> TODAY, A YOUNG MAN FACES

CANCER.

THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE GOOD.

FOR A SECOND TIME.

EVERYWHERE AND GROWING.

THE DIAGNOSIS.

HE WILL DIE IMMEDIATELY.

AND THE UNLIKELY CURE.

I'M GOING GO FOR IT EVEN IF

IT KILLS

ME.

PLUS, THE LEAD SINGER FROM

THE BAND

OUTSPOKEN.

BOTH ON STAGE AND OFF.

THAT THERE WAS TO BE THE END

ALL BE

ALL.

ON TODAY'S "700 CLUB".

*

Gordon: WELCOME TO THE "700

CLUB".

FOR TODAY'S TOP STORIES, LET'S

GO TO

THE CBN NEWSROOM.

GORDON, MUCH OF THE COUNTRY

HAD A

WHITE CHRISTMAS.

WE LOOK AT THE TRAVEL.

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS

FRIGHTFUL.

FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TO

NEW

ENGLAND, SNOW AND MORE SNOW ON

CHRISTMAS DAY.

IN WASHINGTON STATES SNOW AND

ICE

CAUSING CRASHES ALONG THE

HIGHWAYS.

WE WENT TO CHECK ON THE

PEOPLE IN

THE TRUCK, AND THAT OTHER TRUCK

RAN

INTO THE TRUCK UPSIDE DOWN.

IN THIS AREA NO DIFFERENT AS

TRAFFIC

CAME TO A STOP.

AND IN THE MIDWEST, COLD

CHILLS.

AND THEY KNOW ABOUT THE COLD

AND SAY

PREPARATION IS KEY.

EVERYTHING YOU MUST TAKE

CARE OF.

IN THE NORTHEAST, SCARY

CONDITIONS

ABOARD A PLANE SKIDDING OFF THE

RUNWAY.

THERE WERE NO INJURIES

DURING THAT

INCIDENT.

BUT NOT EVERYONE IS DREADING

THE SNOW.

THESE KIDS ARE TAKING THE

WINTERY

WEATHER IN STRIDE AND ENJOYING

THE

CONDITIONS.

AND FOR THE PARTS OF THE

COUNTRY

THAT MISSED OUT ON THEIR WHITE

CHRISTMAS, NEVER FEAR,

FORECASTING SNOW

AND ICE WILL CONTINUE.

> THE PRESIDENT MADE

CHRISTMAS CALLS

TO THOSE IN SERVICE OVERSEAS

AND

ATTENDED THE CHURCH FOR

CHRISTMAS

SERVICES AT THE CHURCH THEY

WERE

MARRIED AT IN PALM BEACH.

HE SAID I'M PROUD TO HAVE LED

THE

CHARGE AND WISHING PEOPLE MERRY

CHRISTMAS.

THEY HAD A SPECIAL MESSAGE.

THIS SEASON WE CELEBRATE

AMERICANS

AND PRAY FOR PEACE ALL OVER THE

WORLD.

ON BEHALF OF MELANIA AND

MYSELF AND

MY ENTIRE FAMILY.

GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS

AMERICA AND

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

THE PRESIDENT WILL REDUCE

THE BUDGET

FOR 2018 AND 2019.

THERE IS NO WORD ON THE

CONTRIBUTION TO

THE UN.

LAST WEEK THE UN -- CONDEMNED

THE US

FOR SUPPORT.

THE PRESIDENT OF GUATEMALA

SAYS HE'S

MOVING THE EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM.

THERE WAS A VOTE AGAINST THE US.

NETANYAHU INSTRUCTED THE

FOREIGN

MINISTER TO BEGINNING TO MOVE

THE

EMBASSY FROM TEL AVIV TO

JERUSALEM.

THE PRESIDENT FROM BAHRAIN

HAS MOVED

TO ISRAEL.

WE HAVE EIGHT NIGHTS.

THERE WAS ONE SPIRITUALLY PURE.

ON THE FIRST NIGHT OF

HANUKKAH,

COOPER MADE HISTORY BY INVITING

A

DELEGATE FROM BAHRAIN TO TAKE

PART IN

LIGHTING THE FIRST CANDLE.

THAT THIS SIDE HAS BEEN

BROKEN,

TRYING TO MOVE THINGS FORWARD.

HE SAYS MOVING THINGS

FORWARD BY

TALKING TO PEOPLE.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO STOP THE

MIDDLE

EAST SITUATION, BUT BY BRINGING

FORWARD

THE CONTACTS, IT'S A LITTLE

LIGHT IN A

DARK PERIOD OUT THERE.

THIS IS BAHRAIN. OUR MESSAGE

HERE IS

ONE OF PEACE BEFORE EXISTENCE.

WE WANT

TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD AND

LET'S BE

HONEST, THE WORLD CAN BE A VERY

DARK

PLACE. AT THE MOMENT, MANY

PEOPLE ARE

FINDING THEMSELVES LIVING IN

FEAR IN

EXTREMISM AND RADICALIZED

TERRORIST.

THIS IS WHEN EVANGELICAL

MOORE LED

AN INVESTIGATION ON THE TOUR OF

JERUSALEM AND THE OLD CITY.

THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD WE

ARE LIVING

IN AND WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHEN

WE TALK

TO EACH OTHER AND SHOWING THAT

FAITH IS

NOT THE PROBLEM, IT'S THE

ANSWER.

