CHARLENE AARON, CBN NEWS
PAT: THANKS, CHARLENE.
A FEW YEARS AGO IN THE SO-CALLED
COLD WAR, I DID A SPEECH TO THE
COUNCIL WHATEVER WE CALL, IT THE
GROUP DEALING WITH THESE ISSUES.
IT WAS CLEAR TO ME RUSSIA WAS A
PAPERED TIGER, DIDN'T HAVE AN
INFRASTRUCTURE, ROADS HORRIBLE.
THEY WERE LIKE THIRD WORLD.
NOW VLADIMIR PUTIN IS STICKING
HIS CHEST OUT SHOWING WHAT A BIG
SHOT HE IS.
TRUTH IS THAT ECONOMY AS THEY
SAID IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL,
HE IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE AND
POSSIBILITY OF INVADING EASTERN
UKRAINE.
OUR PEOPLE SAY THERE IS NOTHING
THEY CAN DO.
I THINK THERE IS MAYBE WITH THIS
PRESIDENT WE CAN'T.
JOHN JESSUP HAS MORE FROM OUR
TOP STORY.
HERE IS JOHN.
REPORTER: IN CRIMEA, RUSSIAN
TROOPS TOOK TWO UKRAINIAN BY
FORCE.
PRESIDENT OBAMA IS IN THE
NETHERLANDS MEETING WITH
EUROPEAN LEADERS ABOUT THE

THAT RESPONDS HAS LITTLE IMPACT.
HERE A VLADIMIR PUTIN WITH A
FAILING SOVIET FRANCHISE.
HE USES ENERGY EXTORTION, MASS
GUNMAN AND BARBED WIRE.
HE IS A BULLY.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT PUTIN HAS
IN HIS MIND AND WHAT WOULD BE
HIS DECISION.
THAT IS WHY THE SITUATION IS
MORE EXPLOSIVE AN IT USED TO BE
A WEEK AGO.
A TOP WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL,
RUSSIA MIGHT INVADE EASTERN
UKRAINE AND NOTHING THE U.S. CAN
DO TO STOP IT.
WHAT VLADIMIR PUTIN IS DOING IN
UKRAINE IS ONLY ONE CAUSE FOR
CONCERN.
FOR YEARS HE HAS BEEN ROLLING
OUT A SOVIET STYLE CRACK DOWN
INCLUDING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
MANY EX-SOVIET STATES HAVE BEEN
FOLLOWING SUIT.
PAUL STRAND REPORTERS.
PAUL: REPRESENTATIVES
GATHERED ON CAPITOL HILL.
SADLY THE TRUTH IS, GOVERNMENT
CONTINUES TO PERSECUTE AND
PUNISH BELIEVERS IN MUCH OF THE
EX-SOVIET UNION.
THEY TALKED ABOUT TO CBN NEWS
ABOUT THE DIRE REALITY IN RUSSIA
WHERE VLADIMIR PUTIN IS CRACKING
DOWN AFTER IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS
ON THE SIDE OF RUSSIAN
LIBERTIES.
AFTER HIS SECOND TERM, HE
BEGAN TO ROLL BACK A LOT OF THE
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ISSUES, HUMAN
RIGHTS ISSUES.
IT HAS BEEN A VERY DIFFICULT
DIRECTION.
PAUL: HE LOOKED AT THE LACK
OF LIBERTY ACROSS THE MANY
SOVIET STATES.
WE HAVE -- FROM SOCIETY.
ISLAMIST SOCIETY AND ORTHODOX
SOCIETY.
HUGE CHALLENGES AND FOR CIVIL
SOCIETY AS WELL.
PAUL: IT IS REALLY HARD TO
GENERALIZE.
THESE ARE COPYING THE RUSSIAN
MODEL, ELIMINATING FREE PRESS
AND OPPOSITION CANDIDATE.
PAUL: LAWMAKERS STOPPED BY TO
WISH THESE PEOPLE WELL.
MY HEART IS WITH YOU.
I DON'T THINK YOU COULD BE DOING
A GREATER WORK, RELIGIOUS
FREEDOM IS THE FOUNDATION OF ALL
HUMAN FREEDOM.

