HE PULLED THE KNIFE ON

ME.

Efrem: KIDNAPPED BY A

HARDENED CRIMINAL...ONE

WOMAN MAKES A DARING

ESCAPE.

AND I WAS SCREAMING,

STOP, STOP!

HELP ME, HELP ME!

Efrem: AND THE THEN SHE

SETS HER MIND ON PAYBACK.

THAT IS NOT MURDER.

THAT'S SELF-DEFENSE.

Efrem: TODAY ON "THE

700 CLUB."

*

Gordon: WELL, WELCOME

TO "THE 700 CLUB."

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

HAS OPENED IN DISARRAY.

AFTER AN E-MAIL SCANDAL

HAS SPLIT THEIR PARTY.

NOW MANY BERNIE SANDERS'

SUPPORTERS ARE PROMISING

THEY WON'T VOTE FOR

HILLARY CLINTON.

Wendy: DEMOCRATIC

LEADERS ARE TRYING TO

BRING THE PARTY BACK

TOGETHER, BUT AS DAVID

BRODY REPORTS FROM

PHILADELPHIA, THAT WON'T

BE EASY.

David: BERNIE

SANDERS MAY HAVE COME IN

SECOND PLACE, BUT YOU

COULDN'T TELL THAT FROM

HIS WELCOME.

[CHEERING]

David: THE SOCIALIST

RECEIVED A NEARLY

THREE-MINUTE STANDING

OVATION FROM THOUSANDS OF

HIS SUPPORTERS.

THEY HAD NO CHEERS FOR THE

PARTY MACHINE, HOWEVER.

BELIEVING THAT THE

ESTABLISHMENT STACKED THE

DECK AGAINST HIM.

I UNDERSTAND THAT MANY

PEOPLE HERE IN THIS

CONVENTION HALL AND AROUND

THE COUNTRY ARE

DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THE

FINAL RESULTS OF THE

NOMINATING PROCESS.

BUT TO ALL OF OUR

SUPPORTERS HERE AND AROUND

THE COUNTRY, I HOPE YOU

TAKE ENORMOUS PRIDE IN THE

HISTORICAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS

WE HAVE ACHIEVED.

David: ALL DAY

SANDERS' SUPPORTERS SHOWED

THEIR ANGER OVER LEAKED

E-MAILS SHOWING THAT

DEMOCRATIC PARTY OFFICIALS

WORKED TO HELP HILLARY

CLINTON WIN THE

NOMINATION, RATHER THAN

STAY NEUTRAL.

THEY TOOK TO THE STREETS.

BERNIE SANDERS !!

David: THEIR BOOS

AND THREATS OF FURTHER

PROTESTS FORCED THE

RESIGNATION OF THE

CHAIRMAN OF THE PARTY.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY,

SETTLE DOWN.

David: NOT EVEN THE

OPENING PRAYER WAS SPARED

ONCE HILLARY CLINTON'S

NAME WAS MENTIONED.

GOD, YOU HAVE GIVEN US

WISDOM.

NOW GIVE US COURAGE.

FOR THE FACING OF THIS

HOUR.

David: IT GOT SO BAD

THAT AT ONE POINT SPEAKER

SARAH SILVERMAN SIMPLY GOT

FED UP.

CAN I JUST SAY TO THE

"BERNIE OR BUST PEOPLE,"

YOU'RE BEING RIDICULOUS.

David: MICHELLE

OBAMA TRIED TO TURN THE

TIDE WHEN SHE TOOK THE

STAGE.

IN THIS ELECTION, THERE

IS ONLY ONE PERSON WHO I

TRUST WITH THAT

RESPONSIBILITY.

ONLY ONE PERSON WHO I

BELIEVE IS TRULY QUALIFIED

TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE

UNITED STATES, AND THAT IS

OUR FRIEND, HILLARY

CLINTON.

David: BUT THIS WAS

BERNIE'S NIGHT, AND IN HIS

PRIME TIME SPEECH, HE

OPTED TO BE A TEAM PLAYER,

CITING HOW HIS POLITICAL

REVOLUTION MADE THE

DEMOCRATS' AGENDA EVEN

MORE LIBERAL.

OUR JOB NOW IS TO SEE

THAT STRONG DEMOCRATIC

PLATFORM IMPLEMENTED BY A

DEMOCRATIC-CONTROLLED

SENATE.

[CHEERING]

BY A DEMOCRATIC HOUSE

AND A HILLARY CLINTON

PRESIDENCY.

HILLARY CLINTON WILL MAKE

AN OUTSTANDING PRESIDENT,

AND I AM PROUD TO STAND

WITH HER TONIGHT.

David: BUT BERN BERNIE

SANDERS' SUPPORTERS AREN'T

QUITE ON THE HILLARY TRAIN

YET.

I CAN'T GET THERE YET.

WE ARE FEELING LIKE WE

NEED TO HAVE OUR VOICES

HEARD.

LIKES THIS ELECTION IS

SOMETHING WHERE WORKING

PEOPLE OF THE UNITED

STATES ARE NOT BEING

HEARD.

THEY'RE NOT BEING

REPRESENTED.

David: AND THEY'RE

ALSO NOT HAPPY WITH TIM

KAINE, CLINTON'S CHOICE

FOR VICE PRESIDENT.

THEY THINK HE IS TOO

MODERATE.

BUT A CLINTON ADVISOR

TELLS CBN NEWS THAT TIM

KAINE PREACHES THE SOCIAL

JUSTICE MESSAGE THAT THE

SANDERS' PEOPLE ACTUALLY

LIKE.

THERE IS A GUY WHO

LIVES THE CATHOLIC SOCIAL

JUSTICE SPEECH, NOT JUST

IN HIS LIFE AS A CATHOLIC

LAYMAN, HE LIVES IT OUT

EVERY DAY WHEN HE STEPS ON

THE CAPITOL HILL.

David: IF YOU'RE THE

DEMOCRATS, YOU HOPE THE

WORST IS GONE.

DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ

IS GONE, AND BERNIE

SANDERS HAS ALREADY

SPOKEN.

AND NOW BILL CLINTON

SPEAKS ON TUESDAY NIGHT,

AND BARAK OBAMA AND

HILLARY CLINTON TO FOLLOW

LATER ON THE WIN.

BERNIE SANDERS' FOLKS SAID

THEY MAY PROTEST THAT IN

SOME FORM OR FASHION.

IT IS ALL PART OF "AS THE

DEMOCRATS TURN," A SOAP

OPERA PLAYING OUT IN

PHILADELPHIA.

DAVID BRODY, AT THE

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION IN

PHILLY.

Gordon: WELL, WE'LL

BE SHOWING YOU ALL OF THE

REPEAT NEWS, ALL OF THE

DEMOCRATIC TURNINGS FROM

THE CONVENTION.

OUR COVERAGE WILL BE ALL

OF THIS WEEK.

AND YOU'LL HAVE A

FRONT-ROW SEAT TO IT ALL.

WHAT I THINK BOTH PARTIES

HAVE MISSED -- AND WHEN

YOU LOOK AT THIS, THERE IS

AN UNDERLYING OUTRAGE.

YOU DON'T HAVE A WORD FOR

IT.

I DON'T THINK IT IS JUST

IN THE UNITED STATES.

THE "BREXIT" VOTE IN GREAT

BRITAIN, WHERE WE WANT TO

LEAVE THE EUROPEAN UNION,

THAT WAS SORT OF OUT OF

THE BLUE.

NO ONE ANTICIPATED THEY

WOULD VOTE TO LEAVE.

AND IN THIS ELECTION

CYCLE, THIS IS THE

CRAZIEST PRESIDENTIAL

ELECTION CYCLE OF MY

LIFETIME.

IT'S LET THROW THE BUMS

OUT.

IF YOU'RE AN INCUMBENT, IT

IS LIKE YOU HAVE A TARGET

ON YOUR BACK.

