Phil Roberts testimony

it could be the first time ever I just did that for the ladies because I know they're sitting on the edge of their chairs and oh I hope he blows those duck calls always maybe this guy's do not practice your duck calling inside the house there's something about a duck call that offends women's ears I was born of a woman like you that's how we all got here first booth that first birth gets us on the earth right that got you on the earth that second birth get you off the earth pretty cool the mother of all stories they look you think I'll look at me you say he's got his Bible he's a godly man eats has the pulpit look out he's a preacher y'all look like a preacher to you here's a newsflash you think I looked a little rough around the edges John the Baptist looked worse and he was paving the way for the savior of the world right God does work in mysterious ways before I became a child of God I owned d beer joint my little sister told one of the brothers at a congregation there in west monroe I'm up in Arkansas my little sister told that guy one of the brothers if you could convert my brother if you could convert him he would bring many many people to Jesus and she kept on after him and he says I'll going to how far is it 75 miles I don't know about going way up and there you know you know going to a beer joint is that where we're going do you have to go to the beer joint that's where he is finally she talks him into it so they come in and bellowing to me my little sister goes around to the front of the bar passing out tracks everybody's getting drunk you know in the world has a religious bible thumper doing in here they started getting a little hostile toward my sister so I had to go in and break that up the guy walks in she brought the preacher and the first thing I asked him was you some kind of preacher he said I am I said let me ask you something you ever been drunk he said I have I said so why are you up here telling me about getting drunk because you've been drunk just like I'm getting drunk right now all right to make a long story short that first meeting he walks outside and tells my little sister when they get in the car I don't think he's ready a year later I ran miski off and al was there I think Jace was to a little baby I ran him off uh-uh i was i was like getting high getting drunk and getting laid pretty well in that order i was a scumbag and a heathen what's amazing is a year after the initial meeting with the preacher my loving wife that I'd run officer why don't you talk to him just so we're pal ittle bit and talk to him so she talked me into it and he shared with me but I'm fixing to share with y'all to make a long story short I decided since I didn't even realize who Jesus was ah too busy smuggling dope and getting drunk get laid I'm thinking how did I miss that a couple of college degrees no they didn't say anything about God or Jesus when I was in college did the ature college never brought him up Father Son our Holy Spirit the only time I heard the word God mentioned when I was in college was they would use his name in vain so I decided having been a heathen for 28 years and i put on my brakes the preacher didn't have to tell me to repent I knew what repentance meant he didn't have to say feel look you can't go whoring around you know once you become a Christian oh let me explain you what repentance means feel all feel knew that and you know what all of you know that don't you you know what doing good is you know what love is joy peace patience kindness goodness gentleness faithfulness self-control we all know what that is so they didn't need a big long explanation I knew it was time and I was motivated by the gospel of Jesus and I said well I serve the evil one all this time now I'm fixing to serve God so I go from this way to about face and I'm going that way now and I'm was committed to God and made a pact with him i said i'll run wide open for you god as fast as i ran wide open for the devil for 28 years so now i've been at this for 2442 heathen 428 a son of God for the last 40 to trust me when I tell you this last 42 has been way better than the first 28 [Applause] the the rarest of commodities has come my way you said what is it feel what's the rarest of commodities what is it that came your way peace of mind finally got it Texas you're never going to have peace of mind without Jesus Christ ever it ain't going to happen fits of rage sexual immorality hatred discord factions envy jealousy you know the list of sins I gave you the list the fruit of the Spirit about five minutes ago now you're hearing the list of sins you want to keep that up they can boy laughs a turn one of these days I already know God no Bible tell me about it now all I work with is people who are getting high getting drunk and getting laid I'm dealing with them they sure will if you do understand what I'm going through was just trust me honey when I tell you I know exactly what you're going through I've been there I didn't realize it was such a trap until I got out of it I get out of the trap that the Satan had me in and I look back and I said what was I thinking the truth is I wasn't thinking so I've been delivered from Satan so now I went from getting high getting laid and getting drunk to being a son of God and now shark of shocks I'm rich and famous and you say there's no God haha you know something Texas the problem with Fame one it's a big headache too is Fame can't remove my sin or yours it can't do it and on top of that you said I feel you said you were rich it's not going to help me when it comes to being raised from the dead all the money in the world is never going to be able to raise me from the dead Texas right better keep first things first we have humanism and atheism and agnosticism and you know post-modernism and materialism ism ism ism ism ism ism it's all I heard in college this is embed ISM this isn't that isn't one day I finally said I think I'll write them all down look I feel love tablet after tablet after tablet isn't this isn't that ISM you know what they're all about they're all trying to get around this story right here and none of them have succeeded if there's no God Texas you're never getting off planet Earth alive all of you they're going to have your funeral and mine you can go yeah they're going to have my funeral one of these days and they're gonna have fields to you can go like that or you can say I like the guy told me one time you're not gonna put that on me you're not gonna tell me I'm gonna die I said oh you're gonna die he said no sir buddy he gets up he's in no way I wanted to tell him the good news about the resurrection of Jesus but he was saying I'm not gonna die so you go die so