Father God, I believe that you can bring a healing restoration in marriages.  So, Father God, you know, the one thing about a death and a burial is following death and burial is resurrection.  And maybe you feel like your marriage has been dead and buried, but, you know, that’s a good place to have a resurrection.

And in the name of Jesus, I believe for your marriage to be restored, to be resurrected to new abundant life.  Let the old things be passed away and the dead bury the dead, but let God get up and bring healing and restoration.  And don’t bring up the old and don’t bring up the junk and don’t bring up the past, but let God make a new thing for you.

RR: Bury it, Lindsay.

LR: Bury the ghost, bury the old, and bury the past.  The Bible says, “Forgetting the past.”  I mean, it just flat says forget it. Forgetting the past, you press forward.  The only way you can press forward is you turn your back away from the past and move on forward.  And the way you do that is asking Father God to supernaturally anoint your marriage according to His Spirit, in Jesus’ name.

RR: Marilyn, Robin, is there a word for marriages tonight coming from you?  I sense that there’s something, there’s a word to be given for marriages tonight.  I don’t know exactly what it is.  If you feel led.

MG: I just thank God that He has taught us that forgiveness is something that makes a big difference in marriage.  If you want God to bring new life to your marriage, then it’s so important that you forgive.

RR: It’s hard to do, isn’t it?

MG: quickly, that you forgive quickly and forgive one thing that hinders people from forgiving, which allows healing to take place, is that they wait till they feel like forgiving.  They want to calm down and get over it for a while, you know, but forgiveness is not based on a feeling.  Forgiveness is a command. You do it out of obedience.  And if you’re having a difficult time forgiving, what you do is, you exercise your will.

You say, “As an act of my will, I forgive and I release that thing.”  And then begin to pray for that person and minister love from your heart, from your spirit to them.  And tell the devil that he will not use you against your husband or your husband against you or your wife against you or you against your wife.

LR: “on the sick, and they shall recover.”  Now wait a minute. God said, “They shall lay elbows on the sick and they shall recover, then we’d better start stretching out our elbows.  If He said lay toes on the sick and they shall recover, then, friend, according to the Word of God, in order to be in obedience to the Word of God, we’d better stretch out whatever the Word of God says.  He said that we would do even greater works than Jesus did because He went to the Father.  All right, what did Jesus do?  He laid hands on the sick.

RR: What did the disciples do?  They laid hands.

LR: Laid hands on the sick.

RR:  What are we called to do?  Lay hands.

LR: The Bible says they actually stretched forth their hand to heal, stretched for their hand to heal.

RR: And, Lindsay, it says that they brought them, they brought their sick into the streets.  They brought their sick.  What has been amazing to me is how many people have brought their sick to the television that they might touch my hands and believe God for a miracle.  Now I’ve got no healing power, but Jesus does.

LR: But do you know why it works?

RR: And there’s a transfer of healing power from the Spirit of God through my hands into your life.

LR: Do you know why?  The “o” word.  You’re obedient.  God said that we were to be like Him.  He said we were to do what Jesus did. He said we were to be do you know what a Christian means?  It means to be a little Christ.  It means we’re to be Christ-like. We’re to do it the way Christ did it.  He said when we do it the way He did it; we’ll do greater works than He did.  You mean you’re better than God?  No, I didn’t say that.

RR: No, He said it.

LR: I said I am obedient to what the word of God says, and He gave us a perfect formula that will work, if we work with the formula.

RR: Hallelujah!

LR: He said they stretched forth their hand to heal.  And if we’ll do it according to the formula you know, you kept saying, “Lindsay, what is the deal?  Every time I stretch out my hand, such anointing comes?”

RR: And my hands get so hot.

LR: It’s simply that’s the way God wrote it in the Book.  If He said stretch forth your ear, then, friend, you’d better learn to stretch out your ear.  Because if that’s what He said to do, He made it work.  God said He watches over His Word to perform it. Whatever He says in His Word, He will perform it.  He will honor it.  He’ll watch over it to perform it.

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.

And if you look at a Daniel fast, it’s fruits and vegetables and nuts and seeds, and there’s a reason why. And I know this may sound really ridiculous to you and it may sound like Lindsay is off the wall fanatic, but the Lord spoke to me one time and He said, “Will you please learn how to eat?” And I had energy all of my life. I mean, I could eat the table and still be thin. And yet I realized, “Well, God, this is so strange because I have no side effects of eating.”

And the Lord said, “You are doing your temple wrong.  I told you how to eat.”  And I thought, “Where?”  For some reason, I’d missed the fact that it was in the Bible.  And I want to encourage you to get the Bible and see what it says about herbs, see what it says about fruits, see what it says about vegetables, see what it says.  You know, in the Bible the word “chicory” means “the liver’s friend.”  Now if God cared so much to make a liver, then He cared enough to make something that would sustain it.

