- [Announcer] The followingprogram is sponsored by CBN.

- [Wendy] Coming up.

- [Man] I just rememberseeing that flash of red.

- [Wendy] A cabin explodes.

- [Steven] And blew out windows

and it blew a whole wall out.

- [Wendy] With one man trapped inside.

- Jimmy's been in a horrible accident.

- [Wendy] How did this humantorch survive the blast?

- He was just completely white.

- [Wendy] Watch a miracleunfold in the ICU.

- And that's what they weredoing, watching over Jimmy.

- [Wendy] On today's "700 Club."

(dramatic music)

- Well welcome folks to thisedition of "The 700 Club."

It's massive, massive.

The coronavirus is on a rampage in China.

Yesterday, a drastic spike of15,000 new cases was reported

along with more than254 additional deaths.

Why the sudden jump,

and how is the Chinesegovernment responding?

Our Jenna Browder has moreon this escalating crisis.

- The increase in cases

is due to expanded diagnosis criteria,

allowing doctors to more quickly diagnose

and begin treatment immediately.

That brings the total number of people

infected by the virus,now labeled COVID-19,

to about 60,000 and totaldeaths to more than 1,300.

The shift raises questions

about China's testing methods and numbers,

resulting in the firing oftwo party officials in Hubei.

And with the number of cases on the rise,

health officials are warningit could soon start spreading

in communities here at home.

- A virus can have morepowerful consequences

than any terrorist action.

- [Jenna] The newestcase confirmed in the US

among evacuees quarantined ona military base in San Diego.

Of the new cases confirmed outside China,

nearly 50 were on board thisDiamond Princess cruise ship

quarantined off the coast of Japan.

- As each day progresses,

we are having additionalpeople tested positive.

- [Jenna] And hits HollandAmerica cruise ship

was turned away from fivedifferent ports in Asia

even though there are no knowncases of COVID-19 on board.

- We're all a bunch ofhuman beings on this ship

that have lives outside ofthis cruise ship that need us.

- [Jenna] Passengers celebrating though

after learning they'll finallyget to dock in Cambodia.

Now, help from Israel inthe form of new technology

could help curb the virus.

This revolutionary face mask

has the ability to kill 99%of viruses like COVID-19.

- It kills all viruses,all bacteria, all fungus,

and it will do it 100% of the time,

all day, all night, seven days a week.

You can wash it.

You can bleach it.

You can dye it.

You can hit it with a baseball bat.

It's gonna do its job.

- Israeli scientists useinvisible sound waves

to inject copper particles

with antiviral properties into cotton.

These engineers then combinethe ancient tradition

of spinning cotton withtoday's technology.

The result: masks thatare far more effective

than the standard N95 masks.

The company is shipping

these life-saving masks to Hong Kong.

And we've also learnedabout another victim

of the coronavirus.

The Chinese Grand Prix,which was supposed to happen

in April in Shanghai has been postponed.

Jenna Browder, CBN News.

- Isn't it marvelous thatGod is giving the Israelis

the concept that will changethe life of millions of people,

injecting copper into these masks?

It's marvelous.

Well in other news.

Excuse me. (coughs)

Frigid temperatures areinvading the Northeast

while a snow storm shutsdown parts of the West.

John Jessup has more.

- That is right, Pat.

A major winter storm sweepingthrough the country today.

Life threatening conditions

shutting down Interstate29 in North Dakota

from the Canadian border tothe South Dakota state line.

In Kansas, 17 people weretaken to the hospital

with minor injuries after aschool bus carrying 5th graders

slid off the road.

The storm moving into Chicago last night.

This morning, snowheading into the Northeast

along with heavy rains from DC to Boston.

Frigid air will bringbelow average temperatures

to the region this evening.

Well fiscal 2020 is just getting started,

but the government isalready setting records

for taxing and spending.

The Treasury Department reports

they collected over $1.178trillion in total taxes

from October through January.

That tops last year's high water mark.

While the government wascollecting all that money,

it also spent a record amount,

expenses totaling morethan $1.56 trillion.

That's a deficit over $389 billion.

Well the Equal RightsAmendment has been dead

for nearly 40 years.

Now House Democrats though

are trying to bring it back to life.

Even though the deadline passed in 1982,

Speaker Nancy Pelosi istrying to change the rules

to get it in, even over the objection

of one notable liberal.

Senior Washington CorrespondentJennifer Wishon explains.

- Today, the House votes on abill that removes the deadline

for ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment.

It's a last-ditch effort by Democrats

to get the controversial amendment

added to the Constitution.

- With this resolution,we take a giant step

toward equality for women,progress for families,

and a stronger America.

- [Jennifer] The EqualRights Amendment, which says

equality of rights underthe law shall not be denied

or abridged by the UnitedStates or by any state

on account of sex passed Congress in 1972,

but it failed to get theapproval needed from 38 states,

the 3/4 required to amend the Constitution

before its 1979 and thenextended 1982 deadlines passed.

Plus, a number of statesthat did ratify the ERA

later rescinded their approval.

- It is time to guaranteetrue gender equality

under the United States Constitution.

- [Jennifer] Despite thedeadline expiring decades ago,

Virginia revived the debate in January

when it became the 38th state to ratify.

The commonwealth's firstfemale Speaker of the House

ensured the ERA was the first bill

to pass out of her chamber.

