Now everyone listen to me.  How has this happened tonight?  How has this happened?  It has happened by the power of God.  Now everyone listen to me.  I want you to give me your attention.

I want you to notice that the blind beggar called Jesus Lord.  Everyone listening.  Everyone quiet.  He called Him Lord.  When I was 20 years old, I called Jesus Lord.  I fell on my knees, and I asked Jesus Christ to come into my heart.  They’re rejoicing because of the miracles.

Tonight I’m going to lead you in a prayer.  I’m asking you a question tonight.  Do you want to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord?  Do you want me to pray for your sins to be forgiven?  And do you want to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior?  If you do, if you want me to pray for your salvation, then I want you to lift your hand right now.

I’m going to pray a salvation prayer.  I will ask you to repeat it after me.  If you’re sincere with God, if you want to repent of your sins, if you want to receive Jesus as your Lord, then I’m asking you to pray this prayer out loud after me.

Are you ready?  O Lord, be merciful to me a sinner.  I am a sinner, Lord, and I am sorry.  I repent.  I turn my back on the past.  I renounce the devil and all of his works.  And I confess with my mouth that Jesus is the Son of God.

And I receive Him as my Lord and Savior.  Come into my heart.  Forgive my sins.  Cleanse me.  Heal me.  Deliver me, and set me free.  From this moment I make a commitment to God.  He is my Savior.  He is my Lord, and I will never be the same again.  Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!

Now I’m asking all the pastors to come and stand with me.  All the pastors, come and stand.  Come and stand, all the pastors, all you pastors.  In a few moment’s time, the counselors are going to put decision cards in your hand.

If you prayed that prayer with me and if you believed on the Lord Jesus Christ tonight, then when they hand you that decision card, you fill it out.  Fill it out tonight before you leave the rally grounds, and put it in the hands of one of the counselors.  The counselors are the ones wearing the yellow shirts.

I am looking forward to tomorrow night.  God has given me a special message for you tomorrow night.  You must be here by seven.  God has given me a special message for you.  Pastor Kimso.

KIMSO: Thank you.

What am I trying to say?  I am saying that Jesus is big in me.  How did He get big in me?  Because just like Bartimaeus, the day came when I heard about Jesus.  I was 20 years old when I heard about Jesus.

I was not blind in my eyes, but I was blind in my heart.  I was blind to the things of God.  I was blind to His work.  I was blind to His love, until someone told me that Jesus was passing my way.

And someone told the blind man that Jesus was passing by.  And Bartimaeus began to shout, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.  Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.”

And people told him to, “Shut up.  Be quiet.  Leave the Master alone.”  Many people feel that God is too busy for them, that He’s too busy handling the affairs of heaven and that He’s not interested in mankind.

You may think that if you call on Him tonight, He’s too busy to hear your call.  But that is not true.  God is never too busy to hear your cry.

And Bartimaeus got a glimpse of that on the inside.  And the more they told him to be quiet, the more he shouted, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.”

And Jesus stopped, and He turned toward Bartimaeus and said, “Bring him to me.”  And if Jesus will hear Bartimaeus, He will hear your cry.  For the Bible says that He is no respecter of persons.  If He will hear Bartimaeus, He will hear you tonight.

Jesus said, “Bring him to me.”  And Bartimaeus did a very unusual thing.  The Bible says that he took off his beggar’s garment.  He wore an outer garment.  And that garment sent a message to everyone, to everyone that passed him.  That garment said, “You’re blind.  You’ve always been blind, and you will always be blind.”

That garment said, “There’s no hope.”  The garment said, “There’s no way, and that you’re destined to be blind for the rest of your life.”

But when he called on Jesus and he got a glimpse of Jesus the healer, he said, “I am going to Him, but I’m taking this outer garment off.  This garment has represented my blindness.  I’ve worn it every day.

In Jesus’ name, there’s a wave of healing right now.  Eyes are being healed.  I’ve spoken it.  In the authority of name, there’s another healing.  There’s another eye opening now.  There’s another eye opening right now.  There’s another eye.  Vision is being restored right now.

Legs are being healed.  There’s heat coming from the feet, and it’s coming up.  It’s coming up.  The healing power is coming up.  It’s coming up the feet, up the leg, up the knee, and coming up the hip.  It’s coming in the backs.

