Dear Sheep Pen Gatherers,

I’m so satisfied and thankful to the Lord to be gathering with each of you in God’s Sheep Pen each week, where we are hid away in our secret place, feeding and living on that Hidden Food. It is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, vindicating and revealing Himself to us.

He has hidden Himself so that others look right at It and don’t see It, but to us, His chosen Bride, we see It in plain view and believe every Word. We have stayed with His Word and His prophet as they are One and the same.

And if you’re a child of God, you’ll stay with the prophet of this Bible. It’s the Word.

Many anointed prophets today say “It’s the Holy Spirit you have to stay with, not the prophet.” Like the prophets of old, if we have a question, there has to be a correct answer. We must go TO THE WORD to see what the prophet before us said.

But there is one genuine Christ Spirit, and that’s the Word made flesh as He promised to do it.

ONE genuine Christ Spirit that He promised, Malachi 4, Luke 17, the Son of Man revealing Himself in human flesh.

Yes, there are anointed men. Yes, they have a calling. Yes, they have the genuine Holy Spirit. Yes, they have the right motive and objective.

Then how are we to know what is right and what is wrong?

Notice, they look the same. They’re anointed the same. But notice, “By their fruit...”

I hate to say these things but the hour is late and time is running out. This is what is being said and preached today by those grievous wolves Paul warned the church about, and the false anointed ones Brother Branham said would come. They are here among us, just as they said.

Here is a portion of a letter written from a minister. Their fruit is trying to cast doubt on God’s prophet. They warn their people that we are deity people by following the prophet and Pressing Play.

Listen to how deceiving this is.

I am offended that this demon has permeated our message ranks so that we now call the publications of William Branham’s sermons THE VOICE OF GOD. William Branham was not literally the voice of God, but rather the voice of a man that God used. The Bible never says he was the voice of God, but rather the Bible identifies him as the voice of the 7th angel. (Rev 3:14; 10:7).

Let’s go to the WORD and let God’s prophet expose this false teaching.

If I offended you by saying that, forgive me, but, I felt that might been resented, but, I AM GOD’S VOICE TO YOU.

Now who are you going to believe, this false anointed prophet, or GOD’S VINDICATED SEVENTH ANGEL MESSENGER? How can you be sitting under any minister that would believe or teach you such things? You better get in the Word while there is still time.

A horrible mistake has been made by the message community in deifying William Branham by making him the absolute. William Branham was never the absolute! The Word of God is the absolute.

Amen, the Word of God IS our Absolute. Who did the Word come to, you or HIM? Who is the divine interpreter of THE WORD OF GOD, you or HIM? Who did the Pillar of Fire vindicate to be Thus Saith The Lord, you or HIM?

Because you get two men, you got two opinions.

We don’t need two men nor their opinions, we just need what God’s prophet said on tape.

And it’s got to come to one final absolute, and my absolute is the Word, the Bible.

There it is, just as you said, the Bible is his and our Absolute, but then he says:

I know you, our brothers, you kind of look to me to be your absolute.

So wait a minute, that sounds contrary to what YOU SAID. He said that we do look to him to be our Absolute.

As long as I follow God, as Paul said in the Scripture, “You follow me, as I follow Christ.”

Is that not anointed? Did he not know what he was talking about?

What did God’s prophet just tell us last week?

We find out that when a man comes, sent from God, ordained of God, with the true THUS SAITH THE LORD, the message and the messenger are one and the same.

He said you can’t separate them, they are the same thing, but you say we should?

William Branham is no different than any mortal man, for he was a man of like passions, as was Elijah.

Amen, he was just a man for sure, but he was THE MAN God chose to reveal all His Word to, and lead us to the Promise Land. He was the one that God said, get the people to believe YOU.

Same thing, anointed, preaching the Gospel of pentecost, but denying the present-day promise of the Word being vindicated, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

How are we to know the difference if they are true Holy Ghost anointed ones? He give us examples so we would know the false prophets from the true prophet.

Balaam and Moses. Micaiah and Zedekiah. Jeremiah and Hananiah. In each case both were anointed prophets of God, but what did he tell us to do, STAY WITH GOD’S VINDICATED PROPHET. That is the ONLY way to be for sure you are following God’s provided Way, and are in His perfect will.

I’m only one that’s near when He does it. I was only a voice that He used, to say It. It wasn’t what I knew; it’s what I just surrendered myself to, that He spoke through.

That is all the Bride wants and needs. One Voice. One prophet. One Message. One messenger.

Oh Father, how thankful we are for Your grace and mercy to us. You told us there is nothing impossible with You. There is nothing impossible with us. For all things are possible to them that believe, and we BELIEVE.

Come join us Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, as we have God’s chosen Voice tell us all about The Anointed Ones At The End Time 65-0725M.

