> WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

THE NEW WHITE HOUSE PRESS

SECRETARY TAKES OVER TODAY.

THIS IS THE FIRST HAITIAN TO

HOLD THIS KEY POSITION AND THE

FIRST LGBTQ+ PERSON.

THIS CHOICE HAS CREATED A

HOARD OF CONTROVERSY,

ESPECIALLY AMONG THE PRO-ISRAEL

COMMUNITY.

TARA MERGENER BRINGS US THE

DETAILS.

Reporter: IT IS THE PRESS

SECRETARY'S JOB TO SPEAK FOR

THE WHITE HOUSE, TO TRY TO

MANAGE THE MEDIA.

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN THE LATEST

PICKS, HOWEVER, IS MAKING

HEADLINES HERSELF.

THIS IS A HISTORIC MOMENT

AND IT IS NOT LOST ON ME.

Reporter: A FORMER CHIEF OF

STAFF TO KAMALA HARRIS, THEY

HAVE BEEN PROMOTED IN WHAT IS

REGARDED AS THE MOST OF HER

ADMINISTRATION IN U.S. HISTORY.

SHE WILL BE THE FIRST BLACK

WOMAN, THE FIRST LGBTQ+ PERSON

TO SERVE IN THIS ROLE.

SHE WILL BE THE VOICE TO SO

MANY.

BORN AND RAISED IN QUEENS,

SHE HAS A LONG CAREER IN

DEMOCRATIC COMMUNICATIONS.

SHE SUCCEEDS JEN PSAKI, WHO IS

TAKING A ROLE AT ENDED DASHED

-- THEY ARE BRINGING THE

INTEGRITY AND TALENT NEEDED FOR

THIS DIFFICULT JOB.

IT IS ONE THAT ALSO COMES AT A

DIFFICULT TIME FOR THE

ADMINISTRATION, A VETERAN OF

TWO PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS, THE

44-YEAR-OLD NOW TAKES ON THE

CHALLENGE OF CONVEYING THE

ADMINISTRATION'S MESSAGE AS

MIDTERM ELECTIONS LOOM.

I'M LOOKING AROUND AND I AM

LIKE

-- HIS PLUMMET IS --

Reporter: JOHN PIERRE KNOWS

THE IMPACT ON POLITICS AND IS

USING IT IN HER PAST ROLE AS A

DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST.

DONALD TRUMP DOES NOT REALLY

CARE ABOUT THE COUNTRY.

Reporter: SHE HAS RECEIVED

PRIZE FOR HER POSITION AND NOT

EVERYONE IS EMBRACING PRESIDENT

JOE BIDEN'S PICK.

THIS FORMER AMBASSADOR TWEETED,

I MISSED ALL THE CELEBRATION OF

BIDEN'S NEW PRESS SECRETARY.

THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA FORGOT TO

MENTION THAT SHE HATES ISRAEL.

I REALLY THINK SHE HAS A

TRACK RECORD OF MAKING ANTI-

ISRAEL STATEMENTS.

AS AN EXAMPLE, SHE HAS ACCUSED

ISRAEL OF COMMITTING WAR

CRIMES, QUOTE, UNQUOTE.

Reporter: AS A SPOKESPERSON

FOR THIS ORGANIZATION, SHE

WROTE A SCATHING OP-ED IN

NEWSWEEK, ENDORSING THE BOYCOTT

OF A BIPARTISAN GROUP.

THEY ADVOCATE FOR A STRONG

U.S./ISRAEL RELATIONSHIP.

SHE ALSO ACCUSED THE

COMMITTEE -- ENGAGING IN RACISM

AND ISLAMOPHOBIA.

ONE WONDERS WHETHER SHE WILL BE

CAPABLE OF BEING OBJECTIVE.

Reporter: CRITICS CHARGE HER

MARRIAGE TO THIS ANGER IS A

CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN THE

POSITION, ALTHOUGH A SIMILAR

ARRANGEMENT HAPPENED DURING THE

OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WITH JOE

CARNEY.

CNN HAS SIDELINED HER FROM

COVERING POLITICS AND THE WHITE

HOUSE FOR NOW.

IT SHOULD NOT MATTER BUT IT

DOES.

WHY DOES IT MATTER?

BECAUSE WE ARE IN A POLITICAL

CLIMATE AND THE MEDIA CLIMATE

THAT IS SO POLARIZED.

THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS ANY

APPEARANCE OF CONFLICT OF

INTEREST.

OR A HISTORY OF PUSHING

DISINFORMATION AS CRITICS POINT

TO TWEETS LIKE THIS ONE, SENT

SHORTLY AFTER PRESIDENT DONALD

TRUMP WON THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL

ELECTION.

SHE CALLED IT STOLEN AND MADE A

SIMILAR CLAIM REGARDING STACEY

ABRAMS FOLLOWING THE 20 18th

GOVERNOR'S RACE IN GEORGIA.

THERE NEEDS TO BE A MEASURE

OF CREDIBILITY AND SHE WENT ON

THE RECORD, DECLARING SUCH

THINGS AND -- THAT SHE IS THIS

SECRET WINNER OF THE

GUBERNATORIAL RACE.

THAT CREDIBILITY IS VERY,

SEVERELY, IRREPARABLY GONE.

Reporter: THEY HAVE THE

POWER TO SHAPE THE PRESIDENTIAL

AGENDA AND PUBLIC PERCEPTION.