Yes, it’s even coming into the chest.  Lung condition, allergies, sinus, a breathing problem, in the name of Jesus, I speak to your lungs.  Lungs, open up.  Breathing problem, come out, in the name of Jesus.

Someone’s breathing is opening up now.  Someone’s breathing is opening now.  Someone can breathe all the way in and all the way out.  That’s God healing your lungs tonight.  That’s God healing your lungs tonight.  That’s God healing your lungs tonight.  Lungs to breathe, to breathe all the way in and to breathe all the way out.

Thank You, heavenly Father.  We lift our hands and we give You praise.  Lift your hands unto Him tonight.  Hold your hands high unto the Lord.  Give Him a wave offering tonight.  Thank You, Father, for healing tonight.

Deafness, deafness, deafness must go.  Deafness must go.  Deafness must go, in the authority of Jesus’ name.  I speak to deafness and the difficulty with hearing.  Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes.

In the name of Jesus, there’s healing in ears.  I rebuke this deafness.  Come out, and it’s going, it’s going, it’s going, it’s going, it’s going.

Someone who’s—yes, someone who’s lost their hearing for ten years is being healed.  And someone for twenty years is being healed right now.  Someone in the stadium is being healed of deafness.  Examine yourself.  See what God is doing.

Lay your hand on your stomach.  Anyone with burning here, burning pain?  In the authority of Jesus’ name, kidneys, be healed.  Colon, be healed.  Intestines, be healed.  Every pain in your waist, be healed.  Every burning, come out.

The Bible says we have not many fathers.  It doesn’t say we don’t have enough.  It just says there aren’t many.  I not only have an earthly father, but I have a spiritual father.  Oral Roberts, my father, has been my mentor all of my life.

Six months ago my mother went home to be with the Lord.  And it was a very hard time in my family.  But the good thing is, we know where she is.  She is in heaven.  The Bible says, “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”

And now my father’s eyes are upon heaven.  And should the Lord tarry, I know it won’t be long until he will be headed to heaven too.  I said to him, “Daddy, I want a double portion of the anointing that has rested upon you.”

And he looked at me as his son and said what Elijah said to Elisha, “Son, if you see me when I go, you shall have a double portion.”  I wondered what he meant.  What did he mean?  And I think I had a word from God.  If I keep my eyes on Jesus, if I keep my eyes on the Lord in him, then I can have that double portion.  And I thank God for that.  I thank God for my Christian heritage.

When I was a boy I ran away from God.  During my teenage years, I wanted nothing to do with Christianity.  I wanted to be a nightclub entertainer and a professional athlete.  I was not interested in God.  I had my own plan, I had my own dream, and God was not a part of it.

My father and I had no relationship.  I had told him to stay out of my life and not to mention God to me.  And when you tell God to stay out of your life, He will.  The Holy Spirit is a gentleman.  He will not go against your will.  God will not go against your own belief.  But if you come to Him, the Bible says you must believe.

But I did not want God in my life, and so I left home.  My father had established a university by then, but I did not want to go there.  I wanted my own dream.  I was a young man, and I wanted my own life.

Pain in the chest, come out.  Come out.  Come out, in the name of Jesus.  Pain in the belly, come out, come out, come out, in the name of Jesus.

Hearing, be healed, in the name of Jesus.  Blindness, glaucoma, cataract, in the name of Jesus, be healed.  Vision, be restored.  Hearing, be restored, in the authority of the name of Jesus.

Cancer, you foul tormenting thing, in the name of Jesus, you come out.  Cancer, come out.  Cancer, come out.  Every growth, every tumor dissolve and disappear.  Every growth.  A-ha, it’s happening now.  It’s happening now.  There are tumors that are dissolving right now.  There are growths that are disappearing now.  In the name of Jesus, I speak to every tumor, every growth.  I command it to come out, come out.

Now there’s a wave of healing that’s beginning.  It’s coming across the crowd.  Lift your hands unto the Lord.  Say, “Heavenly Father, I receive my healing, in Jesus’ name.”

I speak it out, and I believe.  I speak to diabetes, diabetes, come out.  Come out.  Come out, in the name of Jesus.

Stomachs are being healed right now.  Burning pain in the waist is leaving now.  Back pain is leaving someone now.  Shoulders and arms are being healed.  Hips and feet and legs are being healed.  The power of God is going through someone right now.  Right now the power of God is going through someone right now.  You can feel it.  He’s touching you now.

