BECAUSE I GO

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the

works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these

shall he do; because I go unto my Father. — JOHN14:12

Dr. John Alexander Dowie (1847-1907) was used by God to

reintroduce divine healing to the modern Church.

Dr. P. C. Nelson,founder of Southwestern Assemblies of God

College, said, “You can’t follow Dowie’s doctrine, but you can

follow his faith.”

I heard Dr. Nelson tell about how when he himself was a

young Baptist minister, he saw Dowie minister to a woman with

a purplish-blue cancerous growth that covered most of her face.

Nelson said, “I saw Dowie, in the presence of us six

denominational ministers and three medical doctors, just reach

out and take hold of that cancer, saying, ‘In the Name of the

Lord Jesus Christ!’ — and then strip it off that woman’s face.

The doctors present examined her immediately, and said the

skin on her face was like the skin of a newborn baby.”

The reason Jesus gave, was so those who believe on Him

would be able to do the works He did, “because He did go unto

His Father.” It’s because of Jesus’ seating at the right hand of

the Father on High in the place of authority that believers can

do these same works.

Confession:

I believe on Jesus. Because Jesus went to His Father and

mine, and is seated at the right hand of Majesty on High — and I am seated with him—I can do the works of my father in Jesus’

name.
