Gordon: AN UNLIKELY

CANDIDATE BECOMES

COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

WHY THIS C.E.O. AND OTHER

CHRISTIAN LEADERS

ULTIMATELY CAMPAIGNED FOR

TRUMP, AND THE SPIRITUAL

SIGNIFICANCE OF OUR 45th

PRESIDENT.

> PLUS...AS SEEMINGLY

MINOR ACCIDENT TURNS

CRITICAL.

SHE WAS LAYING THERE

WITH EVERYTHING IN THE

WORLD HOOKED UP TO HER.

AND THEY DID DRILL INTO

HER SKULL.

Gordon: FIND OUT HOW

THE 6-YEAR-OLD

MIRACULOUSLY RECOVERED ON

TODAY'S "700 CLUB

INTERACTIVE."

> WELL, WELCOME TO THE

SHOW.

WHAT IS BEING HAILED AS A

MAJOR VICTORY FOR FREE

SPEECH -- AND I CERTAINLY

APPLAUD IT -- A CALIFORNIA

COURT RULED LAST WEEK THAT

THE STATE MUST NOT FORCE

PRO-LIFE PREGNANCY CENTERS

TO PROMOTE ABORTION

CLINICS.

Terry: THE RULING

HAULTS THE 2015 LAW CALLED

THE REPRODUCTIVE FACT ACT,

WHICH REQUIRED THE MEDICAL

CLINICS TO PROMOTE

STATE-COVERED ABORTION TO

THEIR CLINICS.

GOTHE JUSTICE SAID, "SPEECH

OF A POLITICAL OR CULTURAL

NATURE IS NOT THE TU TOOL OF

A FREE GOVERNMENT."

SHE GOES ON TO SAY, "THIS

STATUE PROPELS THE COURT

TO SPEAKS WORDS IT

PROFOUNDLY DISAGREES WITH

WHEN THE STATE HAS

ALTERNATIVE WAYS OF

PUBLISHING ITS MESSAGE."

Gordon: HALLELUJAH,

JUSTICE TRASK, FOR

RECOGNIZING WE HAVE

FREEDOM OF SPEECH, AND

COMPELLED SPEECH IS NO

FREE SPEECH OF ALL.

I FULLY EXPECT THIS WILL

BE APPEALED, AND THEN

WHERE DO WE GO ONCE IT IS

SENT TO APPEAL.

IT IS CURIOUS TO ME THESE

KINDS OF QUESTIONS END UP

IN THE LEGAL SYSTEM.

WHY DIDN'T THE STATE

GOVERNMENT, WHEN IT WAS

ENACTING THE LAW -- WHY

DIDN'T SOMEBODY SPEAK TO

UP SAY, DO WE REALLY WANT

TO GET INTO THIS?

DO WE REALLY WANT TO BE

JUST LIKE BIG BROTHER AND

FORCE ABORTION SPEECH ON

PRO-LIFE CLINICS?

IT JUST MAKE ANY SENSE.

WHY ARE WE DOING THAT?

Terry: EXACTLY.

THIS IS A GREAT

BREAKTHROUGH.

WE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT IT

HOLDS.

Gordon: YEAH.

WE ALL GET TO CHEER.

> RECENTLY, COUNTRIES

SUCH AS ICELAND AND

DENMARK HAVE BOASTED ABOUT

THE NEAR ERADICATION OF

DOWN STANDARD.

OF COURSE, THE ERADICATION

STARTS WITH TERMINATION OF

PREGNANCIES.

Terry: ONE REMARKABLE

MAN WITH DOWN SYNDROME

RECENTLY TOOK HIS MESSAGE

TO CONGRESS.

TAKE A LOOK.

PLEASE REMEMBER THIS: I

AM A MAN WITH DOWN

SYNDROME AND MY LIFE IS

WORTH LIVING.

WE ARE GIVING THE WORLD A

CHANCE TO THINK ABOUT THE

ETHICS OF CHOOSING WHICH

HUMANS GET A CHANCE AT

LIFE.

IS THERE REALLY NO PLACE

FOR US IN THE WORLD?

LET'S BE AMERICA.

NOT ICELAND OR DENMARK.

LET'S PURSUE ANSWERS, NOT

FINAL SOLUTIONS.

LET'S BE AMERICA.

LET'S MAKE OUR GOAL TO BE

ALDALZHEIMER'S FREE, NOT DOWN

SYNDROME FREE.

THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE]

Gordon: WHAT A

SPEECH.

Terry: HOW CAN YOU

SAY ANYTHING BUT YES.

Gordon: YES.

YES.

YES.

LET'S NOT -- I'M SORRY,

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION

PUTS A LOT OF PRESSURE ON

COUPLES WHEN THE DIAGNOSIS

IS MADE.

AND THERE IS JUST ENORMOUS

PRESSURE TO TERMINATE, BUT

LET THAT SPEECH RING OUT

THAT, NO, LIFE IS WORTH

LIVING.

