Bible Prophecy is coming to
pass right before our very eyes.
00:00:01.06\00:00:04.54
Today we have a guest
that has some information
00:00:04.57\00:00:07.45
that can be life-changing...
00:00:07.49\00:00:09.01
My name is Yvonne
Lewis and you're watching
00:00:09.04\00:00:11.88
Urban Report...
00:00:11.92\00:00:13.80
Hello and welcome
to Urban Report...
00:00:36.08\00:00:38.12
several of you have e-mailed
me about today's guest...
00:00:38.16\00:00:41.71
he has tens of
thousands of hits on YouTube...
00:00:41.75\00:00:45.12
in fact that's how I found him,
00:00:45.16\00:00:47.02
he's the host of Dare to Dream's
00:00:47.06\00:00:48.85
Program... the
"Forerunner Chronicles"
00:00:48.88\00:00:50.96
Chris Hudson...
Chris, welcome to our Program
00:00:51.00\00:00:55.66
Urban Report...
00:00:55.70\00:00:56.83
How are you doing Yvonne,
thank you for having me...
00:00:56.86\00:00:58.87
Oh, I'm so happy
that you're here,
00:00:58.90\00:01:00.83
you know, I first found you,
00:01:00.86\00:01:03.03
as I mentioned
just a minute ago,
00:01:03.06\00:01:04.95
I first found you on YouTube...
00:01:04.99\00:01:07.49
and I was just surfing the Net
00:01:07.52\00:01:09.96
and I went to...
I was on YouTube...
00:01:09.99\00:01:13.00
and there you were... and
I started listening to you
00:01:13.04\00:01:15.96
and I thought,
"Hmmm, he sounds like
00:01:15.99\00:01:17.50
an Adventist" because
you were so Scriptural
00:01:17.53\00:01:20.61
and doctrinally sound
and... it just really sounded
00:01:20.64\00:01:24.35
it resonated with
me... so, tell me,
00:01:24.38\00:01:27.78
how did you first get
into... just the whole idea
00:01:27.82\00:01:33.05
of Scriptural Exposition...
how did you get into that?
00:01:33.09\00:01:37.45
That's interesting... I
guess that really happened
00:01:37.48\00:01:40.93
as I was going down on
the street as a colporteur...
00:01:40.96\00:01:44.37
going door to door...
and you come up against
00:01:44.41\00:01:47.45
many different individuals...
and you find it very necessary
00:01:47.48\00:01:51.25
to know what's in the Bible
because people have questions
00:01:51.28\00:01:54.27
and you don't want to tell
them "This is what I think... "
00:01:54.30\00:01:57.24
"This is what I think it
may be" you want to give them a
00:01:57.27\00:02:00.23
"Thus sayeth the Lord...
" so, as I went door to door
00:02:00.26\00:02:03.18
I desired to be
successful in sharing the gospel
00:02:03.22\00:02:05.75
with people... that
led me to really spend more
00:02:05.79\00:02:08.05
time in studying my Bible...
and being able to connect
00:02:08.09\00:02:11.23
line upon line...
precept upon precept...
00:02:11.27\00:02:13.56
here a little...
there a little...
00:02:13.59\00:02:14.73
so that I could just
clearly lay out the will of God
00:02:14.77\00:02:17.82
as it is revealed in the Bible,
to those who I came across...
00:02:17.85\00:02:20.68
Ah... that's
great... that's great...
00:02:20.71\00:02:22.51
so you started as a
colporteur, and then you...
00:02:22.55\00:02:25.90
did you go to School for
00:02:25.94\00:02:27.74
studying the Word
00:02:27.78\00:02:30.00
or did you just
kind of teach yourself?
00:02:30.04\00:02:32.02
No, I went to School but...
I was taught by the Holy Spirit
00:02:32.06\00:02:38.40
praise God for that...
Amen, amen, for sure, for sure,
00:02:38.43\00:02:42.58
okay, so then... what led
you to decide to take the gospel
00:02:42.62\00:02:46.74
high tech... how
did you get to do that?
00:02:46.77\00:02:49.07
That's interesting...
about five years ago...
00:02:49.10\00:02:54.48
it was really laid upon
my heart to just put my whole
00:02:54.51\00:02:59.21
existence into ministry...
and I literally went homeless...
00:02:59.24\00:03:03.16
for the sake of us
spreading the gospel...
00:03:03.20\00:03:05.60
and I worked a job while I
was homeless doing flooring...
00:03:05.63\00:03:10.14
but I took all the
money that I had...
00:03:10.17\00:03:12.10
I had friend that was
working with me at that time...
00:03:12.14\00:03:14.48
his name is Ty...
and took all the money
00:03:14.52\00:03:16.67
that I got from my
flooring and I put it into...
00:03:16.70\00:03:18.86
and I put it into
buying the video camera...
00:03:18.90\00:03:20.99
and we shot these
videos... and we bought a little
00:03:21.02\00:03:24.95
DVD burner... and we started
burning several DVDs every day,
00:03:24.99\00:03:29.40
and we just
passed out those DVDs...
00:03:29.43\00:03:32.48
of these
different video messages
00:03:32.52\00:03:35.50
that the Lord had
placed on my heart to share...
00:03:35.53\00:03:38.22
and as time went on...
somebody suggested to me,
00:03:38.25\00:03:41.13
"Why don't you place
this DVD up on YouTube?"
00:03:41.16\00:03:44.00
and I told them
that I wasn't familiar
00:03:44.03\00:03:45.19
with YouTube... but I did it...
00:03:45.22\00:03:46.78
and just left it there...
00:03:46.82\00:03:48.90
didn't think much of it...
and as a few months went along,
00:03:48.94\00:03:51.84
I started
receiving some messages
00:03:51.87\00:03:54.14
from viewers on
YouTube and I jumped on YouTube
00:03:54.17\00:03:56.55
then I realized that
people were actually watching
00:03:56.59\00:03:58.93
the videos... and so,
I got excited from that
00:03:58.97\00:04:03.03
and they were
asking questions...
