<TITLE>06. Par 21-23</TITLE>L-21 Now remember, let's see how simple it is. What if I cut my hand tonight with a--with a knife, and I fell down here on the platform dead. You taken me down to the--to the undertaker establishment and they embalmed my body. Then you'd say, "Well, that finished your life." Now, it isn't... All the medicine in the world could not heal that cut in my hand. A medicine that heal a cut on my hand, would heal a cut on my coat. It'd heal a cut on that floor.
Well, he said, "Brother Branham, medicine wasn't made for your coat or that floor."
Well, all right. Now, if I cut my hand and fell dead, let them give me penicillin, and sulfa drugs, and visit me, put an embalming fluid, make me look natural for fifty years, and every day give me a shot of penicillin for fifty more years. And at the end of that fifty years that cut's just the same as it was the day it was cut. Now, if medicine heals the human body, then why not heal it?
Well, you say, "The life's gone out of it." That's it. You tell me what life is, I'll tell you Who God is. That's right. See? God... Medicine doesn't build tissue. Medicine only keeps clean while God builds tissue.

L-22 What if I was working on my car up here and broke my arm? And I run in to the doctor, I said, "Doc, heal my arm right quick. You're a healer. I want you to heal my arm."
He'd say, "Mr. Branham, you need mental healing"
Well, that's right. Well now, if he's a healer, why don't heal my arm? What he does, he set my arm, and God heals it. That's right. Healing only comes from God.
If I cut my hand, the doctor can give me sulfa drug or he can give me penicillin. Now, you say, "What about penicillin? What about when you got pneumonia and the doctor gives you the penicillin?" That doesn't heal you. Certainly not. What is penicillin? Penicillin's like rat poison. If you got--if you got a house full of rats, and they're eating holes through your house, and you put out rat poison, that kills the rats, but it don't patch the holes. That's right. Well, that's like penicillin. It kills the--it kills the germ, but it doesn't patch your body. God has to create cells again to patch up what the germs has eat out. See? Absolutely the truth.

L-23 There's no medicine that could heal. Medicine isn't made to heal. Doctors, good doctors tell you that medicine doesn't heal. Medicine...
Jimmy Mayo said on their great clinic... There's a...?... now this new round of doctors was accepted. But they said that, "We do not profess to be healers. We only profess to assist nature. There's one Healer; that's God." That's true. That is right.
So God is the Healer, and faith in God, it's a finished work. Let the doctor give you ever so much medicine, if you don't believe it's going to help you, you'll be a dead patient pretty soon. That's right. There's... It's your faith. You've got to believe.
Oh, you can't go home tonight without faith. If you think you can't move and believe it strong enough, you'll set right there. That's right. You've got to believe it. "Now, how can I believe it, Brother Branham. How can I see I'm going to get well?"
