Founders of Our Faith: Kathryn Kuhlman



  “He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” (John 14:21, NKJV)

  Kathryn Kuhlman was born May 9, 1907.  She had an encounter with the Lord at the age of 14 and knew right away the Lord had called her to ministry.  A few years later she began evangelizing locally, eventually establishing a church and then later, she traveled around the United States.  A mark of Kuhlman’s ministry was flowing in the gift of healing.  

  Her life, like so many other ministers, was marked by triumph and tragedy.  Sometimes our worst failures are of our own making.  It is remarkable that for someone who was so sensitive to the voice and presence of the Holy Spirit, Kuhlman also blatantly disobeyed Him at times.  Nevertheless, God never left her.  This should be a comfort to us all.  The Bible says, “the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” (Romans 11:29, NKJV).  

  Many books and articles have been written about Kathryn Kuhlman, but I want to relate instead, a story told by one of my Bible college professors of a personal encounter she had with the famed evangelist.

  Pastor Jean Darnall and her husband Elmer led a church in Pennsylvania, in the 1940’s.  Several of their congregants were getting together to attend one of Kuhlman’s meetings.  Having never heard of Kuhlman, Darnall decided to tag along.  All ordained ministers were typically seated on the platform behind the speaker in those days, so as the meeting began, and Kuhlman took to the pulpit, Darnall had a first-hand view of all that took place.

  Spontaneously, and quite suddenly, enormously powerful miracles were happening all over the large convention center.  A woman with a large mass on her neck on the front row was instantly healed – the mass simply disappeared.  People were leaving wheelchairs behind and walking for the first time in years.

  But something troubled Darnall about all this.  Not once did Kuhlman open a Bible, or talk about the blood of Jesus, or other things one might expect.  So, she simply prayed about it and returned home when the meeting concluded.

  Some months later, Kuhlman held another local meeting and Darnall decided to give it another try.  This time, as Kuhlman approached the pulpit, she said, “Today, I feel I should take some time to teach you about the blood of Jesus, that healing is a part of the atonement, through the finished work of Jesus Christ.”  This pleased Darnall, but when Kuhlman concluded, she said to the congregation, “This is the work of the ministry” and with that she whirled around, pointed right at Darnall, with her long, bony finger, and said, “And you had better get to it!”  It was so obvious Darnall was the one she was pointing at that all the other ministers looked right at her.  

  Kathryn Kuhlman was said to have had a very personal and deep relationship with the Holy Spirit, something that is available to us all.

  More next week!

    I love following her teachings, I am Evangelist shiellah rateyiwa in bulawayo Zimbabwe. Am so much comforted as a female preacher that I am not the only one. Leading a ministry as a woman isn’t easy, thus reading her books surely brings so much encouragement! One day we shall see her again in heaven

    • Erica Umeh says:

      God said in His word that he will never leave or forsake us. The Holy spirit didn’t leave you. Just call out to God to have mercy on you and submit again under his will. He will hear and answer…….God loves you.

  10. The entire new testament doesn’t show that women preached , and Paul writes about women not to preach .
    But I have no doughts that women did minister . And the one scripture which does really support women who prophesy the word of God is in (old testament) HEBREW scriptures in Joel 2:28. Recently I gave a brand new Bible to a sister whom I Proclaim the gospel with in street Evangelism. I said only a few words to her, ” read it and do what it says” I also gave her two chapters to read 1corinthians 11 and 2 Corinthians 11.
    Kathryn kuhlman is someone I really want to know more about . I absolutely have respect and love for women God knows this has always been so , and I still honor them as mothers ,wives , sisters and friends and servants of virtue in their different call to duty. Yet because the Bible says women should not preach I have trouble trying to reconcile the scriptures. In the book of Phillipians it is written that” if in anything we are otherwise minded God will reveal even this unto us ” this scripture gives me confidence whenever I feel like I may error following the teachings and doctrines of men . Please share with me a thought concerning my comment if you have understood what am trying to convey and in which am seeking to be enlightened. Iron sharpens iron. May God bless you forever in the mighty name of Jesus.

    I am amazed that GOD picked up an empty vessel and use her so mightily. I seek to know more about Evangelist Kathryn Kulman and really more about her relationship with THE HOLY SPIRIT.

    Thank you

  14. God'sgift says:

    Pls I would love to know more abt her

  15. I was in Kathryn’s choir in Los Angeles as a Bible School student. I consider her one of my mentors as she so powerfully showed what God can do with a yielded vessel. My grandmother was saved in a service snd interesting Jean Darnall was in this article as she was a friend of ours. She had a powerful ministry also.

  16. Omolabake says:

    It’s sad that I got to know about her when she is late but I really want to know her
