When Aaron’s daughter caused him to question his life choices and business of owning a strip club, he found a way to redeem his ways. Plus, Larrie suffered from painful throat lesions until a prayer on television confirmed a healing.

Wendy: LOWER YOUR
CHOLESTEROL, LOWER YOUR RISK
OF HEART DISEASE, RIGHT?
WRONG.
HEAR WHY YOU MAY BE DOING
YOUR BODY MORE HARM THAN
GOOD.
> PLUS A STRIP CLUB
OWNER --
THIS IS WHERE YOU WOULD
WALK DOWN.
THE STAGES WERE HERE.
Wendy: ...STARTS HAVING
SECOND THOUGHTS.
I KNEW IT WAS BAD.
I KNEW IT WAS WRONG.
Wendy: ON TODAY'S "700
CLUB."
*
Pat: WELCOME, LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN, TO THIS
EDITION OF "THE 700 CLUB."
ALL AROUND THE WORLD STRANGE
THINGS ARE HAPPENING, AND I
KNOW THAT WE'VE GOT
PROBLEMS.
WE HAVE SOME WEATHER STUFF
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, A FEW DAYS
AGO, THERE WAS A GRUESOME,
GRISLY, HORRIBLE BEHEADING
OF 21 PEOPLE.
THE THING OF IT WAS IS THEY
WERE ALL COPTIC CHRISTIANS.
AND THEY WERE BEHEADED
BECAUSE THEY WERE
CHRISTIANS.
WHAT DOES OUR PRESIDENT
SAY?
WELL, SOME LIBYAN CIVILIANS
WERE KILLED BY ISIS.
LIBYAN CIVILIANS.
THERE WAS A SHOOTING IN A
KOSHER DELICATESSEN IN THE
JEWISH QUARTER IN PARIS, AND
OUR PRESIDENT SAID SOME
FOLKS WERE STANDING BY AND
THEY GOT SHOT.
SOME FOLKS, SOME CIVILIANS.
THEY WERE JEWS AND THEY WERE
CHRISTIANS.
BUT OUR PRESIDENT WON'T SAY
IT AND HE REFUSES TO CALL
THE ISLAMIC STATE ISLAM.
HE WON'T MENTION IT.
HE WILL NOT SAY THEY'RE
ISLAMISTS.
WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM, A
SERIOUS PROBLEM, IN
WASHINGTON, AND THAT'S WHY
WE'RE NOT ABLE TO FIGHT THIS
THING.
IT IS A CANCER THAT IS GOING
THAT IS GROWING AS RAPIDLY
AS CAN BE.
AND EVEN THE ITALIANS ARE
SAYING THEY HAVE NOW TAKEN
OVER LIBYA, AND THEY'VE
IMPERILED EUROPE.
WE'LL SEE MORE ABOUT THAT.
> ANYHOW, CLOSER TO HOME,
IT HAS BEEN COLD, I MEAN
COLD.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
THERE IS A BLOCKING IN THE
BEARING SEA BETWEEN RUSSIA
AND ALASKA.
A WEATHER BLOCK.
AND THAT'S FORCING ALL THAT
COLD AIR OUT OF THE ARCTIC
TO COME EAST.
AND SOUTH.
SO WE'RE IN FOR SOME MORE OF
IT.
IT ISN'T FINISHED YET,
BOSTON, I'M SORRY.
IT IS CALLED "THE DEEP
FREEZE."
TEMPERATURES BELOW ZERO IN
THE NORTHEAST, AND SOME OF
THE RECORD TEMPERATURES
AROUND THE COUNTRY.
IT IS THE COLDEST DAY YET,
AND A BRUTAL WINTER.
AND MORE IS COMING.
Terry: THAT'S RIGHT,
AND IT IS NOT JUST THE
NORTHEAST.
NOW THE SOUTH IS GETTING
BLASTED WITH SNOW, TOO.
DALE HURD HAS THE STORY.
Reporter: AND NOW IT'S
THE SOUTH'S TURN.
AFTER WEEKS OF SNOW IN THE
NORTHEAST, A MID-FEBRUARY
STORM BLASTED THROUGH THE
SOUTH AND THE MID-ATLANTIC.
UP TO NOW, THE SOUTH WAS
LARGELY SPARED THE WORST OF
THIS FEROCIOUS WINTER, BUT
NO MORE.
AS MANY AS 90 MILLION
AMERICANS IN 20 STATES ARE
AFFECTED.
A DANGEROUS MIX OF SLEET AND
FREEZING RAIN ACROSS THE
SOUTH AND MID-ATLANTIC MADE
ROADS EXTREMELY TREACHEROUS,
AND KNOCKED OUT POWER TO
THOUSANDS.
RESIDENTS ACROSS THE REGION
STOCKED UP AT SUPERMARKETS.
IT IS A MADHOUSE.
Reporter: IN
PHILADELPHIA, ARCTIC
TEMPERATURES MADE
FIREFIGHTING MORE DANGEROUS
AS BUILDINGS RISKED COLLAPSE
FROM THE WEIGHT OF WATER.
BUILDINGS ARE HAVING TO BE
EVACUATED BECAUSE OF THE
WEIGHT OF SNOW AND THE
THREAT OF ROOF COLLAPSE.
BEAMS STARTED TO
CROSS-COLLAPSE AND SPLIT AND
FALL INTO THE ATTIC.
Reporter: THE ROOF OF
THIS MASSACHUSETTS LOWE'S
HARDWARE STOR STORE
COLLAPSED.
THEY'RE NOT CAPABLE OF
HOLDING THAT TYPE OF WEIGHT,
OBVIOUSLY, WHICH IS WAY
THEY'RE CAVING IN.
Reporter: IN NEW YORK
CITY, THE COLDEST FEBRUARY
DAY IN NEARLY THREE
DECADES.
I FIGURED IT'S COLD WHEN
YOUR EYEBALLS ACHE.
Reporter: EVEN ONE OF
THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD,
NIAGARA FALLS, WAS A FROZEN
WONDERLAND.
THE PRICE OF ADMISSION:
ENDURING A TEMPERATURE OF 13
BELOW 0°.
IT IS BEAUTIFUL.
IT IS WORTH IT.
Reporter: IN
LONG-SUFFERING BOSTON, NO
RELIEF WITH THE MERKY
MERCURY THREE BELOW ZERO.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO VISIT
BOSTON, MAYBE COME IN JUNE,
NOT FEBRUARY.
Reporter: DALE HURD,
CBN NEWS.
Pat: IT IS NOT UP YET.
WE'LL HAVE SPRING ONE OF
THOSE DAYS.
BUT ONE OF THOSE DAYS WILL
NOT BE THE NEXT SEVERAL MORE
COMING IN.
THEY CALL THEM "CLIPPERS"
THAT KEEP SWEEPING ACROSS
THE COUNTRY FROM THAT BLAST
OF ARCTIC AIR.
> IN OTHER NEWS, A FEDERAL
JUDGE HAS HANDED PRESIDENT
OBAMA DEFEAT FOR NOW ON HIS
EXECUTIVE ACTION ON ILLEGAL
IMMIGRANTS.
EFREM GRAHAM HAS THAT STORY
FROM THE CBN NEWS ROOM.
HERE IS EFREM.
Efrem: PAT, THE WHITE
HOUSE IS PROMISING TO APPEAL
THE RULING THAT BLOCKS
PRESIDENT OBAMA'S EXECUTIVE
ACTION ON IMMIGRATION.
THEY WANT TO ALLOW TIME FOR
A COALITION OF 26 STATES TO
SUE THE ADMINISTRATION.
THE STATES ARE SEEKING TO
PERMANENTLY STOP THE
PRESIDENT'S ORDERS THAT
COULD STOP DEPORTATION FOR
AS MANY AS FIVE MILLION
ILLEGAL ALIENS.
CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS
ARE SEEKING TO BLOCK THE
POLICY BY CUTTING THE
HOMELAND SECURITY
DEPARTMENT'S BUDGET FOR THAT
PROGRAM.
PAT?
Pat: THIS IS AMAZING.
THIS IS BECOMING A BIG
DEAL.
WE'LL DO A STORY ON IT IN A
COUPLE OF DAYS.
BUT THE SENATE DEMOCRATS ARE
ESSENTIALLY FILIBUSTERING
THAT BUDGET, AND THE
ALLOCATION FOR THE HOMELAND
SECURITY IS ALL FUNDED
EXCEPT FOR THE PART DEALING
WITH THIS IMMIGRATION.
NOW, WHAT'S HAPPENING, YOU
HEAR NANCY PELOSI AND HER
CREW SAYING, WELL, IT IS
THOSE OBSCURE RANTIST
REPUBLICANS WHO ARE DOING
THIS, SHUTTING THE
GOVERNMENT DOWN AGAIN.
