TODAY SHE SITS DOWN TO TALK

ABOUT HER FAMILY AND HER

FAITH.

I TRUST HIM AND I LOVE

HIM.

PLUS, A FAMILY OF FOUR

IS PLUNGED INTO A WATERY

GRAVE.

IT WAS VERY MUCH LIKE I

WAS ALREADY DEAD.

SEE THEIR SUPERNATURAL

RESCUE ON TODAY'S "THE 700

CLUB."

IT'S A MIRACLE.

Pat: WELCOME, LADIES

AND GENTLEMEN, TO THIS

EDITION OF "THE 700 CLUB."

CAN YOU IMAGINE YOU'RE IN

A BOAT, AND YOU'RE IN A

RIVER, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN

THE RIVER IS GOING FASTER

AND FASTER, AND YOU

REALIZE YOU'RE HEADING

TOWARDS A DAM THAT COULD

BE OVER A WATERFALL, WHICH

COULD END YOUR LIFE.

WE'VE GOT THAT STORY

TODAY.

A MIRACLE TOOK PLACE.

Wendy: WOW, I HOPE

SO.

Pat: OTHERWISE, WE

WON'T HAVE MUCH OF A

STORY, WILL WE?

OKAY.

WENDY, YOU'VE GOT THE

STORY -- SHE'S THE HOST OF

"FOX AND FRIENDS," A NEW

MOM AND THE AUTHOR OF A

NEW CHILDREN'S BOOK CALLED

"TAKE HEART, MY CHILD."

Wendy: I RECENTLY SAT

DOWN WITH AINSLEY EARHARDT

TO TALK ABOUT HER FAITH,

HER BOOK, AND LIVING HER

DREAM.

> IF YOU'RE AN EARLY

RISER, CHANCES ARE YOU'VE

SEEN AINSLEY EARHARDT, THE

NEWEST CO-HOST OF "FOX AND

FRIENDS."

WHEN NOT ON THE FAMOUS

COUCH WITH STEVEN BRIAN,

SHE INTERVIEWS BIG NAMES

LIKE MELANIA TRUMP, AND

SHE RECENTLY UNVEILED HER

NEW BOOK "TAKE HEART MY

CHILD: A MOTHER'S DREAM."

IT IMMEDIATELY SHOT TO

NUMBER ONE ON THE "NEW

YORK TIMES" BEST-SELLER'S

LIST.

I'M, LIKE, OH, MY WORD.

THIS IS SUCH A GOD THING.

I KNOW GOD HAD HIS HAND ON

THIS FROM THE VERY

BEGINNING.

IT MADE ME LAUGH.

DID YOU EVER HEARD OF THE

BOOK "SARAH LAUGHED"?

THE BIBLE SAID SHE LAUGHED

AND I CAN TOTALLY RELATE

TO THAT BECAUSE GOD IS SO

GOOD.

AND GOD DID THIS, AND I

KNEW HE WOULD.

Wendy: WHEN NOT ON

THE AIR, AINSLEY SPENDS

TIME WITH 1-YEAR-OLD

DAUGHTER HAYDEN, FOR WHOM

SHE WROTE THE BOOK.

I CAN TAKE HEART

BECAUSE I KNOW HE IS IN

CONTROL.

AND I WANT HAYDEN, MY

LITTLE GIRL, TO KNOW SHE

CAN TAKE HEART.

I AM ALWAYS HERE FOR HER.

I WILL LOVE HER IN

CONDITIONALLY, THE WAY GOD

LOVES ME.

Wendy: WRITING WHILE

PREGNANT, AINSLEY FILLS

THE BOOK WITH

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES, LIKE

THE ONES HER DAD USED TO

LEAVE HER AND HER SIBLINGS

AT THE DINNER TABLE.

DISNEY SAID, I HOPE

I'LL NEVER BE AFRAID TO

FAIL.

BECAUSE DAD SAID YOU NEVER

WANT THE FEAR OF FAILURE

TO STAND IN BETWEEN YOU

AND YOUR DESTINY.

AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE A

LEAP.

AND THAT'S WHAT I WRITE IN

THE BOOK.

Wendy: AINSLEY GREW

UP IN SOUTH CAROLINA,

MAJORED IN BROADCASTING,

AND LANDED ANCHORING JOBS

IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND

TEXAS, BEFORE BEING CALLED

UP TO FOX IN 2007.

WHEN I GOT THE JOB AT

FOX, I SAID, GOD, ARE YOU

SURE?

I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT

POLITICS.

I HAD BEEN COVERING CAR

ACCIDENTS AND POTHOLES AND

MY HOME TOWN.

I'M GOING TO JUMP INTO

THIS BIG JOB.

Wendy: A JOB AINSLEY

TAKES SERIOUSLY.

FOR "FOX AND FRIENDS,"

I WAKE UP AT 3:00.

I GO STRAIGHT INTO MY

OFFICE AND PUT ON MY DRESS

AND THE HEELS.

THAT MORNING I GET THE

TALKING POINTS.

AND THE TALKING POINTS ARE

ALL ADLIBBED.

IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE

ELECTION OR BLACK FRIDAY

OR CHRISTMAS OR WHATEVER

IT MIGHT BE, OR EVEN THE

BOOK, WE WANT TO BE

PREPARED.

AND SO I'M STUDYING IN THE

CHAIR FOR THAT.

AND THEN I GO DOWN AND WE

HAVE A MEETING ABOUT AN

HOUR BEFORE THE SHOW.

AND WE DISCUSS WHAT IS

COMING UP ON THE SHOW,

WITH ALL OF THE PRODUCERS

AND MY CO-ANCHORS.

Wendy: THIS IS ALL

HAPPENING AT 5 a.m?

THAT'S RIGHT.

Wendy: IS THERE

COFFEE?

THERE IS A LOT OF

COFFEE.

AND THEN WE GO GET MICS

AND SIT ON THE CURVY COUCH

AND 6:00 EASTERN TIME

WE'RE LIVE ON THE AIR ALL

OVER THE WORLD.

Wendy: I AM A

FAITHFUL VIEWER.

I'M NOT KIDDING.

I WATCH EVERY SINGLE

MORNING AND YOU NEVER LOOK

TIRED.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE HAVE A GOOD MAKEUP

TEAM.

Wendy: AND IF YOU

WATCH THE SHOW, YOU'LL SEE

AINSLEY DOESN'T SHY AWAY

FROM HER CHRISTIAN FAITH.

FOX HAS NEVER TOLD ME I

CAN'T EMBRACE M SHARE MY FAITH.

THEY WANT TO EMBRACE THAT.

THEY WANT YOU TO BE

YOURSELF.

I DECIDED, LET LOOSE, I'M

GOING TO BE MYSELF.

Wendy: WHILE LIVING

HER DREAM NOW, IT WASN'T

TOO LONG AGO THAT AINSLEY

AND HER HUSBAND WILL WENT

THROUGH A HEARTBREAKING

MISCARRIAGE.

WE HEARD THAT HEARTBEAT

AND IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL

AND SO COOL.

AND WE WENT BACK FOR THE

NEXT APPOINTMENT, AND THE

DOCTOR SAID THERE WAS NO

HEARTBEAT.

MY HUSBAND HELD MY HAND,

AND WE PRAYED FOR A

HEALTHY CHILD, AND GOD HAD

A DIFFERENT PATH.

I KNOW I'LL MEET THAT

LITTLE GIRL -- WE FOUND IT

WAS A LITTLE GIRL.

AND THREE MONTHS LATER WE

FOUND OUT WE WERE PREGNANT

WITH HAYDEN.

AGAIN, MY PARENTS TEACHING

ME TO HAVE THIS POSITIVE

ATTITUDE.

THEY SAID WE NEVER WOULD

HAVE HAD HAYDEN IF YOU

HADN'T GONE THROUGH THE

STRUGGLES A FEW MONTHS

BEFORE.

I'M SO GRATEFUL.

AND SHE WAS BORN AND IT

WAS THE BEST DAY.

THAT AND BECOMING A

CHRISTIAN, THE TWO BEST

DAYS OF MY LIFE.

Wendy: HOW IN THE

WORLD DO YOU JUGGLE ALL OF

THIS?

FULL DISCLOSURE.

IT IS NOT EASY.

I TOTALLY RELY ON GOD.

