Turn Not Away from My Word
March 8, 1992 (Sunday Morning)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Drost & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Turn not away from My Word. Yea I say unto thee, I have given thee My Word. I have spoken unto thee. Yea have I sent my messenger unto thee, saith the Lord. Yea, did I not give unto him the vindication, yea, of My Spirit. Knowest thou not that I have not taken away the vindication of My Word. Knowest thou not that it is still the good pleasure of the Father, yea I say unto thee, to vindicate My Word.
But I say unto thee that man who have said in their heart, ‘We will not follow the Word,’ but they have rejected My Spirit. They have scorned and they have mocked, saith God. But I say unto thee that no demon in hell will hold back My Spirit. For I say unto thee that I will visit the Bride in the world and I will cause a mighty shaking and a mighty out-pouring, saith the Lord. It will come as deliverance to the Bride, not to the world, but to My chosen, saith the Lord.
“I will visit the Bride in the world and I will cause a mighty shaking and a mighty out-pouring.”
Knowest thou not that I will visit thee with signs and wonders. Yea I say unto thee, men will mock and they will lie and they will doubt. But doubt will not stop God in this hour, and lies will not stay my hand in this hour, for this is the time foretold. Yea I say unto thee, this is an hour that has been prophesied unto thee about. This is the day that I spoke to thee about.
The beginning, saith the Lord, of the move of God that will take the Bride, my precious elected one, and fill her with My Spirit, and she will speak My Word, and whatsoever she says will be, saith the Lord. For I will vindicate My Word in her mouth. This is the hour foretold. Receive and believe. Doubt not in thine heart for I, the Lord thy God, will bring it to pass. Thus saith the Lord.
I Will Loose Thee into Liberty
March 8, 1992 (Sunday Morning)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Anna Jones & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
“Behold, I’ve seen thee, saith the Lord. I have seen the longing in thine heart. I have seen thee as thou has desired to come nearer to Me, saith the Lord. I have seen the searching of your soul. Yea, I have heard your cries, saith the Lord, your lamentation is before Me: your weeping, your mourning. Yea I say unto thee, have I spoken it? Have I ordained this day, saith the Lord? If thou only knew, saith the Lord, what is in store for thee this day, yea, you would worship Me.
You would let Me lead the service, saith the Lord, where today will be a day of deliverance for many. For I the Lord thy God hath spoken it, and that which I have spoken, that will I perform. For I say unto thee that I am not a man that I should lie, neither the son of man that I would have need to repent. Yea I say unto thee, I will break the fetters that have bound thee, saith the Lord.
“I, the Lord, will break the fetters that have bound thee. I will loose thee into liberty.”
I will loose thee into liberty. Yea I say unto thee, this day I will correct your attitude, saith the Lord, and I will bring thee to a place that I could speak to thee, that I can deal with thee. Knowest thou not that this is the last great outpouring of My Spirit? Knowest thou not that one last time I will only visit My chosen and My elected? Knowest thou not that “This is That.” Yea I say unto thee, recognize. For today will be a turning point in your life, saith the Lord, and I will stir thee up in a measure that thou has never known.
Run not away from My Presence, but grab to the horn of the altar and don’t let go, for I will surely bring every promise to pass. Yea I say unto thee, that in the next few days, I will fulfill the vision that I have given to my servant, saith the Lord, and you will walk upon the land that I have given him. Yea, I the Lord would say unto thee that one word that I have spoken will not vanish nor pass away, but I will perform it, even in the midst of thee. Thus saith the Lord.”
The Water Is Troubled
May 9, 1992 (Saturday Morning)
Message in tongues given through Sister Yoeman & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
“Behold, the water is troubled tonight, saith the Lord. Behold I have heard the prayer of my child, saith God. Behold faith has touched me this night. Yea I say unto thee, I will deliver and I will heal somebody in the midst of thee this night. Yea I say unto thee, when the angel came and troubled the water, knowest thou not that the first one in the water was the one to be healed? Yea I say unto you, the first one that can reach me with innocent faith, not doubting, never wavering, I will grant to thee that petition that thou hast asked of me. For I have passed this way tonight to grant to thee that which thou has desired. Yea I say unto thee, it will not perish, but it will come to pass this night. Thus saith the Lord.”
An Endtime Message for the Bride
May 9, 1992 (Sunday Evening)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
And God was merciful to me in that time. And down on my face in sackcloth and ashes, like the prophets of old, in… in Evansville, Indiana, God was faithful to me. And He said, “Get up and go to Anderson, South Carolina, and there you will receive an end time message for the Bride.” And when I got there, God introduced me to what He had done in this generation. And I told my granny. I said, “Granny, I’ve got a key, here, of what God’s done in this hour.” She said, “His name… Is his name William Branham?” I said, “Yes, ma’am.”
She said, “I went to see him.” She began to give… I put that video in and tears began to run down her face. And she said, “That’s what I knew.” She said, “I walked in, and I saw him. I saw them things. I heard spell Abraham. I heard him do them things.” She heard two of the greatest messages ever been preached in this world, and that’s Spiritual Amnesia in Birmingham, Alabama, and a message called A Court Trial. If you’ve never heard him preach that, you ought to hear it. It’ll set your world on fire.
That’s what’s wrong with the world today. That’s what’s wrong with Columbus and Phenix City. They’ve got spiritual amnesia. They’ve lost their memory. They forgot what it’s like to worship God down the sawdust trail. They forgot what it’s like to sit at an old brush-arbor, where they wasn’t no loud systems, where they wasn’t no fancy windows and no fancy chairs, and bury their face down in the sawdust and mud. And cry… (Tongues)
Hallelujah! Glory to God! They forgot what it’s all about. And that’s why He’s passed over them. Oh, but, He said, “One more time I must tell them the whole truth.” My Granny wept and cried. And she said, “Son, do you mean to tell me that you believe that man has fulfilled the word of God?” And I said, “Yes, ma’am, I do.” She said, “I do, too.”
She come to this pulpit, and she stood right there. And this is what she said: “You listen to Steve. I’ve lived my whole life preaching part of what I knew. And God sent my own grandson.” She took oxygen off and held it in her hand so she could talk. “God sent my own grandson here to restore the full truth to this church.” And she said, “I know what you’ll do. You’ll walk out and leave him. Every last one of you will walk out and leave him.”
She sat right there and let every one of the people come and hug her and kiss her, tell her they loved her. And she looked right at ’em and she said, “You’ll still leave him.” She went out the door. Some of ’em come to her house the day before she died. They said, “We’re gonna stand with Steve and be with him, and support him.” She said, “No, you won’t. You would if you could. I know you would if you could. But it ain’t in you.” She saw they had a heart to turn back. Brother, I’ll tell you, ‘cause she was a spiritual woman.
‘Cause God dealt with her in a vision the night before she died, and showed her the condition of the world and a big old wheel and anointing of God in the hub of that wheel, Sister Yeoman. And she said the Holy Ghost would take her out the spokes of that wheel and show her what was going on in the world. Then He’d bring her back down to the hub and He’d say, “Daughter, this is the anointing. At the hub of everything, at the center of everything is My anointing and My Spirit.” And she looked at me the next day, and she said, “It’ll be hard. But you’ll stand on the truth, and every one of my people will leave you.” But she said, “God will send you a people from everywhere who’ll stand on the word.”
Fullness of My Person
June 14, 1992 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given to Brother Shelley
On the way to church this morning, I was thinking, in ’63, God revealed Himself, His Word in its fullness, the fullness of the Word. So, I said, “Lord, if You’ve already revealed the fullness of Your Word, what’s left? That’s it.”
He spoke to my spirit and He said, “I’ve already revealed the fullness of My Word.”
I said, “Yes Lord, I know that. Now what’s left?”
