Brothers & Sisters,
What a wonderful time we had Sunday. There are no words to express how happy the Bride feels today to think that Father loves us so much that He had His prophet tell us all about our Future Home with our Heavenly Bride Groom. We are truly sitting together in heavenly places.
I have been in prayer asking Father about tonight, “Is there a Message you want us to listen to, together, at home, or continue in our home prayer meeting?”
While in prayer I felt Him place this quote in my heart. I remember hearing it a few weeks ago, but as soon as I read it I knew it was Him.
Now the Word plainly states, if you want to put this down, in Galatians 5:6, that, “Faith worketh by love.” See? “Faith worketh by love.” And the only way that you can have faith, is have love first. Because, after all, faith is love's incentive. Incentive, that's exactly what—what faith is. It's an incentive to love. Now, you, if you don't have love, you can't have faith. See?
How can you have faith in your wife if you don't love her? That's in phileo. Now how about in agapao, to God? How can it be if you don't love God?
If you said you loved your wife, and never tell her about it, and never set down and make love to her, expressed it to her, kiss her, hug her, and tell her she's the best cook in the country, all the things that you know, and how pretty she is, and how much you love her; if you don't do that, she'll never know it. That's the way. If you do love her, you express it.
That's the way we do to God. When we love Him, we tell Him about it. We set down and we adore Him, and worship Him. And, see, love drives us to that.63-0901E DESPERATIONS
We do Father, with all that is in our hearts.
In our prayer meeting tonight, let us not tell Him all our troubles, our needs, our problems, let us all join in together and TELL HIM HOW MUCH WE LOVE AND ADORE HIM.
I can’t wait to place my voice with yours tonight in telling Him, We Love You, We Adore You, our Heavenly Bride Groom.
Bro. Joseph
I would also like to add a little something special for you. Two years ago, during the playing of the Jubilee Series, our YF Choir sang a song entitled Future Home.
I pray it is as great a blessing to you as it is to me.
Good afternoon friends.
Now look in the mirror of God's Word, in the other ages, and see which group of these three that you would be identified in.
Now just think, if you'd have lived in the days of Noah, if you'd have lived in the days of Moses, if you'd have lived in the days of Jesus, or one of them, whatever it is, just think what group you would be identified with. (63-1124E)
Praise the Lord, we can look in the mirror of God’s Word and KNOW, I AM A BELIEVER, I am ONE OF THEM.
What another wonderful service the Lord gave us Sunday! To know we are in His perfect Will by being a part of the tape ministry, feasting on Stored up Sheep Food.
I was so encouraged Sunday to see your hands go up when I asked if you were enjoying your Wednesday night prayer meetings, and if you felt it was bringing you closer to Him. I truly believe this is His Will for us at this time, and it is preparing His Bride to make Herself ready.
I would like for us to read the Scripture once again that Brother Branham read for the Message, “Desperations.” What a confirmation in what He Has been leading us to do.
Brother Branham quoting Jeremiah 29:10-14
For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to turn to this place.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you…(Isn't that sweet?)…saith the Lord, though thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you the accepted end.
Then shall you call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all…nations, and from all the places where I have drove you, saith the Lord; and…will bring you again unto—unto the place which I caused you to be carried away captive. Back to Pentecost!
That is what we are going to do tonight at our home prayer meetings, Father, searching for You with all of our hearts. And we believe, “And I will be found of you, saith the Lord…” Thank you Father.
Looking forward to being with you at His Throne tonight.
Bro. Joseph
Thank the Lord for another opportunity when we can all come together to hear the Message of the hour, and make ourselves ready for His soon coming.
I have felt led to begin our service on Sundays at 2:00 P.M., like we did for the Seven Seals. I have spoken to the deacons about this and explained that there are several reasons I have felt to start service at this time. I have heard from several families about how they liked that schedule, as it gives them all morning to prepare for service. The ones with families are not so rushed in the mornings, and it still gives everyone the evenings to study the Message we heard. There are also many families that have to travel several miles in order to be in service with us.
As you know there are many churches and individuals from around the world that stream our services to be united with us. Many have expressed how they wake up in the very early morning so they can stream the services live. They know they can hear the service the next day by downloading it, but feel to be a part of the live streaming, which we are so thankful for them to be a part. By starting at this time, it will be a great blessing to them, as well as our African and European brothers and sisters as they too have expressed to me that this is a real good time for them also.
We will try this time for the next few services to see if this is the mind of the Lord and how it works for everyone. Please let me know your feelings by email: vogr@branham.org, or speaking to the deacons and letting them know your feelings and thoughts.
Bro. Joseph
Brothers and Sisters,
We have another great opportunity tonight to all come together from around the world to meet at His Throne in prayer.
I pray your prayer life is getting greater and greater as He is showing us that our personal time with Him will give us that closer walk with Him that we all desire.

Brothers & Sisters,
I am so happy to hear all the wonderful testimonies coming from having our Wednesday night Home Prayer Meetings. Truly the Lord is moving and we are gaining a deeper prayer life than we’ve ever had before. It is another step in fulfilling the scripture, Revelation 19:7
If the Lord is willing, let us try to come together from around the world at 10:00 A.M., Jeffersonville time, to hear that Stored Up Food that has been provided for us. I would like for all of us to hear the Message: How Can I Overcome 63-0825M.
What a wonderful time we will have, gathered together around the Throne of God to hear the Message of the hour at our home tape meetings.
Let us remember, Sunday is a day we give to the Lord. We have six other days to do the many things that we want, or need to do, but this day is dedicated for Him.
Let us get desperate before Him, pray for one another, love one another, and seek to be more like Him.
Bro. Joseph