I HEARD CHARLES MAKING A
VERY IMPORTANT DECISION.
HE SAID HARRY REID KNOCKED
OUT THE FILIBUSTER FOR THE
APPOINTMENT OF THREE CIRCUIT
COURT JUDGES FOR THE D.C.
CIRCUIT, WHICH IS A MAJOR
THING.
SO THEY APPROVED THOSE
LIBERAL JUDGES, TO PUT THEM
ON THAT KEY CIRCUIT.
AND HE INVOKED WHAT THEY
CALL THE NUCLEAR OPTION, AND
IT WAS A MAJORITY VOTE, AND
THEY DID IT.
WELL, THERE IS NO REASON
THAT THE REPUBLICANS WHO NOW
CONTROL THE SENATE CAN'T DO
THE SAME THING.
THEY CAN SAY IN THIS
PARTICULAR ISSUE, WE SUSPEND
FILIBUSTER, AND WE WILL NOT
HAVE FILIBUSTER ON "X," "Y,"
AND "Z."
AND THEY CAN PASS IT WITH
THEIR MAJORITY, WHICH THEY
HAVE.
AND THEN THEY SEND THE THING
TO THE PRESIDENT.
AND IT WILL BE UP TO THE
PRESIDENT TO DEFUND HOMELAND
SECURITY.
BUT THAT WOULD BE TOO SIMPLE
A SOLUTION.
BUT I GIVE CREDIT TO WHERE
IT CAME FROM, BUT IT IS A
SMART IDEA.
EFREM?
Efrem: ISRAELI PRIME
MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU
SAID IT IS HIS SACRED DUTY
TO SPEAK TO CONGRESS ABOUT
THE DANGERS OF A BAD DEAL
WITH IRAN.
HE CALLED IRAN'S PURSUIT OF
NUCLEAR WEAPONS, QUOTE,"THE
MOST URGENT SECURITY CONCERN
FACING THE WORLD."
THE U.S. AND OTHER
INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS ARE
NEGOTIATING WITH IRAN OVER
ITS NUCLEAR PROGRAM.
NETANYAHU HAS BEEN AT ODDS
WITH THE WHITE HOUSE, AND
THE ISRAELI LEFT WING, FOR
WEEKS OVER THE INVITATION TO
ADDRESS THE U.S. CONGRESS.
HIS OPPONENTS CHARGE THE
POLICE IS POLITICALLY
MOTIVATED BECAUSE IT COMES
TWO WEEKS BEFORE ISRAELI
GENERAL ELECTIONS.
BUT NETANYAHU RESPONDED TO
THE CRITICISM WITH THREE
QUESTIONS, SAYING THAT THE
VERY SURVIVAL OF HIS COUNTRY
IS AT STAKE.
WHY CONGRESS?
WHY WASHINGTON?
WHY NOW?
BECAUSE OF THE GRAVE DANGERS
POSED BY THE DEAL THAT IS ON
THE TABLE RIGHT NOW.
I DON'T SEE THIS ISSUE IN
PARTISAN TERMS.
THE SURVIVAL OF ISRAEL IS
NOT A PARTISAN ISSUE.
IT CONCERNS EVERYONE.
Efrem: NETANYAHU IS SET
TO SPEAK TO CONGRESS ON
MARCH 3rd, AND, PAT,
THAT'S EXACTLY TWO WEEKS
FROM TODAY.
Pat: WELL, I THINK IT
WILL BE AN IMPORTANT
SPEECH.
AND I THINK TO LABEL THE
PARTISAN IS JUST RIDICULOUS
BECAUSE HE IS CONCERNED
ABOUT THE FUTURE OF HIS
COUNTRY.
FOLKS, HERE IS WHAT IS
HAPPENING -- YOU SEE THE
MAPS AND HEAR THE STORY.
YEMEN -- WHO CARES ABOUT
YEMEN, A LITTLE THING, BUT
YEMEN, A FRIENDLY COUNTRY OF
THE UNITED STATES, JUST FELL
TO ISLAMIC TERRORISTS.
A GROUP THAT IS ALIGNED
WITH, YOU GUESSED IT, IRAN.
WHAT IS HEZBOLLAH?
IT'S TIED IN TO IRAN.
AND THEY CONTROL LEBANON.
WHAT ABOUT IRAQ?
THE SHI'A GOVERNMENT IS VERY
FRIENDLY TO IRAN.
YOU COULD SAY THEY HAVE
ALMOST BECOME A CLIENT
STATE.
YOU HAVE IRAN, YOU HAVE
YEMEN, YOU HAVE OTHER
COUNTRIES LIKE LEBANON.
YOU HAVE SYRIA, WHICH IS IN
CHAOS AND MIGHT BE TENDING
TO BE AN IRANIAN SATELLITE.
SO THEY HAVE AFFECTIVELY
GRABBED CONTROL OF THE
MIDDLE EAST.
THINK WILL WHAT WILL HAPPEN
WHEN THEY HAVE A NUCLEAR
WEAPON AND THEY CAN USE
BLACKMAIL AGAINST THE MIDDLE
EAST COUNTRIES.
BUT, AT THE SAME TIME,
THEY'RE TRYING TO GET THE
INTERCONTINENTAL MISSILE
SYSTEM GOING.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'LL BE
SUCCESSFUL.
SO THEY'VE PUT A MERVED
MISSILE ON TOP OF ONE OF
THOSE MISSILES AND LAUNCHED
IT AT WASHINGTON, AND THEY
COULD WIPE OUT THE NATION'S
CAPITAL.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DEALING
WITH.
IT'S VERY SERIOUS.
AND OBAMA IS PLAYING GAMES
WITH IT.
WE HAVE A EFFECTLESS
PRESIDENT.
YOU MIGHT PRAY FOR THE
PRESIDENT, BUT SOMEHOW HE IS
TENDING TO BE SO WEAK INTO
RELATION TO THIS CRISIS THAT
IS FACING THE WORLD.
EFREM?
Efrem: PAT, YOU MAY
RECALL CANDIDATE BARACK
OBAMA SAID HE WOULD HAVE THE
MOST TRANSPARENT
ADMINISTRATION EVER.
BUT SOME CRIT SI CRITICS
SAY THE WHITE HOUSE IS
APPARENTLY DOING MORE THAN
ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATION
EVER TO BLOCK THE VERY
TRANSPARENCY HE PROMISED.
PAUL STRAND REPORTS ON A
MASSIVE AND DISTURBING
CRACKDOWN.
Reporter: THIS
GOVERNMENT WHITE HOUSE SAYS
PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS DESIGNED
BILLS TO PROTECT
WHISTLE-BLOWERS.
AND YET THE
ADMINISTRATION IS DOING
EVERYTHING IT CAN,
APPARENTLY, TO RETALIATE
AGAINST ANYONE WHO REPORTS
ANYTHING PUBLICLY OR GOES TO
CONGRESS WITH EVIDENCE THE
ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE
SOMETHING WRONG.
Reporter: ERIC HOLDER
QUIT AS ATTORNEY-GENERAL,
BUT NOT BEFORE GOING AFTER
MORE WHISTLE-BLOWERS THAN
ANY OF HIS PREDECESSORS.
HOW MANY?
OF SOME 2900 CASES INVOLVING
THE GOVERNMENT IN THE YEAR
2013, ALMOST HALF OF THEM
HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH
RETALIATION AGAINST
WHISTLE-BLOWERS.
ERIC HOLDER HAS OPENED UP
MORE LEAK INVESTIGATIONS
THAN ALL PRIOR
ATTORNEY-GENERALS COMBINED,
WHICH IS REALLY -- THAT'S
QUITE SOMETHING.
Reporter: GEORGE
MASON'S LAW SCHOOL SAYS WE
NEED WHISTLE-BLOWERS MORE
THAN EVER AT A TIME WHEN THE
FEDERAL BUREAUCRACY IS
GROWING SO HUGE AND OUT OF
CONTROL.
WHISTLE-BLOWING IS AN
ESSENTIAL PIECE NOW BECAUSE
THE GOVERNMENT HAS GOTTEN SO
TRONG ANSTRONG AND
POWERFUL.
Reporter: THE REASON
CONGRESS HAS BEEN PASSING
MORE LAWS TO TRY TO PROTECT
WHISTLE-BLOWERS IS FOR
SELF-PRESERVATION.
A BUREAUCRACY TENDS TO
PROTECT ITSELF AND GROW ITS
POWERS.
THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH
BUREAUCRACIES.
Reporter: EVEN 47 OF
THE 53 GENERALS, COMPLAINED
ABOUT PRESIDENT OBAMA'S
REFUSAL TO BE TRANSPARENT
AND OPEN.
