Until You Know What to Do
Richard Roberts When our firstborn son died after living only 36 hours, Lindsay and I both cried until we had no more tears. Yet we kept crying deep in our souls. We tried to pray and the words just seemed to bounce off the ceiling. We felt the devil mocking us, saying, “Now how are […]
Persistence
Lindsay Roberts When do you stop crying out to God for the miracle you need in your life? Only when you have received the miracle! Several years ago, our oldest daughter, Jordan, came to me after she had hurt her foot in the car. She said, “Mom, Pray for my foot. It hurts.” I turned […]
Enduring Hardships
Richard Roberts Do you know people who seem never to have a problem? They have plenty of money, are never sick, and everything goes right for them … but they wouldn’t know God if they met Him coming down the road? Yet you are struggling. If you know someone like this, it doesn’t take long […]
The Lord Loves Those He Can Trust
From the archives of Evelyn Roberts I told my husband Oral recently, “Honey, you know the Lord must love you a lot.” He said, “Well, I know He loves me, but why do you say that?” I said, “Well, I have a feeling that the devil went to the Lord and said, ‘Look, if You’d […]
God Will Be With You in the Time of Famine
From the archives of Oral Roberts In I Kings 18:41, we read where the prophet Elijah make a great pronouncement to King Ahab. He Says, “Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.” Let me set the stage for that announcement by Elijah because it tells us something […]
Overgrown Cucumbers
Lindsay Roberts A few years ago, I gathered a bushel-full of cucumbers I’d planted in my garden, but they were not very impressive. They were overripe and all tangled up with overgrown vines. I asked my mom to cut one open, but she said, “No these cucumbers are not good.” We couldn’t even eat them. […]
There’s a Miracle Day Coming
Richard Roberts I believe there’s a day of miracles coming for you. I don’t know precisely when that day is. Only God know! What I do know is that God promises a “miracle” season for those who plant their seeds of faith and remain faithful to God between the time they plant and the time […]
Biblical Prosperity―It’s Based on Giving AND Receiving
From the archives of Oral Roberts In Philippians 4, the Apostle Paul describes his relationship with the Philippian church in terms of “communication.” Communication involves both sending―or giving―and receiving messages. Paul says that in the beginning of this ministry, “No church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. For even in […]
The God of Increase
Lindsay Roberts God is not a God of subtraction and division. I once heard a preacher say, “He’s the God of multiplication and addition!” But how can we know our Lord is a God of increase? Is it biblical? Take a look at the promises in God’s Word: Seek first the kingdom of God and […]
A Rhythm of Sowing
Richard Roberts The apostle Paul, writing to the Philippian church, said, Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities (Philippians 4:15,16 […]
