COMING UP, THE 6-DAY WAR.
THAT FULFILLS THOUSANDS
OF YEARS
OF PROPHECY.
TAKE A LOOK AT "IN OUR
HANDS, THE
BATTLE FOR FOR JERUSALEM".
THEY WERE THE FATHER, THE
BUSINESSMAN, AND THEY WERE
THE GUYS
GOING INTO JERUSALEM.
ON TODAY'S "700 CLUB".
*
Pat: WELCOME BACK TO THE
REGULAR
PROGRAMMING. WE WERE HAD A
FANTASTIC
TELETHON.
WE HAD A GRADUATION.
DID IT RAIN?
NO.
IT DIDN'T RAIN.
1920 GRADUATES. I CAN'T TELL
YOU HOW
BEAUTIFUL IT WAS AT REGENT.
HOW ARE YOU?
I'M GOOD.
IT WAS A GREAT TELETHON.
IT WAS A GREAT PREMIUM
THAT I WAS
ABLE TO DO CALLED MIRACLES.
ANYWAY, YOU'VE SEEN ON
THE NEWS
FOR THE FRANCE CANDIDATE
MANUEL MA
KROEN.
AND THE BILL TO REPEAL
AND REPLACE
OBAMACARE.
AT JUST 39 MANUEL MA
KROEN IS THE
NEW CANDIDATE FOR THE
EUROPEAN UNION.
HIS OPPONENTS SAYS HE'S TOO
SOFT AND
TOO DANGEROUS TO LEAD DURING
THESE
TIMES.
HE ACTUALLY PROMISED TO
UNITE FRANCE
WHICH FOR A FRENCH PRESIDENT
IS LIKE
TRYING TO HURT CATS.
THIS LEFTIST SAID MA
KROEN'S STAGE
SHOW WAS A SUCCESS.
EXTREME FINANCE HAS WON, BUT
LE PIN
WAS MAGNANIMOUS.
I BELIEVE IN THE COUNTRY
AND I
WISH SUCCESS TO HIM.
THE FRENCH PARTY
ANNOUNCED IT
WOULD WE BRAND AND CHANGE
ITS NAME.
TO REPRESENT A WIDER
SCOPE OF
SOVEREIGNTY OF LEADERS AND
MOVEMENT
AROUND THIS IDEA.
THE EUROPEAN
ESTABLISHMENT AND
MEDIA TO HELP PROP UP THE
UNION THAT
THE EUROPEAN UNION WENT IN
FLAMES.
THEY COULD SEE THE ANTI-EURO
MOVEMENT
BE THE BIGGEST PARTY. BIG
FINANCES
COULD HURT THE EURO. THE
PERFORMANCE
CAN USUALLY MEET WITH
BARRICADES.
PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID
CONGRATULATIONS.
I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING
WITH HIM.
HERE AT HOME, PRESIDENT
TRUMP HAS A
KEY ON ECONOMIC ISSUES
TRYING TO
REFORM OF HEALTHCARE.
AFTER TRYING TO REPLACE
OBAMACARE,
THE SENATE WILL COME IN AND
WILL COME
UP WITH A DIFFERENT VERSION.
THE SENATE IS STARTING
FROM
SCRATCH.
Pat: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
I GUESS
McCONNELL WILL DO HIS THING
BUT SAID
THAT UKRANIANS ARE TOO HARD
ON --
RUSSIA AND NOBODY KNOWS WHAT
HE'S
GOING TO DO. NOBODY KNOWS
HIM. HE
HASN'T BEEN IN POLITICS AND
HE
DOESN'T HAVE A PARTY. THEY
ARE NOT AN
ORGANIZED PARTY AND THERE
ARE NO
MEMBERS OF THE FRENCH
LEGISLATURE.
HE'S GOT TO PUT IT
ALTOGETHER AND
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE EASY.
BUT THAT
IS THEIR PROBLEM, IT'S NOT
MINE. I
WILL LEAVE THAT FOR NOW. OUR
CBN NEWS
CORRESPONDENT DAVID BRODY IS
WITH US
FROM WASHINGTON.
DAVID, THE BILL PASSED THE
HOUSE AND
NOW THE SENATE IS GOING TO
DO IT ALL
OVER AGAIN. WHAT'S YOUR TAKE
ON THAT?
COUNCIL -- YES, THEY ARE
GOING TO
START FROM SCRATCH. THE
REPUBLICAN
PARTY JUST CAN'T GET THEIR
ACT
TOGETHER. I JUST GOT OFF THE
PHONE
WITH A COUPLE OF GOP AIDS
AND ASKED
THEM ON A SCALE OF 1-10
WHAT'S THE
DIFFICULTY ON PASSING A
SENATE BILL
HEALTHCARE.
ONE GAVE ME AN 8 OUT OF 10
AND THE
OTHER ONE SAID 9.9 TOWARDS
THE DEGREE
OF DIFFICULTY. BASICALLY
IT'S BECAUSE
THEY CAN'T GET THEIR ACT
TOGETHER. DO
THEY WANTED TO EXPAND.
THERE ARE SOME THAT DON'T
WANT TO
DIMINISH MEDICAID AND OTHERS
TO
EXPAND IT.
THERE IS SO MANY ISSUES AND
ALSO THE
PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
THE HOUSE BILL DEFUNDS
PLANNED
PARENTHOOD AND SAYING THEY
ARE NOT
GOING TO VOTE FOR A BILL
THAT DEFUNDS
PLANNED PARENTHOOD. REMEMBER
REPUBLICANS HAVE TWO BEATS.
