- [Terry] Pat, this firstquestion comes from Lisa.

She says, "Pat, I just wanted to say

I've been watching for a while

and I think you're so sharpand bright this summer."

Hey, how about that?

"Almost like you've taken off 10 years."

Lisa, your checks in themail, right? (laughs)

"Why do you think this is?

I wonder if the Lordis returning very soon

and he's letting his peoplehave their best summer yet,

or do you think it's the summer itself

that's made you and othersat the top of their game?"

- Well, I'll tell you what,I talk to the Lord a lot

and I say, God, I'm getting a little tired

you need to help me.

And I literally, I mean, Isay, Lord, I'm an old guy,

I'm 91 years old, I'm tired

and God just, I just feelthe spirit of God coming,

it's the Lord's spirit.

And by his spirit he canjust take an old hulk

and make it into something good

and that's what you do,

you empty yourself and let him fill it.

And I don't know thatit has anything to do

with the second coming

but it is, for me itmay be a second coming

so I'm delighted,

but I think he's gonnagive me another 29 years.

That's what I'm planning on.

Moses hit 120, I thoughtI could be that way.

- Well, I won't be here, but you can try.

(both laughing)

- It's all yours.- You go, Pat.

Okay, this is Patricia who says "Hi, Pat.

Will you please explain whatfasting means in the Bible?"

- Well, it means, He said Idenied myself my necessary food,

but there was Ezekiel, Daniel fast

where you didn't need anydessert or any pleasant bread,

where you only ate vegetables.

I mean, there's all kinds of fast.

Some people can fast inthe middle of the day,

they fast for a morning.

It means you deny yourselfyour necessary food

and in order to serve the Lord,

but Jesus did a lot of fasting

and he was fasting when theDevil came to him, all right?

- This is Tony who says, "Hi, Pat.

I believe in Jesus, I'veaccepted him as my Savior

and I'm going to bebaptized in water soon.

However, I can't stophaving suicidal thoughts.

I've seen a counselor andprayed with my pastor about it.

What can I do?"

- I tell you what,

I really believe thatthere's a spirit of suicide.

The Devil came to Jesus

and tried to get him to kill himself

and to jump off the tower.

The Lord will send his angels to catch you

but I mean, that was suicide

and I do believe thatthat is a demonic spirit

and that you need to get free from it.

I just don't believethat's something natural.

Of course people get,

depression is indeed a mental condition

that it can be caused by allkinds of hormonal changes

and so forth in your body.

But at the same time,

I think a spirit of suicide is, you know,

one is a spirit of murder

where you want to kill somebody else.

The other is the spirit is suicide,

where you want to kill yourself.

And I think it's demonic

and I think you need to getsomebody to pray with you

and then get you free from that.

- This is Tom who says, "Pat,may God bless the '700 Club'

and you for your faithfulness.

I am confused.

On one hand, those on the '700 Club'

have received and seem tosupport the COVID-19 vaccines,

while on other Christian programs

the vaccines are shownto be terribly dangerous.

How is this possible fromthe same Holy Spirit?"

- Well, I'm not sure the othersare led by the same spirit.

I mean, you got a lot of peoplewho have their own opinions

and what this is is opinions.

I think here's the deal,this COVID is a deadly virus

and it leads to brain problems.

It leads to heart problems.

It leads to muscle problems

and whatever vaccine you're taking,

whatever effect you mayhave from the vaccine

is minor compared to the effects of COVID.

So if this indeed willgive you some kind of,

at least temporary immunityyou ought to take it.

Now, other people

are listening to some ofthese other things, warning,

and I think it's dangerous

that they're tellingpeople not to get vaccines,

but I might also say

that there are kickbacksfrom some of these vaccines.

I mean the next time around,

in my own life, I had theJ&J and I was just fine.

And then a week or so ago

I got up and suddenlythe room was spinning.

I had to grab hold of the bedpost

and I was spinning around,

if I hadn't hold ofthat I would've fallen.

Then, in a day or two,

I worked out again andeverything was fine,

but I do think it was aresult of this vaccine.

So, I do think there'ssome minor inconveniences

that come about from itbut I do counsel people,

this COVID, the results are so terrible,

you shouldn't be afraidof taking the vaccines,

whether it's Pfizer,Moderna, or J&J, all right?
