Do you know what prayer is? It is not begging God for this and that. The first thing we have to do is to get you beggars to quit begging until a little faith moves in your souls.

When a Christian tries to live by reason he is moving out of God’s country into the enemy’s land. We belong in the miraculous and the supernatural realm.
John G. Lake
Image
There is only one reality. That reality is God. The soul of man must contact God, and unless the spirit of man is truly joined to God, there is no such thing as real Christian manifestation.
John G. Lake
Image
Fear of the devil is nonsense. Fear of demons is foolish. The Spirit of God anointing the Christian heart makes the soul impregnable to the powers of darkness.
John G. Lake
Image
The Spirit of God is as destructive of evil as it is creative of good.
John G. Lake
Image
There were days when the Church could club men into obedience by preaching Hell to them, but that day has long passed. The world has outgrown it.
John G. Lake
Image
It is a sad thing when you hear Christians with a groan in them. When I meet the groaner, I say in my heart, God, move that man on into the place where he comprehends what Christianity is.

When I saw for the first time by the Word of God that sickness was not the Will of God, everything in my nature rose up to defeat the will of the devil.

Healing is not always obtained by saying a prayer. It is obtained by obeying God
John G. Lake
Image
In those early centuries of Christianity, Christianity did not go into the world apologizing. It went to slay the powers of darkness and undo the works of the devil, and it lived in holy triumph.
John G. Lake
Image
Jesus did not heal the sick in order to coax them to be Christians. He healed because it was His nature to heal.
John G. Lake
Image
Beloved, if any unholiness exists in the nature, it is not there by the consent of the Spirit of God. If unholiness is in your life it is because your soul is giving consent to it, and you are retaining it. Let it go. Cast it out and let God have His way in your life.
John G. Lake
Image
It became easy for me to detach myself from the course of life, so that while my hands and mind were engaged in the common affairs of every day, my spirit maintained its attitude of communion with God.
John G. Lake
Image
The secret of Christianity is in being. It is in being a possessor of the nature of Jesus Christ.
John G. Lake
Image
A mans life will be of the character of his thought. His outward life will be as the inner impulse is.

Image
Sanctification is possessing the mind of Christ.

Image
Science is the discovery of how God does things.
John G. Lake
Image
If the Church ever succeeds in doing that big thing, that great thing, that unspeakable thing that God purposes that we should do, it can only be when we enter into that Divine compassion of the Son of God.

God, move that man on into the place where he comprehends what Christianity is.
