LADY: Hallelujah!  The Word of God says, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and everything in it.”  Is that just to the men?  Is that just for the men?  Are we on the earth too?  Jesus loves Niger, but Jesus especially loves the women of Niger.  God is doing something new in our midst.  His power is in us tonight.  Women of Niger, God is bringing a women of Niger.  (Applause)

In the Word, in the book of Jeremiah, chapter 29, verse 11, God said, “I have thoughts about you.”  God is thinking about the women of Niger.  God is not just thinking of those men of Niger.  God is thinking of the women of Niger.

God said, “I am thinking of you.  I want to give you peace.  I have not come to do evil to you.  I have come to give you a future and a hope.”  We have a hope in Jesus Christ.

He came to set the women free, free to love our husbands, free to love each other, free to read His Word.  He wants to release us from bondage.

Jesus said, “The thief, he came to steal.  He came to kill, and he came to destroy.”  But Jesus said, “I have come that they, I have come that they, the women of Niger, I come that the women of Niger, that they have life and that they may have it more abundantly.”

Women of Niger, God is challenging us that the Word the man of God is bringing, it is a word for us.  This Word is for us.  Embrace the Word of God.  Embrace Jesus.  Embrace the abundant life He has brought to you.  Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!

Scripture after scripture just came pouring out of our mouths, until we knew, we knew that we knew that we knew.  Say this.  Say, “I know.”  Say, “I know that I know.”  Come on, “I know that I know that I know.”  How do I know?  I just know that I know.  I know that I know.  I just know that I know because I know that I know.  That’s how I know, because I know that I know that I know.  (Applause)  That’s how I know.

Something comes into your knower on the inside.  You don’t have the evidence on the outside, but you have the evidence on the inside.  And when you talk from the inside, it starts to get out on the outside.

When you believe it with your heart, then out of your mouth comes the Word of God.  And when you speak it, something begins to happen.  A spontaneous miracle begins to happen.  And that which you heard and that which you believed becomes a word of faith.  And as it comes out of your mouth, it begins to happen.

And we did that for months.  One night I was preaching, and I had studied all afternoon for the message.  And when I got to the podium, the Lord said, “Don’t preach that.  Change your message.”  And right on the spot He gave me a new sermon.

And when I finished, I said, “All of you have pain in your legs and arms and feet, stand up.”  To my amazement, half the people stood.  And I closed my eyes.  I was afraid to look.  And I began to speak to arthritis and pain in backs and feet and legs and hips.

I shut my eyes.  I was afraid to look.  I didn’t know what was going to happen.  I prayed and prayed, and the more I prayed the stronger my prayer got.  It was a word of faith.  My eyes were shut, but the word was flowing out of me.

Then I opened my eyes, and I said, “Who is being healed?”  And hundreds of people began to raise their hands.  Backs began to get healed.  Feet and legs began to get healed.  Knees began to get healed.  People who were crippled began to walk.  People started coming off of crutches and wheelchairs.

And I looked at my wife.  She sat there like Sister Aviara is tonight, like she’s sitting there, my wife was sitting there.  And she looked at me like this.  She pointed at me and said, “Yes, yes, this is what we prayed for.  This is what we believed.  This is what we said with our mouths.  And out of the abundance of our hearts, our mouth had spoken it.  And that which we believed has now come to pass.”

And in the name of Jesus, I send His word to you.  The Bible says, “He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction.”  And so I send His Word to you tonight.  I send His healing Word to you.

Legs, in the authority of Jesus’ name, be healed.  Every pain, come out.  Pain, come out of the feet.  Pain, come out of the knees.  Pain, come out of the ankles.  Pain, come out of the hips.  Pain, come out of the bones.  Pain, come out of the muscles.  Pain, come out of the joints, in the name of Jesus.

Now begin to move your legs.  Begin to bend your legs.  Begin to move your legs.  Many of you are beginning to get healed right now.  Examine yourself.  If you can tell healing is coming into your feet, if you can tell healing is coming into your legs, if you feel the power of God on your legs now, begin to come here.  Begin to come.  Begin to come.

Begin to walk toward the front.  If you can tell there’s a healing that’s already been done in your legs, begin to come now.

Now you who have pain in your back, you have pain in your shoulders, lay your hand on your back.  Lay your hand on your back, or lay your hand on your shoulders, or lay your hand on your neck.  In the authority of Jesus’ name, I speak to backs.  You who have had pain in your back, I speak to the source of the pain.

