Pat: WELL, WELCOME.

WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN TODAY

WITH A SPECIAL INTERVIEW

WITH GOVERNOR MIKE PENCE,

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR

VICE PRESIDENT.

GOVERNOR, SOME YEARS AGO

PAUL WAXAL, WHO WAS

CAMPAIGN MANAGER FOR

RONALD REAGAN, TOLD ME

THAT THE PRESS WAS SO

SCURRILOUS ABOUT REAGAN,

HE DID NOT EVEN WANT TO

LET HIM SEE THE PAPERS.

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING TO

SET THE LEFT ON FIRE.

THIS VITRIOL ON DONALD

TRUMP IS UNPRECEDENTED.

I'LL TELL YOU, PAT, IT

HAS BEEN AMAZING.

IT IS GOOD TO BE WITH YOU,

BY THE WAY.

IT HAS VIRTUALLY BEEN TWO

ON ONE EVERY DAY WITH THE

NATIONAL MEDIA DOING HALF

OF HILLARY CLINTON'S WORK

FOR HER.

THE REMARKABLE THING IS

DONALD TRUMP IS WINNING

HEARTS AND MINDS EVERY DAY

AND THAT'S BECAUSE HE IS

FOCUSING ON THE ISSUES THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE

FOCUSED ON.

AND, THAT IS, RESTORING A

STRONGER AMERICA IN THE

WORLD, REBUILDING OUR

MILITARY, CONFRONTING

RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM,

AND AT HOME, RESTORING LAW

AND ORDER TO OUR STREETS,

GETTING THIS ECONOMY

MOVING AGAIN, NOT THROUGH

THE TAX INCREASES AND

INCREASED REGULATION AND

MORE GOVERNMENT THAT

HILLARY CLINTON ADVOCATES,

BUT THROUGH LESS TAXES,

LESS REGULATION, REPEALING

OBAMACARE, AND ENDING THE

WAR ON COAL.

ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT

HAVE REVIVED OUR ECONOMY

IN THE PAST AND WILL

REVIVE IT AGAIN.

AND THAT ALONG WITH THE

ENORMOUS IMPORTANCE OF THE

SUPREME COURT OF THE

UNITED STATES.

I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THE

MESSAGE THAT DONALD TRUMP

IS DELIVERING ACROSS THIS

COUNTRY TO MAKE AMERICA

GREAT AGAIN IS BREAKING

THROUGH, EVEN THROUGH THE

OVERWHELMING BIAS OF THE

NATIONAL PRESS.

Pat: THEY WILL NOT

TALK ABOUT ISSUES.

YOU JUST WENT THROUGH A

LITANY OF IMPORTANT ISSUES

THAT ARE ON PEOPLE'S

MINDS, AND ALL THEY WANT

TO TALK ABOUT IS AN

11-YEAR-OLD SEX TAPE.

WHAT IS IT WITH THESE

GUYS?

WELL, IT REALLY IS

AMAZING.

AND LET ME BE CLEAR, I WAS

PLEASED THAT DONALD TRUMP,

THIS LAST WEEKEND AND ON

SEVERAL OCCASIONS, SPOKE

UP WITH HUMILITY AND

APOLOGIZED FOR THOSE

REMARKS 11 YEARS AGO.

I'M VERY PROUD OF THE FACT

THAT HE ALSO, IN THAT

PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE,

REFOCUSED ON THE ISSUES OF

ENORMOUS IMPORTANCE TO THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE.

LOOK, PAT, I ACCEPTED THE

OPPORTUNITY TO RUN FOR

VICE PRESIDENT BECAUSE I

THINK THIS COUNTRY IS IN A

LOT OF TROUBLE.

SEVEN AND A HALF YEARS OF

BARACK OBAMA AND HILLARY

CLINTON'S BRAND OF

LEADERSHIP HAS LITERALLY

WEAKENED AMERICA'S PLACE

IN THE WORLD, IT HAS

EMBOLDENED THE ENEMIES OF

THIS COUNTRY AROUND THE

GLOBE, IT HAS STIFLED THE

AMERICAN ECONOMY.

IT SET US ON A PATHWAY OF

WALKING AWAY FROM SOME OF

OUR MOST CHERISHED,

GOD-GIVEN LIBERTIES.

I'M GOING TO FIGHT EVERY

DAY, FOR THE NEXT 26 DAYS,

HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA, AND

YESTERDAY IN VIRGINIA, AND

ALL ACROSS THIS COUNTRY TO

CARRY DONALD TRUMP'S

MESSAGE TO MAKE AMERICA

GREAT AGAIN TO EVERY

CORNER OF THE LAND.

Pat: I FOUNDED THE

AMERICAN CENTER FOR LAW

AND JUSTICE AND WE HAVE

GOT A NUMBER OF VICTORIES

IN THE SUPREME COURT, BUT

RIGHT NOW OUR PEOPLE DON'T

DARE TO GO TO THE COURT

BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY'LL

GET A DECISION AGAINST

THEM.

A 5-4 COURTS WOULD KILL

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.

THEY DEALT ONLY WITH

MALITIAS, WHICH MEANS THEY

WOULD DISARM THE

POPULATION.

IT IS A VERY, VERY SERIOUS

THING YOU GUYS ARE DEALING

WITH.

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY

RIGHT, PAT.

I TELL PEOPLE, AND I SAID

THIS IN RALEIGH, NORTH

CAROLINA LAST NIGHT, THAT

AS IMPORTANT AS NATIONAL

SECURITY IS -- AND WE'VE

GOT TO BE STRONGER IN THE

WORLD -- AS IMPORTANT AS

LAW AND ORDER IS, AS

IMPORTANT AS GETTING THIS

ECONOMY MOVING AGAIN,

MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT

ISSUE ON THE BALLOT IS THE

FACT THAT THE NEXT

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

STATES WILL PROBABLY SET

THE COURSE AND DIRECTION

OF THE SUPREME COURT FOR

THE NEXT 40 YEARS.

AND IT'S ON ALL OF THOSE

ISSUES THAT ARE ENSHRINED

IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS.

YOU HEARD HILLARY CLINTON

IN THE PRESIDENTIAL

DEBATE, WHEN SHE WAS ASKED

ABOUT APPOINTMENTS TO THE

COURT, IT WAS A CHECK LIST

OF THINGS SHE WANTED THE

COURT TO DO AND CONTINUE

TO DO.

THAT'S CALLED LEGISLATING

FROM THE BENCH.

IN DONALD TRUMP, YOU CAN

LOOK AT THE LIST OF SOME

20 MEN AND WOMEN,

CONSERVATIVE JURISTS THAT

HE'LL BE DRAWING FROM TO

FILL NOT ONLY THE VACANCY

LEFT OF AN OF ANTONIN SCALIA,

BUT AS WE GO FORWARD.

WE'LL MAKE APPOINTMENTS AT

EVERY LEVEL, FROM THE

SUPREME COURT COUR DOWN, THAT

WILL STAND BY OUR

CONSTITUTION, THE FREEDOM

OF SPEECH, THE FREEDOM OF

RELIGION, AND STAND BY OUR

SECOND AMENDMENT.

IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO

POINT OUT THAT HILLARY

CLINTON ACTUALLY SAID THAT

THAT ONE 5-1 DECISION

ABOUT THE SECOND AMENDMENT

WAS WRONGLY DECIDED.

THAT WAS DECIDED BY ONE

VOTE.

ALL THAT DECISION SAID WAS

THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR

ARMS IN THE CONSTITUTION

WAS AN INDIVIDUAL RIGHT.

AND HILLARY CLINTON

THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS

WRONG.

ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE

LIBERTIES.

THE DECISIONS OF THE

SUPREME COURT AND THE ROLE

IT PLAYS IN OUR LIVES, IT

IS OF ENORMOUS IMPORTANCE,

AND EVERYONE WITHIN THE

SOUND OF MY VOICE SHOULD

KNOW THAT 26 DAYS FROM NOW

WE MUST ENSURE THAT THE

NEXT PRESIDENT MAKING

APPOINTMENTS TO THE

SUPREME COURT OF THE

UNITED NATIONS WILL BE

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.

