GOT A GATOR PROBLEM?
THESE ARE THE GUYS YOU
CALL.
MY NAME IS PAUL, AND I AM
NOT CRAZY.
Lee: THE STORY OF
ANIMAL PLANET'S GATOR BOYS
SHARES HOW AND WHY HE
WRANGLES THE BEASTS.
PLUS, HARNESS THE POWER OF
MIRACLES.
Pat: NOTHING WILL BE
IMPOSSIBLE TO YOU.
Lee: USING THE LAWS OF
THE SECRET KINGDOM.
Pat: MOUNTAIN MOVE,
DEBT GO OUT OF THE WAY,
MARRIAGE BE RESTORED.
Lee: TODAY ON "THE 700
CLUB."
*
Pat: WELCOME, FOLKS, TO
THIS EDITION OF "THE 700
CLUB."
IF YOU LISTEN TO THE NOISE
COMING OUT OF THE WHITE
HOUSE, TOMORROW ASTEROIDS
WILL HIT, THE STARS WILL GO
IN ALIGNMENT, GREAT FLOODS
WILL COME UPON THE EARTH,
THE SEAS WILL ROYAL, AND
PEOPLE WILL DIE BY THE
THOUSANDS, AND THOUSANDS OF
IMMIGRANTS WILL BE RELEASED
FROM PRISON TO PILLAGE AND
RAMPAGE ACROSS THE FACE OF
THE EARTH.
THAT'S JUST THE START.
BUT WHAT IF NOTHING
HAPPENS?
IT JUST IS A NON-EVENT.
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE SCARED
OF, THAT WHEN THIS SEQUESTER
HAPPENS, NOTHING GOES ON.
Terry: AND THERE IS
EVEN A LITTLE BACKTRACKING
FROM THE PRESIDENT, SAYING
"MANY OF YOU MAY NOT
NOTICE," MANY OF YOU MAY,
BUT MANY OF YOU MAY NOT.
Pat: WE'RE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT BOB WOODWARD,
FROM WOODWARD AND BERNSTEIN,
IN THE THINGS WITH NIXON,
AND WATERGATE.
HE IS GOING AFTER THE
PRESIDENT PRETTY HARD
BECAUSE HE DOESN'T THINK
HE
IS BEING SQUARE WITH THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
ANYHOW, WE'LL GET TO ALL OF
THAT, AND PLUS OUR
DISTINGUISHED CO-HOSTESS,
BEAUTIFUL LADY, IS GOING TO
WRESTLE A GATOR.
Terry: WELL, NOT
EXACTLY.
BUT I AM GOING TO TALK TO
SOMEONE WHO WRESTLES
GATORS.
Pat: YOU WILL HAVE THE
GATOR.
Terry: WELL, I'LL LOOK
AT THE GATOR, MAYBE PET THE
GATOR IF HE SAYS IT IS SAFE
TO DO THAT.
HE IS BEAUTIFUL.
Pat: THEY MAKE NICE
SHOES.
Terry: BUT THAT'S NOT
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE
DOING.
Pat: THIS IS A GUY WHO
SAVES GATORS.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE GATOR.
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE UNITED
STATES, BY THE WAY, IS GOING
TO START HELPING THE REBELS
IN SYRIA.
THE CIVIL WAR THERE HAS BEEN
GOING NEARLY TWO YEARS.
70,000 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
KILLED.
Terry: THOUSANDS MORE
HAVE BEEN HURT OR HAD TO
LEAVE THEIR HOMES, AND NOW
CHURCHES ARE REACHING OUT TO
HELP THE THESE REFUGEES.
CHRIS MITCHELL HAS THE
STORY.
Reporter: OSAMA IS ONE
OF 6,000 REFUGEES.
THE SITUATION IN SYRIA IS
VERY BAD, VERY DANGEROUS.
PRESIDENT ASSAD DESTROYED
EVERYTHING.
HE DESTROYED HOMES.
I LIVE IN HOMES.
HE DESTROYED THE CITY, AND
MOST OF THEM HAVE NO WORK,
NO FOOD, NO WATER, NO
ELECTRICITY.
THEY ARE IN A BAD SITUATION
NOW.
Reporter: ACCORDING TO
THE U.N., THESE REFUGEES ARE
SPREAD ACROSS TURKEY,
LEBANON, AND JORDAN.
NOW SOME OF THOSE REFUGEES
AND THEIR CHILDREN ARE
FINDING RELIEF.
SOME CHURCHES IN JORDAN ARE
TRYING TO REDEEM THE TRAGEDY
IN SYRIA.
AND MANY OF THESE SYRIAN
REFUGEES ARE EXPERIENCING
THE LOVE OF CHRISTIANS FOR
THE VERY FIRST TIME.
THIS PASTOR REACHES OUT TO
HUNDREDS OF THESE REFUGEES.
IT IS DANGEROUS WORK, SO WE
HID HIS IDENTITY FOR
SECURITY REASONS.
TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO
SHOW THE LIGHT INSIDE THE
DARKNESS.
THE PEOPLE GO OUTSIDE SYRIA,
AND THEY'RE HOPELESS, AND
ALSO, BEFORE THEY DIDN'T
HAVE A CHANCE TO LISTEN
ABOUT THE GOSPEL, ABOUT
JESUS.
BUT RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A
CHANCE TO SHOW THEM THE LOVE
AND NURSING AND OUR FAITH
THROUGH WHAT WE DO FOR
THEM.
Reporter: THEIR HELP
INCLUDES HOT MEALS, CHURCH
SERVICES FOR THE CHILDREN,
AND CLOTHES FOR FAMILIES WHO
OFTEN HAVE NOTHING BUT WHAT
IS ON THEIR BACKS.
SOME OF THESE CHILDREN WENT
FROM CONDITIONS LIKE THIS TO
THIS.
[YELLING]
Reporter: AND THERE ARE
OPPORTUNITIES TO TALK WITH
SOMEONE ABOUT THEIR
SITUATION.
MANY OF THESE MUSLIMS WOMEN,
SOME NOW WIDOWED, WOULD NOT
HAVE STEPPED INSIDE A CHURCH
IN SYRIA.
IT IS AGAINST THE LAW FOR
ANYBODY TO TALK WITH THEM
ABOUT JESUS.
BUT HERE BECAUSE THEY ARE IN
NEED -- AND WE DON'T WANT TO
SAY WE ARE USING THEIR
NEEDS, BUT WHILE WE ARE
FEEDING THEM AND TAKING CARE
OF THEM, THERE IS
OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THE
LOVE OF GOD, WHICH IS MORE
IMPORTANT THAN THE FOOD AND
THAN THE CLOTHING.
SO WE ARE CARING ABOUT THEIR
SOULS AS WE CARE ABOUT THEIR
BODIES.
Reporter: IT'S A
MINISTRY OSAMA APPRECIATES.
WE NEED IT.
IT IS GOOD FOR US RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY
WORK.
WE NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN
GET.
IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE FOR US
RIGHT NOW.
Reporter: CHRIS
MITCHELL, CBN NEWS, JORDAN.
Pat: THAT SITUATION IS
VERY VOLATILE, AND IT IS
HARD TO UNDERSTAND.
THE RULING POWER IN SYRIA,
THEY ARE ALAWITES, AND IT'S
A SOME SECT WHO, I GUESS,
WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH
SOME OF THE LEADERS IN THE
ARAB WORLD.
THE SAUDIS ARE BACKING THE
OPPOSITION.
THE IRANIANS ARE UNDOUBTEDLY
BACKING THE SYRIANS IN
PART.
AND ARE WE GOING TO BE
GIVING WEAPONS TO THOSE WHO
WILL ULTIMATELY BE OUR
ENEMIES?
WE DON'T QUITE KNOW THAT.
WE STEPPED IN VERY HARD IN
THE OLD DAYS.
WHEN THE FREEDOM FIGHTER,
THE MAJAHOOD HADIN WERE
FIGHTING IN AFGHANISTAN
AGAINST THE RUSSIANS.
THEY, IN TURN, MORVED
MORPHED INTO SOME OF THE
WORST ENEMIES WE'VE GOT.
SO YOU DON'T KNOW QUITE WHAT
TO DO.
I THINK JOHN KERRY IS COMING
DOWN ON THE SIDE WE'VE GOT
TO HELP THESE SO-CALLED
REBELS.
HERE AT HOME, INTERESTINGLY,
THE WHITE HOUSE HAS GOTTEN
INTO A WAR OF WORDS WITH ONE
OF THE BEST-KNOWN WASHINGTON
REPORTERS.
