- [Announcer] The followingprogram is sponsored by CBN.

- [Wendy] Coming up.

- [All] Be strong, be there and be.

- [Wendy] Luis Palau's final goodbye.

- I'm ready to go, I havethe peace of the Lord.

- [Wendy] But this 85-year-old evangelist

won't go quietly into the night.

- What have you learned?

- This is exactly whatthe Lord had in mind.

- [Wendy] Then.

A quadruple infection.

- [Woman] I was like no, that's not right.

- [Wendy] And a brain frying fever.

- We were putting icelike up under his armpits

and everywhere would put ice.

- [Wendy] How did he makeit out of the ER alive?

- It had to be a miracle.

- [Wendy] On Today's 700 Club.

- Well, welcome to the 700 Club.

Thunderous applause and standing ovations.

That's what President Trump received

at the State of the Union last night.

The President eloquently put up points

for the progress hisadministration has made

and began, of course,to lay the groundwork

for the 2020 campaign.

He also had a few surprises in store,

as White House correspondentBen Kennedy explains.

- President Trump deliveredan uplifting speech

touting the company, jobsnumbers and trade deals.

He talked about his fightfor religious liberty

and called on Congress toend late-term abortions.

- Madam Speaker, the Presidentof the United States.

- [Ben] President Trumpwalked into the same chamber

where House Democratsvotes to impeach him.

He did not shake HouseSpeaker Nancy Pelosi's hand.

- Members of Congress, thePresident of the United States.

- [Ben] Pelosi left off that it was her

high honor and distinct privilege

when introducing the Commander-in-Chief,

but despite delivering theState of the Union address

under the cloud of impeachment,

Trump did not mention it.

The President's theme was"The Great American Comeback,"

touting his success since taking office.

- The state of our union is stronger

than ever before.

- [Ben] Trump talked aboutdefending religious liberties.

- We don't tear down crosses,

we don't ban symbols of faith,

we don't muzzle preachers and pastors.

In America, we celebrate faith.

- [Ben] He then called onCongress to fight for the unborn.

- That's why I'm also callingupon members of Congress

here tonight to pass legislation

finally banning thelate-term abortion of babies.

- The fundamental protection of life

in the United States to end at long last

late-term abortion, certainly we

can all agree on that.

- It was shocking to me that Democrats

would not even stand todefend late-term abortions.

That's just, it's very difficult for me

to wrap my mind around that.

- Some of your Democraticcolleagues decided

not to show up.

Why was it so important foryou to attend tonight's speech?

- I disagree with thePresident on many things,

but he's still the Presidentof the United States

and I believe it's myconstitutional obligation

to listen to the Presidentand to try to make

the best I can to findwhatever common ground

there may be.

- [Ben] Lawmakers found common ground

with a standing ovation for Venezuelan

opposition leader Juan Guaido,

a surprise guest of the President.

- Please take this message back

that all Americans are united

with the Venezuelan people in

their righteous struggle for freedom.

- [Ben] The chamberwas on their feet again

to welcome back a soldier in a

real-time surprise homecoming,

then applauded Rush Limbaugh,

who was honored with thePresidential Medal of Freedom.

- Be loved by millions of Americans,

who just received a stage IVadvanced cancer diagnosis.

This is not good news,but what is good news

is that he is the greatestfighter and winner

that you will ever meet.

- [Ben] The address wrapped up

with the House Speaker making it clear

what she thought ofthe President's speech.

- It's unbelievable.

I mean, here while the President is saying

God bless America, Nancy Pelosi is right

behind him tearing his speech up

and that to me exemplifiesthe Democratic party

that we're dealing withhere in Washington, D.C.

- The President nowprepares for the outcome

of the Senate vote on twoArticles of Impeachment.

It appears the vote willfall down party lines,

which means Trump will be acquitted.

Ben Kennedy, CBN News, Capitol Hill.

- Thanks Ben.

You know, I watched thatthing by Nancy Pelosi.

What do the American people want?

They want our government to work together.

They want Democrats and Republicans

to work for the good of this nation,

to make this a better place

for us to live.

The people want jobs,

they want growing economy,

they want to be ableto have good education,

good schools, good healthcare and all that

and they want Congress tofix problems that are there.

But for the idea of having a speaker

tear up a speech at the endof that tremendous address,

that was choreographedand it was an insult

to the American people.

And, you know, when thosepeople sit on their hands,

when somebody is talkingabout the glory of America,

about how great this country is,

and talking about things that are

so important to everybodyand to see those people

sitting there and thoseladies all in their white

garb and everything.

That's not what the American people want.

They don't want dissection.

And I might also give a shout out

to the mayor of Michigan, I mean the

governor of Michigan.

