There’s a Price — How Hungry Are You?
Our Hunger for God and true fulfillment happens because we are striving towards the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus — and in mastery of the divine call, we may have to leave everything behind…
There’s a Choice and a Price for the divine call and how much we want.
Becoming super sensitive to The Holy Ghost is a journey in our love relationship with our redeemer.
Seeking The LORD with our whole heart is to follow hard after Him — He must be the motivation of our heart.
We are transitioning and clicking into placement by faith. Our desire is to be everything God wants as we yield to Him more and more daily.
It’s not about an ankle deep faith that the river of life continues flowing, but we need to hear the call “deep calls unto deep” to swim and go deeper with The LORD.
All of us face unique challenges when we wake up each day and walk out that door. The concerns and cares of life that keep us in the world but not of the world is really a harvest field.
Each day we must pray that The LORD releases His power in us so that we recognize the fields are white ready for harvest!
Each of you has a purpose and God has the plan! Be aware that your time is valuable, and the enemy will continue to try to keep us sidetracked and distracted concerning our purpose and destiny.
How is our own heart? Are we hungry for God? There’s a price if we want God’s purpose and His plan. For some it’s 30, some it’s 60 and 100-fold.
“Therefore, hear the parable of the sewer: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” Matthew 13:18-23 NKJV.
In seeking The LORD daily through prayer, meditation, praying in The Holy Ghost and study of the Bible ensures us that we have done all things in reaching out to God and he rewards those who diligently seek Him.
God knows us better than we know ourselves and we must have the right motives of the heart. The LORD will never go against his word. His word is forever settled in heaven.
When we repent, pray, study God ‘s word, push away some meals and spend time fasting we will find him if we seek him with our whole heart.
There are motives that The LORD has been showing me that we’ve got to watch out for daily.
One of them is pride, and close behind is haughtiness and arrogance. God wants us to die daily to our flesh and to walk in holiness.
What took Satan down in the initial sin was pride in seeking a place with ambition to sit as God.
Just like the ambitions the disciples had wanting to sit at The LORD’s right hand. Selfish ambition cannot be part of who you become.
Service to God is not Ambition and having a church is not like running a business. It’s about love and laying down our lives as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable which is our reasonable service. Service and serving is our task.
There are too many people out there that say they are of God and the fruit is Rotten and we’re supposed to judge by the fruit of the spirit, and by the word of God.
Deception is a daily weapon the enemy tries to throw into a lot of places. We must remain vigilant for our adversary; the devil goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he can devour.
Resist him steadfast in the faith! We are overcomers!
Yesterday as I sought The LORD, I saw an old-fashioned blacksmith, and a very hot fire pit and various pieces of metal and a hammer.
The Holy Ghost spoke to me and said is not My word as a fire and as a hammer that breaks rocks in pieces?
I saw this blacksmith taking the chosen piece of twisted metal. It was not formed yet, but the blacksmith was taking it with heated tools and putting it in the fire until it was red hot then he would pull it out and hammer it.
Once he hammered it to the degree he could, he would stick it in the water to try to see if it was lining up according to his measure.
I had to die daily… I had to die to what I was.
Yes, we must Yield our bodies, our souls and spirit.
God is wanting to send true revival, but much of the church in America isn’t ready.
God sends revival to wake up the church and to open sleepy eyes to what deception the enemy is trying to get us into so we can reject it.
In this hour God is setting things in divine order for us, and we’ve got to be about the father’s business to win souls and to spur on the people into discipleship and remain close and obedient to The LORD.
God is all about saving and winning people.
It’s not about who’s who and if we’re still looking for some sort of recognition, or to be famous and well known on the platforms of man we must die to the flesh.
God knows our heart. We must ask God where he wants to place us and not assume Hollywood in the church on YouTube.
There’s so many people that are deceived and demons are more faithful to those types of churches! Satan fears a Holy Ghost filled people of prayer, fasting, and obedience to God; a people that seek God with their whole heart!
Of all the things the enemy fears, he fears the believer who knows who they are and knows what they have and knows how to use it in Jesus’ name!
The LORD has a message, of sobering indifference, He is showing us the condition of much of the church for when there is no divine revelation, people cast off moral and all restraints.
Who will yield to the process of the blacksmith hammering and the furnace of affliction the process he is taking us through.
He is making us as a double edge sword of offense and defense! When it is applied to a believer, it’s as a scalpel that brings surgery, healing, and wholeness to people.
I want you to see how the process was. The blacksmith took the weapon of warfare and continued to stick it in the fire, then to hammer it into the shape and then the process of sticking it in the water to cool it, to handle it, to see if the tool was being formed correctly.
Once it was completely formed as The LORD said we are his weapon of warfare.
He has made us to be more than conquerors in Christ.
The LORD wants us to live, eat, drink, sleep, work, fight and do everything as unto The LORD!
The LORD wants us to walk closely with him for his sheep hear his voice and the voice of a stranger they will not follow.
There is a spirit that I have noticed over the course of learning in my life and in the church that has been prevalent.
A Jezebel spirit operates by witchcraft and what follows is manipulation and control. That’s just some of the spirits that work through that Jezebel spirit. Jezebel hates true prophetic gift for she or he sits up to establish their own agenda, stronghold, and platform.
Her threats put fear into Elijah right after God proved who heard God and he ran away. Jezebel didn’t know it, but God has had enough of her, and the control of the platform and the people.
Her hour was nearly spent and suddenly God spoke and she was taken out.
We have to be aware and listen and see everything that God wants. We are his battle axe and his weapon of warfare and when we see what God wants to happen, we must obey. God wants us to do greater things in this hour for greater works shall you do when Jesus went to the Father.
When The Holy Ghost came on the day of Pentecost it opened the door for the Baptism of Fire that John the Baptist spoke of.
“But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” Matthew 3:7-12 NKJV,
We must put to death the deeds of the flesh, sin, and iniquity, for when we learn to die daily only HE can live!
He must increase and we must decrease. I’m not saying I’m perfect, but I am doing my best to keep myself from being distracted from the cares of this life.
As his battleax and his weapon of warfare we’ve been commissioned and there’s spiritual warfare going on.
There’s a lot of people that say we don’t need to fight anymore that Jesus did it all, but they are sadly mistaken.
There are principalities and powers, rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in the heavenly realms that we deal with these things daily.
Satan will ignore you and never look your way if he’s got a hold of you and you’re doing what he wants.
But when you are trying to walk as closely as you can to The LORD all hell will try to stop you.
Don’t let it happen. Shake it off. Tell it all to go in The Name of Jesus Christ.
In HIS Grace and Mercy,

Sherry, thank you for another wonderful post. I printed one of your posts years ago. You made the statement “don’t respond like the devil”, which opened my eyes. Since I’ve tried to do as Jesus said, “a soft answer turns away wrath”.
God bless you Sherry!
Thank you Sherry and yes I agree! <3
Amen and amen!

Hey Pam, I want to thank you for taking the time to encourage me. Thank you for sharing that you recognize what the Holy Spirit is saying as there is so much deception out there. In all humility I am so grateful that God has sent you the words HE gives me. The enemy is busy in trying to provoke pride and ego in many prophets or ministers to distort truth in messages to undermine ministry. I desire to hunger after the Lord and so careful to give HIM the glory! Thanks again as I so appreciate your words, thank you again. God bless you and much love to you Pam <3 sister Sherry
