TEST.
00:01:01.26\00:01:01.49
S.  ITION THEN AND ONLY THEN
SITTING AT THE FEET OF JESUS
WILL WE REALLY UNDERSTAND THE
00:01:41.56\00:02:01.15
GREAT PLAN. TONIGHT WE HAVE THE
WORD OF GOD. WE WANT TO FOCUS
UPON IT. WE WILL FOCUS ON
00:02:01.15\00:02:06.05
SALVATION. I'M LOOKING
FORWARD TO IT. HOW ABOUT YOU?
00:02:06.05\00:02:08.96
>> IT IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT
TOPIC. IT'S SUCH AN IMPORTANT
00:02:08.96\00:02:14.66
TOPIC. WE ARE READY TO GO. >>
WILL YOU INTRODUCE OUR BROTHERS
00:02:14.66\00:02:22.10
AND SISTERS? >> THESE ARE LIKE
MY BROTHERS. THIS IS PASTOR JOHN
LOM KANG, THE HEAD OF WORLD
00:02:22.10\00:02:39.25
EVANGELISM AND OUR PASTOR.
HE HAS BEEN MY FRIEND AND -- >>
00:02:39.25\00:02:47.66
SALVATION. THIS IS THE ONE
ASPECT EVER THE MISSION OF
JESUS. THIS IS THE HIGHEST
00:02:47.66\00:02:54.44
ASPECT OF THE MISSION OF JESUS.
SO MANY PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND
THE BROAD SCOPE. WHEN YOU SAY IS
00:02:54.44\00:03:00.71
"DO YOU WANT TO BE SAVED?" WE'LL
FIND OUT, FROM WHAT AND HOW. I'M
00:03:00.71\00:03:06.45
EXCITED ABOUT IT. YOU MIGHT
HIT "RECORD" NOW, BY THE WAY. >>
00:03:06.45\00:03:17.73
YES, INDEED. >> THIS IS MY
BROTHER, PASTOR KENNY SHELTON.
THEY ARE THE CODIRECTORS OF THE
00:03:17.73\00:03:30.51
BEHOLD THE LAMB MINISTRIES. YOU
KNOW I WOULD GET THAT IN. ALWAYS
GOOD TO SAY THE WORD OF GOD
00:03:30.51\00:03:40.38
AROUND GOD'S PEOPLE AND GET SOME
WARMTH. I FEEL SOME WARMTH HERE.
00:03:40.38\00:03:44.12
I FEEL THE SPIRIT. ONE LINE THAT
WAS INTERESTING, IF YOU
UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE TALKING
00:03:44.12\00:03:50.13
ABOUT. TO UNDERSTAND THE VALUE
OF WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. WE
MUST UNDERSTAND -- THINK ABOUT
00:03:50.13\00:03:57.97
IT. WE MUST UNDERSTAND THE COST.
TO UNDERSTAND THE VALUE. WE MUST
UNDERSTAND THE COST.
00:03:57.97\00:04:01.24
TODAY IS ABOUT SALVATION.
THAT SET ME GOING, PASTOR JOHN.
00:04:01.24\00:04:13.05
>> I'M SURE THEY ARE LISTENING
TO. THEY WOULDN'T WANT TO MISS
00:04:13.05\00:04:16.99
IT. THE MORE I BEGIN TO STUDY
FOR THIS PROGRAM, THE MORE I
THOUGHT, BOY, YOU COULD GET SO
00:04:16.99\00:04:27.76
DEEP. IN FACT, I BELIEVE THIS IS
GOING TO BE ONE OF THE TOPICS WE
STUDY THROUGHOUT ETERNITY. THERE
00:04:27.76\00:04:38.04
IS SO MUCH TO IT. MUCH MORE,
LIKE DANNY SAID, THAN WE'LL EVER
COMPREHEND. IT'S A FOCUS. WE
00:04:38.04\00:04:40.18
WANT TO FOCUS ON TRUTH. PTSZ THE
TRUTH ABOUT SALVATION AND WHAT
AN INCREDIBLE GIFT -- AND IT'S A
00:04:40.18\00:04:48.32
GIFT. >> IT IS. ABSOLUTELY. >>
THAT'S WHAT I CAN'T WRAP MY MIND
00:04:48.32\00:04:51.25
AROUND. I LOOK AT MYSELF
INCLUDED. MAYBE IT IS LIKE THE
CHIEF SINNER, BUT TO SAY HOW
00:04:51.25\00:05:01.86
COULD HE POSSIBLY BOTHER WITH
ANY OF IT. WHEN THE FLOOD CAME,
WHY DIDN'T HE WIPE EVERYBODY
00:05:01.86\00:05:07.30
OFF. HE DIDN'T. HE DIDN'T GIVE
UP ON IT. BUT I'M THANKFUL THAT
GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE, THERE
00:05:07.30\00:05:19.78
IS NO BEGINNING AND NO END. HE
SEES LITERALLY SO FAR AHEAD. HE
KNEW THIS PLAN OF SALVATION
00:05:19.78\00:05:29.52
WOULD BE WHAT WE NEEDED WITH
ETERNITY WITH HIS CREATION. HE
HAS GIVEN US A FREE GIFT. ALL WE
00:05:29.52\00:05:34.76
HAVE TO DO IS ACCEPT IT TONIGHT.
WE'VE BEEN BUSY. YOU AND ME,
WE'VE BEEN BUSY ON TWO DIFFERENT
00:05:34.76\00:05:40.14
THINGS. OTHER THAN THE FACT OF
THE KIDNEY STONE. SHE WAS
WORKING ON -- WE'LL TALK ABOUT
00:05:40.14\00:05:47.38
IT IN A MINUTE. THE YouTube
THING YOU ARE DOING. I'LL GIVE
THIS TESTIMONY FIRST.
00:05:47.38\00:05:52.78
SEVERAL YEARS AGO WE WERE IN
FLORIDA, I HAD A BOUT WITH A
KIDNEY STONE. WENT TO SEVERAL
00:05:52.78\00:06:00.32
HOSPITALS. TOOK TEN DAYS OR
SOMETHING BEFORE WE GOT RID OF
THEM. NO FUN AT ALL.
00:06:00.32\00:06:05.36
THEN I FOUND OUT THROUGH OTHER
TESTS IT, WELL YOUR LEFT KIDNEY
HAS FOUR OF THEM, IT WAS A TWO,
00:06:05.36\00:06:16.77
THEN A THREE, THEN A FOUR. IT'S
GROWN. THEY SAID THAT WILL BE NO
FUN. ANY TIME YOU GET ON AN
00:06:16.77\00:06:31.09
AIRPLANE AND YOUR BACK HURTS
YOU, YOU THINK, HUH-UH, I
WOULDN'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN
00:06:31.09\00:06:42.83
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR IN AN
AIRPLANE. TAKE THIS THE RIGHT
WAY I SAY IT. WHEN YOU HURT BAD
00:06:42.83\00:06:46.97
ENOUGH, LIKE MY SAID WOULD SAY,
YOU LOSE YOUR MANHOOD BECAUSE
YOU'RE LIKE, OW, YOU FORGET
00:06:46.97\00:06:55.98
TRYING TO BE TOUGH. THIS IS
TERRIBLE. IT TAKES YOUR BREATH
AWAY. I THOUGHT ABOUT IT. A FEW
00:06:55.98\00:07:05.45
DAYS AGO, MAYBE A WEEK OR SO
AGO, PAIN, I STARTED GETTING
PAIN. IT GOT WORSE AND WORSE.
00:07:05.45\00:07:10.49
PRETTY SOON IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE
PUSHING THEIR FIST IN YOUR
KIDNEY AREA AND NOT LETTING UP.
00:07:10.49\00:07:16.26
I KNEW WHAT I HAD. I CALLED MY
DOCTOR. HE SAID TAKE A LOT OF
FLUIDS. I WENT FOR TWO DAYS AT
00:07:16.26\00:07:24.24
LEAST OR SO. SO I DIDN'T GO BACK
TO EVEN HAVING IT CHECKED OR CAT
SCAN. I KNEW THEY WERE THERE.
00:07:24.24\00:07:30.35
YOU CAN PRETTY WELL TELL WHEN
IT'S THERE. IT WAS HURTING SO
BAD. SABBATH ATH AFTERNOON, I
00:07:30.35\00:07:39.32
TOLD THE DOCTOR, LISTEN, IT
MIGHT BE BETTER TO GO IN. YOU
MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO PASS IT.
