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.

Sermon Summary
In this video, a woman from Milton, Massachusetts shares her testimony of experiencing a miraculous healing. She had been in pain for many years but during a church service, she felt a warm sensation on the side of her face that she had never felt before. She also discovered that she could open and close her hands without pain. The preacher emphasizes that these spiritual experiences cannot be fully described or understood, but they are evidence of the power of God. The video also highlights the importance of giving glory to God and recognizing Jesus as our great high priest who intercedes for us.
Sermon Transcription
It's the same slain power that Saul knew at the time of his conversion on the road to Damascus. Ha ha. The same slain power that he knew when he fell to the ground. But that power is as real as God Himself, as real as the person of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is the secret of the power in my life. All that I have to do is to surrender my life to Him, and He takes back which I surrender. What He's done for me, He'll do for you. He's no respecter of persons. There isn't a preacher who's ever been called to preach the gospel. But what can have the same power in his life, in his ministry? I don't care who you are. I have nothing that you cannot have. Nothing. He's no respecter of persons. I still feel, and it's my firm conviction, that if He knows He can trust you, He'll give you that which He feels He can trust you with. As for me, I still feel there's more. There's so much more, and there isn't a person living today who is as hungry as I am for more. There's so much more. The greatest saint that ever lived never received all of God that God had for that one. For I do not believe that anyone has ever learned how to surrender completely, so complete that the Holy Spirit was able to do all that He wanted to do and could do, was willing to do through that building that there is more. And when we get home to glory one of these days, and stand in His wonderful presence, we'll be amazed to know how much more could have been ours if we'd only learned how to move to Him. I'll forget there's anyone else here, just you and the Master. Father God, we vow with every atom of our being to be so careful to give you the praise, to give you all the honor and the glory for everything the Holy Spirit does in this place of worship today. It's not ours, sir. I pray that if not one person shall see Catherine Kuhlman, not one who is coming to this holy sanctuary today shall see thy servant. We're here to see you. We're here because we love you, and we vow, we vow with our very life to be so careful to give you the praise. Just write out loud, say, Dear Jesus, Today is my day. Say it again. Today is my day. I promise to give you the glory. I promise to give you the glory. I promise to give you the honor. I promise to give you the honor. For answering prayer. For answering prayer. For Jesus' sake. For Jesus' sake. Amen. Then sings my soul lifted everywhere. But there's a secret. Oh, but there's a secret. Oh, but there's a secret. There's so much confusion out there. We lose our perspective. We lose our real sense of value. We're never quiet long enough to let Him speak to us. Be still. Recognize His power, the one all-powerful. Recognize the fact that at the right hand of God the Father this very moment, in position of great high priest is the very Son of the living God. You and I have a great high priest, whether you're Catholic or Protestant. Remember, we have the same great high priest. In the person of the Son of the living God are the great, the true, the only Messiah. Whoever liveth to make intercession for you and for me and we cannot miss and we cannot be defeated. I don't care what of the problem that life of yours. I don't care how big, how impossible the thing may seem to you in the natural. Only man thinks in terms of impossibilities, not God, not Jesus. Before Jesus went away, He left us His name to use. And we come boldly before the Father's throne and we stand in this sanctuary this Friday morning. We're using His name and in using His name we have a hearing. And the Father hears the slightest whisper. God Almighty hears the slightest whisper from your heart. In this place is the Holy Spirit. That's the reason you do not need Catherine Kuhn to lay hands on you, to even touch you, or to even come nearing you. You do not need me to be present in this sanctuary. You do not need me. I'm not needed. I'm not necessary to the answer to your prayer, the healing of your body. I'm not necessary. When you have Him, you have all that makes for the sufficient thing. That's the reason people are healed. They're just standing here, just sitting here. His very presence is here to heal. Just softly worship Him in the spirit of the eyes closed. But heads up, lift it up. Lift your heads. The time to bow one's head, but this is the moment for praise and worship. Lift it in praise. We adore Thou who art the forgiver of every good and perfect gift. Recognizing the fact that every beat of the heart, or every breath that you take will be