00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.299
Here's a good one. They want to know why some

00:00:03.299 --> 00:00:05.320
people fall under the power, why some don't,

00:00:05.339 --> 00:00:08.759
and what's the scripture validity for this? That's

00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:12.320
a good one. You've been asked that before? A

00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:19.219
thousand times. Yes, I imagine. You know, when

00:00:19.219 --> 00:00:26.199
it comes to the power of God, why do people,

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:29.269
and this is always so amusing. Somebody coming

00:00:29.269 --> 00:00:31.370
in for the very first time, they said, my word,

00:00:31.510 --> 00:00:36.630
everybody in the place fainted. And somebody

00:00:36.630 --> 00:00:42.030
says she hypnotizes them. Why is it that folk

00:00:42.030 --> 00:00:45.570
go under the power even doing a radio broadcast

00:00:45.570 --> 00:00:51.490
or doing a telecast? I'm not near them. They're

00:00:51.490 --> 00:00:55.630
all alone. How can it be that when there's 7

00:00:55.630 --> 00:00:59.380
,000 people packed in, a great auditorium is

00:00:59.380 --> 00:01:03.640
the shrine and folk way up there in that top

00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:07.019
row in the balcony and you know it's pretty high

00:01:07.019 --> 00:01:09.480
up there when people had to bring their binoculars

00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:14.920
you know and look down and they can scarcely

00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.299
see me up there and yet you'll find them going

00:01:19.299 --> 00:01:22.819
under the power up there you'll find them being

00:01:22.819 --> 00:01:25.840
filled with the holy spirit up there remember

00:01:27.150 --> 00:01:33.030
This is a supernatural power. If I had the answer,

00:01:33.310 --> 00:01:37.189
I would tell you. I can only tell you it's supernatural.

00:01:37.870 --> 00:01:41.189
But you remember it's scriptural. And remember

00:01:41.189 --> 00:01:46.730
something. If I say one thing and the Bible says

00:01:46.730 --> 00:01:50.370
another, the Bible is right. Always remember

00:01:50.370 --> 00:01:55.049
that. If your preacher preaches one thing and...

00:01:55.390 --> 00:01:58.450
the Bible says another, the Bible is right. If

00:01:58.450 --> 00:02:01.409
your preacher tells you one thing, if your priest

00:02:01.409 --> 00:02:04.090
tells you one thing, if the rabbi tells you one

00:02:04.090 --> 00:02:07.629
thing and the Bible says another, the Bible is

00:02:07.629 --> 00:02:18.129
right. Always know that. Always know that. And

00:02:18.129 --> 00:02:23.490
never go beyond the Word of God. Don't add to

00:02:23.490 --> 00:02:29.680
God's Word. It's very easy to add to the word

00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:31.639
of God. We talk about these people who are taking

00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:39.699
away from the word of God. Cold formalism. We

00:02:39.699 --> 00:02:42.199
talk about those who deny the deity and divinity

00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.340
of Jesus Christ. They take away. They take the

00:02:45.340 --> 00:02:49.879
penknife and take out. But remember something.

00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:55.580
It can be just a disastrous to add. to the Word

00:02:55.580 --> 00:02:58.599
of God and go beyond that which is Scripture.

00:03:00.060 --> 00:03:05.180
So be careful. Don't add to whatever you do.

00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.259
It's easy to say, oh, isn't this glorious? Isn't

00:03:08.259 --> 00:03:15.479
this wonderful? Let's add a little more. Here

00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:20.580
is Scripture. This is not something new. When

00:03:20.580 --> 00:03:22.479
you come to these services and you see people

00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.400
falling under the power, this isn't something

00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:30.419
new. You know who could stand here today and

00:03:30.419 --> 00:03:36.439
tell us all about it? Oh, I wish I could bring

00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:42.159
Paul. And say, Paul, somebody's asked the question.