REFUSING TO TURN OVER
DOCUMENTATION THAT WOULD
ENABLE THEM TO DO THEIR
JOBS.
THAT HAS NEVER, EVER
HAPPENED BEFORE.
Reporter: MOST OF THE
INSPECTORS ARE OBAMA'S
APPOINTEES.
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
LOOKING AT FRAUD, BUT
THEY'RE THE ONES
COMPLAINING.
Reporter: WITH THIS
ADMINISTRATION BEING ACCUSED
BY CONSERVATIVES AND EVEN
SOME LIBERALS, THE DANGER IS
APPARENT.
IF YOU DON'T PROTECT
WHISTLE-BLOWERS, THEN WE
DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON
IN THESE HUGE AGENCIES THAT
ARE CREATING REGULATIONS,
THAT ARE ENFORCING THESE
REGULATIONS AGAINST
AMERICA.
Reporter: ONE WAY THE
ADMINISTRATION IS SHUTTING
UP POTENTIAL WHISTLE-BLOWERS
IS BY USING A LEGAL LOOPHOLE
THAT LET'S IT DESIGNATE
THEIR WORK "SENSITIVE JOBS,"
EVEN IF THEY REALLY AREN'T.
APPARENTLY THE GOVERNMENT
NOW IS USING THAT TO
DESIGNATE ALL KINDS OF
PEOPLE SO THEY CAN'T TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THE
WHISTLE-BLOWER PROTECTIONS,
EVEN THOUGH THEY REALLY
SHOULDN'T HAVE THAT
DESIGNATION.
Reporter: THE
ADMINISTRATION ALSO USED ONE
ARCANE LAW TO SENTENCE TO
PROPOSITION THE
WHISTLE-BLOWER WHO BLEW UP
THE CASE OF WATER BLOWING.
PAUL STRAND, CBN NEWS,
REPORTING FROM THE WHITE
HOUSE.
Efrem: TURNING TO
HEALTH NEWS, IF YOU WANT TO
TAKE OFF SOME WEIGHT, TRY
ADDING SOME FIBRE TO YOUR
DIET.
PEOPLE WHO SIMPLY ADDED MORE
FIBER LOST VIRTUALLY AS MUCH
WEIGHT AS THOSE WHO FOLLOWED
A MORE COMPLICATED EATING
PLAN.
PEOPLE IN THE STUDY ATE AT
LEAST 30 GRAMS OF FIBER IS
DAY, AND THEY DIDN'T GET IT
FROM SUPPLEMENTS, BUT FROM
FOODS.
ONE EXPERT TOLD HEALTH DAY
THAT ADDING THOSE KINDS OF
FOODS TO YOUR DIET CAN HELP
YOU FEEL FULL.
AND THAT MEANS YOU WON'T
NECESSARILY BE EATING THE
UNHEALTHY FATTY AND SUGARY
FOODS.
Pat: I'M A FAN OF
BEANS.
ALL KINDS OF BEANS, BLACK
BEANS, BROWN BEANS, RED
BEANS, WHITE BEANS.
BEANS ARE LOADED WITH FIBER,
AND THEY'RE VERY GOOD
SOURCES OF PROTEIN.
THEY'VE GOT NOTHING BUT GOOD
HEALTH BENEFITS FOR YOU.
WELL, WE'RE GOING TO BE
TALKING ABOUT A BOOK THAT I
THINK IS ONE OF THE BEST
I'VE EVER SEEN ABOUT HEART
HEALTH.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.
Terry: THAT'S RIGHT.
UP NEXT, IF YOU THINK
LOWERING YOUR CHOLESTEROL
HELPS PREVENT HEART DISEASE,
THINK AGAIN.
SUGAR IS THE REAL CULPRIT.
FIND OUT WHY WHEN WE COME
BACK.
Pat: WELL, WE'RE SO
GLAD TO HAVE YOU WITH US ON
WHAT MAY BE A VERY COLD DAY
IN A GOOD PART OF THE
COUNTRY.
WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO TEACH
YOU, DAY AFTER DAY, SOME OF
THE GOOD HEALTH TIPS AND THE
BAD HEALTH TIPS, BUT I GOT
HOLD OF A BOOK THAT WAS SENT
TO US, AND IT'S CALLED "THE
GREAT CHOLESTEROL MYTH."
AND I THINK IT IS ONE OF THE
BEST BOOKS ABOUT HEART
HEALTH THAT I HAVE EVER
SEEN.
NOW, DR. SINATRA, WHO IS ONE
OF THE AUTHORS OF THIS BOOK,
WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE, BUT
THE WEATHER WAS SUCH THAT
HIS FLIGHT WAS CANCELLED, SO
HE'LL COME IN A COUPLE OF
WEEKS.
BUT LORI JOHNSON IS GOING TO
FILL IN FOR HIM.
AND SHE'LL DO AN EXCELLENT
JOB.
DID YOU REMEMBER THAT
ADD, "I TRUST MY HEART TO
LIPITOR?"
IT IS THE CONVENTIONAL
WISDOM, LOWER YOUR
CHOLESTEROL AND LOWER YOUR
RISK OF HEART DISEASE.
BUT IS THAT SMART?
THERE IS A MUCH DIFFERENT
APPROACH TO HEART HEALTH
THAT BLOWS CONVENTIONAL
WISDOM RIGHT OUT OF THE
WATER.
AND HERE IS HEALTH REPORTER
LORI JOHNSON TO TELL US
ABOUT IT.
Lori: A GROWING NUMBER
OF DOCTORS HAVE CHANGED
THEIR TUNE AND NO LONGER
BELIEVE HIGH CHOLESTEROL
CAUSES HEART DISEASE.
LIKE CARDIOLOGIST STEPHEN
SINATRA.
CHOLESTEROL WAS FOUND AT
THE SCENE OF THE CRIME FOR
HEART DISEASE, BUT IT IS NOT
THE PERPETRATOR.
Lori: THE NEWEST
THINKING IS INFLAMMATION IS
THE REAL CAUSE OF HEART
DISEASE, AND THAT COMES FROM
EATING TOO MUCH SUGAR,
BREAD, AND THE TRANS-FATS
FOUND IN PROCESSED FOODS.
IN HIS BOOK, "THE GREAT
CHOLESTEROL MYTH," SINATRA
SAYS HE FIGURED OUT
CHOLESTEROL WAS NOT THE
CAUSE OF HEART DISEASE BY
OBSERVING HIS OWN PATIENTS.
I WAS DOING ANGIOGRAMS ON
PEOPLE WITH CHOLESTEROLS OF
150, AND THEY HAD FAR
ADVANCED HEART DISEASE.
AND THEN I WAS DOING
CHOLESTEROLS OF 280 AND THEY
HAD NO HEART DISEASE.
Lori: THE DOCTOR SAYS
SINCE CHOLESTEROL IS NOT THE
PROBLEM, MOST PEOPLE DO NOT
NEED CHOLESTEROL-LOLOWERING
STATIN DRUGS.
Pat: LORI JOHNSON IS
HERE WITH US FOR DR. SINATRA
WHO WAS HELD UP BECAUSE OF
THE SNOW.
I HAD A FRIEND WHO HAD
MUSCLE WEAKNESS AND ALL
KINDS OF THINGS, AND I SAID,
YOU REALLY OUGHT TO STOP
TAKING THAT LIPITOR.
AND HE SAID, I WAS TOLD BY A
DOCTOR TO STO TAKE IT.
AND HE STOPPED, AND ALL OF A
SUDDEN SOME OF THE PAIN
STOPPED.
Lori: A LOT OF PEOPLE
THINK THE PAINS AND THE
BRAIN FOG IS GETTING OLDER,
BUT IT IS THE STATIN.
OUR BRAINS NEED CHOLESTEROL,
AND WHEN YOU DEPLETE THE
CHOLESTEROL IN YOUR BRAIN,
YOU START HAVING MEMORY
PROBLEMS.
AND DR. SINATRA SAYS IT CAN
EVEN BRING ON THE ONSET OF
ALZHEIMER'S BY 15 YEARS.
Pat: YOU MEAN TAKING
LIPITOR, OR WHAT ARE SOME OF
THE OTHER ONES?
Lori: CRESTOR.
Pat: STATIN DRUGS WILL
ACTUALLY BRING ON THE
ONSET -- POTENTIALLY BRING
ON THE ONSET OF ALZHEIMER'S
BY 15 YEARS.
Lori: THAT'S WHAT
DR. SINATRA SAYS, AND HE IS
NOT THE ONLY ONE, TOO.
