- [Narrator] The followingprogram is sponsored by CBN.

Coming up.

- [Man] I would wakeup and be deadly tired.

- [Narrator] For three yearshis body was failing on him.

- I'm like forget it, just let me die.

- [Narrator] And then came the diagnosis.

- That really hurt.

- [Narrator] ALS.

- Oh my gosh.

It's gonna get worse than it already is.

- [Narrator] How he stareddown a death sentence.

- It was around that timethat my fingers were starting

to crump up.

- [Narrator] And walked away healed.

- That's the moment I knew Jesus was real.

- [Narrator] On today's 700 Club.

(upbeat music)

- Well, welcome folks to thisaddition of the 700 Club.

It's an exciting day.

First of all there's a deadlyfungus sweeping the earth

and they're not quite sure what to do

and how to cure it.

But that's one of the thingsthat you gotta consider.

There's a vicious stormbrewing in the middle part

of the nation.

Blizzard conditionseven though it's spring

and it looks like it's spreading east.

And Hasidic Jews in Brooklynmay well subject to fine

that they don't getinoculated against measles.

The measles outbreak inthat part of the country.

But more importantly we go out to Israel

and our friend Bibipulled it off a big one,

he got four more seats itlooks like than he had before.

His Likud party is forming a coalition

and it will be historicbecause as far as I understand

there's nobody in history evenas far as David Ben-Gurion

who is been in office aslong as our friend Bibi.

So, our congratulations to a good friend

and a strong statesman incharge of that country.

We could congratulate the voters in Israel

for that wisdom.

Well John Waage's gonna explain the winner

has to build a government coalition

and heal the scars froma very rough campaign.

- When the voting stopped Tuesday night,

Benny Gantz supporters preparedfor an upset in the making.

(crowd cheering)

Their brand new party hada narrow lead in the polls.

And in the prime minister's camp,

it was so quiet, the media far outnumbered

the prime minister's Likud faithful.

(crowd cheering)

But that had all changed bythe wee hours of the morning.

Although the first exit pollsshowed a virtual dead heat

between the pro-Bibi rightand the anti-Bibi left,

as the night wore on, theprime minister supporters

grew more hopeful that Bibi would be able

to form the next government

and become the longest servingleader in Israel's history.

Even after 97% of the voteswere counted Wednesday,

less than a percentagepoint separated Likud

from the Blue and White party.

Some have speculatedthat a unity government

between Netanyahu and Gantzwould help the country heal

from a bitter electionand respond to threats

from Iran and Hamas.

- The coalition it's not clearyet because we need to see

who are the parties that are in the game.

So, two days from now we'll besmarter about the coalition.

The one thing we know about and for sure,

Netanyahu is the next prime minister.

(speaks foreign language)

- [Translator] I intend towork quickly to establish

a stable government.

I wanna make it clear, it willbe a right-wing government,

but I intend to be the prime minister

of all Israeli citizens, right or left,

Jews or non-Jews alike.

All Israeli citizens.

- [John] Netanyahu is alreadyphoned many probable partners

in his latest coalition,

almost certainly agovernment of the right.

John Waage, CBN News, Tel Aviv.

- Well our CBN Middle EastBureau Chief, Chris Mitchell,

joining us now from Jerusalem.

Chris, what were the main factors

that brought in Bibi's victory?

- Well Pat, some of the main factors,

first of all I think you have to say

that the anti-Bibi campaign

by the Blue and White didn't work.

Just saying anybody butBibi is not something

you wanna govern with, theirpolicies were kinda vague,

and one poster called itsort of a fantasy candidate.

I think that's one thing.

I don't think you canunderestimate the impact

of the Trump administration.

Just a few days ago,

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

was in the White House.

President Trump signed a declaration

recognizing Israeli sovereigntyover the Golan Heights.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

was here just a few weeks ago.

We sat down with him about that.

So I think that's one other factor.

And the third factorPat, I think you'd say,

is Netanyahu the politician.

You could say it in a Yiddish kind of way.

It was a gevalt strategy,oy vey, about four days ago

he was saying the sky's falling,you gotta go to the polls,

if you don't, Blue and White's gonna win.

That was one thing.

And one political consultanttold me last night,

the final four just ended a few days ago,

you want the best player tohave the ball in the hands

at the end of the game,

and I think Netanyahu pulled out one

of the biggest politicalgames of his life last night.

- Chris, what about thiswhole business of these,

they call 'em settlements.

But you and I have been in cities

that are just thriving,wonderful, vibrant cities.

They're not littlesettlements out in the desert.

