Israel is working very hard, in an economic way, to make room for all these Russian immigrants that have been coming back. While at one time the census, I believe was a little over three million Jews in Russia, we do not have to believe that all three million have to go back to Israel…

There‌ ‌was‌ ‌no‌ ‌music‌ ‌inside‌ ‌the‌ ‌temple;‌ ‌and‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌not‌ ‌a‌ ‌large‌ ‌building.‌ ‌It‌ ‌did‌ ‌not‌ ‌need‌ ‌to‌ ‌be,‌ ‌since‌ ‌only‌ ‌the‌ ‌priest‌ ‌went‌ ‌inside‌ ‌it.‌ ‌As‌ ‌we‌ ‌said,‌ ‌the‌ ‌people‌ ‌congregated‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌outer‌ ‌court‌ ‌of‌ ‌it;‌ ‌and‌ ‌that‌ ‌is‌ ‌where‌ ‌they‌ ‌would‌ ‌sing,‌ ‌and‌ ‌praise‌ ‌Jehovah.‌ ‌I‌ ‌have‌ ‌read‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌writings‌…

We see things that are going on now, and it lets us know that we are in that time that we have been looking forward to. There are scriptures  being discussed and preached about; by men who might say I don’t know what I am talking about, but I have to say: They do know…

I have been on this message: this makes part 4, getting ready for the rapture. I started at the beginning of the week. It has had a great success. I know at the beginning of it as we began to put things on the internet, it reached South Africa…

“But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum, (The only thing that is still there is ruins. There was never another city built back. All you see there, is just ruins of days gone by.) which are exalted…

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” Now we get into something here…

Brother Allen was talking about the Moses and Elijah prophets that will prophesy in the street s of Jerusalem for three and a half years; and he was saying that they will not be preachers; but prophets, so we pick up right where he was saying: I believe that they are right now…

The saying is: Freedom is not free. It does cost something for us to really have freedom. This country has been a land of  freedom up until the last few years…

As I was talking this morning about a few things, it was a few weeks ago Farrakhan was on television, he was making a speech. He said we need to kill them that kill us…

Jesus said, I will come to you. That is the Spirit inside Him. Jesus is not out to meet everyone that prays, but the Comforter He said He would give is that Comforter: the Holy Ghost that we now have in us…

This is the last few words of July Issue. When you start out to be something you were not ordained to be, there is always a problem. You can always get followers. I am not after followers. I am after truth…

I have an illustration for you this morning. Turn in the songbook to page 336, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” If something does not sound right to you, sing anyway…

remember when America was not like that. You have seen the problem the Boy Scouts have faced lately. Well allow me to read you the words Bro. William Branham spoke. Listen carefully, as I read…

When we begin to read about the first church, the things that shall be hereafter, keep in mind, John lived in the Ephesian age, which was the first, and he did not carry over into the next age. What he was shown in visionary form, he wrote, and they were the things which shall be…

Just look at that no good King Herod. He was like the politicians we have in our society today. Let them hear of something that is biblically taking place on the earth and before very long they bring in commandos to tear up the place and destroy everything pertaining to the event…

As I speak to Jewish people, I want them to know this, I am not going to try to convert them to Christianity: At least that is not my reason for speaking to them. They have their God-given rights to live and worship as they choose, but we do want to share with them, something…

“Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, EVEN AS CHRIST ALSO LOVED THE CHURCH, and gave Himself for it; THAT HE MIGHT SANCTIFY and CLEANSE IT (How?) WITH THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD.”

