<TITLE>15. Par 60-64</TITLE>L-60 A man come to me here not long ago. He said, "Brother Branham, I been to Freeman, I been to Roberts, I--I been to Ogilvie, I been to all of them. They can't do me no good. I come to you."
I said, "You're just as bad off now as you ever was. You've gone to the wrong person. Go to Christ." Amen.
What you fool around with man? Man can't do nothing for you. He can preach the Word; he can show His signs of what God give him. But he can't heal you; God has to heal you. That's right. You believe that's the truth? It is the truth, friends. That's right.
Well, your pastor's just as well to do that, or any elder of the church, as any other man. That's right. He's got just as much right as any other man to do it. For the only thing you have to have, is faith in God. There you are.

L-61 Now, notice quickly. Then, fourth day come. First, Jesus said, "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth."
They said, "If he sleepeth, he doeth well."
"I go wake him."
He said, "If he sleepeth, he doeth well."
Said, "He's dead, but I go wake him." All right. They went with Him then and went over. Now, here they was coming to the city. Just a few moments, I'll close. My time's just getting right away. I... Oh, my, I feel good this afternoon, just feel the responding faith. This builds me up, right there with your faith moving out.

L-62 I see now, if I could get my version of showing you God's attitude towards healing you... If you've been preached Divine healing and practice Divine healing through the age as you have the Gospel of the Holy Ghost, then, brother, sister, the same results would come right here this afternoon by healing, as it was by the Holy Ghost. You believe that? Sure. But when I go to preaching on the power of the Holy Ghost, and He begins to take the Word of God and place It out there, every Holy Ghost filled...?... will reach and grab It like that. My, they just grab it right now. They can't help it; they're hungering for it.
Brother, if you'll turn right around and realize He was wounded for your transgressions, and with His stripes you are healed, you can receive the power of God right there to heal you right where you're setting. Amen. True.

L-63 Here He comes to the city now. Four days... There's Martha and Mary setting there. Dark, my, all hopes is gone. Lazarus was rotten out in the grave. That's just words that you--all of you can understand. Just simply laying there, and you can say, "deteriorating" if you want to, but he's rotten. That's...
One night, I said I've got so sick I puked. And all them commenced to laughing. I said, "I'm just as sick when I'm puking as you are when you're vomiting, so what's the difference." I said, "It's just the same."
Don't try to put on a whole lot of stuff, be just who you are. That's what's the matter with people today. They're trying to get too starchy. It's the truth. Amen. I mean that, don't you? Amen. I believe it's the truth.

L-64 People's got putting on so much of... The Gospel's got to a thing it's all padded up, educated up. They put them in the, out here in these seminaries, or cemeteries, or whatever it is... (all the same, both dead places.)
And that just put me in mind of a... Seminary preacher reminds me of a incubator chicken. A little incubator chicken just chirps, and chirps, and chirps, and ain't got no mammy. He's mechanically turned out. Puts me in a mind of a incubator preacher too. That's right. Hold on. I love old fashion God saved Holy Ghost people and Holy Ghost action. True. It responds. That's true.
