Wendy: ACROSS THE

FORMER SOVIET UNION,

BELIEVERS ARE REACHING

THEIR COUNTRIES FOR

CHRIST, NO MATTER WHAT THE

COST.

I HAVE BEEN CALLED TO

BE A WITNESS FOR CHRIST,

BUT THAT HAS BEEN A

DANGEROUS CALLING.

Wendy: PLUS...A PRO

BOWL PLAYER WITH A MAJOR

LEAGUE PROBLEM.

FIND OUT WHAT GOT HIM BACK

IN THE GAME.

THAT'S WHEN I JUST KNEW

THAT GOD -- THAT WAS A

TRUE WORD FROM THE LORD,

AND IT WAS FOR ME.

Wendy: ON TODAY'S

"700 CLUB."

Pat: WELL, WELCOME TO

THIS EDITION OF "THE 700

CLUB."

WE'VE GOT SOME GREAT

THINGS FOR YOU.

BUT, I'LL TELL YOU,

OVERSEAS, MAYBE THE ASIANS

ARE USED TO INFLAMED

RHETORIC, AND CERTAINLY

DICTATORS JUST LIKE TO

BLOW OFF STEAM IN FRONT OF

THEIR PEOPLE TO GET THEM

ALL STEAMED UP.

BUT THE GUY THAT IS IN

CHARGE OF NORTH KOREA IS

SAYING SOME THINGS THAT

HAVE GOT US ALL STEAMED

UP.

THEY SAY, WELL, IT IS JUST

A WAR OF WORDS BETWEEN THE

U.S. AND NORTH KOREA, BUT

THE NORTH IS THREATENING

TO TURN IT INTO THE

ULTIMATE BATTLE, A THERMAL

NUCLEAR WAR WITH ATOM

BOMBS FALLING ON THE WEST

COAST OF THE UNITED STATES

OF AMERICA.

THAT'S SERIOUS BUSINESS.

TERRY?

Terry: NORTH KOREA

SAYS IT IS PREPARED TO

FIGHT IF THE UNITED STATES

TAKES MILITARY ACTION TO

STOP ITS BALLISTIC MISSILE

PROGRAM.

STILL, PRESIDENT TRUMP

ISN'T BACKING DOWN FROM

HIS MOVE TO FINALLY END

KIM JONG-UN'S THREATS.

EFREM GRAHAM HAS THE

STORY.

Efrem: IN THE

AFTERMATH OF

VICE-PRESIDENT PENCE'S

VISIT TO THE KOREAN

DEMILITARIZED ZONE, THE

DEPUTY REPRESENTATIVE AT

THE U.N. GAVE A STERN

WARNING TO THE NUCLEAR

BODY.

THE NUCLEAR WAR MAY

BREAK OUT IN ANY MOMENT ON

THE PENINSULA.

Efrem: HOW GREAT IS

THE NORTH KOREA THREAT?

DESPITE THIS WEAKENED'S

MISSILE FAILURE, LAST

MONTH THE COUNTRY LAUNCHED

FOUR BALLISTIC MISSILES

MORE THAN 600 MILES.

THEY DROPPED INTO THE SEA

OF JAPAN.

THREE OF THEM IN JAPANESE

TERRITORIAL WATERS.

THAT WAS FOLLOWED BY MORE

THREATS TO LAUNCH

MISSILES, AND MAYBE EVEN A

NUCLEAR ONE AGAINST THE

UNITED STATES.

NORTH KOREA IS NOT BACKING

DOWN.

WE'LL BE CONDUCTING

MORE MISSILE TESTS ON A

WEEKLY, MONTHLY, AND

YEARLY BASIS.

ANY MESSAGE FOR NORTH

KOREA?

YEAH, GOT TO BEHAVE.

Efrem: IN JAPAN, VICE

PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE SAID

THE U.S. WILL BE REACHING

OUT TO NORTH KOREA'S

NEIGHBORS TO HELP SHUT

DOWN KIM JONG-UN'S MISSILE

AND NUCLEAR DEVELOPMENT

PROGRAM.

THE ERA OF STRATEGIC

PATIENCE IS OVER.

WHILE ALL OPTION ARE ON

THE TABLE, PRESIDENT TRUMP

IS DETERMINED TO WORK

CLOSELY WITH JAPAN, WITH

SOUTH KOREA, WITH ALL OF

OUR ALLIES IN THE REGION,

AND WITH CHINA.

Efrem: CHINA WANTS TO

COOL TEMPERS AND WOULD

LIKE TO SEE A RETURN TO

MULTI-LATERAL NEGOTIATIONS

WITH NORTH KOREA.

BUT PYONGYANG HAS A LONG

RECORD OF BAD BEHAVIOR,

AND IT BROKE A PREVIOUS

AGREEMENT NEGOTIATED BY

PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON.

IN 1994, THE KOREAN

GOVERNMENT AGREED TO SHUT

DOWN ITS NUCLEAR

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.

FIVE YEARS LATER, CBN NEWS

OBTAINED SATELLITE IMAGERY

SHOWING A PLUTONIUM

PRODUCTION SITE STILL IN

OPERATION.

President Trump:

NORTH KOREA IS A PROBLEM.

THE PROBLEM WILL BE TAKEN

CARE OF.

Efrem: FOR NOW, THE

PRESIDENT ISN'T SAYING HOW

HE INTENDS TO DEAL WITH

THE NORTH KOREAN PROBLEM.

BUT THE UNITED STATES IS

IN THE FIRST PHASE OF

DEPLOYING THE THAAD IN

SOUTH KOREA.

AND WHEN ASKED WHAT HE

PLANS NEXT, PRESIDENT

TRUMP SAID "WAIT AND SEE."

EFREM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS.

Pat: WELL, YOU'RE

WATCHING "THE 700 CLUB."

OUR INTERNATIONAL

CORRESPONDENT GARY LANE IS

WITH US.

YOU WERE IN NORTH KOREA.

YOU'VE SEEN SOME OF THESE

THINGS, AND TELL US WHAT

YOUR REACTION IS.

Reporter: I THINK WE

HAVE TO TAKE HIM AT HIS

WORD, WHAT KIM JONG-UN IS

SAYING.

DOES HE HAVE THE

CAPABILITY TO LAUNCH A

NUCLEAR MISSILE AGAINST

THE U.S., MAYBE NOT AT

THIS TIME.

BUT IF HE CONTINUES DOWN

THE ROAD, HE WILL

EVENTUALLY DO THAT.

Pat: THE THING IS

SO -- I WAS STATIONED

NORTH OF THE 38th

PARALLEL WHEN I WAS IN

CAREER, AND I'M FAMILIAR

WITH THE MOUNTAINOUS

REGION.

BUT SEOUL, WHEN I FIRST

SAW IT, IT WAS KIND OF

LIKE THIS SLEEPY LITTLE

KOREAN VILLAGE, WHERE THEY

HAD THE HONEY BUCKETS FOR,

THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY

SEWERS.

YOU COME BACK, AND IT IS

ONE OF THE MOST MODERN

CITIES WITH MILLIONS OF

PEOPLE IN IT.

AND THE NORTH HAS TARGETED

THEM.

WHAT KIND OF ARMAMENT DOES

THE NORTH HAVE THAT THEY

COULD AIM AT SEOUL, FOR

EXAMPLE?

Reporter: AS YOU

KNOW, THEY'VE GOT THESE

MISSILES THEY'VE BEEN

LAUNCHING WITH A RANGE OF

600 MILES.

I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY CAN

PUT A NUCLEAR DEVICE ON

THAT, BUT THEY CAN PUT

SOME POWER BEHIND IT.

THEY HAVE A THRUST OF

ABOUT 80 TONS, SO THAT IS

A PRETTY POWERFUL MISSILE.

THOSE COULD STRIKE THERE.

AND THEY HAVE ARMAMENTS

ALONG THE BORDER, AND AS

MUCH AS A MILLION MEN THAT

THEY COULD DEPLOY.

AND JUST CROSS OVER THE

BORDER.

IT WOULD TAKE THEM

PROBABLY LESS THAN TWO

HOURS TO GET TO SEOUL.

Pat: AND WE JUST HAVE

A LITTLE TRIP WIRE.

WE'VE GOT SOME THOUSANDS

OF PEOPLE --

Reporter: WE HAVE

ABOUT 29,000 TROOPS THERE.

Pat: THAT WOULDN'T

STAND UP AGAINST A MILLION

MEN.

AND THE SOUTH KOREANS

HAVE ABOUT A HALF MILLION.