THEY WANT CHANGE.

PEOPLE WANT CHANGE IN

AMERICA TODAY.

THEY OBVIOUSLY WANT CHANGE

IN GREAT BRITAIN.

BUT THE ULTIMATE POLL WILL

BE IN NOVEMBER.

MAKE SURE YOU'RE

REGISTERED, AND YOU CAN

PARTICIPATE IN THIS

WONDERFUL ELECTION.

> WELL, THE LEAKED

E-MAILS FROM THE

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL

COMMITTEE ALSO EXPOSED

SOMETHING ELSE, SOMETHING

WE LONG HAVE SUSPECTED:

THE PARTY OFTEN WORKED

WITH THE NEWS MEDIA.

EFREM GRAHAM HAS THAT

STORY FROM THE CBN NEWS

ROOM.

EFREM.

Efrem: GORDON, SOME

CONSERVATIVE CRITICS ARE

SAYING, WE TOLD YOU SO.

THEY ARGUE THE E-MAILS OF

PROOF THAT THE DEMOCRATS

OFTEN HAVE A TIGHT

RELATIONSHIP WITH THE

LIBERAL MEDIA.

WHILE KEEPING THE

CONSERVATIVE MEDIA AT ARMS

LENGTH.

HEATHER SELLS HAS THIS

STORY.

Heather: THANKS TO

WikiLEAKS, CLOSE TO

20,000 E-MAILS ARE NOW OUT

AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

THESE E-MAILS REVEALED NOT

ONLY DID DEMOCRATIC PARTY

OFFICIALS FAVOR HILLARY

CLINTON OVER BERNIE

SANDERS, THEY SHOW THE

EXTENT TO WHICH PARTY

OFFICIALS COLLUDE WITH THE

MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

WE HAVE MAINTAINED FOR

YEARS THAT THE PRESS WAS A

AN OUTSHOOT OF THE D.N.C.,

AND THAT WAS KIND OF A

RHETORICAL STATEMENT, BUT

IT TURNS OUT IT IS TRUE.

Heather: BRENT BRAZEL

WITH N.R.C., SAYS THE

E-MAILS CONFIRM WHAT HIS

ORGANIZATION HAS

UNDERSTOOD.

THERE HAS BEEN AN

ONGOING, ACTIVE

PARTICIPATION BETWEEN THE

SUPPOSEDLY OBJECTIVE

NEUTRAL PRESS AND THE

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL

COMMITTEE.

Heather: THE E-MAILS

SHOW THE D.N.C. OFTEN

IGNORED MEDIA WHILE

WORKING WITH MORE LIABLE LIBERAL

OUTLETS.

AND A COMMUNICATOR SAID HE

COULD SEND OUT AN ALERT TO

STATE PARTIES NOT TO

RESPOND TO A REQUEST TO

THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

BECAUSE, QUOTE,"THE

EXAMINER IS A RIGHT WING

RAG."

AND THE D.N.C. DIDN'T

RESPOND TO A FOX NEWS

REPORTER WHO WANTED A

RESPONSE ON BILL CLINTON'S

AFFAIRS.

KNEED, THE D.N.C. OFFICIAL

CALLED THE REPORTER A

CRUDE NAME AND SAID HE

DIDN'T HAVE AN EMOJI FOR A

PROFANE RESPONSE.

ONE LEAK SHOWS THEM ASKING

AN OFFICIAL TO REVIEW HIS

PIECE ON HILLARY CLINTON

BEFORE IT WAS PUBLISHED.

AFTER THE LEAK, THE

REPORTER ADMITTED HE MADE

A MISTAKE.

MOST OF THE PEOPLE ARE

ONLY VOTING FOR DONALD

TRUMP BECAUSE HE IS A

WHITE GUY.

Heather: THEY ARE

RUNNING ADS IN

PHILADELPHIA THIS WEEK,

HOPING TO SHOW WHAT THE

LEAKS SHOW, AN OFTEN COZY

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE

MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND THE

DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Efrem: TWO ATTACKERS

MURDERED A CATHOLIC PRIEST

IN HIS CHURCH DURING A

MORNING MASS IN FRANCE.

ISIS HAS CLAIMED

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE

ATTACK, WHICH HAPPENED

NEAR THE NORMANDY CITY OF

ROUEN.

FRENCH POLICE SHOT AND

KILLED THE ATTACKERS AND

RESCUED THREE PEOPLE.

FRANCE IS UNDER A STATE OF

EMERGENCY AFTER THREE

TERROR ATTACKS IN A LITTLE

MORE THAN A YEAR AND A

HALF.

> THE NATION OF TURKEY

HAS BEEN BECOMING MORE

ISLAMIC, AND NOW THERE ARE

CONCERNS ONE OF THE MOST

IMPORTANT BUILDINGS IN

CHRISTIANDOME COULD AGAIN

BE TURNED INTO A MOSQUE.

DALE HURD HAS THIS STORY.

[SPEAKING A FOREIGN

LANGUAGE]

Reporter: ON

JULY 1st, THE LAST

FRIDAY OF RAMADAN, THE

MUSLIM CALL TO PRAYER WAS

SUNG IN THE MAIN SANCTUARY

OF THE SOFIA IN ISTANBUL.

IT SET UP ALARM BELLS IN

THE CHRISTIAN WORLD.

THIS HASN'T HAPPENED IN

MORE THAN 80 YEARS.

THE GREAT CHRISTIAN

BASILICA BUILT BY THE BIZ

BIZIN TIENBIZINTINES WAS TURNED INTO

A MOSQUE UNDER SULTAN

MAAMED THE SECOND.

THE FIRST THING HE DID

AFTER CONCURRING CON CON CONSTAN

ARCONSTANOBLEOBLE.

BUT BY THE EARLY

1900s, THE OTTOMAN

EMPIRE WAS DEAD.

IN 1935, TURKEY'S SECULAR

LEADER, ODDAKUR, CHANGED

IT INTO A MUSEUM.

HE WANTED TO BRING

TURKEY, KICKING AND

SCREAM, INTO THE 20th

CENTURY.

Reporter: BUT NOW

TURKEY IS GOING IN THE

OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

PRESIDENT RA RECEP TAYYIP

ERDOGAN PARTY IS THERE.

AND THEY HAVE ENERGIZED

HIS MUSLIM BASE.

THIS COUP HAS ENERGIZED

HIM MORE THAN EVER.

HE WAS ALREADY THE MOST

POWERFUL LEADER IN TURKEY,

BUT ERDOGAN CAN EASILY USE

THIS, YES, TO ESTABLISH

MORE CONTROL OVER TURKEY'S

SOCIETY.

TO BRING IT TAILOR-MADE

FOR HIMSELF.

Reporter: ERDOGAN HAS

LONG BEEN ACCUSED OF

TRYING TO REVIVE THE

OTTOMAN EMPIRE.

AND THAT COULD MEAN THIS

GREAT CATHEDRAL MIGHT SOME

DAY SOON BE A MOSQUE

AGAIN.

DALE HURD, CBN NEWS.

Efrem: AND YOU CAN

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE

HISTORY OF THE CHURCH, THE

CRITICAL ROLE IT PLAYS IN

THE COLLAPSE OF A

POLITICAL EMPIRE, AND THAT

LINK IS INCLUDED IN THIS

STORY AT cbnnews.com.

GORDON?

Gordon: THE HAGI SOF

SOFA FOR YEARS WAS THE

LARGEST CHURCH IN THE

WORLD.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY A

FANTASTIC ARCHITECTURAL

MARVEL.

AND THIS WAS THE PLACE

WHERE ALL THE BIZANTINE

EMPERORS WERE CROWNED.

THIS IS WHAT ESTABLISHED

THEM.

NOW CONSTANTINOPLE WAS THE

ROMAN EMPIRE'S

HEADQUARTERS UNDER CONS

CONSTINE.

