(upbeat orchestral music)
- Well welcome folks to thisaddition of "The 700 Club."
Have you noticed thisbusiness about lockdown?
The economy is locked down,states are locked down,
you can't go after 10 o'clock at night,
you can't eat with morethan four or five people,
you can't go to sporting events,
they can't have anyaudience in the stands.
Why, because of COVID.
Well what is it this lock down does?
I was reading a reporton Hillsdale College
that's very excellent.
This is from a publicationcalled, "Imprimis."
And Jay Bhattacharya,
is a Professor of Medicineat Stanford University,
he has an MD and PhD in Economics.
He has had a distinguished career
and they have togetherwith them, with them,
look at this, I mean theyhave a group of people
that have come together,
about 35,000 distinguished citizens,
who said, "Listen, thislockdown is killing people."
Now here are the statisticsthat'll shock you,
you wanna get shocked?
Only about .04% of peoplewith COVID die from it.
The death rate is minuscule.
As a matter of fact, morepeople die from influenza
than die from COVID, all right,
but here's what hashappened by these lockdown.
An estimated 130 million,additional people,
will starve to death this year
because of the economic damage resulting
from these lockdowns.
People have stopped getting their children
immunizations againstdiseases like diptheria,
whooping cough, and polio,
because it's been led to fear of COVID,
they fear it more thanthose deadly diseases.
80 million, get this 80million children worldwide,
are now at risk of these diseases.
And many Americans withcancer who needed chemotherapy
don't come in for treatment
because they're more afraidof COVID, it is insanity.
And what's happened isthis particular report
said children should get out and play.
As a matter of fact theyfound that 40% of young people
were considering suicide,why, because they can't play,
they can't go to sports.
There is no reason in this world
that people can't goout and enjoy football,
or soccer, or whatevergame they're interested in,
baseball, and why we haveto shut these venues down
to a few thousand people whenthe stands would hold 70,000,
it isn't necessary.
Now, the elderly, the vulnerable,people in nursing homes,
they should be locked down,
but the kids outta go back to school.
We cannot stop childrenfrom going to school,
or from playing, but this iswhat's happening with the,
well when the bureaucrats take over.
And I think in California
they're having a tremendous kickback,
but the whole idea ofa lockdown is insanity.
So I just give you that.
And in that-- Do you think
people are adhering to this,
if you wanna call it that,
because they're afraid of therepercussions if they don't?
I mean, when, when a government,
or a government officialcreates a lockdown scenario,
I think people are afraid
of being arrested.- Well, of course they are.
- I mean, what did they do?
- But think what happens,
your little restaurant is closed up, okay,
so you don't buy vegetables,
so what happens to the poor farmer,
he can't work.- The laborers.
- Yeah, those laborers are out of work,
they can't harvest the vegetables
so they waste the vegetables
and it goes all the way through the chain
and people are suffering all over.
When what we oughta dois take the vulnerable,
those in nursing homes,
the extremely ill, onlythose that have had
some kind of a debilitating condition,
and put them in some kind of quarantine.
Let the kids go to school,let them play sports,
let them get out and then before long
we've got what you call a herd immunity.
And you know, we're not, wedon't have that big a threat,
but this lockdown isbureaucratic insensitive,
it's just insanity.
- Um-hum, yeah.- So.
- And I, I do think that, you know,
many people are doing what you're saying,
they're using their common sense,
if they have underlying conditions
they aren't out and about.
- Yeah, I mean, but for example,
you say you shop at abig-box store, it's okay,
you go to a little store,a little grocery store,
and it's not.
You can go into a big restaurant
and you can handle the vegetables,
just you can't do it in a little store.
I mean, the whole thing is just insanity
because it's not being based on science
it's being based on political correctness.
And I understand in termsof the schools in New York
it has to do with the teacher's union.
They had set a goal,
when they're over 3% of thepeople have got this COVID,
they were gonna shut the schools down,
if it's 2 1/2% they will open 'em,
I mean that again, insanity.
Well, that's my littleopening remarks to scare you,
or maybe make you mad andtell you that bureaucrats,
we could not run the countrybut by these bureaucrats.
Well, there's a flurry of activity
at the White House this week
with President Trump predicting quote,
"Big things" over the next couple of days.
The main question will the Supreme Court
hear an appeal challenging Pennsylvania's
mail-in voter law, and that's not all.
CBN's Washington reporter,Jenna Browder, has more.
- President Trump ispromising a big week ahead
as his legal team continuesto mount challenges
in states where the race was close,
but so far more setbacks than successes.
The Pennsylvania case challenges a law
passed by the legislaturethat allows mail-in voting.
The plaintiff arguing that it takes
an amendment of the Constitution.
If the high court hearsthe case and agrees,
it could invalidate most ofPennsylvania's mail-in votes.
