Episode 49: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 15

Episode Summary:

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. (Matthew 10:16-20)

106 Now, just don’t go away from church, today, and say, “Well, I kind of enjoy going down there. I like the singing, and the people are friendly around that little old church.” Don’t do that.

107 Brother, let your heart become a flame, say, “Here, I got to do something about this. I got to get out and see if I can get somebody saved.”

108 And don’t go out, saying, “Bless God, if you don’t repent, you’re going to perish.” No.
Go at it gentle. “Be as wise as a serpent, as harmless as a dove.” See, that’s the way to go. Approach the person, if he’s raising chickens, talk about chickens, to him, for a while. See? And then, first thing you know, you’ll be talking about the Lord. If he’s a farmer, talk about his farm.

109 If he sells automobiles, talk about his automobiles, for a while, “What nice cars you got,” and so forth. See?

110 Till you catch the Spirit, when Father says, “Now is the time to approach him about his soul.”

111 You can wind it off, see, “That’s a fine automobile. You know transportation, today, has become great. Oh, how the nations has been brought close together; and the cities of our nations, close together. Friends and mothers can visit each other. You know, it’s a wonderful thing to have automobiles like you’re selling.”

112 “Yes, sir. It sure is. Uh-huh.” You know, puffing on his cigar, or whatever it is. “Yeah, them, them is good cars.”

113 “Did you ever think of what the old-timers would have thought if they’d seen something like that?” Just keep going like that, you know.
After a while, say, “Yep, yeah, sure is.”

114 “You know, another thing it does, it brings like we having, like in revivals. People can come across the country, quickly, for a revival.” See, you’re opening the way, all time, you know.

115 If you feel Something chock up the way, stop right there, move over here. Like a doctor said, out at Phoenix, said, “Lord, fill my mouth with good words, and then nudge me when I’ve said enough.” You see? Yeah. “Nudge me when I’ve said enough.”