00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.800
They want to know, what about this falling under

00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.419
the power? Oh, he said, I'll never forget the

00:03:47.419 --> 00:03:53.800
first time I went under the power. Oh, forget

00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.460
the first time I went in the power. How many

00:03:56.460 --> 00:03:58.300
can say the same thing? Put up a hand. Yeah,

00:03:58.460 --> 00:04:00.020
some of you went in the power for the first time

00:04:00.020 --> 00:04:04.620
today, too. Oh, he said it was glorious. Well,

00:04:04.659 --> 00:04:08.259
Paul, when did it happen? Well, I'll tell you

00:04:08.259 --> 00:04:10.599
what happened. It happened on the road to Damascus.

00:04:11.259 --> 00:04:14.620
I'll tell you exactly. Well, did somebody hypnotize

00:04:14.620 --> 00:04:21.699
you? No. Nobody touched me. How do you explain

00:04:21.699 --> 00:04:24.000
it? He said, I don't know. but he said i'll give

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.180
you the account of it oh he said let me read

00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:31.660
it let me read it that ninth chapter of acts

00:04:31.660 --> 00:04:36.879
and saul get breathing out threatenings and slaughter

00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.120
against the disciples of the lord went in the

00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.439
high priest and desired of him letters to damascus

00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:48.339
to the synagogues that if he found any of this

00:04:48.339 --> 00:04:53.170
way whether they were men or women he might Bring

00:04:53.170 --> 00:04:59.310
them bound unto Jerusalem. Watch. And as he journeyed,

00:04:59.310 --> 00:05:04.910
he came near Damascus. And suddenly, there shined

00:05:04.910 --> 00:05:07.810
round about him a light from heaven. And you

00:05:07.810 --> 00:05:11.689
know what happened? And he fell to the earth.

00:05:11.730 --> 00:05:16.410
He went on the power. Just like that, he went

00:05:16.410 --> 00:05:20.129
on the power. This going on the power isn't something

00:05:20.129 --> 00:05:24.470
new. you talk about Ms. Cooman's ministry and

00:05:24.470 --> 00:05:29.610
they all go under the power. Why, believe me,

00:05:29.790 --> 00:05:35.029
I don't have a corner on the slaying power of

00:05:35.029 --> 00:05:37.529
God. I don't have that corner on the slaying

00:05:37.529 --> 00:05:41.910
power of the Holy Spirit. It happened way back

00:05:41.910 --> 00:05:48.509
there. And Paul went under the power. And I tell

00:05:48.509 --> 00:05:51.290
you, there wasn't anybody there to pick him up

00:05:51.290 --> 00:05:55.930
either. Mr. Bennett wasn't there. Red Dolan wasn't

00:05:55.930 --> 00:05:57.509
there. There wasn't anybody there to catch him,

00:05:57.529 --> 00:06:00.170
you know? And that was a long fall. He was sitting

00:06:00.170 --> 00:06:06.250
on top of a horse, probably. And the amazing

00:06:06.250 --> 00:06:07.750
thing is, when it's the power of God, nobody

00:06:07.750 --> 00:06:13.829
ever gets hurt. And watch. He fell to the earth

00:06:13.829 --> 00:06:19.250
and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul.

00:06:20.610 --> 00:06:24.810
Why? Persecuteth thou me? And he said, Who art

00:06:24.810 --> 00:06:28.110
thou, Lord? And the amazing thing, he knew it

00:06:28.110 --> 00:06:33.110
was the Lord. That was the amazing thing. He

00:06:33.110 --> 00:06:38.269
called it by name. Who art he? It was supernatural.

00:06:38.370 --> 00:06:41.149
He knew it was the power of the Lord. He knew

00:06:41.149 --> 00:06:48.689
who it was. I'll tell you. Yeah. And he said,

00:06:48.930 --> 00:06:56.560
Watch. The Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:02.379
It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:07.800
And he trembled. Oh, that's wonderful. He's still

00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:11.600
on the power. And he trembled. Shake him, good

00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.740
Lord. Shake him good. You got him now. Shake

00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:22.410
him. And he trembled and astonished. He was astonished.

