Letters From Prisoners

Yes, the prisoners definitely have a way with words, but some of them also have a way with colored pencils. Here is some recent artwork from our incarcerated friends, as well as a few excerpts from their letters.

If only the judge knew what was in store for me when he pronounced sentence on me. I did wrong and I admitted it but he wanted to make me an example, I pray he did. Little did I know when that door swung closed behind me that my life as I knew it was over. I was in the chow line a little guy nudged me and passed me a little book. I thought, “What is going on? If they see this, it’s solitary for a month.” I quickly hid it up my sleeve. I said, “What is this?” He just said, “He told me to give it to you.” “Who?” I asked, but he was gone. Returning to my room I saw it said “The Revelation of Jesus Christ.” Brothers, like I said, the judge never knew and I have a new life. It’s been two years now and you have always been there for me and He has been there, just a tugging on that string. I have never experienced true freedom like I now have. He is my everything, and you guys are my second best friends, next to my Lord Jesus Christ for you bring me His Word. If I had it to do over, you bet I would, I had to come here to learn the Truth. You know it is kind of strange how it works, but just ever so often there is that nudge, “Get a book, give it to that guy standing there,” I always do! God bless you!

A while ago I hear the guys around here talk of Brother Branham and Voice Of God Recordings and wondered what it was. I’m in my late 50s now and have been reading and studying the Bible for a number of years now. Something’s always bothered me, the Bible kind of says to do things one way but everyone seems to do something different. I was in the religion study and asked that question to the chaplain. He said to come to him after class. He asked, “What did you mean?” I said, “Like the miracles and stuff Paul and they did.” He just said, “Oh, I see...” He gave me a card. It had your name and address. I asked, “What’s this?” He said, “The door if you want to go through it.” Wow, now I am confused, what’s going on, send me what it is you have that makes sense of all this.

I received the books you sent and saw that they are free of charge. I read the booklets and wow, all I want is more. I looked over the list and how can you decide? I wanted one then the other one sounded good, and gee I want all of them! So send what you feel lead. I have to tell you we can get anything here, but Christian material is almost impossible to get. You are so appreciated here and that because of the material you’ve sent to this place. There has been a change in the environment and started a revival here. It took a long time but finally it’s turned and everyone notices.

There are things that happen to us that change our lives, but I never had anything touch and change my life like Brother Branham’s Message. I thought nobody had it harder than I did, things that happen in my childhood make your hair curl. Then I read the Life Story, I ended up crying and having to stop. What a hard life he had, made me ashamed of myself. I’ll never complain again, what he went through and he did it for me that I could receive this Message today and be able to worship Jesus Christ in Truth. Thank God for this special man.

Brother I received your address from the chaplain and he told to write you for the best material available. He seemed pretty excited about you guys and said that I would find there is nobody that has the Truth that you do and nobody more willing to help the inmates. God bless you for following the Word.

Never too late. After 44 years a friend left me a book he had by Mr. Branham. It was like I could see for the first time in my life. Clearly I could see my past and my wrongs. I fell to my knees and prayed to the Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness and for making Himself known to me. I know I will never be the same. Thank you Brother Branham and thank all that came to my aid. God bless you.

My mind is spinning and deep in my gut is a pain I never felt before. See it all started when a friend gave me a book by God’s Prophet. I am asking, no, begging, please send this broken-down prisoner some of this Life-giving waters from Brother Branham. I will be eternally grateful.

I offer a question, we all know the great evangelist and see them on TV and magazines etc. But nobody knows of Brother Branham the Prophet of today. All these guys have the answers and freely tell you how to live and give but what has come of it? You know there is a Truth when the talk gets serious and the Bibles come out, that when we hear about Brother Branham for he alone spoke right out of the Bible and that is why we here love him and long for the books.
