Recieving Christ by Richard Roberts

SPRR RICHARD ROBERTS Well, what you’re saying to me, Johnny, is a message to this nation and the world.  It’s a message to you, my friend, that you are special to God.  There is nobody, no one, that is like you.  You are unique, you are irreplaceable. Without you the world wouldn’t be the same. God has a need for you.  You have a need for God. You and God, you need each other. You say, “Well, I’ve heard you talk about him but how can I know him?”  I’m so glad you asked.  It’s so easy for you to get to know Jesus.  Everybody here in our studio audience, join hands together and let me pray for you for you are just a prayer away from receiving Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.  You are just a prayer away from the Man, Jesus Christ, that Johnny Johnson has been talking about from entering into your heart and into your life and for you to be transformed from your hair to your toenails.   Father, I thank you that as I pray this prayer I believe you hear my prayer.  Now, my friend, I pray for you right now.

I’m going to ask everybody here in our studio and I’m going to ask you at home to pray this prayer out loud after me if you really want to meet this Man, Jesus Christ, that Johnny has been talking about.  You pray this prayer out loud after me as everybody does.  O Lord, be merciful to me, a sinner, a backslider.  I’ve turned my back on you, God.  I recognize I’m wrong.  I renounce the devil and all of his works.  I take Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.  I speak his name with my lips for he went to the cross for me.  He rose from the dead for me. He ascended to heaven for me.  He sent the Holy Spirit for me.  God, I ask you to forgive me now.  I repent.  I change my mind.  I take Christ into my heart and I receive your forgiveness.  And now that I have your forgiveness, I’m going to forgive others.  I forgive them now.  I forgive those who persecuted me.  I forgive those who have been my enemies.  I do not lay it to their charge. I freely forgive them.  God, I ask you to forgive them.  Lord, right now I’m going to start over again.

Jesus Christ is in my heart.  His spirit has just entered me.  I am a new person.  I’ll never be the same again.  O friend, if you meant that prayer from your heart, and I believe you did, you will never, ever, ever be the same again.  Jesus Christ has cleansed you.  All that old stuff inside is gone.  You are forgiven.  And the Bible  SR03 says if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ( RR_1_John_01:09 ) Oh, I thank God.  I thank God for the miracle of forgiveness.  The greatest miracle of all is the salvation of a soul.  As we were praying, Johnny, someone who has deafness in their right ear began to receive a healing.  There is a right ear that’s being healed right now.  You say, “Well, Richard, how do you know that?”  I know for God gave me a word of knowledge as I was leading that prayer.  Someone’s right ear is being healed right now.  Someone’s tumor on the left side of your stomach, the growth way down on the left side of your stomach, is being healed right now.  That cancer there in the cells on the left side, that thing is disappearing right now.  In the mighty name of Jesus I pray for you to be healed today in your body.  I speak to the sickness and the disease and I command it to come out of your life and I enter into a holy agreement with you for God to heal you and I will not turn loose of the agreement.

There is a person who has had a rib problem right here on the last, lowest rib on the right side, right here.  You are receiving a healing, you are receiving a healing. There is a person has not been able to raise your shoulder for weeks. I believe it’s your left shoulder.  It may be your right but I believe it’s your left. You can lift that shoulder now without pain.  I want you to step to your telephone now and call the prayer group and give me your testimony.  Let me share it on the air.  Let me know what God is doing in your life.  Johnny, God bless you.  Thank you so much for being our guest today.   May the Lord continue to anoint you and bless you as you minister.  Bless you while you’re in Washington in those congressional prayer breakfasts.  Remember the Charismatic Bible Ministries Fellowship conference, the Oral Roberts Ministries conference July January June 23, 24, 25.  Mark those dates down.  Cheryl, Lindsay, till we see you tomorrow, remember, no matter what it looks like, God can turn it around for you.
