SOME SCRIPTURES

ABOUT

SUCCESSION OF WILLIAM BRANHAM

AND

TAPE MINISTRY

2

INTRODUCTION

I just felt in my heart to provide these scriptures for the children of God about the

succession of Brother Branham and the tape ministry as it becomes a controversial topic

among the beloved brothers in the End Time Message.

Many think that succession is only the system of the devil as in the denominations. Brother

Branham taught us that Satan just perverts what God made. That’s why we provide first

scriptures of succession in the Bible and in the story of the Church according to the Message

of the hour. Also, since Brother Branham went home many are claiming to be his successor

and taking his place but what is the Message said about it? The quotes are speaking about

Brother Joseph Branham although others don’t like to hear about him and others attempt to

elevate him to a role that is incorrect according to the scripture (Here I stand page 6).

Remember even our Lord Jesus before to go home could not leave the disciples without a

leader although He knew they will all get the Holy Spirit. He pointed Peter telling him feed

my sheep (John 21:17). When the question of circumcision was posed in ACTS 15, Paul and

Barnabas and others went to Jerusalem (where the Message started) and it was Peter who

solved it by the Holy Spirit (ACTS 15:7-11).

Regarding the tape ministry many refuse completely to play the tapes in their churches and

use only Ephesians 4 others only play the tape and don’t like to use Ephesians 4. But the

way is in the middle. The Bible said in ISAIAH 35:8

» 8 † And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of

holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men,

though fools, shall not err therein.

And also the prophet said in 57-0821 HEBREWS.CHAPTER.ONE_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN HEB

WEDNESDAY_ paragraph 62

62 Paul said, "You--you--you go to extremes with that. When you ought to be teaching,

you're still babies and have to have milk."

Therefore the tape ministry and Ephesians 4 have to be used both. That why Voice of God

Recording through Brother Georges Ferguson encourages ministers to share the pulpit with

Brother Branham.

The use of Ephesians 4 never have been a problem as churches used it all along, the

problem is the use of the tapes of the prophet in the churches which is contested. This is the

reason we provide these scriptures to help. May God reveal it to you because every Word of

God requires a revelation of the Holy Spirit Himself to the person.

This document is not exhaustive. Many scriptures may be found again to complete it. We

are thankful to Brother Joseph Branham (Pastor of Branham Tabernacle and President of

VGR) for his interview

that is in this document. Also we thank Brother George Ferguson (Pastor and Representative

of VGR Canada) for his sermons at Paris that inspire us. We are thankful to Brother

Kamalandua (Pastor and representant of VGR Angola) as we consulted his document titled

“If we must believe everything, what about this”.

We believe that these scriptures will be a blessing for the WORD BRIDE as She believes

EVERY WORD of the MESSAGE.

God bless you richly

ELISHA SUCCESSOR OF ELIJAH

2 KINGS 2: 9-12 ….And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask

what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double

portion of thy spirit be upon me…..

» 12 † And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the

horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in

two pieces.

51-0928 AT.THY.WORD_ NEW.YORK.NY FRIDAY_

« E-7 † You remember that young prophet by the name of Elisha, who was the successor of

Elijah? And he went baldheaded when he was just a young man. Some little children run behind him,

saying, "Old bald-head, old bald-head, why didn't you go up like Elijah?" And in doing so, it angered

that prophet. Maybe turning around, he had bald--No, maybe a hair on his head, turned around and

looked; he knew it was right, the children was calling him bald-head, but it angered him. And he put

a curse on those children in the Name of the Lord. And two she bears come out of the woods and

killed forty-two little innocent children. Now, anyone knows that's not the nature of the Holy Spirit,

but it was an angered prophet. See? You have to be careful, examine every case.

JOSHUA SUCCESSOR OF MOSES

JOSHUA 1:1-9

» 2 † Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, …

» 5 † There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was

with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

55-1008 THE.RESULTS.OF.DECISION_ CHICAGO.IL SATURDAY_

« E-11 …And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of...

Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses... I will be with thee.

What a marvelous promise that was to Joshua, the--this new young man, and military leader of

Israel, and had--now was the prophet and to succeed this great man, Moses.

SOLOMON SUCCESSOR OF DAVID

I KINGS 1:30

» 30 † Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son

shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.

56-1001 THE.MINISTRY.EXPLAINED_ CHICAGO.IL MONDAY_

« E-49 † If we had time now to base this down and give the point, but I'll just hurry...

So when Solomon, which was the successor of David, when he came, God anointed Solomon and

gave him a gift. God always has give gifts to lead His people. Search the Scriptures. Gifted human

beings has led God's people, and so he...

OTHER SUCCESSION: PAUL, JOHN, POLYCARP, IRENAEUS, MARTIN

EPHESIAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.3

76-2 At the time of the giving of the Revelation, according to tradition, Paul had already died a

martyr, but John was carrying on in his stead exactly as Paul had done in the days of his ministry.

62-0601 TAKING.SIDES.WITH.JESUS_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN COD FRIDAY_

« 28 † Like in the time of Irenaeus, he carried on the same thing. Martin carried on the

same thing. Polycarp carried on the same thing. Right on down through the age, they had that. And

then the apostle of the Church, the apostle, that was the Paul. And when Paul left, John took over

the Church. And when John left, Polycarp taken It over. When Polycarp left, Irenaeus taken It over.

And on down, Martin, and so forth.

Just kept on going until the Roman Catholic church broke the whole thing to pieces, and burned

them, and scattered them. And the palmerworm eat this, and the cankerworm eat that. And so-forth

eat that, and eat that, until they brought It plumb down to a stalk.

Now, but, God promised to restore again that same thing.

SUCCESSION OF WILLIAM BRANHAM

62-0601 TAKING.SIDES.WITH.JESUS_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN COD FRIDAY_

« 35 † Well, if I thought that there was a denomination or any other group of believers, that

had anything better than we have here, brethren, I would have want to emerge this little body with

it right quick. I've waited, I have longed, I have been under anticipations and believed that some

great one was coming some day, or maybe the great prophet that I speak will come, of the Elisha.

I've always believed and thought, maybe, that maybe I'd live to see the day that when I could

change, when I'd see that person rise on the scene, then I could take my little church and

say, "Brethren, this is the man we have looked for. This man, he is the one." I've waited for

that.

And if actually that has passed, then I'm looking to say, from up here, "Brethren, this is the One,"

coming from here, see. And I--I want to see the church kept up like that.

61-0520 FROM.THAT.TIME_ DAWSON.CREEK.BC SATURDAY_

« E-5 † And now, I am not very formal, because, you know, God's without form. The Bible

said so. So we don't have nothing formal. Around our home, we--it's nothing formal. I have three

lovely little ones at home, and Billy, my son, is with me. And we're just a great family of people that

love the Lord with all of our heart.

I've got a little boy about... he was... Yesterday he was six years old. And... But six years before he

came, the Lord told me I would have this son. And I should call his name Joseph. And the little

boy is already seeing visions and speaking things that actually comes to truth perfectly. Just...

Someday, I'll have to... I hope to walk with him down to the Jordan, and catch my chariot, and go up.

I hope he screams, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel, the horsemen thereof."

My little girls, one of them is not so very little no more. She's already fourteen. They're daddy's girls,

you know how we love our children.

61-0124 BLIND.BARTIMAEUS_ BEAUMONT.TX TUESDAY_

« E-84 ...I'm going one of these days, friends. I'm going to leave the world. I pray that God will take

the Spirit that He's let me have, and put a double portion upon my son, Joseph, to shine the Light

while I'm gone.

And so then... I expected Billy... Billy's one of the finest boys the world could... He wasn't called in

the ministry. Now, I don't want to leave without having somebody to represent, take my

place when I'm gone.

