Beloved friends, brothers and sisters in Christ,
This is Brother Frank speaking to you from the International Mission Center in Krefeld – Germany. It’s always a privilege to address God’s people in many countries and share God’s promised Word for this day. We do live in very special times. The time of grace is about to end. The Return of our dear LORD is very near. Bible prophecies are being fulfilled in every way – be it in politics, in religion, be it in Israel or with the church. We have to take God’s prophetic Scripture and therefore we do call this ministry “Apostolic Prophetic Ministry”. We have to take you back to the days of the prophets, to the times of the apostles – back to the Word of God, back to Jesus Christ our LORD and Saviour.
In Titus the first chapter we read, the apostle Paul stating: “I’m a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the faith of God’s elect.”
Brothers and sisters, in general we do address everybody throughout the nations and I’m looking back to over 40 years in the international ministry preaching the wonderful gospel of the LORD Jesus Christ to the nations of the earth - in many crusades in almost every denomination on every continent in over 130 countries. But then we come to know that God has a promised Word for His Own. We understand the first call goes out that we might receive Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour. Even as our LORD that He has the say-so in our lives. But then there is another call to those who believe, because many are called and few are elect. And if you read Revelation chapter 2 and 3 the message always to the whole church but the promise always is directed towards those who believe. And they who believe must first have an ear to hear what the Spirit says unto the churches. And God always uses a mouthpiece; he uses prophets and apostles and teachers, evangelists and pastors which He placed into the New Testament Church. And before the Return of our LORD everything has to be restored to the very beginning. The same ministries, the same supernatural moving of the Holy Spirit, the same teachings, the same practise in everything must be established in the Church of the living God. A true man of God does not represent a denomination, He doesn’t speak for himself or in his own name but he speaks in the Name of the LORD. Today we understand that we’re in the end time. There are many, many promises and also predictions. Our LORD spoke about the end time in Matthew 24, in Mark 13, in Luke 17 and in Luke 21. And there we find the statements He made: “When you see all these things come to pass, then ye know the time is near, the time is at hand – look up for your redemption is drawing near.”
And then we do come to Matthew 25 where the Scripture speaks about the cry, the midnight cry: “Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him.” And then we go to verse 10 where it says: “And they that were ready went in to the marriage and the door was closed.” If we go back to the beginning of the New Testament, there was an introduction made to our LORD and Saviour - John the Baptist, a promised prophet. And then the LORD had His ministry and finally after Calvary, after the blood was shed and God was in Christ reconciling the world with Himself, the New Testament Church was established by a direct act of God thru the power of the Holy Spirit. And then the first sermon was preached and those who believed the message of the hour were baptised in the Name of the LORD Jesus Christ and altogether 3000 on the first day of Pentecost. Beloved brothers and sisters, I have to tell you and this is and should be a good news for you. That now before the second coming of Christ God chose a man by the name of William Branham. I can not hide this. If I would God should judge me on that day. I have to tell you that on June 11th 1933 the LORD God visited this humble man in Jeffersonville/Indiana – USA. After he had his first evangelistic campaign several hundreds were to be baptised. And when he was about to baptise the 17th person he prayed: “O God as I baptise in water will you baptise with the Holy Spirit and fire.”
At that moment a supernatural light came down visible before the eyes of over 4000 people. And from this supernatural light the voice spoke to William Branham: “As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ you are send with a message that will forerun the second coming of Christ.”
Beloved friends, this is not a story! This is not a fable! This is true. It’s reality. Then in May 1946 again a supernatural experience came to Brother Branham. Just late in the evening and there he was told: “As Moses was given two signs two signs are given unto you. If they will not believe the first sign they will have to believe the second sign.” And God used Brother Branham for the breakthrough of this last great healing and salvation revival. You would have never heard about all the world famous evangelists if God would not have used this one man to bring the breakthrough. His ministry was supernaturally confirmed. He had the gift of prophecy because he was a prophet. And there is actually a very big difference between the gift of prophecy and a prophet. A prophet, a real true prophet, a prophet connected to the plan of salvation, a prophet that was promised to be on earth as Elijah in his day and as John the Baptist in his day. The LORD promised in Malachi 4 that a prophet Elijah would be on earth just before the time of grace ends -before the day of salvation will be no more and the day of judgement will be introduced. Brothers, this promise and prophecy was fulfilled. Our LORD confirmed it in Matthew 17:11, in Mark chapter 9 verse 12. And in Acts chapter 3 from verse 19 we are told that Jesus Christ our LORD remains in heaven until the times of restitution of all things would be.
