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.

And I’d watch my mama send a seed to Oral Roberts.  And I’d say, “Mama, we can’t do that.”

And she said, “Honey, we have to do that.”

And I’d watch my mother attach herself to the anointing of Oral Roberts.  I was 12 years old.  I put ten dollars in an envelope, and I sent it to Oral Roberts.

And he’d get on television, and he’d say, “Something good is going to happen to you.”  And I took my shoe off one day and I threw it at the TV and I said, “Something good had better happen to me because all I’ve had right now has been bad.”

And my mama would just sit there, and she’d pray and she’d pray and she’d pray.  And satan tried to steal my mama right after—he did take my daddy.  But after he tried to steal my mama, my mama said, “No.”

She got a little book from Oral Roberts called Three Most Important Steps to Better Health and Miracle Living.  And when she read it, she got healed.  God healed her.

So she called up all the doctors and said, “How much was it going to cost for her surgery that she was supposed to have?”  And they gave her the number, and she wrote a check to Oral Roberts.  And she said, “This is the seed that I would have had to pay to the doctors anyway, and I don’t need it now, so I’m going to send it to you.”

And she sent it to Oral, with one prayer request.  Be careful who you connect your anointing to.  Her prayer request was, “Oral, I want you to pray for the right husband for my daughter Lindsay.  She has a very special . . .” 

And I want to tell you something, be very careful who you connect your anointing to.  Make sure the people around you protect your substance, protect your anointing.

After my third pregnancy died in my arms while we were in the hospital, Richard Oral, three hellacious pregnancies, and surgery after surgery after surgery.  I was in the hospital for a hysterectomy.  God sovereignly, miraculously healed me.  And my baby died in my arms, and I had two airline tickets to go to Palm Springs, California and take my mama with me and go rest and recuperate.

And the Holy Spirit said, “You don’t get to rest and recuperate.”

Open you the windows of heaven-possessor of heaven and earth, the most high God.  Pour you out a blessing-you got the one, two, three again?  And then deliver you from all your enemies-the divine Paraclete, the one called alongside to help.  God’s using Himself in all three forms again to get them healed.  But guess what?  They didn’t listen.  So God shut up for four hundred years.

You wonder why God’s not talking to you?  How’d you like God not to talk to you for four hundred years over tithe and offering.  You lose tithe and offering.  You disobey His ordinances, and you get nothing.  “You return unto me, and I’ll return unto you all the way back to tithe and offering from the blessing of Abraham.”

t says he was of the order of Melchizedek.  The order of Melchizedek was the order that Jesus was the order of. It’s the only time you’ll see it there.  He was the order of Melchizedek.  It means He was the ordination of Melchizedek.  He was ordained in the same fashion of the most high God as Melchizedek.  And look at Malachi 3 where it says, “You’ve gone away from me, even mine ordinances.”  You’ve gone away from what I have ordained you from the order of Melchizedek to do.  You’ve forgot tithe and offering so I no longer can ordain you as the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth, and I can’t deliver you from your enemies.

If you’ll return unto me in tithe and offering, I will return unto you.  I’ll open you the windows of heaven. That’s the God part.  Pour you out a blessing.  That’s the Lord over everything.  And I will rebuke the devourer for your sake.  That’s the Holy Spirit, the one called alongside to help you get out of the mess you’re in.  And they wouldn’t do it.  And there were four hundred silent years until God got full of it, and He said, “Okay.  They’re not getting it in the spirit form here.  They’re not getting it in the spirit form in the fiery furnace.  They’re not getting it in the spirit form in Malachi.  I’ll send a baby.  Maybe they’ll get it in the form of a man.

So He sends Jesus.  And He says He’s of the order of Melchizedek. Go look in Hebrews.  He’s all the way back in the same form He sent Him right here.  He’s in the same form He sent Him as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego’s deliverer in the fiery furnace.

Only this time He sends Him in the form of a baby. More creative, because He figures, if you don’t get it in the spirit, maybe you’ll get it in the flesh.  So He sends Him in the flesh.  Jesus walks around doing miracles.  He’s anointed of the most high God.  He is Lord.  That’s what we call Him.  Jesus is Lord, which means He’s possessor of heaven and earth.  And then get this part.

RR: What you’re saying is what this woman wrote in her e-mail that I read a little earlier.  She’s saying, “God, I’m putting you to the test.  I’m facing a need.”  She talked about a tax situation, and so she’s sowing out of her need, believing that God’s going to-and she used the same Scripture you used, Malachi 3:10,11, that God’s going to open her the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing where there will not be room enough to receive it.

