This is indeed a great time in the history of mankind. New discoveries are being made in every field. Enormous progress has been achieved — the unbelievable has transpired. Nothing seems impossible anymore. This generation has witnessed the transition from the days of the horse and buggy to the space age. Everybody is striving to keep up with the time. Now the big question arises: Are we up to date in the things of the Kingdom of God? What about our spiritual progress? Did we go along with the moving of the Holy Spirit, as the Lord is about to take us into the highest heights?

Perhaps you are a Christian — grateful for what God has done in times past. Maybe you are even looking forward with anticipation to what He will do in the future; but the vital question is, “Are you realising the acts of the Holy Spirit now, as He is leading the Bride of Christ to perfection?”

The Church of Jesus Christ was founded on the day of Pentecost, when God Himself set the pattern for true Christianity throughout the Gentile dispensation. He will recognise nothing but His Word. Every individual, every assembly must compare their doctrines, their foundational beliefs and experiences with the teachings of the early Church. Each believer had a personal supernatural experience with Christ and was placed into the Church by the Holy Spirit as son and daughter of God.

Sad to say, although the Church had such a glorious beginning, carnality gradually crept into the realms of the redeemed. People began to wax cold and formal and started to teach their own creeds and legalistic doctrines. As the time went by, indifference set in — the majority of Christendom began to diverge from the path of light and stoop into spiritual darkness. But the Lord watches over His own. He sent a messenger to each of the seven church ages to kindle the fire of God afresh. The small minority group always held fast to the faith of the apostolic fathers. The great Holy Spirit moved in their midst and guided them into the promised Word for the hour.

“Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise” (Gal. 4: 28). The children of promise receive the Word of promise and are sealed by the Spirit of promise (Eph. 1: 13).

In the days gone by, the revivals that have swept across the nations were times of refreshing from the Lord, in which He drew the attention of His children to the very fulfilment of the promised Word. The faith of Abraham and all his seed has always rested upon the promises God made.

God has always graciously led His own and directed their path. Even during the Dark Ages, they were able to endure savage persecutions and tortures, because God was with them. With thankful hearts we can look back to the days of the Reformation and the revivals that followed, in which God led His own step by step into deeper light. We cannot, however, stop with any of the past visitations, out of which many denominations have sprung up. The Spirit of God never stays within the limited boundaries of an organisation; He continues to move and manifest His power amongst all true believers until they are moulded into the blessed image of the Lord Jesus Christ. Soon He will return for a Word–Bride without spot or wrinkle.

At the turn of this century, a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit took place; the gifts were restored to the children of God. All over the earth, people experienced a time of spiritual refreshing from on High. The old–timers of every country can testify of that powerful visitation of Almighty God. But He didn’t fail His own thereafter. Many are still a living testimony of the mighty salvation and healing revival that followed World War II. In His great compassion and love, the Lord kept wooing His children by His Holy Spirit to attract their attention to the promised Word for our day. According to His Word, He purposed to illuminate the details of His eternal plan and disclose the great mysteries hidden throughout the ages.

This last move started out under the direct commission of Almighty God, given to William Branham in May 1946. His unique and outstanding salvation and healing ministry had a great impact upon the masses. The Lord Himself confirmed the Gospel before the eyes of hundreds and thousands of people around the globe. However, when the true Bible doctrines were taught, the masses were not willing to accept them. It became apparent that they were after the loaves and the fish. The group of the true followers of Christ narrowed down again and only a minority is embracing the prophetic ministry in its entirety by recognising the day and its message — they are ready to follow the Lord wherever He leads.

Since the days of the apostles, the Word of God has not been preached in its fullness as in this revival of restoration. Jesus Christ has manifested His power and proved Himself to be the same yesterday, today and forever, in the true meaning of the Word. Those of us privileged to live in this last church age have seen the light and were brought out of spiritual darkness. The Word–Bride, the elect of God, are returning to the original scriptural teachings under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

We have now reached the very last days of the complete restoration of the Church of the living God as promised in Joel 2: 25, “And I will restore to you the years …”. Acts 3: 21 plainly states that the heaven must receive Christ “until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the age began.” Jesus Christ will return for a Bride completely restored to His Word.

Whenever God sent a spiritual revival, His people took heed to the divine call and separated themselves from all unbelief, indifference and formalism. They moved on as the Holy Spirit led.

Never before in history have there been evangelistic and religious activities on such a full–scale basis as in our day. Never have we had the means and possibilities as now; but it also has never been so difficult to find your way through, as right and wrong is so closely associated together in these very last days. Jesus said in Mt. 24: 24, that towards the end the times would be so deceptive that even the very elect would be deceived, if it were possible. Thanks be to God, it is not.

We hear so much about Christ and the Church, but where is He found the way the Bible presents Him? Where is the Church as the Scripture describes her? Does not every Christian denomination claim to be ‘the church’? Are not all the religious activities ascribed to the Name of Jesus Christ? Everyone claims to be right, but mere claims justify no one. In the sight of God, there is only one true Church — the dwelling place of the Most High, “the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.” There is only “one Lord, one faith, one baptism” (Eph. 4: 5). All members of the body of Christ are joined together with one another and with Him (1 Cor. 12: 12).

We all must refrain from any private interpretation and let the Word of God speak for itself. The hidden treasures are discovered and brought to light through the prophetic ministry in our day. We realise that the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is very near and cannot afford to listen to the many voices around us. We must hear and obey the call of the voice of the Good Shepherd, who is beckoning His sheep to follow Him. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God” (Mt. 4: 4) — not just by some passages, which fit into our own conception, but by every Word of God.

Let the Bible be the only authority and guideline in all scriptural things. We are now treading upon holy ground, as we deal with the Word of prophecy. Just take off your shoes, while the Lord speaks.