Senator Ted Cruz, who has woncases in the Supreme Court,
told Fox New's, Sean Hannity,he would argue the case.
- In Pennsylvania theproblem was made worse
because the Pennsylvania Supreme Court
is a partisan democratic court
that has issued multiple decisions
that were just on theirface, contrary to law
and that's not how electionsare supposed to work.
- [Jenna] Meanwhile, at the White House
the President predicted evenmore activity this week.
- But you'll see a lotof big things happening
over the next couple of days.
- [Jenna] CBN Chief PoliticalAnalyst, David Brody,
spelled it out on CBN's "Faith Nation."
- The U.S. Supreme Court
could get involved inthe Pennsylvania case
and then you've got Georgia,excuse me, Georgia, Michigan,
what's going on in Michiganwith Antrim County and those,
the forensic audit of theDominion voting system machines,
we're gonna hear more aboutthat in the next day or two,
and then Wisconsin, there is a case
before the U.S., or theWisconsin Supreme Court.
So lots going on.
- [Jenna] And Arizona'shigh court has agreed
to review an appeal based on the state
Republican parties challenge
to the state certification of votes.
But so far legal challenges,on behalf of the President,
haven't met much success.
On Monday suits filed by Sidney Powell,
a former member of Trump's legal team,
were thrown out in Michigan and Georgia.
The suits claimed rigged voting machines
switched massive amounts ofvotes from Trump to Biden.
- Sidney Powell made herdebut in Georgia court.
Her case has been thrown outfrom the bench by the judge,
he didn't even take thetime to consider it.
Her case was so bad the federal judge
literally threw it outof court from the bench.
- [Jenna] Despite the President's calls
for the governor to intervene,
Georgia's Secretary ofState recertified the vote
that gave Biden the stateby nearly 12,000 ballots.
- We have now counted legallycast ballots three times
and the results remain unchanged.
- Today is the deadline forstates to ratify their electors
to qualify for safe harbor status.
That means Congress mustaccept the slate of electors
that have resolved their disputes.
At the end of the day though
the Supreme Court could be thewild card in this election.
In Washington, Jenna Browder, "CBN News."
- In other news Joe Biden
continues to put togetherhis potential cabinets
and one candidate hasconservatives up in arms.
John Jessup has more from Washington.
- That's right, Pat, Bidenis considering naming
retired four-star ArmyGeneral, Lloyd Austin,
as Secretary of Defense.
But it's his pick
to head the Department ofHealth and Human Services
that has conservatives sounding the alarm.
As California's AttorneyGeneral, Xavier Becerra,
has tried to requirepro-life pregnancy centers
to post advertisements for abortion
and to force religious groupsto pay for contraceptives,
the Supreme Court ruledagainst those policies.
The Reverend Albert Mohler,
President of SouthernBaptist Theological Seminary,
said, "Becerra is a threatto freedom of religion."
In his daily podcast, "The Briefing,"
Mohler said, "It would be hard to create
even in imagination a nomineefor this kind of position
who would be of deeper concern
for anyone who is pro-life, pro-marriage,
or pro-religious liberty,than Xavier Becerra."
If the GOP holds the Senate
Becerra's confirmation is expected
to face strong opposition.
Well Biden's would be foreign policy team,
would likely mark a profound change
in its approach to a potentiallyexplosive Middle East.
CBN's, Chris Mitchell,reports from Jerusalem.
- [Chris] Sunday markeda third anniversary
of President Trump'srecognition of Jerusalem
as Israel's Capital.
To celebrate Israeli Prime Minister,
Benjamin Netanyahu,put Trump's declaration
alongside President HarryTruman's recognition
of the newly born state of Israel in 1948.
- These two historic proclamationswill never be forgotten.
They'll never be forgottenby the Jewish people
and by the Jewish state,
they will be cherished for generations.
- [Chris] However, there are concerns
that some of the advances madeby the Trump Administration
could be changed, or even reversed.
So far Joe Biden has indicated
he would likely keep theU.S. Embassy in Jerusalem
if he becomes President,
but what about other Trumppolicies in the middle East?
Michael Oren is Israel'sformer Ambassador to the U.S.
- With respect to Iran,
both the former Vice President,
and his running mate, Senator Harris,
have said unequivocally that they intend
to renew the Iran nuclear deal of 2015.
If Iran returns to the levels
of uranium enrichmentestablished by that deal,
it's not very difficult for Iran to do,
and that means lifting sanctions
and that has profoundramifications for Israel
in the Middle East.
- [Chris] Netanyahu also noted
other positive moves madeby Trump on Israel's behalf.
- You recognize Israel'ssovereignty over the Golan Heights,
you recognize Israel's legitimate rights
in Judea and Samaria.
