<TITLE>21. Par 89-93</TITLE>L-89 Nurse told me the other day, said, "I'd believe Divine healing," but said, "they would take my sheepskin away from me if I... Anybody professes Divine healing..." Up on the hospital where I prayed for some people and they were healed. Said, "If I profess it, they'd take my nurses rights, my sheepskin away from me."
I said, "That's a goat skin. Throw it away and go get a real sheepskin," I said, "yeah, where the Blood of Jesus Christ is wrote." That's true. Anything... I believe in medicine. I believe in doctors. I believe in hospitals. But don't be a fanatic. Don't go to that extreme to know that them things are the only things. God's the One that does the healing. Them's only natures.
I believe in machinery. I believe in automobiles, and I believe in soap to wash our hands with, and clothes that we wear, and machines and things. I believe in that. But it ain't going to hinder my faith in Almighty God to know that He's the one that gives them and sends them to me. That's exactly right. Sure.

L-90 Now, we notice, she had a lot to conflict her. But you know, when anybody's really thirsting for God, there ain't nothing going to stop them. She moved on. Now, remember, she didn't just go in fifteen minutes. Did you measure the distance? You know how long it takes, how long it would take to drive it? Well, first thing, she had to pass over the Sahara Desert. And she didn't go in a air conditioned Cadillac. No, but she went on the back of a camel; it taken her three months to make it: three months. No wonder Jesus said, "She'll stand in this generation and condemn it."

L-91 People live across the street won't come, got cars and transportations and everything else and still... That's shows. She'll stand with this United States and this generation in the days of her resurrection and condemn this nation. Jesus said so. That makes it right.
She didn't come in a air conditioned coach or a Cadillac. She probably had to travel by night in--and the little caravan with a few eunuchs with her. But she was determined to find out whether that was of God or not. All along, reading, and had to travel at night. Daytime laid up in a little oasis somewhere the howling winds, and read the scrolls, what God was and what He would... what she could expect if it was God.

L-92 And when she finally go there... Now, she never come to stay like some people at Bloomington, or so forth come. They'll come in, set down a minute, "I'll go. Somebody... My maid, my so-and-so, they asked me to go, so I guess I'll go. But if he says one thing contrary to what I believe, I'll stomp right out." That shows your ignorance. That shows what kind of a home you was brought up in.
I was brought up in a mountain home in Kentucky, but my mammy raised me better than that to give respects. If I come, I'd stay to listen at it, or I wouldn't come at all. But get right up and... "First thing he says I don't believe it, away I go." There you are. Go right ahead. Then...

L-93 But she come to stay. When she finally arrived at the gate, what did she do? She unpacked the camels, fixed her tent, and prepared to stay till she was satisfied, looking through the Scriptures until she examined It to see whether it was right or not.
Now, that's that way we should do. No wonder she'll condemn this generation. She's go to. She's--she'll condemn it. She stayed. Not say, "Well, if they preach over twenty minutes, brother, I'm gone." All right. But she stayed for day after day. She come because there was Something in her heart pulling to her. You say, "But, Brother Branham, it might mean I'll lose two hours sleep." It meant a kingdom to her. But it meant life to her also.
You think I'm hard, but I'm not. See? I just want you to know truth.
