THE SPIRITUAL, GET BIBLICAL

> WELCOME TO THIS SPECIAL
EDITION OF "THE 700 CLUB".
I AM SO GLAD TO SEE ALL OF YOU
TODAY AND THANK YOU FOR BEING
WITH US.
ALL ACROSS AMERICA, YOU CALLED
AND LEFT YOUR VOICEMAIL
QUESTIONS.
TODAY WE WILL HEAR YOUR VOICES
ON THE AIR.
WE WILL GET ANSWERS TO YOUR
QUESTIONS COMING UP.
> FIRST, SCRAP THE SENATE
FILIBUSTER?
THAT IS WHAT A DESPERATE JOE
BIDEN IS PUSHING TO GET HIS
FEDERAL VOTING RIGHTS BILL
PASSED.
HE CAN'T EVEN GET HIS OWN PARTY
ON BOARD, INCLUDING THE DEMOCRAT
's CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF
GEORGIA.
SHE DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO BE
WITH HIM AT A MEETING!
REPUBLICANS ARE SAYING THAT
WILL BREAK THE SENATE.
CHARLENE AARON EXPLAINS.
Reporter: IN A SPEECH ON THE
GROUNDS OF MOREHOUSE COLLEGE IN
ATLANTA, THE PRESIDENT INVOKED
THE CIVIL RIGHTS BATTLES OF THE
1960s, CHALLENGING SENATORS TO
STAND AGAINST WHAT HE CALLS
VOTER SUSPICION.
PASS THE FREEDOM TO VOTE ACT!
PASS IT NOW.
Reporter: THAT FIRED UP
PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS IN GEORGIA
TUESDAY, PUSHING FOR VOTING
REFORM, GOING SO FAR AS TO CALL
FOR A CHANGE IN THE SENATE
RULES REGARDING THE FILIBUSTER.
I BELIEVE THE THREAT TO OUR
DEMOCRACY IS SO GRAVE, WE MUST
FIND A WAY TO PASS THESE VOTING
RIGHTS BILLS, DEBATE THEM.
VOTE.
LET THE MAJORITY PREVAIL!
IF THAT BARE MINIMUM IS BLOCKED
, WE HAVE NO OPTION BUT TO
CHANGE THE SENATE RULES,
INCLUDING GETTING RID OF THE
FILIBUSTER FOR THIS!
Reporter: THE PUSH IS SEEN
BY SOME AS AN EFFORT TO PASS
MEANINGFUL LEGISLATION AT HIS
AFTER HIS MULTITRILLION DOLLAR
SPENDING PLAN SUFFERED A
SETBACK BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
JULIA MANCHESTER TOLD CBN'S
FAITH NATION PROGRAM --
AFTER BUILD BACK BETTER WAS
ESSENTIALLY STALLED BY JOE
MANCHIN LATE LAST YEAR, WE SAW
DEMOCRATS IMMEDIATELY PIVOT
TOWARD VOTING LIGHTS.
THEY WANT TO PASS A LANDMARK
PIECE OF LEGISLATION BEFORE THE
MIDTERMS.
Reporter: SOME VOTING RIGHTS
PROPONENTS ARE SO SKEPTICAL
THAT THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR
THE SPEECH, INCLUDING GEORGIA
DEMOCRATIC GUBERNATORIAL
CANDIDATE STACEY ABRAMS.
PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID TODAY
IT WAS A SCHEDULING CONFLICT.
IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THERE
@COULD BE A SCHEDULING CONFLICT
WHEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES IS TAKING A VISIT
TO THE BIGGEST CITY IN THE
STATE YOU ARE RUNNING FOR
GOVERNOR FOR. BUT I THINK THAT
REALLY TELLS THE STORY.
Reporter: THE PRESIDENT
MAINTAINS THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT
IS NECESSARY TO COUNTER CHANGES
IN VOTING ROLLS IN 19 STATES,
INCLUDING GEORGIA, THAT
DEMOCRATS CONTEND RESTRICT
MINORITY VOTERS.
REPUBLICANS SAY IT AIMS TO
CREATE NATIONALIZED ELECTIONS.
THE BILL HAS NO CHANCE OF
GETTING THE 60 VOTES NEEDED TO
OVERCOME A GOP FILIBUSTER IN
THE EVENLY DENIED DIVIDED
SENATE.
THE PRESIDENT SAID HE WOULD
SUPPORT A ONE-TIME CHANGE IN THE
FILIBUSTER RULE.
SENATE MINORITY LEADERS SAY
THAT WILL BREAK THE SENATE.
HE IS TRYING TO BULLY HIS
OWN MEMBERS INTO BREAKING THEIR
OWN WORD AND BREAKING THE
SENATE.
Reporter: SOME SENATE
DEMOCRATS ARE NOT READY TO BACK
THE PLAN.
WEST VIRGINIA'S JOE MANCHIN AN
ARIZONA'S KYRSTEN SINEMA ARE
NOT ON BOARD.
WE NEED CHANGES AND GETTING
RID OF THE FILIBUSTER DOESN'T
MAKE IT WORK BETTER.
Reporter: MEANWHILE,
CONTROVERSIAL LAW ALLOWING
NONCITIZENS TO VOTE WHEN INTO
EFFECT IN NEW YORK CITY THIS
WEEK.
WILEY DOES NOT APPLY TO STATE
AND NATIONAL ELECTIONS, THE
DEMOCRATIC CITY COUNCIL AND
DEMOCRAT MAYOR SUPPORT THE LAW,
GIVING 800,000 NONCITIZENS THE
RIGHT TO CAST BALLOTS IN LOCAL
ELECTIONS.
CHARLENE AARON, CBN NEWS.
> WE HAVE 50 STATES, 50 OF
THEM.
THE LAW THAT IS SET UP BY THE
FOUNDING FATHERS GAVE THE
ELECTION TO EACH OF THOSE STATES
. THAT IS WHERE THE ELECTIONS
TAKE PLACE.
IF IT IS ALL FEDERALIZED, THAT
MEANS THEY WILL DO AWAY WITH
ALL THE STATE LAWS AND IT WOULD
MEAN THE REALITY OF HAVING A
HUGE BALLOTS HARVESTING, OF
HAVING NONREGISTERED PEOPLE
VOTING, THAT WILL BE A
NIGHTMARE.
IT WILL BE A TAKEOVER, OF
@IT IS NOT A VOTING RIGHTS, IT
IS AN OVERTURNING OF OUR
CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.
I THINK ANYBODY WITH ANY SENSE
WOULD SAY COME ON, JOE, STOP
LYING.
UP NEXT, YOU CALLED AND PAT
IS ABOUT TO ANSWER YOUR
VOICEMAIL QUESTIONS.
BRENDA FROM TEXAS AND ED FROM
PENNSYLVANIA, YOU ARE UP FIRST.
ROUND ONE BEGINS AFTER THIS.
> WELCOME BACK TO THIS
EDITION OF "THE 700 CLUB".
WE HAVE YOUR VOICEMAIL
QUESTIONED.
WE HAVE PAT HERE IN THE FLESH
TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS.
WE START WITH BRENDA FROM
LUBBOCK, TEXAS.
HELLO, BRENDA.
YES, MY NAME IS BRENDA.
I AM CALLING FROM LUBBOCK,
TEXAS.
