- [Mom] I don't know if this will be
my last time to see him.
- [Narrator] Soon he'sfighting for every breath.
- It got worse pretty fast.
- [Narrator] And themachines couldn't help.
- And he was completely maxed out.
- [Narrator] So what saved his life?
- I've never seen God work that quick.
- [Narrator] The answeron today's "700 Club".
- This edition of "The 700 Club".
Afghanistan is in free fall
on the brink of an apocalyptic collapse.
The Islamic radicals capturedfour more major cities today,
and Kabul could fall within weeks.
After his shocking foreign policy failure
President Biden is now sending US troops
to rescue Americans.
And guess what?
The president is alsonegotiating with the Taliban,
talking about givingthem aid and money, why?
CBN's Brody Carter explains.
- The Taliban taking another
three provincial capitals today
as they're pressing a lightening offense
gradually and circlingthe Capitol city of Kabul.
Resurgence have capture morethan a dozen regional capitals
in mere days.
The state departmentexplaining why 3000 troops
are being rushed to Kabul Airport
to help with a partial evacuationof the American embassy.
- As we've said all along
the increased tempo of theTaliban military engagement
and the resulting increasein violence and instability
across Afghanistan is of grave concern.
- [Brody] In a major shift of power
Taliban forces captured the country
second and third largest cities, Thursday,
Kandahar and Herat.
Hours later Lashkar Gahwhere hundreds of US troops
have lost their lives
now a trophy for war resurgence.
13 of the countries 34 provincial capitals
now under Taliban control.
The Biden administration
now negotiating with Talibanleaders to spare the embassy
saying it must remain open and secure
if the group hopes to receiveAmerican financial aid
and other assistance.
The president refused to commenton the situation Thursday.
- The potential here forgrowing terrorists capabilities
and terrorists threats
deep within the heartland of Afghanistan
the way Bin Laden did is very real.
- [Brody] Taliban militants now control
two thirds of the country.
They command the north whilebattling Afghan soldiers
over shrinking territoryin the south and west.
This footage releasedby the Afghan government
shows airstrikes on Talibanposition in Kandahar
but it wasn't enough to slow them down.
Military personnel estimate Kabul
could fall in just 30 days.
The looming humanitarian crisis
expected to uproot nearly 300,000 families
with no place to call home.
In an effort to supportAfghanistan and its people
1200 allied Afghan refugees
have already come to the US with visas.
The government expectsto help thousands more.
- Additional flightswill begin landing daily
and you're going to see thetotal number grow very quickly
in the coming days and the coming weeks.
- For now the US embassy remains open
with plans to keep operating
with a core diplomatic presence,
but bringing in additional troops
is a sign that US doesn'tbelieve the Afghan government
can hold off the Taliban surge.
Brody Carter, CBS News.
- Our senior international correspondent,
George Thomas is with us, there is more.
George is the speed of thisTaliban takeover a surprise
as Afghany stand to becomea base for terrorists
to attack America?
- Yeah, I mean too many watching now
the collapse does seem very sudden, Pat
but not to the Taliban.
They'd been planning for thismoment for quite some time.
The pivotal moment, Pat, came last year
when the United States and the Taliban
signed an agreementcalled the Doha Agreement
back in February, 2020.
And under this agreement
signed by the previous administration,
the Trump administration partof the agreement was that
the United States wouldwithdraw all forces
from the country by this time right now.
And in exchange theTaliban would in essence,
not allow Afghanistan tobe a base of operation
for Al Qaeda, ISIS
and other Islamic terrorist organizations.
So the Taliban knew that the perception,
the feeling in the United States
was that they wanted our troops back home,
that they were done after this 20 years
of spending all this money,
the bloodshed in the country
was time to bring the troops back.
In the past year, the Taliban
they'd been working with warlords,
with various chiefs in the various tribes
across the country,
in essence, gaining their trust.
And in the last three, fourmonths, what we have seen,
and in especially inthe last couple of days,
they've taken all these majorcapitals of these provinces
in essence, Pat, without firing a bullet.
The Afghan army, in essence,handing the keys of the city
to the Taliban, they have been demoralized
when they knew that theUnited States and NATO forces
were about to leave the country.
They said, what is thisworth fighting for?
They had no trust inthe Afghan government.
You know, they, the African government
didn't treat them right, theydidn't pay them sufficiently.
Didn't feed them sufficiently
and the question was,
you know, why is this worth fighting?
Is this what fighting for?
And what you saw in the lastfew days has been stunning.
In essence, the Afghan security forces
handing the keys over to the Taliban.
- George, what have you learn out there?
We know what's gonna happen to women.
They don't believe in educating women,
they beating up women, they rape women,
but what's gonna happen to the Christians?
- Yeah, I was on the phone with a family
just a few hours right before the Taliban
took over the city of Herat,a major city in Afghanistan.
And they had gotten leaflets.
