>>THE WILLIAM BRANHAM PROPHECY>>
Tonight I was thinking..” If the walls of this building could talk .. they would testify
of the miracles that occurred in this room when I played the organ for William
Branham here, in 1965. I also played for him in Phoenix at the Ramada Inn,
and at a church there. If those walls could talk…they would speak of
what Jesus did!
I’m going to tell you what William Branham … told me just a few months
before the Lord took him home.
Today, as I was leaving Phoenix to come down here to Tucson, I took an
associate to the airport and I had to drive down Van Buren, in Phoenix.
Some of you know where it’s at. And I saw the place where there used
to be an old cafeteria. And on the last Sunday afternoon of the healing
crusade in Phoenix, in 1965, Brother Branham walked over to the organ
after the service and he said, “Son, would you like to go have lunch
with me?”
I had seen him many times in different places and was privileged to be
with him on other meeting occasion. But that was a joy, to be invited
to eat with this man of God…and my heart almost jumped out of my
chest. “Oh yes, Brother Branham… I’d love to have lunch.”
(I was 16 years of age, at that time)
I got off the organ. We went and got into his car and we drove over
to this little cafeteria.
When we got out of the car he said, “Come here, I want to show you
something.” He puts the key to the trunk and he opens it up and to my
shock he’s got a gun case in there. It was a hunting rifle. It was a 30/30
Winchester.
He took it out and handed it to me, Bro. Branham said; “The Winchester
Company just mailed this to me,” Folks.. It had his name engraved in gold
on the butt of the gun, “Brother William Branham.”
I felt like I was touching something very important.. though I wouldn’t have
known how to shoot it, but I knew it was very special. I also knew Bro.
Branham liked to go deer hunting once in a while. I had some minister
friends who enjoyed going hunting with him…every year. I said,
“Brother Branham, I heard about those times that you would go deer
hunting. Brother so-and-so and Brother so-and-so, often went with
you…right? ” He confirmed that was true.
Anyway, we went on in the restaurant. And here’s the main part of
what I’m supposed to be telling today.
We went on in and got our trays…got our food, and we sat down…
to eat our Sunday lunch.
I’m ashamed to say this, but can I just tell it like it was. You see..
I had in my mind back then, that; “if Brother Branham hired me for
an advance man, that I could really help him have bigger crusades..
(or so I thought) Now, of course, I understand that; “that was my
own carnal thinking…not the spirit of God.”
You see, I had helped a few preachers put some ads in the paper,
run a few radio and t.v. announcements for their crusades … and
I had thought I had all the answers, for preachers’ advertising, for
revival campaigns. (In later years…God blessed my “Ministry of Helps”…
and we produced T.V. and Radio Broadcast for up to 23 ministries…
across America! Including ..Pastor John H Osteen, founder of
Lakewood Church..in Houston)
Brother Branham, was sitting there ..across the table .. and I said;
“Brother Branham,.. you know you’re only in your 50’s. You’ve got
plenty of good health and energy. If you just had the right promotion
for your meeting…why you could have the biggest crusades you’ve
ever had.”
He looked at me and smiled and dropped his head. He said,
“No son,” he said, “You see, that’s not the way God planned it.”
I almost fell off my chair! That wasn’t really what I wanted to hear!
(it didn’t fit my plans)
He was speaking for the Lord and I was listening with my carnal mind.
I said, “What do you mean, Brother Branham?”
He replied, “Well, you see, God’s through with me! My Ministry
Is Finished!” And I was even in shock!
I said, “What do you mean about that? You’ve got plenty of years left?”
He said, “Well, my season has come to a close. God is finished
with my ministry and He’s going to take me on home!”
He went on to explain; ” How he had been part of A Great Season of
Healing Revivals. He mentioned all the Voice of Healing Preachers, ..
He mentioned Brother Allen, Gale Jackson, William Freeman, Oral Roberts,
T.L. Osborn and others. (He was so kind to even also mention that He
had been in some of my father’s services, and he commented that; “Dad
had a great Holy Ghost anointing…to lead people into the baptisim of the
Holy Ghost, as he had witnessed…when he had recently attended my
fathers service….at the big A. A. ALLEN CAMPMEETING TENT
…at the Phoenix Fair Grounds!)
Folks.. may I share also, that my father and my mother could get more
people through into the baptism ..than any preacher I’ve ever met!
Why sometimes 1,700 people could receive the Holy Ghost..in a single service,…
because my folks had a special anointing..and they had a real love to see people
receive this precious Holy Ghost Baptism!! (most preachers don’t even talk
about it, anymore)
The body of Christ..needs a fresh Revival of the infilling and baptism into the
Holy Spirit. I’m not just talking about tongues, that’s wonderful; but folks we’re
going to have to learn to really walk in the Spirit..to face the evil and darkness
now coming upon the world and to get the real job done for God… in this hour.
r…and to know who we are in Christ!
Brother Branham said, “I’ve been a great season of Healing Revivals..
where we laid hands on people one at a time and we saw blind eyes open,
cancers disappear, the lame walk… And oh! it was wonderful.”
