Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, this is brother Frank speaking to you from the International Mission Center, in Krefeld, Germany. Was just greet you with 2nd Timothy chapter 4 verse 2:
“Preach the Word…”
Preach the word!
We had wonderful meetings preaching and teaching the Word of God. I think from 23 different nations there were gathered here in the Mission Center and I think around 1000 people were here to listen to the preaching and to the teaching of the Word of God.
Then we also reminded about the tragedy happened to Houston, Texas and the area, thinking it was in January 1950, when brother Branham was preaching in the Houston Coliseum and 8000 were gathered to hear the Word of God. And the debate was going on – about divine healing, about apostolic days – and then finally brother Branham was called to the platform and he said: “I'm not here to defend myself. The One who sent me will speak for me.” And that is when this picture with a supernatural light above brother Branham appeared in January 1950.
And beloved brothers and sisters, because I knew Brother Branham for 10 years, having been in his meetings in Germany and in the USA, I also took a trip to Washington to see this picture in the Hall of Art, Washington D.C. It was December 18th 1968, when this took place.
But beloved brothers and sisters, even so much supernatural confirmation in the life and ministry of this man of God as it had never happened before and yet, until the opening of the seals in 1963 brother Branham had evangelistic meetings and everybody was speaking about him and his special gift of healing, about his special ministry and he was the main speaker in the full-gospel conventions especially arranged by Gordon Lindsey where I also took place.
But after the opening of the seven seals, when he had to come out with the truths of the Word of God, when the teaching ministry, the prophetic teaching ministry set in, then of course many turned their back and did not receive him anymore.
But he was a man sent from God with the Word of God and I’d like to read two-three statements he made and I do this with one purpose: To let you know the William Branham was not only a prophet he was also a man. He was also a human being, expressing his own thoughts.
Here, on the 28th November 1963 brother Branham said in the sermon “Testimony”:
“Now, that the Word – you must never leave that Word! You must stay exactly with that Word the way it is written! Don't put no private interpretation to it! Just say it, just say it, the way it's written! That is God's Word and that is God! God and His Word is the same, just the some.”
Beloved, if you would know what that means to me!
“Preach the Word!” – that was a direct commission I heard from the lips of the Lord with the tremendous voice penetrating my body, soul and spirit – I heard with these ears – to preach the Word of God!
But what has happened with all the statements brother Branham made, that he could not make from the Scriptures? That he said of himself?
Beloved, we just have to face reality. The time is so serious and the return of Christ is so near, that we must make our decision, we must come back to the original foundation laid by the apostles and prophets.
And also if you read Acts chapter 3 from verse 19-21, the promise given to us at this time is the most important: God would send a prophet to restore all things. He has sent His prophet, all things where restored… BUT WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY DIRECTIONS?! My God in heaven! Why?
There is one body, one church, one faith, one Lord, one baptism! Why do we have so many directions and all refer to the prophet? How come? Because they don't go back to the Word of God! They lost the respect towards the Word of God!
I give you one example: Brother Branham made the statement:
“Say only what I say on the tape. Go back to the tape and play the tape and say only what I said.”
And we all know what he means by that. Not one can say: “He said this…” and: “He said that…”, but go back to what he actually said!
And now from this statement even in Jeffersonville they only run the tapes of William Branham. Nobody is preaching, misunderstanding totally what the prophet meant – that nobody has a right to change what he said and then go back to the tape.
BUT WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE BIBLE! TO THE WORD OF GOD!
And therefore we must understand: The restoration means what it says – that the New Testament Church must be restored to how she was at the very beginning. And into this Church God places the ministries. The apostle Paul never once said: “I’m going to place prophets, apostles, teachers, evangelists and pastors…”
NO!
If you read the Word of God, Ephesians chapter 4, 1st Corinthians chapter 12: “GOD HAS PLACED INTO THE CHURCH…” William Branham was not placed just in the local church! William Branham was called divinely by Almighty God for the whole body of Christ, for the whole Earth to present the message that were now taking to the nations and God's people listens to the Word of God.
But the same William Branham, our beloved prophet, when dedicating his daughter Rebecca said on 21st April 1957:
“There is my little girl who someday will be a prophetess also.”
That was William Branham speaking. His daughter Rebecca lived and died without being a prophetess. It was the desire of the prophet, but it was not “Thus says the Lord!” Then on November 29th 1959, the prophet said:
“I said: Joseph, my son, though art a prophet, – Comma! Comma! – that is my prayer.”
And they don’t read this! They just read half of it, not the complete statement! I hate everything, that is not correct! The time has come, I have to be serious, I have a divine call, a divide responsibility, and from the time William Branham was taken from the Earth, God used me to take the message right from the very day in April 1966. I returned and started the ministry ordained of God.
And also I have to say again, that William Branham was told:
”AS JOHN THE BAPTIST WILL SEND TO FORERUN THE FIRST COMING OF CHRIST YOU ARE SENT WITH A MESSAGE THAT WILL FORERUN THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST.”
And the man of God even said: “Not that I would forerun, but the message will forerun the second coming of Christ.”
And they changed it! They changed it and they said: “AS JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS SENT TO FORERUN THE FIRST COMING OF CHRIST, YOU ARE SENT TO FORERUN THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST.” That is a lie! And people are misled and don’t have part in what God is doing right now!
It was in April 1966 at the funeral when I returned to my hotel room. It spoke in my heart: “Now your time has come to go from city to city and from country to country to share the Word of God.
Why? Because on December the 3rd 1962 William Branham repeated precisely every word the Lord had spoken to me on April 2nd, 1962 and said: “Wait with the giving out of the food until you get the rest of the food.” And saying that the food is on the tapes which are being stored. And every message which was taped was sent to brother Frank in Germany. I grew under Brother Branham’s ministry in all of these years.
But then, after brother Branham was taken to be with the Lord, God used me. My feet have stepped on the ground of 163 nations since that time. 163 nations and now two or three shall follow by the grace of God.
Beloved brothers and sisters, I appreciate what God has done, but my heart is broken, because of the many statements. Some ride on the statements brother Branham made on the 1977, some about the 70 weeks, some about seven years, some about 3 1/2 years, some about Revelation 10. Everybody’s searching for something to mislead the people and referring to the prophet. Who gives you the right to mislead the people referring to the prophet? Why don't you refer to the Word of God? Everybody can refer to some statements. Why don't you refer to the Word of God? HIDING YOUR OWN INTERPRETATIONS BEHIND WHAT THE PROPHET SAID? SHAME ON YOU! COME BACK TO THE WORD OF GOD AND FORSAKE YOUR OWN INTERPRETATIONS!
The time has come, I have to be serious, the return of our Lord and Saviour is so near. Look around what happens on earth! And our Lord said: “When you see all these things come to pass that you know, the time is near, look up for your redemption is drawing near.”
Let me finish with a statement: THE TRUE VIRGINS, THE WISE VIRGINS, WILL NOT BELIEVE ANY INTERPRETATION! THE TRUE VIRGINS, THE BRIDE OF CHRIST, IS AS PURE AS THE WORD OF GOD IS! AS PURE AS A BRIDEGROOM SO PURE IS THE BRIDE OF JESUS CHRIST! NO INTERPRETATION! PURE HOLY WORD OF GOD THROUGH ALL ETERNITY!
God bless you and be with you in Jesus' holy name. Amen.
