I too had and indeed have this same hunger. To KNOW Him! The scripturte plainly shows that Jesus prayed this very prayer for us and I believe ALL His prayers are answered YES to those that will remain faithful and not allow discouragment and trials to steal our desire to seek or ability. I find that prayer and reading of the scripture, though there are hard periods of time with nothing coming forth, is the key to this. While we keep our focus on Christ as in Hebrews 12:1-3, He is faithful to our desire to know Him and also to understand His ways. My hunger increases with accordence to the receiving of revelation. Revelation increases hunger, then through more hunger I receive more revelation. He is GOOD! I find that the more I know Him, the more I understand I do not know Him. I know this will be understood by those that have been given by God an unquenchable desire for Him. He Transcendant Majesty and awesomeness is beyonf our human nature to understand, yet He is the One who changes us to be enabled to, by His Holy Spirit and the changes He makes in us into Christs image, we go from glory to glory! God is Holy! This means He is totally other than anything common, other than anything created. He is infinately different from all that we know in the flesh. His attributes are eternal and infinate. Even the Seriphim (The Firey Ones) hold their wings over their faces because of His glory, the multitudes sing praises and lift up their hands only to fall down again to their faces in one more revelation of just who God is that they cannot stand in, and this will be the same in a billion billion years! How AWESOME is He! Can anything enter into the mind of man that can give proper representation of God? Only by the Holy Spirit can we even come close to a beginning of this knowledge. And yet, Jesus, clothed forever in humanity, will radiate the very fulness of Almighty God through His face throughout eternity! And we dear saints will have this very same glorified body when we are with Him! Oh God! We should all shout continually in adoration at the very life you have blessed us with. To even concider man at all! Blessed are we! Peace in Christ from a true Jesus fanatic. Madly in love with my Bridegroom..... Peace in Christ......................... Jesus l
