This information is taken from a time stained book that I found lying around my parent's house.
Truly God wished for me to find it. Not quite sure what it's all about, but I've read 50+ pages into it tonight, and it seems to be a collection of testimonies from a man named John G. Lake.

Here is the Foreword and a few testimonies from the book. They are powerful, yet these beginning few are pretty weak compared with the rest of the book.

"Foreword

John Graham Lake was a man of prayer and commitment.
To better understand the quality of his life, you willl want to read his consecration to God at the close of this book.
At the Lake Healing Rooms in Spokane, Washington, 100,000 healings were recorded in five years. Dr. Ruthlidge of Washington, D.C., called Spokane the healthiest city in the world as a result of Lake's Healing Rooms.
John G. Lake was born March 18, 1870, at St. Mary's, Ontario, Canada. While he was still a child , his parents moved to the United States.At the age of 21, he became a Methodist minister, but later chose to start a newspaper instead of accepting a church ministry.
After his marriage, Lake's wife entered into a prolonged illness, but was miraculously delivered under the ministry of John Alexander Dowie in April, 1898. This experience forever altered the direction of John G. Lake's life and ministry.
All that he accomplished as a result of his intense regard for the Word of God stands as an example to all Christians of what is possible for any person who will believe and act on the Scriptures.

Adventures In God

I found God as a boy, so for years- 50 of them almost- I have been walking in the light of God, understanding fellowship with Him and listening to His Voice.

I want to call to your attention some of the things Christians enjoys that others miss.

---------------------------

A dear man received an injury that caused his death in a motor accident not far from Beaverton. The day after this man was killed, I was visiting some friends in Beaverton an they told me of his injury. After our visit, my wife and I were driving into the city. As we were coming up one of the highways, a Voice said, 'Pull onto the left of the road and stop.'
Don't you know that Voice, Christian heart? That Voice is so common that I never even spoke of it to my wife.

The left side is the wrong side of the road, and you are breaking the traffic law to be there. But I have listened to that Voice so many years that I have learned in most cases to obey it. Jesus said, 'My sheep know my voice.' (John 10:27)

(The thought I am trying to bring to you, dear friends, is the value of konwoing the Lord and what communion with God means. Salvation is not just something God gives you that is going to bless you after you die; it is having the presence of the Lord now. God has promised to the Christian the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit.)

I pulled onto the left-hand side of the road, ran the wheel of my car close into the ditch, and stopped. Immediately, I heard the grinding of a great truck coming around the curve. I had not seen it before. Instead of coming normally, it was coming down the driver's left-hand side of the road at a 45-degree angle. The truck had gone out of control and was covering the whole road!

If I had been on my side of the road, it would have sideswiped me and pushed me over the bank. A 100-foot drop down! But I was on the other side when the great thing swept past me.

The truck went 50 to 100 feet beyond me, struck a rough spot in the road, and righted itself. The driver got the truck under control and went on.

Dear friends, men in the Word of God were guided by the Voice of God. God talked to them. This is the inner thing of real Christian experience, the reason men seek by the grace of God to enter into the real heard of God -- into the real soul of Jesus Christ -- into the place where He lives within you -- where His Voice speaks in you heart.

--------------------------------------------

I was sitting one day in the home of the DeValeras in Krugersdorp, South Africa, When a man arrived who had traveled all over the country. He had been following me from place to place, trying to catch up with me. he suffered a sunstroke which had affected his mind and he also had developed a large cancer.

He came into the house and proved to be a friend of the family.

In a little while a six-year-old child who had been sitting near me went across the room, climbed on the man's knees, put her hands on the caner on his face, and prayed.

I saw the cancer wither. In half an hour, the thing had disappeared. The wound was still there, but in a few days it was healed.

After the child had laid her hands on top of his head, he arose, saying, 'Oh! The fire that has been in my brain has gone out,' and his mind was normal.

Power belongeth unto God (Ps. 62:11). The simplest soul can touch God and live in the very presence of God and in His power."

There are quite a few testimonies that he records in this book. In the preface it states that there is no chronology to the book, but that these merely are his personal records.

I implore believers to get this book. Reading testimony after testimony is incredible. Even one incident of doctors monitoring his brain cells and those of someone being healed. All the ways that God has used this man are so incredible.
