Dear Friends, beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

this is Brother Frank speaking to you from the International Mission Center in Krefeld, Germany. We do have this Apostolic Prophetic Ministry for one reason: to share with you the original teachings of the Scriptures, to share with you God’s plan of salvation. 

I have chosen Romans, chapter 1, today to read a few verses to let you know the importance of the ministries God placed into the Church of Jesus Christ. In Romans, chapter 1, verse 1, we read, “Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God …” Here the apostle speaks about his divine call, about his comission, and therefore about the responsibility he had before God. He was separated from all religion, from everything else and dedicated to the Gospel of God. The apostle before receiving this call was a religious person, educated in the Scriptures and even fighting the questions, untill the Lord appeared to him in that supernatural light on the way to Damascus. It is possible with us that we are in a religion, in a church and still have not met the Lord, have not seen the Light, have not received a direct call to the ministry, but remain in traditions and therefore teach them.

In verse 2 we are told about this Gospel of God, “… which he had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures …” We have to say this over and again that God does all things according to His Word. In the Old Testament He made all the promises, and in the New Testament He fulfills whatever He promised through the prophets in the Old Testament. And the New Testament confirms from the first page to the last that God kept His Word and did what He promised. The New Testament began with the ministry of John the Baptist, a man sent from God with a message of God to the people of God at that time: to prepare the hearts of God’s people to receive the Lord as their Saviour, to bring Bride and Bridegroom together. 

In verse 5 we read, “… by whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name …” Here the ministry is connected to achieve something: to bring people back out of disobedience into obedience, turning them from their own ways back to the ways of God, from their own teachings back to the true scriptural teachings. 

In verse 16 we read in reference to the Gospel Paul was preaching, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” – and today to all of us. Paul was not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ which became the power of God to him unto salvation and to everybody that would believe, Jew and Gentile. 

Beloved, we can read one more verse: verse 18, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness …” This is a very strong, very enlightening and very important statement: … who subject the Truth, who keep the Truth from men, who preach their own doctrines, but not the Truth. “… withholding the Truth, subduing the Truth in unrighteousness …” And this is what is happening in all of Christianity, in all religions, and actually it’s done all over the earth in every way possible. But the problem is this, that only the Truth can set us free from the error; only righteousness can set us free from unrighteousness; only faith can set us free from unbelief. 

Beloved, let us turn to a few more Scriptures. It is my commission to go from city to city, from country to country, from continent to continent to preach the everlasting Gospel, as we were told in Matthew 24:14 and in Revelation also, that the everlasting Gospel should be preached, the Gospel of the Kingdom, and then the end would be. We all believe, at least if we respect the Word of God to be the Truth, then we believe that the return of Christ is imminent. We are living at the end of the endtime, all Bible prophecies and all predictions are being fulfilled. There are no solutions for the problems which are coming upon all nations on the face of the earth. The good times, if they ever were, are finished for ever. 

Beloved, let us come back to John, chapter 7, verse 16, “Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.” Maybe once I should address the preachers, evangelists, those who call themselves men of God, who claim to have a ministry and, maybe, even a call. Our Lord said, “The doctrine I am preaching is not mine, but it’s of the One who sent me.” Beloved Ministers of the Gospel, Whose doctrine are you preaching? What church is it that you represent? I am not criticizing, I am just making a point. We do have hundreds of denominations, millions of churches internationally and then locally, and everyone has its own doctrine. Every church believes what was set forth as the rules and guidelines for that certain denomination. 

But now the time has come when God’s people are being called back to God, to His Word, to line up with the Scriptures and to let the Truth prevail. Up till now the Truth is subdued in unrighteousness. And what is unrighteousness? What is unbelief? What are these things? Beloved, do we have a religion, or do we have Jesus Christ? Do we just preach a gospel with a few stories, or do we preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the power unto salvation. The Apostle Paul preached the full Gospel. Everything was included: the salvation of the soul, the deliverance of the spirit, the healing of the body. Everything was included. It was a full Gospel. 

