“HEALING FAITH”

TO
OUR READERS: We
are in the 23rd. year of publishing monthly sermons.
Some of you Dear Friends have been on our mailing list for a long time.
Without your Prayers and Financial support, this work could not have
been Possible. Others are
newcomers on the list. This note
is to remind you, that you have an important part in whatever good The Lord
has been able to bring out of it. All
do not always agree with the teaching, but all have strived to take the
Prophet William Branham’s teaching to the scriptures and tie the two
together. We do not claim to be
above error, because all of us are fallible, we do receive correction, and
thank God that He will not leave us wrong.
The last of the three major messengers are gone from the Earth now, and
Br. Branham believed that when the last one was gone, then the world would
Soon be in the Great Tribulation. It
seems to this writer, that we are entering into that now.
We know the Bride will be gone before the 3½ years of great trouble
really starts. Surely the Marriage
Supper is just around the corner. No
earthly joy can compare with Seeing our Lord and our departed loved ones face
to face. See you Soon.

Many
in our message are still struggling with the problem of faith for healing.
Hundreds who have not a doubt that God has “Accepted them in the
Beloved” and that their soul is “Eternally secure in Christ” are yet
uncertain concerning their health.
God does not intend for this to be so.
When the cold hand of death lays hold on those in the world around us,
God does not intend for His Bride to
be intimidated by this enemy. He will
no doubt come to us and whisper, “Some day that will also be your fate.”
But, our Father wants us to have the Devil’s answer.
There is a powerful revelation that our prophet brought, that when seen
and understood will set us free from fear, sickness and diseases.
Our Faith that is already relying on God for the safety of the soul, and
makes us to know that we will not fall into hell when we die, that SAME FAITH
will, when directed toward the physical body save it from sickness.
It is the SAME FAITH!
When pointed toward the soul, the soul is saved.
When pointed toward the BODY, the body is saved.
It is only a matter of using the faith we already have and directing it
toward the outer man so he is included in God’s plan of salvation.
Brother Branham taught that we should use the faith we ALREADY HAVE in
Jesus concerning the soul, and claim healing for the body.
QUOTE: LOOK AWAY TO JESUS, PAGE 46, “Now, if He will tell me
what you are here for, will you use the FAITH THAT YOU (ALREADY) HAVE IN HIM to
believe what you are here for? With
all your heart….all right. May the
Lord grant it.”
The Bible teaches it, and I hold the faith key in my hand, or in my
heart, that says, “That’s God’s Word”, that will quench the violence of
fire, it will unlock HEALING for the sick, it will unlock SALVATION to the
soul.” (End quote)
Do we see that he is teaching ONE FAITH for all needs?
Now, let us take the prophet’s statements to the scriptures.
When we find it there, we have our ABSOLUTE.
Eph. 4: 4-6 teaches ONE FAITH. “There
is one body and one Spirit, even as you are called IN ONE HOPE of your calling.
One Lord, ONE FAITH, one Baptism, one God and Father of all, and through
all, and in you all.”
Notice what the Scripture says. We
are called in ONE HOPE of our salvation. It
goes on to say there is only ONE FAITH connected with our salvation.
Whether it be salvation for the soul, body or spirit, ONE FAITH WORKS for
the whole man. We are to see ourselves as one UNIT, and the whole unit saved by
ONE FAITH. Never did the Lord intend
for this faith to be so divided as to save only a part of us. We
are to use the
same faith
and claim the whole man saved.
What a powerful truth has been revealed here.
We are to understand and believe that when the soul is believing for its
salvation there is also already PRESENT in that same assurance all that is
needed to heal the body. Does not
the scriptures say that once the soul has prospered so that it believes it is
saved so can the BODY prosper in
health? Surely it does.
3
John, Verse 2, “Beloved I wish
above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul
prospereth.”
May the Lord open our eyes so that we can use
the SAME FAITH that prospered our soul to take back our health from the enemy.
Psalm 34:19, “Many
are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them
all.”
Once this truth drops into our hearts, we will
never again testify.“I do not have
faith to be healed.” We cannot deny faith and see it work at the same time.
Though faith for the whole man has
been there all along, it remains for it to be claimed.
“They
overcame him (the devil) by the blood
of the Lamb and BY THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY.” (REV. 12:11) To
the power of the cross these Christians had to add their testimony. So will we
have to open our mouths and testify to having healing faith.
And this will be no problem once we know it’s there.
In
saying all that has been said thus far, we do not discount the fact that it was
the WORD that gave us faith to claim security for our soul.
In like manner it is the WORD that has revealed God’s will concerning
security for the body. I believe that, for the most part, our readers are those
who know God’s Word.
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you.” (1 Cor. 3:16) Do we
understand that the body of Christ is still on earth?
His Bride, an actual organic, living, moving reality, indwelt by Himself?
We are the Temples of the Most High God as surely as was Jesus the
Christ, and there is nothing Holier this side of Heaven.
“If any man defile the Temple of God, him shall God destroy, for the
Temple of God is HOLY, which Temple ye are.” (1 Cor. 3:17)
How
unthinkable it should be for us to allow satanic germs of sickness to dwell in
this Temple with our Christ. We must
allow them no place. Could the angry
waves of Galilee have entered the boat with the Disciples to swamp them, if they
had properly aware of His presence?
We
are His Temple. Did not our prophet
teach us that it had been the eternal purpose of God. to make a tabernacle for
Himself. He would not forever dwell
in temples made with human hands, He would not forever hide Himself behind a
veil of skins. The best buildings that men can construct are being destroyed by
fires, mud slides, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes.
What
is to remain? Nothing but a Temple!
A Temple not made with hands, a living Temple which is the habitation of
the Eternal God. According to the
prophet, this is the consummation of the mystery, Christ in flesh
bodies, the hope
of glory! Christ in His Bride in the form of
the Holy Ghost Pulling down the Strongholds of the devil, as we obey God’s.
orders to take back the dominion that
Adam gave Satan.
Our weapon that has been a secret for so long is now revealed.
It is the words of our mouth that comes forth from hearts that have been
cleansed and made righteous. Pr.
18:21 “Death and Life are
In the Power of the tongue:
and they
that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
The first man, Adam, lost the dominion.
The last man, Jesus bought it back, and has given His Authority over it
to the Church. (His Bride Church) God’s
Promise to us is that whatever we bind on Earth is bound by Him in Heaven,
and whatever we loose on Earth is
loosed by Him in Heaven.
He
is at this time delivering to His Bride the Faith
to rule
on Earth under His
Leadership!!!! But we must
remember the Scripture
that says,
“Who is he that
saith
and it
cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?”
(Lam. 3:37)
God
has never removed His orders in GEN. 1:28 that man should rule over the
Earth in His Stead. “And God
blessed them,
and said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply,
and replenish the
earth, and subdue it: and
have dominion
over the
fish of
the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth
upon the earth.”
The
Bride Church is to take back the rule that Adam lost. We are
in that Place of Faith now, and the work is being done.
This
will allow the Lord to Finish the Work He has Spoken should be done before He
takes the Bride out. It is Christ
back on Earth in the human Flesh of His Bride.
She is speaking for him and He is backing it up.
See you soon.