PAT: OUR FOREIGN POLICY HAS
BEEN ANNOUNCED IS LEADING FROM
BEHIND.
WE WANTED SOMEBODY ELSE TO DO IT

WE DIDN'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED
IN THAT SYRIAN CIVIL WAR.
THE CONSEQUENCES ARE ALARMING.
NUMBERS ARE STAGGERING, MORE
THAN 100,000 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
KILLED IN THAT SYRIAN CIVIL WAR.
MORE THAN TWO MILLION HAVE FLED
FROM THEIR LIVES.
SYRIAN CIVIL WAR HAS TAKEN ITS
TOLL AND CHRISTIANS ARE AMONG
THE TOP CASUALTIES.
OUR GARY LANE BRINGS US THEIR
STORIES FROM IRAQ AND LEBANON.
GARY: ANOTHER SYRIAN
GOVERNMENT BARREL BOMB EXPLODES
ON REBEL CIVILIANS.
MOST SEVERE SINCE WORLD WAR II.
ACCORDING TO THE UNITED NATIONS,
MORE THAN TWO MILLION SYRIANS
ARE REGISTERED REFUGEES.
MOST LIVE IN TENT CITIES LIKE
THIS ONE, CAMP IN NORTHERN IRAQ.
THEY FORCED THIS WIDOW AND
CHILDREN TO ABANDON THEIR WHEAT
FARM.
U.N. HAS GIVEN THEM FOOD AND
BLANKETS.
SHE LACKS MONEY TO BUY FRESH
FRUIT AND VEGETABLES FOR HER
CHILDREN.
I AM IN LEBANON'S BAHKA VALLEY.
THIS CAMP IS ONLY SIX MONTHS
OLD.
MANY OF THE SYRIANS LIVING IN
TENTS HAVE YET TO REGISTER WITH
THE U.N.
THEY ARE TURNING TO CHRISTIAN
GROUPS AND OTHERS FOR HELP.
THEY ARRIVED JUST DAYS BEFORE WE
MET HIM.
WE ARE WITHOUT ELECTRICITY
AND WATER.
OUR CITY WAS SURROUNDED BY THE
ARMY.
THEY ARE KIDNAPPING CHRISTIANS.
IT IS A VERY BAD SITUATION.
GARY: HE LIVES WITH ANOTHER
FAMILY THAT ARRIVED SIX MONTHS
AGO.
TOTAL OF 13 PEOPLE CRAMPED IN
THIS TWO-BEDROOM APARTMENT.
THEY ARE TRYING TO KICK ALL
THE CHRISTIANS OUT OF THE
COUNTRY.
A CHRISTIAN FRIEND OF MINE
WORKING CONSTRUCTION BUILDING A
GOVERNMENT SCHOOL.
THEY KILLED HIM AND STOLE HIS
TRUCK.
THEY DON'T HAVE COMPASSION OR
MERCY FOR US.
GARY: GROUPS LIKE CBN
PARTNER, HEART FOR LEBANON ARE
SHOWING MUCH COMPASSION, THOSE
MOHAMMED.G
THE TENT LEAKED WHEN IT RAINED.
A HEART FOR LEBANON WORKER
CONVINCED THE PROPERTY OWNER TO
LET THE FAMILY LIVE IN THIS
SHED.
MOHAMMED ATTENDED THIS SCHOOL
SHORTLY AFTER THE CIVIL WAR
BEGAN.
HE WANTS TO GO TO THE SCHOOL.
HE IS FIVE YEARS OLD.
GARY: THIS ACTIVIST TOURS A
SYRIAN REFUGEE CAMP IN JORDAN.
SHE AND OTHERS WORRY MOHAMMED'S
GENERATION WILL LOSE.

YOUNG REFUGEES NEED MORE THAN
EDUCATION, FOOD AND HOUSING.
MANY LIKE 13-YEAR-OLD HAMAD WAS
BORN WITHOUT FULLY DEVELOPED
LEGS.
HE ENDURED A STRENUOUS JERN
JOURNEY TO LEBANON.
IT DOESN'T ATTACH CORRECTLY
DOWN HERE.
THAT IS NOW HOW TO TIBIA WOULD
TALAS.@
THAT IS NOT NORMAL.
GARY: THEY ALSO HELPED
ARRANGE LEG SURGERY.
HAMAD MAY EVENTUALLY WALK.
THEY ARE HELPING OTHERS WITH WAR
INJURIES LIKE 18-YEAR-OLD
FERAGE.

