Divine healing today is not for the unbeliever, it’s for those who believe. The baptism of the Holy Spirit today is not for unbelievers, it’s for those who believe. Jesus died for believers, not for unbelievers, it’s for those who believe. The supernatural follows who is supernatural minded. That’s...

What happened the first time the Name of Jesus Christ was spoken by mortal lips?

The first time that the Name of Jesus Christ was spoke through mortal lips, caused a dead baby in his mother’s womb to come to life and received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. If It’ll do that to a dead baby, what ought It to do to a borned again Church? I don’t understand. Oh, my. He sa...

Did the virgin Mary receive the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost?

But when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all in one place in one accord, not saying, “I’m Methodist. I’m Baptist. I’m Lutheran. I’m this.” They were in one place and one accord. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound, not up the road, not from the seminary, but from heaven, a sou...

How does a person come into the Church of the living God?

Dear brother, sister, there’s only one Church, and that’s the body of believers out of every church, that are truly believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. That’s the only Church there is. We do not come into the Church—into the Church of God. We become into this fellowship; the Baptist fellowship, the...

What is the difference between the fundamental and the Full Gospel people?

You know what I find in traveling? I say this with humbleness. I find two classes of people. One, the fundamental, the other one, the Full Gospel. They’re both fine classes of people. But here’s the trouble. The fundamental knows what they are, positionally, in Christ, but don’t have much faith to e...

When Brother Branham says God's seal is there to stay, is he teaching eternal security?

When God once signs His Name across something like that, signs your name, or the Name of Christ, and a notary takes the seal and puts on there, and presses that thing down. Brother, it’s there to stay, what I mean. You know what I’m speaking of. Now, I’m not preaching eternal security either, being...

Why do some people healed on the platform lose their healing afterward?

I’ve seen people come to the platform that was totally blind, couldn’t even see their hands before them. And in less than five minutes, take this same Bible and read a chapter out of it. And so three or four days more, come right back just as blind as they was in the first place. They get out amongs...

The Lord has told us through prophecy to witness unto others of the things which we have heard and seen here, such as the nearness of the Coming, baptism in the Name, in Jesus’ Name, and such things. We have told these things to some who seem to be Christians, yet they don’t seem to believe. What do you think will happen to those people? Will they go in the Rapture?

Now, I’m glad you said it that way, “What do you think?” Which that wouldn’t make it right because I would think it. I believe that no man can walk in the Light of God until God reveals It to him. And I don’t believe that any man that…All these hidden things are hid from the people, and no man can s...
