Ježíš Kristus včera, dnes a naveky tentýž jest. Žid.13.8

Jazyk:




At the first coming of Christ, the teachers had their own explanations, interpretations and expectations. At that time 109 prophecies and predictions from the Old Testament were fulfilled without the religious leaders even noticing it. They were fully occupied with their own programs and services, which appeared to be very biblical. Will history repeat itself in our time?

On the Day of Pentecost the promise of the Father (Acts 1: 4) was fulfilled by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Since then all the promises given to the New Testament Church are being realised. For two thousand years, the great hope and expectation of the believers has been the promised return of Jesus Christ (Jn. 14: 1-3), as the great event expected by all true believers. Every time when God is about to fulfil His promises, the supernatural happens on Earth.

In connection with the Kingdom of God, Abraham stands out. God spoke to him in various ways and revealed Himself to him. We can find this recorded in a number of chapters, beginning with Gen. 12. The Lord gave him the promise that his descendants, who were oppressed in a strange land, would be delivered after four hundred years. When the time was fulfilled, God appeared to Moses in a supernatural fire, which was in a natural bush (Ex. 3: 2), and commissioned him with the deliverance of His people. The supernatural always takes place where God makes history, which means here, with us in the natural realm.

“And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice; for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee.” (Ex. 4: 1). As a confirmation, he was given two signs: The Lord commanded him to throw his staff on the ground, and it became a serpent. When he took the serpent by its tail, it became a staff again in his hand. Then the Lord told him to put his hand into his bosom and pull it back out: It became white with leprosy. After he put his hand back into his bosom, it came out clear, as the Lord had said. For the critics this was a suspicious matter, in the direction of sorcery. God tries the thoughts and the attitudes of the people. Blessed are they, who are not offended by what God commands and does. The Lord said to Moses, “... if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.” (Ex. 4: 8).

All Scripture is given by the inspiration of God to teach us, so the man of God would be perfect (2 Tim. 3: 14-17). God is not the “I was”, but for ever the “I AM”. HE makes history even in our time. Therefore we can testify of what actually happened. When I mention William Branham, then I only do it in the same way in which I would refer to Peter and Paul, whose ministry was also connected to God’s Plan of Salvation. I do not belong to those who reject him, nor to the ones who glorify him. I compare what God did with the Scripture and in doing so cannot be contradicted by anyone. God is always right, and whosoever believes Him does not listen to arguments, as they only have one objective: to discredit what God has done and to justify one’s own views. True children of God are only interested in what God does according to His Word, because they partake in it.

During the ministry of our Lord, the religious leaders said that He was of the devil and possessed by an evil spirit. At the same time they were singing their psalms with complete devotion, worshipping God. This seems to be repeated in our time. I can testify as someone who has personal knowledge and experience of what God has done in this age, as Peter, John and the other apostles did in their time.

It is commonly known that heavenly messengers came down to Earth right at the beginning of the New Testament Covenant. An Angel came to Zacharias (Lk. 1: 8-20), an Angel came to Mary (Lk. 1: 26-38). When the birth of the Son of God happened, the heavenly choir descended, light illuminated the whole area and an Angel made the announcement (Lk. 2: 8-15). Angels were serving Jesus (Mt. 4: 11), Angels testified of His resurrection (Mt. 28: 1-10, Mk. 16: 1-8; Lk. 24: 1-12; Jn. 20: 1-18). Angels appeared after the Lord ascended to heaven, announcing His return (Acts 1: 10-11). The Old and the New Testament are packed with reports of Angels, who are ministering spirits , but they were only sent for the benefit of those who would inherit Salvation (Heb. 1: 14). All the others do not believe it anyhow, and God has no need to be mocked because of that. All who are ordained to eternal life in our time will believe the following report.

Late in the evening on 7th May, 1946, a heavenly messenger came to a small place called Greens Mill, USA, to visit the preacher William Branham, bringing him a Divine commission. William Branham was sitting in a room with just enough light to read his Bible, when suddenly a supernatural light filled the room, as the heavenly messenger was coming towards him. Extremely frightened, he rose from his seat. The heavenly messenger said, “Fear not. I am sent from the Presence of Almighty God to tell you that your misunderstood ways have been to indicate that God has sent you to take a gift of Divine healing to the peoples of the world. If you will be sincere and can get the people to believe you, nothing shall stand before your prayer, not even cancer …” The angel further said, “As Moses was given two signs you are given two signs …”:

The first sign was, that he should take the right hand of the person wanting to be prayed for into his left hand. The illness, for instance a tumour, cancer etc., would appear on the backside of his hand, visible for the patient. The moment the person was healed, the illness would suddenly disappear from his hand. The Angel emphasised, “Not even cancer can stand before your prayer.” And it was so. Most of the healings which took place were cancer cases. The heavenly messenger further explained, “If they cannot believe the first sign, they will believe the second …” The second one was the gift of discernment and revelation, by which the details in the life of the person he was to pray for would be revealed and shown to him in a vision. Through this the sick received a strong faith at that very moment and the assurance that the Lord Himself was present and experienced their healing. Among them were many cancer cases which the doctors had given up.

This mighty revival began in the same way as the ministry of our Lord: The blind could see, the lame could walk, the deaf could hear and the dumb could speak. The Angel explained to him what happened in Jn. 1 and 4, stating that the prophetic gift was the “sign of the Messiah ”, as it had been in the days of the Son of man. He spoke about Philip and Nathanael, about Andrew and Peter, about the woman of Samaria at Jacob’s well. When first meeting them, the Lord Jesus told each one of them something of their lives that He couldn’t have known: names, circumstances and relations. Several million people witnessed this infallible ministry in the second part of this past century, through which God made a new beginning in our time. Hundreds of original taped messages from the meetings with healing services are still bearing witness, so that all can convince themselves of the truthfulness of this report and also of the extraordinary ministry which took place. Thus God Himself brought us the last revival in a supernatural way, and we were returned to biblical times.

Everything happened as it did in the ministry of Jesus. Not the healing of the body was the main concern, the emphasis was on the Salvation of the soul. Healing of the body is good, being raised from the dead is even better, but the ones who were healed and resurrected at some time or another became sick again and eventually died anyway. But what God does on the inside of man will last throughout eternity. The external confirmation leads the hearts to open up to the moving of the Spirit of God and to receive the Word.

Jesus began His sermon with the words, “ The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand” (Mk. 1: 15). HE ministered and taught (Acts. 1: 1). That is how it was in the Salvation and healing revival, which God began after World War II, as it was a ministry directly connected to the Plan of Salvation. The time had now been fulfilled again and the supernatural took place in such abundance as never before on earth, but of course after the scriptural pattern. The main purpose is a complete correction of all the errors, a change of direction, the exodus from all unscriptural teachings as well as practices and a final restoration to the Divine original. The Church was visited by God Himself, as He commissioned a humble man to bring us the message of the hour. The revealed and living Word once again became the original seed. The supernatural confirmation was God’s doing, as it had been in the ministry of the Son of man. Whoever disregards this and does not believe now, would not have believed then.