HER SUPPORTERS SAY THAT SHOWS

THE POWER OF THE POST.

IN WASHINGTON, TARA MERGENER,

CBN NEWS.

IT IS BREEZY AMAZING.

HER PARENTS ARE HAITIAN AND HER

FATHER DRIVES A TAXI AND HER

MOTHER CARED FOR THE ELDERLY

AND THEY STRUGGLED IN AMERICA.

SHE WAS BORN HERE AND SPENT

TIMES IN CLEAN. THEY ARE TRYING

TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE FOR A

STRUGGLING FAMILY.

THEN THE RELIGIOUS DIVIDE

WITHIN THE FAMILY.

THE FATHER IS A STAUNCH ROMAN

CATHOLIC AND THE MOTHER IS A

BAPTIST PENTECOSTAL, AND THEY

WERE TAUGHT IN A CATHOLIC

SCHOOL.

IT IS AN AMAZING LEGACY AND AN

AMAZING AMOUNT OF ENERGY AND

TALENT AND.

GREAT TO WHERE SHE IS TODAY BUT

IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT FOR HER.

IT IS DIFFERENT WHEN YOU ARE

WITH MOVEON.ORG AND YOU'RE IN A

CAMPAIGN POSITION, IF YOU TAKE

THAT VIEWPOINT INTO THE OFFICE

OF THE PRESS SECRETARY, GET

READY FOR THE FIRESTORM

CAMPAIGNING.

IT IS NOT GOING TO BE RECEIVED

WELL IN THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS

ROOM.

> AFTER 20 YEARS OF DROUGHT,

WILDFIRES ARE NOW SCORCHING THE

REST OF THE U.S. JOHN JESSUP

HAS THAT STORY FROM OUR CBN

NEWS BUREAU IN WASHINGTON.

Reporter: THEY HAVE IT

MULTIPLE STATES, LEADING TO

EVACUATIONS IN COLORADO SPRINGS

AND DEVASTATION OF COASTAL

CALIFORNIA AS A FIRESTORM HIT

THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IN ORANGE

COUNTY.

THEY HAVE LITTLE TIME TO

PREPARE AND 20 HOMES WERE

DESTROYED.

A MAJOR WILDFIRE HAS ALSO

TORCHED ANOTHER STATE, AS

HEATHER SELLS REPORTS IT HAS

BEEN STRENGTHENED BY OTHER

NATURAL CONDITIONS.

Reporter: THE COUNTRY IS

RAVAGED -- THOUSANDS HAVE FLED

THIS NATURAL DISASTER, FED BY

DECADES OF DROUGHT, RISING

TEMPERATURES, AND STRONG WINDS.

THEY SAY FIREFIGHTERS FACE

MULTIPLE CHALLENGES.

IT IS NOT OUR FRIEND.

THEY HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE

WORST THAT WE HAVE SEEN.

Reporter: FIRES HAVE BEEN

BURNING IN NEW MEXICO FOR

WEEKS.

IN EARLY APRIL, THIS PASTOR WAS

RACING TO PICK UP HIS CHILDREN

FROM SCHOOL DURING THE McBRIDE

FIRE IN THE MOUNTAIN TOWN RIGHT

HERE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE RUNNING

TO GET THEIR KIDS.

Reporter: IT SIMPLY GUTTED

NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE THIS ONE,

WHERE A DOZEN OR SO HOMES ARE

SIMPLY GONE.

MORE THAN 200 FAMILIES LOST

THEIR HOMES HERE.

LOCAL CHURCHES AND RELIEF ARE

HELPING THEM SIFT THROUGH THE

ASHES AND CLEAR DEBRIS.

WE DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO

BEGIN.

IT IS OVERWHELMING PEOPLE.

IT IS A BASIC NEED, WHERE WE

CAN HELP THEM.

Reporter: THE NATIONAL

WEATHER SERVICE SAYS IN

ADDITION TO MEXICO, PARTS OF

ARIZONA, COLORADO, AND TEXAS

FACE EXTREME FIRE DANGER RIGHT

NOW.

THAT IS MAINLY DUE TO WIND AND

LOW HUMIDITY.

OTHER VISIBLE SIGNS OF THIS

MEGA-DROUGHT INCLUDE LAKE MEADE

AND LAKE POWELL, AND THEY

SUPPLY WATER FOR 40 MILLION

PEOPLE AND IS AT ITS LOWEST

LEVEL SINCE 1937.

BOTH RESERVOIRS ARE DOWN TO 30%

CAPACITY.

IT IS ONE REASON WHY SOUTHERN

CALIFORNIA NEEDS TO CUT WATER

USE BY A THIRD.

THE PROLONGED DROUGHT PUTS THE

SPOTLIGHT ON WATER CONSERVATION,

PREVENTION, AND MORE.

IN AREAS LIKE THIS AREA, THE

FOCUS IS ON REBUILDING, WHICH

CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR

MINISTRY AS WELL.

REPORTING IN NEW MEXICO,

HEATHER SELLS, CBN NEWS.

> TURNING NOW TO THE FALLOUT

FROM RUSSIA'S INVASION OF

UKRAINE, MOSCOW IS THREATENING

RETALIATION AFTER FINLAND

ANNOUNCES THEY WANT TO JOIN

NATO.

