Ladies and Gentlemen, beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ, 

This is Brother Frank speaking to you from the International Mission Center in Krefeld, Germany. We do appreciate very much to have this privilege to share God’s Word with you. We actually call it “the message”, the „Bible message of the hour” containing the promises for this day. And as the Apostle Paul wrote, he preached the whole counsel of God, it is my desire to share with you the whole counsel of God, starting with the salvation of our soul, with the forgiveness of our sins, with the justification by faith in the blood of Christ that was shed on the cross of Calvary. 

Please understand: every experience is attached to the Word of God and every Word of God is a promise and is given in reference to the experience. Like today, we might have the teaching of being born again. And people don’t have an idea of what the experience of being born again actually is. They have just a word, a slogan, but not the experience.

Then, if you go to 2 Corinthians, chapter 5, (verse 17), “If someone is in Christ, he is a new creature”, justified, sanctified, following in the footsteps of the Master, in obedience according to His Word. Friends, it’s not a secret that we do have hundreds and thousands of different denominations and churches and whatever you have. But there is only one Church of the firstborn, only one Church of Jesus Christ, one Bride which is now preparing to meet the Bridegroom. And this is not a denomination but consists of all the true believers. And, please, take it to your heart: a true believer stays in the Word of God. As Abraham received the promise and believed the promise and was justified and then saw the promise fulfilled, so do we, as the seed of Abraham, the seed of Christ, who is called in Matthew, chapter 1, verse 1, “son of Abraham” and “son of David”. It’s always a spiritual connection in the prophetic Scriptures.

Today I like to share a few things with you. First from Hebrews only one verse, from chapter 4, verse 12, “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” The Word of God is the power of God to them that believe – to them that believe. 

I don’t want to say this every time, but I think again about what Brother Branham said. And forgive me for mentioning his name. I mention Paul, the prophets of the Old Testament, the apostles of the New and we also mention men who were outstanding in the course of church history. Why not mention a man sent from God in our time? A sermon with the title “The Anointed Ones at the Endtime” really touched me. And then I thought about Matthew 24, where our Lord speaks about false christs and false prophets which and who would deceive many. And then Brother Branham says, there are many anointed with the Holy Spirit, but they are false in their teachings, false in their way, and, Beloved, that touched my heart very much. And then Brother Branham said, speaking about the three circles: the outside and then the inner circle and finally the soul, the inside of the inside. And here you can only believe and have life, or not believe and not have life. 

If we don’t believe God – Brother and Sister, dear Friends, don’t fool yourself: if you don’t believe God, and that means, if you don’t believe His Word – because God would not come down from heaven and speak to you personally; God has already come down from heaven in Jesus Christ, has redeemed us and left His Word to us from Genesis to Revelation. And be sure: if you cannot believe every Word of God, there is something not yet right in your soul. Only the moment when divine revelation comes into your heart after you received God’s holy Word, respecting, believing what He said, then revelation comes. If not, you may argue, you may discuss about certain Scriptures and you can do it until you die. But the moment when something happens on the inside of the inside, in your soul, you are connected to God Himself by the Holy Spirit who inspired the Word that we have with us today. But be honest: every minister, every church, every denomination explains the Word of God in a different way, and everyone says, “We have the truth. We have the truth.” But where and how? So we have to examine ourselves, go back to the Scriptures and do like they did in Berea: search the Word of God to see if things are so. 

Here we read, “For the Word of God is a living word, a powerful word, sharper than any two-edged sword.” It cuts, coming and going, coming and going – a two-edged sword, piercing, penetrating into the inside of the inside, dividing asunder even soul and spirit. Here we have: this is the spirit-realm, and the inside of the inside is the soul. Oh, Beloved, how wonderful to have experienced the Word of God according to this verse! Yes, yes, I can claim it by the grace of God: this Word of God pierced my soul. This Word of God means everything to me. And when the Lord called me on April 2nd, 1962 just at sunrise on that morning which was a Monday morning and saying with a tremendous, audible voice, “My servant, your time for this city will soon be over. I will send you to other cities to preach My Word …” Beloved, this is just as true as every verse in this Book. So I am looking back to many, many years, going from country to country, from city to city sharing the Word of God.

 Actually, I can look back to 1958, when William Branham told me in Dallas, Texas, at the ”Voice of Healing” convention, “Brother Frank, you will return to Germany with this message.” And then of course in 1962, when the call of the Almighty directly was addressed to me personally to go from city to city to preach His Word. And this is what I am committed to do. 

