People ask questions, God answers

52
Summary
With gratitude I look back at 54 years of preaching the Gospel
and 42 years of being in the international ministry, during which
I had the privilege to share the true Word through meetings and
via radio and TV broadcasts with millions of people in over 130
countries. Perhaps it helped especially the brothers on the African
continent that Brother Branham saw the German eagle
flying through Africa. In every country, in every city I introduced
the prophet, but I always preached Jesus Christ as Saviour, Who
is the same yesterday, today, and for ever, and, of course, I faithfully
only taught from the Word of God. I have never dealt with
the controversial subjects in public, never mentioned a brother
by name who propagates false teachings. However, since the glorification
of a man has reached a magnitude that idolatry is being
practised with the person of the prophet, with relics like pictures,
crucifixes, pieces of fabric, and special sites like the grave,
etc., that are being turned into places of pilgrimage, I have no
choice but to speak up, whether my voice is going to be heard or
not. The final push to deal with these much-debated issues was
given to me by a parcel with four CDs and DVDs sent to me by a
brother from the USA. It arrived just as I had finished answering
these questions, a task I had actually hoped to avoid. The DVDs
turned out to be yet further confirmation of the importance and
urgency to show some of the controversial things in the light of
the everlasting Word of God.
All that it seems to have come to is a Branham-centred message
which is no longer in agreement with the everlasting Gospel
of Jesus Christ. It is being heard over and over, “The Prophet
said …”, “The Prophet told me …”, etc., etc. Jesus Christ is not
mentioned by these people any more. He no longer has a part in
what these brothers are sharing in their testimonies. The concern
is the prophet and what he said, but what Jesus Christ said
is not taken into consideration. Life stories, hunting stories, tent
stories, airplane stories, and so on, are the contents of their testimonies
and what Brother Branham said as a man is declared
to be tHus sAitH tHe Lord. Is this not a complete deviation from
