Gordon: A DRUG LORD

BUILDS AN EMPIRE.

AND LOSES IT OVERNIGHT.

I WAS A MACHO GUY, BUT

INSIDE I WAS A SCARED

LITTLE PUNK.

Gordon: AND THEN...

HER BODY WAS, YOU KNOW,

SHAKING AND QUIVERING.

Gordon: SEIZURES WERE

DESTROYING HER BODY AND

HER MIND.

THIS IS WHAT'S GOING TO

HAPPEN.

HOW DARE YOU PUT SO MUCH

HOPE IN MY LIFE.

Gordon: HER

MIRACULOUS HEALING ON

TODAY'S "700 CLUB."

MY FRIEND SAID, GOD'S

GOT THIS.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

HE'S GOT THIS.

*

Gordon: HELLO, AND

WELCOME TO "THE 700 CLUB."

FOR TODAY'S TOP HEADLINES,

LET'S GO TO THE CBN

NEWSDESK.

Charlene: GORDON,

PRESIDENT TRUMP DOESN'T

WANT THE SENATE TO GIVE UP

ON ITS EFFORTS TOWARDS

HEALTH CARE.

NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THEY

WON'T LEAVE FOR SUMMER

RECESS UNTIL THEY VOTE ON

ANOTHER HEALTH CARE PLAN.

GARY LANE HAS THE STORY.

Reporter: PRESIDENT

TRUMP SUMMONED REPUBLICAN

SENATORS TO THE WHITE

HOUSE FOR LUNCH, BUT

INSTEAD OF BEING SERVED

JUST CHICKEN OR STEAK,

THEY RECEIVED A STEARN

PREJUDICIAPRESIDENTIAL LECTURE ON

COMMITMENT.

President Trump: FOR

SEVEN YEARS YOU PROMISED

PEOPLE YOU WOULD REPEAL

OBAMACARE.

PEOPLE ARE HURTING.

AND, FRANKLY, I DON'T

THINK WE SHOULD LEAVE TOWN

UNLESS WE HAVE A HEALTH

INSURANCE PLAN.

Reporter: SENATE

REJECTION OF THE MOST

RECENT HEALTH CARE

PROPOSAL DISAPPOINTED THE

PRESIDENT, AND WITH A

GROWING NUMBER OF G.O.P.

SENATORS NOW SAYING THEY

WON'T VOTE FOR OBAMACARE

REPEAL WITHOUT A

REPLACEMENT, MITCHELL

McCONNELL IS FOCUSING IN

ON NEW HEALTH CARE

LEGISLATION.

THE NEW BILL UP FOR

CONSIDERATION IS ACTUALLY

AN OLD ONE, APPROVED BY

THE SENATE IN 2015,

REPEALING OBAMACARE.

IT INCLUDES ONE MAJOR

DIFFERENCE FROM THE BILL

FOR NEW HEALTH CARE SYSTEM

THAT THE SENATE JUST

REJECTED, SENATORS WILL BE

ABLE TO OFFER CHANGES.

WIDE OPEN FOR

AMENDMENT, NO MATTER WHAT

I OFFER AS A SUBSTITUTE

FIRST, IT IS FULLY

AMENDABLE.

Reporter: BUT

SENATORS MUST FIRST AGREE

TO LET THE NEW LEGISLATION

COME UP FOR A VOTE.

$$2 BILLION IN FUNDING TO

HELP STATES PAY FOR

MEDICAID EXPANSION.

THAT MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO

PICK UP SEVERAL MODERATE

REPUBLICAN VOTES, BUT

SENATOR RAND PAUL SAYS

HE'LL OPPOSE ANY BILL THAT

PROVIDEPROVIDES MORE BIG

GOVERNMENT BAILOUTS.

HE BELIEVES PRESIDENT

TRUMP HAS THE LEGAL

AUTHORITY TO DO IT WITHOUT

CONGRESS.

I THINK THERE IS ONE

ENORMOUS THING THAT

PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN DO ON

HIS OWN, AND THAT IS TO

LET ANYBODY IN THE COUNTRY

GET OUT OF THE INDIVIDUAL

MARKET AND GET INTO AN

ASSOCIATION SO THEY CAN

GET BETTER PRICING.

Reporter: McCONNELL

SAYS HE EXPECTS SENATORS

TO VOTE NEXT WEEK TO

CONSIDER THE NEW HEALTH

CARE BILL.

WE CANNOT KEEP THE

COMMITMENT WE MADE TO THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE TO REPEAL

AND REPLACE OBAMACARE,

UNLESS WE GET ON THE BILL.

Reporter: AND THAT

MEANS FIRST LETTING THE

BILL COME UP FOR A VOTE ON

THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE.

President Trump: ANY

SENATOR WHO VOTES AGAINST

STARTING DEBATE IS REALLY

TELLING AMERICA THAT

YOU'RE FINE WITH

OBAMACARE.

BUT BEING FINE WITH

OBAMACARE ISN'T AN OPTION

FOR ANOTHER REASON:

BECAUSE IT'S GONE.

IT HAS FAILED.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE

AROUND.

Reporter: GARY LANE,

CBN NEWS.

Charlene: REPUBLICANS

AND DEMOCRATS IN

WASHINGTON, ALONG WITH

PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY,

ARE OFFERING THEIR SUPPORT

FOR ARIZONA REPUBLICAN

SENATOR JOHN McCAIN.

HE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH

ONE OF THE MOST AGGRESSIVE

FORMS OF BRAIN CANCER.

THE SAME KIND THAT KILLED

TED KENNEDY AND THE SON OF

JOE BIDEN DEN.

PRESIDENT TRUMP TWEETED,

MELANIA AND I SEND OUR

PRAYERS TO SENATOR

McCAIN AND HIS WIFE

CINDY AND HIS FAMILY.

GET WELL SOON.

AND PRESIDENT OBAMA

TWEETED "JOHN McCAIN IS

AN AMERICAN HERO, AND ONE

OF THE GREATEST FIGHTERS

I'VE EVER KNOWN.

CANCER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT

ITS UP AGAINST.

GIVE IT HELL, JOHN."

THE FAMILY IS DELIBERATING

THEIR NEXT TREATMENT

OPTIONS, WHICH WILL LIKELY

INCLUDE RADIATION AND

CHEMOTHERAPY.

> THIS WEEKEND,

PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL

PRESIDE OVER THE

COMMISSIONING OF THE

U.S.S. GERALD R. FORD.

ERIC GONZALES WENT ABOARD

THE SHIP AND GOT A

FIRSTHAND LOOK AT IT,

ALONG WITH THE DAUGHTER OF

PRESIDENT FORD, SUSAN FORD

BALES.

Reporter: IT IS A

SHIP OF NO OTHER LIKE ITS

KIND, AND ALSO THE MOST

EXPENSIVE, COSTING

$12.9 BILLION.

THIS WAS A SWEARING IN

OF HIM AS PRESIDENT.

Reporter: BUT FOR

SUSAN BALES, THE DAUGHTER

OF THE 38th PRESIDENT OF

THE UNITED STATES, SHE

SAYS BEING ON THE SHIP IS

LIKE BEING AT HOME BECAUSE

THROUGHOUT IT YOU CAN FIND

TRIBUTES TO HER FATHER,

GERALD R. FORD.

THE FLAG THAT IS BEHIND

YOU ALL IS THE FLAG THAT

SAT ON HIS SIDE OF THE

BED.

AFTER HE DIED, THAT'S

WHERE MY MOTHER KEPT IT.

