KEY SCRIPTURE: Rom 12:1 KJV: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

This time we take a look at a woman who was mightily used by the Holy Ghost. Her story is one of the missed experiences, yet ultimately allowed Jesus to have total control of her life. Her level of impact was so strong that when she visited certain cities for a meeting on Sunday morning, many churches closed their Sunday morning service to attend her services. Some people listening to her on the radio were ‘slain by the Spirit’, that is they fell under the power of the Spirit. What were some of her experiences?

Kathryn Kuhlman was born on 9th May 1907. Her mother was an extreme disciplinarian, who showed less affection toward her.  Contrary, her father had a very loving relationship with her. This shaped her perception of her relationship with our heavenly father. Kathryn started ministry at an early age after she left the ministry of her elder sister’s husband. The Lord started using her but along the line, she came into contact with one evangelist Burroughs Waltrip. This man left his wife and children in another city and came to Denver, where Kathryn was. Over time, a loving relationship developed between them. They ultimately got married. The Lord prompted her to break that relationship but she did not. Everything the Lord started doing in her life came to a standstill. She had a difficult time breaking from that marriage, yet she finally decided to leave this man. She gave up every selfish pursuit to totally seek God’s glory. She spent a great deal of time in the presence of God, always crying on God to save and heal the oppressed. Anytime she closed any meeting she spent hours in God’s presence praying about those who were not saved or healed, She said she feels responsible for those who were not saved or healed. Kathryn indeed paid the price of dedication to have the impact she saw in her ministry.

The presence and power of God were so tangible in her meetings that people always left with unique feelings about the presence of God. She talked more about our relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Our key scripture says we must present ourselves as living sacrifices unto God.

Dear child of God, God is more desirous and prepared for yielded sanctified vessels to use. Would you be such a vessel?

CONFESSION