But he went on to say, “I am about to leave you because God changing
the season! But another season is coming! This season is going to be of
teaching and revelation of the Word of Jesus Christ; .. and “who we
really are in Him …and Who He Is In Us!!“
Folks I believe ..” It’s Not just about Jesus hanging on the Cross. That’s wonderful.
But religion will leave Him on the Cross…and keep you there continually feeling guilty
and condemned and repenting over and over for your sins…and never growing
into the “MANIFESTED SON OF GOD” …YOU ARE PURPOSED TO BE!
Church…”We need to move from the cross …on to the resurrection
and have a personal resurrection of the revelation of the Lord Jesus..
and His Divine Plan…”That we too…are Sons of God..through Jesus
Christ! Amen?
Brother Branham went on to emphasize, “It’s about Jesus in us and
us in Him.” And he said, “This teaching season will go for a while,
and then it will come to a close… and then God will birth another
new … and final season upon the church world!!
Rev. Branham said; ” In this coming new season…God will bring
to the forefront…THE MINISTRY OFFICES .. OF THE TRUE APOSTLES
AND PROPHETS..ANDTHEY WILL KNOW THE POWER OF GOD …
LIKE WE NEVER EXPERIANCED..SENCE THE DAYS OF PENTECOST!! “
He said, “Why often times..the auditoriums..arenas..large tents or
stadiums..will not hold the people! The Men of God will at times…
even stand in an large open field…or looking at a mass of people
in a great valley.. and they will manifest the supernatural power
of God! Masses will be Saved ..and Miraculously Healed!!
It’s going to happen even in America.” Brother Branham said,
“God is going to bring the ministry of the apostles and the prophets
to the forefront!’ (in the past, they’ve often been pushed into the
background…and it’s been all about the pastors, teachers and
evangelist) A NEW DAY IS DAWNING! Oh! Praise God!
CHURCH… Let me ask you; “How many of you can remember when was the
last time, since you’ve heard the word “apostle or prophet” in your churches? ”
Folks..Jesus said (I didn’t say it, William Branham did’nt say it);
Jesus said; ” That His Church would be built upon the foundation of
the Apostles and Prophets, with Jesus Christ the Head. Yes! God’s
bringing them forth, into the forefront. ALSO… All fivefold ministry
offices..functioning in the Body of Christ..TO BRING US INTO PERFECTION!
Bro. Branham said to me, “They will have the mind of God and the heart
of God and the Voice of God. And when they speak, their words will become
the Words of God.” They won’t say what man says. They won’t say what
denominations say or what men’s tradition says or any of that.
Ladies and Gentlemen..”They will speak as the true oracle of God! And
they won’t just speak about the future… THEY WILL SPEAK GOD’S
SUPERNATURAL WORD..AND GOD WILL CREAT THE FUTURE!!
OH! PRAISE GOD! “
May I share with you…” Anybody that reads the Bible …can quote bible prophecies.
You don’t even have to have the Holy Ghost to talk about bible prophecy…but that
doesn’t make you a prophet!
Anyone can stand in a congregation and prophecy …with the “Gift of Prophecy (one
on the 9 gifts)..but that doesn’t make them an ordained Prophet of God!
(Paul ..speaking of the gift of Prophecy,.. said; ” I would that you all prophecy”)
Folks… We’ve got a lot of people running around today…calling themselves prophets.
But simply calling yourself a prophet doesn’t necessarily make you a prophet. Having
some business cards printed up, that announces you as a prophet of god, doesn’t
make you a prophet! ( I call them; ” NON-PROFITS!” they don’t bring any profit…
to the body of Christ, just themselves)
*Church…TRUE PROPHETS ARE BIRTHED, CHOSEN AND ANOINTED…ONLY BY
THE HOLY GHOST HIMSELF!!…AMEN?
Child of God..When this group of GOD’S TRUES APOSTLES AND PROPHETS
EMERGES, they will speak as the very oracle of God and whatever they say,
God will create it because it will be His time, His will and His Word. …. And it
won’t be about the big name ministers anymore, it will be all about JESUS
AND HIM ALONE!. Amen?
*THIS END-TIME COMPANY OF THE PROPHETS OF GOD…WILL NOT JUST SPEAK
ABOUT THE FUTURE…GOD WILL SPEAK THROUGH THEM… AND “HE” WILL
CREATE THE FUTURE ..BEFORE THEM!! OH! PRAISE GOD!!
I’M TALKING ABOUT THE SAME GOD AND THE SAME POWER…THAT SPOKE THE
WORLDS AND THE UNIVERSES INTO EXISTENCE!! HE’S GOD ALMIGHTY!! …AMEN.
If I learned anything traveling with these precious men of God from the past, all of whom
I love very much and could tell countless testimonies of healing miracles and deliverance,
but the greatest miracle of all …. was the mighty miracle of millions of people…
coming to the Lord Jesus Christ!
Yes…I was blessed.. to sit right here in this very room .. and play the organ, with Bro.
