<TITLE>20. Par 143-152</TITLE>L-143   I think how it just pushed, and juggled, and--and gurgled, and laughed, and joyed, and jumped, and froliced. Cold, rainy; hot, dry, when all the rest of the country was drying up, it was bubbling just like it always did. Cause it was deep, rooted, way down in the rocks it come forth.

L-144 Oh, let me live by that Gusher! Take all your man-made systems you want to, all your old stagnated wells, but let me come to... or stagnated cisterns. But, let me come to this Fountain, let me come there where He is just full. He is my Joy. He is my Light. He is my--He is my Strength. He is my Water. He is my Life. He is my Healer. He is my Saviour. He is my King. Everything that I have need of is found in Him. Why would I want to go to anything else?

L-145   Brother, sister, won't you come to this Fountain tonight? Won't you, if you're not ever been there, won't you receive It tonight while we bow our heads?

L-146 Broken cisterns, leaking, seeping, the world seeping into it, filth from the barns and of other days. Why not this Well, that that stuff cannot stay in, this great Fountain filled with Blood, drawn from Immanuel's veins? Why don't you receive that tonight? May God help us tonight, in this dry, thirsty land. As the prophet said, "He is the Rock in a weary land." He is that Fountain. Won't you come to Him tonight, in your hearts, while we pray?

L-147   Dear Heavenly Father, there is no other Fountain, as the music is playing, "No other fount I know; nothing but the Blood of Jesus." I was born there, I've been raised there; I want to live there, and die there, and rise again there, in His Presence. Always, Lord, let me be in His Presence, for there's no other I know. No creed, no love; no love but Christ, no creed but Christ, no book but the Bible, no anything else, no joy outside of Him. Take Him from me, O God, I don't care how much of the world I owned, it--it would still be dead, I'd wander around with my hands up over my head. Take Him from me, I'll be gone, Lord. But let Him be in me, then December is as pleasant as May, then there is no hot places and there's no dry places, even death itself has no victory. Let us have Him, Father. Give Him, in abundance, to every believer here tonight, as they've waited in this room.

L-148 Many of them has got to drive along the road tonight, as they go to their homes, and may this be their thinking, "I'm living at that Fountain. I'm living there, freshly drinking, hour by hour."

L-149 And if they haven't received that, as yet, may they receive Him now, so they can take the Fountain right with them. "I'll go with you; I'll be with you to the end of the world." Grant these things, Father.

L-150   And now while we have our heads bowed, is there someone in here, tonight, or how many would say, "Lord, take me to that Fountain just now. I've never come here just to hear; I come here to find out Something. I come here to find You, Lord. I have a need of You tonight. Come to my heart right now. Will you do it, Lord?" God bless you. The Lord bless each one.

L-151   Father, You seen the hands, even up and around the wall, and in the other rooms, outside. You--You seen them, Father. I--I pray that You'll supply everything they have need of. Maybe they been drinking at some old cistern, Lord, just some half-way stopover where some man hewed out a cistern, it's become contaminated with all kinds of strange doctrines, denying the Word. I pray, God, that tonight they'll come to Him Who is that Fountain, that Fountain of Life. Grant it, Father. I commit them to Thee now in Jesus' Name.

L-152 And You told me, "If you ask anything in My Name, it'll be done." Now, I wouldn't ask this, Lord, if I didn't think it would be done. I'd be--I'd be just saying it in a ritual routine. But I pray for them, with sincerity. I pray for them, believing that You will grant what You promised.
