Well, it's time for your email questions.

And we're going to get some honest answers

from Pat, who's with us.

This viewer writes in, "Can a person

claim healing for someone else?

I cleaned healing for a person close to me.

I've had extreme peace in my heart

since your word of knowledge for this person's condition.

Please respond!"

Well, of course you can pray for somebody else

and claim healing for somebody else.

Absolutely.

People are praying--

[INAUDIBLE]

They're praying for their children all the time.

They're praying for their spouse.

They're praying for their neighbors and friends.

Of course, you can.

And you've been benefiting from a lot of prayer, as well.

Oh, am I ever.

You know, I--

Give us a quick update on your healing

from the horse accident.

It's the worst accident in my entire life.

And I am up and around, walking, and going strong.

And you know, it's amazing.

I mean, in a matter of a few days?

The ribs are healing nicely?

Well, I don't know about my ribs,

but I don't-- they don't hurt, so I'm--

WENDY GRIFFITH: Praise the Lord.

--I've got one of those machines you blow into, well,

you breathe into.

It's setting new records for me.

So I'm good, praise the Lord.

Oh, let's prise the Lord.

Well, keep praying for Pat.

All right.

All right.

Wayne says, "I began having sex at the age of 10.

Then I started dating at age 15 and was married by 18.

I've been divorced three times.

I always seem to go after women who had previously

been mistreated and felt it was my job to show them

how a woman should be treated.

I now realize, I should have prayed for them,

not married them.

My current wife and I have a wonderful, godly marriage.

My question is, does God forgive me for all the mess

ups and marriages in my past?

I've asked him to forgive me."

You've got one of the most fouled up lives I've--

10 o'clock-- I mean, 10 years old, you're having sex?

10 years old, you're having sex?

And dating at 15, married by 18.

Well, I can understand the dating at 15, but, you know,

the other--

in any event, the answer is, God, of course,

can forgive you.

God forgives all sins and blasphemies

given among the sons of man.

God is a forgiving God.

He doesn't-- look, God doesn't want to condemn you.

God does not want to condemn you.

What he wants to do is to see you in his service,

to be a useful member of the community you live in.

And what does the Bible say, having a conscience cleansed

of good works, that you might serve the living God.

That's what God wants, all right?

All right.

Sharon says, "In reference to Psalm 103,

I've heard some say that the verse where it says,

'He forgives all of our sins and heals all

of our diseases,' doesn't refer to actual healing of our bodies

and minds but something else because not everyone gets

healed.

Please clarify this."

Well, he does heal our diseases.

If you look at the--

what is it, Isaiah 53, he's talking about the atonement

and, you know, by His stripes we are healed.

And the healing has to do with physical.

He bore upon himself our sicknesses, our infirmities,

and our diseases.

And so the answer is, He does heal it,

but it doesn't necessarily mean He heals everybody.

Just because it says, you know, He heals our diseases--

when you come to Him, He'll do it.

He forgives our sins.

Does He forgive all sin?

No, He doesn't forgive all sin because all people

don't ask Him.

So the answer is, that is for everybody.

And I think you ought to take it.

All right?

Amen.

Joe says, "Work routinely schedules me

during every Sunday and midweek service.

What should I do about that?"

I think what you're going to have

to do is make an accommodation with your employer.

Say, look I'm--

I've got to serve the Lord, and you're not

allowing me to do it.

I believe that the time may come that you have a parting,

but talk to the person who hires you.

Talk to your employer.

Tell him your problems.

And see if he or she won't agree with you.

If they do, then you've won something.

But if not, then it's time to look for another job.

Does he have any legal rights, religious freedom at all?

I think the idea of an accommodation

for religious activity is pretty much built into our law

these days.

Yes.

He might want to check into that, too.

PAT ROBERTSON: Yeah, OK.

All right.

Kathy says, "I have been a Christian for many years.

What if I trust God with my soul but not with my life?

How can I believe that God wants good for me

when almost nothing but bad happens to me?"

I think it's your mind.

It isn't God.

It's your mind.

You're asking for your stuff.

You know, a man shall eat good by the fruit of his lips.

What do you declare?

What is your-- you know, that statement--

you've just made a declaration that you've got nothing but bad

coming your way.

Whereas you say, this is the day the Lord hath made.

I will rejoice and be glad in it.

God is on the throne.

His blessing is upon me.

Blessed, oh, Lord, oh, my soul and all that is within me.

Bless His holy name.

And what is the Aaronic Blessing?

May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Speak those things.

Speak positively.

When you think that way, you're bringing curses on yourself.

All right.

One last question.

Joyce says, "What does it mean to heap coals on your enemy's

head?"

[LAUGHS] Well, in the old days, if your fire went out,

you know, it doesn't mean to burn your brains out

of the guy.

WENDY GRIFFITH: [LAUGHS]

But if your fire went out, then they

carried the coals on their head to start the new fire.

So it was an embarrassment.

So that's what it amounts to.

I never knew that.

Heap coals of fire-- well, that's what it meant.

It meant, you've screwed up.

You let your fire go out, and somebody has to put coal here.

That's what-- it's not, burn your brains out.

All right.

I pictured-- my grandparents back in West Virginia,

in a basement, they had a big, coal-burning furnace.

PAT ROBERTSON: Yeah, yeah.

And they had a huge pile of coal down in the bottom.

PAT ROBERTSON: Oh, yeah.

And they put it in there.

So i kind of understand that.

Well, we had the same thing in my house.

I mean, we had one of those deals that was--

in the old days, we had a shovel,

and we shoveled the coal in.

Yeah, that's how they did it.

And then at night, you had to bank the embers and so forth.

WENDY GRIFFITH: The coal [INAUDIBLE]..

But if the coal-- if the fire goes out,

to heap coals of fire on their head meant that you have let

your fire go out--

I think I'm saying it right--

not burn up his head with the fire.

WENDY GRIFFITH: All right.

Well, we-- thank you--

OK.

Thank you for those questions.

God bless all of you.

We appreciate hearing from you.

I hope that answers some questions.

Yes.

Some great, honest answers.

And, you know, I just have to say,

Pat, that I don't know anybody who'd get thrown from a horse,

breaks seven ribs, have a ruptured spleen and a broken

thumb, and be back at work in a week.

So we are just thanking God.

Well, I think it's important to be here.

And I love being with you and with our friends.

And I hope I can be a blessing to people in this audience.

Well, we'll be praying for you, so--

PAT ROBERTSON: Thank you.

--it's good to see you.

PAT ROBERTSON: Don't stop.

You look amazing.