She gave a magnificent address.

As Wendy was saying at the beginning,

she was talking like a Republican,

but it was beautiful.

She was, it was kind of like I'm not

gonna argue against the President.

I'm gonna talk about someof the accomplishments

that some of my fellowgovernors have done.

That was nice.

But she talked about, well let's go out

and fill in the potholes in our roads.

It was nice.

Well, it was one of those things

we have in America, butI think the Democrats

are seriously hurting themselves.

This impeachment thing has been a joke,

a disaster, it should havenever have been brought.

It was a revenge type of thing

against somebody that they hated

and they wanted HillaryClinton as President

and they didn't thinkTrump should be President

and they were trying to gethim out with an impeachment.

And this attitude atthe State of the Union,

they're turning Americanpeople against themselves.

It just, they're nothelping themselves this way.

You know, that thing that will win people

is you say, well, what does it say?

Smile and the world smiles with you.

You scowl and you scowl alone.

They're gonna be aloneand the debacle in Iowa

sort of points out they don't

know how to get their act together.

Well, in other news, at long last,

the impeachment saga ends today.

Yesterday both sidestook their last shots.

John Jessup has more.

- That is right, Pat.

The Senate vote is scheduled to take place

at 4 this afternoon eastern time.

Senator Majority Leader Mitch McConnell

and his Democraticcounterpart Chuck Schumer

making their final statements Tuesday.

- We've watched a majorAmerican political party

adopt the following absurd proposition.

We think this Presidentis a bull in a china shop,

so we're gonna drive a bulldozer

through the china shop to get rid of him.

This fever led to themost rushed, least fair

and least thorough presidentialimpeachment inquiry

in American history.

- I thought the House did a very good job.

I thought they made a compelling case,

but even if you didn't, the idea that that

means you shouldn't havewitnesses and documents

when we're doing somethingas august, as important

as an impeachment trial,fails the laugh test.

- And Pat, it is possible some Democrats

might join Republicansin their vote to acquit.

- Well, if I rated them,when I ask David Brody

probably next week to give his analysis,

there are a lot ofDemocrats, I mean congressmen

who are on the cusp andI think what's happened

is while the Presidentwas being impeached,

the American people got achance to watch Adam Schiff

and Nadler, Jerry Nadlergo on and on and on

and so as the more they talked,

the more the Americanpeople turned against them

and Trump's approvalrating are the highest

in his presidency.

His negatives are going down dramatically

and he's going to be reelected handily

and I think that the Democrats are gonna

suffer some serious losses in the House.

The balance may swing back to the House,

to the Republicans because it's incredible

what's going on.

But I'm so proud of JaySekulow, who's a dear friend

and has, of course, worked with me

in the American Centerfor Law and Justice,

he put together a teamof brilliant advocates

and their work was superband we'll have a vote,

it's all over, but whatan ordeal it's been

for the American people.

- I thought Jay did a great job

and I'll never forget his lines

and I don't think we'remeant to forget the line,

"Danger, danger, danger."

I thought well, done Jay,

and like you so proud of him.

- I am totally proud and what he has done,

he's defended the presidency,

the Office of thePresidency was under assault

and Jay and his team defendedit beautifully, John?

- Well Pat, turning toCampaign 20, the results

still coming in out of Iowa,

with 71% of the precincts reporting.

Pet Buttigieg and BernieSanders lead the pact,

followed by Senator Elizabeth Warren

with Vice-President, formerVice-President, that is,

Joe Biden at a distant fourth.

Democratic partyofficials began confirming

the votes by hand countafter a reporting app

failed due to codingerrors, creating chaos

and delaying final resultsfor nearly two days now.

Some are questioning ifit could mean the end

of the Iowa caucuses.

Well, hundreds of Americansarriving home from China today,

leaving the coronavirus hot zone,

touching down at California's

Travis Air Force base early this morning.

This, as the virus is still spreading,

infecting more than 24,000 people.

Lorie Johnson has more.

- The Americans evacuated from China

filling two airplanes will be quarantined

for 14 days on U.S. military bases.

This is the second U.S.government sponsored evacuation

of Americans from theepicenter of the outbreak.

The virus has killednearly 500 and infected

more than 24,000.

The vast majority of casesremain confined to China,

thanks to extreme measurescontaining the spread.

Medical experts preachedcaution and that wearing

a mask might not be enough.

- For people who have no symptoms,

the mask will not necessarilyprotect them hundred percent.

- [Lorie] This hospitalin China built in little

more than a week can carefor a thousand patients.

And Chinese officials areputting drones in the air

to spray disinfectant.

Casinos in the Chinese territory of Macau

closed for at least two weeks.