You proposed a realistic peace plan
that acknowledges those rights
and maintains Israel'sability to defend itself,
you forged the historic Abraham Accords.
- [Chris] Oren believesa Biden Administration
would not invest in those Accords
the way the Trump Administration has.
- I don't think they'regonna invest money,
for example, in buildingthe Israeli-Sudanese peace
because that belongs to the Trump era.
And again, the emphasis willbe on the Palestinian issue
and not on the Abraham Accords.
- [Chris] On the Palestinian front
Senator Harris has embraced a return
to negotiations with thePalestinians and stated,
"We are committed to a two-state solution,
and we will oppose any unilateral steps
that undermined that goal."
That signal's opposition to building
in the Jewish communitiesin Judea and Sumeria,
the West Bank, and restoring funding
to the Palestinian authority.
From Tehran to the West Bank,
it's clear a Biden/Harris Administration
would set a dramatically different course
than what President Trumphas for the past four years
for Israel, and the Middle East.
(clapping)
Chris Mitchell, "CBN News," Jerusalem.
- Well, Chris joins us now from Jerusalem.
Chris, it looks like those Palestinians
were blocking any deal,there was no way in the world
you could make a deal
and even the best thingsI remember, Yasser Arafat,
in the old days, he opposed everything.
And how in the world though,I mean the reason we got
The Abraham Accords is 'cause
they totally bypassed those Palestinians
and made a deal with the Arabs.
Well, how has the current uncertainty,
and power vacuum in the U.S.,
affecting Israel andaffecting the Middle East?
- Well, to your point, Pat, you know,
you met one time with Yasser Arafat,
and they were very intransigent then,
they still are now under aPalestinian president authority,
President Mahmoud Abbas.
In fact, I was talking toan expert earlier today
about the Palestinians,he said that PA officials
have been in touch withthe Biden Administration
and what they say theywant to do, or help to do,
would restore funding tothe Palestinian authority,
restore funding to UNRWA,
and also see what they can do
to restart the negotiations with Israel.
But as you say about the vacuum right now
I think, Pat, everyone right now
is recalculating, and watching,
and waiting this transitionperiod, this vacuum.
That would be Iran, Saudi Arabia,
the Palestinian authority.
Yesterday I asked Danny Danon,
he's Israel's former Ambassador to the UN,
about this period, this vacuum,
he said Iran is trying totake advantage of this period,
but said that Israel willdo whatever is necessary
to prevent Iran from gettingnuclear capabilities.
He said he couldn't beany more clear than that
and they're keeping awatchful eye on Iran,
especially now, Pat,after the assassination
of Iran's top nuclearscientist about 10 days ago.
And by the way, the other thingthat people are calculating
is I was in Ariel, that's in Samaria,
Israel's biblicalheartland a few days ago,
and they're building around the clock
in case Biden comes in, becomes President,
and he wants to stop building
in Israel's biblical heartland.
- Well, you know, thatUNRWA was so incredible
they kept those Palestinians in bondage
and the United Nations yearafter year, after year,
saying you have a right to return
and you, we'll give you back the land
that you abandoned in 1948,
it was insane what they were doing.
- Exactly, and they were payingUNRWA millions of dollars
and they defunded UNRWA right now,
and another thing, Pat, you know,
generations of Palestinian children,
we've documented this,
we've had kids on camera saying, you know,
I wanna return to my homeland,
I wanna drive the Jews into the sea.
So not, so what this,this funding was doing,
was actually training, indoctrinating,
a generation of Palestinian students
whether here in Jerusalem,the West Bank, or Gaza,
that they want to eliminatethe state of Israel
and that's exactly what U.S.taxpayer funds were doing
until the TrumpAdministration stopped that.
And I would add Pat, you know,
for the last four years,
really the Trump administration
has changed the whole paradigm here.
From Iran they hadmaximum pressure on Iran,
they get out of the nuclear deal,
the Palestinians as I say,they defunded the Palestinians,
and also the Abraham Accord,
so really they've changed theMiddle East in a dramatic way
in the past four years.
- Are the Israelis concerned
that this might lead to some kind of war
if the Biden Administration takes over,
that America will be soanti-Israel in those days?
- I think they are and I thinkthey're especially concerned
right now, Pat, aboutthe, the nuclear deal,
getting into the what's called the JCOPA
and I think the top concern for Israelis,
in fact, the top three concerns
would be Iran, Iran, Iran.
Across Israel's society and politics,
they see Iran as the number one threat,
so the concern is, Pat,
that the Biden Administration will come
and maybe even try to punish Israel
and soften its approach to Iran
and remove the maximum pressureof the Trump Administration,
reenter the nuclear deal actuallyfrom a weakened position.
