INTERLUDE (feat. Corey Russell) [Live]

Matthew 5, Jesus said

Blessed are those who hunger

And thirst for righteousness

They will be filled

There's an irreversible law in the kingdom

It doesn't matter your background

Your gifts, or your, where you come from

There's an irreversible law in the kingdom

The ones who hunger, they will be filled

The ones who reach, you will find

The ones who seek, you will find

The ones who knock, the door will be opened

God honors hunger

God honors the reach

God honors eye contact

We're not just singing songs at Him

We're singing to Him

If there's one thing

Jesus made clear through the gospels

It's that He simply does things for hungry people

He doesn't do for everybody else

In Mark 10, Jesus came into Jericho

And as He was leaving Jericho

There was this blind man

By the name of Bartimaeus

And Bartimaeus had been born blind

And he had heard

Jesus, the Son of David was coming through

And there was a divine intersection, a window

There was a window of time

To where the Son of God

Was about to walk through His city

And this blind man could hear Him

He couldn't see, but he could hear

And he began to cry out at the top of his lungs

Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me

Son of David, have mercy on me

And everybody around him began

To tell him to be quiet

I believe that the devil has worked

Overtime in these last years

To shut the mouth of the hungered ones

To stifle the cry

But I believe that there is a cry being born

In this place, I keep hearing it over and over again

The Lord is birthing a new cry for a new season

There's a new prayer for a new season

People are coming out of addictions and bondages

They've been blind and there's a cry to see again

And even when the spirit of religion

Or the spirit of the world

Begins to tell them to shut up

The bible says that Bartimaeus began

To cry out all the more

Will we press through all the opposition?

Will we cry out?

And the bible says that Jesus stood still

And the very ones that told him

To be quiet are now saying, "rise up"

He wants to talk to you

He runs to Jesus and Jesus says

I don't need to know your name or anything else

What do you want me to do for you?

And He said, I want to see

I believe that there is a cry

For revelation that's awakening

I believe that the eye south of the Holy Spirit

Is being applied to the hearts of a generation

Blessed are the pure at heart

See, friends, I believe that God is

Blessing us with spiritual hunger

We've become way too domesticated

The ones that are called to be

Lions have become kittens

But I believe God is awakening

A roar in a generation

I believe He's awakening a cry from the depths

That's going to break off domestication

That's going to break off the fear of man

That's going to break off pleasing everybody

There's beginning to be a real cry

That's beginning to awaken

In a generation, I want God

Let's ask Him, the greatest gift

That God could give you

Would be the gift of hungering for Him

Let's ask Him tonight to bless us

This is hunger, it's the revelation of your need

It's the revelation of your need

Oh, friends, He's going to awaken it

He's going to take a generation in the most prosperous

With the most options, inundated with the most images

And He's going to deliver us from the illusions

He's going to deliver us from the fantasies

He's going to deliver us from the false comforts

And He's going to awaken the God cry

Blessed are those who mourn, they shall be comforted

Father, release the spirit of revelation

Open our eyes, open our ears

Awaken the God cry
