RR: We have two very special guests tonight, the founders of this ministry and Oral Roberts University, Oral and Evelyn Roberts, my parents, are guests on our program tonight.  Hallelujah!  Be on in a few minute’s time.

LR: We’re ready for a party.

RR: Lynwood, what do you have?

LW: We have a party animal down in Ocala, Florida, who already received his healing.  He’s 74 years young.  He is a writer of Christian literature.  Now Jonathan had arthritis and was very severe for 17 years, and it hurt him to bend his knees.  But when  you gave a word of knowledge about arthritis, Jonathan bent down on his knees in front of his television, laid his hands on yours to receive his healing.  Jonathan is on the phone right now.

RR: Hello, Jonathan.

J: Hi, Richard.

RR: How are you tonight?

J: Rather emotional.

RR: Rather emotional.  What happened, Jonathan?  Tell me what happened when you got on your knees.

J: Well, I live in Ocala, and you had mentioned a production manager of one of the stations here in Ocala.

RR: Yes, I did.

J: They found this town, you know, you had mentioned the healing. And I was sitting in my recliner, which is about seven feet away from the TV.  It’s on the floor.  It’s on a pedestal.  So when you said, “Reach your hands out,” I had to get on my knees to do it because I had to bend down.  It was either hurt my back or hurt my knees.  And I’m used to the pain.  But I did.  And I put my hands over yours.  And I’m saying, “Hurry up, Richard.  Bind that thing any way.”

What happened is, you did, and you said to me, “Get up and walk.”  I got up, and the first time I got up without grabbing something and pulling myself erect.  And I didn’t want to walk, I wanted to run.  And I’m limited by the space between the front door and my big hall, but I kept doing, you know, knee bends, exercise, boom, and no pain.

RR: No pain?

J: No sir.

RR:  And it’s been 17 years?

J: I retired from federal law enforcement 17 years ago because I couldn’t negotiate steps.  I’m not in a walker.  I’m not in braces or anything, but that pain has been with me all this time.

RR: How do you feel now, Jonathan?

LR: But you said every time the devil started something, you didn’t say every time Robin started something.  See, and that’s the thing.

RR: Or every time one of the children started something.

LR: Yeah.  You see, we don’t wrestle with flesh and blood, but principalities, powers and rulers of darkness.  This is a spirit. You know, according to the Bible, if God created marriage, then that’s something the devil wants to tear down.  Anything that God does, Satan is against.  All right, if God created marriage, Satan is against you having a happy marriage.

So he’s going to use everything in his power to destroy you.  But if we just look at it person to person and not recognize that this is not a fleshly battle, this isn’t a Richard and Lindsay thing.  This is a spiritual battle, we don’t wrestle flesh and blood, but this is a spiritual battle and Satan has strategically set up forces against us to destroy marriages, then you’ve got to break that in the spirit.

RG: You’ve got to do it quickly too because the Bible says, “If not, a root of bitterness will spring up and defile your marriage.  It will bring sickness to your body.”  A lot of people are not healed today, Richard, as you well knows, because of unforgiveness on the inside.

LR: I believe that.

MG: You know, I want to make sure I put this word in here, the scripture says as Christians we should cast out devils.  And I tell the married people, you’re casting out the wrong thing. Instead of casting out your wife or casting out your husband, you need to cast out the devil.  You’re resisting the wrong thing. The Bible says, “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” When we walk in unforgiveness, we are assisting the devil instead of resisting him.  So we’ve got to make sure we’re casting out the wrong thing.

LR: You’re helping the wrong team.

RR: What you’re saying is so scriptural because in Mark, chapter 11, he said it.  “And when you stand praying, forgive.”

LR: Forgive.

RR: Now a lot of people, they want to hold it and they want to just, “Well, God, God, God,” want to hold it, and, “God, God.”  No.  He said, “When you stand praying, forgive if you ought against someone.”  If you want God to forgive you, because if you don’t forgive, then you’re not going to receive forgiveness.  Well, I sure want to receive forgiveness from God.  Okay, God, I want to forgive this person.  I want to forgive them right now.  And sometimes it’s hard to do.

RR: Oh, hallelujah!

LR: Your voice is totally back.

MACK: My voice is good and strong.  I tell you, I’m back at work.

RR: Back at work.

MACK: Back at work.

RR: Oh, take that, devil, in Jesus’ name.  Glory to God.

MACK: Yes, praise God, praise God.

RR: Hallelujah!

LR: They overcame him by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony.  Hallelujah!

