WHAT.HEAREST.THOU.ELIJAH_ LA.CA SUNDAY_ 59-0412E Did you ever hear the day break? No, you never heard the day break, yet it's scatters all the darkness. If we would only listen to the voice of Him that speaks behind these things...We've had rushing winds, and thunder, and everything else. But the hour is coming now that the voice of God speaks. And He proves that's Him. It was Him that sent the thunder. And they went after the thunder instead of listening for the voice. He sent the wind, but they went after the wind instead of the voice. Bro. William Branham
If Jesus came to your house
If Jesus came to your house To spend some time with you, If He came unexpected, I wonder what you'd do.
Oh, I know you'd give your nicest room To such an honored guest And all the food you'd give to Him Would be the very best.
And you would keep assuring Him You're glad to have Him there-- That serving Him in your home Is joy beyond compare.
But when you saw Him coming, Would you meet Him at the door With arms outstretched in welcome To your heavenly visitor?
Or would you have to change your clothes Before you let Him in Or hide some magazines And put the Bible where they'd been
Would you hide your worldly music and put some hymn books out? Could you let Jesus walk right in, or would you rush about?
And I wonder - if the Saviour spent a day or two with you, Would you go right on doing, the things you always do?
Would you go right on saying, the things you always say? Or would life for you continue as it does from day to day?
Would you take Jesus with you everywhere you go? Or would you maybe change your plans for just a day or so?
Would you be glad to have Him meet your closest friends? Or would you hope they stay away, until His visit ends?
Would you be glad to have Him stay forever on and on? Or would you sigh with great relief when He at last was gone?
It might be interesting to know, the things that you would do, If Jesus came in person, to spend some time with you.
“Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right” Abraham Lincoln
Night and day I pondered until I saw the connection between the justice of God and the statement that 'the just shall live by his faith.' Then I grasped that the justice of God is that righteousness by which through grace and sheer mercy God justifies us through faith. Thereupon I felt myself to be reborn and to have gone through open doors into paradise. ~~ Martin Luther
Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I founded empires; but upon what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ alone founded his empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for him. ~~Napoleon Bonaparte
God created the world out of nothing, and so long as we are nothing, He can make something out of us. ~~Martin Luther
It is a sure sign that we are out of communion with God if we are talking more of the joy and peace and power we had in the past, than of what we have today. We are told to "grow in grace"; but a great many are growing the wrong way. The Israelites used to gather the manna fresh every day: they were not allowed to store it up. There is a lesson here for us. If we would be strong and vigorous, we must go to God daily. A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough today to last him for the next six months, or take sufficient air into his lungs at once to sustain life for a week to come. We must draw upon God's boundless stores of grace from day to day as we need it. ~~ Dwight Moody
We hear nowadays so much about "culture." Culture's alright when you have something to cultivate. If I should plant a watch, I shouldn't get any little watches would I? Why? Because the seed of life is not there. But let me plant some peas or potatoes, and I will get a crop. Don't let any man or woman rest short of being born of the Spirit of God. Don't cultivate a dead and corrupt thing, first make sure that you have that divine nature, then cultivate it. ~~ Dwight Moody
THE.WORLD.IS.AGAIN.FALLING.APART_ SHP.LA V-17 N-4 WEDNESDAY_ 63-1127 And the last name goes on that Book, or, the last name that's redeemed, that was put on that Book, that settles it, He comes to claim what He redeemed. And it might be a strange time. Did you ever think: people will go right on preaching, the church will go right on even thinking they're getting people saved. It's too late then, it's all over, see, and the Message will go to the totally lost; just like it did in the days of Noah, seven days in the ark. It did in the days of Sodom. Jesus Himself, His third stage of His ministry, He went and preached to souls that were Eternally lost, that were in prison, that repented not, the long-suffering in the days of Noah. And we don't know what time these things might happen. And let's be warned. Don't just stand around, let's do something about it. If we're not right with God, let's get right with God. ~~ William Branham
Goodness is the only investment that never fails.

THE.UNVEILING.OF.GOD_ JEFF.IN V-9 N-1 SUNDAY_ 64-0614M Moses had the Word. Now remember, after the Word was made manifest, Moses was Moses again. See? But while that Word was in him to be give out, he was God; well, he wasn't Moses no more. He had the Word of the Lord for that age. Nothing could touch him till that was over; had that Word with him. So, therefore, when he come, the people turned their heads; they couldn't understand. They had been changed. He was a different fellow. He come with that Word. "And he put a veil," the Bible said, "over his face," for he had the Word. And he was the Word to them. ~~ William Branham
The best portion of a good man's life is his little nameless, unencumbered acts of kindness and of love.
- Wordsworth

So much has been given to me, I have not time to ponder over that which has been denied. - Helen Keller
I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show,
Or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, Let me do it now, as I shall not pass this way again.
- William Penn
