Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I have never been more excited about Easter weekend than I am RIGHT NOW. The world is in chaos, a virus has plagued every nation, fear is painted on faces everywhere we look, but the Bride is looking upward today, saying, “Thank you Father, for you have prepared us for this hour, and we have no fear for our redemption is drawing nigh.”
Praise be the Name of the Lord! He has given us vindication after vindication that we are in His Perfect Will, and that He is Coming for us SOON. He has trained us for this hour, friends, through our Home Tape services, Home Prayer Meetings, and Home Easter Meetings as well.
For the past several years, we have announced an Easter Weekend Schedule to be done in our HOME CHURCHES, which unites the Bride as never before, and includes prayer times, tape services, and meditations on the Lord. It has become a weekend of what Easter should be all about, a weekend of CONSECRATION and HOLINESS unto the Lord; a weekend of shutting the entire world out of our lives, and inviting Christ to come into our homes, and into our hearts, worshiping Him all weekend, PRAISE THE LORD.
I believe this Easter will be the most special Easter we have ever had. The enemy thinks he has the upper hand by confining us to our homes and cutting off our fellowship, but God has already provided another way for us to come together from around the world to His Throne.
As in past years, I would like to encourage each household to join in on a true Communion with the Lord this Easter, devoting the whole weekend to worshiping Him. Let us shut out the world by turning off our phones and not be distracted with texts, social media, news, or the many things that keep our minds occupied, but just speak to Him, and He will speak back to us. I promise you, it will change your life, you will never be closer to Him.
I would like us to all unite this weekend on Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) for the following schedule.
FRIDAY
Let us begin our Easter weekend at 9:00 A.M. then again at 12:00 P.M. by uniting in prayer and inviting the Lord to be with each of us on this very special weekend, and to fill our homes with His Holy Spirit as we dedicate ourselves to worshiping Him.
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"
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 with and for one another… what can and will take place?
Then let us rejoin together in prayer at 3:00 P.M. 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.
Then at 7:00 P.M. gather around His Throne once again to hear the Message: 57-0419 The Perfection
SATURDAY
Saturday: 9:00 A.M., 12:00 P.M., and 3:00 P.M., let us once again all unite in prayer
Then Saturday evening at 7:00 P.M. we will all come together once again to hear the WORD: 57-0420 The Entombment. What a wonderful day this is going to be.
SUNDAY
On that great and wonderful resurrection morning, let us rise like Brother Branham did at 5:00 A.M. and 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.”
Hallelujah, He HAS risen and there is an empty tomb, and we will be risen with Him some glorious day.
At 9:00 A.M. let us sincerely join once again in our prayer chain, praying for each other and preparing ourselves to hear The Voice Of God.
At 9:30 A.M. we will come together to hear our Easter Message: 65-0418m It Is The Rising Of The Sun
At 12:00 P.M. we will once again unite in prayer, thanking Him for the WONDERFUL WEEKEND HE HAS GIVEN US WITH HIM AND WITH HIS BRIDE.
To my brothers and sister overseas, I know this schedule will be very difficult for you due to the time difference. I’d like to encourage you to do your prayer times according to your local time, at 9:00 A.M., 12:00 P.M., and 3:00 P.M. To unite with your own country in prayer, but please also set your alarms so you may join in at Jeffersonville, Indiana, times for prayer as well. The whole world will storm Heaven TOGETHER with prayer at these times, just as Brother Branham instructed us to do.
I also realize that playing the Friday and Saturday Messages at Jeffersonville time would be very difficult for you, as it would be very early in the morning for many of you, so please feel free to play the tapes at your local times. I would, however, like for us all to join together on Sunday at 9:30 A.M., Jeffersonville time, to hear our Sunday Message together.
Click here for the Schedule in PDF format so you may print it out.
I would also like to invite you and your children to be part of another very special activity this Easter. Many have asked if we can post the Creations Easter tutorials and quizzes for the whole family to enjoy together. We think you will love them as they are all based upon the WORD we will be hearing this weekend.
Click here to see the material you will need for the Creations projects. The projects themselves can be viewed here.
Click here for the Easter Weekend tape quizzes.
