Someone with Skin
Richard Roberts A little boy was awakened one night by a thunderstorm. Soon his dad and mother were awakened, too, by the sound of his little footsteps running down the hall. He plopped up into the middle of their bed and with big ol’ tears rolling down his cheeks, he said, “I’m scared, Daddy, I’m […]
Facing a Spiritual Showdown
From the archives of Oral Roberts After three years of drought and famine, the day came when God said, “Get up, Elijah, and go see King Ahab.” When Elijah came face-to-face with Ahab, he said, “Get your prophets. Let’s have a showdown about who God is.” Before all the people, Elijah declared, “How long halt […]
The Opinion That Counts
Richard Roberts Has someone put you down? Have you been ridiculed or rejected… slandered or libeled? Counted as a failure even before you’ve tried? If so, you’re in good company: Critics said that Vince Lombardi had only a minimal amount of football knowledge, but he led the Green Bay Packers to be the champions of […]

A Total Supply Awaits Us
From the archives of Oral Roberts – Sixth of seven parts The Apostle Paul concludes his teaching on biblical prosperity to the Philippians by saying, “My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).

In the Bible, sacrifice began with Cain and […]
God Preserves the Seed
From the archives of Oral Roberts – Fourth of seven parts The second part of God’s promise in Malachi 3:10–11 is this: “I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes.” The word devourer can be paraphrased “seed-eater.” In my mind I picture the old serpent―the devil―slithering along on his belly, his forked tongue flickering out […]

His promises in His Word are true for Christians today. Therefore, this promise in Malachi 3:10–11 is for us: Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there […]
You Need Others in Order to Experience Biblical Prosperity

That passage begins with one of the most frequently quoted verses of all time: “I can do all things through Christ […]

Biblical prosperity is, first of all, a “total prosperity.” It’s the prosperity of III John 2, which says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper […]
