EDITION OF THE 700 CLUB FROM ALL

ACROSS AMERICA, YOU CALLED AND

LEFT YOUR VOICE MAIL QUESTIONS.

THEY'RE YOURS.

TODAY WE'RE GOING TO HEAR YOUR

VOICES ON THE AIR AND WE'LL

THAT'S ALL COMING UP.

> BUT FIRST, IN THE NEWS,

TRAGEDY IN UKRAINE, MISSILES ARE

RAINING DOWN ON CIVILIANS,

CITIES ON FIRE, AND MANY ARE

FLEEING FOR THEIR LIVES IN

UKRAINE.

THE RUSSIAN ARMY HAS RESORTED TO

SCORCHED EARTH WARFARE AFTER

MEETING FIERCE RESISTANCE FROM

UKRAINIAN FORCES.

THE CAPITOL CITY OF KYIV IS NOW

UNDER STRICT CURFEW AND BRACING

FOR THE WORST IN THE NEXT FEW

HOURS.

CHARLENE AARON REPORTS ON THIS

BRUTAL ONSLAUGHT.

Reporter: AS THE RUSSIANS

ARE STALLED OUTSIDE UKRAINIAN'S

CAPITOL CITY, KYIV, THEY'RE

RELENTLESSLY BOMBARDING THE

CIVILIAN POPULATIONS, ROCKETS,

MISSILES, AND BOMBS LEAVING

SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE, HOSPITALS

AND CIVILIANS TARGETED.

CBN'S GEORGE THOMAS IS IN KYIV.

Reporter: THE LATEST REPORT

FROM THE PENTAGON IS THAT THE

RUSSIANS HAVE LAUNCHED OVER 900

MISSILES SINCE THE START OF THE

WAR.

ONE OF THOSE MISSILES HITTING

THIS MULTI-STORY APARTMENT

BUILDING ON THE WEST SIDE OF

KYIV.

YOU CAN STILL SEE THE SMOKE

BILLOWING.

THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY, AND ALL

THE SURROUNDING BUILDINGS AS

WELL.

YOU CAN SEE THEIR WINDOWS HAVE

BEEN BASICALLY BLOWN OUT, EVEN

TO THAT BUILDING APARTMENT OVER

THERE.

WHAT YOU ARE SEEING TODAY IS

THAT BECAUSE THE RUSSIANS HAVE

FAILED, ALL OF THESE MANY DAYS,

TO COMPLETELY ENCIRCLE AND

CAPTURE KYIV, THAT THEY ARE

INSTEAD GOING AFTER CIVILIAN

TARGETS.

THE MAYOR OF KYIV HAS IMPOSED A

PROVINCE-WIDE CURFEW.

NOBODY CAN GO OUT OF THEIR HOMES

UNTIL THURSDAY AT 7:00 A.M.

WHY? BECAUSE THE MAYOR FEARS THAT

THE

NEXT FEW HOURS ARE GOING TO BE

PROBABLY THE MOST DANGEROUS

HOURS FOR THIS CITY.

Reporter: UKRAINIAN

PRESIDENT ZELENSKYY ADDRESSING

CONGRESS TODAY IN A VIRTUAL

SPEECH, THANKING THE U.S. FOR

ITS HELP AND ASKING FOR BILLIONS

MORE IN NEW SUPPORT.

WITH REPORTS THAT RUSSIAN TROOPS

ARE LOW ON MORALE OVER THEIR

LACK OF PROGRESS, ZELENSKYY SAYS

RUSSIA'S DEMANDS IN PEACE TALKS

ARE SOUNDING MORE REALISTIC.

BUT U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT

OFFICIALS URGE CAUTION.

WE HAVE YET TO FIND RUSSIAN

INTERLOCATUR WHO IS EITHER ABLE

OR WILLING TO NEGOTIATE IN GOOD

FAITH, AND CERTAINLY NOT IN THE

CONTEXT OF DE-ESCALATION.

Reporter: MEANWHILE, 3

MILLION HAVE FLED THE WAR IN

UKRAINE, CREATING THE LARGEST

REFUGEE CRISIS IN EUROPE SINCE

WORLD WAR II.

MEANWHILE, THERE ARE GIFT BAGS

WITH SUPPLIES.

AND ON THE BORDER THEY'RE

PACKING CRUCIAL SUPPLIES AND

SENDING THEM INTO UKRAINE.

THESE WILL BE A BLESSING TO

UKRAINE TO PEOPLE WHO REALLY

NEED IT BECAUSE OF THE SHORTAGES

IN THE SHOPS.

WE HAVE TEAMS READY TO

DISTRIBUTE BECAUSE IT'S AMAZING

TO SEE THEM BRINGING THE PEOPLE

TOGETHER TO HELP MAKE THIS

HAPPEN.

Reporter: MEANWHILE

PRESIDENT BIDEN IS EXPECTED TO

ANNOUNCE $800 BILLION IN NEW

MILITARY AID TO UKRAINE.

HE WILL GO TO THE NATO SUMMIT ON

DETERRENCE AND DEFENSE EFFORTS

AGAINST PUTIN'S WAR.

CHARLENE AARON, CBN NEWS.

OPERATION BLESSING, WE'VE

BEEN OPERATING ALL OVER EUROPE

FOR QUITE SOME TIME, BUT WE'VE

GOT A MAJOR TEAM GOING WITH

ORPHAN'S PROMISE AND OPERATION

BLESSING IN UKRAINE, AND IF YOU

WANT TO HELP THOSE POOR PEOPLE,

YOU CAN DO IT THROUGH OPERATION

BLESSING.

THAT'S THE NUMBER.

OPERATION BLESSING DISASTER

RELIEF FUND, CBN CENTER, AND YOU

CAN CALL IN.

> LET ME TALK TO YOU A LITTLE

BIT BEFORE WE GO INTO OUR

QUESTIONS.

YOU KNOW, THE POLISH PEOPLE WERE

GOING TO MAKE MiG JETS

AVAILABLE.

BUT WE SAID, OH, NO, THAT WILL

BE AN ESCALATION.

HOW ABOUT A NO-FLY ZONE?

WELL, THAT WOULD BE AN

ESCALATION.

WELL, WE'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL

BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE AN

INTERLOCUTORY TO DEAL WITH THIS

PROBLEM AND IT MIGHT BE AN

ESCALATION.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING JUST

REAL CAREFULLY: WE HAVE IN THE

OCEAN JUST ONE OF MANY TRIDENT

SUBMARINES THAT HAVE ENOUGH

NUCLEAR POWER ON BOARD TO

EVISCERATE ANY OF THE CITIES IN

RUSSIA.

PUTIN KNOWS IT.

WE KNOW IT.

SO CAN YOU IMAGINE PLAYING POKER

AND EVERY TIME YOU CALL THE

BLUFF, THE OTHER GUY THREW IN A

WINNING HAND?

WELL, THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING

NOW.

WE ARE SO TERRIFIED OF, QUOTE,

AN ESCALATION, WE WON'T USE THE

MiGs THE POLES HAVE GOT, WE

WON'T HAVE A NO-FLY ZONE, WE

WON'T SEND THE NECESSARY

EQUIPMENT TO UKRAINE BECAUSE WE

ARE AFRAID OF ESCALATION.

YOU HEARD WHAT THE MAN WAS

SAYING, WE DON'T HAVE A, QUOTE,

INTERLOCOTUR.

BALONEY.

WE HAVE THE FIRE POWER TO WIPE

OUT EVERY RUSSIAN CITY, JUST ONE

TRIDENT SUBMARINE, AND OF COURSE

WE'RE NOT USING IT AND HAVE NO

INTENTION OF USING IT.

BUT WHY DOESN'T SOMEBODY IN THE

ADMINISTRATION CALL PUTIN'S

BLUFF?

HE'S BLUFFING.

