- Almost 30 years ago a good friend of mine gave me several reel recordings of sister Aimee Semple McPherson preaching. These he had in his possession as well, for close to 30 years!
I hope these recordings will be a blessing after all this time in storage to the Body of Christ worldwide.
This message entitled "My Life Story - From Milkpail to Pulpit" was given by Aimee McPherson, I assume, at Angelus Temple, in Los Angeles, CA.
I was Saved in a Foursquare Church in Abilene,Texas. I attended The Foursquare
Bible College. I served My Lord as a Foursquare Minister. I am forever grateful to My God for This Awesome, Wonderful, Mighty Minister of The Gospel ...
Aimee Semple McPherson.
Loved it so much!!! Glory hallelujah!!! Amen!!!✝️♥️🕊️
I wish God could use me the way He used Aimee.
Aimee was quite the charismatic character. I believe she believed what she preached. 🙂
May 1926, McPherson disappeared and was thought to have been drowned while swimming off the California coast. A month later she turned up in Mexico, claiming to have been kidnapped, but the evidence led most people to believe that she had an affair with a former employee, Kenneth Ormiston, who was married at the time. The two had been seen together earlier in the year during Aimee McPherson’s trip to Europe. At the same time Aimee sailed for Europe, Ormiston disappeared from his job, and his wife, Ruth, registered a missing-person report at police headquarters. She told police a certain prominent woman was responsible for her husband’s disappearance (Lately Thomas, The Vanishing Evangelist, p. 29). They had also been seen together checking into the same hotels at various times in California, after her return from Europe, prior to the alleged kidnapping. Though McPherson claimed to have wandered for 14 hours across roughly 20 miles of cruel desert covered with mesquite, cactus, and catclaw to escape her captors, when she was found she showed no sign of having been through such an ordeal. Her shoes were not scuffed or worn; there were grass stains on the insteps (there was no grass in the desert through which she claims to have wandered); she was not dehydrated or sunburned; her lips were not parched, cracked, or swollen; her tongue was not swollen; her color was normal; her dress was not torn and bore no dust or perspiration stains. The dress collar and cuffs, though white in color, were barely soiled. Further, she was wearing a watch her mother had given her-a watch she had not taken with her to the beach! (Epstein, Sister Aimee, p. 299; Thomas, The Vanishing Evangelist, p. 59,66,78). Aimee told reporters that her ankles were bruised and torn by ropes from her captivity, but there had been no sign of such injuries when she was examined. An exhaustive search was made to find the adobe shack with a wooden floor where she claimed she had been held captive and which she described in detail to the authorities, but no such shack was found in a 46-square-mile area. Experienced desert men and trackers (one had ridden that country as a cowboy for 37 years, another for 20), who attempted to find her attackers, traced her footsteps, and they found where she apparently had gotten out of an automobile on a road not far from where she was found. The senior tracker testified that he examined every foot of the ground over which she had claimed to have walked and that her tracks had been found nowhere. As for the shack, he said: “I do not know of an adobe house such as the one described by Mrs. McPherson within a hundred and fifty miles of Agua Prieta, and I know every house in this vast area” (Lately, The Vanishing Evangelist, p. 84). A grocery receipt signed by McPherson was found in a Carmel, California, cottage where it appears Aimee had met Ormiston during the time she was alleged to have been kidnapped. Several eye-witnesses testified that they saw the two together during that period.
The year after this episode, McPherson rejected the social taboos preached against by Bible-believing churches of that day. She bobbed her hair and started drinking, dancing, and wearing short skirts. In her early years she had preached against such things. Her choir director, Gladwyn Nichols, and the entire 300-member choir resigned because of her lifestyle. He told the press that they left because of “Aimee’s surrender to worldliness-her wardrobe of fancy gowns and short skirts, jewelry, furs, her new infatuation with cosmetics and bobbed hair, all specifically condemned by the Scriptures” (Robert Bahr, Least of All Saints, p. 259).
Thanks for your rather lengthy expose on the later life of sister McPherson! While she certainly was not without reproach and may have had a tarnished character in several ways, yet the Lord used her greatly in the time period that she lived to bring others to the saving knowledge of the Lord and a deeper understanding of the Full Gospel. Like many of the "Healing evangelists" that followed her in the 1940's, although some of their integrity was "spotted," yet the Lord used them to open up many truths in the Gospel that had previously been overlooked! As one of my late spiritual fathers, Walter Beuttler, used to say, "Eat the meat and spit out the bones!" We don't excuse their shortcomings, but are still thankful for their lives and we "press on toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus..."
Haters can only hate.
The world we live in!
Very sad!
I was a student at LIFE - these are very special to me as well as Katheryn K’s videos. If there are more please let me know somehow - God Bless
Hi Kelly Roberts, Yes... I think I have a total of around 20 more audios to get out yet of sister Aimee!
Please do!
Aimee---the real deal!
Love her🩷 Glory to God!

🤣🤣🤣😄🤣😄😄😄🤣😁
I think her point was that she associated Christianity with less educated people.
