Seed-faith and Prayer

LR:
Hi. My name is Lindsay Roberts. And I’m standing here in the midst of the Abundant Life Prayer Group where prayer has gone on in this place 24 hours a day, seven days a week, since probably the early 1960’s. So we’re talking over 40 consistent years of constant prayer, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in this atmosphere. And I tell you something, you can feel it.
And if you’d like prayer, we want to encourage you to go to your telephone right now. Pick up your phone and dial 918-495-7777. It’s a little after two o’clock in Tulsa here at Tulsa time, which is Central Time.
And if you pick up the phone and call right now, this is the very group of Abundant Life Prayer Group prayer partners that will be answering your phone calls. And they’re going to be taking those prayer requests and giving them to me. And we’re going to believe God for a miracle, along with your faith joined with our faith, joined with their faith. And we are going to bombard heaven in your behalf.
A lady named Andrea called from Colorado, and she said, “While I was listening to Richard on The Hour of Healing,” she heard him give a word of knowledge that God was healing pain in the left leg and pain down the arm.
And she said she hurt herself when she was moving furniture. She said, “That’s for me. That is for me.” And she said, “I called in to tell you, now all the pain is gone in my right arm and my left leg.” And she said, “I’m telling you, it’s a miracle.”
If you need prayer, 918-495-7777. You can go on-line at Oral Roberts Ministry website, orm.cc, write Richard Roberts and Lindsay Roberts at Tulsa, Oklahoma, 74102, or like I said, go to the telephone, 918-495-7777.
Then Cora called in, and she said her right knee had been hurting for over a month. And while she was in constant pain mostly on the right side, she was not able to walk for a very long time at all.
Cora was watching The Hour of Healing and came into agreement with Richard for her healing. And she said, “Now I can even go shopping. I feel better right away. I can walk to the grocery store, and I have no pain.” Praise God!
And then a lady named Stephanie called in from Pennsylvania and said while she was watching The Hour of Healing, Richard gave a word of knowledge concerning pain in the hip area that was traveling down the leg.
Stephanie had been suffering from pain in her hip for many years, and she began to pray with Richard and reaching out her hands towards him in agreement. Instantly the pain left. She had also been suffering from a vitamin D deficiency. Shortly after this time, she said she had her blood test that showed she had been healed from this disorder as well.
I’ll tell you something, I believe in the power of prayer. I believe that there is a prayer of agreement, the Bible says, according to Matthew 18:18 and 19, where, “If two or three of you are gathered in my name, I am in the midst of them.”
Then He went on to say, “If you shall agree as concerning any one thing.” We’re going to agree with you concerning whatever it is you ask us to pray for. And we want to believe God for your miracle. So don’t hesitate. Pick up the telephone. Call 918-495-7777. We’re right here in the midst of the Prayer Group.
You know, if you can feel, when you walk into a room, you can feel tension, or you can feel stress or an argument. Well, I’ll tell you something, you can feel the anointing in this room. People who walk in here have said about it, “We don’t want to walk out of the room. We get in this room, and we don’t want to walk out.” I know exactly how they feel. I’ve made jokes, “Do you think I could just like sleep here all night long?” Because I’m not kidding, it is bathing in the presence of God in this room. And we absolutely love it in here.
We want to take you down to Pennsylvania for a testimony from a woman named Kathy about a back being healed. Kathy has a testimony how God miraculously touched her back while she was in Pennsylvania. And while you’re listening to this testimony, I want you to call in your prayer request. As soon as you hear this, we’re going to come into agreement for backs to be healed and a lot of other things on this program. So just watch Kathy from Pennsylvania.
LP: Kathy Pouncy, South Coatesville, Pennsylvania
BRAD:
For 60 years people have come to Oral Roberts Ministries to receive healing through Christ Jesus. In the early days, Oral Roberts reached the hurting and the lost through tent crusades, television, and the radio.
OR:
Place your hand upon your radio cabinet as a point of contact as I reach forth my hand here as a point of contact to pray for you, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
BRAD:
Kathy Pouncy was just a little girl when she found out from her parents she was going blind.
KP:
The doctor told them that I would be blind between five and six years old. And my dad already had a brother that was blind by the age of five. And he really didn’t want that for me.
BRAD:
The very next Sunday, she and her family were listening to Oral Roberts on the radio.
KP:
The preacher said that there’s someone that’s believing for healing for their daughter that got a bad report that she would be blind by the age of five. So he said, “I want you, the parents, to take the girl’s hand and put your hand on the radio and believe God for her healing.”
And that’s what my parents did. They took my hands, and I still remember the day they hold my hand and their hand was on the radio. I remember him grabbing my hand, and he told my mom, “Get her hand, get her hand,” you know. And I still see the picture today that they—I’m in the middle and they’re holding my hand, and they laid their hands on the radio. And I received my healing.
I’m in my fifties now, and I’m not blind. I never will be. Praise God.
BRAD:
Kathy has lived in Pennsylvania’s Dutch country all of her life. Forty years after her eyes were miraculously healed, Kathy was stricken with a muscle disorder.
KP:
They called it limb-girdle muscle disorder.
BRAD:
What followed, years of severe back pain and crippling back spasms.
KP:
I had them, at least seven or eight years I had back problems. I would have spasms, and they were worse than the pain, than regular back pain.
BRAD:
Doctors prescribed all sorts of pain pills and muscle relaxers, and Kathy went through physical therapy to strengthen her back. But she says the painful spasms would always return.
KP:
I couldn’t get out of the bed, you know. I mean, I’d be praying and it would get a little better. But then it would come back.
BRAD:
After living with these painful back spasms for eight years, Kathy could finally get The Hour of Healing on her TV set. Remembering her childhood miracles, she started watching every night. She hadn’t been watching long when one night she heard Richard give a word of knowledge about lower backs being healed.
RR:
Anyone who’s suffering in your back, let’s just have prayer right now. In the authority of Jesus’ name—you may want to just come over and put your hands up against my hands right now as a point of contact.
KP:
He mentioned that there’s someone out there, more than one though, he said, that had lower back pain, you know. And I said, “That’s me, that’s me.” So he said, “Just lay your hands on your back.” And he said, “Put your hands on the television if you can.”
RR:
Every pain, be healed. At least three of you right now, another three of you have pain in your lower back, and also one of you in your tailbone. And God is healing you right now.
KP:
After Richard got finished, the pain went away. I got out of the bed after my back got stretched out, and I bent over and it didn’t hurt. And I walked to the door, it didn’t hurt. Went in the kitchen. I just started praising God. So I said, “I’m claiming it, and I’m going to keep it.” And ever since then, I have not had no spasms.
BRAD:
Not one spasms?
KP:
Not one spasm since then.
BRAD:
After eight long years of painful back spasms, Kathy is finally and happily pain-free.
KP:
It’s been over a year now, I guess about a year since that happened. And I don’t have no spasms and don’t have no lower back pain once. And I was believing that it would never come back again. And it hasn’t. And it will not.
Every day I thank the Lord for my healing. Every day I thank Him that I’m able to move and have my being, you know, every day. I really appreciate it. The Lord has delivered me from so many things in my life. He’s a good God.