Off the coast of Japan, a cruise ship

quarantined after apassenger tested positive.

Meanwhile, in Wuhan, groundzero for the outbreak,

courageous Christians take the opportunity

to spread the good news of Jesus,

handing out masks alongwith Christian literature.

- They shared the love ofChrist and point to Jesus

to bring hope to them and their families

and the whole China.

And this is really a breakthrough.

- And for more on thestory, let's go back to Pat.

- Thanks.

Well, CBN medical reporter,Lorie Johnson joins us now

to talk about the risk here in America.

Lorie, should Americansbe concerned about this?

- Pat, the CDC says the riskto Americans is still low.

There are no deaths from the coronavirus

in the United States.

Still only 11 cases and that first case

that was first diagnosed in Seattle,

that particular patienthas been discharged

from the hospital.

- Well, what is it about this virus

that's got people so scared?

I mean you pointed out very cogently

at the very beginningthat many more people

are gonna die from influenza.

Why are we so scared of this coronavirus?

- The coronavirus is causingconcern because it's new.

We don't know what it's gonna do.

We don't have a vaccine for it.

It's spreading so quickly,but Pat, as you point out,

this has been a good newsscenario in that it's

so far been pretty mild.

The death rate from the coronavirus is 2%.

That's pretty low, so herewe have these 24,000 cases,

but only fewer than 500 deaths.

And I say that, that'sone death is too many,

but still that's lower than the death rate

from the flu in the United States,

which has a 5% death rate.

So right now in the United States,

10,000 Americans have died from the flu,

including 68 children.

So, that's terrible andso we are definitely

much more at risk in America right now

of catching the flu and dying from it

than the coronavirus, but that's here

in the United States.

- You don't think there'sgonna be a worldwide

pandemic on account ofthis coronavirus then, huh?

- Well, the World HealthOrganization met yesterday

and discussed that anddecided against declaring

a worldwide pandemic,simply because a pandemic

is something that isworldwide and right now

this is pretty much confined to China.

There have only been twodeaths outside of China

and anywhere between 98and 99% of all of the cases

are in China.

The last pandemic was in 2008.

The swine flu pandemic, remember that.

We had 285,000 deathsworldwide, worldwide,

about 10% of the entire population caught

the swine flu at that time.

You remember Ebola.

That was not a pandemic because the cases,

even though 11,000 people died,

they were all confined to three countries

in West Africa.

Outside of the regiononly 50% of people died

from Ebola and I say only 15, one death

is always too many.

- Of course, brilliant,Lorie, thank you so much.

- My pleasure.

- That's very gratifyingand well, anyhow, Wendy.

- All right, well comingup, the Billy Graham

of Latin America Luis Palau has preached

to a billion people worldwide.

What's his final message before the Lord

calls him home?

And then, brain fried.

This man had a 107 degree fever that was

burning every organ in his body.

How did he survive?

Stay tuned.

(grand music)

- This man rose from poverty to influence

presidents and popes.

Known as quote

the Billy Graham of LatinAmerica, Louis Palau

has preached the gospelto as many as estimated

a billion people.

Recently John Jessup spoke with him

just before his 85th birthday,

a milestone neither Palau nor his doctors

had expected him to reach.

- When you were first given the diagnosis

back in December 2017,they didn't diagnose

a long period of time for you to out.

- Absolutely.

Yeah, they were very clear and blunt.

Four of my sons werewith me, the four sons.

When the doctor told me,he said it's incurable.

If you do chemotherapy, you could last

nine, maybe 12 months.

I said if I don't doanything, he said four months.

He was very blunt.

- [John] Not long after,Palau went public.

- To our shock just a few days ago,

we got the word thatit's stage 4 lung cancer.

He and his sons asking for prayer.

- But I don't know, hisarms didn't get tired.

- [John] More than two years later,

Palau has defied the odds.

At his ministry headquarters just outside

Portland, Oregon, he told CBN News about

using the time he has leftto spend with his family.

He's also taken on big projects,

including a film about his life

and a spiritual memoirserving as an homage

to those who poured intohis spiritual wellbeing.

Like his parents, hiswife Pat and his mentor

and friend, Billy Graham.

- Why did you decide to write that book?

- As we chatted, I don't knowwho came up with the idea,

but was immediatelytaken up with the cause

of glorify Jesus Christ,emphasize the cross

and honor those that God used in my life

because I've always honored them publicly,

verbally, but to do itin writing so that other

believers will say, youknow, God can use me

in the life of a youngfellow or a young girl

who feels called to evangelize.

I could be a blessing to this person.

Every one of you could becomea child of God tonight.

- [John] From London tothe former Soviet Union

to Palau's birthplace in Buenos Aires

and even his adopted hometown of Portland,

the evangelist has relied on mass rallies

to reach the world.