AND EVERY TIME HE SAYS, WELL, IF

YOU DO THAT, WE'RE GOING TO

ESCALATE.

OH, NO YOU'RE NOT, OLD BUDDY.

WE'RE GOING TO DO YOU IF YOU TRY

TO DO US AND WE'LL MAKE IT WORSE

AND YOU KNOW IT.

PUTIN KNOWS WE ARE POWERFUL.

HE DOESN'T HAVE MUCH OF AN ARMY.

HE DOESN'T HAVE MUCH OF AN

ECONOMY.

IT'S A TINY ECONOMY.

AND HE'S PLAYING A BLUFF.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE A MAN

IN CHARGE IN WASHINGTON WHO

DOESN'T LIKE TO STAND UP TO

BLUFFS.

HE FOLDS HIS WINNING HAND EVERY

SINGLE TIME.

THAT'S MY COMMENTARY ON IT.

A LOT OF US AGREE WITH

EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID.

> UP NEXT, YOU CALLED AND PAT

IS ABOUT TO ANSWER YOUR VOICE

MAIL QUESTION.

A SPECIAL EDITION OF "YOUR

QUESTIONS, HONEST ANSWERS," IS

COMING UP.

STAY TUNED.

> WELCOME BACK TO OUR SPECIAL

EDITION OF THE 700 CLUB.

WE ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE PAT

BACK IN THE STUDIO WITH US AND

WE'VE GOT YOUR QUESTIONS.

WE START WITH JOHN AND HE'S FROM

SPRINGFIELD, OREGON.

I HAVE A FRIEND THAT SEEMS TO

HAVE A PROPHETIC HEART OR AT

LEAST SAYS HE DOES.

HOW WOULD HE KNOW FOR SURE HE

CAN SPEAK AS AN ORACLE OF GOD IN

THIS PRESENT DAY?

THANK YOU.

WELL, IF YOU HAVE A GIFT, YOU

EXERCISE THE GIFT AND YOU WAY

YOU KNOW IF SOMEBODY IS A

PROPHET, IF WHAT HE SAYS DOESN'T

COME TO PASS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO

FEAR HIM.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU KNOW,

IF HE HAS A GIFT, LET HIM

EXERCISE THE GIFT.

THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.

AND THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW A

PROPHET.

IF HE SPEAKS ABOUT THE FUTURE

AND IT DOESN'T COME TO PASS,

THEN YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH HIM

ESPECIALLY IF SOMEBODY CLAIMS HE

IS SPEAKING IN THE NAME OF THE

LORD AND HE ISN'T REALLY.

THEN HE'S A FAKE, AND YOU DON'T

WANT THAT.

AMEN.

WE'VE GOT THIS CALLER FROM

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.

GO AHEAD.

I HAVE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT

JOB IN THE BIBLE.

WAS HE A REAL PERSON OR IS IT A

STORY THAT WAS USED TO TEACH US?

AND IF HE WAS A REAL PERSON, WHY

WOULD GOD DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS

TO HIM SINCE HE WAS SUCH A GOOD

MAN?

THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWER.

JOB IS ONE OF THE OLDEST

BOOKS IN THE BIBLE, AND FOR ALL

WE KNOW, HE WAS A REAL MAN.

BUT WHY DID HE GO THROUGH THAT

AGONY?

BECAUSE HE WAS EXHIBIT A.

THE DEVIL CAME APPARENTLY IN

THOSE DAYS HE HAD ACCESS TO THE

FATHER, AND HE SAYS, YOU KNOW,

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED MY SERVANT

JOB?

AND GOD WAS USING JOB AS AN

EXAMPLE OF SOMEBODY WHO WAS TRUE

TO HIM, AND JOB SAID, THOUGH HE

SLAY ME YET WILL I TRUST HIM.

AND HE NEVER SINNED.

AND GOD, WHEN IT WAS OVER WITH,

GAVE HIM TWICE OF WHAT HE HAD

BEFORE.

HE WENT THROUGH A PERIOD OF

TIME, BUT IT WASN'T LONG.

IT WAS LESS THAN A YEAR.

HE SUFFERED FOR A WHILE.

AND THEN WHEN IT WAS OVER WITH,

GOD GAVE HIM DOUBLE.

BUT HE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THOSE OF

US WHO KNOW GOD AND THOUGH WE'RE

UNDER SOME KIND OF PERSECUTION,

WE WILL PERSEVERE AND SAY THOUGH

HE SLAY ME, YET WILL I TRUST

HIM.

AND IT'S THAT DECLARATION OF

FAITH THAT WINS.

THAT'S SUCH AN ENCOURAGEMENT,

PAT, BECAUSE IN THE END, JOB

GETS BACK TWICE, DOUBLE

EVERYTHING.

YEAH, EXACTLY.

DOUBLE.

AND THE TORMENT COULDN'T HAVE

LASTED MUCH OVER A YEAR.

I MEAN, HE WAS SUFFERING, BUT IT

WAS A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND

THE DEVIL DID HIS JOB AND JOB,

THE WONDERFUL THING, IN MY

FLESH, EYES WILL SEE GOD, AND

I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE UP MY

PROFESSION OF VICTORY IN THE

LORD.

THAT'S WHAT JOB TEACHES US.

ALL RIGHT?

AMEN.

ALL RIGHT.

MARY FROM PHILADELPHIA, P. A.

HERE SHE IS.

IN CHAPTER 3 WHERE THE THREE

HEBREW BOYS WERE THROWN IN THE

FIREY FURNACE ON COMMAND.

THANK YOU.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY.

I THINK DANIEL WAS WRITING

ABOUT IT THAT DANIEL WASN'T PUT

IN THE FIRE FIRST.

IT WAS THE THREE BOYS.

AND DANIEL WAS, YOU KNOW, THE

PRIME MINISTER OF THE KING, AND

HE LIVED TO WRITE ABOUT IT, BUT

HE HAD QUITE A STORY TO TELL.

WHERE WAS HE THAT THE BEST WAY

WE KNOW?

HE WAS PRAYING PROBABLY.

HERE'S CHERYL FROM LIVERMORE,

CALIFORNIA, WITH THIS QUESTION

FOR PAT.

PAT, OUT OF ALL THE BOOKS

THAT YOU'VE WRITTEN, WHICH ONE

WAS YOUR FAVORITE AND HOW LONG

DID IT TAKE YOU TO WRITE IT?

THANK YOU.

I THINK PROBABLY THE FAVORITE

IS "I WALK WITH THE LIVING GOD."

AND IT TOLD A STORY OF THE

GIVING OF MY LIFE WITH THE LORD

AND THE YEARS THAT HAVE

FOLLOWED, AND I DIDN'T WRITE

IT -- I USED TO WRITE ALL THE

WORDS.

ALL THE BOOKS I'VE WRITTEN

RECENTLY HAVE BEEN DICTATED.

AND I DICTATED IT AND WENT OVER

AND OVER AND OVER.

AND I THINK THAT HAS HAD MORE

POWER OF CHANGING PEOPLE'S

LIVES.

I'M GETTING IT TRANSLATED INTO

CHINESE, I'M GETTING IT

TRANSLATED INTO FARSI AND OTHER

LANGUAGES.

BECAUSE I THINK IT WILL CHANGE

PEOPLE'S FAITH.

I WROTE ONE BOOK, "THE END OF AN

AGE," I HAD IT WRITTEN IN ALMOST

30 DAYS.

I JUST WROTE AND WROTE AND

WROTE.

I WOULD WAKE UP AND I WOULD GET

UP ABOUT MIDNIGHT AND I'D GO AND

WRITE UNTIL 3:00 OR 4:00 OR 5:00

IN THE MORNING, AND THEN I'D

WRITE AGAIN.

BUT THAT -- I WROTE THE WHOLE

THING IN ABOUT 30 DAYS.

