NEW WEEK.

WE HAVE A PROGRAM ABOUT A

I HOPE NO ONE TAKES THIS AS

SOMETHING TO DO, IT IS

DANGEROUS.

NEVERTHELESS IT HAS A GOOD

ENDING.

TENSIONS ARE HEIGHTENING IN THE

MIDDLE EAST AFTER AIR STRIKES

THAT LEFT A HUGE EXPLOSION

IN LEBANON.

TERRY: THAT'S RIGHT, OUR

DAMASCUS ARE A DECLARATION OF

WAR.

ISRAEL CARRIED OUT TWO STRIKES

IN 48 HOURS DESCRIBED AS GAME

CHANGING WEAPONS, ADVANCED

IRANIAN MISSILES OF RANGES OF

180 MILES.

THE ATTACKS HIGHLIGHTED GROWING

IRANIAN MOVEMENT IN SYRIA AND

THE REGION.

ANY RETALIATION WILL BE IN

TEHRAN RATHER THAN DAMASCUS BY

THE ASSAD REGIME.

SYRIA CAN'T RETALIATE WITHOUT

APPROVAL OF IRAN.

ONLY IRAN CAN APPROVE.

IRAN IS A GREAT SUPPORTER.

REPORTER: ISRAEL MOVED

ANTIIRON DOME MISSILES TO

PROTECT ISRAEL.

THEY WERE TAKING THE SITUATION

IN STRIDE.

OFFICIALLY THE ISRAELI

GOVERNMENT HAS NEITHER CONFIRMED

OR DENIED THE STRIKES.

IT WAS ISRAEL'S POLICY NOT TO

ALLOW A CERTAIN KIND OF WEAPON

TO REACH THE HANDS OF

TERRORISTS.

BEYOND THAT MANY QUESTION HOW

THE U.S. SHOULD RESPOND.

WHOLE SITUATION IS BECOMING

MORE AND MORE EXPANSIVE AND

UNFORTUNATELY THE RED LINE THAT

PAT: THERE IS NO WAY SYRIA IS

GOING TO GO TO WAR.

THEY ARE NOT ABOUT TO GO TO WAR.

QUESTION IS, IF SOMEBODY GOES IN

FORCES, DOES THAT MEAN THE UM --

RADICAL LEFTIST WILL WIN?

WHO IS GOING TO WIN?

WHO IS THE OPPOSITION?

WE DON'T KNOW.

I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF VOICES

SAYING THE PRESIDENT IS

INDECISIVE AND OUGHT TO DO

SOMETHING.

I AM NOT SURE WHAT HE OUGHT TO

DO AND I THINK IN THIS CASE A

LITTLE INDECISION ISN'T A BAD

THING.

[LAUGHTER].

FOLKS, WE HAVE BEEN TALKING FOR

MONTHS ABOUT THE STATE OF OUR

CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.

I UNDERSTAND NOW FROM THE HEAD

OF THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE

THAT THERE ARE 500 NEW FEDERAL

CRIMES ADDED EVERY DECADE.

500.

THEY HAVE TAKEN AWAY WHAT IS

CALLED MENS REAL.

THE IDEA THAT YOU ARE COMMITTING

A CRIME.

THESE ARE ACCIDENTAL ACTS, SOME

PEOPLE AREN'T AWARE THEY ARE

COMMITTING CRIMES THAT CAN WIND

THEM UP IN JAIL.

FINALLY CONGRESS IS ABOUT TO

TACKLE THAT HUGE CRIMINAL CODE.

CODE IS SO WIDESPREAD, EVERY

AMERICAN HAS BROKEN SOME LAW,

TEXAS IS GROWING.

TEXAS IS PROSPERING.

TEXAS HAS A HUGE BUDGET SURPLUS.

TEXAS IS CREATING JOBS AS FAST

BECAUSE THEY HAVE OPENED UP

THEIR TREMENDOUS RESOURCES OF

OIL, ESPECIALLY THE SHALES BAR

NET AND OTHERS THEY ARE

EXPLOITING.

