> GORDON HOLIDAY TRAVELERS

ARE STILL HAVING A HARD TIME

REACHING THEIR FINAL

DESTINATIONS.

HARD WEATHER AND COVID STAFFING

ISSUES ARE CAUSING BIG DELAYS.

THOUSANDS OF FLIGHTS HAVE BEEN

CANCELED SINCE CHRISTMAS AND

MORE WINTER WEATHER IS IN THE

FORECAST.

BRODY IS ON THIS STORY.

ITS BEEN A TOUGH TIME TO TRAVEL

THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.

MORE THAN 8,000 UNITED STATES

FLIGHTS HAVE BEEN CANCELED JUST

SINCE CHRISTMAS EVE.

IT'S VERY STRESSFUL.

I. ALWAYS CHECKING TO SEE IF

THERE ARE CHANGES.

WINTER WINDS AND WEATHER

COUPLED WITH STAFFING SHORTAGES

HAVE FORCED AIRLINES RUSHING.

DELTA DELAYED 600 FLIGHTSO ON

WEDNESDAY CANCELING 129.

ALASKA AIRLINES, 170 FLIGHTS

CANCELED.

SEE THING, TACOMA INTERNATIONAL

SAW THE MOST FLIGHTS CANCELED

IN THE WORLD FOR TWO DAYS

RUNNING.

THERE ARE PEOPLE HERE WITH

COVID RIGHT?

I THINK WE TAKE A RISK ANY TIME

WE GO SOME WARM.

TWO MILLION PASS THROUGH

TSA EACH DAY.

THAT'S MORE THAN DOUBLE THE

NUMBER OF PIECES IN 2020.

WITH THE NEW YEAR'S WINTER

STORM THREATENING HOLIDAY

TRAVEL ACROSS THE PLAINS AND

MIDWEST MORE DELAYS AND

CANCELLATIONS ARE EXPECTED

ACROSS THE BOARD.

WE HAVE BEEN STUCK IN

TRAFFIC SINCE 8:30 IN THE

MORNING.

PARTS OF NEVADA, CALIFORNIA

AND OREGON ALL ISSUING

EMERGENCIES AFTER HEAVY SNOW

AND HEAVY RAIN THREATENED

TRAVELERS BOTH IN THE AIR AND

ON THE ROAD, OVER A FIVE DAY

SPAN FROZEN ROADS HAVE CAUSED

NEARLY A THOUSAND TRAFFIC

ACCIDENTS IN OREGON.

COME UP HERE.

IT WAS PRETTY MELLOW.

NO SNOW ON THE ROAD.

GETTING BACK HOME IS PROBABLY

GOING TO BE MORE TRICKY.

IT HASN'T BEEN ALL BAD.

THE WINTER WEATHER ALSO

BRINGING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR

BOTH KIDS AND ADULTS TO PLAY.

IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.

BIG SMILES REMIND US WHY WE

TRAVEL ALL THOSE MILES IN THE

FIRST PLACE.

BRODY CARTER, CBN NEWS.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT

PROGRESSIONS OF RECENT YEARS IS

THE RAPID SLEEPMENTS IN

TECHNOLOGY.

HIGH TECH AND AI ARE FAST

BECOMING A BIG PART OF OUR

DAILY LIVES INCLUDING HOUSEHOLD

ROBOTS.

AS PEOPLE SPEND MORE TIME EVERY

DAY WITH SMART PHONES, THEIR

COMPUTERS, ALEXA OR SIRI WHERE

DOES THAT PUT SERVING GOD?

GARY LANE WITH THIS LOOK AT THE

SPIRITUAL DANGERS OF A GROWING

DEPENDANCE ON AI AND WHAT IT

COULD POSE TO PEOPLE OF FAITH.

WE LIVE IN A RAPIDLY

ADVANCING WORLD.

DOMINATED BY INTELLIGENT

COMPUTERS AND HIGH TECH

MACHINES.

WALLACE HENLY SAID IT COULD

TAKE AMERICAN SOCIETY DEEP

AMERICA TO DANGEROUS TERRITORY

A LESS HUMAN WORLD WHICH

REPLACES THE CREATOR WITH THE

CREATED.

WE HAVE THESE MACHINES AND

PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING TO WORSHIP

THEM.

THERE'S ACTUALLY AN AI CHURCH

NOW.

AND SAY THIS THING CAN GO A

BILLION TIMES FASTER THAN THE

HUMAN BRAIN AND THE ONLY THING

WE CAN CALL IT IS GOD.

HENLY IS A CHRISTIAN POST

WRITER AND AUTHOR OF WHO WILL

RULE THE COMING BODYS IN

APPEARING ON THE GLOBAL LANE HE

SUGGESTS AN EXSESSIONSIVE

DEPENDENCE ON TECHNOLOGY MAY

DRAW PEOPLE AWAY

FROMACKNOWLEDGING GOD.

JUST ACT THE TIME WE ARE

FORGETTING GOD WE ARE

DEVELOPING THESE MACHINES THAT

ARE TAKING HIS PLACE.

WORLD WHERE MACHINES CREATE

A MORE CONVENIENT SOCIETY AND

ONE LACKING RESPONSIBILITY AND

DEPENDING ON GOD.

REMEMBER ROSIE THE ROBOT FROM

THE JETSONS?

I MAY BE HOMELY BUT I'M

SMART.

IT'S NO LONGER SCIENCE

FICTION.

TODAY ROBOTS ARE USED TO VACUUM

FLOORS, BUILD CARS, AND DELIVER

FAST FOOD.

HELLO.