It is such an honor for me to invite you and your family to come together for a weekend of WORSHIP, PRAISE, and INSTRUCTIONS in the Word. Thank the Lord for the Hidden Manna He has provided for His Bride. Praise His wonderful Name.
May God richly bless you,
Bro. Joseph

Dear Royal Seed Of Abraham,
Aren't you thankful today that by His Grace and Mercy, you can say, I'M ONE OF THEM?
What a special time The Lord has been giving us, as we speak to Him, worship Him, and gather around His Throne to feast upon that Hidden Manna which the world knows nothing about, as it is ONLY stored up and revealed to us, His Bride.
Every day the True Revelation of This Message gets greater and greater. We have always believed every Word of it, and knew that Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing The Word, and that This Message IS God's Word for the hour. He promised He would return and live in flesh once again to reveal even more of His Word to His predestinated Bride.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
The Holy Spirit is The Guide for today and He is leading us into all Truths. He told us the Holy Spirit is the prophet for our day. God never changes His program, for He has always chosen man to bring His Word and told us in His Word "I will do NOTHING unless I reveal My secrets to My servants the prophets." So the Messages we are hearing are not the Words of a man named William Marrion Branham, but they are the VERY WORDS OF GOD spoken through His prophet to His Bride.
Many say, you place too much upon the man…He was just a man, the prophet. If you believe every Word, then you must believe this:
The prophet, the Word, the Message; messenger, Message, and Message, was the same.
65-0718E - Spiritual Food In Due Season
That is why the enemy tries to make the people to disbelieve that Every Word is not the Word of God, but only certain parts are the inspired part of The Message.
And when the real, living Seed of Abraham come up, that same Spirit was in Jesus Christ will live among them, every Word will be punctuated with a "amen". They believe It. Not, "This is inspired, and That's not inspired." They believe the whole Thing, 'cause It's the Word of God.
Then The Bride must be careful to believe EVERY WORD. The prophet was so careful to instruct us;
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.
Glory, we do believe every Word and are resting upon it. For This Message is the Token for our day and it has been applied to our homes and we will not, and cannot be deceived because,
The reason the Elected, Jesus said, won't be deceived, because they are that Word. They can't be nothing else. They can't hear nothing else. They don't know nothing else. That's right.
65-0725m - "The Anointed Ones At The End Time"
We have now recognized our day, we have recognized The Message, we have recognized His messenger, but NOW we recognize WHO WE ARE….THE WORD, and we can't be nothing else, we can't hear nothing else, we don't know nothing else.
So let me once again invite you to unite with us Sunday morning at 9:00 A.M. Jeffersonville, Indiana time, around the only vindicated Word for our day as we hear:
65-0725M The Anointed Ones At The End Time
May the Lord bless you.

Dear Bride,
What an opportunity the Lord has provided for His Bride. A time to unite us to hear His Word together, to storm heaven with our prayers and make ourselves ready like never before, for His soon coming.
In this Satan’s Eden we live in, there seems to be no time to do the things we really want to do: Hearing more of His Stored Up Food, speaking to Him in prayer, reading our Bibles, and just getting our minds clear of the things that fills our thoughts daily, so we can meditate upon Him and worship Him. But now Father has made a provided way. He has brought us together in our homes, and with our families, and is now revealing to us like never before how important it is to have that Token applied, and to make ourselves ready for His glorious Rapture that is soon coming.
No matter whether you’re in a cathedral, that don’t have nothing to do with it; if you got a mission or a prayer meeting in your house. God looks to the honest heart. Amen. That may be old fashion sassafras, but it’ll sure stick with your ribs. It’s good with you, certainly will. Yes, sir. God looketh on the heart, not the outward appearance.
55-0221 - Christ
Let us come together tonight and have an old fashion home prayer meeting, calling upon Him and praising Him for how He has made a provided way for us. He is assuring us we are His Predestinated Royal Seed, keeping us from all this fear and turmoil the world is in by placing joy in our hearts, giving us a revival by knowing we are in His Perfect Will, and He has provided us with anything, and everything, we have need of. He has brought His Elijah for this day into our homes, and has promised us for our day, The barrel of Meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of Oil fail.
