Kuhlman | The Spiritual Secret I learnt from Hudson Taylor
In the revelation of divine grace a wonderful provision has been made for every one of God’s precious children. A provision has been made for constant unbroken victory on the part of every child of God.
A victory that is unaffected – absolutely unaffected by circumstances, however adverse – however depressing these circumstances may be – provision has been made by God for every one of His children – for literally an unbroken victory and unbroken fellowship. The gift in large measure is unaccepted. Partly because of its nature in value and also on grounds of its terms. Its terms require a surrender which the average Christian is unwilling to make. The things that you have to pay the most for are usually the things which are most valuable and we appreciate the most.
And the most extraordinary thing about the victorious life is that even though it is so clearly taught in this picture, yet it is so frequently unrecognised by Bible students. That has been something very difficult for me to understand. Why it is that so many men in our pulpits today, so many of our seminary students, so many…many of our spiritual leaders have not recognised this wonderful life of unbroken victory with the Lord Jesus Christ?
Many have a thorough knowledge of the Bible … know nothing of this truth experientially. And no minister can give to members of his congregation more than he has experienced himself. And I do hope that there are many ministers of the gospel following me in these talks. Not because I am giving them but because they are based on the very word of God.
And if you can catch the glory of the truth that I have been trying to get to you, then you can go into your pulpits with something that will revolutionise – that will change their entire spiritual life. It will change you as a minister. I mean exactly that. It has been one of the greatest proofs that it has been my privilege to receive from the Master. How is it that we are so slow of heart to understand?
