HE FELT THE NEED FOR SPEED

UNTIL HE

COULDN'T FEEL HIS OWN LEGS.

I JUST PARALYZED MYSELF.

PLUS, THERE WAS NO WAY TO

FIX IT.

A CHILD WHO COULDN'T EAT.

HE COULDN'T KEEP ANYTHING

DOWN.

FROM THE SUPERNATURAL.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

Gordon: WELCOME TO THE "700

CLUB".

FOR TODAY'S TOP STORIES LET'S

GO TO THE

NEWS DESK.

KIM DAVIS REMAINS IN JAIL

FOR

REFUSING TO GIVE MARRIAGE

LICENSES TO

SAME SEX COUPLES.

HUNDREDS RALLIED OUTSIDE THE

CARTER

DETENTION CENTER THIS WEEKEND.

ON

SUNDAY HER JUDGE APPEALED THE

DECISION

FOR REFUSING TO ISSUE MARRIAGE

LICENSES

TO GAY COUPLES. SHE SAYS IT

WOULD

VIOLATE HER RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.

SHE IS

GETTING PRESSURE FROM ALL SIDES

AND

FROM THOSE ASKING HER TO BACK

DOWN.

SHE'S A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE.

SHE'S

NOT RUNNING A RUSH. IN TERMS OF

HER

RESPONSIBILITY, I THINK SHE HAS

TO

COMPLY.

SHE'S COMMITTED TO FOLLOWING

HER

CONSCIENCE AND KEEPING HER JOB.

SHE HAS NO IDEA TO STEPPING

DOWN.

SHE LOVES HER JOB.

THEY ARE ASKING TO REMOVE

HER FROM

ISSUING CERTIFICATES.

THIS IS COSTING NOTHING.

THIS PROBLEM IS UNTIL

LAWMAKERS MEET

IN JANUARY.

WHEN IS IT THAT LIBERALS GET

TO

CHOOSE WHICH LAWS WHEN A WOMAN

IS

CRIMINALIZED JAIL WITHOUT BAIL.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE MIKE

HUCKABEE

WILL HOLD A RALLY TUESDAY TO

SUPPORT

DAVIS. DAVIS WILL STAY IN JAIL

FOR AT

LEAST A WEEK AND COULD STAY

LONGER IF

SHE DOES NOT OBEY HIS ORDER.

PEOPLE

WHO CALL THEMSELVES RUNNERS

DON'T STAND

OUT WIN GOLD OR BREAK ANY

RECORDS.

WE HAVE A SPORTS ATHLETE WHO

CAN PROVE

IT'S SPORTS FOR EVERYONE.

WASHINGTON D.C. IS NOT JUST

FOR

PUBLIC OFFICE. YOU WILL SEE

PEOPLE

POUNDING THE PAVEMENT AT ALL

TIMES.

I WENT TO THE GYM TO GET

BETTER FOR

MYSELF.

SHE NEVER WANTED TO BE A

RUNNER.

AFTER TRAINING FOR MONTHS, I

THOUGHT

YOU KNOW THESE RACES HAPPEN ALL

THE

TIME. I BET IT WOULD BE FUN TO

DO.

SHE SIGNED UP FOR ONE OF

THOSE RACES

IN 2012.

I SIGNED UP FOR ONE AND

ANOTHER AND

I MASSED THIS INCREDIBLE GROUP

OF

RUNNING FRIENDS AND THEY

ENCOURAGED ME

ALONG THE WAY.

DESPITE HER ENTHUSIASM,

SHE'S NOT

YOUR TYPICAL RUNNER BORN WITH

CEREBRAL

PALSY.

IT'S A LIFE EXPERIENCE AND A

CULTURAL WAY YOU VIEW THOSE

AROUND YOU.

SHE INSPIRES CHEERS FROM

THOSE

AROUND HER AND HER FELLOW

RUNNERS.

IF YOU THINK YOUR LEG IS

SORE AND

YOU SEE SOMEONE LIKE HER. IT'S

VERY

INSPIRATIONAL.

SHE'S RAN 34 RACES IN HER

34TH YEAR.

SHE STARTED 2 HOURS BEFORE

ANYONE ELSE.

CBN NEWS WAS THERE AS SHE

CROSSED THE

FINISH LINE AND MET HER GOAL.

THIS IS YOUR FIRST 10 MILER.

HOW ARE

YOU FEELING?

I FEEL AMAZING. I FEEL LIKE

I CAN DO

ANYTHING.

HER BEST FRIEND KATIE CAME

FROM

TEXAS.

SHE'S THE MOST UP BEAT

CARING PERSON

I HAVE MET IN MY LIFE.

IT'S PART OF HER LIFE

HELPING PEOPLE

WITH DISABILITIES FIND JOBS.

I WOULD NEVER ATTEMPT TO

SPEAK FOR

PEOPLE WITH ALL DISABILITIES, I

DON'T.

RIGHT? BUT IF I CAN CHANGE THE

WAY

THAT 1 PERSON INTERACTS OR

THINKS ABOUT

INTERACTING WITH PEOPLE WITH

DISABILITIES THAT'S GREAT.

SHE CLIMBED A VOLCANO WITH A

SMILE

ON HER FACE AT ALL TIMES. SHE

DOESN'T

LET ANYTHING STOP HER.

AMY WHO IS A MORE CONFIDENT

RUNNER

HAS LEARNED THAT TOO.

I HAVE LEARNED THAT I CAN

DO

ANYTHING I SET MY MIND TO.

