Well, they wrote out the Scripture; that’s Paul speaking to the Romans. Now he said…Let me just kind of polish it up so you can see. He said, “In me is two persons: right, one wants me to do; wrong, the other wants me to do. And every time I start to do right, then the wrong hinders me.” How many of you people on the...

Yes, it is at the directions of the Holy Ghost. If you are a son of God, or a daughter of God, whatever you are, when you have received the Holy Spirit, then the Holy Spirit directs you to do things. I don’t have time. I just wish I could tell you little stories. Every time I think of it, just have to pass it by. But...

My dear brother or sister, whoever it is, it was not Jesus that would not receive worship. In Revelation 22:8, you’ll read it was the prophet, angel, who would not receive worship. When John fell down to worship the angel that had showed him these things, he said, “See that you do it not, for I am of thy fellow brethre...

It was a promise He gave them, breathed upon them His promise, said, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” It was a promise. They went to the upper room to wait for the promise to be fulfilled. The same thing is when we lay hands upon you to be healed, then you go on about your business waiting for the promise to be fulfilled.

“Did He change His physical mask?” I—I wouldn’t know, because I think what it was, He didn’t change His mask there. The thing He did, He withheld their seeing or knowing Him. Like those who came from Emmaus, they walked with Him all day and it was withholden from them. And they saw a man on the bank one time fishing w...

The angel of the Lord is a messenger from the Lord, and the Lord Himself is that Person, not the person of the angel, the angel from the Lord. Let me show you. Earthly speaking here’s an angel from the Lord. Earthly speaking here’s an angel from the Lord. Earthly speaking here’s the angel from the Lord. How do we know...

I believe brother, sister, ever who asked it, it’s a cause of the conditions of time. The revival is over. The revival has lasted some fifteen years, and never did last before over about three years. I believe it’s received its last revival. And I believe that’s why you can’t pray and feel in the Spirit like you used t...

Then, if it’s contrary to the Word, it’s the devil’s thinking. If it’s with the Word, it’s God thinking. If it’s the wrong thoughts, it’s the devil. If it’s good thoughts of the Word and of God, it’s God’s thinking.

Take the very vice versa from it. If the devil makes you think that—that—that you are…If you know you’re a Christian, and he tries to make you think you’re not a Christian, just take the versa, say, “I am a Christian.” As long as your experience matches in God’s Word say, “I’m a Christian.” Anything else, the same way....

Take exactly the opposite. If you’re always wanting your way, and that one little brat that wants to always have everything your way, turn right back around and give everything you got the other way. If you’re selfish and you want to hold everything, then start giving away what you got. See? Do whatever…Just go the vic...

Keep them in Christian company as long as you possibly can. Keep them with…If it’s a girl, keep her with Christian girls; Christian boys, vice versa. If she’s old enough to go with a boy, see that she keeps with the right kind of a boy. Discourage her to any boy otherwise, or boy to a girl. If she’s going with an unbel...

No, I never said it’s ended. If I did, you misunderstood, or I said it wrong. It is…This is the last church age; it’s the end of church ages, the Laodicea. It hasn’t ended; when it ends, the Church is gone. So as long as the Church is here, it hasn’t ended. See?

No, no, no, you’re…I wished that I could just have more time on that. See, see? The Bride, when She’s taken from the church, then the church age will cease. Laodicea goes into chaos; the Bride goes to Glory; and the tribulation period sets in upon the sleeping virgin for three and a half years while Israel is getting i...

I’ll wait and see if the Holy Spirit reveals it in that manner. I don’t know yet.

No, no! After the—the Revelation 7, is where he seen the hundred and forty-four thousand sealed, and after that he saw coming up, coming back was that great number which no man could number which was the Bride. It will have…The…Malachi 4 will be finished and the Bride taken up, and the…then the…this group of—of Elijah...

No, they were revealed in the Seven Seals; that’s what the Thunders was about. They was to reveal…The Seven Thunders that had uttered their voices and no one could make out what it was…John knew what it was, but he was forbidden to write it. He said, “But the seventh angel, in the days of his sounding, the seven myster...

Now, they asked me did I believe it. I can’t prove it by the Scriptures, but perhaps there will come a time, maybe, I don’t know. There may be just…You see? If it would, it would give identification of His closeness at hand, being so…He said, “But He comes like a thief in the night.” See? He comes to…Like that book I r...

No, there’s nothing you can do right now. Yes, genuine believers that’s baptized in the Holy Ghost will be in the Bride. Of course, they’re selected and called out. The sleeping virgin didn’t have any oil. Those that had oil went in, but the… “What can we do to lighten the load?” Yes, brother, sister, ever who is wri...

Brother…I’ve had to answer them when I was tired, wore out, and kind of, you know, don’t feel too good, so I—I trust that it answer the questions. I—I thank you very much and I—I forgot what that I was going to answer him. Preachers, a minister, why we have these burden…don’t have burdens for lost souls. I believe tha...

That would be the only thing I would know. Her husband, being a minister, won’t let her hear the Word. She wants to hear It, but he won’t permit her to hear It, and just pray for her. I believe the woman is—is saved, of course.

Yes, sir! That is exactly right.

Absolutely, I just explained that this morning, the same, on the same thing. You’ve got to have all stages. You’re begotten of the Spirit, just like a baby is begotten, and in the womb of a mother, but not born until they receive the Holy Ghost. That’s right. You’re born then. You’re not converted, you’re in the proces...