AND SOME MONTHS ARE

EASIER, I FEEL LIKE, IN MY

WALK WITH GOD.

Wendy: AINSLEY SAYS

SHE IS GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF

HER SUCCESS.

AND GIVES GOD THE CREDIT.

AND THE MOMENT I STOP

GIVING HIM THE GLORY IS

THE MOMENT I WILL FALL AND

I WILL FAIL.

AND I KNOW THAT BECAUSE

I'VE EXPERIENCED THAT IN

MY LIFE.

I TURNED MY BACK ON HIM.

AND IT WAS THE HARDEST

TIME IN MY LIFE.

YOU KNOW, I TRUST HIM.

AND I LOVE HIM.

I'M JUST GRATEFUL.

JUST GRATEFUL.

ALL OF MY DREAMS HAVE COME

TRUE.

Wendy: WOW, THAT WAS

SO MUCH FUN, HANGING OUT

WITH AINSLEY FOR THAT DAY

IN NEW YORK.

SOME OF THE PROCEEDS FROM

AINSLEY BOOK, "TAKE HEART

MY CHILD," WILL BE DONATED

TO THE MILITARY.

TO A CHARITY THAT PROVIDES

SCHOLARSHIPS AND

ASSISTANCE TO MILITARY

FAMILIES.

I'M TOLD THIS BOOK MAKES A

GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT.

SHE ACTUALLY SIGNED ONE

FOR MY NIECE, SO I'M

EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

Pat: SHE'S A SWEET

GIRL.

AND IT IS A BEAUTIFUL

BOOK.

BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS.

IT WOULD BE A NICE

CHRISTMAS GIFT.

Wendy: COMING UP,

WE'LL TALK ABOUT DONALD

TRUMP'S AGENDA FOR

AMERICA, A POSSIBLE FIGHT

IN THE SENATE OVER HIS

CABINET CHOICES, AND HOW

THE MEDIA HAS BEEN

TREATING HIM, WHEN WE COME

BACK.

Pat: WELCOME BACK.

YOU'RE WATCHING "THE 700

CLUB."

DELIGHTED TO HAVE YOU WITH

US.

PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD

TRUMP IS LETTING THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW HE IS

GETTING READY TO PUSH HIS

AGENDA FORWARD WHEN HE

TAKES OFFICE.

TRUMP TALKED ABOUT HIS

PLANS ON HIS "THANK YOU

TOUR," IN A VISIT TO

WISCONSIN, WHERE HE SAID

HE'LL BE GLAD TO WORK WITH

THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS IN

CONGRESS.

OUR CAITLIN BURKE HAS THAT

STORY.

Reporter: IN HIS HOME

STATE, HOUSE SPEAKER PAUL

RYAN INTRODUCED DONALD

TRUMP.

AND ALTHOUGH TRUMP HAD HIS

DIFFERENCES WITH RYAN

DURING THE CAMPAIGN, HE

SAID THEY'LL BE WORKING

CLOSELY TOGETHER TO GET

HIS AGENDA THROUGH

CONGRESS, ALSO MAKING IT

CLEAR HE NOW THINKS HIGHLY

OF HIM.

HONESTLY, HE IS LIKE A

FINE WINE.

EVERY DAY GOES BY, I GET

TO APPRECIATE HIS GENIUS

MORE AND MORE.

NOW, IF HE EVER GOES

AGAINST ME, I'M NOT GOING

TO SAY THAT, OKAY.

HE IS A GREAT GUY, AND WE

HAVE SOME AMAZING THINGS

IN STORE.

AND WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON

TAXES.

WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON

OBAMACARE.

WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON

THINGS, AND HE IS GOING TO

LEAD THE WAY, SO THANK

YOU.

Reporter: TRUMP ALSO

TOOK ON THE TOPIC OF HIS

UNCONVENTIONAL PICK FOR

SECRETARY OF STATE,

EXXON-MOBILE C.E.O. REX

TILLERSON.

REX WILL BE A FIERCE

ADVOCATE FOR AMERICA'S

INTEREST AROUND THE WORLD,

AND HAS THE INSIGHTS AND

TALENTS NECESSARY TO HELP

REVERSE YEARS OF FOREIGN

POLICY BLUNDERS AND

DISASTERS.

Reporter: WHILE

TILLERSON HAS THE APPROVAL

OF MANY, SOME DEMOCRATIC

AND REPUBLICAN SENATORS

QUESTION HIS CLOSE TIES TO

RUSSIA, SETTING HIM UP FOR

A POSSIBLE CONFIRMATION

BATTLE.

MEANWHILE, TRUMP CONTINUES

TO MEET WITH A WIDE

VARIETY OF PEOPLE.

TUESDAY ALONE SPEAKING

WITH BILL GATES, KANYE

WEST, AND FORMER NFL

PLAYERS, JIM BROWN AND RAY

LEWIS.

ON THE AGENDA FOR TODAY,

SOME OF AMERICA'S TOP TECH

LEADERS FROM COMPANIES

LIKE APPLE, Facebook,

GOOGLE, AND AMAZON.

DESPITE EARLY REPORTS THAT

TRUMP'S TRANSITION TEAM

WAS IN CHAOS, HE HAS

NEARLY FINISHED FILLING

OUT HIS KEY CHOICES FOR

HIS ADMINISTRATION.

CHOOSING FORMER TEXAS GORN

RICK PERRY FOR ENERGY

SECRETARY.

ALL OF THE CABINET

POSITIONS REQUIRE SENATE

APPROVAL.

WITH DEMOCRATS CERTAIN TO

OPPOSE SOME OF THEM, BUT

REPUBLICANS HOLDING THE

MAJORITY, AND THE ABILITY

TO CONFIRM TRUMP'S

CHOICES.

CAITLIN BURKE, CBN NEWS.

Pat: WITH US NOW TO

TALK ABOUT THE TRUMP

TRANSITION IS SEAN SPICER,

THE COMMUNICATIONS

DIRECTOR FOR THE

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL

COMMITTEE.

WE WELCOME YOU TO "THE 700

CLUB."

THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.

THANK YOU, SIR.

Pat: I WAS TOLD THAT

TRUMP MIGHT WELL JUST MAKE

A BLANKET CANCELLATION OF

ALL OF THE EXECUTIVE

ORDERS OF HIS PREDECESSOR

AND THEM COME OUT WITH A

FRESH SLATE.

IS THERE ANY TRUTH TO

THAT?

HE IS LOOKING AT EVERY

ONE OF THEM.

I THINK THE REALITY IS

THAT HE UNDERSTANDS THAT A

LOT OF THESE REGULATIONS,

A LOT OF THESE EXECUTIVE

ORDERS, ARE HAMPERING

ECONOMIC GROWTH AND JOB

CREATION.

HE HAS HIS LEGISLATIVE

TEAM REVIEWING ALL OF THE

EXECUTIVE ORDERS THAT WERE

ISSUED, AND A LOT OF THE

REGULATIONS THAT WERE

INSTITUTED OVER THE LAST

EIGHT YEARS.

YOU SAW THE CARRIER DEAL.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS HE

WAS ABLE TO TELL CARRIER,

NOT ONLY DO I WANT TO KEEP

THE JOBS HERE, BUT I'M

GOING TO TRY TO MAKE IT

EASIER FOR YOU CONTINUE TO

GROW JOBS, MAKE LESS

REGULATIONS AND TAKE THE

TAXES DOWN.

AS A SUCCESSFUL

BUSINESSMAN, HE

UNDERSTANDS THIS.

Pat: DO YOU THINK THE

REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE

ARE GOING TO GO ALONG WITH

HIS AGENDA?

WE LOOK AT TILLERSON AND

MAYBE LINDSEY GRAHAM AND

JOHN McCAIN AND SOME OF

THEM MAY BE GOING IN THE

OTHER DIRECTION.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE 51 VOTES

AT LEAST.

I ACTUALLY THINK THAT

REX TILLERSON IS GOING TO

GET HIGH INTO THE 50s.

AND I SAY THIS AS SOMEONE

WHO HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY

TO TALK TO HIM A LITTLE

AND UNDERSTAND HIS STORY

BETTER.

WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND NOT

JUST WHAT A SUCCESS HE HAS

BEEN AS A WORLD CLASS

BUSINESS LEADER BUT AS AN

INDIVIDUAL, HE IS GOING TO

BRING A BREATH OF FRESH

AIR TO WASHINGTON, D.C.,

TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT,

AND REESTABLISH AMERICA'S

PLACE IN THE WORLD.

HE IS A TOUGH, TOUGH

NEGOTIATOR, AND HE KNOWS

HOW TO GET THINGS DONE.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT

MR. TRUMP SAW IN HIM IS A

GUY WHO KNOWS HOW TO BE

SUCCESSFUL, ADVOCATE FOR A

POSITION AND GET RESULTS.

HE LOOKED AND SAID, THAT'S

WHAT I WANT AS A SECRETARY

OF STATE BECAUSE WE HAVE

TO REESTABLISH AMERICA'S

PLACE IN THE WORLD.

HE HAS FOUR DECADES OF

RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE

AROUND THE GLOBE, WITH

PEOPLE HE HAS WORKED WITH.

HE STARTS ON DAY ONE WITH

SOMEONE THEY KNOW THEY CAN

TRUST AND WHO IS GOING TO

BE TOUGH AND FIGHT FOR

AMERICA.

Pat: EVERY DAY THE

MEDIA IS AFTER TRUMP.

IT IS UNBELIEVABLE, THE

STUFF THEY'RE COMING UP

WITH.

THEY'VE GOT ALL OF THIS

HACKING.

AND NANCY PELOSI'S

DAUGHTER IS ONE OF THE

ELECTORS, AND SHE IS GOING

TO SAY, I'VE GOT TO HAVE A

BRIEFING ON RUSSIAN

HACKING.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE IS

GOING TO MEET NEXT WEEK.

IS THERE ANY PROBLEM WITH

GETTING THAT THING

THROUGH?

WELL, FIRST, DONALD

TRUMP CARRIED 2300

ACCOUNTS, 62 MILLION

AMERICANS VOTED FOR HIM.

I THINK HIS WIN -- IT IS

SAD TO SEE SOME ON THE

LEFT, AND SOME ON THE

MEDIA, AS YOU POINT OUT,

TRY TO DELEGITIMIZE THE

DEPTH THE WIN ON

NOVEMBER 8.

YOU KNOW THIS.

YOU'VE BEEN FIGHTING THIS

FOR HOW MANY DECADES?

THE LIBERAL MEDIA WANTS TO

PAINT CONSERVATIVE IDEAS.

PEOPLE WHO STAND UP AND

FIGHT FOR LIFE -- THEY'RE

AGAINST IT, AND WE KNOW

THAT.

I THINK THAT ONE OF THE

THINGS THAT DONALD TRUMP

DOES BETTER THAN ANYBODY

IS SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE.

HE KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT, AND

HE KNOWS HOW TO TAKE

CONSERVATIVE VALUES AND

MAKE SURE THAT THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW HE IS

GOING TO FIGHT FOR THEM,

WHETHER IT IS LIFE OR

FISCAL POLICY.

I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT

THE TOTALITY OF THE PEOPLE

THAT HE HAS BROUGHT INTO

HIS CABINET FOR COURSE SO

FAR, THEY ARE ALL

WORLD-CLASS SUCCESSFUL

PEOPLE.

PEOPLE IN GOVERNMENT,

PEOPLE IN BUSINESS, PEOPLE

IN ACADEMIC, PEOPLE FROM

THE MILITARY.

HE IS A GUY THAT IS GOING

TO GET REAL THINGS DONE.

AND THERE IS NO QUESTION

THAT BUSINESS AS USUAL IS

OVER.

AND I THINK THERE IS A LOT ARE A

LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE

REALLY SCARED ABOUT THAT.

Pat: YOU HAVE TO HAVE

A CERTAIN NUMBER OF

PRIORITIES, AND YOU SAY

ONE, TWO, THREE -- WHAT DO

YOU THINK INITIALLY COMING

OUT OF THE BOX -- HE IS

GOING TO HAVE HIS

INAUGURATION, AND IT WILL

BE A WONDERFUL TIME.

AND THEN HE IS GOING TO IS

IT DOWN AT A DESK INSIDE

THE CAPITAL AND HE HAS TO

MAKE SOME DECISIONS.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ARE THE

TOP THREE?

OBAMACARE IS DEFINITELY

ONE.

I THINK ENERGY

INDEPENDENCE IS ANOTHER.

TRADE AND WITHDRAWING FROM

T.P.P., AND NOTIFYING THAT

HE IS GOING TO RENEGOTIATE

NAFTA.

IT WILL BE ONE, TWO,

THREE, TO 100 ON DAY ONE.

WHEN YOU START REALIZING

ALL OF THE STUFF HE TALKS

ABOUT -- THAT FIRST DAY,

I'M NOT SURE HE WILL HAVE

TIME -- HE MAY STOP BY THE

INAUGURAL BALL, BUT HE IS

GOING TO START THE SECOND

HIS HAND COMES OFF THE

BIBLE MAKING SURE THAT

REAL CHANGE OCCURS IN

WASHINGTON.

Pat: WHAT ABOUT THAT

IRANIAN NUCLEAR DEAL?

IT WAS SO FLAWED.

IS HE GOING TO GO FOR AN

OVERTURN OF THAT, OR IS HE

JUST GOING TO TRY TO

MODIFY IT?

I THINK HE IS GOING TO

TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT

OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE.

HE UNDERSTANDS THAT WAS

BAD FOR AMERICA.

HE IS GOING TO WORK WITH

CONGRESS AND HIS TEAM TO

FIGURE OUT WOULD OPTIONS

ARE AVAILABLE TO GET A

MUCH, MUCH BETTER DEAL FOR

AMERICA.

Pat: TILLERSON IS

PROBABLY THE MOST

CONTENTIOUS, BUT HE HAS

SOME OTHER PEOPLE IN THERE

THAT WILL DRAW SOME FIRE.

ONE MORE TIME, HAS HE GOT

THE DEMOCRATS IN THE

SENATE LINED UP ENOUGH SO

THEY CAN PUSH THIS THING

THROUGH?

HARRY REID DID THE NUCLEAR

OPTION, SO YOU DON'T HAVE

TO WORRY ABOUT 30 VOTES.

IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY

PROBLEM GETTING THESE

PEOPLE APPROVED?

WE'VE GOT A MARGIN

THERE, AND I THINK SENATOR

MANCHIN FROM WEST VIRGINIA

TALKED ABOUT SUPPORTING

THE TRUMP NOMINEES.

SO THAT GETS YOU TO 53.

I THINK THERE ARE SOME

OTHER RED STATE DEMOCRATS

THAT CLEARLY UNDERSTAND

HIS MESSAGE RESONATED IN

THEIR STATE.

BUT YOU BRING UP REX

TILLERSON, I THINK THE

BIGGEST FLAW IS HE IS JUST

NOT KNOWN TO A LOT OF

FOLKS.

THE MORE PEOPLE KNOW HIS

RECORD OF SUCCESS, I THINK

THAT VOTE TOTAL IS GOING

TO GROW HIGHER AND HIGHER.

BEYOND THAT, I THINK EVERY

ONE OF THESE FOLKS IS

GOING TO SAIL THROUGH.

THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT

EVERY ONE OF THEM IS

HIGHLY QUALIFIED AND

UNDERSTANDS THE TASK AT

HAND.

Pat: SEAN, THANK YOU

SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US.

IF WE CAN HELP YOU ALONG

THE WAY, GIVE US A CALL.

OKAY?

THANK YOU, REVEREND, I

APPRECIATE IT.

Wendy: I THINK IT IS

INTERESTING THAT FORMER

SECRETARY OF STATE

CONDOLEEZZA RICE IS VERY

MUCH IN SUPPORT OF REX

TILLERSON.

Pat: SEVERAL OF THE

BIG GUNS FROM THE PAST

HAVE SAID THE SAME THING.

GATES HAS SAID THE SAME

THING.

THEY KNOW HIM.

HE'S AN EXTRAORDINARY MAN.

IT LOOKS LIKE EVERY ONE IN

THOSE CABINET PICKS ARE

EXTRAORDINARY LEADERS.

AND THE THING OF IT IS

THEY'RE VERY HIGHLY

PARTISAN IN CERTAIN AREAS.

THEY WANT TO OVERTURN

CERTAIN OF THE OBAMA

REGULATIONS AND PROBLEMS.

