William Branham- The 20th Century Prophet
William Braham was a Christian minister and believed to be the prophet of the 20th century. The Lord Jesus Christ has work with him in a very special matter. With this marvelous gifts, this cleaning of the spirit of man’s heart as will as the sickness of the body are the signs of healing and miracles and we all taught this was wonderful. William Branham has a unique ministry that god has given him.
Born in a little old cabin in eastern Kentucky near Birdsville, he is the eldest among the 9 children of Charles and Ella Branham. He was told by his parents that the morning of his birth a light came in the room and hang over his head.
His parents and relatives are catholic but not religious people. They did not go to any church and this has cause a steer among them. They followed me in all the days of my life. As he grows older, he build the opinion that the angel of God is the one protecting him since birth like the Angel that has followed the children of Israel from Egypt to Palestine.
Everyone knows about this story and the Angel of covenant is none other than the Lord Jesus himself. When Jesus was here on earth and manifested in flesh, he did not claim to be a great person. He told his disciples, “The son can do nothing but he Father can show him what will be done.”
In Saint John the 5th chapter, the scripture said; “Jesus pass through this famous pool of Bethesda, he find so many people there blind, crippled, and lame waiting for the moving of the water.” He ministered to one and if you will notice he knew who this person was because the father has showed him. He healed the crippled person. A crippled person who was laying in a pallet and Jesus healed him.
In St. John the 19th chapter we can read that he was question by the Jews perhaps like how we will question him today, why would a God pass through a place where all those people where lame, crippled and blind. They have even ask why not heal them all at once but here are his words “I merely stand here in front of you, the son can do nothing of himself but what he sees the father will command and I shall do.
Jesus has said that his own words, his ministry were based upon visions from his father. It is not strange that his ministry should be carried on as he promises his disciples. He said “The things that I do; you should also do and greater than what you have done before while I go on to my father.”
Jesus said” in a little while I will not be part of this world yet you shall see me and I will be with you, in you till the end of the world.”
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. It was believe that it’s a confirmation in this lifetime about the resurrection of Jesus Christ among the living, among this people who are performing the same signs that he has given while he was here on earth.
Since childhood, William Branham, has seen signs that God is preparing him for the great work he will performed in this world. Angels of the Lord, has protected him and give visions on what will happen in the future.
Frightened and with mix emotions William did not believe at first the destiny that awaits him. But God has his own way of letting individuals know of their assigned task. Maybe you have one too. Pray always and God will reveal to you the purpose of life.
