(soft tense music)
(dramatic music)
- Well, welcome, folks.
I start this program with whatthis amounts to, a sad note.
The greatest nation onthe face of the earth
is without a president.
His,
well, declining intellectual capacity
has become so great that one poll shows
at least 50% of the Americanpeople have questioned it.
This is the man that hasto run the greatest nation
on the face of the earth.
Take a look at some of these examples
of what he's been doing.
- I want to thank you bothand I want to thank the,
the, the, uh, former general.
I keep calling himgeneral, but my, my, uh,
the guy who runs that outfit over there.
I want to make sure we thank the secretary
for all he's done to try to implement
what we've just talked about.
And I'm happy to takequestions if that's what you,
I'm supposed to do, Nance.
Whatever you want me to do.
(staff softly chattering)(cameras clicking)
Vast majority of economistsleft, right, and center,
from Wall Street to the,
to the private, private, uh, uh,
uh, economic, uh, polling initiatives.
- That is the presidentof the United States
who's got to be in chargeof the greatest economy,
the greatest nation onthe face of the earth.
And without question, heis intellectually impaired.
He's got senile dementia, andwe have him as our president.
So you ask yourself:Who's running the show?
Now I want to show you ascripture from the Book of Isaiah
'cause I think it's important:
"As for my people, childrenare their oppressors,
and women rule over them."
Now let's start withchildren are your oppressors.
Who's trying to have thenegative impact on our nation?
Who has led these riots?
Well, mostly, they're kids.
They're teenagers and young men and women
that are causing the problem.
Children are your oppressors.
Now who is in charge?
There are two women who are in charge.
One in charge of the WhiteHouse is Kamala Harris.
The one in charge of theCongress is Nancy Pelosi.
They are the ones are runningthis government right now,
exactly what the Bible said.
I mean, I'm not anti-woman.
I'm all for women beingin charge of whatever,
but the fact that, with thepresident out of action,
women, these two women,
Kamala Harris is running the White House,
Nancy Pelosi is running the Congress,
and they are pushingthrough this radical agenda.
And, oh, you know, the president,
unfortunately, is mentally impaired.
He no longer is able to function.
And as I understand, a Rasmussen poll,
50% of the American people arequestioning what's happening.
It's a sad day for Americabecause the decisions
that have to be made day by day by day.
And 36, 36 Democratic congressmen said,
"We want to take his handoff the nuclear trigger
because we're not sure he's capable."
But he's got to run the military.
So, what's he going to dowith pressure coming on him?
We're not sure.
But we're dealing witha crisis in this nation,
and if there was ever atime for prayer, now is it.
But we sort of get what we ask for
and this is what people asked for.
They wanted to get ridof Donald Trump, okay.
And they wanted to put inthese radical Democrats,
and that's what they've got.
But what, the othernations around the world
are not taking this lying down.
They have a whole lotbetter spy system than we do
and they knew exactly what'sgoing on in the White House
and they are totally aware of it.
Now, what's China been doing
since Joe Biden has taken office?
Let's take a look rightnow at this report.
(logo whooshes)
- The Chinese governmenthas signaled it's happy
to see Joe Biden in the WhiteHouse instead of Donald Trump.
But does it see Biden as a pushover
because of his administration'smany business ties to China?
And could that somehow leadto a military miscalculation?
Some experts believethese are dangerous times,
with the Chinese government probing to see
if Joe Biden will stand up to it.
- This is, I think, afar more dangerous time
than it was under Trump.
- [Dale] China expert Gordon Chang.
- I think they reallywere afraid of Trump.
They were apprehensive 'causethey couldn't predict him.
I think that becauseTrump was unpredictable
that the risk of war was abnormally low.
And apparently, they don'tthink very much of Biden.
They think that they can push him around.
- [Dale] The Biden administration'sties to China are many.
Secretary of State Tony Blinken,
Director of NationalIntelligence Avril Haines,
and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki
all worked for a consultingfirm called WestExec
which helped businesses anduniversities get established
in China, and which, on its web page,
uses images that suggestaccess to the White House.
Ben Weingarten is withthe Claremont Institute.
- Them myriad cabinet members
and other senior administration officials
who are gonna be responsible
for implementing the president's agenda
and crafting it withrespect to communist China,
who all have dealings, atmost, two degrees separated
from Chinese CommunityParty linked entities
and individuals.
So, the whole administration writ large
at the top level has questions to answer
with respect to financialand business dealings
with respect to theChina's Communist Party.
- [Dale] Those dealings areforcing Biden's Asia's czar,
Kurt Campbell, to agree to recuse himself
from conflicts of interest.
Hunter Biden mademillions from China deals
while dad was vice presidentin the Obama administration.
And there's also Hunter Biden's laptop,
with apparent referencesto Joe Biden as the big guy
that showed up repeatedlyin leaked business emails.