AND HIS DESCENDENTS

CREATED THIS WONDERFUL

CHURCH THERE.

NOW, WHEN THE MUSLIMS

CONQUERED IT, WHEN SULIMON

CONQUERED IT IN 1453, THE

FIRST THING HE DID WAS

RIDE HIS HORSE INTO THAT

CHURCH.

AND HE HAD AN IMAM WITH

HIM, AND THEY DID EXACTLY

WHAT HAPPENED IN JULY THIS

YEAR.

THEY ISSUED A CALL TO

PRAYER.

IN THE RELIGION OF ISLAM,

THAT MEANS IT IS NOW A

MOSQUE.

IT MEANS IT IS DEDICATED

TO THE WORSHIP OF ALLAH,

AND THEY HAVE CONQUERED

THE OTHER RELIGION.

NOW, THEY WERE ENERGIZED

BY A PROPHECY FROM THE

QURAN.

THAT FIRST CONSTANTINOPLE

WOULD FALL AND THEN ROME

WOULD FALL.

SO TO SEE THIS CALL TO

PRAYER ONCE AGAIN, THE

CHRISTIAN WORLD NEEDS TO

WAKE UP.

THIS IS A HIGHLY SYMBOLIC

ACT, AND IT IS

ESTABLISHING TURKEY ONCE

AGAIN WANTS TO BE AN

ASLASTIC REPUBLIC.

THEY HAVE BEEN AN ALLY OF

THE UNITED STATES.

NOW IF THEY BECOME AN

ISLAMIC STATE, WHAT DOES

THAT MEAN?

WHAT ARE HIS GOALS?

DOES HE SPECIFICALLY WANT

TO TAKE BACK THE LEVANT?

THAT IS A BIG DEAL BECAUSE

THAT MEANS HE WANTS TO

CONQUER ISRAEL.

HE WANTS TO TAKE BACK

LEBANON AND SYRIA AND IRAQ

AND JORDAN.

THOSE WERE ALL PART OF THE

OTTOMAN EMPIRE AT THE END

OF WORLD WAR I.

THEY WERE ALL DIVIDED BY

THE BRITISH, AND THE

BRITISH HAD A MANDATE OVER

PALESTINE.

AND THAT'S HOW WE GOT THE

MODERN STATE OF ISRAEL.

IT WAS CREATED THERE.

NOW, IF HE ATTACKS ISRAEL,

LOOK CAREFULLY AT EZEKIEL

38, IT TALKS ABOUT GOG AND

MAGOG, BUT IT ALSO TALKED

ABOUT GOMER, AND WHO IS

GOMER, THAT IS TURKEY.

WAS THIS COUP A REAL COUP

OR WAS IT SOME SORT OF

STAGED THING SO HE COULD

CONSOLIDATE HIS POWER?

BUT WE'RE SEEING VERY

CLEARLY HE WANTS TO CREATE

TURKEY, NOT AS A SECULAR

STATE, BUT AS A MUSLIM

STATE.

HE IS LIVING UNDER A

SECULAR DEMOCRACY NOW, AND

HE IS SAYING, WE NEED TO

CHANGE.

WE NEED TO CREATE THIS AS

A MUSLIM STATE.

AND NOW, IS HE GOING TO

ALSO ANNOUNCE HE IS A

CALIPH AND REESTABLISHMENT

AN CALIPHATE, AND WHAT

DOES THAT MEAN FOR ISRAEL?

NOW, ISIS HAS CREATED A

THE LOT OF PROBLEMS.

BUT YOU TALK ABOUT TURKEY,

AND THEIR ARMY IS HUGE.

IF THEY MAKE A MOVE

AGAINST ISRAEL, NOW WE'RE

TALKING ABOUT AN

CONFILIGRATION THAT IS

MIND-BOGGLING.

WE NEED TO PAY CLOSE

ATTENTION TO WHAT IS

HAPPENING IN TURKEY

BECAUSE LITERALLY WE'LL

SEEING BIBLE PROPHECY

FULFILLED.

Wendy: FASCINATING.

AND TURKEY IS A NATO ALLY.

Gordon: YES.

Wendy: BUT THIS COULD

STILL ALL FALL APART.

> UP NEXT, THE WORLD'S

BRAVEST BLUES MUSLIM TALKS

TO MEMBERS OF THE KU KLUX

KLAN.

YOU DON'T CHANGE THE

SYSTEM WITHOUT CHANGING

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE

SYSTEM.

Wendy: SEE HOW HE IS

CHANGING HEARTS AND MINDS

WHEN WE COME BACK.

Gordon: TENSIONS CAN

RUN HIGH WHEN IT COMES TO

TALKING ABOUT RACE IN THE

COMMUNITY.

WITHIN THE BLACK

COMMUNITY, EVEN, THERE ARE

DISAGREEMENTS ON THE

CORRECT APPROACH.

CAITLIN BURKE BRINGS US

THE STORY OF ONE MAN WHO

HAS TAKEN ON THE ISSUE IN

HIS OWN WAY, ONE PERSON AT

A TIME.

Reporter: PLAYING

MUSIC COMES AS NATURALLY

AS BREATHING FOR

58-YEAR-OLD BLUES MUSICIAN

DARYL DAVIS.

I'VE BEEN PLAYING MUSIC

PROFESSIONALLY FULL-TIME

SINCE 1980, WHEN I

GRADUATED COLLEGE AT THE

AGE OF 22.

Reporter: THROUGH

MUSIC, DAVIS HAS FORMED

SOME UNIQUE FRIENDSHIPS.

THAT'S SAM PHILIPS, THE

MAN WHO DISCOVERED ELVIS

PRESLEY, CHUCK BERRY,

DOLLY PARTON.

Reporter: AND ALSO

UNLIKELY ONES.

THAT WAS THE HEAD OF

THE MARYLAND KU KLUX KLAN.

I WAS THE ONLY BLACK

GUY IN THIS COUNTRY BAND,

AND CONSEQUENTLY, THE ONLY

BLACK GUY IN MANY OF THE

PLACES WHERE WE PLAYED.

Reporter: ONE PLACE

WAS THE SILVER DOLLAR

LOUNGE IN FREDERICK,

MARYLAND.

AND A WHITE MAN APPROACHED

DAVIS AS HE WALKED OFF THE

STAGE.

HE SAID, I REALLY LIKE

YOUR MUSIC.

AND I SAID THANK YOU.

AND I DON'T DRINK, BUT I

WENT BAC BACK TO HIS TABLE AND

HAD A CRANBURY JUICE WITH

HIM.

AND HE SAID, THAT'S THE

FIRST TIME HAD SAT DOWN

AND HAD A DRINK WITH A

BLACK MAN.

AND I THOUGHT, THIS MAN IS

REALLY HAVE A NIGHT OF

FIRSTS.

AND I WAS NAIVE.

AND I SAID, WHY IS THAT?

HE STARED AT THE TABLETOP

AND DIDN'T ANSWER ME.

AND HE HIT A FRIEND NEXT

TO ME, AND HE SAYS, TELL

HIM, TELL HIM.

AND SO FINALLY HE SAYS,

I'M A MEMBER OF THE KU

KLUX KLAN.

Reporter: DAVIS

PONDERED ONE QUESTION: HOW

CAN YOU HATE ME WHEN YOU

DON'T KNOW ME?

HIS UNLIKELY K.K.K.

CONNECTION INSPIRED HIM TO

START GETTING ANSWERS.

SOME YEARS LATER, WHEN

I DECIDED I WAS GOING TO

WRITE A BOOK ON THE KLAN.

Reporter: HIS

RESEARCH OFTEN PUT HIM IN

SOME DANGEROUS SITUATIONS,

BUT IT ALSO LED TO AN

UNEXPECTED CHANGE IN HIS

RELATIONSHIP WITH SOME

KLAN MEMBERS.

