<TITLE>19. Par 61-63</TITLE>L-61 He said, "Who touched Me? Who touched Me?" Everybody denied it, but being the fullness of God in there, He looked around with that discernment. He could perceive their thoughts. Is that right? I want to ask you brethren something now while we're together. What is the difference of perceiving a thought or reading a mind? You see, the mind readers, the psychic readers, are... All those things would've been real gifts of God, but they're perverted. The devil can't create nothing. He just perverts what God has created. It's... What is righteousness? What is sin? It's righteousness perverted.
I want to make a point. Excuse me, sisters. You married men, it's legal and righteous: you have a wife that you have married, and legal procedure of human rights, you can live with your wife, make love to her, and she is a--she is your wife. And that's just as legal, and the Bible said, "The bed is undefiled." But the prostitute, or the unrighteous woman can be just the same thing that your wife was: But to go with her is to pervert what; righteousness into unrighteousness. You understand what I mean? Now, I thought maybe that remark would get you to where you could see what I'm speaking of.

L-62 Unrighteousness is righteousness perverted. The devil cannot create. That's the reason the devil can't heal. Only God can create, and He's the only One that can heal. See? The devil can pervert, but cannot create.
So then, the woman touched His garment, and she was satisfied. She run off, and Christ looked around over the audience until He found the woman, knew what her trouble was, and then she confessed it that she--what she had done.
Now look. He said, "I perceive that I got weak." Or virtue, "virtue' is "weakness." Taken virtue from you... Now, what happened? God used His gift. God used His gift, and He... When He used His gift, Christ never said a thing about being weak when He raised a dead man had been dead four days. God used His gift. But here the woman used His gift, not God, the woman drawed from Christ what--through--through Christ, drawed from God through Christ... She used the gift of God that was in Christ. You see?

L-63 Now, the question's going to arise, "Why does Brother Branham get weak when you leave the meeting?" I... Sure you can understand now. Here, as I said to the brother the other day, we're all little boys, and we're at a circus. None of us has got money to go in. But it happens to be, that maybe that I would be a little taller than you. You're a little stronger than I.
And God made us all different, because He's a God of variety. Do you believe that? He makes big mountains and little mountains. And He makes deserts, and He makes oceans. And He makes white flowers, and He makes blue flowers, and He makes red flowers. And He makes little men, big men, red headed, black headed, blue headed. He makes yellow, brown, black men. He--He--He's a God of variety. He's not a Sears and Roebuck, harmony house. He's--He's--He--He's a God of variety. See? Now, He makes a variety, because that's what He likes. I like the way He likes. I like it because He likes it. And when He's in here, you like the things that He likes. That's the reason I love nature in it's primitive condition.