Pat: FOR MEDICAID, EXACTLY
WHAT IS
THE ISSUE AND WHY ARE SOME
STICKING
AND SOME IN FAVOR.
WHAT'S THE STORY?
LET'S DEVELOP THIS INTO
TWO LITTLE
SEGMENTS HERE.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
SUBSIDIES. WHAT
WE MEAN ABOUT THAT IS THERE
IS A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY IN
THIS
HEALTHCARE BILL WHERE THERE
ARE
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
PREEXISTING
CONDITIONS WHERE SOME ARE
NOT COVERED
BUT THERE WOULD BE 8 BILLION
WORTH OF
SUBSIDIES AND HOW MUCH MIGHT
IT NOT
COVER FOR PREEXISTING
CONDITIONS AND
MEDICAID IS GOING TO BE
SCALED BACK
AS IT RELATED TO THE
HEALTHCARE MONEY
THAT'S COMING FROM MEDICAID.
THAT WILL BE ROLLED BACK AND
IN 2020
THERE WON'T BE MUCH LEFT.
IT'S GOING TO BLOCK GRANT
MONEY TO
THE STATES.
RIGHT NOW IT'S DEEMED
SPECIFICALLY
FOR HEALTHCARE FROM THE
FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT.
NOW, OR IN 2020, IT WILL GO
TO THE
STATES IN TERMS OF BLOCK
GRANTS. SO
THIS IS ALL ABOUT KIND OF
LIKE HOW IS
THE MONEY GOING TO BE
DISBURSED AND
THAT'S HOW THE RUBBER IS
GOING TO
MEET THE ROAD.
IF THEY PUT IT IN THE
HOUSE BILL
AND THERE WAS 30 ALREADY IN
THERE.
THERE WAS A HUGE AMOUNT
ALREADY FOR
PREEXISTING CONDITIONS,
WASN'T IT?
THE WHITE HOUSE WAS GOING
TO GIVE
THEM $5 BILLION MORE AND
THEY SAID,
NO, I WANT $8 BILLION MORE.
THAT'S HOW THAT WORKED.
Pat: WHAT ABOUT THE
SENATOR FROM
KENTUCKY RAND PAUL, HAS HE
GOT HIS
OWN BILL COMING?
HE DOES.
I DON'T THINK THEY FEEL THEY
HAVE
THAT MUCH OF A BILL AND TOO
COMPLICATED TO PASS THE
SENATE. BUT
THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HOW
THIS IS
GOING TO GO DOWN BECAUSE
REMEMBER YOU
HAVE RAND PAUL ON THE SWING
WITH
SENATORS AND THEN YOU HAVE
LISA AND
ROB PORTMAN AND MANY OF THE
MORE
MODERATES IN THE SENATE.
YOU HAVE TWO DIFFERENT SIDES
HERE AND
THE KEY MAN IN THE MIDDLE
HERE AND
YOU KNOW HIM WELL, PAT,
MITCH
McCONNELL. IF YOU GOOGLE
HARRY
HOUDINI, YOU KNOW WHO HE IS.
TALK
ABOUT HURTING CATS LIKE DALE
HURD
SAID, THIS IS HURTING CATS.
Pat: CAN'T THEY UNDERSTAND
THAT
THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
REPLACE
OBAMACARE?
YOU ARE 100% IN THAT AND
THAT'S
THE GLUE THAT IN THE END IS
GOING TO
KEEP THEM ON THE SAME PAGE
AFTER 10
AMENDMENTS TO THE SAME BILL.
THE
BOTTOM LINE IS REPUBLICANS
CANNOT NO
WAY CAN THEY HAVE THIS BILL
FAIL AND
NOT COME OUT OF THE SENATE.
THEY HAVE
TO GET SOMETHING TO
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S
DESK.
THE SENSE IS IF THEY PASS
THE BILL TO
THE SENATE AND THEN IT GOES
TO
COMMITTEE AND THE HOUSE
SENATE AND
THE HOUSE BILL HAS TO
RECONCILE
TOGETHER AND WE HAVE TO VOTE
ON
ANOTHER BILL THAT WILL HAVE
TO
COMPROMISE. PAT, WE MAY NOT
SEE THIS
UNTIL LABOR DAY AND HOW
APPROPRIATE
BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A LOT
OF LABOR
PAINS TO GO WITH IT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THIS IS GOING TO BE CRUCIAL
BECAUSE
THEY ARE HOLDING UP, THEY
THINK THERE
WILL BE A POT OF MONEY THAT
WILL BE
SAVED WITH DOING AWAY WITH
OBAMACARE
AND THE TAXING OF PEOPLE.
THE ECONOMY NEEDS IT.
I DON'T SEE WHY THEY DON'T
SEE THE
BIG PICTURE.
THE PICTURE IS THEY ARE
GOING TO LOSE
THEIR SHIRT IF THEY DON'T
GET
TOGETHER. THEY HAVE
AGONIZING HOURS
OF WORK INTERVENTION BY THE
PRESIDENT
HIMSELF. WELL, WENDY, WE CAN
TALK
ABOUT SOMETHING MORE
PLEASANT THAN
HEALTHCARE REFORM.
Wendy: LET'S TALK ABOUT
THE
GRADUATION. THIS WEEKEND
MORE THAN
8,000 PEOPLE GATHERED AT
REGENT
UNIVERSITY.
THERE WAS NO RAIN.
IT WAS A PICTURE PERFECT DAY
AS
FAMILY AND FRIENDS GOT
TOGETHER TO
WITNESS STUDENTS RECEIVE
THEIR
DIPLOMAS. HERE ARE THE
HIGHLIGHTS
FROM THIS YEAR'S
COMMENCEMENT.
