Hungry For More

This was a draft from a long time ago that I never posted.  But now's the time: I have found that whenever I am hungry for more of Him, more revelation, God always gives me more!

I've written this article many times in my mind, and never committed it to my blog. I can truthfully say, every time I've hungered for more of God in my life, God has given me more.

I grew up going to the church on Sundays. I was baptized as a baby, went through Catechism, and always believed in Jesus, that He was the Savior. I believed in the Trinity. But, Jesus was someone who lived all those years ago, and I spent my time wishing I had been born then so I could have known Him. I was hungry for Jesus, even though I believed in Him, and knew a lot of facts about Him.

One Sunday morning when I was 15, I woke up needing to get ready for church. But when I woke up, I actually felt the Presence of God in my room and all around me. It was so awesome, I didn't go to church, but stayed in bed as long as I could feel His presence. That made me hungry for more of God, although I didn't have that experience again until later in life.

After I was married, circumstances found me attending a Baptist Church. One of the Deacons there asked me if I knew I was going to Heaven when I died. My answer was, "I hope so". This resulted in my getting "born again" and knowing I am going to Heaven when I die. As a result of this experience Jesus became more real to me personally, and I spent hours studying the Bible, and God gave me revelation that both filled me, and made me hungry for more!

A few years later, I was doing a Bible Study at church on faith. I kept saying, I understand what faith is, but what IS faith? The more I learned, the more it seemed like there was more still to learn. I couldn't wrap my mind around it. I was hungry to know more about faith.

Shortly after that, we met some "Jesus People" who invited us to one of their meetings. Jim Durkin, the man who started "Gospel Outreach" in California was in town teaching on, yes you guessed it, faith! Wow! He actually explained faith, what it was and how to have it and develop it. I was filled and very excited. To this day, faith is still one of my life quests, to believe all of God's Word, to walk in faith in God's Word.

Another thing that happened at that meeting, I was filled with the Holy Spirit and the love of God like I hadn't experienced before. It was similar to what I experienced that Sunday when I was 15, but was more intense and real. This made me hungry for more! After that time, my quest became that the Kingdom of God would be more real to me than this world we live in.

A few years later, I read a book by Mark Virkler called Dialogue with God. This told me about journaling and how to hear God's voice, how to know when God was speaking to me. I learned to write down what He said, and believe, or have faith that I was hearing from God. This changed my life yet again, because God became more real to me than He had been before. I felt closer to God, and eventually I learned that I can converse with God at any time and all the time.

But, I was hungry for more. I wanted to understand and know the Word of God; I wanted revelation of God's Word. So, when I would study the Word, the Word became real to me in ways it hadn't before. God began to give me revelation of His Word, to show me things in the spirit, that I could only understand by the Holy Spirit. I learned to walk in the spirit, and see things in the spirit. I learned what it means to live in the spirit. And this filled a hungry place in me.

And still I hunger for more of God. I want to be filled with God. More of God, and less of me. And as I hunger for more, I know He will give me more and fill me more with Himself. I can say that the Kingdom of God is finally becoming more real to me than this world we live in. But there is always more of His Kingdom to know and explore.

The Kingdom of God Is Our Reality

This expresses my heart as to seeking first His Kingdom and His Righteousness. Making His Kingdom my Reality.

Russell Walden – The Father’s Heart Ministry

The Father says today that the world around you is a temporal veneer that can be a major distraction. Learn says the Father to look through and not just with your eye. See through the temporary elements that will one day melt with fervent heat. Look through the seen and let your feet find purchase with solidity on the ephemeral landscape of heavenly places in Christ. It is the unseen realm of the Spirit that projects, controls and rules over all the natural things around you that the five senses observe.

You see says the Father you are an eternal being with spiritual senses and discernment designed to navigate the unseen geography of My kingdom. You are a ruler and one who reigns with an authority that extends from My blood-bought throne. So open your eyes and open your heart. Look past the blindness of the empirical assessment of what you see around you. This was My overture to Adam and Eve when I asked them "Who told you that you were naked?" The enemy trapped them in limitation and restriction but I am come to liberate YOU into the limitless resources of the realm where My presence originates!

Did I Say It's Been Awhile?

I just noticed the last post was in August 2012. I'd say that is more than awhile. A lot has happened over the last year. It has been a year of solidifying my beliefs. Not my faith in God, but in what I believe the Word of God is saying. This last year there have been ups and downs, and much activity. My boss passed away of lung cancer, and within a month after that, my sister-in-law passed away of lung cancer. Plus a really good friend of ours from Gospel Outreach days years ago passed away of a sudden heart attack . Death always has shaken my reality. But my reality in God's Kingdom is growing and getting stronger; it is becoming increasingly unshakeable. This year has also brought us visitors and we are looking forward to our 50th anniversary this month. We will be seeing all our kids/grandkids/great granddaughter. It will be the first time in 11 years that we have all been together as a family. So I'd say this last year has been a year of building, strengthening, and new vision in the Kingdom.

July 2013 Update: God's Word Is Still Creating!

It's been awhile since I've posted anything here. But God has reminded me, and renewed my vision, so I will be obedient.

I just started a new Facebook group called Kingdom Explorers. It's been my life's quest to make the Kingdom of God as real to me as this world we live in. Now my new quest is to make it MORE REAL than this world; to see into, walk through and speak Kingdom words of life, with God's love and His words flowing from me. This particular group is Kingdom specific, although obviously the Kingdom of God covers a lot of territory to explore. If you are interested in joining Kingdom Explorers, please email me or message me on Facebook.

