The introduction to '''A Man Sent from God''' contains the following statement:

:''The story of the life of William Branham is so out of this world and beyond the ordinary that were there not available a host of infallible proofs which document and attest it's (sic) authenticity, one might well be excused for considering it far-fetched and incredible. But the facts are so generally known, and of such a nature that they '''can be so easily verified by any sincere investigator''', that they must stand as God's witness to His willingness and purpose to reveal Himself again to men as He once did in the days of the prophets and the apostles.

The editors of this website, and others, have taken up the challenge to verify the facts surrounding William Branham's life and ministry.  You can read our article on [[William Branham|William Branham's life story]] for more details on a variety of William Branham's stories that did not line up evidence uncovered as the results of our sincere investigation to vindicate William Branham's life story.

The following testimony first appeared n the July 1948 issue of the Voice of Healing, and was reprinted on pages 136-137 of "A man send from God"

''When I was two years old I had polio. My parents carried me to many different doctors.  I spent some time in crippled children's hospitals.  All of them did no good. I got worse all the time. Finally my condition was so bad that I became insane. I had been in the state institution nearly seven months when my people heard about Brother Branham's healing service in Pensacola.  I was carried over there and that night I was put in jail because the Lord wasn't through with me.  He used me as an example to show the people that He has more power than the devil.  When my sister came to see me the next morning, I was perfectly contented because God had shown Brother Branham that he had healed my body.  I am now 25 years old and have a good job.  Thank God for his healing power.

Next the voice of Brother Branham was heard praying, "Almighty God, I beseech thee in the Name of Thy dearly beloved Son, Jesus Christ, give this woman her life again."  Suddenly the limp hand tightened on the hand of Brother Branham. Then with a little assistance she sat up.  The astonished husband saw what had taken place and threw his arms around her and cried, "Mother, thank God, your with me again."

The following testimony written by Rev. Arthur Hyland first appeared in the July 1948 issue of the Voice of Healing, and was reprinted on pages 145-146 of "A Man Sent From God":

"Many were healed of all kinds of afflictions and diseases. Two large goiters disappeared right before my eyes, as well as a cancer on a lady's face.  A girl's leg which had been shorter than the other, was lengthened.  One Catholic lady who had been an invalid for 10 years was healed of cancer, raised up from her bed, walked out of the building, and has been doing all her work since.  Many other healings took place for which we give God all the praise."

The following article was written by Fannie Wilson, a reporter, and reprinted on page 160-161 of "A Man Sent From God":