What is it today? Shall we read verse 17? “If any man will do His will …” If any man is prepared to do the will of God, then “he shall know of the doctrine, whether it is of God, or whether I speak of myself.” The same applies today. We all, even all, dear Friends, who are now listening, you have to decide, Are we speaking of our own, of our doctrines? To be honest, my background is Lutheran, Baptist, Pentecostal. For generations and generations my people were Lutherans, and we believe that Luther was the greatest man of God in our country. God used him in a very, very special way, but that was the beginning, those were the first steps: The just shall live by faith.

But there are more truths to be restored, there are Bible teachings which need to be restored now before the return of Christ. Then we understand all the other revivals which came along under John Wesley, under John Smith – all the different men of God, right up to Finney and Moody and whoever they were. Then we understand, that the Holy Spirit was poured out again hundred years ago. But this was not all, there was more truth to be revealed. 

And, Friends, I am an eye and an ear witness of what God has done since World War II. Already in 1933 the Lord called William Branham. He had a supernatural calling and commission with a divine responsibility connected to it. Then on May 7th, 1946 the Lord gave him another supernatural experience. We have to read about it. I cannot go into detail, but he was sent with a message that would forerun the second coming of Christ, a message of restoration, of correction, of bringing us back to the original truths, bringing us back to the original foundation, to the original teachings of the Word of God. And, beloved Brothers and Sisters, please resepect what I am saying now: if you wish to have part in what God is doing right now, you have to be connected to the promises which are in connection with the plan of salvation. You cannot run after this evangelist today, after this tomorrow, this charismatic personality today, and then after somebody else tomorrow, with all the stories, with all the stage men, with all the performance. No, that’s not what God wants you to do and to have. 

We must come back to God, and this is a must! It’s not a suggestion; it is a must! And therefore, we understand something very clearly, and we have to say it. I have to say it: the time to make a decision has come. And that is, whether we are going to believe the Word of God without a single interpretation of what the Scripture says, but simply believing, believing and finding every subject confirmed in harmony within the Scripture itself. This applies to the Godhead, to Water Baptism, to the Lord’s Supper, to all the fundamental Bible teachings. And then, of course, we have to decide whether we are going to believe what we find written in this Book or whether we are going to believe what is written in a catechism. It can have a thousand pages and more with explaining, explaining, explaining the teachings of a church. But I am satisfied with this Book. 

And if you feel obligated to believe what church fathers said, well, I will not hinder you to do so. But if I were you, if I were you, I would take my stand with God! I would acknowledge that every man is a liar, even a religious man, and, just forgive me, but those heathen church men in the Council of Nicea, when 540 were gathered to decide the doctrine of the trinity, they discussed day and night, day and night … You can read about the length of that council in the church history books. And then 318 voted like this and the rest like this. Are they in the year 325 to decide what I am to believe? I don’t think so. No, I don’t think so. For me, it’s already decided. It’s in this Book. I don’t need a single council. I don’t need a single dogma. I just need to tell you that the Truth is being subjected under unrighteousness. 

And therefore, like for instance, when our Lord said, “It behoves us to fulfill all righteousness.”, and He went into the River Jordan and was baptised to fulfill all righteousness. What was it? And John the Baptist said, “I wished, you would baptise me. How do you ask me that I should baptise you?“ “I must fulfill all righteousness.” And He was baptised. When the Apostle Peter preached the first sermon and the people rushed together by the thousands, and then the Word of God was not like a hammer on the head, it was moving like a sword into the hearts, and they were asking, “Men and Brethren, what must we do? What must we do?” The answer was very straight and plain, “Repent, everyone of you, and be baptised in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” And 3,000 were added to the Church. 

What do we find today? A few drops of water on the head of an infant, and then the clergyman says, “Now you are a child of God.” No, no, that’s not in the Scripture! Why is righteousness and the Truth subjected in unrighteousness? Why are the wrong doctrines looked upon as though they are right, and the right Bible teachings as though they are wrong? Brothers and Sisters, God will have no compromise, and I am asking you: Today you stand with God to believe the Word of God, to be in the Truth. And only then the Truth shall set you free and you will become a child of God, receiving the power of God, the full Gospel, the demonstration of the power of God in your soul, in your spirit and in your body. 

May the grace of God, the peace of God and the blessings of God rest upon you all, wherever you might be, in the precious Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And I would love to hear from you. We do have literature in various languages, and we are ready to serve you free of charge. The Lord God be with you untill we meet here one another again. God bless you in Jesus’ holy Name. Amen.
