(upbeat music)

- Welcome folks to thisedition of "The 700 Club".

Last week, 124 retiredgenerals and admirals

sounded a warning to our country.

They wrote that

under the current administrationand Congress, quote,

our country has taken a hardleft turn towards socialism

and a Marxist form oftyrannical government.

Among their concerns is this, and I quote,

the mental and physical condition

of the commander inchief cannot be ignored.

He must be able to quickly

make accurate national security decisions

involving life and limbanywhere, day or night.

Any sudden change in the Oval Office

points to this successionof the presidency.

Now this isn't something they said,

it's something I want you to say.

If something happens, if for some reason,

Joe Biden is removed becauseof mental incompetency,

and there are people sounding the alarm,

these admirals and generalsdidn't come out and say,

well, he's mentally deficient,but everybody has found

constant glitches in his speech pattern

and his inability to speak without having

carefully scripted notes.

So this is what's,

here is the succession Iwant to show you again.

If he is taken out,

Vice President Kamala Harrisbecomes the president.

If something happens to Kamala Harris,

the next president is Nancy Pelosi.

Now that's the way it is.

Now, unless,

there are five seats in theHouse that are up for grabs,

there was a redistrictingbecause of the census,

which may have given acouple more House seats

to Republicans,

and it looks without question

that the House is going to turn,

and Nancy Pelosi will not be speaker

after this fall's election.

That looks what is going to happen,

but she will be the Presidentof the United States,

if something happens toJoe Biden or Kamala Harris.

And so the thought is, ifNancy Pelosi is not speaker

if the current Republicanleader of the House

becomes speaker,

then there'll be a wholedifferent chain of command,

but anyhow, it'ssomething very interesting

and I think you should watch it,

because it may be in the news shortly.

Well, there's something elsethat happened a long time ago,

there was a case that wascalled Blackburn's Abortion,

it was the most awful casethat you could imagine,

and it was called Roe vs. Wade,

and suddenly what should have been

a police matter of the state,

to be decided at the state level

was federalized and taken away

from the voters of everystate in the United States.

But somehow or other,the Democrats had stuck,

assiduously to the ideaof unlimited abortion.

And I remember hearing

the candidate for presidentof the Democrat Party

in a debate with President Trump,

saying she would backup late term abortion

even with a baby being broughtfrom the mother's womb.

And I said, that is so horrible,

but if that is theposition, it's terrible.

Well, it could be now

the beginning of the end for Roe vs. Wade.

Yesterday the Supreme Court

made a potential move in that direction.

CBN's Jenna Browder has the details.

- The Supreme Court madethe announcement Monday

which comes by way of achallenge to a Mississippi law.

And with the current 6-3conservative makeup of the court,

the outcome could be different this time.

That law limits access to abortion

after 15 weeks of pregnancy

and challenges fetal viabilityas the standard for abortion.

- You can't legislate away

an entire group of human beings' rights,

children that are in the womb.

- [Jenna] Lila Rose,president of Live Action

on CBN's Faith Nation.

- And it's time for thelaw and the Supreme Court

to catch up with science

which is crystal clear thathuman life begins before birth,

and that the only differencebetween a pre-born child,

whether that child is 10weeks old, 15 weeks old

or moments before birthand us, a born human being,

is our age and our level of development.

- [Jenna] The Mississippi casedoes not directly challenge

the current legal right to an abortion,

but it could lay the groundworkfor more restrictions.

And if Roe V. Wade were to be overturned,

abortion would become a state issue.

- Ultimately, the hope is that

the Supreme Court will takethe handcuffs off the states

and allow them to pass laws

that reflect the values ofthe people that live there.

- [Jenna] Mallory Quigleywith the Susan B. Anthony List

says the mood of the country is shifting

and that the majority ofAmericans are now pro-life.

- This year alone, more than 500 bills

have been introduced at state legislatures

across the country,

61 have at this point been signed into law

and it's not even June.

This is the crescendo of agroundswell of pro-life momentum

that's been growing, especiallyin the last 10 years,

and it's in a direct contrast to

the legacy of Roe and the extreme

pro-abortion jurisprudencethat we have in this country.

- [Jenna] Pro-choice advocatesare voicing their opposition

and they are all callingit an ominous sign

that some states areready to ban abortion,

and the Biden administration too.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki

condemning what she callsdraconian state laws.

Adding that president Bidenis committed to turning Roe

into codified law.

