<TITLE>07. Par 26-29</TITLE>L-26 For the first, about two years... or, a little over two years, about three years, only way I could tell was when I held a person's hand and it would show a strange look upon--on the hand. And perhaps God knew that that was going to cause a little confusion.
Can I say something from my heart, if it's all right? See? There was so many--some people went forth and had strange feelings in their hands afterwards, you know. And they got the wrong impression, thinking you heal people by some feeling that you had in your hand. Many would come to me and say, "Brother Branham, feel and see if I got healing power."
No, I tell you now: you haven't. The only healing power there is lays in Jesus Christ. That's right. That's all. That's all. The only thing you can do, is point people to that. And that's all I can do, or anyone else can do, is to point people to Jesus Christ Who has already healed them.
When He died at Calvary, He paid the supreme price. He paid... All the redemptive blessings that He died for at Calvary, is already paid for before God. The debt is fully paid. And you're excused before God. You're taken out of the pawn shop. That's right. The only thing you have to do, is accept faith in Christ, and walk out of the pawn shop. That's all.

L-27 He's our Kinsman Redeemer. Isn't that right? That God was manifested in the flesh to take our place, to be a Kinsman to us. As in the Book of Ruth, and Exodus, and so forth, how it preaches--teaches there of how the--we become kinsmen to God. And God came down and dwelt in His Son, Christ Jesus, became Kinfolks to us. And He was our Kinsman Redeemer.
And a public testimony was to be made before Israel at--at the gates, as Boaz kicked off his shoes to show that he had firmly redeemed Naomi. And in redeeming Naomi, he got Ruth the bride.
And Jesus, when He redeemed Israel, He got the Gentile Bride. He made a public testimony. He was lifted up between heavens and earth as a Ensign, right outside the gates of Jerusalem. And there's where the supreme price was paid. There's where we was redeemed. And all of our inheritance was lost--our health, our strength, our salvation--all that was lost back there in the fall, was redeemed at Calvary. There it is.

L-28 And my brother, sister, it isn't how graceful you can pray, or how much penance you can do, it's your faith to believe that He's done it for you. That brings you forth. That's right.
Every sinner is saved tonight in the sight of Jehovah God. But it'll never do you any good until you accept it, and believe it, and confess it. And then He's the High Priest of your confession to make it right before God.
And any redemptive blessings... If you're weary... "He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity; the chastisement of our peace is upon Him; with His stripes we're healed." It's already done. You just accept it.

L-29 Now, a minister can take the Word and explain it. I'm uneducated. I do... know too much about the Word, only the plan of salvation and things that God has revealed to me. It never come by seminary or teachings; it came only by revelation of the Spirit. And what I know, I know that God gave it to me. And then, knowing not too much about the Word, He gave these other things that might be a confirmation to you people that I'm telling you the truth.
And God knows of all the... I've preached before millions. But there's never been a time that I've ever said that I had one thing to do with it, it... All glory goes to Jesus Christ, the Son of God Who redeemed you back there. And I only can speak and say as He speaks and says.
And I believe tonight, if I was leaving the building tonight to never to return again, I believe you people would have to give a witness that's been in the meetings, anywhere in the nation or out of the nation, that knows that every time that the patient... When I set down with a patient, no matter who they are, when or where.
