Dear Branham Tabernacle,
Greetings to the Bride of Jesus Christ from around the world, who believe the Branham Tabernacle, the Voice of God, is their home church where they are being spiritually fed by the hidden Manna that has been stored up and preserved for the Bride of Christ.
This is my home base; this is my headquarters; here’s where we’re set up at. Now, hold that in mind no matter what takes place. Now, if you’re wise, you’ll catch something. No matter what takes place, this is our headquarters, right here!
Many believers have always misunderstood or placed their own idea or interpretation to what the prophet said here, but he is telling the Bride straight, “if you’re wise, you’ll catch something, this is our headquarters, right here!”
What did he mean by that?
When Brother Branham was here, many misunderstood him and thought the Bride had to go to Arizona and follow him there, to be in the Rapture. Brother Branham answered them clearly: STAY HERE, THIS IS THE PLACE.
A whole big group of them took off that way, and they wanted to go this and do that, after I told them to stay there. Stay there, stay right here; this is the place.
People took off from everywhere around the United States to go to Arizona, but he clearly told them: Stay right here, this is the place!
Stay in Jeffersonville? That is what he said!
My Revelation is, it was God, speaking through His prophet and telling the people, “STAY WITH THE TAPES.” That is THE PLACE!
He was so upset and said he had to do something with all them people. What must he do? What church would he send them to? Where should they go? What did Brother Branham say he must do?
So now, I’ve got to bring them kids back here for something to eat. They’re down there in the desert starving.
He didn’t say they would need to go to a local church and get what little nuggets they could feed upon. He said he must bring them BACK HERE for something to eat, or they would STARVE TO DEATH.
MY REVELATION, FRIENDS.
Now, not to once again misunderstand him, or say something he didn’t say, by saying, “Brother Branham wanted every believer to move to Jeffersonville to be the Bride.” Brother Branham knew all them people, and EVERY believer from around the world, could not move and live in Jeffersonville. That would be impossible. So what did he mean? He was UNITING the Bride of Christ around the TAPES that had been recorded and stored up for the Bride to feed upon.
This Message, This Voice, is God’s Spoken Word for today and It will unite and perfect the Bride of Jesus Christ.
The carcase is what the eagles feed on. Now, a eagle is considered in the Bible, a prophet. A prophet is a eagle. God—God calls Himself a Eagle, and we’re “eaglets” then, the—the believers. You see? And what is the carcase that they feed on? Is the Word. Wherever the Word is, the true nature of the bird will show itself.
Where is the pure, vindicated, no misunderstandings, Thus Saith The Lord Word for today? There is only one place, The Tapes.
I could go on and on, quote by quote, but this Message and what Brother Branham said takes a Revelation from God. We must read between the lines by revelation, but say what he said. For It is the PURE WORD.
Questions and Answers for today and what I BELIEVE.
Today, many ministers are saying to the people that by having Home Tape Church we are out of the Word and what Brother Branham said to do. They feel we must go to what they call and consider a church.
There are truly many, many quotes where Brother Branham clearly says this.
Now, you go to some good Full Gospel church and get you a church home.
And I believe that with all my heart, because he said so. But I believe we are doing that by HAVING HOME TAPE CHURCH. Our location isn’t what is important to the Lord. That’s just a building. But our duty to the Lord is to stay with His Word, NOT A LOCATION OR A BUILDING. The location doesn’t save and perfect the Bride, THE WORD DOES.
If I go to a church building, but they have forgotten the MAIN THING: to hear the Voice of God by Pressing Play, and have replaced It by ONLY hearing the ministers preach the Message, will that completely satisfy and feed your soul? It might satisfy your soul, my brother and sister, but it will not satisfy the Bride.
Let me interject here and say there are thousands of people that have no church building to go to. Are they lost? If they don’t have a pastor or church, does that mean they can’t be the Bride? If you live within 100 miles of a church building, do you have to go to that church? But if I live further away, I don’t have to? I must stream a preacher, but I can’t stream the tapes? The physical building is what the prophet is saying is the most important thing we must go to?
