This is the second part of a blog (Hunger) that I wrote several years ago. I had the bulk of this written back in May 2016 but never finished or posted. So let’s dive back in! This is very timely in light of the Lenten season. People all across the globe are fasting and seeking … More Increasing Our Hunger for God
I had an interesting experience recently. I began to pray something to the effect that Christians would be open to the supernatural.
