John Graham Lake was a man of prayer and commitment.
To better understand the quality of his life,

you will want to read his consecration to
God at the close of this book. At the Lake

Healing Rooms in Spokane, Washington, 100,000
healings were recorded in five years. Dr.

Ruthlidge of Washington, D C, called Spokane
the healthiest city in the world as a result

of Lake's Healing Rooms.
John G Lake was born March 18, 1870, at St.

Mary's, Ontario, Canada. While he was still
a child, his parents moved to the United States.

At the age of 21, he became a Methodist minister,
but later chose to start a newspaper instead

of accepting a church ministry.
After his marriage, Lake's wife entered into

a prolonged serious illness, but was miraculously
delivered under the ministry of John Alexander

Dowie in April 1898. This experience forever
altered the direction of John G Lake's life

and ministry.
All that he accomplished as a result of his

intense regard for the Word of God stands
as an example to all Christians of what is

possible for any person who will believe and
act on the Scriptures.

I found God as a boy, so for 50 years, I have
been walking in the light of God understanding

fellowship with Him and listening to His Voice.
I want to call to your attention some of the

things the Christian enjoys that others miss.
A dear man received an injury that caused

his death in a motor accident not far from
Beaverton, the day after this man was killed,

I was visiting some friends in Beaverton and
they told me of his Injury. After our visit,

my wife and I were driving into the city.
As we were coming up one of the highway a

Voice said, "Pull onto the left of the road
and stop."

Don't you know that Voice, Christian heart?
That Voice is so common that I never even

spoke of it to my wife.
The left side is the wrong side of the road,

and you are breaking the traffic law to be
there. But I have listened to that Voice so

many years that I have learned in most cases
to obey it. Jesus said, "My sheep know my

voice." (John 10:27.)
(The thought I am trying to bring to you,

dear friends, is the value of knowing the
Lord and what communion with God means. Salvation

is not just something God gives you that is
going to bless you after you die; it is having

the presence of the Lord now. God has promised
to the Christian the guidance and direction

of the Holy Spirit.)
I pulled onto the left hand side of the road,

ran the wheels of my car close into the ditch,
and stopped. Immediately, I heard the grinding

of a great truck coming around the curve.
I had not seen it before. Instead of coming

normally, it was coming down the driver's
left hand side of the road at a 45 degree

angle. The truck had gone out of control and
was covering the whole road!

If I had been on my side of the road, it would
have sideswiped me and pushed me over the

bank.
A 100 foot drop down! But I was on the other

side when the great thing swept past me. The
truck went 50 to 100 feet beyond me, struck

a rough spot in the road, and straightened
itself. The driver got the truck under control

and went on. Dear friends, men in the Word
of God were guided by the Voice of God. God

talked to them. This is the inner thing of
real Christian experience, the reason men

seek by the grace of God to enter into the
real heart of God into the real soul of Jesus

Christ into the place where He lives within
you where His Voice speaks in your heart.

I was sitting one day in the home of the DeValeras
in Krugersdorp, South Africa, when a man arrived

who had traveled all over the country. He
had been following me from place to place,

trying to catch up with me. He suffered a
sunstroke which had affected his mind and

he also had developed a large cancer.
He came into the house and proved to be a

friend of the family. In a little while a
six year old child who had been sitting near

me went across the room, climbed on the man's
knees, put her hands on the cancer on his

face, and prayed. I saw the cancer wither.
In half an hour, the thing had disappeared.

The wound was still there, but in a few days
it was healed. After the child had laid her

hands on top of his head, he arose, saying,
"Oh! The fire that has been in my brain has

gone out," and his mind was normal. Power
belongs unto God. Psalms 62 Verse 11. The

simplest soul can touch God and live in the
very presence of God and in His power.

It is almost sadness to my soul that men should
be astonished and surprised at an ordinary,

tangible evidence of the power of God.
A woman came into the Healing Rooms once with

a tumor larger than a full grown unborn child.
Her physicians had been fooled, believing

it to be a child until nature's period had
passed. Then they decided it must be something

else. She came to the Healing Rooms and I
interviewed her. She said, "Mr. Lake, I have

the opinion of several physicians. They are
all different, but each has said, 'It is possible

it may be a child.' But now the time has passed,
and they do not know what to say." I put my

hand upon her for a moment, and I said, "Madame,
it is not a child; it is a tumor." She sat

down and wept. Her nurse was with her. Her
soul was troubled and she did not receive

healing. She came back on another afternoon
for prayer and returned the next day wearing

her corsets. She said, "I came down to show
you that I am perfectly normal. When I retired

last night at 10 o'clock, there was no evidence
that anything had taken place, beyond that

I felt comfortable and the choking was gone.
But when I awoke this morning, I was my normal

size." I asked, "Did it disappear in the form
of fluid?"

She said, "There was not an outward sign of
any character." Beloved, what happened to

it? It dematerialized. The tumor dissolved.
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!
I was in a meeting in Los Angeles on one occasion.

An old black man was conducting the services'.
He had the funniest vocabulary. But I want

to tell you, there were doctors, lawyers,
and professors listening to marvelous things

coming from his lips.
It was not what he said in words; it was what

he said from his spirit to my heart that showed
me he had more of God in his life than any

man I had ever met up to that time. It was
God in him who was attracting people. One

man insisted on getting up and talking every
little while. Some people have a mania for

talking.
The old black brother endured it for a long

time. Finally, the fellow got up again, and
the old man stuck his finger out and said,

"In the Name of Jesus Christ, sit down!" The
man did not sit down. He fell down. And his

friends carried him out. That is only one
of the living facts of what Christianity is:

the divine power of Jesus Christ by the Holy
Spirit, filling a man's soul and body, flashing

through his nature like holy flame, accomplishing
the will of God.

There is a baptism that belongs to Jesus.
It is in His supreme control. No angel or

man can bestow it. It comes from Him alone.
He it is which baptizes with the Holy Ghost.

John 1 Verse 33. So the individual who wants
the Holy Spirit must come into definite, conscious

contact with Jesus Christ Himself. Bless God!
Almost a year before I went to Africa, as

I was praying one night, I was overshadowed
by the Spirit of the Lord. The Lord showed

me various places in which I would labor for
five years and, by the illumination that would

appear in the heavens, I knew the extent of
the work in each place. The last of these

places I saw was South Africa. That night
as I knelt on the floor, I was suddenly present

at a church in Johannesburg, South Africa,
Where an acquaintance of mine was pastor.

I walked in the door of the church, walked
the entire length of the church to the front

and into a little vestry. I looked around
the place and took note of everything; the

furniture, the room, and all about it. All
of this occurred as I prayed in my hometown

near Chicago. In less than a year, I was in
that church and pastor of it. God did the

whole thing. I had nothing to do with it.
God having shown with the illumination the
