Make Your Day Count

LR: Let’s get into feelings.  We’ve got just a second, and I’ve got to ask Christy this.  You have to stand up, open the service.  You have to open the atmosphere, really.  The first thing out of the buck and chute, there you guys are.  Okay, you don’t feel like it.  Maybe you’re not in the mood, okay?  Maybe you’re not ready for a large number of people to be drawing on your anointing when you’re like, “Where is my anointing?”  How do you shut the flesh down and say, “This is not the time for the flesh.  This is the time for the supernatural to kick in”?

CH: Well, you know, I think the thing for me that I always remember is, when we get out and we get on the stage, we’re here for Jesus.  We’re here for the kingdom.  We’re here to worship, so everything else has to take a backseat.

And, you know, she was talking about Peter, you know, and we think about he started looking at the winds and the waves.  And the Bible says in Hebrews 13 that, “We look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, because for the joy that was set before us.”  So when we get our focus onto God, everything else that’s going on around us, I don’t care how emotional, how hard, how rough it is, when we get our eyes on Him, it takes the focus off of the disruption.  It takes the focus off of our emotions.  And, you know, your emotions many times, they’re going to tell you the wrong thing.  They’re going to interrupt what you ought to be focusing on.

And in Psalm 121 it says, “I lift my eyes to the hills where my help comes from.”  And I am telling you, every time we look to the Lord and we draw upon the strength of His power, the strength of His anointing, we realize it’s not about our own strength anyway.  And it really does become a much easier road to walk, even though sometimes we do have to fight it out.

LR: Sometimes we think, How could I be even put in the same term as the word supernatural?  That’s the Holy Spirit residing within you, and it’s there.  We might not recognize it.  We might not know it but, I’m telling you, God put it there and it’s for us, for our good, for our benefit. All we have to do is stir it up.
BK: Well, and I will say this, I’m going to just say just a ditto and follow up with what she just said.  Some of our most challenging times come right before you either have to walk out on that TV set and you’ve got to minister and do—

LR: I tell you, it is.

BK: And you’ve got to go right out, you’ve got to preach, you’ve got to minister to somebody.  And God as my witness, you think, God, I don’t have it in me right now.  This couldn’t have come at a worse time, right before that big crusade or whatever.  And, Lindsay, God as my witness, those have been the times I’ve seen the most miracles. 

We were in one country, a lady was healed of AIDS.  And, I mean, we were exhausted.  And I thought, God, I don’t have it in me.  It’s in you, and it just needs to be released and to flow.  It’s not based on how you feel.  You walk out there, and you minister by the power of God to whoever.  If you’re in the grocery store or wherever you are, you can be on the bus, you can be at the shopping mall, you can be at work, and that supernatural—you don’t have to go by feelings—but you just manifest God.  And you go in there and you be a spokesman for Jesus, and people’s lives are going to get changed.

LR: The book is called The Supernatural You.  I’m going to give you a website, ovm (One Voice Ministry), ovm.org.  This one’s by Brenda.  We’ve got the books by Hank.  Oh, my goodness, the secrets that are revealed in the latest book, The Revealer of Secrets, is literally God’s revelation through prophecy.  I want to encourage you, all you have to do, go on their website, ovm.org.

If you need prayer, 918-495-7777.  You can go on-line at Oral Roberts Ministry website, orm.cc, or like I said, go to the telephone, 918-495-7777.  Or you can write Richard Roberts and Lindsay Roberts, Tulsa, OK 74102.  I encourage you to get their book.  Thank you guys for being here.  Whatever you do today, I want to encourage you to make it count for the kingdom of God.

CH: Well, Pastor Hank and Pastor Brenda provide an incredible atmosphere to minister in anyway.

LR: See, it is a hand and a foot and an eye.  And, you know, your ushers were wonderful.  Now my husband, Richard Roberts, when he’s praying, there’s—I want to call it a healing line.  All I can tell you is, there were masses of people getting healed, and it was like, “Oh, mercy, what’s going on?”  It was like a wave and a rush of healing.

BK: Oh, we had a good time.
LR: But you know what?  It was so controlled.  And the Holy Spirit was moving, and here are the ushers taking their rightful place and rightful seat of authority.

The Bible talks about doing things with decency and order.  And I do believe that there is an order and a decency that when we follow the line upon line of the Bible, something begins to happen supernaturally.  It’s like we open that wellspring and say, “Here’s a place where You can now take over, Holy Spirit.”

BK: And there is a place, Lindsay, for every member of the body of Christ.  You’re probably sitting at home and you’re thinking, What’s my part?  I feel like the pinky toe, is my favorite saying, the pinky toe of the body of Christ.  I’m not even sure I have an important part.  No, you are supernatural.  You have a supernatural anointing to do just as much.  You are a part of the miracles of Jesus.