THEY HAVE MADE IT EASY TO DRILL,

EASY TO GET PERMITS.

BECAUSE THEY LIKE OIL AND GAS.

CALIFORNIA ON THE OTHER SIDE IS

SUFFERING HUGE HIGH TAXES,

UNEMPLOYMENT RATE, OFF THE

CHARTS, SUFFERING AND MISERY,

WHY?

BECAUSE THE ENVIRONMENTALIST

DON'T LIKE NATURAL GAS, THINK

DON'T LIKE FOSSIL FUELS.

THEY GO FOR THE GREEN JOBS AND

GREEN JOBS AREN'T WORKING.

IT WAS AN AMAZING THING THAT

INDEED, CALIFORNIA WITH RICHES

BEYOND BELIEF ARE TURNING AWAY

THE METHANE GENERATED FROM

ANOTHER AREA FACILITY.

SOME SITES ARE HARVESTING THE

GAS.

THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE

THIS COMBUSTIBLE GAS TO GENERATE

ENERGY, POWER, RUN AUTOMOBILES,

FOR POWER GENERATION, BASICALLY.

GENERALLY IT IS ELECTRICITY

OF SOME TYPE, PUTTING IT BACK ON

THE GRID OR USING IT TO RUN

BUILDINGS CLOSE BY.

REGARDLESS IF IT IS HARNESSED

CONTROLLED.

I WAS WRESTLING WITH LORD, WHY

DID YOU PUT ME ON PLANET EARTH.

TERRY: YOU ARE OFFERED THIS

MONEY.

WHAT DID YOUR WIFE SAY?

SHE WOKE ME UP AT 4:00 IN THE

MORNING.

WE HAD A ROUGH WEEKEND.

SHE TAPPED ME ON THE SHOULDER,

SHE SAID THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY.

[LAUGHTER].

I SAID HONEY, WHAT DO YOU WANT

ME TO DO?

THAT IS MY PIPE DREAM, MY DREAM.

SHE GAVE ME A GIFT I CAN'T EVER

REPAY HER.

SUNDAY LATER THAT WEEKEND, THE

LORD DID NEAT STUFF.

WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS ALL OUT.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET TO AGE

40 AND YOU TELL ME YOU COULD

HAVE BEEN SOMEONE ELSE.

NOW I AM 43 AND MY BOOKS ARE IN

17 COUNTRIES.

THE LORD ALLOWED US TO DO THAT.

TERRY: BEFORE YOU GOT TO

THAT PLACE, 86 REJECTIONS?

I STILL HAVE THEM IN A

FOLDER.

TERRY: WHAT WAS IT LIKE?

SHATTERED ME.

GUT WRENCHING.

THE TWO SENSE THEN, REJECTED,

THAT IS SHATTERING.

TERRY: BOOK IS LIKE GIVING

BIRTH TO A BABY.

SOMEONE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW SAYS

HMM, NOT GOING TO WORK.

IT IS TOUGH.

IT HAS MADE ME HIT MY KNEES.

IT IS ROUGH.

YOU ARE GETTING REACTION.

THAT IS MY SOUL ON THE PAGE.

THEY DON'T WANT IT.

TERRY: DID YOU EVER QUESTION

ALONG THE WAY.

HERE YOU WERE COMMITTED TO YOUR

DREAM, THIS PASSION STIRRING

INSIDE OF YOU, 86 REJECTIONS,

DID YOU EVER SAY, MAYBE I AM NOT

IT.POSED TO DO 

THIS SIDE OF PARADISE

REJECTED 126 TIMES.

I TOLD MYSELF WHEN I GET THERE

I'LL QUIT.

86 WAS GETTING CLOSE.

TERRY: THAT IS A LITTLE

SCARY.

TALK TO ME ABOUT YOUR FAITH AND

HOW IT HAS IMPACTED YOUR WRITING

AND THIS WHOLE PROCESS FOR YOU.