Pat: I WANT TO
CONGRATULATE YOU ON
THE GRADUATION AT REGENT
UNIVERSITY.
THIS PAST SATURDAY FAMILY
AND
FRIENDS GATHERED AROUND
REGENT
UNIVERSITY TO WITNESS THE
GRADUATION
OF 2017.
PAT ROBERTSON PRESIDED OVER
THIS
CEREMONY.
Pat: THE LORD SAID TO THE
EVENING
OF HIS DISCIPLES, IF YOU
ABIDE IN ME
AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU,
YOU CAN
ASK WHAT YOU WILL AND IT
WILL BE DONE
UNTO YOU.
SO, MY CHARGE TO EACH OF YOU
GRADUATES, ATTACH YOURSELVES
TO JESUS
AND LET HIS WORDS ATTACH
THEMSELVES
TO YOU.
THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER WAS
THE DEAN
OF SCHOOL OF DIVINITY.
THIS IS MY PRAYER FOR
EACH AND
EVERYONE OF YOU. YOU ARE
HERE BECAUSE
YOU HAVE THE SAME CALL.
NEVER SHRINK
BACK, NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR
THE HOPE
THAT'S IN YOU. TRUST IN GOD,
PROCLAIM
HIS WORD AND PERFORM HIS
GOSPEL AND
YOU WILL BE IN THIS RACE
BEFORE YOU.
GO FORWARD AND CHANGE THE
WORLD FOR
HIM.
OVER 1,000 GRADUATES WITH
BACHELOR'S AND MASTERS AND
DOCTORAL
DEGREES.
THIS IS THE MOMENT THAT
YOU HAVE
BEEN WAITING FOR.
GRADUATES, YOU CAN NOW FLIP
YOUR
TASSELS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
Pat: WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY.
WASN'T THAT FUN?
Wendy: THAT WAS GREAT.
THEY HAD THEM ALL OVER
THE PLACE
AND THERE WERE TREES WITH
CONFETTI
EVERYWHERE.
THAT'S THE MOST GRADUATES
WE HAD.
Pat: 1920.
ALMOST 2,000.
THAT'S MORE GRADUATES THAN
WHEN I
WENT TO SCHOOL. WE HAD
ALMOST 600
UNDERGRADUATES.
WHAT TOUCHED ME WAS I KNEW
THERE WERE
MANY PARENTS THERE THAT
SACRIFICED.
MANY PARENTS HAD A DEGREE
BUT WE HAD
MANY STUDENTS GETTING
MASTERS AND
DOCTORATES.
AND MANY UNDERGRADUATE.
YES.
IT WAS THE MOST.
THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT IT
THAT
JUST OVERWHELMS ME.
I'M STILL RADIATING WITH
JOY. THEY
ARE GOING TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE IN THE
WORLD. THEY ARE TAUGHT TO
CHANGE THE
WORLD. THEY ARE COMING OUT
AS WORLD
LEADERS.
Wendy: THEY ARE. THAT IS
AMAZING.
UP NEXT, IT IS THE SITE OF
THE
BLOODIEST BATTLE OF A FILM
IN HISTORY
AND THIS DOCUDRAMA.
WE THOUGHT, GREAT, IF IT
SURVIVED
A REAL EXPLOSION, IT CAN
SURVIVE THIS
ONE.
THIS IS ABOUT "IN OUR HANDS,
THE
BATTLE FOR FOR JERUSALEM".
WHEN WE COME BACK.
WHEN WE COME BACK.
Pat: IN LESS THAN A MONTH
ISRAELIS
WILL CELEBRATE THE
ANNIVERSARY OF
WHAT'S CALLED THE 6TH DAY
WAR WHICH
IS A TRIBUTE TO MANY SAY IS
GOD'S
VICTORY.
THIS DOCUMENTARY OF "IN OUR
HANDS,
THE BATTLE FOR FOR
JERUSALEM".
BY 4:30 A.M., THE
JORDANIANS HAD
REACHED THE AREA AND THEY
LINED THE
BUNKER WITH 21 TONS OF TNT.
THIS IS AMMUNITION HILL
WHAT IS
STATED AS THE BLOODIEST
BATTLE IN
ISRAELI HISTORY.
I TALKED TO THE "IN OUR
HANDS, THE
BATTLE FOR FOR JERUSALEM"
DIRECTOR
AND THIS DOCUDRAMA TELLS US
OF THE
VICTORY OF 19676-DAY WAR.
DID YOU DO A REENACTMENT
HERE?
WE DID. THEY LET US HAVE
THE PLACE
FOR A FEW NIGHTS.
WE HAVE SHOOTERS FROM THE
BUNKER AND
THEY SHOWED US THE BUNKER
AND WHERE
THEY FOUND THE COMMAND
BUNKER AND HOW
THEY BLEW IT UP.
THEY TOLD US WE CAN USE THIS
BUNKER
FOR YOUR EXPLOSION. I
THOUGHT GREAT.
IF IT SURVIVED THE REAL ONE,
IT COULD
SURVIVE A MOVIE ONE.
THIS WAS THE
DRAMATIZATION OF
IMPORTANT SCENES.
SOON, WE SHALL ENTER IT.
THE WHOLE CITY OF JERUSALEM
WHICH
GENERATIONS HAVE DREAMED OF
AND
LONGED FOR.
WE WILL BE THE FIRST TO
ENTER.
AND RUNNING THROUGH THE
STREETS OF
JERUSALEM UNDER THREAT OF
SNIPER FIRE
TO TAKE THE TEMPLE MOUNT AND
WESTERN
WALL.
