<TITLE>11. Par 37-39</TITLE>L-37 Say, "Well, my hand's crippled." I'm a seed of Abraham. I don't see my hand like that no more. It's as good as done; God promised it to me. It's over. I don't... what my hand is, it's what God says. That's real seed of Abraham.
The doctor says, "There's no chance for you to get well."
"Lord, what about that?"
Father speaks back in your heart, "I'm the Lord that heals all thy diseases."
"Oh, doctor, you're a fine man, but it's finished. I'm healed. God said so." That's true. That's Abraham's seed. "God said so. I'm healed." Yes, sir.
"Can you eat yet?" "Don't make any difference, I'm healed anyhow." See? Abraham waited twenty-five years for that promise to come. Got stronger all the time.
We come in the prayer line and get prayed for. "Well, I--I--I've still got them pains. I--I still feel bad. I can't walk any more." Abraham's seed. Abraham's seed denies anything that's contrary to it, if it's revealed to you.
Now, I never healed a man in my life. And neither did Oral Roberts, or Tommy Hicks, or anybody else, or any other person in the world ever heal a man. If you'd see, you try to make man somebody great. "Oh, Brother so-and-so laid their hands on me. Whew... chills run through me." That's just a sensation, that's all. You're not healed by sensation; you're healed by faith. You don't have to feel nothing. You don't feel nothing, 'less it's a sensation. You believe.
Jesus never said, "Did you feel it, did you feel it?" "Did you feel that?" Find me one Scripture for that. He said, "Did you believe it?" Faith. God said so. "I'm Abraham's seed. I believe God. That settles it."

L-38 So, see, it isn't some great big healer comes to town. You're pastor has the same authority of any other man. Your neighbor, your Christian sister, your Christian brother, all of... anybody. Anybody has the right to pray for you. The Bible said confess your faults one to another and pray one for the other. That's right. All of us. See?
But we try to make some man great big and cost us a million dollars so they can sponsor a program... Don't get you healed. It's your own faith in God that does the healing. If you just read what He said here, He just wrote out a covenant with you. He give you the Holy Ghost for confirmation. Oh my, that's it. See?
That's the reason I don't like to put hands on people trying to say, "Brother Branham, laid hands on me. Glory to God." Don't...?... have anything to do with that. Don't put your hands on me or me on you. Put your hands on Him by faith and believe it. That's where it's at.
Ask your pastor to pray for you. Prayer changes things. What does it do? It doesn't heal you. It gives you faith to express what's already been done: your healing. You understand it?

L-39 Now, what was He saying to Abraham? "I'm going to take the covenant like this, Abraham." And He took Abraham and showed him what He was going to do with Jesus Christ, the Seed of Abraham. 'Cause through Abraham come Isaac though Isaac come Christ. Through Christ, the supreme Sacrifice was made. And all these others was natural seed, Israel, Israel, Israel, Israel. But through Christ opened the veil to either Jew or Gentile, Greek, bond or free, male or female, that we all might enter into the Shekinah Glory, which was only for Jews alone, but now it's for whosoever will, let him come, let him come.
That was the Seed that God was talking about. What did He do with that Seed? He took Him to Calvary. He tore Him apart. He died under the judgment, the divine judgments of God. We all know that as Christians. What did He do? He raised; He tore His soul from His body. His Spirit, His Life, went out of His body. Water. Blood, and Spirit came from His body. And on the third day, God raised up His body and set It on His right hand in heaven, and sent the Spirit out of that body back to us.