Pat: SOME YEARS AGO,

I ENCOUNTERED THE

ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIGOTRY IN

THE WAR "WASHINGTON POST." I

UNDERSTAND THESE

WikiLEAKS THINGS SAY

THAT HILLARY'S PEOPLE HAVE

BEEN DISCUSSING

ANTI-CATHOLIC BIGOTRY OF

AN ALARMING EXTENT.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT

THAT?

WELL, IT'S ALL PART OF

AN AVALANCHE COMING OUT OF

THE YEARS OF THE CLINTON

FOUNDATION AND MAKING

THEIR WAY TO THE INTERNET.

I HAVE TO TELL YOU, AS

FELLOW BELIEVER, I WAS

DEEPLY TROUBLED THAT

HILLARY CLINTON'S

COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR,

IN AN E-MAIL, MADE

ANTI-CATHOLIC AND

ANTI-CHRISTIAN REMARKS.

SHE ACTUALLY REFERRED TO

EVANGELICALS AS BEING NOT

SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE.

SHE SAID TO BE CATHOLIC

WAS MORE SOCIALLY

ACCEPTABLE THAN TO BE

EVANGELICAL, BUT THERE

WERE ALSO DEMEANING

COMMENTS ABOUT THE

CATHOLIC FAITH. YOU'VE

SEEN IT OVER THE COURSE OF

YOUR CAREER, THESE

ELITISTS IN WASHINGTON,

D.C. -- HILLARY CLINTON

SHOULD DENOUNCE THOSE

COMMENTS IMMEDIATELY AND

CALL ON HER COMMUNICATIONS

DIRECTOR TO APOLOGIZE TO

CATHOLICS AND EVANGELICAL

CHRISTIANS ACROSS AMERICA

AND DO IT IMMEDIATELY.

Pat: YOU KNOW, THERE

WAS A SUBPOENA FROM THE

CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE

ABOUT CERTAIN E-MAILS,

ABOUT CERTAIN DOCUMENTS,

AND ALSO CERTAIN PIECES OF

EQUIPMENT.

AND UNDER THAT SUBPOENA,

THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, OR

THE F.B.I., INSTRUCTED

THOSE PEOPLE TO DESTROY

ACTUALLY THE EVIDENCE THAT

WAS REQUESTED BY A

CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE.

THAT, TO ME, IS ABSOLUTELY

APPALLING.

WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A

GREAT OUTCRY ABOUT THAT?

WELL, IT JUST IS

REMARKABLE.

FRANKLY, THESE

WikiLEAKS' RELEASES OF

E-MAILS ARE STARTING TO

CALL INTO HIGH RELIEF

EXACTLY WHY AFTER IT WAS

DISCOVERED SHE HAD A

PRIVATE SERVER, THAT WHILE

SHE WAS SECRETARY OF

STATE, SHE OPERATED THE

CLINTON FOUNDATION, THAT

ACCEPTED TENS OF MILLIONS

OF DOLLARS FROM FOREIGN

GOVERNMENTS AND FOREIGN

DONORS.

BUT AFTER IT WAS

DISCOVERED SHE HAD A

PRIVATE SERVER, WHEN

CONGRESS MADE A REQUEST

FOR THE E-MAILS, SHE USED

HIGH-TECH NOLOGHIGH TECHNOLOGY AND EVEN

HAMMERS TO DESTROY SOME OF

THOSE E-MAILS.

ON ABC NEWS THIS WEEK IT

WAS UNCOVERED THAT WHILE

SHE WAS SECRETARY OF

STATE, THERE IS AN E-MAIL

NOW, HARD EVIDENCE, THAT

SHOWS HER STATE DEPARTMENT

WAS DIRECTING CONTRACTS

FOR THE HAITIAN RELIEF

EFFORT, FOLLOWING THE 2010

EARTHQUAKE, TO FRIENDS OF

THE CLINTONS.

THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND

OF PAY-TO-PLAY POLITICS

HILLARY CLINTON SAID NEVER

HAPPENED.

IF YOU REMEMBER IN THE

FIRST DEBATE, SHE SAID NO

DECISION OF THE STATE

DEPARTMENT WAS EVER IM

IMPACTED BY DONATIONS TO

THE CLINTON FOUNDATION.

NOW WE'RE HOLDING AN

E-MAIL WHERE A SENIOR AIDE

TO SECRETARY CLINTON WAS

DIRECTLY CONTRACTS FOR THE

REBUILDING OF HAITI IN THE

PERIOD AFTER THE

EARTHQUAKE TO FRIENDS OF

THE CLINTONS.

THIS IS THE KIND OF

PAY-TO-PLAY POLITICS AND

CRONYISM THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE ARE SICK AND TIRED

OF.

PAT, IT IS THE KIND OF OF

PAY-TO-PLAY POLITICS THAT

IS GOING TO END THE DAY

THAT DONALD TRUMP BECOMES

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

STATES.

Pat: YOU'RE A GREAT

GOVERNOR OF INDIANA AND A

CREDIT TO OUR NATION.

WE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

BEING WITH US.

THANK YOU, PAT.

GOOD TO BE WITH YOU.

Pat: WECIALTIO Pat: WELL, EFREM

GRAHAM HAS MORE TOP

STORIES.

Efrem: ON

THE

CAMPAIGN TRAIL, DONALD

TRUMP IS HITTING BACK HARD

AGAINST ALLEGED REPORTS HE

SEXUALLY ASSAULTED WOMEN.

ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE,

MORE QUESTIONS FOR HILLARY

CLINTON OVER HER E-MAIL

CONTROVERSY.

CHARLENE AARON HAS THIS

STORY.

Charlene: DONALD

TRUMP SAYS HE DOESN'T

KNOW, AND HAS NEVER MET,

SOME OF THE WOMEN ACCUSING

HIM OF SEXUAL ASSAULT,

CALLING THE CLAIMS OF

INAPPROPRIATE CONDUCT

ABSOLUTELY FALSE.

AND ATTACKING HIS

ACCUSERS.

THESE PEOPLE ARE

HORRIBLE PEOPLE.

THEY'RE HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE

LIARS.

Charlene: SEVERAL

WOMEN HAVE COME FORWARD IN

A SERIES OF REPORTS,

CLAIMING THAT TRUMP GROPED

OR KISSED THEM WITHOUT

THEIR CONSENT, AND MADE

UNWANTED ADVANCES.

DID HE ACTUALLY KISS

YOU.

YEAH.

YEAH.

ON THE FACE?

ON THE LIPS?

WHEREVER HE COULD FIND

A LANDING SPOT, YES.

Charlene: TRUMP SAYS

THE CLAIMS ARE ALL PART OF

A COORDINATED VICIOUS

ATTACK, FROM THE MEDIA AND

RIVAL HILLARY CLINTON'S

CAMPAIGN.

THE MOST POWERFUL

WEAPON DEPLOYED BY THE

CLINTONS IS THE CORPORATE

MEDIA, THE PRESS.

LET'S BE CLEAR ON ONE

THING: THE CORPORATE MEDIA

IN OUR COUNTRY IS NO

LONGER INVOLVED IN

JOURNALISM.

THEY'RE A POLITICAL,

SPECIAL INTEREST, NO

DIFFERENT THAN ANY

LOBBYIST OR OTHER

FINANCIAL ENTITY WITH A

TOTAL POLITICAL AGENDA,

AND THE AGENDA IS NOT FOR

YOU.

IT IS FOR THEMSELVES.

Charlene: AT A RALLY

ON THURSDAY, TRUMP SAYS HE

HAS EVIDENCE TO DISAPPROVE

ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL

ASSAULT AND WILL RELEASE

IT AT THE APPROPRIATE

TIME.

THOUGH SHE IS LEADING IN

THE POLLS, CLINTON SAT DUN

WITH TALK SHOW HOST ELLEN

DEGENERES TO SAY THAT THE

RACE HASN'T ENDED YET.

I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO

THINK THIS ELECTION IS

OVER.

WE'VE GOT TO WORK REALLY

HARD FOR THE NEXT THREE

AND A HALF WEEKS BECAUSE

WHO KNOWS?

Charlene: HER

APPEARANCE CAME AS THE

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FACES

CONTINUED FALLOUT FROM HER

E-MAIL CONTROVERSY.

