01:41 S. ITION THEN AND ONLY THEN SITTING AT THE FEET OF JESUS WILL WE REALLY UNDERSTAND THE GREAT PLAN. TONIGHT WE HAVE THE WORD OF GOD. 02:01 WE WANT TO FOCUS UPON IT. WE WILL FOCUS ON SALVATION. 02:06 I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. HOW ABOUT YOU? 02:08 >> IT IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT TOPIC. IT'S SUCH AN IMPORTANT TOPIC. 02:14 WE ARE READY TO GO. >> WILL YOU INTRODUCE OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS? 02:22 >> THESE ARE LIKE MY BROTHERS. THIS IS PASTOR JOHN LOM KANG, THE HEAD OF WORLD EVANGELISM AND OUR PASTOR. 02:39 HE HAS BEEN MY FRIEND AND -- >> SALVATION. 02:47 THIS IS THE ONE ASPECT EVER THE MISSION OF JESUS. THIS IS THE HIGHEST ASPECT OF THE MISSION OF JESUS. 02:54 SO MANY PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE BROAD SCOPE. WHEN YOU SAY IS "DO YOU WANT TO BE SAVED?" 03:00 WE'LL FIND OUT, FROM WHAT AND HOW. I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT. 03:06 YOU MIGHT HIT "RECORD" NOW, BY THE WAY. >> YES, INDEED. 03:17 >> THIS IS MY BROTHER, PASTOR KENNY SHELTON. THEY ARE THE CODIRECTORS OF THE BEHOLD THE LAMB MINISTRIES. 03:30 YOU KNOW I WOULD GET THAT IN. ALWAYS GOOD TO SAY THE WORD OF GOD AROUND GOD'S PEOPLE AND GET SOME WARMTH. 03:40 I FEEL SOME WARMTH HERE. I FEEL THE SPIRIT. 03:44 ONE LINE THAT WAS INTERESTING, IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. TO UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. 03:50 WE MUST UNDERSTAND -- THINK ABOUT IT. WE MUST UNDERSTAND THE COST. 03:57 TO UNDERSTAND THE VALUE. WE MUST UNDERSTAND THE COST. 04:01 TODAY IS ABOUT SALVATION. THAT SET ME GOING, PASTOR JOHN. 04:13 >> I'M SURE THEY ARE LISTENING TO. THEY WOULDN'T WANT TO MISS IT. 04:16 THE MORE I BEGIN TO STUDY FOR THIS PROGRAM, THE MORE I THOUGHT, BOY, YOU COULD GET SO DEEP. IN FACT, I BELIEVE THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE TOPICS WE STUDY THROUGHOUT ETERNITY. 04:27 THERE IS SO MUCH TO IT. MUCH MORE, LIKE DANNY SAID, THAN WE'LL EVER COMPREHEND. 04:38 IT'S A FOCUS. WE WANT TO FOCUS ON TRUTH. 04:40 PTSZ THE TRUTH ABOUT SALVATION AND WHAT AN INCREDIBLE GIFT -- AND IT'S A GIFT. >> IT IS. 04:48 ABSOLUTELY. >> THAT'S WHAT I CAN'T WRAP MY MIND AROUND. 04:51 I LOOK AT MYSELF INCLUDED. MAYBE IT IS LIKE THE CHIEF SINNER, BUT TO SAY HOW COULD HE POSSIBLY BOTHER WITH ANY OF IT. 05:01 WHEN THE FLOOD CAME, WHY DIDN'T HE WIPE EVERYBODY OFF. HE DIDN'T. 05:07 HE DIDN'T GIVE UP ON IT. BUT I'M THANKFUL THAT GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE, THERE IS NO BEGINNING AND NO END. 05:19 HE SEES LITERALLY SO FAR AHEAD. HE KNEW THIS PLAN OF SALVATION WOULD BE WHAT WE NEEDED WITH ETERNITY WITH HIS CREATION. 05:29 HE HAS GIVEN US A FREE GIFT. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS ACCEPT IT TONIGHT. 05:34 WE'VE BEEN BUSY. YOU AND ME, WE'VE BEEN BUSY ON TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. 05:40 OTHER THAN THE FACT OF THE KIDNEY STONE. SHE WAS WORKING ON -- WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT IN A MINUTE. 05:47 THE YouTube THING YOU ARE DOING. I'LL GIVE THIS TESTIMONY FIRST. 05:52 SEVERAL YEARS AGO WE WERE IN FLORIDA, I HAD A BOUT WITH A KIDNEY STONE. WENT TO SEVERAL HOSPITALS. 06:00 TOOK TEN DAYS OR SOMETHING BEFORE WE GOT RID OF THEM. NO FUN AT ALL. 06:05 THEN I FOUND OUT THROUGH OTHER TESTS IT, WELL YOUR LEFT KIDNEY HAS FOUR OF THEM, IT WAS A TWO, THEN A THREE, THEN A FOUR. IT'S GROWN. 06:16 THEY SAID THAT WILL BE NO FUN. ANY TIME YOU GET ON AN AIRPLANE AND YOUR BACK HURTS YOU, YOU THINK, HUH-UH, I WOULDN'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR IN AN AIRPLANE. 06:31 TAKE THIS THE RIGHT WAY I SAY IT. WHEN YOU HURT BAD ENOUGH, LIKE MY SAID WOULD SAY, YOU LOSE YOUR MANHOOD BECAUSE YOU'RE LIKE, OW, YOU FORGET TRYING TO BE TOUGH. 06:42 THIS IS TERRIBLE. IT TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY. 06:46 I THOUGHT ABOUT IT. A FEW DAYS AGO, MAYBE A WEEK OR SO AGO, PAIN, I STARTED GETTING PAIN. 06:55 IT GOT WORSE AND WORSE. PRETTY SOON IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE PUSHING THEIR FIST IN YOUR KIDNEY AREA AND NOT LETTING UP. 07:05 I KNEW WHAT I HAD. I CALLED MY DOCTOR. 07:10 HE SAID TAKE A LOT OF FLUIDS. I WENT FOR TWO DAYS AT LEAST OR SO. 07:16 SO I DIDN'T GO BACK TO EVEN HAVING IT CHECKED OR CAT SCAN. I KNEW THEY WERE THERE. 07:24 YOU CAN PRETTY WELL TELL WHEN IT'S THERE. IT WAS HURTING SO BAD. 07:30 SABBATH ATH AFTERNOON, I TOLD THE DOCTOR, LISTEN, IT MIGHT BE BETTER TO GO IN. YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO PASS IT. 07:39 THEY WILL GET THE YOU AREOLOGY APPOINTMENT AND START WITH CAT SCANS AND ALL THAT. I WAS WORN OUT FROM FIGHTING IT. 07:49 I SAID I'M SO TIRED. SHE SAID, LAY DOWN BEFORE YOU GO. 07:54 I LAID DOWN IN THE BED. I SAID ABOUT 2:30, I'M SURE SABBATH EVENING, YOU WON'T BE ANXIOUS TO DO IT WHATEVER THEY HAVE TO DO, TO DO IT. 08:07 I SAID, OKAY. I LAID DOWN. 08:10 I STARTED TO SAY A PRAYER. I SAID I DON'T FEEL RIGHT ABOUT THIS. 08:15 LAYING DOWN. SO I MANAGED TO GET UP ON MY KNEES. 08:18 I PRAYED. I SAID, LORD, LITERALLY, WHY NOT ME. 08:26 MY DAD WOULD SAY WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME, JOHN? WHY NOT YOU. 08:34 I SAID, LORD'S WILL BE DONE. I LAID DOWN AND SHUT MY EYES AND ACTUALLY FELL ASLEEP. 08:42 30 MINUTES LATER I WOKE UP AT 2:30. I SAID, I PACKED MY DUFFEL BAG TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. 