Wendy: COMING UP...

THAT HAPPENS.

Wendy: ...A FREAK

ACCIDENT.

I SAID, I DON'T WANT TO

DIE.

I'M A BASEBALL PLAYER.

I'M A PITCHER.

AND I SAID, YOU DON'T WANT

TO DIE, BUDDY.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY.

Wendy: OUR WEEK OF

PRAYER CONTINUES.

ON TODAY'S "700 CLUB."

*

Pat: WELL, WELCOME,

FOLKS, TO THIS EDITION OF

"THE 700 CLUB."

IF PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS HIS

WAY, YOU AND ALL OF US

WILL HAVE MORE MONEY IN

OUR COLLECTIVE POCKETS,

AND BUSINESSES WILL HAVE

MORE MONEY TO EXPAND,

CREATE JOBS, AND PAY

HIGHER WAGES.

THOSE ARE THE GOALS BEHIND

THE PRESIDENT'S TAX CUT

PLAN.

Terry: THE

PRESIDENT'S TEAM ALSO

WANTS TO MAKE YOUR TAXES

SIMPLER AND EASIER TO

FILE.

THAT'S A HALLELUJAH.

CBN NEWS WHITE HOUSE

CORRESPONDENT JENNIFER

WISHON BRINGS US THIS

STORY FROM WASHINGTON.

Jennifer: 80 YEARS

AGO AMERICANS ONLY HAD TO

DEAL WITH A ONE-PAGE TAX

FORM, WITH 24 LINES AND

ONLY A FEW INSTRUCTIONS.

TODAY THE FORM HAS 79

LINES AND MORE THAN 200

PAGES OF INSTRUCTIONS.

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PLAN

PROMISES TO GREATLY

SIMPLIFY THE TAX CODE AND

MUCH MORE.

WE'RE GOING TO CUT

TAXES FOR BUSINESSES, TO

MAKE THEM COMPETITIVE.

AND WE'RE GOING TO CUT

TAXES FOR THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY LOW AND

MIDDLE INCOME FAMILIES.

Jennifer: THE PLAN

REDUCES SEVEN PERSONAL TAX

BRACKETS TO THREE, OF 10,

25, AND 35%, AND LOWERS

THE BUSINESS TAX RATE TO

15%.

ERACES ALL PERSONAL TAX

DEDUCTIONS EXCEPT FOR

CHARITABLE GIVING AND

MORTGAGE INTEREST.

IT GETS RID OF THE

ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX,

AND ONCE AND FOR ALL

ELIMINATES THE ESTATE TAX.

WE'RE GOING TO DOUBLE

THE STANDARD DEDUCTION, SO

THAT A MARRIED COUPLE

WON'T PAY ANY TAXES ON THE

FIRST $24,000 OF INCOME

THEY EARN.

Jennifer: BUT SOME

REPUBLICANS WHO RAN ON

REDUCING THE NATIONAL DEBT

AND DEFICIT FEAR THE

PRESIDENT'S PLAN FURTHER

COMPLICATES THE SITUATION.

SENIOR ADMINISTRATION

OFFICIALS SAY THOSE FEARS

WON'T BE REALIZED.

THIS WILL PAY FOR

ITSELF WITH GROWTH AND

WITH REDUCTION OF

DIFFERENT DEDUCTIONS AND

CLOSING LOOPHOLES.

Jennifer: THE GRITTY

DETAILS ARE STILL BEING

WORKED OUT, BUT THROUGH

TAX CUTS AND REFORM,

CUTTING FEDERAL

REGULATIONS AND REPEALING

AND REPLACING OBAMACARE,

THE PRESIDENT BELIEVES THE

NATION CAN RETURN TO THE

HISTORIC AVERAGE OF 3%

ANNUAL GROWTH, SOMETHING

PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS NEVER

ABLE TO ACHIEVE.

REPUBLICANS ARE MAKING

ANOTHER PROMISE AS WELL.

AND WE WILL HAVE AN

I.R.S. THAT EXISTS ONLY TO

SERVE THE TAXPAYER.

Jennifer: IN A SIGN

OF UNITY, HOUSE AND SENATE

LEADERS ISSUED A JOINT

STATEMENT WRITING: "WITH

AN EYE TOWARDS FAIRNESS

AND SIMPLICITY, WE'RE

CONFIDENT WE CAN REBUILD

OUR TAX CODE IN A WAY THAT

WILL GROW OUR ECONOMY,

BETTER PROMOTE SAVINGS AND

INVESTMENT, PROVIDE OUR

JOB CREATORS WITH A

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE, AND

BRING PROSPERITY TO ALL

AMERICANS."

BUT PENNSYLVANIA SENATOR,

BOB CASEY, A DEMOCRAT WHO

SITS ON THE SENATE FINANCE

COMMITTEE, CALLS THE

PRESIDENT'S PLAN A MASSIVE

TAX GIVE-AWAY TO

MILLIONAIRES,

BILLIONAIRES, AND BIG

CORPORATIONS AT THE

EXPENSE OF MIDDLE-CLASS

FAMILIES.

AND THOSE CRITICISMS COULD

MEAN REPUBLICANS COULD BE

ON THEIR OWN WHEN IT COMES

TO PASSING THE BIGGEST

ATTEMPT AT TAX REFORM AND

TAX CUTS SINCE RONALD

REAGAN DID IT MORE THAN 30

YEARS AGO.

Pat: WELL, YOU KNOW,

JENNIFER IS WITH US RIGHT

NOW FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.

I'M SO SICK OF HEARING

THIS MANTRA, WELL, IT IS A

TAX CULT FOR THE RICH.

CUT FOR THE RICH, AND

THEY'RE GOING TO DOUBLE

THE STANDARD DEDUCTION FOR

THE POOR PEOPLE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

THIS IS OFF TO A GOOD

START.

THE PRESIDENT WANTED THE

OUTLINE OF HIS TAX PLAN TO

GET OUT BEFORE HIS 100

DAYS OR OVER WITHOUT ALL

OF THE DETAILS.

YESTERDAY SPEAKER PAUL

RYAN SAID THIS IS VERY

MUCH IN LINE WITH WHAT HE

WANTS TO SEE.

WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE

WHITE HOUSE WORKING VERY

CLOSELY OVER THE NEXT

WEEKS WITH BOTH THE HOUSE

AND THE SENATE MONEY

COMMITTEES, WRITING THE

DETAILS OF THIS

LEGISLATION SO THERE IS

BUY-IN FROM THE GROUND

FLOOR.

BECAUSE AS YOU REMEMBER

WITH THE HEALTH CARE BILL,

THE CONSERVATIVE FOLKS IN

THE HOUSE FELT LEFT OUT

BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T PART

OF THAT WRITING PROCESS.

SO THEY'RE REALLY TRYING

TO DO THIS THE RIGHT WAY.

AND IT IS OFF TO A GREAT

START.

I THINK THAT SO FAR, SO

GOOD RIGHT NOW.

Pat: OBVIOUSLY THEY

CAN PASS IT IN THE HOUSE,

WHICH IS THE TAX-WRITING

BODY, AND I BELIEVE TALK

TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE

HOUSE WAYS AND MEANS

COMMITTEE, AND THEY'VE GOT

A SUBURB PLAN.

WHAT ABOUT THE SENATE?

HAVE THEY GOT THAT NEW

RULE IN WHERE THE BILL CAN

GO THROUGH WITH A SIMPLE

MAJORITY?

Jennifer: WELL, YOU

KNOW, THEY'RE HOPING --

THEY'RE GOING TO NEED SOME

DEMOCRATS' SUPPORT FOR

THIS.

AND WE'VE HEARD SOME

DEMOCRATS ALREADY COMING

OUT AGAINST THIS.

BUT, AGAIN, WE'RE STILL

WAITING FOR THE DETAILS,

PAT.