00:07:39.32\00:07:49.73
THEY WILL GET THE YOU AREOLOGY
APPOINTMENT AND START WITH CAT
SCANS AND ALL THAT. I WAS WORN
00:07:49.73\00:07:54.00
OUT FROM FIGHTING IT. I SAID I'M
SO TIRED. SHE SAID, LAY DOWN
BEFORE YOU GO. I LAID DOWN IN
00:07:54.00\00:08:07.88
THE BED. I SAID ABOUT 2:30, I'M
SURE SABBATH EVENING, YOU WON'T
BE ANXIOUS TO DO IT WHATEVER
00:08:07.88\00:08:10.59
THEY HAVE TO DO, TO DO IT. I
SAID, OKAY. I LAID DOWN. I
STARTED TO SAY A PRAYER. I SAID
00:08:10.59\00:08:15.42
I DON'T FEEL RIGHT ABOUT THIS.
LAYING DOWN. SO I MANAGED TO GET
00:08:15.42\00:08:18.96
UP ON MY KNEES. I PRAYED. I
SAID, LORD, LITERALLY, WHY NOT
00:08:18.96\00:08:26.67
ME. MY DAD WOULD SAY WHY WOULD
THIS HAPPEN TO ME, JOHN? WHY NOT
00:08:26.67\00:08:34.54
YOU. I SAID, LORD'S WILL BE
DONE. I LAID DOWN AND SHUT MY
EYES AND ACTUALLY FELL ASLEEP.
00:08:34.54\00:08:42.28
30 MINUTES LATER I WOKE UP AT
2:30. I SAID, I PACKED MY DUFFEL
BAG TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL.
00:08:42.28\00:08:50.43
I GOT UP AND HMM, I DON'T FEEL
ANYTHING. I MOVED AROUND AND
THEN I STARTED TIPTOEING AROUND
00:08:50.43\00:08:59.03
-- THE PRESSURE IS GONE.
THE PAIN IS GONE. TOTALLY GONE.
00:08:59.03\00:09:06.57
>> WHEW. >> I
DIDN'T KNOW, I HAD NO IDEA.
00:09:06.57\00:09:09.71
I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING LITERALLY.
UP TO NOW, WHAT WAS IT, LAST
NIGHT OR THE NIGHT BEFORE, I
00:09:09.71\00:09:26.96
WENT -- THEY WANTED TO DO AN
ULTRASOUND ABOUT 8:30 AT NIGHT.
WE GO IN. THE LADY, SHE WOULDN'T
00:09:26.96\00:09:33.34
TELL ME UNTIL THE NEXT DAY, THE
DOCTOR SAID YOUR STONES ARE
GONE. YOU DON'T HAVE ANY STONE.
00:09:33.34\00:09:42.08
BOTH KIDNEYS ARE CLEAR. I DIDN'T
EVEN KNOW HOW THEY LEFT. THERE
WAS NO EVIDENCE THEY LEFT THE
00:09:42.08\00:09:47.42
BODY. THEY SAID YOU ARE TOTALLY
CLEAR. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY
00:09:47.42\00:09:53.62
KIDNEY STONES. >> HALLELUJAH. >>
IT'S OKAY, I'VE BEEN THROUGH IT,
I STILL GIVE GOD THE CREDIT.
00:09:53.62\00:10:00.90
SOMETIMES IT'S PLEASING WHAT HE
WILL DO IT. DURING ALL OF THAT,
SHE'S HAVING HER OWN WEEK.
00:10:00.90\00:10:07.40
SHE IS WORKING, WORKING,
WORKING. TELL US ABOUT WHAT YOU
00:10:07.40\00:10:12.77
ARE DOING. >> I'M SUPER EXCITED
BECAUSE I DID A LITTLE
MINISERIES FOR YouTube ON THE
00:10:12.77\00:10:24.22
BOOK. >> THE NEW BOOK. >> YES,
YES. SO I DID A FOUR-PART LITTLE
MINISERIES ON FOUR DIFFERENT
00:10:24.22\00:10:33.16
TITLES OF GOD. IT WAS A LOT
OF WORK. I'M REALLY EXCITED.
00:10:33.16\00:10:38.13
WE HAVE A LITTLE SNEAK PEEK FOR
YOU SO PEOPLE CAN KIND OF SEE
WHAT IT'S ABOUT. JUST A SECOND
00:10:38.13\00:10:45.97
AND WE'LL PLAY IT. I WAS
THANKFUL TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS.
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WON'T READ.
00:10:45.97\00:10:49.94
AND WHO WILL WATCH YOUTUBE. SO I
THOUGHT MAYBE I CAN JUST GET
SOME OF THIS INFORMATION TO
00:10:49.94\00:10:58.29
THEM. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL LOOK
AT THE BOOK. EVEN IF THEY DON'T,
THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GET
00:10:58.29\00:11:07.83
SOMETHING FROM THIS LESSON. I'M
EXCITED. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT
THE SNEAK PEEK THEY PUT TOGETHER
00:11:07.83\00:11:14.44
FOR US. >> HI, I'M YVONNE
SHELTON, WELCOME TO THE SERIES
OF THE NAMES OF GOD. IN THIS
00:11:14.44\00:11:28.62
SERIES I'LL SHARE EXCERPTS FROM
MY BOOK, GLIMPSE OF HIS GLORY.
WE'LL GO ON A SPECIAL JOURNEY,
00:11:28.62\00:11:40.46
PROBABLY UNLIKE ANY YOU HAVE
BEEN ON. I PROMISE YOU BY THE
END OF OUR JOURNEY WE'LL HAVE A
00:11:40.46\00:11:49.74
DEEPER, RICHER KNOWLEDGE OF WHO
GOD REALLY IS AND HIS LOVE FOR
YOU. HOW? IN EACH VIDEO WE'LL
00:11:49.74\00:11:57.75
EXPLORE A NEW NAME OR TITLE OF
GOD THAT DEMONSTRATES VARIOUS
ASPECTS OF HIS PERSONALITY AND
00:11:57.75\00:12:15.13
CHARACTER. NOW, MANY OF THESE
NAMES MAY BE FOREIGN TO YOU. YOU
WILL LEARN HOW TO PRONOUNCE THEM
00:12:15.13\00:12:28.41
AND WHAT THEY MEAN. WE'LL CHECK
OUT THE NEEM, SHARE WHERE YOU
CAN FIND T ITS BIBLICAL CONTEXT
00:12:28.41\00:12:43.39
AND THE STORY OF SOMEONE CHANGED
BY GOD AS HE MANIFESTED A
CERTAIN ASPECT OF HIS CHARACTER
00:12:43.39\00:12:48.56
IN THAT PERSON'S LIFE. THEN
WE'LL DO A PRAYER THAT YOU CAN
PRAY ALOUD USING THAT SPECIFIC
00:12:48.56\00:12:57.47
TITLE. FOR EXAMPLE, IN OUR FIRST
GLIMPSE, WE'LL LEARN ABOUT HOW
EL OWE HEME INTERVENED IN CHRIS'
00:12:57.47\00:13:13.39
LIFE. HE WOULD WRITE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF SOME SUBSTANCE.
WILL YOU FIND OUT HOW EL OHIM
00:13:13.39\00:13:20.00
GOT CHRIS' ATTENTION AND TURNED
CHRIS' LIFE AROUND. ARE YOU
READY? ELOHIM. >> I'M SO
00:13:20.00\00:13:32.07
EXCITED. ONCE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
EXPOSED TO THESE DIFFERENT NAMES
AND TITLES OF GOD YOUR LIFE
00:13:32.07\00:13:37.98
CHANGES. BECAUSE YOU REALIZE WHO
HE REALLY IS. SATAN IS ALWAYS
TRYING TO DISTORT THE CHARACTER
00:13:37.98\00:13:55.86
OF GOD. BY REALLY SEEING WHO HE
IS THROUGH THESE DIFFERENT NAMES
AND TITLES, WE CAN REALLY
00:13:55.86\00:14:11.51
ASCERTAIN HIS CHARACTER, HIS
PERSONALITY, HIS LOVE FOR US.
THE WHOLE THING BOILS DOWN TO IT
00:14:11.51\00:14:15.55
HOW MUCH HE LOVES US. AND HOW HE
HAS MADE THIS WONDERFUL PLAN FOR
US. >> ARE THERE ANY NAMES OF
00:14:15.55\00:14:32.37
GOD THAT YOU STUDIED THAT YOU
PUT IN HERE -- OF COURSE YOU
SPENT A LONG TIME, MEAFN, MANY
00:14:32.37\00:14:47.68
MONTHS OF WORK, THAT WOULD
REALLY SPEAK TO IT SALVATION? >>
WELL, YES. JESUS NAMES IS
00:14:47.68\00:14:54.92
YESHWA. THAT'S HEBREW. THAT'S
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS AS GABRIELLE
GABE GABLE WENT TO JOSEPH. HE
00:14:54.92\00:15:14.38
SAID YOU WILL CALL HIS NAME
JESUS, WILL YOU CALL HIS NAME
YESHUA. IN HIS HOME HE WASN'T
00:15:14.38\00:15:19.88
CALLED JESUS, HE WAS CALLED
YESHUA. THAT COMES FROM -- WHICH
IS JOSHUA, WHICH IS HOW WE SAY
00:15:19.88\00:15:21.58
JOSHUA. THAT IS THE WORD FOR IT.