The unbelievers will go down in the tribulation period with the sleeping virgin, and all those others (unbelievers, and sleeping virgin), and the remnant of Israel that’s to be taken out.

Sweeten your temper with prayer, then make up your mind. There…I don’t guess there is too many people in this building ever had any more temper than I did to begin with. Oh, I—I had a mouth mashed all the time. And I—I—I’d taken a lot of my meals out of a straw. My mother, as you know, was a half Indian, and my father...

In the Millennium they’re in the grave. “The rest of the dead lived not for a thousand years.”

I’m going to answer that question for you; it was just revealed to me. I’m going to tell you the truth. Yes, sir! There’s a place for all the Bride to gather. You want to know where it’s at? In Christ. Correct. Just gather in there; we’re all together.

Well, sister, I’m going to agree with you one thing. First place, the Bible said that a man should not have long hair. And if he had long hair, I’d tell him, just the same as I tell you. He’s wrong. But most men, lot of them’s like me, don’t have any at all. But most men cut their hair, look like men. And now, if they...

Now, course the sister was wrong. I am not Jesus Christ; I am His servant. We’ve went through that so many times. But… Oh, I’m getting pretty close now; just pray for me, just a little bit longer.

Now, God…Think He give you the promise, and it happened like Sarah. Sure, it’s the same God; He answers the same way. Don’t you believe nothing else but it was of God. Brother Branham, I would like to ask you some questions concerning the Bible. Please explain Saint Mark… I got that one; I’ve got that, Saint Mark 16. W...

They never knew it in their days; it’s just now revealed. After you know what to do, “To he that knoweth to do right and doeth it not, to him it’s sin.”

Now, I’m against tobacco. I’m against the use of tobacco; any born again Christian will be; that’s all, because it’s wrong. We know that even the medical science say that’s what starts most of throat and—and lung cancer, is—is tobacco. They say, “Smoke filtered cigarettes.” Now, to you men and women who smoke, that’s...

I got that one even this morning. See? It’s one thousand years. All right. Brother Branham, the problem of what… Yeah, I got that. The wheat and the tares, you remember we got that. I believe we’re coming right down now. I may have throwed a bunch of these back. Let’s see. Same thing. Brother Branham, I am a mother of...

Speak to her in love. I don’t…I believe I answered that, but I—I’d…Don’t—don’t try to push anything on anybody. Just be salty; they’ll long to be like you. Brother, sister, I believe I’ve answered these. Brother Branham, please explain about the five foolish virgins. I—I know I got that one. It’s wrote, and it’s red pa...

Well, that’s a good question. If you’re around snake handlers, and they say Mark 16…Certainly! I believe that the Bible means just what It says. I believe if we try to tempt the Lord into something, we’re in for it. But I don’t think that God means for you to bring me a bottle of arsenic and see if I could drink it and...

Well, they’ll…You know what will probably happen? I say this, now. I can’t prove this, but I…They’ll simply go right on preaching just like they have now, and people going on thinking they’re getting saved; and the Bride will done be gone.

No, I can’t endorse it. No, sir. See?

Yes, it’s the same person. Revelation 10 is the seventh angel’s Message, which…seventh angel messenger of the Seventh Church Age, which is Malachi 4. Is birth control… I have a lot on that. I just throwed these back, and I—I didn’t want to answer; I’d rather see you privately.

A generation, or a lotted time, a man’s lotted time on earth was one hundred and twenty years, which took Noah, the period, to build the ark, which was considered a generation in that day. One hundred and twenty years was a man’s lotted time. And he preached, according…Genesis 6:3, he preached to that generation, which...

Yes, the same person. All right. Oh, wait a minute. No! Pardon me, I’m sorry. Just…See the Holy Spirit catch that for me then? No! I thought it said the…See? What it was in Malachi 3, there, “I send My messenger before My face,” which was Elijah. In Malachi 4 it turns back around and said, “Behold I send Elijah.” Mala...

I believe in integration. I believe that a man…No matter what his color is or who he is, he’s a man just like I am. That’s exactly. And I believe, if they’d just leave those colored people alone, and them communists didn’t get out there and inspire them… Now, they wanted…Now, the real genuine colored people, there’s a...

No, keep preaching just as hard as you can preach. Brother, stay with it; I’m right behind you.

Years ago, about thirty years ago, I gave a prophecy that it would come to pass that in the last days that there would be diseases amongst animals, amongst cattle, and eggs, even to eggs. It come to pass, that there’d be eggs that wouldn’t be fit to eat. Also, it would come to pass that people living in valleys…Now rem...

Yes, indeedy! Do that. Continue on believing. Notice, I call…was standing at Brother Wood’s yesterday when a phone call came in from a man that’s in a wheelchair, that come here burdened for a brother or somebody that was—that was a alcoholic and been through the ’s-Anonymous and taken shots, in the hospital, and so fo...

What should you do? Now, listen, you’re supposed to obey your husband; that’s the Word. Now, if he tells you and refuses you to read the Bible, go to church, or something like that, you don’t have to obey that, because, “He that will—won’t forsake his father, mother, husband, wife, or whatever it is and follow Me, is n...

In Christ. Yep! For the last day, they’ll gather in Christ. Don’t forget that now. We got a gathering place; we got it just exactly.
