Living Life on the Edge
Richard Roberts My dad used to tell a story about the Wells, Fargo & Company stage line and their search for stagecoach drivers back in the 1800’s. The company had a route through the Rocky Mountains, and because of the narrow, rocky trails the stages traveled, the company lost a lot of stagecoaches. Many men […]
Recovering Your Losses
From the archives of Oral Roberts – Second of two parts The second supernatural way to recover your loses is to encourage yourself in the Lord. David turned to God for strength (I Samuel 30:6). You can’t handle discouragement and loss alone. Psalm 27:14 says, Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he […]
When You Suffer Losses
From the archives of Oral Roberts – First of two parts Have you ever been so heartbroken that you wept until you could weep no more? Anyone who has lost a spouse or a family member or a dream knows what it is to have tears flow until you say, “I can’t cry anymore. I’ve […]
God’s Benefits!
Lindsay Roberts You have wonderful benefits as a Christian. Psalm 103:3–5 NKJV says that God forgives all your iniquities … heals all your diseases … redeems your life from destruction … crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies … [and] satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

‘Take Up Your Bed and Walk!’
Richard Roberts – Second of two parts The second challenge Jesus gave the lame man at the pool of Bethesda was, “Take up your bed (John 5:8 NKJV). His bed had carried him for thirty-eight years. Now it was time for him to carry the bed. The same is true for us. It’s time for […]
Rise Up on the Inside
Richard Roberts – First of two parts Some people say that God helps those who help themselves. But as I read my Bible, I find that God also helps those who cannot help themselves. John 5 NKJV tells of a man who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. He lay helpless by the pool […]
A Healing Jesus
Richard Roberts In Jesus’ day, leprosy was about as bad a disease as a person could get. Lepers were shunned and sent away to die outside the city gates. It is easy to see how a leper might expect Jesus to pass him by and reject him as everyone else had done. But one leper […]
A Clear Principle for Receiving
From the archives of Oral Roberts I believe that the greatest sermon ever preached by Jesus, was The Sermon on the Mount. The last thing the Lord said in this famous sermon is found in Luke 6:38: “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, […]
Three Easy Payments
Lindsay Roberts One night, when I couldn’t sleep, I turned on the TV and watched an infomercial. These shows usually promise miracles. They’re going to fix your thighs, your backside, or your hair, or they’re trying to sell you a certain kind of cream or some other razzle-dazzle stuff. That night a guy was talking […]
From Increase to Increase
Richard Roberts Are you where you want to be today? Or, like most of us, is there still something MORE that you would like to be, to do, to accomplish for God? The good news is that God wants to meet that need… He wants you to have exceedingly, abundantly above all you can ask […]
