40 Day Fast

Now brother Brown, who had been at
the church in North Carolina with brother Bill Podarias went to
help brother Raymond Jackson with a publication called, “The
Contender”, which is a very good publication that is still being
published today, with brother Louis Turner as the Editor, who
does an excellent job. I thank them for putting my name in one
of their editions (Volume. 8. No. 9), encouraging brethren to
write to me for my taped messages. Later the North Carolina
church closed, then we changed the name of the church here in
Dawsonville to the “Sound of Liberty Assembly”.
Also at this time, I was preaching that “God would perfect the
Bride using the Five-Fold Ministry of Ephesians 4:11-16”. Upon
hearing this, many of those who claimed to be following the
message that brother William Branham brought, begin to tell me
that the Five-Fold Ministry of Ephesians 4 was not for the
Bride, and probably took place somewhere in the church ages. As
much as I wanted to believe this, something within would not let
me do it, now I see why I didn’t. I became so troubled about the
matter that I decided to fast and pray to God about it (this is
the same fast I spoke about earlier). So I began a fast that
lasted for forty days and nights. It was on the 38th day of
prayer and fasting that an audible voice came into the room and
said, “He (brother Branham) was an Old Testament Type Prophet.”
That was the answer I was waiting for. Many times on taped
messages, I would hear brother Branham say, “The Word doesn’t
come to anybody but a Prophet.” I would also hear the followers
of his message say the same thing without searching the
scriptures. The only thing about this is that it’s wrong in the
way that it is being applied by those that follow the message.
When we are speaking strictly of brother Branham, him having the
spirit of Elijah (an Old Testament type spirit), it was giving
identity to the scripture that he fulfilled in Malachi 4:5, 6,
but when you check this with the New Testament, the Five-Fold
Ministry of Ephesians 4, that kind of a statement is out of sync
altogether with scripture. To the Jews there were 12 Apostles
and there was Paul who was given to be the Apostle to the
Gentiles, all here at the same time and none of them were
Prophets, but the Word came to them. The book of Acts tells of
three Prophets, all here at the same time. So when God gave me
the revelation that He sent brother Branham as an Old Testament
type Prophet to this New Testament Age, He was showing that He
was sending the Word once again like He did in the Old
Testament, for in the Old Testament God sent one man, and the
Word came to him. I wrote this in a booklet titled, “An Old
Testament Prophet Comes To A New Testament Age”. When brother
Jackson read his copy, he said, “It was like something in him
said, “It’s time to preach it.” He immediately sent me a letter,
praising God and asking for more copies to send to the Canada
saints. That letter meant a great deal to me, and I have kept it
on file to this day.

(There I was in hell...such a miserable place it was; such
a feeling of depression and hopelessness; I can't begin
to describe to you the depth of it.) |
