There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

An address given at a convention in Chicago, Illinois, July 26, 1920. I want to use a familiar text, The grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men. Titus 2:11 There never was a bigger word than the word grace. If we undertake to define and analyze its operations, that beautiful term… Continue reading The Grace of Divine Healing

It is one of the most difficult things in all the world for people who are not familiar with the ministry of healing to comprehend that the Spirit of God is tangible, actual, and living quantity, just as real as electricity, just as real as any other native force, yea, and a great deal more… Continue reading The Tangibility of the Spirit

Our lesson today is the story of Hezekiah’s sickness and healing. The story is told in three different places in the scriptures. In 2 Kings chapter 20, we read one of the accounts.

A contract is… Continue reading The Value of the Covenant with God

Divine healing is not a new thing. It is as old as the book. I have chosen today the first chapter of Genesis with emphasis on the 26th verse.
