<TITLE>02. Par 4-7</TITLE>L-4 I tried under opposition, of course many times, to represent Jesus Christ as a Healer. A lot of times just being misunderstood, people call me the healer. But I couldn't heal no one, and neither does anyone on earth can heal anyone. Healing only lays in Jesus Christ. See, see?
Here recently, I was reading an article in the paper to see... And that's what causes many people... No doubt there's Fundamentalists and so forth, setting here tonight. I was raised--brought up, ordained in the Fundamental church. You know I was a Baptist. But here's...

L-5 Many times, here's what causes them to criticize on the Full Gospel people. An article was written in the paper here not long ago to a man that said, "The Lord gave me the gift of Divine healing." Said, "He come down in the room, and picked me up, and set me up before His throne, and set me down. He said, 'Son,' he said, 'I'm giving you "the" gift of Divine healing.'" Quickly, that's wrong. There is no such a thing as "the" gift of Divine healing. There's no such a thing in the Scripture. And He said, 'I'm giving you power to open blind eyes, to unstop deaf ears, to cast out demons, to make the blind to see, and the deaf to hear, the lame to walk.'" And he come back to earth, and so forth, and do this.
Now, I'm not here to say that God didn't do that. See? God can do what He wants to. And I--I can't tell Him what to do. But if He did that, He certainly has got His Word mixed up then. And He certainly taken it away from Jesus Christ if He gave it to the man. Yes, sir. He... If--if you bought me a suit of clothes, and the purchasing price of that suit of clothes was fifty dollars; and you gave me fifty dollars, it's not yours any more; it's mine. See? And if He gave me power to open blinded eyes, to unstop deaf ears, it doesn't belong in Calvary no more, it belongs to me. I do what... Now, that might be all right. God might've said He did that. Now the thing I want to see it do; I want to see it work. That's... Then I'll believe it when it works.

L-6 What God in His Scripture... We try to stay strictly with the Bible. And that's the only Foundation that I know of, friends, and that is God's Word. And as long as it's based upon God's Word, then God will be behind it and confirm His Word. See?
And as far as Divine healing... As soon as the boys come in, 'course the--the spirit of discernment... You understand. Many have been in the meetings, know what it was. The boy come in. I seen him come up to Mr. Baxter there; the boy's going to die right away if God doesn't help him, he has cancer. And he went down and talked to the boy...?... Said, "That's exactly right." See, it's... See, that's... Knowing things, that's different... That doesn't heal people. As many of you has been in the meeting this week at Grande Prairie. You see His Spirit do so forth, which is revealed and told to people, why, that cannot be hid. Now, that's... See, that's a divine gift, but Healing is in Calvary. See? It's your faith there.

L-7 Now, a gift of healing doesn't mean that man heals somebody; it means a man that's got faith in divine healing, that can point them to the finished work of Jesus Christ at Calvary.
How many has--has been saved in the last ten years; let's see your hand? been saved in the last ten years? Now, I don't want to different with you, but you wasn't saved in the last ten years. You were saved nineteen hundred years ago; you accepted it in the last ten years. Is that right? Exact. See? You were--you were saved nineteen hundred years ago when Jesus Christ paid the price for the sins of the world (Is that right?) at Calvary. And He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed nineteen hundred years ago. Therefore, every person in this building tonight, that's sick, has been healed since nine--nineteen hundred years ago when Jesus died. There's where God did everything that He could do for the human race, He did it in Jesus Christ. Do you believe that?