RR: I’ll tell you, Lindsay, anybody with cancer in your body, stretch your hands out toward my hands or walk over and lay your hands right now oh, Lindsay, here comes that

LR: Into agreement with this prayer.

RR: Every time, every time I put my hands up like this on television, I feel a burning heat begin to come into my hands. Friend, that’s the anointing of God.  Reach out and touch right now in Jesus’ name.  I come against this cancer and, by the way, there’s an ear drum being healed right now.  Ear drum being healed right now, in Jesus’ name.  You can check your hearing right now.

It’s changing right now as you’re watching me.  And, also, there’s a person who has injured your ribs.  In fact, you’ve broken ribs and in your sternum.  God’s healing you right now.  You with cancer, touch my hands right now.  In the authority of Jesus’ name, I bind and rebuke this cancer.  I command it to leave you.

You foul tormenting thing, in Jesus’ mighty name, you foul blood disease, and you come out in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  O Lord, I give you praise and glory and honor in Jesus’ mighty name.  Somebody give the Lord praise. I’ll tell you, the power of God is moving tonight, Lindsay.

If you need prayer, the Abundant Life Prayer Group is ready to receive your call.  If you have a testimony, call us at 918-495-7777.  Pastors Robin and Marilyn Gool of Victory Christian Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, both graduates of Oral Roberts University, are here.  We’re going to continue just exactly as God is leading us tonight.  So far I’ve not done anything that I’d planned to do.  But stay tuned right now.  Here are some important messages just for you.

JAMES: Oh, I’m excellent.

RR: James, what happened last night when I gave that word of knowledge?

JAMES: Oh, about eight years ago I had some back problems, and the doctors had told me that a couple of my discs were out in my back and as a result of it was pinching some nerves which numbed my whole left leg.

RR: Now you got the injury to your back about eight years ago.

JAMES: Yeah.  And, see, about a month ago I was doing some steel work and I hurt my back even worse.  So the doctors told me I was looking at surgery on my back.

RR: What did you feel last night when we prayed?

JAMES: I felt this heat just going through my whole back and through my whole leg.

RR: Your back and your leg?

JAMES: Do what?

RR: Your back and your leg?

JAMES: Yeah.  And when you gave the word of healing, my pain and everything just vanished.

LR: Glory to God.

RR: Gone?

JAMES: Yes, completely gone.  When I

RR: What difference can you tell, James?

JAMES: Well, I went to work today, and I was bouncing around just like a jack rabbit.

LR: Hallelujah!

RR: Oh, that’s wonderful, James.  Thank you for calling.  Thank you for calling.  Lindsay.

LR: Eight years, isn’t that exciting?  Well, I tell you, if you’re back hurt for eight years, you would be bouncing around like a jack rabbit.  Praise God for that.

RR: Here’s Annie calling from Flint, Michigan.  “Two weeks ago I was watching your program.  You gave a word of knowledge about someone’s left arm that they couldn’t move.  For six months I’ve not been able to move my left arm even above my waist.  I lost 85% of the motion and the feeling.  Then you said to put my hands on your hands.  I did.  I began to move my arm and I felt heat go down my back and through my shoulder, and now my left arm, I can move it now.  My left arm is healed.”  Glory to God.

LR: Hallelujah!

RR: Glory to God.  Lindsay, Lindsay, I tell you, people are receiving the miracle touch of Jesus.

LR: Yeah, isn’t that exciting?  Debbie called giving praise for healing tonight.  Her back, I guess you were exactly right about the backs being healed.  Praise God for that.

RR: I’ve got more backs healing tonight than I can hardly read.

RR: Is she on the phone? Laura? Hello, Laura.

LAURA: Hi. How are you?

RR: I’m just fine. You’re right here in the Tulsa area in Broken Arrow, aren’t you?

LAURA: Yes, I am.

RR: Well, you’ve always wanted to say something to Oral Roberts, Laura, about your aunt and your uncle. Now here’s your opportunity, Laura.

LAURA: Well, thank you. God bless you, Oral Roberts, and the wonderful ministry that you have.

OR: Well, thank you very much.  I know that Jesus Christ heals alcoholism just as easily as He heals a headache and that He heals cancer just as easily as He heals a headache.  My middle my younger sister, she’s older than I Jewel who brought me the healing message, “Oral, God is going to heal you of tuberculosis,” called me one day and the doctors had pronounced her with cancer. And after he had done that, why, she called me.  And when I walked in the little house, she threw her arms around me and she said, “Oral, I have cancer.”  My sister had a history of headaches, but every time she would have a headache, God would heal her.  And she would look forward to the healing when the headache struck.

