<TITLE>05. Par 19-21</TITLE>L-19 Now, then we have a right then, when we come to God, and ask Him for His help. And that's what we're here for tonight. Now, if I'm telling you that work is already finished, which the Bible declares that it is finished, then what could I do for it, if it's already finished? The only thing I can do is point you to the time it was finished and the Scripture that says it was finished, and that's about all that can be done. It rests within your personal faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ at Calvary. That's the only Gospel that I know that's written in the Bible. The work was finished at Calvary. And we only look to that place. And by faith we draw dividends off of our eternal salvation. This is the earnest of our salvation, the Scripture says.
Then friends, if there's--if there is no earnest to healing, then there's no resurrection of the body. If salvation only pertains to the soul, that when we die and all of our--our corruption of our mind and our thoughts, are changed when we come into the Presence of God... And this change that we have now by the Holy Spirit, if that's the--the earnest of our eternal salvation... Sure, that's the down payment, the proof that there is a place where we'll go beyond temptation, and there'll be no more sin.

L-20 Then there has to be a attribute if there--or, I mean a earnest, if there's a resurrection. And if there's no Divine healing, there's no resurrection; so we believe in the resurrection. And Divine healing is the earnest of our resurrection. I can give you statements of people who's been, according to medical science, laying dead on the cancer society, been dead ten, twelve years ago, living and lively tonight as they can be. What is it? It's the earnest of our resurrection. Now, we look and live; we believe.
Now, Jesus, when He died, after making that promise, He said the same things that He did, that the Church would do, until He returned again. "I'll be with you, in you to the end of the world. The things that I do shall you also. Greater than this," or more than this, "will you do, for I go to My Father."
God was operating through one human being, Jesus. And when He returned to God, He operates universally in every believer's heart around the world.

L-21 I was surprised when I had my first service in Durban, South Africa. When we went in there that afternoon, at the airport there's some thirty-five thousand or more, waiting to receive us. And we walked in the meeting and no more leading into the meeting, the Lord showed a vision of a car coming and a boy with one leg shorter than the other. Have you got that book? I don't know whether the boys has any more or not, "Prophet Visits Africa." And it told him and who he was, and even told him what his name was. Told him he was healed. The boy come running down through there, and he was normal and well. He was examined after bit by some doctors.
The next morning the Medical Association of Africa called me up and asked me to have breakfast with them, which was a great honor. They said, "We open every hospital door to you, Reverend Branham," said, "for you have helped us more."
