Gordon: THROWN FROM
Gordon: THROWN FROM
HIS CAR...
THERE WAS A LITTLE
ACCIDENT UP AN THE FARM.
Gordon: ...A MAN
CLINGS TO LIFE.
WE NEED TO PRAY AND
TURN IT OVER TO GOD.
Gordon: WHILE HIS
PARENTS CLING TO PRAYER.
MY SON WAS DYING.
HE MAY NEVER WAKE UP.
IF HE WAKES UP, HE MIGHT
NOT HAVE ANY BRAIN
FUNCTION.
Gordon: SEE HOW HE
DEFIES THE ODDS ON TODAY'S
"700 CLUB."
GOOD MORNING, AND WELCOME
TO THE SHOW.
MIRACULOUS IS THE ONLY WAY
TO DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENED
TO 30-YEAR-OLD GRAYSON
KIRBY.
HIS DOCTORS SAID IT WAS A
MIRACLE, AND SO DID THE
LOCAL NEWS MEDIA.
EVEN TV STAR AND COMEDIAN
STEVE HARVEY, AND HOW
YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE WHY.
Reporter: GROWING UP
ON A FARM, GRAYSON WAYNE
KIRBY HAS ALWAYS FELT AT
HOME ON A TRACTOR, BUT HE
PREFERS THINGS THAT MOVE A
BIT FASTER.
I ALWAYS HAD TO HAVE
SOMETHING WITH A MOTOR,
SOMETHING OPERATING WITH
WHEELS ON IT.
IF IT MOVES, HE WANTS TO
BE ON IT.
HE WANTS TO PUSH IT TO THE
LIMIT.
Reporter: THE NIGHT
OF JUNE 7th, 2014, 30
IARD GRAYSON WAS RIDING
WITH A FRIEND, AND HE HIT
A RUT AND FLIPPED OVER,
THROWING GRAYSON OUT OF
THE CAR.
HIS FRIEND ESCAPED WITH
MINOR INJURIES AND CALLED
GRAYSON'S PARENTS, BUT HE
DIDN'T GIVE THEM MUCH TO
GO ON.
HE SAID, THERE HAS BEEN
A LITTLE ACCIDENT UP AT
THE FARM, AND GRAYSON HAS
BEEN HURT.
AND HE HAS BEEN
MEDIFLIGHTED TO THE
HOSPITAL.
AS WE WERE GETTING READY
TO GET INTO THE CAR, THERE
WAS A CHAIR, AND AS SHE
WAS GETTING READY TO PASS,
I GRABBED HER AND SAT HER
DOWN.
I SAID, WE NEED TO PRAY
AND TURN IT OVER TO GOD
BEFORE WE HIT THE ROAD.
Reporter: AT THE
HOSPITAL, THEY LEARNED
THAT GRAYSON HAD SUFFERED
MAJOR BRAIN TRAUMA, AND HE
HAD BROKEN BONES AND TWO
COLLAPSED LUNGS.
DOCTORS GAVE HIM LESS THAN
A 2% CHANCE OF LIVING.
TO SEE MY SON LAYING
THERE, SO SWOLLEN, ALMOST
UNRECOGNIZABLE, TUBES IN
ALL PARTS OF HIS BODY, I
WAS IN SHOCK.
AS A MOTHER, YOU WANT TO
FIX IT.
I COULDN'T FIX IT.
I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING.
MY SON WAS DYING.
WE HAD NOWHERE TO GO BUT
TO OUR KNEES AND JUST PRAY
TO GOD.
Reporter: DOCTORS PUT
GRAYSON ON LIFE SUPPORT.
BY THIS TIME, FRIENDS AND
FAMILY WERE COMING TO SHOW
THEIR SUPPORT AND PRAY.
THEY ALSO GOT THE WORD OUT
THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA.
GRAYSON'S OXYGEN LEVELS
STARTED TO IMPROVE.
THE DOCTORS TOOK HIM OFF
LIFE SUPPORT AND PUT HIM
INTO A MEDICALLY INDUCED
COMA.
EVERYBODY WAS HOPEFUL
UNTIL AN M.R.I. SAID HE
HAD SEVERAL STROKES.
