- [Announcer] The followingprogram is sponsored by CBN.
- [Wendy] Coming up, themeteorologist on a mission.
- I wasn't seeing thenews stories out there.
- [Wendy] Janice Dean wantsjustice for her loved ones
and she has Governor Cuomo in her sights.
- I felt like it wasn't being covered.
- [Wendy] Then a forbidden romance.
- What I had tried, I liked.
- [Wendy] She tried to keep it secret.
- But I lived a double life.
- [Wendy] What was shehiding from herself?
- I was absolutely terrified.
- [Wendy] On today's "700 Club."
(dramatic music)
- Well, welcome to "The 700 Club."
On today's program,
we're gonna tell you abouta nutty conspiracy theory
that the House of Representatives
literally is not in session
because they're afraid ofsome riot taking place.
Well, we'll talk about that later
but the question is
when will American life return to normal?
Well, the answer is as soon
as the vast majority of us get vaccinated.
So which of the three availablevaccines should you take
and why is one under fire?
Medical reporter, Lorie Johnson,
brings us to an exclusive interview.
- Now that three vaccinesare available in the U.S.,
President Biden and health experts believe
there will be enough tovaccinate the adult population
by Memorial Day.
The key will be getting shots in arms.
- For me as a scientist,who's also a Christian,
this an answer to a lot ofprayers and it feels as if
this is the way in which Godis helping us get through this.
- [Lorie] NIH Director Dr.Francis Collins tells CBN News
people should take
whichever vaccine isfirst offered to them.
- The vaccines, which I've had a big part
in helping get developed,
have been tested in the mostrigorous imaginable trials.
They've been shown safe and effective.
- [Lorie] That includes avaccine from Johnson and Johnson
which is under fire for using a cell line
from a decades-oldabortion in its creation.
- And certainly the Catholic Church,
as represented by theVatican, has said it is moral
for individuals to takeadvantage of such vaccines
if in so doing, they maybe helping save lives.
And we do believe all ofthese vaccines can save lives.
- [Lorie] He explained thecells from the original abortion
have been continuously replicated in a lab
to the point where they're now thousands
of generations removed.
- Some people are, I think,
troubled by the idea that the vaccine
that's going into theirarm had that history.
It does not have any of those cells in it,
but it has that history ofhaving been used in that way.
And I understand therefore,
why some will look at theJohnson and Johnson vaccine
and think maybe that's notthe one I would prefer to get.
- [Lorie] For now, however,people cannot choose
which vaccine they get.
- I would be reluctant to suggest
that anybody should just wait
until they get the one they like
'cause that might be waiting a while.
In the meantime, peoplecan still get sick.
- [Lorie] Collins seespeople taking the shot
as a way to love thy neighbor,
especially those with medicalconditions preventing them
from getting or fullybenefiting from the vaccine.
- This is not just aboutsort of self-serving,
"I want to be sure I don't get sick."
It really does come down to,
are we going to take part in something
that will help others around us?
- [Lorie] He calls the coronavirusvaccines a gift from God.
- We humans, as God's children,
have been given the tools ofscience to kind of come up
with our own way towork through God's grace
to provide an opportunityto prevent suffering
and I think that's what vaccines are
and have been all along.
- [Lorie] So while we now know
America will have an amplesupply sooner than expected,
it's unclear how many willchoose to get the vaccine.
Lorie Johnson, CBN News.
- Well, you can watch the entireinterview with Dr. Collins
at our website, cbn.com.
And I might say when I was a little kid,
everybody got vaccinated against smallpox.
It was just a standard thing.
We've all got littlescars, right? (laughs)
- Well it was done,
at least when I was growing up, in school.
- You had to have it.- Class-by-class.
The full shot-- But I mean,
smallpox was so virulent and so horrible.
But they wiped it out essentially
because of these vaccinations.
And the term, vaca, comesfrom cow, by the way,
and that's Spanish for cow.- Speaking Spanish for us.
- Yes, Spanish.
You gotta give 'em Spanish lessons.
- Every day we get a lesson. (laughs)
- All right, (laughs) vaca, vaccines,
that's where these things come from.
But anyhow, I totally recommendthat everybody get it.
I'm waiting myself forthe Johnson and Johnson
because it's one shot rather than two.
My wife is on the other one.
She's got one and one more coming up
and she's had no ill effects.
A little soreness in the arm,
but other than that,there's been no problem.
