MAN: Hallelujah!  For three months you have been seeing the picture of Richard Roberts all over the streets, on the television.  We have been seeing the program and hearing the story.  But tonight, now, he’s here among us.  And now you have seen all the miracles that we were telling you about, all the miracles that we were sharing that would happen.  It’s the story again.  You’re seeing with your eyes.  I see with my eyes.  Hallelujah!

What God did here yesterday, He will do today because Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  Jesus wants to heal you tonight.  We were hearing stories before, and now we have experienced it.  Shout hallelujah!

Tonight we are going to stand on our feet.  I want us to welcome the man that God has brought to Niger for this time to open the door for miracles and healing from now forth, like never before we have ever seen it.  Let us begin to welcome the healing evangelist, Reverend Richard Roberts.  (Applause)

RR: Hallelujah!  I love Niger.  I love Niger.  I love Niger.  And I love you.  And tonight I am becoming an honorary Nigerian.  (Applause)  Hallelujah!  Lift your hands unto God.

Heavenly Father, I thank You that when I pray, You always hear my prayer.  And I thank You for what You are accomplishing this week in Niger.  Thank You that the Word of God has been taught and preached with boldness, without fear and without shame.

Thank You that You have confirmed Your Word and that miracles, signs, and wonders have followed.  Thank You for the cripples that have walked, many, many of them.  Thank You for the many blind that have had their eyes healed.  Thank You for those who have been deaf and have been healed, for those who could not speak but are now talking.

Thank You that cancers have fallen off of people’s bodies.  Thank You for healing all manner of sickness and disease.  And what You did on Wednesday and what You did on Thursday, You’ll do on Friday because You are the same yesterday, today, and forever.

“This garment has held me down.  This garment has kept me down.  It’s been like a weight on my head.  It’s told me that I cannot succeed and that I’m a failure.  But Jesus told me I could come to Him, and I am not going to Him with this beggar’s garment.”

And the Bible says he took his garment off.  And he looked at it, and he cast it off.

And Jesus asked him a question, “What do you want me to do for you?  What do you want me to do for you?  What do you want me to do for you?”

And that is the question that God is asking you tonight, what do you want Him to do for you tonight?  Do you want to be free from blindness tonight?  Do you want Him to heal your crippled legs?  Do you want Him to heal your broken heart?  Do you want Him to heal your body?  Do you want Him to forgive you and cleanse you from all sin?  What do you want Jesus to do for you tonight?

Bartimaeus said, “Lord, that I might see.  I want to see.  I’ve been blind, but I’ve heard about Your miracles.  I’ve heard of Your mighty works.  I know that You can heal sickness and disease.  So, Lord, I want to see.  I want to see with my eyes, but I also want to see with the eyes of my spirit.  I want to be healed.”

And Jesus looked at him, and He did just what I did last night.  He spoke the word.  He said to him, “Bartimaeus, your faith, your belief in Me, has brought your healing.”  He spoke the word.

That’s what I did last night.  I spoke to crippled legs, and I said, “Your faith has made you whole.”  And many cripples walked last night.  And many are going to walk tonight.  (Response)

I spoke to blind eyes last night, and God healed blind eyes last night.  And God is going to heal blind eyes tonight.  (Response)

I speak to tumors, and I speak to a blockage.  In the name of Jesus, every tumor fall off.  Every tumor fall off.  Every tumor fall off.  Every tumor fall off.  Every tumor fall off.

I take hold of it with my spirit, with my faith.  I take hold-ha ha, there it comes, there it comes.  It’s coming out.  There’s a tumor, there’s a tumor disappearing now.  I take hold of that thing with my faith.  I pull it out of you in the name of Jesus.

There are two huge angels standing over here to my left right now.  And I hear the Lord saying, “Hand the sickness and disease to those angels.  They know where to take it.”

And when you see me take hold of sickness and pull it out, you’ll see me hand it to those angels, because they’re standing by that light post over there.  In the authority of Jesus’ name, put your hand right here.  Put your hand here.  Get a hold of sickness and pull it out in the authority of Jesus’ name.  And hand it to those angels.

