If you are ill, and have not yet received the gift of faith so that you believe in miracles, then get yourself the best medical assistance possible, and pray that God shall work through the human vessel: pray that God shall work through the human vessel: pray that your doctor will be given divine guidance in treating you, and then both of you wait for God to do the actual healing.

Kathryn Kuhlman

Kathryn Kuhlman (1907–1976) war eine US-amerikanische Evangelistin und Heilungspredigerin, die vor allem in Pittsburgh und Los Angeles wirkte und die charismatische Bewegung maßgeblich prägte. Bekannt wurde sie durch überregionale Wundergottesdienste und Medienformate, in denen sie die persönliche Bekehrung und die Hingabe an den Heiligen Geist in den Mittelpunkt stellte. Für Bibelleser veranschaulicht sie das Profil pfingstlicher Frömmigkeit, steht jedoch zugleich für die anhaltende Debatte über die medizinische Nachweisbarkeit von Glaubensheilungen.

Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

I am so weak. I can’t read my Bible. I can’t even pray. I can only lie still in God’s arms like a little child and trust.

Hudson Taylor

The bow cannot be always bent without fear of breaking. Repose is as needful to the mind as sleep to the body… Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
