Spoken Word Fellowship
What makes a fellowship a family?
To some it's a cultural thing, to others it may be age, or even similarities in worship style. To us it's the people. Being a multi-cultural church we believe that it is love that makes all things beautiful. So regardless of your cultural background, your ethnicity, and even your age we believe that Love is the most important part of what makes a fellowship a family!
Statement of Faith
We are a small multi-cultural non-denominational church that believes in the Power of God's redemption through the shed Blood of His son Jesus Christ!
That through the scourging of Christ, His death, Burial, and His resurrection is the only true way to salvation.
We believe the Bible to be the absolute true and inerrant Word of God.
That the same God who sent the Isrealites prophets of old, has sent us in this age a Word Prophet to point us the way to the original faith of our fathers who were sealed with the Holy Ghost on that wonderful day of Pentecost according to Malachi 4:5-6
A man sent from God
In the very last chapter of the Old Testament there is a promise given to us concerning the end times. It proclaims that ...
Mal 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
KJV
Today many Christians and theologians will agree we are in the "end of days" but many don't take accurate account of this scripture and so they don't understand that it is a direct promise that God would send a man in these times with the spirit of Elijah the prophet to bring the church back into alignment with the Lord Jesus Christ, through revealing the mysteries that have been shut away for so long!
** On April 6th,1909 God sent that man. From the minute he was born, William Branham was set apart from the ordinary. Right after he was born, a light, almost like a star, flew into the room and startled his parents Charles and Ella Branham. The strange light circled the room several times, then stopped over the bed hovering over the new mother and child. Then as quickly as it had come in, the fireball left, whirling up past the rafters and out through the roof. Ella Branham, thought that her child has been dreaming, when one day he came running into to house, and told her that a little bird had told him that "you will live near a city called New Albany". Shortly after, the family moved to New Albany.
However, the most supernatural event that would affect William Branham happened when he was seven years old. He noticed a whirlwind in a tree, a tree. As he watched, a voice suddenly boomed from the tree saying, “Don’t ever drink, or smoke, or defile your body in any way. There will be work for you to do when you get older.” He became hysterical, and would not calm down. A doctor was summoned, who declared that he was just nervous, and would get over it with time. He never went near that tree again.
From then on, he would sometimes feel a presence or see visions of things that would terrify him. However, he did not think about God until he was fourteen, when he nearly lost both legs in a shotgun accident. As he lay dying in a pool of blood, he saw a terrifying vision of hell. He cried out to God for mercy promising that he would be a good boy if he lived. Miraculously, he was given that second chance. He lived.
After that accident, William Branham did not know what his promise to be a good boy meant, so he did not think about God. One day, as he walked past a church when he felt something telling him to go into the church. He however he refused to stop and continued on his way, even though. Soon after, he heard a voice saying, “I called you, and you would not go.” He realized then that he had to approach the Lord since his life has been spared, but he did not know how. One day he decided to tack a letter to a tree. He then went into a barn and prayed sincerely from his heart. When he opened his eyes he saw floating in front of him, a brilliant amber light, forming a perfect cross in the air. There, in that barn, he accepted the Lord Jesus Christ.
Shortly after this experience, he met a young woman, Amelia Hope Brumbach, who invited him to visit the Missionary Baptist Church in Jeffersonville, Indiana, USA. The pastor, Dr. Roy Davis, was impressed by the young man’s sincerity and zeal. After watching him for several months, Dr. Davis suggested that he should enter the ministry and he was ordained as a minister in the Baptist church.
As a young pastor, he struggled to understand his peculiar life. Why was he the only minister in town who saw visions? When God first called him into nation-wide evangelism in 1934, he refused because his mother-in-law felt that he should not drag his new wife, Hope, around the country. He paid dearly for the mistake of not listening to the Lord by losing his wife, Hope, and daughter, Sharon Rose, to tuberculosis in the Flood of 1936. After the death of his wife and daughter, he fell into a deep depression, feeling that God had abandoned him. He tried to commit suicide a few times but did not succeed.
Meanwhile, The visions continued. Ministers told him that these visions came from Satan. Desperation finally drove him to seek God in the wilderness, where he came face to face with a supernatural Being. This supernatural being, the angel of the Lord, gave him a commission from God to take the gift of Divine healing to the people of the world. When William Branham argued that people would not believe an angel had really met him, the angel said he would be given two supernatural signs to prove his calling.
Soon after the angel visited him and told him he was ordained to take a gift of healing to the people of the world, the first sign appeared – a physical reaction in his hand that happened only when he touched the hand of someone suffering from a germ-caused disease. Within two months of his commission, William Branham’s extraordinary gift had gained national attention. People by the thousands flocked to his meetings, where he preached salvation and Divine healing in the Name of Jesus Christ. Miracles abounded. The world had not seen anything like it since the days when Jesus walked through Galilee, casting out demons and healing all who were sick and afflicted, and infallibly discerning the secrets of hearts, hundreds of thousands of times, without once being wrong. The second gift appeared soon after – he was now able to discern the hearts of the people.
Rev. William Branham’s ministry continued to flourish. He traveled all over the world proclaiming the message of the hour. Between 1951 to 1954, he conducted the largest Christian meetings in history up to that point. The high point of his ministry came after he met the seven Angels where the Seven Seals were opened.
On December 22, 1962, the Lord gave him a vision foretelling this event immediately after six dreams in succession were brought to him by brothers and sisters in the Lord. Having gone west at the command of the Lord, on February 28, 1963, he was hunting in the mountains surrounding Tucson, Arizona, when his vision suddenly was fulfilled. First, a blast shook the earth, then what looked like little dots way off in Eternity rushed in and materialized as a constellation of seven angels in a pyramid, into which he was caught up. The seventh notable angel on top spoke to him of matters that St. John was forbidden to write in the Book of Revelations, "Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not." It was at this time when the mysteries of the seven seals were revealed to him.The angels departure resulted in the cloud formation which when viewed, reveals the full face of the Lord Jesus Christ. The celestial phenomenon of an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) left waves of publicity. Both The Arizona Republic and The Phoenix Gazette printed stories.LIFE Magazine, May 17th 1963 edition carried it. Science Magazine also included it in the April 19, 1963.
John 13:34-35
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another ; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another .
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
KJV
