COMING UP...

I DIDN'T KNOW HOW I WAS

GOING TO DO IT.

A FATHER WAS PARALYZED.

I LOOKED AT HIM IN HIS

EYES, AND HE WASN'T THERE.

HE WAS, LIKE, MOM, DAD

IS DEAD.

DAD IS DEAD.

I JUST KNEW I HAD TO FIGHT

FOR HIS LIFE.

OUR WEEK OF PRAYER

CONTINUES.

I SERVE A GOD THAT IS

IN THE MIRACLE BUSINESS.

TODAY ON "THE 700

CLUB."

Pat: WELL, WELCOME,

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO

THIS EDITION OF "THE 700

CLUB."

WE'RE SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU

WITH US.

THIS POLITICAL SEASON HAS

REALLY BEEN CRAZY.

IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, YOU

THINK, WHAT MORE CAN

HAPPEN?

ANYHOW, THERE IS A BIG

PRIMARY TODAY.

PENNSYLVANIA AND DELAWARE

AND SO FORTH.

THEN SAY THAT COULD KNOCK

OUT CRUZ.

WE DON'T KNOW.

TRUMP THINKS HE IS AHEAD

IN ALL OF THESE FIVE

STATES.

AND HE IS CALLING ON TED

CRUZ AND JOHN KASICH TO

DROP OUT.

THEY'RE NOT DOING ANY SUCH

THING.

AND, OF COURSE, ON THE

DEMOCRATIC SIDE, HILLARY

CLINTON, IF SHE TAKES

THIS, BERNIE SANDERS IS

PRETTY MUCH FINISHED.

TERRY?

Terry: TRUMP MADE

THAT MOVE AFTER CRUZ AND

KASICH SAID THEY WOULD

WORK TOGETHER TO STOP HIM

FROM WINNING THE

REPUBLICAN NOMINATION.

BUT AS GEORGE THOMAS

REPORTS, THEIR PLAN COULD

BACKFIRE.

GOD BLESS THE GREAT

STATE OF INDIANA.

George: A DAY AFTER

TED CRUZ AND JOHN KASICH

ANNOUNCED AN ALLIANCE TO

STOP TRUMP'S BID FOR THE

WHITE HOUSE, THE

REPUBLICAN FRONT-RUNNER,

FOR THE FIRST TIME, CALLED

ON BOTH OF HIS TWO

COMPETITORS TO GET OUT OF

THE RACE.

WHEN TWO CANDIDATES WHO

HAVE NO PATH TO VICTORY --

THEY HAVE NO PATH --

THEY'RE MATHEMATICALLY

OUT.

THEY OUGHT TO QUIT SO WE

CAN ALL UNIFY AND GO

AGAINST CROOKED HILLARY

CLINTON AND BEAT HER,

REALLY, REALLY BEAT HER,

BIG LEAGUE.

George: TRUMP IS

EXPECTED TO SWEEP TO

VICTORIES IN ALL FIVE

PRIMARIES.

SPEAKING IN PENNSYLVANIA,

HE CALLED THE NEWLY FORMED

CRUZ-KASICH PACT PATHETIC

AND SIGNS OF DESPERATION.

AND SOME THINK THE

ALLIANCE COULD DO MORE TO

HELP TRUMP THAN HURT HIM.

I THINK IT IS JUST

GOING TO -- THE TRUMP

PEOPLE -- IT IS A CYNICAL

PLOY.

IT IS THE ESTABLISHMENT

GANGING UP ON THE VOTERS.

I REALLY DON'T THINK IT

WILL BE VERY EFFECTIVE.

EFFECTIVE.

George: ON THE

DEMOCRATIC SIDE, THE

CLINTON-SANDERS RACE IS

TIGHTENING.

DESPITE THE DEFEAT IN THE

NEW YORK PRIMARY LAST

WEEK, POLLS SHOW SANDERS

UP OR TRAILING CLINTON BY

A FEW PERCENTAGE POINTS IN

THE NORTHERN STATES.

TWO POLLS SHOW DIFFERENT

PICTURES OF THE NATIONAL

RACE BETWEEN THE TWO

FRONT-RUNNERS.

CLINTON LEADS TRUMP 46% TO

43%, BUT .

BUT FOR NOW, TRUMP'S MAIN

GOAL IS TO WIN THE

REPUBLICAN NOMINATION,

SOME BOTH CRUZ AND KASICH

ARE TRYING TO STOP HIM TO

DO SO THEY CAN SET UP A

CONTESTED NOMINATION,

WHERE ONE HOPES TO AGAIN

AGAINSGAINAGAINST TRUMP.

GEORGE THOMAS, CBN NEWS.

Pat: IF YOU THINK

THAT ISN'T CURIOUS, WELL,

THIS IS AMERICA AND THIS

IS A DEMOCRACY AT ITS

FINEST OR ITS LOWEST,

WHICHEVER WAY YOU LOOK AT

IT.

AND IT IS NOT OVER YET.

IN OTHER NEWS, YOU HAVE

HEARD ABOUT THE PROTESTS

AGAINST THE SO-CALLED

BATHROOM BILL IN NORTH

CAROLINA, BUT SUPPORTERS

ARE ALSO MAKING THEIR

VOICES HEARD.

JOHN JESSUP HAS MORE FROM

WASHINGTON.

HERE IS JOHN.

John: THANKS, PAT.

> THOUSANDS OF

SUPPORTERS OF NORTH

CAROLINA'S BATHROOM LAW

ARE RALLYING TO SUPPORT

THE REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR.

PASTORS AND OTHERS SPOKE

AT A RALEIGH I RALLY IN RALEIGH.

MARK PREACH SAYS HE KNOWS

THEY WILL BE ATTACKED BY

OPPOSING ORGANIZATIONS AND

IT COULD COST THEM

POLITICALLY.

THEY HAVE FILED

LEGISLATION TO REPEAL THE

REPUBLICAN-BACKED LAW.

> THE COLORADO STATE

SUPREME COURT IS REFUSING

TO HEAR THE CASE OF A

DENVER BAKER WHO CITED HIS

CHRISTIAN BELIEFS FOR NOT

MAKING A CAKE FOR A

SAME-SEX WEDDING.

THAT MEANS THE LOWER

COURT'S RULING AGAINST

JACK PHILLIPS STANDS,

SAYING HE CANNOT CITE HIS

RELIGIOUS BELIEFS FOR NOT

BAKING A WEDDING CAKE FOR

A GAY COUPLE.

HE SAYS HE DOESN'T MIND

BAKING FOR A GAY COUPLE,

BUT HE WON'T USE HIS

TALENT TO DISPLAY

SOMETHING HE DOESN'T

BELIEVE.

> SAUDI ARABIA HAS

ANNOUNCED A BOLD REFORM

PLAN TO MOVE THE COUNTRY

OFF OF ITS ADDICTION TO

OIL.

THE PROJECT INCLUDES PLANS

TO SELL STOCK IN THE

WORLD'S LARGEST OIL

COMPANY, OWNED BY THE

SAUDI GOVERNMENT.

AND THEY WILL SET UP ONE

OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST

GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT

FUNDS.

AND THE PLAN ALSO INCLUDES

TRIMMING GOVERNMENT PERKS,

AND IT STRESSES EXPANDING

THE ROLE OF WOMEN AND

GIVING THEM JOB

OPPORTUNITIES.

> WELL, GET READY FOR

OBAMACARE INSURANCE

PREMIUMS TO RISE SHARPLY.

MOST INSURANCE COMPANIES

HAVE BEEN LOSING MONEY IN

THE HEALTH CARE MARKET

PLACES, AND NOW THE HILL

NEWSPAPER REPORTS THAT

INSURERS ARE MAKING THE

CASE FOR PREMIUMS TO GO

UP.

THEY SAY FEWER PEOPLE ARE

SIGNING UP AND ARE SICKER.

THE PRICE INCREASES COULD

BECOME AN ISSUE FOR

REPUBLICANS CAMPAIGNING

THIS ELECTION YEAR.

Pat: I HATE TO SAY

IT, BUT OUR WORTHY

PRESIDENT LIED TO US.

REMEMBER?

