WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.379 Guess what we're going to do today. You're right. 00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:10.099 We're going to answer questions. And when I tell 00:00:10.099 --> 00:00:16.620 you that I am down to the 38th question, and 00:00:16.620 --> 00:00:19.679 we have only 42, and then I'm going to finish 00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:23.179 the whole thing today, you're going to say, oh, 00:00:23.620 --> 00:00:28.760 it's been so good. Can't we go on and have some 00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:34.960 more questions? Well, bless you, I don't want 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:39.100 everybody who's been listening to me to send 00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:44.820 in a big list of questions because I'm not going 00:00:44.820 --> 00:00:48.840 to answer all of them. I think I've done pretty 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.700 well in answering these that have been submitted 00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:57.070 to me by some very intellectual people. representing 00:00:57.070 --> 00:01:03.929 one of the most fundamental magazines, Christian 00:01:03.929 --> 00:01:10.670 magazines in the world today. The 38th question. 00:01:11.209 --> 00:01:15.569 To what extent are the healings you witness the 00:01:15.569 --> 00:01:20.230 result of the removal of a psychosomatic origin? 00:01:20.750 --> 00:01:28.640 Is anxiety the cause of most... Let me answer 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:33.060 the last part of this question first. Is anxiety 00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:39.239 the cause of most illnesses? Now, you will remember 00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:46.439 that in another question that was asked, I think 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.579 it was the 35th question, what is the most common 00:01:49.579 --> 00:01:52.879 ailment that people come to you with? And I answered 00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.060 that question by saying cancer. Now, everyone 00:01:57.060 --> 00:02:02.719 knows that cancer is not psychosomatic. It couldn't 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:10.520 be. If cancer was the result of a psychosomatic 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:15.680 person, then remember, we would not be spending 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.419 our billions and billions of dollars for cancer 00:02:19.419 --> 00:02:24.759 research. We would just say cancer was psychosomatic, 00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:28.939 and there it is. And yet, I take it the truth 00:02:28.939 --> 00:02:31.479 that the most common ailment that people come 00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:37.860 to me with is cancer. And we have seen literally 00:02:37.860 --> 00:02:43.259 scores, and there will be doctors who will substantiate 00:02:43.259 --> 00:02:48.659 the healing of these people who have been healed 00:02:48.659 --> 00:02:54.680 from cancer. Do you understand what I'm trying 00:02:54.680 --> 00:03:02.500 to say? Therefore, those who are healed by the 00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:09.180 power of God are not merely those who have been 00:03:09.180 --> 00:03:17.219 healed as a result of something that was psychosomatic. 00:03:23.180 --> 00:03:33.919 I admit very freely that there are those who 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:44.039 are neurotic. I'm the first one to admit that 00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:49.560 there are those who need to be healed mentally 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:56.000 and spiritually. who come for physical healings. 00:03:56.379 --> 00:04:00.719 Who would know better than I because I deal with 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:05.680 literally thousands and thousands of people. 00:04:06.300 --> 00:04:12.379 That's my work. That's what I do. 16, 18 hours 00:04:12.379 --> 00:04:20.319 a day. And I've come to the conclusion that this 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:25.180 age knows almost everything about life except 00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:29.939 how to live it. And it's not enough to know about 00:04:29.939 --> 00:04:40.480 life. We must know how to live life. We've handed 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.000 the body over to the doctor. We've handed the 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:47.860 mind over to the psychiatrist. We've handed the 00:04:47.860 --> 00:04:52.139 soul over to the minister. treating these three 00:04:52.139 --> 00:04:58.740 parts as separate entities. And they're not separate. 