Dream.
I dreamt I was at someone’s house and we were in the basement. I think a prayer meeting was about to start. I knew the people that were there and they were similar in the sense that all were going through great trials. Just then a pastor and his wife I knew and hadn’t seen in over ten years came in the door and down the stairs towards me. (Side note: The last time I saw this couple I had given a prophetic word that they didn’t accept. In fact they had publicly denounced me because of it, as it was word of rebuke and Judgment. They were head of several church’s all over and were well known. I had received several dreams concerning them but in the end I saw a great surrender and they were on a different road altogether. In fact they and I became friends again.)
As they descended the stairs I saw something different in them. They seemed to have a real glow and humility. I suddenly felt the presence of God and knew I had a word for them from the Lord and told them so. They smiled and sat down. I then began to quote John 12:24 Verbatim to them. They both began to weep and it was as if the scales fell from their eyes. I could see them think through all the trials and loss they went through over the last ten years and a smile came over their faces. He got up to lay hands on me and pray over me. Immediately I felt the presence of God very strongly and felt some kind of healing in me. I knew that the great surrender they went through installed a new level of apostolic authority and they were ready to go forth.
When I awoke I realized it was just a dream. It was so vivid I thought it was really happening.
John 12
24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.

The Testimony of John G. Lake During the Bubonic Plague

The Testimony of John G. Lake During the Bubonic Plague
Now watch the action of the law of life. Faith belongs to the law of life. Faith is the very opposite of fear. Faith has the opposite effect in spirit, and soul, and body. Faith causes the spirit of man to become confident. It causes the mind of man to become restful, and positive. A positive mind repels disease. Consequently, the emanation of the Spirit destroys disease germs.
And because we were in contact with the Spirit of life, I and a little Dutch fellow with me went out and buried many of the people who had died from the bubonic plague. We went into the homes and carried them out, dug the graves and put them in. Sometimes we would put three or four in one grave.
We never took the disease. Why? Because of the knowledge that the law of life in Christ Jesus protects us. That law was working. Because of the fact that a man by that action of his will, puts himself purposely in contact with God, faith takes possession of his heart, and the condition of his nature is changed. Instead of being fearful, he is full of faith. Instead of being absorbent and drawing everything to himself, his spirit repels sickness and disease. The Spirit of Christ Jesus flows through the whole being, and emanates through the hands, the heart, and from every pore of the body.
During that great plague that I mentioned, they sent a government ship with supplies and corps of doctors. One of the doctors sent for me, and said, “What have you been using to protect yourself? Out corps has this preventative and that, which we use as protection, but we concluded that if a man could stay on the ground as you have and keep ministering to the sick and burying the dead, you must have a secret. What is it?”
I answered, “Brother, that is the ‘law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.’ I believe that just as long as I keep my soul in contact with the living God so that His Spirit is flowing into my soul and body, that no germ will ever attach itself to me, for the Spirit of God will kill it.” He asked, “Don’t you think that you had better use our preventatives?” I replied, “No, but doctor, I think that you would like to experiment with me. If you will go over to one of these dead people and take the foam that comes out of their lungs after death, then put it under the microscope, you will see masses of living germs. You will find they are alive until a reasonable time after a man is dead. You can fill my hand with them and I will keep it under the microscope, and instead of these germs remaining alive, they will die instantly.” They tried it and found it was true. They questioned, “What is that?” I replied, “That is ‘the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.’ When a man’s spirit and a man’s body are filled with the blessed presence of God, it oozes out of the pores of your flesh and kills the germs.”
Suppose, on the other hand, my soul had been under the law of death, and I were in fear and darkness? The very opposite would have been the result. The result would have been that my body would have absorbed the germs, these would have generated disease and I would have died.
You who are sick, put yourself in contact with God’s law of life. Read His Word with the view of enlightening your heart so that you will be able to look up with more confidence and believe Him. Pray that the Spirit of God will come into your soul, take possession of your body, and its power will make you well. That is the exercise of the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.