I HAVE IT HERE. I DON'T WANT TO
GIVE THE WRONG INFORMATION. THAT
00:15:21.58\00:15:28.02
IS THE SHORTENED FORM OF WYH,
THE FOUR LETTERS FOR WHO GOD IS,
HIS PERSONAL DEITY NAME. IT'S
00:15:28.02\00:15:40.54
CALLED THE TETRA -- YEHO IS THE
FIRST PART AND SHUA MEANS "TO
DELIVER" TO RESCUE. THAT IS
00:15:40.54\00:15:48.34
YESHUA. HE IS THE ONE WHO SAVES.
THAT IS WHO JESUS IS. IT IS
KNOWING THESE NAMES MAKES A BIG
00:15:48.34\00:16:02.02
DIFFERENCE IN HOW WE RELATE TO
GOD, I THINK. >> I LOVE NOT ONLY
WHEN YOU GIVE THE NAME, BUT YOU
00:16:02.02\00:16:09.16
GIVE ILLUSTRATIONS AND YOU
ACTUALLY INTERVIEW DIFFERENT
PEOPLE WHO FIT CERTAIN ASPECTS
00:16:09.16\00:16:12.33
OF THE NAMES OF GOD. OH, THIS IS
WHAT CHANGED MY LIFE. AND I
THINK WE HAVE SOMEBODY LIKE THAT
00:16:12.33\00:16:21.78
ON THE PHONE WITH US TONIGHT. >>
WE DO. WE DO. WE ARE GOING TO
HEAR FROM CHRIS. I MENTIONED
00:16:21.78\00:16:31.52
CHRIS IN THE TRAILER THERE. AND
THE NAME ASSOCIATED WITH CHRIS'
TESTIMONY IS ELOHIM. ELOHIM IS
00:16:31.52\00:16:48.80
THE CREATOR GOD. HE NEVER STOPS
CREATING. BECAUSE HE CONTINUES
TO RECREATE US. WHILE WE THINK
00:16:48.80\00:16:52.71
OF HIM AS THE CREATOR WHO DID
ALL OF THIS IN SIX DAYS AND ON
THE SEVENTH DAY HE RESTED FROM
00:16:52.71\00:16:55.94
ALL OF HIS WORK. HE STILL
CONTINUED TO RECREATE US IN HIS
IMAGE. SO JUST LIKE HE SAID, LET
00:16:55.94\00:17:02.88
THERE BE LIGHT. SO HE SAYS THAT
INTO OUR DARKENED LIVES. LET
THERE BE LIGHT. HE SEPARATES THE
00:17:02.88\00:17:07.19
LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS. HE
SEPARATES OUR SINFUL WAYS FROM
THE LIGHT. THAT IS WHO HE IS. HE
00:17:07.19\00:17:13.86
IS ELHOHIM. CHRIS HUDSON WILL
SHARE HIS TESTIMONY. HIS
TESTIMONY, TO ME, SHOWED HOW GOD
00:17:13.86\00:17:22.44
CONTINUED TO RECREATE HIM JUST
LIKE HE CONTINUES TO RECREATE
US. >> CHRIS, CAN YOU HEAR US?
00:17:22.44\00:17:26.47
WE CAN'T HEAR HIM IN THE STUDIO.
>> YES. >> HOW YOU DOING? >> I'M
DOING WELL. HOW IS EVERYBODY
00:17:26.47\00:17:39.42
OVER THERE? >> MY DAD USED TO
SAY IF WE WERE ANY BETTER, WE
COULDN'T STAND IT. THINK ABOUT
00:17:39.42\00:17:41.46
THAT NOR A WHILE. IT MEANS WE
ARE HAPPY IN THE LORD. IT
DOESN'T MEAN EVERYTHING IS GOING
00:17:41.46\00:17:57.54
OUR WAY BUT IT MEANS WE ARE
HAPPY IN THE LORD. I'M LISTENING
TO THE CONVERSATION. I WISH I
00:17:57.54\00:18:03.04
HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART
OF THE WHOLE FOUNDATION
DISCUSSION. I WILL DO MY PART.
00:18:03.04\00:18:13.22
>> YES OH, YES. MAKE SURE THAT
YOU ARE PART OF THAT DISCUSSION.
YOU HAVE A LOT TO BRING TO THE
00:18:13.22\00:18:24.27
TABLE. WOULD YOU SHARE WITH OUR
AUDIENCE YOUR TESTIMONY AND HOW
YOU CAME TO THE LORD. >> SURE. I
00:18:24.27\00:18:43.32
GREW UP IN NEW YORK. I GREW UP
IN A SEVENTH DAY DIVERSE
ADVENTIST HOUSEHOLD. THEY HAD A
00:18:43.32\00:18:53.46
SPECIFIC FOLKS WITH OUR LIFE.
THAT WAS WE HAD A RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE LORD. WE HAD EVENING
00:18:53.46\00:19:00.87
WORSHIP, ETC. I GOT AWAY FROM
THAT AT AN EARLY AGE, 17 YEARS
OLD. FROM 15, I REALLY GOT DEEP
00:19:00.87\00:19:05.77
IN INTO THE HIP-HOP CULTURE. BY
THE TIME I WAS 17 YEARS OLD,
EVERYWHERE I WENT PEOPLE KNEW ME
00:19:05.77\00:19:12.01
FOR HIP-HOP MUSIC. I WENT OFF TO
COLLEGE EARLY. I GOT PUT OUT OF
COLLEGE EARLY BECAUSE I HAD TOO
00:19:12.01\00:19:19.42
MUCH FUN AT COLLEGE. AS I WAS ON
MY WAY BACK TO NEW YORK, I PUT
IT IN MY HEART I WOULD FOCUS ON
00:19:19.42\00:19:27.50
ACTUALLY BEING SUCCESSFUL IN
THIS DREAM I ALWAYS HAD AND THAT
WAS TO BE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT
00:19:27.50\00:19:34.24
INDUSTRY. I PUT ALL OF THAT
EFFORT INTO THAT. WITHIN A SHORT
SPACE OF TIME I WAS ABLE TO HOOK
00:19:34.24\00:19:39.97
UP WITH FRIENDS ALREADY DEEP IN
THE BUSINESS. THEY WERE WORKING
WITH SOME VERY -- QUITE A FEW
00:19:39.97\00:19:46.15
PLATINUM ARTISTS. SO THEY GAVE
ME A SHOT. THEY LIKED THE WAY
THAT I WAS DOING MY MUSIC. THEY
00:19:46.15\00:19:50.02
LIKED THE SONGS I WAS WRITING.
THEY THOUGHT I MIGHT BE GOOD AT
WRITING. I GOT TO WRITE SOME
00:19:50.02\00:19:53.89
TREATMENTS IN MUSIC VIDEOS. ALL
OF THOSE THINGS WENT QUITE WELL.
THEN ONE DAY ONE OF THE
00:19:53.89\00:20:00.76
GENTLEMEN FUNCTIONING AS MY
MANAGER, HE CALLED ME INTO THE
OFFICE. HE SAID, HEY, CHRIS, HOW
00:20:00.76\00:20:13.04
WOULD YOU LIKE TO WRITE A SCRIPT
FOR A MOVIE? I SAID, OF COURSE.
19, 20 YEARS OLD. HE TOLD ME,
00:20:13.04\00:20:23.82
OKAY. GO HOME. GET BACK ME BY
8:00 TOMORROW NIGHT. I SAID
"8:00 TOMORROW NIGHT?" HE SAID
00:20:23.82\00:20:28.66
WE DON'T HAVE A WRITER FOR THE
PROJECT. GO HOME, SEE WHAT YOU
CAN DO. BRING IT BACK 8:00
00:20:28.66\00:20:31.73
TOMORROW NIGHT. SO I LEFT FROM
THE OFFICE. I WENT DIRECTLY TO
THE SUPERMARKET. I BOUGHT A CAN
00:20:31.73\00:20:38.03
OF COFFEE. I DON'T DO DOUGHNUTS
BUT AS TO WHAT I DID AT THAT
POINT IN TIME. I STARTED WRITING
00:20:38.03\00:20:47.04
AT MY DESK. AS IT STARTED TAKING
-- I TOOK TWO OR THREE HAND
STLES OF COFFEE AND I ATE THAT
00:20:47.04\00:21:07.30
COFFEE. I KEPT WRITING AND I
KEPT WRITING AND I KEPT WRITING.