WELL, WE'LL SEE WHAT

HAPPENS.

Wendy: THE ENERGY

SECRETARY, WITH RICK

PERRY --

Pat: I LOVE THAT

PICK.

Wendy: I'M SURE HE'S

REALLY GLAD NOW HE FORGOT

THAT.

Pat: YEARS AGO, WHEN

JIMMY CARTER WAS RUNNING,

THE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN THE

CONVENTION WERE PRIMARILY

FROM THE TEACHERS' UNION.

THEY HAD AT LEAST A THIRD

OR MORE OF THE DELEGATES.

AND SO HE SAID, OKAY, I'M

GOING TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE

PRESENT AND I'M GOING TO

SET UP A DEPARTMENT OF

EDUCATION.

THAT'S HOW IT STARTED.

AND IT STARTED, I THINK,

WITH ABOUT A $10 BILLION

BUDGET.

AND NOW IT IS UP TO

$80 BILLION OR

$90 BILLION.

AND IN THE OLD DAYS,

RONALD REAGAN SAID, WE'RE

GOING TO ABOLISH THE

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY

HAS THE COURAGE TO DO IT

ANYMORE, BUT IT IS ONE OF

THOSE THINGS --

Wendy: AND IT IS NOT

ONLY THE PEOPLE HE IS

PICKING, BUT THE WAY HE IS

PICKING IT.

AND THE WAY WE GET TO SEE

IT ALL IN REALTIME.

THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED.

Pat: IT IS AMAZING.

IT HAS BEEN A FUN PROCESS.

THERE ARE ABOUT 5,000 OR

MORE HE HAS TO PUT IN AS

KEY APPOINTEES.

YOU'VE GOT THE SECRETARIES

OF THE NAVY AND THE ARMY

AND THE AIR FORCE.

Wendy: WHO DO YOU

THINK HE IS GOING TO PICK

FOR VETERANS' AFFAIRS.

ANY IDEAS?

Pat: I DON'T KNOW.

Wendy: I HEARD SOME

RUMBLINGS ABOUT SARAH

PALIN.

Pat: HEAVEN HELP US.

THAT WOULD BE A TERRIBLE

THING.

SHE IS AN OUTSPOKEN LADY,

BUT SHE HAS TOO MUCH ON

HER PLATE.

THAT'S A NICE WAY OF

PUTTING IT.

ANYHOW, THAT'S WHAT IS

GOING ON IN OUR WORLD.

IT IS FUN TO WATCH.

IT WILL BE DRAGGED OUT

UNTIL AFTER CHRISTMAS, AND

THEN -- BUT THE ELECTORAL

COLLEGE IS THE KEY THING,

AND MAYBE IT WILL SHUT

SOME OF THE LEFT UP.

I'M SO TIRED OF PEOPLE

SAYING, WE'RE GOING TO TRY

TO GET THE LECTORS TO

CHANGE THEIR MIND.

AND THESE ARE THE PEOPLE

WHO CRITICIZED TRUMP WHEN

HE SAID HE WOULD WAIT TO

SEE WHAT THE RESULTS WHERE

BEFORE HE DECIDED WHAT HE

WOULD DO.

THESE PEOPLE ARE DOING

EVERYTHING THING THEY CAN

TO UNDER MINE THE

ELECTORAL PROCESS.

I THINK THE ELECTORAL

COLLEGE IS GOING TO HOLD.

OTHERWISE IT WILL GO TO

THE HOUSE OF

REPRESENTATIVES WHERE THE

REPUBLICANS HAVE A

MAJORITY.

JUST LIKE PENNSYLVANIA,

THAT RECOUNT FROM STEIN

WENT THROUGH -- IT WENT

THROUGH IN WISCONSIN, AND

THEY DIDN'T DO A THING.

Wendy: TRUMP GOT MORE

VOTES.

THEY DISCOVERED MORE

VOTES.

Pat: AND IN MICHIGAN

THEY SHUT IT DOWN BECAUSE

THERE WAS NO CREDIBLE

EVIDENCE.

THE SAME THING IN

PENNSYLVANIA.

IT WAS A GIMMICK.

ENOUGH OF THOSE THINGS.

LET'S GET ON WITH

GOVERNING.

AND TRUMP SAID, LET'S MAKE

AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, AND

HE IS DOING IT.

IBM JUST SAID THEY'RE

GOING TO HIRE ANOTHER

35,000 JOBS.

THAT'S GOOD STUFF.

Wendy: COMING UP,

TERROR ON THE WATER FOR A

FAMILY OF FOUR.

THE BOAT JUST SMASHED

INTO THE CONCRETE WALL AND

JUST DRAGGED DOWN THE SIDE

OF IT.

IT WAS A HORRIFYING

FEELING, LIKE FROZEN

PANIC.

Wendy: WATCH HOW ALL

FOUR FAMILY MEMBERS

SURVIVED WITH THE HELP OF

A MYSTERY STRANGER.

Pat: CHRISTMAS IS THE

TIME OF PEACE AND JOY.

I WANT TO GIVE YOU A SCARY

ONE RIGHT NOW BEFORE

CHRISTMAS.

KELLY AND SEAN MERRITT

TOOK THEIR TOO CHILDREN

OUT ON A LAKE THAT WAS

SUPPOSED TO BE A FUN

AFTERNOON OF BOAT RIDING.

SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING,

ALL FOUR OF THEM WERE

FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES.

THE CALL CAME TO 9-1-1

THAT PARTICULAR DAY.

I KNEW WE WOULD ACTUALLY

BE DOING A SEARCH AND

REFEREE INSTEARECOVERY INSTEAD OF A

SEARCH-AND-RESCUE.

WE THOUGHT, OH, IT'S

GORGEOUS OUTSIDE AND SO

WE'LL JUMP IN OUR BOAT AND

GO DOWN THE LAKE AND SEE

ALL OF THE BEAUTIFUL

NATURE HERE IN OUR AREA.

Reporter: KELLY

MERRITT AND HER FAMILY

WERE ENJOYING A SPRING

AFTERNOON ON THE LAKESIDE

OF THE GEORGIA DAM.

THEY DIDN'T REALIZE THAT

THE OPEN GATES OF THE DAM

WERE CREATING A DANGER

UNDERCURRENT.

THE WATER WAS VERY CALM

ON THE TOP.

OUR BOAT WAS BEING PULLED

WITHOUT US KNOWING IT WAS

BEING PULLED.

Reporter: THE CLOSER

THEE GOTHEY GOT TO THE DAM, THE

GREATER THE UNDERTOE.

IT WAS JUST SUCKING THE

BOAT FASTER AND FASTER.

WE HAD LOST CONTROL OF THE

BOAT.

THE MOTOR DID NOT SEEM TO

MATTER ANYMORE.

THE BOAT JUST SMASHED INTO

THE CONCRETE WALL AND JUST

DRAGGED DOWN THE SIDE OF

IT.

I PRAYED TO GOD, AND IT

WAS A HORRIFYING FEELING,

LIKE FROZEN PANIC.

ALL OF A SUDDEN MY SON

DECIDED TO JUMP OUT OF THE

BOAT.

AND HE WAS SWIMMING AS

HARD AS HE COULD, BUT I

WATCHED HIM GET SUCKED

UNDERNEATH THE BOTTLE.

BOAT.

AND THEN I PUT MY ARMS

AROUND MY DAUGHTER, WHO

WAS SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT

OF ME.

Reporter: AS THE BOAT

WAS SUCKED THROUGH THE

WALL, THE WATER FORCED HER

DAUGHTER FROM HER ARMS.

THERE ARE NO WORDS TO

DESCRIBE THE FEELING OF

HER BEING RIPPED AWAY FROM

MY ARMS.

WAS VERIT WAS VERY MUCH LIKE I

WAS ALREADY DEAD.

Reporter: KELLY WAS

SURE SHE WOULD NEVER SEE

HER FAMILY AGAIN.

THE FORCE OF THIS WATER

WAS SO STRONG.

I FELT CONCRETE AND SLIME,

AND I DROPPED FOR WHAT

FELT LIKE AN ETERNITY.

I REACHED UP, AND I COULD

FEEL THE CARPET ON THE

BOTTOM OF THE BOAT.

