- [Announcer] The followingprogram is sponsored by CBN.

- [Gordon] Coming up.

- I looked up and I told Dale, I said,

"Dale, is that a body?"

- [Gordon] A jet ski accident.

- He was bad off.

He was very serious.

- [Gordon] And a young man ispractically dead in the water.

- He had blood coming out of his ears,

he had blood coming out of his nose.

- [Gordon] Watch therace to save his life-

- [Tommy] Time was not on our side.

- [Gordon] And one dramatic recovery.

- And I said, "That'smy boy. That's my boy."

- On today's "700 Club."

(triumphant orchestral music)

Well, welcome to "The 700 Club."

We're going throughlocusts, dust storms, riots.

It's like we're living in Bible days.

And now we're back to the plague.

Coronavirus cases have nowhit a new record for a single

day, 40,000 new cases.

Hotspots are breaking out in Arizona,

Texas, and Florida, andthe majority of new cases

now among people under the age of 45.

- Wearing masks couldsave thousands of lives,

so why is resistance towearing them heating up?

Jennifer Wishon has the story.

(air whooshes)

- With states like Texasand Florida posting

record numbers of casesthis week, health officials

urge Americans to continuetaking precautions.

Unlike the early months of the pandemic,

the majority of new casesare in younger people

under the age of 45.

Most people who die fromthe virus are over age 80.

But the fear is asymptomatic young people

will pass it to older Americans.

- Usually when we see aspike in positive cases,

two weeks later, we often see

an increase in hospitalizations.

Four weeks later is whenwe see a jump in deaths.

- [Jennifer] And the CDC estimatesthat 20 million Americans

have been infected, roughly 10 times

as many as have been confirmed.

Texas reported more than 17,000 new cases

in the last three days, and a record

of nearly 5,000 hospitalizations.

Governor Greg Abbott is now pausing

the Lone Star State's reopening

and halting elective surgeries

in the state's biggest counties.

Florida is in a similar situation,

reporting more than 114,000 cases total.

But governor Ron DeSantissays part of the uptick

is due to increased testing.

- This is mass testing,regardless of symptoms.

- [Jennifer] Wearingmasks inside businesses

is only mandatory in a handful of states,

but health experts saythey're a necessary tool

for containing the spread of COVID.

A new model from theUniversity of Washington

suggests wearing masks couldsave as many as 33,000 lives

by autumn, but in newhotspots like Arizona, Texas,

and Florida, resistanceto masks is heating up.

- [Protest Speaker] Are yougonna allow the government

to tell you you have to wear a mask?

- [Protesters] No!

- It's our bodies, it's our choice

whether we're going towear them, not wear them.

You guys are oversteppingyour boundaries 100%.

- [Lorie] For some reason,masks have become political,

but the research isclear and overwhelming.

Masks prevent transmission by 50%.

So the overwhelmingmessage is, if you go out

and you can't socialdistance, wear a mask.

- Teams from the CDC aredeploying to hard-hit areas

to trace new infections andreinforce protective measures,

a strategy officials say helped slow

new infections in NorthCarolina and Alabama.

Jennifer Wishon, CBN News.

- The bad news on this aswe still are flying blind

in the middle of this plague.

We don't know the ultimateeffects of the virus.

Does it lead to long-term lung damage?

Does it lead to other organ damage?

And we still don't know.

So the best thing to do in this plague

is stay away from it and not get it.

If a mask can help you notcontract this horrible disease,

then, by all means, please useit when you're out in public,

You don't have to wear it all the time.

You don't have to wear itwhen you're driving a car,

you don't have to wear it in your home.

But when you go out to publicplaces, I encourage you,

please take whatever measures you can

to avoid getting this disease.

In other news, the Trump administration

has gone to the Supreme Court,

asking it to overturn Obamacare.

John Jessup has that storyfrom our CBN News bureau

in Washington.

John?(air whooshes)

- That's right, Gordon, the administration

made its case in a legalbrief filed Thursday

in a case brought by 20states led by Republicans

which is trying to completelyinvalidate the law.

The justices will hear oralarguments as soon as October,

just before the presidential election.

Two lower courts haveruled that the Obamacare

individual mandate is unconstitutional

after the 2017 RepublicanCongress eliminated it.

Both courts questioned theentire law without the mandate.

California and 19 otherstates led by Democrats

are defending the law.

