Kathryn Kuhlman preaching on 'Knowing the Holy Spirit' at Oral Roberts University in 1972 transcript

[Music] this building yesterday was filled with human beings the largest crowd that's ever been in it since it was opened plus other rooms that were filled with closed-circuit television and we saw the wonderful power of the Living Christ Kathryn Kuhlman was the first to be awarded an honorary Doctorate from this university because we we felt that the first one should go to someone in the ministry of healing which is reflected in the background and founding and purpose of the university and we wanted one we felt best exemplified in the now what we believe to be the healing ministry of our Lord and she considered that our earnest desire she and Dino to be with us this morning she has to catch a flight shortly after a chapel unless the Lord would just in a way she has to catch a flight right after a chaplain and we understand all those things that she's riding with the Lord and I'm very envious this morning though and I want to confess that particular sin I reserved the others to my private devotions the tremendous hug and and approbation and that Carlton got a minute ago it's just a little more than I could take Carlton are we we would like to look you over we didn't think you were that great stand up again I want you to see Carlton I assure you though we're gonna have a lot more respect for you but you can do better [Music] without further ado the one we love so much and Jesus is called dr.

fear Jesus the presence of the Holy Spirit is so wonderful in this place of worship we're here because we love there isn't one person in this system this morning who does not love you I pray that you'll just speak to our hearts not one young person here seeing Kathryn Kuhlman not one but please were so hungry we're hungry for more there's so much more if only we knew how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit you have so much for each of us if we only knew how to cooperate with the Holy Ghost peaches today for Jesus sake amen I shall try very hard to stay within the time limit I promise you because I know that that you you have to get back to classes and I I'll do my best but I want to talk to you just for my heart remember I'm not bringing you a sermon this morning know that and do not look upon me as a minister as I speak to you you see I can only give you my own personal experience no one can give to anyone else any more than they've experienced themselves always remember that and just in a very simple way I'll give you my own personal experience regarding the Holy Spirit my first my very first association with the Holy Spirit was in a different Methodist Church in Concordia Missouri if only you could know from whence I've come Concordia I don't think is on the map it's a small not more than 1,200 population mama was Methodist papa was Baptists neither one worked too hard at it and one Sunday morning and it says real to me this was my very first contact with the Holy Spirit and I didn't realize it one Sunday morning sitting with mama in that little Methodist Church I don't think the church holds any more than a hundred people we were sitting there it was time for the last song and I was holding the old-fashioned Methodist hymnal whether anyone has ever been converted in that church before us since I'll never know but when the last song was being sung and I was holding that old-fashioned Methodist hymnal in my hand I was only 14 years of age something happened to me I cannot tell you one word the preacher said and not one but I only know that in that a moment the Holy Spirit came upon me I did not recognize I did not even know there was such a thing as the Holy Spirit and I began to shake I began to tremble so much so I had to leave him know down in the pew and I knew I had to do something I saw myself as I really was a sinner in the sight of God and I did something I laid that hymnal down and I did the only thing that I knew what to do I'd seen them picking church members and I slipped forward and sat down in the first pew right in the corner and wept this was my conversion this was my first contact with the Holy Spirit I began to weep and I remember one of the old sisters came to me and brought me a handkerchief she said okay and she says don't cry you and I both know that you've been such a good little girl we both knew she was lying but in that moment something happened to me that was the new birth experience and it was so real that I've never doubted it since never I believe that when you're really born again there's a definite place of the definite time and you know it and his spirit the Holy Spirit will bear witness with your spirit the as from death and the life and it's been that spiritual experience it's been my new birth experience that's been so real but in that moment I had my first contact with the Holocaust it was later it was I was still in my teens in Joliet Illinois I can go to the place of its Spearin Amy the second floor of a store building but I had gone out to preach the gospel with morresy of the knowledge and all I could preach of course was the new birth experience it was all that I knew I'd read the second floor of a store building in Joliet I was preaching the best that I knew salvation it was all that I knew one night had given an older call there