THE DOCTOR SAID, IF
GRAYSON EVER WAKES UP, IT
WILL BE CLOSER TO THE TWO
MONTH TIME PERIOD.
AND WE CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT
WILL BE THERE.
AND I REMEMBER ASKING HIM,
YOU MEAN HE COULD BE A
VEGETABLE?
THAT JUST, LIKE,
DEVASTATED US.
WE HAD GOTTEN OUR HOPES UP
TO THIS POINT, THAT HE WAS
IMPROVING, AND NOW WE
LEARNED HE MAY NEVER WAKE
UP.
AND IF HE WAKES UP, HE
MIGHT NOT HAVE ANY BRAIN
FUNCTION.
ONCE AGAIN I PRAYED TO
GOD.
AND I COULD HEAR HIM
SAYING, KAREN, I'VE GOT
THIS.
HAVE I NOT PROVEN MYSELF
TO YOU IN THIS AMOUNT OF
TIME?
I'VE GOT THIS.
IT IS GOING TO BE OKAY.
Reporter: FOUR DAYS
PASSED WITH NO SIGN OF
IMPROVEMENT.
THEN THE WEDNESDAY AFTER
FATHER'S DAY, WAYNE GOT
THE BEST GIFT A FATHER
COULD ASK FOR.
IT STARTED WITH A TEXT
MESSAGE FROM HIS WIFE.
THE TEXT MESSAGE SAID,
GET IN HER QUICK.
HE MOVED.
AND GRAYSON LOOKED AT ME
WHEN I WALKED INTO THE
ROOM.
HE COULDN'T TALK, BUT YOU
COULD READ HIS LIPS, AND
HE MOUTHED THE WORDS, "I
LOVE YOU."
AND IT WAS JUST THE MOST
OVERWHELMING THING.
I COULD FEEL MY KNEES
GETTING WEAK.
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO
HAVE TO GO SIT DOWN.
I LOOKED BACK AT HIM, AND
I SAID, I LOVE YOU, TOO,
SON.
AFTER GRAYSON WOKE UP,
WE REALIZED THAT GOD WAS
IN CELLULAR.
CONTROL.
GOD WAS IN CONTROL.
AND IT WAS GOING TO BE HIS
WILL THAT WAS GOING TO BE
DONE.
Reporter: WITHIN
HOURS, GRAYSON MOUTHED THE
ANSWERS TO EVERY QUESTION
HOSPITAL STAFF ASKED.
AND THE DOCTORS WOULD
COME INTO THE ROOM, AND
THEY WOULD LOOK.
AND THEY WOULD SAY, I
WASN'T EXPECTING THIS.
AND WE'RE SITTING OVER
THERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE ROOM SAYING, WE DID.
WE DID.
THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN
PRAYING FOR.
Reporter: GRAYSON WAS
SOON ON HIS WAY TO
RECOVERY.
THINGS KEPT GETTING
BETTER, PROGRESSING EVERY
DAY.
I WENT FROM NOT BEING ABLE
TO STAND, TO BEING ABLE TO
STAND FOR THREE SECONDS,
TO WALKING WITH CRUTCHES.
Reporter: AFTER TWO
MONTHS OF REHAB, GRAYSON
WAS CLEARED TO GO HOME.
HE IS SO MUCH BACK TO
HIS NORMAL SELF, AND IT
WARMS MY HEART EVERY
DIGITAL AND I THANK GOD
CONSTANTLY, CONSTANTLY.
THANK YOU, GOD.
THANK YOU FOR SPARING MY
SON.
Reporter: TODAY
GRAYSON SHOWS NO EVIDENCE
OF EVER HAVING A BRAIN
INJURY AND HE IS BACK TO
WORK ON HIS FAMILY'S FARM.
HE STILL HAS SCARS AND
WEARS A BRACE ON HIS LEFT
LEG, BUT THOSE ARE JUST
REMINDERS OF GOD'S GRACE
AND MERCY.
IT SPEAKS IN VOLUMES AS
TO HOW MUCH HE LOVES ME.
AND HOW MUCH HE CARES FOR
ME.
HE ANSWERS PRAYER.
HE HEARS OUR PRAYERS.
AND IF WE BELIEVE IN WHAT
WE'RE PRAYING FOR, AND WE
BELIEVE IN HIM, HE WILL
ANSWER IT.