00:05:00.620 --> 00:05:07.000 Life is a whole. Man is a trinity. Body, soul, 00:05:07.300 --> 00:05:15.759 and spirit. Life is a whole, and you cannot affect 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:26.529 one part without affecting... All three. I know 00:05:26.529 --> 00:05:29.689 that there are doctors who vary in their estimate 00:05:29.689 --> 00:05:34.810 of the percentage of people who pass on mental 00:05:34.810 --> 00:05:39.269 and spiritual sicknesses to their bodies. And 00:05:39.269 --> 00:05:42.350 one can. It's the easiest thing in the world 00:05:42.350 --> 00:05:49.910 to pass on a mental sickness to your body. or 00:05:49.910 --> 00:05:56.389 a spiritual sickness to the body. A doctor here 00:05:56.389 --> 00:06:00.029 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has contacted me 00:06:00.029 --> 00:06:04.730 very often. He's come up to the office to see 00:06:04.730 --> 00:06:08.050 me. And he said, you know, Catherine Kuhlman, 00:06:08.110 --> 00:06:13.029 I'm deeply interested in that which you teach. 00:06:15.790 --> 00:06:19.129 I have been listening very closely. I've been 00:06:19.129 --> 00:06:24.250 watching the ministry very closely. And I would 00:06:24.250 --> 00:06:30.930 like to bring into my practice as a doctor that 00:06:30.930 --> 00:06:37.149 which you give as a minister. For he said the 00:06:37.149 --> 00:06:44.149 combination of both would make for a perfect 00:06:44.149 --> 00:06:53.199 practice. And it's just like that. They tell 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:57.759 me that in a group of John Hopkins doctors, one 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:01.920 psychiatrist said that 40 % of the cases that 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:05.259 come to their clinic were mental and spiritual 00:07:05.259 --> 00:07:12.420 in origin. And I believe that the percentage 00:07:12.420 --> 00:07:18.189 is just like that. You understand something? 00:07:19.129 --> 00:07:25.129 Man was made to give himself to a higher power 00:07:25.129 --> 00:07:30.790 than himself. And if you have not given yourself 00:07:30.790 --> 00:07:39.870 to a higher power than yourself, then you are 00:07:39.870 --> 00:07:41.850 going to find that you're going to be mastered 00:07:41.850 --> 00:07:47.000 by things, by circumstances. You see, that's 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:48.819 the reason a Christian need never go down in 00:07:48.819 --> 00:07:56.639 defeat. Never. No man, no woman need ever go 00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:58.959 down in defeat or be defeated on a single score 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:02.639 if his faith and his confidence is in God, for 00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:06.259 God knows no such thing as defeat, and a Christian 00:08:06.259 --> 00:08:10.100 knows where to go and what to do in his hour 00:08:10.100 --> 00:08:20.819 of disappointment, in that hour of tragedy. I'm 00:08:20.819 --> 00:08:26.240 not going to have anything master me is one of 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.120 the greatest phrases declaring a life purpose 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:38.860 that has ever been uttered. The man who was completely 00:08:38.860 --> 00:08:43.899 mastered by the will of God said that he would 00:08:43.899 --> 00:08:52.169 not be mastered by anything. If you are completely 00:08:52.169 --> 00:08:58.669 mastered by the will of God, you will not be 00:08:58.669 --> 00:09:03.909 defeated in the hour of sickness, in the hour 00:09:03.909 --> 00:09:08.149 of mental strain, in the hour of disappointment, 00:09:08.529 --> 00:09:13.769 in the hour of temptation. For you and I are 00:09:13.769 --> 00:09:17.730 not only conquerors, we're more than conquerors 00:09:17.730 --> 00:09:22.909 to Christ who loved us. And if you're not mastered 00:09:22.909 --> 00:09:26.610 by God, you'll be mastered by things, by yourself, 00:09:26.929 --> 00:09:33.970 by people, by circumstances, by the world. When 00:09:33.970 --> 00:09:36.929 death comes, when sorrow comes, when disappointments 00:09:36.929 --> 00:09:44.190 come, you'll be mastered by these things. Some 00:09:44.190 --> 00:09:48.809 are mastered by the world. Some are mastered 00:09:48.809 --> 00:09:52.529 by circumstances. It's usually a very slow and 00:09:52.529 --> 00:09:56.470 silent process. We scarcely know what is happening. 