I was running away from God for so long. Pursuing things of the world. And all I found was emptiness. Pain. Heartache. And I came up completely empty. Until, I finally surrendered and sought after Jesus. He was running after me and now I run after Him and now I can say I’m content. Happy. I abide in Him and He abides in me. Staying faithful to Jesus is the only thing I want to pursue. Thank you Pastor Chris for this message.
Blessed are they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled. When the prodigal son was hungry, he went to feed on the husks, but when he was starving, he went to his Father. Yes, that's what Jesus is talking about, the kind of desperation that only God can satisfy. Not until people hunger and thirst after righteousness do they seek the fulfillment that God can give.
Thanks for braking down the word Chris because these scriptures have been repeated and stated several times but many believers don’t understand the word. There is a difference if you don’t understand it’s hard to do it in its entirety.
The world can't really handle somebody who's poor in spirit because the world lives in a state of pride, in a state of self-promotion and ego-substantiation. The world can't tolerate somebody who is mourning over sinfulness. The world wants to bypass sin altogether and continue to convince itself that it's all right. The world can't tolerate meekness; it honors pride, and the world can't tolerate somebody who knows he's nothing and seeks something that can only be given as a gift. The world says that we have the right to everything because we've earned it. The world knows little about mercy, the world knows nothing about purity, and the world has never learned how to make peace. And all of these characteristics, when they exist in the believer, as they progressively bloom within his or her life, counter the system flagrantly. And that's the way it is going to be if you live out the Beatitudes.

Love this guy. The staff at plantation is top notch. Ft. Lauderdale has turned into a popularity contest. Great message though.