Well, the high court gave President Trump

a victory Thursday, ruling seven to two

in favor of allowing the administration

to quickly deport some asylum seekers

instead of letting them maketheir cases to a federal judge.

The decision will apply tothose picked up near the border

who fail an initial asylum screening.

The ACLU quickly protested the decision,

saying it will make itmore difficult to question

the actions of immigrationofficials at the border.

Well, after days of high-level meetings,

the White House is still undecided

over whether to backIsrael's annexation plan

for parts of biblical Judea and Samaria

known as the West bank.

As Chris Mitchell reports from Jerusalem,

the stakes for Israel andthe Middle East are high.

(air whooshes)

- [Chris] After his White House meetings,

U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman

will continue discussions back in Israel.

He will work on the maps todefine the area of annexation

as laid out in PresidentTrump's peace plan.

But many Israelis say theword annexation is a misnomer.

- It's not an annexation, it's applying

the Israel law over this area.

- [Chris] Meir Deutsch of theIsraeli settler organization

Regavim says they need to knowwhat declaring sovereignty

over 30% of Judea and Samaria means

for a future Palestinianstate that could be located

in the other 70% of the area.

- If the only way ofIsrael applying sovereignty

over this area is the creation

of a terrorist statein the land of Israel,

we are against applyingthe law over this area.

However, if this is not part of a creation

of a terrorist state, sowe're definitely for it.

- [Chris] Less than fivemiles from Jerusalem

is Ma'ale Adumim, an Israeli city

of nearly 40,000 residentsthat would likely be annexed.

- In the city (speakingin foreign language),

people are very interested,they want the annexation.

- [Chris] But Yossi Dagan, head

of the Shomron Regional Council,

says while Trump is the bestpresident ever for Israel,

the Jewish state can't goagainst the command of God.

(speaking in foreign language)

- [Interpreter] The land of Israel

is a gift from the HolyOne, blessed be He,

to the people of Israel.

But this is not just a gift.

It's not just a promise ofprophecy and the prophets.

It's also a command.

We have no right torelinquish one centimeter

of the land of Israel.

No one has the right to demand

that we give up one centimeter.

- [Chris] Around 200 HouseDemocrats sent a letter

to President Trumpopposing the annexation.

The U.N. secretary-general warned

against Israel extending its sovereignty

over the area as early as July 1st.

- Annexation would constitutethe most serious violation

of international law, grievously harm

the prospect of a two-state solution.

- [Chris] Jordan's KingAbdullah also says annexation

is unacceptable, and thePalestinian Authority has warned

violence will break out if it happens.

But many Christian supportersof Israel also believe

the plan should goforward, with one saying

it's not annexation, it's Israel's land.

- I don't know anythingabout an annexation plan

being drawn up. I knowabout a sovereignty plan.

This is the Bible land andthat the Bible is not illegal.

Chris Mitchell, CBN News, Jerusalem.

- Thank you, Chris.

Gordon, back to you.

- Well, this is, in myopinion, it's recognizing

what's the reality on the ground.

We talk a lot about settlements,

but these are actually cities.

These are places that you have houses,

you have schools, you have businesses.

These are are Jewish areas.

And so, by Israel saying,"We're going to annex

or we're going to extendsovereignty over them,"

well, that's been the realityon the ground for a long time,

and it's been part the Israeli plan.

"We're going to establishsettlements in the West Bank,

and over time, we're goingto take that territory."

Keep in mind this, and it's something

that in all of the history,in all the turmoil today,

you lose sight of, and it's,you can sum it up in a phrase.

The Palestinians havenever missed an opportunity

to miss an opportunity.

How many times was it extended to them

to establish their own state?

And you go back to the British mandate.

You can go back to the Leagueof Nations and what happened

in San Remo back in 1920,

you can go back to that period of time.

They have never actuallytried to establish a state.

There is a very long history here

where they're motivatedby hatred of Israel.

It is anti-Semitism.

They have said for decades,

"Let us drive Israel into the sea."

They do not want a Jewish statein the Middle East at all,

and that's been the motivating factor.

And that's why you don'tsee a Palestinian state.

How many times does Israelhave to offer and be refused?

And the most significant one being

right after the Six-DayWar, where they literally

offered back the entire West Bank,

including Jerusalem,in order to have peace.

And that offer was refusedby all the Arab states

in the famous Three Noes,no negotiation, no peace.

They're not going to do this.

So we shouldn't be surprisedthat the Palestinians

are going to express angerand they're going to riot.