And He said, “Now, I’m revealing the fullness of My Person, who I AM.”
That is the hour that we’re living in right now. We know the Word, we know the Bible, we know the mystery, we know the Church Ages, we know the Seals, we understand that God has uttered His Voice like the sound of many waters and thunders have uttered forth to declare the mystery of God finished.
Vision of the Bride Dying and Reviving
June 14, 1992 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I had a three-segment vision, three different segments. The first segment was…This happened just last night. The first segment was I was walking down the aisle of this church in a white suit, like a tuxedo. I was walking down that aisle right there, and I came and stood here at the front. There was somebody standing here, like a minister, but I couldn’t see who it was. I, evidently that wasn’t an important part of the vision because I couldn’t see. I mean, I don’t recall who it was. I just know there was a minister.
And I realized, by the way people were dressed and the way I was dressed, I was at my wedding. And so… All you mothers. I’ve got about fifty mothers here, just be real calm. I don’t believe it was natural. So, you don’t have to panic. I’m not going to bring somebody in and marry them in the next few weeks. But anyhow, I realized I was at my own wedding. And even in this vision, seeing this with my eyes open. This happening right before my eyes like a movie screen, I was real thrilled because I knew it was my wedding. And I thought, I can’t hardly wait to see who I’m going to marry. I mean… I didn’t see the courtship. All I saw was the ceremony. And I looked, I turned. I was standing about here, in this vision.
I turned and looked, and those French doors opened up, and I saw a woman come in, a young lady. She was veiled. So, I never did really get to see her face, who she was, as far as to recognize her. But she had on the most beautiful gown I ever laid eyes on in my life.
I had a vision another time about a bride. But I’ll tell you, if you want to compare they were dressed, this bride was the most beautifully dressed bride I had ever seen in my life. High collar and long sleeves, and the sleeves ballooned a little bit through here, just a real puffy sleeve. Close to the wrist like that, you know, like a Victorian type style. Just radiant. Just beautiful.
I noticed that her hair was long and it was sort of a blondish brown, a light brown color. I don’t know what you’d call that; dirty blonde. But that don’t sound very nice, does it? But that’s what it was. And she had this veil on, and in the top of the veil it looked like there were some kind of flowers, a few little flowers or something, up there on top of the veil.
And I know, in this vision, I saw myself, and I was just smiling. Of course, I was happy. And she started down this aisle, and she stood right here, like this, before whoever this was, standing here. And I stepped over to where she was. And I remember thinking, I can’t take her hand.
In this vision, I had a desire to hold her hand. But I remember thinking, I can’t hold her hand, take her hand, because we’re not married yet. And the ceremony has not been pronounced and we’re not husband and wife. And according to what that prophet said, why, I’m not even supposed to touch her until we become husband and wife. Ain’t that hard? That’s the way I believe, always believed it that way.
And I heard this voice pronouncing this ceremony. There was a minister standing there. I don’t remember who it was or what they looked like. But there was a pronunciation of matrimony. But the Voice was louder than as if it would come from this one. It was almost like the Voice out of heaven. There stood this man, but it was almost like the Voice came out of heaven, “I pronounce you man and wife.”
And just about the time, that I would have been really married to her and could have held her hand and pecked her, the vision changed. And I was in a bedroom, and she was laying in the bed, all covered up. And all of that beautiful gown was gone. And then I could recognize… I don’t know who she was. Though I recall, I’ve never laid eyes on her before. But her face, her countenance was ashen. And I was kneeling beside the bed.
And there was a man standing there (now you’d better listen to this, it’s getting sticky), with a bag, a doctor’s bag. And I was kneeling by the bed, and the doctor said, “she is afflicted. There is nothing that we can do. She just has a few days to live.”
And in the vision, I was just weeping. And because I’d been pronounced husband and wife, I had her by the hand and I was holding her by the hand. And in this vision, I was saying, “I hate that it has to end this way. Oh, this is so awful that it has to end this way. Oh, this is awful.”
And I looked up and I said, “Sir, isn’t there anything that you can do?”
“Nothing.”
I said, “You’re a Christian man, a preacher. In fact, could you pray with me? Would you just agree in prayer with me, that God won’t let my little Bride die?”
And he said, “Yes, I’m a preacher. Yes, I’m a doctor.” But he said, “I have the Word.”
And I said, “Well, yes sir, I do too. I believe the Word and that’s why I want you to pray with me and agree on that Word.” And when I said that, he opened up his medicine bag and he took out a Spoken Word book.
And he opened it up and he began to thumb through it and he said, “There is nothing in here about divine healing.”
And I said, “Well, what message is that?” And I don’t remember if he gave a title or not. I said, “I never heard a message, a whole message that that prophet preached, that he didn’t say something about healing.”
He said, “Well, it’s not here, nowhere.”
And I said, “Sir, look up something else. See, if you see anything in there about speaking in tongues.”
“No, there is nothing in here about speaking in tongues.”
And I said, “Is there anything in there about prophesying or the joy of the Lord, or this good Holy Ghost?”
He took out this book and he thumbed through it. “No, no. There is nothing in it like that.”
I said, “Do you have any more?” And he began to take them out, and he laid a set of just a few little tapes on the bed. I said, “Have you heard all those tapes?”
He said, “Yes.”
I said, “Is there anything on those tapes that might help us to pray for my little bride?”
He said, “No, there is nothing in there that will help her.” And then I said, “Well, I don’t understand it. I don’t understand why there is nothing in those books there.”
And he began to thumb through all of them. “Nothing.” And about that time, in this vision, his countenance changed. And he took on an evil spirit, this doctor, preacher. He said, “The reason why there is nothing in there to help your little bride is because we have taken it out.”
I said, “But sir, you can’t do that. That was God’s vindicated Voice. You can’t pick and choose.”
He said, “It’s too late. There is nothing you can do about it. We’ve taken it out. There’s nothing to help your little bride.”
And I looked at her, and she looked at me with the saddest eyes, I’ve ever seen in my life. Tears, all tear-soaked. And she looked at me without saying a word. “Won’t you please help me. Isn’t there anything you can do?”
And the doctor said, “It’s just a matter of time and she’ll be gone, and you’ll just pick up, go on with your life, and it’ll be all right.”
And I said, “Sir, would you just please leave us alone a moment. You’re just being too cruel. And I just have a few moments left with my little bride. And if you’ll just leave us alone, I’d appreciate it. You’re just being so cruel.” And he said, “You can’t sit there and mope and mourn about the death of your bride, when life must go on.” And with that, the vision changed.
I was standing at the foot of her bed again. She was laying there, sick and afflicted. Same condition. She had on a pink robe, pink robe with embroidery, like a little embroidery there. Laying there, all covered up and her hair hanging down, down long. And at the end of the bed… When I saw myself, I wasn’t dressed like I was dressed in the segment before that.
Just regular clothes. I was in that suit again. The same suit that I was in when I married her.
She got enough courage, enough strength to look at me, and she said, “Oh, you’ve put your suit back on.” And I said, “Yes.” She said, “How thoughtful, sweet of you to put your suit back on. Let me see you in that suit one last time.”
And these words came out of my mouth, that ended this vision. I said, “Little lady, I’m not going to let you die. I came in here, with my wedding suit on, because we’re going to start over. We’re going to pray and believe God. And I can’t help it, what’s been taken out. I’m going to believe what I heard the first time.” Hallelujah. “And God’s going to raise you up and we’re going to live together forever, happy.”
And there was a slight smile across her face. And you know what I said in the vision? “Arise, my love, my fair one, come away!” When I said that, the Holy Spirit of God came into that vision and raised that little lady. And I say that because… I don’t have a wife, you know. I mean, it’s a little foreign to me. But in this vision, she was mine. She belonged to me. I mean, I felt one with her, even though I didn’t know her in this life.
