<TITLE>02. Par 4-5</TITLE>L-4 So now, tonight we are back over in the blessed old Bible; that's just about all I know about it. And my ABC's... How many know what the ABC's of the Bible is? Always Believe Christ. That's the--that's the ABC's of the Bible.
So last evening we was trying to speak on Abraham. And I got part of the way through to my text, and we had to hurry. So I thought, maybe, tonight I'd finish it up and give us a chance to dismiss a little earlier. And maybe tomorrow night, being the great press... Tomorrow night is closing of this convention, and usually on that night, there's more takes place than any other night; because it's the--the pressure, the anticipation. And many times, as far as the healing that they press hard, and they know they've got to have faith right now or not have it at all; so they press right up. And usually our Lord does great things for us. So we're expecting tomorrow night... And will you pray with me that there will not be one sick or feeble person left among us? Now, will you hold onto God for that for me tomorrow night? And I know that He was wounded for our transgressions, and with His stripes we were healed.

L-5 Someone not long ago was discussing it with me, and a very fine scholar. And he could speak words that I know nothing about. And so he said, "Brother Branham, I believe you're sincere," but said, "I am sure that you're wrong when you teach Divine healing, because you can't place Divine healing in the atonement." He said, "Do you preach Divine healing from the atonement?"
I said, "Every redemptive blessing is by the atonement."
And He said, "Well, if--I'll prove to you that it isn't in the atonement..."
I said, "Well, I--I would sure like to hear it."
And He said, "You preach what Isaiah said about Christ, that bore our infirmities and so forth?"
I said, "Yes, sir, that's..."
He said, "If I'll prove to you that that was fulfilled, will you accept it?"
I said, "If it's proved by the Bible, I--I will." And I knew he was just fresh from school, and I--I never went any farther than the seventh grade, so I--I know he was more than a match for me in--in wits like that. But I knowed Who I had believed (See?), the Lord Jesus. And I know that He's the Healer, 'cause He healed me. I was blind and now I see. So I--I know He's the Healer. And I seen Him heal tens of thousands of people, or seen people accept their healing. That's the way it is. It isn't... The Lord doesn't heal you now; He's already done it. Every redemptive blessing has already been finished at Calvary; you just look and live. That's the way it is.
