Dear Tape People,
How proud we are to be called “Tape People”. Our hearts race with excitement each week knowing we will be united together around the world by hearing the Voice of God speak to us.
We know, without a shadow of a single doubt, we are in God’s perfect Will by staying with His Word; listening to His Voice by way of His mighty seventh angel messenger.
The messenger He chose for our day is William Marrion Branham. He is God’s lamp to the world, reflecting God’s Light. He is calling out His chosen Pure Word Bride by His angel.
By careful study of His Word, He has revealed to us by His Holy Spirit that William Marrion Branham is the angel He chose to give His Revelation and Ministry to for our day. We see His angel, OUR STAR, in His right hand as He is granting him His power to reveal His Word and call out His Bride.
He has given us the full Revelation of Himself. The Holy Spirit identifying Himself to us through the life of His seventh angel messenger; the angel He chose to be His eyes for our day.
How our hearts burn within us as He tells us with each Message that it is His purpose to bring us forth unto Himself; that we are His Word Bride.
He loves to tell us over and over how He chose us before the foundation of the world IN HIM. How we were foreknown and beloved by Him.
How we love to hear Him speak and tell us we were redeemed by His Blood and can NEVER come into condemnation. We can never be in the judgment, because sin cannot be imputed unto us.
How we will set with Him as He takes His earthly throne of David, and we rule with Him; just like He did in heaven, with power and authority over all the earth. The test and trials of this life will seem like nothing then.
But He has also warned us how careful we must be. That throughout the ages the two vines grew side by side. How the enemy has always been so close; so deceiving. Even Judas was chosen of God, and instructed in truth. He shared knowledge of the mysteries. He had a ministry of power granted unto him and he healed the sick and cast out devils in Jesus’ Name. But he couldn’t go all the way.
You can’t go along with just part of the Word, you have to take ALL the Word. There are people who seem involved in the things of God almost one hundred percent, but they are not.
He said it wasn’t enough that He has associated Himself with the whole church, or even with the fivefold ministry of Ephesians four. He warned us that in each age the church goes astray, and it is not just the laity but the clergy group — shepherds are wrong as well as sheep.
So by the determined counsel of His own will, He brought Himself on the scene in our age as the Chief Shepherd in the ministry of His seventh angel messenger to lead His people back to the truth and the abundant power of that truth.
He is in His messenger and he who would have the fulness of God would follow the messenger as the messenger is a follower of the Lord by His Word.
I want to have the fullness of God and follow His messenger. Thus, for us, the Branham Tabernacle, the only way to follow the messenger as he follows the Lord by His Word, is to PRESS PLAY and hear the Pure Voice of God speak to us the words of infallibility.
We don’t have to guess or check what we are hearing, we just have to Press Play and believe every Word we are hearing.
I heard Brother Branham say the following quote early one morning on the Voice radio. When I heard It, it came on my heart that this is exactly how I / we feel about saying:
WE JUST PRESS PLAY AND HEAR THE TAPES.
It sounded like a statement of our Faith to me.
That’s the reason I believe in this Message, is because It comes from the Word of God. And anything outside the Word of God, I don’t believe it. It could be so, but still I’ll just stay with what God said, and then be sure that I’m right. Now, God can do what He wants to. He’s God. But as long as I stay with His Word, then I know that’s all right. I believe that.
Glory, he said it so PERFECT. All other ministries could be, because God can do what He wants to, with who He wants to, He’s God. But as long as I stay with His Word, His Voice, the Tapes, then I know that’s all right. I believe that.
I know many read my letters and misunderstand what I say and what I believe to be the Will of the Lord for our church. May I humbly say once again as the prophet said: “These letters are meant for my church only. The ones that desire to call the Branham Tabernacle their church. The ones that WANT TO BE IDENTIFIED AND CALLED TAPE PEOPLE”.
If you disagree with what I say and believe, that is 100% fine my brothers and sisters. My letters are not meant for you or against you or your churches. Your church is sovereign and you must do as you feel led to do, but according to the Word, so is ours, and this is what we believe is God’s provided way for us.
All are always welcome to unite with us each Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time. This week, God’s Star for our age, William Marrion Branham, will be bringing us the Message, 60-1209 The Sardisean Church Age.