00:10:00.409 --> 00:10:07.210 But these things do happen. And it isn't long 00:10:07.210 --> 00:10:19.529 before we find that we are sick in body. and 00:10:19.529 --> 00:10:25.669 we wonder how it ever happened. That's why, you 00:10:25.669 --> 00:10:33.549 see, it's more than just a miracle service in 00:10:33.549 --> 00:10:38.450 the healing of a sick body. If, with the gospel 00:10:38.450 --> 00:10:42.350 of the Lord Jesus Christ, I can get through to 00:10:42.350 --> 00:10:48.399 the mind of that individual, And allow him to 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:56.480 see that God is still God Almighty. Bigger than 00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:04.779 his sorrow. Greater than his heartbreak. God 00:11:04.779 --> 00:11:10.519 Almighty. Greater than the circumstances under 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:15.110 which he has to live and labor. and that he does 00:11:15.110 --> 00:11:20.909 not have to go down in defeat. Jesus has given 00:11:20.909 --> 00:11:25.269 to him and made possible to him all the necessary 00:11:25.269 --> 00:11:29.230 resources. All these things are at his disposal 00:11:29.230 --> 00:11:33.049 and that he can live an abundant and victorious 00:11:33.049 --> 00:11:39.350 Christian life. If I can get through to that 00:11:39.350 --> 00:11:43.659 individual, through to his mind, For as a man 00:11:43.659 --> 00:11:48.120 thinketh, so is he that's scriptural. Jesus himself 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:57.000 said it. As a man thinketh, so is he. If you 00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:02.120 think defeat, you'll be defeated. If you think 00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:05.279 discouragement, you'll be a discouraged person. 00:12:07.220 --> 00:12:13.629 You can't think pain without feeling pain. You 00:12:13.629 --> 00:12:21.309 can't think sickness without being sick. It all 00:12:21.309 --> 00:12:31.730 goes together. Sure. Oh, don't go down in defeat. 00:12:33.409 --> 00:12:43.370 Don't be a person who is beaten. God is still 00:12:43.370 --> 00:12:49.929 God Almighty. The God of Abraham is still our 00:12:49.929 --> 00:12:52.769 God. The God of Elijah is still our God. The 00:12:52.769 --> 00:12:58.970 God who made the iron to swim is still God Almighty. 00:12:59.350 --> 00:13:03.470 The God who sent the water from the rock. The 00:13:03.470 --> 00:13:06.789 manna from heaven. The God who supplied the little 00:13:06.789 --> 00:13:14.429 widow with her meal and her oil. is still God 00:13:14.429 --> 00:13:20.629 Almighty. And there's no uncertainty about that. 00:13:21.870 --> 00:13:30.149 Don't be mastered by things. Be mastered by God. 00:13:30.769 --> 00:13:34.429 And it'll not be long before you'll find that 00:13:34.429 --> 00:13:38.929 you're living an abundant and victorious Christian 00:13:38.929 --> 00:13:46.500 life. And then when afflictions do come, and 00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:49.740 no human being is immune when it comes to diseases 00:13:49.740 --> 00:13:54.399 and affliction, no human body is immune from 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:59.899 cancer. Know that. I believe in divine healing. 00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:03.059 I preach divine healing. I believe in the power 00:14:03.059 --> 00:14:06.620 of God to heal sick bodies. But in... Despite 00:14:06.620 --> 00:14:10.539 all of this, my own physical body is not immune 00:14:10.539 --> 00:14:14.860 to cancer. I think of that stuff very often. 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:19.080 My own physical body, I'm still in the flesh. 00:14:19.340 --> 00:14:23.980 This mortal has not yet put on immortality. This 00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:26.940 which is corruption has not yet put on incorruption. 00:14:27.220 --> 00:14:33.960 I'm still a part of humanity. I'm still living 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:43.470 in the flesh. Sickness may come to my body. But 00:14:43.470 --> 00:14:51.230 when it does, there is a Heavenly Father. There 00:14:51.230 --> 00:14:58.809 is a God to whom I can go. All -powerful, I need 00:14:58.809 --> 00:15:04.629 not go down in defeat. And a million times I 00:15:04.629 --> 00:15:09.529 wonder what people do. in an hour of tragedy 00:15:09.529 --> 00:15:20.730 who do not have a simple confidence in God Almighty. 00:15:23.490 --> 00:15:34.450 They're defeated. They're beaten. Many give themselves 00:15:34.450 --> 00:15:42.879 to inward self -pity. We are not only conquerors, 00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:50.600 we are more than conquerors. In the face of tragedy, 00:15:50.919 --> 00:16:06.679 seemingly defeat, and even in affliction. The 00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:12.779 39th Question, how much knowledge do you have 00:16:12.779 --> 00:16:19.419 of medicine and therapeutic science? Absolutely 00:16:19.419 --> 00:16:28.480 none. Now that's being perfectly honest. I have 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:37.519 practically no knowledge of medicine and therapeutic 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:44.720 science. That's the reason Dr. Kerr, a well -known 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:51.360 doctor, was in one of our miracle services. And 00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:54.139 so many people doing that service were being 00:16:54.139 --> 00:16:57.879 healed of arthritis. It was one of the very first 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:02.659 services he had ever attended. At the close of 00:17:02.659 --> 00:17:07.000 that miracle service, he went to... my Maggie, 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:09.599 and said, may I please ask you just one question? 