<TITLE>20. Par 78-82</TITLE>L-78 These's people in the land today, say, "I got healing in my hand. Feel it, feel it, feel it." and all just stuff like that. It's nonsense. It's psychology.
But the poor people that's approaching, coming, they're thinking they're approaching God, and God has to honor faith; I don't care where it's at. And they approach God through the witch. They think that they're coming to God, coming through there. And God's got to honor that faith.
That's the reason He said, "In that day, many will come and say, 'Have not I cast out devils and things in Your Name?'" And so forth.
And that man when he heard that, he said, "I want you to come to my college." Mr. Boze is a witness of this, right there at Minneapolis, a Lutheran college.

L-79 I went out there, and my manager went with me and set down there to a great big place of the Scandinavians there, all setting there, these Lutheran students.
He said, "Mr. Branham, I've watched the meetings, and I apologize when I said that you was a--a polished up soothsayer." He said... That's what he called me, a polished up soothsayer. He said, "I apologize to it, and I want you to tell me how--and me and this school can receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost."
I said, "What's the Lutheran church going to do?"
He said, "I don't care what the Lutheran church says. I want God."
I said, "Do all of you feel the same way?"
Said, "Yes."
I said, "Move back your chairs from the table and get around a wall and lean--lean against the wall and start praying." And I went over and laid hands on them. And seventy-two Lutheran students with the dean received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. That's at Minneapolis, Minnesota. That's right.

L-80 What is it? Men and women are hungering for God. The day is here. The Holy Ghost is here. Jesus is here, raised from the dead. Don't speak against It. It's blasphemy, but receive Him. He's here tonight. I believe Christ. Don't you? Yes, sir.
There is a counterfeit. Certainly. What makes a--what makes a real, real? It's because there is a counterfeit. If I seen a bogus dollar, I'd know there'd have to be a real one it was made off of. So certainly the devil gives the impersonation, but there's a real genuine baptism of the Holy Spirit, a real--a real resurrected Lord Jesus, Who's true to His Word; every word He said, He's true.

L-81 Now, let us be in prayer. Now, friends, one more thing. And then, I think tomorrow night, I'll just either preach or call the prayer line. I keep you too late. But I want to ask you something. How many was here at the meeting last night, let's see your hands? How many was not, let's see your hands? Oh, my. It's just... Where's all them that was here last night? We don't...
Here's what it is, friend. Let's listen, just a moment. If a man ever tells you that he's a healer, he's wrong. I have to take a moment to explain this to you newcomers.

L-82 Listen, there is no man that's a healer. Christ is the Healer. See? And it's only our faith in the finished work of Christ at Calvary. It's our personal faith. Salvation, and healing, and every redemptive blessing was included, and every blessing in the redemption was everything that was caused in the fall. Everything we lost in the fall, was restored to us in Calvary.
What is sickness? Attribute of sin. So you can't deal with sin without dealing with sickness, 'cause sickness came after sin which was an attribute of sin. Exactly right. Now, don't say that God makes the people sick, 'cause you cross up your questions there like the Lutheran did. See? So you--you can't do that.
