=Stories about Joseph Branham=
==Power to stop a tornado==
A tornado was headed for the Still Waters camp facility a few years ago.  Everyone in the camp were warned to leave by the local government but Joseph Branham  refused to leave.  He simply said a prayer and the tornado changed direction away from the camp.
The only thing predictable about a tornado is its unpredictability.  A violent tornado can arise suddenly and disappear just as quickly. 
We have asked Voice of God to confirm that this actually took place.  To date, we have received no response.
==Power to raise the dead==
A person in the message recently posted the following on Facebook:
:''GOD RAISED THE DEAD AT THE BRANHAM TABERNACLE SERVICE THIS MORNING. I WAS A WITNESS. There was a Doctor that I believe checked the person that died; his name is James Jackson.  There was no pulse.  Also a doctor's assistant, I believe, also found no pulse. But God brought him back after Brother Joseph Marrion Branham prayed and some Deacons and the congregation with Acting Pastor Brother Samuel Barber.  God raised him up. The hospital checked him and found nothing wrong but his core temperature had dropped to 95 degrees."
We have asked Voice of God Recordings to confirm that this took place and to provide us with the name of the doctor or any assistant that were present, so that we can confirm that this took place.  To date, Voice of God Recordings has not responded.