When I said that, the Holy Ghost rushed under her and lifted her right up out of that bed and stood her on her feet, transformed. And there was a whirlwind that came out of the right corner of that room and sweeped down across that bed, and that whirlwind caught her. In that whirlwind, she was caught in that whirlwind. That whirlwind began to just spin around her like that. And when that whirlwind lifted, it started lifting up over here like that. And when it did, she was back in that wedding gown, that I’d seen her in in the first part of that vision.
And then I came out of that vision, weeping and crying.
Vision of Mine Cart
June 14, 1992 (Sunday Morning)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I was praying last night, and I said, Lord, you promised me in a vision… And I don’t have the vision book, where they’re written down. But I said, Lord, You promised me in a vision that there was a light at the end of the tunnel, and that I was going to make it. And the little group here, You were going to help us to overcome.
And, I couldn’t give you the details publicly this morning, but even in the past week and two weeks, that vision of the three men in the, what is the word I want to use? Down in the tunnel. I called it, like a mine shaft. That’s what it looked like to me in this vision. There were three men with me and they all three slipped to their destruction. I was the only one of the three that lived to come out of there.
And the Angel of the Lord stood at my right side. When you say that, people think you’ve lost your mind. I can’t help it. I can’t help how God deals with me today, and I can’t help how God’s dealt with me all my life. But I can’t apologize for it either. And I know better than to try to explain it all to you, because then you’d just get more confusing as you go along.
Some people think the Angel of the Lord could have only stood by Brother Branham. I’d like to ask you a question. Now, is the God that you serve a respecter of person? No. The God that I serve is just as able to come down to my rescue this morning, as He was to come and rescue that prophet. Anyway, when I came to myself, I couldn’t get up. The vision left me so weak. But in the course of this vision, I was riding in a mine cart.
And I won’t tell all the detail, but the Angel of the Lord came and stood by me. And He was teaching me things. The first time, there came an avalanche. We had to get out with shovels and move the rocks out of the way. But on up the road, as I got closer to the end of the tunnel, there came another avalanche. And the Angel of the Lord said, you don’t have to get out and shovel it. Just speak the Word.
And so, I just spoke the Word. When I did, those rocks rolled out of the way. Hallelujah. It’s Bible, scriptural, the power of the Spoken Word. I just rolled on. But the Angel gave me a prophecy. I’ve got it word for word, written down. I gave it to the whole church. And He told me, there would be many visions after this one. And He said, at first, your own people will have a hard time believing, but when they see that your desire is to stay right with the Word, they’ll trust those leadings, and it will lead the church into perfection.
Phone Jacks
July 19, 1992 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
You’re gonna see something, folks. I told you, I went in that room in a vision, and looked down that line, and saw them telephone jacks lined all down the wall. I’m not trying to build up nothing. I’m being honest. I’ve spilled my… my insides tonight. If I was trying to draw people to me, I wouldn’t have acted like I’ve acted tonight on this telephone hookup, and cried, and bawled, and carried on. And confessed that I’m weak, and don’t pray, and whatever else.
Vestal Goodman & Dressing Holiness
July 26, 1992 (Sunday Evening)
Dream given to Brother Shelley
I had a dream just the other night. Vestal Goodman used to be a friend of my granny and I. You know who the Happy Goodman family are, they use to be holiness. And I dreamed that we had moved our church to a piece of property. The building was big, like an old-fashioned tabernacle. Just as big as it could be, but it wasn’t fancy. It was just a closed in tabernacle. And Sister Vestal and some of ’em was riding with me to church that night. And I was a little bit older. I looked a little older than what I am now.
And I got out of that car, and I went over. It was just a dream. And I helped Sister Vestal out, and she was getting older. And I said, “Sister Vestal, hold on to my arm.” I said, “The way is real rough between here and the door. But if you’ll hold on to me, I won’t let you fall.” She’s a big woman. How many of you have ever seen who Vestal Goodman is? She’s a friend of our family’s. I sung two years with her and her husband as they travelled. They sung in my meetings. And we sung and preached together. We’ve been… They’ve been real friends.
They know us all by name. She was holding on to my arm. I have a video of her at home that was just released, that Brother West brought to me. And she’s got on a long blouse and a pair of britches. You’ll never know what that did to me. If … If I thought it’d would’ve done any good, I’d a throwed my face down on the ground and screamed at the top of my lungs. It hurt me that bad to see somebody I love selling their birthright. You don’t understand unless you’ve been there. And maybe some of you have.
But on… She was in this dress, and she was gonna sing. I was gonna let her sing. I… She was holding on. I said, “Now, Sister Vestal, hold on to me good.” I said, “‘Cause it’s real rough between here and the door. It’s washed out places. You hold on to me and I ain’t gonna let you fall.” And she held on to my arm like a granny would, you know, like this. And I walked her up to the door of that tabernacle.
And the preacher’s room was to the right. My name was on the door, so I know it was my tabernacle. And I started in there, and she said, “Lord, have mercy. Brother Shelley, I ain’t never seen the like of holiness people in all of my life.” She said, “Every woman here has got long hair and looks holiness.” She said, “This building is packed to capacity. You couldn’t get another one in here.” She said, “I’ve… You know, honey, I’ve always believed holiness.” She said, “I’ve always believed this was right.” But she said, “I just got a little side-tracked.” She said, “But I believe God’s brought me to the right place that I could get help.” And she said to me, “You still gonna let me sing?” And I looked her right in the face, and I said, “Sister Vestal, when you turned your face away from the Lord, He never took away that gift He gave you to sing. You just march right up there and sing for the glory of the Lord.”
The Bride Standing Before the Throne
July 26, 1992 (Sunday Evening)
Vision given to Brother Shelley
I’ll tell you, I see, by vision, tonight, the church of America on her knees before the throne of God. And she will be judged by the Word of the Lord. He has sent a voice. He has sent a deliverer. And she has held to her creeds, and rejected the way out. [Ed., Blank spot on tape] And I see tonight a bobbed-haired woman, with her lips painted red as rubies, on her knees before the throne of God, by vision. She’s the church of America. She’s on her knees. She’s saying, “Save me! Save me! You can’t let me perish this way!” And a Voice is saying to her, “I sent you a word. I sent you a prophet. I sent you a way out, and you refused.” The judgment of the Lord is upon her. She’s weeping. She’s doomed.
Beside her there stands a lady, not a woman, but a lady. She, too, represents a church. Her hair is long and blonde. Her countenance is like light. Upon her face there’s a smile. I see her teeth as she smiles in the presence of the One on the throne. Hallelujah. O, God. There I am. (Tongues)
A crown is being set upon her head. And upon that crown, the word is righteousness. She’s being crowned with righteousness. She’s been rejected. She’s been ridiculed. She’s been mocked. And God, the One on the throne, is receiving her this night with a crown upon her head. And on the crown is ‘righteousness.’ Hallelujah. Glory. Hallelujah. By vision tonight, I see her hands as she raises them in the air; and that little lady begins to glorify the God of heaven. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. [Ed., Brother Shelley speaks in tongues.] Hallelujah.
Where are you identified? Where are you identified? You better reverence God. Where are you identified tonight? If God should let you see the same picture. “I don’t believe that.” You better not express it in this building if you don’t. Should God let that picture roll before your eyes that He’s just played out in the heavens to me; I wonder, where would you be identified? Would you be identified by a whorish woman kneeling at His throne with the wrath of God upon her; or would you be identified as that little lady elected at the foundation of the world?
She came forth from the bosom of God, and she is returning to His bosom very shortly. Hallelujah. She’s returning from where she has come, back to… Praise Him with me a moment. Praise Him with me a moment. Somebody said, “I can’t feel anything.” May be because you don’t have anything. The Bible said spiritual things are spiritually discerned. Hallelujah.