LR: That’s the only Scripture in the Bible where God says, “Prove me.”  The only time in the entire Bible, Genesis to Revelation.

RR: The only time He says it is involving money.

BS: How powerful is that!

LR: It has to be because He made a statement that said, “See if I’ll not open you the windows of heaven.”  Do you know what would happen if the windows of heaven literally were opened and God began to dump it out of the windows of heaven?

RR: There would be no more debt.

BS: I had to build a house a new house with a four-door-car garage.

LR: That’s why. I mean, walls made out of jasper, gates made out of pearl.  There’s no sickness in heaven.  Streets made out of gold.  There’s no disease in heaven.  There’s no sorrow, no shortage.

You know, while you were talking, it was so funny because I was sitting here like this and right while you began to speak about businesses, I saw somebody in the pie business.  And I thought, all I kept getting to myself was “pie-in-the-sky.”  And I thought, it was like blueberry pie was flashing in front of my face.

And I don’t know if you are either in the pie business, you want to expand the pie business, you want to go in the pie business, but God is saying, “Don’t either start that or try and expand that business without Him as your senior partner.”  And if you will go into partnership with Father God, then He will make the right corporate decisions. Sometimes we forget that.

BS: You know, if people are looking for a place to sow seed, I’ve had people to tell me that, right now you’ve got the phone number, you’ve got the address.  Here’s the place to put that seed.  And, I’m telling you, folks, this really works.  I can tell you after forty some years experience, God works.

LR: But that’s because of teaching that is not in harmony with the Word of God.  You can have a gospel according to opinion, and you can believe a gospel according to opinion, and you can blame a gospel according to opinion when you hear the actual truth and say, “Oh, Oral Roberts invented that.”

Oral Roberts did not.  Let’s clarify that.  Oral Roberts did not write Luke 6:38.  He didn’t write Malachi, he didn’t write Galatians.

JS: He didn’t invent Seed-Faith.

LR: No.

RR: It starts right there in Genesis 1.

JS: God made I’m glad Oral saw it and shared it with us, because my life has never been the same since.

LR: You know, the Lord gave me something at 2 o’clock in the morning when I was watching you on television, and the Lord said this, and I woke Richard up.  I said, “Get up.  I’ve got a new one.  You’ve got to hear this from the Lord.”

And the Lord said to me, “Write this down.”  And I wrote this down.  He said, “A funny thing happened on the way to the Rapture.  Man lost their ability to sow and reap.  Man lost their harvest.  A funny thing happened on the way to the Rapture.  Man lost their ability to sow and reap. Man lost their ability for seed-time and harvest.”

Somewhere between God’s provision when Jesus Christ went to the cross and He said, “It is finished,” somewhere between the Rapture or the resurrection when Jesus was raised from the dead and this 2000-year span of when He was raised from the dead, and the time when He will return again, the Rapture.  A funny thing happened on the way to the Rapture.  We didn’t follow the Bible.

JS: Yeah.

LR: We lost our way for provision.

RR: Lindsay, we’re getting it back.

LR: We’re getting it back.  We have believed the lie of the devil, we have believed bad teaching, and we have believed bad opinions

JS: Have you noticed there have never been more people teaching the body of Christ how to get out of debt than right now?  God has risen up anointed people.  It’s time.

God, for the lack of a better term, is fed up with the church not being able to fulfill its assignment.

LR: And they are not fulfilling his word.

JS: And we can only do it if we continue in seed-time and harvest.  Now another point that I’ve learned about seed-time and harvest is this.  You sow when the soil is hot.  In other words, there is a proper time to sow.  And when the soil is hot, when the soil has been prepared and it’s ready to receive that seed, that’s when the farmer sows.

Okay.  The soil is hot here.  I know when soil is hot, and I’ve got my seed to sow.  All right, I’ve got seed to sow.  And what I want to do is challenge everybody that’s watching tonight, if they don’t have what they need. Now this represents for me I don’t have what I need right now, that God’s called me to do.  I don’t have it presently, in the natural, what I need to do it with.

But I am never without the seed that will produce it. That’s my seed, the soil is hot, the ground is good, and all the conditions have been met.  There’s only one thing left. Harvest time.

