- 1:25hello my name is Robert slurred I'm
- 1:27sitting outside of a tent that
- 1:30represents a 1950s event in America that
- 1:33went for over 15 years it was a time
- 1:35when God chose over a hundred and fifty
- 1:37different evangelists that we call the
- 1:39healing evangelists that went around
- 1:41America in these canvass cathedrals as
- 1:43they called them preaching salvation and
- 1:45praying for the sick and getting results
- 1:48people eyes were open their deaf ears
- 1:50open their legs are made strong great
- 1:53miracles and these were men like Jack
- 1:55Coe a Alan or Roberts William Brennan
- 1:57these are just a few names that God
- 1:59chose to lead what we call the 1950s
- 2:02healing revival this movement caused a
- 2:05change in how we believe today the
- 2:06healing as we know it today is still a
- 2:08part of all parts of Christianity many
- 2:10because these men and women pioneered it
- 2:13and said they're not gonna back off us
- 2:14and they believed that was true and
- 2:16there was results in it when I was a
- 2:18little boy about 12 and a half years old
- 2:20I was watching my favorite TV show at
- 2:22that time called of Vernon shirley she
- 2:24just walked through the front door of
- 2:25our home and I was sitting on the couch
- 2:27and he walked toward me and he walked
- 2:29toward me the whole room seemed to move
- 2:31back about five six hundred yards and I
- 2:33could hear the TV in the distance and
- 2:35she just said to me Stern the lives of
- 2:37my generals know why they succeded know
- 2:39why they failed for there will come a
- 2:41generation he'll need to know the things
- 2:42that I will teach you if you'll be
- 2:44faithful to do what I ask you to do this
- 2:46day and he said a few other things to me
- 2:48about restoring gifts and unwrapping
- 2:50gifts and helping give us come back to
- 2:52their full potential was a part of my
- 2:53calling my destiny that he wanted me to
- 2:55do in my life and so when the vision
- 2:58ended I went back to watching TV people
- 3:01have said to me over the years well why
- 3:02didn't you get up and pray why don't you
- 3:04get up and read your Bible I was twelve
- 3:05and a half years old when you're twelve
- 3:07and a half you go back to watching TV
- 3:08and so later that afternoon or I should
- 3:10say early in the evening
- 3:12my grandmother handed me a book about
- 3:14the life story of Smith Wigglesworth our
- 3:16great British Heenan evangelist at first
- 3:19I thought who wants to read about
- 3:20preachers because in my life at that
- 3:22time most of the ones I'd experienced
- 3:24were overweight their hair was goofy or
- 3:27they had no hair and most of them looked
- 3:29like a bunch of boring people
- 3:30and I thought who wants to read the
- 3:32story of these preachers in their lives
- 3:35going from church to church singing the
- 3:37same songs preaching the same sir
- 3:38eating the same fried chicken and so I
- 3:41didn't really want to get involved with
- 3:42it but when my grandmother hand to me
- 3:44Smith Wigglesworth life story I begin to
- 3:46read it and that changed my whole life
- 3:49when I begin to read about the British
- 3:51evangelist named wiglesworth who raised
- 3:54a man from the day that was named
- 3:56Lazarus all names now that got my
- 3:58attention as a little boy that's more
- 3:59exciting than a football player than a
- 4:01than a movie star than a famous singer
- 4:03or a president a British guy that was a
- 4:05plumber raised a guy from the dead and
- 4:08the first time he didn't come back the
- 4:09second time he didn't come back and the
- 4:10third time he pushed him against the
- 4:12wall let him go he fell onto the floor
- 4:14still dead and all of a sudden he opened
- 4:16his eyes and stood up and was back from
- 4:18the dead so that begin a journey in my
- 4:21life I begin to read all the books I
- 4:23could find about revival movements and
- 4:25revival leaders men and women from
- 4:26Pentecostal to evangelical be even back
- 4:29into the early church fathers and say
- 4:30why did God choose these people why did
- 4:33God move on them this way what do they
- 4:35have to overcome during this TV show
- 4:37we're going to be going through the
- 4:38lines of different men and women will
- 4:40have rare footage rare pictures will
- 4:43have voice recordings we'll have a few
- 4:45people that will interview they will
- 4:46actually have worked with these
- 4:47different individuals like sister
- 4:49McPherson Kathryn Kuhlman Branham Allan
- 4:51Coe or Roberts different ones we'll look
- 4:53at I wrote my first book and I didn't
- 4:55think folks had to get that excited
- 4:56about it so I thought you know why would
- 4:58folks want to know about church history
- 5:00but church history is a very unique
- 5:02scene the only real a book in the New
- 5:04Testament is not have a proper end is
- 5:06the book of Acts the book of Acts just
- 5:08stops where it says Paul rented a place
- 5:11for two years and received those who
