Kathryn Kuhlman

Kathryn Kuhlman (1907–1976). Born on May 9, 1907, in Concordia, Missouri, to Joseph and Emma Kuhlman, Kathryn Kuhlman was an American evangelist renowned for her healing crusades and charismatic ministry. Raised in a German-American family, she left school at 14 to join her sister Myrtle’s traveling revival ministry in 1921, preaching across Idaho and beyond. By 1928, she led her own tent revivals, gaining prominence in Denver with a 1933 radio program, despite a brief, controversial marriage to Burroughs Waltrip (1938–1948), a divorced evangelist, which ended her early ministry partnerships. Settling in Pittsburgh in 1946, she launched the Kathryn Kuhlman Foundation and held weekly services at Carnegie Hall, broadcasting on CBS radio as The Radio Chapel. From the 1950s, her healing services at First Presbyterian Church and later nationwide crusades drew thousands, with reported miracles, though she emphasized salvation over physical healing. She authored books like I Believe in Miracles (1962), God Can Do It Again (1969), and Nothing Is Impossible with God (1974). Moving to Los Angeles in 1965, she hosted I Believe in Miracles on TV, mentoring figures like Benny Hinn. Unmarried after her divorce, she died on February 20, 1976, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, following heart surgery. Kuhlman said, “The greatest power that God has given to any individual is the power of choice.”

Sermon Transcription
But, one day, I just looked up and said, wonderful Jesus, I have nothing. I have nothing to give you but my love. That's all that I can give you. And I love you with all my heart. And I give you my 40 as a living sacrifice. If you could take nothing and use it, then here's nothing for you. It isn't silver vessels that he's asking for. It isn't golden vessels that he needs. He just needs you, this vessel. That's all. You ask, have you ever seen God the Father? No, not really. Not really. But God the Father, is as real to me as my earthly heart. And I know that he loves me. And I can come before his throne and say, Father, my heavenly Father, you say to me, have you ever seen him? Oh, my. There have been experiences. When I felt I would turn very quickly, I would touch his person. He's so real to me, that I'll tell you something that you may not understand. I have no picture of Jesus in my room. And I'll tell you why. No office brush has ever done justice to the faith of the one whom I love and adore. To put his faith on test. The greatest artist in the world could never face the face of my Lord. More real to me than any human being I've ever known. Say to me, have you ever seen the Holy Spirit? You talk of your absolute dependence upon him. His glorious anointing, and his wonderful power. Have you ever seen the Holy Spirit? We ask to the sun, have you ever seen the wind? Our astronauts have been to the moon. They have walked on the moon. If we were to ask any one of them, tell us. You've seen great things, but have you ever seen the wind? And they would shake their heads. For no man, no woman has ever seen the wind. And yet, you feel the gentle breeze. Can you feel the mighty force? And you can say that if the wind had done that, so. But you've seen the result of the force of the wind. No man, no woman, has ever seen the wind. I have not seen the Holy Spirit. Oh, the things I have carried with me, I have carried with my soul. And yet, clothes, slums, buildings, and it's something so natural, so strange, I couldn't go on without it, and it's something so powerful, tangible, yet, incomprehensible. And the most weird person in the world, gentle as the dove, easily breathes, oh, so easily breathes, and I follow him, and I don't get to the thousands up there, and I don't see your faces, I follow the Holy Spirit, I follow the person close to me, I follow him, and follow him, just follow him, and it all seems to come as one, and I follow him, yes, but I can only do it, so easily breathe, sense the dear, and I found out a long time ago, I cannot use the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is used for this. And then, I have seen the results, of the force, and the power of the Holy Ghost, the greatest force in the world today, is the Holy Spirit, the greatest power in the universe today, is the power of the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost, the Holy Ghost, the greatest power in the universe today, so move the cancers of burnout, the bodies are loose, people get out of their wheelchairs, and no person has ever been there, who has come under the influence, of the Holy Spirit, he has bowed a moment, while I was speaking to someone, who had a beautiful fever, a heart condition, I did not dare, you would not want me to have stopped, but somebody with a fever, with a heart condition, you're way up in the balcony, you're not even here on the main floor, you go back to your doctor, and you'll find out, you receive that complete healing, for a heart condition, you may not understand it, some of you folks may not understand, that which you see and experience today, don't try to understand, that you can't analyze, the power of