He preached at whatwas billed his last one

this past June in Madrid.

- It's a huge blessing to Spain that he

was able to go, but Iknow for him personally

and for us to see him doing what he enjoys

the most was incredibly life giving.

- [John] Throughout your entire life,

you've been moving forward.

It's about the nextcampaign, the next message,

the next event, but now in this season

you've had to reflect and look back.

What have you learned?

- Well, first I'm thankfulthat I did what I did.

- [John] Luis credits themissionaries who traveled

to Argentina to showhim the love of Christ,

which he says lit his heart on fire

to serve the Lord and to reach the lost.

- I want you to knowthat this, as the ad said

is more than just a talk show

- [John] After 50 years of proclaiming

the gospel in 75 countries to an estimated

1 billion people, he has few regrets.

- I'm not begging to be healed

because I don't know God's purposes

and I trust him entirely.

The only sad thing is toleave my wife and kids

and the team and a few ofmy best friends, you know,

that's the only thing, butreally, I'm ready to go.

I have the peace of the Lord.

But there's a purpose.

The Lord's way is perfect, yeah?

So I felt one, which I've said that most

people look at me, are you sure,

is get out of the wayof the next generation.

I mean, I'm 84, going on 85.

You gotta make roomfor the next generation

to freely minister and freely do

and although you think,okay, we've transitioned.

Kevin is the president, Andrews's the

better known evangelist, butare you still in the way?

And then I come to realizeI am somewhat in the way.

I've got to get out of the way more.

- I imagine a lot of your thoughts

turn to legacy these days.

The legacy of your ministry,the legacy of family.

- I never had sat down to think.

I used to say when peoplewould ask me years ago,

I'd say I hope my boyswill put on my burial tomb,

you know, my father wasn't perfect,

but he sure loved Jesus Christ,

something like that, you know.

But if we could encouragethe next generation,

that's the only thing I think of.

- [John] Palau's son Andrew says

that's his legacy for the world

and his own family.

- He hadn't even beenofficially diagnosed yet,

but had a feeling something wasn't right

and took advantage ofthat moment to gather all

of the grandkids and really just express

his love for them and describe that he

felt like something wasn't right

and we'll find out and it probably won't

be many years left for him in this world.

And in light of that, I want y'all to know

about Jesus Christ, as if I haven't told

you before and gave thegospel to the grandkids

in such a direct and clear way.

It was very moving andas a father, as families,

we were so grateful 'cause you just dream

that your children will always remember

their grandfather in this kind of a way.

- In spite of his sickness,

Luis says the future for thechurch of Christ is bright.

So why do you think thebest days are ahead?

- Because I love what Isee in the new generation

of leadership in America,Latin America, Europe even,

but the reason I'm excited about the team

and the fellow is firstthat they're Godly.

My boys are men, middle-aged men

and they're men of God,they walk with God,

they're in the word.

They live a holy life, you know.

They're not playing around with the world.

They live for Christ andthey live for the lost,

so that's what givesme hope and excitement

about the team and theirassociation is because

I see that they are followingthe biblical principles

and therefore the HolySpirit will give witness

that this is exactly whatthe Lord had in mind,

generation after generation proclaiming

the good news, you know.

- [John] Palau's spiritualfire still burning strong.

John Jessup, CBN News, Beaverton, Oregon.

- John, I have this update by the way.

He's doing well.

Doctors are encouraged.

No new growth in tumors.

They're slowing down chemo treatments

to make it easy on Luis Palau's body.

His book is called "Palau: A Life on Fire,

"Spiritual Memoir of Luis Palau,"

and that's availablewherever books are sold.

- Incredible, incredible man.

- 85 years old and still going strong

as some others of us are as well.

- [Wendy] Yes, indeed.

- [Pat] Wendy?

- Well, we knew who that is.

Well, still ahead, she's 104 years old

and probably in bettershape than you and me.

What's her secret to beinga record-breaking runner?

But first, a vision of the afterlife.

A high fever sends oneman to the brink of death

and right in front of the gates of heaven.

What did he see and howdid he make it back alive?

(grand music)

- The nurses couldn't believe it.

When they took Clyde's temperature,

they had to take it again.

His fever had spiked,

the thermometer read an incredible 107.6.

The point where the brain in a human being

begins to fry.

Wow.

- Praying at that pointfor God to heal him.

I was trusting God that, you know,

it's gonna be over within a couple of days,

they said probably a coupleof days he'd be fine.

- [Narrator] Audrey and Clyde Shed have

been married 40 years and looked forward

to growing old together.

But that was put in jeopardy one night

when Clyde started vomiting

and developed a high fever.

