BRAD: Vicki says she wanted to share her testimony to encourage others in need of a miracle from God.
VC: c(END OF ROLL-IN)

LR: We do have to have faith and believe in God.  And right now we have faith in God that heals.  Anybody that is listening to this program that has cancer, in the name of Jesus, just like Vicki got her diagnosis turned around, in Jesus’ name we speak to outlaw cells.  And we command those outlaw cells to wither and die and healthy cells to take over your body, for a healing and a cure, in Jesus’ name.

And I believe God for that.  I believe God for healing.  I am a miracle myself.  And people think, “You don’t . . .”  Oh, yeah, I do.  I can tell you stories that—you know how they say “will make your head spin.”  Well, I don’t want your head to spin, but I’ll tell you what, my father died of cancer when I was 12 years old.  My mom had an evil diagnosis shortly thereafter and several that followed it.

And then it turned around at 18, I started getting diagnosis—at 18!  And then by 23 and 24, and then I married Richard and then I had a tumor the size of a grapefruit.  And then and then and then.  I’ve had a tumor on my breast.  I’ve had an ovarian tumor.  I was in the hospital, in surgery for a hysterectomy, and God healed me in the middle of that surgery in front of all the surgeons.

I am living proof that God still heals today.  Well, how do we know that?  We know that by the word of people’s testimony.  And just like Vicki gave her testimony, if you have a testimony and you want to give it and share it with us, please call the Abundant Life Prayer Group, 918-495-7777.  Have our Abundant Life prayer partners pray for you, but also give us your testimony because we’d love to share it with other people.

And one thing I want to share with you—and I’ve got lots of requests for it.  I’m trying to organize this.  I’ve got calls on my calls on my calls.  But I want to do this before I forget.  I believe in sowing seed.  When I couldn’t have children, the hardest thing I ever faced was not being able to have children, two miscarriages, like I said, in surgery for a hysterectomy, many other surgeries that I don’t even want to go into.  And then I had a son that lived 36 hours and died.

I’m telling you, I understand what it’s like.  And in the middle of all that, the Lord spoke to me and said, “Give baby showers.”  And I’m like, “That’s ridiculous!”  And the Lord said, “No, you need to sow in famine to reap a hundredfold, to reap in joy.”

And I thought, Okay, what’s the hardest thing I could possibly sow?  That baby shower.  I would call people I knew that were having babies, and I would give baby showers and baby gifts.  In the meantime, I’d be having miscarriages, and in the meantime I’d be having dead babies and funeral services.  And yet I believed God that if I sowed in the very field I needed to reap in, God would honor me.

Now once I did that and sowed my seed—and sometimes I can tell you the honest truth—I have an upstairs in my house.  And I’d have the party downstairs and little baby flowers and everything, and I’m having miscarriages.  And I would run upstairs and I would throw up all over the bathroom, wipe off my face, come back downstairs and smile and say, “Oh now, aren’t we having fun?  Isn’t this exciting?”

We prayed for those little babies, and in my heart I was absolutely breaking.  But God told me that I had to give out of my need.  I had to give out of the very field that I wanted to reap from.  And as I did that, you all know my story—Jordan, Olivia, and Chloe later—three amazing, amazing daughters later.  God multiplied my seed into a harvest.

I believe I need to sow seed this week, and I want to give you this.  Now they’re helping me with the telephone number because I can’t see it over there—866—that’s a toll-free number—866 means it’s a free call—866-870-6932, 866-870-6932.  Or you can go to makeyourdaycount.com and go on-line.

BRAD: Platelets are the cells that clot the blood, preventing bleeding and bruising.  The normal range for platelets is 250,000 to 400,000 per microliter.  Vicki’s was only 12,000.  Doctors quickly gave Vicki a platelet transfusion.  But a week later she started noticing bruises. 

Then one night while brushing her teeth before bed, her gums started bleeding.  She didn’t think much of it and went to sleep.
VC: It just so happened that I woke up, and when I woke up, blood was oozing out of my gums.  You know, the blood was clotting in my teeth.  And so I called Kaiser, and they said, “Come immediately to the emergency room.”

BRAD: Doctors at Kaiser Hospital in Denver took a new blood count.

VC: And they said that my platelets had dropped to 3,000.  My liver was damaged.

BRAD: The next few weeks, doctors ran several tests and told Vicki she might have lupus, an autoimmune disease.  They then sent her to see a specialist.

