It was at that time that A.W. told Kenneth and Gloria about receiving an invitation to attend an Oral Roberts University partner seminar the following week in Tulsa, Okla. The invitation came with two extra tickets, which A.W. o€ered to them. Kenneth and Gloria quickly accepted. That invitation would change their lives and direction forever! They attended the five-day partner seminar. This is heaven! Kenneth thought. He didn't realize anyone could teach with such clarity. At the closing service, Brother Roberts told the people that he would be laying hands on them. Following that, either they could go home or have lunch in the cafeteria. Kenneth was in the line ahead of his parents and Gloria. After Brother Roberts laid hands on him, Kenneth sat down on the second row and waited for his family. The Anointing of God was very strong on that service and was sitting heavily on him as he waited.

He realized there was not a spiritually healthy by Pastor George Pearsons B V O V : 1 1 ORU student Kenneth Copeland learning the ministry of healing and deliverance personally from Oral Roberts. one in the bunch. They looked scrawny and sickly. Most of them had tiny necks on their bodies, and dried-up little sticks for limbs—like stick figures. They could hardly walk. And they all had great big heads that were about 3 feet in diameter. They were great big, grotesque-looking things. It literally broke his heart. He said he wept. He couldn't shut it o€. He wept and wept and wept crying, "Oh God, oh God, oh God!" He would look at those people for a little while, and then close his eyes. But every time he opened his eyes, there they were. "LORD," he said, "what is this?" He heard The LORD within him say, You are looking at the emaciated spirit beings of My people. Their heads have been educated at the expense of their spirit. They are spiritually hungry and are weak. If the physical body were that weak, it would die of starvation. But, a spirit cannot cease to exist. It just keeps getting weaker and weaker and weaker.