- 5:13came to him and taught them about the
- 5:14gospel of Jesus Christ and the book just
- 5:17stops
- 5:17well that means to me that we're still
- 5:19writing the book of Acts today and we
- 5:21call that church history the reason why
- 5:24most of you don't like churches because
- 5:25people that teach it don't know how to
- 5:27teach it number two they don't have an
- 5:29anointed teacher at number three all
- 5:30they think is its facts and figures and
- 5:33dates and rises and falls and
- 5:35theological controversies well that's
- 5:37not church history that's not what moves
- 5:39a heart that's why births a new gift
- 5:41that's inside of you
- 5:42what births a new gives that when you
- 5:44realize that ordinary people that God
- 5:46chose out of the vastness of the premium
- 5:48population he chose this one and gave
- 5:51him this gifts and
- 5:52that anointing to go into the earth on
- 5:55time another thing that is a mistake
- 5:57that we sometimes think these people
- 5:58were born out of season every gift every
- 6:01nineteen is born on time in season and
- 6:04they're never late the Earth may be late
- 6:06the church might behind but God's
- 6:08calling and God gives us always on time
- 6:11so I want you to make a determination to
- 6:13be with me every weeks so as we go
- 6:15through the lives of these men and women

- 14:16always been a part of the moves of God
- 14:19and the earth from the 1600s the 700s
- 14:22the 89s bill when they hit the 1900s and
- 14:24the pentecostal that came to the British
- 14:26Isles great minimum again to explode and
- 14:29there are New Kingdom men like Howard
- 14:31Carter George Jeffries and the most
- 14:33famous Pentecostal personality and from
- 14:35the United Kingdom is a man named Smith
- 14:36Wigglesworth he was a stutterer who
- 14:39could not speak a declarative sentence
- 14:40without breaking up with stuttering and
- 14:42his embarrassment kept him out of the
- 14:44public flow for many many years
- 14:46he began his life with Christ working
- 14:48with the Salvation Army in those days
- 14:50the Salvation Army was the revival
- 14:52movement of the time if you want to be
- 14:54where God was moving where God was
- 14:55speaking for things were happening
- 14:57you joined the Salvation Army and Smith
- 14:59Wigglesworth that did that that's where
- 15:01he met his wife Polly and one of the
- 15:02Salvation meetings that he was attending
- 15:03and the Lord spoke to him that's your
- 15:05wife so he goes down to meet her and
- 15:07takes possession of her in one way and
- 15:09she was kind of taken back by his
- 15:11abruptness but long story short they got
- 15:14married had a great great life together
- 15:15after her death wiglesworth decided not
- 15:18to stay home and sit in the chair and be
- 15:20set he decided to go to the world
- 15:22so the Wigglesworth of ministry that you
- 15:24and I know about began mainly after his
- 15:27wife's passing so one thing we can learn
- 15:29right up front about wiglesworth no
- 15:31matter what kind of tragedy comes to you
- 15:33God can make something good come out of
- 15:35it so he got up out of his rocking chair
- 15:37and got up out of his little house in
- 15:38Bradford and went to the world he came
- 15:40to America he went through Europe
- 15:42Scandinavia he went to South Africa went
- 15:44to Australia New Zealand he did those
- 15:46trips many times and so those were spin
- 15:49his life praying with the sick and
- 15:50believing God for the loss to get saved
- 15:52his manner of a praying with the sick
- 15:54was not your typical way that we do it
- 15:56today we're people a hands-on you nicely
- 15:58and you fall down politely and somebody
- 16:00catches you wiglesworth was more of
- 16:02abruptness
- 16:03he sometimes would shake people he
- 16:05sometime was kind of a hit him with his
- 16:07fists and and he said one time I pray
- 16:09for you once and that's all you need the
- 16:11second time well that's unbelief and he
- 16:13push you out of the prayer on it I don't
- 16:15know
- 16:15belief in my prayer line and then he
- 16:17sometimes address his critics would ask
- 16:19him why do you hit people he would say I
- 16:21don't hit people I hit the devil they
- 16:23just get in the way we're gonna get
- 16:24widows worse
- 16:25here's salvation experience his bed was
- 16:27the Holy Spirit and learning how to heal
- 16:29the sick and it's worldwide ministry
- 16:30he's more famous today than he was when
- 16:33he was alive and his stories of as an
- 16:35Orthodox manner of praying for the sick
- 16:37is still legendary in our Christian
- 16:39circles today we're also gonna look at a
- 16:42woman named Amy Civil McPherson no one
- 16:44else has been like her since the day
- 16:46that she was born the day that she went
- 16:47to heaven I call her the first lady of

- 22:22after William Brennaman Oral Roberts
- 22:24exploded on the scene there was other
- 22:27great personalities like Jack Coe hey
- 22:29Alan and then of course Katherine
- 22:31Kuhlman comes in with the charismatic