And as Dr. Collins said,
these things have been rigorously tested.
But boy, COVID is just deadly.
It is the most horrible thing,what it does to your brain,
what it does to your muscles,what it does to your lungs.
- And the residual, thereseems to be a residual-
- Exactly-- Effects, yeah.
- I mean, it could leadto Alzheimer's, bad stuff.
So get the vaccine.
Well, in other news, the Senate is racing
to pass President Biden'sCOVID relief bill.
So who will be getting these $1,400 checks
and why is the presidentaccusing four governors
of acting like "cavemen," "neanderthals"?
John Jessup has more.
- That's right, Pat.
President Biden is blasting governors
for lifting mask mandates.
So far four states making that move.
The president calling it,"neanderthal thinking."
Meanwhile, not as manyAmericans will be getting
those $1,400 checks if theCOVID relief bill passes.
The Biden administrationagreeing to a proposal
to lower the income cutoff.
Now individuals makingmore than $80,000 a year
and households more than 160,000
won't be getting the addedboost to their bank accounts.
And, Pat, a vote is notexpected on the bill
before the weekend.
- Well, I hope they don't putthat Christmas tree in there
with all those other provisions.
I mean, it was just awishlist for the Left
and they want to givemoney to failing schools.
They want to give money to doing research.
They want to give moneyoverseas to companies
that were studying genetics.
The amount of stuff that's in there,
so much for PlannedParenthood or whatever,
million, billions,
and the question is a wholetrillions dollars going out
that's gotta be repaid.
The thing was just a monstrosity.
In terms of the minimum wage,it has to be area-by-area
because a lot of small businessescan't pay the minimum wage
and that means millions ofpeople might lose their jobs
if that is put in effect.
And so it's not a good thing.
It's nice to say let'spay our workers more
and if you can afford it, by all means.
If you want to hire teenagers
and pay them good wages,well, be my guest.
But at the same time,
don't put a federal mandateacross the entire nation.
A big mistake.
John.
- Pat, the FBI is warningof another possible plot
to breach the United States Capitol.
Security officials and Houseleadership taking no chances
after the January 6 catastrophe.
This as lawmakers are still investigating
what went wrong that day.
CBN's George Thomas has more.
- After the securityfailures on January 6th,
authorities are taking threats
of another Capitol breach seriously.
This new one reportedlyfrom a militia group
inspired by a conspiracy theory predicting
that former PresidentTrump would return to power
on March 4th, the day U.S. presidents
used to be inaugurated on before 1933.
The intel alert describing aplot by violent extremists,
"To take control of the U.S. Capitol
and remove Democratic lawmakers."
- We issued a bulletin lastnight, coauthored with the FBI
about extremists discussingMarch 4th and March 6th.
- [George] House Democratsconcerned about safety
canceled today's session.
The Senate plans to convene at noon.
U.S. Capitol Police takingthe intelligence seriously.
- We have enhanced our security posture.
We've taken immediate stepsto let the National Guard
as well as our workforceknow what to expect.
- [George] One Republican lawmaker
urging the former president
to send a message to his supporters.
- President Trump has a responsibility
to tell them to stand down.
This threat is credible and it's real.
- [George] The threat comingas lawmakers are investigating
the January 6th Capitol attack.
Democrats wanting to knowwhy it took the Pentagon
more than three hours todeploy the National Guard
after getting frantic requestsfrom Capitol Hill Police.
D.C. National Guard ChiefWilliam Walker told senators
that top Army leadersdelayed over concerns
about the image of guardsmansurrounding the Capitol.
- The Army senior leaders didnot think that it looked good,
it would be a good optic.
They further stated thatit could incite the crowds.
I was frustrated.
I was just as stunned aseverybody else on the call.
- [George] And yet a few monthsbefore the Capitol attack,
during protests afterGeorge Floyd's murder,
General Walker testifiedthat optics weren't an issue
in deploying D.C.'s National Guard.
- Was the issue of optics ever brought up
by Army leadership when theD.C. National Guard was deployed
during the summer of 2020?
- It was never discussed.
- [George] 26,000 guardmembers were initially deployed
after the Capitol attack.
Some 5,200 troops nowremain in Washington.
George Thomas, CBN News.
- All right, thank you, George.
The White House is warning Iran
it's considering a military response
to the attack on an Iraqi air base
where U.S. troops are stationed.
An American contractordied from a heart attack
during Tuesday's nighttime rocket attack.
