The First Pull, healing;

Second Pull, prophesying;

Third Pull, the opening of the Word,

the mysteries revealed.

 

PRESENT.STAGE.OF.MY.MINISTRY.title  JEFF.IN  V-11 N-2  62-0908

And, brethren who's listening to this on tape,

 I was a great guy when I come among you just healing the sick,

speaking of visions, and showing things.

 But when I went to tell you the Truth

about the Word,

what did you turn your back on me for?

 Do you realize it's just

fulfilling what the Scripture said?

Yeah,

it does that way.

Now, I can hardly get in a place.

MALACHI 4:4-6

  4       Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the statutes and judgments.

  5    Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

  6    And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

BASIS.OF.FELLOWSHIP.title  LONG.BEACH.CA  61-0214

"Brother Branham, Brother Branham, you think I got a gift of healing?"

I said,

"Look, Tommy,

 after this revival starting like this,

 they'll be so many Divine healers in the land."

 I said,

"It'll be pitiful;

it'll be so the people won't even won't have a meeting

 unless you got a Divine healing."

 See,

 Divine healing is a minor,

you could never

major with the minor.

See?

 

2

JAIRUS.THE.SECRET.BELIEVER.title  MACON.GA  55-0604

  If you'll notice about eighty percent of Jesus' ministry was Divine healing,

 But

Divine healing

is like the bait that's on the hook.

 You don't

show the fish the hook.

You show him the bait,

so he gets the bait and the hook too.

 

BROTHER BRANHAM THE FISHERMAN

 

 

MATTHEW 4:19

  19    And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

WHY.ARE.PEOPLE.SO.TOSSED.ABOUT.title  JEFF  V-2 N-14  56-0101

  And at that,

the Angel of The Lord taken me out then,

and He taken me to a real bright stream of water.

 It was the most beautiful blue water; and great fish were swimming around in it.

He said,

"I will make you a fisher."

And He said,

 "Now, cast your lure into the water;

and when you do, pull it slow, first time; and the next time, just give it a little jerk,

 not too hard; and the next time,

set your hook for the catch."

+

He said,

"Now,

the

 first time

I spoke with you,

you put your hands on the people and told them what was wrong with them.

And the second pull,

 why, when you did, you would know the secrets of their hearts.

And I made you a seer before the people.

[FIRST AND SECOND PULL]

 

"There would be three stages of this ministry”.

UNCERTAIN.SOUND.title  JEFF.IN  V-16 N-3  60-1218

How many ever remembers when Elijah Perry was raised from the dead that morning, some of you over here?

You seen it in the paper here, many times.

+

I was standing there when that man died.

 He lives right out here now, comes to church once in a while, testifies of it.

He had been dead several hours.

 He died with hemorrhages of the lungs, and he was so bloody all over.

And I walked away; I was just a young preacher, those days.

+

And he was just as bloody as he could be, where he died. And his eyes was turned back, and his throat had bulged out. And they pulled a sheet over his head. And his wife was out there. They were crying, and trying to get addresses to call the loved ones.

And I started to walk away from the bed, and I felt Somebody lay Their hand on me.

 I thought it was Sister Shafiner. And when I turned, there was nobody around me. And then I started... It left me when I turned around.

And Brother Elij' was laying there dead.

+

And before I knowed what I was doing, I was laying on top of that man, with my lips against his lips. I was as bloody as he was, laying there on that man, crying out to God. And I felt something come up around the side of my ear; it was his hand.

And you've heard him stand right here and testify of it. See? How he...

And he come back to life.

+

 Then I read the other night of where Irenaeus, I believe it was, or Saint Martin, that laid his body across his friend, after being hung. Now, that's history. And laid on him for an hour, and the man come to life.

+

And I see in the Bible where Elijah laid his body across a dead baby's body, and it come to life. I think of the little boy yonder in Finland, when he was laying there dead, laying on the side of the road.

+

And in America here, they, we got it wrote out here in--in "Reader's Digest," where they had examined for Divine healing. And they took a brother that prayed for the sick, and had a sick man, and had him praying for the sick. And then put a piece of lead foil (anyone knows, lead foil reflects that ray) upon, between the man and the man that was praying, the brother, his hand; and laid it down like this, and shot the picture of x-ray. And from the man's hand, showed a visible reflection of a ray coming out of his hand, going to the other man. See, that's right.

