Letters From Prisoners

The mailbag is overflowing with letters from our brothers and sisters in prison. Here are a few excerpts of their letters from the hundreds we receive every month.

I read Brother Branham talk about the last predestinated seed, that after they came in we will go home. Well I believe he is setting over there, I am going to give him a book, so get ready.

At chapel Wednesdays we are allowed to read, quote or speak. I read a quotation from one of the Jubilee Messages. After service, four inmates asked for books, what a joy I had. I always longed for the day I could leave here and take the Message to the streets. Sometime we can’t see the forest because we are surrounded by trees. God always grants the desire of our heart.

One thing I cannot understand is how we got in this mess and why this Message is not on every TV and radio station? This is the only way out of this mess.

I am 41 now, serving 10 years. I have never been to a unit like this one, they talk about stuff I never heard about and spend quiet time reading their Bibles. Very strange, I thought. One of the sisters showed me their small pocket Bible they can carry and some books by Reverend Branham. They encouraged me, if I want to break the chains, to write you and asked for a Bible and books. I never held a Bible in my life, much less have one for my own, or any book for that matter. I would greatly appreciate it if you would send me a Bible and the teaching books. Perhaps there is hope.

I am at this county jail awaiting deporting. I asked for some Spanish religious books and they just look at me and smiled, “sorry nothing in this place.” A fellow inmate came up to me and gave me your address, said you can help me. He told me to ask for the seven seals. He told me the only books available are from you, they are the best, but do not expect anything easy, you guys have the name of being straight with the Bible, I can’t wait!

I have read the Bible for years, about 15 times through. In all those years of reading I have never made it through Revelations, till I received Brother Branham’s book on the Seals. Such insight, how could anyone not see the hand of God on our brother? This revelation could not have come from anywhere else. It shook me, because the answer was in the first line of Revelations all the time. This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

While I don’t understand it, I now know what it is. Praise His Name!

I have been receiving this Word of God for many years now and not only has there been a spiritual change in my life but also a physical change. Funny how when you get in the correct Spirit you start to clean up other areas of your life, things just look different. I could talk on that for a long time. But, I wanted to say I am ashamed. I looked at everything, the books, my prayer life, the love I now have, and I know this came at a price. Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price. Brother Branham sacrificed everything to bring this Message and now others are sacrificing to get the Message to me… I am sorry for taking it for granted, forgive me.

I have two years left, been here a long time. Became a born again Christian a little late, already did the deed but I continued to study my new life since. A friend gave me a couple transcripts of Rev. Branham’s sermons the other month and honestly I never read anything like this.

I am so ashamed that I had to be locked up away from everything in order for Jesus Christ to introduce Brother Branham to me. How wonderful is the Word of God.

WA

My son asked me to request some books for him by Mr. Branham. I don’t know who you are or what you do, I just know that you have changed my son and opened his eyes. I’ve never seen him like this, he is just so different. You are the only one that has helped my son. Thank you!

AZ

I wish to thank you for sending me the Word of God! These books are in high demand in this prison, and they should be as they are the gift of life to them that believe. I also want to thank you for not giving up as it seems most have. Once you are arrested and that door closes, you are alone, cut off and nobody wants anything to do with you. This Message has become the constant companion of many inmates and you never fail us when we ask. Sure some just want to past the time by reading, but as I heard Brother Branham say, your character is what you read. So after a few books you can see the changes taking place. These books have an impact!

I don’t know if you realize, I know I did not. A loved one gets arrested, perhaps sometime you mentioned Brother Branham to them or spoke to them about the Bible. You desire to do something to help them with the mess they are in, and can’t imagine sitting in that cell. You contact VGR, they send books right away. The thrill that stirs your heart when you hear from them that they received the books and are reading the Message. Then the day comes when they ask, “Have you read the Church Ages?” or another book, “did you know the Brother Branham said …” and you don’t remember, but it comes to you that now they are telling you about Brother Branham and the tears just roll out. Oh, thank our Lord.
