COMING UP MARK PATTERSON SHARES

THE SECRETS OF STICKING TO A

PLAN.

THEN HE HAD IT ALL AND WANTED

MORE.

NEED A BIGGER HOUSE, A

LITTLE MORE LAND.

I NEED A PRETTIER WIFE, I NEED

MORE MONEY.

WHY WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH

NEVER ENOUGH?

WHEN YOU PICK UP $70,000

CHECKS IT'S HARD TO ADMIT YOU

HAVE A PROBLEM.

WHAT DEFIND INSTEAD?

I WON'T SAY I WANTED TO DIE

BUT I DIDN'T CARE IF I LIVED.

ON TODAY'S 700 CLUB.

WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

THE SUPREME COURT HEARS

ARGUMENTS TODAY ON THE

PRESIDENT'S CONTROVERSIAL

VACCINE MANDATES.

THE FATE OF MORE THAN 80

MILLION AMERICAN WORKERS HANGS

IN THE BALANCE.

THE MANDATE HAS SPARKED

NATIONWIDE PROTESTS AND

MULTIPLE LAWSUITS FUELED BY

SPECULATION ABOUT HOW FAR THE

GOVERNMENT CAN GO IN A NATIONAL

EMERGENCY.

BRODY CARTER REPORTS.

A DEEPENING DIVIDE OVER

VACCINE MANDATES HAS WORKED

THROUGH THE LEGAL SYSTEM

REACHING THE HIGH COURT.

THE JUSTICES DECISION COULD SET

A PRECEDENT IN A BALANCE

BETWEEN PERSONAL FREEDOM AND

THE GOVERNMENT'S POWER TO ACT

IN A CRISIS.

WHAT'S AT STAKE IS WHETHER

OR NOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

CAN CLAIM VAST EXPANSIONIVE

POWERS IN TIME OF EMERGENCY.

> JUSTICES WILL HEAR ARGUMENTS

ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT OF

THE PRESIDENT'S EMERGENCY ORDER

FORCING PRIVATE BUSINESSES WITH

100 OR MORE EMPLOYEES TO SUBMIT

TO MANDATORY VACCINATIONS OR

FACE WEEKLY TESTING.

THE ANSWER TO THAT SURELY

HAS TO ME NO.

OTHERWISE, THIS CONCEPT OF A

LIMITED FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS

REALLY BEEN STRETCHED TO THE

BREAKING POINT.

THE ATTORNEY WITH ALLIANCE

DEFENDING FREEDOM SAID THE

MANDATE CASE IS MOVING SWIFTLY.

OSHA FIRST ANNOUNCED IN THE

NOVEMBER.

IT WAS IMMEDIATELY CHALLENGED

IN COURT.

THE 5th COURT OF APPEALS THEN

FROZE THE MANDATE AND LIFTED

THE STAY IN DECEMBER.

NOW THE SUPREME COURT HAS

AGREED TO STEPN.

IF THE COURT FINDS THAT THE

MANDATE SHOULD BE STAYED, THEN

THAT WOULD PROVIDE PROTECTION

TO OUR CLIENTS AS WELL.

THAT.

DECISION WOULD SEND THE CASE

BACK TO THE 6th COURT OF

APPEALS WHICH IS OVERSEEING ALL

CONSOLIDATED LEGAL CHALLENGES

TO MANDATES.

THERE'S THE POSSIBILITY THE

COURT COULD DECIDE THE MERIT

ITS OF THE ENTIRE CASE

TOMORROW.

WE DON'T KNOW HOW THE COURT

WILL ULTIMATELY DECIDE TO

HANDLE IT.

IF IT'S REINSTATED

BUSINESSES NOT FOLLOWING THE

RULES COULD FACE FINES OF MORE

THAN $13,000 PER VIOLATION.

FEBRUARY 9th IS THE

DEADLINE FOR FULL COMPLIANCE

WITH THE TESTING REQUIREMENT.

IF THE COURT LETS THIS GO

FORWARD, WE WILL SEE A BIG

SHIFT IN POWER IN THE FEDERAL

GOVERNMENT FROM CONGRESS TO THE

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION

SAID THE MAIN ISSUE IS IF OSHA

CAN MAKE FEDERAL LAW.

THEY CAN ONLY DO THINGS

THAT CONGRESS HAS EMPOWERED

THEM TO DO.

CONGRESS HAS NOT EMPOWERED OSHA

TO IMPOSE A VACCINE MANDATE ON

BUSINESSES WITH 100 OR MORE

EMPLOYEES.

OTHER CASES PENDING REVIEW

INCLUDE INDIVIDUAL STATE

MANDATES, RELIGIOUS OBJECTIONS

TO VACCINES, AND DOZEN OF

LITIGATIONS REPRESENTING FIRMS,

BUSINESSES AND RELIGIOUS GROUPS

OPPOSED TO THE MANDATE.

THE COURT IS ALSO REVIEWING A

SEPARATE MANDATE THAT WOULD

IMPACT 17 MILLION HEALTH CARE

WORKERS.

IN TOTAL THE COURT WILL

DETERMINE THE FATE OF VACCINE

REQUIREMENTS AFFECTING MORE

THAN 80 MILLION PEOPLE.

BRODY CARTER.

CBN NEWS.

FOR MORE OF THE STORY

MICHAEL JOINS US NOW.

IS HE A SENIOR FELLOW AT THE

ROBERTSON CENTER FOR

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW AT REGENT

UNIVERSITY.

MICHAEL.

TELL US, WALK US THROUGH.

WHAT ARE THE ISSUES BEFORE THE

COURT.

WHAT ARE THE CONSTITUTION

ISSUES, THE REGULATORY ISSUES.

HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT IS AT

STAKE.

AS THE VIDEO JUST

SUGGESTED, THE MAIN SCONCAL

ISSUE IS WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S POWER?

ALL OF THIS IS GOING TO COME

DOWN HONESTLY TO THE SCOPE OF

OSHA'S POWER.

THE FIRST THING THE COURT WILL

LOOK AT WON'T BE CONSTITUTIONAL

AT ALL.

IT'LL BE THE ISSUE OF HOW

NARROWLY ARE OSHA'S POWERS AND

IS THIS MANDATE WITH IN THE

SCOPE OF THAT?

IF THE COURT DECIDES THAT THIS

WAS WITH IN THE SCOPE OF THE

POWER TO PASS, THEN THE COURT

WILL LOOK AT WHETHER OR NOT

@DELEGATE THAT AND IF THEY CAN

SO IN A CONSTITUTIONAL MANNER.

OKAY.

THE COURTS HAVE SO FAR DECLINED

TO BLOCK OFF STATE VACCINE

MANDATES.

SO, DOES THAT HAVE ANY BEARING

ON THIS CASE AT ALL?

I DON'T THINK IT DOES.

SO, A LOT OF PEOPLE REFER TO A

CASE FROM 1905 WHERE THIS WAS

CONSIDERED A PUBLIC HEALTH

ISSUE.

PUBLIC HEALTH GENERALLY FALLS

WITH IN THE POLICE POWERS AND

THE POLICE POWER BELONGS TO THE

STATE.

THE FEDERAL COURTS OVER AND

OVER HAVE REPEATED THAT -- THE

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOESN'T

POSSESS A POLICE POWER SO THIS

-- YES THE STATES CAN PASS

THESE VACCINE MANDATES BAH

THERE IS STILL AN OPEN QUESTION

ABOUT IF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

CAN.

