I’ve been attending True Light Ministries for almost two years now, and in that time God has recreated me and my family. Though the Lord has worked many miracles and deliverances in our family over these few short months, the greater miracle I cannot deny is the true conversion of my soul. I have considered myself a Christian my whole life…raised in the church by God-fearing parents. And yet, I didn’t know Jesus. In all that time of attending church and “doing” my religion, I never gained a full understanding of who Christ is, much less developed an interactive and meaningful relationship with my God.

Seemingly endless factors played a part in my spiritual failure (including a healthy portion of rebellion on my part) and yet I thought I was fine and right with God. I turned a blind eye to how closely my life resembled the lives of the blatantly unsaved around me. God in His mercy pulled me up out of the pit I truly was in and He helped me see that my commitment to my relationship with Christ resembled a twig house built on sand. I realize now that I was, to use Patrick Morley’s words, a “Cultural Christian.” I mixed cultural norms into my faith and thought nothing of it. The problem is, a little leaven leavens the whole loaf, and the worldly standards I accepted in my lifestyle contaminated my faith and weakened it to the point that I was powerless to fight against a major attack from Satan. The Bible teaches us that sin weakens the hedge of protection God places around us: “He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him” (Ecclesiastes 10:8).

And powerless is exactly how I found myself when I darkened the door of TLM for the first time (though I had visited the church a few years prior). It was a Sunday morning and I was at death’s door (as many people seem to be when they come to True Light for the first time), fresh out of the ER from the Friday night before. Satan had attacked my heart, and I almost died. But God is merciful and He used my weakened physical state to strengthen my spiritual man.

Through the teachings and leadership at TLM the Holy Spirit began rebuilding my foundation on the rock of Jesus Christ—and I have watched in awe as I have truly changed from the inside out. It’s been an interesting start to a journey that I pray will never end. Miraculously, I didn’t try to change, and yet it happened. He changed me—God’s precious Spirit. The worldly things that never used to bother me grieve my spirit today. I can see now where all the “Church” rules come from that, in my youth, seemed (to me) to stifle people and make them feel unaccepted in the church unless they “cleaned up” their lifestyle. These “rules” must come from people who totally surrendered to God and were transformed by His Spirit and then they turned around and tried to force their heart-changes onto others who had not yet experienced the same process of sanctification. We can do nothing to set ourselves free…it is Christ’s Spirit working in us that sets us free!

When I fully surrendered to the Holy Spirit and asked Him to transform me into the image of Jesus, He began stripping away my desire for and acceptance of things that I didn’t realize were separating me from a deeper walk with God—things that, in His eyes, blended me in with the rest of the world. Before I knew what hit me I found I couldn’t wear half of my old wardrobe to church; the thought of standing at the altar and pouring my heart out to the Lord in some of my outfits made me shudder. Of course God would accept me “as is”…but He was changing me and teaching me what pleases Him—and some of my old “norms” had to go. This is just one small example pulled from a mountain of proofs. The beautiful part is that the change I experienced was effortless; meaning it didn’t come from me. I’m the kind of person that if you tell me not to wear something or not to indulge in something, I’ll do it just to irk you and make sure you know you don’t control me. So this change was coming from somewhere else—and it amazed me! What happened? I still am awed by the influence of the Spirit in my life now. I tested it out with an old movie that I used to love to watch. It’s a harmless comedy—centered on drug addiction (nice, right?)—and it always made me laugh. I put the movie on a while back and after about twenty minutes I couldn’t watch it. I was uncomfortable; it wasn’t funny this time around; and I literally felt sick to my stomach. I had to shut it off. Physically sick? I can’t fake that. It was the convicting power of the Holy Spirit reminding me to be careful what I set before my eyes.

Since I made TLM my home church and have followed the teachings there, I have proof in myself that the Lord is working in my life. This has not been a painless process—Satan has instigated full-on attacks against me and my family and we have suffered physically and emotionally. I have also silently watched as many of my friends and family have pulled away from me into the shadows and background of my life. They see the changes in me now too, and many of them, I believe, are not sure what to think—so they stay away. I think of how David must have felt when he wrote these words: “Because of all my enemies, I am the utter contempt of my neighbors; I am a dread to my friends—those who see me on the street flee from me. I am forgotten by them as though I were dead; I have become like broken pottery” (Psalm 31:11–12).

