The Family Altar Audio Devotional - Day 309

But to which of the angels said he at any times, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Hebrews 1:13-14) 30 Here not long ago, a man met me; he said, “Brother Branham, I tried to search your ministry, your teaching, but there’s only thing…” and this a full Gospel brother. He said, “There’s only one thing that you make a mistake in.” He said, “That is: talking about an Angel.” Said, “That’s God.” I said… He said, “There’s no Angels of the New Testament. Angels was of the Old Testament.” Said, “Daniel had Angels, and so forth, that followed him, and the old prophets and so forth. But in the New Testament the Holy Spirit governs and leads the Church.” I said, “You’re correct. The Holy Spirit does. But still we have Angels which are ministering Spirits sent from God.” And he said, “Not in the New Testament, Brother Branham.” And I said, “Yes.” I said, “How about the Angel Gabriel with Mary?” Said, “That was before Pentecost.” I said, “Then you mean after Pentecost?” He said, “Yes.” I said, “Do you believe that Philip had the Holy Ghost?” He said, “Sure.” I said, “Who was It that called him away from that big revival down there and sent him out into the—the desert, Gaza, then? What was it? Was it the Holy Ghost or was It the Angel of the Lord?” It was the Angel of the Lord. 31 I said, “Who would doubt, but what that great Saint Peter had the baptism of the Holy Ghost? You believe that, don’t you? And when he was in jail that night, and they was going to behead him the next morning, and down at John Mark’s house was having a prayer meeting, Who was it come in like a big Pillar of Light and shined in on him, and loosened him up? Was it the Holy Ghost? No, sir. It was the Angel of the Lord.” That’s right. Who would say that Saint Paul didn’t have the Holy Ghost? And out there on that ship, and it waterlogged, fourteen days and nights no moon or stars, and all hopes they’d ever be saved was gone. And he went down in the gallery to pray, and when he come back out, said, “Be of a good courage, for the Angel of God, Whose servant I am, stood by me last night, saying, ‘Fear not, Paul. Thou must be brought before Caesar, and lo, God has give all these that sail with you to you.’” Said, “Wherefore, be of a good courage. For I believe God, that’ll be just as He told me.” Amen. Paul had the Holy Ghost. 32 And look the whole Book of Revelations was wrote, sent, a Message by an Angel. “I, Jesus, have sent My Angel to signify these things which must shortly come to pass.” Now, a true angel, you’re going to throw back Joseph Smith and so forth, to me. But, watch. It don’t work with the Scripture. A real true Angel will come and vindicate this Scripture to the dot. Yes, sir. Notice, that John fell down and wanted to worship that Angel. And He said, “See that you do it not, for I am thy fellow, thy fellow servants, and of the prophets worship God.” A true Angel won’t be worshiped. It’s not worship of Angels; it’s a ministry of Angels that comes from God. Now, these minor Angels comes, perhaps, it’s Angels with us, or comes to your—your humble servant. And that’s probably a minor Angel. But when Gabriel comes, brother, there’s something really on the road, something major going to happen. May… Gabriel announced the first coming of the Lord Jesus, and Gabriel will announce the second coming of the Lord Jesus. Amen. 55-0612 - "The Presence Of The Lord Jesus" Rev.
