<TITLE>04. Par 15-18</TITLE>L-15 Well, the... Now, look. The deposit... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] for your healing was put in God's medicine cabinet, or His bank on the day of the crucifixion at Calvary. You see what I mean? Then He was wounded for our transgressions, and with His stripes we're healed. And your healing is done bought and paid for. Oh, my. It's yours. All you have to do, is just reach out and get it.
Now, in order that people would see and know, God promised that He would send gifts. Is that right? There's nine spiritual gifts promised to the body. That is the body of believers. It's not for the unbelievers. Divine healing is not for you who do not believe; it's for those who believe. The Holy Ghost is not for those who do not believe in It: It's for those who believe It.

L-16 Now, a few years ago when the Holy Ghost had--before It came, and the Church began to get formal back in the days of Methodists, and you people cried to God for deliverance, and God sent down the baptism of the Spirit. Now, since then, people has been liberated from their sins by receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Is that right? Now, those who do not believe in It, they can't receive It. You've got to believe in It.
Therefore, He sent anointed preachers to preach the Word, and you received It. And now you received... How many in here has received the Holy Spirit, let's see your hands? Now, that's fine. My, looky there, almost a hundred percent. Wonderful. Oh, my. We ought to be able to do anything. That's right. Why, there's nothing now...

L-17 Why, that much believers in here that's received the Holy Ghost, why there oughtn't to be a feeble person among you in the next few hours. That's right. What do you think about it, sister on the cot? Do you believe that's so? All right.
Now, notice. If you can believe. Now, many of the miracles that's performed, I always see them in my room in prayer before I come to the building. How many all of you in here has heard how the gift of healing come to me, haven't you? Most all of you I see, 'cause I told it last time here. About... Do you still believe it? Oh, that's just fine. That's fine.
Now, we want to read just a little out of the Word here, and teach it just for a few moments, and then we'll get ready for the service, for the healing service.

L-18 Now, this is during the time of the early ministry of the Master. He had been healing the people everywhere, and His fame had went out. Now, if the people would've doubted Him, that He was the Son of God, that He was the Healer Divine, they could've not been healed. Even His prayer for them would've not have healed them. His hands would've not have--laying upon them would've not have healed them. Jesus never took credit for healing anyone. He said, "Thy faith has made thee whole." Is that right? "Thy faith has saved thee."
A woman once touched the hem of His garment, then everybody wanted to touch the hem of His garment. And you notice in the meetings, you'll hear people say... I'll hear them. I'll tell somebody maybe under inspiration, "Go up this street, or go up to the corner, throw down your crutches." Then the next one come through, say, "Brother Branham, tell me to do so." See? They just keep whatever they see somebody else doing.
Well, friend, if somebody in here now could just raise right up and touch Christ by faith, looks like the rest of you could.
