<TITLE>08. Par 26-29</TITLE>L-26 Over in France there's an idol setting up that people go by, goes by that idol, and the doctors go by, and look at the people as they go by, and they get healed.
That wooden or stone idol doesn't heal them. Neither does the witch doctor heal them. Neither does the divine healer heal them. Those people think they are approaching God. And upon the basis of, not your salvation, but on the basis of your faith, God has to honor that faith. Certainly He does. It's the faith that heals them. Never no man has power to heal. God alone can heal.
And I say this in the face of the people: There is no other healing in the world but Divine healing. You cannot make out any other kind of healing but Divine healing.

L-27 If I broke my arm out here cranking my car, and run in to the doctor and said, "Doctor, heal my arm right quick. I didn't get my car started. I want to finish my car."
Why, he'd say, "You need mental healing." Well, he can set the arm, but God does the healing.
If you've got a appendix, and the doctor cuts it out, he doesn't heal, he just moves the obstruction. God heals. See? There never was a hospital, a doctor, a medicine, or anything else ever done any healing. God's Word doesn't lie. "I'm the Lord that heals all your diseases." Certainly.

L-28 See, God's alone in creation. The devil can't create. If you say the devil can heal, then you make him a creator, then he's coequal with God. Only God alone can create. The devil can only pervert what's already created.
What is unrighteousness? Is righteousness perverted. You get it? Righteousness perverted... It's right for a man to live, take his wife, and be a husband and wife, to live that way. But with some other woman who could do the same act, it would be righteousness perverted, which would be sin. And everything the devil can do, is to pervert what God has created. You get it?
So God alone can develop cells that can heal. And He's the only Healer, for He's the only Creator. God alone is a Healer.

L-29 That Lutheran man called Brother Moore and I to the college, wanted a little interview. We didn't know what he was going to say; but when we got up there, they had a great dinner set for us across the big gym. And this, after eating dinner, he scooted his plate back; he said, "Brother Branham, I want to ask you a question."
I said, "What is it?"
He said, "I've seen all kinds of going on, but I want to ask you, is there really something besides accepting Christ by faith and believing? Is there such a thing as the baptism of the Holy Ghost?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
He said, "What more can a man do but just believe? God got... Abraham believed God and it was imputed to him for righteousness."
I said, "That's what Abraham could do, but God to recognize his righteousness, gave him the seal of circumcision as a recognition of his faith." And I said, "We believe God raised up Christ, and accept Him as our personal Saviour. And then when God recognizes that faith, He gives us the seal of the Holy Ghost, that He's recognized our faith in the resurrected Son of God."
He said, "That's what we want in this seminary, college."
