​
Translation
The preaching will be in English.

Music, instruments, special songs
We would love to have each group sing a special song. Practice your specials at home, as there will be very limited time to do a final practice during the conference.
You can let us know what songs you'll be singing (with lyrics) by email at messageyouth@outlook.com.
​
Bearing in mind that many of you play instruments in your local churches, we cannot have everyone play their instrument during the song services. For harmonic reasons we will play with a fixed instrumental setup. However you are more than welcome to play your instrument during your group's special.

1 Samuel 17:37

62-0704 - We Would See Jesus
Rev. William Marrion Branham
God told Joshua, in Joshua 1, “Wherever the soles of your foot treads upon, that I’ve given you for a possession.” So, footprints means “possession.” Some people can just get, just barely get to the—to the edge of the land. Some can take the two-handed Sword and cut their way through Philistines and Amorites till they take the whole thing. That’s what we should do. Every promise is to us. We got a…Footprints is possession. Walk right up and take it! God gave it to us. It’s a promise and it’s the Truth, and it’s for us.​
62-0701 - To Take On The Whole Armor Of God
Rev. William Marrion Branham
and He told Joshua, in Joshua 1, He said, “Wherever the soles of your foot treads upon, that I have given you.” So footprints means possession. See, just keep walking, walking, pressing on. And every time you make a step into the Kingdom of God, that’s yours, just on…And all things are possible that’s given, and all things are given is possible. But it’s a battle.