- For the women of Virginiaand the women of America,

the resolution has finally passed.

(cheering and clapping)

- We will no longer suffer in silence

as we are discriminated against.

We will not stand bywhile being paid less.

We won't keep quiet about violence

perpetrated against women with impunity.

- [Jennifer] But critics say the ERA

is the opposite of what it claims.

They say it actually harms women

and mandates abortion on demand.

- This is about breakingdown any prohibitions

in any state against abortion.

This is really aboutcreating the inevitability,

on a federal level, forabortion to be legal,

any reason, any number, allpaid for by the taxpayer.

- [Jennifer] In addition,Nance says there are 800

gender-specific lawsdesigned to protect women,

like the Pregnancy Discrimination Act,

that would disappear under the ERA.

- Do we deserve specialprotection in certain areas

because, biologically, we need them,

or should those all end?

- While Democrats workto revive the amendment,

liberal icon Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

says the ERA is dead.

She encourages supportersto start over in Congress.

It's unlikely a new ERA, aswritten, would pass the Senate.

Getting 3/4 of the states to ratify it

would also be a challenge, butthis fight is far from over.

Jennifer Wishon, CBN News, Washington.

- Far from over, indeed.

Thanks, Jennifer.

Pat, back to you.

- Imagine, they say it'sgoing to help women,

but it's written so poorly.

And I remember my good friend,

Phyllis Schlaffly, worked so hard.

And it was in Illinoisthat they didn't ratify,

that steamroller to get this thing passed.

Why?

Well, among other things,it's not a question of gender.

It doesn't say gender, it's sex,

but this means how you do sex.

This will of courseput in the Constitution

a protection for homosexuality.

And all of the things

that the LGBTQ group have been asking for,

this would enshrine in the Constitution,

and then it would meanthat abortion on demand

would be required by the Constitution

and that all the protections for women

would be taken away that are existing law.

This isn't something to protect women.

It's this protection,

these other people would putthem into the Constitution,

and it's a tragic thing.

And so Ruth Bader Ginsburg,who was one of the attorneys

for the ACLU, has said it right.

If you want to do it,start all over again.

This thing is dead.

You cannot revive somethingthat has been voted down.

And a number of states havewithdrawn their approval

so they have to go backand pick that up again.

But it would be a tragedy,in my opinion, in this nation

to put this kind of thingin the Constitution.

But people are moving ahead as if,

I certainly think we shouldhave equal rights for women

all the way across the board,

and there're many, many, many laws

on the books right now mandatingequal pay for equal work

and all of the rest ofthe thing that women want,

protection for women.

All those protections

would be taken away with this amendment.

So, anyhow, let's hope it,in my opinion, it's dead,

it shouldn't be revived,it's unconstitutional.

I don't think this neweffort would survive

a Supreme Court challengeif it's given to them.

Wendy.- All right, thanks, Pat.

Still ahead on today'sprogram, a fiery explosion.

One man goes to check a gas leak

and a propane tank blows up in his face.

How did he survive the flames?

Plus, age slower.

How you can live better and longer.

Dr. Josh Axe will show you the way.

But first, the coming red wave.

Could we be seeing a new generation

of Republicans rising to power?

And who's most at risk this November?

CBN News has the answers so stay tuned.

(tense music)

(dramatic music)

- Could the impeachmentof president backfire

on the Democrats in 2020?

Well that's the big question

and the blowback has already started.

Abigail Robertson bringsus more from Washington.

- Throughout the impeachment proceedings,

Democrats made clear

they wanted to targetvulnerable Republicans

by getting them on therecord with tough votes.

Now that President Trump's acquittal

has led to record approval ratings,

that strategy might be backfiring.

- And I can tell you,

in all of our competitive Senate races,

they're in better shape todaythan they were a month ago.

- [Abigail] Not one of the GOP senators

facing a tough reelectionvoted to impeach Trump.

Republicans are also countingon impeachment fatigue

to help them hang on to those Senate seats

and possibly gain enough votesto flip back the majority

in the House of Representatives.

- I don't like Trump, but Ididn't like the impeachment.

- [Abigail] Republicansare specifically targeting

districts like CongresswomanElaine Luria's in Virginia,

who was one of seven freshman Democrats

who wrote this "WashingtonPost" op-ed about impeachment,

almost guaranteeing hearingswould get a green light.

- And I don't think weshould've wasted the time

doing the impeachment.

We have more importantbusiness like passing budgets,

which is the job of Congress.

- [Abigail] Many votersCBN News spoke with

questioned Luria's vote toconvict Trump on both articles.

- A lot of us didn't thinkthat was appropriate.

I don't know that Inecessarily voted for Trump,

but I also don't knowthat what was going on

was something that alot of other politicians

aren't involved in as well.

- [Abigail] But otherssupport her decision.

- Personally, I think the impeachment

should've went through.

- [Abigail] Meanwhile,Democratic leadership

stands by impeachment.

- We have no regrets aboutstanding up for truth

and the Constitution and impeachment,

but that has never slowedus down from our work.

- The big question is,eight months from now,

will impeachment will betop-of-mind with 2020 voters?

Reporting from Washington,Abigail Robertson, CBN News.

- Chief Political AnalystDavid Brody is here

to talk about vulnerable Democrats.

And before we begin, David,today's your birthday.

May I wish you a very happy birthday?

