I looked at him
standing there for so many hours in the pulpit. I would watch him, and I
would cry and cry. I asked the Lord if He would allow me to do something
to make it a little more pleasant for Brother Branham. I always tried to
set in the front, right under the pulpit. I thought, “If I could just
lay my coat on the platform, where he stands to preach, it might make a
little softer place for him to stand.” Then I thought he would just kick
it out of the way; I wasn’t worthy of such a thing.
A close friend of Brother Branham told this story. He watched when
Brother Branham labored for hours in the pulpit. He saw his body weaken to
exhaustion as the people were healed. He witnessed the prophet choosing the hard
way through life, so others would have the opportunity to hear the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. Today, the Bride of Christ is enjoying the blessings that Brother
Branham worked so hard for us to have.
We are listening to the same Voice that this brother heard
decades ago. We are still receiving our healing. Souls are still being saved.
And God’s only requirement is that we believe the Voice we are hearing.
The tapes, that required such a sacrifice for Brother Branham to make, are
now circling the globe. MP3 technology has made it possible for millions of his
sermons to go to the Bride of Christ. Now instead of two, three, or four
cassettes for each sermon, believers can enjoy multiple sermons on one CD with
no compromise in quality.
Since 2002, we have reproduced over 17 million sermons in MP3 format. These
numbers are in addition to almost 9 million cassette tapes and millions upon
millions of Message books. And the work continues to move forward.
Over the past eight months we have sent six 20-foot containers and one 40-foot container filled
with Message material to Congo. Within these containers were hundreds of
thousands of Messages for the Bride of Christ. And those shipments were just for
the people of Congo! Containers bound for all areas of the world are continually
leaving our docks. As the shipments are loaded, we can only imagine where this
precious cargo will go.
Brother Branham said,
I hope the spiritual mind can catch
it. I'm sure you do. But I wonder, out there. Anyhow, you can't visit every
nation. You can send tapes to it. God will have some way to catch that mind
out there where that seed is sowed. Right. And as soon as the Light strikes
it [Brother Branham claps his hands together once--Ed.], it's gone,
takes Life. Like the little woman at the well, she said, "There It is." She
caught It.
The Third Exodus 63-0630M
Although we may not be able to lay our coats beneath the feet of the prophet,
we have the opportunity to send him throughout the world to preach to the Bride
of Christ. The following is a list of languages and MP3 messages VGR has sent
out since 2002. This is only MP3 sermons; there are millions more books and tapes in many more languages. And the numbers continue to grow!
