Dear Precious Friends,
My beloved, my darlings of the Gospel, my begotten children unto God.
What a wonderful weekend we had with our Lord. It was like nothing else, just spending time with Him, speaking to Him, hearing His Voice, worshipping Him, thanking Him, and telling Him how much we love Him.
What an honor it is to be living in this day and being a part of Scripture being fulfilled. How can mortal words express all that is in our heart? As the prophet said, It’s not me, there is just Something deep inside, pushing and bubbling up in me; an artesian well of the Holy Spirit. It is the Bride making Herself ready for the Bridegroom.
How excited a bride gets right before her wedding. Her heart starts beating so rapidly as the last few seconds pass....she knows the time has finally arrived. “I have made myself ready. He is coming for me. We will now be ONE.”
We are truly living in the last closing moments of time. The Bride will soon be raptured and called to our honeymoon Supper. He is taking us to new heights. There is no more question; no more wondering; WE ARE THE BRIDE.
And He is not done yet. He still wants to bless and encourage His beloved chosen Bride. How He loves to encourage Her and tell Her how much He loves Her. How proud He is of Her.
He has yet another very special Revelation to give Her. When there are so many voices in the world rejecting playing the tapes, He once again wants to reassure the Bride they are in His perfect Will and His provided Way.
His program has always been rejected. His Bride has always been persecuted. The people are always wanting their own way, their idea. They want a different leader to lead them. But God sent ONE leader to lead His Bride, Himself, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit of this day, as in ALL OTHER DAYS, IS GOD’S PROPHET.
They have always wanted men to lead them. In Samuel’s day, God said they were rejecting Him by not wanting Samuel to lead them. It seemed strange as Samuel was a man too, but the difference was Samuel was the man God chose to lead them. It was not Samuel, It was God using Samuel. He was God’s chosen VOICE AND MAN TO LEAD THEM, but they wanted other voices.
Saul knew the people feared Samuel, so he had to proclaim, “Saul AND Samuel”. He had to scare the people so they would follow him. Truly, he was called. Truly, he had been anointed by Samuel to be their king, but God STILL had a provided Way, and the prophet He chose to lead them, even to lead Saul. God spoke to His prophet and told Saul what to do. When Saul decided he was anointed too, and didn’t want to hear just the prophet, God took his kingdom away.
So then when they did that, when the great defeat come, then Saul cut up two great ox and sent them to all the people. And I wish you would notice here, when Saul sent the pieces of the ox to all Israel, and said, “Let every man that will not follow Samuel and Saul, let him, this ox, be as this.” Do you see how deceitful he tried to represent himself with the man of God? How—how unchristian it was! The fear of the people was because of Samuel. But Saul got them all to follow him because that the people feared Samuel. “Let them come after Samuel and Saul.”
One day Saul was so troubled. He couldn’t get an answer from God. He couldn’t get comfort. He wanted answers. He knew where he had to go to get the answer he wanted; there was only one place, GOD’S PROPHET, SAMUEL. He had passed over, but he was still THE VOICE OF GOD, EVEN IN PARADISE.
Father wanted His Bride to know who He chose to lead His Bride in this last day, so He took His mighty angel beyond the curtain of time to once again tell us, comfort us, and encourages us that we are in His perfect and provided Will.
Listen very carefully to ALL the prophet is saying.
Now, I would not want you to repeat this. This is before my church, or my sheep that I am pastoring.
Before he tells us anything, he first wants us to know this is ONLY for US, HIS CHURCH, HIS SHEEP, THE ONES HE IS PASTORING. Thus, if you can’t say, “Brother Branham is MY pastor,” I’ve said it before, but there is simply no need to read any further, this is not for you, plus he didn’t want us to even repeat it to no one but to them who believes and says, “Brother Branham is my pastor”.
Right there is our answer to the question we get so much criticism for saying: “Brother Branham is our pastor.” (That’s them tape people.) They’re correct, he is, and we are.
Please don’t get upset with me, I am not saying these things to upset anyone, that would be wrong, but it’s what He is saying to the Bride. I’m not putting my interpretation to it, He’s telling it plainly...God’s Word needs no interpretation.
Whether it was, I was in this body or out, whether it was a translation, it wasn’t like any vision I ever had.
Now he tells us this was not like any vision he had ever had. He went someplace he had never been. It was even GREATER than any vision he had ever saw. He wasn’t dreaming, he saw his body on the bed; HE WAS THERE.
The Bride of Jesus Christ, let that sink in real good. It was the Bride of Jesus Christ on the other side, present tense, that come running up to him, screaming and grabbing him, throwing their arms around him and saying, “Oh, our precious brother!”
