Wendy: KNOCKED OUT BY

FLU SEASON.

THERE WAS A LOT OF

CONGESTION IN MY CHEST.

Wendy: AND IT ONLY GOT

WORSE.

I WOULD TAKE A DEEP

BREATH AND I WOULD ONLY HEAR

WHISTLING.

Wendy: AND THEN...AFTER

DECADES OF WAR, A COUNTRY

SEES GLIMMERS OF PEACE.

PLUS...DESTRESS YOUR

HOLIDAYS.

CAMILLE STYLES REVEALS HOW

YOU CAN ENTERTAIN ON A

BUDGET, ON TODAY'S "700

CLUB."

*

Pat: WELL, WELCOME TO

THIS EDITION OF "THE 700

CLUB."

THE HEARINGS GOT UGLY.

ARE YOU STUPID?

THE MAN CALLED AN ARCHITECT

OF OBAMACARE SAID OVER AND

OVER AGAIN THE AMERICAN

VOTERS WERE STUPID.

NOW HE IS BACKING UP.

HE IS APOLOGIZING.

I'M SO SORRY.

MY COMMENTS WERE THOUGHTLESS

AND ON AND ON.

BUT IT IS JUST ANOTHER

POLITICAL DISASTER FOR THE

DEMOCRATS.

Wendy: JOHN THAN GRUBER

WENT BEFORE CONGRESS ON

TUESDAY, AND HE IS STILL

DEFENDING THE OBAMACARE LAW

HE HELPED PUT TOGETHER.

HEATHER SELLS HAS THE

STORY.

Reporter: BOTH

POLITICAL PARTIES HAD A

SPECIAL FURY FOR JONATHAN

GRUBER, ALL BASED ON

COMMENTS HE MADE BIB ABOUT

OBAMACARE.

IT WAS REALLY, REALLY

CRITICAL.

YOU MADE A SERIES OF

TROUBLING STATEMENTS THAT

WERE NOT ONLY AN INSULT TO

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, BUT

REVEALED A PATTERN OF

INTENTIONAL MISLEADING THE

PUBLIC ABOUT THE TRUE IMPACT

AND NATURE OF OBAMACARE.

AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, WE

ARE HERE TODAY TO BEAT UP ON

JONATHAN GRUBER.

FOR STUPID -- I MEAN

ABSOLUTELY STUPID COMMENTS

HE MADE OVER THE PAST FEW

YEARS.

Reporter: GRUBER'S

COMMENTS SAID ELIJAH

CUMMINGS WERE A P.R. GIFT TO

REPUBLICANS, WRAPPED IN A

BOW.

MR. GRUBER, IN A STRANGE

WAY, I KIND OF APPRECIATE

WHAT YOU SAID IN THE VIDEOS

BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE

SOMEONE CAME CLEAN AND TOLD

THE TRUTH.

Reporter: GRUBER

APOLOGIZED REPEATEDLY.

IT IS NEVER RIGHT TO MAKE

ONE SELF SEEM MORE IMPORTANT

ABOUT EMBARRASSING OTHERS.

I'M NOT A POLITICIAN NOR A

POLITICAL ADVISOR.

Reporter: REPUBLICANS

WEREN'T BUYING IT, AND THEY

PRESSED HIM TO DETAIL JUST

HOW MUCH HE WAS PAID TO HELP

PUT TOGETHER THE PRESIDENT'S

HEALTH CARE BILL.

WHAT I'M ASKING YOU IS:

HOW MUCH MONEY DID THE

TAXPAYERS, STATE OR FEDERAL,

PAY YOU TO HAVE YOU THEN LIE

TO THEM.

Reporter: DURING SOME

FIVE HOURS ON THE HOT SEAT,

GRUBER WORKED HARD TO

PROMOTE THE LEGISLATION HE

HELPED CREATE.

I BEHAVED BADLY, AND I'LL

HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT, BUT

MY OWN ARROGANCE IS NOT A

FLAW IN THE AFFORDABLE CARE

ACT.

Reporter: THE LATEST

GALLOP POLL SHOWS A RECORD

LOW 37% APPROVE OF

OBAMACARE, AND A RECORD HIGH

56% DISAPPROVE.

IT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY

THE DEMOCRATS TOOK SUCH A

BEATING IN HIS YEAR'S

ELECTIONS.

AND SCHUMER NOW CALLS

PASSING OBAMACARE A

POLITICAL MISTAKE, AND THIS

ONLY MAGNIFIES WHAT HAS

BECOME A BIG POLITICAL

PROBLEM FOR THE DEMOCRATS.

HEATHER SELLS, CBN NEWS.

Pat: JUST THINK OF THAT

THING, NANCY PELOSI SAYS

WE'VE GOT TO PASS IT SO WE

CAN FIND OUT WHAT IS IN IT.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE.

AND THAT'S WHAT GRUBER KNEW,

HE COULD PULL THE WOOL OVER

THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS'

EYES, AND NOBODY KNEW WHAT

WAS IN THE LAW, 2300 PAGES

OF WHATEVER, OF GOBBLETY

GOOP.

NOT ONE REPUBLICAN VOTED FOR

IT.

IT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY A

DEMOCRATIC MOVE.

AND NOW IT IS FALLING

APART.

BECAUSE IT WAS AN ATTEMPT TO

CONTROL ONE-SIXTH OF THE

ECONOMY BY A GOVERNMENT

MANDATE, AND IT ISN'T

WORKING.

NOW, IS POLITICS GOING TO

TRUMP THE SECURITY OF THE

UNITED STATES?

AND THE ANSWER IS, OF COURSE

IT WILL.

POLITICS TRUMPS EVERYTHING.

NOW, SOME YEARS AGO -- YEARS

AND YEARS AND YEARS AGO, THE

C.I.A. HAD SOME ENHANCED IN

INTERROGATION TECHNIQUES.

SOME SEEMED TO BE A LITTLE

HARSH, AND SOME BRUTAL.

BUT, NEVERTHELESS, THE

CONGRESS, INCLUDING DIANNE

FEINSTEIN, WERE BRIEFED AND

INFORMED PRECISELY OF WHAT

WAS GOING ON.

AND RIGHT AFTER 9/11 THE

UNITED STATES WAS IN A MODE

WHERE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO

HAVE A THING LIKE THAT

HAPPEN AGAIN.

AND SO SEVERAL MAJOR PLOTS

WERE DESTROYED.

NOW -- NOW, JUST BEFORE THE

DEMOCRATS LOSE CONTROL OF

THE SENATE, JUST BEFORE

THAT, THEY HAVE TO RUSH OUT

WITH AN ILL-CONCEIVED

INTELLIGENCE STUDY THAT

DISCREDITS THE C.I.A. BUT

LAYS OPEN C.I.A. OPERATIVES

ALL AROUND THE WORLD FOR

POTENTIAL RETALIATION.

AND FORMER INTELLIGENCE

EXECUTIVES ARE BLASTING THE

SENATE DEMOCRATIC REPORT,

CALLING IT BIAS AND

DESTRUCTIVE.

JOHN JESSUP HAS THAT STORY

FROM OUR CBN NEWS BUREAU IN

WASHINGTON.

HERE'S JOHN.

John: PAT, THAT REPORT

ARGUES THE C.I.A.'S HARSH IN

INTERROGATION METHODS DID

NOTHING TO MAKE AMERICA

SAFER AFTER THE 9/11

ATTACKS.

BUT PRESIDENT OBAMA'S OWN

DIRECTOR IS STILL DEFENDING

THE METHODS, SAY THEY DID

PREVENT TERROR ATTACKS AND

SAVED LIVES.

IT INCLUDED SLEEP

DEPRIVATION, WATERBOARDING,

AND OTHER HARSH TREATMENT OF

TERRORISM SUSPECTS.

BUT DEMOCRATS AND ONE KEY

REPUBLICAN ARE SUPPORTING

THE RELEASE OF THE REPORT.