It all comes as Iran
and the United States arenegotiating a return to talks
over the regime's nuclear program.
Former Secretary of State MikePompeo told CBNs David Brody
that the Biden White House is giving up
significant advantages wonby the Trump administration.
- You just mentioned theword appeasement to a degree
when it comes to Iran, would you believe
this Biden administration isin the appeasement business
when it comes to dealing with Iran?
- So far, they have takena terrorist organization
that is underwrittenand sponsored by Iran,
the Houthis that exist in Yemen.
Iranian backed to be sure.
No one disputes that they're terrorists,
no one disputes that andyet they de-designated them.
We saw last week thatthey gave a wink and a nod
to what appears to be anenormous financial relief
to the Iranian regime.
We put massive pressure on the regime
and it looks like they'regonna allow billions of dollars
in wealth to go from SouthKorea and the IMF into Iran
and essentially take afoot off the stranglehold
that we had on the Iranian regime.
This is not a good start.
- Last week, the United States struck
at Iranian-backed militia in Syria
in response to a previous attack.
Well, the International CriminalCourt is launching a probe
against Israel and Hamasfor alleged war crimes
by both sides during the 2014 Gaza War.
The move drew sharp criticism from Israel
and praise from Hamas.
- It's undiluted antisemitismand the height of hypocrisy.
Without any jurisdiction, itdecided that our brave soldiers
who take every precautionto avoid civilian casualties
against the worst terrorists in the world,
would deliberately target civilians.
It's our soldiers who are war criminals.
(Hazem speaking in foreign language)
- [Interpreter] Hamaswelcomes the decision
to open an investigationinto the Israeli war crimes
against our Palestinian people.
- [John] The ICC prosecutor believes Hamas
attacked Israeli civilians,
used its own people as human shields
and tortured political rivals.
She also believes, Pat,
Israel responded withdisproportionate force
against Palestinian civilians.
- Look, I want to say something.
You know,
our head of our AmericanCenter for Law and Justice
was actually in court
because the United Statesrefuses to be subject
to that International Criminal Court.
We just say, "No, you have nojurisdiction over us period."
And I think Israel is the same way,
but Israel is unfortunately too small.
But I think this CriminalCourt is just a joke.
And
we have said, "No way,
you're not gonna come after our soldiers.
You're not gonna blame them for war crimes
in the middle of some combat operation.
You're not gonna do it.
We will not submit to you."
And I wish Israel will do the same thing.
John.
- Pat, Kentucky residents aredealing with the devastation
of historic flooding this week.
Rivers rising to heightsnot seen for decades
after getting four to seven inches of rain

At least 49 counties haveissued disaster declarations.

- Well, coming up, theFox News meteorologist
who's on a personal crusadeagainst Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Janice Dean talks about the terrible loss
of both her in-laws to COVID-19,her own struggles with MS
and tells how she keeps her sunny side up,
even in the darkest of times.
Plus, a wife makes a shockingconfession to her husband.
She admits to an adulterousaffair with another woman.
So what happens next?
Stay tuned to find out.
(dramatic music)
(determined orchestral music)
- Warm and friendly,
Janice Dean delivers herweather forecast on Fox News
with a sunny smile.
But now she's in the mediaspotlight for a serious reason,
her personal crusade.
Guess what?
Against the New York Stategovernor, Andrew Cuomo.
Janice lost both ofher in-laws to COVID-19
in New York nursing homes.
CBN's Jenna Browder talked
with Janice about finding thelight during very dark times.
- There's no way JaniceDean could have forecast
the dark times aheadin 2020 for her family.
She lost both of her in-laws to COVID-19
and there were other ups and downs too,
but still, she managed to findand is finding the sunshine.
- And I'm glad you're leading with weather
because this is a huge story.
- [Jenna] The warm and wittyFox News meteorologist writes
about all of it in her newbook, "Make Your Own Sunshine,
Inspiring Stories of PeopleWho Know How to Find Light
in Dark Times."
And dark times she certainly knows.
- One of the terribletragedies that happened
during this past year is welost my husband's parents.
Both died of COVID in separateelder care facilities.
Never in a million years,would I have thought
that something like that couldtake their lives so quickly.
And it was terrible,
there's no way to describeit any better than that.
- [Jenna] Since their passing,
Janice has been usingher platform to speak out
against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo,
who's under federal investigation
for his handling of thevirus in nursing homes.
