<TITLE>15. Par 50-54</TITLE>L-50 I said, "Here's one of them, Mayo's nurse, one of Doctor Mayo's, from Mayo's clinic, one of their nurses. We want to collect the thousand dollars."
He said, "Well now, we'll go over here, and we'll take a person, a little girl, and I'll cut her hand with a knife, and then you hold it out before my brethren, and heal it, and then we will believe it."
I said, "Brother, you're the one who needs healing from a mental deficiency." I said, "That--that is really..." I said, "Anybody would even think that, there's something wrong up here." See? That's... I said, "It's the same old spirit that said, 'Come down off the cross and we'll believe You.'"
The same old spirit said, "Do a miracle here before me, and we'll believe you."
I said, "Brother, you're... I pray that God... I love you, and that's not of hypocritically." I said, "But I love you, and I pray that someday God will have mercy on your sinful soul."
He said, "I don't sin."

L-51 And I said, "What is sin? Sin is unbelief." That's the only sin there is, is unbelief. I said, "Certainly it's sin."
Now, let's us not be sinners, unbelievers, tonight, but let's throw our faith together and believe with all of our heart. Will you do it while we pray for the next fifteen or twenty minutes? All right.
[Brother Branham asks someone--Ed.] "You still giving A's? Oh, F's, give out prayer card F's. I thought a couple days, there was a couple hundred of them. All right. We're changing tonight to prayer card F then. How many did you give, a hundred? A hundred F's. Let's start from... Let's start from 20 tonight. Who has F-20. See if I'm... F-20? 21 Who has F-21, raise your hand. See if we're all right now.

L-52 Look at your neighbor's card. They may be deaf, dumb maybe. Watch these cards on the cops, and so forth. And...
You got a prayer card, lady? Yeah. All right. You got a prayer card there? All right.
F-21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. Now, let them line up first, right here. All right.
All right. While they're coming... Now, look around. If there's anybody that can't get up, well, you--you just raise your hand and we'll have the ushers to pack them up here. See?
All right. Now, that's, I think, 20 to 30. Now, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, let them come next now. All right. That would be 20 to 35. Now let them stand first now: F-20 to F-35. Now, we see how they line up. Maybe we can get some more and find out now.

L-53 Now, want your undivided attention now for the next few moments. Now listen, dear friend, this is your meeting. Now, I... tonight, speaking on this, after...?... explain the healing services...
Now remember, I do not believe that there's any virtue in any man to heal somebody. I don't believe that there's any power that any individual has to heal somebody with. I believe that two things that cannot be done: that no one can forgive sins or heal sickness. Remember that. No one can do it, because Jesus has already did it at Calvary, and you accept it as your personal faith in His finished works. Do you believe that? Say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] See? You...

L-54 Now God has set some signs in the Church. First, a preacher. that's the best sign, preaching the Word. Now, if it would be me. If you couldn't take my word for it, that would settle it. But not our Father; then He puts others in the Church. After preachers, He puts teachers; He puts prophets; He puts gifts of healing. That don't mean that they heal now; that means faith in healing. You see?
Just like preaching, the same way, it's not no power to heal with. When you claim you got power to heal with, then you take it off of Calvary.
I believe if you claim that, brother, to my... If I'm wrong, you forgive me. But the way I see the Scripture, that it's already finished. How could...