To be abandoned by loved ones and friends is considered disastrous by most people’s standards, but for me it is all the more reason to rejoice! It is proof that I have changed. It is proof that God’s anointing is upon my life and that He’s using me to influence others for His glory. I have His peace. I have the contentment of knowing for certain that I am running the race and I’m contending for the prize—no longer am I sitting on the sidelines while the battle rages on. I have stepped into the fight; I’ve accepted the call to be a part of the “chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9). By doing so I’ve been awakened to the reality of spiritual warfare and the fury of Satan, our accuser, toward God’s saints. When we are willing to surrender to the Lord and become a slave of Jesus Christ, Satan zeroes in on us and focuses his efforts on destroying us. The Bible tells us to “be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). He’s not seeking after his own—he already has them under his thumb. This verse is referring specifically to the blood-bought saints—the Christ-centered warriors who are sacrificing life in this world to bring glory to Jesus Christ. I pray now that the Lord keeps me under the shadow of His wings that He keeps me from the fowler’s snare. Father God, let me never again fall back into Cultural Christianity. Keep me set apart; a drastic and offensive contrast to this wicked world—ever moving forward on the path toward Your marvelous light.

Other miracles in my family resulting from prayer at True Light Ministries:

I was scheduled for heart surgery and one week before the procedure was to take place my insurance refused to pay for the surgery. My husband and I took a step of faith and went forward with the procedure (after months of prayer, we knew this procedure was God’s will). Though we were risking being hit with $100K worth of medical bills we decided to trust God to defeat Satan’s attack against us. During my surgery my husband was called down to the hospital’s offices to pay a $20K down payment on my surgery. He talked them down to $10K, swallowed hard, and wrote the check. The very next morning, while I was recovering in the hospital bed, the insurance company called and said they put my case through another director and the procedure was approved for full coverage. Over the next six months the Lord led us through battling for this coverage—Satan was still trying to steal our miracle. I prayed daily for six months for our $10K check to be returned as well. God is faithful and one Saturday morning, out of the blue, I opened yet another “medical” envelope and found my refunded check! As of today, all medical bills related to this surgery have been paid in full. Greater is He that is in us than he that is in this world!
A loved one was totally delivered from alcoholism and has kept it. The smell of alcohol makes this person sick. They say it smells like rotting flesh to them now. This is someone who drank every day—all day. God mercifully delivered them during a Thursday night prayer session at TLM. By Friday morning they were clean and sober without having to go through withdrawal symptoms or any sickness. They haven’t even had to struggle with temptation. The Lord completely erased all desire for alcohol from their mind, will, emotions, and physical system.
My cousin’s newborn baby was suffering from lung problems and was totally healed. The child was in intensive care in a hospital in Texas. We prayed on a Thursday night for the child and the baby was home and doing well a few days later.
My 2-year-old son was suffering from 104-degree fever for four days. The fever would not break, even with medicine. The doctors offered no solution other than Motrin and Tylenol. We brought him for prayer on a Thursday night and around 1am Friday morning I heard him screaming in his room because he was drenched with sweat—the fever had finally broken. He was perfectly well by morning.
My four-year-old son was suffering from violent nightmares that would hit every night at 10pm. After consistent prayer in the TLM prayer line and having him sleep with anointed handkerchiefs the nightmares have disappeared.
My husband suffered from unexplained abdominal pain for over ten years. He went to every specialist imaginable—even spent time at Mayo Clinic for testing—and no one could figure out what was causing the pain. Dot and Ricky Roberts prayed for him throughout these long years and today he is completely set free from the debilitating pain.
My husband also had a rare condition where his jaw bone was growing up through the gums, causing excruciating pain. Sharp bits of bone would break through the gums and crack off in bits and pieces. The dentist said there is nothing he could do—just live with it. My husband went for prayer on a Thursday night and the condition ceased. No more bone fragments—no more pain. Praise God!
My husband was suffering from tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Doctors said there is no cure and that he would just have to get used to the ringing. There are reports of people actually going insane from this condition. He came to TLM for prayer on a Thursday night and the ringing completely stopped. No problems since.
I had a painful lump in my left breast—came for prayer at TLM and then went for a mammogram. No lump could be found.
My father-in-law was suffering from a back injury. He came for prayer at TLM on a Sunday morning and the back pain was completely gone by the next morning. He had been to the doctor and gone through physical therapy—nothing was helping the pain. God delivered him through His great mercy!
When we first began attending TLM my small children were afraid of the prayer services. They didn’t know how to handle all they were feeling as the presence of the Holy Spirit would flood the sanctuary. I prayed diligently that God would calm their fears and that they would someday be comfortable enough to come down for prayer. The Bible says that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Psalm 111:10). Today all three of my children are at peace in TLM’s sanctuary and they look forward to Pastor Ricky praying for them. I remember one Thursday night I was blown away as my daughter sat on the second row, coloring a little picture, while a demon was being cast out of woman five feet in front of her. My daughter was in total peace; she didn’t even look up. God has transformed my babies over the past two years. Discipline problems have lessened and honest discussions about Jesus and our faith abound on a daily basis in our home. My children are hungry for more of the Lord. They have some spiritual wisdom that I didn’t acquire until I was an adult. They pray in the name of Jesus and trust God for the things they need. When a prayer doesn’t get answered, they respond, “Well, it must not have been God’s will. We need to make sure we pray God’s will next time!” They have a love for Jesus that inspires me to cling more and more to our Father in heaven. I know that He is keeping all of us under the shadow of His wings.