It's led some to ask whetherthe Chinese government
could use what it knows aboutHunter's activities in China
to push for concessionsfrom the White House.
- The conflict ofinterest, appearance alone,
presents myriad ethics andcorruption issues for Joe Biden.
And just the fact that it'sknown that he has those dealings
alone is potentialleverage against Joe Biden.
- [Dale] While Joe Bidenhas not yet reversed
Donald Trump's Chinese tariffsor travel restrictions,
he's already made excusesfor China's campaign
of genocide against theMuslim Uyghur people.
Meanwhile, China hasbecome more aggressive
since the Biden inauguration.
Incursions into Taiwan'sairspace have increased.
Chinese aircraft conducteda simulated attack
on the USS TheodoreRoosevelt carrier group
while it was sailingin the South China Sea.
And China's foreignminister has publicly warned
the Biden White House not tomeddle in China's affairs.
Dale Hurd, CBN News.
- Well, I think the Lordindicated that some time ago,
that we were gonna be tested.
I thought it was Trumpwho was gonna be tested,
but it's going to be China,it's going to be Russia,
it's going to be North Korea,it's going to be the Turks.
They'll all be testing us,every single one of them.
And I think Iran, particularly,
might try some kind of an assassination.
That's what it lookedlike was going to happen.
Now we've got the Biden administration
and how can he stand upagainst these pressures?
The answer is he can't.
And if he's so compromisedin relation to the Chinese
and if his son is getting so much money
from their dealings over there
and he's got people in his administration,
even including his press secretary,
who have dealings inChina, it is shocking.
This is the greatest nation on earth
and we are in grave perilin relation to leadership,
in relation to the enemieswe have around the world.
But if this was a time for prayer...
"If my people which are called by my name
will humble themselvesand pray and seek my face
and turn from their wicked ways."
We've got to make a turning.
And then God said, "I'll hear their prayer
and I'll heal their land."
But right now, we are in serious trouble.
Well, also in the news, more trouble.
A 100% increase in two months.
That's how many migrants areillegally crossing the border.
So has the Biden administration
admitted this soaring crisis?
No way.
No admission of anything.
John Jessup has more.
- Pat, those new numbers,
confirmed from the Biden administration,
a jump in children and familiescrossing over the border.
So what's behind this latest surge?
Heather Sells has the report.
- [Heather] New numbers from Border Patrol
show a startling uptick,
especially among children and families.
In January and February, theyspiked by more than 100%.
Kids crossing alone rose60% to more than 9,000.
- There is a crisis on theTexas border right now.
- [Heather] But whilethe governor of Texas
is calling it a crisis,the White House is not.
- I'm not trying to be cute here,
but I think the fact ofthe matter is we have to do
what we do regardless of whatanybody calls the situation.
- [Heather] This afterPress Secretary Jen Psaki
deflected questions about numbers
to Homeland Security Tuesday.
- I'm not gonna confirm numbers from here.
Those numbers are tracked
by the Department of Homeland Security
so I'm certainly, I'm justsuggesting that you talk to them.
I would encourage you to goback to them and ask them again.
- [Heather] Republicans blamethe president's policies
and support for a pathway to citizenship,
saying they've encouraged the surge.
- They're perfectlyfine having open borders
that endanger the livesof American citizens,
but also the immigrantswho seek to come here,
children being abused on the journey
while they claim in thefalse name of compassion
that open borders issomehow pro-immigrant.
- [Heather] On Wednesday,
the president's coordinatorfor the southern border
admitted that it was no coincidence
The surge began after Biden took office.
- Surges tend to respond to hope,
and there was a significanthope for a more humane policy
after four years of pent up demand.
- The government is holdingchildren and families
in government and privatefacilities for several days
and looking for more housingas it evaluates asylum claims.
But the majority of the bordercrossers are single adults
and the Biden administration
is turning almost all of them of them back
under a public health order that started
at the beginning of the pandemic.
Heather Sells, CBN News.
- Pat, back to you.
- Folks, this is another crisis,
but it's brought about bythe words of our president.
The words of our president.
It's amazing, NancyPelosi was making a joke
about Open Sesame andshe said, "Open Biden."
Well, they said, "Wehave a letter from Biden.
Biden has invited us tocome to your country."
And so they're flooding in.
And what they think is,
well, maybe he's going to close it down.
But right now, he's broughtit about and he could stop it.
But, well, he's now going tomake a prime time address,
which we understand isgoing to be highly scripted
and he will be rehearsingit over and over again
so he can make sure he gets it right.
John.
- Pat, President Biden'sfirst prime time address
to the nation tonightmarks one year to the day
since the declaration ofa nationwide lockdown.
The president will offer a message of hope
and a direction for the future.
