William Branham was said to be a forerunner is Gods works. Although he was of modern times he was no stranger to Him or His glory. Bro. Branham has had many encounters with the spirit throughout his life and the series of books by the name of Supernatural: The Life of William Branham documents his life from his very first encounter up until his very last encounter. His very last encounter came from the spirit a few days before he was in a terrible accident that in turn had taken his life.

In this encounter Bro. Branham had heard the voice of the Lord tell him that it was time to start his crossing. Bro. Branham's response to this was “I am not afraid”, he then started to pray. Previous encounters with the Holy Spirit came when Bro. Branham was suppose to go to Jerusalem. As he sat he heard a voice tell him “Don’t go.” After a few minutes he thought he may be imagining things, however, the voice spoke again, “Don’t go, this is not the hour.” Bro. Branham then found a secluded place to pray. As he was praying in the back of an airplane hangar the Angel of the Lord spoke to him once again. The Holy Spirit told him that he was to stay out of Palestine, it had not been the right time or the right place for Bro. Branham and the work of the Lord for that region had not been fulfilled yet.

It has since been fifty years since God had prevented Bro. Branham to take that flight into Jerusalem. This along with many other visions can be found in the series of books based on Bro. Branham's life. To some it may seem supernatural but to others it is just another day in the light of the Lord.
