In my time of prayer and meditation on the word throughout the day I feel a definite leading in the Holy Spirit that I am not focusing on bringing the word of God to people the right way.

While I do not feel at all convicted for teaching on the deeper things of the word of God I do feel that my focus that back to the Gospel.

What I mean by that is not simply that all I focus on should be the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and proclaiming that to the lost, though that should be a huge focus. I mean focusing as a minister on the Gospel and the major doctrines surrounding that. As in justification by faith alone, sanctification through the Spirit, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the doctrine of Christ, adoption, predestination, the inerrancy of scripture, etc, etc. Brother Branham taught extensively on and focused primarily on these issues. He certainly taught about the 7 seals, the presence of Christ, the 7 church ages, the serpent’s seed, his ministry, etc., but he never left off the preaching of the Gospel to the lost. This is something I’m feeling I have left. My focus is bringing people to the message but in doing that it’s a fine line of balance in my heart. How much different is that than a Pentecostal going out and trying to make people Pentecostal?

You could say, well you have the truth and the Pentecostal does not. However, what is in my heart? Is it a love for that person to bring them to biblical truth or is it a pride in my heart because I believe the message of brother Branham and I want to point people to him?

Certainly it depends on what is in my heart, but really, what is my focus? Are we doing all we can to get people to Christ or are we trying to make them a convert to our religion?

My desire and my purpose has to be to get people to Christ. First, they must know him as their Savior then you can show them what He has done in this day.

The doctrine that William Branham taught was pure and it brings us back to the bible. Somehow I wonder if in proclaiming the message we have lost some of the focus and balance that brother Branham had through the Holy Spirit.

I need to rebuild the foundation of scriptural teaching in my life and to approach others with the leadership of the Holy Spirit in bringing them the Gospel. For those of us who believe this message we have been restored to the pure Gospel as taught by the apostles.

Let’s place our focus on it and bring it to the world. The Bride should have a greater passion and greater desire to bring this pure Gospel to the world because we are being led by the Holy Spirit himself who is here for us in this day. The same Holy Spirit that vindicated the ministry of William Branham is here to work in us and bring the same Gospel to the world.

That is my passion and that is the direction that I want to go in my focus.