SHE SAID UNDER OATH IN A

COURT FILING ON THURSDAY,

THAT SHE CAN'T RECALL

DETAILS ABOUT HER USE OF A

PRIVATE E-MAIL SERVER,

POSED BY THE WATCHDOG

LEGAL GROUP "JUDICIAL

WATCH."

A LAWYER FOR CLINTON

PROVIDED HER SWORN ANSWERS

IN WRITING TO QUESTIONS

SUBMITTED BY "JUDICIAL

WATCH."

THE GROUP HAS FILED,

SEEKING DOZENS OF

GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS.

THE CLINTON PAIN IS ALSO

STILL DEALING WITH FALLOUT

FROM THE ONGOING

WikiLEAKS' RELEASES OF

HER HACKED E-MAILS.

AND WikiLEAKS' PLANS TO

RELEASE TENS OF THOUSANDS

OF THOSE E-MAILS BEFORE

ELECTION DAY.

Efrem: TWO MORE

PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN NORTH

CAROLINA IN THE WAKE OF

HURRICANE MATTHEW, RAISING

THE DEATH TOLL IN THE

STATE TO 22.

NORTH CAROLINA IS STILL

SEEING FLOODING SEVERAL

DAYS AFTER MATTHEW DUMPED

MORE THAN A FOOT OF RAIN.

"OPERATION BLESSING" IS

HELPING PEOPLE IN NORTH

CARL CAL.

THENORTH

CAROLINA.

THEY HAVE BEEN PROVIDING

HOT MEALS, DISTRIBUTORING

WATER, AND CLEANING OUT

HOMES.

MY MAIN CONCERN WAS

THAT MY FAMILY WAS SAFE.

I MEAN, YOU CAN GET

ANOTHER HOUSE, BUT YOU

CAN'T GET ANOTHER LIFE.

I THANK GOD FOR "OPERATION

BLESSING" BECAUSE, YOU

KNOW, IT SHOWS US THAT YOU

GUYS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT

US.

AND AT THE SAME TIME, IT

IS AN EXAMPLE OF US

HELPING ONE ANOTHER.

ME, PERSONALLY, I THANK

GOD FOR YOU GUYS.

Efrem: "OPERATION

BLESSING" IS STILL

ACCEPTING VOLUNTEERS.

YOU CAN VISIT THE WEBSITE

AT ob.org TO SEE HOW YOU

CAN HELP THEM OUT.

> THE SON OF EVANGELIST

BILLY GRAHAM IS ON A

MISSION TO WAKE UP THE

CHURCH AND GET THEM TO

VOTE.

"THE DECISION AMERICA

TOUR" HAS HELD RALLIES IN

ALL 50 STATES.

MARMARK MARTIN CAUGHT UP WITH

HIM.

THE ONLY HOPE FOR THIS

COUNTRY IS GOD.

Reporter: FRANKLIN

GRAHAM HELD A BIBLE

READING AND PRAYER.

AS GOD BRINGS TO YOUR

MIND THE SINS THAT THIS

NATION HAS COMMITTED,

LET'S CONFESS THESE SINS

OUT LOUD TO GOD, RIGHT

HIGHER ON THE STEPS OF

YOUR CAPITAL.

Reporter: AND IT WAS

ALSO A TIME TO RALLY

VOTERS.

I WANT THE CHURCH TO

WAKE UP.

THE CHURCH HAS TO VOTE.

[APPLAUSE]

AMERICA NEEDS THE HEAR

THE VOICE OF GOD'S PEOPLE.

Reporter: GRAHAM SAYS

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT

ELECTION IN HIS LIFE, AND

HE TOLD THE CROWD THE

ELECTION IS ALL ABOUT THE

SUPREME COURT.

> IN THE NEXT FOUR

YEARS, THERE COULD BE

POSSIBLY UP TO FIVE

JUSTICES THAT COULD BE

APPOINTED.

THAT'S HUGE.

AND IT WILL CHANGE THE

DIRECTION OF OUR COUNTRY.

THE WRONG JUSTICES -- IF

THE WRONG JUSTICES ARE

APPOINTED, IT IS FINISHED

FOR THIS NATION.

Reporter: CBN NEWS

CAUGHT UP WITH GRAHAM ON A

DECISION AMERICA TOUR BUS.

HE SAYS HE DOESN'T WANT TO

TELL PEOPLE HOW TO VOTE,

BUT HE WANTS THEM TO HEAD

TO THE POLLS.

IF 20 MILLION SIT AT

HOME, OUR COUNTRY IS

FINISHED.

BUT IF THE CHURCH WILL

WAKE UP, AND IF THE CHURCH

WILL VOTE -- AGAIN, YOU'RE

NOT VOTING FOR A PERSON'S

PERSONALITY, YOU'RE VOTING

FOR A PERSON WHO WILL

APPOINT THE RIGHT

JUSTICES.

I KNOW THE TWO

CANDIDATES AREN'T THE BEST

CHOICES ON EITHER SIDE,

BUT, REGARDLESS, YOU HAVE

AN OBLIGATION AS AN

AMERICAN TO VOTE.

AND BE PRAYERFUL ABOUT IT.

DON'T THINK ABOUT THE

PERSONALITIES.

THINK ABOUT WHAT IS AT

STAKE.

THE SUPREME COURT IS AT

STAKE.

OUR WAY OF LIFE, IN A

MATTER OF SPEAKING, IS AT

STAKE.

PRAYER FULLY DECIDE AND

VOTE.

Reporter: MARK

MARTIN, CBN NEWS,

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.

Efrem: SHOW THOSE ARE

TODAY'S TOP STORIES FROM

CBN NEWS.

Gordon: ON

NOVEMBER 16, 1999, SANDRA

ADAMS WAS LOOKING FORWARD

TO THE BIRTH OF HER

GRANDCHILD.

HER DAUGHTER, SHERIKA, WAS

EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT AND

ALSO EXPECTING A MARRIAGE

PROPOSAL FROM HER

BOYFRIEND.

THAT PROPOSAL NEVER CAME.

INSTEAD, SHARIKA WAS SHOT.

THE SUMMER, I BELIEVE

OF 1997, MY DAUGHTER

CALLED ME TO SAY SHE MET

THIS FANTASTIC GUY, RAE

CARRUTH, WHO WAS PLAYING

FOR THE CAROLINA PANTHERS

AT THE TIME.

SHE WAS INSTANTLY

INFATUATED WITH HIM.

HE HAD A GREAT SMILE, AND

WAS JUST OUTGOING AND

FUN-LOVING.

I HAD NO REASON NOT TO

LIKE HIM.

BUT HE WAS NOT THE PERSON

THAT SHE THOUGHT HE WAS.

SHE WAS MORE OF A LADIES'

MAN.

BY THE TIME SHE FOUND OUT

SHE WAS PREGNANT, THEIR

RELATIONSHIP WAS VERY

TUMULTUOUS.

SHE WAS AM ALMOST LIKE A DR.

JEA DR.JECKELL MR. HYDE TYPE OF

GUY.

HE WAS EXCITED AT FIRST,

BUT THEN HE TOLD HER HE

DIDN'T WANT TO START

HAVING A LOT OF CHILDREN

ILLEGITIMATELY.

HE ALREADY HAD ONE SON AND

HE WASN'T THERE FOR HIM.

SHASHARIKA ALWAYS WANTED TO

BE A MOM.

SHE WAS NOT GOING TO HAVE

AN ABORTION.

NOVEMBER 16, THIS WAS

GOING TO BE THEIR FIRST

OFFICIAL DATE AS A COUPLE

AGAIN.

SHE REALLY THOUGHT THAT

THE RELATIONSHIP WAS

TAKING A STEP FORWARD.

SHE EVEN HAD, IN THE BACK

OF HER MIND, I THINK, MOM,

HE MIGHT EVEN ASK ME TO

MARRY HIM TONIGHT.

9-1-1.

I'VE BEEN SHOT.

WHERE ARE YOU AT?

I'M EIGHT MONTHS

PREGNANT.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

I WAS FOLLOWING MY

BABY'S DADDY, RAE CARRUTH.

HE WAS IN THE CAR IN FRONT

OF ME AND HE SLOWED DOWN.