IF YOU LIKE YOUR DOCTOR,

YOU CAN KEEP HIM.

A LIE.

IF YOU LIKE YOUR

INSURANCE, YOU CAN KEEP

IT.

A LIE.

YOUR PREMIUMS ARE GOING TO

GO DOWN.

A LIE.

AN ABSOLUTE SERIES OF

LIES.

WHY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

STILL GIVE HIM A HIGH

APPROVAL RATING, I DON'T

KNOW.

IT LOOKS LIKE IN THE NEXT

COUPLE OF MONTHS, THESE

INSURANCE EXCHANGES ARE

GOING BANKRUPT, AND THE

ONES THAT AREN'T ARE

RAISING PREMIUMS SHARPLY.

AND, YES, THAT SHOULD BE

AN ISSUE IN THE ELECTION

BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO

HAPPEN.

THEY'VE HELD THEM DOWN FOR

A COUPLE OF YEARS, RATHER

THAN EMBARRASS OBAMA IN

PAST ELECTIONS.

BUT HE IS NOT RUNNING

ANYMORE, SO HE IS GOING TO

SAY, WELL, TOUGH LUCK.

THAT'S FOR SOMEBODY ELSE

TO TAKE CHARGE OF.

BUT IT WAS A DISASTEROUS

POLICY.

WHAT DO THEY WANT TO BRING

IT TO WHEN IT IS ALL SAID

AND DONE?

THEY WANT TO BANKRUPTCY

THESE EXCHANGES, GO, AS

THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO

DO, TO A PREMIUM

SINGLE-PAIR SYSTEM THAT IS

RUN BY THE GOVERNMENT.

THEY WANT TO MOVE ALL

HEALTH CARE TO THE

GOVERNMENT.

AND THAT WAS THE SOCIALIST

AGENDA OF OUR WORTHY

PRESIDENT.

JUST KEEP IT IN MIND.

JOHN?

John: PAT, SPEAKING

OF HEALTH, MOST PEOPLE

BELIEVE THAT VEGETABLE

OILS CAN BE HEALTHY.

WHILE THAT IS TRUE, YOU

HAVE TO BE SURE YOU'RE

USING THE RIGHT KIND AND

IN THE RIGHT BALANCE.

LORIE JOHNSON HAS MORE.

Lorie: MOST AMERICANS

NEED TO CUTAWAY BACK ON

FOODS CONTAINING A NATURAL

INGREDIENT THEY'VE

PROBABLY NEVER EVEN HEARD

OF BUT EAT EVERY DAY.

OMEGA-6 FATS.

THESE FOODS FILL GROCERY

STORES, VENDING MACHINES,

AND RESTAURANTS.

OMEGA-6 FATS ARE IN

VEGETABLE OILS, OFTEN

TOUTED AS HEALTHY

ALTERNATIVES TO TRANS-FATS

AND SATURATED FATS, BUT

THAT COULD BE MISLEADING.

THE PROBLEM ISN'T THAT

OMEGA-6 FATS ARE BAD FOR

YOU, IT IS JUST THAT

EATING TOO MANY OF THEM

CAN CAUSE SERIOUS

PROBLEMS.

DR. MICHAEL ROYCEN

DESCRIBES THE DEADLY

INFLAMMATION THAT CAN COME

FROM LOADING UP ON TOO

MANY FOODS WITH

OMEGA-6s.

IT CAUSES YOUR ARTERIES

TO GET INFLAMED.

IT CAUSES YOUR IMMUNE

SYSTEM TO GET INFLAMED.

AND IT DECREASES YOUR

ABILITY TO FIGHT

INFECTIONS.

IT DECREASES YOUR ABILITY

TO FIND CANCER CELLS AND

GET RID OF THEM BEFORE

THEY CAUSE CANCER.

AND IT INCREASES

IMFLAMMATION IN YOUR

ARTERIES.

Lorie: EXAMPLES OF

FOODS CONTAINING OMEGA-6

FATS ARE PEANUT OIL AND

CANOLA OIL.

SOYBEAN, CORN, SAFFLOWER,

AND SUNFLOWER OILS IN

THOUSANDS OF PROCESSED

FOODS, RANGING FROM

MAYONNAISE AND SALAD

DRESSING TO MICROWAVE

POPCORN AND BAKED GOODS.

HOW MUCH OMEGA-6 FATS

SHOULD WE BE EATING?

ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF

THE OMEGA-3 FAT WE

CONSUME, IN FISH AND FISH

OIL SUPPLEMENTS.

OUR BODIES NEED BOTH

OMEGA-6 AND OMEGA-3 IN

NEARLY EQUAL AMOUNTS.

STRIKING THAT BALANCE IS

TRICKY.

SOME POPULATIONS, LIKE THE

JAPANESE, DO A GOOD JOB.

THE U.S., NOT SO MUCH.

MOST AMERICANS EAT 20

TIMES THE OMEGA-6 FATS

VERSUS OMEGA-3s.

THE RATIO OF OMEGA-6 TO

OMEGA-3 IS IMPORTANT.

THE HIGHER THE RATIO, THE

MORE OMEGA-6, OR THE LESS

OMEGA-3, THE MORE

INFLAMMATION.

Lorie: SO FOODS

CONTAINING OMEGA-6 FATS WE

WOULD DO WELL TO PUSH AWAY

WHILE BUMPING UP OUR

OMEGA-3 INTAKE.

TO LEARN YOUR EXACT

OMEGA-6/OMEGA-3 RATIO, ASK

YOUR DOCTOR FOR A FATTY

ACID BLOOD TEST.

LORIE JOHNSON, CBN NEWS.

John: A LOT OF US

MIGHT WANT TO REEXAMINE

OUR DIETS AFTER WATCHING

LORIE'S REPORT.

Pat: I HAVE A LITTLE

BOTTLE IN MY REFRIGERATOR,

AND IT IS NORWEGIAN COD

LIVER OIL.

Terry: I'M NORWEGIAN

AND I DON'T -- YOU TAKE

THAT?

Pat: THIS DOESN'T

TASTE FISHY.

I DRINK IT OUT OF THE

BOTTLE AND I'VE GOT MY

OMEGA-3s FOR THE DAY.

Terry: OKAY.

Pat: I DON'T WANT YOU

TO HAVE INFLAMMATION AND

ALL OF THOSE OTHER

HORRIBLE THINGS.

OKAY, GO AHEAD.

Terry: COMING UP, HE

IS A FORMER STAR

QUARTERBACK, CONGRESSMAN

AND PASTOR.

J.CJ.C. WATTS TELLS HOW HE

SURVIVED THE TOUGHEST TIME

IN HIS LIFE WHILE LEARNING

TO DIG DEEP.

HE JOINS US LIVE AFTER

Pat: WELCOME BACK.

YOU'RE WATCHING "THE 700

CLUB."

WE'VE GOT A VERY

INTERESTING GUEST FOR YOU

RIGHT NOW.

J.C. WATTS, STAR FOOTBALL

PLAYER, CONGRESSMAN --

INTERESTING GUY.

AND HE HAS WRITTEN A BOOK,

AND WE'LL TELL YOU ABOUT

IT.

LIFE IS HARD AND WE ALL

FACE ADVERSITY AT ONE TIME

OR ANOTHER.

AND THIS MAN HAS KNOWN

TOUGH TIMES, AND HE SAYS

THE WAY TO HANDLE THEM IS

TO, QUOTE,"DIG DEEP."

Terry: AS A STAR

QUEBEC, CONGRESSMAN,

PASTOR, AND NOW BUSINESS

LEADER, J.C. WATTS HAS

LEARNED WHAT IT TAKES TO

OVERCOME, PERSEVERE, AND

SUCCEED.

IN AN INSPIRING AND

PRACTICAL NEW BOOK, CALLED

"DIG DEEP, SEVEN TRUTHS TO

FINDING THE STRENGTH

WITHIN," WATTS SHARES THE

WAY TO DIG DEEP BY GOING

PAST THE EXCUSES, AND

FINDING INSPIRATION,

CHARACTER, STRENGTH, AND

MOTIVATION.