Terry: AND YOU KNOW,

SO MANY FAMILIES THAT HAVE

BEEN BLESSED WITH CHILDREN

WITH DOWN SYNDROME TALK

ABOUT JUST THAT, THAT IT

HAS BEEN A BLESSING,

SOMETHING THEY WOULDN'T

EVEN HAVE REALIZED WOULD

CHANGE THE QUALITY OF

THEIR LIVES.

SO LET'S HEAR FROM THEM AS

WELL.

> WELL, HIGH SCHOOL

STUDENTS ARE OFTEN FACED

WITH LIFE-CHANGING

DECISIONS, LIKE SAYING NO

TO DRUGS AND ALCOHOL, OR

ABSTAINING FROM SEXUAL

ACTIVITY.

FOR SOME, THE CHOICE TO

STAY IN SCHOOL OR DROP OUT

IS A COMMON REALITY.

Gordon: A SCHOOL IN

MEMPHIS ALLOWED STUDENTS

TO SEE TWO DIFFERENT

PERSPECTIVES.

IT ALL HAPPENS ON A SCHOOL

BUS.

THE CHOICE BUS IS A

CONVERTED SCHOOL, AND HALF

OF IT IS A CLASSROOM.

THE OTHER HALF IS A PRISON

CELL.

AND SINCE 2008, OVER TWO

MILLION STUDENTS HAVE

BOARDED THE BUS, AND THE

HOPE IS TO REDUCE THE OVER

ONE MILLION STUDENTS WHO

DROP OUT ANNUALLY.

EIGHT OUT OF TEN PEOPLE

THAT ARE IN PRISON,

BASICALLY 75%, DID NOT

FINISH HIGH SCHOOL.

THEY CAN SEE THE

CHOICES THEY MAKE AND CAN

SEE THE NEGATIVE IMPACT IN

THE FUTURE OF THEIR LIVES.

Gordon: I HOPE THEY

DO UNDERSTAND THE NEGATIVE

EFFECT, THAT IF YOU DON'T

GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL, YOUR

EMPLOYMENT STUDENTS IN THE

INFORMATION AGE ARE

REMARKABLY LIMITED.

IS IT TRUE YOU CAN MAKE

IT?

ARE PEOPLE WITHOUT HIGH

SCHOOL DIPLOMAS DOING WELL

AND SUCCEEDING?

YES.

BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, THEY

TEND TO BE THE EXCEPTION.

THE RULE IS YOU FIND IT

VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND A

JOB, AND ONCE YOU FIND IT

DIFFICULT TO FIND A JOB,

NOW WHAT DO YOU DO?

THERE IS A REASON WHY

EIGHT OUT OF 10 PRISON

INMATES ARE IN PRISON.

Terry: AND PEOPLE WHO

DIDN'T TECHNICALLY

GRADUATE OFTEN SUCCEED

BECAUSE THEY GO BACK AND

GET A G.E.D.

THERE ARE OPTIONS, BUT IT

IS NOT EASY.

Gordon: IF YOU DIDN'T

GRADUATE, PLEASE GET A

G.E.D.

EMPLOYERS REALLY LOOK AT

THAT BECAUSE IT SHOWS YOU

HAVE INITIATIVE, AND YOU

SAID, I'M GOING TO MAKE A

DIFFERENCE, I'M GOING TO

MAKE A CHANGE.

Terry: THE NEW

TESTAMENT URGES CHRISTIANS

TO RUN THE SPIRITUAL RACE

WITH ENDURANCE.

ECCLESIASTES SAYS THAT TWO

ARE BETTER THAN ONE, AND

IF ONE FALLS, THE OTHER

CAN PICK THEM UP.

Gordon: TWO HIGH

SCHOOL RUNNERS GAVE US AN

UNINTENDED PICTURE OF THAT

REALITY.

IT HAPPENED RECENTLY IN

UTAH AT THE STATE COUNTRY

CHAMPIONSHIP.

BLAKE LOUIS FELT A SHARP

PAIN AND QUICKLY REALIZED

HE HAD BROKEN HIS LEG.

HIS TEAMMATE DECIDED TO

CARRY HIM TO THE FINISH

LINE.

IT WAS SUPER HARD AND I

HEARD HIM SCREAMING THE

WHOLE WAY.

BUT I JUST KEPT TELLING

HIM, WE'RE A FAMILY AND

WE'RE A TEAM, AND WE'RE

GOING TO FINISH THIS ONE

TOGETHER.

THAT WAS A REALLY COOL

EXPERIENCE.

SOMETHING I'LL REMEMBER

FOR A REALLY LONG TIME.

IF IT IS BEING

DISQUALIFIED FOR THAT

REASON, I'M ALL FOR IT.

THAT'S WHO I AM.

I'M NOT A HERO.

I'M JUST BLAKE'S BROTHER.

Terry: HE IS A HERO.

Gordon: I HOPE THEY

DIDN'T DISQUALIFY HIM.