I DON'T HAVE A PLAN B.

THE LORD GIVES YOU THE FAITH YOU

NEED AND GAVE US WHAT WE NEEDED.

I PRAY MY STORIES HONOR THE LORD

AND ON HIS SHELF WHEN I GET

THERE.

TERRY: WHEN YOU GET THERE,

NOT JUST ON THE SHELF.

NOW YOU HAVE A MOVIE DEAL?

IT HAS BEEN IN DEVELOPMENT.

PETER FROM 21ST CENTURY FOX

BOUGHT IT.

I HOPE THEY MAKE A STORY.

I AM PULLING FOR YOU.

I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT

MOVIE.

I AM SO FAR DOWN ON THE TOTEM

POLE.

I FIND OUT WHEN THEY POST IT ON

THE INTERNET.

TERRY: HERE YOU ARE, WHEN

YOU LOOK TO THE FUTURE, WHAT ARE

THE THINGS IN YOUR HEART YOU

WANT TO SEE HAPPEN?

AS I GET OLDER AND I GET

THESE HARD CHALLENGED PLACES.

I REALIZE I AM NOT ALONE.

MY READERS ARE NOT ALONE.

I WANT TO WRITE STORIES THAT GET

TO THE HARD PLACES AND TOUCH

THEM WHERE THEY ARE STILL

TENDER, FORGIVE QUICKLY, LAUGH

DEEPLY.

HOPELESSNESS IS SOMETHING WE ARE

FED IN THIS CULTURE.

THIS IS YOUR DAILY DOSE YOU EAT

THIS TODAY.

I REACT STRONGLY TO THAT.

WHY NOT RAISE IN HOPE TO THE

SURFACE?

TERRY: YOU DO THAT IN

"UNWRITTEN," THAT IS THE LATEST.

I WAS UP LATE READING THIS.

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT YOUR

READERS TO TAKE AWAY?

TWO THINGS, HOPE WINS AND

LOVE NEVER DIES.

BROKEN CUPS CAN STILL POUR

WATER.

TERRY: SOMETIMES WITH THOSE

WITH MORE APPRECIATION.

AWESOME BOOK.

YOU ARE A REGENT GRAD.

YES.

LORD POURED INTO ME.

I FLEW IN LAST NIGHT AND I DROVE

UP, WHAT ARE YOUR MEMORIES?

I REMEMBER A LOT OF HARD

WORK.

CHRISTY AND I LEARNED TO LEAN ON

ONE ANOTHER AND TRUST ONE

ANOTHER AND THE LORD.

MY PROFESSORS WERE AWESOME.

I DON'T JUST SAY THAT.

I STILL STAY IN CONTACT WITH

THEM.

TERRY: THEY INVEST IN YOU?

THEY INVESTED IN YOU.

I DID A MASTERS AND ACCEPTED ME

INTO THE DOCTORAL PROGRAM.

TERRY: SO PROUD OF YOU,

CHARLES' LATEST BOOK

"UNWRITTEN."

IT IS A GOOD READ.

GREAT TO MEET YOU.

WONDERFUL STORY.

UP NEXT WE ARE GOING TO BRING IT

ON WITH YOUR E-MAIL.

YVETTE WANTS TO KNOW, ARE GOD'S

PROMISES IN THE BIBLE FOR

EVERYONE?

YOU'LL FIND OUT WHEN WE COME

BACK.

TERRY: TIME FOR YOUR E-MAIL

QUESTIONS, PAT THIS FIRST ONE IS

FROM YVAN, ARE GOD'S PROMISES IN

THE BIBLE FOR EVERYONE OR

PATROLSED IN CATEGORIES SUCH AS

PROMISES JUST FOR ISRAEL?

PROMISES ONLY FOR SAVED

CHRISTIANS, SPIRIT FILLED

CHRISTIANS, ETC.?

HOW DO I KNOW IF I CAN CLAIM A

PROMISE IN THE BIBLE?