WE HAD DONE ANOTHER
DOCUDRAMA WITH
THE HOPE AT THE BEGINNING OF
ISRAEL
AND WE THOUGHT WHAT'S THE
NEXT
CHAPTER IN THAT STORY AND WE
WENT TO
'67 AND IT'S SUCH A GREAT
STORY. WE
THOUGHT, LET'S NOT DO A DRY
DOCUMENTARY.
LET'S TALK TO THE MEN THAT
LIVED IT.
GOING THROUGH IT ETC,
THAT MUST
HAVE BEEN AN ENORMOUS
UNDERTAKING.
I TRIED TO USE AS MANY
PEOPLE'S
STORIES AND DIARIES AND
PERSONAL
INTERVIEWS.
BUT ALL THE DIALOGUE IN THE
FILM WAS
RECORDED IN HISTORY.
AS FOR THE DOCUDRAMA IT
TRIPLED IN
SIZE TO WIN THE DESERT.
IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN TOO
LONG SO WE
NARROWED IT DOWN TO THE
PARATROOPERS.
THEY WERE THE FATHERS, THE
BUSINESSMEN AND THEY WERE
THE GUYS
THAT ENDED UP GOING INTO
JERUSALEM.
INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR
THAT TO
CHANGE. LET'S GO.
I MEAN, THESE ACTORS ARE
VERY
REALISTIC.
THEY WERE GREAT.
DID THEY HAVE AN EFFECT
ON THE
ACTORS THEMSELVES BECAUSE
THIS IS IN
MANY CASES THEIR FATHERS,
THEIR
GRANDFATHERS.
HOW DID THEY RESPOND TO
THAT?
I HAD A LOT OF GUYS TELL
ME ABOUT
THEIR PERSONAL HISTORY.
ONE TOLD ME ABOUT HIS
GRANDFATHER WAS
IN THE HOLOCAUST AND ONE GUY
TOLD ME
ABOUT HIS FATHER WHO SAW THE
WHOLE
SIEGE.
THE GIRL WANTED TO SEE
THE FLAG
FLOWN AT THE WESTERN WALL.
THAT
BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES.
ACTUALLY THE PARATROOPER
WHO IS
PART OF THAT STORY, I ASKED
HIM DID
YOU EVER SEE THAT FAMILY
AGAIN AND HE
SAID HE DID.
A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE WAR,
THE
GRANDMOTHER PASSED AWAY. SHE
LIVED
THROUGH ALL OF THAT AND
HOPED TO SEE
JERUSALEM REUNITED.
FROM THAT TIME TO THE
START.
WAS THERE ANYTHING YOU
UNCOVERED THAT
YOU JUST DIDN'T KNOW
ANYTHING AT ALL?
WHAT'S INTERESTING TO ME,
WHEN
THESE PARATROOPERS CAME INTO
TOWN
THEY WERE HEROES. KEEP IN
MIND THERE
WAS A BLACKOUT.
THERE WAS ALL OF THIS GOING
ON AND
YET THESE WOMEN CAME OUT
WITH FOOD.
WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM
IT?
FROM THE PERSONAL SIDE,
YOU SEE
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SO MANY
PEOPLE GET
TOGETHER WHETHER IT'S
TRAINING THE
ARMY, WHETHER IT'S DOING
MAKE-UP OR
WHETHER IT'S DOING
EXPLOSIVES. IN THE
TIMES OF WAR, THERE IS SO
MANY THINGS
YOU CAN DO IN LIFE AND JUST
TO PLAN
AND LIVING SOMETHING TO SEE
THAT
RESULTS IN THE WAY IT DID,
OR WHERE
YOU ARE TRAINING
PARATROOPERS AND
LIFE THROWS YOU SOMETHING
ELSE AND
HOW YOU ADAPT TO THAT.
WHAT DID YOU TAKE AWAY
FROM THE
FILM?
TWO THINGS.
I TRY TO KEEP IT A POLITICAL
AS
POSSIBLE.
I WANTED THEM TO SEE THE
SACRIFICE
THAT THESE MEN MADE AND NO.
2, WE
WENT BACK TO 1948 WHEN THEY
FELL AND
WHEN THE JORDANIAN OFFICER
SAID THAT
WE HAVE DESTROYED THIS PLACE
THAT NO
JEW COULD RETURN HERE AND
THEN WE
FAST FORWARDED TO WHERE THEY
DID.
HOW WILL PEOPLE SEE THE
FILM
I THINK IT'S GOOD.
THERE IS NO WAY THAT
ISRAEL JEWS
ARE GOING TO GIVE UP THIS
CITY.
NO. I DON'T THINK SO.
WHEN HE CAME
TO THE WALL HE SAID WE CAME
TO THIS
CITY NEVER TO DEPART AGAIN.
JERUSALEM.
Pat: MIKE IS A GOOD FILM
CRITIC.
THE THING IS ABSOLUTELY
FANTASTIC AND
CINEMATOGRAPHY.
IT'S A BIBLICAL PIECE, WELL,
IT'S
GOING TO BE AVAILABLE WHEN?
VERY SOON. "IN OUR HANDS,
THE
BATTLE FOR FOR JERUSALEM"
HITS
THEATRES ON MAY 23, FOR A
ONE NIGHT
ONLY FATHOM EVENT.
MAY 23, JUST GO TO "IN OUR
HANDS
1967.COM" TO GET YOUR
TICKETS.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT.
Pat: IT'S COMBINED IN
THEATRES AND
THEY WILL OFFER MORE NIGHTS.
