II CORINTHIANS 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
MARK 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. MARK 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
PSALM 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all
“Diseases and afflictions are all the results of sin, maybe not in your life, but in somebody's life before you. The devil is the author of sickness and afflictions. Before we had any devil, we had no sickness or affliction. But when Satan came, he brought with him sickness and afflictions. There's so many times that we refer to them as blessings. I never could think that God could get a blessing out of a sick person, unless it was a sinner, driving him to God, or a disobedient child, bringing him back to be reconciled to his Father. But sicknesses are the results of the devil and of the fall. There's... Today, we have the best doctors we've ever had. We got the best medical science, best hospitals we've ever had; and more sickness than we ever had. And in the day that when we've got the best medical science we ever had, they're constantly building institutions for the incurable. Right when we got the best scientific work on
afflictions and sickness we ever had; building institutions, yearly, for the incurable.”
[50-0100 Diseases And Afflictions, Louisville KY], [Exodus 15:26]
“Say for instance, today, that each one of you were sentenced to death. And you were setting in a prison, knowing that sunrise tomorrow morning you had to die... And many that is sinful, and away from God, is setting in that place this morning. Many people, who are real good people, are setting in that condition this morning. Many of you setting here with cancer, with tumor, and blindness, some of you setting in all kinds of conditions, yet God sent Christ to open the prison doors, to set you free. You say, "
Is sickness a bondage?" Yes. Jesus plainly explained it, when He said to the woman that had been stooped over. He healed her, laid His hands upon her, and she raised up. And they begin to find fault, the teachers did. He said, "Ought not this daughter of Abraham be loosed, set free from this bondage that she's been in of Satan?" So Christ our great Redeemer has come to set men and women free from sin and free from sickness. And when He died at Calvary, "He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed." Now, that's the good news. That's the Gospel. The
Gospel is that Christ died in the sinner's place, that Christ taken the sick man's place. Christ taken the sinner's place. Christ taken the worried man's place. Christ taken the maniac's place. Christ took every place and freed us from every affliction and every sin that the devil put us in the prison house by. Christ come to pardon us freely. Everything goes free.”
[55-0410M Proof Of His Resurrection, Jeffersonville IN] [Luke 13:11-16],
[Isaiah 53:5]
“You can completely submit yourself to the Holy Ghost, and no affliction can hold you. You walk by the power of the Holy Ghost. You are well; you give your testimony, everything else. You're healed by the power of the Holy Ghost. You that's sinful, that maybe drink and smoke and gamble and do things like that, you'd say, "I can't give them up, Brother Branham." Yes, you can.
You just submit yourself to God one time, and just yield your whole self to God and watch what takes place. That's the whole thing. There's no secret in it. It's not a hocus-pocus.
The only thing it is is submit yourself to God. Amen. There it is, and then it's--then it's not you any longer; it's the Lord. The Lord does it after that.?”
[54-0720A The Maniac Of Gadara, Chicago IL], [James 4:7]
“Then I thought, with a complete surrender to the Devil, can give a man maybe five times his strength, what would a complete surrender to God do to a man? What would it do to a cripple that's weak in body, and can't walk, or something? If we could just completely yield to the Holy Ghost, give us super strength, to rise in the Name, 'cause, "Greater is he that's in you than he that's in the world." See? You... The--the strength in God, that's in
you, is greater than any affliction can come upon you. There is nothing can overtake you, that can supersede you, because you are full of super power. And that super power is the Holy Spirit that dominates your life, if you are a Christian.” [63-1103 Go Wake Jesus, Tucson AZ], [I John 4:4], [Mark 5:1-20], [Luke 8 26-39]
“Greater is He that's in you, than that wheel chair. Greater is He that's in you, than that stretcher. Greater is He that's in you, than that cancer. Greater is He that's in you, than that affliction. Greater is He, than anything that there is the Devil could put on you. "Greater is He that's in you, than he that's in the world." Greater is He! Yes! Greater was David, what was in David; God in David.
He is in us, that's, the Christ. He was the conqueror of every enemy, for us. When He was here on earth, He conquered sin, He conquered sickness, He conquered death, He conquered hell, He conquered the grave, and now He lives in us as the Conqueror! He conquered sickness, hell, death, grave, and come to us to set us free from all those things. And greater is He that's in you, than he that can put these bluffs over on you. Yes! "Greater is He that's in you, than he that's in the world."”
[63-1110E He That Is In You, Jeffersonville IN], [I John 4:4]
“By the Word of the living God, by the challenge that the Word offers, that, "These signs shall follow them that believe." In the Presence of the resurrected Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in His Presence! The Presence, the Holy Spirit that's right now here, and has proved that it is Jesus among us, has roused us, Lord, from our slumber, till our hearts are beating fast with faith and praise. In
the Name of Jesus Christ, may every sickness turn loose from the people at this minute. May they be set free from all of their sickness and afflictions that they have. I charge Satan, by the Presence of Jesus Christ, in the commemoration of His Word, that said, "In My Name they shall cast out devils." We, as believing men and women, we challenge this devil. In the Name of Jesus Christ, leave this congregation
. Come out of every one of them. And may they go free, tonight, to go home, to find themselves free from sickness, free from pain, free from affliction, every one of them, Lord. In Jesus Christ's Name may it be so.”
[63-1103 Go Wake Jesus, Tucson AZ], [Mark 16:17]
“I, as your pastor, your brother, with what faith I have, I've asked God to place it on you. I believe that I'll receive what I have asked. Now if you will believe it with me; with what faith that I have, I give to you for this hour.
And now, in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, renounce your affliction, your sickness, and say to it, "You have to go," 'cause you have your faith, plus my faith, with the power of Jesus Christ, Whose omnipresence is here to vindicate it and prove that He is here, will make you well at this time.”
