The Life And Ministry Of William Branham
Holy Scripture records the lives and deeds of men who walked with God and were so anointed with His Spirit that they would declare THUS SAITH THE LORD, and their words would be confirmed by infallible signs and wonders. They were God’s prophets, and the Voice of God to their generation.
In this generation, nearly two thousand years since the beginning of the apostolic age, the people of the twentieth century have also witnessed the ministry of a vindicated prophet of God. His name was William Marrion Branham, and his ministry fulfilled the Old Testament prophesy of Malachi 4:5:
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
Malachi 4:5
Not since Bible days has the world witnessed anything that can be compared to the ministry of Brother Branham. When he appeared on the national scene in 1946, it produced a spark that ignited a period of great healing revivals that swept across America and around the world.
To this day, he is acknowledged by Christian historians as the “father” and “pacesetter” of the 1950s healing revival that transformed the Pentecostals and ultimately gave rise to the Charismatic movement, which today influences nearly every Protestant denomination.*
For twenty years, and before millions of people, William Branham demonstrated the Gift of Discernment and the Word of Knowledge (knowing the secrets of a person’s heart) with an unerring accuracy that had never before been seen, and has never since been duplicated.
His healing ministry was legendary, yet in the opinion of many, he wasted the great gift that God had given him by trying to preach. Few church leaders were able to see past his lack of education and recognize the purpose of the gift, which was not to attract attention to the man, but to the Word that was being restored. The promise of Matthew 17:11 was being fulfilled: “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.”
There was a reason why God chose William Branham to be His Voice to this generation. He was a man who was not shaped to a theological conformity or influenced by denominational barriers, therefore he did not hesitate to point people away from all man-made creeds and traditions, and back to the original Word, just as it was taught by the apostolic fathers. He had no ambitions or agendas of his own, choosing instead to remain a humble servant of God, never aspiring to a lavish lifestyle or promoting himself above others. He lived his life in total surrender to the leadership of the Holy Ghost.
The profound anointing that surrounded his ministry, and the extraordinary demonstrations of the supernatural that occurred throughout his lifetime clearly identified him as a God-ordained prophet.
The effects of this ministry have not been diminished by the passing of time. Today there are an estimated half-million people worldwide who are followers of the Message which God delivered to His people through the ministry of Brother Branham. Millions of books containing his sermons are printed annually. Translation work is presently being carried out in more than 40 languages. Hundreds of thousands of his tape recordings are distributed each year. Missionary endeavors span the entire globe.