THE OTHER TOOK A LITTLE BIT

LONGER, BUT I'VE WRITTEN -- THE

LAST ONE ISN'T PUBLISHED YET.

IT'S THE ONE ON THE GREAT MAN OF

GOD, DAVID, THE SHEPHERD KING.

AND THAT'S GOING TO BE A POWER

HOUSE, IN MY OPINION, A

WONDERFUL BOOK.

"THE END OF THE AGE" IS SO

TIMELY RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S THE

ONLY NOVEL THAT YOU WROTE.

AND IT'S SO GOOD.

YOU CANNOT PUT IT DOWN.

AND OF COURSE "I WALK WITH THE

LIVING GOD," ALSO MY FAVORITE.

THERE YOU GO.

ALL RIGHT.

OUR NEXT QUESTION, TERESA FROM

NATLY, NEW JERSEY.

MY QUESTION IS, DOES GOD

ALLOW US TO SEE LOVED ONES IN

HEAVEN WHO HAVE PASSED IN OUR

DREAMS AND VISION?

ALSO DECEASED FAMILY MEMBERS AND

HAVE THEM REMEMBER US, ARE THEY

ALLOWED TO SEE HOW LOVED ONES

ARE DOING ON EARTH?

THANKS VERY MUCH.

YOU'VE ASKED SEVERAL

QUESTIONS.

I DON'T THINK LOVED ONES CAN

LOOK DOWN ON EARTH AND SEE WHAT

WE'RE DOING.

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.

WE'RE SURROUNDED BY A GREAT

CROWD OF WITNESSES, BUT I DON'T

THINK THE LOVED ONES ARE

LOOKING.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WHEN WE

GET TO HEAVEN, WE WILL

DEFINITELY KNOW ALL THE PEOPLE

AND WE'LL ALL RECOGNIZE, WE'LL

RECOGNIZE LITTLE CHILDREN THAT

WE'VE HAD, WE'LL RECOGNIZE ALL

THE PEOPLE, AND THERE WILL BE

GLORIOUS REUNIONS.

BUT JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT ONCE

WE ARE IN HEAVEN, WE WILL NOT

MARRY OR GIVEN TO MARRIAGE.

WE WILL BE LIKE THE ANGELS.

SO WE WON'T BE -- THE FAMILIES

WON'T BE REJOINED LIKE WE HAVE

ON EARTH.

BUT WE'LL RECOGNIZE EVERYBODY.

I HOPE SO BECAUSE I JUST GOT

MARRIED.

ALL RIGHT.

DON FROM FALL RIVER,

MASSACHUSETTS.

I WANT TO KNOW, GOOD FRIDAY,

CAN YOU EAT MEAT AS A CHRISTIAN?

@AND ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW

THE LENT?

I LOVE YOUR SHOW AND I GIVE TO

IT, AND I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOU,

PAT.

THANK YOU.

I'VE BEEN WATCHING FOR YEARS.

THAT WAS VERY SWEET.

LOOK, THE FISH ON FRIDAY IS A

CATHOLIC THING.

I THINK THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

WANTS TO DO THAT.

I DON'T FOLLOW THAT THING.

I EAT MEAT ON FRIDAY IF I HAVE

TO.

WHATEVER IS GOOD FOR ME AT THE

PARTICULAR TIME.

I MAY WANT SOME SERIAL.

BUT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE'S NO

PROBLEM.

THERE'S SOME PEOPLE THAT COME

LENT, THEY WANT TO GIVE UP

SOMETHING TO SHOW THEIR DEVOTION

TO THE LORD SO THEY MAY GIVE UP

EATING MEAT, THEY MAY GIVE UP

SWEETS, THEY MAY GIVE UP SOME

PARTICULAR THING.

BUT TO MY WAY OF KNOWLEDGE, THE

EATING FISH ON FRIDAY IS NOT

SOMETHING THAT WAS PRESCRIBED IN

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

BUT I'M FAMILIAR WITH IT.

IT IS THE CATHOLIC TRADITION,

BUT IT'S NOT IN THE OVERALL

CHURCH, IN THE BIBLE.

ALL RIGHT.

SARA FROM ALBUQUERQUE, NEW

MEXICO, WITH THIS QUESTION.

I WANTED TO KNOW WHY I FEEL

SO BAD BY DISAPPROVING OF MY

STEP DAUGHTER BEING GAY.

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO LOVE ALL AND I

DON'T WANT TO FEEL LIKE THAT NO

MORE.

GOD BLESS.

SARA, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE

SAYS THAT TO LIE WITH A WOMAN AS

WITH A MAN IS A SIN, AND TO THE

UNNATURAL DESIRES THAT ARE BEING

IMPOSED ON PEOPLE ON TODAY'S

SOCIETY IS JUST WRONG.

AND ONE DAY THE PEOPLE WHO DO

WILL HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE.

I NOTICED IN THE NEWS A WOMAN, A

TEACHER, WAS BEING REPRIMANDED

AND ACTUALLY FIRED FROM HER JOB

BECAUSE SHE CALLED ONE OF THE

STUDENTS MISS AND THE WOMAN SAID

I'M NOT MISS, I'M SOMETHING

ELSE, AND THEN SHE STARTED

CALLING HER BY HER LAST NAME

BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T COME TO

A -- YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S

WRONG.

SO THE FACT THAT YOU FEEL

UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT THE

SITUATION, YOU SHOULD FEEL

UNCOMFORTABLE.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU DON'T

LOVE THEM.

OF COURSE YOU LOVE THEM.

YOU WANT TO LOVE THEM AND SEE

THEM COME TO THE LORD.

SO YOU'RE NOT REJECTING THEM,

BUT YOU DON'T APPROVE -- YOU

KNOW, YOU LOVE THE SINNER, BUT

YOU HATE THE SIN.

AMEN.

AMEN.

ALL RIGHT.

JIMMY FROM ROCK HILL, SOUTH

CAROLINA, WITH THIS QUESTION FOR

PAT.

IN THE BIBLE JESUS SAID THAT

PEOPLE WON'T MARRY IN HEAVEN.

HOWEVER WHEN WE COME BACK TO

EARTH AFTER THE REVELATION, WILL

THAT CHANGE?

WILL WE BE MARRIED OR BE WITH

OUR LOVED ONES THAT WE MARRIED

ON EARTH BEFORE WE WENT OUT OR

PASSED AWAY?

THANK YOU.

WHEN THE LORD COMES BACK, WE

WILL BE RESURRECTED WITH --

WE'LL HAVE HEAVENLY BODIES.

WE'LL BE LIKE HIM.

OF COURSE, WE'LL SEE HIM AS HE

IS IN HEAVEN, SPIRITS.

BUT THE RESURRECTION, WE'LL ALSO

HAVE SPIRITUAL BODIES.

BUT THOSE SPIRITUAL BODIES ARE

NOT GOING TO REPRODUCE LIKE ON

EARTH, BUT THEY WON'T MARRY OR

GIVEN IN MARRIAGE, AND I THINK

THAT FOLLOWS THROUGH ON THE

RAPTURE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTING TO

KNOW THAT.

LYNN FROM VICTORY, OHIO.

GO AHEAD.

I WANT TO PRAY ABOUT HEALING.

SOME OF THE SMALL THINGS GET

HEALED.

BUT THE BIGGER THINGS DON'T.

HOW COME THE SMALL THINGS GET

HEALED BUT THE BIGGER THINGS

DON'T?

YOU HAVE A FAITH FOR THE

SMALL THINGS.

YOU CAN PRAY FOR A HEADACHE.

IF A HEADACHE DOESN'T GO AWAY,

YOU CAN ALWAYS TAKE AN ASPIRIN

OR A TYLENOL.

