On today's show.
I don't care what it is, what
you've been through, what
you've done, you can say that
the heart's too far gone. It's
never too far gone for the
Lord.
[MUSIC]
Welcome to the 700 Club
Canada. I'm Brian Warren.
And I'm Laura-Lynn Tyler
Thompson, and we love that
you are spending this half
hour with us.
On today's show, you'll see
how bad news can actually
open the door for a miracle.
Absolutely. You know, is
there something that has
happened to you or someone
you know that could only be
described as a miracle?
Well, I've seen that a number
of times.
Yes.
And, you know, it's-it's
interesting because as we get
an opportunity to not only
interview people but also
we get an opportunity to
travel across the nation.
Yes.
So many people come up and
they say, "I was healed while
I was watching the 700 Club."
Wow.
When this Word came forth
and
Absolutely.
I meet so many people now
n grocery stores.
Yeah.
I remember just recently I
met a woman in Shoppers Drug
Mart and she said, "Are you
She told you a story.
No, but she's like
Yeah.
Are you
Are you the-the Brian Warren?
Well, and-and you know what?
t's just kind of
funny
Right here in Shoppers?
She didn't really say all of
that, right, but she just said,
"Are you?" I said, "I think
so."
Yeah, yeah. That's great.
And then she began to tell
me about
What God did.
What God did in her life.
Wow.
And how He's been working
in her mother and working in
their family.
Yes.
And-and I said, "Thank you."
So true.
"Thank you for sharing."
Praise God.
So I pray that you're
watching. I told you I'd pull
my ear so you'd know.
Yeah.
So this is for you.
You know, I just-I-I heard
a story recently of a woman.
er mother was dying of
cancer and there was no hope.
And, you know, it wasn't going
well, and she was distant from
her mom. But she had a video
where she could see her mom
twenty-four hours a day.
Wow.
And the sister called her
and said, "Look at Mom. Look
at Mom." So she tunes into
the video and her mom is kind
of talking to the ceiling. No
one's inhisere with this
shiny bright light that is
coming down. In the video
it's visible. You could see
it. And then, you know, and
she was just kind of talking
and then the nurse came in
and it khe light went
away. Ithey knewt
that their Mom was just being
surrounded and loved by angels
as her final days were coming.
And to know the Lord, yeah.
You know, just angelic and
miraculous. And that's the God
of love that we serve.
Well, it is and that's what
ob said. He said, "I
know my redeemer lives and
I shall see Him in the flesh.
Yes.
You know, later in the show,
we have a special interview
with well-known evangelist,
Franklin Graham. He sits down
with Laura-Lynn for part two
of their discussion on faith
and family.
But first, a mother refuses
to believe the tragic news
that her baby will die in her
womb. Stay tuned for this
miracle story.
Take a look.
[MUSIC]
I was about thirty-two weeks
when I felt that something
was wrong with my pregnancy.
I felt very tired and my back
was hurting a lot. Something
in me said something was wrong
ith my pregnancy. Bt
again I just kind of ignored
it. We had to go to my
friend's house in the evening.
It was around six, seven at
night. I went up the stairs
and I started feeling liquid
and I just told my husband,
"This is not right." And I
just felt that I had to go to
the hospital. I remember
asking that lady that did the
ultrasouo give me the
numbers. They explained to
etween a ten
and a twenty-two, that's a
normal range for the fluid.
Amniotic fluid. But when they
checked mine, it was a seven.
So it was lower than normal.
And then two days after I
believe it was a five point
three, and I was afraid. And
I was watching TV and it was
when I was going through the
t
700 Club. They said, "Oh,
there's this lady that is
worried about her baby." I
was very focused, especially
on that moment.
And you are so fearful that
something's wrong with this
baby. Juhat spirit of fear
is gone now in Jesus' name, and
you are going to enjoy the rest
of this pregnancy and deliver
a perfectly healthy baby.
I just started sobbing. I
warmth
in my body. And I just said,
"This is for me. This has to
be for me." And after that, I
ny more
fear, and I just told the Lord,
"If you want my baby to be
born now, it's fine." My
pastor came and he actually
felt it. He's like, "Your room
feels very peaceful. You feel
very peaceful." And we
worship more there that day
I remember, and they kept
giving me ultrasounds like
every other day and the water
started going up, up, and up.
id the
ultrasound, she's like, "I've
never seen this before."
