GOD PROVIDES IN A MIRACULOUS WAY😳
Now I'm going to tell you a little story about God's talking and, every time I tell it, it absolutely breaks me up. It happened many years ago when my father was out preaching and our family had run out of food. I remember how Mamma came down to the kitchen that evening around dinner time and there was literally nothing in the house to eat. "Boys, let's go visiting," she suggested, and, in spite of the empty feeling gnawing at the pit of our stomachs, we followed her out the door as she headed for the Campbell's house.

By the time we arrived, they were sitting down to supper and Sister Campbell exclaimed, "Oh, you're just in time to have supper."
But Mamma replied quickly, "Oh, no, we're not hungry."
About that time my brother Vaden, who was a year older than I was, rammed his elbow into my side and whispered hoarsely, "Boy, I wish she had asked me!"
As we sat there watching them eat that good country cooking, I don't know about Mamma, but Vaden and Oral were having a terrible time with their stomachs! After they had cleared away the last of the supper dishes, it was time for us to go home and Sister Campbell sighed, "Oh, Sister Roberts, before you go, let's pray." The next thing we knew, Mamma and Sister Campbell were down on their knees, praying up a storm! Really, I thought they were going to pray all night!
Pretty soon I heard Mamma declare, "O God, how good You are! What a good God You are, and how good You've been to us!"

Vaden rolled his eyes at me and punched me in the ribs again as he whispered, "He ain't been very good to me!"
Now Vaden was a good boy. I don't mean to insinuate that he wasn't. But that night as he and I shuffled our way home with Mamma, he was really working God over! He even blurted out what an awful thing Mamma had done, first of all, by not letting us eat when Sister Campbell had invited us, and then she had had the gall to pray that prayer about how good God is and how the Lord was meeting all our needs!
He was going on and on when, all at once, something rose up out of my belly area, words that just burst out of my being, and I piped up, "Vaden, God will take care of us!"
But he completely ignored me and kept on whining and sniveling, "Well, Papa's a preacher and he's gone all the time and people don't give him anything and we're always running out of food. Besides, we've never even owned an automobile!" And on and on and on he went.
Finally, I exclaimed in exasperation, "Vaden, you shut up! God will take care of us!"

Now, I wasn't aware that that was God speaking to me. I wasn't thinking about God at all. Those words just popped out! They came bursting out of my innermost being, out of my belly! And, for a few fleeting seconds, those words turned the Spirit of God on inside a boy named Oral Roberts!

When we reached the doorstep of our little house, Mamma said, "Vaden, open the door."
But when he tried to push the door open, he cried, "Mamma, there's something behind this door!" So he shoved with all of his might and, when he finally forced the door open and flipped on the light, there was the most gigantic box of groceries we had ever seen in our lives!

Well, Mamma didn't act like it was anything strange at all! In fact, she never even missed a stride as she told us, "Boys, put that box in the kitchen," and we began to dive in! There were all kinds of food in that box—great big sacks of flour and sugar and even a country ham!
Then Mamma exclaimed, "Bring me my apron!" and as she talked about the Lord being so good to us, she began slicing that ham and dumping flour and baking powder into a bowl to make homemade biscuits and cream gravy. I guess it was almost midnight when she finally spread that meal before us and we began shoveling it in—big hot biscuits, country ham, red-eye gravy and cream gravy!

I'll never forget how I sat there with my mouth full, a great big grin on my face, and I turned to Vaden and exclaimed triumphantly, "See! I told you God would take care of us!"
Now, I didn't understand that that was God whispering in my ear as a little child, but there He was, speaking to me way back then. Time and time again things like that happened, but I never realized it was the Lord.

McPherson would hold Saturday afternoon Miracle services for stretchers only nobody was allowed in unless they came on a stretcher or a family member with them in los angeles california stretchers only healing meetings. You couldn't get in unless you were laying down on a stretcher. 1000s of people would come late on stretchers, and every one of them would get up and walk. That's the anointing for dominion.

It's coming back to the Church.

The attitude of the church toward divine healing should be the attitude of The Master who went about doing good,delivering those that were oppressed of the devil; and who
said: ”As you go preach, saying. The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the l***r, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give." Matt. 10:7-8;
and who also gave the great commission: ”Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel and these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name they shall cast out demons, they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover."

Ours should be the attitude of the early church of whom we read: "And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, confirming the Word with signs following. Amen.”
And of Peter, when he said: "Look on us—of silver and gold have I none, but such as I have, give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." When Peter had spoken these words, he took the man and lifted him up:and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength and he leaping stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping, and praising God.
Ours should be the attitude of the early church when encompassed on every hand by worldliness, sin and unbelief.
The disciples knew ,the secret of awaking interest, silencing unbelief, and tearing down the strongholds of doubt and indifference, and cried:“And now. Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word. By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus." And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled
with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

Our attitude should be that of Peter when in the 5th chapter of Acts, by the power of Jesus the healing of the sick and the working of signs and wonders through his prayer,the entire country was shaken for miles around;
And of Philip when, in the 8th chapter, a whole city was turned to Christ because they saw and heard ”the miracles which he did" v. 6;

And of James when he left explicit directions for the healing of the sick through the prayer of faith.

It should be the attitude of John Wesley when
successfully he prayed for the healing of the sick and saw many diseases among the people, and even the lameness of his horse healed in answer to prayer.

Is There a Grave Danger of the Church or Individual Being Puffed up and Exalted by the Power Manifested in Their Midst?

The danger to be feared from this source is not nearly so great as one would at first suppose. The Lord has some very effective methods of keeping His children humble today, even as He had in the Bible days.

Take for instance, the story of the most wonderful revival of healing on record. It is found in the 5th chapter of Acts. We read that: “By the hands of the Apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people, and believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women. In so much that they brought forth the sick intothe streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.”

How wonderful!

One would expect the entire city to be in love with Peter and his Gospel. They were, too,—that is, almost all of them.
If there ever was any likelihood of Peter getting puffed up, it was on this day, but the Lord had a strong preventative ready. Opposition was raised up, not from amongst the common people who heard him gladly, but from the most unexpected quarter you could have imagined—the clergy!
‘‘Here! Here! These people are taking away all our crowds, emptying our synagogues and stirring up altogether too much excitement!” And so we read in the very next verse, that: ”Then the high priest rose up, and all they that
were with him, and were filled with indignation, and laid their hands upon the apostles, and put them in the common prison. But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said, Go, stand and
speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life/’ They were obedient to the heavenly vision but before the day was over they were called to stand before the council, were beaten, humiliated and ”commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name; And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus Christ."

History repeats itself in this as in other things and often the only opposition (in sight at least) comes from this,the least expected quarter you could have imagined the clergy!