SO YOU CAN SAY I CAN BELIEVE GOD

TAKE AWAY THE HEADACHE, BUT JUST

IN CASE I MISS, HERE IS SOME

MEDICINE FOR IT.

BUT YOU HAVE CANCER, THEN YOU'VE

GO TO BELIEVE IN A BIG WAY, SO

IT TAKES A LOT OF FAITH TO SEE

SOME OF THESE THINGS HAPPEN.

BUT IF YOU HOLD ON, GOD WILL

PROVIDE THE WAY.

BUT, YOU KNOW, SMALL MIRACLES

TAKE SMALL FAITH AND BIG

MIRACLES TAKE BIG FAITH.

THIS IS TRUE.

THAT MAKES SENSE.

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD ANSWER.

CHERYL FROM SMITH'S GROVE,

KENTUCKY, WITH THIS QUESTION.

MY QUESTION IS, WHAT ARE YOU

DOING WITH YOURSELF SINCE YOU'VE

RETIRED?

THAT'S REAL -- I'VE RETIRED

FROM BROADCASTING, BUT I HAPPEN

TO BE THE CHANCELLOR OF A LARGE

UNIVERSITY THAT IS RAPIDLY

GROWING AND HAS ABOUT 12,000

STUDENTS.

AND SO I HAVE MY HANDS FULL OF

DOING THOSE THINGS.

I HAVE CHANCELLOR'S FORUM WHERE

WE DEAL WITH MATTERS, AND I'VE

ALSO -- I'VE BEEN WRITING BOOKS

ALONG THE WAY AND I'VE DONE A

COUPLE OF OTHER BOOKS SINCE I'VE

BEEN, QUOTE, RETIRED.

BUT I'M RETIRED, LIKE, AFTER HOW

MANY YEARS?

60 YEARS OF BEING ON TELEVISION.

I DECIDED THAT I'D HAD ENOUGH

AND I THOUGHT GORDON COULD TAKE

OVER AND DO A GOOD JOB, SO

THAT'S -- I STEPPED DOWN FROM

THAT, BUT I'M -- YOU KNOW, I

DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS RETIREMENT

STUFF, BUT I'M CROWDING 92 IN

ANOTHER WEEK OR SO, AND I DON'T

FEEL LIKE RETIRING.

I THINK THE LORD'S GOT SOME MORE

FOR ME TO DO.

BUT YOU HAVE SOME TIME TO DO

SOME OTHER THINGS NOW THAT

YOU -- I KNOW YOU LOVE TO WORK,

BUT --

I CAN'T STAND NOT WORKING.

IT JUST DRIVES ME CRAZY.

BUT I DON'T HAVE TO GET UP IN

THE MORNING AND HAVE TO SAY BAD

THINGS ABOUT JOE BIDEN AND WHAT

A SCREW-UP THEY ARE, AND I

CRITICIZE ALL THESE PEOPLE.

THANK GOODNESS I DON'T HAVE TO

DO THAT.

THAT'S A RELIEF, FOR SURE.

THAT'S WHAT I'M RETIRED FROM.

DENNIS FROM PARAGOULD,

ARKANSAS.

GO AHEAD WITH YOUR QUESTION.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR PAT.

SHOULD I GO AHEAD AND PUT MY

GIVING AND TITHES ON A CREDIT

CARD WHEN MY BUDGET IS ALREADY

OVEREXTENDED AND IT WILL ONLY

ADD TO MY DEBT?

THANK YOU.

I BELIEVE THAT YOU DON'T WANT

TO JUST BORROW YOUR WAY.

I THINK GOD WILL SUPPLY FOR YOU,

BUT YOU GIVE OUT OF THE

ABUNDANCE OF WHAT HE'S PUT IN

YOUR HAND, AND YOU CAN -- I

MEAN, IF YOU REALLY FEEL A BURST

OF FAITH AND GENEROSITY, BORROW

TO DO THAT, THERE'S NOTHING

WRONG WITH THAT, BUT I WOULDN'T

RECOMMEND IT.

YOU'RE DEEP ENOUGH IN THE HOLE

WITHOUT ADDING TO IT.

BUT ASK GOD.

I MEAN, EVERY TIME YOU GIVE, YOU

GIVE SOMETHING OUT OF YOUR

EARNINGS AND YOU SAY, LORD, I'M

BELIEVING YOU THAT THIS IS GOING

TO BE A PROMISE, IT WILL BE A

SEA THAT WILL BE MULTIPLIED MANY

FOLD OVER.

GIVE AND IT WILL BE GIVEN UNTO

YOU, PRESS DOWN AND IT WILL HEAP

INTO YOUR BOSOM.

ISN'T THAT WHAT GOD SAID, WITH

TITHES AND OFFERINGS.

BUT HE DIDN'T SAY BORROW YOUR

WAY INTO BLESSING.

UNLESS YOU HAVE AN ANOINTING

FROM THE LORD TO DO THAT, I

WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT.

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD ADVICE.

KAREN FROM ROYAL OAK, MICHIGAN,

WITH THIS QUESTION FOR PAT.

MY QUESTION IS, GOD SET EVERY

ANIMAL IN FRONT OF ADAM AND HE

WAS SUPPOSED TO NAME THEM.

HOW DID HE KNOW WHAT TO NAME

THEM?

BECAUSE HE'D JUST BEEN CREATED

HIMSELF.

WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS THE

NICE THING ABOUT ADAM.

HE COULD CALL THEM ANYTHING HE

WANTED TO.

YOU KNOW, HE COULD LOOK AT A

MONKEY AND SAY HE'S A MONKEY.

WHY DO WE CALL THEM MONKEYS?

WELL, SOMEBODY DOES.

HOW COME A GIRAFFE IS A GIRAFFE?

ADAM SAID I'M GOING TO CALL HIM

A GIRAFFE.

HE DIDN'T KNOW WHO THEY WERE, SO

GOD SAYS YOU CAN CALL THEM

ANYTHING YOU WANT TO.

HE HAD A CLEAN SLATE, AND AWAY

HE WENT.

YEAH.

OTHER THAN THAT, I HAVE NO

KNOWLEDGE OF IT.

BUT THANKS FOR THAT QUESTION.

GREAT QUESTION.

ALL RIGHT.

COMING UP, ROUND TWO OF OUR

SPECIAL VOICE MAIL EDITION OF

"YOUR QUESTIONS, HONEST

ANSWERS," SO DON'T GO AWAY.

WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK WITH MORE

OF PAT.

.

> WELCOME BACK TO OUR SPECIAL

VOICE MAIL EDITION OF YOUR VOICE

MAIL QUESTIONS AND PAT'S HONEST

ANSWERS.

WE'RE STARTING ROUND TWO WITH

MILLEY FROM PHILADELPHIA.

ANOTHER PHILADELPHIAEN.

GO AHEAD.

JUST WONDERING, ARE WE LIVING

IN THE "APOCALYPSE NOW" ?

?

IF NOT, HOW DO WE PREPARE FOR

IT?

THE APOCALYPSE.

THE BIBLE USES THE TERM THE

APOCALYPSE.

ARE WE LIVING IN IT?

I DON'T THINK WE'RE LIVING IN

ANY KIND OF A DIFFICULT WE

WILL -- LOOK, THERE ARE BAD

THINGS GOING ON IN OUR WORLD ALL

THE TIME, AND JESUS SAID THERE

WILL BE WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS,

BUT THE END ISN'T YET.

WITH THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM

IS PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD FOR

A WITNESS, THEN THE END WILL

COME, BUT BEFORE THAT COMES, WE

WILL BE -- OF ALL NATIONS.

I DON'T KNOW OF TERMS LIKE

APOCALYPSE BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN

THE BIBLE, SO I DON'T USE THIS

TERM.

