When we read the Bible, we are not just reading a history book as most people think. The things we read apply for today. Just like Jesus talking to the woman at the well; He told her the things she had done in the past, and she immediately recognized Him as a prophet.
As we read stories like that, we can place ourselves right into the pages of the Bible. We hear as Brother Branham brings people into the prayer line, tells them the secrets of their lives, then pronounces them healed. If we know the Bible, how could we not recognize him as a prophet?
And the same goes for today. If we hear Brother Branham speaking to people in the audience or prayer line, why can’t we apply that same thing to our lives? We can! And if you read this website very often, then you know that many people do.
Here is a testimony from a Canadian sister who found herself in the Word.
This happened to me about six months ago. I had trouble with my back for 2-3 years. One day, my friends and I were listening to the tape, "The Power Of The Devil" 55-1005. That night I had a strong backache and was praying to God to take my pain away.
And just then, I heard Brother Branham say:
Setting right back over here, the lady setting right back over there with her hands crossed like this, you got trouble with your back, haven't you, lady, and don't know what it is, isn't that true? Setting right on the end of the bench back there, raise up if that's true. Way back there at… That's right. God bless you. There's the Angel of God standing right by the woman. You got something wrong with your back, and you just don't know what it is. Isn't that right? If that's right, raise your hand. I can tell you one thing: it's gone from you now. You don't feel it now. If that's right, raise your hand back and forth. There it is. It's all gone. See, it turned light around the woman. Praise the Lord. Faith, believe it.
When I heard that, I was so shocked because Brother Branham described EXACTLY what my trouble was! I had trouble with my back for 2-3 years and knowing not what it was! And I was setting right on the end of the bench! You can be sure that I raised up when he told me so! I was sooo blessed that I could hardly stand on my feet. And I can surely say that From That Time, I got the victory!
God bless
Your sister in Christ,

Thank you, Sister. We were also encouraged to read that you were listening to a tape with your friends. With everything that you could have been doing that day, the Lord honored your willingness to give Him a little of your time.
