00:01 Bible Prophecy is coming to pass right before our very eyes.
00:04 Today we have a guest that has some information 00:07 that can be life-changing... 00:09 My name is Yvonne Lewis and you're watching 00:11 Urban Report... 00:36 Hello and welcome to Urban Report... 00:38 several of you have e-mailed me about today's guest... 00:41 he has tens of thousands of hits on YouTube... 00:45 in fact that's how I found him, 00:47 he's the host of Dare to Dream's 00:48 Program... the "Forerunner Chronicles" 00:51 Chris Hudson... Chris, welcome to our Program 00:55 Urban Report... 00:56 How are you doing Yvonne, thank you for having me... 00:58 Oh, I'm so happy that you're here, 01:00 you know, I first found you, 01:03 as I mentioned just a minute ago, 01:04 I first found you on YouTube... 01:07 and I was just surfing the Net 01:09 and I went to... I was on YouTube... 01:13 and there you were... and I started listening to you 01:15 and I thought, "Hmmm, he sounds like 01:17 an Adventist" because you were so Scriptural 01:20 and doctrinally sound and... it just really sounded 01:24 it resonated with me... so, tell me, 01:27 how did you first get into... just the whole idea 01:33 of Scriptural Exposition... how did you get into that? 01:37 That's interesting... I guess that really happened 01:40 as I was going down on the street as a colporteur... 01:44 going door to door... and you come up against 01:47 many different individuals... and you find it very necessary 01:51 to know what's in the Bible because people have questions 01:54 and you don't want to tell them "This is what I think... " 01:57 "This is what I think it may be" you want to give them a 02:00 "Thus sayeth the Lord... " so, as I went door to door 02:03 I desired to be successful in sharing the gospel 02:05 with people... that led me to really spend more 02:08 time in studying my Bible... and being able to connect 02:11 line upon line... precept upon precept... 02:13 here a little... there a little... 02:14 so that I could just clearly lay out the will of God 02:17 as it is revealed in the Bible, to those who I came across... 02:20 Ah... that's great... that's great... 02:22 so you started as a colporteur, and then you... 02:25 did you go to School for 02:27 studying the Word 02:30 or did you just kind of teach yourself? 02:32 No, I went to School but... I was taught by the Holy Spirit 02:38 praise God for that... Amen, amen, for sure, for sure, 02:42 okay, so then... what led you to decide to take the gospel 02:46 high tech... how did you get to do that? 02:49 That's interesting... about five years ago... 02:54 it was really laid upon my heart to just put my whole 02:59 existence into ministry... and I literally went homeless... 03:03 for the sake of us spreading the gospel... 03:05 and I worked a job while I was homeless doing flooring... 03:10 but I took all the money that I had... 03:12 I had friend that was working with me at that time... 03:14 his name is Ty... and took all the money 03:16 that I got from my flooring and I put it into... 03:18 and I put it into buying the video camera... 03:21 and we shot these videos... and we bought a little 03:24 DVD burner... and we started burning several DVDs every day, 03:29 and we just passed out those DVDs... 03:32 of these different video messages 03:35 that the Lord had placed on my heart to share... 03:38 and as time went on... somebody suggested to me, 03:41 "Why don't you place this DVD up on YouTube?" 03:44 and I told them that I wasn't familiar 03:45 with YouTube... but I did it... 03:46 and just left it there... 03:48 didn't think much of it... and as a few months went along, 03:51 I started receiving some messages 03:54 from viewers on YouTube and I jumped on YouTube 03:56 then I realized that people were actually watching 03:58 the videos... and so, I got excited from that 04:03 and they were asking questions... 04:04 and so I told Ty... "I think I could do a video 04:08 to answer to some of these questions 04:09 that they are asking me... " 04:10 and that's pretty much how it happened... 04:12 and I just received questions and I started answering 04:15 their questions... and we just saw more and more 04:18 reviews coming in... and I was impressed by the 04:20 Spirit of God that this was the work 04:22 that He would have me to do to reach out to the world 04:24 via the Internet... and it's been amazing... 