BUT I DO KNOW THAT BEFORE THE

END COMES, THIS GOSPEL OF THE

KING WILL BE PREACHED IN ALL OF

THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS, BUT

BEFORE THAT HAPPENS, YOU WILL BE

HATED OF ALL NATIONS BECAUSE OF

MY NAME.

AND SO CHRISTIANS ARE BEING

PERSECUTED ALL OVER THE WORLD,

AND IT IS TERRIBLE TO THINK OF.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, MANY OF THESE

PEOPLE WERE TOLD BEFORE ANY

TRIBULATION COMES, YOU'RE GOING

TO GET RAPTURED, AND SO THEY'VE

LOST THEIR FAITH, FOR EXAMPLE,

IN CHINA, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T

RAPTURED.

BUT JESUS SAID YOU'LL BE HATED

OF ALL NATIONS.

AND THIS GOSPEL WILL BE PREACHED

IN ALL THE WORLD, THEN THE END

IS GOING TO COME.

UP TO THAT TIME, YOU'RE GOING TO

SEE WARS, YOU'LL SEE FAMINES,

YOU'LL SEE EARTHQUAKES IN

VARIOUS PLACES.

OKAY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT

APOCALYPSE.

I COULD KEEP GOING.

I THINK THE LORD IS GIVING US

MORE TIME RIGHT NOW.

HE'S GIVING A LITTLE MORE

TIME.

I DO NOT BELIEVE, AND I'LL SAY

THIS VERY CLEARLY, THAT GOD IS

GOING TO PERMIT MANKIND TO TAKE

NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND BLOW THIS

PLANET UP.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO

HAPPEN.

BUT I DO THINK THAT AN ASTEROID

MIGHT WELCOME HURTLING THROUGH

SKIES.

THAT'S WHAT THE END OF THE AGE

HAD TO DO, AND I DO THINK WE

MIGHT ENCOUNTER ONE OF THOSE

THINGS.

BUT I DO THINK ALSO THE PROPHECY

IN EZEKIEL 38 IS GOING TO COME

TO PASS, BUT NOT ANY, QUOTE,

APOCALYPSE.

OKAY.

HERE'S MICHELLE FROM

SIMI VALLEY, CALIFORNIA.

GO AHEAD.

MY QUESTION IS, WAS THERE

RAIN ON EARTH BEFORE NOAH BUILT

THE ARK AND THERE WAS THE GREAT

FLOOD?

THANK YOU.

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO

QUESTION THE FACT THAT WHEN --

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WERE LIVING

BEFORE NOAH -- LIKE METHUSILA,

WHO WAS LIVING ALMOST A THOUSAND

AND I THINK MOISTURE, WE DID

HAVE MOISTURE IN THE EARTH

BECAUSE THERE WERE OCEANS, SO WE

HAD OCEANS BEFORE NOAH.

BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT

THE RAINFALL, THE MOISTURE THAT

CAME, THAT MAY WELL HAVE CREATED

THE BACTERIA AND STUFF TO BEGIN

TO TERMINATE HUMAN LIFE.

BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT AND I

DON'T THINK ANY OF US DO.

BUT THERE CLEARLY WAS WATER IN

THE EARTH BEFORE NOAH BECAUSE HE

WAS BUILDING AN ARK.

BUT THERE WERE THESE FAMINES OF

THE DEEP WERE CAST OVER AND

THERE WAS THIS DELUGE ON THE

WHOLE FACE OF THE EARTH.

THAT WAS A DIFFERENT MATTER WHEN

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT, BUT,

YES, THERE WAS OBVIOUSLY RAIN

BEFORE THAT.

GO AHEAD.

ALL RIGHT.

HERE'S A CALLER FROM DELAN,

FLORIDA.

GO AHEAD.

OKAY.

JUST WONDERING WHY

GOOD PEOPLE ALWAYS GET HURT.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

CAN YOU BRING IT TO MY ATTENTION

AND GIVE ME SOME UNDERSTANDING

ABOUT IT?

I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

THE DEVIL DOESN'T LIKE GOOD

PEOPLE, AND HE IS AN ENEMY OF

ALL OF US.

THE THING THAT SOME DON'T

UNDERSTAND, WE BRING THIS ON

OURSELVES.

I BIND YOU FROM THE FORCES OF

EVIL.

AND ALSO THE MAN WILL EAT GOOD

FROM THE FRUIT OF HIS LIPS.

YOUR CONFESSION, WHEN YOU START

THE DAY, ARE YOU GOING TO SAY, I

REALLY THINK I'M GOING TO HAVE

TROUBLE?

I REALLY BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A

CONSPIRACY AGAINST ME.

I REALLY BELIEVE SOMETHING BAD

IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

OR DO YOU SAY, I AM A VICTOR IN

THE NAME OF JESUS AND I'M GOING

TO OVERCOME ALL THAT'S THERE?

YOU'LL EAT GOOD BY THE FRUIT OF

YOUR LIPS.

I KNOW THIS ISN'T MIND OVER

MATTER OR ANYTHING, BUT THAT'S

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.

YOU NEED TO SPEAK THE WORD.

THE THING IS, I BIND YOU, SATAN,

AND THE FORCES OF EVIL AGAINST

YOU AND THEN WATCH WHAT BEGINS

TO HAPPEN.

AMEN, I LOVE THAT SCRIPTURE.

ASHLEY FROM WILMINGTON,

DELAWARE, HAS THIS QUESTION FOR

PAT.

I HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING

GOD IS LOVE AND THE BIBLE SAYS

THAT HE IS THE SAME TODAY,

YESTERDAY, AND FOREVER.

IF THIS IS THE CASE, THEN WHY IN

DEUTERONOMY 21 DOES GOD COMMAND

THAT CHILDREN WHO ARE REBELLIOUS

AND DISOBEDIENT BE STONED TO

DEATH.

AND THEN IN LUKE 15 JESUS TELLS

THE STORY OF THE PRODIGAL SON.

THEY SEEM SO OPPOSITE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THAT?

THE PRODIGAL SON, HIS FATHER

DIVIDED THE INHERITANCE, AND HE

WENT OUT AND WASTED IT WITH

RIOTUS LIVING.

HE WENT OUT WITH PROSTITUTES AND

GAVE AWAY ALL OF HIS MONEY AND

WOUND UP IN A PIG STY.

AND HE WOULD HAVE ENDED UP

EATING WHAT THE PIGS WERE

EATING.

THAT'S ONE.

YOU WERE ASKING ABOUT REBELLIOUS

CHILDREN.

AND THE BIBLE SAYS, LOOK, IF A

SON IS REBELLIOUS AND HE WILL

NOT TAKE DISCIPLINE, IF HE

CURSES HIS MOTHER AND FATHER, IF

HE'S JUST INTENT ON DOING EVIL,

YOU DON'T NECESSARILY JUST LEAVE

HIM ALONE, YOU TAKE HIM OUT AND

YOU STONE HIM TO DEATH.

NOW, YOU TELL ME ABOUT STOPPING

TEENAGE DELINQUENCY, THAT WOULD

DO IT IN A HEARTBEAT, BUT I

DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S ANY

PROBLEM WITH GOD SAYS HE IS

LOVING.

BUT, LIKE, HE'S A JUDGE.

AND, YOU KNOW, THERE HAS TO BE

SOME PUNISHMENT FOR SIN AND

EVIL, AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN GOD

DOESN'T LOVE PEOPLE, BUT IT

MEANS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A

NORMAL WORKING UNIVERSE, THERE

HAS TO BE REWARDS TO GOOD PEOPLE

AND PUNISHMENT FOR BAD PEOPLE.

AND GOD KNOWS HOW TO DO THAT.

BUT HE IS -- IN THE NATURE, HE

IS NOT JUST LOVING, HE IS LOVE

ITSELF.

AND THAT'S THE THING.

WE'LL NEVER KNOW LOVE UNTIL WE

KNOW GOD.

