Right now, while God is here speaking with us in our hearts, He's in Africa; He's in Asia; He's in Europe; He's in England. Wherever believers are gathered together, there He is in the midst of them.
If you are reading this article on Sunday, August 24, then you can rest assured that there are thousands of believers around the world listening to this same sermon with you. Our Lord Jesus Christ is with every one of us!
Now that we have heard one Questions And Answers sermon, think about what questions you would ask the prophet. Jot them down on a piece of paper and see if he answers you either tonight or next weekend. It seems that almost always, the prophet will answer a form of the questions we have on our hearts.
In the opening minutes, Brother Branham references an article written on the Beatles, and has Brother Capps read it. Here is that article, originally published in the Aug 8-15, 1964 edition of the Saturday Evening Post, an American magazine that has been in publication for almost 200 years.
The only thing you can put your trust in is THUS SAITH THE LORD from the Bible. Now, Church, that is exactly where I have tried to keep you, my children. And if something happens to me and God takes me out of this earth, don't you never fail. Remember this with all your heart: stay with that Word. Don't you leave that Word. Anything contrary to It, leave it alone, no matter what it is. Then you know It's right. See?Here are a few highlights from the evening service at the Branham Tabernacle, Questions And Answers #2 .
Back to the Word, children, as fast as you know; don't you dare to leave It. You stay right with that Word.
And to you on the tape, here it is, sisters: If there is a question in it, don't do it.
That's the evidence of the Holy Ghost, when God reveals to you and you see it, THUS SAITH THE LORD and accept it.
And Christianity is not beauty on the outside; it's on the inside: of peace, quiet, adorn themselves in a peaceful, quiet spirit, which is a great price before the Lord. That's what we want to look for on women, and on men, and whoever it is.
Don't look back what you was; look what you're going to be. Paul said, "Forgetting those things which are in the past, I press towards the mark of the high calling."
Well, could you imagine a mother giving birth to a baby and not knowing it? She'd have to be unconscious not to know it. Neither can you receive the Holy Ghost without knowing it.
And you let one member of the family get nervous, it goes to the next member, and the next member, and the first thing you're all fussing and going on.
Right now, while God is here speaking with us in our hearts, He's in Africa; He's in Asia; He's in Europe; He's in England. Wherever believers are gathered together, there He is in the midst of them.
Jesus might not come for a hundred years yet. I don't know when He's coming. No man knows when He's coming. But I'm going to try to keep on preaching and doing everything I can till He does come. If He isn't here today, I'll be looking for Him tomorrow.
Well now, Jesus said, "Whosoever receive a prophet in the name of a prophet, receives a prophet's reward." A prophet's reward is to be a friend with the prophet. Whosoever receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, receives a righteous man's reward. Is that right? And if they want to know what a prophet's reward is, is to be a friend to the prophet. See? That's a reward. He's your friend.
Like the Shunammite woman, it might come in handy sometime. See? It did with her. See? Watch God's servants.
The church, the lukewarm, the anything outside of the elected Bride will go through the tribulation period.
I'm here to try to help you, because I love you. You're my children that I have begotten to Christ. I claim every one of you. I claim you tonight; I claim you all time; I always claim you and that--as my brother and sister. You're my children; I--I'm your father in the Gospel, not father as it would be a priest, I'm--I'm your father in the Gospel as Paul said there. I have begotten you to Christ, and now, I--I espouse you to Christ; that's engage you to Christ as a chaste virgin. Don't let me down. Don't let me down. You stay a chaste virgin.
"How will I do it, Brother Branham?" Stay right with the Word; live clean and pure; have nothing to do with the things of the world. If the love of it's in your heart, say, "Oh, Jesus, please take that away from me. I don't want to be like that."
I don't mean just to be some person that's--that's saying this. I--I mean to be a genuine believer. Believe Jesus Christ and live for Him every day. Don't do no evil.
