Divine healing’s in reach of every person, and every person that is a Christian has a right to pray for the sick. That’s right. If there’s any among you sick, call the elders.

Question

Is there a spirit behind a germ or a cancer?

Answer

But notice. A germ…What is a germ? Now, we take a cancer, what is it first? Why, it’s a growth, tumor, cataract, goiter? They’re growths. Is that right? And they become malignant and cancers. Well, a growth is a multiplication of cells. And let’s dig down below that now. Below that growth is a—is a...

Question

Did Christ atone for sickness when He died for our sins?

Answer

Now, here’s what happens. Sin is what brought sickness in the world. Sickness is a result of sin. Now, before we had any sickness, we had no sin. And when sin came, sickness was a results of sin.

Question

Does a sick person have to come up to the platform to be healed?

Answer

Somehow I just, somehow, I believe that there’s great things going to happen, don’t you? Look, Moses performed his signs one time before the children of Israel and every one of them believed him. Is that right? He didn’t have to put his hand in the second time to make his sign. He didn’t have to tur...

Question

Do the two signs Brother Branham was given heal the sick?

Answer

Listen at the order of it; ministers, especially. Now, here it is, now listen close. “If you get the people to believe you,” He said, “Be sincere when you pray, nothing will stand before your prayer.” I said, “They won’t believe me. I’m uneducated, I can’t speak right, and I have a poor family and s...

Question

Why do some people healed on the platform lose their healing afterward?

Answer

I’ve seen people come to the platform that was totally blind, couldn’t even see their hands before them. And in less than five minutes, take this same Bible and read a chapter out of it. And so three or four days more, come right back just as blind as they was in the first place. They get out amongs...

Question

Do you have to be a Christian to be healed?

Answer

Jesus is not going to ask me if I was Methodist, Lutheran, Baptist, or Pentecost; He’s going to judge me to what I was in my heart. That’s right. And that’s what He will judge us all by. So now, don’t think it’s just one church. We represent all the churches. And many of the people that come into th...

Question

How long does a Divine healing last?

Answer

Somebody says, “How does Divine healing…Is it…Does it last all the time?” It lasts just as long as faith lasts. And salvation lasts the same way, just as long as faith lasts. When you feel that you’re not saved any more, you’re not saved. For it’s by faith are you saved through grace. Is that right?...

Question

Does it take a gift of healing to heal the sick?

Answer

Just for a little text, if I should call it that, I want to speak for a moment or two on the word of “Expectation.” We always get what we expect. When people expect anything, well then they usually get what you look for. It’s the mental attitude that you have. Remember this, and never forget it. The...

Question

How does expectation affect what a person receives from God?

Answer

Daniel was expecting God to deliver him from the lions’ den. The Hebrew children, when they went in the fiery furnace, they said, “Our God is able…” They was expecting God to deliver them. And they made the last step of the way before He came, but He’s always there at the last end. Jesus comes in th...

Question

Are a person's sins forgiven when they are healed?

Answer

Many of them understood Him. The common people heard Him gladly. And it’s a great deal that way today. But I’ve noticed the peoples; all denominations almost attend the meetings.

Question

According to James 5:14, whose duty is it to pray for the sick?

Answer

“Go ye and sin no more, or a worse thing come upon you.” Jesus said, “Which is it easier do? Say thy sins be forgiven thee, or take up thy bed and walk”? It’s all on the same. And so I believe in James 5:14, said, “If any among you are sick, let them call the elders of the church; let them anoint th...

Question

Does receiving healing depend on what you feel?

Answer

There’s a fountain open, flowing freely everywhere. Just drink till you just can’t drink no more. The tree, if it just drink to what it was allotment, why, it would just always, still in the drought. That’s what’s the matter with the Christians. They don’t drink enough. You want to drink till you ju...

Question

Does the gift of healing itself heal anyone?

Answer

If I tell you anything, and Christ doesn’t say that’s so, then don’t you believe it. But if I tell you something that He’s done and He testifies behind, that He has done that, then you believe Him. Is that fair enough? That’s… Now, the gift doesn’t heal no one. The gift is not for healing, no more t...

Question

When a pastor prays for the sick, does healing depend on his prayer or on the sick person's faith?

Answer

When your pastor prays for you, say, “Well, he must not be a man of God, or God would’ve heard his prayer.” What about your faith? It’s your faith that touches God, not altogether his prayer. You’re obeying God’s Word. And when you obey God’s Word, God’s under obligation to answer you, if you believ...

How is divine healing related to the immortal body in the resurrection?

Answer

Well, isn’t He the same God tonight? Is them miracles impossible tonight? No, they’re not. And they’re just as possible as they was then.

Question

Does praying for the sick take the place of medical doctors?

Answer

Now, in these meetings I do not wish to—that anyone would miss—be misinformed. I do not take—try to take the place of a medical doctor. This is not Mayo Clinic. This is the house of prayer. When medical doctors, God put them here; they’re doing a good job. But medical doctors does not claim to heal...
