<TITLE>04. Par 15-17</TITLE>L-15 Now, it's too bad we don't have about a month here in this city in some auditorium, where we just take messages on faith, build the people to that. Let all these sick people throughout the building here that's setting here, let them come, watch night after night, see what takes place, watch for faith until really something anchors. Then they get it. When it--when faith anchors, it's there to stay. It'll never be moved. Nothing can ever move faith.
I find in a prayer line about ninety-nine out of every hundred that comes to the platform... Oh, I've heard people say, "Oh, Brother Branham, I got all faith." Then what are they doing up there. See, see? See, it's hope instead of faith. See? If faith, you know something. It's just as positive as if you're setting here. It's more positive than you're setting here.
It's a sixth sense. Five senses won't touch it. It's the sixth sense. Five senses won't declare faith at all. It's the sixth sense, and the sixth sense is the one that declares the whole armor of God. And the whole armor of God is nothing that the... one of the five senses will declare. Do you believe that?
Look. Faith, love, joy, peace, long-suffering, meekness, gentleness, patience, who can declare that by some of your science? You can't do it. It's a faith, the sixth sense that goes out and declares it. "It's the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." You don't see it, taste it, feel it, smell it, or hear it; you believe it. That's right.

L-16 And now, what if I was dying, and you--a loaf of bread would save my life, and the loaf of bread cost twenty-five cents. And you gave me the purchase price of a loaf of bread--twenty-five cents. I could be just as happy with the twenty-five cents, and rejoice just as much as if I had the loaf of bread in the other hand, because I've got the purchasing price of the bread. And if you've got faith, and no matter how long it takes the thing to happen, you've got it. That's all. See? It'll purchase what you're asking for.
Oh, I wish we could just get that much right there, if you could just... If you could just grasp that much. Not a mental belief; but from the heart.
Then there's no one, nothing anywhere, could ever shake you away from it. When something's anchored, that settles it. You could no more deny that than you could deny you was a human being. See? It's just the real part. We must believe it.

L-17 Now, I want to say this, that I am not a Divine healer. People call me that, but I am not. No man is a healer. If a man comes by and says he is a healer, you watch that fellow: something wrong. Neither am I a Saviour. I could be a--a Saviour just as well as I could be a healer, because He, Christ, was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed. It's a past tense.
Every sin in the world was forgiven when Christ died at Calvary. You believe that? There's a Blood atonement on the altar for--for the sins of the world. But it'll never do you any good until you accept it and confess it. And He can never work on it until first you say, and have by faith accepted it.
Then He's a High Priest to make intercessions upon our confession. See, He can't move, He--He's bound; there's nothing He can do, until first you accept it and confess it; and from your heart you believe it. Then it touches Him, and then He can go to work on it and make intercessions for you. There you are.