WALKING LAST SUMMER.
TODAY HE IS WALKING ON HIS OWN.
HE NEARLY DIED WHEN A ROCKET
EXPLODED IN HIS LIVING ROOM
TOSSING HIM LIKE A RAG DOLL FROM
A SECOND STORY BALCONY.
THE FALL BROKE HIS ARM AND HOT
SHRAPNEL IN HIS CHEST.
HE SAID I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE A
SOLDIER.
HE WOULD PREFER TO RETURN TO
WORK IN THE CLOTHING INDUSTRY.
HE WANTS AMERICANS TO PRAY FOR
HIM.
PRAY GOD WILL HEAL ME AND I
WILL WALK NORMALLY.

SYRIAN HOME.

TREMENDOUS SUFFERING.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE
SUFFERING THAT GOES ON AROUND
THE WORLD IS BEYOND MEASURE.
WE HAVE IT SO WELL HERE IN
AMERICA.
ONE THING WE SHOULD DO IS NOT
COMPLAIN.
AS A GREAT NATION WE ARE THE
ONES THAT THE WHOLE WORLD LOOKS
TO FOR FREEDOM, LIBERTY AND
OPPORTUNITY.
WE CAN'T DEFAULT ON THAT.
WE NEED LEADERSHIP IT IS MORE
THAN JUST MAKING A DECLARATION
LIKE THERE WILL BE A LINE IN THE
SAND AND IGNORING IT.
THERE WILL BE A RED LINE AND
IGNORING IT.
THIS IS THE LINE YOU CAN'T

LORD'S PRESENCE.
I AM JUST AVERAGE.
THROUGH HIM, YOU CAN BE
EXTRAORDINARY.
REPORTER: AFTER SITTING THE
BENCH MOST OF HIS FRESHMAN YEAR,
HE CAME OFF THE BENCH AND WON
THE STARTING JOB.
KEY TO TURNING THAT AROUND WAS
HARD WORK AND FOCUSSING ON THE
LORD.
I FELT THAT HE WAS, I WASN'T