08:50 I GOT UP AND HMM, I DON'T FEEL ANYTHING. I MOVED AROUND AND THEN I STARTED TIPTOEING AROUND -- THE PRESSURE IS GONE. 08:59 THE PAIN IS GONE. TOTALLY GONE. 09:06 >> WHEW. >> I DIDN'T KNOW, I HAD NO IDEA. 09:09 I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING LITERALLY. UP TO NOW, WHAT WAS IT, LAST NIGHT OR THE NIGHT BEFORE, I WENT -- THEY WANTED TO DO AN ULTRASOUND ABOUT 8:30 AT NIGHT. 09:26 WE GO IN. THE LADY, SHE WOULDN'T TELL ME UNTIL THE NEXT DAY, THE DOCTOR SAID YOUR STONES ARE GONE. 09:33 YOU DON'T HAVE ANY STONE. BOTH KIDNEYS ARE CLEAR. 09:42 I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HOW THEY LEFT. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THEY LEFT THE BODY. 09:47 THEY SAID YOU ARE TOTALLY CLEAR. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY KIDNEY STONES. 09:53 >> HALLELUJAH. >> IT'S OKAY, I'VE BEEN THROUGH IT, I STILL GIVE GOD THE CREDIT. 10:00 SOMETIMES IT'S PLEASING WHAT HE WILL DO IT. DURING ALL OF THAT, SHE'S HAVING HER OWN WEEK. 10:07 SHE IS WORKING, WORKING, WORKING. TELL US ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING. 10:12 >> I'M SUPER EXCITED BECAUSE I DID A LITTLE MINISERIES FOR YouTube ON THE BOOK. >> THE NEW BOOK. 10:24 >> YES, YES. SO I DID A FOUR-PART LITTLE MINISERIES ON FOUR DIFFERENT TITLES OF GOD. 10:33 IT WAS A LOT OF WORK. I'M REALLY EXCITED. 10:38 WE HAVE A LITTLE SNEAK PEEK FOR YOU SO PEOPLE CAN KIND OF SEE WHAT IT'S ABOUT. JUST A SECOND AND WE'LL PLAY IT. 10:45 I WAS THANKFUL TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WON'T READ. 10:49 AND WHO WILL WATCH YOUTUBE. SO I THOUGHT MAYBE I CAN JUST GET SOME OF THIS INFORMATION TO THEM. 10:58 HOPEFULLY THEY WILL LOOK AT THE BOOK. EVEN IF THEY DON'T, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GET SOMETHING FROM THIS LESSON. 11:07 I'M EXCITED. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE SNEAK PEEK THEY PUT TOGETHER FOR US. 11:14 >> HI, I'M YVONNE SHELTON, WELCOME TO THE SERIES OF THE NAMES OF GOD. IN THIS SERIES I'LL SHARE EXCERPTS FROM MY BOOK, GLIMPSE OF HIS GLORY. 11:28 WE'LL GO ON A SPECIAL JOURNEY, PROBABLY UNLIKE ANY YOU HAVE BEEN ON. I PROMISE YOU BY THE END OF OUR JOURNEY WE'LL HAVE A DEEPER, RICHER KNOWLEDGE OF WHO GOD REALLY IS AND HIS LOVE FOR YOU. 11:40 HOW? IN EACH VIDEO WE'LL EXPLORE A NEW NAME OR TITLE OF GOD THAT DEMONSTRATES VARIOUS ASPECTS OF HIS PERSONALITY AND CHARACTER. 11:49 NOW, MANY OF THESE NAMES MAY BE FOREIGN TO YOU. YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO PRONOUNCE THEM AND WHAT THEY MEAN. 11:57 WE'LL CHECK OUT THE NEEM, SHARE WHERE YOU CAN FIND T ITS BIBLICAL CONTEXT AND THE STORY OF SOMEONE CHANGED BY GOD AS HE MANIFESTED A CERTAIN ASPECT OF HIS CHARACTER IN THAT PERSON'S LIFE. THEN WE'LL DO A PRAYER THAT YOU CAN PRAY ALOUD USING THAT SPECIFIC TITLE. 12:15 FOR EXAMPLE, IN OUR FIRST GLIMPSE, WE'LL LEARN ABOUT HOW EL OWE HEME INTERVENED IN CHRIS' LIFE. HE WOULD WRITE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SOME SUBSTANCE. 12:28 WILL YOU FIND OUT HOW EL OHIM GOT CHRIS' ATTENTION AND TURNED CHRIS' LIFE AROUND. ARE YOU READY? 12:43 ELOHIM. >> I'M SO EXCITED. 12:48 ONCE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THESE DIFFERENT NAMES AND TITLES OF GOD YOUR LIFE CHANGES. BECAUSE YOU REALIZE WHO HE REALLY IS. 12:57 SATAN IS ALWAYS TRYING TO DISTORT THE CHARACTER OF GOD. BY REALLY SEEING WHO HE IS THROUGH THESE DIFFERENT NAMES AND TITLES, WE CAN REALLY ASCERTAIN HIS CHARACTER, HIS PERSONALITY, HIS LOVE FOR US. 13:13 THE WHOLE THING BOILS DOWN TO IT HOW MUCH HE LOVES US. AND HOW HE HAS MADE THIS WONDERFUL PLAN FOR US. 13:20 >> ARE THERE ANY NAMES OF GOD THAT YOU STUDIED THAT YOU PUT IN HERE -- OF COURSE YOU SPENT A LONG TIME, MEAFN, MANY MONTHS OF WORK, THAT WOULD REALLY SPEAK TO IT SALVATION? >> WELL, YES. 13:32 JESUS NAMES IS YESHWA. THAT'S HEBREW. 13:37 THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS AS GABRIELLE GABE GABLE WENT TO JOSEPH. HE SAID YOU WILL CALL HIS NAME JESUS, WILL YOU CALL HIS NAME YESHUA. 13:55 IN HIS HOME HE WASN'T CALLED JESUS, HE WAS CALLED YESHUA. THAT COMES FROM -- WHICH IS JOSHUA, WHICH IS HOW WE SAY JOSHUA. 14:11 THAT IS THE WORD FOR IT. I HAVE IT HERE. 14:15 I DON'T WANT TO GIVE THE WRONG INFORMATION. THAT IS THE SHORTENED FORM OF WYH, THE FOUR LETTERS FOR WHO GOD IS, HIS PERSONAL DEITY NAME. 14:32 IT'S CALLED THE TETRA -- YEHO IS THE FIRST PART AND SHUA MEANS "TO DELIVER" TO RESCUE. THAT IS YESHUA. 14:47 HE IS THE ONE WHO SAVES. THAT IS WHO JESUS IS. 14:54 IT IS KNOWING THESE NAMES MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE IN HOW WE RELATE TO GOD, I THINK. >> I LOVE NOT ONLY WHEN YOU GIVE THE NAME, BUT YOU GIVE ILLUSTRATIONS AND YOU ACTUALLY INTERVIEW DIFFERENT PEOPLE WHO FIT CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE NAMES OF GOD. 15:14 OH, THIS IS WHAT CHANGED MY LIFE. AND I THINK WE HAVE SOMEBODY LIKE THAT ON THE PHONE WITH US TONIGHT. 15:19 >> WE DO. WE DO. 15:21 WE ARE GOING TO HEAR FROM CHRIS. I MENTIONED CHRIS IN THE TRAILER THERE. 15:28 AND THE NAME ASSOCIATED WITH CHRIS' TESTIMONY IS ELOHIM. ELOHIM IS THE CREATOR GOD. 15:40 HE NEVER STOPS CREATING. BECAUSE HE CONTINUES TO RECREATE US. 15:48 WHILE WE THINK OF HIM AS THE CREATOR WHO DID ALL OF THIS IN SIX DAYS AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY HE RESTED FROM ALL OF HIS WORK. HE STILL CONTINUED TO RECREATE US IN HIS IMAGE. 16:02 SO JUST LIKE HE SAID, LET THERE BE LIGHT. SO HE SAYS THAT INTO OUR DARKENED LIVES. 16:09 LET THERE BE LIGHT. HE SEPARATES THE LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS. 16:12 HE SEPARATES OUR SINFUL WAYS FROM THE LIGHT. THAT IS WHO HE IS. 16:21 HE IS ELHOHIM. CHRIS HUDSON WILL SHARE HIS TESTIMONY. 