<TITLE>03. Par 9-12</TITLE>L-9 Now, not nothing against doctors now. Remember, I believe doctors... I have... I say that, because many times people go around say, "Well, a fellow shouldn't have a doctor." I'll disagree with you. No, sir, they're God's agents. Just the same as you need your automobile, that's a scientific discovery. That's right. You get along a lot better with your doctor, but the doctor isn't your healer. God's your Healer. That's right. Your doctor's only assistant to God. That's right. But when the doctor's gone as far as he can go, that's his limit. And he can only work on what he can see and what he can feel. That's all he knows about. But God controls the rest.

L-10 And the doctor doesn't heal anyhow. He can set your arm, but when he leaves the house, your arm's not healed. He just sets your arm and let God heal it. See? When you got appendicitis, he takes the appendix out and leaves it there for God to heal, that's all. Pulls a tooth out, leaves it there for God to heal. 'Cause medicine doesn't build a tissue, it doesn't--it doesn't do that, it's not made... Only life can build tissue and God is life. So they cannot heal, not one thing. They don't claim to. They just simply set the bone, take the operation, give medicine to keep clean and so forth, while God does the healing. That's just simple.
So don't disregard your doctor. If he's a good doctor, a Christian doctor... You know what in my travels? I have in--in the overall picture, in talking in clinics and everywhere where I've been interviewed, I've found more doctors believing in Divine healing than I have ministers. That's the truth. Very seldom I ever hit a doctor that's a quack. That's--that's right. Most of them say, "Well, sure, Reverend Branham, we don't claim to be healers. Why, my, I've seen cases that I knowed was gone and see prayer bring the people right back again." Said, "Well, sure, it's got to be." See, they don't claim to be healers.
Now, we've had some that's narrow minded, and selfish, and think that they do it, so he never gets anywhere anyhow. Just watch him, he will fade out of the picture pretty soon. And a God--a man that trusts God...

L-11 A little friend of mine has been a wonderful little doctor. He believed in God but he just didn't accept Him. And last week, week before last it is now, he was led to Jesus Christ. He said his business and everything had picked up already; he hadn't said nothing about it. I said, "Don't worry, it'll come right along." You just start trusting God and watch how much more successful you are with your patients out there at the hospital and things. Put God first. Pray before you go to the home, and so forth, and find out.
Lord willing, maybe tomorrow night I'll read you that article out of the paper of the American Medical Association, what they said about Divine healing.

L-12 Now, David, or Saul, rather, when he was chosen, a great fellow, fine looking, strapping, straight shouldered, oh, great, head and shoulders above his whole army... They said, "That's our king." And what did it lead them to? Finally, a backslidden condition. And their king backslid.
And now, when God seen that their choice was no good, God went to choose Him a king. So He told Samuel, said, "Fill up the horn with oil and go out to Jesse and I'll... And call his sons up, and I'll tell you when I get there who I have chosen, who I have chosen to be king."
So he went out there. And so, Jesse thought too, like Saul, or Samuel, rather, that this great big fine young... The oldest one of all of them would come out, a big strapping looking fellow, he said, "This is the one that will be king." So he marched out there with his head up, you know. Like people anywhere, they just... That's a psychological effect it has on the people.