THERE ARE PIECES OF MY DAD

EVERYWHERE.

AND THERE IS A REASON WHY

WE DID THAT.

THERE ARE PICTURES OF HIM

IN THE GYM, PLAYING GOLF,

SWIMMING, DOING ATHLETIC

THINGS.

AND THE WHOLE POINT OF IT

IS SO THAT THE SAILORS CAN

IDENTIFY WITH HIM.

Reporter: AND ONE OF

THE ITEMS ON BOARD IS A

TRIBUTE ROOM TO GERALD R.

FORD THAT HIGHLIGHTS WHEN

HE WAS AN EAGLE SCOUT AS A

YOUNG BOY, TO PLAYING

FOOTBALL, TO HIS EARLY

DAYS AS A YOUNG SAILOR, TO

HIS PRESIDENCY OF THE

UNITED STATES.

HE IS A HUGE PART OF

THIS SHIP AND HE LIVES IN

THE BULK HEADS AND IN THE

WALLS.

Reporter: AS THE SHIP

GETS READY, CRITICAL

COMPONENTS, LIKE THE

ELECTRICALECTROELECTROMONTHSELECTROMAGNETI C CATAPULTS

ARE BEING TESTED.

Reporter: SATURDAY'S

COMMISSIONING CEREMONY

WILL BE ATTENDED BY

PRESIDENT TRUMP.

THOUSANDS ARE EXPECTED TO

ATTEND.

ERIC GONZALES, CBN NEWS,

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA.

Charlene: A

BREAKTHROUGH DISCOVER ON

THE SHROWD OF CORRINE MAY

BEAR EVIDENCE THAT IT IS

FROM JESUS CHRIST.

THEY SAY THERE ARE SIGNS

OF BLOOD FROM WHOEVER

COULD HAVE BEEN WRAPPED IN

THE SHROWD.

AND THEY SAY TINY

PARTICLES SHOW BLOOD.

YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ON

THIS STORY AT

cbnnews.com, INCLUDING

HOW THE RESEARCHERS USED

NEW TECHNOLOGY TO

INVESTIGATE THE BLOOD ON

THE SHROWD.

THOSE ARE TODAY'S TOP NEWS

STORIES.

GORDON AND TERRY WILL BE

BACK WITH MORE OF TODAY'S

THIS.

Gordon: IT'S A

SPECIAL TREATMENT THAT

USES SOMETHING AS COMMON

AS THE AIR WE BREATHE.

LORIE JOHNSON TELLS US HOW

OXYGEN CAN BE USED TO HELP

HEAL OUR BODIES FROM EVEN

THE WORST OF INJURIES.

Lorie: IT'S HARD TO

BELIEVE MICHAEL BEAN BLACK

SURVIVED THIS HORRIFIC CAR

CRASH.

AN 18-WHEELER CUT ME

OFF.

I SWITCHED LANES AND MADE

ME TURN, SO I TURNED INTO

THE MEDIAN AND HIT THE

MEDIAN AND FLIPPED NINE

TIMES.

AND I WAS EJECTED FROM THE

CAR.

Lorie: AND LANDEDED LANDED ON

HIS HEAD.

EVEN THE DOCTORS GAVE UP

HOPE.

AFTER THREE DAYS, WHEN

THE DOCTOR SAID, WE'RE

GOING TO TAKE HIM OFF LIFE

SUPPORT, WE SAID, IT'S NOT

GOING TO HAPPEN.

WHILE HE WAS IN THE COMA,

WE PUT UP A BEAN'S

RECOVERY GROUP ON

Facebook.

WE ASKED EVERYBODY THAT WE

KNEW FOR PRAYERS, AND THEY

PASSED IT ON TO EVERYBODY

THEY KNEW, AND WE HAD

PRAYERS FROM ALL OVER THE

WORLD.

AND I KNOW THAT'S WHAT

BROUGHT HIM OUT OF THE

COMA, AND THAT WE COULD

BRING HIM HOME.

Lorie: MICHAEL STILL

SUFFERED FROM SEVERE

INJURIES, INCLUDING BRAIN

DAMAGE.

THINGS TURNED AROUND AFTER

HE STARTED GETTING

HYPERBARIC OXYGEN

TREATMENTS.

HI COULDN' HE COULDN'T TALK,

HARDLY.

I MEAN, HE WOULD SAY

THINGS, BUT YOU WOULD BE,

WHAT?

HE STARTED IN THE

HYPERBARIC CHAMBER AND IT

CLEARED HIM UP AMAZINGLY.

AND WE COULDN'T BELIEVE

IT, SO WE KEPT BRINGING

HIM BACK.

Lorie: IT INVOLVES

BREATHING 100% PURE OXYGEN

INSIDE A PRESSURIZED

CHAMBER FOR ABOUT AN HOUR

TO AN HOUR AND A HALF.

WE NORMALLY ONLY BREATHE

ABOUT 20% OXYGEN.

DR. ALFRED JOHNSON SAYS

THIS SUPER-CHARGED OXYGEN

IS A NATURAL HEALER.

WITH THAT PRESSURE

BEING PRESENT, THEN THE

BLOOD VESSEL IS FULLY

SATURATED WITH OXYGEN, SO

THAT THE TISSUES GET 10 TO

15 TIMES MORE OXYGEN,

DEPENDING ON WHAT THE

PRESSURE IS.

THEREFORE YOU GET THE

INCREASE IN THE HEALING

PROCESS AND THE CELL

RECOVERY PROCESS.

WHEN I FIRST STARTED, I

WOULD COME HERE IN A

WHEELCHAIR AND HAVE TO BE

WHEELED IN AND GET OUT AND

GO IN THE CHAMBERS.

AND THEN I MOVED TO A

WALKER.

AND THEN I MOVED TO A

CANE.

BUT IT HELPED MY MUSCLES

BECAUSE MY MUSCLES ARE

REALLY TENSE, AND IT

RELAXED THEM.

Lorie: AFTER THE

FIRST 40 TREATMENTS,

MICHAEL WENT BACK FOR 40

MORE A FEW MONTHS LATER.

COSTS VARY FROM AS LITTLE

AS $100 AN HOUR ON UP.

INSURANCE AND MEDICARE

SOMETIMES OFFER COVERAGE,

DEPENDING ON THE CONDITION

BEING TREATED.

WHEN I FIRST STARTED, I

HAD A BAD CASE OF INSOMNIA

AND COULDN'T SLEEP.

AND EVERY TIME I CAME

HERE, AFTER I GOT DONE

WITH THE CHAMBER, I'D GO

HOME AND FALL ASLEEP.

MY MEMORY HAS GOTTEN A LOT

BETTER.

BECAUSE I COULDN'T REALLY

REMEMBER.

LIKE, I WOULD DO SOMETHING

IN THE MORNING AND BY THE

AFTERNOON, I WOULD FORGET

WHAT I'D DONE.

NOW I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD

MEMORY.

Lorie: THERE IS NO

QUESTION THAT PEOPLE SEE

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF

OXYGEN.

JUST A FEW YEARS AGO,

OXYGEN BARS WERE POPPING

UP ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

BUT THAT'S A FAR CRY FROM

WHAT PROPER TREATMENTS

LIKE HYPERBARIC OXYGEN

THERAPY CAN ACHIEVE.

MIKE, ARE YOU OKAY?

Lorie: AND IT'S EASY.

THEY JUST PUT YOU IN

THIS NICE GLASS TUBE, AND

YOU GET TO WATCH TV.