THE KREMLIN WARNED IT MAY TAKE

WHAT IT CALLED, QUOTE, MILITARY

TECHNICAL STEPS AND ON THE

BATTLEFIELD ITSELF, UKRAINIAN

SOLDIERS ARE STILL HOLDING OFF

RUSSIAN FORCES AT THAT BESIEGED

STEEL PLANT IN MARIUPOL.

IT IS ONE OF MANY CLASHES

POINTING TO WHAT IS LIKELY A

PROLONGED WAR THAT COULD

STRETCH INTO NEXT YEAR.

THE UNITED NATIONS SAYS MORE

THAN 6 MILLION UKRAINIANS HAVE

NOW FLED THEIR COUNTRY WITH

WELL OVER 3 MILLION GOING TO

POLAND.

WHEN THOSE REFUGEES CROSS OVER

INTO THE POLISH BORDER, CBN IS

THERE TO HELP THEM, PROVIDING

FOOD, A BED, AND THE GOSPEL.

Reporter: TO BE HERE IN THIS

HOUSE TODAY WITH ORPHAN'S

PROMISE AND OPERATION BLESSING

AND THESE MINISTRIES -- TO SEE

THE IMPACTS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO

HAVE HERE IS MIND BLOWING.

WE ARE ABLE TO FEED, HOUSE,

SPREAD THE CULTURE.

WE ARE ABLE TO BE THE HANDS AND

FEET AND HOLD THEIR HANDS AS

THEY COME ACROSS THE BORDER.

WE KNOW THE CULTURE AND KNOW

WHERE THEY ARE COMING TO AND WE

ARE ABLE -- WE CAN MAKE SURE

THEY HAVE A BED AND THEY HAVE

FOOD AND FELLOWSHIP.

THEY CAN SHARE THE GOSPEL.

THESE PEOPLE ARE COMING IN AND

THEY WANT TO KNOW GOD.

THEY WANT TO KNOW -- THEY ARE

ABLE TO GET HERE AND THROUGH

OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH A LOCAL

CHURCH, THERE ARE SO MANY OF

THEM ACCEPTING JESUS.

THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM BEING

BAPTIZED IN BATHTUBS.

I COULD SPEND ALL DAY TELLING

YOU THE STORIES.

IT IS AN HONOR AND A BLESSING

TO BE HERE AND HEAR WHAT IS

GOING ON AND IT IS THANKS TO

YOU.

WE COULD NOT BE STANDING HERE

RIGHT NOW, HELPING THESE

REFUGEES, IF IT WAS NOT FOR

YOU.

SO PLEASE, THINK ABOUT HOW YOU

CAN HELP AND HOW YOU CAN

PARTNER WITH US BECAUSE THE

NEED IS GREATER AND THERE ARE

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF

REFUGEES IN THE CITY ALONE.

WE CAN DO IT WITH YOUR HELP.

THANK YOU.

> OPERATION BLESSING IS

HELPING TO MAKE THIS SPIRITUAL

AND THE GREAT PHYSICAL AND

EMOTIONAL NEED PROGRAM.

POLAND -- BECAUSE OF YOU, WE

ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE THIS

WONDERFUL RELIEF TO THE

REFUGEES FLEEING THE WAR IN

UKRAINE.

THROUGHOUT THE REGION, WE ARE

IN POLAND OR IN UKRAINE, IN THE

COUNTRIES SURROUNDING UKRAINE.

WE HAVE ALL THESE CENTERS.

ORPHAN'S PROMISE CENTERS THAT

HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED OVER THE

PAST TWO DECADES, THEY ARE

OPERATIONAL NOW, PROVIDING FOOD

AND SHELTER AND HELP TO PEOPLE

IN NEED AND THEN THE REFUGEE

CENTERS IN POLAND, THEY ARE ALL

THE WAY TO CROATIA AND IT IS

ALL BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU

CARED ENOUGH TO GIVE AND CARE

ENOUGH TO GIVE TO BE A PART OF

THIS, SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CARE, FOR

YOUR LOVE, FOR YOUR CONCERN,

FOR THOSE IN NEED.

> TWO SKULL FRACTURES AND

BLEEDING IN THE BRAIN.

THE LEAD SINGER OF THIS BAND

SUFFERS A NASTY FALL.

WATCH AS HE DEFIES THE DOCTORS

AND MAKES A COMPLETE RECOVERY.

> UP NEXT, GRAB YOUR BIBLE

AND PUT ON YOUR VR HEADSET.

THE NEW MISSION FIELD FOR THE

CHURCH IS THE META-VERSE.

IT COULD BE THE MAIN WAY WE DO

CHURCH BY THE END OF THE

DECADE.

CBN NEWS GOES INTO THIS VIRTUAL

NEWS RIGHT AFTER THIS.

> IT IS NOT YOUR USUAL CHURCH

SERVICE.

IT IS NOT EVEN YOUR USUAL

LIVESTREAM SERVICE.

THE PANDEMIC HAS FORCED PEOPLE

TO THINK OUT-OF-THE-BOX AND

INTO THE META-VERSE.

JOHN JESSUP BRINGS US THE

STORY.

Reporter: YOU HAVE PROBABLY

HEARD ABOUT THE META-VERSE BUT

WHAT IS IT AND HOW DO YOU GET

THERE?

WE ARE ABOUT TO SHOW YOU HOW IT

ALL WORKS.