SENATOR JOHN McCAIN WAS

TORTURED WHILE IN CAPTIVITY

DURING THE VIETNAM WAR.

I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE

THAT THE ABUSE OF PRISONERS

WILL PRODUCE MORE BAD

RESULTS THAN GOOD.

THE TREATMENT OF THE

DETAINEES WAS ABSOLUTELY

BRUTAL.

Reporter: BUT

REPUBLICANS DISAGREE, SAYING

THE REPORT DOESN'T REALLY DO

ANY GOOD.

THIS PARTICULAR RELEASE,

IN MY JUDGMENT, SERVES NO

PURPOSE WHATSOEVER, OTHER

THAN TO ENDANGER AMERICANS

AROUND THE WORLD.

IT WILL ENDANGER C.I.A.

PERSONNEL SOURCES, AND

FUTURE INTELLIGENCE

OPERATIONS.

John: FORMER

INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS,

INCLUDING THREE PREVIOUS

C.I.A. DIRECTORS, HAVE

CREATED A WEBSITE TO

CRITICIZE THE REPORT,

CALLED CIAsaveslives.com

.

LOIS LERNER MADE WITH

OFFICIALS WHILE SHE WAS

STILL WITH THE I.R.S.

THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS

WITHHELD 800 DOCUMENTS.

THE C.I.A.-WATCH SAYS THE

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT CANNOT BE

TRUSTED TO INVESTIGATE

I.R.S. ABUSES BECAUSE THESE

NEW DOCUMENTS DRAMATICALLY

SHOW HOW THE JUSTICE

DEPARTMENT IS UP TO ITS NECK

IN THE SCANDAL.

PAT, NO MINCING WORDS

THERE.

Pat: IT IS AN ABSOLUTE

SHOCK, IT IS A HORROR, TO

THINK THAT THE I.R.S., WHICH

WE HAVE TO TRUST -- THE

I.R.S. HAS POWER TO LOOK

INTO ALL OF YOUR PRIVATE

DOCUMENTS, KNOW EVERYTHING

YOU'RE DOING, AND IF YOU

WITHHOLD THEM, YOU CAN BE

HELD GUILTY OF OBSTRUCTION

OF FEDERAL INQUIRIES AND SO

FORTH.

BUT THE THING IS, LOIS

LERNER LIED, LIED, LIED

REPEATEDLY, AND THEN SHE

INVOKED THE FIFTH.

AND SHE IS GOING TO GET AWAY

WITH IT UNLESS SOMEBODY

HOLDS HER TO ACCOUNT.

BUT THE FACT SHE WAS IN

COLLUSION WITH THE JUSTICE

DEPARTMENT, AND THE JUST

DEPARTMENT IS SUPPOSED TO

PROSECUTE THESE THINGS.

AND THE I.R.S. HAS TEAMED UP

WITH JUSTICE PEOPLE TO

FIGURE OUT WHO THEY CAN

PROSECUTE.

IT WASN'T THAT THEY JUST

WANTED TO DENY TAX

EXEMPTION, THEY WANTED TO

PROSECUTE SOME OF THE TEA

PARTY PEOPLE SO THEY WOULD

BE TOTALLY DISCREDITED.

THAT'S THE WAY THE LIBERALS

DO IT WHEN THEY GET

CONTROL.

BUT WHAT ARE THE REPUBLICANS

GOING TO DO TO EXACT THE

NECESSARY PENALTIES ON THAT

WOMAN?

AND ON THOSE WHO ARE

PARTICIPATING?

AND THE IDEA THEY WOULD

CLAIM EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE OR

CONFIDENTIALITY OVER THOSE

CONTENTS IS NONSENSE.

THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS

SHOULD GET IT.

DARRELL ISSA SEEMS TO BE

DOING A PRETTY GOOD JOB WITH

HIS COMMITTEE, BUT WE CANNOT

ALLOW THIS TO BE SWEPT UNDER

THE RUG.

John: PAT, NO

GOVERNMENT SHOTDOWNS

SHUTDOWNS THIS YEAR.

THE DEMOCRATS AND

REPUBLICANS HAVE AGREED ON A

SPENDING BILL THAT WOULD

DELAY A SHUTDOWN.

THE SHOWDOWN ON ILLEGAL

IMMIGRANTS IS EXPECTED TO

HAPPEN, BUT NOT UNTIL NEXT

YEAR.

THE REPUBLICANS DID MAKE

OTHER IMPORTANT MOVES, LIKE

CUTTING $60 MILLION FROM THE

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY.

THE CONSERVATIVES HAVE

CRITICIZED THE PRESIDENT FOR

USING THE E.P.A. TO CARRY

OUT WHAT THEY CALL A

RADICAL, JOB-KILLING AGENDA

WHICH THEY SAY HURTS THE

ECONOMY.

THE SPENDING BILL IS MORE

THAN 1600 PAGES LONG AND A

VOTE IS EXPECTED TOMORROW.

> SENATE REPUBLICANS ARE

DEBATING WHETHER TO KEEP THE

SO-CALLED NUCLEAR OPTION

WHILE THEY'RE IN CONTROL.

THE DEMOCRATS CHANGED THE

RULES WHILE THEY WERE IN

CONTROL.

AND IT GIVES THE MAJORITY

PARTY IN THE SENATE MUCH

MORE POWER TO APPROVE OR

BLOCK THE PRESIDENT'S

APPROVAL FOR NOMINEES.

WHEN HARRY REID CHANGED THE

RULES, IT LET DEMOCRATS

APPROVE THE PRESIDENT'S

REQUEST FOR JUDGES WHICH,

PAT, HAD A MAJOR IMPACT ON

THE JUDICIARY.

Pat: I WAS AGONIZING

WHEN THE SECONDARY JUDGES

WERE APPEALED OVER AND

OVER.

THERE IS NOTHING IN THE

CONSTITUTION THAT SAYS YOU

HAVE TO HAVE 60 VOTES TO

CONFIRM ANYBODY, AT LEAST IN

TERMS OF JUDICIAL

NOMINATION.

BUT THE DEMOCRATS INSISTED

ON IT AND USE IT

SKILLFULLY.

AND THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE

OUTSTANDING, OUTSTANDING

LAWYERS WERE DENIED

APPOINTMENTS TO THE APPEALS

COURT BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS

KNEW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF

YOU PUT A MAN LIKE HIM INTO

THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

HE WOULD BE A STEPPING STONE

INTO THE SUPREME COURT, AND

HE WOULD BE AN IDEAL

CANDIDATE.

AND THEY KNEW THAT.

SO THEY WANTED TO SHOOT

THOSE GUYS DOWN BEFORE THEY

GOT TO THAT POINT WHERE THEY

WOULD BE CONSIDERED AS

SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.

IT SEEMS LIKE TO ME THE

REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN GIVEN

A GIFT BY THE DEMOCRATS, AND

THEY OUGHT TO SAY THANK YOU

VERY MUCH AND KEEP THE

GIFT.

JOHN?

John: PAT, THE

PHILIPPINES IS RECOVERING

AFTER TYPHOON HAGUPIT RIPPED

THROUGH THE COUNTRY OVER THE

WEEKEND.

AT LEAST 22 PEOPLE WERE

KILLED.

LUCILLE TALUSEN REPORTS ON

HOW CBN DISASTER RELIEF IS

LENDING A HELPING HAND TO

THOSE IN NEED AFTER THE WAKE

THE MONSTER STORM.

Reporter: TYPHOON

HAGUPIT LINGERED THREE DAYS

IN THE PHILIPPINES, LEAVING

AT LEAST 21 PEOPLE DEAD AND

AFFECTING TWO MILLION

PEOPLE.

AREAS THAT WERE RAVAGED BY

TYPHOON HAIYAN LAST YEAR

WERE HIT AGAIN BY HAGUPIT.

BUT BECAUSE CBN STAFF ARE

STILL HELPING TO REBUILD

THIS AREA, THEY WERE ABLE TO

RESPOND QUICKLY TO VICTIMS

OF HAGUPIT.