Bro. Joseph Branham

Dear Prospectors,

There is an artesian well of Revelation that is bubbling up inside of us like never before. We have heard this Message all our life, and have always believed every Word, but NOW It has become manifested in us like never before.

Now is the time, now is the season we are feeding on the secret things of God which is hid from the world. The thing that people laugh at is the thing that we pray for. The thing that people call “crazy,” we call “Great!” God has revealed to us there is only one provided way to be His Bride, PRESS PLAY.

But thanks be to God, we got hidden Food, spiritual Food, that we’re living on the goodness and mercy of the revelation of Jesus Christ in these last days, vindicating Himself among His people.

With each Message the Bride hears, He confirms to us that It is His perfect Will. It’s not what we THINK He is saying, nor is It what we THINK It means, IT’S EXACTLY what He is saying and others simply cannot see It; they are blinded. God has hidden It. They look right at It, but don’t see It. To us, IT’S ALL WE SEE.

As we gather each week, we can’t wait to hear what He is going to tell and reveal to us. This Sunday, He’s not going to give us some little hidden nuggets, He’s going to give us the mother lode and BLAST IT over and over to make sure we get It.

The prophet had been so long in the Presence of God, the prophets of the Old Testament, or any time, when they live in the Presence of God until they become the Word, their Message is the Word Itself. And, remember, he said, “THUS SAITH THE LORD.”


We find out that when a man comes, sent from God, ordained of God, with the true THUS SAITH THE LORD, the message and the messenger are one and the same.


Then when a man comes with THUS SAITH THE LORD, he and the Message is one.


The Heavens declare it, the Bible declares it, the Message declares it, all the same.


The prophet, the Word, the Message; messenger, Message, and Message, was the same.


Any man and his message is one.

Talk about a Gold Mine.

If you have any Revelation at all, I think he makes that pretty clear; The Message and the messenger are the SAME. Are you hearing what he said…THE SAME!! Then you can’t separate the messenger from the Message, ministers.

You have to place the MESSENGER in your church along with the MESSAGE he brought or you are not accepting ALL THE MESSAGE. YOU’RE NOT BRIDE.

Oh! Again, it makes the Message and the messenger as one. The spiritual Food is ready, and It’s in the season now.

For us, who believe God’s hour that we’re living in, the messenger He sent, every Word he spoke; these things are hidden Food.

How we love this Message, and just when you think, “How can there be more?” He places a capstone on It by telling us who we now are.

Don’t you see the authority of the living God in the living Church, the Bride? The sick are healed, the dead are raised up, the cripples walk, the blind see, the Gospel goes forth in Its power, for the Message and the messenger are the same. The Word is in the Church, in the person.

That Word IN US. We are the Message. We have the authority. This Message and us ARE ONE!! Talk about bubbling over and over and over.

The Bride is part of the Husband, the Church is the same as Christ. “The works that I do shall you do also.”

We are part of the Husband!!

WE ARE THE SAME AS CHRIST!!

You think it sounds great now, and blesses your heart just reading these quotes, just wait till you hear the Voice of God tell them to you lip to ear this Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, when we hear: 65-0718E Spiritual Food In Due Season.

You are invited to come join us. If you can’t, PRESS PLAY anytime, any Message, anywhere, and hear God’s messenger bring you God’s Message.

Bro. Joseph Branham

 

So is it today, that the Bread of Life that the children eat on, follows the Message of God, to sustain them during the time of the drought.

1 Kings 17:1-7
Amos 3:7
Joel 2:28
Malachi 4:4

Dear Promise Land Bound Bride,

What is going to take place this New Year?

The Bride has made Herself ready by staying with the Word. We have taken the Communion, applied the Token to our household, and sealed ourselves with the true, vindicated Word. We have not compromised, but have kept ourselves virgins to the true Voice of God.

What a glorious time we are living in. It’s a time that all the prophets longed to see; this very hour. We know by nature that the Church is getting ready to leave. The last closing hours are approaching and we’re fading quickly into Eternity. We must stay in line and keep our eye of God’s provided Way for our day: His Word, His prophet, who is the Word for our day.

How did He bring Christ here? By the Word of the prophets. Is that right? How will He bring His Bride here? By the Word of the prophets.

What can be done? What is to be done? He told us what we must do: consult the prophet, the Bible, where we cannot add to or take from It. If we do, God takes us from the Book of Life.

The hour is too late, we must be in His perfect Will to be His Bride. We never want to do God a service without being His Will, no matter how good it sounds. God made a promise how He was going to do it today. God said it right here in His Word, how He would do it.

How will He take His Bride? By the Word; not by a new cart, not by some theologian’s idea. But according to His Word He’ll identify Her. Don’t put one thing to It or take one thing from It now. Leave It the way It is. See?