AND LEE WEBB HAS THAT STORY
FROM THE CBN NEWS.
Lee: FAMED "WASHINGTON
POST" JOURNALIST BOB
WOODWARD SAYS PRESIDENT
OBAMA IS
DISPLAYING A KIND
OF MADNESS HE HASN'T SEEN IN
A LONG TIME.
HE IS CRITICIZING PRESIDENT
OBAMA'S DECISION NOT TO
DEPLOY THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER
TRU MAN BECAUSE OF THE
AUTOMATIC SPENDING CUTS.
HE SAID IT IS
MADNESS FOR
THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF NOT
TO PROTECT NATIONAL SECURITY
AND THEN FLAME I BLAME IT
ON A PIECE OF PAPER.
HE SAID A SENIOR WHITE HOUSE
POSITION WARNED HIM HE WOULD
REGRET PUBLISHING HIS COLUMN
LAST WEEKEND.
WOODWARD WROTE IN THAT
COLUMN THAT IT WAS PRESIDENT
OBAMA WHO CAME UP WITH THE
IDEA OF THE SEQUESTER.
IT WAS SAID VERY CLEARLY
YOU WILL REGRET DOING THIS.
Reporter: WHO SAID
THAT?
WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO
SAY.
Reporter: WAS IT A
SENIOR PERSON?
A VERY SENIOR PERN.
IT MAKES ME VERY
UNCOMFORTABLE HAVING THE
WHITE HOUSE TELLING
REPORTERS YOU'RE GOING TO
REGRET DOING SOMETHING THAT
YOU BELIEVE IN.
Reporter:
AND
WOODWARD
ALSO SAID
HE
DOESN'T BELIEVE
THE PRESIDENT WOULD SUPPORT
A
COMMUNICATION STRATEGY OF
THREATENING REPORTERS.
STILL, YOU HAVE
TO
WONDER
WHEN HE SAYS "THE KIND OF
MADNESS THIS ADMINISTRATION
IS
DISPLAYING," IF THAT IS
NOT SO SUBTLE COMPARISON TO
RICHARD NIXON.
Pat: AND THOSE GUYS
WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR
BRINGING DOWN NIXON,
WOODWARD AND BERNSTEIN, AND
THE THING ABOUT WATERGATE.
IT WAS THEIR REPORTING, AND
DEEP THROAT, AND ALL OF THAT
BUSINESS THAT BROUGHT DOWN
NIXON.
I THINK OBAMA IS PLAYING
WITH FIRE IF HE IS PLAYING
WITH WOODWARD, WHICH IS A
NICE, AIMIABLE PERSON.
HIS WRITING -- HE HAS
UNLIMITED -- EXTRAORDINARY
ACCESS TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
AND THESE OF COURSE
ADMINISTRATIONS.
AND SUDDENLY HE IS BEGINNING
TO SAY THAT OBAMA IS THE ONE
WHO STARTED THE SEQUESTER,
AND OBAMA IS TRYING TO DENY
IT, BUT HE HAS HIS HANDS ALL
OVER AND HE DOESN'T WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE IT.
Lee: REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS IN THE SENATE HAVE
COME UP WITH THEIR OWN
PLANS.
DEMOCRATS WANT TO POSTPONE
THE CUTS UNTIL THE END OF
THE YEAR, AND COME UP WITH
OTHER WAYS TO LIMIT
SPENDING.
REPUBLICANS WANT TO KEEP THE
AUTOMATIC SPENDING CUTS.
THEY WOULD LET PRESIDENT
OBAMA, HOWEVER, REDO THE
BUDGET TO MAKE THE CUTS
EASIER TO BEAR, BUT THEIR
BILL WOULD NOT LET THE
PRESIDENT TO RAISE TAXES.
NEITHER SIDE EXPECTS
THEIR
PLANS TO
PASS.
CONCERNS ABOUT THE SEE
SEQUESTER IS NOT BOTHERING
WALL STREET.
STOCKS CAME WITHIN 60% OF
THEIR HIGHS.
AND SHOPPERS ARE STILL
SPENDING MONEY, EVEN THOUGH
THEY'RE PAYING MORE IN
SOCIAL SECURITY TAXES THIS
YEAR.
SOME ANALYSTS EXPECT A
CORRECTION, BUT OTHERS SAY
THE LONG-TERM OUTLOOK FOR
STOCKS VERY GOOD.
THE FOUNDER OF THE SUBWAY
FAST FOOD CHAIN SAYS HE
COULD NOT START HIS COMPANY
TODAY BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO
MANY GOVERNMENT
REGULATIONS.
FRED DILUKA SAYS IT HAS
CONTINUOUSLY GOTTEN WORSE
BECAUSE THERE IS MORE AND
MORE REGULATIONS, AND IT IS
TOUGHER FOR PEOPLE TO GET
INTO BUSINESS, ESPECIALLY A
SMALL BUSINESS.
"I TELL YOU, IF I STARTED
SUBWAY TODAY, SUBWAY WOULD
NOT EXIST BECAUSE I HAD AN
EASY TIME IN THE '60s,
WHEN I STARTED, AND I SEE A
CONTINUOUS
INCREASE
IN
REGULATIONS."
AMERICA'S POLITICIANS CAME
TOGETHER TO HONOR ROSA
PARKS.
PARKS WAS ARRESTED IN 1955
FOR REFUSING TO GIVE UP HER
SEAT ON A BUS TO A WHITE MAN
IN MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA.
THAT LED TO A PROTEST.
PRESIDENT OBAMA SAID PARKS
SET AN EXAMPLE OF TRUE
LEADERSHIP.
President Obama: WE
CELEBRATE A SEEMSTRESS,
SLIGHT IN STATURE, BUT
MIGHTY IN SPIRIT.
ANY BURDEN CAN BE
LIFTED.
Lee: ROSA PARKS DIED IN
2005 AT THE AGE OF 92.
AND LEGENDARY PIANIST VAN
CLIBURN HAS DIED.
HE PLAYED FOR EVERY
PRESIDENT AND HEADS OF STATE
AROUND THE WORLD.
HE WON AN AWARD AT 23.
JUST SIX MONTHS AFTER THE
SOVIETS LAUNCHED SPUTNIK AND
STARTED THE SPACE RACE.
AND HE SAYS HE LOVED THE
RUSSIAN PEOPLE AS WELL.
HE PLAYED FOR MIKHAIL
GORBACHEV IN 1987.
HE WAS FROM FORT WORTH
TEXAS, AND HE WAS 78 YEARS
OLD.
Pat: HE WAS A VERY
GRACIOUS GUY, AND A DEAD
DEDICATED CHRISTIAN, A
WONDERFUL MAN.
TERRY, WE HAD SORT OF A FUN
THING.
WE WERE DOING A RALLY, I
BELIEVE IT WAS IN
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, AND
SO WE WERE IN AN ARENA --
Terry: IS THIS WHEN YOU
WERE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT?
Pat: NO.
IT WAS SOMETHING FOR CBN.
WE WERE DOING A TELETHON,
AND IT WAS OVER MEMORIAL
DAY -- IT WAS THAT
TIMEFRAME.
THERE WAS AN ARENA THAT HAD
THREE PARTS TO IT.
SO THREE PARTS.
SO THEY HAD A HEADLINE, AND
BILL, AND IN THE MIDDLE PART
WAS A WRESTLING TOURNAMENT.
ON THE ONE HAND WAS VAN
CLIBURN HAVING A CONCERT,
AND ON THE OTHER HAND WAS ME
DOING MY THING.
THE BILLING SAID PAT
ROBERTSON WRESTLING VAN
CLIBURN.
I'LL TREASURE THAT MOMENT.
I DIDN'T TRY TO TAKE ON HIS
VIRTUOSO.
HE WAS A TREMENDOUS PIANIST
AND A VERY, VERY NICE GUY.
Terry: AND STILL AHEAD,
HE'S BEEN BITTEN 30 TIMES,
FIVE
OF WHICH WERE ON HIS
HEAD.
PAUL BEDARD TALKS ABOUT WHY
HE WRESTLES REPTILES.
PLUS, HE'LL REVEAL A SIDE OF
HIMSELF YOU WON'T SEE ON
ANIMAL PLANET.
ALL OF THAT IS COMING UP.
FIRST, A LOOK AT A NEW FORM
OF IMMIGRATION REFORM,
COMING FROM AMERICA'S
PEOPLE.
Pat: IMMIGRATION HAS
BECOME AN EVEN HOTTER
POLITICAL ISSUE SINCE LAST
NOVEMBER'S ELECTION.