I WOULD ASK THEM

QUESTIONS, AND THEY WOULD

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS, BUT

THEY WOULDN'T ASK FOR MY

OPINION.

SO OVER TIME, I WOULD SAY,

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, AND THEY

WOULD SAY, I THINK, DAH,

DAH, DAH.

AND THEN THEY WOULD SAY,

WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK

ABOUT IT, DARYL?

WAIT A MINUTE, ALL OF A

SUDDEN I HAVE VALUE?

Reporter: HE SAYS HE

HAS CONVINCED 20 MEMBERS

OF THE KU KLUX KLAN TO

LEAVE THE ORGANIZATION.

AND WHEN THEY DID SO,

THEY GAVE ME THEIR ROBES

AND HOODS.

THAT'S JUST NOT DONE.

THIS UNIFORM REPRESENTS

WHITE SUPREMACY, AND

YOU'RE TAKING IT OFF AND

GIVING IT TO A BLACK MAN?

Reporter: PEOPLE ARE

FIGHTING RACISM THEIR OWN

WAY.

AND RATHER THAN CHANGE ONE

MIND AT A TIME, THIS

ACTIVIST GENERATION IS

USING SOCIAL MEDIA TO

REACH THE MASSES.

SOME IN THE "BLACK LIVES

MATTER" MOVEMENT SAY DAVIS

IS DEFEATING THEIR PURPOSE

WITH HIS RELATIONAL

APPROACH.

THE FACT I WOULD SIT

DOWN AND SPEND SO MUCH

TIME WITH THEM, RATHER

THAN SPREAD THE WORD OF

CHANGE.

YOU NEED A

MULTI-PRONGED ATTACK, FROM

THE FRONT, THE SIDE, THE

BACK, THE REAR WINDOW,

WHATEVER.

YOU DON'T CHANGE THE

SYSTEM WITHOUT CHANGING

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE

SYSTEM.

THAT'S WHY I AM SITTING

DOWN WITH THEM.

AND I'VE HAD SUCCESS.

Reporter: CAITLIN

BURKE, CBN NEWS,

BALTIMORE, MAYO MARYLAND.

Gordon: THAT'S A

REPORT YOU WON'T SEE

ANYWHERE ELSE.

WOULD A WONDERFUL THING.

LET'S CHANGE PEOPLE ONE

PERSON AT A TIME.

YOU CAN BUILD BRIDGES.

WHAT A WONDERFUL THING.

AT THE SAME TIME, WE NEED,

AS A NATION, TO TAKE ON

THE INJUSTICES THAT

CURRENTLY EXIST IN OUR

JUDICIAL SYSTEM.

I KNOW THAT SOUNDS ODD TO

SAY WILL IS INJUSTICE IN A

JUSTICE SYSTEM, BUT THERE

IS.

WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THE

STATS HERE, THAT IF YOU'RE

AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN MALE

BETWEEN 18 AND 34, YOU

HAVE A ONE-THIRD CHANCE OF

EITHER BEING IN PRISON OR

ON PAROLE.

WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT

IF YOU'RE AN

AFRICAN-AMERICAN MAN, YOU

HAVE A NINE TIMES MORE

LIKELY YOU'RE GOING TO BE

CONVICTED OF A CAPITAL

CRIME THAN A WHITE

DEFENDANT.

WHEN YOU GET INTO THOSE

STATS, YOU'VE GOT TO SAY

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG

HERE.

THIS JUST DOESN'T MAKE

SENSE.

WHY DOES IT SEEM TO BE SO

WEIGHTED AGAINST THE

AFRICAN-AMERICAN

COMMUNITY?

AND WHAT HAPPENS TO A

COMMUNITY WHEN ALL OF THE

FATHERS AGED 18 TO 34 ARE

DEALING WITH THE JUDICIAL

SYSTEM?

WHAT HAPPENS TO THEIR

FAMILIES WHEN DADDY IS IN

JAIL?

WHEN DADDY IS ON PAROLE?

WHEN DADDY CAN'T GET A

JOB?

IT CREATES A PERMANENT

SYSTEM.

WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT

VERY HONESTLY AND WE NEED NEED

TO HAVE SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE

IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS

NATION ONCE AGAIN ONE

NATION UNDER GOD,

INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY

AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

THEY SHOULDN'T JUST BE

WORDS.

THIS SHOULD BE REALITY IN

THE UNITED STATES OF

AMERICA TODAY.

AND CURRENTLY WE DON'T

HAVE THAT.

SO WE NEED TO CHANGE.

WE NEED TO LOOK AT IT.

AND WE NEED TO TAKE

SUBSTANTIAL STEPS IN ORDER

TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM.

WENDY?

Wendy: AMEN.

YOU'RE STARTING TO SOUND A

LITTLE LIKE A POLITICIAN

OVER HERE.

Gordon: I AM?

Wendy: IN A GOOD WAY.

A GOOD ONE.

Gordon: I THINK A

PROPER ROLE FOR THE CHURCH

IS TO BE THE CONSCIENCE OF

THE SOCIETY.

AND IF WE DON'T RAISE OUR

HANDS AND SAY, THIS ISN'T

RIGHT, WE'VE GOT TO DO

SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, AND

COLLECTIVELY WE CAN.

WE NEED TO HAVE GOD IN OUR

LIVES.

AND HE IS LOOKING FOR

JUSTICE IN OUR SOCIETY.

IF WE DON'T HAVE THAT,

INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE BEING

CONVICTED, THEN THERE IS

NO JUSTICE.

Wendy: THANKS,

GORDON.

> UP NEXT, A LAWYER IS

STALKED AND ABDUCTED BY A

MAN SHE ONCE DEFENDED.

AND I CAN SEE THIS LONG

STEEL BLADE COMING TOWARDS

ME.

AND HE SAID, THIS IS FOR

THE YEARS IN PRISON.

Wendy: FIND OUT HOW

SHE SURVIVED THAT ATTACK

WHEN WE RETURN.

Gordon: 14 TIMES IN

62 SECONDS, SHARON MUSE

IGNORED HER INNER WARNINGS

THAT WERE TELLING HER SHE

WAS IN DANGER.

A STRANGER APPROACHED HER

CAR, AND SHARON DIDN'T

WANT TO APPEAR RUDE.

AND THAT DECISION NEARLY

COST SHARON HER LIFE.

OKAY, WHAT'S GOING ON

OUT THERE?

WELL, THERE IS A WOMAN

HERE -- LET HER TELL YOU.

OKAY.

THIS IS THE STATE

POLICE, HONEY, TELL ME

WHAT IS GOING ON?

NUMBER ONE, I DON'T

EVEN KNOW WHERE I AM.

AND HE IS A FEW BLOCKS

DOWN THE ROAD.

WE GOT IN THE CAR, AND HE

KEPT SAYING, GO STRAIGHT.

AND HE GRABBED ME AND

PULLED A KNIFE ON ME.

HE PULLED A KNIFE ON

YOU?

I WANT YOU TO STAY ON THE

PHONE WITH ME, OKAY?

SHARON?

SHARON?

ARE YOU THERE?

Reporter: ATTORNEY

SHARON MUSE WAS LEAVING

HER OFFICE LATE ONE FRIDAY

AFTERNOON, WHEN A MAN SHE

DIDN'T RECOGNIZED ASKED

FOR HELP WITH THIS WIFE'S

WILL.

THEN HE ASKED HER FOR A

RIDE.

SO I'M THINKING, OKAY,

THE MAN'S WIFE JUST DIED,

AND YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO

MAKE HIM WALK HOME IN THE

RAIN.

I FELT LIKE I DIDN'T HAVE

PERMISSION TO CONTINUE TO

SAY NO.

Reporter: ONCE IN THE

CAR, HE BECAME VIOLENT,

FORCING HER TO DRIVE TO AN

ABANDONED FARMHOUSE.

