YOUR HEART.

TORNADOES RIPPED THROUGH SIX

STATES.

Reporter: PRESIDENT BIDEN IS

VIGIL FOR THE LOST AND GRIEVING.

STORIES OF SURVIVAL EMERGING

FROM THE RUBBLE.

THIS MAN THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE.

AFTER BEING TRAPPED UNDER A

PILE OF DEBRIS IN HIS HOME.

HIS ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD IS

GONE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I SURVIVED

IT.

IT HAPPENED SO QUICK.

IT WAS FAST-MOVING.

AND IT SOUNDED LIKE TWO FREIGHT

TRAINS. I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS

GOING TO DROP ON TOP OF THE

WALL AND COMPLETELY CRUSH ME.

I WAS SCARED.

I KNEW I WAS GOING TO DIE.

Reporter: MORE THAN 100

ACROSS KENTUCKY ARE UNACCOUNTED

FOR.

THE GOVERNOR SAID HE EXPECTS

THE DEATH TOLL TO KEEP RISING.

AS SEARCH CREWS, THROUGH THE

RUINS.

THE LEVEL OF ABSOLUTE

DESTRUCTION IN ONE PLACE, IT IS

HARD TO DESCRIBE.

Reporter: EIGHT DIED WHEN

THIS CANDLE FACTORY WAS SMASHED

TO PIECES AT LEAST 74 PEOPLE

KILLED ACROSS THE STATE.

THIS FATHER GRIEVING THE LOSS

OF HIS TWO-MONTH-OLD DAUGHTER.

WAKING ME OUT.

I WILL MISS HER NOT WANTING TO

BE PUT DOWN. WANTING HER DADDY

IT WAS SUCH A BLESSING.

THEY WERE ABLE TO QUICKLY TAKE

THAT MATERIAL AND HANDED OUT TO

PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY.

Reporter: VOLUNTEERS ARE

> UP NEXT, PAT WILL ANSWER

YOUR VOICEMAIL QUESTIONS.

ALESSANDRA AND BOB ARE UP FIRST.

ARE SPECIAL EDITION OF

VOICEMAIL 700 CLUB BEGINS AFTER

THIS.

> WELCOME TO THE SPECIAL

EDITION OF "THE 700 CLUB".

WE HAVE YOUR VOICEMAIL

QUESTIONS AND WE HAVE PAT HERE,

WITH ALL THE WISDOM THAT GOD

HAS GIVEN HIM TO GIVE BACK TO

YOU.

WE WILL START WITH ALESSANDRA

FROM CALIFORNIA.

I WAS WONDERING WHY WE

CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS ON 25

DECEMBER, IF CHRIST WAS NOT

BORN UNTIL DECEMBER?

I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE

EXPLANATION. THAT IS A VERY

GOOD QUESTION.

THE WINTER SOLSTICE AND THE

SUMMER SOLSTICE.

AND HERE IS WHAT HAPPENS.

ON DECEMBER 23, THE DAYS GET

SHORTER.

ON THE 24th THEY GET SHORTER.

ON THE 25th THEY START COMING

BACK.

YOU GET A LONG DAY.

AND YOU GO FROM DARKNESS TO

LIGHT.

AND THIS WAS CELEBRATED A LONG

TIME BEFORE. IT WAS THE 25th.

WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME.

THE WORLD COMES ALIVE AT THAT

PARTICULAR TIME AND WHAT A

WONDERFUL TIME FOR THE WORLD.

EMPEROR CONSTANTINE MADE IT

OFFICIAL, HE WAS THE FIRST

CHRISTIAN EMPEROR. HE MAY

DECEMBER 25 OFFICIAL.

THAT IN MY OPINION IS THE REASON

WHY IT IS THE 25th.

HERE IS BOB FROM

PENNSYLVANIA WITH THIS QUESTION.

I'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR PAT.

THE BIBLE SAYS IN ACTS THAT THE

PEOPLE REPENTED AND GOT BAPTIZED

IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS

CHRIST.

BUT IF YOU READ IN MATTHEW IT

SAYS TO BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME

OF THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY

GHOST.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO BE

BAPTIZED? IN THE NAME OF JESUS

OR IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER,

SON AND HOLY GHOST?

WE COVERED IT ALL.

I BAPTIZE YOU IN THE NAME OF

THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE

HOLY SPIRIT, IN JESUS' NAME.

AND THEN WE DO IT.

WE COVER ALL THE BASES.

I DON'T THINK THE LORD IS HUNG

UP ON ANY PARTICULAR FORMULA.

I THINK WE ARE BAPTIZING THEM

INTO JESUS WITH THE RUN NEWNESS

OF LIFE.

THE WAY WE USED TO DO IT, WE

DID IT ALL.

I HAD ALL THE BASES COVERED.

I LIKE THAT.

FLORENCE FROM PITTSBURGH,

PENNSYLVANIA HAS THIS

QUESTION. IF YOU FALL OUT

WITH SOMEONE AND YOU DON'T SEE

THAT PERSON TO FORGIVE THEM,

CAN YOU FORGIVE THEM IN YOUR

HEART?

AND CAN YOU FORGIVE THEM AFTER

THEIR DEAD?

I THINK IT IS YES TO BOTH OF

THOSE QUESTIONS.

THE BIBLE SAYS, HERE IS THE

DEAL.

IF YOU HAVE RESENTMENT IN YOUR

HEART, FORGIVE.

YOU CAN FORGIVE AFTER THEY ARE

DEAD.

YOU THINK OF WHAT THEY DID TO

YOU, I THINK OF A COUPLE PEOPLE

WHO DID ME PRETTY BADLY AND I

HAD TO FORGIVE THEM ANY HAPPEN

TO BE DEAD.

