"Nothing Out of the Ordinary" 10/10 Wednesday Wisdom

This is one of my favorite John G. Lake quotes. Healing was so common that it was "nothing out of the ordinary". God, give us this kind of faith today!


At the tabernacle service Thursday night, it was a very sweet service with nothing out of the ordinary. Mrs. Arlow of Wurther, instantly healed of violent internal inflammation.

Exercise 10/9 Tuesday Truth

Beloved, we have seen that the Holy Ghost came into the Church at Pentecost and that those gifts are there also, but through lack of faith we do not see them exercised.

John G. Lake 10/8 Monday Meditation

John G. Lake (1870-1935) had one of the greatest evangelistic / healing ministries of all time, along with Smith Wigglesworth and Maria Woodworth-Etter. He got serious about the Word of God after seeing nearly every relative in his enormous family die of horrible diseases. After Lake got ahold of the Word, four family members were instantly healed of longstanding conditions. His ministry centered in South Africa and later in Spokane, Washington. His ministry recorded over 100,000 healings in Spokane alone in five years.


And now, beloved, is the Holy Ghost in the Church today? Verily, yes. But you say, "We don't see Him work in this way in our church!" Why? Because you say, "All these things were for apostolic days." Can you find anywhere in the Scriptures that the gifts of the Holy Ghost were withdrawn from the Church of Christ? There is no biblical authority for such an assertion, but rather we read, "The gifts and calling of God are without repentance" (Romans 11:29).

Floods of Blessing 10/5 Friday Faith

It is not His will that we should be limited to occasional dews of His grace, but His unbounded mercy reveals itself in the promise of “floods” of blessing “upon the dry ground".

How Precious We Are 10/4 Thursday Thoughts

Read with me Deuteronomy 32:9-14. That the Lord’s people are the Lord’s portion is a precious thought, for He left everything in order that He might have this portion. So, I believe the Lord means for us to realize how very, very precious we are to Him. We remember how in our own experience He found us in a “desert land” and in the “waste howling wilderness,” and led us about and instructed us and kept us as the apple of His eye.

Unspeakable Hunger 10/3 Wednesday Wisdom

As I went on with the Lord I felt an unspeakable hunger springing up within me for more of God. I hardly knew how to pray, but would sometimes turn to my Heavenly Father and say to Him, ‘What dost Thou want?” ; because it seemed to me it was more His desire to obtain full possession of me than my desire for Himself.

Open Thy Mouth Wide 10/2 Tuesday Truth

Jesus bids us “ask and receive” that our “joy may be full.” We obey His command in asking, but we do not throw open our souls that we may receive. God’s word to us is, “Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it” (Psa. 81:10), yet we do not pause in our cries of hunger to accept what is so freely offered.
