This first video answers a question that's at the heart of why I created Hungry 4 Jesus: What does it really mean to have a relationship with Jesus? You can know about Jesus for years. You can know the Bible stories, go to church, and know what He did for you. But Jesus invites us to something deeper. He invites us to know Him. That's what we're beginning to explore in this video—and it's only the beginning. If you've ever thought, “I want to know Jesus more,” this one is for you. Know Him. Walk with Him. Grow together.

A prayer that we should pray each day is to have a clean heart and the right spirit. We can't have a clean heart and right spirit without God's help. Have a clean heart helps and the right spirit challenges us to do whatever we do with the right motives. When we have a clean heart, we live, give, serve, and love without expecting anything in return. So, let us pray each day for a clean heart and the right spirit so that we will share the love of God from a genuine place.

God has good plans for us. Those plans involve hope and a beautiful future. However, we have to decide whether to pursue our own plans or to trust in the one that God has. This is not easy. Because trusting in God's plan will come with difficulties. Ultimately, trusting in God's plan is better for us. Let us decide to ask God what His plans for us are and pursue that plan with our whole hearts.

We ought to always pray for each other. And we ought to have people that we can confess our sins, struggles, difficulties, and insecurities with. One of the biggest tricks of the enemy is keeping us divided. But a house divided will fall. Let us spend time building each other up and praying for each other, instead of tearing each other down. Real love is shown when we build people up with our prayers and encouragement. Let us build God's Kingdom with the way that we love each other.

Information and learning are important but it is not enough alone. The real victory comes from using the information we have learned, putting it into practice. This is also true spiritually. It is not enough to just post a cute verse on The Gram, to "Amen" about a message we heard at a service, or to say that we will trust God on Sunday morning. We have to put into practice what the Bible says to do and how it says we should be. This is not always easy. But God is with us whenever we live out what The Word commands of us. There is a blessing in living out the Christian walk practically and intentionally.
