Over the years I’ve probably read this story at least ten times. But the Word has a tendency to get larger as you grow in the Lord.
What I thought was amazing this time I read it was the immediate release from sin when the couple turned from it. It wasn’t so much confessing they was wrong as they was confessing the Word was right and wanting to be in line with it. The man is ready to resign from his position as deacon. See, his is ready to do pentance or something, as if he needs to pay for his sin. But he doesn’t realize that he was able to confess the truth and to desire to be in line with it because Jesus had already paid the price of sin. The prophet told the man to just get right with God and continue right on in his position.
You and I are not prophets that we can tell if someone has really turned from their sin to God. But think about the power of turning away from sin! The power from the simple act of really acknowledging the Word of God! Immediately the devil that had tormented her had to leave. It had no right to stay. Just a few minutes before that same devil could stay no matter how many prayers were prayed and no matter who prayed the prayer. Now it had to leave.
Now think of how the prophet said that one Word off is a denomination. Is there anything in the Word today that you don’t want to acknowledge as truth?
If there is then you stopped right there. You are not going any further with God.
Is there anything in the message that you used another part of the message to explain away? Like the woman said she confessed the sin already?
If there is then you stopped right there. You are not going any further with God.
Peace/Power comes from turning away from the lie to the truth no matter how much the flesh doesn’t like it.

E-46 She’d all different people come, anoint her in oil and pray for her, stomp devils, and kick devils, and everything else, but he stayed right there. I said, “And he will stay right there as long as you got that unconfessed sin.”
She said, “Brother Branham, I confessed that to God.”
I said, “It wasn’t God you sinned against; it was your husband. You got to make that right.”
She said, “Oh, it’d break up my home.”
I said, “That’s all I can say, lady. There is the cause. And until you make that right, you’ll never get any better. That’s way back in…”
She said, “I don’t even think of that.”
E-47 I said, “No, you don’t, but your subconscious is thinking of that all the time.” And I said, “No psychiatrist could pull that out of you.” And I said, “You know that there’s nobody in the world knows that but you and that man alone.” I said, “God’s Holy Spirit has revealed to you and told you where your trouble, now you go make that right with your husband, and then you’ll get well.”
She said, “I can’t do it; it would break up our home, Brother Branham.” She started crying. Said, “Sister Branham, don’t you let him tell nobody that, like that.”
And I said, “Now…”
My wife said, “Why, he don’t tell things like that, sister.” Said, “You know, he wouldn’t do that.”
E-48 And she said, “Oh, my husband, he would–he would leave me right now.” And said, “Would break up my home, what would happen to my little children,” and so forth?
And I said, “Look, sister. First, clear yourself with God. God will take care of the rest of it.”
So, she said, “Well, I just can’t do it, Brother Branham.”
I said, “Of course, now that’s all I can do, sister. I just done what God told me do. There’s your trouble.” I said, “They can anoint you with oil, every five minutes through the day, for the rest of your life, it’ll never do you any good.” I said, “They might lay their hands on you and stomp and kick devils and say, ‘Get out of here, Satan,’ but you don’t–you don’t have to holler at him. He knows what faith is. He knows what–what your life is, so there’s no need of you trying to bluff him. He will stay right there, and got a right to stay there. As… He knows what his rights is, what he can do and what he can’t.”
And she said, “Well, I just can’t do it.”
E-49 I started to walk away, and she started crying. I looked back, and standing by her side stood another man in a vision. I said, “Isn’t your husband a kind of a tall man?”
“Yes.”
“He has black hair.”
“Yes.”
“Combs it over sideways, kind of wavy.”
“Yes.”
And I said, “He’s a deacon in that church.”
“Yes.”
And I said, “He’s got the same rotteness to confess to you.” I said, “When he landed in France, told about a girl with him.” Then said, “Working… Doesn’t he work for the Chevrolet company?”
Said, “Yes, he does.”
E-50 And I said, “There’s a lady works in there that’s black headed, in the office.” I said, “He was in a green Chevrolet car, and he was out in a lane at a certain place with that woman. She was wearing a pink dress, no more than the day before yesterday. He’s got the same thing to confess.”
“Why,” she said, “not my husband; he’s a deacon.”
I said, “No wonder Brother Johnson can’t get nowhere down there.” I said, “Such as that in your church.” That’s right. That’s what’s a whole lots a matter with a lot of churches too. God will never bless over sin. And I said, “You go get your…”
She said, “My husband wouldn’t.”
I said, “All right, that’s all I know now.” I said, “You go get your husband and make that thing right, and you all get your life straighten up, then God will be with you.”
Well, I went on in to see another person. And then when I come back, Meda… She went in and called her husband on the phone, and the other ladies come, and they went, and met. My wife said, “Do you think they’ll come back?”
I said, “Sure, they’ll be back.”
E-51 So it hadn’t been but a little while; my wife said, “Look, coming up the steps.” Here they come with their arms around one another, just a crying, the tears running down their cheeks. I opened the door.
I said, “What about it?”
He said, “Brother Branham,” said, “my wife called me, and I got in the car,” said, “she come confessing to me that a wrong that she had did. And then,” said, “she come accuse me of the same thing. And I said, ‘Where you been?’”
And then–and then,” said, “I–it’s the truth, Brother Branham.” Said, “I don’t know you. I’ve heard of you by Brother Johnson.” But said, “I never seen you, but I want to shake your hand and say, ‘It’s the absolutely truth, and I’m guilty, and no good to be called a father of my children, or a deacon in that church. And as soon as I can get Brother Johnson, I’ll resign from my job.’”
E-52 I said, “Don’t do that; just get right with God and continue with your job.” See? I said, “No need of doing that.”
He said, “Oh, if God would forgive me.”
I said, “Sure He’d forgive you. Now, you confess to your wife and ask her to forgive you. You all forgive one another?”
“Yes.”
I said, “Now, set down. Now, is the time.”
Then when I went down and said, “Heavenly Father, this demon has tormented this girl for all these years, has no legal right to hold her now. Because it’s done been found and made right, now come out of her in the Name of Jesus Christ.” And she’s perfectly normal and well from that time on. See, see?
What is it? It goes slow, but we get the cause. See what I mean? Visions, that’s the reason some of you send me letters and say, “Brother Roberts will pray for five hundred while I’m praying for two.”
