<TITLE>03. Par 7-9</TITLE>L-7 And all good things comes from God. What will we do if we had no doctors, had no health and hygiene, and--and had no hospitals? Wouldn't it be awful? But remember, there isn't one thi--or one dose of medicine that can heal you. There's no doctor will tell you so. I have been interviewed by some of the greatest doctors of the world. I've been to Mayo's clinics for interview... (Mayo)... And many of the fine doctors come to my home to be prayed for. So they say with a big sign; "We do not claim to be healers. There is only one Healer; that is God. We only claim to assist nature." (Assist.) So if the greatest clinic in the world said that, well, that ought to settle it. We'll get into teaching later in the week, but I want to show you how simple healing is.
Perhaps, if I cut my hand with a knife... Now, listen close. There isn't a medicine in the world that can heal a knife cut. Now, just be reverent and just use your thinking. There's not a kni... not a medicine that can heal a knife cut. If a medicine was here would heal a knife cut, it would heal a knife cut in my coat. It would heal a knife cut on this desk. If it'd heal a knife cut, it'd heal a knife cut anywhere. Water that would be wet in here would be wet outside. A medicine that would heal a cut in my hand, would heal a cut in my coat.

L-8 Now, you're going to say to me, "Brother Branham, you're--you're becoming a fanatic, because medicine was not made to heal your coat. Neither was it made to heal the desk, but it was made to heal your body." Then I'll ask you one thing then. If I cut my hand and I fall down dead, I know that Germany has some of the smartest doctors in the world. Many fine doctors from America come here to be educated. You're a very smart people. But you could take me to your best clinic, and your best doctors could visit me every day, embalm my body, that would make me look natural for fifty years. And every day they could give me penicillin, sulfur drugs, sew up my hand, and fifty years from now, that cut would be just exactly like it was when it was cut here at the pulpit. Why, you say, "Sure, Brother Branham, the life is gone out of you." Well, that--that's right.
Now, if medicine is the healer, it doesn't need the life. But if life is the healer, then that is God. You tell me what life is, and I'll tell you Who God is. God is Life. Medicine doesn't build tissue. It's life, and that's God.

L-9 A doctor... If I broke my arm, I'd go to the doctor. If he's the healer, I'd say, "Heal my arm, doctor."
Why, he'd look at me as if I was crazy. He'd say, "Mr. Branham, I'll set your arm." Now, if he's the healer, then I have to come out with a well arm. But he's not the healer. He just sets the bone to keep it in place while God heals it. That right? Uh-huh, yes.
If I have appendicitis, ...(appendicitis)... [Someone helps with the word and Brother Branham thanks them.--Ed.] Thank you. [Brother Branham laughs--Ed.] If I have appendicitis, the doctor could cut the place out--cut the appendix out, but he--he can't heal it. He cuts a big hole in me and leaves it there for God to heal. Is that right?
So medicine doesn't heal. But we're thankful for all these aids. Automobiles, airplanes, soap to wash your hands with, glasses to wear when you get old, false teeth when you--yours come out; all these things, we're thankful, because they come from God. We're appreciate them.
