Richard Roberts want to share something to you. In Amos 3:7 the Bible tells us, Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. And recently I believe God did just that when He revealed a “wake-up” vision to my dad of what He’s about to do in the earth. God is sending us signs or wake-up calls as His Word said He would: I [God] will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath: blood and fire and vapor of smoke…before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And…whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Acts 2:19-21 NIV). God wants us to be prepared for Jesus’ coming!
Through His vision to my dad, God is giving us an opportunity not only to know what’s coming so we can be prepared personally and in our own families, but also so we can help wake up others and lead them to salvation and eternity with the Lord. He told us in 2 Peter 3:9 that He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
The following is just a small portion of what God revealed in a vision to His servant Oral Roberts. I encourage you to read and pour into your heart this important message of love from God.
The Vision
Oral: In the midst of the turmoil, the fear, the anxiety that’s in our nation and in our world, I heard the voice of God. I’ve heard that voice many times, and there’s no way I can fail to understand that it’s His voice because I’m familiar with it. I heard it, and then I saw with my eyes something I’d never seen. Suddenly in the clouds in the skies above New York City and the eastern part of the United States, I saw something which hung there for quite some time. Then it spread out across America without touching the ground. And then God defused it and moved it away from America.
What did I see? I saw something coming down from above: smoke and vapor and blood, or it looked like that to my spiritual eyes. There it was, hanging so huge until it almost blotted out the sky. Instantly I thought about 9/11, when terrorists attacked the United States. I remembered the fear that struck my heart, and I knew that this was a preview of things similar to it that were going to happen.
Now in my vision I saw this thing hovering and great changes coming to where I couldn’t miss it. And then I heard…the sound coming into my ears penetrated my whole being. Then I heard God’s voice. He said, “This is a sign according to the second chapter of Acts. This is one of the signs of the end time because the world is not ready for the Second Coming of My Son. My church is not ready for the Second Coming of My Son. The Jews, with whom I’ve had covenant for thousands of years, are not ready for the Second Coming of My Son. The nations of the earth are not ready for the Second Coming of My Son.” God continued, “America has been set aside by a special covenant that I made with many of the people who founded this nation, that this was My nation, and the Gospel was going to go out from it unlike any other nation. It would be the center of the Gospel that I was sending out.”
God said to me, “You remember that I said to My disciples, ‘Go into all the world and teach all nations, and when that teaching has reached the nations, then shall the end come’” (Matthew 24:14 paraphrased). And then He startled me by saying, “With all of the widespread force of My church in the world—but particularly in the United States—there is a wasting of My power, there is a failure to grasp the end time.
“People are coming to church on Sunday morning mostly for themselves. And some preachers are not really concerned about the nations of the earth. And when 9/11 struck, there was a fear that came into people’s hearts. My church was not prepared to deal with that. People came to church, and then they dropped back.”
God told me, “I love people. I created them. I love them and I sent My only begotten Son. The thing that is breaking My heart is that I commanded My people, My church, to preach the Gospel in all the world and to teach all nations.
“And while there are evangelists and pastors and prophets and apostles and all kinds of My workers in various parts of the world and in some of the nations of the earth, it’s just a drop in the bucket to what I need My disciples to do. And I, Richard Roberts, love people so much I cannot afford to let them go on like they are.”
It’s Time To Wake Up
Richard: Then God began speaking to my dad about the judgment that’s coming to those who will refuse to see the signs and turn away from their sins. So make no mistake that judgment is coming for America and for the nations of the world. But judgment doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It can be a good thing. We can examine our own hearts and judge our own sins so that God doesn’t have to.
God wants to wake us up so we can get things right in our own lives, and then share the message of His love with those who have never heard it.
I’m excited! Jesus’ coming is good news to all those who believe and trust in Him…those who will be caught up with Him in the air, to reign with Him forever (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 paraphrased). So look for the signs! Wake up and get prepared! Examine your heart and ask God to help you get rid of anything in your life that is unlike Him. Then share the salvation message with those around you.
And here’s something very important to remember…God specifically told my dad that we are not to get into fear over what’s coming. We are to trust Him, be prepared for Jesus’ return to the earth, and share the good news that Jesus is coming soon.
Spreading God’s Message
I recently conducted a Healing Rally in England, where only a tiny percentage of the population attends a church of any kind. Other rallies are in the planning stages, and God is speaking to me about other nations where we must go and take the message of Jesus’ soon return to the earth. On Thursday, October 7, we began airing The Place for Miracles, a weekly 30-minute program on ABC Family network (6:30 a.m. Eastern and Pacific times). With the help of our friends and Partners, every week we now have the opportunity to reach a potential 81 million households with the life-changing message of the Gospel!
We are also in the process of expanding the Abundant Life Prayer Group’s ability to answer more telephone calls that ever before. Every day we receive more than 2,000 urgent calls for prayer. That number is increasing ever day. And with our current outdated phone system, we are missing many of those important calls from people who desperately need someone to agree with them in prayer for a miracle. We have to do better and we know it. We are working in every way we know how to take God’s saving, healing, delivering message of the Gospel to the nations…because we’re gearing up for the great harvest of souls that will come to know Jesus in these last days.
I believe the time is short, and compared to the numbers of people still to be reached with the Gospel, the laborers are very few.
You Can Play a Part in the End-Time Harvest of Souls.
I encourage you to plant your seed of faith today and request a copy of Wake Up! Jesus Is Coming Sooner Than You Think, which includes my dad’s vision, along with a prophetic word of confirmation and interpretation from evangelist Kenneth Copeland. You may want to order copies for your friends and family as well. When you plant your seed, not only will you be helping us reap a harvest of souls for eternity, but I believe God can bring the harvest of miracles you need in your own life and the lives of your loved ones!