I THINK HE DID IT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO

THINK.

OKAY.

I DON'T REMEMBER

GETTING DRESSED.

I DON'T REMEMBER DRIVING.

I JUST REMEMBER SHOWING UP

AND BEING AT THE HOSPITAL.

WHEN I GOT THERE, AND RAY

WASN'T THERE, MY INITIAL

REACTION WAS, HE DOESN'T

KNOW.

I'M CALLING HIM AND PAGING

HIM, TELLING HIM SHARIKA

HAS BEEN SHOT.

SHE IS IN SURGERY.

THEY'RE TAKING THE BABY BY

CESAREAN SECTION.

YOU NEED TO GET HERE AS

QUICKLY AS YOU CAN.

I JUST REMEMBER WAITING

HOURS.

AND WHEN HE DID SHOW UP,

HE SHOWED UP WITH ANOTHER

COUPLE AND ANOTHER WOMAN.

AND MY HEART JUST SANK.

NOT ONCE DID HE ASK ME HOW

SHE WAS DOING.

NOT ONCE DID HE ASK ME,

DID MY SON MAKE IT?

OR HOW IS MY SON?

I REMEMBER THAT LONG WALK

TO THE NEONATAL UNIT, AND

WHEN I SAW CHANCELLOR, HE

WAS JUST THE MOST PRECIOUS

SIGHT.

HE HAD ALL OF THE LITTLE

TUBES ALL OVER HIM AND

EVERYTHING, BUT HE WAS

JUST BEAUTIFUL.

THE DOCTORS GAVE US SUCH A

GRIM PROGNOSIS, WITH THE

CEREBRAL PALSY, THAT EVERY

PART OF HIS BRAIN HAD BEEN

AFFECTED.

ALL ALONG I KNEW -- I HELD

ON TO MY FAITH THAT GOD IS

IN CONTROL OF THIS.

WHO SHOT 24-YEAR-OLD

SHARIKA ADAMS WHILE SHE

WAS DRIVING IN SOUTHEAST

CHARLESTON AROUND 12:30

TUESDAY MORNING.

POLICE SAY SHE WAS

TRAVELLING TOWARDS TOWN

WHEN FOUR SHOTS WERE SHOT

INTO HER DRIVER'S SIDE

WINDOW.

IT IS INCONCEIVABLE HOW

ANYONE COULD HAVE

COMMITTED THESE COWARDLY

DEEDS.

RAE CARRUTH SO FAR HAS

DECLINED TO BE INTERVIEWED

BY POLICE.

IT IS OUR HOPE AND

BELIEF THAT ALL OF THE

PERSONS RESPONSIBLE FOR

BRINGING OUR CHILD AND

GRANDCHILD TO THE BRINK OF

DEATH WOULD BE BROUGHT TO

JUSTICE WITH SWIFTNESS AND

CERTAINTY.

THE DOCTOR HAD TO

INDUCE A COMA.

FOR 28 DAYS SHE FOUGHT.

WE HAD TO MAKE A DECISION.

IT WAS A DIFFICULT

DECISION, BUT IT WAS ONE

THAT I MADE WITH PEACE.

KNOWING THAT I STILL HAD

SHARIKA WITH ME THROUGH

CHANCELLOR.

HER LEGACY IS LIVING ON.

HER LIVING WON'T BE IN

VAIN, AND NEITHER WILL HER

DEATH.

HOMICIDE INVESTIGATORS

RECEIVED INFORMATION ON

DECEMBER 15, 1999, THAT

MR. RAE CARRUTH WAS

STAYING IN A MOTEL.

THEY FOUND HIM HIDING

IN THE TRUNK OF A TOYOTA

IN THE MOTEL PARKING LOT.

THE TRIAL, IT WAS NOT

ABOUT SHARIKA.

IT WAS ABOUT RAY AND HIS

LASCIVIOUS LIFESTYLE.

WE'RE NOT EVEN GETTING THE

GIST OF WHY WE'RE HERE.

SOMEONE HAS LOST THEIR

LIFE.

SHE WAS LOOKING SO FORWARD

TO TURNING 25.

THE PLANS AND ASPIRATIONS

THAT SHE HAD IN LIFE, AND

THE PLANS THAT SHE HAD FOR

HER CHILD, WERE JUST ALL

SNUFFED OUT, JUST WITH

THIS HEINOUS CRIME.

THE REALLY WONDERFUL THING

IS THAT SHARIKA KEPT A

JOURNAL, A PREGNANCY

JOURNAL, AND SHE WROTE

DOWN SUCH DETAILED NOTES.

THERE WERE SEVERAL TIMES

IN HER JOURNAL SHE

MENTIONED HOW RAY PARKED

IN A REALLY REMOTE AREA.

SHE BELIEVED SOMEONE THAT

BEEN IN HER APARTMENT.

IT COINCIDED WITH WATKINS'

TESTIMONY ABOUT HOW HE HAD

TAKEN MONEY FROM RAY TO

SHOOT HER.

I SAY THAT SHARIKA'S VOICE

WAS EVEN SPEAKING FROM THE

GRAVE.

AS THE DEFENDANT RAE

CARRUTH IS GUILTY OF

FIRING A ARM, GUILTY OF

INTENT TO DESTROY AN

UNBORN CHILD, GUILTY OF

CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT

MURDER, AND NOT GUILTY OF

FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.

I TRULY BELIEVE THAT

FORGIVENESS IS A CHOICE.

IT'S NOT A FEELING.

SOMETIMES I HAD TO MAKE

THAT CHOICE THOUSANDS OF

TIMES A DAY.

I PRAY THAT HE COMES TO AN

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND A

REPENTANCE BECAUSE GOD CAN

USE HIS LIFE TO TOUCH SO

MANY MORE PEOPLE.

BUT IF HE NEVER DOES THAT,

AND IF HE NEVER ASKS ME TO

FORGIVE HIM, IT'S NOT

ABOUT HIM.

IT'S ABOUT CHANCELLOR.

I THINK HE HAS BEEN

SMILING SINCE HE WAS BORN.

HE EVEN HAD A SMILE THEN.

HE IS SO AMAZING.

ANYBODY AROUND ME, IF THEY

HAD DOUBTS OF IF THERE WAS

A GOD AND HOW GOOD GOD IS,

THEY COULD SEE IT THROUGH

CHANCELLOR.

MAY, MOMMY'S ANGEL.

HEY YOU.

HE IS MY MIRACLE BOY.

GOD WAS RIGHT IN THE

MIDDLE OF ALL OF IT,

BECAUSE HE WAS ABLE TO LET

SHARIKA DRIVE THAT CAR,

AFTER SHE HAD BEEN SHOT,

WITH FOUR BULLETS IN HER.

SHE WAS BLOWING THE HORN

TO GET ATTENTION.

SHE WAS ABLE TO CALL FOR

HELP.

SHE WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE

HOSPITAL TO DELIVER THIS

BABY.

SHE WAS ABLE TO LIVE FOR

28 DAYS.

THAT WAS NOTHING BUT GOD

AND HIS ANGELS WORKING

OVERTIME.

HE SAYS HE WILL NEVER

LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US,

AND HE HAS NOT DONE THAT.

I'M SO GRATEFUL.

THEY DIDN'T BURY SHARIKA.

THEY PLANTED HER.

SO SHE IS STILL GROWING

AND GROWING AND GROWING.

Gordon: IT IS AMAZING

THAT SHE CAN SMILE, AND

YOU CAN SEE JOY IN HER

EYES, LIGHT IN HER EYES.

FOR ME, WHEN I SEE THIS

STORY, I WONDER, COULD I

DO THAT?

COULD I ACTUALLY FORGIVE?

OR WOULD I BE LOOKING FOR

REVENGE?

WOULD I BE LOOKING TO HOW

CAN I HURT THE ONE WHO

HURT MY DAUGHTER, WHO

KILLED MY DAUGHTER?

AND IN THE PROCESS OF

KILLING MY DAUGHTER,

DEPRIVED HER UNBORN BABY

OF OXYGEN.

AND IN THAT, LEFT HIM WITH

A PERMANENT HANDICAP.

WHERE DO YOU GO WITH THAT

KIND OF THING?