For some people, it can be so confusing as there are so many anointed prophets saying what is the Will of the Lord for today. They say: “It’s wrong to play tapes in church, Brother Branham never said that. The ministry is more important now, and it’s God’s provided way for today. Stay with your pastor.”

So, it’s okay to hear the tapes, but not in church? We’re not to believe every Word on the tapes, just what the Holy Spirt tells us what is and isn’t the Word? Listening to the ministry will perfect the Bride? If I don’t stay with my pastor I cannot be the Bride? If I just play the tapes, I’m out of the perfect Will of God?

Every believer wants to do what is correct and be in God’s perfect Will. No one wants to do wrong or be in His permissive Will. There has to be a correct and right way.

Which ministers are we to listen to…all of them? Are we to check what they say to be the Word when we go home by listening to the tapes, or should we just take their word for it? What is the Absolute then, our pastor’s word, or what Brother Branham said on tape?

They are to preach the Word, amen. They are to keep the Word before the people, amen. But they are not to take the place of God’s prophet. They are not more important than God’s vindicated Voice. They can ONLY SAY WHAT IS ON THE TAPES. That is the Bride’s Absolute.

There is your five musts. It’s got to be that way. His time, His season, when He said it would be; and the man that He chose; and it must come to the prophet; and the prophet must be a vindicated prophet.

I’m not trying to condemn the ministry or say they don’t have a place, God forbid. I’m just saying, playing the Voice of God on the tapes to the people is the most important thing the ministry must do. Anything I say, or a minister says, or even a lay member says, must be word for word what God’s prophet said.

I hate that you are angry with me and you think I’m against your pastor, that’s not what is in my heart. I just want the Bride to unite together with the ONLY thing we can unite around, THIS MESSAGE.

In a time of such division, confusion, differences between the people, I believe this Message we’re going to hear Sunday is one of the most important Messages for our day.

Let us open our hearts and see what God is saying to the church, to the people on tapes, and people on the hookup across all the nations.

Before we can enter into the promise Land, there is something we must do. The Voice of God wants us to listen really close and not to fail to understand what He is saying.

He said just like when Moses was speaking to Israel, after he had been vindicated by God and the Pillar of Fire, and knew he was proven to be God’s servant to lead them out. But before they went into the land, He told them: “I call Heaven and earth to witness against you, don’t add one thing to what I have said, or take one Word from It.”

So say I, in the Name of Jesus Christ: Don’t you add one thing, don’t take, put your own ideas in It, you just say what is said on those tapes, you just do exactly what the Lord God has commanded to do; don’t add to It!

That is our LORD GOD commanding us that we can ONLY SAY WHAT IS SAID ON THE TAPES. We cannot add to, take away, place our ideas, our thoughts, or our interpretation to it. Just say what is said on the tapes.

If you believe these words spoken by God’s vindicated prophet to be truth, then how can PRESSING PLAY not be the most important thing the Bride can do?

How did He identify Him when He come? By a man with the spirit of Elijah upon him, come out of the wilderness. How will He identify His Bride? He promised in Malachi 4 the same thing, before He destroyed the earth, like it was in the days of Sodom.

Dear Promise Land Bride, you have the true REVELATION. You are in God’s perfect Will. You have recognized who you are. You are in God’s Program by Pressing Play. You are the Word. You are part of the Bridegroom. GLORY!!!

What a way to start the New Year. The Bride united together, following God’s command by, Pressing Play.

Come make yourself ready for the Rapture with us Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, as we hear: 65-0718M "Trying To Do God A Service Without Being The Will Of God."

Bro. Joseph Branham

Dear Local Flock,

I would like to have Communion once again in our homes on New Year’s Eve, December 31st. Instructions on how to obtain wine, and how to bake the Communion bread can be found in the links below. A downloadable link of the service will be sent out shortly on our website as well, or, you can simply play the service from the Lifeline app.

For the locals in the Jeffersonville area, you can pick up Communion wine on Friday, December 30th, between 1:00 – 4:00 pm, underneath the VGR canopy.

We will listen to 62-1231 The Contest, starting at 5:00 pm EST on Saturday, December 31st. After Brother Branham brings the New Year’s Eve Message, we will pause the tape and have approximately 10 minutes of Worship Songs as we prepare for the Lord’s Supper. We will then resume the tape at the place where Brother Branham starts the Communion service. On this tape, he omits the feet washing portion of service, which we will omit also.

As we turn to another year in His Service, let us rededicate our lives unto Him afresh through first hearing the Word, and then partaking of His Supper. What a precious opportunity we have once again to make our homes a Sanctuary to welcome the King of Kings to come in and join us.

God bless you,

Brother Joseph