- Oh, Pat, thank you so much.

I call it the double nickel, 55.

I like to also call it theIHOP senior menu breakfast.

I'll be doing the simple two-egg breakfast

the rest of my life, I think.

- All right, well that triple,(Wendy laughing)

I'm glad that's a good breakfast for you.

I'm sure your analysis todayis gonna be equally cogent.

Well both sides aretalking about impeachment

politically playing in their favor.

What do you think aboutthis flipping the House?

Is there any possibility?

- Well let's just go to areality check for a moment.

It is gonna be hard.

Impossible, no.

Hard, yes.

And that's because history

is not the Republicans' friend here.

If we could just take aquick trip down memory lane,

and let's do it on mybirthday I guess, right,

I mean, well let's go way back.

Ronald Reagan in 1984, hehad that landslide victory

against Walter Mondale,won 49 of 50 states.

In that election, they were able to gain,

the Republicans wereable to gain 16 seats.

Here's the problem.

The Republicans this time need 18 seats.

They have to flip 18 seats.

So even in a landslideby Reagan, they won 16.

So it's tough to do.

Now having said that, it's Donald Trump

and he's facing this impeachment

that the Democrats have put onhim and, really, the country,

and so there obviously is a different set

of circumstances there, sowe'll see, but it is very hard.

Typically, incumbentpresidents, when they win,

there've been six incumbent presidents

that actually have won since World War II

and they net about seven House seats total

for their parties, so it's anuphill climb statistically.

Having said that, thereare some tea leaves to read

and they're not goodfor Democrats, for sure.

- David, you think theRepublicans have got the money?

I mean, it's gonna take a war chest to,

I noticed here in the second district,

they're going after Elaine Luria already

before the impeachmentvote even took place.

Do they have the money

to really mount a media campaign on this?

- Well they do.

As a matter of fact, over $500 million

coming in between theRepublican National Committee,

pro-Trump groups, and theTrump campaign themselves,

so they have a lot of money,

and a lot of money sinceimpeachment as well.

And also, remember,Donald Trump's numbers,

that Gallup poll, we've talked about that,

how he's at 49% approval rating,

which is his highest number in Gallup.

Before impeachment, that same number,

that same approval ratingfrom Gallup was 39%.

He jumped 10 pointsbecause of impeachment.

And so, if you kinda get into the numbers,

let's look at AnthonyBrindisi up in New York.

I think that's a realimportant one to watch.

He is a Democrat who voted for impeachment

and he's in a Trump district,

he's in a plus-15 Trump district.

And if you look at thepolling inside his district,

54% of the folks insidehis district in New York

did not want him to vote for impeachment.

They were against impeachment,but he voted for it anyhow,

and now, 41% compared to 21%,

41% say they are lesslikely to vote for him now

because he voted for impeachment.

That gives you a sense ofwhat could be happening

in many of these Trump districts.

There are 31 Trump districts.

In other words, these are Democrats

that have won in Trump districts.

That's the concern for Democrats.

- Looked like the Democrats

turned some importantCalifornia congressmen,

like in Orange County,which is pretty much

a Republican area.

Is there any chance of them coming back?

- Well that's a great question.

I'm glad you mentioned that.

Gil Cisneros, the Democrat,

did win back over there in Orange County.

And it's interestingbecause I was just out

in the OC if you willin Anaheim, California

talking to some pastors out there.

They've had over 50 pastors

that have, in essence, declared

that they're gonna run for public office,

whether it be city council,potentially Congress,

all of the different offices out there,

just in Orange Countyalone, which is interesting.

So there's a movement afoot

by pastors in this country, actually,

to get involved in the political process

and we're seeing a movementout there in Orange County.

And as a matter of fact,now that I think about it,

Pat, we need to do a storyabout that, which we will,

coming up on "The 700 Club" I'm sure.

- Well, I didn't realizeI was giving you a lead.

I threw a softball and youhit it out of the park.

All right, behind closed doors,

what are the Democrats saying

about this whole impeachment matter?

- Well they're very concerned.

I know Chuck Schumer hascome out publicly and said

that some of these SenateRepublicans are vulnerable

like Joni Ernst and MarthaMcSally and Susan Collins

and onward and onward.

But the truth of the matter is

they were already vulnerablebefore impeachment.

In other words, Susan Collins, right now,

is the least, she hasthe worst approval rating

of all Republican Senators right now.

She's in trouble in Maine,

but she was in trouble before impeachment,

so this idea that ChuckSchumer is saying publicly

that these Republicans are in trouble

because of their voteson impeachment, not true.

As a matter of fact,

if you look at some ofthese Senate Republicans

that voted for impeachment,Susan Collins, Cory Gardner,

Martha McSally, you can godown the list, let's be honest.

They voted for a couple of reasons.

They voted to acquit President Trump

because they didn't want aprimary challenge, number one,

and they're also hopingthat impeachment eventually,

after another seven,eight, nine months of this,

will, in essence, go by the wayside

and not be so top-of-mind

for folks that wantedthis president impeached.

They believe that, overall,the economy's doing well,

a lot of other factors, sothat's why they're hoping

that this will just kinda ride out.

So I wouldn't believe theChuck Schumer line so much

that these vulnerable Republicans,

or these Republicans arein trouble in the Senate.

I mean, I think it was gonnaalways be a pretty tough race

for all of them anyhow.