Pastor prayed for successful mouth surgery and for a quick healing. Follow up appointment showed excellent healing-Dr. couldn’t tell where he had done the surgery without checking the chart.

Sue Reade

Dear True Light Ministries;

I am writing to report that twice within two weeks, (2/14/08-2/22/08), I personally received a miraculous Word and a healing at True Light Ministries in Jacksonville, FL. These gifts came from the Lord through Dr. Roberts and Sister Dot. The prophetuc words were by Dr. Ricky and said, " Islam, ..Islam.. I hear the word Islam. Is this a group? I believe this is a group. I beleive they are in danger. I don't think they know that they are all in danger. Can you get in touch with them?" What the Prophet did not know was this. My team leader was in Africa with a small group of women & children. I had only asked him to pray for a pastor in Africa. He then got the above words. As Intercessors, three of us had seen a danger for the pastor but we thought it was an african disease. We thought he needed to come home and see an American doctor. This was not true. The entire picture changed at the Words of the Prophet. I immediately called Africa and spoke to Pastor Louis. After telling him the Words of the Lord, he told me something that he had never told the Intercessors. He said, "We are renting an apartment within a compound where there is set up a "Muslim Altar". My team has converted one of the Muslim women who live here. She has a brother who is very angry with us." Well, I just screamed and we began to bind and loose and pray protection over them and this is what Dr. Roberts had done in his meeting. Presently, they are making plans to return home to the USA . They will return to different living quarters in Ghana in the future. We are all grateful to the Lord and his servant for His unexpected words to the team.

Next report...
The next Thursday night and Friday visits to True Light Ministries brought to me a much needed healing. I ,as well I suspect,as the entire body of Christ, have been under attack from the enemy and all enemies of Jesus. My personal attacks have been from various infirmnities. All are understood by me to be a lie but I have been unable to fight the battles on my own. I enlisted the help of Sister Dot and Dianne on that Friday. I had bronchitis, flu and a serious lung congestion on Feb. 22. After Sister Dot prayed for me she said that when I awoke on Saturday morning all the congestion would be gone. I thanked them, went home and went to bed. When I woke up on Saturday morning I was amazed to realize that all the congestion in my chest had indeed, all cleared up!! Praise the Lord for the true Believers and Servants at True Light Ministries in Jacksonville, FL. Again I am, Yours truly, Carol Porter who am now visiting in FL.

