Faith Has No Substitute
Richard Roberts – Faith Series – Second of six parts The Bible teaches that we are saved by grace through faith. Ephesians 2:8–9 states very plainly, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift if God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Yes, we’re […]
Three Assumptions
Richard Roberts – Faith Series – First of six parts The Bible makes three assumptions about your faith. Number one, the Bible tells you that you have faith.

Keep Looking for Evidence
From the archives of Oral Roberts God confirms His Word to us with evidence. Hebrews 11:1 tells us, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” As you wait for your miracle from God, look for those whom the Lord will send you to confirm to you that […]

From the archives of Oral Roberts Controversy has followed me throughout my ministry. As a result, I’ve learned that any old dead fish can float downstream, but it takes a live one to swim upstream! Early on, I decided not to be an old dead fish, but a live one. I determined to stand against […]
Overcoming Trouble
Lindsay Roberts Like most people I meet, we want to have a good life. And like many, our desires are to “live happily ever after.” But God’s Word lets us know that as long as there is a devil in this world, then there will be evil. God is good, but the devil will do […]