BUT IN THE HEARTLAND OF
AMERICA, SPIRITUAL LEADERS
IN KEY STATES ARE TAKING A
GRASSROOTS APPROACH TO
IMMIGRATION.
THEY'RE TALKING TO PEOPLE IN
THE PIECE.
PEWS, AND AS HEATHER CELLS
EXPLAINS, THAT COULD LEAD TO
ACTION IN WASHINGTON.
Reporter: AS FIRST
PRESBYTERIAN IN COLORADO
SPRINGS, IMMIGRANTS FLOOD IN
EVERY WEEK.
THEY'RE REFUGEES, NEWLY
ARRIVED IN THE U.S. AND
EAGER TO LEARN ENGLISH.
CHURCH MEMBERS ARE TUTORING
THEM AND GETTING A DOSE OF
INSPIRATION THEMSELVES.
MOST OF THEM TAKE THE BUS
AND TRANSFER TWO OR THREE
TIMES TO GET TO CLASS.
AND THEY'RE JUST SO DILIGENT
ABOUT SHOWING UP EVERY DAY.
IT IS JUST AMAZING TO ME
THE COURAGE THAT IT TAKES
FOR THEM TO COME HERE.
Reporter: THIS
INTERACTION BRINGS THE
IMMIGRATION ISSUE DIRECTLY
TO CHURCH MEMBERS AND
HEIGHTENS THEIR AWARENESS OF
THE NATIONAL DEBATE.
ONCE YOU HAVE NAMES AND
FACES TO PUT WHAT IT, IT NO
LONGER IS THIS ISSUE THAT
YOU JUST READ ABOUT IN THE
NEWSPAPER.
Reporter: BUT NOT ALL
CHURCHES HERE GET SO
ACTIVELY INVOLVED.
FOR YEARS MANY CHURCHES IN
COLORADO HAVE SIMPLY BEEN
UNAWARE OF IMMIGRANT
COMMUNITIES RIGHT IN THEIR
MIDST.
THAT IS ONE REASON WHY A
GROUP CALLED THE EVANGELICAL
IMMIGRATION TABLE DECIDED TO
REACH OUT.
I THINK WHEN YOU DON'T
KNOW IMMIGRANTS AND YOU
DON'T INTERACT WITH THEM, IT
IS JUST NOT ON YOUR RADAR.
Reporter: THE GROUP
BEGAN JUST LAST SUMMER, AND
ALREADY ITS MEMBERSHIP
INCLUDES MAJOR PLAYERS LIKE
"FOCUS ON THE FAMILY," AND
THE "SOUTHERN BAPTIST
CONVENTION."
WASHINGTON WANTS TO SECURE
U.S. BORDERS, PROTECT THE
UNITY OF THE FAMILY, AND
PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
EARNED CITIZENSHIP.
I DON'T KNOW IF A FEW
YEARS AGO WE WERE IN THE
GAME.
BUT WE DEFINITELY RECOGNIZE
OUR NEED TO BE THERE AND TO
WORK TOGETHER.
Reporter: THE E.I. T.
IS ALSO TAKING ITS GAME TO
CHURCHES WHERE THE
IMMIGRATION POPULATION HAS
EXPLODED.
STATES LIKE FLORIDA, TEXAS,
AND COLORADO.
THE GOAL: TEACH WHAT THE
BIBLE SAYS ABOUT IMMIGRANTS
AND ENCOURAGE MINISTRY.
A VIDEO CAMPAIGN SAYS IT
ALL.
I WAS A STRANGER, AND YOU
INVITED ME IN.
I NEEDED CLOTHES, AND YOU
CLOTHED ME.
Reporter: NEW LIFE IN
COLORADO SPRINGS IS ONE
CHURCH THAT IS ALREADY ON
BOARD.
AS A CHRIST FOLLOWER, I
THINK WE'RE COMPELLED BY
SCRIPTURE, BY CHRIST, TO
WELCOME ANYONE WHO IS AMONG
US THAT NEEDED HELP.
Reporter: ALTHOUGH
PASTOR BOYD SAYS HE RESPECTS
THE RULE OF LAW, CARING FOR
IMMIGRANTS IS IN HIS VIEW,
SIMPLE THEOLOGY.
IT HAS BROADENED ITS
UNDERSTANDING OF THE ISSUE
WITH THE CREATION OF A
WOMEN'S HEALTH CLINIC.
IT ATTRACTS IMMIGRANTS, BOTH
LEGAL AND UNDOCUMENTED.
AS WE GET TO KNOW OUR
PATIENTS, WE FIND THESE ARE
INCREDIBLY COMPLICATED AND
DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND
EVERYONE HAS A UNIQUE
STORY.
Reporter: RINA THOMPSON
TRANSLATES FOR
SPANISH-SPEAKING PATIENTS.
SHE SAYS MANY CROSS THE
BORDER AND SEND MONEY BACK
TO THE FAMILY.
I CAN'T IMAGINE HAVING MY
KIDS IN OTHER COUNTRY AND
PROBABLY NEVER SEEING THEM
AGAIN.
Reporter: THE CENTER
FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES
ARGUES WHILE THE BIBLE CALLS
INDIVIDUALS TO ACTS OF
KINDNESS, GOVERNMENTS MUST
PROVIDE JUSTICE.
WHICH VIEW PREVAILS COULD BE
DECIDED IN THE COMING MONTHS
IN WASHINGTON.
EVANGELICALS HAVE THE
NUMBERS TO POTENTIALLY SWAY
LAWMAKERS, BUT MANY HAVEN'T
THOUGHT TO THE ISSUE OR HOW
IT RELATES TO THEIR FAITH.
CONSIDER ONLY 7% OF ADULTS
WITH DECISIONS ON
IMMIGRATION, SAY RELIGION IS
THE MOST IMPORTANT INFLUENCE
ON THEIR VIEW.
COMPARE THAT TO GAY
MARRIAGE, WHERE RELIGION
INFLUENCES 35%.
MY END GOAL IS TO SEE THE
CHURCH BE A PART OF THAT
PROCESS, AND NOT TO KIND OF
BURY THEIR HEADS IN THE SAND
OR BE A PART OF WHAT DRIVES
THAT NEGATIVE RHETORIC.
ANTI-IMMIGRANT SENTIMENT
SHOULD NOT BE IN OUR VIEWS.
Reporter: IN THE
MEANTIME, CHURCH ATTITUDES
ARE ALREADY CHANGING.
FOR PAM, IT STARTED WHEN SHE
BEGAN TO MORE CAREFULLY
EXAMINE HER BIBLE.
IT TALKS ABOUT THE WIDOW,
THE ORPHAN, THE STRANGER IN
THE LAND, THESE VULNERABLE
GROUPS.
I HAVE TO RESPOND TO THAT,
OR I'M JUST PRETENDING
CHRISTIANITY.
I'M NOT REALLY DOING IT.
Reporter: AND A DRIVE
AROUND COLORADO SPRINGS
SHOWS VISIBLE CHANGES AS
WELL.
LIKE THE SIGN OUTSIDE THIS
MENNONITE CHURCH, THAT SHOWS
A PERUVIAN GROUP NOW MEETS
HERE.
WE ARE ABOUT 30, 40
PEOPLE, BUT THEY SAID YOU
ARE THE CHURCH OF GOD.
YOU ARE OUR BROTHERS, AND
YOU NEED TO USE THE SAME
CENTER WE ARE USING.
Reporter: ACROSS THE
STATE, PASTORS MEET MONTHLY
TO PRAY FOR IMMIGRANTS.
THEY'RE NOT POLITICAL
MEETINGS, BUT WHO KNOWS.
SUCH PRAYERS COULD INFLUENCE
NOT ONLY HEARTS IN COLORADO,
BUT THOSE IN WASHINGTON AS
WELL.
REPORTING IN COLORADO,
HEATHER CELLS, CBN NEWS.
Pat: IT IS TIME WE
RECOGNIZE THAT THE
IMMIGRANTS ARE SWEET,
WONDERFUL PEOPLE.
MANY, MANY OF THEM LOVE
GOD.
THEY SHARE THE SAME VALUES,
AND THEY'RE JUST LOOKING FOR
A BETTER LIFE.
THEY'RE TRYING TO LOOK AFTER
THEIR CHILDREN.
WE WERE DOWN IN MEXICO WITH
THE FLYING HOSPITAL, AND
MANY OF THE WOMEN WERE THERE
ALONE BECAUSE THEIR HUSBANDS
HAD GONE TO THE UNITED
STATES SEEKING SOME
EMPLOYMENT BECAUSE THEY WERE
DESPERATELY POOR.