those who came forward to be born again but one linger Isabel Drake I'll never forget that young lady a teacher commuting from Joliet to Chicago everyone had gone we turned out all the lights to save electricity except just two were burning she had remained there after the altar pray I took my place where the sight of her mother there were not two more than three or four of us left when suddenly this is real at that moment it happened here that a moment that one who knew absolutely nothing about the Holy Spirit that one who knew absolutely nothing about the baptism of the Holy Spirit that one who had never heard anyone speak in an unknown tongue never look she raised both hands and she began to sing I suppose beautiful thing I am her voice was as clear the bell heta was a language that was so beautiful and so wonderful she reached high C it was absolutely perfection before God I've never heard such singing above his sitting there nurse and I darkness class my hand and she said Catherine that's not my daughter my daughter can't even carry a tune [Music] we sat there all under Gloria the Lord was on that face perhaps for 15 minutes or more the perfection of her boys and the perfection of the sound that music hi I was learning I was seeing the Holy Spirit I was witnessing something I had never known before and after 15 minutes or more I cannot tell you how long I had seen one receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit [Music] remember something I believe in the baptism of the holy spirit with every atom I might be he is with you but there is an experience when he comes in and he fills that vessel of yours literally and always remember that when the Holy Spirit does it it is absolute perfection know that if you forget anything if you forget everything that I say in this service this morning God is perfect absolute perfection Jesus Christ is absolute perfection I was so new protection when it comes to this my teeth third person the Trinity he is absolute perfect give anything in the war if I could just bare my soul to you and get you deceased something that is so [Music] I believe in the baptism the Holy Spirit but beloved when he speaks it will be absolute perfection it will not be babbling a lot of things that are called the baptism the Holy Spirit a lot of things that's called speaking in an unknown tongue is not the Holy Spirit it is a discredit to the one who is perfection the Holy Spirit is not ignorant well it's the Holy Spirit is is a perfect language well living the most important hour we're living in an hour where we speak of the great charismatic movement but we're living in a very dangerous our old so much that is that pivoted to the Holy Spirit is not the Holy Spirit and it's this thing that's bringing much reproach I'm something that is very build and very more and there are thousands who believe that just because they have uttered a few words in an unknown tongue that they have been filled with the Holy Spirit there are thousands were professing to have been filled with the Holy Spirit to have received the baptism the Holy Spirit who have never been filled with the Holy Ghost who've never received the baptism the Holy Spirit you do not teach one how to speak in an unknown tongue John the Baptist said watch something I indeed baptize there's one mightier than I Jing will baptize use the Holy Spirit and everything will receive I don't care what it is Norway's remember this everything that any one of us receives it's still Jesus who gives him everything I don't get what it is everything that we receive must come through Jesus he's the one he's the one he is even the giver of the baptism with the Holy Spirit know that I pray the Holy Spirit shall make this real to your heart in the sanctuary open odds I'd open minds [Music] my friend it is in the mechanics sometimes I think we turn to the mechanics we get our minds so filled with the mechanics we've lost sight I saw the other day in Portland Oregon a little Catholic sister who knew absolutely nothing about the mechanics nothing she was from the monastery of the precious blood she had never seen anyone filled with the Holy Spirit never she was inhabited in the power of God was following with Eunice technologies and she came to the stage and very timidly she said I've just been here and I said Oh sister death will run therefore I'm so glad and then she turned around a girl she took no more than about three steps when she turned again to me and very timidly she whispered I'm in that moment I give that toucher I give not brain for in that moment she was slain by the power of God lying prostrate under the power of God before she ever hit the floor no one had told her the mechanics no one had taught her but geez through the personal holy spirit it was feeling there oh holy huh came over that Brown remember something noise is not the sign of power I always know that and in that moment 5,000 hearts did beat there's one and all you could hear was just those people and that's it got a toy oh holy her as a very angels they've been long and that Catholic sister who'd never been taught how but it was the most natural thing in the world that she surrendered herself to you and the Holy Spirit it was feeling her and from those lips came by heaven named language it was beautiful so beautiful you felt like beating off the