Your Words Will Return to You!
Lindsay Roberts Proverbs 18:21 says, Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

From the archives of Oral Roberts – Second of two parts The second part of God’s promise in Malachi 3:10–11 is this: “I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes.” The word “devourer” can be paraphrased “seed eater.” In my mind, I picture the old serpent, the devil, slithering along on his belly, his forked […]

The Seed Eater Rebuked
Lindsay Roberts One time, while Richard and I were doing a television program, a call came in to the Abundant Life Prayer Group and a woman shared a testimony that, to me, is a perfect example of God rebuking the devourer―or, the seed eater―in our lives. Actually, the story began when this woman called the […]
