Let's begin by reading what Jesus' half
brother, James (Matthew 13:55), said in
Chapter 1, verses 13-17, of his book:
Let no man say when he is tempted, I
am tempted of God: for God cannot be
tempted with evil, neither tempteth he
any man: But every man is tempted,
when he is drawn away of his own lust,
and enticed. Then when lust hath
conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin,
when it is finished, bringeth forth
death. Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Every good gift and every perfect gift
is from above, and cometh down from
the Father of lights, with whom is no
variableness, neither shadow of
turning.
As you know, I came into this world on
Dec. 6, 1936. I had no idea that my
"good and perfect gift" had come into
this world until Oct. 8, 1961, when I met
Gloria Jean Neece, who was born in
Center Point, Ark., on the 12th day of
this month in 1942. Six months later, we
were married. Six months after that,
both of us were born again.
Then, in January 1963, we stepped
through the door to the supernatural
when we were filled to overflowing
with, and by, the Holy Spirit of the
living God and speaking in other
tongues as the Spirit gave us utterance.
In January 1967, I enrolled at Oral
Roberts University—the "good and
perfect" plan for our lives!
Now, here we are, 58 years later, thanks
to you and our Partners here in the
USA and around the world, still
preaching the uncompromised WORD
of faith according to Romans 10:6-17:
6 BUT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF
FAITH SPEAKETH ON THIS WISE, SAY NOT
IN THINE HEART, WHO SHALL ASCEND
INTO HEAVEN? (THAT IS, TO BRING
CHRIST DOWN FROM ABOVE:)
7 OR, WHO SHALL DESCEND INTO THE
DEEP? (THAT IS, TO BRING UP CHRIST
AGAIN FROM THE DEAD.)
8 BUT WHAT SAITH IT? THE WORD IS
NIGH THEE, EVEN IN THY MOUTH, AND IN
THY
HEART: THAT IS, THE WORD OF FAITH,
WHICH WE PREACH;
9 THAT IF THOU SHALT CONFESS WITH
THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, AND
SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE HEART THAT
GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD,
THOU SHALT BE SAVED.