Pat: J.C. WHAT'S

JOINJ.C. WATTS JOINSUS TO TALK ABOUT HIS B OOK,

AND IT'S CALLED "DIG

DEEP."

IT'S VERY FASCINATING.

CONGRESSMAN, IT IS GOOD TO

SEE YOU.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.

I SEE YOU A LOT MORE THAN

YOU SEE ME.

Pat: YOU WERE IN

CONGRESS, VERY SUCCESSFUL,

AND YOU JUST WALKED AWAY.

WHY?

I SAID I WAS ONLY GOING

TO SERVE FOR THREE TERMS.

I SERVED FOR FOUR.

I HAD KIND OF GOTTEN MY

SHARE -- OR UNDERSTOOD THE

CHEER OF THE CROWD BY

PLAYING QUARTERBACK.

PAT, AS YOU KNOW, THE

CHEER OF THE CROWD IS SO

SEDUCTIVE.

IT IS VERY INTOXICATING.

I DON'T CARE IF IT IS

MINISTRY OR POLITICS OR

ATHLETICS.

AND IAND IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO

MOVE ON.

I NEVER DID IT AS A

CAREER.

IT WAS REALLY PUBLIC

SERVICE.

Pat: THEY LOVED YOU

IN OKLAHOMA.

YOU WERE ALL-AMERICAN OUT

THERE?

I LOVE OKLAHOMANS.

I JUST BECAME PRESIDENT OF

"FEED THE CHILDREN" IN

OKLAHOMA CITY.

I'M GOING BACK IN THE NEXT

SIX, SEVEN MONTHS.

Pat: WHAT WAS THE

TOUGHEST PART OF YOUR LIFE

THAT YOU ENCOUNTERED?

AS YOU SAID EARLIER,

LIFE CAN BE TOUGH.

IT CAN BE CHALLENGING FOR

ALL OF US.

I'VE SURELY HAD MY

MOUNTAINS -- MY MOUNTAINS

HAVE OUTNUMBERED MY

VALLEYS.

BUT, NEVERTHELESS, WHEN I

WAS ELECTED IN THE STATE

GOVERNMENT, I WAS ELECTED

INTO AN AGENCY THAT THEY

HAD AN INVESTIGATION GOING

ON.

I GOT PULLED INTO THAT

INVESTIGATION, AND GOT

HAMMERED TWO OR THREE

TIMES A WEEK BY RADIO AND

TELEVISION.

AND IT WAS A BRUTAL

ORDEAL.

AND, OF COURSE, I GOT

ELECTED AND RE-ELECTED

AFTER ALL OF THAT STUFF

HAPPENED.

AND I LOOKED BACK ON THAT,

AND IN SPIT INSPITE OF THE

DIFFICULTIES I WENT

THROUGH, AND I LOOK BACK

ON THAT TIME TODAY NOT

WHAT IT DID TO ME BUT WHAT

IT DID FOR ME.

FAITH IS LIKE A MUSCLE.

THE MORE YOU USE IT, THE

STRONGER IT GETS.

AND I SURELY HAVE HAD MANY

OPPORTUNITIES DURING THAT

TIME TO STAND ON MY FAITH.

AND I LOOKED IN THE CAMERA

ONE DAY, AND I SAID TO THE

CAMERAMAN, I SAID, I DON'T

KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH

THIS INVESTIGATION.

I SAID, I WILL FULLY

COOPERATE.

AND I WENT ON TO SAY, FROM

A PERSPECTIVE OF FAITH, I

SAID, AND I WILL AWAIT THE

RESULTS IN PEACE.

OF COURSE I WAS CLEARED

AND NOTHING EVER HAPPENED.

AND I TALK ABOUT

ADVERSITIES IN THE BOOK.

WE ALL HAVE THEM.

AND AS MY DAD USED TO SAY,

IF YOU'VE NOT HAD ONE,

JUST KEEP LIVING.

IT WILL COME.

Pat: IT WILL COME.

IT WILL COME.

Pat: YOU TALK ABOUT

STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS

OF GREAT MEN.

YOUR MODEL WAS ABRAHAM

LINCOLN AND YOU WERE

STANDING ON HIS SHOULDERS.

HOW DID THAT WORK?

WELL, I -- YOU KNOW, AS

HAS BEEN SAID, IF I COULD

SEE FURTHER THAN GEORGE

BERNARD SHAW SAID, IF I

COULD SEE FURTHER, IT IS

BECAUSE I STOOD ON THE

SHOULDERS OF GIANTS.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN, I MEAN,

THE COURAGE THAT IT TOOK

HIM TO FIGHT AGAINST

SLAVERY AND SIGN THE

EMANCIPATION POC PROCLAMATION,

AND FIGHT FOR THE 13th

AMENDMENT.

I STAND ON HIS SHOULDERS.

I STAND ON THE SHOULDERS

OF REVEREND KING.

AND I STAND ON THE

SHOULDERS OF HIGH SCHOOL

FOOTBALL COACHES AND

PEOPLE WHO HAVE SOWED INTO

MY LIFE.

I STAND ON THEIR SHOULDERS

TODAY, CONSIDERING WHERE I

AM.

MANY TIMES I COULD HAVE

QUIT.

I WANTED TO QUIT.

I DRANK FROM THE CUP OF

VICTIMHOOD, AND IT TAKES

OH, SO GOOD SOME TIMES --

Pat: TELLS US ABOUT

THE VICTIMHOOD THING.

WE ALL LIKE TO DRINK

FROM THE CUP OF

VICTIMHOOD.

YOU'VE DONE IT, I'VE DONE

IT, AND WE ALL HAVE DONE

IT BECAUSE IT TASTES GOOD.

BUT IF WE'RE TO REACH OUR

MOUNTAINTOP, YOU CAN'T

STAY THERE.

AT SOME POINT IN TIME WE

HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT IT

IS EASY FOR ME TO BLAME

PAT FOR MY MISTAKES OR

WHAT'S GOING WRONG IN MY

LIFE.

BUT THE SOONER WE CAN GET

TO THE POINT THAT WE CAN

SAY, YOU KNOW, J.C. HAS

HAD A HAND IN THIS AS

WELL.

AND THE SOONER WE GET TO

THAT POINT AND LET GO AND

UNLEARN AND RE-THINK AND

GET OUT OF THAT VICTIMHOOD

MENTALITY, THE QUICKER WE

GET TO OUR MOUNTAINTOP.

Pat: YOU ARE A PERSON

OF COLOR AND YOU LIVED IN

A STATE THAT WAS SOMEWHAT

SOUTHERN.

YOU WERE A HERO OUT THERE.

WERE YOU HAVING ANY

PROBLEM WITH RACISM?

WELL, I FACED THOSE

TIMES.

I REMEMBER THE TIMES THAT

I COULDN'T SWIM IN THE

PUBLIC SWIMMING POOL IN MY

COMMUNITY.

I HAD TO SIT IN THE

BALCONY OF THE MOVIE

THEATER.

WHEN I RAN FOR OFFICE IN

1990, THERE WAS A

PROMINENT BANKER OF

OKLAHOMA THAT SAID, WE'RE

SICK OF BLACKS AND WE'RE

SICK OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS.

WELL, YO I COULD CHECK BOTH

BOXES.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,

I TRUSTED THAT PEOPLE IN

OKLAHOMA, WHITE, RED,

YELLOW, BLACK, BROWN, THAT

THEY WOULD LOOK AT MY

RECORD AND GIVE ME AN

OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE, AND

IT TURNED OUT THAT MUCH.

Pat: YOU DIDN'T GET

BITTER ABOUT ANY OF THOSE

THINGS?

I DIDN'T.

I THINK FORGIVENESS -- I

THINK YOU HAVE TO --

FORGIVENESS IS A MATTER OF

SAYING I'M GOING TO MAKE A

CONSCIOUS DECISION TO LET

IT GO.

I DO THINK WE CARRY THINGS

WITH US FOR YEARS.

I'M MOVING FROM VIRGINIA

TO OKLAHOMA, AND MY WIFE

AND I DECIDED THAT THE

JUNK WE CREATED IN

VIRGINIA, WE'RE NOT TAKING

THIS TO OKLAHOMA.

