<TITLE>02. Par 6-9</TITLE>L-6 I am so thankful for that. Here we have no continuing city, but we're seeking one to come. That's what we all are doing.
I was just thinking, while the brother was reading, just look setting along here at the masses of sick people. I do not claim to be a healer. You'll bear me record of that. From the very first night, until now, I've said I'm not a healer. There's--there's no other man that's a healer. It is Jesus Christ and your faith in Him. If I only had--if I only had the power, I'd go down here and make every one of these sick people well. I haven't the power. No one else has the power. If they ever get well, it'll be their personal faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus brings His Word, and He shows signs that He does love them.

L-7 But God's program is, to contract the people, "If thou canst believe..."
You remember the two blind men? They said, "Have mercy, Lord."
Jesus said, when He touched their eyes, He said, "Now, according to your faith, be it unto you."
The woman that was healed, that touched His garment, He said,"Thy faith has healed thee." Right.
The man with the epileptic child said, "Have mercy on my child."
He said, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible." God doesn't change. The--the people knew He was the Son of God.
All but the church members didn't believe it. The Pharisees, Sadducees, "No, He's not." But as--as many as believed, they got healed, and they got saved. Now, same today.

L-8 But look, before I would try to take away--to take away the only hope that these people have... Do you realize there's people here with heart trouble, cancer, TB, that no doctor can touch? The only hope they have is Jesus Christ. And you who would try to take that away from them, woe unto your sinful soul. Be like taking the bread away from a hungry man. These people want to be well. The doctors done all they can do. And they know of others being well. They come listen at the meeting many of them get faith and they're made well. And then you try to rob them from that? You shouldn't do that, my brother. You should encourage them. They're human beings. They're brothers and sisters. It's somebody's daddy. It's someone's mother, someone's little child. Let's help them. Don't try to keep it away from them.
That's my motive: to try to help someone. And one of these days, I'm coming to the end of the road. I'll be finished then, and I'll lay my head upon the pillow; my works on earth is done. I expect to meet Him in peace. And I hope I hear Him say, "It was well done, My good and faithful servant; enter into Life."

L-9 Shall we pray? Heavenly Father, help us now, that know Your dear Son. And as I approach down the road from whence I have traveled, and renew these things in my mind and heart again. May all my mistakes be stepping stones to those are here today. And may they come to Christ and be saved, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
[Brother Branham speaks to the interpreter--Ed.] Now, you can go ahead and get you a drink now, if that's all right.
I will try not to keep you but just a little while. This is the afternoon, just before the closing of the service. They say they have an overflow in the other arena, and--and I trust you out there will feel the Holy Spirit and come to the Lord Jesus.
Now, the Bible says, "Here we have no continuing city, but we're seeking one to come." People here today from Germany, no matter, their cities might have been torn up in the war, but it's still home to you. Some from France, no matter how bad the city is, it's still home. Some of you from over in the mountains and farms; no matter how small the home was, it holds a memory of the childhood. All of us want to think our cities are the better. Man fights to try to prove that, but it's all in vain. For here we have no continuing city, but we're seeking one to come. That's the one I'm looking for. That's the one we're all looking for. We'll live in the same city. There'll be no more shooting guns, and dying. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... live together for ever.
