<TITLE>25. Par 85-88</TITLE>L-85 Now, I want to ask you something. (I'll get...?...) Are you coming with anticipations, or with expectations, rather, that you're going to be healed this morning? Is that what's in your heart, real down deep? If you're coming like that, my friend, I'll just assure you that your healing is just as assured as your salvation, just as sure.
Now, your healing is not as permanent as your salvation. Your healing will fail you. You could be... If you're healed, you'll be sick again. You could be healed today with pneumonia, perfectly normal and well, pronounced well by the doctor, and next week die with pneumonia. That's right.
You could be totally cured of TB this week, and two months from now die with tubercular. They could pass a test with not one germ in your body, that they can find. And then die in two more weeks with tubercular. That's right. And you've got to die anyhow, but the benefits...

L-86 David cried, "Forget not all His benefits. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy Name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:" (Benefits, what is the benefits In the journey?) Who forgives all of mine iniquity... (Iniquity is something that you going out, and you do it, and you know you oughtn't to have done it: He forgives it. You ask Him; He forgive you.)... forgives all of my iniquity; Who heals all my diseases;"
Now, I want to settle this for you forever. Then somebody says, "Brother Branham, do you believe in Divine healing?"
Now, let me say this sensibly and sanely. I want some person, some doctor, some science somewhere, I invite them in this revival to come to this pulpit and show me one place where anybody was ever healed outside of Divine healing. I--I want you to go to your doctor or to anybody that you wish to, and show me any person that was ever healed outside of Divine healing. I want you to bring me the medicine that'll heal. I want you to bring me the doctor that says he's a healer. He will be a healer all right, "heel, a heel of a doctor."

L-87 But God is the only One Who can heal, or ever did heal, or ever will heal. If we had some medicine that would heal, we could build a man right here on this platform with the medicine. That's right. We could build a man, create him right here on the platform. Just think of it. All healing is Divine healing. God has methods of doing it. Now, you say, "Well, Brother Branham, I had a operation, the tumor or appendicitis, that the doctor had to cut it out, or I'd died."
That might... That's probably the truth. But did you know, the doctor never healed you. The doctor moved the obstruction. He just cut the appendix off. That's the thing was hurting you, but he never healed it.

L-88 You broke your arm. You say, "Well, I broke... I bet if you'd break your arm, you'd go to the doctor." I sure would, but he couldn't heal it.
What if I went in and say, "Doc, heal my arm right quick; I got to work on my car this afternoon." See? Why, he'd--he'd know I need mental healing.
He'd say, "I can set your arm." But who does the healing?
You say, "Brother Branham, what about penicillin, when they give it to you for--for a disease, germs in your body, like venereal and--and whatever you got, pneumonia. Does penicillin, don't penicillin heal you?" No, sir.
Penicillin--penicillin is an antibiotic. And an antibiotic is a killer. Antibiotic kills, all other medicines kill. Medicine does not build; it kills. Medicine is a killer, not a healer. Show me a medicine that heals; show me a medicine that isn't a killer, and you ain't got no medicine. Medicine kills, kills germs. Just like if had rats in your house, and you put out rat poison, and it's--the rats was eating holes through your house. Well, the rat poison kills the rats, but it doesn't patch your house. See? Penicillin--penicillin kills the germ, but God has to heal the place where the germ has eat. See what I mean?
