Episode 172: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 138

Episode Summary:

Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. (John 7:14-18)

27 Now remember, take it, believe it. Put your faith and turn it loose yonder with God, and the Holy Ghost will come upon you. He promised it. Then, brother, the devil looked like a little bitty fellow.

A man was telling me the other night; he said he had a dream. And said he dreamed the devil was a little bitty old devil got after him. And said, “The devil said, ‘Boo.’” And he jumped back. And every time he jumped back, the devil got bigger. He jumped back, and he jumped back, and he jumped back, and the devil got bigger and bigger all the time. And after while, he… He knowed he had to fight that devil, so the only thing he had to do then, he said he just reached over and got the Bible, and he kept backing back. He said he made a hit at him, and the devil started getting littler, going down. Said, “He knowed he had to fight him sometime.”

28 Brother, every time he hollers, “Boo” and you jump back, he will just keep getting bigger, but when you take God’s Word and stand there and say, “THUS SAITH THE LORD, it’s written.” He will take his flight; he will get littler.

Look up there and say, “Well, looky here, what kind of condition are you in?”

“I’m looking at this; I’m looking to what He said.” Amen.

God had promised. David got this little old sling, picked up five stones, put one in the slingshot, old Goliath looked over at him and said, “Well, what am I, a dog? Look what’s coming to fight me.” He didn’t understand what it was all about. He said, “Why, today,” he cursed him in the name of his gods, and he said, “why, today, I will give your flesh to the birds.”

David said, “You met me as a Philistine, in the name of a Philistine, with an armor and a spear, but I meet you in the Name of the Lord God of Israel. And this day, God will give me…”

29 Why? He knowed what he believed. He had that little old slingshot wrapped around in his fingers like this, and away he went to meet Goliath, around and around and around. Well, he said he had five stones: J-e-s-u-s. What was in five fingers? F-a-i-t-h. Faith wrapped up in Jesus, here he went.

Brother, I’m telling. It sent the rock to the killing place, and down went Goliath. You know what happened? Then the Israelites took courage, and away they went. They cut Philistines plumb to the walls. It just takes one person that’s got enough courage to step out and say, “It’s right. And God said so.” Brother, you’ll down a Goliath, and your whole family will go to cutting Philistines the first things you know.

What’s that in your hand? What can you do? Testify, sing, do something another on the job. Do something for the glory of God.
