How to Find Your Depth
From the archives of Oral Roberts – Third of three parts Once when I was preaching on how to find your depth, I asked the congregation to ask God what their depth was. I was stressing the necessity of trusting God to impress upon each person his depth. A week later a man said, “Brother […]
A Net-Breaking, Boat-Sinking Load
From the archives of Oral Roberts – Second of three parts Evelyn had not been able to attend the prayer meeting that night, and when I arrived home, she took one look at me and said, “Oral, you’ve done something. What was it?” When I told her I’d given our week’s salary, she said, “Honey, […]
‘I Found My Depth’
From the archives of Oral Roberts – First of three parts During the early days of our marriage, Evelyn and I were pastoring a little church, and I was going to college. There was no parsonage for the preacher, but a family in the church took us into their little five-room house. There were two […]
The Greatest Miracle
Richard Roberts We serve a God who has the power not only to save us but also to heal us, deliver us, and set us free. A story in Matthew 9 illustrates this truth: Behold, they brought to Him [Jesus] a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the […]

Lindsay Roberts One time, when I was in the grocery store, I saw a woman who looked familiar. I looked at her… then I looked again. I stared at her, and thought, I’m being so rude, but I know that woman. It was a lady who had attended one of our women’s conferences that we […]
Two Crosses
From the archives of Oral Roberts In a sense, we are not saved by just one cross, but by two ― Christ’s cross and our own. There is an intimate connection between the two. It is an error to associate the cross with the moving experience of salvation and then think that we can go […]
He’s Relevant!
Richard Roberts There’s a great question being asked across our nation today, and it’s this: Is God relevant or am I the center of the universe? Some humanist theories devoid of God will tell you that we human beings are the center of life and that God has no relevance. I’m here to proclaim to […]
They Believed Anyway
From the archives of Oral Roberts The women who had followed Jesus witnessed the brutal crucifixion of their Lord and Savior. They watched as His beaten body hung on the Cross, and they wept as they heard Him forgive the thief dying on the cross next to Him. They saw the guard thrust a spear […]
Mixing Praise and Worship
Richard Roberts Did you know that praise and worship play an important role in developing your faith? It’s true. When God promised Abraham that he and Sarah would have a son in their old age, Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. Romans 4:20 says he was strong in faith, giving glory to God. Now […]
Keep Remembering
From the archives of Oral Roberts Often when we receive a miracle from God, the devil will come and try to steal it from us. Mark 4:15 NKJV says, “When they hear, satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.” That happened to me right after my healing from […]