He was There; he could feel it; he could hear them. They were talking to him. He stopped, and looked, he was young. He looked back at his old body lying there with his hands behind his head.
Now we have established HE WAS THERE, and It was the Bride of Jesus Christ he was seeing. Now let’s hear what a voice from above was saying to him.
And then that Voice that was speaking, from above me, said, “You know, it is written in the Bible that the prophets were gathered with their people.”
God was not only showing and encouraging His prophet, but there was much more to It. He would come back and tell us not only where we’re going and what it would be like, but to tell us we are in His perfect Will by Pressing Play and that’s how you get to where the Bride is.
Brother Branham said he wanted to see Jesus so bad. But they said to him:
“Now, He is just a little higher, right up that way.” Said, “Someday He will come to you.”
They proceeded to tell him WHO HE WAS.
“You were sent, for a leader. And God will come. And when He does, He’ll judge you according to what you taught them, first, whether they go in or not. We’ll go in according to your teaching.”
Who was sent as a leader? We are going to be judged according to what who taught us? We will enter into Heaven according to whose teaching?
One can say, I teach my people just what Brother Branham said…amen, you should and I believe some do, but don’t make it “Brother Branham and I.”
Let’s read on as He wants to make SURE we understand more clearly.
And them people screamed, and said, “We know that. And we know we’re going with you, someday, back to earth.” Said, “Jesus will come, and you’ll be judged according to the Word that you preached us.
We’ll be judged by the Word HE preached to us. Thus, judgment comes from what the Voice of God said on the tapes. How can anyone say the Voice on the tapes is not the MOST IMPORTANT VOICE you can hear?
“And then if you are accepted at that time, which you will be,”
Are you ready? This will clench the nail on what is the perfect Will of the Lord for the Bride of Jesus Christ. The Bride is telling the prophet what HE WILL DO. No one else. Not a group. Not another pastor, God’s prophet, WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM.
“then you will present us to Him, as your trophies of your ministry.”
Who is going to present us to the Lord Jesus?
The days of just listening to the prophet are over?
Brother Branham never said to play the tapes?
The Bride is screaming and saying if you want to be the Bride you better Press Play.
Still not convinced? Well, there’s even more.
Said, “You will guide us to Him, and, all together, we’ll go back to the earth, to live forever.”
Who is to guide us to Him? Who is leading the Bride? The Bride is telling him that HE WILL GUIDE THE BRIDE TO HIM, then we will go back to earth to live forever.
If there is ANY Revelation in you at all, if you claim you believe This Message, I pray that God will reveal to you that you MUST put His Voice, the tapes, FIRST.
Pastors, put the prophet back into your pulpits. The tapes are the most important Voice you must hear as you are going to be judged by THAT VOICE.
According to the Word, we are in His perfect and provided Will for our day by listening to the Voice of God on the tapes.
If God has opened your eyes to the true Revelation to His Word, I invite you to join us Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, as we hear 60-0515M The Rejected King.

Dear Bride of Christ,
What a glorious time the Bride will be having this Easter Weekend. I believe it will be one of the highlights of our lives; a time we will never forget. A Red-Letter weekend.
Each Easter has been such a special time for the Bride, as we close our doors to the outside world by shutting down all our devices and worldly distractions, and just rededicate our lives to Him. It is a whole weekend dedicated to Him in worship, as we speak to Him throughout each day, and then hear His Word.
The enemy has our lives so distracted and busy with so many things of life till it has become so hard to just shut the world off and speak to Him. Even the very devices we use to hear the Word, Satan uses to jeopardize our time.
But this weekend will be different, and like no other Easter weekend we have ever had.
When the Lord placed on my heart to hear the Seals, I had no idea how the dates would fall. But as always, His timing is perfect. Two Sundays ago, we had the honor to hear the 4th Seal, the Eagle Age, on April 6th, the prophet’s birthday; how appropriate.
But now, the Lord has even more in store for us. As I said, when I felt the Lord placed on my heart to play the Seals, I knew it would take several weeks to finish playing them as there are 10 Messages in the series.
As I looked at the calendar, I saw that Easter fell before we’d finish hearing the whole series. I thought within myself, I guess we have to stop listening to the Seals and He will give me Messages for Easter.
In an instant I saw…it will be PERFECT. We can continue playing the Seals with the Seventh Seal being played on Easter Sunday Morning. I couldn’t believe it, it perfectly aligned in the schedule. I knew right then, THIS IS YOU, LORD.
I have been so excited and under great anticipation for our Easter time together with each other, and with Him. I knew He made the schedule for us.
Thus, if the Lord is willing, we will continue to listen to the Seals throughout our very special Easter Weekend.