IF THEY SELL OUT, THAT'S
THEIR
BUSINESS TO HAVE PEOPLE IN
THE SEATS.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO
SELL OUT. I
REALLY DO.
IT'S FANTASTIC.
Pat: YOU KNOW, I'M A REAL
CRITIC OF
REAL GOOD CINEMATOGRAPHY.
IT'S GREAT.
THE FIRST TIME I WAS IN
ISRAEL I
WAS WITH AARON AND NEVER
DREAMED SHE
WOULD MAKE A MOVIE.
SHE IS GREAT.
THEY TOOK HER AWAY TO ISRAEL
AND SHE
HASN'T COME BACK.
SHE HASN'T COME BACK.
I THINK IT'S A TRUE LOVE
AFFAIR.
WELL, COMING UP, HER HOME
WAS LIKE A
TORNADO, ONLY FAR MORE
DESTRUCTIVE.
THERE WAS ALWAYS ANOTHER
DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE CASE.
WHY SHE SAYS HER LIFE IS
BROKEN
NO MORE. THAT'S UP NEXT.
NO MORE. THAT'S UP NEXT.
Pat: YOU ARE WATCHING THE
"700
CLUB". WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS
PROGRAM
FOR YOU AND THIS STORY WILL
TOUCH
YOUR HEART. A GIRL NAMED
MARYANN, HER
FATHER WAS A DRUNK, HER
MOTHER WAS A
DRUG ADDICT.
IT WAS NO SURPRISE WHEN
MARYANN WAS
12, HER BEST FRIENDS WHY
JACK DANIELS
AND COKE. SOON MARYANN WAS
FOLLOWING
IN HER PARENTS FOOTSTEPS. AT
THE TIME
SHE WANTED AN ANGEL TO COME
RESCUE
HER AND ONE DID IN THE FORM
OF A
FIGHTER PILOT.
MY TIME GROWING UP WAS
WITH AN
ABUSIVE DAD AND ALCOHOLISM.
IF I CAN DESCRIBE IT IN A
WEATHER
REPORT IT WOULD BE A
TORNADO.
UNPREDICTABLE.
MARYANN'S DAD WAS AN
ALCOHOLIC WHO
BEAT HER MOM AND THREATENED
HER WITH
GUNS.
IT WAS ALSO ANOTHER
DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE CASE.
MARYANN WAS 12 WHEN SHE
PICKED UP
HER FATHER'S HABITS.
WHAT WAS MISSING IN MY
LIFE WAS
PEACE, WAS LOVE. I FELT
ABANDONED MY
ENTIRE LIFE. I FELT LIKE A
MISTAKE.
MARYANN'S FATHER DIED OF
CANCER
WHEN SHE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL
BUT HE
STILL HAD AN IMPACT ON HER
LIFE. SHE
MARRIED A MAN SIMILAR TO
HIM.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
DIFFERENT.
AFTER THAT, SHE WENT TO
ALCOHOL.
I WENT FROM BED TO BED
TRYING TO
FIND LOVE AND DRINKING. I
DRANK UNTIL
I BLACKED OUT.
THEN, MARYANN MET
MICHAEL. A
FIGHTER PILOT WHO WAS ALSO A
CHRISTIAN. UNLIKE MOST OF
THE MEN SHE
PURSUED, HE REFUSED HER
SEXUAL
ADVANCES.
INSTEAD HE STARTED SHARING
JESUS
CHRIST AND INVITED HER TO
CHURCH.
WHEN I SAW THAT HE DIDN'T
HAVE TO
DRINK AND HIS VALUES WEREN'T
CAUGHT
ON BEING A FIGHTER PILOT, I
REALIZED
I NEEDED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT
JESUS.
HER CONTINUED BOUTS WITH
DRUNKENNESS, MADE HIM
REALIZE SHE WAS
IN PAIN.
SOMETHING HAD TO GIVE. I
KNEW SHE
WAS STRUGGLING WITH GOD.
SHE VISITED MICHAEL READY
TO SHARE
HER STORY. MICHAEL
IMMEDIATELY
THOUGHT HER LIFE RESONATED
WITH THE
BOOK OF JOB.
WHY THE BOOK OF JOB?
BECAUSE IT
WAS TELLING ME THIS WAS A
MATCH TO
POOR JOB WHO LOST IT ALL.
AS MICHAEL BEGAN TO SHARE
THE
STORY WITH HER, NEITHER OF
THEM HAD
ANY IDEA HOW HER LIFE WOULD
CHANGE.
MY HEART BEGAN TO
TRANSPIRE AND
GOD BEGAN TO SPEAK TO ME
IMMEDIATELY.
IN THAT MOMENT, I REALIZED
IT AND I
THANKED GOD.
EVERYTHING WAS MADE NEW IN
THAT
MOMENT. I WAS CRYING BECAUSE
I WAS SO
HAPPY. IT WAS LIKE IF I
COULD
BREATHE, I FELT FREE, I FELT
ALIVE
LIKE WHAT IS THIS.
I NEVER FELT THIS IN MY LIFE.
NO AMOUNT OF DRINKING, NO
AMOUNT OF
GETTING HIGH HAS EVER BEEN
ABLE TO
COMPARE TO THIS LOVE.
AT THAT MOMENT, MARYANN
SURRENDERED HER HEART TO
JESUS.
WHEN I REPENTED AND GAVE
MY LIFE
TO GOD AND I ASKED HIM TO
FORGIVE ME
OF ALL OF THAT VIAL
BACKGROUND, HE
DELIVERED ME FROM ALCOHOL.
