   While wonderfully hungry in the Holy Spirit, Who causes (Deuteronomy   
   8:3) us to hunger, I note that you, Michael, are rapture ready (Luke   
   17:37 means no COVID just as eagles circling over their food have no   
   COVID) and pray (2 Chronicles 7:14) that our Everlasting (Isaiah 9:6)   
   Father in Heaven continues to give us "much more" (Luke 11:13) Holy   
   Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) so that we'd have much more of His Help to   
   always say/write that we're "wonderfully hungry" in **all** ways   
   including especially caring to "convince it forward" (John 15:12) with   
   all glory (Psalm112:1) to GOD (aka HaShem, Elohim, Abba, DEO), in   
   the name (John 16:23) of LORD Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.   
      
   Laus DEO !