THE NEXT DAY BEFORE 8:00, I WENT
00:21:07.30\00:21:11.23
INTO THE OFFICE I DROPPED A 200
PLUS PAGE SCRIPT ON MY MANAGER'S
DESK. HE SAID "WHAT IS THIS?" I
00:21:11.23\00:21:20.98
SAID IT'S THE SCRIPT YOU ASKED
ME HE FOR. HE WAS SHOCKED. HE
SAID, IS IT ANY GOOD? I SAID I
00:21:20.98\00:21:29.25
HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. I SAID,
"I DON'T KNOW." THEY CALLED ME
BACK IN ABOUT A WEEK AND SAID
00:21:29.25\00:21:37.93
THE SCRIPT IS GOOD. THEY STARTED
PASSING OFF DIFFERENT MAJOR
MOVIE HOUSES. IT WAS MY FIRST
00:21:37.93\00:21:44.30
MOVIE THAT GOT RELEASED INTO THE
THEATERS WITH BLUE LINE SINEMA.
FROM THAT POINT I STARTED
00:21:44.30\00:21:55.04
GETTING MULTITUDES OF
OPPORTUNITIES TO WRITE SCRIPTS
AND PILOTS FOR A LOT OF KNOWN
00:21:55.04\00:21:57.38
ACTORS OR MUSIC, ENTERTAINERS. I
DON'T SAY ANY NAMES. YOU WOULD
BE FAMILIAR WITH WHO THEY WERE.
00:21:57.38\00:22:13.60
DURING THAT TIME OF MY LIFE, I
WAS REALLY -- LIKE I SAID
EARLIER, DEEP INTO THE HIP-HOP
00:22:13.60\00:22:19.47
CULTURE. ONE PART OF THE KULTURE
IS MARIJUANA. I SMOKED COPIOUS
AMOUNTS OF MARIJUANA AND I SOLD
00:22:19.47\00:22:25.17
QUITE A BIT OF MARIJUANA. I WAS
IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A HAITIAN
YOUNG LADY. I WOULD SPEND A LOT
00:22:25.17\00:22:35.35
OF TIME AT HER HOME. HER FATHER
HAPPENED TO BE VERY VAFD IN
VOODOO. HE HAD LOT OF IMPLEMENTS
00:22:35.35\00:22:52.43
AROUND THE HOUSE, ETC. ALL TYPES
OF THINGS IN THAT HOME. I WOULD
SPEND TIME OVER THERE SMOKING
00:22:52.43\00:22:55.54
WEED AND WRITING ON THESE
SCRIPTS. I WOULD BE WRITING
MOVIE SCRIPTS TWO WEEKS AT A
00:22:55.54\00:23:07.65
TIME. A WEEK AT A TIME. DOESN'T
MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IF YOU ARE
FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS, IT
00:23:07.65\00:23:17.86
USUALLY TAKES, AFTER YOU GET A
GOOD TREATMENT DOWN, WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT SIX WEEKS AND OF
00:23:17.86\00:23:30.54
COURSE, IT WILL BE LONGER THAN
THAT. I WAS JUST KNOCKING THESE
THINGS OUT. WHETHER IT WAS A
00:23:30.54\00:23:46.42
WEEK, TWO WEEKS, IT WAS JUST
GOING. I JUST THOUGHT I HAD IT
MADE. I NEVER FORGET I WAS AT
00:23:46.42\00:23:51.19
HOME ONE DAY. I LOOKED IN THE
MIRROR. I COULD DISTINCTLY SEE
WHEN I LOOKED IN MY EYES THERE
00:23:51.19\00:23:57.80
WAS A PRESENCE THAT WAS PRESENT
THERE WITH ME THAT WAS NOT ME. I
SMILE. THE REASON I SMILED WAS
00:23:57.80\00:24:03.17
BECAUSE IN THAT MOMENT IN TIME I
REALLY DID REALIZE WHATEVER WAS
PRESENT WITH ME, IT WAS WHAT WAS
00:24:03.17\00:24:10.11
GIVING ME THE ABILITY, ENABLING
ME TO BE SO SUCCESSFUL WITH
WRITING THESE SCRIPTS. DOING
00:24:10.11\00:24:17.12
EVERYTHING ELSE I WAS DOING WITH
MY LIFE AT THAT TIME. 21 YEARS
OLD. WRITERS GUILD OF AMERICA.
00:24:17.12\00:24:28.26
I'M IN ALL THE CIRCLES I NEEDED
TO BE TO GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
AT ONE POINT I CAME TO REALIZE
00:24:28.26\00:24:34.94
WHAT I THOUGHT I HAD CONTROL
OVER HAD CONTROL OF ME. I WANTED
LIBERTY FROM THIS ENTITY THAT I
00:24:34.94\00:24:39.47
REALIZED WAS INHABITING ME. I
DIDN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT LIBERTY
WAS. I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO OBTAIN
00:24:39.47\00:24:43.21
THE LIBERTY. I DIDN'T WANT TO
TALK ABOUT THAT WITH THOSE IN MY
INNER CIRCLE BECAUSE THAT WASN'T
00:24:43.21\00:24:50.55
SOMETHING THAT WAS PART OF THE
CONVERSATION. I WILL NEVER
FORGET, I HAD A YOUNG GUY
00:24:50.55\00:24:57.33
SELLING DRUGS FOR ME. I WENT AND
PICKED UP SOME MONEY FROM HIM
AND I WENT TO GO TO MY SUPPLY TO
00:24:57.33\00:25:12.54
PICK UP MORE DRUGS. YOU KNOW THE
PROCESS. PUT IT ON THE STREET. I
WAS IN UPTOWN, THE SPANISH
00:25:12.54\00:25:30.76
HARLEM. I'LL NEVER FORGET. I HAD
ALL OF THESE DRUGS ON ME. DY
SOMETHING THAT WAS QUITE
00:25:30.76\00:25:37.33
FOOLISH. MY MIND WAS DISTURBED.
I WENT TO A NEARBY PARK, A
PARTICULAR PARK. I SAT DOWN ON
00:25:37.33\00:25:47.78
ONE OF THE BENCHES AT THE
BASKETBALL COURT AND STARTED
ROLLING UP MARIJUANA. I LIT IT.
00:25:47.78\00:25:52.05
I WENT TO SMOKE. AS I PUT IT TO
MY MOUTH AND WAS GOING TO TAKE A
DRAG, I NEVER FORGET, I HEARD
00:25:52.05\00:26:02.62
THIS VOICE SPEAKING TO ME. VERY
DISTINCTLY SAYING, CHRIS, YOU
KNOW YOU NEED TO STOP SELLING
00:26:02.62\00:26:09.16
DRUGS. I RESPONDED IN THE
AFFIRMATIVE. "I NEED TO STOP
SELLING DRUGS. CHRIS, YOU NEED
00:26:09.16\00:26:28.18
TO STOP SMOKING. "YOU KNOW, I
NEED TO STOP SMOKING. " CHRIS,
YOU NEED TO STOP WRITING MOVIES.