AND THEN BEHIND ME I COULD

FEEL THE CONCRETE.

I WAS PINNED THERE.

AND IT WAS A HORRIFYING

FEELING.

Reporter: KELLY BEGAN

TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT

SHE MAY DIE.

I WAS HAVING A

CONVERSATION WITH GOD AT

THAT POINT, AND I WAS

TELLING HIM, IN ESSENCE,

THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT I

HAD HAD.

I KNEW IN MY HEART THAT I

WANTED MORE, BUT I DIDN'T

WANT MORE IF MY CHILDREN

WEREN'T GOING TO BE WITH

ME, IF MY HUSBAND WASN'T

GOING TO BE WITH ME.

I SAID, JESUS, I NEED YOU

TO WALK ON WATER RIGHT

NOW.

I FELT IT LITERAL, LIKE --

I DON'T NEED AN AMBULANCE.

I DON'T NE A HELICOPTER.

NEED A HELICOPTER.

I DON'T NEED A LIFEFLIGHT.

I NEED A MIRACLE.

I NEED JESUS.

Reporter: JUST AS SHE

COULD HOLD HER BREATH NO

LONGER, THE BOAT ROLLED

OVER, FREEING HER.

I WAS PULLED TOWARDS

THE SURFACE.

Reporter: KELLY BEGAN

SWIMMING TOWARDS THE

CURRENT, TRYING TO GET TO

SHORE.

THEN I SAW MY SON'S

HEAD.

AND A SECOND OR MORE

AFTER, I SAW THE BACK OF

MY HUSBAND'S HEAD.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE THE

REST OF MY FAMILY WAS.

BUT AT THAT POINT, IT WAS

LIKE HE GAVE ME A HOPE.

KEEP TRYING TO SWIM.

KEEP TRYING TO GET UP.

Reporter: BUT THERE

WAS STILL NO SIGN OF HER

DAUGHTER.

I WAS SCREAMING, WHERE

IS MY DAUGHTER?

BASICALLY MY HUSBAND AND

MY SON STARTED RUNNING

DOWN THE BANK OF THE

RIVER.

THEY WERE HOLLERING BACK,

SHE'S NOT HERE.

I JUST LAID OWNER THE SAND

ON THE SIDE OF THE RIVER,

AND I WAS JUST SCREAMING,

I NEED MY CHILD.

I THOUGHT AT THAT

MOMENT THAT WE HAD LOST

HER.

AND THEN I HEARD SOMEONE

YELL, WE FOUND HER; WE

HAVE HER.

Reporter: SHE HAD

DROPPED DOWN AND FELT

HERSELF ALONE ON THE

RIVERMENT.

RIVER.

SUDDENLY A MAN WALKED

UP AND SAID, MA'AM, I

THINK WE HAVE YOUR

DAUGHTER.

AND HE HAD ON A GREEN

T-SHIRT THAT SAID JOHN 3:

16.

I STARTED FOLLOWING HIM,

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE

WAS JUST THERE IN THE

PATH.

I COULDN'T SEE EVEN A

SCRATCH ON HER.

INDESCRIBABLE.

IT IS INDESCRIBABLE.

AT THAT MOMENT, THAT'S

WHEN I HAD REALIZED THAT

WE HAD EXPERIENCED A

MIRACLE AND WE MADE IT.

WE SURVIVED.

I FELT LIKE ANOTHER

PERSON WAS HOLDING ON TO

ME, BUT THERE WAS NO ONE

AROUND ME WHEN I CAME UP.

I KNEW IT HAD TO BE GOD

BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ONE

ELSE AROUND.

IT WAS NOTHING SHORT OF

GOD'S MERCY, AND FOUR

MIRACLES PERFORMED THAT

DAY FOR THIS FAMILY.

Reporter: WHILE THEY

NEVER SAW THE MAN IN THE

JOHN 3: 1 16 T-SHIRT AGAIN,

THEY WERE GRATEFUL FOR HIS

PROTECTION THAT DAY.

I ALMOST FELT LIKE HE

WAS AN ANGEL.

HE HAD THE BIGGEST,

PRETTIEST SMILE.

AND THAT SMILE CAME WITH A

SENSE OF PEACE.

YOU WOULDN'T THINK HE WAS

THE ONE TO GIVE YOU

REASSURANCE THAT

EVERYTHING IS OKAY, BUT HE

DID.

ABOUT A YEAR LATER, WE

WERE SITTING IN CHURCH,

AND OUR PASTOR LED US TO

READ ISAIAH, AND IT SAID,

"WHEN YOU PASS THROUGH THE

WATERS, I WILL BE WITH US,

AND THE RIVERS WILL NOT

OVERFLOW YOU."

IN THAT MOMENT, I KNEW

THAT GOD HAD GIVEN OUR

FAMILY A BIBLE VERSE THAT

WAS JUST FOR US.

IT WAS OURS.

JESUS HAD TRULY BEEN WITH

US.

HE WAS TRULY WALKING ON

WATER FOR US IN THOSE

MOMENTS.

HE WAS WITH US.

RIGHT NOW I BELIEVE WE

ARE A LIVING MIRACLE.

Pat: WHAT A BEAUTIFUL

FAMILY.

WHAT A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS

STORY.

> LISTEN, WE HAD GIVEN

OR SEP SENT OUT THESE

BEAUTIFUL CARDS THAT SAY

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

AND THEY'RE VERY PRETTY.

AND IN THEM YOU CAN BREAK

OUT THESE LITTLE ROUND

WREATHS HERE.

SO YOU CAN WRITE YOUR

PRAYER REQUESTS ON THEM.

THIS SAYS, A FINANCIAL

MIRACLE.

AND SOMEBODY HAS KIDNEY

STONES AND C.O.P.D.

SOMEBODY IS DIAGNOSED WITH

CHRONIC LEUKEMIA.

THESE ARE A FEW OF THE

THINGS.

AND YOU'VE GOT SOME

OTHERS.

Wendy: SOMEONE WHO

NEEDS HEALING FROM BLOOD

PRESSURE AND HEART ISSUES.

HEALING FOR MY DIABETES.

AND SEVERE COLITIS AND A

BLEEDING COLON.

WOW.

Pat: YOU KNOW, MY

PEACE I GIVE UNTO YOU,

JESUS SAID.

NOT AS THE WORLD GIVES

UNTO YOU, BUT I GIVE YOU

MY PEACE.

THE WORD -- WHEN YOU GREET

SOMEBODY IN HEBREW, YOU

SAY SALOM.

THAT'S THE GREETING,

PEACE.

JESUS GREETED THE THESE PEOPLE

AND SAID, PEACE.

WENDY AND I ARE GOING TO

JOIN HANDS AND WE'RE GOING

TO ASK GOD FOR THE PEACE

TO COME INTO YOUR LIFE.

THERE IS NOTHING

IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE GOD WE

SERVE.

THANK YOU, FATHER.

THE PEACE OF GOD -- WE

SPEAK PEACE OVER THOSE IN

THIS AUDIENCE.

TROUBLED SPIRITS.

THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN

TORMENTED AND THEIR BODIES

ARE WRACKED BECAUSE OF

STRESS.

LORD, TAKE AWAY THE

STRESS.

TAKE AWAY THE CONFUSIONS.

TAKE AWAY THE HATRED AND

THE BITTERNESS.

AND MAY THERE BE PEACE AND

LOVE IN YOUR KINGDOM.

AND IN YOUR WORLD.

WENDY?

Wendy: SO MANY

PEOPLE, YOU JUST NEED TO

FEEL THE FATHER'S LOVE

RIGHT NOW.

YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT GOD

LOVES YOU.

AND RIGHT NOW THE FATHER

IS JUST -- YOU'RE JUST

GOING TO FEEL HIS PRESENCE

WHEREVER YOU ARE.

IF YOU'RE IN FRONT OF YOUR

TV -- WHEREVER YOU ARE

RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE GOING TO

FEEL THE PRESENCE OF GOD

WITH YOU, JUST LOVING ON

YOU, BECAUSE LOVE IS GOING

TO HEAL SO MANY THINGS

THAT YOU NEED HEALING

FROM.

Pat: THERE IS

SOMEBODY -- MAN, IT'S LIKE

YOUR TONGUE IS A CORK

SCREW.

YOU'VE GOT SO MANY LESIONS

AND SORES.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAS

CAUSED IT.