THEY'RE HURTING, AND IF WE
CAN CAN HELP THEM, WE NEED
TO DO IT.
AND STOP ALL OF THIS HARSH
RHETORIC.
WE HAVE SO MUCH ANGER.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS
DEALT ITSELF WHAT COULD BE A
MORAL BLOW IN ITS ATTITUDE
TOWARDS IMMIGRATION.
IT IS TIME IT EASES UP AND
BEGIN TO LOVE THESE PEOPLE.
WE DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP OUR
LAWS AND WE NEED TO KEEP THE
BORDER PROTECTED AND ALL
THAT, BUT THESE ARE PEOPLE,
JUST LIKE WE ARE, AND THEY
WANT THE SAME THINGS WE DO.
WELL, THERE IS ONE THING
THAT I DON'T WANT, IS TO
HAVE AN ALLIGATOR IN MY
HOME.
[LAUGHTER]
Pat: BUT TERRY HAS
WELCOMED ONE.
THAT SHOWS THE ATTITUDE OF
LOVE WE SHOW HERE.
DO YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT
THE GUEST THAT YOU'VE
WELCOMED?
Terry: ABSOLUTELY.
COMING UP, WE HAVE THE DEBUT
OF A LIVE ALLIGATOR ON "THE
700 CLUB."
AND HE HAS HIS HANDLER WITH
HIM.
CHECK OUT GATOR BOY PAUL
BEDARD IN OUR GREEN ROOM.
AND STAY TUNED TO SEE WHAT
HAPPENS ONCE PAUL AND HIS
GATOR GET INSIDE OUR STUDIO
ROOM.
THAT'S COMING TO A
TELEVISION SET SET NEAR
YOU, NEXT.
Terry: IF AN ALLIGATOR
GETS INTO YOUR SWIMMING
POOL, IN YOUR BACKYARD, OR
EVEN INSIDE YOUR HOUSE, WHO
ARE YOU GOING TO CALL?
THE GATOR BOYS.
Reporter: WHEN
ALLIGATORS VENTURE FROM
THEIR NATURAL HABITATS, IT
IS THE TIME OF PAUL AND
JIMMY WHO GO IN AFTER THEM.
MY NAME IS PAUL BEDARD,
AND I AM NOT CRAZY.
Reporter: ON ANIMAL
PLANET'S GATOR BOYS, THEY
CATCH THEM AND RETURN THEM
TO SAFETY.
MAYBE YOUR IDEA OF FUN
DOESN'T INCLUDE WRESTLING
DEADLY GATORS, BUT FOR PAUL,
IT IS MORE THAN A DANGEROUS
JOB.
Terry: UNBELIEVABLE.
PLEASE WELCOME TO "THE 700
CLUB," PAUL BEDARD AND HIS
GATOR.
GREAT TO HAVE YOU WITH US.
DOES YOUR FRIEND HAVE A
NAME?
YES.
THIS IS JUNIOR.
Terry: HOW BIG IS
JUNIOR GOING TO GET?
HOPEFULLY 12, 13 FEET.
Terry: CAN I TOUCH
HIM?
SURE.
Terry: OH, HE IS
GREAT.
I DON'T KNOW, PAT.
I BELIEVE THAT WAS PRETTY
INSENSITIVE TO MENTION
SHOES.
IT'S OKAY.
NOT HERE.
PAUL, CBN HAS BEEN ON THE
YEAR FOR MANY YEARS, AND
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE
EVER HAD A GATOR IN OUR
STUDIO.
SO WE WELCOME BOTH OF YOU.
HOW DO YOU GET INTO THIS?
WHAT IN THE WORLD MADE YOU
SAY ONE DAY, I THINK I'LL
WRESTLE THAT THING.
EVERYBODY IS KIND OF BORN
WITH SOMETHING YOU HAVE A
PASSION FOR.
AND I GREW UP -- I USED TO
LOVE RATTLE SNAKES.
Terry: ALL OF THE CUTE
STUFF.
THE CUTE FLUFFY -- I WAS
A HARD-CORE LITTLE BOY AND I
LIKED ALL OF THE DANGEROUS
ANIMALS.
Terry: THIS IS VERY
DANGEROUS, THIS LINE OF WORK
YOU'VE GOTTEN INTO.
I'M LOOKING AT THE TEETH,
WHICH ARE NUMEROUS.
YOU'VE BEEN BITTEN NUMEROUS
TIMES.
I STOPPED COUNTING AT
25.
Terry: FIVE ON YOUR
HEAD?
YEAH.
IT'S NOT TOO BAD.
I'VE BEEN VERY LUCKY,
ACTUALLY.
Terry: DO THESE GUYS
GET A BAD RAP?
YEAH.
A LOT OF PEOPLE IN FLORIDA
MOVE FROM NEW ENGLAND OR NEW
JERSEY, AND THEY BUY A HOUSE
IN THE EVERGLADES, AND THEY
FREAK OUT WHEN THERE IS A
GATOR IN THEIR BACKYARD, BUT
YOU MOVED INTO THEIR
HABITAT, SO IT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN.
Terry: YOU GO INTO
PLACES WHERE GATORS GET
INTO, PRIVATE PROPERTY, GOLF
COURSES --
EXACTLY.
THINGS LIKE THAT.
Terry: HOW DO YOU CATCH
ONE OF THESE?
A LOT OF GUYS WILL USE A
SNAG HOOK, BUT IF THE WATER
IS REALLY MERKY AND I CAN'T
SEE HIM, THAT IS ONE OF THE
WAYS.
BUT IF HE IS IN CRYSTAL
CLEARWATER, WHICH BY THE
GRACE OF GOD WE HAVE A LOT
OF, I CAN SWIM DOWN AND
APPROACH THEM.
THEY DON'T REALLY SEE YOU AS
A THREAT.
Terry: IS THEIR VISION
NOT GOOD?
THEIR VISION IS A LITTLE
SHAKY, PROBABLY LIKE OURS
WOULD BE WITHOUT A MASK OR
SNORKEL ON.
Terry: YOU ARE JUST
CARRYING THIS LARGE GATOR
AWAY.
YOU HAVE TO TIE THEIR
MOUTH FIRST.
YOU JUST DON'T GO IN AND
GRAB THEM.
THEY'RE REPTILES, AND SO
THEY'RE COLD-BLOODED, AND SO
IT DOESN'T TAKE VERY LONG.
10, 15 MINUTES.
SOMETIMES THEY'LL COME AT
YOU, AND YOU HAVE TO KNOW
HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF.
THEIR NUMBER ONE GOAL IS TO
GET AWAY FROM YOU.
Terry: BUT THEY'RE
DANGEROUS AT BOTH ENDS,
RIGHT, THE MOUTH AND THE
TAIL?
EVERYBODY THINKS THE TAIL
IS DANGEROUS, BUT THE MOUTH
IS THE MOST DANGEROUS.
GIVEN THE OPTION, I'LL GO
WITH THE TAIL.
Terry: I MENTIONED THE
INSENSITIVE REMARK ABOUT
SHOES.
I WANT TO MENTION WHEN YOU
CATCH THESE GATORS ON
PEOPLE'S PROPERTY OR AT GOLF
COURSES, YOU DON'T KILL
THEM?
NO.
WE WILL PUT THEM IN A
PRESERVE.
IF THEY'RE UNDER FOUR FEET,
WE CAN RELEASE THEM BACK
INTO THE WILD.
MOST ARE DESTROYED BECAUSE
AS A TRAPPER, YOU DON'T GET
PAID.
YOU'RE PAID WITH THE
ALLIGATOR.
SO MOST PEOPLE WILL HARVEST
THE ANIMAL.
BUT TO ME, THEY'RE LIKE MY
KIDS, SO I CAN'T DO THAT.
Terry: IT SEEMS TO ME
IN YOUR LINE OF WORK THIS
SHOULD BE A GIVEN, BUT YOU
ARE A MAN OF FAITH?
ABSOLUTELY.
THEY SAY THERE IS NO
ATHEISTS IN FOX HOLES, AND
THERE IS NO ATHEISTS WHEN
YOU'RE MESSING WITH A
GATOR.
Terry: HOW DID YOU COME
TO KNOW THE LORD?
LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE, IT
DEVELOPS OVER TIME.
IT WAS MORE OF A TRIAL AND
ERROR THING.
I SAID, THE MORE I FOLLOW
CHRIST'S TEACHINGS, THE
BETTER MY LIFE GETS AND THE
EASIER YOUR LIFE GETS.
AND IT TAKES A FOOT HOLD AND
YOU START TO OPEN YOUR MIND
UP AND THINK, THIS IS THE
REAL DEAL.
