From the campus of Oral Roberts University and the City of Faith Health Care Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, today with special guests LaVerne and Edith Tripp. Now, the Oral Roberts Ministry presents.
That’s right. With God’s help, notice, Lindsay, that I said, with God’s help, with God’s help–you know, God can perform miracles. (That’s right) But He has to have willing vessels. He has to have (That’s right) people to work through. I was talking with someone just a few minutes ago and I said, “God doesn’t rain twenty dollar bills down out of heaven. That’s not the way He works.”
He works through people. And you know, God doesn’t have anyone to work through that doesn’t make mistakes. (Amen) Have you ever thought about it? God has only people to work through and people make mistakes. Isn’t it wonderful to know that, that God can work through you even though you make mistakes in your life?
The good thing about a mistake, Lindsay, is, you can get up, you can say, “Well, I made a mistake. Lord, I ask You to forgive me. Help me not to do that again.” And you can start over. And God gives us a second chance. He lets us start all over. And you know what the best part about God is? He lets us start over with a clean slate. He wipes it all away.
You’re mentioning second chance. I’ve just, just this past weekend I finished writing my autobiography titled, HE’S THE GOD OF A SECOND CHANCE. And I’m, it’s on the way to the printer right now. I hope that within about two weeks I’ll be able to offer it to you on this program. We’re going to get it printed just as quickly as possible. For about ten years, Lindsay, publishes have been after me to write an autobiography, my life story, and I have never felt led to do it until, until now.
But they wanted your story, all the, all the grime and dirt and all the, all the things about how can we get the gossip and everything. That’s not what’s going to minister to the needs of people. We could gossip all day long. We could tell you stories about all day long but that’s not going to minister to your needs. Richard and all of us, everyone of us have made mistakes in our life.
