Message Glossary

65-0815  AND.KNOWETH.IT.NOT_  JEFF.IN

19    When a pastor is satisfied, and the people is satisfied, it makes a real good church, and then God is satisfied. And I think, to see them satisfied together, especially in this day of the Message that we're carrying, I think that shows the continuity of the Message with the people and with God. See?

105    So, God is complete in the tri-unity of a Being; not tri-unity of beings, but One Being in a tri-unity. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is one true manifested God. God!

62-1104M  BLASPHEMOUS.NAMES_  JEFF.IN

82    Well, all these systems, that men has made in their achievement has got to break up. That's all. They have to come... We have to come to unity, to brotherhood. That's been my purpose of life is to try to unite and not break up an organization, but let them drop their ideas, and be brothers to every born-again Christian. You see? That, that's the idea. That's where I've stood, well, now, if the brethren would notice it. I...

62-0211  ONENESS_  JEFF.IN

102 That's the same thing they try to do today. See, the husband, wife, the union broken. Husband and wife, fellowship was broken between them. The oneness of them was broken, the oneness between them and God was broken. The whole thing was marred. Why? Because one Word was disbelieved. Oh, brother, my! Yeah, she should have told the Truth. The oneness with her and her husband was gone, and the oneness of them and God was gone. And every church that doesn't take the whole of God's Word, the same thing happens. I love It, don't you?

112    It's the same thing today, separating, separated, found them, they were not in unity. They could have no unity. Can night have unity with day? Can a believer have unity with an infidel? Can a man who believes in all the Word of God have a unity with them who just believes part of the Word of God? God wants separators.

157  The disciples, even walking with Jesus, they didn't have no oneness. They didn't have any unity. No, they argued, "Who's going to be bishop after this. Who's the greatest among us?" They couldn't even believe Jesus. They couldn't understand Him. "Thou speakest in riddles. Tell us plainly what You mean." There was no unity between Jesus and the disciples, or disciples to Jesus, and the disciples among one another.

65-1125  THE.INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE.OF.CHRIST_  SHREVEPORT.LA 

289    Look at the condition, Lot, that Sodom was in, in that day. Look, condition the church of the day. Look what happened to Abraham, the Elected.

290    Look what happened to Lot and them down in Sodom. Look at the Billy Graham and Oral Roberts, them down there amongst those denomination. Look at the elected Abraham Church, pulled out.

291       Look what kind of sign, that Jesus Himself, the incarnated God standing there in human flesh.

65-0911  GOD'S.POWER.TO.TRANSFORM_  PHOENIX.AZ

168       Pardon this expression. If anybody's feelings is hurt by this, I don't mean it. A couple of Sunday's ago I was invited, by my own daughter, to come in to a television set and to watch a religious singing. It's at Sunday morning. I wanted to hear Oral Roberts on his program, I told them to let me know. Said, "You hear this, this is a great hymn sing." My son standing there, told me about it, too. And I turned that set...

65-0801E  EVENTS.MADE.CLEAR.BY.PROPHECY_  JEFFERSONVILLE.IN

135       We believe that Thy Word is Truth, Lord. Let us just see, before we start this prayer line, Lord, make Yourself known to us. As You said, "As it was in the days of Lot," when Abraham, that called-out group waiting for a promised son, Lot was down there hearing a modern Billy Graham and an Oral Roberts to that denominational setup down there, as a nation. But Abraham was a sojourner without any organization, just this little group wandering about through the land that he was to heir. "And the meek shall inherit the earth." One day, under the shade tree, while they were sitting, resting, God came down in the form of a Man. Two angels went down into Sodom. And God, in human flesh, proved that He was, He said, "Abraham, where is thy wife, Sarah?" A few days before that, he was Abram; and S-a-r-r-a, Sarra; not Sarah, "princess." And You called her by her princess name, the daughter of a king. You called Abraham by his name, Abraham, a father of nations. And You said, "I am going to visit you."

65-0711  ASHAMED_  JEFFERSONVILLE.IN

44    Billy Graham notices it; Oral Roberts. Mr. Allen had some trouble, as you know. Oral Roberts has got that fifty-million-dollar buildings, and so forth, in there. He's got a school. And, well, nobody on the field now.

