Brother Branham returned from Jeffersonville to his home in Tucson after he preached “Satan’s Eden.” He then made the two-hour drive to Phoenix where he preached today’s Jubilee sermon at the Ramada Inn.
Brother Branham honors an old friend, Florence Shakarian, sister to Brother Demos Shakarian – President of the Full Gospel Businessmen. He prophesied a couple years before that she would die early in the morning, which is exactly what happened just before this meeting. The mood is somber as Brother Branham begins the sermon by speaking about her. He then goes on to preach the sermon, “God’s Power To Transform.”
The following testimony is from a sister, whose dad visited with Brother Branham in Tucson, Arizona prior to today’s service in Phoenix:
Here are a few highlights from today’s Jubilee Message.
And then you being His son and daughter, you are part of It, and that makes you a part of Him. So that’s why we come to fellowship together around the Word of God.
And the first man, that He created, was spirit-man, and he was in the image and in the likeness of God. And then He put this man in flesh, and man fell. So then God came down and become in the image of man, that He might redeem that fallen man.
That, anything that stays in His channel, in His line of Word, it will have to bring forth exactly like His Word said it would do. It cannot move from there. It’s channeled just exactly right.
But if the wisdom is contrary, if the wisdom isn’t correct wisdom from God, Divine wisdom, and becomes natural wisdom; I don’t care how much science we have, and whatmore, or education, it’s of the devil.
And we are the privileged people that God has chosen, of the earth, that we might see and understand these things; which is not some mythical, fleshly mind of a person trying to make it up. It’s the Word of God made manifest, proven, that It’s right. Proven, not by science; but by God, that It’s right.
In these six thousand years, he has formed (not created), but, deformed God’s whole earth; his creatures, the animals, interbreeding, hybreeding; trees, plants, human; even to religion, the Bible, church; until he has got hisself a complete garden of Eden, of science, everything moving by science.
Man is rotten. The whole human race is corrupted. Everything is like it was in the antediluvian time. It’s completely upset, turned around, different from the straight row that God planted them in.
Satan’s purpose, from Eden, was to make his ownself an Eden; and exalt himself above, so the stars of God would worship him, sons would worship him. And he has absolutely carried it out now, and when he’s done this and brought it into the church.
But I’m so glad that God is mindful of us again, that He can still move upon the face of the condition. He promised He would do it, and call a little flock which would be His Bride.
And there is only one thing that can quicken the Word, and that is the Spirit, for It is the Life-Giver to the Word. And when the Life in the Word meets the Life of the Spirit, It produces whatever the Seed is.
If we love fashions of the earth, the world, if we love the trend of the day, if we think “this is a wonderful time, oh, we have all these things,” if you think that, it’s because your thinking is wrong. It is perverted by the devil. “For if you love the world’s order, and the things of this present world, it’s because the love of God is not even in you.” Remember that.
God, my Rock, shelter us today, O God, when these poisons are flying everywhere in the name of science and education. Shelter us. Keep me until that day, O God, is my prayer.
So it seems to be now, so hard for people to humble themselves to the Word of God. They, they just don’t want to do it. They’ll humble themselves to the creed of the church, sure, but not to the Word of God.
Your whole organizational system is of the devil. It’s the mark of the beast, in the Bible.
Then you were in the loins of Jesus, and went to Calvary with Him. You died with Him, and you raised with Him. And today we’re sitting in Heavenly places in Him, filled with His Spirit, sons and daughters of God. Die with Him, raised with Him.
But, brother, there is one thing I can brag on, I can brag on my Lord Jesus Who has redeemed me. And with His transforming power planted a seed, by predestination, and I saw It. Whose son am I now? Yeah. I can brag on Him.
True predestinated believers will stay with the Word because they are part of that Word.
He longs to have fellowship with you. He is longing for you. He wants to transform you by the renewing of your mind, not to the church or to the denomination, but to His Word, which, you are a part if that desire is in you.
That Word has to come to pass, It’s God’s Word! Plant It in your heart, if you want to go in a Rapture. If you want to be Christians genuine, place this Word.
God, transform us today, by Your power, by the renewing of our mind, to turn from the meager elements of this world now, unto the Word of God. And may we be renewed by the transforming power of God upon the Seed that’s in our heart, that we believe, unto creatures called sons and daughters of God.
