<TITLE>04. Par 10-13</TITLE>L-10 Well, now look. He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed. You were healed forty years ago, or...? No. Ten years ago? Tonight? You were healed nineteen hundred years ago. The only thing that you can do tonight is accept it. Is that right?
Now, as far as healing, there's not a person in the world that can heal. There's only one in all of the year--of the ages there ever has been, that could heal. There's no doctor can heal. There's no doctor will tell you he can heal. If he does, he's just about as much quack as a preacher is, that tells you he can heal. 'Cause there's just... There's only one Healer; that's God. "I'm the Lord Who healeth all thy diseases."

L-11 A doctor claims to assist nature, not heal. They can cut a place in your hand, and if they'd... If you'd fall dead, and they'd take all the medicine in the world, that hand would never heal, because the life's gone out of your body. Life builds the tissues. They might pull a tooth, but they can't heal the place that the tooth came out. They might cut appendix out, but what about the place where the appendix was taken from? Who heals that? They might set the arm, but they can't heal it. God has to produce the calcium and stuff to heal the arm. So healing is God alone.
I been interviewed at Mayo Brothers twice. So they said, "We don't profess to be healers, Reverend Branham. We only profess to assist nature. There's only one Healer; that's God." And that's correct. No minister can heal you. No. There's no... People who claim to have gifts of healing, gifts of healing don't mean you heal people. It only means you have faith in the Word of God.
Preaching... It never was a preacher saved anybody. He only pointed them to the One that did save them nineteen hundred years ago. Is that right? Then no man could heal you... If Jesus was standing here tonight, with this suit on that He gave me, He couldn't heal you, because He'd tell you He'd already done it nineteen hundred years ago. You'd have to accept it on those grounds, is that right?

L-12 Now, the only thing a minister can do, would be point you to the One Who did save you or the Healer, point you to the One that has already healed you. Now, in doing so, God set in the church, first apostles, and teachers, and prophets, and all kinds of gifts for the perfecting of the body. You believe that, don't you?
Now, that's what I believe, that God has set these in the church, some that can preach like some of the ministers here, and others are great teachers and scholars in the Word. Some are seers and sees vision. Some are those who speak with tongues. Some are those who interpret. Some are those who have great faith in healing; that's called gifts of healing or gift of healing. There is no such thing as "the gift" of healing, 'cause it's in the plural, it's gifts.
God works in many different ways to heal the sick: sometimes preaching the Word, sometimes a neighbor setting by you, and just lay his hand over on you, feel like he should do so. Always do that. Whatever a borned again child of God feels to pray for the sick; that's the Holy Spirit moving in you to do so. No matter who's going to pray for the person, you go ahead and pray for them anyhow.

L-13 We just had something that to happen in Louisiana a few nights back. It was a--a big auditorium. The people... I wasn't going to be there till nine o'clock. And about seven, a lady got a prayer card, and she had a little baby, and she was rocking the little baby. And another poor, little mother setting down there, and she felt so sorry for the little mother with the--with a baby on her arm.
And she said, "Well, I..."
Something just told her, "Go, pray for that baby."
"Oh," she said, "I couldn't do that. Brother Branham will pray for that baby. They got a prayer card." And so the... It just kept going, pushing her to go pray for the little baby. She said, "Oh, I--I..."
