To be in the presence of Jesus! What a blessing!

Well, at least now he will be certain about purgatory.
There’s nothing better than having a wise mom..
Pray for the family. Oral Roberts Rest in Peace.
Regardless of what one may think of Oral Roberts, no one can deny that he, along with Billy Graham, was a pioneer in television ministry.
I’m sure he has sins that he’ll have to answer for when he meets the Almighty - all of us do.
Regardless, RIP Mr. Roberts.
...to say nothing of fund raising...
Yes to what you said. I was in the lobby of n private hospital a year ago and came across a preserved copy of a local newspaper from 1957. Along with other interesting things, I found a half page advertisement showing a very young looking Oral Roberts announcing a healing service he was bringing to town.
Don’t forget that God was going to kill him if he didn’t get a certain amount of money while he was up in his prayer tower.
He’s got a lot of explaining to do to God for being a hireling.
I recall once asking my priest what he would do, if a Bishop or some other priest said that if they “didn’t receive $8M in donations, that God would call them home.” His response: “I’d tell them it’s been nice knowing you!”
So Pastor Roberts, it’s been nice knowing you. God Has “finally called you home”. RIP.
Have you read the prophecy that Maurice Sklar gave 1/1/2009; he mentions Graham and Roberts...
Thanks.
I hope those left run things . . . in a squeaky clean way.
The university has a lot going for it in terms of the quality of it’s product.
BILLY GRAHAM remains.
I have long felt that when he goes . . . things will shift into a higher gear in terms of END TIMES EVENTS. Will see.
>>>He was the godfather of the prosperity gospel movement
This movement has ended up making evangelical Christianity seem like a joke. It is amazing how shameless televangelists have become in asking for money.
Could you post that prophecy here, please?
At least a link.
THANKS TONS.
What’s the link to this?
Maurice Sklar says when both Graham and Roberts passes the grace the WORLD has had from Jesus will end.
Storms On The Horizon
Maurice Sklar
Prayer Alert
January 1, 2009
We have once again passed another prophetic threshold on the 26th of December of 2008. Time itself is accelerating much like a snowball rolling down a mountain: growing ever larger and moving faster and faster as it reaches the bottom. We have entered into a narrow funnel in the spirit realm that is propelling us into the Day of the Lord. We are now in the beginning of the season of the time of judgment upon the nations of the earth.
The length of time between this and the appearing of the Lord for His bride is totally dependent upon how she will intercede in prayer. We MUST hold back these storms of judgment that are coming if the fullness of the harvest, particularly in the Arab and Moslem world is to come forth for God’s Kingdom. This is God’s word that He has given me at this time.
Beloved brothers and sisters in Messiah:
THERE IS NO GREATER WORK THAT WE CAN DO THAN TO GIVE OURSELVES IN PRAYER AND INTERCESSION FOR THE NATIONS! WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY, EVEN NOW, TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF MILLIONS OF SOULS IN ETERNITY AND WIN THEM TO GOD, IF WE WILL ONLY PRAY AND NOT FAINT AT THIS TIME.
Prayer alert #1: Pray for Israel and the Middle East!
The Israeli conflict in Gaza with Hamas is the prelude to the three final wars coming in the very near future. The first war is regional and God WILL judge Islam and its’ fanatic terrorists. All those surrounding Israel, including Syria, Iran, parts of Jordan, Egypt, and even portions of Iraq, among other regions, will be wiped out and never lived in again, according to Biblical prophecy. This will pave the way for the “international community’s” response, which will bring the second war, recorded in Ezekiel 38-39: a Russian-led Arab coalition invading Israel from the north. The third war will be Armageddon itself, before the return of our Lord, Yeshua the Messiah to establish God’s everlasting Kingdom on earth.
Pray for wisdom for those in authority in Israel: both politically and militarily. In the next two-three weeks, Israel must do all she can to eliminate the immediate threats of Hamas in the south and Hezbollah in the north. After Obama’s inauguration, the leaders of Israel know that there will come even more pressure from America toward the so-called “two-state solution” – which will only bring more judgment upon America and the nations. God will NOT allow it. Pray, nevertheless, that somehow, Obama’s foreign policy team will not completely turn their backs against Israel. Pray against the alarming rise of anti-Semitism against the cause of Zion both here in America and around the world. This sudden increase in anti-Semitism, even here in America, is very disturbing to see, as this latest war has broken out. Pray for protection of the Israeli Defense Forces, particularly if (when!) they send in the ground forces into Gaza. Pray for the Jewish people in Israel and around the world that they are protected in every way: especially those that have experienced trauma and the families of those facing the coming days of war in the Middle East. Pray for the Palestinians and the deceived Arab nations also! The Lord loves them ALL and does NOT want any to perish.
It is going to get a whole lot worse as 2009 continues to unfold. Pray for many opportunities for the Gospel message to spread and be received among the Jewish people in Israel and throughout the world. Finally, please pray for the return of the Jews to Israel from the western nations and other places where they have prospered: places in the U.S. like New York City, Los Angeles, and many cities throughout the world in Europe, South Africa, and Australia, etc. God will continue to shake the economies of the earth so the fullness of the Jews WILL come home, as the Bible predicts. Ask the Lord to wake them up and send them home!
Prayer alert #2:
Pray that the Laodicean church will repent and return to God before it is too late! Most are asleep spiritually and cannot see what is about to happen. Many will NOT be ready at the rapidly approaching midnight hour when Yeshua appears in the sky to catch away His Bride. There are so many millions of so-called “Christians” that have never made Jesus the LORD of their lives and hearts. Watch for the passing of two great Generals: Billy Graham and Oral Roberts. When they are taken from this earth, a door of grace will be closed that STILL remains open, blessed be God forever. Like Methuselah of old, I believe God is lengthening their lives as long as possible! But, this won’t last forever, Beloved!