I speak to heart disease.  Every artery, open up.  Heart muscle—yes, there’s healing in a heart now.  There are arteries that are opening now.  Be healed in your heart, in Jesus’ name.

In your lungs, God made your lungs to breathe.  In Jesus’ name, every lung open up.  Every lung open up.  Every lung open up.  Every lung open up.  Every lung open up.  Every lung open up.  Every lung open up.  Every lung open up, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Now lift your hands and begin to give Him thanks.  Begin to give Him praise.  Thank Him for what He’s doing here in our midst tonight.  Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!  What’s happening now?

MAN: Richard, this is one of the ladies that is healed of back pain.  She’s had back pain, as well as pain in her knees, and the pain is gone.

RR: Ask her to bend over.  The pain is going.  Ask her to bend.  Can she tell she’s healed?  Hallelujah!

MAN: She’s healed.

RR: She’s healed.  Glory to God!   Hallelujah!  Yes, Dr. Cordray.

DR. C: Richard, this lady has had pain in her right leg for four years, and now she can use it without pain.

RR: Move your leg.

MAN: She has pain on her left leg for three years, but yesterday it moved to the right leg.  But today both her legs and the right leg are healed.

RR: No more pain?  Hallelujah!  Yes.

MAN: Yes, President Roberts, this lady for nine years had left knee and ankle pain.  She couldn’t walk, much less jump.  Tonight she’s healed.

RR: Ask her how long she’s had the problem?  Nine years?  The pain is gone?  Hallelujah!  Yes, Dominic.

D: Dr. Roberts, this young boy fell from his bed eight days ago, making him unable to walk.  Tonight when you prayed, the power of the Lord touched him.  He can walk fine.  This young boy.

RR: Walk, walk.  Stand over there.  Have him walk to you.  Stand over there.  Stand over there.  (Applause)  Hallelujah!  Yes, David.

DAVID: Richard, for two years, the same thing, the lady had back pain and pain in her leg, just like the other lady did.  Tonight the pain is gone.

RR: Is the pain gone?

MAN: The pain is gone.  She could not stretch her leg.

RR: You could not stretch our leg.  Stretch your leg out now.  Now bend over.  Now stretch your leg out.  Are you healed?

MAN: She says she’s healed.

RR: Hallelujah!  Yes, Dr. Cordray.

If sickness comes against me, I want to get well.  Anybody here want to get well in your life?  If you’re going around the house saying, “Glory to God, I’m sick,” well, you’ve come to the right place tonight because that’s not of God.  God wants you well.  Turn to the person next to you and say, “He wants you well.”

Pastor, is it okay if I come down there?  I’m up here all by myself.  I’m going to come down where I can see, where I can touch you, where I can smell you, feel you.  I mean smell in the Spirit.  You know what I mean.

Somehow people get a suffering mentality.  It’s like the woman who said, “I always feel the worst when I feel the best because I know how bad I’m going to feel when I start feeling bad again.”  Do you know anybody like that?

Do you know anyone who is so negative that when they walk into a room, it feels like somebody walked out?  Now look straight ahead.  Don’t look right or left.  Do you know people like that?  Do you know people who are so negative in their approach?  Everything is negative.  And they have a gospel of “I can’t,” or “I shouldn’t,” or “I never will.”

You know, when I married Lindsay, Lindsay gave me a gospel of “You can, and I’ll stand by your side and I’ll help you do it.”  And she’s been doing that by my side now for 28 years.

We have three beautiful daughters, Jordan, who is 23, and Olivia, who is 21, and Chloe, who will be 19 next month.  And, thank God, they look like their mother.  And they’re back home in Tulsa.  They sent me off this morning to the airport with their prayers and told me to greet all of you.

You need someone to tell you you can.  Turn to the person next to you and say, “You can.”  Now on the other side.  And tell them, “You can.”  And say, “I really mean it.”

Some of you look like you’re low tonight.  Some of you look like that you’d have to be jacked up just to be buried.  A couple of you look like you haven’t smiled in two or three years.  A few of you, I don’t think you’d raise your hand on anything that I said.

I came to bring you a message that God is concerned about you.  He cares about you.  He knows who you are.  He knows where you live.  He knows what you’re going through.  He has His miracle touch for your life.

But you’ve got to engage.  You can’t sit back and say, “God, I expect You to do it all.”  In my experience, that won’t work.  He is an integral God.  He is a God that wants someone to partner with.