Granny’s Vision Before Her Death
August 23, 1992 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word by Brother Shelley
And she said she… Her chest was closing up. And she said, “Steve, I wanna talk to you.” But she said, “Your… your cologne and everything you’ve got on…” She said, “I can’t hardly take it with my chest like this.” She said, “Go and take a shower, and come back in here. I wanna talk to you.” Well, I just had took one. But I took another one. And I left off my smell-good. And I went in there, and she said, “I’ve got to talk to you.” She said, “The Lord showed me some things in the night last night.”
And I said, “Alright, granny, tell me.” She said, “I don’t have to tell you, because He told me that He was telling you the same thing.” And I said, “Okay.” She said, “But I don’t wanna say it. I want you to say it.” And I said, “Oh, you’re gonna trick me.” She said, “No. I just don’t want you, when I’m gone, to think that it was my doings. I want you to know it was God.” And I said, “Alright, granny. The Lord dealt with me that we were leaving South Carolina, and we were coming back to take the church.” She said, “Did He show you that everybody was gonna leave you?” I said, “Yes, ma’am.” “Did He show you that they were going to sue you, and try to take the church away from you?” I said, “Yes, ma’am.” She said, “Did He show you that they were gonna take your car, and … and you own possessions that I leave to you?” And I said, “Yes, ma’am.” She said, “Alright. We don’t have anything to worry about. The Lord’s working on both ends of the line.”
She began to talk to me about a vision the Lord had given her. And she said that He took her out, in the spirit, and … to a wheel. And in this wheel, there were spokes that went out in different directions. And she said God carried her out those spokes and let her see the conditions of the world. She saw famine and war and riots and disease. But she said every time she would get out in that condition of the world, God would bring her back down that spoke. And at the hub of that wheel was the anointing, the Shekinah glory of the Lord. And she said, “I want you to make me a promise.” And I said, “Alright.” She said… I’m gonna… It’s hard for me to say it just like she said it, so I’ll try to… clean it up a little. Not that it was ugly, but it was so shocking to hear my granny say after all these years. She said, “You tried to tell me that women didn’t pastor churches.” And she said, “I never would listen.” But she said, “If I lived twenty more years from right now, I’d never step in the pulpit again.” I said, “Granny.” I said, “You tell me why.” She said, “Because I read it in the word what my place is.” She said, “I want you to make me a promise that when you come home, no matter who leaves or who stays or who comes, that you’ll preach the word of God without compromise as it’s been preached to us.” And I said, “Yes, ma’am.” And she said, “And I want you to tell the people that God sent a prophet, and his name was William Branham. And that doesn’t make him any god, or… or any great thing, except a man chosen of the Lord.” And she said, “I wanna tell you one other thing. I believe if you’ll stick with what he preached, you’ll make the rapture.”
An Overcoming Portion
August 31, 1992 (Monday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Yoeman & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
“For behold it is the realness of My Spirit I desire to pour out upon thee, saith the Lord. Yea, I say unto thee, down through the ages of time I have poured out of Myself, but yea I say unto thee again this night that I have in reserve, yea, a portion of My Spirit that has been withheld until the end time, saith the Lord. Knowest thou not that I could not pour out of the full portion of My Spirit until the Word had been restored, saith God?
Yea, I, the Voice of the Lord, speak unto thee this night, my children, and say, The Word of the Lord is not only restored in your ears, but yea, have I restored it in your heart, and now will I pour out the portion of My Spirit that has been reserved for the end time, to raise up a people, saith God that will manifest the power, yea I say unto thee, before the eyes of men.
Knowest thou not, saith the Lord, that I have a portion to speak to thee of, yea, that thou knowest not. Not even, saith the Lord, in the stretch of your imagination could you begin to compass the fullness and the realness of the portion of overcoming power that I will begin to pour out upon your heads. Yea, I say unto thee, take it not collectively, but allow me tonight to restore the Word in your hearts.
And yea I say unto thee when this has happened, individually in this place, I will pour out of an overcoming portion, saith the Lord, a supernatural phase of My Spirit. Yea I say unto thee, and with that I will grant to my children a faith for the rapture, saith the Lord. Doubt not in thine heart, that I will perform this, for I am leading you along from glory to glory to glory to glory. But, behold, I say unto thee, the best for thee is to come. This saith the Lord.”
The Carnal Eye
September 4, 1992 (Friday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Yoeman & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
“Yea from behold, how is it, saith the Lord, my children look with eyes of natural fleshly, saith the Lord? Yea I say unto thee, the carnal eye can never behold the glory of the Lord. Yea I say unto thee, the carnal eye only sees the carnal. Yea I say unto thee, the carnal eye only sees the natural, yea I say unto thee, will only see the circumstance, saith the Lord. But yea I call upon thee this night my children.
Look not with the eyes of the carnal. Look not with the eyes of the natural, saith the Lord, but yea I say unto thee, look with eyes of the Spirit. Knowest thou not that I have given to the believers, saith the Lord, spiritual eyes? Have I not spoken in My Word and said that spiritual things are spiritually discerned? Yea I the Lord thy God would say unto thee that I will bless thee, saith the Lord.
Yea I say unto thee, even in the next few days, saith God, will I pour out my Spirit in this place. But I say unto thee, behold a mystery, a mystery saith the Lord, for many will not see it. Many will look with carnal eyes and it will pass them by. But oh my children, I call unto thee; look with the eyes of the Spirit and I will upbraid thee. I will deliver thee, saith the Lord. I will perfect thee, saith God.
Knowest thou not that this is the hour that I will trim thee to size. Yea I say unto thee, perfection for My people. For this is the hour that I will glorify myself in thee, saith the Lord. How is it that I would receive glory? Yea I say unto thee, the Living God receives glory as the sons of God manifest the power of the Lord.
Yea I say unto thee, seek with spiritual eyes and I will uncover myself to thee and I will expose Myself to thee, My children, and you will see Me, and the eyes of your understanding will be open, and I will reveal Myself unto thee in a way that I have never done unto thee before. Thus saith the Lord.”

“Yea from behold, the Pillar of Fire is with thee this day, saith the Lord. Knowest thou not that I have visited thee. Yea I say unto thee, did I not appear to the Children of Israel in a Pillar of Fire? Yea did I not come in flesh, saith the Lord? Did I not pour out of my Spirit on the day of Pentecost? Yea I say unto thee, you may not perceive me with natural eyes, but I say unto thee, the pillar of fire is among thee this day. Recognize me. I will heal your sick. I will deliver your oppressed. I will deliver, saith the Lord, for the pillar of fire is with thee. Thus saith the Lord.” I…
The Hour Is Late
September 6, 1992 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given by Brother Kessler
“Be glad then ye Children of Zion and rejoice in the Lord your God, for He hath done great things for thee this day, only to show thee that the hour is late. Time is a serious time. He’s calling unto you to walk with Him in a way that you have not known before. He is pouring out of His Spirit for He hath said, ‘I will cause to come down for you the rain,’ the rain which He has given, which He will give again in these last days.
He will raise up a new ministry. He will raise up a ministry that will proclaim God’s Word and a stir will be for the Bride. The Bride will be encouraged to walk with God. She will know and receive from God things that He wants her to know, and He will lead her by His Spirit. Yea, the Lord has spoken to us today. He has reminded us that the way is straight and narrow, that we’re to walk with Him, that we’re to be humble and holy, upright, and to walk worthy unto His name.
Be not afraid. Be not fearful of the things that will come against thee. For lo, I am with you always, even unto the very end. Establish in thine heart that faith that was with the three Hebrews that said, “We know not whether our God will deliver us or not, but one thing for sure, we’re not going to bow down to your image’ God grant these things to your people as we wait upon you.”
