Gabrielle was raised in a hippie environment that disgusted her and she vowed to have opposite values, but still wound up morally bankrupt. Plus, a hairline fracture in his foot makes life miserable for Ramon, until a prayer on TV changes everything.

SEE HOW SOMEONE WAS ON
LIFE SUPPORT --
MY HUSBAND IS REALLY IN
THE GAME.
WE REALLY ARE ONE WITH HIM.
PLUS, A TROUBLED CHILD.
I REMEMBER BEING
DEPRESSED SINCE I WAS
YOUNG.
TURNS INTO A TORMENTED
TEENAGER.
IF I CAN'T BEAT THEM, I
MIGHT AS WELL JOIN THEM.
WATCH HER OUT-OF-BODY
WAKEUP CALL.
AN EVIL PRESENCE ENTERED
INTO THE ROOM, AND I SAW MY
SPIRIT START TO LEAVE MY
BODY.
ALCOHOLIC
*
Pat: WELCOME TO "THE
700 CLUB."
MAN, IT IS THE WORST WEATHER
IN DECADES, AND ANOTHER
ABOMINABLE SNOWSTORM
CONTINUES TO ROLL ON THROUGH
THE NORTH.
100MILLION AMERICANS WOKE UP
TODAY TO SNOW, ICE, AND
FREEZING RAIN.
IN WHAT COULD BE THE WORST
STORM OF THIS ENDLESS
WINTER.
TERRY?
Terry: THE LATEST ROUND
OF WINTER WEATHER HAS
CLAIMED THE LIVES OF AT
LEAST A DOZEN PEOPLE ACROSS
THE SOUTH, AND LEFT ALMOST
HALF A MILLION HOMES WITHOUT
POWER.
WE HAVE TWO REPORTS FROM CBN
NEWS, STARTING WITH CHARLENE
ISRAEL.
Reporter: WICKED WINTER
WEATHER IS BRINGING ANOTHER
DAY OF COMPLICATED TRAVEL.
THURSDAY BEGINS WITH MORE
THAN 4,000 FLIGHTS
CANCELLED, LEAVING ABOUT
FIVE MILLION PASSENGERS
STRANDED NATIONWIDE.
I WAS ANTICIPATING GOING
HOME ON THURSDAY, AND I HAVE
PLANS FOR FRIDAY, BUT THAT'S
NOW GOING TO BE CANCELLED.
Reporter: THE POWERFUL
SYSTEM WILL DUMP SNOW FROM
PHILADELPHIA AND WASHINGTON
UP TO NEW YORK AND IN
THROUGH NEW ENGLAND.
SCHOOLS UP AND DOWN THE EAST
COAST HAVE BEEN CLOSED.
I'M PLAYED OUT WITH THE
SNOW.
IT IS MAKING MY JOB TWICE AS
HARD.
Reporter: THIS WINTER
STORM SOCKED THE SOUTH
WEDNESDAY, AND MAY BE TO
BLAME FOR AT LEAST 12
DEATHS.
THREE PEOPLE WERE KILLED
WHEN AN AMBULANCE CRASHED ON
AN ICY ROAD IN WEST TEXAS
AND CAUGHT FIRE.
A DALLAS FIREFIGHTER WAS
ALSO KILLED AFTER BEING
KNOCKED FROM AN INTERSTATE
RAMP AND FALLING 50 FEET.
IN RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA,
PEOPLE ABANDONED THEIR CARS
ON FROZEN ROADS, AND MANY
RAN FOR COVER AFTER ONE
TRAPPED CAR CAUGHT FIRE.
DON'T PUT YOUR STUPID HAT
ON AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
PROTECT YOURSELF, PROTECT
YOUR FAMILY, PROTECT YOUR
NEIGHBORS, LET'S PROTECT
EACH OTHER.
Reporter: HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF HOMES AND
BUSINESSES HAVE LOST POWER
IN THE CAROLINAS AND
GEORGIA, WHERE ICE AND WIND
GUSTS SNAPPED POWER LINES
AND TREE LIMBS.
THE ROOF OF ONE NORTH
CAROLINA CHURCH COLLAPSED.
IN GEORGIA, THIS WOMAN'S
DAUGHTER WAS NEARLY CRUSHED
WHEN A PINE TREE FELL ON HER
HOME.
HEARING A TREE CRACK AND
WATCHING IT FALL FROM MY
WINDOW AND WATCHING IT FALL
ON MY DAUGHTER'S ROOM WAS
VERY TRAUMATIC.
Reporter: THIS IS DAVID
BRODY IN VERY SNOWY,
WASHINGTON, D.C.
TODAY IT IS MORE LIKE
WEATHER DYSFUNCTION.
THIS CITY IS PRETTY MUCH
SHUT DOWN.
SURE, THERE ARE A FEW
STRAGGLERS AROUND, BUT THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS
CLOSED, AND RUNWAYS HAVE
BEEN SHUT DOWN.
HUNDREDS OF AIRLINES HAVE
DELAYED OR CANCELLED
FLIGHTS.
SOME TRAINS ARE RUNNING, NOT
MANY, THOUGH.
THIS PLACE IS SOMEWHAT OF A
GHOST TOWN, REALLY A SNOW
TOWN.
EXCEPT WE DID FIND
SOMEONE -- GET READY FOR
THIS -- DELIVERING THE
MAIL.
RAIN, SLEET OR SNOW --
THAT'S RIGHT.
WE HAVE TO BE HERE.
WE'RE VERY ESSENTIAL.
Reporter: EVEN
OVERNIGHT THEY'RE DELIVERING
MAIL.
AND THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE
WHO ARE TRYING TO GET TO
WORK TODAY IN WASHINGTON.
WE CAUGHT UP WITH THEM.
MY OFFICE IS TWO BLOCKS
AWAY.
I THINK I'LL BE THE ONLY ONE
IN OUR NATIONAL OFFICE FOR
THE FIRM THAT I WORK WITH.
BOTH THE GOVERNORS OF
VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND HAVE
DECLARED STATES OF
EMERGENCY.
THERE IS MORE THAN A FOOT OF
SNOW AROUND.
THEY SAY NOT MUCH GETS DONE
IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
POLITICALLY, WELL, TODAY
THAT'S FOR SURE.
DAVID BRODY IN SNOWY,
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Pat: WE CAN ALL BREATHE
A SIGH OF RELIEF, THE
GOVERNMENT IS SHUT DOWN.
YOU WISH THEY WOULD DO MORE
OF IT.
ANYHOW, WASHINGTON MAY BE
SHUT DOWN FOR NOW, BUT THE
ADMINISTRATION'S POLITICAL
CRISIS OVER OBAMACARE IS FAR
FROM OVER.
JOHN JESSUP HAS THAT STORY
AGAIN FROM WASHINGTON.
Reporter: PAT, THE
WHITEHOUSE SAYS ABOUT THREE
AND A THIRD MILLION PEOPLE
HAVE SIGNED UP FOR OBAMACARE
SO FAR.
MORE THAN A MILLION SHORT OF
THE ADMINISTRATION'S GOAL.
THE WHITE HOUSE IS TARGETING
YOUNGER PEOPLE TO SIGN UP,
INCLUDING THE SO-CALLED
YOUNG, INVINCIBLES, WHO
REFUSE TO BUY HEALTH
INSURANCE BECAUSE THEY THINK
THEY WON'T GET SICK.
BUT THE ADMINISTRATION NEEDS
THEM TO HELP PAY FOR
OBAMACARE.
THE ADMINISTRATION IS FAR
FROM REACHING THAT
DEMOGRAPHIC GOAL.
Reporter: THE NEW
HEALTH CARE LAW IS
EXPERIENCING SLOWER THAN
EXPECTED ENROLLMENT.
YOUNG INVINCIBLES OR ADULTS,
AGES 18 TO 24, AND THEY DO
NOT APPEAR TO BE ON BOARD
WITH OBAMACARE.
IN PREVIOUS DATA, YOUNG
PEOPLE MADE UP ONLY ABOUT
ONE FOURTH OF THOSE WHO HAD
SIGNED UP FOR THE HEALTH
CARE EXCHANGES.
THE WHITE HOUSE HAS
DOWNPLAYED THE LAG, SAYING
THEY'RE EXPECTING
INVINCIBLES TO ENROLL
TOWARDS THE END OF THE
SIX-MONTH SIGNUP PERIOD, BUT
THERE IS A NEW SENSE OF
URGENCY.
