You’re Not a Failure

15 May, 2013 (11:45) | Richard Roberts | By: admin

We all make mistakes every day. I was reading a book recently about Thomas Edison, and I learned that along his way to inventing the light bulb he made 6,000 mistakes!  But when someone would remind him that he’d been a failure 6,000 times, he never agreed with that statement.  He always said, “No.  I just learned 6,000 ways not to make a light bulb!”

Failing doesn’t make you a failure!  When you go to bed at night, you can get on your face before God and say, “Lord, I’m sorry for the mistakes I’ve made today.  Please give me a new start tomorrow and help me do it right.”  And according to the Word of God, He not only forgives your sins, or mistakes, He also forgets them (Micah 7:19).

Once you’ve given your mistakes to God, it’s important to remember that He has forgiven you and given you a new start.    When the devil tries to make you feel guilty for your past, hold fast to God’s promise in Romans 8:1, which says there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

I believe that when we keep a positive, Word-centered, determined attitude and allow God to work in us, He can complete the good work He has begun in all of our lives.

And if God is for us, who can ever be against us? (Romans 8:31 NLT).

Make Your Day Count with Lindsay Roberts

7 May, 2013 (05:35) | Richard Roberts | By: admin

LR: Okay, I want to say this one more time.  Pick up your telephone, call the toll-free number, 866-870-6932, 866-870-6932.  That will be an operator, and that operator will talk to you about the stress book, and the stress book is my free gift to you.  Or you can write Richard Roberts and Lindsay Roberts, Tulsa, OK, 74102.  I want to sow seed into you.  So please allow me that privilege of giving this book to you.  It is a seed from my heart.

And, you know, I remember one day when I was writing it, I was so stressed out.  And my daughter came to me and said, “Mom, is it a little ridiculous that you’re stressed over writing a stressed book?”  And I thought, That is ridiculous.

And I got to the Word of God on my own manuscript, and I sat down and I began to read what I was writing.  And I said, “You know what?  God doesn’t want us to live underneath the mess.”  God said He wanted us to live exceedingly abundantly far above anything we could dare ask or think.

And He loves us so much that He wants to minister healing to us.  So this book was written not out of some la-la land.  This book was written out of my life and what I went through.  And you know what?  I think I could add a few more chapters to it lately.

But, you know, the most important thing is, God wants us to prosper and be in health, even as our soul prospers.  And your soul is your mind, will, and emotions.  And that’s where stress starts to hit us.  So please, 866-870-6932.  Call that number, and please allow me the privilege of giving that book to you.

I want to tell you a little bit more about some of the calls that have come in.  (Reading names)

In the name of Jesus, we just lift up every name, every need, every financial request, every ministry request.  Father God, in the name of Jesus, we just are asking You right now to minister to the needs of people.

I am asking for healing in every area, spirit, soul, and body, in the name of Jesus.  And right now I want to pray for you, whatever it is you’re going through.  Maybe it is in the soul realm, your mind, your will, and emotions.  I can’t even begin to tell you how many prayer requests I’ve seen for depression.  That’s not from God, and I am praying for God to break the spirit of depression off of you and you to be healed in your mind, in your will, in your emotions.  God’s not given you the spirit of fear, but power, love, and a sound mind.

Praying for your finances, for your family, for your marriage.  In the name of Jesus, whatever it is you have need of, I am praying for God to bless you from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet, in every area, in Jesus’ name.

Now don’t forget, 866-870-6932, 866-870-6932.  Please request this stress book and let me sow it to you as my gift, as my gift to you, as a privilege.  Please let me sow that book into your life.  If you need further prayer or if you’d like to sow a seed into this ministry, feel free to call the Abundant Life Prayer Group, 918-495-7777.  Or you can write Richard Roberts and Lindsay Roberts, Tulsa, OK, 74102.  Let us pray for you today, and make it count.

Spirit of God

SPKM JIM WINSLOW Now, Reverend, that’s called a gurney.

