God
has given each one of us gifts from the Holy Spirit. We are called to
exercise our gifts unto Godliness. Do not forget that His gifts and
callings are without repentance.
Paul Cain has
led a life marked by a touch of the supernatural. Before his birth, an
angel had appeared to his mother with a message from the Lord: "The
fruit of your womb is a male child. Name him Paul. He will preach the
gospel as the Apostle Paul of old."
In 1947, at the age of 18,
Paul began to hold citywide salvation and healing campaigns in tents,
civic auditoriums and churches. He became one of many prominent
preachers in a move of the Spirit known as the "Healing Revival" which
lasted from 1947 to 1958.
During the great healing revival,
Paul's ministry reached international proportions. In 1954, his manager
purchased the world's largest gospel tent from Jack Coe, and Paul toured
the country, filling it with thousands of people wherever he went. The
tent held 8,000 people.
In 1957, Paul ministered in Switzerland,
as well as Karlsruhe, Germany (sponsored by the State Church). These
meetings were attended by more than 30,000 people each night for one
week. There were many salvations and healing miracles as the Lord
confirmed His word with signs and wonders.
During the height of
his public ministry, the Lord began to speak to Paul about the excesses
of the healing-revival movement. For the next few years, Paul watched in
agony as many of the leaders of the healing-revival movement suffered
moral failures involving money, sex, and power, and lost their
ministries or seemed to die prematurely, or in infamy. By 1958, Paul had
become totally disheartened. At age 29, he was disillusioned and burned
out.
In the midst of Paul's despair and repentance, God told
him that if he kept himself from corruption and remained content with
living a humble life marked by Scripture study and prayer, one day he
would be allowed to stand before a new breed of men and women leaders.
These would be marked by simplicity, purity and remarkable
manifestations of power. Paul's obedience to God would result in him
waiting on the Lord for some 25 years... a true desert experience. Paul
calls these his "almost silent" years. However there was never a time
when he was totally out of the ministry.
Then Paul emerged in
1988 to begin a new phase of supernatural healing and prophetic
ministry. He has since traveled around the world, proclaiming the gospel
and calling the church back to purity and holiness. He has ministered
to many national and international leaders - both political leaders
(including presidents and senators) and spiritual leaders (including key
church and denominational leaders).
