God’s Wisdom
From the archives of Evelyn Roberts Many people I meet view God as a harsh judge who is just waiting to pronounce a sentence upon them. If we think of God like that, we’ll not have His wisdom. Wisdom is rooted in having the right understanding of God, which is knowing that God is a […]
A Direct Relationship
Richard Roberts I believe very deeply that when you find an absence of spiritual power, you will find an absence of strong effective prayer. Prayer and spiritual power are linked together. You simply cannot ― and do not ― have spiritual power without prayer. The same line you call God on is the line He […]
He Is Lord ― He Is Lord Over All
From the archives of Oral Roberts There’s a chorus that has been popular for many years that goes, “He is Lord, He is Lord, He has risen from the dead and He is Lord. Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” What does it mean for Jesus to be […]
Is Your Faith Moving?
From the archives of Oral Roberts Have you ever reached the point where you think your miracle will never come? A member of our Partner family once told my parents how they had been at that point where they thought their miracle would never come. The man was driving 120 miles a day to work […]

Are You Willing to Cry Out to God in Faith?
Lindsay Roberts – Third of five parts When Jesus passed through Jericho with His disciples one day, Bartimaeus ― a blind beggar sitting by the side of the road ― did something with the dissatisfaction he felt in his life. The Bible says, “He began to cry out, and say, ‘Jesus, thou son of David, […]
Are You Willing to Cast off Your Past for God’s Future?
Lindsay Roberts – Second of five parts When Jesus heard Bartimaeus’ cry, He stopped and immediately commanded that Bartimaeus be brought to Him. The people then began to say to Bartimaeus, “Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee” (Mark 10:49). It’s amazing, isn’t it, how the crowds can change from one message to another […]
Are You Fed Up With Your Present Condition?
Lindsay Roberts – First of five parts In Mark 10, we find the wonderful story about the day that Jesus and His followers passed through Jericho. There, they encountered blind Bartimaeus sitting by the highway side begging. To me, Bartimaeus is one of the best examples we have in the entire Bible of a person […]
