00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,120
I'm John Madarazzo for CharismaNews.com, and these are your top stories of the week.

8
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,520
We're going to start off by talking about this powerful moment with Russell Brand

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:38,600
and Tucker Carlson and joining me today is the author of this article, James Lasher.

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,640
James, it's great to have you here on CharismaNews.com.

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,160
Thanks for having me, John.

12
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:44,680
Really, really appreciate it.

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:49,320
And just amazed by this this viral video now of Russell and Tucker on stage

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,800
and just the subject matter that they were talking about.

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,680
Yeah, so they had a bit of a long conversation.

16
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,200
This is part of Tucker's tour.

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,760
And he's going city to city and having great interaction with different people.

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,760
And he had Russell Brand on stage.

19
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,080
What are some of the things that they were talking about that that drew our attention?

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,800
So one of the things that you see in the videos that have just gone viral now,

21
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:18,280
millions of people are viewing this and it's really how Russell Brand is fulfilling

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,920
the call that Jesus gave to us in the Book of Matthew.

23
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,800
And specifically, the verse that really drew my attention was when Jesus spoke

24
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,600
to his disciples and those listening to them.

25
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,560
If you will pronounce my name, if you declare my name in front of man,

26
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,640
I will say your name in front of the Father.

27
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:41,800
And that is exactly been what Russell Brand has been doing ever since his life

28
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,040
transforming baptism in the River Thames this past April.

29
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,120
I know there was a lot of kind of skepticism people had towards Russell Brand,

30
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:56,120
because when you think of a Christian spreading the name of Jesus worldwide,

31
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,640
Russell Brand was not really the person image that came to your mind.

32
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,560
He might have had the look, but he didn't have the character.

33
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,680
Yeah, 100 percent.

34
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,600
But it has been nonstop with Russell.

35
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:14,840
He continues almost daily to put out at least one video talking about his faith.

36
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,480
Also, this includes questions he has.

37
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,400
He's still very young in his faith, which he admits,

38
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,800
but he's digging deep into the word, which is what we all need to do.

39
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,920
No matter if you've been a Christian your entire life,

40
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:30,920
if you're new to the faith, if you're somewhere in between,

41
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:34,040
he just keeps going back to the word, back to the word,

42
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,760
and he keeps declaring the name of Jesus.

43
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:43,080
He's not just giving the kind of generic, I believe in God that we see a lot in American culture.

44
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,160
People will say, well, I'm spiritual.

45
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,600
I believe in God.

46
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,800
Not what Russell was doing.

47
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,960
Russell was saying Jesus Christ is my personal Lord and Savior.

48
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,440
I believe that he died on the cross and rose three days later from the grave

49
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,280
and has power over sin and death and that he's going to come back.

50
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,800
He's going to come again and establish his eternal kingdom.

51
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:10,920
What Russell is doing, I can't think of a celebrity salvation or celebrity transformation

52
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:17,960
so just authentic that he has been doing for months now and it hasn't stopped.

53
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:18,440
That's the thing.

54
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:24,440
He, if anything, he is growing now in the scope because what we see in this video is he was

55
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:30,840
invited in Phoenix, Arizona at the Tucker Carlson Live Tour and this is now being viewed by millions

56
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:38,520
of people worldwide and what they're viewing is an evangelistic event almost with the amount that

57
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:45,000
Russell is talking about the importance and of Jesus Christ but also the spiritual warfare

58
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,640
that is going on behind the scenes of the political arena worldwide.

59
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:50,120
Yeah.

60
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,520
Well, let's take a look at a short clip and then we have a longer clip later of this powerful

61
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,040
prayer but right now I'm going to play this clip where he's talking about his son and I want to

62
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,240
get your comments.

63
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:06,120
Thankfully by the excellence of those surgeons and by the grace of our Lord God and my personal

64
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,160
Savior Jesus Christ, my son is well.

65
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,520
Right there he says, my Lord and Savior, my personal Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

66
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,720
He doesn't just go with the generic God term.

67
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,080
He's naming Jesus.

68
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:20,520
Absolutely.

69
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,080
And he comes from a very logical place.

70
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:28,040
He talks about rationalism a lot in his videos and he acknowledges like there were surgeons

71
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,000
who performed this.