- And the president and the vice-president

are devoted to ensuringthat every American

has access to healthcare,

including reproductive healthcare.

- For now we'll haveto wait until the fall,

when the court should hear arguments,

and then release a decision next spring.

In Washington, Jenna Browder, CBN News.

- Just think ladies and gentlemen,

since Roe was passed,

we in the free country of America

have slaughtered approximately60 million unborn babies.

Think of the tremendous creation,

the creative ability that these people

could have brought toour society, 60 million.

Roe vs. Wade has been a terrible tragedy.

And we're going to have to pay the price

for slaughtering those unborn children.

But I remember when, you know

my friend Jesse Helms said, well

we need a constitutional amendment,

that'll enshrine the right to life,

and I thought, you know

it's not going to happenJesse, but what is needed

was a flip in the Supreme Court.

But to think that we'vehad to wait this long

to get a Supreme Court majoritythat would indeed hear this

and this whole idea ofpartial birth abortion

and the other thingsare just an abomination.

And there's no way that anybody can claim

it's a woman's health,

while a baby there'sbeing taken from her womb,

has his brains sucked out,

and to say that is something

having to do with woman'sreproductive health,

it's nonsense, but that'swhat's been claimed

by the so-called pro-choice people.

And well, we'll see what happens,

but it looks like to me, theSupreme Court, finally, finally

after these terrible years

of these millions of unborn babies

is finally going to make a decision,

that will, if nothing else

return this whole thing to the states,

and that's what shouldhave been done all along,

when the Supreme Courtfederalized abortion,

it took it out of the hands of the voters.

Well also in the news,

while the fighting betweenHamas and Israel rages on,

a political battle is brewing here at home

inside the Democratic Party.

John Jessup has more on that story.

- That is right Pat.

The ongoing conflict has exposed

a rift in the Democratic Party.

President Biden expressingsupport for ceasefire

in a phone conversationwith prime minister,

Benjamin Netanyahu Monday,

but stopping short ofexplicitly calling for one.

So far Biden and Democrat leaders

Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi

are showing support for Israel,

citing it's right to self defense.

But the progressive wing of the party

wants the White House to takea more hard line approach

by addressing what he callsIsrael's apartheid policies

toward the Palestinians,

including withholding US aid as leverage.

Well, as most of the media is focused

on the rocket fire from Gazaand Israel's military response,

on the ground however, somefear and internal strife

threatens to tear Israel apart.

CBN's Chris Mitchell reportson the growing violence

between Arab and JewishIsraelis throughout the country.

- [Chris] Disturbances andrioting in Israel's major cities

is the worst in decades.

- What we saw on thestreets is something that

was reminding us of thedays of the pogroms in 1948,

in 1927, in 1936, in 1967,

that is unacceptable.

We want the Israeli Arab culture,

we want the Israeli Arab communities

to calm the situation down.

- [Chris] Israel Policespokesman Mickey Rosenfeld says

authorities have usedonly non-lethal methods

to control the violence.

- It's come from theIsraeli Arab community

who have attacked policeofficers, burned vehicles,

tens of vehicles ofcivilians also been burned

in the different cities.

- [Chris] Rosenfeld tells CBN News

the incidents began atJerusalem's Old City,

during the Muslim Holy month of Ramadan.

- [Micky] But unfortunately,local residents,

local communities, local individuals,

the majority of them youngstersare taking to the streets.

- [Chris] In the initial violence,

Arab rioters attacked Jews and synagogues.

The violence also promptedJewish self-defense

and revenge attacks such as this one

caught live on Israeli television.

- The majority of those individuals being

individuals with criminal records

were taking to the street anddefending themselves as well

in the majority of situations.

Unfortunately, therewere one or two incidents

that took place, where theybeat up people in the streets,

which is absolutely unacceptable.

- [Chris] Meanwhile, Israel'spresident Reuven Rivlin

brought together Muslim, Christian

and Jewish religious leaders and educators

from the Northern Israelimixed city of Akko.

(speaking in a foreign language)

- This is home to us all,

and we protect our home,not with clubs and knives,

not with stones and firearms,

not through destruction and ruin,

but first and foremost, bymaintaining law and order.

(speaking in a foreign language)

- We had three awful days hereand we are still traumatized.

Our town is a special place,a place where we live,

and where coexistenceis not just a slogan.

(speaking in a foreign language)

- The people here have worked very hard

invested a great deal instopping the violence.

