Encourage and Believe by Richard Roberts
Richard, please encourage people to believe right up until what seems like is the very end.” Are you at a place in your life where you think, “I’ve come to the very end.” Here is a woman who had an egg sized lump on her breast. And I’m sure the thought’s going through her mind, “The surgeon is going to have to do a radical mastectomy, he’s going to have remove one of my breasts. And I feel like part of my life is going to be destroyed.” And she is saying to you, “Don’t stop believing even up to the very end.” Don’t stop. And I say to you today, in the name of Jesus, even though everything may look like it’s going wrong. Even though you feel like you have come to the very end, don’t give up on God. (APPLAUSE) God hasn’t given up on you. In fact, I want to pray a prayer for you right now. I want to pray a “very end, don’t give up” kind of prayer. And I am expecting that when I do, that people across this nation who are right where I have been describing, you have either given up on some financial situation, or you are about to give up on some sickness or disease, that you just say, “Everything is coming in on me, everything is closing in on me. And I need a miracle. I need what you were singing about a minute ago. I need to be on the edge of a miracle.” You say, “Well, I’m on the edge of a defeat.” Well, let’s take that defeat and turn it around in the name of Jesus. Heavenly Father, I thank you for the privilege of praying. I believe when I pray that you confirm your word with miracles. Now my brother, my sister, young person, you who have sickness or disease in your life, you who feel like you are near the very end, you who are discouraged and depressed, and fear has gripped you and you feel like that you want to take your life. Or maybe you are on drugs, or maybe you are an alcoholic, or maybe there is something wrong in your family. Maybe you are facing a divorce or a failure in your life in some way. I say to you — all is not lost. Just when you think everything is over hope remains. And faith is the substance of things hoped for. There is a person right now who is getting a, yes, yes, let me have it all, Lord. Mmmm huh, yes, okay. There is a person who is watching who has had deafness in your left ear for two years. I’ll do that, Lord. God is healing that left ear right now. There is a person who cannot bend your right leg. God is healing your knee right now. All that pain and swelling in your knee is — yes, yes, I’ll do that, Lord — is leaving.
The person who has been extremely dizzy, you’re been extremely dizzy. Your equilibrium and balance has been affected by something in your ear. And you’ve been very, very dizzy. If you will stand up from where you are sitting right now God is healing the balance problem that you have been having. You’re not going to have anymore dizziness. Yes, yes, I’ll do that, Lord. And you who pulled that muscle right above your wrist, and you can’t even open and close your hand now because there is such intense pain in the muscles above your wrist. God is healing you. You say, “Well, how do you know?” I know because God is confirming his word right now with signs and wonders. Uh huh, you who have had the little growth, mmm huh, on the right side of your chest. It’s not a breast tumor. But it’s a growth on the chest. And it’s been worrying you. That thing is dissolving right now. If you will check yourself, someone is going to find that growth on your skin — mmm huh, yes, in fact, you’ve been thinking it’s a cancerous growth. You’ve been thinking that you have skin cancer. God is healing the little growth on someone’s skin on their chest. How do I know? God is confirming his word with a word of knowledge. I know it’s true. Oh, that’s — a tremendous healing in somebody’s hand. I want you to get up and call the Abundant Life Prayer Group and let PRRR me know who you are.