Pat: THEY ARE GOING

ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS.

WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

IT IS AN EXTRAORDINARILY

PROSPEROUS COUNTRY?

Reporter: SOUTH

KOREA?

Pat: YES.

Reporter: OH, YES.

MANY OF THEIR CARS ARE

DRIVEN HERE IN THE U.S.,

HYUNDAI AND KIA AND SO

FORTH.

WHAT NORTH KOREA IS DOING

NOW, THEY'RE TRYING TO PUT

ON A SHOW THAT PYONGYANG

IS THIS UP-AND-COMING CITY

NOW WITH NEW BUILDINGS AND

MODERN SHOPPING CENTERS

AND SO FORTH.

BUT IT IS ALL FOR SHOW.

BECAUSE IF YOU GO INTO THE

COUNTRYSIDE, MANY OF THE

PEOPLE ARE STARVING.

Pat: HAVE YOU HAD A

CHANCE TO GO UP THERE AND

VISIT?

Reporter: I HAVEN'T

BEEN TO PYONGYANG.

I WALKED ACROSS THE

BORDER, AND I HAD A NORTH

KOREAN GUARD -- IF LOOKS

COULD KILL, I WOULD

PROBABLY BE DEAD.

BUT I SEEN CRAFD BAC CROSSED BACK

INTO SOUTH KOREA.

BUT OUR VICE PRESIDENT WAS

THERE, AND HE STARED THEM

DOWN AS WELL.

Pat: THEY TALK ABOUT

THAT "MOTHER OF ALL

BOMBS," MOAB, A

BUNKER-BUSTER --

Reporter: IT IS A

POWERFUL WEAPON.

Pat: WE COULD USE

THAT AGAINST PYONGYANG, IF

THEY COULD IDENTIFY WHERE

THE NUCLEAR FACILITIES

ARE.

Reporter: IT IS ABOUT

11 TONS OF T.N.T.

IT IS A VERY POWERFUL BOMB

WITH USED IN AFGHANISTAN.

I THINK THE CONCERN HAS

BEEN, PAT, AS YOU KNOW, IT

IS A DENSELY POPULATED

AREA.

YOU CAN'T USE TACTICAL

NUKES BECAUSE IF YOU DO,

THE FALLOUT WOULD GO INTO

CHINA, JAPAN, SOUTH KOREA,

RUSSIA, AND SO FORTH.

YOU HAVE TO MINIMIZE

CIVILIAN CASUALTIES.

THE "MOTHER OF ALL BOMBS"

WOULD DO THAT.

Pat: YOU'VE TALKED TO

PEOPLE, AND WHAT HAVE THEY

BE SAYING?

I'VE BEEN WRESTLING WITH

SOME SOLUTIONS --

Reporter: THE

PRESIDENT HAS SAID, HE IS

TIRED OF THIS.

WE HAVE GONE FOR 25 YEARS.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED UNDER

BILL CLINTON AND THEN

UNDER BUSH AND OBAMA, THEY

MAKE AGREEMENTS AND THEN

THEY VIOLATE THOSE.

THEY GO A COUPLE OF YEARS,

AND THEN THEY START

BUILDING THEIR NUCLEAR

FACILITIES AND THEIR

MISSILES AGAIN.

THERE IS SOME INDICATION

THAT THEY HAVE A MISSILE

PROGRAM RIGHT NOW WITH

IRAN, IN COOPERATION WITH

IRAN.

THE PENTAGON LAST JANUARY

EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT A

MISSILE THAT WAS NORTH

KOREAN IN DESIGN THAT THE

IRANIANS FIRED OFF, ABOUT

A 630-MILE RANGE ON IT.

WE KNOW THEY'RE WORKING

WITH THE IRANIANS ON

MISSILES.

ARE THEY WORKING ON THEM,

WITH THEM, ON A SECRET

NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM?

PERHAPS.

Pat: THERE HAS BEEN

SOME TALK OF SEAL TEAM 6

BEING READY TO DO AN AS AN

ASSASSINATION JOB ON HIM.

DO YOU THINK THAT IS AT

ALL POSSIBLE.

IT IS HARD TO PENETRATE

THAT COUNTRY.

Reporter: YES, IT IS

VERY HARD TO PENETRATE THE

COUNTRY.

AND I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU

COULD GET TO UN.

HE STAYS HIDDEN.

Pat: THEY ARE TALKING

ABOUT A REGIME CHANGE IN

CHINA --

Reporter: I HAVEN'T

HEARD ABOUT THAT.

BUT I KNOW AT THIS POINT

CHINA IS TRYING TO

COOPERATE WITH THE U.S.

AND HELP US OUT BY DOING

THINGS LIKE SENDING COAL

BACK TO NORTH KOREA, AND

STOPPING THE FLOW OF OIL

BACK AND FORTH.

ECONOMIC MEASURES, AND

MILITARY, THEY PUT 150,000

MEN ON THE BORDER OF NORTH

KOREA AND CHINA.

WHETHER THEY'LL USE THEM

OR NOT, WE'LL SEE.

THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE

TEMPERS COOLED.

BUT FOR 25 YEARS, THEY

HAVE NOT STOPPED NORTH

KOREA FROM WHAT THEY WERE

DOING.

Pat: THE BIG MISTAKE

WAS WHEN TRUMAN KEPT

MCCARTHUR FROM SEALING OFF

THAT AREA.

BUT, NO, WE DIDN'T DO IT.

Reporter: WHAT DID

YOU THINK AT THAT TIME,

BECAUSE YOU WERE THERE?

Pat: HEY, I WAS JUST

A LOWLY LIEUTENANT.

AND I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TO

DO.

WE WERE ALL GLAD TO GET IT

OVER WITH.

THEY WERE GOING BACK AND

FORTH IN THOSE

NEGOTIATIONS, YOU KNOW.

PANG MOON JON, WHOEVER.

BUT WE WERE GLAD TO SEE

THE FIGHTING OVER.

IT WAS A NASTY PLACE.

AND IT WAS COLD.

AND THE MOUNTAINS WHERE

TERRIBLE, AND PEOPLE WERE

GETTING KILLED.

Reporter: I HAVE A

FATHER-IN-LAW WHO SERVED

OVER THERE.

AND ONE-THIRD OF HIS UNIT

NEVER CAME BACK.

THEY HAD SOME BRUTAL

FIGHTING.

Pat: IT WAS TERRIBLE.

AND THE THING IS, THEY

STARTED TRADING.

I'VE GOT A HILL HERE --

NO, NO, THIS IS YOUR HILL.

AND THEY WOULD FIGHT OVER

THE HILL.

AND THE MARINES AND OTHERS

WOULD DIE TO TAKE THIS

PIECE OF REAL ESTATE WHICH

WOULD THEN BE GIVEN BACK

AT THE NEGOTIATING TABLE.

AND IT WAS NONSENSE.

Reporter: MOST

AMERICANS DO NOT REALIZE

WE NEVER HAD A PEACE

TREATY WITH THEM.

IT WAS A CEASE-FIRE

AGREEMENT.

WE'RE STILL TECHNICALLY AT

WAR.

Pat: ENDLESS

NEGOTIATION.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IF

THERE IS EVER SOMETHING TO

PRAY ABOUT, THIS IS IT.

> THE MANHUNT HAS BEEN

UNDER WAY ACROSS SEVERAL

STATES FOR THE MURDERER

WHO KILLED A MAN AND

POSTED THE MURDER ON

Facebook.

THE VICTIM'S FAMILY HAS A

MESSAGE.

WENDY HAS THAT STORY.

Wendy: THANKS, PAT.

> THE CHILDREN OF THE

74-YEAR-OLD VICTIM SAY

THEY FORGIVE THEIR

FATHER'S KILLER BECAUSE

THE BIBLE TELLS THEM TO.

I JUST WANT HIM TO KNOW

THAT GOD LOVES HIM.

WE LOVE HIM.

YES, WE'RE HURT, BUT WE

HAVE TO FORGIVE HIM,

BECAUSE IF WE DON'T

FORGIVE HIM, THE BIBLE

SAYS YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER

WON'T FORGIVE YOU.

I FORGIVE YOU, MAN.

I'M NOT HAPPY WITH WHAT

YOU DID, BUT I FORGIVE

YOU.

Wendy: INCREDIBLE.

GODWIN WAS THE FATHER OF

SIX GIRLS AND FOUR BOYS.

THEY SAY HE TOOK THEM TO

CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY.

THE KILLER, AS YOU SEE

THERE, STEVE STEPHENS, IS

STILL ON THE RUN.

