Gifts of Healings of Richard Roberts

And your dad shared something with me. He said, “Terry, the Bible teaches about the gifts of healings. Gifts is plural and healings is plural.” (Yes, it is) And he said, “There are many different delivery systems that God brings healing,” and that’s why we’ve got this beautiful City of Faith here. This is bringing healing to the sick. Your ministry is bringing healing to the sick. My ministry is bringing healing to the sick, all different delivery systems. And that’s why I’m so tied in with the program here. I’m so excited about the university and what God’s doing in the hospital.

We’re saying something to the nation. We’re letting the nation know that God is a healing God. He’s reaching out. He’s touching you. He’s ministering to you right now where you are. And there’s a healing power. Right now this program is dedicated to healing. This young man, the anointing and ministry of God, the touch of God on his life, is dedicated to reach out and touch you. And God’s doing it today. Praise God for that.

You know, Terry, I am reminded. I said it’s not in the Bible, but as you talk I’m reminded of the Scripture where it says, “He sent his word and healed them.” (Amen) Now that’s what we’re doing today on this program. We’re sending forth God’s Word. We’re not bringing you our words. We’re bringing you the Word of God. (Amen, praise the Lord) And the Bible says that the Word of God will not come back void. God watches over His Word to perform it.

And God’s Word, the Bible says in Hebrews 4:12, is alive and full of power. It’s active. It’s active in your life. You say, well I don’t feel His power. Well, friend, just stay tuned. In a moment we’re going to pray. And when we pray, I’m expecting something to begin in your life. I really am. (Amen) Terry, you said that you are tied into this ministry, and I believe you are. You and I have known each other since we attended Oral Roberts University. You’ve been around the world many times preaching the gospel.

And I wish you’d share an experience that has just happened. You’ve taken teams, evangelistic teams throughout the world, especially behind the Iron Curtain. You probably have had more success for Jesus behind the Iron Curtain than anyone I know. And something happened this week. One of your team members, a Soviet citizen, was killed in a plane crash in Russia.

There’s been very little, virtually nothing said about it in the news. But you received word, some special word, and I wish you’d share about that and let the people know and call us to pray for it.
