RR: Well, Sandra, I, well, what happened, Sandra?

S: Well, I turned on the TV.  I generally listen to 21, but I don’t know why, I’ve always missed your program, but you and your wife were on and you gave, you know, prayer for healing and knowledge. And I did, I prayed with you. And I went to the bedroom and I got down on my knees, and, Richard, that’s something I hadn’t done in four years.  I hadn’t been able to use my knees, and I was down there for a whole hour asking for forgiveness and praying.  And when I got up, there was no more pain.

RR: Did you notice, Robin and Marilyn, she was asking forgiveness. Forgiveness was a part of it, wasn’t it, Sandra?

S: It sure was.

RR: Wow!  And you’ve gone from a cane

S: Yeah, I started out, I always lay in bed, I couldn’t stand up. And, Richard, you know, I’ve had scoliosis since birth and I cannot sit other than driving or for a mealtime.  And ever since that healing, I’ve been able to sit and enjoy company, and I don’t have to stand all the time anymore.

RR: And you’re walking normally?

S: I walk normal.

LR: You said up and down stairs even?

S: Up and down stairs and I can lift myself up on a chair if I had to change a light bulb.  In bed I would have to have somebody assist me to turn over because it was so bad.  I don’t have that problem no more.

RR: Oh, glory to God!  Sandra thanks for calling.  What a wonderful testimony.  There’s a person, your muscles in your arm have deteriorated.  It’s almost like atrophy, and God’s healing you right now, right now.  Whoever you are, get up and call the Prayer Group at 918-495-7777.

I’m still waiting to hear Robin, last night I gave a word of knowledge about a person with a withered arm.  One arm was half the size of the other arm.  I’m still waiting on that person to call and let me know what has happened, because the arm began to grow.  Sometimes when I give a word, I get an instant response.

Sometimes I get it the next day.  Sometimes I get it the next week.  Sometimes like Sandra, a couple of weeks later I’ll hear the word back from the person as people see this program.  But I’ll tell you, I am so fired up tonight.  Wow!  Lynwood, what’s happening?

RR: Now what are you sensing in your heart?

RG: Well, I agree with what, exactly what you were saying in the first half hour of the program, particularly from Acts, chapter 5.  They prayed, “Lord, stretch forth thine hands to heal,” you know, “in the name of thy holy Son Jesus.”  And that was Acts, chapter 4.  I’m sorry.  But in Acts, chapter 5, it was manifested through the apostles.

So what you’re doing is absolutely scriptural and that anointing flows through the hands of those that believe.  So God is using signs and wonders to captivate the lost and then having someone preach the Gospel to them that they might be saved.  As you read in Acts, chapter 5, after the signs and wonders, multitudes were added to the church.

RR: And isn’t that the bottom line, Marilyn, getting people baptized in the Holy Spirit, and the miracles. Well, the Bible, I think it’s in John 6:2, says that the multitude followed Jesus because of the miracles that He did.  I mean, they were captivated by the miracles and yet they stayed tuned and they came to God in their lives.

MG: Yes, it is a form of attracting attention of the people so that we can get the Gospel to them.

RG: In today’s world we have to show that God is God, that He is God all by himself.  Psychics, astrologers, root workers, palm readers, they cannot help the people.  Only our God can do it. And I’m always reminded of Elijah, where he said, “Why halt ye between two opinions?  If God is God, let us serve him.  If Baal is God, let’s serve Baal.”  In other words, Elijah was saying there has to be a demonstration of the power of God, and that’s the hour that we’re in.  And that’s why there are so many miracles and the supernatural operating through your ministry.

RR: About eight months ago, God gave a word of prophecy to my father, Oral Roberts, and in that word of prophecy was a phrase where “healing is coming big time.”

RG: Praise God.

MG: Well, you know, Richard, I have been experiencing that.  We’ve been seeing that in Charlotte.  I have been seeing God move more in the realm of healing and miracles, creative miracles, as well as healing in our ministry.  It’s definitely been an increase where we are as well.

RR: Any testimony in particular that stands out in your mind, Marilyn?

LR: Well, he said something about that.