MY QUESTION IS, WHEN JESUS
TAUGHT US TO PRAY, WHY DID HE
SAY, DON'T LEAD US INTO
TEMPTATION?
THAT'S NOT SOMETHING I WOULD
EXPECT FROM GOD.
BRENDA, THERE IS A VERSE
WHERE IT SAYS, DON'T LET US BE
SIFTED.
I THINK THAT IS WHAT HE IS
SAYING.
DON'T PUT US IN A POSITION
WHERE WE WILL BE SIFTED.
HE IS NOT SAYING DON'T LEAVE --
LEAD US INTO TEMPTATION, HE
WOULD NEVER LEAD US TO
TEMPTATION.
DON'T LEAD US IN THEY POSITION
WHERE WE WILL BE SIFTED.
I PRAY THAT YOUR FAITH WILL
STAND, THAT IS WHAT HE IS
TALKING ABOUT.
AMEN.
I ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW THAT
ANSWER, AS WELL.
THANK YOU, PAT.
ALL RIGHT.
ED FROM TELFORD, PENNSLYVANIA
HAS THIS QUESTION FOR PAT.
BARRY QUICK, MY QUESTION IS,
DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO PRAY OUT
LOUD, OR IS IT OKAY TO PRAY
INSIDE YOUR HEAD, IN YOUR MIND,
WITHOUT PRAYING OUT LOUD?
I WILL TELL YOU A LOT OF US
PRAY SILENTLY.
I KNOW I HAVE DONE A LOT OF
PRAYING.
THE BIBLE SAYS PRAY BUT THERE
ARE TIMES YOU NEED TO
VERBALIZE.
IF YOU SAY TO THAT MOUNTAIN, BE
REMOVED. IF YOU CAST THE DEMON
OR IF YOU SPEAK TO THE DEMON
AND TELL THEM TO LEAVE, THERE
ARE TIMES YOU SPEAK TO
DISEASES.
IT IS A QUESTION OF, YOU KNOW,
YOU HEAR FROM THE LORD QUIETLY.
YOU VERBALIZE WHAT HE HAS TOLD
YOU, BUT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING WRONG WITH PRAYING IN
YOUR MIND.
I DO IT ALL THE TIME.
THAT IS PART OF LIFE.
AMEN.
GOOD ANSWER.
JOANNA FROM OAKVILLE, ONTARIO
HAS THIS QUESTION.
GO AHEAD.
WHAT DID THE LORD SHOW YOU
@AND SPECIFICALLY, THE BODY OF
CHRIST?
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
JOANNA, I BELIEVE THE LORD
SHOWED ME WE WILL HAVE A
FINANCIAL COLLAPSE, THERE WILL
BE A TIME WHERE THE FINANCIAL
AUTHORITIES IN THE WORLD CAN'T
MEET THE DEBT OBLIGATIONS THEY
ARE INCURRING.
I THINK THAT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN.
THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER
THINGS, I HAVE SEEN THE LORD
LAY IT OUT CLEARLY, ONE, TWO,
THREE, FOUR, HERE IS WHAT WILL
HAPPEN.
FIRST OF ALL, CHRISTIANS AROUND
THE WORLD ARE GOING TO BE HATED
OF ALL NATIONS.
THAT IS WHAT THE LORD SAYS, YOU
WILL BE HATED OF ALL NATIONS.
I THINK WE ARE SEEING PUSHES
AGAINST CHRISTIANS THAT HAS
REACHED AN ACCELERATED LEVEL.
THIS COUNTRY IS GETTING MORE
AND MORE DIFFICULT TO STAND FOR
CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES.
IF YOU BELIEVE IN CERTAIN
THINGS, THEY SAY YOU ARE A
RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC, XENOPHOBIC,
THEY HAVE ALL THESE NAMES FOR
ITS.
I DO BELIEVE THAT IS WHAT IS
GOING TO HAPPEN.
THEN HE SAYS, YOU KNOW, YOU PRAY
AND THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM
WILL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE
WORLD FOR WITNESS.
THEN YOU GO DOWN THE LINE.
READ MATTHEW 25.
IT IS ONLY THAT ONE, TWO,
THREE, FOUR.
HOW SHOULD BELIEVERS PREPARE
FOR A FINANCIAL COLLAPSE?
GET OUT OF DEBT?
IF YOU HAVE DEBT, YOU WILL
BE FORECLOSED ON AND LOOSE
POSSESSIONS.
IF YOU ARE NOT DEALING WITH
OBLIGATIONS, WHERE YOUR
PROPERTY WILL BE TAKEN AWAY
FROM YOU, YOU ARE BETTER OFF
BEING OUT OF DEBT, BUT, YOU
KNOW, MOST PEOPLE HAVE
MORTGAGES.
IT IS VERY DIFFICULT.
IF YOU CAN LIVE DEBT-FREE, YOU
ARE BETTER OFF.
THANKS, PAT.
THE BORROWER IS A SERVANT.
PATRICIA FROM SAN DIEGO,
CALIFORNIA.
I AM CALLING TO ASK, WHO
WROTE THE BOOK OF HEBREWS?
WAS IT PAUL?
IT IS THOUGHT THAT HE DID
BUT WE ARE NOT SURE BECAUSE IT
DOESN'T HAVE ALL OF THE
LETTERS.
IT COULD BE PAUL BUT WE ARE NOT
SURE WHO WROTE IT, TO TELL YOU
THE TRUTH.
THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.
MANY PEOPLE THINK IT WAS PAUL
BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HIS
WRITING.
I ALWAYS LOOK AT IT AS THE
FAITH CHAPTER.
WHO WROTE IT?
WHO WROTE IT?
THERE WAS SOMEBODY WHO
OBVIOUSLY HAD A TREMENDOUS
KNOWLEDGE OF THE HISTORY OF
ISRAEL, THE HEBREW PEOPLE AND
THE LAW AND SO FORTH.
A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK IT WAS
PAUL BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.
HERE IS PAUL FROM ROCKFORD,
ILLINOIS, MY OLD STOMPING
GROUND.
GO AHEAD, PAUL.
MY QUESTION IS, HOW CAN BE
ASSURED OF MY SALVATION?
THE SPIRIT BEARS WITNESS
WIT OUR SPIRIT THAT WE ARE
CHILDREN OF GOD.
YOU KNOW, HOW CAN YOU KNOW YOU
ARE ASSURED OF GOD'S SALVATION?
MORE THAN ANYTHING, BY THIS,
YOU CAN KNOW THAT YOU ARE SONS
OF GOD THAT YOU HAVE LOVE FOR
THE BRETHREN.
IF YOU LOVE GOD'S PEOPLE, YOU
KNOW, THE SPIRIT OF GOD LIVES
WITHIN YOU, SO THERE ARE MANY
MANY TESTIMONIES BUT MORE THAN
ANYTHING, THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL
WITNESS TO YOUR SPIRIT THAT YOU
ARE A CHILD OF GOD.
THE BIGGEST THING IS IN YOUR
OWN LIFE, DO YOU LOVE THE LORD?
DO YOU LOVE OTHER PEOPLE?
ARE YOU LIVING FOR HIM?
IF YOU ARE NOT, IF YOU ARE IN A
PLACE OF SIN THAT YOU ARE
COMMITTING ACTS OF SIN THAT YOU
KNOW IS SIN, YOU ARE NOT GOING
TO HAVE ANY ASSURANCE OF
ANYTHING.
