Indeed, the Word of God comes first to the prophets, as it is written in Amos 3:7 <em>\u201cSurely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets\u201d. <\/em>And so, in our generation too, a prophet has been raised up to prepare us for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His Bride. A return promised to His disciples according to what He said: <em>\u201cAnd if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also\u201d. <\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Through Brother Branham&#8217;s ministry, we were shown who Jesus Christ is, and how important His name is to those who claim to be His. Through the inspired preaching of God&#8217;s Word, which our beloved brother brought, God provided the spiritual food we need today. But what good is food if it&#8217;s not made available to the hungry, and not distributed?<\/p>\n<p>This is why God has promised in His Word and established another ministry in the same Spirit as that of the prophet Elijah, to distribute food at the proper time according to the promise made in Matthew 24, verses 45 to 47. This faithful and prudent servant urges us to stay on the revealed path by warning us against false interpretations of God&#8217;s Word and exposes the truth to us according to his ministry as a doctor. A doctor of God&#8217;s Word is a man capable of taking the biblical verses concerning this time, and relating them to one another, under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. This has been fully confirmed over the years by the ministry of our brother Ewald Frank.<\/p>\n<p>Since childhood, God had placed in Brother Franck a love for the Word of God. By the age of 14, he was reading the Bible, driven by a genuine inner longing. God had put within him the desire to seek what was biblically right.<\/p>\n<p>In 1953, he began preaching. In 1955, in Karlsruhe, he took part in Brother Branham&#8217;s blessed meetings. He realized at once that the man on the platform was a man truly sent by God. It was at these meetings that he met him for the first time. In 1958, during the &#8220;Voice of Healing&#8221; conference in Dallas, Texas (USA), he recognized that Brother Branham&#8217;s ministry was biblically different from all others. From then on, he received the sermons given in Jeffersonville, Indiana (USA), and was thus able to participate in the ongoing spiritual evolution and development.<\/p>\n<p>On April 2, 1962, at daybreak, he had an exceptional experience. As with Paul, God gave His servant a direct commission. In his mother tongue, German, the almighty, piercing, authoritative Voice of the risen Lord said to him: &#8220;My servant, your time for this city is soon over. I will send you to other cities to publish My Word&#8221;. Without strength, he collapsed and fell on his left side, his face to the ground. The next moment he was out of his body, and from this other dimension he saw himself saying these words: &#8220;Lord, they will not listen to me. They have everything in abundance and live in debauchery&#8221;. But the Lord replied: &#8220;My servant, the time is coming when they will listen to you. Gather food and supplies, for a great famine is coming. Then you will stand among the people and distribute the food!&#8221;. The final words of this divine call were: &#8220;My servant, do not found any local church or publish any hymnbook, for that is the sign of a denomination!&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>On December 3, 1962, Brother Branham, based on divine revelation, repeated to him word for word the Lord&#8217;s words of April 2, 1962. He enlightened him on the meaning of food, not material, but spiritual, corresponding to the preaching of the Word of God that the Lord had promised and revealed for this time, which is recorded on tapes. He told him to wait for the rest of the food before starting to distribute it.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of 1965, God took His prophet back to Himself, but the Word brought for this time through his ministry still stands.<\/p>\n<p>After the funeral that same day, an inner voice spoke to Brother Frank&#8217;s heart: &#8220;Now is your time to distribute the food&#8221;. Without having to think about it, he knew what he had to do, and the next morning he gathered the brothers in Brother Branham&#8217;s inner circle to persuade them to print the sermons. It was under his impetus that this particular end-time Message was able to spread throughout the entire world.<\/p>\n<p>By his God-given commission, Brother Frank has been preaching the wonderful Gospel of Jesus Christ in over 130 countries since 1964, with an eye to the end times, wherever the doors open, by the grace of the Lord.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; By 1968, he could travel to Eastern Europe, albeit often under very dangerous conditions in those days. For ten years, from 1968 to 1978, he broadcast short sermons for twenty minutes every Sunday morning on Radio Luxembourg. These broadcasts were a blessing for many people.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In July 1975, a brother asked him if his ministry could be found in the Bible. He&#8217;d never thought about it before and didn&#8217;t know what to say. But very early the next morning, as he had just picked up his Bible, he heard the same Voice of the Lord say to him: &#8220;My servant, I have destined you according to Matthew 24, verse 45, to distribute food at the proper time&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9c6aa48 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9c6aa48\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-abe8450\" data-id=\"abe8450\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e17794 elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-widget-divider--separator-type-pattern elementor-widget-divider--no-spacing elementor-view-default elementor-widget-divider--element-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"4e17794\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\" style=\"--divider-pattern-url: url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&#039;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&#039; preserveAspectRatio=&#039;none&#039; overflow=&#039;visible&#039; height=&#039;100%&#039; viewBox=&#039;0 0 24 24&#039; fill=&#039;black&#039; stroke=&#039;none&#039;%3E%3Cpath d=&#039;M24,8v12H0V8H24z M24,4v1H0V4H24z&#039;\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;);\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon elementor-divider__element\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-bible\"><\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-395d5aea elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"395d5aea\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-183f7679\" data-id=\"183f7679\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19f3c510 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"19f3c510\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brief History Edwald Frank Ewald Frank preached the everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ in more than 150 countries and his messages were heard by millions through many TV stations. click [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-613","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"campaignId":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/christianmissionofhouston.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/christianmissionofhouston.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/christianmissionofhouston.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christianmissionofhouston.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christianmissionofhouston.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=613"}],"version-history":[{"count":27,"href":"https:\/\/christianmissionofhouston.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/613\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":671,"href":"https:\/\/christianmissionofhouston.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/613\/revisions\/671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/christianmissionofhouston.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