00:04:03.07\00:04:04.40
and so I told Ty... "I
think I could do a video
00:04:04.44\00:04:08.19
to answer to some
of these questions
00:04:08.22\00:04:09.58
that they are asking me... "
00:04:09.61\00:04:10.80
and that's pretty
much how it happened...
00:04:10.84\00:04:12.52
and I just received questions
and I started answering
00:04:12.55\00:04:15.78
their questions... and
we just saw more and more
00:04:15.81\00:04:18.16
reviews coming in...
and I was impressed by the
00:04:18.19\00:04:20.50
Spirit of God
that this was the work
00:04:20.54\00:04:22.59
that He would have me to
do to reach out to the world
00:04:22.63\00:04:24.61
via the Internet...
and it's been amazing...
00:04:24.64\00:04:27.21
Wow... you know...
that is so interesting
00:04:27.24\00:04:29.73
because many times
people don't think that there is
00:04:29.77\00:04:33.53
sacrifice necessary...
to do the work of God...
00:04:33.57\00:04:37.26
or they might not be
willing to make the sacrifice...
00:04:37.29\00:04:40.77
but here you are... homeless...
00:04:40.80\00:04:42.61
that's very deep...
00:04:42.65\00:04:44.32
and I'd like to talk
about that just for a minute
00:04:44.35\00:04:46.30
because there are several people
00:04:46.33\00:04:48.23
who, either they might
be losing their homes or
00:04:48.26\00:04:51.59
they might be
homeless right now...
00:04:51.62\00:04:52.95
what would you say to someone
who is going through that...
00:04:52.98\00:04:56.44
as a Christian person...
how would you encourage
00:04:56.48\00:05:00.02
someone who is
dealing with that right now?
00:05:00.06\00:05:02.92
You know, one of
my favorite Scriptures
00:05:02.95\00:05:05.74
that I would recite to myself
over and over and over again...
00:05:05.77\00:05:08.93
is a very familiar one
00:05:08.96\00:05:10.22
in Proverbs
Chapter 3 verses 5 and 6
00:05:10.25\00:05:12.93
Hmmm... which tells us,
00:05:12.97\00:05:14.31
"Trust in the Lord
with all thine heart;
00:05:14.34\00:05:16.18
and lean not upon
thine own understanding.
00:05:16.22\00:05:18.09
In all thy ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct thy paths. "
00:05:18.13\00:05:21.47
You know, being homeless...
00:05:21.50\00:05:23.08
it's hard not to
trust in your heart
00:05:23.11\00:05:25.13
at that time...
everything that you see
00:05:25.16\00:05:27.14
seems like it's against you...
00:05:27.18\00:05:28.55
but we need to
just rest ourselves
00:05:28.58\00:05:31.67
in the hands of the Lord
00:05:31.71\00:05:32.91
realizing that He always has
an ultimate design for our lives
00:05:32.95\00:05:36.09
and most of all...
set our hearts to obeying
00:05:36.13\00:05:38.93
the will of God
and sharing the love
00:05:38.97\00:05:41.70
and the truth of God
even in whatever predicament
00:05:41.74\00:05:44.23
we may find ourselves
00:05:44.26\00:05:45.50
we always see how the Lord
will be able to work for us
00:05:45.53\00:05:49.07
and work through
us in amazing ways...
00:05:49.10\00:05:51.71
because, here I
was... I was homeless...
00:05:51.75\00:05:54.29
but the Lord was able to use
me to be able to reach out to
00:05:54.32\00:05:58.07
tens and thousands of people,
00:05:58.11\00:06:00.10
I mean, we got millions of hits
00:06:00.13\00:06:02.05
on YouTube and we were
still... living in the car,
00:06:02.09\00:06:04.41
Wow! so... there's always hope
00:06:04.45\00:06:08.21
when you're in Christ Jesus,
that's the most amazing thing
00:06:08.25\00:06:11.07
if you don't have Christ,
00:06:11.11\00:06:12.52
that's another situation,
00:06:12.56\00:06:13.90
because you have
inhibiting yourself
00:06:13.94\00:06:16.30
in the one who has all
the treasures of knowledge
00:06:16.34\00:06:19.50
and wisdom... who
has all the resources
00:06:19.54\00:06:22.14
of creation... in
His bosom at that...
00:06:22.17\00:06:25.00
Yes... but, you
know, but when you're
00:06:25.04\00:06:27.54
hidden in Jesus
Christ whatever situation
00:06:27.58\00:06:30.02
you find yourself in...
you can rest assured that
00:06:30.05\00:06:33.05
that God will work it
out for your eternal good...
00:06:33.08\00:06:36.04
ultimately...
That is so true Chris,
00:06:36.08\00:06:38.70
and one of the things
that we tend to not realize
00:06:38.73\00:06:41.99
when we're in the
midst of the storm
00:06:42.02\00:06:44.30
and suffering is that...
there are such sweet things
00:06:44.34\00:06:48.57
that can come out
of it... for example...
00:06:48.60\00:06:50.42
your relationship with
Christ, just tends to deepen
00:06:50.45\00:06:53.75
when you're in
adversity... you know, so that
00:06:53.79\00:06:56.16
you draw closer to Him,
because, He is your source...
00:06:56.20\00:07:00.36
so you draw closer to Him,
and He then leads you through...
00:07:00.39\00:07:04.43
He didn't say that
we won't have storms...
00:07:04.46\00:07:06.23
but He says that when
we walk through the fire,
00:07:06.26\00:07:08.48
we won't be burned...
you know when you pass
00:07:08.51\00:07:10.96
through the waters...
they won't overflow you
00:07:11.00\00:07:14.38
so, we can trust Him
and know that He will bring
00:07:14.42\00:07:17.77
us through... and
you're saying to us
00:07:17.80\00:07:19.59
that when you went
through that storm...