THAT RUNNERS STAND OUT, THAT

LEAD

THE PACK, THOSE WHO PLAY TO THE

CROWD

AND OTHERS LIKE JAMIE WHO

SIMPLY

INSPIRE.

> IN TODAY'S EDITION OF

FAMILY

ENTERTAINMENT NEWS, A GREAT

WEEKEND FOR

THE BOX OFFICE. "WAR ROOM" A

FILM THAT

HELPS WITH PRAYER TO WIN A

DIFFICULT

MARRIAGE. IT'S MADE OVER $9

MILLION.

AND SO FAR ALMOST BROUGHT IN

ALMOST $25

MILLION. THOSE ARE TODAY'S TOP

STORIES.

Gordon: REVIVAL IS UNDER WAY

AND ONE

OF THE MOST UNLIKELY PLACES ON

EARTH,

THE ISLAMIC COUNTRY OF IRAN.

PEOPLE ARE

RISKING THEIR LIVES TO WORSHIP

JESUS

AND MANY HAVE FLED TO TURKEY TO

ESCAPE

PERSECUTION.

WHEN SOMEONE GETS BAPTIZED

IN THIS

HOUSE CHURCH, PEOPLE CHEER

WHILE THEY

SUFFER PERSECUTION AND RISK

THEIR LIVES

THEY FACE AN INFECTIOUS JOY.

GROWING UP I GREW UP JESUS

CHRIST

BECAUSE ALL THE TIME HIS NAME

WAS ON MY

MIND. THE NEXT MOMENT I STARTED

LIKING

CHRISTIANITY WAS REALLY SWEET

TO ME.

THE FEELING, THE STORIES,

EVERYTHING.

SO BY THE TIME I WAS 16 I

BELIEVED IN

HIM AND SAID I WANT TO BE

CHRISTIAN.

MANY IRANIAN CHRISTIANS HAVE

FLED

IRAN AND COME TO TURKEY AND

SEEKING

ASYLUM FROM THE UNITED NATIONS.

I CAN PRAISE THE LORD, I

CAN GO TO

CHURCH. IT'S COMPLETELY

DIFFERENT.

AS THE CHURCH LED BY THE

PASTOR WHO

WAS A PRISONER IN IRAN FOR HIS

CHRISTIAN FAITH. LATER HE FOUND

HIMSELF

ON THE RUN.

I CAME OUT OF IRAN BECAUSE

DAY BY

DAY THIS SITUATION HAD BEEN

MORE

DIFFICULT AND RISKY FOR ME

ALSO. I HAD

TO CHANGE OUR HOME BECAUSE I

WAS SURE

THAT 1 DAY THEY WOULD REALIZE

THAT OUR

HOME IS AN UNDERGROUND FOR THIS

AND BE

RECOGNIZED.

OTHERS FLED FOR THEIR LIVES

LIKE

REZA.

IT WAS HARD FOR ME. I

COULDN'T

PRAISE GOD WITH ALL OF MY

HEART. EVEN

IF I SAID JESUS CHRIST. THEY

WOULD KILL

ME.

THEY TRIED TO KILL ME ALSO.

THEN I

START TO RUN AWAY.

DESPITE THE CONSTANT THREAT,

DANGER

AND RISK. THEY KEEP THE FAITH.

NOW THEY

FIND IN THEIR HOME AND FAMILY.

THE

PASTOR AS WELL AS THE U.S.

CANDIDATE IN

MALAYSIA, ALL VIA SKYPE.

THROUGH INTERNET I CONNECT

WITH

EVERYBODY. THAT'S WHY IT'S

BECOME LIKE

AN INTERNET CHURCH.

HE SAYS REVIVAL IS UNDER WAY

WITHIN

THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN.

THERE WERE 300,000

BELIEVERS, NOW

THERE IS 3 MILLION.

MANY CAME WITH THE DREAM OR

VISION.

I DREAM ALL THE WAY BACK. IN

ALL OF

MY LIFE HE WAS HELPING ME AND I

DIDN'T

KNOW WHO IS THIS PERSON. BUT

THEN JESUS

CHRIST WAS THERE AND HE SAID

COME TO

ME. THEN I'M TO THAT SIDE.

DESPITE THE HARDSHIP AND

BEING

FOREIGN FROM THEIR HOMELAND,

THEY ARE

SEEKING JOY AND SEEKING STATUS

AND

FREEDOM FROM THEIR COUNTRY.

THEY WANT

TO PRAY FOR THOSE IN IRAN.

WE PRAY FOR ALL THE SISTERS

AND

BROTHERS FROM ALL OVER THE

WORLD TO

PRAY FOR IRAN AND BE FAMILIAR

WITH GOD,

WITH JESUS CHRIST.

CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,

CENTRAL

TURKEY.

Gordon: WHAT A WONDERFUL

REPORT.

JESUS SHOWING UP IN PERSON TO

DRAW

PEOPLE TO HIM. COME TO ME. PRAY

FOR

THAT. PRAY FOR MORE OF THAT TO

HAPPEN

THROUGHOUT THE MUSLIM WORLD. WE

LIVE IN

INTERESTING TIMES AND IT'S THE

BEST OF

TIMES AND THE WORST OF TIMES

ALL AT

ONCE. WHEN YOU HEAR THE REPORTS

COMING

OUT OF OF IRAQ AND ISIS

LITERALLY

DRAWING PEOPLE OUT SAYING IF

YOU DON'T

CONVERT TO ISLAM YOU ARE GOING

TO BE

KILLED. REPORTS COMING OUT OF

ISIS

CONTROLLED AREAS IN SYRIA WHERE

CHRISTIANS ARE BEING CRUCIFIED

AND

THAT'S THE SURREAL LAW RESPONSE

OF A

MUSLIM CONVERTS TO

CHRISTIANITY, DEATH

BY CRUCIFIXION. THEN YOU HEAR A

REPORT

OUT OF IRAN, OKAY, THERE COULD

BE

REVIVAL THERE. IN THE MIDST OF

PERSECUTION. THE BLOOD OF THE

MARTYRS

IS THE SEED OF THE CHURCH.