And what he's saying ishe's gonna go in and make

each one of those places part of Israel.

They'll be Israeli citizens.

Could you expand on thata little bit for us?

- Well I think that's exactlywhat he's gonna do Pat.

He announced just a few days,just maybe three or four days

before the election,

that he will say that allof the Jewish communities,

including the larger, quoteunquote, settlement blocks

in the smaller communities,

will be under Israeli sovereignty.

So, in any future negotiations

with the Palestinian authority,

that will basically be off the table.

And I think that was oneof the factors I think

that swung some of the voters,

certainly on the right, towards Netanyahu.

But that's gonna be one of the big things

looking forward to Pat,

now that Netanyahu's gonna beable to form his government,

presumably in a few weeks,

to see how he followsthrough on that promise.

It's really historic to seethat he was gonna be able

to do that, to recognizeIsraeli sovereignty

over these Jewish communitiesin the biblical lands

of Judea and Samaria.

- Chris, you know as I look at it,

and I've been there so many times,

and you live there,

there is no way that they'regoing to have two states.

The Palestinians justaren't partners for peace.

Hamas is so powerful inthe Palestinian authority,

and they call for thedestruction of Israel.

How can they ever get together?

I mean that two-statesolution, in my opinion,

isn't gonna work.

Am I correct in that?

- I think so Pat.

In fact, some peoplethought when Netanyahu said

that there was gonnabe Israeli sovereignty

over these Jewish communitiesin Judea and Samaria,

also known as the West Bank,

that the two the two-statesolution was dead.

I think it's been deadfor a long time, Pat.

When you recognize notonly what Hamas says,

and they say it quite openly,

they want the destructionof Israel, the Jewish state.

But if you look at some of the comments

and especially in Arabic by Mahmoud Abbas,

the president of thePalestinian authority,

or many other Palestinianauthority leaders,

really, in many ways, theywant a one-state solution too.

They really wanna take overthe Jewish state in many ways.

And so I think that makesa two-state solution

very, very unlikely.

- Indictments, is there a possibility

that he's going to have parliament

pass a law giving immunityto the prime minister?

- Well there was a possibilityof that a little while ago

and I think Netanyahu actually backed away

from that particularly legislation.

But I think that's one cloud

hanging over Netanyahu right now.

For months, the prosecutor hassorta been on the offensive

making accusationsabout what Netanyahu did

in these three cases thathe's been intended to indict

and that's a good point to make Pat.

The attorney general saidhe intends to indict him

on three separate charges,

two for breach of trust, one for bribery.

But now Netanyahu legallyhas the opportunity

to go on the offensive.

So, he will have months, asmany up to a year perhaps

of more, to defend his case right now.

And we'll see what happens.

But that's one of the otherbig things to be looking for

after this election.

- Well, I thought the so calledcrimes that he had committed

are just absurd.

I mean he got favorable publicity

from one of the publications,

one of the broadcast networks.

I mean this is nonsense.

To indict a man on somethinglike that is just spurious.

Is that just my opinion?

Don't say so if youdisagree with me (laughs).

Go ahead.- No, I don't think

it's just your opinion.

I think Alan Dershowitzactually made a case

just before the attorney generalcame out with his decision.

Alan Dershowitz says you canindict a lot of politicians

if they try to get good favorable coverage

through the media.

And so I think that's inessence some people think

that's what Netanyahu's being accused of

and it's the opinion, not only of you Pat,

but I would believe AlanDershowitz and other legal experts.

- Last question.

Who's gonna be out of the coalition?

Who's gonna be in it?

- Well right now obviouslyLikud is the big one.

We have three religiousparties, they're gonna be part

of that as well and thenKulanu, which is another party,

up to 65 seats it looks like right now.

President Reuven Rivlin,really the power shifts

to him right now.

Next week he's gonna have consultations

with all of the political parties

and decide who's gonna be the one

to form the next coalition.

Right now the numbers say obviously

it's gonna be Netanyahu looking forward.

The other big thing we're gonnahave to look forward to Pat

is the unveiling ofPresident Trump's peace plan,

the so-called Deal of the Century,

the administration saidit was gonna happen

after the elections.

So that's one a the nextbig things we're gonna have

to look forward to.

- All right, well thanksagain for your insights.

Chris Mitchell, our man in Jerusalem

who has been coveringwith tremendous skill.

Well in other news, theAttorney General, William Barr,

faced a grilling over hishandling of the Mueller report.

John Jessup has more on that.

- Thanks Pat.