THAT'S THE WAY WE DO IT IN

OUR LIVES.

WE GATHER JUNK IN OUR

LIVES AND WE DON'T

FORGIVE.

AND WE GO FROM YEAR TO

YEAR TO YEAR, AND WE HAVE

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS.

AND AT THE END OF THE DAY,

WE FIND OURSELVES PUTTING

NEW WINE IN OLD WINE

SKINS, AND THAT'S A

PROCESS WE'VE GOT TO WORK

THROUGH, TO SAY I'VE GOT

TO LET IT GO.

Pat: IT TAKES A LOT

TO LET IT GO AND LET GOD

TAKE OVER.

NO QUESTION.

Pat: THAT'S ONE OF

THE KEY POINTS IN THIS

BOOK?

THERE ARE SEVEN TRUTHS

TO FINDING THE STRENGTH

WITHIN.

I TALK ABOUT GOING THROUGH

ADVERSITIES.

I TALK ABOUT UNLEARNING.

AND LET FORGIVENESS OR

UNFORGIVENESS IN OUR

CASE -- YOU'VE GOT TO

FORGIVE.

IT IS NOT A MATTER OF ME

MAKING THE PERSON THAT I'M

MAD AT RIGHT.

IT IS A MATTER OF MAKING

ME FREE.

AND THAT IS CRITICALLY,

CRITICALLY IMPORTANT.

Pat: THE PERSON

YOU'RE MAD AT, WHEN YOU

FORGIVE THEM IT SETS YOU

FREE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU JUST SAID.

THAT'S RIGHT.

UNFORGIVENESS IS LIKE ME

DRINKING POISON AND

EXPECTING IT TO KILL YOU.

Pat: THAT'S GOOD.

THAT'S WHAT

UNFORGIVENESS DO.

I TALK ABOUT THESE TRUTHS.

AND THEY'RE MY

EXPERIENCES.

THEY'RE MY CIRCUMSTANCES,

BUT, PAT, THOSE TRUTHS --

GOD HAS THEM WOVEN INTO

THE FABRIC OF THE EARTH.

AS I SAID, IF WE'RE TO GET

TO OUR MOUNTAINTOP,

WHATEVER THAT MOUNTAINTOP

MIGHT BE, WE'VE GOT TO

FACE THOSE SEVEN TRUTHS.

Pat: YOU'RE A REF

RELATIVELY YOUNG GUY.

WHAT IS THE NEXT MOUNTAIN?

WELL, I -- THIS BOOK --

I WANTED TO WRITE THIS

BOOK.

IT'S MY SECOND BOOK.

I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT MY

EXPERIENCES IN 58 YEARS.

AND GOD HAS ALLOWED ME TO

DO A LOT.

I'VE BEEN AT THE HIGHEST

LEVEL IN ATHLETICS AND

POLITICS.

I'VE SAT ON SOME CORPORATE

BOARDS IN BUSINESSES AND

I'VE RUN MY OWN BUSINESS.

AND NOW THE NEW CHALLENGE

IS WITH "FEED THE

CHILDREN."

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE ALL

THAT I'VE LEARNED AND HELP

FEED THE CHILDREN AND GO

TO THE NEXT LEVEL, AND BE

AT THE TIP OF THE SPEAR

WITH DEALING WITH POVERTY

AND HUNGER.

Pat: IS IT JUST IN

OKLAHOMA OR THE WHOLE

COUNTRY?

IT IS NATIONAL AND

INTERNATIONAL.

ABOUT 80% OF OUR RESOURCES

ARE DEPLOYED IN THE UNITED

STATES.

BUT WE'RE IN 10 COUNTRIES,

IN AFRICA AND THE

PHILIPPINES.

Pat: ARE YOU

PRESIDENT OF THE WHOLE

THING?

PRESIDENT AND C.E.O.

Pat: AMEN.

"DIG DEEP, SEVEN TRUTHS TO

FINDING THE STRENGTH

WITHIN" THIWITHIN."

AND THIS IS A GREAT MAN.

HE IS A HERO TO OKLAHOMA

AND TO THE NATION.

WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

PAT, I'M HONORED TO BE

HERE.

THANK YOU FOR STANDING IN

THE GAP.

Pat: I DON'T KNOW IF

YOU SHOULD GET ON MY

SHOULDERS OR I GET ON YOUR

SHOULDERS, BUT LET'S DO IT

TOGETHER.

THANK YOU, MY BROTHER.

THANK YOU, PAT.

Pat: J.C. WILL BE ONE

OF THE FEATURED SPEAKERS

AT OUR WEEK OF PRAYER AT

THE CHAPEL.

AND YOU CAN JOIN US ONLINE

SO YOU CAN HEAR WHAT HE

HAS TO SAY IN DETAIL.

THAT'S cbn.com AT NOON,

EAST COAST TIME.

TERRY?

Terry: WELL, UP NEXT,

A FATHER OF FOUR IS PULLED

FROM THE BOTTOM OF A POOL.

I LOOKED AT HIM, IN HIS

EYES, AND HE WASN'T THERE.

I JUST KNEW I HAD TO FIGHT

FOR HIS LIFE.

Terry: DOCTORS SAID

IF HE SURVIVED, THIS DAD

WERE BE BRAIN DAMAGED.

WATCH HOW HE DEFIED THAT

PROGNOSIS, AFTER THIS.

Terry: YESTERDAY WE

KICKED OFF CBN'S SPRING

WEEK OF PRAYER.

AT NOON OUR STAFF GATHERED

AT THE REGENT UNIVERSITY

CACHAPEL, AND OUR GUEST

SPEAKER WAS DR. DAVID

IRELAND.

WE BEGAN OUR CHAPEL BY

PRAYING FOR THE MANY

REQUESTS THAT YOU, OUR

PARTNERS AND VIEWERS, HAVE

SENT US.

TAKE A LOOK.

WE PUT THESE NEEDS

BEFORE YOU, JESUS, OUR

GREAT INTERCESSOR, AS YOU

CONQUERED AND ARE

VICTORIOUS.

WE'RE REMINDING OURSELVES

AND CALLING OUT NAMES TO

YOU.

A LEADER IS SOMEONE WHO

CAN SHOW OTHERS THE WAY

BECAUSE THEY FIRST LEARNED

THE WAY.

BUT THERE MUST BE A

DEPENDENCY NOT JUST ON

YOUR WISDOM AND GIFTS, BUT

A DEPENDENCY ON GOD

HIMSELF, AND THAT COMES

THROUGH PRAYER.

AND PRAYER IS TALKING TO

GOD.

WHEN WE GO INTO PRAYER, WE

BRING OUR TROUBLES THERE,

OUR FIGHTS THERE, OUR

BATTLES THERE.

YOU MUST LEARN THAT WHEN

YOU GO INTO PRAYER, YOU

MUST WIN THE BATTLE ON

YOUR KNEES.

AND I WANT YOU TO

UNDERSTAND THAT'S THE

D.N.A. OF REGENT

UNIVERSITY.

THAT'S THE D.N.A. OF CBN.

THAT'S THE D.N.A. OF "THE

700 CLUB."

I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND

THIS PLACE WAS BUILT ON

PRAYER.

AND IT IS SUSTAINED BY

PRAYER.

[APPLAUSE]

Terry: THAT IS THE

TRUTH.

AND WE WANT YOU TO KNOW

YOU CAN JOIN US DURING OUR

CHAPEL SERVICES.

WE'RE STREAMING LIVE EVERY

A FEW MINUTES.

FIRST WE WANT TO SHOW YOU

AN AMAZING ANSWER TO

PRAYER.

MICHAEL BUCKINGHAM WAS

PLAYING WITH HIS SONS IN

THE NEIGHBOR'S POOL, AND

SUDDENLY MICHAEL SANK TO

THE BOTTOM OF THE POOL AND

WAS UNDER WATER FOR NEARLY

EIGHT MINUTES, PRESUMED

DEAD.

HE RAN TO THE DOOR,

REALLY HARD, AND HE WAS,

LIKE, MOM, DAD IS DEAD!

DAD IS DEAD.

HE WAS JUST SCREAMING.

AND I SAID, WHAT?

