Doing the Impossible
From the archives of Oral Roberts Have you ever been in a rut, but you didn’t know what to do to get out of it? I’ve been there. The first twelve years of my ministry I tried to be like other preachers. They taught and preached, but they did not pray for people to be […]

Conforming to God’s Plan
From the archives of Evelyn Roberts The first time I met Oral Roberts — one hot summer at a camp meeting in Sulfur, Oklahoma — the Lord whispered in my heart, “You’re going to marry that man.” But, then, what was I supposed to do? How do you go about getting a man the Lord […]
No Inferior Faith
Richard Roberts Have you ever met someone who has an inferiority complex? They just don’t believe they are worth anything in this world. They don’t believe their lives amount to much and that their work is not of any value. I’ve met a lot of Christians in my life who have an inferiority complex when […]
Believe That God Wants You to Live in Faith
