And I appreciate that it’s a healing evangelist who is the president of one of the major universities on the earth, Oral Roberts University, that a healing evangelist with a wife that’s in the healing ministry, you are gifted academically as well to be president of this university.  And your mother and I well, honey, you speak for yourself.

ER: Well, we talk a lot when we’re away from you and we’re watching you on television.  I turn to your dad and I said, “I’m so grateful to God that He gave us a son who would obey God.”  And then He gave Richard a wife who would obey God.  And we appreciate what you’re doing so much.

It helps us as much as it does anybody else.  I go up to the television set, Richard, when you put your hands up there and put my hands I begin to feel a tingling, the power of God begins to work in my hands while I’m up there.  And, I tell you, there’s power coming out of that television set.

OR: I walked up there one night and touched your hands and it knocked me down.  I mean, the power of God was so strong, it just knocked me down.

ER: Praise God, praise God.

RR: Dad, the Bible says that God worked through the hands of the apostles.

OR: Well, through the hands of His disciples.  And we are a disciple.

RR: That’s right, we are.

LR: Exactly right.

OR: It didn’t die with the twelve apostles.  If it did, then the historians would have looked at the last one who died.  The twelfth one was John.  The last one died after he wrote the book of Revelation, so they’d had to have gotten the year and the month and the week and the day and the hour and the minute and the second and said, “He’s dead.  Miracles are over.  All the people born after this can never have a chance to be healed.”

So you see what a lie of the devil that is, that God would love them more and just the few that was on the earth than He would love the multiplied hundreds of millions on the earth today who are sicker, they’re sicker than they were then.  But the God we serve is a good God.

LR: And He’s the same.

OR: An eternal God, and the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Breathing conditions, I command you to go. Stomach problems, be thou made whole, especially you ulcers.  In Jesus’ name, I speak to the ulcer.  I command it to go.  I speak the name of Jesus Christ and command this sickness, this disease, whatever it is.  Maybe it’s a disk in your back.  Are thou made whole in your back, in every area, from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet.  I speak the word of living life, of healing to you, in Jesus’ mighty name.

Lindsay, there’s someone who’s ear has been ringing for days, and God’s healing the ringing in the ear right now. Whoever you are, you’re receiving that healing, you know it’s you, pick up your phone and call us and let us know what God’s doing.

LR: Do you know what you said?  You said “living life.”  You know, many people have been going around, walking around living death. They’re not dead on the outside, just dead on the inside.

RR: Yes.

LR: They feel like they died, but their body is still moving.

RR: Yes.

LR: And I believe God has living life, from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet, outside and inside.

RR: That’s right.

LR: Many times it’s the hurt on the inside that hurts worse than some of the hurts on the outside.  And I believe in Jesus’ name God is healing you inside out, right side up.  He’s turning all the garbage that maybe nobody can even see, but you know it’s there. I believe that God can heal it inside out and make you new.  You know where I was talking while you were starting the program, but I got to see a miracle.

I got to visit a miracle.  I had a little friend here in town that had a baby, and we prayed for the baby, little Adam, on the program.  And something went wrong in the surgery, and I got the privilege of seeing mama and Adam tonight and they came here to the studio.  And, I’m telling you, when you see God operate as God and that which was in the natural just devastation and God turns to miraculous, I tell you what it’s exciting.  It is exciting.  And I thank God for His saving, healing, and delivering power.

RR: I do too.

LR: And it’s a miracle.  I love looking at miracles.  I get tickled looking at miracles.

I pray, oh, I pray for blood to become pure, to flow through the body and to bring health and strength.  And I pray for the Holy Ghost to fall and fill everyone.  And I believe in the name of Jesus Christ, God is doing it.

RR: Oh, hallelujah!  Give the Lord praise tonight.  I feel it.  I feel it.  I feel it.  If you’re experiencing the touch of God, if you feel the touch of God tonight, I want you to go to your telephone right now and call us. There’s the number, 918-495-7777.  Dad and Bill Swad, God bless you.  Thank you for being a part of our program tonight.  Somebody’s going to get touched, Robin.

RG: Amen, I know it.  I know it.  Praise God.

RR: And I know how excited he is about being with you all the 4th of January.

RG: We look forward to it.

RR: I’m jealous.  I’m jealous that he gets to come.  I’m just jealous.  I’m jealous.  What’s happening, Lindsay?

LR: Special prayer for marriages, and your father had just mentioned about being married over 50 years, and this person called in and said, “Please pray for marriages right now, would they please pray for their marriage.

“  And so I believe that God not only heals bodies, He heals finances, He heals marriages.  You know, the Bible says you touch and agree.  Isn’t it funny it didn’t just say you talk and agree?  But He said if you will touch and agree concerning any one thing, it will be done of my Father which is in heaven.