THERE HE SLAMMED HER HEAD

INTO THE CONSOLE, PINNED

HER DOWN AND RIPPED OFF

HER BLOUSE.

THEN HE PULLED OUT A

KNIFE.

AND I CAN SEA SEE THIS LONG

STEEL BLADE COMING TOWARDS

ME.

AND HE IS LEANING OVER,

AND HE SAYS, HIS I THIS IS FOR

THOSE YEARS IN PRISON.

Reporter: SHARON

FINALLY REALIZED HER

ATTACKER WAS HANK SMITH, A

CLIENT SHE REPRESENTED IN

AN ARRAIGNMENT SIX YEARS

BEFORE.

NOW OUT OF PRISON, HE

BLAMED HER.

AND SHE KNEW THIS WAS THE

END.

HE IS PUSHING THE BLADE

INTO MY THROAT, AND I CAN

FEEL IT.

I CAN FEEL THE COLD STEEL

DOWN HERE, AND I CAN FEEL

THIS PRESSURE, LIKE,

PUSHING AND PUSHING IN

HERE.

AND HE SAYS TO ME, TAKE

YOUR PANTS OFF.

Reporter: SHARON

FIRMLY TOLD HIM NO.

THEN SUDDENLY SHE SAYS

HANK WAS PULLED OFF OF HER

AS IF BY SOME UNSEEN

FORCE.

SOMEHOW THE KNIFE JAMMED

INTO THE DASHBOARD,

BREAKING THE BLADE.

NOW SHE WAS ABLE TO FIGHT

BACK AND ESCAPE.

AND I POPPED UP TO THE

DITCH AND SPREAD EAGLE,

STOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE

ROAD.

THERE IS BLOOD EVERYWHERE.

AND I'M SCREAMING, STOP,

STOP!

HELP ME!

HELP ME!

Reporter: A MARRIED

COUPLE STOPPED TO HELP.

HIS WIFE SHIELDED SHARON

WHILE HER HUSBAND CALLE HANK AT

BAY.

AND THEY CALLED 9-1-1.

HANK WAS APPREHENDED AT

THE SCENE.

SHARON LEARNED HE INTENDED

TO RAPE, TORTURE, AND KILL

HER.

SHE KNEW GOD SAVED HER

LIFE.

THERE IS NO QUESTION

THAT GOD SHOWED UP THAT

DAY.

AND HE FOUGHT FOR ME.

IN MY MIND, IT'S LIKE I

KNOW THAT GOD IS HUGE AND

GOD IS EVERYWHERE, AND HE

CAN BE EVERYWHERE WITH

EVERYONE, BUT IT FELT LIKE

NOTHING ELSE MATTERED, AND

HE DRILLED DOWN ON THAT

SPOT AND HE FOUGHT FOR ME.

AND HE WAS, LIKE, NOT

TODAY.

YOU ARE NOT TAKING HER

TODAY.

Reporter: BUT HER

ORDEAL WAS FAR FROM OVER.

EVEN THOUGH HE WAS BEHIND

BARS, SHARON WAS IN A

CONSTANT STATE OF HIGH

ALERT.

ETCHED IN HER MIND WERE

THOSE MOMENTS, AND HANK'S

VOW HE WOULD NEVER REST

UNTIL HE KILLED HER.

THERE WERE TIMES I

WOULD JUST SHAKE OUT OF

CONTROL, I WOULD GRIND MY

TEETH.

I NEVER SLEPT.

MY WEIGHT WOULD PLUMMET,

AND THEN I WOULD GAIN AND

MY HAIR WOULD FALL OUT.

I HAD AN ANTIQUE DRESSER,

AND I WOULD PUSH IT IN

FRONT OF MY BEDROOM DOOR

EVERY NIGHT AND I WOULD

CALL THE JAIL TO MAKE SURE

HE WAS STILL IN, AND THEN

I WOULD TRY TO SLEEP.

Reporter: SHARON

LIVED ON EDGE AS HANK'S

TRIAL WAS DELAYED BECAUSE

OF TECHNICALITIES.

SHE DECIDED THERE WAS ONLY

ONE WAY TO STAY SAFE.

I HAD MY LICENSE FOR A

GUN.

IF I KILL THIS GUY, IT IS

NOT MURDER; IT IS

SELF-DEFENSE.

BECAUSE LOGICALLY, WHY

WOULD A PERSON WAIT AROUND

FOR SOMEONE TO COME BACK

AND TORTURE YOU AND RAPE

YOU AND KILL YOU.

THE LIFE I WAS LIVING

WASN'T A LIFE WORTH

LIVING.

IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN

THAT DIFFERENT THAN GOING

TO PRISON BECAUSE I WAS

ALREADY IN A PRISON.

Reporter: SHARON KNEW

WHEN AND WHERE HANK WOULD

BE TRANSFERRED FOR TRIAL,

AND WAITED FOR HER CHANCE.

BUT BEFORE SHE COULD CARRY

OUT HER PLAN, SHE ACCEPTED

AN INVITATION TO ATTEND A

CHURCH RETREAT.

AT THE RETREAT, THEY

ASK YOU TO WALK UP THAT

THIS AREA, WHEN YOU'RE

READY, AND THEY HAVE

PIECES OF PAPER AND

PENCILS, AND THEY ASK YOU

TO WRITE OUT YOUR SINS AND

YOUR STRUGGLES AND TO

REALLY THINK ABOUT WHAT IS

KEEPING YOU FROM THAT

SWEET COMMUNION WITH GOD.

Reporter: SHARON SAYS

GOD BEGAN TO SPEAK TO HER

ABOUT HANK.

IT WAS JUST THIS,

YOU'VE GOT TO LET HIM GO.

HE HAS HURT YOU, AND IT

HURTS, AND HE HAS WOUNDED

YOU, AND HE HAS TAKEN FROM

YOU AND TAKEN FROM YOU,

AND THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR

THAT.

BUT IT IS EATING YOU

ALIVE, AND I NEED YOU TO

FORGIVE HIM, NOT BECAUSE

HE DESERVES IT, NOT

BECAUSE HE HAS EARNED IT,

BUT BECAUSE I'M FORGIVING

YOU.

AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE

WAY TO FORGIVE HIM.

AND I'M WRITING THIS STUFF

OUT.

Reporter: SHARON

WROTE HIS FORGIVENESS ON A

PIECE OF PAPER AND NAILED

IT TO A CROSS.

I PHYSICALLY FELT

DIFFERENCE.

WHEN I STOOD UP FROM THE

KNEELING AND PRAYING --

WHEN I STOOD UP, I FELT

LIKE I WAS 20 POUNDS

LIGHTER.

Reporter: SHARON KNEW

GOD HAD SAVED HER LIFE A

SECOND TIME.

THE FIRST TIME HE

PHYSICALLY RESCUED ME IN

THE CAR.

AND AT THIS RETREAT, I

FEEL LIKE HE SPIRITUALLY

RESCUED ME.

AGAIN, HE IS PURSUING ME

AND CHASING ME AND LOVING

ON ME.

AND I THANK GOD THAT HE IS

SO MUCH BIGGER AND MORE

LOVING THAN I EVER

IMAGINED.

HE SAVED ME FROM THAT.

I CAN'T IMAGINE IF I

ACTUALLY HAD GONE THROUGH

WITH THAT.

Reporter: SHARON

BRAVED TWO TRIALS OVER THE

NEXT FIVE YEARS.

HANK WAS CONVICTED OF

KIDNAPPING AND SENTENCED

TO LIFE IN PRISON.

HE IS ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE

IN 10 YEARS.

SHARON STILL STRUGGLES

WITH MOMENTS OF FEAR, BUT

CHOOSES TO FORGIVE HIM

EVERY DAY.

