The Pillar of Fire Appears
Brother Branham had just finished ministering to the sick in a prayer line, at W.V. Grants Assembly, in Dallas, TX. March 8, 1964. Leaving the platform, he exited through a back door. A newspaper photographer asked permission to take a picture. Always the gentleman that he was, he graciously consented. The result was the picture shown to the left.
The Pillar of Fire is seen resting on Brother Branham's 'right' shoulder. When Brother Branham was shown this picture a few weeks later, he said, "Put it on the shelf. They didn't believe the others and they won't believe this one either".
This Pillar of Fire had been with Brother Branham since the time of his birth. During his ministry it was photographed several times. When praying for the sick he would watch the Pillar of fire move around the building from one person to another, revealing the "thoughts and intents" of the heart, the past, the present and the future. Concerning this Pillar of fire he said…..
In the Message "UNVEILING OF GOD", preached June 14, 1964:
Father, we pray today that these, Lord, who are not yet through that veil, they're standing out there like Israel, they're watching. They believe, but they've never broke into this yet, to see that great Shekinah Light, both spiritual and physical, insomuch that a mechanical eye of the camera keeps taking the picture. Just two weeks ago caught It again (Above – Dallas, TX). You're revealing Yourself, Lord, the Mighty God unveiled to the believer: still veiled to the unbeliever… May they break through today, Lord, see His great splendor and glory.
In the Message "CONVINCED THAN CONCERNED", preached June 10, 1962:
I believe it with all my heart! Not because I'm an old man, I preached this when I was a kid not over twenty years old. I've been convinced since that day He met me on the river! Hallelujah! I'm convinced that He's here now! I'm convinced that that Pillar of Fire is the same Pillar of Fire that was with Israel in the wilderness, is the same Pillar of Fire with the Church in this. Glory! I'm convinced It's right! I've give my life for It! I've left home and everything else; give everything for It! I'm convinced It's the Truth!
I'm convinced that He's here now! I'm convinced that this Spirit that's here now is the Holy Spirit! I'm convinced that we're baptized into His Spirit right now! I know It's the Truth. I'm thoroughly convinced that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I'm convinced, perfectly convinced.
That Angel met me up there and told me what he did. I stood before heathens by the thousands and tens of thousands. You say, "Aren't you afraid?" No, sir! I'm convinced that It come from God! I'm convinced because it was Scriptural! I'm convinced that It's the Angel of the Lord. I believe it with all that's in my heart. I'm convinced if we would ask God for anything, He'd give it to us. He's just here. Don't be scared. He's here.
I'm convinced that that very Spirit that you feel, the Holy Spirit that is moving in us, I'm convinced that that's Christ. Amen! I'm convinced that, right now, that This is what I'm looking at, this Circle of Light before me, I'm convinced that's the Holy Spirit! I'm convinced that vision is over my eyes! I know it is. Amen! I challenge every devil in the world, this hour! He's God. Christ is not just a prophet, He is God, nothing short of it. Something happened. I'm convinced that God is here. Did he give out prayer cards? Any prayer cards? No. We don't need them. I'm convinced that He's here. You believe it? …..Here it is already in the meeting. That lady setting there, she's praying for a nervous condition. Her little girl with her, retarded… Going to believe it? (You have a)Sick mother at home. Have faith; don't doubt. You can have what you ask for.
I'm convinced that the same Angel that come down in the form of a Man and talked to Abraham with His back turned to the tent (yet knowing the thoughts in Sarah's heart), is the same One here tonight. He promised it would be. I believe that that same Angel anoints us, because It was God. Do you believe it?
All right, Sarah, in here somewhere, you speak to God. I'm convinced, sister. I'm convinced, brother. I know it's the Truth.
There's a lady setting behind me. She got a heart trouble. She's setting right behind me. I don't know her. She's standing in front of me (in the vision). She's a middle-age woman. She's not from here, She's from Virginia. Mrs. Stocks, Jesus Christ makes you well, She's setting right in here. This is her right here. You believe? "If thou canst believe, all things are possible."
What do you think about it, lady? Are you and I strangers one another? You believe me to be His prophet? You do? You have a head trouble. That's right. Your name is Mrs. Moore. If that's right, raise your hand. Go home and be healed.
Are you believing? Now, someone appeared before me here; here it is, someone. It's a woman. She's got cancer on the breast. Mrs. Rhodes, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. I don't know the woman. God knows her. "If thou canst believe, all things are possible." That's right.
Now, it's (Pillar of Fire) circling the building. The whole building's anointed, the whole place. I'm convinced that the Presence of Jesus Christ will heal every person here. Are you convinced the same? You convinced that I tell you the Truth, God vindicates I'm telling you the Truth? Then I command that you stand to your feet and accept your healing in the Name of Jesus Christ. If you are convinced, raise your hands up to Him and give Him praise.
In the Message "INFLUENCE", preached March 15, 1964:
Beyond any shadow of doubt, the claim that was made thirty years ago about a Pillar of Fire that the cameras caught – Your Texas camera caught it not long ago (Jan. 1950). Scientific research throwed it through all kinds of research that they could find by the FBI. How did you do it? Took in Texas for Texans. When you see the sign, it cannot be disproved. It's the truth.