LET'S PRAY

THE WORD WON'T CHOKE OUT THE

WORD HERE

AND LET'S PRAY FOR WHAT'S GOING

ON IN

THE WORLD.

Terry: THE NEED FOR SPEED.

I WAS TOLD THE GUYS I RODE

WITH,

DON'T TRY TO KEEP UP UNLESS YOU

ARE

PREPARED TO CALL 911. IF YOU

ARE NOT

CRASHING ONCE IN A WHILE, YOU

ARE NOT

RIDING FAST ENOUGH. I FELT

INVISIBLE.

WATCH WHEN THIS NEAR FATAL

CRASH

LEAVES HIS PARALYZED.

LEAVES HIS PARALYZED.

HE WAS ADDICTED TO THE

THRILL OF

RIDING MOTORCROSS, EXTREME

MOTORCROSS.

THE BIGGER THE RISK, THE

BETTER. AFTER

HE CRASHED HE SOON GOT BACK ON

HIS BIKE

AND GUNNED IT AND THEN 1 DAY HE

FLEW

OVER THE HE HANDLE BARS AND

COULDN'T

GET BACK UP.

BEING IN MOTORCROSS, YOU HAD

TO BE

GOOD. I WAS INTO ALL OF THAT.

THE

FASTER THE BETTER, THE HIGHER

THE

JUMPS, THE BETTER.

GL WOODS LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT

MOTORCROSS, THE THRILL,

EXCITEMENT AND

DANGER.

MY NUMBER PLATE ON MY

MOTORCYCLE WAS

911. I WAS TOLD BY THE GUYS I

RODE

WITH, DON'T KEEP UP UNLESS YOU

ARE

PREPARED TO CALL 911. BROKEN

BONES WAS

NO DIFFERENT THAN BUYING BOOTS

AND

EQUIPMENT. IF YOU ARE NOT

CRASHING ONCE

IN A WHILE, YOU ARE NOT RIDING

FAST

ENOUGH. I FELT INVINCIBLE.

I BROKE MY BACK IN FOUR

PLACES. 18

YEARS OLD, I HEALED PRETTY

QUICK. I HAD

ACTUALLY GONE THROUGH ONE OF

THE WORST

ACCIDENTS I WOULD GO THROUGH

AND WOULD

RECOVER FINE FROM IT. IT GAVE

ME A

FARTHER SENSE OF IN VINCE

VINCIBLITY.

I WAS TOO BUSY FOR GOD AND

TOO BUSY

FOR THAT RELATIONSHIP. I KNEW

WHO HE

WAS BUT I DIDN'T TAKE TIME TO

REALLY

UNDERSTAND HIM.

EVENTUALLY HE MARRIED TINA

AND THEY

HAD TWO CHILDREN. HE ALSO

BECAME A

SUCCESSFUL FINANCIAL PLANNER.

EVEN NOW

IN HIS LATE 30s HE WAS STILL

RIDING

MOTORCROSS BIKES AND STILL

FEELING

INVINCIBLE.

WHEN I HAD MY CHILDREN, I

BROKE TWO

SHIN BONES AND I WAS BACK ON

THE BIKE

AGAIN.

NOW MAKING MONEY AND

MOTORCROSS WERE

THE ONLY THINGS THAT MATTERED.

I KNEW THERE WERE PARTS OF

MY LIFE

WHERE I WASN'T PLEASING GOD. I

MADE

SURE BEFORE I DIE I WOULD

CHANGE. I

WOULD RECONCILE WITH GOD, MAKE

THINGS

RIGHT.

GL ALMOST DIDN'T GET THAT

CHANCE. IN

2004 HE WAS RIDING WITH A

FRIEND IN THE

COAL MINING COUNTRY OF WEST

VIRGINIA.

I CAME AROUND THE CORNER

AND

REALIZED THERE WERE PEOPLE

COMING IN

ATV'S AND WE WERE GOING UP THE

MOUNTAIN

AND THEY WERE GOING DOWN THE

MOUNTAIN.

I WENT OVER THE HANDLE BARS. IT

HAPPENED SO FAST. WHEN IT CAME

TO A

STOP I WAS ON MY BACK AND I WAS

IN THE

AIR AND I COULDN'T CATCH MY

BREATH AT

THAT MOMENT I PANICKED BECAUSE

I

REALIZED I HAD NOT KNOCK THE

WINDS OUT

OF MYSELF, I WAS PARALYZED.

HE CALLED.

I FELT THE MOMENT OF TRUTH.

AT THAT

VERY MOMENT I DIDN'T HAVE ONE

SINGLE

THOUGHT ABOUT HOW BIG MY HOW

WAS WAS OR

HOW MUCH MONEY I HAD IN THE

BANK OR

WHAT I HAD PARKED IN THE

DRIVEWAY.

LEGISLATE -- LAYING ON THE

GROUND, THE

ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF WAS

MY KIDS.

HE CALLED HIS WIFE.

I DIDN'T WANT TO THINK IT

WAS TRUE.

HIS DOCTOR SAID HIS

PROGNOSIS WAS

BLEAK.