AND YOUR EARS KIND OF POP

BECAUSE THEY PUT YOU UNDER

PRESSURE.

IT IS LIKE BREATHING

REGULAR AIR.

Lorie: CONSUMERS CAN

BUY PORTABLE OXYGEN

CHAMBERS, BUT THEY

TYPICALLY DELIVER FAR LESS

OXYGEN AND PRESSURE THAN

THESE INDUSTRIAL GRADE

ONCE.

IT IS USED TO TREAT

CONDITIONS LIKE MIGRAINES,

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING,

AND STROKE.

YOU SEE PEOPLE WHO ARE

HAVING TROUBLE WITH

WALKING, AND THEY HAVE

MUCH BETTER COORDINATION.

THEY HAVE MORE STRENGTH.

AND MANY PEOPLE ARE ABLE

TO GET BACK TO NORMAL

FUNCTIONING OR CLOSE TO

NORMAL FUNCTIONING

POST-STROKE.

Lorie: AND IT IS USED

BY PEOPLE WITH BURNS,

HEARING LOSS, AND AUTISM.

WE SEE THE MOST

RESPONSE WITH PEOPLE WITH

SPEECH PROBLEMS.

THEY'RE ABLE TO HELP WITH

SPEECH PROBLEMS AND

RECOVERY.

Lorie: HYPERBARIC

OXYGEN THERAPY MAY NOT BE

FOR EVERY, BUT TODAY

MICHAEL BLACK IS IN FAR

BETTER SHAPE THAN HE OR

HIS FAMILY EVER DREAMED

POSSIBLE SINCE HIS NEAR

FATAL CAR CRASH.

THEY BELIEVE THIS THERAPY

HAS A LOT TO DO WITH HIS

RECOVERY, SO THEY PLAN TO

STICK WITH IT AND

HOPEFULLY SEE EVEN MORE

IMPROVEMENT.

LORIE JOHNSON, CBN NEWS.

Gordon: IF YOU WANT

TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT

THIS AMAZING THERAPY, ALL

YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO TO

cbnnews.com.

LORRIE'S STORY WILL BE

THERE.

MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WITH

YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE

UNDERGOING ANYTHING NEW

LIKE THIS.

BUT IT IS WORTH TAKING A

LOOK.

Terry: COMING UP, A

METH COOK WHO WENT FROM

DEALING DRUGS TO DOING

TIME.

THEY TURNED THEIR BACK

ON ME, AND NOW I'M IN JAIL

GETTING WHOOPED, AND I'M

25 YEARS OLD, MAN.

Terry: WATCH WHAT

SCARED HIM STRAIGHT.

THAT'S NEXT.

Gordon: WELL, HOUSTON

JARED WAS A METH COOK, AND

JUST LIKE "BREAKING BAD,"

HE WAS GOOD AT IT.

HE WENT FROM MAKING A FEW

HUNDREDS A WEEK TO A FEW

THOUSAND.

AND WHILE HE GOT RICH

MAKING AND DEALING DRUGS,

HE ALSO HAD TO PAY A VERY

HEAVY PRICE.

I WAS SO JUNKED UP WITH

CHEMICALS, I DIDN'T KNOW

WHAT FEELINGS WAS.

DOPE TOLD ME WHEN TO GO TO

SLEEP.

ALCOHOL TOLD ME WHEN TO GO

TO BED.

DRUGS TOLD ME WHEN TO

CHEAT, WHEN TO LIE, AND I

OBEYED IT FAITHFULLY.

Reporter: HOUSTON

JARED GREW UP IN A

CHRISTIAN HOME BUT

REJECTED HIS PARENTS'

FAITH FOR THE SENSE OF

IDENTITY HE FOUND WITH

DRUGS, ALCOHOL, AND

GAMBLING.

HE MADE FAST CASH

MANUFACTURING AND SELLING

METH.

BEFORE LONG HE WAS USING

HIS OWN PRODUCT.

I LIKED THE WAY I FEEL.

I CAN GAMBLE FOR THREE

DAYS IF I WANT TO.

I CAN SIT AT A BLACKJACK

TABLE FOR TWO DAYS.

JUST SNORT A LITTLE LINE

OF THIS, AND THAT JUST

BECOMES MORE AND MORE.

IT JUST CONSUMED ME AND

EVERYTHING AROUND ME.

IT AFFECTED ME AND

EVERYONE AROUND ME.

IT BECAME CONTAGIOUS.

AND I HAPPENED TO HAVE THE

CONNECTIONS, SO I WAS THE

MAN.

Reporter: HIS METH

EMPIRE GREW THROUGH

CONNECTIONS WITH A BIKER

GANG.

BUT BAD COMPANY AND DRUG

USE LED TO FEAR AND

PARANOIA.

I WAS TOTING PISTLES

AROUND.

I WAS SO MUCH AFRAID OF

THE POLICE, BUT SOMEBODY

WHO WOULD PUT THAT GUN TO

MY HEAD AND ROB ME.

BECAUSE THIS WAS MINE.

IF IT MEANT ME KILLING YOU

FOR IT, THEN SO BE IT.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE

MY STUFF.

Reporter: TO HOUSTON,

TIME IN JAIL OR

COURT-ORDERED REHAB WAS

JUST THE COST OF DOING

BUSINESS.

BUT AS THE STATE'S WAR ON

DRUGS RAMPED UP, SO DID

HOUSTON'S PRISON TIME.

WE WERE MANUFACTURING

METH THAT NIGHT.

AND IT WAS ABOUT DAYLIGHT

AND BEFORE WE WRAPPED IT

UP, THE SHERIFF'S

DEPARTMENT KICKED IN THE

FRONT DOOR.

AND IT WASN'T NO

SMALL-TIME JAIL NO MORE.

THEY WERE MAKING EXAMPLES

OF PEOPLE.

I NEVER HAD A FELONY

CONVICTION IN MY LIFE.

I DONE THREE AND A HALF

YEARS IN PRISON.

I WAS A MACHO GUY, BUT

INSIDE I WAS A SCARED

LITTLE PUNK.

I'M MAD BECAUSE I'M IN

JAIL.

I'M ANGRY BECAUSE I GOT

BUSTED.

I'M JUST TORMENTED ON THE

INSIDE BECAUSE MY LAWYERS

CAN'T GET ME OUT OF THIS.

AND ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT,

ALL OF THE PATCHES, ALL OF

THE MOTORCYCLE GUYS, THEY

TURNED THEIR BACK ON ME

IMMEDIATELY.

AND NOW I'M IN JAIL

GETTING WHOOPED BECAUSE

I'M WHITE AND I'M 25 YEARS

OLD.

AND INSIDE ME, THERE WAS

ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT DREW

ME TO KNOW THIS ISN'T WHAT

YOU'VE SUPPOSED TO BE

DOING.

Reporter: WHEN HE GOT

OUT OF PRISON, HE LIVED

WITH HIS BROTHER, WHO ALSO

COOKED METH.

HE FELT HOPELESS TO ESCAPE

THE LIFESTYLE, AND MOVED

AWAY, HOPING FOR A NEW

START.

HIS BROTHER CONTINUED THE

BUSINESS UNTIL ONE DAY HE

VANISHED.

THEY FOUND REMNANTS OF

HIM.

THE MOTORCYCLE GANG KNOW

HOW TO DISPOSE OF THINGS.

AND IT WEIGHS ON MY MIND

BECAUSE I INTRODUCED HIM

TO IT.

THERE IS NO DOUBT I

INTRODUCED HIM TO THE

PERSON WHO KILLED HIM.

