From the year 400 until now the Church has assumed the attitude that the days of miracles are passed contrary to GOD'S HOLY SCRIPTURES.
Jesus said, 'Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils; freely ye have received, freely give.' (Matt 10:8)

... I am afraid that modern Christianity stands indicted at the bar of God for cowardliness because of fear to undertake the program of Jesus.

Friends, that is why we urge upon men the necessity of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. it is the only thing that brings the heavenly equipment to the hearts of men, that makes them equal to this program and the possibility of carrying it out... 
Following are a few excerpts from some of John G. Lake's radio sermons.

From the year 400 until now the Church has assumed the attitude that the days of miracles are passed without any scriptural evidence whatever. They have taught that miracles were to demonstrate the divinity of Jesus, and therefore the divinity of Jesus being demonstrated there was no longer any need for miracles.

...It is a delight to believe the Words of Jesus. I have used this rule in my study of the Scriptures. If there is any question on any scripture I settle it with the Words of Jesus. I consider all the scriptures are a common court of the Gospel, but the Words of Jesus are the supreme court of the Gospel. When I want a supreme court decision, I appeal to the Words of Jesus.

You can read all the Words of Jesus in two hours or less in a Red Letter New Testament. Make a practive of seeking the Words of Jesus on any subject that troubles you...

He ought to be sufficent authority on any question, for the heavenly Father called attention to the fact that He is the Son of God, and that we are to hear Him. He said:

'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.' (Matt. 17:5)

Quote:
Jesus Christ came on the scene as a challenger... He had a mission. He stepped among the religions of the earth as the challenger.

Jesus said there was real sin, that there was real sickness, that there was real death. He wasnot dodging the issue. He met it foursquare, and He said, I am bigger than it all...

He said after coming forth from the grave, 'All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.' (Matt 28:18-19)

Sin and sickness and death, the triumvirate of darkness... the manifestation of the kingdom of darkness...

'Through sin death entered ino the world.' (see Romans 5:12)

Death is not a servant of God, nor a child of God, nor a product of God. Sin is the ENEMY of God... 'The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.' (I Cor 15:26). Not the last servant or friend, but the last enemy. Death is doomed to destruction by the Lord Jesus Christ...