Actually every time that a
lady gets ruptured there and
the labor starts to come out,
there's no going back.
You're going to have your baby
at that time. And after the
eleventhhe eleven days when
ou're
ready to go home." I was able
to keep her inside of me until
her due date. Fear always is
around the corner, and God
is the one that takes that fear
away from you. And again you
trust Him. You have to learn
to trust in Him. God did
miracles when Jesus was here.
He still does it, but we just
have to have that faith, that
trust in Him that He's there
for us all the time, and I'm
living proof that if you put
your trust in Him, He does
everything. You just let Him
do it.
[MUSIC]
Laura-Lynn, what a powerful
testimony.
Absolutely. And, you know,
when the technician is saying
like this never happens, you
know, that the amniotic fluid
is actually increasing, you
know, for women and who have
been through pregnancies and
you know how things go
naturally, this was a miracle.
This was a divine intervention
of God. And, you see,
sometimes we go through things
and, you know, we don't know
oes prayer still work?
And some of you are facing some
really tough things right now.
And I hope this story
encourages you that God's a
miracle-working God. He
reverses time. He can stop
the sun in its tracks. He can
make a way where there seems
to be no way. He can cut
cancer off. He can do those
things that all of us pray and
hope that He can do. But,
you know, when we have faith,
according to our faith and if
we just stand strong and we
trust Him. You know, God is
sovereign, and He always
answers of course according to
His will and purpose.
I think the most important
thing that you have to remember
is while God has already put
something in you, and it's
called a measure of faith.
Wow.
And that's what Romans 12:3
says. And because of that,
it's not what you do. It's
not even what you feel. Faith
is supernatural.
Right.
And that's why if you're
in a place right now and you
need that, I want to get
something into your hands.
And it's called The Secrets
of the Supernatural. It costs
you absolutely nothing, but
it helps you begin to
understand how to reach
with your fingers of faith
beyond what you can see and
bring that into the
manifestation of what God is
calling for His glory. And
1-855-759-0700. Prayer
partners are standing by
and request that.
You know, I mean it's
interesting, Brian. Like we
all deal with the five senses.
Yeah.
You know, what we can see
with our eyes and hear and
touch and feel, you know, and
and this is supernatural is
outside of the natural.
Well, and that's right
because we live on this side
in the natural.
Yes. That's good.
But faith makes possible
This.
what grace made possible.
Right.
So faith claims what grace
made possible, and it pulls it
into this realm, and that's why
it's so important for you to
understand without faith it's
impossible to please God. So
just stand on the Word of God
and believe Him and believe
that that miracle is on the
way.
Absolutely. Coming up after
the break, an unplanned
pregnancy gives Megan a new
lease on life.
[MUSIC]
I have a little boy that's
drowned and I think we're too
late.
I was fighting for my life.
Folks, there's a power
beyond the realm of human
intellect.
I just said, "Lord, what is
going on?"
You're about to meet the
real people who have come
face-to-face with that power.
I don't know why He allowed
me to live but He did.
They experienced what we
would consider miracles in
their lives.
[MUSIC]
It was scary getting up there
for the first time and you're
vulnerable because I was
thinking about what do they
think? Do I look good enough?
Megan spent most of her
childhood alone. Her parents
were divorced, and her mother
worked long hours. When she
was molested at her elementary
school by a male tutor, no one
believed her.
They were like, "He would
never do that. He's not that
type of person, Megan. Stop
lying."
The tutor molested Megan a
second time. Those experiences
left her sexualized at a young
age, and her many hours alone
gave her access to adult
entertainment.
And so I would watch things
on TV. You know, pornography
would come up on the television
and I would watch it. I
actually started calling the
nine hundred numbers and
talking to people.
When Megan was fourteen,
she began having sex with older
men.
Some of them were married.
Some of them weren't and
was so
desperate for attention. After
the act was over in all of
these instances, I was numb.
I was so broken and lost
from a young age. Honestly,
I didn't feel anything.
Megan was just starting high
school when her aunt and
uncle who were Christians,
felt compelled to invite her
to come live with them. She
moved from Texas to Michigan.
The first time I stepped
inside of my aunt and uncle's
church, it was an overwhelming
sense of peace that I had never
ever felt in my entire life.
A sense of warmth and love.
Megan gave her life to Christ
and attended a Christian
school. But before long, she
started acting out sexually
again.
