Circular letter May/June 1998
I do not have words to express the goodness of God and the guidance of His Holy Spirit. Especially the meetings since March this year in the regions of the Far East were like a breakthrough in many countries around the “golden triangle”. It is already known what God is doing in Eastern Europe, where thousands attend the meetings, as we had access to TV and the media in general, and in Asia and Africa. Now we see China and the bordering countries included. The brothers there begged me not to publish their names, so the work would not be hindered. I also came to know that my three brochures, which have been used world-wide in various languages since the late sixties, are also published in the Chinese and other languages. Thousands believe the message of the hour, hundreds are already baptised in the apostolic way. The sermon I preached on 16th March was directly translated into the Chinese language and is being shared with many.
The picture to the right shows some of Brother Branham’s publications in Chinese.
The Lord is doing great things. Truly from all nations He is calling the last ones for His Name’s sake. It is a world-wide ministry ordained of the Almighty. The good part of it is that we do find ourselves in every aspect agreeing with the Word of God. For all the precious souls throughout the earth I gladly bear the criticism of those who are proud within themselves and full of jealousy. I have taken my stand for the Truth, fighting for the faith which was once and for all delivered to the saints and therefore have been wounded many a times at the battle front.
What I said when I started the ministry according to my commission will be the valid statement right to the end: I do not wish praise and reward — my reward is embedded in the saving of all the souls which were redeemed and purchased by the high price (1 Pet. 1:18-21). Nothing I did of myself, it is Christ Who has done it through an earthly vessel. Never did I ask for a call or commission. In His sovereignty the Lord called me with His mighty, all-penetrating audible voice and therefore I have to share the spiritual stored-in food with God’s children everywhere. Great sacrifices were required of me family-wise etc. Every month for over 30 years half of my time was spent in travelling to different nations, the second half was used in the Mission Centre in translation-work etc. I have sacrificed all I am and have, but in comparison to the sacrifice of my Redeemer it is very little.
As stated earlier everything has its time. God has promised that the days would come when He would send a famine to hear His Word (Amos 8:11). In Mt. 24:45 He confirmed that the food should be given out to the household in due season. Brother Branham was the one through whom all the mysteries hidden in God’s Word were revealed, known to us as the message of the hour. Now it is our part to feed the flock of Christ with the precious hidden manna and keep their souls alive. This will be recognised by all true children of God who stand firm on the written Word and believe the promises for our time and therefore have part in what the Lord is doing now not only what He has done up to the middle of the sixties.
May Gods richest blessings be with all of you. May all remain sober in life, balanced in the Scripture, so no shame would come upon our Lord and Saviour.
World-wide my theme is: The return of Christ and the fulfilment of Bible prophecy in our time. To know how to be prepared and to be ready for that moment is very important. Our lives must be brought into the Bible pattern. We were brought back in all the teachings to the beginning. The Bible Church at the end must be as she was one heart and one soul, totally restored. Not the talking about it, but to experience it is the command of the hour. Theoretically we can have all things in words, but the Kingdom of God comes with power to accomplish in reality and bring to live the whole Word. Even now the spoken revealed and preached Word shall not return void, but bring forth the Bride-Church.
May God have His way with all His children everywhere.
