<TITLE>12. Par 40-43</TITLE>L-40 Somebody told me not long ago, said, "Brother Branham, you know what happened? This great organization is talking about, that's always sponsored you--you know what they did? They ousted you. They won't have nothing to do with you no more." Said, "They drove down their stake." And said, "Nobody receive Brother Branham any more. "
I said, "Well, I drove mine down too, and went way out a past them, and took them in." That's just all of it. That's all. I take them in, because a lot of God's children's in there, and that's right. The message is to God's children, not to any certain organization, but to God's children. They put me out, I'll take them in by spreading mine a little wider and just take it in. That's all.
So we must love one another, keep the roots of bitterness out of us. Then God can go to working through us. But till we get that, then we're--we're--we're just fighting the wind. True. We got to love one another. Jesus said, "By this all men will know you're My disciples." Right or wrong, love anyhow.

L-41 Now, we find out then, that--that in the days of Solomon everybody was with one accord. And everyone coming through... They didn't have televisions then, thank the Lord, but they had--but they had... They... Only way they could take a word was from lip to ear. And everybody passing through would go in and see these great meetings, and go down, and tell their country.
And you know, Jesus said, "The queen of the south (which was at Sheba) come from the utmost parts of the earth." That was the utmost parts of the known earth at that time. Now, if you'll notice, it's a long distance down there across the Sahara.
Now, people coming and going, the caravans of the camel caravans, and the way they had of transportation, people would come in. And after while, the caravans going through her country, this little queen down there... She was probably a pagan, heathen.

L-42 And everybody come through from up around Palestine, they was always saying, "Oh, you should see what's going on in Palestine. My, their God is a living God. Why, He's anointed one up there, and they've even made him king. And wisdom of discernment, you never seen such. It couldn't be a human being doing that. We looked at the man; we shook hands with him. He's a man; he wore clothes. He's just a man. But God has chose him, and he--he does things that's superhuman. So we know it has to come from God. And he gives all the glory to Jehovah, their God. You should come, see it."
Oh, you know, faith cometh by hearing, hearing about God. Well, the little queen's heart begin to throb. "You know, I'd like to see that. I--I--I..." You know, you hear testimonies. Now, what if she had turned her little painted face up, said, "Hmph, if there's anything going on like that, it'd go down here to my church. It wouldn't be up there." All right. The story would never been written. Jesus would've never referred to her. She would have been a modern Jezebel.

L-43 And so then we find out that the little lady begin to hunger and thirst. Faith had caught a hold, and she begin to thirst after God. And Jesus said, "Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst." Just to even thirst, you're blessed--just to thirst, whether you get anything or not, just to thirst.
You say, "Well, I have never got nothing." Blessed are ye anyhow. You're thirsting for it anyhow. "Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst for righteousness..." But He never left you standing like that. He said, "for they shall be filled." That just does me so good. "They shall be filled."
When the deep goes to calling to the deep, there's got to be a deep to respond to that call. Before there can be a creation, there has to be a Creator to create that creation. That's all there is to it. Hunger and thirsting for God...