7

58-0620 THE.QUEEN.OF.THE.SOUTH_ GREENVILLE.SC FRIDAY_

« E-11 † I got to leave this world one of these days, but I want to leave it with a true heart,

with doing the very best I can for the Kingdom of God, and go in the harness; that's the way I want to

go. May God help, and put little Joseph, my little boy here, in my place to continue on the

ministry if Jesus tarries.

60-0716 FROM.THAT.TIME_ KLAMATH.FALLS.OR SATURDAY_

« E-116 † Father, I cannot say what it was. I do not know. You know my heart, that I'm only

honest in what I'm saying. You bear me record, Father. And I'll... It's such a sweet place. God, when

my days are done, I'd like to see little Joseph be a man that I could place this Bible in his hand.

Because the day of his dedication, You spoke. Said, "Joseph, thou art a prophet." I pray, God, that

You'll let a double portion of the Spirit on my boy. If You'll just let me live to win souls to You till I get

old, then place--place this Bible over into the hands of my son, Joseph, and tell him to continue with

the same Gospel. It would be a full life, Father.

60-0608 HAVING.CONFERENCES_ CHAUTAUQUA.OH WEDNESDAY_ « E-72 † Friend, death does not change a man; it just changes your dwelling place. I've got a wife, very sweet wife, setting right there. I've got three little children, tw--two little girls and a little boy, and Billy Paul. I want to live for them. But my first purpose is live for Christ, for my ministry. The second, I'd like to live long enough that I could see my little Joseph setting there become a

minister; take the spirit that I shall leave him. May my spirit come upon him. When I

dedicated him to God, standing there in his mother's arms... I don't know, there's ten or fifteen babies. When I picked him up, the Spirit caught me and said, "Joseph, my son, you are a prophet." God, let my spirit come in a double portion on my son. « E-73 † When I come to the end of the road, and I can't go no farther, I want to hand this Bible to Joseph, and say, "Honey, don't you... Don't you compromise on one word. Stay true to God; if it takes everything there is, you stay true to God." When I can see you do that, and see Joseph take my Bible and walk to the pulpit as a anointed servant of God, all done then; all I can do for God. 59-1129 LET.US.SEE.GOD_ SAN.JOSE.CA V-14 N-2 SUNDAY_ « 16 † Many of you has heard of Joseph, haven't you? The African people recently sent him a little coat of several colors. I saw him six years before he came, when the doctor said we'd never have another baby, we could not have. Our children had to be caesarean. My mother, my wife's people is that way; they--their babies are all caesarean. And the Lord told me I was going to have this baby, when the doctor said it could not be done, said it just could not be done. I said, "It'll be anyhow." And we waited four years after a vision come that I'd have a boy, and I should call his name Joseph. And after that, there was another girl born. Everybody laughed at me and said, "You meant Josephine."

8

I said, "No. I meant Joseph, as a boy." He'll perhaps take my place when I'm gone, if Jesus

tarries. And four more years, then the doctor was positive there'd never be another one; four more years Joseph arrived. « 19 † Wonder if mommy, if you could hold him up just a minute. I want them to see what... This boy is already, the spirit of prophecy upon him. And he... Stand up just a little bit, Joseph. There he is. All right. [Congregation applauds--Ed.] He's like his mother, bashful. I'll tell you what happened. We was away... He's four years old now. But when he was three, we were away. And he said, "Daddy?" And I said, "Yes, honey." He said, "David..." That's the boy was crippled and was healed, Mr. Wood's son that lives next door to us. Said, "I was seen him have a wreck on a motorcycle." He doesn't even have a motorcycle. "And it hurt his leg; he tore his clothes on the right side." I said, "Where was that at, honey?" Said, "Down the lane from where we live." And three days later, a boy came through from Kentucky, riding a motorcycle, and David went down the lane and hurt his right side and tore his clothes, just like Joseph saw it. « 23 † When I dedicated him to the Lord the morning, there was many little babies standing up, and had mothers with them along the altar. When I picked up Joseph in my arms, not thinking of

what I was saying, I said, "Joseph, my son, thou art a prophet." That's my prayer anyhow, and I believe it'll be someday; God will take everything that He ever give me, and double it times double, and put on that boy, then when I leave that he'll take my place.

