“If I speak the truth that God provided a Sacrifice, and that sacrifice, Jehovah-jireh, was Jesus Christ... And all of the seven compound, redemptive Names laid in Jesus Christ. Jehovah-jireh, "the Lord's provided Sacrifice." Jehovah-rapha, "the Lord that heals thy diseases." And Jehovah... "the banner." And--and all the other, seven compound Names, was all in Christ Jesus. And there's where all the types and the shadows of the Old Testament, all come and met in Jesus Christ. He paid the supreme price, ascended on high, and sent back the Holy Ghost tonight, which is God's provided Way of your escape.” [God Has A Provided Way, Louisville, KY 54-0404E]
“Our heavenly Father, in the Presence of Jesus Christ, the great Mighty One, may the Holy Spirit come forth. Oh, Satan, you're defeated. Jesus Christ rebuke thee. Come out of these people thou, enemy of the human race. May the God of Heaven, make everyone healed in Jesus' Name. Praise Him. Keep your hands in the... If you believe you're healed stand on your feet. I don't care how crippled you are. Stand up. Believe Him. Take Him at His Word. Stand up, everywhere. Believe that Jesus Christ has made you well. Everyone accept your healing, stand up. Now, raise your hands to Him. Say, "Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Praise the Lord God. The great Jehovah God for His goodness."

“Our Heavenly Father, we are assembled here now in the midst of this people, in the Presence of Almighty God, O great Eternal Jehovah, Who brought forth Jesus Christ, Your Son. I pray now, as these ministers, the hands of God. And as I lay my hands upon our sister here, I pray that You will meet them, Lord, every one. May the power of Jesus Christ come down upon this audience just now, as these pastors are touching these people. And may every one of them be healed, in the Name of Jesus Christ.” [Be Not Afraid, Tucson, AZ 63-0607]
“Christ was the fullness of God. He was the anointed Jehovah. He was Jehovah-anointed body, Jesus of Nazareth. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. And He died that He might sanctify these fallen human race, and bring them back to sons of God again, to be anointed ones, anointed with the Holy Spirit to go forth to reflect His Kingdom until He returned all the way through the seven church ages.” [The Messiah, Shreveport, LA 61-0117]
“He was God or the biggest deceiver the world's ever had. That's right. God was manifested in flesh to take away sin. The Bible said that God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. He was deity Himself, wrapped up in His own tabernacle that He created, which was His Son, the flesh, Christ Jesus, Jehovah God revealed Himself through His Son, Christ Jesus. Oh, my. What a story and what a truth that is!” [God Perfecting His Church, Binghamton, NY 54-1204]
“How many believes that the Pillar of Fire, the Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel was the Angel of the Covenant? Let's see your hand. That was our Lord Jesus. Is that right? It was Christ, the Anointed. Well, look. He appeared to Moses, but it wasn't because He was with Moses. He's with the whole church. Is that right? Could it be possible that this same Pillar of Fire that we see taken here now, could that be the Angel of the Covenant? Could it be our Lord Jesus Christ? Could the Angel of the Lord Who appeared to Paul out there, Who told Peter on the housetop, all these things, like He did in the days of Agabus, and so forth? Isn't that the very analysis, the very symptoms, the very same thing that He did in the days, in the New Testament? Then look, Christians, Holy Ghost filled people look this way. Then the sign of the Old Testament, Jehovah God, the Pillar of Fire, is with us. And the same God that was with the apostles, our Lord Jesus Christ, is with us undisputably through science, through the world, through the Christians, through the church, through everything is perfectly a vindicated. It's the same today.