TO THINK THAT GOD LOVES

HIM AND IS PURSUING HIM,

AND WANTS TO BRING HIM IN

AND DO EVERYTHING FOR HIM

THAT HE HAS DONE FOR ME --

I'M THANKFUL THAT WE

WORSHIP A GOD LIKE THAT.

Reporter: TODAY SHE

IS RESTORING HER FAMILY'S

HORSE FARM, TO OFFER OTHER

VICTIMS LEGAL ADVICE,

SELF-DEFENSE, AND A PLACE

TO HEAL.

THERE IS NOTHING --

NOTHING -- THAT IS WORTH

HOLDING ON TO THAT CAN

POSSIBLY REPLACE THE

FREEDOM AND THE JOY AND

THE FREEDOM THAT YOU GET

WHEN YOU LET THAT GO.

YOU ARE NOT LETTING THEM

OFF THE HOOK.

THEY WILL ANSWER TO GOD.

GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF

THEM.

AND THEN YOU GET TO JUST

ENJOY YOUR RELATIONSHIP

WITH GOD.

AND TAP INTO ALL OF THAT

POWER THAT YOU NEED TO

HEAL FROM THE HURT THAT

THEY'VE CAUSED YOU.

I'M HAPPY.

I SMILE A LOT.

I LAUGH.

I'M BACK.

I GOT MY LIFE BACK.

Gordon: AND YOU CAN

HAVE YOUR LIFE BACK, TOO.

SHARON SAID A GREAT

SECRET, IT IS ONE OF THE

WONDERFUL SECRETS.

AND WHEN YOU DISCOVER IT,

YOU DISCOVER THE SOLUTION

FOR EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM

YOU HAVE.

AND THAT IS ANYTHING THAT

SEPARATES YOU FROM GOD --

ANYTHING THAT IS

SEPARATING YOU FROM THE

SOURCE OF POWER FOR YOU TO

CHANGE, FOR YOU TO GROW,

FOR YOU TO BECOME ALL THAT

GOD INTENDED YOU TO BE.

AND JESUS SAID IT OVER AND

OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

HOW MANY TIMES DID HE

MENTION HOW UNFORGIVENESS

BLOCKS US.

HE TOLD A PARABLE OF

SOMEONE WHO HAD BEEN

FORGIVEN A DEBT, AND THE

KING SET HIM FREE FROM IT.

AND THEN HE GOES OUT AND

DEMANDS PAYMENT FROM

SOMEBODY THAT OWES HIM

MONEY.

AND HE PUTS HIM INTO

PRISON.

AND THE KING FINDS OUT

ABOUT ITMENT AND H IT.

AND HE SAYS, IF YOU'RE

GOING TO DO THAT TO

SOMEBODY THAT OWES YOU

MONEY, WELL, I'M GOING TO

PUT YOU IN PRISON, TOO.

IT'S AN ILLUSTRATION OF

WHAT HAPPENS TO US WHEN WE

LET UNFORGIVENESS INTO OUR

HEARTS, INTO OUR INNERMOST

BEING.

NOW, SHARON HAD PLENTY OF

REASON TO NOT LIKE THE GUY

WHO ATTACKED HER, WANTED

TO KILL HER, WANTED TO

RAPE HER.

SHE HAD PLENTY OF REASONS,

PLENTY OF REASONS.

AND ONE OF THE HARDEST

THINGS TO GIVE UP IS WHEN

WE'RE RIGHT.

WHEN THE INJUSTICE DONE

GENS US IS SO EXTREME AND

SO BAD.

IT'S ONE OF THE HARDEST

THINGS TO GIVE UP.

BUT SHARON FOUND A WAY.

AND HER WAY WAS TO WRITE

IT OUT ON A PIECE OF

PAPER.

AND THEN TAKE IT AND NAIL

IT TO A CROSS.

AND IN THAT PROCESS, SHE

WOKE UP.

SHE STOOD UP FROM THAT.

SHE WOKE UP SPIRITUALLY,

BUT STOOD UP SAYING,

SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME

CHANGED.

WHEN I DECIDED TO

FORGIVE.

NOW, SUDDENLY HER PATH TO

GOD WAS OPEN.

THE STRENGTH THAT HE IS

ABLE TO GIVE, THE PEACE HE

IS ABLE TO GIVE, THE

FORGIVENESS HE IS ABLE TO

GIVE ALL STARTED FALLING

THROUGH HER LIFE.

JESUS SAYS, WHEN YOU STAND

PRAYING, IF YOU HAVE OUGHT

AGAINST ANY, STOP YOUR

PRAYER, GO AND MAKE IT

RIGHT -- WHATEVER YOU NEED

TO DO TO GET FREE FROM

THAT -- MAKE IT RIGHT AND

THEN COME BACK AND PRAY.

IT IS A KEY TO MIRACLES.

IT IS A KEY TO

TRANSFORMATION.

IT IS A KEY TO GETTING

YOUR LIFE BACK.

UNFORGIVENESS, BITTERNESS,

REVENGE, ALL OF THOSE

THINGS, IT KILLS US.

IT'S LIKE DRINKING POISON

AND EXPECTING THE OTHER

PERSON TO DIE.

AND THEY CONTINUE TO HURT

YOU EVERY TIME YOU

REMEMBER IT.

EVERY TIME YOU HOLD ON TO

IT.

NOW, FORGIVENESS DOESN'T

MEAN THAT GOD IS SOMEHOW

GOING TO GIVE THEM A FREE

PASS.

REALIZE THAT VENGEANCE IS

MINE, SAYETH THE LORD.

FORGIVENESS IS NOT FOR

THEM.

IT'S FOR YOU.

SO THAT LOVE AND PEACE AND

JOY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS CAN

ONCE AGAIN BE IN YOUR

LIFE, IN YOUR HEART, IN

YOUR INNERMOST BEING.

IT WILL RENEW YOU.

IT WILL GIVE YOU BACK YOUR

LIFE AGAIN.

IF YOU WANT THIS, WHAT I

WANT YOU TO DO IS BOW YOUR

HEAD WITH ME.

LET'S PRAY A VERY SIMPLE

PRAYER.

WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY

TO DO IT ON OUR OWN, BUT

WITH HIM WE CAN DO THESE

THINGS.

WITH HIM WE CAN FORGIVE.

WHAT SEEMS TO BE

IMPOSSIBLE, WE CAN

FORGIVE.

REALIZE YOU'RE PRAYING TO

THE ONE WHO FORGAVE HIS

TORTURERS FROM THE CROSS,

THE VERY PEOPLE THAT

NAILED HIM TO A CROSS.

HE WAS ABLE TO FORGIVE.

AND THAT SAME FORGIVENESS

CAN FLOW THROUGH YOU, SO

YOU, TOO, CAN HAVE A HOPE

AND A FUTURE.

SO LET'S PRAY, AND LET'S

PRAY FOR YOU.

THAT YOU GET THE

BREAKTHROUGH YOU NEED

TODAY.

PRAY WITH ME.

JESUS -- THAT'S RIGHT,

JUST SAY HIS NAME.

SAY IT OUT LOUD.

JESUS, I COME TO YOU TODAY

AND I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW

THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE HURT

ME.

YOU KNOW THE THINGS THAT

WERE DONE TO ME.

AND, JESUS, RIGHT NOW, OUT

LOUD, I SAY I FORGIVE

THEM.

I SET THEM FREE.

THEY OWE ME NOTHING.

I DON'T CARE IF THEY EVER

APOLOGIZE.

I SET THEM FREE.

AND I FORGIVE THEM.

AND, JESUS, I WANT YOU TO

NOW FILL MY LIFE WITH YOUR

PEACE AND YOUR LOVE AND

YOUR FORGIVENESS.

JESUS, SET ME FREE FROM

THEM.

SO I NO LONGER HURT, I NO

LONGER LIVE IN FEAR, BUT I

CAN WALK WITH YOU IN

FREEDOM AND IN JOY AND IN

LIGHT.

