<TITLE>03. Par 14-19</TITLE>L-14 People, in other days, when they spoke of, say, "God performed a miracle. He healed this person," it was never question. They believed in miracles. They just said, "Well, praise the Lord," and went on.
But today we got to scientifically prove it, take it back and analyze it, and look through it, and see if it's right. You'll never be able to prove God scientifically. God is not scientifically proven.

L-15 In the garden of Eden, there was a tree of knowledge and a Tree of Life. And man quit eating from the Tree of Life, and eat from the tree of knowledge, and separated himself from his Maker. Every time he takes a bite off of it, he destroys himself.
He bit off gunpowder, kills his neighbor. He bit off automobile, science, kills more than all the wars put together. He's bit hisself a hydrogen bomb now. I wonder what he's going to do with that.
He destroys himself by knowledge. And God is not known by knowledge. God's known by faith. And faith alone is the only way you'll know God. And His works are acts of faith.

L-16 What if Moses would've pulled some of the leaves off of the key--tree that was a burning, and said, "I... Wait a minute. Before I accept this, I'm going to take it down to the laboratory and have a chemical test of these leaves and find out just what that le--tree's been sprayed with. That tree on fire doesn't burn, what kind of chemicals is it, that won't let the leaves burn?"
God would've never spoke to him, if he'd have done that. But Moses just took off his shoes, and set down, and talked to God. He didn't care what was on the leaves, and whether they burned, or whether they didn't burn; it was God in the bush, and Moses recognized it. And he talked to God. And God revealed Himself to Moses.

L-17 Now, Divine healing is not a hocus-pocus. It isn't touching a totem pole or pouring some mysterious stuff from--that's run out of somebody's hands on you.
Divine healing is an act of faith in the finished work of Calvary. That's just as purely the Gospel as I know how to place it. It's a finished work that Christ died for at Calvary. "He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed."
Now, healing is not on the same basis as salvation. When you're borned again, you receive a new spirit, new Life, Immortal, cannot die. But when you're healed, it's just an attribute of the Divine love of God that healed you temporarily for a while. Your body must be borned again just like your soul.

L-18 You will die. Lazarus was raised from the grave but died again. See? But if there is no Divine healing, which is the earnest of our resurrection, there is no resurrection.
And if there is no freedom from sin, and living above sin, and free from sin, then there is no heaven to go to. This is just the earnest of our salvation that we have now through the works of the Holy Spirit.
So Divine healing has already been purchased for every creature. It's your faith in the finished work of Calvary.

L-19 Let me just show you a little something. Of all the fine medicines we got (to settle this)... Now, I was interviewed. Many of you read the "Reader's Digest" of the miracle of Donny Morton.
And I was interviewed at Mayo Brothers Clinic on account of that, 'cause Mayo's had turned him down. And the vision told him who he was, where he come from, what was going to happen. And that's just the way it was, and the baby was healed.
And they wrote it up in "Reader's Digest." And when I asked them there, I said, "Don't you believe that God heals?" They said... Took me in an old room there and showed a great, big place where Jimmy Mayo used to have, said, "We do not profess to be healers. We only profess to assist nature. There's one Healer; that is God." And that's our best.