Reporter: THOSE WORDS

SENT JENNIFER RACING DOWN

THE STREETS.

HER SONS, BRYCEN AND

BRADEN, HAD JUST SAW THEIR

DAD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE

POOL.

IS THAT HIM BREATHING?

Reporter: WHEN

JENNIFER ARRIVED, MICHAEL

WAS FOAMING AT THE MOUTH

AND GASPING FOR AIR.

WHICH ONE OF YOU ALL IS

THE WIFE?

RIGHT HERE.

DOES HE HAVE ANY

MEDICAL PROBLEMS, LIKE

SEIZURES?

NO, NO MEDICAL

PROBLEMS.

NOTHING.

NOTHING.

HE IS SO HEALTHY.

I THOUGHT HE WAS

BREATHING, BUT THEN I

LOOKED AT HIM, IN HIS

EYES, AND HE WASN'T THERE.

Reporter: BY THE TIME

E.M.T.s ARRIVED, HE WAS

DEPRIVED OF OXYGEN FOR AT

LEAST 13 MINUTES.

SHE KNEW WHAT WAS AT

STAKE.

IN TWO OR THREE

MINUTES, YOU START SEEING

BRAIN DAMAGE.

I COULDN'T IMAGINE -- WE

JUST ADOPTED OUR BABY

GIRL, AND IT WAS LIKE

RAISING FOUR KIDS BY

MYSELF.

I DIDN'T KNOW HOW I WAS

GOING TO DO IT.

Reporter: AT THE

HOSPITAL, EMERGENCY STAFF

WORKED TO STABILIZE

MICHAEL.

THE PROGNOSIS WAS GRIM.

BUT JENNIFER WASN'T GIVING

UP.

HE SAID, HIS C.T. SCAN

SHOWS BRAIN DAMAGE.

I SAID, I DON'T BELIEVE

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

I SAID, I SERVE A GOD THAT

IS IN THE MIRACLE

BUSINESS.

Reporter: DOCTORS PUT

MICHAEL INTO AN INDUCED

COMA AND LOWERED HIS BODY

TEMPERATURE TO REDUCE THE

SWELLING OF HIS BRAIN AND

LUNGS.

MEANWHILE, DOZENS OF

FRIENDS AND FAMILY

GATHERED AT THE HOSPITAL

TO PRAY.

THE Facebook PAGE

GARNERED PRAYERS FROM ALL

OVER THE COUNTRY.

I JUST KNEW I HAD TO

FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAD TO

DO FOR THE NEXT COUPLE

DAYS.

WE SET ALL OF THAT ASIDE

AND FOUGHT AND PRAYED AND

PRAYED AND PRAYED.

WE WERE PRAYING, HOPING

THAT MY DAD WOULD STILL BE

HERE WHENEVER WE WENT TO

THE HOSPITAL.

AND THAT GOD WOULD HEAL

HIM.

Reporter: THE PRAYER

VIGIL CONTINUED THROUGH

THE NIGHT.

ON TUESDAY MORNING, TWO

DAYS AFTER THE DROWNING,

JENNIFER AND A FRIEND WERE

SITTING WITH MICHAEL.

SHE WAS, LIKE, HE

MOVED.

AND THEN HE MOVED HIS

HEAD.

WE WERE LIKE, HE MOVED!

AND I RAN OUT TO GET HIS

NURSE.

Reporter: IT DIDN'T

TAKE LONG TO REALIZE

MICHAEL WAS GOING TO BE

OKAY.

I SAID, DO YOU REMEMBER

ISAIAH 41: 10.

AND MICHAEL SPAT OUT WORD

FOR WORD, AND WE'RE, LIKE,

HE'S BACK.

I SAID, WHAT IS TODAY?

AND SHE SAID IT IS

TUESDAY.

AND I SAID, NO, THE

DATE.

AND SHE WAS LIKE THE

28th OF JULY.

AND I SAID, WE'VE GOT

TO GET OUT OF HERE, MY

HEALTH INSURANCE ENDS ON

THE 29th.

I REMEMBER SEEING MY WIFE

AND KIDS AND MY FRIENDS.

I SAW SO MANY FRIENDS THAT

FIRST DAY WHEN I WOKE UP.

Reporter: MICHAEL

EXPLAINED THAT ONE OF THE

CHILDREN JUMPING INTO THE

POOL LANDED ON HIS NECK.

NOTHING WAS WORKING.

I'M JUST SINKING TO THE

BOTTOM OF THE POOL.

Reporter: THE DAY

AFTER HE WOKE UP, MICHAEL

WAS ALREADY BACK ON HIS

FEET.

HE BELIEVES IT WAS PRAYER

AND GOD'S HEALING THAT

DEFIED THE ODDS.

I WAS UNDER THERE FOR A

LONG TIME.

I WAS UNDER THERE LONG

ENOUGH THAT THE MEDICAL

PROFESSIONALS TOLD ME I

SHOULDN'T BE HERE OR I

SHOULD HAVE BRAIN DAMAGE.

Reporter: SINCE THEN,

MICHAEL HAS HAD NO

RESIDUAL EFFECTS.

AND THE CHILDREN ARE VERY

HAPPY TO HAVE THEIR DAD

BACK.

HE IS NICE AND KIND.

WE LOVE HIM A REAL LOT.

Reporter: AND THE

ENTIRE FAMILY HAS A NEW

UNDERSTANDING OF THE GOD

OF MIRACLES.

I KNOW HE HAS THE POWER

TO DO ANYTHING AND MAKE

ANYTHING COME TRUE.

PRAYER IS OUR NUMBER

ONE CONNECTION BETWEEN US

AND THE LORD.

AND THAT'S WHAT FIGHTS OFF

THE ENEMY.

IT WAS SO AWESOME TO BE A

PART OF THAT.

I FEEL LIKE EVERY DAY

IS A GIFT.

GOD HAS GIVEN ME A NEW DAY

TO HUG MY KIDS, TO SPEND

TIME WITH MY WICH, TO HANG

OUT WITH MY FRIENDS, AND

TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT HOW

GOOD HE IS.

IT HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING.

Pat: EVERY DAY IS A

GIFT.

PRAISE GOD.

WE'VE GOT SOME PRAYER

REQUESTS, AND WE WANT TO

PRAY FOR YOU.

SOMEBODY HAS GOT STAGE

FOUR COLON CANCER AND THEY

ASK FOR PRAYER.

AND SOMEONE HAS CHRONIC

PAIN SYNDROME AND THEY ASK

FOR PRAYER.

SOMEBODY SAYS THEY WANT

THEIR HUSBAND TO BE SAVED.

SOMEONE NEEDS A FINANCIAL

BREAKTHROUGH.

Terry: SOMEONE IS

ASKING FOR HEALING OF

SPINAL STENOSIS,

SCOLIOSIS, AND A BULGING

DISC.

SOMEONE IS SAYING, I NEED

HEALING FOR MY GREAT

GRANDDAUGHTER WHO HAD A

STROKE IN VITRO.

AND SOMEONE ELSE SAYS

HEALING FROM DEPRESSION

AND SUICIDAL THOUGHTS.

Pat: FOLKS, WE'RE

GOING TO PRAY TOGETHER.

WE'RE SURROUNDED BY

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.

THIS IS A SPECIAL TIME OF

PRAYING.

WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF

PRAYER REQUESTS COMING TO

US.

TERRY AND I ARE GOING TO

JOIN TOGETHER AND WE'RE

GOING TO PRAY FOR YOU,

WHEREVER YOU ARE, AND

WE'RE GOING TO BELIEVE GOD

FOR YOU.

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

FATHER, I JOIN WITH MY

DEAR SISTER, AND I JOIN

WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHERS

WHO ARE PRAYING ALL AROUND

THE GLOBE, RIGHT NOW.

AND, LORD, YOU ARE GOD

ALMIGHTY.

YOU CREATED THE HEAVENS

AND THE EARTH.

YOU ARE THE AUTHOR OF ALL

THAT IS ALIVE.

YOU MADE IT ALL.

AND, LORD, NOTHING IS

IMPOSSIBLE WITH YOU, SO WE

AFFIRM YOUR POWER RIGHT

NOW.