They're going to declare another intifada,

they're going to do all of these things.

But the reality on the ground is,

these are areas with Jewish settlements,

and so Israel is going toextend sovereignty over it.

And here's the other reality.

We're seeing, literally, Judahbeing restored to Israel.

These are ancient landswell described in the Bible.

They were Jewish 2,000years ago, 3,000 years ago,

and here we are in 2020, andthey're becoming Jewish again.

Terry?

- Well, still ahead, abody floating face down

in the water and a stranded jet ski.

What happened?

And how did a family's 4th of July

turn into a life-or-deathrace against time?

Find out. That story's coming up.

(air whooshes)But first,

justice for victims of police brutality.

What are the roadblocks,and why is winning

a conviction so hard to come by?

Stay tuned for the answers after this.

(urgent music)

- Justice for George Floyd?

Well, that's the outcry fromprotesters across America.

When prosecutors filedcharges in Floyd's case,

it was a step in the right direction.

But if the past is any indicationof how the case will go,

the road to justice willbe paved with detours.

John Jessup explains.

(air whooshes)

(thoughtful, chiming music)

- My dad was Eric Garner.

I just miss him a lot. I do.

- [John] Nearly sixyears after Eric Garner

cried out his last words-

- [Eric] I can't breathe!

- [John] Dying in abanned police chokehold,

George Floyd uttered the same phrase.

- I can't breathe!

- [John] Seen taking his last breath

in the now widely circulatedvideo under the knee

of former Officer Derek Chauvin,

charged with second-degreemurder and manslaughter.

While Floyd's case is just beginning,

some are pointing tothe outcome of others,

from Eric Garner to RodneyKing, as to what may lie ahead.

- Winning a conviction will be hard.

History does show that thereare clear challenges here.

- In the court of public opinion,

Derek Chauvin's fatemay already be decided.

The outcome, though, is farfrom certain when it comes

to weighing his guilt orinnocence in the court of law.

- You have to meet such a high hurdle

in order to hold themresponsible criminally

that most often, you're gonna see

a police officer walkout of that courtroom

and not suffer a guilty verdict,

and we see that time and timeagain across the country.

- [John] Brett Tolman worked several years

as a career prosecutor.

As U.S. attorney in Utah,he successfully tried

Elizabeth Smart's kidnappers.

Now, Tolman is building onreforms he pushed through

in the First Step Act.

(air whooshes)- Reducing crime

and raising standardsare not opposite goals.

- [John] Tolman says heviews congressional proposals

and President Trump's executiveorder as a starting point,

- They have good measures in them

for helping policeofficers respond better,

but there's not a lot in there

in terms of holding themaccountable when they don't do

what they're supposed to,or they do something wrong.

- [Officer] Go inside now!

- Get inside!- Get in the house!

(gun fires)

(woman shrieks)(officers shout)

- [Brett] And when we say wrong,

I'm talking about criminal acts,

and police officers docommit criminal acts.

- [John] Statistics back that up.

According to one database tracker,

police killed nearly 1,100 people in 2019.

And of all the 7,600police-related homicides

in the previous six years,99% resulted in no charges.

- John, it's amazing, because I know

of some dedicated prosecutorswho have really tried

to hold some police officers accountable,

but they run into hurdles,

- [John] Brent Orrell, whoworked on criminal justice reform

for President George W. Bush,says one of the obstacles

is that prosecutors aredependent upon the police.

- There's an intimaterelationship between police

and prosecutors that Ithink sometimes is too cozy,

and prosecutors don't want tohamper future investigations

and future prosecutions.

- [John] As someone whoworked inside the system,

Tolman agrees.

- You're, in a way, asking the fox

to take care of the henhouse.

- [John] Duffie Stone,head of the country's

largest association of prosecutors,

doesn't see it that way.(gavel taps)

- I have prosecuted police officers,

I have prosecuted public officials,

and you do that because that is the job

that you signed up for.

- [John] Stone blames thelack of clearly defined laws

on excessive use of forceand criminal penalties

for the lack of convictions.

- Talking to a numberof district attorneys

who have made chargesagainst police officers,

that's been one of the thingsthat have slowed them down.

It's not a question of whether or not

they're going to chargethe officer criminally,

it's with what.

- [John] That question made it difficult

to try the case againstformer Officer Michael Slager

in the 2015 shootingdeath of Walter Scott.

