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

This is Brother Frank speaking to you from the International Mission Center in Krefeld, Germany. I am grateful to Almighty God for the many opportunities to share the precious Word with the inhabitants of the earth. Today I am sharing God’s Word with you.

Our subject remains the same: the return of Jesus Christ, the fulfilments of Bible prophecies in our time, the calling out, the separation and preparation of those who wish to be ready, when the Bridegroom returns. Then we understand that only those who are part of the Bride Church will listen to what the Bridegroom actually has to say. And that takes us directly to Revelation, chapter 2 and 3, “He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches”, and the promise is always given to the overcomers. 

Beloved in the Lord, we need to know God personally. We need to have our personal relationship with Him. We all have to have our conversion, the new birth, the leading of the Holy Spirit. We have to be brought into obedience to God’s Word in God’s will. The time has come to realise what God has promised for this day and what He is doing according to His Word in our time. 

Just recently I heard a sermon preached by William Branham “God’s Word calls for total separation from unbelief”. Unbelief is terrible; it is an insult to God, because God is the only one who is true, whose Word shall remain forever. And therefore let us believe every Word of God, let us refrain from all interpretations, which come by man’s knowledge, and believe the inspired Word of God. The emphasis was the calling of Abraham, the separation from his family, from everything, even from country, and to move into the promised land. Genesis, chapter 13, verse 14 and 15, “And the Lord said unto Abraham, after Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art nothward, and southward, and eastward, and westward. For all the land which thou seest, I haven given to thee, and to thy seed forever.” First the calling, then the separation, then the look into the promised land, east and west, south and north – the whole land with everything that is therein.

Beloved, all promises of God are Yea and Amen, but we must make sure that we have received that call, that the Word of God has directly spoken to us. You know, every sermon from the first one that was preached on the day of Pentecost is a divine call to those who hear the Word of God, to come to the Lord Jesus Christ, to be saved, to be born again, to be placed as sons and daughters of God right into the Kingdom of God. Then there is a time of dedication, a time of separation. I read two Scriptures for this purpose: Leviticus 21, verse 21, “No man who has a blemish of the seed of Aaron, the priest, shall come near to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he has a blemish; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.” If you go to Ephesians, chapter 5, there you can read in verse 27, that our Lord and Saviour will have a Bride Church without spot or wrinkle, without blemish. And we, who share the bread of life with you, we should be without blemish. And we can only be without blemish, if we are under the blood – that God sees us through the blood of the New Covenant, through the blood of the Lamb that was shed for us on the cross of Calvary. And Jesus Christ as Highpriest went with His own blood into the heavenly sanctuary, and the blood speaks for us today. 

Beloved, don’t let the enemy depress you! Believe with all your hearts that God was in Christ, reconciling the whole world including you with Himself, not putting anything to our account, but everything was placed upon the Lamb of God. The Lamb of God was without blemish, and therefore the Lamb of God could be the sacrifice without blemish for all those who are purchased by the blood that they should also be without blemish. And then we partake of the bread of life, and Jesus Christ, our Lord says, “Man shall not live by bread alone but by every Word that comes from the mouth of God.”

The next Scripture is Numbers, the 6^th chapter, verse 1 and 2, especially, “And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall sparate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazirite, to separate themselves unto the Lord …” – a vow of separation, someone to become a Nazirite, somebody dedicated and consecrated to the Lord, not moving in every direction the wind blows, but just been separated from the world, from unbelief, from disobedience, dedicated unto the Lord! Beloved, this cannot be done by your strength, not by my strength, but by the grace of God. As we put our will into the will of God and not only pray, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy will be done, Thy Kingdom come …”, but that we are part of that Kingdom of God. That we have part in what God is presently doing. Not walking in darkness and disobedience but in the light, being obedient to the Word of God. 

Beloved, I must say this the world over that the return of Jesus Christ, as promised in John, chapter 14, is drawing very near. The signs of the end time don’t need to be interpreted, they are clearly seen in their fulfilment. Beloved, we understand, that Bible prophecy cannot and must not be interpreted, but must be watched as it comes to fulfilment. But only if the Word of God is revealed to us by the same Holy Spirit, that was upon the prophets and the apostles, the Word shines forth as a light, and then we do see which way we are moving. 