shoes from off your feet you were standing in the presence of the Most High you recognized the perfection of the Holy Ghost I received a divine revelation that I had never received before and that's the reason my message to you this morning is so important because things are happening young people things are happening and they're having so quickly that's the reason I feel is so important that you might understand that he might use you in these closing moments in this dispensation I had said for a long time and I believe is every out of my being I believe I remember something in this heart of great restoration everything that happened in the early church is being restored to the church now everything and it's happening so very quickly it's happening so fast I believe that this is a very lasting youth generation before the Great Tribulation I believe that I've got to believe it knowing the word of prophecy as I do this is the last youth the generation before the Great Tribulation sitting here in this assembly this Monday morning face it face facts face God face reality face truth new young people sitting here or the last youth generation in this dispensation I believe it and I just ate my very life but I'm talking to him what we're saying to you is a vitally important and you've got to do something about it but to do something about it how you believe this last hour all the fruits all the gifts of the spirit to be restored to the church there were miracle services with every person present it doesn't say how many were present in the service but all were healed by the power of God as that precious Catholic sister was being filled with the Holy Spirit and I stood there only a couple feet from her I was unaware of those hurt in the crowd absolutely unaware I received a spiritual revelation sometimes I will never that was just for me the day of Pentecost they were all filled with the Holy Ghost the hour is at hand my friend when there will be times even as a moment such as there when there will be such oneness in the spirit but the whole ego will come upon those in the assembly those who know absolutely nothing about the holy spirit and great ways of growth will come upon them and every person present will be filled with the Holy Spirit and received the baptists of the Holy Spirit I believe that I want you to see something that's vitally important as many as are led by the spirit I'll just bare my soul to you when one is left it means that one follows you say to me how to know and remember something I do not believe that God has given me something special young people's as God is my judge I tell you what I really believe God has not given to me one thing that he will not give to any one of you young people in this place if you pay the price I'm not special to him there is a one thing that he's done for me they'll all not do for you there isn't a young man there isn't a young woman in this assembly this morning but what God will use you in exactly the same way he'll give to you absolutely everything that he's given to me I would like I would to tell you the price is cheap [Music] everybody's out for a bargain these days but God has no bargains young people I would lie to you if I were to tell you that it comes cheap you see me walk out of there on stage and you all you see is the glamour of it and it looks so glamorous there's a price and it depends on what you want most to spacefacts we're living the generation where this generation doesn't want to face facts I'm talking to young people who do not want to face back sometimes I think is the hardest thing in the world to get young people these days to face facts but when you're dealing with the spirit it's the most important thing in the world and you face the truth and face back when you walk out on that stage I know what David meant when he said take not thy Holy Spirit from me I probably know better than anyone else in this place what he meant and how he felt when he cried out take not thy Holy Spirit rob me [Music] I'm not afraid of Satan I can use the same weapon on Satan that Jesus used it is written I can face Satan I can face all the forces of hell and use the same weapon on him that Jesus did I fear no man but one fear lest I grieve the Holy Spirit that's just anointing shall leave you don't know young people you don't know in this ministry you only see the glamour in this ministry yesterday the thousands in this arena only saw the miracles and they saw the glory but very few of them could see the price that was paid before those miracles took place take not her thy Holy Spirit from me he can take everything that I've got he could strip me of everything I thought leaving me but the clothing to cover my body leaving me but the shoes on my peach and I'm willing to go out there and live on bread that watered the rest of my life so help me God I'll reach it if I have to preach it from the street corner but take not thy Holy Spirit from me if I knew the Holy Spirit had been grieved I would never if I knew the Holy Ghost and he parted from me I would never again walk out on the stage I would never go through the fall I would never make a pretence of the thing put in that hour I would be the most ordinary person that ever lived and nothing would happen you can say the same words you can go through the same form you can do the same