THURSDAY
It was Thursday night that the Lord Jesus had the Last Supper with His disciples, in commemoration of the Passover before the exodus of the children of Israel. What an opportunity we have to commune with the Lord in our homes, before our sacred weekend, and ask Him to forgive us of our sins, and to give us all what we have need of in our journey.
Grant it, Lord. Heal the sick. Comfort the weary. Give joy to the oppressed. Give peace to the weary, food to the hungry, drink to the thirsty, joy to the saddened, power to the church. Lord, bring Jesus in our midst tonight, as we’re fixing to take the communion representing His broken body. We pray, Lord, that He will visit us in an outstanding way...
Bless others, Lord, all around the world, that’s waiting with joy for the coming of the Lord, lamps trimmed, and the chimneys all polished, and the Light of the Gospel shining in dark places.
Let us all start at 6:00 P.M. on your local time zone to hear Communion 62-0204, and then the prophet will take us into our special Communion and Feet Washing Service, which will be playing on the Lifeline app (in English), or you can download the service in English or other languages by clicking on the link below.
Following the Message, we will gather with our families in our homes and take the Lord’s Supper.
FRIDAY
Let us go to prayer with our families at 9:00 A.M., and then again at 12:00 P.M., inviting the Lord to be with us and fill our homes with the Holy Spirit as we dedicate ourselves to Him.
May our minds go back to that day at Calvary, about 2000 years ago, and see our Savior hanging on the cross, and then commit ourselves likewise to always do that which pleases the Father:
And this day, being so important, one of the greatest days, let us look at three different things that day meant to us. We could take hundreds. But, this morning, I have just chosen three different, vital things that we want to look at, for the next few moments, that Calvary meant to us. And I pray that will condemn every sinner that’s present; it’ll make every saint go onto his knees; that’ll make every sick person raise his faith to God, and walk away, healed; every sinner, saved; every backslider come back, and be ashamed of himself; and every saint, rejoice, and take new hold and new hope.
Then at 12:30 P.M., let us join together in our homes to hear: 63-0323 The Sixth Seal.
Then let us rejoin together in prayer immediately after the service, in commemoration of our Lord’s crucifixion.
SATURDAY
Let us once again all unite in prayer at 9:00 A.M. and 12:00 P.M., and prepare our hearts for the great things He will do for us in our midst.
I can hear Him say, “Satan, come here!” He is Boss now. Reaches over, grabs that key of death and hell off his side, hung it on His Own side. “I want to serve notice on you. You’ve been a bluff long enough. I am the virgin-born Son of the living God. My Blood is still wet on the cross, and the full debt is paid! You have no rights no more. You are stripped. Give Me those keys!”
Then at 12:30 P.M., we will all come together to hear the WORD: 63-0324m Questions And Answers On The Seals.
What a RED-LETTER DAY this is going to be for His Bride around the world.
Then let us rejoin together in prayer immediately after the service.
SUNDAY
Let us first rise early like Brother Branham did the morning when his little friend, the robin, woke him up at 5:00 A.M.. Let us just thank the Lord for raising Jesus from the dead:
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.”
At 9:00 A.M. and 12:00 P.M., let us join once again in our prayer chain, praying for each other and preparing ourselves to hear the Voice of God.
At 12:30 P.M., we will come together to hear our Easter Message: 63-0324e The Seventh Seal.
At 3:00 P.M., let us once again unite in prayer, thanking Him for the WONDERFUL WEEKEND HE HAS GIVEN US WITH HIM AND WITH HIS BRIDE AROUND THE WORLD.
To my brothers and sisters overseas, like last year, I would like to invite you to unite with us on Jeffersonville time, for all the prayer times on this schedule. I realize, however, that playing the Tapes on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday afternoon at Jeffersonville time would be very difficult for most of you, so please feel free to play those Messages at a time convenient for you. I would, however, like for us all to join together on Sunday at 12:30 P.M., Jeffersonville time, to hear our Sunday Message together.
I would also like to invite you and your children to be part of the Creations projects, journaling, and the YF quizzes, which your whole family can enjoy together. We think you will love them as they are all based upon the WORD we will be hearing this weekend.
For the weekend schedule, information on preparing for the Communion service, material that will be needed for the Creations projects, Easter Quizzes, and other information, see the links below.
Let’s shut down our phones for Easter weekend except to take photos, to hear Quote Of The Day, and to play the tapes from the Table app, the Lifeline app, or the downloadable link.
It is such an honor for me to invite you and your family to come together with the Bride around the world for a weekend full of WORSHIP, PRAISE AND HEALING. I believe it truly is a weekend that will change your life forever.