THE QUESTION FACING THE COURT

TODAY IS IF OSHA HAS THAT

POWER.

HANDICAP THE CASE FOR US.

WHAT DO YOU THINKst POSSIBLE

OUTCOMES AND WHAT IS THE LIKELY

OUTCOME AFTER TODAY'S HEARING?

THAT'S ALWAYS A TRICKY

QUESTION.

I THINK THAT THE MOST LIKELY

OUTCOME IS THAT YOU ARE GOING

TO GET A MAJORITY OF THE COURT

THAT FINDS THAT THIS OVER

STEPPED OOHA'S POWER.

I BELIEVE THE DISSENT BELOW GOT

IT CORRECT THAT THIS WAS NOT

NECESSARY.

THAT THERE WERE OTHER MEASURE

THAT CAN BE TAKEN BY OSHA AND

THAT THIS PROBABLY STEPS

OUTSIDE OF THEIR FOCUS ON

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH.

THIS IS -- THIS IS NOT OFTEN

THAT OSHA IS ABLE TO A MANDATE

THAT FOLLOWS PEOPLE HOME FROM

THE WORKPLACE AS THE JUDGE

POINTED OUT BELOW.

YOU CAN MAKE PEOPLE WEAR FLAME

RETARDANT CLOTHING AT THE

OFFICE BUT NOT AROUND THE CLOCK

TO PREVENT FIRE INJURIES.

THE MOST LIKELY OUTCOME IS THAT

THE COURT WILL PROBABLY DECIDE

THIS ON STATUTORY GROUNDS AND

THIS WILL HAVE BEEN AN OVER

STEPPING OF BOUNDARY THAT

CONGRESS PROVIDED.

DO YOU THINK THAT THEY ARE

GOING TO ACTUALLY DECIDE IT ON

THE MERITS OR ARE THEY GOING TO

ISSUE SOME KIND OF MANDATE AND

THEN REFER IT BACK TO THE 6th

CIRCUIT?

MY GUESS WOULD BE THEY

WON'T SKIED IT ON THE MERITS.

WE ARE AT THIS TEMPORARY --

THIS PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION.

THEY ARE TRYING TO STAY THE

ENFORCEMENT OF THIS MANDATE.

ONE OF THE FACTORS IN CHOOSING

WHETHER OR NOT TO STAY THIS OR

DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO STAY

THE ISSUE IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF

SUCCESS ON THE MERITS.

THE COURT WILL HAVE TO FIND

THAT IF IT DOES STAY THE

VACCINE MANDATE IT WOULD HAVE

TO FIND THE CHALLENGES ARE

LIKELY TO REVAIL ON THE MERITS.

THERE WILL HAVE TO BE SOME SORT

OF ANALYSIS OF THE LEGAL ISSUES

HERE.

I DON'T THINK THAT THEY WILL

DECIDE IT.

IT'LL WE A DE FACTO DECISION ON

THE MERITS.

THE COURT WILL SET OUT IT'S

STANDARD AND LOOK AT THE LAW AS

IT SHOULD BE AND NO LOWER COURT

WILL BE ABLE TO GO AGAINST

THAT.

ASSUMING THEY PUT A STAY ON

IT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE

ADMINISTRATION'S RESPONSE WILL

BE?

ARE THEY GOING TO TRY TO PULL

SOME KIND OF LEGISLATION

THROUGH CONGRESS AND WHAT WOULD

THAT MEAN?

THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE

ADMINISTRATION MIGHT TRY TO DO.

I THIS TY WOULD BE FOOL HARDY

TO CONTINUE TO PUSH -- PUSH

THIS LITIGATION BUT THERE'S

ALWAYS THE CHANCE THAT THEY

COULD TRY TO PUSH SOMETHING

THROUGH CONGRESS.

AS WE HAVE SEEN, THE

PRESIDENT'S POLITICAL ACUMEN

SEEMS TO BE -- HE IS -- THE

PRESIDENT HAS MISS JUDGED SOME

OF HIS POLICY INITIATIVES AND

THE SUPPORT HE HAD IN CONGRESS.

IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE

IF THERE WAS SUPPORT FOR THIS

IN BOTH CHAMBERS OF CONGRESS.

WELL SAID.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AND

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT

THE ROBERTSON CENTER IS DOING

AT REGE IN, T.

THANK YOU.

> IN OTHER NEWS IRANIAN

BACKED FORCES LAUNCHED TWO

DRONE STRIKES AGAINST UNITED

STATES TROOPS IN IRAQ THIS

WEEK.

THE ISLAMIC REGIME WANTS ALL

UNITED STATES FORCES TO LEAVE

THE AREA AND THEY ARE

THREATENING TO KEEP UPA THE

ATTACKS UNTIL THEY GET WHAT

THEY WANT.

ON DECEMBER 9th, 2021 THE

UNITED STATES LED COMBAT

MISSION IN IRAQ CAME TO AN END

AFTER 6,850 DAYS.

THAT OCCASION HOWEVER, DID NOT

EQUAL A TICKET HOME FOR THE

2500 UNITED STATES TROOPS STILL

STATIONED IN THE COUNTRY.

NEITHER DID IT SIGNAL A CHANGE

OF MISS FOR 900 TROOPS

CURRENTLY SERVING IN SYRIA.

I EXPECT THAT WE WILL

CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SOME

LIMITED SUPPORT TO THE IRAQ

YEAHS GOING FORWARD.

AGAIN IT'LL BE ESSENTIALLY BY

AND LARGE A NONCOMBATANT

PROCESS.

REMAINING FORCE ALSO PIVOT

TO A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT ROLE.

ADVISE AND ASSIST.

THEY WILL PROVIDE IMPORTANT TO

IRAQI FORCES IN THE EFFORT TO

STAMP OUT THE ENDURING VE STIG

ES OF ISIS WHICH WAS OFFICIALLY

DEFEATED IN 2017 BUT IS MAKING

A COME BACK.

ONE NEIGHBOR CLEARLY WANTS THE

UNITED STATES OUT OF THE

REGION.

A VISION OF EJECT US FROM

THE THEATER.

THEY SEE THE PRINCIPLE

BATTLEGROUND FOR THAT AS BEING

IN IRAQ.

I BELIEVE THEY ARE UNDER THE

VIEW THAT THEY CAN INCREASE

FRICTION IN IRAQ TO WHERE WE

WILL LEAVE AND THAT WILL NOT

AFFECT THE NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS

THAT ARE UNDERWAY.

THAT IS NOT A MILITARY ISSUE.

THAT'S AN ISSUE FOR UNITED

STATES NATIONAL LEADERSHIP BUT

I THINK IT'S A DIFFERENT

POSSESSION FOR THEM TO

MAINTAIN.

I THINK THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING

TO BE ABLE TO DECOUPLE THE TWO

THINGS.

EYE YANKS'S PRESIDENT

CALLED FOR FORMER PRESIDENT

TRUMP AND HIS TOP ADVISERS TO

BE CHARGED WITH THE 2020

KILLING OF IRANIAN GENERAL.

THE THEN PRESIDENT OF

AMERICA WHICH IS THE MAIN

AGGRESSOR [INAUDIBLE]

AND A CRIMINAL MUST BE

PROSECUTED AND KILLED.