HERE IS YOUR DELIVERY.

AND MEET AMAZON'S ASTRO.

A ROBOT TO MONITOR YOUR HOME

AND FOLLOW YOU FROM ROOM TO

ROOM.

THINK OF ALEXA ON WHEELS.

A ROBOT.

YES.

WAY.

ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH A R

OBOT?

I LIKE HAVING INFORMATION

AT MY FINGERTIPS AND I LOOK

FORWARD TO GETTING A ROBOT THAT

WILL MOW MY LAWN, MAYBE FIX THE

PLUMBING.

ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT?

WHEN SHOULD I BE CONCERNED?

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH

THAT.

AS LONG AS WE UNDERSTAND THE

UTILITY OF IT.

I'M THANKFUL EVERY TIME I GO TO

THE DOCTOR AND THEY HAVE TO

PROB INSTEAD OF OPENING MY BODY

AND DOING SURGERY THEY CAN

STICK SOMETHING INSIDE AND FIND

OUT WHAT IS WRONG.

I LIKE THAT.

THAT'S GREAT.

WHAT'S DANGEROUS IS WHEN WE

FORGET THAT GOD IS ON THE

THRONE.

THAT'S HUMAN BEING IS WIRED FOR

THAT.

JC IS A CHEER GENERATED

AIGOSPEL MUSIC ARTIST.

HE SUGGESTS NONHUMAN TECHNO

SINGERS LIKE JC CAN BE USED TO

POINT FANS BACK TO GOD.

WE ENJOY PERSONALITIES.

WE ENJOY THE MUSIC.

WE START TO REALLY IDOLIZE

THEM.

WE START TO BELIEVE THAT THESE

PEOPLE ARE ALMOST LIKE GODS.

THAT'S NOT THE GOAL OF IS TO

HAVE US TO BE DIRECTED ONLY

BACK TO HIM FOR WORSHIP.

NOT TO MAKE IT ABOUT US.

HE BELIEVES AMERICA'S

FOUNDING FATHERS UNDERSTOOD THE

IMPORTANCE OF DIVINE

ACCOUNTABLE.

THEY SAID ENDOWED BY OUR

CREATOR WITH CERTAIN RIGHTS.

WHERE WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE

UTILITY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT

THING.

HE SAID WHEN IT THIS

HAPPENS THE SOCIETY CHANGES FOR

THE WORSE.

THE SLAVE ERA IS JUST ONE

EXAMPLE OF WHEN HUMANS WERE

TREATED LIKE PROPERTY.

HE BELIEVES THE MIND SET IS

REPEATING TODAY.

PEOPLE ARE BEING USED WITHOUT

THE BOND THAT GOD WANTS US TO

HAVE IN RELATIONSHIPS.

HE WANTS US TO BE ON GUARD.

WHEN WE COME TO GIVING USE

SO COMPLETELY.

WITHOUT KNOWING TO THE MACHINE,

WE ARE IN DANGEROUS TERRITORY.

THE HUMAN HEART WAS MADE BY GOD

AND FOR GOD AND ONLY GOD IS

FILL IT.

BARRY LANE, CBN NEWS.

WANT TO TURN TO HEALTH

NEWS.

IT'S COMMON FOR PEOPLE TO PUT

ON EXTRA WEIGHT OVER THE

HOLIDAYS AND THEN THEY WANT TO

GET RID OF THEM.

THAT'S SMART BECAUSE DOCTORS

SAY MAINTAINING A HEALTHY DIET

AND EXERCISE IS AMONG THE BEST

WAY TO AVOID GETTING DEADLY

DISEASES.

WE MEET A MAN WHO LOST 100

POUNDS AND HIS WIFE WHODROPPED

50 AND THEY DID IT ONE STEP AT

A TIME.

TOGETHER JEFF AND ANGELA

JORDON DEVELOPED A LOVE OF

RUNNING AND IN THE PROCESS LOST

A COMBINED 150 POUNDS.

WE FEEL 20 YEARS YOUNGER.

WE FEEL SO MUCH MORE ENERGETIC.

25 YEARS AGO THEY DEVELOPED

A LOVE FOR EACH OTHER.

LIKE MANY OVERTIME THEY SLOWLY

PUT ON WEIGHT.

JEFF WAS 264 POUNDS.

ANGELA WEIGHED 195.

I HAD GOTTEN TO THE POINT

WHERE MY WEDDING RING WAS

CUTTING OFF THE CIRCULATION TO

MY FINGER.

I STARTED TO DEVELOP LOWER BACK

PAIN FROM STANDING AND DOING

THE DISHES.

IF AN EFFORT TO EXERCISE THEY

JOINED A RUNNING CLUB.

THEY ASKED US WHAT OUR

GOALS WERE AND WE SAID WE ARE

HERE FORFEITNESS.

THEY SAID THAT'S GREAT.

WE WILL HELP.

THEY WERE JUST THERE FOR

EVERYBODY IF THEY WERE GOING TO

RUN A MARATHON OR JUST WALK OR

JOG TO THE END OF THE STREET.

THEY SAY RUNNING BRINGS

THEM CLOSER TO GOD.

TO GO OUT ON A RUN AND PUT

JUST WORSHIP MUSIC ON AND

SURROUND YOURSELF IN THAT AND

YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN TO

CHURCH AND WORSHIPED.

THEY INITIALLY THOUGHT THEY

WERE TOO BUSY TO EXERCISE BUT

AFTER HITTING THE ROAD HAVE

FELT BLESSED WITH GREATER

PRODUCTION IN LESS TIME.

AND I TOLD GOD.