This after announcing thepurchase of 100 million more doses
of the Johnson & Johnsonvaccine, allowing more states
to expand eligibility for vaccinations.
Texas soon allowing peopleover 50 to get the shot
and Georgia is set toinclude those over 55
and New Yorkers 60 andover are already approved.
Well, the president is setto sign into law Saturday
his $1.9 trillion relief bill.
Congress approved it yesterday.
About half of that moneyis going to us households
in the form of stimuluschecks, unemployment benefits,
healthcare, nutrition,housing, and childcare.
The rest going to stateand local governments,
assistance to businesses, and other aid.
The cost is adding up to record high debt.
The Treasury Departmentreporting the deficit
for the first five months of fiscal 2021
totals $1.05 trillion, thehighest ever for that timeframe.
Well, a lot is packed intothat nearly $2 trillion bill,
yet something noticeablymissing is the Hyde Amendment,
the measure that preventsfederal tax dollars
from funding abortionsthat's been in nearly
every budget bill for nearly 40 years.
Prior to the vote, OklahomaSenator James Lankford
expressed his disappointment in the bill
that he says forces Americantaxpayers to fund abortions.
- This week, what theHouse is voting on today,
what the Senate passedon Saturday morning,
will be the first time in 44 years
we as a country haveused federal tax dollars
to pay for abortion.
- [John] During his 36years in the Senate,
Joe Biden supported the Hyde Amendment.
A group of pro-life evangelicalsfor Biden told CBN News
they were shocked thatthe COVID relief bill
omitted the measure.
- It was a signal that the extreme wing
within the Democratic Party
is really determining the agenda.
We felt betrayed.
Furthermore, they did notgive us a heads up on this.
There was no sense of accountability
to evangelicals and Catholics,who took a lot of risks
in saying publicly that theywere gonna vote for Mr. Biden.
- Meanwhile, congressional Democrats
are also introducing a billto allow US tax dollars
to pay for abortion services overseas.
It aims to replace the Helms Amendment,
which prevents moneygoing to foreign groups
that provide abortion services.
Along those same lines, aleading Republican senator
predicts the controversial Equality Act
will be defeated in the Senate.
That bill expands civilrights to include gender
and sexual orientation.
Critics say it's a threatto religious liberty
because it provides no exemption
based for religious beliefs.
CBN's Abigail Robertsonasked Senator Rand Paul
how likely it is to become law.
- The Equality Act.
Many conservatives have said
that this is a deceptively named bill.
What do you think about the Equality Act,
and what happens when thisbill comes to the Senate?
- I don't think it'll getmany Republican votes.
It might get one or two.
I don't think they can get 60.
So as long as the filibuster's intact,
I think we can stop it.
And I think equal rights oughtto be everybody the same,
no matter the color of your skin,
no matter your personalbackground, or anything.
Everybody ought to be treated fairly.
And I think there is a way to do that
without having specialcategories developed.
- And Pat, the House billpassed by 224 to 206.
Only three HouseRepublicans voted in favor.
- You know, it's likewe're being steamrolled
by this ultra-liberalagenda and, unfortunately,
losing those two Senateseats down in Georgia
was not a good thing.
But as we pointed out, the majority
in the House ofRepresentatives is razor thin,
just a few votes, a few seats in play.
But maybe in the next couple of years,
we haven't got time to get it done,
but we certainly shoulddo everything we can
to keep this terrible steamroller
from just overpowering all of us,
and that's what seems to be happening.
Terry, we've got an interesting story
coming up now.- We sure do.
- Yeah.
- A double shot of girl power.
First, she's puttingthe pedal to the metal
and leaving the guys in the dust.
What's racing through her mind
as she buckles in before every race?
Plus, they've gotponytails and painted nails
and they're packing AK-47s.
Meet the young women on the front lines
in the fight against ISIS.
See them in action when we come back.
(dramatic music)
(tense music)
- A fierce sniper brandishing an AK-47.
Azima was determined tostop ISIS at all costs.
And guess what?
Azima is a woman and a member
of the all female Kurdish militia.
She and her fellow soldiershad the men of ISIS
quaking in their boots.
So how did these female fighters
become ISIS' worst nightmare?
Wendy Griffith has an interesting story
on the Daughters of Kobani.
- In 2014, the IslamicState had swept across
much of Syria, overtakingcities and spreading terror
as civil war raged all around it.
As ISIS approached a town called Kobani,
a group of Kurdish female fighters,
armed with AK-47s and a lot of courage,
were determined not tolet ISIS take their town,
their homes, or their families.
(women speaking in foreign language)
Although they had braidedhair and painted fingernails,
when it came to fighting ISIS,
they were as fierce as any male army.
- They weren't just fighting ISIS,
but they were leading inbattle, leading men and women
in the fight against theextremists of the Islamic State.
