LR: See, I had to get into a position to receive, and I receive that.  And, you know, I was going through the motions and working my way through it, and it dawned on me, “Why am I doing this?  Am I ready to get rid of this?  Are you ready to get rid of this thing?”  You need to make a Holy Ghost decision that instead of just putting up with it or tolerating it or, you know, hanging in there.  In Jesus’ name, get rid of it.  If it’s not from God, get rid of it.  Just make a decision, “I’m not going to put up with this any longer.”  You know, the pain stopped in my throat, just gone.

RR: And your voice started coming back immediately.

LR: I started talking.  In fact, your dad and I started working.  We worked for about another hour and a half.  And, praise God, because all of the sudden my strength came back, the pain stopped.  My voice came back to this, which is like a major improvement when you have nothing.  Oh, I was so glad to talk again.  But the thing was, I recognized inside me I didn’t have to tolerate that anymore, and I made a decision.

I want to encourage you today and all through this program, make a decision not to tolerate the junk that Satan throws at you, but to believe God and expect a miracle.

RR: Amen.  If you need further prayer, the Abundant Life Prayer Group is ready to receive your call, 918-495-7777.  Our very special guests tonight are the chancellor and founders of this university and this ministry, my father and mother, Oral and Evelyn Roberts.  Stay tuned right where you are and don’t you dare touch that dial.

ANNOUNCER: It is from tiny drops of water flowing together in explosive harmony that the great Niagara is harnessed into a course of life-giving power.  And everything that exists today or is a hope for the future must originate from something and begin somewhere.  There must be a source, there must be a seed.

In his new book, The Source, The Seed, The Answer, Richard Roberts shares the secrets he has learned about the eternal principles of seedtime and harvest, of sowing and reaping seeds of faith to receive a miracle harvest in every area of your life.

Firmly based on the Word of God, this book will show you why sowing seeds of faith is one of the most powerful forces on the face of the earth.

RR: I pray for strength.  I pray for, for you to do exactly what God has called you to do for the rest of your life and for you to have the assurance that it’s God.  I pray it now.  And for those others of you who are watching tonight who’ve lost limbs, in Jesus’ name, I pray for you that the strength and the same courage that Gary called out for will come into your life, in Jesus’ name.  Dad, I know you have a word.

OR: Well, I just thank you, Gary, and thank you for calling.

G: I thank you, Oral.

OR: All right.  We give God the glory.  Let’s all give Him the glory.

G: You’ve got it.

RR: Gary, thank you so much for calling in tonight.

OR: Richard, the Lord has been dealing with me very strongly, and I don’t know whether this will be in place or not, but I feel like doing it.  There is, there is a man who is a rapist.  You have been in prison three or four times.  You’re now out on probation. I don’t know where you live.  I don’t know where you are.  And you have been fighting this battle within yourself.  You’d win it, and then you’d lose it.  And now then, you’re at a turn, turning point in your life.

And the Spirit spoke to me about you that the past two weeks you have been repenting before God.  You’ve repented many times, but it really wasn’t repentance.  But from the guts of your being, you’ve been calling on God to take this thing out of you because if it isn’t taken out, they are going to take you away from this earth.  And the Lord loves you.

And I’m praying right now by the name of Jesus and the authority of His name that that spirit of violence is cast out of you, removed from you, and the Spirit of God comes into your being, into your brain cells, into your soul, into every fiber of your being, so that you now want to be normal.  And I feel it.

Now it’s not going to be happening real suddenly because people won’t believe it.  But you walk straight before God.  You start reading your Bible, going to church and keeping your mind on Jesus.  And when you look at a woman, think of her as your sister or as your mother or as your grandmother, and you will be all right.  And within three years, society will take you back and you’ll become an important member of society.  In Jesus’ mighty name, amen.

My father and mother, Oral and Evelyn Roberts, the founders of this ministry and Oral Roberts University

LR: Yea!

RR: are our special guests tonight.  Lynwood, do you have a call?