IT IS SOME DIETARY THING,

BUT WHATEVER IT IS, RIGHT

NOW GOD IS HEALING IT.

PUT YOUR HAND OVER YOUR

NOUTH.

MOUTH.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS,

TOUCH.

Wendy: THERE IS

SOMEONE -- THERE IS A

SEVERED RELATIONSHIP THAT

YOU DESPERATELY WANT GOD

TO FIX, AND HE IS WORKING

RIGHT NOW BEHIND THE

SCENES.

IT'S DONE.

Pat: AMEN.

THANK YOU, LORD.

AMEN AND AMEN.

> WHEREVER YOU ARE,

RAISE YOUR HANDS.

THANK GOD.

THANK HIM FOR THE PEACE OF

GOD.

THE PEACE OF GOD THAT

SURPASSES ALL

UNDERSTANDING.

KEEP YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS

IN CHRIST JESUS.

Wendy: STILL AHEAD,

LARRY SAYS, "MY SON SAYS

I'M COMMITTING A SIN BY

CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS

BECAUSE HE THINKS IT IS A

PAGAN HOLIDAY.

IS HE RIGHT?"

PAT ANSWERS THAT AND MUCH

MORE LATER ON "THE 700

CLUB."

WELCOME BACK TO

WASHINGTON FOR THIS CBN

"NEWSWATCH."

JOHN KASICH HAS SIGNED A

BILL THAT BANS ABORTIONS

AFTER 20 WEEKS, BUT HE

ALSO VETOED A BILL KNOWN

AS THE HEARTBEAT BILL.

OHIO IS NOW THE 15th

STATE TO ADOPT THE 20-WEEK

ABORTION BAN.

IT WAS CREATED TO PROTECT

THE UNBORN FROM FEELING

PAIN BY 20 WEEKS.

KASICH SAYS THE HEARTBEAT

BILL WOULD HAVE COST OHIO

AN EXPENSIVE LEGAL BATTLE

AGAINST PRO-CHOICE

ADVOCATES.

OHIO LAWMAKERS, THOUGH

COULD OVERRIDE HIS VETO.

> U.S. SENATOR CHARLES

GRASSLEY HAS ASKED THE

F.B.I. TO START A CRIMINAL

INVESTIGATION INTO PLANNED

PARENTHOOD AND SOME OF ITS

LOCAL AFFILIATES FOR THE

PEOPLE ILLEGAL HARVESTING

AND SALE OF BODY PARTS

FROM BORTIONS.

GRASSLEY, WHO IS CHAIRMAN

OF THE SENATE JUDICIARY

COMMITTEE, MADE THAT

RECOMMENDATION AFTER

INVESTIGATION BY COMMITTEE

STAFF.

JAMES LANGFORD CALLED THE

FINDINGS,

QUOTE,"STAGGERING," AND HE

SAID PLANNED PARENTHOOD

HAS ENGAGED IN I INHUMANE

AND BARBARIC PROCEDURES

THAT ARE POSSIBLY

ILLEGALLY AND THEY MUST BE

HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

> WELL, YOU CAN ALWAYS

GET THE LATEST NEWS BY

GOING TO OUR WEBSITE AT

cbnnews.com.

PAT AND WENDY WILL BE BACK

WITH MORE OF "THE 700

CLUB" RIGHT AFTER THIS.

Wendy: I LIKE THAT.

WELCOME BACK.

I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT

TOMORROW WE'LL BE

ANNOUNCING THE WINNER OF

OUR Facebook CHRISTMAS

COOKIE CONTEST.

AND PAT AND TERRY WILL BE

COOKIES -- NO FAIR.

BE SURE TO TUNE INTO THAT

Pat: I HAD TO JUDGE A

CAKE CONTEST LAST FRIDAY.

I TOOK ONE FOR THE TEAM.

I'M NOT SURE ON COOKIES.

I'LL LET YOU DO THE

Wendy: WELL, THANK

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO

TO Facebook.com/700club,

AND YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE

COOKIE RECIPES.

> WELL, IT IS TIME TO

"BRING IT ON."

WE'VE GOT AN INTERESTING

QUESTION FROM LARRY, WHO

SAYS, "I'M A CHRISTIAN AND

READ THE BIBLE DAILY, AND

ALL OF MY LIFE I WAS

BROUGHT UP CELEBRATING

CHRISTMAS, WHICH INCLUDED

SANTA CLAUS, CHRISTMAS

TREES, PRESENTS, ETC.

MY SON TELLS ME I'M

CHITING A SIN BECAUSE

CHRISTMAS IS A PAGAN

HOLIDAY AND JESUS DOES NOT

APPROVE.

AND HE SAYS JESUS WAS NOT

BORN ON DECEMBER 25th,

AND I'M WORSHIPPING A

FALSE IDOL.

I'M CONFUSED ON HOW TO

CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS.

MY SON SAYS WHEN HE HAS

CHILDREN, HE WILL TELL

THEM THERE IS NO SANTA

CLAUS.

HAVE I BEEN COMMITTING A

SIN ALL OF MY LIFE?"

Pat: NO, YOU HAVEN'T.

YOU KNOW, THE CATHOLICS --

WHEN THEY CAME INTO A

CULTURE THEY FOUND OUT,

WELL, WHAT IS THE

PREDOMINANT WORSHIP OF

THIS CULTURE?

AND WHAT THEY DID WAS

CHRISTIANIZE IT.

SO THEY FOUND THE WINTER

SOLSTICE AND THE TUTONIC

THINGS AND THEY HAD YULE

LOGS AND ALL OF THAT.

AND THEY SAID, LET'S

CHRISTIANIZE IT.

AND THE SAME THING WITH

EASTER.

THAT WAS A PAGAN HOLIDAY,

TOO.

AND THEY HAD THE WINTER

SOLSTICE AND THEY HAD THE

VERNAL EQUINOX AND ALL OF

THIS OTHER STUFF AND THEY

CHRISTIANIZED IT.

GOD IS INTERESTED IN YOUR

HEART.

DO YOU HAVE EVIL IN YOUR

HEART?

ARE YOU FILLED WITH

SLANDER AND ANGER?

THAT'S WHAT HE IS LOOKING

AT.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

THE FACT THAT YOU'VE GOT A

CHRISTMAS TREE -- WHO

CARES.

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE SANTA

CLAUS -- IF YOU WANT TO

HAVE SANTA CLAUS --

NICOLAS WAS A SAINT.

SURE, WE'VE CHANGED IT.

YOU CAN ALSO WORSHIP

JESUS.

FOR YOUR KIDS, YOU TELL

THEM -- I TRIED TO TELL MY

SON THAT SANTA WAS A MYTH,

AND THEY WOULDN'T BUY IT.

I SAID THERE WERE A BUNCH

OF ALL GUYS ON THE

STREETS --

Wendy: AND THEY

WOULDN'T BY IT?

Pat: I SAID JESUS IS

REAL AND SANTA IS MAKE

BELIEVE.

ALL OF THE REINDEER AND

ALL OF THAT STUFF -- AND

JESUS IS REAL.

Wendy: DEAR PAT, "MY

HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN

MARRIED FOR 34 YEARS AND

HAVE TWO GROWN SONS AND A

NEW GRANDDAUGHTER.

I'VE BEEN A CHRISTIAN FOR

THE LAST 17 YEARS, BUT HE

IS NOT.

A YEAR AGO, AFTER MUCH

BADGERING FROM HIM, I TOLD

HIM OF AN AFFAIR I HAD

EIGHT YEARS INTO OUR

MARRIAGE.

AND HE HAD A COUPLE OF

ONE-NIGHT STANDS.

THINGS ARE SLOWLY GETTING

BETTER BETWEEN US, BUT HE

STILL VERBALLY ABUSES ME,

ESPECIALLY AFTER HE DRINKS

TOO MUCH.

I REGRET THE AFFAIR FROM

MY CORE.

I BELIEVE THE LOVE IS GONE

FROM OUR MARRIAGE.

WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE?"

Pat: MY ADVICE IS

SOMETHING YOU ALREADY HAVE

DONE.

I THINK WHAT YOU'VE DONE

IS UNDER THE BLOOD OF

JESUS CHRIST.

IT IS YOUR SECRET.