THE OTHER THING, IF YOU REMEMBER

, OFFER YOUR GIFT.

SOMEBODY HAS SOMETHING AGAINST

YOU, SOMETHING YOU DID, YOU ASK

FOR FORGIVENESS.

BUT YOU CAN FORGIVE IN YOUR

HEART.

THIS IS FROM ALABAMA. I

HAVE A COMPROMISED IMMUNE

SYSTEM.

I AM WATCHING CHURCH ON SUNDAY.

AM I SENDING BY NOT ACTUALLY

BEING PHYSICALLY IN CHURCH?

I DO THIS BECAUSE OF COVID. I

DON'T THINK -- YOU DON'T HAVE

TO DO IT IN PERSON.

THEY HAVE VIRTUAL CHURCH THESE

DAYS. WE GATHER AS A

CONGREGATION, EVEN ON

TELEVISION.

IF WE COME TOGETHER FOR PRAYER,

THERE MAY BE THOUSANDS.

IF YOU HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION

AND YOU CANNOT GET TO CHURCH,

THERE IS NO PROBLEM.

ABSOLUTELY.

THIS IS FROM BELL BILL,

MICHIGAN.

WHO WAS METHUSELAH?

A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK

METHUSELAH WAS JESUS CHRIST.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME WHO HE

IS?

HE IS THE OLDEST PERSON WHO

EVER LIVED.

HE LIVED ALMOST 1000 YEARS.

HE IS NOT JESUS.

HE IS THE OLDEST MAN, AS OLD AS

METHUSELAH.

HE IS THE OLDEST GUY WE KNOW OF

ON RECORD HE LIVED ALMOST 1000

YEARS.

YOU WILL LIVE UNTIL 120.

I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD GO

FOR 1000. CINDY FROM NEW

ORLEANS, LOUISIANA WITH THIS

QUESTION.

CAN THE DEVIL OR THE EVIL

SPIRITS THAT ARE AROUND US PUT

LYING SYMPTOMS ON YOUR BODY?

AND ALSO IN YOUR MIND?

A LOT OF TIMES THINGS COME IN

MY MIND AND I'M LIKE, WHERE DID

THAT COME FROM?

THAT IS JUST SO NOT ME.

THERE IS NO QUESTION THE

DEVIL CAN PUT STUFF IN YOUR

MIND.

I THINK HE CAN INSERT THOUGHTS.

AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST THOUGHTS

IS YOU ARE A LOSER AND YOU WILL

FAIL AND YOU CANNOT MAKE IT.

AND YOU ARE DISCOURAGED.

THE DEVIL CAN PLAY ON OUR

EMOTIONS.

THE BIBLE SAYS WE RESIST THE

DEVIL.

YOU HAVE TO RECOGNIZE WHAT IS

BEING DONE TO YOU.

AND REBUKE IN THE NAME OF

JESUS.

DID YOU EVER HAVE TO FIGHT

SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

THOSE KIND OF THOUGHTS?

OF COURSE. WE ALL HAVE.

WHEN I FIRST CAME TO THE LORD,

I WAS SO HAPPY.

THE DEVIL CAME TO ME LITERALLY

AND SAID, YOU THINK YOU'RE SO

HAPPY AND YOU THINK YOU'RE

GOING TO HEAVEN.

BUT YOU HAVE SINNED AGAINST THE

HOLY SPIRIT AND YOU ARE NOT.

AND I SAID, DEVIL, I WILL STILL

GO THERE PRAISING JESUS CHRIST

AND THAT WAS THE ANSWER.

THIS IS FROM KINGSTON,

TENNESSEE.

OTHER THAN GIVING GOD THE

GLORY, WHAT DO YOU ATTRIBUTE

YOUR BUSINESS SUCCESS TO?

I HAVE HAD SOME FAILURES

ALONG WITH SUCCESS.

THEY SAY MOSES WAS SKILLED IN

ALL THE WISDOM OF THE

EGYPTIANS.

AND THEN HE WENT INTO THE DESERT

AND THEN HE CAME BACK TO LEAVE

THE PEOPLE.

I WENT TO LAW SCHOOL.

I STUDIED CORPORATIONS. I KNOW

HOW TO FORM CORPORATIONS.

I KNOW HOW TO DO CORPORATE

RESOLUTIONS.

I KNOW FINANCIAL ARCHITECTURE.

I LEARNED IT BEFORE I CAME TO

THE LORD.

IT DOES NOT HURT TO HAVE SOME

SKILL.

MOSES WAS SKILLED IN ALL THE

WISDOM OF THE EGYPTIANS.

GOD ALLOWS US TO LEARN THESE

THINGS. I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR

THE FACT THAT I HAVE 10 YEARS

OF HIGHER EDUCATION.

WHICH IS NOT DONE NEED TO BADLY

ALONG THE WAY.

THIS IS BARBARA FROM NEW

CASTLE, DELAWARE.

DO YOU BELIEVE EVEN WITH THE

TURMOIL IN THIS WORLD THAT

THERE WILL BE ONE LAST HUGE

REVIVAL BEFORE JESUS COMES BACK?

I'D LIKE TO HEAR YOUR TAKE ON

THIS.

BARBER, I THINK WE ARE IN

ONE OF THE GREATEST REVIVALS

RIGHT NOW THAT THE WORLD HAS

EVER KNOWN.

AT CBN ALONE, WE ARE BRINGING

OVER 100 MILLION PEOPLE TO THE

LORD.

I SAID THAT WRONG.

WE HAVE LED OVER 100 MILLION A

YEAR AT LEAST.

THERE IS A MOVE OF GOD.

THERE ARE MIRACLES COMING ABOUT.

WE ARE SEEING THE DEAD BEING

RAISED.

DEMONS ARE BEING CAST OUT.

THE POWER OF GOD IS BEING

MANIFESTED ALL OVER THE WORLD.