President Obama:
TONIGHT I ASK EVERY AMERICAN
WHO KNOWS SOMEONE WITHOUT
HEALTH INSURANCE, TO HELP
THEM GET COVERED BY MARCH
31st.
Reporter: ABOUT 40% OF
NEW ENROLLEES HAVE TO 24 OR
YOUNGER TO COVER THE OLDER.
IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE FOR
THEM.
ON AVERAGE, WE'RE SEEING
PREMIUMS WILL INCREASE 169%
ACROSS THE BOARD.
YOUNG PEOPLE REALIZE
OBAMACARE IS TAKING THE
YOUNG AND HEALTHY TO PAY FOR
THE SICK AND OLDER
AMERICANS.
IT IS JUST NOT SOMETHING
THAT IS FAIR.
WE'RE LEVERAGING OUR
FUTURE.
Reporter: AS THE WHITE
HOUSE WAITS FOR MORE YOUNG
PEOPLE TO ENROLL, GRASSROOTS
EFFORTS, PUSHING PEOPLE TO
SIGN UP FOR THE PRESIDENT'S
HEALTH CARE PLAN, ARE
POPPING UP.
WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT
FEEL URGENT ALL OF THE
TIME.
AT LEAST IN OUR EXPERIENCE,
ENROLLMENT HAS PICKED UP A
LOT SINCE JANUARY 1st.
Reporter: WORKERS AND
VOLUNTEERS ARE TARGETING THE
SO-CALLED YOUNG, INVINCIBLES
BY SPREADING OUT ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
LEARNED IN THE PAST TWO
DECADES.
ANYBODY HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT HEALTH
INSURANCE?
Reporter: BUT SO FAR
THEY'RE STILL SHORT ABOUT A
THIRD OF YOUNG AND HEALTHY
ENROLLEES THAT THEY NEED.
EPHRAIM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS.
Reporter: PAT, IT IS NO
WONDER THE ADMINISTRATION
SEES THEM AS A GOLD MINE.
ONE ESTIMATES SAYS THERE ARE
19 MILLION YOUNG
INVINCIBLES.
Pat: HERE IS THE DIRTY
LITTLE SECRET, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, YOU HAVE TO
REALIZE IF A BUSINESS HAS
EMPLOYEES, THEY HAVE TO
COVER THEM AND COVER THEM
THE WAY OBAMA THINKS THEY
SHOULD.
THIS IS GOING TO COST EACH
EMPLOYEE MAYBE $12,000 A
YEAR.
SO THEY SAY, OKAY, UNDER
THIS LAW, IF YOU DON'T COVER
YOUR EMPLOYEES, YOU PAY A
FINE.
WHAT'S THE FINE?
A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
SO YOU SAVE $10,000 IF YOU
DON'T COVER YOUR EMPLOYEES.
SO THAT PUSHES ALL OF THE
EMPLOYEES INTO ONE OF THESE
PLANS.
AND THE PLANS ARE
DELIBERATELY SET UP TO FAIL
BECAUSE WITHOUT AN ADEQUATE
NUMBER OF YOUNG, HEALTHY
PEOPLE, THE MAJORITY OF THE
ENROLLEES ARE GOING TO BE
SICKER, OLDER PEOPLE.
AND ACTUARY -- THAT IS NOT
GOING TO WORK.
AND SOMEBODY WILL STAND UP
AND SAY THIS IS THE FAILURE
OF THE PRIVATE INSURANCE.
AND IF THE PRIVATE SECTOR
WAS ONLY DOING ITS PART,
EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE.
AND WHAT WE NEED IS A SINGLE
FARE PLAN.
AND WE'LL HAVE ONE PAYER,
AND THAT PAYER WILL BE THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
THAT'S THE GAME, TO FORCE
EVERYBODY INTO THE CORRAL
OWNED BY OBAMA AND HIS
CRONIES.
NOW, JUST MAKE NO MISTAKE
ABOUT IT.
THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE GOING.
THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE, BEHIND
THE SCENES, TELLING
EVERYBODY.
BUT THIS THING IS HORRIBLE.
IN TRUTH, THEY HAD
30 MILLION UNINSURED GOING
IN, AND WHEN IT IS ALL
FINISHED, THEY'LL HAVE
30 MILLION UNINSURED.
AND I BELIEVE SOMEBODY SAID
THE OTHER DAY, THEY HAVE
DISRUPTED THE ENTIRE HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM OF AMERICA FOR
NOTHING.
THE ONLY REASON IS TO GET
SOCIALIST CONTROL OVER
ONE-SIXTH OF THE ECONOMY.
THAT'S THE GAME.
THAT'S THE GAME.
AND, FOLKS, YOU'RE JUST A
PAWN IN THEIR HAND.
SO YOU OUGHT TO STAND UP AND
SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
IT IS TERRIBLE WHAT THEY ARE
DOING TO YOU AND TO THE
AMERICAN ECONOMY.
JOHN?
Reporter: PAT,
PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS
REPEATEDLY MADE CHANGES BY
HISMS T HIMSELF WHEN IT HAS
RUN INTO PROBLEMS, AND THE
PUBLIC DOESN'T LIKE IT.
60% SAY THEY DISAPPROVE OF
THE PRESIDENT GOING AROUND
CONGRESS.
THE PRESIDENT HAS OFTEN SAID
HE WILL TAKE ACTION WHEN
NECESSARY, WITH OR WITHOUT
CONGRESS.
AND TURNING OVERSEAS,
RADICAL MUSLIMS HAVE BEEN
SPREADING A CAMPAIGN OF
VIOLENCE AGAINST THE
GOVERNMENT OF EGYPT.
SUSPECTED TERRORISTS BLEW UP
A KEY GAS PIPELINE IN
EGYPT'S SINAI PENINSULA
EARLIER THIS WEEK.
GEORGE THOMAS REPORTS ON
WHAT MANY FEAR IS A SEARING
INSURGENCY.
George: NEARLY 17,000
MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD MEMBERS
AND OTHER POLITICAL
ACTIVISTS HAVE BEEN
IMPRISONED.
THE MILITARY HERE INSISTS
THEY ARE IN A WAR FOR
SURVIVAL AGAINST
TERRORISTS.
THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO
TAKE ALL NECESSARY
PRECAUTIONS, IN ORDER TO
FINISH ANY ACTIVITIES OF THE
MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.
George: BUT SOME ARE
ACCUSING THE MILITARY OF
OPPRESSIVE TACTICS IN
RETALLATIO RETALIATION
AGAINST MORSI'S DETRACTORS.
George: THE POTENTIAL
FOR RENEWED VIOLENCE STILL
LOOMS VERY LARGE, AND NOW
THERE IS A GROWING
INSURGENCY IN THE SINAI
PENINSULA, WITH FREQUENT
ATTACKS AGAINST SECURITY
PERSONNEL.
MORE THAN 200 SECURITY
FORCES HAVE BEEN KILLED
SINCE LAST YEAR, MANY OF
THEM BY AN
AL-QAEDA-INSPIRED GROUP,
THE NAME IS ARABIC FOR THE
CHAMPIONS OF JERUSALEM.
THEY HAVE ALSO STAGED A
SERIES OF BOMBINGS AND
SUICIDE ATTACKS ON SECURITY
FORCES IN RECENT MONTHS.úsús
EGYPT, WHICH HAS BRANDED THE
BROTHERHOOD A TERRORIST
GROUP, HAS ACCUSED ITS
FORMER LEADER OF CREATING A
MILITARY WING TO ATTACK
SECURITY PERSONNEL.
AS LONG AS ATLANTA'S
ELEMENTS OF THE BROTHERHOOD
OPENS THE DOOR TO UVIOLENCE,
USE VIOLENCE, AND IT COULD
EVENTUALLY TURN US INTO A
POLICE STATE.
George: THE GOVERNMENT
THIS WEEK ORDERED ALL
MOSQUES TO DELIVER THE SAME
MESSAGE, WHICH MUST BE
APPROVED BY AUTHORITIES
AHEAD OF TIME.
MUSLIM PREACHERS WHO DISOBEY
THE ORDER WILL BE REPLACED.
GEORGE THOMAS, CBN NEWS,
CAIRO, EGYPT.
HERE AT HOME, THE F.B.I.
DOESN'T EXPECT TERRORISM ON
A SNIPER ATTACK ON A
CALIFORNIA POWER GRID LAST
APRIL.
