Phil Robertson Easter 2015 First Sermon - April 5th 2015

now if my calculations are right there's been ninety nine thousand 150 Sundays ago that a human being in this case God in a human body came forth from the grave ninety nine thousand one hundred and fifty days ago you say why did you bring that out because I haven't forgotten it you understand what I'm telling you historically accurate eyewitness accounts I'm just saying that goes back a while by the way I figured that number of Sunday's out on the sheet of paper just added up the years beginning from - from 2015 going back but I had Dan double-check me Dan the butler case Butler I said see if you can verify I have a number in my head how many Sundays ago Jesus came forth from the dead I said can you figure that out damn with that black box you have computer your computer freaked that what does the computer say I didn't give him my number I just said figure it out and see what you come up with he worked on to about five minutes he said ninety nine thousand one hundred and fifty Sundays ago I said bingo 600 600 years before Jesus Oh Lord you persuaded me and I was persuaded you overpowered me and prevailed I am ridiculed all day long everyone mocks me whenever I speak I cry out for claiming violence and destruction so the word of the Lord has brought me insult and reproached all day long but if I say I will not mention him and I'm not gonna speak anymore in his name his word is in my heart luckiiy burning the fire shut up in my bones I'm weary of holding it in indeed I cannot I hear many whispering tear on every side report him let's report him all my friends are waiting for me to slip saying perhaps he'll be to see then will prevail over him and take that revenge on him we're going to bring him down but the Lord is with me like a mighty warrior so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail they will fail and be thoroughly disgraced their dishonour will never be forgotten Oh Lord Almighty you who examined the righteous and probe the heart and mind let me see your vengeance upon for to you I have committed my cause Jeremiah the Prophet said that so if trouble comes your way don't forget that Jeremiah 20 reading 700 there abouts years ago as they other prophet said about some individual coming he's speaking of what's going to go down 700 years from the time he said it it's like me saying something today and I'm predicting what's going to happen in 2715 for it to come true is quite astounding would you agree the Spirit of the Lord has on me because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor he has sent me somebody's coming from somewhere he sent me to bind up the brokenhearted to proclaim freedom for the captives and release for the prisoners somebody is in prison and somebody's coming to get him out of prison he sent me to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor fast forward 700 years just come forward 700 years one Jesus of Nazareth a carpenter's son he was born and barn as far as I know he didn't have any money he didn't have a house he didn't cover over 30 miles his entire life 30 miles he just appears as a human and he went to Nazareth where he had been brought up they all knew it it's like being born and raised in West Monroe he went to Nationals where he been brought up and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue as was his custom he stood up to read the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him I wonder where he's going to start from in Isaiah I just read you I was there 61 700 years earlier somebody was coming to release the prisoners unrolling the scroll of Isaiah he found the place where it is written and what I just quoted 700 years previously the Spirit of the Lord is on me because he's anointed me to preach good news to the poor sound familiar it was said 700 years ago now Jesus the carpenter's son is reading it he has sent me to proclaim freedom further prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind to release the oppressed to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor then he rolled up the scroll Jesus of Nazareth rolls a scroll back up and he gave it back to the attendant and he sat down the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him and he began by saying today right now this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing I'm the one they were like say what we have a God who created the cosmos how did he again here in the beginning in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth Genesis 1:1 john 1:1 says in the beginning back there in Genesis 1:1 was the word and the Word was with God and the Word was God he was with God in the beginning through him all things were made I keep thinking about that giant planet just one of them look up on a starry night and you say this is huge it is gigantic whoa all the planets the galaxies the stars we're 8,000 miles around our circumference there are planets out there 1.5 million to 2 million miles around them flying wide open in a jet taking like 1,100 years just to get around some of these planets through him all things were made use it through the one that came out of heaven through a human females world with no sex none and the one through whom the cosmos was made is crying in a barn you know I'm a c-plus man he says these people making these predictions I'll be the one I've come to preach the good news and release the prisoners I'll walk on water I'll race the dead are healed blind the sick I don't want to show you folks what I can do first of all if I could come from heaven way out there I created the cosmos and I come