THIS DEBATE FOLLOWED EARLIER

THIS

YEAR IN THE BAHRAIN

DECLARATION.

THE KINGDOM OF THE BAHRAIN

DECLARATION IS THE VERY

POWERFUL ITEM

CALLING FOR PEACE ALL OVER THE

WORD.

HEZBOLLAH LEADER CALLED THEM

TO BE

STONED.

THE ORGANIZERS WANTED TO

PRESENT A

DIFFERENT FACE ON THE LEADERS.

THE FACE OF THESE LEADERS

WILL

CHANGE THIS SITUATION.

THEY FEEL IT'S A NEW DAY FOR

THE

MIDDLE EAST.

THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT

BELIEVE THAT

YOU CANNOT BE COMMITTED TO THE

GOSPEL

AND TO TRADITIONAL CHRISTIAN

THEOLOGY

AND HAVE MEANINGFUL

COMMUNICATION AND

DIALOGUE WITH MUSLIMS OR

ANYBODY ELSE.

THERE WEREN'T ANY PEOPLE AND HE

CONNECTED TO THEIR LIVES AND

EXPERIMENTS.

THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING.

JUST BEFORE THE WEEKEND

PRESIDENT

TRUMP SIGNED THE NEW TAX BILL

INTO NEW

LAW.

SOME FEAR IT COULD AFFECT

CHARITABLE

GIVING.

WE TALKED TO PLANNERS FOR CBN

SAYS

THOSE WHO ITEMIZE CAN STILL

CONTINUE TO

USE THE DEDUCTION FOR

CHARITABLE

CONTRIBUTIONS.

THEY LOVE AND SUPPORT THE

MISSION OF

THEIR FAVORITE CHARITY AND THE

GOOD

WORKS AND THE CAUSES OF YOU

KNOW, THAT

PARTICULAR MISSION.

AND WITH THAT, TERRY, BACK

TO YOU.

Terry: IT'S ALMOST THE END OF

THE

YEAR AND THAT MEANS TIME IS

RUNNING OUT

FOR YOU TO MAKE A CHARITABLE

DONATION

THAT YOU CAN DEDUCT FROM YOUR

TAXES

THIS YEAR. WE WOULD LIKE TO

ENCOURAGE

YOU TO GIVE TO CBN, WHEN YOU

DO, YOUR

GIFT HELPS TO BRING FOOD AND

CLOTHING

AND AID TO PEOPLE AROUND THE

WORLD AND

HELPS TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL.

BECAUSE OF

YOUR TAX DEDUCTION, YOU WILL BE

ABLE TO

SAVE MONEY ON YOUR TAX BILL.

YOU WILL BE BLESSED AND BLESS

THOSE AS

WELL.

CALL NOW, TOLL-FREE PHONE

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE

> CHARLIE MACKESY IS AN

ARTIST WHO

WAS ONCE AN ATHEIST.

TODAY HE'S DESCRIBED AS THE

FINEST

EVANGELIST IN THE U-K AND ALSO

ONE OF

THE MOST UNKNOWN ORTHODOX.

CHARLIE MACKESY HAS BEEN

DESCRIBED

AS A WORLD CLASS ARTIST SELLING

TO THE

LIKES OF WHOOPIE GOLDBERG AND

STING.

WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU HAD

AN

ARTIST ABILITY?

I THINK I NEEDED A REASON TO

DRAW.

HE FOUND THAT NEED IN A PARK.

AN ATHEIST AT THE TIME HE FOUND

THERE

MUST BE MORE TO THIS THAN MEETS

THE EYE.

IT'S THE JOURNEY OF FINDING

THE

REALLY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.

AS I LOOKED AND SAID HOW

BEAUTIFUL IS

THAT PERSON THERE AND I NEVER

NOTICED

THAT BEFORE.

IN THE PRODIGAL SON, MACKESY

CAPTURED THAT HERE IN ONE OF

THE MOST

INFLUENTIAL CHURCHES OF THE

CHURCH OF

ENGLAND.

MACKESY IS A POPULAR SPEAKER

HERE

PARTICULARLY WITH UNBELIEVEERS

CHARLIE IS A DIFFERENT

PICTURE.

YOU DON'T PICTURE CHARLIE

MACKESY.

THE SPIRIT ON THINGS LIKE

THIS.

LIKE WHEN HE REPORTED

HEARING A

GOSPEL SONG FOR THE FIRST TIME

INSIDE A

PORTABLE TOILET THAT WAS SO

FILTHY

WHERE HE STOOD ON THE SEAT TO

AVOID THE

OVERFLOW.

THIS SONG MOVING HIM TO TEARS.

AND HE'S VERY HUMBLE AND

VERY

UNPRETENTIOUS.

HE TELLS STORIES AGAINST

HIMSELF.

I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT

HAPPENED

TO ME, BUT AS I WAS FEELING IT,

MY LEFT

FOOT SLIPPED.

AND I WENT UP TO HERE.

WHILE MACKESY'S STORIES MAY

NOT BE

ONE FOR THOSE WHO ARE

SQUEAMISH,

I THOUGHT IT WAS THOSE

PEOPLE THAT

WOULDN'T BE WELCOME IN CHURCH.

