“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” [Matthew 7:13-14]

“And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” [Isaiah 30:20-21]

“There's two ways a man can go: and that's his way or God’s way, and that's the right way or the wrong way. And your way is always the wrong way, and God’s way is the right way. And you can't be in your own way and in God’s way at the same time, so you got to get out of your own way so God can have His way in you. That's right. God makes a provided way. Man has always wanted to make his own way. In the garden of Eden, God made a man so he didn't have to shift for nothing. God made him perfect, but man wanted his own way. [52-0900 God's Way That's Been Made For Us, Jeffersonville IN]

“Just watch God's provided way. God always makes a provided way; in this we must follow it. Now, God's made a provided way for the human race to escape the oncoming judgments. In the days of Noah God made a provided way. But when God makes a way and man refuses to walk in it , then if they miss it, it's not God's fault; no more than it is the city's fault when you run a stop light. See? He's made a way. And God, before He was going to destroy the world, He built... had a ark built. Not only that, but He provided a prophet with His Word to make a way for the people to escape. And all that believed and walked in God's provided way, by God's provided messenger to point them to God's provided way, they escaped the wrath and judgment of death. God's got a Messenger tonight called the Holy Spirit. He is the Word. And the Word... He's a--He's the one that manifests the Word. But you must walk in that way. You must listen to the Messenger of God, which is His Word and walk in that way. It's a way prepared, to be--for the escape.” [62-0728 God Has A Provided Way, Victoria BC, Canada]

“Look at even King Hezekiah, when He sent that prophet up there to him, God did, and said, "Put your house in order. You're going to die." Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and wept bitterly, and said, "Lord God, I--I ask You to consider me. I've walked before You with a perfect heart. I want You to let me live fifteen years longer." "All right." God spoke to the prophet, said, "Go back and tell him I heard him." And what did he do? He brought disgrace upon the whole nation. He kindled the anger of God till He would have killed him. That's right. You know that. Backslid on God. It would have been far better on, off, nation, king, and all, if he'd have went on and took God's first thing to him. But it looked hard on the prophet, when the prophet had to go back and speak the Word of God to him, after he done told him. But God said, "Go ahead." But, you see, it brought a disgrace. 154 What did Balaam do? After knowing the will of God, and yet he was persistent, he was going to do it, anyhow. And what did it do? Notice. He never changed His mind. He knowed what was in his heart.” [65-0418E Does God Ever Change His Min .About His Word, Jeffersonville IN]

“But you see, the--the king had said this is all right, because his wife thought it was all right. And they'd caused a moral decay. And then, they thought because they were prosperous, no wars and so forth, that that was the sign that God was with them. Prosperity is not always the sign that God is with you. Many times that's deceiving. The rain falls on the just and the unjust. But it's by their fruits they are known. And so this nation was really corrupted, and God had sent judgment upon it. “[59-0412A Be Certain Of God Los Angeles CA]

“I said, "You pray wrong. We should never pray to change God's mind; we should pray to change our mind. God's mind don't need any changing. See? See, it's right." I said, "Not what you prayed for..." I know a young Catholic boy, one time, was had a prayer book, saying prayers, and for his mother to live. And she died, and he throwed the prayer book in the fire. Well, see, I don't go for the prayer book; but, anyhow, see, you take the wrong attitude. You're trying to tell God what to do. Prayer should be, "Lord, change me to fit Your Word." Not, "Change," not, "let me change Your mind. You change my mind." See? "You change my mind to Your will. And Your will is written here in the Book. And, Lord, don't--don't let me go till You got my--my mind set just like Your mind. And then when my mind is set like Your mind, then I'll believe every Word You wrote. And You said, in there, You'd make 'everything work together for good' to them that loves You. And I love You, Lord. It's all working together for the good."” [65-0822M Christ Is Revealed In His Own Word, Jeffersonville IN]

“Notice, it was his desire to curse them. The people that he classed as fanatics, he wanted to curse them. He wanted a position. He didn't want to fool with them, so he thought if he could do this little act for the king, then he would be promoted. God never changed His mind or His Word. But He will give you the desire of his heart, of your heart. He promised that. You know that? He promised to give you the desire of your heart. And let your desire be the Word of God. Let your desire be His will, never your own will. His will! If He... You ask Him for something, He don't give it to you, say, "Thank You, Lord. You know what's good."” [65-0418E Does God Ever Change His Mind About His Word, Jeffersonville IN]

“I've often said, "The greatest enemy I got is William Branham." He's the one that gets in God’s way. He's the one that gets lazy. He's the one that gets to a place sometimes where he thinks he can do something about it, and when he does, that shoves God right out of the picture. But when I can get rid of that guy, when I can get to a place that he's out of the way, then God can come over and do things that William Branham knows nothing about. That's when God can use you. That's when He can use any of you. He can use anybody when we get out of the way. But as long as we got ourselves in the way, then we cannot.” [61-1119 Perfect Strength By Perfect Weakness, Jeffersonville IN]

“God has a provided way if you're ready to walk in it . Are you ready? Are you ready to believe Him? If He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, He will do the same things today that He did yesterday, and will forever. Is that right?” [53-0513  God's Provided Way, Jonesboro AR]