04:27 Wow... you know... that is so interesting 04:29 because many times people don't think that there is 04:33 sacrifice necessary... to do the work of God... 04:37 or they might not be willing to make the sacrifice... 04:40 but here you are... homeless... 04:42 that's very deep... 04:44 and I'd like to talk about that just for a minute 04:46 because there are several people 04:48 who, either they might be losing their homes or 04:51 they might be homeless right now... 04:52 what would you say to someone who is going through that... 04:56 as a Christian person... how would you encourage 05:00 someone who is dealing with that right now? 05:02 You know, one of my favorite Scriptures 05:05 that I would recite to myself over and over and over again... 05:08 is a very familiar one 05:10 in Proverbs Chapter 3 verses 5 and 6 05:12 Hmmm... which tells us, 05:14 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; 05:16 and lean not upon thine own understanding. 05:18 In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. " 05:21 You know, being homeless... 05:23 it's hard not to trust in your heart 05:25 at that time... everything that you see 05:27 seems like it's against you... 05:28 but we need to just rest ourselves 05:31 in the hands of the Lord 05:32 realizing that He always has an ultimate design for our lives 05:36 and most of all... set our hearts to obeying 05:38 the will of God and sharing the love 05:41 and the truth of God even in whatever predicament 05:44 we may find ourselves 05:45 we always see how the Lord will be able to work for us 05:49 and work through us in amazing ways... 05:51 because, here I was... I was homeless... 05:54 but the Lord was able to use me to be able to reach out to 05:58 tens and thousands of people, 06:00 I mean, we got millions of hits 06:02 on YouTube and we were still... living in the car, 06:04 Wow! so... there's always hope 06:08 when you're in Christ Jesus, that's the most amazing thing 06:11 if you don't have Christ, 06:12 that's another situation, 06:13 because you have inhibiting yourself 06:16 in the one who has all the treasures of knowledge 06:19 and wisdom... who has all the resources 06:22 of creation... in His bosom at that... 06:25 Yes... but, you know, but when you're 06:27 hidden in Jesus Christ whatever situation 06:30 you find yourself in... you can rest assured that 06:33 that God will work it out for your eternal good... 06:36 ultimately... That is so true Chris, 06:38 and one of the things that we tend to not realize 06:42 when we're in the midst of the storm 06:44 and suffering is that... there are such sweet things 06:48 that can come out of it... for example... 06:50 your relationship with Christ, just tends to deepen 06:53 when you're in adversity... you know, so that 06:56 you draw closer to Him, because, He is your source... 07:00 so you draw closer to Him, and He then leads you through... 07:04 He didn't say that we won't have storms... 07:06 but He says that when we walk through the fire, 07:08 we won't be burned... you know when you pass 07:11 through the waters... they won't overflow you 07:14 so, we can trust Him and know that He will bring 07:17 us through... and you're saying to us 07:19 that when you went through that storm... 07:22 you knew ultimately... you trusted in God 07:24 and you knew... He was going to bring you through 07:26 And I think... the thing that really helped 07:29 me the most is that my days weren't focused 07:33 upon myself and my predicament, my days were focused upon 07:36 others and trying to assist other people 07:39 in finding a home in heaven for eternity... 07:42 and as I took the focus off of myself 07:45 and upon the work... upon the love of Christ 07:48 and the need of so many people to come to a knowledge 07:51 of the truth, it didn't only ease my suffering 07:54 I guess... I know you're going to call it suffering 07:56 it didn't ease the trial... but it made it joyful for me... 08:00 And that again... is one of the sweet things 08:03 that the Lord does... I remember, there was a time 08:07 when I was losing my home and in the middle of that... 08:10 I was recording a CD... and so, everyday... 08:14 I was singing for the Lord... 08:16 and so I would not think about what I was dealing with 08:19 when I go home, of course, I'd think about it... 08:22 but when you're in the midst of that dark time 08:24 and you're doing something else, or something that brings 08:28 someone to the Lord... 08:29 then it takes the sting out of it 08:32 and yet you can rejoice in the midst of the storm... 