  35. 1:25hello my name is Robert slurred I'm
  36. 1:27sitting outside of a tent that
  37. 1:30represents a 1950s event in America that
  38. 1:33went for over 15 years it was a time
  39. 1:35when God chose over a hundred and fifty
  40. 1:37different evangelists that we call the
  41. 1:39healing evangelists that went around
  42. 1:41America in these canvass cathedrals as
  43. 1:43they called them preaching salvation and
  44. 1:45praying for the sick and getting results
  45. 1:48people eyes were open their deaf ears
  46. 1:50open their legs are made strong great
  47. 1:53miracles and these were men like Jack
  48. 1:55Coe a Alan or Roberts William Brennan
  49. 1:57these are just a few names that God
  50. 1:59chose to lead what we call the 1950s
  51. 2:02healing revival this movement caused a
  52. 2:05change in how we believe today the
  53. 2:06healing as we know it today is still a
  54. 2:08part of all parts of Christianity many
  55. 2:10because these men and women pioneered it
  56. 2:13and said they're not gonna back off us
  57. 2:14and they believed that was true and
  58. 2:16there was results in it when I was a
  59. 2:18little boy about 12 and a half years old
  60. 2:20I was watching my favorite TV show at
  61. 2:22that time called of Vernon shirley she
  62. 2:24just walked through the front door of
  63. 2:25our home and I was sitting on the couch
  64. 2:27and he walked toward me and he walked
  65. 2:29toward me the whole room seemed to move
  66. 2:31back about five six hundred yards and I
  67. 2:33could hear the TV in the distance and
  68. 2:35she just said to me Stern the lives of
  69. 2:37my generals know why they succeded know
  70. 2:39why they failed for there will come a
  71. 2:41generation he'll need to know the things
  72. 2:42that I will teach you if you'll be
  73. 2:44faithful to do what I ask you to do this
  74. 2:46day and he said a few other things to me
  75. 2:48about restoring gifts and unwrapping
  76. 2:50gifts and helping give us come back to
  77. 2:52their full potential was a part of my
  78. 2:53calling my destiny that he wanted me to
  79. 2:55do in my life and so when the vision
  80. 2:58ended I went back to watching TV people
  81. 3:01have said to me over the years well why
  82. 3:02didn't you get up and pray why don't you
  83. 3:04get up and read your Bible I was twelve
  84. 3:05and a half years old when you're twelve
  85. 3:07and a half you go back to watching TV
  86. 3:08and so later that afternoon or I should
  87. 3:10say early in the evening
  88. 3:12my grandmother handed me a book about
  89. 3:14the life story of Smith Wigglesworth our
  90. 3:16great British Heenan evangelist at first
  91. 3:19I thought who wants to read about
  92. 3:20preachers because in my life at that
  93. 3:22time most of the ones I'd experienced
  94. 3:24were overweight their hair was goofy or
  95. 3:27they had no hair and most of them looked
  96. 3:29like a bunch of boring people
  97. 3:30and I thought who wants to read the
  98. 3:32story of these preachers in their lives
  99. 3:35going from church to church singing the
  100. 3:37same songs preaching the same sir
  101. 3:38eating the same fried chicken and so I
  102. 3:41didn't really want to get involved with
  103. 3:42it but when my grandmother hand to me
  104. 3:44Smith Wigglesworth life story I begin to
  105. 3:46read it and that changed my whole life
  106. 3:49when I begin to read about the British
  107. 3:51evangelist named wiglesworth who raised
  108. 3:54a man from the day that was named
  109. 3:56Lazarus all names now that got my
  110. 3:58attention as a little boy that's more
  111. 3:59exciting than a football player than a
  112. 4:01than a movie star than a famous singer
  113. 4:03or a president a British guy that was a
  114. 4:05plumber raised a guy from the dead and
  115. 4:08the first time he didn't come back the
  116. 4:09second time he didn't come back and the
  117. 4:10third time he pushed him against the
  118. 4:12wall let him go he fell onto the floor
  119. 4:14still dead and all of a sudden he opened
  120. 4:16his eyes and stood up and was back from
  121. 4:18the dead so that begin a journey in my
  122. 4:21life I begin to read all the books I
  123. 4:23could find about revival movements and
  124. 4:25revival leaders men and women from
  125. 4:26Pentecostal to evangelical be even back
  126. 4:29into the early church fathers and say
  127. 4:30why did God choose these people why did
  128. 4:33God move on them this way what do they
  129. 4:35have to overcome during this TV show
  130. 4:37we're going to be going through the
  131. 4:38lines of different men and women will
  132. 4:40have rare footage rare pictures will
  133. 4:43have voice recordings we'll have a few
  134. 4:45people that will interview they will
  135. 4:46actually have worked with these
  136. 4:47different individuals like sister
  137. 4:49McPherson Kathryn Kuhlman Branham Allan
  138. 4:51Coe or Roberts different ones we'll look