And the Lord gave me a key to her.  I said, “Jewel, the Lord can heal this cancer as easily as He can heal the headache.” And a light went off in her mind that the cancer was no more to God than the headache.  And we prayed.  And I said, “You go back to the same doctor who pronounced you with that cancer.” She did.  She called me back.  She said, “Oral, it is gone.” Then she said, “It’s as easy for God to heal cancer as it is to heal a headache.”

RR: There are those who are watching right now who have been given a bad report.  They’ve got cancer in their body.  There are those who are watching tonight who are suffering with alcoholism or some kind of drug addiction and they want somebody to pray for them.  I wish you’d just stretch out your hands and pray for them right now.

OR: I will.  There are three or four things that have been going through my being that people are suffering that I must deal with right now

RR: Certainly.

OR: that I must deal with right now if it’s all right, Richard. Somebody has just hurt your wrist, and I mean injured it severely, and you’re doubling over with pain.  The power of God is going through that wrist right now.  Just start moving it, and know in your spirit that the Lord’s power is coming down upon you. Somebody who doesn’t have just a ringing in your ear but a buzzing the ringing has turned into a buzzing.  It began when you were a little child, rather small, but now you are in your fifties.  I can almost see you.  It’s almost like you have on a dark dress, and you’re wearing glasses.  And you have this buzzing, buzzing, till it’s driving you like to insanity.

RR: Mamie was watching the program last night.  “Richard, you called out a word about fingers being healed.  I claimed the healing and started moving my hand and making a fist.  All the pain, all the numbness left my hand.  My fingers are healed.”  Hallelujah. William in Jamestown, New York.  This is just from last night.  We had so many healings last night we didn’t have time to read them all.  And we had lots of live phone calls last night.”Richard, you called out a word about arms being healed.  I had a cyst taken off my right shoulder,” William says.  “Had it taken off the past summer?  I could not raise my arm without pain.  Any movement hurt me.  Then the right arm…

Suddenly you were talking about the right arm on television, and I put my right arm on the TV as you prayed.” I mean, literally he put his arm on the television.  That’s what I told people to do last night.  He put his arm on the TV.  He says, “I have no more pain in my arm.” Halleluia, halleluia.

And Jerry in Freemont, Michigan. You’re from Michigan. Do you know where Freemont is?

LR: I’ve heard of it.  I don’t know where it is.

RR: You’re supposed to know.  A word of knowledge given.

LR: could be close to.

RR: nasal passages opened up.  “I claimed it.  Instantly my nasal passages opened.”  And Jerry said he had his hand on the TV.  And also, his headache is now gone.  “The nasal passages are open, and my headache is gone too.”

LR: Praise the Lord.

RR: Father, I set my faith in agreement right now.  There are three people, you’re suffering with migraine headaches tonight, three people, and God’s healing your headache now.  How do I know?  I know because He’s giving me a word of knowledge.  Thank You, Jesus.  Oh, oh, oh, hallelujah.  There are lung conditions being healed right now.  You, who have problems with your breathing, lay your hand on your chest right now.  In the authority of the name of Jesus, I come against this satanic attack in your breathing. Lungs, emphysema, asthma, go away.  Are thou made whole and here comes the healing in the name of Jesus Christ.

Now just begin to take a deep breath.  There are seven people getting your lungs healed right now.  Seven people.  There are three headaches right now and seven lung conditions.  You’ve been breathing right off the top.  You’ve not been able to breathe deep all the way down right now, and God’s healing you, God’s healing you.  Whoever you are, I want you to get up right now and call us at the Abundant Life Prayer Group, 918-495-7777. Come on, get up and call.  Who’s the first of you seven who will call and say, “I’m one.  I got my healing in my lungs just when you prayed.”

There’s a person who has numbness on the right side of your face.  That numbness is leaving now.  And also the person. Okay, Lord.  There’s a person who fell.  You were running. I don’t know if you were running in a race, running across the room.  I don’t know.  All I know are you fallen and you injured your shin bone on your leg when you fell.  You either tripped or you hit something and you injured the bone on the front of your leg, your shin bone, and God is healing you now.  And you’ll know who you are because you were running when it happened.  You were running, and God’s healing you right now.  Whoever you are, get up and call and let us know what’s happening. Sue, do you have a testimony?

