WHY ARE WE NOT ABLE TO HAVE DOMINION OVER“THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD”;“THE FOWLS OF THE AIR”; “THE CREATURES WHICH CREEP”; “THE CREATURES WHICH SWIM”; “ALL BOTANY LIFE” AND “THE EARTH AND ITS ATMOSPHERE”? WHY ARE NOT ABLE?
LET US SEE HOW IT WAS MANIFESTED UNTO BOTANY LIFE;
Jesus Christ, the Word Made Flesh; as hestood under a fig treemanifested it: [Mk 11:12-14]
12. And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany,he was hungry:
13. And seeing a fig tree afar offhaving leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it,he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it.
20. And in the morning, as they passed by,they saw the fig Tree dried up from the roots.
21. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold,the fig Tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22. And Jesus answering saith unto them,have faith in God.
16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth: to the JEW FIRST, and also to THE GREEK.
17. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from FAITH TO FAITH; as it is written, the just shall live by faith.
THE THIRD PULL HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY IDENTIFIED TO US:
(1).THE CREATION OF SQUIRRELS by the Spoken Word; It was done twice, onetime in INDIANA and another time in KENTUCKY. Read the details in these 2 message books.
[My New Ministry: Vol. 31/7; 59-11-15]
[Speak to this Mountain: 59-11-23]
(2).CONTROL OF WEATHER ELEMENTS; Blizzard, Clouds; and the Sun on mountain:
63-1110E - HE THAT IS IN YOU: PARA 101 – 109.[Rev. William Marrion Branham]
105 I raised up, I said, "I do not doubt Your Voice, Lord." I said, "Clouds, snow, rain, sleet, I resent your coming. In the Name of Jesus Christ, go to your places! I say that the sun must come out immediately and shine for four days, till our hunting trip is over and I leave with my brethren."
106 It was just gushing, just went, "Whoooossssh," like that. And it started go, going, "Whoosh," then it went, "whew, whew, whew, whew." Stopped!
107 I stood real still. My brethren up there, and wondering what was happening. And the sleet, rain stopped. There came a wind whirling down through the mountains, lifted up the clouds, and one went this way; east, north, west, and south. And, within a few minutes, the sun was shining nice and warm. That's truth! God knows that's truth!
(3).SALVATION OF SOULS,BY THE SPOKEN WORD.
(A).HATTIE WRIGHT’S; TWO SONS
61-0827 - THE MESSAGE OF GRACE: [Rev. William Marrion Branham]
239. When I was looking for that last squirrel, and knowed it would be the last one, it was right then three minutes till ten o'clock, and I'd said it would be by ten o'clock. You know, He said, "Say what you will. It'll be that way." He's never failed it yet, whatever. "Just say what you will."
The eighth time that was ever done, was on a little woman. She's setting back there now, I suppose. I see Brother Wright setting here. Hattie Wright, when she asked for her two children. There she is, right there now. For the salvation of her two children, (wasn't it?), was firmly against it. I said, "I give you your children,in the Name of Jesus." They fell right across her lap.
(B).ED DAULTON 12 SONS
61-0827 - THE MESSAGE OF GRACE: [Rev. William Marrion Branham]
240 ED DAULTON, Baptist setting here from down in Kentucky, setting right here. How many children you got, Ed?TWELVE CHILDREN. Standing right here, he asked for his children. I walked out of the building. Ed come to me here; I said, "Ed." The Holy Spirit was on me, said, "Give it to him. Give him." I said, "I give you your children." Every one of them's saved and baptized. There was his teenager setting at home, waiting, crying, has been saved since he was up here. This Baptist brother from down in… Oh, oh, how wonderful He is when He speaks.
(4). RESURRECTION OF A DEAD FISH: [Read the testimony yourself]
(5).HEALING OF SR, MEDA OF TUMOR
Brother Branham postponed the surgery over the Tumor in his wife side several times with the expectation of his faith bringing healing to her. But God wanted to use the occasion to reveal a higher level of faith than ever given to him.
65-1126 - WORKS IS FAITH EXPRESSED: [Rev. William Marrion Branham]
115. ABEL, by faith, revelation, (no Bible written in those days)… ABEL, by faith, offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than that of Cain; Which God testified, "He was righteous." How? By faith. How? By revelation! By revelation, Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice, because it was revealed to him that it wasn't fruits of the field, it was the blood.
116. That's WHY SOME PEOPLEcan believe It; and SOME can't believe It; SOMEtry to make-believe It.
117. In a audience of people, where a prayer line comes through, you'll find some… and they were all good people, we'll say. THERE'S SOME that's trying hard to believe It, trying to work themselves into It. SOME just can't do it at all. AND OTHERS, it's just by grace, it's just given to them.
