Dear Friends, beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ, 

This is Brother Frank speaking to you from the International Mission Center in Krefeld, Germany. Our intention is to reach all nations with the true Word of God, with the message of the hour, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our main subject is the Plan of Salvation. And then, of course, we do speak about the Second Coming of Christ, as our Lord promised in John, chapter 14, “I go to prepare the place, then I will return, and I will take you to be where I am.” And then, of course, Matthew 24:14, “This Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached to all nations; then the end will be.” Taking many scriptures into consideration, we do have to ask, What is contained in the Plan of Salvation? Is it enough to know about God, about salvation? Or do we have to experience personally the grace of God, the forgiveness of our sins, the redemption of our soul, being born again by the Holy Spirit, being filled with the Holy Spirit, being led, being sealed by the Holy Spirit? 

Dear Friends, I have come to the conviction that it is absolutely necessary to have all these personal experiences with the Lord. Not only speaking about the Plan of Salvation, but receiving all things which are prepared for us through the salvation God gave unto us by Jesus Christ, our Lord. In 1 Peter, chapter 1, we read in verse 10 that the prophets of the Old Testament inquired and searched diligently about the things which God promised. And now we have to search the Holy Scriptures to come to the proper understanding of what God has prepared for us. 

And the most important thing is this: to know, to know right now, that noone can live eternally, unless we have received eternal life. And therefore the preaching of God’s Word becomes so serious, and we have to understand that God is not in a Christian religion or in a Christian church. 

God was only in Christ, reconciling the world with Himself. And according to Matthew, chapter 16, our Lord redeemed His Church, our Lord builds His Church. And then, if you go to 1 Corinthians, chapter 12, we see that those members who make up the Body of Christ are baptized into the Body of Christ, because as our Lord and Saviour had God’s life, eternal life within Himself, so we who are redeemed and have become sons and daughters of God, we have received that life of God. 

It says here in 1 Peter 1, from verse 18, that we are not redeemed by corruptible things, by silver or gold, but by the precious blood of the Lamb. And therefore we need to emphasize: life is in the blood, and Christ, our Lord and Saviour, shed His blood, gave His life, so that all who are purchased by the blood of Christ receive the same life that was in Christ. And then we understand that Christ is the Firstborn among many brethren. Friends, this is so precious to me. And in verse 20 it says in 1 Peter, “… who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world”. You and I were also foreordained before the foundation of the earth. God knew precisely before the beginning of time, who in the course of time would accept salvation, accept the Saviour and be saved and come to the obedience according to the Word and Plan of God.

Let us turn to Romans, the 8^th chapter, to see what God really meant to do with us and what He has done. Romans, chapter 8, verse 11, “But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, then” – you can read on – He will also raise our bodies and we shall live with the Lord in that changed body and meet Him in the Rapture when He returns to take us home. 

Then it says here furtheron in 2 Corinthians, in the 6^th chapter – 2 Corinthians, chapter 6, verse 14, “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers.” The Lord from the beginning of time has separated light from darkness, believers from unbelievers, those who trusted and believed God from those who disbelieved and disobeyed, right from the very beginning. And therefore the Apostle Paul goes into detail in this chapter, from verse 14 to 18. And then it says in verse 16, “… what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?” If we go especially to the two main religions in Christianity, Friends, how many millions of statues you have, statues of Mary, statues of saints? And it’s all still called “Christianity”! If I, Brother Frank, say today, that God has nothing to do with Christianity, that sounds very strange, but it is true. God has nothing to do with any religion on the face of the earth! There is only one personal manifestation and that is in Christ. And we were redeemed and have received eternal life by believing in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, our personal Saviour. 

And, Friends, if we go to Galatians, chapter 4, here we understand our placing as sons and daughters of God. Galatians, chapter 4, from verse 4, “But, when the fullness of the time had come, God sent His Son, born by a woman, made under the law … “ And now, please, listen carefully, “… to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” Being accepted by God, our heavenly Father, as sons, because the Son of God gave His life to redeem all the sons and daughters of God and place us back into our original position. Then in verse 6, “And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” Many cry, “Father” out of tradition. But here the Bible speaks about sons, and all the daughters of God are included. Millions upon millions pray, especially on every Sunday, “Our Father, who art in heaven …” But are they children, are they born again, have they received eternal life? Have they got a personal relationship with God? Friends, we have Christian traditions, but do we have the God-given reality? And we have to emphasize that God means what He says, and says what He means. 

