<TITLE>04. Par 14-16</TITLE>L-14 And now, Divine healing is based on His Word. And we know that God is sovereign. He's...
People think that God can just do anything He wants to do. God cannot do anything. God is obligated to His Word. God cannot lie. The Bible says He can't. So there's one thing that God can't do. And when God says anything, and makes a promise, God can't take that promise back, because He's God, and He's sovereign, and He can't go back on that promise. Now, how many believes that's true?
So there'd have to be no more arguing whether... Which I can prove it, or any minister of the Gospel can prove that Divine healing was included in the atonement: "For He was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we're healed." Is that right? That settles it just on one.
Then if it wasn't in the atonement, and God's Word said so, it's right anyhow. 'Cause God is obligated to His Word. God is obligated to His...

L-15 Brother Baxter the other day in a discussion, gave the most beautiful illustration I ever heard on it. He said, "In a certain land there was a righteous king. And the king was going to execute a slave. And the--the laws of the land said that this king must kill this slave. And the slave standing before the king was trembling and nervous.
And the king said, "Now, don't..." Said, "What do you require before I kill you, or have your life taken."
He said, "A glass of water."
And the king give him the glass of water. And he was standing. He could... was so nervous, he couldn't get it to his mouth. It was just spilling all out like that.
He said, "Now, look. straighten up." Said, "I'm not going to take your life until you drink that water." And the slave looked up at him, throwed the water out. Now, the king had to let him go, for his word... He was a righteous king. He was a good man.
And God is more than a good man; He's sovereign. And when He says so in His Word, "Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray believe you receive them." That's whatsoever things you desire. See? "These things that I do, shall you also, for I go unto My Father." That's true. He can't take that back. It's true. God has made the promise. "He was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed." That's true.

L-16 Now, just for a word now, when Jesus Christ... He came to rid sin. You believe that, don't you. All right. Now, sickness is an attribute of sin. Before we had any sin, we had no sickness. Sin came and sickness followed sin as an attribute of sin. We all know that. Any sickness is...
May not your sins. It's either a direct or indirect. It may you inherited it somewhere, the weakness of your people who sinned, and it's dropped down. As He said, "Each generation getting weaker and wiser." But it's either direct or indirect cause from sin.
Now, when Jesus... For instance, like this. If a big serpent was here, or a great big something that had me by the side with his paw, and was hurting me with his paw. Now, it's not necessary for me to have to cut the animal's paw off. But if something hits him in the head and kills his head, that kills him all over.
And when Jesus atoned for sin, He killed sin and every one of its attributes. He killed the serpent from its head. Do you believe that? Now, that's true.
Then if He atoned for sin, He atoned for sickness because sickness is secondarily, an attribute of sin. Our worry, our troubles, our fears, and all those things are attributes from sin.
