※THE VALUES OF THE MESSAGE OF THE HOUR ※ THE WORD ※ THE PROPHET ※ THE HEAVENLY WITNESSES ※ PILLAR OF FIRE ※ MYSTERY CLOUD ※ SEVEN MOUNTAIN PEAKS ※ HOFFMAN HEAD OF JESUS ┅ ETC
Many children know and have heard of great people in the politics, sports, music, and several other achievement and can tell these people by their pictures, but sad to say that the Prophet's picture of Pillar of Fire, the Picture of Mystery Cloud and several other laurels of the Message holds no meaning to them.
But this is not the case with Ronnie Evans who could tell that the Prophet was on the Mountain by the Supernatural Sight he was looking.
School teachers and pupils, hoards of people could not give an explanation for the strange phenomenon but a little boy has the answer right there at his Parents Gas Filling Station.
WHAT - A - LESSON?
301 Something said to me, "Go up yonder in the mountain, and I'll talk to you."
302 And while I was up in the mountain, not knowing that down in Tucson they were seeing It. But even the teachers called the children from… my little girl and them, from the schoolroom, and said, "Look yonder in that mountain! There is a fiery-looking amber Cloud going up in the air and coming back down, going up in the air and coming back down."
303 Mrs. Evans, are you here? Ronnie, you here? I come on back down by the station, this young boy by the filling station, the Evans' filling station there. And before I knowed what the boy was going to say, he took me on my feet, he said, "Brother Branham, you was up in that mountain over yonder, wasn't you?"
304 I said, "What do you mean, Ronnie?
No," see, to see what he was going to do. A lot of times things happen, I don't, you don't say it to people. It become… The thing of it is, you see so much happening, it becomes common to you. See? I just don't tell the people. I said, "Ronnie, what was you…"
305 He said, "I can show you right where you were at." Said, "I called mama, and we stood here and watched that Cloud hanging up in yonder, going up and down. I said, 'It's got to be Brother Branham sitting up in there somewhere. That's God talking to him.'"
306 And the whole city, people, looked at It. On a bright day with no clouds nowhere at all, with this big amber Cloud hanging there; coming down like a funnel, and going back and spreading out.

WHAT THEIR ASPIRATION SHOULD BE
Teach them they would rather be an Old - Time Christian than anything they know, because every other achievements will fade out no matter how long it is but a Christian will sail throughout Eternity.
A Christian has Peace, Enjoys His Existence and Has A Goodly Heritage. Now, everyone doesn't have this wonderful Comforter. They—they don't… They don't have It. They refuse It; they reject It because they just don't believe in It.
31 There's only one way that you'll ever be able to receive this wonderful Comforter is when you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, confess your sins, repent, have Christian baptism administered to you, and a promise that God will fill you with the Holy Spirit. That's His promise. He cannot go back on That. It's His promise. I've always said, if a person was thoroughly taught, and was repented, and from their heart had believed on God with all that was within them, and when they are baptized, immediately the Holy Spirit will come upon them, because He promised to do so. He promised it. "You shall receive the Holy Ghost, for the promise is unto you."
32 Now, people today, the reason that they don't receive that, is because it interferes with their spiritual life that they desire to live. The Bible said that the world, man, loved darkness more than Light, because their deeds are evil. And a person who loves to walk in darkness and do evil things, is—loves evil works, cannot love the Holy Spirit. Because the Bible said, "If you love the world, or the things of the world, the love of God is not even in you."
33 Now, you might've heard these Scriptures before, but let's take heed to Them. Are They true? They are more true than you're setting in this church tonight. They're more truer than this is the state of Arizona. They're more truer than you are a live human being. They're God's eternal Words, and His promises. And all heavens and earth will pass away, but them Words shall never pass away. They have meaning, the—meaning sublime. But they'll never mean nothing to you until God reveals Them to you. How beautiful it is to know that He cares for us.

