Dear Friends, 

this is Brother Frank speaking to you from the Mission Center in Krefeld, Germany. I greet you in the precious Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. We call this worldwide ministry “Apostolic-Prophetic Ministry”, for we do include the whole counsel of God, taking the Old and the New Testament and showing forth God’s plan of salvation. In recent times I do speak much about the return of Christ, about the fulfilment of Bible prophecies, in general about the last time in which we now live and have arrived, as we do see Bible prophecies coming to pass before our eyes, predicted in the Old and the New Testament. 

In Acts, chapter 20, we read in verses 27 and 28, “For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.” This is our aim, not only to speak in part, but to share the whole counsel of God, all of God’s Word, all of God’s mysteries, right to the mystery of God in Christ. In verse 28 it says, “Take heed, therefore, unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood.” This is addressed to preachers, to shepherds, to pastors, to those who feed the flock, who share the bread of life, who do share the Word of God. Because we don’t live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth from the mouth of God. Here it says, “For I have not shunned to declare unto you the whole counsel of God.” Just as it was at the beginning, God spoke through the prophets, and whatever they foretold in the Name of the Lord under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit came to pass. In fact, the New Testament began with the fulfilment of Bible prophecies. John the Baptist was a promised prophet, Jesus Christ was the promised Redeemer. On the day of Pentecost the Apostle Peter said, “This is that which God promised through the Prophet Joel, ‘In the last days I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh.’“ Actually throughout the course of the New Testament what God promised in the Old is coming to fulfilment. 

In Galatians, chapter 1, a very important subject is spoken of, the most important to us: the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We just read that God has purchased His own Church with His own Blood, whereunto the overseers were placed by the Holy Ghost. Beloved we have to take things seriously. We are not talking about a church, because there are many, many churches. At present we do have 342 Christian churches as denominations joined in the World Council of Churches. But if you read the Holy Scriptures carefully, there is only one true church: the Church of the Living God, the Church of Jesus Christ, purchased with the precious Blood of the Lamb. The Blood was shed on the cross of Calvary to redeem us, to bring forgiveness, reconciliation, so that we have fellowship with God again. Therefore the Apostle Paul emphasised the preaching of the true Gospel – no change in any way, remaining with the original teachings, the original practices of the New Testament Church, as they were from the beginning. In Galatians, chapter 1, he therefore says, even if an angel from heaven would come, preaching another Gospel, the curse would be upon him. Now, I am not critical, I am just honest, the whole world is born into a Christendom which is changed. Nothing remained as it was in the beginning. Every teaching was changed: the teaching about God, about Baptism, about the Lord’s Supper. Actually, if you know church history and compare it with the Holy Scriptures, you come to the conclusion that not one single doctrine remained as it was in the beginning, but all were changed. Man-made interpretations were given to Holy Scriptures. Here he then states, “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.” We have to know whether God called us to the ministry or whether a church called us, whether we represent church doctrines – and everybody knows that every pastor in every denomination has to represent and stand for the teachings of that certain church. Everybody knows about it. If you are a Catholic priest, you have to defend the teachings of the Catholic Church. If you an Orthodox priest, you have to defend the teachings of the Orthodox Church. If you are a priest in the Church of England, you have to stick with your 39 paragraphs of your belief. Otherwise you cannot be a priest of that church. If you belong to a Calvinistic church, you have to believe in total predestination. If you are a Lutheran pastor, then of course you have to stand for the teachings of the Lutheran church. If you are a Baptist, you have to. If you are a Pentecostal, you have to. I mean, it just goes with it. But, Beloved, again not being critical but just honest, I do have a direct call from the Lord to the ministry. And I came through some of these churches: through Lutheran, through Baptist, through Pentecostal. But there was something in my heart searching for the Truth, searching God’s Word with one desire: to come to the very beginning, to the origin of things in the New Testament Church. Therefore I can say, having received a direct call to the ministry, what the Apostle Paul could in Galatians, chapter 1, verse 11. But I make known to you, Brethren, that the Gospel which was preached by men, is not after man, is not after man! It must be after Christ. It’s the Gospel of God, the good news of God, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but the world over we do have gospels according to man’s interpretations. And therefore we have to emphasize that only what is written in God’s Word is the Truth and valid for ever. Anything that is not in God’s Word is not valid at all. 

Now, coming quickly to the subject of the Godhead. The Apostle Paul states in Ephesians, chapter 3, verse 3 and 4, “… how that by revelation He made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words, by which, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge about the mystery of Christ which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.” It all comes by divine revelation. Unless we are called as the apostles were and placed into the service of God receiving the same divine revelation by the Holy Spirit, we are going to walk on in our own ways. 