Terry: GOD CERTAINLY
HAS PROTECTED YOU WITH THE
WORK THAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN
WITH THESE PRECIOUS
ANIMALS.
THAT WOULD BE A GOOD NAME
FOR THIS ONE.
I CAN'T STOP TOUCHING HIS
SKIN.
IT IS SO INTERESTING.
WHAT DO YOU FEED HIM?
MOSTLY CHICKEN.
AND THERE IS A GATOR CHOW,
LIKE DOG FOOD.
Terry: IS THIS TRULY
YOUR GATOR?
NO.
THIS IS A FRIEND OF MINE'S.
HE IS A FRIEND OF MINE,
TOO.
Terry: HE IS VERY DOS
SEL DOCILE.
HE IS USED TO HUMAN
CONTACT.
A WILD GATOR DOESN'T HAVE
THAT REACTION BECAUSE YOU'RE
A PREDATOR TO HIM, AND
THAT'S WHEN IT GETS REALLY
DANGEROUS.
Terry: WHAT'S THE MOST
DIFFICULT SITUATION YOU'VE
BEEN AS FAR AS HAVING TO
CATCH A GATOR.
THERE IS A LOT.
THE ONES WE CAUGHT IN
MISSISSIPPI, WHEN WE WERE
DOWN THERE, THOSE WERE A
CHALLENGE BECAUSE IT IS A
DIFFERENT TERRAIN.
I'M USED TO CRYSTAL CLEAR
WATER.
IN MISSISSIPPI, THERE IS A
LOT OF MUD.
WE GET STUCK UP TO OUR
WAIST.
I FOUND A FEW GATORS BUMPING
THEM WITH MY HEAD UNDER
WATER.
Terry: PAUL, THERE
MIGHT BE A BETTER WAY.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I
THOUGHT.
Terry: LET THOSE
MISSISSIPPIANS CATCH THEIR
OWN GATORS.
MY TECHNIQUES WEREN'T SO
GOOD FOR MISSISSIPPI RIGHT
OFF THE BAT.
Terry: PEOPLE LOVE THE
SHOW.
I THINK YOU'VE GIVEN PEOPLE
A NEW APPRECIATION FOR AN
ANIMAL THAT HAS BEEN AROUND
A LONG TIME THAT IN ITS OWN
WAY IS VERY BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU.
APPRECIATE IT.
Terry: IF YOU WOULD
LIKE TO SEE MORE OF PAUL
WRESTLING GATORS, YOU CAN
WATCH HIM AND HIS PARTNER,
JIMMY, ON ANIMAL PLANET'S
"GATOR BOYS," AND YOU CAN GO
TO cbn.com FOR A WEB
EXCLUSIVE WITH PAUL.
HE MUST HAVE HEARD THE SHOE
COMMENT BECAUSE HE IS MOVING
AWAY FROM YOU, PAT, WITH AS
MUCH SPEED AS HE CAN MUSTER
ON THIS SLICK FLOOR.
Pat: THAT WOULD MAKE A
NICE PAIR OF LOAFERS.
I THINK THE CROCODILES AND
THE ALLIGATORS MAY GOING
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
YEARS.
THEY ARE SOME OF THE FIRST
ON THIS PLANET --
Terry: HE IS HEARING
YOUR COMMENTS.
Pat: I'M COMPLIMENTING
HIM.
HOW OLD ARE THESE THINGS?
NOT HIM, BUT THE SPECIES
ITSELF.
THEY SAY UP TO
215 MILLION YEARS.
I'M NOT SURE HOW THEY
PINPOINT THAT.
Terry: A GATOR TOLD
THEM.
Pat: HE IS GOING SOME
PLACE.
HE LIKES IT HERE.
BE CAREFUL.
IF THERE IS A DOG OUT, HE'LL
FIND LUNCH.
ALL RIGHT.
STILL AHEAD, DISCOVER THE
SECRET TO UNLOCKING GOD'S
SUPER NATURAL POWER IN YOUR
LIFE.
IT IS CALLED THE LAW OF
MIRACLES.
THAT IS COMING UP.
PLUS, LATER WE'RE GOING TO
MEET A LIVING MIRACLE.
A LITTLE GIRL NAMED
NICOLLETTE.
WELCOME TO WASHINGTON FOR

HE SAID DOCTORS DIAGNOSED
HIM WITH MYOLOMA ONE WEEK
AGO AND GAVE HIM A WINDOW OF
SURVIVAL OF THREE TO FOUR
YEARS.
HIS TREATMENT BEGAN THIS
WEEK.
THE 57-YEAR-OLD WRITES, "MY
LIFE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT
MINISTRY.
I HAVE A CALL FROM GOD TO
TOUCH LIVES WITH THE GOSPEL
OF JESUS CHRIST, AND THAT'S
WHAT I WILL DO UNTIL THE
LORD CALLS ME HOME."
WE CERTAINLY WISH HIM WELL.

PAT AND TERRY WILL BE BACK
WITH MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB,"
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
Terry: DO YOU NEED A
MIRACLE IN YOUR MARRIAGE, A
HEALING IN YOUR PHYSICAL
BODY, OR MAYBE A FINANCIAL
BREAKTHROUGH?
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WHEN
YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THE LAW
OF MIRACLES WORKS.
PAT EXPLAINS IT IN THIS
SEGMENT FROM "THE SECRET
KINGDOM."
Pat: MIRACLES -- WHAT
IS A MIRACLE?
HOW DO YOU HAVE A MIRACLE?
WELL, IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT
A DEFINITION, A MIRACLE IS A
SUSPENSION OF WHAT SEEMS TO
BE THE NATURAL LAWS TO BRING
ABOUT ANOTHER RESULT.
AND YOU CAN LOOK AT ALL
KINDS OF THINGS AND SAY THIS
IS MIRACULOUS.
AN EXAMPLE OF JESUS -- AND
HE DID MANY MIRACLES -- HE
AND HIS DISCIPLES HAD BEEN
OVER IN THE TEMPLE MOUNT IN
JERUSALEM.
HE WALKED DOWN INTO WHAT IS
CALLED THE KIDRON VALLEY.
IT IS NOT VERY DEEP.
I'VE WALKED THERE.
IT IS NOT A BIG PLACE.
YOU GO DOWN INTO THIS LITTLE
RAVINE, AND YOU GO UP A HILL
CALLED THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
SO HE WENT UP THERE WITH HIS
DISCIPLES, TO A LITTLE TOWN
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
MOUNT OF OLIVES.
THERE HE SPENT THE NIGHT AND
HE CAME OUT THE NEXT
MORNING.
AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HE
WAS HUNGRY.
AND SO HE SAW A FIG TREE
THAT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS IN
LEAF AND BEARING FIGS.
SO HE WENT OVER TO IT AND
THERE WERE NO FIGS.
NO FRUIT.
AND SO HE SAID TO THIS FIG
TREE, LET NO MAN EVER EAT
FRUIT FROM YOU AGAIN.
THEN HE WENT TOW DOWN THE
HILL, UP THE OTHER SIDE,
INTO WHAT WE KNOW AS THE
TEMPLE MOUNT.
MOUNT OF OLIVES ON ONE SIDE,
KIDRON VALLEY AND THEN THE
OTHER SIDE.
IT IS NOT LIKE A BIG PLACE.
IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE
CLIMBING THE ROCKIES.
IT IS JUST A HILL.
SO HE GOT UP THERE AND HE
FOUND TERRIBLE STUFF GOING
ON.
HE FOUND PEOPLE SELLING SICK
PIGEONS AND HAWKING TEMPLE
COINS AND DOING ALL KINDS OF
THINGS.
WELL, HE WAS ENRAGED.
AND HE SAYS, IT IS WRITTEN
THAT MY FATHER'S HOUSE
SHOULD BE CALLED A HOUSE OF
PRAYER, AND YOU MADE IT INTO
A DEN OF THIEVES.
SO HE SMASHED OPEN THE CAVES
WHERE THE BIRDS WERE, AND
TOTAL CHAOS.
AND HE STARTED BEATING THEM
AND DRIVING THEM OUT OF THE
TEMPLE.
AND THEN THEY WENT BACK UP
TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES,
SPENT THE NIGHT AND CAME OUT
THE NEXT DAY.
WHEN THEY PASSED BY THIS
LITTLE TREE, THIS FIG TREE,
THE LITTLE THING HAD
SHRIVELLED UP AT ITS ROOTS.
IT WAS TOTALLY DEAD.
AND PETER WANTED TO CALL
ATTENTION TO IT.