56-0407 BLIND.BARTIMAEUS_ CHICAGO.IL SATURDAY_ « E-4 …And my little boy, Joseph, and I'm trying to bring him up. If God lets me live, I want to bring him up the same way, to be a good clean outdoorsmen, loving God with all of his heart. And I do

believe that my little boy, Joseph, will perhaps, take my place when God calls me from the earth.

And I trust that the prophetic, or whatever it may be, the gift of God that has been so solemnly

given, will rest upon either Billy, or Joseph, one, when I leave, that God will continue the ministry after I'm passed beyond the scene.

63-0630E IS.YOUR.LIFE.WORTHY.OF.THE.GOSPEL_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN V-5 N-5 SUNDAY_

« 297 † I thought maybe Billy would preach the Gospel. God never called him.

But I believe, Joseph, even the little mean boy that he is, I believe God has called him. That's

the reason kids can't get along with him, he's a leader. And I--I--I know that God has called him. I

want to train him in the way of the Word, way of the Word of the Lord, that he'll not forsake that

Word. I want to do it, myself, if God willing. And when I get old and set back, and can see him there,

stand in the pulpit, said, "This same Gospel, my daddy stood for. He is setting there, old and broke,

tonight. I want to take his place and fill his shoes, stand there."

298 Then I'll look up, and say, "Lord, let Your servant depart in peace." That's what I want to see,

so bad, until that time come.

FULFILLEMENT: BROTHER JOSEPH TOOK THE PLACE OF BROTHER BRANHAM

1. Brother Branham was of course the responsible number one of sending tapes

65-0429E THE.CHOOSING.OF.A.BRIDE_ LOS.ANGELES.CA V-2 N-28 THURSDAY_

30 Now, in this, it doesn't exactly mean that I'm speaking this to this congregation present, but

these tapes go around the world. They're translated in, practically, oh, a great deal of the languages,

even into the heathen lands around the world. We send them tapes, free, on a society of the

church. And they're translated. And all out through the jungles of Africa, and to India, and around

the world,

Now Brother Joseph is president of Voice of God Recording sending the tapes since 1981.

2. Brother Branham was the pastor of Branham Tabernacle

Now Brother Joseph is the pastor of Branham Tabernacle since 2015 (50 years after).

Now Brother Joseph is holding the Bible of brother Branham.

3. SO, HE TOOK REALLY THE PLACE OF BROTHER BRANHAM IF YOU CAN CATCH THE VISION (Prov

29.18).

POSITION OF BROTHER JOSEPH ABOUT PLAYINGTAPES IN THE CHURCH

Interview of Brother Joseph by Brother Kamte of Cameroun( see in the internet: Joseph Branham

sa position sur les bandes)

There are the brothers in the country that I have requested that people leave the churches to just

listen to the tapes. This is not true . I have never told the people to leave the churches. I do

encourage the pastors to play the tapes, to play the tapes in their churches, because I am here to

support Brother Branham . I think it is important that you hear the voice of Brother Branham. I do

not encourage to leave …churches. I try just to ecncourage the pastors to play tapes and listen to the

tapes. Certainly, I do not want people to destroy churches, to separate. I have not instructed no one

to do that.

