“It is dangerous to put a new age occultist in a position like that of surgeon general. A growing number of Christian and conservative influencers, particularly among moms, cannot see what is staring them in the face—behind all the jargon and medical language is a foundational system premised in pagan occult practices that Scripture warns against.”
(Erick Erickson) When my father and his brother, Lief, were children, their mother took them to see Oral Roberts. My father, who spoke Swedish at home and English at school, had a terrible speech impediment. My Uncle Lief had stabbed himself in his eye, losing his vision, as a child. My Swedish grandmother, like so many mothers today searching for cures for themselves and their children, believed by faith that Oral Roberts would heal them.
As my father tells the story, he and my uncle were summoned to the stage. Roberts asked my father to say his name. “Oral Roberts,” my father said. Roberts slapped him in the head, knocking him back into the arms of an assistant, as Roberts screamed “HEALED!” Then my uncle approached. “What color is my tie?” Roberts asked. “Red.” “HEALED!” My father had a speech impediment but could talk. My uncle had one working eye. My grandmother was convinced Roberts had performed a miracle but would take the boys back for more healing anytime Roberts went through Miami.