- [Wendy] In her book,"The Daughters of Kobani,"
author Gayle Tzemach Lemmonintroduces us to these women,
including Azima, a sniperdetermined to stop ISIS
at all costs.
- Even when so many people had lost faith
that Kobani would not fall,
she would absolutely tell everybody,
including her fightersand including her sister,
who sometimes called while shewas in the middle of battle,
literally taking firefrom the Islamic State,
she would say, "We will not lose Kobani.
We will fight untilthe end and we'll win."
- Was ISIS afraid ofthese female fighters?
- Yeah, so you know, youasked you about Azima.
Azima had a great story about how,
you know, at the beginning,
she would hear on the walkie talkies
the men from ISIS say,"Try to pick off the women.
Try to kill the women first."
And then at the end,
when they saw what good snipers they were,
they would be on the radio saying,
"Hey, don't get too closeto those women snipers.
They're very good."
And they took that as a huge compliment.
And there was also the fact
that the men of the Islamic State
felt they couldn't go to paradise
if they were killed by a woman,
and they would get on the radio
and really say terriblethings to these women,
who then used it asmotivation to power them
in their fight against ISIS.
- [Wendy] Lemmon's research
into the Women's Protection Forces
took her to the front lines,
where she also spent time withChristian female fighters.
- And, you know, one young woman
from a Christian family told me
that her mother at first did not approve
of her joining the all women's force.
And then, you know, ISIS by then
had kidnapped Christiansin the Hawar Valley,
and when her parents would go to church,
people would come up to them and say,
"We're so proud of whatyour daughter is doing."
And I really hope that"The Daughters of Kobani"
does justice to the courage, bravery,
and the power of these young women.
- The battle for Kobani wasconsidered a turning point
in the war against the Islamic State.
How big a role did thisfemale militia play
in freeing Kobani from the grip of ISIS?
- Women were front and center
in the fight to stop the Islamic State.
And in Kobani, this was theirfirst battlefield defeat,
and women played a centralrole in handing it to them.
- [Wendy] Lemmon says theirbattle skills earned the respect
of US Special Forcesfighting alongside them.
- And there's a story ofone man who said, you know,
"When I saw how many young women,
we'd have ponytails and AK-47sgoing off to fight ISIS,
I thought, wow, this isdefinitely a first for me.
They are real and true warriors."
- [Wendy] For many of these women,
this was not just about defeating ISIS,
although that was their major focus,
but giving women moreequality in the Middle East.
Do you think they achieved that goal?
- There is no questionthat the next generation
of girls born will seewomen protecting them
in that part of Syria andin that part of the region.
And there's a story that's in the book
when they finally clear the town of Manbij
of the Islamic State.
A woman comes out andsort of puts her hands
on the faces of the young women and said,
"We didn't even know you were real.
We heard about you, but wedidn't know you were real."
And I think that's the powerof seeing what women can beat.
- About Azima, she wasinjured, not once, but twice.
Pretty badly the second time.- Yes.
- What ever happened to her?
- One of the most beautifulmoments of reporting this
was when she was tellingme about this moment
when she's injured the secondtime by the Islamic State.
And you want to talk about force of will,
she's sitting there and she says,
"I will not die because thatwill be a gift to them."
- Wow.- I will be here
to see my people through to victory.
And so she's on the radio
with her fighters, saying, "Listen.
Show them, show the menwho bought and sold women
what we are capable of andknow that even if we fight
and die, we will have diedfor something that matters."
(kids shouting in foreign language)
- [Wendy] Wendy Griffith, CBN News.
- That is simply fascinating, isn't it?
Those Kurdish people,
I mean, they have been ourfighters along the way.
The Peshmerga have been ourfriends for so many years,
and the fact that theirdaughters are fighting.
Well, that book is called"The Daughters of Kobani"
and you can get inwherever books are sold.
It sounds fascinating.
- Amazing story.
Boy, what courage.
- Oh, man.- What courage.
What determination.- But to think,
those Muslims think thatthey get killed by a woman,
they won't go to paradise.- Yes.
Well, it looks like that
may be no other choice,- We oughta send 'em
to paradise as fast as we can.- Really.
Okay, Terry, what's that?
Another woman, all right.- Another woman.
Up next, life in the fast lane.
Sprint car racer McKenna Haase tells us
how it feels to, quote,"drive a roller coaster."
What's it like to win the checkered flag?
And what happened when shesaw Jesus riding shotgun?
Stay tuned to find out.
And then, the burning painon the bottoms of her feet.
This horse woman had troublemaking it through the day.
What got her back in the saddle?
You're gonna see for yourself.
That's all later on today's show.
(tense music)
(dramatic music)
- 950 horsepower on a 1,400 pound frame.
Driver McKenna Haasesays racing a sprint car
is like riding a bull.
McKenna's the first female
ever to win the Knoxville Speedway,
blowing away her all-male competition.