THEY ARE THE VOLUNTEERS FROM

THE DIFFERENT PARTNERS OF

CBN DISASTER RELIEF, AND

THEY HAVE BEEN HERE EVEN

BEFORE THE STORM, REPACKING

BAGS OF RICE TO BE

DISTRIBUTED TO THE DIFFERENT

AFFECTED AREAS.

EVEN WITHIN 24 HOURS

AFTER THE STORM HIT, WE HAVE

PEOPLE ON THE GROUND,

FEEDING AND GIVING RELIEF

AND DOING MEDICAL MISSIONS.

Reporter: ONE KEY

FACTOR FOR THE LOW INCIDENTS

OF CASUALTIES AND INJURIES

IS THE PREPAREDNESS OF THE

PEOPLE.

WHEREBY CBN DISASTER RELIEF

WAS VERY MUCH A PART OF.

IN ONE COMMUNITY, CBN

DISASTER RELIEF STAFF LED

SOME 200 PEOPLE TO SEEK

REFUGE IN A CAVE.

TYPHOON SURVIVORS ARE

GRATEFUL FOR THE DIFFERENT

CBN DISASTER RELIEF PROJECTS

THAT ARE VERY USEFUL IN THE

AFTERMATH OF THE STORM.

WELLS AND WATER CHLORINATERS

HAVE ALREADY BEEN PUT IN

PLACE.

AND IT PROVIDES CLEAN WATER

FOR THEM.

THE HOUSES FROM CBN

WITHSTOOD THE STRONG WINDS

AND RAINS BROUGHT ABOUT BY

HAGUPIT.

AS MORE AFFECTED AREAS ARE

IDENTIFIED IN THE DAYS

AHEAD, CBN DISASTER RELIEF

WILL CONTINUE TO MEET THE

NEEDS OF THE TYPHOON

SURVIVORS, ESPECIALLY NOW

THAT CHRISTMAS IS JUST A FEW

DAYS AWAY.

LUCILLE TALUSEN, CBN NEWS,

MANILA.

John: PAT, A VERY

GRATEFUL AND RESILL

RESILIENT PEOPLE THERE IN

THE PHILIPPINES.

Pat: THEY'RE WONDERFUL

PEOPLE, AND WE LOVE THEM.

THAT WAS THE FIRST OVERSEAS

COUNTRY WHERE WE BEGAN

BROADCASTING A DAILY SHOW IN

THE PHILIPPINES.

THEY HAVE BEEN OUR FRIENDS

FOR SO MANY YEARS.

IT IS SO NICE THAT

"OPERATION BLESSING" AND CBN

DISASTER RELIEF HAD TEAMS IN

PLACE, READY TO GO, WHEN

THIS HURRICANE WAS IN THE

OFFING.

AND THEY WERE ABLE TO HELP

EVACUATE PEOPLE AND SAVE

THOUSANDS OF LIVES.

IT IS ONE MORE EXAMPLE OF

WHAT CAN BE DONE.

IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING

REALLY NICE THIS CHRISTMAS,

THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING YOU

COULD DO.

IT IS DISASTER RELIEF FUND,

CBN CENTER, VIRGINIA BEACH,

VIRGINIA, 23463.

YOU CAN SIT DOWN AND WRITE A

CHECK AND SAY, I WANT TO

HELP YOU HELP THOSE POOR

PEOPLE.

WELL, WENDY HAS SOME GOOD

STUFF FOR US.

Wendy: I SURE DID.

UP NEXT, THE MAN WHO IS

BRINGING THE GOSPEL TO THE

PLACE KNOWN AS THE DRUG

CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.

THE ONES WHO WANT TO

CONTINUE WITH ALL OF THIS

VIOLENCE ARE HAVING A LOT OF

TROUBLE BECAUSE THERE ARE A

ENOUGH CHRISTIANS WHO ARE

BEING THE SALT IN THE

LIGHT.

WERP

Wendy: HEAR HOW HE IS

INFLUENCING PEOPLE ON ALL

SIDES, NEXT.

.

Pat: WELL, AFTER 50

LONG YEARS, THE BRUTAL

GUERRILLA WARFARE IN

COLOMBIA MAY BE FINALLY

COMING TO AN END.

EVEN BEFORE THE FIGHTING

STOPS, A FEW BRAVE

CHRISTIANS ARE TAKING A

MESSAGE INTO THE HEART OF

THE VIOLENCE BY INTRODUCING

THE WARRIORS TO THE PRINCE

OF PEACE.

HERE IS THAT STORY.

Wendy: IN THE SOUTH

AMERICAN COUNTRY OF

COLOMBIA, FIGHTING CAN ERUPT

AT ANY MOMENT THROUGHOUT

SCATTERED WAR ZONES, BUT

THAT DOESN'T STOP THE

MESSAGE OF PEACE.

THIS IS FROM THE FILM "LA

MONTONJA," OR THE MOUNTAIN.

STINDEL HAS TAKEN THE GOSPEL

TO ALL SIDES OF THE

CONFLICT, AND HE HAS FORCED

FRIENDSHIPS WITH HIS RADIO

STATIONS BY HANDING OUT

140,000 SOLAR-POWERED

RECEIVERS.

TO REACH AREAS WHERE IT

IS NOT POSSIBLE TO HAVE

CHURCH SERVICES OR TO DO

EVANGELISTIC WORK.

SO WE DROP THESE RADIOS BY

PARACHUTES IN GUERRILLA

CAMPS.

Wendy: FORMER

JOURNALIST DARIO SILVA HAS

FOLLOWED THE CONFLICT FOR

YEARS.

HE NOW PASTORS ONE OF

BOGATA'S LARGER CHURCHES.

UNFORTUNATELY, SILVA SEES A

DISCONNECT BETWEEN

COLOMBIA'S CHURCHES AND THE

COUNTRY'S ISOLATED, OFTEN

PERSECUTED, BELIEVERS.

Through Translator:

CHURCHES, ESPECIALLY MEGA

CHURCHES, HAVE A TENDENCY TO

BE AWAY.

I AM RICH, BUT THEY AREú>

NOT AWARE OF THE TROUBLES

THEIR BROTHERS ARE GOING

THROUGH.

Wendy: BUT IT HAS NOT

KEPT THE GOSPEL FROM

REACHING REMOTE COLOMBIA.

IN FACT, HE REMEMBERS A

GUERRILLA LEADER

COMPLAINING.

THOSE CHRISTIANS ARE THE

WORST PROBLEMS WE HAVE.

WE ARRIVE AT A REMOTE PART

OF THE COUNTRY WHERE THERE

IS NO ELECTRICITY OR ROADS

OR A PARISH HOUSE, OR ANY

POLITICAL FIGURE, AND THERE

IS ALWAYS SOME NUT WITH A

BLACK BOOK UNDER HIS ARM

PREACHING ABOUT JESUS.

Wendy: BUT THESE

PREACHERS HAVE SUFFERED

GREATLY AT THE HANDS OF

GUERRILLAS.

AS STAN JETER DISCOVERED.

Reporter: HERE IN THE

MOUNTAINS AND JUNGLES OF

SOUTHWEST COLOMBIA,

GUERRILLA FIGHTERS ARE STILL

DESTROYING CHURCHES, DRIVING

OUT BELIEVERS, AND KILLING

PASTORS.

"OPEN DOORS INTERNATIONAL"

SAYS THAT MORE PASTORS HAVE

BEEN KILLED HERE IN COLOMBIA

THAN ANY OTHER DEMOCRATIC

NATION ON EARTH.

Wendy: YET MANY PASTORS

REMAIN, INCLUDING A FORMER

GUERRILLA LEADER, COMMANDANT

JERONIMO.

WHEN I BECAME A COMMANDER

IN THE STATEF KALKA, ELEASED

ALRELEASED ALL OF THAT

ATHEISM.

THEY WANTED US TO DENY JESUS

CHRIST, TO DENY GOD.

