Will It Pass the Test of Time?
Richard Roberts God is the same yesterday, today and forever. The absolute principles of His will and His Word bear the same quality: they last and they do not change. God’s will for your life is that you believe in Jesus and have eternal life. As John 3:16 tells us, “For God so loved the […]
God Loves You
From the archives of Evelyn Roberts When my husband, Oral, first proposed to me, he used words like these: “My huge, happy, hilarious heart is throbbing tumultuously, tremendously, triumphantly in a lingering, lasting, long-lived love for you. As I gaze into your beauteous, bounteous, beaming eyes, I am literally lost in a daring, delightful dream […]
The Word of God
From the archives of Oral Roberts The Bible is not a scattered bunch of sayings, written at random by both somebodies and nobodies. It is the most carefully documented book of all. Second Timothy 3:16 NIV tells us: All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. God inspired […]
The Reading of the Will
Lindsay Roberts After someone dies, their will is read so that those close to the person will know what has been left to them.

From the archives of Oral Roberts – Second of two 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 […]
The Uncontainable Blessing
From the archives of Oral Roberts – First of two parts God gave a promise to His people in Malachi 3:10–11 that is a promise for you and me today. The Bible teaches that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He doesn’t change. His promises are true and will always be true. Today, […]
The Seed Eater Rebuked
Lindsay Roberts One time, while Richard and I were doing a television program, a call came in to the Abundant Life Prayer Group and a woman shared a testimony that, to me, is a perfect example of God rebuking the devourer―or, the seed eater―in our lives. Actually, the story began when this woman called the […]
Called To Be an Original
From the archives of Oral Roberts God has a plan and a purpose for each of our lives. And He calls us to be an original, not a clone of someone else. Second Peter 1:10 says, Give diligence to make your calling and election sure. My advice to you as you seek to know and […]
God Fights Our Battles
Lindsay Roberts Second Chronicles 20 tells the story of a great and miraculous victory King Jehoshaphat of Judah won when he was threatened by three enemy armies.
