<TITLE>15. Par 55-58</TITLE>L-55 Then they come down, and these guys so drunk, crawling on their knees trying to grab them, and pulling what little clothes they had on off. And they come down there, and they got away from them, they... And I stepped back into the little hall in a shadow. And one of them took this whiskey, and took a big drink like that, and give it to the other one; she pulled up her little underneath skirt, and said, "Whoopee, this is life."
I stood there a little bit; I walked out I said, "I beg your pardon. That's death."
She said, "Have a drink."
I caught them by the hand, and I said, "Looky here at the wedding rings. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Even if you would be no more than an American citizen, it's a disgrace to our country, and our flag, and what our forefathers established this nation to be. I'm an American too. I'm a Gospel preacher." And they started jumping, and pulling, and jumping, and snorting, and kicking at me, and everything else, and got away, and down the hall they went.

L-56 That isn't life, that's death. What makes... What would a beautiful young woman want to do a thing like that? What would a man, maybe with his wife home baby-sitting too, and him up there pulling after her, another man's wife? Why do they drink? What causes people to sin? It's because they're thirsty. That's right.
When God made a human heart, He made a little place in there for Himself. He made you so you'd thirst, not thirst for that, but thirst for Him. How dare a man or a woman, citizen of any country, to try to quench that holy thirst with the things of the world. That's the reason they do it because... You don't need another drink. You don't need a cigarette, you smokers. You don't need another drink, you people who drink. You don't need another party; you need God is what you need, to thirst for righteousness.
God made that place, and made you to thirst; that's part of you. He made that little place in your heart to throne Himself and to satisfy your thirsting.

L-57 It won't do you any good; it'll make you a dope addict, or--or something else. And you'll never be satisfied, and it will not be satisfied till you find the thing that it was made for. You're hybreeding something again, trying to give something there that God made for Himself. And that's what makes a person thirst.
This little queen, how much different, she was thirsting because her little humble heart was looking for God. Now, after while it got to be so many coming, till she thought, "Well, I'm going up to find out for myself."
Now, there's a good idea. She could teach American women how to live. See, Americans will set at home, and "Aw, well, doctor so-and-so said it wasn't right." They'll set home.

L-58 This woman didn't care what doctor so-and-so said. She was thirsting to find out for herself. And she was determined to go. She had a lot to confront her. Remember, she was a pagan. She has to go ask her pagan priest if she could go.
Let's take a trip with her. I hear her go down say, "Holy reverend father, is it possible that you could excuse me as a queen? I hear they have a great revival going on up here in the next nation, that God, their God has come down, and has anointed the people till their all in one accord. He's put His Spirit upon a man; He's showing great discernments. Oh, holy father would you excuse me from the church so I can go?"
