Series: Revival
Author: Brad Whitt
Text: 2 Chronicles 7:14

-but He desires an intimate fellowship with those who He has created.
We see it in the first book of the Bible. Just a few pages, a few chapters, a few verses into the book of Genesis, we see where God walks through the Garden of Eden and hears that first call to a concealed, cowering, fig-covered Adam - "Adam, where are you?"
