John Lake was a mightily-used man of God whose biography I love to read often. I also greatly admire Smith Wigglesworth, another man whose life is an inspiration to modern-day Charismatics and Pentecostals. I’m often deeply reflective as to where the anointing and tenacity of these men and others have gone in our day.
I recognize that some ministries today are moving in power, but there is much from that era that I believe we lack. I recall an account from John Lake , who while ministering in South Africa, went through an extended period where every person he prayed for and laid hands on was healed – every single person!
It is easy to think that as your local or national church goes, so goes the whole church globally. Many of us see little and thus become discouraged. However, remember that we only ever see a small part of the fabric. Even here in the USA, there are pockets of miracles, faith, healings and deliverances. All over, from Kansas to California (go IHOP and Bethel!), Pennsylvania to Florida.
This is not even to speak of Chinese teens raising the dead in rural China and blind eyes being opened in Mozambique. We must keep in mind that as in Isaiah 9:7,
Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end.
I encourage everyone involved in the ministry of healing to read about the likes of Lake, Wigglesworth, Kathryn Kuhlman, Jack Coe, Aimee Semple-Macpherson, John Wimber, and others used mightily in faith and healing. Their life stories will encourage you, motivate you and mobilize you in moving more effectively and determinedly in the ministry of healing.
