Hungry for More
Manage episode 479223596 series 2911151
Something is stirring in the hearts of believers across the world. A divine hunger, planted by God Himself, calling us beyond the comfortable confines of what many have accepted as the Christian life.
Have you felt it? That nagging sense that there must be more to following Jesus than simply being good until you die and go to heaven? You're not alone, and you're not crazy. The stirring you feel is the voice of God calling you deeper into His kingdom reality—not just as a future hope, but as a present experience.
For too long, many Christians have lived like trained elephants with invisible chains. As baby elephants, they were limited by real restraints until they stopped trying to break free. Even when the chains were removed, leaving only a bracelet, they remained bound by the memory of limitation. This powerful metaphor reflects how many believers have accepted artificial boundaries on God's power working through them. The good news? Those limitations are lies. The prison doors are open.
The Book of Acts wasn't the conclusion of God's kingdom expression—it was just the beginning. What makes Christianity vibrant and attractive isn't our list of "don'ts" but the supernatural life of God actively flowing through us. That's what draws people to Jesus: believers who function with confidence in God's power, demonstrating His love through signs, wonders, and authentic community.
This unfolding of kingdom power requires something often missing in church culture: the freedom to try, fail, and grow. Like any product development, spiritual growth happens through "research and development"—spaces where we can explore the gifts of the Spirit without fear of criticism when our attempts aren't perfect. It's easier to steer a moving car than a parked one.
If you're hungry for more, know that God is positioning you to connect with others who share this same passion. The cry within you comes from Him, and He will satisfy it. Ready to break free from religious routine and step into the empowering grace that makes the Christian life the most engaging adventure possible? Let's journey together into the unfolding kingdom.