dependent upon you. No person is independent. In Himself, breathe upon our waiting hearts. Be so pleased to come upon this people just now. Breathe. We rebook that sugar diabetes in the name of Jesus. That sugar shall go in Jesus' mighty name. And someone was healing sugar diabetes before this service ever started. Just sitting in the sanctuary. Waiting for the service to begin, the power of the Holy Spirit went through somebody's body. Sugar diabetes. There's also been a hip healing. That healing too began before you ever came into the sanctuary this morning. There's a hip healing. Just now, wherever you're standing, begin moving that leg. Just begin moving that leg, and you'll find the hip is completely healed, and there's no pain in it whatsoever. No pain in that hip whatsoever. There's been that wonderful hip healing. If you want to, you can step out in the aisle, and you'll find it's been completely healed wherever the person is. Just completely healed. It has to do with a hip. What is this? I'll do your practice on you. Pick the hip up. Just pick it up. Bend it all the way back. Just bend it. Bend the knee now. Just bend the knee. Is there no pain there? Jump down as high as you can. Come on, walk over here. Come on. Come on. I'll do your practice on you. Come on, walk up here just a minute. Come on. Come on. Come on. Reverently, audibly, say praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Come here. Where are you from? Elkhart, Indiana. Did you expect this to happen to you today? No. You mean you really didn't? No, I didn't think I was worthy. Honey, none of us are worthy. None of us are worthy. Always remember that. Praise God. It's His mercy. It's His love. It's His great compassion. Who came with you? Friends of ours. Mine. Where are the friends of this woman? There. Look, they're all standing there. And they're just as amazed as you are. Yes. Where do you go to church? United Brethren. United Brethren. And what was this? What was the condition? I had a congenital dislocated hip that I've had since birth. Since birth, honey? Since birth. But I've only been on the crutches for about four months. The hip socket completely gave way. And I was sent to Cleveland Clinic. And they put so much surgery for till November or December. What were they going to do? They didn't know. They had no idea what they could do in there. It was completely destroyed. The hip socket completely gone. No wonder you're weeping. Put yourself in this one's place. Had you given up hope? No. That's the reason you came? Right. Was this your last resort? Really? Yes. But you didn't expect it to happen so quickly. No. Have you suffered greatly with this? Very much. I'm on next to morphine pills right now for the pain. Where I haven't had any since this morning. Do you want to know what Jesus is really like? Do you want to know what God is really like? I think of that over and over and over again. I've never seen the Heavenly Father. I've never seen Jesus. And yet I love my Lord enough that I'm glad to give my life for Him. I am giving my life for Him. Yet I've never seen Him, but I know exactly what He's like. That love, that compassion. When I see His mercy and His great compassion in a moment like this. Praise God. I know that the power of God is going through this body. Pick up your leg. Pick it up, honey. Can I take my shoes off? Can I take my shoes off? You can do anything you want to, honey. Just do anything you want to. From the top of her head to the soles of her feet, there flows this wonderful resurrection power. That unseen force. That great unseen person. The mighty third person of Trinity. Thank you. That's one thing you'll not share with any human being. You'll not share the glory. You will not share the glory. And we bow with our life to be careful to give you the glory and to give you the praise. We bow. We bow with our life. Thank you. Are you sure this is you? You're not quite sure, right? After having it for so many years. Yeah, after having it for so many years. That's right. Praise God. That's right. Praise Him. Bend the knee again. No pain. None. None. Stand on it now with your full weight. And feel no pain. Walk down the steps again. Walk down the steps again. You're the crutches. There she goes. Don't forget your shoes. And she can't believe her hands. There they are. She can't believe that she can open and close her hands. And while we were singing, How Great Thou Art, I've had pain this way. While we were singing, How Great Thou Art, this side of my face was a different warmth, a pleasant, wonderful warmth. The whole side of the face where I've never had it before. It is something you can't describe. It's impossible. That's the reason I've asked these people over and over again. What is the sensation? What happened to you? You cannot describe the spiritual things. That which is born of flesh is flesh and that which is born of spirit is spirit. You cannot describe it. Where are you from? I'm from Milford, Massachusetts. It's near Boston. Near Boston? Did you expect this to happen to you? No, not really. Multiple sclerosis for how long? Three years now. And you really, when you came, why did you come? To more or