HOW DO YOU DO WHAT SHE

DID?

WELL, THERE ARE SOME

BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES HERE.

LET'S SORT OF LAY THE

FOUNDATION.

THE FIRST ONE -- THESE ARE

THE WORDS OF JESUS.

IT COMES FROM MATTHEW 6.

AND IT'S RIGHT AFTER HE

HAS GIVEN US THE LORD'S

PRAYER.

HE IS TEACHING US HOW TO

PRAY, BUT HE IS ALSO

TEACHING US HOW TO LIVE.

HERE IT IS MATTHEW 6: "IF

YOU FORGIVE THOSE WHO SIN

AGAINST YOU, YOUR HEAVENLY

FATHER WILL FORGIVE YOU.

BUT IF YOU REFUSE TO

FORGIVE OTHERS, YOUR

FATHER WILL NOT FORGIVE

YOUR SINS."

AND THEN IN THE SAME

GOSPEL, IN THE 18th

CHAPTER, HE TELL THIS

PARABLE, AND HE SAYS, "THE

KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE

THIS."

SOMEBODY HAS A HUGE DEBT

TO THE KING.

HE GOES TO THE KING AND

ASKS FOR FORGIVENESS OF

THE DEBT, AND THE KING

FORGIVES HIM.

AND THEN ANOTHER MEMBER OF

THAT KINGDOM, WHO OWES

THAT SAME SERVANT A DEBT,

COMES TO HIM AND SAYS THE

EXACT SAME WORDS, WOULD

YOU FORGIVE ME, AND

THEY'RE NOT FORGIVEN.

THEY'RE HELD TO ACCOUNT

FOR THE DEBT THAT THEY

OWE.

AND JESUS, IN THIS

PARABLE, SAYS SOMETHING

THAT I FIND INCREDIBLE.

HE IS SAYING THIS IS THE

KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, SO WHEN

HE IS TALKING ABOUT THE

KING, HE IS TALKING ABOUT

PRINCIPLES WITHIN THE

KINGDOM.

YOU FIND IT IN MATTHEW 18,

34-35: "THEN THE ANGRY

KING SENT THE MAN TO

PRISON TO BE TORTURED

UNTIL HE HAD PAID HIS

ENTIRE DEBT.

THAT'S WHAT MY HEAVENLY

FATHER WILL DO TO YOU IF

YOU REFUSE TO FORGIVE YOUR

BROTHERS AND SISTERS FROM

YOUR HEART."

WHEN YOU HOLD ON TO

UNFORGIVENESS, YOU'RE

ACTUALLY TORTURING

YOURSELF.

EVERY TIME YOU REMEMBER

IT, EVERY TIME IT CROSSES

YOUR MIND, ONCE AGAIN,

YOU'RE ANGRY.

YOU'RE BITTER.

YOU LOSE OUT ON LIFE.

YOU TORTURE YOURSELF.

AND IT NEVER GETS BETTER.

IT ACTUALLY GROWS WORSE.

THE OFFENSE GETS BIGGER

OVER TIME.

AND IN THAT PROCESS, THE

BITTERNESS SEEPS IN DEEP

WITHIN YOUR BEING.

AND YOU CAN NO LONGER

ENJOY THE THINGS YOU USED

TO ENJOY.

SO JESUS, WHEN HE IS

TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS

TO US, HE IS SAYING, WE

LITERALLY ARE DELIVERED

OVER TO TORTURE.

UNTIL THAT POINT IN TIME

WE REALIZE THE ONLY PERSON

WE'RE HURTING HERE IS ME.

THE PERSON THAT HARMED

YOU, THE PERSON THAT

SINNED AGAINST YOU,

THEY'RE LONG GONE.

THEY'RE NOT AROUND TO FEEL

YOUR ANGER.

THEY'RE NOT AROUND TO --

YOU KNOW, FOR YOU TO GET

YOUR REVENGE.

THEY'RE LONG GONE.

AND ALL YOU'RE DOING IS

HARMING YOURSELF.

THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU SEE

SANDRA AND YOU SEE THE

LIGHT IN HER EYES, AND YOU

GO, HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

WELL, SHE TELLS US.

FORGIVENESS IS NOT A

FEELING.

FORGIVENESS IS A CHOICE.

FOR HER, SHE HAD TO DO IT

1,000 TIMES A DAY.

SHE SAID, THIS IS WHAT I

HAD TO DO, I HAD TO DO IT

A THOUSAND TIMES A DAY,

EVERY DAY, UNTIL I GOT THE

BREAKTHROUGH.

UNTIL I HAD TRULY

FORGIVEN.

AND THEN SHE SAYS

SOMETHING INCREDIBLE.

I HOPE HE COMES TO THE

SAVING KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS.

I HOPE HE TURNS.

I HOPE THAT HE CAN BE IN

HEAVEN.

THAT'S AMAZING.

AND THAT'S THE FORGIVENESS

THAT JESUS IS TALKING

ABOUT.

AND WHEN YOU HAVE IT, YOU

HAVE THAT SAME JOY.

YOU HAVE THAT SAME

GRATITUDE.

YOU HAVE THE SAME LIFE

THAT SANDRA HAS.

YOU CAN HAVE THAT IF YOU

JUST FORGIVE FROM YOUR

HEART.

AND IT'S NOT A FEELING.

AT FIRST IT IS JUST AN ACT

OF WILL, TO SAY I'M GOING

TO CHOOSE TO FOLLOW WHAT

JESUS TOLD ME TO DO.

I'M GOING TO FORGIVE.

HOW MANY TIMES WILL I

FORGIVE?

HE SAYS SEVEN TIMES 70.

IF I HAVE TO DO THAT EVERY

SINGLE DAY, THEN I'LL DO

IT EVERY SINGLE DAY.

UNTIL I GET THE

BREAKTHROUGH AND I'M FREE

FROM THIS.

WHEN I THINK ABOUT THIS,

IT NO LONGER HURTS ME; IT

NO LONGER TORTURES ME.

I CAN LIVE MY LIFE IN

GRATITUDE FOR WHAT GOD HAS

DONE FOR ME.

I CAN LIVE IN THE KINGDOM

OF HEAVEN.

IF YOU WANT HELP WITH

THIS, WE'VE GOT A FREE

BOOKLET FOR YOU.

ALL YOU'VE GOT TO DO IS

CALL US.

WE'LL SEND IT TO YOU AS A

P.D.F. FILE.

OR WE CAN SEND YOU A HARD

COPY, AND IT'S CALLED

"FORGIVENESS."

IN THERE, WE ENCOURAGE YOU

TO WRITE DOWN THE OFFENSES

THAT YOU'RE HOLDING ON TO.

AS THEY COME TO YOUR MIND,

WRITE THEM DOWN.

AND THEN IN AN ACT OF

TERRY, OVER TO YOU.

Terry: STILL AHEAD, A

POWER WORKER FALLS FROM A

ROOFTOP AND LANDS IN

HEAVEN.

I WAS TAKEN INTO THE

THRONE ROOM OF GOD.

IT WAS MORE REAL THAN YOU

ARE.

IT WAS SO REAL.

AND EVERYTHING WAS JUST SO

WHITE, WHITER THAN WHITE.

Terry: FIND OUT WHAT

ELSE THIS MAN SAW AND

HEARD BEFORE HE CAME BACK

TO EARTH.

Efrem: AND WELCOME

BACK TO "THE 700 CLUB."

A PARALYZED MAN HAS

RECEIVED A BRAIN IMPLANT

TO GIVE HIM A SENSE OF

TOUCH IN HIS

MIND-CONTROLLED ROBOTIC

ARM.

THE TINY CHIPS IN HIS

BRAIN ALLOW HIM TO USE HIS

THOUGHTS TO MOVE HIS METAL

ARM.

THE RESEARCH IS PART OF A

QUEST TO MAKE ARTIFICIAL

LIMBS THAT CAN FEEL.

UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH

RESEARCHERS ARE DEVELOPING

THE TECHNOLOGY.

FAR MORE GALAXIES THAN

GORDON AND TERRY ARE BACK

WITH MORE OF "THE 700

Terry: NEWLYWEDS HEAR

IT ALL OF THE TIME, THE

FIRST YEAR OF MARRIAGE

WILL BE THE HARDEST.

