Call on God
Richard Roberts God loves it when we pray, and He hears every prayer His children utter to Him. Even if all of God’s children were to call upon Him at exactly the same instant, His communication lines would never be jammed. Unlike our earthly telephone system, there are no limitations to God’s lines of communication. […]
God’s Whistle
Richard Roberts Hundreds of years ago great horses were trained in the deserts of Arabia. One trainer stood out above all the others. He used an incredible system to train horses to obey. Instead of using voice commands, he used a whistle. When travel required going long distances in the desert, a horse was needed […]
God’s Protection
Lindsay Roberts We all want to walk in God’s protection, and His Word tells us that we can. Psalm 91:11 says, He shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. But we have a part in that promise. It’s up to us to listen and obey God when He […]
Slumping
From the archives of Oral Roberts All across America people are “slumping.” What do I mean by slumping? It’s what we do when a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness comes upon us because negative situations have happened in our lives. The Israelites were slumping when, after reaching the Promised Land, they learned from ten of […]
Too Busy
Richard Roberts I’ll never forget the day years ago when a young lady walked in front of the classroom where I was teaching and interrupted me. I asked what she wanted, and she said that a 13-year-old boy in her family was going through open-heart surgery right then. We stopped the class and prayed for […]
Don’t Give Up
From the archives of Oral Roberts It’s not always easy to apologize…to begin again…to admit error…to take advice…to be unselfish…to keep on trying. It’s not always easy to be considerate and patient…to think first and act second…to forgive and forget…to admit the mistakes you make. But we’re reminded in Galatians 6:9 TLB, Let us not […]
Marching Orders
Lindsay Roberts Psalm 37:23 says, The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. One of the greatest things I’ve learned over the years is to let God set my priorities and order my steps each day. The Lord requires certain things of me, just as He does of you. So I start […]
Strength for Every Mile
Richard Roberts In Robert Frost’s famous poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” he tells about a man whom some picture as an old country doctor making a house call far out in the country after a full day’s work. Passing along the edge of the woods on that cold snowy night, he stopped […]
Hold Up Your Head
From the archives of Oral Roberts Several months ago, the Lord spoke to me in a very direct way while I was in prayer. I had my hands up as I was praying, and I was looking up. But then, the back of my neck grew tired and I put my head down. Suddenly, the […]
The Cry of Faith
Richard Roberts Isn’t it good to know that when you cry out to the Lord, He hears your prayer? Now there have been times in my life when I have literally cried out with tears to the Lord. And every once in a while, a good boo-hoo cry makes you feel better. But there is […]