And so every one of us has that place.  And when we get in our function—don’t try to be somebody else.  You don’t have to.  You’re supernatural by yourself.

LR: The other day I had what could have bee chaos in my house, a disaster.  Mostly it was just me.  And, you know, my husband is out of the country and half my family was gone somewhere else, and Jordan’s in Africa.  Actually, I think Jordan was on her way to Africa.  Richard was on his way to Israel.  I mean, it was one of those days.

So here something comes up, and I texted Brenda.  And Brenda’s response was not something out of Brenda.  She said, “I’ll take some time and pray about it.”  Well, that’s the best kind of prayer you can ever have.

So in the process of that, instead of answering with some fleshly answer, she was giving me, “I’ll pray about it.”

Now that’s wonderful, like the Abundant Life Prayer Group, to have someone in prayer connect.  Okay, now what about the times when God isn’t going to let you prayer connect when He’s requiring you to mature?  And now everybody needs a kick.  Everybody needs a boost, a prayer partner, a power of agreement, I understand it.  But what about not relinquishing what part is our responsibility, where God is requiring us to dig into that well?

BK: I will honestly say, the first person I think of, hands down, is Peter.  Peter was the one who always forged out with God and then, you know, he ended up kind of in a heap sometimes.  And so he’s a great example for all of us.  But you remember in Matthew 14, he got out of the boat, and he was going to walk on water.  He was going to forge out in his moment of faith.  And, interesting, the Bible kind of gives a little bit of a progression there, but it says, Peter, he got out of the boat to walk on the water.  He went to walk to Jesus, and so that was the process of faith.  That was God taking you into your destiny.

But in the process, the Bible said, “The wind became boisterous.”  And you remember this.  And he said the wind started to blow.  That was the disruption.  That was the divine disruption.  Peter’s responsibility was to keep walking, but he started to look at the disruption instead of the Lord and he lost out on the miracle that God wanted to produce.

And Jesus, you know—I love Jesus.  You know, He didn’t turn and He didn’t say, “Oh, my sweet child.  I understand where you’re coming from.”  That’s what we want to hear God say.  “O God, do you see what I’m in?” 

He turns and says, “Why in the world did you doubt, oh you of little faith,” you know.

LR: While he’s down there drowning.
BK: Give the man some credit.  He tried.  But the truth of it is, that God wants you to forge forth in the destiny, even while there are distruptions, because there’s always a miracle that you are able to produce when you follow the direction of God.  Even when the wind’s blowing, stay on that path.

RR: In the authority of Jesus’ name, I pray the prayer of faith.  Now listen to me.  Let me give you the Bible tonight.  The Bible says, “The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise them up.”

AT: He talked about the healing, you know, God’s healing, you know,

He’s the only person that you can go to.  So that gave me like more strength, you know, when I heard him talking. 

BRAD Abner also called in and had a prayer cloth sent to him.

AT: I use to put the prayer cloth that they send me, and I put it on my back and my legs.

BRAD: He watched Richard and Lindsay for several nights from his hospital bed, when he decided to call the Abundant Life Prayer Group.

AT: When I called them, I started feeling a little warm on me and I started moving my toes, then moving my legs.  So I said, “Thank God, you know, I’m getting healed,” you know.  And then I started thanking God and praising the Lord, you know.  And I know that God was healing me, you know, because I started moving my legs.

BRAD: The next day, Abner couldn’t wait to show his doctor how he could move his legs and feet.

AT: The doctor came again, and asked me, you know, how I feel.  But I told him, you know, that I was starting to move a little bit, you know.  And he said to me, “You will never walk again.  I’m sorry to tell you.”

BRAD: Abner though refused to be discouraged, and little by little he kept getting more feeling and movement in his legs.  A month later he could walk with a walker.  Six months after that, he started walking all by himself.  And today Abner says his legs and back are healed by God.

AT: It’s a miracle!  It’s a miracle.  It’s a miracle!  I couldn’t even stand up.  I thank God for this ministry.  That program gave me courage and hope.  That was the only hope I had because I had nobody else to turn to.  The doctor could not do nothing for me.  The doctor gave me no alternative.  The doctor gave me no alternative whatsoever.

The only source that I would have is the man upstairs, the healing for man, Jesus.  When man says no, God says yes.

(END OF ROLL-IN)

LR: You know, it’s just like what happened to Abner, I’m believing according to the Word of God that that same thing can begin to happen to you.

So right now, Father, in the name of Jesus, we just lift up every name, every need, every person that is asking for Your intervention right now, Father God.  And we are calling for a miracle.

Father, in the name of Jesus, according to Your Word in Psalm 107:20 that says, “You sent your word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction,” and the scripture that says, “By the stripes that wounded Jesus, we’re healed and made completely whole.”

