Expect God’s “Now” Action
From the archives of Oral Roberts – Third of three parts Many people I know are expecting God to do something for them “someday.” Their someday may not be until Heaven! That isn’t the way, however, that the apostles of Jesus felt after they had been filled with the Holy Spirit and began to preach […]
You Are in God’s “Now”
From the archives of Oral Roberts – First of three parts The Lord recently gave me what I believe was a spiritual dream. These kinds of dreams happen to me from time to time. On this particular night, I do recall that I went to sleep with this Scripture on my mind: “Jesus Christ the […]
Forgiven to Move Forward
Richard and Lindsay Roberts I praise God today for miracles. Every time I hear about a miracle from God, I say to myself, “God intends for that person to move forward!” God is the God of a second chance. He is the God of “try again.” He is the God who forgives us when we […]
Accept Jesus as Lord of Your Past
Richard and Lindsay Roberts The Bible teaches us that Jesus Christ is “the same yesterday, today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). That means that Jesus has authority over the past! There’s nothing that you have ever been or done that is beyond the reach of His loving, everlasting arms. The key issue, however, is that as […]
Look for God’s New Thing
Richard Roberts When we turn our hearts and minds from our past, we stand in a position for God to begin to do something new in our lives. As long as we are living in the past, He can’t prepare us for the future! Consider what the prophet Isaiah said: “Remember ye not the former […]
A Way and a River
Richard and Lindsay Roberts The prophet Isaiah gave two examples in describing the “new thing” that God desires to do in our lives: “I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert” (Isaiah 43:19). It is almost impossible to chart a course through the wilderness areas of the Bible lands. […]
Miracles Are for You
From the archives of Oral Roberts – “Miracles Series” – Seventh of seven parts I want you to STOP what you’re doing right now and declare this for today: “I need a miracle from God. I’m going to expect God to work a miracle on my behalf. I’m inviting Jesus to work in my life.” […]
Miracles Create New Hope
From the archives of Oral Roberts – “Miracles Series” – Sixth of seven parts Miracles bring with them an enthusiasm for life. The devil would like us to go about our day in a “no hope” way. But God wants us to begin each day expecting miracles. God didn’t create you for a life that […]
Miracles Defeat the Devil
From the archives of Oral Roberts – “Miracles Series” – Fifth of seven parts Years ago, during an evangelistic crusade we were conducting in a B-29 hangar in Goldsboro, North Carolina, I experienced unusually strong spiritual opposition one night as I began to preach. The great hangar, which seated seven or eight thousand people, was […]
A Miracle Settles the Issue
From the archives of Oral Roberts – “Miracles Series” – Fourth of seven parts After the lame man was healed, Peter and John were called before the high priest and other religious leaders in Jerusalem for preaching about Jesus Christ. (It’s still the same today― the preaching of Jesus and healing miracles make many so-called […]
