Letters From Prisoners

There are no phone calls or emails from our incarcerated friends. All of our communication is done through the US Postal Service, which means we get a lot of letters from prisoners. Every letter is answered, and every request for Message material or Bibles is filled. Here are a few excerpts of those letters from prisoners.

I have just finished reading The Greatest Battle again and it went right to the heart. I ask for prayer, the greatest thing, my desire, is to be filled with Jesus Christ’s Holy Spirit. That’s all. After that what can compare?

CO

I have just been released from prison. While an inmate I was fed the Word of God by Brother Branham. I wanted to extend my appreciation for providing and showing me the way of Jesus Christ. I am in Holy Communion daily and looking for the return of my Savior. I give thanks to the unknown thousands that made this all possible for me, and my Lord Jesus Christ for orchestrating it all for my soul.

NY

I am from Mexico and have been waiting deportation for a few years now. The brothers here have always told me to write to you for books but I kept putting it off till last month. I always wondered why I was placed here. I had a good job, no trouble, and since I’ve been here many have come and gone, some even came back. But I stay here. Well I’ve read the books, especially the Church Ages, now I know why I had to stay here. These are truly books of God! Please send me the book Desperation, and if you have an office in Mexico, I heard I am now leaving soon.

AL

A friend of mine shared a few books with me before he was transferred. I felt so lonely, I told God it’s just him and me now, what can I do. I started reading the Ages and get lost between the books and the current world news. This Message has it all, the Holy Spirit just pours off each page. Brother Branham, I know was no mere man, each word just shakes my heart.

TX

Brother Branham, I am from the islands and am serving a long term here. I have been studying very hard to be approved by the Lord. A few years ago a group came here and I studied with them and it all seem so simple, their explaining of the scriptures made sense. Then someone gave me your book on Seals. I thought something is very wrong here, then the Ages was given to me. About pg. 90 or so it hit me and I started thinking. I asked Jesus Christ to forgive me for adding to His Word, I was confused and feel like Pilate must have felt. Their study was in the Bible and I tried very hard to understand but your book seems like the Truth. Please, if they are wrong then I am so lost. I know you really have to study hard to find these truths. Please if you have any extra books on baptizing would you send me one? I trust your words. The others could show in the Bible but your words seem to be from the Bible.

I was confessing to one of the brothers at the chapel that I just never felt like I made a connection with God. I want to be right in my heart and serve the Lord. He told me to write to you and give me your address. I asked what do I sa? He said just say “help,” they will send you life changing books. I know nothing about this, all I know is that I am shaking with anticipation.

AZ

I’ve lived in AZ all my live, been an inmate for 20 years now, I’ll be 66 soon. Someone gave me your address a while back and you sent me some beautiful books. I’ve read those books over and over till I all but knew them by heart. I met another inmate and he asked me about reading material. I said I have these. We sat down and he started telling me about the books, he knew them from cover to cover and was surprised how much I knew. I saw his eyes were tearing and I asked him if he has a problem, he said yes. I asked what’s wrong, to my surprise he said, you have no idea what you have here. I said they are books about this man and his life, what he loved and what he tried to do. He said no they are not, this man is a Prophet of God and these are God’s words to us. I never knew, I never heard of prophets, I never had a Bible, nobody ever talked to me about it till now. I just started shaking and he said thank you Lord, you got it now. I don’t know what I got but please send me more books, I don’t know what’s happening to me but I am sure hungry now!

AZ

I am in the middle of a block with all Spanish speaking inmates. The other day one ran around from cell to cell, then about 5 of them started singing. I had no idea. I finally made it known that I wanted to know what was going on. He said something like, “de la Iglesia,” Ok… One fellow spoke broken English, so the one read from a book and the other tried to put it into English. If it was correct, I never heard anything like that before, then they started singing again. I got this address from the book. If you know what this is about please send me a copy in English please.

TX

I’ve been here three years now and another prisoner left me read one of your books called, Church Ages. I was overwhelmed by the power of this book and surprised that writing like this even existed. I am 58 years old and never knew anything about Revelations or about the coming of Christ. The prisoner has been transferred and took the book with him. He left me your address and said if I write I can have my own copy.