Here we read, “Speak to the children of Israel and say unto them …” And then comes the promise, the separation time, the vow of a Nazirite, being separated from the world. Israel was separated from all the nations. Abraham was separated from his kinfolks, from everything that he knew, and was sent by a promise into the land the God of heaven had given unto him and his seed forever. So, Beloved, the same applies for us: if we believe, as Abraham believed after the Lord met with him, after the Lord gave him the promise – you cannot believe unless the Lord has spoken to you personally, that the Word of God is addressed to you. And then it becomes a divine revelation to you personally. 

In the New Testament we understand that those whom the Lord had called were separated from the religions of that day. And in every revival there was a separation, a separation, a separation. In the time of reformation there was a separation from the Roman church, from the Greek-orthodox church, a separation from religion, and the Word that was preached – first justification – was believed and experienced. Then under John Wesley after Martin Luther another revival, again a calling out, a separation from unbelief, from disobedience. In the next revival a little closer to the original Word of God, to the apostolic teachings and practices, and again a calling-out time, a separation time, a dedication time had come. And especially precisely hundred years ago, when the outpouring of the Holy Spirit took place worldwide, again a separation and a dedication. People consecrated their lifes to the Lord and were living in obedience to the Word as far as it was revealed unto them. 

Then, I have to say this, after Worldwar II William Branham was called. And he was a man sent from God. I knew him personally for ten years. The only prophet, a man of God, I have seen with my own eyes! I have seen Bible days. I have seen Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever. And the difference between Brother Branham and all the many hundreds of evangelists, who then somewhere and somewhen stepped on the scene, was this: when William Branham prayed, God confirmed the Word right in the presence of thousands of people. I looked in those meetings upon the things which happened: the blind received their sight on the platform, the deaf could hear on the platform – the miracles took place in the eyes of thousands of people. Not just blessing a person, saying, the Lord will do it – it happened right then and there, as it did in the ministry of Jesus Christ, our Lord! When He spoke to the blind, that they should see, they could see. When He spoke to the lepers, “Be clean!”, they were clean. When He spoke to the storm, the storm was quiet. 

Beloved, I have seen it with my own eyes. And then I came to know that this man had a special commission from the Lord. He was someone promised in the Old Testament that should come like Elijah in his day, just before the great and dreadful day of the Lord would be. And, Beloved, when I came to know the promised Word for this day, I knew that this is the space of time just before the return of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, that a message of God’s Word with all the promises contained in this book, with all the apostolic teachings, with all the apostolic practices – that all had to be restored to where things were at the very, very beginning. 

Beloved, we are now living at the end of the endtime and I want you to know what happened in the days of the apostles. Acts, chapter 13, says that there were in the church of Antioch certain prophets and teachers. In verse 2 we read, “As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate Me Barnabas and Saul for the work unto which I have called them.” First a separation of those men of God who were to preach and to teach, so that others could also be separated from religion, from tradition, from unbelief and come to the Lord. I read it to you, these men who were separated unto the Lord, they were preaching. Finally the result of their preaching was that those who believed were also separated from those who did not believe. Acts, chapter 19, verse 9, “But when some were hardened and believed not, but spoke evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one called Tyrannus.” 

The apostles were preaching and then the moment came when some believed and others did not, when some received and others did not. So they did not continue discussing, discussing, discussing. The moment came, when the separation line was drawn, light from darkness was separated, unbelief from belief was separated, life from death was separated, and those who believed were separated from unbelief, from disobedience and dedicated their life to the Lord. Beloved, we all have different backgrounds, we all were born into a church or religion, but now the last call is going forth, “Behold, the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet Him. Prepare, prepare, for the shout goes forth, the midnight cry goes forth. And those who hear the wake-up call right now, they prepare for the soon coming of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Believe it: as John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ, the true message of God, the message of restoration, the message of separation, the message of dedication is now being shared with all of God’s people all over the earth.

May this be your day, the day the Lord has made for you! Be separated from all unbelief and take God’s Word into your heart. Believe, as the Scripture says, and God will reveal Himself to you. I know it, I know it, because the Word of God is true with all the promises. 

May the grace of God be with you in Jesus’ holy name. Amen.