08:35 and I'm sharing that because I think a lot of people 08:38 need to know that... you know they see you up on 08:40 television and they think that, 08:42 "Oh, he hasn't had any trouble, he hasn't had any hard times" 08:45 and here you were... homeless... 08:47 but you wanted to bring people to a knowledge of the truth... 08:51 and I noticed that at the end of Forerunner Chronicles... 08:55 you say, "The Truth... is the Truth... " 08:58 so, with that serious look, "The Truth... is the Truth" 09:03 and I think that that's really incredible... 09:06 okay, so, journey with me now, so you are homeless... 09:10 you got on YouTube... and how did the Lord 09:13 turn that situation around... the homelessness... 09:15 how did He turn that around for you? 09:17 it was really just... through a series of events... 09:23 I spoke at a Church... 09:26 I met up with another gentleman 09:28 that was involved in the Medical Missionary Work... 09:32 and I was able to do some volunteering with him, 09:35 working at the Lifestyle Center that he had operating 09:39 and I learned more about the Medical Missionary Work as well, 09:42 which was a real blessing because every minister 09:44 should know at least simple medical treatments 09:47 because Jesus did more healing than He did... 09:49 teaching and preaching... and so that was a blessing 09:52 and then from there... the Lord just continued to bless 09:54 as I was sharing the message, people in the world 09:57 were expressing their desire to to help support the ministry 10:02 and it pretty much went from there, 10:05 That is so awesome... people need to know... 10:08 God has a plan... and He can take the darkest 10:11 circumstances and turn them into something positive... 10:14 so now, you're hosting Forerunner Chronicles... 10:17 and I know that you study a lot, and you're on top of 10:21 what's going on... and how it ties into Bible Prophecy 10:24 and one of the things that I wanted to talk to you 10:27 about today is the NDAA... 10:30 The National Defense Authorization Act 10:32 tell us about that and tell us how it ties into 10:35 Bible Prophecy... 10:37 Well, the NDAA, for many people 10:39 out there that might not be familiar with it... 10:41 that's the National Defense Authorization Act... 10:45 it was signed into Law on December 31 of 2011... 10:49 and what this bill essentially gives the administration 10:54 of our Government the ability to do... 10:57 is to detain US Citizens indefinitely... 10:59 in Military Detention Facilities without going through 11:02 any due process... you don't get any Court Case, 11:05 no evidence is presented, or you don't get to present 11:09 any evidence on your behalf... etc.. 11:11 and this Law... by itself... 11:15 really nullifies our Bill of Rights... 11:17 and it's a very frightening thing because 11:20 it's focused at possible extreme... a violent extremist 11:26 or terrorist... now, you may be out there 11:28 you might be a Christian, and you say, 11:30 "Hey, I'm not a violent extremist... 11:31 this is a good thing... I don't want any more planes 11:35 flying into buildings where I live... " 11:37 but back in April of 2009, in a 11:44 Department of Homeland Security Report... 11:46 it was stated that there were different groups 11:49 that were mentioned as possible violent extremists 11:53 or Home-grown terrorists within the United States of America 11:56 and amongst the group of individuals that were spoken of 12:00 they spoke of those people that teach end-time prophecies, 12:04 as possibly being violent extremists... 12:07 and "that" is a very serious thing... 12:10 that means that if you teach the truths 12:12 that are found within the books of Daniel and Revelation, 12:16 that you could be possibly looked upon 12:19 as a violent extremist within our Country... 12:23 and so, that actually, criminalizes the message 12:27 of these last days and this can radically change 12:31 the way that we promote the gospel at this time. 12:34 Absolutely... now wasn't it stated that it's not 12:37 supposed to be for American citizens... 