Give Him Thanks by Richard Roberts

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.

Glory to God by Richard Roberts

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.

Heavenly Loving Father by Richard Roberts

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.

God is your Source by Richard Roberts

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.”

The book of Acts by Richard Roberts

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.
