<TITLE>07. Par 22-25</TITLE>L-22 Now, let's get that on our mind. Get... or that on our mind, not what... Now, I believe doctors. Sure. We're not against medical doctors and so forth; they're all right. But doctors don't heal you. God heals you. Doctor don't claim to be a healer. He might be able to sew up a place you've cut, or take out a appendix, pull a tooth, but he can't heal you. There never was a doctor ever healed you.
Let me stop here just for a moment on that subject. There's not a medicine in the world that can heal you, and never did claim to be. Medicine don't heal, medicine only aids nature while God heals. A doctor can set a bone if you break it, but what if I... If my lights was out at the house, and I'd go to call an electrician, before he proved to me he's an electrician, he has to fix my lights, or they're not fixed. But you go and break your arm, and take it in to the doctor, say, "Hey, doc, hurry up and set my arm; I got to go plow the potatoes. Ge--ge--get my arm fixed. Heal my arm right quick, doc."
"Why," he'd say, "what?"
"I got to crank up my car, out there, I just broke my arm. Heal it right quick for me."
He'd know there's something wrong. See? Sure, 'cause he's not a healer. He just sets your arm, and then God does the healing.
"Why," he'd say, "I can't heal your arm."

L-23 "Well, I thought you was a healer." No, no. He's not a healer; he's just a man. He can set your arm by his knowledge of your bones and--and so forth, he can set your arm, but he can't heal it. He can take out appendix, but he can't heal it. See? He could pull a tooth, but he can't heal it; God has to heal it.

L-24 Wished you could take a study, we had time to go through the body, just what little of my... that I know, by the grace of God, know a little about the anatomy, but how the blood cells... There's not another thing in the world... If you'd could ever cut a vein... Stop a water vein up out here and watch what takes place. It'll go right straight back. and if that hadn't have happened to you, if God didn't bypass it, you'd die as soon as you scratch yourself, it'd be over. See? But God has made a way. What a wonderful thing God has made of us.
But now, for--for instance, all the fine medicines we got... And I salute every one of them. Thanks be to God for them. And... But all the medicines we got, we haven't got one medicine that can guarantee to cure a bad cold. How many you think die every year in America with bad colds? Millions, with bad colds.
We ain't got a medicine that could heal a knife cut in your hand. All the medicine we got would never heal a knife cut in your hand. If I cut my hand tonight with a knife, there isn't a medicine in the world can heal it. "Oh," you say, "Brother Branham..." Well, that's exactly right.
Now, if we got a medicine that could heal a knife cut in my hand, it would heal a knife cut in my throat, or a knife cut in this desk. If it'd heal a knife cut, it'll heal a knife cut no matter where it's at. But it won't heal a knife cut.

L-25 "Why," you say, "Brother Branham, now you're getting off the line, because medicine wasn't made to heal your coat, to heal the desk, it was made to heal your body."
All right. I'll cut my hand tonight with a knife, and I'd fall down here dead, you'd take my body out, and embalm it, and let a doctors, the best in the world, come every day and give me a shot of penicillin, and put sulfa drug in it, and whatever they want to, sew it up, and embalm my body with a fluid and make me look natural for fifty years, in fifty years from now that knife cut would look just exactly like it was when it was cut in the first place.
Now, if medicine heals the body, why don't it heal the body? If medicine's a healer, why don't it heal? "Oh," you say, "the life's gone." Well, that's different. Now, which is the healer, life or medicine? Life is, and what's life? Life is God. See? He came that you might have a life abundantly, the abundance of life. And it's your attitude towards Divine Life what determines this.
