LR: Hi. I’m Lindsay Roberts. And I’m on the campus live right now from Oral Roberts University. And I want to tell you, it is a beautiful day here at the Prayer Tower. A couple of days ago it was 46 degrees. It was windy. It was pouring rain, and now we’ve got a beautiful sunny day here on Oral Roberts University campus.
And we want to tell you, this is the day that the Lord has made, and we’re going to go into the Prayer Tower and we’re going to begin to pray for you. So stay tuned because we’re going to be right back.
Overcoming Stress Ad
LR: Okay, we want to make sure you get this book, Overcoming Stress. I’m going to give you a toll-free number. And since I can’t read it up on the screen, I’m going to read it off this piece of paper—866-870-6932, 866—that’s toll-free—870-6932.
I want you to get this book as my gift to you. First of all, I want the privilege of planting seed into your life. And second of all, I believe this book can help you.
And I remember so vividly one day I was working on this, and how I felt overwhelmed and how I felt like, “Okay, this is crazy! I’m stressed out over a stress book.” And I realized, you know what? Sometimes we can get stressed out over the silliest things. But left unchecked, those silly things can get bigger and bigger and bigger.
I remember having a sermon one time where I took a little tiny piece of Saran wrap, just plastic wrap, and left by itself, it’s basically harmless. But if you let that Sarah wrap wrap you up round and round and round and round, pretty soon you’re completely bound up and wrapped up in something that may have been very harmless at first. But the more you give in to it and the more it wraps itself around you, the less able you are to move around and hear the Word of God and act on the Word of God.
And I realized that stress is a real live thing that is overwhelming people today. So this says, “Are you pressured, stressed, frustrated? Take charge of the negative situations.” Don’t let them take charge of you. You take charge of the negative situations that attack you. Overcome them with the Word of God.” It’s my gift to you. I want to give it to you. All you have to do is go to the website at makeyourdaycount.com, or 866-870-6932.
You know, we’ve been talking about doing this program live, and we’re live right now. It’s a little after two o’clock Tulsa time. That’s Central Time. And it’s Wednesday afternoon. And we’ve been getting prayers from the Abundant Life Prayer Group, prayer requests, as well as praise reports.
And this one called in, and the precious lady called in right when we went off the air on our program yesterday. And she said she called the Abundant Life Prayer Group for her daughter’s pregnancy, and she was having complications. Immediately after prayer, they called us right back and said the granddaughter delivered a healthy baby boy named Nathan. Praise the Lord for that.
Debbie called the Abundant Life Prayer Group for loneliness and depression. And she said her daughter had told them that she was always praying for other people, but God had never dealt with the depression in her life because she had never given it to God.
So she called for prayer, and they all began to ask and believe God for His intervention. After prayer, she called back to say God gave her her joy. The depression was gone. The loneliness is gone, and she said, “I just want you all to know I am praising the Lord.” Well, we are praising the Lord with you.
This lady called in and said her son-in-law Lee was diagnosed with cancer in his neck and called the Abundant Life Prayer Group for prayer. After prayer, he had surgery, went through treatment. And the doctors came back and said, “We want to stop the treatment. There is absolutely no need for the treatment. You are cancer-free.” Praise the Lord for that!
We’ve had lots and lots of different praise reports. But right now I want to stop, and I want to do two things. We talked yesterday, if you remember, about Malachi 3, where it said, “Bring all the tithe and offering into the storehouse.” Bring the tithe and offering in the place you’re being fed.
And then it said, “Prove me now,” God said, “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 all, and I will rebuke the devourer for your sake.”