So what happened during onerace when she saw Jesus?
Listen, she saw Jesus in her cockpit.
Look at that.
(motor rumbling)
- [Narrator] McKenna Haase haspicked a daring profession.
- Race car driving is like riding a bull,
just trying to control something
that is kind of uncontrollable.
950 horsepower on a 1,400 pound frame.
Just those extreme forces,
now try and drive the roller coaster.
- [Narrator] The sprintcar driver's first win came
as a 14-year old, but heryoung success hasn't created
what her Haase-rhymingnickname might suggest.
- I was probably one ofthe least likely candidates
to be doing what I'm doing
and you just know that God'strying to use that for good.
- [Narrator] McKenna's fasttrack to a racing obsession
began with a random meeting.
- I was on vacation withmy family in third grade.
We went out to eat at a shopping mall
and there was a famous NASCAR driver there
signing autographs. Ibecame a huge fan of his
and a huge fan of NASCAR after that,
and that's where mypassion for racing began.
- [Narrator] McKennabecame the first female
to win at the Knoxville Speedway,
the Sprint Car Capital of the World.
The Iowa native doublesas her own marketer,
recruiting sponsors.
- I'm just honest and Itry to be raw and real
about who I am and what I'm doing
and why that's beneficial for them too.
It's really about the relationship
and the partnership that grows over time.
The business was justclearly a part of my life
from the time I was littleand kind of a gift from God
that I've always been passionate about.
I always loved selling.
- [Narrator] Her businesssense isn't the only trait
that makes McKenna unique in her sport.
- You're the only female ina sea of thousands of men.
My gender has by far createdthe biggest challenges
that I faced throughout mycareer and continues to.
I think it comes down to justincluding God in that matter
and letting Him lead it.
- [Narrator] McKenna's rare attributes
match sprint car's distinct style.
- It's such short, quick,fast, intense racing.
Sprint cars can getaround a half-mile track
in 14, 15 seconds.
We race on dirt, and as thedirt starts to slick off,
now you have cars going 140 miles an hour
essentially on ice, but with24 other cars around you.
A race car's a machine and it's an animal
and it's working against you
and your goal is toget it to work for you.
So I think that's thegreatest satisfaction,
flirting with the dangertoo, in order to succeed.
- [Narrator] The flirt with danger
comes with the territory of racing.
- I had a really bad crashtrying to pass for the lead
and I flipped like six timesand my helmet came off.
And after that crash, Ialways had this vision
of Jesus in my cockpit coveringmy head as I was flipping.
That was really when Istarted just praying a lot
and I got involved in a college ministry
and that absolutely transformed my life
and really opened my eyes to God.
- [Narrator] On thedashboard of McKenna's car
is a prayer she recitesprior to the race's start.
- [McKenna] Lord, I pray as I race today,
keep me safe along the way.
Not only me but the others too,
performing the jobs they do.I know, God, that in a race,
I, the driver, must set the pace.
But in this race of life I pray,
help me, Lord, along the way.
- [Narrator] McKenna continuesto merge the life she lives
to the profession she chooses,confronting her convictions
against the potential of awaiting fear.
- Coming to terms withdeath on the racetrack,
but still live in freedom
because, you know, A, what'son the other side of that line,
and B, you know that you have a Savior
that knows exactly whenyou're going there.
God literally controls the wheel, right,
and so many of my wrecks,I didn't walk away
because I should've orbecause it made sense.
I walked away because Godwanted me to walk away.
And for me, I would rather lead a life
of significance than a life of length
as it pertains to the Kingdom of Heaven.
- [Narrator] McKenna owns and runs
Compass Racing Development,
a program preparing young drivers
to make educated and professional impact
in the race car industry.
- I believe that youshouldn't wait to give back.
You shouldn't only limityour love to certain people,
to certain environments.
God calls us to treateverybody like family,
and I try to love those kids and my fans
and everybody around melike they are family.
Acts 20:24: "My lifeis worth nothing to me;
my only aim is to finish the race
and complete the taskthe Lord has given me.
The task of testifying to thegood news of God's grace."
My whole life in one verse.
My life is worth nothing to me.
My only aim is to finish the race.
What you do on this earth matters.
(fans cheering)
I want to lead people to Christ.
Like, that's why I'm here.
I want to be a light whereverGod has me planted on earth,
and it matters when you get to heaven.
- Well, I commend the young lady.
I think, if I were you, Iwould think about the verse
that says, "Don't forsake wisdom,"
and wisdom would say stayout of those stupid cars.
I just can't believe it.
That would be my verse.- I don't know.
It seems like God's kindof got His hand upon her
right there.- Well, yeah, He has,
but my goodness, it's kind of like, okay,
I'm gonna jump off a building
and hope the parachute, you know-
- [Terry] That's the daddy in you
wanting to protect.- Yeah, the daddy
who wants to take care ofthe daughters, okay, but...
