The "Wake-Up Call" (MP3)

A Statement About Current Events:

Due to the recent controversy involving Oral Roberts University and the accusations against Richard Roberts as President of ORU, we need to make some clarifications. We do not believe this crisis has any bearing on the past ministry of Oral Roberts senior--who is the father of Richard Roberts. We do not necessarily agree with all the church doctrine that Oral Roberts, his family or the faculty of ORU teaches. On the Rock of Offence website, we include the recent vision of Oral Roberts senior concerning the return of Christ because we find no reason to doubt its authenticity.

Rock of Offence will continue to post articles that affect the overall Body of Christ even if we disagree with the author on other subjects. We need to recognize that our enemy, Satan, knows his time is short and is doing everything possible to discredit and stop Christ's Gospel. The recent controversy involving financial abuses in 3 mega-church ministries (whether the abuse is true or not) is yet another public scandal that moves our enemy closer to his goal of discrediting the message of the New Testament Church. We need to recognize the true purpose for these events and not allow our confidence in Christ to be destroyed. Our faith is never to be in ORU, Oral Roberts or any church organization or personal ministry. One clear teaching of Rock of Offence since its conception is that our faith must only be in Jesus Christ. "On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand--all other ground is sinking sand".

End Of Statement

On the subject of the ongoing debate about "the rapture of the Church", I've decided to post the testimony of Oral Roberts from the fall of 2004. His prophetic vision has been named "The Wake-up Call", which is actually a warning sent out to the Church about the Second Coming of Christ. Our Heavenly Father usually gives us a short period of time to prepare after giving such warnings. For this reason, it's far more urgent today than it was in 2004.

We are posting Oral Robert's vision for informational purposes and to issue the warning that it contains. Some leaders in the Body of Christ are saying the exact same thing. Yet, most have refused to warn their congregations about this soon to occur event. Again--the posting of this information on our website is not meant to suggest that we agree with everything Oral Roberts teaches.