THEY ARE STILL INVESTIGATING
THE MILITARY-STYLE RAID,
WHICH KNOCKED OUT 17
TRANSFORMERS.
THERE ARE STILL NO SUSPECTS
OR MOTIVE.
BUT NOT EVERYONE AGREES WITH
THE F.B.I.'S CONCLUSION,
RULING OUT TERRORISM.
ACCORDING TO FOREIGN POLICY
MAGAZINE, ONE FORMER PG&E
EXECUTIVE BELIEVES IT WAS A
DRESS REHEARSAL FOR FUTURE
ATTACKS.
HE SAYS THE SOPHISTICATED
ATTACK IS A WAKEUP CALL
ABOUT THE THREATS TO CRUCIAL
INFRASTRUCTURE.
PAT, THAT'S A PRETTY SOMBER
WARNING THERE.
Pat: WELL, HE IS
TELLING THE TRUTH.
WE'RE GOING TO DO A DETAILED
ANALYSIS.
I'VE ASKED OUR NEWS
DEPARTMENT TO GET ON THE
SCENE AND FIND OUT.
BUT IF ALL YOU HAVE GOT IS A
CHAIN-LINKED FENCE, AND
BEHIND THE FENCE ARE
TRANSFORMERS, ANY
HIGH-POWERED RIFLE CAN PUNCH
HOLES IN THE TRANSFORMERS.
THEN THEY LEAK VITAL FLUID
AND THEY SHORT, AND THEY
HAVE TO BE TAKEN OFF THE AIR
OR THEY BLOW THE PLACE UP.
AND THEY'RE VERY, VERY
VULNERABLE.
AND WE'RE LOOKING AT THE
POWER GRID OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
WE MUST HAVE ELECTRIC
POWER.
THINK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR
ELECTRICITY GOES OUT.
YOU JUST BLOW A FUSE, AND
ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU HAVE NO
LIGHTS.
YOUR TOASTER DOESN'T WORK,
YOUR MICROWAVE DOESN'T
WORK.
WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE USED
TO USING, YOU CAN'T USE.
THINK ABOUT THAT ALL THE WAY
THROUGH THE ECONOMY.
AND THESE POWER STATIONS ARE
VITAL.
IF THEY GO DOWN AND THE
STREET LIGHTS GO OUT, THERE
IS CHAOS, PANDEMONIUM.
IT IS A MAJOR RECIPE FOR
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND
REVOLUTION, AND WE DON'T
NEED THAT.
WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING
ABOUT THE VULNERABILITY OF
THE POWER GRID.
ANYHOW, THAT'S THE WAY WE
ARE LOOKING AT IT.
AND THIS SITUATION IN
CALIFORNIA, THEY SAY, I WAS
CLEARLY A SOPHISTICATED
ATTACK.
IT WASN'T JUST A BUNCH OF
KIDS SHOOTING OFF GUNS IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
THIS WAS SOPHISTICATED.
THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHERE THE
KEY ACCESS POINTS WERE.
THEY KNEW WHERE THE POINTS
WERE WHERE THEY COULD SHUT
OFF NECESSARY ALARMS.
THEY HAD IT ALL UNDER
CONTROL.
AND WHAT THAT EXECUTIVE
SAID, I CONCUR.
IT LOOKED LIKE A DRESS
REHEARSAL FOR A BIG ONE.
JOHN?
Reporter: PAT,
SPEAKINGING OF POWER,
SCIENTISTS SAY THEY HAVE
TAKEN A KEY STEP TOWARDS
HARNESSING NUCLEAR FUSION AS
A NEW WAY TO GENERATE
POWER.
ALTHOUGH THEY'RE STILL A
LONG WAY FROM A WORKABLE
FUSION POWER SYSTEM.
THE BREAKTHROUGH INVOLVES
USING LASERS THAT STARTED
THE NUCLEAR REACTION.
NUCLEAR FUSION IS WHAT
POWERS THE SUN.
IT WOULD HAVE SEVERAL
ADVANTAGES OVER TODAY'S
POWER SOURCES, INCLUDING
PRODUCING A CLEANER AND
CHEAPER SOURCE OF ENERGY.
PAT, IT LOOKS LIKE THAT
HOLDS A LOT OF PROMISE.
Pat: I'VE BEEN LOOKING
INTO THAT, AND NUCLEAR
INFUSION IS THE ANSWER.
AND THE PROJECT IN CHICAGO
SAID THE REASON WE GOT INTO
THIS IS BECAUSE ONE DAY
THERE MIGHT BE NUCLEAR
INFUSION, AND IT WOULD BE
THE POWER SOURCE FOF THE
WORLD.
IT WOULD BE CHEAP AND
POWERFUL.
IT WOULDN'T BE SOMETHING
THAT WAS RATIONED.
IT WOULDN'T DEPEND ON FOSSEL
FUEL.
IT WOULDN'T POLLUTE THE
ENVIRONMENT.
IT IS LIKE A DREAM COME
TRUE.
LET'S HOPE THEY'RE
SUCCESSFUL.
TERRY?
Terry: COMING UP, A
MOMENT OF TRUTH FOR A COUPLE
IN CRISIS.
I JUST REALLY HAD A
COMPULSION TO USE THE WORD
"FAIL."
I RAISED TWO HANDS SAYING
GUILTY, CHEERFULLY GUILTY.
Terry: SEE HOW THIS
HUSBAND AND WIFE REKINDLED
THEIR MARRIAGE.
THAT'S NEXT.
Pat: WELL, YOU'RE
WATCHING "THE 700 CLUB."
GLAD YOU'RE WITH US.
TOMORROW IS VALENTINE'S
DAY.
SO WHAT ARE YOU GETTING FOR
VALENTINE'S DAY?
NOTHING?
Terry: I'M NOT A BIG
VALENTINE'S DAY PERSON.
THAT MAY SOUND WEIRD,
BUT --
Pat: NO.
I THINK YOU'RE BEING VERY
WISE.
I WASN'T EITHER, BUT IT IS
BEING IMPOSED UPON ME BY
SOCIETY.
Terry: AND YOUR
HOUSEHOLD?
[LAUGHTER]
Pat: YOU HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING OR YOU'RE
CONSIDERED WEIRD.
Terry: YOU DON'T LOVE
ME.
Pat: YOU DON'T LOVE
ME.
HOW COME YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME
A VERMONT TEDDY BEAR?
Terry: I WANT A FOUR
FOOT ONE OF THOSE.
Pat: I CAN HARDLY
WAIT.
WELL, WHEN A WIFE SAYS TO
HER HUSBAND, THOUGH, YOU
FAILED ME, SOMETIMES THAT'S
THE DEATH TOLL OF A
MARRIAGE.
BUT NOT FOR THE COUPLE
YOU'RE ABOUT TO MEET.
THOSE WORDS HELPED THEM
REKINDLE THEIR ROMANCE IN A
WAY THEY NEVER THOUGHT
POSSIBLE.
PAUL STRAND HAS THIS UNIQUE
LOVE STORY.
Reporter: MEN, IF YOU
WANT TO DO SOMETHING
ROMANTIC FOR YOUR WIFE, YOU
MIGHT CONSIDER RAMPING UP
YOUR SPIRITUAL INTIMACY.
THAT'S WHAT SAM AND VICKI
HAVE FOUND LACKING AFTER
ALMOST FOUR DECADES OF
MARRIAGE.
WHEN THEY HIT A ROUGH PATCH,
WHEN VICKI NEEDED SAM TO
PRAY WITH HIM MORE, SHE HIT
HIM WITH THE TRUTH ABOUT
THEIR SPIRITUAL LIFE.
HE REMEMBERS WHAT SHE SAID.
I HAVE COME TO THE
REALIZATION YOU HAVE FAILED
ME.
I KNEW IT WAS PROBABLY
THE HOLY SPIRIT DOING IT.
I HAD A COMPULSION TO USE
THE WORD "FAIL."
Reporter: THEY JUST
FACED TRIALS INVOLVING TWO
OF THEIR DAUGHTERS, BUT
RARELY PRAYED ABOUT THEM.
VICKI FELT SPIRITUALLY
WRONG.
AND SHE SAID,
FURTHERMORE, BESIDES THE
GIRLS, SAM, I NEED TO
CONNECT WITH YOU MORE
SPIRITUALLY.
I RAISED TWO HANDS SAYING,
GUILTY.
CHEERFULLY GUILTY.
AND I RAISED ONE HAND
SAYING, VICKI, I VOW, I
PROMISE WE'RE GOING TO PRAY
TOGETHER.
