<TITLE>19. Par 51-53</TITLE>L-51 I was preaching on that one time and somebody said, "What about penicillin, Brother Branham, then for the--for the--a--a bad cold?"
I said, "Well, it's just like you had your house full of rats and you put out poison, kill the rats; that don't patch the holes." I said, "Penicillin only kills the germs. It don't get--build back the blood cells and things." God's the only Creator that can create blood cells, and--and calcium, and so... The doctor sets the arm, he don't heal it.
What if I crank my car and broke my arm, went in, and said, "Doctor, heal my arm right quick, I'll finish cranking my car." See? He can't heal it; he just sets it together while God heals it. That's right. He just assists nature. God's the Healer. So there's only...
There's a remedies, and that's good. And if you don't take those remedies, then it's dangerous. Well, you say, "You believe in Divine healing then?" Well, listen brother, constantly I pray every day and night for them to find something for cancer. Look at the poor people. Anything... No good thing could come 'less it's from God. That's right. What would we do today if we didn't have those places? I know when I first started out amongst some Pentecostal people, they--they some shut behind the door to me. But you see what God did; He just moved right on over; He loved me and just had them go on anyhow. He heals just the same, so don't take any--make any difference. Yes, sure, all healing is of God. "I'm the Lord Who heals all thy diseases."

L-52 I've said it many a time, what if I cut my hand here? They ain't got a medicine in the world could heal that knife cut, not a one. If it'd heal a knife cut there, it heal a knife cut on my coat or on this desk. You say, "It wasn't made for your coat or desk, it was made for your hand." All right. I have a knife cut on my hand and fall dead. They take me off down to the morgue, and embalm my body with the fluid that makes me look natural for fifty years. They give me a shot of penicillin every day, they put Merthiolate, and Mercurochrome, and sew it up. The doctors come from Germany, and they give me steam baths and whatevermore they want to. That cut will be just exactly like it was when it was cut fifty years ago. Now, if medicine heals the human body why don't it heal it? "Well," you say, "you ain't got no life." Then medicine isn't the healer; Life is the healer. Then tell me what life is; I'll tell you who God is. God is Life. Exactly right.

L-53 Now, medicine, so much for... It's dangerous to take. But oh, you might get by with not taking the doctor's toxine, but you can't get by without God's Toxin, His Balm. Can't do it. It'll--it... You sure can't do it. And then, how do they find toxine? Well, some science reads up a whole lot of stuff and they boil it together, and put it in test tubes and so forth, and boil it. After awhile when they get down to they think they got it, they shoot it into guinea pig. And if he survives it, then they shoot it in you. Right.
And you know, medicine will kill some people and help some others. Penicillin has killed as many as it's helped about. That's right. I was reading the other day where a nurse take penicillin for the last fifteen years or more, and she took a dose and it killed her instantly. See? Now, you see, it'll kill some and it'll help the others, because all people are not made like guinea pigs. So we see that--that, that's the reason it helps some and--and--and kills the other. That's right.
But God's toxine helps all. It's a cure; it's not a remedy; it's a cure. Amen. Right.