Where did the prophet want to bring the Bride to?
If you can’t come here at the tabernacle, get some church somewhere; go to it.
Once again, where is his first choice to send the people? To the Branham Tabernacle, the Word, the tapes. That is what God has provided His Bride to do in this end-time, and we’re doing it every day AND every Sunday.
So I’m not misunderstood. I AM NOT SAYING you must stream the tapes with the Branham Tabernacle to be the Bride. I’m NOT SAYING you shouldn’t go to church. I’m NOT SAYING you can’t listen to ministers. If you believe that, you are off the Word. I’m saying hearing the Voice of God on the tapes is the most important Voice YOU MUST HEAR, and I believe that every pastor should play that Voice, the tapes, in their churches. But they have made every excuse there is TO NOT PLAY THE TAPES. If that is your church, you’re not feeding on the Word.
This is clearly what he did not want to happen and what the people were doing.
And you go to church; don’t set at home, go fishing, and hunting, and things like that on Sunday.
We’re not. We’re uniting around the only thing that will unite the Bride, This Message, This Voice.
Once again, I do believe in going to church. There are many churches around the world that are placing the tapes first in their pulpits, praise the Lord. Do I believe you have to stay at home or you’re not the Bride? NO, NO, NO....I’ve never thought it, never believed it. I just want you to PRESS PLAY no matter where you are or what church you go to.
If you don’t have a Revelation of what he is saying, then you could clearly say, “I don’t have to listen to Brother Branham or even have to AGREE with all he says. He even said so, there are so many other God-called men.”
Go ahead. We notice here, says, “Should we go to another church that disagrees with you?” Sure, I don’t...I’m not the only pebble on the beach, you know. There’s—there’s just other godly men everywhere; I hope I’m one of them.
The Voice of God on the tapes is MY PEBBLE, MY ROCK. It is the Voice I want to hear and the Voice I want the Branham Tabernacle to hear.
If you would like to join us, you are more than welcome, my brothers and sisters. Join us Sunday at 12:00 p.m., Jeffersonville time, as we hear the Voice of God speak and answer many questions you may have on your heart. And hear for yourself if the things I have said in this letter is off the Word and I have misunderstood what God is saying to His Bride.
What he says on the tapes is Thus Saith The Lord. Not what I say he is saying, or what I believe he is saying, and ONLY God can give you the true Revelation.

My Dearest Sweetheart,
I love you so much. You are flesh of My flesh, and bone of My bone. Even before I created the stars, the moon, My whole universe, I saw you and I loved you then. I knew you were part of Me, My one and only sweetheart. You and I were ONE.
The day I have longed and waited for since I saw you then has finally arrived. Now I am calling you and uniting you from the east and the west, north and south, by My Voice. You are My thoughts, My Word, My Bride, made manifest.
I‘ve longed to tell you everything that is in My heart, so I wrote It by My prophets and have kept It protected for you for thousands of years. Many have read It, and believed It throughout centuries, but I have kept many things secret until YOU ARRIVED. You are the only ONES I will tell.
They longed to know and hear all these wonderful things I have kept hidden, but as I promised you, I have waited and kept them secret until now, just for YOU, MY ONE AND ONLY.
I promised you I would come and reveal Myself once again in human flesh, so I could tell you, and reveal to you all these things. I wanted you to hear MY VOICE speak direct to you.
I’ve anointed many others with My Holy Spirit to tell you of My love, but as I have always done, and I can never change, I chose one man: My angel, My prophet, to be My Voice so I could speak Thus Saith The Lord to you.
I wanted to tell you, you weren’t saved on any certain day. You were always saved. I just come to redeem you back. You were saved from the beginning because you had Eternal Life to begin with. Thus, in My eyes, all your sins can’t even be seen by Me, the only thing I hear is your voice. I just see your representation.
How I have longed to tell you so many things. My heart is bubbling over with excitement. How I’ve longed for our Wedding Supper, our thousand-year Millennium together. To tell you in detail all about Our Future Home together; How I have prepared everything for you, with everything to your touch.
