<TITLE>21. Par 257-265</TITLE>L-257 You might disagree with me; you have a right to that. I've got a right to express what I think. I've had the Scripture. Now, no matter what I would say, if God doesn't back that up, then the Urim Thummim isn't working, then it's refused. No matter how good it sounds, and how real it sounds, the Urim Thummim has to show it. The seed has to come to life. If it doesn't, then it wasn't so.

L-258   Now, for healing, I've tried to tell you I'm not a healer. There is many man that call themselves healers. Then there's a lot of--of critics that call man healers, that, just to criticize. Their heart is not right with God. See? Anyone knows that no man can heal another. God heals the sickness. Let God call for your death, and pray all you want to, and the hospital give you an injection of fluid everyday, and you'll die just the same.

L-259   If I cut my hand tonight, and stand here with a cut hand, there isn't a medicine in the world can heal my hand. We ain't got a medicine that heals. No medicine heals. Any doctor will tell you that. It just keeps clean while God heals. It can't build tissue, if I cut my hand. And, "Oh," you say, "yes, Brother Branham, there is medicine to heal that." All right, I want to know what it is.

L-260 Let me show you. If I cut my hand and fell down dead here, a doctor could come and embalm my body and make me look natural for fifty years. Sew up my hand, and take me out there and give me a shot of penicillin, every day, and in fifty years from now that cut would be just like it was when it was made. If--if medicine was made to heal a cut, why don't it heal it? Any medicine will heal a cut in my hand, will heal a cut on this desk, would heal a cut in my coat. If it would heal a cut, it'll heal a cut no matter where it's at. "Well," you say, "why, medicine was made for human beings." Then why don't it heal? "Well," you say, "the life has gone out of you." Then there is something else besides the medicine heals.

L-261 It's life, sure, and life is God. Certainly, it is. Yet, some are sinners, are perverted with it, but yet you're in the image of God. And the life that you have that God gave it to you. You know that; no, because God is the healer. Life is the healer. You believe that, see. Seen so much done!

L-262   Now let's just accept Him, won't you? Before we do that, I wonder how many in here is convinced, before... If you're newcomers here, never been in here before, that you believe Him to be the Son of God? And by this, the Message tonight, the Word alone, before He even does anything, that you believe It, and you want me to remember you in prayer, raise up your hand. Will you? Oh! God bless you. Oh, my! Three or four hundred hands. God bless you.

L-263 "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing of the Word." The reason I said that, the Seed will find favor with God. I think now, instead of--of just calling a prayer line up here, I'll just have you to pray.

L-264   Let me give you a Scripture, first. With what we do, it must be Scriptural. Got to be Scriptural! God won't honor nothing else. God won't honor a lie; you know that. You--you couldn't attach that to Him. He don't honor lies. He only honors His Word. But He promised, that, "My Word will not return to me void. It'll accomplish that which It was purposed for." And we see the Word that's lotted today. No matter how much unbelief rises in the camp, God will honor His Word when He find faith to honor It by.

L-265   Now somewhere in the building, I want you to take this Scripture. Hebrews the 3rd chapter, I believe it is. The Bible said, that, "He's the High Priest, right now, that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities."
