We can not speak of ouselves but rather of the grace the Lord has granted unto us by making us partakers of the work he started himself and that he is fulfilling on earth and more particularly in South Africa.

Already in brother William Branham's time, this country had the privilege to receive this man sent of God and lived in that a great visitation of the Lord. Yet, most of the witnesses of those great times of blessings, still alive today were not able to receive the grace to link or connect what God did in that time and what he is busy doing today.

Those who recognised the voice of God in that time, will surely recognise it again today; for it is about the same God who started a work in that time and who must fulfill it today. The purpose of the message, which is the restoration of all things must be reached now in the entire world.

With the visits of men of God who had the Word of God in their mouths, we have seen the difference between the interpretation of the Word of God and the Word as it came forth from the mouth of God; the difference between the work of God and the work of men; the difference between the light and the darkness; the difference between what the Holy Ghost says to the churches and what the organisation says.

We have experienced the return to the faith of our fathers the apostles; the faith which was once delivered unto the saints (Jude 3); the faith of the same price like the one of Peter, Paul, ...; the faith according to the scriptures.

We received the grace to go back to the original foundation, which was laid in the first age without laying an other one; a new one " According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is JESUS CHRIST" (1 Cor. 3: 10-11).

We have gone back to the true biblical edification, which is the foundation of the apostles and prophets and Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone (Eph. 2:20-22). Edification to be a House of God in spirit; the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth (1 Tim. 3:15).

We have found grace to have this instrument for the publication of the word of God and nothing more. His word as retored in this generation through the powerful ministry of brother William Branham. A return to God and his word which is in the Bible, for the preparation of the Return of the Lord Jesus-Christ.

Brother William M. Branham's ministry

In publishing this page, our goal is to magnify the Name of the Lord Jesus-Christ and to make known unto you The Mighty works of God in relation to His plan of salvation, which extends to our days.

Prophets and apostles will be mentioned only to show how the divine action is acting through their ministries as we find it described in the Bible (The old and new Testament).

The Lord always sends his prophets and messengers to bring back the people to the original word: “And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place". (2 Chron.36:15)

God uses the ministry of a prophet to make known to his children the promises of their Today. Abraham, Moses, Elijah, John the Baptist and many other prophets were given such comissions for their Times. God is bound to his promises; and he has promised: " Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." (Amos 3:7)

According to Numbers 12:6, the true prophets have access to realms inaccessible to others and can penetrate them: “And he said, hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I The Lord will make myself Known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream."

Throughout all the ages, the word of the Lord concerning His plan of redemption has reached the main prophets. Before the flood, God revealed his word to his prophet: “But Noah found grace in the eyes of The Lord" . (Gen 6: 8). "And God said unto Noah, ..." "Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, ..." "And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: ..." (Gen 6:13,14,15). Noah's activities did look quite strange in the eyes of the people. He was misunderstood, moqued, ridiculed, but he acted according to the authority of the word, which was made known to him. God had decided to put an end to every flesh because the blessed seed of Seth did mingle with the seed of Cain. It grieved God that He had made man on the earth and the judgement fell.

The greatest mixture of all times is taking place now and has reached its culmination at the World Council of Churches. But just before the door is shut and the judgement falls, God sent a mighty prophet with the final call : " come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." (Rev. 18:4)

God had a prophet to whom he gave directly a commission and a message before the judgement falls upon the earth in that time. "Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he." (Gen.6:22). Jesus told his disciples: “And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of The Son of Man." (Luke 17:26). Many Christians compare the wickedness of that generation to our generation. But to have a complete picture, one must also consider the promises made to the believers. People doubted about Noah's commission, because he was the only one to whom the word and the will of God where revealed.

Abraham was the prophet of God in the time of Sodom and Gomorrah's destruction. Jesus referring to that time said: “Like wise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drunk, bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the days when the Son of Man is revealed." (Luke 17:28,29,30). Once more, we can put in parallel that time with ours.

