L-1 Major with the minor, as Dr. F. F. Bosworth, one of my associates and recently went home to glory, close to a hundred years old... How many ever knowed Brother Bosworth? I'm sure many of you people knew him. He used to tell me; he said, "Well, Brother Branham, what we use Divine healing, it's just like the baits you put on a hook; you never show the fish the hook you show him the bait. And when he takes the bait, he gets the hook." So that's--that's the way we tried to use Divine healing.
It's a gift of God that... And then we... It attracts the people, and they see something happen that they know that could not happen unless God had done it. Therefore, it turns their attention around from the things of the world to God. See? And that's what--the reason we say it's a bait that leads sinners...
What our main purpose is here for, is to capture the unbeliever to a faith in God. That's what we want to do, is to have--see the sinner converted to a living faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. And that's our main thing.
The next thing is to try to help the sick and needy to find help. And many of them, of course, as it is all over the world, are perfectly helpless unless God does something for them, because our medical science... Some of them are beyond that.

L-2 And I just left home yesterday where, or day before, yeah, yesterday, where I've seen the Lord take a total insane person, that two years don't even know where they was at, what their name was, or anything about it, and restore them in their right mind till the entire staff of the hospital said they'd never seen anything like it. See?
A total insane person, an insane young lady, two years, and just... When you see something like that, we know it takes God to do that. That's just all. You know that man cannot do things like that and it wasn't given to man. After all, Divine healing...
There's only one kind of healing and that's Divine healing, no other healing but Divine healing. All healing has to come through God. Psalms 103:3 said, "I'm the Lord Who heals all thy diseases."

L-3 Now, medical cures... Medical does not claim to cure; they only claim to assist nature. God is the One does the healing.
I was interviewed at Mayo Brothers, and that's what they told me there, said, "We do not claim to heal people; we only claim to assist nature while God heals."
In other words, if you got a cut in your hand, well, they'll sew it up. They don't heal it. If you got a bad appendix, they can take the appendix out, but that's all they could do. If you got a broken arm, you can set the arm. Who's going to furnish the calcium and whatever it takes to knit--knit that bone?
It takes... To rebuild cells it takes life, and life is what makes healing. We can cut, operate, and so forth but we cannot heal. God has to do that Himself. That's a multiplying of cells. That-that only comes through God is the only One Who can do it.
We can make a mechanical man, where he could reach his hands and almost think, but we cannot build cells. That's... God alone does that. So He's the Lord, heals all of our diseases. We can pull a tooth out, but who's going to stop the blood? And who's going to heal the place it come out of? If God doesn't do it, we'll never be healed. That's right.
