<TITLE>02. Par 5-7</TITLE>L-5 Now, Brother duPlessis is the speaker, and he usually speaks each night. And when I come in it--it'd be good just to start the prayer line. Now, today we have decided... I told my son to come over and give out a group of prayer cards, that we might pray for the sick tonight by bringing them through the prayer line and praying for them.
Each night we have depended on the Holy Spirit to move out, now, and to call the people, and let you know His Presence is here.
Now, I do not believe that there's any person on earth that can heal you; that is even to a doctor. Healing belongs to God alone. "I'm the Lord Who heals all thy diseases."
Now, we thank God for our doctors and our hospitals, and we, by no mean, try to condemn them. But there's no medicine that will heal your body. Now, just remember that. There's not a medicine ever invented, or never will be, that'll heal. You give it to one, it'll help him; give it to the other one, it'll kill him. So there's no healing...

L-6 For instance, if I cut my hand, there's not a medicine in the world to heal my hand. A--just--a common knife cut, if it'd heal a knife cut in my hand, it would heal a knife cut in my coat; it would heal a knife cut on this desk. Then you might say... Pardon me. You might say, "Brother Branham, medicine wasn't made to heal your coat; it was made to heal your body." All right.
If I cut my hand, would fall dead, and they'd take me out to the undertaker's establishment and embalm my body with the fluid that would make me look natural for fifty years. Every day the best doctors in the world could come. They'd sew that up, give me a shot of penicillin, put salves, and so forth, on it. And fifty years from now the cut would look just like it was when I cut it. Why, you say, "Certainly, the life is gone out of you. "Then which is the healer, the medicine or life?" Life is the healer. See, medicine cannot build tissue.

L-7 If I was cranking my car, and I broke my arm, first thing I'd do is say, "Doctor, go in and say, "set my arm." What if I went in, say, "Heal my arm, doctor. I want a finish cranking my car."
He'd say, "Why, you need mental healing, boy." And he would be right. Because he could not heal my arm.
Or, I'd say, "Aren't you a healer?"
He'd say, "Certainly not." He'd say, "I'll set your arm, put it in place, but God has to heal it." That's right. God is the only healer there is.
I've been interviewed at Mayo Brothers and many a great clinics, and I never had one yet to tell me they were healers. They... In the old Mayo, where they taken me and showed me that big sign that he had, it said, "We do not profess to be healers. We only profess to assist nature. There is one Healer, that is God." That's true.
I made that statement one time, and someone after the service caught me and said, "What about penicillin, Brother Branham? Kills the cold germs."
"Well," I said, "Penicillin is just like you had a house full of rats eating holes everywhere, and you put out some rat poison and poisoned the rats; that don't patch the hole. That just kills the rats." That's right. That's what penicillin or any other drug does. It just... Sometime antibiotics and so forth kills the germ. But God has to heal it. That's right. It's all healing belongs to God.
So you just be kind to God, believe God. God will take care of the rest. That's right.
