Bible Note: 'Less than a year before her own death, Kathryn Kuhlman brought one of her healing services to St. Louis. One driver from a fleet of chartered buses that brought people to the meeting from a near 200-mile radius of the city, noted: '“‘She doesn’t always succeed,’ said a driver from Chester. ‘My bus was pretty quiet on the way home last year [after her service]. But for some of those people a little inspiration does wonders, if only for a little while. I had a guy last year who was dying of cancer. He got up on the stage and said he was healed. He died a week later’” (St. Louis Post Dispatch, 5/4/75, “Praying, Hoping, Waiting...” pg. G11). 'To the thousands packed in the auditorium, this man with terminal cancer was just one of many who supposedly walked from the service healed of his infirmity. In reality he was not, despite Kuhlman’s declaration: “God ... has more than enough healing power for everyone in this great auditorium” (ibid.). This same scenario can be applied to untold thousands, perhaps millions' (www.pfo.org/hurtheal.htm). |
