<TITLE>15. Par 40-41</TITLE>L-40 And The doctor said, "One mouthful of food, solid food would send you to the grave." Said, "Don't you let no solid food hit your stomach."
That's what he said, and the Lord said, "I'm the Lord that healeth thee." Whom am I going to believe? I chewed up that big onion. Oh, how good it tasted. I--I swallowed it down, just as soon as it hit there like bul--a coal of fire went right down hit like that and come back up again. I held my hand over my mouth, swallowed again. Come back again; and I swallowed it again. No, sir, we had a--a bouncing party there for awhile. I swallowed it back; it come back. And I swallowed again, come back, and I'd swallow again. Got me another one, held my mouth, poked that one in, swallowed again. Called the doctor. Doctor said, "It'll kill him sure as the world."
I said, "Hallelujah, I'll die happy."
I went on down through there. Went out in the yard, everybody said, "How are you, Brother Branham?"
I said, "Wonderful."
"Stomach bothering you any more?"
"No, not a bit."
That's right, going on like that. I'd believed it. Yes, sir. Went on like that, and that night when I started to lay down, oh, my, there it was, every bit laying right in the same place. Say, "Want anything for eat, for supper, honey?"
I said, "Open another can of beans and slice some more onion." Yes, sir.

L-41 I knowed God's Word is the truth! That's all. And I poured some more on top of that. It laid right there till breakfast, and I had me two fried eggs and some more ham the next morning for breakfast. I kept on like that week in and out. And I was so nervous, looked like trees was running together and say, "How you feeling, Brother Branham?"
I said, "Wonderful. Hallelujah."
Stomach bothering you any more?"
"No, sir. No, sir."
"Are you all right?"
"Sure, I'm fine, doing good."
"How it happen?"
"The Lord healed me."
He said, "Brother Branham, you lied."
"No, I never; no, I never."
When I accepted Him as my Healer, He healed me nineteen hundred years ago, it was settled in my soul. No matter what this was here; in my soul it was settled. I was testifying not how the body felt, what the old soul thought about it. And my Spirit said, "Christ is your Healer."
I said, "I believe You, Lord." I stayed right with it.
One day I kept poking it down, and poking it down, and it all left. I eat anything I want to. Went on gained about thirty-five, forty pounds and feel fine. Oh, He's a Healer! But you'll have to show your faith in Him. And don't you think it's on a... You're going to a picnic; you're going on a battleground. That's right. You're not to a picnic where everything is handed down to you in a silver spoon. You got... "If... I must fight if I must reign, increase my courage, Lord." See.
 Must I be carried home to heaven
 On a flowery bed of ease,
 While others fought to win the prize,
 And sail through bloody seas?
 No I must fight if I must reign,
 Increase my courage, Lord;
 Help me and support me,
 By Thy Everlasting Word.
Yes sir, stand on God's Word.