FOR EVERY SITUATION
THAT YOU'RE CONFRONTED
WITH, GOD IS IN CONTROL OF
IT.
HE'S GOT IT.
Gordon: WHATEVER
SITUATION YOU'RE FACED
WITH, WHATEVER IT IS, GOD
HAS IT.
AND THAT WAS HIS WORD
CONTINUALLY TO THOSE
PARENTS, I'VE GOT THIS.
I'VE GOT THIS.
I'VE GOT THIS.
LET HIM SAY THE SAME
THINGS TO YOU.
SO OFTEN WHEN WE RUN INTO
SITUATIONS THAT WE CAN'T
FIX, WE CAN'T HANDLE, WE
GET INTO DISPAIR.
WE START TO THINK IT'S
HOPELESS.
WE START BELIEVING THAT
IT'S HOPELESS INSTEAD OF
BELIEVING IN THE ONE THAT
GOD SENT, WHO SAID, I'LL
TAKE CARE OF THIS.
JESUS IS THE ANSWER TO
EVERY HUMAN NEED.
LATER IN THIS PROGRAM,
WE'RE GOING TO BE PRAYING
FOR YOU.
RIGHT NOW I JUST WANT YOU
TO BUILD YOUR FAITH.
AND HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
HOW DO YOU GET THE FAITH
IT TAKES TO BELIEVE FOR
HEALING?
BECAUSE SO OFTEN WHEN
WE'RE FACED WITH THIS
SITUATIONS, WE START
GOING, WHAT DID I DO WRONG
THAT GOT ME INTO THIS
TROUBLE?
WE START TO THINK, I'M
GOING TO HAVE TO BARGAIN
WITH GOD TO GET HIM TO
HAVE MERCY ON ME.
I'VE GOT TO TRADE
SOMETHING OR MAKE SOME
COVENANT WITH HIM -- I'VE
GOT TO DO ALL THOSE
THINGS.
AND WE IGNORE THE COVENANT
THAT JESUS MADE WITH US.
AND IT'S THE COVENANT IN
HIS BLOOD.
HOW DO YOU GET FAITH?
FIRST AND FOREMOST YOU
LOOK TO JESUS.
HE IS THE AUTHOR AND THE
FINISHER OF YOUR FAITH.
THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE
SAYS.
SO WHEN WE LOOK TO HIM, WE
GET ALL OF THE FAITH THAT
WE NEED.
IT IS NOT SOMETHING WE
DRUM UP FROM WITHIN
OURSELVES.
PEOPLE SAY, YOU KNOW, HOW
DO YOU GET THE FAITH TO
PRAY?
AND HOW DO YOU BELIEVE IN
MIRACLES AND ALL OF THAT?
I LIKE TO RESPOND TO THEM
IS, I DON'T HAVE ANY
FAITH.
WHAT I KNOW ARE SOME
REALLY GREAT FACTS.
IT IS A FACT THAT JESUS
CAME AND HE DWELLED ON THE
LIFE.
HE WAS BORN TO A VIRGIN
AND HE LIVED A SINLESS
LIFE.
THAT'S A MIRACLE.
THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
HE LIVED A SINLESS LIFE.
AND THEN VOLUNTARILY HE
GAVE HIMSELF UP AS A
SACRIFICE FOR YOU AND ME,
SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO
SACRIFICE.
THE BARGAIN HAS ALREADY
BEEN MADE.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE DO.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS
ALREADY BEEN DONE.
AND IT DOESN'T STOP THERE
AT THE CROSS.
THREE DAYS LATER, HE ROSE
AGAIN FROM THE GRAVE, AND
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT SAME
RESURRECTION POWER IS
WITHIN US.
THOSE ARE GREAT FACTS.
SO LET'S EXAMINE THOSE
FACTS.
AND LET'S LOOK TO MARK 11,
WHEN JESUS TELLS HIS
DISCIPLES, HOW DO YOU GET
MIRACLES.
LET'S SET THE STAGE FOR
THIS.
THE DAY BEFORE HE HAD SEEN
A FIG TREE, AND IT WAS A
SYMBOL FOR WHAT HE WAS
ABOUT TO FIND IN THE
TEMPLE.
