Episode 105: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 71

Episode Summary:

The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. (Isaiah 50:5-6)

54 Now, we find out that the Spirit of God was in Him. All the old prophets spoke of Him. All the spirits, in portion, every little portion, wasn’t glorifying hisself (true prophets), all the true prophets was manifesting Him, speaking of Him. And everything they said was fulfilled in Him. Showed it was the Spirit of God in them, it was fulfilled. What was it? God speaking of Himself. See? God manifesting Himself through these prophets.

55 Not taking glory, “Who’ll be the next President? And who’ll be this?” And hit you on the head, “Tell us who hit you and we’ll believe you.” That isn’t it. It’s something to manifest God. It isn’t something to make Brother Weathers here, or Brother Shores, or Brother So-and-so out there, a great man, and make him a greater than the rest of the men of his group, make him the greatest man in Phoenix. It isn’t to make William Branham something great. But what is it to do? It isn’t to make Oral Roberts something great, Billy Graham something great. But it’s the hearts, we’re trying to achieve something for the Kingdom of God. It’s manifesting God. All gifts and things doesn’t make one greater than the other, it just makes us all working together for the perfection of the body, to bring us together as one people, as a people of God. But when you see them going contrary, don’t curse them; just let them alone, somebody has to do it. But wait till Jesus comes in power.

56 Now we see all those prophets speaking. Every one of them was glorifying God and the coming Messiah. And when they got in the Spirit, they acted and spoke and lived the life out just like the Messiah did. If it did that side the cross, speaking of His coming, how much more will it after His coming, will put the Spirit of Messiah in the Church to act, do, work, and live like the Messiah? It’s the Spirit of God.

57 Discern that spirit, see whether it is of God or not. See whether it acts like Him. See if your emotions…If somebody kicks up something against you and throws dirt upon your life, when you know you’re as innocent as you can be, and you know that you’ve got the Spirit of God, don’t try to separate yourself. Don’t try to act mean towards them. Don’t curse them. Just walk on, knowing that God did that to give you a test to see how you’d take it. He’ll have to come to it anyhow.