Reporter: AT THAT
MOMENT, GOD GAVE SAM A
REVELATION.
THE HOLY SPIRIT JUST
SPOKE TO ME IN A VERY
SPECIFIC WAY.
THE REVELATION WAS GOD GAVE
ME A PATH.
AND THE PATH WAS SIMPLY
THIS: PRAY WITH HER, USING
MY WORD AS YOUR GUIDE.
WHEN HE STARTED LAYING
THOSE TRACKS AND SAID, THIS
IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO
AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO
IT, I SAID THIS IS
DIFFERENT.
Reporter: THEY BEGAN
READING A FEW SCRIPTURES
ALMOST EVERY DAY TO GUIDE
THEIR PRAYERS TOGETHER.
SAM AND VICKI SAY IT HAS
TREMENDOUSLY IMPROVED THEIR
SPIRITUAL LIFE AND BROUGHT
GOD RIGHT INTO THE CENTER OF
THEIR COMMUNICATION.
I FEEL LIKE WE'RE PRAYING
ON THE BULL'S EYE, THE
MOVING TARGETS OF LIFE.
THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS SHOWING
US WHAT TO PRAY.
NOW THE PRAYERS ARE AS FRESH
AS THE FLOW OF THE WORD OF
GOD ITSELF.
Reporter: IN HIS OWN
MINISTRY, SAM FOUND THE
HUNDREDS OF CHRISTIAN MEN HE
INTERACTED WITH FOUND THEY
WERE ALSO FAILING TO PRAY
REGULARLY WITH THEIR WIVES.
HE WRITES ABOUT IT IN HIS
BOOK "JUST SAY THE WORD,"
AND HE AND VICKI HAVE SET UP
A WEBSITE TO HELP.
CLEARLY THERE IS AN
EPIDEMIC BURDEN WE'RE
SHOULDERS.
SOMMOST OF US LIVE WITH
SOME LEVEL OF GUILT THAT
WE'RE NOT QUITE CUTTING IT
IN OUR MARRIAGE AND HOME,
ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA OF
SPIRITUAL WORSHIP WITH OUR
WIVES.
HARDLY EVER, WHEN NEEDED,
NOT ENOUGH ARE THE WORDS.
Reporter: AND HE ASKED
THESE SAME MEN WHAT THEIR
WIVES WOULD SAY IF THEY
PLEDGED TO REGULARLY PRAY
TOGETHER.
SHE WAS SAY HALLELUJAH.
SHE WOULD START CRYING.
Reporter: WE KNOW OUR
WIVES DESIRE THIS SPIRITUAL
INTIMACY.
MEN OFTEN NEED A PATH TO
FOLLOW.
THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF "JUST
SAY THE WORD."
IT IS A JOURNEY OF SPIRITUAL
INTIMACY IN MARRIAGE.
WITH MARRIAGE UNDER ATTACK
AND MARRIAGES FALLING APART,
IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP AND
JUST SAY THE WORD.
IF YOU'LL TAKE THIS 30-DAY
PLAN AND PRAY THROUGH
PHILLIPIANS, YOU'RE GOING TO
CATCH A MODEL.
Reporter: SAM SAYS HIS
AND VICKI'S RELATIONSHIP
ENJOYED AN ADDED BENEFIT.
AND VICKI SAYS IT HAS GIVEN
HER TREMENDOUS PEACE.
MY HUSBAND IS REALLY IN
THE GAME WITH ME AS FAR AS
PRAYER BURDEN FOR OUR
CHILDREN, FOR OUR FAMILY,
FOR OUR MINISTRY.
WE REALLY ARE ONE WITH
THIS.
I'LL TELL YOU, IT BECAME
A GAME-CHANGER.
Reporter: PAUL STRAND,
CBN NEWS.
Pat: GOOD FOR YOU.
I'VE GOT A COPY OF THIS
BOOK.
IT IS CALLED "JUST SAY THE
WORD."
I WAS TOLD THAT THE GUYS AND
OUR PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT
SAID, WE ALL WANT IT.
Terry: THAT'S GOOD.
Pat: IT IS GOOD.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN GET
IT THROUGH US OR THROUGH
WHEREVER BOOKS ARE SOLD.
Terry: GO TO
CBN.COM.
Pat: YOU SURE?
Terry: ALWAYS.
Pat: AMAZON HAS
EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING.
SO "JUST SAY THE WORD."
Terry: I LIKE THAT.
Pat: SAM INGRACIA.
THE BOOK LOOKS VERY GOOD.
MAYBE IT WILL HELP YOUR
MARRIAGE.
THAT WOULD BE GREAT FOR
VALENTINE'S DAY.
Terry: THAT'S A GOOD
VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT.
Pat: OKAY.
THERE YOU GO.
YOU WON'T HAVE TO BUY A
VERMONT TEDDY BEAR.
JUST BUY A LITTLE BOOK.
HERE IT IS.
Terry: COMING UP, A
WOMAN WHO GOT THE SCARE OF
HER LIFE.
THE ROOM JUST GOT VERY
QUIET, AND ALL THREE OF THE
WALLS STARTED TO TURN
BLACK.
AND AN EVIL PRESENCE ENTERED
INTO THE ROOM.
AND I SAW MY SPIRIT START TO
LEAVE MY BODY.
Terry: HEAR WHAT WORDS
SHE SCREAMED AND WATCH HOW
SHE WAS RESCUED, AFTER
THIS.
Pat: WELL, SOME YEARS
AGO THEY WERE CALLED
HIPPIES, AND THEY LIVED IN
WHAT WERE CALLED COMMUNES,
AND THEY HAD SEX, THEY HAD
DRUGS, AND EVERYTHING WAS
SHARED IN COMMON.
WELL, GABRIELLE GREW UP IN
JUST SUCH A COMMUNE.
SHE NEVER KNEW WHICH ONE OF
HER MOTHER'S LOVERS WAS HER
FATHER.
WHAT SHE DID KNOW WAS A DARK
DEPRESSION AT A VERY YOUNG
AGE.
AND THAT DARKNESS
OVERWHELMED HER UNTIL THE
DAY A DEMON CAME CALLING.
THE HIPPIE MOVEMENT OF
THE 1950s WAS SUPPOSED TO
BE ABOUT PEACE, LOVE, AND
HARMONY.
BUT THROUGH THE EYES OF
GABRIELLE WHEELER, IT WAS
ABOUT NEGLECT, ABANDONMENT,
AND SELF-DESTRUCTION.
I WAS VERY SEPARATED FROM
MY MOM.
I DIDN'T HAVE A BOND WITH
HER.
SO IT WAS VERY, VERY
INTERESTING.
IT WAS KIND OF LIKE GROWING
UP WITH A STRANGER.
Reporter: GABRIELLE
GREW UP IN A COMMUNE IN LOS
CRUZAS, NEW MEXICO.
SHE WAS OFTEN LEFT ALONE TO
PLAY WITH MARIJUANA AND
ROLLING PAPERS, WHILE HER
MOM READ TAROT CARDS AND DID
DRUGS.
THERE WERE MANY MEN IN HER
MOTHER'S LIFE, AND GABRIELLE
DIDN'T KNOW WHICH ONE MIGHT
BE HER FATHER.
EVENTUALLY HER MOM MARRIED,
BUT HE BEAT THEM.
HER MOM LEFT HIM FOR SOMEONE
WHO BEAT THEM EVEN MORE.
I REMEMBER BEING
DEPRESSED SINCE I WAS
YOUNG.
EVEN AT THE AGE OF NINE OR
10, JUST NOT WANTING TO LIVE
ANYMORE BECAUSE I JUST FELT
LIKE THERE WAS A LOT OF
DARKNESS IN MY LIFE.
Reporter: GABRIELLE
SAYS THERE WAS A LIGHT IN
THE NIGHTMARISH EXISTENCE.
IT CAME ON SUNDAYS, WHEN
SOME PEOPLE GAVE HER RIDES
TO CHURCH.
THE FIRST BIBLE STORY
THAT I EVER HEARD WAS THE
STORY ABOUT JOB.
THEY SAID HE WAS A MAN OF
MANY AFFLICTIONS, BUT IN THE
END HOW GOD HAD BLESSED HIS
LIFE.
AND I REMEMBER SAYING, YOU
KNOW WHAT, GOD, MAYBE MY
LIFE WILL BE HARD WHEN I'M
YOUNG, BUT IF YOU CAN MAKE
IT BETTER WHEN I'M OLDER --
I REMEMBER PRAYING THAT
PRAYER.