Many compare the sins of Sodom with the sins of our time, but fail to see the vital importance of the prophetic ministry. The elect of that time were not in Sodom and were not partaking to the perversity, which was found there. They were with Abraham, the true prophet of God and received the last supernatural sign before the destruction of Sodom. According to Gen. 18, The Lord visited Abraham and confirmed the promise. It is the same for the royal seed of Abraham in this generation, like it was the case for the elect of the time of the first coming of Christ. The last supernatural sign, which is the gift of discernment, was shown to Abraham, to the Jews of the time of Christ and repeated once more at the end time of the dispensation of the gentiles.

Sarah was in the tent listening to what the lord was telling Abraham, and she started laughing within herself, so then the thoughts of her heart were revealed. "And the Lord said to Abraham, wherefore did Sarah laugh..." (Gen. 18:13). This is how the gift of discernment was manifested in the time of Abraham. By the ministry of Christ, we can understand that the same Lord has done the same things in this last generation. In John 1:42; when Andrew brought his brother to Jesus; in the same chapter when Philip brings Nathanael to Christ (John 1:49); the life of the Samaritan women was revealed by Jesus at the well (John4:19-29). The true seed of God is not upset by the gift of discernment. They have never called the Lord "belzebul"; they rather recognised their saviour in his prophetic ministry.

Now in this last generation, we are confronted to the same prophetic gift of discernment, which was reported in the ministry of brother William Branham. Many people where saved, tens of thousands were healed of all kinds of diseases: the blinds were seeing, the lame were walking, the speech and hearing given back to the deafs and dumps, the dead resurrected and even the miracles of creation were happening. John 14:12 is literally fulfilled: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that beleiveth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do...”

By divine revelation he could tell the people the secrets of their hearts; where they came from and even their needs of the time-(Heb.4:12). Not a single time the Almighty God failed to justify His Word and his prophet.

Elijah the prophet, who was placed under the direct authority of the Almighty God, took twelve stones, representing the twelve tribes of Israel to rebuild the altar of the Lord. "And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy Word." (1 Kings18:36)

Now is the evening time for the church, the promise of Zach. 14:7 must be fulfilled before midnight. "We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:" (2 Peter 1:19). By the revelation of the word of prophecy, the light has shined; God by the prophetic ministry of brother William Branham has brought back all his children to the faith of the apostolic fathers, to the doctrine of the twelve apostles. This coincides with what Malachi says: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord" (Mal.4:5). This is the promise for our time. The Lord himself confirms it in Marc 9:12 "...Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things." This is the promise for our time. Joel 2:25- "And I will restore to you the years that the Locust hath eaten...” The message of this hour is the message of complete restoration.

This ministry, which was the trigger of almost all charismatic and healing movements, was admired by many people, even here in South Africa where brother William Branham came more than once (Durban, Kimberley, Johannesburg) but was unfortunately misunderstood and criticised concerning the purpose for which the Lord had sent him.

But the grace of God had wanted that a remnant hears, understands, sees and take this precious message and this messenger as a gift of the Lord to this generation for the preparation of His Return (Rev.19:7-10).

To all those who receive this sent one of the Lord, is reserved a reward: “He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward...". (Matth.10: 41).

Brother Ewald Frank's ministry

We need now a clear orientation about the things to come. If we intend going forward, it is therefore of no profit to look back. From all what God has done through the unprecedented ministry of brother William Branham, we have today the possibility to discern the future action of the Holy Ghost. In this message of the end time, which is the revealed word of God for this time is found all what we need to know in our walk; but it is only under the leadership of the Holy Ghost that will be shown unto us the true connection in the ways of God in conformity with the spiritual move.

After the departure of the resurrected Lord, John heard distinctly this call: “…come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.” (Rev. 4:1).