And another thing is, you know, we talk about the 1-900 numbers or the different things that people are reaching out to, just like this person called in for healing in their marriage. The reason they’re reaching out to something is because they’re hurting.  You know, there’s got to be a void or a lacking or emptiness or a hurting somewhere to cause you to reach out.

You know the telephone commercial, reach out and touch someone.  You know, it’s because you’re hurting and there’s a void.  And I believe that God has the supernatural ability to fill those voids, including in marriages.

RR: Lindsay, would you just lead the prayer and I’ll join in with you?

LR: Sure.  Father, in the name of Jesus I just pray for marriages right now.  Father God, I believe that that is created of you. And, Father God, if you created the office of marriage, then you can create holy godly marriages.  So, Father God, right now I ask for you to heal marriages just in the same way that you healed bodies and you healed spirits and you saved souls and you bring healing and restoration to finances.

RR: People have been saying to me, “What are you doing stretching out your hands and having people, having peopled lay hands on your hands?”  That’s what the disciples did.

LR: Do you want to know just how scriptural this is?

RR: Wait a second.  You say, “You’re not one of His disciples.” Well, we’re right, I’m not one of the twelve.

LR: Yes, you are, the Bible says.

RR: But the Bible says if you continue in my word

LR: In My word.

RR: then you are my disciples.

LR: True.

RR: No, I’m not one of the twelve; I’m one of the millions.  I’m one of the disciples.  I’m one of the apostles because I’m following in the Word of God.  Hallelujah!

LR: And through the hands.  The what?

RR: Hands.

LR: Wait a minute, hold that thought.  The apostles brought many signs and wonders were done among the people.  Now, and then it said about the shadow.  Show me where that was.  And it says, “So they brought out the sick into the streets and laid them on the beds and couches that at least the shadow of Peter passing by them might fall on some of them.”  They were healed from the shadow of Peter passing by them.  Okay

RR: That’s faith.

LR: Do you know what one translation actually says about that that that is the glory or the anointing that was on Peter that actually was transmitted when his shadow passed?  I was talking to one of the guys here in the studio this afternoon.  I’m about as technical as zero.  I know nothing technical about television, nothing.  You know, I turn it on, I turn it off, and if that doesn’t work, you throw your shoe at it.

That is all I know about television.  But he told me today and now you’ll have to help me with the technical details, guys, because I am not a technical person.  But the way that television takes its signal from the camera is, it actually transmits shadows.  Okay.      ”So they brought the sick onto the streets and lay them on beds and couches, so that at least the shadow” did that ring a bell? “Of Peter passing might fall on them.”  Now it says, “Through the hands of the apostles, many signs and wonders were done among the people.

What did Jesus say?  “They shall lie”

RR: Hands.

ANNOUNCER: This is what actually took place at the Charleston, South Carolina, crusade on April 22, 1958.

OR: you’re deaf in the left ear.  Are you hearing me from the right?

MRS. W. C. MURPHY: From the right.

OR: You have a heart disease.

MRS. M: Yes.

OR: And you said on your prayer card, “I believe I can be healed through your prayers by God.”  Is that right?

MRS. M: That is correct.

OR: And you’ve been healed before, you say, and you walked after one year.  When was that?

MRS. M: It was about six years ago.  I was in a car accident, and I was crushed all the way down, T-totally paralyzed, and I was lying on a plank for one year and a half.  There was a room ready for me at the hospital to put me in a walker to teach me how to walk.

OR: Well, what did you do?  Pray?

MRS. M: I heard your prayers, and through your prayers to God and my praying and your praying, your contact with God

OR: Well, where was I?

MRS. M: You were over the television.

OR: I was right there with you.

MRS. M: You were there with me.

OR: Yes.

MRS. M: And about 5 o’clock in the morning, God said, “Get up off of the bed and walk.”  I begged my husband to stand me on my feet.  He did.  He held out his arms, and I walked across the room.  I cancelled the room at the hospital.

OR: And here you are.

MRS. M: In the name of God.

OR: Lord Jesus, May the left ear is healed by God.  Mrs. Murphy, turn around.  Close up the right ear with your hands or finger.  Can you hear me now?

MRS. M: Yes.

OR: Say, I love You, God.

MRS. M: I love You, God.

OR: With all my heart.

MRS. M: With all my heart.

OR: Mrs. Murphy

MRS. M: I’m healed.  I’m healed.

OR:

Mrs. Murphy, I just started to say a woman of your faith will get healed.  How did you discover it was healed?

MRS. M: I knew the very minute that you laid your hands on me God would heal me.  When I went home, I wanted to be perfectly satisfied, so I rammed cotton, my fingers, I stopped my good ear up, and I still could hear everything.  Then to convince it, I went back to the doctor that told me that I was deaf, which I knew I was.  He had given me the hearing test.

