Dear Lambs,
What an honor and privilege it is to say, “We are God’s lambs, whom He sent His seventh angel messenger to call out and feed His stored-up and hidden Manna.”
We are satisfied and believe this Message is the Voice of God that has been sent to perfect His Bride. We believe the shuck is pulling away from the wheat, and now His Bride is laying in the Presence of the Son, PRESSING PLAY to ripen.
And that’s what we’re here for, friend, stay in the Presence of the Son till our little group of people here, till it becomes so ripe to Christ, it become bread on His table. That’s what I want it to do.
Anyone that don’t believe that PRESSING PLAY and hearing the vindicated Voice of God speak is the most important Voice you must hear, is a person running from the presence of the Lord.
You have to face up to it, or do something about it. You have got a responsibility, everybody has, and you must face up to these things.
How true and important this quote is for today. There is so much division among the called out of God. Is it more essential to play tapes in church to hear the Voice of God, or is it now more essential for the ministry to minister the Word?
God has called and placed the ministry here to keep the Word before the people. They are Shepherds. The Word teaches this. They are to be respected and honored as men whom God has called and placed.
We cannot, and should not, ever say they are not the Bride. That is WRONG and not according to what the prophet taught us. I’ve heard people say: “If they are not playing the tapes in their churches, they are anti-Word.” You should never say such a thing like that. That shows me you have the wrong spirit.
I’ve heard others have said, “They all must stream with BT or they are out of the will of God”. You should never say such a thing as that. Only God knows who is and who isn’t Bride. That isn’t the spirit of the Bride to say such a thing as that.
Even some of the people that are streaming with BT are saying, “if you go to church to hear the tapes and don’t stream in your home you’re wrong!” That is incorrect brother and sisters. If you’re saying that, STOP, you are wrong. Everyone must do as THEY FEEL LED OF THE LORD TO DO.
Many ministers feel preaching is God’s provided way for today. We just see things different, that’s alright. How many times did Brother Branham make this same comparison? We just heard him on Q&A, when people were talking about Brother Jackson being wrong, he condemned them saying anything against him and his church.
I’m just preaching by way of this letter what I believe is God’s provided way for the Branham Tabernacle. They are our brothers and sisters. They love the Lord and this Message. That is how they feel the Lord is leading them. Praise the Lord.
They see it one way and we see it another, that’s fine. I can’t see it their way and they can’t see mine. To me, there are many ways God has provided, but there is only ONE PERFECT WAY, AND FOR ME, THAT’S PRESSING PLAY.
I pray I am not misunderstood here. Laying on of hands and praying for the people is 100% according to the Word. Anointing with oil and praying for the sick is God’s Word according to the Scripture. Brother Branham preached and taught both to us to be the Word. But I want GOD’S PERFECT WAY HE HAS PROVIDED….JUST BELIEVE BECAUSE GOD SAID SO. That is what I am striving to do.
But now for healing, it’s just God’s mercy that He, “By His stripes you were healed.” Now, first the Word says so, that should be sufficient, but if you don’t believe it in the Word, then there’s gifts in the Church, such as men who are inspired to know how to teach that, that’ll make it so plain to you, that’s, and faith to believe.
I believe in the 5-fold ministry. I believe in God called men to preach and teach the Word. But, I believe hearing the Voice of God on the tapes is God’s PERFECT WAY FOR ME.
In hearing the tapes, I don’t even have to understand, JUST BELIEVE EVERY WORD I HEAR. There is no person, no minister, no other place I can go to where I believe EVERY WORD and place my Eternal destination, but the tapes.
Never before since the beginning of time has God give His people the opportunity and the ability to hear for themselves His Voice speak lip to ear. Every mystery is revealed in the tapes. Every question is answered on the tapes. Everything the Bride needs to be perfected is on the tapes.
Every Word spoken on the tapes is God’s Word. I might not understand or be able to explain everything, but I don’t have to. He just requires me to say AMEN TO EVERY WORD, and the TAPES is the ONLY place I can do that.
But when—when you have to do something different, when you have to stand to your conviction of what you know to be the Truth, there is where the hard part, that’s the rub comes, right there.
I believe with all that is in me, we are in God’s perfect Will and on the ship to Nineveh. I’d love for the world to come sail on our ship with us this Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, as we hear God speak to His Lambs.
