Easter 2023 - Special Communion Service

Dear Restored Bride Tree,

All year long, I look forward to the weekend when I can shut the world completely out, turn off all of my devices, pray throughout the day, hear His Voice speak to my heart, have Communion with Him, and completely rededicate my life to His Service. EVERY DAY should be an Easter day for us, but this weekend is a very special, sacred occasion; a set-aside time for the Bride to come together and Worship. I am SO EXCITED about it my friends. I can hardly wait to get shut in with God in a secret place, there in the Spirit, beholding His Face; joined with the Bride of Christ around the world, setting in Heavenly places. Praise the Name of the Lord! It should truly be the most anticipated and sacred weekend of our lives.

Oh, let’s stop just one more minute here. “In Heavenly places.” Now, just not out anywhere, but in Heavenly places. We are assembled in “Heavenly,” it means that the position of the believer. That, if I’m prayed up, you’re prayed up, or the church is prayed up, and we’re ready for the Message, and we have assembled ourselves together as saints, called out, baptized with the Holy Ghost, filled with God’s blessings, called, elected, set together in Heavenly places now, we are Heavenlies in our souls. Our spirits has brought us into a Heavenly atmosphere. Oh, brother! There you are, a Heavenly atmosphere! Oh, what could happen tonight, what could happen tonight if we would be sitting here in a Heavenly atmosphere, and the Holy Spirit moving over every heart that’s been regenerated and become a new creature in Christ Jesus? All sins under the Blood, in perfect worship, with our hands up to God and our hearts lifted, setting in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus, worshipping together in the Heavenly places.

Did you ever set in one? Oh, I have set till I would weep for joy and say, “God, never let me leave here.” Just Heavenly places in Christ Jesus!

Blessing us with what? Divine healing, foreknowledge, revelation, visions, powers, tongues, interpretations, wisdom, knowledge, all the Heavenly blessings, and joy unspeakable and full of Glory, every heart filled with the Spirit, walking together, setting together in Heavenly places, not one evil thought among us, not one cigarette smoked, not one short dress, not one this, that or the other, not one evil thought, nobody got anything against one another, everybody speaking in love and harmony, everybody with one accord in one place, “then suddenly there come from Heaven a sound like a rushing mighty wind.” There you are, “Has blessed us with all spiritual blessings.”

Lord Jesus receive our worship to You this Easter weekend. Let us enter into Heavenly places in Christ Jesus; let us break forth into the Holy of Holies. Not one evil thought, not one distraction, but in one accord, in one Place; then let there be a sound from Heaven come like a rushing mighty wind into each of our homes. “Come Lord Jesus”, we are ready to see You face to face.

For the Bride has been restored through the evening Light Message of our day; through the Message of Malachi 4. We thank You Lord for the full manifestation of Christ in His Church, not a church built with hands, but the full manifestation of Christ demonstrated in a person, Your prophet, by great signs and wonders, and he has revealed the whole Word of God again. And now It is living in Your Bride around the world. Thank you for letting us live to see this great evening Light, according to prophecy.

And what’s the evening Light come out for? What is the evening Light for? To restore. Whew! You get it? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] The evening Light is for the same purpose the morning Light was for, to restore what was cut down by the Dark Ages, through Rome. God is going to restore, by shining forth the evening Light (what?), restore the whole Word of God again, the full manifestation of Christ in His Church. Everything that He did, just exactly the way He did, it would be again in the evening Light. See what I mean? Oh, isn’t that wonderful? [“Amen.”] And to know we’re living right here to see It now, the evening Light, exactly according to prophecy.

The true Bride does not stop at Justification, although She knows Her sins are as if She had never done them; She does not stop at Sanctification, although She has been cleansed and set aside for service; She does not stop at Pentecost, although She has received the baptism of the Holy Spirit; but She goes on to the WORD FOR OUR DAY: Malachi 4, the Word Itself made flesh again in a human being. The, “I will restore saith the Lord,” that will bring forth Rapturing Faith to the Bride. And that manifested Word can ONLY come by hearing the Tapes, praise His wonderful Name.

One of them, Martin Luther, he begin to shine a Light. There was a little Light, just a very small strength, of justification.

Along come Wesley, stronger, sanctification.

After Wesley, come the stronger than him, Pentecostal, the baptism of the Holy Ghost, in another great prophet. See?

But in the last days, of Malachi 4, Elijah is to come with the very Word. “The Word of the Lord came to the prophet.” In the evening Lights, is to come forth, to restore and bring back. What? “Turn the hearts of the children back to the Faith of God.” Fourth Light!

Come gather around the Word, in your homes, during Easter weekend and let us Worship the Lord. Shut down your phones 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.

I would like for us all to unite for the following schedule:

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.

God, examine our hearts now. Is the Blood there, Lord? If it’s not, we pray that—that You’ll apply it just now, taking away our sins and covering them, and they’ll be divorced from us, Lord, the sins of this world, that we might be holy and presentable to our Father now as we come to take the—the body and the shed Blood of our Lamb, God’s Son, our Saviour.

Let us all start at 6:00 P.M. on your local time zone to hear The Communion 57-0418 and then go into our Special Communion and Feet Washing Service, which will be playing on the Lifeline app, 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, over 2000 years ago, and see our Savior hanging on the cross, and then commit ourselves likewise to always do that which pleases the Father:

Now we find that it reflected Him perfectly. The Sculptor now had the Word reflected in the Masterpiece again, called His Son, God, Emmanuel. Just think, that a Person so yielded until God identified Himself in there, in that body, and He became, Him and God became One. “I and My Father are One. My Father dwelleth in Me. I do that always which pleases the Father.”

What if the Christian today could have a testimony like that? You would be a masterpiece right here in Yuma, on the street. If you’re a wash-woman out there behind the wash tub, you still be a masterpiece to God, when you can say, “I do that always which pleases God,” and the whole world can see the—the work of Jesus Christ reflecting in you.

Then at 12:30 P.M., let us join together in our homes to hear, The Perfection 57-0419.

Then let us rejoin together in prayer at 3:00 P.M. 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.

Lord! Please, Lord! Oh, I might sing too much. I might preach too much. I might shout too much. I might cry too much. But I’ll never pray too much. O God, search me and try me.

Was just speaking, a while ago, about the deep pools, how they reflect the stars; put a depth of Thy Spirit in us, Lord, as David the prophet said, “Lead me beside the still waters,” not the riffling waters. The still waters, lead me there, Lord. Get me quiet.

Then at 12:30 P.M., we will all come together to hear the WORD: The Entombment 57-0420.

What a RED LETTER DAY this is going to be for His Bride around the world.

Then let us rejoin together in prayer at 3:00 P.M..

SUNDAY

What a perfect Day to hear and partake of the Restoration Of The Bride Tree. 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. 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: The Restoration Of The Bride Tree 62-0422.

After this service, 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 for these events on Jeffersonville time, for all the prayer times on this schedule and for the tape played on Sunday afternoon. 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 whatever time of day is 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.

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.

Brother Joseph Branham
