Internet Summary July 2005Internet Summary July 2005 Beloved, brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet you the precious name of our Lord Jesus from the international mission center in Krefeld, Germany. We just had great meetings, again, at this last weekend. About 600 were attending the services, 14 were baptized in the apostolic way. We just praise God for calling his children from various countries, and cultures from all over Europe, from all the continents. We had, I think over 20 nations represented, and we are just acknowledging, that it is God of heaven who is working on Earth to complete what he started 2000 years ago. We believe in the imminent return of Christ. We believe in the restoration of all things. We believe, that our Lord remains in heaven according to Acts 3,21, until the times of restoration and restitution of all things have come. We believe that God sent his prophet according to Mal.4, second part, who should turn hearts of God's children back to the fathers. That all things must be brought back to the very beginning. Jesus Christ is alfa and omega, he is the first and the last and the new testament church must be at the end as she were at the very beginning. Beloved, our Lord confirmed the promise of the Old Testament in Mat.17,11 and also in Luke 9.12, and therefore we acknowledge to live in the prophetic age in the generation when all things predicted and promised are being fulfilled. With Israel, with the nations, with the last empire, as promised and predicted in the prophet Daniel 2 and 7. We believe that all things are now shaping up in the new world order, and that all religions are coming together and that every christian denomination, which came out from Rome is now returning to Rome again, because of the various doctrines they do have in common. Beloved for us it is so important to know, that this is harvest time the bringing in of precious souls into the kingdom of God. In Mat. 9, the last two verses, we read: "Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest." There must be a call of the Lord to be in the field to harvest, to bring in whatever he sowed and to gather those who are ordained to eternal life. An then, at chapter 13, is being fulfilled "All that were ordained to eternal life believed." If you do not believe, ok, I cannot change it, but if you believe the promised Word of God for this day, if you expect God to be with you, you must receive what he promised, and you must have part in what God is doing right now. Otherwise, you can be compared with Luke 19, from verse 41, when the Lord wept over Jerusalem, just heartbroken, because He came to His own and His own received Him not. Beloved, we are not to play religion, and we must make sure that we do not walk in our own ways right to the end. We must make sure, that we believe as scripture says. We must make sure that we do not believe to our own interpretations or the interpretations of others. Make sure that you do believe the original Word of God. I believe, with all my heart, that William Branham, God's servant and prophet, was used in an outstanding way with his uncompared unique ministry to draw our attention to the Word of God. I do not think, that he was sent to start a new religion and I do not believe that his many statements about certain points are meant the take us away from the Word and start our own directions within the message. There are so many interpretations about seven thunders, about the seventh seal and about different subjects. And why are there so many interpretations? Simply because people lost the respect towards the Word of God. They do not go back to the scripture, not a single time. Every interpretation is taken from the Scriptures, from one verse only, not from two, or three, from one verse only an then they are interpreted in different ways. And this is what Satan did right at the very beginning, when the humanity had not yet really started. The same Satan did at the beginning of the new testament church. Right in apostolic days the apostle Paul speaks about brothers who were teaching different doctrines, which were no more in agreement with the original. God sent Gospel with the original plan of salvation. And beloved brothers and especially ministers, who are engaged in the international travelings going from country to country, we have to ask you: What are you preaching, what are teaching? Upon what Scripture do you base what you are preaching and what you are teaching? And let me say; If you are moving under the umbrella to make a statement: "This is Malachi 4, this is Malachi 4, this is Malachi 4...", then I have to warn you. Malachi 4 only states that God will send a prophet before the great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. Malachi 4 does not justify a single doctrine about thunders, not a single one, it is only taken as an umbrella. So the ministry of William Branham who was the true prophet a word prophet and a word prophet takes us back to the Scripture. He cannot go beyond the Scripture. If anybody on Earth claims that the revelations William Branham received are beyond and outside the Scriptures I tell you right now: you are the most deceived person living on the face of the earth. The Word of God remains forever and if you go to revelation 22, there you find the warning, that should anyone add to the words of the prophecy of this book. Are you adding? If you are not adding show me in the Scriptures where the things are that you are teaching and preaching ! This is the time, this is God's time but it is also your time beloved, if you do not speak according to this Word, it is because no light is in you. I believe that now before the return of Christ everything must be restored into the divine order. And the new testament church, and especially to be more precise, the bride church must be called out from all confusion but not being taken into new confusions, but to become Word bride, just as the Bridegroom was the manifested Word. The God of heaven bless you and be with you and may the bride church be ready at the return of Christ. The Bridegroom and that return is imminent, Maranatha the Lord cometh, God bless you in Jesus holy name. Amen. Ewald Frank