When I would be around boys,
I would hat feeling would
come back up again and then I
would just fall right back into
it.
Megan returned to Texas at
eighteen and was working as a
waitress when a friend asked
her if she had ever considered
dancing in a strip club.
And I looked at her and I was
like, "No, but that sure does
sound like fun." I mean I
got excited, you know,
had always been
liking attention. Like I loved
attention.
Megan's excitement was
short-lived.
You portray this person like
everything's okay and that
everything's beautiful and
glamorous on the outside.
To see the look on the men's
faces when you're up there,
the way that they look at you,
it's disgusting.
But Megan needed the money
and in order to keep dancing,
she started drinking and then
tried cocaine.
And I was hooked at that
moment because it was just
a huge rush for me. At least
six months I did cocaine every
night and every day nonstop.
To support her growing drug
habit, Megan needed more than
the income she made dancing.
I realized a quicker way to
make money was to get women
to do what you wanted them
to do. Well, if I had a
customer come in that wanted
something specific, I would
find someone and tell them this
is what you're going to do and
do it.
Megan became the club's
madam, and her alcohol and
drug abuse escalated. One
night, ashamed of how far she
had fallen, she closed herself
in her bathroom and took a
bottle of pills. Then she
reached for a razor.
I did not want to take
another breath. The pain
that was inside of my spirit
was so achingly horrible, the
things that I had done, that
just to breathe hurt my body.
And I began to slit my wrists.
And then I felt a little bit of
God's presence because I had
been taught the difference
between heaven and hell. I had
sat through sermons where I had
heard God's Word. And all I
could think about in that
moment was going to hell and
I didn't want to go to hell.
And I knew that there was
something better for my life.
Megan put away the razor
and slept off the drugs. She
didn't know what else to do
so she continued to work at
the club as a madam. She
also began a new relationship,
and a few months later
discovered she was pregnant.
The Lord met me in the
bathroom that day that I
looked at that pregnancy test
because as soon as I saw that,
I made a decision in that
moment that I was never going
to be the mother that was
going to be a drug-addicted,
alcoholism, promiscuous
mother. And so from that day,
I never picked up drugs again.
I went back to the club one
time the next day. As soon
as I walked in that club, the
Spirit of the Lord was all over
me and the smell made me
want to vomit. The atmosphere,
the music, and I left and never
went back.
Megan married her baby's
father and gave birth to a son.
She had turned away from the
drugs and the lifestyle, but
she still wasn't free.
Even though I had stopped
drinking, even though I had
stopped drugs, and even
though I had stopped clubbing,
there was still a lot of damage
on the inside of this heart
that had to be worked out.
She and her husband began
going to church together.
There Megan made her final
surrender.
So I just asked the Lord to
forgive me, you know, and just
asked Him to just change my
heart and change my mind
and just make me a new person
from the inside out, and He
did that, and I knew that He
loved me. And I knew that He
could heal me and that He was
healing my heart from my past
hurts and pains. And that was
the moment that I saw the last
breaking of bondage off of my
life, and I remember, man I
felt like I could put some
wings on and literally fly out
of that church. Like it was
just---it was amazing. I will
never forget the way that felt.
Today Megan runs Heels to
Halos, and outreach to women
who work in strip clubs, and
she offers them just what
she's been given, a changed
heart through Jesus Christ.
I don't care what it is,
what you've been through,
what you've done, you can say
that the heart's too far gone.
It's never too far gone for
the Lord because He is the
King of Kings and the Lord of
Lords and He is the Prince of
Peace. And He makes it right.
[MUSIC]
You know, I just love that
testimony. You know, when
Megan said, "Even though I
stopped drinking stuff, doing
drugs and stopped clubbing
and everything else, there was
a lot of damage on the inside."
And it's not just for her.
It's for all of us as well.
But she said, "When I went to
church that day and I couldn't
wait for that altar call, me
and my husband both, I just
leaped out." Literally she
nd
and that means that from her
old life, she received the new
life of Christ. That's what
Galatians 2 and 20 says, that
I've been crucified with
Christ. It is no longer I who
live. That's transfusion. But
it's by faith and the Son of
God who loved me and He gave
Himself for me. What God
promises and He says this as
as early as the Old Testament.
The prophet Ezekiel, he said,
"I'm going to give you a new
heart. I'm going to sprinkle
clean water on you and I'm
going to change you, and that
change is going to be so
significant, it's going to
change other people as well."