RR: And you’ve got it coming.  Lindsay laid your hand on this with me.  Jerry, lay your hand on this.  In the authority of Jesus” name, by the confession of his own mouth, he said, “I am sowing this seed in hot ground.”

Lord, we set our faith in an agreement with him and with Your Word for this seed to be multiplied back to him, to Carolyn, and the Jerry Savelle Ministries of Evangelism. Multiply it back to them, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, according to your mighty Word.

And, Lord, take every seed that is sown tonight from those who are calling the ALPG, and multiply it back to each one of them good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over to break the spirit of debt, and to meet every need according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Somebody give the Lord praise.

LR: Something happened on the way to the Rapture.  Christians got delivered from the spirit and the bondage of debt.

RR: Would you just join us, Jerry, in prayer over these special requests that are coming right now.

RR and LR prays for people who called in.

You know, not everything is exceptionally perfect right now. But there are a lot of signs that lead to what’s coming, and that is the second coming of Jesus Christ. And that is good, and that’s what’s set before us. And so we do go through different things. We do endure certain things right now that we’re going through.

RR: Somebody said the other night, “I don’t believe in the rapture.”  Well, you’d better get in tune with the Bible, my friend, because the Bible says the church is going to be rapture. I don’t know if I’m going to be alive and be rapture, or I may come bursting forth from the grave, you know, brushing the dirt out of my hair. I don’t know. But I know one thing, I am going up in Jesus” name. I believe in the rapture because the Bible says so.

LR: And I know something else. You can try and make theology out of it or make no theology of it or make theology of post or pre or mid or anything else. I tell you what, you can’t change it. You might as well just get hooked up and go on with it, because do what God tells you to do. He’s going to take care of what He’s taken care of.

RR: And our good friend, Dr. Hilton Sutton, has a great book, Get Right or Get Left. You know, get right in your life or get left behind. I don’t want to get left behind. I want to go up in Jesus” name in God’s timing. Oh, I’m excited tonight!  The Lord has laid something on my heart tonight on this program. I’m excited about it. I have a special message from my dad, Oral Roberts, from the World Changer’s Ministry Church in Atlanta, Georgia where he preached with Pastor Creflo and Taffi Dollar.

LR: The Lord showed me something just now about the joy that was set before us. So many times we miss our miracle because we’re so busy complaining about what situation we’re in that we miss where we can go to.

I was thinking about this today, we tape Make Your Day Count, the program that I tape with my sister in law, Cheryl Salem, and one thing about it, we do cooking segments on it. And for some reason she’s smart, that’s the reason. She always reads the recipe and gets me to stir. I don’t like the stirring. You just sit there. Today I go home, guess what?  Making chocolate chip cookies. Do you know what you have to do to make chocolate chip cookies? Stir. And the batter gets hard, and you sit there and you think, “What am I doing?”  And that’s the work.

ANNOUNCER: For more than fifty years, Oral Roberts Ministries has touched lives with God’s healing power and the message of salvation to millions throughout the world, a mission that only you made possible our Partners.

ER: Partners, we love you and appreciate all you do for us.  Thank you.

OR: Thank you with all our hearts.

MAN: Thank you, Partners.

LADY: Thank you, Partners.

LADY: Thank you.

LADY: Thank you, Partners.

MAN: Thank you.

MAN: May God richly bless you for all you do for this ministry.

LADY: Thank you, Partners.

ANNOUNCER: The difference you make makes all the difference.

ANNOUNCER: Welcome to Something Good Tonight the Hour of Healing, America’s nightly healing service, with tonight’s guests, Terri Pearsons, Madeline Mims, and Samantha Landy. Now let’s welcome our hosts Richard and Lindsay Roberts.

RR: Yes. Oh, come on; give the Lord praise because this is the Hour of Healing.    And welcome, everybody. Hallelujah! The problem solver and His name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Son of the living God.  Come on, give the ORU Singers a good God bless you.

Students and graduates of Oral Roberts University. Lindsay, Lindsay, honey, your conference is starting in the morning and you have many hundreds of ladies already here on the campus of Oral Roberts University tonight.  Give yourselves as big God bless you.    They’re all over here tonight. We welcome you.  We start tomorrow morning, Lindsay.  Tomorrow morning at nine o’clock, Lindsay.

LR: Okay.  This morning I couldn’t take it anymore, so I went to Quik Trip, me, with no sugar.  You know, last week I had the Oreo fix.

RR: I haven’t heard this story.  I’m going to hear this for the first time now.

