It’s the little things in life that God does for His children that mean so much to us. We would like to share with you these testimonies that were sent to us by brothers and sisters from around the world. Though they may seem simple and insignificant to some, to us they are little nuggets that we cherish and draw strength from. We pray they are a blessing to you.

Testimony one

A brother from Norway: I have a short testimony. In 1999 the doctors found me to be schizophrenic, an ailment according to science unrecoverable. Daddy gave me the biography of Brother Branham, and I was boosted with faith. I requested a prayer cloth from his sons in Jeffersonville Indiana, USA, and after receiving it, I put it over my heart. My heart started to burn, and I am healed now!

Testimony two

I just wanted to share a testimony of GOD working in my life quite recently. About two months ago I was driving home from my cousin's house. When I left and got into my car, it was awfully quiet. Something in me wanted to turn on a CD of Brother Branham's sermons, because the Voice of God always comforts me in dark times.

I turned on a recording and shortly after, my boyfriend called me. We started talking about the LORD and how near to the end time we believe that we are. I left the CD of Brother Branham playing as we talked.

I remember saying, "I just don't feel like there's much time left." No sooner had the last word poured out of my mouth, when a great, brown horse came running from my right side into the middle of the road. I had no time to react. It was just about six feet in front of my car, and my cruise control was set, and we collided.

I threw my phone across the car, pulled my car to a stop, got out, and waved down the next vehicle that came by to call the cops. The cops, ambulance, and all of the people who stopped to help were amazed at the scene. My windshield was shattered and battered with blood. I myself was covered in blood from head-to-toe. My clothes were saturated and my hair was hardened with it. The medics were so afraid that the blood was mine, and I couldn't feel anything because I was so in shock. But as they cleaned me up, they were amazed to find that the only source of blood that was my own was a small, deep cut on my left hand caused by the shattered windshield.

After that night, the post traumatic stress or shock that I was experiencing had me very depressed. I found that I couldn't sleep without listening to a tape; otherwise I would get nervous and couldn't sleep. The Voice of God gave me peace to sleep, but I kept wondering why GOD would let something like that happen to me while I was talking about Him and listening to a tape. Satan tried to throw every doubt he could at me. Then one night it occurred to me; maybe the only thing that kept me from being seriously injured or even from dying was the Voice of God coming through those speakers at that dark hour. It was then that I realized God hadn't deserted me!

By His grace, He had put it in my heart to turn on that CD! Normally I wouldn't have anything playing while talking on the phone, but by the voice of Brother Branham, I believe that Jesus was called on the scene. A few weekends later at church on Sunday morning, the pastor turned on the tape, "Calling Jesus on the Scene," and I heard the prophet speak these words:

Talk about amazing grace, how sweet the sound? What a secure it is! How secure we feel, to know that when we're driving on the highways, whatever we are doing, that Jesus lays in the ship. Amen. The One Who can perform any miracle, can do anything that He wants done, doing it again, perfectly identify Himself. He is in our little boat as we're sailing life's solemn main. Same as He was then, so is He now. What a feeling of security, while sailing the troubled waters of life. When this Mel Johnson, the able singer, the little Swede singing, "When I've crossed over the river of Jordan." Just think, when you come down there to the river, He'll be there. "I'll not leave you nor forsake you." What a promise, sailing these troubled waters." Calling Jesus on the Scene 63-0804E

When I heard Brother Branham say these things, I felt as though he was talking to me directly. Thank the LORD Jesus for sending His Holy Spirit that we may always have Him close and near, for He is a very present help in time of trouble.

Testimony three

Our family has continued to watch all the developments on the Voice of God Recordings website, and we just wanted to let you know that the addition of the Young Foundations website has been a blessing to us all.

Our daughter, who is now seven, has spent a lot of time with all of the different functions and activities on this website, and we feel it has truly begun to enlighten her and give her a true sense of association with the Message of today.

We would like to share with Voice of God Recordings a testimony about our daughter, the same little girl that is now enjoying the new Young Foundations website.

For approximately 3 years we had grown accustomed to taking our little girl, during the age of two and a half to five and a half years old at the time, to the doctor nearly once a month. It was for a problem she had been having that they regarded as "Kidney Reflux," which caused her to have recurring bladder infections. She had a total of almost 30 infections in 3 years, and doctors recommended testing for further complications at our local children’s hospital.

Several days before we were scheduled to go for the test, we felt it on our heart to send in a prayer request to Brother Joseph that all would go well, and ask him to pray that everything went smoothly. As a result of God’s Grace and the prayers that went out, she never had another infection after that date, and all the tests that were done came up negative.

It has now been over two years without the slightest hint of any complications, and she is now the one in our family who has been to the doctor the least amount of times in the last two years. Praise be to God! May God bless all the workers at Voice of God Recordings, Brother Joseph and Brother Billy Paul, and may you all continue to do just as the Lord is directing you in every day. It has made all the difference in our lives knowing that there are so many of you spending your life’s work to make our lives so much easier in this late hour.
