Milk Does A Body Good (Part 2)

Milk Does A Body Good (Part 2)
2As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 1 Peter 2:2 KJV.
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, 3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. 1 Peter 2:2 NIV

To desire something is to have a strong feeling that moves you to do whatever it takes to attain or possess that thing. To desire is to hunger, to thirst, crave, long and to yearn. Desire is a persistent uneasiness that lingers until that need is met.
Mark 10:45, 46, 47 reads thusly, 46And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. 47And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
Listen at this in Luke chapter 19, Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town. 2 There was a man there named Zacchaeus. He was the chief tax collector in the region, and he had become very rich. 3 He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road, for Jesus was going to pass that way. 5 When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name. Zacchaeus, he said. “Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today.

Look at the woman in Mark 5 verse 25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
These had this in common – a strong desire for a need to be met. Bartimaeus cried out. Zaccheus climbed a tree. The woman with the issue of blood pressed through a crowd. These had an attitude. They all took a position on not letting go of God until they received their blessing. Nothing was going to separate them from having what God said they could have. If God said I can be healed, delivered and set free. If God said I can be saved, I going after it. (To be continued)