00:26:28.18\00:26:31.42
"I'M DONE WRITING MOVIES. >>
CHRIS, YOU NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL
TO BECOME A PREACHER. "I'M
00:26:31.42\00:26:37.76
GROWING TO SCHOOL TO BECOME A
PREACHER." THE LAST THING THAT I
WAS THINKING ABOUT PRIOR TO ME
00:26:37.76\00:26:44.47
HAVING THIS EXPERIENCE IN THE
PARK. WHAT WERE THE CONVICTION
THAT CAME UPON ME, I DON'T KNOW
00:26:44.47\00:27:07.49
EXACTLY WHERE ALL OF THIS IS
COMING FROM. BUT I HAVE THE
CONVICTION VERY STRONG IN ME
00:27:07.49\00:27:17.30
THAT I DID EXACTLY WHAT I WAS
PROMPTED TO THAT I WOULD
EXPERIENCE THE LIBERTY I WAS
00:27:17.30\00:27:33.45
SEEKING. SO I WENT HOME AND I
TOLD MY FATHER I'M GOING TO COOL
TO BECOME A PREACHER. HE ALMOST
00:27:33.45\00:27:36.58
DROPPED DEAD AND HAD A HEART
ATTACK ON THE SPOT. HE COULDN'T
BELIEVE IT. ONE OF MY FRIENDS
00:27:36.58\00:27:41.26
GAVE ME A CALL AND ASKED ME WA
WAS GOING TO BE THE DRILL FOR
THAT NIGHT. I SAID, LISTEN, I'M
00:27:41.26\00:27:54.84
NOT GOING TO THE STUDIO. I'M
DONE WITH THE INDUSTRY. I'M
GOING TO SCHOOL TO BECOME A
00:27:54.84\00:28:04.18
PREACHER. HE SAID WHAT? I'M
COMING OVER AND YOU'LL TELL ME
WA HAPPENED. SURE ENOUGH, HE
00:28:04.18\00:28:16.19
CAME OVER AND I TOLD HIM ABOUT
WHAT TRANSPIRED EARLIER THAT
DAY. LONG STORY SHORT. EVERYONE
00:28:16.19\00:28:34.94
IN MY INNER CIRCLE BECAME
BAPTIZED MEMBERS OF THE SEVENTH
DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH. THEY KNEW
00:28:34.94\00:28:41.68
THAT CONTRACTS WERE BEING
PRESENTED TO PEE AND THAT WAS MY
MAIN FOCUS, NOTHING ELSE REALLY
00:28:41.68\00:28:47.56
MADE ANY DIFFERENCE TO ME IN MY
LIFE AT THAT POINT IN TIME. THE
NEED TO PUT THAT ASIDE. THEY
00:28:47.56\00:29:05.74
KNEW THAT. THIS THING THAT I
MUST HAVE HAD A TRUE EXPERIENCE
WITH GOD. EVERYTHING STOPPED
00:29:05.74\00:29:14.68
RIGHT THERE. I WENT TO COLLEGE
TO STUDY THEOLOGY. IT WAS A VERY
SHORT LIST. I NEVER FORGET, IT
00:29:14.68\00:29:22.79
WAS AFTER MY FIRST THEOLOGY
CLASS, I CALM OUT OF THE CLASS
AND I WALKED OUT INTO THAT GREEN
00:29:22.79\00:29:31.43
LAWN IN FRONT OF THE THEOLOGY
COMPLEX WHICH MANY ARE FAMILIAR
WITH. AS I WAS STANDING THERE, I
00:29:31.43\00:29:42.94
LOOKED AROUND AND I SAW YOUNG
PEOPLE WITH BOOK BAGS AND BOOKS,
BOOK BAGS AND PENS. I THOUGHT TO
00:29:42.94\00:29:48.52
MYSELF, WHAT IN THE WORLD AM I
DOING HERE? ALL OF THESE GUYS
ARE HERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
00:29:48.52\00:29:54.26
HOW TO MAKE MONEY. I JUST LEFT
MINE. TO SHOW YOU HOW THE DEVIL
WORKS, WHEN I WENT BACK TO MY
00:29:54.26\00:29:58.06
DORM, TO MY SUITE, ONE OF THE
YOUNG MEN IN MY SUITE HAD THE
LATEST EDITION OF HIP-HOP
00:29:58.06\00:30:23.28
MAGAZINE THAT WAS MOST POPULAR
AT THAT TIME. SOURCE MAGAZINE.
LET ME TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. I
00:30:23.28\00:30:31.99
GRABBED IT FROM HIM. I OPENED IT
UP AND THUMBING THROUGH THE
PAGES. AS I GOT JUST A FEW PAGES
00:30:31.99\00:30:35.20
THROUGH, I SAW AN ADVERTISEMENT
INSIDE OF THAT MAGAZINE FOR A
MOVIE THAT I HAD WRITTEN THE
00:30:35.20\00:30:45.94
STORY TO GETTING READY TO BE
RELEASED IN THE THEATER. I SAID
WHAT IN THE WORLD. I'M HERE
00:30:45.94\00:30:53.98
PRETENDING LIKE I'M GOING TO BE
A PREACHER AND MY MOVIE IS
GETTING READY TO COME OUT IN THE
00:30:53.98\00:31:05.13
THEATER. I SHOULD BE AT THE
OPENING OF MY MOVIE. AT THAT
POINT IN TIME, I JUST MADE THIS
00:31:05.13\00:31:18.94
DECISION I WAS GOING BACK. I
ATTEMPTED TO TRY TO ENGAGE IN
THE WRITING PROCESS AGAIN. I
00:31:18.94\00:31:25.31
ATTEMPTED TO TRY TO WRITE THE
SCRIPTS, NOTHING WOULD COME OUT.
SOME OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH
00:31:25.31\00:31:44.87
WRITER'S BLOCK, WHEN YOU ARE
HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME TRYING
TO GET THE THOUGHTS TOGETHER AND
00:31:44.87\00:31:56.54
BRING THEM ALL TOGETHER TO
PRESENTS A PICTURE OF A SONG,
ETC. WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS
00:31:56.54\00:32:05.52
MORE THAN WRITER'S BLOCK. I
COULDN'T EVEN PUT THE FIRST
ALERT DOWN ON THE PAGE. AS I WAS
00:32:05.52\00:32:19.43
TRYING, NOTHING WOULD COME TO
ME. I GOT SO UPSET. I SLAMMED MY
HAND AND I SAID ALL I HAVE TO DO
00:32:19.43\00:32:24.64
IS REJECT GOD, DEHE ANNOUNCE GOD
T WILL ALL COME BACK. DURING
THAT TIME IN MY LIFE, I REMEMBER
00:32:24.64\00:32:31.71
I HAD A COUPLE OF THOUSAND
DOLLARS. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,
THIS IS WHAT I'M GONNA DO. I'M
00:32:31.71\00:32:47.20
GOING TO GO GET TH MARIJUANA.
THAT HAS TO BE NUMBER ONE. I'LL
GET SOME MUSIC FROM MY PRODUCER.
00:32:47.20\00:32:55.10
I'M GOING TO GO AND I'M GOING TO
GET SOME JEWELRY. WHEN YOU ARE
IN THE INDUSTRY, EVERYTHING WAS
00:32:55.10\00:33:00.14
ABOUT IMAGE. I SAID I WILL GO DO
THESE THINGS AND THEN IT WILL
COME BACK TO ME. THE FIRST PLACE
00:33:00.14\00:33:09.08
I WENT WAS TO A SCWIEWLRY --
JEWELRY STORE. I SAW THESE WHITE
GOLD ROSARY BEADS. BIG CHAINS. I
00:33:09.08\00:33:22.56
SAID I WANTED THOSE TWO CHAINS.
I SAID TURN THE CROSS UPSIDE
DOWN. HE SAID "WHAT?" I SAID
00:33:22.56\00:33:30.91
TURN THE CROSS UPSIDE DOWN IT.
HE SAID WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO
THAT. I SAID BECAUSE I'M PAYING
00:33:30.91\00:33:50.19
FOR.  IT THE REASON I WANT MED
THE ROSARY BEADS BECAUSE AT THAT
TIME I HAD BEEN STUDYING BIBLE
00:33:50.19\00:34:04.87
PROPHECY AND I BECAME
KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THE FACT THAT
THE ROMAN POWER ASSOCIATED WITH
00:34:04.87\00:34:09.14
THE ANTICHRIST SPOKEN UP IN
CHAPTER 13, THE ANTICHRIST. I
WANTED TO ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH
00:34:09.14\00:34:15.65
ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS
ANTICHRIST. I BOUGHT THAT
JEWELRY. I BOUGHT THE MARIJUANA.
00:34:15.65\00:34:23.59
I GOT SOME MUSIC FROM MY
PRODUCER. I WENT BACK TO THE
SMALL APARTMENT I WAS STAYING
00:34:23.59\00:34:28.56
AT. I WENT IN THERE AND PUT THIS
C.D. ON THE DECK AND ROLLED UP
SOME MARIJUANA TO SMOKE. I
00:34:28.56\00:34:45.31
TURNED THE LIGHTS ON. THE ONLY
LIGHT I HAD ILLUMINATING WAS THE
LITTLE RED LIGHT COMING FROM THE
00:34:45.31\00:34:55.29
CD DECK. I WAS SMOKING
MARIJUANA, LOOKING IN THE MIRROR
AND I SAT THERE LOOKING IN MY
00:34:55.29\00:35:03.16
EYES. I WAS LOOKING FOR THAT
LOOK THAT I REMEMBERED SEEING.