I SAID, LOOK, EVERY STEP I TAKE

TOWARD BECOMING PHYSICALLY FIT

I WANT TO YOU PROSPER IT AND

BLESS IT.

I FEEL LIKE HE HAS.

SOON AFTER THEY STARTED

RUNNING THEY WANTED TO GET

BETTER AT IT AND ENJOY IT MORE.

THAT MOTIVATED THEM TO CHANGE

THEIR DIET.

I STARTED TO GO TOWARD THE

FOODS THAT WERE GOING TO

PROVIDE BETTER ENERGY.

LIKE WHOLE GRAINS,

VEGETABLES, BEANS, AND FRUIT.

ONE THING THAT I HAD FOUND

IN ALL OF THE RESEARCH WAS THAT

97% OF AMERICANS DON'T GET

ENOUGH FIBER.

I FOUND THE MORE I WENT TOWARD

THAT HIGHER FIBER CONTENT

ACTUALLY TRANSLATED TO MORE

WEIGHT LOSS.

THEN THE COUPLE STARTED

COUNTING CALORIES.

IF YOU TAKE IN LESS THAN

YOU BURN YOU ARE GOING TO LOOSE

WEIGHT.

YOU CAN SEE IT IN BLACK AND

WHITE.

YOU SEE EXACTLY AND I THINK

WITH PUTTING EVERYTHING DOWN ON

PAPER THERE IS NO BLIND SPOTS.

AFTER A YEAR JEFF LOST 100

POUNDS AND ANGELA LOST 50 ALONG

WITH HER BACK PAIN.

ONE DAY I WAS JUST LIKE

IT'S GONE.

I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THE PAIN

PILLS AND THIS RING COMES OFF

NOW.

THEY HOPE THEIR RESULTS AND

TESTIMONY INSPIRE OTHERS.

I WOULD SAY IT DOESN'T HAVE

TO BE RUNNING.

FIND YOUR EXERCISE THAT SUITS

YOU AND PURSUE IT.

CBN NEWS.

THOSE ARE TODAY'S TOP

STOREYS CBN NEWS.

WE ARE BACK WITH MORE OF THE

700 CLUB AFTER THIS.

> THE BIBLE IS GOING GOING

BACK TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

THAT'S NOT AGAINST THE LAW.

A TEACHER IN VIRGINIA IS ON A

MISSION TO PUT BIBLES IN SCHOOL

LIBRARIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

IT'S NOT JUST ANY BIBLE.

THESE ARE ACTION BIBLES.

MARK MARTIN EXPLAINS.

GOD DID A MIRACLE.

HE PROTECTED DANIEL'S FRIEND

FROM THE FIRE.

NOT ONE OF THEM WAS BURNED.

IT WAS LIKE WORSE THAN BEING IN

A FIREPLACE.

BRIANNA IS READING THE

ACTION STORY BOOK BIBLE TO

STUDENTS AT THIS AFTER SCHOOL

PROGRAM IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.

IT CONTAINS BIBLE STORIES AND

AND IS DESIGNED LIKE A GRAPHIC

NOVEL.

IT SHOWS HOW GOD MADE

THINGS BUT JUST LIKE HE JUST

SPOKE AND THEN THEY APPEARED.

THEY BELIEVE READING THE

BIBLE HAS CHANGED HIS LIFE FOR

THE BETTER.

I USED TO SAY BAD WORDS AND

DO BAD STUFF LIKE BULLY TO

PEOPLE'S HOUSES AND STUFF.

THEN I STARTED READING THE

BIBLE AND I DON'T DO THAT NO

MORE.

MY NAME IS HANNAH AND I'M

AN ELEMENTARY TEACH AMERICA

VIRGINIA AND A PUBLIC SCHOOL.

PUBLIC SCHOOLTEACHER HANNAH

SAID GOD PUT IT ON HER HEART TO

DONATE THE ACTION STORY BOOK

BIBLE.

HER MISSION ALSO INCLUDES

GETTING THE BIBLE IN CLASSROOMS

AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS.

I STARTED TO PRAYER WALK

AROUND THE SCHOOL.

AS I WOULD PASS EVERY WINDOW IN

OUR SCHOOL I WOULD PRAY FOR MY

CO WORKERS BY NAME AND I WOULD

PRAY FOR THE STUDENTS THAT

ENTERED THE BUILDING.

IT WAS ONE PARTICULAR DAY THAT

I PRAYED THAT JESUS'S NAME

WOULD BE MENTIONED IN THE

CLASSROOMS AND HALLWAYS OF OUR

SCHOOL.

LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT PRAYER

GOT ANSWERED IN WAYS I COULDN'T

IMAGINE.

ONE BIGGER WAY CAME IN

APRIL WHEN SHE LAUNCHED THE

NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION BIBLES

IN SCHOOLS.

GOD REALLY OPENED MY EYES

TO REALIZE IF WE HAVE THIS OLD

BIBLE IN OUR SCHOOL HOW COME WE

DON'T HAVE A MORE ENGAGING

BIBLE THAT IS FUN AND THAT HAS

PICTURES IN IT?

THE MOVEMENT IS NOW SPREAD

TO 18 COUNTIES IN VIRGINIA AND

SEVEN STATES SINCE PEOPLE

STARTED DONATING, SHE SAID

AROUND 125 STUDENTS HAVE

CHECKED THEM OUT FROM THEIR

LIBRARIES.

YOU MAY BE ASKING YOURSELF

DOES A BIBLE EVEN ALLOWED ON

THE SHELVES OF A PUBLIC SCHOOL

LIBRARY OR AM I ALLOWED TO

DONATE A BIBLE TO A PUBLIC

SCHOOL?

