If you are having the right kind of spiritual fellowship, you will have power with God, and there is no escaping it.

John G. Lake

Der kanadisch-US-amerikanische Evangelist John G. Lake (1870–1935) war eine prägende Gestalt der frühen weltweiten Pfingstbewegung und wirkte vor allem in Südafrika sowie im Nordwesten der USA. Er begründete sogenannte „Healing Rooms“ und vertrat die Lehre, dass jedem Gläubigen durch den Heiligen Geist übernatürliche Heilung und Gesundheit zustehe. Während seine Texte bis heute Teile der charismatischen Bewegung inspirieren, verweisen historische Forschungen auf erhebliche Übertreibungen in seinen Berichten sowie auf juristische Verfahren wegen Finanzdelikten.

There is no perfect church. And besides, dear friend, if you ever found a perfect church, it would refuse to take you in. For as soon as it had taken you in, it would cease to be perfect. So your search is entirely useless.

In a congregation, every person must be able to be as their heart truly is.