I am speaking with Brother Kamte this morning. As I was expressing to him that He told me many

time that Brother Joseph is against the five-fold ministry. I goes around your country and around the

world that says I am the five-fold ministry. That is not the true. My brother Kamte who is a librairian

but he is a minister, Brother Ferguson . And more important than that I am a minister. Yes I am I am

I must believe that God called me. I believe what Brother Branham said. Brother Branham said that

10

a prophet was in a modern day minister. Brother jonathan can attest and the brothers that I

preached about 5 days a week, sometimes 7 days a week. So I am a minister. I do believe that is a

true 5 –fold ministry and that there a false 5-fold ministry and I want to be part of the true 5-fold

ministry, but for people to keep the VOICE OF THE PROPHET before people, so people said that I am

against 5-fold ministry. That is not true because I am part of the 5-fold ministry. Amen. I have to

believe that I am a minister of the Gospel…

Declaration of Brother Joseph At Cape Town in South Africa (See in the internet Joseph Branham

in Cape Town)

In the ten commandments of many of you has seen, watch into where when the children of Israel

they were escaped accross the red sea and was the death in each sides and they were trying to go

other side. Many people they were running try to get there. And behind becomes pharaoh with

chariots they were catching upon very close. some of the people were already on other side when

they were getting closer and Joshua a true minister of God he grab moses by his hand and he said

Moses. He said stand up on the roc. He said so the people can see you and have courage to get on

other side that what a true minister of God will do. He didn’t say look at Dathan and Kora, Janes and

Jambres. He said look at Moses, Keep your eyes on Moses. God send a prophet for this end time.

And that what a true minister of God will do, he will pointe you back to this Messager. If you hear

to bring another Message or a deep revelation, something else don’ believe it. God send His prophet

. He sent the Message of the hour THUS SAID THE LORD. He told us don’t change a dot or a comma.

Don’t change ONE Word.

What Brother Joseph said is right with the Message as we can read below:

60-0522E ADOPTION.4_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN AD.PT.4 SUNDAY_

« 235 † Realizing, Father, that out into the world these tapes will go. Many microphones are

stretched across this pulpit, which means that tapes are being made, turning back there, the

Voice will be going into different lands across the world, around the world, twenty or thirty

different nations will hear it. I pray for every person that hears this tape, that hasn't got that hope of

Eternal Life, that hasn't got the baptism of the Holy Spirit, may It come to their hearts sweetly. Grant

it, Lord.

63-1128M TESTIMONY_ SHREVEPORT.LA V-17 N-5 THURSDAY_

19 The tape ministry is a worldwide thing, everywhere. I think it's one way God has got

scattering the Message back into the heathen lands, back in where that it has to be translated. And

in Germany, and so forth, they got tapes they go to their congregations, of hundreds and hundreds

of people; and put little things in their ears, and run it onto a tape. And just as I'm speaking, the

minister stands there making the same expressions, and in the other languages, and bringing it out

11

before hundreds. And hundreds are being saved and healed, just through the tapes going out

across the world. All in English, but being translated in many, many different language in tribes

around the world. We hear from them, back through the mail.

65-1125 THE.INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE.OF.CHRIST_ SHREVEPORT.LA V-2 N-15 THURSDAY_

« 339 † Now, Father, being that we see across the country, around the world, in Africa,

dozens, dozens through South Africa, Mozambique, all across the country, little assemblies taking these tapes. And so will this tape go to twenty-some odd, different nations. They're beginning

to see It and pull away, hundreds and hundreds of them. Won't take many, Lord. Then when the last

member is received into the Body, Christ will come.

64-0823M QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.1_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN COD SUNDAY_

« 201 † Now, so help me, here lays the Bible before me; I have on that question, THUS SAITH

THE LORD. And both sides that are arguing are wrong. Both those who remarry the married and so

forth, they're both wrong on what they're doing, but in between it is the truth, the middle of the

road. I don't want to... I'm going to make a tape whether if something happens to me, then the

brethren can play it after I'm gone (See?) to the churches. But I--I want to make a

tape on it and just show you where it's at; but until I feel led of the Lord, I will not say anything about

it. But I feel that on these things that I must be led of the Lord; if I don't, I'll do more damage than I

do good. See?