I wonder if you've experienced
that change. It's literally
the peace of God coming into
your heart. I'd like to get
something into your hands, and
I want to pray a prayer with
you. If you want that peace
on the inside, it's yours and
it's available. It cost God
everything, but He wants to
give it to you free if you're
willing. Why don't you pray
this prayer with me? Jesus,
I'm tired of pretending. I'm
tired of the old life. I
confess my sin. Come on,
ball up those hands. And now
I turn from that life and I
confess my sin to you and
I ask you to come into my
life. Oh, yeah. Now, open
up those hands. Make me
the person that you want me
to be. Fill me with your Holy
Spirit, I pray, in Jesus' name.
Father, everyone that has
prayed that prayer, I pray now
for your peace to surpass their
understanding. But as you have
written their name in the
Lamb's book of life, let us
celebrate with them now
together. In Jesus' name. If
that's you, say Pastor B, I
received Jesus today.
1-855-759-0700. Prayer
partners are standing by. Yay.

Graham.

Every one of us and people
who are watching are searching
for what does God have for me?
What is my purpose? How do I
know God's call? And I think
of you, you know, born into the
home of Billy Graham, such an
nd you
have ended up following in his
footsteps. But was there a
moment when you knew in your
heart, oh, my goodness, I am
going to be preaching in
crusades across the world as
well?
You know, I've-I've-I've
turned my back on that for
years. I didn't want to
didn't want to preach.
You didn't?
I didn't-didn't want to be
compared to my father.
Right.
And so I just was happy doing
the work at Samaritan's Purse
and building that organization
and goinhe war areas
of the world or the famine
areas or where there were
storms and trying to help
people. But always to try to
tell them about Christ. It
wasn't for any other reason.
You know, if we help someone,
we're going to make sure that
e communicate the
Gospel. But it was a man, a
Canadian evangelist by the
name of John Wesley White.
Wow.
And John Wesley White said,
"I want you to come and
preach where there's lost
people." And so month after
month, year after year.
Finally he said, "Next year,
I'm going to be in Juneau,
Alaska. Why don't you come
to Juneau?' And I thought
okay. Well, I go to Juneau.
I remember giving an
invitation and five people
came forward. Hmm. And
I realized it wasn't anything
that I had done. It was just
the power of the Holy Spirit
of God. I went back to my
room, just got on the floor,
just prostrate on the floor.
Lord, ifoyou want me to
preach evangelistic, then I'll
give you ten percent of my
time to preach evangelistic.
f that's what you
want me to do with my life.
God uses His Word. He doesn't
use my word. He uses His Word.
Wow.
And that's what's important.
I think that's pretty
inspiring for all of us where
we don't always see the fruit
That's right.
at first, but we follow God's
call. That's amazing to hear
that story.
So Canada has had a-a-a
big impact on my life.
That's an honor for us.
Thank you. And it's not only
Canada. It's across the world,
the
he incredible work that
you do to help those. If
there's a crisis, you hear
Samaritan's Purse is there.
Well, I've-like right now
we're working and I was there
last month in Northern Iraq,
right outside of Mosel. The
Iraqi army is trying to take
Mosel back from ISIS. There
are no hospitals. All the
hospitals were destroyed by
ISIS. When I say destroyed,
they took the wiring out of
the wall. They put poison
in the wells so that the
s poisoned.
The boobytrapped everything.
So if you try to go into a home
or even to the hospital or
anything, there's boobytraps.
People get blown up. And
trauma
hospital as the army took back
Mosel for people that were
were wounded, shot, been hit
y IEDs, there was no
place to take them. So the
the
he UN had asked Doctors
Without Borders and Medecins
Sans Froheyeres. They
said, "We're not going to go to
Mosel. They just happened to
say would Samaritan's Purse?
e got two
hospitals that we keep always
on the shelf in our warehouse.
Yeah, we'll put one of our
hospitals up there. They said,
"You will?" Yeah.
Nobody goes there.
But and normally we can
put a hospital up in two days.
This one we couldn't because of
the
he location so close to
the battlefield so it took us
a month from the time we
said yeso put the
blast wall up and to put all
the infrastructure in. But
now the
he hospital is open.
I was there when we first
opened and I'm so impressed
with these doctors and nurses
that risk their life. We're
just eleven miles. I think
it's twenty-three kilometers
from the front line.
Oh, my goodness.
