Circular Letter May 1980
All of Brother Branham’s sermons, without exception, are previous to us, whether they are evangelistic or teaching, whether they are with or without a healing service, as we are presented with a diverse and all-encompassing sovereign working of God in them. In his ministry, it also went from clarity to clarity, from knowledge to knowledge. He passed things on just as he received them from God. As already mentioned, the opening of the seals was the beginning of an extraordinary period of his ministry. On April 1, 1962, Brother Branham spoke of an extraordinary dream and its interpretation, which was revealed to him by the Lord Himself. He was told not to go on a planned trip to Switzerland and other countries, but to store food in Jeffersonville. At that time, the storing of food was still in the future. Individual events of 1962 are known to us from various sermons. On December 30, 1962, Brother Branham spoke of the appearance of the seven angels, as shown to him in the vision on December 22, 1962. On February 28, 1963, this extraordinary event happened. The Lord appeared in a cloud of light surrounded by seven angels and commissioned him to return to Jeffersonville because the time came to open the seven seals.
Right in the first seal, he stated that it had a completely different meaning than he had previously accepted and preached. What matters here is that we understand what is meant by food from God's point of view: not only preaching, but the revelation of the mysteries of the Word, the hidden manna is food for God's people at this time. Therefore, in the future, we will focus on publishing Brother Branham’s sermons that were preached in Jeffersonville after the opening of the seals.
Surely it is no coincidence that Brother Branham spoke of God's commission to store food on April 1, 1962. On April 2, 1962, at dawn, I was given the same commission, as Brother Branham confirmed in front of witnesses in December 1962. He literally told me, "The food you are to store is the Word revealed by God for this time." I can only point out with all seriousness that God's revealed Word is binding on each of us. In the power of God's food, we want to boldly move forward. Whoever exalts himself in his heart and places himself above Brother Branham in his sayings does not speak out of the Spirit in which he spoke, and it does not matter how many Scriptures are used to adorn it.
As already mentioned in this circular letter, what matters is the summary of the entire Word of God, the revelation of all mysteries. On various occasions, Brother Branham referred to certain things and emphasized that they could only have been revealed through or after the opening of the seals. There is no man to whom God has given authority to judge it. Instead, we would like to ask the Lord to give us the grace to set aside our education in the Scriptures and receive the revelation from God with all our heart. On the basis of the Word of God, the Lord will complete His Church and present it without spot or wrinkle before the presence of His glory. Let no one intentionally transgress and elevate themselves above God and worship, but let them be included and united. May the blessing of God be with all of you. Amen.