Wendy: AFTER YEARS OF

PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS, HELMA

REALIZED HE HAD FAILED.

THE MORE I PERSECUTE

THEM, THE MORE THEY GROW,

GET STRONGER, AND MULTIPLY.

THEN I SAID, HOW IS THIS?

I'M TRYING TO WIPE THEM OUT

AND THEY GROW MORE.

THEY'RE FRUITFUL AND MAKE A

LOT OF PROGRESS.

THEN I START TO DOUBT.

Wendy: THOSE DOUBTS LED

HELMER TO A PERSONAL

ENCOUNTER WITH THE JESUS HE

WAS PERSECUTED.

TODAY THE BIBLE IS HIS

WEAPON, AND HE URGES PEOPLE

TO FOLLOW CHRIST INSTEAD OF

COMMUNISM.

STENDEL BELIEVES THAT OVER

100,000 FIGHTERS HAVE BECOME

FOLLOWERS OF JESUS, AND THE

CONFLICT COULD BE REACHING A

TIPPING POINT.

THE ONES WHO WANT TO

CONTINUE WITH ALL OF THIS

VIOLENCE ARE HAVING TROUBLE

BECAUSE THERE ARE ENOUGH

CHRISTIANS TO BE THE SALT IN

THE LIGHT.

IT IS AT LEAST 10% CHRISTIAN

IN MOST AREAS.

Wendy: INDIGENOUS

CHRISTIANS ARE ALSO

SPREADING THE GOSPEL.

THIS MAN MANAGES TWO

CHRISTIAN RADIO STATIONS.

AT A RECENT CHRISTIAN MEDIA

CONFERENCE IN CALI, DAGWA

AND OTHERS TALKED ABOUT

REACHING BEYOND THEIR OWN

TRIBES.

IF YOU GO INTO THE VIRGIN

JUNGLE THREE DAYS ON FOOT,

YOU'LL FIND THE TRIBE THAT

HASN'T BEEN CIVILIZED.

SO WE WANT TO REACH OUT

THERE WITH OUR RADIO

STATION, WITH THE WORD OF

GOD, SO THE AGWA TRIBE CAN

INHABIT THE KINGDOM OF

HEAVEN.

Wendy: MEANWHILE,

GOVERNMENT NEGOTIATORS HAVE

BEEN MEETING WITH GUERRILLA

LEADERS IN HAVANA, CUBA.

AND HOPE IS GROWING THAT A

PEACE AGREEMENT WILL SOON

BRING AN END TO COLOMBIA'S

50 YEARS OF VIOLENCE.

REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME,

EVANGELISTS, THROUGH RADIO

AND LITERATURE, STILL SPREAD

PEACE IN THE CONFLICT ZONES,

ONE CHANGED LIFE AT A TIME.

Pat: IT IS AN AMAZING

STORY.

STAN DID THAT AND HE WAS

DOWN THERE.

WE HAD A RADIO STATION IN

BOGATAN, AND I FORMED A

CORPORATION THAT OPERATED

THE RADIO STATION.

WE BOUGHT IT.

AND WE HAD A TREMENDOUS

NUMBER OF PEOPLE AMONG THE

INDIANS WHO HAD NOT BEEN

REACHED BY MUCH OF ANYBODY,

WHO WOULD WALK MILES AND

MILES AND HOUR AFTER HOUR TO

COME TO THE RADIO STATION TO

ASK FOR PRAYER.

COLOMBIA IS A WONDERFUL

COUNTRY.

ALL OF THIS VIOLENCE, IT

JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

Wendy: THE MOST PASTORS

ARE KILLED IN COLOMBIA.

Pat: IT ABSOLUTELY

MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL

BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE ARE SO

DEDICATED TO THE LORD.

BUT THERE WAS SUCH

DESPERATE, DESPERATE POVERTY

DOWN THERE.

AND BOGOTA GREW TO A COUPLE

MILLION PEOPLE.

AND THERE ARE OVER

7.5 MILLION PEOPLE NOW.

THE POPULATION IN THAT CITY

HAS EXPLODED.

DESPERATE POVERTY.

ANYHOW, WE LOVE THE

COLOMBIANS, AND I'M SO

ENCOURAGED TO SEE THIS.

WE'VE BEEN ON THE AIR DOWN

IN COLOMBIA -- WE GAVE THAT

RADIO STATION AWAY, I THINK,

TO THE PANAMERICAN

COMMISSION.

AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THEY'RE

STILL GOING STRONG.

Wendy: COMING UP, A

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION FOR

ALL FIVE SENSES.

CAMILLE STYLES REVEALS HER

ENTERTAINING SECRETS, NEXT.

*

Wendy: WELL, FROM THE

WARMTH OF A FIREPLACE TO THE

SMELL OF HOT COCOA, TO THE

PRISTINE SID SIGHT OF SNOW

FALLING ON THE TREES, THERE

IS NO SEASON QUITE LIKE THE

WINTER THAT CAN EXCITE ALL

FIVE SENSES.

BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO STEP

OUT INTO THE COLD TO ENJOY

THE WINTER AND ALL OF ITS

GLORY.

AND CAMILLE STYLES WILL SHOW

US HOW.

SHE IS THE CREATOR OF A

POPULAR LIFESTYLE BLOG.

AS AN EVENT PLANNER, SHE

SHARES SIMPLE AND EASY PARTY

IDEAS WITH READERS AROUND

THE WORLD.

SHE INSPIRES YOU WITH

HOLIDAY IDEAS FROM HER OWN

GATHERINGS WITH FAMILY AND

FRIENDS.

CAMILLE STYLES IS WITH US

TODAY.

WELCOME.

YOUR FIRST TIME BEING HERE.

THANK YOU.

I'M SO EXCITED TO BE HERE.

Wendy: YOU ASSOCIATE

THE WINTER SEASON WITH

ROMANCE, WHICH SOUNDS REALLY

INTERESTING TO ME.

HOW SO?

MY HUSBAND AND I ACTUALLY

FELL IN LOVE RIGHT AROUND

CHRISTMAS, STARTED DATING.

A YEAR LATER HE PROPOSED TO

ME JUST A FEW DAYS BEFORE

CHRISTMAS.

AND WE FLEW TO ENGLAND -- MY

FIRST TRIP TO ENGLAND --

Wendy: WHAT A CUTIE.

THANK YOU.

AND I MET HIS ENTIRE BRITISH

FAMILY FOR THE FIRST TIME,

WHICH WAS REALLY SPECIAL.

Wendy: HOW DID YOU GET

INTO ENTERTAINING?

AS A CHILD, I WAS

DEFINITELY THE ONE THROWING

TEA PARTIES, AND THAT WENT

INTO MY COLLEGE YEARS.

I WOULD HAVE ALL OF MY

FRIENDS OVER AND MY

ROOMMATES WOULD GATHER

AROUND FOR A HOUSE DINNER.

I RECRUITED MY LITTLE

BROTHER FOR MANY MORE TEA

PARTIES THAN HE PROBABLY

WANTED.

AND AFTER COLLEGE, I GOT A

JOB AT A CATERING COMPANY,

AND REALLY LEARNED THE INs

AND OUTs OF WHAT IT TAKES

TO PRODUCE AN EVENT.

A FEW YEARS LATER I STARTED

MY BLOG.

AND I WANTED TO PLAN REALLY

FUN, STRESSFUL EVENTS, DONE

IN AN APPROACHABLE WAY.

Wendy: YOUR BLOG BECAME

SO POPULAR, IT EVENTUALLY

BECAME A BOOK, IT SORT OF

BIRTHED YOUR LATEST BOOK?

IT DID.

THE BOOK IS DIVIDED BY THE

SEASONS, FALL, WINTER,

SPRING, AND SUMMER.

AND THE GATHERING OF RECIPES

AND SIMPLE WAYS TO MAKE

EVERYDAY MOMENTS MORE

SPECIAL IN EACH OF THOSE

SEASONS.