we're arguing about it whether it's gone I said well everybody else has and so are you dude live with it face it I argued with him for 30 minutes trying to convince him he was gonna die he left my house and ain't nobody telling me that kind of junk six weeks goes by and the guy that brought him he said you know the dude was arguing with you about Diane field I said I remember him he said he just did I said what happened to him he said he was knifed to death in a bar right up the road I just wonder when the blood spurting forth from him when he hit the ground hit the floor I wonder if he thought about our conversation God had spoken to him through me six weeks earlier no takers he said nope I will not die said he's the only human I've ever run up on I've run up on a lot of them said they didn't sin of course they were lying which is a sin but he was the only one I've ever run upon who said I'm not gonna die i said oh you're gonna die face it so all to you texas if in the beginning God did not creep create the heavens and the earth if that's not what happened you're not getting out here unless you have some information that I'm not privy to medical technology think that's gonna help you oh maybe you can go with Obamacare made that I help you with the grave it ain't go happy not going to live you from the grave no you're like so what's the scoop you have two problems you cannot fix you can't fix them one is you came out your mother I mean some that earlier you know what you are Center because you didn't know what the law said you didn't know what line was you're about two hours old you're in a little crib or you're at your mother's breast you say you don't know about Stephen is you don't know what getting high is getting drunk get laid you have no idea what that is you're an infant this stuff about poured water on your head like you remember that you sinful little book are you give me a break however however you were toddler good to go but when you hit them teenage years along in there somewhere something happened the commandments started coming and you did understand what you had from Adam what you inherited from him was the ability to know the difference between then you had the knowledge of good and evil remember what God told Adam don't know eat over there cuz if you do you eat of that tree you'll know what old not only what good is well what evil is you don't want to go there but if you do you're gonna die well every last one of us found out what evil was at some point right Texas some of you started being sexually immoral early early early so you violate one of God's command you say how many does it take just one and you've been dead in your sins ever since you used to be dead in your sins and transgressions in which you used to live for the saved here when you follow the ways of the world and you fall this ruler of the kingdom of the air the spirit who works in those who are disobedient you're like oh my goodness so when physical death comes along and you're already spiritually dead in your sins you're cut off forever eternally God's not like our government can't pay him off Kate rope-a-doping get around him you say God is just so for the saved here I'm like be thankful and you were blessed because your sins have been forgiven your sins are covered no sin will never ever be counted against you it'll give you peace of mind knowing on top of that you can be raised from the dead how did it happen what year is it Texas 2016 the man said walk it back 2015 2014 2013 2012 walk it back Texas you're going to get to year 1 something rather large must have happened in year 1 because we're all saying it's 2016 years since it happened what could have happened that your calendar is based on it you say well what do they call all the years before Jesus showed up that's one two three four five six six years since Jesus showed up seven eight you get to 2016 you say you call all the years before we got here all the years before he got here right you know why you're counting time by the creator of the cosmos has become a human being coming forth out of a woman's womb just like all of you same kind of birth the difference between this one and all of you he got to the early teenage years and he grew in wisdom and stature and he never made one mistake he never violated the law one hundred percent God one hundred percent human and he never made a mistake that's why this Bible says everyone who sins breaks the law that's you but not him in fact sin as long as this but you know that he appeared God becoming flesh if you could speak a cosmos into existence any word by faith we understand the universe was formed at God's command something like I'm a redneck something like do it through the cosmos there you're like and that God becomes one of us and walks on the cosmos one little bitty piece earth he's walking on it you talk about a story you know what you call that the mother of all arrivals the creator of the cosmos becomes a human being I've never heard of that you know why there's no one like Jesus Christ no one God becoming flesh the Creator the cosmos through him all things were credit he appeared to take away our sin and in him is no sin Jesus is rehab right you say I get in Jesus rehabilitation has come my way no doubt about it redemption has come your way holiness has come your way you have to stay in Jesus you have to walk as he did while you're on the earth you say and no sin can touch me no sin can never touch you under law you have to be perfect under grace you just trust God and try and when you stumble there's provision for your sin the blood of Jesus it'll give you peace of man it'll get your planet Earth elad cuz you're going don't be like that guy that's a willow I'm not gonna die okay you admitting you're gonna die uh all you Texans gonna die you can go like this or no I'm not gonna die are you gonna die yeah anybody said y'all have you ever seen you can go ahead where they yeah I've seen a few times now if you say I haven't seen he they're sending their lines he you say we're not getting out of here unless Jesus became place took a cross for your sins for God in flesh to love Phil Robertson being the scumbag that I was a scumbag I told you filthy language coming out of my mouth oh it was pathetic I didn't know any better dead in my sins the guy who wrote most of the new testament murderer we converted a guy because he was running dope across I ten african-american guy he was a brother he went to college in south Louisiana started running with the dope heads haul a load of dope across the great state of Texas the laws caught him his mama one of our sisters asked me to go down there and plead for mercy with the judge Huntsville Texas I said