About the author
William Marrion Branham
111 books89 followersWilliam M. Branham was a Christian minister, usually credited with founding the post World War II faith healing movement.[1] While many Pentecostal Christians welcomed his evangelistic and healing ministry, and some considered him to be a Prophet, a minority have accorded him an even higher status, believing that his ministry and teachings were supernaturally vindicated by God.[2] Some observers refer to this as "Branhamism," however, adherents prefer the name "Message Believers." He believed Christians needed to return to the original apostolic faith of the Bible, often referring to Malachi 4:5–6 and Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

A gift of God is some way you have of getting yourself out of the way. And gifts and callings are the predestination of God. “Gifts and callings are even without repentance.” You are born with it. A little gear that you pull yourself over in, but you cannot step on the pedal. See? God has to operate it. You have to get yourself out of the way. (William Branham, Lean Not Unto Thy Own Understanding, Page 31)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6, NASB)
The above scripture is the premise of this book. William Branham shares the pitfalls we can make if we lean on our own understanding. He encourages his listeners to lean on God through the power of the Holy Spirit. To leaning on the arm of the flesh: our education, our church's doctrine, especially the doctrines that do not line up with the Word of God, our experimental knowledge, etc.
What kind of Christians would we be if we leaned not on our own understanding. Instead we leaned on God, we trusted him, we believed the Word of the Living God? You can imagine what kind of world we would live in. Many of the world's problems would be solved. Man from the beginning has tried to live a life without God. This results in failure of the worst kind. It does not work. We were created to be in relationship with our Creator God.