Wendy: YOU THINK WE

NEED TO CONNECT ALL FIVE OF

OUR SENSES AS WE GO INTO

WINTER.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

I WANT TO INVOKE THE

REALLY SPECIAL FEELINGS OF

EACH SEASON WHEN THEY

ARRIVE.

THE SMELLS -- THINK ABOUT

THE WINTER, THERE IS

CINNAMON COMING FROM THE

OVEN AND A FIRE IN THE

FIREPLACE.

ALL OF THOSE SMELLS MAKE YOU

FEEL SO CHRISTMASY AND READY

FOR THE FIREPLACE.

Wendy: EVERYBODY HAS A

GAS FIREPLACE, INCLUDING ME,

BUT THERE IS NOTHING LIKE

THE FIRE FROM REAL LOGS AND

THE CRACKLING.

WE HAVE SOME CRESTINIS,

WHICH YOU SAY IS A FANCY

WORD FOR,.

> FOR...

IT'S GRILLED BREAD WITH

TOPPINGS.

WE'RE GOING TO START OUT

WITH THE ZUCCHINI AND MINT

CRESTINI.

AND FEEL FREE TO MIX THEM UP

AND USE WHATEVER TOPPINGS

YOU HAVE ON HAND OR THAT YOU

LOVE.

THEY ALL START WITH THE SAME

GRILLED BREAD FOUNDATION.

HERE IS HOW TO MAKE THE

GRILLED BREAD: YOU'RE GOING

TO TAKE A FRENCH BAGUETTE OR

COUNTRY BREAD, SOMETHING

WITHOUT TOO MANY HOLES IN IT

BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT THE

TOPPINGS FALLING THROUGH.

YOU'RE GOING TO PRE-HEAT A

PAN TO HIGH HEAT.

YOU'RE GOING TO BRUSH EACH

SIDE OF YOUR BREAD SLICE

WITH OLIVE OIL.

AND TOAST IT FOR A FEW

MINUTES.

THAT'S YOUR FOUNDATION, AND

THEN YOU CAN JUST START

ADDING YOUR TOPPINGS.

FOR YOUR ZUCCHINI AND MINT,

YOU USE THE VEGETABLE

PEELER.

IT IS PRETTY SIMPLE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK OF ZUK

ZUCCHINI AS SOMETHING THEY

ONLY HAVE COOKED.

BUT IT IS ACTUALLY REALLY,

REALLY DELICIOUS WHEN IT IS

RAW, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS

SLICED REALLY THINLY.

Wendy: THESE SLICES ARE

COMING OUT NICE AND FAT, AND

MINE ARE COMING OUT

WIMPY --

MAYBE YOU NEED MORE

PRESSURE.

AND YOU ONLY NEED A FEW.

SO KIND OF PILE THOSE ON TOP

OF YOUR TOAST.

Wendy: THAT ONE TAKES

UP THE WHOLE BREADMENT.

> BREAD.

RIGHT.

IT IS REALLY PRETTY AND IT

IS HEALTHY.

AND YOU CAN FIND ZUCCHINI

ALL YEAR-ROUND.

AND YOU TAKE SOME OF THESE

THICK PARMESAN SLICES, AND

YOU CAN TEAR OFF A PIECE AND

PUT A FEW OF THESE CHARDS ON

TOP.

THAT ADDS A REALLY NICE

SALSA FLAVOR, TOO.

AND WE'RE GOING TO DO A FEW

SLIVERED ALMONDS.

Wendy: THIS IS SO

HEALTHY.

AND THIS IS GREAT FOR

SOMEONE WHO FEELS THEY'RE

NOT THE BEST COOK IN THE

WORLD.

THIS IS REALLY ASSEMBLING

INGREDIENTS.

Wendy: SO IF YOU FEAR

THE WORD "COOKING," THIS IS

ASSEMBLING.

EXACTLY.

AND THEN A SLICE OF

LEMON --

Wendy: LEMON MAKES

EVERYTHING BETTER, I THINK.

IT IS A WONDERFUL

COMPLEMENT FOR OUR

ZUCCHINI.

AND THEN FOR OUR FINAL BURST

OF FLAVOR AND COLOR.

Wendy: THIS IS GOING TO

BE AWESOME.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY THIS

LATER, MAYBE.

THIS IS THE MINT AND

ZUCCHINI ONE.

PRETTY SIMPLE.

AND MOVING OVER HERE --

THIS IS OUR PEPPER AND

OLIVES.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

ABOUT THIS ONE, BESIDES IT

IS DELICIOUS, BUT IT IS MADE

USING ONLY THREE STORE-BOUT

BOUGHT INGREDIENTS.

Wendy: IF YOUR GUESTS

ARE GOING TO BE THERE IN 30

MINUTES, YOU CAN STILL RUN

TO THE GROCERY STORE AND GET

THE INGREDIENTS.

EXACTLY.

WHEN I'M HOSTING A PARTLY OF

ANY KIND, SO OFTEN YOU'RE

GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE

AND LIGHTING CANDLES, AND

THE LAST THING YOU CAN DO IS

THINK ABOUT APPETIZERS.

Wendy: AND I STILL HAVE

CURLERS IN MY HAIR WHEN THE

GUESTS ARE AT THE DOOR --

EXACTLY.

AND THESE ARE ROASTED RED

PEPPERS, AND THIS IS

WONDERFUL AND SALTY.

I LOVE TO KEEP A JAR OF THIS

ON HAND.

YOU CAN PUT IT ON TOP OF

GRILLED MEAT OR FISH --

Wendy: BECAUSE IT

ALREADY HAS OLIVE OIL IN

IT?

EXACTLY.

AND IT IS SALTY.

YOU DON'T NEED TO ADD

ANYMORE SALT.

AND THESE ARE PINE NUTS.

AND YOU CAN SPRINKLE THOSE

ON.

AND THEN THE ROASTED

PEPPERS.

Wendy: I WILL HELP

YOU.

AND, AGAIN, IT IS REALLY

BEAUTIFUL COLOR.

COINCIDENTALLY, IT IS RED

AND GREEN, PERFECT FOR THE

HOLIDAYS.

Wendy: OKAY, THAT LOOKS

D'LISH.

WE HAVE TIME FOR ONE MORE.

THIS HAS A LOT MORE

INGREDIENTS.

YES.

BUT IT IS ACTUALLY SUPER

SIMPLE.

I'M GOING TO MASH UP THE

WHITE BEANS.

YOU CAN COOK THEM OR GET

THEM FROM A CAN AND JUST

RINSE AND DRAIN THEM.

YOU'RE GOING TO ADD JUST A

LITTLE BIT OF MINCED

GARLIC.

Wendy: I LOVE GARLIC.

GARLIC MAKES EVERYTHING

BETTER.

A SQUEEZE OF LEMON

JUICE.

Wendy: IF YOU'RE NOT

GOING TO BE UNDER THE

MISTLETOE LATER.

AND THEN SOME SALT.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO MASH

THAT ALL TOGETHER INTO A

PASTE.

AND HERE I HAVE SOME THAT IS

ALREADY MASHED UP.

Wendy: AND THIS IS

ALMOST LIKE A MINI MEAL IF

YOUR GUESTS ARE STARVING

WHEN THEY WALK IN.

EXACTLY.

THIS IS A LITTLE HEARTIER,

WHICH WILL STAVE OFF YOUR

GUESTS IF YOUR STILL WORKING

ON DINNER.

Wendy: AND YOU CAN JUST

GET THESE IN A CAN?

EXACTLY.

RINSE THEM AND DRAIN THEM

AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

Wendy: THEY'RE ALREADY

COOKED.

AND TAKE A FEW OF THE

THINLY SLICED RADISHES AND I

LIKE TO OVERLAP THEM IN A

DESIGN.

SO SIMPLE, BUT THE

PRESENTATION IS REALLY

BEAUTIFUL.

Wendy: AND WHAT IS

NEXT?

A SPRINKLE OF PARSLEY.

Wendy: RED AND GREEN

AGAIN.