The scrutiny growing by the day
and now reaching a boiling point.
- The truth is everybodydid everything they could.
- I never wanted to be a political person.
I'm the meteorologist on Fox.
No one knows who I voted for,
I don't comment on politicalmatters on television.
But I started learning more
about Governor Cuomo's executive order
to put COVID-positivepatients into nursing homes
for 46 days, and we arefinding out more information
that it was over 9,000 ofthose infected patients
that went into nursing homes.
And I wasn't seeing thecoverage on television,
I was learning this after my in-laws died.
We had no idea that there wasthis executive order in place
and I wasn't seeing thenews stories out there.
I felt like it wasn't being covered.
- [Jenna] Janice wantsanswers for her family
and all of the others who lost loved ones.
In the book, she writesabout finding the light
in life's hardest moments.
Janice features everyday heroes,
from the teacher whocut her student's hair
to the Uber driver who helpeda new mom buy baby clothes.
- Every chapter is basicallyabout a story about somebody
who did something kind for someone else
and many of them pass it along.
- [Jenna] That's whather husband did for her
when COVID nearly squashedher 50th birthday.
- Yes, I was going tocelebrate my 50th birthday
in Las Vegas.
I had planned, you know,dinners and outings and dancing
with my closest girlfriends.
And it came to ascreeching halt obviously,
we couldn't do that.
So my husband planned
this wonderful birthday for me
and
I never expected it.
- [Jenna] She describeshow he decorated their home
like a casino, arranged a car parade
and even set up Zoom dateswith her coworkers and friends.
- [Janice] And I wrote about it
because it was somethingwe were all going through
and it was a moment where myhusband went outside of the box
and did something so special.
And to me, it was probablythe best celebration
of my 50th year on this planet
and it happened to begoing on during a pandemic.
- I know you talk aboutyour own battle with MS
and you feature some other people
who are also struggling with it,
couple of questions,one, how are you doing?
And two, on this topic of sunshine,
how do you cope with that onsome of your tougher days?
- It's a good question
and I did write about twowonderful ladies in the book
about having MS and andhaving a chronic illness.
We don't have a cure for it.
I'm doing well.
You know, I've beendiagnosed now for 16 years
and, you know, I've had bumps in the road,
but I'm, knock wood, relatively well.
I mean, I have a great neurologist.
I'm on a new therapy
that I've been on fora couple of years now,
which has been working well for me.
I just actually had a newround of MRIs done on my brain,
which is something thatwill tell my neurologist
if there's any new lesions on my brain.
And I am clear, so that that's great news.
But I think something like that,
being diagnosed with a chronic illness
or going through challenges,their health challenges,
it does make you appreciateevery single day.
I know that every day that I wake up
and I put my feet onthe floor and I get up,
I mean, I'm grateful for that.
- [Jenna] Janice says writing this book
was actually healing for her in many ways.
- Well, just the fact
that we were goingthrough such a dark moment
and it made me appreciate the kindness
that was happening duringthat terrible time,
from the school principalcalling us and checking in
to see how we were doing,
to the local firefighterwho brought us a meal
and left it on the doorstep,
to strangers,
strangers who sent me cardsand, you know, prayers.
- And she hopes it will behealing for readers too,
who maybe need a little encouragement
or that extra shot of sunshine.
In Washington, Jenna Browder, CBN News.
- Thanks, Jenna.
Janice's book, by the way,
is called "Make Your Own Sunshine."
She has some tremendousendorsements here from Ginger Zee,
Jake Tapper, Martha MacCallum,
Kathy Lee Gifford and Lou Holtz.
- [Terry] Wonderful.
- If you got to get some endorsements,
there's some pretty good ones.
All right, wherever books are sold.
Very good.
We got an incredible story coming up now.
You wouldn't believe it,but it really is true.
Terry.
- Well, she cheated on herhusband with another woman.
So what happened to her
when her girlfriend then cheated on her?
And what was the wake-upcall that set her straight?
See for yourself, it'sall right after this.
(somber orchestral music)
(hopeful orchestral music)
A raw craving for intimacy,passion, total fulfillment.
When Kim Zember didn'tfind that in her marriage,
she left her husband for another woman.
So did that quenchKim's insatiable desire?
No way.
Just watch.
- I just knew what I had tried I liked
and so it had created almosta craving now within me.
- [Reporter] Ever since middle school,
California girl KimZember had felt different
than other girls.
