00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.320
Today, some more of those questions. Some of

00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:07.320
you may feel that they're better than the heart

00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:10.939
-to -heart talk. Well, I would say that there

00:00:10.939 --> 00:00:13.740
were an awful lot of heart -to -heart talks all

00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:18.579
wrapped up in every one of these questions. Oh,

00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:22.780
I've just loved answering them. And I just hope

00:00:22.780 --> 00:00:25.280
and pray that you will have learned much and

00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:28.679
received much from the... answer that has been

00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:34.079
given to these questions. 42 of them. This is

00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:39.420
question number 30. What is your comment to Christians

00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:42.479
who come to your meetings and go away without

00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:48.039
having been healed? I have no comment whatsoever.

00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:57.409
Because whether that one was healed or not, was

00:00:57.409 --> 00:01:04.290
in the hands of God. At no time is it my responsibility.

00:01:05.510 --> 00:01:09.709
I am not perfect wisdom. I am not perfect knowledge.

00:01:10.170 --> 00:01:14.170
I have no healing virtue. I have never healed

00:01:14.170 --> 00:01:19.469
anyone. I have no power to heal. The whole responsibility

00:01:19.469 --> 00:01:26.010
rests in the hands of God and the individual.

00:01:27.849 --> 00:01:32.650
And it's just like that. But of course I'm human,

00:01:32.769 --> 00:01:38.769
and you'll never know how I hurt on the inside

00:01:38.769 --> 00:01:44.109
of me when the service is over with. And I see

00:01:44.109 --> 00:01:48.170
those who've come in wheelchairs being pushed

00:01:48.170 --> 00:01:52.790
into the street again in the same wheelchairs

00:01:52.790 --> 00:01:59.250
in which they came. You'll never know the ache

00:01:59.250 --> 00:02:03.450
on the inside of me, the suffering that I feel,

00:02:03.629 --> 00:02:09.629
but the answer I must leave with God. And one

00:02:09.629 --> 00:02:11.590
of these days when I get home to glory, I'm going

00:02:11.590 --> 00:02:15.150
to ask Him to give me the answer from His own

00:02:15.150 --> 00:02:20.810
lips as to why everyone is not healed. But something

00:02:20.810 --> 00:02:24.860
happened when I was in Kansas City. Uh... The

00:02:24.860 --> 00:02:30.340
Kansas City Star sent a very marvelous reporter,

00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.800
one of their best, to the services. I became

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:40.740
acquainted with her. A lovely reporter. She'd

00:02:40.740 --> 00:02:46.060
been trained in New York City. And everyone knows

00:02:46.060 --> 00:02:50.780
the strength of the Kansas City Star. But the

00:02:50.780 --> 00:02:54.419
last night that I was... in the great services

00:02:54.419 --> 00:02:58.159
in Kansas City. She came back in my dressing

00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:04.060
room. She found me crying. And I just started

00:03:04.060 --> 00:03:06.460
baring my soul to her, forgetting she was a reporter.

00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.680
And I said, you know, people would think that

00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.020
after a great miracle service like this, with

00:03:15.020 --> 00:03:17.580
scores and scores having been healed, that I

00:03:17.580 --> 00:03:19.240
would be the happiest person in the whole world

00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:27.319
at a moment like this. I am grateful, as I have

00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:31.699
seen the manifestation of God's power. But I

00:03:31.699 --> 00:03:36.500
hurt and am grieved for those who were not healed.

00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:42.479
And I wonder if perhaps I had known how better

00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.259
to have cooperated with the Holy Spirit that

00:03:45.259 --> 00:03:49.699
more might have been accomplished for God. She

00:03:49.699 --> 00:03:57.629
saw me as a human being. She saw me weak. It

00:03:57.629 --> 00:04:01.150
was about three weeks later when I received a

00:04:01.150 --> 00:04:05.349
letter from this reporter, and she said, Catherine

00:04:05.349 --> 00:04:08.430
Kuhlman, I'm not writing as a reporter working

00:04:08.430 --> 00:04:14.590
for the Kansas City Star, but as someone who

00:04:14.590 --> 00:04:19.069
had a friend in that last service. He was an

00:04:19.069 --> 00:04:22.810
attorney dying of cancer. They brought him on

00:04:22.810 --> 00:04:29.480
a stretcher. and about a week after you left

00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.240
Kansas City, I went to his home, was greeted