The title of this message may sound strange, but if you followed along with us this far, I believe you can see that what we are dealing with really points to the necessity of us getting ourselves cleaned up, spiritually speaking. Your flesh can be perfectly clean, and your inner man be in bad need…

We are starting this message in Genesis and we will touch Revelation also before we are finished. Turn with me to Genesis chapter 1. The trinitarians have three scriptures here in Genesis they like to play on…

When you are dealing with one sovereign God, you are dealing with one sovereign mind that did all the designing Himself, all the planning, and everything. But when He brought the Son into existence, it is by the Son and through the Son, He has been redeeming and reconciling something back to Himself…

As we deal with this subject on how God reveals Himself, I pray that He will enable me to say these things in a way that young people can understand. Because if Jesus tarries His coming, you young people should be among those walking the earth…

We received a letter from a man, a minister that has been on the Contender mailing list for quite some time now. He was here on Sunday morning when I preached a message, and as I now look back over some of the notes the man sent, I realize that there are actually some things…

Luke came into the picture later on, but when he started his epistle, he said he had perfect understanding from those that had lived in the hour of Christ, and had walked with Him…

When you read certain passages of scriptures, they sound like God created all things by or through Jesus Christ. Therefore my main purpose in this portion of the message is to show you, or call your attention to what translators have done to the Bible, which is a real disservice…

Adam had a potential when God placed him in the garden of Eden with a commission and a command, he was to replenish the earth…

We will go to the 12th chapter of Hebrews for a text, and the title of our message is, “GOD TRIES US ALL.” Not because He does not like us, but because He does. He does not try us because He does not know what we will do, nor what we are; for He does…

THE TITLE FOR THIS MESSAGE CAME TO ME WHILE I WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW EVERYTHING IS RUN BY COMPUTERS IN OUR DAY, AND HOW THOSE COMPUTERS GET MESSED UP AT TIMES. ACTUALLY, COMPUTERS HAVE CREATED A LOT OF LAZY MINDS, TO THE POINT WHERE THOSE WHO PROGRAM THEM SEEM AT TIMES NOT ABLE EVEN TO…

Brothers and sisters, I pray that in our message today, we can say something that will help encourage you. Through the years of time there were many things spoken by the Old Testament prophets, prophesied here and there, and many of those things were prophesied in a certain setting that did not necessarily give you…

We have this chart I will be using as a point of illustration; and We are going to title this message, “Grace is the Better Covenant.” I have a certain reason for this title, because as we make this study through the scriptures, it is a fact that God called the seed of Abraham…

We have come through another year, and it has been a year of promise. We are looking to another year for a year of promise, but not as the government would like to make you think. How can a government really survive, that is so down on the little nation of Israel?

I know I have said some things that may seem hard to some, but as I said, I am not trying to make anybody feel uncomfortable, I just want us to be right in the sight of God. We are not just playing church: we are learning from the Word of God…

We can carry burdens, sometimes people will heap upon us until it becomes a health problem. There are people that like to see you go through things. I am not talking about saints of God, because they will stand with you…

God had a plan from the foundation of the world. It was not for the mighty or the strong. It was for those of faith, that would willingly follow the truth…

Today, as we are looking to the Lord for His love and grace, and for the kindness He shows us, let us be mindful, that the Bible says grow in grace. How do you do that? I thought grace was just grace. But Peter said to grow in grace, and he added something to that…

I have one scripture tonight, that I had Bro. David add on to this list. I thought of it this afternoon, but I did not know if it would be that easy to find, so I thought I would just quote it and go on from there….

You everyone know how the devil likes to bring up stuff. Well, you always accuse me, no, it is the devil accusing you of somebody letting them use them. I am so glad that God forgives and then forgets…

We are just continuing on with this grace message. Peter could have taken what Jesus said, the wrong way when Jesus said, “If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me,” but he didn’t. He acknowledged it. I have another scripture today. These things are not for our destruction…

THE SPIRITUAL CLOTHING OF THE BRIDE, FOOLISH VIRGINS AND THE JEW. WHEN AND HOW WAS THIS SPIRITUAL CLOTHING RECEIVED? WHAT MATERIAL DOES THE APOSTLE PAUL COMMAND THE CHURCH TO WEAR? WHAT PART DOES THE OVERCOMER PORTRAY IN THE BRIDE OF CHRIST?