This particular Christian family, Pat
had five girls betweenthe ages of 16 and 21,
all believers.
And the note said thatif you have any women
in the household that are unmarried,
be prepared to hand themover to the Taliban fighters
as sex slaves.
In essence, Christiansare very, very concerned
about their future.
There are between 3000,nobody knows for sure,
between 5,000 and 8,000 believers
scattered across the country.
The church has grown in the last 20 years
has been tremendous growth in the church
and church leaders I'vespoken to inside the country
are very, very concernedabout their future.
- It's almost like what ISISdid to these Yazidi women.
I mean, they took themas sex slaves, something.
- Exactly.- Yeah.
- And this is exactly what we saw in Iraq.
When we pulled out of Iraq,
it became a breeding ground for ISIS.
And all experts that I've spoken to
there is no doubt that Al Qaeda,
the resurgence of Al Qaeda will happen.
Jihadist groups aroundthe world will now realize
that there is one country inthe world that they can go.
They can fundraise, theycan recruit, they can train,
that country could potentiallybe Afghanistan again.
- Thank you, George.
- You're welcome.
- Well, here at home more Democrats
now favor socialism over capitalism.
59% of registered Democrats
say they have a positiveview of socialism.
That was from a new, a Fox News poll,
but only 49% feel thatway about capitalism.
That's a big change from a year ago.
Among Republicans,
67% have a favorable view of capitalism
and just 8% have afavorable view of socialism.
Who is in charge of the Democratic Party?
Former, I mean, a socialist,actually a communist
whose name is Bernie Sanders.
AOC is on board and they aretrying to bring socialism
into this country.
And the Democrats say, we like socialism.
That shocks people.
They want the government to do everything
and the government iswilling to take over.
That's what they're tryingto put on to America
is a socialist agenda,we should fight about it.
Also in the news today marksthe one year anniversary
of a peace deal mostpeople never saw coming.
It was called the Abraham Accords,
but first they involved Israeland the United Arab Emirates,
but soon and other doors opened.
Well, what lies ahead?
Here's CBN Middle Eastbureau chief, Chris Mitchell,
with a look at the impactof this historic creation.
- [Chris] When Israel in theUAE normalized relations,
it became the first peaceagreement between the Jewish state
and an Arab state in 26 years.
Within four monthsBahrain, Sudan and Morocco
also signed onto the Abraham Accords.
- It is very rare that there'san opportunity for a win win
that can be transformational,not just for a country,
but for a region.
And the Abraham Accords isthat transformational moment
in history.
- [Chris] What makesthese agreements different
is the focus on includingbusiness, tourism,
education and researchbetween the countries.
That's helped open the doors
to nearly $2 billionworth of business deals.
- This been a very uniqueopportunity between UAE and Israel
to come with an agreement ofpeace and tolerance together.
- What this has done isrealigned the Middle East
between countries thatwant peace and prosperity
and countries who want to continue
to battle age-old conflicts.
- [Chris] Jerusalem DeputyMayor, Fleur Hassan-Nahoum
and Abdullah Baqer work together
on the UAE Israel business council.
- The Abraham Accords
it's not about the Jews and the Muslims.
It's also about other nationalities,
other religions thattheir involvement to this
'cause we all live together.
- We hope that themomentum that is created
will be enough for othercountries to join the alliance
of the good countries in the Middle East.
- [Chris] When it comes to the Accords,
the United States played a major role,
including players like Aryeh Lightstone,
former advisor to theUS ambassador to Israel.
- There was an artificial line
dividing Israel and othernations in the region and beyond.
And it just didn't make sense.
- [Chris] Lightstone says theUS brought allies together
erasing unnatural divides andtrying to remove the hurts.
- Look at the places thatare pillars of hope and light
for the region Bahrain,the United Arab Emirates,
and obviously the state of Israel.
When they can work together,
it's going to drive more opportunity
for more people in the region.
- [Chris] Given therecent leadership changes
in the US and Israel,
some fear the Accords might not last.
- The Abraham Accords and peace in general
is not a Republican thing,it's not a Democrat thing.
It's an American thing.
- You know, the Americansdid the fantastic thing
of creating thecircumstances for this peace
and pushing us all together.
But now that it's been signedeverybody is 100% committed
and now it's got its own legs.
- [Chris] Lightstone's adviceto those on the outside
is to continue to pray.
- They're called the Abraham for a reason.
This is the reunificationof Abraham and his children.
And this was brought together
by the United States of America
who saw the region clearly,embraced our friends
and made very cleardemands of our enemies.
- Chris, is with us now.
Chris is, when they got together,
they just bypass the Palestinians
who were nothing but trouble.
They've been trouble all along.
They haven't wanted to come together.
They're asking for twostates and all that stuff,
but what's the deal now with Biden?
- Well, Pat, like you said,
you know, for almost a generation,
it was that there could beno peace in the Middle East,
unless you solve the IsraeliPalestinian conflict.
