<TITLE>16. Par 41-44</TITLE>L-41 I want you to notice. I noticed around here you have a lot of apple trees, apple growers, fruit (That's fine.), cherries and so forth. Did you know your little apple tree, when it was just about that big, it had every apple in it that you'll ever get off of it. When it was just about that high, it maybe had... Maybe that apple tree will produce a hundred or two, or three hundred bushel of apples. And there's two or three hundred bushel of apples in the tree when it's just about that big, a half inch high. Did you know that? Every leaf that'll ever be on the tree is in it right then. Every apple, every blossom, everything that's on the tree, that'll ever be on the tree, is in it right then. If it isn't, where does it come from? It's in the tree right then.
Now, the only thing you have to do is to plant the tree. And then what it has to do is to go to drawing. And it has to drink and drink and drink, till it drinks more than it's allotted part. It has to do... It has to drink till it gets so full it pushes out. And it pushes out leaves. It pushes out buds. It pushes out limbs. It pushes out apples.

L-42 Now, that's the way we are when you receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, to you sick people now. To you that are borned again of the Spirit of God, when God planted you in Christ Jesus, which is the inexhaustible Fountain of Life, everything you have need of was put in you when you received the Holy Ghost for your life's journey (That's right.), for your healing, for your salvation, for your joy, for your happiness.
The only thing you have to do is push out, drink, drink, push, drink, push. Hallelujah. Everything's there. You just have to let it loose. Go to pushing; go to drinking; go to stirring; go to reaching out; deeper depths, higher heights, it's all there. It don't need some Divine healer to come by to heal you. The Divine healing has already been purchased at Calvary. The only thing you have to do, you're planted in Calvary in Christ, drink from the Fountain that never runs dry. Hallelujah. My, oh, my.

L-43 I think of a--an old... Talk about drinking, I used to go into the mountains. I think about a spring I used to go to there, and how that spring was the happiest spring I ever seen. Why, it was just bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble all the time. Every year when I went there it was always bubbling.
I set down one day to talk to that spring. I said, "Mr. Spring, what makes you so happy? Because deers drink for you, from you?"
He'd speak--he'd talk, he'd say, "Why, no, Brother Branham."
I'd say, "Maybe bears drink from you, what makes you so happy. That's what makes you bubbling."
He'd say, "No."
I'd say, "Maybe I come here every year and you like me, and that's the reason what's making you bubble."
Why, he'd say, "No. It's me not bubbling. It's something behind me bubbling me, pushing me."
And that's the way it is with a old-time, borned again Christian. It ain't him being so noisy. It's Something behind him making him noise, bubbling him up, pushing him out, shoving him out, getting into higher heights and deeper depths of Christ. Amen. That's right. It's not them.

L-44 I notice a nightingale when it set in the bush. There used to be one when I used to pastor down at the Milltown Baptist Church. I'd come home and stay with Brother Wright down there, Brother Wood. And I'd--I'd come home at night. And that nightingale, I admired it. It would set there every night and just sing to the top of it's voice. And I thought, "Oh, my. Isn't that beautiful?"
Now, around my place up there they almost call it Nightingale Hill. There--there's so many nightingales. I like them. They just sing all night. And I wonder, "What makes them?" I begin to read up on the nightingale. Well, the nightingale, no matter how dark the night is, he will look around. And the clouds are going over. And when he can see one star, that's all he has to see. He will look right straight to that star and sing to the top of his voice.
