We received that testimony from a brother who was there during today’s Jubilee sermon.
If you have a Scofield Bible, pages 1138 and 1139 stuck together. The top-right of page 1137 is St. John 16 and the top left of page 1140 is St. John 17, so it would be easy to think that there is nothing missing between the two.
It may not have seemed like a big deal when it happened, but a great event took place when that priest gave Brother Branham the Bible. We will hear a little more about it in the next sermon, and then Brother Branham will go into detail when he returns to Jeffersonville in a couple months.
Brother Branham is again at the Ramada Inn, in Phoenix, Arizona. After he reads his text, he brings the sermon he titled, “Birth Pains.” It’s one of those messages that so many of us hold dear to our hearts. Here are a few highlights.
Father, it is the greatest privilege that a mortal ever had, was to close his eyes and open his heart, and speak to You.
And that is, God, for Your great Name to be honored today, by bringing into Your Kingdom every lost and straying soul that be under the sound of our voice, or this tape would ever reach, out into the heathen lands, where around the world they go.
And now the old has to die, in order that the new is born.
So, therefore, death is hard, any time. So, it’s painful. It’s distressful. Birth is the same, because you’re bringing life into the world, and it’s--it’s painful.
Now, grace and law cannot exist at the same time. Cause, grace is so far above law, law is not even in the picture.
Pretty is as pretty does. If you’ll add a little Acts 2:4, mix it all up together, with a little John 3:16, it’ll beat anything that Max Factor ever did try to fix. See? Your husband will love you more; everybody else will; and I’m sure God will.
That’s the way a Christian has to do. It ain’t somebody just shaking your hand, taking you in. You got to lay there till you die, rot, and are born into the Kingdom of God. It’s God’s provided way.
That’s the same thing in new Birth. We never go back, but we go forward when you’re born again.
Pentecost is an experience and not a denomination.
Now, in order to get the new earth, the old one has to die. Now, if the old one has to die, then it’s giving birth pains for a new one now.
People’s science has broke into God’s great laboratory, until they’re going to destroy themselves.
There wasn’t nowhere in the Bible that Christ was ever put out of the church, but the Laodicea age.
The Word must deliver the Word Bride Church.
Hear me, not my Message, but His Message that He firmly declares to be the Truth.
You’ve got to choose from somewhere. You can’t sit still after this. You’ve got to make your choice.
But there’s Something in me. I can’t stop It. I never put It there. It never come by my own choosing. It’s God.
And Jesus, the Son of God, which was made flesh, showing that the Spirit of God would come back down in that little elected Group of at the end time, and would reveal Hisself in the same manner. Birth pains!
May the Pillar of Fire and the Pillar of Cloud move into the people today and sober them, Lord, to the realization of the Presence of the living and mighty God.
