=== Granddaddy's Salvation (02:25) ===

[00:00:00]  You know, you've been a champion for babies' rights.
[00:00:03]  You take all the impossibles.
[00:00:06]  Your vision should change.
[00:00:07]  I take mission and possibly your ministry.
[00:00:09]  Yeah, Mr. Phelps, if you should take it.
[00:00:12]  Or Dr. Baker, your mission is, if you choose to take it.
[00:00:16]  If you choose to take it.
[00:00:18]  That's right.
[00:00:19]  I've been choosing to take them for a while.
[00:00:21]  You sure have.
[00:00:22]  Yeah.
[00:00:23]  So how long have you been a rights of champion rights for babies?
[00:00:30]  1983 when I became a born-again Christian.
[00:00:32]  Now, my granddaddy saved me from abortion in 1950.
[00:00:36]  Okay, wait, let's stop right there.
[00:00:37]  I don't think, did you hear?
[00:00:38]  Her granddaddy.
[00:00:40]  Martin Luther King Sr.
[00:00:41]  Martin Luther King Sr. saved you.
[00:00:46]  Told my mother not to abort me.
[00:00:48]  Aborted.
[00:00:48]  Yeah, because she was going to abort me.
[00:00:49]  Thank you.
[00:00:51]  And she didn't, because she wanted to finish college.
[00:00:53]  That's one of the reasons that people choose.
[00:00:55]  We've had a come to Jesus moment over and over.
[00:00:58]  She has recorded the story about how glad she is that she listened to him.
[00:01:03]  And he was speaking from God.
[00:01:04]  And in his church, he found out somebody's going to have a baby.
[00:01:07]  You're having that baby.
[00:01:09]  We'll help you raise that baby.
[00:01:10]  And he did it his whole ministry.
[00:01:12]  But I became a feminist and all that in the 60s and the 70s.
[00:01:17]  I had two secret abortions, unfortunately.
[00:01:19]  Right.
[00:01:20]  And a miscarriage because of a botched abortion.
[00:01:22]  That's right.
[00:01:23]  But in 1983, I became born again.
[00:01:26]  I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.
[00:01:29]  Amen.
[00:01:31]  Praise God.
[00:01:33]  I repented of my sins.
[00:01:36]  And then for a long time, I didn't think God could forgive me.
[00:01:38]  That was a terrible thing I'd done.
[00:01:40]  But God did forgive me.
[00:01:41]  Jesus forgave me.
[00:01:42]  You know, the hardest thing to do, the hardest thing.
[00:01:47]  But the first thing is to ask for forgiveness.
[00:01:50]  Your pride.
[00:01:50]  People have got to hear this.
[00:01:52]  That's not cancel culture.
[00:01:54]  God restores.
[00:01:55]  God does restore.
[00:01:56]  But we have to repent.
[00:01:58]  We repent.
[00:01:59]  He forgives us.
[00:02:00]  Amen.
[00:02:00]  Then Mark 11, it says, but would you pray, forgive so that he can forgive you.
[00:02:06]  Forgiving others.
[00:02:07]  And let me just tell people out here, if you have somebody you can't forgive, ask Holy Spirit to help you.
[00:02:12]  Amen.
[00:02:13]  Holy Spirit will help you to forgive.
[00:02:16]  Then the hardest thing is to forgive yourself.
[00:02:18]  That's it.
[00:02:19]  It's harder to forgive yourself than either of the other two.
[00:02:23]  I finally forgave myself.
[00:02:25]  Yes.
