Greetings Brethren,
I wish to quote some scripture which speaks of what I wish to accomplish, and the reason for this letter.

Jeremiah 6:16-18; Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the Trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O Congregation, what is among them.

Revelation 4: 19; As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

This and the following letters are being sent out to those who for the most part believe that William Branham was a prophet sent from God. So these following letters are not to try and show by the Scriptures that he was the fulfillment of Malachi 4:5, but rather how those that do believe this are to approach his teachings and the things he said, which we have in Tape, Book, and Electronic formats.

I received by revelation from the Lord in 1986 that William Branham was the manifestation of prophecy, written in Scripture. Of course after receiving this I desired to fellowship with those that say they believe the same thing. But to my dismay, and sorrow, I have found that there is many divisions among these Christians because of the different interpretations by ministers who all say they believe that William Branham was a prophet and was used by God to fulfill End Time Scriptures. Because of this I have keep myself separate, by not being identified as, or a part of, any of these different "sects." I say sects because that is what we have. To deny this is to close ones eyes to the truth.

I have had fellowship for the last ten years with a number of different ministers and brethren within many churches, but to join one or to become a "upholder of the beliefs" of any of them I have refused. Why? Because of that spirit which gets among a congregation which believes they are right and the others are wrong. The strength of this spirit also varies in different churches depending upon the teachings of the ministers. So as always its the ministers not the Sheep that is to blame and cause of this denominational spirit.

I'm not saying that every church is in this condition, but most are. And I'm not saying every Christian in these churches has this spirit on them, but far to many do.

Lets hear what bro. Branham said concerning what has happened and how it came about.

57 "There we are, back to the end time. And I spoke against that denominational system right then. And I still believe tonight that it's a cesspool, that it's a place where the filth run into it. I can't believe that God would ever take such a thing in His Church, because it's got to be born of the Spirit of God and then cleansed before it can be called His. The mystical Body of Christ, we're baptized into it by the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
59 Yes, this cistern system is certainly a perfect example of denomination. A wise man ought to look and never to go into it, for God has proved through the ages that He's against it and never did work with it. Any group... Any time a man raised up with a message, like Luther, Wesley, or so forth, and Smith, and Calvin, and them, when they started the organization, God laid the thing on the shelf and never did visit it again in a revival. Look through history. There has never been a time that God ever took a denomination and made a revival out of it: nowhere. Then through history and by the Bible proves that it's a filthy thing in the sight of God. So I don't want nothing to do with it. And that's why I'm against it and trying to get the people out of it." (William Branham)

69 "So all these sensations and things that people have and still live on, you can see why they do it. See, it becomes a denomination or a stagnated pool, and there'll never be a denomination made upon the--the perfect Word of God. It can't do it, because you can't nominate--or denominate God. No, sir. The reason it is, you get a bunch of men who can believe the Word, let them start an organization; the first thing you know, in a year's time there's a bunch of Ricky's in there that you couldn't do nothing with. They got a hold, and you can't do nothing about it. It's not God's system. It isn't. So we know that that thing's died and becomes a cistern and becomes a place where each one will compromise on this, that or the other to get members in there, or let people come in." (William Branham)

Brethren it's been 33 years since bro. Branham left the scene and has left what he said in the hands of ministers. So it is quite easy to see why the condition of the churches that say they follow the Message of William Branham are in the condition that they are. When you have ministers that will compromise the Word plus add to and take away from the Scriptures, it will become a denominational cistern. Deny it if you will, but the "Message Churches" as they are now called, have become in spirit and works as the rest of the denominations.

And even as there is different branches coming off the main organization such as the Baptist, Pentecostal, Methodist, and Nazarene churches because of splits concerning various doctrines, even so is there many branches coming off the Message Church. So there is no difference Brethren, though I'm sure many of you don't want to see this.

It has also happened to those in the Message Churches even as it happened to every other denomination before her. When the Azusa street revival which was of God, begun to be taken over and controlled by man, the Pentecostal denomination was formed. They also said that the Evidence of the Holy Spirit was speaking in tongues, that this proved you was part of the Bride of Jesus Christ. But we know that many spoke in tongues and did not have the Holy Spirit, and therefore were not Bride.

