Summary:
Even knowing the Lord, and the Holy Spirit; there is a cry in our hearts to know them even more
We too often settle for a thimble full, when asking for an avalanche.
Show Notes:
• In all of our combined years, there is one thing we know, and that is what we do not know.
• We are crying out for the complete fulfillment of Joel 2
• Lord, we believe, help our unbelief
• His kingdom is the bottom line

Quotes:
• We are not going to be satisfied with just a taste
• We need the Holy Spirit;
• We loose the desire to know and to have it.
• Christ was not led, He was driven
• Appropriate the answer
• He is so much more real than the air we breathe
Take Away:
A hunger cry for the Lord is one that cannot be satisfied, it is an indescribable ache that will not accept a token taste.