Now lift your hands and begin to praise Him.  Begin to sing and shout and praise unto the Lord.  Hallelujah!  (Tongues)  I speak to hearts.  Hearts, beat normally.  Every artery, be opened, in Jesus’ name.

I speak to high blood pressure.  High blood pressure, come down, in Jesus’ name.  Low blood pressure, come up, in Jesus’ name.

I speak to diabetes.  High blood sugar, come down, in Jesus’ name.  Low blood sugar, come up, in Jesus’ name.

Every sickness, every disease, every pain, every nervous condition, every bone, every muscle, every part of your being, in the name of Jesus, I speak life, I speak healing, I speak God’s deliverance.

Now stretch your hand out toward me like this.  Stretch your hand out like this, everybody.  The Bible says that God works through the hands of His disciples.  I’m one of His disciples tonight.  And I’m going to pray this closing prayer before I have testimonies.  And you watch what happens.

The scripture says, “He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction.”  So right now with my hands stretched out toward your hands, in Jesus’ name, I send His word to you.  I send His healing word to you from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet.

Now lift your hands unto the Lord tonight.  Begin to thank Him.  Begin to praise Him.  Begin to give Him honor and glory in this place.  Now examine yourself.  Someone’s being healed.  Examine yourself.  Someone’s being healed right now.  If you can tell there’s a difference, if you can tell there’s been a miracle, if you can tell the pain is gone, if your leg is healed, if your foot is healed, if your back is healed, if your eyes are being healed, if your hearing is being restored, if the pain is gone, just begin to come.

While I was away, something bad happened to me.  I became sick.  And the doctors put me in the hospital.  I had never been in the hospital.  I had never been sick.  And I lay there in that hospital, with the doctors and nurses examining me.  And they said to me that I must have surgery.  And I began to call on the God I had been running from.

It’s amazing who you call on when you get in trouble.  I needed a healing, and so I called on the one I knew who could heal.  And I said something very dangerous.  I said, “God, if You’ll heal me, I’ll serve You.”  And I began to pray.  That night in that hospital room, the power of God came into my body.  I was healed, and I knew it.  (Applause)

The next morning the doctors examined me again, and they canceled my surgery.  They released me from the hospital.  And I went back to school.  I was in another state.

One afternoon I was in my dormitory room taking a nap, and I was awakened by a voice.  The voice said, “You’re in the wrong place.”

I sat up on my bed, and I looked around the room, and there was no one there.  A second time I heard the same voice, “You’re in the wrong place.”  There was no one in my room.  I was by myself.

A third time I heard that voice that I know so well tonight.  The voice of the Lord said to me, “You’re in the wrong place.”

And I said, “Lord, where is the right place?”

And the Lord spoke to me and said, “Your destiny is not in this university; your destiny is in the university that your father founded.”  I did not want to go back to Oral Roberts University.  I knew what would happen.  I knew that I would get saved, and I knew that God would call me to preach.  And I wanted to be a nightclub entertainer.  But He had healed me, and He had set me free.

I speak to blood pressure.  High blood pressure, in the name of Jesus, come down.  Low blood pressure, in the name of Jesus, come up.  Be healed.

I speak to crippling diseases.  You that are crippled in your feet and legs, like Peter and John that day, such as I have give I thee.  In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up, and walk.  Be healed.  Strength come into your feet.  Strength come into your legs.  Strength come into your knees.  Strength come into your hips.  Strength come into your backs.  Strength come into your arms.  Strength come into your shoulders.  Strength come into your neck.  Be healed in the authority of Jesus’ name.

Now begin to lift your hands and give Him praise.  Begin to thank Him.  There’s healing happening all over this place.  Wave your hands unto the Lord and said, “Thank You, Jesus.”  Say, “Thank You, Lord Jesus.”  Praise Him now.  The Bible says that He inhabits the praises of His people.  He lives in our praises.

And when we praise Him, those walls begin to come down.  That’s when healings begin to happen, when we praise Him, when we open our hearts and our mouths and we sing praise unto the Lord.  I give glory and honor unto the King of kings and to the Lord of lords.  There’s healing happening all over Liberty Stadium tonight.  I give You praise.  I give You glory.