00:07:19.63\00:07:22.26
you knew
ultimately... you trusted in God
00:07:22.30\00:07:24.86
and you knew... He was
going to bring you through
00:07:24.90\00:07:26.67
And I think... the
thing that really helped
00:07:26.71\00:07:29.89
me the most is that
my days weren't focused
00:07:29.93\00:07:33.04
upon myself and my predicament,
my days were focused upon
00:07:33.07\00:07:36.44
others and trying
to assist other people
00:07:36.47\00:07:39.41
in finding a home in
heaven for eternity...
00:07:39.44\00:07:42.35
and as I took the
focus off of myself
00:07:42.38\00:07:45.23
and upon the work...
upon the love of Christ
00:07:45.27\00:07:48.05
and the need of so many
people to come to a knowledge
00:07:48.09\00:07:51.20
of the truth, it
didn't only ease my suffering
00:07:51.24\00:07:54.55
I guess... I know you're
going to call it suffering
00:07:54.58\00:07:56.47
it didn't ease the trial...
but it made it joyful for me...
00:07:56.50\00:08:00.04
And that again... is
one of the sweet things
00:08:00.08\00:08:03.95
that the Lord does... I
remember, there was a time
00:08:03.99\00:08:07.33
when I was losing my home
and in the middle of that...
00:08:07.37\00:08:10.68
I was recording a
CD... and so, everyday...
00:08:10.71\00:08:14.56
I was singing for the Lord...
00:08:14.59\00:08:16.50
and so I would not think
about what I was dealing with
00:08:16.54\00:08:19.66
when I go home, of
course, I'd think about it...
00:08:19.70\00:08:22.22
but when you're in the
midst of that dark time
00:08:22.26\00:08:24.72
and you're doing something
else, or something that brings
00:08:24.75\00:08:28.63
someone to the Lord...
00:08:28.66\00:08:29.70
then it takes
the sting out of it
00:08:29.73\00:08:32.33
and yet you can rejoice
in the midst of the storm...
00:08:32.37\00:08:35.65
and I'm sharing that
because I think a lot of people
00:08:35.69\00:08:38.11
need to know that...
you know they see you up on
00:08:38.14\00:08:40.53
television and they think that,
00:08:40.57\00:08:42.75
"Oh, he hasn't had any trouble,
he hasn't had any hard times"
00:08:42.78\00:08:45.35
and here you were... homeless...
00:08:45.39\00:08:47.80
but you wanted to bring people
to a knowledge of the truth...
00:08:47.84\00:08:51.83
and I noticed that at the
end of Forerunner Chronicles...
00:08:51.86\00:08:55.82
you say, "The
Truth... is the Truth... "
00:08:55.85\00:08:58.14
so, with that serious look,
"The Truth... is the Truth"
00:08:58.18\00:09:03.22
and I think that
that's really incredible...
00:09:03.26\00:09:06.22
okay, so, journey with me
now, so you are homeless...
00:09:06.26\00:09:10.12
you got on
YouTube... and how did the Lord
00:09:10.31\00:09:13.20
turn that situation
around... the homelessness...
00:09:13.24\00:09:15.87
how did He turn
that around for you?
00:09:15.90\00:09:17.71
it was really just...
through a series of events...
00:09:17.74\00:09:23.20
I spoke at a Church...
00:09:23.23\00:09:26.70
I met up with another gentleman
00:09:26.74\00:09:28.54
that was involved in the
Medical Missionary Work...
00:09:28.58\00:09:32.04
and I was able to do
some volunteering with him,
00:09:32.07\00:09:35.46
working at the Lifestyle
Center that he had operating
00:09:35.50\00:09:39.41
and I learned more about the
Medical Missionary Work as well,
00:09:39.44\00:09:42.33
which was a real
blessing because every minister
00:09:42.36\00:09:44.79
should know at least
simple medical treatments
00:09:44.82\00:09:47.30
because Jesus did
more healing than He did...
00:09:47.34\00:09:49.79
teaching and preaching...
and so that was a blessing
00:09:49.82\00:09:52.07
and then from there... the
Lord just continued to bless
00:09:52.11\00:09:54.32
as I was sharing the
message, people in the world
00:09:54.36\00:09:56.96
were expressing their desire
to to help support the ministry
00:09:57.00\00:10:02.55
and it pretty
much went from there,
00:10:02.59\00:10:04.98
That is so awesome...
people need to know...
00:10:05.02\00:10:08.18
God has a plan... and
He can take the darkest
00:10:08.21\00:10:11.31
circumstances and turn
them into something positive...
00:10:11.34\00:10:14.60
so now, you're hosting
Forerunner Chronicles...
00:10:14.64\00:10:17.79
and I know that you study
a lot, and you're on top of
00:10:17.83\00:10:21.74
what's going on... and how
it ties into Bible Prophecy
00:10:21.77\00:10:24.79
and one of the things
that I wanted to talk to you
00:10:24.83\00:10:27.81
about today is the NDAA...
00:10:27.85\00:10:30.58
The National
Defense Authorization Act
00:10:30.62\00:10:32.86
tell us about that and
tell us how it ties into
00:10:32.89\00:10:35.84
Bible Prophecy...
00:10:35.87\00:10:37.11
Well, the NDAA, for many people
00:10:37.14\00:10:39.70
out there that might
not be familiar with it...
00:10:39.74\00:10:41.74
that's the National
Defense Authorization Act...
00:10:41.78\00:10:45.72
it was signed into Law
on December 31 of 2011...
00:10:45.76\00:10:49.67
and what this bill essentially
gives the administration
00:10:49.70\00:10:54.65
of our Government
the ability to do...
00:10:54.68\00:10:57.03
is to detain US
Citizens indefinitely...
00:10:57.07\00:10:59.35
in Military Detention
Facilities without going through
00:10:59.38\00:11:02.67
any due process... you
don't get any Court Case,
00:11:02.70\00:11:05.70
no evidence is presented,
or you don't get to present
00:11:05.74\00:11:09.23
any evidence on
your behalf... etc..
00:11:09.27\00:11:11.13
and this Law... by itself...
