…it begins at the cross.

We come to understand at some point that we were weak, too weak to live life on our own. Our next understanding comes when we realize the cross, Jesus, and that God alone is the satisfier of our deep need. As we truly understood this need for Jesus, and the work that took place on the cross to set us free, it permeates us at our core, it deepens our hunger for the person of Jesus; it frees and releases us from this world and the things that entangle our souls. We begin craving life in Him and with Him. It becomes an addiction, giving us an intense desire that surpasses emotion, to be intimate with Jesus, commune with the Holy Spirit, and make God famous in all of the earth. Even in our failures and weaknesses something rises up that screams I am starving for Jesus, I need Him, I love Him with all of me, He is the answer for the world. It fills us and satisfies us beyond comprehension as we let Him do His work in our lives and we learn to commune with Him. In this place, gratitude and faith rise up and we begin to see that there are others that desperately need to be set free. Some that need freedom are those that have never known God and His love before. Others are children of God that are living like orphans, completely bound and tired of the whole thing. This is where we learn to weep. To cry out with faith and fervency, “God, we need You alone, pour out Your spirit”. - Charlie Hall
