<TITLE>07. Par 11-12</TITLE>L-11 And then in Saint John the 5th chapter, and beginning about the 19th verse:
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I said unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show you greater works than these, that you may marvel.'
And now, in Hebrews 13:8 said:
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
May God add His blessings to His Word. I would just like tonight, being that our theme and subject and our heart, and all that we have, and live for is Jesus Christ... I would like to speak a little about Him, of His character, and what He was. The Scriptures...
Someone said, recently, "Rev. Branham, why do you teach Divine healing?" I teach Divine healing because I believe Divine healing. I believe it's in the Word of God. And I--I believe I can sanely and sensibly prove it by the Scripture. And you'd be surprised at the attacks I've had through the years, of everything from witchcraft, Buddhism, throughout the world of all kinds of religions, and cults, and devils, and everything. But friends, by God's help, I've never seen one ever come yet, but what fell in defeat, right there where, while it was going on, because the Word of God will prevail every time.
The reason I want you to read the book, some of the instance, and with their... Every one of them is bona fide, everything is bona fide. You can check it right back.
I've never been scared yet, for as long as I know that God commissioned and sent me to go pray for the sick, it's God's obligation to take care of me while I'm out there praying for the sick. And He will do it.
Now, I--I never did claim, and to be any Divine healer. Now, I am--I am not that, friends. There's no Divine healers. Not even Jesus Christ claimed to be a Divine healer. He said, "It's My Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works. I do nothing. It's Him."
So a man that would claim to be a Divine healer, would just only be, well, he'd just be deceiving. And anything that that man could do, to say that, well, that he could do anything to help you, otherwise, and point you to Christ, the man would be dishonest. There's...

L-12 Divine healing lays in Calvary. And the only thing that you can do is point to Calvary. And there's where your salvation lays. You wasn't saved just five years ago, ten years ago, or twenty years ago, or how long it was. You wasn't saved then. See? You were saved nineteen hundred years ago. When Jesus died at Calvary, He took the sins of the world away. You just accepted your salvation so many years ago. But everything that God can do for both sickness and sin has already been appropriated in Calvary. And the only thing that a minister can do, is to point you to where... what God has already did for you in Christ. Do you understand it?
A man could come to the altar; he could pray all night. He could cry, he could beg, he could plead, walk up-and-down the floors, make restitutions. But until he believed and accepted, he'd still be a sinner. For Hebrews 3 said, "Jesus Christ is the High Priest of our confession," profession, the same translation is confession. He's the High Priest of our confession, therefore, He can't do nothing for us, until first, we confess that He has done it. And then He goes to work as a high Priest, making good what we profess, that He has done. What... And He will make good anything that He included in His atonement. And there He was: "Wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity, the chastisement of our peace upon Him; with His stripes we were healed."
Not, we will be, or we ought to have been, but we were, passed tense, already healed. God did it back there in Calvary, and the only thing we do, is reach up and receive it by faith, and believe it, confess it.