> SUPREME COURT JUSTICE

NEIL GORSUCH HIT THE

GROUND RUNNING ON HIS

FIRST DAY ON THE HIGH

COURT BENCH.

HE ASKED MORE QUESTIONS

THAN ANY OF THE OTHER

JUSTICES.

NOW THAT GORSUCH HAS BEEN

CONFIRMED, THE COURT IS

BACK TO NINE MEMBERS.

THE COURT WILL TAKE UP A

CLOSELY WATCHED CASE

INVOLVING TAXPAYER MONEY

AND RELIGION ON WEDNESDAY.

CBN NEWS WILL HAVE A

REPORT ON THAT CASE

TOMORROW.

> WELL, DON'T LOOK FOR

TAX REFORM TO GET FINISHED

ANY TIME SOON.

THAT'S THE WORD FROM

TREASURY SECRETARY STEVE

MNUCHIN.

HE SAID IT WAS NOT

REALISTIC AT THIS POINT.

THE ECONOMY HAS BEEN THE

TOP ISSUE FOR MILLIONS OF

VOTERS.

PAT, AS YOU KNOW, TAX CUTS

FOR BUSINESSES AND

INDIVIDUALS IS A KEY PART

OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PLAN

FOR GETTING THE ECONOMY

GROWING AGAIN.

Pat: WELL, I WOULDN'T

ARGUE WITH STEVEN MNUCHIN.

HE IS A VERY SMART GUY.

BUT IT SEEMS THEY COULD

LOWER THE CORPORATE TAX

RATE FROM 35% DOWN TO 25%

BY A STROKE OF THE PEN.

OKAY, DONE.

THERE IS TREMENDOUS

BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR

THAT.

THEY COULD LOWER THE

INDIVIDUAL TAX RATE, SAME

THING.

BUT IN TERMS OF AN

OVERHAUL OF THE ENTIRE TAX

CODE, THAT IS A MONUMENTAL

TASK.

AND, I'LL TELL YOU, EVERY

LOBBYIST FROM EVERY CORNER

OF THE WORLD IS GOING TO

BE PUSHING THE SENATORS

AND THE CONGRESSMEN TO

GIVE THEIR CONCESSIONS --

LEAVE THEM IN THE TAX

CODE.

THEY CALL IT THE

ACCOUNTANTS' AND LAWYERS'

TAX RELIEF BILL, AND THEY

DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP WHAT

THEY'VE DONE.

SO IT IS GOING TO BE A

FIGHT.

THEY REALLY SHOULD GET IT

OVER WITH AND COME BACK

AND DO THE BIG ONE LATER.

TERRY?

Terry: UP NEXT, FIVE

FORMER SOVIET REPUBLICS

WHERE THE ONLY SAFE PLACE

TO TALK ABOUT JESUS IS THE

WORKPLACE.

SEE HOW YOUNG CHRISTIAN

PROFESSIONALS IN CENTRAL

ASIA ARE SHARING THE

GOSPEL.

Pat: WELCOME BACK.

YOU'RE WATCHING "THE 700

CLUB."

MAN, IT'S FULL OF NEWS.

THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON

IN THE WORLD.

THE GROWTH OF RADICAL

ISLAM HAS HELPED MAKE 2016

ONE OF THE WORST YEARS

EVER FOR CHRISTIAN

PERSECUTION CHRISTIANS IN

A PREDOMINANTLY MUSLIM

REGION IN CENTRAL ASIA

CONTINUE TO FACE ALMOST

DAILY HARASSMENT FOR JUST

SHARING THEIR FAITH.

EVEN SO, MANY YOUNG

PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIVE

SO-CALLED STAND COUNTRIES

ARE BOLDLY SPREADING THE

GOSPEL.

OUR GORG GEORGE THOMAS WAS

THERE WITH THIS STORY FROM

A PLACE CALLED KYRGYZSTAN.

George: A CHRISTIAN

LIVING IN ANY OF THE FIVE

FORMER SOVIET REPUBLICS OF

UZBEKISTAN, KAZAKHSTAN,

KYRGYZSTAN, OR

TURKMENISTAN, CAN EXPECT

HARASSMENT OR WORSE, JAIL

TIME, FOR TELLING OTHER

ABOUT THEIR FAITH.

ARTUR, NOT HIS REAL NAME,

IS FROM UZBEKISTAN.

I HAVE BEEN CALLED TO

BE AUIT A WITNESS FOR CHRIST,

BUT THAT HAS BEEN A

DANGEROUS CALLING.

WHEN THE AUTHORITIES

HAVE FOUND OUT THAT

SOMEONE HAS CONVERTED TO

CHRISTIANITY, THEY WILL

GATHER THE FAMILY AND

BRING THEM BEFORE A

CONGREGATION OF ELDERS.

AND THEY HAVE TO DECIDE

BETWEEN FAITH OR FAMILY.

George: 25 YEARS

AFTER THE SOVIET UNION

DISAPPEARED AND THESE

REPUBLICS GAVE THEIR

INDEPENDENCE, THE FIVE

SO-CALLED STAND STATES

HAVE BECOME REPRESSIVE AND

HOSTILE TOWARDS PEOPLE OF

FAITH.

IN RECENT YEARS,

CHRISTIANS HAVE COME UNDER

INTENSE PRESSURE HERE IN

CENTRAL ASIA.

IN FACT, IN AN ATTEMPT TO

CRACK DOWN ON RADICAL

ISLAM, THESE FIVE

GOVERNMENTS HAVE ENACTED

LAWS CURBING THEIR

ACTIVITY.

BUT INSTEAD OF GOING AFTER

MUSLIMS, THESE GOVERNMENTS

ARE USING THESE LAWS TO GO

AFTER CHRISTIANS.

DR. MICHAEL CHERENKOV

FOLLOWS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

ISSUES IN THE FORMER

SOVIET UNION.

THESE LAWS HAVE FORCED

CHRISTIANS TO BE MORE

CREATIVE AND INVENT NEW

APPROACHES TO SHARING THE

GOSPEL.

George: CHERENKOV

SAYS WHILE CHURCHES AND

CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATIONS

RAISE SUSPENSION,

INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIPS

GO VIRTUALLY UNNOTICED.

WE ARE DISCOVERING THAT

BEING A WITNESS FOR CHRIST

IN THE WORKPLACE IS

PROBABLY THE ONLY SAFE AND

EFFECTIVE FORM OF

EVANGELIZATION.

George: ON A RECENT

SATURDAY MORNING, HUNDREDS

OF YOUNG CHRISTIANS FROM

ACROSS THE REGION MET FOR

THE FIRST EVER NEXT

GENERATION PROFESSIONAL

LEADERS INITIATIVE.

THE EVENT WAS THE

BRAINCHILD AND DREAM OF

SERGEI.

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO

OVERSTATE THE SIGNIFICANCE

OF THE GATHERING.

George: HE GREW UP IN

THE FORMER SOVIET UNION

AND REMEMBERS WHAT IT WAS

LIKE AS A YOUNG CHRISTIAN

TRYING TO DISCOVER HIS

PURPOSE IN LIFE.

I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO

STUDY AT THE UNIVERSITY

BECAUSE I WAS A CHRISTIAN.

AND THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE

TERRITORY OF THE SOVIET

UNION, YOU COULD NOT FIND

EVEN ONE CHRISTIAN

PROFESSOR, CHRISTIAN

DOCTOR OR CHRISTIAN

LAWYER.

EVEN THE WORD "BUSINESS"

WAS A FOREIGN WORD FOR

CHRISTIANS AT THAT TIME.

George: HE BROUGHT

TOGETHER ENTREPRENEURS,

DOCTORS, EDUCATORS,

LAWYERS, AND MEDIA EXPERTS

TO TEACH YOUNG

PROFESSIONALS HOW TO BE

AFFECTIVE WITNESSES FOR

CHRIST IN THE MARKETPLACE.

THIS IS A GENERATION

THAT DIDN'T GROW UP IN A

SECULAR AND REPRESSIVE

SOVITY MINDSETSOVIET MINDSET.

SO THEY HAVE UNIQUE

TALENTS.

George: 31-YEAR-OLD

ORMET WORKS AS AN I.T.

SPECIALIST FROM

TURKMENISTAN.

I'M LEARNING THAT MY

DEEDS SHOULD SPEAK LOUDER

THAN MY WORDS, AND THAT

BUILDING LONG-TERM

RELATIONSHIPS IS VITAL.