But will you believe the voice that follows the sign?
iabsolutely believ that bro branham is the prophet send on our day, every body knows this are the last days and we need the prophet to show us the great ministery of the bible.ibelieve every thing my prophet says .ithank the lord who brouhgt him on my way.God bless u little ones of the for the good job u r doing.
He is surely the prophet of Malachi 4
This message cannot be organised,bro.Branham said on back of all his tapes, Not for one moment do I bring a message to the people that thay may follow me.or join my church or start some fellowship and organization.,,,,Now read it again. Thats why the message churches are so dry and void of His Spirit (GOD)Trying to build something around a man never works. build your church around the Lord Jesus Messiah and preach the message,See if that dont work.
Yes you are right,the scripture quoted was refering to the Lord Jesus ,And like I stated earlier that its ashame that so many TWIST Bro.Branhams words and drive folks further away from the message.
The authenticity and infallibility of the Pilar of Fire can only be argued by reprobate minds.Likewise the genuineness of Bro. Branham as the 7th angel of the laodicean church age and the end time prophet prophecied from Genesis to Revelation. But to the ELECTED LADY, it is Q.E.D., meaning “concluded beyond ALL DOUBTS” Shalom to the Bride!!!
every thing about this prophet is true and there is no doubt….eyes have seen,ears have heard and there is notting that can change ma mind.i`ve made up ma mind and thats final.God said it the prophet spoke it and that`s final.God richly Bless you for the work you are doing…….please can you send me more pictures via my mail about our precious brother?God Bless you…AMEN…….
Glory halleluyah!
The pillar of fire is as simple as a presence of God himself moving all over his own children and prophets.
Their is no doubt Bro branham is the last messenger to the last age and any one that doesnt work or believe in his message is never meant to,because the eagle only eat what the eagle eats.the true food whish is the word of God is for the true elect,and once they here it they ll recognise and be glued to it.
Thanks and keep the faith
I believe every thing the Prophet ever said or did. i believe that with all my heart, He’s the only true Prophet of God in this age. but only the elected ones will see that, may the Lord God bless every soul that believes this message.
Most message Churches Iv been to dont hardly beleive anything anymore.No revival,no gifts in operation,they dont even listen to the taped messages.They sound like a bunch of baptist who explain away the Holyspirit and than blame it on something B.Branham said,which turns out to be a twist on his words. The Branham sons wont preach and beleive no one is aloud to preach the message except there daddy,And so they just play a tape every Sunday and call that a service.Hey Im not against any of these folk,but just what is expected to happen with this message?
Brother Branham’s message is new to me, but I recently went to the Bible Tabernacle in Ann Arbor, Michigan and I can tell you that the Holy Ghost is alive and present in that congregation. Praise Him! Hallelujah!
he was a men of god and pillor was the signature of god to prove i am nothing who belive him but i say blinds can be able to prove him by their sixth sense as glory of god was visible in his ministry.
i strongly believe tht he was the prophet &pillor of fire is the signature of god to prove his glorious presnce with the prophet i would like to say not only we but an inborn blind can see it with his blind eyes as he was truely the selected &blessed character of almighty to prove his grace to the mankind which cant be defined in words.
I really belief every bit of the message that brother Branham was God sent, but my problem is that from what l have read so far, l am been made to belief that, if you are are even a Christian and you don’t follow the message it means you are not going to be save. please kindily help me out with some explianation since l’m prepared to learn.
My dear brother George Owusu, greetings to you. Sine the Lord has opened your heart to begin believing in the message there is something that you need to know. There is no other way to Heaven but through Jesus Christ. He said Himself that no other religious man or women or philosopher could ever had said and this was it, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no man cometh unto the Father but by Me.” All of the other religions that say that their god is the right god is false, you know why? Because Jesus said that, “All those that hate Me hate the One who sent Me,” that being God Almighty. So if they don’t believe in Jesus Christ then they do not believe in the One who sent Him, thus negating all possible ways to Heaven other than by accepting Jesus Christ. This is how you get saved: The epistle of Romans says that if “confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Lord you shall be saved.” Again the scripture says in the Book of Acts chapter 2, “Whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.”
The Lord bless you and hope this helps! If you get this and would like to respond for further information or questions that you have that need to be answered, email me at jeremiahdunivin@rocketmail.com
Love ya and God bless you!
Brother George,
Greetings in the name of Lord Jesus Christ.
You are correct in believing that nobody outside the Message will be saved. Brother Branham was the prophet came to make the restitution of all things as the apostle Peter said in:
Acts 3:21 KJVR Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
Apostle Peter went on to say that anybody who does not believe Brother Branham’s message will be destroyed:
Acts 3:22-23 KJVR
(22) For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
(23) And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
God bless you.
Oh Yes!
The PILAR OF FIRE is real. That’s our GOD showing himself to this Evil, Adultrous, Sinful and Laodacean Age. Nacked, Poor, Misreable and don’t even know it.
Am so glad just as any other Beleiver who hath gotten the Revelation of the Message of the Hour and Its Messanger.
May God Bless whoever will humber him/herself to follow the only God’s Provided Way for our Age.
Glory!!!
i first learned about brother branahm when i was incarcarated in97 and i read the book on the 7 church ages and his doctrine gave me enlightment on the gospel. Every chance i get i tell all of my christian friends about Bro. Branahm. I just found out about Voice Of God’s recording website, and i very delighted to have learned about Bro. Branahm. And truly believe he was a twentth century prophet.
