<TITLE>05. Par 17-20</TITLE>L-17 Today you hear so much about healing. And there's so much different. You can hear the medical doctor say about the--the surgeon... Now, we have nothing against doctors, operations, or anything. Not at all. I'm not here to take the doctor's place. I'm here to pray for... Doctor, if you're here, I'm here to pray for your patients, my friend, God's child. And we're not here to take your patients.
And here we find that the doctor, the medical doctor will say, "Well, don't you go over to that surgeon. He's just a big old butcher. He just cuts you in pieces. You don't need that. All you need is some medicine."
Go over to the surgeon. "You don't need sugar pills, you need and operation."
The chiropractor will say... The both doctors will say, "You don't need to go to a chiropractor."
The chiropractor will say, "Not the osteopathic."
All of them say, "Keep away from the preacher."

L-18 But what is it? It's selfish motives. It's exactly. For we know that surgery, medicine, osteopathic, chiropractic, all of it does good. And if men had the right mind, had the right attitude, the right motive, we'd put our arms together and march forward, trying to help our fellow man to have a little more pleasure while he's here on life, to have his good health, the whole group.
If it's not one man wanting money for this, and one wanting money for that, and if "I can operate." "If I keep him away from the operation," or something like that. Now, all doctors don't do that. That's not the attitude of all doctors, or all chiropractics, or so forth, or all preachers.

L-19 But I've found one thing: I've found in my ministry, a whole lot more doctors believe in Divine healing than I have preachers. That's right. That's right. More doctors believe in Divine healing than many of these... of preachers. Some of them are very, very hard against it.
Where I've never met an honest doctor... I was interviewed at Mayo Brothers, many great clinics. You can imagine how it is around the world. And I've--I've found very few doctors that didn't believe in Divine healing. It's the way it's presented. See? If you present yourself as a healer, the doctor knows better.

L-20 Now, there's not a medicine in the world can heal you. Now, remember that. There's no medicine, no doctor, no clinic, ever healed one person. All healing comes from God. Could you hear that? All healing is from God. I believe that God's Word is so infallible that there is not one iota of It that's wrong. Psalms 103:3 said, "I'm the Lord Who heals all your diseases." If there could be anything else heal you besides God, then God told something wrong.
And remember, when the circumstances arise, and the way God acts in that circumstance, He's got to act every time after, the same way that He acted in that time, or He acted wrong when He acted then. God doesn't learn any more. God's infinite. You believe that? I believe it's for them...?... this morning but God sends? He's perfect to begin with. And if God healed the sick...?... in Israel there when they were in the march of the journey, and he had hoisted up a brass serpent for an atonement, and God made atonement for the healing then because people were in need, He'd have to do the same thing today or He acted wrong when He did it there. That's right. He could just give more medical knowledge but He raised up a brass serpent.
