Transcript
And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
Introduction.
Healing and salvation are by the same atonement, but because redemption of the Body and Spirit are not complete, you can lose your healing.
First Pull
I can only tell you the vibrations is gone when God stops the vibrations.
Now, I can’t stop them. I’m no healer; He’s the Healer. But when I see them stopped, they’re not stopped my me; they’re stopped by God.
And if I tell you that, if you doubt it, then you’re going to be sick again. If you believe it, you’re going to get well. That’s right. Nothing can keep it from getting well. 47-1123 - The Children Of Israel
178 Here, friends. If you ever was healed, if you live long enough you’re going to get sick again.
But if you one time take that Token, you’ve had It forever. “Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed until the Day of your Redemption.”
Not to the next revival; you wasn’t sealed; you got emotionally worked up. “But you are dead, and your life is hid in God, through Christ, and you are sealed by the Holy Ghost.”
If you are once baptized into that Holy Spirit! Now, you can backslide, that is true. But you can’t get away from that Seal. You’re sealed into It. 64-0208 - The Token
How do you keep your healing?
By Ignoring Symptoms
One of the problems Bro. Branham noticed early on is that people would be healed of cancer, especially a tumor, but when the life left the body of the cancer it actually made them sicker, even though they were healed.
Bro. Metcalf Testimony
Ron Spencer
Bro. Metcalf in car.
Bro. Metcalf hurt so bad that he asked God to remove his healing and take him home.
“You had nothing whatever to do with your healing, now get up, and go on”.
Jonah was in a whale’s belly, but he said this.
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
139 Now we’re always thinking about Jonah. And everybody say, “Now I was prayed for, but my hand is no better. I was prayed for, but I don’t feel no better.” Don’t you ever holler at Jonah.
140 Now look at the symptoms he had. Now, first place, he was out on a stormy sea, and he was off of the course that God had sent him.
His hands and feet was bound. He was throwed into a storming, raging sea, and a whale swallowed him and went plumb down in the bottom of the sea.
And he was laying there in the vomit, in the whale’s belly, seaweeds around his neck. And if he looked this a way, it was whale’s belly. He looked that way, it was whale’s belly. Everywhere he looked, it was the whale’s belly.
You talk about a case of symptoms, he might have had it. But you know what he said? He said, “They are lying vanities. I’ll not no more look at them, but once more will I look to Your holy temple.”
141 For, Solomon, a natural man of earth, who prayed in dedicating a temple, said, “Lord, if Thy people be in trouble anywhere, and look to this holy place, then hear from Heaven.”
142 And Jonah had faith in what Solomon had prayed. And God delivered him from the whale, after three days and nights.
He might have put an oxygen tent down there. I don’t know what He did, but He kept him alive for three days and nights, according to the Word. And the Word is right.
143 Well, if Jonah, under those circumstances, could look again to the tabernacle that a man made, how much more ought you and I, tonight,
to look to the Temple where Jesus stands at the right hand of the Majesty, with His Own Blood, making intercessions on our profession, on our little symptoms!
Don’t condemn Jonah, and then look at what’s wrong with you. Look to the promise, “God said so!”
If you’re the children of Abraham, “God said so!” He made the promise, and that settles it. 64-0321E - The Voice Of The Sign
2. By Giving your Testimony
Kennett Testimony
There’d been a blind man from up in Kennett, was healed that night before that. And he was going on his road home, been drawing a blind pension for twelve years.
And he was healed. I asked God to bless him. I said, “Do you believe?” He said, “With all my heart.” I said, “Go on rejoicing, testifying of your healing.”
They led him out to an old Ford. He started up the road, about a hundred and something miles up to Kennett, Missouri.
And he was going up the road, praising God for his sight, just as blind as he could be. All at once, he screamed.
He said, “Stop the car. I see the lights.” He jumped out of the car, up-and-down the road he went, jumping and screaming.
He went into Kennett, just…Or at the Catholic church was having mass, put his cane up in the air and his hat on there. He walked down through the Catholic church, screaming, “I’m healed.
I’m healed by the glory of God.” Out into the Methodist church he went. Up-and-down the streets he…?…the country there. They were testifying everywhere of his healing. 50-0820E - Believe Ye That I Am Able To Do This?
A pentecostal lady came to Bro. Ivy’s church and heard them talking about a blind man being healed in Bro. Branham’s meetings, after the service she gave the testimony of the blind man in Kennett, more than 60 years later.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Your testimony matters.
John Rhyn
23 That night, when he come back to service, we was in a little place with a little balcony, like that; had about, oh, I guess, seat about twenty-five hundred people.
And there was…He just set up there, and he holler, “Everybody keep quiet.” He’d raise up and holler, “Praise the Lord for healing me.” Set back down.
About time I’d get started preaching again, he’d say, “Everyone keep quiet. Praise the Lord for healing me.” Well, he’d disturb me every time I start…
The ushers would go to stop him, I said, “Let him alone, that’s what I told him to do.” So, he kept on doing that. 53-1121 - Brass Serpent
About two or three weeks after I left, a little boy led him across to the barber shop. Now, he’s preaching Divine healing on the field today. And so, led him across to the barber shop to get a shave.
Well, a little smart-aleck barber, you know, had more intelligence than he had gumption to know how to control.