Now, there is the difference. See? That does it. That's the real revelation, because faith is a revelation from God. IT MUST BE REVEALED FIRST.
HERE IS HOW IT WAS REVEALED TO BROTHER BRANHAM FOR THE HEALING OF MEDA’S TUMOR
63-1229E - LOOK AWAY TO JESUS:[Rev. William Marrion Branham]
171. "And now, and then when I come in, all tired and wore out, people coming from everywhere. I'd have to go out somewhere on a fishing trip, or a hunting trip. Why, many women would have blowed up at that. What'd she do? Got my hunting clothes ready for me to go; let me go." I said, "Lord, she didn't mean that." And I said, "She's had to be cut open three times, on account of she was caesarean." And I said I… "Lord, I hate to see her have to do it again."
172. And just then I heard something in the room. I looked up. And A VOICE SAID, "Stand up." Said, "Now whatever you say, that's the way it'll be."
173. I waited just a minute. I SAID,"Before the doctor's hand shall touch her, the hand of God shall take the tumor away, and it won't even be found."
174. That settled it, to me. I never called her. We went right on, went and got Billy and Loyce, and went to Shreveport.
175. The next night I called her. She was happy. SHE SAID, "Bill, I want to tell you!"
176. Now here she is, and she can verify this. Had to hobble her way over there; went in the room with the nurse and Mrs. Norman, and put her clothes on for… the gown, for the examination. The doctor came out, and she could hardly get on the table; the tumor hanging up there, so big. And when she… THE DOCTOR COME IN and was talking to her. And he came over, to raise back the sheet to touch her, and, JUST BEFORE HE TOUCHED HER, IT LEFT.
177.AND THE DOCTORdidn't know which side it was on. He said, "Wait a minute!" With the drawed diagrams and all the pictures, and everything else, he couldn't find one trace of it. He examined her, over and over. He said, "I might not be able to explain it, but, MRS. BRANHAM, that tumor isn't there." And she has never had one symptom of it, since.
178. What was it? Notice, JUST EXACTLY THE WAY IT SAID, "Before the doctor's hand can touch it." One split second, and his hand would have touched it. How perfect is the Word of the Lord!
179. Now, THERE IS MY WIFE, and we're both before God. But before the doctor's hand could even touch her body,on the roadcoming to her like that, something happened, THE TUMOR LEFT. And they couldn't, he—he said… I believe it was, wasn't it, sweetheart? "I want to reassure you, Mrs. Branham," (Is that right, the way he said it? That's right.), "that, that tumor isn't there. You don't have any tumor."
180. What was it? Just exactly according to the Word of the Lord, that was…?… Amen. THAT'S THE FIFTH TIME. Five is the number of grace, a number of f-a-i-t-h, too.
181. There is no more doubt in my mind. I KNOW WHAT THE THIRD PULL IS, and I KNOW WHAT IT DOES. Now be reverent, just keep quiet, THE HOUR WILL SOON ARRIVEwhere God is going to do some great things for us.
(6).THAT FAITHOPERATES IN MANIFESTING DOMMINION OVERANIMALS; MAKNG THEM TO OBEY MAN; AND CAUSING NO HARM TO HIM:
(A).THE KILLER BULL. [Read the testimony in : “WHEN DEIVINE LOVE IS PROJECTED...”]
(B).HORNETS AT HIS YARD
57-0126E - WHEN DIVINE LOVE IS PROJECTED, SOVEREIGN GRACE TAKES ITS PLACE
[Rev. William Marrion Branham]
37. This may seem very strange, and if it does, well, we're going to meet again someday. Animal life knows love. I've watched it. Being a hunter and an outdoorsman, I have watched how God provided. I've watched a fish with a hook in its mouth. Don't worry about that.
... Sometime ago in my home, I had a… I got one of these here POWER MOWERS. And I was mowing the yard at the parsonage. And I'd make a couple rounds and somebody would come in; I'd slip back and change my clothes, and run in, and pray for the sick; and then maybe, get out and mow another round, and somebody else come. And you know, the grass was growing up in the front yard before I could get to the back again. It was so hard.
38. So it come that I was in the back yard on a hot August afternoon. And I had just went around, nobody to see me, and I pulled off my underneath shirt, with just my bare skinfrom my waistline up. It was so hot, and the hot mowing machine… And I was a mowing along, singing, "OH, HOW I LOVE JESUS," thinking about the goodness of the Creator above. And so packed away into the spirit of what I was thinking of, the Lord, and I forgot, down in the corner of the fence was A GREAT BIG NEST FULL OF HORNETS. And shoving my mow and singing with my eyes closed, praying, I RAN RIGHT INTO THE NEST OF THOSE HORNETS. And all of a sudden, without thinking… I was completely covered around WITH HORNETS, and they can take your life. They're great big things. One of them can flatten you on the ground...
