Dear friends, beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, this is Brother Frank speaking to you from the Mission Center in Krefeld - Germany. 

I trust that the LORD has blessed you and kept you. And I also believe He is going to speak to you by His Holy and precious Word today. We are living very near to the Return of Christ. We do see Bible prophecies fulfilled and we are reminded on the Words of our LORD: “When you see all these things come to pass, then you know that the time is near, even at the door” - Matthew 24. In the same chapter in verse 14 we read: “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached as a witness to all nations and then the end will be”. So this is precisely what we are doing now. We are preaching the everlasting gospel, the unchanged Word of God to all the nations of the world. What was a dream 100 years ago is a reality today. We can reach by radio, by television in many different ways in large city and nation wide crusades – we can reach this generation for Christ. And I like to read from I Peter chapter 1 about our precious salvation. The most important thing is to know that God has done something with us and in us. It’s not enough to have a head knowledge about repentance, about conversion, about the new birth, about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It’s not enough to have these terminologies. We must have the experience. We must know Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour. We must know of a day in our life when we were saved, when we received the assurance by the Holy Spirit that our sins were forgiven. And that God had accepted us in Christ as the scripture says in II Corinthians chapter 5: “God was in Christ reconciling the world with Himself”. If you go to church history books, even in a book like this with over 800 pages – you find statements of church fathers where you can only shake your head. You can find the term: Only who the church has as mother can have God as Father”. You read many different things. And if you look into church history – in the first centuries, let’s say in the first two hundred years after Christ the gospel was still preached by Polycarp, by Ireneaus, they were still men who knew the apostolic days. But then, if you go into the next century, it was more of a memory, more of a hear-say. People did not have a call to the ministry, they were trying to explain what they found in the handwritten manuscripts. But praise be to God, we have His Word with us up to this day. But hundreds of years past without all the things which were later introduced into the church of Rome which later on was called the state church. I made a list of all the things which were not in the original Christianity. Nobody knew anything about a crucifix or about a rosary or about a procession or about places that you had to go to to worship or to receive a miracle. No! Our LORD said very clearly in John chapter 4:23 and 24: “Woman, I tell you the day will come when you will not worship on the holy mountain or in the city but they that worship God must worship Him in Spirit and in truth”. No idol, nothing! No purgatory! No celibacy! Nothing was, no prayer for the dead, no addressing of Mary, no calling about any saints. The Bible only speaks about living saints. Not about dead saints! And if somebody has the argument that Christ also died – then we have to say: But He also rose from the dead as He conquered death and hell. And He said: “I was dead but I’m alive forevermore”. And therefore we preach Christ crucified and we preach Him in the power of His resurrection. We don’t preach a dead Christ – we preach Christ who died but lives forever. And He lives in my heart and in the heart of all the children of God who can say like the apostle Paul in Galatians chapter 2, verse 20: “Now I live no more but Christ lives in me”. 

Beloved, centuries past without all the introducing of the church doctrines! And the apostle Paul already made the warning in II Corinthians chapter 11 that if another Christ is preached, another gospel is being proclaimed, another Spirit at work that people sit still and listen.

Beloved, I’m not sitting still. I’m not listening to all the church teachings. I’m only here to listen to what the Spirit says unto the churches. And the Holy Spirit does not speak by a church council. HE does not speak by creeds. The Holy Spirit speaks by the inspired Word of God only. And therefore we read in I Peter: “For as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things like silver and gold from your vain manner of life received by tradition from our fathers”. So, people were living in vain because they were living by the traditions of the fathers. But the time has come when all of the true children of God would live by every Word of God. And the time has come for God’s people to return to God and to His Word. If you go to Mark chapter 7 the LORD even says in verse 7 that our prayers, our worship all is in vain if we still hold the traditions of men. And if you look into the Roman church and then of course into all the daughter churches – traditions upon traditions, interpretations, explanations but not the original Word of God. Therefore beloved, I have to tell you the truth in the name of the LORD. And the truth is the Word of God forever. And our LORD says: “Ye shall know the truth”. Not only know by head but by divine revelation you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. So, to just mention it -there were times past without all the introducing of the man made teachings, right to the infallibility of popes in the year 1870. You just imagine – in the year 440 after Christ, Leo I was the first pope in Rome. And from that time, although the Holy Scripture never speaks about a pope being in the church of Christ - Christ is the head – no one else is the head. The Bible does not speak about a successor of Peter. It doesn’t say that Peter was ever in Rome. It never says it. It’s manmade. It’s tradition with a purpose connected to it. But imagine! From the year 440 to the year 1870 we could say the popes were infallible and then the declaration was made in the council in 1870 that the pope if he speaks in doctrines that what he says is infallible.

Beloved, I have to tell you: The only infallibility we have on earth is the Word of God which remains forever. 

Then we have the announcement which we experience, which I was already living of course at that time – when in 1950 the ascension of Mary, the bodily ascension of Mary was proclaimed to be a dogma that had to be believed by everyone belonging to the Roman church. Imagine! How many years past and suddenly something is being proclaimed as a dogma. If you go to John chapter 3 verse 13 our LORD says: “No one ascended to heaven except the Son of Man who came down from heaven and is in heaven”. Now if the scripture says that no one ascended to heaven except the One who came down from heaven, the Son of Man which is heaven”. How can believe a dogma which was published in 1950? I can not, I will not! I will die with the Word but never believe a dogma! So, if you even go back to the year 431 when Mary was declared to be the mother of God – up to that day everybody knew who she was – she gave birth to the Son of God. Because if you read Matthew chapter 1 and Luke chapter 1 there we are told that the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary and the announcement was made that which is born of you shall be called the Son of God, begotten by the Holy Spirit, born by Mary.