WHEN I REALIZED THAT THERE WAS
00:35:03.16\00:35:08.10
SOMETHING ELSE AIDING ME IN THIS
SUCCESS THAT I WAS SEEKING TO
OBTAIN IN THE INDUSTRY. AS I WAS
00:35:08.10\00:35:19.11
THERE SMOKING AND WAITING,
SMOKING AND WAITING, IT CAME
BACK TO ME. I NEVER FORGET. I
00:35:19.11\00:35:21.88
BEGAN TO RECORD MUSIC AS FAST AS
MY PRODUCER TO COULD GET IT TO
ME. IF HE GAVE IT TO ME, I WAS
00:35:21.88\00:35:30.96
IN THE BOOTH RECORDING
IMMEDIATELY. I WAS RECORDING SO
QUICKLY BECAUSE I WAS FEARFUL
00:35:30.96\00:35:40.64
THAT THE LORD WAS GOING TO GRAB
ME AGAIN AND DRAW ME OUT OF THAT
LIFESTYLE BEFORE I COULD ACHIEVE
00:35:40.64\00:35:44.11
WHAT I WANTED TO ACHIEVE. THAT
WAS FAME AND FINANCIAL SUCCESS
IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. WHEN GOD
00:35:44.11\00:35:51.15
HAS A PURPOSE AND A PLAN, HE
DOESN'T STOP. HE DIDN'T STOP
WITH ME THERE. BROTHER CHRIS, I
00:35:51.15\00:35:58.45
DON'T WANT YOU TO GIVE THE WHOLE
THING AWAY. WE HAVE TO TELL HOW
GOD BROUGHT YOU OUT OF THAT. YOU
00:35:58.45\00:36:05.36
WERE IN SO DEEPLY, AND YET YOU
GOT TO TELL HOW HE BROUGHT YOU
OUT. >> OKAY, DO YOU WANT ME TO
00:36:05.36\00:36:12.00
TELL YOU THE WHOLE THING. I
CAN'T TELL YOU THE WHOLE THING,
THEN. >> WE WANT THEM TO CHECK
00:36:12.00\00:36:30.12
OUT THE BOOK AND THE YOUTUBE. >>
I KNOW, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. I
FAST FORWARD TO THE POINT THAT I
00:36:30.12\00:36:39.49
LEFT A MORTAL INJURY THAT LEFT
ME LAYING ON THE GROUND BLEEDING
TO DEATH. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF AS
00:36:39.49\00:36:50.21
I WAS LAYING THERE BLEEDING OUT,
"THIS IS THE WAY THAT I'M GOING
TO DIE." IT WAS INTERESTING.
00:36:50.21\00:36:58.01
WHEN I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL, I
WENT IN THERE AND THE ER DOCTOR
WAS TAKING THE BANDAGE OFF MY
00:36:58.01\00:37:14.36
ARM. I SAID, IT'S REALLY BAD. HE
SAID I'M THE DOCTOR, I'LL TELL
YOU WHAT'S BAD OR NOT. I SAID,
00:37:14.36\00:37:17.23
OKAY. AS SOON AS HE GOT IT OPEN,
HE STARTED SHOUTING, YOU NEED TO
TAKE HIM INTO SURGERY NOW! THEY
00:37:17.23\00:37:22.90
SUED SUE SEWED UP AND PRESCRIBED
ME EXTREMELY POWERFUL
PAINKILLERS. I WAS ON MY PATH
00:37:22.90\00:37:39.19
TRYING TO GET CLOSER TO THE
LORD. AT THIS POINT I REALIZED,
YOU KNOW WHAT, GOD WAS TRYING TO
00:37:39.19\00:37:45.06
GIVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO WAKE
UP. I NEED TO SEIZE UPON THIS
OPPORTUNITY. JUST LIKE THE
00:37:45.06\00:37:57.34
CHAPLAIN IN THE BOOK TAT
ASSOCIATED WITH MY TESTIMONY,
ELOHIM, WITH GOD THE CREATOR AND
00:37:57.34\00:38:07.68
EVERY DAY HAS A PURPOSE.
EVERYTHING WASN'T FINISHED ON
THE FIRST DAY OR THE SECOND DAY,
00:38:07.68\00:38:13.46
IT WAS PROGRESSIVELY MOVING IN
THE DIRECTION OF PERFECTION. GOD
WAS WORKING IN MY LIFE AS WELL.
00:38:13.46\00:38:29.90
HE WAS GIVING ME SPACE TO COME
TO UNDERSTAND HIM FOR THE MIGHT
GOD THAT HE IS, THE TRANSFORMING
00:38:29.90\00:38:39.61
SANCTIFYING GOD. I COULD SPEAK
TO THAT. >> YES. >> AS I WAS
TAKING PAINKILLERS, WHICH WASN'T
00:38:39.61\00:38:45.02
MY INTENTION. THAT WAS SOMETHING
I NEVER DESIRED TO DO WAS POP
PILLS. I TOOK THE PAINKILLERS,
00:38:45.02\00:39:01.77
BECAUSE I NEEDED THEM FOR THE
PAIN. ALL OF A SUDDEN I
ULTIMATELY BECAME ADDICTED TO
00:39:01.77\00:39:09.88
THESE PAIN PILLS. IT WAS SO
UNFORTUNATE. THE DOCTORS, THEY
KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON.
00:39:09.88\00:39:19.45
LITERALLY ONE OF THE DOCTORS IN
THE CLINIC WHEN I CAME THERE ONE
DAY, HE SAID, LISTEN, WHATEVER
00:39:19.45\00:39:29.03
YOU WANT, I WILL GIVE IT TO YOU.
NOT ONLY DID HE GIVE ME THE
PRESCRIPTION, BUT HE UPPED THE
00:39:29.03\00:39:39.84
DOSAGE ON THE PRESCRIPTION. I
PRAYED TO THE LORD, I WENT IN
THERE AND THERE WAS A DOCTOR
00:39:39.84\00:39:52.95
THAT CARED ABOUT PEOPLE. HE SAID
HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD THIS CAST
ON MY ARM. I TOLD HIM HOW LONG.
00:39:52.95\00:40:02.96
HE IMMEDIATELY TOOK OUT THE
SURGICAL KNIFE AND CUT OPEN THE
CAST. HE LOOKED AT ME IN MY
00:40:02.96\00:40:12.07
EYES. HE SAYS I WILL SET YOU UP
WITH PHYSICAL THERAPY. YOU NEED
TO GO HOME AND YOU NEED TO START
00:40:12.07\00:40:21.02
PHYSICAL THERAPY ON YOUR HAND
TODAY. IF YOU DON'T START
PHYSICAL THERAPY ON YOURSELF,
00:40:21.02\00:40:33.06
WILL YOU NEVER HAVE USE OF YOUR
HAND AGAIN. THAT HIT ME HARD. I
REMEMBER GOING HOME. I STARTED
00:40:33.06\00:41:04.06
TRYING TO PULL OUT MY THUMB,
DIFFERENT DIGITS ON MY HANDS. I
COULD HEAR THE SCAR TISSUE
00:41:04.06\00:41:12.70
POPPING. THAT WAS THE BREAKING
POINT FOR ME. I FELL DOWN ON MY
KNEES AND I BEGAN TO CRY AND I
00:41:12.70\00:41:33.36
CRIED OUT TO GOD. WHAT AM I
GOING TO DO. I GAVE UP THIS
LIFESTYLE. I DIDN'T FINISH MY
00:41:33.36\00:41:42.43
COLLEGE EDUCATION. THIS WAS MY
FOCUS FOR MY SUCCESS IN THIS
LIFE. NOW I'M IN JEOPARDY OF NOT
00:41:42.43\00:41:49.14
BEING ABLE TO USE MY HAND. WHAT
AM I GOING TO DO, LORD? GOD, I
DON'T KNOW. I DON'T REALLY
00:41:49.14\00:41:57.78
NECESSARILY BELIEVE IN DREAMS OR
VISIONS FOR MYSELF, BUT, GOD
GIVE ME SOMETHING. I NEED A
00:41:57.78\00:42:05.39
DREAM, I NEED SOMETHING, YOU
NEED TO TELL ME SOMETHING. GOD
DID GIVE ME SOMETHING. HE GAVE
00:42:05.39\00:42:18.17
ME A DREAM. IN THAT DREAM, WHICH
I THOUGHT WAS A JOKE, AT FIRST
IN THAT DREAM GOD GAVE ME VERY
00:42:18.17\00:42:29.08
CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS AS WHAT HE
WANTED ME TO DO THE REST OF MY
LIFE AND SET ME ON THE PATH I'M
00:42:29.08\00:42:37.82
ON TODAY. I GIVE GOD THE GLORY
OR DELIVERING ME FROM THE FILTH
THAT I WAS WALLOWING IN AND SET
00:42:37.82\00:42:42.66
MY FEET ON THIS PATH. I WILL
CONTINUE GOING FORWARD. >> HOW
MANY YEARS HAS THAT BEEN? HOW
00:42:42.66\00:42:49.03
MANY YEARS AGO? >> IT'S BEEN
THAT LONG. [LAUGHTER] >> IT'S
BEEN 17 YEARS NOW. >> I SHOULD
00:42:49.03\00:43:00.38
SAY THAT CHRIS IS THE FORERUNNER
OF THE FOUR RUNNER CHRONOCOMHE
HAS A HUGE INTERNET FOLLOWING
00:43:00.38\00:43:05.88

WATCH AND THEY ARE TRULY
BLESSED. THANK YOU FOR SHARING
00:43:05.88\00:43:11.39

PART OF THE BOOK IS THE STORY.
