Make Your Day Count

I had that when the doctors told me I’d never walk again. Richard Roberts was laying in the hospital. My left leg was completely crushed. There wasn’t anything left in my left leg. And yet I kept thinking to myself, OK, do I accept this? I didn’t have any teaching either. No one taught me that I could believe. No one taught me that I could confess. But I said to my father, I first of all found out what God was like and I found out He wanted me whole.

And then when I found out He wanted me whole, I said, “OK, I’m not going to look at the leg. I’m not going to look at the circumstances. I look to God.” And even my Sunday school teachers and the nurses and the doctors and everybody would come in and say, “Honey, you’ve got to accept that you’re going to be a cripple the rest of your life.” And I would say, “No, because my God is like my father. The Word says my God is like my earthly father.” And Richard Roberts watched my earthly father and he wanted me whole.

And so I thought, all right, if he wants me whole, then God wants me whole. I was a little girl but I believed it and I received it. Just preach it. People need to hear what you have to say. Well, I know it works because I tried it. I was just a little girl but I believed that if God is like my daddy, and He is, my daddy cried tears of compassion. He wanted me whole but he couldn’t make me whole. My daddy could not make me whole, but he could pray.

And he prayed and I believed and I went to God and I looked at Him as my Father. And I said, “Father, You are God. Yes, but You’re my Father and You want me whole. So I ask You to heal me.” I didn’t tell Him how He had to do it. I didn’t tell Him when He had to do it. But I knew that He wanted me whole. So I trusted Him. And every time somebody would tell me, “No, you cannot have this. No, you won’t be whole. No, you’re going to be a cripple. You are going to be a cripple,” I’d say, “I will not receive that. I will not believe that. God is my God. He’s my Father and I receive it.” That was, that was doubt talk that you were hearing.

It’s in here, right there. Her husband had looked for a job for two years. This is the one that I saw just before the program began, it came from the last program. This is also from Henderson, Kentucky. “Ronald,” she said, “her husband, had looked for a job for two years.” Two years looking for a job, unemployed, looking for a job. “Last week she called Richard Roberts and the Abundant Life Prayer Group for prayer and Saturday he was hired at a job at $10.30 an hour.”

(Praise the Lord) That’s the one I was looking for. Lindsay, miracles are happening. (That’s right) Lindsay and Richard Roberts were talking faith talk, not doubt talk. This is a lady that said she had called for her little grandbaby who was born a month premature with a hole in her heart, jaundice, and they said her lungs were not completely developed. The doctor went in and said that her weight had reached five pounds.

He said the baby was a miracle baby, and he can’t find anything wrong with the baby. He’s going to let her come home. Praise God. The doctor called her a miracle baby. Praise the Lord. Cheryl, do you have a testimony? A great one. This lady called for prayer because she had a tumor on her body.

And the prayer partner prayed with her. The tumor was gone. And she went to the doctor and the doctor verified that the tumor is gone. She called back to say, “Hey, it’s gone and the doctor said it’s gone.” That’s faith talk. How do you feel about that, Lindsay?

You know, it’s usually the very time you get something wrong with you, suddenly your fear begins to talk. The devil attacks your mind and the first thing that comes into your mind is, you’re never going to get well. This is the worst thing that could happen to you. You’re going to be sick. You’re this, you’re that. The first thing that we’ve got to learn to do when something comes against us is stop looking at the circumstance and let our faith talk.

Richard Roberts, so I did it kind of out of meanness. I do it to irritate him. One of these days I’ll tell you some of the names I call her. No, you can’t do that on the air. Share your testimony. Get me out of this, Meadowlark.

OK. Healed in the left side and she now has no pain and it’s because of she’s been completely healed. Where’s she calling from? This is down Texas, her name is Linda Martinez. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Here’s a testimony from Newark, Ohio. “Richard Roberts had a word of knowledge on the program about someone’s arm being healed. My arm has been healed.

I’ve had a birth defect in my arm,” from birth naturally. It’s a birth defect. “And it’s caused much pain. Lately the pain has been worse. When you prayed and had a word of knowledge about someone’s arm being healed, all the pain in my arm was healed.” That’s from Ohio. Here’s a, here’s a back pain healed in Michigan. Here is Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and these testimonies are coming from the program, the last program.

Here is a young boy eight years old, said, “As I was watching the program today the Lord healed my foot.” Here is, here is a woman in Detroit, Michigan. “I called last week for prayer for my husband who has been out of work for four months. Three days later he got a job. God has answered my prayer.”

Here is Henderson, Kentucky. “Richard had a word of knowledge about someone’s shoulder being healed.” She said, “I’ve suffered f-from my shoulder for three weeks, but when you spoke the word of knowledge my shoulder is healed. I can move it without any pain.” Here’s a caller from Edmond, Oklahoma, a young man said, he called to tell Richard Roberts and the Abundant Life Prayer Group prayer partners, “Thank you for praying for him to get through
college.

I just graduated recently with my bachelor degree.” Now that’s a good thing to pray for. (That’s right) To get through college. And, well, Lindsay, I don’t see the one, there was one about About what? About the newborn baby? No, I want to hear that one too in a minute

A little boy had an earache and said to his mamma, “My ear hurts.” And she said, “I’m going to pray for you.” And she laid hands on his ear and prayed for him. And she said, “Now, son, we’re waiting on the manifestation.” About 20 minutes went by and he called out to his Mamma, “Mamma, mamma, my ear still aches, where is that man from the station?”

Richard Roberts believes in faith talk. I’m joined today by Meadowlark Lemon and Cheryl Pruitt. Meadowlark, I believe in speaking God’s Word. Even in the face of circumstances, when it doesn’t look like by the natural eye that God can work a miracle. Amen, yes. He just worked one for me.

You know, I wear glasses when I read. You know, I can see something across the room but if I try to read, you know, either I have to put it up here, you know, without my glasses. And Richard Roberts just picked these prayers up and I just started reading.

Without your glasses,Without my glasses, I forgot them. Can you see?
Yes. See, I’d been praying, I’d been praying about this. You’d been praying about it. Yes, for some time, and I just forgot about it. And then I just picked this up and I read through a few of these before–

Show me, read a testimony without your glasses. OK, this is, RR had a word of knowledge RR, that’s me, that’s not Rolls Royce. That’s my initials. Well, you said RR. That’s right.

Somebody might have thought it was Ronald Reagan. Ricky Roberts.

My wife calls me Ricky. I do. Can you imagine this man being called Ricky? No, I can’t. That’s what I call him. When we got married Lindsay decided she was going to call me

Ricky. She got all the nicknames,Everybody was so formal, it was always Richard, Richard, Richard, and I said, “He’s not a Richard to me, looks like a Ricky to me.” And it would irritate him because he was so used to being called formal Richard. They didn’t call me formal Richard, they just called me Richard.
