God Has Released Me by Richard Roberts

July 2, 2010 – 9:46 pm

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.

Father God by Lindsay Roberts

June 25, 2010 – 4:20 am

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS God knows what you’re going through right now.  So right now,  PRLR Father God, in the name of Jesus, I pray for a mighty miracle.  I pray for my brother, for my sister, for my partner who needs a miracle right now.  And, Father God, You gave me so many miracles, I could hardly count them all.  So what You did for me, God, I pray in the name of Jesus that You would do for my partner.  In Jesus’ name, right now call it out. Call out your need.  Name your need right now.  And in Jesus’ name, I know, Lord, You’re hearing those needs and I ask You to meet those needs.  And, Satan, in the name of Jesus, I rebuke you. I cast you out.  I command you by the power and the authority of the name of Jesus for you to take your hands off God’s property, to take your grip off of God’s people.  In the name of Jesus, I speak health and I speak wholeness into your body and I command it to come forth now.  In Jesus’ name, amen. Amen.  Amen.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Amen.  Hallelujah.  Receive your healing.  Receive it, in Jesus’ name.  Receive this prayer of faith.  Receive the healing touch of God in your life.  And step to your telephone and call the Abundant Life Prayer Group right now.  Let us know what your need is.  Let us hold your name and needs before God.  Let us pray. And then I’ll sit down and write you a letter and bring you something good from the Bible.  In just a minute the ORU Singers and Orchestra are going to minister a song.  It comes right out of the Word of God, titled, “We Are Persuaded.”  We are persuaded, the Bible says, that neither death, nor life, nor any power or anything like that will be able to stand against us when we put our faith in Jesus Christ.  Here are the ORU Singers and Orchestra to minister, “We Are Persuaded.” Give them a great handclap as they sing. 

SPKM ORU SINGERS  SONG We are persuaded   AD01 VENTURE INTO FAITH SPOT  (Applause)

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS  SU01 I know you’re going to enjoy Venture Into Faith.  There’s so many people who have never seen it before.  And people are calling from all over the country to receive their copy of Venture Into Faith and they’re sowing a $100 seed into this ministry to help with the repair work that’s going on at ORU this summer.  And later on in the program I’ll be sharing that with you.  And here it is, Venture Into Faith. And it’s a feature full-length motion picture.  And here is the certificate of authenticity, Lindsay, and we’re sending one of these to every person.  It’s personally numbered, signed and dated by my father Oral Roberts, a certificate of authenticity, certifying that it is an authentic copy that will only be offered during this month of May on this television program.  So if you want to get Venture Into Faith, you want to help us with our work here this summer at ORU and everything we’re doing for God, then this is one of the ways that you can do it.  And we’ve been

Lindsay, we’ve been sharing, each day this week we’ve been sharing a little clip, a little clip from the movie to help get you acquainted.  Now of course this is the story of a young boy named Davie who has tuberculosis.  And it’s the story, the trauma in his life and his parents’ life of what sickness really does to a family.  And then of course how God brought a great miracle.  And of course that’s the exciting conclusion of the movie, the miracle.  And it’s a dramatic thing.  And so many people have received Christ and received healings in their own bodies as they’ve watched this movie. But there’s a very, some very funny moments in this movie and what I want to share with you right now is a little clip from the movie itself that’s–well, I won’t try to describe it to you.  I’ll just let you watch it.  It’s–well, I’ll just let you watch it.  Here it is.  ROLL-IN OF VENTURE INTO FAITH

God is good by Lindsay Roberts

June 18, 2010 – 4:11 am

And, Lindsay, here’s another.  This is from Quincy, Florida, and this is from yesterday’s program.  Yesterday our guests were Dexter and Birdie Yager, and Dexter shared the testimony of how he had had a stroke in 1985 and how God–was it in ’85?  (’86)  ’86 he had a stroke and we’ve been praying and he’s been slowly being restored back to the use of his right side.  And here is a testimony from Quincy, Florida.  “I had a stroke myself in 1985 and I was completely paralyzed on the right side.  But I want you to know God has healed me.  I’ve just been listening to the man on your program”–that’s Dexter Yager who was on yesterday. “I’ve been listening to that man on your program who was healed of a stroke and God has healed my body.  I have movement on my right side again.”  Praise God.