But what these nations finally realized
the United Arab Emirates,Bahrain and others
is that they weren't gonnaallow the Palestinian authority
to have a veto over them,normalizing relations with Israel.
And they saw the benefits.
They saw the benefits intechnology, tourism and trade.
You see businesses booming right now
between Israel and the UAE.
A 600 million so far thisyear about a billion as well.
And they also have a common enemy path.
They have an existential threat in Iran
and they see that threat mutually.
And they also see militaryimplications in this,
not just business implications,they can share intelligence.
For example, if Israel everdecides to attack Iran,
they can have fly over rightsover Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
And so it means a lot.
And so this is a, this is something there,
not allowing the Palestinian authority
to have a veto over any more.
And they see a brighterfuture working together
in the Abraham Accords.
- Chris, talk about theprophetic implications
of these Accords.
- Well, Pat, you have talkedto and talked extensively
over the years about Ezekiel 38 and 39,
a confederation of nationscoming against Israel.
And if you look at the map right there,
you'll see that many of those nations
are part of the Abraham Accords
are really not part ofnecessarily Ezekiel 38 and 39.
And yet you see surrounding those nations,
you see a nations likemodern day, Iran, Persia,
Turkey, Russia, getting more belligerent
and aggressive against Israel.
And so you see two trend lines going on.
First of all, Pat, peaceful relations
with some of these nationsimmediately surrounding Israel.
And on the other hand,
you see this access ofnations like Turkey and Russia
and Iran, more belligerent against Israel.
So these two trendlinesare happening right now,
and they seem to fit in tothe prophetic implications
of Ezekiel 38 and 39.
- Amen, we're going to watch this closely,
but I think in prophetic word,
Ezekiel 38 is the nextbig one that's coming up
and the players are in place,the chips are on the table,
is getting ready to do.
And Chris, we thankyou for the work you do
over there in in Israel, Terry.
- Well, up next one in three Americans
thinks the 2020 election was stolen.
Are they under theillusion of the big lie?
And if so, why are theremore and more demands
for statewide audits?
Plus, a soaring temperature of 105
and plummeting oxygen levels,
a young man battles COVID in the hospital.
So what miracle giveshis nurse goosebumps?
Stay tuned you'll find out.
(ethereal music)
- Well get to this,
the major media saidthat the last election
was the most secure ever,
but in this day and age three Americans,
one in three, think that the2020 election was stolen.
Now which was it?
We're going to have alook now as Dale Hurd
has the look at auction,
I means, audits that are taking place
all across the country.
- [Reporter] 2016.
- [Dale] Watch mainstreammedia news reports
about claims the 2020 election was stolen
and you'll first be greetedwith a banner that says
such claims are false,bogus or the big lie.
Even the former head of cybersecurity
for the federal governmentunder Donald Trump says
2020 was the most secureelection in US history.
Christopher Krebs waseventually fired by Trump.
- What's really developedis two different realities.
It's the one we live in that'sbased on truth and trust
and the other that's based on whatever
the former president says.
- But a recent Rasmussen Poll
shows almost one in three American voters
now think the election was stolen.
If Joe Biden did win fair and square,
it was one of the strangestand most improbable victories
in presidential election history.
One that went opposite totrusted election metrics
that go back decades.
There's a saying that wherethere's smoke there's fire.
And when it comes to claims
that something was seriously amiss
with the 2020 election results,
there certainly seemsto be a lot of smoke.
Where's the smoke?
For starters thousands of sworn affidavit
to alleging electionfraud or irregularities
given under penalty of perjury.
New Mexico State Universitylaw professor, David Clements,
a former assistant districtattorney on the Southern border
says the evidence of wrongdoingin the 2020 elections
is far stronger than thedrug cases he prosecuted.
- I've never had a casewith this much evidence
with this degree ofquality to the evidence
in my entire career.
- [Dale] Clements who's assisting
a volunteer army of thousandsof concerned Americans
meeting on the app Telegram
under the name America First Audit,
building a case for election fraud
under the leadership ofGeneral, Michael Flynn.
Another leader of the group,
former army captain, SethKeshel and elections expert,
who correctly picked all 50states in the 2016 election
says he's uncovered atleast 8 million excess votes
for Joe Biden, votesthat should not exist.
- It's easiest to find instates that track voters,
registered voters by party.
And you can see the trend line
where Biden's projectedvote total should wind up.
I estimate generously for Biden
and you still wind up witha total list beyond logic.
- [Dale] Keshel says hisshowed Trump won Pennsylvania,
Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Arizona and Nevada,
whether or not that's actually the case
we do know that Trump carried18 of 19 bellwether counties,
which have correctly predicted the winner
of every presidential election since 1980.
And yet somehow Trump lost.
CBN News, election analyst, John Waage.
- So these are thecounties that we look at.
I've been studying thesethings for more than 40 years.
And what we look at are the counties
where the presidential winnercomes out on top every time.