12:40 how are they going to get around that? 12:42 That's interesting... yeah... Obama did make a statement 12:45 in his signing statement, he said that 12:47 he will not use this power that's been invested 12:53 in the President to detain American Citizens 12:58 under his administration, this gives us no guarantee 13:01 as to what will happen under the next Administration 13:05 Hmmm... if Obama is no longer in office 13:07 however, there's another bill that has been rapidly 13:10 progressing through Congress called 13:12 The Enemy Expiration Act... and what that Act 13:15 gives the Government the ability to do 13:17 is to strip US Citizens of their citizenship... 13:21 so, if that bill goes through, they can strip US Citizens 13:26 of their citizenship... therefore... Obama... 13:29 won't be able to keep his promise because 13:31 once they strip you of your citizenship... 13:33 well, you won't be locking up a US Citizen... 13:36 you'll be locking up an enemy combatant at that time 13:38 so these are really serious times 13:40 that we're living in... and this all ties in 13:43 with the Scriptures because we're told in the 13:46 Book of Revelation Chapter 13 and verse 11 13:49 "And I beheld another beast coming up 13:50 out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, 13:53 and he spake as a dragon" and that beast 13:56 is none other than a symbol of the 13:58 United States of America... beasts are symbolic 14:01 of kingdoms or political powers, in the Bible... 14:04 we're told that in Daniel 7 and verse 7 14:07 and Daniel 7 and verse 23... and those two horns 14:12 are symbolic of the two great powers 14:14 that lay at the foundation of our Government 14:16 which are Republicanism and Protestantism... 14:18 a Country that is... of the people, 14:20 for the people and by the people 14:21 and in Protestantism which gives us 14:22 the freedom of Conscience to worship... 14:24 when we want to worship, how we want to worship, 14:26 whatever day we want to worship... 14:27 but the United States of America will speak 14:29 as a dragon... it will consequently 14:31 be setting in place legislation 14:34 that will carry out the designs of the devil himself 14:36 which is primarily symbolized as the dragon... 14:39 in Revelation Chapters 12 and verse 9... 14:42 and the designs of the devil is found in 14:44 Revelation Chapter 12 and verse 17 where it says 14:46 "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, 14:48 and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, 14:50 which keep the commandments of God, 14:51 and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. " 14:53 and so, ladies and gentlemen, what we're finding out 14:57 that's going on right now... is we're moving toward the time 15:00 in which our Country... is going to remove 15:04 the protections that we've enjoyed for so long 15:06 that have guarded our religious freedom... 15:09 and opened the gateway for God's people 15:12 to be persecuted because 15:13 we hold fast to the truth... 15:15 That is so deep... and you know, 15:17 a lot of people will say, 15:18 "Well, that can't happen here in the United States... " 15:21 I remember years ago I used to think 15:23 "How is it that you're not going to be able to buy or sell" 15:27 you know... at some point, you're not going to be able to 15:31 buy or sell... and it would be a cashless society 15:34 how is that? Well, now we see... 15:36 That's right... we have debit cards, 15:38 we have, you know, this is a cashless... 15:40 I rarely carry cash... not that I a lot to carry... 15:42 but I rarely carry cash... because 15:44 we can see how things are just shaping up... 15:48 and now you're telling us with the NDAA... 15:51 how this whole... the time of trouble... 15:54 could be upon us at any time now... 15:57 because now... legislation is being put into place 16:00 that can really remove our rights as citizens... 16:04 That's right... that's right... 16:05 That is really something... 16:06 Go ahead... you were going to say something. 16:09 I was going to say that, I know many people 16:11 when they hear this type of information, 16:13 it can cause... 16:15 a bit of fear into your heart... 16:18 because you may feel as though, "I'm not ready... " 16:20 but fortunately we know that Jesus Christ 16:24 is always standing at the right hand of the Father 16:27 making intersession for us... 16:28 He's there... pleading on our behalf, 16:30 we can find a safe haven in Jesus Christ 16:33 as a matter-of-fact... the book of Revelation 16:35 is the revelation of Jesus Christ 16:36 according to Revelation Chapter 1 and verse 1... 