Sid Roth

Sid:  I have a man that’s been in ministry 50 years and has been mentored by the people that I’ve read about and there was only one that I personally knew, Katherine Kuhlman.  Don Gossett there’s a generation that’s been raised up that all of these secrets there ministries of healing they’re just mysteries.  But you’ve out lined in your book called “The Power of Your Words.”  The most important things you’ve learned about healing in over 50 years in the healing ministry.  Being mentored but we’re talking a couple of days ago about a man that intrigues me greatly his name is William Branham.  Will you take me into a service and tell me the types of things that you saw with your very eyes in a William Branham service.

Don:  In March 1960 in Tulsa at the Municipal Auditorium William Branham ministered there for some days and weeks.  And back in those days the crusades always lasted extended period of time not just 2 or 3 days or continued on for a time.  William Branham as I was invited to be on his platform with him every night for the meeting every day.  It was a wonderful occasion and I could just close my eyes and remember vividly the great experiences that happened.  For instance one night he said on the seventh row in the fifth seat there’s a man and I want you to stand please.  And the man stood up and he said “I see you’re a minister.”  And he acknowledged he was and he said “Well, you’re an Assemblies of God pastor.”  And he said “Yes I am.”  He said “I see the whole scene my bother you were driving down a highway and you came to a 4 way stop.  You stopped your car and then you proceeded to move on but a car coming from the other direction did not stop at the 4 way stop crashed into your car.  Is that correct brother?”  And the man, the pastor began to break into emotion tears and joy and realizing that his life what happened 15 years before was suddenly being revealed very distinctly and accurately.  And then he explained further he said “The car after it crashed into you you were thrown out onto the highway” and he said “Is that correct brother?”  And he said “Yes it was.”  “And you were hospitalized and yet for the last 15 years you’ve suffered continual pain from where the cars crashed into you.”  And the man began to break up and began to weep profusely and William Branham spoke the healing word and said in Jesus Name your healed now by the Lord’s power, the pain leaves and you’re made whole.”  Well, the man tested to that fact and came back to give witness that a miracle had taken place. And this was the type of meeting that William Branham conducted service after service as the scriptures says that “God reveals to those Spirit Filled believer’s the secrets of men’s heart.  And William Branham was so humble and so very filled with love in my observation. I’ve frankly never seen a man that exude the love of Jesus Christ as this man did.  Now I say that with all due respect to my wonderful friends TL Osborn, and William Freeman, and Jack Coy, and Kathryn Kuhlman, but as I often said “He was a man that didn’t belong to this world.  He was a man that somehow been touched by God from a non-worldly standpoint that enabled him to be used by God profound utterances.  And…

Sid: Now to me that is a New Testament prophet and I wouldn’t want to settle for anything short of that. Let’s talk about someone I did see minister and I did get to know, Kathryn Kuhlman.

Don:   Again I want to emphasize the fact that I never on the staff of either William Branham or Kathryn Kuhlman. My association with them was other connections.  I was actually on the full-time staff with these other four people traveling with them, working with them and one way involved but in the world conference of the Holy Spirit in Jerusalem in the years 1974 and 75 I was the Canadian Coordinator for the World Conference of the Holy Spirit.  It simply means that I occasion to be in contact with leaders and those who ministered and Kathryn was the key speaker.  If anyone ever had an occasion to be close to Kathryn in those events before she would go into a service she would passionately pray “Holy Spirit can You trust me just one more time. Oh Holy Spirit can you trust me just one more time?” You could hear the desperate cry of her heart and think she hadn’t been used by the Holy Spirit.  But of course she had but Kathryn was also known at a time when she grieved and quenched the Holy Spirit.  In the book “Daughter of Destiny” by Jamie Buckingham he relates how Kathryn for a period of years had grieved the Holy Spirit and unfortunately while she certainly repented and changed that simple direction for her life by simply she knew what it was to not be led by the Holy Spirit by trusting the Holy Spirit.  But I think as one of the most fervent prayers I ever heard her pray effectively “Holy Spirit can you trust me just one more time.”  And I believe that any of us that want to be used by God if the Holy Spirit can trust us and we can lay aside or arrogance or self-seeking or whatever ambitions might be in our hearts to really be trusted by the Holy Spirit that He can use us as He used Kathryn.  And I thank God for the mighty manner which He flowed through her.  I can share so many events of my personal encounters briefly at a very brief time in my life where Kathryn Kuhlman and her ministry but the time would not permit on this program I’m sure.

