<TITLE>05. Par 18-21</TITLE>L-18 Now, I figure it upon the authority of the Word of God, it was a spirit which cannot be seen. Now, here it is. Listen closely now. And if you people, for a night or two, will bear with me, and then the other people come in, you encouraged them. See? And...?... the vision.
Now, watch closely. Now, here's my hand. I'm going to put a transparent band around it, say like that. Why, my hand would begin to come dead; circulation's cut off. All right, I can't use that hand after while. I go to the doctor. The doctor looks, and he'd say, "Now, Mr. Branham, the only thing that I know that the nerves in your hand is dead."
Well, I'd say, "Doctor, what killed it?"
Well, he'd said, "I don't see no reason at all. Why, I looked, and it--it just goes up so far and it's dead. I don't know, something had happened there."
Well, he--if he couldn't see it or feel it, and he'd cut in there, "I don't see no reason."

L-19 Well, the--the nerves just don't operate beyond this line; they just died from there. Now, but the hand's dead. Now, what's happened? Now, I'm going to take that like the ear of a person, or the eye, or wherever it may be, any part of the body. To my thought of this and to, I believe, the Bible doctrine, Satan's bound that thing there. And there it has no circulation. Now, if I take this band off of here, I do not amputate the fingers and so forth.
But here's the main. You have... 'Fore you can find the cure, you have to find the cause. See? But here's the cause. And then Satan... And we know that--that to remove that... Now, that hand wouldn't be well right now, but it would be different. And the circulation will begin to circulate. It'll begin to hurt, and burn, and feel a little different. And after while, a few days, the hand will be all right. If you give nature a chance, it'll function correctly.

L-20 Now, disease germs... That's just the power of Satan when it's bound a person. And when that spirit is cast off of there, nature will take care for itself. That person will go to hearing. They'll go... Or whatever is wrong with them, they'll get well.
Now, in my work for my Master, I deal with spirits altogether, nothing natural. It's altogether spirits. And dear friends, I'll have to face this at the judgment bar of God. I want to go to heaven. I got a wife in heaven; I got a baby in heaven. I got loved ones there. Above all, I've got One Who died for me: Jesus. He means just as much to me as He does to any of you out there.
I can't help what critics say. I can only state what I know is the truth. And if you'll be truthful and sincere, God will bless it. God wants you to be truthful and sincere.

L-21 Now, let's just find out what diseases are. I guess the number one enemy today, of course, is heart trouble. But that's not a germ disease altogether. But the number one enemy in the germs are cancers, second is tuberculosis. Cancer's one of the major things. Let's speak of that just a moment.
But in here in this way, I don't get a chance to turn around. And I'm not turning my back to you, but I--I... It's just natural to talk in the face of this microphone.