- Well David, again, happy five five

and you have a good day.

God bless you.

- Thank you, Pat.

- David Brody.

- He's a good guy.

- Excellent analysis.

Okay, what do you got now?- Well coming up later,

a real life human torch.

He had third degree burnsover 3/4 of his body.

Now, see how two angelshelped fight for his life.

Also, it may not be the fountain of youth,

but it's the next best thing.

Go inside The Collagen Diet.

How does it rejuvenate our bodies

and even help beat cancer?

Hear the science and thesecrets when we return.

(dramatic music)

(uplifting music)

- Well collagen has been called the glue

that holds us together.

It's found throughout our bodies.

But as we age, we create less of it.

So how can we kickstartour collagen production?

Dr. Josh Axe has the answers.

- The Collagen Diet'sreally there to help you

transform your digestive health.

It's really the ideal dietto help you age slower.

- [Andrew] Dr. Josh Axesis a certified doctor

of both natural medicine and chiropractic

and a clinical nutritionist.

He's on a mission to solvepeople's health problems

with his books, conference speaking,

and hugely popular website, DrAxe.com.

In "The Collagen Diet," his latest book,

Dr. Axe says that collagen is key

for weight loss, guthealth, and a younger you.

- Dr. Josh Axe is here with us now,

and welcome back to "The 700 Club."

You've been here before, right?

- I have, yeah, a few times.

Yeah, hey,- Okay.

- thanks for having me.- Nice to see you.

Well what is collagen exactly?

- Yeah, so collagen makes up 30%

of all of the protein in your body,

so your skin, your hair, your nails,

your bones, your discs,your ligaments, tendons,

your joints, your gut liningare all made up of collagen,

and so really, it'sessential for our health.

Just imagine this.

If you were trying to put on muscle,

you'd want to getmuscle-building proteins.

Well, if you want to heal your skin,

if you want to heal your immune system,

heal your gut, heal your joints,

you've gotta be gettingcollagen in your diet.

And the truth is most people

are not getting enough collagen.

And it's amazing, when people have started

consuming a diet that supports collagen,

they'll notice theirskin looks more beautiful

than it's ever looked, their joints,

if people have joint pain or joint aches,

that will start to get better.

They'll start to lose more weight.

And overall, it improves guthealth, immune system health.

Probably, of all thesupplements out there,

people notice the biggest difference

if they do a collagen supplement

or, in general, follow acollagen-boosting diet.

- Yeah, well I told you this morning,

I take this every morning.

This is your collagenprotein powder, one scoop.

I put a little bit more thanone scoop 'cause I think

more is better,- Same here.

Oh yeah, you're right.

- in my green drink.

So we're gonna talkabout this in a minute,

but first, I want to talk about your mom.

- Yeah.- Your mother

had a second bout with cancer.

How did you help your mom?

- Yeah, so my mom, we reallyfollowed that principle,

food is medicine, but also, number one,

that God is our healer, so the first thing

we did when my mom wassick is we spent time

praying for her, going to church.

She started really focusingon praise and worship music,

so we prayed for healing.

And along with that, we really believe

that God put certain foods around us

that we can use as anatural form of medicine.

And so my mom started juicingvegetables every single day.

She started drinking bone broth.

She started consuming wildberries like blueberries.

Started using certain herbs like turmeric.

She started using essentialoils like frankincense

and she followed myprogram for several months

and then she was diagnosed asbeing cancer-free and healthy.

Yeah, so now my mom is 67 years old.

Her and my dad retired to Florida.

She water skis.

She runs at 67.- Water skis?

- Oh yeah.- She's

taking her collagen then.- She is.

Oh, and she does her collagen,

her Multi CollagenProtein every single day.

- And you know, what I love too

about your Multi Collagen Protein

is you can't taste it atall in the green drink.

It's...- That's right.

Yeah, it's like.- I wanna sell this.

Okay.- Yeah.

- Well what are ways wecan get more collagen

into our diets naturally?

'Cause it's great to have

a protein powder.- Yeah.

- But you know, some people say,

"Well I want to do it naturally."

How do we do that?

- Yeah, so there're a few ways.

Number one, you consumefoods that support your body

in producing its own collagen.

You do that along with taking something

like a collagen protein.

So for example, like we'vegot some turmeric root here.

Turmeric is amazing forreally helping the body

reduce inflammation, andalso, it contains a compound

that helps your bodycreate more stem cells,

which then helps your body

create more collagen.- Now I have the turmeric

in the powder form thatI add to my smoothie.

Is that okay?

You don't have to buy the root?

- That's right, you can do it as the root

or do it as a powder or doit as a tea or a supplement,

but any way you want toget your turmeric is fine.

The other thing I heardyou mention, which,

by the way, you're just on top of it.

You're doing some good things right now.

You mentioned your tea, okay.

So matcha green tea.

Matcha's a really unique form of green tea

that has three times the antioxidants

that other green tea has, soit's a natural energy booster.

But matcha is from Japan andamazing for so many things,

for anti-aging, boostingenergy, but also can support,

really more, it doesn'treally boost collagen,

it protects your body from losing collagen

because, this is kindof a crazy statistic,

but once somebody is in their 50s,

- [Wendy] Okay.

- their body has, your bodyproduces 75% less collagen

than it did when you were 25.

