he seemed utterly dead to any spiritual understanding of the gospel.
This outpouring was so continuous that, for over a week, no more attempts were made to do regular work.
believing that God was bigger than the devil. We took refuge behind the promise that those who sought the Father for bread would not get a stone (see Matthew 7:9); that those who sought a fish would not get a serpent; that those who sought an egg would not get a scorpion; that those with pure motives like these children, who sought the Holy Spirit, would not get evil things or demons, but would get exactly what they sought: the Holy