HEAR MY PRAYER, FOR I ASK

IT IN JESUS' NAME.

AMEN.

FATHER, FOR THOSE WHO JUST

PRAYED, FILL THEM WITH

YOUR HOLY SPIRIT.

BREATHE ON THEM, LORD GOD,

AND SET THEM FREE.

LET THEM WALK FREE FROM

THIS.

FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, LET

THERE BE A CHANGE IN THEIR

HEART, IN THEIR MINDS, IN

THEIR OUTLOOK ON LIFE.

GIVE THEM NEWNESS OF LIFE,

LORD GOD.

FOR I ASK IT IN JESUS'

NAME.

AMEN.

IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME,

THERE IS ONE MORE THING I

WANT YOU TO DO: I WANT YOU

TO GO TO A PHONE AND CALL

US.

1-800-759-0700.

WHEN YOU CALL, WE'VE GOT A

FREE BOOK LET FOR YOU.

IT IS ON FORGIVENESS.

AND I'VE LEARNED IN MY

LIFE FORGIVENESS IS MORE

THAN A ONE-TIME THING.

IT CAN BE A PROCESS.

IT WILL TEACH YOU WHAT THE

BIBLE SAYS ABOUT O IT.

IT.

HOW YOU CAN BE FREE FROM

BITTERNESS, FROM ANGER,

FROM RESENTMENT, FROM ALL

OF THE THINGS THAT ARE

PLAGUING YOU.

WE WANT YOU TO HAVE THIS.

NO FINANCIAL OBLIGATION AT

ALL.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL

AND WE'LL SEND IT TO YOU:

1-800-759-0700.

WENDY, OVER TO YOU.

Wendy: THANKS,

GORDON.

STILL AHEAD, A MOTHER

IS CAUGHT BETWEEN A ROCK

AND A HARD PLACE, BUT IN

THIS CASE, TWO MID-SIZED

SEDANS.

ALL OF A SUDDEN I

COULDN'T BREATHE.

IT WAS LIKE THAT.

I KNEW IN THAT MOMENT, I'M

GOING TO DIE IN MY OWN

DRIVEWAY.

Wendy: HEAR THE REST

OF HER STORY.

THAT'S LATER ON TODAY'S

"700 CLUB."

Efrem: AND WELCOME

GORDON AND WENDY ARE BACK

CLUB."

IT'S COMING UP RIGHT AFTER

THIS.

Wendy: LIKE MANY

GRANDPARENTS, GRANDMA RATH

IS RAISING HER GRANDSON.

BUT SHE AND HER HUSBAND

BARELY HAVE ENOUGH FOOD TO

FEED THEMSELVES.

THE FAMILY BECAME SO

DESPERATE, THAT THEIR

YOUNGEST GRANDSON HAD TO

BEG FOR FOOD FROM THEIR

NEIGHBORS.

BUT NOT ANYMORE, THANKS TO

PEOPLE WHO CARED ENOUGH TO

GIVE.

Reporter: LIFE HAS

BEEN TOUGH FOR GRANDMA

RATH.

SIX YEARS AGO, SHE BEGAN

RAISING HER GRANDSONS

AFTER HE THEIR MOTHER

ABANDONED THEM.

SHE REMEMBERS THERE WERE

TIMES WHEN SHE HAD TO SEND

THEIR 3-YEAR-OLD TO BEG

FOR FOOD FROM A NEIGHBOR.

WE HADN'T HAD ANYTHING

TO EAT.

I SENT HIM TO ASK A WOMAN

IF SHE WOULD HELP HIM.

SHE GAVE HIM A LITTLE

FOOD.

Reporter: ARTHRITIS

IN HER HIPS HAVE FORCED

GRANDMA TO USE A WALKER TO

GET AROUND.

THEY SURVIVED ON THE

LITTLE HER HUSBAND MAKES

AS A FISHERMAN.

THEN THEY NEARLY LOST THE

SMALL HOUSE THEY WERE

RENTING, TOO.

THEY WONDERED HOW LONG

THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO

CONTINUE TAKING CARE OF

THEIR GRANDSONS.

MORE THAN ONCE OUR LAND

LADY THREATENED TO PUT US

OUT ON THE STREET IF WE

DIDN'T PAY THE RENT.

I BEGGED HER TO HAVE

MERCY.

I WOULD SEE SOME

GRANDMA CRY SOME TIMES.

IT MADE ME CRY, TOO.

I LOVE HER VERY MUCH.

Reporter: TO HELP

THEM, CBN FIRST EVALUATED

THEIR NEED AND DISCOVERED

THAT WITH A MOTORCYCLE AND

SIDE CAR, GRANDPA COULD

INCREASE HIS BUSINESS AS A

FISHERMAN.

AND HE COULD ALSO USE THE

MOTORBIKE TO FIND JOBS IN

CONSTRUCTION.

WHERE HE ALSO HAD SOME

SKILLS.

WITH THAT INVESTMENT, THE

COUPLE NOW HAS ENOUGH

MONEY FOR FOOD AND OTHER

HOUSEHOLD NEEDS.

I'M SO GLAD THAT WE

DON'T HAVE TO BE HUNGRY

ANYMORE.

THANK YOU, CBN, FOR

HELPING MY FAMILY.

GORDON?

Gordon: RACHEL KELLY

WAS SANDWICHED BETWEEN TWO

CARS, AND SHE KNEW EVERY

GASP FOR AIR COULD HAVE

BEEN HER LAST.

SO WITH 4,000 POUNDS OF

STEEL SITTING ON HER

TORSO, RACHEL DID THE ONLY

THING SHE COULD DO.

SHE PRAYED.

I COULDN'T BREATHE AT

ALL.

I KNEW IN THAT MOMENT, I'M

GOING TO DIE IN MY OWN

DRIVEWAY, WHILE MY FAMILY

IS INSIDE THE HOUSE.

Reporter: IN

MAY 2009, RACHEL KELLY WAS

PREPARING TO CELEBRATE

MOTHER'S DAY.

SHE HAD JUST GIVEN BIRTH

TO HER SECOND CHILD TWO

MONTHS EARLIER.

ON A NORMAL AFTERNOON SHE

DROVE TO TOWN TO BUY HER

OWN MOTHER A GIFT.

WHEN SHE RETURNED HOME,

HER LIFE FLASHED BEFORE

HER EYES.

OUR DRIVEWAY IS ON THE

SIDE OF THE HOUSE AND IT

IS A LITTLE SLOPED.

JUST BEING IN A HURRY,

RUSHING AROUND ALL OF THE

TIME, AND I DIDN'T PUT THE

CAR INTO PARK.

AND SO I GOT OUT AND IT

KEPT ROLLING.

Reporter: IN A MATTER

OF SECONDS, RACHEL'S UPPER

BODY WAS CRUSHED BETWEEN

HER STILL ROLLING CAR AND

HER HUSBAND'S VEHICLE.

ALL OF A SUDDEN I

COULDN'T BREATHE.

IT WAS LIKE THAT.

IT IS LIKE ALMOST WITH

EVERY BREATH I TOOK, IT

CARS WOULD TAKE THAT MUCH

MORE OF MY LUNG CAPACITY.

I KNEW I WAS SUFFOCATING.

I WAS THE ONLY THING

KEEPING MY CAR FROM JUST

GOING ON INTO THE STREET.

ROW BECAUSE O Reporter: BECAUSE OF

THE WAY SHE WAS

POSITIONED, RACHEL COULD

REACH THE STEERING WHEEL.

A VOICE CAME INTO MY

HEAD, AND I KNOW THAT WAS

THE LORD, LAY ON THE HORN.

IT WAS THAT CLEAR.

Reporter: RACHEL'S

HUSBAND, MICHAEL, WAS

WATCHING THE CHILDREN AND

RAN OUTSIDE WHEN HE HEARD

THE HORN.