00:11:11.16\00:11:15.28
really nullifies
our Bill of Rights...
00:11:15.31\00:11:17.75
and it's a very
frightening thing because
00:11:17.79\00:11:20.10
it's focused at possible
extreme... a violent extremist
00:11:20.14\00:11:26.20
or terrorist...
now, you may be out there
00:11:26.24\00:11:28.09
you might be a
Christian, and you say,
00:11:28.13\00:11:30.03
"Hey, I'm not a
violent extremist...
00:11:30.07\00:11:31.90
this is a good thing... I
don't want any more planes
00:11:31.94\00:11:35.75
flying into
buildings where I live... "
00:11:35.78\00:11:37.63
but back in April of 2009, in a
00:11:37.66\00:11:44.22
Department of
Homeland Security Report...
00:11:44.26\00:11:46.17
it was stated that
there were different groups
00:11:46.21\00:11:49.91
that were mentioned as
possible violent extremists
00:11:49.94\00:11:53.57
or Home-grown terrorists within
the United States of America
00:11:53.61\00:11:56.50
and amongst the group of
individuals that were spoken of
00:11:56.54\00:12:00.35
they spoke of those people
that teach end-time prophecies,
00:12:00.38\00:12:04.16
as possibly being
violent extremists...
00:12:04.19\00:12:07.31
and "that" is a
very serious thing...
00:12:07.35\00:12:10.10
that means that if
you teach the truths
00:12:10.14\00:12:12.82
that are found within the
books of Daniel and Revelation,
00:12:12.86\00:12:16.31
that you could be
possibly looked upon
00:12:16.34\00:12:19.02
as a violent
extremist within our Country...
00:12:19.05\00:12:23.51
and so, that actually,
criminalizes the message
00:12:23.54\00:12:27.30
of these last days and
this can radically change
00:12:27.33\00:12:31.00
the way that we promote
the gospel at this time.
00:12:31.04\00:12:34.42
Absolutely... now
wasn't it stated that it's not
00:12:34.46\00:12:37.81
supposed to be for
American citizens...
00:12:37.84\00:12:40.16
how are they going
to get around that?
00:12:40.20\00:12:42.45
That's interesting... yeah...
Obama did make a statement
00:12:42.48\00:12:45.69
in his signing
statement, he said that
00:12:45.72\00:12:47.93
he will not use this
power that's been invested
00:12:47.96\00:12:53.20
in the President to
detain American Citizens
00:12:53.24\00:12:58.40
under his administration,
this gives us no guarantee
00:12:58.44\00:13:01.77
as to what will happen
under the next Administration
00:13:01.80\00:13:05.10
Hmmm... if Obama
is no longer in office
00:13:05.14\00:13:07.04
however, there's another
bill that has been rapidly
00:13:07.07\00:13:10.27
progressing
through Congress called
00:13:10.30\00:13:12.28
The Enemy Expiration
Act... and what that Act
00:13:12.31\00:13:15.59
gives the
Government the ability to do
00:13:15.62\00:13:17.59
is to strip US
Citizens of their citizenship...
00:13:17.62\00:13:21.36
so, if that bill goes through,
they can strip US Citizens
00:13:21.40\00:13:26.26
of their citizenship...
therefore... Obama...
00:13:26.29\00:13:28.98
won't be able to
keep his promise because
00:13:29.01\00:13:31.39
once they strip you
of your citizenship...
00:13:31.42\00:13:33.75
well, you won't be
locking up a US Citizen...
00:13:33.79\00:13:36.04
you'll be locking up an
enemy combatant at that time
00:13:36.08\00:13:38.77
so these are
really serious times
00:13:38.80\00:13:40.14
that we're living
in... and this all ties in
00:13:40.18\00:13:43.18
with the Scriptures
because we're told in the
00:13:43.22\00:13:46.29
Book of Revelation
Chapter 13 and verse 11
00:13:46.33\00:13:49.37
"And I beheld
another beast coming up
00:13:49.40\00:13:50.90
out of the earth; and he
had two horns like a lamb,
00:13:50.93\00:13:53.45
and he spake as a
dragon" and that beast
00:13:53.48\00:13:56.81
is none other
than a symbol of the
00:13:56.85\00:13:58.94
United States of
America... beasts are symbolic
00:13:58.97\00:14:01.61
of kingdoms or political
powers, in the Bible...
00:14:01.65\00:14:04.26
we're told that in
Daniel 7 and verse 7
00:14:04.29\00:14:07.81
and Daniel 7 and verse
23... and those two horns
00:14:07.84\00:14:11.98
are symbolic of
the two great powers
00:14:12.02\00:14:14.27
that lay at the
foundation of our Government
00:14:14.30\00:14:16.45
which are Republicanism
and Protestantism...
00:14:16.48\00:14:18.33
a Country that
is... of the people,
00:14:18.36\00:14:20.16
for the people and by the people
00:14:20.20\00:14:21.57
and in
Protestantism which gives us
00:14:21.61\00:14:22.91
the freedom of
Conscience to worship...
00:14:22.94\00:14:24.58
when we want to
worship, how we want to worship,
00:14:24.61\00:14:26.02
whatever day we
want to worship...
00:14:26.06\00:14:27.33
but the United
States of America will speak
00:14:27.37\00:14:29.51
as a dragon...
it will consequently
00:14:29.55\00:14:31.79
be setting in place legislation
00:14:31.82\00:14:33.99
that will carry out the
designs of the devil himself
00:14:34.03\00:14:36.83
which is primarily
symbolized as the dragon...
00:14:36.86\00:14:39.77
in Revelation
Chapters 12 and verse 9...
