The Cry of Faith
Richard Roberts Isn’t it good to know that when you cry out to the Lord, He hears your prayer? Now there have been times in my life when I have literally cried out with tears to the Lord. And every once in a while, a good boo-hoo cry makes you feel better. But there is […]
God’s Unfailing Word of Comfort and Strength
Richard Roberts Today, as we remember and pray for all who have been affected by attacks of terror around the world, we turn to God’s unfailing Word for comfort, strength, and the assurance that He is always with us. Psalm 34 NKJV (selected verses) “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall […]
God’s Love Zeros In
From the archives of Oral Roberts “Why doesn’t God stop all wars and violence?” someone asks. In order to stop war and violence, God would have to take away our power of choice. Then man would be like a robot. And God doesn’t want that. He wants us to freely choose to do His will. […]
The Heart of a Listening Child
From the archives of Evelyn Roberts I’ve learned that children get a lot more out of what they hear in church and Sunday school than we think they do. We never know when we’re ministering what goes into the heart of a listening child. And we never know God’s plans for that child when he […]
The Spirit of the Lord Transforms Us
Lindsay Roberts I have seen the Lord do wonderful things in people’s lives when they put themselves in a position to receive. He can literally transform us if we want to be transformed.

The definition of witness is “to testify in a cause…to affirm a fact or event…to furnish proof of…to be evidenced by conduct or speech.” According to Acts 1:8 NKJV, we are all to be witnesses of the Lord. Every […]
Put On Your Armor!
Richard Roberts The Bible tells us that our battles in life are not against flesh and blood, but against the forces of the devil. And, thank God, it also says that Jesus has given us His armor to protect us from head to toe (see Ephesians 6:11–18)! Our family puts on the armor of God […]
A Fresh Start
From the archives of Oral Roberts If there is anything that can rob you of your peace and happiness, I believe it’s nagging guilt over past mistakes and failures. Two of Jesus’ disciples, Judas and Peter, became burdened under the crushing weight of guilt. Both denied their Lord, both betrayed Him, and both suffered remorse […]
Your Attitude Affects the Outcome
Lindsay Roberts No matter what kind of situation you’re facing today, your attitude is a huge factor in what the outcome will be. It’s so easy to slip into a bad attitude. I mean, if you wake me up from a sound sleep, I’ll show you how quickly I can fall into one! Our human […]
Making Room for the Impossible
Richard Roberts All through the Bible there are examples of people who made room for the impossible by using what God had already put in their hands and allowing the power of God to move. In Exodus 14 we see Moses standing on the shore of the Red Sea, after leading two million Israelites out […]