The both New and Old Testaments... God of the Old Testament was Jesus of the New, and the Holy Spirit of today. You know that. Don't you believe that? To blaspheme the Holy Ghost today, is just the same penalty, or worst, than blaspheming Jesus Christ, or God the Father.” [Early Spiritual Experiences, Hammond, IN 52-0713A]
“Remember, Abel died on the altar with his lamb. And every man that comes to Christ must die on the same altar Jesus Christ did, on the altar of self sacrifice, forgetting your own ways, forgetting your own reasons, and taking God's Word, and saying, "It's Your Word, Lord; I believe it," and there die, as Abel did on the rock with his same lamb that he died with, that died for him, rather. We die out to Christ on the altars of God's sacrifice. Oh, my. That makes me feel kind of religious, to think, God providing a way. In that I could not save myself, God making a way through Christ, not by works lest any man should boast, but by faith accepting it, and Jehovah God sending down the Holy Spirit, stamping a seal on it of a confirmation. Sealed how long? "Until the day of your redemption," Ephesians 4:30.” [I Will Restore, Des Moines, IA 54-0620A]
“Saint Paul, in the backgrounds, in the former chapters, he has specifically been dealing with the supreme Deity of the Lord Jesus and who He was. Christ was God, made so that men could feel Him and touch Him, and--and fellowship with Him. Christ, the Lord Jesus, was the body that God dwelt in, " God was made flesh and dwelt among us." First Timothy 3:16, "Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness, for God was manifested in flesh." The Great Jehovah came down and was made tangible, by living in the body of His Own Son, declaring and reconciling the world to Himself. God was nothing... Christ was nothing short of God, and--and God was nothing short of Christ. The two together made the godhead bodily, made a little lower than Angels, so that He could suffer. Angels cannot suffer. Jesus was the tabernacle that God dwelt in.” [Hebrews, Chapter Six, 57-0915M Jeffersonville IN]
“That is God's way and the only way. It ain't the Methodist way, ain't the Baptist way, ain't the Presbyterian, ain't the Pentecost. It's Christ's way. Christ is God's provided Way. He's God's provided Sacrifice. He's Jehovah-Rapha. He's Jehovah-Jireh. He's Jehovah-Manasses. When Abraham offered up Isaac, he called the place there Jehovah-Jireh, "the Lord will provide Himself a sacrifice." And there it is, the Son of God. Amen. God always makes a way of escape.” [God's Way That's Been Made For Us, Jeffersonville, IN 52-0900]
“When Solomon built the temple and it was dedicated, God came into that temple and dwelt there. Is that right? And when Jesus Christ was dedicated to God on the river of Jordon, God came down and dwelt in Jesus Christ. He's Jehovah. Amen. Confession of sin always had to look to the temple. Confession of sin has to look to Christ, there's the Temple of God; God dwelled in Christ, there He is.” [Questions And Answers Law Having A Shadow, Jeffersonville, IN 54-0516]
“Jesus Christ, God's provided Sacrifice, the same yesterday, today, and forever, He's an everlasting, perpetual Sacrifice. Thank God the more, He's done tasted death once for all. And for all the human race, He's God's Lamb, a provided Sacrifice, Jehovah did. Spared not His own Son, but took His life, and raised Him up, and sent back the Spirit was in Christ: "Let the mind that was in Christ be in you." And don't call His gifts mental telepathy and fortunetelling. See? Let the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit that was in Christ be in you. God has provided a sacrifice.” [The Faith Of Abraham, San Jose, CA 59-0424A]
“God has got many titles: Jehovah, Jehovah-jireh, -rapha. Manasseh. Oh, many! He's got seven compound, redemptive names. He's got many titles: Rose of Sharon, Lily of the Valley, Morning Star; Father, Son, Holy Ghost. All that. But He's got one human Name. God only had one Name, and that was "the Lord Jesus Christ." When He was born, Christ, the Lord. Eight days later, the Holy Spirit called His Name " Jesus." His mother had Him circumcised, and called Him " Jesus." He was born the Christ. (Like I was born a Branham, I was a Branham when I was born and given the name of "William.") Amen. And He was born Christ, the Saviour. And when He was eight days old, He was given the name of " Jesus." And He was the Lord of Glory, made manifest. So, He is the Lord Jesus Christ, the God of Glory made manifest among us. Oh, there He is!” [The Revelation Of Jesus Christ, Jeffersonville, IN 60-1204M]