FRANKLY, WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE

OF A FABULOUS MOVE OF GOD.

I THINK WE ARE IN IT.

I WOULD NOT WAIT FOR THE BIG

DAY TO COME DOWN THE ROAD.

I THINK WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF

IT RIGHT NOW.

AND FOR THAT, I AM GRATEFUL.

RIGHT NOW, IN THE LATTER DAYS I

WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRITS.

THIS IS FROM GRAND JUNCTION,

COLORADO. I HAVE A QUESTION.

WE KNOW THAT GOD DOES NOT LIE

BUT HE SAYS, I NEVER KNEW YOU

IN THE BIBLE.

BUT HE ALSO SAYS I KNEW YOU

BEFORE YOU WERE BORN AND I KNOW

YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW YOURSELF.

CAN YOU ANSWER A QUESTION ON

THAT FOR ME?

HE SAID, I KNEW YOU.

HE SAID THE SAME TO JEREMIAH.

THE QUESTION WE ALL ASK, WHEN

DOES LIFE BEGIN?

DOESN'T BEGIN IN THE CONCEPT OF

GOD FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE

EARTH?

IS IT ONLY AT CONCEPTION?

WHEN A SPERM AND EGG COME

TOGETHER AND CAUSE CIVILIZATION?

GOD HAS SHOWN, WHERE WERE YOU

WHEN I LAID THE FOUNDATION OF

THE EARTH.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT HAS TO

DO.

I THINK YOU WAS TALKING

ABOUT WHEN JESUS SAID, I NEVER

KNEW YOU.

THAT IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT

THING.

DID NOT WE DO MIRACLES?

HE SAYS APART FOR ME, THAT JUST

MEANS YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE

FAMILY.

IT DOES NOT MEAN HE DID NOT

KNOW YOU.

IT IS A DIFFERENT THING.

JUST MEANS I AM NOT RECEIVING

YOU AS A YOU THINK YOU ARE.

I AM NOT ACCEPTING YOU FOR

THAT.

A FIGURE OF SPEECH, KIND OF.

CHRISTIAN FROM BEAVERCREEK,

OHIO.

HOW DO WE KNOW THE PEOPLE ON

EARTH ARE NOT THE FALLEN ANGELS

THAT WERE ORIGINALLY KICKED OUT

OF HEAVEN WITH LUCIFER?

I THINK ALL THAT BUSINESS,

PEOPLE MAKE A BIG THEOLOGICAL

ISSUE ABOUT FALLEN ANGELS.

THERE ARE DEMONS IN THE WORLD.

I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THEM

PERSONALLY.

JESUS CAST OUT DEVILS AND HE

DEALT WITH DEVILS.

IT WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR

SALVATION.

A MAN.

THIS ONE IS FROM HOT SPRINGS,

ARIZONA.

IN PROVERBS, IT ALWAYS

REFERS TO WISDOM AS SHE AND HER.

CAN YOU GIVE ME A LITTLE

INFORMATION TO THAT?

ISN'T IT OBVIOUS?

IT IS TRUE.

WISDOM IS CONSIDERED A HER.

MINERVA AND YOU CAN GO TO THE

GREEKS AND ROMANS, I DON'T KNOW

I IT IS IN THE BIBLE.

BUT IT IS.

I DID NOT PUT IT THERE.

BUT THEY NEW.

WISDOM IS NOT REFERRED TO AS A

HE, IT IS REFERRED TO AS A SHE.

WHY?

I HAVE NO IDEA. MOST OF THE

BIBLE IS HE.

GIVE US SOMETHING.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT ATHENS,

ATHENA WAS A GODDESS OF WISDOM.

MAYBE, MAYBE, MAY BE.

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE THE TRAIT BELONGS TO

THINGS PORTRAYED AS JOSEPH

BELL, THE EVIL ONE.

THERE ARE GOOD WOMEN AND BAD

WOMEN.

IT IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY.

THIS IS FROM GEORGETOWN,

DELAWARE.

HOW DOES ONE BECOME BAPTIZED

INTO THE HOLY SPIRIT?

THE BIBLE SAYS SEEK AND YOU

WILL FIND, KNOCK AND THE DOOR

WILL BE OPEN. ASK AND YOU SHALL

RECEIVE.

WHAT WE DO IS ASK. JESUS SAID,

AND NOT TOO MANY DAYS YOU WILL

BE BAPTIZED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME UPON THEM.

I THINK, YOU ASK.

I WENT AROUND ASKING AND ASKING.

AND THEN ONE EVENING MY OLDEST

SON, WAS ABOUT THREE OR FOUR

YEARS OLD, WAS BURNING UP WITH

A FEVER AND HE WAS BEGINNING TO

HAVE CONVULSIONS.

AND I THOUGHT THAT HE MIGHT DIE.

AND I WAS ON MY KNEES AND I WAS

CRYING OUT TO GOD. PLEASE HEAL

HIM.

AND I WAS BEGGING GOD.

ALL THE SUDDEN THE LORD SAID,

IF YOU THINK YOU LOVE THIS BOY,

I LOVE HIM THOUSANDS OF TIMES

MORE THAN YOU DO.

AT THAT MOMENT I LIFTED MY BOY

UP INTO THE LOVE OF GOD AND THE

POWER OF GOD CAME UPON HIM AND

THE FEVER BROKE AND HE GOT UP

AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM AND HE

WAS FINE.

AT THAT POINT I WAS SO GRATEFUL

I BEGAN TO PRAISE GOD.

IT CAME OUT OF MY INNERMOST

BEING.

PRAISE, UNTO THE LORD.

IT WAS IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE.

MY WIFE WAS LISTENING.

I WONDER HOW LONG THAT IS BEEN

GOING ON?