So your body, once you hit the age of 25,

your body produces one to two percent

less collagen every year, so as we age,

it's even more important

that we start supplementing with collagen.

A few other things.

Vitamin C-rich superfoodssupport your body

in making collagen,lemon, lime, grapefruit,

oranges.- I love grapefruit.

- And then wild berries like goji berries

and blueberries andraspberries are also good for--

- And ginger, I love ginger.- Yes.

- I mean, I just put abig raw chunk of ginger

into my green smoothie every morning.

- Perfect.- And the more, the better.

I mean, to me, you know,

because you can't reallyhave too much of it I guess.

- That's right, yeah.

Ginger's a really unique herbthat supports two things,

reducing inflammation and gut health.

And along with that,can really reduce things

that break down collagen in our gut,

so it's great forreducing inflammation too.

- All right, great stuff on the food.

Well outside of foods,what are some activities

that we can do to boost collagenproduction in our bodies?

- Yeah, I would say the bigthing is your mental attitude.

Now people don't think about this

when they think about health enough,

but 80% of doctor visitsare due to stress.

So I would say, like thefirst thing I do every morning

is I do my spiritual triathlon.

I wake up and I praise God

and tell Him everything I'm grateful for.

That's how I start the day every day.

Number two, I read my Bible.

Number three, I spend time in prayer

and just building my faith

and knowing, you know what, God is for me,

He's not against me, and just meditating

on those principles of God.

And so I think, when weknow that God is for us

and He's got things undercontrol, that reduces stress,

- Yes.- but I would say

that's really the biggestthings in terms of lifestyle.

Now getting out walking,exercise, those are great too,

but the biggest thingsare that time with God

and then using food as medicine,

which we're obviously talking about

here.- Wow, that's so good.

I thought for sure you weregonna go first with exercise,

but thank you for saying that,- Yeah.

- Because, really, that is the foundation,

and, like you said, ifwe know God is for us,

then that just takes the stress away.

What are some foods andactivities we should avoid

if we want our collagen to be better?

- Yeah, so what we have to stay away from

is hydrogenated oils,sugar, refined grains,

like a lot of white and wheat products

like white flour, whitebread, those sort of things.

But I would say sugarand hydrogenated oils,

like french fries,

they're in hydrogenated oils.- French fries.

- Those are the biggest culprits

that are gonna cause inflammation.

Inflammation is what breaks down collagen.

So this diet, you want to do two things.

You want to reduce inflammation

and then you want to support your body

in regenerating and creating more collagen

within your own body.

- You talk a lot about bone broth in here.

- Yes.- And you said that

during medical school,

you actually yourself got soexhausted and you stumbled upon

this wonderful thing called bone broth.

- I did.

I spent years researching,number one, for my mom.

When she was battling cancer,I said, "You know what?

"I'm gonna find a naturalway for her to get healthy."

And I started doing research for myself.

I was working out a lot and I found

that when I consumed bone broth,

my joints felt so much better.

I had more energy.

I could not believe how great I felt.

And there are so many peopleout there today, Wendy,

who they look older than they should,

they feel older than they should.

They just don't feel well.

And I found that, when theyconsume The Collagen Diet,

which is about the book I wrote,

it's just amazing how theystart to lose more weight,

they look younger, they feel younger,

and I really believe it'sthe breakthrough diet

that will help people finally feel

the best they've ever felt.

- Well if it will it let mewater ski at 67 like your mom,

- Yeah.- I am all for it.

Dr. Josh Axe's new book iscalled "The Collagen Diet."

And for more tips, please get this.

It's available nationwideand it will change your life.

Dr. Josh Axe,

thank you so much.- Awesome, hey,

thanks for having me, Wendy.

Appreciate it.

with more of "The 700Club" right after this.

(tense music)

(dramatic music)

- A fireball erupted from the belly

of Jimmy Stewart's cabin.

The strength of the blast wasenough to shatter windows,

blow out walls, and evendislodge the second floor

from the rest of the house.

Jimmy was just inchesaway from the explosion.

How on earth did Jimmy survive?

- They told me, "Whenwe see burns this bad,

"we usually have a 24 to 48hour window and that's it."

And so they were giving me,basically, that much hope.

That's how much time youhave to get the family here

to say goodbye.

- [Andrew] In the summer of 2016,

Kathryn Stewart's husband, Jimmy,

was enjoying a weekend at their cabin

with family and friendsoutside of Anchorage, Alaska.

Little did they know, thepropane that powers the cabin

had been slowing filling the crawlspace

due to a leaky connection.

Late Saturday night, Jimmywent into the crawlspace

to investigate, whensuddenly, it exploded.

(fire explodes)

Their son, Steven, wasoutside during the blast.

- I just remember seeing that flash of red

where there was the flame,

and that's when I heard thekind of rushing wind sound

that was accompanied with the explosion.

And it blew out windows andit blew a whole wall out

and dislodged the wholesecond story from the first.

- [Andrew] Jimmy had taken the full force

of the fiery explosionand was still alive.

Steven's wife, Anna, remembers the moment

Jimmy emerged from the cabin.

- It was very shocking.

He was just completely white.

His skin was all white.

He had no hair.

- [Andrew] In an area wherethey've never had cell service,

they miraculously got a call out to 9-1-1.