AMERICANS JUST DID THEIR

TAXES, AND I DON'T KNOW

ANY AMERICAN WHO DOESN'T

WANT TO HAVE A SIMPLER TAX

CODE.

I MEAN, YOU DON'T WANT TO

FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO GO

TO AN ACCOUNTANT TO FIGURE

OUT HOW TO DO YOUR TAXES.

THERE ARE 199 TAX FORMS

ASSOCIATED WITH THE 1040.

AND ACCORDING TO THE WHITE

HOUSE, AMERICANS SPEND

SEVEN BILLION HOURS A

YEAR, PAT, JUST TRYING TO

FIGURE OUT THEIR TAXES.

SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, THIS

IS CERTAINLY A HEAVY LIFT.

THAT'S WHY CONGRESS AND

PRESIDENTS HAVEN'T

ATTEMPTED THIS SINCE THE

GIPPER DID BACK IN THE

'80s.

BUT IT IS KIND OF THE

RIGHT TIME TO DO THIS.

Pat: THE AMAZING

THING IS THEY'RE CUTTING

ALL OF THE DEDUCTIONS.

THEY'RE NOT KEEPING

ANYBODY'S SPECIAL

INTERESTS EXCEPT MORTGAGE

DEDUCTIONS AND CHARITABLE

DEDUCTIONS.

THAT'S AMAZING.

Jennifer: THAT'S

AMAZING.

AND THAT IS ANOTHER RESULT

OF HAVING A PRESIDENT WHO

IS COMING FROM THE

OUTSIDE.

HE IS A BUSINESS GUY.

HE IS NOT BEHOLDEN TO ALL

OF THE SPECIAL INTERESTS

WHO MAY HAVE HELPED OTHER

POLITICIANS ALONG THE WAY

TO REACH THE WHITE HOUSE.

HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY OF

THAT.

WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS

TAKING THIS PRESIDENT'S

CAMPAIGN PROMISES AND

THEY'RE TURNING THEM INTO

POLICY.

AND WE'VE SEEN THAT OVAND OVER

AND OVER AGAIN, AND THE

TAX PLAN IS ANOTHER

EXAMPLE OF THAT.

Pat: JENNIFER, THE

HEALTH CARE BILL LOOKED

LIKE IT WAS DEAD, AND NOW

THE FREEDOM CAUCUS IS

SAYING THEY'RE ON BOARD.

AND THERE ARE SOME

DISCUSSIONS WE MIGHT GET

THE THING DONE BEFORE THE

END OF THE WEEK.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Jennifer: THAT

DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ASK.

ON THE HILL, THERE ARE

SOME LAWMAKERS WHO ARE

VERY CONFIDENT THIS IS

GOING TO HAPPEN TOMORROW.

OTHERS ARE SAYING IT MAY

BE NEXT WEEK.

ONE THING FOR SURE,

SPEAKER RYAN IS NOT GOING

TO PUT THIS OUT THERE

UNTIL HE HAS THE VOTES

THIS TIME.

BUT THEY'RE GETTING VERY,

VERY CLOSE, AND THIS WILL

BE A BIG VICTORY FOR THIS

PRESIDENT AND FOR HOUSE

REPUBLICANS.

Pat: THANK YOU,

JENNIFER WISHON, REPORTING

FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.

TERRY?

Terry: ONE OF THE

THINGS THAT IS INTERESTING

ABOUT THIS IS THEY'RE

TALKING ABOUT THE FACT

THAT THIS IS SUCH A

RADICAL MOVE, AND IT

HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE THE

GIPPER, BUT EVERYBODY

LOVED THE GIPPER DURING

THE ELECTION PROCESS, OWN

BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE.

Pat: HE DIDN'T HAVE

NEARLY THE FIRE POWER THAT

TRUMP HAD BECAUSE HE HAD A

DEMOCRAT, TIP O'NEILL AS

SPEAKER.

I BELIEVE THIS TIME IT IS

GOING TO THROUGH AS WELL.

I THINK THE REPUBLICANS

WILL SAY YES, STAND IN

LINE, AND IT WILL GO

THROUGH THE HOUSE.

I CAN'T IMAGINE THE

DEMOCRATS STANDING UP FOR

HIGHER TAXES.

THEY'RE SAYING, WE ARE

TRYING TO PROTECT THE

BUDGET SO WE DON'T RUN

DEFICITS.

WELL, THEY ARE NOTORIOUSLY

BAD BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO

CONTEMPLATE THAT CUTTING

TAXES WILL SPUR GROWTH,

AND THEY DON'T BUILD

GROWTH INTO THEIR FIGURES.

AND WHAT TRUMP IS SAYING

IS WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE

THE FUTURE AND MAKE IT

BETTER.

Terry: WE'LL KEEP YOU

POSTED.

Pat: TERRY, WHAT'S

NEXT?

Terry: COMING UP,

THREE-FOURTHS OF ALL

HEROIN ADDICTS STARTED

WITH PRESCRIPTION

PAINKILLERS.

BECAUSE YOU GET ALMOST

THE SAME THING, EXCEPT

HEROIN IS JUST STRONGER

AND IT IS CHEAPER AND IT

IS MORE AVAILABLE, WHICH

IS THE SCARY PART.

Terry: SO WHAT'S

BEING DONE TO FIGHT

AMERICA'S EPIDEMIC OPIOID

ADDICTIONS?

YOU'LL FIND OUT AFTER

THIS.

Terry: THIS SPRING

Terry: THIS SPRING

MARKS THE 50th

ANNIVERSARY OF ISRAEL'S

SIX-DAY WAR.

CBN IS RELEASING A BRAND

NEW DOCUMENTARY CALLED "IN

OUR HANDS: THE BATTLE FOR

JERUSALEM."

THIS DRAMATIC FILM TELLS

THE STORY OF THE

COURAGEOUS SOLDIERS WHO

REUNITED JERUSALEM AND

THEN ANNOUNCED TO THE

WORLD THE TEMPLE MOUNT IS

IN OUR HANDS.

WE INVITE YOU TO ATTEND A

VERY SPECIAL ONE-NIGHT

EVENT HAPPENING ON MAY

23rd IN CINEMAS ACROSS

AMERICA.

AND YOU'LL SEE A SPECIAL

PRESENTATION BY GORDON

ROBERTSON ON THE PROPHETIC

SIGNIFICANCE OF JERUSALEM

AND WHY THAT ANCIENT CITY

STILL DOMINATES HEADLINES

TODAY.

YOU CAN GET YOUR TICKETS

TODAY BY GOING TO

inourhands1967.com.

YOU'LL HELP SUPPORT CBN

DOCUMENTARIES AND ISRAEL

AS WE TELL THE WORLD THE

TRUE STORY OF JERUSALEM

AND ITS PEOPLE.

SO DON'T MISS IT.

MAY 23rd.

PAT?

Pat: YOU KNOW, WE'RE

HAVING A WEEK OF PRAYER.

Terry: YES, WE ARE.

Pat: THE CALL VOLUME

TO THIS PROGRAM OF PEOPLE

ASKING FOR PRAYER IS 70%

ABOVE LAST YEAR.

70%.

THE PEOPLE HAVE GOT A LOT

OF NEEDS AND THEY'RE

CALLING FOR PRAYER.

SO DON'T HESITATE TO CALL.

> WELL, AN ESTIMATED 91

PEOPLE DIE EVERY DAY IN

AMERICA FROM WHAT IS

CALLED OPIOID OVERDOSES.

ALTHOUGH THE REAL NUMBER

IS PROBABLY MUCH HIGHER

THAN THAT.

OPIOIDS ARE TYPES OF DRUGS

THAT INCLUDE HEROIN AND

ITS CHEMICAL COUSINS,

PRESCRIPTION PAINKILLERS.