As the rabbi said, Akko is a place

where you feel the calmand the coexistence.

- [Chris] Arrests areongoing and Rosenfeld

hopes the situation calms down,

so police can decrease thenumber of officers on the ground.

Chris Mitchell, CBN News, Jerusalem.

- Thanks for that report Chris.

Turning now to the US Southern border,

and the surge of migrants

crossing into the country illegally,

the numbers increasing every month.

The latest figures show nearly179,000 encounters in April,

a 900% increase from last year.

Republicans blaming Bidenadministration policies.

- You said as recently as this week

that the border is closed,

is that still your position today?

Border is closed.

- Yes, it is.

- Don't you think youbear any responsibility

for the current crisis

by telling the world earlier this year

that the border was open?

- I've never said that the border is open

and I've never been.

- We're not telling you not to come,

how would you parse that?

- I don't recall saying that.

I don't believe.

- You don't recall saying that.

- That's correct, Senator.

- [John] Another concern,

the flood of unaccompaniedminors at the border,

record numbers of children

now arriving faster thanthey can be processed

and placed in sponsor homes,

more than 17,000 crossed over in April

down slightly from the all-timehigh, Pat, back in March.

- You remember all of thefuss that went on about

Trump building a wall,

and he didn't have the money to do it,

and everybody complained hewas a dictator and an autocrat

to want to build all a wall,

and that he was somehow racist, jingoist,

all those terms that will be used?

He was right.

We cannot, cannot open our nation

to the flood of people aroundthe world who want to come in.

I mean, we just can't do it.

There's no way any nation

can accommodate a flood of immigrants

from outside it's borders

and still maintain it'sown standard of living.

But that seems to be the case,

and to deny that there's a crisis

is something that's just appalling,

it is an absolute flood ofrefugees that are coming in,

not only from South America,from all over the world,

and the cartels are takingadvantage of it and profiting,

and also taking the namesof people's families

when they bring them across,the so-called coyotes,

they bring them across the border,

then they find out thenames of their family

and where they live, andthen they use that blackmail.

We can't allow that to happen,

but it'll never, it won'tstop unless people say

Trump was right, weneed to build the wall.

At the same time,

we need to have a dealwith Mexico, which we had

to prevent this flood of immigrants.

But we abrogated that agreement,

and we stopped building the wall,

and that's been the liberal position,

to flood this country,

and when we have unemployment in America

and Americans seeking jobs,

to bring in a flood of low wageearners is just outrageous,

but that's what we're doing.

So folks, you know, we cannot have

one party coming in and saying,

our mandate is to dismantle

everything that my predecessordid, because let's face it,

Trump did some very good for things, John.

- And Pat on both sidesof the political divide,

American politics is being swallowed up

by what's known as dark money,

shadowy sources making huge contributions

and influencing government policy.

As Dale Hurd reports,

some say it goes all theway to the White House.

- [Dale] Both sides ofthe political aisle,

conservatives say dark moneycontrols White House policy,

on issues ranging from courtpacking to the environment.

Dark money is a political contribution

with no requirement todisclose who gave it

and no limit on the amount.

Democrats who've long warnedthat conservative dark money

was a menace to the nation.

Although in the last two elections,

Democrats were the dark money champions.

- Maybe no issue has greater hypocrisy

than debates over campaign finance reform,

and so-called dark money.

Because Democrats thunderagainst dark money,

and yet Democrats dominate dark money.

- Liberal dark money groupsoutspent conservative groups

by a three to one marginin the 2018 election,

and by a five to one margin in 2020.

$1 billion in dark money

was spent on the 2020 federal elections,

mostly by Democrats.

According to the website opensecrets.org

from the Center for Responsive Politics,

it says two thirds of it

came from shadowy politicalnon-profits and shell companies.

Joe Biden received five timesas much of these contributions

as Donald Trump.

Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt

is with Americans for Public Trust.

- Everything that's goingon in America right now

where culture is being pushedin so many different levers,

there's often a dark moneygroup on the other side of that.

- [Dale] After the election,

officials connected to dark money

accepted positions inthe Biden administration,

including White HouseCounsel, Paige Herwig,

and spokeswoman Jen Psaki.

They worked with a groupcalled Demand Justice,

which paid for this sign

demanding Supreme CourtJustice Stephen Breyer resign

to make way for a Biden appointment.

Demand Justice alsowants to pack the court.