00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.040
at the front door by his wife, and she said,

00:04:35.060 --> 00:04:41.639
you know, calling him by name, Tom died. But

00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.100
she said I was so amazed when she asked me to

00:04:44.100 --> 00:04:48.079
come in, and her face was so radiant. She said,

00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:54.920
you know, that service in the auditorium that

00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:59.790
night, was the greatest thing that happened to

00:04:59.790 --> 00:05:04.250
Tom. It was the most wonderful thing that happened

00:05:04.250 --> 00:05:10.389
to him. He was not healed. We took him back home

00:05:10.389 --> 00:05:12.750
on the same stretcher on which he was carried.

00:05:13.670 --> 00:05:19.529
But it was during that service that Tom prepared

00:05:19.529 --> 00:05:26.879
for death. It was lying on that stretcher, when

00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.920
the power of God was falling, that my husband

00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:35.620
Tom accepted Christ in the forgiveness of his

00:05:35.620 --> 00:05:42.060
sins. And when he died, death was so easy. It

00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:48.079
was glorious to hear him thanking Jesus for the

00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:53.009
forgiveness of his sins. And the reporter said

00:05:53.009 --> 00:05:57.990
to me, you know, Catherine Kuhlman, remember,

00:05:58.129 --> 00:06:03.410
don't weep after a service anymore. When you

00:06:03.410 --> 00:06:04.910
think there should have been greater results

00:06:04.910 --> 00:06:09.370
than the healing of sick bodies, always remember

00:06:09.370 --> 00:06:15.810
our friend Tom. The greatest miracle that could

00:06:15.810 --> 00:06:19.769
have happened to him was the salvation of his

00:06:19.769 --> 00:06:25.170
soul. No, I do not understand why everyone is

00:06:25.170 --> 00:06:30.949
not healed physically. But all can be healed

00:06:30.949 --> 00:06:35.209
spiritually. And that's the greatest miracle

00:06:35.209 --> 00:06:41.009
that any human being can know. Question number

00:06:41.009 --> 00:06:44.889
31. Do you think that there is any correlation

00:06:44.889 --> 00:06:48.810
between your ministry of healing and such phenomena

00:06:48.810 --> 00:06:57.399
as ESP? I'll be very frank with you. I know absolutely

00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:04.100
nothing about ESP. Perhaps I'm the most ignorant

00:07:04.100 --> 00:07:07.459
person in the world today, especially in public

00:07:07.459 --> 00:07:12.399
life, when it comes to the subject of ESP. I've

00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:17.860
never read a book on ESP. I have never studied

00:07:17.860 --> 00:07:23.040
it. I've always felt that I have had enough to

00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:28.399
do to study the Bible, and I just lean completely

00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:33.379
on the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.

00:07:36.660 --> 00:07:43.980
Question number 32. Is there healing in the atonement?

00:07:44.459 --> 00:07:48.910
Did Christ die to relieve us of... Are physical

00:07:48.910 --> 00:07:53.230
as well as spiritual infirmities? Do you keep

00:07:53.230 --> 00:07:57.290
tabs on the ratio of physical and spiritual healings?

00:07:58.269 --> 00:08:01.310
Can or should a believer have one without the

00:08:01.310 --> 00:08:05.230
other? Now that, my friend, is a loaded question.

00:08:06.290 --> 00:08:09.689
Because in this question, we have about six questions

00:08:09.689 --> 00:08:16.009
all wrapped up in one. First of all, let me make

00:08:16.009 --> 00:08:20.449
it very clear. that Jesus died for the whole

00:08:20.449 --> 00:08:26.209
man, body, soul, and spirit. And man is a trinity,

00:08:26.290 --> 00:08:31.129
even as God is a trinity. The Father, the Son,

00:08:31.209 --> 00:08:35.509
the Holy Ghost. Man is a trinity, body, soul,

00:08:35.789 --> 00:08:41.590
and spirit. And he would be an unjust God if

00:08:41.590 --> 00:08:45.529
he permitted his Son to come and die for just

00:08:45.529 --> 00:08:51.129
a part of man. When Jesus cried on the cross,

00:08:51.289 --> 00:08:55.870
it is finished, the price was paid through the

00:08:55.870 --> 00:09:01.429
atonement for the whole man, every part of man,

00:09:01.690 --> 00:09:06.029
for the physical, for the spiritual, for the

00:09:06.029 --> 00:09:12.820
soul, the whole thing paid in full. Get back

00:09:12.820 --> 00:09:15.360
to the first part of that question. Is there

00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:19.059
healing in the atonement? Did Christ die to relieve

