<TITLE>13. Par 44-46</TITLE>L-44 Let me show you something just how simple it is. Watch. For instance, I'd cut my hand tonight. I'd use this illustration. I cut my hand. Now, there isn't a medicine in the world that can heal that cut, not a one. Now, that--that's true. Any medicine that'd heal a cut in my hand would heal a cut in my coat. It would heal a cut in this desk. See? It would heal a cut on the floor. Why, you say, "Brother Branham, medicine wasn't made to heal your coat, and your desk, and so forth. It was made to heal your body."
All right. Now, I cut my hand, and I fall down dead. They embalm my body to make me look natural for fifty years, and let the doctor come and give me a shot of penicillin. Put in sulfur drugs. Pour in Tincture Merthiolate. Sew it up, and if I, my body, won't decay for fifty years, that cut will be just exactly like it was when it was cut. Is that right? Well now, if medicine is made to heal a human body, why don't it heal it?
Well, you say, "Brother Branham, life is gone out."
Oh, that's different isn't it? You tell me what life is and I'll tell you Who God is. See, see? Medicine only keeps clean while God builds tissues. He's a Creator. Why, healing is a creation, and there's no one...

L-45 And I want to ask some of you brethren here that believes that Satan can heal. If Satan can heal, he's a creator. He has to. And what have you got then? Satan can't create. He never created nothing. He can pervert, but not create. See? There's only One Creator, and that's God alone. And any healing can't come by man or nothing else. It has to come by the Creator alone.
What if I was out here cranking my T Model Ford, and I broke my arm? And I run in and say, "Hey, doctor, heal my arm right quick; it's broke. I--I got to finish cranking that Ford."
Why, he'd say, "You need healing somewhere else."
Well, that's right. Now the doctor... What can he do? That would be the thing to do. Go to him. He'll set my arm, pull the bones back, and put it under x-ray and see, and put a splint on it. It isn't healed. It's no more healed than it was when I went in. He sets it and leaves it for God to heal. God's the only One can do it. "I am the Lord Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases." Healing is alone in God alone can heal. He's the only Creator, and the only Thing that can heal.

L-46 Now, the doctor can remove a tooth. Who stops the blood? A doctor can cut appendix. Who heals his hole where he cuts? He can cut out a tumor, but who heals the cut? God's the Healer. He removed the tumor, and God done the healing. See? God is the only Healer, never a hospital, never a doctor, never a medicine. If a doctor tells you that he's a healer, you can imagine he's a quack. And when a preacher tells you he's a healer, he's a quack too. That's right, 'cause there's only one Healer. That's God, and that's right--God.
So there's no need of thinking... I don't care how much oil, if it runs out by the gallons, and you claim that Divine oil, it's a antichrist spirit dealing with you. 'Cause what happened to the Blood of Christ if that's got anything to do with it? See? It's absolutely not. It's fantastics, and the devil in the world today like Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses such... That's not in the Bible. There's no such as that. If God wanted you to pour out oil, He'd made you a Texas oil well, or an olive tree, or something. But He made you a human being to preach the Gospel and to bring the Message to the people of the salvation of the finished work of Jesus Christ. Amen. That might be strong, but it's the truth. I'd rather be honest here and tell you the truth than have to answer for it at the day of judgment for you. That's right.