THE ACCEPT TENSE OF GOD MUST BE

EXECUTED AGAINST HIM.

DURING THE MASSIVE MEMORIAL

HELD ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE

DEATH AMERICAN AND HE IS REALLY

FLAGS WITH BURNED AND THE CHANT

OF DEATH TO AMERICA E WENT

THROUGH THE STREETS.

ADDINGTO REGIONAL INSTABILITY

POPULAR FORCES BACKED BY IRAN

HAD BEEN THREATENING EYE LENS

IF THE UNITED STATES DIDN'T

PULL OUT BY THE END OF 2021.

NOW THEY ARE MAKING GOOD ON

THOSE THREATS.

SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR

MISSILES HAVE BEEN FIRED AT

UNITED STATES BASES IN THE AREA

ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS.

SO FAR NO INJURIES HAVE BEEN

REPORTED AS THE KILLER DRONES

WERE BROUGHT DOWN BY COUNTER

ROCKET AND MORTAR BATTERIES

WHICH CAN FIRE MORE THAN 4,000

ROUNDS A MINUTE.

THE UNITED STATES IS NOW

STRIKING BACK IN RETALIATION

WHICH SHOWS THE COMBAT PHASE OF

THIS CONFLICT MAY NOT BE OVER

AFTER ALL.

FOR CBN NEWS.

I NOW WE HAVE BEEN FOCUSED

SO MUCH ON THE PANDEMIC, ON

VACCINATIONS, ON MASKS, ON THE

POLITICAL DIVIDE IN AMERICA

THAT -- YOU KNOW LET'S GET OUR

HEAD UP OUT OF THAT AND BLACK

AT WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND THE

WORLD.

IN ANY OTHER NEWS CYCLE THIS

WOULD BE AN

ABSOLUTELYDOMINATING STORY BUT

YOU AREN'T SEEING IT ANYWHERE

ELSE THIS IS AN ACT OF WAR.

THEY ARE FIRING MISSILES AND

KILLER DRONES AGAINST OUR

TROOPS IN IRAQ.

ANY OTHER COUNTRY THAT WOULD --

ANY OTHER TIME IN HISTORY WHERE

A LEADER OF A COUNTRY WOULD

CALL FOR THEA IS NATION OF

ABHIJIT EX PRESIDENT, THAT

WOULD BE FRONT PAGE NEWS IN

EVERY NEWS OUTLET IN THE

NATION.

BE ARE SO DISTRACTED BY OUR OWN

INTERNAL PROBLEMS THAT WE CAN'T

EVEN LOOK AT IT AND CALL IT FOR

WHAT IT IS.

THIS REGIME IN IRAN ABSOLUTELY

WANTS TO DESTROY US.

WHEN THEY SAY THE PHRASE GREAT

SATAN THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT

YOU AND ME.

THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE

UNITED STATES.

ISRAEL IS THE LITTLE SATAN.

WE ARE THE BIG ONE.

WE ARE THE BIG TARGET.

SO, ALL OF THESE NEGOTIATIONS

OVER NUCLEAR ABILITIES, AND ALL

OF THAT, WHY ARE WE NEGOTIATING

WITH THEM?

THEY ARE CALLING FOR US TO BE

KILLED.

THEY ARE SENDING MISSILES AND

DRONES AGAINST OUR TROOPS.

ENOUGH OF THIS.

WE NEED TO COME UP OUT OF

WHATEVER STUPOR WE ARE INTO

WAKE UP TO THE VERY REAL

PRESENT THREAT THAT GOVERNMENT

POSES, NOT JUST TO THE MIDDLE

EAST, NOT JUST TO EUROPE BUT TO

US RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA.

WE NEED TO WAKE UP TO IT AND

CALL IT FOR WHAT IT IS.

> COMING UP, THE NATURE

LOVING NANO TECHNOLOGY.

IF MEET THE BOW HUNTING

SCIENTIST WHO TOOK DOWN A BEAR

WHILE PREGNANT.

HOW SHE FOUND FAITH AND HEALING

WHILE SITTING IN A TREE.

> AND THEN LOOKING FOR

TROUBLE AND THIS RUN AWAY

DIDN'T HAVE TO SEARCH HARD TO

FIND IT.

SEE WHAT SET HIM STRAIGHT LATER

ON TODAY'S SHOW.

> SHE HUNTS WITH A BOW AND

ONCE KILLED A BEAR WHILE

PREGNANT.

JENNIFER IS ALSO A WOMAN WHO

HAS FACED MAJOR HEALTH

CHALLENGES.

SHE SAID THAT GOD HEALED HER

BODY AND SOUL THROUGH HUNTING,

PRAYER, AND HEALTHY EATING.

WENDY GRIFFITH HAS HER UNIQUE

STORY.

BEFORE THE SUNRISES,

JENNIFER CLIMBS IN HER TREE

STAND WITH BOW AND ARROW READY.

PATIENTLY WAITING.

ON THIS QUIET MORNING, JENNIFER

PULL OUT HER BIBLE.

THOUGH SHE LOVES GOING TO

CHURCH WITH HER HUSBAND SHE

SEES THIS TREE STAND AS HER

CHAPEL.

IT'S A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN

GO AND BE ALONE AND REALLY TALK

TO GOD AND NOT JUST TALK TO GOD

BUT TO LOOK OUT AMONG THE

BEAUTY AND THE PEACEFULNESS AND

ONCE I STARTED TO REALLY PRAY

FOR OTHERS IN THE TREE STAND

THAT'S WHEN THINGS STARTED

CHANGING.

SHE SAID FOR YEARS HER

HUSBAND TRIED TO GET HER TO GO

HUNTING WITH HIM BUT SHE HAD NO

INTEREST.

THEN HE BOUGHT HER A BOW.

WE WERE TRYING TO HAVE

CHILDREN.

FOR YEARS WE WERE HAVING

PROBLEMS.

MY HUSBAND KEPT TRYING TO

ENCOURAGE ME.

COME OUT AND HUNT.

THEN FINALLY ONE YEAR HE

BROUGHT HE A PINK BOW.

I WILL TELL YOU I SHOT THAT BOW

AND IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING

FEELING.

THEN HE WANTED ME TO HUNT.

I SAID I HAVE NO INTEREST.

I SAID WHAT WOULD I DO?

I CAN'T TALK TO ANYONE.

CAN'T WEAR HEELS.

IT'S LONELY.

HE SAID JUST COME WITH ME.

TRY IT.

YOU WILL SEE.

SO, HE TOOK ME UP FOR THE FIRST

TIME, GOT ME MY HUNTING GEAR

AND I GOT UP IN THE TREE STAND

AND IT WAS AN AHA MOMENT FOR

THEY.

IT WAS LIFE CHANGING.

IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD

REALLY SLOWED DOWN.

AROUND THE SAME TIME

DOCTORS HIT WE ARE HAD BAD

NEWS.

SHE WOULD NEED SURGERY TO FIX

WHAT'S CALLED A PARALYZED

COLON.

THE OTHER DIAGNOSIS, IT WAS

OFFICIAL, SHE AND CHRIS COULD

NOT HAVE CHILDREN.