Chief of Staff RonKlain was a board member

at the CAP Action Fund,

which reports claim dealsin dark money donations.

And White House ClimateAdvisor Gina McCarthy

led the Natural Resources Defense Council,

another dark money group.

Laxalt believes thiseffectively makes Joe Biden

a puppet of dark money.

- These groups made an investment,

they cared about X issues

and they're not just outthere still spinning,

a lot of them moved into the White House,

and they're helping to shape policy.

- Democrats in the new Congress

have vowed to end dark money.

Critics say maybe they will,after they're done using it.

Dale Hurd, CBN News.

- Thanks Dale, Pat, back to you.

- Folks, don't you get sickof the hypocrisy in politics?

But I tell you, we betterdo some praying because

this is not a socialist country,

and I do believe that thiscountry belongs to the Lord,

it was given to the Lord Jesus,

and he doesn't really wantto give it up right now.

And I think this is a bastion of freedom

that is supposed to bea light to the nations,

and a city set on a hilland all the other things,

and we've got to be a leader.

Instead of that,

this country is beinghijacked by socialists,

it's being hijacked and the agenda

that's being jammed down thethroats of people right now

is nothing more than a socialist play

to take over the freedomthat you and I enjoy,

and we'd better wakeup because if we don't,

it's going to be too bad.

The Germans finally woke up to the fact

that they had given up their freedom

to a group called the Nazis because,

well there was a weakness hither and yond,

and a powerful group came inand the next thing you know

the chancellor was, laid off Hitler.

Well, we don't have that here in America.

And I believe,

I believe God is going tobring a blessing to America,

that is my fervent desire,and my hope and belief

is that we're going to see

a great move of God on this country,

that is going to overthrowthis particular initiative

that has tried to seize controlor take away our freedom,

Terry.

- Well, still ahead, a bodyfloating face down in the water

and a stranded jet-ski.

So what happened, and how didthe family's day on the water

turn into a life ordeath race against time?

You'll find out, that's coming up.

Plus, don't call him woke,

Colorado baker Jack Phillipsstood up to cancel culture

and he'd do it again.

So how much has it cost him?

He'll tell you himself, after this.

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music)

- Well, the so-called wokecrowd is running roughshod

over Christians who refuse to compromise.

Just ask Colorado baker, Jack Phillips.

He fought all the way to the Supreme Court

for the right to do what?

Obey his own conscience.

And now in a new book,

he's calling on people of faithto stand for their beliefs

no matter what the cost is.

Paul Strand brings this wonderful story.

- [Paul] In his new book"The Cost of My Faith",

Jack Phillips explains

why he couldn't design and bake a cake

for two men celebrating a gay marriage.

- The Bible is pretty clear that God made

a male and female and he joinedthem together in marriage

and marriage was his design, his idea.

I'm not smart enough todo anything like that.

And he created it unique and special

between a man and a woman,

and any other view of that

would go against biblical principles.

- [Paul] Phillips insists his refusal

wasn't about discrimination or homophobia,

from the beginning, Phillipsand his wife agreed,

there were many designs andorders they would not fulfill

because of their faith and conscience.

- Among them would be cakesto celebrate Halloween,

cakes that had alcohol in them,

cakes that would denigrateother people or belittle them,

including people that identify as LGBT.

- [Paul] As for denigratingPhillips takes issue

with the labels andaccusations thrown at him

by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission,

as it ruled his freedom of religion

provided no right to refusebaking the cake in question.

- One of the commissioners said that

religious freedom was adespicable piece of rhetoric,

and that it's been usedfor different things like,

you know slavery and the Holocaust,

and to compare not creatinga cake that celebrates

a view of marriage that I couldn't do,

but comparing that tothe Holocaust and slavery

were particularly offensive.

- The commission ordered Phillips

to either bake the gay wedding cake

or stop making wedding cakes altogether.

It also ruled his staff had to go through

mandatory reeducation to teachthem their baker was wrong.

Phillips however, refused to surrender,

realizing his fight for hisbusiness, faith and conscience

could affect all Americans.

- This has been so much more than just

can Jack go back to making cakes again

or anything like that,

it's so that every American

has the right to live and work

according to their conscience,

without fear of punishment,

especially punishment fromthe government in this way.

- His case is really important, right?

It's about the freedom ofartists and all Americans

to control what they say,

and the messages they believe in.

- [Paul] Alliance DefendingFreedom's John Scruggs

was one of the lawyersfighting for Phillips.