THAT IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO
TELL YOU.
IF YOU ARE WALKING IN THE
LIGHT, AS HE IS INDEED LIKE,
WHEN YOU HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH
ONE ANOTHER AND THE BROTHER AND
OF JESUS CHRIST CONTINUOUSLY
CLEANSES US FROM SIN.
HERE IS NELLIE WITH THIS
QUESTION FROM TAMPA, FLORIDA
FOR PAT.
I AM 93 YEARS OLD.
I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT
THE PART OF THE BIBLE WHERE GOD
WRESTLED WITH THE MAN ALL
NIGHT.
COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO ME,
PLEASE?
GOD BLESS YOU, NELLIE.
I THINK IT WAS AN ANGEL.
JACOB WRESTLES AND IT WAS AN
ANGEL HE WAS WITH.
HE PREVAILED AND THE ANGEL
TOUCHED HIS HIP AND SO HE CAME
OUT OF THAT.
HE WON THE ENCOUNTER, BUT HE
CAME OUT OF IT LIMPING, WHICH
MEAN HE WON AND NOW CALLED
ISRAEL, PRINCE OF GOD . HE WAS
AN ANGEL HE WAS WRESTLING WITH.
HE WON.
HE CAME OUT OF THERE LIMPING.
ALL RIGHT, AMEN.
THIS IS DONNA WITH THIS
QUESTION.
SHE IS FROM ASBURY, NEW JERSEY.
MY QUESTION IS, WHERE ARE
THE SPIRITS OF ALL THE PEOPLE
WHO DIED BEFORE JESUS?
I THINK PAUL SAY, DEPART AND
BE WITH THE LORD.
I THINK WHEN YOU DIE, YOUR
SPIRIT WILL BE WITH THE LORD.
YOUR BODY WILL COME BACK AT THE
RESURRECTION.
WE ALSO HAVE A REFERENCE FROM
PETER THAT JESUS PREACHED TO
THE CAPTIVES THAT HAD DIED
BEFORE HIM.
HE MUST HAVE, THE TIME HE WAS
IN THE TOMB HE WAS DEAD, HE
CAME BACK TO LIFE AGAIN.
DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME, HIS
SPIRIT WAS SPEAKING TO THOSE
WHO WERE HELD IN PRISON.
HE MUST HAVE READ THE GOSPEL TO
THEM.
SHERRY FROM "THE 700 CLUB"
MARYSVILLE, WASHINGTON HAS THIS
QUESTION FOR PAT.
MY QUESTION IS, HOW DO YOU
KNOW WHEN SHOULD PRAY AND ASK
GOD FOR SOMETHING VERSUS
COMMANDING SOMETHING TO HAPPEN
OR TO CAST OUT SOMETHING?
YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO
PRAY, THE WAY TO DO IT IS TO
WAIT ON THE LORD.
LORD, WHAT IS YOUR WORD ON THIS
MATTER?
DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE THINGS?
DO YOU WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING
DIFFERENT?
FAITH WILL COME UPON YOU WHEN
YOU SPEAK THE WORD.
I DO THINK IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT, A MAN SHOULD NOT BE
HESITANT TO SPEAK SOMETHING.
YOU WAIT ON THE LORD.
LORD, DO YOU REALLY WANT TO
RAISE THIS PERSON FROM THE
DEAD?
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HEAL THIS
PERSON?
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE PLAN IS?
WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD OF THE
LORD, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I
DECLARE IT.
THAT IS WHERE THE FAITH
COMES FROM.
FAITH COMES FROM HEARING.
THAT IS A GOOD WIN.
ALL RIGHT.
THE NEXT QUESTION IS FROM DAWN,
ALBANY, NEW YORK.
I HAVE A QUESTION.
WHERE IN THE BIBLE DOES IT
ACTUALLY SAY GIVE BACK TO GOD
10%?
THAT IS, THAT IS WHAT JACOB
GAVE TO ISAAC.
ACTUALLY, YOU GO BACK TO ABRAHAM
WHEN HE MET MILK HAS ABOUT.
HE GAVE HIM A TITHE OF WHAT HE
HAD.
THE BIBLE PRESCRIBES TITHING.
TITHE IS 10%.
JACOB, YOU KNOW, MADE A DEAL
WITH GOD.
HE SAID, IF YOU WILL BRING ME
THAT BACK, I WILL GIVE YOU 10%.
YOU GET TO KEEP 90%.
I DO THINK HIS CONCEPT OF
TITHING, YOU TITHE ON THE
INCREASE AND IT IS THROUGHOUT
THE BIBLE.
PAT FROM LOUISVILLE,
KENTUCKY WITH THIS QUESTION.
MY QUESTION IS, WILL WE
PASSOVER, DOES OUR SPIRIT SEE
OUR FUNERAL GOING ON IN OUR
LOVED ONES?
I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE WHO TELL
WITH THEIR BODY THEY HAVE SEEN
THINGS GOING ON.
THE BIBLE IS A VERY CLEAR
WHETHER WE SEE OVER THE FUNERAL
OR NOT.
THE IDEA OF THE SPIRIT STAYING
AROUND FOR A COUPLE DAYS AFTER
DEATH OF THE DEPARTED, YOU KNOW,
THAT WAS THE OLD TESTAMENT
CONCEPT.
I CANNOT GIVE YOU ANY DEBACLE
REFERENCE TO THE FACT THAT WE
WATCH OUR FAMILIES.
I AM NOT TOO ANXIOUS TO WATCH MY
.
LIKE YOU SAY, WE HAVE A LOT
OF ACCOUNTS OF PEOPLE ON THE
OPERATING TABLE WHO ARE
HOVERING.
ABSOLUTELY.
THERE SPIRIT HOVERS.
THEY COME BACK AND THEY TELL
THE DOCTOR WHAT HE SAID.
THAT HAPPENS.
WE HAVE HAD THAT BUT IN
TERMS OF WHEN YOU ARE DEAD, DO
YOU WANT YOUR FUNERAL, I KNOW
OF NO BIBLE THAT CAN BACK THAT
UP.
I WILL ALREADY BE IN HAVE
BEEN.
VINCENT FROM NEW YORK CITY HAS
THIS QUESTION FOR PAT.
PAUL SAYS IN 1 TIMOTHY 2
THAT GOD DESIRES ALL MEN TO BE
SAVED.
HOW DOES THAT SQUARE WITH WHAT
PAUL SAYS IN ROMANS ABOUT
PREDETERMINATION AND THAT SOME
ARE PREDESTINED TO BE SAVED?
THEY ARE IS AN ATTENDING
BETWEEN THE TWO YOU NEED TO
MAINTAIN.
ONE IS FREE WILL.
WORK AT YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH
FEAR AND TREMBLING, FOR GOD
WORKS IN TO YOU HIS WILL AND
GOOD PLEASURE.
GOD WANTS ALL MEN TO BE SAVED
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THEY
DON'T COME TO HIM, THEY WON'T.
YOU HAVE PREDESTINATION AND YOU
HAVE FREE WILL.
GOD DOES NOT TAKE FREE WILL
AWAY FROM US.
WE ALWAYS HAVE IT.
HE SEES, I MEAN, HE SEES THE
END FROM THE BEGINNING.
YOU KNOW, HERE'S THE DEAL.
