Called To Be an Original
From the archives of Oral Roberts God has a plan and a purpose for each of our lives. And He calls us to be an original, not a clone of someone else. Second Peter 1:10 says, Give diligence to make your calling and election sure. My advice to you as you seek to know and […]
God Fights Our Battles
Lindsay Roberts Second Chronicles 20 tells the story of a great and miraculous victory King Jehoshaphat of Judah won when he was threatened by three enemy armies. They were so big and powerful that he knew he couldn’t beat them. But then he received this word from the Lord: “Do not be afraid or discouraged… […]
His Doing
Richard Roberts I once heard a story about a little boy named Billy. Billy was mischievous ― “all boy” ― in his ability to get into trouble without trying. One day his mother was exhausted with all of his antics and she left him playing in the den of their home while she went upstairs […]
An Encounter with God!
Lindsay Roberts There are times in our lives when only God can change a situation. This was the case with Jacob, who was preparing to meet the brother he had tricked years before. Jacob’s name meant “deceiver, trickster, con artist,” and he had fulfilled it right up to stealing the birthright from his brother. Now […]
The Spirit of a Finisher
Richard Roberts As you look through the Bible, you will notice the spirit of a finisher throughout. God is a finisher. What He begins, He intends to finish, including what He has begun in your life. What do I mean by “finish”? Well, do you have a dream that God has put in your heart, […]
Jesus Lived in Our Skin
From the archives of Oral Roberts God touched man all through the ages, but never so much as when He came in the flesh of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus lived in our skin, breathed the air that we breathe, and walked the earth that we walk on. Hebrews 2:17 AMP says, It […]
God Is Concerned
Lindsay Roberts One of the most amazing verses in the Bible is found in Matthew 10:30 NKJV where Jesus said, “The very hairs of your head are all numbered.” Think about that! God knows us better than we know ourselves. He doesn’t just love us in a general sort of way. He’s concerned with the […]
How God Sees You
Richard Roberts When you look at your reflection in the mirror, you don’t see the same thing that God sees. You see your exterior, but God sees your heart (I Samuel 16:7). That’s how God saw Gideon when He found him cowering from the Midianites and chose him to be Israel’s deliverer. The angel of […]
God’s Treasured Possession
From the archives of Oral Roberts Do you know how special you are to God? The Bible says, You are…holy to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you…for his treasured possession (Deuteronomy 14:2 ESV). God created you. He knows your name and address and where you were born. He knows your strengths […]
God’s Precious, Priceless Treasure
Lindsay Roberts Many years ago my in-laws, Oral and Evelyn Roberts, were involved in a car accident. Although they were not injured physically, Evelyn was upset. I tried to comfort her by saying, “It was only a car, and a car can be replaced. But we can’t replace you.” She replied, “But I was carrying […]
