II TIMOTHY 1:9

  9    Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

 

II TIMOTHY 1:10

  10    But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

MALACHI 4:1

  1       For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

 

MALACHI 4:2

  2    But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

 

MALACHI 4:3

  3    And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do [this], saith the LORD of hosts.

 

MALACHI 4:4

  4       Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the statutes and judgments.

 

MALACHI 4:5

  5    Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

 

MALACHI 4:6

  6    And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

 

TEN.VIRGINS_  JEFF.IN  ROJC 425-492  SUNDAY_  60-1211M

  11    And I do believe in Divine healing; it's one of the great doctrines of the Bible. But Divine healing has more to it than just Divine healing. Divine healing only says that there is a God Who's coming again. What does Divine healing speak of? It's the earnest of our resurrection. If there's no Divine healing then there is no resurrection. See? And if there is no Holy Spirit now to baptize us, there is no Eternal Life in the world to come.

The Bible said, "This is the earnest of our salvation." And you know what the earnest is? Is the down payment. See? If you go down and pay each... Say you bought a farm; they wanted ten thousand dollars for it, and you paid two thousand, that's your "earnest money," they call it the earnest of it. Now, if this baptism of the Holy Spirit is just the earnest on what's coming, oh, what will it be when we--when we get the full price? It'll be glorious.

 

WILL.I.FIND.FAITH.WHEN.I.RETURN_  LA.CA  TUESDAY_  51-0508

  E-36    While we're groaning, veiled in this tabernacle of humiliation, we have the earnest of our perfect, complete redemption back like we was in the beginning when God created Adam in the garden of Eden. We have a foretaste of glory divine by the baptism of the Holy Ghost, the refreshment coming from the Presence of God to water the Church to make it grow in grace. And when we're sick we have redemption, the blessing, the attributes of the death of Christ. Divine healing as a fore-sign to us that someday this mortal will take on immortality. Yes, sir. Amen, Oh, my, marvelous. He's here to do it. Glory.

 

SIMEON.AND.ANNA_  SAN.JUAN.PR  WEDNESDAY_  59-0211

  E-24    Let us bow our heads. Before we pray, I would like to know while you have your heads bowed in prayer, how many would say by an uplifted hand, "Brother Branham, remember me in prayer." Raise your hands. My, thousands.

O Lord, we are all earthbound people. We got our faces turned towards the dust from which You taken us. And someday we will return to that dust if Jesus tarries. But O God, give into our hearts, Eternal Life. And someday when Jesus comes, though we be dust, when the Son of righteousness rises with healing in His wings, this mortal will take on immortality, and we shall be resurrected, and caught up to meet Him in the air. Each one of those hands, give them Eternal Life, for we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

 

WHAT.HOLY.GHOST.WAS.GIVEN.FOR_  JEFF.IN  V-4 N-3  THURSDAY_  59-1217

  142    I can hear the water splash yonder on the Ohio River. When I was a little old boy preacher about twenty-two years old, singing that there, and I heard... Looked up above me and heard a Voice, said, "Look up." Here comes that big Light hanging right yonder, come moving down over me and said, "As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ, you'll have a Message that'll forerun the second coming of Christ." Oh, how could I believe it? But it happened just the same. And tonight revival fires are burning around and around the world. The great ransomed Church of God lifted Herself out of that place. And great campaigns of healing, and signs, and wonders, and miracles, showing forth the coming.

 

ABSOLUTE.THE_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-18  SUNDAY_  62-1230M

  35-3    Oh, and I remember when He swept down there in that big Light, standing yonder at the bottom of the river, 1933, in June, when He said, "As--as John the Baptist was sent forth and forerun the first coming of Christ, I send you with a Message to the world to forerun the second coming of Christ." And around the world she's went, when revival fires had been built for fifteen years on nearly every mountain...?... Divine healing across the nations, and the power, and restoration... And now, I believe she's ready to strike that final climax yonder to bring forth a faith that'll rapture the Church into glory (It's the truth.), and She's laying in the Messages. We're really at the end time. We've talked about it and everything, but the thing has moved upon us now. Hear them. Yes, sir. Here's one. That's right.

 

PARADOX.A_  PHOENIX.AZ  V-19 N-1  SUNDAY_  65-0117

  17    Now, Billy has probably give out some prayer cards, which I think he... Yeah, I told him to. And I believe he told me awhile ago, that he had. Somewhere along there, I'll call a few to the prayer line after while to be prayed for. And if your card's not called--if--if it is called, rather, and you're not sure that God is the Healer and He's going heal you, it won't do no good to come up here, because you won't be healed. You... If there's one question... If you'd say, "Well, now, if there's something in my life, I really ought to straighten this up," you go make that right first, and then come back to the prayer line. See?

Because healing is the children's bread. We realize that. It's in the atonement, and the atonement first is applied to our souls. And healing has always forerun every message, and it's also been a means to gather people together. And it's a...

Many people will sponsor a healing meeting; many will come to a healing meeting, or to a song festival, but when it comes to a poor lost soul to get saved, there's not many people interested in that. They just... But that's the main thing. Divine healing and singing festivals, and so forth, is just a... As Brother Bosworth used to say, "It's the bait on the hook." And you show the fish the bait, not the hook.