Growing up in a loving Catholichome with two older brothers
she preferred sports to makeup.
Then, in high school,
she heard a rumor that afriend of hers was gay,
which brought otherfeelings to the surface.
- I started for the firsttime thinking maybe I was gay.
I was drawn to this girl
and yet I knew that what God said,
the scriptures were clear that, you know,
acting on homosexualdesires was not in His will.
And so it was a wrestle for me
but it didn't stop the feelings I had.
- [Reporter] So one nightat a party her senior year,
Kim kissed her friend.
Turns out the girl wasn'tgay and ended the friendship.
For Kim, however-
- I just knew what I had tried, I liked.
And so it had created almosta craving now within me
and I felt like from that momenton, saw women differently.
- [Reporter] So after high school,
on her own and building asuccessful career in real estate,
Kim started having secretrelationships with women
even while dating men and going to church.
- I really was cravingsomeone to be intimate with,
that would love me, care for me
and that I could love and care for too.
So I lived a double life for years.
- [Reporter] Confused and ashamed.
Kim turned to a Christiancounselor for help.
- I was told that that's kind of who I am,
that I shouldn't fightit and that God loves me.
- [Reporter] Then at 21, Kimstarted dating a Christian man
who inspired her to live out her faith.
- It didn't take away my desires for women
but I did love who he was.
I saw Christ in him.
I could see Jesusliterally within this man
and I loved him.
- [Reporter] Kim says itwas then God led her to move
to Ethiopia with her boyfriendwhere she taught English
and started a nonprofit.
- It was in Ethiopia thatmy heart started opening,
that I started seeing pastmyself and into other people.
I didn't really have a desire for women
when I was walking in purposeon purpose and for a purpose,
there was very few distractions
- [Reporter] That changed very quickly
after they returned to the States
and her boyfriend proposed.
- I was absolutely terrified.
I knew that I was using this man.
I knew that I was stayingwith him to not be alone.
I loved who he was, but I was not in love.
I didn't know what todo 'cause I didn't know
what my life would look like without him.
- [Reporter] In 2009, they married
but Kim still struggled withher attraction to women.
A year later, she had an affair.
- I had promised God,the night I got married
that I would never cheaton him with a woman.
I made a promise to God, butI didn't ask God for help.
And I broke that promise'cause it's one I couldn't make
and I couldn't fulfill on my own.
- [Reporter] Kim admitted toher affair and they divorced.
She also went back to counseling.
- The advice that I got was,"This is who you are, live it.
God loves you."
And I heard so much abouthow much God loves me
that I thought, "Well, whyam I not loving myself?"
And so I embraced the lifestyle.
- [Reporter] No longer in the closet,
Kim spent the next few years bouncing
from girlfriend togirlfriend, afraid to be alone
and still searchingfor intimacy and peace.
- Everybody told me that onceI would openly date women
and stop hiding and stop cheating
that I would finally findfreedom and I didn't.
I think it honestly was worse for me
because now I was livinga lifestyle openly
that I knew was not right.
In the depths of my being, I knew.
- [Reporter] Then, in the fall of 2014,
Kim discovered her girlfriendhad cheated on her.
That pain was the wake up call she needed.
- I realized not onlywas I hurting myself,
I was hurting so many people.
My family, the people I was dating,
my ex-husband and I was done.
I knew, I knew that God did not create me
to go around hurting people like this.
And so the only option Ihad, in my heart and my mind.
was to surrender.
And I said, "I'm done, God, I surrender.
I give up.
And I just, I want you to be God.
I want you to be Lord over my life,
Lord, over my desires,Lord over everything I got
because I can't do this anymore."
- [Reporter] Kim invitedGod to help her deal
with her struggles, not justin that moment, but daily.
- I started to encounter Himin this real tangible way
that I never knew.
I knew a lot about Him, butI didn't know him personally.
And when I asked Him to beLord of my life on my own,
I started to experience Him.
I felt this intimacy that Iwas craving in the physical
or in the deepest part of me,
was now actually being fulfilled
in a way I never heard about.
And so it was absolutelylife-changing for me.
- [Reporter] Kim continuesrunning her ministry in Africa
and is now what shenever thought possible,
a happy single woman
who has found truecompanionship in Christ.
- Jesus Christ himself wastempted and never fell.
And so for me,
I'm not looking for alife free of temptation.
I'm just thankful that I have a savior
that is greater thanany temptation I face.