The attorney general toldlawmakers he's on track

to release a redacted version

of the nearly 400 pageMueller report next week.

He faced the HouseAppropriations Committee

over the Justice Department budget,

but the topic soon turned to his handling

of the Mueller probe.

Some Democrats accused him

of soft pedaling the reports conclusions

in his four-page summary andignoring summaries written

by the Special Counsel's team.

Barr defended his decision notto release those documents.

- I think any summary,regardless of who prepares it,

not only runs the risk

of being underinclusive or overinclusive,

but also would trigger a lot of discussion

and analysis that really should await

everything coming out at once.

- Barr also said he'soverseeing an investigation

into whether the FBI abused its authority

in getting wiretaps on Trump aides.

He testifies before aSenate subcommittee today.

Pat, back to you.

- I think that's the bigstory is who at the FBI

was trying to gun forTrump and destroy him

before he even got elected.

There's a plot going onin all those FISA warrants

that were gotten and the various wiretaps

and the report that was supposed to be

from a British secret source or spy.

This whole thing is ridiculousand I think it's time

for an investigation andBarr is basically saying

that's going to happen.

But in terms of grand jury testimony,

and incidental material thatis gained by FBI agents,

that should never be made public.

Everybody believes thatshould never be made public

and it was the chairman ofone of the House committees

before this whole thing came up

that he himself went on the record to say,

we cannot publish all thatstuff because it is unverified

and it's defamatory.

Well it's the same thing here.

It shouldn't be done and theDemocrats demanding for it,

they're not helping themselves,they're hurting themselves.

John.

- Pat, there's a new pushfor an old pro-life measure

on Capitol Hill.

Lawmakers are bringing backthe fight to ban abortions

after five months of pregnancy.

Their argument, babiesbeing aborted feel pain.

Capitol Hill CorrespondentAbigail Robertson explains.

- Only seven countries currentlyallow elective abortions

after five months of pregnancy.

Including North Korea, China, and Vietnam.

The United States ispart of that small group

and Senator Lindsey Grahamhopes to change that

through the Pain CapableUnborn Child Protection Act.

- I think most people,

once they know aboutwhat we're talking about,

that we'll gain momentumand this'll become law.

- [Abigail] The bill wouldrestrict abortions on demand

after five months of pregnancy.

Because of mounting evidenceproving babies in the womb

feel pain at that stage.

- Would ask the opponents of this bill

to dispute the fact thatanesthesia is provided routinely

to a child who is in thefifth month of the pregnancy

to protect the child from the pain

that would occur to saveit's life through surgery.

- [Abigail] DemocratSenator Richard Blumenthal

disputes the research

and tells CBN News hebelieves the bill is a hoax.

- Well the bill as a wholeis unsupported by science.

It has no foundation in fact

and it violates the constitution.

- There's so much that women aren't told.

- [Abigail] According toa Marist Poll last month,

66% of all voters want this law passed.

- The tide is turning in America.

And Americans are becomingmore and more pro-life.

- [Abigail] She testified alongside

abortion survivor, Melissa Ohden.

- The extreme abortionlegislation is worrisome.

It's painful.

- [Abigail] Some Democrats onthe Senate Judiciary Committee

who are running for president,skipped the hearing.

- It was really tellingthat they don't want

to go on the record and maybebe seen as being so extreme

that they would opposethis common sense law.

Common sense bill that themajority of Americans agree on.

Even pro-choice Americans.

- Senator Graham says heknows getting the votes

in the House and Senatewill be tough right now,

but he's committed to fightfor this over the long haul.

Reporting from Capitol Hill,Abigail Robertson, CBN News.

- Thanks Abigail.

A spike in cases of measleshas New York City declaring

a public health emergency.

Officials there are requiringchildren be vaccinated

and will fine parents upto $1,000 if they're not.

The problem is growing

in other parts of the country as well.

465 cases across 19 states.

In some states, unvaccinatedstudents are being told

to stay home.

Well a mysterious fungusthat's hard to detect

is now labeled an urgent threat

by the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention.

Candida auris hit severalcountries around the world

over the last five years.

Recently it's turned upin New York, New Jersey,

Connecticut, and Illinois.

It's often multidrugresistant according to the CDC

and is called a mystery becauseit's difficult to identify

with standard lab tests.

It's also caused outbreaksin healthcare facilities.

Well it might be spring,

but Old Man Winter didn't get the memo.

States from the Rockies to the Great Lakes

are under a blizzard warning today.

Forecasters predictingsix to 18 inches of snow

and winds up to 65 milesan hour in Colorado,

a major swing going from 80 degree weather

to whiteout conditions.