IF YOU TOOK A PIECE OF FILM,
LIKE A MOVIE, AND WHEN YOU WERE
WATCHING THE MOVIE, IT LOOKS
LIKE THINGS ARE GOING STEP BY
STEP BY STEP BY STEP.
YOU KNOW, ACTION FOLLOWS AND
THEN THE MAN MEETS THE GIRL AND
THEY GO OFF TOGETHER AND THEY
GET MARRIED AND THEY HAVE
CHILDREN.
IT GOES ON THAT WAY.
IF YOU TOOK THE FILM AND YOU
COULD SEE EVERYTHING, YOU COULD
SEE THE ENGAGEMENT, HERE ARE
THE BABIES AND THE KIDS GROWING
UP.
IT IS ALL LAID OUT FOR YOU.
GOD SEES THE ENTIRE SCOPE OF
MANKIND ALL THE WAY BEFORE HIM.
HE HAS PREPARED THE KINGDOM FOR
YOU. HE SEES IT ALL, BUT AT THE
SAME TIME, HE DOES NOT
INTERFERE WITH YOUR FREE WILL.
GOOD ANSWER.
THE NEXT CALLER, DOROTHY FROM
ARLINGTON, TEXAS.
GO AHEAD.
CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW I
CAN STRENGTHEN MY FAITH WALK
WITH GOD?
I WANT TO HAVE A BIGGER AND
BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
DOROTHY, FAITH COMES BY
HEARING, HEARING THE WORD OF
GOD.
YOU NEED TO LIVE INTO THE WORD.
YOU NEED TO SEEK HIM.
SEEK MY FACE.
WHEN I AM PRAYING, MORE
RECENTLY, I HAVE JUST HAD A
TIME OF PRAYER, I HAVE BEEN
CRYING OUT TO GOD, I WANT MORE
OF HIM.
YOU KNOW, JESUS, ASKING YOU
SHALL RECEIVE THAT YOUR JOY
MIGHT BE FULL.
GOD SPOKE TO JEREMIAH, HE SAID,
I WILL SHOW YOU GREAT AND
MIGHTY THINGS YOU KNEW NOT OF.
ASK OF ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU.
I THINK, WHEN WE COME BEFORE
THE LORD AND WE WANT MORE OF
HIM AND YOU CRY OUT TO HIM, GOD
WILL LISTEN TO YOUR PRAYER.
FAITH ALSO COMES BY THE WORD.
YOU SEE THE PROMISES, YOU LIVE
IN THE PSALMS, YOU READ THE OLD
AND NEW TESTAMENTS.
READ THOSE PSALMS AND THOSE
PROMISES AND LET THEM BE PART
OF YOUR LIFE.
AMEN.
GREAT WORK, PAT.
THERE IS ALWAYS MORE.
UP NEXT, ROUND TWO OF OUR
SPECIAL VOICEMAIL ADDITION OF
YOUR QUESTIONS AND PAT'S HONEST
ANSWERS.
STAY TUNED.
> WELCOME BACK TO ROUND TWO
OF OUR SPECIAL 700 CLUB WITH
PAT IN YOUR VOICEMAIL
QUESTIONS.
WE WILL START WITH BEVERLY FROM
ALBANY, NEW YORK.
I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY GOD
ANSWERS PRAYERS VERY QUICKLY
AND OTHER TIMES WE HAVE TO WAIT
MONTHS AND YEARS TO GET OUR
PRAYERS ANSWERED?
BEVERLY, I WISH I HAD THE
ANSWER TO THAT.
I REALLY DON'T.
YOU KNOW, GOD IS WISE.
WHAT HE SEES IS THE
CONSEQUENCES OF EVERYTHING YOU
ARE ASKING FOR.
I WANT A QUICK ANSWER RIGHT
NOW, BOOM.
YOU REMEMBER WHEN HEZEKIAH WAS
PRAYING? GOD SENT OF PROFIT AND
SAID, GET YOURSELF LINED UP AND
GET IN ORDER.
HE WENT AND BEGAN TO PRAY.
HE SAID, GUIDE ME, GOD, I HAVE
SERVED YOU WELL ALL THESE YEARS
AND I DON'T WANT MY LIFE TO END
NOW.
GOD SAID TO THE PROPHET, OKAY.
I WILL GIVE YOU 15 MORE YEARS.
HE HAD AN ANSWER TO HIS PRAYER.
DURING THAT TIME, HE BEGAT A
SON, WHO WAS ONE OF THE MOST
WICKED KINGS THEY EVER HAD IN
ISRAEL, WHO LED THE COUNTRY
INTO TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE THINGS.
GOD, MANY TIMES, SEES THE
CONSEQUENCES OF WHAT YOU ARE
ASKING FOR AND WON'T GIVE IT TO
YOU BECAUSE IT WILL HURT YOU.
HE KNOWS THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW.
ONE THING, DON'T BE FRUSTRATED.
IT IS SO EASY TO WIND YOUR WAY
TO TELL GOD HOW HE IS SUPPOSED
TO DO IT.
THE BEST THING IS TO SAY, I
SUBMIT TO YOUR WILL, LORD,
WHATEVER IS RIGHT FOR YOU.
HAVING HEARD FROM GOD, THEN YOU
DECLARE IT, THEN YOU BEGIN TO
MOVE IN FAITH IN RELATION TO
THE WORD OF GOD THAT HAS BEEN
GIVEN TO YOUR.
I PRAY FOR A LONG TIME FOR
US.
I FINALLY GOT THE RIGHT ONE.
SOME OF THE ONES YOU HAD
BEFORE WERE TERRIBLE.
GOD GAVEYOU ONE BETTER.
HE GAVE YOU A HUSBAND THAT
LIKES TO LOVE AND FISH.
A MAN'S MAN.
PAT SPEAKS THE TRUTH.
HERE WE GO . BRIAN FROM CAMDEN,
SOUTH CAROLINA HAS THIS
QUESTION.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN DIVORCE.
MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN
SEPARATED FOR SEVEN YEARS.
I LOVE HER DEARLY AND NEITHER
ONE OF US HAVE BEEN WITH
ANOTHER PERSON, AND WE STILL
COMMUNICATE.
I AM JUST WONDERING, IS IT
RIGHT FOR ME TO CONTINUE TO
HAVE HOPE AND TO PRAY FOR
RESURRECTION OF OUR MARRIAGE
AND OUR RELATIONSHIP?
BRIAN, YOU ARE A WONDERFUL
GUY, THAT ATTITUDE WILL PLEASE
THE LORD.
THE LORD SAYS, I HATE DIVORCE,
HATE PUTTING AWAY.
AT THE SAME TIME, THERE IS A
TIME WHEN A MAN WILL LEAVE A
WOMAN OR A WOMAN WILL LEAVE A
MN, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE NOT
BELIEVERS, PAUL SAID UNDER
THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE
BROTHER OR SISTER IS NOT BOUND.
I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO
SAY.
YOU CAN CONTINUE TO PRAY.
TE QUESTION IS, YOU ARE
TALKING ABOUT YOU, BUT WHAT
ABOUT YOUR WIFE?
SHE WANT TO LIVE WITH YOU
ANYMORE?
HAS SHE WALKED AWAY?
IS SHE HAVING ANOTHER
RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEBODY
ELSE?
ALL OF THOSE THINGS, I DON'T
KNOW ABOUT THE ANSWER.
IF THE UNBELIEVING SPOUSE IS
PLACED APART, LET THEM DEPART.