I'll do it so I drove down there on the day the old judge sentenced him and I got up and I made a plea for my brother who was fixing to be sent to prison please cut him some slack mr. Robertson you have any problem with him dealing with a drug dealer the state of Texas dispensing justice against a drug dealer I said have no problem of that I know what just as he is I'm asking for mercy judge he gave my brother none so 13 years later after they sentenced him I was there when they sin him up and Willie was there when he walked outside the prison gates you say y'all stuck with that brother every step of the way he walked out of prison Willie said was it worth it he said no it was not worth it not at all so 12 and a half 13 years he spent in prison I said Paul I said you come to my house you stay there no charge you live with me miss Kay do you get it on your feet he married a girl who was half black and half Latino we married him in my yard and the local rednecks were driving by launching their boat down the way and they were looking over there and they saw Mexicans blacks and rednecks eating eating cake and singing songs to God and the rednecks the rednecks of Rosa when I pulled I lost my boat I looked over and I saw all of that going home he said I knew right then that got to be a god they shoot me couldn't they all loving one another and sing songs of God thinking God old Paul was there after been in prison all em use you see what the family of God is like we are known for our love for one another God became flesh that on a cross for the sins of the world Jesus is his name three days later he solved your grave problem all of your problems have been solved God did ever better this you can't earn it you can't work for it it's all been done for you it's free [Applause] and the bottom line is you're not getting out of here without it don't kid yourself you arguing with your wife and cursing and caring on your like what about what about doing repent turn to God believe the gospel obey it they'll baptized in a few days the old you will disappear and the new you will come forth God will seal the deal now that you purified yourself by obeying the truth Peter said love one another deeply from the heart for you been born again I told you the first birth gets you here the second birth being born of god of water in the spirit will get you out of here which we got one shot look at our culture you telling me running with this bunch in America the cops are the problem we're the problem why don't we repent and turn to God and show our culture what real love is all about and our government and Hollywood and all the news media why don't we just get out there and show on what real love is Texas [Applause] I love you dearly the clock on the wall says three minutes and 49 seconds I'm going back to Monroe I've enjoyed must stay with you if there's no God we're done we are done if there is no god it's like Jim Carrey when he ran up on that little fox on them in that movie he said what do you think my chances are with you maybe one out of a thousand and the little fox said more like one out of a million and carries smiled and is so you're telling me there's a chance well we got one chance from my viewpoint to get out of here alive one thing's for sure you're not getting out of here alive you have no chance if you keep getting high getting drunk and getting laid or walling around and filth cover your mouth you'll probably die an early lie early death you say I have no shot to get out of here loud none I'm seeing how could they have dreamed this story up Jesus is at the right hand of the Father constantly cleansing us from any sin he's given us imperishable seed implanted that marks you for the resurrection I pray that you respond to that if you haven't father we love you we got one shot from my vantage to get out of here alive it's putting our faith in the death of your son on a cross back there 2,000 years ago in three days later raising him from the dead guaranteeing hours father you have told us plainly as in Adam all die that is a fact irregardless of that guy that challenge me on it but in Christ all would be made alive each in his own turn Christ the firstfruits and then when he comes all of us father for our loved ones who have gone on before us the saved they're still alive they're just separated from their body about now their bodies are in the cemetery but their spirits their souls are with you and Lord when you come back Jesus you're bringing them all back with you that's why you have told us father first Thessalonians 4 13 you told us we shouldn't grieve like the rest of me and who have no hope we believe Jesus died and rose again so we know father he's going to solve our grave problem when he comes back he comes back before we die he'll change us on the spot and we'll live forever thank you for that great hope help us grab ahold of it with both feet stand on it not budge on it and live happily ever after thank you Father in the name of Jesus amen [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] I was in powerful while I ask you to just bow your heads and close your eyes for a moment so ever person here and ever campus every overflow room I just I don't want you to leave please don't leave just let's all have just a personal moment with God so that's a reason I'm asking everyone close your eyes so you can have a personal moment with God right now I relate to film some of you've heard my testimony I was doing all those same things and got saved in a motel room it's because I gave control of my life to Jesus I'd like to ask you if you relate to fill maybe you didn't do the same things but you know you need to give your life to God oh you can do it right now right now in your seat and I'll help you what I'd like to do is just lead you in a short prayer where I pray out loud and you pray in your heart if you would like to give your life the Lord no matter which campus you're attending or if you're in an overflow room I appreciate you coming and staying even if you're an overflow room but you're not here by accident you're here because maybe you came to to hear feel because you've seen him on television but you're here because God loves you God's been drawing you some of you could share with me how God has spared your life that's the Grace and the mercy that field is talking about so I'm asking you'd ever campus every overflow room right now if you would like to give your life the Lord were you just simply in your heart pray this prayer after me all right

of my sin and I receive Jesus Christ as my lord and is my Savior today thank you Jesus for saving me today and for some of you I know you're coming back to God that you've gotten away from him and
