Be Willing To Let Go
Lindsay Roberts One day, I received an unusual gift from a Partner of the ministry in the mail. It was a can of “Lindsay–brand” pitted olives. I thought it was a hilarious and thoughtful gift, but it also started me to thinking. To begin with, olives have a pit for a purpose. The pit is […]
The Free Gift of God
From the archives of Oral Roberts The story is told about a man who went to Heaven one day. There, he was met at the pearly gates by Saint Peter, who said, “It takes 1,000 points for you to get to Heaven. Tell me what you have done in your life so we can see […]
Good Measure
From the archives of Oral Roberts Jesus promised us, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again” (Luke 6:38). I’d like to call […]
Lottery Faith
Lindsay Roberts There was once a young man who wanted a quick fix for a problem in his life. “God,” he said, “I need a Scripture. Speak to me.” He flipped his Bible open to Matthew 27:5 NIV which said that Judas went away and hanged himself. He thought, “This scripture isn’t the solution I’m […]
Expect God’s “Now” Action
From the archives of Oral Roberts – Third of three parts Many people I know are expecting God to do something for them “someday.” Their someday may not be until Heaven!

From the archives of Oral Roberts – First of three parts The Lord recently gave me what I believe was a spiritual dream. These kinds of dreams happen to me from time to time. On this particular night, I do recall that I went to sleep with this Scripture on my mind: “Jesus Christ the […]
Look for God’s New Thing
Richard Roberts When we turn our hearts and minds from our past, we stand in a position for God to begin to do something new in our lives. As long as we are living in the past, He can’t prepare us for the future!Consider what the prophet Isaiah said: “Remember ye not the former things […]
“Now …”
From the archives of Oral Roberts – Second of three parts Throughout the Bible, we read about “now” moments as God has moved through men and women to change the course of history. In Numbers 12:13 … we hear Moses crying to the Lord, “Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.” Moses is asking […]
A Way and a River
Richard and Lindsay Roberts The prophet Isaiah gave two examples in describing the “new thing” that God desires to do in our lives: “I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert” (Isaiah 43:19). It is almost impossible to chart a course through the wilderness areas of the Bible lands. […]
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 […]