00:09:19.059 --> 00:09:22.740
us of our physical as well as spiritual infirmities?

00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:28.620
Let's go back to the first Passover as recorded

00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:32.759
in the 12th chapter of Exodus. Begin with the

00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:35.799
third verse. Speak ye unto all the congregation

00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.700
of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month,

00:09:39.070 --> 00:09:41.730
They shall take to them every man a lamb according

00:09:41.730 --> 00:09:44.529
to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an

00:09:44.529 --> 00:09:47.730
house. And if the household paid too little for

00:09:47.730 --> 00:09:50.450
the lamb, let him and his neighbor next unto

00:09:50.450 --> 00:09:53.009
his house take it according to the number of

00:09:53.009 --> 00:09:55.669
the souls. Every man according to his eating

00:09:55.669 --> 00:10:00.149
shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb

00:10:00.149 --> 00:10:03.009
shall be without blemish a male of the first

00:10:03.009 --> 00:10:07.289
year. Ye shall take it out from the sheep or

00:10:07.289 --> 00:10:11.460
from the goats. And ye shall keep it up until

00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:14.240
the fourteenth day of the same month. And the

00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.919
whole assembly of the congregation of Israel

00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.559
shall kill it in the evening. Now watch this,

00:10:20.740 --> 00:10:24.600
the seventh verse. And they shall take of the

00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.440
blood, strike it on the two side posts and on

00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.259
the upper door posts of the houses, wherein they

00:10:31.259 --> 00:10:39.100
shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh. In

00:10:39.100 --> 00:10:45.600
that night, roast with fire and unleavened bread,

00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:51.860
and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. That

00:10:51.860 --> 00:10:57.080
was the first Passover. The blood to be sprinkled

00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:00.840
on the length of the doorpost of the house, but

00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:07.139
the flesh of the lamb shall be eaten. We forget.

00:11:07.740 --> 00:11:13.120
the true meaning of the flesh of the Lamb. There

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.840
are literally thousands and thousands of Christians

00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:20.159
who partake of the Lord's Supper, the Communion.

00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:28.139
All know regarding the wine. As you partake of

00:11:28.139 --> 00:11:30.240
the wine, as you hold the little cup in your

00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.840
hand, or as you drink the wine at the altar,

00:11:35.149 --> 00:11:40.429
a symbol of the shed blood of Jesus Christ. It

00:11:40.429 --> 00:11:43.070
is the blood that maketh an atonement for the

00:11:43.070 --> 00:11:50.710
soul. But what about the bread? The partaking

00:11:50.710 --> 00:11:55.110
of the bread every time the bread is served.

00:11:58.210 --> 00:12:06.600
It should mean a beautiful miracle service. The

00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:11.320
healing for the body, partaking of the bread

00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.460
has nothing to do with the soul, the forgiveness

00:12:15.460 --> 00:12:23.799
of sins. The whole man was included in the atonement.

00:12:25.580 --> 00:12:28.759
That's the reason Isaiah in the 53rd chapter

00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:34.139
cried, wounded for our transgressions. bruised

00:12:34.139 --> 00:12:41.620
for our iniquities, and by His stripes we are

00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:49.879
healed. Yes, there is healing in the atonement.

