Episode 132: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 98

Episode Summary:

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. (Luke 10:21-22)

6 The Scriptures does not contradict Themselves. And there’s no Scripture in the Bible that contradicts Itself. I’ve asked for that for years and years. No Scripture, no statement that can contradict Itself, ’less it can be straightened with the rest of the Word of God to rightly put it together. Which Jesus thanked God for, that it was hid from the eyes of the wise and prudent and would be revealed to babes such as would learn. See? Now, we got to be humble in this. We’ve got to throw away our ideas about it; we’ve got to accept God’s plan of it. That’s the only way you’ll ever be able to get anywhere with God for salvation for soul or body. It’ll have to come through God’s provided plan.

Now, if you’ve got a artesian well on this side of the mountain, spurting water by the millions of gallons a hour, and a crop on the other side burning up for water, now, you could stand and scream until you’re took your tonsils out, and would… and screaming, “Oh, great water, come over here and water my crop.” It won’t do it. No, sir. It’ll stay right there. But if you’ll work according to the laws of gravitation, and get this water to come around the mountain and water your crop, it’ll do it, if you’ll work according to the laws.

7 Now, there’s enough electricity in this room to light the room, if it was correctly, and like would be out in a big field where it’s dark. And we know that Franklin and so forth has proved that science, that electric’s in the air. Now, take a copper wire, and hold it up, drop it down, and you… The static, the electricity pick up, till it will almost light the earth, if it was a mile high in the air, would set the earth a fire.

Now, you could stand out in that field and scream as loud as you wish to, “I’m lost. I’m lost. Great electric, come now and light the way up, that I can see how to get in out of this darkness.” It’ll never do it. But if you’ll work according to the laws of electricity, why, it’ll light the way up, so you could get out. But you have to work according to those laws.

Now, God has a law too. And there’s healing and salvation in God’s ‘termination for you, if you’ll work according to His plans and His laws on such. So that’s the way we must plan the meeting, that’s the way; seven times around the world, I have been of all different races, kinds of people by the tens of thousands. I have seen great things that our Lord has did. But I always notice that it takes people that will humble themselves and lay aside their own thoughts of it, and just take God’s thought of it, and work according to His plan, which is faith in what He said.