SPKM LARRY LEA A gurney, all right.  I need help.  And here was the prayer partner walking along praying in tongues, praying in the Holy Spirit for that patient.  Then the doctor was right there beside praying for the patient.  I looked at my wife, I said, “Honey, if I ever get sick, you bring me to this place right here.”  (Applause)  Now the marked difference between this place and any other place is that the Holy Spirit just hovers here.  The finest medical care in the world.  But the Spirit of God is there.  And when you come, you’re not just going to receive the medical care, but you’re going to be prayed for.  And we’re believing God for great miracles for all of those that come. Praise God.

SPKM JIM WINSLOW We ought to hire him.  (Amen)

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS We have.  We have.  He’s the new dean of the seminary.

SPKM JIM WINSLOW He reminded me of one thing, Richard.  People who have not been to Tulsa may not know their way around town. You don’t have to worry about that.  We’re going to get you from the airport out to the City of Faith and you can stay in the City of Faith even if you don’t have to be in the hospital.  We have a unit called the Bethany Unit, a place of rest.  Just like a hotel inside the City of Faith where you can stay, you can take your meals in the cafeteria.  We’ll sell you those at a discount. It’s the best place in town to stay if you’re sick because you don’t have to run around.  You’re right there in the place.  You don’t have to worry about getting lost, you don’t have to worry about taxicabs.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Now don’t you have a limited number of rooms in that Bethany Unit?

SPKM JIM WINSLOW Well, we have 63 rooms in that unit.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS And you can only use them, if it’s filled, it’s filled.

SPKM JIM WINSLOW It’s filled.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS If it’s filled, it’s filled.  But there are hotels in the area.

SPKM JIM WINSLOW Right across the street.  And right up the street.  There must be 500 hote rooms within this immediate vicinity, so what I’m trying to say to you is, you don’t have to worry about running all over town.  You’re right here nearby.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Praise God for that.  So you pick up your telephone and call the number that’s on your screen right now, 1-918-493-8484, and make your appointment at the City of Faith. And I believe God’s going to bring a great blessing in your life. ORU Singers, are you about ready to sing?  I see cameras moving. I don’t ever give anybody any notice when I’m going to do something, Lindsay.  I just do it.

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS They love you for it.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS I see my cameramen moving and microphones are flying across the room and they’re saying, “Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, we’re almost ready.”

SPLR LINDSAY ROBERTS They panic a little bit, but that’s O.K. We’re used to you now.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS And they’re going to sing, “He’s More Than Wonderful.”  Give them a good handclap as they sing.  (Applause)

SPKM ORU SINGERS  SONG Hes_more_than_wonderful  TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE OFFER

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS My very special guests are the ministers, pastors of Bread of Life in Houston, Texas, Dusty and Rhonda Kemp.  Dusty, God bless you.  Welcome to Tulsa.  (Applause)  I heard, I heard about your ministry through Cheryl Prewitt Salem who had come down to Houston to minister with you.  And she told me so many good things about you and I just wanted to know if any of it was really true.

SPKM DUSTY KEMP Well, it depends what she said.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS So I wanted to invite you to come up and be with us here in Tulsa.  I understand that you grew up in the same city, but that your meeting each other was sort of a miracle and your coming to Christ was a miracle.  Would you just take a few moments, Dusty, and kind of give the background of your testimony?

SPKM DUSTY KEMP Sure.  When I was six years old, I was a Methodist and it was summertime, and asked by my best friend to come over to Baptist Bible school.  And I went over to Baptist Bible school and in the general assembly that they had in the beginning of the service that morning the Lord really moved upon my heart.  And so when the pastor gave an altar call, I went down front and told him I wanted to be a preacher. I guess by a prophecy by the Spirit of God at that time.

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Now you were six?

Prayer Requests

25 April, 2013 (03:34) | Richard Roberts | By: admin

LR: And, you know, we’re sitting here live, believing God for those same miracles that you saw on that roll-in to come into your life.  Now I’ve got three different groups here, and this group is testimonies since last night that have been healed as a result of prayer.  This group is sowing a financial seed, believing God for financial miracles and any other miracle that they have need of.  According to Malachi 3, when you give offering, then God rebukes the devourer for your sake.  That’s what He wrote in Malachi.