He was amazed at how cool andcalm the Baker's faith in God

kept him through years of legal battles.

- Jack lost numerous times

before we got to the US Supreme Court,

and as the lawyers, we wouldget so frustrated, you know,

about what was going on,

and he just had such aquiet faithfulness and trust

that God was in controlof the judge's opinions,

and in the results.

It was really a testament.

- Jack Phillips had a chance

to show his true character and faith,

when outside Washington's Museum,

he ministered to a young gay man

reading headlines about Phillips'US Supreme Court victory

the day before.

- He broke into tears, and he was like,

well, what's going to happen to us?

What's going to happen to me?

What about our rights?

- [Paul] The baker assured the young man,

this wasn't a loss for homosexual rights

and emphasized he, Phillips,wasn't some anti-gay bigot.

- I tried to be compassionatewith this young man,

and tell him, you know,this is not who I am,

I'm not a hateful person,

I gave him my card with my phone number

and tried to talk to him and said,

you can reach me anytime at this number.

- Phillips insists nomatter how much pressure

is put on Christians toconform to various agendas

and what's politically correct,

they must stand by God and their faith.

- We still as Christians have to follow

what the Bible teaches andfollow Christ's mandate.

- As he relates in his book"The Cost of My Faith",

it's a practice he and hisfamily continue to preach.

- We decided which cakes wewould and would not create.

It was like drawing the line in the sand

that we couldn't cross,

and we still have to, asChristians, as Americans,

chart our lines and know where we stand

and know what we'll fight for.

- Paul Strand, CBN News, Washington.

- Jack Phillips' book is"The Cost of My Faith".

You can find it wherever books are sold.

A great hero and his victorybefore the Supreme Court

was a masterpiece, God bless him, Terry.

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

no pulse and extremely labored breathing.

That's how a young jet skier was found

after floating face down in the water.

So what clue did he give his mother

that let her know he would survive?

Stay tuned to find out.

Plus, we're going to be prayingfor you right after this.

(upbeat music)

It was a beautiful summerafternoon on the water.

22 year old Kyle Hollingsworth

had taken his jet ski out for a spin,

something he'd been doing for years.

No one knows how Kyle fell off his ski

or how long he'd beenfloating in the water

before he was found.

But one thing is certain,

by all accounts he should have been dead.

(soft music)

- [Narrator] Heading to the marina,

coastal South Carolina gamewardens Tommy Buckhannon

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

- We had an incoming tide,coupled with the inlet

it makes for choppy waters.

A lots of people on boats,lot of people on jet skis,

very congested.

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

Officer Buckhannon spottedsomething about 150 yards away.

- I looked up and I told Dale,I said, Dale is that a body?

And he turned at thesame time and said yes.

He was face down.

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

and a young man in his early twenties.

Another jet skier had also stopped

and helped them pull thevictim into the patrol boat.

There were obvious signs of head trauma.

- Just looking at him, he wasbad off, he was very serious.

He had blood coming out of his ears,

he had blood coming out of his nose,

had a pulse, but his breathingwas extremely labored.

- [Narrator] Officer Buckhannontended to the young man

as Officer Tanner navigated

through the heavy holiday boat traffic.

- Time is not on our side.

For both Dale and I, we were both praying.

I remember calling for a helicopter,

and I knew it was going to take that

to get him where he neededto be at the trauma center.

- [Narrator] The jet skiertook off toward the boats

clustered near BirdIsland, North Carolina,

looking for someone who knew the victim.

All he had was a last name

pulled from the registrationnumber on the victim's jet ski,

Hollingsworth.

- And all of a sudden, thisguy comes up and he says,

Hollingsworth, Hollingsworth,yellow ski, yellow ski!

- [Narrator] Mark and Vonda Hollingsworth,

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

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

- Is it bad?

And he just looked at me,shook his head, and said

yeah, it's bad.

And that's when it hit me.

First thing I said was, Lord, help me!

- [Narrator] Vonda immediately

jumped on the back of the man's jet ski.

- I said, take me, take me!

- [Narrator] As Mark andthe rest of the family

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

sped towards the docks,where EMS was waiting.

- I was thinking, it's going to be okay

because Kyle's such a daredevil

and he just bounces back from everything.

- [Narrator] They arrived in time

to see Kyle loaded onto the helicopter.

- I saw the shorts that he was wearing,

and I could tell he wasn't conscious.

