 That seems pretty plain. Jesus did not teach secret words.
+In 1948, shortly after saying he would repeat three high words to initiate a healing, William Branham prays for a long line of people.  The text (somewhat condensed) goes like this:
+:''"Father, heal our sister in the Name of Jesus Christ...God, I pray that You'll heal our sister in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen....God, heal our sister in Jesus Christ's Name....Dear God, heal our sister in Jesus' Name...In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth...You shall have it, in Jesus Christ's Name...Father, I pray in Jesus Christ's Name…God, heal this woman, I pray, Father, in Jesus' Name...And heal this man, Father, in Jesus Christ's Name I ask You Father. Heal our brother, Father, in Jesus..."
+From these quotes, the only words that are repeated in prayer are "Father", "Lord", "Jesus"and "Christ".  At the end of the day, William Branham was a man of a contrite and humble spirit, and full of charity.  It is that love that gave his words (Angelic or English) an audience before God.
+:''"For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones."'' (Isaiah 57:15)
 So what is William Branham referring to?
-Honestly, we don't have a clue but it should make us all take a very close look at what he taught.  We have heard [http://seekyethetruth.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=117&hilit=gnostic people claim that William Branham read gnostic texts and that some of his teachings came from gnostic sources] but to date we couldn't see that being true.

However, his statement about "three high words" provides support to those people claiming that he was exposed to and practiced gnostic teachings.  This should make us all take a very close look at what he taught to ensur it matches with the Bible.  Those teachings that do should be accepted, and those that do not (or are gnostic) should be rejected.
-However, we now have to ask the question, were some of his teachings from gnostic sources?  Doesn't it seem that this is where he got the concept of the "three high words of the Bible"?  Doesn't it seem '''just a bit contrary''' to the teachings of the real Bible?