- The difficulty comes in the definition

of murder in South Carolina.

We don't have varying degrees of murder.

So putting it into that box of malice

is a burden that is oftendifficult here in South Carolina,

and probably in other partsof the country as well.

- [John] Scarlett Wilson,who also prosecuted

the Charleston church massacre,says clearly defined laws

would benefit juries as well.

- Because we don't have that,it makes it more difficult

for juries to understand.

It makes it difficult for prosecutors

and defense attorneys andeven officers as well.

The fact of the matter is,most of the time police,

do act appropriately.

- [John] Orrell says another consideration

is the public's hesitation to convict.

- We want to believe thebest about our police forces,

and what that leads to is thatsort of unquestioning support

for police action is a kind of reflexive,

the officer is not at faultand the person who was injured

did something to bringthat upon themselves.

- [John] And then there'sthe influence of unions,

which critics say protectsand keeps bad cops employed.

- I'm aware of many cases,John, where it's obvious

to anybody that this was a crime,

and the prosecution waspowerless to really investigate

the case because of thestrength of the unions.

- [John] Years of simmering mistrust

have led to drasticdemands, exposing a divide

in the broad spectrumnow calling for change.

- The American people donot want their police forces

defunded, they want them reformed.

And that's where we need tofocus our time and energy.

- While the overwhelmingmajority of police interactions

with the public are peaceful,this drive for reform

doesn't appear to be dying down.

- George Floyd is a case thatcertainly deserved attention,

and it deserved to be the catalyst

to set off reform that's very necessary.

He didn't have to die.

It was a minor violationthat they were responding to.

- Those pushing for changesay all of those factors

taken together, alongwith Supreme Court rulings

affirming police protections,tilt the scales of justice,

making it harder to holdpolice misconduct to account.

John Jessup, CBN News, Washington.

- Well, if we're going toget serious about reform,

well, we have to get serious about reform

and what are the obstacles in the way.

Last week, we bought you thestory about qualified immunity,

where on civil cases, theseare money damages cases,

you literally can't sue the police

when they violate yourconstitutional rights.

Just yesterday, there was another decision

handed down by a circuitcourt that officers involved

in putting an inmate in a cellthat was absolutely filled

with human waste and keepinghim there for six days,

that yes, indeed, that violatedhis constitutional rights,

that was unusualpunishment, but they upheld

qualified immunity, andthat inmate couldn't recover

anything against a whole series

of guards that put that on him.

And so, what do we do as a nation?

How do we solve this problem?

And it's a twofold problem.

Is qualified immunityjustified in all of these cases

where there's a clear violationof constitutional rights,

but there's no individual liability

on the part of the officers?

And it's like the courtsystem goes out of its way

to defend their actions.

And then, on a criminal case,

and that's what we're dealingwith with George Floyd,

these are now criminal murder charges,

how difficult it is toget to a conviction,

how difficult it is tofind an unbiased jury.

These are going to be obstaclesalong the way to justice,

but just because they're obstacles

doesn't mean we stopjust because it's hard,

and there's a lot to reform inour criminal justice system.

There's a lot of room for reform.

It means we are dedicated to it.

We have to say, "Let's come together.

How can we get something done?"

Now we have a political problem.

There's a police reformbill going on in the Senate.

The Democrats have nowrefused to even debate it

on the floor.

There's a rival version theDemocrats have put forward

in Congress, and all the indications are

that's dead on arrival at the U.S. Senate.

So we can't even come togetheras Republican and Democrat

to come to a solution, butthat shouldn't stop us.

We the people of the United States,

we get to decide the society we live in.

Can we agree that it would bewonderful to have a society

where nobody dies in police custody,

where nobody has unusual punishments,

there aren't unlawfulsearches and seizures?

Wouldn't that be great?

We put it in our Bill of Rights.

Can we actually have it inthe culture that we live in?

Now, protests, or find civil protests,

asking the government fora redress of grievances,

those are our rights as citizens.

We have that right under our Constitution.

We have the right to do that.

But we need to keep thatas civil disobedience.

It should not ever go into riots.

And I heard this quote last week

from Martin Luther KingJr., and I wanna play it

for you today, 'cause I thinkit applies equally today.

- I don't see the answerto our problem in riots.

So my slogan is not, "Burn, baby, burn."

My slogan is "Build, baby,build. Organize, baby, organize."

- Well, let's take thosewords and act on them.

How do we build a better society?