  139. 4:53at I wrote my first book and I didn't
  140. 4:55think folks had to get that excited
  141. 4:56about it so I thought you know why would
  142. 4:58folks want to know about church history
  143. 5:00but church history is a very unique
  144. 5:02scene the only real a book in the New
  145. 5:04Testament is not have a proper end is
  146. 5:06the book of Acts the book of Acts just
  147. 5:08stops where it says Paul rented a place
  148. 5:11for two years and received those who
  149. 5:13came to him and taught them about the
  150. 5:14gospel of Jesus Christ and the book just
  151. 5:17stops
  152. 5:17well that means to me that we're still
  153. 5:19writing the book of Acts today and we
  154. 5:21call that church history the reason why
  155. 5:24most of you don't like churches because
  156. 5:25people that teach it don't know how to
  157. 5:27teach it number two they don't have an
  158. 5:29anointed teacher at number three all
  159. 5:30they think is its facts and figures and
  160. 5:33dates and rises and falls and
  161. 5:35theological controversies well that's
  162. 5:37not church history that's not what moves
  163. 5:39a heart that's why births a new gift
  164. 5:41that's inside of you
  165. 5:42what births a new gives that when you
  166. 5:44realize that ordinary people that God
  167. 5:46chose out of the vastness of the premium
  168. 5:48population he chose this one and gave
  169. 5:51him this gifts and
  170. 5:52that anointing to go into the earth on
  171. 5:55time another thing that is a mistake
  172. 5:57that we sometimes think these people
  173. 5:58were born out of season every gift every
  174. 6:01nineteen is born on time in season and
  175. 6:04they're never late the Earth may be late
  176. 6:06the church might behind but God's
  177. 6:08calling and God gives us always on time

  417. 14:16always been a part of the moves of God
  418. 14:19and the earth from the 1600s the 700s
  419. 14:22the 89s bill when they hit the 1900s and
  420. 14:24the pentecostal that came to the British
  421. 14:26Isles great minimum again to explode and
  422. 14:29there are New Kingdom men like Howard
  423. 14:31Carter George Jeffries and the most
  424. 14:33famous Pentecostal personality and from
  425. 14:35the United Kingdom is a man named Smith
  426. 14:36Wigglesworth he was a stutterer who
  427. 14:39could not speak a declarative sentence
  428. 14:40without breaking up with stuttering and
  429. 14:42his embarrassment kept him out of the
  430. 14:44public flow for many many years
  431. 14:46he began his life with Christ working
  432. 14:48with the Salvation Army in those days
  433. 14:50the Salvation Army was the revival
  434. 14:52movement of the time if you want to be
  435. 14:54where God was moving where God was
  436. 14:55speaking for things were happening
  437. 14:57you joined the Salvation Army and Smith
  438. 14:59Wigglesworth that did that that's where
  439. 15:01he met his wife Polly and one of the
  440. 15:02Salvation meetings that he was attending
  441. 15:03and the Lord spoke to him that's your
  442. 15:05wife so he goes down to meet her and
  443. 15:07takes possession of her in one way and
  444. 15:09she was kind of taken back by his
  445. 15:11abruptness but long story short they got
  446. 15:14married had a great great life together
  447. 15:15after her death wiglesworth decided not
  448. 15:18to stay home and sit in the chair and be
  449. 15:20set he decided to go to the world
  450. 15:22so the Wigglesworth of ministry that you
  451. 15:24and I know about began mainly after his
  452. 15:27wife's passing so one thing we can learn
  453. 15:29right up front about wiglesworth no
  454. 15:31matter what kind of tragedy comes to you
  455. 15:33God can make something good come out of
  456. 15:35it so he got up out of his rocking chair
  457. 15:37and got up out of his little house in
  458. 15:38Bradford and went to the world he came
  459. 15:40to America he went through Europe
  460. 15:42Scandinavia he went to South Africa went
  461. 15:44to Australia New Zealand he did those
  462. 15:46trips many times and so those were spin
  463. 15:49his life praying with the sick and
  464. 15:50believing God for the loss to get saved
  465. 15:52his manner of a praying with the sick
  466. 15:54was not your typical way that we do it
  467. 15:56today we're people a hands-on you nicely
  468. 15:58and you fall down politely and somebody
  469. 16:00catches you wiglesworth was more of
  470. 16:02abruptness
  471. 16:03he sometimes would shake people he
  472. 16:05sometime was kind of a hit him with his
  473. 16:07fists and and he said one time I pray
  474. 16:09for you once and that's all you need the
  475. 16:11second time well that's unbelief and he
  476. 16:13push you out of the prayer on it I don't
  477. 16:15know
  478. 16:15belief in my prayer line and then he
  479. 16:17sometimes address his critics would ask
  480. 16:19him why do you hit people he would say I