IT JUST HAPPENED.

I WAS PRAISING THE LORD.

I LOVE THAT STORY.

> UP NEXT WE HAVE THE SECOND

ROUND OF A SPECIAL VOICEMAIL

ADDITION OF "YOUR

QUESTIONS/HONEST ANSWERS" .

YOUR QUESTION COULD BE COMING

UP NEXT.

STAY TUNED.

> WELCOME BACK TO OUR SPECIAL

EDITION ROUND TWO OF YOUR

VOICEMAIL QUESTIONS AND PATH

ANSWERS.

WE WILL START WITH ANNAPOLIS,

MARYLAND.

HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR

RETIREMENT? WE REALLY MISS YOU.

I TELL YOU WHAT.

I JUST FINISHED A BOOK ON DAVID

. IT WAS WONDERFUL.

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

MY OTHER BOOK ON THE HOLY

SPIRIT IS COMING OUT.

I AM IN CHARGE OF A MAJOR

UNIVERSITY THAT HAS ABOUT --

REGENT UNIVERSITY IS A BIG, BIG

SCHOOL.

I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS AND I

MISS BEING ON AIR AND I MISS

BEING WITH YOU A LOT.

I DO RESERVE ONE DAY OF THE

MONTH TO COME BACK. AND I AM

HERE RIGHT NOW.

I AM NOT EXACTLY RETIRED.

I AM 91 YEARS OLD.

AND STILL GOING STRONG.

I JUST FINISHED A BOOK ON DAVID

THAT I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT.

I GOT A LITTLE POSTPARTUM

DEPRESSION, AFTER I GAVE BIRTH

TO THE BOOK.

THAT IS TRUE.

THAT IS HOW I FEEL SOMETIMES.

WHEN I DO A STORY I HAVE BEEN

WORKING ON FOR A LONG TIME AND

IT AIRS.

IT HAPPENS TO ALL OF US.

THIS IS JACK FROM ANAHEIM,

CALIFORNIA.

IN THE BOOK OF JOHN I THINK

IT'S VERSE 18 IT SAYS NO MAN

HAS SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME.

AND YET THERE ARE OCCASIONS IN

THE OLD TESTAMENT WHERE IT SAYS

THAT MEN DID SEE GOD.

WOULD YOU COMMENT ON THIS?

I AM NOT SURE. THEY HAD THE

ANGEL OF THE LORD APPEARING TO

PEOPLE.

THERE HAD BEEN A COUPLE OF

PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD VISIONS.

THAT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE

SEEING GOD.

I THINK THE SON OF GOD, HE IS

INFINITE.

HE IS SO GREAT.

HE CREATED ALL THIS UNIVERSE.

AND I DON'T THINK WE CAN TALK

TO HIM AND APPROACH HIM THROUGH

JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT --

I'M NOT SURE ANY OF US HAVE

REALLY SEEN GOD.

BUT JESUS HIMSELF WAS PART OF

THE GODHEAD AND SO HE AND THE

FATHER WERE LIKE ONE.

AND THAT IS WHAT WE DEAL WITH.

GOD IS SO INCREDIBLY LARGE AND

SO POWERFUL.

TO COMPREHEND HIS GREATNESS IS

TOO MUCH.

HE HAD TO CALM DOWN AS A MAN.

AND JESUS LIVED AMONG US AND HE

SAID, IF YOU HAVE SEEN ME, YOU

SEE THE FATHER.

HENRIETTA FROM TOPEKA,

KANSAS.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR PAT.

THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF THE GREAT

CROWD OF WITNESSES.

I WAS WONDERING, WHO ARE THE

GREAT CROWD OF WITNESSES? I

THINK THEY ARE SAINTS WHO HAVE

GONE BEFORE.

A GREAT CROWD OF WITNESSES THAT

HAVE GONE BEFORE.

THEY HAVE SUFFERED.

THEY HAVE BEEN PERSECUTED.

I HAVE LIVED FOR THE LORD.

AND THEY SUFFERED BEYOND

BELIEF.

THE CROWD OF WITNESSES WHO HAVE

WITNESSED THE GLORY OF THE LORD

AND HAVE SEEN THE COMING OF THE

DAY OF JESUS CHRIST, THEY

FORESAW WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

THAT IS WHAT I THINK THE BIBLE

IS TALKING ABOUT.

THIS IS FROM L CARBON,

ILLINOIS. WHEN WE ALL GET TO

HEAVEN, IS THE LANGUAGE GOING

TO BE HEBREW?

I WENT TO SEMINARY AND TRIED

TO DO HEBREW.

IT IS TOUGH. I DON'T THINK WE

WILL ALL BE SPEAKING HEBREW.

I THINK WE WILL BE

COMMUNICATING WITH FLAT.

AND I THINK THE THOUGHTS CAN BE

COMMUNICATED TO PEOPLE, NO

MATTER WHAT LANGUAGE WE SPEAK

IN.

I THINK THE LAST ONE I WOULD

PICK WOULD BE CPU.

THERE ARE SO FEW PEOPLE THAT

SPEAK IT.

I HAVE SOME BOOKS I HAVE

WRITTEN AND I AM TRYING TO GET

THEM TRANSLATED INTO CHINESE

AND TRANSLATED INTO SPANISH,

THESE ARE REGIONAL LANGUAGES

ALONG WITH ENGLISH.

I CANNOT IMAGINE THAT WE WILL

SPEAK HEBREW.

IT IS A GOOD LANGUAGE.

IT WAS DEAD FOR A NUMBER OF

YEARS AND NOW IT IS BROUGHT

BACK TO LIFE AGAIN IN ISRAEL.

I CANNOT SEE THAT IN HEAVEN.

IN HEAVEN, IT WILL BE THE MIND.