My sweetheart, if you think it’s wonderful now listening to my Voice speak to you, just wait, this is only a shadow of what it will be like when we live in that City together. Your prophet will even live next door to you; he will be your neighbor.
We’ll walk up those streets of gold and drink from the fountain together. We’ll walk into the paradises of God with Angels hovering the earth, singing the anthems….What a Day that will be!
I know the road seems rugged, and sometimes it gets so hard for you, but it will be so little, so little, when We are with each other.
For now, I‘m going to once again gather you and speak to you this Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, and tell you all about "The Future Home Of The Heavenly Bridegroom And The Earthly Bride". I can’t wait to be united with you then.
Remember, and never forget, I love you so much.
On His behalf,
Bro. Joseph Branham

Dear Artesian Well Drinkers,
What a Christmas and New Years we have had. We have accepted and unwrapped God’s gifts He has sent to His Bride. Our first Gift was the greatest Christmas Gift that was ever wrapped up. God Himself wrapped His Own Self in human flesh and sent that package to the world. It was His first great Gift to restore His Bride.
Then God sent another great package to His Bride. He loved us so much that He came and revealed Himself in flesh once again so He could speak to us lip to ear. He wanted Himself and His Bride to become One.
And now, friends, don’t get me wrong. May I say this with reverence in my heart, knowing that I’m an Eternity-bound person that’ll stand before Judgment someday: Thousands of people are missing their gift. See? They can’t understand it. And they look, and say, “Oh, he’s just a man.” that’s true. Was it God or Moses that delivered the people? It was God in Moses. See? They cried for the deliverer. And when God sent the deliverer to them, they failed to see it, because it was by a man, but it wasn’t the man, it was God in the man.
Today, once again, thousands of people are missing their gift and saying, “you don’t have to listen to the tapes, there are now other anointed men,” which is true, but they fail to recognize it is the ONLY Voice vindicated by God, speaking Thus Saith The Lord through that man. That Voice is God’s Urim and Thummim, His Absolute for today.
When we are listening to His Voice on the tapes we are truly drinking from God’s Artesian Well, which needs no pumping, no pulling, no joining, no bailing; we’re just believing and resting on every Word that is Spoken.
By listening to that Voice on the tapes, according to Jesus Himself, we have the true evidence of the Holy Spirit in our day.
So there is the genuine evidence of the Holy Ghost! He has never told me anything wrong yet. That, “It is the evidence of the Holy Ghost, is he who can believe the Word.” You can receive It.
God has provided us a Fountain we can drink from every minute of every day. It’s always fresh. Not some stagnated something, It is His inexhaustible, self-supporting Fountain; you just have to Press Play.
Talking about a GIFT from God, can you imagine how GREAT this Gift truly is? By simply Pressing Play and listening to His Voice on the tapes, it is the only...THE ONLY VOICE in the world you don’t need a filter, strainer, or anything. You just have to listen, believe, and say amen to every Word.
God Himself has provided this way, HIS ONLY WAY, to receive eternal life, and even more important, TO BE HIS BRIDE. We can just lay upon His bosom and nurse our strength from listening to His Fountain, His Voice, El Shaddai speaking to His Bride.
May this year be the year He comes for us, His beloved Bride. We’re watching and waiting with great anticipation. Any day now we’ll look at the ones we have longed to see appear. We’ll realize, in a moment of a twinkling of an eye, we’ll be out of here, called to our Wedding Supper.
Lord, as we see that great table stretched out there for that supper, thousands of miles long, looking across the table to each other, battle-scarred veterans, tears of joy running down our cheeks…The King come out in His beauty, holiness, walk down along the table and take His Own hands and wipe the tears from our eyes, saying, “Don’t cry no more, it’s all over. Enter into the joys of the Lord.” The toils of the road will seem nothing then, Father, when we get to the end of the way.
Come and drink, and drink, and drink from God ‘s provided Fountain for today with us this Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time. It’s the ONLY place you can totally relax and say AMEN to every Word you hear. It is His provided Artesian Well for His Bride to drink from.

