"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33, KJV. This should be the disposition of every Christian, who desires to be used by the Lord. Such a person must be willing to go through the process of discipleship, which will qualify him or her to have a pure appreciation of the Lord’s Kingdom and what He seeks to do in the earth. This process, which entails applying the Word of God lawfully in every aspect of life, purges a man's desire to truly work for the Lord. A man whose desires have been purged by the Lord has a proper hunger for righteousness and thus, desires good, first in himself, and then in others also. There is no short-cut to this. Discipleship births apostleship.
No matter how challenging this may seem, the Lord’s promise to us is that He will not send us away fasting – no genuine and persistent desire of man to be used by the Lord, will go unattended to.
In this message, "He Will Not Send You Away Fasting", Pastor Jeffrey Walter explains how the Kingdom of God is birthed in a man through the purging of his evil desires. He demonstrates how to access the Lord's compassion, and how if a man persists long enough, his hunger (desire) will be satisfied by the Lord, who is already willing to fill and use him.
If you do not cheat concerning applying yourself to the Word of God, your victory is certain. Hallelujah!

11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