As Steven drove his dadto meet the ambulance,

he prayed for his fatherwho was a pastoral leader

with the Alaska Baptist Convention.

- I remember praying forlongevity of ministry,

that the Lord would sustain his life

so that he could continue doing

what you've called him to do.

- [Andrew] In Anchorage,Kathryn soon got word

that her husband was life flighted

to Harbor View Medical Center in Seattle

due to the severity of his burns.

Right away, she called friends to pray.

- I didn't ask them, really,so much to do anything.

I said, "Just pray.

"Jimmy's been in a horrible accident.

"We need to get the word out.

"Please pray."

And I just told them,

"There's been an explosion at the cabin

"and he's been life flighted out."

- [Andrew] Thousands of people

from their network ofchurches and around the world

began praying for Jimmy's survival.

He was placed on life supportand received top medical care,

but with third degree burnscovering 77% of his body,

he was not expected tosurvive more than a few days.

Despite the poor prognosis,

Kathryn took all theirconcerns to God in prayer.

- Every time I would go tothe Lord with those things,

then I would feel morehope, more hope, more hope,

and that strengthened me.

That hope is strengthpurely from the Lord.

We can't come with that on our own.

It's supernatural, absolutely.

- I think it was theLord giving us this peace

that we just couldn't understand,

that didn't really make sense,

that He was gonna be sovereign

over the whole experience and everything

and He had Dad's life in His hands.

- [Andrew] Nine days after the explosion,

he was able to breathe on his own.

Several weeks went byand Jimmy clung to life.

One night, while prayingagainst infection and fear,

Kathryn had a vision oftwo angels around his bed.

- And they were huge andthey were strong and powerful

and they were on guard.

And that's what they weredoing, watching over Jimmy.

And the Lord said to me,not in audible words,

but in that picture thatHe gave me, "I got this.

"You don't have to fear."

- [Andrew] Kathryn hung cards, prayers,

and photos around his room

and created an atmosphereof praise and worship.

Over several months,Jimmy endured surgeries

to save his appendagesand multiple skin grafts

to replace the vast amount of dead skin.

With each surgery,doctors warned the family

about the risks that could take his life.

- "Be prepared.

"There could be brain damage."

It was all these things.

And then they would comeback from the surgery

and it seemed like 10 out of 10,

they would come back and like,

"Well, all the bad things thatcould've happened didn't."

(chuckles)

"And he made it through and it was weird.

"But we're glad, you know, we're glad."

- There's just so many miraclesthat kept on happening,

and so each time something would happen

and he'd get revived andhe'd get better and stronger

and come through it,they were just amazed.

They began to call him Miracle Man

because he just kept on gettingbetter every single time

and defying what they expected.

- The power of prayer is so invisible,

but it is so undeniable.

- [Andrew] Six months aftersurviving the explosion

that should've killed him,Jimmy walked out of the hospital

with a body full of scars, but also,

a new opportunity totell everyone he meets

about the loving Godwho carried him through

and the church who prayed for him.

- People walk up to me all the time

and I get to share withthem because they say,

"Do you mind sharing yourstory, what happened?"

And when I do, I get totalk about the greatness

and the goodness of God.

This has been the most threemeaningful years in my life

and it's just been overwhelming to me

to see how God hasworked through all this.

I have seen the power of God.

It didn't shake my faith;it strengthened my faith.

- [Andrew] Just weeks

after being released from the hospital,

he was able to walk his daughter

down the aisle at her wedding.

Jimmy returned to his job

with the Alaska Baptist Convention

and even plays racquetball competitively.

He says God has continuedto strengthen him

through every challenge he's faced.

- He's walking with me

in the valley of the shadow of death.

I don't fear any evil.

I don't fear any problems.

He is with me.

He's gonna restore my soul

and He's gonna lead mebesides quiet waters.

He's gonna anoint my head with oil

and just heal me and walk with me.

God loves us.

I want people to know that,

and in the midst of theirdeepest, darkest valley,

I want them to trust God.

Let God be God.

- What a ringing affirmation of faith.

God loves us.

In the midst of the darkvalleys, God loves us

and you can trust Him.

What a story of miracles.

Now this could be theday of a miracle for you.

God is no respecter of persons.

Now Jimmy, it's a miracle.

He should've died.

He should've lost his various appendages.

He should've had all kinds of bad things

and none of them happened.

Why?

Because Almighty God was lookingover him and sent angels.

All right, here's some reports

and then we want to pray for you.

Rachel, who lives in Temple, Georgia,

was suffering form shoulder pain.

One day she was watching this program

and she heard Wendy say...

You didn't know Rachel of Temple, Georgia,

did you?- I sure didn't

and do not, no.

- Well she heard you say,"There's somebody suffering

"from tendonitis in your shoulder.

"God's healing you."

Rachel was healed right after that

and she gives glory to God.- Praise the Lord.

All right, Tricia ofWenatchee, Washington wrote in

and said: I was home sickyesterday, February 12th.

About three weeks ago, Iwoke up with severe pain

in my neck down to my left shoulder.

The doctor said it was a pinched nerve

due to damage in my upperspine and bones in my spine.

They called it cervicalnerve root disorder.

I'm a frequent watcher of "The 700 Club"

and I heard Pat say, "There is someone

"with left shoulder painand God is healing it."

I was overcome with emotion.

I've been praying and claiming victory,

and friends have been praying.

