Episode 306: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 272

Episode Summary:

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (Galatians 6:7-9)

245 And remember, sitting right back where Sister Wright is at, one night, that a woman was going to throw me out the door for doing something like that. Yes, sir. I said, “You’re not coming in my church with your old…” When they used to wear, or cut their dresses way down like this, and that funny-looking stuff, and about half of their body exposed. I said, “They ever come in my church, I’ll sure put them out.” And some little old snickle-fritz down here, she died not long after that; and then she called on me, dying. She was a Catholic girl, walked up there and set down with that like that. I looked back and I spied her, sitting up here, and they was singing. Took off my coat, walked back there, put it up around her shoulders. I said, “Madam, if you’re going to listen to me preach, would you please wear this coat while you’re in the church of God.” See? Sure.

246 She stomped out of there, and spread them little lips up. She went out the building. She said, “If he has got religion, I wouldn’t let my cow have that kind of religion.”

I said, “Don’t worry, she won’t have it.”

247 Then we had the tent, they called for me when she was dying. She had a heart attack, and she was dying. Her husband come. He, “Can, come quickly!” And I was right in the meeting. Big, tall boy, standing at the door, waiting for me. And I run as…

248 I got in my car and run out there. As I went up, I met that old nurse out there, that lives down in Howard Park, yet. She said, “Reverend, there is no need of coming.” That’s been about twenty years ago, maybe a little better. Said, “She is dead.” Said, “She’s been dead about three minutes.” Said, “She screamed as hard as she could, for you.” Said, “I got a message for you.”

Said, “What?”

249 Said, “Tell that preacher, that I said that about, ‘Please forgive me.’”

250 I went down there to look at her. Beautiful woman; and she had suffered so hard. She had little freckles across her nose; a pretty woman. And the freckles, looked like, stood out. And her eyes had pushed completely out of the sockets, and was halfway turned back. Course, her bowels and kidneys had moved, and the steam coming up all over the bed, like that.

251 And her husband looked at me, said, “Brother Branham, say a prayer, ’cause she wanted to see you.”

I said, “A prayer for her now would do no good.”

252 “The way the tree leans, that’s the way it falls.” See? “Be not deceived; God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he reap.”