I WOULD COME TO CHURCH AND

WAS

SUPPOSED TO BE NICE AND THAT'S

WHAT YOU

ARE.

IF YOU WANT TO BELONG, BE A

CERTAIN WAY

AND HE SAYS, YOU ARE LOVED AS

YOU ARE.

COVERED IN WHATEVER IT IS

INSIDE OR OUT.

I THINK HE'S THE PRIMEST

EVANGELIST

AT THE MOMENT.

I WOULD RATHER HEAR HIM THAN

ANY OTHER

CHARLIE IN THE U-K.

HE WASN'T JOKING.

THIS ALL COMES AS A SHOCK TO

MACKESY

WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE GIVEN

HIS LIFE

STORY.

WE HAVE KIND OF A RELIGIOUS

THING AT

SCHOOL AND I HATED IT.

I DIDN'T LIKE GOD.

I DIDN'T LIKE HIM.

HOW WOULD YOU HAVE DESCRIBED

OR

DEFINED A CHRISTIAN?

SOMEONE AS INTENSELY GOOD

AND JUDGES

YOU.

AFTER THAT STRANGE YET

PROFOUND

ENCOUNTER WITH OH HAPPY DAY,

MACKESY

IMMERSE HIMSELF IN MUSIC WITH

GOSPEL

MUSIC AND JAZZ.

THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE.

THEY ARE SO FULL OF LIFE.

LOOK AT THE PEOPLE, LOOK AT

WHAT IT

DOES TO THEM.

MACKESY USES MUSIC FOR

PEOPLE TO SEE

GOD.

YOU SAY THE WORDS, GOD LOVES

YOU,

YOU DON'T HAVE A MEANING UNTIL

YOU SEE

THIS.

I REALLY WANTED TO PLAY THE

PIANO.

IT WAS REALLY RUBBISH.

FOR ME TO SAY, I'M WITH YOU, I

LOVE YOU.

WE'LL DO THAT TOGETHER. I WILL

HELP YOU

WITH THIS.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

THIS PAINTING SIMPLY TITLED

"KNOWN".

THERE WAS 1 DAY IT LASTED 11

SECONDS.

IT WAS KIND OF, EVEN THOUGH YOU

ARE

FULLY KNOWN.

WARTS, DARKNESS.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PRETEND TO BE

ANYTHING.

JOHN JESSUP.

CBN, LONDON.

Gordon: WONDERFUL MESSAGE,

YOU DON'T

HAVE TO PRETEND TO BE ANYTHING,

JUST BE

YOURSELF AND BELOVED.

WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY.

Terry: REMARKABLE STORY.

WHAT A GIFTED MAN.

UP AHEAD, A MAN DIAGNOSED WITH

CANCER

SEE'S IT RETURN WITH A

VENGEANCE.

IT WAS IN MY HEAD, MY BACK,

MY

LUNGS, EVERYWHERE AND GROWING.

WATCH AS THE DOCTORS

AS ONLY MIRACLOUS.

Terry: JORDAN LAWHEAD WAS

JUST A

TEENAGER WHEN HE FIRST BEAT

MELANOMA.

HE WAS 23 WHEN THE CANCER

RETURNED FULL

THROTTLE. AT FIRST HE WAS GIVEN

6

MONTHS TO LIVE.

AFTER THAT, DOCTORS DECLARED

THEY WOULD

DIE WITHIN A FEW DAYS.

YOU HEAR THE KNOCK AT THE

DOOR, YOU

HEAR THE DOCTOR KIND OF COMING

IN AND

SITTING DOWN AND YOU CAN TELL

JUST BY

THE LOOK ON HIS FACE THAT THIS

ISN'T

GOING TO BE GOOD.

IT HAD BEEN 6 YEARS SINCE

JORDAN

LAWHEAD HAD SURGERY TO REMOVE

THE

MALIGNANT MELANOMA ON HIS HEAD.

NOW AT

23, HE LEARNED THE CANCER HAD

RETURNED

AND THIS TIME IT'S STAGE 4 AND

SPREAD

TO HIS BRAIN AND BEYOND.

IT WAS IN MY HEAD, MY NEXT,

MY

STOMACH, MY BACK, MY LUNGS,

EVERYWHERE

AND GROWING.

EVEN WITH TREATMENT, DOCTORS

AT

VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY CENTER

GAVE

JORDAN 6 MONTHS TO LIVE.

YOUR HEART IS RACING, YOUR

MIND IS

RACING, I FEEL BROKEN,

COMPLETELY

BROKEN AND DEVASTATED AND JUST

REACHING

FOR WHOEVER YOU CAN AND WHOEVER

YOU CAN

YOU ARE REACHING FOR IS BROKEN

TOO.

WHY HIM, LORD? WHY NOT ME?

I WOULD

RATHER TAKE HIS PLACE AND DEAL

WITH ALL

THE SUFFERING AND THE PAIN AND

AGONY

AND ALL OF THAT RATHER THAN

HAVE HIM GO

THROUGH IT.

DOCTORS IMMEDIATELY STARTED

RADIATION TO SHRINK THE TUMOR

IN

JORDAN'S BRAIN AND REMOVED PART

OF HIS

BOWEL AND APPENDIX.

THEN DOCTORS DISCOVERED A FAST

GROWING

TUMOR ON HIS NECK.

