It's the close of a powerful series of six sermons. Not only does Brother Branham give us testimony after testimony of his personal life, but have your notes ready, because he gives a lot of Scripture references too. He closes with a heart-wrenching personal testimony and then sings "On The Wings Of A Snow White Dove" before he calls a "memorial line," praying once again for his friends at Life Tabernacle. We look forward to hearing this heart-wrenching message with you. Here are a few highlights from "On The Wings Of A Snow White Dove."
1 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
Now, the Dove of... God wanted to represent His Son, He was represented by the most cleanest and meekest animal on the earth, a earthbound creature; but when God represented Himself in the heavens, was by the meekest and most cleanest bird there is in the heavens, a dove.
But when a man can really see what Jesus done for him, and turn around and do something contrary to Him, it shows he never received Christ.
So is it at our Ark, Jesus Christ; God opened the door for us on Calvary, He’ll close it just as sure as He opened it.
John looked up! Now, what is he? The prophet! And here is the Word, there comes the Word coming right straight to the prophet, right to the water.
Notice, the Word come to the prophet in this dispensation of grace, in the water (uh-huh). I thought you’d catch it (uh-huh). In the water! The first revelation of the Word was in the water. Now you see where the Bride started, the Evening-light Message? In the water! The Word, true Word not mixed up with creeds, but come to the prophet in the water, by the water.
And may I stop here just for a minute, to say this: a true Bride, female dove, is loyal to her Mate, too. It won’t inject any dogmas, any denominational doctrines, anything of the world. It’ll stay loyal to its Mate, the Word; always loyal.
So from Calvary’s cross where they bruised Him, mashed Him, tore Him, like a bunch of wolves upon Him, He made His flight from Calvary and He landed in Heaven’s doors, saying, “It’s finished! It’s finished! They are free! Sickness can be healed now! Sinners can be saved! The captive can be set free!”
Now, you’ll have to know my ministry to know these symbols and things.
God Almighty, Who raised up Jesus Christ from the dead, Whose servant I am, and His Word laying here, open before me, know that I tell the truth and lie not.
Brother, as a son of Abraham, I consider not what the doctor told me, I’m going to be well, anyhow!
“What are you leaning against, over your heart?” And I raised back like this, my bare shoulders; naked from my waist up, hot. I looked back. And there was wrote in the quartz, in the stone, “White Eagle”; just exactly what the vision said that the next Message would come forth by.
Dear God, I thank You for these things, Father. You give Noah the sign, You gave the world the sign, and You gave me a sign.
And, tonight, send down Your Message again, Lord, on the wings of the Dove of the Word.
I pray that that Dove will fly into every heart right now, Lord, with Its little, golden beak, and whisper that, “By His stripes... By My wounds and stripes you are healed.” God, grant that our transgressions will be blotted out, our iniquities will be forgiven us, and that our sickness will be healed. It’s in Your hands, Father.
Why, me an old man, suffered all my life, why did He heal me now? I believe I’ll ride this trail again, I got to bring a Message! And I say to my Father, tonight, (as Junior seen in a_a dream the other night of the wings of this Dove, moving in these windows here), Lord, Your servant’s reporting for service. Amen, I’m ready!
“On the wings of a snow-white dove, God sent down His pure, sweet love, Was a sign from above, On the wings of a dove.”
