‘Take Up Your Bed and Walk!’
Richard Roberts – Second of two parts The second challenge Jesus gave the lame man at the pool of Bethesda was, “Take up your bed (John 5:8 NKJV). His bed had carried him for thirty-eight years. Now it was time for him to carry the bed. The same is true for us. It’s time for […]
Rise Up on the Inside
Richard Roberts – First of two parts Some people say that God helps those who help themselves. But as I read my Bible, I find that God also helps those who cannot help themselves. John 5 NKJV tells of a man who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. He lay helpless by the pool […]

Richard Roberts In Jesus’ day, leprosy was about as bad a disease as a person could get. Lepers were shunned and sent away to die outside the city gates. It is easy to see how a leper might expect Jesus to pass him by and reject him as everyone else had done. But one leper […]

A Clear Principle for Receiving
From the archives of Oral Roberts I believe that the greatest sermon ever preached by Jesus, was The Sermon on the Mount.

Three Easy Payments

From the archives of Oral Roberts Luke 6:38 is one of the great promises of the Bible: “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.” How does God give to you? He gives to you through people. A man […]
A Thousand Meals
Lindsay Roberts There’s an amazing story in the Bible that shows God can supply our natural needs in supernatural ways. In 1 Kings 17 NIV, the prophet Elijah meets a widow who has almost run out of food. He asks her for some bread to eat. “As surely as the Lord our God lives,” she […]
A Person of Belief
Richard Roberts Unbelief kept many people from receiving their miracle when Jesus walked the earth. Matthew 13:54–58 NLT tells how the people in Jesus’ hometown rejected Him because of their unbelief: He returned to Nazareth, his hometown. When he taught there in the synagogue, everyone was astonished and said, “Where does he get his wisdom […]
