Flesh
Those of the flesh become hungry for when there is a lack of 'fleshly materials'. The result of this is a would-do-anything-to-get-it desperation for the particular fleshly material, such as food, water, or tangible or intangible object or actionable item that results in sin.
Spirit
Those of the Spirit become hungry for when there is a lack of Spirit materials. The result of this is a would-do-anything-to-get-it desperation for the particular Spiritual material, such as the presence of God and the Word of God.
The more of the Spirit a person is the more he is hungry for the things of the Spirit, and must have a regular intake otherwise he will become hungry and desperate.
Important questions
1. When was the last time you were desperate for fleshly materials?
2. When was the last time you were desperate for Spiritual materials?
3. Has your Spiritual materials intake been increasing or decreasing in the last 2 years?
"Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires." - Romans 8:5

What We Live By...
- God didn't give you a job, or a spouse, or a family, so that you can have no time left to spend with Him
- The fire of God will not fall on empty altars
- "I set myself on fire, and the people come to see me burn." - John Wesley
- We cannot preach a gospel and not insist that there’d be power in the message
- If Jesus walked the earth to preach the gospel we preach today, he would never have been crucified.
- The gospel is fully preached only when man's words and actions are accompanied by the display of signs and wonders, the miraculous, and ultimately God's power shown on earth as it is in heaven. (ref: Romans 15:19)
- "And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God." - 1 Cor 2:4
- It has always been in the heart of God for man to experience the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.
- Spending time gaining knowledge about Christianity is called "learning"; spending time with God is called "GROWING".
- People don't do what-you-tell-them-to-do. PE-OPLE-DO-WHAT-YOU-DO.