HE IS NOT THE ONLY DOCTOR
WHO SAYS CHOLESTEROL IS NOT
THE CAUSE OF HEART DISEASE,
THAT IT IS INFLAMMATION.
THIS IS A WHOLE -- THE TIDE
IS TURNING AND MORE AND MORE
DOCTORS ARE GETTING ON BOARD
WITH THIS PHILOSOPHY.
THAT IT IS THE IMFLAMMATION,
NOT THE CHOLESTEROL.
Pat: AND THE STATINS
ALSO DEPLETE C CO-Q10.
AND IF YOU'RE TAKING A
STATIN, YOU SHOULD BE TAKING
100 MILLIGRAMS OF CO-Q10 TO
HELP WITH THAT DEPLETION.
Pat: LORI, I DON'T
THINK DOCTORS GET TRAINED IN
NUTRITION.
Lori: THEY DON'T.
VERY, VERY LITTLE NUTRITION
TRAINING.
AND SO LOTS OF THESE
DOCTORS, LIKE DR. SINATRA
AND DR. WESTMAN DOWN AT
DUKE, WHO SAY THEY SAW
THROUGH THEIR OWN PATIENTS
IT IS NOT THE CHOLESTEROL,
THAT IT IS THE
IMFLAMMATION.
AND DOCTORS DIDN'T KNOW THAT
MUCH ABOUT IMFLAMMATION
UNTIL RECENTLY.
WE KNEW WHEN YOU LOOKED AT A
DAMAGED ARTERY THERE IS
CHOLESTEROL THERE.
BUT THE LATEST THINKING IS
CHOLESTEROL IS GOOD, AND IT
IS THERE TO HEAL AND TO
HELP.
THEY LIKE TO COMPARE IT TO,
LET'S SAY YOU HAVE A BUNCH
OF HOUSES THAT ARE BURNING
TO THE GROUND, AND YOU THINK
WHAT IS CAUSING ALL OF THESE
HOUSES TO BURN TO THE
GROUND.
WELL, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS
ALWAYS THERE, SO IT MUST BE
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
NO, ON CLOSER EXAMINATION,
IT IS THE FLAMES.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS THERE
TO HELP.
THAT'S SORT OF THE SAME WAY
IT IS WITH CHOLESTEROL.
IT IS THE IMFLAMMATION.
Pat: THEY'RE TALKING
ABOUT SUGAR.
IS IT 240 POUNDS A SUGAR A
YEAR?
Lori: IT IS
DISGUSTING.
MOST PEOPLE EAT IN A MONTH
THE AMOUNT OF SUGAR THAT A
HUNDRED YEARS AGO THEY WOULD
IN A YEAR.
IT IS THE WHITE BREAD, ALSO,
AND THE PASTA, AND ALL OF
THOSE THINGS, TURN RIGHT
INTO SUGAR.
AND THE TRANS-FATS, WHICH
ARE IN THE PROCESSED FOODS,
AND THE OMEGA 6 FATS.
Pat: I USED TO THINK
CANOLA OIL AND PEANUT OIL
AND SAFFLOWER OIL --
Lori: NOPE, NOPE,
NOPE.
Pat: THEY USED TO THINK
IT WAS GOOD STUFF.
BUT, NO, IT HAS TO BE THE
OMEGA-3s.
Lori: THAT'S RIGHT.
SO ALL OF THE VEGETABLE OILS
IN THE CLEAR PLASTIC BOTTLES
IN THE GROCERY STORE, THOSE
ARE HIGHLY INFLAMMATORY.
AND PEOPLE ARE, LIKE, WHAT
ARE WE SUPPOSED TO COOK
WITH?
COCONUT OIL IS GREAT FOR
MEDIUM TEMPERATURES.
AVOCADO OIL IS GOOD FOR HIGH
TEMPERATURES.
AND OLIVE OIL IS GOOD FOR
LOW TEMPERATURES AND ALSO
RAW.
BUT WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT BE
EATING ARE SUGAR, THE
PROCESSED CARBOHYDRATES, THE
WHITE BREADS, AND THE
TRANS-FATS AND OMEGA 6 FATS,
FOUND IN PROCESSED FOODS.
EAT THE ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
WONDERFUL FATS.
Pat: WE READ THE LABEL
ON MOST CEREALS, AND WE WILL
FIND IT IS HIGH FRUCTOSE
CORN SYRUP AND SUGAR AND
OTHER TYPES OF SWEETS.
SO IT IS NOT JUST SUGAR.
IT IS HONEY, IT'S SYRUP.
IT IS WHATEVER ELSE, BUT
ESPECIALLY HIGH FRUCTOSE
CORN SYRUP.
Lori: AND IT IS NOT
JUST IN SWEETS.
IT'S IN YOGURT.
IT'S IN PASTA SAUCE.
FOODS THAT SEEM HEALTHY.
ALMOST ALL OF THESE
PROCESSED FOODS HAVE SOME
SORT OF A SUGAR SYRUP, OR
SOME FORM OF SUGAR IN THEM
BECAUSE THEY TASTE REALLY
GOOD AND THEY'RE ADDICTING.
Pat: THE PROBLEM IS IT
IS HYPING THE PETUUITARY
GLANDS, AND --
Lori: ABSOLUTELY.
THEY DON'T JUST CAUSE HEART
DISEASE.
THEY CAUSE DIABETES, THEY
LEAD TO CANCER, AND THE LIST
GOES ON AND ON.
WHAT DO YOU EAT?
YOU NEED TO EAT AN
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DIET.
ONE OF MOT ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
FOODS ARE GOOD FATS.
TOPPING THE LIST, FISH OIL.
VERY ANTI-INFLAMMATORY.
Pat: I TAKE A TEASPOON
OF NORWEGIAN COD LIVER OIL
EVERY DAY.
Lori: AND I KNOW YOU'RE
A BIG WALNUT FAN.
AND THAT WAS NUMBER TWO ON
MY LIST.
Pat: WALNUTS ARE
TREMENDOUS, AND FLAX SEEDS.
I'M A FAN OF NUTS.
I'M A FAN OF BEANS.
AND THAT'S THE FIBER.
Lori: AND THEY ARE THE
MUSICAL FRUIT, I HEAR.
[LAUGHTER]
Lori: YOU KNOW WHAT, ON
A ABSOLUTELY OTHER SUBJECT,
I RECENTLY DID A STORY
TALKING ABOUT THE BLUE
ZONES, THE AREA ACROSS THE
WORLD WHERE PEOPLE LIVE THE
LONGEST.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THEY
ALL HAVE IN COMMON ARE DIETS
HIGH IN BEANS.
SO YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT
TRACK.
OTHER ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
FOODS, I KNOW YOU LIKE THE
NUTS --
Pat: AND THE MIXED
BERRIES.
Lori: AND VEGETABLES
ARE EXTREMELY
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY.
THE PALEO DIET IS A VERY
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DIET.
YOU CAN BRING DOWN THAT
INFLAMMATION BY CHOOSING THE
RIGHT FOODS TO EAT AND
CHOOSING THE RIGHT FOODS TO
AVOID.
Pat: I WANT TO SHOW YOU
THIS BOOK, FOLKS, CALLED
"THE GREAT CHOLESTEROL
MYTH," WRITTEN BY JOHN
BOWDEN AND STEPHEN SINATRA.
IT IS REALLY A TREMENDOUS
BOOK.
HOLD THIS UP.
Lori: I'VE BEEN DOING
THIS FOR A LONG TIME, AND
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST
BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ.
ONE OF THE BEST HEALTH BOOKS
I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS.
I GIVE IT TO EVERYONE I
KNOW.
Pat: I SAID THE SAME
THING WHEN I READ IT.
THIS IS FANTASTIC.
BECAUSE IT IS VERY PRACTICAL
AND EASY TO READ.
AT THE END THEY GIVE YOU
SOME FOODS TO EAT AND TELL
YOU WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO
AVOID.
THEY MAKE IT VERY SIMPLE.
IT IS NOT COMPLEX AT ALL.
FOLKS, LET'S LIVE LONGER.
THIS IS HOW TO DO IT.
Lori: IT ABSOLUTELY
IS.
I WANT TO PUT IN ONE MORE
PLUG FOR ANOTHER BOOK.
WE TALKED ABOUT GOOD FATS
VERSUS BAD FATS -- SO IF
PEOPLE WANT CLARITY ON FATS,
THERE IS A GREAT BOOK OUT
CALLED "BIG FAT SURPRISE,"
AND THAT LAYS IT ALL OUT FOR
YOU.
Pat: ALL RIGHT.
LORI, YOU'RE TERRIFIC.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE
WANT YOU TO LIVE LONG AND
PROSPER.
THAT'S WHAT GOD'S PLAN FOR
YOU IS.
