<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>55-0806, Jesus Christ The Same Yesterday, Today, And Forever, Methodist Campgrounds, Campbellsville, KY, 114 min
L-1 Thank you, Brother Neville. Good evening, friends, and you can be seated if you will. We're glad to be here tonight in the service of the Lord. So happy to be down here in this lovely state of Kentucky again, my home state. No matter where you ever go, there's something about where you were born and raised that always makes you long to get back. I haven't had many meetings in Kentucky, especially the type of meetings of this type of praying for the sick and so forth. But I have preached quite a bit in Kentucky, a little further down at, on near Glasgow or Burkesville, rather, where I was born. I don't know whether any of you knows the old Methodist Church just above Renox Creek up there, just out of Glasgow, called Whitehill; there's where all my people are buried, practically all of them here, and that died here in this state. And we've had a many a good time out there at the church. Used to be on--on the Decoration Day I used to go there to hold services. And I certainly had a many a great blessing from our Lord.

L-2 Now, just in... My good friend the Woods, that's your neighbors from down here, they have been talking to me of coming down here at this campgrounds and holding a night or two service. We love the Lord Jesus so well up our way. We've learned to love Him with all of our heart. And we know that you love Him down here also. And we thought that maybe coming down here would... Bringing our fellowship together that we would just love Him awhile together. And that's what we're here for. And we come as no denomination, interdenominational, our services are that way. And we just love the Lord Jesus, and we want to have fellowship with you people around His blessings.

L-3 And of course the phenomena of praying for the sick and the great success that the Lord has given has been a worldwide scope. And we're always glad to fellowship and pray with the sick. Many people in magazines and so forth, you've heard them say, "Brother Branham, the Divine healer." Well, that--that's an error. You know, sometimes newspapers and magazines gets it mixed up a little. I'm not a Divine healer; I'm just a... your brother. Christ is your Healer. See? And that healing He done for you at Calvary.
And I--I'm a firm believer in praying for the sick. I do not believe that people can heal one another. That's not Scriptural. And I believe that Christ died that we could be healed; He did that at Calvary when he paid for our sins. For "He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed." And it's the individual's personal faith in the finished work of Calvary what saves him from his sins or heals him from his sickness. It isn't the individual that's praying; that will help. But it's not the person that... The minister cannot save or neither can he heal. He just preaches and represents what Christ has already done for you at Calvary. And I'm sure all you minister brothers believe that, and your congregations.

L-4 I want to say to the Methodist church and the community who has graciously given us the privilege for these two nights and a afternoon service here on your campgrounds. I trust that it will turn to you in many great blessings, that our gracious heavenly Father will do that. I come as a stranger almost to you, only by mail or some way, or by writing. And you just open up the grounds, never asked me any questions, just give it to me. And I will only try to do you good while I'm here. And I trust that our Lord Jesus will save all the sinners that's in the community, and will... You will just have your churches overflowed with new members after these meetings. And all that doesn't know Him in the way of forgiveness, and doesn't know Him as personal Saviour, I trust that they'll be forgiven and saved before the services close.