Greetings Dot and Ricky,

Diana and I pray for you daily. If you have a specific request, please let
us know. I just looked at your web site and it is very impressive. I liked the
visuals and the ease of navigating around. I will come back and spend more
time.
I also wanted you to know that my shoulder is about 90/95% healed. I really
appreciate your prayers and the prayers of your church. Let us know if you
are ever in God's country and it would be our pleasure to have you stay with
us. We move fast up here, especially when the morning temperature is -18
and the wind-chill is much lower.

Love in Christ, Harry Evert

Arrived at Ft Sam Houston in San Antonio, TX on Tuesday morning
(22-Jan-2008) to receive treatment for the burns.

I want to thank you and everyone for their prayers for my nephew, Donnie. He is now at home with his wife and receiving outpatient treatment for the burns. He is doing well, still feels a bit “beat up” and still in pain from the burns and back, but spirits are good. I am going to speak to him and his mother to request their own testimony in regards to this miraculous blessing/healing from God. I know that she (his mother) has been praising God daily and spreading the news of her son’s miracle to everyone that will listen.
On another note, Donnie had no idea as to the request made by my son or the prayer on that Thursday night. When his mother told him the story last week she said it brought him to tears. He could not believe that his cousin loved him so much as to “keep his own sickness to save his cousin”. He couldn’t get over the fact that God would do this for him…heal him like he did. That there were people left in this world like you and your ministry out there still working for God in the ways you guys are. I think he gets it now.
His mother told him that once he is well enough to come back to Jacksonville, I wanted him to join us one Thursday night at True Light. She told him that I wanted everyone to see our family’s miracle. He, of course, agreed. So, as soon as he is here, I will let you guys know that we are coming.
Again, thank you. It is so seldom that we open our eyes and faith to see the miracles that God has for us, to accept them….to “take” them. I feel so blessed as to have been able to open my eyes, stand fast in my faith and take this miracle for my family. And I feel even more blessed that I have a nephew that is a walking and talking testament to what God can and will do for us and that I have been blessed with the opportunity to not only tell everyone, but show everyone that God is truly an awesome God!!!

I have good news. Again, for a year that I have been prisoned by my fear of having HIV or Hepatitis I collected my results and God kept his promises not to fear on anything but praise Him for He did not abandon us. Yes, God is true to His promises and I thank God for giving us a second chance. I have overcome the fear of having tested of HIV or hepatitis because of the word of God. Jesus said in Luke 8:50 "Do not be afraid but only believe and we are healed" I collected my results and before going to the laboratory, I thank the Lord for giving me a negative result and and He did. He gave me a negative result. I am praising God and I know that what I have experienced from this darkness is just a warning from God and I will say to God that I will never ever commit mistakes again. Thank you Jesus bacause of the stripes from your suffering we are healed. Thank you to all of you who joined me in praying. God is really really good.

Sis Dot,

I had a good night sleep last night. There was no pain. I am still claiming my healing and I will be receiving my healing. That was such a sweet service last night. Continue to remember me in yours prayers and I will continue to pray for your work you are doing for Our Good God. I am sending you a pray request. It came on my hot mail account. In God we Trust and Have a Blest Day. Gloria

TWO WEEKS AGO I ASKED BROTHER RICKY TO PRAY ABOUT THE CHEST PAINS I HAVE BEEN HAVING. AS HE PRAYED THE PAINS WENT AWAY. OF COURSE AS SOON AS I LEFT THE CHURCH MEETING SATAN STARTED BRINGING THEM BACK ON ME. I EXPECTED THIS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE HE DOES IT EVERY TIME GOD HAS HEALED ME THROUGH BROTHER RICKY. I DID AS I ALWAYS DO, I REPEATED THE BINDING PRAYER EVERY TIME THE PAIN STARTED AGAIN AND AFTER ABOUT FORTY TIMES SATAN GAVE UP! HE CANNOT STAND UP TO THE POWER OF GOD AND A PERSON BINDING THEIR HEALING. I THANK GOD FOR DOT AND RICKY ROBERTS, AND I THANK THEM FOR STAND ON GODS WORD AND FOR THEIR MINISTRY. GOD STILL WORKS TODAY JUST AS HE DID 2000 YEARS AGO.