I THINK THAT IS THE WAY IT WILL

BE

I STUDIED IT FOR SIX MONTHS

ONLINE.

THE NAME IN HEBREW FOR A

LITTLE KID, IS GREAT.

IT IS HELP FOR ME TO LEARN A

LITTLE HEBREW.

AND UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE.

THIS IS LAURA FROM

WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA.

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE PERSON

FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT?

I JUST WROTE A BOOK ABOUT A

MAN WHO APPARENTLY WAS AFTER

GOD'S OWN HEART AND I DID NOT

REALIZE -- I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT

ABRAHAM OR MOSES WOULD BE.

JESUS WAS CALLED THE SON OF

DAVID.

AND DAVID IS AN AMAZING PERSON.

HE IS OFTEN REFERRED TO. YOU

GOT SO MANY.

ABRAHAM AND MOSES AND DAVID.

THEY ARE ALL FANTASTIC PEOPLE.

HE IS A GREAT CHARACTER.

STARTED AS A SHEPHERD BOY.

KILLED THE BEAR IN THE LION AND

BECAME A GREAT KING. MY BOOK

IS CALLED THE SHEPHERD KING.

DAVID IS SO IMPORTANT.

AND JESUS IS CALLED THE SON OF

DAVID.

IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION HE IS

TALKED ABOUT. HE SAYS I AM THE

SON OF DAVID.

IT IS IN THE LAST BOOK OF

REVELATION.

JESUS IDENTIFIED WITH DAVID.

THIS IS FROM BALTIMORE,

MAYLAND.

HOW CAN YOU TELL IF GOD

REMOVED HIS SPIRIT FROM YOU?

I BELIEVE GOD HAS REMOVED HIS

SPIRIT FROM ME AND I WANT TO

MAKE SURE. YOU GO BACK TO

DAVID, DAVIDSON WAS HE HAD

SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH SOMEBODY

ELSE'S WIFE. AND TO COVER THAT

UP SHE HAD HER HUSBAND MURDERED.

AND SO DAVID SAID, ONLY AGAINST

YOU HAVE I SEND.

YOU STOLE FROM ME THE JOY OF

YOUR SALVATION.

BUT TAKE NOT YOUR HOLY SPIRIT

FROM ME.

WITH ALL THAT SIN, I DON'T THINK

GOD TOOK THE HOLY SPIRIT AWAY.

UNLESS YOU HAVE TOTALLY

RENOUNCED JESUS AND YOU HAVE

TURNED YOUR BACK ON HIM, GOD IS

NOT TAKEN THE HOLY SPIRIT AWAY

FROM YOU.

PSALM 52 IS A GOOD ONE TO

READ.

VICKI FROM WARRENSBURG,

MISSOURI.

I WAS WONDERING IF BINGO IS

CONSIDERED A SIN IN THE EYES OF

GOD? AND IF SO, WHERE IS IT IN

THE BIBLE?

HERE IS THE DEAL.

WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE, IN LAW

SCHOOL, WE USED TO PLAY POKER

FOR PRETTY HIGH-STAKES. AND

HERE I AM, NOT REALLY INTO THE

LORD AND I AM PRAYING TO DRAW

AN INSIDE STRAIGHT.

AND THAT KIND OF STUFF.

THE BIBLE SAYS, DON'T TEMPT GOD.

IF YOU HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF

MONEY AND YOU PUSH IT ON THE

TABLE AND ALL ON NUMBER 12 ON

THE RED.

YOU HAVE TEMPTED GOD.

YOU SAY, I WANT YOU TO DO

SOMETHING.

BUT AS FAR AS PLAYING BINGO, A

LOT OF CHURCHES THINK THAT IS A

GOOD WAY TO RAISE MONEY.

A REALLY DON'T AGREE WITH THAT.

I THINK HAVING PEOPLE GIVE A

REGULAR GIVING TO THE LORD IS

BETTER THAN HAVING BINGO GAMES.

IF YOU WANT TO PLAY BINGO AND

PUT FIVE DOLLARS ON A GAME OF

CHANCE, THAT IS YOUR BUSINESS.

IT IS JUST PLAYING.

THE BIG THING IS, DON'T TEMPT

THE LORD YOUR GOD.

COULD YOU IMAGINE THE AMOUNT

OF PRAYER THAT GOES UP FROM

CASINOS ALL OVER.

THE BALL IS GOING AROUND AND

YOU ARE PRAYING.

GAMBLING, IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU

DEAL WITH IT.

THAT IS THE ANSWER.

DAN FROM McMINNVILLE,

OREGON.

AND MARK, CHAPTER 9 VERSES

43-47 WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT

CUTTING OFF BODY PARTS AND

PLUCKING OUT EYES, I WAS

WONDERING IF PAT HAD ANY IDEAS

WHAT THAT REALLY MEANS.

JESUS IS NOT TALKING ABOUT

MUTILATING YOURSELF. THE IDEA IS

, HE SAID IF YOUR EYE CAUSES

YOU TO SIN, PULL IT OUT.

HE IS NOT TALKING ABOUT

MUTILATION BUT HE IS TALKING

ABOUT ACTING AS IF IT IS DEAD.

DO NOT ALLOW THAT PART OF YOUR

BODY TO LEAD YOU INTO SIN.

THAT IS WHAT HE IS TALKING

ABOUT.

THE IDEA THAT THIS IS

MUTILATION, THAT IS INSANE.

HE IS NOT COUNSELING THAT IN

ANYWAY. THE NEXT CALLER IS

LEE FROM TOLEDO, OHIO.

THE BIBLE SAYS IN MATTHEW

18:19, JESUS SAYS AGAIN I TELL

YOU THAT IF TWO OF YOU ON EARTH

AGREE ABOUT ANYTHING TO ASK

FOR, IT WILL BE DONE FOR YOU BY

MY FATHER IN HEAVEN.