IT WAS AFFECTING HIS

BREATHING AND

WOULD DIE IMMEDIATELY.

DOCTORS CONSIDERED A TUBE

THAT IS

CONSIDERED A BLACK BOX DRUG.

THIS IS UNDER THE

CIRCUMSTANCES

WHERE WE HAVE PROBABLY 2 DAYS

LEFT TO

DO IT OR NOT TO DO IT AT ALL.

IT WAS IN THAT MOMENT I HAD

TO

DECIDE TO BELIEVE THAT GOD HAS

MADE US

AS INDIVIDUALS AND NOT

STATISTICS.

JORDAN AND HIS PARENTS HAD

BEEN

FERVENTLY PRAYING FOR HIS

RECOVERY.

THE WORD SPREAD TO PEOPLE FROM

ALL OVER

THE WORLD.

I HAD SO MANY PEOPLE PRAYING

FOR ME.

I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO HEAR

FROM THEM.

I HAD OLD PEOPLE PRAYING FOR

ME, I HAD

KIDS PRAYING FOR ME, I HAD

STRANGERS

WRITING ME, TELLING ME, TEXTING

ME THAT

THEY WERE PRAYING ASKING GOD TO

INTERVENE.

I PRAYED FOR HOURS AND I

PRAYED FOR

THE LORD TO HAVE MERCY,

EVERYTHING WE

HAD.

ALL EVERY OUNCE OF OUR FAITH

WAS

RELYING THAT THIS BOY WOULD BE

RESCUED.

THE TUMORS BEGAN TO SHRINK

AFTER THE

FIRST SURGERY.

IT WAS SURPRISING TO ME, IT

WAS

SURPRISING TO MY FAMILY AND IT

WAS

SURPRISING TO THE DOCTORS. WHEN

EVERYBODY WAS SURPRISE AND

FEELING

POSITIVE AND EXCITED SLIGHTLY

HOLDING

THEIR BREATH, WE SAID, LET'S

KEEP

GOING, LET'S KEEP FIGHTING.

GIVE ME ANOTHER DOSE OF THAT

HORRIBLE

STUFF BECAUSE IT'S WORKING AND

I'M

GOING FOR IT EVEN IF IT KILLS

ME.

OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL

MONTHS, JORDAN

ENDURED THREE MORE ROUNDS AND

AFTER HE

WAS DIAGNOSED, 3 MONTHS AFTER

HE

RECEIVED A KNOCK AT THE DOOR.

HE SAID IN HIS WORDS, JORDAN

HAS HAD

A CONFIRMED, A COMPLETE

RESPONSE.

THAT HEARTBREAK THAT WE TALKED

ABOUT,

THE PAIN, THE PHYSICAL PAIN WAS

REDEEMED.

IT WAS A CONFIRMED COMPLETE

RESPONSE TO

THE DRUG, TO THE POWER OF GOD

INTERVENING BY ALL THE PEOPLE

PRAYING.

IT'S BEEN 8 YEARS SINCE

JORDAN WAS

GIVEN 6 MONTHS TO LIVE.

WITH ONLY 2% RECOVERY RATE FOR

THESE

CONDITIONS, THE DOCTORS SAID

JORDAN

BEAT THE ODDS.

HE'S A 21-YEAR-OLD MAN WITH

NO

CANCER IN HIS BRAIN OR BODY.

TODAY JORDAN IS A MUSICIAN

INSPIRED

A WEBSITE TO INSPIRE MANY.

HE TAUGHT ME TO SEE HIM AS

HE IS AND

AS I AM AND THAT I NEED TO BE

JOYFULLY

DEPENDENT ON HIS MERCY AT ALL

TIMES.

AND I'M NOT IN CONTROL.

THAT HE IS, AND THAT WHEN I PUT

MY

TRUST IN HIM, WITH EVERY PART

OF MY

LIFE, WHETHER IT'S MY HEALTH,

MY JOY

AND CAREER AND PLANS AND MONEY

AND ALL

OF THAT, THAT I CAN BE JOYFULLY

DEPENDENT ON HIM BECAUSE HE IS

MERCIFUL

AND I HAVE THE SCARS TO PROVE

IT.

Terry: THAT STORY CLEARLY

OUTLINES

THAT IT'S NOT AN EASY THING TO

BE

RECOGNIZED THAT YOU ARE TOTALLY

DEPENDENT ON HIM, BUT THAT

SCENARIO

BROUGHT HIM TO A PLACE WHERE

YOU CAN DO

THAT JOYFULLY TRUSTING THE

MERCY AND

THE GRACE AND THE LOVE OF GOD

FOR ALL

THINGS.

WE WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU NOW. WE

KNOW

THERE ARE SOME OF YOU FACING

SOME

PRETTY DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES.

YOU HAVE ONE, GORDON.

Gordon: I HAVE ONE FROM BOB.

TERRY GAVE A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE

TO

SOMEONE WITH HEARING DISEASE

AND

HEARING LOSS AND VERTIGO AND

THERE IS

NO KNOWN CURE. I HAVE HAD

SEVERAL FLARE

UPS THIS YEAR AND TAKEN A FEW

WEEKS OFF

OF WORK BECAUSE OF THIS.

THANKS TO TERRY, THIS IS

RESOLVED.