Then, coming back to Romans, the 8^th chapter, and here in verse 22 to 23 we find the following thought expressed. Romans, chapter 8:22-23, “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, that is, the redemption of our body.” A very deep thought expressed according to the Plan of Salvation! First, we are redeemed and we are placed as sons and daughters of God. But the final manifestation of our salvation will be, when not only our soul is saved and changed, but our body, our body will be changed in a moment, at the twinkling of an eye, when our Lord returns to take us home. 

But here we have to have another look, “We who have received the first fruits of the Spirit …” You can read about the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians, chapter 5; you can read in many different places about the fruit of the Spirit. You can read 1 Corinthians, chapter 13, where the apostle speaks very deeply on the subject and says, if we had faith to move mountains, if we knew all the mysteries of God, and if we don’t have the love of God in our heart, what are we? What are we? Just nothing. So all the things God promised must become a reality in our lives, so that we wait for the Return of Christ as inwardly changed people, so the outside can be changed when our Lord returns. 

Then it goes on to say in Romans, chapter 8, in verse 15, “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” Here we are again at a very vital point. I am a father, because I have got two sons and two daughters. Noone else on earth can approach me with the title “Father”. I had a father whose name was Robert Frank. I could approach him as my father. I honoured my father. 

My beloved Friends, is God really your Father? Are you born again by the Holy Spirit? Are you begotten? Are you begotten? The Holy Scripture says, “Thou art my son. Today have I begotten thee” (Psalms 2, verse 7). And when the time was fulfilled, the Word of promise was given to Mary, and she believed, and the Holy Spirit overshadowed her. And the Son of God was not only begotten, He was also born. In the same way – beloved Brothers and Sisters, we are not begotten, we are not born again because of good music, of nice singing or charismatic atmospheres – no, and once again, no! 

We are begotten, we are born again, after we received the Word of God as a seed into our soul and believe in Jesus Christ, our personal Saviour, accepting Him into our heart, believing in Him as our personal Saviour. So it becomes true. Not a traditon, “Our Father, who art in heaven …”, and everybody walk in their own ways in all churches, in all Christianity. And, Beloved, we live in this world, we know, what is going on in our own city, in our country, and everybody knows now what is going on all over the earth. And everybody knows we now have 350 denominations, Protestant denominations in the World Council of Churches, who created the World Council of Churches. You must go to 1948, to Amsterdam to know who created the World Council of Churches. You must go to the Second Vatican Council, which took place from 1962 to 1965. By the way, during that time I preached in Rome. I met “Mister Pentecost”, Mister DuPlessis personally. And, Friends, who created all these things? God? Surely not. And our Lord Jesus Christ? Surely not. 

And we have to understand, that we are now in the time of utter deception. And all humanity in all religions is being deceived and misled under the impression that God somewhere is in it. God is only in His Word! And only in His promises! And if there is no promise in God’s Word, there is no fulfilment. And first and again last we have to acknowledge what our Lord said in John, chapter 3, “Ye must be born again. Otherwise you cannot see the Kingdom of God. Because what is born of flesh is flesh …” You can put religion on the flesh from top to bottom and decorate yourself with scriptures from top to bottom – the inside must be changed first. 

And therefore, coming back to 2 Corinthians, chapter 6: How can believer and unbeliever walk together? How can a born-again person and one of this world walk together? We have to follow Jesus Christ in obedience to His Word. And, Friends, I do believe that the Return of our Lord and Saviour is very, very near. And all the original teachings of the Word of God must be believed by every child of God upon the face of the whole earth! If you cannot believe every Word of God, Friends, I just have to tell you that you need your personal experience with the Lord, that you come to an end with your own ways, with your own beliefs, and surrender to the Lord and receive the seed of His Word into your heart and then the Holy Spirit comes upon you, creating that new life in you, and then you are begotten, you are born of God. 

Friends, I wish to see you in Glory. And therefore I have to be honest with the preaching, I have to share the true Word of God with all the people upon the face of the earth in all the many countries, because the Lord said that this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached to all nations and then the end will be. 

If we can be of any service to you, just let us know. God bless you and be with you in Jesus’ holy Name. Amen.
