Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I can only imagine how blessed you were after taking the place of an Amram last night, calling upon the Name of the Lord in prayer. I certainly hope your heart was as encouraged as mine was.
And the best thing about it, friends, is that we can be an Amram EVERY DAY. Just think, as you were praying, THIS was going on in Heaven:
What do you think is going on in heaven about this time? Hallelujah. You know, when things goes on down here, there's something going on up there too. Amen. I can see God raise from His throne, walk over, say, "Gabriel, Gabriel, where are you?"
Gabriel say, "Here I am, Lord."
"Come here; going to show you something." Said, "All you Angels come around here a minute; I want to show you something. I got people that believes Me. Yes, I got people who trust Me. Come here now.
It's good for all you Angels, take a look at this. Look."
I know Papa God’s heart must have swelled yesterday, as He once again pointed His Angels to a group of people that are depending on Him, and that love Him. What a privileged people we are, friends, to be associated with the likes of Amram, who approached the Throne of God through the avenue of prayer. For truly, we may sing too much, we may shout too much, we may clap too much, but we will NEVER pray too much. Praise the Name of the Lord. I know He heard EVERY ONE of them.
I just wanted to announce to the church that if the Lord willing, I will be leaving for the next few days to get away before our very busy schedule at Still Waters, and thus, Brother Samuel will be taking the next few church services. I would certainly appreciate your prayers for me during this time.
And as I know many of you are making plans for vacation, we will soon post the calendar which shows the church service schedule during the Still Waters Camps and summer vacation at Voice Of God Recordings.
May God bless you my friends,
Brother Joseph
Greetings, my friends, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
I’m still rejoicing over Sunday’s service (56-0513 Teaching On Moses)! I just loved what our Brother Amram said,
“And the burden is mine. If somebody don't pray for our poor people, what will become of them? What's going to happen if somebody don't have the people at heart? Somebody has got to pray.”
Brother Branham said Amram came home worn out from work, and his heart was so heavy because of the suffering of his people. Jochebed had supper ready for him, but he just couldn’t eat, the burden was too great. Later on, his wife came up to his room to check on him. Amram was discouraged. He said, “Oh, but, dear, when I pray so much, and still God don't hear me, and seems like it just gets worse all the time. The more I pray, the worse it gets.”
However, Brother Branham said that God was hearing his prayers. Here’s what He said,
“All you Angels come around here, a minute, I want to show you something. I got people that believe Me. Yes, I got people who trust Me…
… There's a man with his hands up in the air, on his knees, calling on Me. There is a crying mother, and two little crying children. They're trusting Me to the very end.”
I don’t know if you feel like I do, but I WANT TO BE AN AMRAM! That gallant man changed the world, and I believe that God will hear His Bride even more if we can get to the place where Amram was. We must get there! Somebody’s got to do it!
I feel it on my heart to encourage the church to go to prayer like Amram did. Instead of service at church this Wednesday, let’s go into our secret places and cry out to the Lord Jesus. Pray for God’s people with everything that is in you and stay there for as long as it takes. The worldly influences we go through every day are far worse than the taskmasters of Egypt. This world is horrible, and we’ve got to get out of here! If one man’s prayer changed the world, then what would the prayers of the Bride around the world do?
I believe that God is going to look over the banister this Wednesday evening, call His Angels to attention, and say, “I got people that believe Me! I got people that will trust Me to the end!
Our next scheduled service is this Sunday, but maybe these prayers will bring on the Coming of the Lord before then. Whether He comes this week or not, I have a feeling that things are going to change.
God bless you, my friends. Remember me when you are in your secret closet this Wednesday evening.
Brother Joseph
Greetings in the Name of our resurrected Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!
My friends, if you’ve been in service at the Tabernacle during the Seven Seals series, then you definitely know what “Stimulation from Revelation” is! I have been so blessed to enjoy these Seals with each of you, and my expectations just seem to get higher and higher for each service. I can only imagine what the Seventh Seal is going to give us, but the way things are going, we might never have a chance to meet here on earth again. Maybe this Easter weekend will see Rapturing Faith come into the Bride and we will go to meet our Lord Jesus in the air. It could happen at any time, so it might as well be Easter weekend!
As you know, I’ve had it on my heart to have the same schedule as we did last year at Easter. I want us to take this sacred weekend and think about the events that took place 2,000 years ago. Think about the crucifixion on Good Friday. Think about what was going through the disciples’ minds on Saturday, when all seemed to be lost. And finally, think about their joy when the Lord Jesus appeared to them on Easter Sunday.
As you think on these things, here is the schedule I would like us to follow:
Friday
3:00PM United in prayer in commemoration of the Lord’s crucifixion. These are the same times that Brother Branham instituted for his prayer chain.
7:00PM 57-0419 The Perfection
Saturday
7:00AM International Quiet Time
9:00AM Unite in prayer
12:00PM Unite in prayer
3:00PM Unite in prayer
7:00PM 57-0420 The Entombment
Sunday
5:00AM Arise
6:00AM 57-0421s The Great And Mighty Conqueror
9:00AM Prayer chain for one another
9:30AM 65-0418m It Is The Rising Of The Sun
12:00PM Unite in prayer
3:00PM Prayer remembering one another, thanking Him for the wonderful weekend, and how we are looking forward to another message
7:00PM 57-0421E And Their Eyes Were Opened And They Knew Him
If our Lord Jesus comes for us this weekend, then I’m looking forward to spending a thousand years with each of you, and I’m sure these Seven Seals will be a big part of our conversations. If He tarries another week, then I am looking forward to seeing you at the Tabernacle for the last two sermons in the Seals series.
Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
It’s wonderful to be back at home with each of you at the Tabernacle and with our loyal friends who are on the hook-up to our services. Spending time away is bittersweet; I get my batteries charged but I miss the fellowship with you all. I am looking forward to that great day when we will never need to part, and we will live for eternity in the presence of our dear Lord Jesus!
I hope that you are all excited about our upcoming meetings. I am SURE that it is His perfect Will that we have these meetings, and I am excited beyond measure to see what He is going to do as we hear the prophet preach the Seven Seals series. For the next month, we will be meeting at the YFYC on Saturdays at 4PM, and Sundays at 2PM.
I’d like to encourage you to study these sermons BEFORE we play them together, and then review them in the days afterwards. Go over them, study them with your families, pray about what the prophet is saying, ask for more revelation, and prepare for service.
Many of you have asked about having services on Easter weekend, but we won’t be able to have these meetings or have an open house at VGR because of lack of space at the YFYC. During Easter weekend, I feel to do something like we did last year, and gather together with our families in our homes to hear the prophet bring the Easter Message. We’ll be praying about which sermons we will be listening to during Easter weekend, and finish up the Seals series the weekend after Easter.
Please come expecting great things for the Seven Seals series, both here in Jeffersonville and for those who will be on the hookup through branhamtabernacle.org. Our expectations cannot be too high!
God bless you, my friends.
Brother Joseph
The start of the Seven Seals series begins on Saturday evening, March 18 at the YFYC. Service starts at 4:00. The next service will be Sunday afternoon, at 2:00.
