  74. what these are, that the attitudes before this, the Bible said in Matthew's

  75. Gospel, chapter five. And he opened his mouth and taught him, saying,

  232. go high. I'm telling your turch you sertain may be a try service only

  241. where. But you know what, God already dealt with me about the message

  242. Pastor. He said, when you got to be home, and I told

  243. my wife, I said, I know there's a reason. Pastor just didn't

  244. ask me to step around two days at you just for fun and pleasure.

  245. I'm gonna tell you, Church, it's been good. It's been relaxing.

  246. We've had a good time. That's not what I'm saying. There's a reason.

  247. He said, did you get in the saddle? I didn't hesitate.

  248. I didn't say that. Can gray about it? I said, sure,

  251. in the morning. We're gonna leave back with God. Terry said it.

  252. That's me. I'm telling you right now, Church, I come for one

  253. soul. I don't know who you are, but there's a soul that's here

  254. that you're thirsty. You remember, there's a long's coming up. You know

  255. who y'are. God knows who y'are. I feel like you're in my spirit.

  260. Yes you are? And here's the choice. Are you gonna wake up and

  261. say? Lord? I know it's me. I can preach on the rich

  262. man and Lazis of the rich man had it all. Lazarus had very little,

  263. but his longing was not worth needed to be costing his life. I

  264. can preach on many other things in the Word of God, but I'm not

  265. going to I'm going to reach you one more stretcher, and I'm gonna get

  266. ready to close. I told you there's places in the scriptures here now talk

  267. about people that are hungered and thirsty, but what they hungered and thirsted after

  268. was what their life turned out to be. What I long for is what

  269. I go to. What you long for is what you go after. These

  270. are just some examples that I gave to you. But here's what God said.

  271. If we would have the same desires for Christ as we have for these

  272. others, we would know where to go to receive the desires of a heart.

  273. Isaiah forty four and three says this. He said, I want pour

  274. water upon him that is thirsty, he said, and floods upon the tribe

  275. around. I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessings upon

  276. dying off streets, said God. I'm telling you Church, he said,

  277. I will pour the water back upon you. All right, you need to

  278. listen, he said, for I will pour water upon him that is thirsty.

  279. But not only will he pour water upon you, he said, he

  280. will open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that you're what

  281. be not room, he said, in floods upon the dry grounds of your

  282. soul. Stand over the house of don Are you thirsty? He told his

  283. disciples of attitudes, He said, Blessed are that? He said, Blessed

  284. are they agent which to hunger and thirst after righteousness, where they shall the

  285. fel everhead bowty please ever I close. I feel like you're my spirit.

  286. You know I'm talking to you right now. There's a mind right now of

  287. a battle that's going on between you and God and the spirit and the enemy.