I Have Taken Out of Thee that Which Grieved Me
September 6, 1992 (Sunday Evening)
Message in tongues given through Sister Yoeman & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
“Come near, saith the Lord. Yea I say unto thee, draw nigh unto me this night, saith God. Yea I say unto thee, I will cover you, saith the Lord. Knowest thou not, yea my children, thou has conversed today and thou hast said, ‘My, what a time we’ve had today.’ But yea I say unto thee, many have been the times that I have poured out of my Spirit and blessed thee, saith God, and thou has gone on merrily along the way.
But yea I say unto thee, it will not be so this time, for I say unto thee, while you were in My Presence, while I have drawn you unto Myself, yea I say unto thee, saith the Lord, I have taken out of thee, saith God, that which grieved Me. Yea I say unto thee, and I have placed a special sensitivity in thee.
Yea, even as I spoke a rib for my son Adam, yea, and created something for him, I say unto thee, I have taken of thee this night that, saith the Lord, that will hinder thee on the journey. And now come near and I will put into you, saith God, a zeal and a determination that thou hast never had before. Yea, my children, while you were in My Presence, I have done a transformation in your life. Recognize it and praise me, for surely the Lord hath wrought great things among thee this day, saith the Lord.”
Perfect Love
September 20, 1992 (Sunday Evening)
Message in tongues given through Sister Yoeman & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
“Yea from behold, the Lord would say unto thee this night, the walls have fallen among thee, saith God. Yea I say unto thee that I am the Lord thy God, and did I not say unto thee in My Word that I have chosen the foolish things to confound the wise. Yea I the Lord thy God would say unto thee this night, I am moving among thee, saith the Lord, even in the individual heart.
Yea I say unto thee, the walls are falling down and barriers are crumbling in my name, saith God. Surely, I, the Lord thy God, will visit thee according to My Word, and I will establish thy heart, and I will give unto thee perfect love, saith God. Without that perfect love you’ll never see me. Yea I say unto thee, prepare your heart, for I say unto thee the time is short and the time is at hand.
Yea I say unto thee, humble yourselves and forget, saith God, differences among you, and come together this night and stand as one people, and I will deal with thee accordingly. But I say unto thee, great things will I perform for thee because, saith the Lord, you have humbled yourself tonight. Yea I say unto thee, it’s foolishness for the world, but I have chosen this foolishness to establish thee this night, saith the Lord.”
I Have Chosen & I Will Use
September 20, 1992 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Yoeman & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Think it not strange, saith the Lord, that I would speak unto thee this way, this night. Knowest thou not that I am the God that sees tomorrow? saith the Lord. Knowest thou not that I’ve spanned eternity with my mind? saith God. Knowest thou not that I’ve looked ahead, yea, and seen that which is to come? Yea I say unto thee, yea my children, yea I say unto thee, these that stand before thee this night, yea will I fill with a double portion of My Holy Ghost. Yea I say unto thee, I will use them, saith God, even in this church. For I the Lord thy God have chosen, saith the Lord. Yea watch. Watch and see the Word of the Lord come to pass. Have I ever spoken a thing in thy midst and never done it? No, saith God. But I kept my promise. I have done that which I said. Yea I say unto thee, as surely as I have been faithful, I will be faithful again and I will pour out of my Spirit upon thee, saith God. Yea and they will walk in the truth and be instruments of my glory. Yea, tonight I choose them all. I take them all, saith God, as vessels into my hands. From the youngest to the oldest, saith the Lord, this night will I use them if they will submit. Yea, saith God, I will use them. Think it not strange for I have already spoken unto thee that young men would raise up in this church and go forth and do a work for the Lord, saith God. Tonight I will begin that. I will equip and I will quicken. Doubt not, saith God, but believe, for it is spoken unto thee. Thus saith the Lord.
The Foundation
September 27, 1992 (Sunday Morning)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Yoemans & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Behold what foundation, saith the Lord, can any man know than that which has been laid before thee, saith the Lord? Yea I say unto thee this night, I have laid a foundation here, saith the Lord. Yea, I have built upon that foundation, saith God.
Knowest thou not that I have seen the foxes, how that they have come, yea, saith the Lord, to eat away at the foundation of the tender grape, saith God? Knowest thou not that I have seen the enemy as he has disguised himself to come in, saith the Lord? To tear down the foundation that I have built.
I am the Lord thy God, and I vow to thee this night, with a righteous and holy vow, that I will not stand back and suffer the enemy to destroy the foundation that I have laid, saith God. But I will send My Holy Ghost among thee, saith the Lord, as you would cry out unto Me in desperation, as you would humble yourself, as you would call upon the Name of the Lord with a sincere heart.
Yea, I say unto thee that I will come and I will build upon the foundation that I have laid: line upon line, precept upon precept, revelation upon revelation, saith God. Yea I will not lead thee blindly, but I the Lord thy God will come and build upon the foundation that I have laid.
Rejoice, saith the Lord. Rejoice my children and be exceedingly glad, for your Deliverer is among thee, saith God, the Holy One of Israel. The One, saith God, that has tore down the wall of partition and have poured Myself to the Gentiles. I am among thee, saith God.
Rejoice thou that mournest and cry aloud, saith God, and spare not, but rejoice in the midst, for I say unto thee that I have come to build upon that foundation, yea I say unto thee, a house of habitation. And when I have completed the house, I, the Lord thy God, will take possession, saith the Lord, and I will live through thee and work through thee, saith God.
Doubt not in thy heart that I come to build upon that which I have spoken, to build upon that which have laid; Rejoice, rejoice, saith the Lord, for surely I am with thee to build upon the foundation that I have laid. Thus, saith the Lord.
Man’s Traditions

Message in Tongues given though Sister Yoeman & Interpretation given through Brother Cleveland
Do not despair, saith the Lord. I have placed you in this generation to be a great and a shining light to all the world. Be not fearful of man’s traditions. As it was in the days of our Lord Jesus, they had the tradition of the Pharisee, and even in this day the traditions continue on. But I have made you a bright and a shining light.
Be not dismayed what others say. Be not dismayed by the traditions of men, for I have established a people by the mouth of my prophet. Follow that message and I will see you through, saith the Lord.

Message in Tongues & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Come My beloved, saith the Lord. Knowest thou not that all things are prepared, saith God? Knowest thou not that the table is spread, saith the Lord? Knowest thou not that I have bedecked the table with the finest that I would have to offer? Yea, I the Lord thy God would say unto thee, push up thy chair. Pull thyself to My table, saith God. For tonight I have spread for thee, a banquet feast.
Yea, I the Lord thy God would say unto thee that I have thoroughly furnished the table with that which thou needest. Saith the Lord unto thee this night, if thou needest healing, I have served healing. Yea if thou needest deliverance, I have served deliverance. Yea, if thou needest encouragement, I have prepared encouragement for thee.
Knowest thou not that I have labored, saith the Lord, and spread the table before thee this night? How is it that ye will not partake? Yea I say unto thee, pull up thy chair, for the table is spread. Taste tonight and see that the Lord is good. Yea I say unto thee; the riven veil is before thee. Pass through. Pass through. Pass through. Pass through, saith God. The riven veil is before thee. Pass through, saith the Lord, and inside, yea I say unto thee, you will find that table that is prepared for thee, saith God.
Yea I say unto thee, the Father hath not served up leftovers, but yea I say unto thee, I have prepared for thee the best, and yea I say unto thee, and a fresh anointing to cover it all, saith the Lord. Listen my children to the Word of the Lord and hearken unto His voice.