The next morning, Audrey rushed him

to the emergency room.

- I knew something wasn't right

'cause he wasn't getting better.

So they admitted him to the hospital.

- [Narrator] They stabilized Clyde

and moved him from the ER to a room,

but then he took a turn for the worse.

- I knew he had a high temp

'cause I could feel the heat if I just

put my hand near his body.

- I got my tech in there and

she took the temperature.

Temperature was 107.6.

And I was like no, that's not right.

I've never seen a temperature like that,

so I got her to repeat it.

It was correct.

That is the temperature that every organ

in the body, especially thebrain can fry basically.

- Room just filled upwith medical personnel

and I knew it was serious when I heard

him say he can go into convulsions.

They had him laid back in the bed.

- [Narrator] Clyde's body was fighting

a double kidney infection,a urinary tract infection

and a bladder infection.

His temperature was sohigh, the medical staff

was concerned about brain damage.

- Well, we were at first putting ice

like up under his armpits andeverywhere we could put ice

and then we got what wecall a cooling blanket,

which goes up under him and over him

and it's supposed to helpwith that temperature, too.

- [Narrator] Fearing the possibility

of losing Clyde, Audreycalled their pastor, Ken.

- When we got there, thingsseem to be pretty urgent,

a lot of medical staff trying to help

and I was some distance from the room

as they were trying to work with him,

but we began to pray very earnestly.

- Everything was happening.

I was seeing nurses poking, you know,

and needles in him anddoctor running around,

you know them doing so much to him until

I just didn't think to pray.

I just knew that I neededother people praying.

- [Narrator] A prayer chainstarted at their church

while Clyde was barely conscious.

- I thought that we were gonna lose him.

I thought that, you know, there's no way

he's gonna come out of thiswith no deficits whatsoever.

A temperature that high, I mean it

could affect everything.

- I never felt nothing like that before

because we've always been so close

and the first few moments there,

I thought he was going to go on to heaven.

I was never going to havehim again on this earth

and be by myself and it was very scary.

- I remember telling her just to be calm

and, you know, God'sgonna take care of this.

Everything is going tobe okay and we believed

that the Lord was gonna take care of him.

- Well, then about fiveminutes after hearing that,

I had this calm come overme that I never felt before

and I just sat down andlet them do their work

and I knew he was going to be okay.

- [Narrator] After along night of treatment,

Clyde woke the next day.

His recovery stunned the medical staff.

- When he started comingto, he opened his eyes

and he started justlooking around the room

like where am I at andso the doctor come around

and started asking him questions,

"Do you know what year it is?"

And Clyde told him "2019."

Said, "Do you know who that is?"

And he said, "My wife."

- I panned the room withmy eyes and my pastor,

he was on my left side andwhen I panned over to him,

I could see his thumb, hestuck his thumb up at me,

and I thumbed him back, I was okay.

- And a couple days later, I seen him

because he was transferredback to the floor

and he was perfectly fine.

I mean, a miracle, it had to be a miracle.

- [Narrator] During his extreme fever,

Clyde says he saw the gates of heaven

and God's light shining from them.

- Some people thinks that dying is it.

I think God let me see heaven

and see his glory shiningfrom the inner walls

to let people know that hey,there's life after death.

You know, don't be afraid of death.

- [Narrator] Clyde's brush with morality

has grown Audrey's faithand Clyde's confidence

in his hope for heaven.

- Without prayer, Iwouldn't have never made it.

I don't believe I'd behere talking to you,

talking to whoever, you know,

or telling my story if ithadn't been for prayer.

- I have seen a lot ofmiracles in my life,

but now, I expect to see them.

When I ask God forsomething now, I expect it.

He's my Heavenly Father and after what

happened in January and Iactually watched a miracle

and so now, I just believe he's gonna do

what needs to be done.

- You know, I love my wife

and I love my kids, but when it comes

my time to go, I knowmy wife would miss me

if God took me, but if God took me today,

I've got nothing to lose.

I've got everything to gain.

- If God took me, I'vegot nothing to lose,

I've got everything to gain, wow.

Heaven, heaven is gloriousand Clyde went there.

We have some answers to prayer.

Lois, who lives in Jacksonville, Texas

had an awful back pain for two years,

then one day she was watching this program

and she heard Wendy saysomeone has horrible back pain,

you've been asking God toheal you and today's the day.

Lois said that's for me, the pain left

and she was excited.

She called our prayer center and said

I'm so thrilled him healed.

- Awesome, well, here's one Pat.

Faye of Madison, Tennessee had a terrible

problem with her throat and she hoped

that it would be mentioned during

a 700 Club broadcast.

Then one day she waswatching the show when

she heard you say it's like you've

got somebody grabbing your throat.