WE ARE GOING TO CHURCH, UNLIKE

YOU HAVE EVER SEEN IT BEFORE.

IT MAY LOOK LIKE ANIMATION, BUT

THE CHARACTERS ON YOUR SCREEN

ARE NOT CARTOON PIXELS PLAYING

CHURCH.

THEY REPRESENT REAL PEOPLE

WORSHIPING IN THE WORLD OF

VIRTUAL REALITY.

Reporter: THIS IS CHURCH IN

THE META-VERSE, WHERE USERS IN

THE REAL WORLD WHERE VR

HEADSETS TO GUIDE THEIR AVATAR

SELVES INTO A SIMULATED,

IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE, AND IT IS

GAINING EXPERIENCE AMONG THE

CURIOUS AND THE FAITHFUL.

IT IS A RICH ENVIRONMENT.

Reporter: LIFE CHURCH NOW

HAS A CAMPUS IN THE META-VERSE

TO ADD TO IS 40 OTHER LOCATIONS.

WE HAVE TO DO SOME THINGS NO

ONE ELSE IS DOING.

GOD IS PART OF OUR DNA.

WE HAVE NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND

NEW PLATFORMS THAT THE META-

VERSE IS GIVING TODAY.

WE WANT THEM TO LEARN AND

UNDERSTAND.

ARE YOU COMING?

Reporter: THEY HAVE GAINED

ATTRACTION AND LEGITIMACY ON

FACEBOOK, WITH MAJOR PLAYERS

RIGHT HERE.

EVEN HEALTHCARE IS LINING UP TO

UNLEASH ITS POTENTIAL.

LAST YEAR, PEOPLE DROPPED MORE

THAN $500 MILLION TO GET A

PIECE OF THE REAL ESTATE OF THE

META-VERSE.

WHILE SOME SEE IT AS A REVENUE

GENERATOR, A GROWING NUMBER OF

FAITH LEADERS BELIEVE IT IS

JUST ANOTHER PLATFORM TO

PROMOTE THE GOSPEL.

THERE IS A SHIFT, WHERE

THERE IS FRINGE TECHNOLOGY, A

FRENCH EXPERIENCE, THAT IS

BECOMING MAINSTREAM.

Reporter: D.J.

SOTO LAUNCHED VR CHURCH AND

PREDICTS A PLACE IN THE META-

VERSE WILL BECOME JUST AS

COMMON AS WEBSITES AND SOCIAL

MEDIA ARE TODAY.

BY 2030, YOUR MINISTRY IS

WITH A CHURCH WILL BE IN THE

META-VERSE.

Reporter: HE POINTS TO

ANOTHER MAJOR BENEFIT.

WHEN YOU START TO EXPERIENCE

CHURCH IN THE META-VERSE, YOU

START TO SEE THIS WHOLE WORLD

OF FORGOTTEN PEOPLE WHO WANT TO

BE PART OF A SPIRITUAL

COMMUNITY BUT MAYBE THEY DO NOT

HAVE A WAY TO BE CONNECTED TO

ONE.

Reporter: THAT HITS HOME FOR

ALINA DELP.

I JUST CRIED THE FIRST TWO

SERVICES.

Reporter: A FORMER

THRILLSEEKER AND ATTEND INCOME

SHE HAS BEEN CONFINED TO A RARE

CONDITION.

FOR HER, STREAMING HAD ITS

LIMITATIONS.

YOU CAN WATCH OTHERS BE PART

OF A CHURCH BUT YOU COULD NOT

REALLY BE A PART OF THE CHURCH

AND, IF ANYTHING, THAT JUST SAT

ME.

Reporter: THIS GAVE HER A

SENSE OF COMMUNITY.

SHE INITIALLY VOLUNTEERED AS A

GREETER AND ATTENDED A SMALL

GROUP AFTER ENROLLING IN

SEMINARY.

SHE IS NOW PART OF A PASTORAL

TEAM, MINISTERING TO PEOPLE

FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND

FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE.

IN VR, PEOPLE ARE VERY OPEN

ABOUT WHERE THEY ARE.

THERE IS NOT A FACADE.

THEY DO NOT PUT ON THEIR SUNDAY

BEST AND PRETEND THAT EVERYBODY

IS A GRADE A STUDENT AND LIFE

IS WONDERFUL.

THEY ARE REALLY HONEST ABOUT

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THEIR

LIVES, WHICH ALLOWS US TO DO

BETTER.

Reporter: THEY ARE LOOKING

AT SOUND THEOLOGY TO JUSTIFY

THEIR USE.

BOBBY GRUENEWALD BELIEVES THE

DEBATE OVER VIRTUAL VERSUS

PHYSICAL BOILS DOWN TO REACHING

PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE.

WE MEET IN 39 DIFFERENT

LOCATIONS.

WE HAVE HELPED LOCAL

COMMUNITIES.

W ALSO HAVE THESE TOOLS

AVAILABLE THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN

AVAILABLE BEFORE IN HUMAN

HISTORY THAT ALLOW US AND GIVE

US THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT

AND REACH PEOPLE THAT WE

OTHERWISE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO

REACH.

Reporter: THEY COUNTER THE

META-VERSE IS SMART USE OF

TECHNOLOGY, LIKE WHEN THE LATE

BILLY GRAHAM WENT ON RADIO AND

TV TO EVANGELIZE THE MASSES.

