2 Class Name: Speak The WORD LESSON: Good morning class! Today we are going to talk about something that is very special to the Bride of Jesus Christ. Pass out the books and have the children write their name inside the cover. How many of you know Brother Branham loved to hunt? Yes, he loved to hunt! It was time for him to have Quiet Time all alone with God, in the woods. The Lord would speak to him there, and many times the Lord would give Brother Branham things to tell US! There are many special stories from when God s prophet went hunting. He loved to come back to Indiana to take a rest during that time. Does anyone know when squirrel season begins in Indiana? Yes, August 15th. Page # 1- fill in date next to Red Letter Calendar. We are going to be talking about two VERY special times when Brother Branham went squirrel hunting. The first time something was ever spoken into existence during Brother Branham s ministry was while he was out squirrel hunting! Do you know what he spoke into existence? Yes, squirrels! This means that the squirrels were not there before, but after Brother Branham SPOKE THE WORD, they were there! Now, the first time was on October 10, Brother Branham was hunting in Salem, Indiana.

Page #3 & 4 Now, it was late in the hunting season, a lot of the leaves were off the trees and it was a very windy morning. Those are bad conditions to be squirrel hunting! But while Brother Branham was out hunting he had been thinking on a certain special Scripture. (Pg.#4) Let s turn in our Bibles to Mark 11: This is Jesus speaking. Read Mark 11: For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Amen! If we just SAY it and don t doubt we can have what we desire! Let us hear Brother Branham describe this SPECIAL morning for us. (Page # 3) Play Quote 1 2 Quote 1 ( 2 mins 15 secs): 84 On that morning, of the 10th which would be Then, on the 18th, the season would close in Indiana, we would have no more squirrel hunting. 85 So I said, This will be the last time I can go out. And we gathered a bunch together, and I strayed them around the woods. I went way back, up into a place where I love to go, at Salem. Season was late. Squirrels were few. I had been out several times, just getting one squirrel at a time. 86 So, this morning, I made my way to the same woods, and a wind rose and begin to blow. And anyone who hunts, knows that s a bad morning. I hunted all the woods through, without seeing one squirrel, or hearing one. I went down into a creek bottom, and started up to find another little scope of woods. And as I drew near this little wood, there was a a lot of walnut trees, and locust trees, the leaves all off of them, just a bare thicket. Along beside them, two sycamore trees. Now, squirrels don t hang around sycamores. But right up from it, I seen, looked like, I got the glimpse I caught the glimpse of a squirrel going up through the woods, but he was running fast. 87 Oh, I said, there s no need of hunting. Here is people out here, the farmers picking their corn, right around this little woods. The squirrels would not be here. So I sit down between the two trees, and propped my feet up on one and leaned back against the other, in the warm sunshine. I thought, I ll just take a little nap, then I ll get Brother Banks, and Brother Sothmann, and the boys, as I go back, and down the road. And as I sit there [Brother Branham coughs two times Ed.] Pardon me. 88 As I sit there, under the tree, just got snugged down, and the warm sun shining on me. Something said, If you say to this mountain, Be thou plucked up and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in your heart, but believe that those things that you ve said will come to pass, you can have what you ve said. 89 I said, Well, now, there is that Scripture in my mind again My New Ministry Scene 1 flannel graph As Brother Branham was thinking on that Scripture, a real deep, sweet anointing of the Holy Spirit came. Something began speaking to him. Play Quote 2 Quote 2 (1 min 35 sec): 98 Just then a real deep, sweet anointing of the Holy Spirit raised me, like, off of my feet, and said, Say what you will, and it shall be given unto you. 99 I stood there, amazed. It left me. I had nothing. I thought, Well, what could I say? There s no sick people here. There s nothing here. I m in the woods. What could I say? What what what could I do? And I thought, Am I losing my mind? Have I studied so hard till my mental powers are cracking up? 100 And just then I heard It, just the same as you hear me, said, Aren t you hunting, and you have no game? Said, Speak anything that you wish. 101 Well, I thought this, God said, Prove all things. I said, Lord God, if that be You, and this is a sign that You re fixing to change my ministry from those visions, to something greater, that I ve looked for so long, I said, let it come to pass that You ll answer my prayer. And I stood there a little bit. And I thought, What did He say? He didn t say, Pray. He said, Say what you will. Just say it, and your words will materialize. Say to this mountain, and it ll do just as you say My New Ministry 3

3 Amen! So what did the Voice say to him? Did It say pray or say? Right! SAY it! And it will materialize. Just Speak The Word! And it will be! Brother Branham was hunting and there weren t any squirrels. He didn t have any game to hunt. Page # 5 & 6 Let s hear what Brother Branham speaks.

