Dear Brother Billy Paul,
Christian greetings to you in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. I write this letter with deep concern in my heart, after having read the tract sent to me from some brethern in africa. The one which Sarah [your sister], had printed and sent out.

All of these things stated in the tract are between you and her. But my purpose in writing to you these words, is to find out why Sarah has been put on the outside of the family and treated worse than a stray dog? Why doesn't she have the same right to receive some of her living from the ministry of her father, Brother William Branham? You sure have been doing it for the past 25 years. Why can't she also have access to some of the material benefits? There has to be some reason why all of you have rejected her from the family circle. I am sure of one thing, if Bro. Branham was alive and given a choice to set things in order, Sarah would be given an equal opportunity to share in the things of his ministry.

Billy Paul, I am not writing this to you, just to try and get Sarah's influence. I don't need anyone's influence. After reading the tract which she had printed and sent out, I could not help but feel concerned for her, her children and her husband. Maybe you don't consider her children as nieces and nephews of yours, but I am sure that Bro. Branham would see them as his grandchildren.

It seems strange, Becky and her family are living in the home in Tucson, Joseph and his family are living in the home on Ewing Lane, and you are living in a good home in Sellersburg. So why can't Sarah have a good home also from her father's ministry?

The money stated in the tract is a considerable amount. It is not right for her to be turned away from her rightful inheritence. Since all the money that was put in there, as the Lord's money, was due to Bro. Branham's ministry. No one child in the eyes of God has any more right to it than another.

Sarah called me, and told me how she has been treated. I felt very sad in my heart for her and her family. She never asked me to wite this or do anything. I am doing this out of respect for her, being Bro. Branham's daughter.

Billy Paul, you may say that this is none of my business. It is true that I am not a member of the Branham family, but I am a member of the family of God. And in the eyes of God this whole thing is not right.

Do you remember in 1966, when certain men were going to make me their Joshua? I was in North Carolina at the time. You wanted to talk to me on this. So when I came home I met you and Bro. Nevile at the Tabernacle. There you told me how wrong it was for me to allow that spirit to go ahead. I told you then that I did not accept that Joshua teaching. Later in Christianburg Va you requested that I make a public statement condemning that Joshua teaching, which I did. It was in Ernest Fulcher's church in the afternoon service. Even though there are some that still condemn me on that.

Now after almost 25 years since Bro. Branham's departure, you still cater to men who hold Bro. Branham as being Jesus Christ, Lord, or God. I well remember the Sunday that Bro. Branham preached on the "Bruised Serpent". How he condemned that spirit that wanted to make him Jesus Christ. Then that afternoon these men all came and parked in the driveway of his home and were suppose to have repented to him of that. Now almost 25 years later some still go on believing tat. And you go along with that, plus a lot of other things that some men teach. Not one time have you reached out to touch them, or corrected them.

Billy Paul, in these last 25 years I have not left my wife for some other woman, though some have said that I did. I love my wife and she loves me. She has went around the world three times with me, enduring conditions that many would not have. I have never hoarded up money. In the past 20 years I have managed to feed people that have come to our meetings. I have also put many up in motel rooms that could not afford to do it for themselves. I want people to be able to enjoy the fellowship of each other no matter what their financial status may be. Many times people have asked me, "How do you do it?"

Billy Paul, when Pastor Armon Nevile was on his death bed, he told me how that Banks Woods told him that Bro. Branham had said "Don't ever let Billy Paul get in control of the money, because it will ruin him."

Now after these many years have gone by, It looks strange that you seem so eager to cut your sister and her family off. Billy Paul, I would think twice before I would let this condition for on much longer. Your sister has as much right to any material benefits that Bro. Branham's ministry left behind, as you do. Could it be that she does not agree with all these wild revelations that some hold too? If so, then you are just using the financial condition as a leverage on her.

