LR: Yeah, it really is.
RR: I’ve studied the Bible most of my life now, but every time I open the Bible I find something that I didn’t notice before. Now maybe I’d read the words, but something leaped out. You see, that’s the anointing on God’s Word and that’s what’s happening to people at the Healing Outreach Center. You see something in that Journey Through the Bible that you didn’t see. So if you haven’t been through the Journey Through the Bible, come on down to Tulsa and see it. I believe it will be a great blessing in your life. (Applause) I want–God bless you, Hal. Just sit right where you are because I want to, I feel like singing. I wanted the ORU Singers to open with a song today, but I also feel like singing. Is this microphone on? Yes, it is. I want to sing a song called–would you like to sing, Lindsay
LR: I don’t even want to stand up today, let alone sing. No, I’m fine right where I’m at.
RR: If you’ll just excuse me, I’ll go right over here and I’m going to bring this song to you, “Devil, You Can’t Hold Me Down.” (Amen) (Singing “You Can’t Hold Me Down”) (Applause) Now here’s a testimony coming up just for you, so watch this. PATSY LEONARD (Montrose, Michigan): I think I had always been one of those who expected to see the manifestation of the healing before I received it. And I learned that that’s not the way it should be. I I’m going to stand on that and believe it, that’s when my healing starts. I stop asking God and I start believing I have already received it because His Word says, “By his stripes we were healed.” My name is Patsy Leonard and I’m from Montrose, Michigan. And I became a partner of Oral Roberts approximately 10 or 12 years ago. We have come to ORU the last five years for all the seminars. When we receive an invitation we look forward to it every year. But this year in particular I had just found out a couple of weeks before I received the invitation that I had some masses in my left breast. And I went to my doctor and was examined and he suggested that I have a biopsy because he couldn’t guarantee me it was not malignant if I didn’t have one. And I knew that I was coming here and I knew about the City of Faith. And I just felt a knowing inside of myself that the Lord gave me that this is where I should be because there was a possibility that I would need more surgery than just the biopsy. And I knew that having the faith and the belief that I did in the City of Faith that this is where I should come. We went through the seminar and I came on Friday and had an interview with D. L. Moore and Dr. Henderson. And they examined me and they suggested too that I have the biopsy. And we set it up for Tuesday morning after the seminar was over. And Sunday at the last service Oral and Richard came through and prayed for everyone in the healing line. And I held in my heart that I wanted my healing from the knots in my breast. And I just believed on that when they came and laid hands on me. And then Sunday night we went over to the Victory Christian service at Billy Joe’s church and he laid hands on me and prayed for me. And I felt more and more the tenderness was going out of my breast. So I knew that God was starting to work there, that there was something happening inside of my body. And so I had no fear. I remember in the holding room in surgery, the anesthesiologist came in and she said, “I will give you something in your IV to relax you.” And I said, “Don’t bother.” I said, “The Lord has just made my spirit so relaxed I don’t need anything else.” And so she said, “Well, fine.” She said, “That’s unusual, but it’s good, you know, that you can feel like that.” And the cancer that they found in my breast was benign. I think they took three different little small tumors out and it was all benign. The doctor came back and told me while I was on the table that it was benign. And I just began praising the Lord right there on the operating table. (Applause)