And I found that old locust thicket; I said I usually set my sights in for fifty yards. I The Lord I m not a shot, but I I if my gun won t drive a tack at fifty yards, it s out. So then, I was I shoot squirrels, never shoot one with his back turned, or head turned; I got to see him just right and shoot him in the eye with a.22 rifle. Now, if it don t, let him go. So then And I said, There s fifty yards, about the distance across this building; I said, And there shall come a young red squirrel and set on that old naked limb out yonder and I ll shoot him from right here. And there come the squirrel. I turned the gun, aimed up, through the little telescope sight I seen its eye, shot it, dropped down. I walked over to look at it; I thought, It s bleeding; a vision don t bleed. And I I looked at it, picked the squirrel up, felt it; it was a real squirrel. I got real scared. Wow!

They wouldn t walk out there like that, and I been hunting all morning. So I stood there just a little bit, and I said, Lord, if that was You, the Bible said, two or three witness is a confirmation. It can t happen a second time. So I walked up side the hill and set down, and I said, Now, here I m acting crazy. And I said, Well, I I ll just get ready and go home now.

And I looked out in the field, towards the field there s just a big old slick snag out there with one big old limb run out. And I said, And it shall come to pass there will be a young squirrel go out on that limb, set on the end of the limb and look over at the farmers cutting their corn, shucking their corn, and I ll kill him from this tree right here. It shall be that way. 42 I stood there a minute, no squirrel, looked back. About five minutes passed, no squirrel. Well, I said I thought, Well, this is enough. Anyhow, it s getting time for me to go. I said, I better go. And I started to walk away, and as I did Something said, But you ve already spoke it. And the Scripture says If you ll not doubt in your heart but believe that what you have said Hallelujah. I waited up against the side of a tree. I looked off, looked back; there no squirrel. I waited another ten minutes, no squirrel. I said, How could a squirrel ever get out there? So I said, Well, I guess I ll just move along, and I ll be going home because it s time to pick up Mr. Sothmann and them, so I ll just walk on. I started to walk away like that. Said, Are you doubting? God knows how to school you. Are you doubting that what you said? I said, No, I m not doubting. And just as I said that, coming out that limb come a young squirrel, walked out to the end of the limb, and stood looked over at the farmers. I shot him from right there, making my three squirrels. And I said, I m going to see if there s another squirrel in this territory. And I was about three hours late picking up Mr. Sothmann and them, couldn t even hear one. I went home. I told them. It bothered me. I didn t know what to think about it. Wow! So it happened for the third time! He made it radical! What did he say that squirrel would do? And I said, And it shall come to pass there will be a young squirrel go out on that limb, set on the end of the limb and look over at the farmers cutting their corn, shucking their corn, and I ll kill him from this tree right here. It shall be that way. He even walked around for three hours to see if there were any other squirrels in the territory. Brother Branham spoke three red squirrels into existence. Each time the squirrels appeared and did just how he said they would do. Did this third one appear right away? Noo Brother Branham had to wait several minutes didn t he, but what did Jesus say? For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Mark 11:23 5