AND NOW I'VE LIVED THROUGH

PRISON.

SO THE FEAR OF PRISON

WASN'T ENOUGH TO GET ME TO

STOP BECAUSE I'D ALREADY

BEEN TO PRISON.

THE FEAR OF O.D.ing

DIDN'T GET ME TO STOP.

Reporter: AFTER A

HIGH-SPEED CHASE IN A

STOLEN CAR, HE WAS

SENTENCED TO SEVEN YEARS

IN PRISON.

HE TRIED EVERY AVENUE TO

GET THE SENTENCE

SUSPENDED, EVEN APPEALING

TO TEEN CHALLENGE, BUT HE

WAS DENIED ACCEPTANCE.

HOUSTON WAS BROKEN AND

READY FOR A CHANGE.

AND FINALLY GOD GOT ME

IN THAT SMALL, STILL

LITTLE PLACE, WHERE I

COULD HEAR HIS VOICE.

AND HE SAID, COME TO ME.

HE INVITED ME TO COME TO

HIM.

AND I'LL NEVER FORGET IT.

I CRIED OUT TO GOD.

AND I SAID, GOD, HELP ME.

I WAS USED UP AND WASHED

UP AND STEPPED ON.

GOD PUT HIS ARMS AROUND

ME.

MAN, I FELT THE LOVE OF

GOD.

I WAS FORGIVEN.

I WAS STAINLESS.

I WAS FORGIVEN.

AND I FELT ANY KIND OF

URGES OR BONDAGE OF DRUG

ADDICTION OR ALCOHOLISM,

OR ANY LIFE CONTROL

ISSUE -- I HAD SO MANY OF

THEM -- I WAS SET FREE

FROM THEM.

IT WAS LIKE A CURTAIN

LIFTED OFF OF ME, A

2,000-POUND ELEPHANT OFF

MY BACK.

AND I PRAISED GOD RIGHT

THERE IN THAT CELL.

Reporter: HE BEGAN

FASTING AND SPENT HOURS IN

PRAYER AND BIBLE READING.

HE SAYS THE LOVE OF GOD

FINALLY FILLED THE EMPTY

HOLE IN HIS LIFE.

I LOOKED FOR DRUGS AND

THE ALCOHOL AND THE

GAMBLING, AND IT WAS ALL

TEMPORARY.

I LOOKED FOR IT IN WOMEN,

AND IT WAS ALL TEMPORARY.

I LOOKED FOR IT IN A

MOTORCYCLE GROUP OR THIS

WHITE RACIAL GANG, AND IT

WAS ALL TEMPORARY.

I COULD ONLY FIND PEACE

FOR A WHILE AND THEN IT

WAS GONE.

JIM BEAM LET ME DOWN.

COCAINE LET ME DOWN.

JESUS CHRIST HAS NEVER LET

ME DOWN, NEVER.

Reporter: HE WAS

ACCEPTED INTO A ONE-YEAR

TEEN CHALLENGE PROGRAM,

AND A NEW JUDGE SUSPENDED

HIS SENTENCE.

HE SAYS THE TIME WITH TEEN

CHALLENGE GAVE HIM A NEW

VISION FOR HIS LIFE.

IT SAVED MY LIFE.

JESUS GOT ME IN A PLACE

WHERE I COULD BROKEN, AND

HE DELIVERED ME.

THE FREEDOM THAT THE BIBLE

TALKS ABOUT THROUGH JESUS

CHRIST, I FELT IT.

IT WASN'T JUST SOME WORDS

ON A PAPER OR SOME

PREACHER PREACHING TO ME.

Reporter: HOUSTON NOW

SERVES AS A YOUTH PASTOR

IN HIS CHURCH, AND IS

MARRIED TO LANA, THE LOVE

OF HIS LIFE.

AND HE ALSO WORKS WITH

TEEN CHALLENGE, SHARING

WITH OTHERS THE TRUE

IDENTITY HE FOUND IN JESUS

CHRIST.

I'M NOT A DRUG ADDICT.

I'M NOT AN ALCOHOLIC.

I'M NOT A CONVICTED FELON.

I'M NOT A CONVICT.

I'M THE SON OF THE ONE

TRUE GOD.

INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT

CHRISTIANITY AS THE THINGS

I CAN'T DO AS A CHRISTIAN,

I LOOK AT THE FREEDOM THAT

I HAVE IN IT AS BEING A

CHRISTIAN, AND I WALK IN

THAT FREEDOM, AND I WALK

IN THAT MERCY AND THAT

GRACE.

I WANT TO TELL EVERYONE IN

THE WORLD ABOUT IT.

Gordon: AND YOU CAN

WALK IN THAT FREEDOM, THAT

GRACE, THAT REMARKABLE

PRIVILEGE THAT COMES FROM

KNOWING THAT YOU'RE A

CHILD OF GOD.

AND THAT HE LOVES YOU

INFINITELY.

HOUSTON JARED'S STORY IS

NOT UNIQUE.

YES, FROM SOME STANDPOINTS

YOU COULD LOOK AT IT AND

SAY, I'D NEVER DO THAT.

BUT SO OFTEN WE KNOW THE

RIGHT WAY TO GO.

AND WE CHOOSE OUR OWN WAY.

AND WHETHER, LIKE HOUSTON,

YOU GET INTO DEEP

ADDICTION OR NOT, IF

YOU'RE APART FROM GOD,

YOU'RE STILL SUFFERING.

YOU'RE STILL IN A PLACE

WHERE WHAT'S MY PURPOSE?

WHAT DO I DO?

WHERE DO I GO?

WHAT MEANING IS THERE TO

LIFE?

AND REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU

PURSUE, WHETHER IT'S

ALCOHOL OR DRUGS OR

TEMPORARY RELATIONSHIPS OR

SUCCESS OR MONEY, AT THE

END OF THAT, YOU KNOW IT

NEVER SATISFIES.

THERE IS ONLY ONE THING

THAT SATISFIES, AND IT'S

WHAT WE'RE MADE FOR.

GOD MADE US IN HIS IMAGE

SO THAT WE COULD HAVE

FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM.

THAT'S THE PURPOSE.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL

ABOUT.

AND IT'S ONLY IN THAT

FELLOWSHIP THAT YOU FIND

THE PEACE AND THE JOY AND

THE SATISFACTION YOU'RE

LOOKING FOR.

WE ALL HAVE THIS ETERNITY

IN OUR HEARTS.

AND THAT ETERNITY CAN ONLY

BE FILLED BY THE ETERNAL

ONE.

AND UNTIL WE FIND THAT,

AND UNTIL WE FIND HIM AND

THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH A

PERSONAL GOD, WELL, YOU'RE

NEVER GOING TO BE

SATISFIED.

AND THE MORE YOU PURSUE

THE THINGS TOGETHER WON'T

DO THAT, THE MORE YOU

ACTUALLY IMPRISON

YOURSELF, AND YOU GET

TRAPPED IN IT.

AND YOU WONDER, CAN THERE

EVER BE A WAY OUT?

REALIZE TODAY THAT IN

GOD'S EYES YOU ARE

INFINITELY VALUABLE.

I DON'T CARE WHAT THE

WORLD SAYS ABOUT YOU, I

DON'T CARE ABOUT THE JAIL

SENTENCES OR ALL THE

WRECKS THAT HAVE HAPPENED

IN YOUR LIFE.

GOD THINKS YOU'RE

INFINITELY VALUABLE.

HE THINKS THAT YOU'RE

WORTH THE PRICE HE PAID

FOR YOU.

