After the powerful morning message, Brother Branham returns to his tabernacle to preach another sermon that is dear to our hearts. Here are a few highlights from the second sermon that Brother Branham preached on this Sunday, 50 years ago: "Spiritual Food In Due Season."
1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
2 And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
5 So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
You say, “There’s nothing impossible with God.” You believe that? There’s nothing impossible with you, either. “For all things are possible to them,” (God is one Person) “to them that believe.” See? So there’s nothing impossible with you, for you, if you can only believe.
Now I’m going to type this great ministry, tonight, of Elijah and the time of Elijah, with the hour that we’re now in.
“There will come a famine in the land, and it won’t be for bread alone, but for the hearing of the Word of God.” And that day is now, “hearing the true Word of God.”
God said, “I have commanded the ravens and they’ll feed you.” What a wonderful thing, a type of our secret place in Christ.
And He said, “in the last days,” the things that He would do, and He’s doing it! It don’t need any interpretation; God is doing His Own interpretating. No matter what foolish man say, that doesn’t stop God a bit.
We find out that when a man comes, sent from God, ordained of God, with the true THUS SAITH THE LORD, the message and the messenger are one and the same.
The sick are healed, the dead are raised up, the cripples walk, the blind see, the Gospel goes forth in Its power, for the Message and the messenger are the same. The Word is in the Church, in the person.
And then when I seen Jesus with the white wig, I said it only vindicates the truth that we know, that He is the Supreme Authority.
That’s why today that they do not believe in doing the works of God, because they do not accept the Message of God. They don’t believe the Message.
And here He come, Glory of God falling in a whirlwind that tore the side of the mountain out like that, and blasted and shook the place like that, cut the top of the bushes out; just about three or four, five feet above my head. Went back up like a funnel like that; It blasted again. And, here It come, three times.
But thanks be to God, we got hidden Food, spiritual Food, that we’re living on the goodness and mercy of the revelation of Jesus Christ in these last days, vindicating Himself among His people.
So is it today, friends. So is it today, that the Bread of Life that the children eat on, follows the Message of God, to sustain them during the time of the drought.
Again, it makes the Message and the messenger as one. The spiritual Food is ready, and It’s in the season now. And each one of you can have this Food if you wish It, if you are willing to steal away from all of the unbelief of this hour, if you are ready to come into Christ, come into His promise.
And, Father, so is it today. The Church, the true believer, the Body of believers, has access to Food, spiritual Food, that the nominals know nothing about. The world knows nothing of this Food, Father. But Your Church, Your people, the Bride of Your Son, loves It.