And so, at that moment I knew it was Kyle

and I knew it was bad. And Iheard the helicopter lift off.

I could not form thewords of a good prayer.

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

And I knew it wascompletely out of my hands.

- [Narrator] Waiting for Kyle's arrival,

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

Initial reports were not promising,

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

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

Does he have a brain injury?

And the second one andthe most pressing one,

was the degree of anoxiahe may have sustained

from a drowning in this case,

that would make the recoverymuch less promising.

- [Narrator] A CAT scan confirmed

Kyle had an epidural hematoma,or bleeding around the brain.

Immediately, doctorstook Kyle into surgery

to implant a device in hisskull to monitor brain pressure.

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

Kyle was in ICU in amedically induced coma

by the time his family arrived.

- Dr. Pepe was like let'sjust see how this goes.

He's really strong.

You know, I feel optimistiche's going to wake up.

- [Narrator] And if he did wake up,

he could have any numberof neurological issues.

So, the Hollingsworth's

reached out to friends and family to pray.

- Everyone, everyone was praying.

Kyle's high school football coach

showed up at the hospital

and he started theMississippi prayer chain,

and Kyle had kids that he graduated with

that had gone to different schools.

It was just so far reaching.

- [Narrator] Five daysafter Kyle was admitted,

the swelling on his brain subsided.

Doctors removed Kyle's monitoring device,

and weaned him off medication,

but he still didn't wake up.

After another four daysof prayer and waiting.

- The head nurse came to meand said, Mrs. Hollingsworth,

your son, pulled the restraints up,

twisted himself and was offthe bed in a prayer position

on his knees, like this.

And I said, that's my boy, that's my boy.

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

I knew at that moment

that God was going topull him through this,

I had no doubt.

- He regained consciousness.

He was starting torespond, starting to move,

which is a great prognostic indicator

that once you start havingneurological recovery

in a very early time frame.

- [Narrator] Kyle remembersnothing of the accident,

and not much of his hospital stay.

What he does remember

is meeting Officers Buckhannon and Tanner

the day of his discharge,

the two men who, throughcourage and God's providence,

helped save his life.

- I got up and shook their hand

and wanted to tell them thank you.

And I had to show them,

you know, how appreciative I was of them.

- I would say it was an emotional moment,

But he reached out under hisown strength and shook my hand

and he mouthed, thank you.

It was very gratifying.

- There's so many factors

that could have gonewrong in this situation,

but Kyle didn't meet anyresistance all the way through,

he just came straight throughand this is what we hope for.

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

with his family.

While he might takethings a little easier,

he's still living thelife God has given him.

- He is my God and my Savior

and there's not a day that goes by

that I don't wake up and thank him,

even when I take thefirst breath of the day.

- It was all prayers

and the good Lord wanting himto tell his story to somebody.

- No matter what happened,God deserved that glory

because He intervened inso many ways for Kyle.

- And the Hollingsworths are sure

that God is getting the glory for that,

a situation that lookedlike death was imminent,

- Here's somebody by theway, who's named Tammy,

who lived in a city called Willis, Texas.

Tammy was in a car accident,

left her, you know,crushed ankle and foot.

She had a partial healing but suffered.

She was watching our programand she heard Terry say, quote,

someone else you have droppedsomething on your foot,

you're having a terriblebruise, deep, deep bruise.

It wasn't healed, butyou have to keep walking,

God is healing you right now.

And she called the prayer line to say,

the right foot is completelyrestored, praise the Lord.

What do you have?

- Well, this is Latitawho sent this by email.

She said, I'd injured my knee

and it hurt really bad for months.

Every time I'd get up after sitting,

I'd have to stand thereand get myself together

before taking a step.

I'd been limping a lot.

Then on April 28th, I waswatching "The 700 Club"

during the healing section of the program,

Pat Robertson indicated thatsomeone had a knee injury,

and it was the left knee due to a fall.

He said, put your hand on that knee.

I believed and placedmy hands on my left knee

and received my healing.

I've been able to get up andmove around without any pain.

Praise God that the GreatPhysician healed me.

- Folks, I said before,and I'll say it again,

God is no respecter of persons.

He loves you very much.

Now Terry and I are goingto pray for you right now

and I want you to believe God with us.

All I can say is, please don't fight us,

please agree with the Lord

and agree with us as we pray for you.

Now, we're going to join hands,

and we're going to believe God, Father,

I thank you for these testimonies.