  481. 16:21don't hit people I hit the devil they
  482. 16:23just get in the way we're gonna get
  483. 16:24widows worse

  659. 22:22after William Brennaman Oral Roberts
  660. 22:24exploded on the scene there was other
  661. 22:27great personalities like Jack Coe hey
  662. 22:29Alan and then of course Katherine
  663. 22:31Kuhlman comes in with the charismatic
  664. 22:32movement but if you'll notice behind me
  665. 22:34on stage we've set the set of our TV
  666. 22:36show with the old time gospel background
  667. 22:40with the old wooden pulpit the chairs
  668. 22:42the stretcher the stretcher the crutches
  669. 22:45the wheelchairs that people discarded
  670. 22:46when they were prayed for and so when we
  671. 22:49come to the 1950s and the Tim revivals
  672. 22:51this is the scene where people would
  673. 22:53come in with all different kinds of
  674. 22:54ailments all different kinds of
  675. 22:56handicaps and the man of God of the
  676. 22:58woman of God would pray for them and
  677. 22:59they would throw their crutches or
  678. 23:00there's their stretchers aside and start
  679. 23:03walking and running you know Jack cub
  680. 23:05was one of those great men that had a
  681. 23:08phenomenal store when we get his life
  682. 23:09you're gonna love it
  683. 23:10he was a Nazarene that got saved in a
  684. 23:13Nazarene Church which was almost
  685. 23:14impossible in those days to find
  686. 23:15salvation in answering church but he did
  687. 23:17instead of saying hallelujah or glory to
  688. 23:19God or praise or when he got saved he
  689. 23:21kept screaming hot dog I got it that's
  690. 23:23how Jack Coe expressed his excitement
  691. 23:25over being born again and he couldn't
  692. 23:27get himself asleep that night so he got
  693. 23:30up and went out am I gonna tell folks he
  694. 23:31could find around town about salvation
  695. 23:33and that's how his ministry really began
  696. 23:35and then he got spirit-filled and then
  697. 23:38God called him to preach and he found
  698. 23:39out that God heals today and he sort of
  699. 23:41praying with the sick or Robertson
  700. 23:43Kenneth Hagin both told me that no the
  701. 23:45person that ever seen in their life had
  702. 23:46the gift of faith both of them like Jack
  703. 23:48Coe did as you will see in the footage
  704. 23:50when we go into his life he would just
  705. 23:52pull quarters off people's necks he
  706. 23:54would move people violently back and
  707. 23:56forth wiglesworth in a way and they get
  708. 23:58healed but he died at 38 years of age at
  709. 24:01the height of his ministry and we're
  710. 24:03gonna find out why when we investigate
  711. 24:04his life also in this first season we're
  712. 24:06gonna look at the man called a a talent
  713. 24:09God's man of faith and power his story
  714. 24:11begins with his parents that are called
  715. 24:14moonshiners now some of you may don't
  716. 24:16know what a moonshiner is but those are
  717. 24:18the folks that made illegal alcohol with
  718. 24:20the light of the moon moonshiners from
  719. 24:22Arkansas where they were from so when he
  720. 24:24was a baby they would put alcohol or
  721. 24:26moonshine in his bottle to make him fall
  722. 24:28asleep and quit crime so at the time he
  723. 24:30was 78 years old he would smoke like a
  724. 24:32pack of cigarettes and could
  725. 24:34drink with the big men and so he grew up
  726. 24:36in a very rough way but God saved him
  727. 24:38when God saved him he was a hundred
  728. 24:41percent for God actually got saved in a
  729. 24:43Methodist Church and when he walked in a
  730. 24:45Methodist that Lady preacher was
  731. 24:47preaching and she stopped her sermon and
  732. 24:49said now what did you come here for
  733. 24:50Allen boy because everybody in town knew
  734. 24:52that Allen boy was trouble said I just
  735. 24:54came to listen and that night he
  736. 24:55listened and he got born again in a
  737. 24:57Methodist Church the long story short he
  738. 25:00built the great tent and he was one of
  739. 25:02the greatest miracle minute of the last
  740. 25:03part of the voice of healing revival and
  741. 25:06in his life he ended in a tragic way he
  742. 25:09was accused of being an alcoholic toward
  743. 25:10the end of his life and I'm gonna tell
  744. 25:12you that's true or not we could study
  745. 25:14the life of a Yellin but he had miracles
  746. 25:16God was with him and we're gonna have a
  747. 25:18great time with him now the last one of
  748. 25:20this first season is my favorite because
  749. 25:21I saw her her name was Katherine Kuhlman
  750. 25:24many of you could remember when she used
  751. 25:25to come on TV she always said the same
  752. 25:27thing I believe in miracles because I
  753. 25:29believe in God
  754. 25:30she was the redheaded woman from
  755. 25:33Concordia Missouri who did not finished
  756. 25:35high school who began her life in