- 22:32movement but if you'll notice behind me
- 22:34on stage we've set the set of our TV
- 22:36show with the old time gospel background
- 22:40with the old wooden pulpit the chairs
- 22:42the stretcher the stretcher the crutches
- 22:45the wheelchairs that people discarded
- 22:46when they were prayed for and so when we
- 22:49come to the 1950s and the Tim revivals
- 22:51this is the scene where people would
- 22:53come in with all different kinds of
- 22:54ailments all different kinds of
- 22:56handicaps and the man of God of the
- 22:58woman of God would pray for them and
- 22:59they would throw their crutches or
- 23:00there's their stretchers aside and start
- 23:03walking and running you know Jack cub
- 23:05was one of those great men that had a
- 23:08phenomenal store when we get his life
- 23:09you're gonna love it
- 23:10he was a Nazarene that got saved in a
- 23:13Nazarene Church which was almost
- 23:14impossible in those days to find
- 23:15salvation in answering church but he did
- 23:17instead of saying hallelujah or glory to
- 23:19God or praise or when he got saved he
- 23:21kept screaming hot dog I got it that's
- 23:23how Jack Coe expressed his excitement
- 23:25over being born again and he couldn't
- 23:27get himself asleep that night so he got
- 23:30up and went out am I gonna tell folks he
- 23:31could find around town about salvation
- 23:33and that's how his ministry really began
- 23:35and then he got spirit-filled and then
- 23:38God called him to preach and he found
- 23:39out that God heals today and he sort of
- 23:41praying with the sick or Robertson
- 23:43Kenneth Hagin both told me that no the
- 23:45person that ever seen in their life had
- 23:46the gift of faith both of them like Jack
- 23:48Coe did as you will see in the footage
- 23:50when we go into his life he would just
- 23:52pull quarters off people's necks he
- 23:54would move people violently back and
- 23:56forth wiglesworth in a way and they get
- 23:58healed but he died at 38 years of age at
- 24:01the height of his ministry and we're
- 24:03gonna find out why when we investigate
- 24:04his life also in this first season we're
- 24:06gonna look at the man called a a talent
- 24:09God's man of faith and power his story
- 24:11begins with his parents that are called
- 24:14moonshiners now some of you may don't
- 24:16know what a moonshiner is but those are
- 24:18the folks that made illegal alcohol with
- 24:20the light of the moon moonshiners from
- 24:22Arkansas where they were from so when he
- 24:24was a baby they would put alcohol or
- 24:26moonshine in his bottle to make him fall
- 24:28asleep and quit crime so at the time he
- 24:30was 78 years old he would smoke like a
- 24:32pack of cigarettes and could
- 24:34drink with the big men and so he grew up
- 24:36in a very rough way but God saved him
- 24:38when God saved him he was a hundred
- 24:41percent for God actually got saved in a
- 24:43Methodist Church and when he walked in a
- 24:45Methodist that Lady preacher was
- 24:47preaching and she stopped her sermon and
- 24:49said now what did you come here for
- 24:50Allen boy because everybody in town knew
- 24:52that Allen boy was trouble said I just
- 24:54came to listen and that night he
- 24:55listened and he got born again in a
- 24:57Methodist Church the long story short he
- 25:00built the great tent and he was one of
- 25:02the greatest miracle minute of the last
- 25:03part of the voice of healing revival and
- 25:06in his life he ended in a tragic way he
- 25:09was accused of being an alcoholic toward
- 25:10the end of his life and I'm gonna tell
- 25:12you that's true or not we could study
- 25:14the life of a Yellin but he had miracles
- 25:16God was with him and we're gonna have a
- 25:18great time with him now the last one of
- 25:20this first season is my favorite because
- 25:21I saw her her name was Katherine Kuhlman
- 25:24many of you could remember when she used
- 25:25to come on TV she always said the same
- 25:27thing I believe in miracles because I
- 25:29believe in God
- 25:30she was the redheaded woman from
- 25:33Concordia Missouri who did not finished
- 25:35high school who began her life in
- 25:37ministry helping her sister and
- 25:39brother-in-law
- 25:40travel around the country taking care of
- 25:41their children where they were in tent
- 25:43meetings because there wasn't enough
- 25:44money they were gonna send her back home
- 25:46to Concordia and she didn't want to go
- 25:48back home so she decided as a teenage
- 25:51girl she'd start preaching herself so
- 25:53her first meeting sores in chicken
- 25:55houses one-room schoolhouses she
- 25:58actually go in there and clean up the
- 25:59chicken houses or the turkey houses
- 26:00sleep there and preach there she's I
- 26:03only knew one thing salvation so she
- 26:04made everybody ever not get born again
- 26:06so if you were born again this night you
- 26:08came the next time you gotta get saved
- 26:09again and again and again
- 26:11that's how Katherine couldn't begin her