And that's why He wants meto journey with Him every day
because I don't know whattemptations are ahead of me.
God created happiness.
He created fullness and Hecreated us to live in that,
but we cannot find it without Him.
We cannot find it separatedfrom Him in any way.
- Boy, what Kim says is reallyfor all of us, isn't it?
I mean, it's what surrender is all about.
When we call God, Lord of our lives,
when we say, "Jesus, I wantyou to come into my life
and be Lord," we'regiving ourselves to Him.
And what we're saying inthat moment of surrender is,
"Not my way, but your way."
You know, it's an acknowledgement
that God created us aspecific way intentionally,
purposefully, and we're saying,
"I accept that.
I accept who you are.
I accept the majesty of who you are.
I accept the wisdom of who you are
and I'm gonna take myfeelings, my emotions
and I'm gonna subjugate everythingthat I am and have to you
because you are Lord.
Lord of my life, Lord of all."
There's a knowingnessof who God is in that,
that we don't get
when we're just beingreligious or spiritual.
It's a relationship, soit's coming close to Him.
Close, close, close to Himand saying, "I surrender."
And you know, you're saying you surrender
to someone who knew you,according to His word
before you were ever formedin your mother's womb,
who understood who you would be.
Someone who understands our struggles,
somebody who understands our willfulness
somebody who understands our selfishness,
understands all of those things
that we struggle within ourselves every day.
I find it so interesting in Kim's story
that in all of what she shared
about the early part of her life,
one of her great fears was being alone.
You know, you can be withpeople and still feel so alone.
Here she is, a single woman today,
fulfilled in a way that she'snever been fulfilled before
and she's not alone
because she walks everysecond of every day
with the Lord of her life,the savior of her soul,
the one who loves herwith an everlasting love.
You can't replace thatwith something else.
There isn't anything that compares to it.
So if you're listeningto Kim's story today,
I hope you heard clearlyhow changed her life was.
Her heart, her mind, herunderstanding of who she is
and who the God is who loves her.
And walking with Jesusis an everyday adventure.
Oh my goodness, life can be so difficult,
so challenging, so painful,
but when you're walkingwith Him, it's an adventure.
Every day is fresh and an opportunity.
Every time we have an issue where we fall,
or we make a mistake
or we aren't surrenderedto Him in the moment
because we are flesh, He gets that.
He loves us anyway, but we geta new beginning, a restart.
You know, we're coming up on Easter.
It's all about resurrection.
Yes, Jesus died for our sins.
Yes, He suffered unimaginably for us,
but on Sunday morning, on Sunday morning,
new life for every one ofus, for all of our days,
for all eternity withHim if we'll receive it.
If you haven't asked Jesusinto your heart and your life,
ask Him today.
Not just a perfunctory prayer, surrender.
Just say, "Jesus, I know you're it.
I want you.
I want more of you.
I want everything you have to give.
I want my sin to be forgivenso I can have a fresh start."
Ask Him now, "Whosoever will may come."
You know, it doesn'tmatter where you've been,
what you've done, Hisarms are open to you.
Invite Him into your heart today.
If you do that and you wantto know how to walk with Him,
Pat's prepared this greatlittle packet for you.
It's filled with wonderful information.
It's called "A New Day, What Now?"
After you invite Jesus into your life
how do you begin this relationship,this journey with Him?
This is free,
so is the phone call toget it, 1-800-700-7000.
Just call and say, "I'dlike the "New Day" packet.
We'll send it out to you right away.

The House passed H.R.1, a massive voting bill
that touches on nearly everypart of the electoral process.
The measure aims to createa nationalized voting system
requiring uniform rules for all states.
For example, requiring early voting
and same day registration
while also outlawing voter ID requirements
and allowing ballot harvesting.
Republicans say the bill makes it easier
to manipulate elections anddifficult to detect fraud.
It now heads to the Senatewhere it needs 60 votes to pass.

Well, Daniel Hoyos thought he knew
how to manage money the right way.
His wife, Jacqueline said,"No, there's another way."
So what happened when Danieltried it his wife's way?
You're about to find out.
(soft music)
- [Reporter] Daniel and JacquelineHoyos love spending time
with their three children.
- I love my family.
They are a top priority in my life.
- My kids have given usa whole different way
of looking at life and the world.
- [Reporter] Daniel grewup in Queens, New York
where he learned how to manage money.
