Are you Hungry for God? • Hopelessly infatuated with God, we have God on the brain. • Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. • Spend time listening, WAIT upon the Lord. 1 John 1:5-8 • You can listen to some one talk and tell a lot about how well they know God. • You can tell a lot about your fellowship with God, just by your fellowship/relationship with other people. • Three indicators/gauges of your fellowship with God are: 1. Joy.  Show me someone that does not have joy and I’ll show you someone that’s not in fellowship with God. 2. Peace  Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts… 3.
