Kathryn Kuhlman, everything about Kuhlman

Kathryn Kuhlman is no ordinary person in the Pentecostal circles, most of the great Pentecostal pastors in the world today including Benny Hinn and John Arnot  look back to her as the beginning of their ministries.

Dr Kurt Koch In his book Occult ABC dedicated an entire chapter to Kuhlman . when asked for evidnce of  any miracle from Kuhlman, he was given 28 best examples from Kuhlman's ministry it self . He carefully followed up on a list of 28 cases of alleged healings. Dr Kurt found out that: "Ten had not been healed, seven had experienced an improvement in their condition, eleven had diseases in which the mind can play an important part. In the whole of this extensive report, there is not one clear case of healing from an organic disease"12 Even Dr. William Nolen who spent a long time investigating Kuhlman wrote in his book, Healing: A Doctor in Search of a Miracle, that he was unable to document medically even one case of physical healing, though large numbers of them were claimed.

Kuhlman fell in love with married evangelist Burroughs Waltrip, who left his wife and two children and married her. In 935, Waltrip and Kuhlman were caught hugging and kissing in the church office prior to a service. Initially they kept their romance a secret; however, in 1937 Waltrip divorced his wife, Jessie, leaving her and his two young sons in Texas.

Kurt Koch, recorded a one of the many false miracles of Kuhlman, he reported that "Before the beginning of a meeting, the doctor was standing near the elevator in which about 100 patients in wheelchairs were being taken up in turns. Among them was a man without a wheelchair who was limping very badly. The doctor asked him, "You find it painful to walk?"

"Yes, I had an operation two years ago. But it did not heal. So now I am hoping that Kathryn Kuhlman will heal me."

"Shall I get you a wheelchair?"

"Yes, that would be nice of you."

The doctor brought the lame man a wheelchair, in which he was taken into the auditorium. During the meeting Kathryn called out into the hall, "There's a man here with cancer in his hip. You're cured. Your pain is gone. Come down and claim your cure."

The man in the wheelchair was embarrassed at the idea of being pushed forward to the platform in a wheelchair. So he stood up and walked slowly down the aisle. Behind him came one of the ushers, pushing his wheelchair. The doctor watched carefully. It was the man for whom he had borrowed the chair. When he reached the stage, Kathryn Kuhlman asked him,

"Whose wheelchair is that? Not yours surely?"

"Yes, it is," said the man. He did not want to give a long explanation. . Kathryn continued,

"You've had cancer in the hip and now your pain is gone. Is that right?"

"Yes," he answered.

"Bend over so everyone can see." He bent over. "Walk around." He walked around. "Isn't the Holy Spirit wonderful?" she cried. A sound Of rejoicing went round the hall.

After wards the Doctor inquired of this man, and it was surprising that nothing had changed in his condition, but in Christian circles, the news had spread every where that a man in a wheel chair had been healed13

In late 1975 a serious heart condition suddenly forced Kuhlman to cancel many appearances and eventually to undergo major surgery. She never recovered, and died in 1976.

There were several nasty legal suits involving former employees. Then during her final illness a stranger gained her loyalty and caused her to change her will, thereby depriving the foundation of resources to continue her ministry.