Terry: HERE IS FROM GLORIA.

ON APRIL 4TH, SHE WAS WATCHING

THIS

PROGRAM FROM NIGERIA.

GORDON, YOU GAVE THIS RESULT.

SHE SAYS I HAVE HAD BACK PAIN

AND THE

PAIN HAS NOT RETURNED.

THANK GOD FOR THAT.

Gordon: LET'S THANK GOD AND

LET'S

PRAY AND SAY THIS IS THE DAY

THE LORD

HAS MADE. IF YOU ARE IN PAIN,

DON'T

REJOICE OVER THE SICKNESS.

GOD DOESN'T ASK YOU TO DO THAT.

REJOICE ABOUT WHAT HE'S ABOUT

TO DO,

REJOICE THAT HE STANDS BEHIND

HIS WORD

TO PERFORM IT.

REJOICE THAT HE'S GIVEN YOU

LIFE AND

BREATH. HE'S GIVEN YOU

UNBELIEVABLE

GIFTS FROM HEAVEN.

REJOICE FROM THAT AND JUST

WATCH HIM

WORK AND WATCH THAT HE WANTS TO

KNOW

YOU INTIMATELY, AND HE HASN'T

CREATED

THINGS SO HE'LL ABANDON YOU.

THAT'S NOT

GOD.

GOD WANTS TO BE WITH YOU AND BE

YOUR

ALL IN ALL . SO, WE ARE GOING

TO CLAIM

A WONDERFUL VERSE. WHEN TWO OR

MORE

AGREE TOUCHING ANYTHING, IT

SHALL BE

DONE FOR THEM BY MY FATHER IN

HEAVEN.

THESE ARE THE WORDS OF JESUS.

AND YOU CAN TRUST HIM.

NOW, WHY DOES GOD DO THIS? SO

THAT THE

SON WILL BE GLORIFIED.

ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL? IT'S NOT

BASED

ON HOW MUCH YOU PRAY OR FAST OR

WHAT

RESOLUTIONS YOU MAKE OR THAT

YOU

BARGAIN WITH GOD.

NO.

IT'S JUST SO YOU REJOICE IN

THAT.

LET'S PRAY, LET'S BELIEVE AND

LET GOD

DO WHAT GOD HAS PROMISED TO DO.

LET'S PRAY.

LORD, WE JUST COME TOGETHER IN

AGREEMENT RIGHT NOW AND WE

AGREE

TOUCHING, THESE ILLNESSES, THIS

PAIN,

THESE SICKNESSES NOW, AND AS

PEOPLE

THAT REACH OUT TO THE AREAS OF

THE BODY

THAT NEED HEALING, WE JOIN WITH

THEM

AND TOGETHER WE SAY OUT LOUD TO

IT, BE

HEALED NOW AND BE EVERY BIT

WHOLE IN

THE NAME OF JESUS, RECEIVE YOUR

MIRACLE

NOW FOR WE ASK IT IN JESUS'

NAME.

FATHER, SOMEONE NAMED ANDY.

YOU HAVE A TUMOR IN THE UPPER

RIGHT

HAND PORTION OF YOUR BRAIN, AND

IT'S

SWELLING AND YOU'VE GOT SEVERE

PAIN.

RIGHT NOW, GOD IS TOUCHING THAT

AND

JUST FELT SOMETHING LIKE OIL

JUST

TINGELING OIL FLOWING

OVER-THE-TOP OF

YOUR HEAD ALL THE WAY INTO YOUR

BODY.

THAT TUMOR IS SHRINKING NOW IN

THE IN

THE NAME OF JESUS.

GOD IS HEALING YOU.

NOW REJOICE OVER WHAT GOD HAS

DONE FOR

YOU.

Terry: SOMEONE NAMED ANGIE.

BUT THERE ARE MANY OF YOU WHO

ARE UNDER

THIS CLOUD OF DARKNESS. IT'S SO

DARK

FOR YOU THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN

COME TO A

PLACE OF SAFE AND TRUSTING

AGAIN.

RIGHT NOW IN JESUS NAME,

RECEIVE THE

JOY OF THE LORD AND THE JOY OF

SALVATION. LIFT YOUR HANDS UP

AND BEGIN

TO PRAISE HIM. IT'S GONE, IN

JESUS'

NAME.

Gordon: I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S

A GROWTH

OR AN INFECTION BUT IS SWOLLEN

AND

WRAPPED AROUND YOUR EAR.

GOD IS HEALING THAT NOW IN

JESUS'

NAME, AMEN. IT'S ALL BEEN TAKEN

CARE OF.

YOUR EAR IS NOW OPEN.

IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. IT'S

BEING

RESTORED.

SOMEONE HAS A VERTEBRAE IN YOUR

SPINE

AND IT'S LOSING CALCIUM AND

LOSING

CUSHIONING.

GOD IS ABLE TO RESTORE.

HE'S ABLE TO RESTORE.

HE'S RESTORING BONE TO YOU

RIGHT NOW.

HE'S RESTORING CARTILAGE TO YOU.

HE'S RESTORING ALL THE THINGS

THAT YOU

NEED TO BE PAIN FREE IN JESUS'

NAME,

AMEN. HE COULDN'T DO WHAT HE'S

DONE

BEFORE.

DO IT NOW.

