“My tears were wiped away, my heart was strong, I saw the way of healing…I said, “God help me now to preach the Word to all the dying around, and tell them how ‘tis Satan still defiles, and Jesus still delivers, for He is just the same today.”
John Alexander Dowie

John Alexander Dowie

“You do not base your belief
that Jesus is the Saviour from sin
upon the fact that somebody is saved, or says he is saved;
but you base it upon the Word of the living God;
and there you stand.”
John Alexander Dowie