I GUESS THAT WOULD BE

ASSISTANCE, BUT WHAT A

WONDERFUL PICTURE OF LOVE.

Terry: YEAH.

Gordon: AND

SELF-SACRIFICE, TO GIVE UP

YOUR OWN POSITION IN THE

RACE, TO MAKE SURE YOUR

TEAMMATE FINISHES.

Terry: THAT'S THE

DEFINITION OF SUCCESS.

GREAT GUY.

Gordon: WELL, HIS

RISE TO THE PRESIDENCY WAS

ONE OF THE MOST UNUSUAL IN

OUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY.

FIND OUT WHY ONE CHRISTIAN

LEADER SAYS PRESIDENT

TRUMP'S OFFICE WAS

ORDAINED BY GOD.

C.E.O. STEVESTRANG JOINS

Gordon: ON MONDAY,

2016, THE DAY BEFORE THE

ELECTION, MOST EXPERTS

WERE ALREADY CROWNING

HILLARY CLINTON OR

NATION'S 45th PRESIDENT.

THEN CAME ELECTION DAY,

AND THE RESULTS, ACCORDING

TO STEVEN STRANG, THEY

WERE MIRACULOUS.

TAKE A LOOK.

THE CONSTITUTION OF THE

UNITED STATES.

SO HELP ME GOD.

SO HELP ME GOD.

Reporter: DONALD

TRUMP STUNNED THE NATION

BY BECOMING THE 4511th

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

STATES.

STEVE STRANG IS THE C.E.O.

OF CHARISMA MEDIA.

LIKE MANY PEOPLE OF FAITH,

HE SUPPORTED TRUMP ONLY

BECAUSE TED CRUZ DROPPED

OUT OF THE RACE.

AFTER HE PERSONALLY

INTERVIEWED TRUMP LAST

FALL, HE BECAME PART OF

THE TEAM OF CHRISTIAN

LEADERS WHO BACKED THE

FUTURE PRESIDENT.

IN HIS BOOK "GOD AND

DONALD TRUMP," STEVE

SHARES THE REASONS WHY HE

GOT BEHIND THIS UNLIKELY

CANDIDATE, AND EXPLORES

THE POSSIBILITY OF A

DIVINE INTERVENTION

INVOLVED IN HIS ELECTION.

Gordon: STEVEN STRANG

JOINS US NOW, AND IT IS

ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO HAVE

YOU WITH US.

THANK YOU.

IT IS AN HONOR TO BE PEER.

HERE.

Gordon: THANK YOU FOR

THE BOOK, "GOD AND DONALD

TRUMP," WHICH REALLY

SPELLS OUT WHAT MANY

PEOPLE THOUGHT WAS

IMPOSSIBLE.

FOR ME, WE WERE WATCHING

THE ELECTION RETURNS, AND

MY WIFE COULDN'T WATCH

ANYMORE, AND SHE SAID, I

CAN'T WATCH THIS BECAUSE

ALL OF THE EXPERTS WERE

SAYING HILLARY WAS GOING

TO WIN.

AND YOU STARTED TO SEE THE

NARRATIVE ON THE NEWS

PROGRAMS CHANGE IN SORT OF

BEWILDERMENT SET IN.

AND THEN YOU WOKE UP THE

NEXT DAY GOING, HOW DID

THIS HAPPEN?

SO ANSWER THE QUESTION I

THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE

HAVE: HOW DID TRUMP APPEAL

TO EVANGELICALS?

WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THE

NIGHT YOU'RE TALKING

ABOUT, I WAS UP AT THE NEW

YORK HILTON AT THE VICTORY

PARTY BECAUSE I BELIEVED

THAT HE WAS GOING TO WIN.

I WASN'T SURE.

I WAS NERVOUS.

BUT I WOULD NOT HAVE GONE

UP IF I THOUGHT FOR SURE

HE WAS GOING TO LOSE.

BECAUSE I COULD SEE --

FIRST OF ALL, IT HAD BEEN

PROPHESIED.

AND THINGS HAD BEEN

SHIFTING.

THERE WERE ALL OF THESE

SORT OF MIRACULOUS BOOSTS

TO HIS CAMPAIGN, THAT WHO

COULD EXPLAIN THEM.

AND SO THERE WAS KIND OF

AN, I FELT, AN UNTOLD

STORY.

I READ SEVERAL OF THE

BOOKS ON TRUMP, AND NONE

OF THEM GO INTO THIS AT

ALL.

THEY DON'T MENTION HOW THE

EVANGELICALS SUPPORTED

HIM.

BACK TO YOUR QUESTION --

PART OF THE REASON

EVANGELICALS,

BIBLE-BELIEVING CHRISTIANS

SUPPORTED HIM WAS THE

ALTERNATIVE.

HILLARY CLINTON --

Gordon: ANYBODY BUT.

RIGHT.

ANYBODY BUT.