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS Hallelujah.  Praise God.  You know, that’s why we do testimonies. That’s why we have people come and share what the Lord’s done for  SL01 them.  Because the Bible says God is no respecter of persons. ( LR_Acts_10:34 ) And what God did for Dexter Yager, by the faith of a person believing God could do it for them, this man was healed.  It’s like a chain reaction. If you will believe and expect that what God did for your neighbor He can do for you, what God did for Richard Roberts He can do for you, it’s going to begin to happen because Jesus said He is no respecter of persons.  O.K.” 

This is from a lady named Lillian in New York City.  And she said, “I want to praise the Lord today because He has healed me from arthritis.” Now listen to this.  “Several days ago Richard gave a word of knowledge that someone was being healed in their shoulder and on the right side.” She said, “I had a witness in my spirit, but nothing happened to me in my body.”  She said, “But today I want you to know all of the symptoms are gone.  God is good.”

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Lindsay, there’s an unusual number of people here who have received healings on the right side.

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS Praise God.  Praise God.  And, you know, just like this lady from New York, she said, “Nothing happened.” She said, “I had a witness on the inside, but nothing happened in my body.”  If that’s happening to you and you know that you know that you know that God is healing you but you don’t see the evidence on the outside, you hold on.  You hang on. We walk by faith and not by sight.  You don’t let go.  You just keep saying, “No, devil, God made a promise to me in His Word and I’m not going to let go.  I won’t let go.  I won’t give up.”  You know, the devil is as persistent in trying to attack us as we are in trying to get well.  And you be persistent.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS I’m going to be more persistent to get well.

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS You be strong against the devil.  That’s right.  The devil doesn’t just roll over and give up.  So just like this lady, she said, “I had a witness even though it didn’t show on my body on the outside.”  You hold on and say, body, get well.  Body, get well.  Body, get well.  And just like she said, three days later her body got well.  Praise God for it.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS While you were talking, Lindsay,  he Lord is giving me a word of knowledge in the knee that someone who has had arthritis pain in the knee and had a difficult time moving your right knee, bending your leg, especially in your right knee and also the pain shoots up into your hip, God is healing you right now.  That’s a word of knowledge I’m giving you.  If I’m describing you, get up and call the Abundant Life Prayer Group right now, 918-495-7777.  Let me know who you are and we’ll share your testimony.  Lindsay, I just feel led to ask you to pray right now.  People are receiving healings and we’re sharing testimonies.  But there may be someone who needs healing right now and I just felt a witness in my spirit to ask you to pray.

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS Whatever it is you need right now, I want you to say it right out loud to God.  I don’t care who’s in the bedroom with you, I don’t care if you’re in a bar, if you’re in a jail.  Whatever you need right now, what’s important is you right now, not the people around you.  And I want you to call out your need before God and know that Father God hears things.  He hears your prayers.  He said, “I who planted the eye, can I not see?  I who formed the ear, can I not hear?”  He said, “I hear and I see all your needs.”

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS God knows.

God will not fail us by Richard Roberts

June 11, 2010 – 4:01 am

SPKM BILL NORDSTROM From the campus of Oral Roberts University and the City of Faith Health Care Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, today with special guest Arlie Whitlow.  Now the Oral Roberts Ministry presents Richard Roberts.

SPKM ORU SINGERS  SONG Turn it around

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS No matter what it looks like, God can take the situation in your life and He can turn it around for you. And I have a wonderful testimony to share.  Something miraculous has happened because I made a mistake yesterday.

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS You did.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS It wasn’t something miraculous I made a mistake.  It’s miraculous.  Yesterday I got up on the program and I told the people how I decided to take a bath rather than a shower and I found all these little bear–there’s no regular soap at our house.  They’re all in shapes of bears and ducks and rabbits.  And I made a terrible mistake.  I shouldn’t have mentioned on the air, but I’ve had a miracle.  I have now received in the mail, since yesterday, I’ve received Zest, I’ve received Coast, I’ve received Lifebuoy and I understand there is more soap on the way.

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS Now wait a minute, wait a minute.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS I’m taking this home.

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS One of those–

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS If Jordan doesn’t eat it.

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS We have our cameraman that said, “Do you think he’ll get mad if I put it on the little counter in front of him?”  And I said, “Jimmy, I don’t think he could get mad at you.”  Jimmy is six foot seven inches tall and I don’t think Richard will say a word to him about it.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS No, I’ll take the soap home and use it.

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS Yes.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Especially if he bought it.

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS When you’re trying to teach children colors, use little pink–

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Because he’s so tight he squeaks.

