The Following are Excerpts
From
Several Sermons
of
William Branham
Jan 1, 1956
He told the Church about making a decision in December to quit going on the road and holding meetings. The
expenses were not being met. “Then God showed me a vision And I said, "When is the offering more important than souls
before Christ?" See? “
(Editor’s
note) This was the beginning of the end of William Branham’s Ministry.
He Told the Church about having the Tent vision right after that. He said: “And I seen that
Light, that all‑‑they have the picture of, you know, that's always in the
meetings; I seen that Light leave me”.
The Angel told him this was the start of the third pull. The Angel said, "It will not be a public show this time."
Feb 19, 1956 (He was talking about a vision he had before
the Tent vision in December.)
“It was the same Angel of God that's always spoke to me”. He said,
"You've done just what I told you not to do, standing on the
platform, and trying to explain it, and telling the people, and I told you to
keep it to yourself." Then he spoke of a tent they were planning to get as
a result of the vision.
Prior to He said that he spoke
the life back into a fish
June 1957
June 20, 1958
He said the Holy Spirit told him to stop the meetings and go into
the hills till he told him how to conduct the meetings under the new ministry.
He said: “But I want first, after the message is over, till I'm assure that the
Angel of the Lord is here before, and anointing, before I pray for your
handkerchiefs”.
(Note)
Throughout 1957 & 1958 he spoke a lot about the new ministry
the Lord showed him in the Tent vision. He tried praying for the people in a
room in the church hoping the new ministry would start.
1957/ 1958
William Branham said that he received the Covered Wagon Vision.
Oct 10, 1959 He said
that he spoke some squirrels into existence.
Nov 7, 1959 He said that he spoke the Word for the
salvation of Hattie Wright’s sons.
Nov 15, 1959
He told about going hunting on Oct 10th and speaking squirrels into existence. Told
about Hattie Wright’s request being given her on Nov 7th.
He told about the changing of his ministry and about speaking life
back into a small fish. (Prior to June 1957) (This appeared to be before the
squirrels)
William Branham said: Now, when the anointing strikes, "Ask what
you will. I have a perfect assurance that when that strikes, and whatever
God puts to be asked, it'll be just exactly that way. It has to be. For, if you
say to this mount...See, it isn't you speaking. It isn't you; It's God. It's
you so‑‑so submitted to God.”
William Branham said: “There’s a new ministry coming. It’s already
confirmed. I don’t know when it will start.”
April 17, 1960
WMB said: “In a vision a few days ago, the Lord Jesus came into my
room and said my new ministry has already been confirmed to me.
He said you have to accept it
by faith and believe it.”
WMB said: “I'm afraid of
defeat. Anything, I'm afraid I'll bring a reproach. I'm always
afraid of it, watching, think I'll call the wrong thing. 'Cause, I've
took warning of the Bible, how that Moses was given great power, and he
smote the rock instead of speaking to it”.
WMB said:
“I remember my commission, I was born to pray for sick people. Get them to
believe, and be sincere when you pray.”
July 20, 1960
WMB said: “there is a new ministry coming ahead
for me. And I, perhaps, I hope that it will start here. However, I'm going to
try with all my heart to pray for the sick the way He told me to in this
meeting. Said: then I‑‑I'd better go back to the old ministry tonight, and
then have the new ministry start tomorrow evening.”
July 22, 1960
WMB Said: “Now, the new ministry is to curse
the disease that's in there I'll just speak the word. And it
brings... It puts it right back into the lap of the people again. If they
will come with the right attitude and believe, it's just got to happen.”
Sept 11, 1960
William Branham recounts what he believed was his commission from God:
I charge you before God, and the elect Angels, and Jesus Christ;
the commission was, "Pray for the sick." The question was
insufficient to do it. "For this cause you were born; this is the means of
your peculiar birth and life, that you are to pray for the sick. If you'll get
them to believe you, and be sincere when you pray, nothing shall stand before
your prayer, not even to cancer." How many has read that through the
years? It's all over the world.
There's the new ministry. It's just been revealed to me.
"Pray for the sick. Get the people to believe you." “God can
never leave that. That's His commission; no matter what goes on, how
much I fail. I fail miserably. I
should've never went ahead with them signs; that wasn't the will of God”.
Dec 11, 1960
Would this man that’s coming just be a preacher, then?" Elijah done all miracles, no preaching.
But when his Spirit was upon John, It done all
preaching and no miracles.”
“Now, the star, or angel, or messenger of this church age
(Laodicean), is unknown. And in the‑‑this Laodicean, we don't know yet, and
probably won't know until it's all over.”
Jan 12, 1961
WMB said: “But let me say this, that there will come‑‑there will come a message, and there will
come a messenger. I believe that if it's to be a man, it‑‑it'll be somebody after
me.”
“Now, if you'll notice, and I... Little Willie out there put my
name under that star out there, and that's the reason I passed it over (You
see?), 'cause I‑‑I don't think..Now, I'm going to be honest as I can be. I
don't think I'd have anything to do with that messenger. See? That's right.
I believe that I'm maybe being sent for a part, this church, to help
build that message up to a place to where it would when this forerunner comes, that he
will come.”
Jan 17, 1961
WMB said: “when this Elijah comes.....that's the
messenger to the Laodicean church Age.
And the message of this great messenger that'll come in this closing day in the
Laodicean church Age, the Pentecostal Age, will be the one that'll take the
church to the rapture. Exactly. He was raptured himself, and he will
come with the church to the rapture.”