I thank you for the miracle power of God.

Thank you, Lord.

(upbeat music)

- Please welcome back to "The700 Club" our good friends,

Squire Rushnell and Louise DuArt.

It's great to have you with us guys.

- Hi Terry.

- Hey, great to be here.

- You have had such a tremendoussuccess with your books,

the "Godwinks" series

the expression Godwink hasreally become a household word.

So how did "Godwinks"inspire the book "Dogwinks"?

- Well, we know that a God wink

is one of those little coincidencesthat isn't a coincidence

but comes from divine origin.

Well, a dog wink is any trueGod wink story with a dog

right at the center of it.

So it's using another way toget people to think about Lord,

the Lord, you know?

- Well, Pat and I both love dogs.

We've both had them.

You say dogs have a definitepurpose in God's plan for us,

explain that.

- Well, I think that, I think that

God and dog use the same three letters

to be spelled together,

and there are so many commontraits between the two of them.

- Well, when you think about it,

God is, he loves usunconditionally, so do dogs.

God is faithful, so are dogs.

God protects us, so do dogs

and God as we've talked about before

is no respecter of persons.

You know, you can be homeless,

or you can be a person in a mansion,

it doesn't matter whatreligion or color or anything,

a dog's going to love you no matter what.

- Even if you voted red orblue, it doesn't matter.

- Well Squire earlier wementioned your upcoming movie

"Rescued by Ruby", tellus Ruby's story quickly.

- Well, Ruby was a seven month old pup

at the SPCA in Rhode Island,

Australian shepherd border collie,

very smart, but very high energy.

Now, Pat Inman was the lady trainer

who got the dogs ready fortheir adoption interviews.

And Ruby's problem was that shehad been returned five times

and the lawyers started getting worried,

and they decided toeuthanize her, in two hours.

Well, Pat Inman calls upand says, you can't do that,

Ruby's smart.

Cant you call the StatePolice Canine Unit?

The manager said, you know,

we've never been able to getthem to take one of our dogs,

they get these dogs that cost $15,000,

bred for search and rescue.

Well, can't you try?

She says, and then she leaves in despair,

not wanting to think about poor Ruby.

Well, the manager did take her up on that.

He called the canineunit and the commander,

now here's the first God wink.

He just had his budget cut.

He had a trooper named DanO'Neill he wanted to recruit,

but now no dog.

So he took a chance, heput the two together,

and after a grueling six months,

they became champion status.

But wait, there'sanother amazing God wink.

Two years go by,

it's a cold snap inProvidence, freezing nights,

a boy has been in thewoods, lost 48 hours,

canine units sent out, Ruby takes off.

Officer Dan finds Rubyat the bottom of a ravine

licking the bloody face of a boy.

He calls the other units,put him on a stretcher,

take him to the hospital,

and officer Dan goes to see the parents

to give them the good news.

And the mother is crying.

And as officer Dan starts toleave, she calls after him.

Officer, have you everheard of a dog named Ruby?

He said, ma'am, that's my partner.

She cried.

She said, my name is Pat Inman.

I advocated for Ruby to live,

but I never knew what happened.

He said ma'am, that meansthat the dog you saved

just saved your dog's life.

That is a God wink dog wink.

- Boy, I guess it is.

Louise, when people read "Dogwinks",

what overall message do you want readers

to take away from the book?

- Well, you know, I think God uses

every part of nature and allcreatures great and small,

he'll use birds, he'll use dogs, whatever,

but when, our man's best friend

is used in such a special way,

all through the book,

there's stories of,

miracle stories of how adog found cancer in a woman

just by sniffing, you know,

they, in dogs that hadthis keen sense of smell.

How a dog saved a little baby

who was attacked by a rattlesnake,

about all kinds of things.

So I think that these stories give us hope

and know that God cares about us,

he uses everything to touch our hearts.

- He really does.

The book is, it's areally entertaining read,

but it's also very touching,just like the story of Ruby.

It's called "Dogwinks".

It's available, wherever books are sold

and I'm sure there aregoing to be some movies

on a number of these dogs.

Thanks you two, it's greatto have you with us today.

- We got three movies in here.

- I don't question that.

We love you.

Thank you so much for beingwith us today, bless you.

- Okay, time for some email questions.

- All right, let's go for it.

- All right.

This is Duke.

What's your thought about a child

who borrows thousands ofdollars and won't pay it back

or even talk to you?