through and become flesh like you a human I don't know about y'all but you know what I call that I've called that the mother of all arrivals you ever heard of another person ever that can top that arrival you can't even imagine anyone coming close to that arrival you talk about on that raffle I'm thinking how did some fellow if this is not true dream that one up he's the one who said first of all just get in your head this Jesus he'd be big he'd be powerful how are you kiddin just the word the Cosmo gee I think I'll go with the big man go ahead I'm going with the story you know why because if you hold to my teaching jesus said then you are really my disciples then you will know the truth and the truth to set you free remember 700 years earlier and there's a bunch more work I'm coming to released the prisoners the captives the brokenhearted I've come to release them they're like we're Abraham's the bunch he told that we're Abraham's descendants we've never been slave to anyone how can you say we shall be set free what are you talking about jesus replied I tell you the truth he's telling you why he's here and why he's big enough and powerful enough to get the job done I'm going to do a great thing for you humans if you won't hit on it what the guys say two or three days ago well they taped him saying it there's no great religions they're stupid and they're dangerous all of them so this is stupid I'll tell you the truth everyone who sins is a slave to sin Jesus said let me ask y'all something be honest all you visitors to be honest if you ever sinned you can raise your hand raise your hand if you've ever seen it looks like everybody in the building I said you know what I'll know about you you're honest we have a world where they say Xion they were just like these people be set free watch I know sins a problem he said everybody who sins is a slave to it if the son sets you free you'll be free indeed something has to be done about your sin your slave to it you're under law works you never kept the law at all they say yes we did I know you're Abraham's descendants listen yet you're ready to kill me you don't have to be set free from anything you're trying to kill me because I say you're a sinner because you have no room and for my word I'm telling you what I've seen in the father's presence and you do what you have heard from your father looks like we have two fathers here Jesus has his father and the most religious people on the face of the earth have another father who could it be it's the one they need to be set free from everybody in this room today all of you have had another father at one time in your life I had a father until I was 28 years old and heard what I'm fixing to tell you I'm still in the introductory stage just trying to show you who he is and I'm trying to show you that evidently if it's the truth that sets you free I would be finding out what the truth is I haven't told you that's yet what is I pictured share that with you I'm in the intro phase set me free I've already listed one sin and now we're talking about they had a father who was not God the Father who could it be if you were Abraham's children then you would do the things Abraham did as it is you're determined to kill me a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God Abraham did not do such things you're doing the things your father does that's the second time he said you have a different father we're not little children children they presented the only father we have as God himself what they don't realize they're talking to God himself that's who they're talking to it is God talking to him jesus said to him if God we're your father you would love me if God were your father you would love me I am NOT come on my own but he sent me why is my language not clear to you because you're unable to hear what I say you belong to your father the devil and you want to carry out your father's desire he was a murderer from the beginning and that's why you won't to kill it's all instigated by your father the devil who has taken control of you first John 5:19 he works in you Ephesians chapter 2 he's taken you prisoner remember I've come to release the bread everyone had been taken captive by the devil 2nd Timothy 2:24 the Lord's servant I'm one of them must be kind to everyone not resentful must not quarrel you must be able to teach those who oppose him he must gently instruct I wonder why Jean instruct so that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth and they'll escape from the trap of the devil who's taken them captive to do his will the whole human race you either belong to God and he's your father are you are imprisoned controlled by the devil himself there is no in-between ladies and gentlemen he was a murderer from the beginning not holding to the truth this is stupid it's what the guy said you know what else he says there's no God for there is no truth in the devil when he lasts listen he speaks his native language for he is a liar and the father of lies father of murder father of lies how's the murder rate going now in the United States of America how's the murder rate going in the United States of America is that is it up I wonder why so many people are being murdered unborn children people walking on the street I mean like why so much killing your father was a murderer from the beginning you belong to your father he was a murderer from the beginning what does the truth set you free from Satan I just gave you second Timothy 2:24 I'm hoping that God will grant you repentance here today if need be and you'll come to a knowledge of the truth which I've not told you yet