00:14:39.80\00:14:42.10
and the designs of
the devil is found in
00:14:42.13\00:14:44.35
Revelation Chapter 12
and verse 17 where it says
00:14:44.38\00:14:46.60
"And the dragon was
wroth with the woman,
00:14:46.63\00:14:48.28
and went to make war
with the remnant of her seed,
00:14:48.32\00:14:50.28
which keep the
commandments of God,
00:14:50.32\00:14:51.94
and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ. "
00:14:51.98\00:14:53.70
and so, ladies and gentlemen,
what we're finding out
00:14:53.73\00:14:57.29
that's going on right now...
is we're moving toward the time
00:14:57.33\00:15:00.19
in which our
Country... is going to remove
00:15:00.22\00:15:04.33
the protections that
we've enjoyed for so long
00:15:04.36\00:15:06.90
that have guarded
our religious freedom...
00:15:06.94\00:15:09.73
and opened the
gateway for God's people
00:15:09.76\00:15:12.52
to be persecuted because
00:15:12.55\00:15:13.78
we hold fast to the truth...
00:15:13.81\00:15:14.96
That is so deep... and you know,
00:15:15.00\00:15:17.47
a lot of people will say,
00:15:17.50\00:15:18.83
"Well, that can't happen
here in the United States... "
00:15:18.86\00:15:21.26
I remember years
ago I used to think
00:15:21.29\00:15:23.76
"How is it that you're not
going to be able to buy or sell"
00:15:23.80\00:15:27.44
you know... at some point,
you're not going to be able to
00:15:27.48\00:15:31.08
buy or sell... and it
would be a cashless society
00:15:31.12\00:15:34.12
how is that? Well, now we see...
00:15:34.15\00:15:36.03
That's right...
we have debit cards,
00:15:36.07\00:15:38.14
we have, you know,
this is a cashless...
00:15:38.18\00:15:40.18
I rarely carry cash...
not that I a lot to carry...
00:15:40.22\00:15:42.61
but I rarely
carry cash... because
00:15:42.65\00:15:44.72
we can see how things
are just shaping up...
00:15:44.76\00:15:48.00
and now you're
telling us with the NDAA...
00:15:48.04\00:15:51.03
how this whole...
the time of trouble...
00:15:51.07\00:15:54.03
could be upon us
at any time now...
00:15:54.06\00:15:57.07
because now... legislation
is being put into place
00:15:57.11\00:16:00.54
that can really remove
our rights as citizens...
00:16:00.57\00:16:03.97
That's right... that's right...
00:16:04.00\00:16:05.34
That is really something...
00:16:05.38\00:16:06.64
Go ahead... you were
going to say something.
00:16:06.68\00:16:09.22
I was going to say
that, I know many people
00:16:09.26\00:16:11.54
when they hear this
type of information,
00:16:11.58\00:16:13.79
it can cause...
00:16:13.82\00:16:15.27
a bit of fear into your heart...
00:16:15.30\00:16:18.71
because you may feel as
though, "I'm not ready... "
00:16:18.75\00:16:20.95
but fortunately we
know that Jesus Christ
00:16:20.99\00:16:24.27
is always standing at
the right hand of the Father
00:16:24.31\00:16:27.34
making intersession for us...
00:16:27.38\00:16:28.70
He's there...
pleading on our behalf,
00:16:28.74\00:16:30.91
we can find a safe
haven in Jesus Christ
00:16:30.94\00:16:33.08
as a matter-of-fact...
the book of Revelation
00:16:33.12\00:16:34.99
is the
revelation of Jesus Christ
00:16:35.02\00:16:36.83
according to Revelation
Chapter 1 and verse 1...
00:16:36.86\00:16:39.64
so, as we see this
information being relayed to us,
00:16:39.68\00:16:42.42
telling us... what is going to
00:16:42.45\00:16:44.12
transpire here
in the present day
00:16:44.16\00:16:45.79
that we're living in...
and in the very near future...
00:16:45.83\00:16:48.92
know that it's Jesus
Christ that has revealed
00:16:48.95\00:16:51.26
this information to us so that
00:16:51.29\00:16:52.72
we can have an
opportunity to be prepared
00:16:52.75\00:16:55.06
and hidden in Him...
His blood has been spilled
00:16:55.09\00:16:58.17
so that we can be
cleansed from our sins...
00:16:58.20\00:17:01.04
and so... all we have to
do is turn our faces to Jesus
00:17:01.08\00:17:03.72
allow Him to give us the
power of His Holy Spirit...
00:17:03.76\00:17:06.76
so that we can be
overcomers over every hereditary
00:17:06.79\00:17:09.76
and cultivated
tendency toward sin,
00:17:09.79\00:17:11.77
and we'll be established
00:17:11.80\00:17:13.29
so that when these
things do go down...
00:17:13.32\00:17:15.68
we don't have to
worry... because we stand
00:17:15.72\00:17:18.01
on the side of the King of
Kings and the Lord of Lords...
00:17:18.04\00:17:20.18
Amen... amen...
and that's key...
00:17:20.22\00:17:22.32
we don't have to fear... we
know, as Danny Shelton says,
00:17:22.35\00:17:26.86
"We know how the book ends... "
00:17:26.89\00:17:28.28
we know how the story ends...
00:17:28.31\00:17:29.63
we know that if we've
accepted the Lord Jesus Christ
00:17:29.66\00:17:32.97
as our Savior... we
will be saved and we'll leave
00:17:33.01\00:17:36.39
this earth... so we can
trust that God's got our back
00:17:36.43\00:17:39.77
so to speak and we
don't have to really worry
00:17:39.81\00:17:41.94
about the outcome... he's
going to take care of us...
00:17:41.98\00:17:44.30
Let's talk a
little bit about the
00:17:44.33\00:17:46.90
"Occupy Wall Street" movement
00:17:46.94\00:17:48.76
what is that about
and how does that apply
00:17:48.80\00:17:51.96
to us now? The
Occupy Wall Street Movement
00:17:51.99\00:17:55.24
is definitely
another interesting...
00:17:55.27\00:17:57.81
happening... within, not just
the United States of America,
00:17:57.85\00:18:01.40
but all throughout the world now
00:18:01.43\00:18:02.64
that we should
really keep our eye on...
