Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Brother Branham said we may sing too much, we may shout too much, we may cry too much, but we will NEVER PRAY TOO MUCH.  It is once again pressed upon my heart for us to take this evening and give it unto the Lord in prayer.

I would like to ask you this question: When is the last time you said, “I’m not going to do anything tonight but go to my knees and speak to Him in prayer with my family.” We ALL need more prayer time with Him, and to hush the many voices that are constantly pounding at us. PRAYER WILL CHANGE OUR LIVES FOREVER. And we not only want to speak to Him, but WE WANT HIM TO SPEAK BACK TO US, and we just listen.

I truly believe that it is time for us to do this more. It is wonderful for us to be together, and WE NEED THAT. We need to hear the Word together, but what we also need is that ONE ON ONE contact with Him that can only come through prayer.  

Since the last time we had a home prayer meeting, many of you expressed how much it means “to be an Amram,” or how you “really broke through.” Let’s have another prayer meeting in our homes…let’s shut the doors, turn off our phones, get quiet, and just commune with Him. Let us practice so we will do this ON OUR OWN, and not just on Wednesday night when I ask you to do it…let’s pray like we listen to the Message: ALL THE TIME. Let’s pray like Brother Branham said about Amram, “like you’ve never prayed before.”

If the Lord willing, I will meet you at His Throne tonight at 7:00, and before, in prayer.  May God grant each of your special needs, and our greatest need: for a closer walk with Him.

Now, Heavenly Father, we only have this one approach, and that's by the way of prayer. And we're--we're coming in the Name of the Lord Jesus. We're--we're not worthy to breathe the Name, to use It. We're not... in no means we think that we're worthy, but because we've been invited to do it. And knowing this, that He said, "If you ask the Father anything in My Name, I'll--I'll--I'll grant it." And we are... if our faith can only stand behind that, being His Word and Who He is, then we're sure to get what we ask for.

64-1227 Who Do You Say This Is

May God richly bless you.

Bro. Joseph

Brother Joseph felt it upon his heart for us to have "home prayer meetings" this Wednesday evening at 7:00PM, remembering next week's Still Waters Camps. He said, "I was praying while away and I really felt it on my heart to tell the people I’d like to have a “home prayer meeting” this Wednesday. I really want the people to be involved with their prayers and thoughts for the coming camps. Pray that Father will change the lives of every young person that comes to camp."

Note that we will be having a Sunday morning service, June 4, but due to camp schedule, we will not be having a Sunday night service. There will also be no Communion service this weekend.

Please be checking branham.org for when we will be having our QT and services. Brother Joseph asks that we stop and have a special prayer at the same times as those at SWs.

Again, there will be no service at the Tabernacle this Wednesday, and only the Sunday morning service at the YFYC.

The summer schedule for the Branham Tabernacle is posted on the calendar.

Here is the schedule of Still Waters Camp and VGR:

June 5-9, camp #1. No service on Wednesday, June 7 or Sunday June 11.

June 19-23, camp #2. No service on Wednesday, June 21 or Sunday, June 25.

July 10-14, camp #3. No service on Wednesday, July 12 or Sunday July 16.

July 14-28 is VGR vacation. There will be no services during this time. The next service is July 30.

Aug 7-11, camp #4. There will be no service on Wednesday, Aug 9 or Sunday, Aug 13.

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