I've driven a stock car,
you know, one of thosebig, powerful things
around the motor speedway.
I did 30 laps down there inCharlotte with a big one.
It's a big trip, but Imean, you're in a car
that's all kind ofenclosed and you've got,
you know, a helmet andyou've gotta crash thing.
You're not in one of thoselittle bucking broncos.
Good grief.
- Yeah.- That's a brave girl.
But I think she oughta pickup a different line of work.
Terry.
- I kind of like it, McKenna.
It's called intentional living.
Go you!
(Terry and Pat laugh)
Well, up next,
the prayer that protecteda man and saved a nation.
What were the words of St. Patrick
as he stepped foot across a hostile land?
And then, like her feet were on fire.
That's how one woman'sdescribed her agonizing pain.
What finally snuffed out the flames?
You're gonna see when we come back.

- Welcome back to Washingtonfor this CBN newsbreak.
Christian author and Bibleteacher Beth Moore says
she is, quote, "no longera Southern Baptist."
Moore has been identified
with the Southern BaptistConvention for decades,
but she told the Religion News Service
she no longer feels at home in the SBC.
Moore was critical of formerPresident Donald Trump.
She said she was shocked
by the 2005 "Access Hollywood" tape
where he bragged about hissexual exploits with women.
Moore has spoken out
about her own experiencewith sexual abuse.
She had also been veryvocal in her criticism
of the SBCs handling of issuesinvolving racism and sexism.

his 100-day American Campfire Revival
praying for nationwide restoration.
Cameron announced his initiative

Cameron said that, rather than waiting

we should go on the offense
and roll out our own 100-day plan.
His plan incorporates sharingideas based on biblical truth
in videos he posts on social media.

(dramatic music)
- So how does a slave become a saint?
In the case of St. Patrick,he escaped his master
then he returned to theland of his captivity
as a missionary.
So what protection did he bring with him?
A prayer as powerful todayas it was 1,600 years ago.
(gentle music)
- [Gordon] I arise today throughGod's strength to pilot me,
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's Word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's shield to protect me.
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart ofevery man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth ofeveryone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
I arise today through a mighty strength,
the invocation of the Trinity,
through belief in the Threeness,
through confession of the Oneness
of the Creator of creation.
(dramatic music)
- Powerful, isn't it?

Gonna be something special.- It's a great thing.
- Oh, yes.- It's amazing
what that one man has done
to totally overwhelm a nation
and all the people who are Irish.
I mean, it's just great.
Feet to the fire.
For Kristen, that wasn'tjust an expression.
Her throbbing feet feltas if they were scorched.
All she could do was sit at home
and prop up those aching feet.
So how did Kristen finally get relief?
Just watch.
- My name is Kristen.
I enjoy outdoor activities,
gardening, taking care of animals.
We have a couple horses here.
I enjoy riding,
just getting outside andenjoying time out there.
In May of 2019, Istarted experiencing pain
in both of my feet and a burning sensation
on the bottom of my feet.
It was going on for a couple of weeks
and it was hindering my active lifestyle.
I wasn't able to get through the day
and do the things that I needed to do.
I wasn't able to work through the pain.
I was hesitant aboutcontacting the doctor.
I wasn't sure exactlywhat I would tell him,
that I was having foot pain
and that there was a burning sensation.
It actually felt like my feetwere being held to the fire.
Everything changed on May 28, 2019.
That day I was watching "The 700 Club."
I was sitting in my living room
with my feet up due to the pain.
At the end of the show, whenPat and Terry were praying,
I was praying along with them,
and that's when Terry started talking
about the pain that I was experiencing
and the pain and burning sensation.
- Someone with burning onthe bottom of your feet.
That's gonna stop now.
In Jesus' name,
you'll not have it anymore.- Thank you, Lord.
- At that time, I was notpraying for myself for healing
and I was praying along and Ithought that it was a strange
that somebody else had the same issue.
And within moments afterI had that thought,
the pain went away, the burning went away.
I sat there for a few moments thinking,
"If I move, is it gonna come back?"
And I just sat for a few moments
and then I got up and Istarted walking around
and I said, "It's really gone."
My feet were back to normal.
I know that there's peopleout there that are suffering
and they have much worseconditions, much bigger problems.
The fact that the Lord touched me
and healed my issue was very humbling.
I am on my feet for a good part of the day
taking care of the horsesand the other animals here
and I've had no pain at all.
I'm doing all my activities
and chores and it's been wonderful.
God works miracles every day,
and I think when they happen,
we should take the timeto acknowledge them
and to share, share the joy of a miracle.
(inspirational music)
- The joy of a miracle.
Isn't that great?
What a marvelous thing,
and you didn't know that lady.
