That's a great testimony! That's how I heard the Message too.
Before my husband and I were married, I was interested in this guy from a Message church, and he told me he couldn't date me because I wasn't a Christian, though I believed I was. I asked him many questions about his church, but he would never tell me anything, so I started doing my own research online, looking at all kinds of "cult outreach" stuff to try and help him out of his "cult" and just believe the Word of God.
I wanted to hear for myself what this "Brother Branham" preached, but before I listened, I prayed, "Lord please protect me from what I'm about to listen to and don't let me get sucked into any cult!"
To my surprise EVERY WORD was the TRUTH, the most perfect preaching of the Word, just as pure and unadulterated as can be. I'd never heard anything like it. I began listening a lot and it was changing my life. Unfortunately that all stopped when I joined his church and stopped listening to tapes. He ended up leaving the Message and never came back. They said that we shouldn't listen to anything before 1963, and we needed "fresh manna." I could never understand that. I was in misery for years.
But it started again five years later when I got rebaptized, and started listening again (and then got kicked out of the church). As I cried and prayed and listened to the Message, I kept hearing the story of the eagle born with the chickens and couldn't fit in. He didn't even know he could fly until he heard the mama eagle's cry! After hearing the same story in about 6 or 7 different messages in a row, I finally caught on to what the Lord was trying to tell me!
My life was revolutionized as I listened to Messages like "Leadership" and "Anointed Ones at the End Time." By His Grace, I believe that He's letting me see things more clearly. I was lonely for a while and struggled with the fact that I had no church and needed fellowship, but the Lord has blessed me with many other brothers and sisters from across the continent who have also taken their stand for this Message.
It's funny how God can stop you dead in your tracks when you're out to prove this Message wrong and open your eyes, even when you thought you already knew everything. He shows ya right quickly that you DONT!

I would just like to send you this quote that set my heart on FIRE with joy and thankfulness:
These fellows went in there, these messengers, and--and caught that predestinated seed that believed. She used her house for a church, to receive these messengers. They wouldn't let them in them churches. No, sir. See? So she...
They won't let you, either. They kick you out if you say anything about It. Yeah. See?
They got all in her city, that would believe, under the token.
That's exactly what we better do today. If you want some loved one saved, you had better get them in right now. See?