AND THAT IS IT.

AGAIN, THREE INGREDIENTS,

FIVE MINUTES AND YOUR DONE.

Wendy: PERFECT.

AND YOU'VE GOT THESE AND YOU

CAN SERVE THIS TO YOUR

GUESTS, ALL THREE --

AND IT MAKES THE GUESTS

FEEL SO WELCOME AND

WELL-FED.

Wendy: WHICH ONE ARE

YOU GOING TO TRY?

I'M GOING TO GO FOR THE

WHITE BEAN AND RADISH.

THANK YOU.

Wendy: I'M NOT GOING TO

MESS UP MY LIPSTICK, SO I'M

GOING TO HAVE ONE AFTER THE

SHOW.

REMEMBER, YOU CAN GET DESIGN

TIPS FOR CHRISTMAS AND ALL

YEAR AROUND BY GETTING A

COPY OF THE BOOK, CALLED

"CAMILLE STYLES'

ENTERTAINING."

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING

WITH US.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR HAVING

ME.

IT WAS A BLAST.

Wendy: STILL TO COME,

TIME FOR YOUR E-MAIL

QUESTIONS.

HAYLEY SAID, I RECENTLY READ

THAT WOMEN SHOULD KEEP THEIR

HAIR COVERED.

MY MOM SAID THAT'S NOT TRUE,

BUT I'VE READ OTHERWISE.

WHAT'S REALLY TRUE?

WE'LL "BRING IT ON" WITH

PAT'S RESPONSE TO THAT AND

MUCH MORE.

STAY TUNED.

OF

WELCOME BACK TO WASH

WASHINGTON FOR THIS CBN

NEWSBREAK.

MORE RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS

CONTROL MANDATE IN

OBAMACARE.

A GROUP OF FAITH-BASED

NON-PROFITS TOLD THE TENTH

CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS

THEY SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE

HOUSES OF WORSHIP AND

SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FILE

PAPERS.

FORMER MISS AMERICA AND

ACTRESS MARIANNE MOBLEY DIED

FROM CANCER.

SHE ALSO CO-STARRED IN

MOVIES WITH ELVIS PRESLEY

AND JERRY LEWIS.

SHE OFTEN TALKED ABOUT HER

CHRISTIAN FAITH WHILE IN

MISSISSIPPI.

THE CLARION NEWSPAPER

REPORTS SHE WORE A MUSTARD

TO WHERE JESUS TALKS ABOUT

THE POWER OF FAITH EVEN AS

SMALL AS A MUSTARD SEED.

SHE WAS 77 YEARS OLD.

YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE

LATEST FROM CBN NEWS BY

GOING TO OUR WEBSITE AT

CBNNEWS.COM.

PAT AND WENDY WILL BE BACK

WITH MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB"

RIGHT AFTER THIS.

Pat: WELL, MORE THAN 40

YEARS AFTER THAT TRAGEDY

CALLED THE VIETNAM WAR,

THOUSANDS OF UNEXPLODED

LANDMINES ARE STILL HIDDEN

IN THE NATION OF LAOS.

EVERY WEEK THEY CLAIM AN

AVERAGE OF FOUR NEW

VICTIMS.

LIKE THIS ELDERLY WIDOW WHO

STRUGGLED TO EARN A LIVING.

Reporter: LANDMINES

HAVE CAUSED CRATERS,

INJURIES, AND HARDSHIP IN

THIS VILLAGE IN LAOS IN

SOUTHEAST ASIA.

I WAS OUT PLANTING CORN

WHEN A LANDMINE EXPLODED

NEARBY.

IT STRUCK ME IN MY LOWER

BACK.

Reporter: THE SITUATION

GOT WORSE.

TAMPU BECAME A WIDOW FIVE

YEARS AGO.

WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE MONEY

FOR WATER OR FOOD, I WOULD

GATHER WILD PLANTS TO COOK

OR BEG FOR A LITTLE FROM OUR

NEIGHBORS.

MY SON ALSO TRIED TO CATCH

BUGS IN THE BUSHES.

Reporter: TAMPU ALSO

CARES FOR HER 21-YEAR-OLD

SON WHO HAS SPECIAL NEEDS.

THEY WERE BARELY SURVIVING

WHEN A STORM DESTROYED THE

ROOF ON THEIR BAMBOO HOME.

MY NEIGHBORS VOLUNTEERED

TO FIX OUR ROOF AND

COLLECTED SOME MONEY FOR

MATERIALS, BUT IT WASN'T

ENOUGH.

Reporter: WHEN CBN

LEARNED ABOUT TAMPU AND HER

SON, WE BOUGHT NEW SHEETS TO

REPLACE THE ROOF ON THEIR

HOME.

I'M SO HAPPY THAT OUR

ROOF HAS BEEN RELEASED WITH

BETTER MATERIALS.

Reporter: THEN WE GAVE

HER SOME PIGS TO START A

SMALL LIVESTOCK BUSINESS.

A FEW MONTHS LATER, TAMPU'S

SAU GAVE BIRTH.

THANKS TO HER NEW BUSINESS,

THEY WOULDN' WON'T HAVE TO

FACE HUNGER AGAIN.

I'M SO HAPPY THAT CBN

CAME TO OUR VILLAGE.

THEY HELPED US HAVE FOOD TO

EAT AND A ROOF OVER OUR

HEAD.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Pat: ISN'T IT AMAZING.

YOU KNOW, FOLKS, IT IS

CHRISTMASTIME, AND WE'RE

GOING TO HAVE LOTS AND LOTS

OF FOOD.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE

BEAUTIFUL PRESENTS.

THE STORES ARE CHOCKED FULL

OF PRESENTS.

YOU SEE ALL KINDS OF

GLITTERY THINGS ON

TELEVISION.

AND PEOPLE ARE BUYING

SEVERAL -- WHAT IS IT, A

TRILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF

STUFF ON THE INTERNET.

I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT

NUMBERS, BUT IT IS A HUGE

AMOUNT THAT AMERICANS ARE

BUYING ON THE INTERNET AND

BY DIRECT MAIL AND SO

FORTH.

AND WE HAVE SO MUCH.

AND YET THAT WOMAN, THE FACT

THAT SHE NEEDED A COUPLE OF

PIGS AND SOME TIN SHEETS TO

COVER HER ROOF, AND THAT

BROUGHT HER HAPPINESS.

AND YOU CAN BRING HAPPINESS

TO PEOPLE.

I JUST THINK THAT THIS

CHRISTMAS, NOW IS THE TIME

TO GET YOUR CHECKBOOK OUT

AND WRITE SOME CHECKS.

I'VE DONE IT, AND I TELL YOU

TO DO WHAT I'VE DONE.

I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT

WE HELP PEOPLE.

AND THEN YOU FEEL A WHOLE

LOT BETTER WHEN YOU SIT DOWN

TO A BIG TURKEY OR WHATEVER

YOU HAVE TOR CHRISTMAS.

AND YOU EAT A NICE MEAL AND

YOU'RE SURROUNDED BY FAMILY

AND FRIENDS AND YOU'VE GOT

PRESENTS AND ALL OF THIS

STUFF.

YOU FEEL A WHOLE LOT BETTER

THINKING THAT YOU'VE HELPED

SOMEBODY ELSE.

ALL I CAN SAY IS GO TO YOUR

TELEPHONES AND CALL IN, OR

LOG ON TO cbn.com AND SAY,

YOU CAN COUNT ON ME AT THIS

PARTICULAR SEASON TO HELP

THOSE IN NEED.

OKAY.

IT'S TIME FOR QUESTIONS.

Wendy: IT SURE IS.

AND HAYLEY WRITES IN AN

INTERESTING QUESTION.

SHE SAYS, "I RECENTLY READ

IN THE BIBLE THAT WOMEN

SHOULD KEEP THEIR HAIR

COVERED OR HAVE IT BE CUT TO

STUBBLE.