- I still don't know that lady,but I sure am happy for her.
- I'm sure you are.- That's wonderful.
- Here's somebody, somebodynamed Omie, I believe it is,
from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Had daily arthritic pain.
She heard Terry say, "You'restruggling with arthritis,
not in one place, throughout your body,
general achiness, you're exhausted.
God is healing you right now."
And Omie was immediately healed.
She said, "That's me."
And she called CBN'sprayer line a month later
and said, "I'm completely healed."
- [Terry] Go, Omie, that's...
Go, God!
Go, God, all right.- That's awesome.
Pat, this is Susan.
This came through email:
When I was watching "The700 Club" on March 3rd,
Pat said that there's someone with pain
in their lumbar spineand to touch that area
and that they are healed.
I have had chronic painfrom a herniated lumbar disc
since someone slammed into my car in 2014,
but I am now pain-free.
Thanks to Pat for callingthis healing from the Lord.
- Folks, you know, it's wonderful
that we have a God who loves us.
We have a God who madeus and He can fix us.
Now, the God we serve isable to do all things well.
With God, all things are possible.
So what we're going to doright now is pray for you.
And I'm gonna ask you toenjoy with Terry and me
and we will pray thatGod will meet your need.
Now, all I'll ask you to dois please don't sit there
and say, "Well, He can't do it for me."
You know, don't do that.
I want you to agree.
If two of you agree,and a double minded man
is not gonna receiveanything from the Lord.
So I want you to concentrate
and say, "Okay, I'll take it right now."
Now Terry and I are going to join hands.
We're gonna believe God for you.
- Jesus.- Father,
I thank you for those in thisaudience who are praying.
I thank you for the healingof that burning feet.
I thank you for the healingof that lumbar disc.
I thank you for all the things you do,
the healing of arthritis.
Lord...
- [Terry] Thank you, Jesus.
- Somebody has serious cancer
that you've been diagnosed with cancer
that you've only got afew days left to live,
and God says, "Look,I've got a word for you.
You will live and glorify the Lord."
I believe it's Marcy,and you take that word.
In the name of Jesus, touch her.
- Yes, Lord.- Terry.
- Yeah, there's someone else,you have a chronic cough.
You're not really necessarilycoughing up anything,
but you can't stop the coughing
and you get these coughing,sort of spells going.
God is healing the condition
that's causing that for you right now.
Just swallow, lift up yourhands and begin to praise Him,
and it will be gone, in Jesus' name.
- Somebody, you pulleda muscle in your groin.
I mean, it really is hard.
I don't know if you weregoing up some steps and fell
or what happened, butoh, you're in great pain.
Just touch that part of your anatomy.
In the name of Jesus,
that muscle is going tobe completely healed.
In Jesus' name.
Terry.- There's somebody else
with a rotator cuff issue.
I don't think it's completely torn,
but it is torn and it's very painful.
God's healing that for you right now,
actually healing that muscle.
In Jesus' name.
- Marcellus, you've got a hearing loss.
Your hearing has been downjust to a small fraction
of what it's supposed to be
and you're barely hearingwhat I'm saying right now.
In the name of Jesus,Marcellus, your ears will open.
Touch!
- And someone else, you're a singer
and you've lost the ability to sing.
I'm really not quite sure why,
but it breaks your heartbecause you're also a worshiper.
God is restoring toyou what has been lost.
Just lift up your voice
and begin to worship him in Jesus' name
- Throughout this audience,may the power of God touch you.
As you're praying with us,receive an answer to your prayer.
You're crying out to the Lord
and God's love is unfolding you right now.
Receive it in Jesus' name.
Amen and amen.- Amen.

We'd love to hear from you.
Now, if you want more prayer

but please call and tell uswhat God's done in your life.

The man of the house.
That's who Megan becamewhen her husband deployed.
With three children at home,
she was forced to quit her job
and Megan worried aboutthe financial stress
until CBN gave her entirefamily a major hand up.
- [Narrator] Air Force Tech Sergeant Ian
has deployed for sixmonths multiple times.
It's never easy on his family,
but now he deploys for a year.
Megan must shoulder the responsibilities
of both mom and dad while he's gone.
- I know she can do it.
She actually is theperfect military spouse.
I have no doubt if there's an issue,
and we have a goodnetwork of friends, family
she can call and she's taken care of.
- I know that that liftsthe burden off of him
to be able to leave knowingthat I have it taken care of.
- [Narrator] To preparefor this year's separation,
they decided Megan shouldleave her part-time job
at a grocery store to be athome full-time with the boys.
The $5,000 cut to theirbudget will be missed,
but necessary.
- If somebody got sickor the school closed down
or we had to go remote,I would have to call in
and say I couldn't be there.
So, I was hanging on to something
that as gonna end up being Iwas gonna have to quit anyways.