We apply the blood of Jesus to whatever situation that you’re facing right now, and we pray for God to intervene right now in your behalf, in the name of Jesus.  We expect a miracle, in Jesus’ name. 

RR: In the authority of Jesus’ name, I pray the prayer of faith.  Now listen to me.  Let me give you the Bible tonight.  The Bible says, “The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise them up.”

AT: He talked about the healing, you know, God’s healing, you know,

He’s the only person that you can go to.  So that gave me like more strength, you know, when I heard him talking.

(END OF ROLL-IN)

LR: You know, it’s just like what happened to Abner, I’m believing according to the Word of God that that same thing can begin to happen to you.

 So right now, Father, in the name of Jesus, we just lift up every name, every need, every person that is asking for Your intervention right now, Father God.  And we are calling for a miracle.

 Father, in the name of Jesus, according to Your Word in Psalm 107:20 that says, “You sent your word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction,” and the scripture that says, “By the stripes that wounded Jesus, we’re healed and made completely whole.”

We apply the blood of Jesus to whatever situation that you’re facing right now, and we pray for God to intervene right now in your behalf, in the name of Jesus.  We expect a miracle, in Jesus’ name.

LR:  Your tithe and your offering is completely connected to God rebuking the devourer for your sake.  Why is that?  I don’t know.  That’s what God wrote.  He said when you bring the tithe in, He would open you the windows of heaven, pour you out a blessing where there’s not room enough to receive it, and rebuke the devourer for your sake.  That’s the way God set it up.

So I want to show you what people have been doing as a result of that.  They’ve been specifically naming their seed for a specific harvest, just as Malachi was saying. 

In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this precious woman called in and sowed $200 to believe God for her healing.  Now is she trying to buy a miracle?  Well, I don’t think they’re for sale.  And if they are, I’m not sure what you’d charge—like what’s a cold cost?  What’s cancer cost?  That’s not how God set it up.  He said, “When you bring your tithe as offering and seed unto God, he would open the windows of heaven, pour out a blessing where there’s not room enough to receive it, and rebuke the devourer for our sake.”  And that’s what this precious woman is doing.  (Reading names)

In Ohio, $25 seed for financial miracles.  You know, that seems so, to the world’s system, to the natural system, seems so silly.  When you need finances, why would you give what finances you have?  Because God said very clearly in Luke 6:38, when you give it would be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.  And I believe the Bible.  I believe the Word of God.

So if you want to plant a seed, if you’d like information about that, call the Abundant Life Prayer Group, 918-495-7777.  Or you can write Richard Roberts and Lindsay Roberts, Tulsa, OK 74102. In fact, if we go to a Living Proof right now, while we’re doing that, I want to go into the Abundant Life Prayer Group, where we’re going to stand with those prayer partners and begin to pray for you.  So stay tuned because we’re going to be right back.

LP:  Abner Torres, Orlando, FL

BRAD: With some 50 million tourists each year, Orlando is one of the world’s top vacation spots.  In fact, only Las Vegas tops Orlando when it comes to US cities with the most hotel rooms.  That’s where Abner Torres comes in.  He owns an employment agency here in Orlando where he finds jobs for people mostly in the hotel and service industry.

AT: I’m sending you a qualified person just right now, one that you need right now.

BRAD: Not long ago though, Abner’s livelihood and life came to a screeching halt after he had a bad fall in his home.

AT: And when I fell down on the floor, suddenly I could not move.  From the lower part down, I couldn’t move anything.  It was a very bad fall because I wasn’t able to move nothing, nothing.  I couldn’t even move not even my feet or my toes, nothing.

The ambulance came and took me to Florida Hospital.  And there they did some testing.

BRAD: The doctor told Abner that he twisted his back, injuring the nerves in his lower spine.  He then told Abner he would never walk again.

AT: I kind of didn’t believe that, but then I asked another opinion from another doctor.  And the other doctor said the same thing, I would never walk again.

BRAD: Doctors at the hospital told Abner an operation was his only chance to restore any feeling or movement to his legs and feet.  But Abner said doctors gave him no guarantees.

AT: The doctor said I had to go for an operation.  And the doctor said, “We’ll give you a 30 percent of recovering, just 30 percent after the operation.”  They wanted to break my spine again and be able to put things together again.  But he would not give me a promise on that.  He said, “You might have a 30 percent chance.”

BRAD: Abner didn’t like the odds he was given.  But without the operation, he knew he’d need a miracle if he was to ever walk again.

So one night from his hospital bed, he was flipping through the channels and came across The Hour of Healing.

AT:
Every night what I would do, I would put the TV on on Oral Roberts.

LR:
You know, just like Lori in Orlando and Lindsay in Tulsa, Oklahoma and one of my daughters at 15 in Tulsa, Oklahoma—I had a 15-year-old daughter, she’s now 18, that was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. And they were about to do surgery. My daughter went to a prayer service and was miraculously healed.

