“Thirst” - Part 1

1. “Thirst” - Part 1

2. PSALM 42:1 As the hart pantethafter the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. PSALM 42:2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? PSALM 42:3 My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?

3. MATTHEW 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

4. March 17, 1963 – William Branham opened the entrance into the Third Testament – The Coming of Jesus Christ as the Son of David. Message: “God Hiding Himself in Simplicity, Then Revealing Himself in the Same” The Dedication of the Most Holy – Solomon’s Temple – Took Place that morning as he called for us to enter into this Holy Place with humbleness and simplicity.

5. Exactly 50 years - March 17, 2013 – In humbleness and simplicity the call is made for us to enter God’s Power to Transform – “THRIST”. The Call Now Comes- “Step Up Higher” – Leave the ministration of the Second Testament, “THRIST” for the greater Testament as all others are shadows now. The Person of Jesus Christ is come - In the Flesh - Leading in “THIS” Third Testament, Third Exodus, Third Day, Third Sonship, Third Pull, Third Heaven, Third Coming.

6. JUDGES 15:16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men. JUDGES 15:17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi. – “Higher Thinking”

7. JUDGES 15:18 And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised? JUDGES 15:19 But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day. – “Spring of One Calling”

8. Albert Einstein “The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.” ________________________________________ “A new truth is not presented in such a way as to convince its opponents. Rather, they die off, and a rising generation is familiarized with the truth from the start.”

9. JOHN 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. JOHN 4:11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

10. JOHN 4:12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? JOHN 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

11. JOHN 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. JOHN 4:15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

12. PSALM 63:1- O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

13. JOHN 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. JOHN 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

14. THIRST_ TUCSON.AZ_65-0919 15 We realize that judgment is striking. Great faults are falling in, and the nation is shaking, and earthquakes in divers places. Great historical things that we've heard of in the days past, of judgment, through the Bible, and we see it repeating again today. The prophecy saying, "As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man. As it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man,"

15. and we see it happening now. "Man's hearts failing; perplexity of time; distress between nations." God, we know we're at the end time. 16 Help us, Lord, to--to take the Message to every crack and corner, to every child that You've ordained to Life. Grant it, Lord. We ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. Lord, bless the reading now of His Word.

16. 21 I think, David, in the writing of this Psalm, must have been in distress. And it usually takes distress to bring the best out of a man. It, really, that's when God... gets down to when we fast, many times, to get ourself in position to get ourself out of the way. And I think, when David got in these places, then he begin to meditate on the Lord, begin to think about the things.

17. 25 Then I was looking and thinking about that word "thirst," so I looked up in the dictionary, to see what it means. And here is what Webster says, "It's a painful desire," a painful, when you want something so bad until it becomes painful to you.

18. 26 Now, it's--it's not an unnatural thing, to thirst. Thirst is a--a natural thing. It's just simply something that God has given us, that we could, to give us a--a desire for something. Sometimes God has, also, has given you a--a control tower, something that sets inside of you, that--that controls these different desires. And this thirst, this control tower that sets in a man's heart, is something that God give him to--to warn him of the desires that's needful for him.

19. 27 Now there is two different kinds of thirst. There is a thirst, physically. And there is a thirst, also, spiritually. I would like to read this, what David said, again. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God:... 28 Not some historical, or some something that happened some years ago, or--or some tale that someone told; but, "for the living God," a God that's ever present. And his soul thirsted for that God, not for some historical something.

20. 29 Now we find, God gives the control tower to you, to give to you the things that you need. Now, the control tower in you is what directs you. And this thirst runs in on this co-... tower, control tower, and tells you what you have need of, spiritually speaking. The control tower in the body, and in the soul, also.

21. There is a control tower in the body, that tells you the need that's needed in your body, and it's brought to you by thirst. Also, there is a control tower in your soul, that tells you the spiritual things that you have need of, something in your spirit, and, and you by this can tell what kind of a life is controlling you.

22. 30 When you can see what your desires are, then you can tell, by that, what kind of something that's in you, that's creating this desire that you have. See, there is a certain thing that you thirst for, and it--and it can tell you in your soul what this desire is, by the nature of the thirst that you have. I hope that you can understand that.

