Your life is God's gift to you.
What you do with your life is your gift back to Him.

Oral Roberts
A PERSONAL WORD FOR YOU
I am totally convinced of the healing power of prayer as a mighty instrument of
God's healing for you. Nothing can shake me from this strong belief. When you
know you are going to die and then something happens inside you and saves
your life—that happened to me—that's convincing. I thank God for it.
But I'm also just as convinced that doctors and medicine are part of God's
healing love to us. You see, I don't really care what instrument or delivery
system God uses to bring healing and success—just so long as it comes. Right? I
thank God for that.
Then, too, I've had to get myself by the bootstraps a few times and do something
inside myself to get out of my own deadly negative emotions. And that's another
one of God's instruments for healing—me improving my relationship with
myself.
Can you imagine how I stood up and nearly shouted out loud when for the first
time I really understood something Jesus said a long time ago... I've been reading
it for years...
I've preached on it... but now listen to it!
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself" (Luke
10:27).
I've always thought of that as the love commandment, or "Golden Rule." It
hadn't really dawned on me what He was saying until now.
He's telling you and me to get our relationships right:
1) our relationship with God.
2) our relationships with other people.
3) our relationship with ourself.
And the really exciting part of this is that it is powerful Seed-Faith working for
my total healing and well-being.
For example:
When I know God as the Source of my total supply and look to Him for all my
needs, I've finally gotten into a right relationship with Him.
When I'm reaching out to people and helping them find answers, and giving for
the needs of others and learning to receive from God through others—that's the
planting of precious seed to grow into the miracles I need. And my relationship is
right with others (my neighbor).
When I get things straightened out inside me ... when I'm confident and full of
faith the way God told me to be and I'm expecting and receiving the miracles
that are coming my way every day, I've gotten into a right relationship with
myself.
Can you imagine how excited I am about this?
God is my Source—I look to Him.
I'll plant a seed—I reach out to others.
I'll expect a miracle—I'm getting what I need.
That's really how I got into Seed-Faith, to move my own mountain of need. I had
to plant a seed out of that need—a seed to match my need. Then God said, "If
you're really looking to Me as your Source, don't worry about mountains.
Just be sure to plant the seed and I'll move the mountain."
The seed will have in it the nature of an expanding force that breaks the
mountain up and reduces it to a size you can deal with.
Talk about mountains being moved! It also included the hills that stood before
me! I found I could face seriously ill people and give them a hope for God's
healing. I found I could build a university, starting with nothing, even when the
experts said it could not be done and I did it anyway, through God.
I have found I could go on nationwide television in prime time at a time when I
was at the lowest of finances and when I thought my ministry was coming to a
close.
What else would I find?
I found we were getting through to people. I found I could deal with a person
with the most terrible problems you can imagine: sickness, spiritual, material,
family, mental—you name it—and bring them into a position to receive a
miracle.
I found I could combine God's healing instruments of prayer and medicine when
everyone said it was not possible. I was even able to build a medical school that
turns out not only skilled physicians, but also physicians who are filled with
God's love for people.
What else have I found?
I have found I could face the stress and the anxiety of doing all these things and
at the same time live in better health. I have even received a major healing
within my own body by applying the principles of Seed-Faith—that is, giving
and giving first.
Next, I found I couldn't wait to share these things with you. I wanted to put my
arms around you and say, "You can have better health. You can have success,
and you can have it NOW."
That's when I got the idea to write this book, for I knew it wasn't enough to say,
"You can have it." I knew I had to tell you how to have it.
God inside me is saying to you, "I know that I know that I know that I know that
you can get your mountains to move.
You can have the very desires of your heart. You can have success and get into
miracle-living."
If you are ready, let's go!

Step Number ONE
You will be in great position to have health and success if your relationship
with God your Source is right.
