It's Supernatural

Sid: My guest by way of telephone is Joan Gieson I’m speaking to her at her home in St. Louis, Missouri. And we’ve been finding out all of this week as a young mother she just had her first child she instantly went blind things started getting worse, she couldn’t walk she couldn’t, she might get deaf, one doctor said she wouldn’t live, she felt like a walking time-bomb that sometimes the blindness would disappear and then disappear. And she went to a Kathryn Kuhlman service, Kathryn Kuhlman had one of the greatest healing ministries of this generation. And she was there with her husband who wasn’t even a believer and she said to her husband “There’s like lights all over me.” And she opened her eyes and she saw these lights and her husband said “There’s no light over you.” And she was totally healed of every symptom and your friend, what was her name Shirley, who had MS that you brought she gets out of a wheelchair and starts walking. For those that aren’t familiar with the Kathryn Kuhlman Ministry tell me what someone might see if they went to one of her services.

Joan: This is what we live for isn’t it to talk about Jesus and His magnificence and once again when you would go into a Kathryn Kuhlman service you know that lady would walk out…you know sometimes how you have to it’s like you warm up a horse so when you know when they’re ready for a race. You’ve got kind of run them over a little bit so that they’re into it and all warmed up and you know. She would come out on that platform without any warming up there was none of that. You know the music didn’t have to be great and grand there was a pianist and organist and that was it. And she would have Jimmy McDonald or one of the other singers do a solo or 2 and we would sing a few hymns but instantly Sid instantly she would say “Someone there is being healed of a terminal cancer.” Someone up on the platform” and by the way Sid I spoke that I believe there is someone listening to us now who has terminal cancer. In the name of Jesus honey just be made whole just life your hands and you’ll feel the Spirit of God come down and around you.

Sid: You know Mishpochah your not that familiar with Joan and I’m just getting to know her we just did a television show with her and she did something very similar to this word of knowledge during our commercial break. She said “There’s someone on the set and you described they had something wrong with their right hip and their back and their neck.”

Joan: And you know it’s deeper than that this woman name is Lois.

Sid: Oh you know the person with terminal cancer.

Joan: The woman’s name is Lois that’s all I know.

Sid: Hm.

Joan: Lois, Lois has terminal cancer and God is healing her as we’re speaking.

Sid: I absolutely believe this and I said “Anyone on the set?” Do you have this specific condition that Joan stated so no one said yes. So I just kind of ignored it we went on with t the interview. The end of the interview out makeup artist who was in the back at the time comes running up and says “She just described me I was in an auto accident and my right hip and my back and I’m a mess.” Now you did something Joan that I wish we had gotten on television. Why did you… it was a very weird thing do you remember what you did?

Joan: Well I remember putting that lady on my back which is so weird.

Sid: Yes, that is weird.

Joan: I had her put her hands around my neck and I leaned forward with her on my back. And as I did there was all kinds of cracking and she…

Sid: Listen if she didn’t have a back problem before she sure would have had one afterwards.

Joan: Isn’t that the funniest thing I mean every individual is individual as their own fingerprints not 2 of us are made alike.

Sid: But did you hear did God tell you to do that?

Joan: God said to do that I would never had done that.

Sid: I mean just…I want you to catch this Mishpochah she had Gina this woman they were back to back sort of locking arms and Joan bent forward and Gina went up in the air and all of this cracking occurs then she comes down and she said “I have no pain I’m healed.”

Joan: She hadn’t been able to move her neck for months; that girl told me she could not move. The first thing she did was turn her neck from side to side, back and forth. I mean that was the first thing and then her back there was no pain she could lift her legs. Remember she jumped off of that platform there was no pain in the back it went away.

Sid: So I’m positive that that woman with terminal cancer is healed in Jesus name.

Joan: Her name if Lois.

Sid: Well Lois I want you to call our office because we want to rejoice right along with you. Now I want to go back, we were talking about a Kathryn Kuhlman meeting, I mean I would see so many people healed I mean every service you were with her for many years.

Joan: Eight and half years.

Sid: You actually worked with her.