How thankful we are for all He is doing for us daily, as we are resting upon every Word.
Looking forward to joining my prayer with yours as we approach His Throne, placing our Token before us, knowing He will be there with us.
Bro. Joseph
Due to the latest update from the president which has extended the period of no large gatherings, we will not be having silent prayer at the Tabernacle until further notice. But let’s not let this stop us from uniting in prayer. Wherever we are, let us come together at 12:00 today and speak to Father and thank Him for His mercy and Grace, and for giving us a secret hiding place in His Word.

Dear Royal Seed Of Abraham,
What a special time the Lord gave us last Sunday as the Bride was gathered from around the world at His Throne, hearing Papa God speak to us and encourage us through His messenger by telling us, you are My BRIDE, and you are doing exactly what I told you to do: staying with My Provided Way for this day, This Message, and applying The Token, which is This Message, to your homes.
There is nothing that can unite the Bride but That Voice, This Message, God Himself speaking directly to His predestinated seed. He is giving us Oneness with Him, and with each other, as we all are One in Him.
We are seeing Scripture being fulfilled before our very eyes. God’s prophet told us these days were coming, what to expect, and what we must do to prepare ourselves. We have been in training for these very days. The Bride has been making Herself ready.
We have been forced into our homes so we can hear That Voice and take comfort as He tells us with each Message we hear, “Have no fear children, I am with you, you are my Chosen Ones, I have provided you a secret place and everything you will need, just like I did for my servant Elijah.”
Elijah had a secret place provided by God Himself. Now, the church never provided it for him, the king never provided it for him, he didn’t provide hisself, but God provided a secret place for Elijah to be fed all the time during the drought, where his food was provided day by day. He didn’t need to wonder what’s going to happen tomorrow or wonder if the supply run out.
God made a way for Elijah to escape it. And He has made a way for His believing children to escape it now, the wrath and things that is to come.
65-0718e - "Spiritual Food In Due Season"
Thank You Father, neither do we have to wonder what’s going to happen tomorrow, or if the Food will run out. You have provided a way of escape for our day.
We see that the pope and the Evangelical ministers are calling for prayer, and fasting saying, “Lord we repent, forgive us of our sins, have mercy on us, restore us.”
It’s a million miles from being a Christian country. I don’t even pray for it. How can I pray for it, and it won’t repent under the mighty powers of God demonstrated before it; and denying, and closing the doors to It, and walking away? I commit it to God. And she is going further away. And now she is going to sink. Just watch what happens.
65-0718M - "Trying To Do God A Service Without Being The Will Of God"
We are seeing these words being fulfilled.
When they come for the Oil and say “give us of your Oil,” it will be too late... go get your own, we just have enough for ourselves. And what is it going to tell us tomorrow?
We’re entering into the judgment. Mercy has been spurned. 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.
65-0718e - "Spiritual Food In Due Season"
He has given us the True Revelation of our day, These Tapes that have been stored up for us. He sent His prophet to call out His Bride. And who is our prophet for our day?
The Message, and the Word, was exactly the same thing. The prophet, the Word, the Message; messenger, Message, and Message, was the same.
65-0718e - "Spiritual Food In Due Season"
Then He will encourage us even more. Because WE ARE His Bride. He said there is nothing impossible with us, for ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE if we’ll just believe, and WE BELIEVE… EVERY WORD.
He will then remind us of the authority and power that belongs to US, His Bride. He will tell us whatever we have need of, ask, for That Word lives in each of us.
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.
65-0718e - "Spiritual Food In Due Season"
So what do we have to fear? NOTHING, for God has A Provided Way, A Provided Hiding Place, A Provided Food, and that Provided Food Word lives in each of us. We can Speak The Word for whatever we have need of.
Let us begin our day by gathering around His Throne at 9:00 A.M. to worship Him and tell Him how we love Him and thank Him for providing us everything we need to be His Bride. Then let us unite once again around His Throne at 10:00 a.m. Jeffersonville, IN time to hear: 65-0718E Spiritual Food In Due Season.
God richly bless each of you.
Bro. Joseph
