<TITLE>08. Par 32-35</TITLE>L-32 Did you ever think the way they find this serum? The way they do it, they read books, and chemists go and take certain germs, and they mix them together, and different poisons, till they get a formula, something that won't kill the patient, but will kill the germ. And that's the way they work. Then they get all this together.
And then they go get them a guinea pig. And they get a long needle, and souse this in the guinea pig, and squirt him full of it. And then if the guinea pig survives it, then they squirt it in you, and see if you survive it. Well now, that's all right. They've done great things (See?), in doing that. But that's the way they find out how to work on the people.
Now, you find out that everybody isn't made just like a guinea pig, so it--it--it doesn't work on everybody. But I want to tell you one thing: God's inoculation works on everybody. It'll work on everybody. It'll--it'll help everybody that takes it.

L-33 And God asks the question, "Is there no Balm in Gilead, or is there no Physician there? Then if there is, why is the daughter of My people not recovered, the sickness, the infirmity, of My daughter?" That would be the church, the daughter of My people, which the... orthodox church. He was speaking directly to us. "The daughter of My people has not recovered from her sickness. Is it because we have no Physician, or we have no--no... He has no medicine to work with, no balm, no Physician?"

L-34 Now, we are told by medical science today--which we highly salute for these things--that if we have these different infirmities and fail to take these inoculations, it's a dangerous thing. You might lose your life if you don't take it.
We're living in a day of--of sin and sickness. We got more sickness than we ever had, because there's more sin and--and things than we ever had. That's where sickness come from. Sickness is the results of sin. Before we had any sickness we had no sin, and sin followed sickness. See? I mean, sickness followed sin (pardon me). They had sin first. Then the results of--of sin brought sickness. Now. And therefore, now, as sin increases, sickness increases.
And we've got the best doctors we ever had. We got better drugs than we ever had. We got more hospitals than we ever had. We got better trained men than we ever had. And we got more sickness than we ever had. Why? We got more sin than we ever had. We got more people, and when people begin to multiply, then sin and violence sets in.
These big cities, not like living out in the country, the walled-in cities that we talked about last night... You take these walled-in cities, you're always getting sin. And when we get these other kind of spiritual walled-in cities, you're always mixing everything with its sin too.

L-35 Now, we find out, the doctors tell us that the number one killer is heart trouble. Well, I don't disagree with the doctor, 'cause I'm not a doctor. But I say one thing: number one killer isn't heart trouble. Number one killer is sin trouble. Sin is number one killer, not heart trouble.
So many say today, "You know, Brother Branham, you--you say these things too hard. We have to sin a little every day. We just got to."
Someone said, "You know, Brother Branham, I hear you condemning smoking." And I do believe that men shouldn't smoke. I believe in holiness, cleanness, and throughout soul, body, and spirit.
And he said, "We... I just got to smoke. I--I--I just have to smoke a little. I just got to do it."
And we hear so many say that, "I got to take a little sociable drink in order to hold my job."
We hear women say, "I just got to cut my hair and wear my dresses up-to-date to keep my social standing in my church. If I don't, the women say I look too old."
Forgive me, but I'm going to say something. That's Pentecostal prostitution. That's right. The reason they do it is because they haven't tried the inoculation. They haven't tried God's serum for sin and these things. That's right.