VC: And he said, “Well, no, you don’t have lupus, but you do have lymphoma.”  And I said, “Well, no, I don’t have lymphoma.”  He said, “Yes, you do.”  I said, “No, I don’t.”

And then he showed me my name on the paper.  He said, “Isn’t that you?”  And I said, “Yes.”  And he said, “Well, then you have lymphoma.”

BRAD: Lymphoma is a type of cancer that begins in cells of the body’s immune system.  It’s a cancer that can spread to lymph nodes, tonsils, the spleen, and other organs of the body.

VC: The doctor said, “Well, come back on Tuesday and we’re going to do the bone marrow.”  And that week, that’s when I called Oral Roberts Ministries and I called the healing line and I called people I knew to pray for me.

The person who answered the phone was just so kind and loving and just, “Well, let’s just take it to the Lord in prayer.”  It was just what we did.

LADY: And we speak to her body to line up with the Word of God, and we call her healed.  We call her restored, in Jesus’ name.  Thank You, Father.

BRAD: Four days after praying with a prayer partner, Vicki went back to see the specialist, who tested her bone marrow, blood, and tissues.  Then she waited.  She waited some more and waited some more, until finally the doctor came in with a startled look on his face.
VC: He said, “There is no cancer in your body.”  And I said, “Thank You, Jesus,” because I knew God had healed me because one day during that two-week period I just felt prayers.  I just felt people praying for me, and I’d never felt that before.  I just felt prayers going up. 

And God healed me, and I thank the ministry for praying for me because the Bible says, “The prayers of a righteous man availeth much.”

BRAD: Vicki is now cancer-free and looking forward to teaching again.  She also watches The Hour of Healing now more than ever.

VC: Listen to people like Lindsay and Richard, because they build up your faith, because they are such faith people and just a wonderful healing ministry to let people know that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  And He’s still healing people.  We just have to have faith and believe in Him.

 

LR:

Okay, remember, the number is 866-870-6932.  That is for Overcoming Stress.  It is my gift to you.  You know, in the last couple of days, just in the last—I think we did it since last Tuesday or something like that—over 1,000 stress books have been ordered.  And they’re my free gift to you.  So please pick up your telephone, 866-870-6932, and let me sow this as my Seed-Faith gift to you today.  And I believe it will bless you.  Over 1,000 ordered.  That means we’re under stress.  Okay, we need to overcome stress by the Word of God.

            I know what it’s like to be under stress, but we’re not supposed to be under stress.  We’re supposed to be overcomers, according to the Word of God.  So don’t forget, get your free copy of this stress book.  It’s my gift to you.

            I want to take you real quickly to Malachi 3:10 and 11, and there’s a reason I want to do this.  Now you may say, “Lindsay, why are you giving books away?”  Well, if you look on your website and you go there and you go in the bookstore part of it, you’ll see that there was a price for that book and that book is sold actually in bookstores.

            Okay, why am I doing this?  Because I need to sow a seed.  The Bible clearly talks about Malachi sowing a seed, talks very clearly in Luke about sowing a seed, talks very clearly in Philippians 4:13-19, sowing a seed.  But it’s not just sowing a seed.  It’s sowing a seed so that God can receive that seed and turn it into a harvest for you.

            You know, I believe with all my heart that God wants to receive your seed—not that God needs your money.  He’s walking on streets made out of gold, walls made out of jasper, gates made out of pearl.  That’s what the Bible says heaven is like.  And it’s not that He needs your three dollars or thirty dollars or three million dollars.  It’s that God wants to see you sow, so that in your heavenly account, according to Philippians 4:13-19— because it talks about your heavenly account—He can open you the windows of heaven.         

            And I believe when you look at Philippians 4:13-19, you get to say, “My God shall supply all my needs, and I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”  But you can’t do that until you sow seed.  Go look that up in Philippians 4:13-19.  “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”  Yes, that’s correct according to God’s Word.

            Then it goes into seedtime and harvest, giving and receiving, sowing and reaping.  And to that particular group, then God went on to say, “Now my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”  

            Now jump over to the last book of the Old Testament, the book of Malachi.  The prophet Malachi is talking about robbing God.  And it says, “Will a man rob God?”  Now if you get a picture visual of this, can you imagine somebody going up to heaven and going up to God and saying, “Stick ‘em up.”  That’s not robbing God.

            So Malachi was preaching this, and they said, “Where have we robbed God?”  And then Malachi was prophesying, “You’ve robbed God in tithe and offering, and you’re cursed with a curse.  But if you’ll return unto God, he will return unto you.  And bring tithe and offering into the storehouse,” or the place where you’re getting fed.