LR: I walked in; I bought soda that was about, you know, the haul-it-out, bag of M&Ms, peanut, of course, and a bag of potato chips. I sat down in my car and I said, “What am I doing?”  Ate every drop and didn’t care.  So you can tell it’s Women’s Conference because I’m ready.  I’m charged.

Immediately Carol felt the power of God go through her body and a sweet peace came over her.  She went back to her doctor for checkups now listen to this.  After the examination, the doctor told her, her kidneys are fine, and she’s doing well. Then he turned to her and said, “Did they tell you, you had a liver disease?”  Well, the doctor said, “It’s completely gone.”

I tell you what, Lindsay, God is manifesting His power in a remarkable way.  And I thank God for it.  Yesterday in the service in Riverside, God gave me a word about six people having trouble with their shoulders.  Six people came forward for prayer.  I laid hands on them.  Everyone fell out under the power of God.  All six of them, every one of them got up healed by the power of God totally healed, right in the middle of the service.

LR: We have seen you know, my kids say, “Go figure.”  We have lived in a “go figure” society, go figure.  Who can figure it out?  God will not be figured out.  He is sovereign.  He’s going to do it His way.  God wants to be God.  And when we let Him be God, it’s amazing; He does a good job at it.  God is moving!

RR: Lynwood, do you have a testimony?

LW: I sure do, Richard and Lindsay.  And this is one I know Lindsay is going to like because well, both of you, because you hate cancer.  And whenever we get victory there, there’s a good victory.  This is from Clifford in Nashville, Tennessee. Richard, you had given a word of knowledge that he received.  He had testicular cancer.  The tumor was the size of a grapefruit. He’s going to tell you about how God touched his life.  I think you had a word about that.

RR: I remember giving that word.  Hello, Clifford.  Are you on the line?  Clifford, are you there?

CLIFFORD: Yes, I am.

RR: Hello.  How are you tonight?

CLIFFORD: I’m on cloud nine.

LR: That’s a nice place!

RR: Tell us, Clifford, what has happened?

CLIFFORD: Well, some six weeks ago you gave a word of knowledge about someone having cancer in the left testicle.  It was, my left testicle was swollen the size of a small grapefruit and I had a drainage.  And it burned all the time, like someone poured acid on me or something.  The moment you stretched your hand forward, I did the same, reaching for yours.  At that moment, the burning left.  It had felt just like a smooth cool glass of water had been poured over my entire body.

Of course, I went back to the doctor the second time and both times it came back negative, clear, nothing.

RR: Glory to God!

And now I speak to you who have been tormented, and I say, in Jesus’ name, honey, you are made whole.  You be made whole, for God to fill that void in you in every area of your life, for God to bring His peace, for God to bring the spirit of peace to replace that tormenting spirit with the spirit of peace.

And, you know, when Jesus said, “My peace I leave you, my peace I give you,” that actually translates oneness and wholeness.  I pray for God’s oneness and wholeness to come into your life right now in Jesus’ name.

RR: Glory to God!  Lindsay, as you’re praying, there’s someone who has a blockage and deafness in your right ear, and God is healing you right now.  There’s a person who has had extremely pain across the right side of your side of your chest.  It’s not the left side this time; it’s the right side, right across the right side of your chest.  The pain goes into your shoulder.  It goes down under your arm.  God’s healing you right now.

There’s a person who has a growth on your tongue, and God’s healing you.  You say, “Well, Richard, how do you know that?”  I know because that’s the operation of the word of knowledge.  The word of knowledge is one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit that the apostle Paul teaches about in his letters to the Corinthians.  And that gift is flowing tonight.  It belongs to the Holy Spirit.  It does not belong to me.  But, thank God, I have the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is manifesting that. If I’m describing you tonight, I want you to examine yourself right now and call and give us your testimony.  Let us know what God is doing in your life. Sue, do you have a testimony by phone right now?

SUE: Yes.  Last night you gave a specific word about a slipped disk.

RR: Yes, I did.

SUE: Yes, you did.  In Rotan, Texas, there’s an associate minister named Stan, and he’s been in excruciating pain.  He was lying on a sofa.  He heard you give the word, and he received it and he is healed today.  And he’s on the line.

RR: Hello, Stan.

STAN: Hello, Brother Roberts.

RR: How are you tonight?

STAN: I’m doing great.

RR: Tell me what happened last night when we prayed.

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.