AS LORIE JOHNSON SHOWS US,

THIS WIDESPREAD EPIDEMIC

IS ESPECIALLY BAD IN THE

HEARTLAND STATE OF OHIO,

WHICH HAS 11% OF THE

NATION'S HEROIN DEATHS.

Lorie: OHIO POLICE

DISCOVER A 4-YEAR-OLD WITH

HIS GRANDMOTHER AND HER

BOYFRIEND BOTH OVERDOSED

ON HEROIN.

SCENES FAR TOO COMMON

THESE DAYS.

HEROIN IS TRANSFORMING

WHOLESOME, SMALL TOWNS

ACROSS THE BUCKEYE STATE.

FOR EXAMPLE, HERE IN

MARION, ONE OF THE

HARDEST-HIT AREAS, POLICE

RESPONDED TO 12 HEROIN

OVERDOSES IN JUST THREE

DAYS.

MATT GOSSERT FOUGHT A

HEROIN ADDICTION FOR FIVE

YEARS.

AND THE DRUGS, THEY

JUST COMPLETELY DEADEN ANY

EMOTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

I TURNED TO CRIME.

I TURNED TO ANYTHING I HAD

TO DO TO GET THE DRUG.

I STARTED SELLING DRUGS.

Lorie: LIKE

THREE-FOURTHS OF ALL

HEROIN ADDICTS, MATT'S

DESCENT STARTED WITH

PRESCRIPTION PAINKILLERS.

BECAUSE IT IS ALMOST

THE SAME THING, EXCEPT FOR

HEROIN IS STRONGER AND IT

IS CHEAPER, AND IT IS MORE

AVAILABLE, WHICH IS THE

SCARY PART.

Lorie: OHIO

ATTORNEY-GENERAL MIKE

DUWINE CREATED A SPECIFIC

HEROIN UNIT TO TAKE ON

THIS EPIDEMIC.

HE SAYS THE DRUG NO LONGER

COMES FROM FAR AWAY

PLACES, LIKE AFGHANISTAN.

A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO,

THE MEXICAN CARTEL DECIDED

TO GO I GROW IT DOWN THERE, AND

THEY BRING IT ACROSS THE

BORDER AND INTO THE

STATES.

Lorie: THE DESIRE FOR

THE ULTIMATE HIGH HAS LED

TO EVEN DEADLIER

CONCOCTIONS, INCLUDING

FENNEFENTANYL AND CARFENTANIL.

WE'LL SEE SOMETIMES IN

A WEEKEND ONE COMMUNITY,

WHERE THERE WILL BE FIVE,

10, 15 PEOPLE DIE.

Lorie: HE WANTS

EDUCATION ON THIS PROBLEM,

STARTING AS EARLY AS

KINDERGARTEN.

AND HE HAS ALSO GONE TO

OHIO'S CHURCH LEADERS FOR

HELP.

THE PROGRAMS THAT WORK,

THE TREATMENT THAT WORKS,

MANY TIMES HAS A

FAITH-BASED COMPONENT PART

TO IT.

Lorie: MATT CAN VOUCH

FOR THAT.

AFTER A NUMBER OF FAILED

ATTEMPTS, THE CHRISTIAN

TREATMENT CENTER FINALLY

MADE THE DIFFERENCE.

I BELIEVE THAT JESUS

CHRIST IS THE ONLY ANSWER.

I BELIEVE THERE IS NO

OTHER ANSWER, OTHER THAN

CHRIST.

Lorie: HE NOW LEADS A

CHRISTIAN RECOVERY

MINISTRY THAT WORKS WITH

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL AND

PASTORS ACROSS OHIO TO

ENSURE EACH CHURCH IN THE

STATE OFFERS AN ADDICTION

SPECIALIST.

THERE IS SOMEBODY IN

EVERY CHURCH IN THIS STATE

THAT HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY

DOCK, I GUARANTEE IT.

Lorie: HERE AT THE

STATE CAPITAL IN COLUMBUS,

OFFICIALS ARE CLAMPING

DOWN WHERE MANY BELIEVE

HEROIN ADDICTION STARTS:

IN THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE.

PHYSICIANS ARE ONLY

ALLOWED TO PRESCRIBE ONE

WEEK WORTH OF PAINKILLERS

OR RISK LOSING THEIR

LICENSE TO PRACTICE

MEDICINE.

BEFORE DOCTORS WOULD OFTEN

PRESCRIBE ENOUGH FOR A

FULL MONTH.

WE HAD A NUMBER OF

PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES

THAT DEVELOPED PAIN MEDS,

AND THEY WERE PUSHING

THOSE OUT, AND THEY WERE

TELLING THE DOCTORS, THESE

ARE NOT VERY ADDICTIVE.

IT TURNS OUT THEY ARE VERY

ADDICTIVE.

Lorie: DOCTORS CAN

STILL PRESCRIBE

PAINKILLERS FOR PEOPLE

WITH CHRONIC OR LONG-TERM

PAIN, BUT IS THAT THE

RIGHT TREATMENT?

DR. KRISHNA, A

NEUROSURGEON, SAYS THEY

CAN CAUSE MEMORY LOSS AND

CONSTIPATION.

THESE PAIN MEDICATIONS

ARE NOT THAT EFFECTIVE IF

YOU TAKE THEM LONG-TERM.

AND IT INHIBITS THE BODY'S

CONTROL SYSTEMS.

Lorie: HE RECOMMENDS

NON OPIOID PAIN RELIEF,

INCLUDING SURGERY,

ACUPUNCTURE, STEROID

INJECTIONS, WEIGHT LOSS

AND EXERCISE, HEAT, AND AN

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DIET,

HIGH IN VEGETABLES AND LOW

AND SUGAR.

STILL, PAIN MEDS ARE

EXTREMELY COMMON AMONG THE

100 MILLION AMERICANS WITH

CHRONIC PAIN.

IT WAS CONSTANT.

IT WAS ALL THE TIME.

I NEVER HAD ANY TIME

WITHOUT PAIN.

Lorie: DESPITE HER

CHRONIC BACK PAIN, ANDREA

REFUSED TO TAKE OPIOIDS.

IT IS TOO EASY TO GET

HOOKED ON THE PAIN

MEDICINE.

I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO

HAVE, AND IT DESTROYS YOUR

LIFE.

Lorie: INSTEAD,

DR. KRISHNA IMPLANTED A

SMALL ELECTRODE ON THE

SURFACE OF HER SPINAL

CORD.

IT RECEIVES PULSES FROM A

LITTLE PACEMAKER,

THEREFORE BLOCKING THE

PAIN IMPULSE.

A TYPICAL PATIENT WOULD

BE SOMEBODY WHO HAS HAD

BACK SURGERY BEFORE AND IS

STILL HAVING BACK PAIN AND

LEG PAIN, AND ARE TAKING A

SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PAIN

MEDICATIONS.

Lorie: MOST PATIENTS

WITH STIMULATORS RECEIVE

SOME RELIEF, ABOUT A

THIRD, PAIN-FREE.

IT HAS BEEN NIGHT AND

DAY.

IT HAS BEEN WONDERFUL.

I DON'T REALLY EVEN NOTICE

THAT I HAVE IT IN.

YOU GET USED TO THE

FEELING.

Lorie: SO WHILE THE

HEROIN CRISIS RAGES,

PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING BACK

WITH AWARENESS,

CHRIST-CENTERED

TREATMENTS, AND MINIMIZING

PAIN PILLS.

LORIE JOHNSON, CBN NEWS.

Pat: THANKS, LORIE, A

TREMENDOUS REPORT.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOU

WOULDN'T THINK IT IS IN

THE HEARTLAND OF AMERICA,

BUT WHERE IS IT COMING?

FROM THE MEXICAN BORDER

AND THE CARTEL.

WHATEVER IT IS -- YOU MAY

HAVE AN ACHE OR PAIN, BUT

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T

TAKE OPIOIDS IF YOU CAN

POSSIBLY AVOID THEM.