I had a tumor the size of a grapefruit on my only functioning ovary, and I was in surgery for a hysterectomy, and God healed me. It was supernaturally miraculously healed. I had cancer specialists there, had all these kind of doctors there, B-scan, ultrasound, all that stuff. And I found God that day to be a miracle-working God. I’ve always known Him to be a miracle-working God.

And I don’t know what you’re going through. Maybe it is cancer. Maybe it is tumors. Maybe it is cysts. Maybe it’s something that you might not even know the name of. Maybe it’s depression. I’m telling you, I can’t even begin to tell you how many testimonies we get and praise reports, as well as prayer requests, about depression.

Whatever it is, my Bible says 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, right now I speak to you, precious one, and I pray in the name of Jesus. I pray, first of all, for fear to be gone and for the faith of God to rise up and begin to minister healing to you right now, from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet, in everything you do right now. Begin to praise Him and praise Him and praise Him. I read a book about the praise cure, beginning to believe God. As you praise Him, He inhabits the praises of His people. And expect a miracle right now.

Sickness and disease, I speak directly to you, fear, torment, doubt, worry, anything that has come against your life that is unlike God. The Bible says, I read just in Malachi, anything that comes as a devourer, in the name of Jesus, I pray for God to rebuke the devourer for your sake, in the name of Jesus, for you to raise up, to be raised up to healing and wholeness. In Je-sus’ name, amen.

And I want to encourage you, if you need prayer, pick up your phone. Call the Abundant Life Prayer Group, 918-495-7777. And I believe as you do that, I believe as you begin to speak it out, begin to say what you have need of and sow a seed—this whole stack right here, this en-tire stack is people sowing seed against their need, believing what the prophet Malachi said, that as you bring tithe and offering into the storehouse, God himself would open you the windows of heaven, pour you out a blessing where there’s not room enough to receive it and rebuke the de-vourer for your sake.

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.

And as you do that, when you give the prayer partners your prayer request, ask them to pray specifically. If you’re sowing a seed, don’t just sow a seed, although that’s a wonderful thing to do. Don’t just sow the seed. Make sure you give your prayer request to the prayer part-ners so we can specifically say that this seed is aimed at this need, in Jesus’ name.

Now you stay tuned because we’re going to be right back.

LR:
And you know what? I can’t even begin to thank you enough for becoming a partner of this ministry. And if you’d like to be a partner, again, call the Abundant Life Prayer Group, 918-495-7777. You know, the word partner means joint partaker. It means you join together in a partnership.

Let us be partners with you, believing God for your miracle. And the Bible says when you sow in to a prophet, you reap the prophet’s reward. As you begin to sow into a prayer minis-try, we pray in Jesus’ name that you reap the rewards of those prayers.

And as you sow your seed, every person that gets saved or healed or even fed in some of the feeding programs that we’ve done in Africa, every person that has some sort of a benefit from this ministry as a result of your seed, God will take that seed and multiply it back to you in the way you need it the most. That’s Luke 6:38. That’s Galatians. That’s Philippians 4. That’s Malachi 3.

I don’t think there’s anything, next to my salvation, that I found to be more important to the heart of God than obeying His commandments. And one of those is that we bring tithe and offering into His storehouse. That’s the book of Malachi, and it goes all the way through the New Testament.

So I want to encourage you, sow your seed unto God. Don’t throw your seed, sow it. Aim it for a desired result and say specifically what you’re believing God for that miracle for, 918-495-7777. When you sow your seed or give your prayer request, they’re going to bring that to me and we’re going to pray over it.

Now, also, don’t forget that we’re live eight o’clock tonight in the Prayer Tower again for The Hour of Healing. That’s eight o’clock Tulsa time, live tonight.

And in the name of Jesus, we not only pray over all of these prayer requests and all of the names and the seeds that have come in right now. That’s just right now. In the name of Jesus, we pray for these to be multiplied back in the form of a harvest they need the most. And we pray for you right now.

Whatever it is that you’re facing, whatever it is you’re going through, I remind you ac-cording to God’s Word that the name of Jesus is a name that’s above every name named in hea-ven and earth and at that name everything else that’s been thrown from satan has to bow.

And in Jesus’ name, we pray for God to touch you from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet and make you every bit whole, for the devourer to be rebuked and for you to be a delightsome land, and all people call you blessed, in Jesus’ name. I encourage you to be blessed, in the name of Jesus.
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.

Now one more thing, please don’t forget, you can have my stress book. It’s my free gift to you. All you have to do is call a free number, 866-870-6932. Please order the stress book be-cause I want to give you a gift. Whatever you do today, make it count for the kingdom of God.
