<TITLE>13. Par 118-125</TITLE>L-118   That thing was bubbling up like that, and I said, sat down there one day, I thought, "I believe I'll talk to that spring, just for a moment." I took off my hat, and I said, "What are you so happy about? What are you bubbling so about? Maybe it's because the deers drink from you, once in a while."
If he could have spoke, he'd have said, 'No.
I said, "Maybe it's because that I drink from you."
"No, that isn't it."

L-119 I said, "Well, what's making you so pure, so clean? So what--what is it bubbling, that makes you bubble, full of joy all the time, and nothing can freeze you over? You're spurting up in the air, and there is nothing; clean water."

L-120 If it could have spoke to me, you know what that well would have said? He'd have said, "Brother Branham, it isn't me a bubbling. It's something behind me, bubbling me." And that's the way it is. That's a poor word, but you know what I mean.

L-121   And that's the way it is with a born-again experience. You cannot contain it. It's a--a well of water within you, bubbling up into everlasting Life. See, there is something about it, that you have nothing to do with. The man-made tanks may freeze, and them begging for revival and everything; but a man that's under that Fountain, living in that Fountain, it's day and night! No, you don't have to wait on local rains and local revivals. You are full of It. "I'll give unto him a fountain of Life, in him, bubbling up." There's something in It, that's fresh every day, pure and clean. It's the unadulterated Word of God in your heart and mouth, vindicating Itself, speaking for Itself. I don't care whether it's raining, whether it's snowing, what kind of weather it is, you are still happy because the Holy Spirit is in there bubbling up. It's the hidden Power. Notice. Oh, it's secret is within it.

L-122   It gives of itself, freely, to whomsoever will drink and use of its substance. Now you don't pick out, say, "Well, now I just have to go to the Methodist church because I'm a Methodist, for a revival. I'll have to go over here, but (if) I have to go a Pentecostal because I'm a Pentecostal revivalist." I'm telling you, when you got that well of Water springing up, that Fountain, when you're drinking by there, there is no difference, you give to anything that comes by. You're willing to give a hope of Life to a Catholic, to a Protestant, to a Jew, to an atheist, or whatever it is. You're really, really got Something in you, that's doing it.

L-123   You notice another thing about it, you don't have to pump it. You don't have to pull it, and pump it up. I've seen so much of that till it makes me sick, pumping up something; playing a bunch of music, and jumping up-and-down, or--or a great bunch of literature out in the town, and great big signs, "The man of the hour."

L-124 There is only one Man of the hour, and that's Jesus Christ, Who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. There is only one Messenger from God, and that's--that's Jesus Christ. Yes, sir.

L-125 You don't have to pump This up, or pull It down. Or, not, you don't have to join It. You just take It, freely. Amen. "I am the Fountain of living Water; you left Me, to go and make yourself some tanks." Now you don't have to pump It, pump It, pull It, and join It, dig It, nothing else. You just have to take of It, freely.