John, there are people right now that are in need of help. They’re in need of someone to pray for them.  Because you talk about a people who need a healing, people need healing who are into unforgiveness.  And I want you to just pray and minister to the people right now.  That’s what this program is about, the healing ministry.

J: The thing I want to say to you right now is this, you’ve got to be able to admit that you are offended.  That’s the first step for getting free.  Most people won’t admit it.  They’ll say, “No, I’m fine.  I’m over it.  I’ve handled it.”  Tonight as we talked, Richard and I, Lindsay and Lisa, it came back up.  The reason it came up, it’s the Holy Spirit trying to get you free.  Pride has kept you from getting free because pride has always said, “No, I’m fine.”  No, you’re not fine.  You’re wounded and you need to be able to confess it, because that’s the first step to getting free.

The next step you have to understand is, Jesus forgave you when you didn’t deserve it.  He freely forgave you.  He said that you are to forgive the way He’s forgiven you.  That means you’re to be able to forgive this person, no matter what they did to you.  I don’t care what was done to you.  Somebody says, “But you don’t know what was done to me.”  No, you don’t know what you did to Jesus.  You were the one that put Him on that cross.  I’m the one that put Him on that cross.

And I feel your hurt right now.  I feel the pain in your heart.  What Richard just said, a person that’s offended begins to isolate themself.  They begin to build up walls in their heart of protection.  But what you do is, you actually build prison walls.  It’s time to tear them down.  It’s time to allow the love of God to once again flow from your heart.

And the love of God gives when it’s not deserved.  You didn’t deserve to be saved, I didn’t deserve to be saved, but Jesus chose to save us.  And that’s what you’ve got to do tonight.  You’ve got to forgive to somebody that doesn’t deserve to be forgiven.  That’s the heart of God.  That’s what God desires to put within you.

JENNIFER: and she said, “Oh, I have that,” and so we started discussing that.  And I completely missed what you were saying about tonsillitis.  But I was taping the show for my husband because he works evenings, and when he came home we watched it, and we saw it together. And I just looked at him, and I jumped up, flew into my daughter’s bedroom, touched her.  Her fever was gone.  I came back, running into the living room, praising the Lord, and I woke her up to see that she was okay, because I had to move her from our bed to her bed.  And she said she was thirsty and she wanted some juice.

And I thought, “Oooh, you just had some before you went to bed and it burned your throat real bad.” And she said, “No, I want some.”  She drank it right down, it didn’t burn, the fever gone.  She is healed.

RR: Ah hah.

LR: God works on reruns too.

RR: Now did you hear her?  She said she was watching it live and she taped it for her husband.

LR: Hallelujah, what a good wife.  From Grand Rapids.  Jennifer, are you in Grand Rapids?  Is she there?  She’s gone.

RR: Oh, I think she’s gone.

LR: How exciting.

RR: Isn’t that wonderful?

LR: Wives are so good.

RR: Give yourself five.  Come on, give wives a good handclap.

LR: High five myself on that one.

RR: Cheryl, minister to us again in song, and then we’re going to begin to pray for the sick.  Just as the Lord leads you, Cheryl.

LR: Amen.  Hallelujah.

RR: Hallelujah.  Give her a welcome as she ministers in song.

Cheryl Salem: Thank You, Father.  Thank You, Lord.  Thank You, Father.

Cheryl Salem Sings:  “He’s a Healing Jesus”

RR: That’s why.  Come on, Lindsay.  ‘Cause He’s a healing Jesus. Like Cheryl just said, He’s a healing Jesus.  What testimony do you have, honey?  I’ve got lots of prayer requests tonight ’cause it’s prayer time.

LR: This one is so precious because my mother is Meemie to the grandchildren, and that’s thanks to Harry and Cheryl’s little boy, Roman.  We always called her Grandmama, and he said, “No, she’s my Meemie.”  And from then on, everybody picked up Meemie. And this testimony came in from a lady named Vivian, and she said

RR: It’s in Ohio.

LR: Ohio.  About four weeks ago Vivian had a stroke.  Her family took her to the hospital that Sunday morning, and at that point she did not have full use of her left hand or her arm, nor did she have her speech, it says.  Her granddaughters phoned in the Abundant Life Prayer Group since “that’s what Meemie always did for us.”

PAM: sitting there listening, and you said you didn’t understand what it was but that, you know, it was being healed.  And the very next thing that you had said was, “There is somebody watching who has a problem with hearing in the right ear.”  And then you went on to say, “It’s the inner ear, it’s the eardrum.” And I said, “Praise God, I know that was me,” because I had not been able to hear out of my right ear for years.

