Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I am sure you have been in prayer and getting ready for our Communion service with the Lord tomorrow. As Brother Branham said, "it's a showdown time for the Christians."
As part of my preparations for the service, I have been studying Ephesians 1 and Galatians 4. I've also been listening to the Message, 58-0324 “Hear Ye Him,” (Middletown, Ohio) as it ties directly into the Adoption series we are going to be listening to at Church.
I would like to encourage you to study these Scriptures and hear this tape likewise before tomorrow's service. I am CERTAIN they will be a great blessing to you, and will help you BE PREPARED TO TAKE THE LORD'S SUPPER.
I certainly am looking forward to meeting each of you at His Table.
May God bless you.
Brother Joseph
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
What a joy it is to greet you again today in the precious Name of Jesus Christ!
I’m so happy to tell you that I just returned home from a WONDERFUL time of praying in the desert. The Lord has certainly refreshed my Spirit and given me answers to many questions that have been upon my heart. Our Lord Jesus is truly so thoughtful to NEVER fail nor forsake us!
I have certainly MISSED YOU, and CAN’T WAIT to see you all again. As much as I enjoyed my time away with the Lord, there was something constantly tugging at my heart for you people. I can truly echo the words of Brother Branham when he said, “I want to, first thing, I want to say that in my travels around the world, so far as I know, this is one of the most spiritual places where you feel the Spirit of God more than any other place I know.” AMEN, you are the cream of the crop to me, my friends.
As much as I LONG to be with you again, we will unfortunately have to cancel our Communion service. They are expecting a large snow storm to come in the early afternoon tomorrow and continue on through the evening. This was a very tough decision for me, as MY desire is to have service and be together with you all again, but I just can’t jeopardize the safety of this little flock. We know that HE knows ALL THINGS, and His timing is always perfect. I will be in prayer about having the Communion service next Sunday, or just wait till March.
I have chosen for the next series of Messages, the Adoption Series, beginning with the Message, 60-0515 The Rejected King. Like you, I LOVE the Adoption series. What a special Message this is as Bro. Branham tells us how the Lord took him Beyond The Curtain Of Time and then returns to tell His Bride what it will be like on the other side…PRAISE THE NAME OF THE LORD, I can’t wait. I would like to encourage you to listen to this tape at home tomorrow with your family. We know that ALL things work together for His children, and I believe that He is teaching us how important it is to study the Word ON OUR OWN, in our homes.
As a short testimony about this next tape, The Rejected King, you notice that Brother Branham speaks about going to the doctor and the doctor tells him that “you are in perfect health, every way.” Strangely, I had went to my doctor while I was in Tucson (not thinking about what Brother Branham said on tape), and he came back and told me the SAME THING. They said my blood results are the best they have EVER been! It meant a lot to me, especially after hearing Brother Branham speak about it on the very next tape I heard. PRAISE THE LORD!
Thank you so much for your prayers for me while I was gone. I certainly could feel them. I am so excited to see ALL THE LORD has in store for us this coming year. If the Lord is willing, I will see you this Wednesday evening at 7:00, at the Tabernacle where we will hear 60-0515e, Adoption #1. It is a very long Message for a Wednesday night service, but is there anything better we could be doing with our time than to be sitting together in heavenly places listening to God’s prophet bring us the Words of eternal life?…I think not.
May God bless you.
Brother Joseph

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Greetings in the precious Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
It would be hard for me to express how much I MISS EACH OF YOU. Father knows how much I long to be with you again. I have been streaming each of the services as it is a point of contact with you, which I am thankful for, but there is nothing like being there with you, seeing your faces, and worshipping the Lord in Spirit and in Truth TOGETHER.
We unfortunately will not have service tomorrow, as they have snow and freezing conditions in the forecast. Once again, however, I would like to encourage you to listen to the next Message in the Hebrews Series at your home: Hebrews Chapter Five and Six #1. If you are like me, I can hardly wait to come together as a body of believers again and listen to these wonderful lessons. It is just one of MANY nuggets in the Message when Brother Branham speaks about the Scripture, Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection… AMEN! Be under anticipation this Wednesday night to hear what that Scripture is all about…for it is our duty in THIS DAY to move on into PERFECTION. I can HARDLY WAIT to hear this Message with you, my friends.
Thank you for all your prayers for me while I am gone, and I certainly will continue to remember each of you in my prayers likewise.
May God richly bless you.
Brother Joseph