Even so, the Evidence of the Holy Spirit in the last revival by the Messenger William Branham, was the ability to accept the fullness of the Scriptures, as that was the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the people, in that revival. But we now find that the revival was taken over and controlled by man, and because of the man made dogmas and doctrines, we now have the Message Church denomination. Therefore we have many that say they are the Bride of Jesus Christ, and have the evidence of the Holy Spirit, just because they "proclaim" they can accept the Message of William Branham. But we find that though many profess this, that it just is not true. Remember, by their fruits you shall know them.

66 "Today I was talking with my good friend Dr. Lee Vayle, who's present now. And he's a--quite a theologian. And so we usually have some--have some pretty good discussions on the Scripture. Very smart, and he asked me one time what I thought about the initial evidence of the Holy Ghost, was it speaking in tongues? (It's been many years ago.) I said, "No, can't see that." He said, "Neither do I." said, "though I've been taught that." He said, "What would you think would be a evidence?" I said, "The most perfect evidence I can think of is love." And so we got to talking on that. And then I thought, "That sounded pretty good." So I just held that: If a man's got love. But one day the Lord in a vision straightened me out, and He said that the evidence of the Spirit was those who could receive the Word, neither love nor speaking in tongues, but it's receiving the Word.
68 And then Dr. Vayle was saying to me that that is Scriptural. He said, "Because in John 14 Jesus said, 'When He, the Holy Ghost is come upon you, He will reveal these things to you that I've taught you, and will show you things to come.'" So there is the genuine evidence of the Holy Ghost. He's never told me anything wrong yet. That it is; the evidence of the Holy Ghost is he who can believe the Word, who can receive It. 'Cause Jesus never said, "When the Holy Ghost is come, you'll speak with tongues." He never said, "The Holy Ghost come you'd do any of those things," but He said, "He will take these things of Mine and show them to you, and will show you things that is to come." So there is the genuine evidence of the Holy Ghost according to Jesus Himself." (William Branham)

Brethren I'm here to help you, I'm not against you. These words I'm speaking are the truth. If you will just be honest and take a look around, you will see this. Bro. Branham spoke of these things but many have failed to look in God's mirror, His Word, and apply them to themselves. Instead they are looking at some other denomination or even another message church and seeing how wrong they are without comparing themselves to that Word.

James 1:22-25; But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therin, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Children it is quite evident that just because a person or a church says they believe the Message of William Branham doesn't make it so. All the other denominations say they believe the Bible, but do they? All the rest of the denominations also say they are the Bride of Jesus Christ, but are they? If you was to try and convince them that they was being deceived by the leaders and ministers of their denomination, how would you do it? By the Scriptures of course. The word of a man means nothing, it's the Word of God that shall judge us all. And we can either repent and line up with the Word now while we are alive in this body of flesh, or be judged later by a God who is a Consuming Fire. It's your choice, what are you going to do? Are you sure that your life lines up with the Word of God? Or are you deceiving yourself by not truly looking into God's Word? Is simply "professing" that you believe the Message of William Branham your "Seal" and "guarantee" that you are saved and have passed from death unto Life?

In my next letter I will prove by the Word that many of the ministers in the Message Churches have perverted, corrupted, deluded, added to, and taken away from what bro. Branham said. They by their traditions have made the Message of William Branham of none effect. Therefore we see the fruits of many different message churches saying they all believe what he said, but many lie and speak not the Truth.

You, Children of God, are the reason for this attack by the wicked one. His ministers are placed to try and pervert the True Gospel of Jesus Christ. Would it be a strange thing for him to try and corrupt the True Message of William Branham so that it could not have the effect it is supposed too upon the hearers? Satan and his demons are fearful of those who walk in Truth and the Power of the Word. Not of those who say they do.

May the Power of Revelation be yours,
Paul McAroy

Voice of a Watchman
Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will Enquire, enquire ye: return, come.  Isa 21:11,12 

Re 1:5 Jesus Christ, who is the Faithful Witness, and the First Begotten Of The Dead, and the Prince Of The kings Of The Earth. Unto Him that Loved us, and Washed us from our Sins In HIS OWN BLOOD,
Php 2:9-11 God also hath Highly Exalted Him, and Given Him A Name which is Above Every Name: That at the Name OF Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that Every Tongue Should Confess that Jesus Christ IS Lord, to The Glory Of God The Father.
Ac 4:11,12 This is the STONE which was set at nought of You Builders, which is become the HEAD OF THE CORNER. Neither is there Salvation in any other: for there is None Other Name under heaven Given Among Men, whereby WE MUST BE SAVED.