WE WENT TO SEE SPECIALISTS

AND IT FINALLY GOT TO A POINT

WHERE THEY HAD SAID, YOU NO HE

IF THINGS DON'T CHANGE WE WOULD

HAVE TO REMOVE PART OF MY

COLON.

THROUGH TESTING SHE FUND

SHE WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH

FIBER OR GLUTEN.

SHE CHANGED HER DIET, FROM

MOSTLY MEAT TO INCLUDE LOOTS OF

WHOLE GRAINS INCLUDING BROWN,

AND WILD RICE.

I HAVE KIND OF THE OPPOSITE

PROBLEM OF CELIAC BUT IT MADE

ME WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT

WHAT THINGS COULD CHANGE.

SHE NO LONGER NEEDED

SURGERY.

SHE FELT COMPELLED TO WHAT SHE

LEARNED IN THE BOOK.

HUNT GATHER, THE HEALING POWER

OF WHOLE GRAINS, LEAN MEAT AND

PRAYER.

WEIGHS FINALLY AT PEACE

WITH NOT HAVING CHILDREN.

I SAID I WILL JUST KEEP WRITING

BOOK AND HAVE FUN WITH IT.

I WANTED TO FOCUS ON THE FIRST

TWO FOODS THAT WERE IN THE

BIBLE.

VENISON AND GRAINS AND THEN TO

BRING EVERYBODY TOGETHER.

THEN A MIRACLE HAPPENED.

AFTER TEN YEARS OF INFERTILITY

THEY CONSIEVED AND CONCEIVED.

IT HEALED ME TO -- IN

ADDITION TO THE POINT IT CURED

TEN YEARS OF INFERTILITY AND

THAT'S HUGE.

E. SHE IS STILL A BIG FAN OF

WILD GAME, ESPECIALLY VENISON.

TO BE HONEST IT TASTES

GREAT.

IF YOU COOK IT RIGHT, IF YOU

KEEP IT COLD, KEEP IT CLEAN,

AND YOU AGE IT RIGHT, THERE IS

NO GAMEY TASTE AND THERE'S NO

FAT.

THIS IS -- THIS IS AS NATURAL

AS IT GETS.

THIS IS FROM FIELD TO FREEZER.

WHILE IN CANADA SHE

ACTUALLY KILLED A BEAR WITH A

BOW AND DONATED THE MEAT TO THE

LOCALS.

I LIKE TO THINK OF MYSELF

AS A WOMAN WHO KILLED A BEAR

WITH A BOW WHILE I WAS PREGNANT

WITH MY DAUGHTER.

I'M A WOMAN CHEMIST WHO KILLED

A BEAR WITH A BOW THAT'S

IMPORTANT TO ME AND IMPORTANT

THAT I GET THIS MESSAGE TO MY

@BECAUSE EVERY ONE OF THOSE

STATEMENT THAT I JUST MADE TO

YOU WERE THING THAT EITHER I

WAS TOLD WEREN'T POSSIBLE OR

THAT I THOUGHT I DIDN'T WANT.

SHE SAID BODY USED HUNTING

TO SAVE HER SOUL.

SITTING THERE IN THE TREE

STAND AND PRAYING AND KNOWING

WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR US.

I NOW -- I FEEL AT PEACE.

I FEEL THAT MY SOUL IS TAKEN

CARE OF.

IF YOU CAN TRUST HIM WITH MY

SOUL I CAN TRUST HIM WITH

ANYTHING.

SHE SAID HER BOOK HUNT AND

GATHER, PART COOKBOOK, PART

TESTIMONY IS HER THANK YOU

LETTER TO GOD AND INCLUDES

DELICIOUS RECIPES FROM HER

POPULAR BUTTER NUT SQUASH SOUP

TO WAYS TO COOK VENISON AND

WHOLE GRAINS.

SHE CAUTIONS THAT WHILE YES GOD

HEALED HER, SHE HAD TO MAKE THE

NECESSARY CHANGES TO HER DIET.

HAVE TO MAKE A COMMITMENT

TO YOURSELF TO BE GOOD TO

YOURSELF.

I THINK THAT IS -- IT CAN BE

DIFFICULT NOW THAT I'M A MOM I

KNOW HOW BUSY PEOPLE ARE AND

IT'S IMPORTANT TO SPEND TIME

WITH YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR

FRIENDS.

YOU HAVE TO MAKE TIME FOR

YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU ARE WORTH

IT.

HEALTHY LIFE.

WE HAD VENISON.

IT'S AMAZING.

> A BIGGER HOUSE.

A LITTLE MORE CASH, A PRETTIER

JAY ALWAYS WANTED WHAT WAS JUST

OUT OF REACH.

WHEN HE COULDN'T GET WHAT WE

WANTED HE WENT FOR ANOTHER

BOTTLE.

WORST THING, ALCOHOLIC AND

ADDICT CAN HAVE IS PLENTY OF

TIME AND MONEY.

WHEN YOU ARE RIDE AROUND ON A

BRAND NEW HARLEY PICKING UP

70,000 DOLLARS CHECKS IT'S REAL

HARD TO ADMIT YOU HAVE A

PROBLEM.

JAY STRUGGLED ALCOHOLISM

AND ADDICTION FOR OVER 30

YEARS.

HE SAID THE CYCLES OF ADDICTION

AND REBELLION STARTED EARLY.

HE WAS RAISED IN A CHRISTIAN

HOME BUT SAW OTHER KIDS HAVING

MORE FUN AND FELT LIKE HE WAS

MISSING OUT.

I SAY I FELL IN WITH THE

WRONG CROWD.

I DIDN'T.

I SEARCHED THEM OUT.

I FOUND THEM.

IMMEDIATELY STARTED, YOU KNOW,

SMOKING MARIJUANA.

I HAD MET A GIRL.

WE STARTED DATING.

WE STARTED CUTTING SCHOOL.

OUR PARENTS BASICALLY FORBID US

TO SEE EACH OTHER.

OUR SOLUTION WAS TO, YOU KNOW

WE WILL JUST RUN AWAY AND DO --

JUST I WANTED TO DO WHAT I

WANTED TO DO.

AWAY FROM HOME HIS

SUBSTANCE ABUSE ESCALATED AND

SO DID HIS CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.

WE STARTED, YOU KNOW,

STEALING, BREAKING IN HOUSES,

TO AFFORD OUR DRUG HABIT AND

HAVE MONEY.

HIS ACTIONS LANDED HIM IN

JUVENILE DETENTION FOR NINE

MONTHS.

HE SOON REALIZED THIS WASN'T

THE LIFE HE WANTED.

I WAS NOT CUT OUT FOR

PRISON.

I DIDN'T WANT SOMEONE TURNING

OFF MY LIGHTS AND THAT -- THAT

WAS NOT WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE ON

TV.

IT IS NOT COOL OR NONE.

I WAS DETERMINED TO DO WHATEVER

I HAD TO DO WHICH MEANT NOT

BREAK THE LAW.

FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS HE

WORKED HARD AND HAD A CAREER AS

A CONTRACTOR.

HE STILL STRUGGLED TO FIND

SATISFACTION.

AS I WAS PURSUING STUFF IT

DIDN'T MAKE ME HAPPY SO I WOULD

SAY I NEED A BIGGER HOUSE.

I NEED A LITTLE MORE LAND.

I NEED A PRETTIER WIFE.

I NEED SOME MORE MONEY.

YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT MY PROBLEM.