2 WEEKS LATER, MIKE DID
SOMETHING
HE WANTED TO DO SINCE SHE
GAVE HER
LIFE TO CHRIST. HE PROPOSED
TO
MARYANN. HE SAYS GOD GAVE
HIM A SIGN
OF PROMISE.
I SAID, OKAY, GOD, THIS
IS GOOD,
THIS IS FUNNY.
I HAD NO RESERVATION. I
JUST
FLOATED ON DOWN. I COULDN'T
WAIT TO
BE MRS. McMELLON.
TODAY THE McMELLON'S HAVE
TWO
CHILDREN AND THEY STARTED A
MINISTRY
CALLED "BROKEN, NO MORE" AND
MARYANN
HAS STARTED HER FREEDOM TO
AN ALCOHOL
FREE LIFE.
THERE IS NO ALCOHOL. MY
IDENTITY
IS I AM ONE WITH GOD AND THE
EVIL
CAN'T TOUCH ME. THERE IS A
GOD WHO
LOVES YOU MORE, AND HE
DOESN'T SEE
YOUR SIN. HE SEE'S HIS BLOOD.
YOU ARE NOT TOO DAMAGED TO
REACH OUT
AND TOUCH THE SAME GOD WHO
TOUCHED ME.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK
THE SAME
GOD WHO RESCUED ME TO RESCUE
USE AND
GOD WILL USE WHAT IS MEANT
FOR EVIL
FOR YOUR GOOD. I PROMISE.
Pat: WHAT A TESTIMONY. NO
AMOUNT OF
DRUGS, NO AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL
COULD
GIVE ME A FEELING LIKE THIS.
THIS WAS
THE MOST WONDERFUL THING
THAT
HAPPENED.
I WAS TOUCHED BY GOD.
YOU SEE THERE IS A GOD.
THE ETERNITY THAT IS OUT
THERE AND
THE WAY WE ARE SAVED IS NOT
THROUGH
THE WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
THAT WE
HAVE DONE, BUT BY HIS OWN
BLOOD HE
SAVED US. HE SAVED US
BECAUSE HE DIED
FOR US AND IT'S POWERFUL.
ALSO, I'M
NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF
JESUS
FOR ALL WHO BELIEVE.
MARYANN, WILL YOU SAVE YOUR
DAY FOR
REDEMPTION? NO SHE HASN'T.
SHE SAYS I'M A CHILD OF GOD,
A
TRANSFORMED PERSON. THAT'S
WHAT HE'LL
DO FOR YOU. HE'LL TRANSFORM
YOU AND
FORGIVE EVERYTHING YOU DID
WRONG. ALL
OF YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS WILL
BE
FORGOTTEN AND TAKEN AWAY
FROM YOU AND
YOU WILL BE GIVEN A NEW LIFE
IN JESUS
CHRIST. THAT'S WHAT HE'S
OFFERING YOU
AND WHAT WE ARE OFFERING YOU
RIGHT
NOW.
YOU WILL BE A NEW CREATION
IN GOD.
YOU SAY, I WANT WHAT MARYANN
HAD. I
WANT IT.
I DON'T WANT TO LIVE THAT
OLD STUFF.
I DON'T WANT TO BE A SLAVE
TO
ALCOHOL, I DON'T WANT TO BE
A SLAVE
TO DRUGS. I WANT TO BE FREE.
IF YOU
DO, ALL I ASK YOU TO DO
RIGHT NOW IS
TO BOW YOUR HEAD AND PRAY
WITH ME.
REACH OUT TO YOUR FAITH, BY
FAITH YOU
ARE SAVED.
NOT BY WORDS.
BY FAITH YOU ARE SAVED. THE
GIFT OF
GOD. PRAY THIS PRAYER.
BOW YOUR HEAD.
TAKE THE GIFT THAT'S
OFFERED.
LORD, JESUS, THAT'S RIGHT,
PRAY WITH
ME.
LORD, JESUS, AT THIS MOMENT
I COME TO
YOU. I DON'T COME AS SOMEONE
WHO IS
FILLED WITH HOLINESS. I COME
AS
SOMEBODY WHO IS SIMPLE. I
KNOW THAT
YOU DIED FOR SINNERS AND YOU
DIED FOR
ME. RIGHT NOW I TURN AWAY
FROM THE
LIFE I HAVE LIVED AND I COME
TO YOU
AND SAY, GOD, SAVE ME, COME
INTO MY
HEART.
FILL ME WITH YOURSELF AND
MAY THE
POWER OF GOD DWELL IN MY
LIFE FROM
THIS TIME ON.
I'M YOURS, LORD.
AND I THANK YOU.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AMEN.
IF YOU
PRAYED WITH ME, LET YOUR
POWER OF
YOUR ANOINTING BE THERE.
KEEP THEM IN
YOUR WORD IN JESUS NAMING.
WHAT A TIME. IF YOU PRAYED
THAT
PRAYER AND GIVE YOUR HEART
TO THE
LORD, YOU ARE WONDERING WHAT
DO I DO
NEXT? YOU ARE JUST
STARTING. WHAT DO
I DO NEXT? THIS LITTLE
THING HAS 3
MINUTES OF CONCENTRATION AND
WILL
TELL YOU WHAT TO DO NEXT AND
WHAT GOD
HAS DONE FOR YOU AND WILL
TELL YOU
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS
ACCORDING TO
THE SCRIPTURE IN TERMS OF
YOUR LIFE.
I WILL GIVE THIS TO YOU.
IT'S CALLED
A NEW DAY. IT'S A BOOKLET.
I WILL GIVE THIS TO YOU FREE
IF YOU
JUST CALL RIGHT NOW AND SAY,
I PRAYED
WITH PAT.