00:12:51.100 --> 00:12:58.159
And Christ did die to give us healing not only

00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.700
for the spiritual, but also for the physical

00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:10.639
infirmities as well. Do you keep tabs on the

00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:15.559
ratio of physical and spiritual healings? May

00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:22.340
I answer this question by saying that over and

00:13:22.340 --> 00:13:27.960
over again, those who are healed physically will

00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:34.259
invariably say, Spiritual healing was even greater

00:13:34.259 --> 00:13:40.179
than my physical healing. Regardless of how great

00:13:40.179 --> 00:13:44.200
the physical healing may have been, invariably,

00:13:44.220 --> 00:13:49.740
they will say, but what happened to me spiritually,

00:13:49.940 --> 00:13:56.240
I have never been the same since. I do not believe

00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:04.450
that anyone can receive a physical healing without

00:14:04.450 --> 00:14:10.549
also receiving a spiritual healing. The two go

00:14:10.549 --> 00:14:14.690
hand in hand. There is never a miracle service.

00:14:15.929 --> 00:14:19.409
Never. But what sometimes right in the middle

00:14:19.409 --> 00:14:21.450
of that miracle service, all bodies are being

00:14:21.450 --> 00:14:24.750
healed, you'll find those who need salvation,

00:14:24.830 --> 00:14:29.039
sinners, come walking down the aisle. weeping

00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:32.059
and saying, I want to be born again, and yet

00:14:32.059 --> 00:14:35.500
nothing has been said about salvation or repentance

00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:40.200
or what we call an altar call. It's the moving

00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:43.919
of the Holy Ghost. And wherever you find the

00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:45.840
great moving and the great outpouring of the

00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:49.259
Holy Spirit, you'll find the two going hand in

00:14:49.259 --> 00:14:56.309
hand. The spiritual healing. which is the greatest

00:14:56.309 --> 00:15:00.029
of all healings, the greatest of all miracles.

00:15:00.870 --> 00:15:05.750
And then there'll also be the healing of the

00:15:05.750 --> 00:15:13.009
physical. What is your concept of illness? That's

00:15:13.009 --> 00:15:20.830
question number 33. Now let me see. How best

00:15:20.830 --> 00:15:26.470
can I answer that? Well, maybe by telling you

00:15:26.470 --> 00:15:29.830
of a little boy who had eaten too many green

00:15:29.830 --> 00:15:36.570
apples. And little boys just love green apples.

00:15:37.429 --> 00:15:39.990
There's so many little boys and green apples.

00:15:41.049 --> 00:15:45.529
And this little boy just ate too many. And he

00:15:45.529 --> 00:15:51.490
came to his mother just deathly sick. Oh, he

00:15:51.490 --> 00:15:57.580
said, Mom. I'm so sick. And the mother said,

00:15:57.899 --> 00:16:03.519
oh, honey, it's all in your mind. You just think

00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:08.320
you're sick. And the kid looked up and he said,

00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:14.200
but mama, I have inside information. I'm sick.

00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:18.100
And when a little boy goes vomiting all over

00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:20.159
the place, having eaten too many green apples,

00:16:20.259 --> 00:16:22.720
I'm telling you something, it isn't just his

00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:27.059
imagination. It isn't just a mental attitude.

00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:35.179
That kid is sick. I know why the question was

00:16:35.179 --> 00:16:40.899
asked. Because so very often, there are those

00:16:40.899 --> 00:16:44.139
who like to say that healings are psychosomatic.

00:16:45.450 --> 00:16:50.230
That is all in the mind. The healing of cancer

00:16:50.230 --> 00:16:54.730
could not be psychosomatic. The lengthening of

00:16:54.730 --> 00:16:59.889
a limb could not be psychosomatic. The giving

00:16:59.889 --> 00:17:05.910
of sight to an eye could not possibly be psychosomatic.

00:17:07.869 --> 00:17:15.690
Let's just stop trying to... Close our eyes to

00:17:15.690 --> 00:17:19.130
the reality of the power of God. Let's accept

00:17:19.130 --> 00:17:27.569
God for what He really is. Let's stop trying

00:17:27.569 --> 00:17:33.789
to play games with God. Let's accept God and

00:17:33.789 --> 00:17:41.509
His Word at face value. You may not need a miracle

00:17:41.509 --> 00:17:48.440
today. But there may come a time when you will

00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:56.359
need that miracle. Accept God's promises at face

00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:04.160
value. Well, here comes question number 34. To

00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.700
what extent is individual health related to social

00:18:07.700 --> 00:18:13.559
or cosmic health? Does our social mindset have

00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:16.079
much to do with the physical health of individuals?