I ASKED MY MOTHER ABOUT THIS

AND SHE SAID IT WAS JUST THE

CULTURE BACK THEN.

WHEN I GOOGLED IT, IT SAID

OTHERWISE.

SHOULD I BE COMING BEFORE

THE LORD WITH MY HEAD

COVERED?

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS."

Pat: I HAVE NEVER SEEN

THIS IS IN THE BIBLE, COMING

TO THE LORD WITH A HEAD

SHAVED.

UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN TAKEN AS

A CAPTIVE WIFE.

BUT IF YOUR NOT A CAPTIVE

WOMAN, I DON'T THINK THAT

APPLIES.

I BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE.

I BELIEVE IN THE INSPIRATION

OF THE WORD OF GOD.

BUT PAUL SAYS WOMEN SHOULD

BE COVERED, YOU KNOW, WHEN

THEY PRAY IN DEFERENCE WITH

THE ANGELS.

SO THE THOUGHT WAS WHEN THE

WOMAN GOES UP INTO THE

HEAVENLY PLACES OF PRAYER,

THAT SOMEHOW HER BEAUTY WILL

ENTICE ANGELS.

THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS.

I DIDN'T WRITE IT.

BUT WAS THAT TRUTH?

I MEAN, IT'S IN THE BIBLE.

SO YOU SEE, ESPECIALLY THE

CATHOLIC CHURCH, WOMEN HAVE

THOSE TINY THINGS THEY PUT

ON THEIR HEADS WHEN THEY GO

TO CHURCH AND IT IS KIND OF

NICE.

THE IDEA IS IT IS A SIGN OF

SUBMISSION.

THEREFORE THE ANGELS CAN'T

GET AT ME.

Wendy: AND THERE IS

THAT OTHER SCRIPTURE THAT

TALKS ABOUT THE WOMAN'S HAIR

BEING HER CROWN OF GLORY.

Pat: OF COURSE.

AND THEN YOU'VE GOT LADY

GODIVA WHO RODE NAKED

THROUGH THE TOWN.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT ELSE?

Wendy: MEG WRITES

IN, "I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING

WITH DEPRESSION MY ENTIRE 18

YEARS OF LIFE, EVEN BEFORE I

REALIZED WHAT IT WAS.

I KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP.

LATELY I'VE BEEN FALLING

BACK INTO THE DARK PIT I'VE

TRIED SO HARD TO PULL MYSELF

OUT OF.

I FEEL MY FAITH WAIVER EVERY

TIME I FEEL THE DARKNESS

PULLING ON ME.

WHAT CAN I DO TO BRING MY

FAITH BACK AND MAKE IT

STRONGER IN MY LIFE AGAIN?"

Pat: LISTEN, DEPRESSION

IS FOR REAL.

WINSTON CHURCHILL TALKED

ABOUT THE BLACK DOG THAT

CAME AFTER HIM AT TIMES.

IT IS PHYSIOLOGICAL, AND IT

HAS TO BE DEALT WITH AS

PHYSIOLOGICAL.

IT ISN'T JUST SOMETHING IN

YOUR HEAD.

BUT THERE ARE WAYS TO COMBAT

IT.

NUMBER ONE, ESPECIALLY A

DIET THAT HAS FRESH FRUITS

AND VEGETABLES, VERY

IMPORTANT, AND ESSENTIAL

PROTEIN.

THE SECOND THING IS A LOT OF

EXERCISE.

VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

YOU CAN'T STAY IN A DARK

ROOM BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE

IN A DARK ROOM.

BUT YOU CAN'T DO IT.

YOU'VE GOT TO GET MELATONIN

GOING.

I RECOMMEND TAKING MELATONIN

PILLS TO HELP YOU SLEEP.

THE SEROTONIN MAKES YOU

HAPPY, AND SUNLIGHT DOES

THAT, BUT THE MELATONIN

WORKS AS WELL.

LISTEN, THE OTHER THING IS

YOU MAY NEED PRAYER TO BE

SET FREE FROM THOSE THINGS.

IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS

YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH

EVERYTHING, ALL OF THE TOOLS

AVAILABLE TO YOU.

GOD WANTS TO SET YOU FREE,

BUT IT ISN'T JUST SOMETHING

IN YOUR HEAD OR SOME

SUPERSTITION.

DEPRESSION IS REAL, ALL

RIGHT.

Wendy: WILLIAM WRITES

IN, "WHAT DOES IT MEAN GOD

WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS,

HIS WONDERS TO PERFORM?

DOES THAT MEAN GOD ANSWERS

YOUR PRAYERS MYSTERIOUSLY?"

Pat: NO.

IT MEANS GOD IS IN THE WORLD

WORKING MIRACLES, BUT YOU

DON'T NECESSARILY SEE IT.

SOMETIMES GOD WILL DO

SOMETHING IN A COUNTRY, AND

HE IS WAY AHEAD OF YOU.

AND YOU SAY, SOMETHING IS

GOING ON.

WELL, IT IS GOD AT WORK.

WE'VE GOT TO TRUST THE FACT

THERE IS A GOD IN HEAVEN AND

HE DOES GREAT WONDERS.

BUT THAT'S THE IDEA, IT IS

MYSTERIOUS.

YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR FINGER ON

IT AND SAY, GOD DID THAT

RIGHT HERE, OR I HEARD A

BELL RING OR I SAW A LIGHT.

IT'S MYSTERIOUS, IT IS

QUIET, BUT IT IS THE POWER

OF GOD.

HE WORKS WHILE YOUR ASLEEP,

HE WORKS WHILE YOU'RE AWAKE,

HE WORKS ALL OF THE TIME.

GOD IS AT WORK ALL OF THE

TIME.

Wendy: ALL RIGHT,

THAT'S IT.

GOOD JOB.

AS ALWAYS, WE APPRECIATE IT,

PAT.

WELL, STILL AHEAD, THE COLD

THAT JUST WOULDN'T QUIT.

IT REACHED A PLACE WHERE

IT SEEMED LIKE I WOULD TAKE

A DEEP BREATH AND I WOULD

HEARING WHISTLING.

Wendy: FIND OUT WHAT

BROUGHT HER RELIEF, NEXT.

Wendy: WELL, IT IS

CHRISTMASTIME, AND YOU MIGHT

HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED YOUR

CHRISTMAS CLING OR STICKER

IN THE MAIL.

IT SAYS MERRY CHRISTMAS,

THAT YOU CAN PUT RIGHT ON

YOUR WINDOW SO THE POSTMAN

SEES IT OR YOUR NEIGHBORS

SEE IT, OR YOU PUT IT IN

YOUR CAR.

AND IT WILL COME OFF PRETTY

EASILY RIGHT AFTER

CHRISTMAS.

IT IS A GREAT WAY TO GET IN

THE MOOD AND THE SPIRIT OF

CHRISTMAS.

WE CAN ALL DO SOMETHING TO

PUT MERRY CHRISTMAS BACK IN

EVERYBODY'S HEARTS AND

MOUTHS RIGHT NOW.

Pat: AMEN.

Wendy: AND NOW WE'RE

GOING TO PRAY FOR PEOPLE.

Pat: AND BEFORE WE DO,

I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS

STORY.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD A COUGH

THAT JUST WOULDN'T GO AWAY?

IT GOES ON AND ON AND ON.

WELL.

JOIS HAJOYCE HAD ONE AND IT

LASTED FOR YEARS.

NOTHING SHE DID HELP, SO SHE

KEPT ON PRAYING AND WATCHING

A TV SHOW CALLED "THE 700

CLUB."

HERE IS HER STORY.

I DEVELOPED A BAD COLD,

AND I HAD A LOT OF

CONGESTION IN MY CHEST.

JOYCE THOUGHT HER

PERSISTENT COUGH WAS THE

SYMPTOM OF AN ORDINARY COLD,

BUT IT WASN'T.

IT REACHED THE PLACE

WHERE I WOULD TAKE A DEEP

BREATH AND I

WOULD HEAR

WHISTLING.

