Love

July 26, 1956

Brother Branham asks the question at the beginning of this message of Love, "How many here that's really not feeling real good in your soul?" Many raised their hands before the prophet went to prayer and read from the very familiar chapter of John 3:16.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

After laying a foundation for the greatest force there is in the world, and capturing the hearts of the people with stories of the agapao love of God, many more hands were raised at the end of service with a far different feeling in their hearts.

There was a sweet, humble atmosphere the Thursday evening this tent meeting was held, an atmosphere Brother Branham said he wished he could live in forever. Angels were walking up and down the aisles, all around the tent posts, around on the inside and outside of the tent, moving with their great wings spread. That's what made Brother Branham and the people feel the way they did, and it'll make you feel the same way as you listen and are baptized in the same love they were.

Learn of the perfect love of God that casts out and conquers all fear. Fear of backsliding, fear of animals, fear of the devil, it's all cast away with the perfect love that God can put in your heart and hold you there. As Brother Branham said, "It's Him holding me, not me holding Him."

I'd say, "God give me love." That's right. "For where there is tongues, they shall cease. Where there's prophecy it will fail. Where there's knowledge, it'll vanish. But where there is love, it will endure forever. That's what drove the heart of God to send Christ to the earth.
