Are we ready to dive into the bottomless treasure chest of God for our lives?  When we awake spiritually hungry, the Lord is up to something in our life because He initiates the spiritual hunger.

"O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee; my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is." - Psalm 63:1

As we turn aside from our regular routine -- He is calling us to turn aside from our present existence -- He is calling us to turn aside from those things that have hindered us -- He is calling us to turn aside into HIS FLAME!  As we turn aside, God is going to begin to seep into the dry soil of our heart and awaken us into a new passion and a new FIERY desire for Him.

Since meditation on the Scriptures, prayer, and intercession are a service we owe and because the grace of God is found in this service, we should train ourselves to set apart a regular hour for it.  This is not "legalism"; it is orderliness and fidelity.

The Lord wants to fill us with holy desperation and a holy violence to lay hold of Him.  It's a hunger that will drive us into holy romance with the Lord and a passion for the ascended life -- to enthrone Him in every area  of our lives -- it's a fresh hunger to come into such intimacy with Jesus that we die to ourselves by giving ourselves for the sake of others and implement our holy union with Him in every way including intercession. We must press past intellectual awareness to hunger for heartfelt encounters that change and transform.
