transient, changeable, variable; it does not come and go when someone gets
behind a pulpit.  And it certainly is not exclusive to preachers.>>

I have called it a *Euphoria*, a result of handling the Word of God.  I taught
our young people to expect it when they handled God's Word, but to not be
dismayed if it didn't come.  

The Word and Spirit accomplish God's purpose, whether the speaker feels
anything or not.  

I noted many times that when I was struggling the hardest to get the words out
of my mouth-- the Spirit was doing its best work in the hearts of the
congregation.