WE KNOW THE ESSENCE OF LOVE, HE

IS LOVE ITSELF, AND THAT'S HOW

WE LEARN LOVE.

BUT PART OF LOVE IS DISCIPLINE,

AND YOU ASKED ABOUT DISCIPLINE.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED IN

THE OLD TESTAMENT.

THAT DOESN'T NEGATE HIS LOVING

NATURE AT ALL.

IT JUST MEANS THAT'S WHAT

HAPPENS TO TEENAGERS WHO

MISBEHAVE.

AND LET ME TELL YOU, YOU TAKE

ONE KID OUT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

AND HIS PARENTS SAID HE WON'T

LISTEN TO US, HE CURSES HIS

MOTHER, HE BEATS UP HIS FATHER

AND MOTHER, HE'S REBELLIOUS, AND

THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO WITH

HIM.

THE PRODIGAL SON REPENTED.

HE WAS SORRY AND ASKED FOR

FORGIVENESS.

THE OTHER GUY DIDN'T ASK FOR ANY

FORGIVENESS AT ALL.

THAT'S IN THE BIBLE.

AND I'LL TELL YOU, YOU'D STOP AN

END TO DELINQUENCY, DRUG

ADDICTION, ALCOHOLISM AND ALL OF

THE REST IF SOME OF THOSE THINGS

WERE PUT INTO PRACTICE TODAY,

BUT DON'T PUT ME ON RECORD AS

STONING TEENAGERS.

THAT WOULD NOT BE -- THAT'S NOT

WHAT WE WOULD DO HERE IN

AMERICA.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT.

I THINK TOO MANY PARENTS TRY

TO BE FRIENDS, THEY TRY TO BE

FRIENDS WITH THEIR SONS AND

DAUGHTERS INSTEAD OF PARENTS AND

IT'S SUCH A FINE LINE.

AND THERE HAS TO BE

DISCIPLINE.

THE ONE IN THE BIBLE WAS THE

PARENTS COME WITH THE KID, THE

KID IS CURSING HIS PARENTS, HE'S

BEATING UP HIS MOTHER, AND HE

WON'T LISTEN TO ANY REBUKE OR

ANY DISCIPLINE.

ALL RIGHT.

NEXT QUESTION.

MICHELLE FROM CHI CYAHOGA

FILES, FALLS,

OHIO.

MY QUESTION IS, MY FRIEND HAD

AN ABORTION AND I'M WONDERING IF

I WILL SEE THAT BABY IN HEAVEN

ONE DAY.

THANK YOU.

THE BIBLE ISN'T CLEAR ABOUT

THAT, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN PEOPLE

WHO HAVE SEEN IN HEAVEN, YOU

KNOW, HEAVEN IS FOR REAL, THE

YOUNG MAN WENT TO HEAVEN AND HE

SAW HIS LITTLE ABORTED SISTER OR

SOMETHING, SHE'S GROWN UP.

SO WE HOPE THAT THE SOULS OF

THESE WONDERFUL, PRECIOUS

CHILDREN WILL LIVE ON.

BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP THE FACT

THAT IN MY OPINION ABORTION IS

MURDER, AND WE IN AMERICA HAVE

SLAUGHTERED ABOUT 60 MILLION

PRECIOUS CHILDREN THROUGH

ABORTION, AND "ROE V. WADE" WAS

AN ABOMINATION.

IT GAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO THIS

PROCEDURE, AND, YOU KNOW, SO --

DO YOU THINK WE'LL SEE IT

OVERTURNED?

YEAH, I THINK DEFINITELY,

THEY'RE DEFINITELY -- THEY'VE

GOT ENOUGH ON THE SUPREME COURT,

IF THEY HAVE AN APPROPRIATE

CASE, THEY'LL -- ROE WAS BARELY

DECIDED.

IT WAS DECIDED ON THAT CASE THAT

HAD TO DO WITH CONTRACEPTIVES,

RIGHT OF PRIVACY, AND THEN THEY

WENT INTO ALL THAT NONSENSE THAT

THEY CAME UP WITH THAT THERE ARE

THE NUMBERS IN THE FOURTEENTH

AMENDMENT THAT YOU HAVE A RIGHT

OF PRIVACY AND THEREFORE YOU

ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE AN

ABORTION.

I THINK "ROE V. WADE" IS

DEFINITELY GOING TO BE

OVERTURNED.

BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ROE IS

OVERTURNED?

IT MERELY MEANS IT'S NOT

FEDERALIZED, IT MEANS IT GOES

BACK TO THE STATES WHERE IT

SHOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT ALL ALONG.

DANIEL FROM SAN DIEGO,

CALIFORNIA, HAS THIS ONE FOR

PAT.

I'VE BEEN GREATLY BLESSED BY

YOUR BOOKS, SHOUT IT FROM THE

HOUSE TOPS.

BUT IT'S OUT OF PRINT.

IT HAS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE

DESCRIPTION OF CBN'S EARLY DAYS.

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED REPRINTING

IT?

WELL, THE OTHER BOOK THAT

I'VE GOT IS "I WALK WITH THE

LIVING GOD," WHICH REALLY

UPDATES AND HAS MORE COMPLETE

UNDERSTANDING.

BUT "SHOUT IT," JAMIE BUCKINGHAM

AND I WROTE THAT BOOK TOGETHER

AND IT WAS A REAL TREMENDOUS

BOOK AND I'M VERY PLEASED TO

HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

BUT, YES, IT IS OUT OF PRINT

AND -- BUT THE OTHER ONE, "I

WALK WITH THE LIVING GOD,"

UPDATES THAT AND IS MUCH MORE

COMPLETE.

I HAVE THE TABLETOP VERSION

OR COFFEE TABLE VERSION.

IT WAS A BIG BOOK.

YEAH.

BUT THEN YOU ALSO HAD IT IN

THE SMALLER SIZE.

WE HAD PHOTOGRAPHS IN THE

OTHER ONE.

BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, HIS NEW

BOOK WILL UPDATE YOU ON ALL OF

THAT.

OKAY.

HERE'S BURT FROM JACKSON,

MICHIGAN.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU

HAVE ANY IDEA WHY JESUS WOULD

HEAL SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT HE

HEALED, HE WOULD TELL THEM NOT

TO TELL ANYBODY.

THANK YOU.

WELL, LOOK, JESUS WAS

DESTINED TO DIE ON THE CROSS,

AND HE DIDN'T WANT PEOPLE TO

FOLLOW HIM BECAUSE HE WOULD FEED

THEM BREAD OR BECAUSE HE WOULD

HEAL THEIR DISEASES, BUT HE

WANTED TO FOLLOW THEM BECAUSE HE

WAS THE SON OF GOD AND HE WAS

SPEAKING THE WORD OF GOD.

SO HE KNEW THAT THEY WOULD

ATTRACT CROWDS WHEREVER HE WENT

AND FOR THE WRONG REASON.

THEY WOULD WANT TO MAKE HIM

KING.

DO YOU REMEMBER THEY TRIED TO

MAKE HIM KING.

HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE KING.

HE HAD TO DIE FOR YOU AND ME ON

THE CROSS TO PAY THE PRICE FOR

THE SINCE OF THE WHOLE WORLD.

AND UNTIL HE DID THAT, HE WAS

HERE TO REFLECT A PERFECT LIFE

LIVED UNDER THE POWER OF THE

HOLY SPIRIT, UNDER THE FATHER.

BUT HE DIDN'T WANT TO ATTRACT

CROWDS TO TRY TO MAKE HIM KING.

I THINK THAT WAS THE MAIN

REASON.

HE WANTED PEOPLE TO KEEP IT

QUIET.

HERE'S A CALLER FROM PHOENIX,

ARIZONA.

HELLO, PAT.

WE MISS YOU.