And how do we say, for ourchildren, for our grandchildren,

how can we have a better America?

Terry?

- Well, up next, blood pouringout of his ears and nose,

no pulse, and extremely labored breathing.

That's how a young jet skier was found

after floating face down in the water.

What clue did he give his mother

that let her know he would survive?

Stay tuned to find out.

Plus, we're gonna bepraying for you after this.

(triumphant music)

- Well, these days they'recalling for His statues

to be torn down.

What we're calling for is thatpeople look at the evidence

written in stone in Israelabout the life, the death,

the resurrection, the early church.

- Well, it was a beautifulday on the water.

22-year-old Kyle Hollingsworth had taken

his jet ski out for a spin.

That was something he'dbeen doing for years.

No one knows how Kyle fell off his ski,

or how long he'd beenfloating in the water

before he was found.

But it was enough time thathe should have been dead.

- [Narrator] Heading to the marina,

coastal South Carolina gamewardens Tommy Buckhannon

and Dale Tanner knew it'dbe a busy day on the water.

- We had an incoming tide.

Coupled with the inlet, itmakes for choppy waters.

Lot of people on boats,lot of people on jet skis,

very congested.

- [Narrator] Then, after twohours patrolling the waterways,

Officer Buckhannon spottedsomething about 150 yards away.

- I looked up and I told Dale, I said,

"Dale, is that a body?"

(boat motor rumbles)

And he turned at the sametime and said, "Yes."

He was face down.

- [Narrator] They pulled upto find a stranded jet ski

and a young man in his early 20s.

Another jet skier had alsostopped and helped them

pull the victim into the patrol boat.

There were obvious signs of head trauma.

- Just looking at him, he was bad off.

He was very serious.

He had blood coming out of his ears,

he had blood coming out of his nose,

had a pulse, but his breathingwas extremely labored.

- [Narrator] Officer Buckhannon tended

to the young man asOfficer Tanner navigated

through the heavy holiday boat traffic.

- Time was not on our side.

Both Dale and I, we were both praying.

I remember calling for a helicopter,

and I knew it was gonnatake that to get him

where he needed to beat the trauma center.

- [Narrator] The jet skiertook off towards the boats

clustered near BirdIsland, North Carolina,

looking for someone who knew the victim.

All he had was a last name pulled

from the registration numberon the victim's jet ski,

Hollingsworth.

- And all of a sudden, this guy comes up,

and he says, "Hollingsworth,Hollingsworth,

yellow ski, yellow ski!"

- [Narrator] Mark and Vonda Hollingsworth,

who'd been bringing theirfamily to Bird Island for years,

knew at once it was their22-year-old son, Kyle.

- "Was it bad?"

And he just looked at me, shook his head,

and said, "Yeah, it's bad."

And that's when it hit me.

First thing I said was, "Lord, help me!"

- [Narrator] Vondaimmediately jumped on the back

of the man's jet ski.

- I said, "Take me, take me!"

- [Narrator] As Mark andthe rest of the family

made their way to the marina,Vonda and the jet ski driver

sped towards the docks,where EMS was waiting.

- I was thinking, "It's gonna be okay,"

because Kyle's such a daredevil

and he just bounces back from everything.

- [Narrator] They arrived in time

to see Kyle loaded onto the helicopter.

- I saw the shorts that he was wearing,

and I could tell he was unconscious.

And so, at that moment,I knew it was Kyle,

and I knew it was bad.

And I heard the helicopter lift off.

I could not form thewords of a good prayer.

All I could say was, "Oh, God, oh, God!"

And I knew it wascompletely out of my hands.

- [Narrator] Waiting for Kyle's arrival,

trauma surgeon Dr. AntonioPepe and his team got to work.

Initial reports were not promising,

and they didn't know howlong he'd been in the water.

- At the time of assessingKyle, it was life or death.

Does he have a brain injury?

And the second one, and Ithink the most pressing one,

was the degree of anoxiathat he may have sustained

from a drowning in thiscase that would make

the recovery much less promising.

(monitor beeps)

- [Narrator] A CAT scan confirmed Kyle had

an epidural hematoma, ableeding around the brain.

Immediately, doctorstook Kyle into surgery

to implant a device in hisskull to monitor brain pressure.

If it got too high, they wouldhave to open up his skull.

Kyle was in ICU in amedically induced coma

by the time his family arrived.

- Dr. Pepe was like, "Let'sjust see how this goes.