00:18:02.67\00:18:04.43
because this spirit of unrest
00:18:04.47\00:18:06.78
and revolution is basically
coursing throughout the veins of
00:18:06.81\00:18:10.29
our Society... and
history has always shown
00:18:10.32\00:18:14.25
that when we see
these types of elements,
00:18:14.29\00:18:16.70
begin to become
prominent within our world...
00:18:16.74\00:18:20.44
civil war really... is a foot
00:18:20.47\00:18:24.81
and, you know the
Bible talks about the fact
00:18:24.85\00:18:29.01
that the poorer class would
raise up... against the frauds
00:18:29.05\00:18:34.06
and injustices that
would be perpetrated
00:18:34.10\00:18:36.99
against them by
the "one percent"
00:18:37.02\00:18:39.38
as a matter-of-fact it talks
about that in the book of James
00:18:39.41\00:18:41.89
Chapter 5 and
verse 1... it says,
00:18:41.93\00:18:44.80
"Go to now, ye
rich men, weep and howl
00:18:44.83\00:18:46.80
for your miseries
that shall come upon you...
00:18:46.83\00:18:48.90
your garments are moth-eaten
00:18:48.93\00:18:51.79
and your gold and your
silver is cankered... "
00:18:51.82\00:18:54.26
it goes on to say in verse 3...
00:18:54.30\00:18:55.80
and it talks about how
they have heaped together
00:18:55.84\00:18:58.13
treasures for the
last day... but then...
00:18:58.16\00:19:00.18
it's interesting... it says,
00:19:00.22\00:19:01.99
right after that... it says,
00:19:02.03\00:19:03.73
"Behold, the hire of the
00:19:03.77\00:19:06.18
laborers... which is of
you... kept back by fraud,
00:19:06.22\00:19:08.70
they cry... and
the cries of them
00:19:08.74\00:19:11.82
have reached unto the ears
00:19:11.86\00:19:13.27
of the Lord of
Sabbath... " and the reason why
00:19:13.30\00:19:16.25
this is so interesting
is... the Bible talks about
00:19:16.29\00:19:19.20
how the gold and the
silver of the rich man
00:19:19.24\00:19:21.73
will be
cankered... and scientifically
00:19:21.77\00:19:23.59
it's impossible
for gold and silver
00:19:23.62\00:19:25.41
to canker... yet the Bible says,
00:19:25.44\00:19:27.19
that the riches of the
rich men will canker...
00:19:27.23\00:19:32.95
Hmmm... hmmm... hmmm... hmmm...
00:19:32.99\00:19:34.29
and it's letting
us know that something
00:19:34.33\00:19:36.34
that we wouldn't
be able to predict
00:19:36.38\00:19:38.40
as being a
reality will transpire
00:19:38.44\00:19:40.59
how a financial crisis will come
00:19:40.62\00:19:42.70
to the rich of our world
and at the very same time
00:19:42.74\00:19:45.63
that they would be experiencing
this financial crisis,
00:19:45.67\00:19:48.53
the poor that
they've been defrauding
00:19:48.56\00:19:50.75
will rise up
and cry against them
00:19:50.79\00:19:52.91
or protest against
them... Hmmm... hmmm...
00:19:52.94\00:19:55.04
and that those
protests would enter
00:19:55.07\00:19:57.06
into the ears of
the Lord of Sabaoth...
00:19:57.10\00:19:59.04
and that word
"Sabaoth" in the Greek means
00:19:59.07\00:20:01.28
"the Lord of Hosts"
or "the Lord of Armies"
00:20:01.32\00:20:03.39
and according to the
book of Revelation...
00:20:03.42\00:20:05.83
Chapter 19 and
verses 10 and 11 and 12...
00:20:05.87\00:20:08.49
the Lord of
Armies is Jesus Christ...
00:20:08.53\00:20:11.61
but another title
for "the Lord of Hosts"
00:20:11.65\00:20:14.70
or "the Lord of
Armies" in the Bible
00:20:14.73\00:20:16.45
is Michael the
archangel... because
00:20:16.48\00:20:18.60
archangel means
"the Chief of the Host"
00:20:18.64\00:20:20.46
or the Chief of
the Armies of Heaven...
00:20:20.50\00:20:22.47
and so... what
this is letting us know
00:20:22.51\00:20:24.41
is that these
protests are actually entering
00:20:24.45\00:20:26.99
into the ears of Michael...
00:20:27.02\00:20:28.46
this is the part of
that which will agitate
00:20:28.50\00:20:31.14
the heart of Michael to stand up
00:20:31.18\00:20:33.05
as the Bible
speaks of in the book of
00:20:33.09\00:20:34.63
Daniel Chapter 12 and
verse 1, "a time of trouble
00:20:34.66\00:20:37.37
such as never was will ensue
00:20:37.40\00:20:39.59
after the time that
Michael will stand up... "
00:20:39.62\00:20:42.69
and it's letting us
know how close we are
00:20:42.72\00:20:45.15
to that time in which
the probation of humanity
00:20:45.19\00:20:48.03
will come to a close,
and the Bible lets us know
00:20:48.06\00:20:50.87
that all those whose
names are found written
00:20:50.90\00:20:53.64
in the Lamb's Book of
Life... will be sealed and kept
00:20:53.67\00:20:56.59
hidden for eternity in
the bosom of Jesus Christ
00:20:56.63\00:20:59.35
but if our name
is not on that book,
00:20:59.38\00:21:00.77
then we have something
that we need to worry about...
00:21:00.81\00:21:03.70
Absolutely... so what
would you tell the viewer now
00:21:03.74\00:21:06.59
who has no idea of
anything about Jesus
00:21:06.63\00:21:10.20
or anything... what
would you tell the viewer
00:21:10.24\00:21:11.96
to do in order to...
00:21:12.00\00:21:14.14
not forestall...
because you can't put this off
00:21:14.17\00:21:18.71
but in order to deal with the
coming turbulence and turmoil
00:21:18.74\00:21:22.63
and the turmoil
that's already here...
00:21:22.67\00:21:25.06
what would you
say to the viewer?