In the authority of Jesus’ name, pain, come out.  Back pain, come out.  Back pain, come out.  Pain in the shoulders, you who cannot lift your shoulders like this, in the name of Jesus, pain, come out.  You who cannot move your neck—someone’s neck is frozen and it’s being healed.  Someone’s shoulder is being healed right now.  Someone’s back and feet and legs are being healed right now.

Father, in the authority of Jesus’ name, right now I thank You because You told me today this is going to be a Cornerstone divine moment, a $100,000 divine moment for Cornerstone, for the spreading of the gospel of Jesus Christ

Lord, I thank You that it’s getting into people’s hearts that we don’t have to pay attention to the recession.  We can live above that even though we might be in the middle of it.  And that which is coming and could very well get worse, we could see $5-a-gallon gasoline, we don’t know.  We know what they’re saying.  But, Lord, Isaac sowed in the middle of it, and he reaped a hundredfold harvest.

Lord, Isaac doesn’t have any better relationship with You than we can have if we decide.  You’re the same God.  You’re the same yesterday, today, and forever.  And so I thank You right now.  We make a decision we’re going to sow first.  We’re going to sow in quality soil, and we’re going to get into expectation, in the name of the Lord.

And I pray right now, my friends, I pray for the nine others of you.  I’m the first one.  I’m the first out of ten through our ministry.  I’m praying right now for the nine others of you that God is speaking to, and He’s doing it right now.  Inside me I know He’s speaking right now to you.  He’s speaking to nine others of you, husbands, wives, ministers, businesses, to plant a $5,000 seed or a pledge, nine others of you, that you will hear it right here.  You’ll hear it.  And you’ll say, “I’m going to pick up my phone.  I’m going to do it.  I’m going to launch out into the deep like Peter did, and I’m going to let down my nets with expectation, believing for a miracle.”

So I want to encourage you and I want to say this, Richard, God bless you.  Thank you for your gift.  And I know right now that he’s ministering around the world now doing the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association ministry, going to many different countries.  And he’ll come to churches, and now you’re able to freely minister.

And I’m just so thrilled to see you where God has you right now.  And you see his address right there.  Pray for Dr. Richard and his lovely wife Lindsay and his family.  What God is doing is wonderful.  And if you’ve gotten touched today, get on the phone, call us.

RON: Richard, bless you, brother.  What a joy to have you.

RR: Hallelujah, Ron, I’m glad to be at Cornerstone.

RON: Well, I tell you one thing right now, look at this.  I like it.  You’re having an input already.

RR: If I was doing The Hour of Healing tonight, I would be—  Yeah, but you’ve just got the tie.  You’ve got to be in jeans, you’ve got to be in—  I know we’re in Pittsburgh, but this Oklahoma boy, I was raised on a ranch, you know, and I’m in boots or cockroach kickers is what we used to call them, get those cockroaches in the corner.

RON: I just have to ask this, how is Richard Roberts doing?

RR: Richard Roberts is fine.  I have been on vacation for the last five days with my family.  I have ridden every roller coaster Walt Disney has ever made.  And yesterday I was upside down.  I was sideways, and I wasn’t sure which way I was coming and my kids got me off those rides.

But we took a little five-day R&R with our family.  And people need to do that.  You need to spend some special time with your family.  And so we were with the mouse yesterday.  And we flew up here to be a part of this tonight, and I’m so glad.  I’ve got a Disney shirt on.  And they didn’t make me put on a coat and tie.  Mickey Mouse, right there it is.  M-i-c-k-e-y  M-o-u-s-e.

RON: I’ve got to say this real quickly because we want you to get started here.  But years ago, one of the first times you and I worked together was doing the inauguration for the second term of John Ashcroft in Jefferson City.  You graciously came down, and we aired it nationally.  And I don’t know whether you noticed or not, but I found out later, that President Bush, Sr. watched that and gave the invitation to John and that’s where Ashcroft and him came together.

PHIL: Well, I want to just turn you loose right now, and right now there are thousands of people that the doctors have given up on.  And they’re watching because there’s no hope.  I believe that God has given you not only the gift, but the word.  So let’s just release the word of healing.

RR: Mark 5 is the story of this woman.  And you just mentioned people without hope.  This woman was without hope.  The Bible says that she had spent all of her money on doctors, and nothing could be done.  The doctors had, no doubt, done everything they knew to do.  And in those days, they didn’t have the medical experts that they have today.