16:31 HIS TESTIMONY, TO ME, SHOWED HOW GOD CONTINUED TO RECREATE HIM JUST LIKE HE CONTINUES TO RECREATE US. >> CHRIS, CAN YOU HEAR US? 16:48 WE CAN'T HEAR HIM IN THE STUDIO. >> YES. 16:52 >> HOW YOU DOING? >> I'M DOING WELL. 16:55 HOW IS EVERYBODY OVER THERE? >> MY DAD USED TO SAY IF WE WERE ANY BETTER, WE COULDN'T STAND IT. 17:02 THINK ABOUT THAT NOR A WHILE. IT MEANS WE ARE HAPPY IN THE LORD. 17:07 IT DOESN'T MEAN EVERYTHING IS GOING OUR WAY BUT IT MEANS WE ARE HAPPY IN THE LORD. I'M LISTENING TO THE CONVERSATION. 17:13 I WISH I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF THE WHOLE FOUNDATION DISCUSSION. I WILL DO MY PART. 17:22 >> YES OH, YES. MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE PART OF THAT DISCUSSION. 17:26 YOU HAVE A LOT TO BRING TO THE TABLE. WOULD YOU SHARE WITH OUR AUDIENCE YOUR TESTIMONY AND HOW YOU CAME TO THE LORD. 17:39 >> SURE. I GREW UP IN NEW YORK. 17:41 I GREW UP IN A SEVENTH DAY DIVERSE ADVENTIST HOUSEHOLD. THEY HAD A SPECIFIC FOLKS WITH OUR LIFE. 17:57 THAT WAS WE HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD. WE HAD EVENING WORSHIP, ETC. 18:03 I GOT AWAY FROM THAT AT AN EARLY AGE, 17 YEARS OLD. FROM 15, I REALLY GOT DEEP IN INTO THE HIP-HOP CULTURE. 18:13 BY THE TIME I WAS 17 YEARS OLD, EVERYWHERE I WENT PEOPLE KNEW ME FOR HIP-HOP MUSIC. I WENT OFF TO COLLEGE EARLY. 18:24 I GOT PUT OUT OF COLLEGE EARLY BECAUSE I HAD TOO MUCH FUN AT COLLEGE. AS I WAS ON MY WAY BACK TO NEW YORK, I PUT IT IN MY HEART I WOULD FOCUS ON ACTUALLY BEING SUCCESSFUL IN THIS DREAM I ALWAYS HAD AND THAT WAS TO BE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. 18:43 I PUT ALL OF THAT EFFORT INTO THAT. WITHIN A SHORT SPACE OF TIME I WAS ABLE TO HOOK UP WITH FRIENDS ALREADY DEEP IN THE BUSINESS. 18:53 THEY WERE WORKING WITH SOME VERY -- QUITE A FEW PLATINUM ARTISTS. SO THEY GAVE ME A SHOT. 19:00 THEY LIKED THE WAY THAT I WAS DOING MY MUSIC. THEY LIKED THE SONGS I WAS WRITING. 19:05 THEY THOUGHT I MIGHT BE GOOD AT WRITING. I GOT TO WRITE SOME TREATMENTS IN MUSIC VIDEOS. 19:12 ALL OF THOSE THINGS WENT QUITE WELL. THEN ONE DAY ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN FUNCTIONING AS MY MANAGER, HE CALLED ME INTO THE OFFICE. 19:19 HE SAID, HEY, CHRIS, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO WRITE A SCRIPT FOR A MOVIE? I SAID, OF COURSE. 19:27 19, 20 YEARS OLD. HE TOLD ME, OKAY. 19:34 GO HOME. GET BACK ME BY 8:00 TOMORROW NIGHT. 19:39 I SAID "8:00 TOMORROW NIGHT?" HE SAID WE DON'T HAVE A WRITER FOR THE PROJECT. 19:46 GO HOME, SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO. BRING IT BACK 8:00 TOMORROW NIGHT. 19:50 SO I LEFT FROM THE OFFICE. I WENT DIRECTLY TO THE SUPERMARKET. 19:53 I BOUGHT A CAN OF COFFEE. I DON'T DO DOUGHNUTS BUT AS TO WHAT I DID AT THAT POINT IN TIME. 20:00 I STARTED WRITING AT MY DESK. AS IT STARTED TAKING -- I TOOK TWO OR THREE HAND STLES OF COFFEE AND I ATE THAT COFFEE. 20:13 I KEPT WRITING AND I KEPT WRITING AND I KEPT WRITING. THE NEXT DAY BEFORE 8:00, I WENT INTO THE OFFICE I DROPPED A 200 PLUS PAGE SCRIPT ON MY MANAGER'S DESK. 20:23 HE SAID "WHAT IS THIS?" I SAID IT'S THE SCRIPT YOU ASKED ME HE FOR. 20:28 HE WAS SHOCKED. HE SAID, IS IT ANY GOOD? 20:31 I SAID I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. I SAID, "I DON'T KNOW." 20:38 THEY CALLED ME BACK IN ABOUT A WEEK AND SAID THE SCRIPT IS GOOD. THEY STARTED PASSING OFF DIFFERENT MAJOR MOVIE HOUSES. 20:47 IT WAS MY FIRST MOVIE THAT GOT RELEASED INTO THE THEATERS WITH BLUE LINE SINEMA. FROM THAT POINT I STARTED GETTING MULTITUDES OF OPPORTUNITIES TO WRITE SCRIPTS AND PILOTS FOR A LOT OF KNOWN ACTORS OR MUSIC, ENTERTAINERS. 21:07 I DON'T SAY ANY NAMES. YOU WOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH WHO THEY WERE. 21:11 DURING THAT TIME OF MY LIFE, I WAS REALLY -- LIKE I SAID EARLIER, DEEP INTO THE HIP-HOP CULTURE. ONE PART OF THE KULTURE IS MARIJUANA. 21:20 I SMOKED COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MARIJUANA AND I SOLD QUITE A BIT OF MARIJUANA. I WAS IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A HAITIAN YOUNG LADY. 21:29 I WOULD SPEND A LOT OF TIME AT HER HOME. HER FATHER HAPPENED TO BE VERY VAFD IN VOODOO. 21:37 HE HAD LOT OF IMPLEMENTS AROUND THE HOUSE, ETC. ALL TYPES OF THINGS IN THAT HOME. 21:44 I WOULD SPEND TIME OVER THERE SMOKING WEED AND WRITING ON THESE SCRIPTS. I WOULD BE WRITING MOVIE SCRIPTS TWO WEEKS AT A TIME. 21:55 A WEEK AT A TIME. DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. 21:57 IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS, IT USUALLY TAKES, AFTER YOU GET A GOOD TREATMENT DOWN, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SIX WEEKS AND OF COURSE, IT WILL BE LONGER THAN THAT. I WAS JUST KNOCKING THESE THINGS OUT. 22:13 WHETHER IT WAS A WEEK, TWO WEEKS, IT WAS JUST GOING. I JUST THOUGHT I HAD IT MADE. 22:19 I NEVER FORGET I WAS AT HOME ONE DAY. I LOOKED IN THE MIRROR. 22:25 I COULD DISTINCTLY SEE WHEN I LOOKED IN MY EYES THERE WAS A PRESENCE THAT WAS PRESENT THERE WITH ME THAT WAS NOT ME. I SMILE. 22:35 THE REASON I SMILED WAS BECAUSE IN THAT MOMENT IN TIME I REALLY DID REALIZE WHATEVER WAS PRESENT WITH ME, IT WAS WHAT WAS GIVING ME THE ABILITY, ENABLING ME TO BE SO SUCCESSFUL WITH WRITING THESE SCRIPTS. DOING EVERYTHING ELSE I WAS DOING WITH MY LIFE AT THAT TIME. 22:52 21 YEARS OLD. WRITERS GUILD OF AMERICA. 