00:21:25.09\00:21:26.67
The Bible says, "Seek
ye the Lord while He may
00:21:26.70\00:21:29.55
be found... call ye
upon Him while He is near"
00:21:29.59\00:21:32.86
and that's exactly what
I would say to the viewer
00:21:32.90\00:21:36.10
that is watching right here,
because God is always standing
00:21:36.13\00:21:38.84
ready to save us... no
matter what your current
00:21:38.88\00:21:41.83
situation may
be... He doesn't care
00:21:41.86\00:21:44.17
if you are smoking...
you're selling drugs...
00:21:44.20\00:21:47.06
whatever your situation may be
00:21:47.09\00:21:50.06
the Lord is trying
to call you out of it...
00:21:50.10\00:21:52.65
He came to this
world to save sinners...
00:21:52.69\00:21:55.18
when He called me... I
had a pack of the drugs
00:21:55.21\00:22:00.27
that I had
purchased... ready to sell...
00:22:00.30\00:22:02.62
and the Lord began
to speak to my heart
00:22:02.65\00:22:04.76
and told me that
He wanted me to begin
00:22:04.79\00:22:06.82
to live a different lifestyle,
and so, if He can call me
00:22:06.86\00:22:10.39
in the midst of my
sin... God is speaking to you
00:22:10.43\00:22:12.73
in the midst of your sin,
and He's telling you to come up
00:22:12.76\00:22:15.62
He's telling you to
come close to Him...
00:22:15.66\00:22:17.48
and as John
says... in the book of...
00:22:17.51\00:22:19.26
John Chapter 1 and verse
29 "Behold the Lamb of God
00:22:19.30\00:22:23.35
which taketh away
the sin of the world... "
00:22:23.39\00:22:25.68
all God is asking you
to do is to take time...
00:22:25.71\00:22:29.01
study His
word... seek His face...
00:22:29.04\00:22:30.93
fall on your knees and pray,
tell the Lord and be very honest
00:22:30.96\00:22:34.54
and say, "Lord, I
don't know who you are...
00:22:34.58\00:22:36.16
I don't know the truth...
00:22:36.19\00:22:37.47
I don't even know if I'm
praying correctly right now...
00:22:37.50\00:22:40.40
but I want to know you
and I want to be prepared...
00:22:40.44\00:22:43.30
speak to me Lord,
manifest yourself to me... "
00:22:43.34\00:22:45.66
and God is
faithful... to reveal Himself
00:22:45.69\00:22:48.26
to those who were
seeking for Him... in truth...
00:22:48.29\00:22:51.12
Absolutely... The
Bible says very clearly
00:22:51.16\00:22:52.96
"Ye shall seek me...
and ye shall find me...
00:22:53.00\00:22:54.76
if you search for
me with all your heart"
00:22:54.80\00:22:56.34
there it is...
00:22:56.37\00:22:57.93
Absolutely... I mean...
and that's so good because
00:22:57.96\00:23:00.20
a lot of people just
don't know what to do
00:23:00.24\00:23:03.34
or what steps to
take... and the fact that...
00:23:03.37\00:23:06.44
we hadn't talked about that
00:23:06.47\00:23:07.94
the fact that the
Lord called you out...
00:23:07.97\00:23:10.42
from street life...
I'd like to talk just a...
00:23:10.45\00:23:12.66
we have a few more
minutes, I'd like to talk to you
00:23:12.70\00:23:14.35
a little bit about that...
00:23:14.38\00:23:15.45
I know... sometimes...
people don't like to look back
00:23:15.48\00:23:17.98
on the past...
but we need to know
00:23:18.01\00:23:21.16
the journey that
you've had because there are
00:23:21.19\00:23:23.66
several people
watching that are either
00:23:23.69\00:23:25.92
involved in that or
know people that are
00:23:25.95\00:23:28.11
involved in that... tell
us a little bit about your
00:23:28.14\00:23:30.43
testimony and how
you came to the Lord...
00:23:30.47\00:23:35.17
Well, when I was about 19...
00:23:35.21\00:23:37.12
I actually went and got into
the Entertainment Industry...
00:23:37.15\00:23:41.52
and I started out in
the Entertainment Industry
00:23:41.56\00:23:45.15
writing
treatments for music videos
00:23:45.19\00:23:47.13
which is basically the
storyline for music videos
00:23:47.17\00:23:49.47
I would hear the music...
00:23:49.50\00:23:50.64
just pretty much write a
story that I thought went
00:23:50.68\00:23:54.00
well with the
theme of the lyrics
00:23:54.03\00:23:55.86
and the... you
know... the music...
00:23:55.90\00:23:57.69
Right... and from then...
00:23:57.73\00:23:59.40
my managers got me into
writing some screenplays
00:23:59.44\00:24:03.10
and so I started
writing some movies
00:24:03.13\00:24:04.47
for New Line
Cinema... and I was developing
00:24:04.50\00:24:06.74
my music career
at the same time...
00:24:06.77\00:24:08.42
because I was a rapper...
and so... I was involved in all
00:24:08.45\00:24:12.99
the lifestyle that
went along with that...
00:24:13.03\00:24:15.09
I was just really all
about the fast life...
00:24:15.12\00:24:17.14
always partying...
00:24:17.18\00:24:18.76
sold drugs... you
know... I smoked marijuana...
00:24:18.79\00:24:21.52
I drank all those
types of things...
00:24:21.55\00:24:25.14
and as a result
of... those practices...
00:24:25.17\00:24:29.26
I put myself in a
position spiritually...
00:24:29.29\00:24:33.06
where the devil was
able to enter into me...
00:24:33.10\00:24:37.04
Hmmm... hmmm... I was,
what many people thought,
00:24:37.08\00:24:40.98
was a prolific
writer because I pretty much
00:24:41.02\00:24:43.68
was like an order writer...
00:24:43.72\00:24:45.01
I could write a movie
script in like 2 weeks...
00:24:45.04\00:24:47.61
I could write a
movie script in 3 days...
00:24:47.64\00:24:50.35
I'd write pilots for
TV Programs in 4 days...
