Brothers and Sisters,

Brother Branham said, “That's the men behind the curtain. The man who prays for strength for a message, that they lay down everything. Maybe they haven't got the gifts to do those things, but they're putting every effort they can to support it. And the only way they can do it they know, is prayer before God and fasting. There's where power lays: let someone pray for you.” 60-0609 Be Not Afraid

My friends, my desire, as I know it is yours too, is to be more sincere and in prayer. The Lord has been pressing upon my heart to be more desperate before Him, fasting, praying, and communing with Him constantly each day.

In this day we should be constantly calling His Name in prayer, asking Him to forgive us of our short comings, and asking Him to lead us according to His perfect Will. For we are on the threshold of His Coming.

I would like to invite you to give this Sunday to Him. I have chosen the Message, 60-0515M “The Rejected King” for us to listen to in our Home Churches. As you know, this Message was preached just days after Brother Branham went beyond the curtain of time and saw US there, PRAISE THE LORD! What hope and faith it gives us to know that the prophet brought back the evidence that there is truly a Land just beyond the veil that “perfection” and “sublime” could never touch. It is beyond anything we could ever even imagine friends, and we are right at the door of it now.

When we leave this earth we don’t change our spirit, just our dwelling place, and we are RESTING on the Message of the hour here, and we’ll be RESTING on it There, blessed be His wonderful Name.

I want to compel you to call upon His Name in prayer, surrender all that you are to Him, approach Him with all reverence and sincerity, give Him your very best, and we will see Him move on the scene in a special way this Sunday, I promise.

I am looking forward to uniting together with you at His Throne in our homes this Sunday.

May God bless you,

Brother Joseph

“Hear Ye Him”

60-0313

But here’s what would take place, He would be the Vine and the Church would be the branches. How many knows that? How many knows that the—it ain’t the vine that bears fruit; it’s the branch. The fruit comes out on the branch. Then if ye are the branches, that is the Church, the members of the Church, the body. All right? Then if the branch—the—is in the vine, the branch will bear fruit of the vine. Is that right? Then that’s the Life of Christ in the Church bearing the same fruits that He did.

Brothers and Sisters,

Once again, what a perfect Message the Lord gave us on Sunday. Truly, we have witnessed Scripture being fulfilled in our ears once again as we heard the Message of His prophet. What a time of consecration and rededication unto Him, and truly we can all say, “Lord, all that I am, I give to You.” I know that each of you made that pledge during that precious time of worship. It was truly yet another red-letter day for His Bride.

I wanted to announce to the church that I will be away this weekend for few days to get a little rest before the Still Waters Camps start again. We will still have service this Sunday, if the Lord willing, as He has laid upon my heart a very timely Message for the church. I know it will bring forth a new revelation within your heart, and will lay a platform for the Messages in the upcoming weeks ahead. 

I would also like to take this opportunity to announce that for Memorial Day weekend, we will not be having service. However, there will be a tape chosen for that Sunday, which will be announced next week. Also, on Memorial Day, May 28^th, our Silent Prayer meeting at the Tabernacle will be cancelled as well.

We will be posting the full calendar for our Summer Schedule sometime soon so you can make plans for your vacation schedule. Like last year, we will not be having services the Sunday after the Still Waters camps, but will have those services in our “Home Tape Churches”. How wonderful it is to be a part of a group of believers that can unite together in Spirit, regardless of the physical distance between us! Praise His wonderful Name.

My love and prayers are with each one of you, as we continue to unite together under this Word and prepare ourselves for His soon Coming.

Please remember me in your prayers as I do each of you.

Brother Joseph

“The God Who Is Rich In Mercy”

65-0119

If I am wrong, which I—I don’t believe I am; but if I was wrong, and I knowed right now that I was going to live to be a hundred years old, and He was going to condemn me at the end of the road, and tell me, ‘You don’t deserve to come into My Heaven, William Branham. Get out into outer darkness.’ You know what? I would serve Him every day of my life until I went, anyhow. For I have received so much of His unmerited blessings, that He is more than life to me.