AND HE DIDN'T FIND ANY
FRUIT ON THE FIG TREE.
HE WENT TO IT, HE WAS
HUNGRY, AND HE WANTED TO
EAT SOME FRUIT, AND THERE
WASN'T ANY FRUIT.
AND HE SAID, NO ONE EAT OF
YOU AGAIN.
THE NEXT DAY THEY'RE
PASSING BY THE SAME TREE,
AND THE DISCIPLES ARE
AMAZED BECAUSE IT IS
WITHERED FROM THE ROOT.
IT HAS DRIED UP OVERNIGHT.
AND JESUS SAYS, HERE IS
THE KEY TO MIRACLES: FIRST
AND FOREMOST, HAVE FAITH
IN GOD.
AND THEN IF YOU BELIEVE IN
YOUR HEART -- IF YOU HAVE
THE FAITH OF A MUSTARD
SEED, AND YOU BELIEVE AND
YOU DO NOT DOUBT, THEN YOU
CAN SAY TO THIS MOUNTAIN,
BE PICKED UP AND CAST INTO
THE SEA AND IT WILL BE
DONE.
SO LET'S HAVE FAITH IN
GOD.
LET'S NOT HAVE FAITH IN
OUR PRAYER.
LET'S NOT HAVE FAITH IN
WHATEVER BEHAVIOR WE DID
BEFORE THE HORRIBLE THING
HAPPENED.
LET'S NOT HAVE FAITH THAT
EITHER WE'RE SO GOOD THAT
GOD WANTS TO SOMEHOW PAY
ATTENTION TO US, OR HAVE
FAITH THAT WE'RE SO BAD
THAT GOD DOESN'T WANT TO
HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH
US.
EITHER ONE OF THOSE
POSITIONS IS WRONG.
IT SAYS THE COVENANT OF
JESUS DOESN'T EXIST FOR
ME, AND THAT'S NOT TRUE.
THE FACT IS THAT HIS
COVENANT IS FOR YOU.
SO HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
AND DON'T DOUBT.
BELIEVE THAT HE WHO HAS
PROMISED, IS ABLE.
JUST AMEN GOD.
WHEN GOD AS, I'VE GOT
THIS, YOU SAY, AMEN.
YOU'VE GOT IT.
AND THEN WE GET TO PRAY.
AND JESUS HAS GIVEN US A
PATTERN OF PRAYER: THIGH THY
WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS
IT IS IN HEAVEN.
IN HEAVEN, IS ANYBODY IN
TROUBLE?
IS ANYBODY SICK?
ANYBODY POOR?
ANYBODY LONELY?
NO.
THAT'S NOT GOD'S WILL.
WE SEE IT IN HEAVEN.
THAT'S GOD'S WILL.
AND SO WE GET TO COMMAND
GOD'S WILL TO BE DONE ON
EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING
THAT IN JUST A FEW
MOMENTS.
WE'RE GOING TO BE PRAYING
FOR YOU.

> WELL, UP NEXT, TWIN
BABY GIRLS WITH IDENTICAL
CANCERS.
THEIR LIVES WERE
MASSIVELY ENLARGED, AND
THEIR LIVES WERE
COMPLETELY FILLED WITH
TUMOR CELLS.
IT WAS THROUGHOUT THEIR
WHOLE LIVERS.
Gordon: WATCH THESE
TWINS RECEIVE A DOUBLE
MIRACLE.
Gordon: WHEN ALYSSA
AND MICHAEL DUNN LEARNED
THEIR TWO-MONTH-OLD BABY
GIRL HAD A RARE FORM OF
CANCER, THEY WERE
DEVASTATED.
BUT THERE ARE NO WORDS TO
DESCRIBE THEIR REACTION
WHEN THEY LEARNED THAT
THEIR BABY'S TWIN SISTER
HAD THE IDENTICAL CANCER.
Reporter: ON JULY 4,
2007, AT 4 a.m., MIX OF
ALYSSAAND MICHAEL WELCOMED THEIR
TWIN GIRLS INTO THEIR
FAMILY.
THEY WERE PERFECT-SIZED
LITTLE GIRLS.
THEY SURPRISED US AND CAME
ON THE FOURTH OF JULY.
