<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 Now, we have great things that we can do in the--the realm of faith. Faith works great things for us, and if you brethren here getting your... And you can't have faith till you have love. That's just all there is to it. You just... Perfect love casts out all fear, and you... As long as you got fear you can't have faith. So you got to have love first. It drives all fear out, and then--then faith comes in, takes the place of fear. So when you have that you're coming right along.
Now, I was thinking of how that Jesus or God said in Psalms 103:3 "I'm the Lord Who healeth all of thy diseases." Well, we look today and we see science and they're doing great things. Doctors are making great operations; and great things are taking place. We see the chiropractics on the up... on the... marching up, and we see the practitions on the march, and everything that we see is moving upward, and then also the Church of the living God is moving upward. Why, things are happening today that ten, fifteen years ago people thought would've been a perfect impossibility for things to happen, but today we're seeing it happen.

L-6 Someone said, "Well now, Brother Branham, you're an apostle or a prophet?"
I said, "I never said either one." Said, "I said, 'I was a servant of the Lord.'"
He said, "Well, do you believe that you have the Holy Spirit?"
I said, "Yes, I believe that."
He said, "Well if you have, why don't you go out here to the hospital and say, 'All the sick people get up and follow me out because you're healed. I come to make you well.'"
I said, "I want to ask you something, brother. Do you believe you're a minister?"
"Yes."
"Do you believe in salvation for the soul?"
"Certainly."
I said, "Why don't you go down to the taverns and say, 'All you sinners come on. You're saved.'"
He said, "Well, I could if they'd believe."
I said, "So could I." Yeah. So that's it. That's what it takes. It's the individual's faith in the resurrected Lord that brings the results.

L-7 Now, here's what it all amounts up to, friends. I'm very thankful for the ad--advanced science. By the way, a science made a remark the other day and said, "If the world could stand a thousand years... (I'll put nine hundred and fifty off of that.) If the world could stand another thousand years that surgery will be a thing was never even thought of." He said, "That the people were getting so smart and getting into the realms of--of--of the spirit that surgery will not have to be performed any more."
I said, "Praise the Lord." I believe that. That when man's hearts begin to get right with God, and straighten up, and look the proposition right in the face, then I believe surgery won't have to be performed. And I... If--if they would stop. I'm very thankful for the hospitals, and medical science, and--and what we have learned along the line, but here's my application to all of it, friends. When ministers, and doctors, and chiropractors, and all can get right with God, and they move on forward with our arms together, and our hearts together for the benefit of humanity, it'll be a great day when that happens.

L-8 That's... And all selfishness and everything is gone. The minister is... The doctor becomes angry with the minister because most of the time it's the bread and butter ticket, and he wants to get put the Divine healing away from the people. Then that makes the minister talk about the doctor when they ought to be working hand in heart together for the Kingdom of God, trying to help their brother or sister that's in need. And I hope to see the day that when the--the Church of the living God become so strong in faith until those things will take place.
