John G Lake

[quietbloke]

I have been reading the 'Adventures In God' of John G Lake (1830 - 1935) He was a great man of prayer and ministry and used in healings and miracles. He was born in Canada,but moved as a child with his parents to U S A. He became a Methodist minister at 21 years of age,but started a newspaper instead of taking on a church. He married a Christian lady called Jenny but she became seriously ill,but God miraculously healed her under the ministry of John Alexander Dowie,a Pentecostal healing Evangelist. This began a completely new chapter in his life and ministry. God used him mightily in wonderful miracles and healings.

He was greatly used in South Africa and Washington D C. In his healing rooms in Spokane 100,000 healings were recorded in 5 years.

It's now headed up by Curry Blake who received his mantle years ago. However, it's operated under the same name as John G. Lake. I had the privilege to travel to Texas for a healing seminar conducted by Blake. Curry doesn't mess around. He has the office of an apostle and is one of the forerunners in healing to this day.

In his consecration chapter,John G Lake wrote,'This day consecrated my whole life to glorify my Heavenly Father by my obedience to the principles of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. All my effort from now on will be directed in an effort to the righteousness of God in whatsoever I may be engaged in'
