Episode 81: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 47

Episode Summary:

And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. (Isaiah 35:8)

44 Now, there’s no two Holy Ghosts; there only one Holy Ghost (That’s right.), only one Holy Ghost. And that same Holy Ghost that led Simeon to believe that he would not die until he seen the Lord’s Christ, that same Holy Spirit’s telling me, “Something going to happen.” Amen. I just believe it. And It’s telling you the same thing. Let’s be expecting it. Let’s get ready for it, make ready. Like taking a trip, get everything packed up. No, this—this kind of a trip, you unpack everything. Got too much packed up now. The trouble of it, we have to unload. So this trip you unload. You have to get right in the middle of the road.

45 One of the dear brothers, Brother… I was going to say Deweece, I believe… no, not… that’s Oral Roberts. Oh, he’s the state superintendent of the Assemblies of God at Indiana. I forget what his name is now. Anyhow… Brother Weed, Roy Weed, I guess you all know him. Brother Weed… one day, my cousin, Brother Vibbert, has one of the biggest Pentecostal Assembly of God churches in the east in Evansville, Indiana. He has whole city block, it’s just took into church meeting. So they had a, I believe it was called the Five Hundred Room. Across the street there’s a garage, so Brother Vibbert just bought it out and his brother running competition in Indianapolis, who can have how many thousand in Sunday school. So he had a man school over there that he just taught in on Sunday morning, five hundred in the class.

So I was supposed to speak that morning at the men’s class. I was setting behind Brother Roy, and Brother Roy said, “You know, I heard a man say,” and that was me, “that the—the middle of road is the place.” Said, “The middle of the road…” I believe that.

God said in Isaiah 35, “There shall be a highway.” Many of you dear Nazarenes used to sing, “A highway of holiness.” No, “There shall be a highway and (‘And’ is a conjunction; it ties your sentence together.)—and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness,” not the highway of holiness, the way. Correct road’s built so the water washes trash to one side or the other. So you’d either be real cold and starchy or a fanatic on the… But the way’s right in the middle of the road, right towards Calvary, right up the road.

46 So Brother Weed stood up and said, “A man… That isn’t good driving ethics.” He said, “If a man drove in the middle of the road, he’d get killed.” Said, “That’s not good driving ethics.” He didn’t know I was setting behind him. I touched him on the shoulder; I said, “That’s it, brother; you’re just so earthbound, you’re…” I said, “This road you don’t come back. It’s just one-way traffic going that way.” And so… He is—he’s a sweet brother, just as fine as could ever be thought. Oh, my, they don’t—don’t make them better than Roy Weed. But it was just so cute, you know, he said, “Now, you drive in the middle of the road you get hit.”

I said, “Brother Weed, we won’t get hit; we’re going one straight way. Just right way. We’re not coming back at all.” A one-way ticket, I’m glad I’ve got it then, aren’t you? a one-way ticket. What the Holy Ghost reveals through His Word, I believe that is truth; we stay right with it.
