The Family Altar Audio Devotional - Day 78

Ho, every one that thirsteth, come  ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat;  yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore  do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that  which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which  is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear,  and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an  everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. (Isaiah 55:1-3) 38 But when you go to this  cheap entertainment, you must remember that you’ve got to take lots of  money. A young fellow who takes his girl friend to these parties and  these dances, and so forth, is going to pay great lot of his week’s  earnings. And the old people who try to find pleasure in going to the  beer parlors, to drink away their sorrows of the week, they’re going to  have to pay great money. And what do they get from it? They don’t get  nothing but heartache. 39  And remember, you got to settle up with God someday for it. “And the  wages of sin is death.” You don’t make nothing here on earth, by it.  It’s a false mirage. Drinking will only add sorrow. Sin will only add  death upon death. Your final check will be separation from God,  Eternally, into the Lake of Fire. And you cannot gain anything, but  lose. 40 Then God comes and asks the question, “Why do you spend your money for those things that satisfies not? Why do you do it?” 41  What makes man want to do it? They spend all that they’ve got, all that  they can earn, to buy drinking, to clothe some woman that they run  with, or some kind of a worldly, lustful pleasures. 42  But we are told in the Bible, and are bid to come to God, “And to buy  Eternal joy and Eternal Life, without money or without price.” 43  Those things cannot satisfy, and the end of them is Eternal death. And  it cost you all the money that you can muster together, to be the—the  big shot or the entertainer, or the fun boy, or whatever you might be,  or the popular girl, or whatever it is. It cost all you can get  together, to do that. Dress in the very highest of dressings, and—and do  the things that the world does, only to reap a check of Eternal  damnation. 44 God said,  then, “Why?” What are we going to do at the Day of Judgment, when we are  asked why did we do that? What’s going to be our answer? What’s going  to be the answer to modern America, who says that they are a Christian  nation? And there’s more money spent for whiskey, in a year’s time, than  there is for food. “Why spend your money for those kind of things?”  Yet, the government would send you to penitentiary, for five dollars  worth of taxes that you had sent maybe to some institution that wasn’t  correctly set in order to receive taxes, to send some missionary  overseas. We’re going to be asked some day, “Why did you do it?” 45  We are a Christian nation, and billions are sent to those people over  there, that we’re trying to buy their friendship. Now they’re turning it  down. No wonder Khrushchev said, “If there is a God, He’ll sweep His  palace clean again.” The heathens can make such statements, to bring  shame upon us. What a ridiculous thing it is! And we call ourselves  Christians. 46 God said,  “Come, buy Eternal Life, without money, without price.” Life, to live  forever, and we turn our backs on It and laugh in His face. What are we  going to do on that Day? What’s going to be…? 59-0802 - "Without Money Or Without Price" Rev. William Marrion Branham
