Quote: John G Lake's Ministry

"Dr. Lake came to Spokane. He found us in sin. He found us in sickness. He found us in poverty of spirit. He found us in despair, but he revealed to us such a Christ as we had never dreamed of knowing this side of heaven. We thought victory was over there, but Dr. Lake revealed to us that victory was here, a present and possible reality. We regarded death almost as a friend, but Dr. Lake came and revealed to us the Christ, all-glorious and all-powerful, that is triumphant, compassionate, and lovely, and our night was turned into day and despair was turned into laughter. A light shone in the darkness and we, who found Christ at last as He really is, only have words as the words of Thomas, who said, "My Lord and My God." John G Lake Biography

Demonstrate the Kingdom

"Most of us would never buy a car without test-driving it. Without a demonstration, it is virtually impossible to experience all of the benefits of the car you intend to buy. Interestingly, statistics show that if a customer test-drives a car, he is much more likely to buy it. Similarly, people tend to respond much better to a demonstration of the power than a detailed "sales pitch" on the features and benefits of Heaven." Kevin Dedmon, The Ultimate Treasure Hunt

“My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.” 1 Cor 2:4

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8