God knew what He meant when He said,

 "They shall lay hands on the sick, they shall recover."

Laying on of hands, of this man, upon a sick man, and the mechanical x-ray (O God.) showing the Light coming from the man's hand. How can people be so stupid to say there's no such a thing as Divine healing?

WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS.title  BLOOMINGTON.IL  61-0409

But yet, as Dr. F. F. Bosworth one of my managers was in foreign fields with me,

just went

Home to glory,

eighty-four years old. He was...

He said,

"Brother Branham, Divine healing is like the bait you put on a hook to catch a fish.

You never show the fish the hook;

you show him the bait.

 He grabs the bait and gets the hook, so that's the way it does.

 

5

GREATER.THAN.SOLOMON.IS.HERE.title  PORT.ALBERNI.BC  62-0725

Said,

 "You never show the fish the hook;

you show him the bait.

He grabs the bait and gets the hook."

 

“Just turn the picture from this (the way they had it),

this a-way, the way it's supposed to be.

 And you...”

 

6

THIRD.EXODUS.title  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-21  63-0630M

God always goes in threes.

He's perfect in threes.

You all notice my preaching; it's always threes and sevens.

Seven is a complete;

threes is His perfection.

 First, Second, and Third Pull

 

 

"There would be three stages of this ministry”.

 

 

7

JESUS.CHRIST.THE.SAME.title  DAWSON.CREEK.BC  61-0519

Divine healing is a minor.

 

8

QA.ON.THE.SEALS.title  JEFF.IN  63-0324M

[1963]

Of all the times that I've been behind the pulpit at the Tabernacle,

I have never, never in any time of my ministry ever worked into the realms of God and

 the spiritual realms as it's been this time.

Yeah,

 it's beyond anything I ever did in any time of my ministry,

 in any meeting at anywhere like this.

 Mostly, it's on healing;

this is

revealing of Truth

by the same Spirit

(See?)

same Spirit.

 

9

SIXTH.SEAL.THE.title  JEFF.IN  63-0323

Just exactly like them reformers could not understand this Word, because that was the spirit of the man sent to them.

It's the eagle age that gets the

Word and the revelation.

All that understands that, raise up your hands, so I... See? That's good. That's fine. See, that's good.

 

10

FIFTH.SEAL.THE.title  JEFF.IN  63-0322

Now, you just study the ages, study the Scriptures, it's a eagle.

 And in the Bible the

last age was an eagle age,

 and God likens the eagle to His prophets. See? It...

 Now, watch.

 The last age, the eagle age-

-a revealer of the true Word.

11

INVISIBLE.UNION.OF.THE.BRIDE.title  SHP.LA  V-2 N-15  65-1125

It's--it's--it's on,

the move is on for the Bride.

That's the Truth.

That's THUS SAITH THE LORD.

 

“It's the eagle age that gets the Word and the revelation”.

 

12

FOURTH.SEAL.THE.title  JEFF.IN  63-0321

  Now,

the eagle age revealed it.

 

12A

ANOINTED.ONES.AT.END.TIME.title  JEFF.IN  V-5 N-3  65-0725M

Third Pull, the opening of the Word,

the mysteries revealed.

No more... There's no more higher order to reveal the Word than prophets. But the only way the prophet can be a-vindicated is by the Word.

 And remember

 the Third Pull was the opening of them Seven Seals

to reveal the hidden Truth

that's been sealed in the Word.

[THEY TURN THEIR BACKS ON THE THIRD PULL]

 

13

LOOK.AWAY.TO.JESUS.title  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-17  63-1229E

It's tightening;

and then when that time comes,

 and the press comes to a place to where you're pressed out, then watch

(what I am fixing to tell you in a few minutes)

watch the third pull then.

It'll be absolutely to the total lost,

but it-

-it will be for the Bride and the church.

 

14

FIFTH.SEAL.THE.title  JEFF.IN  63-0322

  And remember,

when the eagle finally comes,

it'll be one-hundredth of one percent that'll listen;

it's a eagle age.

