Phil Roberts testimony

I got up and made a request. To my brother who was about to be sent to prison, please leave him alone for a bit, Mr. Robinson, do you have a problem with him dealing with a drug dealer? The state of Texas dispenses injustice against drug traffickers. I told him I don't have any problem with that. I know what justice is. I'm asking for mercy. The judge didn't give my brother anything, so 13 years after he was convicted, I was there when he was sent away and Willie was there when he got out of prison. Gates, you say. all stuck with that brother every step of the way he took to get out of prison Willie said was it worth it said no it wasn't worth it at all so he spent 12 and a half 13 years in prison I said Paul I said come to me house, stay there free of charge, you live with me, Miss K, can you stand up?

He married a girl who was half black and half Latina. We married him in my yard and the local rednecks were driving their boat down the road and they were looking over there and they saw black Mexicans and rednecks eating cake and singing songs to God laughs and to the rednecks the rednecks in pink and when I passed by I lost my boat I looked and saw all that happening, he said At that moment I knew there had to be a god, they're not shooting, they're not cutting, loving each other and singing God songs thanking God.

Oh, Paul was there after being in prison all those years. Do you see what the family of God is? as if we were known by our love for each other God became flesh died on a cross for the sins of the world Jesus is his name three days later he solved Your serious problem all your problems have been solved God did everything he could You don't earn it, no You can work for it, everything has been done for you, it's free and the bottom line is that you won't get out of here without it, don't fool yourself, argue with your wife, curse yourself and worry. you are like what am I what am I doing repent return to God believe in the gospel obey him you will be baptized in a few days the old will disappear and the new will come forth God will steal your deal now that you have purified yourself by obeying the truth Peter said love one another deeply since the heart because you have been born again I told you that the first birth brings you here the second birth being born of God of water in the spirit will take you out of here that we have A look at our culture.

You tell me that we run with so much in the United States. The police are the problem. We are the problem. Why don't we repent and turn to God and show our culture what true love is all about and our government and Hollywood? and all the media, why don't we go out and show them what true love is? Texas. I love them very much. The clock on the wall says 3 minutes and 49 seconds. I'm going back to Monroe. I've been drawn my stay with you if there's no God, we're done, we're done if there's no God, it's like Jim Carrey when he ran into that little fox in that movie and said what do you think my chances are with you, maybe a out? of a thousand and the little fox said more like one in a million and Kerry smiled and did it.

You're telling me there's a chance. Well, we have a chance from my point of view to get out of here alive. One thing is for sure. You're not going to get out of here alive you have no chance if you keep taking drugs getting drunk and getting laid and spinning around and dirt coming out of your mouth you'll probably die early in life premature death you say I have no chance of getting out here strong none of me I'm saying how They could have dreamed this story Jesus is at the right hand of the father constantly cleansing us from any sin He has given us imperishable seed implanted that mark or the resurrection I pray that you answer that yes Isn't he a father?

We love you. We have a chance from my vantage point to get out of here alive. It is putting our faith in the death of your son on a cross back there two thousand years ago and three days later resurrecting him from the dead guaranteeing ours. father you have told us clearly how in Adam everyone dies that is a fact regardless of that guy who challenged me but in Christ everyone will be quickened each one in turn Christ the firstfruits and then when he comes all of us father for our loved ones who have preceded the saved are still alive they are simply separated from their body at this moment their bodies are in the cemetery but they are spirits their souls are with you and Lord when you return Jesus you are bringing them all with you that is why you have told us father first Thessalonians 4 13 you told us that we should not grieve like the rest of men who have no hope we believe that Jesus died and rose again so if we know father he is He will solve our serious problem when he returns, if he returns before we die, he will change us in the act and we will live forever.

Thank you for that great hope. Help us grab it with both feet. do not give in and live happily ever after thank you Father in the name of Jesus Amen I was in a mighty well. I'm going to ask you to just bow your head and close your eyes for a moment so that every person here on every campus every overflow room I just don't want you to go, please don't go, let's just all have a personal moment with God, so that is the reason why I ask everyone to close their eyes so that they can have a personal moment with God.

Now I identify with Phil, some of you have heard my

testimony

. I was doing all those same things and I got saved in a motel room. It's because I gave control of my life to Jesus. I would like to ask him if he identifies with Phil, maybe you didn't do the same things but you know you need to give your life to God. You can do it right now in your seat and I will help you. What I would like to do is guide you in a short prayer. where I pray out loud and you pray in your heart if you want to give your life to the Lord no matter what campus you attend or if you are in an overflow room.

I appreciate you coming and staying even if you're a packed house but you're not here by accident you're here because maybe you came to hear Phil because you've seen him on TV but you're here because God loves you God has been drawing you some of You guys could share with me You tell me how God has saved your life, that's the grace and mercy that Phil was talking about, so I'm asking you on every campus, in every overflowing room right now, if you would like to give your life to the Lord, would you just do it in your heart?

Pray this prayer after me, it's okay while I pray out loud, could you pray this in your heart?