Today I have got two books with me. This, as you can see, is the Bible. And this is the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church. Now I must be permitted by anyone on earth to compare. We have to and actually I don’t need to ask for permission, because God does not ask anyone whether He may or whether He may not. We have to understand that the Church of Jesus Christ which was purchased by the precious blood shed on the cross of Calvary, the blood of the new covenant, the Bride Church of Christ which is predestined to be at the Marriage Supper to be taken away before the judgements come upon the earth. We are waiting for what Paul has written in 1 Corinthians 15, verse 51, “We shall not all fall asleep, but we shall all be changed.” We are the first generation that can say with assurance that this will take place within the near future. But now coming to the point: I am just preparing a manuscript about the Bible subjects most important, and here I do have the written manuscript with me. Just a few questions, if I may be permitted. It says here, “Why is the word ‘trinity’ not written a single time in the Bible?” And may I just ask here, Why is the term of the Jesus-only-doctrine not written a single time in the Bible? We continue, Why is the Word ‘triune God’ not found a single time in the Holy Scriptures? Why does the Bible not once speak about the existence of three individual persons? Why is the thought about God the Father not once expressed in the Old Testament? Why is the term ‘God the Son’ not found a single time in the New Testament, but rather ‘the Son of God’? Maybe one or two more: Why is there not a single mention of the expression ‘God the Holy Spirit’, but rather ‘the Spirit of God’ or ‘the Holy Spirit’? Because the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. We could continue.

Going to this book called “Catechism of the Catholic Church”, here we find stated “The Apostolic Creed”, so-called, on the right side “The Nicene Creed”. It says here, “… the only Son of God eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God” and so forth. Now I am taking this book. Can you show me in the pages of this book, where it says that God as Father in eternity has begotten a son? Where? The Son was promised from the garden of Eden, from Genesis 3:15 right through Psalms 2, verse 7; 2 Samuel 7:14; Isaiah 7:14 right to Micah 5, even telling that He would be born in Bethlehem, and showing forth that He was born in Bethlehem and that the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary and she was told, “That which is being born of you is of the Holy Ghost and will be called ‘Son of God’.” So we have to adjust things. We must put things right. There is no way around it, and therefore I have to tell you the truth, that Christianity has deviated from the Word of God. Now, please, listen to some of the statements made by the church fathers. It says here on page 65 in paragraph 246 in this book, “The Latin tradition of the Creed confesses that the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son.” Now I take this book, this book, the Bible, and I shall read to you that as the Son proceeded from the Father, so the Holy Spirit likewise proceedeth from the Father. Here we do have it: John 15, verse 26, “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of Truth, who proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of me.” So please would you help me to decide what I should believe: what this book says, or what the Bible says. Beloved, it goes on and on, for pages and pages, and some of the statements are very enlightening and also very frightening, I must say, because it’s philosophy. They have taken things out of heathenism to express God. I am not here to explain the Godhead to you, and you could not explain it, and I cannot understand and you cannot. Only by divine revelation we can enter into the holiest of holies and follow God who is Spirit, who eternally dwelled in a light where no one has access to, like we read in 1 Timothy 1:17 and in 1 Timothy 6:16 and other scriptures. But in the beginning, and this is so very important, beloved Brothers and Sisters and ministering Brethren, it’s is so very important to read God’s Word carefully. If the Scripture speaks about eternity, it means eternity; if it speaks about time, it means time; if it speaks about ‘in the beginning’, then we all know that eternity had no beginning. Eternity has always been and shall always be. Time had a beginning and time will end. So ‘in the beginning’ was the Word; so ‘in the beginning’ God came forth out of His eternal fullness of Spirit and light and life into a visible form of appearance. That was ‘the logos’ Who ‘in the beginning’ was with God, Whom we know as ‘the great I AM’, Who walked in the garden of Eden, Who spoke to Abraham, Who spoke face to face to Moses, Who revealed Himself to all the prophets in the Old Testament. And He whom we know as ‘the great I AM’, as ‘the Lord’, as Yahweh of the Old Testament, the Eternal, in Himself existing One, He became man, He came to us to redeem us, because He made us in His own image and we have fallen from grace and from eternal life into sin and death in the body of flesh. Our Lord had to come into a body of flesh and blood to pay the price, to redeem us from this body of death and reconciled us with God. Beloved, to me this is so very important. Because one is right and one is wrong. You can never say, “Well, maybe it’s this, and maybe it’s that.” No, there is no ‘maybe’ with God. God’s Word is Yeah and Amen, and all that people said about God, about anything that the Bible refers to you can forget, and the sooner you forget it the better it is. Please return to the Word of God and don’t mix it with the teachings of the so-called ‘apostolic fathers’. Please tell me: should I go back to what Athanasius, to what Augustin, to what Tertullian, to what Justinian, to what Hieronymus, to what everybody said in the fourth, fifth or sixth century or what they even say today? Or should you and I go back to what Peter, James, John, Paul said? Should we not all go back to what God has said right from the beginning? I believe this is God’s time, because the return of Christ is so near and we must be taken out of all confusion, from the Babylonian captivity! We must break forth! This is the time of restoration, a time of deliverance, a time of visitation from God. And this ministry is not only called “apostolic-prophetic”, it is proven to be apostolic-prophetic! I would not dare to say anything, unless God said it in the Old or New Testament, unless God said it through the prophets or through the apostles. 

Beloved, let us summarise what we try to say today: The return of our beloved Lord and Saviour as Bridegroom to take the Bride-Church home is very near. There must be a time of calling out, a time of correction, a time of preparation, and this time is now! Please make your decision right now to follow Jesus Christ all the way, to return to His Word. Make His Word right, not a gospel after man, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Gospel of God! May the blessings of the Almighty rest upon you is my prayer, in Jesus’ holy Name. Amen.
