The Tasbih God Told Me to Share — Holy Spirit Guidance

The teachings of Kathryn Kuhlman emphasize that the universal human longing for connection with the Divine—a “holy hunger”—is the evidence of God’s own Spirit stirring the soul. While people often chase success, possessions, or noise to fill this “God-shaped void,” Kuhlman asserts that true rest and fulfillment are found only in Him.

God, in His infinite wisdom, has provided gifts, holy practices, and sacred words that serve as bridges between human limitations and His divinity. The message centers on one such practice: the use of prayer beads (or the Tasbih/Taspia) paired with a specific, powerful declaration of glory, which Kuhlman presents as a “divine technology” for the soul.

1. The Power of Simple Faith: The Declaration “Subhan Allah”

Kuhlman reveals that the key to unlocking profound spiritual power lies not in long, complicated prayers or theological degrees, but in the simplicity of truth. She focuses on the phrase “Subhan Allah” (Glory be to God).

The Universal Truth Contained in Three Words

The power of “Subhan Allah” does not reside in the syllables themselves, but in the “universe shaking truth” they contain. When this phrase is uttered, the believer is not asking for provision or healing; they are performing a far more fundamental act: aligning their entire being with the ultimate, transcendent reality of God’s absolute and perfect holiness.

This declaration proclaims that God is “above,” “beyond,” and “separate” from all limitations, including chaos, sickness, and confusion.

• Spiritual Reorientation: It is the prayer that does not change God’s mind, but radically changes your perspective. It lifts the eyes from the problem and fixes them upon the “problem solver”.
• Cosmic Chorus: “Subhan Allah” is the very language of the angels around the throne (“Holy, holy, holy”). When a believer speaks this Taspia, they join their voice to the eternal, cosmic chorus of heaven, aligning their “heartbeat with the rhythm of the universe”.
• Spiritual Diamond: The phrase is likened to a simple, flawless diamond that “explodes into a thousand points of brilliant refracting color” when hit by God’s light, containing the entirety of His majesty.

2. The Tasbih: An Anchor for the Wandering Mind

For centuries, believers have used prayer beads—the Tasbih—to count these praises. Kuhlman explains the profound utility of this physical tool for our frail human nature:

• Anchor and Focus: The physical act of holding the beads and repeating the rhythm “quietens the noisy soul” and “focuses the wandering mind”.
• Intentionality over Ritual: This is not “vain repetition” if the heart is engaged. When spoken in faith, the rhythm acts like a “steady drum beat drowning out the cacophony of the world” until the only audible sound is the truth: “Glory be to God”.
• Doorway to Presence: In this “sacred space” of focused praise, the words cease to be mere words and become an atmosphere, a door to the very presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

3. The Divine Agent: The Holy Spirit, The Remembrancer

The powerful secret to the Tasbih is that the words themselves are “never spoken alone”. The physical vessel and the phrase remain “dead things” without the breath of the Holy Spirit, who is not a force or energy, but the “third person of the Godhead”.

• The Power and the Wind: The Holy Spirit is the “wind that carries” our words to the throne of grace. He is the “divine electricity” that flows through the wire of prayer, bringing light, power, and life.
• The Sacred Ministry: Jesus promised the Comforter would be the Remembrancer. His sacred work is not primarily to give new information, but to “make the old information come alive”.
• Igniting Truth: When the believer, in faith, utters “Glory be to God,” they are putting themselves “in the path of the remembrancer” and giving Him something to work with. The Spirit of Truth rushes upon those words and ignites them, searing the reality of God’s glory into the believer’s spirit.

4. The Divine Mechanics: Activating Spiritual Law

Faith is not passive, but an active, deliberate reaching out. Kuhlman illustrates the “divine mechanics” of how glory touches earth:

• Holding Out the Cup: The Taspia is the cup of our faith. When the believer chooses, by an act of will, to focus on God’s glory instead of the problem and begins to praise, they are holding out their cup.
• Spiritual Law: The moment this deliberate choice of worship is made, the believer activates a spiritual law as real as gravity, positioning themselves “under the spout where the glory flows”.
• The Overflow: The Holy Spirit, who is waiting and longing for this invitation, comes like a “mighty gentle river” and fills that cup to overflowing. The words are no longer human words, but His prayer groaning within us.
• Power in Yieldedness: The ultimate power released is the overflow of God’s life. The secret is never in the repetition, but in the “yieldedness” and the Holy Spirit “supercharging” the obedient act of worship.

The result is the manifestation of God’s creative power to touch broken cells, bring a stillness to the soul, and recreate what is shattered.