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS He’s going to get you.  You have to use things to let them learn, and we have little pink bunnies and we have blue ducks and all those neat things.  So that’s how Jordan learns her colors and her animals.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Yeah, I know.

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS So–and that’s what daddy did.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS And you take your life in your hands when you get in the bathtub because those things are so small you’re liable to step on them.

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS I know.  We put them all in the sand pail and we count them and do all those neat things.  See what you miss out when you don’t take a bath.  I tell you, you miss all the good things.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS I take showers, you see.

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS Get out of this.  Go ahead and get yourself out of this one.  Now we’re going to put all the pink bunnies in the shower.  Read your testimony and I’ll be quiet.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Here’s a testimony.  Here’s a

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS Go ahead.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Here’s a testimony from New York.  “This morning my husband was trying to get me to go to the doctor because of the severe pain I’ve had in my left shoulder.  And I was ready to go, but then you began to pray.  I was watching your television program.  As I walked across the room I heard you say, ‘God’s giving me a word of knowledge about someone who’s having left shoulder pain.  It’s being healed right now.’  Praise God, Richard, as I walked across the room all the pain left.  I am healed.  I know God will not fail me.”

There is God by Richard Roberts

June 4, 2010 – 12:12 am

The first show that she sent a letter out on me was a show called in L.A. on Channel 4 and it was called and she sent it out and they sent back and said, “Oh, no, it will take 6 or 7 months to put Barbara on the show because our talent are booked way in advance.” Chris called and said, “How do you like that?  Seven months before I can get you on the show.  Are you still going through this insane thing?”  I said, “Chris, send them some more information.  Tell them that I’m a Christian and I want to talk to people.  I’ve got to get my message across about God.”  She sent another letter back and they called and said, “Please have her out as soon as you can.”  I did that show.

They had never done this before, Richard.  And, you know, I have disobeyed God because God has asked me to get out there and really talk about him and let people know there is a God.  Women that are in business that are successful, you know, will come to me now and say, “Gee, you know what?  If you can be a Christian and look the way you look, why can’t I be a Christian?”  because they thought that in order to be a Christian and serve God you had to look unkempt, you didn’t wear any makeup, your clothes didn’t look right, they came from homes where the parents said, “If you’re a Christian, you don’t dress up.” I have spoken around the country and I’ve had so many come to me and say, “Look, if you can be a Christian and believe in the Lord and do what you’re doing, so can I.”  When I became a Christian, I want you to know, Richard, that things were not as great in the beginning the first six months, yes.  It was beautiful.  My sales went up, my buyers were changing their appearance, about me, their personal about me.  Things were going great and then all of a sudden the rug, the whole floor went out.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS The bottom fell out. SPKM BARBARA WALDEN Satan got on to me and I had friends of 22 years who started calling me names, who said, “You are insane.” I was sitting at a dinner table in a restaurant with my dear friend of 22 years and she turned to me and said, “Barbara, what kind of garbage is this you believe in, who will let little babies die?”  He said, “You are one of the most intelligent women I’ve ever met.  You are insane.”  Then he started calling me stupid.  I turned to my friend and said, “God doesn’t let little babies die.  The devil lets babies die.”  And, you know, the other friend said to me, “Then we’re serving the wrong god, if the devil has more power.”  I went through, believe me I cried and I prayed and I fell on my knees.  Sometimes I’d get on my knees and I’d just crawl around in my bedroom and say, “God, I need you.  Help me. I’m new at this.  Tell me what to do,” because I look at your father and what happened to your dad and when I was going to be on your show I got phone calls saying, “Are you going to do that show?  You wouldn’t be going there.” And I said, “Look, let me tell you something.  You don’t know what God will tell you to do.”  Do you know, if I would tell the world the things that God has told me to say and do, they would really think I was crazy.  Last night in my hotel room I said, “God, I’m doing this show.  I want you to speak through my tongue.  You tell me.”  Do you know what he said to me?  “I’ve told you and I’ve told you that you must bring the people in to God.  You must not be embarrassed.  Don’t think that if you go out there and talk about God they’re going to say, ‘Well, she’s doing it to enhance her business.’  Your business has been successful.  You are talking about God.  Forget about that.”

And this is what I’m doing on this show.  If there is anybody out there that is listening to me today and if you don’t have God in your heart, time is running out. SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Well, I think, Barbara, we ought to just join hands and I think you ought to lead somebody to Jesus right now.  That’s what the Holy Spirit spoke to you last night in your hotel room and I think you just ought to look at them and pray for them right now.
