I heard about Carroll Roberson from
the same preacher who married my wife and I, and baptized me the same
day. My wife and I were looking for some good gospel music we could
listen to in the absence of all the worldly music we threw away from
our collection. Music is a large part of both of our experiences, so
we know how powerful it can be to influence a person either with the
Holy Ghost or the Anti-Christ Spirit.
Carroll Roberson sings from the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, of Jesus Christ our Lord.
After a few years of listening to
Carroll, I've grown to like his music more and more. Some of his
songs are remakes of older gospel songs, but many of them are songs
him and his wife wrote and sing. They work together on many songs
with their singing, and wow they both have awesome voices.

I love the rhythm in many of Carroll's
songs, his guitar playing is another special talent God has gifted
him with. I guess if I had to choose which song is my favorite, I'd
pick “When You Call On Him” (video is below article). Carroll has hundreds of unique good
songs to listen to, and there's hardly ever one I don't really like.
One of the ways God helped me with: to
sanctify myself from this world and the things in this world, was by
only allowing Godly music into my ears. Not so called Christian
music, which you can hear on the mainstream channels, but rather
sincere Holy Spirit music. Carroll's music uplifts me, but doesn't get me
hyped up. I can stay joyful, peaceful, and with a sound mind – when
listening to his music.
Just a short bio of Carroll. He was
born in 1955 in Mississippi, although raised reading the Bible, he never
surrendered his life to Jesus Christ until 1983 when he survived a
cancerous tumor in his throat. He wasn't sure after the surgery if
he'd be able to talk again. When he was able to talk again
after, he dedicated his life to Jesus Christ and ministry. Since, he's
built his Carroll Roberson Ministries, written over 300 songs, recorded
over 40 albums, and had many other successful works for Jesus.
Presently, Carroll and his wife are working their ministry, conducting Holy Land tours and still writing and singing songs.
I don't get involved in their ministry
any more than listening to their songs and video talks about the
Bible during specials. There are some doctrinal differences we have
and I'm not sure what he thinks about the Vatican and Catholicism,
but his music is very simple and agreeable to my understanding in
Jesus. What I look at mostly in people is if they're sincere
believers, if yes, then they're saved - although maybe very wrong in a
certain area of doctrine (like believing in Futurism).
Carroll Roberson has been a blessing
to me and my wife for the last three years, and I wanted to put him
in the Singer/Songwriter Spotlight on AWR. This is the fourth one so
far on AWR. Check out the others :
For now, God bless and protect you in Jesus Christ,
and enjoy listening.