She’d spent all that she had and was nothing bettered.  But she heard about Jesus.  Thank God for TBN, where you hear about Jesus 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  She heard.  And then hearing produced something that she said.

You can’t just hear the word.  The word has to become a word of faith to you.  It has to come out of your mouth.  And she said, “If I can only touch the border of His garment.”

Pastor Phil, the Jewish theologians teach us that Jesus, who was a rabbi, Raboni, wore a type of prayer shawl that had tassels at the base.  And the tassels were symbolic of the law of Moses, which was the Word of God.

PHIL: The audience knows a whole lot about you and a little bit about me, and the little bit they know about me is I’m really strong into legacy.  And I really believe that God strategically has predetermined when we would be born, where we would be born, by whom we would be born so that His ongoing purpose can be revealed.  And you carry such a great mantle of healing.

Now let me just say this.  We’ve had you at our church, and you carry the gift with such grace.  I mean, when you walk in this kind of power that God uses you, and the gift of healing is a powerful gift, you can build a lot of hype around it and you can create a lot of personality distractions when you have that gift.

But I love the way that you handle it with grace, with humility, and even with humor.  You disarm people as you minister.  When did you know this gift was on you, and I want people to kind of know the heart behind this gift that’s on you.

RR:I don’t know that I knew as a boy.  I think my father knew.  He prophesied over me when I was a teenager, but I was not interested in God.  I wanted to be a nightclub entertainer and a professional athlete, you know.

You know, I told my dad to get the hell out of my life.  And he said, “That’s what I’m trying to do.  I’m trying to get the hell out of your life.”

But I traveled with him as a boy, and when he would lay hands on the sick, oftentimes he would call me up and have me lay hands on them with him.  And oftentimes when he would walk in prayer lines, especially on Sunday afternoon, which was the last service of his crusades, he would lay hands on everyone who had not received the prayer of faith during the week, or the two weeks.

And I remember once walking the prayer line with him in Trenton, New Jersey, when he laid hands on 9,000 in one afternoon.  That has an effect upon you.

And I began to dream of a healing ministry.  Now it was unusual.  I didn’t want God, but I wanted the healing ministry.  But it wasn’t until I was in my late teenage years that I came to Christ, and God put that dream and vision of a healing ministry in my life.

Then Lindsay and I, my wife Lindsay is my biggest encourager.  She’s my partner for life in marriage.  But she said, “You can do it.”  You know, you either get a, “You can’t do it,” or you get, “You can do it.”  And Lindsay gave me the “You can do it,” and that dream that was in my heart since a little boy became a reality.  And the gifts of the Spirit began to flow in my life.

But I take it back to those days of my father and also traveling with Kathryn Kuhlman when that ministry was birthed in my spirit.  It’s got to be birthed inside your spirit before it comes out.

But in those days of being with my father and being with Kathryn and then when Lindsay and I married 28 years ago, the gifts of the Spirit began to flow in my life.  And I thank God for it.

But you don’t have to have hype when you have Jesus, when you have the Healer, when the Healer is present.  And the Healer is present here.  You could feel His presence when we walked into this place.  He’s here now.

And finally I said, “Mrs. Chiluba, I must deliver the Word of the Lord.”  And I felt a hand tugging me on my coat.  The minister said,  ”Not now.  Not now.  Don’t mess this up.”  And I said, “I have to be obedient.”

That was the operation of the word of knowledge–I GAVE that word.  And Mrs. Chiluba burst into tears.  She said, “There’s no way you could have known what I went through between my third and fourth child.  I was hospitalized in South Africa.  I developed a stomach problem; I’m still not well.”

I laid hands on her and instantly God healed her; she confirmed it with her doctor.  That was an operation of the word of knowledge.  It’s supernatural information.

You say, “You mean that will flow through me?”  Yes!  If you’ll say, “God, what are You trying to say to me?”  When these gifts come, when they begin to operate through you, if you’ll say, “God, what are You trying to say?  What do You want me to do?”  If you’ll pray, I promise you God will open a door.  Oftentimes it will be a word, you’ll be in a crowd and you don’t know exactly who it is.  But if you’ll say,  ”God, show me who You want me to deliver this to?”  He’ll show you every time.  These gifts will flow through you.  Turn to the person next to you and say, “These will flow through you.”  (RESPONSE)

The third is the gift of discerning of spirits.  The gift of discerning of spirits–that’s the third of the revelation gifts.  Now I want you to notice that I did not say, “The gift of discerning people’s faults.”  (LAUGHTER)  That’s not what this is about.  This is about discerning in the spirit realm.