You. Bring sinners to repentance, bring sick people to the healing knowledge of God. O God, bless

Your saints and bind their hearts together. And as these tapes goes out to the--the cities and the

churches, all out through the nations around the world, may ministering brethren, who has maybe

once misunderstood, understand now, that Thy Church might be prepared.

ORDINATION OF A TAPE BOY MINISTER

SUNDAY_

« 30 † [Brother Ben Bryant says, "Brother Branham, would you lay hands on me? Would

they lay hands on me? I'd like to be ordained."--Ed.] Have you... I didn't know you hadn't.

Brother Ben, here, has come to us. I think he's been preaching for some time. Yet, he hasn't been

officially (I thought he had; that's the reason I called him up) ordained, or hands laid on him here.

32 Brother Ben takes the tapes, as I understand, with his wife. They go into the re-... out-of-way

places, way back into the mountains, into the jungles, and they play these tapes and comment

on the tapes. Many times they are run out, cast out, throwed out. We expect that. "For all that live

godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecutions."

« 34 † Dear God, we lay our hands upon our Brother Ben, by a sign that we love him. And

we believe, Lord, that he is willing to do a work for You, to be sent out with these tapes, to play

them among some mountain people in the way away places where probably many of us would never

get, but yet the Message must go to all the world. We pray that You will bless our brother, and give

to him Your Spirit, and may It come upon him. And guide him, and direct him and his wife to those

places where maybe that one soul is way out there, and the doors cannot close until that one sheep

is brought in. Thou art not satisfied with ninety and nine. The... Every name that's on the Book must

be brought in. Help them, Lord, as we lay hands upon him, as associating him with us as our brother.

And our help and prayer for him, will go with him. And we pray that You'll bless him, Lord, wherever

he goes. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Bless you, Brother Ben! The right hand of fellowship we give you, as minister brothers. God bless

you, brother.

148 If you was to... If you want to run this tape down some night and play it before the meetings,

that the people will understand it, let this be played; just this part of the tape but no more, just

this. Any part of this that you want played for a certain thing, just keep running it till you find it,

and then play it. See, 'cause it's questions.

62-0601 TAKING.SIDES.WITH.JESUS_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN COD FRIDAY_

« 104 † Well, one Message that I preached here to you all... Look, I've been preaching from

one to six hours to you, on a Message. Well, if I had to use one of those Message, I'd take a week to

take It, just a little bit here and a little bit there, see, because It's been stored up here.

105 It's on tapes. It'll go worldwide on the tapes, where people in their houses. Them tapes will fall

right into the hands of the predestinated of God. He can direct the Word. He'll direct everything

just exactly to its course. That's the reason He sent me back to do this. "Store up the Food here."

He forbid me to go overseas.

TAPE MINISTRY IS THE UNIQUE MINISTRY TO UNITE THE BRIDE AND THE MOST FAITHFUL

We may agree that the brothers of different doctrines created by Ephesians 4 can listen

together a tape of the prophet. Therefore it is the ONLY ministry that can bring the Bride

together:

63-0818 THE.UNITING.TIME.AND.SIGN_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN V-6 N-10 SUNDAY_

« 91 † God is uniting His Bride. She is coming together, from the East and the West,

and the North and South. There is a uniting time, and that's on right now. What is She

uniting for? The Rapture. Amen! God's getting Her ready. Yes sir, uniting! What is She

uniting with? With the Word! "For all heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall

never pass away." She's uniting Herself with THUS SAITH THE LORD regardless of what any

denomination or anybody else says. She's uniting Herself. She's getting ready. Why? She is

the Bride. That's right. And She's united Herself with Her Bridegroom, see, and the

Bridegroom is the Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and

the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us."