George: 17-YEAR-OLD

MIRIAM TEACHES ENGLISH IN

PAKISTAN.

MY PARENTS AND ALL OF

MY RELATIVES ARE AGAINST

ME BECAUSE I'M A

CHRISTIAN.

George: SHE SAYS

MEETING OTHERS WHO HAVE

ALSO ENDURED MUCH FOR

THEIR FAITH AND STILL WANT

TO BE USED BY GOD WAS A

HUGE ENCOURAGEMENT.

THIS IS GATHERING IS

ALSO IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT

IS TEACHING US HOW TO

SAFELY COMBINE OUR

PROFESSION WITH OUR

COMPASSION FOR CHRIST.

George: YOU'VE EVGENY IS A

SPECIALIST.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL

OPPORTUNITY TO NETWORK

WITH OTHERS.

George: HE SAYS IT IS

UP TO THESE YOUNG

PROFESSIONALS TO INSTILL

BIBLICAL VALUES INTO THEIR

SOCIETIES.

ONLY THEN WILL THEY SEE

LASTING CHANGE.

EVEN THOUGH ISLAM IS

THE DOMINANT RELIGION, AND

THE RADICAL ISLAM IS

BECOMING MORE INFLUENTIAL

HERE, I AM SO BLESSED TO

WITNESS THE COURAGE AND

CONFIDENCE DEMONSTRATED BY

YOUNG CHRISTIANS IN

CENTRAL ASIA.

George: GEORGE

THOMAS, CBN NEWS, BISHKEK,

TURKMENISTAN.

Pat: IT IS AMAZING.

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT

PROPHECY, AND THE 38th

CHAPTER OF EZEKIEL TELLS

ABOUT A COALITION IN THE

LATTER DAYS THAT WILL COME

AGAINST ISRAEL.

AND PART OF THAT COALITION

INVOLVES THOSE CAUCASIAN

NATIONS, THOSE STANDS, AND

THAT WILL BE PART OF THE

COALITION.

IN THE NEWS, BY THE WAY,

THE PRESIDENT OF TURKEY

JUST WON WHAT LOOKED LIKE

A FIXED, RIGGED ELECTION,

BUT HE WON IT.

HE IS MUCH MORE AN

AUTOCRATIC DICTATOR THAN

HE WAS BEFORE.

AND WITH FEW CHECKS ON HIS

POWER.

SO ERDOGAN WILL CLAIM THAT

HE IS NOW THE SOLE OUGHT

AUTTOECRAT OF TURKEY.

HE WILL MOVE IT MUCH MORE

EXTREME TOWARDS RADICAL

ISLAM.

SO TURKEY JOINS IN WITH

THESE ISLAMIC REPUBLICS IN

RUSSIA.

AND YOU HAVE A VICIOUS

COALITION, WHICH, AGAIN,

JOINS WITH IRAN.

AND SUDAN -- I GUESS THAT

WOULD BE THE NORTHERN PART

OF SUDAN, AND ALL OF THESE

WOULD COME AGAINST ISRAEL

IN THE LATTER DAYS.

THAT'S SOMETHING YOU LOOK

FOR.

BUT IT IS ALL SHAPING UP.

THE DRAMA IS GETTING READY

TO GET PLAYED OUT.

WE'LL KEEP YOU INFORMED.

YOU HAVE TO READ THE

NEWSPAPER ON THE ONE HAND,

BUT READ THE BIBLE ON THE

OTHER.

Terry: WELL, COMING

UP, A PRO-BASEBALL PLAYER

GETS A CAREER-THREATENING

INJURY.

PLAYERS ARE A DIME A

DOZEN.

IF THEY HEAR THAT YOU'RE

INJURED, IT COULD COST YOU

YOUR JOB REALLY QUICK.

Terry: WATCH HOW THIS

SLUGGER WAS SUPER NATURAL

NATURALLY HEALED, AFTER

THIS.

Terry: EACH SPRING,

Terry: EACH SPRING,

OUR STAFF DESIGNATES A

SPECIAL WEEK OF PRAYER,

OUR PARTNERS AND VIEWERS.

FROM MONDAY, APRIL 24th

> DERRICK PYLES HAS BEEN

A PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL

PLAYER FOR EIGHT YEARS.

HE IS LIVING HIS DREAM.

BUT HE ALSO KNOWS THAT

PLAYERS ARE A DIME A

DOZEN, AND IF YOU'RE

INJURED, YOU CAN BE

REPLACED VERY QUICKLY.

THAT'S WHY WHEN DERRICK

HURT HIS HELP, HE KEPT IT

TO HIMSELF AND PLAYED

THROUGH THE PAIN.

UNTIL IT BECAME SO MUCH,

HE BECAME DESPERATE FOR AN

ANSWER TO HIS PRAYERS.

Reporter: AT

27-YEAR-OLD OLD, DERRICK

PYLES WAS LIVING HIN HIS

CHILDHOOD DREAM.

I STARTED PLAYING WHEN

I WAS SIX YEARS OLD.

AND I ALWAYS KNEW I WANTED

TO BE A PROFESSIONAL

BASEBALL PLAYER.

Reporter: DERRICK WAS

IN HIS SEVENTH SEASON WITH

THE TRIPLE "A" CLUB WHEN

HIS RIGHT HIP STARTED

HURTING.

I THINK THE CONSTANT

WEAR AND TEAR, IT JUST

STARTED GETTING WORSE AND

WORSE FOR ABOUT EIGHT

MONTHS.

Reporter: AS AN OUT

OUTFIELD DEER AND DESIGNATED

HITTER, HIS HIP WAS

SLOWING HIM DOWN.

STILL, HE NEVER TOLD

ANYONE ABOUT HIS INJURY.

PLAYERS ARE A DIME A

DOZEN.

BUT THERE WAS A CONSTANT

NAGGING IN THE BACK OF MY

MIND, KNOWING THAT THIS IS

BAD, KNOWING THAT I REALLY

HADN'T TOLD THE COACHES,

KNOWING THAT I WASN'T AT

MY VERY BEST.

IT WAS VERY FRUSTRATING.

Reporter: ONE NIGHT

WHILE ON THE ROAD, DERRICK

WENT TO HIS HOTEL ROOM

AFTER TOUGHING OUT ANOTHER

GAME.

THIS TIME HE KNEW HE

COULDN'T PLAY THROUGH THE

PAIN MUCH LONGER.

AND FEARED THIS COULD BE

THE END OF HIS SEASON AND

POSSIBLY HIS CAREER.

AT THAT POINT IN TIME,

I WAS DESPERATE.

I WAS, LIKE, LORD, IF YOU

DON'T DO SOMETHING, I WAS

GOING TO BE GOING HOME FOR

THE SUMMER.

NOW, I FLIPPED ON THE TV,

AND I'D SEEN "THE 700

CLUB" BEFORE, AND IT WAS

JUST THERE.

AND IT JUST SEEMED LIKE

THE PERFECT TIMING.

Reporter: AS HE

WATCHED, GORDON AND TERRY

STARTED PRAYING.

Gordon: SOMEONE ELSE,

YOU HAVE PROBLEMS IN YOUR

RIGHT HIP, AND THERE IS

GRINDING IN THE JOINT.

GOD IS GOING TO GIVE YOU

BACK THAT HIP JOINT.

NO PAIN OR DISCOMFORT IN

ANYTHING THAT YOU DO.

I REALLY FELT HIS POWER

BEGIN TO MOVE ON THAT PART

OF MY BODY.

Gordon: JUST RECEIVE

IT NOW IN JESUS' NAME.

THAT'S WHEN I JUST KNEW

THAT WAS A TRUE WORD FROM

THE LORD AND IT WAS FOR

ME.

AND MY PAIN LEVEL THE

FOLLOWING DAY WAS PRETTY

MUCH NOTHING.

BUT THEN IN ABOUT A DAY

AND A HALF, I NOTICED IT

WAS COMPLETELY BETTER.

I DIDN'T FEEL THE POPPING

OUT OF PLACE OR THE

GRINDING OR ANYTHING LIKE

THAT.

Reporter: DERRICK

PLAYED HIS NEXT GAME AND

THE REST OF THE SEASON

PAIN-FREE.

THE FACT THAT I WAS

ABLE TO FINISH THE SEASON

WAS A BIG DEAL.

AND IT WASN'T JUST ABOUT

ME.

I REALLY WANT TO GO OUT

EVERY YEAR AND REALLY DO

WELL AND SEE IT IS BETTER

FOR MY FAMILY EACH YEAR,

TOO.

