Are You Willing to Cast Off Your Past for God’s Future?
Lindsay Roberts – Second of five parts When Jesus heard Bartimaeus’ cry, He stopped and immediately commanded that Bartimaeus be brought to Him. The people then began to say to Bartimaeus, “Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee” (Mark 10:49). It’s amazing, isn’t it, how the crowds can change from one message to another […]
Are You Fed Up With Your Present Condition?
Lindsay Roberts – First of five parts In Mark 10, we find the wonderful story about the day that Jesus and His followers passed through Jericho. There, they encountered blind Bartimaeus sitting by the highway side begging. To me, Bartimaeus is one of the best examples we have in the entire Bible of a person […]
Praise Brings God’s Presence
Richard Roberts Are you aware that when you praise Jesus, that’s when God shows up? The Bible tells us that the Lord inhabits the praises of His people (see Psalm 22:3.) To inhabit means to “dwell within” and “move not.” In other words, when we begin to praise the Lord and to lift high the […]
God Will Always Love You
Lindsay Roberts None of us are perfect. There are times when we all make mistakes. Of course, we should always try to do what’s right, but sometimes we fall short. However, that doesn’t mean God doesn’t love us. Jesus didn’t go to the Cross for us because of our badness; He went because of His […]
Nothing Can Keep You Down
Richard Roberts There are many stories in the Bible that tell about people who had the anointing, or power, of God upon their lives. I recall one story in particular in the book of Judges about a young Hebrew named Samson, who was used by God to break the cruel grip of the Philistines off […]
Preparing To Launch Out!
From the archives of Evelyn Roberts There comes a time in your Christian life when you know God has called you to do something for Him. But between the time He calls you and the time for you to launch out into the deep and actually do it, there are often times of preparation. He […]
God Delivers from Guilt
Richard Roberts Many people are struggling under loads of guilt today, whether it be from offenses, unforgiveness, bitterness, or something else. David, the Bible says, was carrying a heavy load of guilt after Nathan, the prophet, pointed out his sins of adultery and murder. The Bible also says that David repented. He prayed: Have mercy […]
The Most Important Question
From the archives of Oral Roberts Before men knew God, His divine purposes were shrouded with mystery. But God has revealed Himself to man in the person of His Son, Jesus of Nazareth, as He lived the life of a man among men. Jesus Christ’s ministry was a ministry of revelation, for He came to […]
A Reason but Not a Right
Lindsay Roberts I remember a time a when a woman was really being abusive to me, not in a physical sense, but emotionally. I tolerated it year after year until one day it involved my children, and that was it for me. I drew the line! At that point I became frustrated, and bitterness set […]
We’re To Be Men and Women of Integrity
Richard Roberts One of the most important things that God has shown me in my life is that we are to be men and women of integrity; that we’re to keep our word. Don’t you just hate it when you see someone who says one thing and then does another? Don’t you hate it when […]