THAT WAS DEFINITELY TRUE

FOR TOM AND CORRINE

BECAUSE THEY SPENT THEIR

FIRST YEAR OF MARRIAGE

WITH NO JOB AND ALMOST NO

MONEY.

Reporter: WHEN TOM

AND CORRINE MARRIED IN

2007, THEY LOOKED TO

THROUGH FUTURE WITH

ANTICIPATION AND

UNCERTAINTY BECAUSE JUST A

MONTH BEFORE THEIR

WEDDING, TOM WAS LAID OFF

FROM HIS JOB IN MAGAZINE

SALES.

IT WAS ABOUT A YEAR AND

A HALF WHERE THERE WAS

ZERO INCOME COMING IN, AND

THAT WAS A STRUGGLE.

IT DRAINED A LOT OF MONEY.

Reporter: WHAT MADE

IT MORE FRUSTRATING WAS

THAT CORRINE, A CANADIAN,

COULDN'T EVEN TAKE A JOB

BECAUSE HER U.S.

CITIZENSHIP HASN'T BEEN

FINALIZED.

BUT THE COUPLE FOUND

ENCOURAGEMENT WATCHING

"THE 700 CLUB."

WE NEEDED TO HEAR

POSITIVE THINGS, AND WE

NEEDED TO KNOW THAT GOD IS

AT WORK, EVEN WHEN IT

LOOKS LIKE THINGS ARE VERY

DOWN.

Reporter: DESPITE

LIVING OFF THEIR SAVINGS,

THEY DECIDED TO BECOME CBN

PARTNERS.

I BELIEVE IN CBN.

I TRUST THEM TAKING THE

MONEY OUT, AND THEN I

TRUST THEM TO PUT IT TO

GOOD USE, TO DO THE LORD'S

WORKMENWORK.

THEY DO ALL OF IT.

Reporter: TOM GREW

FRUSTRATED AS THEIR

SAVINGS DWINDLED.

I WAS LIVING IN FEAR.

I WAS LIVING IN ANXIETY.

WE WATCHED EVERY NICKEL

AND DIME WE SPENT.

WE CUT DOWN EVERYTHING

THAT WAS NOT NECESSARY.

Reporter: FINALLY HE

TOLD CORRINE THEY NEEDED

TO STOP GIVING.

THAT'S IT.

WE'VE GOT TO TIGHTEN

EVERYTHING UP.

CUT ALL LOOSE CORNERS, CUT

EVERYTHING, DOWN TO BARE

BONES, INCLUDING CBN,

INCLUDING EVERYTHING.

RIGHT AWAY I WENT INTO

PRAYER BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT

I KNOW TO DO, TO PRAY AND

SAY, GOD, WORK IN TOM'S

HEART.

LET HIM KNOW THAT YOU ARE

A PROVIDER, AND WHEN WE

GIVE YOU CAN INTERVENE AND

BE A PART IN THIS.

Reporter: THAT SAY

DAY, TOM SAYS HE HAD A

CHANGE OF HEART.

FIRST HE SURRENDERED HIS

FINANCIAL SITUATION TO

GOD.

AND INSTEAD OF CUTTING OUT

THEIR GIVING, HE DECIDED

THEY NEED TO GIVE MORE,

AND WENT ON LINE TO

INCREASE HIS PLEDGE TO

CBN.

IT WAS A MAJOR

COMMITMENT WHEN I HIT THAT

BUTTON BECAUSE I KNOW

EVERY MONTH $100 IS BEING

DONE.

BUT THERE IS A WONDERFUL

SHIFT THAT GOES ON,

BECAUSE I WENT FROM BEING

DESPERATE AND WANTING TO

TAKE MONEY, AND NOW I

BECAME EMPOWERED.

EVEN THOUGH I WAS STILL IN

THE SAME SITUATION, I WAS

EMPOWERED TO GIVE.

I WAS NOW A GIVER.

AND I WAS, LIKE, YES,

GOD.

WHEN HE SAID, LET'S GIVE,

LET'S GIVE MORE TO "THE

700 CLUB," I'M, LIKE, YES.

Reporter: TOM SAYS

GOD THEN OPENED THE DOOR

FOR A NEW CAREER AS A

BUSINESS ANALYST.

IT STARTED WHEN HE

DISCOVERED A FREE COLLEGE

COURSE ONLINE.

HE TOOK THE COURSE AND

LANDED A GREAT-PAYING JOB

THAT TURNED OUT TO BE A

PERFECT FIT.

AS I STARTED GETTING

INTO THE JOB, ALL OF MY

SKILLS, ALL MY JOB

EXPERIENCE, THEY ALL

DOVE-TAILED INTO THIS JOB.

I NEVER THOUGHT IN MY LIFE

THIS WOULD EVER HAPPEN.

Reporter: IN JUST A

FEW MONTHS, TOM RECEIVED

THREE PROMOTIONS WITH PAY

RAISES.

TOM AND CORRINE SAY THEIR

DECISION TO TRUST GOD

THROUGH GIVING OPENED THE

DOOR TO THE BLESSINGS THEY

HAVE TODAY.

THERE IS ONLY ONE

REASON, AND THAT'S BECAUSE

I SURRENDERED IT TO GOD.

I'M A STEWARD.

AND I LOOK BACK ON THAT

TURNING POINT, WHEN I PUT

MY HAND TO GIVE THAT $100,

IT WAS AN ACT OF FAITH.

JUST BY THAT SIMPLE ACT OF

FAITH, GOD HAS JUST

FAVORED US SO MUCH.

Terry: GOD HAS GOT

SUCH A GOOD PLAN, SUCH A

GREAT PLAN, AND IT IS FOR

OUR GOOD, FOR OUR

BLESSING, FOR OUR BENEFIT.

IT IS TO KEEP US CLOSE TO

HIM, AND TO MAKE SURE HE

IS THE TOP PRIORITY IN OUR

LIFE.

EVEN WITH THAT PLAN, HE

ASKS US FOR 10%.

WE KEEP 90%.

AND PART OF THE JOURNEY,

PART OF THE ADVENTURE HE

INVITES US TO BE ON WITH

HIM IS TO REACH OUT AND

TOUCH OTHER PEOPLE, TO

MAKE A DIFFERENCE, TO BE

HIM WITH HANDS IN THE

WORLD TODAY, TOUGHING

LIVES, CARRYING FOR

PEOPLE, SEEING THE NEEDS

OF OTHERS AND SAYING, I

WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT

THAT.

LOTS OF PEOPLE YOU

UNDERSTAND THAT AND GET IT

HAVE COME TOGETHER AND

FORMED "THE 700 CLUB."

THAT'S WHAT WE DO.

WE TOUCH LIVES AROUND THE

WORLD.

WE'RE A PART OF GOD'S

PLAN, AND YOU'RE INVITED

TO BE A PART OF THAT, TOO.

IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN ON

THE BANDWAGON OF GIVING

YET, YOU ARE MISSING THE

GREATEST ADVENTURE OF YOUR

LIFE.

WE WANT TO INVITE YOU TO

BE A PART OF THAT TODAY.

YOU CAN JOIN "THE 700

CLUB" FOR 65 CENTS A DAY,

$20 A MONTH.

YOU'LL BE JOINING

THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WHO

OF PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED,

PEOPLE WHO ARE WITHOUT

HOPE.

WE WANT TO BE THERE FOR

THEM WITH THE LOVE OF

CHRIST.

YOU CAN JOIN BY CALLING

THAT TOLL-FREE NUMBER:

1-800-700-7000.

OR YOU CAN LOG ON TO

THAT'S ELECTRONIC MONTHLY

GIVING.

IT MEANS YOUR BANK DOES

ALL OF THE WORK.

I THINK IT IS GREAT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE

STAMPS OR ENVELOPES ON

HAND.

IT IS ALL DONE FOR YOU.

BUT IT DOES SAVE US SOME

PROCESSING COSTS.

SO OUR WAY OF SAYING THANK

YOU FOR USING PLEDGE

"POWER FOR LIFE"

TEACHINGS.

IT IS TEACHINGS WE GET

ENCOURAGEMENT.

