In Paris, I
stayed with Pastor Jean-Marie Ndimba Modjaka and his wonderful
family for a week and had 5 meetings in his assembly. Invitations were given
out to other churches and a few of them, preachers and believers, came.
Laying out the Word of God in order and speaking the truth in
love, the Branhamites were offended. To them, Bro Branham had
revealed all mysteries and there was nothing else they have need
of (they said) for their preparation of their translation. They told me to
burn my books and whatever I have published and warned me that,
if I don't, God would curse me with leprosy or some dreadful
disease like Miriam who spoke against Moses. Such is a tactic
often used by Branhamites, especially preachers, to create FEAR
in those who are not in agreement with their belief that Branham
was ABSOLUTE. Certainly, they are no differnt from the Roman Catholics who revere their Pope as the ABSOLUTE. One of
them, who could not hold his spirit, stood up and tried to voice
his disagreement while the preaching was on. He was upset
that I said our Lord's 40 days' fast was not without the
consumption of water. (He believed that Christ did not drink water
during His fast.) He created a commotion and loudly declared, as
he walked out,
that I have crucified the Word of God afresh.
If
Branhamites have the spirit of Christ and His Truth, how are
they so wrong in their spirit? The answer: Because demons feed
on false doctrines, agitating such believers to behave
pharaisaical and even to cause harm on the true worshippers of
God. It is rare to see a Branhamite who is able to control his
spirit.
It is
apparent to me in this second trip to Europe that, not only are
many believers confused, but also that the Scriptures are not
rightly divided and laid down for the believers, which led some,
preachers included,
to commit fornication and living in adultery with other women.
Truly, God said: "My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also
reject thee..." (Hos.4:6a).
On a
pleasant side, I was blessed to have met some wonderful
ministers of the Word living in Belgium, France and Switzerland.