Reporter: GABRIELLE
BELIEVED HER ONLY CHANCE WAS
TO GET AWAY.
AT 14, SHE TOLD HER MOTHER
SHE WANTED TO MOVE TO
CALIFORNIA AND LIVE WITH
SOME RELATIVES.
HER MOM GAVE LITTLE
RESISTANCE.
I WAS SO DETERMINED NOT
TO BE LIKE MY MOM.
I WAS SO DETERMINED TO BE
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
AND I SAID I WAS NEVER GOING
TO LET A MAN BEAT ME.
I WAS NEVER GOING TO DO
DRUGS, LIKE MY MOM OR
ANYBODY.
I WAS GOING TO BE A GOOD
GIRL.
BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO
BE.
Reporter: BUT ESCAPING
THE INFLUENCES OF HER PAST
WASN'T SO EASY, AS SHE
LEARNED WHEN SHE STARTED
GOING TO CHURCH WITH
NEIGHBORS.
THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO
DO WITH ME BECAUSE I HAD A
CRUSH ON ALL OF MY YOUTH
PASTORS.
I WAS JUST A MESS.
ONE DAY I WALKED INTO THE
CHURCH, AND IT WAS LIKE THE
DEVIL JUST SPOKE TO ME.
LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING
HERE?
YOU DON'T BELONG HERE.
THEY HAVE TWO PARENTS AND
YOU COME FROM THIS BROKEN
HOME.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I LOOKED AROUND AND I
REALIZED, YOU KNOW WHAT,
YOU'RE RIGHT.
WHAT AM I DOING HERE?
I DON'T BELONG HERE.
Reporter: GABRIELLE
STOPPED GOING TO CHURCH.
THEN AT 18, SHE MOVED OUT ON
HER OWN.
ONE DAY, WHILE DRIVING
THROUGH MEXICO, SHE LOOKED
UP A MAN SHE WAS TOLD WAS
HER DAD.
HE COULDN'T GIVE HER THE
ANSWERS SHE HOPED FOR.
SHE SAID YOUR MOM WAS
VERY PROMISCUOUS, SO I DON'T
KNOW IF YOU ARE MINE.
AND HE MIGHT AS WELL JUST
STAMPED ME WITH THE WORD
"REJECTION."
AND THEN I SAID, IF I CAN'T
BEAT THEM, I MIGHT AS WELL
JOIN THEM.
Reporter: FROM THAT
POINT ON, GABRIELLE DID
EVERYTHING SHE SWORE SHE
WOULD NEVER DO, WHICH
INCLUDED HAVING AN ABUSIVE
BOYFRIEND.
EXACTLY LIKE MY MOTHER,
AND WORSE.
I WAS HOMELESS FOR A YEAR.
I JUST HITCHHIKED UP AND
DOWN THE COAST OF
CALIFORNIA.
AND I FINALLY ENDED UP AT
THE HAIGHT-ASHBURY.
Reporter: THERE,
GABRIELLE SAYS HE WAS
CONSTANTLY REMINDED OF GOD.
AND I REMEMBER AT
HAIGHT-ASHBURY, THERE WOULD
BE THESE PEOPLE WHO WOULD
COME AND WITNESS TO US, BUT
I WOULD ACTUALLY LAUGH AT
THEM.
Reporter: ONE DAY AFTER
TAKING SEVERAL DRUGS, SHE
STARTED TO LOSE
CONSCIOUSNESS.
I KNEW GOD WAS SPEAKING
TO MY HEART, THAT I NEEDED
TO TURN MY LIFE AROUND AND
GIVE IT TO HIM.
THAT DAY I HAD DONE
DIFFERENT DRUGS JUST TO NUMB
THE PAIN.
AND THEN THE ROOM JUST GOT
VERY QUIET, AND THEN THREE
OF THE WALLS STARTED TO TURN
BLACK.
AND AN EVIL PRESENCE ENTERED
INTO THE ROOM.
AND I SAW MY SPIRIT START TO
LEAVE MY BODY.
I SCREAMED OUT, JESUS, SAVE
ME.
AND MY SPIRIT SNAPPED BACK
INTO MY BODY.
Reporter: TERRIFIED BY
THE EXPERIENCE, GABRIELLE
CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT
HELL WAS REAL, AND SO WAS
JESUS.
THE ONLY PEOPLE SHE KNEW
COULD HELP HER WERE THE
NEIGHBORS SHE WENT TO CHURCH
WITH WHEN SHE WAS A
TEENAGER.
AND THEY SAID, WELL, WHAT
DO YOU WANT US TO DO FOR
YOU?
I SAID, GET ME A BUS
TICKET.
I WANT TO COME BACK TO THE
CHURCH AND BACK TO GOD.
Reporter: GABRIELLE
MOVED IN WITH HER FRIENDS.
THEY CONVINCED HER TO
SURROUNDER HERSELF TO POLICE
FOR OUTSTANDING DRUG
POSSESSION CHARGES.
IN JAIL, SHE STARTED READING
THE BIBLE AND LEARNED WHAT
IT MEANT TO TRUST JESUS.
THE LORD DEALT WITH ME
WHEN I WAS IN JAIL, TALKED
TO ME WOULD YO ABOUT
SURRENDERING YOUR LIFE,
ABOUT MAKING HIM THE LORD OF
MY LIFE, AND COMPLETELY
TURNING OVER EVERYTHING TO
HIM.
Reporter: AFTER SERVING
A SHORT SENTENCE, GABRIELLE
WENT INTO TEEN CHALLENGE.
IT WAS THERE THAT SHE
LEARNED HOW TO LET GO OF ALL
OF THE PAIN AND REJECTION.
THERE WAS A NIGHT WHEN
GOD SPOKE TO ME.
AND HE SAID, YOU NEED TO
FORGIVE YOUR MOTHER.
WHEN HE DID THAT AND I
FORGAVE HER, A FLOOD OF
TEARS CAME OVER MY EYES, AND
I CRIED LIKE I HAD NEVER
CRIED IN MY LIFE.
Reporter: NO LONGER
HAUNTED BY HER PAST,
GABRIELLE SAYS HER LIFE IS
FULL.
SHE IS MARRIED TO JOHN, A
PASTOR, AND THEY HAVE FOUR
DAUGHTERS.
GABRIELLE REACHES OUT TO
YOUNG GIRLS IN CRISIS, WHO
ARE MUCH LIKE SHE WAS.
SHE HAS HOPE FOR THEM
BECAUSE OF WHAT GOD DID FOR
HER.
GOD HAS BECOME MY
FATHER.
AND HE HAS TAKEN CARE OF ME
AND HE HAS PROVIDED FOR ME.
TODAY I KNOW THAT GOD IS
REAL BECAUSE HE SAVED ME AS
I WAS DYING.
AND NO ONE CAN CONVINCE ME
OTHERWISE.
Pat: HE SAVED ME WHEN I
WAS DYING.
ISN'T IT AWFUL, WHAT WE DO
TO KIDS.
THE SO-CALLED HIPPIES, THEY
THINK THEY'RE FREE, AND LOOK
WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO THEIR
CHILD.
THAT'S WHAT FREE LOVE WILL
DO, FREE SEX.
WHO IS YOUR FATHER?
I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE IS
YOUR FATHER.
I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE OF
THOSE MEN IS THE ONE WHO
CONCEIVED YOU.
I DON'T KNOW.
YOU'RE NOTHING.
YOU'RE WORTHLESS.
SO SHE THROWS HERSELF AWAY.
BUT GOD WAS THERE.
THAT'S WHAT IS SO
WONDERFUL.
GOD IS THERE FOR YOU.
SO WHEN YOUR MOTHER AND
FATHER CASTS YOU OUT, THE
LORD WILL TAKE YOU UP, IS
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
GOD LOVES YOU.
GOD IS YOUR FATHER.
MAN, WHAT A STORY.
WHAT CAN YOU SAY?
WHAT YOU CAN SAY IS, HOWEVER
RICH IT MAY BE, YOUR LIFE,
WHATEVER TORMENT YOU MAY
HAVE BEEN THROUGH, YOU MAY
HAVE BEEN RAPED, YOU MAY
HAVE BEEN BEATEN, YOU MAY
HAVE BEEN ABUSED, YOU MAY
HAVE BEEN REJECTED, YOU MAY
HAVE BEEN LOCKED UP IN A
CLOSET AS A LITTLE KID AND
LEFT ALONE TO CRY AND
SUFFER, YOU MAY HAVE HAD
SCALDING WATER POURED ON
YOU, YOU MAY HAVE BEEN
BEATEN SENSELESS, BUT I'LL
TELL YOU SOMETHING: GOD
ALMIGHTY LOVES YOU.