MY QUESTION IS, IF THE PERSON I

AM PRAYING WITH IS UNFORGIVING

TOWARD OTHERS WHO HAVE

MISTREATED HIM, WILL THIS

HINDER OUR PRAYERS PRAYED

TOGETHER FOR BE ANSWERED?

I THINK DEFINITELY IT WOULD.

TWO OF YOU HAVE TO BE IN

HARMONY WITH THE LORD . THE

HOLY SPIRIT HAS TO AGREE WITH

YOU.

IT SEEMS GOOD TO US AND THE

HOLY SPIRIT.

IF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT IN

HARMONY YOU ARE PRAYING WITH,

YOU HAVE NOT REALLY AGREED.

THERE IS NOT AGREEMENT.

IF YOU WILL GET SOMEONE TO PRAY

WITH, THAT USED TO BE THE THEME

OF SCRIPTURE AND WE PRAYED.

WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE

LORD.

IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS IN A

STATE OF SIN AND HE IS NOT IN

UNITY WITH YOU.

MEL FROM MORGAN CITY,

LOUISIANA HAS THIS QUESTION.

WHAT IS THE MEANING BEHIND FAITH

WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD?

I NEVER CAN QUITE UNDERSTAND

THAT.

PAUL SAID, FAITH.

BY FAITH, THINGS HAPPEN.

WHEREAS JAMES IS SAYING, IF YOU

CLAIM YOU'VE GOT FAITH BUT YOU

ARE NOT BACKING IT UP WITH ANY

WORKS, YOUR FAITH IS

MEANINGLESS.

FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD.

THE WHOLE IDEA OF TRYING TO

WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION AND

TO GAIN HEAVEN BECAUSE OF YOUR

GOOD WORKS, IS NOT IN

ACCORDANCE WITH THE BIBLE.

IF YOU SAY, I HAVE FAITH, I

BELIEVE IN LOOKING AFTER PEOPLE

. AND I JUST BELIEVE THAT I

WILL PRAY FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE

BLESSING. ALL RIGHT.

IF THEY ARE HUNGRY AND COLD AND

I DON'T GIVE THEM FOOD TO EAT

OR CLOSE TO PUT ON, BY FAITH

WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD.

THAT IS WHY YOU STARTED

OPERATION BLESSING.

WE HELP ABOUT 300 MILLION

PEOPLE A YEAR.

BECAUSE OF THAT ONE SCRIPTURE

IN ISAIAH 58.

THIS IS FROM HUNTSVILLE,

ALABAMA.

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR

SHOW EVERY DAY LATELY AND I

REALLY ENJOY IT.

MY QUESTION IS, HOW DO YOU

ABOUT VISIONS?

ONE HAS TO DO WITH A WORD OF

KNOWLEDGE.

IT IS A WORD THAT COMES TO A

PERSON ORDERED BY THE HOLY

SPIRIT.

AS WE HAVE BEEN PRAYING ON THIS

PROGRAM, THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL

SPEAK TO US.

AND HE WILL GIVE A PARTICULAR

SITUATION OR A PARTICULAR

CONDITION.

AND OFTEN THE NAME OF THE

PERSON.

THAT IS A MANIFESTATION OF THE

HOLY SPIRIT AND CALLED A WORD

OF KNOWLEDGE.

MARLENE FROM WESTCHESTER,

NEW YORK.

MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW HAS

DREAMS.

AND HER DREAMS COME TRUE.

IS THIS THE LORD TALKING TO

HER?

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SHE'S

DREAMING ABOUT.

BUT THE ANSWER IS, GOD HAS

APPEARED TO PEOPLE IN DREAMS.

HE APPEARED TO SOLOMON IN A

DREAM.

AND HE SAID WHAT YOU WANT ME TO

DO?

AND SOLOMON SAID, GIVE ME

WISDOM.

GOD WAS SO PLEASED THAT HE GAVE

HIM A LOT MORE.

IT WAS A DREAM.

GOD DOES DEAL WITH OUR DREAMS

OF BUT I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT

YOUR DAUGHTER.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S

DREAMING.

I DO KNOW GOD, WITHOUT QUESTION

, SPEAKS TO US IN DREAMS.

IF SHE IS A CHRISTIAN AND

SHE LOVES THE LORD, IT SOUNDS

LIKE IT COULD BE.

THE THIRD AND FINAL ROUND OF

THE SPECIAL VOICEMAIL EDITION

OF "YOUR QUESTIONS/HONEST

ANSWERS" FROM PAT.

THAT IS COMING UP.

STAY WITH US.

> WELCOME BACK TO OUR FINAL

ROUND OF THE SPECIAL EDITION OF

YOUR VOICEMAIL QUESTIONS, PASS

HONEST ANSWERS.

THIS ONE'S FROM NEW HAVEN,

CONNECTICUT.

I MISS YOU, PAT AND MERRY

CHRISTMAS. I WANT TO KNOW WHY

I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO SPEAK

IN TONGUES, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE

FOLLOWED JESUS FOR MANY YEARS.

I LOVE HIM AND I BELIEVE IN HIM.

DOES THIS MEAN I'M NOT SAVE?

SPEAKING IN TONGUES DOES NOT

HAVE TO DO WITH YOUR SALVATION.

YOU CAN HAVE SALVATION BECAUSE

YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS.

YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT SPEAKING

IN TONGUES.

WE ASK GOD AND WE KEEP ON

TALKING.

GOD BLESS ME AND FILL ME.

HOW CAN YOU SPEAK ANOTHER

LANGUAGE? THE BIGGEST THING IS

TO WAIT. IF NEED BE, PRAISE.

INNERMOST BEINGS. WHAT YOU NEED

TO DO IS RELAX AND START

PRAISING GOD.