AND THAT PRICE WAS THIS

ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS

CHRIST.

AND HE PAID THAT WILLINGLY

BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU.

BECAUSE FOR THE JOY SET

BEFORE HIM -- AND THAT JOY

IS YOU COMING HOME TO HIM,

YOU FINDING HIM AND HAVING

THAT RELATIONSHIP THAT

FILLS YOU TO OVERFLOWING.

IF YOU WANT THAT -- YOU

SAW HOUSTON'S STORY.

UR SAW THYOU SAW THE LIGHT IN HIS

EYES WHEN HE STARTED

TALKING ABOUT JESUS AND

THE JOY HE HAD, YOU COULD

SEE THE LIGHT IN HIS EYES.

AND YOU CAN HAVE THAT SAME

LIGHT.

YOU CAN KNOW FOR CERTAIN

THAT YOU'RE FORGIVEN, THAT

YOU'RE REDEEMED, THAT

YOU'RE RESTORED.

AND YOU CAN HAVE A BRAND

NEW LIFE TODAY.

NOW, HOW DO YOU GET IT?

IT'S REAL SIMPLE: YOU ASK

FOR IT.

YOU ASK FOR JESUS TO COME

INTO YOUR HEART.

YOU ASK FOR HIM TO SAVE

YOU.

AND THEN YOU BELIEVE IT.

AND AT THAT MOMENT, YOU

HAVE IT.

IF YOU WANT IT -- IF

YOU'RE NOT RIGHT WITH GOD

AND YOU WANT TO GET RIGHT

WITH HIM RIGHT NOW, DON'T

CHANGE THIS CHANNEL.

BUT RIGHT NOW BOW YOUR

HEAD.

AND LET'S PRAY AND LET GOD

DO WHAT HE'S DONE FOR

OTHERS.

HE WILL FULFILL HIS

PROMISE FOR YOU.

LET'S PRAY.

JESUS -- THAT'S RIGHT, SAY

HIS NAME.

CLOSE YOUR EYES, BOW YOUR

HEAD.

JESUS, I OPEN MY HEART TO

YOU.

AND I ASK THAT YOU COME

IN.

I ASK THAT YOU FORGIVE ME,

THAT YOU MAKE ME NEW, AND

THAT YOU CLEANSE ME.

AND, JESUS, I WANT TO

FOLLOW YOU.

I WANT THIS RELATIONSHIP

WITH YOU ALL THE DAYS OF

MY LIFE.

I WANT THAT.

SO, JESUS, HEAR MY PRAYER.

COME INTO MY HEART.

MAKE ME NEW.

FORGIVE ME OF ALL THE

THINGS I'VE DONE WRONG.

AND SET ME ON THE PATH

WITH YOU.

HEAR MY PRAYER, FOR I PRAY

IT IN YOUR NAME.

FATHER, FOR THOSE WHO JUST

PRAYED, I ASK FOR A

BAPTISM IN YOUR PRESENCE,

IN YOUR FORGIVENESS, IN

YOUR MERCY, IN YOUR GRACE,

AND IN YOUR LOVE.

FILL THEM TO OVERFLOWING

WITH YOUR SPIRIT.

SURROUND THEM WITH YOUR

PRESENCE.

LET THEM KNOW THAT THEIR

PRAYER HAS BEEN HEARD AND

ANSWERED TODAY.

FOR I ASK IT IN JESUS'

NAME.

AMEN.

IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME,

I'VE GOT SOMETHING FOR

YOU.

AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY FREE.

IT'S CALLED "A NEW DAY."

AND IN IT IS A C.D.

TEACHING OF HOW DO YOU

LIVE THE CHRISTIAN LIFE?

WHAT DO YOU DO NEXT?

WHAT DO CHRISTIANS

BELIEVE?

I ALSO ENCOURAGE YOU TO

GET A COPY OF THE BIBLE.

WE'VE GOT ONE FREE FOR YOU

ONLINE AT cbn.com.BUT

GE.BUT GET A BIBLE AND START

READING IT EVERY DAY.

LET THAT RENEW YOUR MIND.

START WITH THE GOSPEL OF

JOHN.

THAT'S THE GOSPEL OF LOVE.

IF YOU KNOW THAT GOSPEL,

NEED TO KNOW ABOUT

CHRISTIANITY.

TERRY, OVER TO YOU.

Terry: WELL, UP NEXT,

A MILITARY FAMILY BRACES

FOR ANOTHER LONG

DEPLOYMENT.

I JUST GOT MY HUSBAND

BACK FROM A SIX-MONTH

DEPLOYMENT, AND TWO MONTHS

LATER, THEY TOLD ME THAT

THEY'RE TAKING HIM FOR A

YEAR.

I COULDN'T SURVIVE...

Terry: HEAR HOW THEY

ALL GOT A LITTLE HELP FROM

"HELPING THE HOMEFRONT,"

AFTER THIS.

Charlene: WELCOME

BACK TO "THE 700 CLUB."

THE SUPREME COURT HAS

PARTLY UPHELD A LOWER

COURT RULING THAT EXPANDS

THE NUMBER OF RELATIVES

WHO CAN ENTER THE U.S.

FROM SIX MUSLIM-MAJORITY

COUNTRIES WITH TIES TO

TERRORISM UNDER PRESIDENT

TRUMP'S TRAVEL BAN.

BUT THE COURT ALSO BLOCKED

OTHER PARTS OF THAT

RULING.

THE HIGH COURT WILL HEAR

THE FULL CASE OF THE

TRAVEL BAN IN THE FALL.

RIGHT BACK.

Terry: AS A SAILOR IN

THE NAVY, MATT HAS TO

LEAVE HIS WIFE AND

CHILDREN FOR LONG PERIODS

OF TIME.

SO WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING

WE CAN TO GIVE THEM MORE

TIME TOGETHER AND TO MAKE

THEIR TIME APART A LITTLE

EASIER.

Reporter: MATT AND

HIS WIFE, BRIE, DON'T TAKE

FAMILY TIME FOR GRANTED.

THEY CHERISH EVERY MINUTE

TOGETHER WITH THEIR

CHILDREN, CONNOR AND

HARPER, BUT MATT'S NAVY

DEPLOYMENT MISSION IS AT

AN ALL-TIME HIGH.

HE KNOWS HE COULDN'T DO

HIS JOB WITH HER SUPPORT.

WITHOUT HER, IT IS

IMPOSSIBLE.

SHE IS THE FOUNDATION OF

IT ALL.

THAT'S VERY SWEET.

Reporter: THE COUPLE

FACES ITS BIGGEST

CHALLENGE YET: THEY

LEARNED MATT WILL LEAVE

AGAIN FOR A YEAR.

BRIE IS STANDING ON HER

FAITH IN GOD TO HELP HER

COPE.

I JUST GOT MY HUSBAND

BACK FROM A SIX-MONTH

DEPLOYMENT, AND TWO MONTHS

LATER, THEY TOLD ME THEY

WERE TAKING HIM FOR A

YEAR.

I COULDN'T SURVIVE IF I

DIDN'T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP

WITH GOD.

JUST FOG THAT H KNOWING THAT HE IS IN

CONTROL AND HE HAS A PLAN

AND HE IS GOING TO BE

THERE TO GET ME THROUGH

IT.

Reporter: THE COUPLE

DECIDED IT WAS BEST FOR

BRIE AND THE KIDS TO MOVE

BACK HOME TO TEXAS TO BE

MERE FAMILY.

NEAR FAMILY.

