Dear Partner, When Gloria and I arrived in Tulsa, Okla., in January 1967, we drove through the campus of Oral Roberts University. Kellie was 3 years old, and John was a little over a year old. Kellie said, “OH, DADDY, JESUS LIVES HERE!” The campus was beautiful, and it still is. I, however, had a…
Dear Partner, Merry Christmas and a marvelous, wonderful, and very prosperous 2024! What does Christ-mas mean? Christ is the Greek word for “The Anointed, the Messiah, Son of the Living God.” It is used 569 times (Strong’s G5547). Mas is “a carnival or celebration.” So Christ-mas is a celebration of The Anointed One and His…
Dear Partner, The closing days of 2023 are just around the corner. So what’s next? You and I are people of The BOOK. According to 2 Corinthians 5:6-7: Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from The LORD: (For we walk by faith, not…
Dear Partner, The month of October always brings a smile to my face, especially around 10 a.m. on the 9th. That’s the day I met Gloria Jean Neece and fell head over heels in love with her. Six months later, we were married, and six months after that, on Oct. 26, 1962, Gloria gave her…
Dear Partner, Think about this for a moment. Prayer does not make faith work. Faith makes prayer work. Let’s once again look at the flagship scripture on faith in Mark 11:22-25: And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be…

The LORD is gracious and full…
Dear Partner, The Constitution of the United States is 247 years old this year. According to 2 Peter 3:8, that’s only minutes in the eyes of our God: “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with The LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”…
Dear Partner, Faith works! Faith works when it’s put to work. Let’s read Mark 11:20-25: And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. And Jesus answering…
Dear Partner, Grace be unto you, and peace, from God, the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. We have offices and staff on five continents, so you and I, as Partners in this ministry, are doing our part in bringing to pass…
Dear Partner, Did you ever realize the depth of truth in Matthew 11:29, when Jesus said, “Learn of me”? We first have to come to Him to learn of Him. What is meekness? It is gentleness. It’s also one of the fruit of the spirit listed in Galatians 5:23. The Bible states that Moses was…
