The Family Altar Audio Devotional - Day 292

Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. (Psalm 127:1) 45 A lovely little girl that’s recently…I used to go with her mother when we were young. And she was a lovely, beautiful woman. Her name is Huff now, her name was Lee before she was married. When I used to pastor the Milltown Baptist Church, they belonged to the United Brethren Church, but, oh, they liked me real well. And she…I used to go with her. They lived way back up behind Brother Wright’s here. To…And I used to go up to their house, and the little girl was a very sweet little girl, and she was a little girlfriend to me. And Brother Lee, a fine man, loyal to the church, the United Brethren view of the church, and one night he invited me to go home with him and stay all night. And I said, “Brother Marrion, I’ll—I’ll be glad to do that.” And so after the service was over, well, the—the girl and I got in the car and we went on. And I had to open a dozen gates, I believe, going around the hillside, and up, to hit a great big old log house. Well, we set out in the yard and waited for her mother and father, and younger sister, to come up. When they come up, we all went in and had a little lunch that night. The mother had got some stuff out and we eat, and—and the father and I were sleeping together downstairs, in a great big featherbed, and—and a strawtick under it, you know, real good sleeping. It’s better than any of these old Beautyrest mattresses you get, I’ll tell you that. And so we…The mother and the two girls went upstairs. 46 And that night while we were laying there, Brother Lee had a dream. And he had always debated with me about the water baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. He didn’t believe It. And he was a contractor. So he said, “Brother Branham, I just dreamed a dream.” And he said, “I dreamed I went up to New Albany. And I was building a man’s house, and he gave me the blueprint. But when I seen a certain way he cut his windows and fixed a certain place, I said, ‘That’s not right. It just can’t be right. That’s contrary. That, that isn’t right.’ So I built it the way I thought was right. And when he come back from Florida, from his vacation, I had his house almost ready.” 47 “He looks at the house, and he goes and gets the blueprint and looks at that, and said, ‘Say, you have built my house wrong!’” “And I said to him, ‘No, I haven’t built your house wrong.’” “‘What about this such-and-such a place?’” “Well,” he said, “that really don’t belong there.” 48 “He said, ‘Tear it down! If you expect me to pay you, you’ll build it the way the blueprint said.’” 49 And he said, “What do you think about that, Brother Branham?” 50 I said, “There is a creek running right down below the house here.” And we went to it. He said, “I don’t want any tearing down on that day.” 51 I said, “Get it right, now. Put it up according to the Blueprint!” 61-1231m - "You Must Be Born Again" Rev.