SHE URGES YOU TO KNOW YOUR

RIGHTS AND THEN TO USE THEM.

ANYONE CAN DONATE ANYTHING

TO THEIR LIBRARY AT SCHOOL.

IT IS -- IF THEY TAKE OTHER

DONATIONS THEN THEY HAVE TO

ACCEPT THE BIBLE DONATION.

THE THEY DON'T HAVE TO PUT IT

ON THEIR SHELF THOUGH.

THAT IS WHERE PRAYER REALLY

COMES IN.

AS TEACHERS IF YOU HAVE OTHER

LITERATURE ON YOUR SCHOOL

SHELVES YOU CAN HAVE THE BIBLE

ON YOUR SHELF.

ART TEACHER CHELSEA

BELIEVES GOD WOKE HER UP AND

PLANTED THE IDEA TO PUT A BIBLE

IN HER CLASSROOM.

JUST 3:00 A.M.

AND I CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN IT.

IT JUST -- YOU NEED TO PUT ONE

OF THESE ON YOUR SHELF AND I

WAS LIKE OKAY, LET'S DO IT.

THE ACTION BIBLE IS ALSO

AVAILABLE IN VERSIONS FOR

MIDEXAMPLE HIGH SCHOOL WHICH

MEANS LEVI WILL BE ABLE TO STAY

IN THE WORD THROUGH GRADUATION.

WHY DO YOU LIKE THIS BIBLE?

[INAUDIBLE]

WHY DO YOU LIKE TO LEARN

ABOUT GOD?

BECAUSE HE IS [INAUDIBLE]

I LIKE TO PRAY [INAUDIBLE]

AND TICK OUR TAKE OUR SIN AND

COME BACK ALIVE.

CONGRATULATIONS TO HANNAH.

WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA.

VERY CREATIVE.

IF YOU WANT TO GET INVOLVED

HERE IS AN EASY WAY TO DO IT.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ON BIBLES

IN SCHOOL, AND THE ACTION BIBLE

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO TO OUR

WEBSITE, CBN NEWS.COM AND BE A

THESE EVENTS MADE NEWS ANCHOR

SCOTT SWAN PART OF THE

HEADLINES HIMSELF.

TAKE A LOOK.

APRIL 26th, 2017, NEWS

ANCHOR SCOTT SWAN HAD JUST

POWERED THROUGH ANOTHER MIDDAY

NEWSCAST IN INDIANAPOLIS.

NOW HE COULD NO LONGER IGNORE

THE PAIN THAT THIS PLAGUED HIM

FOR DAYS.

I WENT IN TO THE BATHROOM

AND FELT LIGHT HEADED, CLAMMY,

I JUST FELT THIS PAIN DOWN IN

MY STOMACH.

I JUST KNEW THAT, YOU KNOW,

THIS WAS GETTING WORSE.

PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.

HIS WIFE WAS IN MEXICO ON

BUSINESS WHEN HE TEXTED HER THE

PAIN HAD GOTTEN WORSE.

THAT'S WHEN I SHOT HIM THE

TEXT ALL CAPS, GO TO THE DOCTOR

TODAY.

I JUST KNEW IT WASN'T GETTING

BETTER.

HE NEEDED TO GO.

I DON'T KNOW IDENTIFY FELT

FEAR.

I JUST FELT PAIN.

STILL HE WAITED UNTIL AFTER

WORK TO CAN ELK INTO AN

EMERGENCY ROOM.

AFTER FINDING HIS BLOOD

PRESSURE DANGEROUSLY LOW

DOCTORS ORDERED A CAT SCAN.

A DOCTOR GOT A FRANTIC CALL

FROM THE ER DOCTOR.

HE CALLED ME EVEN BEFORE

SCOTT GOT OUT AND FOUND HE WAS

BLEEDING INTO HIS BELLY.

HE WAS BARELY CONSCIOUS.

WE KNEW HE WAS PLEADING TO

DEATH.

WE DIDN'T KNOW WHY.

THEY DID KNOW SCOTT NEEDED

SURGERY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I TRIED TO GET HIM FLOWN

DOWN TO THE BIG HOSPITAL AT

SAINT VINCENT'S BUT WE COULDN'T

BECAUSE OF A STORM.

WE HAD TO BRING HIM DOWN BY

AMBULANCE.

I WOULD PUT HIS STATS AT DYING

ON THE WAY DOWN TO SEE ME

PROBABLY AROUND 70, 80%.

MEANWHILE HIS WIFE WAS

FLYING TO GET A FLIGHT HOME

FROM MEXICO.

ALL SHE KNOW WAS HE HAD CHECKED

IN TO THE ER BUT NOW NEEDED TO

BE TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER

HOSPITAL.

I HAD NO IDEA REALLY HOW

SEVERE IT WAS.

I'M NOT GETTING INFORMAION.

IT WAS VERY HARD TO

COMMUNICATE.

I JUST -- I WAS STUCK.

I COULDN'T LEAVE.

ALL I JUST WANTED TO DO WAS SIT

AND PRAY AND LIKE I WAS JUST --

I GUESS DISTRAUGHT IS THE ONLY

WORD I CAN THINK OF.

SCOTT NOW IN A 30 MINUTE

AMBULANCE RIDE AND RUNNING OUT

OF TIME WAS HAVING A DIFFERENT

EXPERIENCE.

I DON'T REMEMBER FEELING

THE PAIN AT THAT POINT.

I JUST KNEW THAT I SENSED THAT

GOD WAS WITH ME.