When Lindsay was carrying them, I always felt that Lindsay was at her prettiest when she was pregnant.  There’s a glow about a woman when she’s pregnant.  And when Lindsay was carrying our children, she would say, “I’m expecting.”

And it didn’t matter if it was raining, sleeting, snowing, didn’t matter if it was 100 degrees or 15 degrees.  It didn’t matter if she felt like it or she didn’t feel like it, she was expecting.  She was expecting that in nine month’s time, the seed sown in her body would produce a child.  And she would say, “I’m expecting.”

My mother, who is in heaven now, would go around our house when I was a boy, after planting her seed, the phone would ring, and as she picked it up, she would say, “Is this my miracle?”  Someone would knock on her door, “Is this my miracle?”  A letter would come, “Is this my miracle?”  She was in a state of expectancy.

And my father was telling this story to these pastors in his home just three weeks ago.  By the way, somebody’s getting healed in your left shoulder right now.  We’ve got to learn how to expect.  Most people don’t expect.  Now you go to Wal-Mart, or you go to Target, or you go to Big K or wherever you go, wherever you do your shopping in the grocery store, and you fill your cart.  What would happen if you went there and you paid for your groceries, but they never gave them to you?  You’d get mad, wouldn’t you?  You’d go to the manager.

And yet people give to God and don’t ever expect anything.  It’s like you go to a Coca Cola machine, and you put your coins in and then you make your selection.  And you expect a Coca Cola to come out when you press the button.  And if it doesn’t, what do you do?  You kick the machine.

Well, why would you treat God worse than you treat a Coca Cola machine?  I’m not talking about kicking the machine, but you sow your seed, you make your selection, you let God know what your needs are, as He teaches in His Word, and then you open your arms to receive from a benevolent and heavenly loving Father.

And I’ve heard my dad preach it so many times and you have too, “God is your Source,” you know.  It’s not your government, not your country.  Thank God for your government.  Thank God for your country.  Thank God for whoever is in the White House.  Thank God and pray for them.  Thank God for these people that do their jobs.

But they’re not our source.  Our bank is not our source.  Our paycheck is not our source.  Our family is not our source.  God almighty is our source.

It looks like in the natural that we’re coming into a tough season.  Seasons come and go.  Stock markets rise, stock markets plummet.  And then they come right back up again.  But you can’t live your life according to the stock markets.  You can’t live your life according to CNN.  You can’t live your life according to the circumstances that you see around you.  You have to live your life dedicated to God.

And I heard the Lord say to me earlier today, “This is a divine moment.”  Now I was studying my Bible the other day about some divine moments in the Bible.  And one of the first divine moments I came across was when this Roman army captain came to Jesus and said, “My military aide needs healing.”  And Jesus said, “I’ll come and heal him.”

The centurion said to Him, “It’s not necessary for you to come because I also am a man under authority.  I understand godly principles.  I have the authority given me by Caesar.  And I speak to my soldiers, tell them go, go, and they come, or to come and do this and they do it.  But I recognize that you, Jesus, you have authority over all authority.  You’re God’s only Son, and You have authority.  So you don’t have to come.  You just speak the word, and my military aide will be healed.”

And in my spirit I saw crippled people walking tonight.  I saw cataracts falling off.  I saw glaucoma leaving eyes.  I saw ears that were completely blocked, I saw perforations in eardrums being healed.  I saw cancers falling off of people’s bodies.  Not because of me, not because of anything that I say and do, but because of Jesus.

And there’s an atmosphere for that.  In fact, Jesus is touching someone right now.  Someone has a left arm that’s two inches to three inches—yes, two to three inches shorter than your other arm.  And right now, even as I’m speaking, your arm is growing out to the same length as the other arm.  You’ll know it’s you because you’ll feel this warmth coming down right now.

There’s another person watching, you have this pain that goes right down your neck, down your shoulder, down your arm.  And you feel like your arm is withering up because you flinch every time you try to move it.  And God is healing you right now.

Now here’s what I want you to do.  I want you to stretch your hands out toward me right now.  And everybody here in the audience, would you do the same, please.  There’s something special about the touch.  Now it’s not my touch.  My hands are human hands.  But the Bible says in the book of Acts that God worked through the hands of the disciples.  In fact, He worked special miracles through the hands of Paul.