I AM SO GLAD ABOUT THIS MASS

NATIONS.
TERRY: WOW.
PAT: TWO MONTH'S TIME.
TERRY: THAT IS FABULOUS.
IT IS GOING TO BE A GREAT THING.
TIME TO BRING IT ON WITH THE
E-MAIL QUESTIONS YOU HAVE
SUBMITTED.
FIRST IS FROM BELINDA, I HEARD
YOU SAY YOU BELIEVED THE CHURCH
WILL LIVE THROUGH THE
TRIBULATION, CAN YOU TALK ABOUT
PREPAREDNESS/STOCKING UP ON FOOD
AND ESSENTIALS.
SHOULD I BELIEVE GOD WILL
PROVIDE OR PREPARE FOR THE
WORST?
PAT: I TELL YOU WHAT,
REGARDLESS OF THE TRIBULATION,
WE'LL HAVE TIMES WHEN THERE WILL
BE HURRICANES, POWER OUTAGES,
EARTHQUAKES AND ALL KINDS OF
DISASTERS THAT COME ABOUT.
IN SUCH AN OCCASION, IF YOU HAVE
FRESH WATER, IF YOU HAVE A
SOURCE OF FOOD, IF YOU HAVE SOME
FLASHLIGHTS AND A BATTERIED
RADIO AND A FEW THINGS AND FIRST
AID KIT, YOU MIGHT SURVIVE
WHEREAS YOU WOULDN'T SURVIVE.
IN TERMS OF AN ASTEROID STRIKING
THE EARTH OR SOMETHING LIKE
THAT, NO WAY YOU ARE GOING TO
PREPARE FOR THAT.
TRUST THE LORD AND THE BIBLE
SAYS OCCUPY -- SPEND OUR TIME
GETTING PEOPLE TO THE LORD NOT
SPENDING OUR TIME WORRYING ABOUT
THE TRIBULATION AND IF WE'LL
SURVIVE IT.
TRUST IN THE LORD.
HAVING A COUPLE WEEK'S SUPPLIES
OF ANYTHING, DRIED FOOD WHATEVER
IS SMART.
TERRY: THIS IS TINA, MY
HUSBAND AND I DIVORCED AFTER TEN
YEARS OF MARRIAGE WITH
INFIDELITY HANGING OVER OUR
MARRIAGE, I KNEW I COULD NEVER
LOOK AT HIM AGAIN.
WE HAVE BOTH MOVED ON AND I AM
IN A RELATIONSHIP OUT OF
WEDLOCK, ANY HOPE FOR SALVATION,
OR AM I DOOMED TO HELL.
IF NOT, HOW DO I TEACH MY
CHILDREN TO DO THE SAME THING.
PAT: BIBLE DOESN'T SAY
MARRIAGE AFTER DIVORCE IS A SIN.
IT DOESN'T SAY THAT.
IT SAYS EXCEPT FOR THE CAUSE OF
ADULTERY, YOU HAVE ADULTERY IN
YOUR CASE, YOU ARE PERFECTLY
FREE TO REMARRY.
YOU ARE COHCO-HAS BEEN AT A TIMING,
THAT IS A SIN.
MAKE SURE HE IS THE ONE.
MAKE SURE HE LOVES THE LORD.
OKAY.
TERRY: THIS IS SANDRA, I
WORK WITH AN ATHEIST, AT ONE
TIME I THOUGHT I COULD WITNESS
TO HER AND BRING HER TO JESUS.
SHE GETS OPENLY HOSTILE OF THE
MENTION OF GOD AND ANGRY HEARING
THE WORD "GOD," SHOULD I ABANDON
THE IDEA OF BEING A POSITIVE
INFLUENCE AND LET HER PERISH?
PAT: TO BE THAT OPENLY
HOSTILE TO THE WORD GOD,
SOMETHING BEYOND NORMAL HUMAN
EXPERIENCE.
SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED AND
ASSOCIATES GOD.
MAYBE SHE HAD AN ABUSING FATHER,
RAPED HER AND ACTED LIKE HE WAS
PREACHING TO HER FROM THE BIBLE.
ALL YOU CAN DO IS BE
UNDERSTANDING AND LOVING.
PRAY FOR HER.
IF SHE WON'T HEAR, SHE WON'T
HEAR.
I MEAN, YOU HAVE DONE WHAT YOU
CAN DO.
ALWAYS IN LOVE.
SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE, YOU
KNOW, IF YOU TRY TO START AN
ENGINE WITHOUT OIL, THE ENGINE
WILL GET FRICTION AND TEAR
ITSELF UP.
IF THERE IS OIL, THE GEARS WILL
BEGIN TO FLOW.
THERE NEEDS TO BE AN ANOINTING
OIL AND PRAY FOR THAT ANOINTING,
ALL RIGHT.
TERRY: IF SOMEONE DOESN'T
FORGIVE OTHERS, BIBLE SAYS GOD
CAN'T FORGIVE THAT PERSON.
WILL THAT PERSON GO TO HELL?
PAT: GOD CAN DO ANYTHING.
WHY DON'T WE HEAD THESE THINGS.
TERRY: IF YOU WANT TO BE