I ASKED THE DOCTOR, HOW LONG

AM I

GOING TO BE PARALYZED. HE SAID,

I'M

SORRY, I DON'T THINK YOU

UNDERSTAND

WHAT'S BEEN DONE TO YOU.

I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. HERE

I'M LIVING

THE LIFE OF A 911 MENTALITY.

ALL OF A

SUDDEN THAT MENTALITY BECAME

REALITY. I

THOUGHT I'M NOT INVINCIBLE.

HE WAS SENT TO HOSPITAL TO

RECOVER.

THE ODDS WERE STILL NOT GOOD.

HE WHO EXALTS HIMSELF MAYBE

HUMBLED

BUT I SPENT MOST OF MY LIFE

EXALTING

MYSELF AND HAVING TO COUNT ON

STRANGERS

TO CARE FOR ME. I'M NOT STRONG

FOR THIS.

GL WAS READY TO GIVE UP AND

ASKING

GOD TO LET HIM DIE. ABOUT THAT

TIME, A

FRIEND'S DAD CAME TO VISIT HIM

AND

ASKED HIM TOUGH QUESTIONS.

WHAT HE ASKED ME WAS, IF GOD

DECIDED

TO END YOUR LIFE THAT DAY,

WOULD YOU

HAVE BEEN AT LEAST READY?

I THOUGHT, I DON'T KNOW.

HE SAYS, LET ME TELL YOU

SOMETHING,

BOY, IF THE ANSWER TO THAT

QUESTION IS

I DON'T KNOW, IT'S NO.

I SPENT ALL OF MY LIFE THINKING

I HAD

PLENTY OF TIME. I WILL CHANGE,

I WILL

RECONCILE WITH GOD WHEN I GOT

AROUND TO

IT. THAT RIDICULOUS THINKING

NOT ONLY

COST ME THE PHYSICAL LIFE, BUT

IT COULD

HAVE EASILY COST ME MY ETERNAL

LIFE.

AFTER THAT VISIT, GL CRIED

OUT TO

GOD.

I REMEMBER FEELING COMFORT,

THE

FEELING I WAS GOING TO BE OKAY.

I WAS

GOING TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT.

THAT WAS

MY TURNING POINT. I FINALLY

DECIDED I'M

GOING TO MAKE IT. I'M GOING TO

GIVE

BACK SOMEWAY TO BEING THE

HUSBAND TO MY

WIFE THAT SHE NEEDED. I'M GOING

TO FIND

SOMEWAY TO BE THE DAD TO MY

KIDS THAT

THEY NEEDED. I WAS GOING TO

FIGHT.

ONE OF THE THERAPIST SAID,

WHILE YOU

ARE HERE WITH US, WE WOULD LIKE

TO GET

YOU SOME GOALS. WHAT WOULD YOU

LIKE TO

ACCOMPLISH HERE?

I SAID I WANT TO WALK AGAIN.

THEY SAID

WAIT, LET'S NOT GET CARRIED

AWAY.

HE STARTED TO IMPROVE.

ALL OF A SUDDEN ONE OF MY

FINGERS

WENT LIKE THIS. SO TIME WENT

FROM THIS

TO THIS TO THIS AND THINGS

STARTED

HAPPENING. AND THEY WERE AMAZED.

6 MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT.

GL TOOK

HIS FIRST STEPS. GL WROTE ABOUT

THE

EXTENT AND HIS JOURNEY OF FAITH

OF NINE

-- 9-1-1. HE KNOWS THAT GOD

CONTROLS

HIS LIFE.

DON'T TAKE THE TIME THAT YOU

THINK

YOU YOU HAVE BECAUSE YOU DON'T

KNOW.

YOU MAY NOT BE GIVEN A CHANCE.

I THINK

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE TAKE OUR

KNOWLEDGE OF HIM, TAKE OUR LOVE

OF HIM

AND DO SOMETHING WITH IT. I

DON'T

UNDERSTAND WHY GOD'S DONE FOR

ME WHAT

HE'S DONE BUT I WILL SPEND THE

REST OF

MY LIFE PROVING IT.

YOU CAN SPEND THE REST OF

YOUR LIFE

LIVING FOR HIM AND UNDERSTAND

THAT'S

WHAT YOU ARE MADE TO DO.

UNDERSTAND

THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TOMORROW

GUARANTEED

TO YOU. DON'T WAIT FOR A SECOND

CHANCE.

TAKE THE CHANCE NOW. TAKE

WHAT'S

OFFERED TO YOU NOW. THE BIBLE

SAYS

TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION.

NONE OF

US ARE GUARANTEED TOMORROW.

HERE IS A THOUGHT FOR YOU. IF

YOU LIKE

G L AND SAYING I WILL GET

AROUND TO GOD

LATER. I WANT TO LIVE MY LIFE

AND AT

SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE I'M

GOING TO

GET RIGHT WITH HIM. THINK ABOUT

THIS,

YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN HEAVEN.

IT'S

WHAT YOU ARE PLANNING TO DO.

YOU ARE

GOING TO BE IN HEAVEN AND

ETERNITY IS A

LONG TIME AND YOU ARE GOING TO

HAVE A

LONG TIME TO THINK BACK OF WHAT

YOU

COULD HAVE DONE WHILE YOU WERE

ON

EARTH. HOW MANY PEOPLE COULD

YOU HAVE

HELPED. WHAT GOOD THINGS COULD

YOU HAVE

DONE? OUR TIME HERE IS VERY

FLEETING

AND OUR ETERNITY WITH HIM IS

VERY LONG.

DON'T SPEND THAT ETERNITY

REGRETTING

WHAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE HERE.