00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:22.480
Well, that too is a most important question.

00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:25.480
All of these questions are vitally important

00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:33.119
and they're right down to where we live. May

00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:36.599
I say that the greatest enemy that a human being

00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:41.430
can take into his life is fear? It's just like

00:18:41.430 --> 00:18:51.549
that. If you are able to conquer that enemy of

00:18:51.549 --> 00:18:59.269
fear, you have gone a long way to bringing health

00:18:59.269 --> 00:19:05.690
to a physical body. Life is not built for negative

00:19:05.690 --> 00:19:09.940
achievement. It's... built for positive contribution,

00:19:10.180 --> 00:19:18.119
for outgoing love. And it's just like that. You

00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:19.900
can never get rid of your own troubles unless

00:19:19.900 --> 00:19:21.599
you take upon yourself the troubles of others.

00:19:22.500 --> 00:19:24.960
When you find yourself oppressed by melancholy,

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.940
the best way is to go out and find something

00:19:27.940 --> 00:19:32.660
kind to do to somebody else. For when you dig

00:19:32.660 --> 00:19:35.019
a man out of trouble, the hole which is left

00:19:36.589 --> 00:19:40.150
is the grave where you bury your own troubles,

00:19:40.289 --> 00:19:45.190
your own sorrows. Go out each day and do something

00:19:45.190 --> 00:19:51.170
that nobody but a Christian would do. And it

00:19:51.170 --> 00:19:55.369
isn't long before you'll forget about your own

00:19:55.369 --> 00:19:59.369
troubles. You'll forget about your own aches.

00:20:00.289 --> 00:20:07.849
You'll forget about your own pains. where the

00:20:07.849 --> 00:20:14.890
mind enters into it. I really believe that one

00:20:14.890 --> 00:20:22.029
can talk themselves into being sick. A little

00:20:22.029 --> 00:20:27.809
pain, you continue dwelling on the fact that

00:20:27.809 --> 00:20:31.890
you're suffering. It's amazing how that pain

00:20:31.890 --> 00:20:36.109
will increase. I can always remember Papa saying,

00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:43.079
Something. It wasn't scientific. You won't find

00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:48.339
it in the doctor's manual. But I'll tell you,

00:20:48.380 --> 00:20:53.279
it's just good common sense. He used to say,

00:20:53.299 --> 00:20:58.799
oh, just go out and work it off. And the best

00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:05.279
medicine in the world is hard work. Instead of

00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:09.619
running off and getting a prescription, we've

00:21:09.619 --> 00:21:13.539
got pills for everything. We got pills for every

00:21:13.539 --> 00:21:18.920
part of the body. Oh, we're pill to death these

00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:23.940
days. We're capsule to death these days. Sometimes

00:21:23.940 --> 00:21:28.240
I wish I could put faith in the capsule and send

00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:33.099
it out to millions of people. I'll tell you what

00:21:33.099 --> 00:21:37.529
to do. Instead of going and taking a pill for

00:21:37.529 --> 00:21:43.589
this, a pep pill and a nerve pill and a tranquilizer

00:21:43.589 --> 00:21:51.490
and another aspirin and another Anacin, why don't

00:21:51.490 --> 00:21:57.089
you just start working it off? It's the best

00:21:57.089 --> 00:22:02.359
medicine I know anything about. The right mental

00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:07.599
attitude is glorious. Remember something. Don't

00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:09.740
wait for some miracle to be performed on you

00:22:09.740 --> 00:22:13.299
from without. Lifting you above your fears and

00:22:13.299 --> 00:22:16.779
your doubts and your self -centeredness. You

00:22:16.779 --> 00:22:21.200
help God from within by turning in outgoing love

00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:23.920
to others. And miraculously, your fears, your

00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:26.279
doubts, your self -centeredness will vanish.

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:31.599
The miracle starts from within. Not. from without.

00:22:32.220 --> 00:22:35.299
Throw your will on the side of outgoing love

00:22:35.299 --> 00:22:39.480
and all the healing resources of the universe

00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:46.079
will be behind you. Try it. It's the best medicine

00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:49.259
I know anything about.