AND HE WILL REACH DOWN FROM
HIS PLACE IN HEAVEN AND PICK
YOU UP AND HUG YOU UNTI TO
HIS BOSSOM, TO HIS CHEST, TO
HIS HEART, AND YOU CAN BE
PART OF THE FAMILY OF GOD.
HE IS THE FATHER.
WHATEVER EARTHLY FATHER THAT
MAY HAVE REJECTED YOU, GOD
IS THE FATHER.
AND IF YOU WANT A FATHER WHO
LOVES YOU, YOU JUST HAVE TO
ASK AND YOU'LL RECEIVE, SEEK
AND YOU WILL FIND, KNOCK,
AND THE DOOR WILL BE OPEN.
PRAY WITH ME NOW.
IF YOU WANT A LOVING FATHER
TO TAKE AWAY THE PAIN OF
WHATEVER YOU'VE BEEN
THROUGH, PRAY THESE WORDS.
JESUS, I KNOW YOU'VE DIED
FOR ME.
BUT, LORD, YOU HAVE SEEN
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO ME.
YOU KNOW THE REJECTION, YOU
KNOW THE PAIN, THE
SUFFERING, YOU KNOW THE
BEATINGS, YOU KNOW THE
TERRIBLE THINGS THAT HAVE
BEEN DONE IN MY LIFE.
AND YOU KNOW THE THINGS THAT
I'VE DONE THAT ARE WRONG.
SO, LORD, RIGHT NOW I COME
TO YOU AND I CONFESS THAT
I'M A SINNER.
AND, LORD, I FORGIVE THOSE
WHO HAVE SINNED AGAINST ME.
I FORGIVE MY PARENTS.
I FORGIVE THOSE WHO HAVE
DAMAGED ME AND BEATEN ME AND
HURT ME.
AND, LORD, AT THIS MOMENT I
ASK THAT YOU WOULD COME INTO
MY HEART, LIVE YOUR LIFE IN
ME, AND FROM THIS MOMENT ON
I WILL LIVE FOR YOU AND I
WILL SERVE YOU.
THANK YOU, JESUS, THAT
YOU'VE HEARD MY PRAYER.
AND THANK YOU THAT YOU'VE
COME INTO MY HEART.
NOW, IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME,
I HAVE SOMETHING I WANT TO
GIVE YOU.
YOU SAY, WELL, WHAT DO I DO
NEXT?
THERE WAS A TIME -- IT WAS
AN AWESOME TIME THAT I WAS
IN THE AUDIO ROOM, AND I
BELIEVE GOD JUST POURED OUT
A MESSAGE.
AND IT'S ON THIS LITTLE
COMPACT DISC.
IT'S 73 MINUTES OF TEACHING
ABOUT THE EXCHANGED LIFE.
WHAT HAPPENED, WHAT DID GOD
DO FOR YOU?
YOU HAVE JUST COME TO HIM,
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE BORN
AGAIN?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE AN
EXCHANGED LIFE?
WHAT ABOUT THE SECOND
COMING?
WHAT ABOUT IF YOU SIN?
IT'S ALL HERE.
AND WE'LL GIVE THIS TO YOU
FREE BECAUSE IT WILL HELP
YOU.
CALL NOW.
SAY I PRAYED WITH PAT AND I
GAVE MY HEART TO THE LORD,
AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT
I AM FREE.
1-800-759-0700.
IT IS A TOLL-FREE CALL.
THERE IS NO MONEY INVOLVED
WHATSOEVER.
IT IS ALL FREE.
THE GIFT OF LIFE THAT JESUS
GIVES YOU IS FREE, BUT IT
COST HIM HIS LIFE.
1-800-759-0700.
IT'S A TOLL-FREE NUMBER.
TERRY?
Terry: COMING UP.
WE'RE GOING TO "BRING IT
ON."
DIANA SAYS, "MY YOUNGEST
CHILD, 30 YEARS OLD, JUST
TOLD US HE IS TRANSGENDER, A
MALE TO FEMALE.
AS CHRISTIANS, HOW DO WE
HANDLE THIS SITUATION?"
PATS GOING TO TACKLE THAT
QUESTION AND MORE OF YOUR
E-MAILS, AND THAT'S STILL
AHEAD.
AND WELCOME BACK TO "THE
700 CLUB."
ATTENDING CHURCH CUTS DOWN
ON CRIME.
THAT'S ACCORDING TO
RESEARCHERS AT MANCHESTER
UNIVERSITY.
THEY FOUND PEOPLE WHO ATTEND
CHUMP OCHURCH ON A REGULAR
BASIS ARE LESS LIKELY TO
COMMIT CRIMES.
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DROPS
WERE SEEN IN SHOPLIFTING,
THE USE OF ILLEGAL DRUGS,
AND MUSIC PIRACY.
RESEARCHERS BELIEVE THAT
BESIDES TEACHING PEOPLE
MORALITY, BEING INVOLVED IN
CHURCH ALSO KEEPS THEM FROM
ENDING UP IN THE WRONG
CROWD.
THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
SAYS ITS MEMBERSHIP FELL BY
6% LAST YEAR.
THEY VOTED LAST MAY TO LET
OPENLY GAY YOUNG PEOPLE
JOIN.
THAT CHANGE MADE MANY
VOLUNTEERS FROM CHURCHES
ANGRY.
THEY CONSIDER HOMOSEXUALITY
A SIN.
BUT THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST
ASSOCIATION DISAGREED WITH
THE MOVE, AND LEFT IT UP TO
INDIVIDUAL CHURCHES TO
DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO STAY
WITH THE SCOUTS.
SOME WHO LEFT WENT TO A
GROUP CALLED "TRAIL LIFE
U.S.A.," AN ORGANIZATION SET
UP BY CONSERVATIVES AND
CHRISTIAN GROUPS.
YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE
LATEST FROM CBN NEWS BY
GOING TO OUR WEBSITE AT
CBNNEWS.COM.
PAT AND TERRY WILL BE BACK
WITH MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB"
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
Terry: WELL, IT'S TIME
TO "BRING IT ON" WITH YOUR
E-MAIL QUESTIONS.
THIS FIRST ONE IS SENT IN BY
DIANA, WHO SAYS, "MY
YOUNGEST CHILD, 30 YEARS
OLD, JUST TOLD US THAT HE IS
TRANSGENDER, A MALE TO
FEMALE.
AS CHRISTIANS, HOW DO WE
HANDLE THIS?"
Pat: WELL, I THINK THE
FIRST THING YOU DO IS MAKE
SURE THAT THIS GUY KNOWS
WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT,
AND IT IS NOT JUST SOME
MOMENTARY FANTASY THAT HE IS
ENGAGED IN.
YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME TESTS
AND THINGS DONE JUST TO HELP
HIM BECAUSE THIS IS A PRETTY
PERMANENT DEAL.
THEY CUT OFF YOUR MALE
MEMBER, AND YOU CAN'T GET IT
BACK.
AND THEY GIVE YOU HORMONES
AND SO FORTH.
NOW, IF, INDEED, THIS IS A
TRUE SITUATION OF A WOMAN'S
FEELINGS AND HORMONAL
RESPONSES THAT ARE TRAPPED
IN A MALE'S BODY, AND THERE
ARE A FEW OF THOSE, I CAN'T
SEE ANYTHING SINFUL ABOUT
CHANGING IT.
I KNOW PEOPLE SAY, WELL,
THAT'S THE WAY GOD MADE
THEM.
WELL, SURE, BUT GOD COULD
HAVE DONE A LOT OF THINGS
THAT WE GET CORRECTIVE
SURGERY FOR.
I DON'T THINK IF SOMEBODY IS
A TRUE TRANSGENDER THAT WE
SHOULD CONDEMN THEM.
THAT IS JUST THE WAY IT IS.
BUT, NEVERTHELESS, I THINK
AS A LOVING PARENT, YOU
SHOULD COUNSEL THAT PERSON
AND SAY YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE
ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
THIS ISN'T JUST SOMETHING
BECAUSE YOU HAPPEN TO FIND
AN ATTRACTION SOME MAN SOME
PLACE AND YOU THINK YOU'RE A
FEMALE.
