Episode 338: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 304

Episode Summary:

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (2 Timothy 4:2-4)

137 But today they don’t want to hear a Message like that. The people don’t want to hear That. They want to be tickled in their ears. Exactly what the Holy Spirit told me the day I laid that cornerstone there, said to:

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;…

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall…heap for themselves together teachers, having itching ears;

And…shall be turned from the truth, to fables.

Said, “When the vision leaves, you read Second Timothy 4.” Said, “Don’t forget, Second Timothy 4!” And when the vision left me, standing right there on 7th Street, a nineteen-year-old boy standing there, the Voice of God spoke out in the room, and He said, “Second Timothy 4.” That’s exactly what it’s turned to be. See? “The time will come when they’ll not endure sound doctrine.”

138 People want something. The Pentecostals want something that can pat them on the back, and let them live the way they want to. And they can play the piano at forty beats per second, and jump up-and-down, and dance about it; and women do the way they want to, and man the same way. The Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran, and Baptist, there is a many a sincere person in all those organizations. That’s exactly right. But that system has got them so bound down, till they think as long as they belong to that church, and their name is upon those books, that they’re Heaven bound. Your name on a book here on earth won’t mean that to God. [Brother Branham snapped his finger—Ed.] Your name has got to be written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, by the Blood of Jesus Christ, that your sins are forgiven. That’s right.

139 But they want that kind. That’s the kind of pastors they want in. They don’t want nothing else. And when God in this last days has shook every Divine gift that’s recommended in the Bible, every gift that Jesus Christ promised, every gift, and every sign, and every end-time sign. Everything that was promised in this Bible, as far as I can see, myself, has already been shook before the nation, and she plunges on towards hell as hard as she can go. Tell them? They’ll run on, anyhow.

Let me just get a few more Scriptures here before closing. All right. Oh, “Set forth for Eternal destruction,” is what they are, the Bible says.
