“And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word of God.” [Luke 4:4]

“For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” [Hebrews 4:12]

“Every Word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.” [Proverbs 30:5]

“What you want to do then? Take the Word. What is the Word? The Bible said here. We just read it. For the Spirit, and of God, is the Word. See? Look here. "And take the helmet of salvation, and the Sword, the Sword of the Spirit." The Sword of the Spirit! What? The Spirit that comes in through your mind and enters into you, and the Sword of that Spirit is the Word of God. 420    What does that Spirit fight with? What does the Holy Spirit fight with, sensations, feelings? [Congregation says, "The Word."--Ed.] The Word; heart! Whew! Glory! What does It fight with, feeling? Word! Word! Let's say it, Word! ["Word!"] Word! ["Word!"] Word of God is what the Spirit fights with. The Spirit of God walks right up to the Devil, and said, "It is written!" Amen! "It is written!" And the Devil gives away.” [62-0311, The Greatest Battle Ever Fought, Jeffersonville IN, USA]

“Now, and listen; just a moment. The Word of God will defeat the devil any place, anywhere, any time on any condition. When Jesus was here on earth, the Father was in Him. God was in Christ reconcile the world to Himself. We believe that. All the fine qualities was in--was of the Father was in Him. But when He met Satan, look how He did. He brought it in your reach, and yours, yours, and all of you. See? He never used His great gift. When Satan comes in and said, "If thou be the Son of God, turn these stones to bread," He said, "It is written: man shall not live by bread alone." He taken Him up on the pinnacle of the temple. Jesus said, "It is written." He took Him up on a high mountain, showed Him the kingdoms of the world, said, "I'll give them all to you, if you'll fall down and worship me." Jesus said, "It is written." See? Always, "It's written," the Word. The Word of God is a Seed. Accept It in your heart: believe It; water It; testify of It; take It as your own personal need and God will bring it to pass.” [51-0923, The Principles Of Divine Healing, Jeffersonville IN, USA]

“Now, remember this, that I make this quotation, that "The Word of God will defeat Satan anywhere, any time, any place, on any condition." The Word of God alone, "It is written," will defeat Satan, no matter who he is, what form he comes in, where he's at, it'll defeat Satan. Now that is truth: the written Word of God. Now, and you're... And now, here's another statement I want you to remember. And you that--you especially here that's so sick setting here, these cancer cases and so forth tonight, look, that "The right mental attitude towards any divine promise of God will bring it to pass." Can you understand what I mean? "The right mental attitude towards any divine promise of God will bring it to pass." If you'll take the right mental attitude towards anything God has promised, God's under obligation to see that you get it. That's right, because He promised it.” [52-1027, Jesus Christ The.Same Yesterday Today And Forever, Edmonton AB, Canada]

“As It is written, see, "Written, you are written epistles," the Bible said. Now, what is epistle? Is a "written word." And you are the "written." Other words, you'd read It like this, "You," It said, "you are written epistles," or, "you are the Word, that has been written, made manifest," nothing can be added to It. You can't say, "I'm a written epistle," and living some other kind of a something but what This has already wrote, [Brother Branham pats his Bible--Ed.] because nothing can be added or taken away.” [64-0614M, The Unveiling Of God, Jeffersonville IN, USA]

“We want to be borned of His Spirit, and recognize, and watch for Him. He's so close to you. He's not only close to you, you borned again people, He's already in you trying to will His... And the devil standing there saying, "Don't believe it; don't believe it; don't believe it, this, that. It--it ain't for you; it's up for another day." Oh, say, "Get thee behind me, Satan. It is written, 'The works that I do shall you also.'" That's what Jesus defeated Satan; He never used His power. He was God manifested in flesh, but He didn't use His power. All the gifts that there was in heaven, He had them in Him, but He didn't use that. He just took the Father's Word. He said, "It's written, thou shall worship the Lord thy God. It is written. It is written. It is written. It is written." And He defeated Satan. And the Word of God will defeat Satan anywhere on any grounds under any conditions: God's holy Word.” [60-0731, Show Us The Father And It Will Satisfy Us, Yakima WA, USA]

“Now, we find Him as soon as God came upon Him, He was anointed, went into the wilderness, and out after forty days, and defeated Satan by the Word of God. What did He do? He brought any Divine promise in reach of--of the weakest of Christians. If He was God, why did He let Satan say, "If Thou be the Son of God, perform a miracle here and show me you can do it? Turn these stones into bread and eat." He said, "It is written: man shall not live by bread alone." So then as Satan always tries to coat the Word, went back and told Him when he put Him at the pinnacle of the temple... And he...?... Again, "It is written." And He defeated Satan on the Word of God. That shows that you can defeat Satan on the Word of God. No matter, the Word of God will defeat Satan any place, anywhere, under any conditions. If it's in the belly of a whale, or if it's in a lions' den, if it's on the bed with a cancer, or if it's laying yonder bleeding to death in a automobile accident, the Word of God will defeat Satan anywhere. And the weakest Christian can use It. It's your God given privilege to do it.” [58-0223, JESUS Christ The Same Yesterday Today And Forever, Chattanooga TN, USA]

“Jesus had all the fine qualities of God in Him. Do you believe it? He had powers upon powers. But when He met Satan, He never used His power. He give an example for the weakest of Christians. When He met Satan, He said, "It is written. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." The weakest Christian can take that stand. Hold it. Sure, God's in His Word. Every time when He would meet the enemy, He said, "It is written." I believe He had power to do it. But He met Satan on the same grounds with the same Word that you can meet him with, every one, "It's written." You believe it? Why, it's written. "Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe you receive them." Watch the order of the Word. Believe now (present tense) you receive it, and you shall have it. It'll be given to you later, but believe it now. Before you can get your crop, you got to plant the seed. Water it. Believe it. Don't dig it up every morning to see if it's... Every time you dig it up, you'll delay it that much more. It'll never grow if you keep digging it up.” [50-0819, Show Us The Father And It Suffices, Cleveland OH, USA]

“If we could only realize that He is here with us, the same yesterday, today, and forever. "Lo, I am with you always. I'll never leave you, never forsake you. I'm with you to the end of the world," 24th chapter. "I'll never leave you," again He said. Oh! Again, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." I was just looking at the Scriptures I had wrote down here concerning it.  How can we be sure? By His proven Word. He is now waiting for you to call Him on the scene, to be proved, so let us go and awake Christ in our lives. How do you awake Christ? By believing His Word. Faith brings Him on the scene. That's what brings Him on the scene, faith. Then, call on Him to confirm His Word. And don't doubt, in fear; don't do that. Just believe Him as It is written, and let it be done, and God will prove to you that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. We worship an invisible God.” [63-0804E, Calling Jesus On The Scene, Chicago IL, USA]

“Not what someone said; but what You said! For It is written, "Let every man's word be a lie, and Mine true." If there's anything in us that would keep us from believing the true Word, and knowing the revelation of Christ, as He said to Peter, "Upon this rock, I build My Church." If there's anything contrary to that, take it away from us, Lord. We lay it aside, ourselves. We cast it out. And accept in its place, that Chief Cornerstone, that Holy Spirit that's the foundation of the real Church of God. We accept that.” [62-1111M,  Dedication, Elizabethtown KY, USA]