You're having a hard timeswallowing and breathing.

That obstruction just went away.

Faye knew this was for her.

She hasn't had any trouble since that day.

- Jesus said hither to,you've asked nothing

in my name, ask and you shall receive.

Ask and you shall receive.

Ask and you shall receive.

We're going to ask the Lord right now.

With God nothing is impossible.

With man it's impossible,but not with God.

Now Wendy and I aregonna join hands together

and I want you to pray with us.

Wherever you're watching this program,

don't be afraid, let this be the day

that this'll break through for you.

- [Wendy] Amen.

- Now Father, I joinhands with our dear friend

and we pray together.

- [Wendy] Thank you God.

- There's a woman,Elise, you've got a lump

in your right breast andjust recently touched it

and it is malignant, but it'sgoing to go away right now.

It's dissolving in thename of Jesus, touch her.

Wendy.

- Someone, you've got tingling and pain.

It's like a, it's just very painful

in your right hand and all your fingers.

And God is touching that right now

and that is leaving youright now as we speak.

In Jesus' name, you are healed.

- There's a neck sprain, a whiplash and

just reach over and touch your neck

and God just straightened it out,

everything is fine, Wendy?

- Someone with a throat problem,

Pat had prayed that for another person

and you were healed and someone else,

it's again a swallowingissue and God is touching

you right now and everythingis going to be made whole.

Just receive it andpraise God, you're healed.

- There's a black cloud over somebody,

it's just a black cloud of fear and doubt,

it's like a cloud has come into your life,

just darkness and it'sjust overwhelming you.

Right now in the name ofJesus, the Son of God,

the shining of the Lordis breaking through

and you're set free.

Now Lord, for all those in this audience,

You said ask and you shall receive.

So as they ask, grant the prayers

of the people watchingthis program right now.

For them, themselves, theirfriends and their loved ones

- Amen.- Amen, and amen.

- [Wendy] Awesome.

- Ida Keeling has lived

through 18 presidential administrations.

She endured the Great Depression,

witnessed World War IIand the Vietnam War,

march for Civil Rights,struggled as a single mom

and persevered through the tragic deaths

of her two sons.

Then, at the age of 67, Idabegan running for her life.

- [Narrator] At 104 years old, Ida Keeling

is still moving forward.

- Exercising is one of the best things

ever came up in the world.

It just keeps you moving,keeps you functioning all over.

- [Narrator] Ida's drive has come through

a lifetime of hardship, struggles

and something she pickedup from her father.

- I think I was something like him.

He don't let nothing keep him down.

- [Narrator] Born in 1915, Ida grew up

in Hell's Kitchen, New York City,

not far from Harlem.

Her parents owned a grocery store

and were able to provide for Ida

and her seven siblings.

- Those are special days.

Everything was great,the schools were good,

you had good friends, so therefore Harlem

was a beautiful placeduring some of my childhood.

- [Narrator] Her parentswere also Christians,

who taught them the values of faith,

hard work and perseverance.

They would need all of these traits

when in October of 1929,the Great Depression began.

- So, he lost the storeand he lost the house.

You don't even thinkabout it until you get

old enough to realize whata depression really is.

Two words came up back there.

Make do and just go with the flow

and do the best you can with what you got.

- [Narrator] Her fatherbegan selling produce

out of a cart and theyfound a new apartment.

To help the family, Ida looked for work,

but jobs were scarce, especially for a

teenage African-American female.

- Go in there and ask for a job,

they would come tell youwe don't hire coloreds.

What kind of foolishness is that?

What the color got to dowith the power of the people?

Just have to stay focused just like I say.

I never go downtown looking for a job

or anything and come back empty-handed.

I walk until I find something.

- [Narrator] Then at 17 she landed a job

at a sewing factory.

- I made $6 a week.

Whatever they had, I took.

- [Narrator] For the next two decades,

Ida continued workingand witnessed the tragedy

and triumph of World World II

and America's return to prosperity.

During that time shemarried Lawrence Keeling

and had four children.

- Your children is always your main thing.

I don't care how old they get or what,

they still yours.

- [Narrator] Then in 1953,she and her husband separated

after he became an alcoholic.

While Ida persevered asa loving working mother,

another African-American woman was about

to make history.

On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused

to take her seat in the back of the bus,

starting the fire storm thatwas the Civil Rights movement.

- Marched and marched, protest.

I also been in pickets.

There was always some problem.

Can't stand here, you can'tdo this, you can't do it.

The law allowed it,

but here come another piece of the law

that would start trouble.

- [Narrator] Even asracial tension and riots

spread across the country,Ida hoped and believed

for peace and had faiththat justice would prevail.