Should I just forgive it or what?

- All right, there are two things,

you know the Bible says, sufferyourself to be defrauded.

So that's number one.

But at the same time, areyou going to allow this,

I guess the kid borrowed money from you.

- Yes, sounds like that.

- So he got away with this,

now, is he going to wind upstealing from somebody else?

The answer is probably, andthen what'll happen next?

Will he wind up in juvenile detention

or maybe being sent away to prison?

The answer's probably yes.

So the redemptive thing would be to

hit him at this point of timeand make him pay it back.

Now that means that you may have to

bring some kind of a suit against him

and you know maybe puta lien on his income,

but only redemptively,

if you're mean about it andyou hate him because of it,

forget it.

I mean, a little bitof money doesn't make,

God can give you ahundred times, fold that.

So the overriding is sufferyourself to be defrauded,

but be redemptive if possible, all right?

- This is Mom R who says,

can people receive visions from the enemy?

Someone we know hasvisions about our child

and it causes horrible fear

that something bad's going to happen.

In the visions, ourchild is in an accident.

- I really think some ofthese things come from Satan,

I really do.

I mean, God, Chris warns people obviously,

but I don't think the Lordis going to instill fear.

If you talk to Jesus over and over again,

don't talk to Jesus, you read the Bible,

he's always, fear not, fearnot, fear not, fear not.

The enemy causes fear, okay?

- This is Roxanne who says dearPat, I love "The 700 Club".

I DVR and watch every episode.

My question, is the crossnecklace considered an idol.

Is it wrong to buy orwear across necklace?

- I don't think so.

I mean, it's a piece of jewelry

and you know it may be anexpression of your faith.

There's definitely nothingwrong that I can see.

All right?

- This is Irene who says,

my 72 year old ex husbandholds grudges, has bitterness,

is unforgiving, speaksof getting you back,

and refuses to admit when he's wrong.

He has been nonambulatory

and in a hospital bed for nineyears due to four strokes.

He wants to walk and be ableto take a shower by himself.

He's been a Christiansince becoming a teenager.

Can God heal him withthe attitudes he has?

- Look the answer is can God heal,

God can do anything,

but he will not overcome that bitterness.

The Bible says, when you stand praying,

if you have ought against any forgive,

and if you hold bitterness in your heart,

it will eat like a cancer and destroy you.

And it's very possiblethat these strokes he's had

and this illness has beencaused by this bitterness.

It will eat at your insides.

So can God heal him?

Yes, God can.

Will God?

No, he won't.

So he needs to learn forgiveness,or he will stay a cripple

the rest of his life.

- This is Tracy who says my dad is 93,

and I am his financial power of attorney.

He has done well financiallyand is not sound of mind

when I asked him aboutcontinuing financial support.

I want him to continue tobe blessed and bless others.

What is your advice for tithingon his behalf, if at all?

- Well, I think if you'remanaging his affairs,

you want to bless him andI think that by all means

that tithing, you know but

he won't take financial advice

and you have power of attorney,

that means you run the money

and you wanna make the money grow,

so the best way to make it grow

will bring God's blessing on it,

so the answer is why not?

You have the power ofattorney, it's your estate,

now, manage it the bestway that you know how.

- Okay, this is a viewer who says,

what does it mean when someone says that

no one gets away with anything,

that God will surely deal with them.

Also it's said that there'snot anything that you can do

that will stop God fromloving you and blessing you.

So is there a chance that thepeople who are hurting you

will get by with it withno kind of punishment?

- That is a very complicated question.

And what you're asking is isGod going to zap my enemies

because they hurt me?

That's what you're,

and you really want revenge,

and the Bible says vengeanceis mine, sayeth the Lord.

And so leave it in hishand, but don't be hoping,

you know you want to pray foryour enemies, do good to them,

and to spitefully useyou and persecute you.

That's what you should do.

So always be praying forthem, and don't be saying,

well, God do it to 'em

it's time those so-and-so'sgetting zapped, okay?

Well that's all the time we've got,

thank you for being with us.

Today's Power Minute is from Psalm 20.

May He grant you accordingto your heart's desire

and fulfill all your purpose.

And tomorrow we've got the star

on the TV show "The Doctors".

He's gonna break down the health benefits

of what he calls intermediate fasting.

You may not like it, butyou'll be interested in it.

So for Terry and all ofus, we'll see you tomorrow.

Bye-bye.