When he got a job in digital media,
he put that knowledge to use.
- When I received apaycheck, I would save it.
And I would also invest instocks, mainly through 401k
because I was afraid to lose my money.
- [Reporter] Jacqueline,on the other hand,
had a different idea about money.
She had tithed all her life
and encouraged Daniel to do the same.
- When I heard about tithing,giving 10% of my income,
I just thought it was excessiveand I refused to do it.
- And he had a reallyhard time with that 10%.
He was like, "10%, thatseems significant."
I prayed that the Lordwould truly show him
that He was the one that wasgiving us all of the things
that we were surrounded by.
- [Reporter] Meanwhile,Jacqueline was expecting
their first child.
Daniel was in the processof looking for a new job.
Then one Sunday, Danielheard a message about giving
and Jacqueline's prayers were answered.
- And I decided I was gonna tithe.
All of it really belongs to God.
It's amazing that He entrusts us with 90%,
but I realized, "Wow, like10% actually is not a lot."
- [Reporter] Just one weeklater, Daniel got a new job,
one that came with a promotionand a 50% salary increase.
- So when I gave 10% of my salary,
I knew that God had blessedme with this job offer.
And I knew that He wassaying, "Trust me, son.
Trust me with your finances
because I'm gonna providefor you no matter what."
- I absolutely think that him tithing
was one of the main things
that led the Lord toblessing him in that way.
And I honestly think it'sbecause he needed it.
He needed the Lord to showhim that He had his back
and that all blessingstruly come from Him.
- [Reporter] Daniel andJacqueline continue to tithe
and God continued to bless them.
- The Lord opened every door.
I mean, immediately, it was just easy.
- [Reporter] Daniel and Jacqueline credit
their success to giving.
One ministry they supportis the Superbook Club.
They love how it helpstheir children learn
about God and the Bible.
- I actually really enjoy it as well.
It's just a fun way to share the gospel
and make the word ofGod exciting to my kids.
- [Reporter] The Hoyos familysay they've been blessed
and it's all becausethey made the decision
to manage money the right way.
- He's been so faithful to us.
I mean, we've seen it over and over again.
He comes in and justcompletely blows us away
with His blessings.
- What I've realized about God
is that you can't out give God.
The more you give of your finances,
the more He's gonna provide.
To trust God with moneyis really to trust God.
- Well, what do they say?
You take a teaspoon and ladle it out,
God takes a shovel and throws it back in.
You can't out give God.
Just try it sometime, seeif you can out give Him.
There's no way.
He said, "The gold is mine.
The silver is mine.
The cattle on a thousandhills, it's all mine.
And prove me with yourtithes and offerings,
if I won't open the windows of heaven
and pour you out such ablessing you can't contain."
Daniel found that that was true.
And for your own life, just give it a try.
You know, the one time,the one time in the Bible
we're told to test God, tempt God,
you're not supposed totempt God, it's a sin.
But the one way, the one time God says,
"Prove me with tithes andofferings if I won't do something.
I want to open the windows of heaven
and pour you out such ablessing you cannot contain it."
So God is offering you, tryit and see what happens.
And by the way, we're here asa recipient of God's grace.

I mean, I'm not holding back anything

I mean, it's out there, brutal.
But we also talk about thepresidential elections,
we talk about all kinds of things.
I mean, it's a compendium ofhow we used to do television
and what happened in the early days
and Ted Turner and JimBakker and all that stuff.
It's all in here.
It's amazing what theLord brought to my mind
when I was writing this book.
- That is absolutely true.
So join The 700 Club, get your copy.
- Okay, all right.
- Up next, what will Patsay to this question?
Amy asks, "My teenage son isrude to me, insulting me often.
My husband never stands up for me.
What should I do?"
Pat will have an honestanswer to that and more
when we come back.(uplifting music)
(upbeat music)
Okay, time for your email questions.
Pat, this is from John who says,
"For the past two years,
I've been experiencing haunted dreams.
How can I get rid ofthis demonic oppression?"
- All right, first of all, John,
you are recognizing that it's demonic.
That's a big start first,you know that it's demonic.
Well, what does theBible say about demons?
Jesus gave his disciples authority
over the demons to cast them out.
They went out and they healed people
and they cast out demons.
So the Lord has given you theauthority to cast out demons.
He is more powerfulthan all demonic forces.
Now, if you need help, thenget a few people together
who really believe in the Lord.
