Learn to Pray
Richard Roberts – First of two parts It’s easy to be strong in the Lord on Sunday. It’s easy to smile on Sunday morning when the preacher is preaching and the choir is singing, when praise and worship is being led. You say hello to somebody you haven’t seen for seven days. What about the […]
‘Jim, This Is Jesus’
From the archives of Oral Roberts There was a successful man, with a lovely wife and children, who was doing well in business. He had a life that many people envied. One day he stopped going to church. For him, suddenly nothing was right. The sermon wasn’t right, the singing wasn’t right, the praying wasn’t […]
It’s Hard to Believe
From the archives of Oral Roberts Faith looks up to God who is the limitless God, who is the incomparable God, the God who scooped out the bed for the oceans, who flung the stars from His fingertips, who sculptured the mountains and hung the stars in space. Faith looks up and over the opposition […]
Life — After Death!
Lindsay Roberts Within an hour after our beloved son, Richard Oral, died — after living only 36 hours — I found myself heading out the door of the hospital.

‘Believe on Him’
Richard Roberts Acts 16 tells a wonderful story of how the apostle Paul and Silas went to the city of Philippi. As they were going each day to prayer, there was a demon-possessed woman who had a spirit of divination — a fortune-teller, a sorcerer — who said, These men are the servants of the […]
God Is in the Seed
Lindsay Roberts As a child I was taught giving and receiving, planting seeds and expecting God to multiply them. My mother taught me that when we get a blessing, we don’t thank our lucky stars; we thank God. When we plant our seed and there is a financial turnaround, we would be robbing God of […]
The Word of God in Us
Richard Roberts As I lifted my Bible one morning, it fell open to Proverbs, and I began to read the words of Solomon. This book tells how we are to keep the Word of God in our hearts, how we are supposed to let the Word of God in our hearts, how we are supposed […]

From the archives of Evelyn Roberts Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain. — John 15:16 The first step toward becoming a Christian is to be chosen by the Lord. I used to think that […]