Reporter: BUILDING ON

THAT SUCCESSFUL SEASON,

DERRICK'S CAREER HAS

CONTINUED TO PROGRESS.

HE USES EVERY OPPORTUNITY

TO WITNESS TO TEAMMATES

AND FANS ABOUT GOD'S POWER

TO HEAL.

WE CAN PRAY BIG AND

PRAY SMALL, AND REALLY

BELIEVE GOD FOR SMALL

THINGS AND PRAY FOR BIG

THINGS AND PRAY FOR

MIRACLES.

AS LONG AS OUR HEART IS

RIGHT, TO REALLY HONOR THE

LORD WITH IT, AND REALLY

GIVE HIM ALL OF THE GLORY.

AND GOD WILL DO GREAT

THINGS WITH OUR LIVES.

Terry: YOU KNOW, IT

IS SUCH A CELEBRATION WHEN

AN ATHLETE MAKES A

PROFESSIONAL TEAM, BUT ONE

INJURY CAN MAKE A TOTAL

DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE.

WHAT A POWERFUL STORY.

Pat: IT IS A

DRAMATIC, WONDERFUL

HEALING.

> HERE IS ONE FROM

CYNTHIA WHO LIVES IN

MICHIGAN.

SHE HAD AN ESOPHAGEAL

BURNING WHEN SHE ATE.

AFTER SHE WAS WATCHING ON

APRIL 4th, LAST YEAR --

I GUESS IT WAS LAST

YEAR -- OR THIS YEAR --

MAYBE IT WAS THIS YEAR --

SHE HEARD TERRY GIVE A

WORD.

SOMEONE, YOU HAVE AN

ESOPHAGUS PROBLEM.

IT CAUSES PAN FOR YOU.

AND THERE IS A BURNING

THAT COMES WITH IT AND SO

FORTH.

GOD IS HEALING YOU.

CYNTHIA FELT A WARMTH AND

SHE WAS COMPLETELY HEALED.

NOW SHE CAN DRINK COFFEE

AND HAVE CHOCOLATE AND

ANYTHING ELSE AND NO

BURNING.

Terry: THAT'S

AWESOME.

PATRICIA LIVES IN OHIO,

AND SHE SUFFERED FROM BONE

SPURS IN HER NECK FOR

YEARS.

SHE WAS WATCHING THIS

PROGRAM ON THE 29th OF

MARCH, AND HE HEARD YOU,

PAT, GIVE THIS WORD OF

KNOWLEDGE: "THERE IS

ARTHRITIS IN YOUR NECK,

AND YOU HAVE A HARD TIME

EVEN MOVING.

PUT YOUR HAND ON YOUR NECK

IN THE NAME OF JESUS."

PATRICIA CLAIMED THE WORD,

AND IMMEDIATELY THE PAIN

WAS GONE, AND SHE HASN'T

HAD ANY MORE PAIN SINCE

THAT DAY.

Pat: YOU KNOW, WE

HAVE THESE MIRACLES TAKE

PLACE EVERY DAY, EVERY

DAY, EVERY DAY.

AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS --

OVER A MILLION RIGHT NOW,

AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, BUT

IT'S GOD.

GOD WANTS TO TOUCH YOU AND

HEAL YOU.

JESUS NEVER TURNED DOWN

ANYBODY FOR HEALING.

YOU READ THE GOSPEL, AND

YOU WILL NEVER FIND ONE

PERSON WHO JESUS SAID, NO,

I WILL NOT HEAL YOU -- NOT

ONE.

NOW, HE MADE THEM WAIT FOR

A TIME, HE TESTED THEIR

FAITH, HE PUSHED THEM -- A

WOMAN HAD QUITE A TIME

GETTING THROUGH, BUT SHE

GOT THE ANSWER.

BUT IN YOUR LIFE, JESUS

HAS ONE WORD FOR THE

LEPER.

HE SAID, "I WILL BE

CLEAN."

AND HE SAYS TO YOU, "I

WILL."

NOW, WHAT DO YOU WANT.

TERRY AND I ARE GOING TO

JOIN HANDS AND BELIEVE GOD

RIGHT NOW.

FATHER, THANK YOU FOR

THESE WONDERFUL EXAMPLES

OF MIRACLES.

AND, LORD, AT THIS MOMENT,

IN THIS AUDIENCE, THERE

ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE

SUFFERING.

SOMEBODY HAS HAD -- IT

LOOKS LIKE A HELP IMPLANT.

AND THE OPERATION HASN'T

GONE VERY WELL.

AND YOU'RE HAVING A LOT OF

PAIN.

AND RIGHT NOW THAT WHOLE

THING IS SETTLING IN INTO

THE SOCKET.

AND THE INFLAMMATION IS

LEAVING AND YOU ARE HEALED

IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

TERRY?

Terry: SOMEONE ELSE,

YOU'VE HAD TROUBLE WITH

YOUR HEARING.

YOU DON'T HAVE HEARING

AIDS, BUT IT IS LIKE

SUDDENLY YOUR HEARING IS

DIMINISHED.

YOU'RE SO CONCERNED ABOUT

IT.

GOD IS OPENING YOUR EARS

RIGHT NOW IN JESUS' NAME.

YOUR HEARING WILL BE MORE

ACUTE THAN IT HAS BEEN IN

A LONG TIME.

SOMEONE ELSE, YOU ALSO

HAVE ESOPHAGEAL PROBLEMS,

AND GOD IS HEALING THAT

FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.

LIFT UP YOUR HAND AND

RECEIVE IT.

YOU ARE MADE WHOLE IN

JESUS' NAME.

Pat: THERE IS A

DOCTOR WATCHING THIS

PROGRAM RIGHT NOW.

AND YOUR PRACTICE IS GOING

ALL TO PIECES BECAUSE

YOU'RE STARTING TO SHAKE.

IT IS A NERVOUS CONDITION.

YOU'VE HAD SO MANY

PROBLEMS COME UPON YOU,

AND YOU ARE OVERWHELMED

AND YOU'RE JUST SHAKING.

GOD RIGHT NOW IS FILLING

YOU WITH PIECE.

PEACE.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE

VICTORY OVER ALL OF THESE

PROBLEMS.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE

COMPLETELY WHOLE IN THE

NAME OF JESUS.

THANK YOU, LORD.

> IF YOU WANT FURTHER

PRAYER, JUST PICK UP THE

PHONE AND CALL IN.

TERRY, YOU HAVE SOMETHING

ELSE?

Terry: I FELT LIKE

THERE IS SOMEONE WHO HAS A

PROBLEM WITH A LOSS OF

TISSUE MASS.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY YOU

WOULD HAVE THAT, IF THERE

HAS BEEN AN ACCIDENT OR

SOMETHING.

BUT GOD IS GOING TO

RESTORE THAT FOR YOU AND

REBUILD THE PART OF YOUR

BODY WHERE THAT TISSUE HAS

DIMINISHED.

Pat: THE TELEPHONE IS

EASY, IT IS TOLL-FREE:

1-800-700-7000.

THERE ARE COUNSELLORS

RIGHT NOW ON THE PHONE AND

THEY'D LOVE TO PRAY FOR

YOU.

AND WE'D LOVE TO HEAR WHAT

GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU.

TERRY?

Terry: WELL, STILL

AHEAD, SHOCKING STATISTICS

ON ADULTERY AND

PORNOGRAPHY AMONG

CHRISTIAN MEN.

THE PASTOR OF ONE OF THE

LARGEST CHURCHES IN

AMERICA TALKS ABOUT

BREAKING ADDICTIVE

BEHAVIORS.

JOHNNIE HUNT JOINS US

"700 CLUB."

WELCOME BACK TO "THE

700 CLUB."

A BIG ELECTRIC BATTLE IN A

CONGRESSIONAL RACE IN

GEORGIA.

DEMOCRATS HAVE POURED MORE

THAN $8 MILLION INTO THE

CONTEST.

THEY'RE TRYING TO GET A

WIN AGAINST PRESIDENT

TRUMP.

IT IS A SEAT VACATED BY

TOM PRICE, WHO IS

SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND

HUMAN SERVICES.

POLLS SHOW JOHN OSESOFF IN

THE LEAD.

IT IS ABOUT MAKING SURE

FOLKS ARE AWARE THERE IS

AN ELECTION.

THAT'S AN IMPORTANT ONE.

CAUTIOUSLY OPTMISTIC

FOR TOMORROW.

Wendy: IF NO

CANDIDATE GETS OVER 50%,

THE RACE GOES TO A RUNOFF.