>> THE BOOK STARTS OUT WITH
00:43:11.39\00:43:19.16
ELOHIM, MIGHTY GOT CREATOR AND
WE SHARE CHRIS' TESTIMONY. >> I

GOD. ANY TIME WE CAN GET A
BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF GOD, IT
DRAWS US CLOSER TO HIM. GETTING
00:44:02.97\00:44:07.98
TO KNOW EACH OTHER, THE MORE YOU
KNOW, THE MORE YOU CAN LOVE.
HERE WITH THE LORD, THIS IS SO
00:44:07.98\00:44:15.35
COMPLICATED. YET TO HIM, IT'S
VERY SIMPLE THING. I CREATED

THIS IS KIND OF IN THE
00:44:59.49\00:45:04.93
BEGINNING. WE ARE UNDERSTANDING
AND WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS
WITH OUR PASTOR HERE TONIGHT.
00:45:04.93\00:45:08.90
WE'RE TO BE SAVED. WE HEAR ABOUT

FROM. HOW YOU DOES IT SET US UP,
00:45:08.90\00:45:15.74
JOHN, KENNY, CAN -- >> CAN I ADD
SOMETHING? MANY PEOPLE SAY -- IT
IS POPULAR NOW DAYS TO SAY,
00:45:15.74\00:45:20.45
THERE ARE MANY ROADS TO GOD.
MANY PATH TO SEE GOD. THE BIBLE
HERE SAYS THERE IS NO OTHER NAME
00:45:20.45\00:45:23.59
UNDER HEAVEN WHEREBY YOU MAY BE
SAVED BUT THE NAME OF JESUS. >>
THERE ARE MANY ROADS TO MANY
00:45:23.59\00:45:33.73
GODS. THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW.
>> SO WHAT HAPPENED, GOD IN HIS
WISDOM, DIPTS HE KNOW WHEN HE
00:45:33.73\00:45:41.10
CREATED US, THERE WILL WOULD BE
A FALL. THE FALL AND MAN WOULD
FAIL, WHY WOULD HE BOTHER WITH
00:45:41.10\00:45:46.81
THAT? >> THE LORD DIDN'T CREATE
US TO FAIL. BIBLE SAID GOD SAW
EVERYTHING THAT HE MADE AND IT
00:45:46.81\00:45:49.81
WAS VERY GOOD. WE HAVE TO TAKE
THE BIBLE AS IT READS, IT WAS
VERY GOOD. THEN ON TOP OF THAT,
00:45:49.81\00:46:01.86
THE LORD MADE MAN IN HIS OWN
IMAGE. SO TO SAY THAT GOD
CREATED US TO FAIL WOULD SAY
00:46:01.86\00:46:06.09
THAT GOD'S IMAGE IS FAULTY.
BECAUSE HE MADE US IN HIS IMAGE.
IN HIS LIKENESSEN HE GAVE US
00:46:06.09\00:46:12.93
SOMETHING ELSE, FREE MORAL
AGENCY. WE CANNOT COME OUT OF
THE SCENARIO IN THE BOOK OF
00:46:12.93\00:46:17.87
GENESIS, CHAPTER 3 WHERE THE
SERPENT AND THE WOMAN HAD A
CONVERSATION WHICH RESULTED IN
00:46:17.87\00:46:21.44
THE OPENING OF THE DOOR AND THE
CONSCIOUS OPENING, JUST AS
THROUGH ONE MAN SIN ENTERED THE
00:46:21.44\00:46:32.89
WORLD AND THUS THROUGH SIN, THUS
DEATH SPREAD TO ALL MEN BECAUSE
ALL SINNED. IN ROMEEN ALL HAVE
00:46:32.89\00:46:36.99
FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF
GOD. WE HAVE TO UNDERSTANDS OUR
CONDITION AND OUR INABILITY TO
00:46:36.99\00:46:44.77
UNDERSTANDS WHY WE NEED TO BE
SAVED. WHEN I LOOK AT SALVATION,
THE FIRST THING I THINK ABOUT
00:46:44.77\00:46:53.27
SALVATION IS WE NEED TO BE
EXTRICATED, BUT FROM WHAT? ONLY
AS WE UNDERSTAND OUR CONDITION
00:46:53.27\00:47:00.72
AND OUR INABILITY TO UNDERSTAND
WHY WE NEED TO BE EXTRICATED, WE
WE NEED TO BE SAVED. WE HAVE ALL
00:47:00.72\00:47:04.12
SINNED, FALLEN SHORT. THERE IS
NONE WHO DOES GOOD, NO NOT ONE.
BUT THAT IS JUST OUR CONDITION.
00:47:04.12\00:47:15.33
I WILL GIVE CHRIS A CHANCE TO
EXPOUND ON THAT. THERE IS SO
MUCH HERE, I DON'T WANT TO TAKE
00:47:15.33\00:47:22.17
THE WHOLE PROGRAM. EXTRA
INDICATION IS THE FIRST STEP. WE
HAVE TO KNOW OUR CONDITION TO
00:47:22.17\00:47:35.72
KNOW WHY WE NEED JESUS. >> A
GOOD DEFINITION. AGAIN WE TRY TO
PUT IT IN A NUTSHELL AS WE STUDY
00:47:35.72\00:47:42.52
THIS. SALVATION DEFINITION IS
GOD'S PROVISION FOR DELIVERING
SINNERS FROM THE PENALTY AND THE
00:47:42.52\00:47:51.27
POWER OF SIN. THEN TO RESTORE
THEM -- HE ALWAYS WANTS TO
RESTORE US -- TO THE ORIGINAL
00:47:51.27\00:48:06.15
STATE OF PERFECTION. IN OTHER
WORDS, ALL THINGS WILL BE
RESTORED. THREE QUICK POINTS
00:48:06.15\00:48:20.36
HERE. THE RELEASE OF THE SINNER
FROM CONDEMNATION IS CALLED
JUSTIFICATION. TO ME THAT'S GOOD
00:48:20.36\00:48:28.84
NEWS. ROMANS 4:23. CHRIST WS
DELIVERED FOR US AND RAISED
AGAIN FOR OUR JUSTIFICATION.
00:48:28.84\00:48:40.15
PRAISE GOD FOR THAT. THE
PROCESS, NO. 2 OF CHARACTER
00:48:40.15\00:48:57.27
SANCTIFICATION. YOU CAN CALL
THAT JUSKS. SANCTIFICATION, THIS
IS THE WILL OF GOD. OUR
00:48:57.27\00:49:02.50
SANCTIFICATION. THE WILL OF GOD
WE SPEND ETERNITY WITH HIM. THAT
WE BE SAVED IN THE KINGDOM.
00:49:02.50\00:49:08.04
BOTTOM LINE F WE ARE LOST IT'S
BECAUSE WE CHOOSE FOB LOST. GOD
IS NOT TO BE BLAMED FOR THAT.
00:49:08.04\00:49:13.28
THE RESTORATION, WE CALL IT
IMMORTALITY IS CALLED
GLORIFICATION. WE LOOK AT
00:49:13.28\00:49:22.02
JUSTIFICATION, SANCTIFICATION,
EVEN TALKING ABOUT SALVATION AND
GLORIFICATION OR ANOTHER WORD IS
00:49:22.02\00:49:26.96
PERFECTION, COMING INTO THAT
RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST TO BE
WHAT HE WANTS US TO BE. I THINK
00:49:26.96\00:49:32.53
OF CONTINUES FROM MY LIFE, I
THINK THERE IS NO WAY TO GAIN
THIS, IT'S EXACTLY LIKE YOU
00:49:32.53\00:49:36.34
CANNOT DO IT, BUT I CAN THROUGH
YOU. THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT
POINT THERE. A PLAN OF
00:49:36.34\00:49:46.61
SALVATION, SOMEBODY BROUGHT IT
UP, IT WAS CONCEIVED, OR WE
TALKED ABOUT HERE CONCEIVED IN
00:49:46.61\00:49:51.75
ETERNITY PAST. FROM THE VERY
BEGINNING. GOD MADE A PLAN
BEFORE ANY OF THIS TOOK PLACE.
00:49:51.75\00:50:09.00
PRAISE GOD FOR THAT. HE PUT INTO
OPERATION WHEN MAN SINNED, THE
CONDITION OF SALVATION. AGAIN
00:50:09.00\00:50:21.68
YOU LOOK AT THE OLD TESTAMENT.
