SPKM BUCK AND DOTTIE SONG I_was_the_reason (APPLAUSE)
SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Buck and Dottie, come and join us, please. James was saying a word to me, Buck and Dottie. Dottie, come and sit right here. This is the pregnant seat, Dottie. All the women that sit on this seat –
SPKM DOTTIE RAMBO Oh, that’s fine with me. I get pregnant with songs all the time.
SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS (LAUGHTER) Lindsay is not here today. But James had something on his heart that he wants to share. And James, we have just a few moments left, I want you to just follow the Lord.
SPKM JAMES ROBISON First, let me say how much I love you. Buck and Dottie, you are so precious. What a beautiful testimony of restoration. And thank God that you’ve been restored and we’ve got those great songs that you are singing. And what a beautiful gift that you shared with us a moment ago. Let me just say something — and I asked Richard if I could say this. Because I love Richard Roberts, I love the restoration of the Lord Jesus in his life. Boy, Richard, I can’t ever think about what God has done in your life that I wouldn’t think about if one of my children had been subjected to the kind of pressure you were subjected to as a preacher’s kid. And of course, I know you have made mistakes, too. But you had a lot of pressure — and then in your own life you blew it.
SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Yes.
SPKM JAMES ROBISON But you came back to a God that had grace — that Jesus’ grace is greater than the prophet’s message, it was greater than Jonah’s message of destruction.
SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Yes.
SPKM JAMES ROBISON The grace of Jesus stood in there and forgave the whole town and the prophet went off and pouted. And he was a true prophet. And I want the true prophets that are sometimes a little bit sharp with their words to remember, the grace of Jesus stands between the wicked and the true prophet’s message and says, “I’ll give you hope and restoration.” And I bless the Lord for what God has done in Richard’s life. I want to tell you something. I am proud of the Jesus working in Richard’s life and in Lindsay — I love this couple. And I love Oral and Evelyn Roberts. And you’ve got to remember, my background was to be unkind and critical of them. And I was unkind, and that is why I had to get right with God and right with Oral and Evelyn. And I love them. And we are all being perfected and refined. This ministry has come through a great time of pressure, but also a great time of spiritual refreshing. Boy, there is a revival in this campus and in this ministry, and a great outpouring of support. But let me say something to you — many time after that great outpouring the tendency is to sort of fold your hands and let down. Don’t you do that. I’m saying to everyone that loves the ministry of Jesus through Oral Roberts, through Richard Roberts, through their families — don’t you let down. More than ever you say — I’m going to seek God. I’m going to obey God. I’m going to continue to sow seeds in good soil. And I am going to invest in eternity and eternal purposes. And I challenge you with all my heart, stand behind this ministry as never before — with your prayers and with your financial support. (APPLAUSE) I plead with you to do that.
SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Praise God. We only have about 60 seconds before our program closes today, but I want everyone to join hands, and may we join hands together. Someone may be ill in your body today, and I want to pray PRRR for you. There is no distance in prayer. In Jesus’ name, in Jesus’ name, in Jesus’ name I come against the devil’s attack in your life. SR01 And I set myself in agreement with his word, the word says, “If two or three shall agree on anything as touching anything on this earth, it shall be done of my Father which is in heaven.” ( RR_Matthew_18:19 ) And I agree by faith for you — for a miracle in your life. I speak to the sickness and to the disease. I speak to the fear. I speak to the things in your life that are unlike God. I speak to the discouragement. I speak to the financial distress, in Jesus’ name be healed. Be healed from your head to your feet. Be healed. Be set free from the devil’s domination. Be delivered. Oh, I believe there is no distance in prayer. God’ healing power can flow right from this place, through this television camera, right where you are watching this program. I thank God for miracles. I thank God for miracles. I want you to step to your telephone and let me know what God is doing in your life. 918 495-7777. The Abundant Life Prayer Group is on duty seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Hallelujah. James and Betty, God bless you. Duck and Bottie — listen to me. (LAUGHTER) Buck and Dottie Rambo, we love you with all of our hearts. I knew one of these days I would do that on live television. I knew it.
SPKM DOTTIE RAMBO Oh, you aren’t the first.