THIS IS MY ANSWER.

WHEN I WOULD GET THAT, YOU

KNOW, I WOULD BE HAPPY FOR DAY,

A WEEK OR WHATEVER AND THEN IT

WOULD -- YOU KNOW WHAT NEXT?

DESPITE HIS SUCCESS, JAY

CONTINUED TO FEEL EMPTY.

I DID WHAT I NEEDED TO

DURING THE DAY.

YOU KNOW, BY THREE OR FOUR I

JUST WANTED TO ESCAPE.

I STARTED ABUSING PRESCRIPTION

DRUGS WITH ALCOHOL TO GET ME TO

JUST OBLIVION.

I DIDN'T WANT TO FEEL.

I DIDN'T WANT TO THINK.

I WON'T SAY I WANTED TO DIE BUT

I DIDN'T CARE IF I LIVED.

HE EVENTUALLY HE BECAME

ABUSIVE TOWARD HIS WIFE.

AS THE RELATIONSHIP FELL APART

FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE HE WAS

A CHILD JAY CRIED OUT TO GOD

FOR HELP.

I SAID GET MY ATTENTION.

HELP ME.

HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT IS

WRONG WITH ME AND THEN HELP ME

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

SOON AFTER THAT PRAYER

JAY'S WIFE HAD ENOUGH AND LEFT

HIM.

HE WAS DEVASTATED AND TRIED TO

DRINK THE PAIN AWAY.

JAY SAID THAT'S WHEN GOD

FINALLY GOT HIS ATTENTION.

I DRANK FOR A FEW DAYS, GOT

REALLY DRUNK AND THEN JUST A

VOICE IN MY HEAD WHICH I KNOW

IS GOD, JUST LAID IT UPON MY

HEART AS YOU THINK DRINKING

COULD BE YOUR PROBLEM?

YOU THINK MAYBE YOU ARE

DRINKING TOO MUCH?

I DECIDED I WILL CUT DOWN.

I WILL JUST DRINK A COUPLE

BEERS.

DIFFERENT THAT FOR LIKE A

NIGHT.

A VOICE -- I KNOW IT WAS GOD,

CLEAR AS DAY, SAID YOU ARE NOT

GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO IT LIKE

THAT.

YOU ARE NOT.

YOU WILL FAIL.

YOU WILL GO RIGHT BACK.

IF YOU WANT TO QUIT HAVE YOU TO

DO DID.

I WOKE UP THAT MORNING.

I GOT RID OF ALL THE ALCOHOL IN

THE FRIDGE.

DUMPED ALL THE LIQUOR DOWN THE

SINK.

I SAID I'M DONE.

EVEN THOUGH THE ALCOHOL WAS

GONE THE PAIN WASN'T.

I WAS JUST IN MENTAL

DISTRESS.

I MEAN I FELT LIKE IT WAS

SURREAL.

YOU KNOW NOT DRINKING AND NOT

KNOWING AND THE FEAR AND I

NEEDED SOME CONSOLING AND

SOMETHING SAID TURN ON CBN.

THE LADY WAS PRAYING AND ASK IF

YOU -- IF YOU WANTED TO GIVE

YOUR LIFE BACK TO GOD.

I KNEW THAT WAS MY ONLY CHOICE.

SO, I SAID A PRAYER RIGHT THERE

ON MY LIVING ROOM FLOOR.

I ASKED GOD TO COME IN MY LIFE.

AND HE DID.

I -- YOU KNOW I AIN'T GOING TO

SAY IT WAS IMMEDIATE PEACE AND

COMFORT.

I FELT LIKE I HAD A CHANCE.

AFTER THAT DAY HE NEVER

RETURNED TO HIS OLD LIFESTYLE.

HE STARTED ATTENDING A RECOVERY

PROGRAM WHERE HE GREW IN HIS

FAITH AND UNDERSTANDING OF GOD.

HE LET ME FIND OUT WHAT WAS

WRONG WITH ME AS I WAS A

GODLESS ALCOHOLIC.

HE GAVE ME THE SOLUTION.

HE LED ME TO THE CHURCH AND

THROUGH THAT I GOT A FELLOWSHIP

OF CHRISTIAN PEOPLE THAT ARE

TRYING TO LIVE A DIFFERENT WAY

THAT SUPPORT ME.

THAT I CAN GO TO THAT HAVE

HELPED ME HEAL.

NOW JAY CAN SEE CLEARLY HOW

GOD IS WORKING IN HIS LIFE.

HE IS THE ONLY GOOD IN ME.

IF I'M KIND, LOVING,

THOUGHTFUL, THEN I'M EXPRESSING

GOD.

IF I'M MEAN, HATEFUL, BLAMING,

JUDGING, ARGUING, RETALIATING

THEN THAT'S THE SELFISHNESS.

I'M NOT PORTRAYING GOD IN ME.

TODAY HE SERVES IN HIS

CHURCH AND LEADS A SUPPORT

GROUP AT A LOCAL PRISON.

THE LIFESTYLE I LIVE I

SHOULD BE DEAD.

A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT LIVED IT

ARE.

I'M SO THANKFUL GOD SPOKE TO MY

HEART AND RESCUED ME FROM THE

PRISON OF SELF AND ALCOHOLISM

THAT I WAS IN.

YOU KNOW?

I'M THANKFUL THAT HE SHOWED ME

A DIFFERENT WAY TO LIVE.

AND HE CAN SHOW YOU A

DIFFERENT WAY TO LIVE.

A BETTER WAY TO LIVE.

A WAY THAT LEADS TO LIFE THAT

DISN 'T LEAD TO DESTRUCTION.

THAT DOESN'T LEAD TO YOU

LOOKING IN THE MIRROR GOING WHO

AM I AND WHAT HAVE I BECOME?

YOU CAN BE FREE, YOU CAN HAVE A

LIFE OF PEACE.

YOU CAN HAVE A LIFE OF JOY.

YOU CAN FACIAL FINALLY DISCOVER

YOUR PURPOSE.

WHAT YOU WERE MADE FOR.

WE WERE MADE FOR FELLOWSHIP

WITH HIM.

WHAT DOES HE WANT?

WANTS TO COME DOWN IN THE COOL

OF THE EVENING AND TALK WITH

US.

SHARE LIFE WITH US.

THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS.

WHAT WE WANT IT OUR WAY.

WE WANT TO, YOU KNOW PROVE THAT

SOMEHOW WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE

DOING.

HRE IS JAY AND HE IS STARTING

OUT AS A JUST AS A TEENAGER

SAYING, I HAVE A BETTER WAY AND

IF ARE YOU GOING TO PUT LIMITS

ON ME THEN I'M GOING TO RUN

AWAY AND I WILL DO MY OWN

THING.

THATTENS UP IN JAIL AND THEN HE

SAYS I'M NOT GOING TO VIOLATE

THE LAW ANY MORE.

I WILL DO EVERYTHING LEGALLY.

THEN IT WAS THIS -- END THE

CYCLE OF CONSUMPTION, WHETHER

THAT WAS CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL

OR HOUSES OR LAND.

IF I GET THIS NEW THING THENLY

BE HAPPY.

AND HE FOUND OUT IT DOESN'T

WORK THAT WAY.

IT NEVER LEADS TO CONTENTMENT.

THAT ACQUISITION ONLY LEADS TO

MORE ACQUISITION.

