God has a sense of humor, and so do His people. Here are a few smiles from your brothers and sisters.
You say, "Now, Brother Branham, we're sure that you're a soothsayer now." Just a loophole. I said, "Brother, any man that would put that kind of an intelligence in a grasshopper, he'd jump backwards." I said, "Let me tell you something. You don't know no more about God than that." I said, "No more than a Hottentot would know about a Egyptian night."
Brother Branham (54-1204)
While I was reading the testimony about the college student who has his room under the TV lounge, I remember when God answered a prayer for me regarding my parents’ TV. My dad was into murder and horror movies. All my life I have never enjoyed that scary stuff at all, and part of me can't stand to hear or see it. It grated hard against me. I prayed that the bulb in that TV would break. One day I heard Dad say the bulb broke. In less than half a year's time it broke twice. Dad said he couldn't understand it. When I stopped praying for it to break then it stopped breaking. Even better, he stopped watching murder movies so much. I pray that God changes their desires from watching some of the other things they watch on TV too.

Yes, God does have a sense of humor. I am a housekeeper and I usually pick up my grandkids in the afternoon. I was running a little late, and knew I was not going to get done with ironing in time to get them from the bus, so I said a little prayer and asked the Lord to help me. Well, I saw there was just no way at all I could make it on time, so I kinda gave up. But as I was finishing and putting the clothes away, I realized by another clock that it was daylight savings time and I had extra time. Just made me smile.

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine...
King Solomon, Proverbs 17:22
These smiles remind me of an old neighbor I had, “Dee Dee.” She was living with a man who was not her husband, and wasn’t exactly someone I wanted my children around. One day we were leaving our house, and she was outside. My daughter said, “Dee Dee stands for Dumb Dog.” I said, “I don’t want to hear you say that again! Where did you hear something like that?” She smiled and responded, “Brother Branham.” So I looked it up, and sure enough,
"I'm Doctor Ph.D.. My pastor is a..." What does that mean, anyhow? "D.D." you say... In the Bible D.D. means "dumb dog" And I don't think it's changed very much since then. That's right. Brother, what--we don't need D.D. We need a Holy Ghost experience in the church of the living God.

Or it was little Joseph, he said, "Daddy, is there such a thing as a witch?" I said, "Oh, sure." He said, "Does she have a long nose, and she rides on a broom at nighttime?" I said, "No. She has a painted face and rides in a Cadillac to a--a cocktail party." That's the new modern version of it. And he said, "Is that a witch?" I don't know whether I should've told him that or not, because every time on the street he sees one, he says, "Daddy, there's a witch, isn't it?"

I was reading my Bible one day, and God really Smiled upon me. Most of us that text or email know about the smiley face :) When we see it we just know what it means. I was reading Ephesians Chapter 2 on my lunch break at work. It was so sweet to me because I just recently heard the Jubilee message "The God Who Is Rich In Mercy" where Brother Branham takes his text. When I got to verse 5 it reads like this: Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) I immediately saw the smiley face with a wink ;) I felt His presence, I knew He had smiled on me, I am saved! and it is by His unmerited Grace, the God Who Is Rich In Mercy! Amen, So Be it.

I'm a university student, and I was staying in an apartment where I resided on the ground floor and the other college students were staying upstairs. Now every weekend, the students staying upstairs would be drinking and partying with their girlfriends and playing loud music. I never at one time went to confront them, but rather when I failed to sleep because of the loud noise, I always went down on my knees and prayed for them that God forgives them and makes them stop making noise. I knew that trying to confront the students whilst they’re drunk would be waste of time, and actually they could hurl insults back at you. So the noise continued for almost two months. Then just a few weeks ago, I was informed that the university students (staying upstairs) were expelled from residing in university accommodation. They were given warning letters weekly the past two months that they should not disturb other students, but they never complied to the requests till the university said enough is enough, and they got expelled. Now for me, I believed God had made a way for me by removing the students from the premises. I can now sleep without having to hear any loud music or drunk and screaming students.

As I'm typing this to share this, I'm with my wife and baby at the Emergency Room). There was a patient that sat down kind of near us and he was playing worldly music (rap) from his phone I assume. I had sent a group text to some believers to pray for my wife and a sister had suggested listening to prayers lines. So then I down loaded a prayer line from the Table app (The Table app is such a God send!). And at first, when I the prayer line was going on the patient left briefly. He then return to a different seat and the music of his was playing. I began praying to the Lord to turn or shut he music off. What was amazing is that someone had asked the patient to turn his music off, but we weren't asked to lower the volume on the prayer line!

The Lord knew that in this day we are living in, sometimes the believers can forget to bring their Bible, but they would not forget to bring their cellphones by any means. This is why Brother Joseph felt inspired to do this (microSD card and Table app) and have absolutely no excuse for not having a closer communion with Him. This will not take the believers from the churches but, on the contrary, it will make the believers to hunger more in desperation for a new service.

This morning I met a fine Lutheran brother, and I forget what his name was at this time. He spoke for us awhile this morning, a very fine man. He assured all the people that this big Lutheran church down there had plush seats if anybody would like to sleep, come on down. That's a--that is that slept during time of church.

You know it just struck me while reading the below article how that most businesses and companies have a disclaimer that "Acts of God" are not covered by their policies and you are on your own if you lose or have your valuables destroyed. Well VOGR is replacing the lost or damaged materials they supplied (micro SD, message materials) free of charge to the believers who lost them in the Vanuatu cyclone incident. This just struck me as profound this morning. God bless you all.

What man is he, that don't appreciate a woman, let her be as ugly as a fence, made of mud and daubed with tadpoles. Let her be as ugly as she may be, but let her be lady and character enough to stand for the woman morals. Any man that comes along will take off his hat to her, if he's got an ounce of man in him.

You preach to them like that, they just set like a wart on a pickle, just as sour and cold as they can be.