I received that healing

by lifting my arm as high as I could.

The pain kept getting less and less.

I'm reminded again thatwe serve a mighty God,

who loves us and is indeeda good, good Father.

Praise God.

- Now here's the deal.

God says if two of you on earth agree

as touching any thing that they'll ask,

it will be done for themby my Heavenly Father.

Now the Heavenly Father is here.

Jesus said, "Hithertoyou've asked nothing.

"Ask and you shall receive.

"Ask and you shall receive."

And with God, it's nothing.

He's the one who putforth the whole universe.

It's no big deal for theGod who made you to fix you.

And there's no good, no big deal

for the one who hasthe gold and the silver

and the cattle on a thousand hills

to give you the money you need.

It's no big deal forthe one who's in charge

of everything to heal your marriage.

He can do it.

Now we're gonna join together.

Now please pray with us.

Let's believe God together.

This can be the day ofa breakthrough for you.

So we'll join hands,- Yes.

- and Lord, we come before you now.

- Thank you, Lord.- We know that you are

God Almighty, and blessed Holy Spirit,

may the anointing of your presence

be upon people in this audience right now.

May we behold your glory.

Now Lord, we ask thatyou might do miracles.

Somebody, I believe the name's Mark,

you've got a stomach ulcer.

Just place your hand on your abdomen.

In the name of Jesus,that ulcer is leaving.

You're completely healed.

Wendy.

- Someone, you've beendiagnosed with fibromyalgia

and you have a lot of nerve pain.

God is healing you today.

You are being touched right now.

Just start praising Him.

That's leaving andlifting, in Jesus' name.

Thank you, God.- Somebody,

you've got Parkinson's.

Your hands are shaking.

You can't stop.

It's sort of a palsy.

Right now, God is reachingdown to your brain.

He's fixing the Parkinson's

and all of those tremors shall stop.

In the name of Jesus, touch.

- Wendy.- Someone,

you've had a cancer diagnosisand you're very afraid,

and the Lord is just saying what He said

to the man in that storywho was burned so badly.

He's saying, "I've got this."

Do not fear.

God is with you.

Trust Him.

He's got this, in Jesus' name.

Thank you, Lord.- The Bible says God is love

and he that dwells in lovedwells in God and He in him.

Today, we're coming upsoon to Valentine's Day,

a day of love, and rightnow, God is restoring love.

Some of you, you're praying,

"Will God ever give loveback to my marriage?"

The answer is yes.

He is love, not loving, He's love itself.

In the name of Jesus, maylove come into your heart.

May you sense the presence

of the love of the loving God.

In Jesus' name, receive it now.

Amen

- Amen.- and amen.

Praise God.

Give us a call.

We love to hear when you've received

something from the Lord.

We'd love to have your prayer requests.

We're here for you.

And there're folks on the phones

who just love the Lordand they love to pray.

Pick up the phone.

It's no money involved.

Just 1-800-700-7000.

1-800-700-7000.

Okay.- All right.

Well still ahead, getready for another round

of your questions and honest answers.

Tom asks: Do angels have free will?

Pat weighs in on the issues

that matter most to you, so stay tuned.

(dramatic music)

(uplifting music)

Just imagine 17 hours ofcooking and serving food

and you're not allowed tohave a single bite to eat.

Then imagine that you're astarving child in that situation.

That actually happenedto a boy from Myanmar

who lived and worked inhis mother's noodle shop.

(gentle music)

- [Terry] Nyny often watched

and even helped his momprepare food to sell.

But the nine-year-old was not allowed

to ask for any of it to eat.

- [Interpreter] I couldn't eat the food.

It was going to be sold to other people.

I could only imagine that it tasted good.

- [Terry] At the end of a 17-hour day

of cooking and selling,Tarlay, who is a widow,

earned only enough to give her two boys

a little rice with some fish sauce.

Then the landlord increased their rent

on this broken-down shack andthey were forced to move out.

- [Interpreter] There was no one

who could give me a little help.

I considered moving toanother country to work,

but I couldn't leave my children behind.

- [Terry] So CBN's Orphan's Promise,

working through a localpastor, provided some help.

First, we found them a new place to live.

Then, we set up a shop for Tarlay

to sell even more food.

Business has been booming so they expanded

and added a bicyclerental business as well.

Their income has increased more than 400%

and they no longer go hungry.

- [Interpreter] Now Idon't need to imagine

eating meat anymore.

I always feel full and happy.

- [Terry] Tarlay and herfamily, who were Buddhists,

also learned about Jesus andprayed to become Christians.

- [Interpreter] Thank you toeveryone who helped our family.

- And thank you.

If you are a CBN partner,you are responsible

for that little boy and hisfamily not going hungry anymore,

having a safe, comfortableplace to live now.

That's all because you said,"I want to help hurting people

"all over the world."

And I invite you to goto your phones right now

if that sounds like somethingthat you'd like to do.

If you're not already a CBN partner,

it's just 65 cents a day.

$20 a month is all ittakes to become a partner.

And when you do that,

we want you to havesomething very special.

It's called "Ten Laws for Success."

This is Pat's new book.

Keys to win in work, family, and finance.

And by the way, we just found out

that it is doing very well on Amazon,

number one right now we're told.

So we want you to have this book.

We will send it to you whenyou become a CBN partner, Pat.

