The lavishness of Gods love and Spiritual hunger

1) Saw a tall waterfall with a tiny helicopter and an impression of the words, I will pour out my Spirit.

2) The increased capacity and spiritual hunger to know more of God comes not only from the cross - the desire for sin to be cleansed and to be free.

But a greater work is done in the heart which is baptised in the lavishness of God's love for us - the height, depth, length and breadth of Gods love when we see it and experience it - enlarges our heart, causes us to hunger more and more for His holiness, greatness, goodness, grace and abundance - that love points us to heaven where God is, where the greatness of His blessing flows, it points us to the source, to God himself where hunger is satisfied.

Eph 3:16-19

16that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 
18may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.


Its the experience of the living revelation that the Holy Spirit that brings of God's love that allows us to grow into the fullness of the likeness of the Father.


How to be changed into Christ's image:

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness they shall be filled.

1) desire for righteousness is foremost. 2) Righteousness is being righteous as God is righteous, being conformed into the image of Christ. How are we formed into His image?

Eph 3:16-19

16that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

3) Its the experience of the living revelation that the Holy Spirit that brings God's love that allows us to grow into the fullness of the likeness of the Father.