Today we must make the distinction between the voice of a man and the voice of God, which comes to give us the revelation by the holy Ghost of the things to come but also to give us the ability to put order in the present things. “Howbeit when he, the spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” (John 16:13).

We do not want to speak only of the messenger day and night without having understood what the spirit is saying to the churches (Rev. 2 and 3). There is a difference between the intellectual understanding of the letter and the understanding of the entire message, which is quickened for us by the spirit.

In the kingdom of God, when a period of time ends, an other one starts.

Joshua received a task related to the time to come, but founded upon the divine promise and upon the ground of Moses's prophetic message. (Jos.1: 1-9).

Elisha called upon the God of Elijah, and got hold of the promise, which was destined, to him. (1 Kings 19:16); thus taking Elijah's mantle, he acted in faith. Where Elijah stopped, is where started Elisha's calling. (2 Kings 2:12-14).

When John the Baptist finished his task, the Lord Jesus started his (Matt. 3:11-17). After that each word and each promise related to Him (Jesus-Christ) were fulfilled, a great task was given to the church. There is always a continuity in the Kingdom of God.

Where the ministry of brother William Branham was interrupted must start what constitutes the follow on. This means an action of the spirit piercing until the end, which leads us in the depths of the word and bring us to what was the church in the beginning. The powerful ministry of our beloved brother William Branham served to bring back the light on the candlestick, the truths lost throughout the ages and store them as a food to be distributed. Of him we can speak using Amos 3:7. But the same prophet five chapters further announce a famine to come; a spiritual famine, then only the stored food can be distributed with wisdom, prudence and faithfulness. (Amos 8:11)

Matt. 24:45-47 has thus for us who are awaiting the return of the master a peculiar importance because it is in relation with the distribution of the stored food. This scripture is of actual reality. The three last years of the ministry of our beloved brother William Branham served peculiarly to the storage of the food in view of a future distribution. Until the time of his death, the Lord who commanded him to store the food never told him to distribute it.

These divine instructions are the base of the present action of the spirit in our preparation. The 1st April 1962, The Lord commanded brother William Branham to cancel his trip overseas (Switzerland) for the food storage to start. It is with the opening of the seals that the food started being stored for it was about the revelation of the mysteries of the word, the hidden manna.

The 2nd April 1962, at dawn, the same order of the food storage was given to our beloved brother Ewald Frank, brother William Branham will confirm this in December 1962 in front of two witnesses still alive today (brother Banks Wood and brother Sothman). He told brother Ewald Frank exactly : “the food that you have to store is the revealed Word by God for this time.”

This teaching ministry that the Lord gave to the bride of Jesus Christ has a direct connection with the prophetic ministry of brother William Branham so that all the other ministries working for the edifying and preparation of the bride may have all the exact measures of the word which must bring the church to the full restoration. God has made him ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season. (Matt. 24:45). This ministry, which has grown under the influence of brother William Branham's ministry will commit to other faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. (2 Tim. 2:2).

This is an undisputable continuation of what God started in our generation by the ministry of brother William Branham and which will end in a full and complete restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ before His Return. (Acts 3:21). This is a ministry that The Lord is using so that all the nations may receive this gospel of the kingdom for a witness and then shall the end come (Matt. 24:14 and Rev.14:6). Since the departure of brother William Branham, this Word has been carried in more than 150 countries by this ministry. We are saying with gratitude to The Lord; "according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise". (1 King 8:56). All are being fulfilled. Matt. 24:45 is a reality today.

This is the hour of preparation. The Lord in his sovereignty calls, establishes who he wants and equips his men for success in their tasks. The Lord as a trademark of this ministry mentioned Prudence and Faithfulness so that all the elect can see the precise and perfect fulfilment of this scripture.

As the scripture exhorts: “prove all things...” (1 Thess.5: 21) ; we present to you all the publications of this man of God, so that in a spirit of prayer you may find all what the Lord is doing in accordance with His Word for the fulfilment of the work that he started himself.