SOMETHING HAS GOT YOUR

RIGHT LEG, AND THE BONE IN

THE LOWER PART OF YOUR LEG

HAS BEEN BROKEN AND IT HAS

BEEN TWISTED.

IF YOU PUT YOUR HAND ON

IT, GOD IS STRAIGHTENING

THAT OUT AND COMPLETELY

HEALING IT IN JESUS' NAME.

TERRY?

Terry: SOMEONE ELSE,

YOU HAVE A CONDITION --

YOU HAVE OPEN SORES FOR

SOME REASON, BUT THEY'RE

NOT HEALING.

AND YOU'VE BEEN TAKING

MEDICATION FOR IT, AND

DOCTORS HAVE TRIED TOPICAL

MEDICATION, BUT NOTHING

HAS WORKED.

RYE NOW YOUR BODBUT RIGHT NOW, YOUR BODY

IS BEING SET IN TOTAL

ALIGNMENT.

JUST RECEIVE HIS HEALING

TODAY.

Pat: PRAISE GOD.

> SOMEBODY, YOU'VE GOT

SOMETHING IN YOUR STOMACH

THAT CAUSES NAUSEA.

I'M THINKING AN ULCER, BUT

I'M NOT SURE.

BUT THE LORD IS HEALING

YOU.

YOU WILL FEEL FIRE IN THE

MIDDLE OF YOUR BELLY AND

GOD HAS JUST SET YOU FREE.

TERRY?

Terry: SOMEONE, YOU

HAVE GUM DISEASE, AND GOD

IS HEALING THAT AND

CLEANING THAT OUT AND

RESTORING YOUR BONE.

Pat: LORD, FOR ALL OF

THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE

CALLED, WRITTEN, CRIED OUT

TO YOU -- YOU'VE HEARD

THERE PRAYER.

LORD, NOTHING IS

IMPOSSIBLE.

WE ASK THAT YOU TAKE CARE

OF THEIR FAMILIES, YOU

TAKE CARE OF THEIR

FINANCES, YOU TAKE CARE OF

THEIR PHYSICAL NEEDS, AND

MORE THAN ANYTHING, YOU

GIVE THEM HOPE IN THE NAME

OF JESUS.

WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE

POSSIBLE.

WE DECLARE VICTORY IN YOUR

NAME.

THANK YOU, LORD.

AMEN.

Terry: AMEN.

Pat: AND AMEN.

GIVE US A CALL, BY THE

WAY.

WE WOULD STILL LOVE TO

HAVE YOUR REQUESTS.

WRITE THEM IN.

CALL IN IF YOU WANT

PRAYER.

OUR COUNSELLORS ARE ON THE

PHONES.

THEY LOVE YOU AND ARE

WAITING FOR YOU.

TERRY?

Terry: STILL AHEAD,

THE N.L. B. STAR IN HIS

OWN MIND.

I HAD ALL OF THESE

MEDALS, AND, BY THE WAY, I

LOVE JESUS.

BUT THE REALITY WAS, I

LOVE ANDY.

Terry: AND THAT

REALITY NEARLY COST HIM

HIS FAMILY.

FIND OUT WHY.

IT'S ALL COMING UP.

Efrem: AND WELCOME

BACK TO "THE 700 CLUB."

IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING

WORLD, WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY

AND SHIFTING ATTITUDE ON

CULTURE AND TRADITION,

CHURCH LEADERS ARE HAVING

TO ADAPT AND FIND NEW

CREATIVE WAYS TO SPREAD

THE GOSPEL.

THAT WAS THE IDEA BEHIND

THIS YEAR'S INTERNATIONAL

PASTORS AND LEADERSHIP

CONFERENCE IN ORLANDO,

FLORIDA.

ABOUT 8,000 PASTORS

ATTENDED THE MEETING,

HOSTED BY T.D. JAKES.

THEY WANTED TO HELP THEM

IDENTIFY STEPS TO MOVE

THEIR MINISTRIES TO THE

NEXT LEVEL.

CBN'S JOHN JESSUP TOOK

PART IN THE CONFERENCE,

AND HE WAS INVITED TO

INTERVIEW T.D. JAKES ON

STAGE.

> A CBN INTERNATIONAL

HUMANITARIAN TEAM HAS

HELPED PEOPLE IN A POOR

REGION IN DESPERATE NEED

OF BETTER HEALTH CARE.

CBN PROVIDED THE REMOTE

PROVINCE WITH A FOUR-DAY

MEDICAL AND DENTAL

MISSION.

THEY GAVE OUT FREE HEALTH

CARE AND MEDICATION.

THIS HELPED MORE THAN

1,000 FAMILIES, INCLUDING

MONKS AND GOVERNMENT

OFFICIALS.

YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE

ABOUT WHAT CBN IS DOING

AROUND THE WORLD BY

LOGGING ON TO

cbn.com/international.

PAT AND TERRY ARE BACK

WITH MORE OF "THE 700

CLUB" RIGHT AFTER THIS.

Terry: FOR MORE THAN

50 YEARS CBN HAS GIVEN

FOOD AND SUPPLIES TO

PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD.

IN THAILAND WE HELPED ONE

MAN WHO RESCUED A BABY

ABOUT TO BE BURIED ALIVE.

Reporter: AS MALACHI

RUSHED UP THIS MOUNTAIN IN

THAILAND, HE KNEW A BABY'S

LIFE WAS IN DANGER.

THE MOTHER HAD DIED IN

CHILDBIRTH.

THE WOMAN WHO CALLED ME

WAS A CHRISTIAN.

SHE SAID THE FATHER WANTED

TO PUT THE BABY UNDER HER

MOTHER'S BODY UNTIL SHE

STOPPED BREATHING.

Reporter: MALACHI

QUICKLY RESCUED THE

NEWBORN, AND WITH THE

FATHER'S CONSENT, BROUGHT

HER HOME TO HIS WIFE.

THEY ADOPTED HER AND NAMED

HER MUK, WHICH MEANS

PEARL.

I WAS ORPHANED WHEN I

WAS A CHILD, AND I KNEW

SHE REALLY WAS A PRECIOUS

GIFT TO OUR FAMILY.

MUK REALLY IS LIKE A

PEARL.

Reporter: MUK IS JUST

ONE OF THE 2 20 ORPHANED OR

VULNERABLE CHILDREN THAT

THE THE COUPLE HAS TAKEN

IN.

FOR YEARS, MALACHI GREW

RICE ON A BORROWED FIELD

TO SUPPORT THEM.

THEN THE OWNER TOOK BACK

HIS FIELD AND THE

CHILDREN'S HOME RAN LOW ON

FOOD AND MONEY.

THE THOUGHT OF SENDING

THE CHILDREN AWAY MADE ME

FEEL TERRIBLE.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

WE NEEDED HELP.

Reporter: MALACHI AND

SOPA GATHERED THE CHILDREN

TOGETHER TO PRAY.

WHEN CBN MET THE COUPLE

WHO HAD OPENED THEIR HOME

TO BABY MUK AND SO MANY

OTHER CHILDREN, WE OFFERED

TO HELP.

FIRST WE GAVE THEM ENOUGH

RICE, NOODLES, EGGS, AND

FISH TO FEED EVERYONE

FORTUNATE A MONTH.

FOR

A MONTH.

NEXT WE BUILT THEM A NEW

KITCHEN.

AND FINALLY, TO HELP THEM

TO KEEP THE CHILDREN'S

HOME OPEN, WE PROVIDED

EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED TO

START TO BUSINESSES, ONE

WEAVING AND THE OTHER

RAISING FISH TO EAT AND

SELL.

AND THIS IS MUK NOW, AT

AGE TWO, BOTH HEALTHY AND

HAPPY.

I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR

CBN'S HELP.

YOU SHOWED MERCY TO OUR

CHILDREN AND GAVE THEM A

FUTURE.

I BELIEVE THINGS WILL JUST

KEEP GETTING BETTER AND

BETTER FOR OUR HOME.

Terry: WE LOOK FOR

PEOPLE LIKE MALACHI AND

SOPA, WHO ARE DOING A

WONDERFUL WORK, BUT WHO

JUST NEED A STRONG HELPING

HAND ALONG THE WAY.

