No man of God bears witness of himself, but instead of what the Lord has said and done. I have also been addressed by the Lord repeatedly as “My servant” – the first time on April 2, 1962: “My servant, your time for this city will soon be over. I will send you to other cities to preach My Word …” This is as true as God lives, and I have done accordingly in the direct commission and Will of God in the past 50 years. It is well-known that the Lord also said, “My servant, store up food, for a great famine is coming … then you shall stand among the people and give out the food ...”

“My servant, according to Mt 24:45-47 I have ordained you to give out the food …” The Word of our Lord had to be fulfilled now; after all, the Lord Himself said, “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?” He knew when it would be.

The concern here is about a wise servant, whom the Lord has appointed. That is how it is written; the Lord Himself said it. It is the command of the hour to distribute the spiritual food to all the servants so that they also may have a part in giving it out. This belongs to the divine Plan of Salvation, which we all abide by.

After all, Brother Branham stored the food as instructed by the Lord. It was no coincidence that he said on April 1, 1962, that the Lord had commanded him not to travel to Switzerland, but instead store in the food. It was no coincidence that on April 2, 1962, the Lord directed me to store in the food. It was no coincidence that on December 3, 1962, in front of two witnesses, the prophet said, “Brother Frank, the food that you are supposed to store in is the promised Word for this day. The food is in the sermons that are being recorded on tape, but wait with the giving out until you receive the rest of it.” It is also no coincidence that God announced in Amos 8:11 that He would send the spiritual famine of hearing His words. Also in our time, God has done nothing without first revealing His counsel to His servant and prophet as well as to His servants, the apostles (Amos 3:7; Eph 3:5).

It is no coincidence that in Mt 24 the Lord first spoke about everything that would happen and then directly addressed the most important text for the Church (vv. 45-47). The Lord spoke these verses aloud, with emphasis. Yes, and then comes the part in chapter 25:1-12. For this current phase, these are the two most important Scriptures. Now there are the wise and the foolish among the called-out ones. The wise will respect the ministry appointed by God, partake of the pure spiritual food, and be filled and sealed with the Holy Spirit.

There were other occurrences in which the Lord addressed me with a commanding voice as “My servant” and gave direct instructions. Whenever I recall them, I always become aware of the great responsibility associated with the direct commission. I am also just a man who is dependent on God’s grace. But when it comes to the ministry, I have done everything according to the commandment of the Lord: I have personally preached the Word of God in more than 150 countries; have proclaimed the Message on many TV and radio stations around the world; have translated the sermons of Brother Branham and thus given out the spiritual food. Although it is generally known that I have carried the Message around the world after the passing of Brother Branham, let it be said here once again for those who are newcomers. Whoever has the Spirit of truth will believe it; those who have the spirit of deception are unable to believe it. A direct commission that is connected to the Plan of Salvation can and will only be accepted and believed by the ones who really are in the Kingdom of God and are part of the Bride Church.

It is clear to us that a direct calling and commission are accompanied by the greatest responsibility that exists in the Church of God; we are also aware that the apostle gave the warning with respect to the brothers that cause divisions through false teachings (Rom 16:17). In 2 Cor 11, where he showed concern about presenting a chaste virgin unto Christ, he also complained about false brethren, calling them false apostles, deceitful workers who misrepresent themselves. In chapter 13, he repeatedly appealed to the faithful: “Be perfect …”

To the church of the Galatians, he wrote in all sincerity: “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach another gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”

In Eph 4, he spoke about the wind of different doctrines, calling them the sleight of men. Yes, and in 2 Tim 2:16-22, he wrote about the profane, vain babblings that increase unto more ungodliness and mentioned Hymenaeus and Philetus, whose teaching that the resurrection had already taken place spread like a cancer. Is it not the same now with all of the false teachings? To this day, the true doctrine has not caused any division; on the contrary, all of the ministries that God has given are for the edification of the body of Christ (Eph 4).

Paul had a responsibility; he had a calling, a commission, and a direct task. For him, the Church of God was the pillar and foundation of the truth (1 Tim 3:15). He summarized the objective of his proclamation in 1 Cor 9:1-3: “Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord? If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord. Mine answer to them that do examine me …”

“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (Isa 55:11).
