Dear Partner,
The Spirit of God spoke to Gloria in 1998
saying, Preach the goodness of God
without reservation, and pay no
attention to the reproach of men. My
father in the faith, Oral Roberts, said it
constantly: God is a good God! As most of
you know, Gloria and I had no religious
background, so we rejoiced at the sound
of those words. We learned later,
however, that some people got upset
when they heard Brother Roberts say
that.
A well-known minister, who knew I had a
close relationship with Brother Roberts,
came to me and said, "I wish Oral Roberts
wouldn't keep saying that God is a good
God." I don't mind telling you it shocked
me.
I said to him, "Should he say God is a bad
God?"
"Well, no, but he gives people the wrong
idea about Him."
3 AND GOD SAID, LET THERE BE
LIGHT: AND THERE WAS LIGHT.
4 AND GOD SAW THE LIGHT, THAT IT
WAS GOOD: AND GOD DIVIDED THE
LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS.
Well, it doesn't matter what any man
says about God. It's what the Bible says
that counts!
Let's begin in the book of beginnings by
reading Genesis 1:3-4:
P A R T N E R L E T T E R
2 0 2 1
God saw the light and it was GOOD. Now,
look at verse 10.
10 AND GOD CALLED THE DRY LAND
EARTH; AND THE GATHERING
TOGETHER OF THE WATERS CALLED
HE SEAS: AND GOD SAW THAT IT
WAS GOOD.
God saw that it was GOOD. Verse 12 says,
12 AND THE EARTH BROUGHT FORTH
GRASS, AND HERB YIELDING SEED
AFTER HIS KIND, AND THE TREE
YIELDING FRUIT, WHOSE SEED WAS
IN ITSELF, AFTER HIS KIND: AND GOD
SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD.