TERRY?

Terry: WELL, UP NEXT,

A 12-YEAR-OLD BASEBALL

PLAYER HAS A FREAK

ACCIDENT ON HIS FAMILY'S

FARM.

THERE WAS A BOAT

STICKING OUT AND IT RIPPED

THE SHIRT AND JACKET OFF

OF HIM AND RIPPED HIS ARM

OFF.

Terry: SEE THE

MIRACLE THAT GOT THIS BOY

SLUGGING AGAIN.

PLUS, WE'LL BE PRAYING FOR

YOU AS OUR WEEK OF PRAYER

CONTINUES, SO DON'T GO

AWAY.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

Terry: YESTERDAY WE

GATHERED IN THE REGENT

UNIVERSITY CHAPEL TO PRAY

FOR YOU, OUR PARTNERS AND

VIEWERS.

OUR GUEST SPEAKER WITH

CHRISTY WINBURG.

TAKE A LOOK.

WE BELIEVE YOU, LORD.

AND WE THESE PRECIOUS

PARTNERS, THIS IS OUR

CONFESSION: YOU'RE

GREATER, LORD.

DO A MIGHTY WORK.

IN JESUS' NAME, RECEIVE

OUR PRAYER.

AMEN.

MOST OF THE CHOICES WE

HAVE IN TRIAL AND

TEMPTATION AND SUFFERING,

AND THE THINGS WE WOULD

NEVER, EVER PICK ARE THE

THINGS THAT SOMETIMES GOD

DOES HIS DEEPEST AND BEST

WORK IN US.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,

WE ALWAYS WANT A MIRACLE.

WE JUST DON'T WANT TO LIVE

IN THE PLACE WHERE WE

ACTUALLY NEED A MIRACLE.

GOD'S KINGDOM IS

ADVANCING, WHETHER OR NOT

WE FEEL IT OR NOT.

WHETHER OR NOT WE FEEL IT,

WHETHER OR NOT WE SEE IT,

GOD IS AT WORK.

Terry: WELL, WE

INVITE YOU TO JOIN US

EVERY DAY THIS WEEK.

PAT MENTIONED EARLIER,

WE'RE IN OUR WEEK OF

PRAYER HERE.

AND SO ALL THIS WEEK AT

NOON EASTERN TIME, YOU CAN

JOIN US.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOG

ON TO cbn.com IF YOU'D

LIKE THE LIVE STREAM OF

OUR CHAPEL.

TODAY'S SPEAKER IS GOING

TO BE DAVID GREEN, THE

FOUNDER OF HOBBY LOBBY.

AND IF YOU HAVE A PRAYER

REQUEST, CALL

1-800-700-7000.

OR YOU CAN LOG ON TO

cbn.com.

BUT WE WOULD LOVE TO BE

ABLE TO ADD YOU TO OUR

PRAYERS THIS WEEK.

Pat: WE'RE SURROUNDED

BY SO MANY PRAYERS AND SO

MANY PRAYER REQUESTS.

AS I SAID, OUR VOLUME OF

CALLS ON THIS PARTICULAR

WEEK OF PRAYER IS 70%

HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR.

SOMEBODY SAID, I'VE GOT

FEAR, ANXIETY, AND

DEPRESSION.

THEY ALL GO TOGETHER.

PERFECT PEACE HAVE THEY

WHO LOVE THE LORD.

AND NOTHING SHALL OFFEND

THEM.

BUT THOSE WHO DON'T LOVE

THE LAW GET IN PROBLEM.

> SALVATION FOR MY

SPOUSE, CHILDREN, AND

GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN.

> HEALING FRO FOR MY EYES

FROM MACULAR GENERATION.

> SOMEBODY ELSE, THEY

WANT THEIR BUSINESS TO

SELL SO THEY CAN GET BACK

TO THE MISSIONS FIELD.

> WE'RE GOING TO BE

PRAYING FOR YOU, BUT,

FIRST, THIS IS AN AMAZING

STORY, AMAZING.

A YOUNG BASEBALL PLAYER --

HE -- WELL, HE BEGINS HIS

LIFE AFTER HIS PITCHING

ARM IS CAUGHT IN A PIECE

OF FARM EQUIPMENT AND

ACTUALLY RIPPED FROM HIS

LITTLE BODY.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT IS

NOTHING SHORT OF A

JAW-DROPPING MIRACLE.

[SIRENS]

Reporter: NOVEMBER 7,

2015, E.M.T. JOE RESPONDS

TO A 9-1-1 CALL TO A HOME

IN RURAL PENNSYLVANIA.

HE ARRIVES TO FIND

12-YEAR-OLD SETH ABEL

LYING ON THE GROUND,

BLEEDING FROM WHERE HIS

RIGHT ARM USED TO BE.

HE SAID, I WANT TO DIE.

I'M A BASEBALL PLAYER.

I'M A PITCHER.

AND I SAID, YOU DON'T WANT

TO DIE, BUDDY.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY.

Reporter: SETH HAD

BEEN DUMPING FIREWOOD,

USING A TRAILER.

IT WAS STILL RUNNING WHEN

SETH TRIED USING A STICK

TO FIX A GEAR CHAIN ON THE

TRAILER THAT HAD COME

LOOSE.

IT WAS THE LAST THING HE

REMEMBERS.

IT WAS A FREAK

ACCIDENT.

THERE WAS A BOLT STICKING

OUT OF THE SHAFT THAT GOT

CAUGHT, AND IT RIPPED THE

SHIRT AND JACKET OFF OF

HIM AND RIPPED HIS ARM

OFF.

Reporter: SETH'S

GRANDFATHER CAME OUT WHEN

HE HEARD THE SCREAMS AND

CALLED 9-1-1.

LESS THAN A MILE AWAY,

SETH'S DAD, JOSH, WAS

STILL CUTTING FIREWOOD,

UNAWARE OF WHAT HAD

HAPPENED.

AND THAT'S WHEN I JUST

STARTED WALKING DOWN THE

HILL.

AND THAT'S WHEN I SAW THEM

ALL COMING UP OUT OF THE

HILL.

AND HE SAID, SETH,

SOMETHING HAPPENED.

Reporter: AT THE

TIME, SETH'S MOTHER,

ANGIE, WAS AT A FRIEND'S

HOUSE, 30 MILES AWAY.

I KNEW SOMETHING WAS

WRONG, AND ALL SHE SAID

WAS, IT'S SETH.

IT'S SETH.

BUT I COULDN'T GET OUT OF

HER WHAT HAD HAPPENED OR

WHAT WAS WRONG.

DURING THE WHOLE DRIVE, I

WAS PRAYING, GOD, TELL ME

HE IS ALIVE.

AND THAT VOICE THAT I

HEARD WAS GOD SAYING

EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE

OKAY.

THAT'S ALL I COULD GET.

AND I WAS, LIKE, NO, I

KNOW EVERYTHING IS GOING

TO BE OKAY, BUT I WANT TO

KNOW THAT HE IS GOING TO

BE ALIVE.

Reporter: BY NOW THE

AMBULANCE HAD TAKEN SETH

AND HIS SEVERED ARM TO A

DESIGNATED LANDING ZONE.

JOSH ARRIVED MOMENTS

LATER.

THE THING THAT HITS ME

IS HE IS SO YOUNG.

I JUST WANT TO SEE

JESUS -- THAT'S WHAT HE IS

SCREAMING -- I JUST WANT

TO GO SEE JESUS.

Reporter: AS ANGIE

GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE,

SHE SAW THE HELICOPTER, A

SIGN THAT GOD HAD ANSWERED

HER PRAYER.

AND I JUST STARTED

PRAISING GOD BECAUSE I

KNEW THAT THERE WAS A

HELICOPTER.

HE WASN'T DEAD.