00:07:22.629 --> 00:07:24.370
Haven't you seen some of these people get up

00:07:24.370 --> 00:07:27.829
from under the power? So astonished, what happened

00:07:27.829 --> 00:07:33.670
to me? And astonished, he said, Lord, what wilt

00:07:33.670 --> 00:07:36.910
thou have me to do? He got the whole thing in

00:07:36.910 --> 00:07:41.230
a hurry, you know it? He sure did. And the Lord

00:07:41.230 --> 00:07:47.050
said, Watch. Arise. Get up. He didn't have Red

00:07:47.050 --> 00:07:48.790
to pick him up. He didn't have Mr. Bennett to

00:07:48.790 --> 00:07:52.439
pick him up. He didn't. Get up. He's still out

00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:58.560
on the power. Get up. Come on. Arise. And go

00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.600
in the city, and it shall be told thee what thou

00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:09.740
must do. And remember, when the soldiers came

00:08:09.740 --> 00:08:14.500
to take Jesus, what happened? They all fell on

00:08:14.500 --> 00:08:22.569
the power. Understand something. I still believe.

00:08:23.490 --> 00:08:26.689
Now, this is my part of the answer. I'd give

00:08:26.689 --> 00:08:29.370
you the scripture. How many see the description

00:08:29.370 --> 00:08:32.570
going under power? Put them in. It's scriptural.

00:08:32.629 --> 00:08:36.590
It's there. Uh -huh. If you don't believe it,

00:08:36.730 --> 00:08:42.809
you call Paul down. He'll verify it. And if you

00:08:42.809 --> 00:08:45.789
still don't believe it, as soon as you get home

00:08:45.789 --> 00:08:49.009
to glory, look him up and ask him about it. You'll

00:08:49.009 --> 00:08:53.700
be convinced. But this is the way I feel about

00:08:53.700 --> 00:08:58.080
the power of God. These old bodies of ours, do

00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.299
you know that this is still corruption? These

00:09:01.299 --> 00:09:06.840
bodies. Our redemption will not be perfected

00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:10.500
until we stand in his glorious presence. We're

00:09:10.500 --> 00:09:13.620
redeemed now. Do you understand that? We're redeemed

00:09:13.620 --> 00:09:16.309
now, beloved. have we passed from death and life

00:09:16.309 --> 00:09:20.350
now are we the sons of god now we're his heirs

00:09:20.350 --> 00:09:24.830
and joint heirs with christ jesus but our redemption

00:09:24.830 --> 00:09:29.029
is not perfected until we stand in his glorious

00:09:29.029 --> 00:09:32.470
presence and this which is mortal will have put

00:09:32.470 --> 00:09:36.289
on immortality these bodies are still corruption

00:09:36.289 --> 00:09:38.769
they go back to the earth from whence they came

00:09:38.769 --> 00:09:46.259
and that which is still corruption is not geared

00:09:46.259 --> 00:09:50.600
for so much power. It's not geared for glory.

00:09:52.299 --> 00:09:54.039
That's the reason with all this glory I talk

00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:55.320
to you about being filled with the Holy Spirit,

00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:59.639
and yet there is so much of the power of God

00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:04.919
that my own body, this which is flesh, can only

00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:09.019
stand just so much of the power. And then, beloved,

00:10:09.259 --> 00:10:15.690
it can't take it anymore. And down it goes. How

00:10:15.690 --> 00:10:19.470
many understand that? Put up a hand. You cannot,

00:10:19.470 --> 00:10:24.309
when you see a big 200 -pound man, when you see

00:10:24.309 --> 00:10:31.590
a man 225 pounds, hit the floor with a crash,

00:10:31.889 --> 00:10:38.190
with a bang. And you know that that man is doing

00:10:38.190 --> 00:10:45.480
everything. Oh, but the nicest thing is to see

00:10:45.480 --> 00:11:02.240
some little prissy woman. You know, I still say

00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:04.299
that God has a sense of humor. I believe that.

00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:10.409
I watched it. I... Still, you'll never make me

00:11:10.409 --> 00:11:12.029
believe that God doesn't have a sense of humor.

00:11:13.250 --> 00:11:21.169
And I've seen them. There. Every. Well, I'll

00:11:21.169 --> 00:11:22.549
tell you the funniest thing I ever saw was a

00:11:22.549 --> 00:11:24.570
woman's wig just fall right off of her head.