BUT DON'T ALWAYS BE ASKING,

PLEASE FILL ME.

HOW WILL HE GIVEN THAT

VERNACULAR IF YOU WILL PRAISE

GOD? HERE IS THE THING ABOUT

SPEAKING IN TONGUES.

THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID HE SPEAKS

IN THE TONGUE EDIFIES HIMSELF.

HE BUILDS UP YOUR SPIRIT.

BUT HE THAT SPEAKS PROPHECY, IN

TONGUES AND INTERPRETATION IN

THE ASSEMBLY, BUILDS UP THE

ASSEMBLY.

HE SAID IN THE ASSEMBLY, I

WOULD RATHER SPEAK THREE WORDS

THAN THE VERNACULAR OF 10,000

IN TONGUES.

IT IS WAY OF BUILDING UP YOUR

OWN SPIRIT.

NANCY FROM WALDORF, MARYLAND.

I WANT TO KNOW, WHAT IS THE

MEANING OF SECOND THESSALONIANS

2:3 WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT THE

GREAT FALLING AWAY?

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I

DON'T FALL AWAY.

I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO

WORRY ABOUT THAT.

APPARENTLY, THE THOUGHT WAS

BEFORE THE LORD COMES BACK WE

MENTIONED THE FACT THERE WILL

BE A GREAT REVIVAL.

BUT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY

THERE IS GOING TO BE THE MAN OF

SIN WHO WILL BE REVEALED WHO

WILL EXALT HIMSELF ABOVE ALL

THAT IS CALLED HOLY.

AND I THINK FALLING AWAY WOULD

BE THE IDEA THAT IN THE LATTER

DAYS THERE MIGHT BE AN APOSTASY.

WE SEE THAT IN AMERICA.

THINK HOW FAR WE HAVE GONE IN

THIS COUNTRY FROM THE WAY IT

USED TO BE. THINK OF THE STUFF

WE PERMIT NOW.

THINK OF THE WAY IT WAS 40

YEARS AGO, 50 YEARS AGO?

IT IS UNBELIEVABLE.

WHAT IS NOT ONLY ACCEPTED BUT

PUT INTO LAW.

THINGS CONSIDERED AN

ABOMINATION ARE NOW LEGAL.

AND YOU WILL BE PERSECUTED IF

YOU DON'T PARTICIPATE IN THEM.

THAT IS THE FALLING AWAY AND WE

ARE SEEING IT RIGHT NOW.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THERE

WILL BE A GREAT MOVE OF GOD.

THEY CAN BE JUXTAPOSED.

ON ONE HAND YOU COULD HAVE A

GREAT MOVE OF GOD AND ON THE

OTHER HAND A GREAT APOSTAS.

THE CHURCH, YOU HAVE NO MANY NO

IDEA OF HOW EDUCATIONAL

INSTITUTIONS HAVE GONE ASTRAY.

IT IS APPALLING.

WE HAVE MEETINGS AT REGENT

UNIVERSITY THAT DISCUSS THESE

THINGS.

IT BREAKS YOUR HEART TO SEE

SOME OF THE GREAT INSTITUTIONS

WHO WERE FOUNDED ON CERTAIN

BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES AND HOW FAR

THEY HAVE GONE.

I WENT TO YALE LAW SCHOOL.

THEY HAD ONE OF THE GREAT

REVIVALS IN HISTORY UNDER A MAN

NAMED TIMOTHY WHITE.

THE STUFF THEY PRACTICE NOW,

WILL TURN YOUR HAIR.

I WILL NOT GO INTO IT ON THIS

PROGRAM BECAUSE IT IS HORRIBLE.

THE REVOLUTION THAT TOOK PLACE

IN LOUDOUN COUNTY, THEY WERE

PUTTING OUT TEXTBOOKS FOR

LITTLE CHILDREN IN THE FIFTH

AND SIXTH GRADES THAT WERE

NASTY AND PORNOGRAPHIC.

IS THIS A FALLING AWAY, YOU

BETTER BELIEVE IT.

STEVE FROM BATON ROUGE,

LOUISIANA.

I'VE HEARD THAT IT IS

POSSIBLE FOR A BORN-AGAIN

CHRISTIAN TO LOSE THEIR

SALVATION. COULD YOU PLEASE

COMMENT ON THAT?

IN THE BIBLE IT MAKES IT

CLEAR THAT IF SOMEBODY HAS COME

TO THE LORD, THE LORD WILL HOLD

HIM IN HIS HAND.

JESUS SAID NOBODY CAN TAKE YOU

OUT OF THE FATHER'S HAND.

I THINK THE THING YOU SHOULD

NOT DO IS TO LIVE THE WAY YOU

WANT AND GET AWAY WITH MURDER

BECAUSE YOU HAVE QUOTE BEEN

SAVED ALREADY.

THE BIBLE NEVER SAYS THAT

SOMEBODY WHO WAS COME TO THE

LORD, BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIAN, IS

GOING TO QUOTE LOSE THEIR

SALVATION.

THEY CAN LOSE THE JOY IN THEY

CAN LOSE THE FIRE AND THE

POWER, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY

WILL LOSE THEIR SALVATION.

BUT I WOULDN'T TEMPT. THAT IS

ALL I CAN SAY.

WE ALWAYS WALK TENDERLY BEFORE

THE LORD.

THAT IS THE WHOLE IDEA.

OUR LIFE SHOULD BE LIVED EVERY

DAY OF WANTING TO PLEASE HIM.

NOT, WHAT CAN I GET AWAY WITH.

HOW CAN I MAKE GOD HAPPY AND

PLEASE HIM? THAT IS MY PRAYER.

THIS IS DAVID FROM ELIZABETH

CITY, NORTH CAROLINA. IS

BAPTISM REQUIRED FOR SALVATION?

THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID, GOD

DID NOT SEND ME TO BAPTIZE BUT

TO PREACH THE GOSPEL.

IF BAPTISM WAS IMPORTANT TO

SALVATION I THINK HE WOULD BE

BAPTIZING PEOPLE.

HE SAID I BAPTIZED A COUPLE.

AND SOMEBODY OVER HERE.

IT IS AN ACT OF OBEDIENCE.

YOU ARE RAISED IN THE NEWNESS

OF LIFE.

IT IS AN ACT OF OBEDIENCE.

BUT I DO NOT THINK IT IS

NECESSARY FOR SALVATION.

THERE ARE OTHER CHURCHES THAT

MIGHT BELIEVE THAT.

THEY BELIEVE IN BAPTISM AND

REGENERATION AND SO FIRST.

I'M A BAPTIST AND I DON'T

BELIEVE IN THAT.

THIS IS FROM TENNESSEE.

WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT PROFITS

LEAVING DATES OR GIVING DATES

AS TO WHEN SOMETHING WOULD

HAPPEN, AND THEN THE TIME

PASSES AND IT DID NOT HAPPEN.

MAYBE THEY SHOULDN'T EVEN

PINPOINT DATES. THE TIME SHOULD

BE WITH THE LORD THINKS, NOT

WHAT THEY THINK.

I WOULD BE VERY SUSPICIOUS

OF THE PROFITS.

I REMEMBER SOMEBODY TOLD ME THE

LORD SHOWED HIM THE WORLD WAS

GOING TO AND ON A PARTICULAR

DATE SOME YEARS AGO.

AND WHAT ENDED WAS HE GOT PUT

IN A MENTAL INSTITUTION.

BUT THE WORLD DID NOT END.

AND VERY SUSPICIOUS OF ANYBODY

WHO SETS DATES LIKE THAT. THE

BIBLE SAYS NOBODY KNOWS THE HOUR

OR THE DATE WHEN THIS WILL

HAPPEN.

JESUS SAID, NOT EVEN THE SON

KNOWS, IT IS IN THE FATHER'S

HANDS.

SOMEONE WHO SAYS THE WORLD WILL

END ON A PARTICULAR DAY, I

WOULD NOT PAY ATTENTION.

THE BIBLE SAYS, THEY PROFIT

SAYS IT DOES NOT HAPPEN, YOU DO

NOT HAVE TO FEAR THAT PROFIT.

THIS COLLAR IS FROM LA JOLLA,

CALIFORNIA.

WE LEARNED DURING "THE 700

CLUB" RECENT ANNIVERSARY THAT

"THE 700 CLUB" IS THE LONGEST

CONTINUALLY RUNNING TALKSHOW ON

TELEVISION IN HISTORY. SO

SHOULDN'T "THE 700 CLUB" BE

LISTED IN THE GUINNESS WORLD

BOOK OF RECORDS?

MY SON GORDON SUGGESTED IT

AND MAYBE HE WILL APPLY.

I DON'T KEEP RECORDS ABOUT

STUFF LIKE THAT. I HAVE BEEN

TOLD IT IS THE LONGEST RUNNING

TV TALKSHOW IN AMERICA.

AND YOU WERE THE LONGEST

RUNNING HOST.

I HAVE PROBABLY BEEN AROUND

A LONG TIME.

60 YEARS.

I AM NOT APPLYING TO THE BOOK

OF RECORDS.

BUT IT MAY QUALIFY.

PHYLLIS FROM DELTA,

PENNSYLVANIA. I WOULD LIKE TO

KNOW, WHERE IS THE LAND OF NOD?

AND IF THEY WENT THERE TO GET A

BRIDE, HOW DID THAT COME ABOUT?

THERE A COUPLE THINGS IN THE

BIBLE THAT I HAVE NO ANSWER FOR

AND THAT IS ONE OF THEM.

FOR EXAMPLE, ADAM HAD A COUPLE

CHILDREN. KANE WAS MARKED.

BUT SOMEHOW HE HAS SOME

CHILDREN.

WHO DID HE MARRY?

WHAT IS THE LAND OF NOD?

I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA.

THERE IS NO EXPLANATION.

WE CAN ONLY FIGURE THAT IN

THOSE DAYS, THE IDEA OF

INTERMARRIAGE TO RELATIVES

BECAUSE THE GENETIC POOL WAS SO

PURE, IT WAS PERMITTED.

THE EGYPTIANS, THE PHARAOHS

ONLY MARRIED WITHIN THEIR OWN

FAMILIES.

INNER BREEDING, IF THERE IS ANY

RECESSIVE TRAITS, IT CAN LEAD

TO A LOT OF PROBLEMS.

WHERE IS THE LAND OF NOD, I

HAVE NO IDEA.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING EVEN

DISCUSSED.

HERE IS CHARLIE FROM

WILLOWS, CALIFORNIA.

HAVE YOU READ THE BOOK OF

ENOCH AND CAN YOU EXPLAIN IT?

THERE ARE SEVERAL BOOKS,

THAT WERE NOT RECOGNIZED AS

PART.

AND BOOK OF UNIQUE IS ONE OF

THEM.

IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY VALIDITY

AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED.

I LIKE THE WORDS THAT ARE THERE

NOW.

THE CHURCH HAS AGREED LUNGS IN

THE NEW TESTAMENT. THE BOOK OF

ENOCH IS NOT PART OF IT.

> THANK YOU FOR YOUR

QUESTIONS.

GOOD TO BE WITH YOU AND I

ENJOYED THIS.

THANK YOU TO WENDY AND HER WORK.

IF ANY OF YOU LACK WISDOM, LET

HIM ASK OF GOD WHO GIVES TO ALL

LIBERALLY AND IT WILL BE GIVEN

TO HIM.
