Biblical Facts on Divine Healing

[Michael The Disciple]

Larry,

I am also interested in your connection with John G. Lake. I read his story early on as a believer. I did not attend any Church at that time. I had neither a Trin or Oneness view at the time.

From the witness of Pentecostal history it would seem no other minister in modern times had such a ministry in the power of God with the exception of William Branham. I was indeed thrilled hearing the testimonies.

As the years unfolded I was associated with Churches that taught divine healing. The Ceylon Pentecostal Mission taught it as a tenet of faith. They had testimonies of startling healings by Gods power. They also taught it was sin to go to doctors or take meds.

I met up with Faith Assembly led by Hobart Freeman later and was attracted to it because they baptized in Jesus name. They held the same doctrine of divine healing.

I have experienced healing from heart attack, stroke, and various afflictions. I am blessed so richly though the power of God. I cannot say I have lived up to the message of faith to the degree Lake, CPM, and Faith Assembly.

I have seen God do great miracles some of healing, some in answered prayer, some in leading of the spirit, mostly prophetic gifts.

I really think the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement is suffering greatly by accepting Evangelical teachings. It seems there is getting much less hunger and thirst for Jesus and for righteousness than there was early on in my walk.

We are "kept by the power of God through faith".

Without the power of God we will never make it. Its so sad to see the miraculous signs and wonders from Jesus being downplayed today. I know why tho. Years of false prophets and false claims have sapped the faith out of many. Instead of pressing beyond the failures and sins of men most have become bitter, discouraged and mere spectators in the things of the Kingdom.

Having said all that how is it that it seems you are a Oneness Pentecostal believer but it seems you are part of the John G. Lake Church? Have they switched to Oneness doctrine?