SEE WHAT GOD IS DOING FOR YOU.

HE'S RELEASING IT NOW.

SOMEONE WITH A SHOULDER

PROBLEM.

IT'S DEEP IN THE SOCKET.

THAT RELEASE AND PAIN IS GONE

NOW IN

JESUS' NAME, AMEN.

Terry: SOMEONE THAT HAS LIKE

A SNAKE

WRAPPED AROUND.

THAT IS BEING RELEASED NOW.

GOD IS HEALING YOU NOW.

Gordon: THANK YOU, LORD FOR

ALL YOU

HAVE DONE AND WE RECEIVE IT NOW.

IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. AND AMEN.

TERRORISM RAISED ITS UGLY HEAD

ISIS SYMPATHIZER.

THE FORMER MARINE WAS PLANNING

AN

ATTACK WITH GUNS.

CHRISTMAS WAS CELEBRATED FOR

THE

FIRST TIME SINCE IT WAS TAKEN

OVER BY

ISIS YEARS AGO.

IT WAS AT ST. PAUL CHURCH.

THEY CALLED ON MUSLIMS TO

CHANGE THEIR

WAY OF THINKING IN THEIR FAITH.

REMEMBER, YOU CAN ALWAYS GET

Terry: IN A REMOTE VILLAGE IN

CHINA,

AND ELDERLY WIDOW AND A LONELY

BOY HAVE

TRANSFORMED A STRONG BOND EVEN

THOUGH

THEY WERE NOT RELATED AND THEY

WERE

AFFECTED BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF

CLEAN

WATER.

WHEN MAMA JIKE'S HUSBAND

DIED, SHE

REACHED OUT TO OTHERS LIKE

MAMMO.

MAMA COOKED AND CLEANED AND

SHE HAD

A GOOD HEART.

HE'S GIVEN ME A PURPOSE IN

MY OLDER

YEARS.

EVERYDAY MAMA JIKE'S WALKED

TO GET

WATER.

IT WASN'T CLEAN.

IT WAS THE BEST SOURCE OF WATER

WE HAD.

THE NEXT DAY SHE TRIED TO

FETCH

WATER AND SHE SLIPPED.

I COULD BARELY BREATHE.

I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE.

MAMMO FOUND HER.

I RAN BACK TO THE VILLAGE

AND

STARTED TO CRY AND THOUGHT I

MIGHT LOSE

HER FOREVER.

MAMA JIKE'S WAS IN BED FOR 2

MONTHS.

DURING THAT TIME, HE TOOK CARE

OF HER.

I WANTED TO GIVE UP BUT I

REMEMBER

HOW MUCH SHE CARED FOR ME.

I WANTED TO REPAY HER WITH WHAT

SHE HAD

DONE FOR ME.

BUT THE WATER WAS STILL

FILTHY.

WE FOUND OUT AND SET UP WATER

IN MAMA

JIKE'S VILLAGE.

WE SET UP PIPES AND NOW THERE

IS WATER

IN MAMA JIKE'S VILLAGE.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS OPEN

THE TAP

AND NOW WE HAVE WATER AND IT'S

SO CLEAN.

NOW MAMA JIKE'S WILL NOT

HAVE TO

WALK TO FETCH WATER AGAIN.

THANKS TO CBN.

YOU BROUGHT ME TO HEALTH AND

HOPE.

THANK YOU FOR GOD'S LOVE.

THANK YOU, CBN PARTNERS, YOU

ARE

MAKING MIRACLES HAPPEN FOR

THESE PEOPLE

IN THIS VILLAGE.

I LOVE WHAT SHE SAID, ALL HAVE

TO DO IS

TURN THE TAP FOR CLEAN WATER.

Gordon: UP NEXT, HE WAS A

SINGER IN A

ROCK 'N ROLL BAND UNTIL CRACK

COCAINE

CONSUMED HIS LIFE.

ALL I WANTED WAS THE MONEY

TO USE

THIS AND IT WAS HELL ON EARTH.

SEE HOW HIS LIFE IS

TRANSFORMED JUST

WRIST.

Gordon: DAVID FRAZIER THRIVED

ON

SINGING WITH HIS BAND OUTSPOKEN

LIKE A

DRUG. THEN ONE NIGHT DAVID TRY

THE

CRACK COCAINE.

THEN SUDDENLY PERFORMING ON

STAGE PALED

IN COMPARISON.

THERE WAS 15,000 PEOPLE OUT

THERE

AND THEN THEY TURNED THE LIGHTS

OFF AND

YOU HEAR THE ROAR, AND YOU WALK

OUT ON

THAT STAGE.

THAT, RIGHT THERE, WAS JUST THE

BE ALL

AND END ALL.

IT WAS EVERYTHING.

WITH A LABEL AND LUCRATIVE

DEAL,

DAVID WAS ON THE PATH TO ROCK

STARDOM

AND THEN THIS WOULD LEAD

ATTEMPTING

SUICIDE.

AS A CHILD HE WAS MOLESTED AS A

BOY.

IT WAS SOMETHING INSIDE AND

THE TYPE

OF GUILT I COULDN'T PUT INTO

WORDS.

AT THE SAME TIME, IT HAD

AWAKENED

FEELINGS HE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND.

I WOULD COME TO THE OCEAN

AND IT WAS

AWFUL.