Don't don't get somebody around you
who doesn't believe in anything
because it'll do you more harm than good.
But in terms of demonic power,
you have in your mouth the power.
If you speak the word, "Satan, I bind you
and the forces of evil andI command you to leave me,"
that is what you can say.
"I
bind you
in the name of Jesus Christ
and I command you to leave me alone.
Satan, I bind you and the forces of evil."
All right?
- Okay, this is Amy who says,"My teenage son is rude to me.
He does things like dumpingdirty sponge water on my head
and insulting me often,but nothing violent.
My husband never stands up for me.
He often makes fun of me
and doesn't view me as worthy of respect.
I pray about this often.
We've been married 20 years.
What should I do?"
- Well, I tell you, if he was my kid,
I'd knock the daylights out ofhim, that's what I would do.
Do you say well, physical-- Not violent.
- He isn't, but that kid,you ought to smack his face.
You ought to get him punished.
And if your husband won't stand up,
you say, "Look, you take careof me or I'm leaving you."
I mean, this is outrageous.
- Yeah, it's pretty-- Well, you know what they did
in the Old Testament whensome kid was that bad?
Do you know what they did?
They took him out and stoned him to death.
I mean, that was the punishment.
- Disrespect of parents.
- I mean, throwing dirtydishwater on his mother's head,
are you kidding me?- But the father kind of-
sets the precedent.- Well, I mean,
if the father doesn't do it.
That child, whoever's big enough,
oughta just lay it to him hard.
I mean, obviously when hewas growing up, you know,
"Bring up a child in the way he should go
when he's old, he won't depart."
You spare the rod and you spoil the child.
"The rod of reproof drivesfoolishness far from them."
I mean, we say we shouldn'tuse physical punishment.
Yes, you should.
But in this case he needs it badly, okay?
- That's pretty amazing.
Okay, this is the viewer who says,
"Could you explain whenbaptism first originated?
I know the Jews did it, but wasthere another race of people
before them that did it?
Was there another reasonthe baptism was done
and what purpose did it serve?"
- Well, they had one of those religions
where they put somebodyunderneath a platform
and they had a bull and theykilled the bull over the top
and they let the blood flow-- Let the blood
flow over them.- Yeah.
I mean, the whole ideaof you being immersed
in something else has goneon for quite some while.
But I know John the Baptist was baptizing,
and where did he find out about it?
There's something aboutthe symbolism of baptism
that you're immersed in somethingand then you rose again.
But there was I thinkthe mystery religions
did do that sort of thing,
but that's the only one I'm familiar with.
I'm sure there areothers that did as well,
but the whole idea isit's kind of a burial.
I mean, the whole idea ofbaptism is you're buried
and then you were raisedto get a newness of life.
That's what the symbolis so it's easy to do it.
All right, what's next?
- This is Harry, who says,
"What do you do when thegovernment forces you to sin?"
- Well, I don't know that the, you know,
the Apostle Peter made it clear.
He said, "Where there'sright in the sight of God
to obey you than to obey God, you decide.
But as for us, we canonly serve the Lord."
I really believe that you just, I mean,
I don't know what thegovernment is forcing you to do.
I think you're overstatingit, frankly, all right?
- This is Kevin, who says,
"What is the meaning of Matthew 13:12
in the new King James version?
'For whoever has, tohim more will be given
and he will have abundance.
But whoever does not have,
even what he has will betaken away from him.'"
- If you have read my"10 Laws of Prosperity,"
you find the Law of Use,which is so important.
If you use what you have,you will have more of it.
If you exercise yourmuscles, you will have more.
If you invest your money,you will have more.
If you do not, if youdig a hole in the ground
and put it in there, you willlose what you think you have.
And, I mean, I'll give you an example.
If I work my hand like this and I exercise
and my biceps will grow.
But if I bind my hand to my chest,
in a matter of maybe five or six months,
I won't be able to even raise a tea cup
because I'll be way weight.
That's what it's talking about.
Whoever has more will be given.
It's a fundamental law of theLaw of Use, the Law of Growth.
It's absolutely fundamental.
Well, today's PowerMinute is from Psalm 37,
"Delight yourself in the Lord,
and He shall give you thedesires of your heart."
Well tomorrow, in and outof 20 different psych wards,
a young woman is miraculously delivered
from bipolar orschizophrenia, in an instant.
You don't want to miss it.
We'll see you tomorrow, bye-bye