OR: Yes?

MRS. M: And I’ve heard ever since.

OR: Mrs. Murphy, right up here I want you to talk a moment.  There’s somebody that wants to be healed.  What did you do what word would you give to someone who wishes to be healed by God?

MRS. M: First, you have to trust God.  You have to have faith, knowing that God can do all things.  With Him everything is possible. Never have any doubts.  Never let anyone tell you anything.  Read it, know it, believe, and trust in God, and you will definitely get what you ask for.

OR: Amen.

Father, I thank You just as You loosed me by Your Word and by Your Spirit, I thank You that You would loose these women by Your Holy Spirit right now from every stronghold of their mind and every bondage in their body.  Lord, I ask You to heal their metabolisms.  Lord, they may be saying, “You don’t understand. My metabolism is totally out of balance.”  Lord, You made them. You formed them, and You forged them.  Lord, You can restore what the doctors can’t.

Lord, I ask that You would just go into those bodies right now.  I ask that the heat and the healing presence of God would go into those bodies right now and restore their metabolism and put everything in the digestive systems back into order, in the name of Jesus.  And, Lord, we just give You all the praise and all the honor and all the glory, amen.

RR: Lindsay, there are people all over the country receiving this prayer, receiving healing tonight.

LR: You know, I was on a very bizarre opposite end of the spectrum only a few months ago, and I have never had an eating disorder in my life, never focused on food, but I have a fanaticism about eating the way the Bible talks.  And I don’t do a lot of chemicals.  I don’t do junk food.  My kids don’t get junk food. We don’t do drive through.  And it’s a joke in our house, my daughter says we only eat slow food, we don’t eat fast food. Chloe, of course. And I was accused of being compulsive, anorexia, by a medical doctor because of my outlandish behavior by being so fanatic.

And I tried to walk him through basically Genesis through Revelation, that there really is I know this may sound strange to people but there is a Bible way to eat.  The Bible tells you there’s certain animals you are not to touch. The Bible tells you that there’s food that is unclean.  The Bible tells you that we’re to spout the wheat and not crack and crush the wheat.  I know that sounds crazy, but that’s in Ezekiel.

Now that’s the foundation of Calvary.  That’s why Jesus said, “If you don’t forgive, your Heavenly Father will not forgive you.”  How can we be children of God when He has forgiven us of such a great debt, a $4.5 billion debt, when Jesus is the very worst debt that we can sin against each other is basically $10,000 compared to $4.5 billion.  I’m shortening this extremely, but I’m doing it because of the sake of time.

And so a Christian has got to realize you can’t forgive until you realize what you’ve been forgiven of.  And, you see, there’s so many believers today that are trapped, and that’s exactly what offense is.  It’s a trap.  They’re tormented by demonic powers because an offense is a trap.

RR: Well, they’ve been hurt.

LR: You think you have every ability to say, “Well, he did this wrong, that wrong, this wrong, that wrong.”  And the greatest revelation I ever got on this, first of all, was reading your book.  It’s marvelous.  I have to say that flat out, it’s marvelous.  And everybody who has ever even taken a breath needs to read the book, because sometime if you live long enough, you’re going to get offended by somebody or you’re going to offend somebody else.

But I was parading my offenses to my mother one day, having this great revelation of how wronged I was and I was in the right which I was.  I mean, I knew I was.  I mean, flat out, end of scenario.  I was right, which is the way we all feel, of course. But she called me back in about 15 minutes.  She said, “I’ve had a word from the Lord on this.”  And she wrote it on the inside of a panty hose container.  I thought, “Oh, come on, mom, this is going to be good.”  And she said, “No, I got a word from God.” So I thought, “This is going to be one of those ‘my-child-how-right-you-are’ words.”  She said the Lord told her to tell me, “You have every reason to be offended, but according to God’s Word, you have no right.”  And we can come up with some really good reasons.

J: Yes, you can be a hundred percent right and be wrong.

LR: But we have no right to hold the offenses.

Nowhere in the Bible can you find where Jesus rejected someone.  Oh, there were those who rejected Him.  Nowhere in the Bible can you say He refused someone. Well, wait a minute.  What about the Syrophoenician woman that He refused?  Well, just read the rest of the Scripture. When she worshiped Him, He said, “Woman, great is your faith.  So be it done unto you.”  And her little demon-possessed daughter was healed.

Never in the Bible can you find where He refused.  Oh, you can find instances of people refusing Him.  Never can you find where Jesus did not receive someone.  Oh, you can find people who didn’t receive Him, but Jesus is in the receiving business.  He receives us just like we are.  He loves us just like we are, but He loves us even more than that, to help us not to stay the way we are but to get better in His name.