FIRST THING, WHAT'S YOUR OPINION

FOR ANY SCRIPTURE STATES WILL

EVERYONE HEAR THE TRUMPET SOUND

OR JUST THE ELECT?

THANK YOU.

THE APOSTLE PAUL TALKED ABOUT

THE TRUMPET WILL SOUND, THE DEAD

IN CHRIST WILL RISE, AND IN

THEYS LOANIANS WHERE YOU

WILL FIND THAT, THE TRUMPET WILL

SOUND AND THE DEAD WILL RISE.

AND IN THE REVELATION WILL HAVE

ALL KINDS OF TRUMPETS GOING OFF.

AND I THINK THAT'S CLEAR IN THE

WRITINGS OF THE APOSTLE PAUL.

I THINK EVERYONE IS GOING TO

HEAR IT.

WHEN THE LORD COMES BACK.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THIS BUSINESS

ABOUT SECRETS SLIPPING AWAY AND

THEN SEVEN YEARS LATER HIM

COMING BACK, THE BIBLE SAYS THE

TRUMPET WILL SOUND, THE DEAD IN

CHRIST WILL RISE.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S PART OF THE

MESSIAH, IF YOU LISTEN TO THE

MUSIC IN THE MESSIAH, THE

TRUMPET WILL SOUND, THE DEAD

WILL RISE INCORRUPTIBLE.

THAT'S EXCITING.

BRENDA FROM CALIFORNIA, WITH

THIS QUESTION FOR PAT.

I HAVE A QUESTION.

WHY DID THEY SAY THAT CHRIST HAD

PRETTY MUCH CURED THEM, BUT

JESUS HAD ALREADY COME AND THE

GRAPES WERE ALREADY HERE, SO WHY

WERE THEY ALLOWED TO DIE?

IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN THAT, I

WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE EARLY

CLUTCH WAS UNDER A STRICTURE TO

LIVE A VERY HOLY LIFE, AND THE

IDEA IS DO YOU ALLOW DECEPTION.

AND WHAT THEY WERE DOING IS THEY

WERE LYING.

AS PETER SAID, LOOK, WHEN YOU

SOLD THIS LAND, WAS THE MONEY

YOURS?

YEAH.

WELL, YOU COULD HAVE DONE WITH

IT ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO.

YES, WE COULD HAVE.

THEN WHY DID YOU ACT LIKE YOU

WERE BEING GENEROUS WHEN REALLY

YOU WEREN'T?

AND THAT WAS THE IDEA.

YOU KNOW, THEY HELD BACK A

PORTION, BUT ACTED LIKE THEY

WERE SOMEHOW GENEROUS, AND IN

THE EARLY CHURCH, GOD DIDN'T

WANT TO HAVE IMPURITY AND LIES

AT THE FOUNDATION AND THE

BEGINNING OF THE CHURCH.

AND SO THE HOLY SPIRIT, HE SAID

YOU DIDN'T LIE TO MAN, YOU LIED

TO THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD.

AND IN THOSE DAYS, THERE WAS

SWIFT RETRIBUTION AGAINST THAT.

THAT'S GREAT QUESTIONS TODAY.

WONDERFUL QUESTIONS.

AMAZING ONES.

STILL AHEAD, WE'VE GOT MORE OF

YOUR VOICE MAIL QUESTIONS.

ROUND THREE OF THIS SPECIAL

EDITION OF YOUR QUESTIONS,

HONEST ANSWERS.

YOU MIGHT BE UP NEXT.

STAY TUNED.

.

> WELCOME BACK TO THE 700

CLUB.

THIS IS OUR FINAL ROUND OF THE

SPECIAL SHOW, YOUR VOICE MAIL

QUESTIONS AND PAT'S HONEST

ANSWERS.

WE'RE SO BLESSED TO HAVE PAT

WITH US TODAY.

WE'RE GOING TO START WITH JOHN

ON THIS FINAL ROUND.

HE'S FROM ROCKFORD, WASHINGTON.

I WAS WONDERING, WHY DID GOD

DECIDE TO SPLIT UP THE LAND ON

EARTH AND GIVE PEOPLE DIFFERENT

LANGUAGES?

WELL, YOU KNOW, THE STORY OF

THE TOWER OF BABEL, THE NATIONS

WERE UNITED AGAINST GOD AND THEY

WERE BUILDING A TOWER THAT WOULD

ACTUALLY REACH UP TO HEAVEN TO

TAKE CONTROL.

AND THAT WAS THE WHOLE IDEA, AND

I THINK MORE AND MORE WHEN THE

NATIONS OF THE EARTH COME

TOGETHER, THEY COME IN

OPPOSITION TO GOD.

IT'S AMAZING.

WHEN THE NATIONS UNITE, THEY

UNITE NOT FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS, BUT

FOR THE OTHER WAY.

SO THEY WERE BUILDING A TOWER,

AND GOD CAME DOWN AND LOOKED AND

HE SAID, THESE PEOPLE HAVE ONE

MIND AND ONE PURPOSE, AND NOW

NOTHING THEY PROPOSE TO DO WILL

BE IMPOSSIBLE TO THEM.

SO WHAT I'M GOING TO DO, I'M

GOING TO MAKE IT HARD FOR THEM

TO AGREE ON THINGS, SO I'M GOING

TO GIVE THEM DIFFERENT

LANGUAGES.

AND IT WAS BABEL, THE TOWER OF

BABEL WHERE THE LANGUAGES WERE

SPLIT.

BUT THAT'S WHY, BECAUSE YOU SEE

IT IN TODAY'S WORLD.

WHEN THEY COME TOGETHER, THE

NATIONS OF THE EARTH, THEY'RE

TRYING TO GET IT ALL BACK

TOGETHER AGAIN.

BUT WHEN THEY DO, IT ALMOST

INVARIABLY HAS TO DO WITH GIVING

A PLATFORM TO SATAN RATHER THAN

GLORY TO GOD.

AND IN TODAY'S WORLD, THE SAME

THING.

BUT GOD WOULD NOT LET IT HAPPEN

BECAUSE THEY WERE DOING IT IN

REBELLION AGAINST HIM.

THANKS, PAT.

HERE'S LYNN FROM TEXAS WITH THIS

QUESTION FOR PAT.

WHEN GOD CREATED THE GARDEN

OF EDEN AND ADAM AND EVE AND THE

ANIMALS, WERE ADAM AND EVE ABLE

TO TALK TO THE ANIMALS WHEN THEY

WERE IN THE GARDEN WITH THEM?

IN THE STORY THERE WAS A MAN

WHO WOULD TALK TO THE ANIMALS.

YOU KNOW, I'M A GREAT HORSE

LOVER.

I TRAIN HORSES.

AND HORSES ARE TERRIFICALLY

SENSITIVE TO YOUR MOOD.

AND I DO BELIEVE WHEN YOU'RE

RIDING A HORSE, AT LEAST THAT'S

WHAT'S BEEN TOLD TO ME, IF YOU

CAN THINK IN PICTURES -- I KNOW

THIS SOUNDS A LITTLE WAY OUT,

BUT I'M A SKILLED RIDER, I WAS

RIDING HIGH LEVEL DRESSAGE, IF

YOU CAN THINK IN PICTURES BEFORE

YOU ASK A HORSE TO DO A

PARTICULAR THING, HE WILL

RESPOND TO YOU.

BUT IT'S A LITTLE ROUGH WHEN

YOU'RE UP ON THE BIG THING TO

JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES.

BUT IF YOU CAN THINK IN

PICTURES.

THE ANSWER IS THE ANIMALS COULD

RESPOND TO HUMAN BEINGS BECAUSE

THEY ARE VERY SENSITIVE.

YOU REALLY THINK THAT WORKS?

HUH?

DID THAT WORK FOR YOU?

OH, ABSOLUTELY.