TERRY?
Terry: COMING UP, A
FATHER WHO WORKED IN THE
FAMILY BUSINESS RUNNING A
STRIP CLUB.
YOUR DAUGHTER CAN'T GO TO
WORK WITH YOU BECAUSE WHAT
YOU DO IS DISGUSTING -- I
OBVIOUSLY WAS EMBARRASSED
ABOUT WHAT I DID.
IT IS SHAMEFUL.
Terry: HOW A WAKEUP
CALL IN THE SHOWER HELPED
THIS DAD CLEAN UP HIS ACT.
Pat: THIS IS AN
INTERESTING STORY WE'VE GOT
FOR YOU, AARON BECKALA, HE
WAS IN A FAMILY THAT OWNED
STRIP CLUBS, WOMEN WHO
DANCED TOPLESS, BOTTOMLESS,
AND WHATEVER.
THAT WAS THE FAMILY
BUSINESS.
AND SO AARON SAID, OKAY,
THIS IS A LEGAL BUSINESS, SO
WHY NOT?
BUT HE HIT THE WALL WHEN HIS
DAUGHTER SAID, WELL, AT
SCHOOL WE'RE DOING SHOW AND
TELL, WHAT MAMA AND DADDY DO
FOR WORK.
I'D LIKE TO GO TO YOUR PLACE
OF BUSINESS.
WELL, HE WASN'T ABOUT TO
TAKE THAT LITTLE GIRL TO HIS
OWN STRIP CLUB.
MY DAUGHTER CAME HOME,
AND THERE WAS CAREER DAY AT
SCHOOL.
SHE COMES HOME, GUESS WHAT
WE GET TO GO DO, ALL EXCITED
ABOUT IT.
Reporter: BUT AARON
WASN'T AS EXCITED AS HIS
DAUGHTER ABOUT CAREER DAY.
AS THE CO-OWNER OF A STRIP
CLUB IN COLORADO, IT MEANT
TALKING ABOUT EXOTIC DANCERS
AND HEAVY DRINKING
DRINKING.
IF YOUR DAUGHTER CAN'T GO
TO WORK WITH YOU BECAUSE
WHAT YOU DO IS DISGUSTING, I
OBVIOUSLY WAS EMBARRASSED
ABOUT WHAT I DO.
Reporter: HIS CLUB HAS
SINCE BEEN GUTTED AND UNDER
CONSTRUCTION.
BUT RETURNING TO THE SPACE,
HE REMEMBERS THE SCENE
WELL.
THE TYPICAL NIGHT IN
HERE, LIFE IS VERY LOUD.
THIS IS WHERE SHE WOULD WALK
DOWN THE STAGE.
THERE IS THREE, ONE HERE AND
A MIDDLE ONE AND ONE OFF TO
THE SIDE.
Reporter: HIS FATHER
OWNED A CHAIN OF STRIP
CLUBS.
TO AARON, IT WAS A NORMAL
PART OF LIFE.
BUT HIS DAD'S FREQUENT
DISAPPEARANCES AND AFFAIRS
WEIGHED HEAVILY ON HIS
HEART.
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU
SEE YOUR MOM CRYING OFF AND
ON FOR AS LONG AS I CAN
REMEMBER GROWING UP.
SHE WAS SAD.
BUT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN VERY
INTROVERTED, SO WHATEVER WAS
GOING ON I ABSOLUTELY KEPT
IT TO MYSELF.
Reporter: AARON'S
PARENTS LATER DIVORCED.
AND AS MUCH AS HE DIDN'T
WANT TO BE LIKE HIS DAD, HE
WANTED HIS APPROVAL.
SO SHORTLY AFTER COLLEGE HE
JOINED HIS BROTHERS AND
FATHER IN THE BUSINESS AS
OPERATIONS MANAGER.
THIS BUSINESS IS LEGAL.
I'M NOT HURTING ANYONE.
THEY CHOOSE TO COME AND GO
OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL.
Reporter: IT WAS LONG
BEFORE AARON OPENED HIS OWN
CLUB.
HE MARRIED A DANCER, AND
THEY HAD TWO CHILDREN.
HAVING A FAMILY, ESPECIALLY
A DAUGHTER, GOT HIM THINKING
ABOUT THE ADULT
ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY.
I CAME TO THE REALIZATION
THAT WOMEN WERE JUST BEEN
OBJECTIFIED, AND TO BE
USED.
I COULD GO ON AND ON WITH
THE REASONS WHY I KNEW IT
WAS BAD.
I KNEW IT WAS WRONG.
IT WAS JUST UGLY.
Reporter: BUT HE LIKED
MAKING SIX FIGURES A YEAR
FOR THE SAKE OF THIS
FAMILY.
I PUT MY HEAD IN THE
SAND.
I MINIMIZED, I LOOKED THE
OTHER WAY.
Reporter: HEAVY
DRINKING HELPED AARON COPE
TEMPORARILY.
BUT THE SHAME FINALLY CAUGHT
UP WITH HIM WHEN HIS FATHER
GOT TERMINAL CANCER, AND
AARON BEGAN QUESTIONING HIS
OWN CHOICES.
IS THIS WHAT I'M REALLY
ABOUT?
IS THIS WHAT I WANT MY KIDS
TO THINK?
IS THIS THE LEGACY I WANT TO
LEAVE?
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
OKAY, HOW DO I CHANGE THAT?
Reporter: BY THIS TIME
HIS BROTHER HAD BECOME A
CHRISTIAN AND GAVE HIM A
BIBLE.
AARON WAS ACCEP SKEPTICAL
ABOUT CHRISTIANITY.
WHY WOULD GOD WANT TO
TAKE THE CHANCE WITH ME?
I'M NOT WORTHY.
AND IT IS ALL JUST A BUNCH
OF GARBAGE.
Reporter: STILL, HE
READ THE BIBLE COVER TO
COVER AND HE WAS SURPRISED
WITH WHAT HE LEARNED ABOUT
JESUS.
HE CAME FOR THE SINNERS.
THAT REALIZATION THAT I WAS
EXACTLY WHY HE CAME HERE.
THAT ME, AND THE LIFE I LED,
THAT WAS TOTALLY IT.
Reporter: LATER, HE AND
HIS WIFE RECEIVED A FLIER
INVITING THEM TO CHURCH.
THEY WENT AND AARON MET SOME
MEN WHO GAVE THEM HOPE.
IT IS JUST VERY REWARDING
TO REALIZE THAT MAYBE I
COULD HAVE A SECOND CHANCE.
IT GAVE ME A FIRST-TIME
THOUGHT PROCESS OF I'VE
SPENT ROUGHLY HALF OF MY
LIFE DOING THIS.
I GUESS I COULD SPEND THE
OTHER HALF DOING SOMETHING
BETTER.
Reporter: SO HE STARTED
GOING TO THE CHURCH AND
DOING THINGS HE THOUGHT A
GOOD CHRISTIAN COULD, LIKE
PRAYING FOR A WAY TO GET OUT
OF THE BUSINESS.
BUT NOTHING HAPPENED.
I WENT BACK TO DRINKING
PRETTY SERIOUSLY AND JUST
BROKE DOWN IN THE SHOWER.
I GENUINELY SAID, YOU DO
IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
ANYMORE.
I'M NOT GETTING THIS RIGHT.
IF YOU'RE REAL AND IF YOU'RE
WHO I READ ABOUT AND IF
YOU'RE -- I THINK IF YOU'RE
WHO I REALLY WANT YOU TO BE,
I CAN'T DO THIS.
IN REALITY, I WAS TURNING IT
OVER.
AND I THINK THAT IS WHAT THE
KEY WAS.
I HAD ME, MYSELF, AND I IN
EVERYTHING MY ENTIRE LIFE UP
UNTIL THAT POINT.
AND WHILE MY INTENTIONS WERE
GOOD, I HADN'T TURNED IT
OVER.
Reporter: A WEEK AFTER
AARON SURRENDERED TO JESUS,
HE WAS ABLE TO WALK AWAY
FROM HIS CLUB.
IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.
I CAN'T REALLY EXPLAIN OR
DESCRIBE THE WEIGHT THAT WAS
LIFTED OFF.
Reporter: AARON ALSO
STOPPED DRINKING.
HE BEGAN ATTENDING A BIBLE
STUDY AND STARTED A MASTER'S
PROGRAM IN CHRISTIAN
COUNSELLING.
HE LEARNED ABOUT THE
FORGIVENESS OF GOD, AND
ULTIMATELY FORGAVE HIS
FATHER.
I CAME TO TERMS WITH THAT
GOTTEGUILT AND SHAME.
I REALIZED WHAT THE ROOTS OF
IT WERE AND UNDERSTANDING I
CAN BE FORGIVEN FOR THAT.