- [Dale] Trump also carriedfour bellwether states,
Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Iowa.
But Keshel says the moststartling thing to him
from the election wasthe Trump won Florida,
but not Pennsylvania and Michigan.
The three states havetrended together since 1932.
- 88 years in a row.
So 22 consecutive elections,
Florida, Pennsylvania andMichigan trend together.
And then this year is the one
where they no longer trend together.
- [Dale] Other indicators thatshowed Trump should have won
his overwhelming strengthin the primaries.
- Trump was not a weak incumbent
regardless of what themedia puts out there.
Trump had one of the highestshares of primary vote ever.
94%.
- [Dale] Another indicatorfor a Trump victory
was his gaining of record 11million more votes in 2020
than he did in 2016.
- From my perspective as an analyst,
things have never addedup about this election.
I mean, Joe Bidencampaign from his basement
and he finishes with far morevotes than his predecessor,
Barack Obama, it doesn't make sense.
- [Dale] Election auditshave been underway
or are being fought over in six states.
The audit fight inMaricopa county, Arizona
has led to a newinvestigation of the county
by the state's Republicanattorney general,
even as the audit has been blasted
by the state's democraticsecretary of state
who calls it a sham.
- I think it's doing a lot of harm,
not just to elections here in Arizona,
but there are electionofficials across the country
watching what's going onhere with a lot of concern
because they are honestlywriting the playbook
because they want to dothis and other state.
- [Dale] An audit is also underway
in Fulton county, Georgia,the home of Atlanta
and reportedly so rife with corruption,
state lawmakers may attempt to take over
the county election board.
One of the leaders of the movement
to uncover electionfraud, MyPillow founder,
Mike Lindell presented his evidence
at a cyber symposium this week
and offered $5 millionto anyone who could prove
his evidence of a stolenelection was wrong.
Some in the media have nowdecided the inventor of the
MyPillow is a threat to the nation.
But it's interesting to note
who else has said our electionprocess is not secure,
Democrats, a lot of them,
after the 2016 election.
- These voting machinescan be hacked quite easily.
- You could easily hack into them.
- But researchers haverepeatedly demonstrated
that ballot recording machinesand other voting systems
are susceptible to tampering.
- Even hackers withlimited prior knowledge,
tools and resources are ableto breach voting machines
in a matter of minutes.
- We know how vulnerablenow our systems were.
We know, I know the hackathonthat took place last year
where virtually everymachine was broken into
fairly quickly.
- I actually held ademonstration for my colleagues
here at the Capitolwhere we brought in folks
who before our eyeshacked election machines.
- [Dale] It's not clearhow America's election
suddenly became so secure in 2020,
but if they really are secure
and nothing was amissin Joe Biden's victory,
no one should fear an audit.
Dale Hurd, CBN News.
- Well, you know, so theydoing, what are we gonna do?
We're gonna overturn the election
and say that Biden's victory is improper
and then suddenly he's notthe new, the president?
But I tell you folks, I thought for sure
that the Lord had spokenthat Trump was going to win.
I, so many others felt the same thing.
And when it was, theresults were announced,
somebody who spent most ofthe campaign in his basement
and didn't come out to debate.
And all of a sudden he getsmore votes than Barack Obama
who was extraordinarily popular.
It didn't compute and itstill doesn't compute,
but what do we do about it?
I mean, so they, are wegonna change the election now
and overturn it?
It's unlikely that it'll happen.
But at the same time, Americadidn't vote in socialism
and that's what we're getting.
And so one would only hopethat something would be done,
but maybe is it too late?
I have no idea what theresults will finally be,
but it's amazing how many of these things
are being uncovered andhow much fraud was involved
in this whole process.
So who knows, but I'll tell you,
if anybody says this on social media,
he or she will get immediately cut off
of their platform.
They can't talk on Twitter.
They can't talk on any of these things
because the liberal mediadoesn't wanna hear it,
but is it too late?
It looks like it is,
but this country didn't vote in socialism
and that's what we're getting, Terry.
- Well, still ahead, aspecial Friday edition
of your questions andPat's honest answers.
Madison says, is it wrong to keep praying
over and over for healingif God has not healed you?
Stay tuned, Pat will answerthat and more that's coming up.
But first, a miracle in the ICU.
Doctors we're moments away from intubating
this COVID patient.
So what made him startbreathing on his own?
And why did his nurse call it
the most miraculous event of her life.
(ethereal music)
A temperature of 105,
coupled with pneumoniaand an oxygen level so low
doctors were just aboutto intubate COVID patient,
Vincent Molder.
That's when somethingextraordinary happened in the ICU
that Vincent's nursedescribed as breathtaking.
So what was it?
See for yourself.
- We hold hands together and we pray.
And I tell him like, noson, look at me, son,
you know, breathe in Jesus'name, breathe, you know?
And at the same time,God is like telling me,
you know, you know, focuswith me, Jerilyn, you know,
don't give up, I'm here, I'm here.
