While serving at the Newtown Congregational Church about 1876 a young girl lay groaning and grinding her teeth with white froth and blood passing from her mouth.
"Sir, are not God’s way mysterious?’ The doctor present said.
"How dare you, Dr. , call that God’s way ...? No, sir, that is the devil’s work, said Dowie., "and it is time we called on him who came to “destroy the work of the devil,” to slay that deadly and foul destroyer, and to save the child. Can you pray, Doctor, can you pray the prayer of faith to save the sick?"
"You are too much excited, sir,' he doctor replied, ‘tis best to say “God’s will be done."

Dowie prayed for the girl and she fell into a deep sleep. "Is she dead?" her mother asked.
"No, replied Dowie. "Mary will live, the fever is gone. She is perfectly well and sleeping as an infant sleeps."

Later she awoke completely recovered. Her brother and sister had the same fever and were healed as well.

"And this is the story of how I came to preach the Gospel of healing through Faith in Jesus."
From Leaves of Healing, February 15, 1895.

He organized the International Divine Healing Association with branches in Australia and New Zealand in 1886. He ministered healing to many despite encountering much opposition. In 1888 he moved to San Francisco with his wife and 2 children believing that God wanted him to carry the “leaves of healing from the Tree of Life to every nation.”
After teaching and ministering God's healing in Omaha City Nebraska, Salt Lake City Utah and Minneapolis Minnesota he arrived in Chicago in 1890 to speak at a divine healing convention. It was during the Chicago world's fair of 1893 that he opened "Tabernacle Number One" which he later called "The Little Wooden Hut". Buffalo Bill Cody's niece was healed during there as well as Anne, President Abraham Lincoln's niece.

"By 1901, he had become such a dynamic influence upon the Christian people of America that he had baptized over 10,000 converts in four years and had over 40,000 subscribers to his Leaves of Healing magazine which was published in English, Dutch and German.".

When Dowie was criticized in Australia he continued to promote God's healing and deliverance and many were healed. When he was criticized in Chicago he moved and ignored the criticism. It was during that fair that one of the earliest serial killers in North America was murdering young women less than 1 mile from the same location at the same time.

Who received criticism? Later when Mr. Dowie was deceived and scandalized by the editor of the CHRISTIAN WORLD he became obsessed with bringing justice to bear on this man. He even went so far as to rent 25 train cars to carry 1500 believers to meetings at Madison Square Garden which he rented for the occasion in 1907.This time when criticism arose he changed his tactic and chose to listen to and deal with the critics.

Not many were healed then as a result.
Will you respond to criticism or allow the judge of all the earth to deal justly at the right time?
What will critics of God's people have to say to the Lord of Lords when they stand before him on that day?
Criticism of God's elect?
When the end of this earthly residence arrives what will you have to say?
Until Then
