RR: Well, give a great welcome to my dad and my mother, Oral and Evelyn Roberts. Now you’ve got to see. You’ve got to see what the crowd is doing. The crowds a lot of our students are here tonight. They’re holding this is a symbol the students. This is the big O for Oral.
LR: The big O.
RR: For Oral. Welcome, Dad and Mother, to our program for the first time, live. Now that was 1958, almost forty years ago, and yet the anointing of God that was on you then is just as strong on you right now. And my heritage is in the healing ministry. One of the reasons I love to share testimonies like this is to let people see that what God did, He’s still doing. And I’m just so delighted that you all are here tonight.
OR: Well, Richard, you used to sit on the front seat with our other family members and watch the healing line, and you were praying in your heart, “God, let me do that someday.”
RR: Yes.
OR: And He’s letting you do it. Someday is now.
RR: Sometimes you would take me by the hand as you laid hands on people and have me stand right next to you, and I would watch. And every once in a while you would say, “Now, Richard, you lay your hands on them.”
OR: Yes.
RR: I was no more than five or six years old. But I was being prepared even then by God for the healing ministry. And what’s happening here is no different than what happened in those days. It’s not any different, Mother.
ER: No, it’s no different, but let me tell you something, Richard. We’ve been … Your dad and I have been sitting at home watching all these programs. And let me tell you that people at home can feel the power of God just the same as we can right here tonight. There’s no difference. We sit. Isn’t that true, Oral?
OR: It is.
ER: We sit in front of our TV, and the power of God comes out
OR: We jump up out of our chairs.
ER: of that. We praise God, we sit there and shout, we cry, we rejoice. And we say, “Something is happening, something is happening.”
OR: Something GOOD is happening.
ER: Praise God.
RR: Two years ago, two years ago you began to talk to Lindsay and me about a live healing television program. And you’ve always been a man ahead of your time. Always. And you gave that word to me, and I wasn’t quite prepared. But about six months ago it came into our hearts that it was God’s timing. And this is a result of that. And I want to declare to you. This is now coming up. Well, we’re in the middle of the ninth week of doing this program. We’ve already had more than five hundred reported healings.
ER: Praise God, praise God.
RR: Healings every night. And it’s not us, we know that. It’s the power of God.