AND HE SAYS, MASTER, THE FIG
TREE THAT YOU CURSED IS
DEAD!
AND ALONG WITH THAT WAS KIND
OF, LIKE, HOW DID YOU DO
IT?
AND SO JESUS DIDN'T SAY,
WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO
KNOW, PETER?
HE JUST STARTED TEACHING.
AND HE SAID, HAVE FAITH IN
GOD.
HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
AND WHOEVER SAYS TO THIS
MOUNTAIN, BE REMOVED AND
CAST INTO THE SEA, AND DOES
NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART,
SHALL HAVE THE THINGS THAT
HE SAYS.
NOW, THAT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF
MIRACLES RIGHT THERE.
HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
YOU DON'T HAVE FAITH IN
DOCTORS.
YOU DON'T HAVE FAITH IN
MEDICINE.
YOU DON'T HAVE FAITH IN
YOURSELF.
YOU DON'T HAVE FAITH IN YOUR
MONEY.
YOU DON'T HAVE FAITH IN ALL
OF YOUR NATURAL ABILITIES.
YOU HAVE FAITH IN GOD, WHO
IS THE AUTHOR OF ALL LIFE.
WHO IS ALMIGHTY AND ALL
POWERFUL.
WHO CAN DO ANYTHING.
AND YOU HAVE FAITH IN HIM.
AND THEN YOU ARE IN THE
PRESENCE OF GOD.
AND YOU BEHOLD HIS GLORY.
AND YOU'RE IN A STATE OF
BEING BORN AGAIN.
AND YOU LOOK UP INTO THE
FACE OF GOD AND YOU SAY,
GOD, WHAT DO YOU WANT?
AND HE SPEAKS TO YOU.
HE WILL SPEAK AND
COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR
SPIRIT.
AND THEN YOU SAY, IN THE
NAME OF JESUS, I CURSE YOU
VICTORY.
MOUNTAIN MOVE.
DEBT GO OUT OF THE WAY.
MARRIAGE BE RESTORED.
WHATEVER IT IS THAT IS ON
YOUR HEART.
YOU SAY IT, YOU SPEAK IT
WITH YOUR MOUTH.
HERE IS HOW IT WORKS.
THERE IS SO MUCH TO TALK
ABOUT AND SO LITTLE TIME.
BUT THE PRINCIPLE OF POWER
COMES FROM THIS: IT COMES
FROM GOD, WHO IS THE ETERNAL
MIND.
GOD SPEAKS TO HIS SPIRIT.
THE SPIRIT SPEAKS TO YOUR
SPIRIT.
YOUR SPIRIT SPEAKS TO YOUR
MIND.
YOUR MIND SPEAKS TO YOUR
MOUTH.
YOUR MOUTH SPEAKS TO THE
CREATED UNIVERSE AROUND
YOU.
SO YOU SPEAK TO DEVILS.
YOU SPEAK TO DISEASE.
YOU SPEAK TO POVERTY.
YOU SPEAK TO FAMINE.
YOU SPEAK TO STORMS.
YOU SPEAK IN THE NAME OF THE
LORD.
BUT IT COMES BY HAVING THE
WORD OF GOD ENERGIZED IN
YOUR MOUTH.
BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN IN HIS
PRESENCE, AND YOU'VE BEHELD
HIS GLORY, AND YOU'VE
LISTENED TO HIS VOICE, AND
YOUR SPEAKING WHAT HE SAYS.
HE SAYS, MY WORD IN YOUR
MOUTH IS AS POWERFUL AS MY
WORD AND MY MOUTH.
THAT'S A PRETTY HEAVY THING,
BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.
AND JESUS SAID THERE IS
NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE, NOTHING
WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO YOU.
AND HE SAYS GREATER WORKS
WILL YOU DO THAN I DO
BECAUSE I'M GOING TO MY
FATHER.
NOW THIS IS THE PRINCIPLE
AND THE LAW OF MIRACLES.
NOW, THERE IS ONE OTHER
THING ABOUT MIRACLES THAT
YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND.
HE SAID, WHEN YOU STAND
PRAYING, IF YOU HAVE OUGHT
AGAINST ANY, FORGIVE THAT
YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER MIGHT
FORGIVE YOU.
I REMEMBER SOME YEARS AGO I
WAS ASKED TO SPEAK TO A
CONFERENCE IN SINGAPORE.
AND IT WAS A NICE GROUP OF
CHINESE PEOPLE, CHRISTIANS.
AND WHEN I CAME OUT AT A
BREAK, THERE WAS THIS LITTLE
LADY WHO SAID, I'VE GOT
ARTHRITIS, AND I ASK YOU TO
PRAY FOR ME.
AND I SAID SURE.
AND SO I LAID HANDS ON HER
AND IN THE NAME OF JESUS, BE
HEALED.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
STILL GOT ARTHRITIS.
SO LET'S PRAY AGAIN.
SO I SAID, LET'S PRAY
AGAIN.
AND SHE SAID, I STILL HAVE
ARTHRITIS.
I SAID, LET ME ASK YOU
SOMETHING.
AND SHE SAID, WHAT'S THAT?
I SAID, ARE YOU ANGRY WITH
ANYBODY, DO YOU HAVE SOME
RESENTMENT IN YOUR HEART?
AND SHE SAID, OH, NO.
I LOVE EVERYBODY.
I DON'T HATE ANYBODY.
AND I SAID HOW ABOUT YOUR
HUSBAND?
AND SHE SAID, OH, I HATE
HIM, BUT HE DOESN'T COUNT.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, YOU'VE
GOT TO COUNT YOUR HUSBAND OR
YOUR WIFE OR YOUR KIDS OR
YOUR PARENTS.
YOU CAN'T SAY IT IS A FAMILY
MATTER.
IF YOU HAVE RESENTMENT IN
YOUR HEART -- JESUS SAID IN
ORDER TO BE IN THAT POSITION
OF BEING BORN AGAIN, YOU
HAVE TO BE IN THE POSITION
OF BEING FORGIVEN.
IN ORDER TO BE IN A POSITION
OF BEING FORGIVEN, YOU HAVE
TO FORGIVE OTHERS, THOSE WHO
HAVE OFFENDED YOU.
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE MIRACLES
AND YOU WANT TO BE IN THE
PRESENCE OF GOD, YOU HAVE TO
BE ABLE AND WILLING TO
FORGIVE.
SO IT IS HARD TO DO.
YES, IT IS HARD TO DO.
FIRST OF ALL, IF IT IS HARD
TO FORGIVE THEM, START
ASKING FOR A BLESSING WHEN
YOU PRAY.
I ASK GOD TO BLESS THEM.
WHOEVER HAS OFFENDED YOU,
ASK GOD TO BLESS THEM
BECAUSE THIS IS THE KEY.
THIS IS THE THING THAT WILL
LOCK UP THE POWER OF GOD.
THIS IS THE THING THAT WILL
OPEN THE FLOODGATES OF HIS
PRESENCE.
HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
AND THE NEXT THING IS SPEAK
WITH YOUR MOUTH.
HAVING LISTENED TO HIM, BEEN
IN HIS PRESENCE, THEN SAY
WHAT YOU WANT.
COMMAND THE MOUNTAIN TO
MOVE.
COMMAND THE DISEASE TO
LEAVE.
COMMAND THE DEMONS TO LEAVE
YOU.
COMMAND -- SPEAK IN THE NAME
OF JESUS.
BECAUSE HE SAID THE NEXT
THING IS DON'T DOUBT IN YOUR
HEART.
THE BIBLE SAYS IF TWO OF YOU
AGREE AND TOUCHING ANYTHING
AND ASK, IT WILL BE DONE BY
MY FATHER IN HEAVEN.
THERE HAS TO BE AGREEMENT.
WHAT IS THE AGREEMENT?
THE AGREEMENT IS WITH THE
HOLY SPIRIT.
WITH YOUR SPIRIT.
AND YOU DON'T DOUBT.
YOU DON'T SAY I DON'T REALLY
BELIEVE THIS BECAUSE THEN
YOU DON'T HAVE AGREEMENT.
THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS SAYING,
I WANT TO HEAL YOU.
AND YOU SAY AMEN.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I AM
HEALED.
BUT IF YOU SAY OH, NO, THE
DOCTOR TOLD ME I HAVE AN IN
CURABLE DISEASE, I CAN'T GET
HEALED.
JESUS SAID YOU DON'T DOUBT
IN YOUR HEART.
AND IF YOU DON'T DOUBT IN
YOUR HEART, YOU WILL HAVE
THE THING THAT YOU SAY.
SO SPEAK IT
IN JESUS' NAME.