Play Quote 7 Quote 7 (2 mins 30 secs) 43 About two weeks later I was down in the state of Kentucky where squirrel season was still in, with friends of mine, Mr. Wood and his brother-in-law. And I was standing down there, and we went hunting that morning. And oh, windy, and the leaves all off the trees, bad time to squirrel hunt. So we Good hunters wasn t catching over about one a day. And and you had to be have a shotgun to get them with it then, and me hunt [Blank spot on tape Ed.] And you shall have them. And I thought, Now, here, I don t I don t know about that now. It s too unlikely this morning, sure enough, and not no squirrels in here at this time of year. And it so cold we had on so many clothes I was just shivering as hard as I could. I thought, No squirrels. Leaves about that deep on the ground, you could hear you like a a herd of antelope coming through. And so I was walking along like that, and it struck me again and said, Ask what you will. And I stopped, and put my gun down, took off my hat, and I said, Heavenly Father, I m down here in these mountains; what what s these things about? Is that You speaking to me? Is it You, Lord. Where are You at? I usually see that Your Light, where are You at? Speak to me, Lord. If there s anything You want me to do, I ll do it. Have I found grace in Your sight? I said, I Just speak to me. And said, Ask what you will, and it ll be given to you. I said, Then if that be You, I shall have my three squirrels this morning, gray squirrels. That s reds in Indiana. And I said, I shall have my three squirrels. Something said, Which way will they come from? And I thought, There it is. I could hear it just as plain as you hear me. And I said, One will come from this a way; one will come from back that way; and one will come from that way. 6 TURN TO PAGE # 13 & #14 Scene 6 flannel graph: Add Kentucky Scene #1 & Squirrel #1, Brother Branham in red clothes, gun, and compass. 44 I leaned up against a little tree and waited a few minutes. I didn t see any squirrels, getting late, time to go back almost. I looked back across the hill and way up, about a hundred and twenty-five yards. I guess, I seen something look like it was on a stump. A gray squirrel is very small. I looked through the little telescope, and I couldn t tell if it was a squirrel or not. I kept watching it; it jumped off the stump, started down by the side of a tree. Well, that s an awful long shot. But I just knelt down on my knee and laid my gun across the side of my hand, killed the squirrel. Wow! It happened again! That sweet, super Anointing came and told Brother Branham to just SPEAK IT! How many squirrels did he say he was going to get this time? Right, three! What color were the squirrels to be this time in Kentucky? Gray. This really seemed impossible! It was SO cold, he was all bundled up and shivering! There wouldn t have been ANY squirrels-- until he Spoke The Word. How long of a shot was this first squirrel? One hundred and twenty-five yards. That s a lot longer shot than fifty yards. Page #13 fill in blank (squirrel). Page # 14 place sticker Kentucky squirrel #4.

I waited about fifteen minutes, here come a squirrel. So I throwed another shell up in the gun and leveled down. Just as I started to level down the second squirrel come. I said, Oh, praise the Lord; there s the second one; there they are. So I raised up, shot the first one, killed him right dead, hit him right through the eye. So what happened? Brother Branham turned to the direction he said his next squirrel would be, and after fifteen minutes he saw it! As he was just about to shoot his second squirrel, he saw another squirrel appear. He shot his second squirrel, and he THOUGHT the other squirrel that came up at the same time would be the third squirrel he spoke for. But let s hear what happens with this squirrel.

I thought, There s my second squirrel, that s one, two, three, just what I asked for. I laid my gun down and shot, and I hit the log. Now, out of about a hundred and forty nine squirrels this year, I ve only missed five shots. So then, I thought, How did I miss that squirrel? Never scared him, he jumped up, run back down at the other side of the log and stood and looked around. I put another shell in, I thought, I ll sure get him this time. I leveled down, right across the hair right across his eye, pulled the trigger; I hit about two foot under him. I said, M y, th i s g un s ou t.

It had to be just exactly how he had spoken it! Page # 17 & 18 Now it was getting late in the day, and it was getting dark outside. Brother Branham thought he would head back, but something said to him, Aren t you going to go up there and get that squirrel? He thought, how would he see it? And the Voice told him to, Turn and go back towards the north. Your squirrel is there. Remember, he had spoken he was to get THREE squirrels!