Dear Hewed-Out Bride,
Today, the church has forgot their prophet. They don’t need him anymore to preach in their churches. They claim they have their pastors to preach to them and quote and interpret the Word. Preaching is more important than listening to the Voice of God on the tapes in their churches.
But God knew He had to have His prophet; that’s how He has always called out and led His Bride. He chopped us out from the rest of the nations by His two-edged Sword, His Holy Spirit, His Voice spoken by His prophet.
He has hewed us by that Voice. That’s why He had It recorded and placed on tape. By Revelation we see how perfect the Scripture is! The Bride cannot ripen unless the Son ripens it.
No matter how much you preach, whatever you do, it cannot be ripened, it cannot be manifested, it cannot be vindicated; only by Him Who said, “I am the Light of the world,” the Word.
The Word told us the Holy Spirit Himself will come forth and ripen us, to vindicate, prove and to make Himself manifested. The evening Light has come. God manifesting Himself in flesh to call out His Bride.
He is the One that has called YOU out by His Holy Spirit, His Word, His Voice. He is the One that chose YOU. He is the One that teaches YOU. He is the One that is leading YOU. By what? His Holy Spirit, His Voice speaking DIRECTLY TO YOU.
But It’s too old-fashion to them in this day. They are past playing tapes in their churches. They don’t recognize It. That’s the reason they’re in the condition they are. But to you, It has been revealed to be God’s provided way, IT IS THUS SAITH THE LORD TO YOU.
So there has to come forth a—a—a Power, the Holy Spirit Himself, to ripen, or to vindicate, or to prove, or to make manifested that what He’s predicted would happen in this day. The evening Light produces that. What a time!
We are God’s perfect Word Bride His prophet saw in the vision. We are the ones He sent His prophet to call out by His Word, and are now having a REVIVAL, for we now know who we are.
Revive, there, is the same word used anywhere else, I just looked it up, means, “a revival.” “He will revive us after two days.” That would be, “In the third day He will revive us again, after He scattered us, and blinded us, and tore us.”
Father sent His prophet to watch over His Bride so that we didn’t get out of step. Remember, this was a vision!
The Bride passed in the same position that She was when She was at the beginning. But I was watching Her getting out of step, and trying to pull Her back.
But how could “he” pull her back today? “He”, the man, is not here on earth. BY THE WORD! What is the ONLY vindicated Word for today? The Voice of God on the tapes.
Ministers are called to preach the Word by quoting exactly what the prophet spoke. According to the prophet himself, they are to say nothing more.
Truly, they are called to teach and preach that Word. But there is ONLY ONE VOICE THAT IS VINDICATED BY GOD HIMSELF TO BE THUS SAITH THE LORD.
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!
If you say “amen” to every word your pastor or minister says, you’re lost. But if you say “AMEN” TO EVERY WORD GOD SPOKE THROUGH HIS PROPHET ON THE TAPES, YOU’RE THE BRIDE AND WILL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
God’s prophet was the man God chose to speak through. It was by GOD’S CHOOSING to use him to speak His Word and place It on the tapes so the Bride would ALWAYS HAVE THUS SAITH THE LORD TO HEAR.
He doesn’t want His Bride to depend on what other men say, or their interpretation of His Word. He wants His Bride to hear from His lips to their ears. He doesn’t want His Bride to depend on anyone else but Himself.
When we rise in the morning, we love Him to tell us, “Good morning friends. I’m going to speak to you today and tell you how much I love you and how you and I are ONE. I have many who I will give eternal life to, but only YOU are my hand-picked Bride. Only YOU have I given the Revelation to before the foundation of the world.
Many others love to hear me, but I have chosen you to be My Bride. For you have recognized Me and have stayed with My Word. You have not compromised, you have not flirted around, but have stayed true with My Word.
Time is at hand. I am coming for you very soon. First, you will see the ones that are with me now. Oh, how they long to see you and be with you. Don’t worry little ones, everything is perfectly on time, just keep pressing.”
As a minister of the Gospel, I can’t see one thing left but the going of the Bride.