NOW I WANT TO GO AND BE ME.
I ENJOY MY KIDS, GOING AND
DOING STUFF WITH THEM.
MY WIFE BEING ABLE TO TAKE
MY DAUGHTER TO CAREER DAY.
Reporter: EVENTUALLY A
CHURCH BOUGHT AARON'S OLD
STRIP CLUB AND TURNED IT
INTO A COMMUNITY CENTER.
IT EVEN SET UP A FUND TO
HELP DANCERS GET AN
EDUCATION OR GIVEN A TRADE.
ULTIMATELY AT THE END OF
THE DAY, CHRIST IS THERE TO
HELP YOU.
HAVE TO BE DILIGENTLY
SEARCHING FOR HIM AND NOT
BEATING YOURSELF UP.
IF YOU FALL DOWN OR YOU TRIP
UP, YOU CAN GET BACK UP AND
GO AGAIN.
ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE
OTHER BECOMES A STEADY JOG
AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW,
IT'S DOWNHILL.
Pat: WHAT A WONDERFUL
STORY.
WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY!
GOD CAN TAKE SOMETHING THAT
IS DESTROYED AND MAKE
SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL OUT OF
IT.
HE WILL MAKE SOMETHING
BEAUTIFUL OUT OF YOUR LIFE.
HE DID WITH AARON.
HE WILL WITH YOU.
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE
SAY, WELL, I'M DOING
SOMETHING THAT IS LEGAL.
YOU MAY BE IN THE
PORNOGRAPHY INDUSTRY.
A LOT OF YOUNG GIRLS GO TO
HOLLYWOOD LOOKING FOR
CAREERS IN ENTERTAINMENT,
AND THEY WIND UP IN PORN
BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY OF
MAKING A LIVING.
IT'S SO EASY WHEN YOU'RE A
COLLEGE GIRL AND YOU NEED A
FEW BUCKS, AND SOMEBODY
SAYS, LOOK, I'LL PAY YOU
$500 IF YOU'LL DANCE OUT
HERE.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TAKE
YOUR TOP OFF AND DANCE
AROUND A LITTLE BIT.
SO SUDDENLY YOU'RE MAKING
$100,000, $150,000 A YEAR,
AND YOU'RE MAKING A LOT MORE
THAN YOUR FRIENDS IN
COLLEGE, SO IT LOOKS PRETTY
GOOD.
BUT THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO
GO.
AND AARON FOUND THE WAY
BECAUSE HE WAS NEVER
SATISFIED.
YOU'RE NEVER SATISFIED IF
YOU'RE NOT WALKING WITH
GOD.
AND GOD IS LOOKING FOR
PEOPLE WHO WILL LIVE FOR
HIM.
AND SERVE HIM.
AND IF YOU WANT TO HAVE
PEACE AND JOY AND HAPPINESS,
FIND OUT THE WAY THAT HE
DID.
IT'S HARD, THOUGH.
HE HAD TO GIVE UP A
LUCRATIVE BUSINESS AND WALK
AWAY FROM IT AND SHUT IT
DOWN.
THAT WAS HARD.
BUT GOD SAID, I'LL GIVE YOU
SOMETHING BETTER.
AND YOU'LL BE HAPPY.
YOUR WIFE WILL BE HAPPY.
YOUR FAMILY WILL BE HAPPY.
AND IF YOU WANT PEACE, WHICH
IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN
ANYTHING, THEN TURN YOUR
LIFE OVER TO JESUS CHRIST.
WE HAVE TELEPHONE OPERATORS
STANDING BY RIGHT NOW.
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE FURTHER
TALK ABOUT IT, IF YOU WANT
TO SAY YES TO JESUS, YOU
CALL AND SAY, LISTEN, I WANT
TO GIVE MY HEART TO THE
LORD.
THE NUMBER IS
1-800-759-0700.
TERRY?
Terry: STILL AHEAD,
WE'RE GOING TO "BRING IT
ON."
MARIE WANTS TO KNOW, IS IT A
SIN FOR A WOMAN TO HAVE A

FERTILIZATION?

PAT AND TERRY ARE BACK WITH
MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB" RIGHT
AFTER THIS.
Terry:
"ORPHANS' PROMISE" IS CARING
FOR MILLIONS OF AT-RISK
CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD.
CHILDREN LIKE EMILY, WHO
LIVED WITH HER ALCOHOLIC
GRANDMOTHER AFTER BEING
ABANDONED BY HER PARENTS.
Reporter: EMILY ALWAYS
ENJOYED SCHOOL AND WANTING
TO GETTING A GOOD
EDUCATION.
SHE LIVED A SIMPLE,
CARE-FREE LIFE.
BUT AFTER HER PARENTS
ABANDONED HER, LIFE WITH HER
GRANDMOTHER WAS VERY HARD.
MY GRANDMOTHER TREATED ME
LIKE A SLAVE.
SHE DRANK A LOT AND SCREAMED
AT ME.
I COULDN'T WORK ON MY
STUDIES AT ALL.
Reporter: SHE ALWAYS
HOPED HER PARENTS WOULD SHOW
UP ONE DAY AND TAKE HER
BACK, BUT THEY NEVER CAME.
SHE SAID MY PARENTS SENT
HER ANY MONEY.
SO I HAD TO PAY HER BACK FOR
FEEDING ME.
SHE SAID I COULDN'T GO TO
SCHOOL ANYMORE.
AND THAT MADE ME SAD.
I FELT LIKE NO ONE LOVED
ME.
Reporter: THEN EMILY
HEARD ABOUT A CHILDREN'S
HOME SUPPORTED BY CBN'S
"ORPHANS' PROMISE."
I LEFT HOME AND CAME
HERE.
THEY TOOK ME IN AND HELPED
ME GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
THIS IS WHERE I FINALLY
FOUND A REAL FAMILY AND A
GOOD HOME.
Reporter: SHE STUDIES
HARD AND ALSO HELPS WITH THE
DAILY CHORES AROUND THE
CENTER.
I'M REALLY HAPPY HERE.
THANK YOU, CBN.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A
HOME.
Terry: I VISITED THAT
CHILDREN'S HOME WHERE EMILY
IS NOW LIVING SEVERAL TIMES,
AND IT IS A FABULOUS PLACE.
GIVING KIDS HOPE,
OPPORTUNITY, EDUCATION, FOOD
EVERY DAY.
FOR A LOT OF THESE CHILDREN,
NOT ONLY DO THEY NOT FEEL
LOVED, BUT THEY'RE HUNGRY.
THEY'RE HUNGRY, SITTING BY
THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
LISTEN, IF YOU'RE A "700
CLUB" MEMBER, YOU'RE MAKING
IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO REACH
OUT AND OFFER HOPE, LIFE, A
NEW BEGINNING, AND THE LOVE
OF GOD TO THESE CHILDREN.
THERE ARE SO MANY MILLIONS
OF ORPHANS AROUND THE
WORLD.
HELP US MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN
THEIR LIVES, WON'T YOU?
YOU CAN DO THAT BY JOINING
"THE 700 CLUB."
IT IS JUST 65 CENTS A DAY,
$20 A MONTH.
BUT YOU'LL BE JOINING WITH
THOUSANDS OF US WHO ARE OUT
TO MAKE THAT KIND OF A
DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF
ORPHANS AND VULNERABLE
CHILDREN.
AND WE WANT TO INVITE YOU TO
BECOME A PART OF THAT.
WE DO IT BY CALLING THAT
TOLL-FREE NUMBER ON YOUR
SCREEN.
IT'S 1-800-759-0700.
OR YOU CAN LOG ON TO
cbn.com AND JOIN "THE 700
CLUB" THAT WAY.
BUT TODAY DO SOMETHING TO
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
WE REALLY CAN WHEN WE ALL
JOIN TOGETHER.
OUR WAY OF SAYING THANK YOU
FOR DOING THAT IS TO SEND
YOU PAT'S LATEST D.V.D.
CALLED "BE HEALED."
THIS ANSWERS ALL OF YOUR
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT DOES
THE BIBLE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT
HEALING?
HOW DO I INITIATE THAT IN MY
OWN NEED OR IN THE NEED OF
SOMEONE I LOVE?
THIS IS YOUR GIFT FOR
JOINING "THE 700 CLUB."
THIS IS A VIEWER IN TEXAS
WHO SAYS THEY'VE ALREADY
WATCHED THE D.V.D. "BE
HEALED IS A GREAT D.V.D.
HAVING A HEALING MIRACLE
MYSELF, I KNOW THAT GOD
STILL HEALS US IF WE
SURRENDER IT ALL TO HIM.
PRAISE THE LORD."