WE ARE CONNECTING WITH

PEOPLE DIGITALLY.

THE RELATIONSHIPS AND THE

COMMUNITY AT THE CONNECTIONS

AND THE SALVATION AND THE

DISCIPLESHIP IS JUST AS

POWERFUL AS ANYTHING THAT WE

HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST.

Reporter: IT IS NOT ABOUT

CHOOSING THE PHYSICAL OVER THE

VIRTUAL FOR LIFE.CHURCH.

IT IS ABOUT THE MANDATE TO MEET

PEOPLE AND TO HELP REACH PEOPLE

WHO DO NOT KNOW CHRIST AND TO

REACH PEOPLE NO ONE IS REACHING

AND TO DO THINGS NO ONE IS

DOING.

JOHN JESSUP, CBN NEWS, OKLAHOMA

CITY.

> THEY SAY I HAVE BECOME ALL

THINGS TO ALL PEOPLE, SO THAT

-- I MIGHT WIN SOME TO CHRIST.

ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL, THAT

PEOPLE ARE TAKING THE SLEEP?

I THINK I'M WAY TOO OLD FOR

THIS, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE CHURCH

WITH WHAT I THINK ARE A BUNCH

OF LEGOS.

IT IS NOT FOR ME, BUT THIS IS

THE BEGINNING OF THE

TECHNOLOGY.

AT WHAT POINT ARE WE GOING TO

SEE IT BE TRULY IMMERSIVE --

THAT COULD BE BY 2030.

I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF THAT

IT'S ONLY EIGHT YEARS AWAY.

THIS TECHNOLOGY IS TAKING OFF

AND WITH A COMPANY LIKE

FACEBOOK, IF THEY ARE INTO IT

THAT THEY HAVE CHANGED THEIR

NAMES, THEIR NAME IN ORDER TO

REFLECT WHAT THEY VIEW THE

FUTURE IS GOING TO BE, WELL,

GUESS WHAT?

IT IS COMING AND IT IS COMING

REALLY SOON.

I THINK TERRY IS GOING TO

EMBRACE IT.

I LIKE THE INTERACTIONS.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING DOWN

THE ROAD, TO SEE WHAT IMPACT

THIS HAS WITH RELATIONSHIPS,

WITH STRATIFYING PEOPLES'

NEEDS.

THE TECHNOLOGY IS GREAT.

WE ARE ON THIS SHOW AND BACK IN

THE 1960s, PEOPLE DID NOT THINK

TELEVISION WAS APPROPRIATE FOR

CHRISTIANS AND THAT IS WHAT IT

WAS.

THEN CABLE TELEVISION,

SATELLITE TELEVISION,

STREAMING, ALL OF THESE THINGS.

IT WORKS AND THIS IS JUST THE

NEXT STEP.

UNFORTUNATELY, I AM NOT READY

FOR IT.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO

WATCH.

> UP NEXT, MEET A COUPLE WHO

FELT THE PINCH OF RISING PRICES

WHEN EVERY SINGLE PENNY WAS

LIKE LIFE OR DEATH.

SEE HOW AN INVESTMENT HELPED

THEM QUADRUPLE THEIR INCOME

RIGHT AFTER THIS.

> THEY WERE RUNNING A SMALL

CATERING BUSINESS WHEN THE

PANDEMIC HIT.

THEY HAD TO REFUND CLOSE TO

$10,000 IN DEPOSITS.

BEFORE LONG, HE WAS STRUGGLING

TO PAY HIS BILLS AND THIS TOP

CHEF WAS LIVING ON FOOD STAMPS.

I JUST LOVED --

HE WORKED AS THE CHEF AT

THIS HOSPITAL BEFORE GOD

LAUNCHED HIM FULL-TIME INTO HIS

OWN CATERING BUSINESS.

I FELT LIKE GOD -- I THOUGHT

THAT HE WAS PUSHING ME OFF A

CLIFF.

Reporter: THIS TOOK TIME AND

WAS SLOW GOING.

HE WORKED HARD TO PROVIDE FOR

HIS KIDS AND KATIE.

I THOUGHT THIS MIGHT NOT

WORK.

WHILE THE COMPANY WANTED TO

TITHE, THEY DID NOT THINK THEY

COULD AFFORD IT.

I FELT LIKE EVERY SINGLE

PENNY, IT WAS LIKE LIFE OR

DEATH AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD

GET SO HEAVY.

IT WOULD BE CRUSHING.

THEY HAD A CONSOLIDATED LOAN

AND DID NOT WANT MORE DEBT.

THEY HAD TO REPLACE THEIR

FLOORING, AS IT WAS CAUSING BAD

ALLERGIC REACTIONS.

WE HAD TO APPLY CHARGES TO

OUR CREDIT CARD.

IT IS NOT SOMETHING I

PERSONALLY WANTED TO DO, BUT I

KNEW FOR THE HEALTH OF MY

DAUGHTER AND FOR MYSELF, WE HAD

TO TAKE THOSE STEPS.

Reporter: OTHER CRITICAL

HOME REPAIRS WERE SET ASIDE

WHILE BASIC FAMILY LIVING

EXPENSES KEPT PILING UP.

THEY NEEDED A BREAKTHROUGH.

THEN, AT THEIR CHURCH'S 20/20

VISION NIGHT, THEY DECIDED IT

WAS TIME TO START TITHING.