BUT THE NAVY DOESN'T PAY

FOR A VOLUNTARY MOVE.

SO THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO

INTO DEBT TO DO IT.

BUT TO THEM IT WAS

IMPORTANT.

IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT

SHE WAS WITH FAMILY AND

CLOSE TO PEOPLE SHE COULD

RELY ON AND THAT WOULD

ULTIMATELY BE THERE FOR

HER AND FOR OUR KIDS.

Reporter: MATT WOULD

BE ELIGIBLE TO COME HOME

ONCE ON LEAVE, BUT THEY

WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR HIS

TRAVEL EXPENSES, MONEY

THEY DON'T HAVE.

MATT AND BRIE'S CHURCH

STAFF HEARD ABOUT THEIR

SITUATION AND ASKED CBN'S

> UP NEXT, AN INCURABLE

DISEASE VANISHES AFTER

CAUSING NEARLY FIVE YEARS

OF AGONY.

AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH

ALL I SAID.

LORD, I'M READY TO RECEIVE

EVERYTHING YOU HAVE FOR

ME.

Terry: HEAR THE REST

OF HER AMAZING STORY WHEN

WE COME BACK.

Gordon: IF YOU'RE

WONDERING IF PRAYER WERE

CHANGE THINGS, MEET MARIE

SPENCER.

MARIE SUFFERED WITH

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, SHE

EVEN GOT OFFENDED AT THE

NOTION OF A GOD WHO HEALS.

AND HERE IS WHAT CHANGED

HER MIND.

I WOULD HAVE SEIZURES

IN GROCERY STORES, IN

RESTAURANTS, ALL OVER THE

PLACE.

THEY FINALLY PUT ME ON

SOMETHING THAT WOULD SLOW

THEM DOWN A LITTLE, BUT I

STILL HAD THEM THREE TO

FIVE TIMES A DAY.

Reporter: AFTER

SUFFERING A SEIZURE AT

WORK, MARIE SPENCER WAS

DIAGNOSED WITH SECONDARY

PROGRESSIVE MULTIPLE

SCLEROSIS, A DISEASE

DOCTORS TOLD HER MIGHT

EVENTUALLY TAKE HER LIFE.

FRIENDS AND FAMILY

WITNESSED THE TOLL IT TOOK

ON MARIE.

SHE WAS IN BED 24 HOURS

A DAY.

IF SHE WANTED TO GET

AROUND, SHE HAD A SCOOTER.

AND SHE HAD A CARETAKER.

MARIE WAS PRETTY MUCH

BEDRIDDEN.

SHE HAD CARETAKERS AROUND

THE CLOCK.

I WAS JUST EXISTING,

GOING THROUGH LIFE EVERY

DAY, EXISTING WITHOUT A

PURPOSE OR A DESTINY.

AND THE NEXT STEP WAS TO

PUT ME IN A NURSING HOME.

Reporter: HER FRIEND,

JULIE, WHO WAS A

CHRISTIAN, GAVE MARIE THE

BIBLE ON TAPE AND

ENCOURAGED HER TO LISTEN.

IT JUST WAS UPLIFTING

TO ME.

I WOULD JUST LISTEN TO IT

OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE AND

JOHN.

IT KIND OF GAVE ME HOPE.

IT GAVE ME SOMETHING I

NEVER HAD BEFORE.

Reporter: MARIE

STARTED GOING TO A BIBLE

STUDY WITH HER FRIEND.

IT WAS VERY COMMON FOR

MARIE TO HAVE A SEIZURE,

YOU KNOW, DURING THE BIBLE

STUDY.

SHE SOMETIMES WOULD PASS

OUT.

HER BODY WOULD SHAKE AND

QUIVER.

AND SHE WOULD BE EXHAUSTED

AFTERWARDS.

AND THEY WOULD JUST

LOVE ME.

THEY WOULD JUST MEET ME

WHERE I WAS AT.

THEY WOULD LOVE ME.

AND THEY WOULD JUST TELL

ME ABOUT THE LORD.

Reporter: HER FRIENDS

PRAYED FOR MARIE TO BE

HEALED, DESPITE HER

WORSENING CONDITION AND

DOCTORS' GRIM PROGNOSIS.

AND THEY SAID, YOU KNOW

GOD CAN HEAL YOU.

AND I GOT OFFENDED.

HOW DARE YOU PUT HOPE

WHERE THEY ABSOLUTELY SAY

THE PROGNOSIS IS THIS IS

WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

HOW DARE YOU PUT SO MUCH

HOPE IN MY LIFE.

WE PRAYED FOR MARIE

BECAUSE WE WANTED HER

COMPLETE AND WHOLE.

AND WE BELIEVED GOD HAD

MORE FOR HER.

Reporter: BUT THE

MORE SHE LISTENED TO THE

GOSPELS AND ATTENDED BIBLE

STUDY, THE MORE SHE BECAME

OPEN TO SUPERNATURAL

HEALING.

SHE EVENTUALLY AGREED TO

GO TO A "WOMEN'S AGLOW"

HEALING SERVICE.

I PRAYED A SIMPLE

PRAYER.

THE ONLY PRAYER I KNEW TO

PRAY WAS, LORD, I'M READY

TO RECEIVE EVERYTHING YOU

HAVE FOR ME.

THAT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL I

SAID.

Reporter: BUT AS THE

SERVICE BEGAN, MARIE HAD

THE WORST SEIZURE OF HER

LIFE.

I ENDED UP ON THE

FLOOR, AND MY FRIEND SAID,

GOD'S GOT THIS.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

HE'S GOT THIS.

THE LADIES CAME OVER AND

PRAYED FOR ME AND JESUS

TOOK THE SEIZURE AWAY.

Reporter: MARIE ASKED

TO RECEIVE JESUS INTO HER

LIFE, AND PRAYED TO BE

COMPLETELY HEALED.

IMMEDIATELY SHE SAYS SHE

FELT SOMETHING LEAVE HER

BODY.

AND SHE LOOKED ME

STRAIGHT IN THE EYE, AND

SHE SAID, YOU FOUL SPIRIT

OF M.S., YOU COME OUT OF

HER RIGHT NOW IN THE NAME

OF JESUS CHRIST.

IT CAME RIGHT OUT OF THE

SIDE OF MY HEAD, RIGHT

HERE.

I GOT UP AND WALKED VERY

QUICKLY THROUGH ALL OF

THESE LADIES.

AND THEN I WENT INTO THE

HALLWAY, AND I RAN AS FAST

AS I COULD, BACK AND

FORTH, BACK AND FORTH,

BACK AND FORTH.

AND AS I WAS RUNNING, THE

HOLY SPIRIT WAS TELLING

ME, YOU'RE HEALED.

YOU'RE HEALED.

AND I WAS CRYING.

ONE MINUTE I'M NOT WALKING

OR TALKING, AND THE NEXT

MINUTE, I'M LIKE I AM NOW,

NO SEIZURES, NO NOTHING.

I REMEMBER WHEN MY MOM

CAME HOME AND SAID SHE WAS

HEALED.

ME AND MY BROTHERS AND MY

DAD KIND OF LOOKED AT HER,

AND WE WERE LIKE WHAT?

AND SHE GOT UP AND STARTED

WALKING AROUND, WE TOLD

HER NOT TO DO THAT, THAT

SHE MIGHT FALL.

SHE WAS EXTREMELY HAPPY.

I KNEW MARIE BEFORE HER

HEALING, AND TO SEE HER

NOW IS UNBELIEVABLE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, GOD CAN DO

THAT.