And it was real dark in the hollow. And I started down through the hollow, Something said to me, What about that other squirrel? And I said, Well, I I I ve already got two, and so it s too late now; I can t even see through my scope hardly (See?), too late to get one now. And I started on down; Something said, Turn and go back and get the other squirrel. You ve already said it. So I turned, and I hadn t walked about ten steps (Now, listen close.) and I seen a squirrel run up a tree about sixty or seventy yards from me. So dark it had to be just the light across the top of the mountain or I wouldn t have seen him. And I I leveled the gun down. I couldn t see the squirrel, kept looking back and forth. I thought, Where s he at? 47 After while looked like a knot on the tree stuck around, I thought, That s his head. So I shot. The squirrel run down the tree and I heard something hit the leaves; I thought, He must have jumped off. And about that time, about fifteen yards from it, another squirrel run up a tree. I said, That was that squirrel, I missed him, he run around, run up that tree. So I watched real close. It was so dark and the wind blowing so hard. I thought I seen some leaves with something moving; I thought, Well, I m I m going to shoot at it anyhow. And I shot, I heard that squirrel hit the ground, plunk. It really killed him right out. Well, I said, I missed him on that tree, but got him over here, just a little bit out of line. I said, I ll go over and get him. So I walked on up the hill, and when I got to this first tree, there laid my squirrel, the first one, right in line, exactly way I pointed. God in heaven knows that s true. Right the way I pointed Well, I went over, I said, Well, that makes me four, He give me one for good measure. That s good. I said, I said three and I got four; that s good. Okay, so what happened? It was getting SO dark! Brother Branham saw two squirrels and shot twice. For a few minutes he thought maybe he had shot twice at the same squirrel, but when he went to get the FIRST ONE he realized that he had actually shot two squirrels! It was right IN LINE of the way he had pointed. He realized the Lord had given him ONE MORE squirrel for good measure. So he found the third squirrel he spoke into existence, it was right in line. BUT he couldn t find that fourth squirrel that the Lord had given him. He looked ALL over, under leaves and in a log, but could not find that squirrel. He knew he had shot it! page #17 & #18 place Kentucky squirrel #6 & #7. Brother Branham headed back to meet with the other brothers. He told them about what the Lord had done and about not being able to find that fourth squirrel. There was one brother there by the name of Tony Zabel. He prayed a prayer before they all went to bed that night. It did not set right with Brother Branham. 9

6 Brother Tony was doubting what Brother Branham had told them about the squirrels. Brother Tony prayed for Brother Branham to find that fourth squirrel in the log the next day. So they would know what Brother Branham had told them was the truth, even though Brother Branham never said that the squirrel was in the log. Do we doubt our prophet? No, we believe every word he says, because the Word of the Lord comes to the prophet! Even if we do not understand, we Only Believe. Page # 19 & 20 So the next day Brother Branham was worried that he wouldn t find the fourth squirrel. He knew that if he didn t find it, Brother Tony would think he had told a lie.

He prayed and said, that, If we find the squirrel, you ll know that our brother has told us the truth. 152 And that great Anointing come, said, Just say the squirrel will be up there, and you ll get him. 153 I thought, Surely, Lord, surely this will be seven times, straight, while this Anointing is on me. I said, Is that You? He said, Say what you will. I said, I shall find that squirrel. The Anointing left me My New Ministry It happened again! Brother Branham spoke that he would find the squirrel! This would be seven times that he had spoken something into existence. Brother Branham knew he would find it, it had been spoken! But when he went up there he couldn t find it anywhere.

How many of you have heard Brother Branham tell the story of Sister Hattie? Sister Hattie was just a poor old widow woman. Her husband had died, and she was raising her two sons all by herself. They were poor and she had to work very hard to make her living. Well,one week after the squirrels, on November 14, 1959 in Depauw, Indiana Brother Branham and Brother Banks Wood were down at their friend Brother George Wright s house. It was just an old home with clapboard shingles. On that afternoon they were having a good time! They loved Brother Branham! It s good to love God s prophets! They really made him feel welcome. Sister Hattie and Sister Wright had a bunch of good food prepared like beans, cornbread, and sliced onions. They knew he liked that. Sister Wright even baked Brother Branham a big cherry cobbler!