72
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,760
It wasn't the case which we believe God has certainly done many times where somebody was

73
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:41,400
just healed without medical intervention but he does also recognize the source, who gifted

74
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,520
these surgeons their abilities, who created them.

75
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,120
God is the creator of all things.

76
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:53,960
He created us in his image and even he gives the Lord praise in all things for, I mean,

77
00:04:53,960 --> 00:05:01,480
the very idea of your 12-week-old son going into surgery or your child, son, daughter,

78
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:07,640
your child going in for such an important surgery and now it's done nothing but boost

79
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:12,360
his faith even more and in turn he's telling people, you know, we will overcome by the

80
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,920
blood of the lamb and the words of our testimony.

81
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:20,520
And this is part of Russell's testimony and it's really hitting with a lot of people.

82
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,680
It's resonating in their hearts because when they hear the name of Jesus, they're hearing

83
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:30,200
the truth and that is what Russell is pointing people back to just again and again.

84
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,000
It's Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.

85
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:33,720
Amen.

86
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:39,240
Well, let's take a look at this powerful moment at the end of this interview here and we can

87
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,760
interject as we need to here.

88
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:41,320
Right.

89
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,400
Or who was the most radical being that we have ever known?

90
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,320
Who loved more than anyone else?

91
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,480
Who forgave more than anyone else?

92
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,960
Who gave themselves that we might live?

93
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,280
I can think of, I can't see in secularism any solution.

94
00:05:56,280 --> 00:06:01,240
I can't see in politics anything other than the green shoots of possible change in the

95
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,000
alliances that we've touched upon.

96
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,200
But in our Lord and Savior, I can see the hope and redemption that was promised us and

97
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,400
that will be my path.

98
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:12,120
Wow.

99
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:13,160
Wow.

100
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,920
That's, that's very powerful there.

101
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,640
And then Tucker responds in a way that is very unique and we're going to continue this right here.

102
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,800
So I, I've never asked this before.

103
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,320
We haven't talked about this and I, I mean this in the most open possible way.

104
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,400
Not everyone's going to share your beliefs from my beliefs, but would you close in prayer?

105
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:35,880
Oh yeah.

106
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:38,920
He's excited about this.

107
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:39,480
This is great.

108
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,040
He is so stoked to be able to pray for the group there.

109
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:49,960
I call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our heavenly Savior, Lord Humbly in this great

110
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:58,280
congregation in Phoenix, Arizona with my host Tucker Carlson in deference to him, but in

111
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:04,440
ultimate deference to you, our Lord and Savior to whom we are all your younger siblings and

112
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,560
your children.

113
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:11,240
I pray in your name that the forthcoming election be an opportunity for unity for America and

114
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,800
for Americans, for forgiveness and for grace.

115
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,160
That the dark and demonic forces that appear to operate at the level of the state, the deep

116
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,960
state and the corporate and global world experience your light Lord, that we are guided, that

117
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,200
you guide all of our tongues and all of our words and all of our hearts, that we feel

118
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,520
your forgiveness and that we feel your grace.

119
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,040
Thank you Lord for the many gifts that you have best, bestowed upon us.

120
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,760
Thank you for the glory of consciousness itself in which we can experience you and live you.

121
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,560
Thank you for the beauty of nature in which we see your wisdom and your creativity and

122
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:44,840
your infinite glory.

123
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,000
Thank you Lord for the many leaders and thank you Lord that you were born and died

124
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,240
that we may be forgiven and that we may have eternal life, not through merit or anything

125
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:58,360
that we have individually achieved for surely all of us are fallen, but in your holy name,

126
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,080
we are forgiven by your act of redemption, by your sacrifice.

127
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,280
In your name we pray.

128
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:04,780
Amen.

129
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:06,140
Amen.

130
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:08,920
I got chills brother.

131
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,400
I got chills when he was praying about that.

132
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:12,920
What do you take away from this?

133
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:18,040
I mean, you can almost kind of see him doing a stadium evangelism at this point because

134
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:24,600
like you said, he gets excited to pray and what he did, and I am guilty of this myself at times,

135
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,080
he did not get partisan with this.

136
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,120
He didn't get tribal.

137
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,600
He didn't select out individuals.