 

15

WORKS.IS.FAITH.EXPRESSED.title  SHREVEPORT.LA  V-7 N-1  65-1126

They could not,

cannot take the message now,

[THIRD PULL]

neither could Jambres and Jannes take Moses' message.

 They could not do it.

 Their works of impersonation was made known,

Because

 they could not be able to follow

God's Word

vindicated by His anointed prophet.

 See?

 

16

WORKS.IS.FAITH.EXPRESSED.title  SHREVEPORT.LA  V-7 N-1  65-1126

They cannot accept the message.

 They cannot accept the message that's unadulterated,

from the Word of God.

I don't care,

 Judas could've done all kind of signs and wonders;

 but when he come to receive the Holy Ghost at the day of Pentecost,

 he showed his colors.

 That Devil can come right up and impersonate right to the very thing,

 Till

it comes to this Word;

but he can't take all that Word.

 

MALACHI 4:4-6

  4       Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the statutes and judgments.

 

17

WORKS.IS.FAITH.EXPRESSED.title  SHREVEPORT.LA  V-7 N-1  65-1126

  They could not follow Israel out.

Why?

They were denominational Egyptian babies.

They could not follow that Word.

 

18

HIS.UNFAILING.WORDS.OF.PROMISE.title  PHOENIX.AZ  V-15 N-3  64-0120

  "You can't teach Pentecostal babies

supernatural things."

And when I made the third pull,

 He said,

"Now, don't tell nobody about this.

You been trying to explain that other.

 Don't tell nobody about this.

This is the great and final pull."

 

“Third Pull,

the opening of the Word,

the mysteries revealed”.

 

“What did you turn your back on me for”?

 

19

PRESENT.STAGE.OF.MY.MINISTRY.title  JEFF.IN  V-11 N-2  62-0908

And, brethren who's listening to this on tape,

 I was a great guy when I come among you just healing the sick,

speaking of visions, and showing things.

But when I went to tell you the Truth

about the Word,

what did you turn your back on me for?

Do you realize it's just

fulfilling what the Scripture said?

 

 

20

RECOGNIZING.YOUR.DAY.title  JEFF.IN  V-5 N-1  64-0726M

The church this day is prophesied to be blinded

to

reject the evening time Message;

Revelation 3 said so;

 

21

SIRS.WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS.title  NEWARK.NJ  57-1211

My

message

that's truly unadulterated Gospel and Scripture,

and

the people have to reject it to fulfill the Word.

 

22

SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW.title  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

  That was Moses' last pull.

 First, a young man talking to Israel; second, went down to deliver them;

 third,

was the last message.

The miracles had been done.

 Moses was on his road to the promised land with the redeemed.

 O God, be merciful, I pray in Jesus' Name.

 

23

ANOINTED.ONES.AT.END.TIME.title  JEFF.IN  V-5 N-3  65-0725M

  Notice the very day when this messenger,

 not when he starts on the,

 but

when he begins to declare his Message.

See?

 

24

WHAT.IS.THE.ATTRACTION?.title  JEFF.IN  V-8 N-8  65-0725E

So I've got my mind set on

 this Message.

That's that Third Pull,

and it's the one I must be loyal and reverent to.

25

RECOGNIZING.YOUR.DAY.title  JEFF.IN  V-5 N-1  64-0726M

There's only one can see it;

that's the one who's predestinated to see it.

 Otherwise you'll never see it.

 

26

TRUE.SIGN.THAT'S.OVERLOOKED.title  JEFF.IN  V-6 N-2  61-1112

  The Bible said,

 "Fear not, little flock; it's your Father's good will to give you the Kingdom."

See? That's right. That's exactly right.

He has to be rejected by all but the little flock.

 

27

QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.title  JEFF.IN  COD  64-0830M

You done had all of those years and examples

the Seals opened,

 the church's age laid out,

and everything like that.

 It's just so plain you can't miss it.

 See?

 And then,

if you fully reject it,

there's only one thing do,

suffer for it.

 

28

BREACH.THE.title  JEFF.IN  63-0317E

Now remember,

this seventh angel is on earth at the time of

 this coming.

 

29

“What did you turn your back on me for”?

 

30

REV.CHAP.5.PART.2.title  JEFF.IN  ROJC 747-793  61-0618

Now,

the revealing of how He did it

is going to be in these seven seals.

