=Where did William Branham say he got his sermons?= | |||
William Branham consistently said that his sermons were supernaturally inspired: | |||
:''Do you take the day to think up these things you’re going to say at night? It’d sure take quite a day, wouldn’t it? No, Christian, my brother, '''I never take one thought of what I’m going to say in the pulpit.''' I’ll read a Scripture somewhere. And I—I’ve made announcements many times that I would go to the pulpit, I was going to preach on a certain subject, get there, the Holy Ghost turn me right back around, make me do something else. I’ve tried it two or three times to write out notes and preach on notes. Long as I’m looking at them notes, I got my mind off of God. So I just have to go ahead and crumble them up and throw them down and just whatever He says. Sometimes I start in Genesis and wind up in Revelation, I…So I’m not very much of a—of a minister just to—to…'''I have to get my messages from Above.''' <ref>William Abraham, 54-0515 - Questions And Answers, Question 24b</ref> | |||
:''Now, way '''I always find my Messages is by prayer'''. I’ll be sitting in prayer and '''something reveals to me'''. And I wait on it a few minutes and see if it’s right, then I feel it closer. And '''then sometimes I keep waiting till it breaks into a vision'''. But when it begins to come, and '''I’m satisfied it comes from God, then I go to the Scripture'''. See, That is, ought to be the confirmation of every spiritual thing that’s done, because the Bible is the complete revelation of Jesus Christ; see, It is His Body. | |||
:''And now, in that, maybe I find a place in the Scripture that doesn’t sound just right, and I’ll wonder. I go back again to prayer. It comes again. Then I—then I begin to—to examine my Scripture. | |||
:''...Then, you see, from that inspiration…This pulpit this morning, I say, not one time has it ever been nothing but straight, the Scripture. That’s how Serpent’s Seed and all these other things come. <ref>William Branham, 64-0802 - The Future Home Of The Heavenly Bridegroom And The Earthly Bride, para. 54-57</ref> | |||