God, the supernatural power, of the Holy Ghost, know that, sitting very near that saint, what's up in the balcony, someone with severe diabetes, while I was speaking, the power of the Holy Spirit, went through your body, you've been completely healed, of the sugar diabetes, completely, every trace of the sugar, has left that spot in you, to understand it, I would not try to explain it to you, because I don't know, I only know, the great power of this person, the great force of the Holy Spirit, I've worked with him, in that same group, there's a group of five or six of them, there's somebody, that has their co-sangers, in that same group, and you'll find it, that your leg, the skin, is as smooth as it can be, if you'll reach down, you'll find that, all the vertebrae, have left that leg of yours, I do not know, whether that group of five or six, are acquainted or not, I only know, that the power of the Holy Spirit, is up there, there's another up there, I worship your wonderful Jesus, there's somebody, in that same group, that gets these migraine headaches, you'll find out, the power of God, through that body of yours, you'll never again, have another migraine, it's a group, right up there in the balcony, the power of the Holy Ghost, is going through that body, I give you praise, I worship your wonderful Jesus, I give you praise, I give you glory, there's somebody behind me, who's had a heart condition, you'll find out, that every single condition, has left that body of yours, the very minute, that you find out, that you've been healed, come and give testimony to it, in honor to the Lord, whatever you do, the minute that you find out, that you've been healed, the very second, come and give praise unto the Lord, and thank him for it, there's somebody behind me, with a heart condition, where are you, just now, just put up that hand, there's somebody behind me, with a heart condition, where is it, come here, you will see, the power of the Holy Ghost, is going through this body, I give you praise, the power of the Holy Ghost is going through this body, there's plenty of Holy Ghost.

Another ear out there in the audience. Hold your ear tightly closed. Oh, stand up if you can. I don't think you can. Oh, that's the new wine of the spirit. Just out here, not very far from here, some of our relatives were accused of being drunk, but it was only the ninth hour. How many know what I'm talking about? Put them in. This is the new wine. The new wine, the wine of the spirit. She's caffeinated. That's all right, honey. Chew with her nose. You weren't expecting all this, were you? A group of South Africans. Here is one from South Africa. Which ear, Robert? Which ear? Both ears have deafness. You're blind? The whole time that I was speaking, she only heard three sentences of what I said. She's been so deaf in both ears. She's been so deaf. I understand that she is related to Dr. Where are you? Where is Dr. Come here. Come here. Are you hearing me perfectly as I speak? Do you hear me perfectly now? Do you hear me now? Do you hear me perfectly? I don't know from a distance. Come here. Walk at a distance over there. Walk over there just a little. Do you still hear me? Come here. Dr. is he related to you? Tell the people. Who is she? She is my fifth brother in the nine brothers. The middle one, she's his wife. She's been deaf how long? I don't know how long, but for a long time, she has suffered from her ears. And nothing could help, nothing, operations or nothing has improved it. This is God's doing. Come on. Come on. We give you praise, dear Jesus. We give you praise. We give you honor. We give you glory. That's power. That's power. This is that gift that Jesus gave to his church. I give you praise. I give you glory. Wonderful Jesus, what's happening? I know. Honey, let's sit down somewhere. She'll never make it down there. She's going to school, the new wife. Let's sit down somewhere. What is this? Polio. This lady's had polio for three years and seven months and she's never been able to walk without these crutches. For three and a half years, she has not been able to walk, has not been able to take a step without these crutches. Where's she from? Who knows where you're from, honey? Where you from? Switzerland. Switzerland just went out of the power. You're crazy. Wonderful Jesus. Well, that's trouble. They're taking the soles of her feet, bringing it in, honey, bringing it into the hollow muscles of this body. Well, that's an awful recommendation. Something else has to come in today. I don't know where it is. But something else has come in over here. Three years because of an orthopedic problem. Tell the people. Exactly. Tell the people. This young lady has had an orthopedic problem for the last three years and she's not been able to move her leg without pain in her hip. And she had a limited range of motion. Now it's completely loose and there's no pain and it just happened since the service began. Quickly. Shut up. Just shut up. For how long? Are you from Germany? Did you expect this to happen when you came from Germany? Huh? You didn't know what? Do I talk too fast for you, right? Yes. I can't understand