 Bob, thank you so much for coming up here and to share your testimony Yesterday you shared a lot about how you received Christ, but let's just talk specifically on your salvation How did you get to know God and what was your journey like? Yeah, I'm gonna try to sum this up real quick Anyway, yeah, it started out with You know, I mean back in the 60s I got involved with some people that were producing a massive amount of LSD and they started a cult And it was based on Eastern religion So that and they really were many of them were very sincere thinking they were gonna go ahead and make the world better through Chemistry But anyway, you know, so and we surely believe these people had an Eastern Religious mindset You know like Hinduism and Buddhism and they believe that the kingdom of heaven was in in this vast Nothingness out there and it is the key was to empty out and then then you're gonna go ahead and be enlightened and then you're gonna go ahead and find the kingdom of heaven and So that's what they trained me to do the fast for three or four days Go up to the mountains around Big Bear Lake and up there around LA and and then take a massive amount of LSD And and I really believed I saw God Okay but it was you know from there it went on into I Embraced Hinduism. I went to the Fiji Islands. I studied it with a Hindu priest live with them and his family and And and and and begin to meet all the these different Hindu gods They would they'd be hanging around the temple and I'd be going ahead and Getting to know them personally they would relay messages for the priest to me and and and and give me instructions There was supernatural phenomena going on right left and center There was you know, it was a fire walking ceremony where people walked barefoot through hot cut coals So I just think and that was gonna go ahead and that was gonna bring me into enlightenment So I managed to go ahead and in partake of the ceremony and actually walked across The the hot coals barefooted made it to the other side and and then I'm thinking okay now it's enlightenment well from there I went to I went to I ran out of money so I ended up in New Zealand and Where I could get some work and then I was thinking okay instead of being free a Depression came upon me and emptiness came upon me. That was so that was so like I'd never experienced before in my life instead of instead of joy peace and love it was just a Deeper Emptiness, you know a great void and then now so then I got hooked up with an organization called the church of Scientology I became a licensed minister of the church of Scientology in Auckland, New Zealand for five years and finally found out that this was not the answer and it was and and Came back to the United States Totally confused I thought I was going ahead and achieve enlightenment The thousands of hours sitting in caves and third world countries and villages and and here I am just that just a confused 30-year-old man Well, then I met my wife and Here's here's here's the key to this We've been married 40 years. We did we did her burial service for her memorial yesterday and And and and it became so clear to me that in 1979 we had just been dating I was living in Portland. She was in Seattle. She came she came down from Seattle on Thanksgiving We baked the turkey. I was carving up the turkey. I come back and all of a sudden She's in my living room and she's completely prostrate on the ground crying crocodile tears I said what happened, honey, and she said what Jesus just appeared to me And he and he just and she was going through an ugly divorce and she was going through a horrible experience herself at that time so we were both hurting units and and and and it was a short time after that that all of a sudden it's like Things we kept going wrong. I said, you know, I talked to God But I believe that Jesus actually intervened right there He he touched my wife mildly in 1979 just just a matter of weeks later. He says You I got an assignment for you. I want you to take care of this woman you know, so I Did and I've been taking care of her for 40 years now and and and that was the key Because everything I had been involved with I mean I can go on and on and on but everything I had been involved with was spiritual darkness and the holds that it had on me and and and the stranglehold It had on me and and but because she had that experience and then I was true to that assignment And I was true to a second assignment and that was to go ahead and and go into the prisons and reach reach prisoners And and I was I've been true to that just the evangelical evangelical outreach to the prisons for 26 years now So it took both those things and it took my the picture that he showed me was like I was like a kite Who would he just flown out into a vast empty nothingness? But she had she had the string and she had that she had the she had you know, and she was she was Anchored there's no way I could I could seduce her into a counterfeit Jesus Christ She had the real thing because she met the real thing and and and and She she you know her and the Holy Spirit and and the work in the prison ministry It kept pulling pulling the kite down pulling the kite down and then finally in 19 There was a massive deliverance that that took place in me And and I had five men restraining me to the floor and at that time I was I was chanting the same Hindu chants. I chanted in 1973 And and all of a sudden I realized that that Hindu God had been lingering all these years So the bottom line is this church there is spiritual darkness and there's counterfeits coming from every different direction And right now that what's on my heart and and and as I see revival going on I also know all the different counterfeits that are out there I see I see how they they come sneaking in you know, and and they're coming through the emerging church They're coming into so many different directions into the Christian community coming through they're coming through they've already impacted our culture to such an extent That the culture is now coming into the church and the whole thing is just getting completely You know mixed up with Eastern religions and and and and those techniques So my heart my passion is that This be clean this be clean and this be clear of all that be free from all of that You know and and and that it be the pure Holy Spirit that manifests with with no impurity and no counterfeits whatsoever And that's my heart church and that's what I'm praying for And I'm gonna do everything I can to go ahead and try to protect what's happening in this church And I'll be and and and I'm locked in with you And I and I just wanted to thank you for the love that you shared with with on my on my wife when I bring her in that wheelchair and Six or seven or eight of you would be praying for her that never happened in any other church We went to and she loved this church and she loved you guys And I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything that for all all the love that you poured into her And and and she's in glory right now And I better stop talking. No, you did good. You did so good. I Would say this is the You know what Bob said yesterday he said that You know we're at the funeral. He says I'm so happy. She finished the membership class at hungry Jen before she died I'm like, I don't think that matters now He's like I know but because she was in a wheelchair, so she couldn't go up upstairs for the classes Then we switched the classes having downstairs. He's like she finished them like how many months ago There's a couple of months ago. Yeah, he's like she's she went to heaven as a member of hungry Jen so Become a member before you die It's very important.
