Brothers and sisters, God is looking for growling stomachs.

Dr. Tony Evans says when our desperation meets our dependence, we're in a position to experience God's fullness.

You will never discover that God is all you need until he is all you have.

Today, Dr. Evans reveals how God uses our

This woman, secondly, of all, is in financial pain. She says the creditors have come.

The bill collectors are hounding me.

And so she was under financial duress.

She was in physical pain because verse 2 says there's nothing in my house except a jar of oil.

In other words, the refrigerator is empty.
