Download Hunger for God: Desiring God Through Fasting and Prayer AudioBook Free
There can be an urge for food for God. And it can be awakened. I request you to carefully turn from the dulling effects of food and the hazards of idolatry, also to say with some simple fast: "This much, O God, I want you." Our appetites dictate the direction of our lives--whether it be the desires of our stomachs, the keen desire for belongings or power, or the longings of our spirits for God. But for the Christian, the food cravings for anything besides God is definitely an arch-enemy. While our food cravings for God--and Him alone--is the thing that will bring victory. Have you got that food cravings for Him? As John Piper sets it: "If we don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it isn't because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. For the reason that we have nibbled such a long time at the stand of the world. Our spirit is filled with small things, and there is no room for the fantastic." If we are filled with the particular world offers, then perhaps an easy might exhibit, or even increase, our soul's urge for food for God. Between the hazards of self-denial and self-indulgence is this way of pleasurable pain called fasting. It is the way John Piper invites you to visit in this e book. For when God is the supreme food cravings of your heart and soul, He will be supreme in everything. And when you are most satisfied in Him, He will be most glorified in you.