If you’ve been healed tonight, you can tell there’s a healing, I want you to come to my right and left and line up.  If your back is healed, rush to the platform.  Come to the left or come to the right.  If your legs are healed, come to the platform.  Ushers, direct them where to go.

DR. C: Richard, she has been having trouble sleeping.  Since the crusade started, she has been sleeping without any problems.

RR: God has healed you?

MAN: She said she slept two days ago . . .
RR: Good sleep.  Amen.

MAN: President Roberts, this lady dislocated her right shoulder one year ago, couldn’t move it until tonight.

MAN: She fell on her bed.
RR: Was the shoulder dislocated?

MAN: Shoulder was dislocated.

RR: Shoulder was dislocated, could not move it?  Move it down.  Now put it up.  Now put it down.  Now put it up.  Now put it over your head.  Put it over your head.  Hallelujah!

MAN: Dr. Roberts, three days he was struck with an extreme headache and trouble breathing, so much so that he couldn’t sleep that night.  Tonight when you told him to bend down, the power of God touched him.  He’s completely healed.

RR: Is the pain gone?

MAN: It’s gone . . .  But now when you asked us to bend . . . I fell across the bed and all I did is, I bend . . .

MAN: Richard, this lady’s had trouble walking, bending her knees, for six years.  Tonight she can do it without trouble.

RR: Six years.  Bend it now, bend it now.  Is it okay?  It’s okay?  Hallelujah!  And the pain is gone from every place she touched?  Hallelujah!

MAN: Richard, this little person right here, this young child here, for the past year has had convulsions.  Tonight when you were praying, he coughed and spit up a worm.  She came up here wanted to give a testimony.  I asked her to go back and to bring it up.  And she did.  It is right here.  (Applause)
RR: Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!  Everyone standing, please.  I want to pray for you.  There are those here who have never made a commitment of your life to the Lord Jesus Christ.  I will not leave Ibadan without giving you an opportunity to make a commitment to Christ.

He wants you to interact.  And in this age of acting, with the Internet, He wants us to interact.  He said, “If you’ll do something, then I’ll do something.”  That’s interaction.

He said, “If my people will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven.  If you’ll sow your offering, then I’ll multiply it back to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.  If you’ll do this, then I.”  Lindsay calls Jim an if-then God.  “If you will do this, then I will do this.”  He isn’t going to do it all.

People say, “Well, I’m expecting God to do it all.”  No, no, no.  God’s not going to do it all.  He’s going to do it through you.  And if you won’t do it, He’ll find somebody else who will.  And you’ll be left in the dust, saying, “Why in the world didn’t I get involved?”

Why are you so stirred up, Richard?  I’m stirred up because I’m mad at satan stealing the ministry that people have.  You say, “Well, now wait a minute, wait a minute, Richard.  I’m not in the ministry.”  Well, you ought to be.  You’re supposed to be.  You’re called to be.  You say, “Wait a minute now, I’m in business.”  Who’s talking about your occupation?  I’m talking about your life.

He said, “You shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”  I don’t care if you work at a bank, or you’re raising children—by the way, you need a real anointing for that.  I don’t care if you’re in the cleaning business, or you’re in the shoe repair business, or if you’re in the stock market business.  It doesn’t matter.  You are called to the healing, saving, delivering ministry of Jesus.

But somehow we Christians get the idea that we’re not worthy of receiving anything, and we owe it to God anyway.  So, therefore, when we give, we’re going to be diminished.  Well, you know, if you have $100 and you give $10 of it to God, you only have $90 left—in the natural.  But with God, $90 will go father than without God.  It is an eternal principle.

So we’re talking about a divine moment in a time of trouble that seemingly in the natural looks like it’s coming to the United States.

I was talking with a man earlier today.  He said, “I didn’t think I could afford to give to God, and then I found out I can’t afford not to give to God.”

And I was praying, and I’m going to pray again in a minute, but I was praying this afternoon as I was flying up here from Orlando.  And the Lord said, “Tonight is a divine moment in people’s lives.”  And He said, “It’s going to be a divine $100,000 night at Cornerstone.”

