Are you hungry all the time? Eating more food than you need? If so, take heart, for there’s a cure.
Jesus Christ gave us a solution for dissolving unnecessary hunger in his beatitude, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6, NKJV).
The human mind is often educated to believe that every sensation of hunger is a call to eat more food. But in a society where food is abundant and easy to consume, this may be a gross deception. The “hunger” is often not a call for more material food, but for spiritual food. For spiritual mindedness!
This type of hunger is to know God better. It is a call to feel God’s presence, to be comforted by God’s love, and to experience the peace of mind and heavenly contentment that abide with knowing and feeling God’s truth and love.
Be wise about hunger pangs. Be discerning. Instead of mistakenly believing that every hunger pang is a call to eat more food, discern whether it’s really a call for more spiritual food.
If you’ve already had plenty of food, and it’s obvious you don’t need to be eating more material food, make the right decision. Seek spiritual mindedness instead of chips and crackers in the kitchen. Fill up on spiritual truth! You’ll be much happier with the result.
Love this so much Evan, thank you!❣️
Thanks Evan – I did not receive my email and when I went to website – the site would not come up at all was in error until now
Obrigada pois só o Espírito divino nos satisfais nos alimenta
Thank you, Evan. Your inspiring words can easily be applied to any false desire to reach for more matter. A greater understanding of God and our relationship to him as His reflection is always needed and answers every prayer.
Thanks very much for this helpful sharing. .
Thanks for this insight!
The heart needs its rightful nutrition. Peace, patience in tribulation and a priceless sense of the Dear Fathers

Thank you so much Evan! Interesting that I had just resolved to cut down on material food intake not more than two or three days ago, and now I’m reading your wonderful message about food and hunger.
I have read CS testimonies in past years where the person suffered, sometimes greatly, from eating. Various digestion disorders, etc. They were completely healed, and as an additional blessing, their desire for material food became less.