THE HUNGER NEVER GETS FILLED

UP.

IT NEVER GETS SATISFIED.

IT NEVER COMES TO AN END.

HERE IS THE GREAT NEWS.

JESUS CAN FILL EVERY ONE OF

THOSE NEEDS.

HE CAN MAKE YOU NEW GENERAL.

QUESTION GIVE YOU A LIFE OF

RIGHTEOUSNESS.

ISN'T THAT AMAZING?

HE CAN MAKE YOU RIGHTEOUS.

HE IS GIVE YOU PEACE.

HE CAN FILL YOU WITH JOY

UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF GLORY.

THAT IS THE PROMISE OF THE

BIBLE.

THAT IS HIS PROMISE.

HE BACKS UP HIS WORD TO PREFORM

IT.

IF YOU ARE SICK AND TIRED OF

BEING SICK AND TIRED.

COME TO HIM RIGHT NOW.

LET ALL OF THE THINGS THAT YOU

ARE DOING, REALIZE THEY CAN ALL

PASS AWAY AND BEHOLD ALL THINGS

CAN BE MADE NEW IN YOU.

HE HAS THAT KIND OF POWER.

WHAT IS HE WAITING FOR?

HE IS WAITING FOR YOUR

INVITATION.

IS HE WAITING FOR YOU TO ASK

FOR IT.

HE IS WAITING FOR YOU TO

SURRENDER.

WHERE YOU FINALLY SAY NOT MY

WAY, GOT.

LET YOUR WAY.

I WANT TO TRY YOUR WAY.

COULD YOU SHOW ME?

COULD YOU SHOW ME WHAT TO DO.

HOW TO LIVE.

HOW TO ACT.

HOW TO BE WHAT YOU WANT ME TO

BE.

CAN YOU SHOW ME?

YOU CAN LAIR MORE BY VISITING

OB.ORG.

IF YOU HAVE A GOAL OF GET

IN SHAPE OR SPEND LESS OR READ

MORE HOW YOU CAN MAKE A PLAN

AND THEN STICK TO IT?

PASTOR MARK PATTERSON HAS THAT

ANSWER.

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLING

AUTHOR AND PASTOR OF NATIONAL

COMMUNITY CHURCH IN WASHINGTON

DC, MARK PATTERSON HAS INSPIRED

MILLIONS WITH HIS TEACHING.

IN HIS LATEST BOOK, DO IT FOR A

DAY, PATTERSON HELPS US CHANGE

OUR DESTINY BY SHOWING US HOW

TO MAKE OR BREAK ANY HABIT, ONE

STEP AT A TIME.

YOU RUN A MARATHON.

ONE MILE AT A TIME.

YOU WRITE A BOOK FUN PAGE AT A

TIME.

ALL OF THAT YOU DO IT ONE DAY

AT A TIME.

READY OR NOT, HERE WE GO.

PASTOR PETITIONER SON JOINS

US NOW.

WE WELCOME YOU BACK TO THE

PROGRAM ON SK WHY, PE.

IT IS GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US.

IT'S ALWAYS A JOY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THIS BOOK DO IT FOR A DAY

MAKES A PRETTY BOLD PROMISE.

MAKE OR BREAK ANY HABIT IN 30

DAYS.

WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARD

DOING THAT?

WELL YOU HAVE TO PICK A

HABIT.

ANY HABIT AND THEN HAVE YOU TO

MAKE IT MEASURABLE, MEANINGFUL,

MAINTAINABLE BUT HAVE YOU TO

IDENTITY.

HAVE YOU TO BE REALLY SPECIFIC

ABOUT IT.

YOU JUST MENTIONED

MEASURING AND MAINTAINING,

THERE ARE THREE M'S THAT YOU

DISCUSS THAT WE NEED TO PUT

INTO PRACTICE.

GO INTO THAT A LITTLE BIT FOR

US.

YEAH.

ABSOLUTELY.

THE MEASURABLE PIECE IS YOU

HAVE TO COUNT CALORIES.

HAVE YOU TO MAP MILES.

IF IT'S NOT MEASURABLE IT'S

REALLY A HOPE, NOT A HABIT.

SO THAT IS THE FIRST STEP.

THEN I THINK THAT IT'S GOT TO

BE MEANINGFUL.

IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT IT

ALMOST HAS TO BECOME PART OF

YOUR IDENTITY.

YOU KNOW A FEW YEARS AGO I RAN

A MARATHON AND I DID IT TO

CELEBRATE GOD HEALING MY LUNGS

AND I SHARE THAT STORY IN THE

BOOK THAT, YOU KNOW, PART OF

WHAT MAKES SOMETHING MEANINGFUL

IS YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT ON AS AN

IDENTITY.

I'M NOT JUST RUNNING.

I'M A RUNNER.

I'M A WRITER.

HAVE YOU TO BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND

THAT THIS IS WHO YOU ARE AND

NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT YOU DO

AND THEN FINALLY YOU HAVE TO

MAKE IT MAINTAINABLE.

HAVE YOU TO TAKE THE GOD SIZED

GOALS AND REVERSE ENGINEER THEM

INTO DAILY HABITS AND THEN YOU

HAVE TO DO IT ONE DAY AT A

TIME.

YOU ALSO WRITE ABOUT THE

DOMINO EFFECT AND WHAT THAT CAN

TEACH US ABOUT MAKING OR

BREAKING A HABIT.

YEAH.

THIS IS A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

FOR SOMEONE.

DON'T DESPISE THE DAY OF SMALL

BEGINNINGS A DOMINO IS ABLE TO

KNOCK OVER ANOTHER THAT'S ONE

AND A HALF TIMES ITS SIZE.

IN OTHER WORDS A TWO INCH

DOMINO CAN KNOCK OVER A THREE

INCH, THAT CAN KNOCK OVER A

FOUR AND A HALF INCH.

BY THE TIME YOU GET TO THAT

18th ONE YOU CAN KNOCK OVER THE

LEANING TOWER OF PISA.

THE IDEA HERE IS YOU HAVE TO

START SMALL.

I REALLY BELIEVE IF YOU DO

LITTLE THINGS LIKE THEY ARE BIG

THINGS, GOD HAS A WAY OF DOING

BIG THINGS LIKE THEY ARE LITTLE

THINGS.

SO, GO HEAD AND DREAM BING.

IN FACT SHOW ME THE SIZE OF

YOUR DREAM AND I WILL SHOW YOU

THE SIZE OF YOUR GOD.

YOU HAVE TO START SMALL.

SO DON'T BE AFRAID OF DOING

THAT.

EVERY BOOK YOU WRITE ONE WORD

AT A TIME.

A MARATHON ONE MILE AT A TIME.

WHATEVER IT IS, START SMALL.

STAY CONSISTENT, AND THE BOOK

IS REALLY DESIGNED TO HELP US

DO THAT OVER A 30 DAY PERIOD.

DO YOU THINK ONE OF THE

THINGS THAT CAUSES MOST PEOPLE

TO MAYBE FALL SHORT OF THE MARK

THEY SET FOR THEMSELVES,

ESPECIALLY AT THE BEGINNING OF

THE NEW YEAR IS THAT THEY DON'T

ACTUALLY HAVE A PLAN?

THEY HAVE A HOPE, THEY HAVE A

WISH, BUT THAT DOESN'T GET YOU

VERY FAR.

