“HEALING FAITH”

By C.W. Wood                                                                                 April, 2018

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.  Br. Wood

 


 


 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.
