About this ebook

This study of William Marrion Branham's ministry reveals much about the healing methodology of deliverance evangelists. Branham's theology of healing highlights the widely accepted role of evangelists as mediators between God and the afflicted. The dynamic growth of Pentecostalism in the twentieth century is a major feature of the modern religious scene. Branham is acknowledged as a leader of the healing revival movement. Although little known outside of the Pentecostal movement, his work had tremendous influence on today's televangelists and the whole of Pentecostalism itself.

Ratings and reviews

Mr Douglas Weaver has presented a lenghty study which underlines that The Healer Prophet William Branhams teachings are contrary to the scripture I wonder what he would have written had he been living in the days of Jesus Christ. Think on this, The Religous Jews like the pharasees,saducees,lawyers,scribes herodians missed the first coming of The Christ because he did not come according to their pre concieved notions and they instructed their followers not to acknowledge that Jesus was the Christ on pain of being thrown out of their organisations ,just to think that Jesus preached in their temples had even been invited by them to their functions spoken as "who is this young Prophet from Galillee" what was the turning point here it is "I and my father are one -No man can come to the father but by me- Your sins are forgiven you-You whitened sepulchures....-Jesus tore down their concept of the scripture so much in that they crucified Him The life giver *and life could only come forth by laying down his life" Do you see the parallels in the ministries, look for the parallels in all the ministeries of the sons of God -Noah,Moses-David-JESUS-Paul- and tell me who was not rejected and what were they rejected for, was it for the miracles or was it for their teaching I think by now you have the answer My Conclusion is that Jesus would have suffered the same verdict by the pen of Mr Douglas weaver

Gods prophet. Such an inspiration to our lives. God is great!!!