For tonight I visited thee and called thee beyond the riven veil to taste of the goodness of the Lord. Tonight, saith God, enter in and be not ashamed and be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed to obey the voice of God, but flow in My Spirit, for I will give thee bread to eat and meat thou knowest not. Yea I say unto thee, it is yours. I have prepared it in love for thee. Yea I say unto thee, I did not hire it prepared, but I have prepared it Myself; out of My own hand has it come. Eat, eat my children. Drink, for I am in thy midst. The Bridegroom has visited thee this night. Thus, saith the Lord.

Message in Tongues given through Brother Skipworth & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Yea from behold the Lord would say unto thee this night, give Me the right-of-way, saith the Lord. Yield of yourself tonight, saith God. Yea I say unto thee, murmur not against the moving of the Spirit.
For yea, I say unto thee, even the Children of Israel murmured against the moving of My hand, and they were cut off, saith God. Yea I say unto thee My children, maybe there would be one among you that wouldn’t feel My presence, but yea I say unto thee, be careful what you say, for I am the Lord thy God and I am in the midst of thee.
Yea I say unto thee, I desire to restore health, saith the Lord. It’s not My will that you be sick and suffering, saith God. But it is My will to give unto thee the Balm of Gilead, the healing portion, saith the Lord.
My children, My children, be careful, saith God, not to point at one another. But put away the pointing of the finger one toward another, saith the Lord, and yield. Give Me right-of-way. Give Me the right-of-way, saith God, and I will do greater things, and I will pour out of Myself in a greater measure. Yield! Yield yourself! Give me the right-of-way. Thus saith the Lord.

Message in Tongues given through Sister Yoeman & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Yea from behold, the Lord would say unto thee this night, My children, My children, My children, I call thee aside now for just a moment to speak unto thee, saith the Lord. Yea I say unto thee, I am in the midst of thee this night. Stand together, not in the name of a man, but in My Name, saith the Lord, and yea I number thee here, saith God. Yea I say unto thee to reach out. Reach out unto Me and touch Me, for I am the Lord and it is My pleasure to help thee and to bless thee, saith God.
Yea I say unto thee, it is hard. It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. But yea I say unto thee, as I search the congregation, saith the Lord, I have seen some that have kicked against the pricks, saith God, yea I say unto thee, despising the very liberty that God would bring, But yea I say unto thee, I have gathered thee together tonight with forgiveness, saith the Lord, not to condemn thee or to judge thee, but to speak unto your heart and to say unto thee that the ripening of the harvest grain is at hand.
Yea I say unto thee, the Son is risen, saith the Lord, to ripen the grain, saith God. Allow the Son to ripen the grain, saith God and raise up the children of the Lord in the earth. Knowest thou not, saith God, that a mighty deliverance is needed among My own people, saith God, and this is the hour that I will deliver and I will set free.
Yea, be not carried away with that which Satan is doing, but be carried away with what I have done for thee and what I will do, saith the Lord.
Yea I say unto thee, if thou hast waited for the go-ahead, I say unto thee this night, I give unto My children the go-ahead. Move forward, saith the Lord. Tear down every obstacle, for the Holy Ghost is with thee and I will usher thee ahead. Yea, I say unto thee, move forward in that which I have called thee to do and nothing shall be spared from thy hands, saith the Lord.

Leaving behind, saith God, the doctrines, saith the Lord: laying on of hands and of baptisms. I call unto thee this night, come unto perfection, saith the Lord. Knowest thou not that I am the Master, saith God, and I place thee on My wheel? Yea, saith the Lord, I have seen thee when thou has become hard, and just in time, saith God, I have come to keep thee pliable.
Yea I say unto thee, when satan would have hardened thee, so that I could not mold thee, I have sent heavenly waters, saith the Lord, to moisten the clay. Yea I say unto thee, the clay is moist tonight, and I can have My way. Yea I can mold it in My hand. Come to the potter’s wheel, saith God.
Place yourself in My hand, for I would mold thee this night, and when I have completed, I will fire thee, saith the Lord, full of My Holly Ghost, calling thee out in the midst of the furnace of affliction. And when thou hast been completed, I will put thee on display. Thus saith the Lord.
Trust in the Resurrection

Message in Tongues given through Sister Yoemans & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Yea I say unto thee, as the casket has been draped, surely it will be draped again, saith the Lord. Yea I say unto thee, as I have come and chosen, taken one, saith the Lord, yea I say unto thee, here will surely come a time that I will take another.
But yea I say unto thee, our hope is not in the grave, saith the Lord. Put not thy trust in that, saith God, but put your trust in the resurrection. For yea I say unto you that the next time you see those you love, saith the Lord, it will be in the resurrection, saith God.
Yea I say unto thee that the time is at hand that I will call forth mine elected ones, saith God, and I will raise them triumphant before me, saith the Lord, and as you see that resurrection, yea, it will change thy mortal body, saith the Lord.

Knowest thou not that I, Myself, saith God, have sewn for thee a wedding garment? Yea I say unto thee, the wedding garment of My Word. Hurry children, and take off the old robe and put on the Word, saith God. For yea, I say unto thee, the music is in place, and the angels are the guests, and yea I say unto thee, the ceremony is at hand.
Hurry, for yea I say unto thee, the marriage of the Lamb is at hand. Oh children, hear the Word of the Lord and recognize the voice of your Beloved. For I call unto thee, hurry and prepare, for I say unto thee the wedding is at hand, saith the Lord.
Seven Years Without Dreams & Visions
November 1, 1992 (Sunday Morning)
Prophetic Word given by Brother Shelley
…you know why it was seven years that I never dreamed a dream or saw a vision or heard the voice of the Lord. Because I got to the place where it cost me more than I wanted to pay. And I balled my fist up at God and said, “God, I love You. I’m gonna serve You. But leave me alone.” And if you have never been there you wouldn’t understand. It’s a wonder God hadn’t a just… vaporated me.

Message in tongues given through Sister Yoeman & Interpretation through Brother Shelley
Touch not Mine anointed and do My prophets no harm, saith the Lord. Yea, I say unto thee, the hour is dark and gross darkness covers the face of the deep. And yea I say unto thee, there is but a flickering light, saith the Lord.
But yea I say unto thee, have I shined a great light unto My seed, saith God? Knowest thou not that I am sending a Word, saith the Lord? Even as I have spoken in My Word and said that I would send the four angels of heaven. They would go to the four parts of the earth and gather in.
Yea, did I not say that I would send them to gather in a Jewish elect? Yea, I say unto thee, but in your hour, saith God, I have sent a Word, and I am sending more of My servants, saith the Lord, yea I say unto thee, to gather in, saith God, the Bride from the four parts of the earth. For I say unto thee, this is the final harvest. I say unto thee there’ll never be another harvest when this one is passed.
But My Spirit goes forth in this hour to call My seed out of denomination, to call My seed out of bondage, to call My seed out of ignorance. Stretch forth not thine hand against this, saith God, or yea I say unto thee, you’ll wither in the Presence of the loving God.
For the Word of the Lord is come to thee this day to say unto thee, walk in the path that I have cleared for thee, for I say unto thee, the way has been made. Walk ye in it, saith the Lord.
I Called You to Go
November 8, 1992 (Sunday Morning)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Yoemans & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
As I opened the Red Sea, saith the Lord, for Moses to lead My children, saith God, yea I say unto thee, this hour will I open the Red Sea for thee, saith God. Yea I say unto thee, as I cleared a path for my children to walk out of bondage into freedom, saith the Lord, yea I say unto thee, go in My Name for I have already prepared the way.
Yea I say unto thee, I have already visited places, saith God, and I have opened up the door and I have made the way, saith the Lord. And even this day have I begun to prepare the hearts of the people to receive Me, saith the Lord. Yea I say unto thee, you’ll be well received, for I have made the way, saith God. Yea I say unto thee, I will confirm My Word in thee with signs and wonders, saith God. And yea I say unto thee, the demon possessed shall fall before Me, for I will go, saith God, and I will bring deliverance.