DOMESTIC THINGS, ETIQUETTES AND GOOD MANNERS
THEIR CONDUCTS AT SCHOOLS
Now, you see, there's one thing you can do. Now, you go ahead. If they want to act like it, and have their world wants… If the boys and girls wants to go out there and do things, and tell stories, and say things that's wrong, and—and cheat, and steal, and—and do things bad, and copy in school, and things, go ahead; they lose. They lose it. But if they'll give it to Jesus, they won't do that, and then they'll save it. That's what you want to do. Isn't it?

THE COMPANIES AND FRIENDS TO KEEP
This is essential right from infancy till they are fully grown. Our Prophet said that when they even grow enough to Date a boy or girl, they should be Encouraged to keep good Christian Conpany 70 Now let's follow him a little bit. What happens when he turns away? He didn't listen to that Voice of Christ. He went with his friends.
71 Which, you kids, you're all fine kids, and you're bound to have friends, but watch what kind of friend you have. If that friend is following Christ, go with that friend. Follow Christ, too. But if it don't, don't do it.

AS WE EDUCATE THEM, WE MUST IMPRESS THIS EFFORT WITH PRAYERS FOR THEM. THE PROPHET AND HIS WIFE DID FOR SISTER REBEKKAH AS NARRATED IN C.O.D Pgs. 946-948 :
117 I've just went through the experience with my Rebekah. See? Just commit it to God. When she got to be a little "teeannie," and she was going with some girl when we first went out there, going—run over to some girl's house taking music lessons… And this girl… I come by one day, and here this girl was setting there at the piano playing rock-and-roll. Well, that was just enough for me. So I told her stay away from over there. See? And then she said, "Well, it's the only place I got to go to take music." (You know how "teeannies" get.)
And I said… Every kid has to go through that. Practically everyone goes through that age. You did; I did. And we got to think their thoughts.
119 So then, a few days after that her mother got after her for something, and she sassed her. Now, that's not Rebekah at all. Took off and slammed the door, almost, and knocked the things off the wall, went to school.
Now, I ought to have, seemingly, just taken my belt off, and followed her out there in the yard, and brought her back with warps around her. See? But I thought, "Wait a minute; I got to think eighteen year old thoughts." See? "Now," I said, "Mother, I know that…" She started crying, Meda. I said, "I know you done all you can do; I done all I can do. Now, if it's out of our hands, we have to take the next step.".................
130 So we there got down on our knees and committed it to God. I said, "I know she's eighteen years old, will be in a few days, and she and a girl that age will think about boyfriends, and we've kept her in." I said, "I—I never wanted to see her get married. I want to put her in the office here, do the work. I want to see her filled with the Spirit and—and—and live like that. "
And she… Well, we all wanted that. She said, "Well, we can't do that." Said, "She just won't listen to it."
I said, "Wait a minute. We've raised her all we can, now put her in the hands of God: commit her." And I said, "Then when she does anything say, 'Becky, darling, mother don't want you to do that, but I'm your pal; I'll stick by you.' See? Let her know that you love her. She's going to get somebody to love her, and it might be the wrong woman." See? I said, "You be the woman does the loving." I said, "Honey, that sounds kind of crude, but people come everywhere, and set on personal interviews, and things." I said, "I'm so common; we're common to one another, because we're husband and wife, but we never let that happen. You must remember, this is the Name of the Lord."
So she said, "All right."
We got down and committed it to God. Said we'd take our hands off it. That afternoon she come in; she said, "Well, I guess you're still saying I ain't going over there."
Meda said, "No, I never said nothing about it." Said, "You know, mother don't want you to do that; and you know it liked to killed your daddy when he heard you up there playing that boogie-woogie music, ever what it was, with that girl." Said, "Now, he didn't want you to do that, and we don't want you to do that, Becky, but we just committed it to the Lord. I want you to know we love you. Whatever you do, we still love you."
She hollered, said, "I'm going anyhow."
Said, "All right, dear." So went ahead. Said, "All right, I'll have supper ready when you get back." She never did go. No, she's never went since. See?
Not long after that she met George; George is a Christian. That—that settled it then.