16:39 so, as we see this information being relayed to us, 16:42 telling us... what is going to 16:44 transpire here in the present day 16:45 that we're living in... and in the very near future... 16:48 know that it's Jesus Christ that has revealed 16:51 this information to us so that 16:52 we can have an opportunity to be prepared 16:55 and hidden in Him... His blood has been spilled 16:58 so that we can be cleansed from our sins... 17:01 and so... all we have to do is turn our faces to Jesus 17:03 allow Him to give us the power of His Holy Spirit... 17:06 so that we can be overcomers over every hereditary 17:09 and cultivated tendency toward sin, 17:11 and we'll be established 17:13 so that when these things do go down... 17:15 we don't have to worry... because we stand 17:18 on the side of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords... 17:20 Amen... amen... and that's key... 17:22 we don't have to fear... we know, as Danny Shelton says, 17:26 "We know how the book ends... " 17:28 we know how the story ends... 17:29 we know that if we've accepted the Lord Jesus Christ 17:33 as our Savior... we will be saved and we'll leave 17:36 this earth... so we can trust that God's got our back 17:39 so to speak and we don't have to really worry 17:41 about the outcome... he's going to take care of us... 17:44 Let's talk a little bit about the 17:46 "Occupy Wall Street" movement 17:48 what is that about and how does that apply 17:51 to us now? The Occupy Wall Street Movement 17:55 is definitely another interesting... 17:57 happening... within, not just the United States of America, 18:01 but all throughout the world now 18:02 that we should really keep our eye on... 18:04 because this spirit of unrest 18:06 and revolution is basically coursing throughout the veins of 18:10 our Society... and history has always shown 18:14 that when we see these types of elements, 18:16 begin to become prominent within our world... 18:20 civil war really... is a foot 18:24 and, you know the Bible talks about the fact 18:29 that the poorer class would raise up... against the frauds 18:34 and injustices that would be perpetrated 18:37 against them by the "one percent" 18:39 as a matter-of-fact it talks about that in the book of James 18:41 Chapter 5 and verse 1... it says, 18:44 "Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl 18:46 for your miseries that shall come upon you... 18:48 your garments are moth-eaten 18:51 and your gold and your silver is cankered... " 18:54 it goes on to say in verse 3... 18:55 and it talks about how they have heaped together 18:58 treasures for the last day... but then... 19:00 it's interesting... it says, 19:02 right after that... it says, 19:03 "Behold, the hire of the 19:06 laborers... which is of you... kept back by fraud, 19:08 they cry... and the cries of them 19:11 have reached unto the ears 19:13 of the Lord of Sabbath... " and the reason why 19:16 this is so interesting is... the Bible talks about 19:19 how the gold and the silver of the rich man 19:21 will be cankered... and scientifically 19:23 it's impossible for gold and silver 19:25 to canker... yet the Bible says, 19:27 that the riches of the rich men will canker... 19:32 Hmmm... hmmm... hmmm... hmmm... 19:34 and it's letting us know that something 19:36 that we wouldn't be able to predict 19:38 as being a reality will transpire 19:40 how a financial crisis will come 19:42 to the rich of our world and at the very same time 19:45 that they would be experiencing this financial crisis, 19:48 the poor that they've been defrauding 19:50 will rise up and cry against them 19:52 or protest against them... Hmmm... hmmm... 19:55 and that those protests would enter 19:57 into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth... 19:59 and that word "Sabaoth" in the Greek means 20:01 "the Lord of Hosts" or "the Lord of Armies" 20:03 and according to the book of Revelation... 20:05 Chapter 19 and verses 10 and 11 and 12... 20:08 the Lord of Armies is Jesus Christ... 20:11 but another title for "the Lord of Hosts" 20:14 or "the Lord of Armies" in the Bible 20:16 is Michael the archangel... because 20:18 archangel means "the Chief of the Host" 20:20 or the Chief of the Armies of Heaven... 20:22 and so... what this is letting us know 20:24 is that these protests are actually entering 20:27 into the ears of Michael... 