Dear Bible Believers,
What a glorious day we are living in. Our hearts burn within us as He speaks to us daily along the way. Christ has been revealed to us by His Word. It is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the Word Himself made manifest in flesh. It is the Voice of God calling out His Bride.
We have an ultimate, the last word, our Absolute; it is His Word, the Bible. Now if the “Bible” is our Absolute, let us see what the prophet said the Bible was.
He said God wrote the Bible only by using the prophets. That was His way of doing it. That was the way He had of bringing His Word to the people: through the lips of His prophets. His Word only came to the prophet.
The prophet had his mind set constantly on what God said; not what man thought, what the age thought, what the church thought, what the kingdom thought, but what God thought! He only expressed God’s thoughts to Word. When God revealed His thoughts to him, he expressed It by the written Word.
So, the whole Bible is not the words of man, neither was It wrote by man, brought by man, or neither can It be revealed by man. It is God’s Word revealed by God Himself, His Own Interpreter. His Word.
Now these prophets said, “It’s not me. I have nothing to do with it, but it’s THUS SAITH THE LORD.” So, the Bible is THUS SAITH THE LORD by the prophets. These prophets not only spoke and wrote the Word, but he also was the ONLY Divine interpreter of that written Word.
So, the Bible is the very thoughts of God written by the prophets. The prophet is the only divine interpreter of the Bible. The Message, the Word, the Bible and the messenger are the same. Thus, we will be judged by the interpretation of the Bible spoken by the prophet.
“You were sent, for a leader. And God will come. And when He does, He’ll judge you according to what you taught them, first, whether they go in or not. We’ll go in according to your teaching.”
WHAT did he just say? He will be judged first by what HE taught us. We can ONLY enter in according to HIS teachings. So how important is it just to say what is on the tapes as we will be judged by HIS WORD ON TAPE; which is the interpretation of the Bible. Are you going to trust your Eternal destination on what some man says? Not the Bride!! What are we going to do and say?
And all of them screamed with one accord, “We know that! We’re resting with assurance.”
So, the Bride is resting on every Word the prophet spoke, which was the interpretation of the thoughts of God written by prophets, and in these last days spoke by God Himself through the lips His prophet.
“You will present us to Him, and then we’ll all go back to earth again, to live forever.”
Oh brothers and sisters, wake up before it’s too late. This is His last call. Open your heart and see how you must be listening to the Voice of God on tape. If we’re going to be judged by the Message God spoke through His messenger on tape, how can you not see how important, and the only way to be correct and line up with His Word, is by hearing the Voice of God on tape.
Yes, God has called the 5-fold ministry, but they have to place the importance on hearing the tapes more than their ministry. I’m not saying your pastor can not preach or teach. I’m not saying stop going to church; you should go to church, but when your pastor is not putting the tapes, the Voice of God which you will be judged by, first, before you to hear, you have on the wrong filter.
Ask yourself, when a minister tells you, you should only play tapes in your home and not in church, does that even make sense? Surely, you’re not that deceived. The very Voice and Word you are going to be judged by should ONLY be heard in your homes and not in church? Brother Branham never said Play tapes in church, but you should only listen to me as your pastor when you come to church. Do you have any revelation at all?
What could be more important when coming together in your church to worship the Lord, to grow in understanding of the Word, to get closer to God, than to be ripened by hearing the ONLY…ONLY vindicated Voice of God.
Can you imagine Joshua telling all of Israel, I know we have the exact words Moses spoke, but Moses never said when we come together that we should read his writings. I’m leading you now and I will tell you the words of Moses.
And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.
In other words, if Joshua would have had a tape recorder in his day, when he gathered the people together he would PRESS PLAY.
Malachi 4 has come with THUS SAITH THE LORD, and you are going to be judged by every word that was spoken on the tapes. This Message is your filter. Listen and live, refuse and die.
How can we take a chance when our Eternal destination is in question? We need to be constantly hearing the Word; in our homes, in our cars, doing the laundry, teaching our children, washing our cars, taking a hike, and most importantly, gathering in our churches.
You are welcome to join a portion of His Bride, that believes EVERY WORD on the tapes, as we hear the Message: A Thinking Man’s Filter 65-0822E, Sunday at 2:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time. Or encourage your pastor to play a tape in your church so you too can hear the very Voice that is going to introduce you to our Lord Jesus Christ, and then we’ll go back to earth again to live forever. IT DOESN’T GET BETTER THAN THAT.
Bro. Joseph Branham