Reporter: SOON AFTER

SHE ARRIVED, THE CHOPPER

LEFT FOR CHILDREN'S

HOSPITAL IN PITTSBURGH,

WITH SETH AND HIS DAD ON

BOARD.

NOW THEY WERE IN A RACE

AGAINST THE CLOCK TO SAVE

THE BOY'S ARM.

PLASTIC SURGEON LORLI

GRUNTWALD HAD BEEN CALLED

IN TO ASSIST IN THE

SURGERY.

I THINK WHAT FIRST WENT

THROUGH MY HEAD IS THAT

THE NERVES WERE TORN.

SO TECHNICALLY, THE

PATIENT ISN'T A GREAT

CANDIDATE FOR

REIMPLANTATION.

I GO TO MY PHONE, AND I

START TEXTING EVERYONE

THAT SETH WAS IN AN

ACCIDENT, PRAY FOR HIM.

IT WAHIM.

AND WITHIN AN HOUR,

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WERE

SAYING THEY WERE PRAYING.

Reporter: IN THE

OPERATING ROOM, THEY

THOUGHT THAT THE DAMAGE TO

SETH'S ARM WAS TOO GREAT

TO BE REATTACHED.

DR. GRUNTWALD WAS THE

EXCEPTION.

I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH

A SHOT.

Reporter: IT WASN'T

UNTIL ANGIE ARRIVED TWO

HOURS LATER THAT THE

SURGEON CAME OUT TO TELL

THEM WHAT THEY WERE

ATTEMPTING.

OUR JAWS KIND OF HIT

THE FLOOR.

YOU DID WHAT?

YOU REATTACHED IT?

SO WE HAD SOMETHING MORE

SPECIFIC TO PRAY FOR.

Reporter: BY NOW,

WORD WAS GETTING OUT ON

SOCIAL MEDIA, AND

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WERE

PRAYING.

IN SURGERY, DOCTORS WORKED

TO REPAIR THE THOUSANDS OF

SEVERED BLOOD VESSELS,

NERVES, AND ARTERIES.

AFTER SIX HOURS, THEY HAD

SUCCESSFULLY REATTACHED

SETH'S ARM.

THE FIRST 48 HOURS WERE

CRITICAL.

ALL THE FAMILY COULD DO

WAS WAIT AND PRAY.

IT WAS JUST GOD.

I MEAN, IT'S FUNNY, UNTIL

YOU'RE IN THAT SITUATION,

YOU DON'T THINK YOU WOULD

HAVE THE STRENGTH, BUT HE

GIVES IT TO YOU.

Reporter: SETH WOKE

UP 24 HOURS LATER WITH A

BIBLE SCRIPTURE ON HIS

MIND.

PHILIPPIANS 20: 14.

I SAID, "I CAN DO ALL

THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO

STRENGTHENS ME."

I DIDN'T REALIZE HIS

FAITH WAS SO STRONG.

I WAS JUST REALLY PROUD OF

HIM.

I KNOW HE HAS A DETERMINED

SPIRIT.

Reporter: THE 48-HOUR

MARK PASSED AND IT WAS

CLEAR THE SURGERY HAD BEEN

A SUCCESS.

THREE WEEKS LATER SETH WAS

RELEASED AND STARTED

PHYSICAL THERAPY.

HE WORKED HARD BECAUSE

THERE WAS SOMETHING HE

WANTED TO DO.

IT DIDN'T MATTER TO SETH

THAT HE COULDN'T USE HI HIS

RIGHT HAND.

HE JUST FOUND A WAY AROUND

IT.

SIX MONTHS AFTER SURGERY,

HE STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE

FOR HIS TEAM.

NOW BATTING NUMBER 48,

SETH.

I JUST SWUNG AND I JUST

STARTED RUNNING.

GOD REALLY PUSHED ME, BUT

I GOT THERE AND I REALIZED

I'M ON BASE.

I'M, LIKE, LET'S WIN THIS.

WE ENDEDED UP WINNING THAT

GAME.

HONESTLY, I THINK I

BELIEVED FROM THE

BEGINNING.

I JUST HAD THIS SENSE THAT

THIS COULD WORK.

Reporter: SETH

CONTINUES TO IMPROVE, AND

HE IS STILL WORKING ON HIS

GAME.

SERIOUSLY, IT'S ONLY

GOD WHO CAN DO THAT.

IT'S JUST AMAZING.

TRUST IN HIM AND FOLLOW

HIM, AND HE'LL GET YOU

THROUGH IT.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE

CONSEQUENCE IS OR WHAT IS

GOING ON.

YOU KEEP YOUR EYES FOCUSED

ON HIM, AND YOU CAN DO

EVERYTHING FROM CHRIST.

Pat: WITH YOUR EYES

FOCUSED ON HIM, YOU CAN DO

ANYTHING THROUGH CHRIST.

WOW!

Terry: I HAVE SOME

MORE PRAYER REQUESTS.

HERE IS SOMEONE ASKING FOR

STRENGTH FOR A

NINE-MONTH-OLD BABY GIRL

TO SIT AND STAND.

SHE HAD OPEN-HEART SURGERY

AT TWO WEEKS OF AGE.

> SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS A

FINANCIAL BREAKTHROUGH, A

JOB TO PAY FOR CAR REPAIR,

AND MONEY TO TURN THE

UTILITIES BACK ON.

> SOMEONE ELSE SAYING,

PLEASE PRAY FOR HEALING

FROM SEVERE NECK PAIN.

> AND SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS

A MARRIAGERE MARRIAGE RESTORATION TO

FORGIVE IN FIDELITY.

Pat: WE'RE GOING TO

BELIEVE GOD.

WE'RE SURRENDERED BY

THOUSANDS OF PRAYER

REQUESTS, AND TERRY AND I

ARE GOING TO JOIN

TOGETHER.

AND THIS VERY DAY WE'RE

GOING TO BELIEVE GOD FOR

YOU.

FATHER, YOU ARE THE GOD OF

ALL POWER AND LOVE.

AND, LORD, WE ARE YOUR

CHILDREN.

WE ARE YOUR CHILDREN WHO

BELONG TO YOUR FAMILY.

AND I PRAY FOR YOUR

CHILDREN TODAY, THAT YOU

MIGHT REACH OUT YOUR HAND

OF COMPASSION TOWARD THEM.

NOW SOME, LORD, HAVE

PHYSICAL PROBLEMS THAT

NEED HEALING.

OTHERS HAVE MENTAL

PROBLEMS.

OTHERS HAVE FINANCIAL

PROBLEMS.

BUT, LORD, THE PROBLEMS

ARE YOUR OPPORTUNITIES

BECAUSE YOU LOVE US AND

LOVE THEM.

SO NOW IN THE NAME OF

JESUS, WE BELIEVE GOD FOR

THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE

PRAYING.

WE ASK MY LORD FOR THE

ANOINTING OF YOUR HOLY

SPIRIT.

REACH OUT AND TOUCH THEM

IN JESUS' NAME.

RECEIVE AN ANSWER IN HIS

NAME.

TERRY?

Terry: THE SCRIPTURE

JUST COMES TO MIND FOR

SOMEONE TODAY WHO NEEDS

THIS, THAT GOD WILL TAKE

WHAT THE ENEMY HAS MEANT

FOR EVIL AND WORK IT FOR

GOOD IN YOUR LIFE.

STAND ON THAT PROMISE.

DON'T GIVE UP.

SOMEONE ELSE, YOU'VE BEEN

JUST BESIEGED WITH

SHINGLES AND IT IS LIKE

YOU CAN'T GET RID OF THEM,

BUT GOD IS HEALING YOU

TODAY.

RECEIVE THAT.

Terry: ESTA AFTER A

TYPHOON DESTROYED HIS HOME

IN THE PHILIPPINES, DANIEL

WAS TRAUMATIZED.

HIS NIGHTS WERE FILLED

WITH FEAR.