WHERE DOES THIS START? IT

STARTS WITH

YOU JUST LIKE GL IS SAYING, I

SURRENDER. I GIVE MY ALL.

DON'T DO THAT FROM THE HOSPITAL

BED,

DON'T DO THAT FROM A PRISON

CELL. DON'T

DO THAT FROM THE POINT WHERE

YOU ARE

REALLY IN TROUBLE. DO IT NOW SO

THAT

YOU CAN LIVE THE LIFE OF

ADVENTURE THAT

GOD HAS MAPPED OUT FOR YOU. HIS

WORD

PROMISES US THAT FROM THE

FOUNDATION OF

THE WORLD HE HAS CREATED GOOD

WORKS FOR

US TO WALK INTO. THINGS THAT

WILL

SATISFY US, SATISFY THE VERY

DESIRES OF

OUR HEARTS. HE'S MADE US FOR

THAT. HE'S

MADE US FOR THAT RELATIONSHIP.

DON'T

MISS OUT ON ANY OF THAT FOR

YOU.

RESOLVE TODAY THAT YOU WANT TO

FULFILL

THEM ALL. IT STARTS WITH THAT

SIMPLE

SURRENDER. SAY, LORD, I WANT

YOU LORD

OF MY LIFE. I DON'T WANT YOU

JUST TO BE

A SAVIOR, I WANT TO LIVE FOR

YOU AND DO

THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE ASKED

ME TO

DO. THINGS THAT YOU HAVE

PREPARED ME TO

DO. I WANT TO DO THEM ALL.

FOR SOME OF YOU, YOU'VE MADE A

COMMITMENT AND FOR WHATEVER

REASON JUST

LIKE GL YOU WALKED AWAY FROM

IT. YOU

HAD OTHER THINGS TO DO AND YOU

LET LIFE

GET VERY BUSY SO THAT BUSY LIFE

IS GONE

OUT OF YOUR LIFE. FOR SOME OF

YOU, THIS

IS BRAND NEW TO YOU. YOU NEVER

HEARD

ABOUT THIS. FOR YOU, THIS IS A

SPECIAL

PRAYER. JESUS, IF THIS IS REAL,

IF YOU

ARE REALLY A SAVIOR, IF YOU

REALLY HAVE

A PLAN FOR ME, IF YOU REALLY

HAVE A

PURPOSE FOR ME, COULD YOU SHOW

ME.

FOR THOSE OF YOU LIKE GL, YOU

MADE A

COMMITMENT AND YOU WALKED AWAY

FROM IT.

HE'LL TAKE YOU BACK. HE'S THERE

WITH

OPEN ARMS. AND HE'S SAYING COME

ONTO ME

ALL YOU WHO ARE WEARY AND HEAVY

LADDEN

AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. YOU

HAVE

GOTTEN SO BUSY WITH LIFE THAT

YOU HAVE

FORGOTTEN HOW TO LIVE FOR HIM.

REALIZE

HE'S STILL THERE FOR YOU. ALL

YOU HAVE

TO DO IS ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND

ASK. ASK

FOR THAT JOY OF YOUR SALVATION

TO BE

RESTORED. PLEDGE TO HIM THAT

YOU WANT

TO MAKE HIM LORD OF YOUR LIFE.

LET'S DO

THAT RIGHT NOW. DON'T WAIT FOR

TOMORROW, DON'T WAIT FOR

ANOTHER

CHANCE. LET TODAY BE THAT

CHANCE THAT

YOU SAY, LORD, I WANT IT YOUR

WAY, NOT

MY WAY. ONLY YOUR WAY. PRAY

WITH ME.

JESUS, THAT'S RIGHT, SAY IT OUT

LOUD.

JESUS, I COME TO YOU AND TODAY

I WANT

TO DECLARE TO YOU THAT I WANT

YOU AS

LORD OF MY LIFE. I DON'T WANT

TO LIVE

LIFE ON MY TERMS. I WANT TO

LIVE LIFE

ON YOUR TERMS BECAUSE I KNOW

THAT YOUR

PLANS ARE BETTER THAN MY PLANS.

YOUR

WAY IS BETTER THAN MY WAY. SO,

JESUS, I

DEDICATE MY LIFE TO YOU AND I

ASK THAT

YOU COME INTO MY HEART. I ASK

THAT YOU

FILL ME WITH YOUR JOY AND I ASK

THAT

YOU SHOW ME THE PURPOSE THAT

YOU HAVE

FOR ME. THE GOOD WORKS THAT YOU

HAVE

CREATED FOR ME TO DO. HEAR MY

PRAYER.

COME INTO MY HEART, FORGIVE ME

OF ALL

THE THINGS THAT I HAVE DONE

WRONG.

FORGIVE ME FOR MY OWN SELF WILL.

AND, LORD, IF YOU WILL DO THIS,

IF YOU

WILL COME IN, I WANT TO FOLLOW

YOU ALL

THE DAYS OF MY LIFE. HEAR MY

PRAYER FOR

I PRAY IT IN JESUS' NAME.

FATHER, I ASK RIGHT NOW FOR

THOSE WHO

PRAYED, I ASK THAT YOU FILL

THEM WITH

JOY, FILL THEM, BAPTIZE THEM IN

YOUR

LOVE. LET THEM KNOW THAT THEIR

PRAYER

HAS BEEN HEARD AND ANSWERED

TODAY. FOR

I ASK IT IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.

WELCOME TO THE CBN

NEWSBREAK.

HUNDREDS OF MUSLIMS ARE TURNING

TO THE

CHRISTIAN CHURCH FROM 150 TO

600

MEMBERS IN A FEW YEARS FLEEING

FROM

IRAN AND AFGHANISTAN.

