<TITLE>04. Par 14-18</TITLE>L-14 Now, our scene opens tonight, and I want to speak it just like a little drama, so that we won't have much time to tarry, because that we want to get into the line. Usually in the big meetings, Dr. Vayle does the speaking, and I just come on for the healing services to pray for the sick.
Now, let's just be well assured in every person's heart, I cannot heal any person, and there's no other man on the earth can heal a person. God is the only Healer there is. There's not one drop of medicine ever invented that ever could heal a person. Doctors don't claim to be healers.

L-15 I've been interviewed by Mayo brothers, and many of the great sanatoriums, and so forth of the world, and I have never heard one time, that any real sound doctor ever said that he could heal. He cannot heal. God is the Healer. Healing is the multiplication of cells, which is a creation. Creation can only come from God.
Now, we do not discredit our doctors with their medicine and with their fine hospitals. But look, we're living in the day when we got the best hospitals we ever had, the best doctors we ever had, the best medicine we ever practiced, with and more sickness than we ever had.

L-16 We got more sin and unbelief than we ever had. See? Psalms 103:3, God said, "I'm the Lord Who heals all of your diseases." Well, now if He said, "all," then He just didn't mean, "part."
For instance like this: what if you were cranking on a car and you broke your arm? And your running to the doctor's office, said, "Doc, heal my arm right quick. I've got to crank my car."
He would say, "You need a mental healing."
Well, that's right. See? He can set your arm, but God has to heal. It's that simple.
What if I cut my hand tonight with a knife? And we haven't got enough medicine in all the world to heal that knife cut. Oh, you say, "Brother Branham." That's true.
A--a medicine that would heal a cut in my hand would heal a cut in my coat. It'd heal a cut on this desk. You say, "It was made for your body, Mr. Branham, not for your--your coat and the desk."

L-17 All right then, if I receive this knife cut in my hand, and I drop dead, and they take me out to the undertaker's establishment, and there they embalm my body with a fluid that makes me look natural for fifty years. Every day they come give me penicillin. They give me sulfur drugs, and they sew the place up, put all the salves and Merthiolate and so forth that could be put into that place. Fifty years from today the cut will look just exactly like it was when I cut it. Then if it heals the human body, why don't it heal?
"Oh," you say, "the life's gone out of you." That's right. Then which is the healing, medicine or life? Life is the Healer. You tell me what life is, then I can tell you Who God is, for He is Eternal Life. So He is the only Healer.
Now, medicine... The doctors removes the appendix if you got appendicitis. Good thing for a doctor to move it. If you got a tumor, let him take it out, but God has to heal where he cut. He got nothing to heal it, so he can remove an object, but he cannot heal where it's been. So it takes God is the Healer.

L-18 And you would say, "Well then, Brother Branham, what about penicillin when he got a bad cold?"
That's something like, what if you had a house full of rats and was eating holes through the walls? And you went and got some rat poison and poisoned the rats. That doesn't patch the holes. That only kills the rats.
So that's the way it is with healing. See? Penicillin kills the germ, but God has to build up where it has been. See? God is the Healer every time. God is the Healer. So God does the healing.
And He's already did it for you in the atonement. When He died at Calvary, Jesus Christ, there He purchased your salvation and your healing. And the only thing that you can do, is to look to Him and believe it, just like you do when you're saved from your sins. For "He was wounded for our transgressions. With His stripes we were healed."