22:55 I'M IN ALL THE CIRCLES I NEEDED TO BE TO GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL. AT ONE POINT I CAME TO REALIZE WHAT I THOUGHT I HAD CONTROL OVER HAD CONTROL OF ME. 23:07 I WANTED LIBERTY FROM THIS ENTITY THAT I REALIZED WAS INHABITING ME. I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT LIBERTY WAS. 23:17 I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO OBTAIN THE LIBERTY. I DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT WITH THOSE IN MY INNER CIRCLE BECAUSE THAT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WAS PART OF THE CONVERSATION. 23:30 I WILL NEVER FORGET, I HAD A YOUNG GUY SELLING DRUGS FOR ME. I WENT AND PICKED UP SOME MONEY FROM HIM AND I WENT TO GO TO MY SUPPLY TO PICK UP MORE DRUGS. 23:46 YOU KNOW THE PROCESS. PUT IT ON THE STREET. 23:51 I WAS IN UPTOWN, THE SPANISH HARLEM. I'LL NEVER FORGET. 23:57 I HAD ALL OF THESE DRUGS ON ME. DY SOMETHING THAT WAS QUITE FOOLISH. 24:03 MY MIND WAS DISTURBED. I WENT TO A NEARBY PARK, A PARTICULAR PARK. 24:10 I SAT DOWN ON ONE OF THE BENCHES AT THE BASKETBALL COURT AND STARTED ROLLING UP MARIJUANA. I LIT IT. 24:17 I WENT TO SMOKE. AS I PUT IT TO MY MOUTH AND WAS GOING TO TAKE A DRAG, I NEVER FORGET, I HEARD THIS VOICE SPEAKING TO ME. 24:28 VERY DISTINCTLY SAYING, CHRIS, YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO STOP SELLING DRUGS. I RESPONDED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE. 24:34 "I NEED TO STOP SELLING DRUGS. CHRIS, YOU NEED TO STOP SMOKING. 24:39 "YOU KNOW, I NEED TO STOP SMOKING. " 24:43 CHRIS, YOU NEED TO STOP WRITING MOVIES. "I'M DONE WRITING MOVIES. 24:50 >> CHRIS, YOU NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL TO BECOME A PREACHER. "I'M GROWING TO SCHOOL TO BECOME A PREACHER." 24:57 THE LAST THING THAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT PRIOR TO ME HAVING THIS EXPERIENCE IN THE PARK. WHAT WERE THE CONVICTION THAT CAME UPON ME, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE ALL OF THIS IS COMING FROM. 25:12 BUT I HAVE THE CONVICTION VERY STRONG IN ME THAT I DID EXACTLY WHAT I WAS PROMPTED TO THAT I WOULD EXPERIENCE THE LIBERTY I WAS SEEKING. SO I WENT HOME AND I TOLD MY FATHER I'M GOING TO COOL TO BECOME A PREACHER. 25:30 HE ALMOST DROPPED DEAD AND HAD A HEART ATTACK ON THE SPOT. HE COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. 25:37 ONE OF MY FRIENDS GAVE ME A CALL AND ASKED ME WA WAS GOING TO BE THE DRILL FOR THAT NIGHT. I SAID, LISTEN, I'M NOT GOING TO THE STUDIO. 25:47 I'M DONE WITH THE INDUSTRY. I'M GOING TO SCHOOL TO BECOME A PREACHER. 25:52 HE SAID WHAT? I'M COMING OVER AND YOU'LL TELL ME WA HAPPENED. 26:02 SURE ENOUGH, HE CAME OVER AND I TOLD HIM ABOUT WHAT TRANSPIRED EARLIER THAT DAY. LONG STORY SHORT. 26:09 EVERYONE IN MY INNER CIRCLE BECAME BAPTIZED MEMBERS OF THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH. THEY KNEW THAT CONTRACTS WERE BEING PRESENTED TO PEE AND THAT WAS MY MAIN FOCUS, NOTHING ELSE REALLY MADE ANY DIFFERENCE TO ME IN MY LIFE AT THAT POINT IN TIME. 26:28 THE NEED TO PUT THAT ASIDE. THEY KNEW THAT. 26:31 THIS THING THAT I MUST HAVE HAD A TRUE EXPERIENCE WITH GOD. EVERYTHING STOPPED RIGHT THERE. 26:37 I WENT TO COLLEGE TO STUDY THEOLOGY. IT WAS A VERY SHORT LIST. 26:44 I NEVER FORGET, IT WAS AFTER MY FIRST THEOLOGY CLASS, I CALM OUT OF THE CLASS AND I WALKED OUT INTO THAT GREEN LAWN IN FRONT OF THE THEOLOGY COMPLEX WHICH MANY ARE FAMILIAR WITH. AS I WAS STANDING THERE, I LOOKED AROUND AND I SAW YOUNG PEOPLE WITH BOOK BAGS AND BOOKS, BOOK BAGS AND PENS. 27:07 I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, WHAT IN THE WORLD AM I DOING HERE? ALL OF THESE GUYS ARE HERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE MONEY. 27:17 I JUST LEFT MINE. TO SHOW YOU HOW THE DEVIL WORKS, WHEN I WENT BACK TO MY DORM, TO MY SUITE, ONE OF THE YOUNG MEN IN MY SUITE HAD THE LATEST EDITION OF HIP-HOP MAGAZINE THAT WAS MOST POPULAR AT THAT TIME. 27:33 SOURCE MAGAZINE. LET ME TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. 27:36 I GRABBED IT FROM HIM. I OPENED IT UP AND THUMBING THROUGH THE PAGES. 27:41 AS I GOT JUST A FEW PAGES THROUGH, I SAW AN ADVERTISEMENT INSIDE OF THAT MAGAZINE FOR A MOVIE THAT I HAD WRITTEN THE STORY TO GETTING READY TO BE RELEASED IN THE THEATER. I SAID WHAT IN THE WORLD. 27:54 I'M HERE PRETENDING LIKE I'M GOING TO BE A PREACHER AND MY MOVIE IS GETTING READY TO COME OUT IN THE THEATER. I SHOULD BE AT THE OPENING OF MY MOVIE. 28:04 AT THAT POINT IN TIME, I JUST MADE THIS DECISION I WAS GOING BACK. I ATTEMPTED TO TRY TO ENGAGE IN THE WRITING PROCESS AGAIN. 28:16 I ATTEMPTED TO TRY TO WRITE THE SCRIPTS, NOTHING WOULD COME OUT. SOME OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH WRITER'S BLOCK, WHEN YOU ARE HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME TRYING TO GET THE THOUGHTS TOGETHER AND BRING THEM ALL TOGETHER TO PRESENTS A PICTURE OF A SONG, ETC. 28:34 WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS MORE THAN WRITER'S BLOCK. I COULDN'T EVEN PUT THE FIRST ALERT DOWN ON THE PAGE. 28:41 AS I WAS TRYING, NOTHING WOULD COME TO ME. I GOT SO UPSET. 28:47 I SLAMMED MY HAND AND I SAID ALL I HAVE TO DO IS REJECT GOD, DEHE ANNOUNCE GOD T WILL ALL COME BACK. DURING THAT TIME IN MY LIFE, I REMEMBER I HAD A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS. 29:05 I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, THIS IS WHAT I'M GONNA DO. I'M GOING TO GO GET TH MARIJUANA. 29:14 THAT HAS TO BE NUMBER ONE. I'LL GET SOME MUSIC FROM MY PRODUCER. 29:22 I'M GOING TO GO AND I'M GOING TO GET SOME JEWELRY. WHEN YOU ARE IN THE INDUSTRY, EVERYTHING WAS ABOUT IMAGE. 29:31 I SAID I WILL GO DO THESE THINGS AND THEN IT WILL COME BACK TO ME. THE FIRST PLACE I WENT WAS TO A SCWIEWLRY -- JEWELRY STORE. 29:42 I SAW THESE WHITE GOLD ROSARY BEADS. BIG CHAINS. 