Reporter: MARIE SAYS

HER ENTIRE LIFE HAS

CHANGED SINCE HER HEALING.

SHE IS NOW ACTIVELY

INVOLVED IN HEALING

MINISTRY AND TAKES

MISSIONS TRIPS.

IT IS AWESOME TO SEE

WHO SHE IS NOW.

SHE ISN'T JUST SATISFIED

IN BEING HEALED.

SHE IS OUT MINISTERING TO

PEOPLE AND GOD IS USING

HER.

I HAVEN'T HAD A SEIZURE

IN EIGHT YEARS.

NO MATTER DISEASE OR

DISORDER, JESUS IS REAL.

HE IS OUR HEALER.

HE SAYS IT IN HIS WORD.

I BELIEVED HIM AND I

RECEIVED IT.

BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE

HEALED.

AND HE SAYS, "WE ARE," NOT

YOU MIGHT BE.

"WE ARE," AND SO I HAPPEN

TO BELIEVE THAT.

Gordon: I HAPPEN TO

BELIEVE THAT, TOO.

BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED TO

ME.

WHEN DOCTORS GAVE UP ON ME

WITH CEREBRAL MALARIA, GOD

CAME TO MEMENT AND HE ME.

AND HE WANTS TO COME TO

YOU.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BEG AND

PLEAD WITH HIM.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO CONVINCE

HIM.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO ARGUE

WITH HIM.

YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE.

IT'S VERY SIMPLE.

CHILD-LIKE FAITH.

WE GET SO COMPLICATED

THESE DAYS.

WE KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT

MEDICINE.

WE WANT TO FIND, WELL,

WHAT'S THE BACTERIA,

WHAT'S THE VIRUS, OR WHY

IS THIS HAPPENING?

KEEP IT SIMPLE.

THE ENEMY HAS COME AND IS

TRYING TO AFFLICT YOU.

BUT THE WONDERFUL NEWS IS

THAT JESUS HAS OVERCOME

HIM.

AND ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS

BELIEVE.

AND IN THAT BELIEF, WE CAN

HAVE GOD'S WILL DONE ON

EARTH, GOD'S WILL DONE IN

YOUR BODY, AS IT IS IN

HEAVEN.

IF YOU EVER WONDER IF IT'S

GOD'S WILL TO HEAL YOU,

START THINKING ABOUT

HEAVEN.

IS THERE ANYBODY SICK?

IS THERE ANYBODY GRIEVING?

ANY TEARS?

ANY PROBLEMS?

WELL, THAT'S GOD'S WILL.

AND JESUS GAVE US THE

WONDERFUL PRAY.

AND HE SAYS, YOU CAN PRAY

THIS: PRAY THAT GOD'S WILL

WOULD BE DONE ON EARTH AS

IT IS IN HEAVEN.

LET HIM PUT THINGS IN

ORDER FOR YOU.

LET HIS DOMINION, HIS

KINGDOM, COME TO YOU.

AND BELIEVE IT.

AND LET THAT SICKNESS

LEAVE YOU NOW.

WE'RE GOING TO PRAY, AND

BEFORE WE PRAY, WE'RE

GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME

OTHER WONDERFUL MIRACLES.

AND HERE IS SOMEBODY FROM

WEST PALM BEACH WHO HAD

TERRIBLE PAIN IN HER MOUTH

AND HER JAW AND HER GUMS.

AND ONE DAY SHE WAS

WATCHING "THE 700 CLUB,"

AND TERRY SAID, "YOU HAVE

A PROBLEM WITH YOUR JAW.

THERE IS A CONSTANT ACHE."

WELL, SHE CLAIMED THE WORD

AND SHE FELT A VIBRATION

IN HER MOUTH.

SHE KNEW SHE HAD BEEN

HEALED.

THE NEXT MORNING SHE WOKE

UP WITHOUT PAIN, AND SHE

HASN'T HAD ANY TROUBLE

SINCE, AND THAT'S

WONDERFUL.

Terry: HE IS ANOTHER

WONDERFUL ONE.

DARYL SUFFERED WHIPLASH

FROM A CAR ACCIDENT AND

HAD RECURRING PAIN FOR

YEARS.

ONE DAY HE WAS WATCHING

THIS PROGRAM, AND GORDON,

YOU GAVE THIS WORD: "THERE

IS SOMEONE WITH A

MISALIGNED SPINE, AND GOD

IS HEALING YOU."

SO DARYL CLAIMED THE WORD,

AND THE PAIN LEFT AND IT

HAS NOT RETURNED.

Gordon: WOULDN'T IT

BE GREAT IF ALL OF YOUR

PAIN LEFT?

JESUS CAME.

THE BIBLE SAYS HE BORE OUR

AFFIRMMITIEAFFIRMITIES, AND TOOK

THEMAWAY.

DON'T THINK IT IS SOME

SPECIAL PRAYER OR YOU'VE

GOT TO READ THE BIBLE --

NO.

JUST BELIEVE AND LET GOD

DO IT.

AND LET'S PRAY.

LORD, WE COME TOGETHER,

AND WE COME TOGETHER IN

UNITY.

AND WE COME TOGETHER

BELIEVING IN YOUR WORD, IN

YOUR GREAT POWER.

WE LOOK AROUND US AND

REALIZE THAT ALL OF THIS

WAS CREATED BECAUSE YOU

SPOKE A WORD.

SO NOW WE COME INTO

AGREEMENT.

AND WE LAY HANDS ON THAT

AREA OF THE BODY THAT

NEEDS HEALING AND WE SPEAK

TO IT, THAT GOD'S WILL

WOULD BE DONE IN THIS BODY

AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.

AND WE TAKE THE AUTHORITY

AND DOMINION GIVEN TO US

BY JESUS CHRIST.

WE TAKE IT AND WE

APPROPRIATE IT AND WE PUT

IT TO USE NOW.

AND WE SAY, BE HEALED AND

BE MADE WHOLE.

EVERY CELL IN YOUR BODY

NOW COME INTO AGREEMENT

WITH THE WORD OF GOD.

PAIN LEAVE NOW IN JESUS'

NAME.

CANCER LEAVE NOW IN JESUS'

NAME.

LIMBS, JOINTS COME INTO

AGREEMENT.

MOVE PROPERLY AND WORK

PROPERLY NOW IN THE NAME

OF JESUS.

THERE IS SOMEONE, YOU'VE

HAD SEVERE NERVE PAIN IN

YOUR RIGHT CHEEK AND IT

GOES UP INTO YOUR EYE AND

EVEN INTO THE EYELID AND

THERE IS SWELLING.

AND YOU'VE GOT SEVERE

PAIN.

IT JUST LEFT.

AS I WAS DESCRIBING IT, IT

JUST LEFT YOU IN JESUS'

NAME.

REJOICE IN WHAT GOD HAS

GIVEN YOU.

AND YOU CAN SMILE AGAIN.

JUST BEGIN TO PRAISE HIM

FOR IT.

REJOICE IN THE HEALING YOU

JUST RECEIVED.

TERRY?

Terry: THERE IS

SOMEONE ELSE, YOU HAVE A

PROBLEM WITH YOUR JAW.

IT IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT.

AND GOD IS HEALING THAT.

SOMEONE ELSE WITH A SPEECH

IMPEDIMENT, JUST BEGIN TO

SPEAK NOW AS YOU PRAISE

THE LORD.

THAT THING IS GONE.

THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE, YOU

HAVE, LIKE, A SPINAL

PROBLEM.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS,

IF IT IS AN ALIGNMENT

ISSUE OR SOMETHING GROWING

ON YOUR SPINE, BUT

TREMENDOUS PAIN EVERY TIME

YOU WALK.

GOD IS HEALING THAT

CONDITION FOR YOU RIGHT

NOW.

Gordon: THERE IS

SOMEONE, YOU'VE BEEN

DIAGNOSED WITH A MASS ON

THE TOP OF YOUR RIGHT

KIDNEY, AND GOD IS JUST

DISSOLVING THAT AWAY FOR

YOU RIGHT NOW.

GO BACK AND GET TESTED AND

REALIZE YOU'VE GOTTEN A

GREAT MIRACLE.

YOUR KIDNEY FUNCTION IS

GOING TO RETURN TO NORMAL.

IT IS GOING TO BE A BRAND

NEW KIDNEY FOR YOU IN

JESUS' NAME.

BE HEALED NOW.

SOMEONE ELSE, THERE ARE

PROBLEMS IN YOUR RIGHT

HIP, WHERE YOU HAVE SPURS

AND THERE IS GRINDING IN

THE JOINT.

GOD IS GOING TO JUST TAKE

THEM ALL AWAY AND GIVE YOU

BACK THAT HIP JOINT.

NO PAIN, NO DISCOMFORT IN

ANYTHING THAT YOU DO.

JUST RECEIVE IT NOW IN

JESUS' NAME.

LORD, WE THANK YOU, FOR

YOU ARE THE HEALER.

WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR

SACRIFICE.

WE THANK YOU THAT BY YOUR

STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.

WE RECEIVE IT NOW IN

JESUS' NAME.

AMEN.

AND AMEN.

IF YOU'VE BEEN TOWFD BY TOUCHED BY

GOD, WE WANT TO SHARE IN

YOUR GOOD REPORT.

SO CALL US AND LET US

KNOW, SO WE CAN TELL

OTHERS AND ENCOURAGE

OTHERS TO BELIEVE.

1-800-700-7000.

> WELL, UP NEXT, WE'VE

GOT "BRING IT ON" WITH

YOUR E-MAIL QUESTIONS, SO

DON'T GO AWAY.

Terry: WE WANT TO

"BRING IT ON" WITH SOME OF

THE E-MAIL QUESTIONS

YOU'VE SUBMITTED.

THIS FIRST ONE IS FROM

PHYLLIS, WHO SAID, "I JUST

HAD A MISCARRIAGE ON MAY

1st OF THIS YEAR.

IT HAPPENED SO SUDDENLY

AND MY HEART IS BROKEN.

I CAN'T GET PAST THE

SADNESS.

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY GOD

ALLOWS THESE THINGS TO

HAPPEN.

AND I WONDER, WILL I SEE

MY CHILD ONE DAY IN

HEAVEN?"

Gordon: PHYLLIS, MY

HEART GOES OUT TO YOU.

I KNOW YOU'RE GRIEVING AND

IT IS A TERRIBLE GRIEF.

WHEN I COUNSEL PEOPLE WHO

HAVE GONE THROUGH

MISCARRIAGES, YOU JUST

GRIEVE WITH THEM.

AND IT IS A PROCESS.

AND IT IS GOING TO TAKE

TIME TO GO THROUGH THAT.

I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING TO

ANSWER THE QUESTION WHY?

WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?

WAS THERE SOMETHING WRONG

WITH ME?

WAS THERE SOMETHING WRONG

WITH THE BABY?

AND I HEAR IT IN YOUR

QUESTION.

WHY DID GOD ALLOW THIS TO

HAPPEN?

FOR ME, MY MOTHER

MISCARRIED.

I HAVE AN OLDER BROTHER

I'M GOING TO MEET ONE DAY.

HE WAS FAR ENOUGH ALONG

THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAD A

NAME.

THEY KNEW THE SEX AND THEY

HAD A NAME, JAMES GORDON

ROBERTSON.

AND I'VE COUNTED THE

MONTHS, AND IF HE HAD GONE

TO FULL TERM, I WOULDN'T

BE HERE.

SO I OFTEN WONDER WHY?

WHY THAT?

I DON'T THINK ON THIS SIDE

OF ETERNITY WE'RE GOING TO

GET THAT ANSWER.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT GOD'S

GREAT PLAN, HIS INTENT FOR

US TO LIVE IN A GARDEN AND

FOR EVERYTHING TO BE

PERFECT, AND EVERYTHING TO

BE PROVIDED.

THAT WAS HIS PLAN.

AND WE MESSED THAT PLAN

UP.

AND IN THE PROCESS, THE

BIBLE SAYS ALL CREATION

WAS SUBJECT TO CORRUPTION.

AND THAT CREATION

LITERALLY GROANS FOR THE

REVELATION OF THE SONS OF

GOD.

SO WE ALL LOOK FORWARD TO

THAT DAY.

AND IN THIS PRESENT

REALITY, THERE IS CHANCE,

CIRCUMSTANCE -- THE BIBLE

SAYS TIME AND CIRCUMSTANCE

HAPPEN TO US ALL.

THEY'RE RANDOM EVENTS.

JESUS EVEN SPOKE TO IT.

HE REFERRED SPECIFICALLY

TO A TOWER THAT FELL.

AND HE SAID, GOD DIDN'T

CAUSE THAT.

HE SPOKE SPECIFICALLY OF

SOMEONE BEING MURDERED IN

THE TEMPLE BY ROMAN

SOLDIERS, AND HE SAID, GOD

DIDN'T CAUSE THAT.

SO THERE IS A RANDOMNESS

TO THINGS.

AND IS GOD SOVEREIGN?

YES.

DOES HE HAVE A PLAN HE IS

WORKING OUT?

THAT'S OUR HOPE, AND IT IS

A WONDERFUL THING TO

REALIZE GOD HASN'T GIVEN

UP ON THAT DREAM, A DREAM

OF US WITH HIM IN A

GARDEN, AND WE'RE GOING TO

ENJOY THAT ONE DAY.

JESUS SAID, "IN THIS WORLD

YOU'LL HAVE TROUBLE, BUT

BE OF GOOD CHEER BECAUSE I

HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD."

SO MY PRAYER FOR YOU IS

THAT YOU'LL HAVE A DREAM

ABOUT THAT REUNION WITH

YOUR CHILD.

YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE IT

AND HAVE THAT HOPE BEFORE

YOU.

Terry: THIS IS MARY

WHO SAYS, "I'M HAVING

TROUBLE FASTING AND

PRAYING.

WHEN I SET A DATE OR

DECIDE I'LL FAST TOMORROW,

WHEN TOMORROW SHOWS UP, I

EAT INSTEAD.

I NEED YOUR HELP.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?"

Gordon: MARY, JOIN

THE CLUB.

I THOUGHT OF ALL KINDS OF

40-DAY FASTS THAT I'VE

NEVER COMPLETED.

DON'T VIEW FASTING -- BE

CAREFUL ABOUT MAKING VOWS

TO GOD.

IF YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE

COMPLETING IT, FORGIVE

YOURSELF FOR THAT AND SAY,

LET'S TRY AGAIN.

AND REALIZE THAT GOD IS

MERCIFUL AND YOU DWELL IN

HIS GRACE.

> WE LEAVE YOU TODAY

WITH THESE WORDS FROM

PSALM 20: "MAY HE GRANT

YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR

HEART'S DESIRE AND FULFILL

ALL YOUR PURPOSE."

ALL YOUR PURPOSE."