65-0221M  MARRIAGE.AND.DIVORCE_  JEFFERSONVILLE.IN

47    Like it--it was once said of one, of the Billy Graham part, said, "We can see Billy Graham, 'cause all churches are united together for him. We see Oral Roberts, the Pentecostals. But how do we ever have anything, when It's contrary to what people have been taught?" It's God.

65-0218  THE.SEED.IS.NOT.HEIR.WITH.THE.SHUCK_  JEFFERSONVILLE.IN

Now I have a Message that I'm responsible for.

27       When the Message first started out, it was, of course, everybody; was praying for the sick, great signs, wonders, and miracles. That started, especially in the Pentecostal people, a universal revival of a healing campaigns that swept the world. For fifteen solid years there's been revivals on every hill there is, I suppose, revival fires a burning. Literally millions have accepted Christ as their Saviour, by that one commission. That inspired, from there, to Oral Roberts, and so forth, and on and on, as it's went around.

28    After, the Pentecostal church is laying in its dead slump, as it was then.

64-0412  A.COURT.TRIAL_  BIRMINGHAM.AL

1       And I hope to be back someday, if Jesus tarries. Now I guess you wonder why... Someone said the other day... I stood by a very famous man. I love the man. There is no need in me call, not to call his name. He was my, one of my bosom friends, Oral Roberts. Oral come to my meeting. Brother Jack Moore was along. He had a little, ragged tent setting up across the field, over there on the--on the east side of Kansas City, and I was over in an auditorium something a little bigger than this. And he come over, sit on the sideline, said, "Brother Branham, do you think God would hear my prayer?"

I said, "He'll hear anybody's prayer."

16       And the other day I stood and looked at his building, and, oh, my, a million and a half dollars, or something, in it. And I looked over there, Oral was standing there. I was waiting. I had been up. Oral was so nice, and all of them, showing me around. Real nice brothers!

64-0401  THE.IDENTIFIED.CHRIST.OF.ALL.AGES_  LOUISVILLE.MS

158       Down there in Sodom, we seen what taken place. And you know we've never... Now, there, Lot was a type of the church natural, down in Sodom, the organization, and they got a messenger down there. There was a couple of messengers went down there, a modern Billy Graham and Oral Roberts. And do you know what? There never has been a time, in the church history, where a man was ever sent universal to the church, with his name ending with h-a-m, till this time. Billy G-r-a-h-a-m, six letters. A-b-r-a-h-a-m is seven letters. But Billy G-r-a-h-a-m is right out there in Sodom, a banging away and calling them out.

64-0126  WHAT.SHALL.WE.DO.WITH.THIS.JESUS.CALLED.CHRIST_  PHOENIX.AZ

25    And before, while you're turning, I'd like to announce that our brother, Oral Roberts, is going to be down in Jerusalem, also, next Friday night, so you all want to come. You say, "Where?" Somebody said Florida was a promised land, I guess I can call Tucson, Jerusalem. Phoenix is in the valley, see, and Jericho was just down the valley from Jerusalem. I'll never get out of here like that, will I? Brother Oral Roberts speaks next Friday night and I'm sure you'll all be glad to hear him. We'll be glad to have you down.

62-1014M  THE.STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_  JEFFERSONVILLE.IN

106       How many, anybody, ever hear Oral Roberts this morning, when he was preaching this morning, Oral Roberts? I--I heard him say something or other about that there was a faith, that of deliverance, praying the prayer of faith, of deliverance. He said, "Make your contact by touching radio, make your contact by touching something, in order..." The man was doing that, so that it would give the people something that they could put their hands on. Something, you say, "I got it now, because he told me to touch my radio. I got it." See? Now, that's all right. But, now, real genuine faith doesn't have to touch none of that stuff. Now, I'm not condemning Brother Oral, not at all. He's doing a great work, and a godly man, and I--I sure think a lot of Oral Roberts. Too bad we ain't got more of them.

107    But what I'm trying to say, that--that, faith doesn't need anything. See? Faith believes God's Word. For faith cometh by "touching"? No. "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing the Word of God." That anchors it. It's there. See? And faith, as it said, has no distance to it. Faith is right now. Faith is here.

