It is very difficult to deny the miracles that took place in his ministry. There are still many people alive that were witnesses and that experienced God's grace through his ministry.
Some examples of God's amazing love on display were a young lady who was blind that did not even have eyes in her sockets and before witnesses through the prayer of William Branham eyes were created in her sockets for her. In Mexico City a mother who had her baby die went to a doctor and the baby was pronounced dead. The mother walked out and went to the meetings that were held by the Branham campaign. She did all she could to get her baby to be prayed for and she finally prevailed. William Branham prayed and the baby was restored to life. Another instance is a man was in a service and he collapsed and died. His wife was a nurse and she felt for his pulse and he was dead. Branham came and felt his pulse and asked for everyone to be calm. He prayed and ask God to restore the man's life and immediately he came back to life. I could literally go on and on about the miracles God performed.
Many people agree that he was sent by God to pray for the sick, but later in his ministry he was called by God to teach the scriptures. When he began to do this he taught things that many people did not agree with. Especially those within the framework of the Pentecostal and Charismatic denominations of the day. As William Branham began to teach that God is one person not three, that baptism should be administered in the name of Jesus Christ, predestination, serpent's seed and various other scriptural teachings people began to reject him. If they didn't reject they would spread the idea that "when he is under the anointing he's a prophet, but when he is teaching he is not."
The very word prophet implies that the word of God comes to and through him. Certainly, William Branham had a strange way of speaking as he was an uneducated man. Many believers stumble at the fact that he is not a polished speaker, but when Peter and John spoke to the Sanhedrin Council in Jerusalem they said we perceive that these men are "ignorant and unlearned." They didn't talk like the rest of the rabbi's in town who had their words all right and their speeches perfected by years of theological study. They simply presented the truth in their own backwoods Galilean way. William Branham did the same thing, he received a revelation from God, he went back to the bible to verify that it was scriptural and he taught it from the bible.
I adjure anyone reading this article. Please, don't take what everyone else is saying about William Branham out there on the internet. Listen to what he has to say and go back to the bible to see if these things are so. Don't ask a theologian and don't consult a theological book. Go back to the bible and pray over it. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth of