THE BROTHER OR SISTER IS NOT
FOUND IN THAT CASE.
TO CONTINUE A SINGLE LIFE FOR
YEARS ON END, HOPING FOR
RECONCILIATION, I DO THINK, WHY
DON'T YOU GET HOLD OF YOUR WIFE
AND TALK TO HER?
@LIVE WITH ME ANYMORE OR DO YOU
HATE ME?
WHAT IS THE STATUS?
YOU ARE JUST SITTING HOME BY
YOURSELF AND HOPING YOUR WIFE
WILL CHANGE HER MIND?
I THINK YOU WANT TO GET
TOGETHER AND TALK ABOUT THIS
AND THEN YOU CAN FIND OUT WHAT
THE DEAL IS.
SEVEN YEARS, THE NUMBER OF
COMPLETION.
GOD WILL SPEAK TO HIM.
LOU SEAL FROM BRENTWOOD, NEW
YORK HAS THIS QUESTION FOR PAT.
THE BIBLE SAYS WE DIE ONCE,
SO HOW CAN PEOPLE GO TO HEAVEN
AND COME BACK?
IN OTHER WORDS, THEY SAY THEY
DIED, GO TO HEAVEN AND THEN
THEY COME BACK.
HOW CAN THEY DO THAT IF THE
BIBLE SAYS WE ONLY DIE ONCE?
I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE
TALKING ABOUT COMING BACK.
I THINK, THERE IS A
RESUSCITATION. PEOPLE DIE AND
THEN THEY ARE RESUSCITATED.
THE RESURRECTION IS A TIME WHEN
THE LORD WILL COME BACK AND THE
DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE.
HE WILL GIVE THEM NEW BODIES.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT PEOPLE
COMING BACK, UNLESS YOU SAW IN
THE MOVIE SOMEPLACE.
IT IS NOT IN THE BIBLE.
PEOPLE DO NOT COME BACK.
THEY JUST HAVE THE NEAR-
DEATH EXPERIENCE.
THEY ARE RESUSCITATED BUT
THEY ARE NOT RESURRECTED.
BRENDA FROM HILDEBRANDT,
NORTH CAROLINA HAS THIS
QUESTION FOR PAT.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF
THERE'S ANY REASON WHY THE
UNITED STATES FLAG, IT'S A
CHRISTIAN FLAG, CANNOT BE
DISPLAYED IN THE CHURCH ?
I SEE NO REASON WHY YOU
SHOULDN'T DISPLAY THE FLAG IN
CHURCH.
IT IS A SYMBOL OF ALL THE
UNITED STATES.
THEIR IS A STAR FOR EACH STATE.
THE STARS AND BARS.
I DON'T KNOW ANY REASON NOT TO
HAVE IT, UNLESS THIS CHURCH IS
A SACRED PLACE AND THIS IS A
SECULAR FLAG.
ONE NATION UNDER GOD.
IT IS UP, YOU KNOW, WHAT
DOES THIS CHURCH WANT, WHAT IS
THE BODY OF THE CHURCH WANT?
IT IS NOT SIMPLE ONE WAY OR
ANOTHER.
I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD MAKE
PLACES OF WORSHIP INTO A
POLITICAL ARENA.
I THINK THAT IS THE DANGER THAT
COMES ABOUT WHEN WE WANT TO
POLITICIZE RELIGION.
THAT IS A DIFFERENT MATTER.
HIS IS A COLOR FROM
ABINGDON, VIRGINIA.
I WANTED TO ASK, GORDON USES
THE TERM, PREVAILING PRAYER.
WHAT DOES THAT TERM MEAN, WHERE
DOES IT COME FROM?
IT'S ONE I HAVE NEVER HEARD
BEFORE.
PREVAILING PRAYER MEANS YOU
KEEP ON PRAYING, IS WHAT I
THINK HE IS TALKING ABOUT.
I THINK BETTER THAN PREVAILING
IS THE WORD AND PRAYER TO NATE.
THAT MEANS YOU DON'T STOP, KEEP
ON ASKING, KEEP ON ASKING, KEEP
ON KNOCKING.
IT IS A GREAT PRESENT TENSE. IT
MEANS KEEP ON DOING IT.
I THINK THAT IS WHAT WE MEAN
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PREVAILING,
WE ARE STILL PRAYING, WE ARE
STILL ASKING AND BELIEVING.
FOR SOME REASON, THAT IS THE
WAY GOD DESIGNED IT.
SOMETHINGS DO GET A ANSWER BUT
HE WANTS US TO NOT STOP UNTIL
WE GET THERE.
IT IS PRESENT TENSE.
IF ANYBODY ASKED, HE WILL
RECEIVE.
HE SAYS KEEP ON, KEEP ON, KEEP
ON.
THAT IS PREVAILING.
AMEN.
DANIEL FROM SAN DIEGO,
CALIFORNIA HAS A QUESTION.
GO AHEAD.
HERE IS MY QUESTION FOR PAT.
WHAT YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN WITH
INFLATION GOING FORWARD?
THE REASON WE HAVE INFLATION
IS TWOFOLD.
IT IS USUALLY TOO MUCH MONEY
CHASING TOO FEW GOODS.
WE HAVE A SUPPLY CHAIN SCREWUP,
WHERE SHIPS ARE BEING CROWDED
AND NOT UNLOADED LIKE THEY
SHOULD AND WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
WORKERS TO UNLOAD THE BOATS.
THE WHOLE SUPPLY CHAIN IS
BACKED UP ACROSS THE PACIFIC.
THEY ARE FLOODING THE COUNTRY
WITH MONEY.
THAT IS CAUSING THIS TERRIBLE
INFLATION.
YOU KNOW, THE COST OF GASOLINE
HAS GONE UP $1.00 OR SO A
GALLON.
THE COST OF MEET, DARIAN ALL
KINDS OF GROCERY PRODUCTS HAVE
GONE UP DRAMATICALLY AS A
RESULT OF TOO MUCH MONEY.
THEY WANT TO PASS ANOTHER BILL
AND FLOOD THE COUNTRY WITH
MONEY.
THEY WILL DESTROY US.
WHEN IT HAPPENS AND IT IS
HAPPENING, REMEMBER WHAT
HAPPENED IN GERMANY, MAYBE YOU
DON'T REMEMBER, BUT RIGHT AFTER
WORLD WAR I, THEY STARTED
PRINTING MONEY.
IT GOT SO IT TOOK A BUSHEL TO
BUY A LOAF OF BREAD.
THE CURRENCY GETS DEVALUED BUT
WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO THAT PLACE
YET.
IT IS DANGEROUS AWAY IT IS
RIGHT NOW.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TELL
YOU.
YOU KNOW WHAT IS EVEN WORSE?
I WENT TO STARBUCKS THE OTHER
MORNING AND THEY WERE CLOSED
BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE
ENOUGH WORKERS.
OH YEAH, THE HOTELS ARE THE
SAME WAY.
THE HARD-PRESSED MANAGER AND
SOME OF HER STAFF WERE HAVING
TO CLEAN ROOMS.
SHE TOLD ME YESTERDAY, WE
FINALLY GOT SOME MORE STAFF IN
THERE.
IT WAS HARD TO HIRE WORKERS.
THE COST OF EVERYTHING HAS GONE
UP.
ALL RIGHT.
DIANE FROM ESCANABA, MICHIGAN
.