I GAVE MY HEART TO THE LORD.
IT'S A
TOLL-FREE PHONE NUMBER:
1-800-700-7000.
CALL RIGHT NOW.
I JUST PRAYED.
A WONDERFUL THING HAS JUST
BEGUN IN
MY LIFE. WENDY?
Wendy: AMEN. A SINGLE DAD
HAS TO
REBUILD AFTER A TYPHOON
LEVELS HIS
HOME.
THIS STORY WHEN WE COME
BACK.

RIGHT AFTER THIS.
Wendy: WELCOME BACK.
TYPHOON
YOLANDA WAS THE STRONGEST
TYPHOON ON
RECORD WHICH BROUGHT 175
MILES AN
HOUR WINDS. MANY THROUGHOUT
THE MAIN
LAND WERE LEFT HOMELESS
INCLUDING A
SINGLE FATHER NAMED ANTONIO.
ANTONIO WAS ALONE WITH
HIS
CHILDREN WHEN TYPHOON
YOLANDA HIT THE
PHILIPPINES. HIS WIFE
ABANDONED THEM
A YEAR EARLIER.
I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE
SAFE.
THIS IS TERRIFYING. OUR
HOUSE WAS
FALLING APART ALL AROUND US.
ANTONIO AND HIS CHILDREN
SURVIVED,
THEIR HOUSE DID NOT.
WE LOST EVERYTHING IN THE
STORM
EXCEPT THE OLD TV SET.
WE WERE ON THE STREET. I
PRAYED
GOD WOULD HELP US.
ANTONIO BEGGED SOMEONE IN
A NEARBY
VILLAGE BEGGING TO STAY.
THE OWNER COULD TELL ME
TO LEAVE
ANYTIME.
I WORKED IN THE DAYTIME
MAKING
CHICKEN TO SELL. I HAD ONLY
ENOUGH
FOR DAILY MEALS AND NOTHING
FOR HOUSE
REPAIRS.
THEIR HOME WAS ALSO
INFESTED WITH
MOSQUITOS.
I THOUGHT MY CHILDREN
WOULD GET
DENGUE FEVER FROM THE
MOSQUITOS.
THEN HIS FATHER TOLD THEM
IT WAS
TIME TO PACK THEIR THINGS.
THEY WERE
GOING TO MOVE.
I WAS SO HAPPY WE WERE
GOING TO
MOVE AWAY FROM THE
MOSQUITOS.
CBN HELPED THEM BUILD A
NEW HOME
IN A COMMUNITY OF HOPE.
I LIKE OUR NEW HOUSE.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
MY CHILDREN AND I CAN
LIVE HERE
FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES. I
CAN'T
HELP BUT CRY THE TEARS OF
JOY. LORD,
I THANK YOU FOR GIVING MY
FAMILY OUR
OLD HOUSE.
THE HOUSE WILL WITHSTAND
WINDS OF

Wendy: IT'S TIME TO BRING
IT ON
WITH YOUR E-MAIL QUESTIONS.
DIANA
SAYS, AT NIGHT I HAVE BAD
DREAMS THAT
I'M PERISHING BUT I ALWAYS
ASK GOD TO
NEVER LET ME PARISH AND I
KEEP HAVING
THESE DREAMS AND I NEED TO
FEEL SAFE.
AM I UNDER ATTACK?
Pat: I CAN'T SAY WITH
SPECIFICITY
WHAT YOU ARE. BUT THERE IS
THIS, A
DEMONIC DEPRESSION AND
DEMONIC
OPPRESSION. THERE ARE DEMONS
IN THE
WORLD AND THEY ARE
OPPRESSIVE. IF YOU
GO BACK IN YOUR LIFE AND
THINK OF A
TIME WHEN YOU GO BACK AND
DID YOU
PLAY WITH A OUIJA BOARD AND
GO TO
SAYONCE AND WERE YOU EXPOSED
TO THAT.
YOU NEED TO ASK GOD TO
COMMAND TO
LEAVE YOU.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE?
4 YEARS AGO, I WAS GOING
THROUGH
AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TIME.
MY
DAUGHTER LEFT TO SCHOOL
THOUSANDS OF
MILES AWAY AND I FELT THAT
MANY YEARS
OF MY LIFE WERE GONE TO. IT
WAS
DIFFICULT. I WAS LOST WITH A
SENSE OF
PURPOSE, I FELT LIKE A
FAILURE, I
LOST MY DAUGHTER AND FRIENDS.
WE LOST OUR HOME AND I WENT
THROUGH
POVERTY. I GRIEVED MY OWN
LOSS. IF MY
CHILD DOESN'T EVEN NEED ME,
THEN WHAT
IS MY PURPOSE IN LIFE.
Pat: I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN.
THEY IN
TURN HAVE BROUGHT FORTH 14
GRANDCHILDREN. I NOW HAVE 10
GREAT
GRANDCHILDREN. I HAVE A WIFE
THAT I
HAVE BEEN MARRIED TO FOR 62
YEARS. MY
CHILDREN HAVE GROWN UP AND I
HOPE
THEY GET ATTACHED TO THEIR
SPOUSES
AND THEY HAVE AN INDEPENDENT
LIFE
APART FROM ME. THAT'S WHAT
YOU HOPE.
YOU HOPE YOUR KIDS GROW UP
AND LEAVE
HOME. AND THIS IS WHERE A
MAN SHALL
LEAVE HIS MOTHER AND FATHER
AND
CLEAVE TO HIS WIFE AND THEY
WILL FORM
A NEW HOUSEHOLD. THE FACT
THAT YOU
ARE HUNG UP ON YOUR
16-YEAR-OLD, THIS
KID HAS DECIDED IT'S TIME TO
GROW UP
AND LEAVE MOM. THAT'S WHAT
YOU DO.
