Question

Why did Brother Branham refuse to touch the bank draft for a million and a half dollars sent to him?

Answer

And every penny that’s left from our meetings (Brother Lindsay and them knows just what we eat, and so forth) we turn right straight back into the Gospel work, back, and try to live just as cheap as I can. When I go to the cities, I don’t look for big hotels. The cheapest one I can find, that’s what...

Question

What is the purpose of the prayer cards given out for the prayer line?

Answer

[A brother calls the prayer line—Ed.] Oh, isn’t He wonderful, glorious? While the prayer line’s being formed, believe now with all of your heart. We’ll wait first till we get some out. You don’t have to have a prayer card. That doesn’t have a thing to do with it. That prayer card is merely to get pe...

Question

What was the Light that came down while Brother Branham was baptizing at the Ohio River?

Answer

Mr. Lacy looked at that, he said, “Well, it’s been said by hypocrites that those lights that were around the saints and the Saviour, was just artist’s work.” Said, “They were there because it can’t be doubted no more. That is not psychology; a optical lens of the camera won’t take psychology. No, it...

Question

Did Brother Branham believe in eternal sonship?

Answer

And there, that great space where no one can fathom in their mind beyond that, that space, eternity. That’s Jehovah God out there. And we’re taught in the beginning, that the Logos, or the Son of God went out of God. Now, I do not believe in eternal sonship. That’s even radical to even mention such...

Question

Was Brother Branham against doctors and medical treatment?

Answer

When you get out of here and some critical doctor…All doctors won’t be that narrow minded. But if some critical doctor tells you you’re not healed, and so forth, and don’t believe in that. You just go right on, and do what God told you to do. Don’t you listen to none of it. Go to another doctor if y...

Question

Why did Brother Branham say he had to keep fasting while ministering on the platform?

Answer

If your—if you keep your stomach empty, the blood is at your brain, and you must be ready. And if you’re all full when you’re…That’s the power of fasting. When you’re—when you’re full, the blood goes into your stomach to digest your food. You see? And then when you’re empty, it’s in your—in your bra...

Question

Did Brother Branham ever claim to be a divine healer?

Answer

So…?…I said, “Well, I…The only thing that I can do,” I said, “I’ve spoke, I guess, three or four million people, direct or indirect. I have never, at any time, ever claimed to be a Divine healer.” I said, “Never. I can heal no one. But,” I said, “the things that I say, if they are of God, then God w...

Question

What two signs was Brother Branham told he would be given?

Answer

I knew that was the same Voice that spoke to me all along. That was the first time I’d ever seen It like that, but I knowed that Voice. He said, “Fear not. I am sent from the Presence of the Almighty God to tell you that your peculiar birth and peculiar life, been always misunderstood with men.” Sai...

Question

Can Brother Branham heal anyone?

Answer

Tonight, I’d promised that we could go right straight to the prayer line. We’ve got a…?…[Blank spot on tape—Ed.] the reason that I read this just now. I was questioned just a little bit before coming here tonight by someone. Said, “Brother Branham, why don’t you heal all those people?” And I believe...

Question

Why does Brother Branham not call the gift sent from God the Holy Spirit?

Answer

Someone told me here not long ago, said, “Brother Branham,” said, “now, why don’t you give all the praise to the Holy Spirit and say that’s the Holy Spirit?” I said, “My brother, I must be truthful. [Blank spot on tape—Ed.] Whether it’s the Holy Spirit…” I said, “It—it—it’s a gift sent from God. He...

Question

Could Brother Branham empty a hospital by telling all the sick to rise and follow him?

Answer

But the minister said to me, said, “Brother Branham, if you…If God has met you and give you that to pray for the sick,” said, “you could go out here to the hospital, and say, ‘All you sick people, rise up, follow me out.’ And if you’re truly a man sent from God,” said, “every one of them would have...

Question

When is Brother Branham able to tell people about their diseases?

Answer

Many times in the leading…[Blank spot on tape—Ed.] Since I was a little boy… Sunday a week, if we get to stay that long, I wish to tell my life story, Sunday a week, the afternoon service, to let you know just what tears and blood has been along the road. Someone might think it’s all roses, but that...

Question

Does a sick person have to come up to the platform to be healed?

Answer

Somehow I just, somehow, I believe that there’s great things going to happen, don’t you? Look, Moses performed his signs one time before the children of Israel and every one of them believed him. Is that right? He didn’t have to put his hand in the second time to make his sign. He didn’t have to tur...

Question

Do the two signs Brother Branham was given heal the sick?

Answer

Listen at the order of it; ministers, especially. Now, here it is, now listen close. “If you get the people to believe you,” He said, “Be sincere when you pray, nothing will stand before your prayer.” I said, “They won’t believe me. I’m uneducated, I can’t speak right, and I have a poor family and s...

Question

Is the discernment on the platform a form of psychology?

Answer

If you notice many times at night, I’ll draw the attention of somebody and start talking to them, especially on the platform. They’ll be speaking to them. First, I have to get the contact of their soul. And then when it begins to vibrate against you, then the power of the Holy Spirit just discerns r...

Question

Did Brother Branham take part in religious debates?

Answer

Have they showed the picture of Him yet? I want…Have you, Brother Lindsay? Well, I beg your pardon. Brother Lindsay, hasn’t the picture. Brother Lindsay’s going to try to bring it to show it, maybe tomorrow night. How many’d like to see it?…?… He will tell you the story of it. It was in a debate. No...

Question

What did Brother Branham say would prove him a false prophet?

Answer

I wish you’d be reverent while I’m praying. It’s not a excitable matter. It’s reverent, and we must approach God with a true sincere heart, and just as reverent as you can be. And obey—when I ask you to bow your head, I want you to do it, now that is while I’m praying. I respect that anywhere. And t...

Question

Did the Angel that visited Brother Branham have wings?

Answer

And so therefore, friends, as a—as your brother, that’s all I am. But God’s gift is the Spirit of God that came down in the form of an Angel. Now, He didn’t have wings. He looked like a man. I heard Him when He walked [Brother Branham illustrates—Ed.], just as that, and walked on the floor. Walked r...

Question

How did Brother Branham decide which prayer card number would start the prayer line?

Answer

We could give you a thousand cards, but we can’t minister that many in a night, so we just give out about fifty. And then they got so, that when the fifty was give out, who was going to be first? So the way that we did then, they come and shuffle up the cards together, putting them all together, pas...