WHEN YOU DONATE TO OPERATION
BLESSING, DOES THAT COUNT
TOWARD YOUR TITHING FOR THE
MONTH?
AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, IT
COUNTS.
I THINK THE BODY OF CHRIST, THE
BIBLE TALKS ABOUT BRINGING YOUR
TYPE TO THE STORE HOST.
I THINK THE STORE HOST IS THE
COLLECTIVE BODY OF GOD'S
PEOPLE.
CERTAINLY CHARITABLE
ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE WITHIN
THIS, SUCH AS OPERATION
BLESSINGS ARE PART OF THE BODY
OF CHRIST.
IN MY OPINION, THAT TITHE IS
APPROPRIATE.
AMEN.
THEY ARE CERTAINLY BUSY RIGHT
NOW.
ALL RIGHT.
HERE IS DONNA FROM MARION,
SOUTH CAROLINA WITH ANOTHER
QUESTION FOR PAT.
I AM CALLING TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT I THINK YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY
AMAZING.
I WANT TO KNOW YOUR HEALTH
REGIMEN.
WHAT ARE THE VITAMINS THAT YOU
TAKE?
WHAT YOU TAKE DAILY SO THAT I
CAN LIVE AS LONG AS YOU HAVE
LIVED?
YOU HAVE LIVED A LONG LIFE, AND
I WANT TO FOLLOW IN YOUR
FOOTSTEPS.
I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE YOU WHEN
I GROW UP.
I TELL YOU WHAT, I THINK
THIS WHOLE IDEA IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO BUILD, IT MEANS
THAT ANTIBIOTICS WILL KILL THE
GODS FLORA YOU HAVE WITHIN YOUR
BODY.
1 TRILLION LITTLE MICROBES WILL
CREATE A FLORA INSIDE OF YOU
THAT ACCOUNTS FOR ABOUT 80% OF
YOUR IMMUNE FUNCTION.
IT HELPS YOU BE HEALTHY AND IT
HELPS YOU LOSE WEIGHT AND ALL
OF THAT REST OF IT.
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
THEY AWAY FROM ARTIFICIAL
SWEETENERS.
STAY AWAY FROM DIET SODA AND
DIET PEPSI AND STAY AWAY, IF
YOU POSSIBLY CAN, FROM
ANTIBIOTICS.
ON TOP OF THAT, FIND OUT THE
APPROPRIATE FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES THAT ARE FRESH, IF
YOU CAN GET THEM.
I TAKE AN ARRAY OF VITAMINS, I
DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THE
LIST BECAUSE IT IS TOO
EXTENSIVE, BUT I HAVE A LOT OF
THINGS THAT I THINK ARE
IMPORTANT.
THEY KEEP YOU HEALTHY, BUT YOU
HALF TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT
THESE THINGS.
I THINK YOU CAN GET CARRIED
AWAY WITH IT.
THE BIGGEST THING, THE WHOLE
IDEA OF BUILDING A BETTER GUT
IS TO MAKE SURE THAT FLORA IS
APPROPRIATE . THERE ARE SEVERAL
MILLION OF THEM.
MAYBE EVEN AS MANY AS 8
TRILLION IN YOUR INSIDE TO KEEP
YOU HEALTHY.
THAT IS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM THAT
HELPS YOUR MIND AND YOUR WHOLE
HEALTH SYSTEM.
80% OF YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS IN
THAT GUT.
SOMEBODY, ONE OF THE ANCIENT
SCHOLARS, I CAN'T REMEMBER HIS
NAME, HE SAID HEALING BEGINS IN
THE GUT.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE
HIPPOCRATES.
THAT IS WHAT I WAS THINKING.
THAT IS WHO I WAS THINKING OF.
FIRST DO NO HARM.
WHAT ELSE?
MICHELLE FROM ELKTON,
MARYLAND. GO AHEAD.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE
WONDERFUL SHOWS YOU HAVE GIVEN
US AND ALL THE BLESSINGS YOU
HAVE BESTOWED UPON US, SIR.
MY QUESTION FOR YOU TODAY IS,
WHERE DO YOU SAY GOD CAME FROM?
IS THAT A BAD QUESTION FOR ME
TO ASK?
SHOULD I NOT BE ASKING THAT?
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE DOESN'T
EVER TELL US THAT.
YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD LIKE TO
KNOW, THEY USED TO HAVE, IN THE
MIDDLE AGES, THEY DID THIS DEAL
WHERE THEY FINALLY KEPT GOING
BACK. THEY CAME UP WITH NOTHING.
THROUGH OUR REASONING, THE
BIBLE STARTS OUT AND SAYS, IN
THE BEGINNING, THERE IS A GOD
WHO IS A CREATOR.
HE CREATED THE ENORMOUS
UNIVERSE.
THERE ARE 1 BILLION TRILLION, 1
BILLION TRILLION STARS THE SIZE
OF OUR SUN IN THE UNIVERSE.
IT IS ENORMOUS.
THE GOD WE WORSHIP, HE USES THE
VERB, TO BE, AND HIS NAME IS
YAHWEH. IT MEANS HE WHO CAUSED
EVERYTHING TO BE.
WE DON'T HAVE WHERE HE CAME
FROM.
HE HAS GIVEN US ALL THE
PRINCIPLES WE NEED TO KNOW TO
PLEASE HIM AND LIVE FOR HIM IN
THIS LIKE THAT WE HAVE.
I DON'T KNOW, THERE IS NOBODY
WHO COULD POSSIBLY TELL YOU
WHERE GOD CAME FROM. IN THE
BEGINNING, GOD. THAT IS THE WAY
THE BIBLE STARTS, DOESN'T IT?
YOU ARE GOD, HOW DO YOU WANT ME
TO LIVE TO PLEASE YOU?
WHAT WILL BRING YOUR BLESSING?
WHAT WILL BRING YOUR FAVOR?
I PRAY FOR FAVOR AND DIE WOULD
INVITE -- AND I PRAY TO PLEASE
HIM AND I ADVISE YOU TO DO THE
SAME.
IN TERMS OF WHERE HE CAME FROM,
NOBODY KNOWS AND I MEAN NOBODY,
THERE IS NOT ONE HUMAN BEING
WHO WOULD POSSIBLY TELL YOU
WHERE GOD BECAME FROM.
WE DON'T KNOW WHICH CAME
FIRST, THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG,
EITHER.
[ LAUGHTER ] I TELL YOU
WHAT, WHAT CAME FOR US WAS THE
CONCEPT OF THE CHICKEN IN THE
MIND OF GOD HE CREATED THE
CHICKEN AND THEN THE CHICKEN
LAYS AN AIDE.
HE SAID A MECHANISM IN PLACE SO
IT WOULD REPRODUCE.
THAT IS THE WISDOM OF GOD
AGAIN.
WE KNOW THE ANSWER.
THE CHICKEN CAME FIRST.
THE CONCEPT OF THE CHICKEN
IN THE MIND OF GOD IS WHAT CAME
FIRST.
THE NEXT CALLER IS FROM
KINGSTON, PENNSYLVANIA.
IF JESUS SAID, NO ONE COMES
TO THE FATHER BUT THROUGH ME,
MY QUESTION IS, WHAT HAPPENS TO
OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE
JEWISH FAITH?
I BELIEVE, ACCORDING TO THE
APOSTLE PAUL, ALL ISRAEL WILL
BE SAVED.
