William Branham’s early work in faith healing attracted attention, and as stories began to spread of his healing gift, local pastors came to ask Branham to minister to their congregations and pray for the sick. When local churches could not accommodate the crowds, Branham's meetings were moved to larger auditoriums or stadiums for united campaigns in major cities in North America. His success soon took him to minister in countries around the world. According to one Pentecostal historian, "Branham filled the largest stadiums and meeting halls in the world."

William Branham continued his worldwide ministry, and the “Voice of Healing” magazine published an article in June 1950 about [[Kari Holma|a boy who was raised to life in Finland during the William Branham campaigns, after being hit by a car]].

By this time, William Branham was praying for the sick using two methods. The first was a physical reaction in his hand indicating the presence of germ diseases. The second was that he knew he could talk to people directly about their lives without the need to ask questions.

In the 1960’s William Branham would often say, [[An_Uncertain_Sound|“I am a prophet”, then “I am not a prophet”.  He also expressed confusion as to whether he was a seer or an evangelist.]]

William Branham came back for meetings in Jeffersonville in early 1963 where he preached about an angelic visitation he had received without his son Joseph and without birds appearing, and how he was divinely instructed to preach about the Seven Seals. These sermons contained a lot of church history, and [[Plagiarism|also borrowed heavily from the commentary of Clarence Larkin]] once again.  People who believe that William Branham was a major prophet consider these sermons the fulfillment of [[Matthew 17:11]], where Jesus says that Elijah must come and “restore all things”. The seals as taught by William Branham can be summarized as follows:
