<TITLE>10. Par 38-42</TITLE>L-38 And the nurse got down to see what she was saying. She said, "Have Brother Branham to ask God to let me die. I can't die." She couldn't eat. They couldn't find no more veins. And there she was just laying there wasting away. Brother Baxter, and Brother Lindsay, Brother Moore, myself, and two or three ministers, and the nurses, and the loved ones of the home; I said, "Let us bow for prayer." And when I started to pray...
My Bible is open before me. And our heavenly Father is near to listen to what I have to say, and what you...
Just as I started to pray, I said, "Our Father Who art in heaven," a little dove flew at the window. And he started going, "coo, coo," walking back and forth, "coo, coo." And all the time I was praying, he cooed. And when I raised up, the ministers started to say, "Did you detect the dove?" And as I raised up, the dove flew away. And as I started to say that I heard the dove... As you see here it here in the night, I had no control of what I was going to say, and said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, you'll live and not die."

L-39 We have a letter from her now. She weighs a hundred and thirty five pounds, in perfect, normal health. My secretary's wife sets here; she sends a picture of a different-looking person; you wouldn't even know her, from them bones, from all the medical doctors that could be gathered together.
What was it? Was it my prayer? No, it was her faith in what Jesus did for her nineteen hundred years ago. Just as you was saved, nineteen hundred years ago, and from sin and shame, you were brought to fellowship with God, not because Jesus saved you, last night or last year, but because at that time you accepted what He had already done for you. "And He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed."

L-40 Now, if you will accept now what He done for you then... Now, He is the... Hebrews 3:1. He's the High Priest of our confession. Now, anyone who knows the Scripture, knows that that word is written "profession," but the same word's translated "confession." In other words, He cannot save you by the merits of your prayer. He cannot save you by the merits of your enthusiasm or your good works. He saves you by the merits of your faith and your confession. "For if you will confess Me before men, him will I confess before My Father and the holy Angels." And whatever of any re... Listen close. Any redemptive blessing that's written in the Word...
Now, there's no need of you arguing of it, whether it's in the atonement. If it's in the Word, God is sovereign and has to fulfill His Word. "For heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word will not pass away." If God said so...

L-41 God is worth no more than His Word. And if His Word is no good, than He is no good. If your word... If I can't put no confidence in what you say, you're no good. But you're just as good as your word is. And God is just as good as His Word is. And I, as a Christian believer, I believe that this Bible is inspired, and It is written by the Holy Spirit, and It is the infallible Word of God. And God is under obligation to His Word, to the believer that will accept His Word. And any Word is a seed. If you accept it in your heart by faith, and believe it, and confess it, God will bring it to pass.

L-42 Now, may I say this again, as many time newspapers, magazines, across the world has said, called me a Divine healer. Remember, that is an error. I'm very thankful for the reports that I've had in the magazines and papers. I've had about two or three out of all that was hostile. Most all of them were very kind. "Post Dispatch," and "Chicago Tribune," and all those there, you read it in the book there. And the time where you can send right back to the papers and get them, where, the people come in and were even healed themselves, reporters, and so forth. Where they went and examined the cases, to see, taking time; instead of just--just shutting off their vision, and saying, "Well, he don't belong to my church."...
