text conversation with a friend from church:
Hey Gurl,
The Spirit just spoke to me in a vision and it was a declaration for you,
"your appetite is mine, your hunger is mine, and your consumption is mine."
As I lingered in prayer... I saw a vision of you at Jesus' banquet table. But your mouth was a screwed up, like that scene in the Matrix where his mouth did this funky disappearing thing, but I could see in your eyes that you were confused. But I sensed your experience there was about your appetite, and not what naturally follows it.... Hunger and thirst and eventually sitting and consuming. "I want your appetite!" is the shout that ended the vision.
Where is this fitting into where He's shepherding your heart?
me:
Holy Cow ... this is so awesome and helpful!!! I had a word from the Lord on Monday night - He said, "I want you hungry"... I have been praying and reading trying to understand but haven't gotten very far... Other than that line from Allender's article that says that the prophet lives the message - which has been running in my head over and over again. And the Beattitudes verse - blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be satisfied.
What do you mean you 'sensed my experience there was about appetite and not what naturally flows?'
her:
This is me explaining the best I can here... not the Lord: your appetite/craving is without reference to your hunger. Hunger will follow after your cravings of intense desire are engaged further in His holiness. In essence, I was sensing that what precedes the hunger--craving, was the first layer into the revelation about why you must trust Jesus to show you why your hunger is crucial to your prophetic calling... a place that leads you to not soothe, but to crave, then to hunger, then to consume. Not sure I am making this any clearer. But there's a flow, a sequential flow.
me:
Thank you... I will think this thru