41. When those hornets had me covered, and I knew that I'd be stung to deathin a few moments, INSTEAD OF RUNNING or BEING AFRAID… There's only TWO ELEMENTS that you can be controlled by: That is EITHER FAITH or DOUBT. And that is FEAR will accompany DOUBT. So if you're… Jesus said, "Fear not."Don't be afraid. God keeps His Word. No matter what condition you are tonight, God keeps His Word. In closing now, in a few moments, listen close. What happened? I loved those fellows. That seems strange, but I did. And here's why, I talked to them.
Now, I do not say they understood me, but somebody understood me, FOR I SAID, "LITTLE CREATURES OF GOD, I've interrupted you.But I am THE SERVANT OF YOUR CREATOR and HIS SICK CHILDRENare in my home to be prayed for.
And I was mowing the grass, and I'm sorry I disturbed you, LITTLE CREATURES OF GOD. Now, in the Name of Jesus Christ your Creator, my Lord, hurry back into your house, and I will not bother you no more." And when I meet you at the judgment… Those hornets swarming over me had never touched me as yet, and they lined up in a single line and went right straight back in their nest. Love projected, sovereign grace takes its place.
(C).MOSQUITOES WERE SPOKEN INTO CONTROL DURING HIS SQUIRREL HUNTING TRIP.
61-0827 - THE MESSAGE OF GRACE:[Rev. William Marrion Branham]
29. I thought, "Right here is where God gave me them squirrels last year to speak into existence." I took off my hat again, and I said, "Lord God, You are still the same Jesus. You are still God." ... And strange as it seems, just then I was IN A VERY BAD MOSQUITO AREA, where it was invested with mosquitoes, and kind of a swamp land, and A GREAT BIG MOSQUITOcame to bite me right by the eye, and I SAID, "Not one of them will bother me this day," no repellent or anything with me. And before I knew it, I SAID,"The sun will shine within thirty minutes." ...
33. On down through the woods I went. And at exactly three minutes of ten o'clock I shot my third squirrel, just like it was last year, just exactly the same: At three minutes before ten. GOD, being my solemn Judge, NOT ONE MOSQUITO even buzzed all day long, right WHERE THERE ARE JUST TONS OF THEM, I suppose, if they could be weighed out. And I NEVER EVEN SEEN or HEARD ONE. I was listening for them to see if I could. And I heard a humming, I thought, "There's one somewhere," and I listened and IT WAS A TRUCK WAY BACK ON THE HIGHWAY. And exactly thirty minutes from that time the sun shone out good and bright.
63-0825E - PERFECT FAITH:[Rev. William Marrion Branham]
123. Notice now another. Perfect Faithis a master of all circumstances. Perfect Faithmasters all circumstances. No matter what it is, It masters it. Now, just watch! When you believe anything, do anything, and you got faith in what you're doing; no matter what the circumstance is, that don't have one thing to do with it. See, it masters that circumstance. If it's in a room of sickness, and the Lord's revealed that this certain thing's going to happen, you JUST SPEAK IT AND GO ON.
124. Oh, Just don't ask any questions. It's already over, just keep going. See? It masters all circumstances. "Well, if you do this, So-and-so's going to do…" It already got it mastered. See?
125. Faith believes that God will work it out. "I don't know how He's going to do it, but He'll do it anyhow." See? It masters all circumstances.
126. And FAITH and LOVE is relation, because you can't have faith unless you got love, because your faith is in a GOD WHO IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF LOVE. Faith and love works together.
(7). IT SPEAKSFORGIVENESS FOR MISCONDUCT BY A YOUNG BOY AND A GIRL IN THE CHURCH
59-1123 - SPEAK TO THIS MOUNTAIN:[Rev. William Marrion Branham]
31...THEY WERE SETTING ABOUT LIKE THIS FROM ME. And when I started preaching, he would just grab her, and throw her head back, and climb up on her, and kiss her, and carry on, and just act awful in the meetings. And THE USHERS couldn't make him be quiet. And I SAID TO HIM from the platform, I said, "Young man, don't do that; you're attracting the attention while I'm preaching." And he just laughed right out at me. I THOUGHT, "Oh,oh,there it is, THERE'S THE TRAP, right there." I went right ahead speaking just the same.
And oh, HE GOT SO IMMORAL with her, till I had to stop again. I said, "Don't do that, sir,please." I said, "If you want to make love to the young lady, then you leave the building, but this is a religious meeting." I said, "You shouldn't do that. Don't—please don't do that while I'm preaching." I started again and HE JUST MADE IT WORSE.
32. And then when I was turn—I said, "Don't…" And SOMETHING SAID TO ME, "Say what you will, and it'll be done." I stood there. Mr. Mercier, the tape boy, and all of them standing, Brother Fred, and many of them standing present, the perspiration was just running from me.