WHILE I COULDN'T SPEAK OR OPEN

MY EYES I FELT GOD'S PEACE IN

THE BACK OF THAT AMBULANCE.

BY THE TIME ARRIVED AT

SAINT VINCENT DETHE DOCTOR WAS

WAITING HAD HIM TAKEN STRAIGHT

TO THE OR.

HE HAD BEEN RECEIVING UPDATES

ON SCOTT'S CONDITION.

HIS BLOOD PRESSURE WAS VERY

LOW.

AT ONE TIME IT WAS DOWN TO THE

50'S AND WHEN IT GETS THAT LOW

IT'S HARD TO GET ENOUGH BLOOD

FLEW TO YOUR BRAIN.

BRAIN.

HE TRIED TO LOCATE THE

BLEEDING ARTERY.

INSTEAD HE MADE A STARTLING

DISCOVERY.

LOOKED LIKE HE HAD STOPPED

BLEEDING.

STOPPED ON ITS OWN.

THEN AFTER THAT WE KIND OF

STOPPED EVERYTHING.

AS SURGERY WAS NO LONGER

NEEDED HE WAS SENT TO INTENSIVE

CARE.

THE NEXT DAY HE PUT IN A COIL

INTO HIS ARTERY TO PREVENT

FURTHER BLEEDING.

AFTER FINDING A FLIGHT HOME HE

ARRIVED AT THE HOSPITAL LATER

THAT SAME DAY SLOWLY THE

DETAILS OF SCOTT'S PUSH WITH

DEATH STARTED TO UNFOLD.

I RAN IN TO THE ROOM AND

WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE HIM.

HOW CLOSE HE WAS TO DYING.

AFTER 12 DAYS HE WENT HOME.

BY THEN DOCTORS HAD FOUND HE

HAD A RARE DISORDER THAT

ATTACKED THE ARTERIES.

IT COULD BE CONTROLLED BY

MEDICATION.

NO OTHER COMLY INDICATIONS

AND HIS CAT SCANS SHOWN THAT

THE -- IT HAS COMPLETELY GONNA

WAY.

I THINK THERE IS NO DOUBT IF HE

DIDN'T STOP BLEEDING ON HIS OWN

HE WOULD HAVE DIED BEFORE HE

GOT DOWN HERE TO SEE ME.

TO ME THERE IS NO GOOD

MEDICAL EXPLANATION AS TO WHY

THAT ARTERY SEALED WHY I

STOPPED BLEEDING.

THIS EXPERIENCE WAS

REVEALED GOD'S POWER TO HIM.

I KNOW THAT THE LORD TAKES

SOMETHING AND JUST MAKE ITSELF

BETTER AND THAT'S WHAT HE HAS

DONE WITH THE SITUATION.

NOW FOR HIM TO HAVE A PLATFORM

LIKE THIS TO GO AND SPREAD THE

GOOD NEWS AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS.

I READ THROUGH SCRIPTURE,

GOD IS MY ROCK, GOD IS MY

HEALER.

THOSE WERE JUST WORDS BEFORE.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED ALL OF THOSE

FIRSTHAND.

GOD IS MY HEALER.

GOD IS MY SAVIOR.

HE IS MY GOD OF MIRACLES.

I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT

WHATEVER YOU ARE GOING THROUGH

IN LIFE, THAT GOD IS WITH YOU.

I HOPE THAT TODAY YOU CAN

RECEIVE THAT WORD BECAUSE IT'S

FOR ALL OF US.

HE IS OUR ROCK, OUR HEALER, OUR

SAVIOR.

IS HE THERE IN TIME OF NEED, IS

HE THERE IN THE GOOD TIMES HE

IS THERE IN THE BAD TIMES IS HE

THERE.

HE HAS PLAN AND PURPOSE FOR

YOUR LIFE AND POWER AND SO

TODAY ON THE HEELS OF THIS

AMAZING TESTIMONY OF WHAT GOD

DID FOR SCOTT WE WANT TO PRAY

FOR YOU.

DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR NEEDS ARE

BUT WE KNOW MANY OF YOU HAVE

THING THAT ARE YOU ASKING GOD

TO INTERVENE INTO, TO TOUCH, TO

CHANGE, TO HEAL.

SO WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOUR

FAITH.

THIS IS AN E-MAIL FROM JULIE.

AND A DIAGNOSIS OF ARTHRITIS.

JUDGMENT A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO

OUR TRIP MY HUSBAND AND I WERE

WATCHING THE 700 CLUB WHEN

GORDON HAD A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE

AND START GIVING AGAIN.

BY FAITH SHE STARTED GIVING

$20 A MONTH TO CBN.

BEFORE LONG SHE BECAME A TOP

PRODUCER IN HER OFFICE MAKING

@TWICE WHAT SHE MADE THE YEAR

BEFORE.

THE ONLY REREASON I CAN

THINK OF IS THE EXTRA $20 A

MONTH.

I WAS LIKE THIS WORKS.

OTHERTHS STARTED ASKING

WHERE HER SUCCESS WAS COMING

FROM.

TELL YOU MY SECRET.

HAVE YOU TO GIVE ABOVE AND

BEYOND YOUR TITHE TO FURTHER

GOD'S KINGDOM.

WITH HER INCREASED INCOME

SHE PAID OFF HER DEBT AND GAVE

EVEN MORE.

ONCE SHE GAVE A THOUSAND

DOLLARS TO CBN.

ITS ALIKE THE LY SPIRIT

SAID DO IT.

I JUST KEPT MAKING MORE SALES.

I THOUGHT WELL I WONDER

IDENTIFY CAN BUY A HOME.