less receive? First, because I heard about the work that's being done here. Second, because a friend of ours came in June. And Kathryn Kuhlman's service came at me from all kinds of directions and places and from all kinds of people. And I knew the day was coming, but I didn't know when. And then all of a sudden, the day came. So you just wanted to come to a service. But you really didn't expect to be here to multiple sclerosis. Open your hands again. Put your hands up closer. Closer. Are they perfect? No, there's no numbness. There's no... They're normal hands. Pick it up. Hold it up high. You have perfect use now of both hands. No numbness whatsoever. Close them as hard as you can. Put them together now. Squeeze them just as hard as you can. Have light. You have feeling. Everything. Everything. But the greatest thing was your face. And my face is where I really felt it, where the pain has been hard here. All of a sudden, just a pleasant warmth covered my whole face and the side of my head. While we were seeing all of you. I didn't know I was seeing how great that was. At the very beginning. Right. And you didn't expect it to happen so quickly either. I didn't expect it to happen at all. As long as we both shall live, we vow to give you the praise. But Father God, her spiritual experience shall even be greater than the physical healing. One cannot be touched by the power of the Holy Spirit physically without also receiving something spiritually. Thanks, a million thanks. There she goes, a happy... I'm going back. My sister's here with me from West Virginia. She's coming to New Orleans. Where's her sister? Wave at me. Where's her sister? She's back there someplace. Dear Jesus, I give her a sister in the overflow, I pray. For Jesus' sake, we ask you. God bless you. Where are you from? Cleveland. Are you really? How are you from Cleveland? Solon. And we listened to your program with all the Solon people too. With Solon. It is hard to believe, isn't it really? It certainly is. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. Now that's the truth. You see, I always put myself in the place of other folk. And I take so much for granted, I guess, because I am in these services so constantly. But I wonder what I would do or how I would feel if I would not be a part of the services. That's the reason I never condemn people who say, I can't believe. You have to see with your own eyes to believe. Absolutely. Right? Right. And then sometimes, even sitting there and watching it, you wonder, are my eyes deceiving me? You kind of wonder, don't you? You certainly do. Now do you understand why I say now, if there's a husband, will a husband come up? Or I say, does someone know this person? Come up and verify it. Because I don't want anybody to believe that it isn't just that way. And you understand why I do it. Right. What was your attitude before you came in here today? I was very skeptical. It was something that I didn't believe in. I didn't know that much about it myself. But just driving down here at 4 o'clock this morning and driving by the church at quarter to 6, I started to become a believer real quick. Your reason told you. Right. That these people wouldn't be sitting out here at 6 o'clock and 5 o'clock in the morning. I imagine quite a bit earlier because it was mobbed at that time. How early has it been that you ever have gotten up to go to church? I really can't say. I don't know. It certainly hasn't been before 9 o'clock. Yeah. Uh-huh. Just like that. But when you see the woman like the woman with the brace, when you see that and see that she's worn braces all of her life and see her healed and walk without a brace, you've got to believe, right? No other choice. Can't help but believe. Yeah. He wanted to stand by his people though. I think he didn't want to deny the Jewish people and so he stood by them. I think that's part of it. He came to pray for his father. He's very sick. Oh, your father is sick. Right. But if you only could understand something, I wish I had the time to tell you. See, you're just coming into your wonderful day now. In the very near future, all of Israel, all of Israel, when God and His great glory comes to their defense, when the greatest manifestation of God's power, all of Israel in the very near future will acknowledge Jesus as the true Messiah. The greatest miracle of the century is going to take place in the very near future, right over there in the Middle East. And now, here and there, there are hundreds and thousands who are beginning to see, the first who are just beginning to see, one of these days your entire family. But remember, you only become a whole Jew. You remain Jewish, but you become a whole Jew. After you have done exactly what you've done today. I see. I believe. You're still Jewish. Nobody changes that. Nobody's going to change that. You still are. Only you're a better Jew. And if you only knew the love that I have for the Jewish people, because I know the covenants and the promises that Jehovah God made to the seed of Israel. Oh, bless them. Dear, wonderful Jesus, just bless them. Just bless them. That concludes this message. We hope it has been a blessing to you.