Christia, my mother, fell and broke her hip. She suffered a heart attack before she was discovered. The x-rays revealed she has a very enlarged heart and blood work shows diabetes. The doctors will not operate to repair/set the hip because of the heart condition. I know prayer will cause signs, wonders and miracles to happen. Please help me pray for a new heart, a new pancreas, a new hip and her mind filled with peace and restored from depression, panic, hallucinations and disorientation. Many thanks.
Forgive my intrusion but out of desperation I am calling upon all who may be so inclined to respond to such as this. God knows who we are and counts the hairs on our head. We pray with our brothers for their needs and believe God for the rest. Thank you for your reply and your prayers. I know that the Lord blesses all those who pray for others with healing and prosperity. I appreciate your taking time out of your busy day to do so. My mom has been given a short time by her caretakers and I am doing all that I can to stand in the gap for her. My mom is believer and we have prayed together for other things and have seen the miracles come into fruition before our very eyes, so we are believing for a miraculous deliverance here as well. Thanks again, Kind and Grateful Regards, Bill
Thank you for your reply and your prayers. My mom is experiencing chest pain today and is confused emotionally. She always wants to talk to me because I encourage her. I have 4 sisters who all nurses and they are not helping with this prayer effort. If anything they are helping her to deteriorate by their pushing her to accept what are trained to think of as the inevitable. I am spearheading this pray vigil by my self. My mom is a believer also but she is drugged so heavily, she has no thoughts of her own when she is awake and the rest of the time she is sleeping. While awake today, she said she was having chest pain so my sisters offer no consolace and that is why I am turning to all the believing brothers and sisters in Christ to help me get through this valley to the other side with my mom in tact. Again thank you so much for your prayers. They are so welcome and needed. Kindest Regards, Bill
For the past few months, I have been in the middle of a battle for my mothers' life. I have 4 sisters who are nurses and are not helping me with insuring moms hope for any future. As I have experienced with my fathers care and passing 3 years ago, the Nurses intellect seem to be ingrained with the preconception that the DR’s word is the ultimate and the last. So I am trying with all that I have to pray and encourage her each day I call, since that is all she has for any hope. I talked with her this morning and she is much brighter on the phone and very responsive, a mental posture I have not seen from her for weeks, a testament I can only attribute to all your prayers on her behalf. She was actually alert and responding to my questions and not constantly moaning from pain. She has been in a lot of chest pain because of the enlarged heart and side pain from the broken hip. But today she was happy, free and clear and sounding so good. Praise God. God IS working a miracle for her. When she was told about your prayers for her, she was very moved and taken with tears of happiness. I am now preparing to make a third trip to see her again expecting to find her in even better spirits because I know you are continually praying for us both. Grateful and Kindest Regards, Bill PS - I really appreciate your diligence in prayer. It helps so much to know we are not in this battle alone.
This update is brought with great happiness and joy of anticipation for the recovery my mom is experiencing. As I tell her about your prayers and concerns about her recovery and that you are expecting her to be completely restored, she is so full of relief and when I read her your prayers that you have written for her she laughs and cries with joy. She is receiving your words of prayer as great encouragement, support and belief that there really is a future with a hope in Christ Jesus and she is seeing it come to pass in front of her at this moment. I want to thank you so much for all your prayers. My mom is sounding better on the phone each day. She is alert and responsive to all my questions. Her hearing seems to be improving, as she is not requiring me to repeat as much. I don't know what the status of her heart, her hip or her pancreas is, since my sisters are not bothering to have that checked but I know that she is gaining ground fast by how much she has gained mentally and emotionally this past week. When I was there, I saw the oppressive atmosphere in that nursing home. She looked so alone and lost with out hope. She is living in the middle of many people who are completely without mental awareness. She has no one to make friends with, no one to talk to except my sister when she comes to visit her, maybe once a day. She has a lot of time to think about many things but I assure her and keep telling her to praise the Lord for her recovery at the beginning of each new day and to not accept anything less than total healing and restoration. She does not to accept or be concerned about the doctors and the nurse's statements of doom and gloom over her condition. We all have prayed and agreed together with the Lord for complete restoration, so that is all we a re going to accept. Most Grateful and Kindest Regards, Bill I will send more updates.