I DID NOT WANT TO HAVE TO

STAND BEFORE HIM AND ANSWER THE

QUESTION, WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE

ME YOUR FIRST BEST?

I COULD NOT DO IT NO MORE.

Reporter: NOT LONG AFTER

THAT, THE PANDEMIC HIT.

WE STARTED GETTING EMAILS

AND CALLS OF CLIENTS WANTING TO

GET REFUNDS BECAUSE THEY HAD TO

RESCHEDULE, OR THEY SIMPLY HAD

TO CANCEL.

I DO REMEMBER US REFUNDING

CLOSE TO $10,000 AROUND THAT

TIME, WHICH WAS PRETTY MUCH ALL

WE HAD.

OUR BANK ACCOUNT WAS TO THE

POINT WHERE I WAS LIKE, HOW

WILL WE MAKE IT INTO THE NEXT

DAY?

Reporter: THEY COULD NOT

KEEP UP WITH THEIR UTILITY

BILLS AND THEY HAD TO USE FOOD

STAMPS.

IT IS NEVER GOOD FEELING,

NOT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ENOUGH

MONEY TO PAY YOUR BILLS.

IT IS NOT A GOOD FEELING, JUST

AS AMANDA, PERIOD.

YOU FEEL LIKE A FAILURE.

Reporter: THERE CHURCH HELP

THEM GET BY.

MEANWHILE, THE COUPLE GOT

PANDEMIC RELIEF MONEY AND

SURRENDERED ONE OF THEIR CARS

BEFORE IT WAS SLATED FOR

REPOSSESSION.

DURING THAT TIME, THEY GIVE

OFFERINGS WHEN THEY COULD.

HOWEVER, AS MUCH AS THEY WANTED

TO, THEY STILL DID NOT PUT

TITHING FIRST.

WE WERE NOT PUTTING ALL OUR

FAITH IN GOD AT THAT TIME.

I CALL IT THE INNER CONFLICT.

IT WAS, DO I STILL WANT TO

REMAIN CLOSE FISTED, OR DO I

WANT TO FULLY TRUST GOD AND

OPEN UP MY HANDS AND GIVE HIM

EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE?

Reporter: HE SAYS WHAT GOD

SAID NEXT HELPED HIM TO LET GO.

YOU JUST SAID, NEXT YEAR

WILL BE THE BEST FINANCIAL YEAR

YOU EVER HAD.

HE WANTED ME TO SAY IT.

SO, I TURNED TO MY WIFE AND I

TOLD HER.

I THINK I HAD A BLANK STARE

ON MY FACE.

YEAH, RIGHT.

LIKE, COME ON, BABY.

LET'S BE REALISTIC.

Reporter: SOON, HE WAS HIRED

AS A CONSULTANT AND TRAINER FOR

NEW BARBECUE RESTAURANT.

HE HEARD GOD TELL HIM THEY WERE

SUPPOSED TO GIVE $10,000 THE

NEXT YEAR, NO MATTER WHAT.

I SAID, OKAY, I AM GOING TO

SEE IF YOUR WORD IS TRUE.

WE ARE GOING TO TEST IT.

AT THAT POINT, I WAS ABLE TO

PUT THE PRESSURE ON GOD.

I THOUGHT -- YOU TELL YOUR

CHILDREN OVER AND OVER AGAIN

THE SAME EXACT THING UNTIL YOU

ARE FINALLY LIKE, OKAY, I GET

IT.

I THINK IT WAS KIND OF LIKE

THAT.

Reporter: BY FAITH, THEY PUT

TITHING FIRST AND ENDED UP

GIVING EVEN MORE THAN THEY

PLANNED.

WITH HIS NEW POSITION AT THE

BARBECUE RESTAURANT AND

INCREASED CATERING WORK, HIS

INCOME QUADRUPLED BY THE END OF

THE YEAR.

THEY HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO TAKE

CARE OF THEIR HOME REPAIRS,

PLUS PAY OFF THE REMAINING CAR

AND PART OF THEIR LOAN.

IT WAS OUR HEART TO PAY OFF

THOSE, TO BRING DEBT DOWN AND

TO HAVE MORE FINANCIAL FREEDOM

TO GIVE, SO OTHERS WOULD

EXPERIENCE -- THEY ARE LIKE,

WHY ARE YOU SO GENEROUS?

WHY ARE YOU SO FREELY GIVING?

WE ALWAYS SAY, THAT IS NOT US.

THAT IS HIM.

BECKY HAS REQUIRED NEW

CONTRACTS AND HAS HIS OWN

COOKING SHOW IN THE WORKS.

HIS INCOME CONTINUES TO GO UP

AND THE COUPLE PLANS TO TYPE

AND GIVE MORE THAN EVER.

I CANNOT AFFORD NOT TO TITHE.

GOD CANNOT LIE.

IF YOU DO YOUR PART, HE HAS TO

BLESS YOU.

JUST START TYPING AND DO NOT

STOP.

IT WILL JUST CHANGE YOUR LIFE

FOREVER.

IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

FOREVER.

HIS PROMISES ARE TRUE.

I LOVE WHAT KATIE SAID.

IT IS LIKE RAISING CHILDREN.

YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM OVER AND

OVER AGAIN.

THEN THEY FINALLY GET IT AND

THEY UNDERSTAND WHY, AND IN

THAT UNDERSTANDING, THEY COME

INTO OBEDIENCE.

WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THE

BENEFITS OF TITHING, WHEN YOU

UNDERSTAND THE BENEFITS OF

LIVING FOR GOD, WHEN YOU

UNDERSTAND ALL THE BLESSINGS

THAT HE HAS FOR YOU, IF YOU

WOULD ONLY OBEY HIM AND LET HIM

HELP YOU, THEN YOU WILL HAVE

PLENTY.

HERE IS THE PROMISE.

WE HAVE SAID IT BEFORE AND I

WILL KEEP SAYING IT BECAUSE

THAT IS WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO

UNDERSTAND.

HE WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE

BLESSINGS.

IT IS FROM MALACHI CHAPTER 3.

TEST ME NOW IN THIS.

IF WILL NOT OPEN -- THERE WILL

NOT BE ENOUGH TO RECEIVE IT.

WHEN YOU HAVE THAT PRINCIPLE,

THAT HE IS GOING TO OPEN

WINDOWS IN HEAVEN.

HE IS GOING TO POUR OUT A

BLESSING AND YOU CANNOT CONTAIN

-- HE HAS THIS IN MIND FOR YOU.

WHAT IS HE WAITING FOR?

YOU TO PUT HIM TO THE TEST AND

THAT IS BRING THE TITHE TO THE

STOREHOUSE.

WHEN YOU DO IT HIS WAY AND SAY,

GOD, I TRUST YOU.

I TRUST YOU WITH MY FUTURE.

I TRUST YOU WITH MY PENANCES.

MY FAITH IS NOT IN MY BANK

ACCOUNT.

MY FAITH IS NOT IN MY JOB.

MY FAITH IS IN YOU.

WHEN YOU HAVE THAT AND PROPERLY

HAVE IT, WONDERFUL THINGS WILL

HAPPEN.

IF YOU WANT TO START A LIFE OF

TITHING, THIS IS NOT AN ON-

AGAIN, OFF-AGAIN THING.

IT IS NOT A GET RICH QUICK

THING.

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE

CONFIDENCE MOVING FORWARD IN

LIFE THAT GOD HAS, START

TITHING.

YOU CAN DO IT BY JOINING THE

OF WORK AND THEN SHE COULD ONLY

FIND WORK A COUPLE MONTHS OF

THE YEAR, SO WHEN RAY NEARLY

BLEW DOWN HER ROOF, SHE HAD NO

MONEY TO BUILD A NEW HOUSE.

SHE WAS RAISING HER TWO

CHILDREN AND HER HOUSE WAS MADE

OF BAMBOO AND WAS TOLD BY HER

LATE HUSBAND.

I GOT SO SCARED WHEN THE

RAIN WOULD BLOW MY HOUSE SO

HARD.

I TRY TO FIX THE HOUSE, BUT

THERE WERE SO MANY.

I DID NOT HAVE MONEY TO BUILD

ANOTHER HOUSE.

SHE WORKED HARD TO SUPPORT

HER CHILDREN.

SOME DAYS, I WOULD EARN

ABOUT $2.50.

LAST YEAR, I ONLY WORKED FOR 70

DAYS OUT OF THE WHOLE YEAR.

THIS IS A 4-YEAR-OLD

KONGKEA.

WHEN IT RAINS, I HAVE TO

STAY IN THE HOUSE.

THE ROOF LEAKS AND THE HOUSE

MOVES.

I AM AFRAID MY HOUSE WILL FALL

DOWN.

I'M NOT AFRAID LIKE I WAS

BEFORE.

I LOVE THIS NEW HOUSE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE PEOPLE

WHO HELPED BUILD FOR US.

YEARS OLD AND BEING WORRIED

PARENT.

THE ARMOR OF GOD.

I HAD THE VIEW OF INTERVIEWING

HIM AND TALKING ABOUT HOW DO WE

UTILIZE THE ARMOR OF GOD.

I WAS TALKING TO SOME FRIENDS

YESTERDAY ABOUT THE FACT -- WE

SHOULD NOT BE LEAVING OUR

HOUSES WITHOUT DOING THIS EVERY

DAY.

WE THINK IT WILL REALLY IMPACT

YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE.

AT THE SAME TIME, YOU WILL

CHANGE THE LIVES OF OTHERS.

WILL YOU CALL NOW?

IT IS 1-800-700-7000.

> JORDAN IS A SINGLE MOM WHO

PROUDLY SERVED HER COUNTRY.

THE COST OF HER DAY CARE FOR

HER CHILDREN TAKES A BIG BITE

OUT OF HER PAYCHECK, SO WHEN

HER CAR BROKE DOWN, JORDAN HAD

NO MONEY TO FIX IT.

HERE IS HOW PEOPLE LIKE YOU

CAME TO HER RESCUE.

SHE IS PROUD TO SERVE AS

PART OF THE SUPPORT SYSTEM.

AT HOME, HER TOP PRIORITY IS

HER DAUGHTERS.

SHE ALWAYS PUTS THEIR NEEDS IN

FRONT OF HER OWN BECAUSE THAT

IS HOW SHE WAS RAISED.

MY PARENTS PUT MY BROTHER

AND MY SISTER, AS WELL AS

MYSELF, FIRST BEFORE THEM.

MY DAD WORKED.

MY MOM WORKED ENDLESS HOURS.