FORGIVEN, YOU HAVE TO FORGIVE
OTHERS.
PAT: DOESN'T MEAN GOD CAN'T.
WHAT DO WE DO?
THE MODEL PRAYER GOD GAVE US,
FORGIVE US THOSE TRESPASSES.
SOMETHING ABOUT US, ABOUT BEING
BORN AGAIN WE HAVE TO BE WILLING
TO -- ACCORD TO SOMEBODY ELSE
WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS
EXCEPT BE WILLING TO FORGIVE.
WHAT WAS THE QUESTION?
TERRY: SHE WANTED TO KNOW IF
WE DON'T FORGIVE, WOULD WE GO TO
HELL FOR NOT FORGIVING?
PAT: ANSWER IS YOUR SINS
MIGHT HANG ON, IF YOU DON'T HAVE
A FORGIVING SPIRIT, YOU CAN HAVE
BITTERNESS IN YOUR HEART.
IT IS LIKE A CANCER, IT WILL EAT
YOU UP.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY
ABOUT THAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER SOMEONE IS
GOING TO HELL OR NOT.
I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION.
TERRY: MY PASTOR RECENTLY
DIVORCED A FEW WEEKS AFTER HIS
DIVORCE WAS FINAL, HE BEGAN
DATING SOMEONE WHO WAS AN OLD
FAMILY FRIEND.
INITIALLY SHE SHOWED UP RANDOMLY
AS A NEW MEMBER.
OBVIOUS THERE WAS AN ATTRACTION.
I OFTEN SEE THEIR PICK DHUR --
PICTURES TAKEN AS A COUPLE.
IT MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE.
SHOULD I CONFRONT HIM OR IGNORE
IT, IS HE IN THE WRONG.
PAT: I DO NOT DO THIS
FACEBOOK THING.
I AM GOING TO DEFRIEND YOU AND
KICK YOU OFF.
THAT IS THE ULTIMATE, I AM GOING
TO TAKE YOUR PICTURE OUT OF MY
FACEBOOK PAGE.
[LAUGHTER].
LISTEN, LET THE MAN LIVE HIS
LIFE.
HE IS DIVORCED.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WENT ON.
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT GOES ON BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS.
WE SHOULDN'T JUDGE SOMEBODY ON
THEIR MARRIAGE THAT FELL APART.
TOO BAD.
HE HAS FOUND SOMEBODY HE IS
COMFORTABLE WITH HAVING, MAYBE
THEY ARE HAVING A LIFE TOGETHER.
WAS THERE A CAUSE?
WAS THERE ADULTERY?
I CAN SAY DON'T JUDGE SOMEBODY
ELSE.
JUDGE NOT THAT YOU BE NOT
JUDGED.
AND, I WANT TO TAKE YOU OUT OF
MY FACEBOOK, GIVE ME A BREAK,
WHO CARES?
TERRY?
[LAUGHTER].
MY EX-DOG HAS 35,000 FACEBOOK
FRIENDS.
[LAUGHTER].
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT IS NEXT.
TERRY: IN THE PHILIPPINES A
YOUNG GIRL NAMED SANDY WAS BORN
WITH A HOLE IN HER HEART.
HER PARENTS COULDN'T AFFORD THE
SURGERY NEEDED TO SAVE HER LIFE
UNTIL THEY MET A TEEN FROM CBN'S
ORPHAN'S PROMISE.
SEVEN-YEAR-OLD SANDY COULD
NOT GO TO SCHOOL LIKE HER
BROTHER.
INSTEAD SHE HAS TO STAY WITH HER
MOTHER AS SHE GOES TO WORK.
SHE WAS BORN WITH A HOLE IN HER
HEART.
THAT HAS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO
PHYSICAL DO ANY
ACTIVITY.
WHEN I PLAY, I GET TIRED
EASIL
EASILY.
ONE NIGHT SHE WAS BREATHING
SO HARD, I RUSHED HER TO THE
HOSPITAL.
I THOUGHT I AM GOING TO LOSE
HER.
ITKENMES I WOULD HAVE
PLACE.
IT IS SO HARD.
ALEXANDER AND HER HUSBAND
KNEW HEART SURGERY WILL SAVE HER
LIFE BUT COMBINED INCOME WOULD
BARELY PAY FOR MEDICINE.
WE PRAYED FOR THEM AND ARRANGED
FOR HER TO HAVE SURGERY AND
FOLLOW UP CARE AND MEDICINE.
THE PAIN IN MY CHEST IS GONE.

