<TITLE>02. Par 12-29</TITLE>L-12 So, about three o'clock, we, oh, the--the guide woke us up. And was... I was guiding, also, so we were going to take a trip, take our men out to different places where we guide. On the road down, Dr. Ackerman was lotted to me.

L-13 And on the road down, he stopped, little bit before daylight. Put his hand on my shoulder, said, "Brother Branham?"
I said, "Yes, sir, doctor."

L-14 He said, "I'm thoroughly convinced of Jesus Christ." He said, "I got a boy, you know, is a priest here at the monastery."
And I said, "Yes, sir."

L-15 He said, "I'm Catholic, by faith. I guess that's the church." He said, "I believe if--if He ever was God, He's God of all people."

L-16 I said, "That's exactly right. He created all men. And by one Blood He made all nations."

L-17 And he said, "Yes, sir, I believe that." Said, "I've read your books." He said, "I'm confiding this. I believe, if you'll ask God, to give me an elk today, I'll get it." Said, "Eleven years I've hunted for them; been caught in snow storms."

L-18 I said, "I'll ask the Lord to give you one, doctor. That's all I can do." And when I asked Him, prayed for him. I said, "Doctor, at exactly nine o'clock, this morning, the Lord gives you a--a five-point bull elk."
And he said, "I believe it."
That's all he has to do. "If you believe it."

L-19   So, a friend and I, climbed up on the hill, and watched the watch. At nine o'clock the gun fired. He had the five-point bull elk. We went and helped him bring it in.

L-20 He brings his patients to be prayed for. I just got a special just now, that he has got a cancer case, a woman dying with cancer, he'd like to fly in here. But I'm going home, after tomorrow, after, day after tomorrow. So I told him, just wait till we got in there, we'd pray for the woman when we got there.

L-21 So, see, many, if the case can be presented to the person sensibly! Divine healing has been made so much talk about, and so much fanaticism hooked into it, like there is in everything else. Any--any kind of a religion or anything, you get fanatics.

L-22 Even in the Mohammedans, you find there is, and the Hindus. You find somebody there, old hypocrite clowning for some tourists, laying on nails and so forth, glass. But back in the interior, is a man who really believes in that. He's doing that for sacrifice.

L-23 And--and we find that in everything. We find fanaticism. Even a fanatic eater eats too much. Or, or, anything!

L-24 But if the case is really presented in the Scripture, then there's nothing can... I find more believing doctors that I do believing ministers. I do. I really do. More believe.

L-25 I been interviewed at Mayo's. If you all know it, it been paper-wide, and everything. And fine clinics of doctors everywhere. There's nothing. They believe it. I--I've had doctors to come tell me, like at the interview there, said, "We don't claim to be healers. We claim to assist nature. There's only one healer; that's God."

L-26   How many read Reader's Digest, of that little Donny Morton, that they've signed to it, "was healed"? And, "The miracle of Donny Morton," Reader's Digest. So, that, that had me in on interview on that. That little boy been given up by Mayo's, Hopkin's, and all of them. And the Lord Jesus healed him, made him well.

L-27 And Florence Nightingale, late Florence Nightingale's great-granddaughter, London, England. She was flown from Durban, South Africa.

L-28 And the thing has been misrepresented. Just like the... like a many times in...

L-29 And the Christianity is misrepresented to people. Christianity has been represented to people as a declaration of creed. Christianity is a living Being, Jesus Christ, the resurrected, God that's alive and among us now. Christianity is a Person, not a creed. "To know Him is Life." Not even know His Word; that isn't Life. "Know Him," and He is the Word.