SOON SHE WAS A FIRST TIME

HOMEOWNER.

NOW YEARS LATER SHE OWNS SEVEN

RENTAL PROPERTIES AND CONTINUES

TO GIVE TO CBN.

ANY TIME I SEE -- JUST BUYS

A SEWING MACHINE FOR SOMEONE TO

MAKE THEM SELF SUFFICIENT AND

GET OUT OF THEIR POVERTY JUST

TOUCHED MY HEART.

TO BRING WATER TO PEOPLE THAT

ARE DRINKING FROM THIS

DISGUSTING.

THAT'S ALL THAT MONEY

REPRESENTS IS BEING ABLE TO

HELP PEOPLE.

SHE ENCOURAGES OTHERS WHO

ARE FINANCIALLY STUCK TO FOLLOW

IN HER FOOTSTEPS AND GIVE.

YOU JUST HAVE TO TRUST GOD.

YOU GIVE ABOVE YOUR TITHE TO

FURTHER GOD'S KINGDOM.

THAT'S IT.

YOU CAN'T -- I DON'T -- THE

MORE I GIVE HIM THE MORE I HAVE

AND THE MORE GRATEFUL I AM SO

THE MORE I GIVE HIM.

JUST NEVER ENDING.

I LOVE HER STORY AND I

ENCOURAGE YOU TO ADOPT WHAT SHE

DID.

HERE IS WHAT -- HERE IS WHAT

SHE DID.

SHE STARTED PRAYING FOR HER

FINANCING.

THAT STARTED BREAKTHROUGH AFTER

BREAKTHROUGH.

WHEN YOU START PRAYING OVER

YOUR JOB, WHEN YOU START

PRAYING OVER YOUR FINANCES,

IT'LL LEAD YOU TO SAY I WANT TO

BE KNOWN AS GENEROUS.

WHEN YOU START THAT THE LAW

WILL KICK IN FOR YOU.

GIVE AND IT'LL BE GIVEN UNTOU.

THESE ARE THE WORDS OF JESUS.

I'M NOT SOME KIND OF PROSPERITY

PREACHER.

I AM A PREACHER OF THE GOSPEL

OF GENEROSITY.

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT

HE GAVE.

WHEN YOU START A LIFESTYLE OF

GIVING AND GENEROUS AND

CHEERFUL GIVENNING, WONDERFUL

THINGS WILL HAPPEN.

GOD ALWAYS STANDS BY HIS WORD

TO PREFORM IT.

HE WILL PREFORM IT FOR YOU IF

YOU JUST FOLLOW THE SAME

PRINCIPLES.

NOW IF YOU WANT TO START A LIFE

OF GENEROSITY OVER AND ABOVE

AND SAY I WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR

THAT, GIVE US A CALL.

JUST SAY I WANT TO JOIN THE 700

CLUB.

JUST LIKE MARIA'S $20 A MONTH.

THAT'S JUST 65-CENTS A DAY.

LEVEL WE HAVE 700 CLUB GOLD.

THAT'S $40 A MONTH.

WE HAVE A THOUSAND CLUB.

PLEDGE EXPRESS OR GO TO

INTERNET YOU ARE SIGNING UP FOR

> UP NEXT AFTER TWO WEEKS THE

HONEYMOON WAS OVER.

NO SURPRISE HERE.

TWO TOXIC PEOPLE MAKE AN

EXPLOSIVE MARRIAGE.

HOW DID THEY HIDE IT INSIDE THE

CHURCH AND HOW DID A SUCKER

PUNCH BLOW THEIR SECRET?

> TOMMY HAD A RAGING TEMPER.

MICHELLE HAD TRAFFICKED GUNS

AND DRUGS.

THE TWO OF THEM GOT MARRIED

JUST FOUR MONTHS AFTER MEETING.

THE COMBINATION QUICKLY BECAME

TOXIC.

WHEN TOMMY AND MICHELLE

HUNTER MET IN 2008 THEY WERE

BOTH NEW CHRISTIANS HEALING

TROUBLED PASTS.

GROWING UP THEY HAD BOTH BEEN

VICTIMS OF EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL

AND SEXUAL ABUSE LEADING THEM

TO LIVES OF ANGER, BROKENNESS

AND VIOLENCE.

MY MOM WAS A SINGLE MOM.

SHE DATE AID FEW GUYS WHO WERE

EXTREMELY PHYSICALLY ABUSIVE

AND I SPECIFICALLY REMEMBER ONE

TIME A GUY COMING IN THE HOUSE

AND BEATING MY MOM UP AND --

IMUST HAVE BEEN THREE AND I

REMEMBER TAKING A PLASTIC

MACHINE GUN AND BEATING HIM

OVER THE BACK, TRYING TO GET

HIM OFF HER AND HIM THROWING ME

ACROSS THE ROOM.

FOR WHAT THEY WAS TRYING TO

FIGURE OUT FOR 40 YEARS WAS WHY

WAS I SO MAD?

WHY WAS I SO DISFUNCTIONAL?

WHY THINGS AROUND ME ALWAYS

SEEMED TO FALL APART.

MOST OF MY LIFE I JUST WAS

INVOLVED IN DRUGS AND GUNS AND,

YOU KNOW WORKED HELDS ANGELS

AND MEXICAN MAFIA AND I JUST

REALLY WAS PURPOSEFUL AT GOING

THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION FROM

GOD.

WHEN I WAS 30 EVERYTHING PRETTY

MUCH CAUGHT UP WITH ME AND I

WAS LOOKING AT A VERY LONG

PRISON SENTENCE AND GOT RESCUED

ME OUT OF ALL OF THAT.

