(4) PILLAR OF FIRE ISRAEL.IN.THE.HOMELAND_ JEFF.IN IC 129-147 SUNDAY_ 53-0329 85 When Moses fail, Joshua saw that Pillar of Fire move, said,
"Come on, children, we're on our road." He brought them up
there to the side of Jordan. Oh, when I think of that, how beautiful...
He said, "Now, before we cross over, we'll let a couple of spies
slim--swim over." You know the case of harlot, the Rahab, Rahab the harlot, rather,
how she let the scarlet clothes down and saved her house. By faith she
saved the day; she saved her and her household. All the walls fell but
her part, because there was a red streak on her door. EXPECTATIONS_ JONESBORO.AR THURSDAY_ 53-0507 E-41 Now, God put them here. They do their work. That's what
they're supposed to do. But they can set a bone, take out a tooth, or
whatevermore. But that don't heal you. That only sets the bone. God has
to make it grow. Pull a tooth, but who's going to heal the socket. Take
out an appendix, but who'll heal the tissue that's cut? God has to.
Medicine doesn't build tissue; it only keeps clean while God heals. Now, as a minister, I'm only His representative to pray for you.
And by a Divine gift, and of the anointing of the Holy Spirit you seen
the picture of It in the book tonight... I wished I'd have brought lots
of those pictures. I got them. I just have to buy the books, and have to
buy the pictures myself. They're not mine. And I give them out to the
peoples. And if you could see that same Pillar of Fire that led
the children of Israel. He's here now. He's the Angel of the
covenant, which was Christ Jesus. And He's here now. EXPECTATIONS_ JONESBORO.AR THURSDAY_ 53-0507 E-54 Now, you're subject... You know that's something is going on.
But now, That won't hurt you. See? Now, That's just the Holy Spirit
coming near here. It's a... You seen the picture of It awhile ago, that
Pillar of Fire. Did you ever see It? A lady here has got a book. Bring me that yellow book, will you,
sister there? Wished I would've brought some of those pictures. How many
ever--never did see It, let's see your hand, never even seen a
picture of the Angel? Here It is. This is by the American
Photographer Association, hangs in the religious hall of art in New York
City, the only supernatural Being that was ever taken in all the world's
history. You can see the Pillar of Fire. Here's George J. Lacy the head of the FBI. There's his signed
signature that It was a supernatural Being there, when It was taken
before thirty thousand people. And you see that, it said, "It
looked like a yellow... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] GOD.COMMISSIONING.MOSES.THE.PROPHET_ JONESBORO.AR FRIDAY_ 53-0508,
E-8 And what if Moses said, "I will just take off my hat, Lord,
that'll be just as good." But God didn't tell him his hat, He said,
his shoes. I believe we must do just what the Scripture says do, no
matter how hard it seems, and how indifferent from our teaching, we've
got to do what God said do. He said, shoes, He meant shoes. Moses slipped off his shoes, and started walking up in the... That
was the--the Angel of the Lord, Jesus Christ, setting in that bush, the
Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel through the wilderness. And
any teacher knows that the--the Angel of the covenant was
Jesus Christ. He was the Rock that was in the wilderness. He was in the
brass serpent. He was in all the patriarchs. He was in David. He was
down through the New Testament. And He's in His Church tonight. Just the
same Jesus the yesterday, today, and forever: changes not. GOD.COMMISSIONING.MOSES.THE.PROPHET_ JONESBORO.AR FRIDAY_ 53-0508,
E-10, So He done another miracle with a stick, turned it to a serpent.
