<TITLE>03. Par 8-10</TITLE>L-8 Now, the great thing that seems to happen today to the people, that they try to think that we serve some sort of a historical God; or that He was a great Healer one day; or He was a great One in one day, but today it's a memory, a historical affair. That's wrong. The Bible said He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. And He lives. If He's still alive, and if He still lives, He has to be the same in nature, the same in power, the same in attitude. He's the same Jesus (Hebrews 13:8), same yesterday, today, and forever.
If there was any way that I could, well then... I'm not a doctor. I know nothing about medicine or operations. I--I honor and believe in medicine and operations. I believe they're God-sent blessings to us. But sometimes we get to a place to where it's beyond what our medical science can--can handle. Then when it comes to that, I think, instead of giving up and dying, we have a right to come to the Great Physician.

L-9 If your local doctor couldn't help you, you'd have a right to go to a specialist. And if the specialist can't help you, then let's go to the Specialist of specialists, Jesus. That's why I'm here: not to take the doctor's patient, but to pray for the doctor's patient, God's child, and my friend. That's why I'm here.
Now, medicine does not heal. We all know that. There's no medicine that claims to heal. Doctors don't claim that. Medicine is an aid to nature; God is the Healer. There's never been anyone healed by medicine. You can't do it. Healing is a building of tissue, and there's nothing that'll build tissue but life--develop tissue.
Now, we can have great--do things greatly by setting a bone. But now, that don't heal the bone. It just places it back, so God heals it. Something has to produce the calcium, and so forth, to heal that bone. Now, the doctor... It's your--it's you're... What you should do is go to the doctor and have him set it. But if God doesn't heal it, it'll never be healed. If you got a bad tooth, the doctor can pull it. But he cannot heal the socket, and the tissue that he tore out. He might remove appendix, or a growth in your side, or something, but he cannot heal the place where it come out of. He can remove, but cannot heal.
Medicine doesn't heal. No medicine heals. It just simply keeps clean, while God heals. And we must keep that in mind.

L-10 And now, tonight as we approach Him for healing, now, I'd like to ask this one thing if... How many people in here would raise your hand to this, that you believe that the Scripture states, in Hebrews 13:8, that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever? Thank you.
Then if you believe that, if the Scripture says that, then you must remember what the Scripture says is the truth. Now, Jesus said when He was here on earth that He did not do any of the works Himself. We are all aware of that. He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; It's My Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works." That is true, isn't it?
