In this engaging conversation, Kristen Wambach explores themes of spirituality, healing, and personal empowerment. Set against the backdrop of Mount Tabor, she invites listeners to connect with the divine substance within themselves, drawing on historical figures like John G. Lake to illustrate the power of faith and healing. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of community, personal growth, and the tangible presence of God in everyday life, encouraging listeners to embrace their unique journeys and aspirations.

Christ was a miracle. Every Christian is a miracle. Every answer to prayer is a miracle. Every divine illumination is a miracle. The power of Christianity in the world is a miraculous power. God help us to realize that ours is a High and Holy Calling.” ― John G. Lake, The Collected Works of John G. Lake

Despite facing personal hardships, including the loss of siblings to illness, Lake's faith was strengthened rather than shaken. This period of adversity laid the foundation for his unwavering belief in the healing power of faith.
The Call to Ministry
Lake's life took a transformative turn when he was called to ministry. He was deeply inspired by the teachings of John Alexander Dowie and the Pentecostal movement, which emphasized the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Lake felt a profound calling to serve God and spread the message of divine healing. He was convinced that faith could conquer any physical ailment, a conviction that would define his ministry.

His teachings encouraged believers to embrace their spiritual authority and live victoriously in Christ.

Hello, beautiful souls! Kristen Wambach here, and I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to be coming to you live from the stunning Mount Tabor in Portland for our 200th episode! Yes, you heard that right—200 episodes! So, grab a cozy spot, settle in, and let's soak in this moment together.
Behind me, you’ll see one of the historic water reservoirs—it has this majestic castle-like pump station that makes this place feel even more special. The sun is shining, and you can hear the laughter and joy of folks enjoying this beautiful day. It’s simply wonderful!
Now, let me take you on a little journey back in time. About 20 years ago, I was here in a chapel, leading worship for a conference. It was a last-minute ask for me to step up from the worship team to lead, and let me tell you, it was a divine encounter like no other. An angel named Michael came and played for me while I led worship—it was phenomenal! I’ve shared that story in the show notes, so be sure to check it out.
For the past couple of months, I’ve been asking God where we should celebrate this milestone, and He drew me here, to the top of Mount Tabor. What an honor it is to stand where so many have encountered the love of God before me!
I have my trusty book with me—written by Gloria Copeland, it tells the incredible story of John G. Lake. I’ve highlighted a few passages that have truly resonated with me and I can’t wait to share them with you. For those of you tuning in audibly, welcome! We’ve got a video view too, so you can join me live in this beautiful space.
John G. Lake was a powerhouse of faith in the early 1900s, and he had a vision of an angel that opened the Bible to the book of Acts, emphasizing the outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost. This angel instructed him to strive for this same outpouring, to teach people to pray for it, because it was the answer to the deepest needs of the human heart. Can you just imagine that moment?
I want to share a thought that really struck me. Lake spoke of the Spirit of God as not just an influence but a tangible substance—the very essence of God’s being. It’s powerful to think about the Spirit as something with substance, something that we can truly experience and feel within us.
So, I invite you to open your hearts and spirits today. Let’s allow this heavenly substance to flow through us and change us. I know many of us might feel our faith has been put aside, but I believe that God wants to breathe life into it again.
As we gather here, I feel the presence of the cloud of witnesses surrounding us—angels and the spirits of those who have gone before us, all encouraging us to share and radiate the love of God. Together, let's invite that divine touch into our hearts and lives.
Let’s take a moment to pray together.
Lord, being live in this vibrant atmosphere is such a gift. Help us to open our hearts, our ears, and our spirits to truly feel Your presence today. Amen.
As we continue, I want to share more about what John G. Lake experienced, how he and his congregation would pray over their newsletters, asking God to fill their words with His Spirit and love. That same Spirit is present here with us now, vibrating within our beings and reaching out to you wherever you are.
Thank you for joining me on this beautiful spring day to celebrate our 200th episode together! Let’s embrace this moment and the incredible journey ahead.

Photography of the day: Mount Tabor Portland Oregon

History and Service Reservoirs: The City of Portland built the first two reservoirs on Mount Tabor in 1894, and the last two in 1911. The reservoirs were a vital part of Portland's water system for over a century. 
Construction timeline

• 1880s: The volcanic butte of Mount Tabor was identified as a good location for reservoirs because of its elevation 
• 1894: Two open-air reservoirs were built on Mount Tabor 
• 1911: Two more open-air reservoirs were built 
• 2015: The original reservoirs were disconnected from the drinking water system 

Purpose
The reservoirs stored drinking water for Portland residents. The water came from the Bull Run watershed, which is located on the western slope of the Cascade Mountain Range. 
Current status
The reservoirs are now decommissioned and are on the National Register of Historic Places. They provide a scenic backdrop to the park. 
Other notes
The reservoirs were built during a time of economic depression, and provided employment for 1,500 workers

Substance. Just take a moment to really embrace that beautiful word. Substance is more than just a concept; it’s a tangible presence, something that has mass and energy flowing through it. And guess what? The divine substance, the essence of God, resides within you.
I invite you to pause for a moment. If there's an area of your body that’s calling out for healing, or perhaps there’s a project or a person dear to your heart, grab a photo of them. Place your hand gently on the part of your body that needs attention, or rest your hand softly on that photograph. This connection is powerful; it’s been woven into your fate for ages.
Picture this: angels are dipping into a wellspring of healing energy, ready to pour it over your loved ones. Maybe it’s your spouse, a dear friend, or even a project you’re pouring your heart into. Whether it’s a book you’re writing or financial struggles you’re facing, just place your hand on your pocketbook, and let’s open ourselves up to this incredible flow.
Let’s allow our faith to carry us, letting grace make everything feel effortless as we tap into the substance of God that dwells within us. Feel that energy move through you. If you’re experiencing discomfort in your feet, gently move them. You might notice a warm sensation or a tingling; that’s the healing energy working.
If your back is aching, place your hands there and focus on that word: substance. Remember to draw from the inside out, focusing on the core of your being—your structure, your spine, your hips. Take a deep breath in and let it out slowly.
And for someone out there, God is reaching out to your ears. This could be for physical healing or perhaps to unlock that idea you’ve been searching for. Maybe it’s the clarity you need for your business or a way to navigate around obstacles that have been blocking your path.
Thank you, God, for the movement of your substance through sound, through frequency—it’s real and it’s tangible. We can feel it.
Hello, everyone! I’m thrilled to share that today marks the recording of my 200th podcast episode—such a celebration! It’s called "Interviewing Jesus." Simple, right? Enjoy the beautiful weather as you take a moment to appreciate this day.
It’s been a true honor to share this space with you, to explore and expand together. Before we wrap up, let me turn my camera around so you can see the stunning park around us, particularly this highest reservoir at Mount Tabor. I’ll include links and more photography in the show notes for you to check out.
As we conclude, I want to extend the collective faith of everyone present—our spirits, the angels, and the cloud of witnesses. Together, we’re moving that divine substance. I sense that many of you are feeling it in your digestive systems and your womanly organs. If that resonates, place your hand there and just breathe.
Inhale, exhale, and reflect on that word: substance. It’s already within you, moving and expanding, dissolving what needs to be let go, and restoring what needs healing.
I bless you in this moment. You and I are living consistently in the embrace of divine love.
