Sid: My guest Mickey Robinson I’m speaking to him at his home in Nashville, Tennessee. August 15, 1968 he was doing a routine jump, he loved the idea of sky diving it was his passion, he was invincible. As a kid he wanted to be Superman and that was the closes he could get to flying through the sky and so he’s up for this routine jump and all of a sudden the engine quits it crashes, he should have died, but a brave man pulled him out of the plane. He had third degree burns over something like 30% of his body; he brain injuries, blind in one eye, ulcers, went down to 90 pounds of weight. Pain so unbearable that drugs couldn’t do anything for him and the doctors basically they called in specialists there’s no hope, they called in his family and the doctors said he wouldn’t out live this afternoon. At that point Mickey something happened in your body, describe this to me.
Mickey: First Sid, I just want to explain I had zero communication with anybody about the spiritual dynamics other than what I leaned as being raised in a church a formal liturgical church.
Sid: You were not born again.
Mickey: I never heard of anybody that ever was, I heard all about Jesus but never heard of or met anybody who explained Jesus or the power of God or anything.
Sid: You’re part of most of Christian America then from what you’re describing, but go ahead.
Mickey: In that state of absolute medically they said had no hope waiting for the moment for me to die. Suddenly my inner-man my spirit sat up out of my body and then it was ejected as if I was extracted out and it was like instantly projected into a spiritual world that I now know was referred to as the second heaven. Instantly I knew that this spirit being is the real me you know. A lot of people really want to know what was it like. The most impacting thing first was the consciousness of eternity. You see as long as we’re on the physical plane we’re always aware of time, you and I got up this morning and likely to go to go to sleep at night. Somebody is born they’ll die; something is new it gets old, everything on the earthly plane or anything in the physical anything that is physically created is relative to time but everything I the realm of the spirit if is eternal. And the reality was instantaneous and it was stunning that’s all I could say and everything about it is like it’s like it’s not logic and reasoning you just know that you know. It’s what we know now that it’s revelation it’s constant in the realm of the spirit the colors are brighter, the feelings are…
Sid: You went from chronic pain where drugs could not help to what was it a euphoric feeling?
Mickey: Well, first of all I was totally free from the realm of the earth, and I was I was not conscious of pain, not conscious of any suffering; I was amazed at who I really was which is a spirit man. Every person that’s alive is a spirit being; we are a spirit soul and we live in a body. And the immature part which was being projected was being carried out of my body is that my physical body was laying there you know in a death state on bed. I was traveling the spirit realm and then out of…
Sid: And then medically speaking you died?
Mickey: Yes.
Sid: Go ahead.
Mickey: And out in front of me at a distance I was being drawn to like a white corridor, or a white light that was so bright and so white it was white as snowfield. It was brighter than the sun shining noonday. I looked right at it and was being drawn and it was very alluring you talk about euphoric it was like it was like going somewhere and it was very liberating and it was this intense sense of like going somewhere like traveling somewhere. It was like one spiritual state to another.
Sid: From the Second Heaven to the Third Heaven; how did it compare to sky diving?
Mickey: Skydiving is not even a weak imitation.
Sid: You were a man that the ultimate in life was skydiving, and that’s why I wanted that analogy.
Mickey: Well, everything about the realm of the spirit is stunning. It’s like Earth at its greatest is like flat two dimensional way in compared to like 3-D color, if I give an example. It’s another dimension the spirit world, I was traveling through there and staring this bright light and experiencing eternity sense, and then all of a sudden I could feel something on my right side and when I turned to look I saw something, it is something that’s blacker than black. I also had a spiritual perception of the nature of this, it was a bottomless pit with no bottom. There is no life, there is no matter, there is no opportunity, also I could feel also that it was eternal and in it was absolute hopelessness, eternal separation from the source of the hope of any opportunity for anything, what’s called the outer darkness.
Sid: Out of curiosity if before someone had said “Are you a Christian” would you have answered yes to no?
Mickey: Well, I wasn’t even really hearing that term; I was raised Roman Catholic, I’d probably said “I’m Catholic.”
