Thanks for everything.  Rest, sir.
 
 
I would not be who I am today without God's work through this man.  And I ain't the only one.
 
Bless the Lord for his life.
 
 
This is the book that I read at Texas A&M in 1997 that convinced me of 1) my call to go to seminary and 2) God's Spirit still being active today in mirales, tongues, etc (no cessationism).  I was going to go to Dallas Theological Seminary...until I read this book...and I felt God say otherwise...
 
Yeah...true story.
 
God, grant your servant eternal peace in Your Care.
 
Amen.

God's Charge to Oral Roberts about ORU...

"Raise up your students to hear My voice, to go where My light is seen dim, where My voice is heard small, where My power is not known, even to the uttermost bounds of the earth. Their work will exceed yours, and in this I am well pleased."

I believed that God actually said this to him.  When I was there in sem. 

I STILL believe it.

Wouldn't you if you were me...now?  icon_bandit

BBCNews picks up the story...

A Prayer for Oral Roberts' Friends and Family
Tuesday December 15, 2009


Evangelist Oral Roberts, died of complications from pneumonia today. Roberts conducted more than 300 healing crusades in over 35 countries on six continents and it is estimated that he has personally laid hands on more than two million people for healing prayer. As we acknowledge the passing of this faithful servant of God, let us offer prayer for the man who prayed for millions. Please join us in prayer for his family, friends, and every person who has ever been touched by his life and ministry.

Heavenly Father,

We thank you for the life and work of Granville Oral Roberts. Though we mourn his passing and the fact that he is absent in the body, we celebrate the fact that he is now present with you. We thank you for every life that he has touched through his ministry. We thank you for the institution, Oral Roberts University, that he founded and that has served as a hub for training some of the worlds most influential Christian leaders and thinkers. We thank you for giving him a rich life and we pray that his family and friends will remember that life. Be a comforter for those who are inconsolable. Be an encourager for those who are feeling discouraged. Be whatever and whoever you need to be for those who have been and will be impacted by this loss. Let every heart pray.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen.

My favorite place in ORU during sem.

Especially the Holy Spirit Research Center. 

It's where I was introduced to JPS (the Journal of Pentecostal Studies), Clark Pinnock and his message of "openness" to Pentecostals, and Amos Yong's work.

Yeah.

And then there's this lady whom I've had the pleasure of travelling with in California for a month back in the 90's who, with her husband, worked along side of Oral Roberts in the early days of the "faith movement"--Freda Lindsay.  She just "graduated."
