You should never ask God to do what He has said He’s already done, and you should never ask God to do what He has told you to do. The purpose of a Spirit filled life is to demonstrate the supernatural power of our living God so that the unsaved multitudes will abandon their dead gods to call upon the name of The Lord and be delivered. Ministry is pretty simple. Love people and help them. Both sin and sickness came into the world through the fall of the human race. Therefore, we must look for the healing of both in the Savior of the human race. God is as willing to heal believers as He is to forgive unbelievers. Know this; if He was merciful enough to forgive you when you were unconverted, He is merciful enough to heal you now that you are in His family! How can we call ourselves a church and not believe in healing and in miracles? I cannot read four pages anywhere in the Bible without encountering miracles! And the God of the bible is the same today! The gospel of the kingdom must be preached with evidence; it must be preached as a witness. Speaking in tongues is not enough. If we turn men from unchristian religions to Christianity we must produce miracles which convince men that Christ lives and He is real today. Only the power of the living Christ proclaimed in demonstration of the Holy Spirit, can meet the urgent needs of humanity. Christians need never be sick, any more than they need to be sinful. It is always God's desire to heal you. The church doesn't need more power. The church needs more gospel.

My main ambition in life is to be on the devil's most wanted list. If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers teach today, He would never have been crucified. Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?

The gospel of Jesus Christ is as simple as can be. As God lived in the body and operated through the man Jesus, so the man on the throne, Jesus, operates through His body, the church, in the world. Even as Jesus Himself was the representative of God the Father, so also the church is the representative of Christ. As Jesus yielded Himself unto all righteousness, so the church should yield herself to do the will of Christ. By the God within we cast out or expel from the being that which is not Godlike. If you find within your heart a thought of sin or selfishness, by the exercise of the spirit of God within you, you cast that thing out as unworthy of a child of God, and you put it away from you. It is not only in the Christian's spirit that he needs to be rid of sin, nor only in his soul he is to be pure. It is God in the body that the individual needs for a well body. It is just God that he needs. Now the Spirit of God radiates from the Christian's person because of the indwelling Holy Ghost, and makes him impregnable to any touch or contact of evil forces. He is the subjective force Himself, the Spirit of God radiates from him as long as his faith in God is active. The reason people become sick is the same reason they become sinful. They surrender to the suggestion of the thing that is evil, and it takes possession of the heart. Sickness is just the same. There is no difference. The suggestion of oppression is presented, and becoming frightened, the disease secures a foothold. The believer says, "In the name of Jesus Christ I refuse to have this thing."

My God and Father, in Jesus Name I come to thee. Take me as I am. Make me what I ought to be, in spirit, in soul, in body. Give me power to do right, if I have wronged any, to repent, to confess, to restore, no matter what it costs. Wash me in the blood of Jesus, that I may now become thy child, and manifest thee, in a perfect spirit, a holy mind, a sickless body. Amen. - Prayer of Consecration by John G. Lake