AND WE COULD SAY A LOT

ABOUT HER POLICIES AND

EVERYTHING, AND, REALLY,

THERE ARE OTHER

POLITICIANS THAT ARE

EQUALLY LEFT, OR EVEN MORE

SO IN THE CASE OF BERNIE

SANDERS, BUT WITH HILLARY

CLINTON, SHE BROUGHT A

LEVEL OF CORRUPTION THAT

WE HAVE NEVER SEEN IN

POLITICS.

AND I BELIEVE THAT GOD

ANSWERED OUR PRAYERS.

IN FACT, I'LL THANK YOU

FOR YOUR ENDORSEMENT,

WHICH I REALLY APPRECIATE.

YOU SAID -- KIND OF WHAT

YOU JUST SAID RIGHT NOW,

IF YOU WOKE UP TODAY AFTER

THE ELECTION AND ASKED

WHAT HAPPENED -- AND I'VE

USED THAT AS I'VE BEEN

INTERVIEWED WITH THE BOOK

COMING OUT, AND I SAID

HILLARY CLINTON WROTE A

BOOK "WHAT HAPPENED," AND

MY BOOK ANSWERS THE

QUESTION.

I BELIEVE IT IS BECAUSE

GOD INTERVENED AND

ANSWERED PEOPLE'S PRAYERS.

Gordon: DO YOU THINK

HILLARY CLINTON

UNDERSTANDS WHY SHE LOST?

OF COURSE SHE DOESN'T.

I HAVEN'T READ HER BOOK.

I PROBABLY WILL.

BUT SHE BLAMES EVERYBODY

IN THE WORLD BUT HERSELF.

Gordon: FOR ME, ONE

OF THE TURNING POINTS,

FRANKLY, IN WATCHING THE

DEBATE, PARTIAL BIRTH

ABORTION IS BROUGHT UP.

DURING HER HUSBAND'S

PRESIDENCY, HE SIGNED INTO

LAW A BILL PROHIBITING

PARTIAL BIRTHDAY ABORTION.

IN THE DEBATE, SHE IS FULL

ON.

SHE IS SAYING, WE'LL NEVER

TURN THAT AWAY.

IT WILL NEVER STOP.

AND I THINK TRUMP

MASTERFULLY PUSHED HER TO

THAT POSITION.

AND HE ALSO SAID THAT

HE WOULD WORK TO OVER TURN

ROE VS. WADE.

MOST POLITICIANS, EVEN THE

ONES THAT OPPOSE ABORTION,

THEY JUST SORT OF LIVE

WITH IT, YOU KNOW, IT IS

THE LAW OF THE LAND.

BUT DONALD TRUMP IS GOING

TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

AND I WRITE ABOUT THAT IN

"GOD AND DONALD TRUMP,"

THAT NIGHT, THAT DEBATE,

THAT WAS A TURNING POINT.

THE ONES I QUOTED WERE

HISPANIC PASTORS -- I HAD

HISPANIC PASTORS TELL ME

IF TRUMP'S IMMIGRATION

THINGS WENT IN AND THEY

SENT ALL OF THE ILLEGALS

BACK, WHICH DOESN'T LOOK

LIKE IT IS GOING TO

HAPPEN, THEY WOULD LOSE

HALF OF THEIR CHURCH.

I'M WONDERING, HALF OF

YOUR CHURCH IS ILLEGAL?

THESE ARE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE

TRYING TO ASSIMILATE THE

BEST AS THEY CAN.

WHEN HILLARY CLINTON SAID

THAT IN THE DEBATE, THEY

WERE TEXTING EACH OTHER

AND SAYING, THAT'S JUST

TOO MUCH.

I'M OVER IT.

AND ACTUALLY THE BOOK

DOCUMENTS THAT THE

HISPANIC COMMUNITY VOTED

FOR TRUMP A LOT MORE THAN

PEOPLE EXPECTED.

AND AMONG CHRISTIANS,

BIBLE-BELIEVING

CHRISTIANS, YOU KNOW, EVEN

THOUGH IMMIGRATION WAS

VERY IMPORTANT TO THEM,

AND THEY TEND TO KIND OF

STICK TOGETHER ON THAT,

PEA BACKED TRUMP.

AND IT WAS ALL THESE

DIFFERENT THINGS HAPPENING

THAT ACTUALLY GAVE HIM THE

MARGIN TO DEFEAT HER.

Gordon: LET'S TALK

ABOUT THE PROPHECIES.

I THINK ONE OF THE GREAT

THINGS ABOUT THE BOOK IS

THAT YOU BRING OUT THE

PROPHECIES.

AND ONE THAT A LOT OF

PEOPLE PROBABLY DON'T KNOW

IS THAT AN AMERICAN LIVING

IN ITALY, A DEEP MAN OF

PRAYER, PROPHESIED THAT

TRUMP WOULD ONE DAY BE

PRESIDENT.

WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?

WELL -- NO.

