Question

What should a believer do when people say divine healing is not right?

Answer

“Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe you receive it, you shall have it.” Do you believe that? Then take, no matter what person says, “Divine healing’s not right,” what person says, “this is not right,” take God at His Word. He said, “Let every man’s word be a lie and Mine be true.”...

Question

If divine healing is in the atonement, why is there still pain?

Answer

So, he said, “Well if they…Look here, Brother Branham.” Said, “If you would teach Divine healing in the atonement,” he said, “there would be no more pain. There is no pain, if you teach Divine healing in the atonement.” I said, “Now,” I said, “do you believe salvation’s in the atonement?” “Yes.” I s...

Question

Is preaching the Gospel around the world the 'greater works' Jesus promised?

Answer

Now, that’s right. That’s the reason He couldn’t heal all that day there at Bethesda, all the crippled—and crippled and withered, and so forth. The Father showed Him one man that had been sick for thirty-eight years with diabetes, or something. He said, “Take up your bed and go on home.” And he did...

Question

What keeps a person from being healed?

Answer

There’s only one thing that keeps you from being healed, if I read the Bible right (I believe I have millions that’ll agree with me on the Scripture.), that the only thing that keeps us from being healed is a lack of faith, that is, if our heart’s right with God. Is that right? If…He was wounded for...

Question

What is a gift of healing?

Answer

Only faith can heal you, your own individual faith. Don’t you see what a gift of healing is? A gift of healing isn’t something that’s in somebody to heal somebody else. The man that’s being prayed for has to have the—the healing. He has to have the faith. Is that right? (Excuse me.) All right.

Question

Is God the author of sickness?

Answer

Whew. I can’t see that. And I don’t say…And I don’t believe that’s intelligent. I don’t believe that’s…That’s not the Gospel of my Lord Jesus Christ. And God is not the author of sickness. You can’t pin that on my Father. He come to heal us. The devil is the one who makes us sick. Absolutely. If tha...

Question

Was Paul's thorn in the flesh a disease?

Answer

And I will admit there is a sickness unto death. And that’s why prophetic gifts are in the church to know these things. But to say that our Father, that a man had rheumatism, arthritis, say, “Yes, Lord. I’m just glad to have it. Glad You give it to me. I embrace it. I love it. I glory in tribulation...

Question

If Jesus is Jehovah-jireh, is He also Jehovah-rapha?

Answer

But if he said, “No,” then he wasn’t…If he—if he said, “No,” then He wasn’t Jehovah-jireh, the God’s provided Sacrifice. He’s Jehovah…If He isn’t…The redemptive Names of Jehovah, if they are not applied and fulfilled in Jesus, then He is not God’s provided Lamb, and you’re in your sins, and He was a...

Question

Did Paul anoint the handkerchiefs and aprons he sent out?

Answer

Look, if my baby was sick, and I wanted some man, that could come from…Now, many times, you believe in anointing a cloth. That’s all right; that’s perfectly all right. Anything that God will bless, I’m for it. Aren’t you? That’s right. See? Now, many people anoint the cloth, but if you’ll follow me...

Question

Was sickness included in the atonement Jesus made when He died?

Answer

If you bought my ticket…I’m fixing to drive home just in a little bit after the services, so I can get the wife and babies and be in Zion by Tuesday. But now…That’s about a six, seven hundred miles’ trip, right quick. Now, if you’d say, “Brother Branham, I have an airplane ticket laying out here for...

Question

Was Isaiah 53's 'with His stripes we are healed' fulfilled in Matthew 8?

Answer

And then, the Bible said that He’s the same. When He came on the earth, they said He came and fulfilled that in Matthew 8, many people say. Well, if He did it, then He fulfilled it before the atonement was made. So you see, you couldn’t ta…you couldn’t say that. When anybody tells you that, it’s wro...

Question

Is Brother Branham a divine healer?

Answer

Now…?…Now, it may be, take me just a little bit till I can—to feel the Angel of the Lord. See? It’s anointing that does this. And I—I can get to—to talk to the man maybe, just a little while. Now, are you a stranger to me, sir? Are…I want to get this microphone so you’ll be able to hear, if I can. B...

Question

Why did Jesus pass by the multitude at the pool of Bethesda and heal only one man?

Answer

You say why don’t I heal that little girl? If it was me, I would. See? Why’d He leave…Why’d He pass by that little spastic child, and those crippled, and lame, and halt, there at the pool of Bethesda, and moved right on by them, passed up, many of them standing there, the Bible said halt, lame, blin...

Question

Is sickness always the result of some secret sin in the sick person?

Answer

Here come these fine counsellors or church members. Job cursed the day he was born. He said, “May the stars not shine at night or the sun by the day.” But he wouldn’t curse God. And there, Satan got him right down to the very threadbare moment. Then some of his friends came, and instead of consoling...

Question

How is Divine healing now connected to the resurrection of the dead?

Answer

No wonder David cried out, “My flesh shall rest in hope, because He will not suffer my Holy One to see corruption, neither will He leave His soul in hell.” All back there, all pointing to Calvary. Then, in Jesus lays the complete of salvation, the complete of Divine healing, a…If there is no Divine...

Question

What should a person do when symptoms come back after they have been prayed for?

Answer

Now, God help us tonight to believe. Help us to lay aside every shadowy weight, and just move right in now with perfect virgin, unadulterated faith, Lord, and be healed, every one. For we ask it in His Name. Amen. [Blank spot on tape—Ed.] Symptoms arise, see it’s all by feeling then. Next morning wh...

Question

If a man says God sent him to heal the sick, how can people know whether that is true?

Answer

Now, if I come here and tell you that God told me to come down and to—and to heal the sick, and to open the eyes of the blind, to unstop the deaf ears, and…Well, that’s good. You…“Well, all right now, Brother Branham. If God told you to do that, I’ll—I’m going to look at your meetings. If He told yo...

Question

Can Brother Branham or any other man heal the sick?

Answer

[Blank spot on tape—Ed.]…paid the price. He’s the only one that can heal. He did it at Calvary. And for me to do something that He did at Calvary would be robbing Him of His Calvary sacrifice. So I can’t do it, Christian friends. And to be honest with you, I don’t believe there’s anyone else that ca...

Question

What does the oil represent when a sick person is anointed with oil and prayed for?

Question

Why were the sick healed as Peter's shadow passed by them?

Answer

You believe it? Look. A man, a Spirit filled, Pentecostal born, Holy Ghost man of God, called out, separated, stood under inspiration, knowing nothing about what Ananias and Sapphira had done, but when he came, they came into the building, the Holy Spirit revealed what had happened. And God rewarded...