AND DURING THE DAY, HE

MOURNED THE LOSS OF HIS

HOME, HIS FRIENDS, ALL OF

HIS BELONGINGS.

THEN HE SAW AN EPISODE OF

"SUPERBOOK" THAT GAVE HIM

COURAGE AND HOPE FOR THE

FUTURE.

Reporter: DANIEL'S

FAMILY SURVIVED A KILLER

TYPHOON THAT STRUCK THE

PHILIPPINES.

THE WINDS FROM THE

TYPHOON WERE HUGE.

I WAS SO SCARED.

I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO

DIE.

Reporter: THEY LOST

EVERYTHING ACCEPT FO EXCEPT FOR A

FEW SURFBOARDS FROM A

FAMILY RENTAL BUSINESS.

RELIEF SUPPLIES NEVER

CAME, SO THEY ESCAPED BY

BUS TO LIVE WITH RELATIVES

IN MANILA.

THERE DANIEL STRUGGLED

WITH FEAR AND LOSS.

I LOST ALL OF MY THINGS

AND I LOST MY FRIENDS.

AFTER THE TYPHOON, I HAD

NIGHTMARES.

IN MY DREAMS I WOULD GET

WASHED AWAY, AND MY FAMILY

COULDN'T FIND ME.

Reporter: AND HE

WRESTLED WITH A GROWING

EMPTINESS IN HIS LIFE,

TOO.

THAT'S WHEN DANIEL STARTED

WATCHING CBN'S

"SUPERBOOK."

HE CONNECTED WITH THE

STORY OF JOB.

WHEN WE GOT TO THE

STORY OF JOB, I SAW MYSELF

IN THE STORY.

HE LOST ALL OF HIS

POSSESSIONS AND CHILDREN.

"SUPERBOOK" SHOWED ME THAT

GOD IS WITH US, AND HE

WILL TAKE CARE OF US.

Reporter: AFTER

WATCHING, DANIEL PRAYED

WITH HIS MOTHER TO BECOME

A CHRISTIAN.

JESUS IS MY TRUE

FRIEND.

HE IS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME.

Reporter: HE ALSO

STARTED PRAYING THAT GOD

WOULD RESTORE WHAT THEY

HAD LOST.

SHORTLY AFTER THAT, HIS

MOM GOT A NEW JOB IN A

TIRE SHOP.

THEN HIS DAD RESTARTED THE

FAMILY BUSINESS AND IS

BUILDING THEM A NEW HOME.

THEY HOPE TO MOVE THERE

SOON.

I THANK YOU FOR

EVERYTHING YOU HAVE GIVEN

OUR FAMILY.

Terry: YOU KNOW, YOU

CAN'T PUT A PRICE TAG ON

HOPE.

IN A SCENARIO LIKE THAT,

WHERE THERE IS SUCH

DEVASTATION, WE WANT TO

SAY THANK YOU "700 CLUB"

PAT?

Pat: IT IS AN AMAZING

STORY, AN MAZING STORY OF

PERSEVERANCE AND FAITH.

DAVID GREEN AND HIS WIFE

BEGAN MAKING PICTURE

FRAMES IN THEIR GARAGE IN

THE 1970s.

THEY COULD NEVER HAVE

IMAGINED THEY WOULD END UP

WITH THE WORLD'S LARGEST

PRIVATELY-OWNED RETAIL

BUSINESS, EMPLOYING 32,000

PEOPLE IN MORE THAN 700

STORES ACROSS 47 STATES.

IT'S CALLED HOBBY LOBBY.

TAKE A LOOK.

Reporter: DAVID GREEN

IS THE FOUNDER AND C.E.O.

OF HOBBY LOBBY, A RETAIL

CRAFTING GIANT WITH OVER

700 STORES ACROSS THE

COUNTRY.

DAVID BUILT THE COMPANY ON

BIBLICAL VALUES LIKE

GIVING, INTEGRITY, AND

EXCELLENCE.

IN 2014, HOBBY LOBBY WON A

LANDMARK SUPREME COURT

CASE.

THE COURT RULED HOBBY

LOBBY WOULD NOT HAVE TO

PAY FOR BIRTH CONTROL IN

THEIR HEALTH CARE PLAN.

IT WAS A VI VICTORY FOR

FAITH-BASED BUSINESSES

"YES" THE U.S.

ACROSS THE U.S.

IN HIS BOOK, "GIVING IT

ALL AWAY AND GETTING IT

ALL BACK AGAIN," HE SHARES

HOW THE POWER OF GIVING

CHANGED HIS LIFE AND CAN

RADICALLY CHANGE YOURS,

TOO.

Pat: THE BOOK IS

CALLED "GIVING IT ALL AWAY

AND GETTING IT BACK

AGAIN."

DAVID GREEN IS HERE WITH

US.

IT IS A BOOK YOU REALLY

NEED TO READ.

GOD BLESS YOU.

THANK YOU.

IT IS VERY GOOD TO BE HERE

WITH YOU.

Pat: YOU'RE THE SON

OF A PREACHER.

YOU DIDN'T EVER HAVE ANY

MONEY.

AND YOU ARE YOUR WIFE

STARTED, I THINK, WITH

$60 --

$600.

WE STARTED OUR BUSINESS

WITH $600.

Pat: YOU HAD MORE

THAN I HAD.

I HAD $70.

IT'S NOT TOO EASY.

Pat: WHAT DID YOU DO?

WELL, GOD HAS JUST

BLESSED US, OBVIOUSLY.

AND WE'VE JUST BEEN ABLE

TO GROW YEAR BY YEAR.

WE STILL ADD ABOUT 50

STORES A YEAR.

Pat: HOW DO YOU DO

THAT?

WELL, GOD JUST HAS BEEN

GOOD TO US.

WE HAVE NO DEBT.

AND SO WITH THE $600, WE

DO $4.6 BILLION, AND WE

HAVE NO DEBT.

AND WE GIVE HALF OF OUR

PROFITS TO VARIOUS

MINISTRIES WE'RE INVOLVED

IN.

Pat: YOU THINK THE

BUSINESS IS A MINISTRY,

AND NOT THE OTHER WAY

AROUND, RIGHT?

NO QUESTION.

WE SEE IT AS A MINISTRY.

GOD SAYS HE OWNS

EVERYTHING, AND WE JUST

ACCEPT THAT AND SAY, LET'S

BE THE STEWARDS.

MY FAMILY AND MY CHILDREN

AND MY GRANDCHILDREN ARE

JUST GOING TO STEWARD IT.

WE'RE GOT GOIN NOT GOING TO TAKE

ANY STOCK ADVANTAGES.

AND WE'RE GOING TO GET TO

WORK, IF WE WANT TO, AND

GET A SALARY.

WE SEE IT AS GOD'S

BUSINESS.

Pat: WHAT'S THE

SECRET OF HOBBY LOBBY?

HOW COME YOU'RE SO

SUCCESSFUL?

I THINK PART OF IT IS

OUR GIVING.

IT BELONGS TO GOD, AND IT

IS HIS, AND WE TREAT IT

THAT WAY.

I THINK WITHOUT QUESTION

HE BLESSES US.

FROM THE TIME THAT WE

STARTED TITHING -- I'M A

BIG ADVOCATE OF TITHING.

BECAUSE GOD SAYS IF YOU

TITHE, THE WINDOWS OF

HEAVEN WILL OPEN UP, AND

WHO DOESN'T WANT THE

WINDOWS OF HEAVEN TO OPEN

UP.

Pat: NEIL GORSUCH WAS

JUST CONFIRMED ON THE

SUPREME COURT.

HE WAS ON THE CIRCUIT

COURT THAT DECIDED THAT

CASE.

WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM IN

THAT CASE THAT CAME BEFORE

THE COURT?

WELL, THE PROBLEM WAS

IN THE HEALTH CARE MANDATE

FOR OUR COMPANY, WE HAD TO

PROVIDE FOUR DRUGS THAT WE

KNOW WOULD TAKE LIFE.