YOU WIND UP FALLING BACK INTO

OUR OLD HABITSS.

THAT'S BIGGEST ISSUE?

YEAH.

I THINK THAT -- FAILING TO PLAN

IS PLANNING TO FAIL.

SO, WHEN I RAN THAT MARATHON I

NEEDED A TRAINING PLAN.

IT TOOK SIX MONTHS.

IT WAS 72 TRAINING RUNS.

475 MILES.

HERE IS ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE.

A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO I -- A

PASTOR WHO CHALLENGED ME WITH

SOMETHING HE SAID.

HE SAID EVERYBODY DOCTOR EVERY

CHRISTIAN WORTH THEIR SALT

READS THE BIKE PHYSICAL COVER

TO COVER EVERY YEAR.

I WAS A LITTLE BIT CONVICTED AT

FIRST.

THEN I REALIZED YOU KNOW WHAT?

I NEED A READING PLAN.

SO, A DAILY BIBLE READING PLAN

WOULD BE A GREAT EXAMPLE OF YOU

CAN READ THROUGH THE NEW HE

TESTAME IN, T THROUGH THE BIBLE

BUT IT REALLY IS GOING TO TAKE

A PLAN.

INSTEAD OF THAT OLD OPEN THE

BIBLE, POINT AND JUST START

WHEREVER YOU ARE AT.

I THINK WE NEED IT BE A LITTLE

MORIN TENSION ROLL ABOUT

GETTING IN TO GOD'S WORD AND

GETTING GOD'S WORD INTO US.

SO YOU NEED TO PLAN THE WORK

AND WORK THE PLAN.

YOU REFER TO THE SERMON ON

THE MOUNT AS A MASTER CLASS

OPEN THE HABIT CYCLE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

YEAH.

SIX TIMES JESUS SAID YOU HAVE

HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID BUT I

TELL YOU.

SO, I WOULD CALL THESE COUNTER

HABITS.

SOME WOULD CALL THEM THE ANTI

THE IS IS BUT IT BOILS ONE TO

LOVE YOUR ENEMIES PRAY FOR

THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU, BLESS

THOSE WHO CURSE YOU, TURN THE

OTHER CHEEK, GO THE EXTRA MILER

AND GIVE THE SHIFT OFF YOUR

BACK.

TERRY, NOTHING NATURAL ABOUT

THOSE THINGS, WHEN SOMEONE

SLAPS ME I WANT TO SLAP BACK.

WHAT IS JESUS DOING HERE?

HE IS IDENTIFYING THE TRIGGERS.

HE IS IDENTIFYING THE PROMPT.

HE IS INTERRUPTING THE PATTERN

AND THEN HE IS REIMAGINING THE

REWARD AND SO IT'S ALMOST LIKE

HE IS RECREATING OR

RECONCONDITIONING REFLEX.

I MAY SUGGEST THAT BEFORE BF

SKINNER CAME ALONG AND TOLD US

ABOUT THIS -- THIS HABIT CYCLE.

MAYBE JUST MAYBE JESUS KNEW

SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

IN FACT I THINK THAT HE SUE IT

RIGHT THERE IN THE SERMON ON

THE MOUNT.

ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS

THAT YOU STRESS IS TO GET OFF

THE GRID.

HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO RETREAT

AND WHAT ARE SOME WAYS WE CAN

DO THAT?

YEAH.

I THINK THAT -- I LIVE BY A

LITTLE FORMULA CHANGE OF PACE,

PLUS CHANGE OF PLACE EQUALS

CHANGE OF PERSPECTIVE.

IT'S AMAZING ISN'T IT?

THE WAY THAT JESUS WOULD GET

OFF THE GRID.

HE WOULD RETREAT 40 DAYS IN THE

WILDERNESS.

HE WOULD OFTEN WALK THE BEACH

OR CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN.

WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WITH ALL

OF THE WHITE NOISE IN CULTURE,

HERE IS AN IDEA, DO A SILENT

RETREAT OR MY WIFE AND I OFTEN,

DAY OFF PHONE OFF.

SO, FINDING WAYS TO MIX THINGS

UP.

ROUTINE IS THE KEY TO SPIRITUAL

GROWTH.

ONCE IT BECOMES ROUTINE HAVE

YOU TO CHANGE THE ROUTINE.

SO, I DIVE INTO SOME OF THAT IN

THE BOOK AND HOPEFULLY GIVE

SOME HELPFUL WAYS THAT WE CAN

DO THAT.

WELL, I WANT ALL OF YOU WHO

ARE WATCHING TO KNOW YOU CAN

GET MORE GREAT TIPS BY READING

MARK'S BRAND NEW BOOK.

IT IS CALLED DO FOR A DAY.

HOW TO MAKE OR BREAK ANY HABIT

IN 30 DAYS AND IT'S AVAILABLE

NATIONWIDE.

MARK AS ALWAYS THANK YOU SO

MUCH.

YOU ALWAYS BRING A GREAT WORD.

THANK YOU.

GOD BLESS.

YOU TOO.

> UP NEXT DOWN TO THEIR LAST

# DOLLARS THIS FAMILY'S

FINANCING WERE A HOT MESS.

THEY COULDN'T PAY THEIR BILLS.

THEIR HOME WAS IN FORECLOSURE.

SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT

BREAKTHROUGH BAILED THEM OUT UP

NEXT.

NO THEY WERE DOWN TO THEIR LAST

$2.

SOON THEY HAD TO FILE FOR

BANKRUPTCY.

THEN AT THEIR LOWEST POINT,

THEY DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING

COUNTER INTUITIVE THIS IS HOW

IT LED TO A TOTAL TURN AROUND.

WHEN THEY MOVE FROM FLORIDA TO

VIRGINIA FOR A NEW JOB THEY HAD

NOTHING BUT HIGH HOPES FOR

THEIR FUTURE.

WE WERE READY FOR A NEW

CHANGE FOR YOUR FAMILY.

WE WERE LEAVING BEHIND MANY

FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS.

IT WAS EXCITING TIME.

THE COUPLE RENTED A HOUSE

WHILE THEY PUT THEIR OLD HOME

ON THE MARKET.

UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS 2007 AND

THE HOUSING MARKET WAS SLOWING

DOWN.

NOW THEY HAD TO PAY FOR A

MARBLE AND THEIR RENT.

YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS BE TWO

STEPS IN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

WHAT YOU WILL DO.

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PEACE IN

IT WHEN YOU ARE JUST DEPENDING

ON YOURSELF.

IN A SHORT TIME HER INCOME

WANED.

AS THE BILLS MOUNTED THEY TOOK

OUT LOANS AND MAXED OUT CREDIT

CARDS JUDGIST TO MEET EXPENSES.

I BOUT THINGS WHEN I KNEW

THAT I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO

PAY BACK THE CREDIT CARDS.

WE STARTED USING LOANS TO PAY

THE BILLS ON THE HOUSE IN

FLORIDA.

THINGS REALLY WERE JUST GETTING

OUT OF CONTROL.

AT ONE POINT THEY WERE DOWN

TO THEIR LAST $2.

WE JUST COULDN'T PAY

ANYTHING ANYMORE IT.

WAS SCARY BECAUSE WE DIDN'T

KNOW WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO.

