<TITLE>09. Par 47-51</TITLE>L-47 So dear Christian people if you've got a human heart, let's look at the thing right. Now, taking medicine or anything hinders your faith, keep away from it. See? But I will tell you...
Now, I know you said, "Well, I know doctors that laugh at Divine healing."
I do too, and I know preachers that laugh at it too. That's right. Many of them laugh at it. Frankly, to be honest with you and my Bible, I found more unbelieving preachers in Divine healing than I have doctors. 'Cause many, many, fine doctors comes to my place to be prayed for. And we set right down in the room, heart to heart, and talk. I never have heard a one yet, but what didn't tell me, "Why, Brother Branham, I believe." And especially a surgeon, said, "I've laid people out," and said, "why they just quit breathing. We'd take them down and after while they start; there they go again, breathe and get well. What did it?" He said.
I said, "God."
He said, "You're right." Said, "We might move an appendix that's ruptured, but we can't heal the place we cut. God has to do that."
A dentist could pull a tooth out, but who's going to heal that socket?
Medicine does not build tissue. Medicine only keeps the thing clean. A doctor might set a bone in your arm, but he can't produce the calcium and stuff that heals the arm. God has to do that. That's right.

L-48 And just like in the realms of the Pentecostal church... Oh, I don't want to say this or not, you might not love me so much. But if you had kept fanaticism down, and kept it running clean and clear, this world out here is a hungering for what you got. That's right. If you'd a let--add to the church daily such as be saved, and not broke off your little denominations and fussing with one another, the Church had been gone on in glory long ago. That's right. Amen. That's right. Amen. Thank you.

L-49 And that's the sole purpose of my ministry, is to see God's Church welded together. See? Don't make any difference what the other one believes, that's all right.
If you're borned again of the Spirit of God, you are a Christian. See? For you're born again. See? But you must be borned again. Must be borned of the Holy Ghost, must come into your life, and that makes you a Christian. That seals you until the day of your redemption.
As long as you live right, and keep Him with you, you'll make it, Ephesians 4:30: "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed until the next revival? until the day of your redemption." That's right.

L-50 The Holy Spirit witnesses, and receives you, and God receives you and puts His seal upon you, and He brands you.
I've herded a few cattle. I remember when we used to bring the yearlings in, branding time. We'd go out there and have to throw them down with a rope and hold them, and get a big old hot brand and come out and stick it on it; he'd bawl and snort awhile. But brother, he was all fixed up. We knowed who he belonged to.

L-51 Sometimes somebody have to get out yonder and burrow around a little while. But when the Holy Ghost burns all the devil out of you, you know what side you're on from then on. That's right.
Jerk the hobbles off of him, he will almost have a running fit, but he--he is branded, brother.
I'm telling you, I've seen them come up from the altar have a running one too, just as hard as they could go. But they were branded.
When the Holy Ghost ever seals you into the Kingdom of God, there's something happened that you'll remember as long as you live. That's right. No matter where you wonder, you'll still remember that, and you'll be--you'll be haunted till the day you die if you don't serve God from then on. That's right.
Yes, like the dove that went out of the ark. She went out and she couldn't find no rest for the soles of her feet till she come back and knocked on the ark door. She come back.