thing but the secret of power is the Holy Ghost [Music] [Applause] [Music] the young people to whom I'm talking to this very hour so positive and itches millions can endure you you're probably the ending of more young people that you can possibly realize but there's still something more it's more than teaching it's something that's personal [Music] sitting there I'll ask one question what do you want most in life it has to come first these facts face yourself look yourself directly in the face maybe you don't desire what I've been talking about maybe that isn't your desire all maybe it is the other things in life that you want more that you feel more desirable I could mail if I had anything less than I had I could leave I would wontedly that fellowship that Paul was talking about in that communion with the Holy Spirit I couldn't live without it I couldn't everything else is so worthless nothing else really matters but maybe you don't want it maybe you don't want the best that God has fallen there are other things that are more important to you butthole when once taste when one should experience a white one if no one lives like the how the holy spirit take your body you ask me why I am not weary and body after five hours why I am is refresh that's though I'd had five hours of rest it's because Kathryn Kuhlman hasn't done it I've only stood there and I've lost the Holy Ghost to it I love it have been a great spectator really it's been my privilege to be a spectator to see what the Holy Spirit is doing I watched him empty wheelchairs I think thrilled for that person over here I'm thrilled when I see him as he's opened that ear why shouldn't I be refreshed I'm not doing it I have nothing to do with her whatsoever Kathryn Kuhlman hasn't entered in to the picture when we do it we fall apart it's hard work when we do it without the Holy Spirit and the thing is II bettin ask the golden vessels and he doesn't ask you this that's the glory of it he just asks for you in this no talent I was born without anything I had no talent that's the reason probably it was easy for me to say take nothing and use for some of you it may be at the dog a little hard to die [Music] that process there without exception you're faced with a cross your cross we're gonna do about it when your placetype cross remember is what you want most I can't make that decision for you I made my own decision I made it I made my decision I made and I'm glad that I made it it may look so hard to you it costs much but what do you want most that's the question anything else is temporary but what I'm talking about is eternal what did you do something I want everyone to be young people you better pace it activates I had the basement you can say Kathryn Kuhlman I'm willing to pay that price think it think it over this is before God so often you know we sing it I surrender until it has almost become a cliche sometimes we go through so much this ceremony but it doesn't mean it's a death is serious yeah yeah we don't like the face there I want every young person before God remember he has not given me one thing that he won't give you if y'all really I want you to do something [Music] we get honest before God but also remember there are young people do who I'm talking to this Monday morning Chapel if he can take a gamma Libyan a twenty-year-old Bolivian and take that gun Bolivian eight months ago never had the privileges of an or you a gun Bolivian who knew absolutely nothing about the new birth experience a young Libyan who knew about the Holy Ghost a young millennion who never had the privileges from the teaching of the world that new young people have this morning if he can take a young Libyan who came to the United States and registered as a pre-med student and government bolivian and then one of the services was born again a month later standing on a folding chair preaching from the overflow crowd on the outside and while he was telling this crowd in broken english back which had happened to him a month before his wonderful salvation if the holy ghost will take a young bolivian and give him the gift of healing he's standing on that folding chair and sent him back again to bolivia and three months later the president of bolivia was born again and the wife of the president of bolivia was healed by the power of the holy ghost and he is now preaching to over seventy thousand people at a time if God do that with a twenty-year-old Bolivian sitting there this moment little do you know and God will do for you if you'll face that cross and die all right face it just face it I want every young man and every young woman this place will say I'm willing to face my cross and die on it for more than anything else I want the Holy Ghost to use me I want that boy that night itself would you come down here and stay and I'm gonna pray bye [Music] the angels are bending long the Angels bending like the angels ending low Oh heaven is bending low God the Father is please Jesus is so please Jesus is so clean the