29:48 I SAID I WANTED THOSE TWO CHAINS. I SAID TURN THE CROSS UPSIDE DOWN. 29:54 HE SAID "WHAT?" I SAID TURN THE CROSS UPSIDE DOWN IT. 29:58 HE SAID WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THAT. I SAID BECAUSE I'M PAYING FOR. IT THE REASON I WANT MED THE ROSARY BEADS BECAUSE AT THAT TIME I HAD BEEN STUDYING BIBLE PROPHECY AND I BECAME KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THE FACT THAT THE ROMAN POWER ASSOCIATED WITH THE ANTICHRIST SPOKEN UP IN CHAPTER 13, THE ANTICHRIST. 30:23 I WANTED TO ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS ANTICHRIST. I BOUGHT THAT JEWELRY. 30:31 I BOUGHT THE MARIJUANA. I GOT SOME MUSIC FROM MY PRODUCER. 30:35 I WENT BACK TO THE SMALL APARTMENT I WAS STAYING AT. I WENT IN THERE AND PUT THIS C.D. ON THE DECK AND ROLLED UP SOME MARIJUANA TO SMOKE. 30:45 I TURNED THE LIGHTS ON. THE ONLY LIGHT I HAD ILLUMINATING WAS THE LITTLE RED LIGHT COMING FROM THE CD DECK. 30:53 I WAS SMOKING MARIJUANA, LOOKING IN THE MIRROR AND I SAT THERE LOOKING IN MY EYES. I WAS LOOKING FOR THAT LOOK THAT I REMEMBERED SEEING. 31:05 WHEN I REALIZED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE AIDING ME IN THIS SUCCESS THAT I WAS SEEKING TO OBTAIN IN THE INDUSTRY. AS I WAS THERE SMOKING AND WAITING, SMOKING AND WAITING, IT CAME BACK TO ME. 31:18 I NEVER FORGET. I BEGAN TO RECORD MUSIC AS FAST AS MY PRODUCER TO COULD GET IT TO ME. 31:25 IF HE GAVE IT TO ME, I WAS IN THE BOOTH RECORDING IMMEDIATELY. I WAS RECORDING SO QUICKLY BECAUSE I WAS FEARFUL THAT THE LORD WAS GOING TO GRAB ME AGAIN AND DRAW ME OUT OF THAT LIFESTYLE BEFORE I COULD ACHIEVE WHAT I WANTED TO ACHIEVE. 31:44 THAT WAS FAME AND FINANCIAL SUCCESS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. WHEN GOD HAS A PURPOSE AND A PLAN, HE DOESN'T STOP. 31:56 HE DIDN'T STOP WITH ME THERE. BROTHER CHRIS, I DON'T WANT YOU TO GIVE THE WHOLE THING AWAY. 32:05 WE HAVE TO TELL HOW GOD BROUGHT YOU OUT OF THAT. YOU WERE IN SO DEEPLY, AND YET YOU GOT TO TELL HOW HE BROUGHT YOU OUT. 32:19 >> OKAY, DO YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU THE WHOLE THING. I CAN'T TELL YOU THE WHOLE THING, THEN. 32:24 >> WE WANT THEM TO CHECK OUT THE BOOK AND THE YOUTUBE. >> I KNOW, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. 32:31 I FAST FORWARD TO THE POINT THAT I LEFT A MORTAL INJURY THAT LEFT ME LAYING ON THE GROUND BLEEDING TO DEATH. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF AS I WAS LAYING THERE BLEEDING OUT, "THIS IS THE WAY THAT I'M GOING TO DIE." 32:47 IT WAS INTERESTING. WHEN I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL, I WENT IN THERE AND THE ER DOCTOR WAS TAKING THE BANDAGE OFF MY ARM. 32:55 I SAID, IT'S REALLY BAD. HE SAID I'M THE DOCTOR, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S BAD OR NOT. 33:00 I SAID, OKAY. AS SOON AS HE GOT IT OPEN, HE STARTED SHOUTING, YOU NEED TO TAKE HIM INTO SURGERY NOW! 33:09 THEY SUED SUE SEWED UP AND PRESCRIBED ME EXTREMELY POWERFUL PAINKILLERS. I WAS ON MY PATH TRYING TO GET CLOSER TO THE LORD. 33:22 AT THIS POINT I REALIZED, YOU KNOW WHAT, GOD WAS TRYING TO GIVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO WAKE UP. I NEED TO SEIZE UPON THIS OPPORTUNITY. 33:30 JUST LIKE THE CHAPLAIN IN THE BOOK TAT ASSOCIATED WITH MY TESTIMONY, ELOHIM, WITH GOD THE CREATOR AND EVERY DAY HAS A PURPOSE. EVERYTHING WASN'T FINISHED ON THE FIRST DAY OR THE SECOND DAY, IT WAS PROGRESSIVELY MOVING IN THE DIRECTION OF PERFECTION. 33:50 GOD WAS WORKING IN MY LIFE AS WELL. HE WAS GIVING ME SPACE TO COME TO UNDERSTAND HIM FOR THE MIGHT GOD THAT HE IS, THE TRANSFORMING SANCTIFYING GOD. 34:04 I COULD SPEAK TO THAT. >> YES. 34:09 >> AS I WAS TAKING PAINKILLERS, WHICH WASN'T MY INTENTION. THAT WAS SOMETHING I NEVER DESIRED TO DO WAS POP PILLS. 34:15 I TOOK THE PAINKILLERS, BECAUSE I NEEDED THEM FOR THE PAIN. ALL OF A SUDDEN I ULTIMATELY BECAME ADDICTED TO THESE PAIN PILLS. 34:23 IT WAS SO UNFORTUNATE. THE DOCTORS, THEY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON. 34:28 LITERALLY ONE OF THE DOCTORS IN THE CLINIC WHEN I CAME THERE ONE DAY, HE SAID, LISTEN, WHATEVER YOU WANT, I WILL GIVE IT TO YOU. NOT ONLY DID HE GIVE ME THE PRESCRIPTION, BUT HE UPPED THE DOSAGE ON THE PRESCRIPTION. 34:45 I PRAYED TO THE LORD, I WENT IN THERE AND THERE WAS A DOCTOR THAT CARED ABOUT PEOPLE. HE SAID HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD THIS CAST ON MY ARM. 34:55 I TOLD HIM HOW LONG. HE IMMEDIATELY TOOK OUT THE SURGICAL KNIFE AND CUT OPEN THE CAST. 35:03 HE LOOKED AT ME IN MY EYES. HE SAYS I WILL SET YOU UP WITH PHYSICAL THERAPY. 35:08 YOU NEED TO GO HOME AND YOU NEED TO START PHYSICAL THERAPY ON YOUR HAND TODAY. IF YOU DON'T START PHYSICAL THERAPY ON YOURSELF, WILL YOU NEVER HAVE USE OF YOUR HAND AGAIN. 35:19 THAT HIT ME HARD. I REMEMBER GOING HOME. 35:21 I STARTED TRYING TO PULL OUT MY THUMB, DIFFERENT DIGITS ON MY HANDS. I COULD HEAR THE SCAR TISSUE POPPING. 35:30 THAT WAS THE BREAKING POINT FOR ME. I FELL DOWN ON MY KNEES AND I BEGAN TO CRY AND I CRIED OUT TO GOD. 35:40 WHAT AM I GOING TO DO. I GAVE UP THIS LIFESTYLE. 35:44 I DIDN'T FINISH MY COLLEGE EDUCATION. THIS WAS MY FOCUS FOR MY SUCCESS IN THIS LIFE. 35:51 NOW I'M IN JEOPARDY OF NOT BEING ABLE TO USE MY HAND. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO, LORD? 35:58 GOD, I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T REALLY NECESSARILY BELIEVE IN DREAMS OR VISIONS FOR MYSELF, BUT, GOD GIVE ME SOMETHING. 36:05 I NEED A DREAM, I NEED SOMETHING, YOU NEED TO TELL ME SOMETHING. GOD DID GIVE ME SOMETHING. 