WE CALL THEM OUR
FIRECRACKER BABIES.
Reporter: DURING
THEIR ROUTINE CHECKUP THE
FOLLOWING SEPTEMBER, THEIR
PEDIATRICIAN NOTICED
MADELINE'S STOMACH WAS
SWOLLEN.
YOU CAN SENSE A TONE
CHANGE AFTER HE STARTED TO
PHYSICALLY EXAMINE HER.
YOU COULD SEE HIS FACE
CHANGE.
I THINK WE BOTH KNEW THIS
WASN'T GOING TO BE A
NORMAL CHECKUP.
Reporter: AN
ULTRASOUND GAVE HIM REASON
TO SUSPECT SHE HAD CANCER.
HE SENT THEM TO A LOCAL
HOSPITAL.
ON THE DRIVE TO THE
HOSPITAL, WE FEARED THE
WORST, BUT WE HOPED AND
PRAYED FOR THE BEST.
WE HOPED IT WOULD BE
ROUTINE, BUT DEEP DOWN
INSIDE YOU WORRY -- WE
WORRIED IT COULD BE WORST.
THEY SAID, WHEN WE
FIRST GOT THERE, THERE WAS
NO WAY IT WAS CANCER.
SHE WAS TOO YOUNG.
BUT THE DOCTOR CAME IN
SHAKING.
Reporter: MADELINE
HAD STAGE FOUR
NEUROBLASTOMA, A RARE FORM
OF MALIGNANT CANCER FOUND
IN INFANTS AND YOUNG
CHILDREN.
ALYSSA AND MICHAEL TOOK
HER TO THE MICHIGAN
DETROIT MEDICAL CENTER,
WHERE THEY MET A DOCTOR.
AS THEY RAN TESTS ON
MADELINE, THE TWIN CAUGHT
HIS ATTENTION.
MY COLLEAGUE AND I HAD
A FEELING SOMETHING WALK
NOT RIGHT.
WE ASKED TO SEE ISABELLA'S
ABDOMEN, AND WE FOUND SHE
HAD THE EXACT SAME TUMOR
THAT MADELINE HAD.
Reporter: THE DOCTOR
SAYS SURGERY COULD LEAD TO
MAJOR COMPLICATIONS, SO
THE BEST FORM OF TREATMENT
WOULD BE CHEMOTHERAPY.
BUT IT COULD LEAD TO
SCARRING, DEVELOPMENTAL
DELAYS, OR WORSE, DEATH.
IDENTICAL TWINS DEVELOPING
THE SAME FORM OF CANCER AT
THE SAME TIME IT WAS
EXTREMELY RARE.
AND THE CHANCE THEY WOULD
SURVIVE WAS UNCERTAIN.
THE M.R.I.s SHOWED
THE LIVERS WERE MASSIVELY
ENLARGED, AND THEY WERE
FILLED WITH TUMOR CELLS.
NOT JUST ONE PART, BUT IT
JUST WAS THROUGHOUT THEIR
WHOLE LIVERS.
Reporter: THE INFANTS
WERE SEPARATED TO BEGIN
THE FIRST OF FOUR
TREATMENTS.
MEANWHILE, THE DUNN'S
FAMILY AND FRIENDS PRAYED
FOR A MIRACLE.
THINGS STARTED LOOKING
GRIM PRETTY QUICKLY.
THEY GOT SICK REALLY
QUICK.
AND THEY WERE IN SO MUCH
PAIN.
YOU COULDN'T TOUCH THEIR
SKIN.
IT LOOKED LIKE IT WOULD
CRACK.
SOME DAYS WERE VERY,
VERY HARD.
WE WOULD GET A LOT OF
NEGATIVE NEWS.
WHEN YOU'RE WALKING
THROUGH THAT VALLEY, YOU
REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW
THINGS ARE GOING TO TURN
OUT.
AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS
TRUST IN THE LORD AND PUT
YOUR FAITH IN HIM.
Reporter: THEY SAW A
SPARK OF HOPE WHEN THE
GIRLS WERE REUNITED FOR
THE SECOND ROUND OF
THERAPY.
THEY LET US PUT THEM
TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST
TIME, AND THEY RECOGNIZED
EACH OTHER.