HE PROPHESIED THAT TRUMP

WOULD TURN AMERICA TOWARDS

GOD.

IT HAPPENED IN THE

1980s.

AND HE TOLD AN AMERICAN

MEDICAL STUDENT STUDYING

IN ITALY -- I GUESS HE WAS

LIKE A MENTOR AND THEY HAD

BECOME FRIENDS -- HE TOLD

HIM THATED GOD WAS GOING

TO RAISE UP AN AMERICAN

BUSINESSMAN NAMED DONALD

TRUMP TO TURN AMERICA TO

GOD.

AND THE DOCTOR SAID,

YOU'RE KIDDING.

HE IS A NEW YORK PLAYBOY.

AND THE MAN SAID, NO, I

KNOW IT IS GOING TO

HAPPEN.

I EVEN PUT HIS NAME ON A

BRICK.

AND THEY BRICK UP

ST. PETER'S GATE, OR

SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AT

THE VATICAN.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL

THAT STUFF.

BUT THE MAN DEVOTED HIS

LIFE TO PRAYER AND WENT TO

MASS EVERY DAY.

AND HE CAME HOME IN 2008

AND DIED THE FOLLOWING

YEAR.

SO WHEN TRUMP RAN FOR

PRESIDENT, THIS MEDICAL

STUDENT, NOW A PROMINENT

DOCTOR IN BOSTON, TOLD HIS

PRIEST ABOUT IT.

HE SAID, YOU WOULDN'T

BELIEVE WHAT THIS MAN TOLD

ME.

IN FACT, HE HAD TOLD HIS

PRIEST TO GO VISIT THE MAN

IN ITALY, THE NEXT TIME HE

WAS THERE, AND HE DID.

SO THIS PRIEST REMEMBERED

THE MAN AND SO FORTH.

AND THE PRIEST DID A

VIDEO.

AND IT WENT VIRAL.

THAT'S HOW I FOUND OUT

ABOUT IT.

AND I INTERVIEWED ALL OF

THE PEOPLE INVOLVED.

IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO

BELIEVING THIS DOCTOR.

BUT WHY WOULD HE MAKE THAT

UP?

AND MY FEELING IS THAT GOD

SPEAKS TO PEOPLE TODAY,

AND MAYBE IN A WAY THAT WE

DON'T EXPECT, AND MAYBE

DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND.

Gordon: HOW DO YOU

THINK TRUMP IS DOING ON

THAT, TURNING AMERICA BACK

TO GOD?

HERE WE'RE ALMOST A YEAR

INTO HIS TERM, AND HOW

WOULD YOU GRADE HIM AS

THIS POINT?

WELL, THAT'S A GOOD

QUESTION.

AND THE PRIEST -- HIS NAME

IS VERDE, WHERE RHODE

ISLAND -- TOLD ME TRUMP

TURNED AMERICA TOWARDS GOD

WHEN HE BEAT HILLARY

CLINTON.

THAT STOPPED THIS EXTREME

LEFT-WARD DRIFT THAT WOULD

HAVE HAPPENED.

AND HE APPOINTED NEIL

GORSUCH, AND HE HAS DONE

EXECUTIVE ORDERS ABOUT

ABORTION.

AND HE IS GOING TO END THE

JOHNSON AMENDMENT, WHICH

KIND OF MUZZLES PASTORS --

HE SAYS HE IS GOING TO

OVER TURN IT.

A POLITICIAN, HE IS NOT

PASTOR IN CHIEF, BUT HE

HAS A LOT OF POWER AND A

LOT OF AUTHORITY AND HE

CAN KIND OF SHIFT THE

NATION.

Gordon: I THINK

YOU'RE ON TO SOMETHING

WITH THIS JOHNSON

AMENDMENT.

IF WE CAN GET THAT

REPEALED, THEN YOU WILL

SEE A TURNING BECAUSE NOW

CHURCHES WILL HAVE A VOICE

IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS,

WHICH THEY HAD -- BACK IN

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION,

IT WAS NO KING BUT JESUS,

WAS THE COMMON SERMON IN

THE PULPITS ACROSS

AMERICA.

AND IT IS LIKE PASTORS ARE

AFRAID NOW TO EVEN TALK

ABOUT POLITICS IN MATTERS

OF CONSCIENCE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS

GOING TO TAKE TO ACTUALLY

MAKE THAT HAPPEN, TO SAY

THAT THE JOHNSON AMENDMENT

SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN

PART OF THE I.R.S. LAW?

WELL, IT WAS PUT INTO

THE LAW BY LINDEN JOHNSON,

WHO WAS A U.S. SENATOR.

YOU PROBABLY KNOW THIS

STORY.

THE INTERESTING THING

IS -- WE'VE WRITTEN ABOUT

THIS BEFORE.

AND I'VE NEVER HEARD OF

ANY POLITICIAN EVEN TALK

ABOUT IT, LET ALONE SAY HE

IS GOING TO REPEAL IT.

