Greetings in the Name of our resurrected Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!
My friends, this weekend commemorates the greatest time in history. How important were the events on Good Friday, when Christ died for the sins of mankind? How important was resurrection Sunday, when He conquered death, hell, and the grave? Did the thought ever cross your mind that, even when God created the heavens and the earth, it could not compare to what He did for us on the first Easter? The Word says that heavens and earth shall pass away, so the things created in the beginning are not eternal, but because we are in Christ, we are Eternal with God! What does Easter mean to a Christian? It’s everything!
I was truly with Him, I identified myself in His death there on Calvary when I died to the things of the world, to myself and all traditions. I was identified with Him. I was identified with Him on Easter morning when He rose from the dead. I was identified with Him on the Day of Pentecost, when the Holy Ghost came down like a rushing mighty wind. I was identified with Him. All that He was I am, all that I am He was; amen, being dead in Him we are identified with Him. What He is I am. Amen!

When I think of what the Lord did for us 2,000 years ago, I wonder what we, as His Bride, could ever do to properly honor Him on Easter weekend. I believe that He loves us to gather together to have services, but it is impossible for all of us to be together at once (at least here on earth). Brother Branham saw the importance of this so he instituted the global prayer chain to have the Bride pray together at the same time. While thinking on these things and asking the Lord what He wants us to do at the Branham Tabernacle over Easter, it again came on my heart to ask the people to devote the entire weekend to prayer and study of the Word.
We may not be able to gather at church this weekend, but we can surely be worshipping at the same time! As we did last year, I would again like to set a schedule for the members of the Tabernacle. This schedule represents the times that we, here in Jeffersonville, will be praying or listening to the prophet. I certainly don’t want to interfere with any plans your churches have (that’s your post of duty), but if you don’t have a place of fellowship, and/or any of the times are open for you, then you are welcome to join us. There is one thing I know for sure: whether you pick one of these times or all of them, we will ALL receive a great blessing from this Easter weekend. It happened last year, and this year my expectations are even greater!