I'm just giving you the warm up bad news you got to be set free from see y'all raised your hand said we're sinners you have to be set free from sin don't tell me you're not guilty you don't feel guilty from time to time you said why do I feel guilty because because have you seen that's why you feel guilty the mental wards are full of people who are full of guilt sometimes sins perpetrated against them sometimes their own sins perpetrated to get someone else you did a full of guilt they have more streaks and psychiatrists running around trying to give them drugs and get them on get them on their feet keep him from being depressed drugs for depression about fifty billion a year one of these guys said who sells them he said oh well yep you have to be set free from it the truth have set you free from that wouldn't it be nice to bits be set free from Satan sin guilt you want to hear some more good news set you free from law these people hear that Jesus is saying they have another father rather than God you said they wonder a law of works that's what everybody on planet earth is under the ones outside Jesus you say they're all under system of Earth the Surya code that the Muslims have you say that very code that they dreamed up will condemn them you say do they have a law against do not murder don't murder yeah you say let's shoot me if God said don't matter yes you like looks like they're violating that one a lot some far-out Indian tribe you say with their laws about whose woman was whose and what stealing was inside the tribe and what this was and that way sure all the way down to the smallest tribe the truth about Jesus will set you free from being under our code you never even come close to keeping you know what the problem with law is the law is not the problem there's no provision when you're violated that's the problem there's no recourse you violate the law you I'm any time to I hate to violate it just one time and you stay dead forever and then there's that final act of the mother not only the mother of all arrivals the God who made the cosmos comes through a human being without any sex involved that's an arrival jack and you say and while he was here when he dies on a cross to sob your sin problem you're like what happened to him then three days later raised from the dead bodily he said grab me and see touch me and see I'm not a ghost they're like they were looking at him scared of him because they throw him down and they're looking at him and you get anything here to eat what I'm hungry give me something spirits don't eat bodies consume food right you say what was he telling you folks here 2,000 years later there's life beyond the grave if you culminated your arrival on planet Earth by standing there after you were graveyard dead its standing there and say check this out if that's the way you culminated your visit I think I would call that the mother of our visits wouldn't you I mean I'll set you free from Satan from sin from guilt from law from the grave check this out and they're all standing there saying we with you we meet with you and when they took off out of an some food come along said will cut your head off go ahead because based on my observation you can't kill us dude and they went forward and most of them were slaughtered for it and they suffered reproach and insult and ridicule all day long they just kept preaching the word with no fear anyone who believes in me if any even if he dies yet subtly up and whoever lives and believes in Me will never die and finally you say feel does it set us free from anything else because up to now this is pretty powerful I want to remind you of the gospel I preach to you that you received if you're in the audience you say you want me to receive the gospel truth about Jesus of Nazareth and what he did yeah look you say what's an exact outline of what you just say it we always think God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ whenever pray for you because we've heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love you have for all the saints the faith and love I'm in the book of Colossians it's a complete outline of what I just said to you for the last 20 minutes stored up free in heaven you've already heard about listen in the word of truth that's what sets you free the gospel that has come to you all over the world the gospel is producing fruit and growing just as it's been doing since the day you heard it and understood God's grace and all which is truth then he talks about you being added to the kingdom that's when you get into the kingdom of God then he talks about everybody heard it Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight without blemish there goes Satan there goes you see him there goes you guilt and he finds he ends it up by saying when this all is just given to you and your account in him you were also circumcised into putting off of the flesh not with a circumcision done by the hands of men like law would do but with a circumcision done by Christ having been buried with him in Baptism you need to do that it's your spiritual circumcision and through your faith and the power of God then he talked about the law that you're set free from he forgave us our sins he cancelled the written code with its regulations that was against us and stood opposed to us he took it away he dahlia to the cross there goes the law you set free from that - and you say in his mighty resurrection in Colossians 3 since then you've been raised with Christ Quinn's that when you were baptized set your heart on things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God he's there to mediate