William Marrion Branham born April 6, 1909 and died on Christmas Eve of 1965, he was a Christian Minister and known to his followers as the modern Prophet. He is much known with the Pentecostal Christians because of his evangelistic and healing ministry. While others considered him as a Prophet, others also considered giving him a higher status, believing that his ministry and teaching were supernaturally given by God.
But William Branham wants his follower's to become "Message Believers." He believed that Christians should return to the original faith in the Bible. He always referred to the Bible verse Malachi 4:5-6 and Hebrews 13:8
Malachi Chapter 4 verse 5-6: 5 "See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction."
Hebrews Chapter 13: Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever.
In the morning of William Branham's birth, a light was seen hovering over his head that gives his parents fright because they don't believe in miracles and not very religious people. They haven't gone to any church in their hometown. After that incident, his parents have always looked for other signs that it will happen again.
At the age of 7, the Branham's family moved to Jeffersonville, Indiana and has lived there ever since. In his early childhood, William Branham has experienced supernatural happenings that he can't explain before.
He told his story like this: "When I was a little boy, we get our water from the well, some city blocks from our country home. One beautiful September afternoon, while coming from the pump with some water there was a stately proper tree stood about halfway between the pump and our house. Upon passing by the tree, there was a whirl of wind coming from it. It's something we call whirl wind and there is nothing odd about this time of the year in the country but the wind remains in the tree and it never lives. I stop to see what it was and suddenly a voice spoke from it saying "Do not ever smoke, drink or defile your body in any way for there is great work for you to do when you get older." Frightened, I run home quickly telling my mother that a man has spoke to me out of the tree, she thought I was nervous and puts me to bed.
From then on visions begin to appear. When it appears to me I am able to tell people what's wrong with them, what they have done wrong in life and sins that they been holding back in their lives."
At the age of 37, one night as I was praying in my room I rise up and noticed there was light on the floor. Looking around where it has come from and noticed it was coming from above. The pillar of fire just hanging above and was throwing light on the floor. Then I heard someone walking and coming into the room. It came into the light was a man in human figure. He is 200lbs of weight, had black hair up to his shoulder, white complexion and barefooted. Of course I was frightened and he said to me "Fear not" and as soon as I heard that voice I know that it was the same voice that has spoken to me but this is the first time that I have seen his human form.
He said "I am sent here by the presence of god to tell you that you have to pray for the sick people, and to create science and wonders. People will be following your ministry and you will be praying for kings and monarch and so forth."
I said "But I was a poor man, I have no education, and I will not be able to do this job." He said "Moses was given 2 signs as a confirmation of his ministry and you will also be given two signs. One; will be praying for the sick and disable as a miracle and the other will be to heal the heart of the people."
I told him that I was praying about this but the people told me that it was from the devil.
He has referred so many scriptures about how God has save so many lives. I told him I will do it and he gave me the assurance that he will be with me always. And that's the start of the wonderful things that has happened in William Branham's life. God has given him a path to follow and he is more than ready to fulfill his destiny.
