<TITLE>04. Par 14-18</TITLE>L-14 That's my business here tonight. I don't come as a healer, for I'm not. I don't come as a medical doctor, for I'm not. I know nothing about the body. The only thing that I know; that there is a risen Jesus Christ, and He is the Lord of lord, the King of kings. And I know His Divine promise has promised us that the things that He did when He was here on earth, will be reproduced again.
Now, did He claim to be a healer? No. He never claimed to heal anyone. He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me; He doeth the works." Is that correct? Then what did He do? He was possessed with a power, or endued, I'd say, with a power, excuse me. I didn't mean to say possessed.

L-15 But He was endued with a power from God that He saw visions. And He told His disciples, and all them who questioned Him, that He didn't do nothing until the Father God showed Him a vision on what to do. And He did just what the Father showed Him to do." How many knows, Bible readers, that that's true and that's the Bible, raise your hand. Saint John 5:19, Jesus said, after He passed through all those crippled people, He said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing in Himself," 'cause He never healed a one of them. He healed a man laying on a pallet that had a retarded disease, thirty-eight years. He said, "The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing; that doeth the Son likewise. The Father worketh and the Son worketh hitherto.' In other words, the Father showed Him what to do.

L-16 Now, you Bible scholars, you who have been looking for a superman to come, that does things just at random, he will go out and whatever he wants to do, he does it. That never was in the Bible. And it never will be done by mortal beings in the will of God. If Jesus Christ... No man will ever live a life above His. And no prophet at any time ever did do anything without first God telling him to do it. Search the Scriptures and see if that's right, always. It's not the will of man; it's the will of God being shown to man.
So now, may I explain this to you, that all sin and sickness was settled when God dealt with it at Calvary some nineteen hundred years ago, when His Son died to save us from sin and sickness. "He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed." That's what the Scripture says.

L-17 Now, I don't mean that He made one atonement for your sickness and one for your sins; He made one atonement, and that was for sin. And when you deal with sin, you've got to deal with every attribute of sin.
The human race, as we're taught in the Scripture, didn't have any sickness before sin came in. And then when sin came in, it... Sickness was issued in as a attribute of sin, which had to bring death. Sin is death. And sickness follows sin. Worry, follows sin. Did you ever notice what a horrible thing worry is? There's not one value in it at all.
I was speaking here some time ago to a group of--of--of men at a club in a city. And I--I said, "There's--there's not one value... If you was going to be killed in the morning," I said, "worry would not help you one bit."
I seen one man kinda look down and kinda laugh, and he said, "Well, what would faith do?"
I said, "Sign your pardon."
That's right. Worry, there's no value in it. Faith... So just get away from worry and have faith.

L-18 If the doctor's done all he can for you, the man's done all he knows how to do. He's done to the end of his knowledge; he doesn't know nothing else. And a good honest doctor will tell you, "That's all I can do."
Now, many times he will tell you, "May the Lord help you and bless you." In Mayo's up there, when they turn people down, they say, say sometimes them things, "God, be merciful to you. And if we ever find anything we'll call you back." They're trying to help someone. Trying to make life better for somebody. That's what we all should be doing, trying to help each other as neighbors along life's journey.