PRAISE THE LORD INDEED FOR
YOU, FOR YOUR CARING FOR
OTHERS.
CALL NOW AND WE'RE GOING TO
GET THIS OUT TO YOU RIGHT
AWAY.
OR YOU CAN LOG ON TO
CBN.COM.
Pat: EXCELLENT.
Terry: OKAY, TIME TO
"BRING IT ON."
THIS FIRST QUESTION COMES
FROM MARIE: "IN YOUR
OPINION, IS IT A SIN FOR A
WOMAN TO HAVE A BABY VIA IN
VITRO FERTILIZATION?"
Pat: I CAN'T IMAGINE
THERE IS ANY SIN TO IT.
GOD IS THE AUTHOR OF LIFE.
THE IN VITRO FERTILIZATION,
AS I UNDERSTAND IT, YOU HAVE
A EGG THAT IS FERTLIZED
OUTSIDE THE WOMB, IN A
PETRIE DISH, AND WHEN THE
EMBRYO BEGINS TO HAVE LIFE,
IT IS INSERTED INTO YOUR
UTERUS AND SO YOU CARRY THE
CHILD.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH
THAT THAT I CAN SEE.
Terry: THIS VIEWER
SAYS, "MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN
GAMBLING WITH LARGE AMOUNTS
OF MONEY.
WE'RE ALREADY IN FINANCIAL
DEBT DUE TO HIS HEALTH
ISSUES.
HE HAS DONE THIS BEFORE, BUT
I THOUGHT HE TURNED HIS LIFE
OVER TO CHRIST AND
EVERYTHING WAS IN THE PAST.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
AND I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF I
WILL EVER BE ABLE TO TRUST
THIS MAN IF I STAY IN THIS
MARRIAGE.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?"
Pat: LOOK, GAMBLING IS
AN ADDICTION, JUST LIKE
ALCOHOL, LIKE PORNOGRAPHY.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
DICTIONS. ADDICTIONS.
THE GAMBLER ACTUALLY WANTS
TO LOSE.
HE WANTS THE THRILL OF
GAMBLING AND PUSHING A LOT
OF MONEY OUT ON THE TABLE.
THAT FEELING.
BUT THE FACT THAT HE IS
GOING TO LOSE IT.
HE KIND OF EXPECTS TO LOSE
IT.
HE DOESN'T WANT TO WIN IT.
HE WANTS TO LOSE.
HE NEEDS PSYCHOLOGICAL
HELP.
BUT IF HE WON'T GET IT,
HE'LL RUIN YOUR FINANCES AND
DESTROY YOUR LIFE.
I THINK THAT IS CERTAINLY A
REASON TO GET A TRIAL
SEPARATION AND SEE IF YOU
CAN'T SAY TO HIM, IF YOU
WILL GO TO PSYCHOLOGICAL
COUNSELLING, YOU NEED AN
INTERVENTION -- THIS IS JUST
LIKE ALCOHOL OR DRUG
ADDICTION.
HE NEEDS TO GET SET FROM
THIS THING.
IF YOU CAN HELP HIM DO THAT,
FINE.
IF NOT, GET ON WITH YOUR
LIFE BECAUSE HE IS GOING TO
DESTROY IT.
Terry: JOHN SAYS, "I
RUN A SMALL PRAYER MINISTRY
AT Facebook.
I'VE BEEN RECENTLY DIAGNOSED
WITH PARKINSON'S, AND I FIND
IT DIFFICULT TO PRACTICE
WHAT I WOULD TELL SOMEONE
ELSE, SUCH AS, GOD KNOWS
WHAT HE IS DOING.
I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR GOOD
DANC GUIDANCE AND WISDOM TO
GET BACK ON TRACK.
I DON'T WANT TO LET GOD
DOWN."
Pat: YOU CAN SAY, TRUST
IN THE LORD.
JOB WAS COVERED WITH BOILS,
HE LOST EVERYTHING, AND YET
HE SAID TO HIS WIFE, "THOUGH
HE SLAY ME, YET WILL I TRUST
HIM."
THE IDEA THAT YOU CAN SAY
TRUST THE LORD, YOU CAN TELL
PEOPLE FROM THE BIBLE.
THE BIBLE IS TRUE.
IT'S REAL.
AND THOSE PRINCIPLES WORK.
AND, BY THE WAY, OUR LORI
JOHNSON HAS SAID THAT THIS
COCONUT OIL DOES WONDERS
WITH PARKINSON'S.
SO IT JUST MAY BE THAT
YOU'VE GOT A CURE COMING, SO
EITHER NATURALLY OR SUPER
NATURALLY THE LORD WILL GIVE
YOU A CURE.
BUT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE
SICK DOESN'T NULLIFY THE
PROMISE OF GOD.
Terry: PAT SAYS, "BEING
FAIRLY NEW AS A CHRISTIAN, I
AM HAVING A HARD TIME
TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT JESUS.
I'M AFRAID OF TURNING
SOMEONE OFF INSTEAD OF ON TO
THE LORD.
IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WILL
COME WITH TIME?
I READ THE WORD OF GOD EVERY
DAY AND I'M TRYING TO
LEARN.
AM I MAYBE WORRYING ABOUT
THIS TOO SOON?
PLEASE ADVIC ADVISE ME HOW
TO HANDLE THIS."
Pat: THERE WAS A BLIND
MAN IN THE BIBLE WHO CAME TO
JESUS.
AND JESUS HEALED HIM.
AND THEN THE LEADERS OF THE
COMMUNITY CAME TO HIM AND
SAID, WHAT HAPPENED?
HE SAID, WELL, THIS GUY
TOUCHED MY EYES AND I CAN
SEE.
AND THEY SAID, DON'T YOU
KNOW HE IS A SINNER, AND GOD
DOESN'T HEAR THE PRAYERS OF
SINNERS.
AND THE GOD SAID, I DON'T
KNOW ABOUT THIS THEOLOGY
STUFF, BUT I WAS BLIND AND
NOW I CAN SEE.
THAT'S WHAT A WITNESS IS.
YOU HAVE SEEN IT IN YOUR
LIFE.
I WAS DEEP IN SIN, AND NOW I
DON'T HAVE A DESIRE TO DO
IT.
I WAS SAD AND NOW I'M
HAPPY.
THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO DO.
JUST TELL THEM, I'M HAPPY.
I FOUND THE LORD.
I'M HAPPY.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO
THEOLOGY.
JUST TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOU.
I WAS BLIND AND NOW I SEE.
Terry: WHAT IS IT THEY
SAY, ONE MAN'S EXPERIENCE
TRUMPS ANOTHER MAN'S
OPINION.
Pat: ABSOLUTELY.
THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO
DO.
AND AS YOU'VE BECOME MORE
CONFIDENT, YOU'LL GET MORE
TESTIMONY OF WHAT GOD HAS
DONE IN YOUR LIFE.
Terry: THIS IS A
VIEWER, PAT, WHO SAYS, "I'M
A 30-YEAR-OLD WOMAN.
I HAVE TWO AMAZING CHILDREN
AND A WONDERFUL HUSBAND.
HOWEVER, I'M STRUGGLING WITH
THE ADDICTION OF
PORNOGRAPHY.
I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS
POSSIBLE FOR ME TO BECOME
ADDICTED.
I'VE TRIED MANY TIMES TO
BREAK THIS ADDICTION ON MY
OWN.
I'M SO ASHAMED AND
EMBARRASSED BECAUSE OF IT.
I'M TOLD TO TAKE IT DAY BY
DAY.
I FEEL IT WOULD BE BETTER TO
MAKE A CLEAN BREAK.
BUT I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW
HOW.
DOES GOD STILL LOVE ME AND
FORGIVE ME?
I FEEL LIKE I'VE LET HIM
DOWN."
Pat: LISTEN, WE ALL LET
GOD DOWN.
OF COURSE YOU LET HIM DOWN.
HERE IS THE THING, THE BIBLE
SAYS HE MADE A SHOW OF THEM
OPENLY, TRIUMPHANT IN THE
CROSS.
YOU NEED TO GO TO YOUR AND
SAY, LISTEN, I'VE GOT THIS
PROBLEM WITH PORN, AND I
NEED YOU TO HELP ME.
I WANT YOU TO PRAY WITH ME
TOGETHER.
AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A
SATISFACTORY SEX LIFE
TOGETHER.
BUT YOU DON'T NEED
PORNOGRAPHY.
AND IT IS DAY BY DAY BY DAY,
BUT MAKE A SHOW OF IT.
THE MORE YOU HIDE IT, THE
MORE THE DEVIL WILL U.S. IT
AS A CLUB OVER YOUR HEAD.
TELL YOUR HUSBAND.