And then picked it up again, it become a snake. Then after a snake,
become a stick. Then he said, that was God's glory. And signs, wonders,
and Divine healing... And as God was then, that same burning bush,
the same Pillar of Fire, is the same Jesus Christ, tonight doing the
same things among His people. There's always been signs and
wonders to vindicate His Presence, no matter what. They bypass this, and
explain this away, and explain that away, still the Bible remains the
same, just the same. God remains the same. GOD.COMMISSIONING.MOSES.THE.PROPHET_ JONESBORO.AR FRIDAY_ 53-0508 E-56 He said, "I will go pray for your sinful soul." And
he went out, the one Reform minister, Dutch Reform, and knelt down under
a peach tree. And the man had never heard my story. He'd only heard me
stand there about ten minutes time that night, and what the Lord had
done. He never heard nothing about the Angel of the Lord. And
while he was praying, well, here come a Pillar of Fire, whirling down,
stood before him. And It parted from one side to the other, and he
described that Angel to a perfect. And said, "It walked it over,
and he laid down. And the Angel laid his left hand upon his back,"
and he run back in to tell his friend. He said, "I tell you, that He stood there." And his
friend looked like that, and here was a scorched place, just the size of
a man's hand, all five fingers laying right on his white shirt. They
wear a white shirt and white tie, across his shirt. And the next day, a
picture that big, on the front page, and the minister with his eyes like
that, at that the Angel of the Lord. They sent and got me. It made
my--just exactly my hand like that, across his shirt. And there it went
throughout all South Africa, the Angel of the Lord. Oh, my. PILLAR.OF.FIRE_ JONESBORO.AR SATURDAY_ 53-0509, E-20 Now, when He
brought the children of Israel out of the wilderness, out into the
wilderness, He led them by a Pillar of Fire. Is that right? The
Bible said He did, and He went before them. That was the Anointing, the
Holy Spirit, Christ, that went before the children of Israel. Well, if He's the same as He was then, He's the same Man, the same
Person; He's everything that He was then, He--He is now. And as He
led the Church then in the natural, He's leading the Church today in the
spiritual. Is that right? Do you believe that we're in the
wilderness? We are. Are we on a road to the promised land? PILLAR.OF.FIRE_ JONESBORO.AR SATURDAY_ 53-0509 E-47 Now, it's not nothing in them... We don't... Nothing in the
picture, 'cause if Jesus Christ thought enough of me to come down and
have His picture taken beside of me for the first time in all the
world's history, I love Him too much to commercialize His picture. You
know that. That's right. See? Now, there it is. I just borrowed this one from Mr. Shebley and
them, the Reverend here and--and I give it to him the other day, and I
want you to see it. Look at It, It's a milling Fire. Now, what is that?
A Pillar of Fire led the children of Israel. And the same Pillar of Fire
was among those people is among this people now: Jesus Christ
the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is that right? PILLAR.OF.FIRE_ JONESBORO.AR SATURDAY_ 53-0509 E-60, "Me and My Word in you, you can ask what you will and
it'll be given unto you." These are Your promises, Lord. And just stand here tonight before this audience of people. I thank
Thee, O God I thank Thee, that Thou hast seen fit to take the low things
of this world, poor men, unworthy, guilty sinners and wash them in the
Blood of that Holy One. Set them out here as a purchase of Your Blood.
Give us the Morning Star, the Pillar of Fire to lead us, though we be
outcast, though we be called fanatics. "And all that live
godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." We're happy
tonight that we can be considered that way for the Kingdom of God's
sake. PILLAR.OF.FIRE_ JONESBORO.AR SATURDAY_ 53-0509 E-66 I wish this audience could see this. The whole room's becoming
milky, just like milk. Oh, friends, I'm--I'm telling you the truth. God
vindicates it with His Spirit. And this is the same Angel of God,
the same Pillar of Fire Who stood upon the Lord Jesus Christ in His
Person and knew the thoughts of the people and done the things. Here it
is, the same Jesus Christ. Have faith tonight. PILLAR.OF.FIRE_ JONESBORO.AR SATURDAY_ 53-0509 E-74 Is this the patient? Is this the patient? How do you do,
sister? [Brother Branham clears his throat--Ed.] Excuse me. I--I just
want to talk to you. Do you--do you believe these things that you see
done comes from God? You do. They can't come from man. Nowhere else but
God. The Lord bless thee and reward you for your faith. Now, if I be God's prophet and Jesus Christ the same yesterday,
today, and forever, that same Pillar of Fire that led the children
through the wilderness came upon the Son of God and led Him and He
claimed He could do nothing but what the Father showed Him, then He's
the same One today. Is that right? If I know you not, and He be here and
you and I talking, it'll be just like the woman at the well and the
Master talking to her. He couldn't heal her, but He found how... where
her trouble was. Is that right? Well, I claim that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever,
that He brought me into this world for a purpose, raised up to bless the
people in a manner of the Divine gift which was ministered to me by an
Angel.
You believe that true? You believe that to be true. |