I FEEL LIKE I AM BORN AGAIN.

THE PASTOR SAYS THAT 90% OF

THOSE

BAPTIZED RETURN TO THE CHURCH.

HUNDREDS ARE FLEEING FROM

THE

FLOODS. CHILDREN WERE ABLE TO

ENJOY

WATCHING "SUPERBOOK" EPISODES.

Terry: BRITTLE BONE DISEASE

IS RARE.

IN BEIJING, WHILE THERE IS NO

CURE FOR

THIS CONDITION, THERE IS HELP.

STEVEN WAS BORN WITH AN AMAZING

GIFT TO

PLAY THE PIANO. AT 14 YEARS OLD

WITH NO

FORMAL TRAINING, HE PLAYS

BEAUTIFULLY

AND WRITES HIS OWN MUSIC. BUT

STEVEN

WAS ALSO BORN WITH A RARE

GENETIC

DISORDER CALLED BRITTLE BONE

DISEASE.

THAT MEANS HIS BONES ARE NOT

STRONG

ENOUGH TO SUPPORT HIS WEIGHT

AND IT'S

PAINFUL AND CAUSES HIS BONES TO

BEND.

HE STARTED LIFE IN AN ORPHANAGE

AND HE

WAS CARRIED PLACE TO PLACE.

THEN HE

CAME TO LIVE IN A FAMILY HOUSE

AND HIS

LIFE CHANGED DRAMATICALLY.

IMMEDIATELY

HE WAS GIVEN A WHEELCHAIR AND A

FREEDOM

HE HAD NEVER KNOWN.

HE IS ONE OF 29 CHILDREN WHO

LIVE AT

THIS "ORPHAN'S PROMISE" HOME

AND MOST

SUFFER FROM SEVERE FORMS OF

BRITTLE

BONE DISEASE. THEY RECEIVE

CLASSES,

RECEIVE THERAPY AND LIVE A

RELATIVELY

NORMAL LIFE WITH HOUSE PARENTS.

WITHOUT

THIS OUTREACH MOST WOULD BE

SITTING

DESTITUTE IN GOVERNMENT RUN

ORPHANAGES

WITH VERY LITTLE PROMISE. THE

REAL HOPE

FOR THESE CHILDREN STARTED TEN

YEARS

AGO WHEN THEY BROUGHT AMERICAN

DOCTORS

TO TRAIN THE CHINESE WITH

EMERGENCY

PROCEDURES AND THEY LEARNED TO

STRENGTHEN BONES AND IT'S

BECOME

WELL-KNOWN ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

BECAUSE CHILDREN GROW SO

QUICKLY,

SURGEON IS AN ON GOING PROCESS.

A

PROCEDURE IS FOLLOWED BY MONTHS

OF

HEALING AND PHYSICAL THERAPY.

FINALLY

THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO WALK FOR

A SHORT

TIME. BUT WHEN THE BONE BEGINS

TO GROW

AGAIN, WALKING BECOMES PAINFUL

AND THE

CHILD RETURNS TO THE

WHEELCHAIR.

SINCE WE LAST SAW STEVEN HE HAD

SURGERY

NO. 6 REPLACED THE ROD IN HIS

LEFT LEG

BECAUSE HE HAD OUT GROWN THEM.

HE HAS

ONE MORE SURGERY PLANNED. HIS

BONES

WILL ALWAYS BE FRAGILE. HE HAS

TO BE

CAREFUL BUT HE HOPES TO WALK

NORMALLY.

IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE THIS SHY

YOUNG MAN

STUCK IN AN ORPHAN AGE WITH NO

HOPE FOR

A FUTURE. INSTEAD HIS VALUES OF

HIS

DREAMS. HE HOPES TO BECOME A

MUSIC

TEACHER. TRUTH TO THE WORDS OF

THE

AMAZING GRAZE. I ONCE WAS LOST

BUT NOW

I AM FOUND. ORPHAN'S PROMISE TO

HELP

THESE OR PHANS TO HAVE A

HEALTHY AND

PRODUCTIVE LIFE.

"ORPHAN'S PROMISE" TO THE

Gordon: HE SPENT HIS ENTIRE

LIFE

WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO SWALLOW

FOOD.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED. IT'S

THAT MOMENT

IN TIME THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.

WE'LL SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT

HAPPENED

RIGHT AFTER THIS.

RIGHT AFTER THIS.

Gordon: SOME PEOPLE ARE BORN

WITH AN

IRON STOMACH. NOT CHRISTOPHER.

HIS

STOMACH WAS PARALYZED AND HE

COULDN'T

EAT FOR YEARS. HIS FAMILY NEVER

STOPPED

PRAYING FOR A MIRACLE.

HE WAS LOSING WEIGHT AND HE

WOULD

NOT BE ABLE TO SWALLOW OR HOLD

ANYTHING

DOWN. HE WAS NOT GROWING.

THEY WERE BES DESPERATE FOR

SOLUTIONS. THEIR SON WAS BORN

WITH A

SYNDROME AND UNABLE TO STOMACH

ANYTHING.

I DIDN'T KNOW IF HE WAS

GOING TO DIE

OR MAKE IT OR WHAT THAT LOOKED

LIKE. WE

HAD TO ENJOY THE TIME WE HAD

WITH HIM

BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW LONG

THAT

THAT

WAS GOING TO BE.

THAT

THAT

THERE WAS NO WAY TO FIX IT.

THAT

THAT

THE ONLY

THAT

THAT

THING THEY CAN DO WAS MAKE HIM

THAT

THAT

GROW.

