The Command to be satisfied:
Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
~Isaiah 55:2
Let your fountain be blessed,
And rejoice with the wife of your youth.
As a loving deer and a graceful doe,
Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
And always be enraptured with her love.
For why should you, my son, be enraptured by an immoral woman,
And be embraced in the arms of a seductress?
~Proverbs 5:18-20
Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty;
Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread.
~Proverbs 20:13
The Prayer for satisfaction:
As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness;
I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.
~Psalm 17:15
That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God.
~Ecclesiastes 3:13
Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy,
That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
~Psalm 90:14
The Promise of satisfaction:
The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways,
But a good man will be satisfied from above.
~Proverbs 14:14
The fear of the LORD leads to life,
And he who has it will abide in satisfaction;
He will not be visited with evil.
~Proverbs 19:23
If you extend your soul to the hungry
And satisfy the afflicted soul,
Then your light shall dawn in the darkness,
And your darkness shall be as the noonday.
The LORD will guide you continually,
And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;
You shall be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
~Isaiah 58:10-11
I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance,
And My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the LORD.
For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
~Jeremiah 31:14, 25
The Praise of being satisfied:
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.
Thus I will bless You while I live;
I will lift up my hands in Your name.
My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.
~Psalm 63:3-5
Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts:
We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
~Psalm 65:4
You open Your hand
And satisfy the desire of every living thing.

Mat 11:3..."Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?"
Mat 11:4 And Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John what you hear and see:
Mat 11:5 the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
Mat 11:6 And blessed is the one who is not offended by me."
May this be what transpires in our services to the spirits of those who hunger to know if Jesus is the ONE.
