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

This is Brother Frank speaking to you from the International Mission Center in Krefeld, Germany. By God’s grace we are known all over the earth through the ministry the Lord has granted unto us to share His precious Word with many, many around the earth. It was my privilege to speak and to teach, not only to evangelize, but also to include the teaching part and the prophetic part into my ministry. 

There are three essential parts in sharing the Word of God: it’s the evangelistic part, the teaching part and also the prophetic part of the Scripture. In the first we introduce Christ to the people, showing that He as the Lamb of God died for us, shed His blood, reconciled us with God, forgave all our sins and gave us new life, eternal life. 

And I am just very glad to make the statement: The same life that was in Christ, our Redeemer, is in all the redeemed. We are born again, we are sons and daughters of God, we are begotten by the same Holy Spirit. In John, chapter 3, our Lord said, “That which is born of flesh is flesh, but that which is born by the Spirit, is Spirit.”  So, our Lord made also the statement, “Ye must be born again; otherwise you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” 

And therefore we share the precious Word of God with the people. We show them the narrow gate and the way that leads to Glory. And, as I usually say, God’s way to us is our way to God. And there is only one true and full manifestation of God on earth, and that is in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. He could say, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” 

Therefore we preach Christ, Christ crucified, Christ who died for us and rose on the third day, conquered death and hell and made the promise that He will return, as we are told in Acts, chapter 1, verse 9-11, “The same Jesus that was taken from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you have seen Him going up.” And according to Psalms 47 our Lord God went up to heaven with a shout and with a trumpet. In the same way, according to 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 16, He will return: He will return with a shout and with the trumpet and with the voice of the archangel. So, Beloved, our main subject is the promised Return of our Lord. 

At the same time we must also emphasize the same Bible teachings, which originate from the days of the apostles. We must go back to Acts, chapter 2, verse 42, “And they remained in the doctrines of the apostles, in the breaking of bread, in fellowship and in prayer.” So the New Testament Church cannot separate herself from the Word of God – not from the teachings of the apostles, because Jesus Christ is the foundation laid by the apostles and prophets, and no other foundation can be laid. 

I have to say this also again: There are many, many church-denominations. They believe their traditions, their own teachings. And every church-denomination has a beginning, has somewhen started, and then they go back to the founder of that church-denomination. But we must go back to the original teachings! I cannot go back to any of the church fathers: I cannot go back to Irenaeus, or to Athanasius, or to Tertullian; I cannot even go back to Martin Luther or Calvin or Zwingli; I cannot go back to Wesley, or John Smith or many of the others. I must go back to the beginning! I must come back to where it all started. 

And now, although God has used, let’s say like Martin Luther, he was a man of God in his day. It was a beginning, a breakthrough after the 1,000 years of the Dark Ages. God made a new beginning. But in every revival that followed God went on closer and closer to the Word of God, to the Bible teachings. The revival of John Wesley was deeper than the one of Martin Luther. The revival of John Smith and all the others who followed was also deeper again and closer and closer to the Word of God. 

Then, about 100 years ago a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit took place. Just before the world had its First World War, God had a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit. But again people did not hear what God had to say. All church-denominations went on in their own ways. Then we had World War II. But after World War II the Lord sent a messenger by the name of William Branham, who received a direct call on May 7^th, 1946. And he was told by a divine commission that the Word of God would be preached by him, bringing us back to the Bible. 

And, dear Friends, I have to take the proclamation of God’s Word seriously. I cannot please your ears. I must please God. And as we are so very close to the Second Coming of Christ, let me refer to you what the Apostle Paul was writing to Timothy in 2 Timothy, chapter 4, in verse 2, “Preach the Word, be instant in season or out of season. Reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.” Not only evangelism, but also the apostolic teachings, the true doctrines, must be preached and shared with God’s people at this time. And then in verse 8 in the same chapter we read, “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give unto me at that day; but not only to me, but to all, to all who love his appearing.” Beloved Brothers and Sisters, do you love His appearing? 