He was moved with compassion and He healed their sick. That’s why we’re on television with Something Good Tonight The Hour Of Healing, because it’s your hour, it’s your hour of healing. Lindsay honey, where are you?  Come back here and join me, sweetheart.  You and I have made a commitment to God that we are going to pray for the sick every night Monday through Friday night.

LR: That’s right.

RR: on live television.

LR: Did you live to the testimony of that man that was talking about seeing that little placard that said I Am The Healed Of The Lord?

RR: Oh, yeah.  I saw that little placard right there.  Do you remember how that placard came about?

LR: That placard came about several years ago by a young ORU student, a girl that we had known from New Orleans, Louisiana, watched her grow up from really a little child in Charles Green’s church. Her hope and dream was to come to ORU.  Came to ORU, was one of our chaplains.  Everything was really quite glorious in her life until one day she started having a strange, irregular heartbeat, and then her heart would stop altogether.  And then it would start up.

And they took her to doctor after doctor, and they finally just said basically, “She needs open-heart surgery, needs to fly to Houston,” and one story after another. Well, as it turns out, her parents were brought here.  This whole thing was emergency.  And I didn’t I was able to run down, track down her mom while her mom was racing in between one hospital visit and another.  We kept missing each other.

So I went to the hotel where she was staying, and I just wrote her a little note.  And I said, “Don’t call her by her first name anymore.  Don’t call her Amy” and her whole name.  I said, “Call her Amy comma, the healed of the Lord.”  And I said, “From this moment on, you never refer to her anymore as Amy without saying she is Amy, the healed of the Lord.”  And that’s how that began.

SPKM DINO KARTSONAKIS The meaning of that, again Greek, oh how I love Him, how I adore Him.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS We have just a few moments before our program closes and I want us to take time right now to pray with those who are watching, many people across this nation and Canada and even in foreign nations.  I got a call the other day from Bishop Harold down in Jamaica who said, “There’s a satellite dish here and we can get your program here in this city in Jamaica every day and we watch you faithfully every day.” Bishop Harold, if you’re watching this morning, God bless you. Watching live down in Jamaica.  Anyone who has a satellite dish, you know, in North American continent, you know, can see this program. And there are a lot of servicemen who are watching this program.  And I thank God for that.  And I’ve got news for you, there is no distance in prayer.

God’s here where we are.  He’s there where you are.  And when we pray together, miracles can happen.  I’m going to ask everybody here in our studio audience to join hands with the person you’re next to.  And let’s all join hands.  And let’s each one of us pray.  Don, I’m going to ask you if you’ll begin and then Dino and then I’ll close in just these moments as we close our program today.

SPKM DON POTTER  PRYM Heavenly Lord Jesus, we come before You as servants, Father, at best.  We lift our hearts to You, Father God.  We ask for Your guidance by Your Holy Spirit, Almighty God. Touch us, Father, this day.  Open those places, Father.  Teach us what a broken and contrite heart really means, O God.  Show us that servitude has not much to do with being the master of anything, mighty God, but it has all to do with serving You as the King of this universe, O God.  We lift up our hearts to You. We lift our prayers to You.  We ask for Your mercy, Almighty God, on this country, on the leaders of this country.  We ask Your mercy upon all of us, Lord, who have sat in apathy in areas that we should be moving, Father, that You would move by Your Spirit, Father.  We ask that You would move among us, glow among us with Your Holy Spirit, O Lord Jesus.  Lift up our hearts, O God, that we would hear You clearer and clearer day after day.  I pray a blessing upon this university, Lord, and upon the people of this university.  Their hearts are good, Lord Jesus, and their hearts are of You, O Lord Jesus.  Praise You, Father.  Praise You, Jesus.

SPKM DINO KARTSONAKIS  PRYM Oh, how I love Him, how I adore Him. Father, I played that from the bottom of my heart.  There’s such a sense of love in this studio. Lord, we love You with all our hearts.  You’ve supplied our needs and we know You’re going to continue to supply our needs, Father.  Lord, I pray this moment. I just feel that we need to pray for Oral. Continue to give him courage.  Continue to give him wisdom, divine wisdom, we want that more than anything.  And, Lord, how we need that wisdom.  We commit everything to You and will continue to serve You with everything that we have, the talent that You’ve given to us.  In Your name we pray.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS  PRRR And I add my prayers to Don’s prayers and Dino’s prayers.  And I focus in on Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Son of the living God, who is able to take you over to the other side, even in the face of the devil’s roar.  I come against the sickness and the disease in your body.  And I pray for you to be healed today, from your head to your feet.  I rebuke that satanic attack in your life and I agree with you for a miracle. And I won’t stop praying and believing until the miracle comes. In the name of Jesus.  Amen and amen.  Till we see you next time, remember, no matter what it looks like, God can turn it around for you.
