Greetings, my friends.
Because of my busy schedule and many of us working, volunteering, and helping in so many other ways with Still Waters Camp, I felt that it would be best to have a church schedule that puts a little less pressure on the people. The service schedule at the Branham Tabernacle during camp weeks will be the following:
One service in the morning on the Sunday prior to camp.
No Wednesday service during camps.
One service in the evening on the Sunday after camp.
There will only be a morning service this Sunday, July 10.
The schedule is loaded into the Branham Tabernacle calendar if there are any questions.
As always, my heart longs to worship together with all of you at the Tabernacle, and I will miss you during these few times that we won’t have services. Please, my friends, remember these camps in your prayers. The Word teaches us that "the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” Please pray for me, the staff, and especially the young people who will be attending. I KNOW that God will hear the prayers of His people, and it gives me such comfort to know that you are praying.
God bless you!
Brother Joseph
There will be no services at the Tabernacle this Sunday, June 12 or Wednesday, June 15. For those who would like to listen to the same sermons with their families, Brother Joseph has chosen 58-1002 "But It Wasn't So From The Beginning" for Sunday morning, 58-1003 "Looking At The Unseen" for Sunday evening, and 58-1004 "Faith Is Our Victory" for Wednesday, June 15.
Greetings, my friends, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
Many of us will be taking some time off this holiday weekend, so I thought it would be best to cancel services this Sunday and encourage you to relax, get some rest, and enjoy your families.
But even though we are not gathering together in person at our church building, I still want us to be together in the Word and listen to the same tape on Sunday (58-0927 "Why We Are Not A Denomination"). When in the history of the world have God’s people been able to hear the same sermon, on the same day, no matter where they are? We have a gift that no one has ever had, and all we have to do is press “Play!”
I’d also like you to remember the Communion service next Sunday. Let’s all do our best in the coming week to prepare for that very special ordinance that we do in remembrance of our Lord Jesus.
Get some rest over the next few days and enjoy your families. If the Lord tarries, I’ll see you on Wednesday at the Tabernacle.
God bless you,
Brother Joseph
Brother and Sisters,
How wonderful are these words that were spoken by God’s prophet, Brother Branham, to us on Easter morning, 51 years ago:
“Because He is rose that beautiful morning He made a way for us to be risen with Him”.
I am so looking forward to the coming Easter weekend where I know the Lord is going to unite His Bride from around the world, around Him and His Word. There has never been a time like the time we are living in, and the things we see coming to pass in front of our very eyes are like never before. His Bride is making Herself ready, finding Her place in His great economy, and His Tutor is reporting back to the Father saying: “You know what, Father? Your son is just like a chip off the old block. He is absolutely, exactly like You. Every Word that You say, he says 'amen' to It.” PRAISE THE NAME OF THE LORD.
I believe this will be one of the most special Easters with the Lord that we have ever had. We are going to get the opportunity to make our house a church like Rahab did thousands of years ago:
“But there must have been some tape boys slipped in somewhere, for the predestinated seed. They slipped over to her house and played some tapes. She made her—her own house a church, to receive the Message”.
Amen, let us make our houses to be a church home to receive THIS MESSAGE. What an opportunity and privilege we have to be able to be a “Tape Boy,” and turn our homes into a church that the Holy Spirit can come speak to us, through His prophet. There has never been a day that believers around the world can be listening to God’s prophet ALL AT THE SAME TIME...I told you it was going to be a WONDERFUL WEEKEND.
I have been praying and seeking the Lord what to do and play in our home churches for this weekend, and this is what the Lord has laid upon my heart for you to do and to listen to. I would like for us to all unite together this weekend on Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) for the following schedule:
FRIDAY
In preparation for prayer and thinking on the events of Good Friday, please read Matthew 26 and 27.
At 3:00 P.M. I want us all to join together in prayer in commemoration of our Lord’s crucifixion. May our minds go back to that day over 2000 years ago, to Calvary, and see our Savior hanging on that cross and say:
"But He was bruised for my iniquity. The chastisement of my peace was upon Him. And with His stripes William Branham was healed." Oh, if we can just read our name into Scripture, and really mean it, it's that what does it. Read our name into it, makes a receiving, pardoning, for when we realize that He was wounded for our transgression, He was bruised for our iniquity.