62-0318  THE.SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED.1_  JEFFERSONVILLE.IN

279       Now, there has been three different kinds of seeds planted. A denominational, Billy Graham, he was the head planter. Oral Roberts, for the Pentecostals. Pentecostal seed has been planted; I'm talking about organization now. And, then, the Word has been planted. Now you'll have to understand, folks. I ain't saying this no more unless God tells me. I want you to get this good and clear. Three seeds has been planted.

280    That's the reason, the planting, it's about over. See? It's all over. Seeds must be planted before the Rain falls. That right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Or, otherwise, the Spirit. Now you're going to disagree there, but hold on just a minute. See? Seeds must be planted; and then the Rain falls, to water the Seed. Is that right? ["Amen."] Now I want...

281    Is there anybody in here that understands Hebrew, knows Hebrew words? All right. You look it up if you want to.

59-0301M  STRAIT.IS.THE.GATE_  JEFFERSONVILLE.IN

3       I see Oral's post card. I guess you've already announced his meetings. I didn't know it until, the dates, until yesterday. I think it begins on the sixth, doesn't it? Sixth through the fifteenth, Brother Roberts in Louisville. Now, go hear him. Brother Roberts is a--a bosom friend of mine and a real servant of Christ. And I'm sure you'll enjoy his messages night after night. And the... As he prays for the sick, I'm--I'm sure that you'll see God move, because he is a great warrior of faith, Brother Roberts is, and a Go--man who God is using mightily. And his ministry has climbed from...

53-0329  ISRAEL.AND.THE.CHURCH.5_  JEFFERSONVILLE.IN

23       Everybody always told me Oral Roberts would pray for five hundred while I prayed for two. But I'm not Oral Roberts. God gave me a ministry; He give Oral one. Whatever Oral does, he just pass them through and lay hands on them like that. That's the way God told him to do it. I've got to stand and see the thing through.

60-1207  THE.PERGAMEAN.CHURCH.AGE_  JEFF.IN 

255  Look! What was Babylon? Who founded Babylon? Nimrod. What did he do? He made one big tower in a big city, and made all the other cities pay tribute to this city. Organization! That's the backgrounds of it. Sure. Come right over here in the church age and organized again, and brought the whole nations into it. And right here It said, "The whore that made all the nations drink of the wine of her fornications." Her adultery she was committing, claiming to be a "Christian" and giving out such stuff as that: catechisms, prayer books, and everything else. And the Protestants come right along, the same thing, just following right in her tracks.

65-1127B TRYING.TO.DO.GOD.A.SERVICE.WITHOUT.IT.BEING.GOD'S.WILL_  SHREVEPORT.LA

284    So do every one of you that's baptized in the name of the "Father, Son, Holy Ghost," on these other issues of the Bible that's supposed to be in this day, you know what to do about It, is accept It! When you see God plainly vindicate "It's the Truth," that's God interpreting His Own Word. But will you do it? No, your organization won't let you do it!

289  And any man that builds anything, any organization, or anything outside of upon the Word of God, it's shaking sands and will fall! It'll die as sure as anything, because the Word of God is a growing Body of the Bride. You can't have it all foot, all arm, all thigh. These things come in their season.

65-1031M  POWER.OF.TRANSFORMATION_  PRESCOTT.AZ

149  And so is scientific religion! It takes the Word of God and makes a church organization out of it, instead of doing the things that it's supposed to do.

They say, "The days of miracles is passed."

The Bible said, "He is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

"There is no such a thing as Divine healing."

65-0725M  THE.ANOINTED.ONES.AT.THE.END.TIME_  JEFF.IN

61 Notice. Remember, God is not the author of organization. The Devil is the author of organization. I've proved that by the Word, back and forth, and over and over; won't have to go into that this morning. We know that God never did organize people together like that, make a organization. Hundreds of years after the death of the last disciple, 'fore they ever had the first organization. It's always proved a failure. If it isn't, why ain't we together in love today, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Catholic and all? Why ain't the works of God following us, then, every church on the same thing, the Word? Those things that separate man, brotherhood... We're farther from God than we ever was, the churches, speaking of.
