Healing Basics

God is Not Making You Sick
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
• James 1:17

God Wants You To Be Well
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
• 3 John 2

There Is Something You Can Do About It
22So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.  23For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have
whatever he says.  24Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”
• Mark 11:22 – 25

The Beginning

John G. Lake was born in Canada in 1870, In his personal account, ‘Adventures in God,’ Lake wrote; “As I think back over my boyhood and young manhood, there comes to mind remembrances like a nightmare: sickness, doctors, nurses, hospitals, hearses, funerals, graveyards and tombstones; a sorrowing household: a brokenhearted mother and grief-stricken father, struggling to forget the sorrows of the past, in order to assist to the living members of the family who needed their love and care.”

In 1908, God sent him to Africa, where he helped to establish over 100 churches. Upon his return to America, Lake came to Spokane, Washington. He rented a suite in the Rookery Building to pray for the sick. It was known as the Healing Rooms. Lake and his assistants, who were known as “healing technicians,” prayed for the sick. Over a five year period, there were over 100,000 documented healings. The U.S. government declared Spokane the healthiest city in the world.

John Lake was a man of purpose, vision, strength and character. His one goal in life was to bring the fullness of God to every person. He often said that the secret of heaven’s power was not in the doing, but in the being. He believed that Spirit-filled Christians should enjoy the same type of ministry Jesus did while living on earth.

Lake’s healing and preaching ministry spanned the years from 1898 until his death in 1935.

The Healing Rooms were reopened in 1999 by Cal Pierce. As of December 2006 there are 500 Healing Rooms in 32 Nations.
