<TITLE>08. Par 79-95</TITLE>L-79   Talking, and a group of doctors, other day. He said--he said, "I read your book on Divine healing."
I said, "I guess you criticized."
Said, "No, sir. I admit that you're right."
I said, "Thank you, Dr. Schoen."

L-80 He said--he said, "Brother Branham, we have record that when we tell a person that's got a malignancy, or--or something is going to kill him, an ulcer ready to burst, or tubercular, it depends on what attitude they take. If they get all tore up," said, "they die right away. But," said, "if they take the attitude, 'Well, dying is just part of living. It's all right, when I die,'" said, "you know, it almost retards that case?"

L-81 I just thought, "If that mental attitude, taken like that, what will it do when the Holy Spirit strikes that inner man?" There it is. It's... I asked him that.

L-82 He said, "Certainly, that's right, if you can move into a spot, move up into that." One of the best surgeons and doctors there is in southland, he said, "If it's... Mr. Branham, it can be proved. If a man will move, can move up into that spot, until even his own mind don't even know he's got it, to think he's got it, and don't even pay any attention to it," said, "it would do it, if he can believe that." That's true. See?

L-83   The mental attitude you take towards it will bring... Now, the mind won't do it. But if you give that attitude towards something got Life in it, then that Life comes down and does it. Not your mental attitude; that only brings you in the Presence of Him. That's what you do, your mind. The five senses is all right as long as they don't deny God. But when they go to denying God, then you leave them alone. God controls them. That's the Creator.

L-84 Now, what a security, as I said, sailing this treacherous sea, knowing that He's laying right in the boat. There is something them disciples was that night, like we are tonight, they were enjoying the effects of a meeting; after the revival, feasting on the results of the revival.

L-85   Now, Brother Groomer, and brother here, and many other. About fifteen years ago we come through this country, and there was a revival. My! And you know what we're doing today? Just talking about it. The revival is over. It's been over, a long time. We're just living on the results of it, waiting.

L-86   And those disciples were doing the same thing, rejoicing, living on what they had seen done, probably the day before, and the week before, and a year before. They were testifying about it, giving, oh, great testimony of it.

L-87 How do we know that, as Jesus in their day was resting between revivals, how do we know maybe He's resting now between the revivals? Yeah.

L-88 "Oh," you say, "now, wait a minute, Brother Branham; getting a little off the line now. Jesus don't have to rest."

L-89 Yes, He did. The Bible said that, "God made the heavens and earth in six days, and the seventh He rested." Certainly did. He rested. Jesus, being tired, laying on the boat, He was asleep and resting.

L-90 And maybe after the toil of the revival that's just past, maybe He's resting now like He was then. I hope that's it.

L-91 And the disciples was rejoicing on what they had seen Him do, see, and knowing that He was with them.

L-92   That's kind of like the man, mind of a man. A mind of a man is always talking about and rejoicing what God has done, and they're saying what He will do, and ignoring what He's doing.

L-93 He wasn't asleep, exactly. We'll get to that, in a few minutes. See?

L-94 They'll believe what He has done, and shout about it. They'll talk about what He's going to do, and glorify God. But what He's doing right now, they ignore it. That's just the nature of a man. That's just the way he does it.

L-95   Then, while they were enjoying the blessings of their fellowship, one with another, and, oh, counting it all up, what they had seen done, all of a sudden there rose trouble.