- [Narrator] JerilynMolder was in a battle
for her son's survival
after COVID-19 spreadthrough her household.
It started with her husband, Billy.
- I've never had thatintense of pain before.
A lot of fluid in the lungs, you know?
I had to had that andpneumonia in in both lungs
and it was rough.
It felt like breathing fire to me.
- [Narrator] After sufferingat home for several days,
Billy was taken byambulance to the hospital.
Their son, Vincent, who has special needs
was admitted a few days laterwith a 105 degree temperature
and pneumonia.
Dr. Michael Helton was his physician.
- He had some heart conditions
and adrenal gland issues.
So we knew he had somechallenges already going in
when he first came in with COVID
and we knew we had a quitea battle on our hands
so when he firstpresented to the hospital.
- With Vincent it's really hard for me
to leave him there with his situations.
I don't know if this willbe my last time to see him,
you know, in all that.
And then I just prayedto God that, you know,
for them to allow me to be with him,
because they will be having ahard time to understand him.
- [Narrator] Thankfully,after one night apart,
the hospital allowedJerilyn to stay with him
because she was alreadyinfected with mild symptoms.
They created an environmentof worship and prayer
in his room.
His nurse Leona remembers it fondly.
- Every time you walkedinto his room, he said,
"God is good, God is powerful."
And I would hear them singingfirst thing in the morning
their mornings, or hymns and, you know,
talking and praying and everything.
- Well, they were always,you know, quoting scriptures
and praying together and, you know,
praying for me and the staff.
And this really is this Nate.
He was always saying, "God is good.
And God's gonna heal me,"and all these great things
he was saying the whole time.
- [Narrator] Even in anenvironment of faith,
Vincent had to fight forhis life with every breath.
- You know, he got worse pretty fast.
And he, you know, had it gonewith very high level of oxygen
to keep going.
And we thought we had to intubate him.
- It was really hard to see him
having a hard time to breathe,
but to see him not giving up and fighting
and still like prayingto God and asking God to,
you know, to help him.
And he still worships him
and still tellingeverybody how good he is,
is what's like really like got me.
- [Narrator] But withVincent his oxygen level
dangerously low doctors asked Jerilyn
for permission to intubate.
- With a heavy heart. I still like,
I still gave my permissionbecause I'm not a doctor.
And so I told them, okay, you know
and, I was just prayed to God.
- [Narrator] As Vincentstruggled to breathe,
nurse Leona tried once againto get his oxygen level up
before transferring himto the ICU for intubation.
- He was on vapor therm andhe was completely maxed out,
which is 40 liters at 100%.
I just couldn't get hisoxygen up past 85, 86.
I felt defeated in a way.
- [Narrator] Jerilynknelt down on the floor
and asked God to interveneon her son's behalf.
- I said like, God, I know thatyou know that I love my son.
And I know that to love him more.
And you'll always be there forhim ever since he was a baby,
you've done so much beautiful in his life.
And so I said, but if it'syour will extend his life.
- [Narrator] His nurseLeona then witnessed
the answered prayer.
- She dropped her kneesand she started praying.
And I looked at the rapidresponse guy and I said,
"Do you see this?"
And his oxygen, no lie, itstill gives me goosebumps.
His oxygen went from 85, 86, 87,
88, 89, 90,
and then stayed above 90for the rest of the time.
It was breathtaking
because I've never seenGod work that quick.
I mean, he worked quick.
- I just felt like peace after I prayed.
I felt like God like just hugged me
and just told me, like, you know,
it's gonna be all right, my daughter,
it's gonna to be all right.
- [Narrator] From that moment on
Vincent began breathing normally
and no longer needed oxygen.
- Oxygen.
- I knew it.
- After visit with God
- [Mom] No more.
- No more big machine.
- I've never witnessed somuch of a miraculous event
in my life.
And so like, I mean, God is good.
God is completely good through that.
- [Mom] Yeah, fill it.
- I think God really showed up big for him
and I think there was definitelya hand of God on his life
and the power of prayer andhis life really made an impact.
Through prayer and God's intervention
he was able to stay off the ventilator
and he started turningaround and you know,
he's doing great now from that.
- [Narrator] After 23 days,
Vincent left the hospital COVID free.
Jerilyn and Billy also recovered.
The Molders say they are honored
that God gave them thisamazing answer to prayer
and share it everywhere they can.
- We've been a family of faith before,
but when you see a miraclehappen in your life
with your own eyes, thattakes it to a whole new level.
- God is good.
He helped me, he healed me.
He visit me in the hospital.
He love me, Jesus does.
- It is the toughest time ofour life and the hardest time
but then it's the most,the most amazing feeling
to experience God,
you know, right before your eyes.
- What an amazing and powerful impact
the story had on that whole hospital.
Everybody is-- Yeah, I mean-
- He was-- Dying.
- Dying.- Dying.