Because right now what Iran is saying
is that they wanna reenter the deal,
but they want reparationsfrom the United States
for the years of being sanctions
under the Trump Administration.
So that would actually give wind
to the sails of Iran right now,
probably just at the wrong time.
- Well, Chris, one more time,
and we're, we look with horror
at what may be happening toAmerica in the Middle East.
Thanks so much for being with us.
Well, John, what you got next?
- Well, Pat, in the UnitedKingdom a major turning point
in the battle against COVID-19.
Today British health authorities
rolled out the firstdoses of a widely-tested,
and independently-reviewed vaccine.
The first shot wasgiven to Margaret Keenan
who turns 91 next week.
She had some helpful advice
for those worried about getting the shot.
- [Margaret] Well, I would say, go for it,
go for it because it's free
and it's the best thingthat's ever happened
at the moment, so, do please go for it,
that's what I say, you know.
If I can do it, well,so can you, you know.
- [John] The first 800,000doses of the vaccine,
produced by U.S. drug maker Pfizer,
and BioNTech of Germany,
are going to people over 80who are either hospitalized
or already have outpatient appointed,
appointments rather scheduled
along with nursing home workers.
Pat, she looked great for 90
and she said that that wasthe best early birthday gift.
- That's great, well,
we got some other stuff in there.
If you haven't scared people enough
you got something really horrible.
- Yeah, well, here we go with that.
Up next, a new, new world order,
the global elites areplanning to radically change
your way of life.
Think this sounds likea conspiracy theory,
well, we've got news for you.
Stay tuned for The Great Reset.
Plus on a positive note,
"Carol of the Bells"
performed by a family trained by Julliard.
The Annie Moses Band is coming up
and it may sound like somethingfrom "Christmas Vacation,"
but this was no joke.
A dad falls from his roofwhile putting up lights
and he nearly dies, see howhe made a miraculous recovery.
All of that's later on today's show.
(orchestral music)
- Well, that sounds likea science fiction movie,
but it's terrifyingly real,
what is called, The Great Reset,
is a plan to radically change our world.
But one man stands in the wayof the socialist nightmare.
Who is that one man, Dale Hurd explains.
- Here's a video of your future
if some people at the WorldEconomic Forum get their way.
They say you'll own nothingand be happy about it.
Energy will be green,rationed, and expensive,
and travel will be restricted.
Even your diet will be controlled
and currency will be digital.
This left wing dystopian dream is called,
The Great Reset, and yoursupposed to be excited about it.
The Great Reset has beenlabeled a conspiracy theory
and even sounds like a conspiracy theory,
but everything we know about it
comes from the global elites themselves
who have been quite open about it.
- This is not a conspiracy theory,
this is a well-documented movement
among many of the world'smost powerful people.
- [Dale] Justin Haskinsis a leading authority
on The Great Reset.
- Fundamentally, this is a radical
and complete transformation
of everything that we do in our society
to control people's behaviors,
to control businesses,
and to move society in the direction
that you wanna move it.
It will change the waybusinesses are evaluated,
it'll coerce businesses topursue left-wing causes.
- [Dale] The Great Reset was unveiled
at the World Economic Forumin Davos, Switzerland,
where many of the world'smost powerful people
go to offer solutionsto the world's problems.
And the World Economic Forumsees the coronavirus pandemic
as a historic opportunity
to change the way the world operates.
- [Man] Right now we're facing
a crisis of international proportion,
it's going to havelong-term impact for us.
- [Dale] Their solution isessentially global socialism.
Think of the Green New Deal combined
with the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions
and throw in something called,
The Fourth Industrial Revolution
in which technology issupposed to radically change
the way we live and work.
Klaus Schwab is the Founderof the World Economic Forum.
- What the 4th Industrial Revolution
will lead to is a fusion ofour physical, our digital,
and our biological identities.
- [Dale] It has the support,not only of world leaders,
but of global corporationslike MasterCard and BP,
brought to you by peoplewho think they know
what's best for you.
- By giving, you know, the elites,
the technocrats in society,the most educated people,
the ability to manipulate society,
pull the levers in society,
and manage and manipulate society
so that it's in their minds, perfect.
- [Dale] But a Trump re-election
would blow a massivehole in The Great Reset.
One week before the election,
Italian Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano,
wrote an open letter to the President
warning him that The Great Reset is,
"Inhuman faceless tyranny
that seeks to subdue all of humanity
and that President Trumpand the United States
are the wall against the deep state,
the final assault of thechildren of darkness."
- Over the past four yearsDonald Trump has been
the single greatest roadblock for people
who are pushing this internationalist
globalist sort of agenda.
- [Dale] The elites at Davos
are now counting out a Biden victory
for their Great Reset to go forward.
The World Economic Forum,and the Biden campaign,
even share the sameslogan, build back better.
- To build back better.