Branham and watch many come to Jesus.
In the great healing crusades..I saw people come and get saved. I could see the conviction
of God on them…and the Holy Ghost changed their lives … right in front of me.
One time in Brother Allen’s meeting, I got off the organ and I told the associate, “I’ve got be
excused, to go and pray.
” I went to my room and I stayed in my hotel room for three days and got saved all over again …
because people were coming into the alters and receiving more from God… than I was getting!
I knew I had to pray through and touch God for my self!..amen?
I had sat on the organ so long, I had backslid…gotten cold in my experience with
the Lord!
Folks..I’m just being honest with you. The greatest place to lose your walk with
God is sitting in a church somewhere,… with your mind tied up and tangled up in
religion and stuff, and all these do’s and don’ts!
But if you want to know Jesus, He is here tonight, He loves you… He desires you to come
home to the Father!
Church…we’ve got to know him personally ..in a reality! Amen?
Bro. Oral Roberts laid his hands on my hands when I was ten years old. I had
no idea what he was doing. He said, “Jesus, bless this boy. Let him take Your
healing power to the nations.” I didn’t want to go nowhere. I was comfortable at home.
I had my little bicycle and my Roy Rogers, Gene Autry cap guns and lunch box..
and a black and white TV set. What else could a boy want?
I didn’t want to go to the nations. But God Almighty..had a plan and a purpose!
Bro. Allen came along after that…when I was about 15 yrs. old … and while
I was carrying his brief case for him.. as he walked under that great tent..to preach,
he slapped his hand on my head and said; “OH GOD! MAKE A PREACHER BOY..
OUT OF BUFORD!” (I remember thinking; “Lord, I don’t want to be a preacher boy..
I just want to carry Bro. Allen’s brief case!) Folks…God knows how to put the want
to…in you! Amen?
God put the desire in my heart to sit on that organ. I saw the power of God so much
in those crusades all across America and Canada,.. until I couldn’t sit there on the
organ any more. Soon.. I’d go to the hotel or the motel, after those powerful services..
and I’d dream at night, and “I’d be preaching and praying for the sick in my dreams! …
AND GOD WOULD BE SAVING MULTITUDES AND HEALING PEOPLE OF ALL
KINDS OF SICKNESS AND DISEASES!”
Finally, in 1970..I took $8,000—that’s all I had. I Went to Nassau, Bahamas
and rented a ballpark. I spent money on advertising and shipped a little half
pint, Hammond organ—a little Spinet and put a microphone by it so they
could hear it. I sang and played and talked about Jesus! (I had no churches
behind, nor not any underwriters,..just “Spending My Faith!” )
Folks. according to the police, .. over Nine thousand people showed up …
and I didn’t know what to do with them!
I just played the organ and sang and testified. And when I ran out, I started it all
over again. And they got to singing, praising God with me. And in a few nights the
crowd was getting bigger.
When it was raining, they wouldn’t go home! I was soaking wet, so were
they. But we just kept having church. Anyway, to make a long story short,
I wound up going all over the world in International Missionary Crusades!
137 of them!! Hundreds of Revival Meetings! Multitudes have come to Jesus
Christ…and been Healed by His Power! Oh! Praise God!
Why, because somebody took the time (when I was a little preachers kid) ..
to bless my hands..and say, ….“Lord God…Let him take your healing power
to the nations.” “Lord Jesus; “I need an organist, anoint Buford!” “Jesus;
Make A Preacher Boy…Out Of Buford! ”
CHURCH…” I believe God’s going to do it again! I believe God’s getting
ready to pour out of his spirit again…across America and the nations!!.”
Child of God…..Here’s the bottom line. All of it, past, present, future ..
IT’S NOT ABOUT MEN! (it never was) They’re just men. Their just human …
just like you!
IT WASN’T ABOUT WILLIAM BRANHAM, ORAL ROBERTS, JACK COE,
AA ALLEN, ANY OF THE OTHERS…OR EVEN BUFORD DOWELL…
IT WAS AND STILL IS …..ALL ABOUT JESUS!!!!!!.
*MANY OF THEM MADE MISTAKES, JUST LIKE THE MEN OF GOD IN THE BIBLE…
AND JUST LIKE YOU AND I HAVE,.. BUT “GOD PUTS HIS TREASURE, IN EARTHAN
VESSELS!” (DON’T FORGET THAT)
YES! THEY WE’RE GREAT MEN OF GOD…THEY SOUGHT GOD, STUDIED THE
WORD, FASTED AND CONSECRATED THEIR LIVES…FOR THE POWER OF GOD,…
BUT IT WAS REALLY NOT ABOUT THEM..IT WAS ALLLLLLL ABOUT JESUS!!
ALL THEY DID, WAS SPEND THEIR FAITH…SAID WHAT JESUS SAID…AND
JESUS SHOWED UP…AND “IN HIS PRESENCE, IS FULLNESS OF JOY!!!”
AMEN AND AMEN- B.D. ROMANS THE 8TH CHAPTER!