Billy Paul, you have went with men who hold to quotes, etc. for years now. And you yourself have gone nowhere in the true spirit of God. During the last few years you have projected your brother Joseph, as God's next Prophet. That idea in itself lets me know that you are all mixed up. Oh yes! I know what Bro. Branham said. And it would do you well to listen to the scriptures on this. The Bible only spoke of one major Prophet for our age, Malachi 4:5-6. Any other prophet will have to come under Eph.4:11, New Testement prophet. Which he could become a prophet along with others. Such as in 1 Cor. 12:28, not, the Prophet, one and only. Which I am sure you would like for it to be. Because this would give you a great hold over God's people.

Billy Paul, I am not picking on you. I'm telling you that for almost 25 years, you have played both ends against the middle, hoping to come out the winner. It won't work. Billy Paul, you have a nice personality, but it is minus the true love of God. Because if you can treat your own sister the way you are, then I know how you must look on others who refuse to go along with you and your motive of belief.
Sarah is in New York struggling to survive, under conditions that aren't fit for a dog. You could make life much more enjoyable for her and her family. They have no furniture of there own, no car, and no future, only God. Little do you realize it Billy Paul, God could have allowed you to act this way through the years. To show the real christian people through-out the world, that you need Jesus in your heart and life in a greater way. You don't need all those deity people around you, using you t o put forth their carnal purpose- even though they have money to throw away.

In 1966 when you talked to me on the Joshua spirit, I want you to know, you never offended me. I have always had respect for you as a brother in the faith. But now, years later. I see you catering to people of many carnal revelations. That never will be accepted by the true bride of Jesus Christ. Billy Paul, I remember that Sunday morning when Bro. Branham wept as he did, and preached his heart out, because of what those men and people had done to him, in making him Jesus Christ. Now that he is gone, you seem to hold to those people like they are glued to you. And their revelation, now in 1990, is even worse that it was then. You will have to give an account to God one day why all this has been tolerated.

A few years back two men from the United Pentecostal Church wrote a booklet abut Bro. Branham. The title of the booklet was "Branhamism Fact or Fiction". In that booklet they condemned Bro. Branham's teaching on Serpent Seed, Predestination, and him being a prophet to the gentiles. Of which they said was unscriptural for there to be one. In this booklet they said that, "His body was kept in state at Faith Assembly Church, Jeffersonville, In.". After reading the booklet I wrote an open letter an rebuked the whole thing and challenged them on their statements. I sent it to the U.P.C. headquarters at Springfield Mo. and to the Rev. Post in Canada, who I had met one time up there in an airport. I expected to at least get some response from headquarters. But to this day, they have said nothing. Why do I say this? Because I used the Bible to defend him and not a bunch of quotes taken out of context of the sermons. I never heard any of your people say or do anything in defense of Bro. Branham's ministry in regards to what was said in their booklet.

Billy Paul, you may think that God doesn't speak to anyone anymore unless they are in your camp. But please wake up and listen. I am going to send you a tract, telling what the Lord showed me back in 1988. When Jim Bakers ordeal first started. And also, last year there was a man from Costa Rica in our convention. He gave a great testimony in which he related how God spoke to him in two different dreams. To get ready and come to the states, and there he would lead him to a man that would give him new wine. Meaning a new revelation. He is coming again this year to the convention, and we will be making plans to go there to minister to those people. Billy Paul time is running out. It will not go on for another 25 years. But time will soon tell where we will all wind up at in heaven or tribulation.

In the past 25 years, preachers and laymen around the world have taken Bro. Branham's name and message and run wild. Not only with their lives in an immoral way, but their revelations are as evil as their deeds. I have a filing cabinet full of some of the things they have preached and propogated. Some in print and some on tape. All done in the name of William Branham, God's prophet.

Billy Paul, I saw the figures of the amount of money that was in the corporation name in Tucson. It doesn't bother me if it is three billion. If you can use it for the glory of God. Since your sister Becky and family have a home in Tucson, Joseph and family have the home on Ewing Lane, and you have one in Sellersburg, Please! in the name of Jesus Christ reach out your arms to your sister. And let her have a roof over her head. So that she and her family can spend a little of their time, while left here, living at least a life of peace and comfort. As you have. Please give those little children something of their grandfather's ministry. Because time will not go on another 25 years. and we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ and give an account of the things that we have done in His name while in this life, II Cor. 5:10. Amen