IT WAS HUGE.
THEY STARTED KICKING AND
SMILING, AND THEY HADN'T
DONE THAT IN A MONTH.
AND I THINK IT WAS A
TURNING POINT.
IT REALLY GAVE US HOPE TO
THINK THAT MAYBE WE CAN
GET THROUGH THIS.
MAYBE THE LORD WILL CHOOSE
TO HEAL THEM.
Reporter: BY OCTOBER,
THE GIRLS WERE WELL ENOUGH
TO GO HOME AND FINISH
THEIR TREATMENTS.
AFTERWARDS, THEY WENT FOR
AN M.R.I. TO DETERMINE IF
THE THERAPY HAD WORKED.
TWO WEEKS BEFORE
CHRISTMAS, THEY GOT THE
RESULTS.
IT WAS THE 14th OF
DECEMBER, AND THE
CHRISTMAS TREE WAS LIT.
WE HAD OUR PARENTS OVER.
AND WE WERE CELEBRATING
JUST THE SEASON.
AND WE GOT THAT PHONE CALL
THAT THEY WERE CONSIDERED
NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE.
I REMEMBER HANGING UP THE
PHONE AND JUST FEELING
LIKE, REALLY?
WOW!
WE MADE IT.
OUR GIRLS WERE HEALED.
THE LORD CHOSE TO HEAL
THEM.
Reporter: THIS YEAR
THE GIRLS WILL BE
CELEBRATING ANOTHER
BIRTHDAY CANCER-FREE.
IT'S A PRETTY BIG
CELEBRATION.
AND WE TELL THEM DAD GIVES
THEM FIREWORKS FOR THEIR
BIRTHDAY EVERY YEAR TO
CELEBRATE THEIR SPARKLE IN
OUR LIFE.
EVERY YEAR IS A
CELEBRATION FOR US.
WE REALIZE IT'S A MIRACLE.
I THINK IN A SITUATION
LIKE THIS, WHICH
POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE
BEEN A TRAGEDY, NOT ONLY
HAVE ONE CHILD WITH
CANCER, BUT TWO CHILDREN
DEVELOP CANCER, AND THE
FACT THEY BOTH RECOVERED
IS A TRUE MIRACLE.
AND IT'S JUST REALLY
GRATIFYING TO SEE THINGS
LIKE THIS HAPPEN.
THE TWINS' HEALING WAS
DEFINITELY A GIFT FROM
GOD.
HE BLESSED THEM AND CHOSE
THEM TO BE HEALED THROUGH
THE HANDS OF THE DOCTORS
AND THE NURSES.
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY IT
CAN BE EXPLAINED.
THEY WERE GIVEN A SMALL
CHANCE FOR SURVIVAL.
AND FOR THEM TO COME
THROUGH AND BE AS WELL AS
THEY ARE TODAY, IT WAS A
MIRACLE.
THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY
MIND IT WAS A MIRACLE.
Gordon: I LOVE HOW HE
DESCRIBED IT, IT'S A TRUE
GIFT OF GOD.
AND THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE
SAYS.
WHEN THE APOSTLE PAUL WAS
TALKING ABOUT THE
SPIRITUAL GIFTS, HE TALKS
ABOUT GIFTS, PLURAL --
GIFTS OF HEALING.
THERE IS AN ANOINTING FOR
HEALING, BUT THERE IS A
GIFT OF HEALING THAT COMES
TO YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE
GOD'S CHILD.
GOD LOVES THOSE TWO
BABIES, THOSE TWO LITTLE,
WONDERFUL GIRLS.
HE LOVES THEM INFINITELY.
AND WE CAN DEPEND AND
COUNT ON HIS INFINITE
LOVE.
WE DON'T HAVE TO CONVINCE
HIM.
HE LOVES THEM MORE THAN WE
DO.
AND HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN
YOU'LL EVER KNOW.
YOU CAN NEVER GET TOT END
OF IT.
SO JUST REST IN THAT.
NOW, WE'RE GOING TO PRAY,
BUT WE'VE GOT SOME PRAYER
REQUESTS FROM OUR VIEWERS.