WE ARE SAVED THE SAME WAY IN THE
OLD TESTAMENT THAN THE NEW
00:50:21.68\00:50:32.86
TESTAMENT. WE FIND THE
SANCTUARY, THE SACRIFICES OF
JESUS CHRIST, THAT THE MYSTERY
00:50:32.86\00:50:41.60
ROMANS TALKS ABOUT. WE TALKED
ABOUT FROM SANCTUARY OF SERVICE
TO THE CROSS. I LIKE BECAUSE
00:50:41.60\00:50:57.05
IT'S MADE EFFECTIVE BY CHRIST
COMING, LIVING THE PERFECT LIFE,
DYING, RAISING AGAIN, PRAISE
00:50:57.05\00:51:07.10
GOD. PRAISE GOD FOR THAT. I
ALWAYS SAY WE SERVE A RISEN
SAVIOR. NOT ONE DEAD, NOT IN THE
00:51:07.10\00:51:13.70
TOMB. HE CAME TO MAKE SURE WE
ARE TO BE SAVED. IT'S A FREE
GIFT TO ALL MEN. BOTTOM LINE, WE
00:51:13.70\00:51:22.18
MUST MAKE THAT CHOICE. WE HAVE
TO CHOOSE. PASTOR JOHN, WE HAVE
TO CHOOSE. >> YOU SAID WE WOULD
00:51:22.18\00:51:30.52
BE LOST. WE CHOSE TO BE LOST.
LET ME GO IN A DIFFERENT
DIRECTION. WE WOULD BE LOST
00:51:30.52\00:51:37.13
BECAUSE WE CHOOSE NOT TO BE
SAVED. WE ARE ALREADY LOST. A
LOT OF PEOPLE THINK YOU HAVE TO
00:51:37.13\00:51:43.40
DO SOMETHING TO BE LOST. NO.
YOU'RE ALREADY LOST. GOD SENT
HIS WORLD NOT TO CONDEMN THE
00:51:43.40\00:51:56.08
WORLD BUT SO THAT THE WORLD MAY
BE SAVED. WHY WOULD YOU CONVINCE
SOMEONE WHO IS ALREADY LOST? YOU
00:51:56.08\00:52:09.76
HAVE TO CONVINCE THEM THEY NEED
TO BE SAVED. WE ARE ALREADY
LOST. THEY THINK THEY ARE IN A
00:52:09.76\00:52:22.94
NEUTRAL PLACE. I HAVE TO IT
CHOOSE TO BE SAVED. I CHOOSE FOB
LOST. WE ARE ALREADY LOST. ALL
00:52:22.94\00:52:30.48
HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF
THE GLORY OF GOD. COUNTY LEOPARD
CHANGE ITS SPOTS? NO, WE CAN'T.
00:52:30.48\00:52:35.18
THE INABILITY IS WE CANNOT SAVE
OURSELF. LET ME PUT THIS HERE,
YOU HAVE DONE A LOT OF HOMEWORK.
00:52:35.18\00:52:45.49
THE KEY IS, WE DON'T CHOOSE TO
BE LOST. WE ALREADY ARE LOST. WE
ARE ALREADY IN THAT POSITION. >>
00:52:45.49\00:52:55.70
BUT THERE IS A CHOICE. BOTTOM
LINE, THERE IS A CHOICE. WE CAN
CHOOSE TO SERVE HIM OR CHOOSE
00:52:55.70\00:53:16.96
NOT TO SERVE HIM. >> I DON'T
REALLY HAVE THIS IN HERE, BUT
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS. YOU
00:53:16.96\00:53:21.00
TALKED ABOUT ADAM. I WAS
STUDYING NOT LONG AGO. IT WAS SO
BEAUTIFUL. GOD HAD MADE ADAM
00:53:21.00\00:53:35.18
TEMPTATION AS EASY AS POSSIBLE.
HE WASN'T EVEN HUNGRY WHEN EVE
OFFERED HIM THAT FRUIT. HE DID
00:53:35.18\00:53:41.12
IT BECAUSE OF A LOVE FOR HER. SO
THERE WAS A CHOICE THERE. AS YOU
SAID, A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY
00:53:41.12\00:53:54.23
DON'T REALIZE THEY ARE IN A LOST
CONDITION. THAT IS WHERE MOST
PEOPLE ARE. THEY THINK
00:53:54.23\00:54:07.08
EVERYTHING IS FINE. CAN YOU HAVE
THE WORLD AND HAVE GOD, TOO. YET
THE MORE WE STUDY, IT'S
00:54:07.08\00:54:12.85
BEAUTIFUL, WE ARE HEARING CHRIS'
TESTIMONY. THIS IS REALLY
SALVATION IN ACTION. THIS IS GOD
00:54:12.85\00:54:26.06
WORKING IN AND THROUGH EACH AND
EVERY ONE OF US. I WENT THROUGH
A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS IN
00:54:26.06\00:54:39.07
THIS STUDY. I WENT BACK TO THE
SANCTUARY, 15U78 77:13. IT THERE
ARE SO MANY ASPECTS WE CAN TALK
00:54:39.07\00:54:53.29
ABOUT. AS YOU WERE TALKING, I
THOUGHT ABOUT THE SANCTUARY. NO
MATTER WHETHER IT'S THE WOOD,
00:54:53.29\00:55:02.46
THE GOLD ON TOP, THE COLORS THAT
ARE USED. EVERY PIECE HAD SOME
TYPE OF SYMBOLIC MEANING. WHEN
00:55:02.46\00:55:06.37
YOU STUDY GOD'S NAME, I'M SO
ENTHRALLED BY IT BECAUSE EVERY
LITTLE -- HOW YOU EXPLAIN, EVERY
00:55:06.37\00:55:10.57
NAME. IT HAS SOME KIND OF A
MEANING THERE. THAT MEANING
DRAWS US CLOSER TO HIM AND HELPS
00:55:10.57\00:55:15.44
US TO REFLECT HIS IMAGE EVEN
MORE. IT'S VERY TRUE WHEN WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT SALVATION THAT WE
00:55:15.44\00:55:26.89
COME TO A PLACE. HE IS VERY GOOD
AT BRINGING US TO A PLACE WHERE
WE REALIZE WE ARE NOT IN
00:55:26.89\00:55:46.07
CONTROL. WE REALIZE SOMETHING
NEEDS TO CHANGE. YOU EITHER HAVE
TO MAKE A DECISION. YOU THANK TO
00:55:46.07\00:55:50.91
GOD THE TIME WE HAVE BEEN LIVING
AND EVEN YOUNG KIDS COMMITTING
SUICIDE. THERE IS NOTHING TO
00:55:50.91\00:56:04.66
LIVE FOR. I CAN REMEMBER HAVING
A THOUGHT AND IT WAS MY
COMMITMENT FOR MY CHILDREN, FOR
00:56:04.66\00:56:12.90
ALL OF THOSE AROUND ME 245 WOULD
-- EVENTUALLY WHEN I WOULD GET
INTO A DEEP DARK PLACE.
00:56:12.90\00:56:17.24
TRANSFORMATION IS I REALIZE THIS
ANOTHER DAY COMING. THERE IS
ANOTHER DAY COMING. JESUS' TONE
00:56:17.24\00:56:33.19
THROUGHOUT SCRIPTURE, THERE IS
ANOTHER DAY COMING. HE IS THE
GOD OF RESTORATION. ACCEPT THE
00:56:33.19\00:56:47.07
GOD OF RECREATION. I WANT TO
RESTORE YOU. IT'S BEAUTIFUL WHEN
YOU CAN COME OUT OF THAT
00:56:47.07\00:57:04.79
DARKNESS. I WAS LISTENING TO
CHRIS' TESTIMONY, HIM WANTING
THAT PRESENCE TO COME BACK IN
00:57:04.79\00:57:13.60
HIM. I'M LIKE, WHY WOULD YOU
WANT THAT?" WE DON'T WANT THAT.
WE WANT AS FAR AWAY FROM THAT AS
00:57:13.60\00:57:28.94
POSSIBLE. GOD DIDN'T GIVE UP ON
HIM. HE WON'T GIVE UP ON YOU. HE
DIDN'T GIVE UP ON ME. THIS IS AN
00:57:28.94\00:57:34.52
EXCITING STUDY. >> WHAT I'M
GETTING SO FAR, LISTENING TO
EVERYBODY SO FAR, IS THAT GOD
00:57:34.52\00:57:43.66
CREATED IT. FOUND IT IN HIS
IMAGE. YET WE -- HE GAVE US A
CHOICE. THE REASON HE GAVE US A
00:57:43.66\00:57:58.64