 

 

PARADOX.A_  PHOENIX.AZ  V-19 N-1  SUNDAY_  65-0117

  20    And that's just the thing to get the people to listen a while, till you can really present to them your message. God has did that in every age; through every age, there's always been a healing campaign. And if it's a genuine healing campaign, behind that campaign always is a message. There never is a sign given just for a sign; it's forerunning a message.

And I believe the same thing is, seventeen years ago, or eighteen years now, that the Lord sent me out to start praying for the sick. It made a great revival among the people. Many great servants of God has went forth in healing campaigns, and... But the healing campaigns, in itself, if you still stay in the same old trend of what you've always was, there's something wrong; that healing campaign wasn't sent from God. It's got to attract attention first (See?), get the attention, and then there's a message.

 

Jesus, when He came forth, healing the sick, and so forth, He was a great Prophet to all of them. But when He begin to tell them the Truth of the Gospel, Who He was and what He come for, then He was--He was not popular after that. And that's the way it's always been through every age, and it will continue that way.

 

WEDDING.SUPPER_  CHICAGO.IL  SATURDAY_  56-1006

  E-28    Now, then the--the servant come back and said, "Lord..." That was down from Luther on down to Wesley age. All kinds of excuses made. "Oh, well, we got other things to do."

But then, when the servant come back and said, "I done all this and they got all excuses." Watch what he said to the preacher now.

"Supper's already fixed." Amen. It's already past time. Said, "I want you to give the supper call now. Leave them alone, they won't come anyhow."

But go out and start a healing campaign. Bring in the lame, the blind, the halt. And everybody hollers today about healing campaigns to get a crowd. "What's the matter with you, preacher?" That's the light of the Bible. That's right. "Go, get the lame and the halt." That's the last call before the coming of the Lord according to the Bible. Go out and call a healing campaign. Miracles and signs and wonders will be done. And bring them in 'cause I'm--I'm going to have My table set full." Amen. "I've made it. I've killed My fatlings. I'm going to have a real supper and you go out and bring in the lame, the halt, the blind, the afflicted." Brother, that's a meal call.

Divine healing is the program of today. That's God's last call, is Divine healing. And then these fellows that wouldn't accept it and set back with their big old dry theology, tries to say that we put Divine healing in the paper to get a crowd. Jesus said to. Amen. Oh, that would make a Baptist shout if he had the same thing. That's right. Divine healing is the order of the day.

 

IS.YOUR.LIFE.WORTHY_  JEFF.IN  V-5 N-5  SUNDAY_  63-0630E

  32    Now, did you notice, there was three pulls or three turns of it when they went out first and called to them that were bidden to come, and they didn't do it. So there went out a healing campaign, went out to get the blind and halt. And still there were room, so he went out and compelled the good, bad, and indifferent that they should come in.

Now, you read another parable of this, something on the order of it, in Matthew 22:1-10, if you'd like to read it later on. But I--I drew this subject from there: "Is Your Life Worthy of the Gospel?"

 

SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW_  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-22  SUNDAY_  63-1110M

  41-2    The first three; three is perfection. That's when the ministry went forth. The Second Pull was the discernment of spirits of prophecy. First was the healing of the sick; the second was the prophecy that went forth, that knowed the secret of the thoughts, when the Word Itself was made manifest, which, that's grace. But remember, the seventh is the finish. Could this be the finish pull? It's all over. Could it be? Think of it now. Just think where you're at. See? Seven is always the finish--Three Pulls.

 

SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW_  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-22  SUNDAY_  63-1110M

  41-3    Jesus' ministry consisted of three pulls. Did you know that? Notice. Be sincere if you ever was in your life now for a minute, few minutes. His First Pull was healing the sick. He become a very popular Man. Everybody believed Him, seemed like. Is that right? When He went forth healing the sick, everybody wanted Him in their church, but one day He turned around and started prophesying, for He was the Word. And He was the Prophet that Moses spoke of.

And when He went to tell them, and telling how they was living and the things they were doing, He become very unpopular. That was His Second Pull. I wonder if it has typed right back again? Just think a minute. Could it be? The first, healing everybody, the second... Oh, "It could be Jesus Only. It could be Beelzebub; it could be..." That's the same thing they did there. See? Same spirits living in the same kind of people, condemned people that could never be saved because they were condemned before... They...

 

ANOINTED.ONES.AT.END.TIME_  JEFF.IN  V-5 N-3  SUNDAY_  65-0725M

  262    Notice the very day when this messenger, not when he starts on the, but when he begins to declare his Message. See? The First Pull, healing; Second Pull, prophesying; Third Pull, the opening of the Word, the mysteries revealed. No more... There's no more higher order to reveal the Word than prophets. But the only way the prophet can be a-vindicated is by the Word. And remember the Third Pull was the opening of them Seven Seals to reveal the hidden Truth that's been sealed in the Word. Do you see it? It is then, in that day when this thing is to take place that Jannes and Jambres, the impersonators, will appear again, just like they did when Moses appeared with the original Word to say it; they appear to impersonate it. Just exactly right. Now, you see what Matthew 24:24 is? See? Anointed ones.