WOW.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR A

PARTICULAR MOVEMENT, IF YOU CAN

VISUALIZE WHAT YOU WANT HIM TO

DO, IT WILL MAKE IT SO MUCH

EASIER.

WOW, CRAZY.

THEY'RE VERY, VERY SENSITIVE.

THE SLIGHTEST THING, BECAUSE

THEY'RE HERD ANIMALS.

ONE OF OUR BEST BECAUSE THERE

ARE CERTAIN CREATURES, BUT

HORSES, AND I THINK DOGS ARE THE

SAME THING.

DOGS CAN SENSE YOUR MOOD, AND,

YOU KNOW, THE STORIES OF DOGS

WHO CAN SENSE WHEN THEIR OWNERS

ARE SICK AND HAVING TROUBLE.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST REMARKABLE.

YES.

SO THEY ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO

OUR MOODS AND I THINK A DOG

PARTICULARLY, HE WILL KNOW

EXACTLY WHAT YOUR MOOD IS.

BUT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT SPEAKING

THE LANGUAGE TO THEM.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF

THAT IN THE BIBLE AT ALL.

ALL RIGHT.

HERE'S GEORGE FROM FRANKFURT,

ILLINOIS.

JESUS CAME DOWN AND WROTE

WITH HIS FINGER ON THE GROUND.

HE DOESN'T TELL US WHAT HE

WROTE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK JESUS WROTE?

THIS YOU.

AT THE RISK OF BEING CALLED A

HERETIC, THAT PORTION OF THE

BIBLE IS REALLY NOT IN THE

BETTER MANUSCRIPTS.

IT'S A NICE STORY.

THERE'S A WOMAN TAKEN IN

ADULTERY AND WHAT HE WROTE, BUT

WHAT HE SAID WAS THEY WANTED TO

STONE THE WOMAN, AND HE SAID

THOSE THAT ARE WITHOUT SIN, LET

THEM CAST THE FIRST STONE.

THAT'S A MARVELOUS STORY, BUT IT

IS NOT IN THE BETTER MANUSCRIPTS

THAT HAVE BEEN TRANSLATED INTO

THE BIBLE.

WOW.

AMAZING.

SO DO I KNOW WHAT HE WROTE?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SAID HE

WAS WRITING THE TEN

COMMANDMENTS.

I DON'T THINK SO.

BUT HE DID SAY GO AND SIN NO

MORE.

THAT, AGAIN, THAT WHOLE STORY

IS NOT IN THE BETTER

MANUSCRIPTS, BUT HE SAID HE WHO

IS WITHOUT SIN, YOU WANT TO

STONE HER TO DEATH, YOU HAVEN'T

GOT ANY SIN IN YOUR LIFE, HERE'S

THE FIRST STONE.

YOU THROW IT.

AND THEY ALL WENT AWAY BECAUSE

THEY'RE ALL SINNERS.

BUT THAT'S A WONDERFUL STORY,

BUT IT ISN'T IN THE BETTER

MANUSCRIPTS.

ALL RIGHT.

HERE'S ELISE FROM BOTsFORD,

BRITISH COLUMBIA, WITH THIS

QUESTION FOR PAT.

I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE

STORY OF HOW THE 700 CLUB

ORIGINALLY WAS NAMED THE 700

CLUB.

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU.

IT'S A GREAT STORY.

I'VE TOLD IT MANY TIMES.

IN THE EARLY DAYS, WE FIGURED

OUR BUDGET FOR THE -- FOR

OPERATING THE MINISTRY WAS $700

A MONTH TOTAL, TO RUN

EVERYTHING.

WOW.

AND SO I WANTED 70 PEOPLE TO

GIVE $10 A MONTH.

AND SO IT WAS 700.

AND SO WE CALLED IT THE 700 CLUB

BECAUSE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A

NIGHTCLUB AND SORT OF HAD A NICE

RING TO IT.

SO THAT'S -- AND THEN WE STARTED

AFTER THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS

RERIVAL, I MEAN A TREMENDOUS

REVIVAL, WE STARTED A PROGRAM

THEN, WE HAD A PROGRAM CALLED

THE 700 CLUB PROGRAM, AND THAT

HAS GONE ON AND IT'S ACTUALLY

PAVED THE WAY FOR A WHOLE TYPE

OF INTERACTIVE PROGRAMMING WHERE

PEOPLE COULD CALL IN AND HAVE

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS JUST LIKE

WE'RE DOING NOW, AND WE COULD

PRAY FOR PEOPLE AND THEY COULD

GET ANSWERS.

SO IT'S BEEN A MARVELOUS WAY OF

PUTTING ON PROGRAMMING.

WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO

PROGRAMMING.

GOD KNOWS BETTER THAN WE DID.

BUT THAT 700 CLUB HAS BECOME THE

FOUNDATION OF PROGRAMMING ALL

OVER THE WORLD.

IT'S BEING USED IN EVERY

LANGUAGE.

AND HERE WE ARE 60 YEARS

LATER.

60 YEARS LATER.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

DANIELLE FROM EDGEWOOD, NEW

MEXICO.

GO AHEAD.

HI, PAT.

PAT, WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY

ABOUT SERVING COMMUNION?

IS IT ONLY FOR THE MEMBERS OF A

CHURCH OR CAN IT BE OBSERVED

WHEN SMALL GROUPS GATHER

TOGETHER OUTSIDE THE CHURCH?

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.

WELL, I THINK WHEN TWO OF YOU

GATHER TOGETHER IN MY NAME,

THERE I AM IN THE MIDST OF THEM.

SO THERE ISN'T ANYTHING AT ALL

WRONG WITH HAVING COMMUNION.

USED TO BE IT WAS THE LORD'S

SUPPER.

AND AFTER THE SUPPER WAS OVER,

HE TOOK BREAD AND WINE AND HE

SAID, YOU KNOW, THIS BREAD IS MY

BODY BROKEN FOR YOU AND THIS

WINE IS THE NEW COVENANT IN MY

BLOOD.

SO I THINK TO SHARE IT IN A

SMALL GROUP AT HOME IS PROPERLY

GOOD AND PROPER.

AMEN.

I LIKE TO DO IT AT HOME AS WELL.

GLORIA FROM REDDING,

PENNSYLVANIA.

GO AHEAD.

MY QUESTION FOR PAT IS, WHERE

DID THE GIANTS COME FROM?

YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF

PEOPLE WHO TALK ABOUT ALL THAT

STUFF.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE CASE,

BUT THERE WAS A RACE OF PEOPLE

THAT GOLIATH CAME FROM WHO WERE

7 FEET TALL OR SO.

I JUST DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T THINK THAT THEY WERE THE

CHILDREN OF ANGELS AND THAT'S

WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.

BUT WE REALLY DON'T KNOW, BUT

THERE WERE SEVERAL PEOPLE NAMED

IN THE BIBLE WHO WERE BIG LIKE

THAT, AND THEN THERE WAS ONE

RACE OF PEOPLE THAT WERE QUITE

LARGE, BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE IN

THIS BUSINESS THAT THEY WERE THE

CHILDREN OF ANGELS.

I DON'T BUY THAT PART AT ALL.

BUT WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?

THE BIBLE DOESN'T TELL US.

WE LEAVE YOU --

I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY IT'S

BEEN MARVELOUS TO HAVE YOU HERE

TODAY.

IT'S BEEN FUN TO BE WITH YOU.

I WANT TO LEAVE YOU WITH THE

WORDS FROM HEBREWS, LET US HOLD

TO THE WORDS WE PROFESS FOR HE

PROMISES HIS FAITHFUL.

IT WAS A DELIGHT TO BE WITH YOU

TODAY, AND TOMORROW THERE'S A

FANTASTIC PROGRAM ABOUT HEALING.

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THAT.

WENDY, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE,

AND, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THANK

YOU FOR SHARING WITH ME MY FUN.