If you are experiencing any form of eating disorder, I believe it’s an attack of satan and I believe there’s a Bible way for you to use common sense.  Go study the Bible.  Go study healing nutrients in the Bible, and find out what God says.  I believe if He made our bodies, He made it to operate properly. And there really is a biblical way to do it. And I just want to encourage you, don’t get discouraged. Don’t get all put out and don’t get worried and say, “God, I’ll never be able to do it right.”  Yes, you will, in Jesus’ name. Let me say this to you, don’t panic.  Don’t get into guilt and condemnation.  Right now don’t get into condemnation.  Take that junk and tell satan that’s a trap from him and to take it back to the pits of hell where it came from.  Food is not your source, God is your source.  And God can teach you, if He has to do it supernaturally how to sustain your physical body properly.

RR: And we’ll set our faith in agreement with you if you’ll call the Abundant Life Prayer Group.

RR: This is your hour of healing coming to you from the campus of Oral Roberts University.  Father, I give You praise and glory tonight for Your healing touch.  Thank You, Lord, that Your arm has not been shortened to save, to heal, to deliver, and set people free from the crown of their heads to the soles of their feet.  Thank You, Father, for the anointing of God upon Lindsay, upon me tonight, as we minister in the name of Jesus.  Not in our name, but in His name, whose name is above every name named in heaven and earth.  Lindsay, in Jesus’ name I pray it.  Amen and amen.  This is healing night.  I’m expecting healing in the lives of people tonight.

LR:I agree.

RR: And I have some testimonies to share.  This is from right here in Tulsa from last night.  I gave a word of knowledge last night about an ear being healed, and here is Irene calling from Tulsa. “I was listening to your program.  I got a healing from a word of knowledge, through a word of knowledge that you gave concerning an ear opening, and the ear is healed.  This comes from Alpharetta, Georgia.

LR: Where is that?

RR: Now the call comes from Alpharetta, but this is a person who is in the hospital here in Tulsa with cancer.  They’re at the Cancer Treatment Center here in Tulsa, in the hospital with cancer in the spine and the bone.  Apparently they were watching last night in the hospital.  I gave a word.  I prayed over cancer.  You remember, I gave a word about cancer in the bone last night.  And Cheryl got out of the bed apparently and was able to bend over, the first time she’s been able to bend over since April, and literally touched the floor.

And, Cheryl, in the authority of Jesus’ name, I set my faith in agreement.  I’m believing that that’s the start of the miraculous touch of God in your life in the authority of Jesus’ mighty name, and I set my faith in agreement.  Lindsay  and you may feel like praying for others who have cancer right now.

LR: We’ve had people come over from Cancer Treatment Center

RR: And other hospitals.

LR: yeah, and from other hospitals.  There’s another lady here. We were praying I’ll tell you, we were praying and having such a good time last night, I said, “Let’s have a party.”  So they were going to go back to the hospital and say to their other cancer patient friends, “We’re having a party in healing,” you know.  Did you do that?  Yes.  They’re going yes.  You see, in the name of Jesus, you don’t have to let your circumstances talk to you; you begin to talk to your circumstances.  The cancer should not be talking to you.  You need to talk to the cancer.  And the Bible says in Mark 11:23,24 that we speak to our mountain, and then in quotes they told us what to say.  Jesus said, “Speak to your mountain and command it to be cast into the sea, and do not doubt in your heart, but believe the things that you say shall come to pass.”  So in the name of Jesus, we speak to cancer right now.

RR: Right now.

LR: We command it to be thou removed

RR: Yes.

LR:  and be thou cast into the sea.  We do not doubt in our hearts, but we believe the things that we speak according to God’s Word will come to pass in Jesus’ name.  Cancer, you wither and die.  Healthy cells, you raise up in Jesus’ name.  I speak directly to outlaw cancer cells and I command them to cease and desist.  Stop it.  That’s enough, in Jesus’ name.

RR: Hallelujah.

LR: I rebuke it, and the word rebuke means stop it, that’s enough. Cancer, stop it.  That’s enough.  And in Jesus’ name, I speak to your physical body, and according to the Word of God I tell your physical body to be made whole in Jesus’ name.  Amen.

RR:I agree

LR: Amen.

RR: I agree with that prayer.  What have you got, Steve?

STEVE: Richard, we have John from Orlando, Florida, a praise report of a healing that came in last night.  John is on the phone if you’d like to talk with him.

RR: A Vietnam veteran?

STEVE: A Vietnam veteran.

RR: John, can you hear me?

JOHN: Yes, I can.

RR: Hello, John.  Are you in Orlando?

JOHN: Yes, I am.

RR: Were you watching the program?  What happened?