HE BECAME BITTER TOWARDS GOD.

WHY DO I FEEL SO ANGRY, WHY

DO I

FEEL SO AFRAID AND WHY DOES IT

FEEL

LIKE I'M BEING CRUSHED UNDER

THE WEIGHT

OF GUILT.

IN HIGH SCHOOL HE USED POT

TO MASK

HIS SHAME AND HE USED MUSIC TO

MAKE

SURE NO ONE KNEW HIS PAIN.

I WAS GOING TO DO THIS TO

SHOW THAT

I HAD IT ALTOGETHER ON THE

OUTSIDE.

THEN HE WENT TO THE MARINES

AND THEN

HE FORMED A GROUP OUTSPOKEN.

THAT WAS THE NEW DRUG.

I WAS BEING WORSHIPPED. I KNEW

WHEN

THEY SAW ME THEY WOULD BE

CHASING ME

THROUGH THE HALL WAYS AND I

LOVED THAT.

BEING A ROCK STAR THAT

FUELED THE

DRUGS.

WHEN I WOULD COME OFF THE

ROAD, NO

ONE WAS THERE, NO PRAISE.

I WOULD SIT THERE IN THE MIDDLE

OF MY

APARTMENT IN PURE DEPRESSION

AND HEY, I

HAVE GOT A GOOD IDEA.

LET'S GET SOME DRUGS. THAT WILL

MAKE ME

FEEL GOOD.

EVENTUALLY DAVID TRIES CRACK

COCAINE.

IT GAVE HIM A HIGH HE NEVER

EXPERIENCED.

ALL I WAS LOOKING FOR WAS

THAT CHUNK

OF MONEY TO PUT IN THE DEALERS

HANDS.

HE STARTED MISSING

REHEARSALS AND

EVENTUALLY KICKED OUT OF THE

BAND AND

THEN HE WOULD SPEND HIM TIME IN

CRACK

HOUSES.

I WANTED TO STAY THERE

BECAUSE IT

WAS TOO PAINFUL.

SOON HE TRIED TO GO TO

CHURCH BUT HE

COULDN'T ESCAPE THE ADDICTION

AND THE

MAN HE HAD BECOME. HE HATED THE

SHELL

HE HAD BECOME.

THERE IS NO PURPOSE, NO

MEANING,

WHAT AM I DOING?

ONE DAY WHEN HE WENT TO

SCORE DRUGS,

DAVID WAS MUGGED.

I WAS THERE, THEY SLASHED MY

TIRES

AND I WAS STUCK WITH NO MONEY.

I WAS SO OUT OF MY MIND I

COULDN'T EVEN

FUNCTION.

DAVID LOST ALL HOPE AND

SCRAPING

SOME CHANGE HE BOUGHT A BOTTLE

OF BEER

AND AFTER HE DRUNK IT, HE BROKE

TO

BOTTLE INTENDING TO END HIS

LIFE.

WHILE I HELD THE BOTTLE TO

MY WRIST,

I HEARD THE LORD SPEAKING TO ME.

HE SAID, GET OUT AND CALL YOUR

MOM

RIGHT NOW.

IT CAME OVER ME LIKE I HAD NO

CHOICE.

IT WAS LIKE I WAS BEING MOVED.

DAVID FELT AT LAST THERE WAS

PEACE.

THERE IS HOPE AND I KNEW

WHAT THE

HOPE WAS.

IT'S JESUS.

SHORTLY AFTER HIS BROTHER

PICKED HIM

UP AND THE NEXT DAY, THE FAMILY

GOT HIM

TO A REHAB FACILITY.

HE SAYS HIS DESIRE FOR DRUGS

WENT AWAY

IMMEDIATELY BUT HE STILL HAD TO

FACE

THE TRUTH.

EVENTUALLY I JUST BROKE

BECAUSE IT

WAS DIFFICULT TO FACE THE

PROBLEM.

IT WAS NOT THE DRUGS, WHICH WAS

NOT THE

PORNOGRAPHY, IT WAS NOT EVEN

THE MUSIC,

IT WAS ME.

I WAS THE PROBLEM.

DAVID GAVE HIS LIFE AND

DEVOTION TO

GOD.

I UNDERSTOOD THAT JESUS WAS

GOD AND

THAT HE DIED FOR ME.

AND I UNDERSTOOD THAT HE WASN'T

JUST

ENOUGH, HE WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH.

IN ALL OF THAT MADNESS, HE

PURSUED ME.

HE DIDN'T LET ME GO.

I SAID, I CAN WORSHIP A GOD

LIKE THAT

AND I UNDERSTOOD THE GOD I

THOUGHT HE

WAS IS NOT THE GOD HE REALLY IS.

DAVID ADMITTED THAT IT WAS

HARD, BUT

WITH GOD'S FORGIVENESS, HE

MOVED AWAY

FROM PORNOGRAPHY AND NOW

COUNSELS

PEOPLE WITH ADDICTION.

HE WAS THERE THE WHOLE TIME

AND HE

PURSUED ME THE WHOLE WAY

THROUGH.

Gordon: AND HE'S PURSUING YOU.

