494-4 22. Would the Bride of Christ have... Would the Bride of Christ have a ministry before the
rapture? Sure. That's what's
going on right now. See? The Bride of
Christ... Certainly. It is the
Message of the hour (See?), the Bride of Christ. Sure, She's consist of apostles, prophets,
teachers, evangelists, and pastors. Is that right? That's the Bride of
Christ. Sure, She's got a ministry, great ministry; it's the ministry of
the hour; it'll be so humble...

And
will every true believer do the works that Jesus
said, as stated in St. John 14:12 (Not
exactly. No.): heal the sick, cast out devils, raise the dead (I
don't think that's in St. John 14, but it's all right. It's Mark 16.), or--or
are--is this only to be Elijah? Must the believer do all that--of this--do
really--that really believe? And if he really is a real believer, will he raise
the dead and do great miracles?
Now, that is among the believers. See? Every man doesn't have those gifts, and don't mean that just
one person will do it; there'll be groups of people. Like for instance, what
if--if we had a little girl here in the church, or a little boy, or somebody
that we love real well, and life would go out of them. The whole church would
get together, and they'd go to pray and fasting: "Lord, have mercy on that
child." See? God could raise it up.
How
many ever read the Nicene Fathers and them? You know, that's the way they did
it in the early church. They'd all get together, you know, and even raise up
their pastor sometime and different ones like that, if God seen fit to do it;
but they did it.
QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS JEFF.IN
COD 64-0823M
Will the Bride--will the Bride before
Jesus comes, will she have all power of Holy Ghost to perform miracles, raise
dead, and so on, as in the latter rain--or is this the latter rain for the
144,000 Jews? Will all ministers have this, are we--or are we just waiting for
the coming?
…And
what was the last sign they had before that promised son that they'd waited on
all these years re--come back? Was God standing in the form of a Man and could
discern the thoughts that was in Sarah's heart (Sarah being the church, representing
the church)--discern the thoughts that's in the church that was even behind
Him. Is that right? And immediately after that, she changed back to a young
woman and him a young man; and Isaac was brought on the scene, the promised
son. I believe you're seeing the last thing that'll happen to the church
before the rapture. That's exactly. I believe it. The rain is over. Just
read the first three chapters of Revelations and you'll see what's promised to
the church. That's what's promised, church, right there--the church ages. You
noticed the other day when we started them trumpets, the Holy Spirit said,
"That don't belong here." See, see?
Now,
latter rain, 144,000 Jews, no, that isn't--that--they won't--that's--that's
when Elijah and Moses... There's where the miracles take place. The things that the people's been looking for, the
Pentecostals, for miracles, that's where that'll take place in that--under
them. See, that's Elijah's and Moses'. They smite the earth with
curses as oft they will; they close
the heavens that it
don't rain in the days of their prophecy.
And God will stand and fight for them like He did, and He'll bring them out
under a mighty hand just exactly like He did in Egypt (See?), out of these
"isms" of the world. And He'll do that, but that is not...
We're
just to wait on the coming of the Lord. Just wait; keep your lamps trimmed, all
filled full of oil. Pray up every hour, not every day, every hour. Just keep
ready…
QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS JEFF.IN
COD 64-0830M
Will
there be a move of the Holy Spirit, signs, and wonders, and miracles done by
the Bride before she goes away, or are we just waiting for His appearing?
.…Let's
see. "Will the--the..." No. This question here is this: "Will there be miracles done by the Bride?"
Yes, sir. It's
being done right now. That's right. See? But don't look for something that
great--or bring the heavens and close the heavens, it rain not. That
goes into the--the Jews now. See? That doesn't pertain to this at all; that's
Moses and Elijah to the Jews, not to this church at all. Read the first three
chapters of Revelations; you get what the church is right there. That's all to
the church. And when she comes back with the Bride, when she comes back and...
Read... If you want to know about the church, what pertains to it, read
Revelations the first three chapters, and then go over to the 19th chapter and
start reading from there (See?), you get the Bride. The rest of it is in the
Jews there.

219 But
now is the Bride-calling; now's when the Seven Seals has been opened; now
when the complete things that the reformers left has to be opened; and only Malachi 4 can do that,
because it takes the revelation straight from God to an individual to do so.
That's right. It can't come to a group, never did: one man. That's what God promised in the shadows of the coming
for His Bride, an Eliezer.

74 Every one of us born into the world... Like I
was telling you this morning, nobody was daresn't to follow Moses in there. God
never did deal with two, He deals with one
always. No one would daresn't impersonate Moses; it was death, natural
death to try to impersonate him, to go in that Pillar of Fire with him. So
people are not all made--you're not borned in that way to break out into
that supernatural, but God set some on the earth to represent Him as an
ambassador from Him. And that ambassador is ordained of God to go
into the great, unknown supernatural, and discern, and bring out things
that the natural mind cannot perceive it. It brings out the mystery of God, foretells things that is, and
things that has been and things that will be. What is it? God, God behind skins, human skin! Exactly
right!

154 Then if He is in you, it's not you any
more living; it's Him living in you. See? It's not your thinking and what you
would think about this; it's what He said about this. See? Then if He is in
you, He absolutely would not deny what He said. He couldn't do it. But He would
keep what He has said, and He's trying to find that person that He can
vindicate Himself through. Now, that doesn't mean He has to do it to
everybody. In the time that Moses led the children of Israel, there was
one: that was Moses. The rest of them
just followed the message.