The storm is expected tomove into the Northeast

turning into heavy rainPat and thunderstorms.

- It won't let go does it?

But those poor people in the Midwest,

in Nebraska for example,

the farmers are sufferingincredible flooding

and now this so-called bomb cyclone,

if that isn't it, it's close to it,

with blizzard conditions and50, 60 mile an hour wind,

and blinding snow.

It means that traffic will be impossible,

that the roads will be impassable,

the airplanes will be grounded.

I mean it's just incredible.

I mean here we are inVirginia, and it's balmy

and in the 70s.

- I was flying in last night

from Indiana.- Yeah.

- and you don't think,okay, in middle-April

you're gonna haveproblems with the weather.

We had to hover over Atlanta,the pilot came on twice said,

we're gonna have to go toland in Chattanooga and refuel

because there's 30 planeshovering over Atlanta

because of thunderstorms.

But you get these big storms- Yeah.

- and now all this crazyweather that's happening

out in the Midwest.

- Course there tornadoes andall kinds of things going

on in the South.

Down in Alabama very strong winds.

It's just incredible weather we got.

- The good news is we did nothave to go to Chattanooga.

We finally got permission(Pat laughing)

to land and I made it.

I made it home last night.

Praise the Lord.- Glad you're here.

- Well coming up, the war on your brain.

(upbeat music)

- We're in a war in our society.

ISIS has nothing on our food industry.

The real weapons of mass destruction

are highly processed, pesticidesprayed, high glycemic,

low fiber, food-like substances,

stored in plastic containers.

- [Wendy] How to fightdepression and other assaults

on your brain with food.

Really interesting stuff coming up next.

(upbeat music)

- Americans should be thehappiest people on earth.

We've got more prosperity,we've got more opportunity,

we've got more of everything

and it's a beautiful environment,

we've have clean, freshwater, we have plenty of food.

We've got all kinds ofjobs available to us

and yet one out ofevery 10 Americans says,

I'm suffering from depression.

And experts suspect millionsmore suffer from it in silence.

As Lorie Johnson reports,a number of steps

can help people break free and some

of these steps might surprise you.

- People battling depressionfeel, in a word, hopeless.

They lack energy, focus,

and are often overcome with anxiety.

Relationships take a huge hitwhen it comes to depression.

So does productivity

to the tune of $23 billiona year in lost wages.

Christian psychiatrist, DanielAmen, says scientific imaging

shows unhealthy lifestylesoften trigger depression.

While better choicescan turn things around.

- Here at Amen Clinics, welook at people's brains.

We have a database of150,000 scans on people

from 120 countries.

And when I started looking at the brain,

I'm like, oh, we can make it better,

or we can make it worse.

- [Lorie] This led to a programwithout prescription drugs

that resulted in one of thehighest published success rates

in treating mental health.

Dr. Amen shares it in his book,

Feel Better Fast and Make it Last.

Step one, eat right.

Because the standard Americandiet can sabotage our brain.

- We're in a war in our society.

ISIS has nothing on our food industry.

The real weapons of mass destruction

are highly processed, pesticidesprayed, high glycemic,

that means it raises yourblood sugar, low fiber,

food-like substances, storedin plastic containers.

- [Lorie] Dr. Amen also backsup what we've been reporting.

Put good bacteria in your gut

because the microbiomeinfluences mood big time.

- If you change your diet,add more colorful fruits

and vegetables and get rid of sugar

and foods that quickly turnto sugar and processed foods,

it's been found to be an effectivetreatment for depression.

It's like, yes, you can gofor the antidepressants,

they have all these side effects,

or you can go with the food.

- [Lorie] Vitamin deficiencies also affect

your brain and mood.

For example, most Americans simply

do not get enough vitamin D,

the so-called happyvitamin and there's more.

- I think everybody should be taking

omega-3 fatty acids every day.

We have a crisis in this countryof low levels of omega-3.

Why should you care?

Well 25% of your brain is actually made up

with omega-3 fatty acid,

so if you're low, your not thinking right.

- [Lorie] And that causes many sufferers

to turn away from peopleto screens like TV,

social media, and video games.

- Digital addiction so common,things like pornography,

looking at things you shouldn't look at,

even the negative news becausethe brain pays attention

to scary things waybefore it pays attention

to happy things.

- [Lorie] And all thishappens while sitting

or lying around.

Inactivity, another risk factor.

On the flip side, exercisereleases endorphins.

Our brains feel good chemicalsand improves the hippocampus,

the region of the brainthat helps regulate mood.

