BCN News Alert: Evangelist Oral Roberts Graduates to Heaven at 91"My father has run his race and finished his course. Now he is in Heaven, and we as Christians have the Bible promise that someday we will be reunited. My heart is sad, but my faith in God is soaring." ?Richard Roberts FOUNDING EDITOR'S NOTE: Just last night I was listening to Kim Clements's CD, where he says, "this year many will ask ?Where is the God of Oral Roberts?'" Time passed and he was considered mistaken, but we now must pray for the family of Oral Roberts and rejoice in his passing to Glory. He was a great man of God. In my early years, I did not believe in his healing ministry, but He helped lead the way to the healing movement. ?Steve Shultz, BCN.
An excerpt from Oral Roberts' memorial website reads: A leader in the Charismatic movement of the 1960s and '70s, Roberts' in-depth study of the Holy Spirit led to a new revelation of the power that resides in every born-again Believer. In 1981, Roberts took a bold step of faith in building the City of Faith Medical and Research Center to merge the healing streams of medicine and prayer as God had revealed it to him. In the years it operated, it made a tremendous impact upon people's understanding that God heals through both prayer and medicine, as well as emphasizing the importance of treating the whole person?body, mind, and spirit. Roberts wrote more than 130 books, several personal commentaries on the Bible, and other inspirational material. One of his most substantive works is a 74-CD set titled Oral Roberts Reading the New Testament with His Personal Commentary that includes his life's teachings on God's Word. Perhaps best known is his book The Miracle of Seed Faith. Oral Roberts was preceded in death by his darling wife of more than 66 years, Evelyn. He often said he could never have done all that he did without having Evelyn by his side. Oral and Evelyn Roberts were truly a partnership for the Lord in taking the message of God's saving, healing, delivering power to the world for more than six decades. In remembering his father, son Richard said, "Oral Roberts was the greatest man of God I've ever known. A modern-day apostle of the healing ministry, an author, educator, evangelist, prophet, and innovator, he was the only man of his generation to build a worldwide ministry, an accredited university, and a medical school. His name is synonymous with miracles. And he came along when many in Christendom did not believe in God's power and goodness. "Beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, he was not only my earthly father; he was my spiritual father and mentor. The last member of his generation in the Roberts family, he had a passion to bring healing to the sick. "The Bible teaches that when a Christian dies, he or she is instantly transferred into the presence of God. My father has run his race and finished his course. Now he is in Heaven, and we as Christians have the Bible promise that someday we will be reunited. My heart is sad, but my faith in God is soaring."
