<TITLE>08. Par 27-29</TITLE>L-27 Then you say in divine healing, "Brother Branham, will God heal me?" You're Abraham's seed. He has healed you. "Will you lay your hands on me the way Brother Roberts does?" That don't have nothing to do with it. Just a point of contact.
Once a man's own sermon, said, "Put your hand upon the back of the seat behind you." Now, the seat ain't got no healing in it. See? It's your faith in a finished work, that you're already redeemed. He was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed.
"Brother Branham, will I get healed tonight?" You're already healed. God sent the Holy Spirit. He sent your pastors, and they preach the Word, you listen. And He sent gifts of tongues, interpretation, sends prophets and prophetic gifts, and everything trying to draw you to the place. The pastor can't heal you. The speaking in tongues doesn't heal you. The interpretation doesn't heal you. The prophet doesn't heal you. The other gifts doesn't heal you. It only points you, if it's a true gift, it only points you to where you were healed. For you're the seed of Abraham, and you were already healed and saved. And that's why the Holy Spirit's knocking at your heart.
"All the Father has give Me will come to Me." That's right. Now, that's why we preach the gospel. That's why I put forth these efforts. That's what other ministers put forth their efforts, is to try to swing out that big net, draw it in, and see what is what. I don't know. The other ministers doesn't know. We're just seining.

L-28 "The kingdom of God is like a fisherman, went to the net... took a net and went to the sea and cast it in. When he pulled in he had frogs, turtles, serpents, spiders, and fish." Watch what happens. The influence of the gospel catches many. And just about the first week after, the old serpent said, "Now look, if I'm going to have to do all this other stuff, give up my cards, my tobacco... ", right back to the water he goes.
Mrs. Water Spider sets there, and she looks around, and she says, "Huh! You mean I can't have my clubs, to do these things there, and I have to take off my make-up, let my hair grow out, and take off my shorts. and... Huh!" Plop! Plop! Plop! "Just a hog to his wallow and a dog to its vomit."
Now, what was she? She was caught in the net, brought up to the altar (and he was too), but he was a snake to begin with. It's a spider to begin with. The net had nothing to do with it. It only pulled him up here. And the fish was a fish to start with. See? It's exactly right.
My sheep hear my voice. See? Oh, some are them are smart and educated and shrewd as they can be. That has nothing to do with it. It's humility and the Holy Spirit, guiding, leading. And He will never lead you one word from that Bible. He will keep you right in line with that Bible. See? Right with the Bible.

L-29 When you see a Scripture, and you see here, and here, and here, and here, and you ask your pastor about it, and he says, "Aw, that was for another day." If you're the child of God you won't believe that. No, sir.
When It said, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever... ", "Works that I do shall ye do also... ", you see what He was, see the promise here, the pastor says, "Aw, that's nonsense, there's nothing to that." You won't believe it, 'cause you're not a spider nor a snake, you're a fish. See? There it is. You're not a goat, or a pig, you're a lamb.
And the dove cannot light on nothing but a lamb. It's the same nature. The greatest thing... I believe I preached that message up here one time: The Lamb and Dove. It's the greatest message I ever was given to me of the Lord. When God represented Himself, He represented Himself from heaven, a bird, the meekest of all the birds, the dove. And God and the Holy Ghost is the same self Person. If it didn't, Jesus had two fathers, and Matthew 1:18 said, "That which is conceived in thee is of the Holy Ghost." He wasn't a bastard child. He was wholly borned of God, so He... He was... He was the Son of God. That's right.
