Dear Lambs,
亲爱的羊羔们，
What an honor and privilege it is to say, “We are God’s lambs, whom He sent His seventh angel messenger to call out and feed His stored-up and hidden Manna.”
能够这样说，：“我们是神的羊羔，祂派遣了祂的第七位天使使者来呼召我们，并用祂储存并隐藏的吗哪来喂养我们。” 这是何等的荣幸和特权。
We are satisfied and believe this Message is the Voice of God that has been sent to perfect His Bride. We believe the shuck is pulling away from the wheat, and now His Bride is laying in the Presence of the Son, PRESSING PLAY to ripen. 我们感到满足，并相信这信息是神的声音，是被差来成全祂的新妇的。我们相信麦壳正从麦子中脱离，现在祂的新妇正藉着躺在儿子的同在中，按下播放键来成熟。
And that’s what we’re here for, friend, stay in the Presence of the Son till our little group of people here, till it becomes so ripe to Christ, it become bread on His table. That’s what I want it to do.
这就是我们在这里的目的，朋友，待在神儿子的同在中，直到我们这里的这一小群人，直至在基督里成熟到如此地步，以至于成为祂桌上的饼。这就是我想要我们这小群做到的。
Anyone that don’t believe that PRESSING PLAY and hearing the vindicated Voice of God speak is the most important Voice you must hear, is a person running from the presence of the Lord.
任何人，若不相信「按下播放键、聆听那经证实的、神的声音」是你必须听到的最重要声音，他就是一个躲避主面的人。
You have to face up to it, or do something about it. You have got a responsibility, everybody has, and you must face up to these things.
你必须面对它，或者采取行动。你们都有责任，每个人都有，你必须正视这些事情。
How true and important this quote is for today. There is so much division among the called out of God. Is it more essential to play tapes in church to hear the Voice of God, or is it now more essential for the ministry to minister the Word?
这段话语对今天来说是多么真实和重要。在神所选召出来的人中间，存在着如此多的分歧。是在教会里播放录音带聆听神的声音更重要，还是传道人来传道更重要呢？
God has called and placed the ministry here to keep the Word before the people. They are Shepherds. The Word teaches this. They are to be respected and honored as men whom God has called and placed.
神呼召并设立了传道人，在这里使道常摆在人们面前。他们是牧人。道是这样教导的。他们作为神所呼召并设立的人，理应受到尊重和敬重。
We cannot, and should not, ever say they are not the Bride. That is WRONG and not according to what the prophet taught us. I’ve heard people say: “If they are not playing the tapes in their churches, they are anti-Word.” You should never say such a thing like that. That shows me you have the wrong spirit.
我们不能，也不应该说他们不是新妇。那样是错误的，也不符合先知所教导我们的。我听见有人说：“如果他们不在教会里播放录音带，他们就是反对真道的。”你绝不该说那样的话。那样就向我表明了你有错误的灵。
I’ve heard others have said, “They all must stream with BT or they are out of the will of God”. You should never say such a thing as that. Only God knows who is and who isn’t Bride. That isn’t the spirit of the Bride to say such a thing as that. 我听见别人曾说，“他们都必须跟着伯兰罕会幕同步听直播信息，否则他们就在神的旨意之外”。你绝不该说那样的话。只有神知道谁是、谁不是新妇。说这样的话的，并不是新妇的灵。
Even some of the people that are streaming with BT are saying, “if you go to church to hear the tapes and don’t stream in your home you’re wrong!” That is incorrect brother and sisters. If you’re saying that, STOP, you are wrong. Everyone must do as THEY FEEL LED OF THE LORD TO DO.
甚至一些跟着伯兰罕会幕同步听直播信息的人在说，“如果你去教会听录音带，却不在家里同步收听直播，你就错了！”。 那是错误的，弟兄姐妹们。如果你在这么说，请停止，你错了。每个人都必须按照他们觉得主带领他们的方式去做。
Many ministers feel preaching is God’s provided way for today. We just see things different, that’s alright. How many times did Brother Branham make this same comparison? We just heard him on Q&A, when people were talking about Brother Jackson being wrong, he condemned them saying anything against him and his church.
许多传道人觉得讲道是神为今天预备的方式。我们只是看法不同，那没关系。伯兰罕弟兄曾多少次做过同样的比较？我们最近在《问题与解答》中听到，当人们谈论杰克逊弟兄是错误的时候，他责备了那些说他和他教会坏话的人。
I’m just preaching by way of this letter what I believe is God’s provided way for the Branham Tabernacle. They are our brothers and sisters. They love the Lord and this Message. That is how they feel the Lord is leading them. Praise the Lord.