AND THE NOAH MOVIE OUT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW ACCURATE.
TERRY: IT IS AGAINST GLOBAL

[LAUGHTER].

ANYHOW.
MAYBE THIS WEEK WE CAN HAVE BOO

LONG TIME.
PAT: IT IS 3500-4000.
HE IS POPULAR FOR A DOG.
[LAUGHTER].
HE WRITES TO PEOPLE.
TERRY: WE MIGHT NEED PROOF.
PAT: HE WAS SAYING I DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEBODY WOULD
SAY THAT.
THEY TALK TO HIM LIKE HE WAS A
HUMAN BEING.
YOU KNOW.
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SIN
IS ABOUT.
TERRY: I THINK SOME OF YOU
THINK HE IS A HUMAN BEING.
[LAUGHTER].
HE IS BEAUTIFUL.
PAT: HE'LL BE HERE.
UP NEXT, A METH ADDICT GETS A
CRYSTAL CLEAR LOOK AT HIS LIFE.
I HAD BEEN UP THREE OR FOUR
DAYS.
I SAID WOW.
OKAY.
THIS IS IT.
I AM GOING TO DIE.
THIS IS GOING TO KILL ME.
PAT: HEAR HOW A BOOK SAVED
HIS LIFE COMING UP NEXT.
TERRY: STEPHEN WAS A
TEENAGER WHEN HE TRIED HIS FIRST
JOINT.
MARIJUANA TURNED TO COCAINE AND
COCAINE SOON TURNED TO METH.
AND METH NEARLY COST STEPHEN HIS
LIFE.
I HAD BEEN UP THREE OR FOUR
DAYS.
IT WAS SUBTLE ON THE RIDE HOME
MOMENT IT JUST DAWNED ON ME.
I SAID WOW, OKAY, THIS IS IT.
I AM GOING TO DIE.
THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO KILL
ME.
BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH TO SCARE ME
INTO QUITTING.
WHEN I WAS 13, I GOT INTO
BANDS, I STARTED PLAYING MUSIC.
WHEN I WAS 16 OR 17, I WAS A
HOUSE BAND FOR A DIVE BAR.
I STARTED TURNING TO THE
CIGARETTES, THEN ALCOHOL.
ESCALATED TO SMOKING MARIJUANA
TO SELLING MARIJUANA.
YOU WOULD END UP IN PLACES WHERE
SOMEBODY WOULD BE LIKE HEY,
SMOKE THAT WITH ME AND I'LL
SHARE THIS WITH YOU.
NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN A
ROOM AND DOING A DRUG YOU HAVE
NEVER DONE BEFORE.
THEN IT BECAME WHO I AM.
JUST BECAME WHAT I DO.
THE DAY SOMEBODY SAID TRY THIS,
IT WAS CRYSTAL METH.
THAT WAS ALL SHE WROTE.
I WAS LIKE THIS, I LOVE THIS.
GOOD.E
úúxRYTHING SEEM8ñ8ñ
EXCITING.
MADE EVERYTHING SEEM LIKE IT WAS
THOUGH YOU KNEW IT
WAS.
IT TOOK OVER AGGRESSIVELY TOOK
OVER.
I STOPPED CARING ABOUT MUSIC AND
THINGS THAT MEANT A LOT.
PEOPLE WOULD SAY MAN, YOU ARE
LIKE SKIN AND BONES, WHAT IS
GOING ON.
I WEIGHED UNDER 100 POUNDS.
I WAS LITERALLY A WALKING
SKELETON.
EVER A POINT I WAS NOT HIGH AND
HAD ANY MOMENT OF CLARITY, IT
WAS HORRIFYING.
I JUST INSTANTLY QUICKLY WANTED
TO GET HIGH AGAIN.
WITH THE DRUG YOU START
DETERIORATING.
YOU DON'T REALIZE IT UNTIL YOU
LOOK UP, EVERYTHING IS DARK AND
FALLING APART AROUND ME.
I CAN'T STOP DOING THIS.
IT WAS JUST A SUBTLE MOMENT, IT
DAWNED ON ME.
I SAID WOW, OKAY.
THIS IS IT.
I AM GOING TO DIE.
THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO KILL
ME.
MY SISTER WAS INTENSELY BURDENED
TO PRAY FOR ME.
A GREAT DEAL OF PRAYER.
MY BROTHER-IN-LAW CAME TO ME AND
GAVE ME THIS BOOK "A CASE FOR
CHRIST"
BY LEE STROEBL.
I ACCEPTED IT.
IT WAS 3:00 A.M. I WAS READING
THIS BOOK.
I FELT, THE TRUTH, I FELT THE
PRESENCE OF GOD IN THE ROOM.
THE FALSE JOY AND HAPPINESS I