Joan: Yes I actually worked with her and we would see people I mean it was little, big, old, young, educated, uneducated, not even being able to speak the same language and that’s was beautiful about it. When you know that there is absolutely nothing that you have in and of yourself. There’s no what that these people could even understand what she was saying.

Sid: So non-believers would get healed and then she would lead them to the Lord.

Joan: Exactly. I remember a fisherman and they guy even said a few not real godly words when he was up there. Well this guy was big and he reminded me of Peter; well he came and he was real sick and God healed him that man was not a believer. And before that day was over he was healed and he was saved. But that’s the drawing power of God He woos you in and you’re just you’re just putty in His hands. Either that or you’re just blatantly saying “No, no, no I’m not going to go for that; what a fool you’d be to do that.”

But Sid let me tell you about this lady we were talking about not knowing what to do after your miracle. You know I came home and in about 3 months well, let me start off with my friend first. My friend Shirley was dramatically and completely made whole on that day.

Sid: That was from MS.

Joan: That was MS but she hadn’t walked for 14 years, she couldn’t see, the balance the whole deal and I believe today that’s what I had was MS. I believe it was the same thing but the testing isn’t sophisticated enough at that time to know. Today they can do the spinal tap’s the MRI’s and they know. But when we brought that woman home we…the first thing Shirley wanted to do was go for a steak dinner. And we went and she cut her own steak, she ate the baked potato and the salad and the desert. We thought she was going to die from the food.

Sid: (Laughing)

Joan: Because here she’s on baby food and now she’s eating all of this stuff and we get her home and I knock and we ran up to the door. Knock, knock it’s like 3:00 in the morning on Sunday morning. And Richard and the kids four of them came to the door and the screen door was closed and he just stared at the children because some of the most of the kids not seeing their mother out a wheelchair. Now these kids they’re just, ever body’s amazed and he’s not saying a word they’re not saying a word. I said “Richard let us in.” He let us in I said “This is the plan Richard God has healed your wife the wheelchair if in the trunk God has healed Shirley. And tomorrow morning…he was an elder of our church. I said “Tomorrow morning Frank and I will pick up Shirley will you take the children on to Sunday School and Shirley and Frank and I are going to go all the way down to the front row of the church. And everybody is going to…I mean everybody knew about Shirley, everybody knew about me. And so he said “Okay.” And so the next morning we did pick up Shirley and her and I got out of the car and there must have been 30 steps to the front door they were off the street into the sanctuary. And Frank drops us off right in front and I said “Shirley I bet I can beat you up the steps.” Well neither one of us had gone up that way for years we had to go around the back where there were no steps. We raced up the steps and we got almost to the top Sid and the big doors swung open and it was our pastor and he walked out on the front on the top step and there was Richard right behind him. They closed the door and the pastor pointed to me and said “How dare you do this!” And I said “What?” He said “How dare you give this family false hope, how dare you promise them something that’s not going to be; she is going die like the doctors have said and so are you there are no such things as miracles today.” Sid I ….

Sid: My goodness.

Joan: By that time Frank was up there with us and Frank said “Pastor don’t say that I watched God heal my wife; no my wife will not die.” I said “No Pastor I’m not going to die.” Shirley didn’t say a word and Richard was standing looking over the shoulder of the pastor and Sid it was like a rose being cut from the vine within 6½ months my friend was dead.

Sid: Oh my goodness let me ask you about yourself very quickly. How many years ago was it that you were healed?

Joan: 1966 and this is 2001.

Sid: Alright how is your sight?

Joan: My sight is perfect! You know I’m old I wear glasses to read but no big deal, I drive I can see. But let me tell you this, 3 months after I was healed I encountered that blindness once again. And my husband looked at me and said “Don’t you even think that you weren’t healed you get up and you walk the devil is a liar I saw you healed.” And I almost disliked him momentarily because he wasn’t sympathetic for me and I got angry and I got up and I said “Oh God.” And instantly that sight came back.

Sid: And you know these lying spirits and that’s an important lesson for you to learn but we’re out of time and I’m going to have Joan pray for you on tomorrows broadcast.