THEY DROPPED THE ASKING

PRICE FOR THEIR HOME TO HALF OF

WHAT THEY OWED.

IT STILL WOULDN'T SELL.

SOON THEIR HOUSE WAS IN

FORECLOSURE AND BEFORE LONG

THEY HAD TO FILE FOR

BANKRUPTCY.

YOU HAVE NOTHING AND YOU

NEED THAT MONKEY OFF YOUR BACK.

THAT WAS THE ABSOLUTE -- THAT

WAS THE VERY LOW POINT FOR

SURE.

THEY KNEW THEY COULDN'T GET

OUT OF THEIR FINANCIAL MESS

THEMSELVES.

THEY PRAYED TO GOD AND DECIDED

TO TITHE.

WE READED WE NEEDED TO BE

OBEDIENT TO GOD.

WE DIDN'T HAVE THING.

WE STILL TITHED.

THEY ALSO STARTED SELLING

THEIR PERSONAL BELONGINGS.

THEY CONTINUED TO TRUST GOD TO

PROVIDE AND THEN THEY FINALLY

SAW THE TURN AROUND THEY HAD

BEEN PRAYING FOR.

THE JOBS JUST STARTING

COMING IN.

EVERYTHING JUST STARTED TAKING

OFF.

WE KNEW THAT IT WAS GOD THAT

PROVIDED FOR US AT THAT MOMENT.

IT WAS AMAZING TO HAVE EXTRA

MONEY.

MORE CLIENTS, MORE SALES,

IT'S A MIRACLE.

IT'S GREAT.

I WASN'T RUSHING TO GET TO THE

BANK TO PAY THE BILLS.

YOU KNOW THEY WERE PAID.

THEY WERE ABLE TO SAVE

AGAIN AND THEY INCREASED THEIR

GIVING.

CLAUDIA ALSO STARTED WATCHING

THE 700 CLUB AND THEY BECAME

PARTNERS.

I LIKED EVERYTHING THAT CBN

DID.

DISASTER RELIEF, SURGERIES FOR

KIDS.

THEY SEEMED TO JUST BE ALL OVER

THE PLACE.

HELPING PEOPLE.

AND I WANTED TO BE A PART OF

THAT.

TODAY THEY REBUILT THEIR

CREDIT AND HAVE SINCE BOUGHT A

NEW HOME.

THEIR INCOME HAS DOUBLED ASK

THEY CURRENTLY GAVE AT THE

FOUNDER'S LEVEL.

THEY ARE LOVE TO GIVE AND LOVE

THE JOY OF BEING OBEDIENT TO

GOD.

IF ARE YOU JUST WALKING IN

FAITH AND GIVING YOUR TITHE HE

WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.

HE ABSOLUTELY WILL TAKE

CARE OF YOU.

THAT'S THE PROMISE IN THE

BIBLE.

YOU FIND IN THE FIRST CHAPTER

-- IF YOU WILL ONLY OBEY ME AND

LET ME HELP YOU.

THEN YOU WILL HAVE PLENTY.

THAT WONDERFUL COUPLE LEARNED

THAT AND THEY SAY ET CETERA TRY

BEING OBEDIENCE.

LET'S DO IT GOD'S WAY.

WONDERFUL THINGS WILL HAPPEN.

HE IS ABLE TO MAKE STREAMS IN

THE DESERT FOR YOU.

HE CAN DO ALL THINGS.

WHEN HE SAYS I WILL POUR OUT A

BLESSING YOU CANNOT CONTAIN HE

MEANS IT.

WANT TO START TITHING, YOU WANT

> WE HAVE SOME TIME FOR SOME

WE DO.

THE FIRST ONE COMES CASEY

WHO SAYS, I DO LOVE YOUR TV

SHOW.

MY LIFE HAD BEEN GOING GREAT

UNTIL LAST AUGUST.

I NORMALLY WALK TWO TO THROW

MILES A DAY.

THE LAST 90 DAYS I HAVE BECOME

HALF PARALYZED WITH A DIAGNOSIS

OF ALS.

WHY DID GOD PULL THE CARPET OUT

FROM UNDER ME?

PLEASE TELL ME THIS.

I'M SO SORRY FOR THIS.

I'M SO SORRY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS.

HERE IS SOMETHING FOR YOU.

DON'T BLAME GOD FOR IT.

GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF YOUR

DISEASE.

HE IS THE AUTHOR OF YOUR

HEALING.

SO TURN THIS WHOLE THING

AROUND.

WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?

YOU CAN GET INTO A LOT OF WHYS

AND WHERES AND YOU KNOW WHAT IS

GOING ON AND BOY THE MORE YOU

GET INTO GOD YOU ARE JUST NOT

RUNNING THE UNIVERSE RIGHT

TODAY, THE MORE YOU ARE MISSING

OUT.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ THE 9th

CHAPTER OF THE GOSPEL OF JOHN.

IN THERE THE DISCIPL ERIC S OF

JESUS, THEY AREN'T UNBELIEVERS,

THESE AREN'T PEOPLE TRYING TO

TRIP HIM UP.

THESE ARE THE DISCIPLES COMING

TO HIM WITH A QUESTION BECAUSE

THEY HAVE READ THE TORAH AND

THEY KNOW THAT GOD -- YOU FLOW

IF YOU ARE NOT OBEDIE IN, T TO

TORAH LAW, IF YOU SIN THEN

DISEASES CAN COME UPON YOU.

THEY BRING TO HIM A MAN BORN

BLIND AND THEY HAVE A QUESTION.

WHO SINNED?

WAS IT HIM OR HIS PARENTS?

IN THAT QUESTION THERE IS A

JUSTICE.

THIS ISN'T JUST.

IF IT'S HIS PARENTS WHY IS IT

JUST THAT THE PUNISHMENT BE

VISITED ON THE SON?

IF HE SINNED HE HASN'T HAD AN

OPPORTUNITY TO SIN?

WHY IS HE BORN BLIND?

JUST DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO THEM.

I LOVE THE ANSWER JESUS

FAVORITE.

LET IT BE YOUR ANSWER.

THIS HAPPENED THAT THE GLORY OF

THE LORD WOULD BE REVEALED.

WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO US,

IT'S VERY NATURAL AND VERY

HUMAN TO START BLAMING CERTAIN

THINGS.

HIS FRIENDS WENT AT IT AND SAID

YOU HAVE TO COBB FESS YOUR SIN

AND HE SAID NO I WAS RIGHTEOUS

AND TOWING EVERYTHING RIGHT.

WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THESE

THINGS HAPPEN SOT GLORY OF THE

LORD WOULD BE REVEALED.

JESUS PROMISED IN THIS WORLD WE

WOULD HAVE TROUBLE.

SO OKAY.

BE OF GOOD CHEER FOR I HAVE

OVERCOME THE WORLD.

LET HIM OVERCOME THROUGH THIS.

KEEP LOOKING FOR HOW HIS GLORY

CAN BE REVEALED IN YOU.

WHEN YOU HAVE THAT THOUGHT YOU

HAVE THE VICTORY EVEN FROM THE

MOMENT THAT YOU THINK IT.

HERE IS A WORD FROM THE BIBLE.

THE LORD HIMSELF GOES BEFORE

YOU AND WILL BE WITH YOU.

HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FOR

SAKE YOU.

GOD BLESS YOU.

WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN ON
