People ask questions, God answers

He calls out the elect, and He is the One Who will
complete the work of Redemption. Those who preach
will be judged in the presence of the ones they have
preached to, according to what Brother Branham
experienced when he was taken beyond the curtain
of time. That is in agreement with Rom. 14:7-12 and
2. Cor. 5:9-10. The Apostle Paul said, “For we shall
all stand before the Judgement Seat of Christ.”
Question 20: How do you react towards those who slander your
name?
Answer: Not at all. That gives me the chance to bless those
who cannot control their jealousy. My fate is no
different than that of all the servants of God who
preached the Word. As the Apostle Paul writes, “…
by honour and dishonour, by evil report and good
report; as deceivers, and yet true …” (2. Cor. 6:8).
When, for instance, untruths and slander are being
circulated in the publication “Contender”, or in a
book about the seven thunders, or in open letters, or
even from the pulpits and in the internet, with the
sole purpose of undermining the divine influence of
the God-ordained ministry, then I know that Satan
is using those people. He did that with all of God’s
servants.
The Lord Jesus Who called me gives me the strength
every day to share the true Word of God with all the
true believers. In spite of all the reproach I must
bear, I can only wish well to the old and the new
enemies of the truth. Those who in their day persecuted
the prophets, the Lord, and the apostles,
were the religious leaders, but in reality they were
spiritually blind and tried leading the blind.
The actual nature of the seed will manifest itself.
You can never pick figs from a thorn bush, nor can
you draw sweet and bitter water from the same well.