And God moved in and oh, that's,
hey folks, God is good.
That's what they kept saying.
God is good, we believe in him.
Now we want to pray for you
so you, so this is amiracle that's happened
to that wonderful boy,
but God is going to do something for you.
Now here's the answer that has come in.
Ken of Maylene, Alabama tooka nasty fall on July one.
That's this month, thelast month, we just turned,
it left him with a bonefragment behind his left eye.
He was watching our program on July 30.
Terry said, "Someone, youhave an eye condition.
The muscle of your eye
not having enough tension
and God's correcting it."
Knowing the word of knowledge was for him.
Ken believed it.
After the prayer, more tests were done
and that bone fragment was gone.
- Wow.- Wow.
- Well, here's another one.
This is Jerry who livesin York, Pennsylvania
suffered from terriblemuscle pain and scoliosis.
After months of suffering,
she was watching thisprogram this past July.
And she heard you, Pat say,
"Somebody has scoliosis of the spine.
God is just strengthening your back.
You'll stand up absolutelystraight, stand up right now."
Jerry had always been skepticalof words of knowledge,
but she knew this one was for her.
The pain in her spine andmuscles left immediately.
- Wow, you know, I rememberthat and God is good.
Now, listen, we want to pray for you.
And I just believe thatGod wants to do miracles.
You see the Lord said, hitherto,
listen hitherto you haveasked nothing in my name,
ask, ask, and you shall receive, why?
That's your joy might be for.
God wants you to have joy
and he delights in the factthat we give him praise
when these things happen.
Now Terry and I are gonna pray for you.
And we're gonna believe God for miracles
and God Almighty is going to do them.

So people, even though thisprogram is no longer on the air,
because the times are,we'll still be here.
These folks are on thephone, 24 hours a day, okay?
Terry.
- Well, up next, we have a sin problem
and not just a skin problem.
That quote is from a speech that resonated
throughout our nation last summer.
The big question, howcan we overcome injustice
with a zero victim mentality?
The man behind the messageis going to tell us himself
after this.
(ethereal music)
Last summer James Ward was thrust
into the national spotlight overnight,
all because of a zero victim message
he shared at a press conference.
So where did he get thegenesis of that message?
From something he learnedin the third grade.
- [Narrator] During the summer of 2020
pastor and author James E. Ward Jr.
came to national prominence
after the police shootingof Jacob Blake, Jr.
in Kenosha, Wisconsin
when he was asked to leadthe family press conference
on live television.
He shared a message birthed inhis heart in the third grade,
which addressed the spiritualand moral law crisis
in America.
In his updated book, "Zero Victim"
James shares biblicalprinciples on how to heal
and reconcile our country byeliminating negative thinking
and developing a new attitude in Christ.
- Please, welcome to "The 700 Club".
A graduate of Regent University,
School of Divinity, James E. Ward.
It's nice to have you with us today.
- Hi Terry, it's great to be with you
and thank you so much for having me.
Thanks for the great work you and Pat
the team are doing there.
- Well, thanks James.
Well, take us back, if youwill, to the third grade,
what happened then that set you up
for a zero victim mentality?
- Sure, growing up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama
at the tail end of segregation,
being bused to the white side of town,
it was a pivotal moment for me,
a life-changing moment where I discovered
with the help of my third grade teacher,
that I was as smart asany of the white kids
that were around me.
She put our names up on the board
and I discovered that I was doing well
and something clicked.
It was the grace of God.
Something clicked in my mind
and I recognized that I was not inferior.
And since that time, I didn'tbelieve in white supremacy
because I don't believein black inferiority.
It was then that the seed was planted
that I was not a victim.
And certainly with God's help
that the people around mecould not hold me back.
That even if I was in a hostile situation,
that that could not limitme from the great things
that God had called me to do in life.
That set the trajectory forthe remainder of my life
until this very day.
- It's such a freeing message.
You were asked to speak at Jacob Blake's
family press conference
after that Kenosha shooting in 2020,
how did that change your life?
- It changed our life in the sense that
it really just provideda different platform.
You know, it was a crisis.
We certainly wish that it never happened,
but God has a way, you know,
of turning things that weremeant for evil into good.
And it became just a greater platform
for a message that we'dalready been preaching.
Something that I'd beenteaching in my church.
And of course, Julia Jackson,the mother of Jacob Blake
is a member of our church andhas been part of that message.
And so it really helpedus to deliver this message
to the nation at a time thatit was really, really needed
in terms of how to push thereset button on race relations,
to socio-political tension.
We need to overcome thisinjustice and the challenges
that we're facing.
America needs a new attitude.
And I believe that thisbook is the solution
to help us understand howto put on that new attitude,
to face off with the challenges
that we're dealing with in life right now.
- Well, one of the issuesis just labeling each other.
You consider yourself a black American
as opposed to anAfrican-American, talk about that.