The discerning of spirits allows you to discern in the spirit realm.  This gift flows through women more than men.  Why?  Because women are more emotionally made and they are more sensitive to the Holy Spirit than we men.

The gifts of the discerning of spirits operate very big through my wife, Lindsay.  And I’ve told people all over the world, that when it comes to hiring high positions in the university and in our ministry, I wouldn’t dream of having an interview without her sitting beside me, because the gift of discernment flows big time through her.

Look, I can make enough mistakes on my own.  I need help.  The gift of discernment allows you to see into the supernatural realm. That’s what happened with the apostle Paul, in Acts chapter 16, when he was on his way to church to pray.

I had come to the place where I was no longer happy with the church I was pastoring.  I was no longer content with my salvation.  Now that’s a hard thing for me to admit because I’d been genuinely saved and baptized with the Holy Spirit and a remarkable, miraculous healing of my lungs, and heard God’s voice to take His healing power to my generation.  Someday to build Him a university based on His authority and the Holy Spirit.

I had a tremendous call come on my life.  But now, twelve years after that, the whole thing was not working.  My faith was not working.  My people were more interested in coming and sitting there, and giving me a decent hearing, and going home.  There really wasn’t much going on in me, and not much going on in them. And I was not a good example.  Because I wasn’t prospering, they weren’t.  They couldn’t see God working through me; therefore, they couldn’t see God working through them.

And I began to realize if the pastor was not prospering and having the abundant life, then how could his people have a vision that it could happen to them?  And this was a time, in 1947, when there was great poverty in most parts of the United States.  The pastor was supposed to come, and no matter what they offered him, he was to take it and not say anything about it.  Just take whatever happens.  And that was a factor in people not expecting to do better.  And it was a national problem, as well as a spiritual problem, and I was part of the problem, rather than part of the answer.

And I was through.  I wanted to walk out.  Not only from the church – I wanted to walk away from the whole thing.  It was a terrible time in my life.  I just tremble to think what would have happened to me had these things not suddenly begun to happen; had I not given my week’s salary – which was far beyond the tithe, the tithe would have been five and a half dollars – but the check was $55, which was my salary.

And the Spirit of the Lord spoke in my heart, and I could have said no.  But I gave it, and I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting anything back because that was a no-no in our denomination.  No-no.  You just give to God.  It’s a sacrifice. And they didn’t, and I didn’t, and nobody did among my acquaintances, taught that you’re supposed to look to God to give back to you.

Finding Nemo, the brand-new one, within the first five minutes of the movie, mama’s dead.  Think about it.  And yet we sit back.  How long are you going to tolerate this spirit of rebellion in the church?  And yet we take it.  We talk bad about other preachers.  “You know Oral Roberts got his car by stealing it out of the offering.  You know that, and I know that.”  You know my jewelry came because I stole it out of the offering.  You know that, and I know that.

Well, you know I drive a Lexus.  You know I got that car because I certainly stole that sucker out of the offering.  Somebody put this great big Lexus right in the middle of that offering bucket, and I stole it right out of the offering. Liar, liar, pants on fire!  That man came here two years ago, never met him before in my life.  The Spirit of God spoke to him, told him to buy me that car.  I didn’t even know what it was.  When they asked me to insure it, what kind of car it was, I said, “I don’t know.”  I had to go look.

But yet other preachers accused other preachers, and while we’re sitting here accusing each other, we’re all going broke.  And yet they’re making billions of dollars to hit a ball with a bat.  Give me a bat.  I might not be good, but I might not be bad.  Am I in the wrong profession?  Am I serving the wrong God?  Are you in the wrong profession?  Are you hungry?  Are you sick?  Are you tired of your belly aching? Are you tired enough to stand up and say, “I will not tolerate the spirit of Jezebel in the church any more.  In the name of Jesus, you lying, foul spirit, you get out of my house.  You get out of my children.  You get out of my church.  You get out of my Christian school.  You get out of Oral Roberts University.”

Start to support Richard Roberts.  Why?  Because he’s my husband?  No. Because he’s sending young kids to the nations of the earth, like Jude Fuquay, who is changing the face of Seattle.  Did Timba and Puma ever change the face of Seattle?  Did they ever get anybody saved or healed or delivered or set free?