- It's also a phrase you've heard
being used by Justin Trudeau, by the Pope,
by Prince of Wales, and byleaders around the world.
- [Dale] English journalistand author, James Delingpole.
- You'd be amazed byhow many world leaders
are on board with this globalist plan,
even people that claim to be conservative.
This is worse than Nazism,
this is worse than communist,
and this is worse than fascism,
these guys are planning ontaking over the whole world.
- [Dale] We'll hear moreabout The Great Reset
when the World EconomicForum meets again in January,
and whether he's inthe White House or not,
Donald Trump is expected to be a force
which could remain a problemfor the hopeful backers
of The Great Reset.
Dale Hurd, "CBN News."
- Well, that sounds like something
out of the book of Revelation, doesn't it,
you can't buy or sell withoutthe mark of the beast.
I mean, there, there it is.
But you know, if you wanna control people,
you have one or two authorities to do it,
and I think Satan hasalways wanted to have
a very few elites who control everybody
and the will of the majorityis always a good thing,
but we don't have that.
But that those leaders in Devos,
they're the big money people,the big corporate heads,
the heads of government who meet,
we used to talk about The Bilderbergers,
and here you've got these others
and the question is they're not hiding it
they're laying it out on the line
exactly what they have in mind.
And folks, you talk abouthaving a need to pray,
it's still God's worldthat's the thing I like.
it rests me in the thought, you know,
with rocks and hills, it's your world,
this is my Father's world
and he's not gonna giveit over to the devil,
I do not believe, Terry.
- Well, still ahead on today's program
an unforgettable Christmas celebration
from the world famous Annie Moses Band.
You don't wanna missthis dynamic performance.
But first a 30 foot fallright onto his head.
Why the paramedics say it was useless
trying to help this dadand what saved his life,
find out when we return.
(orchestral music)
- Well, the holidays aresupposed to be happy,
but can they be a dangerousperiod in your life,
just ask Burt Sommer.
Burt was fixing a strandof lights outside his house
when he fell 30 feethead-first off his roof.
Kill him, well, find out,
it's a Christmas miracle.
- [Narrator] Thanksgivingnight, 2016, Burt Sommer,
a part-time pastor and father of five,
was fixing Christmaslights with his son, James.
Being a window specialist Burtwas used to scaling ladders,
but this time as he climbed tothe second story of his home
he lost his footing.
Burt's wife, Audrey, still remembers.
- [Audrey] The next thing I know
is I hear the tumbling off of the roof.
- [Narrator] Burt fell headfirst,
30 feet onto the concrete driveway.
- [Audrey] James was like, "Mom!"
- He wasn't responding whatsoever,
there was about a three foot area
where it was just coveredin blood, this is not good.
- I told him, I said,
you're just not gonna die on me,
you're not, you're not,you're not leaving us,
and then all of a suddeneverything went silent.
- My soul was just blowingup, in the name of Jesus, God,
protect him right now, raise him back up.
- And I was like, okay,God, I know this looks bad,
I know this, this really looks bad,
but I need you to takeover and I need you,
I need you to do what you do.
(sirens wailing)
- [Narrator] Paramedicsarrived within minutes,
but it would take another half hour
before they got a pulse.
Burt was then transportedto the nearest ER
where he was put into amedically induced coma.
Burt had suffered amassive brain hemorrhage
and without surgery wouldn'tlive through the night.
Even then one neurosurgeon
believed an operation would be pointless.
- He was like, "I am notgonna do the surgery,"
and I'm like, "Please do the surgery,"
and he was like, "He's gonna die anyway,"
and I said, "My husband is a beast,
you do your part and God will do his part,
and my husband won't do his part,
you know, don't count him out yet."
- [Narrator] Reluctantly,
the neurosurgeon agreed to thesurgery and it was a success.
The following day Burt'svitals remained stable,
but doctors were still concerned
about the possible residual effects.
- The left side was paralyzed
because of the impact onthe right side of the brain.
And they said that, "Youknow, it could be permanent."
I mean, they really,
they painted the bleakestpicture imaginable.
- [Narrator] It was thenthe reality of what could be
began to overwhelm the family.
- And when I see all these tubes
and him hooked up to all this stuff,
I was like, oh good God,it was heartbreaking,
it really was.
- What is going to be his quality of life?
What if he can't feed himself?
What if he can't walk?
What if he can't rememberhe has a wife and kids?
I finally just had toturn it over and be like,
"Okay, Lord, I can't do this,
I can't sit and what-if myself crazy."
"You know my doubts, you know my fears,
you know, you know everythingand you know, this man."
God just proved himself to me
and that he was the comforterand that he, he had it,
you know, he had this, thiswasn't anything for him.
He created my husband and he was going,
going to take care of him.
