Worship like never before.
Get lost in the presence of God.
Shaken into correction.
Thus says the Lord, “Do you trust me?”
Prepare your oil to
Be the bride of Christ.
Be ready every day.
Embolden the Word to say.
Shepherd this revival.
Propelled from glory to glory.
Revelation knowledge.
Sitting at the feet of Jesus,
I don’t want to leave.
The place I was drawn to,
I can’t even explain.
Solaris infinity (Latin “of the sun unboundedness”)
Cloud by Day,
I want to stay.
Atmosphere changer, her altar.
Fresh wind before and after.
Everywhere she would go,
Praise is the seed to sow.
Roots deep where she stood.
Filled like oil, was her food.
Heaven is on the move,
Wholly worship You.
I seek You with everything.
You deserve everything.
It is time for the sound to be released.
The oil in the lamp is increased.
Saturated in the overflow.
God is in the help,
We prayed for Hope.
Worshiper of war.
God doesn’t waste power.
Provider. Messages. Close doors.
An identity that is restored inside.
Operate in the oil or else it dries out.
Shield needs oil.
Melt the wax.
This is a can of worms that I found worth sharing.
We were randomly watching an interview on youtube.
“Healing Miracles, Deliverance & Faith | How God Is Moving Online with Traci Coston”
When asked, Traci recommends two books “Christ the Healer” by FF Bosworth and “Healing the Sick” by TL Osborn. At the 40:54 mark of the video. I was taking notes and jotted down the first one, because she was asked to repeat it. So, I found the book on eBay and was considering ordering it. I wanted to know more about it.
About a week passed, and I searched for this book “Christ the Healer” again on eBay. Then, on google. And, finally, on goodreads. On a particular edition “Christ the Healer: Messages on Divine Healing” there was a nice summary:
Fred Francis Bosworth was raised in John Alexander Dowie’s Zion City, Ill., where he became familiar with the ministry of healing which was one of the unique features of Dowie’s teaching. Converted in his teens and healed of major lung problems he was inspired to become an avid follower of Jesus and a preacher of the gospel. Several years after his healing he attended Alexander Dowie’s church in Zion City, Illinois, then came into the Pentecostal experience and shared in the early Pentecostal movement. Approximately 1909 he moved to Texas and in 1910 he started a church in Dallas which was loosely affiliated with the Alliance church. He was one of the founders of the Assemblies of God in 1914 and he was present as a mentor to the healing revivalists in the 1940s and 1950s. This wide experience and involvement with Christ’s healing power made him uniquely gifted to write this book, ‘Christ the Healer.’This classic on healing, first released in 1924, has sold more than 500,000 copies and continues to teach and inspire healing ministries in every generation.’

So then I went to google with “John Alexander Dowie Zion City” and learned it was a cult and Zion City was Dowie’s creation of a utopia. Then I added “FF Bosworth” to the search and found this facebook post by “Spiritual Notes” on public group “Smith Wigglesworth and other generals of God”:
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CXGjRQvL7/
A resident of Zion City named Mrs. Waldron attended a tent crusade under the ministry of Charles F. Parham and received the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of tongues. When she brought the exciting news to Zion City, John Alexander Dowie was determined to keep the “tongues movement” out of his community. However, Bosworth and evangelist John G. Lake, who also lived in Zion City at the time, were hungry for the presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives. When Parham came to Zion City to preach on the baptism in the Holy Spirit a few years later, the Bosworths welcomed him into their home to hold meetings. Shortly after this, Fred Bosworth and Lake received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Together, they made a trip to Azusa Street in California to experience the Holy Spirit’s revival there and to seek answers to their questions from the Reverend William J. Seymour concerning this “new” work of God. After Bosworth received the baptism in the Holy Spirit, he looked back at his early days of nomadic movements from one job to the other and said, “I wish someone at that time had told me about being baptized in the Holy Spirit. I did a great deal of drifting not knowing what the right place was for me.”
The right place for Fred Bosworth became clear to him almost immediately. During the years that he lived in Zion City, he spoke of his fear that God would call him to preach the gospel. After receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit, however, he became afraid that God would not call him to preach. At twenty- nine years of age, his life had been radically changed. He began to search the Scriptures on the Holy Spirit, such as Matthew 3:11, “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire,” and Acts 19:2, “Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.” Jesus had promised that the Holy Spirit would come, and that He would be the One to baptize the disciples in the Spirit.
Bosworth also read some of the writings of A. J. Gordon, who spoke out forcefully on the scriptural proof for the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a second and separate experience from salvation. “It is as sinners that we accept Christ; but it is as sons that we accept the Holy Spirit,” Gordon wrote as he expounded on the baptism of the Holy Spirit. “We must withhold our consent from the inconsistent exegesis which would make the water baptism of the apostolic times rigidly binding but would relegate the Baptism in the Spirit to a bygone dispensation.”11
Bosworth admired the wisdom of using biblical logic and the Word to defend the good news of the full gospel. It would become a hallmark for him in future debates on the healing power of God on the earth in modern days.