hands up living scissor to token of surrender I do Lord I do I dig the grave right now I die this a moment [Music] oh the moon moving of the Holy Spirit just now and there was the sound of a mighty rushing wind the sound of a mighty rushing wind somehow we hear the sound that's a mighty rushing with high heard did Young's hand high heard hallelujah sake [Music] breathe upon our waiting [Music] the pod as we agree the end of the very person in presence of the police this moment that one divine revelation there shall be a calm sea there she shall be that death the cell [Music] ah later burn out to that selfishness [Music] where we no longer will say sum of cells and some [Music] but in this moment we shall say none [Music] no nutshell Mary dies this moment bill dies bizarre Tom dies Helen dies we're having a funeral service hallelujah what a glorious funeral service that's marvelous for every kindness of depth there's that glorious power of the Holy Ghost that comes upon that one hallelujah there's someone else that's risen up to shake the world for God not you but the Holy Ghost through you not to you but the Holy Ghost the power of the Holy Spirit the same one Oh hallelujah a glorious good enough service they do and standing there you don't know what your future is you don't be getting to know for the glorious future is yours you don't begin to know you don't begin to know you don't begin to know I think the Holy Spirit is saying these words it is not I who lives but Christ who lives in me [Music] that's what she said to me this morning my own death and letting the Holy Spirit do it all so that it is not I who lives but Christ who lives in me and she was saying that every one of us has to be led by the Spirit in the way he wants us led not to be her or me or someone else but to be your own identity in your own field not living in yourself but Christ living in you and you're letting the Holy Spirit do it you're doing it the only as the Spirit does it I felt in my heart that should the Lord direct Kathryn Kuhlman to come and visit us that he would speak to us do you felt like do you feel like the Spirit has said something to your heart and what we tried to do what Katherine tries to do I see her trying to do it and I know I tried to do it and what I try to do and what she trying to do is we're trying to get people's minds off of us so that we can merely be an instrument and nothing else because we know we're nothing else you know people like to praise people more than they like to praise God they'd rather give you credit for something they give me credit for something than to give Jesus credit for it and you've heard me say so many times I'd like to take credit being a human but there's nobody can take credit for building this school but the Holy Spirit and nobody can take credit for what you're doing but the Holy Spirit and I thought now Lord through our professors our instructors our staff and our students as we really get with our subjects our courses as we really get with it and let the spirit move through us and do it through us as we cooperate with him then we will produce something that will touch the world but above all the Spirit will do it through you as an individual and then do it with us all will become a body I had the athletes heavy on my heart this morning our athletes are out in front to the extent that they're seen by more people you see the difference they're seen as a team by more people and I want everybody filled with the spirit but I had such a burden that every athlete and that whole department would be baptized in the spirit as Katharine said not merely not merely the speaking in tongues that's a means to an end it's a means to an end that's not an end in itself I hope you heard what she said but to be filled with the spirit then Catherine god bless you this morning god bless you and we are prey for you and we're pray that you will come back predators you'll come back the prey for your ministry the healing ministries is the ministry that will touch more people that'll break their hearts that will get them converted and bring the miracles the healing ministry is the Ministry of Jesus you read your New Testament that's all you're going to see is the Holy Spirit using Jesus to heal the people I know the church has got away from it and they're starting back they're starting back we don't have to argue it within your body that's not our argument the Holy Spirit doesn't need us to defend him no we'll just do what God calls us to do believe it with him Catherine who are you you could go on the airport I see a hand praise the Lord Richard would you like to come and say a word this morning no words uh well I it's it's much easier to feel and to say anything this morning I had this guidance that is when we do leave this building in a little while if we leave it it might not be well it might not be well to talk a lot to each other about this meeting but to talk to Jesus and as you go about your studies put something into them you've never put into them that's the discipline she was talking about the discipline she was talking about that and talked to Jesus you know you talk to him without any words you talk to him inside talk to him it's baby easy to discuss and and but I think the hardest thing to do is just talk to Jesus and she said that everything worthwhile cost something you don't get something for nothing as I say it's easy to talk with one another right now but I think it's hard to just talk to Jesus and I think maybe that's a good word to us today just as we do what we're supposed to do today in our studies and so forth just talk to the man tell him about yourself that commitment to Christ break off