Introducing John G. Lake 1/4 Monday Meditation

I am going to begin the new year with quotes from John G. Lake (1870-1935).  Lake had one of the largest evangelistic / healing ministries of all time, first in South Africa, and later centered in the State of Washington.  You might want to Google him or you might want to join "John G. Lake Fan Page" on Facebook.  I have the 1000-page complete teachings, but my quotes will be few, as his teachings did not lend themselves well to brief "sound bytes".

 

There used to be a Bible school in Ohio where they waited in continuous prayer meeting for nine months for the Gifts of the Holy Ghost.  I said to them, "It seems to me if you stay around for ten years and nine months you will miss the Gifts of the Holy Ghost.  But if you take off your coat and go out and use what God has given you to bless others, He will give you more."
