🕊️ The Strongman’s Gospel
Eagle’s Way Ministries Internet Mission Statement
A price has been paid.
An unfathomable price that cries out for you and me.
It is the precious blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was crucified for our sins and transgressions—sins that kept us from full fellowship with our Heavenly Father. That blood now rests on the Mercy Seat in Heaven, eternally offered as atonement on the altar of God.
🌐 From Local Study to Global Mission
What began as a simple Wednesday night Bible study has, by the Lord’s guidance, become Eagle Way Ministries—established online in 2004.
Like a large ship gently led by the wind, this ministry has been carried forward by the Holy Spirit. And now, the wind is shifting. A greater wind is picking up. Our sails are filling with a renewed move of God’s Spirit, prompting a fresh direction and a deeper urgency.
🔥 A Divine Assignment: The Strongman’s Gospel
In 2001, after a season of prayer and fasting, the Lord revealed to us the foundational message of this ministry:
“The Strongman’s Gospel.”
This doctrine is modeled on the life and ministry of Jesus, and can be seen reflected—in part—in the life of John G. Lake. Below is an excerpt from a biography on Lake, published by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland. It reflects the bold heart of the gospel we embrace:
📖 Excerpt from
God’s Lightning Rod: John G. Lake
“There was nobody to pray for me… As I sat alone, I said,
‘Lord, I am finished with the world and the flesh,
with the doctor and with the devil.
From today, I lean on the arm of God.’”
Lake was a man shaped by suffering—both his own and that of his family. In his early church experience, miracles and supernatural healing were not even considered options. Ministers often told him that suffering was sent by God. But deep within, he couldn’t accept that. He longed for the God of miracles—and eventually found Him.
When he discovered the truth of healing, he encountered the power of God so radically that it straightened his deformed legs and redefined his theology. He later wrote:
“I discovered that disease was not the will of God at all,
but the will of the dirty, crooked-legged devil
who wanted to make me like himself.”
He left Chicago healed—and with a fire in his soul.
He called it the “Strongman’s Gospel”: a gospel for the bold, the consecrated, the passionate—those who dare to believe for the miraculous every day.
🛡️ What It Means Today
Rising into the Strongman’s Gospel doesn’t happen overnight.
It begins with a yearning for Jesus and grows as we follow Him—step by step—into greater obedience, clarity, and intimacy. This gospel is not just about healing; it’s about living a consecrated life of power, guided by the Holy Spirit, and anchored in the Word of God.
We will never tell you to throw away your medication or walk blindly in borrowed faith. This journey is between you and your Heavenly Father. It’s built on His voice guiding your heart.
That’s why learning to hear Him is so critical.
🌐 Is Internet Ministry Real?
Can God move through digital spaces?
Absolutely.
Let us remind you of another story from John G. Lake’s life:
His sister was dying.
Lake sent a telegram to Dowie in Chicago:
“My sister has apparently died, but my spirit will not let her go.
I believe that if you will pray, God will heal her.”
Dowie replied:
“Hold on to God. I am praying. She will live.”
And she did. Within the hour, she rose.
What was once done by telegram can now be done by Internet—across nations, across time zones, across impossibilities.
Just as the anointing traveled through those words, so it does now.
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.” —Acts 10:38