THAT'S WHEN YOU, "700

CLUB" MEMBERS, MAKE IT

POSSIBLE FOR THE LIVES OF

CHILDREN LIKE MUK TO BE

SAVED.

FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE CLEAN

DRINKING WATER.

FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER

HEARD THE MESSAGE OF GOD'S

LOVE TO COME TO

"SUPERBOOK" PARTIES AROUND

THE WORLD AND HEAR THE

STORIES OF THE BIBLE IN

THEIR OWN LANGUAGES.

THAT'S JUST A LITTLE OF

WHAT WE DO.

BUT YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN

WHEN YOU JOIN "THE 700

CLUB."

FIRST OF AWE, WE WAN ALL, WE WANT TO

SAY THANK YOU TO THOSE OF

YOU WHO ARE "700 CLUB"

MEMBERS.

BUT IF YOU AREN'T A

MEMBER, WOULD YOU CONSIDER

JOINING US TODAY?

65 CENTS A DAY, $20 A

MONTH MAKES YOU A "700

CLUB" MEMBER.

YOU CAN GO TO OUR PHONE

AND CALL OUR TOLL-FREE

NUMBER: 1-800-759-0700.

OR IF YOU PREFER, YOU CAN

JOIN BY LOGGING ON TO

cbn.com.

WHEN YOU DO, WE WANT TO

SAY THANK YOU TO YOU FOR

CARING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE

AND FOR YOUR GENEROSITY BY

SENDING YOU PAT'S LATEST

TEACHING.

IT'S CALLED "HEAVEN, WHAT

GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE

WHO LOVE HIM."

YOU WILL BE BLESSED BY

THIS, AS WERE MR. AND

MRS. ROBERT.

THEY SAID, "THE HEAVEN

D.V.D. DID A GREAT JOB OF

TELLING US ABOUT GOD.

THE TESTIMONIES WERE VERY

ENLIGHTENING AND

CONVINCING FOR THOSE WHO

MAY HAVE DOUBTS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH."

SO THEY HAVE APPRECIATED

THE VIDEO.

AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN

IT ARE GREATLY MOVED AND

INSPIRED BY IT.

Pat: WE HAD

DR. CHAUNCEY CRANDEL, WHO

IS A NOTED CARDIOLOGIST,

AND HE TALKED ABOUT HIS

PATIENTS WHO DIED AND CAME

BACK TO LIFE AGAIN.

IT IS A TREMENDOUS D.V.D.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.

> STILL AHEAD, WE'VE GOT

YOUR E-MAIL QUESTIONS.

A VIEWER SAYS, QUOTE,"I

REALLY LIKE THE BIBLE, BUT

SOMETIMES I BEAT MYSELF UP

FOR NOT READING IT EVERY

DAY.

DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS ABOUT

HOW I SHOULD READ OR STUDY

THE BIBLE?"

WE'LL ANSWER THIS AND MANY

MORE QUESTIONS COMING UP.

Pat: HEY, YOU'RE

WATCHING "THE 700 CLUB."

IT'S A GREAT DAY.

WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE WITH US.

FOR 14 YEARS, ANDY BENNETT

HAS BUILT A SOLID MAJOR

LEAGUE CAREER.

HE HAD THE WINS AND THE

ACCOLADES.

> BUT AS HE TOLD AND ANDREW

KNOX, HE BEGAN TO LOSE THE

SUPPORT OF HIS BIGGEST

FANS.

WHO WERE THEY?

HIS OWN FAMILY.

Reporter: AS A MAJOR

LEAGUE PITCHER FOR 14

YEARS, ANDY CAME TO LOVE

THE SPOTLIGHT OF BEING A

CELEBRITY.

SO MUCH SO THAT BASEBALL

CAME BEFORE EVERYTHING

IMPORTANT TO HIM: HIS

WIFE, HIS KIDS, AND HIS

FAITH.

> ANDREW, A VERY LONG,

SOLID CAREER, 2,000

STRIKEOUTS, 155 WINS, YOU

WERE THE NUMBER ONE DRAFT

PICK.

IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT NOT

TO ALLOW BASEBALL TO

BECOME YOUR IDENTITY?

IT WAS TOTALLY MY

IDENTITY.

I LEARNED AT A YOUNG AGE,

IF I DID WELL IN SPORTS, I

WOULD GET A LOT OF PATS ON

THE BACK.

I WAS KIND OF AN

AFFIRMATION ADDICT.

I WANTED TO PLEASE PEOPLE

AND I WORKED REALLY HARD

AT THAT.

Reporter: WHY WAS IT

IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO BE A

CHRISTIAN BALLPLAYER?

IT GOT ME MORE PATS ON

THE BACK.

HE'S A REALLY GOOD GUY.

OH, HE'S A CHRISTIAN.

IT WAS PART OF MY RESUME.

Reporter: ANDY WAS SO

BUSY PLAYING THE PART OF

THE ALL-AMERICAN GOOD GUY

AND BASEBALL STAR, HE HAD

LITTLE LEFT TO GIVE HIS

WIFE, JENNIFER, AND THEIR

KIDS.

HE WASN'T HOME EVEN

WHEN HE WAS HOME.

HE WAS DISTRACTED.

IN FACT, I GOT PITCHING

LESSONS FOR OUR OLDEST

SON, DREW.

AND ANDY CAME HOME AND HE

SAID, WHERE IS DREW.

AND I SAID HE IS AT A

PITCHING LESSON.

AND HE GOES, I'M A

PROFESSIONAL PITCHER.

AND I SAID, YOU'RE NOT

HOME.

YOU DON'T WORK WITH HIM.

Reporter: YOUR FAMILY

GETS WHAT IS LEFT OVER.

WHERE WAS GOD IN THAT

PICTURE.

I WOULD PROFESS GOD AND

SAY JESUS IS LORD, BUT GOD

WAS WAY DOWN ON THE TOTEM

POLL.

HE WAS KIND OF, LIKE,

ADDED TO MY RESUME.

I WAS THE FIRST DRAFT

PICK, I HAD AN OLYMPIC

GOLD MEDAL, AND, OH, BY

THE WAY, I LOVE JESUS.

BUT REALLY, I LOVED ANDY.

Reporter: WHEN HE

RETIRED, JENNIFER HOPED

THINGS WOULD GET BETTER,

BUT THEY DIDN'T.

ANDREI WAANDY WAS CANDY ABOUT WHY.

BECAUSE I WAS SELFISH.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE THE

GENERAL PUBLIC DOESN'T SEE

THEIR HOME LIFE.

BUT WHO REALLY SUFFERS IS

THE WIFE AND THE CHILDREN.

Reporter: COUNSELLING

WAS THEIR LAST HOPE.

AND THE COUNSELLOR SAID

SOMETHING TO ME THAT

REALLY HIT ME.

HE SAID TO ME, WHY AREN'T

YOU LOVING YOUR HUSBAND

WELL?

AND I SAID, WHAT ARE YOU

TALKING ABOUT?

I'VE SACRIFICED EVERYTHING

FOR MY HUSBAND.

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?

AND HE GOES, YOU'RE NOT

LOVING HIM.

YOU'RE NOT SPEAKING THE

TRUTH AND LOVE TO HIM.

YOU NEED TO HOLD A MIRROR

UP TO HIS FACE.

YOU NEED TO SPEAK TRUTH TO

HIM.

THAT IS LOVING HIM.

JENNIFER SAID LOVINGLY,

ALL OF THESE PEOPLE SEE

THE OUTSIDE OF THE

COSTUME.

WE KNOW WHAT'S ON THE

INSIDE.

GO LIVE WITH ALL OF THOSE

PEOPLE WHO THINK YOU'RE

GREAT BECAUSE AFTER

THEY'RE WITH YOU FOR A

SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME,

THEY'LL KNOW ALL YOU CARE

ABOUT IS YOU AND WHAT IS

GOOD FOR YOU.

AND SHE BASICALLY SAID,

GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND

GO FIGURE IT OUT.

I PRAYED AND PRAYED AND

PRAYED AND WAITED AND

WAITED AND WAITED.