THERE WILL COME A TIME OF GREAT
MOVEMENT.
PAUL SAID THEY WOULD RISE FROM
THE DEAD.
WE HAVE MORE AND MORE WONDERFUL
PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPECTED JESUS
AS SAVIOR.
GOD WILL LOOK AFTER HIS.
WHEN YOU READ ROMANS, HE SAYS
ALL ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED.
I AM COUNTING ON THAT FOR THEM .
WHEN THEY WERE CUT OFF FROM THE
BRANCH, WE WERE GRAFTED IN,
THEY ARE THE NATURAL HEIRS OF
ABRAHAM.
WE, AS GENTILES, HAVE BEEN
GRAFTED IN. WE TAKE WHAT WE
HAVE FROM ISRAEL . IT IS IN
GOD'S HANDS AS TO WHEN THAT
WILL HAPPEN BUT PAUL SAID ALL
OF ISRAEL WILL BE SAFE.
AMEN.
LET IT BE.
HERE IS THELMA FROM CLEVELAND,
OHIO FOR THIS QUESTION.
MY QUESTION FOR PAT IS, WHAT
IS GOD'S KINGDOM?
THY KINGDOM COME, THEY WILL
BE DONE, AS EARTH AND IT IS IN
HEAVEN.
WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
IT IS THE AREA WHERE HIS WILL
IS DONE.
IN HEAVEN, EVERYTHING IS
ACCORDING TO HIM BECAUSE HE
JUST THINKS IT IS DONE AND HE
SPEAKS IT IS DONE.
THAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
THAT KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE
DONE, AS EARTH AS IT IS IN
HEAVEN, LET THE KINGDOM OF GOD
LET THE PLACE WHERE GOD'S
POWER, GOD'S WILL, GOD'S LOVE
IS DONE.
IF YOU ARE PART OF THAT, IT IS
A DOMAIN WHERE GOD IS IN
CONTROL.
GOOD WORK.
HERE IS DIANA FROM BALTIMORE,
MARYLAND WITH THIS ONE.
I WAS WONDERING, WHERE ARE
WE, AS FAR AS THE UNITED
STATES, IN THE BIBLE TODAY?
YOU KNOW, IT IS KIND OF HARD
TO FIND.
IF YOU LOOK AT EZEKIEL, YOU
WILL FIND WHAT IS CALLED THE
AND LINES OF TORTIOUS.
THAT WAS THE AREA BEYOND THE
MEDITERRANEAN, THE LITTLE PLACE
PROBABLY IN ENGLAND.
I THINK, IF THERE WAS EVER A
REFERENCE TO THE UNITED STATES,
IT IS THAT REFERENCE.
WE ARE DESCENDENTS OF TARSHISH.
I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE SAY WE ARE
THE MYSTERY FATHER OF HARLOTS.
THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF IN
THERE ABOUT THE UNITED STATES.
IF YOU READ IT IN, IT IS VERY
HARD.
YOU HAVE TO DO A LITTLE MENTAL
GYMNASTICS TO GET TO THAT
PLACE.
THE TRUTH IS, THE UNITED
STATES, PER SE, IS NOT REALLY
MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE.
WE KNOW SO MANY MIRACLES
HAPPEN.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
KINGDOMS, THE VARIOUS KINGDOMS
OF TARA MERGEMER TO.
WE ARE AN EXTENSION OF ROME.
WE ARE SEEING THAT IS THE LAST
OF THE KINGDOMS . THERE WERE
THE GREEKS AND VARIOUS ONCE,
ALEXANDER THE GREAT AND SO
FORTH, I THINK WE ARE A
CONTINUATION OF ROME.
INTERESTING.
THAT MAKE SENSE.
THE TRUTH IS, THE UNITED
STATES IS GREATER THAN ALL
THOSE GUYS PUT TOGETHER.
NONE OF THEM ARE EVEN CLOSE.
THE POWER OF THE UNITED STATES,
THE WEALTH OF THE UNITED STATES,
THEY ARE POPPERS COMPARED TO
WHAT WE HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY.
THIS IS THE LAST GREAT KINGDOM.
THE KINGDOM WILL LAST FOREVER
IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
I THINK WE ARE HERE TO USHER IN
THE COMING OF THE GREAT
KINGDOM, WHICH IS THE KINGDOM
OF THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST.
AMEN.
THANK YOU, PAT.
STILL AHEAD, LAST CALL, THE
THIRD AND FINAL ROUND OF THIS
VOICEMAIL EDITION OF YOUR
QUESTIONS/HONEST ANSWERS.
THAT IS COMING UP NEXT.
STAY WITH US.
> WELCOME BACK TO OUR FINAL
ROUND OF THIS SPECIAL EDITION
OF "THE 700 CLUB", WHERE WE
HEAR FROM YOU, YOUR VOICEMAILS
. PAT IS HERE TO ANSWER.
WE'VE GOT THIS CALLER, ALLEN
FROM SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.
GO AHEAD.
IWATCH "THE 700 CLUB" EVERY
DAY.
MY QUESTION IS, HOW WOULD YOU
BLESS AND PRAISE GOD?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I CAN
BLESS GOD AND I DON'T
UNDERSTAND THE WORDS TO USE IN
PRAISING GOD, OTHER THAN TO
TELL HIM I LOVE HIM AND TO
THANK HIM FOR BEING AS GREAT AS
HE IS AND ALL THAT HE IS.
YOU KNOW, YOU DO TWO THINGS
WITH GOD.
YOU ENTER INTO HIM WITH
THANKSGIVING AND INTO HIS
PRESENCE WITH PRAISE.
YOU THANK HIM FOR WHAT HE HAS
DONE.
YOU COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.
YOU THINK OF YOUR HEALTH, YOU
THINK ABOUT YOUR FAMILY, YOU
@YOUR LOVED ONES. UR JOB OR
YOU THINK ABOUT THE FACT YOU
HAVE BEEN BORN IN THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA, THAT YOU ARE
FREE.
YOU CAN THANK HIM FOR ALL OF
THESE THINGS.
THEN YOU CAN PRAISE HIM FOR WHO
HE IS.
HE IS LOVING, HE IS KIND, HE IS
COMPASSIONATE.
HE IS ALL-KNOWING.
HE IS MERCIFUL.
YOU CAN PRAISE HIM FOR BEING
WHO HE IS.
JUST CONCENTRATE AND CONTEMPLATE
THE SPLENDOR AND THE
AWESOMENESS AND THE LOVE OF GOD.
THOSE TWO THINGS ARE WHAT YOU
NEED TO DO WHEN YOU ARE ASKING
HOW TO PRAISE HIM.
YOU THANK HIM FOR WHAT HE HAS
DONE FOR YOU, YOU PRAISE HIM
FOR WHO HE IS.
LET YOUR MIND JUST FOCUS ON
THOSE THINGS. IT WILL BRING YOU
TO A NEW DIMENSION WITH THE
LORD.
IT HELPS ME TO PUT ON PRAISE
MUSIC AND JUST SAY THE WORDS OF
THE SONG.
EXACTLY.
YOU CAN PRAY THE SONG, IF YOU
WANT TO.
DAVID, I'VE GOT THAT BOOK I
HAVE JUST FINISHED ON DAVID,
DAVID WROTE MANY, MANY PSALMS.
THANK YOU, LORD, I BLESS THE
LORD WITH ALL MY HEART.