And then this group is believing for miracles, and this particular group have just now called in.  And I want to go through these as fast as we can because there’s quite a big stack.  And then we’re going to go in the back and pray again with the Abundant Life Prayer Group.

I want you to listen to this.  And if you see yourself in any of these categories, and as we’re praying for these categories, you attach your faith to that prayer and believe God for your miracle.

Now God said He’s no respecter of persons.  So what He did in the different people that you just saw giving their testimonies, testifying to the presence and the power of God, you begin to experience the same thing in your life.  What God did for somebody else, as you stretch out your faith, God’s not a respecter of persons.  He is a respecter of faith, the Bible says.  Jesus said He saw their faith.  So we’re going to stretch out our faith and go into agreement for your miracle.

(Reading requests).  And, you know, I’m just going to say this right out.  I’m reading them, but I’m not in agreement with the diagnosis.  I’m in agreement with God’s miracle.  Okay?  But we want to say—the reason I want to give it a name, the reason I want to call out the people’s names with their need, is that my Bible says that God has given to us a name that’s above every name named in heaven and earth and at that name, the name of Jesus, all this other stuff has to bow.  And that’s what we’re going to pray.  (Reading requests)  God said if you lack wisdom that He would freely and liberally give you wisdom.  (Reading requests)

Right now, Father, in the name of Jesus, we lift these up and every one that continues to come in.  And we thank You, my Father God, according to Your Word and Your will.  You sent Your Word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction.

I thank You, Lord, as people are calling in and stretching out their faith, You are a God that stretches right back with miracles, in Jesus’ name, amen.  Amen.  We want you to stay tuned.  Keep calling.  We’re going to be right back.

AD:  60 Years of Miracles

LR: Okay, we’re back and once again we’re right here standing with the Abundant Life Prayer Group.  If you call right now, 918-495-7777, this is the particular group that you’re looking at right now that will be on the telephone.

And I want to tell you something.  Someone said, “What is the scripture I just read about rebuking the devourer?”  That’s Malachi 3:10 and 11.  It says, “When you bring your tithe and offering into the storehouse that God opens the windows of heaven, he pours you out a blessing where there’s not room enough to receive it, and he rebukes the devourer for your sake.”

A lot of people are sowing seeds against their need, believing God for a miracle.  (Reading names of people sowing Seed-Faith)  There’s a whole stack, and we’ll never get to them.  So right now in the name of Jesus, Father God, we thank You that Luke 6:38 says, “Give, and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over.”

And You also said, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked.  Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”  And so we are praying for harvest, financial blessing to come on each and every person sowing seed.

If you feel like you’d like to sow a seed, feel free to call the Abundant Life Prayer Group.  Give us your prayer request.  Sow your seed at 918-495-7777.  That’s 918-495-7777.

But if you’re going to plant a seed, you be sure and give us a prayer request and say, “I am planting this seed to defeat this need, in the name of Jesus.”

And I also want to tell you, we’re going to be back live tonight at eight o’clock, Hour of Healing live, right here tonight from the Prayer Group.

Now I’m going to give you one more number, same number I’ve been saying, 866—that’s toll-free.  That means it’s free.  Toll-free means freebie—866-870-6932.  If you would like the Overcoming Stress book, please allow me the privilege of giving this book to you.  No charge.

I remember when Oral Roberts was on television and I was a little girl.  He’d say, “My book is free and postpaid.”  Well, I want to tell you, so is mine.  This book is my free gift to you, Overcoming Stress.  And all you have to do is 866-870-6932.  That number is on your screen.  And don’t forget, you can call the Abundant Life Prayer Group, because we’re going to be around here praying.  You can write to Richard Roberts and Lindsay Roberts, Tulsa, OK 74102.   And we’re coming back tonight live at eight o’clock on The Hour of Healing to pray for your needs.

So bless you in the name of Jesus.  You be healed, set free and delivered, in Jesus’ name.  Make it count today.