00:11:33.110 --> 00:11:34.909
That's one thing they didn't have in the early

00:11:34.909 --> 00:11:42.340
church that we've got. And sometimes the most

00:11:42.340 --> 00:11:49.879
unlikely people. The most... And I just kind

00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:54.220
of think the angels are smiling, you know. And

00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:56.220
the most wonderful thing is, I'll tell you a

00:11:56.220 --> 00:12:00.200
secret. After you have felt the power of God,

00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:05.139
after you've gone under power, you're never quite

00:12:05.139 --> 00:12:10.269
the same again. Never. Ralph, there's something

00:12:10.269 --> 00:12:16.570
about it. I can tell you. You are never quite

00:12:16.570 --> 00:12:23.950
the same again. You see... I mean, this is the

00:12:23.950 --> 00:12:28.230
way I feel about it. You become so personal to

00:12:28.230 --> 00:12:31.669
him. It isn't that you have to go down in the

00:12:31.669 --> 00:12:38.470
power to feel personal to him. But it's when...

00:12:39.019 --> 00:12:46.500
The power of God strikes you. Along with it,

00:12:46.500 --> 00:12:54.679
there's love. It's just like he folds you close

00:12:54.679 --> 00:13:02.580
to his heart. And you're never quite the same

00:13:02.580 --> 00:13:09.529
again. I cannot give you the full answer. There

00:13:09.529 --> 00:13:13.309
may be much more than I'm telling you. But I'm

00:13:13.309 --> 00:13:16.769
only telling you what I know. How many understand?

00:13:17.009 --> 00:13:23.669
Put up a hand. Uh -huh. That's why they go into

00:13:23.669 --> 00:13:28.389
power. You don't need me to touch you. You don't

00:13:28.389 --> 00:13:34.409
need me to lay hands on you. But it's as real

00:13:34.409 --> 00:13:39.710
as the air that you breathe. Thank you, Miss

00:13:39.710 --> 00:13:41.149
Kuhlman. I'm going to tell them the first time

00:13:41.149 --> 00:13:43.950
I visited you in Pittsburgh, I was in the audience

00:13:43.950 --> 00:13:47.289
as a stranger, and a lady fell over on me three

00:13:47.289 --> 00:13:53.629
times. You didn't touch her. That's right. I

00:13:53.629 --> 00:13:55.610
finally kept propping her up, and I was a little

00:13:55.610 --> 00:13:57.049
bit embarrassed. I turned to my wife. I said,

00:13:57.070 --> 00:14:06.470
Honey, she can't help it. I want to ask something

00:14:06.470 --> 00:14:09.440
just now. On this platform, this is filled with

00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.580
ministers. How many for the very first time went

00:14:13.580 --> 00:14:15.299
under the power of God today? Let me see your

00:14:15.299 --> 00:14:22.059
hand. Stand up. Stand up. Stand up. Stand up

00:14:22.059 --> 00:14:25.419
for the very first time. Will you do something?

00:14:25.860 --> 00:14:28.700
Will you do something in just one sentence? Pass

00:14:28.700 --> 00:14:32.620
this microphone over here and tell what the sensation

00:14:32.620 --> 00:14:35.080
was like with your mind in just one sentence.

00:14:35.139 --> 00:14:38.539
Come on. Come on. These ministers, all right.

00:14:38.740 --> 00:14:40.980
It's awfully hard to find the words. It's just,

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.419
just flood your heart with love. I think that's

00:14:43.419 --> 00:14:56.200
the best expression. I just felt enveloped by

00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:00.100
the love of Jesus. That's right. Enveloped by

00:15:00.100 --> 00:15:04.519
the love of Jesus. That's it. Come on. I felt

00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:06.769
that God was more personal. When he'd ever had

00:15:06.769 --> 00:15:09.509
been before. I believe that. That's right. Come

00:15:09.509 --> 00:15:15.210
on. I just felt released in him. Released in

00:15:15.210 --> 00:15:22.289
him. Now, hear this. This is a wonderful faith.