AND THE STORY OF HOW THAT

HAPPENED I FIND

INTERESTING.

HE WAS WITH A GROUP OF

PASTORS, AND THEY WERE

PRAYING FOR HIM.

THEY WERE TALKING.

AND THEN HE JUST ASKED

THEM FOR THEIR SUPPORT.

AND THEY ALL LOOKED AT THE

FLOOR.

AND HE SAYS, WHAT'S WRONG?

AND THEY SAID, WE CAN'T

SUPPORT YOU.

AND HE SAID, WHAT DO YOU

MEAN?

HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE

JOHNSON AMENDMENT.

AND THEY EXPLAINED IT TO

HIM AND HE SAID, THAT IS

WRONG.

Gordon: AND HE GETS

THE STRATEGIC POSITION OF

IT, AND HE GETS HOW IT

SILENCED THE CHURCH IN

POLITICS, THAT YOU CAN'T

BE THE CONSCIENCE OF THE

NATION.

BUT IT IS A LITTLE BIT

OF A BUGABOO SINCE 1954,

ONLY ONE CHURCH HAS LOST

THEIR NON-PROFIT STATUS

OVER THERE, BUT PEOPLE ARE

AFRAID.

IT IS A MUZZLE.

IT IS THE CHILLING OF

POLITICAL SPEECH, THE

THREAT OF AN I.R.S.

INVESTIGATION.

AND SADLY A LOT OF

PASTORS HIDE BEHIND THAT.

THIS GIVES THEM AN EASY

OUT.

I BELIEVE, PERSONALLY,

THAT THAT IS PART OF WHAT

IS WRONG WITH OUR COUNTRY,

THAT THE CHURCH HAWS HAS

WITHDRAWN AND WITHDRAWN

AND WITHDRAWN, AND THE

OTHER SIDE HAS BECOME MORE

AND MORE ACTIVE.

Gordon: YOU CAN'T

RETREAT BEHIND THE CHURCH

DOOR.

EITHER WE WE'RE SALT AND

LIGHT IN OUR CULTURE, OR

WE GET THROWN OUT.

JESUS WAS PRETTY SPECIFIC

WITH THAT.

WHEN THE SALT LOSES ITS

FLAVOR, YOU THROW IT OUT.

THESE ISSUES IN OUR

COUNTRY HAVE BEEN AROUND

FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.

A LONG TIME.

WHEN I WENT TO SECULAR

UNIVERSITY IN THE '70s,

IT WAS VERY, VERY LEFT

WING, ANTI-WAR ERA, THE

WHOLE THING.

Gordon: IT STILL IS.

EXCEPT IT IS A WHOLE

LOT WORSE.

IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND

WORSE AND WORSE.

Gordon: AND WE NEED

TO RECOGNIZE IT IS STILL A

MINORITY.

THERE IS STILL A CHRISTIAN

VOICE IN AMERICA THAT

NEEDS TO BE HEARD.

ANYWAY, WE CAN GO ON WITH

THIS FOR A LONG TIME.

BUT THEY'RE GIVING ME THE

WRAP.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE,

JUST GET THE BOOK, "GOD

AND DONALD TRUMP," AND

IT'S AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE.

IT IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE

HAVING YOU.

THANK YOU.

Gordon: TERRY, OVER

TO YOU.

Terry: WELL, COMING

UP, A 6-YEAR-OLD SUFFERS

MASSIVE BRAIN TRAUMA.

WHAT WOULD HAVE

EVENTUALLY HAPPENED IS HER

BRAIN WOULD HAVE SEEPED

OUT OF HER EARS AND THEN

SHE WOULD HAVE DIED.

BUT I SAID, GOD, PLEASE

DON'T TAKE HER YET.

Terry: FIND OUT WHY

THIS MOM HAD REASON TO

HOPE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS

Terry: AFTER REAGAN

BOWMAN FELL, SHE WAS TAKEN

ON ABOUT A 60-MILE JOURNEY

TO THE NEAREST TRAUMA

HOSPITAL.

HER PARENTS KNEW THEIR

LITTLE GIRL WAS AT THE

BEGINNING OF A VERY LONG

ROAD, AND SHE WAS GOING TO

NEED PRAYER EVERY STEP OF

THE WAY.

Reporter:

FEBRUARY 2nd, 2011, WAS

AN UNUSUALLY CALM DAY ON

THE BOWMAN FARM IN

VIRGINIA.

THAT CHANGED SOON AFTER

6-YEAR-OLD REAGAN GOT HOME

FROM SCHOOL.

LIKE MOST DAYS, SHE HAD

GONE OUT TO PLAY IN THE

LOFT OF THE STORAGE SHED.

EVERY DAY SHE GOES OUT

THERE AND PLAYS WITH HER

CATS.

AND SHE FELL AND HIT HER

HEAD ON THE CONCRETE AND

CRAWLED OUT.

MY SON FOUND HER IN THE

DRIVEWAY.