            And then he said, “Prove God.  See if I’ll not open you the windows of heaven, pour you out a blessing where there’s not room enough to receive it.”  And then this is the verse I keep chewing on, “and rebuke the devourer for your sake.”

            You know, many times we get into sticky situations or predicaments, and we think, I haven’t got a clue how to get out of this sticky situation.

            Well, God has a clue, and His clue is if you bring tithe and offering into the storehouse.  He promised to open you the windows of heaven, pour you out a blessing where there’s not even room enough to contain it all and rebuke the devourer.  Satan comes around as a devourer, the Bible says.  He will rebuke the devourer for your sake.

            Now I want to read you what people are doing.  This came in just since the program last night.  (Reading names)  Now you can’t buy healing, because if you could we’d all buy one.  But healing comes as a result of God opening the windows of heaven, pouring out a blessing and rebuking the devourer.  Well how does that happen?  When you bring tithe.

            So we’ve been encouraging people, when you sow your seed, don’t just sow your seed.  Specifically name what you would like God to rebuke as far as the devourer in your sake.  What is devouring your life?  (Reading names)  And what they’re doing with that seed is like a target.  They are aiming that seed against a specific need, expecting the devourer to be rebuked by God according to what I just read in Malachi 3:10 and 11.

            (Reading names)  Why would you give away your money if you have a financial problem?  Because what you sow, Luke 6:38 says, you will reap, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.  (Reading names) 

            If you have a prayer request or you’d like to sow a seed, pick up your telephone, dial 918-495-7777.  Give the Abundant Life Prayer Group prayer partner not only your seed, but be sure you give us your prayer request and say, “I’m aiming this seed to defeat my need.”  (Reading names)

            I want to jump over real quick to Psalm 103, and it says in Psalm 103:1-5—now I’m going to read it to you, but to be honest with you, my children and I have memorized this over and over since they were babies. 

            It says, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

            “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not his benefits.”  Now that’s another thing we need to do is bless the Lord.  The Bible says that we praise God in all situations.  It doesn’t say we praise Him for all situations, but in the midst of those situations.  We begin to praise God.  We bless the Lord with our soul, our mind, our will, our emotions. 

            And as we begin to bless the Lord and sow our seed unto God, I believe that’s when God honors His Word.  We sow our seed, He opens the windows of heaven, pours out a blessing, and He rebukes the devourer.  We bless Him with our mind, will, and emotions.  And he says right here, “He forgives our iniquities”—that’s our sins.  “He heals all of our diseases.”  Well, glory hallelujah for that!  And the formula is to bless the Lord. 

            “He redeems my life from destruction.  He crowns me with lovingkindness and tender mercies.  He satisfies my mouth with good things so that my youth is renewed like the eagle’s.  The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all who are oppressed.”

            Have you felt like something is oppressing you, that you just can’t get out from under that cloud of oppression?  Begin to bless the Lord.  Begin to sow your seed, and aim that seed for a specific need.

            And I believe according to God’s Word that’s when those windows of heaven are opened.  If you look in Philippians 4:13-19, like I said, he said, “Then my God shall supply all your need”—not according to the circumstance or the mess you’re in, but according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

            I believe the Bible.  I would like to listen to people, but sometimes people will let you down.  Sometimes you turn to the left and you hear one thing, and you turn to the right and hear the opposite.  Sometimes you go to one family member and they say one thing.  You go to another family member and they say the opposite.  And they’re not trying to hurt you, but you know what?  We need to go to God.

            When we’re oppressed, when we’re in a mess, when we are needing a miracle, I always say, “Go to the throne before you go to the phone.”  I believe we’ve got to go to God first.

            And if you have difficulty going to the throne in behalf of yourself, pick up your telephone.  Go to 918-495-7777 and ask the Abundant Life Prayer Group prayer partners to pray with you.  Now don’t pick up the phone to just chitchat to some of your friends and then we get the whole thing even deeper.

            If you’re going to pick up your phone, I want to encourage you, pick up your telephone and call the Prayer Group prayer partners to agree with you for a miracle, 918-495-77777.  Don’t forget to sow your seed.  As you sow your seed, when you do that, specifically say what you want that seed to defeat the need.  And we’re in agreement with that, and our prayer partners will bring those prayer requests to us and we want the privilege of praying for you.

  LR:

You know, I really believe God is working literally all over the world.  We are getting prayer requests.  This one is from England.  (Reading requests from India, Herdecke in Germany, South Africa, England, India, South Wales, United Arab Emerites, Nigeria, West Indies.)