- There's something outthere, some power out there

greater than them and they guns.

That power is the power of God.

In 1964 President Lyndon Johnson signed

the Civil Rights Act to begin a process

of healing and racial acceptance.

- We believe that allmen are created equal.

Yet many are denied equal treatment.

- That was beautiful.

Civil Rights was beautiful,

it brought people together,

'cause it make you feelbetter about yourself.

- [Narrator] But thefight for racial equality

was far from over as America

rolled into the tumultuous 1960s.

- Like my father said,

that's part of life.

Things go wrong when you don't expect it.

- [Narrator] With racialunrest and Americans

fighting and dying in Vietnam, drug use

pervaded the country.

- The drugs really messed up people awful.

All the Harlems of America where people

don't have nothing, somany of our boys died.

- [Narrator] Ida's twosons, Donald and Charles

served overseas in the military.

Both returned and fellinto years of drug use.

By 1981, both had died because

of their drug addictions.

- That was sad times for me.

That's when life felt really lost,

really broken down.

I was not me.

I was just always sad,feeling down in the dumps,

wondering what did I do wrong.

- [Narrator] For the first time,

Ida needed help moving forward,

so her daughter Cheryl had a proposition.

- She asked me, "Mom, youwanna go on a 5K run with me?"

I said, "Ain't nothing else working,

"so I'll go on the run."

- [Narrator] At 67 yearold, Ida ran her first race

and through running Ida found healing.

It helps you feel good.

It just give you somethingto look forward to

and hang onto and say I'm gonna make it

even though it hurts.

It's like the Biblesays, that too shall pass

and it passed.

- [Narrator] Ida hasn'tstopped running since

and over the last 35 years,she set several records

in her age divisions.

Today she stays active with Cheryl,

her daughter and coach,speaks on the importance

of staying active and has written a book

on her life's journey.

- I'm gonna keep running until I can't

and I thank God everynight for my blessings

and also keeping me focused and alert

and helping me move on like I need to move

and that's the end of my story.

- I don't think we've seenthe end of Ida's story.

What an inspiration.

104.

- Oh, still out running and doing squats.

Oh, what an amazing woman.

- What gets me is shestarted running at 67.

I mean some people thinkthey're read for retirement

and she just started running.

- Good for Ida, okay.

- Well, still ahead,the part of the program

you've been waiting for, YourQuestions Honest Answers.

Cynthia says, "My husband needs help.

"So many things that are normal ways

"of the Christian life, he sees as sin.

"What do I do?"

Pat tells it like it is, so don't go away.

(upbeat music)

Well taking a simple step was painful

for a young girl fromTanzania named Glory.

It broke her father's heart that she

couldn't run and play with other children.

What's worse, doctorssays Glory's condition

would only get worse as she grew older.

- [Narrator] Glory wasborn a healthy child.

But by the time she turned2, her parents noticed

she had trouble walking.

- She complained of pain.

The doctors told us to give her fish

and vegetables to strengthen her legs,

but it didn't help.

She is my first-born childand I love her very much.

It hurts to see her struggle.

- As she grows, Glory'scondition is only getting worse,

it's getting more painfuland more difficult

for her to walk every day.

- Children laughed at herand called her handicapped.

She was really sad and didn't want

to play with anyone.

There was no way I could afford surgery.

It made me feel like I failed as a father,

but I prayed for her every day.

- [Narrator] When a friend told them

about Plaster House, a ministry supported

by Operation Blessing,Glory and her father

traveled 16 hours by bus to get here

and soon we arranged andpaid for Glory's surgery.

- She is a completely different child.

Now when she comes home from school,

the first thing she wants to do is play.

When family and friends visit, she shows

everyone that her legs are straight.

I am so happy to seeher playing and walking.

It is a thing of wonderthat people who don't

even know us, helped my daughter.

May God bless everyone who helped her.

It's Pat's latest book, it's called

"Ten Laws for Success, Keys to Win in Work

"Family and Finance."

This is so full of wisdomand the best part is

these are the words of Jesus and Pat

has masterfully put itinto these chapters,

"Ten Laws for Success"that will change your life.

We want you to have it, just go to

to your phones right now and say yes.

All right, we got email.

- Let's go for it, all right.

- All right, let's start with this one,

Sandra writes in, "I work in retail

"and my employer wants me to work Sundays.

"I've heard different teachingsabout working Sundays.

"Some say not to work onSundays and other say it's okay.

"I watch sermons online andlisten to Christian radio

instead of going to church.

"I give to Christian ministries.

"I try to stay ministryminded so to love others

"and do good deeds when I see a need.

"I read my Bible and pray.

"Is all this the same as going to church

"or should I start looking for a new job?"