AND THEN HE PICKED HER UP

AND CARRIED HER TO MY

HUSBAND.

Reporter: HER

PARENTS, DARYL AND TARA,

SAW NO SIGNS OF SERIOUS

INJURY.

SHE WAS CRYING, BUT SHE

WOULDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

THERE WAS NO BLEEDING OR

NOTHING TO INDICATE SHE

WAS REALLY HURT.

Reporter: TO BE SAFE

THEY CALLED 9-1-1.

THEY WERE STUNNED WHEN THE

STAFF TOLD THEY SHE NEEDED

TO BE MEDEVACED TO THE

HOSPITAL IN NEARBY

CHARLOTTESVILLE.

THAT WAS A TOUGH TIME,

WATCHING THE HELICOPTER GO

OVER THE HORIZON INTO

CHARLOTTESVILLE, KNOWING

YOUR BABY IS IN THAT

HELICOPTER AND YOU'RE NOT,

YOU KNOW.

WE HAD A LOT OF

CONCERNS ON THE WAY TO THE

V.A.

I MADE LIKE THREE PHONE

CALLS TO THREE PREACHERS.

I KIND OF TOLD THEM TO

PRAY FOR US.

I REALLY EXPECTED TO

TAKE HER HOME IN A DAY OR

TWO.

Reporter: AT THE

HOSPITAL, THEY LEARNED

REAGAN HAD SUFFERED HEAD

TRAUMA AND WAS IN CRITICAL

CONDITION.

IN ADDITION TO HER

SEVERE BRAIN INJURY, SHE

HAD A FRACTURE OF HER

LOWER LEFT LEG AND A

FRACTURE OF HER RIGHT

ORBIT, SO AROUND HER RIGHT

EYE.

IT WAS VERY SEVERE.

HER INJURIES WERE

LIFE-THREATENING.

SHE COULD HAVE DIED IN THE

SHORT-TERM, IN THE ACUTE

PROCESS.

SHE WAS LAYING THERE

WITH EVERY TUBE IN THE

WORLD HOOKED UP TO HER.

AND THEY DID DRILL INTO

HER SKULL TO CHECK THE

CRANIAL PRESSURE.

LOOKING AT YOUR CHILD LAY

THERE IS DEFINITELY HARD.

IT...IT WAS VERY HARD.

YOU JUST COULDN'T

BELIEVE IT.

YOU WERE KIND OF CONFUSED

AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO

THINK.

THE BRAIN INJURY

RESULTED IN SWELLING OF

HER BRAIN, WHICH

PROGRESSED RAPIDLY OVER

THE FIRST 48 HOURS.

WHAT WOULD HAVE

EVENTUALLY HAPPENED IS HER

BRAIN WOULD HAVE SEEPED

OUT OF HER EARS.

AND THEN SHE WOULD HAVE

DIED.

BUT I JUST THOUGHT, GOD

CAN'T TAKE HER YET.

PLEASE DON'T TAKE HER YET.

THEY EVENTUALLY HAD TO

REMOVE BOTH OF HER FRONTAL

LOBES IN ORDER TO ALLOW

HER BRAIN TO HAVE ROOM TO

SWELL SO THAT FURTHER

DAMAGE WOULD NOT OCCUR.

Reporter: THE BOWMANS

REACHED OUT TO THEIR

COMMUNITY FOR PRAYER.

THE KIDS WENT TO A

COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN

SCHOOL.

THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER

THE ACCIDENT, THEY GOT

AROUND THE GYM AND HELD

HANDS, IN A BIG CIRCLE,

AND PRAYED FOR HER.

SHE CAME THROUGH HER

SURGERIES JUST FINE, NO

COMPLICATIONS.

BUT WE WON'T KNOW ABOUT

THE EFFECTS OF THE

ACCIDENT UNTIL SHE WAKES

UP FROM HER COMA.

THEN THE CONCERN WOULD

BE SHE WOULD HAVE SUCH

SEVERE LONG-TERM BRAIN

DAMAGE, THAT SHE WOULD END

UP WITH PROBLEMS WITH

WALKING, TALKING,

THINKING, EATING, TAKING

CARE OF HERSELF.

Reporter: REAGAN WAS

HEAVILY SEDATED FOR THREE

WEEKS.

DURING THAT TIME, THE

BRAIN SWELLING WENT DOWN

ENOUGH SO DOCTORS COULD

REPLACE THE BONES IN HER

SKULL.

AFTERWARDS, SHE STARTED

PHYSICAL THERAPY.

REAGAN HAD TO RELEARN

TO BRUSH HER TEETH AND TO

WALK AGAIN, AND MAKE SURE

SHE DIDN'T CHOKE WHEN SHE

WOULD SWALLOW, AND TO

PROTECT HER AIRWAYS.

EVERY DAY YOU COULD

TELL SHE WAS GETTING

BETTER.

YOU COULDN'T KEEP HER

DOWN.

SHE WAS STRONG-WILLED.

