<TITLE>31. Par -</TITLE>L-50-8 Now, the same thing on Divine healing. Now, what if Brother Welch had said, "Well, don't think I'll go down, just think I'll go the other way." What if that fellow said, "Well, I ain't going out there. Why, that car ain't..." See? It won't happen. But you've got to believe. You've got to believe it. And that's--then that falls into an atmosphere of faith, and it's got to produce it. It's just got to. Oh, that's...

L-51-1 Did you ever think about when someone was raised from the dead, what happens? Did you ever think in Finland there that time that little boy was raised from the dead? His spirit was gone from him. Now, the Word has to go out through into space yonder, and pick up that little soul, and bring it right back. See? How can It do it? It's the Word: heal the sick, raise the dead. See? How's He going to do it? It has to come by a watered Word. He'd showed the vision, and it has to happen. There laid the boy; there was everything laying there just the way He said it two years before, and there it laid. That's the reason I say about the bear coming down the hill, whatever it was. It's got to happen, it's got to be so. See?

L-51-2 What did it do? A word. I said, "Heavenly Father, in the homelands You said to me, about two years ago, that this little boy would raise from the dead; therefore, upon the basis of Your Word, Your promise... The first, the Word said, 'These signs shall follow them that believe.' You sent Your disciples forward, You--and told them to heal the sick, and raise the dead, and cast out devils. Then by a vision You showed me in the homeland that this little boy's--was going to return back to life again." Therefore, "Death, you can't hold him any longer. I got the Word of the Lord." Not me, I ain't the Word, He's the Word. See? If I was the Word...

L-51-3 There's only one Person could be the Word, that was Jesus. He was God's spoken Word by a virgin birth. I'm a perversion. See? I'm--I'm the results of a union between my father and mother. This has to die, that's me (See?); the body that has to die. It wasn't so with Jesus; He was the Word. He was born, virgin. Brother, there was no woman, man, or nothing else had nothing to do with Him. The woman was the incubator (that's right), and He nursed her breast, and so forth. That might have been true about that, but let me tell you: He was God, that's Who He was! Was no sex about it at all. He had to be free from sex to bring forth Life through that blood, as we'll get to in a few minutes.

L-51-4 And then, look. He was the Word, but the Word of the Lord... The prophets wasn't the Word, but the Word of Lord came to the prophets. Not... They wasn't the Word, the Word came to them. And that's the way it does us today. When the Word came for that little boy, what was it? A vision. What was for the bear? What was for these other things? All a vision. It's the Word of the Lord came to it. Then what does it do? It holds there.
Now, it's got to be spoke first. "Death, give him back! In the Name of Jesus Christ, I send forth that Word." It catches just like It caught that boy going down yonder to Bowling Green with that stolen car. Here It goes over here and catches again. What does it do? It catches that--that little spirit, brings it right back here, and presents it to the body, just as the Word said it would do. There it is. What does it? Faith, not knowledge.

L-52-2 You say, "Now, let's see. That air is made out of so-and-so. There's so much acids, there's so much gas, and there's so much cosmic light. I can figure that out, and maybe if I can..." Oh, you--you're--you're fooling away time. Not wisdom, faith! Not... Wisdom will tell you that can't be done. Faith proves it's done. See? That's right. Shows He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. All right. (Let's hurry now. We gotta hurry.)