Now, never forget, the Word of God can not be smooth, as you would like to have it, no, even if you read how our Lord spoke to the scribes, to the pharisees, it was always sharp. Even one time in John, chapter 8, he said, “You are of your father, the devil.” Beloved, there is no compromise: You are either a son of God, or not; a daughter of God, or not. You are either in the Kingdom of God, or not. You either have eternal life, or not. You are obedient, or you are not. You agree with the Word of God, or not. You cannot have the two things together. It’s impossible. It’s impossible. And our Lord said in Matthew 7, “Enter the narrow gate to walk on the narrow path which leads to Glory.” We must deny ourselves, die to ourselves with Christ, so that Christ can live in us.

Shall we turn to Hebrews, chapter 2? Here we have a number of great statements in this Word of God. Hebrews, chapter 2, verse 11, “For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one and the same, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren …” As He, our Saviour, prayed, “Our Father …”, He taught us to pray in the same way. He, the Son of God – we are sons and daughters of God. He, the seed of God in the singular – we are the seed of God in the plural. Here we are told for both: He that sactifieth and they that are sanctified are of the same. How great Tough art! How great is Your Plan of Salvation! How well did You mean, Eternal God, with humanity! You didn’t leave us unsaved, without hope – You came to us, You redeemed us and brought us back into fellowship with You. 

Hebrews, chapter 3, verse 7 and 8, “Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit saith, Today, today if ye will hear his voice …” Whose voice do you hear? Is it the voice of a preacher, the voice of a church? Whose voice do you hear? Let’s read again, “Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit says …” Very important! Not as an evangelist or whoever, but “as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of trial in the wilderness.” 

Friends, today God speaks to us, and we call it “the message of the hour” – the restored Word of God. As the promise goes from the Old Testament, “I will send you Elijah, the prophet, before the great and dreadful day of the Lord comes.”, confirmed by our Lord in Matthew 17, verse 11, “Truly Elijah shall first come and restore all things.” and confirmed in Mark, chapter 9, verse 12. Have you ever heard about the promise for our day? Have you ever heard of the supernatural things which have taken place in our day? 

Friends, I have to say this over and again. You know, when I mention Brother Branham, I just don’t do it because I like to, no, I do it, because he had a special call, a special commission which God confirmed. I already showed you one picture. Today I am showing you another. And, Friends, I knew Brother Branham for ten years. I am an eyewitness, I am an earwitness of what God has done in our time. On December 22nd, 1962 he had a vision of the appearing of the supernatural cloud which then happened on February 28th, 1963. And just have a good look: Here you have the picture: here you have “Science” magazine. And if you turn the picture like this … Here you have “Science” magazine, here you have “Life” magazine, sharing with all of humanity, with all of humanity the supernatural things which happened in our time. Here you can read it, you can read it for yourself: “…And a High Cloud Ring of Mystery.” 26 kilometers above the earth, where no cloud can be, the supernatural cloud appeared. And Brother Branham was taken into that constellation and was told, “Return to Jeffersonville, for the seven seals will be opened.” This happened in March 1963, from the 17th to the 24th, when Brother Branham spoke on the seven seals. 

Friends, coming back to Hebrews, chapter 3, “Today, when you hear His voice …” “Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit saith …” Why do the Scriptures say, “Whosoever has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says.”? And here we are told, “Today, when you hear His voice, harden not your heart …” Beloved, I am telling you the truth: The Return of Christ is near. The supernatural things have taken place in our time, and the last message of restoration bring things back to where they were at the very beginning, before the so-called “church fathers” started with the changes and finally nothing remained in the church of Rome as it was in the church in Jerusalem. Everything was changed, and everything is still changed today. And all the denominations which have come out from that state church must check for themselves and come to the understanding that it is not enough to just have a little different knowledge or teaching here or there. But we must start anew! We must start anew! Because the Bible says in the Prophet Jeremiah, “We wanted to heal Babylon…” Jeremiah, chapter 50 and 51, “We wanted to heal Babylon …” No one will ever heal Babylon. The Scripture says, “Come out, ye, My people, and be separate, and then I will receive you and you shall be My sons and My daughters.” 

Friends, healing, spiritual healing in your soul, and of course in the Plan of Salvation and in the Will of God can only happen according to the Word of God. Please tell me: can we be of any service in the Name of Jesus Christ to you? Can we share with you the promised Word of God for today? Please don’t expect Brother Frank to deny what God has done in our time. No, I have to share these things with you. And we say again: “Wherefore the Holy Spirit says, Today …” This is our today! This is our time! It’s your time! Beloved Brothers and Sisters, it’s our time, and this time will end, and the Return of Christ will be. I am looking forward to meeting you on earth on one of my next trips. But I am certainly looking forward to meeting you, when the Lord returns and we shall meet Him in the air. God bless you and be with you in Jesus’ holy Name. Amen.
