunger and thirst for sustenance, our
soul's hunger and thirst for God. And just like
physical hunger, spiritual hunger has a sound.
It's the groaning of the heart in need of mercy.
It's the tears of a soul longing for God's presence.
It's the persistent cry of faith refusing to
be silent, even when the crowd tells it to be
quiet. The Bible is full of people whose spiritual
hunger could be heard. Their cries rose up from
their deepest need and God responded powerfully,
transforming their lives and satisfying their
souls. Look at Hannah. Hannah was deeply distressed
because she could not have children. Her soul
was in anguish and she prayed with such intensity
that the Lord remembered her. Her hunger for
a child and of God's favor came out in tears
and in earnest pleading and God answered by giving
her Samuel who would become a prophet Look at
David in the Psalms David frequently expressed
a raw vocal hunger for God in Psalms 42 1 through
2 He says as the deer pants for streams of water
so my soul pants for you my God my soul thirsts
for God for the living God You could almost hear
the longing in his cries. His need for God's
presence was palpable, and God consistently met
with him. Look at blind Bartimaeus. He cried
out with persistence, refusing to be silent.
He said, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy
on me. The crowd tried to hush him, but his hunger
for healing and an encounter with the Messiah
could not be stifled. And Jesus responded immediately,
restoring both his sight and his life. How much
more would God do those things for us if we could
just come with a hunger and a deep desire for
him? In closing, I want to share with you why
I titled this sermon, Hunger Has a Sound. And
before you think I've lost my mind, I promise
you that I have not, I have heard from the Lord.
I have heard from the Lord Church What you're
hearing there and what you're feeling is what
I felt from the Lord. You see, last Wednesday
I was supposed to come and deliver this word
to you. I couldn't really explain to you what
happened to me last Tuesday and Wednesday, but
it doesn't matter because it brought us to this
moment. And when Brother Mark Fowler reached
out and asked me would I come and speak this
Wednesday, I immediately said yes knowing what
I wrestled with the week prior. And I began to
hunger after God. And I began to ask the Lord,
God, what is it that you're asking me to share?
And day after day, I've just spent this week
just reaching for him, and he would just drop
things in my spirit. I thought I had it all together.
Yesterday, around 3 .34 o 'clock, I was sitting
there in my room, and I could feel the Lord moving
upon me to pray. And as I began to pray, I felt
him drawing me to this video. And some of you
may recognize it. It was back in July of 2022.
It was when our young people stood in this sanctuary
and ushered us into the presence of God. And
I want to tell you that hunger that was in this
sanctuary was just as powerful to me as it was
when God filled me with the Holy Ghost. I have
not forgotten that because you see, I was in
a terrible situation in my life. I was going
through the pits. But I stood in this sanctuary
with such a hunger for God, as well as everybody
that filled this sanctuary who was there that
night. If you were there, you know what I'm talking
about. You experienced it. It changed me. I haven't
forgotten it. And that's what God wants from
us church. Every time that we come into this
sanctuary, don't treat it just like it's something
casual. Don't take it for granted. Don't just
come in and out of here all the time and just
not desire to be changed. If you'll just surrender
everything to Him, if you'll just hunger after
Him, I promise you, you'll never thirst, you'll
never be hungry. He'll satisfy every need that
you have. There's something inside of us that
only Jesus can satisfy. I'm sorry it seems so
heavy, but it does seem as if the Lord has come
in to prick our hearts. And it's what we need.
We need to be reminded of why we live for Him,
why we serve Him. We need to be reminded of that
first love that we had when we first came to
Him. If you've lost that, this is a good time
for you just to talk to the Lord about it. because
He wants you to have that hunger in your heart.
If you all stand, the musicians may come. I know
that there's a hunger in your heart or you wouldn't
be here tonight. I want you to know that God
wants to fill everything in your life that feels
empty. If you're empty, if you're just feeling
empty tonight, you're in the perfect place. That's
the right way to feel because when you come to
this altar, if you'll come hungry, God will feel
you. I want to invite you to come to this altar.
And as you come, don't take it as if it's just
another Wednesday night church because I'm telling
you, you've heard from the Lord tonight. So come
to this altar. If you need to repent, repent.
If you need to ask God just to stir a hunger
in you for His word, for righteousness, just
to take anything out of your life that's not
like Him, ask Him. He is here to hear you tonight.
You have an audience with the King of Kings.
He's come to touch each and every one of you
in a personal way. Remember, hunger has a sound.
You've got to lift up your voice, church. You
heard the the audio you heard that sound