            Father, in the name of Jesus, we just lift up every prayer request, every seed that’s been sown, every name and every need.  And in the name of Jesus, we just pray according to Your Word, Father God.  We pray as Psalm 107:20 says, “You sent your word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction.”

            Now, Father God, in the name of Jesus, we send the Word according to Your Word and Your will for people to be healed.  Satan, we speak directly to you.  And in the name of Jesus, we say, “Satan, take your hands off of God’s property,” in Jesus’ name, amen.  Amen.

            And I want to encourage you again, please allow me the privilege of sowing Overcoming Stress in your life.  Now the number is a toll-free number for a free book.  So that’s free, plus free, means you get the whole thing free, 866-870-6932, 866-870-6932.

            You know, in the last like four or five days there has been over 1,000 requests for these.  That means people are under stress.  But you know what?  God doesn’t want you under it.  God wants you to be an overcomer.  So please order the stress book.  It’s my free gift to you.

            And if you’d like further prayer, don’t forget—now we’re about 2:30 in the afternoon here in Tulsa time, live from the Prayer Tower.  And at eight o’clock live tonight we’re going to be back from the Prayer Tower with The Hour of Healing.  So please call in your prayer request.  If you’d like to make a Seed-Faith gift, area code 918-495-7777.  God will begin to move mountains, I believe, in your behalf according to the Word of God.

            Now as you sow your seed, say your specific need.  And then tonight they’re going to bring those prayer requests back to Richard and me, and we’re going to pray specifically over the names, the needs, the seeds that you are planting according to God’s Word.  And we’re going to believe for a miracle.

            If you need prayer, 918-495-7777.  You can go on-line at Oral Roberts Ministry website, orm.cc, write Richard Roberts and Lindsay Roberts at Tulsa, Oklahoma, 74102, or like I said, go to the telephone, 918-495-7777. 

            So right now I want to encourage you, begin to believe for your miracle.  Lord, whatever it is that they’re going through, spiritually, physically, financially, emotionally, in their family, I pray for God to minister healing to you in every area of your life, in Jesus’ name.

            Today make it count for the kingdom of God.

LR:
You know, I believe God is no respecter of persons.  Just what He did for Kathy in her back, I am believing that God can do for your back.

            So right now in the name of Jesus, we just speak to your back and we pray for your back to be healed from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet, for your back to come into alignment with the Word of God.  Back, you be healed. 

            Now while I’m praying that, it’s the strangest thing.  I feel like, you know, we’re supposed to pray for somebody that has been stabbed in the back.  Maybe you have been physically stabbed in the back, or you feel like you have been emotionally stabbed in the back and you cannot get past that.

            Or maybe it is a physical thing in your back.  Right now I’m speaking to backs to be healed.  No matter what it is you’re going through, I believe the name of Jesus is above every name named in heaven and earth, and at that name everything else has to bow.  So in the name of Jesus, we pray for your back to be healed, in Jesus’ name.

If you need prayer, 918-495-7777.  You can go on-line at Oral Roberts Ministry website, orm.cc, write Richard Roberts and Lindsay Roberts at Tulsa, Oklahoma, 74102, or like I said, go to the telephone, 918-495-7777.

            We did get a stack of prayer requests that just now just started coming in.  (Reading names)  Right now in the name of Jesus, we just speak by the authority of Jesus’ name, and we pray according to the Word and the will of God.  We speak directly to cancer. 

            Now why would I do that?  Because the Bible says we can, that we can speak directly to our mountain of difficulty and command it to be cast into the sea and not doubt in our heart but believe the things that we say shall come to pass, then we have whatsoever we say.  And that’s Mark 11:23 and 24.

            So in the name of Jesus, we speak directly to cancer to go and for your body to be healed, in Jesus’ name.  And anybody else that has a request, we’ve got several prayer requests.  (Reading names) 

            If you have a prayer request, pick up your telephone, go to the Abundant Life Prayer Group at 918-495-7777, and ask the prayer partner to pray for you.  But give us your specific prayer request.  And as you give those specific prayer requests, they’re going to bring them here.  And then tonight at eight o’clock, Richard and I are here right again from The Hour of Healing, right here in the Prayer Tower with the Prayer Group prayer partners, live in Tulsa time, eight o’clock.  And we will continue to pray for those prayer requests. 

            Right now we want to go take a break.  I want you to watch this message, and we’re going to be right back.