WE OFFER 16 DIFFERENT

CONTRACEPTIVES IN OUR

PROGRAM, BUT THERE WERE

FOUR WE JUST COULDN'T

AGREE WITH BECAUSE THEY

WOULD TAKE LIFE.

Pat: THEY WERE

ABORTION PILLS?

THEY WERE ABORTION

PILL.

PILLS.

THE GOVERNMENT SAID YOU'RE

GOING TO DO IT OR IT WOULD

HAVE COST US $1.3 MILLION

A DAY AS A PENALTY.

SO THAT'S WHERE WE FOUND

OURSELVES.

Pat: SO WHAT

HAPPENED?

SO WE TOOK IT TO COURT

AND WE LOST AT THE LOCAL

LEVEL.

WE TOOK IT TO THE 10th

CIRCUIT AND WE LOST AGAIN.

THEY SAID WE'RE NOT GOING

TO GIVE YOU RELIEF ON

THIS.

AND BASICALLY WHEN THEY

SAY THAT, THEY SAY YOU'RE

EITHER GOING TO DO THIS OR

PAY THIS BIG FINE.

BUT THE 10th CIRCUIT --

WE CAME BACK AND ASKED THE

ENTIRE COURT TO LOOK AT

IT.

I THINK BECAUSE OF GORSUCH

BEING THE ONE THAT REALLY

TIPPED IT, WE HAD RELIEF

UNTIL WE COULD GET IT TO

THE SUPREME COURT.

Pat: THEIR RULING WAS

WHAT?

THE 5-4, THAT WE DON'T,

AS A BUSINESS, HAVE TO

PROVIDE THESE PARTICULAR

DRUGS THAT WE JUST

COULDN'T SEE OURSELVES

DOING.

Pat: IT WAS A

LANDMARK CASE, BUT YOU

OFFERED ALL KINDS OF

CONTRACEPTION.

EXACTLY.

WE OFFER 16 DIFFERENT

KINDS.

Pat: AND YET THE

GOVERNMENT WANTED TO

IMPOSE ON YOU THE PENALTY

THAT YOU HAD TO PROVIDE

ABORTION DRUGS?

EXACTLY.

I DON'T KNOW WHY AT THE

SUPREME COURT WE DIDN'T

HAVE A 9-0, INSTEAD OF A

4-5, BECAUSE I CAN'T

COMPREHEND HOW THE

GOVERNMENT CAN TELL YOU

YOU'RE GOING TO PROVIDE A

PILL TO HELP ABORTION.

Pat: THERE HAS BEEN A

LOT OF PUBLICITY.

DURING THE PERIOD OF

TIME, WE HAD A LOT OF

PEOPLE PICKET US AND COME

AGAINST US, BUT WE'VE ALSO

HAD A LOT OF SUPPORT.

AND GOD HAS BEEN GOOD.

AND WE CONTINUE TO HAVE

STORE INCREASES.

Pat: YOU'RE GROWING

$4 BILLION OR $5 BILLION?

WE HAVE ZERO DEBT.

AND WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT IT

ALL IS THE THINGS WE CAN

DO IN TERMS OF THE

MINISTRIES WE'RE INVOLVED

IN.

Pat: THIS MUSEUM OF

THE BIBLE YOU'VE GOT IS

MAGNIFICENT, WITH ALL OF

THE EXHIBITS.

HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH

THAT?

I THINK THE LORD JUST

GAVE THAT TO US.

WE DIDN'T INTEND TO DO IT.

WE BOUGHT A COUPLE OF

ANTIQUITIES, AND TODAY WE

HAVE LIKE 45,000 DIFFERENT

ANTIQUITIES.

AND THE PROJECT IN

WASHINGTON, D.C. IS A

BILLION DOLLAR PROJECT,

WHEN YOU TAKE THE BUILDING

AND ANTIQUITIES.

AND WE HAVE A LOT OF

PEOPLE COME ALONGSIDE US

AS WELL.

AND SO NOVEMBER THE

17th, WE'LL OPEN THIS

BIBLE MUSEUM, WHICH WE

HAVE SUCH LOVE FOR, GOD'S

WORD.

Pat: OF COURSE.

NOVEMBER 17th OF THIS

YEAR THEY'RE OPENING IN

WASHINGTON.

EXACTLY.

Pat: IT IS CALLED --

THE MUSEUM OF THE

BIBLE.

IT IS TWO BLOCKS OFF OF

THE MALL AND FIVE BLOCKS

FROM THE CAPITAL.

SO WE'RE PLACING GOD'S

WORD IN THE MIDDLE OF

WASHINGTON, D.C.

AND SO WE'RE REALLY

EXCITED ABOUT IT.

BECAUSE WE FEEL, AS WELL

AS YOU DO, THAT WE NEED TO

GET BACK TO GOD'S WORD.

Pat: YOU DECIDED WITH

ALL OF THIS MONEY THAT IS

COMING YOUR WAY, NOT TO

GIVE IT TO YOUR CHILDREN.

YOU WANT TO GIVE IT TO

YOUR CHILDREN.

WE WANT TO GIVE IT TO

THE LORD.

WE THINK THE WORST THING

WE COULD DO IS ENCUMBER

OUR CHILDREN.

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT MY

CHILDREN ANYWAY, BUT IT

SEEMS TO BE THE WRONG

THING TO DO.

WE SEE OURSELVES AS THE

STEWARDS OF IT.

I MAKE THE SAME SALARY I

DID 11 YEARS AGO.

SO THIS IS NOT ABOUT ME.

IT IS ABOUT THE MINISTRIES

AND THE THING WE CAN DO

FOR THE MINISTRY.

Pat: YOU DENY

YOURSELF -- YOU JUST LIVE

ON A SIMPLE SALARY.

A SIMPLE SALARY.

I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER

GET A RAISE.

I THINK I SHOULD GET ONE,

BUT ANYWAY --

Pat: IF I WERE ON THE

BOARD, I WOULD VOTE YOU

GET A RAISE.

I'M GOING TO PUT YOU ON

THE BOARD.

Pat: THANK YOU FOR

THIS BOOK, "GIVING IT ALL

AWAY."

IT IS AVAILABLE ON

AMAZON --

ANYWHERE.

AND IT IS AVAILABLE AT

HOBBY LOBBY.

Pat: GO TO HOBBY

LOBBY AND GET THE BOOK AND

BUY SOME THINGS TODAY.

DAVID IS GOING TO BE THE

FEATURED SPEAKER AT OUR

CHAPEL TODAY.

YOU CAN JOIN US LIVE AT

NOON ON cbn.com.WE'LL BE

STREAMING THAT SERVICE

FROM REGENT UNIVERSITY

CHAPEL.

THIS IS A GREAT TESTIMONY

OF A HUMBLE MAN AND HIS

DEAR WIFE MAKING AN

ENORMOUS BUSINESS THAT IS

GIVING IT ALL AWAY.

AND THAT'S THE NAME OF

THIS BOOK.

DAVID GREEN, THANK YOU, MY

BROTHER.

GOD BLESS YOU.

THANK YOU.

Pat: TERRY, WHAT'S

NEXT?

Terry: WELL, WHEN WE

COME BACK, WE'RE GOING TO

"BRING IT ON" WITH YOUR

E-MAILS.

JERRY WANTS TO KNOW, "IN

HEAVEN, WILL PEOPLE FORGET

ABOUT ANY NEGATIVE

MEMORIES FROM LIFE ON

EARTH?"

WE'LL GET PAT'S TAKE ON

THAT QUESTION AND MORE,

AFTER THIS.

Terry: WELL, IT IS

TIME TO "BRING IT ON" WITH

YOUR E-MAIL QUESTIONS.