31

BREACH.THE.title  JEFF.IN  63-0317E

And

He

took the Book

(Glory.)

opened the Book,

and tore off the Seals,

 and sent it down to the earth to His seventh angel

 to

 reveal it to His people.

[THE THIRD PULL]

 

32

FIRST.SEAL.THE.title  JEFF.IN  63-0318

And when the Seals completely are broken,

 The

 time of redemption is over.

 

33

FIRST.SEAL.THE.title  JEFF.IN  63-0318

He's already got the Book of Redemption in His hand. Glory.

 

34

SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW.title  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

The Lamb come and took the Book out of the right hand of Him

And

set down and claimed what He owned, what He had redeemed.

That right?

It's always been that Third Pull.

 

35

SOULS.IN.PRISON.NOW.title  JEFF.IN.  V-2 N-22  63-1110M

Door's closed,

 gone.

Already the Book is in His hand.

 Think of it.

 

36

LOOK.AWAY.TO.JESUS.title  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-17  63-1229E

The third pull has now been vindicated.

 

37

BALM.IN.GILEAD.title  LONG.BEACH.CA  61-0218

 We've seen Divine healing take place:

 people with heart trouble and different diseases healed.

[FIRST PULL]

We seen the Angel of God come down,

 go through the building just like He said

 just before the coming of the Lord would be,

discerning the spirits and things like that.

 Prophetic utterances went forth, people spoke in tongues, and prophesied, and vindicated the Word back and forth; you've seen it and set.

[SECOND PULL]

Which you choose tonight?

Hollywood or holy heaven?

[THIRD PULL]

You're going to be asked to give a reason someday.

 What then?

 

38

FOURTH.SEAL.THE.title  JEFF.IN  63-0321

And heaven is consisted of the

Word.

 

But when I went to tell you the Truth about the Word,

what did you turn your back on me for?

 

39

RECOGNIZING.YOUR.DAY.title  JEFF.IN  V-5 N-1  64-0726M

And they don't realize that they're

 rejecting

the very Message that's sent to them.

Amen.

 

Do you realize it's just fulfilling what the Scripture said?

 

 

40

INDICTMENT.THE.title  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-19  63-0707

That's exactly, doing the same today.

 He was the Word, and they rejected the Word.

 That's one point I want you not to miss,

=>I want you not to miss.<=

He was the Word, and when they rejected Him,

they rejected the Word.

 

41

MAN.THAT.CAN.TURN.ON.LIGHT.title  JEFF.IN  V-6 N-1  63-1229M

Your traditions and things is exactly what the Bible said,

 like those who wagged their heads and

walked away.

 

“But when I went to tell you the Truth about the Word,

what did you turn your back on me for”?

 

All the tables become full of vomit the Bible said.

And that's the way they...

They wouldn't believe it; they wagged their heads.

And gentlemen, do you realize, and brethren, do you realize this, that when you are rejecting the very thing that God's vindicating before you,

that you're doing the same thing they did,

 going back to your traditional vomit?

 

42

SIGN.OF.THE.TIME.title  BANGOR.ME  58-0520

Put a little kinky headed

Hollywood rat

in never know no more about God than a rabbit knowed about snowshoes.

And put him in there and call him your pastor

 

43

WORLD'S.FALLING.APART.title  ALBQ.NM  63-0412M

What happened? You got some Ricky behind the pulpit. You got some little educated something out of a Bible school that took him farther away from God than he ever could get to God.

You stumble over the simplicity of God.

That's right.

 

44

WORLD'S.FALLING.APART.title  ALBQ.NM  63-0412M

Where did it start?

 Some Ricky behind the pulpit with some kind of a seminary experience,

a puppet to some organization instead of a man of God to take that

Word and tear them to pieces with it.

That's right.

That's what we got in the church.

 God be merciful.

 

45

THIRST.title  TUCSON.AZ  V-16 N-6  65-0919

God told Ezekiel,

 you know,

 said,

"Preach that whether they believe it or not.

You preach it anyhow."

 See?

 Right.

 Whether they accept it, or not,

that ain't it.

 They didn't accept Jesus.

 He went right on preaching It just the same.

See?

 

“There He is with them Angels”.

 

 

AMEN.
