A Commentary on the Life and Ministry of Walter Beuttler

by Wade Taylor
 

 

W

alter Beuttler was a teacher in the Bible School that I attended. He personally knew and walked with the Lord as few have.

I saw the effect and the outworking of the very unusual personal relationship which he maintained with the Lord. 

 

The Lord often visited the classroom as he taught, and revealed Himself and manifestly moved in the lives of the students who sat under his ministry.  As a result, my life was both challenged and changed.

He often exhorted his students to cultivate a personal, experiential knowledge of the Lord.  He used his unique spiritual walk and experiences with the Lord as a means to provoke us to begin seeking the Lord in earnest.

Through his ministry, two aspects of my spiritual life became very important.  The first was my newfound understanding of the immeasurable benefit of spending quality time “waiting upon the Lord.”  The second was my coming to know that it is possible to experience the “Manifest Presence” of the Lord.  Through his ministry, these became a reality in my life.

A spiritual principle that Walter Beuttler imparted through his classroom teaching greatly affected my spiritual life, and became a foundational principle in my ministry.

“If we build God a house of devotion,
   He will build us a house of ministry.”

I can truly testify that this principle works.

Walter Beuttler traveled extensively in overseas ministry, teaching the principles of the “Manifest Presence of the Lord,” and “Divine Guidance,” until close to the time of his death in 1974.