LW: Richard, I have two.  One just got handed to me, and I just have to read it here.  Aaron from Claremore, Oklahoma.  Twenty-three years ago Aaron had cancer.  He was at a local hospital.  The doctor said there was no hope for him.  He called the Prayer Tower, and he was healed.  He’s 80 years old now and still healed.  And he just called tonight to let us know that.

RR: You know, we’re hearing from so many people who received healings years ago and many of them through my father’s ministry many years ago in those tent crusades.  We’re hearing from them now and they say, “Well, we never called to tell you.”  If that’s you, pick up your phone and call us and let us know what God is doing.

In fact, later tonight I’m going to show a tremendous miracle from back in 1954.  So stay tuned where you are.  Yes, Lynwood.

LW: Well, also, you had a specific word tonight about chest pains, and you also gave a word last evening, Mike in Monroe, Louisiana was sitting in his desk.  He was experiencing sharpness of pain in his chest.  And when he heard that word, he received it.  The pain left immediately.  Mike is healed and he’s doing fine, and he’d like to tell you about it.

RR: Hello, Mike.

MIKE: Hey, Richard.

RR: How are you tonight?

MIKE: I’m doing great.  How are you?

RR: I’m just fine, Mike.  Tell me what happened.

MIKE: Well, I was sitting in my office, sitting behind my desk the other afternoon, and I was watching your show that came on at two o’clock.

RR: Uh huh.

MIKE: It comes on at eight here in Monroe and then it comes on at two o’clock in the afternoon.

RR: So it reairs.

MIKE: Right.

RR: I see.

MIKE: And you were talking about a sharp pain in your chest kind of like a knife stabbing in, but you made a specific point to say that it wasn’t, wasn’t the heart.

RR: But I did say it was the left side, do you remember?

MIKE: Right, uh huh.

RR: I remember giving that word.

RR: Hallelujah!  And people are receiving that right now. You’re receiving that.  I just, when you said take it, I feel like just saying, it’s mine, it’s mine, it’s mine.

ER: That includes a minister in town who has leukemia, and the lymph nodes are getting larger and he’s on chemotherapy.  And I pray for you, Louis that God will heal you tonight while this program is on, and I believe He will in Jesus’ name.

LR: You know, I know you all didn’t know this.  I know you didn’t know this because I didn’t get a chance to talk to you before the program, but they were going to try and get Cheryl on the telephone so you could pray for her over the air, because they want to start radiation tomorrow and chemotherapy.  She’s already had a mastectomy.  She’s already had bone marrow transplant, and she said, “The pain is so bad.  They want to start the radiation again.”

This whole group right here that I call my party friends, they’re from Cancer Treatment Center, and they all come over, they all know Cheryl.  And they all come over and watch this program

OR: Have them stand up.  Have them stand up.

LR: expecting their all you stand up, he said.

OR: All the cancer patients stand up.  Stand up.

RR: That’s why the Lord is revealing this to you tonight because here’s so many of them that are here.

LR: These are my party friends.  We came to have a healing party tonight.

OR: All right.  In the name of the Son of God, I hold the Word of God in my hand, the spoken and written Word of God.  I reach out the Word of God to you in the name of the Son of God.  And I speak the Word against that outlaw.  That outlaw has invaded your good cells.  That outlaw is trying to destroy those healthy cells. That’s an outlaw.  And Jesus said, “The devil comes only to steal, to kill, and destroy.”

Now I’m coming against that outlaw with my son and daughter-in-law and my wife and others here, and I’m coming in the name of Christ.  You outlaw cancer, you wither and die.  You wither and die.  And life abundant, you come into their bodies.  Life from Jesus, you fill them up. Fill them up and destroy those outlaw cells.

And I speak to the good cells, that you stretch out your wings and you suck in the power of God until every one of you is greater than the outlaw, and your body is filled with just good cells.  Through Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I declare it in His name.

RR: Not only in those of you who are here with us tonight, but those of you that are watching by television, the power of God, there’s no distance in that power.  There’s no distance in prayer.  You can receive that tonight right where you are.  And we’re including you in that prayer in Jesus’ name.  We’re including you.

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?