DEBBIE WRITES IN, "I WAS
JUST HEALED OF BREAST
CANCER, BUT NOW IT LOOKS
LIKE I HAVE CANCER IN MY
THROAT.
I BELIEVE I AM HEALTHY AND
WHOLE IN JESUS' NAME.
PLEASE PRAY THIS CLAIM
OVER ME."
AND WE HAVE ROBERT WRITING
IN, "MY DAD, MIKE, WAS
JUST DIAGNOSED WITH
LYMPHOMA.
PLEASE PRAY FOR A TOTAL
MIRACLE HEALING IN HIS
ENTIRE BODY."
AND JASMINE WRITES IN,
"PLEASE PRAY FOR MY AUNT
PENNY.
SHE IS IN THE I.C.U. DUE
TO A STROKE, AND IT
DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.
AND I ALSO ASK FOR PRAYER
FOR MY HUSBAND AND I.
WE REALLY WANT TO HAVE A
BABY AND HAVE BEEN HAVING
SOME DIFFICULTY.
PLEASE PRAY WE WILL SOON
HAVE A HEALTHY, NORMAL,
BEAUTIFUL BABY."
WELL, LET'S JOIN IN
PRAYER.
IF YOU HAVE A NEED IN YOUR
LIFE, PARTICULAR A NEED
FOR HEALING, JUST LAY YOUR
HAND ON THAT AREA OF THE
BODY THAT NEEDS HEALING.
AND WE'LL AGREE.
AND THE BIBLE SAYS IF TWO
OR MORE AGREE TOUCHING
ANYTHING, IT SHALL BE
DONE.
Gordon: SO I'LL AGREE
WITH YOU, AND WE'VE GOT A
GREAT VIEWING AUDIENCE.
AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE A
NEED IN YOUR LIFE, JOIN IN
PRAYER TO PRAY FOR OTHERS.
TO RELEASE GIFTS OF
HEALING.
THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE
SAYS, GIFTS OF HEALING.
LET'S COME TOGETHER, LET'S
AGREE, AND LET'S PRAY.
LORD, WE COME TO YOU RIGHT
NOW AND WE FIRST LIFT UP
DEBBIE AND HER THROAT
CANCER.
WE BIND IT NOW IN JESUS'
NAME.
AND WE SAY, CANCER, BE
GONE FROM HER BODY.
LORD, WE THANK YOU FOR
HEALING DEBBIE OF BREAST
CANCER.
AND NOW WE THANK YOU AGAIN
BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO
COMPLETE THE GOOD WORK
THAT YOU'VE BEGUN IN HER.
SO THOSE CANCER CELLS DRY
UP NOW IN JESUS' NAME.
FOR MIKE WITH LYMPHOMA, WE
PRAY THAT HE BE RELEASED
FROM THIS, AND THE
DIAGNOSIS COMES BACK
CLEAR, THAT THERE BE NO
SIGN OF IT ANYMORE.
IN JESUS' NAME.
AND FOR JASMINE, WE JUST
PRAY OVER HER AND HER
HUSBAND, THAT THEY WOULD
HAVE THE POWER TO GIVE
LIFE.
AND WE JUST SPEAK TO HER
WOMB, BE FRUITFUL AND
MULTIPLY.
GIVE THEM THE POWER TO
CREATE LIFE.
AND WE PRAY FOR THEIR AUNT
PENNY AS WELL.
LORD, REACH DOWN AND TOUCH
HER IN THAT I.C.U.
HEAL HER BRAIN.
LET THERE BE NO MORE
EFFECT FROM THE STROKE.
FOR THOSE WATCHING RIGHT
NOW, LAYING A HAND ON THAT
AREA, WE JUST JOIN IN
AGREEMENT THAT YOUR WILL
WILL BE DONE NOW, IN THEIR
BODIES, AS IT IS IN
HEAVEN.
DO IT, LORD, FOR WE ASK IT
IN JESUS' NAME.
AMEN.
AND AMEN.

> STILL TO COME, A
VIETNAM VET FACES A NEW
FIGHT.
YOU FIGHT FOR PEOPLE
AND COME HOME, AND THE
PEOPLE THAT YOU FIGHT FOR
CAN'T EVEN AFFORD FOOD.
Gordon: MEET THIS
AMERICAN HERE, WHEN WE
COME BACK.
