Back to Oral Roberts

Man did I blow it with my last entry on Oral Roberts. I am battling with my memory. I have lost a lot of it and I walk around in a cloudy mind.

I know that Oral was very controversial and a little over board with his statements but God did use him.

I knew a family that had a personal experience with the faith of that man and their faith.

When my ex-husband was a 12 year old kid, he was talked into climbing the back side of the rock

in the photo, Morro Rock. Well the kids were messing around up there and he fell off the thing.

He lived through it because it happened to be the lowest tide that day in about 20 years. The

paramedics rushed him to the hospital where he remained in a coma.

His folks always listened to Oral who in his TV program would tell people to send a personal

object of their loved on and he would pray over it.

The folks sent their son's handkerchief and he anointed it with oil and prayed over it and sent it

back to them.

When they the hanky right away they went to the hospital and laid it on his forehead. Within a

day he came out of the coma and walked with his folks out of the hospital.

Oral had a gift as a faith healer and the folks had the faith that the Lord would heal their child.

I respect the man for the gift God gave him and the faith of the parents and Oral had.