138
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:37,320
What he prayed for was to the one person who can unify the world and that's Jesus Christ.

139
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:42,200
Jesus uses people to bring about this, you know, he uses us as his hands and feet, the light of

140
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:49,160
the world, the salt at his flavor, but he called for Jesus to intervene in these attempts to get

141
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,920
unity like he talked earlier, the radical love, the radical forgiveness, which Jesus was, you know,

142
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,040
to the modern day religious leaders, a complete radical.

143
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,520
They called him a heretic because he said, I am the son of God.

144
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:06,440
I am, you know, he is the Messiah and to those who didn't have, you know, the Lord in their heart,

145
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,800
that they were religioso in how they were acting, you know, brand really brings about

146
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,200
that Christ like behavior.

147
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:22,040
He's calling for the people in these corrupt institutions worldwide that they find Jesus

148
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,040
Christ, that they in turn be saved.

149
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,040
There is no division in his prayer.

150
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:31,320
It's just about unity, finding Christ, finding that salvation and the redemption that he

151
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,040
mentions is found in Jesus Christ.

152
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,240
It's shocking.

153
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:41,160
It really is to see what the Lord has done in his life in such a short amount of time and

154
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:46,200
a lot of, you know, not naming any names, but, you know, there are pastors now, especially in the

155
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,200
United States who won't get political.

156
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:53,480
They won't say, oh, I'm not touching that subject whatsoever, but he's saying we can talk about it

157
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,480
without being offensive.

158
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:00,120
He's praying for those in positions of power who make these decisions and that's what we are

159
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,120
called to do, to pray for our leaders.

160
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:08,360
You know, regardless if there's an R or a D next to their name, like he is really walking the walk

161
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:13,160
from everything that I've seen in these months that he's been sharing this transformative

162
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,160
journey and it is just amazing.

163
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,160
And he's definitely growing more and more.

164
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,560
And I want to encourage everybody watching to put in the comments what your thoughts are about

165
00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:26,920
this prayer, about this, this transformation that is happening in Russell Brand's life.

166
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:33,160
Now we're going to go on to some other stories in just a moment, but James, your story, the whole

167
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:38,600
article, as well as links to watch the entire video are charisma news.com.

168
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,880
The specific article is going to be linked in the description for this video, but James, thank you

169
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,880
so much for taking time to talk more about this.

170
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:51,880
It feels a little bit historic in some ways, especially in our, in our world.

171
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,880
Yeah, maybe the page has been turned.

172
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,880
Yeah, yeah, definitely.

173
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,880
Thanks for having me, John.

174
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,880
Thank you.

175
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,880
Kamala Harris distorts Bible verse for political gain.

176
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:07,320
In this video, which you can see in the article, which will be linked in the description, Vice

177
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:12,120
President Kamala Harris managed to send a video greeting to a Christian conference quoting

178
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:18,120
scripture out of context about Jesus Christ and then didn't even bother to mention his name in

179
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,560
the video.

180
00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:26,120
She said to the African Methodist Episcopal Church Conference, we know that we are just 10 weeks out

181
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:31,720
from the election and I know you are already hard at work organizing souls to the polls, making

182
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,920
sure your members are registered and ready to vote.

183
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:40,680
Harris is preaching the gospel of salvation through government, trying to use a Bible passage

184
00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:42,360
about Jesus Christ to do it.

185
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,480
That certainly feels sacrilegious, according to this article.

186
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,440
We'd love to hear what you have to think about Kamala Harris's use of scripture in the comments

187
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,640
here.

188
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:58,440
Next, we have a gunman is targeting Pastor Greg Locke's home in a shocking attack.

189
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:05,000
And in this picture, you can see all of these tags for the where the bullet casings were found out

190
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,360
on the street in front of Pastor Locke's house.

191
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:14,120
Pastor Greg Locke and his family were the targets of a gunman late Tuesday night, September 3rd.

192
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:19,480
Locke gave the update on Facebook to let people know that he and his family were safe and unharmed

193
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,720
by God's miraculous grace.

194
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,800
He wrote in his post, it's 2 a.m.

195
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,480
And for the last three hours, our home has been a full blown crime scene.

196
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:34,120
According to the security cam footage, we pulled into our driveway exactly one minute after a madman

197
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:40,760
unloaded an entire magazine of bullets from an automatic weapon into our house, garage and my truck.

