Episode 58: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 24

Episode Summary:

And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor. And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water. And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham. Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water: And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master. (Genesis 24:10-14)

39 Now, just in closing, I’d like to say this. On our little subject tonight, the decision… Eliezer… Did you notice, when he come… Now, Isaac was a type of Christ. Through Isaac come Christ. And then, Rebekah was a type of the Church. Did you notice the—the Bride… And Eliezer found Rebekah in the evening time. The sign was performed in the evening time. That’s the time we’re living in. I trust that you get this.

It was in the evening time when Rebekah came out led by the Spirit. Do you believe that? How otherwise would she have come? There might have been many before her. But she was led by the Spirit in the evening time. And Eliezer, the messenger, the minister, the true servant to his master, was led in the evening time. And the true servant had left his creeds and things behind him and made up his mind that he was going to trust God in the evening time.

40 Wonder why that Rebekah came before any of the other girls. Did you know that Rebekah and Isaac was blood relation? Cousins. And the Bride of Jesus Christ is blood relation to Him: a Blood bought Bride. No wonder she was led by the Spirit. There was a connection coming together. There was a union coming together.

That’s the reason I think today that the borned again, the—the Holy Ghost filled people is connected with God and are led by the Spirit of God. That’s why they act so peculiar to the people. They’ve made their decisions. They’re going to go on out; regardless if the rest of them don’t go out, they’re going anyhow. I like that.

Don’t care if this one walks or that one walks, I’m going to walk anyhow. I don’t care whether this one… of what they say, I don’t… They call me anything they want to, I’m going anyhow. Why? The Life is in the Blood. And the Life is in the Church, the Christian that’s borned again by the Spirit of God. That’s the Spirit of Life, Blood relation to Christ. The Spirit of Christ in the Blood of Christ leading a child of Christ, the seed of Abraham. That’s why they move peculiarly. That’s why the world thinks so strange of them.

41 And remember, Rebekah, hardly knowing what she was doing, yet she watered the same animal, the camel, that was to take her to her bridegroom, to her husband, her lover. And always a beast of burden in the Bible represents a power. Like the beast come up out of the sea in Revelations, it was a power that raised up among the people.

And this beast was being watered. Rebekah watering the same beast that she rode on, that taken her away from her place here to her new home, is a type of the Church today, watering and blessing the same Holy Spirit that’s going to lift It up and take It to Its new home. The Church that’s praising and blessing and watering with thanksgiving to the Holy Ghost Who has brought the Word to you…