PAT: START BY SAYING IS THE

LAW OF GRAVITY FOR EVERYBODY?

TERRY: YES.

[LAUGHTER].

PAT: CERTAIN PHYSICAL LAWS

FOR EVERYBODY.

LAW OF RECIPROCITY.

LAW OF GROWTH, LAW OF USE, FOR

EVERYBODY.

IT IS THE WAY GOD MADE THE

UNIVERSE.

SPECIFIC PROMISES, OUGHT TO READ

TO WHO IT IS, TO THE CHURCH, IS

IT SO AND SO.

I KNOW YOUR WORK.

THOSE IN THE SYNAGOGUE, SATAN,

TRYING TO HURT YOU, THAT DOESN'T

APPLY TO YOU.

SEE WHO IT IS TO.

THE GENERAL PROMISES OF GOD, YOU

CAN SAY WAS THIS DIRECTED TO

SOMEBODY SPECIFICALLY?

A SPECIFIC TIME INVOLVED?

YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T GIVE UP YOUR

MIND JUST BECAUSE YOU BECOME A

CHRISTIAN.

YOU HAVE TO ANALYZE WHAT IS

THERE.

THERE ARE TIMES GOD WILL TAKE

SOMETHING IN THE BIBLE AND SPEAK

TO YOU.

THAT THING BECOMES ALIVE IN YOUR

HEART AND THERE.

IT IS A WORD SPOKEN FROM THE

HOLY SPIRIT TO YOU.

TERRY: THIS IS HANNA, AFTER

MY SECOND MISCARRIAGE, I FEEL

LIKE I AM AT WAR WITHIN MYSELF.

FEAR SEEMS TO BE TAKING ME OVER

AND DOUBT.

I KNOW GOD HAS GOOD INTENTIONS,

WHY CAN'T I PROTECT HIM WITH MY

WHOLE HEART.

WHY CAN'T I RELAX AND REST IN

THE ARMS OF JESUS?

PAT: YOU HAVE GIVEN THE

ANSWER TO YOUR OWN QUESTION, WHY

DON'T YOU?

IT IS THAT SIMPLE.

IT IS GOD'S BLESSING FOR YOU,

WHY CAN'T I TRUST THE LORD.

TERRY: DO YOU THINK

CONFESSING FEAR AND ASKING

FORGIVENESS?

PAT: JOB SAID I FEARED A FEAR

AND CAME UPON ME.

I FEARED A FEAR AND CAME UPON

ME.

A MAN SHALL EAT GOOD BY THE

FRUIT OF HIS LIPS.

SPEAK!

I AM WHOLE, I AM WELL, I AM

BLESSED BY GOD, TODAY IS A DAY

OF BLESSING.

INSTEAD OF THAT, I AM TRYING TO

FIGHT.

TODAY I AM GOING TO FIGHT THE

FIGHT I AM GOING TO HAVE A

MISCARRIAGE, NO.

PRAISE GOD.

AND INGGOD OF

MIRACLES.

TERRY: THIS IS DAVID, I AM A

REGULAR VIEWER AND LOVE YOUR

SHOW.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHY WE PRAY?

WHY OTHER THAN TO PLEASE GOD?

DO OUR PRAYERS CHANGE THE

OUTCOME OF SITUATIONS, MANY

PEOPLE WONDER ABOUT THIS.

PAT: OF COURSE OUR PRAYERS

CHANGE THIS.

JESUS IS SAYING IN TIME OF

TROUBLE THERE IN ISRAEL YOUR

PRAYERS WOULD BE EFFECTIVE IN

CHANGING THE TIME.

YES.

MAKE YOUR REQUESTS KNOWN UNTO

GOD PRAYER AND INTERCESSION.

START BY PRAISING HIM.

WHY DO YOU TALK TO YOUR FATHER

OR MOTHER?

WHY DO YOU TALK TO YOUR WIFE?

YOUR HUSBAND.