Knowest thou not that the hour is late and the time is at hand for deliverance, saith God? Go! Go in My Name and take courage, for I speak unto thee this hour, that I will hold to your hand and I will be with thee. Yea, I say unto thee, I will heal the sick, saith the Lord.
And yea, I say unto thee, even I have spoken to a woman, saith the Lord, who will come with deafness in one ear, and yea, by the hand of the Lord I will heal her, as a confirmation that I called thee to go. Thus saith the Lord.
I Will Not Be Mocked
November 8, 1992 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Brother Leonard & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Mock, saith God. Mock, saith God. For in three days… Knowest thou not that I have been in the midst of thee? Knowest thou not that I am the living God, and I read the heart of man? Knowest thou not that I know, saith God, when one would not understand, saith the Lord, and knowest thou not that I understand, and I have mercy towards you, saith God?
But yea I say unto thee, there be some in the midst that have come close enough to understand the working of God, and yet in your heart you would not only doubt, but you would mock, saith God.
Yea I say unto thee, if thou wouldest continue, have I not said already, thus will I perform? In three days, saith God, you will be as naught. But I the living God have never made a promise, saith the Lord, unless I would come and offer a door of escape for thee.
Yea I say unto thee, if thou wouldest repent in thine heart and if thou wouldest confess, saith God,that you are wrong and that you need deliverance from the Lord, not from man; then I will deliver thee, saith God, and I would set thee free, and I would give thee grace.
Yea I say unto thee, thou hast already said in thine heart, “I’ll prove this thing and see if it be the truth.” But I say unto thee, to do that would be to gamble with your soul. Repent this night before the living God, for I would love thee and call thee. But I say unto thee, if thou wouldest turn away, yea I say unto thee, I’ll pour out my wrath as a sign, saith God, that I am true, and that I am living, and that I will not be mocked. For whatsoever a man soweth he shall reap, saith God.

Message in Tongues given through Sister Burgess & Interpretation given through Brother Tommy Rector
For I would say unto my people tonight, that as before, I have held a sheaf offering oath. Once more I will wave that same sheaf offering over thee. I have sent you a messenger, I have given him My Word, and I will stand behind what he says. You people get behind your leader, for Thus saith the Lord, within a very short time you will see the mighty hand of God and I will vindicate My servant. Thus saith the Lord.

For behold She stands, saith the Lord, dressed in the Word of the Hour, saith God. Yea I, the Lord thy God, would say unto thee this night, as I look upon Her, yea I see Her dressed, even in this place, this night, saith God, in the revelation that I have given Her.
Yea I say unto thee that the hour is coming, saith God, and even now is beginning, saith the Lord, that I will pour everything that I have into Her, saith God. And you will see Her in Her glory and in Her fullness, saith God. Everything that I am, She will be.
There She comes, saith the Lord, manifesting Me, saith God. Look unto that hour. Strip, saith God, of every hindrance, and lay aside every weight, for She is on display in this hour. Thus saith the Lord.
Believe with Your Whole Heart
December 5, 1992 (Saturday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Yoeman & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Many children are hungry and cannot be fed. Many bodies are broken and cannot be healed. Many are bound and cannot be delivered, saith the Lord. Why is it, My children? Why is it? Yea I say unto thee, because my children have not looked upon Me as they should, and they have allowed doubt, saith God, to hinder.
But I say unto thee this night, that I would do that which I have spoken even before. If you would not doubt, saith the Lord, but believe with your whole heart, and lay yourself on the line for God tonight, I will heal your broken body and I will set captives free, saith the Lord. For I say unto thee, there is liberty in this place. Worship Me and enter in behind the veil, for I call thee to that place in the name of Jesus.

Message in Tongues given through Sister Yoeman & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Prepare your heart, saith the Lord, for I am in the midst of thee this night. Knowest thou not that when My children are gathered together in My Name, that I am there in the midst? Knowest thou not as some of you would sit, saith the Lord, as you would sit from night to night, but I say unto thee that this is not ordinary, for you have come with expectation, saith the Lord.
And now I say unto you, expect the impossible, for I am the God of the impossible, saith the Lord. Surely I will visit thee this night and I will deliver some who are in need of deliverance. Yea I say unto thee, there is one in the midst, yea, that has held something back. But I say unto thee tonight, if you’ll cast it at My feet, I will deliver thee, saith God.
Yea I say unto thee that secret thing, that thing which thou has done, saith God, behind closed doors, it has been hidden from the eyes of man but not from God. I will deliver thee this night of the spirit that pulls thee to that thing, saith God, and give you victory. Prepare yourself now, for soon I will pour out of My Spirit in this place. Thus saith the Lord.

Message in Tongues given through Sister Burgess & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
(The first part refers to Sister Burgess)
See my daughter, saith the Lord. See how that the enemy would raise his hand against her, saith God. See how that the enemy would have taken her life, even this day. Yea I say unto thee, there’s some that would say, “Well, this is something that happens. She would have got over it.” But I say unto thee this day, that satan would have come to destroy.
But I am the Resurrection, the Truth, and the Life, and I have come to thee this day, by the Word of the Lord, and even now am I walking in the midst of thee. Recognize Me, saith the Lord, for I come this day to bring life. Yea and I have restored and raised up My daughter. But I would say unto thee, I have come to give life, spiritual life, to those who are spiritually dead.
Drink! Drink, I say unto thee! Don’t let this day pass until you drink, saith God. For I say unto thee that My eyes have seen spiritual death among thee like a plague. But I have sent My Word to stand today between the living and the dead, and I will speak the Voice of Resurrection to thee. If thou wouldest submit, I would raise thee from spiritual death unto Spiritual Life this day. Thus saith the Lord.
The Rising of the Son
December 6, 1992 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Yoemans & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Come see the place where the Savior lay, saith the Lord. For He is not there, but He is risen. Yea I say unto thee that, that you would feel in the midst of thee this night, is the rising of the Son, saith the Lord. He is not in the grave, but I have risen, saith the Lord, and am manifesting Myself in My children in the end time.
Let the Son shine, saith the Lord. Let Me shine in your life, for I say unto thee that the hour is dark and My Bride is a reflection of Me. Yea I say unto thee, shine on, little Bride! Shine on! For soon I will come and gather thee unto Myself, saith the Lord.
Woke from a Spiritual Dream
December 13, 1992 (Sunday Morning)
Dream given to Brother Shelley
Let me tell what Brother West did to me last Christmas. I guess he’s on fire now, and he wouldn’t do this to me. But last Christmas, we was out at Christmas meeting. And I was preaching and praying for the sick long hours, and weak, and everything. It was a hard meeting. And I was sleeping that morning. We had somewhere to go. And Brother West is one of these people, Sister West, he thinks when he’s up the whole world ought to be up, you know. He hates to get up, I reckon. And so he thinks everybody else ought to be up.
And the shower was right next to my bedroom. And I was dreaming a spiritual dream. The Lord was speaking to my heart. He really was. I’m not making it up. And all of a sudden, Brother West started caterwauling in the shower. He called it singing. I mean loud. I don’t remember what he was singing. Loud, he was caterwauling. And it woke me up out of that dream, and I didn’t get the end of it. And I’ll tell you, that really vexed me.
And when he come in there that morning to tell me it was my turn in the shower, I pointed my finger at him. I said, “I want you to know that I was dreaming a spiritual dream, and the Lord was speaking to me. And you sung in the shower and woke me up.” You know what? The Lord let me go back to sleep another time and dream that dream. And I didn’t dream the first part again. It took up right where he woke me up, and let me dream the end of it. That’s supernatural. That’s how God operates.
Give Up!