At 7:00 P.M. I’d like for us to hear the Message: The Perfection 57-0419
SATURDAY
Saturday at 7:00 A.M. (our international QT), 9:00 A.M., 12:00 P.M., 3:00 P.M., I want us all to unite in prayer:
We’ve got a universal prayer going around the world. Every three hours, or ever… that’s at nine o’clock at morning, twelve o’clock at noon, and at three o’clock in the afternoon, Eastern Daylight Standard time. We—we pray for the sick. And that goes around the world. People down in Africa, get up at midnight to offer up prayer at that time. When, I guess, around a million voices break forth together. Something has to happen. Don’t you believe so...?...When...Just think of it.
52-0720e - "Who Has Believed Our Report?"
The only thing it is, it’s just a little point of contact that...Now, when I send these out, there will be a regular form letter. At the same time, I ask everyone to pray at—at nine o’clock at morning, twelve o’clock at day, three o’clock in the afternoon. And that’s the world around. And people get up at midnight in the night, in old countries, they keep that prayer chain at the same time. Literally, tens of thousands and thousands of thousands are praying at the same time. God’s bound to hear; you’re just—you’re just storming Heaven with prayer, you see, so He’s got to hear.
53-1201 - "God's Provided Way"
And then, in there we form a prayer band, that people get up at one o’clock, two o’clock, three o’clock in the morning, the world around, according to the—the third, sixth, and ninth hour, nine o’clock at morning, twelve o’clock at noon, and three o’clock in the afternoon. And everybody with one universal prayer praying one for another, something’s got to happen; there’s millions of them. See? And we want you to get in on this, to pray with us and help us to minister to the people, that when we get up there we want you to have a part in the ministry.
56-0421 - "What Visions Are"
The healings, the Holy Ghost filling, and the re-consecration we will be receiving as the Bride around the world joins together at one time, in one accord to pray for one another…what can and will take place?
Then Saturday evening at 7:00 P.M. we will all come together to hear the WORD: The Entombment 57-0420. What a wonderful day this is going to be.
SUNDAY
On that great and wonderful resurrection morning, let us rise like Bro. Branham did at 5:00 A.M.: “Five o'clock this morning, my little friend with a red breast flew up at the window and woke me up. Seemed like his little heart would burst, saying, "He is risen.”
Hallelujah, He HAS risen and there is an empty tomb and we will be risen with Him some glorious day.
At 6:00 A.M., before our breakfast, we will hear God’s prophet and messenger bring us the sunrise Message entitled: The Great And Mighty Conqueror 57-0421s
At 9:00 A.M. let us sincerely join once again in our prayer chain, praying for each other.
At 9:30 A.M. we will come together to hear our Easter Message: It Is The Rising Of The Sun 65-0418m
At 12:00 P.M. we will once again unite together in prayer
At 3:00 our prayer chain will continue once again, as we prepare for the evening service and remember one another again, and thank Him for the WONDERFUL WEEKEND HE HAS GIVEN US TOGETHER and how we are looking forward to the Message we are about to hear.
At 7:00 P.M. We will be listening to our final Message on this memorable weekend together: And Their Eyes Were Open, They Knew Him 57-0421e
Father will certainly be with us this Easter weekend as I believe it will be a weekend we will never forget. I believe our lives will be changed and we will become more like Him.
May Father’s richest blessings be with each of you as we unite together around His Throne.
Brother Joseph
Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
What a service last Sunday night! It’s hard to imagine that throughout all of history, WE are living in the time when all the mysteries of the Bible are being revealed. No wonder all the prophets wanted to live in this day. This is the most glorious time in history, and God has chosen US to hear and believe His Word! My friends, we should thank Him every minute of every day.
I can’t tell you how much it blessed my heart to see you and your families walking up to take the Lord’s Supper. I’m sure it pleases Father to see His children in such love and unity. We are steadily drawing closer to that perfect church Brother Branham spoke of, where sin can’t even enter the door and the people weep at the close of service for the simple fact that they won’t be seeing each other for a few more days.
My heart jumps within me as I think about what we have in store for us in the upcoming Church Age series. Since the next sermon is over three hours long, we will be canceling Wednesday service and moving it to Saturday evening at 5:00. We will have only one service on Sunday, starting at 5:00PM.
I also want to remind you that there will be NO SERVICES during Easter weekend. I’ve been praying about recommending tapes for you to play over that weekend, and I will be getting back with you as the Lord leads. It always encourages me to think that there are thousands of people around the world listening to the same sermon on the same day.
God bless you, my friends. I have great expectations for this weekend!
Brother Joseph