LOG IN OR CALL AND SAY, I

Gordon: UP NEXT, A

MAN'S LIFE HANGS IN THE

BALANCE AND HIS WIFE FEARS

THE WORTH.

HE WAS HOOKED UP TO ALL

KINDS OF MACHINES, AND I

FELT A LOT OF FEAR.

AND I FELT CONCERN, HOW AM

I GOING TO RAISE THREE

DAUGHTERS BY MYSELF?

Gordon: SEE HOW THEY

DEFY THE DOCTORS, AND HE

MAKES AN AMAZING COMEBACK.

Terry: DONNA WAS TOLD

TO PREPARE FOR HER

HUSBAND'S FUNERAL.

RIC WARICK WAS IN A COMA AFTER A

BRUTAL FALL.

THAT WAS MORE THAN 18

YEARS AGO.

TODAY RICK IS STILL

TELLING THE TRUE STORY OF

HIS MIRACULOUS RECOVERY

AND THE TRIP HE TOOK TO

HEAVEN.

Reporter: IN

SEPTEMBER 1996, HURRICANES

TRAN SLAMMED INTO THE

CAROLINAS.

IN THE STORM'S AFTERMATH,

GEORGIA POWER WORK RICK

MONGRIF WAS ASSIGNED TO

REPAIR DOWNED POWER LINES.

HE WAS ON A LINE WHEN THE

LINE SNAPPED.

HE FELL AND LANDED HEAD

FIRST ON A CONCRETE

DRIVEWAY.

HE WIFE, DONNA, WAS TOLD

TO PREPARE FOR HER

HUSBAND'S FUNERAL.

I FELT A LOT OF FEAR.

AND I FELT CONCERN.

I HAD EVERY SCENARIO GOING

THROUGH MY BRAIN.

HOW AM I GOING TO RAISE

THREE DAUGHTERS BY MYSELF?

I'M TOO YOUNG TO BE A

WIDOW.

Reporter: RICK HAD

SEVERAL BROKEN RIBS AND

HIS BRAIN WAS

HEMORRHAGING.

10 MINUTES AFTER HE

ARRIVED AT THE HOSPITAL,

HE SLIPPED INTO A COMA.

HE WAS HOOKED UP TO ALL

KINDS OF MACHINES.

SO I JUST LOOKED AT HIM.

I WAS IN SHOCK, I THINK.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT HE

WAS LAYING THERE.

AND THE DOCTORS WERE JUST

SAYING THAT IT WAS A WAIT

AND SEE GAME.

THEY DIDN'T KNOW.

I BELIEVED IN PRAYER AND I

KNEW THAT JESUS WAS THE

HEALER.

IN MY OWN STRENGTH AT THAT

MOMENT, I DIDN'T HAVE THAT

STRENGTH IN MYSELF TO

PRAY.

AND SO I HAD BELIEVERS AND

FRIENDS WHO WERE PRAYING

FOR ME, AS SWELL AS FOR

RICK.

THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO

COME THROUGH THIS.

Reporter: THE PRAYERS

CONTINUED.

AND BY DAY FIVE, RICK WAS

STILL UNRESPONSIVE -- AT

LEAST IT APPEARED THAT

WAY.

I WAS TAKEN INTO THE

THRONE ROOM OF GOD.

IT WAS MORE REAL THAN YOU

ARE.

IT WAS SO REAL.

AND EVERYTHING WA WAS JUST SO

WHITE, WHITER THAN WHITE.

I WAS ON MY BELLY -- ON MY

FACE BEFORE THE LORD.

AND I SAW HIS FEET.

HIS FEET WAS FINE BURNED

BRASS.

I DIDN'T SEE HIS FACE.

BUT HE ASKED ME, WHAT DO

YOU WANT TO DO?

AND I KEPT HEARING THE

SCRIPTURE OVER AND OVER,

WHO'S REPORT WILL YOU

BELIEVE?

WILL YOU BELIEVE THE

REPORT OF THE LORD OR WILL

YOU BELIEVE THE REPORT OF

THE DOCTORS.

I SAID I WANT TO LIVE, I

WANT TO LIVE AND DECLARE

THE WORD OF THE LORD.

HE STOOD UP AND CLAPPED

HIS HANDS AND HE SAID,

THAT'S ENOUGH.

WHEN HE SAID, THAT'S THAT'S

ENOUGH, I IMMEDIATELY

BEGAN TO COME OUT OF THE

COMA.

HE SAID, YOU'RE THE

LUCKIEST PERSON IN THE

WORLD THAT YOU CAME OUT OF

THE COMA, AND YOU

RECOVERED FROM THIS FALL A

LITTLE BIT.

IT WILL BE MINIMUM FIVE

YEARS BEFORE YOU WILL EVER

BE 40% BACK MANY AN.

AND I TOLD HER, MA'AM, I

DON'T MEAN ANY DISRESPECT

TO YOU, BUT IT IS NOT

GOING TO TAKE THAT LONG.

THE LORD WILL DO A QUICK

WORK.

Reporter: HE AND

DONNA JOINED THEIR FRIENDS

AND FAMILY IN PRAYER.

I WAS BELIEVING FOR THE

HEALING AND MY FRIENDS

WERE BELIEVING FOR THE

HEALING.

WE BELIEVED BY HIS

STRIPES, WE ARE HEALED.

Reporter: AFTER JUST

27 DAYS OF REHAB, RICK HAD

A 95% RECOVERY.

WHEN I CAME BACK TO

WORK AT THE POWER COMPANY

IN THE EARLY PART OF 1997,

I CAME BACK TO WORK FULL

DUTY.

THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD

COMES TO MY MIND.

THAT OUR GOD, AT THE

IMMEDIATE CRY OF OUR

HEARTS, WILL HEAR US.

AND HE LISTENS, AND HE IS

FAITHFUL.

THE GREAT DOCTORS AT

THESE TWO GREAT HOSPITALS

DID ALL THEY COULD DO, BUT

IT WAS THE FATHER'S LOVE.

IT WAS HIS GRACE.

IT WAS HIS COMPASSION ON

ME TO ALLOW HE TO LIVE

TODAY AND LIVE THESE 18

YEARS.

Reporter: RICK LATER

RETIRED FROM THE POWER

COMPANY AND BECAME A

PASTOR.

HE CHERISHES EVERY MOMENT

HE HAS WITH HIS WIFE AND

FAMILY, AND HE SAYS HE

DOESN'T LET A DAY GO BY

FOR GIVING THANKS TO GOD

FOR HIS MIRACULOUS

HEALING.

EVERY DAY IS AN

INCREDIBLE DAY.

THERE IS ALWAYS A LOT TO

BE THANKFUL FOR.

I'M JUST THANKFUL THAT I

FEEL BETTER TODAY THAN I

DID YESTERDAY.

I'M THANKFUL TODAY THAT

I'M ABLE TO STAND UP.

I'M THANKFUL TODAY THAT I

DON'T HAVE A MASSIVE MAKE

THIS MORNING.

I'M THANKFUL TODAY THAT

I'M ABLE TO BREATHE BY

MYSELF WITHOUT A MACHINE.

I'M JUST THANKFUL.

Terry: AN EXPERIENCE

LIKE THAT DOES THAT FOR

YOU.

YOU BEGIN TO REALIZE ALL

OF THE BLESSINGS YOU HAVE.

WELL, GOD IS IN THE

MIRACLE-WORKING BUSINESS,

AND NOT JUST FOR THIS MAN

AND HIS FAMILY, BUT FOR

YOU AS WELL, AND WE KNOW

THERE ARE MANY OF YOU WHO

HAVE PRAYER NEEDS, AND WE

WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU IN A

MOMENT.

FIRST WE WANT TO SHARE

SOME OTHER REPORTS.

Gordon: I'VE GOT ONE

FROM MASSACHUSETTS.

BOB HAD LIFTED 380 POUNDS.

HE STRAINED HIS BACK AND

HIS DISCS DETERIORATED.

ON A SCALE OF ONE TO 10,

HIS PAIN WAS 15.

AND THEN IN JANUARY HE

WATCHED "THE 700 CLUB."