My plan is to keep current with Word Power Creations. God's Word is absolutely critical and vital to His Kingdom! His Word created and is still creating the visible from the invisible. And we are the voice He uses!

Yesterday when my friend and I were praying together, she prayed something about submitting to God's molding and shaping us. I got such a strong picture in my mind of God taking the shape that He's molded us into, and completely destroying that shape, making it into a round ball of clay. We were still who we are, but He is shaping us into something new - a new shape. I was seeing it as an individual thing, but then I thought perhaps it is the church. Maybe He's taking each individual form and shaping us together into a new form. That is exciting, if that's what it means. He says His Body will be without spot or wrinkle, and we know that His Body is all of us together collectively. Possibly this body is the manifested sons of God!
Here's one response from a friend. "How exciting. Think, sealed with the spirit of promise, our new name.....the fulness of the tree is embodied in the seed.... His desire is to get us use to being who we are in the ages to come. A new creation people with new hearts and new minds. wooohooo !"

The River Is Rising


5-29-12 from Sharon Seidel’s Journal.



After quite a long time of holy laughter, I saw the waters stirring. I know there is healing in the waters. This makes quite a few times I’ve seen this in the spirit. Then the Lord gave me this word for Jubilee.



Yes, I am stirring the waters for those who need healing. In fact the waters are rising, filling up Jubilee.  And those who are needy, who are hungry, who need deliverance, who desire to experience all of Me, come. Come with a heavy heart and I will give you peace and joy. Come with a light heart and together we will soar. Come with a pure heart and I’ll show you the Kingdom. I’ll show you the things you’ve longed to see. I’ll open up the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing. I’ll pour out my healing oil, I’ll pour out streams of gold and silver and precious jewels. I’ll pour out secrets of the Kingdom and those who reach for them will learn the secret things.

What is it you want? Reach up and take of the living waters pouring out to you. Reach out and gather in all I’ve stored up for you. It’s all here for you to take. What is the desire of your heart? It’s here! The heavens have opened and are pouring out blessings, pouring out healing, pouring out miracles, pouring out liquid love, pouring out joy and laughter, pouring out dancing shoes, pouring out new songs, pouring out visions, pouring out provision, pouring out jobs – whatever you need, whatever you desire, come into the River; for I’m pouring out My Kingdom into the River.

And the river is rising at Jubilee. It is no small thing that is happening there, but the beginning of the outpouring of My Spirit. Soon, more and more people will be drawn into the River. Those who are desperate, those whose hearts have been crying out to me, soon there will be a stampede of people trying to get into the River and under the waterfall of My outpouring. Some will come and never leave. Others will carry their containers to take River water and the outpouring of blessings with them. There is healing in the River and there is love in the River. And there is joy in the River, for in My presence is fullness of joy. Many will come just to soak and to play, just to be in My presence.

Look not on the outward. Look with the eyes of your spirit, and you will see what I am doing. And I invite you to join Me. Come splash and play with me in the River. Whatever you need you will receive in the River.

This is but the beginning, for when the doors open, the water will flow out into the parking lot, into the street. And My Spirit will be loosed everywhere! It is only the beginning. For the whole earth will know I AM God and that I will not have any other gods before Me. I AM God and all shall see My might and strength and power and know My love. My love will sweep many off their feet, even the ones who try to hang on and remain upright. My love will reign victorious. My love conquers.

See the River rising. Learn to flow with the River. Become one with the River, move with it; don’t resist it. For as it flows you will go places you’ve never been, see things you’ve never seen, reach people you didn’t know existed. And out of this your boundaries will be enlarged, your heart will be enlarged to receive multitudes into the Kingdom. It is no small work still to be done, but it will be a quick work. So come, jump in, shake off the fear. Let it be washed away in the River. Come, rejoice, float, swim, and play in the River.

3rd Word from Journal 5-23-12


Word from Sharon Seidel’s Journal 5-23-12

Remember that word tonight about my blowing upon people and changing them. Keep the words, the vision before you. Speak the vision. Praise Me for the miraculous return of my wounded warriors. It has been spoken to other prophetic people also. Pray and intercede for the wounded Christians of all denominations. Call forth the dry bones. Awake. Rise up, you who sleep and slumber, who are dry and thirsty and bone weary. You are not dead, only mostly dead.

I am now blowing upon you, breathing life back into you. You will arise triumphant. You’ve known light and you’ve known darkness. And you will shake off your slumber, you will shake off the darkness. Those in darkness will see a great light! It will start as a pinpoint, a sliver of light and as the moon gets bigger until it is the full moon, chasing away all darkness in its sphere. So shall My people, who are called by My Name, increase until they are completely full, completely mature, shining like the full moon. Except their light will be much greater, for they will be filled with the fullness of the Godhead bodily, with no darkness, only light shining fully bright, full of the glory of the Lord. This is My creation, My people!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………..

I believe we are to call them forth out of the dark places they are in.



Come forth, all you who are weary and heavy laden, who are wounded and hiding in darkness. Come forth out of the hiding places. Come out into the light of the glory of God! Lower the strong shields and walls around your heart so the light can once again shine in upon you and warm your heart, heal your heart, and breathe life back into you. Come forth! Now is the time. Listen for the sound of the trumpet that is blowing, calling you to come.