And you can hear the
bombing. You can hear the
shooting.
Wow. And they're there.
And-we're-they're there.
saving people's lives. What
kind of people are coming in?
Are you talking fighters and
the wounded?
We've had mostly civilians.
These would be women and
children for the most part
that have been shot in the
back by ISIS as they're trying
to flee. We do have ISIS
fighters as well. We treat
ith the same
compassion and the same love
as we would anybody that comes
into that hospital.
Right. Is that not the love
of God
Yeah.
That compels a man's heart
to salvation. I mean if
there's any hope at all, it
would be doing what you're
doing for those souls.
Well, it's a great ministry
and a great opportunity. See,
I believe when there is a
crisis, you don't run from it.
You run to it. People need
their
hey need help now.
They don't need it tomorrow,
the next week. They need it
now. So you have to go
now.
Not everybody has that
courage.
Well, you'd be surprised
at the people that go that
you wouldn't think would be
there. These nurses and
doctors hey sayey
to me, "You know, Franklin,
we would have never thought
two months ago that we would
be here. But the Lord spoke to
us." And so what can you do
when the Lord speaks?
Yes. Well, you know, there's
two things as we close, Mr.
Graham. One is considering
all of the difficulties that
are in the world, what is the
the voice, the prophetic voice
that you have for the Christian
church at this time?
Wake up.
If you would give them any
advice.
Wake up because secularism
is destroying our churches.
Our churches are trying to be
politically correct. Our
re trying to
smell like the world, taste
like the world, look like the
world. We're not called to
be like the world. We're in
the world but we're not to be
like the world. We're to be
different. We're to be that
light that's on a hill. We're
e're to be
that shining city and it's
Christ that's giving the light.
We want the world to see
nd the world
is attracted not to things that
look like them. They're
attracted to something that is
different from them cause they
want to know why do you live
like that? Why do you believe
that? And that's what Christ
does. We live a different
life. We live at a different
standard and that in itself is
attractive to the world. We
don't have to be like the world
to be attractive. And so I
would say to the church, be
like Christ and lift up His
name and let God use you to
be a light in a very dark
world, and we are living in a
dark world.
What gives you the strength
to
o be as strong as you a?
You're up against a lot of
pressure.
I-I'd, you know, I think
ure it's easy to run.
nd sometimes you say
you know, why do I even mess
with this? You know, why don't
I just shut my mouth and just
be happy? And but that's not
the way God wired me.
Right.
I-I just can't shut my
mouth because that wouldn't
want to
I want to stand for truth and
I want to honor the Lord.
hen I was
twenty-two years old, I said,
ere's my life. Take
it. Use me and spin me
however you want to use and
spin me." And so if He tells
f I feel in my heart He
wants me to say something or
ou know, it's
voice from
heaven. It's not like, you
know, God yells down from
heaven, Franklin, do this or
do that. It's just an
impression on my heart that
He gives me to go this way or
to go that way or to say this
nd then sometimes
I have people around me, no,
Franklin, don't say that. Why?
Right.
Well, maybe it'd be better if
you say it this way. So
sometimes I have people pull me
people pull me back a little
bit.
You've got some good counsel.
Yes. Yes, sir. Well, we
admire your courage and we're
grateful for it, sir. Would
you do us the extreme honor?
f
you would pray for Canada.
Yeah.
And you would pray for God
to wake us up and to inspire
us to live lives that change
the world.
Let's pray. Father, we thank
you for this great country of
Canada. And, Father, we pray
not only for the people of
this great country, but,
Father, we pray for the church,
that the church would be
strong and that the church
would be standing for truth,
for your Word unashamedly.
And, Father, we know if anyone
confesses their sin and repents
and by faith believes on the
name of your Son Jesus Christ,
invites Him into their heart,
that you will hear from heaven
and forgive their sins and heal
their hearts and give them
eternal life. Father, I pray
that we'll be faithful to you
in everything that we say and
do, and it's in Jesus' name
we pray. Amen.
Amen. I'm so honored.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you.

Well, I'm looking for yours
as well. And we want to leave
you with a power verse as well.
Stand on the Word of God.
It's the unshakable Word of
God. And this is what the
Bible says.
Every good and perfect gift
is from above, coming down from
the Father of the heavenly
lights. He does not change
like shifting shadows.
James 1:17.
I'm getting excited just
hearing it. Until next time.
God bless.