in his sin in your life stand up and break it off to hurt him or to anything or anybody just break it off just break off sin break it off and say Jesus I died today but I'm the new man and the new woman in Christ I think that's what she's trying to say to us she didn't tend to leave us dead but you can't be raised up until you do die we become the new man in Christ where's Katherine are you over are you going to come this way are you going to Airport what yeah well so we've just got Jesus then and in that more important in the world or Katherine or anybody in the world take your take your time about eating so we will not swamp the dining room maybe somebody won't even eat this meal maybe they will and I mean by that nobody tells you what to do on that your inner man speaks to you in the spirit whether you should eat the meal or not and if you don't eat it don't tell anybody whenever you do without a meal you don't broadcast it you don't tell it you wash your face and you look bright someone asked me how long I had fasted and I started the ministry and I told him I would never tell that to anybody the Lord would take away my blessing you never tell it let it alone and do it under Jesus Amen thank you Jesus [Music] yeah ah [Music] Debbie what was the spirit through Katherine saying to you this is telling me that it's time for me not to be concerned about what other people think when the Lord directs me to do something I'm supposed to just go on and do it and give him the glory for it yeah hey what were you saying to you just to keep my eyes on the Sun and my life will be bright and he'll be the only thing I want in this whole world president Roberts is to be used for his glory and too many things get in my way and I just have to claim it and and tell the devil to go to hell because Christ wants to use me well while she was talking I was thinking about the many things that I do and that are important for me to do I thought the Lord would give me wisdom and courage that I've never had before do you feel that way about your studies or things that you're doing yes and every aspect of my life definitely cuz right now it's very hard for us but I think the Lord is just showing us yes I think one of the tendencies this morning is to run from our books and run out to the end of the earth I think that that would break Catherine's heart because she wasn't talking about physically running or getting on a plane and going somewhere she's talking about right here where it's the hardest it's the hardest to be a Christian right here for you than it is anywhere in the world it's the hardest because you got to live with one another you've got to face your studies and they're not easy if they were easy you better run from them you don't want anything easy you can do better you don't want anything easy and if it's hard to stay here then that's what you do nothing is easy your cross now we all said we would die this morning and it's easier said than done and our death will be a death as long as we live Paul said I die daily you don't get it all done in one day because maybe in the morning you'll wake up so discouraged that you'll forget this whole service so you got to die again in the morning and rise again in the morning and face what you have to face that's mine for the Lord I claim it for the Lord I thought about the beauty and the wisdom of God I put it all together he made us put in a strong curriculum and a strong academic program I guess he knew the devil would laugh at us if we didn't but we're respected for it people respect us they respect you and me in this place because it's hard and tough here and they know it it had been easy for us to just dress any old way we want a dress dressed like a bunch of bums and people come here and say yeah bunch of bums they come here and they look at you and they look at me they look at their professors they stand a little taller and they say I wish I had the guts to do that everywhere I go the professors tell me I wish our school would do this young people all over America that we couldn't take this fall we didn't have any room in the dorms they almost got broken up and their parents would call me day and call me at midnight they'd call our Chairman they'd call our board members and say what can you do we couldn't do anything I'll tell you we're on the right track we're on the with all our thoughts we're on out of the right track and I'd like to see the strength of God you who are making these to make C's you're making C's to make bees you've been making bees to make A's and you athletes who have been given 1/2 or 3/4 you give 150 percent and you you that are in the various disciplines the drama the music the well the humanities and I hear how hard it is well thank God it's hard because God is not going to let you swing your mind up to nothing and be nothing he wants your mind to stretch and I told him other day how hard my work was and while she is preaching he is whispering to me I'm telling her to tell you oral if it's easy I didn't get a lot of folks to do it so he was fixed me up this morning so I'm ready to tackle I've been worried to death over the new Worship Center how we're going to get the money to build it and all that I was just looking at the wrong source then we're going to build it fast and we're good have been a lot of other things around