He's really strong.

You know, I feel optimistiche's gonna wake up."

- [Narrator] If he didwake up, he could have

any number of neurological issues.

So the Hollingsworths reached out

to friends and family to pray.

- Everyone was praying.

Kyle's high schoolfootball coach showed up

at the hospital, and he starteda Mississippi prayer chain.

And Kyle had kids that he graduated with

that had gone to different schools.

It was just so far reaching.

- [Narrator] Five daysafter Kyle was admitted,

the swelling on his brain subsided.

Doctors removed Kyle's monitoring device

and weaned him off medication,but he still didn't wake up.

After another four daysof prayer and waiting-

- The head nurse came to me and said,

"Mrs. Hollingsworth, yourson pulled the restraints up,

twisted himself, and was off the bed

in a prayer position onhis knees, like this."

And I said, "That's myboy. That's my boy."

He has so much life in him,and when that happened,

I knew, at that moment, that God

was gonna pull him through this.

I had no doubt.

- He regained consciousness.

He was starting torespond, starting to move,

which is a great prognostic indicator,

that once you have neurological recovery

in a very early time frame.

- [Narrator] Kyle remembersnothing of the accident,

and not much of the hospital stay.

What he does remember ismeeting Officers Buckhannon

and Tanner the day of his discharge,

the two men who, through courage

and God's providence,helped save his life.

- I got up and shook their hand.

I wanted to tell them thankyou, and I had to show them

how appreciative I was of them.

- I would say it was an emotional moment.

But he reached out under his own strength

and shook my hand andhe mouthed, "Thank you."

It was very gratifying.

- [Antonio] There were so many factors

that could have gonewrong in this situation,

but Kyle didn't meet anyresistance the whole way through.

He just came straight through,and this is what we hope for.

- [Narrator] Today, Kyleis back out on the water

with his family.

While he might takethings a little easier,

he's still living thelife God has given him.

- He is my God and mySavior, and there's not a day

that goes by that I don'twake up and thank Him,

even when I take thefirst breath of the day.

- It was all prayers, andthe good Lord wanting him

to tell his story to somebody.

- No matter what happened,God deserved that glory,

because He intervened inso many ways for Kyle.

You know, when you hearthe cry of a parent's heart

when their child is insuch a desperate situation,

it just touches your heart, doesn't it?

And I believe it touchesthe heart of God, too,

as we cry out for our loved ones.

He knows our pain.

He understands our love for each other.

He recognizes our needfor intervention from Him

because He's the onlyone who can bring life

when death is so near, soimminent for some people.

And so there are manyof you today, I know,

who are crying out, crying out,

asking God to make a difference

in the situations thatyou find yourself in.

Maybe it's something like this,

where someone you love is ina desperate, needy situation.

Maybe it's a marital situation.

Maybe you have addiction issues.

What we know is God heals, andHe says that in this world,

it's not by might norpower, but by His Spirit,

and He has given us His Spirit,

and the power of His Spirit,

and Jesus accomplished what you need

to have done for youtoday 2,000 years ago.

So we want to take sometime to pray for you today.

What an amazing story of restoration.

- Yes.- God is good.

God is-- I've got another one.

This is a restoration.

Christina, June 4th, Terry,you had a word of knowledge

about someone with painin their lower back.

And you said that it hurtsto sit down or lie down.

"Well, I'm that person."Christina's that person.

"I have scoliosis, degenerativedisc disease, and arthritis.

It has hurt to walk,sit, lie down, roll over,

off and on for 15 years.

I lost my job as a nurse'saide as a result of it,

and I was in a wheelchairmost of last year.

I was crying out to God for help

after another slippeddisc and trip to the ER.

When I heard Terry, Iclaimed that healing.

I felt warmth in my back and was able

to bend forward, squat down, sit,

(Terry chuckles)lie down,

and walk with no pain aftera year in a wheelchair."

- Wow!- Hallelujah!

- Praise the Lord!

(Terry laughs)- That is awesome.

- That's a miracle, that's a miracle.

Well, this is Lisa.

She lives in Norcross, Georgia.

She works in the restaurant industry.

When her hands became severely arthritic,

she found it hard to continue working.

Due to crippling pain, sheeven lost her ability to write.

This went on for over six years.

One day she was watching thisprogram and she heard you,

Gordon, pray and declare complete healing

for someone with arthritis.

Well, at a recent doctor appointment,

Lisa had blood work done.