- I was like, you know whateverything's gonna be fine
'cause I know who my God is,
I know what he's doneand what he's capable of.
I've read it.
I've been taught it,and I've even seen it,
and if God don't do it, it's all good,
and God's still God.
- [Narrator] Alongside the Sommer family
church members and friendsfrom all over agreed in prayer.
- I really drew a lot of strength
from just our church people.
Whenever I just felt like I couldn't pray,
I couldn't pray anymore, they came in and,
and stood in the gap.
- [Narrator] Then 10 days after his fall
doctors brought Burt out of the coma.
even though he couldn't talk
Audrey knew immediatelythat her husband was okay.
- I was able to see the brown eyes
and he knew that I was there.
It was amazing, it wasamazing, I was like,
"Okay, God, you didn't failme, you know, he's here."
- I said, "Lord, I'mnot sure what happened,
I'm not sure, but I know I need you."
"Lord, I just wanna do your work again."
And he said, "You will, just trust me."
- [Narrator] In the weeks that followed
Burt continued to defy expectations.
- His personality, allof his formulas for work,
and all of the scriptures andthings that he had memorized,
everything just came back.
- [Narrator] On Christmas day
the Sommer family gathered at the hospital
and celebrated their miracle.
- God worked in an impossible circumstance
and that's how the miracle happened.
- It meant everything.
I mean, 'cause we could've very easily
been celebrating our firstChristmas without him.
And to be able to sit thereand have our children,
my husband and their dad,in total restoration,
it was magical, it wasreally truly magical.
- And I was getting better and quicker
and they had taken that fall risk,
that was on my wrist,that was a big deal to me,
I'm not a fall risk anymore.
I can walk, I can get up, I can move,
it just made me so thankful.
God can do a miracle anytime,any place for anybody,
and he chose me.
- [Female] No, no, no, no.
- [Narrator] A few days after Christmas
Burt was released from the hospital,
by March he was back at hisjob as a window specialist,
and by September hewas back in the pulpit.
- Hey, hey.(laughing)
- It doesn't matter what goes on,
it doesn't matter what doctors say,
people, no matter what, Jesushas the final say regardless.
- You never have toquestion God's character
he is who he says he is.
He is the healer.
He is the comforter.
- The Bible says he's nota respecter of persons.
God cares for the drugaddict on the street
as much as he cares for me,
as much as he cares for you.
If you need a miracle today
you could get your miracle today too.
- He should've died, but God says, "No,"
and that song, "WhoseReport Do You Believe,"
I'm gonna believe the report of the Lord.
Well, here's some testimonies
that have been called in to us.
These will build your faith
and we're gonna pray for you.
In her early sixties and without warning,
Ella of Philadelphia started experiencing
significant hearing loss.
She had to turn up the volumeon her phone and television.
While watching this program,
Terry said, "There issomeone with hearing issues,
don't think it's an injury,
but all of the sudden you'vejust begun to lose hearing,
God is restoring your hearing completely,"
and Ella said, that's me andGod healed her completely.
- [Terry] Well, praise the Lord for that.
This is Brenda, she livesin New Market, Alabama.
She says, "Hi Pat, I have a daughter
who was having some medical problems
with her pregnancy.
The doctors were uncertain
that the baby was going to make it.
Her lungs weren't fully developed,
and they thought thatwhen the baby was born
that they would have toput her on life support.
Well, a few weeks ago I waswatching, 'The 700 Club.'
I heard you say that therewas a woman out there
having some kind of medicalproblems with their pregnancy
and then you said, God ishealing that pregnancy.
I claimed that for my daughter.
She had her baby, ahealthy, beautiful little
6 pound, 13 ounce, baby girl.
She had no problems with her lungs,
and she was not put on life support.
Praise God!"
- God's loves you and before,
while you were in the womb, God calls you.
God's got his hand on the unborn,
on the elderly, on everybody.
And Terry and I aregonna join hands together
we're going to believe God for you
and we're going totrust God for a miracle.
So today can be yourday, let's praise God.
Father, we thank you forthese answers to prayer.
We know you're the God of miracles.
You formed us, you created us,
you put us together and you can heal us.
Someone has a digestive issue,
you've been having, it's like colitis,
and God has just healed you right now.
You'll feel a burningdown in the inside of,
your being touched, Terry.
- Yeah, there's someone,
you have been diagnosed withsome small tumors in your brain
and you've yet to determinewhat the prognosis is,
or what the treatment will be,
but God's healing those for you right now,
they're just going todissolve, they'll be gone.
Believe him, trust him, andbegin to worship him right now.
- Someone I believe the name's, Marsha,
you have what's called pleurisy,
you have a problem inyour lungs, an infection,
just breathe deeply and then cough
and from that moment on you're gonna be
completely healed, Terry.