[APPLAUSE]
Terry: "THE SECRET
KINGDOM," THAT'S JUST A
PORTION OF THAT BOOK THAT
WAS SUCH A BEST-SELLER FOR
PAT.
AND SECRETS OF LIFE FROM THE
WORD OF GOD.
Pat: THE LORD OPENED UP
TO ME THINGS THAT I HAD
NEVER SEEN.
I'VE BEEN TO SEMINARY, I
HAVE READ THE BIBLE, AND ALL
OF A SUDDEN HE GAVE ME A
WHOLE NEW LOOK AT WHAT HIS
TEACHINGS ARE, AND THEY ARE
REVOLUTIONARY.
FOR EVERYBODY,
REVOLUTIONARY.
Terry: I LOVE
REINHART'S QUOTE, WHAT THE
LORD SPOKE IN MY MOUTH AND
YOUR MOUTH IS AS POWERFUL AS
THE WORD IN HIS MOUTH.
THAT IS THE KINGDOM POWER
HAD IS AVAILABLE IN THE
SECRET KINGDOM.
IF YOU GO TO cbn.com, TAKE
A LOOK AT ALL OF THEM
BECAUSE IT IS REALLY PRETTY
AWESOME.
Pat: I'M THRILLED, AND
I'M THRILLED THIS HAS
TOUCHED MANY, MANY LIVES
AROUND THE WORLD.
THE MOTHER IN OUR NEXT STORY
HAS EXPERIENCED THE LAW OF
MIRACLES FIRSTHAND.
DOCTORS TOLD ANDREA SHE
WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO
CONCEIVE A BABY, THAT IT WAS
IMPOSSIBLE FOR HER TO
CONCEIVE.
BUT SHE DIDN'T LISTEN TO THE
DOCTORS.
SHE LISTENED TO THE VOICE OF
GOD.
Reporter: ANDREA LOVED
HER HUSBAND MARSHAL, AND HER
STEPSON COLE DEEPLY, BUT SHE
LONGED TO HAVE HER OWN
CHILD.
THEY TOLD ME I WOULD
NEVER HAVE CHILDREN.
WHEN WE WENT TO THE
SPECIALIST, WHERE THE
REGULAR DOCTOR HAD REFERRED
US, HE ACTUALLY TOLD ME THAT
HE COULDN'T RAISE THE DEAD
AFTER SEEING WHAT MY INSIDES
LOOKED LIKE.
IT IS A TRYING TIME WHEN YOU
WANT SO BAD FOR A CHILD, AND
EVERYBODY AROUND YOU IS
GETTING PREGNANT AND HAVING
BABY SHOWERS.
AND I WOULD BE, LIKE, I
DON'T WANT TO GO TO THIS
BABY SHOWER.
NOT ANOTHER BABY SHOWER.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE ONE OF
THOSE PEOPLE WHO COULDN'T BE
HAPPY FOR SOMEBODY ELSE, BUT
IT WAS HARD AT TIMES.
Reporter: ONE DAY SHE
WAS WATCHING TELEVISION.
"THE 700 CLUB" WAS ON AND
TERRY WAS ON.
Terry: THE WOMAN WHO
HAS HAD A DIAGNOSIS THAT YOU
ARE BARON, GOD IS GOING TO
GIVE YOU CHILDREN, THE
DESIRE OF YOUR HEART.
I FELT WARMTH AND JOY AND
JUST EXCITED.
I HAD BEEN TOLD MANY TIMES
TO WAIT WITH EXPECTATION
WITH GOD'S PROMISES, AS
CHILDREN WOULD WAIT FOR
CHRISTMAS MORNING.
SO THAT'S WHAT I FELT LIKE,
EXCITED.
SO I ACTUALLY WENT TO THE
STORE, THAT THINGS ONLY COST
A DOLLAR IN, BECAUSE I HAD
SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON
PREGNANCY TESTS, AND I
PURCHASED ONE THERE AND IT
TESTED POSITIVE.
I WENT TO GET MY HUSBAND, TO
SHARE THAT NEWS WITH HIM.
I SAID, COME AND LOOK AT
THIS.
AND AT THAT TIME, WE HAD NO
IDEA IF YOU CAN GET A FALSE
POSITIVE.
I WENT TO THE DOCTOR THAT
SAME WEEK.
AND HE SAID THERE WERE NO
FALSE POSITIVES, AND IF IT
SAID I WAS, I, INDEED, WAS.
AND THEN WE WERE ABLE TO
SPREAD THE NEWS TO EVERYBODY
ELSE.
WHEN I GAVE BIRTH TO
NICOLLETTE, IT GAVE ME THE
FEELING OF BEING WHOLE.
THE PITTER PATTER OF LITTLE
FEET, AND THE KIND OF THINGS
MOMS GET TO DO.
SNUGGLING AND PRAYING
TOGETHER.
ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
IT IS JOY COMPLETE,
FULFILLMENT LIKE I NEVER
KNEW.
GOD IS CAPABLE OF DOING
ABOVE AND BEYOND ANYTHING
THAT YOU DARE TO THINK OR
ASK.
Pat: GOD IS ABLE,
EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY THAT
ALL YOU COULD SEEK OR ASK.
Terry: MYRTLE SUFFERED
FROM A HERNIA, BUT HER
DOCTOR DIDN'T WANT TO
OPERATE BECAUSE OF HER
ADVANCED AGE.
SHE WAS WATCHING THE SHOW,
AND, PAT, YOU HAD A WORD OF
KNOWLEDGE ABOUT A HERNIA
BEING HEALING, AND SHE
CLAIMED IT.
AND SHE NO LONGER HAS PAIN
AND HER DOCTOR HAS CONFIRMED
HER HEALING.
Pat: RUBY, WHO LIVES IN
SOUTH CAROLINA, HAD TROUBLE
SWALLOWING AND WAS DIAGNOSED
WITH RESTRICTION OF THE
ESOPHAGUS.
SHE SAID I CAN'T HAVE
SURGERY BECAUSE I'M A
SINGER.
BUT SHE HAD TERRIFYING
EPISODES, THINGS WOULD CHOKE
IN HER WINDPIPE.
AND LAST JANUARY, SHE HEARD
TERRY SAYING SOMEBODY, YOU
HAVE A HARD TIME EATING AND
SWALLOWING, JUST TOUCH YOUR
THROAT RIGHT NOW AND RECEIVE
HEALING.
AND GUESS WHAT?
Terry: RUBY GOT
HEALED.
Pat: SHE SWALLOWED AND
WAS HEALED BY THE POWER OF
GOD.
TERRY AND I ARE GOING TO
JOIN HANDS TOGETHER.
I'M GOING TO GET OVER HERE
SO I CAN TAKE HER HAND.
WE'RE GOING TO PRAY
TOGETHER.
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH
GOD.
THERE IS NOTHING
IMPOSSIBLE.
LORD, YOU SAID HAVE FAITH IN
GOD.
NOW, LORD, YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT PUT THE PLANETS AND
STARS IN THE SKY.
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT CREATED
THE EARTH.
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT BROUGHT
FORTH OF SEAS AND THE
MOUNTAINS AND THE MAN ON
EARTH AND THE WOMAN ON EARTH
AND THE ANIMALS AND THE
PLANTS.
YOU DID IT ALL, AND ALL YOU
DID WAS SPEAK THE WORD.
AND SO LIKE THE CENTURION
WHO SAID TO JESUS, JUST
SPEAK THE WORD AND MY
SERVANT WILL BE HEALED.
JUST SPEAK THE WORD AND
TOUCH PEOPLE'S LIVES.
GOD IS GOING TO SUPPLY A
MILLION DOLLARS.
SOMEONE IS PRAYING RIGHT
NOW, RIGHT THIS SECOND,
YOU'RE PRAYING FOR A MILLION
DOLLARS.
GOD SAID, I HAVE HEARD YOUR
PRAYER, I KNOW YOUR NEED,
AND I'M GOING TO SUPPLY THE
NEED YOU HAVE REQUESTED.
IT IS DONE, IN JESUS' NAME.
TERRY?
Terry: TWO CONDITIONS
OF THE HEAD.
ONE IS SOMEBODY -- YOU'RE
EARS, YOU'VE LOST SO MUCH
HEARING, AND IT FEELS LIKE
YOUR EARS ARE STOPPED UP,
LIKE YOU'RE HEARING UNDER
WATER.
YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR A POP
IN YOUR EARS, AND YOUR
HEARING IS GOING TO TOTALLY
OPEN.
AND YOU'LL HAVE FREE HEARING
AGAIN.
