ANNOUNCER: It is from tiny drops of water flowing together in explosive harmony that the great Niagara is harnessed into a course of life-giving power.  And everything that exists today or is a hope for the future must originate from something and begin somewhere.  There must be a source, there must be a seed.

In his new book, The Source, The Seed, The Answer, Richard Roberts shares the secrets he has learned about the eternal principles of seedtime and harvest, of sowing and reaping seeds of faith to receive a miracle harvest in every area of your life.

Firmly based on the Word of God, this book will show you why sowing seeds of faith is one of the most powerful forces on the face of the earth.

As a companion to this Seed-Faith manual, Oral Roberts has written a pocket-sized prayer book to help you speak faith into any situation.  Prayers for Seed-Faith Living will become your constant companion for prayer, when you need a little encouragement or just don’t know how to pray.  It contains over one hundred specific prayers, all written personally by Oral Roberts, and each conveniently placed in general categories for easy reference.

To receive both books, just call 918-495-7777, or write Oral Roberts Ministries, Tulsa, Oklahoma.  In Canada, Toronto, Ontario.  For as long as the earth remains, there will be seedtime and harvest.

Hello, Sue, what do you have?

SUE: I have Eric, who is six years old, in Las Banas, California. When I called to check on him, sometimes I call and check and see if everything’s okay when we have prayers come in.  He answered the phone and he says, “I’ve been waiting on you.”  He’s been waiting on his miracle.

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?

RR: Everyone who has soreness in your body, everybody who has soreness and you’re watching me right now, you have soreness in your body, lay your hand on yourself right now.  It’s the time to get the soreness removed too.  Christine laid your hand on your shoulder. Thank God, You Thank you, and Father that you’ve healed the break in the shoulder.  Lord, now there is still soreness and tenderness.  In the authority of Oh, there it comes, Christine, right there in Jesus’ name, in Jesus’ name.  Are thou made whole.  All the soreness, go.  Ah, glory to God.  Quite a number of you watching right now, you felt the soreness just begin to leave your body.  Christine, just begin to move your shoulder.  You’re going to find the soreness is gone right now. Just begin to move it right now.  Just begin to move it.  Just begin to move it, Christine, right there where you are. What difference can you tell in it now, Christine?

CHRISTINE: I’m trying to move it.

RR: Just go ahead and move it.  Something is happen, Christine. Something is happening in a lot of people’s lives tonight.

CHRISTINE: Oh, praise God.

RR: Soreness. What did you say?

CHRISTINE: I just said praise God.

RR: Yeah, praise God is right.  Something is happening in your shoulder right now and lots of other people’s shoulders.  I give glory to God that the healing of your shoulder is complete.  And now, Lord, I thank you that the soreness is gone in Jesus’ name. Christine, God bless you.  Thanks for calling.  Give her good God bless you tonight.  Thank you, Christine.

LR: Another Christine called from Indiana.

RR: Another Christine.

LR: Uh-huh, and said that she was suicidal and was ready to give up. And we were talking, and she said I said what she wanted to hear.

RR: Oh, you were talking about it, honey.

LR: And she said she couldn’t breathe, and God began to give her hope.  She lost her only son in March and felt like she had no hope.  She said tonight is the first time she could get through, and she’d like to just thank us.

You know, so many people feel like they just don’t have any hope, Richard.  They’ve heard bad reports, they’ve been through bad reports, they’ve walked through the valleys, and it’s just time for people to have hope, because Jesus is the hope of glory, Richard.  He came that we might have life.  He didn’t come that we might have life; He came that we would have life and has it more abundantly. And, you know, as important as Christine’s shoulder is to God, so is Christine in Indiana is her life to God.  God cares about the big things, the little things.  You know, I think maybe one of the most spectacular verses in the Bible is that God numbers the hairs on our head.  Why would He do that?  He cares so much about every tiny, little, picky detail. And you know I adore my children.  You know that.  But I don’t know how many hairs they have on their head.  I never stopped and counted them.  But God did.  Isn’t that incredible? But God came to give us hope.  And if you’re hopeless today, if you just said today, “I’m hopeless.  I’m without hope.  I have no hope,” in the name of Jesus…

And, Father, I release the anointing right now.  I release the healing anointing even now flowing into their heart, into their body, into their soul, making them ever so whit whole in Jesus’ name.  Now there’s the presence of God right now in your living room, in your bedroom.  There’s people weeping right now. That’s the presence of the Lord.  Don’t try to cover that up. Just continue.  Just let the Lord minister to you right now. That sickness is leaving your body.  Even as you’re forgiving, you’re feeling a clearing in your heart.  You’re feeling a clearing in your spirit.  That’s the Spirit of the Lord.  He’s washing you now in Jesus’ name.  Hallelujah!

RR: John, there are those right now that are watching.  You’re feeling the power and the presence of the Lord, feeling the power and the presence of the Lord.  I want you to pick up your phone right now and call us, 918-495-7777.  Call us.  Let us know what is happening.  Let us again set our faith in agreement with you.

Lisa, there’s something I want you to pray about for the people, but you’re going to have to set it up by telling the story of what you personally went through.  Now the story is in your book, The True Measure of a Woman concerning what you went through with anorexia.  I feel led to minister to people who have been through or who are going through something like you went through in your life, of how you overcame it.  Let’s minister to people who are suffering with anorexia or bulimia or some type of eating disorder tonight.

L: Well, when I was 15 years old, Richard, I came home from school one day, and a 15-year-old doesn’t usually have a concept of their body.  And I remember coming in and having my dad look at me and say, “Come here.  You are fat!  You’re huge!”  And I remember at that time as a little girl, thinking, “I never even knew I was heavy.”  And he goes, “You go weigh yourself right now.”  And I ran back into my parents’ room and I weighed myself, and I was overweight.  He said, “I bet you weigh 140 pounds and you’re too young to weigh that much.”  And I weighed myself and, sure enough, he was right.

Around this time of year we celebrate Valentine’s Day and people’s thoughts often turn to love. 

But I want to talk to you about one kind of love that doesn’t come up very often, and that is loving yourself.  

I don’t mean that you should have an inflated ego.  But most of the time I don’t see people with overly inflated egos, loving themselves too much.  Instead I see people, even Christians, who are struggling with their self-worth, not believing that they are valuable and precious to God. 

Matthew 22:39 NIV says, Love your neighbor as yourself.  But how can you love your neighbor until you have completed the process of loving yourself? 

Too many of us are suffering from a low self-esteem when we don’t have to.  If satan is trying to put low self-esteem on you, don’t accept the package!  The Bible says, If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new (II Corinthians 5:17 NKJV).

You can begin to love yourself when you realize that God has made you a brand new creation, and He has created you in His own image.  You are a reflection of Him! 

Not only that, but you are worth the price that Jesus paid for you on the Cross.  God sent His only Son as a ransom for you, and that makes you very valuable.  You are God’s prize, His treasure.  He paid no higher price for anything than He paid for you.

If you’ve struggled with self-esteem, it’s time to stop believing the lie that you’re inferior or worthless.  As the body of Christ, we’ve learned to refute the lie that we have to be sick or that we have to be poor.  So let’s refute the lie that we are worthless.  You are so valuable to God that He sent His Son to buy you back from the hands of the enemy!

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.