UpDate 7 I really appreciate your continued prayers. It is so obvious they are having a powerful effect. I call my mom daily and talk to her to encourage her. With each day she is more alert and more responsive. When she first fell and broke her hip, she was heavily sedated and she was not responding at all to any telephone conversation. Even when I went to see her she was still very slow to respond. But now, she is talking and responding appropriately to all my questions which is so encouraging to me. I know she is feeling much better and she is not filled with pain in her hip or her chest. The only roadblock is getting medical updates as to her condition. But until that happens, I will continue to pray and press in for her full recovery. Things are really looking good and I really appreciate all your time, devotion and effort with the intercession. I know it is working. I can see it working. Much Grateful and kindest Regards, Bill I will keep the updates coming … thanks again.
Mothers Day I want to express my most sincere thanks to you for all your prayers. My mom is doing better and better all the time. My sisters are confused as to why she is better. But you and I know why, even in the midst of all that doom and gloom in that nursing home, she is getting better inspite of it all. I really am so appreciative of all your time, effort and perseverance. It is really paying off and I am expecting her to continue to get better and better. Thank you so very much, Bill. I will continue to pray that she will have complete and total recovery as I pray also for you and your ministry.
As you can see from these updates, my mom is making significant progress. I thank you so much, for you have sacrificed your time and effort and been a trendous help to my mom and I. I give God the Father all the praise and glory, for HE is the reason it is all possible.

Brother Ricky,
I have a testimonial about something that happened to me at at younger age that I to this day still have the question before God, Why? Why? did he return me. When I was 20 years old I was married. One night my wife at the time was very angry with me when I returned home. With anger in her heart and alcohol in body she stabbed me in my throat and and chest with a switchblade. My throat to the hilt of the switchblade.
As I laying dying in a friends arms I suddenly felt a beautiful cozy warmth. As I told my friend I was tired and I was going to sleep she begged me not to as I slipped away.
I was in a dark void, no sides, no top, no bottom. I could not see my physical being, now I know it was my soul which was there.
A BEAUTIFUL, CHARISMATIC BRIGHT LIGHT! off in the distance started coming
towards me. Getting bigger and brighter. I spoke out and said, "God
please! don't take me I haven't seen enough yet! The light receded, I awoke in my friends arms, the parametics entered the house. I allways thought my request to the Lord was so selfish, why? did he return me back to my earthly state? I recently have given my life over completely to God. I am going through some difficult times right now. However, when I fellowship with others,
when I pray to God, I am just so full of JOY! Thanks to your ministry! Praise God for working through you! Praise God for your Annointing!

Ricky..I forgot to tell you my back was healed when you prayed for me .It has not hurt since that moment.Praise God !!! Thank you ..Gary

I just wanted to send a general email thanking you guys for being so obedient & faithful to God & allowing God to work such a wonderful ministry through you. I have been completely amazed to see the power of God manifested in ways i have not been acustomed to at my home church (or anywhere else for that matter). It has been such a blessing to see my step-mom healed of 6 years of pain & suffering due to the 4 ruptured discs in her neck (now completely healed!) And not only that, now she is now on fire for God, driving 1 1/2 hrs EVERY week to come to your church each Thursday (never attended church in the past), & in about 5 weeks has already received the gift of tongues! Praise God! That healing miracle has also sparked friends of mine from Celebration Church to come to your ministry. Many came with some skepticism, but after attending & truly being touched by the Holy Spirit in some way, they are all convinced that your ministry is truly of God. While i love my home church & do not feel God calling me to leave, i am SO blessed to have your ministry available on Thursdays & look forward to becoming more involved in the future (if its God's will for me to do so). I want to be able to give back to a ministry that has been SOOOO helpful to other & myself.
God is good!

