The Days of Miracles 12/12 Tuesday Truth

Ministers and churches throughout the land have seen that, although the church has taught that the days of miracles only belonged to the times of the apostles, that statement was a falsehood. They have seen that the healing power of God is as available to the honest ouul today as it was in the days of Christ on the earth. "The gifts and callings of God are without repentance," (Romans 11:29) and Jesus is the Healer still. -- John G. Lake

A New Light 12/11 Monday Meditation

A new light dawned in our souls. The church had diligently taught us that the days of miracles had passed, and believing this, eight members of the family had been permitted to die. But now, with the light of truth flashing in our hearts, we saw that as a lie, no doubt invented by the devil and diligently heralded as truth by the church, thus robbing mankind of its inheritance through the blood of Jesus. -- John G. Lake.

When You Pray 12/8 Friday Faith

Oh, beloved, when you pray, something is happening in you! It is not a myth; it is the action of God. The Almighty God, by the Spirit, comes into your soul, takes possession of your brain, and manifests Himself in the cortex cells of your brain. When you wish and will, either consciously or unconsciously, the fire of God -- the power of God, that life of God, that nature of God -- is transmitted from the cortex cells of your brain and throbs through your nerves down through your person, into every cell of your being -- into every cell of your brain, your blood, your flesh, and your bone -- into every square inch of your skin, until your are alive with God! -- John G. Lake.

What Is a Miracle? 12/7 Thursday Thoughts

What is a miracle? It is the tangible evidence of the supreme control of the Spirit of God over every character and form of materiality. Beloved, the power of such an event, such an act and sign, shows you and me that through living, positive, actual contact with the Spirit of God, all things are possible. Blessed be His name! -- John G. Lake.

A Sadness 12/6 Wednesday Wisdom

It is almost a sadness to my soul that men should be astonished and surprised at an ordinary, tangible evidence of the power of God. -- John G. Lake (Commentary: That is, miracles and answered prayer should be so common that we are not surprised at them. --Lep)

D-o-n'-t or B-e 12/5 Tuesday Truth

Men are afraid to say yes to God. When a young man, I sat in a little meeting one night when the Spirit was talking to my heart. I said, "If I am going to be a Christian, I cannot do this, and I cannot do that." Oh, mighty God, it almost makes my soul vomit in these days to think of the average conception a man has of Christianity. About 90% of so-called Christianity is all spelled with four letters, d-o-n'-t. Don't do this and don't do that... Why, bless God, religion is all contained in two letters, b-e. Not performing acts, but being the thing that God purposed. -- John G. Lake.

The Secret of Christianity 12/4 Monday Meditation

The secret of Christianity is in being. It is in being a possessor of the nature of Jesus Christ. In other words, it is being Christ in character, Christ in demonstration, Christ in agency of transmission. When a person gives himself to the Lord and becomes a child of God, a Christian, he is a Christ-man. All that he does and all that he says from that time forth should be the will and the words and the doings of Jesus, just as absolutely and entirely as He spoke and did the will of the Father. -- John G. Lake.