THIS FIRST BUN COMES FROM

JERRY WHO SAYS, "HI, PAT,

IN HEAVEN, WILL PEOPLE

FORGET ABOUT ANY NEGATIVE

MEMORIES FROM LIFE ON

EARTH?"

Pat: THE BIBLE SAYS

THE LORD IS GOING TO WIPE

AWAY ALL TEARS.

IT WILL BE SO OVERWHELMING

AND SO BEAUTIFUL AND THE

SENSATION WILL BE SO

EXTRAORDINARY.

EYE HASN'T SEEN, EAR

HASN'T HEARD WHAT GOD HAS

PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO

LOVE HIM.

IT WILL BE OVERWHELMING.

IT IS LIKE HAVING A LITTLE

TEENY PIN PRICK OF LIGHT

IN THE LIGHT OF THE SUN.

YOU DON'T EVEN SEE IT.

I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT

THAT STUFF.

WILL IT BE OBLITERATED,

I'M NOT SURE.

BUT IT WON'T BOTHER YOU.

Terry: FRANK SAYS,

"IS IT NECESSARY TO KEEP

THE SABBATH, AND IF SO, ON

WHAT DAY SHOULD WE TAKE A

SABBATH REST?"

Pat: THE RULE WAS IN

THE OLD TESTAMENT, SIX

DAYS YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO

YOUR WORK AND ON THE

SEVENTH DAY YOU'RE TO

REST.

AND INSTEAD OF RESTING, WE

HAVE THESE ENDLESS CHURCH

MEETINGS WHICH IS

EXHAUSTING, OR WE GO OUT

TO FOOTBALL GAMES, WHICH

IS EQUALLY EXHAUSTING.

BUT THE IDEA IS THIS IS

DAY OF RESTING.

IF YOU HAD TO WORK SEVEN

DAYS A WEEK WITHOUT ANY

REST, YOU WOULD BE

DESTROYED.

JESUS SAID THE SABBATH WAS

MADE FOR MAN, NOT MAN FOR

THE SABBATH.

IT WAS GOD'S PLAN TO KEEP

YOU WHOLE AND HEALTHY.

AND IF YOU VIOLATE THAT,

YOU'RE GOING TO WIND UP

WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL,

PHYSICAL PROBLEMS THAT ARE

HUGE.

SO WHAT DAY?

THE NICE THING ABOUT IT IS

RIGHT NOW SUNDAY IS THE

DAY WHERE THE AMOUNT OF

ACTIVITY SEIZES.

CEASES.

BUT IF YOU HAVE COMMERCE

GOING ALL OF THE TIME AND

THE E-MAIL GOING ALL OF

THE TIME, YOU NEVER HAVE A

CHANCE TO REST, EVEN IF

YOU TAKE A DAY.

TAKE A DAY -- TAKE IT

SATURDAY, TAKE IT

WEDNESDAY, TAKE IT

THURSDAY -- I DON'T THINK

THAT MATTERS.

THE QUESTION IS DO YOU

HAVE ONE OR TWO DAYS OUT

OF SEVEN WHERE YOU CAN

JUST KICK BACK AND JUST

RELAX.

THAT'S WHAT IT IS ABOUT.

Terry: AMANDA SAYS,

"I AM A CHRISTIAN BUT I

DON'T GO TO CHURCH.

CHURCHES WHERE I LIVE ARE

VERY JUDGEMENTAL.

AM I WRONG FOR NOT GOING?"

Pat: THE BIBLE SAYS

DON'T FORSAKE THE

ASSEMBLING.

WE HAVE LIKE A CHURCH

SERVICE EVERY DAY AND

STAFF ARE HERE AND WE'RE

PRAYING AND WE'RE ALL

TOGETHER.

YOU NEED THAT EXPERIENCE.

I KNOW SOME OF THOSE

CHURCHES, THEY'RE ABOUT AS

MUCH FUN AS A LEG CRAMP.

[LAUGHTER]

Pat: THEY REALLY ARE.

AND YOU SAY, I CAN'T STAND

IT AND YOU GET OUT OF

THERE EXHAUSTED.

[LAUGHTER]

Pat: FIND ONE WHERE

THEY PRAY PRAISE THE LORD

TOGETHER AND YOU'RE

COMFORTABLE.

Terry: DENISE SAYS,

"THIS PAST WEEK I HAD A

MOMENT OF FRUSTRATION

BROUGHT ON BY BEING THE

CARE-GIVER OF A FAMILY

MEMBER.

I WAS TIRED AND HAD A LOT

OF CABIN FEVER.

IN THAT MOMENT I SAID I

DIDN'T BELIEVE THERE WAS A

GOD.

HOW DO I TAKE IT BACK AND

KEEP MY SALVATION.

I FEEL LIKE I'VE LOST IT

ALL."

Pat: NO, YOU DIDN'T

LOSE IT.

GOD WILL FORGIVE YOU FOR

THAT.

A STATEMENT IN FATIGUE OR

ANGER -- YOU COME BACK AND

SAY -- YOU HAVEN'T LOST

ANYTHING.

YOU'VE LOST YOUR JOY RIGHT

NOW.

ASK FOR HIS FORGIVENESS

FOR WHAT YOU SAID, AND HE

WILL FORGIVE YOU.

IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE.

LORD, I SPOKE IN HASTE, I

SPOKE RASHLY, PLEASE

FORGIVE ME AND SET A WATCH

OVER MY LIPS THAT I MAY

PRAISE YOU.

END OF STORY.

Terry: THIS IS FAITH

WHO SAYS, "I'M ACQUAINTED

WITH A CHRISTIAN WHO FEELS

HE IS A PROPHET.

YET HIS ONLY PREDICTIONS

ARE THE HORRIBLE THINGS

THAT ARE COMING UPON THE

EARTH, SUCH AS FAMINE,

ETC.

IT SEEMS TO ME THERE

SHOULD BE MENTION OF THE

GOOD THINGS AS WELL.

I THINK WE CAN HELP PEOPLE

MORE WHAT THEY ARE TO

THINK ABOUT, WHERE THE

BIBLE TELLS US TO AND

ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING AND TO

THINK OF EVERYTHING AS

PURE AND LOVELY AND OF A

GOOD REPORT AND TO

MEDITATE ON THOSE THINGS."

Pat: BY ALL THINGS,

MEDITATE.

IF YOU READ JEREMIAH, HE

SAID BEFORE ME THE

PROPHETS WHO CAME ALWAYS

PREDICTED TROUBLE.

AND HE SAID, YOU HAVE

PREDICTED GOOD THINGS.

AND HE SAID, IF WHAT YOU

SAY COMES TO PASS, WE'LL

BELIEVE YOUR A PROPHET.

WHAT YOU'RE SPEAKING IS

NOT BIBLICALLY BASED,

ALTHOUGH IT MAKES A LOT OF

SENSE.

FAR BETTER TO SAY THIS IS

THE DAY THE LORD HATH MADE

RATHER THAN WE'RE GOING TO

HAVE RAIN AND STORM TODAY.

I BELIEVE A CHERRY HEART

DOETH GOOD LIKE MEDICINE.

AT THE SAME TIME, IF A GUY

IS REALLY TALKING FROM

GOD -- I DON'T KNOW IF

THIS GUY IS A PROPHET OR

NOT.

HE MAY BE A SELF-APPOINTED

PROPHET AND HE IS SPEAKING

OUT OF HIS OWN MIND.

THAT'S UP TO YOU.

I DON'T KNOW HIM.

YOU KNOW A PROPHET, IF

WHAT HE SAYS COMES TO

PASS.

> WE LEAVE YOU WITH

TODAY'S POWER MINUTE FROM

MATTHEW: "IF TWO OF YOU

AGREE ON EARTH, CONCERNING

ANYTHING THEY ASK, IT WILL

BE DONE FOR THEM."

FOR TERRY AND ALL OF US,

WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

BYE-BYE.
