<TITLE>08. Par 28-31</TITLE>L-28 He said, "Once more will I look to Your holy temple, Lord." For he knew that when Solomon dedicated the temple, he prayed, "God, if Thy people be in trouble at any time and look to this holy place, then hear from heaven."
And he believed it. And he looked away from the whale's belly and all the symptoms that there was around him, and looked to the temple of God. And God heard out of heaven and sent an oxygen tank down there real quick. And it kept him alive for three days and nights and took him over to the place, like a taxi cab ride and put him out. And he preached so, that a city the size of St. Louis repented. Amen.
Now, if Jonah under those circumstances... There isn't no one here that bad off tonight. At least you got both feet on the ground. But notice, under those circumstances, could refuse to look at it and look towards the temple, where a man that finally backslid, Solomon, had prayed a prayer of faith under an earthly temple, how much more under you in your condition look away to the heavenly throne where Jesus sets at the right hand of God, with His own Blood making intercessions upon your confessions and bidding you to come. Then symptoms fly away when we get it there. When we go to looking that, we look up.

L-29 Someone come, not long ago, and said, "You, Brother Branham?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
Said, "Oh, I tell you what I done." He said, "I went over to Oral Roberts and asked him to do something for me." He said, "He done his best, but he couldn't help me." He said, "I went over to two or three more evangelists and they prayed for me," said, "couldn't help me." Said, "I come to see what you could do for me."
I said, "You're going away the same way." I said, "That's one thing sure." I said, "You're going to the wrong place. You keep running around after men, when he ought to be looking up this a way." Help cometh from above. See? They're fine men. They can pray, but that's all we can do is pray for you.

L-30 Your faith contacting God, brings the results. Jesus said when He died, or, "He was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed." Then there's no man can save you. Jesus already done it. You just have to accept it. Preacher can preach to you, but he's not a saviour. He's just a help, that'll help you see what God has already done for you.
Every person in here was saved nineteen hundred years ago. You might accepted it last week, last night, six years, twenty years ago, but you were saved nineteen hundred years ago, as far as God is concerned. And you were healed at the same time. Amen. You have to believe it.

L-31 And God sends some in the Church, first apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, sets gifts in His Church: speaking with tongues, interpretations, all kinds of signs and things, for the perfecting of the Church, to bring the people together, and let them know that He is the living God, living among His people.
Then you look at that and believe it. By faith you look at Calvary, where the supreme Sacrifice was paid for every individual. And it's yours tonight. Every person here that's sick tonight is already healed, as far as God is concerned. Amen.
Oh, I love it, don't you? Just kind of makes me feel religious to talk about it. To think of how wonderful, when we couldn't help ourselves, then God brought us help.
