<TITLE>03. Par 10-13</TITLE>L-10 Now, we know many brethren has different ways. The main principal way of Divine healing is preaching the Word, so people could hear. Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing of the Word. And they preach Divine healing and prove it by the Scriptures that Jesus Christ died for our sickness when He died for our sins. And that is true. I believe that's undisputable with Bible scholars, that--that Jesus, when He come to destroy the works of the devil, He--that sickness is directly the work of the devil. It--it...
We can't pin evil things on our heavenly Father, because evil can't come out of good. It--it has to... Good comes from good. And God is all good. There's nothing evil about our heavenly Father. And He's all good and Satan is the enemy.

L-11 Now, sometimes, I will admit this, that our heavenly Father sometimes chastens us with sickness, permitting Satan to do it, to try us sometimes to--to bring us back. If we go out of the way, then our heavenly Father might let something happen to us to bring us back. But it'll only be for the good. See? The chastening of our Father is not pleasant for a season, but finally it brings... All things work together for good to them that love the Lord. And if I was way away from God and out of the will of our heavenly Father, why, if God would just... That He could do something for me and--and help me to come back, why, I would appreciate our heavenly Father, wouldn't you?

L-12 Now, this being the first night, I just want to talk just a little while to you till we get ourselves mainly in the... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... as well in our churches, we know that. And then there's in Divine healing the full Gospel people, oh, I've seen many of them, being that this is a full Gospel church... Many times, I guess, that--that I'm no judge, but many times people maybe act like they just got the Holy Spirit, when really they haven't got It, because their--their life doesn't prove it. You see? That... It just isn't there. And they may shout like the rest of them, and they may make demonstrations like the rest of them, but if they don't live the life to back that up, then it's--it's not right. You see? It--it proves it.

L-13 And someone ask me not long ago on that question. "Brother Branham, do you really think that they are shouting under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit?"
I say, "Yes."
You'd say, "Well, how could the Holy Spirit fall upon them, if it--and make them shout if they aren't the blessed of God?"
Well, I believe Jesus, in Hebrews the 6th chapter, said that the rain come oft upon the earth to--to prepare it, to bless it and so forth. But in the field the sower went forth and sowed seeds and they were good seeds, but an enemy sowed thistles and thorns and so forth behind it, and when the rain fell upon a wheat field, why, it waters the thistles and thorns just the same as it does the rest of them. That's right. It's the same unction of the Holy Spirit.
Sinners sometimes gets happy and free, but that still doesn't mean they're saved. You have to be borned again to be saved.