Her doctor confirmed herarthritis is completely gone.

- Hallelujah.

These are things medicalscience can't explain.

How do you explainsomeone who spent a year

in a wheelchair because ofscoliosis and slipped disc,

where do you go?

How do you explain Kyle?

Here he is, he's in a coma.

What's his reaction tobeing in that condition?

His body assumes an attitude of prayer.

He goes into a position of prayer.

What do you do when bad things happen?

What do you do?

Well, let me encourageyou, turn whatever it is

you're doing and turn it into prayer,

because God is the answerto every human need.

He does miracles. He doesthings we can't explain.

You know the old adage,"If we can explain it,

it's not a miracle."

But with Him, all things are possible.

Things happen with Him, in His presence,

that are absolutely astounding.

He spoke words, and life came to be,

light came to be, the universe came to be.

He does these things.

And here's the wonderful news.

He loves you. He wants todo these things for you.

And he's instructed us,let us pray that His will

would be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Now in heaven, is anybody sick,

anybody poor, anybody lonely?

No, that's not happening in heaven.

That's where God's will is being done.

We, as His ambassadors,as His authority on earth,

we get to pray it down.

So let's do that.

Let's assume an attitude of prayer,

no matter how bad the report is,

no matter what the doctors have said,

no matter how bad it looks,

you can never be toodead for a resurrection.

So let's pray and let's believe

and let God do what God does best.

He does miracles, andHe does them very well.

Let's pray.

Lord God almighty, we come to you.

And by the blood of Jesus Christ,

by His sanctification,by His righteousness,

we're able to enter into Your presence.

And so we come into Your presence.

We come into Your presence with joy,

knowing that You are theanswer to our every need.

Your very names have answers to our needs.

So we come to You, and we come today

and we ask for healing for everyone

who is watching right now.

Let Your healing power flow.

In heaven, we see thatthere's no one sick,

and so we ask, for everyonelistening right now,

let there be no one sick anymore.

We command, in Your authority,we command sickness,

disease, pain, infirmityto leave their bodies

right now, in Jesus' name, amen.

and the N-word todescribe Black Americans,

saying he couldn't wait.

- I was sickened by the vileand destructive language

used by these officers.

- The officers denied they were racist

and blamed their comments onthe stress of law enforcement

because of the protests over George Floyd.

Terry?

- Has COVID-19 had you and the kids

cooped up for weeks on end?

Well, now it's summer, and most pools

aren't open, camps are canceled.

So are you desperate forsomething to do with them?

Well, America's number onemom coach has the answer.

- In the 10-Day Coach Challenge. Now, I'm-

- [Narrator] Hannah Keeley, founder

of Mom Mastery University andthe mother of seven children,

understands the challengeof keeping your kids happy,

busy, and engaged duringquarantine and beyond.

- Share this, because there area lot of moms that are like,

"Oh my gosh. what am I gonna do?

They're already driving me crazy."

You're talking to a mom with seven kids,

veteran homeschooler. Igot you, you're safe here.

- [Narrator] In the 14-DayCoronavirus Family Retreat Kit,

Hannah shares tips andtricks to help your family

not only survive these difficult times,

but have fun doing it.

- Well, Hannah, on behalfof moms everywhere,

I welcome you to(laughing) "The 700 Club."

It's good to have you with us.

- Thank you so much.

I really appreciate this, so much fun.

- Well, as the mother of seven children,

you had your own setof parenting challenges

(laughing) before COVID.

What did you realizeyears ago that helped you

create a better life for your family?

- Well, it's funny,because we hear so much

about the negative aspectof quarantining at home,

sheltering here, and we forget

that God works all things out for good,

and so we can actually takeadvantage of this time.

What a perfect time toconsciously reconnect as a family.

- Sometimes I think people don't know

where to begin with that.

You're known as America'snumber one mom coach.

What's the scripture that's the foundation

of your coaching strategy, and why?

- Well, the scriptureis, "Do not be conformed

to the pattern of thisworld, but be transformed

by the renewing of your mind."

That way we can test andprove what God's will

is for our life is good,is pleasing, is prosperous.

That's in Romans 12:2.

And I believe that we can either conform

to the way this worldoperates, and you can see

that really doesn't getyou (laughs) anywhere,

or you can be transformed when we renew

our mind to His word.

And He designs for usto enjoy being together,

to enjoy our families andto glorify Him through it.

