Beloved Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen, Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This is Brother Frank speaking to you from the International Mission Center in Krefeld, Germany. We are so grateful for this opportunity to share the Word of God from this station, to reach out to as many as possible and to share with them the precious Word of God. To me heaven and earth shall pass away, but God’s Word remains forever. And as the Apostle Paul was stating a number of times, the Word he preached was not the word of a man, but the Word of God. He emphasized it especially in Galatians, chapter 1, where from verse 6 – 9 he was speaking about the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, and making the very serious statement, that all who preach another gospel are under a curse. They can speak about blessings, they can have charismatic meetings, they can heal the sick, and they will come to the Lord according to God’s Word, and say, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your Name? Have we not done great things?” And the Lord will have a good look and then say, “Depart from Me, you workers of iniquity! I never knew you!” This is very serious.

Today every denomination preaches a gospel. Every church, every charismatic personality, every evangelist: all preach a gospel. My question is: who stands the Word test? Whose preaching of the Gospel is 100 % in agreement with what the Apostle Paul was preaching. Whose baptismal service is in agreement 100 % with how the apostles baptised?

We must come back to the Bible pattern. And the Apostle Paul writes to the Corinthians, “I laid the foundation with you, and no other foundation can be laid except the one that is laid already, and that is Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.” He is the Foundation. He is the Chief Corner Stone. He is Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last. He is the Lamb of God. He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. He is Son of God, Son of Man, Son of Abraham, Son of David. He is Mediator. He is Advocate. He is the Lamb of God. He is all in all. In some part of the Plan of Salvation we see our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

But when it comes to the teaching ministry, to the preachig of the original Gospel of Jesus Christ, then the Apostle Paul writes also to the Corinthians, “The Word from the Cross is the power of God unto salvation.” The Word of God connected to what took place for us at the Cross of Calvary – It’s not enough to wear a cross or even to wear a crucifix. (By the way: The crucifix was made in the 8^th century, before the first crusade of the seven crusades took place and all people had to kiss the crucifix to accept the general, so-called catholic religion. If not, they were murdered.) So, we are not wearing crucifixies or even crosses. We believe in Jesus Christ, the One who was crucified for us. And we believe according Galatians 2 that we were crucified with Him, and that we can say with the Apostle Peter and also with the Apostle Paul, “I am crucified with Christ: now I live no more, but Christ lives in me.”

But, coming back to Galatians, chapter 1, where the apostle emphasizes that there is no other gospel, just one true Gospel of Jesus Christ, connected with forgiveness, salvation, reconciliation, bringing us back to God again. If we preach the Gospel, we share what God did for us through Jesus Christ, our Lord. And we don’t put into it a single interpretation, we just preach it the way it was preached. But then, in verse 10 in Galatians 1, the apostle writes like this, “For do I now seek the favour of men, or of God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.”

Let’s be honest: in every denomination the pastor, the preacher must please the congregation; he must stay in the teachings of that denomination. If he goes overboard of those teachings in a certain denomination, he will be asked to report, and then his time might have come. In every church – and this is no criticism, this is reality – in every church, catholic church, Orthodox church, Lutheran church, Episcopalian church, Anglican church, in every church there are rules and regulations and you must remain in them. Otherwise it takes place like in the times of Reformation, that someone would rise up and protest the things which are going on in that church and denomination. So, Friends, it is very, very serious.

But a man of God is not trained in a seminar of a denomination. A man of God has a call of God, as the Apostle Paul is further stating from verse 11, “And I must make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not after man.” – not after man, not after a seminar experience, no, “The gospel I am preaching, I do because of a divine commission: I saw the Lord, I saw the light, I heard His voice, and He called me to go to the nations to preach His Word.” You can read about his calling in the Book of Acts three times: chapter 9, chapter 22, chapter 26.

But coming back to the next verse, verse 12, in Galatians 1, “For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” I say Amen to this. This man of God was spending a long time at the feet of Gamaliel. And sometimes I was wondering, how the apostle must have felt that he, during the ministry of our Lord, was sitting, looking up to a teacher Gamaliel and just listening to what Gamaliel was saying. And missing the time of God’s visitation, missing the ministry of John the Baptist, missing the ministry of Jesus Christ, and sitting there, looking to Gamaliel, what he would have to say. My God in Heaven! How many times will this man have said, have thought, “I was a fool. I was sitting at the feet of a man.” So now, now from his own experience, he could then say, “The gospel I preach is not after man. I did not sit at the feet of a man to hear about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I heard the voice of the Lord! I saw the light. I fell down, and the Lord called me. And be the revelation of Jesus Christ I received the commission and also the Gospel that I was to preach.”