THAT WOULD FAVOR THE

REPUBLICANS IN THAT

CONSERVATIVE DISTRICT.

PAT AND TERRY WILL BE BACK

WITH MORE OF "THE 700

CLUB" RIGHT AFTER THIS.

Pat: WE'VE GOT A

SHOCKING REVELATION FOR

YOU RIGHT NOW.

PICTURE A MAN WHO IS A

BIBLE-BELIEVING CHRISTIAN

WHO REGULARLY ATTENDS

CHURCH, BUT HE ALSO

REGULARLY GETS DRUNK AND

HAS A COUPLE OF AFFAIRS.

DO YOU THINK THIS MAN IS

AN EXCEPTION?

ACCORDING TO PASTOR

JOHNNIE HUNT, THIS MAN IS

THE RULE, NOT THE

EXCEPTION.

Reporter: JOHNNIE

HUNT HAS MADE IT A MISSION

TO HELP PEOPLE BREAK

STRONGHOLDS, WHICH HE

DEFINES AS ANY HABIT THAT

HAS GOT AHOLD OF YOU.

JOHNNIE IS THE PASTOR OF

ONE OF THE LARGEST

CHURCHES IN THE U.S.,

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH IN

WOODSTOCK, GEORGIA.

HE SAYS TO BREAK THE

CHAINS OF ADDICTION AND

BAD HABITS, WE CAN'T DO IT

ON OUR OWN.

HE SHARES THE SECRETS TO

BREAKING FREE FROM

DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR.

Pat: PLEASE WELCOME

TO "THE 700 CLUB," PASTOR

JOHNNIE HUNT.

JOHNNIE, IT IS GOOD TO

HAVE YOU WITH US.

THANK YOU.

IT IS A JOY TO BE WITH

YOU.

Pat: HEY, LISTEN,

YOU'VE PASTORED A LOT OF

GUYS.

ARE THESE MEN A LITTLE

ASHAMED TO TALK ABOUT ALL

OF THESE SEXUAL AFFAIRS?

DO THEY OPEN UP TO YOU AND

TELL YOU WHAT THEY DO?

THE VERY PROBLEM WITH

PORNOGRAPHY IS THAT IT IS

SECRET.

IT KEEPS YOU IN ISOLATION,

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE

THE ENEMY TAKES THOSE WHO

ULTIMATELY TAKE THEIR

LIFE.

SO IF WE CAN GET THEM TO

COME OUT IN THE OPEN,

SHARING A MOMENT AGO,

PROVERBS TEACHES THAT

ANYTHING WE COVER HE

UNCOVERS, AND ANYTHING WE

UNCOVER, HE COVERS.

BUT WE'VE GOT TO NOT ONLY

BE WILLING TO UNCOVER

THEM, OR WE WON'T PROSPER.

SO WE'RE REALLY FINDING

SOME REAL VICTORY GETTING

MEN THERE.

Pat: THESE GUYS ARE

PROFESSING CHRISTIANS --

WHAT DO THEY DO?

WELL, WHEN YOU REALIZE

THAT A PERSON CAN DEAL

WITH SOMETHING THAT

BECOMES A HABIT, AND THEY

CAN FEEL I CAN BREAK IT

ANY TIME.

WE HEAR IT ALL OF THE

TIME.

BUT THEN THERE ARE TIMES

THAT HABIT REALLY GETS

AHOLD OF THEM, AND THE

SCRIPTURE REFERS TO IT AS

A STRONGHOLD.

AND NOW AS MUCH AS THEY

WANT TO BE FREE, THEY

HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO BREAK

FREE.

AND THEY NORMALLY WON'T

UNLESS THEY GO THROUGH

CERTAIN STEPS AND

COMMITMENT THAT CAN LEAD

TO REAL VICTORY.

Pat: AGAIN, YOU ARE A

PASTOR, AND I'VE BEEN A

PASTOR ALONG THE WAY, AND

YOU DEAL WITH PEOPLE AND

THEY BEGIN TO OPEN UP TO

YOU.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR

THEM TO OPEN UP WHAT

REALLY IS GOING ON IN

THEIR LIVES?

SEEMINGLY, THE MAJORITY

NEVER HAVE AND MAY NEVER

WILL.

BUT IN THE FIRST PART OF

MY BOOK, I TELL THE STORY

OF A LEADING CHRISTIAN

MINISTER THAT ACTUALLY

ENDED UP TAKING HIS LIFE.

IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU

DON'T DEMOLISH A

STRONGHOLD, A STRONGHOLD

WILL DEMOLISH YOU.

AND I THINK WHEN YOU HEAR

STORIES LIKE THAT, IT

OPENS THEM UP.

UNTIL THE PAIN OF STAYING

BECOMES GREATER THAN THE

PAIN OF CHANGE -- THEY'RE

NOT WILLING TO CHANGE.

IT IS A CONSTANT

CHALLENGE.

Pat: THIS DEAL IS

TEARING UP MARRIAGES, IT'S

TEARING UP HOMES, IT'S

TEARING UP CAREERS.

AREN'T THEY AWARE OF WHAT

IT DOES, THIS PORNOGRAPHY

AND HAVING AFFAIRS AND ALL

OF THIS STUFF?

DETRICK BONHOFFER SAID

YEARS AGO THAT IT WILL

LEAD YOU TO MOMENTARY

FORGETFULNESS OF GOD, AND

IT SEEMS TO HAPP HAPPEN OVER

AND OVER AGAIN.

AND YOU'RE RIGHT, IT HAS

RUINED MANY HOMES AND

INFLUENCE AND TESTIMONY.

THE ENEMY HAS A WAY OF

COVERING UP THE

CONSEQUENCES.

HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO

THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE.

IT IS JUST THAT MOMENT OF

PLEASURE.

Pat: GIVE US SOME FOR

INSTANCES.

CAN YOU POINT TO ONE THAT

YOU COULD TELL US ABOUT?

I CAN TELL YOU THAT

THERE ARE PEOPLE IN JAIL

RIGHT NOW, MINISTERS, THAT

GOT INTO PORNOGRAPHY AND

THEN IT LED TO CHILD

PORNOGRAPHY, AND THEN THEY

WERE ARRESTED, AND THEY'RE

FACING LONG SENTENCES.

Pat: MINISTERS, AS

IN --

AS IN MINISTERS OF THE

GOSPEL.

Pat: DO YOU KNOW THEM

PERSONALLY?

I KNOW THEM PERSONALLY.

Pat: YOU DO.

AND THEY GOT INTO CHILD

PORN --

WE HAVE A MINISTRY

CALLED "CITY OF REFUGE."

JAMES DOBSON SAID IT IS

ONE OF THE MOST COMPLETE

MINISTRIES.

I HAVE EIGHT PASTORS AND

FAMILIES RIGHT NOW THAT

WOODSTOCK IS LITERALLY

TAKING CARE OF.

WE FURNISH HOUSING FOR

THEM, FURNISH JOBS FOR

THEM, HELP THEM PAY THEIR

BILLS, SO THEY CAN KEEP

THEIR TESTIMONY ABOVE

WATER, AND WE HAVE A

MINISTRY TO HELP BRING

THEM BACK TO HEALTH, IN

THEIR MARRIAGE-IN THEIR

HOM, IN THEIRHOME,, IN LIAR THEIR CHILDREN .

WHEN YOU CAN GET THEM INTO

A SAFE PLACE, YOU CAN PEEL

THE UNION AND THEY'RE

WILLING TO TELL YOU WHAT

IS GOING ON IN THEIR

LIVES.

Pat: YOU HAVE ABOUT

10,000 MEMBERS --

RIGHT AT ABOUT 20,000.

THAT'S HOW MANY WE'RE

CHASING.

WE DON'T GET THAT MANY

EVERY WEEK.

Pat: THERE IT IS, ONE

OF THE BIGGEST CHURCHES IN

AMERICA.

ALL RIGHT.

BUT THESE PEOPLE ARE

PROFESSIONALS.

YOU'RE DEALING WITH

FOLKS -- THESE ARE HIGHER

INCOME FOLKS, REAL ESTATE

PEOPLE, SALESMEN, DOCTORS,

LAWYERS --

RIGHT.

Pat: AND THIS PORN IS

TAKING HOLD OF THEM?

IT ISN'T THE LOWER CLASS,

SO TO SPEAK?

I'D SAY 35% OF THE TIME

THAT A PERSON CLICKS ON

THE WEB, IT'S TO GO TO A

PORNOGRAPHY SITE.

35%.

