Answer

Now, that interview, I’ll tell you how we do that. It used to be that we just at random caught catch can, who first, this, that, but we got a system to that.

Question

Why does Brother Branham ask people not to move around while the prayer line is going on?

Answer

The disciples, when they seen Jesus doing His work, as He does tonight, he said, “We know now that no man needs to teach You for by this we believe that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God.” Do you believe tonight He is the Christ, the Son of God? Now, be real reverent. And would you come. Now, don’...

Question

Should someone who does not believe with all their heart come into the prayer line?

Answer

Because the Bible said, “Go ye and sin no more, or a worse thing come upon you.” And what is sin? Unbelief. When God has made Hisself manifested to you, like that.

Question

What did Brother Branham do with money beyond what he needed to live on?

Would you do this for me, audience?

While the things are going on here, God is moving in the Spirit through His people....

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.

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.

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?