And now we are coming back again in comparison with all the denominations. Please, Beloved, forgive me, but understand: I must show you the difference between a God-called man – And the Apostle Paul is the best example for this. – and then to show you how every church, every denomination have their creeds, their doctrines, their dogmas. But I don’t believe a single creed. I don’t believe the Nicean creed, I don’t believe the Chalcedonian creed. I don’t believe a single dogma. Why should I? I have not sat down at the feet of a bishop or cardinal or teacher. I was saved in 1948. I was baptised in the Holy Spirit in 1949. I never went to a Bible school, never to a seminar. But the hand of the Lord was upon me to preach the original Gospel of Jesus Christ. And then, of course, when the Lord directly called me with an audible voice – You might not believe this, but with gladness I face you on the Day of Judgment.

Beloved Friends, you might realize the seriousness of the preaching, of the sharing of the Word of God with you. I cannot take it lightly. I am not a charismatic personality. Next year I will be 80. But I am in the Kingdom of God for a very long time, and I know what I am speaking about, especially from April 2^nd, 1962, when I, Brother Frank, here in the city of Krefeld, at Luisenstr. 160, just before sunrise heard the voice, the all-penetrating, the all-commanding voice of the Lord in the German language. That is as true as all the words in this Book. “My servant, your time for this city will soon be over. I will send you to other cities to preach My Word.” I was looking towards the window: The voice came from upright, from the right. With one blow I was on the carpet from the impact of that voice. So, Beloved, because of this direct calling and commission I must go from city to city, from continent to continent and I am not bragging, but God was so good to me. He gave the possibility to start a local church right from 1959. From December ‘59 God so led that we could have prayer meetings and to start a church which stands behind this ministry in all these years.

But the second part of my commission was, “My servant, store in food, for a great famine is coming. Then thou shalt stand amidst the people to give out the food.” All of you, of this younger generation, don’t remember what happened in 1960, 1961: the Cuba crisis, the Berlin crisis. The wall in Berlin was built in August 1961. US-troups and Russian troups were facing each other in Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate. We didn’t know what would happen next. And I was under the impression that a tragedy would happen to our nation similar to 1946 at the end of World War II. But no tragedy came. But we had put many groceries in store to survive. And then, of course, because no famine came, there came a pressure upon me. I said, “Dear Lord, you said a famine will come. We have put natural groceries in store. What now?” I said, “I cannot preach any more. Take my life, because …”, explaining to the Lord.

And then God put it in my heart to take a trip to see Brother Branham whom I knew since 1955, had met at several occasions. And then on December 3^rd, 1962, which was again a Monday, Brother Branham spoke to me and apparently he saw a vision. He repeated the words in the English language which the Lord had spoken to me in the German language, and said, “Brother Frank, you misunderstood what the Lord said. You thought there will come a natural famine and you have put in natural groceries in store.” And then he repeated and explained that God will send a famine to hear His Words and the food I am to store in is the promised Word of God for this day – the whole Council of God, everything that’s written and promised in the Word of God. And then Brother Branham said, “Brother Frank, wait with the giving out of the food untill you get the rest of the food.”

And when Brother Branham was taken to be with the Lord, I knew that now especially I had to take the message of the hour, the true Word of God, sharing all the Bible doctrines with all the believers on the face of the earth. Not bragging, but I look back to these many years, and these feet have stepped on the soil of 155 countries, sharing the whole Council of God, preaching the original Gospel of Jesus Christ, baptising as the Apostle Peter, as the Apostle Paul into the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is the name in which God has revealed Himself as our Father in Heaven, in His only begotten Son on earth, and in us by the Holy Spirit: God above us, God with us, God in us. Three manifestations of God Almighty to bring us back into our original position as sons and daughters of God.

And now all true believers will hear what the Spirit has to say unto the churches. For this, beloved Brothers and Sisters, you must read Revelation, chapter 2 and 3. There are seven messages to the seven churches at that time in Asia, but every Word of God is addressed to all churches at all times. And therefore we must read these messages and see what the Lord complaint about, how He said, “You have tried those who thought and claimed to be apostles and you found them to be liars.” There you find, how God said, “In your midst you have a Jezebel. You have the doctrines of Balaam.” How God put His hand upon the things which were not right. And every time you have the same statement, “He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches. And he who overcometh all these things shall inherit all things.”

I want you to be with the overcomers. I want you to be in the Bride. I want you to be in the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, in the true baptism. I want you to be in the total restoration of all things before the Return of Christ. And I say again: I don’t wish to waste you time. But please, don’t waste my time. And finally: Don’t waste God’s precious time at the end of the time of grace. When the last call is going forth, this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached to all nations, and then the end shall be. So, by the grace of God we recognize the day, the message, the signs of the time. We see Israel, we see the Arabic world, we see the nations, we see Bible prophecies fulfilled all around us. And our Lord said, “When you see all these things come to pass, when you see them fulfilled, look up, for your redemption is drawing near.”

May the grace of God, may the peace of God, may the blessings of the Almighty rest upon you in Jesus’ holy Name. And should I not see you on earth, I will see you in Glory. Please write us, and we shall be glad to send you any literature to help on in the way with the Lord. God bless you, in Jesus’ holy Name. Amen.