Gordon: IN FORT
WHYTE, FLORIDA, MANY
PEOPLE DEPEND ON JOHNNIE
ALEXANDER.
JOHNNIE IS A WAR VETERAN
AND IS NOW SERVING HIS
LOCAL COMMUNITY.
TAKE A LOOK.
WE LIVE IN A GREAT
COUNTRY.
WE LIVE IN THE MOST
POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD.
I SPENT THREE TOWERS IN
NAM, FIGHTING FOR OUR
FREEDOM.
AND IT SEEMED TO BE A
WASTE.
YOU FIGHT FOR SOMETHING,
AND THEN YOU COME HOME,
AND THE PEOPLE THAT YOU
FIGHT FOR CAN'T EVEN
AFFORD FOOD.
Reporter: JOHNNIE
ALEXANDER LOST HIS LEGS TO
A LANDMINE IN VIETNAM, AND
SPENT TIME IN A PRISONER
OF WAR CAMP.
HE EVENTUALLY RETURNED
HOME TO START HIS LIFE
OVER WITHOUT HIS LEGS AND
HE OPENED A GROCERY STORE.
I WOULD CATCH PEOPLE
STEALING.
LITTLE THINGS, STUFF THAT
DON'T MEAN ANYTHING, LIKE
TUNA FISH OR CRACKERS.
I STARTED TO TALK TO THEM,
AND THEY STARTED TELLING
ME HOW IT WAS ROUGH TO PAY
FOR THEIR MEDICINE AND PAY
FOR FOOD.
AND IF THEY GOT FOOD
STAMPS, THEY ONLY GOT $10
OR $15 WORTH.
Reporter: LATER,
JOHNNIE GAVE UP HIS
GROCERY STORE AND STARTED
A FOOD MINISTRY.
THEY PARTNER WITH CBN'S
"OPERATION BLESSING."
JOHNNIE DRIVES HIS TRUCK
TO THE "OPERATION
BLESSING" WAREHOUSE ONCE A
MONTH, AND LOADS IT WITH
FOOD TO DISTRIBUTE IT IN
FORT WHYTE.
HE IS PASSIONATE ABOUT
GIVING TO THOSE IN NEED
AND ENCOURAGES OTHERS TO
GET INVOLVED.
IN ORDER TO SURVIVE, WE
ONLY MAKE SO MUCH AS IT
IS, AND IT IS JUST A
BLESSING THAT SOMEONE LIKE
JOHNNIE IS OUT THERE TO
HELP PEOPLE LIKE US.
Reporter: THANKS TO
"OPERATION BLESSING" AND
JOHNNIE ALEXANDER, MANY
FAMILIES IN CENTRAL
FLORIDA WILL HAVE FOOD ON
THEIR TABLES TONIGHT.
I WISH THEY COULD PUT
THEMSELVES IN THESE
PEOPLE'S SHOES FOR ONE
DAY.
SOME OF THESE PEOPLE, THEY
DON'T KNOW WHERE THEIR
NEXT MEAL IS COMING FROM.
IF IT WASN'T FOR SOMEONE
LIKE "OPERATION BLESSING,"
THESE PEOPLE WOULD BE IN
SERIOUS TROUBLE.
Gordon: THAT'S JUST
PART OF WHAT CBN PARTNERS
ARE DOING AROUND THE
WORLD.
WE'RE FEEDING -- YOU'RE
FEEDING THREE MILLION
AMERICANS EVERY SINGLE
MONTH.
OUR TRUCKS ARE CONSTANTLY
ROLLING FROM THE
WAREHOUSE, DELIVERING FOOD
TO FOOD PANTRIES ACROSS
AMERICA.
IF YOU WANT TO BE A PART
OF THAT, JUST JOIN "THE
700 CLUB."
HOW MUCH IS IT?
JUST $20 A MONTH, 65 CENTS
A DAY.
AND YOU JOIN WITH TENS OF
THOUSANDS WHO SAY, YES, I
WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
IN THE WORLD, I WANT TO BE
A PART OF IT.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE
GOSPEL PREACHED AROUND THE

COULD SEE AGAIN.
AND THEY PRAISED THE GOD
OF ISRAEL."