Working out also helps us get our Zs.

- And sleep is so important.

You should be targetingat least seven hours

of sleep at night.

When you have a bad day,

it's often 'cause you didn't sleep right.

- [Lorie] And listen to this parents,

athletes, and soldiers.

- Mild traumatic braininjury is a major cause

of psychiatric illnessand nobody knows about it.

Do not let your children hit soccer balls

with their head.

Do not let them play footballbecause it damages your brain.

- All of us feel emotionally low at times

and reach for a quick pick-me-up.

The trick is choosing something

that'll make us feel better now and later.

This means safely appealingto all five senses.

- Vision is so importantbecause 30% of your brain

is dedicated to vision.

- [Lorie] Images of natureand never-ending patterns

called fractals do the trick.

Then add in the sound of theocean or your favorite music.

- What are the scents thatcan help you feel better fast?

And lavender has been shown

to decrease anxiety and depression.

- [Lorie] And touch.

Get a massage or hold thehand of a happy person.

- There's actually an interesting study

that if you hold the handof someone you care about,

your brain waves begin to sink.

So you wanna be very carefulwith who's hand you hold.

- [Lorie] While far too manyAmericans deal with depression,

some cases, not all, appear to be linked

to our food supply and culture.

The good news, for certain people,

lifestyle changes can helprestore joy and peace.

Lorie Johnson, CBN News.

- Thanks Lorie.

Very perceptive.

You know the story's told abouta man who was just suffering

with terrible depression,

so much so he just wanted to die.

So he figured that hecould just run himself

to the point where he'dhave a heart attack

and that would kill him.

So he got out and he startedrunning as hard as he could

till he was exhausted.

He fell down exhausted.

The next day he went andhe ran as hard as he could

(woman laughing)to try to get a heart attack,

and the next day he did it again.

And after a couple weeksof that he felt so good

he didn't wanna die.

(both laughing)(hands clapping)

You don't kill yourself,there are ways to stay alive.

And by the way, to watch theentire interview with Dr. Amen,

tune into Healthy Livingon the CBN New Channel

tonight at 9:30 eastern time.

Wendy.

- It reminds me, I used to go to,

when I went to the gym thatI took this sit up class,

- Yeah.- ab class,

and the guy used to always say,

nobody with abs can everbe depressed (laughs).

And so it would just makeyou wanna do more sit ups.

But, it's true, exercise is in.

- Yeah.- They didn't mention

a little dark chocolate in there.

- Well the dark chocolate is fantastic.

- [Wendy] You gotta have a little balance.

- This whole thing about the gut flora

that we've emphasized so much.

I think part of that fungusthing would be cured.

They give so many antibiotics,but we load it up,

and the antibodies kill the gut flora,

they just wipe them out totally.

And so little children, theyhit 'em with an antibiotic

because they have the sniffles,

and the next thing you knowthey don't have any gut flora

and therefore that nextbrain isn't communicating

with the regular brain andthere are so many trillions

of microbes in the gut.

If they're healthy and they'rebalanced as they should be

then the whole microbiome,

the whole human being is much healthier.

And I think we can ward off that fungus.

I think that fungus isjust sweeping the world

and everybody's so afraid of,

I think would be cured bypeople who were eating properly

and having that gut the way it should be.

And there's somethingcalled Garden of Life

and I like what they got.

They've got probiotic pills,about three of 'em a day,

and you look where they locate,

they're in the refrigeratingpart of the health food store

or in a supermarket or what have you,

and Garden of Life's the one I know.

There may be others, butanyhow, three of those

and then a prebiotic which feeds them,

beans and things like that.

- Pre and pro.- Cabbage.

- I've seen yeah, Garden ofLife, that's a good brand.

- I take three a day and Itake one of those prebiotics

which the gut flora needssomething to feed on

so you give it somethingto feed on (laughs).

So, hey, it keeps you healthy and happy.

So you watch our show and you'rein touch with happy people.

- Amen,

all right, up next, ahardened welder becomes

as weak as a baby.

- I'm holding this piece ofsteel and all of the sudden

I could not hold it.

It almost fell on his head.

It was like I can't riskanother person's life.

- [Wendy] Watch how anamazing miracle unfolds

after this man is diagnosed with ALS.

(upbeat music)

ALS, better knows as Lou Gehrig's disease,

is a crippling, incurable affliction.

So when Tony Perkinsreceived that diagnosis,

he just wanted to die.

It was the capstone to ahuge pile of bad breaks

that Tony had to battle his entire life

beginning when he was just a boy.