WHEN I WAS LET OUT OF JAIL AND

DIDN'T HAVE TO SPEND 20

SOMETHING YEARS IN PRISON I

MADE A DECISION THAT I NEED TO

CHANGE MY LIFE.

AFTER FOUR MOSS OF DATING

THEY MARRIED.

AFTER ONLY TWO WEEKS THE

HONEYMOON WAS OVER AND THE

REALITY OF THEIR UNRESOLVED

PAIN WAS REVEALED.

THE PHYSICAL, VERBAL ABUSE

I EXPERIENCED CREATED A MIND

SET THAT WOMEN WERE GOOD FOR

TWO THINGS, ONE FOR SEX, TWO

FOR ABUSE.

TOMMY WOULD GET MAD.

HE WOULD -- HIS RAGE AND ANGER

WOULD JUST OVER TAKE HIM.

HE WAS ALL ABOUT INTIMIDATING

AND SO THERE WAS A LOT OF

SCREAMING AND YELLING AND

SHAKING HIS FIST AT ME AND

PRETENDING LIKE HE WOULD HEAD

BUT ME SO HE WOULD GET REAL

CLOSE AND ROAR IN MY FACE.

SHE TURNED TO DRUGS TO COPE

WITH HER HUSBAND'S RAGE.

I FELT LIKE IF I WAS REALLY

NUMB I COULD KEEP FROM MYSELF

FROM BEING UPSET OR I COULD

STAY IN CONTROL OF MYSELF

MEANING I WOULDN'T LASH OUT AT

HIM.

I WOULDN'T START CRYING.

I WOULD JUST BE LIKE DON'T

CARE.

THE COUPLE MANAGED TO MARK

THE TENSION AT HOME WHILE

SERVING AS TRUSTED MINISTRY

LEADERS AT THEIR CHURCH.

THERE WAS A PERCEPTION IN

OUR CHURCH, I THINK WHERE

PEOPLE LOOKED THE US, THAT WE

WERE THIS GREAT COUPLE AND

HUSBAND WAS SO CHARISMATIC AND

A GREAT PREACHER.

WE WOULD GO TO CHURCH AND PLAY

CHURCH AND THEN GO HOME AND IT

WOULD BE VERY DESTRUCTIVE.

THE ARGUMENTS ESCALATED.

ONE EVENING AFTER DINNER DRINKS

THE VIOLENCE BECAME PHYSICAL.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE CAR

WAS BECAUSE OF THE LANGUAGE

THAT I WAS USING MICHELLE

REACHED OVER AND JUST STARTED

PUNCHING ME.

THERE WAS SUCH CHAOS AND

CRAZE ANINESS HAPPENING IN OUR

CAR.

WHEN HE ACTUALLY REACHED OVER

AND PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE OF

COURSE I WAS JUST HYSTERICAL.

POLICE ARRESTED TOMMY.

ONCE OUT OF JAIL HE REUNITED

WITH MICHELLE.

I MONTH LATER SHE FOUND OUT SHE

WAS EXPECTING AND GAVE UP

DRUGS.

FIVE MONTHS INTO BEING PREGNANT

SHE CAUGHT TOMMY CHEATING,

FILMED FOR SEPARATION AND MOVED

TO ARIZONA WITHOUT TOMMY BY HER

SIDE MICHELLE GAVE BIRTH TO A

STILL BORN BABY.

DISTRAUGHT AND DESPERATE FOR A

BETTER LIFE SHE CRIED OUT TO

GOD.

I HAD BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH

IN MY LIFE BEFORE I CONSIDERED

MYSELF TO BE SUCH A STRONG

PERSON THAT NOTHING THAT EVER

HAPPENED TO ME WOULD BREAK ME.

I WAS REALLY BROKEN.

I GOT AHOLD OF SOME TEACHINGS

ABOUT THE LOVE OF GOD LIKE WHO

AM I? I'M NOT JUST A WIFE OR A

MOTHER LIKE WHO IS MICHELLE?

WHO AM I? I STARTED REALLY LIKE

CHASING INTENSELY AFTER THE

LOVE OF GOD.

I WAS LIKE I WAS RESTING AND

RELAXING IN JUST HIS PRESENCE.

SO, IT WASN'T A SHOW ANYMORE.

IT WASN'T ABOUT GOING TO CHURCH

AND DOING THE CHRISTIAN THING

IT.

WAS ABOUT BEING A CHRISTIAN

ALONE IN MY ROOM WITH HIM.

NOW DIVORCED AS SHE ALLOWED

GOT TO HEAL HER HEART TOMMY WAS

FINALLY DEALING HIS ANGER.

I STARTED LOOKING AT REALLY

BROKE DOWN VERSES ABOUT LOVE

THAT THIS WAS WHAT I HAD

DESPERATELY BEEN SEARCHING FOR

Y ENTIRE LIFE.

BECAUSE HE WAS SO PATIENT AND

BECAUSE HE WAS SO KIND IT WAS

THAT I KNEW HE WAS FOR ME.

HE HAD MY BACK.

THAT HE WASN'T MAD AT ME AND HE

WASN'T DISAPPOINTED IN ME.

HE JUST SAW ME AS HIS SON.

HE LOVED MANY HE SO MUCH AND HE

HAD SUCH A GREAT JOURNEY FOR ME

AND THERE WAS A TRUE PEACE THAT

CAME IN THAT MOMENT OR THAT

TIME FRAME.

