Brothers and sisters, we would like to ask prayer for the believers of Mexico. You may have seen in the news of the cartel uprising that took place recently. The cities of Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta were directly affected the most. At this time, the reports we have been receiving are the believers are doing well. They are remaining in the homes with very limited travel due to safety concerns. We thank the Lord He has kept His hand over them and believe Father will continue to keep them safe.

Dear Lambs,

What an honor and privilege it is to say, “We are God’s lambs, whom He sent His seventh angel messenger to call out and feed His stored-up and hidden Manna.”

We are satisfied and believe this Message is the Voice of God that has been sent to perfect His Bride. We believe the shuck is pulling away from the wheat, and now His Bride is laying in the Presence of the Son, PRESSING PLAY to ripen.

Anyone that don’t believe that PRESSING PLAY and hearing the vindicated Voice of God speak is the most important Voice you must hear, is a person running from the presence of the Lord.

How true and important this quote is for today. There is so much division among the called out of God. Is it more essential to play tapes in church to hear the Voice of God, or is it now more essential for the ministry to minister the Word?

God has called and placed the ministry here to keep the Word before the people. They are Shepherds. The Word teaches this. They are to be respected and honored as men whom God has called and placed.

We cannot, and should not, ever say they are not the Bride. That is WRONG and not according to what the prophet taught us. I’ve heard people say: “If they are not playing the tapes in their churches, they are anti-Word.” You should never say such a thing like that. That shows me you have the wrong spirit.

I’ve heard others have said, “They all must stream with BT or they are out of the will of God”. You should never say such a thing as that. Only God knows who is and who isn’t Bride. That isn’t the spirit of the Bride to say such a thing as that.

Even some of the people that are streaming with BT are saying, “if you go to church to hear the tapes and don’t stream in your home you’re wrong!” That is incorrect brother and sisters. If you’re saying that, STOP, you are wrong. Everyone must do as THEY FEEL LED OF THE LORD TO DO.

Many ministers feel preaching is God’s provided way for today. We just see things different, that’s alright. How many times did Brother Branham make this same comparison? We just heard him on Q&A, when people were talking about Brother Jackson being wrong, he condemned them saying anything against him and his church.

I’m just preaching by way of this letter what I believe is God’s provided way for the Branham Tabernacle. They are our brothers and sisters. They love the Lord and this Message. That is how they feel the Lord is leading them. Praise the Lord.

They see it one way and we see it another, that’s fine. I can’t see it their way and they can’t see mine. To me, there are many ways God has provided, but there is only ONE PERFECT WAY, AND FOR ME, THAT’S PRESSING PLAY.

I pray I am not misunderstood here. Laying on of hands and praying for the people is 100% according to the Word. Anointing with oil and praying for the sick is God’s Word according to the Scripture. Brother Branham preached and taught both to us to be the Word. But I want GOD’S PERFECT WAY HE HAS PROVIDED….JUST BELIEVE BECAUSE GOD SAID SO. That is what I am striving to do.

I believe in the 5-fold ministry. I believe in God called men to preach and teach the Word. But, I believe hearing the Voice of God on the tapes is God’s PERFECT WAY FOR ME.

In hearing the tapes, I don’t even have to understand, JUST BELIEVE EVERY WORD I HEAR. There is no person, no minister, no other place I can go to where I believe EVERY WORD and place my Eternal destination, but the tapes.

Never before since the beginning of time has God give His people the opportunity and the ability to hear for themselves His Voice speak lip to ear. Every mystery is revealed in the tapes. Every question is answered on the tapes. Everything the Bride needs to be perfected is on the tapes.

Every Word spoken on the tapes is God’s Word. I might not understand or be able to explain everything, but I don’t have to. He just requires me to say AMEN TO EVERY WORD, and the TAPES is the ONLY place I can do that.

I believe with all that is in me, we are in God’s perfect Will and on the ship to Nineveh. I’d love for the world to come sail on our ship with us this Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, as we hear God speak to His Lambs.

Message: 65-0217 "A Man Running From The Presence Of The Lord"

Scriptures to read:

Jonah 1:1-3
Malachi 4
St John 14:12
Luke 17:30

Dear Royal Family,

There is only ONE vindicated place where you can go to hear the Lord speak through His angel and tell you, “Always remember, you are God’s children, a Royal Family with Royal Blood. There’s no better Blood in the world than yours. You are my children, scattered out over the world, that I have begotten to Christ.”

We are God’s Royal Family with Royal Blood running through our veins. Children that has been begotten to Christ by the Voice of God speaking through His mighty prophet. It can’t get better than that my friends.

Brother Branham, will the Bride need to move to Jeffersonville or Arizona to be in the Rapture?

So physically, we will not be in one place at one time. But glory to God, He had an even greater plan to bring His Bride together.

Today, not only is He gathering His Bride from around this country, but He is gathering US from the 7 continents of the world. From Africa to Antarctica. North America and South America, Asia, Australia and Europe. He’s gathering and uniting His Bride as ONE UNIT to hear the Voice of God.

He told us to go to church; even where they teach half the Word, UNTIL we can find a church where they teach THE WHOLE WORD. Praise be to God the Bride has now found that place, the Voice of God on the Tape is the WHOLE WORD.

Whether you’re in your Home Tape church, your church where many families are gathered, or in a hut in the jungles of the Amazon or Africa, wherever you can Press Play to hear the Voice of God speak lip to ear to you, you’ll be in a WHOLE WORD CHURCH.

We have found that whole Word church and we invite you to join us this Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, as we hear: Questions And Answers #4 64-0830E.

Bro. Joseph Branham
