Thank the Lord for another opportunity when we can all come together to hear the Message of the hour, and make ourselves ready for His soon coming.
I have felt led to begin our service on Sundays at 2:00 P.M., like we did for the Seven Seals. I have spoken to the deacons about this and explained that there are several reasons I have felt to start service at this time. I have heard from several families about how they liked that schedule, as it gives them all morning to prepare for service. The ones with families are not so rushed in the mornings, and it still gives everyone the evenings to study the Message we heard. There are also many families that have to travel several miles in order to be in service with us.
As you know there are many churches and individuals from around the world that stream our services to be united with us. Many have expressed how they wake up in the very early morning so they can stream the services live. They know they can hear the service the next day by downloading it, but feel to be a part of the live streaming, which we are so thankful for them to be a part. By starting at this time, it will be a great blessing to them, as well as our African and European brothers and sisters as they too have expressed to me that this is a real good time for them also.
We will try this time for the next few services to see if this is the mind of the Lord and how it works for everyone. Please let me know your feelings by email: vogr@branham.org, or speaking to the deacons and letting them know your feelings and thoughts.
Bro. Joseph
Brothers and Sisters,
We have another great opportunity tonight to all come together from around the world to meet at His Throne in prayer.
I pray your prayer life is getting greater and greater as He is showing us that our personal time with Him will give us that closer walk with Him that we all desire.
JMB
Brothers & Sisters,
I am so happy to hear all the wonderful testimonies coming from having our Wednesday night Home Prayer Meetings. Truly the Lord is moving and we are gaining a deeper prayer life than we’ve ever had before. It is another step in fulfilling the scripture, Revelation 19:7
If the Lord is willing, let us try to come together from around the world at 10:00 A.M., Jeffersonville time, to hear that Stored Up Food that has been provided for us. I would like for all of us to hear the Message: How Can I Overcome 63-0825M.
What a wonderful time we will have, gathered together around the Throne of God to hear the Message of the hour at our home tape meetings.
Let us remember, Sunday is a day we give to the Lord. We have six other days to do the many things that we want, or need to do, but this day is dedicated for Him.
Let us get desperate before Him, pray for one another, love one another, and seek to be more like Him.
Bro. Joseph
Brothers and Sisters,
I have been hearing wonderful reports about the prayer meetings, and how each one is drawing closer to the Lord. Praise His wonderful Name!
This truly should be a time of Desperation for the Bride of Christ around the world. As Brother Branham said,
Or, otherwise, the days that we're living in should cause the Church to go completely into desperation. I believe, since the message this morning from God, not me, I believe it ought to throw this entire congregation into desperation, that we have played long enough. We've went to church long enough. We got to do something.
That quote is for us, TODAY, and I know you feel as I do, I want that sense of desperation to be within me ALL THE TIME…constantly watching and waiting for His Coming. If the Bride could get Herself to that place, then the Millennium would be on. Lord help us to be more sincere, and more desperate for You.
As you may already know, I have been waiting until after the Still Waters Camps to announce the final vacation time for VGR. We will be closed next week, September 11 – 17, and thus we will not be having services this Sunday, September 10th, or Wednesday, September 13th. Our next service is scheduled for Sunday, September 17th.
I will certainly look forward to the next time we can assemble ourselves together again to feast on the Spiritual Food for our day. Until then may God richly bless you, and keep us consecrated in the Word, on our knees, and desperate before Him.
Bro. Joseph
Brothers and Sisters,
Once again, Father’s timing is perfect. It was another wonderful afternoon with Him Sunday evening as we heard Spiritual Food in due season, and then gathered around His Table. Communion is such a special time for us at the Tabernacle. You can just feel His presence, and feel such love for Him, and one another. How thankful we are to have His prophet conduct the Communion Service for us.
We are in Desperation like never before…
You can't be desperate till God speaks to you. Oh, Church, rise and shake yourself! Pinch your conscience, wake yourself up, in this hour! We must be desperate, or perish! There is coming forth something from the Lord!
I know it as THUS SAITH THE LORD. There is coming forth something, and we better get desperate. It's between Life and death. It'll pass through us and we won't see it.
What a Message from God to us, His Bride! Lord, let us get desperate like never before. Let it not be words only, but may it become a reality, and let’s pray like never before. Let nothing hinder us from placing You first in all things, praying, and always seeking Your Perfect will in our lives.
What another confirmation we had last Thursday that we are in His Will, with our Wednesday night home prayer meeting:
“Yes. I’ve been watching them all night long.” Amen. His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. Amen. Yes.
I’ve watched them all night long. I heard them in the prayer meeting last night. I heard them when they prayed through and they struck heaven here, with their prayers. I’m watching them. I know when they got one more step to go. I been watching them all night long. I can’t let you go because it’s a man-size job. I’m going Myself.” Amen. Hallelujah.
I pray you have been enjoying these times with Him, and it is drawing you more closer to Him than you have ever been in your life.
I also pray that He is showing you this is His will for us at this time!
Once again, I feel upon my heart to have another home prayer meeting tonight. Remember to pray for one another. Not only the ones you are close to and love, but even more so for the ones you might have differences with, maybe those you don’t see eye to eye with, or maybe have hurt you. When Love projects, GRACE takes over.
The desire of our hearts is to have the Spirit of CHRIST. If we don’t put these things into action, apply that Token, and that love doesn’t enter our hearts, we’re going to be wandering in the wilderness for another 40 years. We can see the promise Land, let’s enter in.
Bro. Joseph
