Works Is Faith Expressed

November 26, 1965

Brother Branham goes into this final Revival Month message like a Sunday School lesson, breaking open Scripture after Scripture to help us understand how works show that faith has already taken a-hold.

Starting with Abraham and the Old Testament saints, and ending with his own personal testimonies, he proves God’s Word from Genesis to Revelations, that Jesus Christ is still the same yesterday, and today, and forever.

ABRAHAM
"Notice, the holy faith of God was united with the holy works of his prophet. Remember, God's holy faith was revealed to Abraham. He received it, and by there he started with his holy works, by believing. The seed of promise had a place to grow."

NOAH
"Noah's works expressed to man, what his faith was in God's promise." "They said, "That man is actually crazy, because he says, 'It's going to bring water out of the heavens,' and there's no water up there." But, you see, Noah didn't think about that. His works was expressing to the people what his faith was and what God said would take place."

MOSES
"Moses took this stick and went down there and took that nation out of a nation. When he come with a stick in his hand, and told Pharaoh, "Let them go!" Pharaoh seen in Moses the works, that he had faith in what he was going to do, or trying to do. He had faith in the promise of the God that had made the promise, he went down to take it over."

JOHN THE BAPTIST
John the Baptist expressed his faith by his works when he said "There stands One among you now…" "He expressed it, his faith, because he knowed, in his day, he was to see and baptize God's Messiah. So, you see, the people could see the expression upon him, in the way he was preaching and the way he was acting, was expressing that he had a true revelation from God."

BROTHER BRANHAM
Brother Branham said, "Joseph, son, welcome." Yes, sir! Why? Why? What is it? It wasn't written in the Bible that would happen, but the same God of the Bible that revealed it to Abraham, we didn't consider the deadness of her womb, the impossibility to be that way. You don't stagger at the promise of God through unbelief, but you give praise to God, know that it's got to happen! I don't care what doctor says, everything else will come in all kind of a way, but don't you believe it, it's a lie of the Devil. Yes, sir, true. Faith goes about, together with works, to create the promise."

As with Abraham, Noah, Moses, and John the Baptist, so we see in Brother Branham the holy faith of God united with the holy works of his prophet. He demonstrated and brought to us the unadulterated Word of God, so that It could be embedded into us and we could express our faith through the works of God in our own lives.

"And that's the same as it is to us, because our works express what faith we have. But if we're afraid to act on what we believe, then we do not believe It. See, you've got to believe It."
