Question

How did 'Only Believe' become the theme song of Brother Branham's campaigns?

Answer

Don’t forget to pray for me. And when you’re…when you’re praying, and whenever you think of me, sing, “Only Believe,” will you. That’s my favorite song. It’s a… Paul Rader wrote that song.

Question

Why is Brother Branham no longer a Baptist?

Answer

And then, as I bring Christ to you, He will be on your hand. And you’ll have to answer for what attitude you took towards it: if you turned it down, or if you accepted it. You…God will have you to answer for your attitude of this meeting, so you must realize it’s a very sacred thing. Brother Lindsay...

Question

According to James 5:14, whose duty is it to pray for the sick?

Answer

“Go ye and sin no more, or a worse thing come upon you.” Jesus said, “Which is it easier do? Say thy sins be forgiven thee, or take up thy bed and walk”? It’s all on the same. And so I believe in James 5:14, said, “If any among you are sick, let them call the elders of the church; let them anoint th...

What happens when a revival is turned into an organization?

Question

Did Brother Branham take money for his ministry?

Answer

When I was a minister, a Baptist preacher in my church for twelve years, I never even received one red penny of salary. I never tried to take but one offering in my entire life.

Question

What must happen before the gifts can be restored to the Church?

Answer

I know the next thing to happen is the restoration of the gifts to the Church. And it’s the hardest thing I’ve had to do in this pioneering work, is to do this, as to see the people that…God cannot give back the gifts to the Church as long as His Church is divided.

Question

What does church unity have to do with Divine healing?

Answer

And then, last week, I got to see the uniting of the Assemblies of God, the Church of God, the Foursquare church, and the Pentecostal Oneness together.

Question

What does 'Come out of her, My people' call people to come out of?

Answer

The church has failed. See? Instead of bringing the people together as one body, it separated them out. Just like Moses, instead of speaking to the rock, he smote the rock (You see?), and it failed. So the church will never take the people over Jordan. That’s right. But now, God has changed His orde...

Question

Why does Brother Branham call the Pentecostal age a rejected age?

Answer

We’re in our third and last stage. And remember, the Pentecostal age is a rejected age. I hate to say that, for I’ve never found faith in any church like the Pentecostal church. But it’s rejected, because it’s the Laodicean last church age, lukewarm. It’ll be spued from the mouth of Christ. But God...

Will the divisions among God's people ever come to an end?

Answer

Now, who was He speaking to? Moses. Many of you in your Sunday school lessons has read of this great Bible character, Moses. I like him, because he was a—a shadow of the—of the coming of Christ. He was just a shadow of Christ’s coming. Notice. Now, when the people of Israel had gone down in Egypt, a...

Question

If Christ restored what the first Adam lost, what is the matter with the Church today?

Answer

He was the first one who had the jurisdiction over everything in the earth (Is that right?), over all the animals. And he lost his—his power.
