today say hold me hold me because I so a prid of the [Music] storm but if you hold me hold me I'll be s in My Father's Heart (10:26) [Music] in the 24th chapter of the Book of Genesis if you'll get your Bible right there in your home in your prison cell in your hospital room I want to share with you a message that God has placed upon my heart for the whole world and we find the concept of this story in the 24th chapter of the book of genes and we'll begin reading at verse 64 and Rebecca lifted up her eyes and when she saw Isaac she jumped off of her camel for she said unto the servant what man is this that walketh in the field to meet us and the servant said it is my (11:25) master therefore she took a veil and covered herself and the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done and Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent and took Rebecca and she became his wife and he loved her and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death the beginning of this story can be found in the earlier part of this chapter [Music] Abraham had a son by the name of Isaac and Abraham wanted a wife for his son and he told his chief servant elaser he said go down to the land of my people and find me a bride now in this (12:22) story we can see the three manifestations of one God we see a Abraham typifying the father Isaac typifying the son but when we come to elaser we find an interesting thing the word elaser means comforter and we know that the Holy Ghost is the comforter so when God got ready to get his son a bride he sent and he went in the form of the Holy Ghost to what he calls the church and he sent elaser down and he said go look for a girl and bring her home to be my son's wife so Elie eer loaded up the camels and took across that desert about 40 (13:19) miles which would have taken him roughly about 3 weeks to get to where Rebecca was at and when he he took that long arid journey through a hot and boiling desert the noon day son his only companion you can imagine his reprieve when he got to the land of Abraham's forebears and when he got there thirsty as I'm sure he was he came to the well the well of water and when he got down to the well can you imagine when he looked and saw this beautiful damsel of the desert as she was drawing water from that well in Abraham's (14:12) Hometown and when elaser saw this little girl he said to her feed me or give me something to drink I'm thirsty and I love what she did she said not only will I give you drink but I'll give drink to all of your camels as well you've got to understand Rebecca is a type of the church the Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ and you will always find the true bride of Christ down at the well in the word of God the well the water is a type of the word of God and the Bride of Jesus is not somewhere in the world enjoying the pleasures of this life you (15:03) will always find her with her head stuck in that old dusty Bible that many people have written off as just an ancient relic of superstition but to the Bride of Jesus Christ every word in this book is the whale from which we draw water it is the very place where we find our very life and here's Rebecca at the well and the Holy Ghost calls Rebecca he says to her I want to tell you a story I want to tell you about a distant land that you've never been to and in that land there's a man by the name of Isaac and he said Isaac is a wethy man and he said (15:56) Isaac needs a wife and you look just like the girl that he's looking for and I want you to think for a moment with me you be Rebecca for just a moment imagine a stranger coming across the distant land coming to you you've never seen him before you don't know who he is but something about the sound of his voice tells you he's all right Rebecca heard something in the voice of Ellie te her and she said to him I will go with you to marry this man that I've never seen oh she had no proof she had no evidence that Isaac was real she was taking the (16:44) word of somebody she'd never met before but somewhere deep inside of Rebecca she knew that something sounded right when the Holy Ghost begins to call you it into God's Church you won't need any evidence somebody said prove to me that God exists prove to me there's a kingdom of God prove to me there's an Isaac out there somewhere oh not the true bride the true bride of Christ says I've never seen him I've never heard him I've never touched him but I know that I know that I know there's an Isaac out there somewhere you that are watching me today (17:32) struggling in your faith I'm encouraging you to be like Rebecca and never forget when you first heard the call of the Gospel when you first heard about a man named Jesus something inside of you all responded that faith that deep calling unto deep you knew that Jesus Christ was real you can't see him with the eye you can't touch him with the hand but there is something in there that says he's real and so Rebecca she decided she would take that long arduous journey across these Barren deserts to go find a pipe dream you see (18:22) when the world sees us serving God they call us foolish they call us simple-minded they tell us that we have no thinking but they don't understand we have a gift called faith and the Bible said that every man does not have that gift everybody can't believe it's a gift and God grants it to those that he has called and chosen to follow him all the way to Mount Zion wherever you're at in your life today I'm reminding you to take a ride with Rebecca Rebecca said to elaser where do I go eleazer took her by the hand set her on this camel now (19:07) follow me carefully and go with me on this ride with Rebecca Rebecca I want you to trust me I'm a stranger to you but if you will believe you shall receive Rebecca got on the camel she left her mom and her daddy she left her home for a dream she left her home for a country that she had never seen or never heard of before but something inside of her the gift of faith said get on the camel and Rebecca began her journey day after day follow me now after day after day as the wind begin to blow and the sand begin to chap her face follow me (19:56) now as the days got longer and the noon day sun grew more ferocious an elephan te in its strength follow me on Rebecca's ride as phone calls begin to come to her like they do to you that tells you to give up and to jump off of that camel run back home run back to the world give up there's no Isaac out there but day after day the job of the Holy Ghost God himself would come back there right when