God is a very patient farmer that is waiting for the precious souls of the earth. He doesn’t want ANY to perish but all to come to repentance, even at this final hour. Pray the Lord of the Harvest to continue to send laborers out to preach the Gospel into the darkest regions of the nations LIKE NEVER BEFORE!
Pray against the demonic spirits of religious and occult deception that the light of the truth will shine in millions of hearts that are bound in darkness – ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST!! Pray that billions of lost souls will be released from their spiritual blindness and deafness and escape the damnation of hell.
Prayer alert #3:
Cry out for God to have mercy upon America! In 2005, the Lord spoke to me an alarming prophecy concerning the preparation of the Bride and coming judgments. Almost every one of those were stopped and/or postponed, I believe, because of the intercession of the saints. Blessed be His Holy name!
However, TODAY, the Lord spoke to me clearly that we are now once again facing a removal of God’s grace covering of protection. The upcoming election in itself will be a removal of protection from terrorism in the United States and the other Babylonian-system nations. I asked The Lord why those terrorist events in that prophecy never happened, and He said:
“President Bush fell on his knees in the oval office and cried out to Me for mercy right after 9/11 and in the Spring of 2006. I heard him and answered his prayers. I made a covenant with him, like I did with King Josiah long ago, that as long as he would be in office as President of the United States, I would keep terrorism out of your country. However, concerning Israel, he has failed Me. He failed to stop the political and economic pressure upon Israel to give up and divide the land. Therefore, I have allowed the natural disasters and the economic judgments to begin to fall. This is only a small taste of what is to come. I struck the American economy and removed one third of its’ wealth during the past six months. If there is not a national humbling and repentance in America, there will be NO way out of economic disaster. Tell my Bride to cry out for mercy upon your land! For the coming days and weeks will be ones of further great upheaval and change economically. There is no stopping the next two crashes in the stock market, unless America turns back to me in prayer, fasting, and repentance. Only my Bride can lead them into this. The next economic plunge will reduce the wealth of America to half. The one after that will cause the collapse of the entire economic system and will bankrupt the entire nation. The “American Dream” will then become the “American Nightmare”.
There are two grace coverings of protection that I have allowed to remain over America. The first has to do with the covenant I made with President Bush. However, if there is no spiritual change in the next month, by the swearing in of Obama, the covering will be removed. This will release terrorism on America and the great cities of the earth. The Horseman of War is preparing to ride as is waiting to be released at My command. The seal will be broken and he is about to remove the false antichrist spirit of “peace and safety” from the wealthy and proud nations of the earth. However, I will not yet remove the covering of protection concerning nuclear weapons. THAT SEAL WILL FIRST BE BROKEN IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WATCH WHAT I DO IN THE DAYS TO COME AS I JUDGE MILITANT ISLAM: I SHALL SURELY DEFEND ISRAEL AS ALL MY PROPHETS HAVE WRITTEN IN MY WORD. WOE UPON ESAU! ESAU SHALL BE THE FIRST TO EXPERIENCE NUCLEAR JUDGMENT. PRAY! PRAY! PRAY! MILLIONS OF MUSLIM SOULS ARE IN THE BALANCE.
“Then, I will judge the other goat nations that have turned their back on Israel with this same fire. That is the judgment of fire upon the end your Babylonian system of spiritual deception, idolatry, and the greed of mankind. The “nuclear threshold”, as some have called it, will be either hastened or postponed upon America and the rest of Babylon, depending upon the prayers of My people AT THIS TIME. IF I CAN FIND EVEN ONE INTERCESSOR, IT IS MY DESIRE TO POSTPONE THESE TERRIBLE CALAMITIES. WILL YOU PRAY? I have given America 50 years to return to Me, and have pleaded with her over and over. Why will you face ruin, America: the once beautiful and majestic. I weep over you. How have the mighty fallen!
“Many natural disasters shall also continue to come in ever increasing frequency and intensity, as I shake violently the earth! It is just as I have spoken of these days in My Word. Like a pregnant woman beginning her labor, so has this planet now gone into the beginning of major contractions. Watch and pray, for I will surely protect and provide supernaturally for My Bride in this final hour! BEHOLD I AM AT THE DOOR! I AM ABOUT TO RETURN FOR HER! ALL THINGS ARE NOW MADE READY! BEHOLD THE BRIDEGROOM KING IS COMING! LOOK UP, FOR YOUR REDEMPTION IS HERE! AMEN.”
The times of decadence and plenty are nearly over. Now, we must set out hearts on eternal things, and not this present life. Comfort and pleasure are not the goal. We must be obedient as never before, fall on our knees and pray. These storm clouds are indeed on the horizon. What are you going to do about this call to intercede? Will God find the intercessors that He needs at this time? May God have mercy on us all!
May the Lord burn this timely word into our hearts and awaken the sleeping church!
Love in our Messiah!
Maurice S.
I bought an old house that had been formerly owned by a widow before she died. From time to time, bulk mail addressed to her would arrive. One was from Oral Roberts and I presume it was asking for money.
The outside of the envelope said something to this effect: “Mrs. Doe, God has told me to send you this letter.” I guess Oral missed the memo from God that Mrs. Doe had been dead for over a year.
Enter thou into the Joy of the Lord!
Well done thou good and faithful servant.
Guess he didn’t raise enough money.