- And to enjoy the gift that life is.

You've gone beyond helpingmoms keep their kids

occupied in positive, meaningful ways.

You've helped women payoff debt, lose weight,

salvage their marriages, et cetera.

What do you say to them?

- I am truly, it's sohumbling to see what God

will do through one personwho is willing to say,

"Okay, let's do this.What do you wanna do?

I remember, in my own overwhelm, Terry,

I was just in the pit.

I was overwhelmed, I was depressed.

My house was cluttered.

I didn't know what to do.

And God really just instructed me,

just like He said, "Get up,pick up your mat and walk,"

He said, "Get up andfold up your clothes."

And that one littlecommand, when I'm obedient,

He started revealing moreand more and more to me

about how to really notjust survive this life,

but to thrive and enjoy it.

And through that, I just started

helping other moms createthat same abundant life

that Jesus wants them to live,

and it's just grown and grown.

It's totally His doing.

- Sometimes I think when we get stuck

in those places like you're talking about,

we just need somebody to say,

to come alongside of us and say,

"You can do this," and,"Let's start here."

You've created the 14-DayCoronavirus Family Retreat Kit,

and it's absolutely free.

Tell us about it.

- Yeah, absolutely, atFamilyRetreatKit.com.

We just created a kitto help moms right now,

families who are a bitoverwhelmed and like,

"Okay, we're at home, we'redriving each other crazy.

What do we do besides justscroll on our phones?"

There's so much we can do.

And we have a specialtheme for every single day,

supplies you can get, justthings to add a bit of fun to it.

Things from Self-Care Day,fun things like Retro Day,

we're all putting on leg warmers,

flashback to the '80s, having fun there.

So just a lot of activities you can do

instead of just seeingeach other every day

and saying, "Okay, what do we do?"

(laughs) There's so many possibilities.

- Well, and sometimes justhaving a plan is so helpful.

That's what you've reallycreated for us as moms.

So I don't have to comeup with some genius idea,

(laughing) I get to borrowyours and do it with my kids.

What are some of the things that your kids

have enjoyed the most?

- Oh, so many things,Terry, so many things.

Well, one day we hadArt Day and we decided

to get some canvases at the store,

they're super cheap,it doesn't take a lot,

some acrylic paints, andwe watched YouTube videos

to show us how to paintpictures and use acrylics

and use watercolors,and it was so much fun.

I would never show you the artwork.

It is not something that would be hanging

in a gallery (laughing)anywhere, but it was fun,

and it was just enjoyable to sit around

and do that together.

We've also played a lot of card games,

board games, we've gone outside

and done a lot of outdoor activities.

There's so many things you can do.

And you're right, whenyou're in the middle of it

and you're like, "I don'treally know what to do.

I've got all the kids here,I still have all the things

I have to do at home,the laundry stacking up.

I just need someone tocome beside me and say,

'Hey, girl, I got ya. I'lldo this thing for you.'"

So that's why we created this,

just so you would have a plan.

And it's very simple, like,

"Okay, today we're gonna do this."

Like today is Carnival Day.

Today, we're gonna be face painting.

But you gotta be careful with that.

I remember one time when Iwas doing this with my kids,

I have seven kids, and theywere really young at the time.

So we painted each other's faces

and I totally forgot about it,

went out to Target later,

(Terry laughs)and I got some really weird

stares 'cause I didn't realize my

face was pink! (laughs)

- You needed a mask!

(both laugh)

- I did, I did!

That would have come inreally handy at that time.

- (laughs) So how do ourviewers get your free download?

- Yeah, you can go toFamilyRetreatKit.com,

And also I have mywebsite, HannahKeeley.com,

it's pretty simple there.

And we're always doingthings on social media

to encourage moms andjust be able to laugh

through this and havefun and use this time.

Instead of griping our way through it,

we can just reallyenjoy this and have fun.

- Thank you, Hannah Keeley. It's amazing.

Folks, if you didn't get that connection,

(claps) go to CBN.com.

We'll have the Family RetreatKit information there.

Great to have you with us.

Thanks, Hannah.- Thank you.

- [Terry] Gordon?

- Well, we leave you withthis verse from Psalm 127,

"Children are a gift from the Lord.

They are a reward from Him."

Sometimes they don'talways act like a reward,

but keep in mind that they'll be with you,

and they will be a reward.

We'll see you again next week. God bless.

(energetic, inspiring music)