THERE IS NOTHING EVEN A

CLOSE SECOND TO PORN ON

THE WORLD WIDE WEB TO

PORNOGRAPHY.

AND THEN THERE ARE POP-UPS

FOR THE KIDS.

I CONSTANTLY DEAL WITH

YOUNG MEN WHO GO GOT ADDICTED

AT 11, FROM A POP-UP.

IF IT COMES UP, IT TAKES

ALL OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD

IN YOU TO MOVE AWAY FROM

THAT SITE INSTEAD OF

FOLLOWING IT.

AND SO THE ENEMY IS SO

SUBTLE.

REMEMBER HOW PAUL USED TO

SAY THAT HE FEARED LEST

THE ENEMY THROUGH HIS

SUBTLENESS WOULD DECEIVE

YOU AS HE DID ADAM AND

EVE.

AND HE IS HAVING A HEY DAY HAY DAY

IN THE AREA OF

PORNOGRAPHY.

Pat: I REMEMBER ONE

OF THE ASSOCIATES OF

DOBSON WERE TALKING ABOUT

30% OF THE MINISTERS WERE

HAVING A PROBLEM WITH

PORN.

IS THAT IT?

THAT'S IT.

AND DOBSON, EVEN 25 YEARS

AGO, WAS SAYING HE FEARED

50% OF THE MEN IN THE

EVANGELICAL CHURCH WERE

ALREADY STRUGGLING WITH

PORNOGRAPHY.

Pat: IS THIS THE

GENERAL POPULATION?

OR IS IT AN ATTACK AGAINST

CHRISTIANS?

I THINK IT IS THE

GENERAL POPULATION, AND IT

CERTAINLY INCLUDES THE

CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

Pat: ALL RIGHT.

YOU'VE GOT THESE GUYS --

SOMEBODY COMES TO YOU AND

HE HAS THIS PROBLEM, WHAT

DO YOU DO TO HIM?

WE HAVE A MINISTRY

CALLED "BREAKING FREE."

IT PROBABLY AVERAGES 200

MEN EVERY MONDAY NIGHT.

SO THERE IS REAL

ACCOUNTABILITY.

I THINK WE MISSED IT IN

JAMES 5: 16, WHERE THE

SCRIPTURE TELLS US TO

CONFESS YOUR FAULTS ONE TO

ANOTHER AND PRAY FOR ONE

ANOTHER.

SO WE CONFESSED IT TO GOD

AND WE FEEL LIKE WE'VE GOT

GOD'S FORGIVENESS, BUT IT

IS A CYCLE.

AND WE NEED TO BREAK THE

CYCLE.

BUT I THINK WHEN WE BRING

ANOTHER MATURE BELIEVER IN

THAT WILL HOLD US

ACCOUNTABLE -- AND THAT'S

A BIG WORD,

"ACCOUNTABILITY" -- AND

THEN WE'RE SEEING REAL

VICTORY, WHERE MEN ARE

SHARING WITH THEIR WIVES.

BUT THE ENEMY WILL HAVE

THEM BELIEVE, IF THEY

SHARE, THEY'LL BE DEALING

WITH THE CONSEQUENCES

AGAIN.

SO THEY CONTINUE TO LIVE

IN ISOLATION.

Pat: WHAT DO THESE

WIVES DO.

SUDDENLY HER HUSBAND SAYS,

LOOK, HONEY, I'VE BEEN

HOOKED UP ON PORN, AND IF

HE SAYS, I'VE HAD AN

AFFAIR -- OH, YOU'VE HURT

ME AND I'M WALKING OUT AND

TAKING THE KIDS.

WHAT DO YOU DO TO KEEP THE

WIVES FROM FREAKING OUT?

A LOT OF TIMES IT IS

HELPING THEM UNDERSTAND IT

IS REALLY AN ADDICTION IN

THE PERSON'S LIFE.

SOMEONE MAY SAY THIS,

THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN DO

THAT AND LOVE YOUR WIFE AT

THE SAME TIME.

I WOULD CHALLENGE THAT

STATEMENT.

THE ENEMY IS OUT TO

DESTROY US.

I CALL HIM A GLORY STEALER

IN MY BOOK.

BECAUSE EPHESIANS SAYS GOD

WANT TO GET GLORY THROUGH

THE CHURCH.

BUT THE ENEMY STEALS THE

GLORY THAT GOD WOULD HAVE

GOTTEN FOR OUR LIVES.

AND WE WORK WITH THE WIVES

AS WELL.

A LOT OF TIMES THEY'VE

GOTTEN INTO PORNOGRAPHY,

AND THEY HAVEN'T MADE IT

TO THE AFFAIR.

IT IS PROBABLY WHERE IT IS

GOING TO END UP IF THEY

DON'T GET HELP.

SO IF THEY'RE WILLING TO

COME AND BE TRUE WITH

THEIR SPOUSES, A LOT OF

TIMES IT LEADS TO GREATER

INTIMACY BETWEEN THE

HUSBAND AND WIFE, BECAUSE

THE WIFE CAN NOW SAY, MY

HUSBAND CAN SHARE HIS

DEEPEST SECRETS WITH ME,

AND IT GIVES REAL HOPE FOR

THE MARRIAGE.

Pat: I'VE SEEN THESE

PEOPLE.

THESE VERY, YOU KNOW,

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN,

BEAUTIFULLY DRESSED, HIGH

FASHION, HIGH SOCIETY --

THEY'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH

THIS STUFF.

THEY'RE NOT JUST SOMEBODY

OFF THE STREET.

ATHLETETHESE ARE PROFESSIONAL

PEOPLE.

WELL, LIVING IN

ATLANTA, THE HIGHEST SEX

TRAFFICKING IN THE UNITED

STATES IS IN ATLANTA,

GEORGIA.

AND YET WE'RE FIVE MILLION

PEOPLE COMPARED TO

19 MILLION PEOPLE IN L.A.

COUNTY, OR 22 MILLION IN

NEW YORK.

SO IT IS EVERYWHERE.

WHETHER IT IS ON A

COMPUTER, WALKING THE

STREETS, ON A WEBSITE THAT

A PERSON CAN TRAVEL TO --

Pat: THIS HAS BECOME

A HUB OF SEX TRAFFICKING.

EXACTLY.

Pat: PEOPLE FROM

SOUTH AMERICA AND OTHER

COUNTRIES --

ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Pat: INTO ATLANTA?

INTO ATLANTA.

YOU CAN READ THE STATS ON

THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE

GIRL THAT IS INVOLVED, THE

AVERAGE AGE OF THE MAN

THAT IS LOOKING TO BE

INVOLVED.

THE AVERAGE SALARY OF A

PIMP IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA,

IS $30,000 A WEEK.

Pat: A WEEK?

NOT A YEAR?

$30,000 A WEEK.

Pat: IT IS PRETTY

LUCRATIVE.

AND WE'RE INVOLVED IN

SEX TRAFFICKING IN

BRINGING THESE YOUNG

LADIES OFF THE STREETS,

BUT WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

Pat: WHAT?

THEY WANT TO GO BACK.

THEIR PIMPS HAVE BEEN GOOD

TO THEM.

IT IS AMAZING WHAT THEY

ARE WILLING TO TAKE IF

THEY GET WHAT THEY FEEL

THEY WANT OR NEED AT THE

TIME.

Pat: YOU'RE SERIOUS?

VERY SERIOUS.

THE ONES WE BROUGHT INTO

VERY NICE HOMES, THE MAJOR

PROBLEM IS NOT THAT WE

CANNOT HELP THEM, BUT THEY

LEAVE BEFORE WE CAN GET

THEM DEEPLY INVOLVED IN

THE PROCESS.

Pat: ARE THESE

AMERICAN WOMEN OR

FOREIGNERS?

BOTH.

Pat: LADIES AND

GENTLEMEN, IF YOU WANT TO

GET SHOCKED, THIS IS IT.

EVERYBODY OUGHT TO GET

AHOLD OF THIS BOOK.

IT WAS THE NUMBER ONE

MEN'S RELEASE WHEN IT HIT

THE MARKET.

Pat: IT IS AVAILABLE.

I MUST SAY, AS ONE WHO

DESIGNS COVERS, THIS ISN'T

THE MOST ATTRACTIVE BOOK

COVER I HAVE EVER SEEN.

BUT IF THIS DOESN'T TURN

YOU OFF, I DON'T KNOW WHAT

WILL.

IT IS CALLED "DEMO DEMONISHING

STRONGHOLDS."

YOU CAN GET IT WHEREVER

BOOKS ARE SOLD.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO.