Reporter: THEN

ANOTHER PROBLEM DEVELOPED.

ONCE HER SKULL WAS PUT

BACK IN, UNFORTUNATELY SHE

DEVELOPED AN INFECTION AT

THE SITE.

AND SHE ENDED UP HAVING TO

BE ON SEVERAL COURSES OF

ANTIBIOTICS TO TREAT THAT.

SHE ENDED UP HAVING TO

HAVE THE FLUID DRAINED OUT

OF THAT VERY.

Reporter: THE BOWMANS

CONTINUED TO PRAY FOR

THEIR LITTLE GIRL'S

HEALING.

HEALING.

AND OVERNIGHT WE PRAYED

OVER HER.

WE SURROUNDED THE ROOM

WITH CHRISTIAN MUSIC AND

PRAYERS AND SCRIPTURE AND

SPOKE THE WORD OUT LOUD.

Reporter: REAGAN'S

INFECTION CLEARED UP

QUICKLY, AND SHE CONTINUED

HER THERAPY.

SHE ENDED UP SPENDING

LESS TIME IN

REHABILITATION THAN WE

THOUGHT.

SHE WAS GOING TO SPEND

TIME IN REHABILITATION.

HER PROGRESS WAS MORE

RAPID, MORE RAPID THAN WE

TYPICALLY SEE WITH

CHILDREN WHO HAD THIS

SEVERE OF A BRAIN INJURY.

IT WAS 56 DAYS AFTER

THE ACCIDENT, EIGHT WEEKS,

THAT WE GOT TO COME HOME

ON MARCH 30th.

AND GOD DIDN'T LEAVE

ANYTHING UNHEALED.

EVERYTHING WAS HEALED

COMPLETELY.

Reporter: THAT WAS

2011.

TODAY, AS REAGAN MOVES

INTO HER TEEN YEARS, SHE

STILL SHOWS NO SIGN OF

LONG-TERM EFFECTS.

I FEEL PERFECTLY FINE.

I FEEL LIKE I CAN DO

ANYTHING.

WE TYPICALLY WOULD SEE

SIGNIFICANT LONG-TERM

PROBLEMS WITH ATTENTION,

WITH IMPULSE CONTROL

PROBLEMS, LANGUAGE

PROBLEMS.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE AREAS

OF HER BRAIN THAT WERE

INJURED -- AND, AGAIN, IT

IS QUITE REMARKABLE THAT

SHE ISN'T MANIFESTING

THOSE DISABILITIES.

TO FINALLY BRING REAGAN

HOME AND HAVE HER WALK

THROUGH THE HOUSE WAS JUST

AN ENORMOUS HAPPY FEELING.

JUST THANK YOU, GOD.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU,

THANK YOU FOR LETTING HER

WALK THROUGH THAT DOOR.

I KNOW THAT GOD ANSWERS

PRAYERS BECAUSE I'M LIVING

PROOF OF THAT.

PRAYER DOES WORK, AND

THE POWER OF PRAYER WAS

THERE AND HEALED HER

COMPLETELY.

GOD IS THE GREAT

PHYSICIAN.

Terry: I MEAN, YOU

JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO

SAY ACCEPT YAY, GOD.

JUST AN AMAZING RECOVERY

FROM AN INJURY THAT COULD

HAVE EASILY TAKEN THIS

LITTLE GIRL'S LIFE.

Gordon: EASILY HAVE

TAKEN HER LIFE, EASILY

HAVE TAKEN HER FUNCTION.

BUT YOU HEARD HER, I CAN

DO ANYTHING.

REALIZE THAT, GOD WANTS TO

WORK MIRACLES, AND HE IS

THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY,

AND FOREVER.

IF YOU NEED A PRAYER,

LET'S JOIN IN PRAYER AND

REALIZE THAT GOD ANSWERS

PRAYER.

LORD, WE THANK YOU.

WE THANK YOU FOR THAT

WONDERFUL MIRACLE.

WE THANK YOU FOR HER LIFE.

WE THANK YOU FOR HER

RECOVERY.

AND NOW WE ARE BOLD ENOUGH

TO ASK FOR EVEN MORE.

SO FOR THOSE WHO ARE

HURTING IN THE AUDIENCE,

FOR THOSE WHO ARE FACING

THE LOSS OF LOVED ONES,

FOR THOSE WHO NEED A

MIRACLE, LORD STRETCH

FORTH YOUR HAND TO DO

MIRACLES TODAY.

AND WE JOIN IN AGREEMENT

WITH THEM.

AND WE SAY OVER THEM, BE

HEALED NOW.

IN JESUS' NAME.

AMEN, AND AMEN.

IF YOU NEED PRAYER, WE'RE

HERE FOR YOU.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PICK

UP THE PHONE AND CALL:

1-800-700-7000.

> HERE IS A WORD FROM

ECCLESIASTES: "TWO ARE

THEY HAVE A GOOD REWARD