Beloved, in Acts chapter 1 the disciples were asking our LORD: “Are you restoring the kingdom of Israel at this time?” And if we look now to Israel we just have to say; after 2000 years the Jews returned from 143 countries. The Jews are God’s chosen people, God’s covenant people and therefore God gave them a natural land as they are a natural people. But parallel to the gathering of Israel in their promised land, the calling out of all true children of God from all nations and denominations from all races the LORD God of heaven gives the last call: 2 Corinthians chapter 6 from verse 14, Revelation chapter 18, verse 4: “Ye my people, come out, don’t touch any unclean thing.”
Beloved friends, I could come with a wonderful program to you. I could have music left and right, I could present charismatic to you but that is not my calling. My calling is as I heard the voice of the LORD with my own ears in the German language. Of this direct call I must assure you. You don’t need to believe it but it’s true anyway. The LORD spoke to me in the German language. And every word was emphasized and spoken precisely with great commanding authority: “My servant your time for this city will soon be over, I will send you to other cities to preach my Word.” Beloved friends, what I just stated is as true as every verse in this Bible. And because I was affiliated with Brother Branham, knew him for ten years having been an eyewitness and ear witness of what God has done in our generation. I looked when people who were born blind received their sight. I looked when people eaten up by cancer were healed in one moment. But beloved, even since Brother Branham was taken to be with the LORD this message was taken to the ends of the earth. Even in the years of the cold war I’ve taken the end time message to all the communistic countries including China and the Soviet Union. Brothers and sisters, this is God’s time for God’s people to let you know: we can not walk in our own ways right to the end. We have to recognize God’s promised Word for this day. And we must check what we believe and practise with the Holy Scriptures. Everybody knows that God’s Word is being interpreted so many different ways. At the present time we do have 347 Christian denominations joined in the World Council of Churches. But we have only one God, one eternal life, one Bible, one salvation - just always one. And therefore we have to ask you in the Name of the LORD: Return to God! Return to the Bible teachings and Bible practises -whether it’s Godhead or baptism or the Lord’s Supper. Just to quickly touch it. The Bible does only speak about one God - never of two or three individual persons existing from all eternity. The Bible declares the one God in fact the one God declares Himself in the Bible. Not what church fathers like for instance Tertullian who came from Tunisia, he introduced the idea that God exists in three different persons from all eternity. He said: The Father is God, the Son is God and the Holy Ghost is God. And then finally in the different councils they formed what they call the apostolic creed. And in the year 431 in the Ephesus Council they declared Mary to be the mother of God. But the Holy Scripture not one time speaks about a mother of God but as the scripture says: “Today Christ the LORD is born in the city of David.” Beloved, even all the terms like God and LORD and Father and Son and Holy Spirit – all these terms have their place. And you can not exchange LORD for God or God for LORD or Father for Son or Son for Father. You have to put things where they should be. Like for instance our LORD is Son of God, Son of Man, Son of David, Son of Abraham but you must leave every scripture where it is. Coming to Matthew 28, there the Scripture says in the original as also confirmed by those who critically searched the history that the original words were like this: “Go ye into all the world, teaching all nations baptising them into my Name.” And only in the time when they formed a trinity they were searching for a trinity formula also for baptism. You can read it in the different church writings, they have to confess it themselves. So we must understand that everything that comes from God to us will come by divine revelation - even when the Name of the LORD is concerned. So if you take Matthew 28 the way we have it today in our Bibles: “Go and teach all nations baptising them into the Name of Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Before I can baptise into the Name I must know the Name. And there is no other Name given under heaven by which we must be saved. And therefore all in apostolic days were baptised in the Name of the LORD Jesus Christ. Search the Holy Scriptures! If there is one place, I’m asking only for one. Not for two! Not for three! I’m asking for one place. If there ever, ever, ever any person any prophet any apostle used the triune formula for the prayer of the sick, for baptism or for anything at all. If you find it, come to me and I will put on my back: False prophet, and walk before and after the public. Beloved friends, to me this is very serious. And I believe the LORD brings us back to His Word, back to the original teachings. We can not walk on in church teachings and practises. And by the way, in the reformation teachings and practises from the Roman church were taken into the Lutheran church, then they were taken into Methodist church into the Baptist church into the Pentecostal church. They were handed over and over from generation to generation from denomination to denomination but now the time has come when the true Word of God the whole counsel of God is being preached and all these things are set right and put into their scriptural places.
Beloved, we have to end our preaching for today. The apostle Paul was addressing the elect according to the faith. Beloved, I trust that you are not only called but also chosen; chosen from before the foundation of the world as written in Ephesians chapter 1, verse 3. Chosen to hear what the Spirit says unto the churches to be part with the overcomers and to meet the bridegroom when He returns. Let us just say, God bless you and be with you all the days until we meet our LORD and see Him face to face. May His grace and His peace rest upon you and may the Holy Spirit guide you into all the truth. For only the truth shall make you free. Maranatha – our LORD is coming. Be ready to meet Him. I beg you in Jesus’ Holy Name. Amen.