WAS TRYING TO FILL FOR ALL THOSE
YEARS ON CRYSTAL METH, I FELT
THAT NIGHT IN THE PRESENCE OF
GOD.
IN THAT MOMENT I SAID, OKAY,
GOD, IF YOU ARE REAL, I BELIEVE
YOU ARE REAL, I AM GOING TO GO
AS FAR AS TO SAY YOU ARE REAL,
JESUS IS FOR REAL, I WILL GIVE
YOU MY ENTIRE LIFE.
I WILL STOP EVERYTHING.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO QUIT ALL
THIS.
THIS IS ALL I HAVE EVER BEEN.
I CAN'T IMAGINE ME A PART FROM
IT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I AM GOING TO
DO IT.
AND I THOUGHT MORE POWERFUL THAN
WORDS.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO I WILL.
I KNEW IT WAS LIKE HE IS GOING
TO DO THIS.
THIS IS REAL.
HE CAN REALLY SAVE ME.
THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
I KNEW I KNEW.
I QUIT EVERYTHING OVERNIGHT.
WHAT HAD BEEN A DRIVE TO FIND MY
NEXT HIGH HAD NOW BECOME A DRIVE
FOR GOD.
I WANTED TO MEAT HIM AND KEEP
GOING AFTER HIM.
I STARTED WANTING TO EXPRESS
MYSELF AND THIS JOY AND THIS
THING I AM REALIZING.
ABILITY TO GIFT THE LOVE FOR
MUSIC.
HE BROUGHT IT BACK AND STARTED
ALLOWING ME TO WRITE MUSIC.
I GET TO WRITE CHRISTIAN MUSIC
FULL TIME.
I GET TO LEAD WORSHIP ALL THE
TIME TRAVELING AROUND.
YONL GOD COULD HAVE DONE THAT.
I CAN'T TAKE NO CREDIT FOR ANY
OF THAT.
*
*
*
I EXPERIENCE D ZEPHANIAH 3:17,
THE LORD YOUR GOD IS WITH YOU,
HE IS MIGHTY TO SAVE, HE
DELIGHTS IN YOU GREATLY AND
REJOICES OVER YOU SINGING.
FROM THAT NIGHT, I REALIZED GOD
WAS ABLE TO PULL ME OUT OF THE
WRECKAGE, THIS GOD.
THE GOD THAT SAVES.
*
SO AS I READ THAT LINE HE
REJOICES OVER YOU, HE IS SO
POWERFUL TO ME.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO
FAR FROM GOD.
TERRY: YOU NEED GOD TO
RESCUE YOU TODAY?
I DON'T KNOW YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES.
I KNOW GOD LOVES YOU SO VERY,
VERY MUCH.
MORE THAN YOU COULD BEGIN TO
IMAGINE OR ASK FOR.
ON TOP OF THAT HE IS ABLE TO
DELIVER YOU OUT OF WHATEVER YOU
HAVE GOTTEN YOURSELF IN TO.
YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM THE LOVE
OF GOD.
THING IS TO REALLY EXPERIENCE
IT, YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT.
SO TODAY, I WANT TO SUGGEST TO
YOU, YOU INVITE JESUS RIGHT INTO
THE MIDDLE OF YOUR MESS LIKE SO
MANY OF US HAVE AND SAY GOD, I
CAN'T DO THIS BY MYSELF.
I NEED YOU.
I WANT YOU.
JESUS LOVED YOU SO MUCH THAT
BEFORE YOU WERE EVEN BORN, AND
YET WHILE HE KNEW WE WERE ALL
SINNERS, HE DIED FOR US.
GAVE EVERYTHING WE HAD.
TOOK ON THE SIN OF MAN KIND SO
YOU AND I COULD LIVE FREE.
IF YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCING THAT
FREEDOM, THEN YOU ARE MISSING
OUT ON YOUR INHERITANCE.
IT IS WHAT GOD CREATED YOU FOR.
TODAY HIS MESSAGE COMES TO YOU
THROUGH THE STORY OF STEPHEN
MCWORDER.
HE IS ONE OF MILLIONS AND
MILLIONS THAT HAVE BEEN SET FREE
BY THE POWERFUL LOVE OF JESUS
CHRIST.
FORGIVEN ALL AND LOVED ENOUGH
GOD SINGS OVER HIM TODAY,
REJOICES OVER HIM, QUIETS HIM
WITH HIS LOVE.
WHEN WE ARE OUT THERE DOING OUR
THING, SOMETIMES IT IS PRETTY
CHAOTIC.

IN YOUR LIFE?