- You know, as we werethinking about that little boy,

can you imagine, you've onlygot a little handful of rice

your mother can give you andyour little boy's all hungry

and they've only got alittle handful of noodles

and a little bit of chopped up fish

and that's all they haveto eat all day long.

- [Wendy] All day.

- You know, your heart breaks,folks, for people like that.

It breaks and, you know,how do you please God?

Well, you look afterthe poor and the needy.

That's what you do.

If you want to love God,

you reach out to the poor and the needy.

The families around theworld, we can't help them all,

but we can do one at a time.

And there's so many people.

So, again, please keep that in mind

when you join the 700 Club.

And by the way, Wendymentioned, I'm so happy.

I asked what this thing does on Amazon

and it said number one for something.

I don't know what.

- Yeah, in book sales, number one.

- Well that's kinda nice,

but there's sometremendous truths in there

that'll bless you so ifyou give to 700 Club,

we'll send you a copy for free.

And if you want extra copies,

you can get them from Amazon, so, okay.

That makes, makes me happy.- It makes sense.

Yes, makes me happy.

- Makes me happy.

A happy day, all right.

Happy Valentine's, happy whatever.

- Well we've got someinteresting questions for you.

Are you ready?

- I don't know.

Let me hear them.- Okay, Jessica says:

How do you know you have truly forgiven

your spouse for cheating?

How can you truly fallin love with them again?

Good question.

- Let me recommend this.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

How do I love you?

Let me count the ways.

I think what you need to do

is to start remembering thegood things about your spouse.

Has he been kind?

Is he a good father?

Is he a good provider?

Has he been there foryou when you were sick?

Has he been throughdifficult days, and so forth?

That's what you need.

And then you repeat that.

Yes, he cheated on you.

Yes, he's a human being and he fell.

But so do we all.

And if we want God to forgive us,

we've got to forgive others.

Think of the stuff you've done to God

and then you say, "God's forgiven me."

He doesn't remember that.

In the sea of His forgetfulness,

He's put all those things behind Him.

So you do the samething, you act like God,

and you say, "God's forgiven me

"and I'm gonna forgive my spouse."

But then start enumerating every day.

I love him because he's handsome.

I love him because he's a good provider.

I love him because he'sgood with the kids.

Whatever it is he's done good.

He plays ball with the children.

I don't know what he does.

Maybe he's a scoundrel andyou can't find anything good,

but do your best.

All right, what else.- Good advice.

All right, Tom says: I alwaysthought God created angels

to do His will and serve Him.

Do angels have free will?

- They have free will, but remember,

the angels don't have acloud between them and God.

Those of us who are human beings,

we don't see clearly.

As Paul said, we seethrough a glass darkly,

then face to face.

The angels see face to face.

Yes, they have freewill, but they freely...

The good ones serve God with joy.

The bad ones are demonsand they've been cast,

well they're cast out of heaven

and they're waiting final judgment.

But yes, they have freewill but it's a question of,

it's much more intensethan anything we've got.

What do you have?- All right, here's Danny.

He says: Hi, Pat.

First of all, I love "The 700 Club."

I watch it daily.

My question is, how can aChristian become possessed

if he has Jesus in his heart?

I believe if Jesus is in your heart,

then there's no room for a demon or Satan.

- I think you're rightand partially right.

If Jesus is married, your spirit is merged

with the spirit of God,then there's no way

some demon is going to take over

because you are givingyourself over to God.

But, you know, it'slike you're in a picnic

and you've gone to sleepand you're a Christian

and there's nothing that keeps an ant

from crawling into your ear.

The devil is always,he's like roaring lion

seeking whom he can devour.

So he's out trying to temptand destroy all the time.

So keep in mind, he willtry to discourage you.

He will try to bring trouble against you.

Look what he did to Job.

I mean, Job was a perfect man,

but God did everythingHe could to destroy him

and Job finally said, "Thoughhe slay me, yet I trust him."

That's the way.

You gotta always trust the Lord, okay.

- All right, Pamela says:

What can you tell meabout the ketogenic diet?

We live in a small townand don't have easy access

to health food stores or even a Walmart.

I need to lose quite a bit of weight

and I don't have access to a gym

or other exercise equipment.

I also deal with partialparalysis in my right foot

caused by a brain injury when I was four.

What is the best diet to be on?

Thank you and God bless.

- I wanna tell you, we got a book

that we probably still havecalled, "Build a Better Gut."

There's such a thing as a gut flora.

If you want to spendyour money on something,

get some of the littlemicrobes that cause,

probiotics they're called,and you need the pre-biotics,

so celery, cabbage, beans,that kind of thing, eat them.

They're a pre-biotic.

And the other, as far as ketogenicand all that other stuff,

the idea of ketogenicis you start ketosis,

which is something thatcauses the furnace to burn.

I've tried some of those keto things

and they leave, it's likethe ash in the furnace.

It doesn't quite get all absorbed.

I know there're better ways of it,

but I didn't really appreciate it.

Believe me, I've tried almost everything.

- Chicken soup and vegetables.

That's what Dr. Josh said.- Soup

and vegetables, amen.- Soup and vegetables.

- Well Today's PowerMinute is from Psalm 91.

For He shall give Hisangels charge over you,

to keep you in all your ways.

Thank you so much for being with us,

and Lord willing, we'llyou again tomorrow.

Bye-bye.
