Thirst & Drink

Revelation 21
6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

Revelation 22
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

  • He that thirsts may drink as much as He desires!! There is no other specification or requirement. However, notice that the invitation is exclusively given to those who THIRST! This water is not given by association, it is not promised to those who call themselves “Christian”, it is not given to church members, good people, or even elders or pastors. The water of Life is ONLY for those who thirst and desire.

Psalm 27
4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple.

  • It is easy to desire. Many desire to go to heaven, many have a desire to be right with God, to know His presence, to be considered good and faithful servants in His Kingdom.
  • But it is not enough to desire only. There must be a seeking after, a searching out, a hunger, and a thirst… There must be an action taken! This is a faithful principle  in scripture.

Matthew 7
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

  • EVERYONE who asks receives but only everyone WHO ASKS!
  • EVERYONE who seeks shall find but only everyone WHO SEEKS!
  • EVERYONE who knocks shall have the door opened for them but the door will only be opened to everyone WHO KNOCKS!
  • Have you asked The Lord for His abundance? Have you sought for His will? Have you knocked on the door of His secret place? Have you thirsted for the waters of His Life and Life more abundantly? Or has your appetite subsided? Have you had enough? You don’t need any more?
  • There is a promise of blessings far more precious than we can ever comprehend if we would simply have the faith to act! Nothing more is required! NOTHING!! Believe The Lord, believe His Word! Hallelujah!

Matthew 7
11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those WHO ASK Him!

  • Brother, sister… If you are thirsty, if you lack, come, drink of HIS water; ask, seek, knock and believe!
