———————————————————

“In the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, I take authority over these illnesses, diseases, viruses, disorders, and weaknesses. I command every cell, every organ, and every system of this body to come into alignment with the Word of God. Sickness, I curse you at the root. Leave this body now. Spirit of infirmity, I reject you and resist you. I command you to leave this body now. Body, receive the life of God! Let the resurrection power of Jesus flow into every part. By His stripes, this body is healed. Amen.”

RE: Testing of our faith; waiting on God

James 1.3-8 + Psalm 78:37 & notes there. See also: https://youtu.be/UYmxaQD0jrc?si=tUuPAgPxbv04yK-2

See Ps 78.40-41, 18: How often when we are tested do we find in our hearts rebellious ways and attitudes that grieve God. So it may be that as we are tested, we test God in return.

🔹 What John G. Lake Taught in the Healing Homes:

Healing is in the Atonement

Lake strongly taught that physical healing was included in Christ’s atoning work, citing verses like Isaiah 53:4–5 and Matthew 8:17. Therefore, healing was the believer’s right.

Divine Healing is Spiritual, Not Medical

He did not rely on medicine or doctors. Healing was to come directly through the power of God and the exercise of faith.

Faith Must Be Active

Healing, he taught, required the sick person to engage their faith—through prayer, Scripture, confession, and trust in God's Word.

The Spirit of Life Overcomes Disease

Lake believed that the life of God, indwelling the believer, literally repelled sickness. He often referenced Romans 8:2 ("the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus").

Holiness and Healing Go Together

A key teaching was that sin and sickness were related—sometimes directly, sometimes spiritually. Therefore, repentance and personal holiness were integral to healing.

Sample Daily Structure at a John G. Lake Healing Home

Patients and workers begin the day with quiet time: Bible reading, prayer, and meditation on healing Scriptures (e.g., Psalm 103, Isaiah 53, James 5).

8:00 AM – Communal Prayer & Confession

Everyone gathers to declare God’s promises over their bodies:

“I am redeemed from the curse of the law. By His stripes I am healed. The law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.”

9:00 AM – Teaching Session

A Healing Technician or Lake himself teaches on divine healing, faith, or walking in the Spirit.

Example theme: “Healing Belongs to You” based on Isaiah 53 and Matthew 8.

10:00 AM – One-on-One Ministry

Healing Technicians lay hands on assigned patients, pray in faith, and speak life and healing into their bodies.

They rebuke sickness directly (similar to Jesus rebuking fever in Luke 4:39).
