The Impact of Revelation
With deep gratitude, I look back to the number of times I have been privileged to attend the meetings, or privately speak to Bro. Branham, the prophet of God. Throughput the years 1955-65, I was able to make a profound study of the message he brought from the Word of God. In the year 1955, Bro. Branham came to Europe. Thousands of people from all over Europe gathered to hear this man of God and witnessed the mighty miracle equal to those recorded in the book of Acts.
The God-give authority that this man was speaking by left a deep impression upon me. When he said to the blind, “Receive your sight in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!” that person was no longer blind. When he said to those crippled in stretchers, “you are healed by the power of God, rise up in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth!” it was so. The Word of God spoken by this man never returned void. Time and again we were amazed, when he would say to a person standing before him, “You are not from this city, you are from Hamburg, Zurich, Berlin, etc.” By divine revelation, he was able to tell the people he prayed for their illness, their domestic or spiritual problems, and even discern the secrets of their heart. To the amazement of everyone, he never questioned those coming for prayer, but rather told them their needs.
It was the day after the service that I came in contact with the gift of discernment. I was a stranger to Bro. Branham and didn’t know anything about him or his ministry. Yet my heart was filled with a deep love for this man. We met in the hotel lounge. Before we shook hands, he pointed towards me, as I was standing at the reception desk and said, “You are a minister of the Gospel.” Then he turned to his left, where my wife was standing near the entrance and pointed at her, saying, “And this is your wife.” The short time of the fellowship we had, left us overwhelmed and thankful. We departed with tears in our eyes, because we had been privileged to meet God’s man for this hour.
In the year 1958, while attending a convention in Dallas, Texas, my eyes were opened to the special ministry of this man of God. In receiving all his tapes preached in Jeffersonville, Ind., from the year 1959 onward, we received great spiritual blessing by listening to these messages.
Then came the unforgettable day of April 2, 1962, when I heard the audible voice of the Lord. As the sun was about to rise on that beautiful morning, I heard the following words spoken to me, “My servant, your time for this city will soon be over. I will send you to other cities to preach my Word.” After this was said I was taken outside the body, standing approximately three to four metres from where I was in the natural. My arms were hanging down, with the palms open to where I was standing in the spiritual. I could see myself open the mouth of my natural body and hear my reply, “Lord, they have everything in plenty and will not listen to me.”
Just after a moment of silence, the voice of the Lord spoke again, “My servant, the time will come, when they will hear you. Store up food, for a great famine is coming. Then you shall stand in the midst of the people to give out the food.” I testify that these words are truth before God and man. I shall for ever remember the authority of that voice; I thought, if it speaks again, the whole world would come to a stop. There were no emotions of rejoicing or jumping, but rather a reverence and awe in the presence of the Lord.
Certain groceries like vegetables and flour were named in connection with the storing up of the food. Therefore I believed at first that it was meant in the natural. But on Dec.3rd, the same year, I had the privilege to receive an answer from the Lord regarding the meaning of my experience. I decided to see Bro. Branham about this. Arriving at the airport in Louisville, Kentucky, I called Bro. Branham. To my utter disappointment, he had left and no one knew his whereabouts.
I was very discouraged, as this was on a Saturday and I hoped to meet Bro. Branham on the weekend. On that Sunday morning, I went to the Tabernacle for the service. Suddenly a brother gave forth a prophecy, saying that I had not come in vain, but would meet the prophet and would be told the things that I needed to know. Oh, that lifted a burden from me! The next day, Bro. Branham returned and fetched me from the YMCA Hotel in Louisville. Two brothers were with him and we had dinner together. Bro. Branham carried on the conversation and I was anxiously awaiting my turn to speak. I started to say, “Bro. Branham, may I now ask you something?” those were the only words I could speak before he replied, “Bro. Frank, may I tell you what the Lord has spoken to you?”
Many times I had witnessed the gift of discernment in the operation during the meetings, but I was overwhelmed when my turn came. Bro. Branham repeated word for word in the precise order the Lord had spoken them to me in Germany. I was so impressed by this supernatural gift that my speech failed me and I could listen. Bro. Branham continued to say, “Bro. Frank, the famine is not a natural famine and the food is not the natural food.” He said, “God will send a famine to hear His Word, and the food you are to store up is the revealed Word of God for this hour, which is kept on the tapes. Wait with the giving out until you get the rest of the food, which belongs with it.” I cannot express what this experience meant to me.
We stored up the precious food until the end of 1965. Then, when Br. Branham was taken to be with the Lord, the time had come for the giving out of the stored up spiritual food.
Almost day and night the believers of this end time message are busy translating and publishing the sermons of Bro. Branham into the many languages around the world. Even in the countries behind the former Iron Curtain, which I have visited several times, including Russia, his messages is being read.
Dear friend, with honesty of heart, I have tried by the grace of God to share with you in simplicity what has become very precious to me and many others. I trust that your eyes are blest to see it and your hearts to receive it. May you read the contents of this brochure prayerfully, until the Holy Spirit has given you the full revelation thereof. Please search the Scripture diligently and ask God He will answer you. Amen.
May the grace of God be with you all.
