Jesus said you won't thirst, if we's thirsty we's in the wrang place, we's not what we's s'pose to be, we's not doing [being] what we's s'pose to be doing [being.]
We do have the water Jesus promised, the water of life. But it is not springing up into everlasting life. It's not flowing out of our bellies in rivers. We've got a lid on it, there is a cork on the bottle stopping it from overflowing.
We's not BAPTIZED in the Holy Ghost.
We have Him and He has us but we are not thoroughly dunked in Him, immersed.
You say but He'll make me speak with other tongues, I don't want that. Why on earth would you not want to speak with other tongues?
People will say you are bonkers, they will say you have gone off the rails, you have got all fanatical.
Cut to the chase dear brothers and sisters.
Desire Him greatly, long for Him, if you don't love Him enough, ask Him to cause you to love Him ... He understands all that, He KNOWS we don't love Him.
Holy Spirit my heart yearns for Thee
Holy Spirit abide in me
make me clean oh make me pure
I must know the double cure
Ne'er my trust would be in vain
nought to lose and all to gain
take my life my self my soul
burn the chaff and make me whole
Holy Spirit be my Guide
Holy Spirit my doors open wide
make me to know Thy will divine
Holy Spirit be Thou mine.
I was baptized in the Holy Spirit three months after I was born again, back in 1984. My longing and yearning for Messiah were fully satisfied as the Lord visited me in my own home as soon as I came from work. The divine visitation lasted about 20-30'. I felt a soft, warm liquid fire bathing me on the inside, but most of all, I felt loved like no one ever did. After that experience, the Lord became so real to me that now, after 38 years, I know Him better and love Him more.
No wonder they call Him wonderful! (Isa. 9:6)
