[The televised healings] seemed wonderous, but it was routine to the ardent followers of Oral Roberts (1918 – 2009). These disciples tell of cripples who throw away their crutches and walk – or even run – when he prays for them; of men and women with broken necks who take off their braces at his touch; of victims of cancer , epilepsy and polio who marvelously recover through faith in God and contact with ‘Brother Roberts’ – God’s man for this hour: Reverend Oral Roberts of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
“I am not a healer, I have no power to heal anyone; I am only an instrument in the hands of God. When God gives me the power, I can transmit His healing to those who have faith.”