36:12 HE GAVE ME A DREAM. IN THAT DREAM, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A JOKE, AT FIRST IN THAT DREAM GOD GAVE ME VERY CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS AS WHAT HE WANTED ME TO DO THE REST OF MY LIFE AND SET ME ON THE PATH I'M ON TODAY. 36:30 I GIVE GOD THE GLORY OR DELIVERING ME FROM THE FILTH THAT I WAS WALLOWING IN AND SET MY FEET ON THIS PATH. I WILL CONTINUE GOING FORWARD. 36:39 >> HOW MANY YEARS HAS THAT BEEN? HOW MANY YEARS AGO? 36:50 >> IT'S BEEN THAT LONG. [LAUGHTER] 36:58 >> IT'S BEEN 17 YEARS NOW. >> I SHOULD SAY THAT CHRIS IS THE FORERUNNER OF THE FOUR RUNNER CHRONOCOMHE HAS A HUGE INTERNET FOLLOWING AND A MEDIA MINISTRY. 37:14 PEOPLE WATCH AND THEY ARE TRULY BLESSED. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT. 37:17 THAT WAS SO POWERFUL. >> PART OF THE BOOK IS THE STORY. 37:22 >> THE BOOK STARTS OUT WITH ELOHIM, MIGHTY GOT CREATOR AND WE SHARE CHRIS' TESTIMONY. >> I FORGOT TO MENTION TONIGHT THE BOOK, FOR A DONATION OF ANY SIZE TO 3ABN. 37:39 WE'LL SENDS YOU A COPY ABSOLUTELY FREE. THE DONATION SAYING THANK YOU FOR THAT. 37:45 YOU READ THE BOOK. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL DRAW YOU CLOSER TO GOD. 37:57 ANY TIME WE CAN GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF GOD, IT DRAWS US CLOSER TO HIM. GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER, THE MORE YOU KNOW, THE MORE YOU CAN LOVE. 38:07 HERE WITH THE LORD, THIS IS SO COMPLICATED. YET TO HIM, IT'S VERY SIMPLE THING. 38:13 I CREATED YOU, I HAVE YOUR HOME PREPARED FOR YOU, ALL YOU HAVE TO DOO IS ACCEPT THE FREE GIFT OF SALVATION. NO MORE SICKNESS, NO MORE SORROW, NO MORE DEATH. 38:29 DAHL YOUR FRIENDS, EVERYBODY, LET THEM KNOW TO TUNE IN TO 3ABN. WE WANT TO TAKE QUESTIONS IN A BIT. 38:39 IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT SALVATION TONIGHT. WE WANT TO SET UP A LITTLE BIT. 38:45 THE SCRIPTURE, THE FIRST SO MANY, NEITHER THEIR SALVATION IN ANY OTHER FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME GIVEN WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED. THIS IS KIND OF IN THE BEGINNING. 39:01 WE ARE UNDERSTANDING AND WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS WITH OUR PASTOR HERE TONIGHT. WE'RE TO BE SAVED. 39:09 WE HEAR ABOUT SALVATION, BUT WHAT ARE WE SAVED FROM. HOW YOU DOES IT SET US UP, JOHN, KENNY, CAN -- 39:19 >> CAN I ADD SOMETHING? MANY PEOPLE SAY -- IT IS POPULAR NOW DAYS TO SAY, THERE ARE MANY ROADS TO GOD. 39:29 MANY PATH TO SEE GOD. THE BIBLE HERE SAYS THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN WHEREBY YOU MAY BE SAVED BUT THE NAME OF JESUS. 39:39 >> THERE ARE MANY ROADS TO MANY GODS. THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW. 39:52 >> SO WHAT HAPPENED, GOD IN HIS WISDOM, DIPTS HE KNOW WHEN HE CREATED US, THERE WILL WOULD BE A FALL. THE FALL AND MAN WOULD FAIL, WHY WOULD HE BOTHER WITH THAT? 40:02 >> THE LORD DIDN'T CREATE US TO FAIL. BIBLE SAID GOD SAW EVERYTHING THAT HE MADE AND IT WAS VERY GOOD. 40:12 WE HAVE TO TAKE THE BIBLE AS IT READS, IT WAS VERY GOOD. THEN ON TOP OF THAT, THE LORD MADE MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE. 40:21 SO TO SAY THAT GOD CREATED US TO FAIL WOULD SAY THAT GOD'S IMAGE IS FAULTY. BECAUSE HE MADE US IN HIS IMAGE. 40:33 IN HIS LIKENESSEN HE GAVE US SOMETHING ELSE, FREE MORAL AGENCY. WE CANNOT COME OUT OF THE SCENARIO IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS, CHAPTER 3 WHERE THE SERPENT AND THE WOMAN HAD A CONVERSATION WHICH RESULTED IN THE OPENING OF THE DOOR AND THE CONSCIOUS OPENING, JUST AS THROUGH ONE MAN SIN ENTERED THE WORLD AND THUS THROUGH SIN, THUS DEATH SPREAD TO ALL MEN BECAUSE ALL SINNED. 41:04 IN ROMEEN ALL HAVE FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. WE HAVE TO UNDERSTANDS OUR CONDITION AND OUR INABILITY TO UNDERSTANDS WHY WE NEED TO BE SAVED. 41:12 WHEN I LOOK AT SALVATION, THE FIRST THING I THINK ABOUT SALVATION IS WE NEED TO BE EXTRICATED, BUT FROM WHAT? ONLY AS WE UNDERSTAND OUR CONDITION AND OUR INABILITY TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE NEED TO BE EXTRICATED, WE WE NEED TO BE SAVED. 41:33 WE HAVE ALL SINNED, FALLEN SHORT. THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, NO NOT ONE. 41:42 BUT THAT IS JUST OUR CONDITION. I WILL GIVE CHRIS A CHANCE TO EXPOUND ON THAT. 41:49 THERE IS SO MUCH HERE, I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE WHOLE PROGRAM. EXTRA INDICATION IS THE FIRST STEP. 41:57 WE HAVE TO KNOW OUR CONDITION TO KNOW WHY WE NEED JESUS. >> A GOOD DEFINITION. 42:05 AGAIN WE TRY TO PUT IT IN A NUTSHELL AS WE STUDY THIS. SALVATION DEFINITION IS GOD'S PROVISION FOR DELIVERING SINNERS FROM THE PENALTY AND THE POWER OF SIN. 42:18 THEN TO RESTORE THEM -- HE ALWAYS WANTS TO RESTORE US -- TO THE ORIGINAL STATE OF PERFECTION. IN OTHER WORDS, ALL THINGS WILL BE RESTORED. 42:29 THREE QUICK POINTS HERE. THE RELEASE OF THE SINNER FROM CONDEMNATION IS CALLED JUSTIFICATION. 42:37 TO ME THAT'S GOOD NEWS. ROMANS 4:23. 42:42 CHRIST WS DELIVERED FOR US AND RAISED AGAIN FOR OUR JUSTIFICATION. PRAISE GOD FOR THAT. 42:49 THE PROCESS, NO. 2 OF CHARACTER TRANSFORMATION IS SANCTIFICATION. YOU CAN CALL THAT JUSKS. 43:00 SANCTIFICATION, THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD. OUR SANCTIFICATION. 43:05 THE WILL OF GOD WE SPEND ETERNITY WITH HIM. THAT WE BE SAVED IN THE KINGDOM. 