THE TWO OF YOU PRAY ABOUT IT
TOGETHER.
YOU'LL GROW CLOSER TO HIM,
AND YOUR INTIMACY WILL BE
INCREASED, AND AT THE SAME
TIME YOU'LL GET FREE OF
THIS.
DO IT ONE DAY AT A TIME.
TODAY I'M NOT GOING TO WATCH
PORN.
TODAY I'M NOT GOING TO WATCH
PORN.
21 DAYS IS WHAT IT TAKES TO
BREAK A HABIT.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME, DON'T
BOTTLE IT UP AND FEEL THAT
SHAME BECAUSE IT WILL KILL
YOU.
Terry: THAT'S ALL OF
THE TIME WE HAVE FOR TODAY,
BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR
QUESTIONS.
> WELL, WHEN LARRY THOMAS
CLEANED HIS BASEMENT, HE
STIRRED UP A LOT OF DUST.
AND HE ALSO AGGRAVATED HIS
ALLERGIES.
THE NEXT THING HE KNEW,
LARRY WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN HE
COULDN'T EVEN EAT, AND
DOCTORS COULDN'T DO ANYTHING
TO HELP HIM.
MY WIFE AND I DECIDED TO
CLEAN UP THE BASEMENT, WHICH
WAS EXTREMELY DUSTY, AND I'M
A BIT ALLERGIC TO DUST.
ALL OF A SUDDEN I GOT THIS
COUGH, AND I PICKED UP THIS
ASTHMA SPRAY AND TER ROYD
STEROID AND STARTED USING
THEM.
I FAILED TO FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS, LIKE MUS MOST
MEN WILL DO, ACCORDING TO MY
WIFEMENWIFE.
AND I DIDN'T RINSE MY
MOUTH.
AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW,
I'VE GOT THIS AWFUL COATING
ALL OVER MY TONGUE.
I HAD OPEN SORES IN THE BACK
OF MY THROAT AND UP ALONG MY
GUMS.
AND I THOUGHT, WHAT IS GOING
ON.
SO I WENT TO THE DOCTOR, AND
THEY DIAGNOSED ME WITH A
VIRUS, A FUNGUS FROM THE
STEROID, AND THEY GAVE ME
THIS MOUTHWASH.
THE MOUTHWASH DOESN'T TAKE
AWAY THE PAIN.
IT WAS SO BAD THAT I WOULD
LITERALLY HAVE TO TAKE MY
THUMB AND PRESS UNDER MY JAW
BECAUSE THE PAIN WAS SO BAD
IT WAS CLEAR UP INTO MY EAR
WHEN I SWALLOWED.
I WAS BEGINNING TO
DEHYDRATE.
I WAS BEGINNING TO LOSE
WEIGHT.
THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS
NOTHING MEDICALLY THEY COULD
DO TO GET RID OF IT.
I ACTUALLY PRAYED TO GOD,
FATHER, TAKE THIS PAIN AWAY
FROM ME.
AND I FIGURED SOMETHING WAS
GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE YOU
CAN'T ASK THAT YOU DON'T
RECEIVE.
AND I JUST WAS SITTING HERE
WATCHING "THE 700 CLUB" ONE
MORNING, AND TERRY GAVE THIS
WORD OF KNOWLEDGE.
Terry: AND THERE IS
SOMEONE ELSE, YOU HAVE
LESIONS ALL OVER YOUR TONGUE
AND THE INSIDE OF YOUR
MOUTH, ALSO VERY PAINFUL.
GOD IS HEALING THAT
CONDITION FOR YOU.
WHAT HAS STAYED AND LINGERED
IS GOING TO GRADUALLY,
SLOWLY GO AWAY AND YOU'LL
NOT HAVE IT AGAIN.
THE FIRST THING I SAID
IS, THAT'S FOR ME.
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I
REALIZED THAT THE PAIN IN MY
THROAT WAS GONE.
AND I WAS SWALLOWING.
AND I WENT OUT AND I HAD
BREAKFAST.
AND I WAS ABLE TO ENJOY MY
BREAKFAST FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN QUITE A WHILE.
AND IT WAS JUST LIKE THOSE
LESIONS WERE JUST LIKE I'S
ICEBERGS.
I AM SO THANKFUL RIGHT NOW
FOR THE LOVE AND HEALING
POWER OF OUR LORD JESUS
CHRIST.
AND THAT HE IS STILL THE
SAME TODAY, YESTERDAY, AND
FOREVER.
BECAUSE WE CAN ALWAYS GO TO
HIM.
WE HAVE TO DEPEND ON GOD'S
TIME.
SOMETIMES WE JUST HAVE TO
CONTINUE TO PRAY BECAUSE GOD
WILL HEAL US.
THAT'S A PROMISE.
HE DIDN'T SAY, BY MY STRIPES
YOU MIGHT BE HEALED.
JESUS SAID BY HIS STRIPES WE
ARE HEALED.
JUST EXERCISE YOUR FAITH.
JUST BELIEVE IT.
BELIEVE THAT IT IS FOR YOU
AND ACCEPT IT.
Terry: THAT'S THE WORD
FOR YOU TODAY, BELIEVE THAT
IT IS FOR YOU AND ACCEPT
IT.
GOD IS POWERFUL AND GOOD.
AND WE'VE GOT OTHER
TESTIMONY HERE.
THIS IS PAM WHO LIVES IN --
I THINK IT IS UTAH, AND SHE
HAD A PERSISTENT PAIN ON HER
NECK.
THE VISIBLE LUMP WAS SO SORE
SHE COULDN'T EVEN TOUCH IT
WITHOUT HURTING.
HER DOCTOR REFERRED HER TO A
SPECIALIST WHO DETERMINED
SHE HAD CALCIUM STONES IN
HER SALIVA GLANDS.
LAST MONTH WHILE WATCHING
THIS PROGRAM, PAT, YOU GAVE
THIS WORD: "SOMEBODY HAS A
THROAT CONDITION, AND GOD IS
HEALING IT JUST NOW.
PAM ACCEPTED THE WORD FOR
HERSELF, AND WITHIN 24 HOURS
THE LUMP ON HER NECK
DISAPPEARED AND THE PAIN WAS
TOTALLY GONE."
Pat: ELSE, YOU HAVE AN
ISSUE WERE YOU YOU WITH
YOUR BACK AND IT DOESN'T
ALLOW YOU TO STAND UP
STRAIGHT.
JUST LIFT UP NOW.
GOD IS SETTING YOU FREE.
AND RONALD HAD THAT PROBLEM,
AND HE IS NOW FREE.
> FOLKS, WE'VE JUST GOT A
MINUTE OR SO, BUTTER TE BUT
TERRY AND I ARE GOING TO
JOIN HANDS.
LORD, WE BLESS YOU.
GOD, WE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE
MIRACLE POWER OF GOD.
WE DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU
CREATED THE UNIVERSE AND THE
POWER THAT IS IN YOU.
BUT WE KNOW YOU SAID IT IS
TRUE, AND WE BELIEVE IT.
SO WE BELIEVE RIGHT NOW FOR
THE AUDIENCE WATCHING.
A NECK MUSCLE HAS POPPED OUT
OF PLACE, AND IT'S KIND OF A
SWELLING.
PUT YOUR HAND ON IT.
THE LORD JUST HEALED IT
RIGHT NOW.
TERRY?
Terry: SOMEONE IS IN A
LEGAL BATTLE, AND IT
INVOLVES A LOT OF MONEY AND
AN ESTATE ISSUE.
YOU ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT
THIS.
GOD HAS GONE BEFORE YOU IN
THIS AND GIVEN YOU FAVOR.
HAVE FAITH.
Pat: LET PEOPLE BE FREE
FROM FEAR.
YOU HAVE A CLOUD OF FEAR
OVER YOU RIGHT NOW.
IT'S LIKE A DARK CLOUD.
IT IS JUST LEAVING RIGHT
NOW.
THAT FEAR IS LIFTING IN THE
NAME OF JESUS!
AMEN.
GOD BLESS YOU.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US
ON THESE COLD DAYS.
STAY WARM.
STAY HEALTHY, AND STAY
BLESSED.
WE LEAVE YOU WITH TODAY'S
POWER MINUTE FROM ISAIAH 53:
"BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE
HEALED."
TOMORROW, WE HAVE A GUY WITH
AN INTERESTING PAST.
HE USED TO BE A TATTOO
ARTIST.
HE SAYS NOW I'VE FOUND
VICTIMS OF SEX TRAFFICKING,
AND I'M GOING TO TAKE AWAY
THE TATTOOS THAT HAVE BEEN
PLACED ON THEIR BODIES.
IT IS QUITE A STORY.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.
WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
BYE-BYE.