Sid: Or if someone had said “Will you go to Heaven,” what would you have said?
Mickey: Honestly I really don’t know, I would have probably thought, “I’m a pretty good person I’ll probably go to Heaven I’ve done all the stuff they say you’re supposed to do.”
Sid: Okay but now you have come to the realization that you’re going eternally separated; what do you do about it?
Mickey: Let me tell you the difference I had never heard anything about the plan how you get to know God. I never heard the gospel preached in a personal way. When they took me in the ambulance for the first time in my life Mr. Invincible, Superman, James Bond all rolled into one knew that I was in some real deep yogurt this time. My good looks, my talent nothing was going to get me out of this and I said “God I’m sorry give me another chance.” At times when there was so many surgeries when they’re going to put you to sleep and you know it’s serious, I mean I didn’t realize how bad I was really hurt because I was a battered state, but I just said “God please give me another chance I’m sorry.” So 4:00 in the morning they give you largest lethal dose that’s permitted and it has absolutely no effect for the pain, they give you the largest dose of morphine permitted and it has no affect you’re going to go crazy. Just said “God I’m sorry just give me another chance.” Now it’s just sweeping in front of me more that it does the more intense the knowledge of eternal separation and I began to cry out “God I want to live, I’m sorry give me another chance.” And just before I’m swallowed by this black outer darkness I’m standing in the presence of Almighty God. Instantaneously I knew I would never die for eternity and I was experiencing instantaneously like bursting into a light I was experiencing the undiluted love of God and it’s indescribable. It wasn’t coming through music, it wasn’t coming through scripture, it wasn’t coming through a gift of the Holy Spirit it was God Himself directly and just pouring His love into me as a son. That little weak “I am sorry” got me to the cross of Jesus Christ. I don’t understand the grace of God to that extent. I didn’t do anything you know in my life obviously to deserve anything, you know in my life to deserve anything, I was living you know like everybody else doing my own thing trying to be a cool guy. But I saw this darkness and through the crack of that light I stood before God and Sid the glory of the Lord is so incredible.
Sid: Now when you say glory what do you mean by that?
Mickey: I was standing in what was a river that was flowing from the throne of God you could see the throne of God but on my left flowing from the left to the right. If you and I could imagine, if the listeners could imagine, see with your eyes invisible radiation. It looked like a river of glowing that had golden flecks in it, and flowing from left to the right in front of me, it was behind me, it was underneath me, and going right through me, and this river is alive, it is an extension of God’s glory. And I was more alive than anything that you could imagine than being alive You see because your spirit is tuned to the frequency of God. It’s searching for that vibration of God’s love and His glory. At one with God the most profound way and all of God’s love, and knowing that God’s going to take care I just knew no one had to tell me I mean the knowledge of God surpasses human thought, human understanding. It’s knowing at a higher level that I was going to live forever that God was going to take care forever and His glory was absolutely transforming me. And then after a season you have to understand that in this realm, in the third Heaven, there is no time you’re experiencing like eternity and the Lord showed me like a screen like today’s TV I began to have a vision of seeing people and places that were to encompass the next 7 years the next second the next minute.
Sid: Mickey, tell me one thing that the Lord showed you that happened in the future.
Mickey: This is pretty significant I saw my wife Barbara 5 years before I ever met her and saw the house that we were going to live in 6 years before we ever lived there. I could literally smell the flowers that surrounded the house, we were going to have our children and start our ministry. There was a path leading from the house to a gate that went out to a barn we had horses and I could literally smell the fragrance of the lilac bushes 6 years before it ever occurred. It’s like being there the vision is just as real as reality in the Heavenly realm. When I saw Barbara I had really prayed for God to send the woman that He wanted for me. So it was obvious she was not just your average good looking young woman, it was my destiny.
Sid: Mickey we’re running out of time right now. I have two CD’s the title is “Show Me Your Glory” in which you had such revelation of this realm in which you teach. And when you teach people literally experience that Glory and have a deep revelation of what happens during worship a deeper revelation of how important prayer are.
