Happy Hunger

Happiness comes in the Hunger (for God/Righteousness/being in right standing or relationship with Him and others).

TRUE HIS-Story

“I am an historian, I am not a Believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless Preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history.” Historian AND Famous Sci-fi Writer, H. G. Wells (italics and bold added by me).

NEW God…

GOD is new every morning (and moment), just like His mercies are (toward us).

Fast, Toward Home!

“Christian fasting, at its root, is the hunger of a homesickness for God.” John Piper.

LIFE is Love.

The LIFE of God IS the LOVE of God and, therefore, His extravagant, exhilarating and transformative Power. dkb. “God IS Love.” Apostle John, in I John 4:8, 16.

Hurry, Make it (a) Fast!

“Almost everywhere, at all times, fasting has held a place of great importance, since it is closely linked with the intimate sense of religion. Perhaps this is the explanation for the demise of fasting in our day. When the sense of God diminishes, fasting disappears.” Edward Farrell, as quoted in The Book on Prayer, pg. 280, by Ken Gurley.

‘Fast’ POWER!

“God’s chosen fast changes the spiritual climate (in your life and world). Fasting, along (or coupled) with prayer (though fasting in and of itself can be a form of powerful, silent praying), can move you from being a cloud-watcher to (becoming) a rainmaker, from being reactive to proactive, from being a thermometer (in)to (becoming) a thermostat. Fasting can change everything! Pastor/Writer Ken Gurley, The Book on Prayer, pg. 280 (italics, words in parenthesis and exclamation point added by me, Denny Beckham, 4/11/25).