YOU BETTER CHECK THAT ONE
OUT PRETTY CAREFULLY.
BUT IN TERMS OF PARENTS --
THE GUY IS 30 YEARS OLD.
HE IS AN ADULT, MATURE
ADULT.
SO WHAT CAN YOU DO EXCEPT
LOVE HIM.
Terry: THIS IS CATHY
WHO SAYS, "MY SON FELL OFF A
ROOF AND HIT HIS HEAD WHEN
HE WAS 16.
HE SUFFERED FROM A TRAUMATIC
BRAIN INJURY, AND SINCE THEN
HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH
SCHIZOPHRENIA.
THE VOICE HE TELLS ME HE
HEARS SOUND VERY DEMONIC TO
ME, BUT DOCTORS SAY IT IS A
CHEMICAL IMBALANCE.
WE'RE REALLY NOT SURE IF IT
IS DEMONIC OR BRAIN DAMAGE.
CAN YOU PLEASE PRAY FOR HIS
HEALING?"
Pat: WE'LL GET PEOPLE
HERE PRAYING FOR HIM.
I REALLY THINK THE DOCTORS
ARE PROBABLY RIGHT ON THAT
ONE.
I THINK THERE IS A
NEUROLOGICAL IMBALANCE.
THEY SAY CHEMICAL, BUT I
DON'T KNOW.
YOU NEED A BLOOD SCREENING,
BLOOD TESTS TO SEE EXACTLY
WHAT IS GOING ON.
MAYBE YOU'LL FIND OUT
SOMETHING.
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT THAT DOESN'T SOUND
DEMONIC, JUST BECAUSE YOU
HIT YOUR HEAD.
Terry: THIS IS CHRISTY
WHO SAYS, "I'M CONFUSED
ABOUT HOW, QUOTE,"FIRST
FRUITS WORK," DO I HAVE TO
GIVE MY WHOLE CHECK OF THE
MONTH?"
Pat: NOT THE WHOLE
CHECK.
YOU'VE GOT A SYSTEM WHERE
PEOPLE PLANT AND HARVEST,
AND THERE WAS A TIME WHEN IT
WAS FIRST FRUITS, AND THEY
WAVED AN OFFERING UNDER THE
LORD.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE
YOUR FIRST PAYCHECK EVERY
MONTH.
IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ANNUAL
AGRICULTURAL PLANTING.
I THINK IF YOU MAKE A
BUSINESS DEAL AND YOU HAVE,
SAY -- YOU'RE SELLING
PROPERTY AND YOUR FIRST
PAYCHECK, YOU GIVE A PORTION
OF THAT AS FIRST FRUITS.
I THINK WE SHOULDN'T BE ALL
HUNG UP ON LEGALISM.
WE'RE FREE FROM THIS.
IN A SENSE, EVERYTHING THAT
WE HAVE BELONGS TO THE
LORD.
AND WE GIVE HIM WHAT BELONGS
TO HIM.
IT IS ALL HIS.
LET HIM GUIDE YOU AS YOU GO
ALONG.
Terry: THIS IS RAYMOND
WHO SAYS, "MY FORMER
PREACHER TOLD ME BECAUSE I
LEFT HIS CHURCH AND WENT TO
ANOTHER ONE, I SHOULD BE
GOING TO HELL.
IF I SHOULD RUN INTO HIM
AGAIN AND HE REPEATS THIS
SENTIMENT, WHAT SHOULD I SAY
TO HIM?"
Pat: SAY, YOU LOOK
FORWARD TO MEETING HIM IN
HELL, TOO, BECAUSE YOU'LL BE
GOING THERE, TOO.
THAT IS OUTRAGEOUS FOR A
PASTOR TO SAY THAT.
THAT'S WHAT A CULT SAYS.
THAT'S THE WAY CULTS KEEP
THEIR MEMBERSHIP.
IF YOU LEAVE US, YOU ARE
GOING TO HELL.
IF YOU LEAVE OUR CULT,
YOU'RE GOING TO HELL.
THAT SOUNDS CULTISH.
YOU NEED TO GET AS FAR AWAY
FROM HIM AS YOU CAN.
IF YOU MEET HIM AGAIN, WHAT
DO YOU SAY?
YOU SAY, I DON'T BUY WHAT
YOU'RE TEACHING.
I THINK YOU'RE IN ERROR.
BUT DON'T GET HUNG UP ON
IT.
JUST GO AND GET AWAY.
Terry: THIS IS SHEILA
WHO SAYS, "IS IT OKAY TO
LISTEN TO CHRISTIAN RAP
MUSIC?"
Pat: I DON'T KNOW WHAT
IS IN THE RAP MUSIC.
Terry: THERE ARE
CHRISTIAN RAP MUSICIANS.
Pat: BUT SHE DOESN'T
SAY WHAT KIND OF RAP MUSIC
SHE IS LISTENING TO.
HERE IS THE RULE: IF IT IS
NOT OF FAITH, IT IS SIN.
IF YOU BELIEVE IT IS WRONG,
THEN IT IS WRONG.
I KNOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE LUCY
GOOSY, BUT IT IS.
I THINK THESE CHRISTIAN
RAPPERS ARE TRYING TO SERVE
THE LORD, AND THEY WANT TO
GLORIFY GOD IN THIS MEDIUM
OF MUSIC.
SO, IS IT A SIN TO LISTEN TO
IT?
I DON'T THINK SO.
BUT IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU
FEEL IN YOUR OWN HEART.
IF YOU FEEL YOU'RE GUILTY,
THEN DON'T DO IT.
Terry: THAT IS EASY.
Pat: WELL, MALARIA, YOU
KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING OUR
GOOD FRIEND RICHARD NIXON
AND THE UNITED NATIONS
BROUGHT ON US.
RACHEL CARSON WROTE A BOOK
CALLED "SILENT SPRING," AND
SHE SAID D.D.T. WAS CAUSING
PROBLEMS.
AND SO WE BAN D.D.T.
AND AS A RESULT, THERE HAS
BEEN AN EXPLOSION OF MALARIA
THROUGHOUT THE THIRD WORLD.
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS HAVE
THIS KILLER DISEASE.
IT IS A KILLER DURING THE
MONSOON SEASON IN PLACES
LIKE SOUTHEAST INDIA.
BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO
HELP PEOPLE PROTECT
THEMSELVES, BEGINNING WITH A
SIMPLE MOSQUITO KIT AND
MOSQUITO NET.
HERE, TAKE A LOOK.
Terry: DEAND HE DEE
AND HER FAMILY WORK IN THE
RICE FIELDS IN SOUTHEAST
INDIA.
EVERY MONSOON SEASON, THEY
SEE THEIR NEIGHBORS SUFFER
AND SOMETIMES DIE FROM
MALARIA BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO
WAY TO PROTECT THEMSELVES.
MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE
FOUR CHILDREN.
WE BARELY MAKE ENOUGH TO BUY
FOOD.
LET ALONE MOSQUITO NETS.
Terry: WHEN HER HUSBAND
AND SON WERE INFECTED WITH
MALARIA, SHE PRAYED TO HER
HINDU GODS FOR HEALING, BUT
HER FAMILY ONLY GOT SICKER.
THAT'S WHEN A CHRISTIAN
PASTOR CAME TO THEIR HOME
AND PRAYED WITH THEM.
AND HE ALSO TOLD THEM ABOUT
A FREE MALARIA TREATMENT
CAMP, SPONSORED BY CBN.
THEY GAVE US TREATMENTS
AND MOSQUITO NETS.
Terry: HER HUSBAND AND
SON ARE RESPONDING WELL TO
THE MEDICINE, AND ARE
EXPECTED TO MAKE A FULL
RECOVERY.
THE PASTOR CONTINUES TO
VISIT THE FAMILY, TO TALK TO
THEM ABOUT JESUS CHRIST AND
TO SEE HOW THEY'RE DOING.
I GIVE MILLIONS OF THANKS
AND RESPECT TO YOU FOR ALL
YOU HAVE DONE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Pat: BECAUSE WE BELIEVE
IN HELPING PEOPLE.
WE BELIEVE IN TAKING CARE OF
THE SICK AND ALSO PREVENTING
DISEASE.
I JUST READ SOMETHING
YESTERDAY, BY THE WAY -- WE
WORK IN HAITI WITH
"OPERATION BLESSING," AND A
GROUP, I THINK FROM
BANGLADESH CAME IN FROM THE
UNITED NATIONS.
