The Family Altar Audio Devotional - Day 300

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. (1 Timothy 6:6-10) 107 Not long ago, out in the West, I was having a meeting. I went home with an old rancher for dinner. Oh, and some of his people had been healed. He had give me a check there that would have bought me forty-five of these tabernacles, if I’d have wanted it. I said, “I don’t want your money.” 108 Howard, my brother, was with me, said, “Bill, why didn’t you take that check?” 109 I said, “I don’t want his money.” Let me live day by day. Not money I’m after. I’m one to serve the Lord Jesus. 110 He stood there when that woman was healed out yonder, the Melikians, in California. You seen it here in the Louisville paper. When they come here, two of those agents, and brought a million, five hundred thousand dollars, and offered it to me when I lived in this two-room shack. I said, “I don’t even want to look at it. No, sir. No, sir.” The love of money is the root of all evil. Keep away from that stuff. 111 This rancher walked out of there, he said, “Reverend Branham?” I said, “Yes, sir.” He said, “You see them mountains over yonder?” I said, “Yes, sir.” “How far you think they are away?” I said, “I don’t know.” 112 Said, “They’re eighty miles.” Said, “I own plumb to that, and plumb beyond that. It’s my grazing ground.” I said, “My, that’s wonderful.” 113 He said, “I see down in there. See that city?” He said, “I own the bank in that city; I own all that ground down around there, and I own this way.” Oh, all he owned! 114 Stopped, in his little station wagon. I looked at him, very nice man. I laid my hand on his shoulder, I said, “Brother, I want to ask you a question.” He said, “All right.” 115 I said, “Look right up This a-way. How much do you own up That way?” See? 116 He said, “Brother Branham, I’m afraid I don’t own anything.” 117 I said, “There’s where my treasures are laying now. I don’t have nothing down here. ‘But a rent tent, or a cottage, why should I care? They’re building a palace for me over there! Of rubies and diamonds, and silver and gold, His coffers are full and has riches untold.’” Yes, sir. That’s where the riches lays, up There. And where your treasures is, your heart is also. 53-0329 - "Israel And The Church #5" Rev.
