<TITLE>08. Par 42-46</TITLE>L-42 Now, this night as I annou--been announcing it, and tonight, everybody, I believe, is going to have a chance. When one gets tired, the other one can stand. And we can start right now while it's early, I believe, and pray for everyone that wants to be prayed for. And then--I want you to believe me, honestly, dear Christian, I--I don't hardly...
You might not like me, but I don't see how you could keep from believing but what I told you the truth. That's... You--you might not like me. You say, "Now, I don't like... Brother Branham's all right, I guess, but I just don't like him."
Well, that's--that's your--whatever you think about. I want you to like me.

L-43 And if there's anybody that I didn't like, why, I would try to make it right with them. And I'd try to be as sincere and act like a Christian as much as I can, be at my home or anywhere. Everywhere I go I--I've always tried to do what was right, and try to live what I speak about and talk about. And I'd rather any man would live me a sermon than preach me one. For we're written epistles, read of all men. I'd rather live right, and have my name up clear, where my Master could say, "He's a Christian," and the people say, "He's a Christian. I don't know one thing I ever seen him do wrong." And if--or something on that order...

L-44 Now, if I have, if I have found favor with you, and I believe that God has proved to you by the things that I have testified of, three weeks now, that I have testified of the truth. And God has come behind me and testified that I have told the truth. Is that right? Now, that's in above question. That's the truth. And I--I never, never tried to--to express my feelings towards people any more in my life than I'm trying to get you now to believe me.

L-45 I--I say this, dear Christian, that if you will... Now, if you're a sinner in here, and you'll confess your sins, or if you've done anything wrong in life, if you'll ask God to forgive you, and then come through here to be prayed for, believing with all your heart that God is going to heal you... And no matter what's wrong with you, when you get to this platform... Well, if--if you're a--if you're blind, hold your hands over your eyes, and as soon as the hands are laid upon you say, "Lord, I receive my sight." And if--if the person's deaf, or hard of hearing, somebody will teach them that's setting next to them, tell them as they come across the platform, hold their hands on their ears, or something, then when they get here, say, "Lord, I receive my hearing."
Those who are sick, many of you here are past doctors aid. Medical aid can't help you, especially heart trouble, cancer, and so forth like that.
They're trying hard, medical science. I pray for them. There's not a day past but I don't pray that God will give into the hands of men somewhere, that'll find something to help these people. I don't believe we could actually be a Christian without doing that. That's true. Could you imagine some poor suffering person that somebody could do something for to help? When you say, "Pray for medical science?" Yes, sir. I mean that.

L-46 Now, keep your heart towards God. Now, God used remedies Himself. Isaiah went and got some poultice that was made out of figs and put them on Hezekiah to heal him of his boils. And many things was dipped in water. And Jesus put some mud on a man's eyes, mud, the very thing that medicine and things come from.
Medicine does not heal. No doctor could say that medicine heals. Medicine only assists nature. God's the only Healer there is. That's right.
Now, there's lots of doctors when Jesus come on the earth; He never condemned a one of them, never said a thing about that. They're all right. And the day that we're living in, where there's millions and billions of people, and a earth full of germs and diseases, what in the world could we do if we didn't have these things?