FROM NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT,
ANNE HAS THIS QUESTION FOR PAT.
MY QUESTION FOR PAT IS, IS
THERE A DESCENDENT OF KING
DAVID IN ISRAEL TODAY AND IS
HE INVOLVED IN POLITICS?
IF THERE IS A DESCENDENT OF
DAVID, I DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS,
WHERE HE IS OR IF HE IS
INVOLVED IN POLITICS.
AS I SAID, I WROTE THIS -- READ
THIS BOOK ON DAVID, ONE PERSON
SAYS THEY THINK IT IS THE FIRST
BOOK ON DAVID BUT I REALLY GOT
INTO THE FACT ON WHO HE IS.
HE IS AN AMAZING PERSON.
WHEN YOU READ REVELATION, JESUS
CHRIST SAID I AM OF THE BRANCH
OF DAVID.
THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT DAVID
THAT WAS BORN THIS DAY IN THE
CITY OF DAVID, OUR SAVIOR,
CHRIST THE LORD.
IS THERE SOMEBODY LIVING RIGHT
NOW WHO IS A DESCENDENT OF
DAVID IN ISRAEL.
WOULD HAVE TO BE THE TRIBE OF
JUDAH.
THE PRIESTLY TRIBE, I DON'T
KNOW OF ANY PERSON. WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT ZIONISTS AND ZION
IS THE CITY OF DAVID.
IS OR ANYBODY?
YOU ASKED ME IF THERE IS A
RELATIVE OF HIS, REALLY, I HAVE
NO IDEA IF THERE IS AT ALL.
I DO KNOW IN REVELATION, WHEN
IT SHOWS JESUS CHRIST, HE IS
THE OFFSPRIG OF DAVID, IT IS
IN THERE VERY CLEARLY.
INTERESTING TO KNOW BUT WE
DON'T KNOW.
HERE IS VANCE FROM SAN
AUGUSTINE, TEXAS.
GORDON JUST MENTIONED
EARLIER ABOUT HUMBLING
OURSELVES BEFORE GOD.
I'M NOT REAL FAMILIAR WITH
THAT.
COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT, PLEASE?
HOW DO WE HUMBLE OURSELVES
BEFORE GOD?
I TELL YOU, A FEW YEARS AGO,
I WAS ASKING GOD FOR SOMETHING
AND I HAD ALREADY GOT DOWN ON MY
FACE BEFORE THE LORD EVERY
SINGLE DAY.
YOU SAY, GOD, YOU ARE
EVERYTHING AND I AM NOTHING.
IT IS REALLY EASY TO DO.
HE SAYS, WHEN YOU THINK OF WHAT
YOU ARE DOING, SEE WHAT
@DONE IN OUR DUTY. TS WE HAVE
COME BEFORE THE LORD AND SAY,
LORD, I AM NOTHING BEFORE YOU,
I AM NOTHING.
REMEMBER, JESUS TALKED ABOUT
TWO PEOPLE PRAYING.
ONE PHARISEE WAS SAYING, LORD,
I AM THANK YOU I HAVE TIED WHAT
I HAVE AND I AM A GOOD GUY AND
I AM ALL THESE WONDERFUL
THINGS.
THE OTHER ONE SAID, GOD, BE
MERCIFUL TO ME, A SINNER.
I THINK THAT IS THE ATTITUDE WE
NEED TO COME BEFORE GOD.
I AM A SINNER.
I DON'T DESERVE MANY OF THESE
THINGS.
I THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR
GOODNESS AND TO SAY I AM AN
UNPROFITABLE SERVANT.
I WANT TO DO MY DUTY.
THAT IS HOW YOU HUMBLE
YOURSELF.
REMIND YOURSELF HOW GREAT GOD
IS AND HOW SMALL YOU ARE.
AMEN.
THANKS, PAT.
HERE IS JIM FROM BALTIMORE,
MARYLAND.
I LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE WHITE
THRONE OF JUDGMENT AND THE
JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST .
YOU KNOW, I WAS READING JUST
A COUPLE DAYS AGO ABOUT JESUS.
HE SAID, YOU KNOW, IN THE
LATTER DAYS, WHEN I AM SITTING
ON MY THRONE AND ALONG WITH THE
HOLY ANGELS, I WILL BRING ALL
TH NATIONS BEFORE ME.
I WILL SAY TO THESE NATIONS, I
WAS HUNGRY AND YOU FED ME.
I WAS NAKED AND YOU CLOTHED ME.
I WAS SICK AND IN PRISON AND
YOU CAME TO ME.
THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SAY, WHEN DO
WE DO THAT?
HE WILL SAY, AS MUCH AS YOU DID
IT UNDER MY BRETHREN, YOU DID
TO ME. THE KINGDOM WAS PREPARED
FOR YOU FROM THE FOUNDATION OF
THE EARTH.
THE OTHERS WILL SAY, WE DIDN'T
KNOW YOU AND HE SAYS, YOU WILL
GO INTO THE FIRE OF PREPARED
BY THE DEVIL OF ANGELS.
IT IS REALLY A TOUGH THING.
WHAT IS A WHITE THRONE
JUDGMENT?
IN REVELATION, IT TALKS ABOUT
THE FINAL JUDGMENT.
THE BOOKS ARE OPENED.
GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF THOSE WHO
HAVE BEEN WRITTEN IN THE BOOK.
THEY WILL BE HONORED AND THERE
ARE THOSE WHO WON'T.
THERE IS THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF
CHRIST,WHERE WE ARE ACCOUNTED
FOR THINGS DONE TO OUR BODIES.
I CAN GIVE YOU TWO OR THREE
THINGS WE DO KNOW ABOUT, HOW
THEY ALL COINCIDE, I DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY THE ANSWER.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU KNOW MORE THAN US, PAT.
[ LAUGHTER ], I HAVE GIVEN
YOU A LOT OF HISTORY.
I APPRECIATE IT.
HERE IS CORI FROM NEW YORK
CITY.
I'D LIKE TO KNOW, DID ALL
THOSE PEOPLE WHO DIED IN THE
FLOOD OF NOAH, DID THEY GO TO ?
FRANKLY, I THINK THEY
PROBABLY DID BECAUSE THEY WERE
ALL EVIL.
THE BIBLE SAYS EVERY THOUGHT
OF THE IMAGINATION OF THEIR
HEARTS WAS EVIL CONTINUOUSLY.
THERE WAS VIOLENCE IN THE LAND
SO THEY WERE TERRIBLE PEOPLE.
WHEN THE FLOOD CAME, HE
DESTROYED THEM ALL.
DID THEY GO TO ? IS IN GOD'S
HANDS, IT IS NOT A MIND IN
MINE.
DEPENDS ON GOD, IT DEPENDS ON
SOMEONE'S MIND AT THE MOMENT HE
TAKES THEM.
YOU SAY NORMALLY, THEY DESERVE
AND THAT WAS THE PLACE FOR
THEM.
ONLY GOD KNOWS THE ANSWER TO
THAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I WISH WE HAD MORE TIME.
IT HAS BEEN FUN.
@GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU. E.
WE LEAVE YOU WITH TODAY'S PRAYER
"ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD-BREATHED
AND IS USEFUL FOR TEACHING,
REBUKING, CORRECTING AND
TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS."
(2 TIMOTHY 3:16 NIV) GOD BLESS