YOU DON'T LET IT DESTROY
YOUR LIFE.
YOU NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING.
IF YOU HAVE A HUSBAND, OR IF
YOUR
HUSBAND IS DEAD, YOU NEED TO
FIND A
LIFE APART FROM YOUR
CHILDREN. WHEN
YOU HAVE CHILDREN THEY GROW
UP AND
YOU HOPE THEY GATHER AROUND
THE
FAMILY FOR EVENTS.
BUT WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS
PLAN YOUR
LIFE FOR YOURSELF.
AND IF YOU LET THESE
FEELINGS COME
ABOUT YOU THAT BRING DEATH
AND
DESTRUCTION. START
REJOICING. THIS IS
THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE
AND CONFESS
IT DAY AFTER DAY INSTEAD OF
THINKING
WHAT PURPOSE YOU HAVE IN
LIFE. YOUR
PURPOSE WAS YOU HAD A CHILD
AND YOUR
CHILD HAS GROWN UP AND LEFT.
THAT WAS YOUR PURPOSE. NOW
YOUR
PURPOSE IS WITH GOD AND
ENJOY HIM
FOREVER. SPEND YOUR TIME
ENJOYING THE
LORD.
Wendy: AS LONG AS WE HAVE
LIFE WE
HAVE A PURPOSE.
A PURPOSE, YOU CAN LOVE,
YOU CAN
GO TO FEED THE POOR AND GO
TO
HOMELESS SHELTERS AND SERVE
MEALS.
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WILL
WELCOME WHAT
YOU DO.
Wendy: ANOTHER STORY. MY
HUSBAND
TOLD ME THAT SPEAKING IN
TONGUES IS
WRONG AND GAVE ME BACK UP.
IS THIS TRUE?
Pat: I SPEAK IN TONGUES
MORE THAN
YOU ALL. YOUR SPIRIT
COMMUNICATES
WITH THE LORD AND BY PASSES
THE JURY
SITTING NEXT TO YOU TELLING
YOU THAT
YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT.
IF YOU ARE ASSEMBLED
TOGETHER AND
SOMEONE SPEAKS IN TONGUES
THERE
SHOULD BE AN INTERPRETER.
YOU DON'T WANT A WHOLE GROUP
OF
PEOPLE BABBLING IN A
DIFFERENT
LANGUAGE.
IT'S CRAZY. THAT'S WHAT THE
APOSTLE
PAUL SAID. IF YOU HAVE YOUR
INTERPRETING THEN DO YOUR
OWN. YOU
HAVE TO, LET ME SHOW YOU.
WE ARE TO
BE FREE IN THE LORD, FREE IN
GOD,
FREE IN THE SPIRIT. WE ARE
NOT HUNG
UP ON ALL THIS.
BE FREE IN GOD.
Wendy: WASN'T PAUL WHO
SAID I SPEAK
IN TONGUES MORE THAN ALL OF
YOU.
Pat: YES, HE SAYS I SPEAK
IN
TONGUES MORE THAN ALL OF
YOU. IN THE
VERNACULAR, 10,000 WORDS.
Wendy: WE ARE DOING HOME
REPAIRS,
WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO GET
IT DONE.
DO WE PAY TITHES FOR IT TO
GET IT
DONE. DO WE PAY TITHES ON
THE MONEY
WE TAKE OUT ON A LOAN?
YOU KNOW, THERE WERE SOME
YEARS
AGO THAT I HAD A CAR.
IT WAS MY ONLY POSSESSION.
SOMEBODY
GAVE ME A CAR AND I GOT A
LOAN
AGAINST THE CAR AND I GAVE A
TITHE
OUT OF THE LOAN. THAT'S
BECAUSE THAT
WAS ME. IF YOU BORROW MONEY,
THAT'S
NOT INCOME. THAT'S A DEBT.
SO YOU DON'T QUOTE HALF THE
TITHE.
IF YOU GET A MORTGAGE -- ON
YOUR
HOUSE, YOU DON'T TITHE ON
THE
MORTGAGE.
THAT'S NOT INCOME, THAT'S A
DEBT.
IF YOU WANT TO GET
TECHNICAL, THAT'S
TECHNICAL. A TITHE IS NOT
REQUIRED
FROM MONEY YOU ARE BORROW.
THIS IS ANOTHER ONE. HE
SAYS I'M
14 YEARS OLD AND I QUESTION
MY
CONSCIENCE AND I FEEL GUILTY
WHEN I
DON'T PRAY A CERTAIN WAY. I
WATCH
VIDEOS THAT INCLUDE POTIONS
AND I
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I NEED HELP.
CONSCIENCE IS A LEARNED
THING. YOU
LEARN STUFF. KIDS DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S
GOING ON AND THEY ARE JUST
FORMING
AND SO YOU DON'T KNOW
WHETHER YOU
HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG OR
NOT. YOU
MUST BE INVOLVED IN
SOMETHING THAT IS
HYPER LEGALISTIC TO GET ALL
OF THOSE
PHOBIAS. THOSE GAMES YOU ARE
PLAYING
DON'T SOUND GOOD TO ME AT
ALL. I
THINK YOU SHOULD GIVE THAT
UP. YOUR
CONSCIENCE IS SOMETHING YOU
LEARN.
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WHEN GOD
SPEAKS TO
YOU. THAT'S ALL THE TIME
WENDY AND I
HAVE GOT.
WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW. BYE,
BYE.
BYE.