Rebecca was ready to give up right when poor Rebecca was wondering have I followed a lie oh and here would come elisher when she would almost (20:47) stumble from the back of that Beast he would take her by the hand he would take her by the hand and say little Rebecca hold on and he would begin to read her the word of God he would begin to strengthen her and give her some water on the Journey Anytime you feel like giving up when your faith is getting weak I make this promise to you if you will pray the Holy Ghost will come and he will encourage you he will give you more faith he will strengthen you on your journey and Rebecca would stumble the nights would grow long and she (21:28) hadn't yet seen Isaac but he kept promising her he's out there in the we hour of the night the child of God can hear the Holy Ghost saying in the inner caverns of your mind he's out there he's coming again oh the world says to us Jesus is never coming but Rebecca ride on in how I tell you today child of God no matter how hard your life has gotten no matter what you're going through ride all the way until you see Isaac coming to you in the field day after day mile after mile treacherous Journey after treacherous Journey no Isaac anywhere (22:19) only a promise only a hope oh my God all that you and I have today is a blessed hope we don't have any evidence but I'm calling the bride of Christ around the world get back on your camel I'm telling you that about the third month of being in that desert I read to you in Genesis 24 where the Bible said Rebecca lifted up her eyes I'm sure they were weak I'm sure they were weary I'm sure she had cried a million tears for what she had suffered in this journey but the Bible said she asked the Holy Ghost ghost whoa (23:01) who is that man that I see running towards me in the field and the Holy Ghost said honey it's been worth every mile it's been worth every hard trial it's been worth the pain you've suffered because that man that's coming to you in the field is your husband that is the Lord Jesus Christ and he's running to you faster than you're running to him I want to tell tell you out there today around the world it's not time to give up it's not time to quit in my next telecast I'm going to begin teaching you on the second coming of Jesus Christ (23:42) we're so much closer than you can imagine we are at the precipice of world changing events our Lord is coming back to Earth again I don't care what these television preachers are preaching to you I don't care what the false prophets of the modern day are you're saying it's not about your best life now it is about your best life yet to come that time is almost here our Lord is coming back to Earth again and then Isaac reached out his hand to Rebecca and with weak hands as they were she looked in the hands of (24:20) a loving Savior and said it was worth the ride child of God wherever you're at in your life I'm having to leave the there right now but I'm calling somebody to never give up never turn around ride Rebeca ride keep reading your word stay in prayer and while the world is chasing after the jackles of the desert you stay on the camel you stay with the Holy Ghost and you're going to make it from Mount Calvary all the way to Mount Zion God has not called you to stay on Mount Calvary Jesus has left Mount Calvary he's waiting for you on Mount Zion I (25:02) call somebody today I pray that this message will perpetrate you and move you perpetuate you to your next level in God I love you with the love of the Lord call me today I'll pray with you I'll believe God for you around the world may you anticipate the soon coming of that precious Lord and Savior that I've Loved all of my life Jes Jesus Christ I greet you in his name I wanted to take a moment and speak to all of my friends and supporters across the world that watch Zion's call first of all I wanted to say thank you (25:51) for all of your support I wanted to thank you for your help for the words of encouragement that you send me every day either on the Internet or by phone or by mail and I wanted to stop and just let you know what God is doing a few days ago when I received a phone call from the president of this network about starting a television broadcast I had to pray long and hard about that decision because there's a million preachers on TV and I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going on television just to be on television and then I realized that (26:27) there is a message that this Ministry preaches to the world a message about going from Mount Calvary to Mount Zion a message about enduring to the end a message about overcoming addictions and sins in your life and how to do that and I didn't hear that message being preached very much and so I knew that we had a message but of course we really didn't have the means the cost is astronomical for the airwaves but God is open opening so many doors right now I received a call just yesterday from the foothills of Tennessee seven stations (27:06) that want to add this program to 30 million viewers by dish and Direct TV and then we want to do more time on this station and in Mississippi we received a phone call from the cable networks there they want to air our program and what we need is God through you to help us do that we are asking you today if you've been blessed by this broadcast there's going to be an address at the bottom of this screen I have no holy water to sell no prayer cloths to sell no gimmicks at all just a plea for those that would like to help this ministry go to the (27:45) next level and meet the need that the people have we invite you to support us today God bless you for anything you send or anything you do and I pray that you will be part of Zion call again God bless you in advance for what the Lord lays on your heart to help us go across the world with the message of Zion God bless you as my prayer [Applause] [Music]"

Summary

Rebecca's Ride uses the story of Rebekah's journey to meet Isaac (Genesis 24) as a prophetic type of the Church's journey toward Christ. Shane Vaughn teaches that believers are called to walk by faith, endure trials, and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit while awaiting the return of Jesus. The message emphasizes perseverance through suffering, rejection of a prosperity-centered gospel, and preparation for the ultimate union of the Bride with Christ at His Second Coming. Christians are encouraged to remain faithful, overcome every obstacle, and continue their journey from Calvary to Zion until they meet their Bridegroom face-to-face.
