Question

How did Brother Branham answer people who called him a spiritualist, a medium, or mental telepathy?

Answer

When Jesus was here on earth…Now, I know a lot of people said I was a spiritualist, a medium, and I was mental telepathy. And any one with good common sense knows better than that. That shows that there’s a mental deficiency of those people that think that. That—that’s right. Not long ago in a certain meeting at Cleveland…Brother Hall was at the meeting. A doctor came into the meeting. He said, “Oh, it’s mental telepathy.” He said…He said, “I want…” Told one of the ladies that just been healed. She said, “Oh, that brother’s doing miracles in the Name of the Lord Jesus.” He said, “Well, I want to see him.” Said, “What you want to see him for?” He said, “I got something wrong with my leg.” I said, “Doctor, it’s not your leg; it’s your head what’s wrong down there.” I said…That’s right. Yes, sir. Talk about mental telepathy…My, it’s the power of Jesus Christ in His promise by His Word, that He said He would do these things in the last days. And they’re here to vindicate His Presence. Amen. Do you believe that? No, sir. He was called a spiritualist and a medium too (That is true), called Beelzebub. One time, there was a man came to Him by the name of Philip. And he got saved, and he went and got his brother, Nathanael. And when he told him, said, “Come, see Who I found, Who Moses and the law spoke of, Jesus of Nazareth.” He said, “Could anything good come out of Nazareth?” a little critical. Said, “You come and see.” And when he got down there to Him, He’s…Maybe Jesus was having a prayer line, praying for the sick. He seen Nathanael coming up; He said, “Behold, an Israelite in whom there is no guile.” Went ahead… And he said, “Whence knowest Thou me, Rabbi (or Master, Reverend, whatever you want to say, Teacher)?” And He said, “Before Philip called you, when you was under the tree…” He said, “You’re the Son of God, the King of Israel.” And he fell down and worshipped Him, become a disciple. Is that right? Now, what if he’d have walked away and say, “I…You know, that’s mental telepathy. I’ve got to study that thing out.” You’ll never figure God out, so you might as well forget about it now. You’ve got to believe it. God is not known no other way but by faith. You have to accept it. Then there was a woman coming out from the well to get some water, about eleven o’clock in the day. Probably she’d been out all night and didn’t get up early enough. Or maybe she was so ashamed of herself, she didn’t go out with the respectable ladies. But she came to get some water from the well. And when she did, why, there Jesus was setting at the well. And she came up, and He spoke to her, and said, “Bring Me a drink.” And she said, “It is not customary for You to…” He talked to her a little while, and He said one word, “Go get your husband.” She said, “I don’t have any husband.” Said, “You had five.” She said, “I perceive that You’re a prophet.” She went into the city and said, “Come and see a Man that told me all the things I ever done.” See?