我只是通过这封信传讲我认为的神为伯兰罕会幕预备的方式。他们是我们的弟兄姐妹。他们爱主和这信息。那是他们感到是主带领他们的方式。赞美主。
They see it one way and we see it another, that’s fine. I can’t see it their way and they can’t see mine. To me, there are many ways God has provided, but there is only ONE PERFECT WAY, AND FOR ME, THAT’S PRESSING PLAY.
他们以一种方式看，我们以另外一种方式看，那没关系。我不能按他们的方式看，他们也不能按我的方式看。对我来说，神预备了许多方式，但只有一种完美的方式，对我而言，那就是按下播放键。
I pray I am not misunderstood here. Laying on of hands and praying for the people is 100% according to the Word. Anointing with oil and praying for the sick is God’s Word according to the Scripture. Brother Branham preached and taught both to us to be the Word. But I want GOD’S PERFECT WAY HE HAS PROVIDED….JUST BELIEVE BECAUSE GOD SAID SO. That is what I am striving to do.
我祈求在这里不被误解。按手并为百姓祷告百分之百符合真道。用油抹并为病人祷告是圣经圣经的神的真道。伯兰罕弟兄曾向我们传讲并教导这两者都是真道。但我想要神所预备的完美方式—-只要相信，因为神这样说了。这就是我正努力去做的。
But now for healing, it’s just God’s mercy that He, “By His stripes you were healed.” Now, first the Word says so, that should be sufficient, but if you don’t believe it in the Word, then there’s gifts in the Church, such as men who are inspired to know how to teach that, that’ll make it so plain to you, that’s, and faith to believe.
请看，关于医治，这是神的怜悯，“因他的鞭伤，你们得了医治。”那么，首先神的道是这样说的，这本该就够了，但如果你不相信神的道中所说的，那么教会中还有些恩赐，比如那些被感动的人，知道如何教导那些事，会向你解释得很明白，让你有信心去相信。
I believe in the 5-fold ministry. I believe in God called men to preach and teach the Word. But, I believe hearing the Voice of God on the tapes is God’s PERFECT WAY FOR ME.
我相信五重职分。我相信神呼召人去传讲和教导真道。但是，我相信在录音带上聆听神的声音是神为我预备的完美的道路。
In hearing the tapes, I don’t even have to understand, JUST BELIEVE EVERY WORD I HEAR. There is no person, no minister, no other place I can go to where I believe EVERY WORD and place my Eternal destination, but the tapes. 在听录音带时，我甚至不需要明白，只要相信我听到的每一个字。没有任何人，任何传道人，任何其他地方可以让我相信每一个字并把我永恒的归宿寄托在上面，唯有录音带。
Never before since the beginning of time has God give His people the opportunity and the ability to hear for themselves His Voice speak lip to ear. Every mystery is revealed in the tapes. Every question is answered on the tapes. Everything the Bride needs to be perfected is on the tapes.
自从起初以来，神从未给过祂的子民这样的机会和能力，能亲耳听到祂的声音对着耳朵说话。每一个奥秘都在录音带中揭示了。每一个问题都在录音带中得到了解答。新妇为了得以完全所需的一切都在录音带中。
Every Word spoken on the tapes is God’s Word. I might not understand or be able to explain everything, but I don’t have to. He just requires me to say AMEN TO EVERY WORD, and the TAPES is the ONLY place I can do that.
录音带上说的每一个字都是神的真道。我可能无法理解或解释一切，但我不需要那样做。祂只要求我对每一个字说阿门，而录音带是我唯一能这样做的地方。
But when—when you have to do something different, when you have to stand to your conviction of what you know to be the Truth, there is where the hard part, that’s the rub comes, right there.
但是当——当你必须做些不同的事情时，当你必须坚持你你晓得是真理的信念时，那就是很艰难的地方，摩擦就在那儿产生，就在那儿。
I believe with all that is in me, we are in God’s perfect Will and on the ship to Nineveh. I’d love for the world to come sail on our ship with us this Sunday at 12:00 P.M., Jeffersonville time, as we hear God speak to His Lambs.
我全身心相信，我们是在神的完美旨意中，是在前往尼尼微的船上。我希望全世界在这周日中午12:00（杰弗逊维尔时间），和我们一起在我们的船上航行，届时我们将听见神对祂的羊羔们说话。
