<TITLE>04. Par 15-20</TITLE>L-15 Brother, when you see such motives as that... It seems to me, that I would be justified in saying this: it's selfish motive. Now, we know the surgeon helps; we know the medicine helps; we know chiropractic, osteopathic, we know all that helps. And after all, it takes God to do the healing, regardless of what comes or goes. God's the only One that can heal.
There never was a drop of medicine that ever healed a man, or a mentally balanced man ever said it did. If he--if he did, I can just show you in a minute how--how foolish it is. See? There's only one Healer; that's God.

L-16 Now, Mayo's in the States, is our greatest one, them and John Hopkins is our greatest clinics that we have. They don't claim to heal. They said, "We don't claim to heal. We claim to assist nature. There's one Healer, that's God."
I want just to ask you something. Psalms 103:3, the Lord said, "I'm the Lord who heals all thy diseases." How many ever read that in the Bible? Now does... To me, that's either the truth or it is a error. And if that's a error, the rest of it might be error. The Bible is God's eternal Word.

L-17 And solemnly, the believer must rest his faith upon God's Word. And faith cannot find its resting place upon the shifting sands of man's theology. It's got to take its every stand on the unmovable Rock of God's eternal Word. God said so; that settles it. If He's God, He has to keep His Word. If He doesn't keep His Word, then He isn't God or this isn't His Word.
Now, that's the only basis that we can find for real faith. It has to rest on God's Word. Then we know that there's miracles performed in surgeons--by surgeons, by medicine, by chiropractic. There's miracles performed. But not through the surgeon, but through God.

L-18 Want to ask you something. For instance, what if I was cranking a car out here and I broke my arm? And I run into the doctor and I said, "Healer, heal my arm."
He'd say to me, "Mr., you need mental healing." That's right. Because he could not heal my arm. Well, now, if he's the healer, his medicine is the healer, it'd heal my arm. What does the doctor do? He sets my arm and God heals it. Now, a doctor can move an obstruction like a--a bad tooth or appendix, or a tumor, or something like that, but he cannot build cells. Neither does medicine build cells. God alone is the Creator and cells is a creation.

L-19 Can you understand? See, that God is the only One Who can heal for He is the only One Who can create. The devil cannot heal. If anybody says that, or thinks that, get that out of your mind right now. The devil never performed one healing, or he never will perform one healing. Certainly.
I just seen a whole Lutheran college converted on account of that. He took a stand, and told me that I... Why, I said...
"That's theology that's saying the devil can't heal..." And said, "We know a witch that heals." And I just set right down and wrote him a letter. He had me come there, and the whole college received the baptism of the Holy Spirit (See?), a whole college. Brother Agery. That's at Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Bethany College.

L-20 Now, when truth... The Word is the truth, and if I preach or anything goes on this meeting, it's not just out of God's Bible, then you call my attention to it. I don't want it. I don't want any more that--than what's in this Bible, and I don't want nothing less than what's in this Bible. I don't want some fantastics or isms. I want just exactly what God said, no more or no less. That's where my faith rests on what He said. And I believe that He--that it's the Word of God, and He tells the truth.