Po or As they were there in that little humble home, Brother Branham was testifying of what the Lord had done for him while he was squirrel hunting. He was telling them that there was no way for those squirrels to be there. Remember, it was cold and windy and no leaves on the trees when Brother Branham went hunting, but he knew that the Lord was able to provide squirrels just as the Lord provided Abraham a ram when he was on the mountain going to sacrifice his son. While he was talking like that, Sister Hattie was in the back sitting quietly, as she listened to Brother Branham testify. Let s hear what happens. Play Quote 15 Quote 15 (3 mins 15sec): I said, then the same Jehovah-jireh I was in need of a squirrel the same as he was in need of a ram, and I believe Jehovah-jireh placed it there by His same spoken Word. It wasn t me anyhow, cause I didn t know what I was saying. He said it Himself. 60 And little old quiet Sister Hattie, setting back there, little dust bonnet on like the country women wear there. And she d put on a little clean dress to come over to help her mother cook me a dinner. And she was setting with her hand like this, and she said, That s nothing but the Truth. She said the right thing. Here s my Bible, and as a servant of God, I say this. I could hardly hear the last she said. Her mother was trying to say something, but I didn t get it. I Just as she said that, she said the right thing. The Spirit of the Lord said to me, Tell her to ask what she will, and you give it to her. I I couldn t speak. That room, everybody, felt strange. I said, Sister Hattie. She said, Yes, Brother Branham. I said, THUS SAITH THE LORD, speak anything that you desire; I don t care what it is. If you want to know that God s give this ministry, speak anything that you desire. THUS SAITH THE LORD, if you ll speak it, I ll speak it behind you and you ll have it right here. Eight people standing there looking She said, Brother Branham, what shall I say? I said, It s up to you There set her crippled sister, her aged father. She was poor; she could ask for for money. She could ve asked for anything she wanted to. I said, Ask anything that s in your heart, anything that you want to; you ask it, and THUS SAITH THE LORD, I ll speak it behind you and you ll have it. She said, The salvation of my two boys. Turn to page #23 & 24 Scene 13 flannel Graph: Sister Hattie Supper Scene, Sister Hattie with the 2 boys in her lap, Brother Banks face in plate I said, You have it, in the Name of the Lord. And those two little modern teen-age snicklefritz boys, that had hated the very cause of Christ grabbed one another and begin to scream the blessings of God. The power of God struck that place. Banks fell into his plate. I don t know what happened for about ten minutes. Friend, do you realize what that was? I have never in all my life had felt such anointing. The first time it was ever performed on a human being, it bypassed aristocrats, it bypassed everything else, and went to a poor little old widow woman living up on the hill there. And God knowed what she d ask. Her two boys was gloriously saved the very minute it was spoken. If she d have asked for ten thousand dollars, it d have been given to her. If she d have asked for her sister s healing, it d been given to her. Anything she would ve asked, it would ve been given to her. Wow! What happened? What did Sister Hattie say? Yes, That s nothing but the Truth. She had said the right thing. Because of what she said, the Lord told Brother Branham to tell her to ask for anything that was on her heart and it would be given to her. She just had to speak it! She was poor and could have asked for ten thousand dollars, or she could have asked for the healing of her sister, Edith, who was crippled and very sickly. But what did she ask for? Right, the salvation of her two sons! The Lord knew she d ask for the right thing. Their souls were more valuable than any amount of money. When she spoke it and Brother Branham spoke it behind her, the power of God struck the place where they were sitting and her two boys fell across her lap crying! Brother Wood even fell into his plate. Brother Branham didn t even know what happened for about ten minutes because the power of God was so strong. It was the first time it ever happened on a human being! Page #23 fill in blank ( That s nothing but the Truth ) In this last day, Jesus lives in us! We are His temple where He dwells. And it is truly God in human flesh. We are the manifested sons and daughters of God! That perfect ripened fruit at the top of the Bride Tree. So when we speak something and don t doubt in our hearts,it HAS to come to pass! All we have to do is Speak The Word! Remember, it doesn t always happen right away, but it WILL happen if we ONLY BELIEVE! Do we believe our prophets? Yes! Just like Sister Hattie, we say, It s nothing but the Truth! 13