00:24:50.38\00:24:53.05
and my managers were
amazed at that... but...
00:24:53.09\00:24:57.73
I remember one day
00:24:57.77\00:24:59.00
I was at home
00:24:59.04\00:25:00.21
and I looked in the mirror,
00:25:00.25\00:25:01.30
and when I looked in
the mirror I saw that
00:25:01.33\00:25:03.31
there was something in
my eyes that wasn't me...
00:25:03.35\00:25:06.72
and I realized that
whatever was present
00:25:06.76\00:25:09.38
with me... was
that which was giving me
00:25:09.41\00:25:12.60
the ability to be so
successful, you know,
00:25:12.64\00:25:15.79
with everything that I
was doing in the streets
00:25:15.83\00:25:18.12
and in the Industry...
and so I smiled because
00:25:18.16\00:25:20.38
I wanted to be successful,
I wanted to be respected...
00:25:20.42\00:25:23.62
I wanted to be
rich and famous etc...
00:25:23.66\00:25:25.44
but, you know, the
Lord... in round-about ways...
00:25:25.48\00:25:29.88
ways that I can't
even recall in my mind
00:25:29.91\00:25:32.71
don't even know of...
He was evidently speaking
00:25:32.74\00:25:35.54
to my heart...
because... fast forwarding...
00:25:35.58\00:25:38.02
I'll never forget one
day... I went up to an
00:25:38.06\00:25:41.25
Uptown Spanish Harlem
Dykeman Posting Academy
00:25:41.28\00:25:44.41
I'm sure some people out there
know what I'm talking about,
00:25:44.44\00:25:46.43
Yeah... yeah... I
lived in New York too...
00:25:46.46\00:25:50.27
and I went to go, you
know, pick up some drugs
00:25:50.31\00:25:53.87
from my supplier...
and as I had those drugs,
00:25:53.90\00:25:57.08
on my person... I did
something that I never
00:25:57.11\00:26:00.25
would do... and
I went to the park
00:26:00.29\00:26:02.19
and I rolled up
a blunt to go smoke
00:26:02.23\00:26:04.07
and all of a sudden... as
I went to start smoking...
00:26:04.10\00:26:06.31
the Lord just
started speaking to me
00:26:06.34\00:26:09.42
in my head... I had a
"Damascus Road Experience"
00:26:09.46\00:26:11.39
and the Lord said,
00:26:11.43\00:26:12.59
"Chris, you need to
stop selling these drugs... "
00:26:12.62\00:26:14.70
and I just said, "Lord, I need
to stop selling these drugs"
00:26:14.73\00:26:16.93
He said, "Chris, you
need to stop smoking"
00:26:16.97\00:26:18.60
and I said, "Lord, I
need to stop smoking"
00:26:18.63\00:26:20.19
He said, "Chris, you need
to stop writing the movies... "
00:26:20.23\00:26:22.57
and I said, "Lord, I need
to stop writing these movies. "
00:26:22.61\00:26:25.25
He just kept on going...
going, telling me what I needed
00:26:25.28\00:26:26.88
to stop doing... and He said,
00:26:26.92\00:26:28.03
"You need to go to school
and become a preacher... "
00:26:28.06\00:26:29.59
and so I said, "I'm going to go
to school and become a preacher"
00:26:29.62\00:26:31.64
so, that day,
00:26:31.67\00:26:35.45
when I got
home... one of my friends
00:26:35.49\00:26:38.79
that always was
with me in the Studio...
00:26:38.83\00:26:40.67
gave me a call and
asked me what I was going
00:26:40.71\00:26:42.49
to be doing that
evening... and I told him,
00:26:42.53\00:26:44.24
"Hey, I'm not going to
go to the Studio anymore...
00:26:44.27\00:26:46.74
I'm not writing
movies anymore...
00:26:46.77\00:26:47.97
I'm not doing
the music anymore...
00:26:48.00\00:26:49.13
not smoking
anymore... I'm getting ready
00:26:49.16\00:26:50.84
to go to School to
become a Preacher... "
00:26:50.87\00:26:52.48
he said, "What!"
00:26:52.51\00:26:53.60
he said, "I was in the
studio with you last night...
00:26:53.63\00:26:56.38
we were smoking
together last night... "
00:26:56.42\00:26:58.35
he said, "I'm not going
to work, I'm coming over... "
00:26:58.39\00:27:02.43
and you're going to
tell me what happened...
00:27:02.46\00:27:04.52
You see, God can take you...
00:27:04.56\00:27:07.03
in whatever state you're in...
00:27:07.07\00:27:09.48
and change your
life... just like that...
00:27:09.51\00:27:12.94
I wish we had more
time, I mean... now...
00:27:12.98\00:27:16.38
the time just flew by...
00:27:16.41\00:27:17.97
I wish... we had more time...
00:27:18.00\00:27:19.83
but thank you so much for
sharing what God has done...
00:27:19.86\00:27:23.79
and thank you
so much for sharing
00:27:23.83\00:27:25.14
about these contemporary
issues that we have...
00:27:25.18\00:27:28.61
will you come
back to Urban Report?
00:27:28.65\00:27:30.33
Oh, whenever you'll have me...
00:27:30.37\00:27:31.96
Oh, that would be great,
00:27:31.99\00:27:33.42
that would be
great... thank you so much
00:27:33.45\00:27:35.03
may God bless you...
00:27:35.07\00:27:36.11
I'm gong to have you back...
00:27:36.14\00:27:38.04
All right... All right...
00:27:38.07\00:27:39.90
Chris gave us so
much to think about...
00:27:39.93\00:27:42.71
you know, the
Bible, in Matthew 24
00:27:42.74\00:27:45.37
teaches that many
will come in Christ's name
00:27:45.41\00:27:48.49
and will deceive
many... we also know that
00:27:48.52\00:27:51.53
all who live Godly...
will suffer persecution...
00:27:51.56\00:27:54.24
but we have the power
through the Holy Spirit