Therein were these comments:
Onis Kudyanyemba:
John G Lake 1908 came to Africa, South Africa, and planted the Apostolic Faith Mission movement now A.F.M.International after the Azusa Street visit in California, where he visited Seymour. 1913 A.F.M. was established in Zimbabwe. Many pentecostal ministries were born from A.F.M.
Susan Njeri:
Today some I’ve observed these mushrooming Churches do not emphasize on the Holy Spirit but just casting out demons and other doctrines..And Holy communion. they do not preach repentance and Salvation Which is the very foundation for a believer…Jesus is the same Yesterday Today and Forever…In Acts Peter preached and said this gift is for you, your children and your Children’s Children and All others that the Lord will Call….. In the book of Act 2.38…He told them to repent and be Baptized in the name of JESUS Christ. Here It’s clear.Repentance. then Baptism. Then Being filled with the Holy Spirit. Period..
A few days passed, and I have officially ordered a copy of the book “Christ the Healer” for about $6 on eBay.
We turn our faces to you now
And sing a new song to you Lord.
The worthy one comes, behold,
Jesus opens the scrolls.
Pour your spirit out.
For those with ears to hear.
Fresh wind blows through this place.
Seek to see your face.
The move of God is evident
Through the saints.
Praise your holy name
The glory of God lives inside.
Nowhere to run,
Nowhere to hide.
Fill our hearts with love.
Fill our spirits with joy.
Your presence, Lord.
A pleasing aroma to the Lord.
Harp and trumpet decree,
There’s nowhere else to be.
In the mantle where the anointing trickles down.
Worthy is the lamb who was slain.
Seven seals broke by his hand.
Much incense to offer the flame.
You can have it all.
Beyond mountains,
Beyond imagination,
Beyond the sharp two-edged sword.
Never leave or forsake.
In the paradise of God.
There’s no depth too great.
There’s no breadth too wide.
Cast crowns at the throne.
Let incense arise.
You deserve all glory.
“Thank you for every stripe,” Lisa prayed.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” (Revelation 2:29)
Partakers of the divine
Of the one true vine.

He has granted us.
Being examples to the flock.
You are Light in the dark,
The unfaded crown of glory
Gives grace to the humble.

He sets a table for us. (Ps 23)
He is with us, I can see.

Where does your oil come from?
His supply, those who were ready.
Bridesmaids of the body of Christ.
Check your oil.
Does it come from the One or the other?
Are you ready?
Lord, fill our lamps.
(Matthew 25:1-13 The Parable of the Ten Virgins)
There’s only One.
We sing out.
We cry out.
Thank you for all you’ve done.
Humble is your servant.
We come and repent.
We cry out.
You hear us praising.
Worshiping the most high
Holy, Holy is your name.
In the blink of an eye.
Nothing will be the same.
Deliver me to true salvation.
You are risen above every nation.
The earth is full of death.
But You put endurance in my breath.
Mustard seed, (Mt 17:20)
Yes please.
We are in need,
I lay it at your feet.
Garment of praise,
Oil of gladness.
Oaks of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord. (Is 61:3)
Take a stand.
He is strong.
Leven free lump. (Gal 5:9)
The bread of life. (Jn 6:35)
Where the solid ground is
There you see God’s light.
This is where to stand
Not guilty. The light of the world. (Jn 8:12)
Praise his holy name.
Joy.
Thank you brother.
Thank you sister.
Thank you mother. (Mt 12:50)
Repentance and forgiveness
shall follow me forever. Amen.
