<TITLE>10. Par 35-37</TITLE>L-35 Now, somebody comes along and said, "Glory to God. Feel this. Hallelujah. I got it in my hands." Now, I wouldn't be very perseverant about that (See?), because there's no one can heal you. No medicine, no doctor, no nothing ever did heal anybody but God.
I want you to show me the doctor that claims that he's a healer. I want you to prescribe for me a medicine that will do anything towards healing. Mayo's is the best we got. I've been interviewed there twice. They said, "We do not claim to be healers, Mr. Branham. We only claim to assist nature. God is the Healer."
They can cut a place, but it takes creation to build tissue to heal it back. They... Now, you say, do you condemn doctors? Certainly not. If you break your arm, the doctor has studied how to set that arm; but he can't heal it. God has to heal it. He has to produce the calcium and--and all that goes into the bone, and knit that together, and heal it. He only sets it.
If you broke your arm, and went to the doctor, and said, "Heal it, doctor, I want to finish washing my dishes." He'd say, "You need mental healing." That'd be about right. See? But you--you got to... The doctor sets it, but God's the Healer.

L-36 You can't make God's Word lie. He said, "I'm the Lord Thy God Who heals all of your diseases." And they've never had a medicine that would heal. No doctor claims it heals. It only kills germs while God heals. It only cleans the sore out, or--or something like that.
Or take your hand. A doctor works on two senses, what he can feel with his hands or see with his eyes. He can feel a growth. He'd say, "Yeah, you got a growth there. I'll cut it out." Now, he cuts a hole in there, and cuts it off. Now, he didn't heal it. He cut out a growth. Who heals? He sews up. But if God don't--if God don't heal it, it'll always be that way. See? It'll always be that way. He can pull a tooth out, but who's going to heal the place it come out of? He can set an arm, but who's going to heal it? God's the Healer.
So, you see, if you get the Word of God in you, with faith to believe that Word, something's going to take place, and you'll never turn it loose. Right.

L-37 I think of the father of our nation, which is called George Washington. I always had a lot of respect for Mr. Washington because he was a Christian. And before Valley Forge, when he prayed all night long in the snow until he was wet above his waist, and his soldiers, two-thirds of them didn't even have on shoes... They had their feet wrapped with anything they could wrap them with, and it zero weather, and the river froze over.
That night he prayed until he was wet plumb up around his waist. He caught the vision from God. And the next day, he was very persistent. He crossed the river regardless of the... The ice gorges didn't stop him. And three musket bullets was shot through his coat, and he walked on to victory. Why? He was persistent. He prayed until he caught a hold of God, and knowed what God had said. That's it. He could be persistent for the achievement.
And the first thing, your achievement is only by your motive and your objective. Your motive has got to be right and your objective has got to be right. If your objective is right, and your motive is wrong, then it won't happen. You've got to have the right objective and you've got to have the right motive. And then take it upon the leading of the Holy Spirit in your heart and stay with it. God will bring it to pass.