TERRY, YOU SAID, "THERE IS

SOMEONE WITH A DISC IN

YOUR BACK THAT IS OUT OF

ORDER AND IT IS PAINFUL,

SO PAINFUL.

GOD IS HEALING THAT FOR

YOU RIGHT NOW.

THE TERRIBLE SHOOTING PAIN

IS JUST GOING TO BE GONE,

THAT DEEP ACHING, GONE."

AND I SAID, "THERE IS

SOMEONE WHO HAS

DETERIORATING BONE IN THE

VERTEBRA OF YOUR BACK AND

YOU LIVE IN CONSTANT PAIN.

AND GOD IS HEALING YOU.

HE IS RESTORING YOU AND

GIVING YOU NEW BONE.

HE IS ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN

EVERYTHING AND BRING IT

ALL INTO ALIGNMENT NOW IN

JESUS' NAME."

BOB HEARD ALL OF THAT AND

HE HAS HAD NO PAIN SINCE.

AND HE IS PRAISING GOD FOR

A MIRACLE.

Terry: THIS IS RUTH,

WHO LIVES IN CALIFORNIA,

AND SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH

C.O.P.D.

HER LUNGS WERE SO BAD, SHE

ONLY HAD A 15% CAPACITY.

WHEN SHE SPOKE, SHE SAID

IT SOUNDED LIKE THE

CROAKING OF A FROG.

SHE WAS REQUIRED TO BE ON

OXYGEN 24 HOURS A DAY, AND

WASN'T EVEN ABLE TO GO

OUTDOORS.

HER DOCTOR PLACED HER ON A

WAITING LIST FOR A LUNG

TRANSPLANT.

SHE WAS WATCHING THIS

PROGRAM AND HEARD YOU,

GORDON, GIVE THIS WORD,

"YOU HAVE C.O.P.D. IN BOTH

LUNGS AND IT IS VERY

DIFFICULT TO BREATHE.

GOD JUST RELEASED IT.

TAKE THAT DEEP BREATH AND

REALIZE YOU'VE BEEN HEALED

AND MADE WHOLE."

THAT SAME HOUR, BOTH

RUTH'S BREATH AND HER

VOICE RETURNED TO HER.

Gordon: PRAYS GOD.

PRAISE GOD,

THAT IS A MR. CHAIRMAN.

MIRACLE.

DOCTORS WILL TELL YOU FOR

C.O.P.D., THERE IS NO

CURE.

THE DOCTORS SAY WHEN DISCS

GET OUT OF ALIGNMENT, THEY

SAY THERE IS NO CURE.

THEY TALK ABOUT SURGERY,

BUT THEY DON'T GUARANTEE

ANY RESULTS.

I KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN

GUARANTEE RESULTS.

HIS NAME IS GOD ALMIGHTY.

AND WITH HIM NOTHING IS

IMPOSSIBLE.

SO ENCOURAGE YOURSELF BY

THINKING, HOW BIG IS

IMPOSSIBLE?

HOW WIDE IS THAT?

HOW DEEP IS THAT?

BECAUSE IF NOTHING IS

IMPOSSIBLE, THAT MEANS ALL

THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO

THEM THAT BELIEVE.

NOW, HOW DO YOU GET THERE?

HOW DO YOU GET TO THAT

POINT, WHEN YOU CAN

ACTUALLY BELIEVE?

I KNOW IT IS VERY HARD

WHEN YOU'RE IN A HOSPITAL

BED, AND YOU'RE ON A

VENTILATOR AND YOU YOU'VE

GOT MACHINES AND TUBES,

AND YOU'VE GOT ALL OF

THESE THINGS GOING ON, AND

YOU CAN HEAR THAT MACHINE

AND IT IS REAL REGULAR.

YOU HEAR THAT HEART

MONITOR.

IT'S REAL REGULAR.

HOW DO YOU PRAY THROUGH

TREG HOW DO YOU GET TO

THAT POINT WHERE YOU CAN

BELIEVE THE REPORT OF THE

LORD?

WELL, YOU JUST HEARD IT

FROM RICK, HOW HE GOT

THERE.

HE GOT THERE THROUGH

THANKSGIVING.

HE STARTED THINKING GOD

FOR BREATH.

HE STARTED THINKING GOD

FOR ALL OF THE THINGS HE

COULD THINK OF.

DON'T THANK HIM FOR THE

ILLNESS.

HE IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF

THAT.

DON'T THANK HIM FOR THAT.

BUT THANK HIM FOR JESUS.

THANK HIM FOR THE CROSS.

THANK HIM FOR BY HIS

STRIPES YOU ARE HEALED.

THANK HIM FOR THAT.

AND WHEN YOU GET SO FULL

OF PRAISE, YOU FIND THAT

HE GETS ENTHRONED IN THAT.

HIS PRESENCE COMES DOWN.

AND ALL THESE OTHER THINGS

FADE AWAY.

YOU LITERALLY COME INTO

THE THRONE ROOM OF GOD.

JUST AS RICK DID.

AND YOU GET TO HEAR THIS

VOICE.

YOU GET TO SENSE THIS

PRESENCE.

AND IN THAT PLACE, ALL

THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

SO TERRY AND I ARE GOING

TO PRAY WITH YOU.

WE'RE GOING TO AGREE.

AND JESUS SAID THESE

WORDS, "IF TWO OR MORE

AGREE TOUCHING ANYTHING,

IT SHALL BE DONE BY MY

FATHER IN HEAVEN."

SO IN AN ACT OF FAITH, LAY

YOUR HAND ON THAT PART OF

YOUR BODY THAT NEEDS

HEALING.

IF THERE ARE PEOPLE AROUND

YOU, ASK THEM TO COME AND

PRAY.

AND LET'S JUST BELIEVE AND

LET'S THANK HIM FOR LIFE.

LET'S THANK HIM FOR JESUS.

AND LET'S BELIEVE THAT ALL

THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

LET'S PRAY.

LORD, WE LIFT THE NEEDS OF

THE AUDIENCE TO YOU.

AND AS PEOPLE ARE LAYING

HANDS ON THAT AREA OF THE

BODY THAT NEEDS HEALING,

AS LOVED ONES ARE COMING

AROUND THEM AND LAYING

HANDS ON THEIR BODIES NOW,

WE COME INTO AGREEMENT

WITH THEM AND WE DECLARE

OVER THEM ALL THINGS ARE

POSSIBLE AND WE PRAISE YOU

NOW.

WE THANK YOU FOR LIFE, FOR

BREATH, THE BREATH THAT

YOU GAVE US.

WE THANK YOU FOR JESUS.

WE THANK YOU THAT BY HIS

STRIPES WE ARE HEALED, WE

WERE HEALED.

AND WE ASK THAT YOUR

PRESENCE WOULD JUST INVADE

AND BE IN THEIR BODIES, BE

ALL AROUND THEM.

FILL THE ROOM WITH URE YOUR

GLORY, LORD.

AND WE AGREE AND WE SAY

OUT LOUD, BE HEALED IN

JESUS' NAME.

THERE IS SOMEONE, YOU'VE

GOT SERIOUS KIDNEY

CONDITIONS.

IT IS VERY PAINFUL,

PARTICULARLY IN YOUR RIGHT

KIDNEY, AND GOD IS HEALING

YOU RIGHT NOW.

HE IS RESTORING KIDNEY

FUNCTION.

HE IS TAKING AWAY CANCER

RIGHT NOW.

IN JESUS' NAME, RECEIVE

IT.

BELIEVE IT.

IT'S FOR YOU.

BELIEVE IT NOW.

TERRY?

Terry: THERE IS

SOMEONE WITH TREMENDOUS

JOINT PAIN.

GOD IS HEALING THAT.

YOU'LL FEEL A WARMTH COME

EVER O UR YOUR JOINTS AND IT IS

GONE.

IN JESUS' NAME.

Gordon: WE THANK YOU,

LORD.

IF YOU'VE BEEN TOUCHED, WE

WANT TO SHARE IN YOUR

MIRACLE.

1-800-700-7000.

WE LEAVE YOU WITH THESE

WORDS: "PRAYER FOR ONE

WORDS: "PRAYER FOR ONE

ANOTHER THAT YOU MAY BE

HEALED."