I said, “What do you mean, Lord?”  He said, “Here’s what I want you to do,” and He gave me this message.  He said, “You talk about Isaac and how he planted in famine,” which is our word for saying recession.  He planted, and he reaped a hundredfold in the same year.

He said, “You call tonight a Cornerstone $100,000 divine moment night.”  And I said, “Well, Lord, how do You want me to go about it?”  He said, “Richard, tell the people I’m going to speak to ten people to make a gift of $5,000.”  And He said, “Your ministry is to be number one of the ten.”  I said, “Okay.”

He said, “Tell them that I’m going to speak to thirty people to make a gift of $1,000.”  I said, “Okay.”  He said, “Tell them that I’m going to speak to 200 people to make a gift of $100.”

Well, I got out a pad and pencil and I started doing the math.  It’s amazing, God can add.  I quickly figured out—and I wasn’t ever too good in math, but I could do a little arithmetic and multiplication—I realized that $5,000 times ten people is $50,000.  And I realized that thirty people at $1,000 is $30,000.  That would be $80,000.  And 200 people at $100 would be $20, and that adds up to $100,000.

Well, Jesus marveled.  The Bible says He marveled.  And I think one of the reasons why He marveled was because this man was not a member of His church.  He was not hamstrung by his faith.  He just believed.  And Jesus said he was a man of great faith, and of course He healed his military aide and sent the word.

And that’s the most beautiful thing about Christian television.  Here we are, I’m in Pittsburgh live tonight.  But you could be watching me all over the place, you know, live, via satellite.

And thank God that the authority that God gives, that He flows through men who speak a word on television and that word is received right where you are through the satellite, and you can receive salvation, you can receive healing, you can receive deliverance, you can receive God’s blessing in your life.  And thank God for Christian television like Cornerstone Television that can do that.

So I was thinking about the divine moment there when Jesus said, “This is a man of great faith.”  And only twice in the Bible did He refer to great faith, once to a Roman army captain, who wasn’t a member of His church.  He wasn’t even a Jew.  And the other to a Syrophoenician Lebanese woman, who had come to Him in behalf of her little daughter.  And only twice did He refer to great faith.

Well, I was thinking about that divine moment.  I was thinking about another divine moment when Jesus, the Bible says, was standing over against the treasury.  All the people came and cast in their offerings.  And one little woman came in and cast in a very small offering.

Jesus had made no comment on all the others, but He made a comment about the little woman.  He said, “She’s given more than them all.”  And the disciples naturally misunderstood.  They’re the kings of misunderstanding, as we oftentimes are.

Well, Paul is not here tonight, but we are.  And Paul spoke about the same Jesus that we’re speaking about tonight.  So you let my hands be an extension of the hands of Jesus tonight.  And my hands are becoming warm tonight, Pastor Phil.  Not because of me, but that’s the anointing of the Holy Spirit.  And that anointing is going to break and destroy yokes tonight.

Heavenly Father, as people right now are stretching their hands out toward me—and you may even want to just touch my hands as a point of contact—in the authority—there’s a heart being healed right now—in the authority of the name of Jesus, I send the word to you.  Yes, heart palpitations are being healed right now.  Blood flow in and through the heart is being healed right now.  Arteries are opening up in the authority of Jesus’ name.

You foul cancer, in the authority of the name of Jesus, whose I am and whom I serve, I speak to you.  Every trace of cancer, come out.  Come out of the bone.  Come out.  Come out of the arteries.  Come out of the blood.  Come out of the brain.  Come out of the tissue.  Come out of the cells.

Hodgkin’s disease, lymphoma, leukemia, in the name of—there it comes.  It’s coming out.  Cancer is being burned out of somebody.  I know God’s giving me a word of knowledge right now.  Someone will be calling TBN within the next few days, saying, “I’ve been back to the doctor, and the doctor has confirmed the cancer is healed.”  Somebody give praise to the Lord tonight.  Somebody’s going to give that word from the doctor the cancer is being healed.
