Love Has a Face
Lindsay Roberts The Bible gives us the definition of love: “Love Is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever […]
Destroying the Devil’s Works
Richard Roberts The Bible tells us that Jesus came “that he might destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8). What is a work of the devil? It’s anything that is unlike God. Sickness, disease, fear, doubt, financial problems, emotional problems, family problems ― none of this is like God. These things simply aren’t […]
Hold On for Your Loved Ones
From the archives of Oral Roberts Whenever you begin to believe for a miracle in the life of someone you love, you’re sure to meet opposition. But don’t give up! Hold on to the vision of your loved one being saved or healed because God answers unyielding faith. Someone held on for Saul of Tarsus, […]
A Parent’s Prayer
From the archives of Evelyn Roberts One of my favorite Scriptures is Matthew 18:19 NKJV. It says, “If two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.” I believe a parent’s prayers can be powerful. Over the years I have heard from […]
A Commitment of Obedience
Richard Roberts Are you running from God’s call on your life? You may be like Jonah in the Bible. God called him to go to Nineveh and preach against the wickedness of the people there. But Jonah didn’t go. Instead, he got on a ship headed toward Tarshish, which was in a totally opposite direction. […]
Be Willing To Let Go
Lindsay Roberts One day, I received an unusual gift from a Partner of the ministry in the mail. It was a can of “Lindsay–brand” pitted olives. I thought it was a hilarious and thoughtful gift, but it also started me to thinking. To begin with, olives have a pit for a purpose. The pit is […]
The Free Gift of God
From the archives of Oral Roberts The story is told about a man who went to Heaven one day. There, he was met at the pearly gates by Saint Peter, who said, “It takes 1,000 points for you to get to Heaven. Tell me what you have done in your life so we can see […]
Good Measure
From the archives of Oral Roberts Jesus promised us, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again” (Luke 6:38). I’d like to call […]
Lottery Faith
Lindsay Roberts There was once a young man who wanted a quick fix for a problem in his life. “God,” he said, “I need a Scripture. Speak to me.” He flipped his Bible open to Matthew 27:5 NIV which said that Judas went away and hanged himself. He thought, “This scripture isn’t the solution I’m […]
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 […]
