We love the Word! It seems that every morning, someone here at VGR has been blessed by a quote he just heard and wants to share it. Sometimes it’s a Bible verse and other times it’s what they heard on tape, but it is always timely.
Here are a few “Golden Nuggets” that have circulated the building here at VGR recently, and we think they will be a blessing to you also.
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
John 14:14
Now, the Word of God is a Sword. Hebrews the 4th chapter says so, Hebrews 4:12. Now, It is a Sword. And a sword is perfect dormant if it isn't yielded by a hand or a power. And it... But it takes a hand to hold the Sword. And the--take... The hand that holds this Sword is the hand of faith.
Now, that hand of faith, it depends on how strong it is. This hand of faith might just be strong enough to cut a little hole through the darkness and say, "By faith I'm saved." That's a great cut, but then if that's all the stronger that hand is to yield that Sword, that's all it can cut. But if it's a strong hand, it'll cut plumb through everything the devil can put out there, and make every promise of God shine forth in the power of His resurrection. If it's a strong hand of faith, "The days of miracles... Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever," cut its way through. It depends on the power of the hand behind the Sword.

Satan, this little slingshot of prayer seems very simple, but I know what it'll do. I'm coming after that sheep tonight to bring it back. Come out. Let him alone.
62-0119 An Ensign
You don't know what you can do till you let the Holy Spirit get ahold of you.
60-0522 Adoption #4
But God will make your body obey your confession.
50-0419E Show Us The Father And It Will Satisfy Us
Let me say this, if you count me a fanatic from this night on. That very same thing that I'm speaking of will be done. There'll be a power put into the Church, and now is coming in, that the Holy Spirit will so anoint the people, till they'll speak the Word and It'll create Itself right there. We haven't seen powers like's coming into the Church now. I know it for a fact.
60-0312 Hear Ye Him
There you are. Consider not your own body. Consider not the diseases, for they are of the devil. Right. Consider God's promise.
52-0224 Believing God
And as the waters pushed on, after while Jesus spoke and said, "Be not afraid. It's I."
Peter said, "If It's You, Lord, give me just a little test."
And ask and you shall receive. So He gave him the test, and when he tried to do it in himself, he failed, and every other man will fail. He got his eyes off of Jesus and begin to look how big the waves was. When he seen the waves were contrary, he begin to sink. And every man that will look at his affliction after being prayed for is sure to sink.

All right, sir. You need a blood transfusion from Calvary, it cures diabetes and everything.
64-0122 Looking Unto Jesus
We had one of those nights not long ago up in Lima, Ohio. And oh, how the Lord did honor them prayers for the sick, and the great things that our Lord Jesus did.
Now, I am trying to get the people to believe God on a higher base than that: To accept Him without having anyone touch you. It's you touching Him. You see, if--if I would put my hands on you and pray for you, it seems like then you could say, "Brother Branham laid his hands on me." But, that ain't the idea. I want you to be able to say, "No one touched me, but Him." I--I... That's the way I want it to be done. Give Him the praise.
57-0305 Divine Love
The devil can't set a foot on you to hurt you, until first you get away from God. You must first remember that. Check when anything happens, see if you're in the faith or not, see that if you're right up to place with God; then remember, the devil can do you no harm; you're in Christ.
61-1231E If God Be With Us Then Where Is All The Miracles
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
I Peter 4:12-14
Those things are put upon us, trials and wonderings; it's testing to see how we will react on a action.
62-1223 The Reproach For The Cause Of The Word
Remember, we are not on a picnic, but we're in a battlefield. Many people just think that when they become a Christian that that's all they need to do, that that settles it forever, as they are a Christian and everything's going to come easy. Don't never get that in your head. For I become a Christian to fight, fight the good fight of faith. I become a Christian to get in the battle lines.
59-0628M A Deceived Church By The World
You know, you take a tree, a big old tree. I... When I was a boy, I used to go out, and we'd, us boys we'd go out, and had a big old tree we used to set under, a big old beech tree. And the winds would blow; and I'd wonder, looked like that thing, so much in the top looked like it'd blow the--the thing over. But you know, every time wind blows on a tree, it rocks the tree, and it loosens up the roots, so that they can just dig deeper and get a better hold.
And that's the way mockery, laughing, making fun of a Christian, what it does is, persecution shakes the Christian to make him pray more, dig down, get a better hold, so he can stand the storms.
62-0422 The Restoration Of The Bride Tree
And why does God let troubles come? God harnesses trouble, puts bits in its mouth, and makes it obey Him, and those troubles bring us into a closer fellowship with God.
60-0417S I Know
The Bible said, "All that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." So if--if you're not suffering persecutions for Christ's sake, then there's something wrong.
62-0123 Forsaking All
But not only is the candlestick of gold, it is of BEATEN gold. Hand-crafted of beaten gold, according to her blue prints which were Spirit-given. Outside of her Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, was ever a people so beaten and purged as the bride of Jesus Christ? Surely she is filling up the sufferings that Christ has left behind. Her goods are despoiled. Her life is in jeopardy. She is accounted as sheep for the slaughter. She is killed all the day long. She suffers much, but in it all retaliates not, neither does she cause others to suffer. Worthy of the Gospel is this lovely bride of Christ. And as gold is malleable, whereas brass will break with the beating, this gold of God will bear her suffering for the Lord, not bowed, not broken, not destroyed, but formed as a thing of beauty and a joy forever by the trials and testings of this life.
Ephesian Church Age, Pg 81
Now, Satan will constantly punch at you until you're finished on earth. Just remember that.
61-0618 Revelation Chapter Five #2
I found it in my life's journey, and especially in my ministry, that when Satan makes a big fight, he knows there's a great blessing laying ahead. So it's always at those times that we like to go on.
59-0405 The Queen Of Sheba
And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
II Timothy 4:18
