<TITLE>17. Par 58-61</TITLE>L-58 Many will not be in the prayer line. Many will be standing on the outside that wants healing. Lord, let them know that You're in reach of every one. And You're able and willing to give them the strength and the--the faith that will stand no matter what their conditions or physical beings look like. They'll still believe it and confess it. And You'll bring it to pass. And the neighborhood where they live will see that there's something real, that the Holy Spirit has moved on them.
Sinners, drunkards, those who have lived immoral, broken their vows to their wives and their husbands, sweethearts that's untrue, let them see, Lord, that it takes God to make a man or a woman what they should be, stand boldly, tonight, and confess You, and be filled with the Spirit of God, and go away from here just as gallant a Christian as the old, mother deer that I've told about was a mother. Grant it, Father. We'll praise Thee. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-59 I know you're tired standing, and I've preached lengthily, almost nine o'clock; but it's just a few more minutes now. Now, just these little... I'm not a preacher. You know that. My gift is something else. You've got ministers here who are trained. I'm untrained and my old, seventh-grade education doesn't go very far. I--I... But I love to tell what I know. I love to share it with someone else. But my ministry is to the sick. And through the sick, we catch the sinner.
It's just like taking a bait and putting it on a hook. You don't show the fish the hook; you show him the bait. He takes the bait and gets the hook. So that's the way of preaching the Gospel. It's to show you--show you Christ. And in there, He can get a hold of you, and lead you, and guide you, and take you out of the contaminated stream where you're dying with sawdust in your gills and put you into the waters of Eternal Life, where you can swim freely. He's only trying to do something good for you.

L-60 Now, my... There is no man in the world that can heal another man. We know that. The doctor cannot do it. There's no medicine that can do it. There never was a medicine that healed anybody and never will be, and there's not a sound-minded doctor that would say that there was. If he does, he--he needs mental-healing.
I've been interviewed at Mayo's Clinic. They said, "We do not profess to be healers, Reverend Branham. We profess that we assist nature. There's one Healer; that's God." See? God's the only Healer. And what God does for His healing; He's already made preparations for you. The only thing you have to do is receive it. Looky here. That kinda didn't go very good, I'm afraid.

L-61 What if I was cranking my car, or doing something, and I broke my arm, and run into the doctor and said, "Doctor, heal it. You are a healer."
He'd say, "Brother Branham, you need healing in your head." And that's right.
Now, he can set it but God has to heal it. He can take a tooth out, but God has to heal where the tooth come out. He can abstract a appendicitis, but God has to heal.
Someone said, "What about penicillin for a bad cold?"
Well, penicillin's like you got a house full of rats and they're eating holes in the house. You can put out some rat poisoning. It kills the rats, but it don't patch the holes. Penicillin kills the germs, but God has to restore that back again where the germs has eaten. Certainly. There's no healing but God.