RR: Because the tumor was wrapped around the vocal cords.  He’s been in the hospital for over six months, but Mack’s wife has continually called the Abundant Life Prayer Group and Mack has kept watching this program, the Hour of Healing, and we’ve been praying and stretching out my hands in prayer.  They’ve been touching my hands, and now they say Mack is able to speak.  He sends his greetings from the Central Church of God in Atlanta, and thanks God and thanks Richard for the prayers and for the Hour of Healing.  Hallelujah!  We’ve got to find out what is going on in Kennisaw, Georgia.  Glory to God!  Glory to God! Lynwood, do you have a testimony?  We’ve got to find out; we’ve got to find out more details from Mack?

LW: Okay.  Well, just a moment ago, Richard, you were talking about so many backs being healed.

RR: Yes.

LW: Well, about, actually five or six weeks ago and we love a healing that lasts Patricia from Defiance, Ohio, she had injured her back, six years of pain she had been in.  Right as you was going off the air.

RR: years.

LW: Right as you were going off the air you had a word of knowledge about a right shoulder being healed, and she received that word. She wants to share her testimony with you.  Patricia.

RR: Patricia.  Hello, Patricia.

P: Hello there, Brother Richard.

RR: How are you tonight?

P: I am wonderful through the grace of God.

RR: Tell me, what has happened to you since we prayed?

P: I have absolutely no pain whatsoever.  I was, I injured my arm at work and when I injured it, it felt like electricity bolts were shooting through the back of my arm.  And from that day forth, my arm just hurt all the time.  And I went to a chiropractor and he checked it and he said there was about an inch separation in that shoulder and that he would try to help me out, but the pain was so bad I couldn’t even stand to go to the doctor, for him to work with it.  And for six years now I’ve had pain all the time, so bad that to ride in a car I had to carry a pillow with me to rest my arm on.

LR: Six years.

LR: Right now, you who are suffering with cancer or some other terminal thing that they’ve told you, you know the Bible says, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine,” and you may be taking physical medicine from the doctor, actual chemical medicine from the doctor, but it doesn’t seem to help your heart, and you seem to be defeating yourself because of all the fear in your heart. I speak directly to the fear right now.  And the only way to drive the fear out is by bringing faith in.  And faith comes by hearing the Word of God.  Surround yourself with people of faith.

Call the Abundant Life Prayer Group at 918-495-7777.  Get in the Word of God.  Get words, either healing Scriptures or one of Oral’s tapes or something that begins to fill your heart and your mind with faith to drive that fear out, because as long as that fear is sitting there, no matter what they do for you medically, as long as the fear is there, that’s going to be a hindrance to your healing. And I speak to that fear, and I curse it and I command it out of you in the name of Jesus.

RR: There are other testimonies coming right now.  Betty in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  “Richard, you gave a word of knowledge earlier tonight.  You said fourteen people’s arms are being healed.”  I said that earlier. “About three years ago I got locked out of my car, so I banged my arm against the car to open it.  And now when you gave that word, I am completely healed.  Thank God, I am healed.” Jean in Greenville, Tennessee.  Jean has been bothered with asthma, bronchitis, and a lung condition for a long time. “Richard, you gave a word of knowledge tonight about lungs being healed.  You said, ‘Lay your hand on your chest.’  I did, and I am healed.  My breathing has completely cleared up.”  Glory to God, glory to God.  Sue.  Sue, what do you have Sue?

SUE JESTER: Pat in West Seneca, New York you had a word of knowledge last night about a knee and arthritis in it.

RR: I said it was all swollen up, didn’t I, last night?

SUE JESTER: Yes, like a baseball, she said, and very painful.  She’s on the air.

RR: Hello, Pat.

PAT: Hello.  How are you?

RR: I’m just fine, Pat.  How are you tonight?

PAT: Oh, I thank you.  I am cured.  Listen, I’ve been praying so for a cure for my knee.  It was injured, and they didn’t know if it would cripple me or not.  And you said, “I’ve been praying for a cure.”  And Lindsay at one point, her daughter was hurt and she said, “Mama, pray.” And she said, “How long do you want me to pray?” And she said, “Until it stops hurting.”

LR: That’s right.

PAT: And that’s what I told God:  “I’m going to pray till it stops hurting.”

LR: Right.
