The 700 Club - February 17, 2015

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. Read Transcript


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

BABY VIA IN VITRO

FERTILIZATION?

PAT ANSWERS MARIE'S QUESTION

AND MORE E-MAIL, AND THAT'S

COMING UP.

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.
