Go Tell My Disciples

53-0405S

I used to say about, speaking down here, about an old spring I used to drink from. It was bubbling and jumping, and jumping and jumping, down around Milltown. I used to wonder why that spring jumped, so one day I set down there and was talking to it. Imagine a man talking to a spring? But I was talking to Nature Who made the spring. And I wondered, “What makes you so bubbly, so jumpy? Is because that—that the children come here and drink from you, or I drink from you, or something?”
If the spring could have spoke back, he would say, “No, Billy, it isn't because that you drink from it. It isn't because anybody drinks from me. It's something down beneath me here, pushing me and making me bubble and jump, and carry on like this.”
That's the way, every man or woman that's born of the Spirit of God. It's not you. It's not human emotion. It's because that the resurrection, or the Power of God, is in that human life, and is pressing up into everlasting Life, moving into Eternal Life. Something in here! You could not hold your peace if you had to. There is something within you.
