Actually, there's substantial evidence that "Thus saith the lord" failed over and over again. Why else would Branham have been forced to explain how people who were divinely healed later died of their original illnesses? He got around the obvious failures of his "healings" by telling people that their faith faltered and they let the devil back in. How bloody convenient. So how come Jesus never told anybody in the New Testament that they might need to keep professing their healing over and over, and that they might actually feel sicker after they were healed because their bodies would need to process the dead growths, etc.? (If God can kill the demon, can't he also eliminate the necrotic tissue?)

Jesus' healing: He touches you, tells you you're healed, and you go on your way, instantly whole.

Branham's healing: He lays hands on you and prays, then you publicly profess your belief over and over again until the "lying symptoms" go away, even though you will probably feel even worse for a while, and you must remain vigilant lest the demons of sickness that were cast out of you return even stronger. If you die, it's your fault for not believing hard enough.

Not the same.