- I was crap, I was dirt,mud, all that good stuff,

and that's the way I lived my life.

- [Narrator] As a young boy growing up

in a small Indiana town,

Tony Myers never felt anyonecould love him, including God.

- He just wanted tothrow lightening bolts.

If you even stepped onelittle bit outta line.

- [Narrator] Raised a Catholic,

he tried to hold ontosome belief that God cared

until two of his friends werekilled in a car accident.

- The only way I knew how to deal with it

was through the anger andthrough cutting myself off

and through not caring,

because if there's a God likethat, I ain't serving him.

- [Narrator] Tony went on toserve eight years in the Army

before taking a job as a welder.

And all those years hewas still angry at God

and the world and lookingout for number one.

- I always looked at itlike, you're out to get me,

so I'm gonna get you first.

In my mind, I was the force.

- [Narrator] Then at 39years old, he met Deb,

a Christian who saw Tony much differently.

- There was something abouther that I'd never experienced.

And she always said shesaw gold in me in spite

of my actions.

I wanted what was best for her

and that was very unusual for me.

- [Narrator] But a woman'slove alone wasn't enough

to soften his calloused heart.

That same year, Tonystarted having symptoms

that came without warning.

- I would wake up and be deadly tired,

could not keep my eyes open.

I would end up eating like every other day

or something like that.

I didn't care.

I mean, to me, I'm justgonna barrel through it.

- [Narrator] For two years,Tony kept getting worse.

- I'd get weak just all thesudden get weak, my legs,

my arms, just outta the blue.

- [Narrator] Still, herefused to see a doctor.

It wasn't until a near fatalaccident with a coworker

in March 2009 that Tonydecided he needed help.

- I'm holding this piece ofsteel and all of the sudden

I could not hold it.(ominous music)

It almost fell on his head.

It was like I can't riskanother person's life.

- [Narrator] Tony wentto several specialists,

but none could find a cause.

Eventually he was forced to use a cane

and then he lost his job.

- I'd always been able toovercome everything on my own

and now I'm getting fired?

That really hurt.

- [Narrator] One night hesaw a preacher on television

and made him think hemight need Jesus after all.

- I mean, emotion hit methat I had never experienced.

That's the moment I knew Jesus was real.

- [Narrator] But Tony still didn't believe

Jesus could love him.

Meanwhile he and Deb marriedas he continued to deteriorate.

Eventually he was confinedto a motorized wheelchair.

- I mean I couldn't breath,speech was a huge problem,

and it was around that timethat my fingers were starting

to crump up.

- [Narrator] Finally, afterthree years of testing,

doctors concluded Tony had afatal neurological disorder,

most likely ALS.

- Oh my gosh, it's gonna getworse than it already is.

So I mean, I was going throughall the gambit of emotions

all the time between fear and anger.

At that point, I'm like,forget it, just let me die.

- [Narrator] But on July4th, 2012, Tony was thinking

about something very different.

It was an article he had readabout Jesus' crucifixion.

- I saw Jesus at thewhipping post being scourged

and just seeing chunks offlesh being ripped off.

And in his eyes there was a deep,

a truly deep love

that was unending.

Jesus suffered far worse than I did.

And how much he had to of loved me then.

And it was like I knewbecause he loved me that much,

he wanted me to be whole.

My anger just evaporated.

Back pain be gone.

It just came outta my mouth.

All the pain left.

What in the world?

Then I said, fingers move.

And then my fingers are moving.

And then that's when I said,Jesus don't let me fall.

And all the sudden my legs hit the floor.

Is this really happening?

Wow, my Lord, my Master, my God.

You did this for me.

- [Narrator] Today Tony isstill strong, pain free,

and eager to share howJesus' love healed his body

and his soul.

- The fact that the Lord loved me

in spite of me totallybeing set against him,

he loves you as you are, right now.

And he sees you as the mostprecious thing on the face

of this earth.

turned a certain way, herright hip would cause her

to cry out in pain.

One day, Pat, she was watchingand she heard you say,

not believed God would heal her,

when you said stand upand walk Pat, she did,

and the pain left and hasn't returned.

- Hallelujah.

Here's somebody called Rosareeof Charlotte, North Carolina.

She had back pain.

She was watching our program and you said,

someone with a backcondition and Rosaree said,

that's me, and she immediately was healed

and Wendy said to the healed person,

get up and praise God, and that's exactly,

(Wendy laughing)they both stood up

in faith and God healed 'em.(Wendy clapping)

- Love it.- So folks,

you know we believe in the power of God,

it's just that simple.