- Well, the Bible says don't forsake

the assembling of yourselves together.

There's something that happens when people

come together and thefaith of one, you know,

reinforces the other, iron sharpens iron,

that kind of thing.

So the idea of assembly is good.

Now Jesus said that theSabbath was made for man,

not man for the Sabbath.

So in terms of Sunday,you do need a day off.

You've got to have sometime and the problem is

that commerce in our society

is so hectic and when you have to go

seven days a week, you're gonna break down

and there'll be nervous breakdowns

and all the mentalproblems that come about

because we're constantly on the go

and constantly beaten up.

Now you say should I get another job?

I don't know what yourfinancial situation is,

but it wouldn't hurt ifyou want to look for,

the job market is very good right now

and wages are high and people are looking

for workers and if you'reunhappy where you are,

I don't think it's any sin to want to

go someplace else, so it's your call.

- And you know a lot of churches

have Saturday night services now.

- Exactly.

So you can a church that'll give you

the spiritual encouragement, but still,

you do need a day of rest and our society

goes seven days a week.

And you know, seven, seven, seven

and there's no rest and we're hurting

because it it, all right.

- All right, here's Cynthia.

She says, "My husband needs help.

"He's been influenced by other people

"and has abandoned his many beliefs,

"or abandoned his beliefs."

"So many things that are normal ways

"of the Christian life,he now sees as sin.

"His views are very legalistic.

"What do I do?

"I love my husband."

- It's like a religiousspirit that's come upon me.

This extreme legalism is horrible.

It really is horrible.

And the Pharisees had it.

That's why they killed Jesus.

You know, we have a lawand you're broken your law

and they actually killed the Son of God

because they were moreconcerned about their rules

than something else.

I think the only way you can get,

maybe somebody who can show your husband

the error of his ways, but I'm telling you

if he's set in the way,

it's gonna be tough getting him out of it,

but it's a religious spirit and you need

to pray against it, all right.

- All right, Donnasays, "How did the altar

"in the Old Testament stay free of germs

"and infestation with all the blood

"being spread about?

"Did a crew clean it?"

- I have no idea what they did.

I'm sure there was some, you know,

they used a lot of washing.

People got, you know, bathed for this

and washed for the other and I'm sure

they had water that washing down

all the blood and gore.

But I don't think there was the same level

of infection that we have today.

I mean it was a simplertime and not so many

people had diseases.

So they did have diseases obviously,

but they used water andbeyond that I wasn't there.

- Interesting question.

All right, Sean says, "My older brother

"is an alcoholic and really doesn't want

"any help or therapy.

"We're at our wit's end as a family.

"Recently he was in ahorrible car accident

"and almost paralyzed.

"We as a family prayedfor his complete healing

"and the Lord him, praise the Lord,

"but he did not learn his lesson

"and continues to drink.

"Can't hold down a jobbecause of his drinking

"and has no respect formy parents or family.

"his lifestyle andoverall outlook has really

"hurt our family.

"Any suggestions in what we do from here?"

- The Alcoholics Anonymoushas got a wonderful program

because they realize that just having

an alcoholic all by himself,

they have a hard timeof staying abstemious.

But if there's somebody who's come

the same way he has and can be tied

in with him every day so he's calling

and he's accountableto this guy every day,

and I think what you need to do is get

this man into Alcoholics Anonymous

and then see if they can't pair him up

with somebody who's hada similar situation.

But it's tough.

You know alcoholism,it is kind of a disease

but at the same time,you have to overcome it.

Otherwise you can get destroyedby drinking, all right.

- All right, here's one from Jim.

He says, "Hi, Pat.

"This is Jim from Dayton, Ohio.

"I'm wondering if it'sokay to listen to music

"other than gospel?"

"I do love Christian music,

"but I still like somemusic I grew up with.

"Thank you."

- Well, I think so.

Some of the great music, I love Beethoven,

I love Mozart and I love some of

the great composers,Tchaikovsky and others.

We've got so many wonderfulthings to listen to

and so, you know, the trouble with some

of the current lyrics is they're so nasty

and so evil, you don'twant to be listening

to that stuff, but in terms of other types

of music, you don't have to always

be listening to hymns.

I mean, you know, we needto broaden our outlook

in terms of the culture that's there

and I think God gives music to people.

They wait on the Lord and the Lord,

you look at that Handel's "Messiah",

it was magnificent andthe other music like that.

Well, today's Power Minute is from the

book of Deuteronomy,"And all these blessings

"shall come upon you and overtake you

"because you obeyed thevoice of the Lord your God."

For Wendy and all of us,this is Pat Robertson.

Lord willing, we will see you,

Monday I guess for me, okay.

Thanks for being here.