So he set him back in the barber chair, and lathered up his jaws, and shaved about one side down. He said, “Say, dad, I heard you was up to see the Divine healer when he come up.”
Said, “Yeah, I was up.” He said, “I heard you got healed.”
He said, “Yes, praise the Lord for healing me.” And his eyes come open. And he jumped up out of the barber chair with the towel on his neck and the barber chasing him with a razor in his hand.
Down the street they went. “Praise the Lord, for healing me.” See, he stayed with it. Stay with it. Hold on. God said so. That settles it. Stay right there. 59-0423 - Abraham's Seed
A testimony is a witness.
You’re going to testify of something, either of your healing or your sickness. If you don’t testify of healing, your silence testifies of your sickness.
30 What if someone came up in the morning to your door, express agent, and throwed a whole basketful of rattlesnakes, and had your name on them. Said, “Here they are; they’re yours.”
You know they’re there, just like you know your symptoms is there. If you receive them, they’re yours. But you don’t have to take them. You can say, “I don’t want them.”
Say, “Your name’s on them.” Say, “I don’t want them. I won’t have them.”
He can stand there and argue as much as he wants to. But until you take them and sign for them, they belong to the express company until you sign for them.
Don’t sign for nothing the devil brings. You say, “There it is, though I refuse to have it.” That’s right. “Take it back.” Have nothing to do with it.”
If you won’t testify that you’ve got it…When you testify you still have your sickness, the devil keeps it with you. But refuse to testify of it. Say, “I won’t have it. No, sir.”
31 Oh, my. That’s when you’re getting faith. Give your faith a chance. Turn it loose; unbridle it; let it work. You’ve got it all bound down with traditions. Turn it loose; cut it loose.
Let God have His way with you. Somebody’s word’s right, either what you’re looking at or what God says. God’s Word is true. Believe It. All right.
But the first time you testify of your sickness, it brings you right down to that realm again. You signed for it. Refuse to sign for it. Testify of what you believe.
32 When I had stomach trouble, so bad till even the doctors said there’s not…?…you. That was Mayos’ too.
I accepted Him upon this Scripture. He’s the High Priest of my confession. I said, “I refuse to testify any more, nothing but what God says. I believe His Word.”
Jesus died to heal us. Every one of you is healed. Every one of you is healed right now. Jesus has already healed you; you just have to confess it and believe it. That’s right.
By His stripes you were (past tense) healed. That’s when He did it at Calvary. That’s when He overcome all sickness and sin and all, at Calvary, for you.
Just like a table set, it’s there. Only thing you have to do is go eat. You have to accept it, believe it in your heart, and confess it. And He’s the High Priest of your confession. 50-0810 - Expectations
3. By Joy and Rejoicing
The Leper was made whole because he came and gave thanks.
247 Do you believe God can heal that asthma and make you well, son? Go on your road, rejoicing, being healthy and happy.
64-0417 - Then Jesus Came And Called
245 Come, lady. You suffer with a nervous trouble. You believe that God can make you well of that? [The sister says, “Amen.”—Ed.] All right. Just go, saying, “Praise the Lord!”
See, a little wheel turning way down here. It used to turn up here. You used to be a happy little person when you were young, full of joy and jolly. And all at once, something happened.
Now just go up there, and believe that again. Just start, happy, rejoicing, Jesus Christ will bring you to it. God bless you. Go, believe it now, with all your heart. All right.
64-0417 - Then Jesus Came And Called
242 Come, lady. Now the same thing. Don’t you let them tell you that. It’s a nervous condition. You believe that God is going to make you well, tonight?
It’s your only hope of doing it. Start on your road, rejoicing, happy, and smiling, and be like you used to be. See?
64-0401 - The Identified Christ Of All Ages
When you pass through, just like you was under the Cross, believe with everything that’s in you. Go away from here rejoicing, happy, saying,
“Thank You, Lord. I believe my healing.” And if you don’t believe that, then you’d be just as well to take your seat, because it won’t do one bit of good. 64-0315 - Influence
305 As Your anointed elder goes forward, placing that oil, that little oil that runs down on their forehead, that symbolizes (oil is) the Spirit.
We put that on there, to let the people know that this virgin olive oil has been placed upon their head in similarity of the Holy Spirit coming.
Then when I lay hands upon them, myself, may they go to their seat so happy, rejoicing, a finished work. “It’s all over.” They’re healed. They go home, to be well. Grant it, Lord.
306 And the shouts and praises will raise up, from all over the city, around different places where these people will go.
“You know, I once had stomach trouble, but it’s gone. I once had so-and-so, certain diseases, but it’s gone. 60-1113 - Condemnation By Representation
I just heard that Message that morning, ‘Breeding back to the Word,’ and I come back to the Word. And I believe the Word, and now I’m well.” Grant it, Father.
Jehosaphat and the Moabites.
Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the Lord in the midst of the congregation;
And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.
And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the Lord, worshipping the Lord.
And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on high.
And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever.
And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.
And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the Lord: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.
Not the valley where we were blessed, but the valley where we blessed God.
Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the Lord.
And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel.
So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.
Conclusion.
How do you receive your healing? Hearing, recognizing and acting on the Word.
Ho do you keep your healing? By ignoring symptoms, giving your testimony, and going on your way rejoicing.