14

Regarding the warning below of Brother Branham to add not ONE WORD. We will agree

that playing tape is the MOST faithful ministry God provides for us and we should be

grateful.

just what the tape says. Don't say nothing else (See?), 'cause... I don't say that of my own.

« 187 So say I, in the Name of Jesus Christ! Don't you add one thing. Don't take, put your

own ideas in It. You just say what is said on those tapes. You just do exactly what the Lord

God has commanded to do. Don't add to It.

OPPOSITION TO TAPE MINISTRY

62-0211 ONENESS_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN V-10 N-2 SUNDAY_

231 Last night, coming plumb in from Kansas City, a little Polish brother standing back there, come,

led, said, "Brother Branham, since I first heard of you back yonder in Canada many years ago, the

things that you've seen and done, I've checked them right through, right back and forth, up and

down," and said, "not one of them has ever been wrong." He's probably a Polish Catholic, and here

he comes, taking the tapes, going out and playing them, meeting opposition. Ministers who

ought to be with me and helping us, but denying the Power thereof, denying the Truth of the Word,

and claiming to have the Holy Ghost.

60-0522E ADOPTION.4_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN AD.PT.4 SUNDAY_

« 226 † When I can see that happen, then me and mama can stagger in, me on my old cane,

some night, come down along the road, and I can look in there and see my boy standing there

anointed with the Holy Ghost, preaching this same Gospel. I want to take this old Book and say,

"Son, here It is; It's yours. You stand with It. Don't you compromise on one Word. You stay right with

It, honey. Don't you, don't care... I don't care who's against you, who's against; God will be for

you. You preach every Word just the way It's wrote in There; daddy will see you across the

river." I'd like to reach around and take her in my arms, my wife, and cross over Jordan….

OPPOSITION TO THE COPYRIGHT AND FRANCHISE

Several brethren are involved in business activities concerning the duplication, sale, translation of

recorded and printed sermons of the Message refuse to collaborate with Voice of God Recording

(See article HERE I STAND of Brother Joseph in the internet). May these scriptures help:

GENESIS 41:57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine

was so sore in all lands.

312 And the boatman come back. He said, "Tell you what you do." Said, "They love you. They

believe you. But," said, "if you try to cross in the power boat, they'll try to follow you in that canoe.

They'll both die, see." Said, "They can't follow you."

And I said, "Well, what must I do?"

313 And this boatman at the dock, he said, "You go back up there." Said, "There's only one little

storehouse in all this country, one little storehouse. And just lay in plenty of supply," said, "and

they'll stay here. They'll--they'll stay here while you are--while you are gone. But," said, "you'll have

to lay in supplies."

CAREFULL WITH SEDUCTION: FALSE MINISTERS WILL USE THE NAME OF BROTHER BRANHAM, HIS

MESSAGE TO MAKE THIER OWN FOLLOWERS BUT REJECTING THE KING

60-0515M THE.REJECTED.KING_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN V-2 N-23 SUNDAY_

« 90 † Then we find that the enemy set in, and he was going to come into a little bunch of

God's people and was going to pluck out the right eye of every man. That's what the enemy always

tries to do, is pluck out both eyes if he can, so that the people cannot see what they're doing. That's

what Satan tries to do today to every Christian: pluck out his spiritual sight, that he can only follow

the intellectual sense of things and not the sense of the Holy Spirit leading him.

So then when they did that, when the great defeat come, then Saul cut up two great ox and sent

them to all the people. And I wished you would notice here. When Saul sent the pieces of the ox to

all Israel and said, "Let every man that will not follow Samuel and Saul, let him, this ox be as this." Do

you see how deceitful he tried to represent Himself with the man of God? How--

how unchristian it was. The fear of the people was because of Samuel. But Saul got them all to

follow him, because that the people feared Samuel. "Let them come after Samuel

and Saul."

65-0829 SATAN'S.EDEN_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN V-2 N-20 SUNDAY_

108 The thing of it is, is, today we don't try to establish the Word of God in the people's hearts. We

are trying to establish ourselves. Churches are trying to establish the doctrine of the

church, in a person's heart.