23. 31 There is a--a control tower of the soul, and one for the body, and each tower is a warning caller for the needs of the other. Each one calls to the need for what the caller is calling for, it sends out a wave of warning.

24. 32 For instance, the flesh thirst to satisfy the desires that's in the body, and the spirit desires for the things that's in the soul, desire is, and many times these war one against the other. We find there, what's a great trouble today, that too many people try to live between those two desires. For, one of them desires the things of the earth, the other desires the things of Heaven.

25. 33 Like Paul said, describes it in Romans 7:21, "When I would do good, then evil is nigh." When you try, did you ever have that in experience, Christians? That when you're trying to do something that's worth-while, go to make an effort to do something that's good, then you find out that there is the Devil, on every hand, just to upset you, everything that you'd... And that's one good thing, that. I'd like to say this, that the Christians might know. That when you are--when you are starting to do something, and there is something always trying to upset you in doing it, do it anyhow. That's the Devil there, trying to keep you from doing what's right.

26. LOOKING.AT.THE.UNSEEN_59-0410 E-7 When God made man, He made him thus; for He made this little certain compartment in the man for His own throne, His control tower. God wants to lead man, but man wants to lead himself. Therefore there is a war constantly. The man wants to go after what he sees with his eyes.

27. LOOKING.AT.THE.UNSEEN_59-0410 E-8 Man's always trying to achieve something by his head. He's supposed to achieve, but by his heart. That's the control tower where God controls him, and directs his thoughts, directs his walks, directs his emotions. Sometimes I get so happy I just have to let it loose. And if I'd look around and see somebody, then, see, I got my eyes on people then.

28. LOOKING.AT.THE.UNSEEN_59-0410 E-24 Every borned again child tonight comes through Abraham's blessing. For it's the promises given to Abraham. …It's heaven. And we confess that we're peculiar people, strangers, because we're looking for something that we do not see. But something on the control tower says it's there. Every redemptive blessing between here and there, God promised to give it to us.

29. REVELATION.CHAPTER.FOUR.2_61-0101 237 Now, the first throne was in heaven, judgment seat. The second throne was in Christ; the third throne is in man. …Now, what is a man? He's a triune being: body, soul, and spirit. How many knows that? Watch God's approach.

30. What is his heart? You remember my message, "God Chose a Man's Heart for His Control Tower?" The devil chose his head for his control tower. See? He makes him see things, look through his eyes. But yet God in his heart makes him believe things that he cannot see. See? See, God is on his heart; in the heart of man is the throne of God. You get it? Man... God made His throne in the heart of man.

31. COUNTDOWN_64-0209 69 Natural astronaut is... has something to control him. When the astronaut is in the air, he has something backwards here, back down here on the earth, that controls him. It's called radar. That radar moves him around, shows where he's at, tells what he's doing. And that radar controls him from a radar tower, here on earth. That's the natural astronaut.

32. 70 So the spiritual astronaut has a control Power, has a control tower, too. It's not down here, like man is. It's up There. And it's the Holy Ghost that's in him, that's controlling him, a tower of the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It's under control, keeps him in control by the Word; not in a bunch of fanaticism, some whooped up nonsense;

33. but, THUS SAITH THE LORD, and it happens. It's always under control. He's got a control tower, that's the Holy Ghost. And the Word is His--His program, and he lays right into that program. And the power of the Holy Ghost endows him to move out, and it brings the achievement that God wants to be achieved for His people, that it might fulfill what He promised.

34. POWER.OF.TRANSFORMATION_65-1031M 311 That little inside of the inside, that's where you start, which is your soul; then come from that, you're a spirit; and then you become a living being. Now, the living being has five senses, to contact; the second has five senses. That's the outside body: see, taste, feel, smell, and hear. The inside body has love and conscience, and so forth, five senses. But the inside of the inside, the control tower, it's either God or Satan.

35. “Satan” “God”

36. AMOS 8:11 11 ¶ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: AMOS 8:12 12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

37. AMOS 8:13 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. AMOS 8:14 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

38. JOHN 19:28 28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. JOHN 19:29 29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. JOHN 19:30 30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

39. REVELATION 7:16 16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. REVELATION 7:17 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

40. PSALM 143:6 6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah. PSALM 143:7 7 ¶ Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

41. ISAIAH 55:1 1 ¶ Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. ISAIAH 55:2 2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
