16th May 2013
My name is Aki Niemi and I am
the Assistant Pastor here in the King’s Church. We are a family of four:-
Karin my wife, Stephanie (14) and Kristina (10) - and two cats. We came to
Spain in the summer 2012 after having had a house on the coast for a several
years and making frequent visits here. We feel that now is the time to finally
work out how to live in Spain. The girls
are still settling in, but a big change has been in their school work – for the
better!
All family members – including the cats – are Spirit-filled believers in
Jesus Christ. Our children have experienced a big change in their parents –
especially in me since I made the choice to become a believer and follower of
Jesus Christ, and a willing ambassador of the Kingdom of God.
A few years ago I would not have imagined in my wildest dreams to be in
the position I am in today. It is only a few short years ago I wondered during
an Alpha Course how anybody could say that they would die for Jesus. Today I
understand it.
I have come to consider John G.
Lake Ministries www.jglm.org - which is a 5-fold ministry
equipping believers for victorious Christian living – to be the oldest, most
experienced and most successful healing ministry in existence today.
Around 2010 I was given some tapes to listen to: it was a Divine Healing teaching by Curry Blake, currently the overseer of
John G. Lake Ministries from Dallas Texas. This teaching got my attention; it
was in a language that even I could understand. It filled the holes in my
understanding so to speak; it was straight, to the point teaching of the Word
of God about healing, and how Jesus healed people. Since studying this teaching
whilst attending the Dominion Bible
Institute by John G. Lake Ministries I believe that this ministry is not
only one of the foremost healing ministries in the world, but also that their
message about a “New Man – who we are in
Christ” is revolutionizing the body of Christ all around the world.
Healing is one aspect of the ministry, and we are known because of it,
but I believe that in the next few years we will be better known because of the
“New Man” teaching. I use “we”, as I became a part of the
ministry in 2013 when I was ordained as a minister. I am proud and honored to
be allowed to represent and be an ambassador of the Kingdom of God through John
G. Lake Ministries here in Spain. I take it to my heart to spread the message
here in Spain and help to establish it in the Body of Christ here and also in
other parts of the world.
I feel that the way healing
and the believer’s identity in Christ
has been taught in the past leaves something to be desired; otherwise many
people would have seen more results in the field of healing. It has been
regarded as a special anointing and
something that only select few are able to administer. I believe that this needs to be changed and a
correct understanding of Scripture has to become embroiled in the body of
Christ – Scripture teaches that it is every
Christian’s responsibility to heal the sick and preach the Kingdom. Jesus gave us the power and authority through
the Holy Spirit to be light in the world and bring life and freedom to the
oppressed. It is not because of works but because the Spirit in us is
willing.
