Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Praise the Lord for another wonderful service we had in the His presence! It just lights my heart afire when I hear the prophet say,
…but in the day when the Son of man will be manifested, revealed, brought back the Church together with the entire Deity of God amongst His people, showing the same visible signs, manifesting Himself like He did at the beginning when He was manifested on earth in a form of a Prophet-God. Oh! Glory! Promised by Malachi 4, promised by the rest of the Scriptures. Where you worship at?
The house of God, seated (in present tense).
65-1128M God’s Only Provided Place Of Worship
We say AMEN, AMEN, AMEN! And what a REASSURANCE that we are in God’s provided Place of worship every time we “press play.”
Brother Branham said again, The Word interpreted is the manifestation of the Name of God. Praise the Name of the Lord! The tapes ARE the Word interpreted for our day, and they are THE manifestation of Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever!
It is His ONLY Provided Place of worship in this day. Blessed be His wonderful Name for opening our eyes to that REVELATION.
For the Christmas season, the Lord has laid several things upon my heart for the church. I would like for us first to gather around the altar in our homes this Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm, for prayer.
And as I have already announced to the church, we will have the Tabernacle open from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm on Sunday, December 24th for silent prayer. I trust it will once again be a special day for each one to come reverently, calling upon the Name of the Lord. And sometime during that same day, I would also like for us to listen to our Christmas Message, 63-1216 “We Have Seen His Star And Have Come To Worship Him.”
For New Year’s Eve, December 31st, we will have our Communion service at YFYC, beginning at 5:00 pm. We will omit feet washing at this service as we did last year.
I am excited for the opportunity to PUT GOD FIRST throughout the course of the next two weeks; to meditate on Him in prayer, to gain more revelation and faith through hearing the Word, and to Commune with Him and worship Him when we assemble ourselves together once again. For truly, He has prepared many Gifts for us, His Bride, which will be unwrapped before us this Holiday Season. Praise His wonderful Name.
May God richly bless you and your family this Christmas, and may the true meaning of Christmas, Christ in you, be the theme of your holiday season.
Brother Joseph

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
“…Lord, those man, maybe some of them present here, some of them hearing the tape around the world, may they realize that this is the calling out of the Bride, not a Pentecostal message.
The Pentecostal message was to restore the gifts back in the Church. But this is the calling forth of the Bride, another Message that was to come just before Sodom was to be burned.
65-1126 Works Is Faith Expressed
Praise the Name of the Lord! It was another powerful Message packed full of REVELATION. Lord let that reality, that WE ARE that Bride in this hour, anchor deep into each and every heart. We, Your Sweetheart, are doing our best to walk perfectly in the step of Your Message in this hour. We love you with all our hearts, and are awaiting Your soon Coming with great anticipation, Amen.
It is on my heart once again to open the doors of the Tabernacle tonight for silent prayer, from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm. What an opportunity the Lord has given us to come together in one mind and one accord, and call upon His Name. Whatever is on your heart today, He wants to just talk it all over with you this evening.
I would like for the church to have the same schedule and guidelines as we had last week, as noted below.
I pray the Lord will give you a special evening at the Tabernacle.
Now, man was born to have fellowship. Man, in the beginning, back in the garden of Eden, he had wonderful fellowship. God come down and fellowshipped with His company of men and women every evening. In the cool of the evening God would come down under the big palm trees, perhaps His sacred Light, as it was, shining down on Adam and Eve, in that great cathedral in the open. Fellowship with God. Had nothing to worry about as long as they were fellowshipping.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
It is always humbling for me to address you, who I feel to be the Royal Seed of Abraham, the Bride of Jesus Christ, the called out and Elected Lady of God, and those who recognize God’s Program for TODAY:
Lord God, Elohim, standing there in human flesh, showing that He would so anoint His Church in the last days. It'd be God working in human flesh again.
PRAISE THE LORD. That IS the Message! What a wonderful time we had together at the Lord’s Table on Sunday, as we heard ELOHIM speak to us through His prophet. Whatever need you came in with, it was given to you right there! For the Word came to the prophet, he spoke it, and His Word can never fail. It’s YOURS, and the works that follow will express your faith in Him! Praise His wonderful Name.
It is on my heart to do something special for the church this evening. The Tabernacle doors will be open tonight from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm for SILENT PRAYER. Come “as you are,” casual dress is fine. Just come by yourself or with your family and meditate on the Lord Jesus. Thank Him for sending the Message of the hour to restore all things. Thank Him for the revelation He gave you, for the opportunity to serve Him, for whatever is on your heart. And don’t forget, don’t do all the talking, let Him speak too. Just listen for that still small Voice to speak to your heart. You can take a seat anywhere in the congregation, or pray at the altar.
I would like to ask for each one to limit their time in the church to about 30 minutes or so, as the Tabernacle does not have the seating capacity to accommodate everyone. If we stagger the prayer times, everyone will be able to enter into the congregation and enjoy their time in the Lord.
I’d also ask each of you to be very reverent, and refrain from speaking in the vestibule and congregation area. We are not coming to be seen, heard, or for fellowship, but to WORSHIP Him silently. And please do not fellowship in the parking lot after prayer, but go home in the same Spirit.
It is my grand privilege today to set this appointment up for a personal interview between you and our Lord Jesus. May it be a blessing to each of you and your families.
Brother Joseph
Our most beloved heavenly Father, it is indeed a great privilege that we have to come to Thee in the way of prayer, and with the great promise behind it, that prayer changes things. And in this day that we are now living, there is so many changes needed, and we pray that You will change all the wrong to right. Change sorrow into joy; change sickness into health; change sin into righteousness; change gloom into glory. Grant it, Father.
Hear the prayers of Your people as we offer it to Thee in the Name of the Lord Jesus, Thy lovely Son. Amen.