I am going to be dealing with the gifts, but I first want to deal with the ministry today. In chapter 12 of 1st Corinthians, I will get to that later, but in this he lists the different gifts. When he listed them, he listed three of the ministry along with the gifts. He said…

My subject is the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. God does not make mistakes. It is we mortals that make mistakes, not God. He said it would rain upon the just and upon the unjust. We know the rain can bring forth many things. It brings forth growth…

When the pope was over there the other day, he called it Palestine. He stood on the other side of the wall there, which is the wailing wall, and standing on the other side of it, while he was on the Palestinian side, he called it Palestine…

The last days are what we are living in, we do not have another generation to be able to say this is the last generation coming up. No, it is already here. The scripture tells us, concerning the fig tree and the trees of the field, Luke 21, how it would be…

We are still on the same message, so let me say again, With the voice together shall they sing. This is referring to the God Called Ministry, but as I am talking, I am talking about all of us singing together, We sing together, and when we do, we lift up our voices together, that…

We praise the Lord for His wonderful goodness, for the things He has provided for us in the hour we are living in. I am continuing on this subject; . I have been on. because of the great interest that saints have expressed to me since I started on it…

FOLLOWING THE RESURRECTION, CHRIST APPEARED UNTO HIS DISCIPLES TO PRESENT HIS GREAT COMMISSION. WAS IT PRESENTED IN ONE SESSION OR DID IT REQUIRE MANY? WAS HE PRESENTING ONLY ONE COMMISSION OR SEVERAL? WHERE DID JESUS DECLARE THE FIRST PLACE THIS GOSPEL MUST BE FULFILLED? READ THE AMAZING STORY IN WHICH GOD HID THE TRUTH IN…

I HAVE CHOSEN THIS TITLE, BECAUSE I FEEL THAT WE SHOULD DEVOTE THE ENTIRE MESSAGE TO DEALING WITH THIS GREAT CONTROVERSY OVER WHETHER GOD IS ONE SPIRIT, TWO PERSONS, THREE PERSONS, OR A HALF DOZEN; AND WHETHER GOD IS A HE, OR A SHE.

WHEN IT COMES TO A REVELATION OF THE GODHEAD, AND HOW YOU ARE GOING TO HANDLE TRUTH. IT IS ONE THING TO KNOW THE TRUTH; BUT IT IS AN ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT THING, TO TAKE A STAND FOR THAT TRUTH IN THE FACE OF OPPOSITION AND PERSECUTION…

I WANT TO SPEAK ON SOMETHING IN THIS MESSAGE, THAT HAS BEEN ON MY HEART FOR A LONG TIME. I HAVE A GREAT DESIRE, THAT WITH THE HELP OF THE LORD, TO BE ABLE TO CLEAR THE MIND OF MANY WHO SEE IN THE SCRIPTURES, INSTANCES WHERE THE WRITER SPEAKS OF A MYSTERY…

God sent that man to turn a people back to His (God’s) Word, to become a supernatural Church; not a bunch of dead people, holding quotes, quotes, quotes. You who are called to be in the bride, are to be a reproduction of the same kind of people that knew what it was to talk…

There is going to be a live ministry as the headship of the Bride of Christ, and they are going to exalt Bro. William Branham in the proper way, respecting him and the things he preached, but this entire thing is going to come to its climax…

There is going to be gifts of the Spirit in the true Church of the living God; dreams, visions and all the rest of the gifts we read about in the New Testament. It is true right now, that God is working by His Spirit to get us separated from all the confusion of past…

When men will just take something Bro. William Branham said, and use it like some of them have, they present an image of total ignorance, spiritually speaking. Bro. William Branham had a right to read something out of a book and use it for a little illustration…

For the basis of our study today we are discussing one of Christ ‘s most profound and puzzling parables recorded in Matt. 13:36. Isn’t it strange that no other parable of this segment of seven recorded here ever puzzled the disciples as did this second one concerning the wheat and tares growing together.

In Matt. 13:36-41, Jesus has dispersed the multitude at the Sea of Galilee and entered into a house. His disciples puzzled over the parable of the tares In the field asked him to explain it…