THEY HAD CHOLERA, AND THEY
DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF IT.
AND IT GOT INTO THE WATERS
OF HAITI.
AND THEY HAVEN'T HAD CHOLERA
IN HAITI FOR 100 YEARS.
AND NOW THEY'VE GOT IT, AND
MILLIONS HAVE BEEN
AFFECTED.
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS HAVE
DIED.
Terry: IT IS
DEVASTATING.
Pat: AND THEY'RE ASKING
THE UNITED NATIONS TO PAY
THE BILL FOR WHAT THEY DID.
IN ANY EVENT, WE BELIEVE IN
HELPING PEOPLE.
WE HELPED THEM GET CLEAN
WATER IN HAITI, AND WE
HELPED THEM GET MOSQUITO
NETS IN INDIA, SO WHATEVER
IS GOING ON, WE CAN MAKE IT
BETTER.
YOU CAN BE A PART OF IT.
"THE 700 CLUB" IS 65 CENTS A
DAY.

SPECIAL CONTRIBUTION TO CBN
DISASTER RELIEF, "OPERATION
BLESSING."
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU THIS
IF YOU JOIN "THE 700 CLUB."
GORDON DID THIS THING CALLED
"VISIONS OF THE NIGHT."
PEOPLE HAVE DREAMS, AND WHAT
DO DREAMS MEAN?
IT IS KIND OF INTERESTING.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD
DREAMS IN THE BIBLE THAT
HAVE SOME MEANING.
SO WE'LL GIVE YOU THIS WHEN
YOU JOIN.
SO PLEASE CALL.
1-800-759-0700.
LET'S HELP THOSE WHO NEED
OUR HELP.
TERRY?
Terry: UP NEXT, MEET A
MAN WITH A PAINFUL BONE SPUR
ON HIS FOOT, AND SEE HOW HE
WAS HEALED IN AN INSTANT ON
HIS BIRTHDAY.
PLUS WE'LL BE PRAYING FOR
YOU AND YOUR NEEDS.
SO STAY WITH US.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
Terry: LAST MAY RAMONE
RODRIGUEZ SAYS HE GOT THE
BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER,
AND IT CAME WHILE HE WAS
WATCHING THIS PROGRAM WITH
HIS WIFE.
HERE IS HOW IT HAPPENED.
PIE
I WENT OUTSIDE IN THE
BACKYARD, AND I WAS WALKING
ALONG THE SANDS, AND I
STEPPED INTO A HOLE, AND MY
FOOT TWISTED.
RIGHT AWAY I FELT PAIN.
AND I TOLD MY WIFE HAD
HAPPENED.
AND SO SHE SAID, YOU SHOULD
GO SEE A DOCTOR.
AND I SAID, NO, I BELIEVE IT
IS OKAY.
I'M SURE THAT IT'S JUST A
SPRAIN, BUT IT HURT.
IT REALLY HURT.
THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT A
MONTH.
IT CONTINUED AND MY WIFE
FINALLY TALKED ME INTO GOING
TO THE DOCTOR.
AND WHEN I WENT TO THE
DOCTOR, THEY TOOK X-RAYS.
THEY FOUND OUT THAT I HAD A
HAIRLINE FRACTURE WITH A
SPUR THAT HAD DEVELOPED.
THEY SET ME UP FOR THERAPY.
AND STILL THE PAIN
CONTINUED.
WE USED TO GO TO THE PARK
AND WALK AROUND THE PARK,
AND IT WAS PAINFUL.
AND I COULD ONLY DO SO MUCH
AND I'D HAVE TO GIVE UP AND
GO HOME.
OKAY, LET'S GO.
MY BIRTHDAY CAME ALONG ON
MAY 7th.
WE WERE SITTING DOWN IN THE
LIVING ROOM WATCHING PAT,
AND HE SAID THERE IS SOMEONE
OUT THERE WITH A RIGHT FOOT
SPUR THAT HAD DEVELOPED.
AND THE LORD IS HEALING THAT
RIGHT NOW.
Pat: SOMEBODY HAS GOT A
BONE SPUR.
I GUESS IT IS IN YOUR HEEL.
AND IT IS VERY PAINFUL.
IT IS A CALCIUM DEPOSIT THAT
IS STICKING INTO SOMETHING,
AND RIGHT NOW IT IS
LITERALLY MELTING AWAY AND
IT WILL BE GONE.
MY WIFE AND I, RIGHT
AWAY, WE CLAIMED THAT.
WE LAID HANDS ON MY FOOT.
THERE WAS A WARMTH THAT CAME
OVER IT, AND PRAISE GOD, THE
LORD HEALED IT RIGHT THEN
AND THERE.
MY HEEL FEELS FANTASTIC.
IT FEELS GREAT.
I CAN JUMP.
I CAN RUN.
THERE IS NO HINDRANCE.
NONE WHATSOEVER.
THAT MIRACLE CAME.
THANK YOU, FATHER.
OUR GOD CAN DO ANYTHING.
WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE
POSSIBLE.
Terry: QUITE THE
BIRTHDAY GIFT.
HERE IS ANOTHER ONE TO BUILD
YOUR FAITH.
THIS IS ELAINE, WHO HAD A
RAPID HEART BEAT FOR TWO
WEEKS AND SHE COULDN'T
FOCUS.
ONE DAY SHE WAS WATCHING
THIS PROGRAM, AND, PAT, YOU
SAID THIS "A LEFT VENTRICLE
IS NOT PUMPING RIGHT, AND
RIGHT NOW GOD IS DOING
OPEN-HEART SURGERY.
YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL A BURST
OF ENERGY, AND THAT ENERGY
WILL CONTINUE IN THE NAME OF
JESUS."
ELAINE'S RAPID HEARTBEAT
STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND IT
HAS NOT RETURNED.
Pat: ASK AND YOU SHALL
RECEIVE, SEEK AND YOU SHALL
FIND, KNOCK AND THE DOOR
SHALL BE OPENED.
TERRY AND I WILL JOIN HANDS,
AND WE'RE GOING TO BELIEVE
GOD FOR YOU.
FATHER, I JOIN HANDS WITH MY
DEAR SISTER, AND FOR THE
PEOPLE IN HIS AUDIENCE,
WHEREVER THEY FIND
THEMSELVES RIGHT NOW, WE ASK
FOR MIRACLES OF HEALING.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, MANY
THOUSANDS WHO HAVE
ARTHRITIS, EVEN AT THIS
MOMENT ARE BEING HEALED.
THE ARTHRITIC CONDITION IS
GOING TO BE ALLEVIATED.
THE SWELLING WILL GO DOWN,
AND THE IMFLAMMATION WILL GO
DOWN, AND THE PAIN WILL
LEAVE IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
TERRY?
Terry: THERE IS
SOMEONE, YOU HAVE A -- IT IS
QUITE CHRONIC, LIKE A
RASPINESS IN THE BACK OF
YOUR THROAT.
GOD IS HEALING THAT FOR YOU
RIGHT NOW.
IT IS JUST GOING TO GO
AWAY.
SOMEONE ELSE, YOU HAVE LIKE
A PAIN THAT GOES UP IN YOUR
JAW AND BEHIND YOUR EARS.
GOD IS HEALING THAT FOR
YOU.
Pat: PEACE LIKE A
RIVER.
PEACE LIKE A RIVER.
YOU HAD TROUBLE, AND YOU'RE
WORRIED IN MIND, BUT GOD IS
GIVING YOU PEACE LIKE A
RIVER.
IN JESUS' NAME.
I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING WITH US.
WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE YOU
WITH TODAY'S POWER MINUTE,
TAKEN FROM THE BOOK OF
ISAIAH 58: "THE LORD WILL
GUIDE YOU CONTINUALLY, AND
SATISFY YOUR SOUL AND
STRENGTHEN YOUR BONES.
YOU SHALL BE LIKE A WATERED
GARDEN, LIKE A SPRING OF
WATER, WHO'S WATERS DO NOT
FAIL."
THAT'S ALL OF THE TIME WE'VE
GOT FOR TODAY'S PROGRAM.
TERRY AND I SAY GOOD-BYE,
AND REMIND YOU ON
VALENTINE'S DAY, A HUSBAND
AND WIFE SEPARATED BY WAR
ARE REUNITED AFTER 11 LONG
YEARS.
WE'LL SEE YOU THEN.
UNTIL THEN, GOOD-BYE AND GOD
BLESS YOU.