- [Narrator] At the halfway point,
Ian is allowed three weeks of leave.
However, the family is responsible
for the cost of the flight home.
- If it puts us in a financial bind,
we won't put ourselves in that situation.
- [Narrator] Despite thefinancial and emotional challenges
this year may bring, they knowGod will see them through.
- My faith and my prayers willabsolutely play a role in,
a huge role in getting through.
- [Narrator] Near Ian's duty station
at Seymour Johnson JointMilitary Base, North Carolina,
is their church home, The Lord's Table.
The church asked Helping theHome Front to get involved.
Pastor Ken Jefferson told the couple
CBN was offsetting their loss of income
that Megan brought infrom her part-time job.
- No way!
- You serious?
You might make me cry.
- No way!
Wow!- Yep.
So that's just the beginning.
Helping the Home Front andtheir partners want to make sure
that it isn't money thatkeeps you apart for a year
and so they're gonnacover your ticket home
at your midway point,
make sure you're able to come home
and spend some time with your family.
- Really is amazing
because we really wouldnot have had him come home
if we couldn't do it.
So that's amazing becausethat's the best gifts
that we could have.
- [Narrator] The firstweek of January 2021,
Ian shipped out.
This family is now looking forward
to his visit home this summer.
- Thank you to the CBN partners

Okay, time for some questions.
- Let's take the questions.- You ready?
- All right, what are they?- Morris says,
"How would you compareour evil society of today
to that of the time of Noah's
when God destroyed theearth with the flood?"
- Well, the Bible says, in his day,
that every thought of man's heart
was on evil continuously andviolence was in the land.
I think it was total chaos, total anarchy,
and total lawlessness.
I don't think it's this bad here today.
We have some serious issues,but it's not that bad.
Every thought of man's heartwas on violence continuously.
I mean, it was just terrible.
And I don't think we're having that now.
It's bad, but it's not that bad, okay.
- This is Chris, who says,
"Is loving something more than God a sin?
Does it mean it's like an idol to you?"
- Well, I don't know whatyou're talking about.
I mean, we could make idols of our spouse.
We can make idols of ourboyfriend or girlfriend.
We can make an idol of money.
We can make an idol ofsuccess, you name it.
And the Bible says we're to love God
with all of our heart and our soul
and our mind and our strength.
And that's the first commandment.
And the second is to loveour neighbor as ourselves.
So you decide.
I can't tell you, butthat's what the Bible says.
Bring in line what you'redoing with what the Bible says.
- This is Patricia who says, "Hi, Pat.
I am pro-life.
It is my understanding thatthe Johnson & Johnson vaccine
contains cells or celllines from aborted fetuses.
If this is true, shouldChristians avoid being injected
with this specific COVID-19 vaccine?
I love 'The 700 Club' and watch daily."
- All right, look,
I think that cell line is so far removed
from any particular abortion.
It's just, I mean, generations past
and there are a couplelittle cells in there.
I don't think that shouldkeep you from getting it.
I'm planning on gettingit when it's available.
So, you want to know my opinion?
I don't think that's a problem.
It really shouldn't be.
I mean, you know, wedon't believe in abortion
and I think, you know, there was...
We've been defending a casefrom somebody that was sued
because they showed theywere selling body parts.
And actually, the case ruled against them.
And my granddaughter, I think,
is involved in one of those cases.
But I don't think...
You know, 10 generationsafter, you know, of some cell,
I mean, that's just not a big thing.
Okay.
- This is Deanna who says,
"After the temple curtain was torn in two
from top to bottom, what happened?
Did they go back toanimal sacrifices again?"
- Well, you know, itwasn't too long after that
that the Romans came in
and took over the whole situation there
and Israel became a vassal state to Rome.
I imagine they probably were still
having animal sacrifice whenthey were able to do so.
But as far as Christians, we know that...
The idea of the temple,
the curtain of the templewas to separate the worshiper
from the Holy of Holies,and what it was saying
is the access into theHoly of Holies is now open
through the blood of Christ.
That's what it had to do with.
It didn't have anything todo with animal sacrifice.
It had to do with ouraccess into the Lord.
All right, next question.
- This is Angie:
"How do you feel about remarriage
when your spouse hasleft and divorced you?
You it's been a while since it happened."
- Pauline privilege.
If the unbeliever's pleasedto depart, let him depart.
The brother or sister's notbound in a case like that.
You're, as far I'm concerned,
you're absolutely free to get remarried
or whatever according to the Bible
and there's no problem.
That particular,
that's the easiest one.
I've had some hard ones,but that's an easy one.
We leave with this word from Matthew:
"Seek first His kingdomand His righteousness,
and all these things willbe given to you as well."
From Terry and all of us,this is Pat Robertson.
God bless you. We'll see you later.