160 Now, the little--humble little Bride of

whoever She is; it's individuals. And I hope that myself and every one of
you all are part of that Bride. …all
that's been ordained to that will be that, 'cause it's their nature. … the Word can only recognize the Word.
It can't recognize a denomination or a perversion. It knows better; It's a
Word. See? It can't recognize nothing... A wheat can't be nothing but a wheat.
It started a wheat, it'll head up a wheat. And a weed can never be a wheat, yet
it's watered by the same anointing.

And now, we become anointed with
that same Spirit, anointed messiahs, messiahs of the last day to shine
forth the resurrection of Jesus Christ, to show that He is not dead; but in the
form of the Holy Ghost He's in His people, moving among His Bride with a love
affair to Her, pouring out into Her, Himself. They are becoming one for the
wedding supper; and the same signs, promised by the same God, in the same Word,
is making His same manifestation. There's
nothing left for us to do but believe It, and "believe it" is the
substance, and that creates a perfect faith.

everything, but the thing has moved upon us now. Hear them!
…the life that was in Christ that cries out
better things than any... It speaks, and it speaks loud. It's the Holy Spirit.
It speaks plain. It tells us that the time is here, when we see it. For it said
it would say it. And then we see it come back, and identify what it said. There's
nothing else left but to believe it (that's right), to receive it.

E-32 The life that was
in the blood could not come on the worshipper because, well, it was the
animal's life. It was only a shadow, coming up to the real life. Then the
chemistry, the blood itself, had to be red upon the door and the post of the
door, applied by hyssop, which is just a common weed--showing that you don't have to have some
super-faith. You just have to have the same... the faith you
got, like you have to start your car, come to church. See? A lot of people
think they got to be something... But no, no. That's wrong. Just common faith
is all you have to apply the blood by. Hear the Word,
believe the Word, apply it. That's all
TOKEN.THE BAKF.CA
V-22 N-8 64-0208
14 The blood tonight is applied by simple
faith, just not nothing supernatural. It's right around you everywhere.
Just simply like a child, reach out and get ahold of it, and apply the
blood. The hyssop is just a simple
childlike faith for the believer. It isn't something out of your reach. You
don't have to reach very far to get it.
This hyssop that grows in that country, it grows out of the cracks of
the walls--a little, kind of a diamond-shaped leaf. You can pick it up
anywhere, just as grass, or weeds would be, and in the country here now. Just
pick it up, apply it, put it on the door.
That's the way faith is to be applied. Take faith rather, and apply the
blood of Jesus Christ by faith to the heart's door. This was going to separate, and make the difference between those who
were going out of Egypt, and those who were going to stay in Egypt and perish
with Egypt. It made the difference.

273 Everyone, they was always come to me, said,
"Brother Branham, them seven thunders that the voice thundered, and he
said `Write it not (See?), but close it up,'" said, "that'll be
seven thunders that will be revealed in the last days? See, seven thunders
that'll tell us?" Now, don't that sound real good? See? But watch what
you're talking about when you say that. He said, "See that you write it
not." See? These seven thunders uttered their voices (See?), and He said,
"Don't write that (See?), but It's to be sealed up in the Book until the
last day."
Now, someone has been, many has been saying to me,
and theologians said, "Brother Branham, if the Lord God..." Said,
"If--if with your experience that the Lord has given you for His
people," humbly saying this, said, "you'd be eligible to write a--a
Bible yourself, your Word that God has manifested."
I said, "That might be true." See, he was
trying to catch me. See? And I said, "But, you see, I couldn't do
that." He said, "Why couldn't? You have all the qualifications."
I said, "But, you look, one word cannot be
added or taken away." See?
And he said, "Well then, them seven
thunders (You see?)," said, "wouldn't them seven thunders blasting
out, won't that be a revelation be give to some man?"
I said, "No, sir, it would be adding something
to It or taking something from It." It's all revealed in there, and the
seven seals opened up the revelation of what that was. See?
He's still in the Word. You see, you can't get out
of that Word. It won't leave the Word. And God's Spirit will never leave that
Word. It'll stay right with the Word, blinding some and open the eyes of
others. It'll always do that.

"Well, now, someday the Lord, probably you seeing visions, Brother Branham, will reveal to you what these things are; we can all get closer to
God and have more power than
we get in speaking in tongues and things."
I said, "It can't be that way."
'Cause, see, I believe the Word to be the Truth. And
the Bible said, "Whosoever shall add one word or take one Word from
It." It has to be in this Word. See? It's the

The prophet Paul said, "In the last days the people would be heady,
high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; truce breakers, false
accusers, incontinent, and despisers of those that are good. (Heady,
high-minded. See?), having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof;
from such turn away; for this is the kind that goes from house to house and
leads silly women laden away with divers lust (with shorts and bobbed hair, and
everything else)--led away with divers lust," and say, "It's all
right. Ah, they're crazy out there. Don't pay no..." See? Never able to
come to the knowledge of the Truth.
And these men resisted it as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses:
Able to produce a church and produce a group of people just as... But their
folly will be made manifest when Jesus takes His Bride
and sets Her up here and says, "This is Her," and away He goes with
Her. That's right. Their folly will be made known.
Look it. Having the revelation of this secret made known to them
by His grace.
