The healing presence of God by Lindsay Roberts

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.

The Greatest Revelation by Richard Roberts

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.

 

In the Bible by Richard Roberts

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.

There is no distance in prayer by Richard Roberts

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.

God Has Released Me by Richard Roberts

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.

RR: John, I’ve had to learn how to forgive people who have hurt me. And in cases, I’ve had to go to them, the Lord has sent me to them to tell me to ask them to forgive me because I’ve been holding something against them for what they have done to me.

LR: And it’s a seed.

RR: God has released me in other areas of my life when I’ve done that.  It hasn’t been easy.  I remember one man who had said some terrible things about me on television.  This was maybe ten, fifteen years ago things that weren’t true.  And I was deeply hurt and offended, and then I was bitter at him.  And the Lord spoke to me and said, “Go to him and ask him for forgiveness.” And I said, “Why?  I’ve done nothing.”  He said, “You go ask first.”  So I did.  I asked him to forgive me for holding it against him.  And there was a healing.  He said, “Well, I found out what I said wasn’t true and I’m sorry.”  And there was a healing between us.  But it happened because I went to him.  He was the one in the wrong, not me, yet God sent me to him to ask him to forgive me.

J: That’s amazing because that’s exactly what happened to me in the two deepest things that happened to me.  God told me to go to both men both times and apologize for being critical and judgmental of them.  And when I did, it opened it up and we came together.  We reconciled together, one of whom, you know, the man continued in his ways.  The other one, we are still like this today, and that was the deepest one.