TO SEE MY WIFE

SUFFOCATING LIKE THAT,

RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES, AND

KNOWING THAT, OKAY, IT IS

MY RESPONSIBILITY TO GET

THIS CAR OFF OF HER.

Reporter: BECAUSE OF

THE DOWNHILL ANGLE OF THE

CAR, MICHAEL WAS UNABLE TO

MOVE IT IN HIS OWN

STRENGTH.

IN DESPERATION, HE PRAYED

FOR HELP TO ARRIVE.

GOD, YOU'VE GIVEN ME A

WONDERFUL WIFE AND TWO

WONDERFUL KIDS.

DON'T TAKE HER AWAY FROM

ME RIGHT NOW.

I JUST KNEW THAT THAT WAS

NOT THE TIME FOR HER TO

GO.

Reporter: AT THE SAME

TIME, KEITH STRAFFORD

HEARD THE CHAOS FROM DOWN

THE STREET.

I HEARD SOMEONE YELLING

HELP, AND IT LOOKED PRETTY

BAD.

I SAW THE CARS WERE

SITTING JUST WEDGED IN

THERE TOGETHER.

JUST THE LOOK ON HER FACE,

AND, LIKE, YOU'VE GOT TO

GET THIS OFF OF ME OR I

CAN DIE.

OH, LORD, YOU'VE GOT TO

HELP ME.

YOU HAVE TO SAVE ME.

THIS CAN'T BE THE WAY I'M

GOING TO GO.

I HAVE TO BE HERE TO RAISE

MY CHILDREN.

I HAVE TO BE HERE TO BE A

WIFE TO MICHAEL.

Reporter: MORE HELP

ARRIVED JUST SECONDS

LATER, THROUGH A COUPLE

WHO HAPPENED TO TAKE A

DIFFERENT ROUTE HOME THAT

DAY.

THE FOUR WERE ABLE TO MOVE

THE CAR TOGETHER.

PARAMEDICS ARRIVED SHORTLY

AFTER AND TOOK RACHEL TO A

LOCAL HOSPITAL.

BECAUSE SHE HAD THOUSANDS

OF POUNDS ON HER CHEST FOR

SEVERAL MINUTES, HER

DOCTOR DECIDED TO LIFE

FLIGHT HER TO ANOTHER

HOSPITAL IN CASE OF LIVER

DAMAGE.

AS I WAS BEING WHEELED

OUT TO THE HELICOPTER, I

THOUGHT, I DON'T KNOW IF

I'LL SEE MY HUSBAND AND

KIDS AGAIN.

I KNOW GOD IS HERE WITH

ME.

HE IS HERE IN THIS

HELICOPTER WITH ME.

I KNEW THAT I WAS SAVED.

I KNEW THAT THE HOLY

SPIRIT WAS GUIDING ME.

I KNEW THAT JESUS WAS WITH

ME.

IF I DON'T END UP COMING

BACK, I KNOW WHERE I'M

GOING.

Reporter: AS NEWS OF

RACHEL'S ASKED SPREAD,

PEOPLE ALL OVER THE

COUNTRY STARTED PRAYING

FOR HER SURVIVAL AND

HEALING.

THE BODY OF CHRIST

COMING TOGETHER TO HELP

OTHER PEOPLE JUST REALLY

ENCOURAGED US.

Reporter: RACHEL WAS

KEPT OVERNIGHT IN

VANDERBILT'S INTENSIVE

TRAUMA UNIT.

AFTER RUNNING A BATTERY OF

TESTS, DOCTORS WERE

SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THAT

RACHEL DIDN'T HAVE A

SINGLE BROKEN BONE.

ANY TRAUMA TO HER UPPER

TORSO OR LUNGS OR ANY

INTERNAL BLEEDING.

SHE DIDN'T NEED ANY

FURTHER TREATMENT.

WITH THE PRAYER AND

EVERYBODY LIFTING HER UP,

I KNOW THAT'S WHY SHE

WALKED AWAY FROM THE

HOSPITAL TRULY HEALED.

I THINK IT REALLY

BOOSTS YOUR FAITH THAT GOD

REALLY DOES WORK THINGS

TOGETHER FOR YOUR GOOD.

HE WORKED THINGS FROM ALL

ANGLES THAT DAY.

Reporter: TODAY

RACHEL IS STILL HEALTHY

AND THE COUPLE NOW HAS

FOUR CHILDREN.

THEY SAY THE INCIDENT

HELPS THEM BE THANKFUL FOR

EACH DAY GOD LIVES THEM

AND TO LIVE FOR WHAT IS

IMPORTANT.

IT IS SO EASY TO GET

CAUGHT UP AND COMPLAIN

ABOUT ROUTINE ACTIVITIES,

ESPECIALLY FOR

STAY-AT-HOME MOMS OR ANY

KIND OF MOM THAT IS JUST

WARN OUT, AND I SAW HOW

QUICK YOU CAN GO, AND IT

CAN BE AT ANY MOMENT.

IT HAPPENED IN THE BLINK

OF AN EYE.

IT IS POLITELY TH ABSOLUTELY THE MOST

IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE,

IS WHERE YOU WILL SPEND

YOUR ETERNITY.

Gordon: GOD IS OUR

VERY PRESENT HELP IN TIME

OF TROUBLE.

HERE IS RACHEL, AND SHE IS

OBVIOUSLY IN A

LIFE-THREATENING

SITUATION.

AND HERE IS A VOICE

TELLING HER TO LAY ON THE

HORN.

AND THAT PROVIDED THE

RELIEF THAT SHE NEEDED.

AND THEN OTHER PEOPLE CAME

BY.

IT WAS WONDERFUL.

GOD WAS HER VERY PRESENT

HELP IN TIME OF NEED.

AND THEN IN THE HOSPITAL,

ON A LIFE FLIGHT, HE WAS

THERE WITH HER.

AND HE PROVIDED A MIRACLE.

NOW, IS RACHEL SOMEHOW

SPECIAL?

WELL, YES, SHE IS

WONDERFULLY MADE.

SHE HAS THE BREATH OF GOD

IN HER.

BUT SO DO YOU.

AND GOD LOVES YOU EQUALLY.

AND WHAT HE DID FOR

RACHEL, HE WANTS TO DO FOR

YOU.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS

BELIEVE.

AND CALL ON HIS NAME.

NOW, HE HAS GOT A LOT OF

NAMES.

EACH ONE IS DESIGNED TO BE

FOR YOU.

TO LET YOU KNOW THAT HE IS

YOUR HEALER.

HE IS YOUR PROVIDER.

HE IS YOUR STRENGTH.

HE IS YOUR SAVIOR.

HE IS YOUR DELIVERER.

HE IS ALL OF THESE THINGS.

SO WE'RE GOING TO PRAY.

AND IN AN ACT OF FAITH,

JUST SAY IT OUT LOUD WHAT

YOU NEED, AND CALL ON HIS

NAME.

CALL ON THAT NAME THAT YOU

NEED.

IF YOU NEED A PROVIDER,

CALL ON THAT.

IF YOU NEED A HEALER, CALL

ON THAT.

AND WE'RE GOING TO AGREE,

AND GOD IS GOING DO DO

WHAT HE HAS PROMISED TO

DO.

LET'S PRAY.

LORD, WE LIFT THE NEEDS OF

THE AUDIENCE TO YOU.

WE ASK FOR RESTORATION AND

SALVATION FOR THEM.

DO IT, LORD, FOR WE ASK IT

IN JESUS' NAME.

AMEN.

AND AMEN.

IF YOU NEED PRAYER, WE'RE

HERE FOR YOU.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL

US: 1-800-759-0700.

HERE IS A WORD FOR YOU:

"HE SHALL GIVE HIS ANGELS

CHARGE OVER YOU TO KEEP

YOU IN ALL YOUR WAYS."