December 13, 1992 (Sunday Evening)
Prophecy given through Brother Shelley
Give up, saith the Lord. Give up! For I say unto thee, when my children give up and let Me take over, that’s when I will deliver. Take your hands off, saith God, and allow Me to move for thee, saith the Lord. Yea I say unto thee, man’s way is not My way. For I see things that man doth not see, saith God. Take your hands off, children. I have taken these things into My hand. I have taken your lives into My control. It is not by chance that I have brought you to this place and set you here as adamant stones, saith God.
I have placed each one of thee in this place for a purpose, saith the Lord. Give up! Take your hands off, saith God, and I will be in control. I will take care of it all. Worry not and fret not thyself because of circumstances, for this is My will and I will perfect it for thee. But I ask of thee tonight, leave it alone, for I am sovereign, and when you, saith God, will try, it hinders me. Leave it alone, saith the Lord, for I will take care of it. Yea I say unto thee, soon you’ll stand back and know that I have had it all the time, in my power, saith the Lord.
I Will Keep Thee
December 13, 1992 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Yoemans & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Surely, My children, the Lord would say unto thee this night, surely, I have been, surely I am, surely I will forever be, saith the Lord. Surely, saith God, I will supply your needs. Surely, I say unto thee, I will keep thee, saith God. Knowest thou not that I have never led one sheep in a way that he or she would not know and leave them there alone, saith God?
But yea I will be with thee. I will lead thee. I will guide thee and I will direct thee, saith the Lord. Yea I will allow these things to fall into place for thee, for thou art Mine, saith the Lord. Yea I say unto thee, prepare your heart, for greater things are in store for thee, saith God.
Yea I say unto thee, I have done this and I will finish the task, saith the Lord. Yea I say unto thee, I just wanted to remind thee this night that I am able to keep that which you’ve committed to Me. Rest. Rest in Me, saith the Lord, for I will take care of it all. I am your God. I am your helper. Thus saith the Lord.
I Will Finish My Work in Thee
December 27, 1992 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Yoemans & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
No chastisement is good for the moment, saith the Lord. But yea I say unto thee, have I not spoken to thee in My Word and said, “If I chasten thee not, thou art none of mine, but a bastard?” Yea the Lord thy God would say unto thee that I have placed a special thing in this church, saith the Lord, and I have called out and revealed and rebuked that, saith the Lord, all down through the time that I have met with My people here and I will continue to do that, saith the Lord.
Knowest thou not that a potter has to mold the clay? Knowest thou not that a gem cutter must cut away that, that is not necessary to reflect that which is on the inside, saith God? Yea, I the Lord thy God sayeth unto thee, everyone under the sound of the voice of the Spirit of God, submit thyself. Hold nothing back, saith the Lord, but submit thyself unto the Lord. For I will chasten the whole church, but I will bring a body of believers together that satan cannot have his way among them.
Yea I, the Lord thy God, would say unto thee, when I have cleansed thee, perfected thee and set thee apart, there is not a devil in hell that can touch thee, saith God, not even death.
For thou art My Bride, and I will perfect thee in this place. Submit thyself to the tool of the Master. For He has power over the clay, to mold the clay. Yea I say unto thee, be moldable and pliable, and yea I say unto thee, I will finish My work in thee. Thus saith the Lord.
A Place of Refuge
December 27, 1992 (Sunday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Yoemans & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
By vision, I showed it. By prophecy, I confirmed it. By the power of My Spirit, I brought it to pass, saith the Lord. Yea I, the Lord thy God, would say unto thee this night, doubt not in thine heart, neither worry or fret, for I say unto thee that I will do this thing that has been spoken to thee this night.
Yea I say unto thee, I speak unto thee specifically, saith the Lord. I tell you that I will make the way and I will visit My people there. For I say unto thee, it is the will of God. I’ve chosen it, saith the Lord, as a place of refuge.
Yea I say unto thee, men and women will come from the east and the west, the north and the south, to that place, saith God, and be renewed by My Spirit, and delivered of all manner of evil spirits. The sick will be healed, saith God, and I will use that place as an encouragement to the Bride.
Yea I say unto thee, put thy shoulder to the plow and be ready to work. For I say unto thee, the work is great and we are separated upon the wall. But yea I say unto thee, in whatsoever place ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither, for our God shall fight for us.
Yea I say unto thee this night; the trumpet is sounding in this place. The Message of the Hour is being declared. For I say unto thee, it is chosen and I will bring this thing to pass. Rejoice, My people, for you will eat of the fruit of My vineyard that I have planted, shortly. Thus saith the Lord.
Humble Yourself Under the Mighty Hand of God
December 29, 1992 (Tuesday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Yeomans & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Have I not said, saith the Lord, that when a lamb is led to the slaughter, he does not demand his rights? saith God. But yea I say unto thee, he willingly gives up, willingly yields and willingly surrenders. Yea I say unto thee, doubt not in thine heart that I would have had this spoken tonight.
But I have allowed it to come this way to stir thee up, saith the Lord. Yea, that you all might become even as that lamb, saying, “I have no rights. I have no rights of my own but I yield myself to the Shepherd, the Great Shepherd, the Shepherd of the Great Sheepfold.”
Yea I say unto thee this night, listen My children. Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, for I will lead thee with a supernatural leading. I will direct thee with a supernatural direction. But I say unto thee, he that is among thee, yea, that would demand his own rights, he will lose his life. But I say unto thee, he that is willing to lose his life, shall gain eternal life. Thus saith the Lord.

Message in Tongues given through Brother Leonard & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
I’ve seen the hunger in your heart, saith the Lord, as I search this congregation this night, saith God. I see those that have come to this place because they are hungry for more of Me.
Yea I say unto thee, open up your heart and receive, for I am in the midst of thee, and this night, saith the Lord, I will fill thee up to overflowing. Yea I say unto thee that a new year is approaching, and yea I say unto thee that this is the year of victory for the Bride of Jesus Christ. Thus saith the Lord.
The Healer of Broken Wings
December 31, 1992 (Thursday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Yoemans & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
Consider the things that thou hast seen, saith God. Did I not say unto thee in My Word that I would send My Word and that I would confirm My Word with signs following, saith God? Yea I, the Lord thy God, would say unto thee that I have not only sent My Word in this hour, but that I confirmed it before the whole world, saith God.
And yea I say unto thee, let man mock, for he will mock, but I say unto thee to mock that that God has sent is eternal damnation to the soul. I, the Lord thy God, would say unto thee, pray for them that despitefully use thee, saith the Lord, and they that are against thee, for many do it in ignorance.
But I say unto thee that the Word has come. The Evening Light has come, saith God and I have vindicated it, and yea, I, the Lord thy God, would say unto thee, walk ye in it for I am the healer of broken wings, saith the Lord. And I will heal thee this night, and I will remove the hurt, and I will raise thee up, saith God, and cause thee to soar higher than ever before. Thus saith the Lord.
The King’s Highway
December 31, 1992 (Thursday Evening)
Message in Tongues given through Sister Yoemans & Interpretation given through Brother Shelley
I not only vindicated My Word, saith the Lord, when I sent a prophet, but I say unto thee, I have vindicated My Word before your eyes in this place, saith God. I’ve shown you the Word, and I’ve shown you thus saith the Lord, and then I have performed it before your very eyes.
Now I say unto thee that satan, your adversary, would steal the good things of God from you. But I say unto thee this night, put your foot on that that you have heard and that that you have seen, and walk up the King’s highway.
For I say unto thee, a quick, short work is to follow this, and when that is finished, I will catch My Bride away. Fear not, neither be thou dismayed, but walk in the Light that is shined in thy path, for I have confirmed it, not only in sending a messenger, saith the Lord, but I have confirmed it in this assembly. Thus saith the Lord.