198
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,480
The sound on the video is truly horrific.

199
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,840
Detectives will still be here for a good while tonight.

200
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,480
Locke said that one of his children was at home when the shooting took place, but thankfully,

201
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:57,880
they were in a different part of the house.

202
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:04,440
You can see the post and multiple pictures that Pastor Greg Locke has posted in the article as well.

203
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,720
We are all being security escorted to a hotel tonight.

204
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,480
We have no further details.

205
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:16,680
The only detail that matters is that Psalm 91 is true and God protected us in unimaginable supernatural ways.

206
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:18,680
Please pray for the Locke family tonight.

207
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:19,560
We love all of you.

208
00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:26,120
Now, this came just as Pastor Greg Locke released his newest book literally on the same day,

209
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,720
The Generosity Journey.

210
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,680
At this sensitive time, we ask that you keep Pastor Locke and his family covered in prayer.

211
00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:37,160
In our next article here, Michael Snyder says, prepare for the worst.

212
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,320
Fifty things everyone should stockpile for chaotic times.

213
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,840
Are you getting prepared?

214
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:48,200
Millions of Americans are stockpiling food and supplies in anticipation of what they

215
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,800
believe is coming.

216
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,320
We are approaching an election.

217
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,360
There's rapidly escalating war in the Middle East.

218
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:59,720
There is alarming natural disasters and there's a potential for another great global pandemic.

219
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:08,680
He says that Newsweek has reported that doomsday prepping has become a $2.46 billion industry.

220
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:14,440
Now he lists 50 basic things that he believes that everyone should be stockpiling.

221
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:20,200
He puts this in the article here and you can read the entire thing here, but just to highlight a few.

222
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:26,360
A generator, water filter, emergency medical kit, different types of non-perishable foods,

223
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:35,560
and last but not least, he says this is a list but not completely comprehensive or in orders.

224
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:41,640
But he says Bibles for every member of your family as well as a bug out bag for every member of your family.

225
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,920
There's important things about this list and you need to check this out and make sure that you are prepared for what is coming.

226
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:52,920
Now we have Rick Joyner releasing a statement over his frustration over Chris Reed's abrupt resignation.

227
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:59,320
After a surprise departure of Chris Reed from Morningstar Ministries last week, the founder,

228
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:05,000
Rick Joyner, spoke to the congregation on Sunday, September 1st about Reed's resignation.

229
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:12,600
Joyner said he was shocked but not surprised. He said,

230
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:19,880
I did not feel that there was a shepherd's heart revealed. A shepherd lays down his life for the sheep and certainly has regard for them.

231
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:26,040
I don't feel like there was regard for me, for our board, any of this stuff that we had entrusted a lot to him.

232
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:33,080
And I don't think to just quit like this is what we ever need to do with anyone and with no notice.

233
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,560
You can watch the full video for yourself and read the article. The link will be in the description below.

234
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:43,080
In our top story right now, Chris Reed makes a statement following his Morningstar resignation.

235
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:50,360
Chris Reed released a statement in a newly uploaded video to YouTube about his resignation with Morningstar Ministries.

236
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:56,360
Hello friends, family. Just to come to you tonight in response to regards to a couple of things.

237
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:02,600
Number one, there seemed to have been some more confusion over my departure from Morningstar.

238
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:10,040
He gives more details about that situation. He said, regarding the suit that is pending,

239
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,200
I could not because I know the victims. Many of them, we've gotten to know them.

240
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:20,120
I made a tough, painful, painful choice and I just didn't care, you know, if I lost everything.

241
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:25,080
If I defend the ministry, then it was like I'm having to go against the victims.

242
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,160
If I defend the victims, then where does the ministry stand?

243
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:35,720
It all happened before we came here and that is why I left. There was absolutely no other reason I left.

244
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:42,600
Reed also addresses something that was previously reported on regarding a woman who was connected to Morningstar a few years ago.

245
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:50,360
Reed acknowledges that his relationship with her was wrong, but says this situation was not part of his decision to leave Morningstar.

246
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,000
Further, he apologizes for what has happened.

247
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:59,240
You can read more details about this in the article, which will be linked in the description below.

248
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,640