Pat: YOU WOULDN'T

BELIEVE IT.

AND YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT.

YOU WOMEN NEED TO

UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING

ON WITH YOUR HUSBANDS.

I REMEMBER ONE WOMAN I

ENCOUNTERED FROM OVERSEAS

SOME PLACE, AND SOME WITCH

HAD GOTTEN HOLD OF HER

HUSBAND.

AND I SAID, LOOK, HE HAS

BEEN CAPTURED.

YOU HAVE GOT TO GET HIM

FREE.

THESE GUYS ARE UNDER

ATTACK.

> ALL RIGHT, TERRY, ARE

YOU GOING TO TELL ANDY?

Terry: I GUESS SO.

GET THE BOOK.

> STILL AHEAD, WE'RE

GOING TO "BRING IT ON."

GRACE SAYS, "MY MOM SAYS I

NEED TO ASK GOD FOR

FORGIVENESS, BUT I DON'T

FEEL THAT WAY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, PAT?"

WELL, PAT IS GOING TO TELL

US EXACTLY WHAT HE THINKS,

AFTER THIS.

Terry: WELL, WE WANT

TO TAKE SOME TIME TO

"BRING IT ON" WITH SOME OF

THE QUESTIONS YOU ALL HAVE

SENT IN.

PAT, THIS FIRST ONE COMES

FROM, INTERESTINGLY

ENOUGH, GRACE.

"MY MOM SAYS I'M AT THE

AGE WHERE I KNOW RIGHT

FROM WRONG AND I NEED TO

ASK FOR FORGIVENESS FROM

GOD.

BUT I DON'T FEEL THAT WAY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT

THIS, PAT?"

Pat: WE USED TO HAVE

A BIG DISCUSSION IN THE

BAPTIST CHURCH ABOUT WHEN

SOMEONE REACHES THE AGE OF

ACCOUNTABILITY.

IF THERE IS NO LAW, YOU

DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LAW,

THEREFORE YOU'RE NOT

ACCOUNTABLE AND YOU'RE NOT

GUILTY.

AT WHAT POINT IS IT?

AGE SIX?

AGE SEVEN?

GRACE, I DON'T KNOW HOW

OLD YOU ARE.

IF YOU'RE THAT OLD, YOU'RE

OLD ENOUGH.

IF YOU'RE IN YOUR TEENS,

ABSOLUTELY.

I DON'T THINK YOU NEED TO,

AT AGE FIVE OR SIX, GO

INTO A BIG PENANCE AND MEA

CULPA TIME.

BUT IF THERE IS STUFF

YOU'RE DOING THAT YOU KNOW

IS WRONG, ASK GOD TO

FORGIVE YOU.

IF YOU SAY YOU DON'T FEEL

LIKE IT, MAYBE YOU DON'T

HAVE ANY SENSE YOU'VE DONE

SOMETHING WRONG.

THAT'S WHAT ACCOUNTABILITY

IS.

IF THERE IS NO LAW, THERE

IS NO OFFENSE.

Terry: AMY SAYS, "15

YEARS AGO I ATTENDED A

CHURCH AND I WAS BAPTIZED.

AFTER SO LONG I STOPPED

ATTENDING CHURCH AND I

DENIED GOD.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO COME TO

CHRIST AGAIN AFTER I

REPENT?"

Pat: OF COURSE IT IS.

GOD IS ALWAYS WILLING TO

RECEIVE US.

WE GET THESE QUESTIONS

OVER AND OVER AGAIN

BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY

PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE LORD

AND THEY FALL AWAY.

I DON'T KNOW IN YOUR CASE

WHETHER YOU REALLY WERE

SAVED, WHETHER YOU REALLY

CAME TO THE LORD.

I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT

YOU.

BUT I DO KNOW THIS:

WHATEVER IS GOING ON IN

YOUR HEART, GOD WILL

WELCOME YOU HOME.

IT IS LIKE A CHILD WHO HAS

WANDERED AWAY FROM HIS

PARENTS AND HAS LEFT THE

HOUSE.

LOOK AT THE PRODIGAL SON.

HE WASTED HIS SUBSTANCE ON

RIOTOUS LIVING, BUT HE

CAME HOME AND THE FATHER

GAVE A FEAST AND WELCOMED

HIM.

THAT'S THE DESCRIPTION OF

GOD ALMIGHTY.

HE OPENS HIS ARM AND

ACTUALLY RUNS TO YOU TO

LOVE YOU.

Terry: THIS IS ERIC,

PAT, WHO SAYS, "HOW CAN I

GET RESPECTED.

MY BROTHER AND

SISTER-IN-LAW MOVED INTO

MY MOTHER'S HOUSE AGAIN

FOR THE THIRD TIME IN THE

LAST FIVE YEARS.

THEY DON'T DO CHORES.

THEY LEAVE MESSES AND USE

ME AS A SLAVE.

I'M TIRED OF BAILING MY

BROTHER OUT OF JAIL.

HE AND HIS WIFE ARE USING

MY MOTHER AND ME.

I LOCK MYSELF IN MY ROOM

AND KNOW IT IS NOT

HEALTHY.

I WANT HELP."

Pat: MAN, I NEED TO

KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?

ARE YOU A TEENAGER?

ARE YOU AN ADULT?

WHAT IS YOUR STATUS.

YOUR BROTHER AND

SISTER-IN-LAW HAVE MOVED

INTO YOUR MOTHER'S HOUSE

AND THEY'VE TAKEN OVER.

I'LL TELL YOU, THE MOTHER,

IF SHE WANTS TO, CAN GET A

COURT ORDER, A RESTAINING

ORDER, AND THROW THESE

PEOPLE OUT, AND SHE NEEDS

TO.

THEY'RE FREE LOADERS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO

SAY.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE

THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO

THAT.

YOU AND YOUR MOTHER NEED

TO BE IN AGREEMENT THAT

WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE

DOING IS WRONG.

Terry: THIS IS

JULYIAN WHO

JULY

JULIAN WHO SAYS, "THE BOOK

OF REVELATION SAYS THERE

WILL BE, QUOTE, "A NEW

HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH."

"WILL BE GIVEN THE CHOICE

TO LIVE IN HEAVEN?"

Pat: IT WILL BE SO

WONDERFUL YOU'LL WANT TO

ENJOY ALL OF IT.

THE EARTH WILL BE

MARVELOUS.

I WAS READING TODAY, AND I

REMEMBER COLONEL WILSON

BROUGHT THIS OUT, AND HE

WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, WE

THINK OF THE RAPTURE AS

THE GOOD PEOPLE BEING

TAKEN OUT OF THE EARTH,

AND THE EARTH BEING LEFT

FOR ALL OF THE BAD PEOPLE.

BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT JESUS

TAUGHT.

HE SAID, IN THE LATTER DAY

THE ANGELS WILL COME AND

TAKE OUT OF MY KINGDOM ALL

THOSE WHO HAVE SINNED AND

CAST THEM INTO OUTER

DARKNESS.

AND THEN THE RIGH RIGHTEOUSNESS

WILL SHINE FORTH.

I THINK THIS EARTH THAT IS

SET UP IS A PRETTY GOOD

PLACE, AND GOD WILL RENEW

IT.

NEVERTHELESS, THIS IS

GOING TO BE THE PLACE

WHERE THE RIGHTEOUS ARE

GOING TO BE.

AND YOU SAY, WHERE WILL

YOU LIVE?

YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT AN

AWFUL LOT TO LEARN ABOUT

THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND THE

UNIVERSE WE LIVE IN.

I DON'T KNOW.

I'M ASKING FOR WISDOM ON

IT BECAUSE IT IS SO VAST.

YOU SAY, WHERE WILL YOU

LIVE?

YOU'LL LIVE IN THE MIDDLE

OF GOD'S KINGDOM.

AND IF YOU'RE PART OF THE

CHOSEN WHO HAVE ACCEPTED

HIM, IT WILL BE THE MOST

WONDERFUL THING YOU COULD

EVER IMAGINE.

> WE LEAVE YOU WITH THIS

POWER MINUTE FROM MATTHEW:

"HE SHALL GIVE HIS ANGELS

CHARGE OVER YOU, AND IN

HIS HANDS, THEY SHALL

BLESS YOU."

THAT'S ABOUT ALL OF THE

TIME WE'VE GOT.

THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.

TERRY, IT IS ALWAYS A JOY.

GOD BLESS YOU, WE'LL SEE

YOU TOMORROW, BYE-BYE.

Terry: THANK YOU,

PAT.
