Hi Pastor John:
On our way home from KY today, I rigged my phone up over the truck speakers where Judy could watch and I could listen to the video you spoke about last night. It was very sweet to see the humility that Bro. Roberts had and to see Bro. Benny Hinn honoring him above himself and be in his place.
Going through the first tunnel, the video kept playing on my phone: the signal stops when I have played things in my phone in the past in the tunnel.
Towards the end of the video going through the 2nd tunnel , Benny Hinn ask Bro Roberts to stretch forth his hand and pray and Bro. Roberts said he felt the anointing in his right arm as he prayed and stretched it forth as in times past during his healing crusades. I prayed, “Lord, please don’t let the video signal go out and I stretched my fingers to touch his on my phone screen. When I did, Judy put her hand on my hand. I felt the power of God go down my fingers and arm and ran to my head and then down to my feet; it was overwhelming for me and I could not stop crying from the love of God that I felt. It was at the level when I felt that kind of love at your doorway in 2001 when Darren played,
As I was crying I kept telling Judy, “I felt that, I believe that”. When I looked at Judy, she was crying too. She handed me a napkin to wipe my face but I couldn’t stop sobbing. The signal never failed in the 2nd tunnel either as Bro Roberts stopped prying. The video stopped about the time we came out of the tunnel: the sun was brilliant and bright and everything looked so green and beautiful.
I just wanted to share and thank Jesus for those feelings that Judy and I shared together today.

Dear Bro. John:
I have heard you say many times that Brother Roberts was a “Prince in the Kingdom of God”. I so felt that tonight as I watched him telling of the miracles and the experiences that he had with Jesus. Such humility as he told Jesus he didn’t know what to do to take his healing ministry to his generation; how Jesus asked him if he had received the holy Spirit, and he replied yes. And then Jesus asked him if he knew what he had, and he told Jesus so humbly he was sure he didn’t know, but if he could just walk by his side as the disciples did . . . and Jesus told him that the holy Spirit was His Presence. What a beautiful story!
As Brother Roberts continued to tell of his life and the things of God, tears began to build in my eyes. I felt my heart just being drawn into his testimonies and the sincerity in his words. Especially when he began to talk about the healing tent meetings. When he told the story of Willie Phelps, the boy with the polio, I just wept. He said that sometimes all the healings don’t happen right then and there. But that little boy came back a year later to one of Bro. Roberts’ tent meetings – and was walking without crutches!! Whew! Jesus is REAL!
It reminded me of the night I was brought to a tent meeting in New Bern as a small child, and Brother Creech prayed for my eye to be healed from the large cyst that had grown on it. The doctors said only surgery would take care of it, and it would leave me scarred for life. Brother Creech pinned an anointed cloth on my little dress and laid hands on me. He sent me home to thank Jesus every night for healing my eye. My mother and I did just that. And just a few days later, we found the cyst had rolled out and was lying in the bed covers! No scar to this day!! Praise Jesus!! Jesus knew me and cared for me even before I knew him!
Thank you for sending this video. It blessed me so much. We have no reason at all to hang our heads about anything. As Jesus asked Brother Roberts when he told Jesus he had the holy Spirit: “Do you know what you have?” My, my! It made me want to “have a little talk with Jesus” just to hear his sweet Voice! And to believe that what we have in the holy Ghost can overcome anything!
All we have to do is share Jesus with one another. The words of Jesus always have life in them! I could feel the anointing in Brother
Roberts’ testimony as if he had just heard them from Jesus! So very sweet and sincere.
Thank you for everything you do to encourage us in the Lord. The meeting last night and Brother Roberts’ video stirred sweet feelings that I love to feel!

I’ve loved watching Oral Roberts clips on YouTube the past couple of days too. I’ve watched several of whatever I can find.
I love what I feel from him. I love to imagine what it would be like back then in the 50’s and 60s with him around, preaching an healing, an also being on TV. I imagine that time would have been such a blessed time. It would not be allowed at all now.
What amazes me is that despite that – and that he is a prince in God’s kingdom, he sill didn’t know the exact truth. It makes me glad that Jesus is that good, that he didn’t require Brother Roberts to know the exact truth.
I hope you are having a good day.

I know, Jenny. After I grew up and Jesus taught me some of his sweet truth, I wondered why such a very great man of God as Oral Roberts would call his work a “crusade”. The Crusades of the Popes were such wicked enterprises! But, Brother Roberts was not my servant; he was God’s, so I just leave it alone. I love that man still. He is still alive, and I want to meet him someday.
