Raise the Roof
Richard Roberts One of Jesus’ miracles that stands out most vividly to me is the story of the four friends who carried a paralyzed man to the Lord so he could receive his healing. You’ll find the story in Luke 5:17–26. The men literally “raised the roof” to help their sick friend. The man had […]
Emerging Icebergs
From the archives of Oral Roberts I am sure that God who began the good work within you will keep right on helping you grow in his grace until his task within you is finally finished on that day when Jesus Christ returns (Philippians 1:6 TLB). Many of us have been taught that our total […]
Expect the Extraordinary
Richard Roberts Whenever we find ourselves in a tough situation and look to God for help, we can expect Him to do the extraordinary for us just as He did many times in the Bible. That’s what happened when Joshua got in a tough spot and called upon the Lord for help. Joshua 10 tells […]
God Always Loves 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 […]
What I Am Worth
From the archives of Oral Roberts And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick (Matthew 10:7–8). In verse seven, Jesus sent the twelve disciples on their way with His power to heal sickness and disease and cast out demons. He said, As you go, preach. As you […]
God’s Will in the Storm
Richard Roberts Many times when we face difficult tests and trials, we think it’s because we’re not in God’s will. But often that’s when we’re right in the middle of it! That’s the situation the disciples faced in Luke 8. Jesus had directed them to cross the Sea of Galilee because He had a divine […]
Those ‘Ugly Days’
From the archives of Evelyn Roberts “You sure look pretty in that dress!” I told a friend one day. “I was having one of those ‘ugly days,’ she said, and you’ve made me feel so much better!” Every day we come in contact with people who are suffering from feelings of depression, worthlessness, and discouragement. […]
A Wobbly Landing
From the archives of Oral Roberts There’s a wonderful Scripture in Psalm 37:5 that says, Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Trusting in God means completely committing yourself to Him. An outstanding pilot said that his greatest problem in learning to fly was learning […]
The Reason I Know
Richard Roberts How do I know there is a God? Psalm 19:1 NKJV says, The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. When I stand on the shore of the ocean and look over that broad blue expanse into infinity, somehow I know there is a God. When I look […]
God’s Way
Lindsay Roberts God tells us in Malachi 3:10 to bring our tithes into the storehouse. He says, Prove me now herewith…if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And in verse 11 He says, I will rebuke […]