her and she can't understand me very well, but the Holy Spirit speaks a universal language. That was so wonderful. You're so wonderful. Yes. You can't explain it. This is all new to me. Who is with you? Is it a member of your family? Did you come alone? No. With a group? Yes. Oh, oh, oh. All went through this spot. Yes. We found the beginning of things. We found the beginning of the world. That's how, that's what happened in the early church. In this place of worship today, that did not happen in the early church. This is what those servants were like in the early church. Oh, they didn't come from Germany and Switzerland and Africa. They come now from around the world. Are you happy? And this will soon be happening around the world. Finland, in Norway, in Germany, in England. It's going to be happening around the world. How many are ready for it? Put up both hands. Let the power and the glory of the Lord fall, I pray for Jesus' sake. What is over here? What is it? Gentlemen, this gentleman here practically said he was a child. You people may not know it, but the man that's standing here, right here, is one of the finest doctors. He is on the staff of John Hopkins Hospital in the United States. This man standing here is on the staff. Many of you, whether you're Americans or not, you know about the John Hopkins Hospital in the United States. It's one of the greatest hospitals. This man is on the staff of John Hopkins Hospital. The reason he got interested in this ministry, his own little girl was healed. When medical science could do nothing for his own little girl, his own little girl was healed by the power of God, just like people are getting healed here today. That's right, Ms. Goldman. And this is real. Tell about the gentleman here. What is it? This gentleman had a mastoid operation when he was very young, and as a result of that, they perforated the eardrum, which is sometimes unavoidable in surgery, and he has not been able to hear, but occasionally, a little bit out of that ear. Since the service began, now he can hear out of that ear. I checked him out over in the corner. He can hear a whisper, and even I was surprised. Can you hear me now? I hear you now. Can you hear me now? Yes, I hear you now. Can you hear me perfectly? I can hear you perfectly. Where are you from? Michigan. Where do you go to church? First Baptist, Monroe, Michigan. He's your Baptist in for good measure. Can you hear me now? I hear you now. I hear you now. Can you hear me? Yes, I hear you whispering. I hear you now. Are you surprised? This man is shocked. Dear Jesus, just thank you. All we can say is just thank you. Just thank you. We give you the honor for ever and ever. Amen. What is this over here? What is this, honey? Thank you. A bath? I said you are free. Bend over right now. Just bend completely. Well, there's nothing wrong with your bath. You go to your doctor. You find him. He'll give you a clean. You'll get it. Bend over again. Is there no pain here? No. Dear Jesus, just thank you. Just thank the power of God over this body. What is this over here? This lady is from Finland. She does not speak English. She's an interpreter. She had a migraine headache. And her breathing is normal now. She's the one that you call from the balcony. From the balcony. She's from Finland, does not speak English. She's an interpreter. And it's a feeling for migraine headache. Dear Jesus, just thank you. The power of God has gone through this body. Just thank you, dear Jesus. And through this body has come the power of God. And you can't understand me, and I can't understand you. But dear Jesus. Now hold it here. What is this over here? Another lady from Finland. Another lady from Finland. What is this? A heart condition. A heart condition. Dear Jesus, right now put in this body a brand new, beautiful heart. From Finland, I'll tell you that. Bless us. He's a preacher. He's a minister from Finland. Give him a great big applause. Use on him. Dear Jesus, withholding nothing from him. Withholding nothing from him. Use him mightily for your glory. We bow to Jesus Christ. We bow to Jesus Christ. What is this over here? What is this? A heart condition. Dear Jesus, right now put into this body a brand new, beautiful heart. All this anointing is coming off his body. So what is this? He's a Catholic priest who received the healing over a year ago. Is that right? Yeah, doctor. What is this? Ms. Coleman, this is a gentleman who has had skin cancer. He is a Catholic minister. He came into one of your services in intractable pain. He was under heavy barbiturates and narcotics, and they would not relieve the pain. He sat down and listened to the entire service. He has been back to his doctor, and there is nothing wrong. And he is a Catholic? He is a Catholic minister. A Catholic minister. I came from the United States to be a witness, Ms. Coleman. He said he has come from the United States to give this witness. Were you instantly healed? It was before your service. Yeah, hold up. Somebody hold him. Is that for real? Just once. Let's sing it. Alleluia. Sing it. That concludes this message. We hope it has been a blessing to you.