Reporter: JOYCE PRAYED

FOR THE SYMPTOMS TO GO AWAY,

BUT OVER TIME THE COUGHING

AND WHISTLING IN HER CHEST

GOT WORSE.

WELL, I DIDN'T GET GOOD

REST, YOU KNOW, AND THAT WAS

DIFFICULT.

I WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.

I WANTED TO LAY DOWN.

Reporter: AS THE DAYS

TURNED INTO MONTHS, THERE

WAS NO CHANGE IN JOYCE'S

CONDITION, AND YET SHE

CONTINUED TO PRAY FOR

HEALING.

I KNEW THAT BY THE

STRIPES OF JESUS I WAS

HEALED, AND THAT HEALING

WOULD MAN TEST.

WOULD MANIFEST.

AND I KEPT WAITING ON THE

LORD FOR THIS.

Reporter: THEN TWO

YEARS AFTER NOTICING THE

FIRST SYMPTOMS, JOYCE WAS

WATCHING "THE 700 CLUB."

AND TERRY BEGAN PRAYING FOR

HER.

Terry: THERE IS A WOMAN

NAMED JOYCE, AND YOU'RE

WATCHING THIS AND YOU HAD A

CHRONIC CONDITION FOR A

LONG, LONG TIME.

I HAD THIS KNOWING.

I KNEW IT WAS ME.

AND I JUMPED UP AND I WAS

ABLE TO BREATHE CLEARLY.

I THINK IT WAS THE DEEPEST

BREATH I EVER TOOK.

I WAS SO OVERJOYED.

Reporter: SHE SAYS HER

SYMPTOMS RETURNED ONCE BUT

SHE DIDN'T DOUBT GOD'S

HEALING.

AND THEN THE SYMPTOMS

LEFT.

AND I KNEW THAT THE LORD WAS

A HEALER.

I THINK IT WOULD BE

IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP FOLLOWING

THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHOUT

COMING TO KNOW HIM LIKE

THAT.

Reporter: JOYCE SAYS

THE SYMPTOMS HAVE NOT

RETURNED.

SHE KNOWS GOD LOVES HER AND

HEALED HER THAT DAY.

HE WAS SO GRACIOUS TO

ME.

HE WAS RIGHT THERE, ALWAYS,

READY TO DO THIS.

IT WAS SO CLEAR TO ME THAT

HE WANTED TO HEAL ME.

Pat: SHE'S GOT IT.

HE WANTS TO HEAL YOU!

I WOULD THAT YOU WOULD

PROSPER AND BE HEALTHY AS

YOUR SOUL PROSPERS.

OKAY.

Wendy: JASON OF

PORTLAND, OREGON, WRITES

THAT HE DEVELOPED IN-GROWN

TOENAILS, AND HE WAS VERY

SENSITIVE TO PAIN.

HE HAD ONE TOENAIL

SURGICALLY REMOVED.

NO MATTER WHAT HE DID, THE

PROBLEM PERSISTED FOR EIGHT

LONG YEARS.

THEN ONE DAY, WATCHING "THE

700 CLUB," JASON HEARD YOU,

PAT, GIVE A WORD OF

KNOWLEDGE, SAYING "THERE IS

AN INFECTED TOE.

THE INFECTION IS LEAVING,

AND THE SWELLING IS GOING

DOWN."

JASON CLAIMED THE WORD, AND

ALL OF THE PAIN AND

INFECTION LEFT AND NEVER

CAME BACK.

PRAISE GOD.

Pat: IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD

THAT PROBLEM, IT SOUNDS

EASY, BUT IT IS HORRIBLE.

HERE IS ONE, HER NAME IS

BRENDA.

AND HE LIVES IN MOUNT

STERLING, KENTUCKY.

SHE SUFFERED WITH

OSTEOARTHRITIS.

SHE HAS WALKED WITH A CANE

OR WALKER FOR FOUR YEARS.

EVEN AFTER A KNEE

REPLACEMENT, SHE STILL HAS

PAIN.

ONE DAY SHE WAS WATCHING

THIS PROGRAM, AND THE NEXT

DAY SHE AWOKE WITH NO

DISCOMFORT.

THE WALKER, THE CANE, AND

THE PAIN ARE ALL GONE, IN

MOUNT STERLING, KENTUCKY.

WE'RE GOING TO JOIN HANDS

AND WE'RE GOING TO PRAY

TOGETHER.

FOLKS, IT IS CLOSE TO

CHRISTMAS.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW THERE WAS

NOT ONE PERSON WHOEVER CAME

TO JESUS CHRIST WHO ASKED

FOR HEALING THAT WAS TURNED

AWAY.

NOT ONE.

HE PUSHED SOME OF THEM A

LITTLE BIT TO TEST THEIR

FAITH, BUT THEY WERE ALL

HEALED.

WE'RE GOING TO JOIN AND

WE'RE GOING TO BELIEVE GOD.

FATHER, I BELIEVE GOD IN THE

NAME OF JESUS.

WE PRAY FOR PEOPLE RIGHT

NOW.

AGAIN, SOMEBODY HAS GOT A

DEEP-SEATED COUGH.

THIS IS A FUNGUS.

GOD IS TAKING THAT FUNGUS

AWAY.

AND CAUTION YOU THESE FUNG

GUS FUNGUSES ARE CAUSED BY

BIRDS, AND GOD IS SETTING

YOU FREE.

Wendy: THERE IS

SOMEBODY WITH SEVERE

DEPRESSION, AND GOD IS

LIFTING THAT DARK CLOUD OFF

RIGHT NOW.

THANK GOD IN JESUS' NAME.

Pat: SOMEBODY HAS

SOMETHING IN THEIR FOOT.

YOU MAY HAVE STEPPED ON A

NAIL OR A PIECE OF GLASS,

BUT WHAT IT IS, THERE IS AN

INFECTION THERE.

THAT INFECTED AREA BURST

OPEN AND THAT INFECTED STUFF

JUST CAME OUT OF YOUR FOOT

AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE

HEALED IN THE NAME OF

JESUS.

Wendy: THERE IS MEMBER

WITH A REALLY SEVERE

HEADACHE -- I DON'T KNOW IF

IT IS A MIGRAINE -- BUT

YOU'RE HOLDING YOUR HEAD AND

YOUR NAUSEOUS, AND GOD IS

TOUCHING YOU RIGHT NOW.

GOD HAS JUST HEALED YOU IN

JESUS' NAME.

Pat: BACK PAIN.

GOD BLESS YOU, YOU'VE HAD

SCOLIOSIS FOR YEARS, AND

RIGHT NOW THAT BACK IS --

YOU'LL HEAR IT POPPING AND

CRACKING, AND YOUR BACK IS

STRAIGHTENING OUT, AND YOU

CAN STAND UP ERECT AND WALK

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN

YEARS.

IN JESUS' NAME.

LORD, TOUCH OTHERS IN THIS

AUDIENCE.

BRING BLESSING TO THEM AND

HEAL THEM IN JESUS' NAME.

AMEN.

AND AMEN.

Wendy: AMEN.

Pat: BY THE WAY, IF YOU

HAVE AN ANSWER, PLEASE CALL

US AND LET US HEAR ABOUT

IT.

IF YOU NEED MORE PRAYER,

WE'RE HERE ALL OF THE TIME.

1-800-759-0700.

HERE IS TODAY'S POWER MINUTE

TAKEN FROM THE BOOK OF

PROVERBS 25: "A FAITHFUL MAN

WILL ABOUND WITH BLESSINGS.

HE WHO TRUSTS IN THE LORD

WILL BE PROSPERED."

AMEN.

WELL, TOMORROW DAVID BRODY

SITS DOWN WITH A WORLD

FAMOUS NEUROSURGEON, OUR

DEAR FRIEND, BEN CARSON.

TODAY WE LEAVE YOU WITH THE

ANNIE MOSES BAND PERFORMING

A CHRISTMAS FAVORITE, "WHAT

CHILD IS THIS?"
