See, we’re facing, we’re facing an emergency right now here in the month of June with Oral Roberts University. It’s the worst emergency that I have ever known in the history of this ministry. The doors of Oral Roberts University may not open in the fall. And someone say, “Well, I’ve never heard anything like that before. Imagine Oral Roberts University not opening.” But we’re refusing to believe that.
Tell what your dad’s saying. For lack of money. We’re talking faith talk, that by faith enough people are going to stand with us. We’re going to work and prove God. We’re going to prove God. We’re going to prove that God is God. People are going to get hold of Him and we’re talking faith talk, not doubt talk. Now I’m going to talk to John Wesley Fletcher in a few minutes about this.
Well, you know, we’re not foolish enough to close our eyes and say, “Oh, don’t tell me about it.” We’re smart enough to say, “All right, give me the facts, give me the figures, what do we need, what do we have?” You’ve got to be realistic. You live in the world. You can’t just go some pie-in-the-sky and close your eyes and say, “God will fix it.”
You can be in the world but you don’t have to be of it. That’s right. We look realistically and get everything in line and then say, “All right, that’s the realistic part of it. Now here’s the faith.” And your father stood up the other day saw him stand up and point his finger and he said, “I will not go under.” And he said, “I cannot go under for going over. I’m going to make it.” And believe me, I believed him. In the midst of the worst circumstances I’ve ever seen Oral face, he stood up and he said, “I will make it.” That’s his faith.
We’re standing up this summer saying, “In spite of the devil’s attack” now let me tell you, friend, if I was the devil, which I’m not incidentally. Some people have said I am.
