-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Lester Roloff was born on June 28, 1914, to Christian parents in Dawson, Texas. Raised on a farm, he learned the value of hard work at a young age. In his early teens he was saved and later committed his life to becoming a preacher. He knew he needed an education and set his sights on attending Baylor University in Waco, Texas. To help pay for his expenses, he took a family cow to Waco and milked it daily in return for room and board.

In 1935, he met Marie Brady at the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, during a State Training Union Convention. They were married on August 10, 1936. Early in their marriage, Lester pastored small town churches and preached as an evangelist during revival meetings. On June 20, 1937, Lester and Marie were blessed with a baby daughter, Elizabeth Ann. After Lester's graduation from Baylor, the family moved to Fort Worth, Texas, so that he could attend Southwestern Seminary. During seminary he served as pastor of First Baptist Church in Trinidad, Texas. During World War II, the Roloff family moved to Houston, Texas, where Brother Roloff became pastor of Magnolia Park Baptist Church.

In 1940, Brother Roloff accepted the call of Park Avenue Baptist Church in Corpus Christi, Texas to become their pastor. Park Avenue Baptist, later known as Second Baptist Church, flourished during the time Lester was pastor. While serving at Park Avenue, Brother Roloff became a sought after preacher for revival meetings and evangelistic services. And, in 1944, the Roloff family grew to include an adopted daughter, Pamela Kay.

Faith, Fasting & Food

As a young preacher and father, Brother Roloff continued to battle chronic health problems. He searched for answers and in his thirties made "discoveries that completely altered his health." As Marie Brady Roloff wrote in her book entitled "Lester Roloff -- Living by Faith," Lester believed,

"there were three 'F's, which if followed, could revolutionize one's life.

The first 'F' --faith- was well known by his radio audience and those who heard him preach. Over and over through the years he has said, 'Now the just shall live by faith,' and he has practiced it. ...

There was a second 'F' he found in the Bible that he began to practice. It became a tremendous truth that he could not neglect. Jesus said, 'Then shall they fast' (Mark 2:20; Luke 5:35). ... When the truth of this got hold of Lester, like any other Bible truth that became real to him, he grabbed onto it and didn't let go. 'Fasting isn't an ordinance or a church doctrine,' he said, 'but just plain Bible truth and is a practice between the individual and the Lord. Like other great truths, it has been abused and misused and therefore has come into bad repute. But why should we leave out a practice that has such a prominent place in the Scripture?' ....

Lester came to some practical conclusions regarding the third 'F' --food. He became convinced that four things are killing the American people- too much food, bad food, wrong combinations of food, and anxiety and worry, which stem from an absence of faith, trust, and wisdom from God."

He recommended that foods be consumed in their natural state as much as possible and also encouraged exercise. He said, "you'd be surprised to know what a brisk walk of at least a mile every day with the proper breathing will do for you." Truly, Brother Roloff was ahead of his time as evidenced by the increased emphasis in today's world on proper eating and exercise.

Great man of God and I know he had his heart in the right place and a backbone of steel. But his stubbornness took him too far and he and his ministry kept having to bail him out of jail because he refused to get a license for his homes (probably as an excuse for them to do what they wanted, LOL)

And I might add: Jesus was a hippie himself. Wore a robe, had long hair, the straitlaced Pharisees hated him, believed in giving away your goods to the poor, and anything else socialistic in nature

[OldPathPreachingTV]

First of all, how do you know Jesus had long hair? Second, yes...give to the poor, not to the lazy who want to live off the work of others. In 2 Thess. 3:10-12 the Bible clearly states: "For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all. Now those who are such we command through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work and eat THEIR OWN bread"

[teabag8855]

I herd this great man of God preach many times over. Oh Lord Jesus America needs some more old fashion Preachers like Him.

[bloodyswordisa63]

Lester Roloff, as always, right on target

[MrJimthebaptist]

Ole Lester's preaching would not be allowed in 99% of the churches in this Laodicean church age.

But then again, niether would the preaching of Paul, Peter, John the Baptist nor Jesus for that matter!!

[haroldoverturf]

if he offends you he must be doing something rite with that rite wing comment!

[Ampifier1994]

Yet another right wing fruit cake.

[wardco991]

@wakawl amen

[AkiraBrahe]

@gravesr29 why? how can be a shame to use long hair?, first that is a personal decision and nobody should be questioned for that, second, on the Bible you can find the history of Samson and his very long hair for example and last but not least the importance of Jesus came from his teachings, his acts and (if you believe on it) its nature as son of God....so I don't give a shit about what you believe or not, as well as you surely dont care about my comment, so live an let live inquisitor wanabe

[gravesr29]

I do not think Jesus wore long hair. No where in the Bible does it say this. It is a shame for a man to have long hair....

[2Timothy4vs5]

@jondstewart

Jesus was a hippie? No friend He was not. You need to get your image of Christ from the bible and not some silly painting of a long haired blue eyed hippie Jesus.

And if you cannot understand why Lester Roloff refused licensing than you lack understanding and conviction in the Word of God and the freedom this once great country had.

@jondstewart Render unto Caesar what is Caesars but render unto God what is God's. If you stand with Caesar then what you own is Caesars, but if you stand with God what is your's is God's and under God's law.

Satan has supernatural command over every worldly establishment that does not belong to God In America Individuals are Caesar.

Every man is king in his own castle. If you will let Satan in the door of your own house what makes you think you will be given the keys to God's kingdom in Heaven?

[lostbuffalo]

@jondstewart What Jesus preached wasn't socialist. he didn't preach giving away your wealth to the state, he preached giving your wealth to the individuals in need and to the church.

Jesus didn't walk around knocking on doors and talking at people who didn't want to hear him.

Jesus didn't preach giving away your neighbors wealth in place of your own, and he didn't preach worldly punishment and deathly consequences if you refused the call to surrender your equity.

@ironhaas503 that is some of the most ignorant bullshit ive ever heard.
