<TITLE>03. Par 6-7</TITLE>L-6 It's not that anybody can heal you, or bring healing, or God bring any healing. It's your faith in His finished work. So he said, "It wasn't finished there at Calvary for healing." He said, "Now, in Matthew the 8th chapter," I believe it is. He said, "Mr. Branham," he said, "the Bible said that He healed the people that was brought to Him that it might fulfill which was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: He bore our infirmities and so forth."
I said, "Do you apply it there, brother?"
He said, "Yes."
I said, "How could that be the atonement when it was a year and six months before the atonement was ever made?" He hadn't yet been glorified. The Blood had never been shed. So if that be the case, the atonement had more power before it was actually in force then it did after it was in force. So how could we do that?" I said, "That was about a year and six months before He was crucified." The Blood had never been shed yet. So how could that apply to the atonement? And so then he went to using great big words. And I said, "Kind, sir, I don't have the gift of interpretation." I said, "I--I--I can't understand what you're talking about. Just plain King James, I understand it better." So I said, "Well, let's see..." He just kept talking. I said, "Well, now brother, look, I'm going to ask you something. Will you admit that Divine healing is in the Word? 'Cause Mark 11:24 said, 'Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe.'" See?
Oh, he said, "Yes." Said. Now, he said the wrong thing there. He said, "This is in the Word, 'cause whatsoever..."
I said, "Jesus said, 'Whatsoever things... And the things that I do, shall you also.' What about that?"
And he said, "Well, you're trying to run off on Mark 16."
I said, "No, sir, I--I'm trying to get you to Mark 11."

L-7 And He said... I said... He said, "Yes, it's in the Word," but said, "not in the atonement."
Well, I said, "The Word's over the atonement."
"Oh," he said, "It can't be."
I said, "It is." And I said, "Look. There was a king one time that made all of his laws and rules. And he had--he made all the laws and the penalties. He was a just man. He was a truthful man. And one time there was a slave committed a crime. And at the judgment seat the king said, "I'm sorry, sir, but I have to take your life, because it's written right here in my laws that you have to die for this penalty. And I'm a--a man that's just. I can't go back on my word, and here is my law says that you must die. So I have to take your life." And the poor fellow started trembling. He said, "Well, what can I do for you before I take your life.
He said, "Give me a glass of water." He took the glass of water; he couldn't hold it, the man knowed his head was going to be cut off. And he just shaking.
He said, "Now, wait a minute." He said, "I'm not going to take your life till you drink the water." The slave throwed it on the ground...?... I said, "What's he going to do now?" Is his word above his law? He has to stay with his word if he's just.
He said. "That was a slip up on the king."
I said, "Then God put it in His Word not in the atonement, He'd had a slip up too?" Not our God. He don't have no slip ups. That's right; He doesn't.
