'''William Marrion Branham''' was an evangelist who has been called the ''"pacesetter of the healing revival"'' <ref>The Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements: (Zondervan, 1988, p. 372) ~ ''Branham filled the largest stadiums and meeting halls in the world.’ ... As the pacesetter of the healing revival, Branham was the primary source of inspiration in the development of other healing ministries.''</ref> and a ''"prophet"''<ref>The Full Gospel Men's Voice Magazine (February, 1961) ~ ''"In Bible Days, there were men of God who were Prophets and Seers. But in all the Sacred Records, none of these had a greater record than that of William Branham."''</ref>. He was born in rural Kentucky, raised in Indiana, and in the 1940’s his healing ministry skyrocketed him from a rural pastor to an international evangelist. | |||
William Branham was compulsively deceptive with those around him. He often embellished stories, facts, and scriptures to his own advantage. What you hear on William Branham's recorded sermons is only one side of the story, yet that story often blatantly contradicts documented history. | William Branham was compulsively deceptive with those around him.