00:17:11.059 --> 00:17:17.140 Does Catherine Kuhlman realize that when it comes 00:17:17.140 --> 00:17:23.200 to arthritis, we doctors can give relief, we 00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.160 can tell what the patient can do for relief, 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:33.019 but there is no cure for arthritis? He said, 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:36.700 I asked the question because... So many were 00:17:36.700 --> 00:17:40.839 healed today. One after another being healed 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:43.539 of arthritis. And Catherine Kuhlman takes these 00:17:43.539 --> 00:17:46.700 things so lightly and says, oh, that's wonderful. 00:17:48.660 --> 00:17:53.099 He said, of everything that I've seen, the healing 00:17:53.099 --> 00:17:56.279 from arthritis were the greatest miracles because 00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:01.640 as a physician, I know there's no cure. And when 00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:04.380 these people say, They've had arthritis throughout 00:18:04.380 --> 00:18:07.000 their entire body for 20 years, 15 years, and 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:12.039 suddenly they're healed instantaneously. He said, 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:18.119 that has to be supernatural. Though I know practically 00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:21.680 nothing regarding medicine or therapeutic science, 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.579 that's the reason I have doctors on the platform. 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:31.960 And often, after a person has been healed, I... 00:18:32.109 --> 00:18:35.369 Ask members of the medical profession to please 00:18:35.369 --> 00:18:40.910 step forward and examine the one who's just been 00:18:40.910 --> 00:18:46.529 healed. And the conversation is between the one 00:18:46.529 --> 00:18:52.430 who's just been healed and the doctor. For the 00:18:52.430 --> 00:18:56.349 doctor understands the case better than I do. 00:18:58.279 --> 00:19:01.960 I enjoy my association with the medical profession. 00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:09.559 I'm just a Christian, believing that there is 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:14.259 no limit to the power of God. What do you regard 00:19:14.259 --> 00:19:20.980 as the ultimate goal of your ministry? May I 00:19:20.980 --> 00:19:26.460 go a little further? The purpose of my ministry. 00:19:29.450 --> 00:19:34.829 is the salvation of the soul. We have been discussing 00:19:34.829 --> 00:19:40.849 miracles, physical healings. But remember something. 00:19:41.230 --> 00:19:47.589 The greatest miracle a human being can know is 00:19:47.589 --> 00:19:51.490 the transformation of a life. Divine healing 00:19:51.490 --> 00:20:01.529 is so secondary. Please believe me. The salvation 00:20:01.529 --> 00:20:07.430 of a soul, the new birth experience, is the greatest 00:20:07.430 --> 00:20:14.170 miracle a human being can know. How do you understand 00:20:14.170 --> 00:20:16.609 the apparent desire of Jesus and the disciples 00:20:16.609 --> 00:20:21.150 not to publicize certain healings is the 41st 00:20:21.150 --> 00:20:24.549 question. I cannot give you the answer. I do 00:20:24.549 --> 00:20:32.309 not know what was in the mind of Jesus. There 00:20:32.309 --> 00:20:38.009 have been literally scores of opinions regarding 00:20:38.009 --> 00:20:43.950 the answer to this question. I do not know what 00:20:43.950 --> 00:20:48.490 was in the mind of Jesus. One day I'll ask him. 00:20:49.750 --> 00:20:55.809 Then I'll let you know. The last question. Do 00:20:55.809 --> 00:20:58.089 you have anything special you would like to say? 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:13.579 to Christianity today. Just one. Believe God 00:21:13.579 --> 00:21:22.339 to the point of action. Remembering always that 00:21:22.339 --> 00:21:27.099 the only limit to the power of God lies within 00:21:27.099 --> 00:21:32.230 you as an individual. And to the church, may 00:21:32.230 --> 00:21:39.170 I say, no nation is greater or stronger than 00:21:39.170 --> 00:21:44.970 its spiritual forces. And the church today has 00:21:44.970 --> 00:21:47.230 a great responsibility.