SOMETHING SAID, "Say,'Blindness,' it'll be blind. Say,'Death,'andthey'll pack them out. Say what you will."I COULDN'T SPEAK. I COULDN'T MOVE. And IT JUST LEFT. I thought, "God, what must I do?" And I turned, and he stood there, and his face white, looking at me.
I THOUGHT,"What must I say?" Then I turned, and looked like, before I knowed what I'd said, I SAID,"I forgive you of your act." And it must have been just the right thing to say. IT WAS GODtrying a reaction on an action.
THAT NIGHTit was revealed to me that I'd said the right thing. I knowed it was all leading to something, but what was it? What to do? You knowyou have to watchWITH A DIVINE GIFTwhat you do with it.REMEMBER WHAT MOSES DID? So I must've said the right thing. "I forgive you."
For YOU KNOW JOHN, YOUNG JOHN, wanted to burn up Samaria one time because they wouldn't feed them. JESUS SAID, "You don't know what kind of a spirit you are. The Son of man came to save life, not to destroy it." And I… Them Scriptures just kept pouring over, all night. I didn't sleep. But THAT WAS A TRAPSET that SATAN WOULD GET ME all worked up and then make me say the wrong thing.
BUT THE HOLY SPIRITwas there and told me beforehand to be carefulwhat I said. Oh, the goodness of God, how it was Just His mercy. "Be careful what you said."
And from then on there was a relief come. Then about… I begin to notice the different things that I would speak out unconsciously, not knowing what I said, and it would happen that way. I begin to speak about it.
(8).THE BRIDE REMEDY FOR THE ON-COMING SQUEEZE BY THE WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES.
63-1229E - LOOK AWAY TO JESUS: [Rev. William Marrion Branham]
38. So now I am going to say something to you, now, that I haven't said all along. And, that is, the thing that we have looked forward to for so long (for at least many years, four or five years, or maybe longer), THE THIRD PULL, has now been vindicated, and I'm sure you all know what it is.
39. Now remember, there'll never be an impersonation of that, 'cause it can't be. See, it cannot be. Now it's in existent. And I am warned of this, that soon… Right at this time now it's just happened, so it could identify its presence among you, see, but it will not be used in a great way until this Council begins to tighten up.
THE PENTECOSTALS, and SO FORTH, can almost impersonate anything can be done. But when that time comes, WHEN THE SQUEEZE COMES DOWN, then you'll see, what you've seen temporarily, be manifestedin the fullness of its power. See? See? See? See?
47.And then, after a while, IT RECEIVED POWER, and spoke like a dragon; and exercised all the power THE DRAGON HAD BEFORE HIM. And THE DRAGON IS "ROME," always. So don't you see? ROMAN DENOMINATION; "a mark,"PROTESTANT DENOMINATION; "AN IMAGE UNTO THE BEAST," making a power that'll force all Protestants, LIKE A UNION. You'll have to be into this COUNCIL OF CHURCHES or you won't be able to have fellowship.
48. Well, it's practically that way now. You can't go to a church and preach unless you have a fellowship card or some identification. And now, ON PERSONS LIKE OURSELVES, we're going to be cut out of all that, altogether, that's exactly, 'CAUSE THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO DO IT.
49. 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'm fixing to tell you in a few minutes. WATCH THE THIRD PULL then, see, and it'll be absolutely to the total lost, but it will be for THE BRIDE and THE CHURCH.
There is so much to place in here but I will bring more of it on THE NEXT remaining gifts: GIFTS OF HEALING; and WORKING OF MIRACLES. Let me conclude with this quote:
60-0305 - BE NOT AFRAID, IT IS I: [Rev. William Marrion Branham]
And I told you the last time here there was a new ministry coming. I spoke with some of the brethren today, and was telling them about what's happened.
Just remember, that the first time I was here, you remember the Lord had told me something was going to happen: change in the ministry. It happened.
Said another one's going to happen, and it happened.
Now, there's another one greater, far greater than all the rest of them put together, already confirmed and ready. I hope it happens tonight. I just might say that. I don't have the time to explain it to you, but the brethren who does know about it, it's wonderful.
It'd be such a great thing for the people. And I am grateful to God that the hour is soon at hand (I believe it), when God is going to help His children.
(A). Especially,it'll be for those who can't muster the faith to raise up and get a hold of God like they should. I believe the Lord is providing a way for us nowto take care of them also.
(B). Some runs into the faith that they can just reach over and receive anything. Why, that's great faith.
(C ). Some of them has mustard seed faith, and has to wait so long to get through. I believe the Lord is making a way for those people now.
And I don't know when it will be, but it will be. Just as certain as I'm standing here, it will be.
[EMPHASIS MINE]
God bless you. I hope what has been compiled in this article will be helpful to you after reading it.