- Yeah, someone else, youhave an issue with your lungs,
it's some kind of a,some kind of a growth,
or a coating on the inside of them
that does hamper your breathing.
You have a tremendous fearof COVID because of that.
God's healing that condition.
Just take a deep breath and exhale
and breath of heaven fillher lungs and make them well
in Jesus' name we pray.
- There's somebody, Ibelieve the name is Bernard,
and you are so discouraged,you are so discouraged,
and God wants to lift you up right now.
And he says, just begin to praise God,
look, lift up your hands,
wherever you are right this minute,
lift 'em up and start thanking God
and you will see a miracle.
All that heaviness isgonna taken away from you
in Jesus' name.
- And I believe there's another Bernard,
that you are-- Yeah.
- You don't know the Lord andyou live with tremendous guilt
because of the lifechoices that you're making.
Bernard today-- Amen.
- Make Christ your Savior,
Salvation has come
to your house-- Amen.
- In Jesus' name.
- Praise God, wherever you are,
please give us a call.

(upbeat jazz music)
- Welcome back to Washingtonfor this "CBN News" break.
Chuck Yeager, the legendary test pilot,
and world War II fighter pilot ace,
has died at the age of 97.
Yeager made history in 1947
when he became the first person
to fly faster than the speed of sound.
He flew for more than 60 years
and was awarded several military honors.
Yeager was born in a smalltown in West Virginia.
He once said, "I was just a lucky kid
who caught the right ride."
Well, this Christmas season
many are struggling due to the pandemic.
That's why one New Mexico tree lot
decided to forego sales andto instead give away trees.
The lot set up a, donatewhat you can system,
and for those who couldn't afford to give
they got a Christmas tree for free.
The lot ran out of treesin just a few days,
but not before it raisedabout $5,000 in donations.
Well, you can always getthe latest from "CBN News"
by going to our website at cbnnews.com.
Pat and Terry will be back
with more of, "The 700Club" right after this.
- Well, Annie Dupredidn't have to search far
to find uber-talented musicians
to make up the rest ofthe Annie Moses band.
In fact, she didn't have to search
farther than the dinner table.
She and her family areclassically-trained musicians
and together they bring an unforgettable
upscale Americana sound, take a look.
- [Narrator] Annie Dupreis a violinist and vocalist
whose love for makingmusic with her siblings
led her alongside with her family
to found the Annie Moses Band.
Known for their eclectic sound
these extraordinary musicians
have performed on stages around the world.
This Christmas you canenjoy the Annie Moses Band
perform stunning arrangementsof holiday carols,
when you download the CBN Family App.
- Well, Annie joins us now, via Skype.
Annie, welcome back to "The 700 Club."
- Hello, Terry, it's greatto be with you today.
- I understand that yourfamily is back touring again.
How does it feel to beback in front of a live,
socially distanced of course, audience?
- Well, it is wonderful tobe back out on the road.
Obviously every musicianloves the chance to perform
because what we desire to do
is bring joy to people in music,
and of course the Christmas season
is maybe the best time of year to do that
and so we love that opportunity.
We haven't been able to donear as extensive as a tour
that we normally do,
but still audiences havereally been craving live music
and so we find thateveryone is really ready
to get into the spirit of the season.
- Right, especially atthis time of the year
I think people are hungry
for the celebration that music brings.
Well, tell us about yourbrand new DVD series,
"The Wonderful World of Benjamin Cello."
- Yes, so the Annie Moses Band
has long had a missionin the realm of creating
godly works of excellencein the realm of the arts.
And of course the musicof the Annie Moses Band
was the very first foray for us.
We felt that God had a call on our family,
in the realm of music,
but as our families grew, wehave a lot of children now.
We have 15 grandchildrenwho are nine and under,
so it's a very growing family,
and we found that the mostimpacting media in our world
was the media that wewatch on our devices,
you know, almost everybody listening,
or even those who are gonna watch
the Annie Moses Christmas Special
on the CBN App, right,
they're watching it on the device,
and we said if we're going to capture
the imagination of the next generation,
we need to speak into that world.
And so my brother, Benjamin,
stars in, "The WonderfulWorld of Benjamin Cello,"
and it's something akin to" Mr. Rogers"
and "Mary Poppins," allkind of thrown together
in one magical imaginative world
filled with faith andthe truths of scripture.
- Well, your family seems so, so together,
not just in your performing,
but also in your vision, andthe call upon your lives.
We're gonna hear your familyperform in just a few moments,
but first tell us what Christmas was like
growing up in your household.
- Oh, it was a very sacred time.
I grew up with the ideaof family being together,
the idea of Jesus as the Bread of Life
and that there was kind of a depth
to the communion of Christmas,
of the family being gathered.