TO TELL A SPOUSE, LOOK, I

HAD AN AFFAIR WHEN WE WERE

DATING, EIGHT YEARS AGO,

10 YEARS AGO, 15 YEARS

AGO --

Wendy: WELL, THEY

WERE MARRIED.

Pat: THEY WERE

MARRIED.

WHO CARES.

YOU DID IT.

YOU COMMITTED ADULTERY.

YOU REPENTED AND YOU'RE

SORRY.

THAT'S BETWEEN YOU AND THE

LORD.

SOMETIMES IT IS IMPORTANT

TO BRING THESE THINGS OUT,

BUT IN YOUR CASE, IT HAS

RUINED YOUR MARRIAGE.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

YOU NEED MARRIAGE

COUNSELLING IN THE WORST

POSSIBLE WAY.

IT MAY BE -- YOU BOTH HAVE

GROUNDS BECAUSE HE HAS

BEEN CHEATING ON YOU --

YOU BOTH HAVE GROUNDS TO

DIVORCE IF YOU WANT IT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO

SAY ACCEPT IT IS A TRAGIC

SITUATION.

WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS,

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

AND HUMAN BEINGS HAVE

FAILINGS.

WE HAVE APPETITES FOR FOOD

AND DRINK AND SEXUAL

ACTIVITY.

UNFORTUNATELY, SOME PEOPLE

YIELD INTO THOSE A LOT

FASTER THAN OTHERS.

GOD IS WILLING TO FORGIVE

IF YOU WILL RESPENT AND

COME TREPENT ANDCOME TO HIM.

AND WE SHOULD BE WILLING

TO FORGIVE OTHERS.

YOU REMEMBER THAT SCARLETT

LETTER --

Wendy: YES.

Pat: THIS WOMAN

COMMITTED ONE ACT OF

ADULTERY, AND THEY MADE

HER GO AROUND WITH A BIG

"A" ON HER DRESS FOR THE

REST OF HER TIME IN THAT

COLONY.

THAT WAS JUST AWFUL.

Wendy: HORRIBLE.

Pat: WE FORGIVE THESE

THINGS.

GOD IS A GOD OF

FORGIVENESS, BUT DON'T

KEEP DOING THE SAME STUFF.

Wendy: AMEN.

LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, SINCE THE

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STATE

OF ISRAEL, MILLIONS OF

JEWS HAVE MOVED THERE,

LIKE ALAN AND HANNAH

WAGNER AND THEIR FIVE

CHILDREN.

AFTER THE WAGNERS MOVED TO

THE UNITED STATES, THEY

FOUND IT HARD TO MAKE A

LIVING IN THEIR NEW HOME

UNTIL THEY OPENED THEIR

DOOR TO CBN ISRAEL.

Reporter: ALAN AND

HANNAH ARE MESSIANIC JEWS,

WHO IMMIGRATED TO

JERUSALEM FROM THE UNITED

STATES WIN THEIR CHILDREN.

>WITH THERE

CHILDREN.

THEY TRIED TO START A

CLEANING BUSINESS, LIKE

THE ONE THEY HAD IN

AMERICA, BUT SOON WOUND UP

IN DEBT.

IN THE BEGINNING, I

THOUGHT IT WILL BE LIKE IN

THE STATES.

BUT HERE IT IS DIFFICULT

BECAUSE THE MONEY THAT I

MAKE IS NOT ENOUGH.

IT WAS JUST A LOT OF

STRESS IN ADAPTING TO THE

CULTURE, TO THE COUNTRY.

IT WAS A LOT OF MIXED

EMOTIONS.

Reporter: THE WAGNERS

KEPT WORKING AND BELIEVING

GOD WOULD HELP THEM, BUT

THERE WERE DAYS WHEN THEY

STRUGGLED TO GET BY.

THERE WERE A FEW TIMES

THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH

FOR THE FOOD OR TO COVER

OUR BILLS.

SOMETIMES MY WIFE SAYS,

WE DON'T HAVE NOTHING TO

EAT.

SO THAT WAS VERY HARD FOR

ME.

Reporter: THAT'S WHEN

A FRIEND FROM THEIR

MESSIANIC CONGREGATION

TOLD THEM ABOUT CBN

ISRAEL.

FIRST, WE MADE SURE THE

FAMILY HAD ENOUGH FOOD TO

MAKE IT THROUGH THIS TOUGH

TIME.

AND THEN WE MET WITH THE

WAGNERS, AND TAUGHT THEM

HOW TO MANAGE THEIR

BUSINESS BETTERMENT WE BETTER.

WE EVEN GOT THEM A

PROFESSIONAL FLOOR

POLISHER SO THEY COULD DO

BETTER JOBS.

I USED THE MACHINE AND

I MADE MONEY.

E WE CAWE CAN DO BETTER AND WE

CAN GIVE THE TESTIMONY TO

THE OTHERS.

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO

CBN AND THIS MINISTRY.

THEY HAVE BLESSED US SO

MUCH.

MY PRAYER IS YOU WILL

RECEIVE 100 TIMES WHAT YOU

POURED INTO US.

AND THAT THE GOD OF

ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB

WILL BLESS YOU.

AMEN.

Wendy: THE BIBLE SAYS

THOSE WHO BLESS ISRAEL

SHALL BE BLESSED.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET

IN ON THAT BLESSING AND SO

MUCH MORE, ALL YOU SLTO DO HAVE TO

DO IS GO TO YOUR PHONE AND

SAY, YES, I WANT TO JOIN

"THE 700 CLUB."

IT IS JUST $20 A MONTH, 65

CENTS A DAY.

WHEN YOU JOIN THE "700

CLUB" TODAY, WE WANT TO

SEND YOU PAT'S NEW

RECORDING OF THE GOSPEL OF

JOHN.

IT IS A READING OF THE

ENTIRE BOOK OF JOHN, THAT

PAT WENT INTO THE STUDIO

AND DID.

YOU CAN PUT THIS IN YOUR

CAR AND LISTEN TO IT WHILE

ON YOUR WAY TO WORK OR THE

WAY HOME FROM WORK TO

DESTRESS.

SHIRLEY WROTE IN, "THANK

YOU "THE 700 CLUB" FOR THE

BEAUTIFUL GOSPEL OF JOHN

C.D.

IT IS JUST LOVELY.

WITH THE BACKGROUND MUSIC

AND PAT'S READING OF THE

GOSPEL, IT MAKES THE

SCRIPTURES TRULY COME TO

LIFE.

IN THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE

OF TRAFFIC, THIS BRINGS

LIFE AND FRESH AIR."

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN,

SHIRLEY.

THANKS FOR LETTING US KNOW

IT WAS A BLESSING TO YOU.

Pat: UP NEXT, LADIES

AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE A

RABBI WHO IS TAKING A

STAND TO BRIDGE INTERFAITH

BOUNDARIES.

HE JOINS US LIVE WHEN WE

COME BACK.

Pat: WELCOME BACK.

YOU'RE WATCHING "THE 700

CLUB."

THE SIMON WEISSTHAL CENTER

CONFRONTS ANTI-SEMITISM,

HATE AND TERRORISM.

ITS DIRECTOR OF INTERFAITH

AFFAIRS IS THE RABBI WHO

IS WELL-KNOWN FOR

ENCOURAGING DIALOGUE

BETWEEN CHRISTIANS AND

JEWS.

TAKE A LOOK.

Reporter: RABBI

YITZHAK RABINSTEIN HAS

NEVER BEEN ONE NOT TO

STAND UP.

HE TEACHES OTHERS THAT

TALKING ABOUT RELIGION

HELPS PEOPLE FROM ALL

BELIEF SYSTEMS.

HE SHARES HOW PEOPLE OF

DIFFERENT FAITHS CAN CROSS

BOUNDARIES AND WORK

TOGETHER.

Pat: WELL, WELCOME TO

"THE 70"THE 700 CLUB," RABBI.

RABBI, ONE OF TH WHAT ARE THE THINGS

CHRISTIANS CAN DO IN THIS

DAY AND AGE TO HELP THE

JEWISH PEOPLE?

PAT, IT IS SUCH A

THRILL TO BE HERE.

CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN, AND

ARE TODAY, ARE THE ONLY

RELIABLE ALLY OUTSIDE OF

THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF

OURS.