IF YOU ARE WATCHING THIS RIGHT

NOW

MAYBE YOU ARE LIVING DAVID'S

STORY, OR

MAYBE YOU ARE LIVING AND

DIFFERENT ONE

BUT YOU CREATED IT AND YOU ARE

ASKING

WHO ARE YOU AND ASKING THE SAME

QUESTION THAT DAVID ASKED:

WHAT'S MY

PURPOSE? WHAT AM I DOING? WHY

CAN'T I

STOP THIS? WHY CAN'T I JUST

LEAVE IT

AND WHY CAN'T I BECOME WHAT I

WANT TO

BE?

DAVID'S REVELATION, HE WAS THE

PROBLEM.

PORNOGRAPHY WASN'T THE PROBLEM,

CRACK

COCAINE WASN'T THE PROBLEM.

HE WAS THE PROBLEM.

THOSE WERE JUST SYMPTOMS OF THE

DEEP

UNDERLYING PROBLEM THAT HE

DIDN'T LIKE

HIMSELF.

HE DIDN'T LIKE WITH -- WHAT HE

HAD

BECOME.

HE DIDN'T LIKE ANY OF THAT.

WHAT HE FOUND WAS THE SAVIOR.

HE WAS ABLE TO CHANGE ALL THAT

AND

CHANGE DAVID FROM HIS INNERMOST

BEING

AND MAKE HIM NEW AGAIN JUST AS

IF HE

HAD NEVER DONE ANY OF THOSE

THINGS OR

ANY OF THOSE THINGS HAD EVER

HAPPENED

TO HIM.

GOD IS LITERALLY ABLE TO

RECREATE YOU.

BREATHE ON YOU AGAIN AND GIVE

YOU A NEW

SOUL, A NEW SPIRIT, A NEW

HEART, A NEW

LIFE.

HOW DO YOU GET IT? LIKE DAVID

DID, YOU

REACH THE END OF YOURSELF AND

GOD

SPEAKS TO YOU AND SAYS HERE I

AM. NOW,

HOW DO YOU GET TO THAT POINT?

YOU ASK

FOR IT. IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLE.

IT'S A VERY SIMPLE PRAYER.

IF YOU WANT THIS, IF YOU WANT A

NEW

LIFE, A NEW BEGINNING, BOW YOUR

HEAD

WITH ME AND SAY THIS SIMPLE

PRAYER.

BOW YOUR HEAD AND SAY, JESUS,

THAT'S

IT, SAY IT OUT LOUD.

I WANT TO CHANGE, AND I HEAR

THAT YOU

CAN DO THAT, I HEAR THAT YOU

CAN

RECREATE ME, THAT YOU CAN

FORGIVE ME

AND MAKE ME NEW.

SO, JESUS, FORGIVE ME, CLEANSE

ME. COME

INTO MY HEART.

AND IF YOU DO THIS FOR ME, I

WANT TO

FOLLOW YOU ALL THE DAYS OF MY

LIFE.

HEAR MY PRAYER FOR I PRAY IT IN

JESUS'

NAME, AMEN.

FATHER, FOR THOSE WHO PRAYED, I

ASK FOR

A BAPTISM IN YOUR LOVE AND THAT

YOU

SURROUND THEM WITH YOUR

PRESENCE AND

POWER AND LET THEM KNOW THAT

YOU HAVE

DELIVERED THEM AND SET FREE

TODAY.

DO IT, LORD, FOR WE ASK IT IN

JESUS'

NAME, AMEN.

THING I WANT YOU TO DO.

"700 CLUB" RIGHT AFTER THIS.

Terry: WE WANT TO BRING IT ON

WITH

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT CAME

IN FROM

JOHN.

HE ASKS, WE OFTEN HEAR TO FEAR

THE

DEVIL, BUT SHOULD WE FEAR GOD

AND IS

THAT THE SAME?

Gordon: JOHN, IT MEANS TO

HAVE AWE

AND REVERENCE FOR HIM AND

UNDERSTAND

THAT HE IS THE RULER OF THE

UNIVERSE.

THAT IN HIS HANDS IS COMPLETE

AND TOTAL

POWER.

BUT WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT,

THERE IS AN

AWESOMENESS TO THAT AND IT SORT

OF

BRINGS YOU UP SHORT IS THE

ENGLISH

PHRASE. WE SAY, OKAY, I BETTER

STAND AT

ATTENTION HERE. YOU KNOW, YOU

ARE NOT

CASUAL WITH THIS.

YOU DON'T TAKE IT CASUALLY.

YOU TAKE IT VERY VERY SERIOUSLY.

AND THAT'S WHAT THAT WORD MEANS.

SO, WHEN YOU SEE THAT, THE FEAR

OF THE

LORD IN YOUR OWN MIND JUST

TRANSLATE

IT, THE AWE OF THE LORD AND HOW

AWESOME

HE IS.

IT NOT THE FEAR, THE IRRATIONAL

FEAR

THAT THE DEVIL PUTS IN US.

IT'S THE AWESOME OF GOD AND THE

RESPECT

COMES NATURALLY FROM THAT.

WE LEAVE YOU WITH THESE WORDS.

"I HAVE PLACED YOU AS A LIGHT

"I HAVE PLACED YOU AS A LIGHT

FOR THE

GENTILES, THAT YOU MAY BRING

SALVATION

TO THE END OF THE EARTH" (ACTS

13:47,

NASB). GOD BLESS YOU.

WE'LL SEE YOU THEN.