It's not some big deal.

It is a big deal, but atthe same time, it's simple.

criticized that remark tweeting,

first member of Congressever to describe terrorists

who killed thousandsof Americans on 9/11 as

"some people who didsomething," unbelievable.

for statements deemed anti-Semitic.

(upbeat music)

- The amount of loans thatstudents have accumulated

is simply staggering.

And this whole generationfaces that burden

and it is enormous.

Well Jordan Arnold hasbeen featured on Yahoo

and Money Magazine as amillennial who wasn't fazed

by that huge loan, he paidit all off in just 10 months.

His goal was to be financially free.

The hard part was convincing his fiancee,

to join him in this very worthy endeavor.

- [Narrator] 63% ofmillennials are being crushed

by student loan debt.

24-year-old Jordan Arnoldis not one of them.

At the age of 21, Jordan paidoff $24,000 in student loans

in under a year.

- I didn't really wannahave debt over my head.

It was tough moving backinto the parents' house.

By working 75, 80 hours aweek for about 10 months.

- [Narrator] Jordan isalways ready to explain

how he paid off his debt.

But he would rather peopleunderstand why he did it.

- I'm a saver, so don't spendmore money than you have

and give to God what is his and invest.

I think we're called to bestewards of our resources.

- [Narrator] Jordan learnedthose sound financial principles

from his parents, who werehardworking, Midwestern farmers.

- They taught us a lot ofbiblical principles as we grew up

and my mom would emphasize tithing.

I was thinking about my future family

that I wanted to be prepared.

- [Narrator] Then along came Emily.

Also looking toward the future.

- I could just tell veryearly on that he had

a very Godly approach to his money.

- [Narrator] As therelationship blossomed,

the couple realized

they had very differentattitudes toward money.

- Typically my firstthought with my money was,

what could I do with this, for me?

At the time I was kind of afraid

that maybe he would be scared

of how I was spending my money.

- [Narrator] Jordan was undaunted.

And soon introduced Emilyto the concept of tithing.

- She was hesitant.

But she knew that wassomething that she should do.

- I was thinking, I don'treally have that much to give.

- You know, I think thewidow and the two mites.

She just gave what all shecould and God really knows

what the true heart is of the giver.

- Putting in that $5 inthe bucket was difficult

because at that time I wasliving paycheck to paycheck.

I did grieve just a littlebit, just because it was having

to make a sacrifice.

- [Narrator] Several months later

the couple decided to marry.

But the expense of their upcoming nuptials

tested their commitment to giving.

- It's an internal struggle

when you feel like God'stelling you to give something

and you don't fell likeyou have it to give.

- [Narrator] In obedience,Jordan and Emily,

continued to tithe.

When their wedding day finally arrived,

everything had been paid for in cash.

- Emily and I grew closer during that time

just because we were trusting him

and allowing him to bethe king of our lives.

- [Narrator] A few months later, Jordan,

now a successful banker,received a bonus at his job.

- That was more than enoughto pay for what we had given,

probably three times what we gave.

- [Narrator] Jordan's bonus was followed

several months later witha promotion and a raise.

Just four months after that,Emily got a new job as well,

enabling the couple toincrease their giving.

- I think giving is a lot like exercising

and the more we do it, themore we can see the benefits

and see the rewards.

- [Emily] Through giving we're just able

to feel so much joy.

- [Jordan] Just be obedientto whatever he's calling

you to do.

- Isn't that marvelous?

You know, a young couple,he's learned the principles

and the biggest principle is

you can't spend more than you bring in.

And if you take a part of what you have

and that goes to the Lord first,

the tithe belongs to the Lord.

And so you take 10% out andyou say, well can I afford it?

Well you can't afford not to.

And Jordan and Emily, they're examples.

Now I wanna give you somethingcalled the I Wills of God.

I found this in the 91stpsalm and I said my goodness,

look at there's a whole listof things of what God says.

He said because he set his love upon me,

therefore I will.

He begins to say what he will do for you.

It is overwhelming and thisDVD has not only the principles

of the teaching, but ithas examples of people

who have had miracles in their lives.

So, I wanna send this to you

for those of you who join our 700 Club.

And how do you do that?

It's 65 cents a day, it'sless than about a half

or a quarter, a third, orwhatever a bottle of soda pop.

But it's $20 a month andyou do that all year around

and it gets to be somethingas hundreds of thousands

of people participate,its very, very important.

So, you can join in and thenumber's on your screen,

we'd love to have you as a member.

