A surprise for Mama Kathryn
Kuhlman was a woman whom God used with His mighty power.
She was born in Missouri USA on May 9, 1907.
In her childhood days she was the most mischievous girl in the
whole town. When she was not even six years old she thought of a
mischievous plan of giving a surprise birthday party to her mother.
She thought that it would be the most wonderful thing in the world
to give a surprise birthday party to her mother.
She also thought that mother would be greatly pleased with her. So
she went around in the town and invited every lady who was good to her.
She visited them at their homes and told them, "Monday is my
Mama's birthday, so please come to our house at two o'clock and bring a
cake. Monday
was always a washday for her mother whether it was a rainy day or bright
shiny day. She used to wash
all her old washboard, galvanized tub and the hand wringer.
So on Monday when she finished with all her washing, she relaxed
and had a little nap. At two
o'clock sharp, the doorbell rang and her mother who had curlers on her
hair and wearing a dirty work dress came to open the door.
She saw the ladies standing outside in their best dresses and
everyone had a beautifully decorated cake with them. It
was a complete embarrassment for Kathryn's mother and she wanted to run
and hide but could not. They
have already seen her and she had no other option except to receive them
in home. Kathryn invited
thirty ladies for the birthday party and all of them came.
Kathryn was delighted with her plan and she looked at the whole
procedure from behind the bushes. Well,
the party was over, but Kathryn was in big trouble.
For the next two weeks she had to eat her breakfast, lunch and
dinner standing. Once she asked some of her fellow students to attend a funeral at the Evangelical church. Her friends had no idea whose funeral it was. Later they found out that it was a prank. But the school officials did not take it lightly. They expelled Kathryn from school. But later on they allowed her to attend the school when she and her father earnestly pleaded with them. But when Jesus came in the heart of Kathryn she was completely transformed and she became a new person. She was so completely changed that her mischievous behavior left her.  Is Bible Infallible? II Last week we discussed about creation account in Genesis Chapter one comparing it with different parts of Bible. We focused on eye witness accounts. We discovered that God, Jesus, Holy Spirit and Angels have only one thing to say that God is the creator of the Universe and the earth. Today we are going to look into material evidences. I said to many people that I had a hobby of creating electronic gadgets and when I tell them that I had created automatic 'ON-OFF' pump system for overhead tank of my house. And that I had myself designed the circuit for it. First question I get is, does it still exist? I tell them, "no it does not". They still take it as true according to my words. I know that what I say is true but I don't have those things in existence to show as proof. God has claimed that He created universe, earth and many other things. Can we trace those things mentioned in Genesis. Do they exist today? Had they ever existed? Let us start with Genesis 1 Gen 1:1-4, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. Then God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so." Both heavens and earth exist today. Water mentioned in Gen 1:2 exists today. Darkness, Light also exist today. Gen 1:2 and Gen 1:9 makes us believe that dry earth was not visible first. As far as you can see you see only water. Do we have any evidence of it's possibility? Yes it is possible. If all the mountains are leveled and put in the sea, water will cover the whole earth and water will be far above the earth. Gen 1:3-4, "Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness." God created the light and divided the light from the darkness. Even before the sun was created yet there was light. Can light shine without Sun? Yes of course. We lit the candle, we lit the lantern and we switch on the bulb and it gives light everything in the absence of sun. Can you imagine a life without Sun giving light? Day is going to come when sun will not give light and light of sun will not be needed. Rev 22:5 "There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever." Does anybody know how to divide light from darkness? We don't need to, because God has already done that. This is the first law of physics. God defined that light will expel darkness. This law still exists. Can any body change it answer is only God can. In the same way God is light and the darkness of sin can be expelled only and only by God. Jesus did exactly the same for us when He hang on the cross to die for our sins on our behalf. When Jesus comes into a person's life He expels darkness and gives light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." Let us look further what else God created. Gen 1:11-12, Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth"; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good." Grass, fruit, trees, seeds, herbs of different kinds category by category or species by species. Do they exist today? Yes they exists in plenty. Every where you go they are there. Another rule set by God was that they will be according to its kind. They will yield fruit and seed. They faithfully do it even today. Can they disobey God in the order God has given? Answer is no. They go on doing it again and again. Gen 1:16 Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. Gen 1:17 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, Does the two lights and stars exist? Yes they do. Now there is a big debate on how can moon be light when it doesn't have light. Although moon doesn't have it's own light but it reflects the light of the sun and gives light. God calls moon light in exactly the same way he calls believers light. Eph 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light Eph 5:9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),