THAT

THAT

THE ISSUE WAS NOT HOW ARE WE

THAT

THAT

GOING TO

THAT

THAT

CURE IT. THE ISSUE IS HOW ARE

THAT

THAT

WE GOING

THAT

THAT

TO KEEP HIM ALIVE AND KEEP

THAT

THAT

NUTRITION IN

THAT

THAT

HIS BODY TO KEEP HIM GROWING.

THAT

THAT

DOCTORS CAME UP WITH A

THAT

THAT

PERMANENT

THAT

THAT

SOLUTION. THEY CONNECTED A

THAT

THAT

FEEDING TUBE

THAT

THAT

DIRECTLY INTO HIS INTESTINES

DIRECTLY INTO HIS INTESTINES

BYPASSING

HIS STOMACH.

IT WAS A TOUGH TIME. I

ALWAYS HEARD

THIS LITTLE VOICE AND I WOULD

GET

REALLY UPSET. A WHISPER IN MY

EAR,

DON'T WORRY. IT WILL WORK OUT

IN THE

END.

THE SURGEONS ALLOWED HIM TO

LIVE A

NORMAL LIFE WITHOUT PAIN AND

VOMITING.

I CAN DO EVERYTHING ELSE

ANYBODY CAN

DO. IT WAS DIFFERENT. I WOULD

TRY FOOD

BUT I COULDN'T SWALLOW IT. I

WOULD CHEW

IT AND SPIT IT OUT OR DRAIN IT

OUT AT

THE END OF THE DAY.

WE FIGURED IT OUT. WE DIDN'T

WANT IT

TO BE, I CAN'T DO THIS OR THAT.

WE

WANTED HIM TO BE ABLE TO SAY,

YEAH, I

HAVE THIS FEEDING TUBE. IT'S

GOOD

BECAUSE IF I DIDN'T I WOULDN'T

BE ALIVE

AND I'M GOING TO PRAISE GOD FOR

THAT

AND FIGURE OUT TO DO OTHER

THINGS.

THEY PUMPED FORMULA IN HIS

FEEDING

TUBE DURING THE DAY AND IV

POLES

DURING THE NIGHT AND THEN ONE

DAY HE

BROUGHT HIM TO A HEALING

SERVICE.

WHEN I HEARD HIM TALKING,

THIS WHOLE

ENTIRE TIME.

AFTER THE SERVICE, BRUCE

GATHERED

HIM AND HIS FAMILY TOGETHER AND

PRAYED

FOR A MIRACLE.

I HAD MY HANDS-ON HIS

SHOULDER BUT

IT FELT LIKE HIS WHOLE BODY WAS

SHAKING.

THAT G TUBE WAS VIBRATING

SUPER FAST

UNDER HIS T-SHIRT AND I WAS

LOOKING AT

IT AND WATCHING IT AND I HAD

NEVER SEEN

IT DO THAT BEFORE AND THEN THE

VIBRATION WAS FOLLOWING THE

PATTERN OF

HIS TUBING DOWN TO HIS STOMACH

TO THE

SECOND TUBE, THE J TUBE AND IT

STARTED

THIS TOO AND THE WHOLE THING

WAS DOING

THIS.

I FELT A BIG SHOCK THROUGH

MY

SHOULDER AND STOMACH AND

PULSING. IT

FELT LIKE A POUNDING FEELING IN

MY

STOMACH.

I JUST KNEW WHAT WAS

HAPPENING. HE

WAS BEING HEALED. WHEN WE GOT

OUT TO

THE PARKING LOT, WE WERE JUST

STANDING

THERE AND SAID, WHAT JUST

HAPPENED?

IT WAS ONE MOMENT IN TIME THAT

CHANGES

EVERYTHING.

IT WAS GOD JUMP STARTING MY

STOMACH

UP WITH A SHOCK.

THAT NIGHT THE FAMILY WENT

TO DINNER

AND CHRISTOPHER ATE THE FIRST

MEAL OF

HIS LIFE WITH NO COMPLICATIONS.

I STARTED EATING MORE AND

MORE AND

HAD A BIG SMILE ON MY FACE. I

HAD A

GREAT TIME IN MY LIFE. I HAD A

NICE

DRINK TOO.

CHRISTOPHER HAS BEEN HEALED

COMPLETELY AND HIS FEEDING TUBE

HAS

BEEN REMOVED. THEY ARE THANKFUL

FOR THE

LONG JOURNEY THAT BROUGHT A

MIRACLE

HEALING TO THEIR SON.

THE BETTER THE REWARD.

THAT'S THE

WAY I LOOK AT IT NOW. IT WAS A

LONG

JOURNEY AND WOW, WHAT A REWARD.

GOD IS SO GOOD AND SO BIG

AND SO

COMPASSIONATE. AND HE CAN HEAL

ANYTHING. NOTHING IS

IMPOSSIBLE. WHAT

IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD.

Gordon: ALL THINGS ARE

POSSIBLE WITH

GOD. TAKE A MOMENT AND START

THINKING

HOW BIG IS POSSIBLE? HOW BIG

IS IT?

HOW BIG IS YOUR GOD? IS HE

ABLE TO

PROVIDE FOR YOUR EVERY NEED?

IS HE

ABLE TO DO EXCEEDINGLY

ABUNDANTLY FOR

ALL THE THINGS YOU CAN ASK.

REALIZE WE ARE THE ONES THAT

LIMIT GOD.