- I say that becauseI've traveled to Africa
on numerous occasions
and there are more than 51different countries in America,
in Africa, you know, whetherit's Nigeria or Kenya
or South Africa and beingan American is who I am.
Black American, it describes who I am.
African-American that'skind of a broad term
that I think even contributesto identity crisis.
And so being a black American,
this is my home, this is mynation, this is my country.
And it just, it's another way to free me
to engage and to honor this nation
to place a value on this nation
and to continue to see God'spurposes for America fulfilled.
- James, how can a change in attitude
help to overcome injustice in our country?
- One of the things that weneed to recognize, Terry is
when we talk about a change of attitude,
modeling the life of Jesus,
zero victim mindset was themindset of Jesus himself.
Think about it, the onlyinnocent man that ever lived,
who walked on the face of this planet,
he's suffered the greatest injustice
that the world has ever known.
And while in the processof being victimized
and the nails are stillbeing driven in his hand,
he's already praying father, forgive them.
Every other injusticeis a lesser injustice.
And so when we returnto one nation under God,
when we continue to stick tothe fundamentals of faith,
the legacy of faith that we have,
then having a new attitudegives us a different perspective
about dealing with the things
that we're facing with society.
We need to put on a new set of lenses
so that we read freedominto our circumstances
instead of putting on victim lenses
to read victim mentalityand victim thinking
into our circumstances,
America needs a change ofheart and a change of attitude.
And that has to begin withspiritual and moral laws,
not gonna come fromconstitutional or civil law.
- So share with us a few key steps
people can take to overcomea victim mentality?
- Sure, the first big idea isto always act and never react.
And then I give somepractical tips in the book.
I write about this.
Number one, you need to know yourself,
you need to know your tendencies.
You need to know whatwounds, what moral injuries,
you know, what kind of victimizations
have happened in your lifethat are liabilities to you.
Number two, you need toknow your environment.
You need to be able to identifypitfalls of victimizations
whether those are in yourfamily, in your relationships,
in the workplace, socio-politically.
Number three, you need a coach.
I wanna be America's zero victim coach,
America zero victim pastor,
which is why I wrote this book.
Someone who understandszero victim to encourage us
to help us come out of victim thinking
whenever those thingsare problems in our life.
Number four, we need toalways precondition our mind
the same way that acatcher in a baseball game
he anticipates a pitch coming toward him.
It can be deadly if he'sunprepared, but when he's prepared
he anticipates that pitch coming
because he's pretty conditioned his mind.
That's how we deal withdefense and victimization.
And lastly, we just needto envision our victory,
always see your way out.
See the end out of theproblem and the challenges
that we're facing sothat we don't continue
to exist under them
to have our lives defined by those things.
And so there are so many practical tips.
I really hope yourviewers can read the book.
It's a great companionguide to the scriptures
and to our faith is as God's people
and to those who areeven not people of faith.
I think it's a practical guide
to help everyone overcomethe challenges in life
with a new attitude.
- I thought that as I read it, James,
it is a book for everyone.
The book is called "Zero Victim."
It's available wherever books are sold.
It's a great message inthe day that we live in.
Thanks James, for being with us today.
- My pleasure, Terry, thanksfor having me all the best.
- You too, coming up,we've got your email.
Olivia says, Pat, wouldn't it be better
to give each family $1 million
instead of all funds goingto the infrastructure bill?
Sounds like a plan to me.
Well, we got your questions.
Pat's got some honestanswers straight ahead.
(ethereal music)
- Here's one for you.
Suddenly David's whole bedit was covered by water.
And then the kitchen flooded.
And then the whole house.
The night of this flood in Mexico,
a year's worth of rain fell in six hours.
Nine year old David thoughthe was going to die.
So what happened instead?
See for yourself.
(ethereal music)
- [Narrator] When wearrived at Sinaloa, Mexico,
just after the flood,
people showed us what happenedwhen 12 months worth of rain
fell in just six hours.
CBN's Operation Blessing wasone of the first on the scene,
unloading and providingemergency supplies,
water and hot meals.
That's where we met nine-year-old David.
He lives with his mom, a single parent.
The night of the flood, he toldus, he thought he would die.
- My bed was suddenly covered by water.
Then the kitchen, then thewhole house was flooded,
everything.
- [Narrator] So in additionto providing food and water
for the kids, we also showedthem episodes of "Superbook".
During that first episode,
David learned how another kid named David
faced the giant and won.
He prayed to receive Jesusas his savior that day.
- I felt happy because I talked with Jesus
and I asked him to protect us.
- [Narrator] The next day,David set his needs aside
and helped OperationBlessing to deliver supplies
to those cleaning up after the disaster.
Then we brought Davidand his mom a surprise,
a new mattress to replacethe one ruined in the flood.
- I was so happy when I sawyou bringing the new mattress.
Thanks for helping us.
- Aint that wonderful?
A flood in Mexico.
Look, we help people all over the world.