43:11 BOTTOM LINE F WE ARE LOST IT'S BECAUSE WE CHOOSE FOB LOST. GOD IS NOT TO BE BLAMED FOR THAT. 43:19 THE RESTORATION, WE CALL IT IMMORTALITY IS CALLED GLORIFICATION. WE LOOK AT JUSTIFICATION, SANCTIFICATION, EVEN TALKING ABOUT SALVATION AND GLORIFICATION OR ANOTHER WORD IS PERFECTION, COMING INTO THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST TO BE WHAT HE WANTS US TO BE. 43:38 I THINK OF CONTINUES FROM MY LIFE, I THINK THERE IS NO WAY TO GAIN THIS, IT'S EXACTLY LIKE YOU CANNOT DO IT, BUT I CAN THROUGH YOU. THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT POINT THERE. 43:51 A PLAN OF SALVATION, SOMEBODY BROUGHT IT UP, IT WAS CONCEIVED, OR WE TALKED ABOUT HERE CONCEIVED IN ETERNITY PAST. FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. 44:02 GOD MADE A PLAN BEFORE ANY OF THIS TOOK PLACE. PRAISE GOD FOR THAT. 44:07 HE PUT INTO OPERATION WHEN MAN SINNED, THE CONDITION OF SALVATION. AGAIN YOU LOOK AT THE OLD TESTAMENT. 44:15 WE ARE SAVED THE SAME WAY IN THE OLD TESTAMENT THAN THE NEW TESTAMENT. WE FIND THE SANCTUARY, THE SACRIFICES OF JESUS CHRIST, THAT THE MYSTERY ROMANS TALKS ABOUT. 44:29 WE TALKED ABOUT FROM SANCTUARY OF SERVICE TO THE CROSS. I LIKE BECAUSE IT'S MADE EFFECTIVE BY CHRIST COMING, LIVING THE PERFECT LIFE, DYING, RAISING AGAIN, PRAISE GOD. 44:43 PRAISE GOD FOR THAT. I ALWAYS SAY WE SERVE A RISEN SAVIOR. 44:48 NOT ONE DEAD, NOT IN THE TOMB. HE CAME TO MAKE SURE WE ARE TO BE SAVED. 44:53 IT'S A FREE GIFT TO ALL MEN. BOTTOM LINE, WE MUST MAKE THAT CHOICE. 44:59 WE HAVE TO CHOOSE. PASTOR JOHN, WE HAVE TO CHOOSE. 45:04 >> YOU SAID WE WOULD BE LOST. WE CHOSE TO BE LOST. 45:08 LET ME GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. WE WOULD BE LOST BECAUSE WE CHOOSE NOT TO BE SAVED. 45:15 WE ARE ALREADY LOST. A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO BE LOST. 45:20 NO. YOU'RE ALREADY LOST. 45:23 GOD SENT HIS WORLD NOT TO CONDEMN THE WORLD BUT SO THAT THE WORLD MAY BE SAVED. WHY WOULD YOU CONVINCE SOMEONE WHO IS ALREADY LOST? 45:33 YOU HAVE TO CONVINCE THEM THEY NEED TO BE SAVED. WE ARE ALREADY LOST. 45:41 THEY THINK THEY ARE IN A NEUTRAL PLACE. I HAVE TO IT CHOOSE TO BE SAVED. 45:46 I CHOOSE FOB LOST. WE ARE ALREADY LOST. 45:49 ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. COUNTY LEOPARD CHANGE ITS SPOTS? 46:01 NO, WE CAN'T. THE INABILITY IS WE CANNOT SAVE OURSELF. 46:06 LET ME PUT THIS HERE, YOU HAVE DONE A LOT OF HOMEWORK. THE KEY IS, WE DON'T CHOOSE TO BE LOST. 46:12 WE ALREADY ARE LOST. WE ARE ALREADY IN THAT POSITION. 46:17 >> BUT THERE IS A CHOICE. BOTTOM LINE, THERE IS A CHOICE. 46:21 WE CAN CHOOSE TO SERVE HIM OR CHOOSE NOT TO SERVE HIM. >> I DON'T REALLY HAVE THIS IN HERE, BUT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS. 46:32 YOU TALKED ABOUT ADAM. I WAS STUDYING NOT LONG AGO. 46:36 IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. GOD HAD MADE ADAM TEMPTATION AS EASY AS POSSIBLE. 46:44 HE WASN'T EVEN HUNGRY WHEN EVE OFFERED HIM THAT FRUIT. HE DID IT BECAUSE OF A LOVE FOR HER. 46:53 SO THERE WAS A CHOICE THERE. AS YOU SAID, A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY DON'T REALIZE THEY ARE IN A LOST CONDITION. 47:00 THAT IS WHERE MOST PEOPLE ARE. THEY THINK EVERYTHING IS FINE. 47:04 CAN YOU HAVE THE WORLD AND HAVE GOD, TOO. YET THE MORE WE STUDY, IT'S BEAUTIFUL, WE ARE HEARING CHRIS' TESTIMONY. 47:15 THIS IS REALLY SALVATION IN ACTION. THIS IS GOD WORKING IN AND THROUGH EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US. 47:22 I WENT THROUGH A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS IN THIS STUDY. I WENT BACK TO THE SANCTUARY, 15U78 77:13. 47:35 IT THERE ARE SO MANY ASPECTS WE CAN TALK ABOUT. AS YOU WERE TALKING, I THOUGHT ABOUT THE SANCTUARY. 47:42 NO MATTER WHETHER IT'S THE WOOD, THE GOLD ON TOP, THE COLORS THAT ARE USED. EVERY PIECE HAD SOME TYPE OF SYMBOLIC MEANING. 47:51 WHEN YOU STUDY GOD'S NAME, I'M SO ENTHRALLED BY IT BECAUSE EVERY LITTLE -- HOW YOU EXPLAIN, EVERY NAME. IT HAS SOME KIND OF A MEANING THERE. 48:06 THAT MEANING DRAWS US CLOSER TO HIM AND HELPS US TO REFLECT HIS IMAGE EVEN MORE. IT'S VERY TRUE WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SALVATION THAT WE COME TO A PLACE. 48:20 HE IS VERY GOOD AT BRINGING US TO A PLACE WHERE WE REALIZE WE ARE NOT IN CONTROL. WE REALIZE SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE. 48:28 YOU EITHER HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION. YOU THANK TO GOD THE TIME WE HAVE BEEN LIVING AND EVEN YOUNG KIDS COMMITTING SUICIDE. 48:40 THERE IS NOTHING TO LIVE FOR. I CAN REMEMBER HAVING A THOUGHT AND IT WAS MY COMMITMENT FOR MY CHILDREN, FOR ALL OF THOSE AROUND ME 245 WOULD -- EVENTUALLY WHEN I WOULD GET INTO A DEEP DARK PLACE. 48:57 I REALIZE THIS ANOTHER DAY COMING. THERE IS ANOTHER DAY COMING. 49:02 JESUS' TONE THROUGHOUT SCRIPTURE, THERE IS ANOTHER DAY COMING. HE IS THE GOD OF RESTORATION. 49:08 ACCEPT THE GOD OF RECREATION. I WANT TO RESTORE YOU. 49:13 IT'S BEAUTIFUL WHEN YOU CAN COME OUT OF THAT DARKNESS. I WAS LISTENING TO CHRIS' TESTIMONY, HIM WANTING THAT PRESENCE TO COME BACK IN HIM. 49:22 I'M LIKE, WHY WOULD YOU WANT THAT?" WE DON'T WANT THAT. 49:26 WE WANT AS FAR AWAY FROM THAT AS POSSIBLE. GOD DIDN'T GIVE UP ON HIM. 49:32 HE WON'T GIVE UP ON YOU. HE DIDN'T GIVE UP ON ME. 49:36 THIS IS AN EXCITING STUDY. >> WHAT I'M GETTING SO FAR, LISTENING TO EVERYBODY SO FAR, IS THAT GOD CREATED IT. 49:46 FOUND IT IN HIS IMAGE. YET WE -- HE GAVE US A CHOICE. 49:51 THE REASON HE GAVE US A CHOICE, SIMPLE ENOUGH TO SAY, JOHN HE DIDN'T WANT TO CREATE -- PEOPLE THAT HAD NO CHOICE. NOW THEY ARE SERVING YOU BECAUSE THAT'S -- LIKE A COMPUTER, YOU TELL IT WHAT TO DO, PROGRAMMING. 