Introduction
This volume contains much concerning the life of the late John G. Lake. Originally, this volume opened with Lake's book "Adventures in God," and then was followed by radio transcripts, sermons, and articles.
However, it seemed expedient to open this work with a quote from Lake, and an outline that was printed later in his ministry that laid out the premise of divine healing. This may not be the best teaching on the subject that he ever published, but it serves as a great primer to begin our study of Lake's life and teachings.
Read this volume prayerfully, keeping your Bible always before you. There is no doubt that you will be blessed by the teachings of John G. Lake, but always remember that the same Jesus who blessed His life and ministry is here to bless your own.
THE EDITOR
An Education in Faith
Printed in The Pentecost, Indianapolis, Indiana, December 1908
There is no education in faith like seeing God do the thing. I have a conviction that you can pray and pray and pray until Jesus comes, but unless you get up and believe Him for the thing and commence to use what He has given you, you will never know any more, and you really pray yourself into unbelief. The results that God has given us demonstrate this to my mind.

Teaching on the Subject of Healing for the Body
Printed in The Spokesman Review, Februray 25, 1918
JOHN G. LAKE, our pastor founder of Lake's Spokane Divine Healing Institute, where Fifty Thousand Healings by the power of God have taken place in three years. The lame, deaf, halt and blind have found Jesus Christ a present day Savior and Healer. Where Tumors, Cancers, Tuberculosis, Appendicitis, Gall-Stones and all the multitude of diseases that curse mankind have vanished by the touch of Jesus, our Lord.
The WORD OF GOD, that neither World, Church, Preacher, Doctor or Devil can deny.
Teaching on the Subject of Healing for the Body
1. HEALING BY GOD, THROUGH FAITH AND PRAYER, WAS PRACTICED BY THE PATRIARCHS.
"Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants; and they bare children." Gen. 20:17
2. GOD MADE A COVENANT OF HEALING WITH THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
A Covenant is an indisoluble Agreement, and can never be annulled. The laws of South Carolina recognized marriage as a Covenant, not a legal contract. Therefore in that state there was no divorce. A Covenant can not be annulled.
God tested the Nation at the Waters of Marah, and made a COVENANT with them known as the Covenant of Jehova Rophi:
a. "IF THOU WILT DILIGENTLY HARKEN TO THE VOICE OF THE LORD THY GOD.
b. AND WILT DO THAT WHICH IS RIGHT IN HIS SIGHT,
c. AND GIVE EAR TO HIS COMMANDMENTS,
d. AND KEEP HIS STATUTES
I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I AM THE LORD THAT HEALETH THEE." Exodus 15:26.
3. DAVID REJOICED IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS COVENANT.
"Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who HEALETH ALL THY DISEASES." Psalm 103:1-3.
4. ISAIAH PROCLAIMED IT.
"Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing." Isaiah 35:5,6.
5. JESUS MADE HEALING ONE OF THE PLANKS OF HIS PLATFORM.
a. "The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because HE HATH ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR.
b. HE HATH SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKEN-HEARTED,
c. TO PREACH DELIVERANCE TO THE CAPTIVES,
d. AND RECOVERING OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND,
e. TO SET AT LIBERTY THEM THAT ARE BRUISED." Luke 4:13.
6. JESUS MINISTERED HEALING TO THE SICK.
"And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the Kingdom, and HEALING ALL MANNER OF SICKNESS AND ALL MANNER OF DISEASE among the people." Mat. 4:23.
7. HEALING IS THE ATONEMENT OF CHRIST. See Mat. 8:1-17; especially verse 17.
a. Healing of the leper. Mat. 8:1-4.
b. Healing of the Centurion's Servant. Mat 8:5-13.
c. Healing of Peter's wife's mother. Mat. 8:14-15.
d. Healing of the multitude. Mat. 8:16.
e. His REASON GIVEN for these healings, verse 17--That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the Prophet, saying, HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND BARE OUR SICKNESSES."
8. JESUS BESTOWED THE POWER TO HEAL UPON HIS TWELVE DISCIPLES.
"Then He called His twelve disciples together, and GAVE THEM POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER ALL DEVILS and to CURE DISEASES. And he sent them to preach the Kingdom of God, and to HEAL THE SICK...and they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and HEALING EVERYWHERE." Luke 9:1-3,6.
9. HE LIKEWISE BESTOWED POWER UPON THE SEVENTY.
"After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before His place into every city and place whither He Himself would come...HEAL THE SICK that are therein, and say unto them, the Kingdom of God is come nigh unto you." Luke 10:1,9.
10. AFTER JESUS' RESURRECTION HE EXTENDED THE POWER TO ALL WHO BELIEVE.
"He said unto them, go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned. And THESE SIGHS SHALL FOLLOW THEM THAT BELIEVE; in My name they shall CAST OUT DEVILS; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them; they shall LAY HANDS ON THE SICK, AND THEY SHALL RECOVER." Mark 16:15-18.
11. AND LEST HEALING SHOULD BE LOST TO THE CHURCH, HE PERPETUATED IT FOREVER AS ONE OF THE NINE GIFTS OF THE HOLY GHOST.
"To one is given by the spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same spirit; to another faith by the same spirit; to another the GIFTS OF HEALING by the same spirit; to another the WORKING OF MIRACLES; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another interpretation of tongues." I Cor. 12:8-10.
