Foreword If you never meet
Kathryn Kuhlman, you will not have missed a thing.
If you are seeking a
faith healer, read no further. If you are in search
of a profound
theology, this book is definitely not a textbook. Is
it a new religion
or sensation you want? Then I surely cannot help
you. I have no new
religion to offer. I am not a modem day seer nor am
I a worker of
miracles.
Kathryn Kuhlman is just a woman. No one knows better than I that in myself, I am nothing. I am not your point of contact. I am not a deliverer. I stand before you helpless and yet the miracles happen. Why—why? I marvel just as you will marvel, I weep just as you will weep; I rejoice just as you will rejoice as through the pages of this book you begin to catch a glimpse of the awesome love and power of God Almighty as He touches and moves in His sovereignty. The people come. And in their desperation they seek answers. “Why am I so ill?” people ask. “If God loves me, why did He take my child?” “I have cancer and I am afraid to die. What can I do?” “My husband is mentally depressed. Our home, our marriage, is just miserable.” “I have prayed for my healing and I believe that God can heal. Why am I not healed?” How would you answer them? How can I answer them? I would give my life—my life—if that would be the answer. In the great miracle services in Los Angeles, in Pittsburgh, no matter in which city, there are thousands of people who come expecting me to work that miracle they seek. But I have nothing whatsoever to do with what happens. I am just as amazed and thrilled as anyone else when the service begins and God works His “wonders in the midst of us all. The Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity, comes in power and He uses the vessel yielded unto Him. I cannot use the Holy Spirit, He must use me. It is not so important that I touch anyone, but rather that the Holy Spirit touch the life, the heart, and fill the individual with himself. A body made whole by the power of God is a great miracle of God’s love and mercy. But the greatest miracle of all is a heart made clean by the blood of Jesus Christ—a soul born again by the Holy Spirit, born into the family of God, our Heavenly Father, made an heir and joint-heir with our precious Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. That God should love us so much—this is the miracle of all miracles. You ask me for answers. I have only one: Jesus Christ. He is the answer, no matter what the question maybe. As for Kathryn Kuhlman, I am just a child of my Heavenly Father because of Jesus Christ, and without the Holy Spirit I am nothing—nothing. How can I help but say, “Thank you, Jesus––thanks a million!” Kathryn Kuhlman A Reporter’s Account: Chapter 1 |