50:09 HE WANTED PEOPLE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE HIM. HE IS SHOWING THAT HIS WAY IS THE ONLY WAY TO COME TO EVER LASTING LIFE. 50:21 OTHERWISE WHAT I LIKE TO TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT -- I HEARD SOMEBODY A FEW MONTHS AGO, VERY WELL KNOWN, THEY SAID "BUT HAVE YOU REALLY BEEN SAVED?" HE SAID I'M A CHRISTIAN. 50:32 "HAVE YOU REALLY BEEN SAVED?" HE SAID I DON'T DO ANYTHING THAT BAD. 50:41 OH,. WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, JOHN, THAT WE'RE BORN INTO A SINFUL WORLD. 50:57 WE'LL GO INTO THAT LATER ON. HOW CAN SATAN CREATED ANGELS WHEN THE TOP ANGELS, HOW COULD HE FALL. 51:07 HOW DOES THIS ALL HAPPEN. WHAT WOULD MAKE HIM TURN AGAINST GOD AND BRING THE ANGELS WITH HIM. 51:13 WE END UP ON A PLACE CALLED EARTH. HERE WE ARE IN A POSITION THAT EITHER PEOPLE WILL SAY, AND THAT'S SO IMPORTANT. 51:22 THE PEOPLE SAY, WELL, RIGHT NOW JUST DON'T IT CHOOSE TO BE SAVED OR LOST. I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT HEAVEN. 51:30 I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT HELL. WE DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT. 51:37 THEY ARE BOTH REAL. WE WILL FACE ONE OR THE OTHER IN ETERNITY. 51:43 WHETHER IT'S WHEN JESUS COMES OR IF WE DIE BEFORE THE SECOND COMING. WE WILL, AFTER WE ARE ASLEEP TOP PERFECT THE COMING. 51:56 OUR NAME SHALL BE CALLED FROM THE SCRIPTURES. EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US HAVE TO REALIZE WE ARE ALL SINNERS SAVED BY GRACE, BY THE GRACE OF GOD. 52:09 YM DOES HE HAVE TO MAKE A PLAN AND WE GO BACK AND YOU MENTIONED, KENNY, THE SANCTUARY. WHY HE DID MAKE A PLAN WHERE YOU HAD TO KILL NANTS, SHED THEIR BLOOD. 52:22 WHERE DID THIS PLAN OF SALVATION INCLUDE BLOOD. WHY COULDN'T HE SAY WE'LL WIPE EVERYTHING CLEAN AND START OVER. 52:30 IS THERE A REASON? >> I UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF SIN. 52:35 BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE THINK THEY NEED TO BE SAVED FROM THE THE DEVIL. THE DEVIL DID HIS JOB IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. 52:45 FROM THAT POINT ON -- I WANT YOU TO HEAR ME. THE LEAST OF MAN'S CONCERN WAS THE DEVIL. 52:55 BECAUSE THE NATURE OF MAN AFTER THE SIN OF ADAM WAS A CONDEMNED NATURE FROM THE SOURCE. IF THE DEVIL HAD BEEN TAKEN OUT OF EXISTENCE THAT DAY, THE NATURE OF MAN ALREADY CONDEMNED IT TO DEATH. 53:16 AS IN ADAM, ALL DIED. YOU FIND THESE SCRIPTURES. 53:21 AS IN ADAM ALL DIED, EVEN IN CHRIST -- THE WAGE OF SIN IS DEATH. SO THE NATURE OF THAT WAS THE BIGGEST ISSUE. 53:35 JESUS DIDN'T JUST COME TO SAVE US FROM WHAT WE DO. WE DO WHAT WE DO BECAUSE OF OUR NATURE. 53:41 HE CAME TO DO SOMETHING ELSE. HE EXTRA KAITION WAS THE SALVATION FROM THE TIME OF THE -- OF THE THINGS WE HAVE DONE ARE NO LONGER HANGING OVER OUR HEAD. 53:54 WE ARE OFF DEATH ROW. IF ALL YOU DID WAS FORGIVE SOMETHING I DID TO YOU AND THEN DID SOMETHING MORE TO ME, I HAVEN'T CHANGED. 54:07 HE DI COME TO EXTRICATE US FROM THE THING WE HAD DONE. HE CAME TO TRANSFORM US. 54:12 AS OF ADAM, ALL DIED SO EVEN IN CHRIST ALL SHALL BE MADE ALIVE. THE WAY TO THE SIN OF DEATH BUT THE WAY IS ETERNAL LIFE. 54:26 THAT WASN'T TRUE WHEN PAUL WROTE IT, IT WAS TRUE FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN. HE WOULD HAVE FORGET THE ETERNAL LIFE ON THE CONDITION THAT HE WANTED TO SERVE GOD. 54:39 IF HE DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE THEN THE GIFT WOULDN'T BE HIS. IF HE WAS CREATED IMMORTAL, WHY WOULD HE NEED THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE IF HE WAS ALREADY IMMORTAL. 54:53 THE GIFT WAS CONDITIONAL. IF YOU EAT, YOU WILL DIE, THE WAGE OF SIN IS DEATH. 55:02 HE TOLD THEM. VILLA GIFT I WANT TO GIVE TO YOU. 55:06 WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT? THE DEVIL CAN GO DIRECTLY TO ADAM. 55:10 HE WENT THROUGH THE OBJECT, THE WOMAN. I WANT TO START THERE. 55:15 THE EXTRICATION, THE SINS WE COMMITTED, THE WINS WE HAVE PERPETRATED THAT THE LORD WANTED TO GO DEEP. I'LL LEAVE THAT FOR THE SECOND HOUR. 55:26 >> WE WANT TO YOU CALL IN THE NUMBER WILL COME UP ON YOUR SCREEN, HOW YOU CAN TEXT IN OUR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS. CAN YOU CALL US ALSO 618- 618-627-4651. 55:46 WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE FIRST HOUR IS GONE. 55:50 >> I KNOW. >> AT SOME POINT WHEN WE GET BACK, PASTOR KENNY, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOU SAYING SIN AND SIN IS A TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW. 56:04 HOW IMPORTANT THE LAW IS TO THE SALVATION. THE OLD LAW IS DONE AWAY WITH. 56:12 WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT'S SO IMPORTANT. WHY IS THERE A LAW? 56:17 DID GOD SAY, I'M THE BOSS, YOU DO WHAT I SAY. OR IS IT THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, THE ALPHA, OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END. 56:33 WITH IF YOU WANT TO LIVE FOREVER, CAN YOU DO IT THROUGH ME AS I HAVE SHARED MY DEATH FOR YOU ON THE CROSS AT CALVARY. IT'S NOT A MATTER YOU HAVE TO DO THIS. 56:47 NO, THERE IS NO WAY TO BE SAVED UNLESS YOU TAKE ON THE CHARACTER OF GOD. WE CAN ONLY DO THAT WHEN WE ADMIT WE ARE SINNERS AND WE WERE BORN IN A SINFUL WORLD. 57:04 WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT, HOW IMPORTANT IT IS. PEOPLE WANT TO GO THIS IT LAW AND SALVATION, ALL I DO -- THERE IS A LAW. 57:13 THAT LAW HAS TO DO WITH BEING ABLE TO ACCEPT THAT FREE GIFT, WHICH IS ETERNAL LIFE. WE CAN'T DO IT ON OUR OWN. 57:28 OUR TIME IS GONE FOR THIS FIRST HOUR. DON'T GO AWAY. 57:34 YOU CAN CALL IN WITH YOUR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS. DONATION OF ANY SIZE TONIGHT, SEND IT IN, WE'LL SENDS YOU ONE OF THESE BOOKS. 57:43 WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. |