RR: And can you hear now?

PAM: I had infections as a child and I grew up with these  which resulted in a loss of hearing in the ear.  And then I had also had a half healing in my left ear, which that has been corrected also.  So, yes, I claimed it, and I got it, and it is healed.  And I’ve been able to hear.  In fact, my husband .

RR: Hallelujah.

PAM: whispered in my ear today and heard everything that he said.

RR: Pam, are you watching right now?

PAM: Yes, I am.  Yes, I am.  And my mother whispered in my ear today and said she loved me, and I heard that.  And it was

RR: And you’re live in Ohio, and we’re live in Oklahoma, and there’s no distance in prayer.

PAM: No, there is not.

RR: Oh, come on, somebody give God praise tonight.  Hallelujah. That’s incredible.  You know, she was speaking of Marilyn Hickey being here last night.  Listen to this.  As Marilyn was here last night, here’s a call that just came in from St. Catherine’s, Ontario, in Canada.  People are watching us in Canada.  Last night Marilyn gave a word of knowledge, and she said a word about ears ringing.  You remember that?

LR: remember.

RR: Here’s a woman, here’s Caroline in St. Catherine’s, Ontario. “After two years the ringing has stopped.”  Oh, praise God

LR: Praise the Lord.

RR: praise God, praise God  I’ll tell you, the Abundant Life Prayer Group prayer partners are standing right now standing by to receive your call for prayer.  If you need prayer, the number is 918-495-7777.  There’s a cataract in a left eye getting healed right now.  How do I know?  I know because God is giving me a word of knowledge.  There’s like a blurriness.

SPKM BILL NORDSTROM From the campus of Oral Roberts University and the City of Faith Health Care Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, today with special guests, Don Potter and Dino Kartsonakis.  Now the Oral Roberts Ministry presents Richard Roberts.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS That’s right.  No matter what it looks like, no matter what the devil is throwing at you, God, my Heavenly Father, can turn things around in your life.  And I want to welcome you to Richard Roberts Live, coming to you from Oral Roberts University, the City of Faith, the Miracle Healing Outreach Center right here in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  This is a miracle program designed to help you get your needs met.  I was studying my Bible last night and the Word of God told a tremendous story about how Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.”  They got into a boat.  They went out there on the waters of that sea of Galilee, when suddenly a storm began to stir up.  And Jesus had gone to sleep.  And  the disciples did not say what Jesus said.  They didn’t say, “Let us go over.”  They said, “We’re perishing.”  They said, “We’re going to drown.”  They said, “We’re going to die.”  And they went and woke Jesus up and said, “Jesus, don’t You even care that we’re about to perish in this great windstorm?”  You see, they forgot the words of Jesus, when Jesus said, “We’re going over to the other side.”  They said, “We’re going under.” Jesus stood up and there in that ship He rebuked the winds and rebuked the waves and He hushed the sea to sleep.  And those disciples looked at Him and said, “What matter, what matter of man, what manner of man is this?”  Jesus turned and said to them, “Where is your faith?”

And that’s the question that Jesus is asking you and me today, when are  you and I going to stand tall and use the faith that God has given us to go over and not under.  While the devil’s roar is going in your life, God is saying to you, let us go over, let us not go under.  And the ORU Orchestra and I want to bring this song to life of going over, “Let Us Go Over To The Other Side.” Hallelujah.

I’m going over to the other side.  Stay tuned for this message coming up just for you.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Welcome back.  If you just joined us, you’re watching Richard Roberts Live, coming to you from the campus of Oral Roberts University, the City of Faith and the Miracle Healing Outreach Center.  As you can see, we have begun construction on phase two.  And for your part in helping us with one square foot or however many square feet God lays on your heart to sow into this ministry, for your part in that we want to send you this magnificent Roberts Family Guide To Miracles For  The Rest Of Your Life.  It’s beautifully bound in leather.  It’s written by Oral, Evelyn, Richard and Lindsay Roberts, four authors in one book.

There you’re looking at a picture of it now.  And the way you get your copy is, not in any store because it’s not for sale.  You can’t buy it anywhere in America.  The only way you can get it is by helping us as we begin the construction now on phase two of the Healing Outreach center. We’ve been able to get the price of the construction down because we own the land and because we are doing the building ourselves. We’ve got the construction cost down to $40 a square foot.  Now that’s for the building itself.  The Journey in the Bible will come in after the building, of course, is built.