SOMEONE ELSE, YOU HAVE A
SITUATION WITH YOUR HEAD.
THERE IS A FORGETFULNESS.
YOU FEEL A LITTLE FOGGY ALL
OF THE TIME.
GOD IS JUST RENEWING ALL OF
THAT TO YOU.
YOU WILL NOT HAVE THAT
ANYMORE.
YOUR GOING TO HAVE CLARITY
OF THOUGHT.
YOU'RE MEMORY IS GOING TO
FUNCTION WELL AND EVERYTHING
WILL BE NORMAL.
Pat: THERE IS AN INNER
CITY CHURCH, AND YOU'RE
FACING WHAT LOOKS LIKE A
CHURCH SPLIT.
THERE ARE PEOPLE ANGRY ON
EITHER SIDE.
GOD IS GOING TO POUR OIL ON
THAT SITUATION.
THE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO COME
TOGETHER, AND GOD IS GOING
TO BLESS YOU.
JUST RECEIVE THAT BLESSING.
FATHER, FOR EVERYONE ELSE IN
THIS AUDIENCE, MAY THE
ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
REST ON THEM, FILL THEM WITH
YOUR SPIRIT, AND ANSWER
THEIR PRAYER IN JESUS'
NAME.
AMEN.
WHEREVER YOU ARE, PLEASE
CALL IF YOU HAVE FURTHER
NEED AND YOU WANT PRAYER.
RIGHT NOW IT IS TIME TO
ANSWER A FEW E-MAIL
QUESTIONS THAT HAVE COME TO
US.
Terry: IT IS.
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
COMMUNICATED WITH US.
THIS IS SONDRA WHO SAYS, "I
WAS TALKING WITH A FRIEND
ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF
COCONUT OIL, AND SHE TOLD ME
IT WAS A SATURATED FAT AND
WOULD RAISE CHOLESTEROL.
IS THIS TRUE?
HOW DO YOU WEIGH THE
BENEFITS OF SOMETHING IS
GOOD FOR YOU AND BAD FOR YOU
AT THE SAME TIME?"
Pat: THE MAKERS OF
LIPITOR HAVE MADE BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS SELLING US ON THE
THOUGHT THAT CHOLESTEROL IS
THE PROBLEM.
AND YOU'VE GOT THOSE STATIN
DRUGS -- WHATEVER.
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE
CHOLESTEROL TO MAKE YOUR
MIND WORK.
YOUR MIND WORKS ON
CHOLESTEROL.
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE IT IN
YOUR BRAIN.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN
AMOUNT.
YOU'RE BODY MAKES
CHOLESTEROL.
IT IS NOT THE CHOLESTEROL.
IT IS THE STRESS.
IT IS THE IMFLAMMATION THAT
CAUSES THE PROBLEM.
COCONUT OIL IS
EXTRAORDINARILY GOOD FOR
YOU, BUT SO ARE EGGS.
AND TO WORRY ABOUT A LITTLE
BIT OF CHOLESTEROL IS
NONSENSE.
SURE, IT MAY BRING SOME, BUT
IT IS NOT GOING TO HURT
YOU.
THE CHOLESTEROL ISN'T
NECESSARILY A BAD THING.
IT IS THE IMFLAMMATION THAT
IS THE BAD THING.
WHAT
ELSE?
Terry: THIS IS A VIEWER
WHO SAYS, "IS IT WRONG TO
EXPECT BETTER FOR MYSELF.
I REPEATEDL RECENTLY LOST
MY JOB, AND HAD A COUPLE OF
INTERVIEWS, BUT THE SALARIES
WEREN'T VERY GOOD.
SHOULD I TAKE WHAT COMES OR
WAIT FOR SOMETHING BETTER.
EACH DAY COUNTS FOR ME.
I SUPPORT MYSELF."
Pat: THERE IS NOTHING
WRONG WITH LOOKING FOR
SOMETHING BETTER, BUT I DO
BELIEVE, FRANKLY, IN THIS
ENVIRONMENT THAT WE'RE IN,
YOU BETTER TAKE THE BLESSING
OF GOD THAT IS OFFERED TO
YOU.
IF THERE IS A GOOD JOB
OFFERED TO YOU, TAKE IT AND
BEGIN TO GROW AND THEN LOOK
FOR ANOTHER OPPORTUNITIES.
BECAUSE IF YOU'RE OUT OF
WORK, ON THE SHELF, YOU GET
LESS AND LESS DESIRABLE AS
AN EMPLOYEE EVERY DAY YOU
LIVE.
THE SOONER YOU GET EMPLOYED
AGAIN, THE BETTER OFF YOU'LL
BE.
Terry: BIRD IN THE HAND
IS WORTH --
Pat: JUST PRAISE THE
LORD FOR WHAT IS THERE.
IF YOU'VE GOT THREE OR FOUR
OPTIONS, LET HIM SHOW YOU
THE RIGHT ONE.
BUT DON'T SIT AROUND WAITING
FOR THAT PERFECT THING TO
COME ABOUT.
Terry: WANDA SAYS, "I
HAVE TWO 401Ks, ONE FROM
MY PREVIOUS EMPLOYER.
THAT IS JUST ENOUGH TO PAY
OFF MY FINAL CREDIT CARD
DEBT.
MY PLAN IS TO PUT THE SAME
AMOUNT OF MONEY AS THE
CREDIT CARD DEBT WAS TO PAY
FOR FUTURE CARRY PAIRS, HOME
OWNERS INSURANCE, ETC.
SHOULD I PAY IT OFF OR ROLL
IT INTO THE OTHER 401K
STRIKERS.
Pat 401K?"
Pat: I DON'T KNOW
ENOUGH ABOUT YOUR SITUATION
TO GIVE YOU A REALLY
INTELLIGENT ANSWER.
BUT MOST ADVISORS ADVISE
AGAINST CASHING IN.
YOU'RE GOING TO PAY INCOME
TAX ON THE WHOLE AMOUNT.
IF YOU'VE GOT $100,000, IT
ISN'T THAT YOU'LL GET
$100,000.
YOU'LL GET $60,000, OR
$70,000.
I DON'T THINK AN EMPLOYER IS
GOING TO BONUS YOU UP ON A
SECOND 401.
BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD OPEN
UP A SELF-DIRECTED I.R.A.,
AND PUT THE MONEY IN THE
I.R.A., AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE
A TAX ADVANTAGE IN THE
I.R.A. PLUS A 401.
AND THEN THE TIME WILL COME
WHEN YOU CAN SWITCH THEM ALL
INTO THE I.R.A. .
THAT WOULD BE MY ADVICE, BUT
I DON'T KNOW YOUR
SITUATION.
Terry: HERE IS ONE FROM
JAN I THINK YOU CAN ANSWER
IN THE TIME WE HAVE LEFT,
"SHOULD YOU TITHE ON SOCIAL
SECURITY BENEFITS?"
Pat: YES.
Terry: LINDA SAYS, "I
KNOW WE'RE TO FORGIVE
TRESPASSES AGAINST US, BUT I
CAN'T FORGET WHAT HAS
HAPPENED.
DO I HAVE TO SOCIALIZE
SOMEONE AFTER THEY HAVE HURT
ME?"
Pat: NO, BUT YOU NEED
TO FORGIVE IN YOUR HEART.
START PRAYING FOR THE
PERSON.
PRAY GOD'S BLEG ON THEM.
PRAY GOD'S BLESSING ON
THEM.
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE
IN A DIFFERENT MODE.
INSTEAD OF SAYING I HATE
THEM, KEEP ME FROM HATING
THEM, YOU'RE SAYING, GOD,
REACH OUT AND BLESS THEM,
CHANGE THEIR HEART.
Terry: BUT YOU CAN DO
THAT WITHOUT THEM COMING
INTO YOUR CIRCLE.
Pat: YOU DON'T HAVE TO
GET BACK INTO SOMEBODY WHO
IS NASTY.
THOSE THINGS ARE CORROSIVE,
AND YOU DON'T NEED THAT.
GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH
THAT.
TOMORROW ON "THE 700 CLUB,"
WE'VE GOT AN INTERVIEW WITH
THE VERY LOVELY ROMA DOWNEY,
WHO STARRED IN THE SHOW
"TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL."
AND WE HAVE MARK BARNETT,
WHO IS THE PRODUCER OF THE
"SURVIVOR."
AND WE LEAVE YOU TODAY WITH
THESE WORDS FROM LUKE: "FOR
WITH GOD, NOTHING WILL BE
IMPOSSIBLE."
THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.
AND WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN
TOMORROW AS WE CONTINUE "THE
700 CLUB."
GOD BLESS YOU.