We grew up with Advent and the idea
of kind of looking towardthe coming of Jesus
and now when we have thechance to perform and tour,
of course, those traditions
take a different form thanthey did when I was a child.
But even now when we areable to perform the music
of Annie Moses Band, and these songs
that are really part ofthe canon of our faith,
you are touching something
that's very deep within the church
and my brother, Alex,
he talks a lot aboutthis scripture in Matthew
where Jesus says that he'sbringing something new
out of the storehouse,which is an unusual concept
because you typically think of the things
you store in the storehouseas being old things.
And yet part of what we do every Christmas
is bringing something newout of the storehouse.
And when you hear hopefully the music
of the Annie Moses Band,
and the, Oh Holy Night Christmas Special,
folks will be connectingto this ancient path.
This ancient idea that God came to earth
and his name is Jesus and we can know him.
- Beautifully, put Annie.
We wanna thank you for being here today.
We want the rest of you to know
you can catch the Annie MosesBand's Christmas Special,
right on the CBN FamilyApp, that she mentioned,
but right now for a sneakpeek at what you'll find there

And still ahead on today's show
time for another round of,
Your Questions/HonestAnswers, so don't go away.
(upbeat orchestral music)
- Well, it's that time,email questions for you,
and this first one comes from Andrew.
He says, "Hi, Pat, I'veprayed for many healings
for the past five years,
and I watch your program five days a week,
You, Wendy, and Terry mention items
I've asked healings forand I have claimed them,
but those healings have not happened.
Why?"
- How can I tell you why,
I don't know, I don't know, you know,
if I regard iniquity in my heart,
have you done something wrong,
or do you, do you haveresentment in your heart
towards somebody else,
are you truly believing,are you surrendered?
I mean, there's so many things,
you said why don't youget my prayers answered,
go before the Lord and say,
"Lord, teach me, show me,show me," and God will,
he will show you exactly andput his finger right on it.
And if you're willing toobey, you'll find a miracle
and that's what, ask him, say, Lord,
don't ask me, you askGod, okay, all right.
- This is Cheryl who says,
"John 20:23 in the NIV says,
'If you forgive anyone'ssins, their sins are forgiven.
If you do not forgive them,they are not forgiven.'
Does this mean that if someone I wronged
is holding a grudge againstme and has not forgiven me,
my sin against them is unforgiven?
Even if I've asked them to forgive me,
but they're choosing notto, so I'm not forgiven?"
- You know, a lot of times we,
we read into the Biblepersonal message to us.
The Bible says Jesusmet with his disciples
and he gathered them together,
he said within, for you guys,
if you forgive sins, they're forgiven.
But I think broader, the bigthing was binding and losing.
The, the whole idea is to the,
if you bind a regulation on somebody
then it's bound in heaven,
if you loosen it's loosed in heaven.
So as the church, we havethe power to lay on people
the obligations, or we havethe power to take them off.
But in terms of that, yousaid that's personal to me,
no, it's not, it was said
when Jesus was meeting
with a small group of his disciples, okay?
- This is Pat who says, "Please help me.
Most of my family are not saved.
My sister-in-law just died,
and my concern is that she was not saved.
Her son keeps saying, atleast she's in heaven now,
but is she?
According to Jesus, theonly way to the Father
is through Jesus.
What do I say?"
- Look, it's not for you to say
what somebody's ultimate destination is.
You just say, well, look Ipray you're right (laughing)
and you know in your heart they're not,
because there's only oneway to come to the Lord
and that is through being born again,
except a man be born again heshall not enter the kingdom,
he shall not see the kingdom of heaven.
So if a guy's not born again
he's not going to heaven, bottom line,
but you don't have tobe the ultimate judge,
say it's in God's hands, and it is.
I mean you don't know the answer,
but maybe he cried out to God for he died,
you don't know.
Here's one last one.
- Okay, this viewer says,
"I gave my life to Jesus in March of 2015.
It's been a constantstruggle with the devil.
My wife's not saved,
it makes it that muchharder to live with her.
I keep asking Jesus to touch her heart.
I try to talk to her,but she doesn't really
wanna hear what I have to say.
How long should I keepliving in this environment?"
- Until she leaves?
The Bible says, if theunbeliever is pleased to depart,
let 'em depart.
The brother or sister isnot bound in that case
and if they don't leave,
you made the decision,oh buddy, it's yours,
(laughing) so just pray
that somehow the Lordwill lead her to the Lord
and in the meantime you getright with God's yourself
and maybe by your godly example
she'll see something inyou that's so wonderful
and wanna know how come.
We'll leave you with, Today'sPower Minute, from Proverbs.
"If you help the poor, youare lending to the Lord,
and he will repay you."
Hey, tomorrow, we've got special editions
of, Your Questions/Honest Answers,