IT'S JUST LIKE THE ISRAELITES

IN THE

DESERT. THEY SAW ALL THE

MIRACULOUS AND

THEY STILL LIMITED HIM. DON'T

LIMIT

GOD. LET HIM DO ALL THINGS FOR

YOU.

WHATEVER YOUR NEED IS, WE ARE

GOING TO

PRAY AND WE ARE GOING TO

BELIEVE.

THE BIBLE SAYS IF YOU BELIEVE,

ALL

THINGS ARE POSSIBLE FOR THEM

WHO

BELIEVE. BEFORE WE PRAY, WE'VE

GOT SOME

OTHER MIRACLES FOR YOU.

HERE IS ONE FROM MASSACHUSETTS,

GLADYS,

SHE COULDN'T WALK WITHOUT A

LIMP, SHE

HAS CIRCULATION ISSUES AND ALSO

SUFFERS

FROM SEVERE ITCHING FROM HER

EARS. SHE

SAW SEVERAL DOCTORS AND NONE

COULD

HELP. LAST MAY, SOMEONE ELSE

SAID, YOU

HAVE AN ISSUE WITH YOUR EARS

AND I

DON'T KNOW IF IT'S AN INFECTION

BUT

IT'S DEEP INSIDE YOUR EARS AND

GOD IS

HEALING THAT FOR YOU BECAUSE

YOU DIDN'T

REALIZE HOW MUCH YOU WEREN'T

HEARING

UNTIL GOD OPENED THEM UP AGAIN.

SHE

RECEIVED HEALING IN HER HEARING

AND

SOMETHING ELSE. SHE HAD

PROBLEMS WITH

WALKING AND HER LEGS WERE COLD.

GLADYS

CAN NOW WALK WITHOUT LIMPING.

SHE IS

PRAISING GOD FOR HER HEALING.

Terry: SHE WAS IN A CAR

ACCIDENT AND

AFTER PAIN IN HER NEXT AND

HANDS, SHE

WENT TO THE CHIROPRACTOR AND

THEN SHE

DEVELOPED THESE KNOTS IN HER

NECK AND

SHOULDER AND SHE WENT TO THE

EMERGENCY

ROOM AND THEN GORDON YOU GAVE

THE WORD

OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HEALING AND

SHE

CLAIMED THOSE WORDS FOR HERSELF

AND SHE

FELT THE TINGELING IN HER BODY

AND

THERE WERE A FEW TAPPING SOUNDS

AND SHE

WAS HEALED. PRAISE THE LORD.

AMEN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE

POPPING

SOUNDS ARE BUT AMEN. THIS IS

SOMETHING

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BEG GOD FOR.

WITH

YOUR CHILDREN, YOU PROVIDED

EVERY MEAL

FOR THEM. JESUS SAID THIS IS

THE

CHILDREN'S BREAD. HE WANTS TO

GIVE IT

TO YOU. WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS

CONVINCE

YOURSELF THAT THIS IS REAL,

THAT THIS

IS POSSIBLE. BUT LEAVE ALL

YOUR DOUBTS

AND COME TO THE THROWN. LET'S

PRAY.

LORD, WE COME TO YOU NOW AND WE

SPEAK

ON BEHALF OF THOSE WHO ARE

CRYING OUT

FOR HEALING AND WE COME INTO

AGREEMENT

WITH THEM AND WE CLAIM THIS

WONDERFUL

WORD. IF TWO OR MORE AGREE OR

TOUCH

ANYTHING IT SHALL BE DONE. WE

ASK YOU

NOW THAT THIS HEALING FLOW FROM

THEIR

BODY FROM THE TOP OF THEIR

HEADS TO THE

SOLES OF THEIR FEET THEY ARE

RESTORED

AND MADE WHOLE NOW IN JESUS

NAME.

THERE IS SOMEONE WITH A TORN

TRICEPS IN

YOUR ARM. REALIZE THAT YOU HAVE

BEEN

HEALED.

Terry: THERE IS SOMEONE WITH

A

RECURRING PROBLEMS. YOU GET

LITTLE

BLISTERS ON YOUR EYES AND IT'S

VERY

ANNOYING. GOD IS HEALING THAT.

THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE WHO

SUFFERS FROM

SCABIES. GOD IS HEALING THAT

FOR YOU.

Gordon: SOMEONE HAD A CRASH

AND YOU

INJURED THE BACK OF YOUR

SHOULDER AND

YOUR RIB CAGE ON THE RIGHT SIDE

IS OUT

OF ALIGNMENT AND GOD IS HEALING

ALL OF

THAT. HE'S PUTTING YOUR SPINE

BACK INTO

PROPER ALIGNMENT, HE'S TAKING

AWAY ALL

OF THAT PAIN NOW, IN JESUS'

NAME, BE

HEALED.

YOU ARE BACK IN ALIGNMENT.

Gordon: LORD, THANK YOU FOR

BEING THE

HEALER. YOU HAVE DONE MIRACLES

AND YOU

ARE THE SAME TODAY AND FOREVER.

TODAY

WE THANK YOU FOR THE MIRACLES

THAT YOU

HAVE DONE. THANK YOU, LORD.

THANK YOU

FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR

US.

AMEN.

Terry: LET ME TAKE SOME TIME

TO

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS FROM THIS

VIEWER

TODAY. IS IT BIBLICAL, DID

JESUS

MEDITATE. SHOULD CHRISTIANS

STAY AWAY

FROM IT.

Gordon: THERE WAS NO WHERE IN

THE

BIBLE WHERE JESUS MEDITATED. HE

WOULD

SPEND ALL NIGHT IN PRAYER. THE

BIBLE

ENCOURAGES US TO STAY IN THE

WORLD.