I am very sorry, I am very sorry, but I have to tell you the truth again. My heart is burdened. I don’t know, how long we can have these messages. Maybe in a short while, maybe this will be the last one, I don’t know. But I must share with you these very scriptures which speak about the Second Coming of Christ, about the last message, about the calling-out of God’s people, about our separation from all that is not in agreement with the Word of God. Because only if we are in the Word of God, we are in the will of God. And only in the will of God we can be sanctified by the grace of God, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Beloved, let’s make it clear: The Return of Christ is very, very near. Our Lord said, “I go to prepare the place; then I will return and will take you to be where I am.” In Titus, chapter 2, verse 13, we read, “… looking, looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our saviour Jesus Christ.” “… looking for that appearing” – for His Return promised in John, chapter 14, the hope of every child of God. And then in Hebrews, chapter 9, in the last verse, we read about His Return. Hebrews, chapter 9, verse 28, “So Christ was once offered to bear our sins, the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him He shall appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” The first time He appeared, He came, the Word was made flesh, because the original sin in the Garden of Eden had happened in the body of flesh and blood. The Redeemer had to come into a body of flesh and blood in order to redeem us. We are in this body of flesh and blood, so He had to come, and redeemed us, shed His blood. But the second time He will appear for those who are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. The second time He will take His Bride to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. 

We just have to cry out very loudly, “Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him.” Only those who are part of the Bride of Christ will hear the voice of the Bridegroom. They will take heed to what the Spirit has to say unto the churches. And I say this again: There are many churches, but there is only one Church of Christ: the Church of the Firstborn, the Body of Christ, baptised into one body by the Holy Spirit according to 1 Corinthians, the 12^th chapter. And in the Church of the Living God there are apostles, prophets, teachers; there is the five-fold ministry. In the Church of the Living God there are the nine spiritual gifts; there is the fruit of the Holy Spirit. We are being restored to where the Church has been at the very beginning. 

This is the time of calling out, the time of separation, the time of restoration, the time of preparation. And therefore the Holy Scripture says, our Lord Himself, speaking in Matthew 25, verse 10, “They that were ready went in to the marriage; and the door was closed.” Please, don’t wait until the door is closed. Many will knock at the door, when it is going to be too late. Now the Lord knocks at our door according to Revelation, chapter 3. In the last church age message we are told that He stands before our door, He knocks, He wants you to open.

Beloved, let me summarize what we try to say here today and I have tried to share with you through all these messages we had throughout many, many years. And I believe with all my heart that those who are ordained to eternal life, they will come back to the Lord. They will believe as the Scripture says. They will dedicate and consecrate their lives to the Lord. And they will prepare for the Second Coming of Christ. 

In 1 Peter, in the 1^st chapter, we read in verse 7, “… that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.” Our faith must be tried like gold is tried in the fire. But if our faith is according to the Word of God, let it be tried. It must be tried. What about, if your faith is being tried today by the Word of God? Do you believe Ephesians, chapter 4, “One faith, one Lord, one baptism”? 

Today some sprinkle, some pour, some baptise, some baptise forward, some baptise backwards, some baptise three times, saying, “I baptise you in the name of the Father, and in the name of the son …” They baptise three times, not knowing that in Matthew 28:19 our Lord did not mention the name. He just gave the Great Commission, “Go into all the world, teach all nations, baptising them into the name (singular) …” “Father” is a title: I am a father, because I have children. I am a son, because I have a father. But that is not my name. What is the name of Father, Son and Holy Ghost, into which the apostles were to baptise the believers? You can go to Acts, chapter 2, verse 38: There the name is mentioned, the New Testament covenant name, the name above every name: Every person since the day of Pentecost was baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. You go to Acts, chapter 8, verse 16; Acts, chapter 10, verse 48; Acts, chapter 19, verse 5+6; Romans 3. And then you go to Romans 6, verse 3. 

Beloved, believe me, believe God: This is God’s time for God’s people to return to the Word of God, to forsake our own teachings, our own ways. We cannot make it to heaven like this. And therefore I must tell you, even if this should be the last sermon beamed out through this station: Beloved, you can switch in. We can be reached by Internet, by online, you can have our homepage, and you will join us in every first Sunday of a month. And we share the Word of God with all of God’s people all over the earth. 

So, Beloved, may this be your time, realizing that the Second Coming of Christ is near, recognizing the day and the message, and taking advantage of the opportunity to come back to the Word of God, to have part in what God is doing right now. I am not a charismatic person, I don’t preach a prosperity gospel. I preach the original Gospel of Jesus Christ: God was in Christ, reconciling the world with Himself. Please, you don’t belong to a church-denomination; you belong to Christ. He purchased you; you are His own. His Return is near. Soon the trumpet will sound and the Lord will return, and the dead in Christ will rise first, and we, who are alive, shall be changed, and together we shall be taken up to be with the Lord. I wish to greet you on that blessed morning.

May the grace of God be with you all the days of your life. In Jesus’ holy name I say good-bye until we meet in the presence of the Lord at His appearing, when He shall returen, when He comes back to take us home. Stay blessed in the Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
