Brother Branham joined the Missionary Baptist Church in Jeffersonville, and was ordained a minster.
In 1923, Brother Branham was accidentally shot in the leg while hunting with a friend. The shotgun wound was severe, and his family was unable to pay for medical expenses. Laying on a hospital bed, he had a vision of falling into hell. Years later in a message "Souls Under The Altar" he would tell of how he saw women in a department store looking just like the creatures he saw in this vision.
In 1916, at the age of seven Brother Branham was carrying two buckets of water when he heard what sounded like a whirlwind. As he looked at the whirlwind he heard a human Voice speak and said to him " Don't you never drink, smoke, or defile your body in any way. There'll be a work for you to do when you get older." Hearing this Voice this scared young boy dropped his buckets and fled to his mother screaming as he went.
At the age of three years old a voice spoke to him." And I heard a bird, and it was singing up in a tree. And I looked up to that tree and the bird flew away, and, when it did, a Voice spoke to me. Now, I know you think I could not think and remember that. But the Lord God Who's Judge, the earth ans the heavens and all there is, knows that I'm telling the truth. That bird, when it flew away, a Voice came from where the bird was in the tree, like a wind caught in the bush, and It said, "You'll live near a city called New Albany." And I've lived from the time I was three years old until this time, within three miles of New Albany, Indiana." - William Branham 'Life Story -1955'
At a little over two years old he had his first vision.
