Episode 166: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 132

Episode Summary:

When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. (John 4:47-53)

51 Jesus said that a sower sowed. And if you’ll just take It in your heart and don’t dig It up every day to see how it’s getting along. Just sink It in your heart and settle It. That’s all. Walk right on. God will take care of the rest of it. He’s obligated to His Word.

Do you know that every thing that you see tonight is God’s Word materialized? Do you know your body is God’s Word materialized? Do you know them beans there is God’s Word materialized? Do you know that concrete is God’s spoken Word materialized? You know this whole earth is God spoke and said, “Let there be,” and He believed His Own Word and a earth come into existence? If it didn’t, where did it come from?

Well, you say, “It come off the sun.” Well, who spoke the sun into existence? See? Everything is God’s Word. The worlds were framed by the Word of God. The Bible said so. God just spoke it, and He believed His Own Word, and that’s what it was.

52 Now, God has spoken His Word to us. Just believe Him and watch what happens. Now, when He speaks something… This is His Word initially first, and any other word that’s contrary to This, is not God’s Word. It has to come from this Bible.

Now, this is His Word to the nations. Now, He sets after that, in the Church some apostles, prophets, gifts of healing and other manners. And if a prophet, or a seer, would speak any word, and it wasn’t according to this Bible here, come in that fashion, or contrary to the Word, it’s not right. But this is God’s Word first. And what God speaks secondarily, that’s secondarily His Word to the individual.

53 Some time ago, it was a two—couple of women in the meeting. One of them had a stomach trouble. And when… On the platform the Lord… I don’t know whether she’s at the platform, or in the audience somewhere. Anyhow the Word spoke out, “THUS SAITH THE LORD that you’re healed.” Told her to go eat anything she wanted to. Watch that when He speaks. That ain’t me, but THUS SAITH THE LORD.

And so the woman went home to try to eat, and when she did, she liked to died. She just had an awful case of it. It went on for several days. And one morning she felt something cool pass through her, weeks later. And she begin to eat. It was all right.

She run down the street to tell her neighbor that had a big lump on her throat. And the Lord had spoke to her and said that, “She was going to be well, THUS SAITH THE LORD.” And said… Then when she went out to see her, she found her neighbor just screaming to the top of her voice. The lump had just left her throat.

54 So what happened? Here’s what it was. The Angel of the Lord Who had spoke the Word was coming through that neighborhood confirming His Word. See, see?

Sometimes they can’t get on a spur of the moment. Daniel prayed. The Angel said it was twenty-one days, I believe, before (Is that right?)—before he got to him. Now, we must remember it’s God, but when God has said anything, it’s the Truth. Hold right onto it. It’s got to happen. If you weaken, then unbelief will take over. But you stay with the Word of God.

Let’s bow our heads. Loving Father, Who raised up Jesus, Thy Son, from the dead, we thank Thee for Thy mercies and kindness. Pray that You’ll be with us, and help us, tonight. We love to testify, because You said, “They overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and their testimony.” And I thank Thee for the Blood of the Lamb and a testimony.