Sid:  I’ll tell you what would be even more beneficial to our listeners you have learned keys to manifesting God’s healing you don’t need a super Kathryn Kuhlman miracle anointing you just need to understand the promises of God’s word and how to appropriate them. Would you teach a little?

Don:  Yes, well I have written a book with Dr. E.W. Kenyan called “The Power of Your Words.” Now I hold this book in my hands here in my office in Blaine, Washington because it’s like divine dynamite because I know how this truth put in the hearts and the mouths of the believers had been revolutionary.  The results have been just overwhelming.

Sid: And it’s not just physical healing although it is physical healing it’s any need that someone has.

Don:  That’s right when we agree to agree with God and disagree with the adversary we learn the speaking forth principal of how God works through the power of our words.  You know back here just a moment to alluding to William Branham; when he was with us in Tulsa he came off into the Osborn offices where I was Associate to PL Osborn.  And he was with us one day when he said “Mark 11:23” is the most unfulfilled and unused scripture in the Bible.  Jesus said ‘Whoever should say to this mountain be yea removed and be cast in the sea and shall not doubt in his heart that those things that you sayeth shall come to past he shall have whatsoever he saith.’”  I mean William Branham en-parted that to us with fire and conviction.  Well, that’s what “The Power of Your Words” is all about the fact that you speak to your mountains; you don’t pray to your mountains but you speak to them in Jesus Name He said “And to be removed.”  And thank God He said “They shall be done, for what you say is what you get.”  That’s a great truth, and that was my same relationship I had with TL Osborn; I became connected with this man that has been used of God all over the world in such awesome ways.  We discussed together this principal by the power of your words.  And he said “Don Gossett, understanding this principal marks you as a man 1 in a million.”  Well, I don’t know about that but any way he said “I want you to be my associate, I want you to preach my afternoon services, I want you to become a part of my staff and I did and it was a great experience.  Well this principal “The Power of Your Words” is what affected each of these people in a way in one way or in another.  Now I have it in this book form to be able to put it in the hands of your listeners Sid and I’m very persuaded that God will use it mightily to praise the God.

Sid: I want to get specific I’m one of these type of people Don. Let’s suppose there’s someone listening to us right now that’s got arthritis in their knees; what would you tell them to start doing.

Don:  Well, I would encourage them to speak the word only.  Jesus said in Matthew chapter 8 that when that Centurion said “Speak the word only and my servant will be healed.”  Jesus said “This is the greatest faith I’ve found I’ve found in all Israel.”  What was so great about it was the fact that he said “Speak the word.”  That speak the word only was the principal that Jesus honored and He exalted He said “This is the greatest faith of all that I’ve found in all Israel.”  And I would say speak the word not the negative problem speak the word not the defeat circumstances; speak the word not their sickness and their oppressions but let the word prevail.  I believe that the word that said He’d watch over his word to perform it; that no word that goes out of my mouth will return to me void will make that word good. That’s why I’m quite persuaded with all my heart that this principal that you’re offering with book will revolutionize and change people for the glory of God not just some little magic formulas but just speak the word amen.  That’s the power of that word itself.

Sid: Don tell us your never again list.

Don:  Never again will I confess I can’t for I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  Never again shall I confess lack for my God shall supply all my need in riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.  Never again will I confess fear that for God has not given me the spirit of fear but a power and love and a sound mind.  Never again will I confess doubt and a lack of faith for God has given to every man the measure of faith.  Never again shall I confess weakness for the Lord is the strength of my life. And the people that know their God shall be strong and do exploits.  Never again will I confess the supremacy of Satan over my life for greater is He who’s in me than he who’s in the world.  Never again will I confess defeat because God always causes me to triumph in Christ Jesus.  Never again will I confess lack of wisdom for Christ Jesus has made unto me wisdom from God. Never again will I confess the domination of sickness over my life for with His stripes I am healed, and Jesus Himself took my infirmities and bared my sicknesses.
