MAIN POINTS

The Bride hasn’t had a revival yet.

The Bride hasn’t had a revival yet.

Why did the prophet WMB say this?

When is the Bride’s revival coming?

It will take those seven unknown thunders…

The seven thunders will wake up the Bride to her final and greatest revival.

QUOTE

182  Now, that's what's the reason today that the revivals that we're supposed to have… We have denominational revivals; we haven't had a real stirring.

No, no, no, no.

No, sir.

Don't think we got revivals.

We haven't.

Oh, they've got millions and millions and millions of church members, but not a revival nowhere.

No, no.

The Bride hasn't had a revival yet.

See? There's been no revival there, no manifestation of God to stir the Bride yet.

See?

We're looking for it.

It will take those seven unknown thunders back there to wake her up again.

He will send it.

He promised it.

Now, now, watch.

Now, she was—she was dead.

Some things are hindering revival from bursting forth...

We allow earthly things to hinder our personal and church revival.

The church is bound in the world!

We don't have the meetings we used to have.

The people are talking today.

Billy Graham, and Brother Oral Roberts, myself, all of us, we're trying to talk of a revival in our days.

How can we have a revival as long as the church is bound with the world?

How can you do it when Samson is bound?

The secret's been known and God shaved off his power.

There's no more… It's got to a place to people… These incubator preachers has got us to a place until we so stiff-necked, till honest people make fun of some good old saint that'll pray through to victory; hear somebody shout; or speak with tongues; or—or demonstrate some power of the Holy Ghost, and then, people that call themselves Christians will make fun of those people.

What's the matter?

It's… All the thing has done is shaved off the power.

/ 59-0702 - Where Has Thy Strength Gone, Samson?, Rev. William Marrion Branham

The church is so bound and starchy!

72  What are we going to do?

What's going to happen?

There's one glorious thing that I can think of to end this text.

While Samson was bound… We can't have a revival.

Listen at our loyal brother, Billy Graham, "Revival in our day."

Listen at Oral Roberts scream, "Revival in our day."

Listen at the rest of them, "Revival in our day."

How can we have a revival when we're bound?

We've bound the Holy Spirit with our organizations and traditions, and we can't have a Holy Ghost revival.

Amen.

I know that's scorching hot with the weather, but it's the truth.

How can we have a Holy Ghost revival when you're so bound and starchy?

"Form of godliness," the Bible said they'd have.

"Form of godliness, but would deny the power thereof."

The power of what?

The power of the organization?

The power of the world?

The power of the church?

The power of the Holy Ghost.

That's the secret place in the church.

And when the church adopts educated preachers, and big buildings, and finery, in the stead of the old fashion Holy Ghost, they'd better be in the mission again.

Amen.

True.

How you going to have a revival of the Holy Ghost, and people quench It and bound It and afraid of It? There's where the trouble lies.

William Marrion Branham

There’s no room for Jesus!

Sometimes we have a revival, and the ladies aid's got to put on theirs, and this has got to do this, and this has got to do that.

The first thing you know, there's no room for Jesus.

We so carried up with all our societies and things, till we forget what the revival's about.

Let's don't do that in Chicago this week.

Let's invite Him and then worship Him when He comes.

/ 55-1002 - The Unwelcomed Christ, Rev. William Marrion Branham

We follow the wrong leadership!

Now, we wonder today, why we can't have a revival.

Why can't we have a revival?

What's the matter we can't have?

Is because we follow the wrong leadership.

We can have some manufactured conversions and protractive meetings, but when it comes to a real revival, what's the matter?

We're letting too much world creep into our churches.

Brethren, you ministers, you believe that?

/ 60-0805 - Lamb And Dove, Rev. William Marrion Branham

What worldly things are hindering the work of God in your life today?

God always meets us at the point of our need.

God loves to answer our prayers.

God loves to answer prayers of faith.

John 14.13-14

John 15.16

John 16.24

Unfortunately, most prayers of faith are centered on earthly and temporal needs.

1 John 5.14

Earthly needs will provide earthly joy.

Temporary needs will provide temporary joy.

UNTIL WE CAN REALIZE THE NEEDS THAT ARE GREATER THAN THESE EARTHLY THINGS, WE CAN NEVER EXPERIENCE THE REAL REVIVAL.

God will only meet us at the point of our need that we present before Him.

Faith must be used properly.

Jesus taught us to believe in God for a very special reason.

How do you usually practice your faith?