Dear Miss Dot and Pastor Ricky,
I have a very close near and dear friend who is in the middle of divorce procedings from her husband there is a child involved and she has an older son who is from another marriage who is so disappointed in his mother.
Please pray for the restoration of this marriage, pray for her husband to seek the truth of God's word, please pray for the man that has now entered her life to be removed from her heart and mind. And whatever else that God directs you to pray.
I'm praying as well and have been for awhile now.
Thank you so much for your time and your awesome ministry.
God Bless!

PS I am the one awhile back ask you to pray for a friend of mine to receive a car. Last Thursday you mentioned being in need of a car and to claim it, I claimed it for my friend. On Friday I came home from work to hear that my friend had called and she is receiving a car!!! For Free!!! Praise God!!!!

On Thursday night, you asked if I would write something about what the ministry has meant to me.....Gladly! Since you indicated that you only have a small space for this in the newsletter, I will be brief....(and I can be a very wordy writer!) I could tell you a story about how I came to be a searcher for the truth, but let me just say, thats all that I will accept from a ministry. I am not any kind of scholar, but I do love the WORD, and have studied on my own quite a bit. I am very attuned to ignorance, lies, false teachings etc.... and, I do not want my "ears tickled". I need truth. At True Light Ministries, I hear the truth of God taught. Not only does Dr. Ricky teach the truth, but he is so gentle with the people. It is so obvious that he loves us all, every single one who walks in that door. It is God's love that dwells in him, and which was in him even as a retarded student before his healing. The teachers used him as a babysitter in class, and in high school after being healed, he was helping the other students. He is gentle when he teaches and when he prays for people. No one could ever be offended or feel threatened, and I think it is for that very reason, people who have big problems, like witches, or homosexuals are willing to come to him for prayer and deliverance.
I have certainly been blessed by the teachings, the love of the staff, and by personal "Words" from God during prayer time. I get the annointed prayer hankerchiefs, carry one on my person and sleep with one under my pillow. I have given several to people in need; this is very exciting to realize God can use me for something! I just get more hankies and wait for the next assignment! I love to buy the CD's of past teachings and listen to them over and over again. We do not get to come to the service as much as I would like, since we live in the Ocala area. It takes about 1-1/2 to 2 hours to get to the church in Jacksonville, so for the Thursday evening service, we have to leave Ocala by 4:30, then we get home after 1:00. If I had my choice, I would not walk out of the service until the last person had been prayed for; who knows what time I would finally get home! But there is a lot to learn as Ricky prays for other people, he is teaching even during that time, and sometimes will stop and give a word for the "church". The prayers and words from God have given me hope and encouragement. One time I was delivered from something that caused me a lot of pain in my upper back. A few days after prayer, I realized it was entirely gone! Praise God for his abundant love and mercy!
I am tired of churches that have no "meat". I do not have the patience to go to a service just to say I went to church, then go home feeling flat or empty or dissappointed. I'd better get something out of it, or I am waisting my time. There is "meat" at TLM, and God's almighty power and abundant love is demonstrated. Yes, I will make a 5 hour drive for this! This is not the Sunday morning "Social Club"!
I was going to write more, but its already too long......Miss Dot, you can edit this in any way you wish for the news letter (or anything else).

Within the last two weeks, between December 2007 and January 2008, my family received a great healing, which in itself must be a miracle. A member of my family, a child, was suffering from Leukemia. I had Dr. Ricky Roberts pray over a handkerchief, and we immediately sent it to where my family live. They placed it upon the child, and within days the leukemia disappeared. The doctors are dumpfounded to say the least. Praise God.

In 2007, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. According to the Doctors, the only hope was surgery or radiation. I was prayed for by Dr. Ricky Roberts and his staff and I was instantensously healed. There is no more prostrate cancer.

On January 13th, 2008, I was greatly suffering from kidney stones. I knew that I would have to go to the doctor if God did not move. I knew also that I would probably go into surgery. I went to the service held in Douglas Ga. The power of God came upon me and I received total and complete recovery from my kindney stones. In other words, the stones disappeared and my pain also went away. Thank God.