You have a testimony.- Yeah.

People love the DVD.

Mike from Minooke, Illinois, says,

The I Wills of God is a blessing

and an insight into oneof my favorite scriptures.

Pat always does a goodjob breaking things down

and explaining scripture.

Thank you.

And thank you Mike for lettingus know that you liked it.

- Amen.

Well go for those who are 700Club members, $20 a month.

All right, let's have some questions.

- We got some email.

Let's go, G writes, whatdo you think God thinks

when people have surgery to get things

changed they don't like about themselves?

I guess nose jobs, facelifts, et cetera.

- Well, what does God think about someone

who puts lipstick on orrouge on their cheeks

or has a permanent insteadof just letting your hair

just kinda hang loose butgoing into the beauty parlor.

I mean, you know, I don'tthink God minds that.

The question is, where is our focus?

A facelift will cost about 10 grand.

So, I mean the questionis can you afford it

and if it really makes you feel younger

or makes you better qualified

to get a job or something, I mean why not?

I don't see anything inthe world wrong with that.

It's the question isare you focused on you

or you focused on Jesus?

I think that's what the key is.

All right?

- Even if I was on a desert island,

I'm like, give me my lipstick (laughs).

(Pat laughing)

I don't even care if anyone sees it.

I just need it.

Okay, Sarah says, I amdivorced and remarried.

I know God is against divorce,but will he still forgive me?

How do I go forwardliving my life for him?

- Well, I think the question is,

where were you before

and what is the reasonthere was a divorce?

I think there are grounds for divorce

and once you're divorced,

there's no reason not to get remarried.

Paul has the so-called Pauline privilege,

if the unbelievers pleased to depart,

let him depart the beloved,

the believer is not boundin a case like that.

If there's adultery along the way

there's no problem, in scriptural.

But, again, you can't unscramble eggs.

So, you're know puttingyour life together,

you are remarried and I justbelieve the church as such

has got to come out with some more rules

because the number of people

who are having the kind of relationship

you have, they wanna live for the Lord

and they want God's blessing,

and I for one would say I would be willing

to bless such a union.

I don't think that now thatyou've been living together

for few years and trying toset up a Christian household

you outta break it up.

I just don't think thatwould be smart, all right?

- Good advice.

This viewer says, is it agood time to invest in gold?

- Well, gold is a sortof a dead investment.

It doesn't pay any dividendsand you have to hope

that it goes up.

There's a company that I like a lot,

it's called Barrick Gold.

It was founded by a guy named Peter Munk

and John Thorton is theexecutive manager of that company

and he's a brilliant business man.

And Barrick Gold is just doing well.

And they also pay dividends.

So if you want gold,

I don't normally talk about companies,

but that company is solid as a rock.

If you like gold,

they are probably the lowest cost producer

with huge reserves of gold.

Ask your broker, BarrickGold is somewhere about

the lower $13 a share,something like that.

- Do you mind if I ask,do you have any gold

in your portfolio?

- I've got a little goldand little bars of the stuff

but I've also got some substantial stock

in Barrick Gold, I like it.

- So don't put all youreggs in one basket.

- I guess in full disclosure,

I own some of if,

but I don't think I'm gonnamove the market (laughs).

It's really a good investment.

- Kathleen says the passage in John 17:26,

the love with which youloved me may be in them

and I in them.

Is that only for the apostles,

or can we, should we, include ourselves?

I dearly hope so.

What are your views?

- As I recall, he goes on to say,

and those who will come tofaith through their word.

I think it's way beyond the apostles.

I think it's everybodywho shares their faith.

Who comes to faith throughthe words of the apostles,

which of course is in the Bible.

So I think it's for everybodyand I would certainly hope so.

I receive it for me and Ihope you receive it for you.

- All right, JJ says,

I heard Pat say he lovescharismatic Catholics.

I'm a Catholic, but not sureI understand what he means.

Please explain.

Thanks, Catholic viewer.

- Well, the charismatic arethose who have been baptized

in the Holy Spirit who practicethe gifts of the Spirit.

Who believe in healing,

believe in the power of God's spirit.

And the Catholic churchhas been very warm towards

this expression of faith.

I think the pope has saidgood things about them

and other's has

and I think it's a vibrant form of faith

and very exciting.

But, that's, you know,

the Catholics who have hadthe charismatic experience,

filled with the HolySpirit, exercising the gifts

of the Holy Spirit and Ihope you share that blessing.

We leave you with Today'sPower Minute from Mark nine.

If you can believe,

all things are possibleto him who believes.
