Dear Precious Friends,
My beloved, my darlings of the Gospel, my begotten children unto God.
What a wonderful weekend we had with our Lord. It was like nothing else, just spending time with Him, speaking to Him, hearing His Voice, worshipping Him, thanking Him, and telling Him how much we love Him.
What an honor it is to be living in this day and being a part of Scripture being fulfilled. How can mortal words express all that is in our heart? As the prophet said, It’s not me, there is just Something deep inside, pushing and bubbling up in me; an artesian well of the Holy Spirit. It is the Bride making Herself ready for the Bridegroom.
How excited a bride gets right before her wedding. Her heart starts beating so rapidly as the last few seconds pass....she knows the time has finally arrived. “I have made myself ready. He is coming for me. We will now be ONE.”
We are truly living in the last closing moments of time. The Bride will soon be raptured and called to our honeymoon Supper. He is taking us to new heights. There is no more question; no more wondering; WE ARE THE BRIDE.
And He is not done yet. He still wants to bless and encourage His beloved chosen Bride. How He loves to encourage Her and tell Her how much He loves Her. How proud He is of Her.
He has yet another very special Revelation to give Her. When there are so many voices in the world rejecting playing the tapes, He once again wants to reassure the Bride they are in His perfect Will and His provided Way.
His program has always been rejected. His Bride has always been persecuted. The people are always wanting their own way, their idea. They want a different leader to lead them. But God sent ONE leader to lead His Bride, Himself, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit of this day, as in ALL OTHER DAYS, IS GOD’S PROPHET.
They have always wanted men to lead them. In Samuel’s day, God said they were rejecting Him by not wanting Samuel to lead them. It seemed strange as Samuel was a man too, but the difference was Samuel was the man God chose to lead them. It was not Samuel, It was God using Samuel. He was God’s chosen VOICE AND MAN TO LEAD THEM, but they wanted other voices.
Saul knew the people feared Samuel, so he had to proclaim, “Saul AND Samuel”. He had to scare the people so they would follow him. Truly, he was called. Truly, he had been anointed by Samuel to be their king, but God STILL had a provided Way, and the prophet He chose to lead them, even to lead Saul. God spoke to His prophet and told Saul what to do. When Saul decided he was anointed too, and didn’t want to hear just the prophet, God took his kingdom away.
So then when they did that, when the great defeat come, then Saul cut up two great ox and sent them to all the people. And I wish you would notice here, when Saul sent the pieces of the ox to all Israel, and said, “Let every man that will not follow Samuel and Saul, let him, this ox, be as this.” Do you see how deceitful he tried to represent himself with the man of God? How—how unchristian it was! The fear of the people was because of Samuel. But Saul got them all to follow him because that the people feared Samuel. “Let them come after Samuel and Saul.”
One day Saul was so troubled. He couldn’t get an answer from God. He couldn’t get comfort. He wanted answers. He knew where he had to go to get the answer he wanted; there was only one place, GOD’S PROPHET, SAMUEL. He had passed over, but he was still THE VOICE OF GOD, EVEN IN PARADISE.
Father wanted His Bride to know who He chose to lead His Bride in this last day, so He took His mighty angel beyond the curtain of time to once again tell us, comfort us, and encourages us that we are in His perfect and provided Will.
Listen very carefully to ALL the prophet is saying.
Now, I would not want you to repeat this. This is before my church, or my sheep that I am pastoring.
Before he tells us anything, he first wants us to know this is ONLY for US, HIS CHURCH, HIS SHEEP, THE ONES HE IS PASTORING. Thus, if you can’t say, “Brother Branham is MY pastor,” I’ve said it before, but there is simply no need to read any further, this is not for you, plus he didn’t want us to even repeat it to no one but to them who believes and says, “Brother Branham is my pastor”.
Right there is our answer to the question we get so much criticism for saying: “Brother Branham is our pastor.” (That’s them tape people.) They’re correct, he is, and we are.
Please don’t get upset with me, I am not saying these things to upset anyone, that would be wrong, but it’s what He is saying to the Bride. I’m not putting my interpretation to it, He’s telling it plainly...God’s Word needs no interpretation.
Whether it was, I was in this body or out, whether it was a translation, it wasn’t like any vision I ever had.
Now he tells us this was not like any vision he had ever had. He went someplace he had never been. It was even GREATER than any vision he had ever saw. He wasn’t dreaming, he saw his body on the bed; HE WAS THERE.
The Bride of Jesus Christ, let that sink in real good. It was the Bride of Jesus Christ on the other side, present tense, that come running up to him, screaming and grabbing him, throwing their arms around him and saying, “Oh, our precious brother!”
He was There; he could feel it; he could hear them. They were talking to him. He stopped, and looked, he was young. He looked back at his old body lying there with his hands behind his head.
Now we have established HE WAS THERE, and It was the Bride of Jesus Christ he was seeing. Now let’s hear what a voice from above was saying to him.
And then that Voice that was speaking, from above me, said, “You know, it is written in the Bible that the prophets were gathered with their people.”
God was not only showing and encouraging His prophet, but there was much more to It. He would come back and tell us not only where we’re going and what it would be like, but to tell us we are in His perfect Will by Pressing Play and that’s how you get to where the Bride is.
Brother Branham said he wanted to see Jesus so bad. But they said to him:
“Now, He is just a little higher, right up that way.” Said, “Someday He will come to you.”
They proceeded to tell him WHO HE WAS.
“You were sent, for a leader. And God will come. And when He does, He’ll judge you according to what you taught them, first, whether they go in or not. We’ll go in according to your teaching.”
Who was sent as a leader? We are going to be judged according to what who taught us? We will enter into Heaven according to whose teaching?
One can say, I teach my people just what Brother Branham said…amen, you should and I believe some do, but don’t make it “Brother Branham and I.”
Let’s read on as He wants to make SURE we understand more clearly.
And them people screamed, and said, “We know that. And we know we’re going with you, someday, back to earth.” Said, “Jesus will come, and you’ll be judged according to the Word that you preached us.
We’ll be judged by the Word HE preached to us. Thus, judgment comes from what the Voice of God said on the tapes. How can anyone say the Voice on the tapes is not the MOST IMPORTANT VOICE you can hear?
“And then if you are accepted at that time, which you will be,”
Are you ready? This will clench the nail on what is the perfect Will of the Lord for the Bride of Jesus Christ. The Bride is telling the prophet what HE WILL DO. No one else. Not a group. Not another pastor, God’s prophet, WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM.
“then you will present us to Him, as your trophies of your ministry.”
Who is going to present us to the Lord Jesus?
The days of just listening to the prophet are over?
Brother Branham never said to play the tapes?
The Bride is screaming and saying if you want to be the Bride you better Press Play.
Still not convinced? Well, there’s even more.
Said, “You will guide us to Him, and, all together, we’ll go back to the earth, to live forever.”
Who is to guide us to Him? Who is leading the Bride? The Bride is telling him that HE WILL GUIDE THE BRIDE TO HIM, then we will go back to earth to live forever.
If there is ANY Revelation in you at all, if you claim you believe This Message, I pray that God will reveal to you that you MUST put His Voice, the tapes, FIRST.
Pastors, put the prophet back into your pulpits. The tapes are the most important Voice you must hear as you are going to be judged by THAT VOICE.
According to the Word, we are in His perfect and provided Will for our day by listening to the Voice of God on the tapes.
If God has opened your eyes to the true Revelation to His Word, I invite you to join us Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, as we hear 60-0515M The Rejected King.
Bro. Joseph Branham