AND I CRIED OUT AND BEGGED

AND WRESTLED WITH GOD MANY

TIMES.

AND I KNEW THAT GOD DID

NOT WANT US TO GET

DIVORCED.

I KNEW THAT.

I KNEW IT IN MY SPIRIT.

Reporter: ONE DAY

DURING WHAT WAS SUPPOSED

TO BE A FAMILY DAY, ANDY

GOT THE MESSAGE GOD AND

HIS WIFE HAD BEEN TRYING

TO SHOW HIM.

I WENT TO A PEE-WEE

GAME ONE OF MY DAUGHTER'S

WAS PLAYING.

THE GAME IS OVER,

EVERYBODY LEFT, AND I

DIDN'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO

GO.

AND I WENT OUT IN THE CAR.

AND IT WAS RAINING AND IT

WAS A STORM IN ST. LOUIS.

AND I JUST SAT THERE AND I

JUST STARTED SOBBING.

AND I JUST -- GOD BROKE

ME.

* EVERYBODY STRIKES OUT

NOW AND THEN *

I WAS SO SELF-CONSUMED

THAT IT TOOK A LONG TIME

TO HUMBLE ME, BUT GOD

REALLY HUMBLED ME THAT

NIGHT AND BROUGHT ME TO MY

KNEES.

Reporter: WITH ANDY

COMMITTED TO WORKING ON

HIMSELF AND HIS MARRIAGE,

THEY BOTH LEARNED TO LOVE

AND APPRECIATE EACH OTHER

AND THEIR LIVES TOGETHER.

IN THE TIME THAT WE

WERE APART, THE THOUGHT

THAT JUST KEPT COMING TO

ME, HOUR BY HOUR, MINUTE

BY MINUTE WAS, I CAN'T

LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT THIS

WOMAN.

I WAS TRUSTING GOD THAT HE

WOULD KEEP US TOGETHER

BECAUSE I WAS JUST REALLY

SCARED THAT I WAS GOING TO

LOSE YOU.

THAT'S REALLY SWEET.

SOMETHING THAT I

PROBABLY DON'T SAY OFTEN

ENOUGH, HOW GOD HAS GIFTED

YOU WITH JUST YOUR

STRENGTHS -- YOUR

STRENGTHS ARE JUST

AMAZING.

AS MUCH AS I FEEL LIKE I

KNOW YOU AND AS MUCH AS

YOU FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW ME,

EVERY NOW AND THEN HE'LL

THROW ME OFF A LITTLE BIT.

I TRY TO KEEP YOU ON

YOUR TOES.

YOU CERTAINLY DO THAT.

TODAY I SAW YOU PLAYING

BALL WITH YOUR SON.

HE'S OUR YOUNGEST.

Reporter: TODAY I SAW

YOU IN THE POOL WITH

FAMILY.

DOES IT EVER STRIKE YOU

COULD HAVE LOST ALL OF

THIS?

THERE IS USUALLY NOT A

DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I

DON'T THINK ABOUT THAT.

I'M SO GRATEFUL BECAUSE

I'M WITH THE WOMAN I LOVE,

AND HAVE LOVED FOR THE

LAST 30 PLUS YEARS.

AND WE HAVE SIX AMAZING

KIDS AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

WHO IS AWESOME.

OUR LEGACY COULD BE A LOT

DIFFERENT HAD NOT THE LORD

INTERVENED.

Pat: IT IS ALL ABOUT

PRIORITIES, ISN'T IT?

WHAT COMES FIRST.

I'LL TELL YOU, WHEN ALL OF

THE ACCOLADES GO, WHEN THE

APPLAUSE DIES DOWN, YOU

NEED THAT SPOUSE AND YOU

NEED THOSE KIDS.

I PERSONALLY AM SO

GRATEFUL I HAVE 14

WONDERFUL GRANDCHILDREN,

AND SIX OR SEVEN

GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN, AND

MORE COMING.

Terry: WINS ON THE

WAY.

TWINS ON THE

WAY.

Pat: TWINS ON THE

WAY.

OKAY, WE'VE GOT SOME

QUESTIONS.

Terry: THIS IS A

VIEWER WHO SAYS, "I REALLY

LIKE THE BIBLE, BUT

SOMETIMES I BEAT MYSELF UP

FOR NOT READING IT EVERY

DAY.

I HAVE NEVER READ IT

ENTIRELY.

JUST THE FOUR GOSPELS,

PAUL'S LETTERS, AND THE

FIVE BOOKS OF THE OLD

TESTAMENT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS ON

HOW I SHOULD READ AND

STUDY THE BIBLE?"

Pat: THERE IS A

SYSTEMATIC WAY AND A

DEVOTIONAL WAY.

RIGHT NOW I'M FOLLOWING

THE DEVOTIONAL WAY.

I'VE DONE THE SYSTEMATIC.

YOU LOOK AT A BOOK AND

SAY, WHO WROTE IT, TO WHOM

WAS IT ADDRESSED, WHAT WAS

THE ISSUE INVOLVED, AND

WHAT WERE THEY TRYING TO

GET ACROSS.

WHAT ARE THE LESS YOU CAN

TAKE FROM IT AND SO FORTH.

YOU GO THROUGH IT

SYSTEMATICALLY AND THAT'S

THE WAY TO DO IT.

THE OTHER WAY IS YOU'RE

ASKING GOD FOR A RAMA, A

WORD WHERE HE SPEAKS TO

YOU OUT OF THE BIBLE.

THAT WAY YOU CAN -- AS I

BELIEVE JOHN WESLEY SAID,

WE SOUGHT THE ARTICLES OF

GOD, AND GOD WILL SPEAK TO

YOU.

IT SEEMED TO BE

UNRECEIPTED, AND ALL OF A

SUDDEUNRELATEDAND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT

JUMPS OUT AT YOU.

YOU NEED TO READ JOHN AND

YOU NEED TO READ THE

PSALMS.

BUT DON'T BEAT YOURSELF

UP, THAT I DIDN'T READ

TODAY AND THEREFORE I HAVE

SINNED.

Terry: BECCA SAYS, IF

YOU GET REALLY SICK AND

YOU HAVE AN ADDICTION, CAN

GOD USE THE SICKNESS TO

BREAK YOUR BAD HABIT?

Pat: YES, OF COURSE

HE CAN.

CAN HE USE IT?

GOD CAN DO ANYTHING.

ALL RIGHT.

Terry: THIS IS ZURU

WHO SAYS, "IS

PRE-DESTINATION THEOLOGY

BIBLE?"

Pat: THE THEOLOGIANS

GO A LONG WAY IN

ACCOUNTING -- GOD KNOWS

EVERYTHING.

HE KNOWS THE END TO THE

BEGINNING.

DOES HE PLAN EVERYTHING

OUT?

THE CALVANISTS WOULD SAY,

YES, HE PLANNED IT ALL

OUT.

I THINK GOD HAS A PLAN FOR

OUR WORLD, OUR NATION, AND

FOR US.

AT THE SAME TIME, HE

DOESN'T TAKE AWAY FREE

WILL.

SO THE BIG THEOLOGICAL

ISSUE HAS BEEN HOW MUCH IS

FREE WILL AND HOW MUCH IS

GOD'S SOVEREIGN GRACE?

AND ANY TIME YOU GO TOO

FAR ON EITHER SIDE, YOU'RE

INTO HARASSY.

WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION

WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING

FOR IT IS GOD WHO WORKS IN

YOU, THE WILL AND TO DO

HIS GOOD PLEASURE.

THAT'S THE WAY TO LIVE.

WE LEAVE YOU WITH TODAY'S

POWER MINUTE FROM MATTHEW

21: "AND WHATEVER THINGS

YOU ASK IN PRAYER,

BELIEVING, YOU WILL

RECEIVE."

TOMORROW, A HEAD-ON

COLLISION LEAVES A

MOTORCYCLIST WITH A

SHATTERED SPINE.

SEE HIS MIRACULOUS

RECOVERY.

THAT'S TOMORROW'S "700

CLUB."

FOR TERRY AND ALL OF US,

THIS IS PAT ROBERTSON.

WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

BYE-BYE.