Beloved, that is God’s Word! But then when the trinity doctrine came up which was actually started by Tertullian – a man born in Charthago in Tunesia, coming to Rome in the year 217. He was actually the one responsible to create the trinity doctrine. As he imagined, reading about God as our Father, reading about the Son of God and about the moving of the Holy Spirit. So he decided that they should be three different persons existing besides each other throughout all eternity partaking of the same divinity. But beloved friends, that is man made, it’s not the Word of God. It’s always the same One God. But maybe the statement would be in place right now that the Holy Scripture also does not know about a Jesus-Only teaching. Jesus Christ the Son of God was born and from heaven came the voice: “This is my beloved Son, hear ye Him! – This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased”. Matthew 3, Matthew 17. So, I believe only as the scripture says reading on in I Peter chapter 1. Please remember, we are not bought with silver or gold. We are not taken away from our own ways walking in the traditions of our fathers. But we’re purchased to walk in the footsteps of our LORD, to follow Him in obedience to His Word. We read in verse 19: “But with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot”. And we read on in verse 20: “Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world but was manifested in these last times for you”. This is so wonderful. Christ the Lamb of God, the Saviour was foreordained from before the foundation of the world. Because God knew that Adam and Eve whom He created and gave them to decide. He didn’t make them a robot. They could decide whether they would be obedient or disobedient, believe or not believe. We are not a robot, no! God made us so that we can decide to do the right or to do the wrong. And God, knowing all things throughout eternity knew that those He would create would make the wrong decision. And redemption would become necessary and therefore, therefore Christ the lamb of God was ordained from before the foundation of the world to redeem those who from before the foundation of the world were ordained to eternal life – to redeem those who before the foundation of the world had their names written into the lambs book of life. 

Beloved, God did not begun His planning when time started. No! From all of eternity God made the plan which from the beginning of time until the end of time will be accomplished for all eternity. So we are redeemed, we don’t belong to ourselves. We are purchased. We are God’s property. We are sons and daughters of God having received the Word as the seed. And the Holy Spirit came upon us and created new life in us and so we are born again by the Holy Spirit. In verse 21 we read: “Who by Him do believe in God who raised Him up from the dead and gave Him glory that your faith and hope might be in God”. So, beloved – we just don’t believe anything! We do believe God! We do believe His Word! And then in verse 23: “Being born again not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible by the Word of God which liveth and abideth forever”. And then the apostle Peter goes to Isaiah chapter 40 where the prophet speaks about the same subject, verse 24: “For all flesh is like grass and all the glory of men like the flower of grass. The grass withereth and its flower fadeth away” – and now it comes – “but the Word of the LORD endureth forever. And this is the Word which by the gospel is preached unto you”. 

Beloved, heaven and earth shall pass away but God’s Word remains forever. And I have to tell you in this apostolic prophetic Bible ministry that at the first coming of Christ the promises and prophecies pertaining to that event were fulfilled. And now all the predictions which must come to pass before Christ returns are being fulfilled. And the main one for the church of the living God is found in the last chapter in the last verses of the prophet Malachi: “Behold I send you Elijah the prophet before the great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. He shall turn the hearts of the children to the fathers and the hearts of the fathers to the children”. One part was fulfilled in the ministry of John the Baptist as can be read in Luke chapter 1, verse 17 – then the hearts of the Old Testament fathers were turned to the New Testament children but now both is being fulfilled. The hearts of God’s children are now being turned to the teachings of the apostolic fathers – back to the Word of God – back to Bible practise – back to Bible teachings. Therefore it is my duty, beloved to tell you that God has sent a prophet in our generation. You might be scared, you might even be shocked hearing Brother Frank speaking to you from the mission center in Krefeld Germany and saying that God sent a prophet in our time. Beloved, if I would keep this from you, I would be guilty on the day of judgement and God certainly would have the right to condemn me. I have to tell you that William Branham – a man sent from God – received a divine commission already in 1933, when he was told: “As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ, you are sent with a message which will forerun the second coming of Christ”. This is the time of calling back to the Word, the message of the Word of God containing all the promises of restoration of bringing things back into the original place where they were in apostolic days. William Branham, a man sent from God was used since May 1946 to bring about the breakthrough of this last healing revival. And many of the first wave of which I was already a part. I knew this man of God right to 1965 when he was taken to glory. I drove with him in the same car. I was in meetings in Europe and in the United States together with him. I’m an eye witness, I’m an ear witness. I can say Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever. I can testify, Bible days are here again. And this is God’s time for God’s people to hear God’s message which is God’s promised Word for this day to get ready for the Return of Christ. We have so many programs, so many charismatic things on earth. What we need to know today is God’s plan and program from His Word and line up with the scripture and become part of what God is doing right now.

Beloved, you are not part of anything. If you are a child of God you have a right to be part of what God is doing according to His Word right now. The Return of Christ is imminent. I have to emphasize it. The signs of the time speak a very very clear language. So, may the Words of God enter you soul. May they live in you and may you know the day and the hour, the message of God for this time. 

Beloved, I have to close. I would be glad to hear form you. This is Brother Frank speaking to you, but hopefully it’s the LORD Himself to you, using human lips because it’s His Word that I’m proclaiming to the ends of the earth. May the blessings of Almighty God rest upon you. I like to hear from you – in Jesus’ Holy Name. Amen.