20:28 this is the part of that which will agitate 20:31 the heart of Michael to stand up 20:33 as the Bible speaks of in the book of 20:34 Daniel Chapter 12 and verse 1, "a time of trouble 20:37 such as never was will ensue 20:39 after the time that Michael will stand up... " 20:42 and it's letting us know how close we are 20:45 to that time in which the probation of humanity 20:48 will come to a close, and the Bible lets us know 20:50 that all those whose names are found written 20:53 in the Lamb's Book of Life... will be sealed and kept 20:56 hidden for eternity in the bosom of Jesus Christ 20:59 but if our name is not on that book, 21:00 then we have something that we need to worry about... 21:03 Absolutely... so what would you tell the viewer now 21:06 who has no idea of anything about Jesus 21:10 or anything... what would you tell the viewer 21:12 to do in order to... 21:14 not forestall... because you can't put this off 21:18 but in order to deal with the coming turbulence and turmoil 21:22 and the turmoil that's already here... 21:25 what would you say to the viewer? 21:26 The Bible says, "Seek ye the Lord while He may 21:29 be found... call ye upon Him while He is near" 21:32 and that's exactly what I would say to the viewer 21:36 that is watching right here, because God is always standing 21:38 ready to save us... no matter what your current 21:41 situation may be... He doesn't care 21:44 if you are smoking... you're selling drugs... 21:47 whatever your situation may be 21:50 the Lord is trying to call you out of it... 21:52 He came to this world to save sinners... 21:55 when He called me... I had a pack of the drugs 22:00 that I had purchased... ready to sell... 22:02 and the Lord began to speak to my heart 22:04 and told me that He wanted me to begin 22:06 to live a different lifestyle, and so, if He can call me 22:10 in the midst of my sin... God is speaking to you 22:12 in the midst of your sin, and He's telling you to come up 22:15 He's telling you to come close to Him... 22:17 and as John says... in the book of... 22:19 John Chapter 1 and verse 29 "Behold the Lamb of God 22:23 which taketh away the sin of the world... " 22:25 all God is asking you to do is to take time... 22:29 study His word... seek His face... 22:30 fall on your knees and pray, tell the Lord and be very honest 22:34 and say, "Lord, I don't know who you are... 22:36 I don't know the truth... 22:37 I don't even know if I'm praying correctly right now... 22:40 but I want to know you and I want to be prepared... 22:43 speak to me Lord, manifest yourself to me... " 22:45 and God is faithful... to reveal Himself 22:48 to those who were seeking for Him... in truth... 22:51 Absolutely... The Bible says very clearly 22:53 "Ye shall seek me... and ye shall find me... 22:54 if you search for me with all your heart" 22:56 there it is... 22:57 Absolutely... I mean... and that's so good because 23:00 a lot of people just don't know what to do 23:03 or what steps to take... and the fact that... 23:06 we hadn't talked about that 23:07 the fact that the Lord called you out... 23:10 from street life... I'd like to talk just a... 23:12 we have a few more minutes, I'd like to talk to you 23:14 a little bit about that... 23:15 I know... sometimes... people don't like to look back 23:18 on the past... but we need to know 23:21 the journey that you've had because there are 23:23 several people watching that are either 23:25 involved in that or know people that are 23:28 involved in that... tell us a little bit about your 23:30 testimony and how you came to the Lord... 23:35 Well, when I was about 19... 23:37 I actually went and got into the Entertainment Industry... 23:41 and I started out in the Entertainment Industry 23:45 writing treatments for music videos 23:47 which is basically the storyline for music videos 23:49 I would hear the music... 23:50 just pretty much write a story that I thought went 23:54 well with the theme of the lyrics 23:55 and the... you know... the music... 23:57 Right... and from then... 23:59 my managers got me into writing some screenplays 24:03 and so I started writing some movies 24:04 for New Line Cinema... and I was developing 24:06 my music career at the same time... 24:08 because I was a rapper... and so... I was involved in all 24:13 the lifestyle that went along with that... 24:15 I was just really all about the fast life... 24:17 always partying... 