Jan 22, 1961
WMB said: “You say the right word. Just say
the right thing. It's what you say. That's the new ministry just
moving up. I've been standing here for fifteen, twenty minutes waiting for
It. See? Just say what you will. He has to tell me first.”
Feb 1961 Date of Brother
Jackson’s dream.
Feb 11, 1961
WMB said: “There's a new ministry that God has
confirmed, and we know it to be the God's truth. But somehow or another it
just won't work here in‑‑in America. It does at other places.”
March 19, 1961
“But when the next Elijah comes in the end time, he's to go back
and take the‑‑the father's hearts‑‑the children's hearts, rather, and turn them
back to the faith of the Pentecostal fathers. We're looking for him to come.
He'll come. God said he would, and he'll be here. I believe, if anything, the message
that we got today will forerun that great coming of him.”
March 18, 1962
“God has promised Malachi 4 for this last day, and Malachi 4
has not yet has been fulfilled. The messenger of Malachi 4 will
appear at God's appointed time. We are all looking for him. We believe
he will come. That is according to His Word; it will be at the end time, which
it is time now for to see it.”
Sept 8, 1962
“But then He told me, On the third pull, don't
fail. See? And don't tell people. I'm always trying to explain what I'm
trying to do. He let me know not to tell people what you're doing. Just do what
He tells me to do and let it alone. See?”
Dec 22, 1962 WMB said he had the vision of the Angels and
an explosion.
Dec 30, 1962 WMB told the Church they were moving out
west. Told about visions.
Jan 1963 WMB and family moved to Arizona
Jan 1963 WMB said he had a vision about the Sword of the King.....being
the Word of God
Feb 28, 1963 WMB said he had vision on mountain of Angels
and explosion.
March 21, 1963
“And now, we believe that there is to be a coming of the true
spirit of Elijah. We may be laying a foundation for it now.”
March 24, 1963
“It may be time. It may be the hour now, that this great person
that we're expecting to rise on the scene may rise on the scene. Maybe this
ministry that I have tried to take people back to the Word has laid a
foundation; and if it has, I'll be leaving you for good. There won't be two
of us here the same time. See? If it is, he will increase, I'll decrease. I
don't know. But I have been privileged by God to look and see what it was (See, see?), unfold to that much. Now, that
is the truth.”
WMB told about the January vision. “something just come to me and
said, "Don't fear." Now, I didn't hear no voice, like on the
inside of me spoke. I just tell you the truth, just exactly what happened.
Something hit and said, "Don't fear. This is that third
pull."”
June 23, 1963 WMB told about a recent vision
on the road.
“I am returning to the field. Amen. Old or young, live or die,
I'll obey God until death shall set me free. I have failed the Lord, not
willing...If God pushes a man through a pipe and he don't move at all until God
tells him, there's no faith connected with it. I must go out by faith.
I must do it by faith whether I think it's right or wrong, or what... I do the
best of my choosing and then go do it. Because it hasn't been wrong, it's
'cause I've waited till He told me to go do it. I've waited for Him, so it
wasn't me; it was Him. Give me the‑‑the‑‑the‑‑the Rod of the Lord, that I might
stretch it out up over the sick and afflicted, that I might bring it out upon‑‑to
bring deliverance to those who are needy and judgment to those who are
rejecting.”
July 14, 1963
“He (Moses) was anointed for the job and still waiting for THUS
SAITH THE LORD. God must've just got enough of it. He said, "Don't
cry anymore; speak. I sent you." God, give me courage to take that Sword
of the Word that He put in my hand about thirty‑three years ago and hold it and
march forward to the third pull is my prayer.”
July 17, 1963
“But you remember; it was the Holy Spirit that spoke to me up
there on the road and said, "I'm sending you back amongst the sick and
the afflicted."”
Oct 1963 WMB said he spoke to the
storm on the mountain.
Nov 10, 1963
“And, Lord, we don't know what this Third Pull, as we have referred to
it, will be. I don't know what. And You said, "The works that I do,
shall you do also," and said You did nothing till the Father showed You.”
“The third pull has now been vindicated, and I'm
sure you all know what it is. this will be the thing that will start the
rapturing faith for the going away.”
Jan 12, 1964
“We know what the third pull is, we all‑‑we all understand that.
Now, I think it'll just lay dormant for a little while, until the great hour of
persecution comes on. That's when...?... It'll speak. It'll be manifested. Just
like the five straight signs without failure, perfectly.”
Jan 20, 1964
He told about the five times of speaking the Word for something to
happen. He said: “Now, that great gift... Others I tried to explain and say how
it was done. This can't be explained. Just wait. It will not be in operation
so perfectly now. Wait till that council of churches brings on that
persecution; that's when it'll happen. That's the reason I come back
among you to pray for the sick. I have never had but one thing that He ever told me in my life that I know that
hasn't happened yet, that some sort of a building or a tent where there'd be a
little building setting, and I'd have to go into that and pray for the sick. That
hasn't happened yet as far as I know..”
William Branham, talking about the third pull: No one,
even Jesus Himself said, "The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what
He seeth the Father do, that doeth the Son likewise. We know that? St. John
5:19.”
WMB said: “The Third Pull, the opening of the Word, the
mysteries revealed. And remember the Third Pull was the opening of them
Seven Seals to reveal the hidden Truth that's been sealed in the Word.
“I'm only building. The hour's close at hand when you're going to
see something happen, when something's going to take place and all this
background here, has only been laying a foundation for a short, quick message
that'll shake the whole nation.
And that's why today we're in such a need of this great person that's supposed to be sent to us in the form of
the prophet Elijah
