Develop a Habit of “Putting On” the Word of God Every Day
Richard Roberts Do you brush your teeth every day? Do you put on your clothes every day? I certainly do. But when we were just babies, a baby had to have help and then learn to do those things by developing a habit of doing them. When children are young, parents commonly check on their […]
“Make a Decision to Be Joyful”
Lindsay Roberts Nehemiah 8:10 says, The joy of the Lord is your strength. And James 1:2–3 tells you to count it all joy when you fall into different kinds of trials and tests, for the trying of your faith works patience. The circumstances you are facing today may not be joyful, but the Bible says […]
Forgiven and Healed!
From the archives of Oral Roberts One day, I was reading this scripture in 1 Peter 2:24 which says, “His own self bare our sins in his [Jesus] own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by his stripes ye were healed.” The Lord spoke to me and […]
Lightning Flashes
From the archives of Oral Roberts Nothing is more important than reading God’s Word. The psalmist said, Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105 NRS). Have you ever walked along a road in the darkness of night when you could hardly see in front of you? […]
Your Words Will Return to You!

Opposition Makes You Strong
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 […]
The Ultimate Advantage
Richard Roberts One of my good friends is the world-renowned, retired tennis player, and pastor, Margaret Court of Australia. Margaret won sixty-six Grand Slam events during her career ― more than any other player in history. She told me that she won most of her matches before she ever walked onto the court because her […]
Who’s in Charge?
From the archives of Oral Roberts The story is told of an old Indian in the Southwest who gave his life to Christ. A few weeks later a man asked him, “How are you getting along in your Christian life?” “Fine,” said the Indian, “but I seem to have two dogs in me. One is […]