THE LOVE OF GOD FILLED ME

WITH COMPASSION, UNDERSTANDING

THAT MY HUSBAND WAS VERY

BROKEN.

THAT IT WASN'T THAT HE WAS A

HORRIBLE MAN.

IT WAS THAT HE WAS JUST AS

BROKEN AS I WAS, JUST IN

DIFFERENT WAYS AND IT LOOKED

DIFFERENT.

I JUST KNEW THAT NO MATTER WHAT

I WAS GOING TO BELIEVE FOR THE

RESTORATION OF MY MARRIAGE.

SHE REACHED OUT TO TOMMY,

COMMITTED TO SHOWING HIM THE

LOVE GOD SHOWED HER.

SHE LONGED TO BE RECONCILED

WITH EACH OTHER.

WHEN TOO MANIY ASKED MICHELLE

TO MARRY HIM AGAIN SHE SAID

YES.

THEY VOWED TO NEVER ENGAGE IN

PHYSICAL ABUSE AGAIN.

TODAY THEY FIBBED FREEDOM AND

HEALING AS THEY SHARE THEIR

TESTIMONY AROUND THE WORLD.

TOGETHER THEY LEAD A MARRIAGE

MINISTRY AND HAVE PASTORS OF

HIS PLACE CHURCH IN LONG BEACH,

CALIFORNIA.

MY MARRIAGE IS THE MOST

AMAZING THING I HAVE EVER

EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE.

I'M MARRIED TO A BIG TEDDY BEAR

WHO JUST LOVES GOD AND WHO

LOVES ME AND LOVES HIMSELF.

CAN'T GIVE AWAY SOMETHING

YOU DON'T HAVE.

FOR THE FIRST TIME I REALLY HAD

LOVE.

SO I'M ABLE TO GIVE IT TO HER

AND EVERYBODY ELSE.

I SEE JESUS IN OUR MARRIAGE

TODAY AS THE CENTER OF OUR

MARRIAGE.

WE WAKE NEWSPAPER THE MORNING

OUR GOAL IS TO BE JESUS TO EACH

OTHER.

IT'S TO LOVE LIKE HE LOVED.

TODAY I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE

LIFE BEING ANY BETTER.

THAT IS THE GOAL FOR CHRIST

TO LIVE IN US, NOT JUST FOR US

TO KNOW ABOUT HIM.

NOT JUST TO MAKE A COMMITMENT

OF WORDS BUT TO OPEN UP OUR

HEARTS AND OUR LIVES FOR HIM TO

LIVE WITH IN US, TO OPERATE

THROUGH US, TO CHANGE US AND

THEN AS OTHERS SEE WHAT WE HAS

DONE FOR THEM TO DESIRE TO BE

CHANGED AS WELL.

YOU KNOW WE CAN'T CONTROL THE

THING THAT HAPPEN TO US WHEN WE

ARE CHILDREN AND AS TOMMY SAID

I WONDER WHY MY WHOLE LIFE I

WAS SO ANGRY.

WHEN THINGS HAPPEN TO US IN OUR

CHILDHOOD AND WE HAVE TO GO

BACK TO INVITE JESUS AND LET

HIM HEAL SO WE CAN BE WHOLE NOW

TODAY.

IT'S SO EASY TO SAY WE ARE

BELIEVEERNS, IT ITS EASY TO SAY

THAT WE TRUST CHRIST.

IT'S ANOTHER THING TO GIVE IT

ALL TO HIM.

THAT'S WHY HE WITH CALL IT

SURRENDER.

IT'S A LAYING DOWN OF WHO WE

ARE.

A GRABBING HOLD OF WHO HE IS SO

THAT HIS SPIRIT CAN FILL US.

THE BIBLE SAYS THE LOVE OF THE

LORD NEVER CHANGES.

HIS MERRY'S NEVER COME TO AN

END.

THEY ARE NEW EVERY MORNING.

THAT IS YOUR INHERITANCE IF YOU

ARE A CHRIST FOLLOWER.

JUST COME TO HIM AND SAY I HAVE

SO BLOWN IT.

I HAVE BLOWN IT IN THE PAST.

ISHLY MADE PROMISES TO YOU I

HAVEN'T KEPT.

I HAVE BLOWN IT NOW.

I'M COMING TO YOU TODAY SAYING

I WANT TO BE DONE WITH ME.

I WANT TO BE FILLED WITH YOU.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME.

FILL ME WITH YOUR POWER AND

YOUR PRESENCE AND TEACH ME YOUR

WAYS SO I IS LIVE DIFFERENTLY.

HOLY SPIRIT COME INTO MY HEART,

MY MIND, MY SPIRIT.

I GIVE EVERYTHING THAT I AM TO

YOU.

THEN GET INTO THE WORD OF GOD

AND WATCH HIM BEGIN TO CHANGE

YOU.

DON'T SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS.

THIS IS GOD'S PROMISE TO YOU.

IF YOU HAVE A SPECIAL NEED IN

YOUR LIFE AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO

PRAY FOR SOMEONE, WANT TO YOU

KNOW OUR PHONE LINES ALWAYS

OPEN.

THE NUMBERS TOLL FREE.

IT DOESN'T COST ANYTHING TO

CALL.

THERE IS A FRIEND ON THE OTHER

END OF THAT LINE WHO WHO PRAYED

THAT PRAYER, GIVEN THEIR LIVES

TO CHRIST AND WOULD LOVE TO

PRAY FOR YOU TODAY.

WE LEAVE WITH THESE WORDS.

LOVE BEARS ALL THINGS, BELIEVES

ALL THINGS, HOPES ALL THINGS,

ENDURES ALL THINGS.