Operation Blessing helpsseveral hundred million people.
We're not talking about just a five or 10
we talking of people all over the world.
Food, medicine, shelter, medical,
I mean all kinds of things that they need
because we are your hand extended.
And if, how do you get involved
in helping somebodylike David in the flood?
It's $20 a month, 65 cents a day
and you become a member of "The 700 Club".
And when you do, and when you enroll,
we wanna send you somethingthat I was privileged to do
is to read you versesof salvation and victory
is called God is For Us.
And we'll send this to you as our gift,
because we want you to be blessed.
- Absolutely, well here is somebody
who already listened to God Is For Us.
Mary lives in Silver Creek, Mississippi.
She said, dear Pat, thankyou for God Is For Us.
I plan to keep it in my car,
listen to it regularlyas I drive to and fro
to remind me of God's great salvation.
Those are wonderfulscriptures from Romans.
- We're gonna try toget some from Ephesians
here in a little while
and so we'll have asecond book out of that.
This is from Romans only.
- Okay, well now it'stime for your questions
and Pat's honest answers.
(ethereal music)
Okay, Pat, the first questioncomes from Madison who says,
is it wrong to keep prayingover and over for healing
if God has not healed you?
- That's exactly,
you see it as wrong.
You know, Jesus taught usthat's exactly what you do.
Is Greek present, keep on asking,
Keep on knocking, keep on believing.
Keep on trusting, keep on asking.
He gave the story about the unjust judge
and the woman who cameto her and kept on asking
until she got an answer.
Well, now when God says,okay, you've got it.
Then start praising him, okay?
But in the meantime,it's Greek present tense.
Keep on knocking, keep on asking.
And the door will be open, okay?
- This is Olivia who says,
Pat, wouldn't it bebetter to give each family
a million dollars instead of all funds
going to the infrastructure bill?
Giving each family a sizableamount would increase spending,
add to tax revenue and would cost less.
- Well, that's nice but actually,
what we really want to do with the money
is that stripped down business where
they'll build the roadsand build the bridges
and build a high speed internetand all the things we need
instead of all those social programs.
But yes, it would probably be just as well
with the social pressure.
It would be just as wellto go in the helicopter
and throw $1,000 bills out the window.
So it really is gonna be wasted,
but the part on infrastructure, you know,
you don't wanna give that away, all right.
- This is Melinda who sayshi, Pat, throughout the years,
I've heard you explain about the end times
and that there isn't going to be a rapture
before the tribulation,
when Jesus returns, it will befor the thousand year reign.
What do you do with 1 Thessalonians 4:16?
Where does this fit withinthe timeline in revelation?
- Well, look, I believe in the rapture,
the rapture means it'sfrom the word rapturo,
it means I snatch.
And the Lord says when in the last times
there'll be a trumpet call
and he will send his angels tothe four corners of the earth
that he might take hisbeloved to be with him.
So I believe in a raptureand I believe it will happen.
The question is this teaching that says,
there's going to be a pre tribulation
before there's any tribulation
will be caught up and thenthere'll be seven years and so.
That isn't scriptural.
The Bible says at the lasttrump and the Bible also says
immediately after thetribulation of those days
then will appear the signof the son of man in heaven.
And he will gather his elect
from the four corners of the earth.
It's after that you're not free.
And the idea that's being taught now
comes out of a prophecythat some woman gave,
a young woman years ago.
And it's just isn't scriptural,I'm sorry, all right.
- This is David whosays, if HR-1 is passed,
how can Republicans win an election
that can be won by creating ballots
that under the constitutionshould not be counted?
However, even if HR-1is defeated, Arizona,
Georgia, Pennsylvania,Wisconsin and Michigan
have already discovered
how to circumvent theirstate legislators voting laws
and have yet to be fully exposed.
What can America that we allknow and love do to survive?
- Well, what you can dois vote your legislature.
And that's the most important thing
the constitution gives most of this stuff
to the state legislatures.
But I have to thank that the truth is
we as America, the HR-1,
it doesn't do all thestuff that's you said,
but what it does isallow absentee ballots.
And that's the danger,
absentee ballots givento people who don't,
you don't know who theyare, can't identify them.
That's where fraud comes in, all right.
- Hey, this is JM who says,
isn't a sin to have relations with a man
even I never wanted to get married to him
or have children with him?
- Is it sin to have haverelations without a man
and you don't wanna get-- With a man.
- I believe they call that fornication,
the last time I readthe Bible, is it a sin?
Yes, if you really love him that much,
why don't you get married?
Well, what's keepingyou from being married,
but yes, it is a sin to do that.
And I don't know whereyou get your theology,
but it isn't in the Bible, all right.
Well, today's powerminute is from Psalm 16.
You will show me the path of life,
your presence is fullness of joy
and at your right handare pleasures forevermore.
Well on Monday, we've gota supernational encounter.
A prodigal save from suicide.
Thanks for being with us.
