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?