65-0725M THE.ANOINTED.ONES.AT.THE.END.TIME_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN V-5 N-3 SUNDAY_

« 115 † But watch. Jesus said, that, in this end time, again, the two spirits would be real

close together again. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Now notice. It will be closer

than that was. This is the end time. Oh, children! God have mercy upon us! Till, "It would even be so

real till it would deceive the very Elected if possible." Now how you going, how did we tell it in them

days? How you going to tell it today? The same way, stay with the Word, "Jesus Christ the same

yesterday, today, and forever."

17

Now care all this Message. And when you listen to the tape, even maybe I'll be gone someday

when the Lord is finished with me here on earth, you'll refer back to this. Listen to my voice, what

I'm telling you. If He takes me before His Coming, just remember, I've spoke to you in the Name of

the Lord, by the Word of the Lord. Yes.

54-1003E JUBILEE.YEAR_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN V-26 N-6 SUNDAY_

« 120 † It's been that way through the Bible time. When Jannes and Jambres withstood

Moses, they could bring sores and boils, but they couldn't take them off. They could bring flies and

lice, but they couldn't take it away. For the Lord is the One Who heals the sick.

They can dance in the spirit. I've seen them a many a time. They can have all kinds of maneuvers, but

they cannot heal the sick, or they cannot live a Christian life. That's one thing they can't do.

And so it becomes an individual affair, with every man and every woman, is to see all these false

things. And the Bible said, that, "The two spirits would be so close in the last days, till it would

deceive the very Elect if it was possible." That's right. False christs, false spirit rising up, showing

signs, deceiving many... That's right. But, "My sheep know My Voice. A stranger they'll not

follow." Oh, what a day that we're living in. And the jubilee time's about closed.

GOD’S SELECTION: ONE OUT OF EACH MILLION

65-0424 ONE.IN.A.MILLION_ LOS.ANGELES.CA V-18 N-1 SATURDAY_

« 54 † When Israel left Egypt, there was approximately two million people left at the same

time. Every one of them heard the message of a prophet. Every one of them saw the Pillar of Fire.

Every one of them was baptized to Moses, in the Red Sea. Every one of them shouted in the--in the

Spirit, beat the tambourines and run up-and-down the bank, with Miriam, when Moses sang in the

Spirit. They, every one, drank from the same spiritual Rock. They, every one, eat fresh Manna every

night. Every one of them! But there was two made the land, one out of a million.

55 What was the test? They all drink in the same Rock, they all eat the same spiritual Manna as

we're eating this morning, but the Word test proved them. When it come to the time of Kadesh-

barnea, when they started over into the promised land, and they could not go over till they was

tested by the Word. And all the--the other ten came back, and said, "We can't make it! The people

are like... We're like grasshoppers, to them, their great walled city. The opposition is too

great."

56 But Joshua and Caleb stilled the people. They said, "We're more than able to do it!" Why?

God said, before they left, the promised land, "I've given you the land. I've give it to you. It's yours."

But there were one out of each million.

CONCLUSION

50-0716 BELIEVEST.THOU.THIS_ MINNEAPOLIS.MN SUNDAY_

« E-88 † Three years ago an Angel met me in the realms that are... in the room and

said, "If you get the people to believe you...

Brother Joseph is not pointed us to his own tapes or to any Ephesian 4 but to the one we

claim to be our prophet. This is perfectly right with the above quotes of the prophet. As he

encourages ministers to let their churches directly hear the VOICE of the prophet through

the tape ministry, the vision of the Bride is fulfilling because She was looking at the prophet:

« 193 † And I just started to bow my head, and He said, "Wait, the Bride must come

again."

And I looked, and here they come again. And they passed by, a sweet-looking little ladies.

They was all looking right at me, as they passed by.