00:15:23.070 --> 00:15:28.750
A full release. I know. I know it's the power

00:15:28.750 --> 00:15:32.409
of the Holy Spirit that goes through. Oh, I know.

00:15:32.470 --> 00:15:41.059
Let him go with the power. This is something

00:15:41.059 --> 00:15:43.659
you can't explain, but it's marvelous. There

00:15:43.659 --> 00:15:46.120
was a melting of the coldness that kept me from

00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:55.399
Jesus. I know. I know. And that fresh baptism

00:15:55.399 --> 00:16:06.600
of the love of God. I'm a Pentecostal minister.

00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:10.299
But this is the first time I have fallen under

00:16:10.299 --> 00:16:13.120
the power, and I just felt so totally involved

00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:17.700
that I couldn't stand up. I didn't lose consciousness,

00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:20.700
but I felt so involved in everything that was

00:16:20.700 --> 00:16:24.759
happening that I couldn't stand up. And Father,

00:16:25.179 --> 00:16:32.539
what he is expressing, I pray that every minister

00:16:32.539 --> 00:16:41.320
behind that sacred desk shall know. I just felt

00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:43.679
closer to Jesus than I'd ever felt before in

00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:47.279
my life. That's right. Closer to him, it makes

00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:50.019
him more personal. And it's something you can't

00:16:50.019 --> 00:17:00.320
explain. Yes. Come on, God bless you. Something

00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.740
happened, and I know it was for real. Something

00:17:03.740 --> 00:17:06.240
happened, and I know it was for real. Give him

00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:17.079
a great big God bless you. Well, you had prayed

00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:18.980
for me once before, and I felt this tremendous

00:17:18.980 --> 00:17:22.839
charge on me today. After she prayed, I was kneeling

00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:25.099
there, and these fellows were right there. And

00:17:25.099 --> 00:17:27.700
when they put their hands on me too, the tremendous

00:17:27.700 --> 00:17:30.519
presence of the Lord really came on me, and I

00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:32.819
just praise Him for it. Thank you, Jesus. And

00:17:32.819 --> 00:17:36.059
you can't describe it? No, no. It's just, well,

00:17:36.140 --> 00:17:38.079
it's kind of like electrical charge. You're aware.

00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:41.660
I'll say it's a charge all right, I'll tell you.

00:17:42.859 --> 00:17:46.039
Dear Jesus, I thank you for the power of the

00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:51.039
Holy Spirit. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.

00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:57.519
Come on. I praise God today. It was an opportunity

00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:01.599
for me to empty myself. It is not I, but it is

00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:05.599
Christ in me. Hallelujah. And Father, taste this

00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:20.880
life and use it vitally. Hey. All I know is that

00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:24.259
through this clinic and through the meeting today

00:18:24.259 --> 00:18:26.299
with Jesus Christ and through this encounter

00:18:26.299 --> 00:18:29.500
with Mrs. Kuhlman, the Lord just, I'm just beginning

00:18:29.500 --> 00:18:32.339
to realize that I can't limit the Lord. He can

00:18:32.339 --> 00:18:34.079
do anything He wants to do with me, and I'm ready.

00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:40.359
Yeah, yeah. I just praise Him for just touching

00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:46.470
my life today. We're ready. We're ready. Father,

00:18:46.589 --> 00:18:50.269
we're ready. Oh, we're so ready, Father God.

00:18:50.890 --> 00:18:54.309
Take this one. Take this one. Take this one.

00:18:54.369 --> 00:18:56.789
Take this one. Oh, I know what must be better

00:18:56.789 --> 00:18:58.069
right now. The power of God going through his

00:18:58.069 --> 00:19:18.099
body. The power of... We're going through the

00:19:18.099 --> 00:19:22.299
clinic. I thought we were going into another

00:19:22.299 --> 00:19:26.859
miracle service at the shrine, Ms. Kuhlman. Dear

00:19:26.859 --> 00:19:31.299
Lord, taste it like you use it. All blessings

00:19:31.299 --> 00:19:35.859
shall be upon you. This shall be the beginning

00:19:35.859 --> 00:19:40.420
of one of the greatest miracles. Use it for your

00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:46.460
glory. This is glory, you know it?