24:18 sold drugs... you know... I smoked marijuana... 24:21 I drank all those types of things... 24:25 and as a result of... those practices... 24:29 I put myself in a position spiritually... 24:33 where the devil was able to enter into me... 24:37 Hmmm... hmmm... I was, what many people thought, 24:41 was a prolific writer because I pretty much 24:43 was like an order writer... 24:45 I could write a movie script in like 2 weeks... 24:47 I could write a movie script in 3 days... 24:50 I'd write pilots for TV Programs in 4 days... 24:53 and my managers were amazed at that... but... 24:57 I remember one day 24:59 I was at home 25:00 and I looked in the mirror, 25:01 and when I looked in the mirror I saw that 25:03 there was something in my eyes that wasn't me... 25:06 and I realized that whatever was present 25:09 with me... was that which was giving me 25:12 the ability to be so successful, you know, 25:15 with everything that I was doing in the streets 25:18 and in the Industry... and so I smiled because 25:20 I wanted to be successful, I wanted to be respected... 25:23 I wanted to be rich and famous etc... 25:25 but, you know, the Lord... in round-about ways... 25:29 ways that I can't even recall in my mind 25:32 don't even know of... He was evidently speaking 25:35 to my heart... because... fast forwarding... 25:38 I'll never forget one day... I went up to an 25:41 Uptown Spanish Harlem Dykeman Posting Academy 25:44 I'm sure some people out there know what I'm talking about, 25:46 Yeah... yeah... I lived in New York too... 25:50 and I went to go, you know, pick up some drugs 25:53 from my supplier... and as I had those drugs, 25:57 on my person... I did something that I never 26:00 would do... and I went to the park 26:02 and I rolled up a blunt to go smoke 26:04 and all of a sudden... as I went to start smoking... 26:06 the Lord just started speaking to me 26:09 in my head... I had a "Damascus Road Experience" 26:11 and the Lord said, 26:12 "Chris, you need to stop selling these drugs... " 26:14 and I just said, "Lord, I need to stop selling these drugs" 26:16 He said, "Chris, you need to stop smoking" 26:18 and I said, "Lord, I need to stop smoking" 26:20 He said, "Chris, you need to stop writing the movies... " 26:22 and I said, "Lord, I need to stop writing these movies. " 26:25 He just kept on going... going, telling me what I needed 26:26 to stop doing... and He said, 26:28 "You need to go to school and become a preacher... " 26:29 and so I said, "I'm going to go to school and become a preacher" 26:31 so, that day, 26:35 when I got home... one of my friends 26:38 that always was with me in the Studio... 26:40 gave me a call and asked me what I was going 26:42 to be doing that evening... and I told him, 26:44 "Hey, I'm not going to go to the Studio anymore... 26:46 I'm not writing movies anymore... 26:48 I'm not doing the music anymore... 26:49 not smoking anymore... I'm getting ready 26:50 to go to School to become a Preacher... " 26:52 he said, "What!" 26:53 he said, "I was in the studio with you last night... 26:56 we were smoking together last night... " 26:58 he said, "I'm not going to work, I'm coming over... " 27:02 and you're going to tell me what happened... 27:04 You see, God can take you... 27:07 in whatever state you're in... 27:09 and change your life... just like that... 27:12 I wish we had more time, I mean... now... 27:16 the time just flew by... 27:18 I wish... we had more time... 27:19 but thank you so much for sharing what God has done... 27:23 and thank you so much for sharing 27:25 about these contemporary issues that we have... 27:28 will you come back to Urban Report? 27:30 Oh, whenever you'll have me... 27:31 Oh, that would be great, 27:33 that would be great... thank you so much 27:35 may God bless you... 27:36 I'm gong to have you back... 27:38 All right... All right... 27:39 Chris gave us so much to think about... 27:42 you know, the Bible, in Matthew 24 27:45 teaches that many will come in Christ's name 27:48 and will deceive many... we also know that 27:51 all who live Godly... will suffer persecution... 27:54 but we have the power through the Holy Spirit 27:56 to overcome sin... 27:58 He will never leave us nor forsake us 28:00 and He'll never let you down. 28:02 That's all for today's Program God bless... |
