<TITLE>15. Par 50-53</TITLE>L-50 When we were boys we used to go to the carnival, or circus, it was. And say, for instance, I was a little taller than you. And there was a hole up here; we could peek through it. You couldn't see it, yet you were stronger than me. God makes us different ways.
And maybe I could stand on my tiptoes, and then grab a hold of the top of the fence, and pull up real hard. And I'm a... It's just some questions now that you're asking.
"Brother Branham, how is it that these things happen? How can you say to this one out here?" Now, as the Scripture, you know Jesus did the same thing. It's not me; it's Him.
And if you didn't have the faith to reach and get it, it'll never happen. It's your faith. If you ever get anything from God, it'll never come through a preacher or a priest. It'll come through your individual faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ at Calvary.
Divine healing isn't touching a totem pole, or a boil, or something another. It's sovereign faith in the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. Certainly, It's Christ. It's all finished. It's your faith.

L-51 God give things after preaching His Word, sending preachers. He puts gifts. He's not willing that any should perish. He wants you to prosper. He wants you to be healthy. He's died for that purpose, and He wants you to see it. And He does everything that there is, even appearing Himself to prove it to you. And still people set back and say, "Well, it's mental telepathy. It's mind reading. It's of the devil."
And the Jew said the same thing. When they seen it done, they said... The woman at the well, He told her her sins, or the sin that she was doing. When He told Philip down there that He saw Nathanael under the tree, when He--'fore he come over there. The Jew said, "He's Beelzebub."
Jesus said, "I'll forgive you, but when the Holy Ghost is come and does that, you speak a word against that, and it'll never be forgiven you." Prophesying that the Holy Ghost would come, 'cause He's raised from the dead, and He's here in the form of the Holy Ghost, the same Jesus.

L-52 "The things that I do, shall you do. I'll be with you even in you till the end of the world." God's in you. Your faith looks to Him. And He's got gifts and so forth in the church that's contacts that. That's why it keeps happening from in the platform sometimes.
Not me, see? It's a physical part. It's a part that you do. God chose a gift, and it just a chose a--a place to go places. You go out here, and I'll go to Denver, and you all read in the paper of mysterious things happen on the street. I was over there. That's what it was. See?
Nobody knew it but just told me to go over there, many places. My followers and things know about it. He will tell me to go somewhere, stand on the street a certain time; there'll be a certain thing happen. It'll happen just exactly that way. Nobody knows where it come from, where it--what about it. Nobody knows. I just go ahead and do what He tells me to do.
Well, that don't bother me. But right here on the platform, just one vision will just take the life out of you. What is it? It's you.

L-53 Look at Lazarus. He never said, "I got weak when I raised Lazarus." But when a woman touched His garment for a blood issue, He got weak, when a man was raised from the dead, after being dead four days and never got weak. What was the matter? God's used His gift, and a person using God's gift. That's what does it. That's the reason He could perceive. It was her faith moving and...
Just like here, Jesus was, oh, all the water in the ocean. This gift is just a spoonful out of that. But if it's ocean water, the same chemicals will be in the spoonful that's in the whole ocean full. See what I mean? The same quality...
What is it to do? To magnify some man of some church? No, sir. It's to magnify Jesus Christ. If it's given any other from that, God will make you answer for it in the day of judgment. I wouldn't say it takes a gift, 'cause they're without repentance, gifts and callings.