THERE IS A WAR GOING

AGAINST THAT STATE, AND WE

NEED ALL OF THE HELP WE

CAN GET.

I'M SO GRATEFUL TO YOU AND

TO CHRISTIANS AROUND THE

WORLD.

SOME OF THAT PERCENT IS

SHOWING SOME SIGNS OF

EROSION REALLY BECAUSE OF

CHRISTIAN ENTHUSIASM.

CHRISTIANS, FOR DECADES,

SAID WE KNOW THAT GOD

WANTS US TO SUPPORT THE

STATE OF ISRAEL.

THAT'S ALL WE NEED TO

KNOW.

SO THAT LEFT THEM

VULNERABLE TO PEOPLE WHO

CAME UP WITH EMOTIONAL

ARGUMENTS, YOU'RE KILLING

US IN THE NAME OF

CHRISTIANITY.

OR DON'T YOU REALIZE HOW

OPPRESSIVE THAT STATE IS?

WITHOUT ANY KIND OF

CONSIDERATION OF ROCKETS

RAINING DOWN ON CITIZENS,

AND THE FACT THAT IT

WASN'T SETTLEMENTS THAT

STARTED THE AGITATION

AGAINST THE STATE OF

ISRAEL.

IT GOES BACK DECADES AND

DECADES BEFORE.

WE NEED CHRISTIANS TO KEEP

UP THEIR FAITH IN THE

STATE OF ISRAEL, THE

PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, BUT ALSO

TO ACQUAINT THEMSELVES

WITH THE FACTS.

Pat: THERE IS SO MUCH

ON THE COLLEGE CAMPUSES.

THERE IS A VIRAL OF

ANTI-SEMITISM GROWING THAT

IS SHOCKING TO ME.

BUT THE IDEA OF DIVESTING

ANY INVESTMENTS THAT THEY

HAVE IN ISRAEL AND SO

FORTH, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW

WHAT THEY'RE TALKING

ABOUT.

ARE YOU GETTING THE WORD A

AS TO WHAT ACTUALLY GOES

ON IN THE SO-CALLED WEST

BANK?

WELL, WE DO HAVE THE

WORD OF WHAT IS GOING ON

IN THE WEST BANK.

THE WEST BANK IS CERTAINLY

ONE OF THE ISSUES.

Pat: ARE YOU GETTING

IT OUT?

IS IT BEING PUBLICIZED AND

THE COLLEGE CAMPUSES?

IT IS VERY HARD TO DO

IT ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES

BECAUSE COLLEGE CAMPUSES

HAVE LEANED TOWARDS THE

LEFT FOR DECADES.

NOT EVERY PLACE IS REGENT

UNIVERSITY.

AND IT IS AN OPPRESSIVE

ATMOSPHERE FOR YOUNG JEWS.

SO YOUNG JEWS ARE NOT

REALLY SUPER CHARGED WITH

THE LOVE OF ISRAEL ARE

STARTING TO GO IN THE

OTHER DIRECTION.

IT BECOMES A LIABILITY ON

CAMPUS TO SHOW YOU HAVE

ANYTHING TO DO WITH

ISRAEL.

Pat: IT WAS THE

FOREFRONT OF HUNTING DOWN

NAZIS WHO WERE INVOLVED IN

THE HOLOCAUST, IS THAT NOT

TRUE?

WE DID THAT DECADES

AGO.

IT IS NOT THAT WE RAN OUT

OF ANTI-SEMITES.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT

HAPPENED IN THAT TIME IS

THAT WE REALIZED WE'VE

BEEN TELLING OUR CHILDREN,

OR GRANDCHILDREN, THAT THE

WORLD WAS SILENT AND DID

NOTHING WHEN SIX MILLION

WERE KILLED.

NOW WE LOOK AT THE WORLD

AND WE SEE CHRISTIANS AS

THE MOST ENDANGERED

MINORITY ALL AROUND THE

WORLD.

IN A HUGE SWATH OF

TERRITORY GOING FROM

WESTERN AFRICA ALL THE WAY

AROUND THROUGH AFGHANISTAN

AND IRAN.

CHRISTIANS CAN WAKE UP ON

ANY GIVEN DAY AND NOT KNOW

WHETHER THEY WILL RETURN

HOME OR WHETHER THEY WILL

BE KILLED THAT DAY,

WHETHER THEY THERE BE

PERSECUTED.

CHRISTIANS HAVE, IN

EFFECT, BECOME THE NEW

JEWS.

Pat: THE FACT THAT

THE JEWISH PEOPLE ARE

STANDING WITH THE

CHRISTIANS IS A BIG PLUS.

YOU'RE RIGHT, IT IS ALMOST

AS IF NOBODY CARES ABOUT

THE FACT THAT CHRISTIANS

ARE BEING PERS CUTEED. PERSECUTED.

THERE HAS BEEN A

RELUCTANCE OF CHRISTIANS

TO REALLY GET OUT THERE

AND SHOW THEIR

DETERMINATION IN STATE

CAPITALS AND NATIONAL

CAPITALS.

YOU SHUTTER TO THINK OF

HOW MANY LIVES HAVE BEEN

LOST FOR THE FACT THAT

CHRISTIANS DID NOT HAVE

MASS DEMONSTRATIONS IN

WASHINGTON.

YEARS AGO, WHEN THERE

STILL COULD HAVE BEEN SAFE

ZONES CARVED OUT BEFORE

THE DEATHS OF HUNDREDS OF

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, THAT

WOULD HAVE ALLOWED

CHRISTIANS IN AUTONOMOUS

REGIONS, IN THE NINEVEH

REGION --

Pat: YOU MENTIONED

THOSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN

THERE SINCE THE FIRST

CENTURY, THE EARLY

CHRISTIANS, AND YET

THEY'RE BEING DRIVEN OUT.

THAT WHOLE AREA IS BEING

CLEANSED OF CHRISTIANITY.

IN EGYPT, THE COPTIC TICKS COPTICS ARE

UNDER TERRIBLE PERSECUTION

PERSECUTION.

THE COPTICS HAVE

SUFFERED FOR QUITE A

WHILE.

THEY'RE 10% OF THE

POPULATION.

THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED, FOR

THE MOST PART, TO BUILD

NEW CHURCHES.

THE GOVERNMENT OF

EL-SISI HAS TAKEN SOME

POSITIVE STEPS, BUT NOT

ENOUGH.

ESPECIALLY IN RURAL

COMMUNITIES OR AWAY FROM

THE CAPITAL.

THE ONLY WAY THAT THE

GOVERNMENT WILL BE

FORTHCOMING WITH THAT IS

IF THERE IS PRESSURE FROM

FRIENDS OF THE COUNTRY,

LIKE THE UNITED STATES.

WE LET OUR LEGISLATORS

KNOW WE ARE CONCERNED FOR

THOSE WHO ARE CLOSEST TO

US.

Pat: I THINK IF THERE

IS A LINKING TOGETHER

BETWEEN THE JEWISH

ACTIVISTS -- IF I CAN USE

THAT TERM -- AND

EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS, I

THINK WE CAN HAVE A VERY

POWERFUL VOICE.

THIS HAS CHANGED IN THE

LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

IN THE GREAT INTERFAITH

EXPLOSION SINCE THE

HOLOCAUST, THERE WERE

REALLY TWO GROUPS THAT SAT

ON THE SIDELINES:

EVANGELICALS AND ORTHODOX

JEWS.

FOR PRETTY MUCH THE SAME

REASONS.

THEY WEREN'T REALLY SO

COMFORTABLE WITH KUMBAYA

MOMENTS.

AND LET'S SEE HOW WE CAN

COME TO A DIFFERENT

UNDERSTANDING.

THAT IS CHANGING.

WE REALIZE THAT THE REAL

CHALLENGE TO AMERICA IS

THE GODLESSNESS AROUND US,

AND WE HAVE TO LINK HANDS

AND TRY TO CHANGE THAT.

Pat: RABBI, WE'VE GOT

TO GO.

THANK YOU, LADIES AND

GENTLEMEN FOR BEING WITH

US TODAY.

YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.

WE'VE GOT AN EXCITING

PROGRAM TOMORROW.

SO WE'LL BE HERE WITH YOU.

FROM ALL OF US, THIS IS

PAT ROBERTSON AND WE'LL

SUSEE YOU TOMORROW.

BYE-BYE.