WOULDN'T THAT BE A TERRIBLE

THING TO NEVER TALK?

PRAYER IS A COMMUNION WHERE YOUR

SPIRIT IS BEING BUILT UP AS YOU

ARE *

TRUST WITH THE LORD AND IN

COMMUNION WITH GOD.

THAT IS WHAT PRAYER IS.

THE ASKING PART IS ONLY A TINY,

TINY PART OF PRAYER.

ALL RIGHT.

ONE LAST.

TERRY: THIS IS DENISE, FOR

MANY YEARS IN MY CHRISTIAN LIFE,

I PRAYED AND TRUSTED GOD TO LEAD

ME.

I SAW GOD WORK MIRACLES FOR ME

AND MY FAMILY.

THINGS WENT BADLY FOR A FEW

YEARS, I BECAME CONFUSED AND

MISSED WHAT GOD WAS TELLING ME.

HOW CAN I BE SURE I AM

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GOD IS SAYING

AND NOT WHAT I WANT IT TO BE?

PAT: THAT IS A THING WE ALL

HAVE A PROBLEM WITH, ARE WE

HEARING FROM GOD OR OURSELVES?

WE ARE HEARING THE WORLD, FLESH,

DEVIL.

ALWAYS PULLING AT US.

HOW DO YOU KNOW BY WALKING WITH

HIM?

I RECOMMEND YOU SPEND TIME, GO

APART, YOU AND THE BIBLE AND

SATURDAY TALKING TO THE LORD,

CONFESS YOUR DOUBTS, CONFESS

YOUR PROBLEM AND ASK GOD TO

SPEAK TO YOU.

IF YOU WAIT ON HIM A WHILE, WAIT

ON THE LORD.

OKAY.

TERRY: THIS IS KELLY, PAT,

OUR DAUGHTER WHO IS EIGHTEEN

MARRIED A MAN 29 AGAINST OUR

WISHES, HE HAS NO JOB OR DESIRE

TO WORK.

HE HAS BEEN IN JAIL THREE TIMES.

MY DAUGHTER SOLD HER CAR TO GET

HIM OUT OF JAIL THE LAST TIME.

ALSO DROPPED OUT OF COLLEGE AND

BOTH LIVE WITH HIS GRANDMA ALSO

IN JAIL.

HER DAD AND I HAVE GREAT CONCERN

AND WORRY, WHAT CAN WE DO AS

PARENTS?

PAT: YOU DESCRIBED ONE OF THE

MOST DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILIES I

THINK I HAVE HEARD ABOUT.

THAT IS THE PRICE OF REBELLION.

YOUR CHILD IS IN REBELLION, YOU

DIDN'T TEACH YOUR CHILD TO OBEY

YOU AND LISTEN TO YOU.

SHE IS DOING HER OWN THING AND

BEARING THE CONSEQUENCES.

RECOMMEND YOU TELL HER DAUGHTER

YOU LOVE HER, ALWAYS WELCOME TO

COME HOME WHEN THINGS DON'T WORK

OUT AND WON'T WORK OUT.

TELL HER YOU LOVE HER AND BEYOND

THAT, TURN HER OVER TO THE LORD

AND LET HIM TAKE CARE OF HER.

TERRY: THAT IS ALL THE TIME.

WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTIONS

IT HAS BEEN WONDERFUL.

WOW.

PAT: GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU.

TOMORROW, WE MEET THE DRILL TEAM

THAT MADE IT TO "DANCING WITH

THE STARS."

TO REVIVE AMERICA'S POOREST

CITY.

CORINTHIANS, FOR NO MATTER HOW

MANY PROMISES GOD HAS MADE, THEY

ARE YES IN CHRIST.

US,TERRY, FOR LEE, ALL OF

WE'LL SEETSON

REPORTER: TOMORROW, A CITY ON

LIFE SUPPORT.

CRIME, DRUGS.

HURRICANE.

A FAMILY TAKES A HIT AND THEIR

NOT GOOD. IS ttQ@LPn
