JOHN G. LAKE AND THE HEALING ROOMS

If there was ever a man who walked in the revelation of "God in man," it was John G. Lake. A man of purpose, vision, strength and character, his one goal in life was to bring the fullness of God to every person. He often said that the secret of heaven's power was not in the doing, but in the being. He believed that Spirit-filled Christians should enjoy the same type of ministry Jesus did while living on earth, and that this reality could only be accomplished by seeing themselves as God saw them.

John Lake’s ministry philosophy was to continue to pray for a sick person, as many times as it took, until the manifestation of healing occurred in their body. To facilitate this he rented several rooms in an office building in the downtown area of Spokane where people could come and receive prayer for healing. He encouraged people to come back as often as they needed to receive an impartation of the healing word.

He called these rooms the Healing Rooms and trained men and women to pray the prayer of faith over those that came for ministry and healing. These men and women that John Lake trained he called healing technicians and they moved powerfully in the anointing of healing. The healing rooms were a place of faith and teaching that brought the sick to an understanding of the provision of the atonement. Each person coming for prayer was ministered to individually and given the Word of God for understanding to build faith and then hands were laid on them based on that faith for the impartation of healing in their body.

The healing rooms operated in Spokane Washington from 1915 to 1920 and during that 5 year period over 100,000 documented healings were recorded. The healing rooms were so successful that Spokane was referred to as the healthiest city in America.

John Lake believed in the authority of the believer in Christ and in the power of the name of Jesus. He believed that any person could believe and receive healing in their body and deliverance from the oppression of the devil.

THE HEALING ROOMS OF JOHN G. LAKE RE-OPENED IN SPOKANE, WASHINGTON AFTER BEING CLOSED FOR OVER 70 YEARS!
Cal Pierce and his wife Michelle grew up in Redding, California where they were members of Bethel Assembly of God Church. Cal served at Bethel as an elder and board member. He says he was "the most bored board member the church had." For 25 years he was stuck in a form of Christianity that denied God's power. In June, 1996 during a service where God moved powerfully, Cal was changed by the power of God. Cal's life has been changed ever since.

Cal, a Real Estate Developer, felt God draw he and his wife, Michelle, north to Washington State in November 1997. "We sold everything, packed up our furniture and moved to Spokane having never been there before. We were not sure exactly what God wanted us to do, so we continued to seek his direction for ministry."

Having studied the revivals, Cal had read about John G. Lake's ministry in Spokane. Cal visited Lake's grave site once each month for over one year to pray.

"On February 28, 1999 I started a 40 day fast. I went to Lake's grave site to pray when I heard God say, 'There is a time to pray, and a time to move.' There was no doubt that God wanted us to re-dig the generational wells of healing in Spokane." Cal called in intercessors and began training up healing teams. On July 22, 1999 the Spokane Healing Rooms of John G. Lake were re-opened in the same location they were 80 years ago.

HEALING EXPLOSION IN ATLANTA & STATE OF GEORGIA!!!
A few months after re-opening the Spokane Healing Rooms, Cal Pierce visited Minneapolis, MN to cast a vision for Healing Rooms to be established around the world. The Lord spoke to Angela that she would be used to start Healing Rooms and that through this many people would come into the kingdom.
Angela helped her mentor, Elaine Bonn start the Healing Rooms in Minneapolis and worked there until the Lord moved her and her family to Georgia in 2002 with a vision to start Healing Rooms in Georgia. In October, 2003 the Healing Rooms of Greater Atlanta was birthed in Loganville, Georgia. A year later the Healing Rooms re-located inside the perimeter of Atlanta to touch a larger number of people with God's Healing Presence. In 2005, Angela became the Georgia State Director for the International Association of Healing Rooms and now she helps others start Healing Rooms.
