<TITLE>02. Par 4-6</TITLE>L-4 For instance, if I broke my arm and went to a doctor and said, "Doctor, I was cranking my car. I broke my arm. Heal it right quick, healer, so that I can finish cranking my car."
The doctor might look at me and say, "You need mental healing." And that would be true. The doctor could set my arm, but God has to heal it. The doctor might take appendix out of me, or a tumor, or some other growth; but God has to heal the place. God is the only One Who can create, and cells have to be created to rebuild.
I made a statement of that type one time, and there was a man afterwards said, "How do you explain penicillin?"
"Oh," I said, "that's very easy. It's just like having your house full of rats, and you put out rat poison. The rats is eating holes in the house. The poison kills the rats, but it doesn't mend the holes. That's the same thing that penicillin does. It kills the germs, but it doesn't build back the cells that it destroyed. God has to do that. God is the Healer." I believe God's Word, and if It said, "I'm the Lord that heals all thy diseases," I believe It. It's the truth. It's the only way I can have faith, is in what God said.

L-5 Ministry of healing is to pray for the sick. All churches pray for the sick. I have never drawed a denominational line, any barrier. I was ordained in the Missionary Baptist church by Dr. Roy E. Davis. But I do not hold any denominational barriers. I believe that Christ died for all His children, and I pray for all His children everywhere. God is never questioned to me by, "If this person's a Baptist, he may be healed." If you've got faith, you may be healed.
I do not believe that healing is anything that a minister could do to you, only explain to you what Christ has already done for you. I do not believe that I was saved thirty-one years ago. I believe I was saved nineteen hundred years ago when Jesus died for my sins. I accepted it thirty-one years ago.
And "He was wounded for our transgressions, and by His stripes we were healed." Did you notice, "were," past tense. When He died, and when He was striped, and it was all finished... Everything that God can do for you was finished when Christ died at Calvary. For He brought complete redemption to the human race.

L-6 We don't have it now in full; we have the earnest of our salvation. We have the earnest of Eternal Life, of an immortal life, that we'll live forever, as we receive the Holy Spirit. We also have the earnest of our resurrection. As we see a frail body, nothing but a shadow, laying eat up with cancer, where many fine doctors has tried to kill and failed; to see God Almighty heal that person, that's the proof of the resurrection. I've know of thousands of those in the lands tonight.
Now, a minister of healing, if you notice in I Corinthians 12, it's not... There's a gift of prophecy, but gifts of healing; it's in the plural. God uses many different ways.