for you 24/7 and remove anything you will ever commit set your minds on things above not on earthly things listen for you died when you were baptized and you were buried your body and you were born again for you died your life is now hidden with Christ in God he set you free from Satan sin guilt law and on top of all that the grave and on top of all that Hellfire itself yeah it's stupid all right what's gonna happen to the people who say y'all are all stupid for following Jesus we gotta leave God's gonna pay back trouble to those who trouble you all that persecution of ridicule and insult he's gonna give you relief for your troubles this will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven there's not but one more event that's ever going to happen and human history concern in this individual mother of all rattles murder of our visits mother of all departures your Hattie what happened to it he stand there talking to him about 40 days after he was raised from the dead after the mother of all visits he's alive they killed him he's standing back you say I'd be a pretty good visit right there that's a way that's ready in that visit oh yeah so he's standing there talking to him and he's the whip y'all stay right here I'm gonna give you some power in a few days don't leave Jerusalem because you're gonna be my witnesses starting here Judea Samaria the ends of the earth hold here boys and look without a rocket booster in a human body glorified one there I will look it up which I would do I'm like whoa now there's the mother of all departures do you have anyone who's ever taught the arrival of Jesus the visit of Jesus or the departure of Jesus can you think of someone maybe just off the top of your head me who was that sad let me tell you something he's coming back one more lash you gonna mess with somebody like this stupid this is beyond incredible all of your problems are solved where'd the cosmos come from in the beginning God made it he said we're human beings come from God made us we have some problem he something I'm afraid of dying he's gonna fix that he's fixed that he's coming back for us the tombs have he opened up and the bodies have come forth from him we're going to live forever he's gonna pay back those who do not know God you will know the truth the truth will set you free he's going to punish those who don't know him and who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus you have to hear it the gospel Jesus died was buried and raised from the dead you have to believe it I want to remind you either guys what you received by this country you say it if you hold the word otherwise you believed in vain Christ died was buried and raised from the dead you can't believe that and this text second Thessalonians 1:8 says you have to obey it you have to die to sin don't you know you can't keep sinning you died to sin how can you live it any longer don't you know that all of you who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death you were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that just like he was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father we too may live a new life simple enough won't do it you're visiting you say whoa I never put that together I have to through faith died to sin be buried and when I come forth God saves me with imperishable seed his spirit I'm participating in the resurrection of Jesus in a warm pool of water his real death back there 2000 years ago I participate in it right here today is that cool or what you got a better idea what is your idea that will talk that if this is not true all the Obamacare in the world is not going to get you out of ground right you want to go the insurance route the human insurance route go ahead and nut cakes it's not gonna get you out of the ground I love my country but you know what I love God Almighty way more you want to know why because the United States government cannot remove my sin nor can it raised me from the dead right so I'm going with y'all Almighty God I pray for our country we try to win as many as we can if you want to obey the gospel here today the truth that set you free you come right down here I'm not gonna be here I'm fixing to leave the premises then I'm coming back and do this same speech again is it a wacky world of what you say will you come back with as much enthusiasm as you had when you were here right now I'll come back with us much enthusiasm I'm stirred up about this I love what's happened on our behalf aren't you Father I pray for anyone here I pray that they just see this is stuff complex it's not rocket science at all long ago it's been 90 9150 Sundays ago your son Jesus beat the grave we are here today Father remembering that day and that event what a way what a way to culminate a awesome arrival and more than awesome visit all I can say is father thank you for giving us that living hope that we can come forth from the grave and live on I pray for that couple we talked to their son just dad father physically but according to your word father he is alive he is in heaven and Jesus is going to bring him back when he ends this whole thing there's only one more era left father it's the same one who got here without all simal arrival he's coming back one more time to gather up his people raise their bodies from the cemeteries reunite them with their souls and spirits and we're all out of here alive or we will live eternally we inherit what you have thank you Father for making that possible farts it's in the name of Jesus I pray to anyone here that's in the audience who has not obeyed the gospel yet that they were come forth amen