SHE IS MORE FINANCIAL

PARENTS -- SO, HUGE CHUNK OF

HER PAYCHECK GOES TO CHILD

CARE.

SHE LEARNED THAT SHE GET SOME

FINANCIAL RELIEF AS SOON AS A

SLOT OPEN IN THE DAY CARE

CENTER ON BASE, WHERE THE COST

WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN

CHILDCARE IN TOWN.

WHILE WAITING FOR AN OPENING,

HER CAR BROKE DOWN.

JORDAN SIMPLY COULD NOT AFFORD

TO FIX IT.

IT IS A HUGE HEADACHE

BECAUSE I GET SCARED.

IT IS KIND OF JUST WAITING ON

THAT MOMENT -- WHENEVER I CAN

CATCH A BREAK -- THAT I CAN

AFFORD TO GET MY CAR FULLY

REPAIRED.

FINANCIAL RELIEF FOR JORDAN

CAME WHEN HELPING THE HOME

FRONT JOINED FORCES WITH A

FAITH-BASED MILITARY SUPPORT

PROGRAM CALLED SOUL SURVIVOR

OUTDOOR.

DIRECTOR RICK WOLF DELIVERED

SOME GOOD NEWS.

FOR OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH CBN,

REPAIRS.

YOU KNOW?

IN OUR WORLD, YOU ARE A

SERGEANT IN THE MARINES.

IT TAKES A LOT TO DO THAT.

IT IS A HUGE SACRIFICE FOR

EVERY ONE OF US.

I AM HAPPY.

I AM EXCITED BECAUSE THE CAR IS

GOING TO BE FIXED.

MY KIDS ARE GOING TO BE SAFE,

DRIVING FROM THE HOUSE TO

DAYCARE.

IT IS JUST -- IT IS

OVERWHELMING.

THANK YOU.

HELPING THE HOME FRONT PAID

TO REPAIR JORDAN'S CAR AND FOUR

MONTHS OF CHILDCARE UNTIL SHE

> WELCOME BACK TO WASHINGTON

FOR THIS BREAK.

ELON MUSK SAYS HE IS STILL

COMMITTED TO TAKING OVER

TWITTER AFTER EARLIER TODAY

ANNOUNCING HIS PLAN TO BUY IT

IS, QUOTE, TEMPORARILY ON HOLD.

HE LINKED TO A READERS NEWS

REPORT ESTIMATE THAT LESS THAN

5% OF TWITTER'S ACCOUNTS ARE

FAKE AND HE WANTS DETAILS ON

HOW THE COMPANY CAME UP WITH

THAT NUMBER.

HE HAS BEEN VOCAL ABOUT HIS

DESIRE TO CLEAN UP TWITTERS

PROBLEM WITH SPAMBOTS THAT

IMITATE REAL PEOPLE.

> ANOTHER STEP FORWARD FOR

INFLATABLE CHIPS IN HUMAN

BEINGS.

THE COMPANY IN UNITED KINGDOM

HAS DEVELOPED A NEW CHIP THAT

WEIGHS LESS THAN A GRAM AND IS

ONLY A LITTLE LARGER THAN A

GRAIN OF RICE.

IT ALLOWS FOR PAYMENT ON THE

SAME READER AS A CREDIT CARD.

WHEN A PERSON WANTS TO PURCHASE

SOMETHING, PAY FOR PRODUCT OR

SERVICE USING A CREDIT CARD

READER, THEY SIMPLY PLACE THEIR

HAND WITH THE CHIP NEXT TO THE

READER AND PAYMENT IS MADE,

JUST AS IF THEY USED A CREDIT

CARD.

THE BBC REPORTS A BRITISH

POLISH FIRM CALLED -- THEY SAID

LAST YEAR BECAME THE FIRST

COMPANY TO OFFER SUCH CHIPS FOR

SALE TO THE GENERAL POPULATION.

THAT STORY AND GET THE LATEST

GORDON AND TERRY WILL BE BACK

WITH MORE OF THE 700 CLUB RIGHT

AFTER THIS.

> WITHOUT WARNING, THEN HE

FAINTED AND HE HAD TWO SKULL

FRACTURES AND BLEEDING ON HIS

BRAIN.

HIS WIFE WORRIED HE WOULD NEVER

BE ABLE TO WALK AGAIN.

ONE DAY, BENNY HEARD THE

AUDIBLE VOICE OF GOD AND

INSTANTLY KNEW THAT HE WAS

GOING TO BE OKAY.

IT SOUNDED ALMOST LIKE A

GUNSHOT.

HE LANDED -- IT WAS A WOOD

FLOOR.

IT WAS LOUD.

THE FIRST THING I EXPECTED TO

SEE WAS BLOOD.

Reporter: DONNA DICHIARA AND

HER HUSBAND BENNY DICHIARA WERE

UP ONE MORNING IN 2015.

AS THEY PREPARED FOR THE DAY,

BENNY UNEXPECTEDLY FAINTED AND

FELL BACKWARDS, HITTING HIS

HEAD ON THEIR HARDWOOD FLOOR.

DONNA QUICKLY REALIZED IT WAS

SERIOUS.

IT WAS NOT AFTER LONG THAT

HE STARTED TELLING ME THAT HIS

EARS WERE RINGING AND HE SAW

THINGS IN FRONT OF HIS FACE AND

HE WAS HAVING A SEVERE, YOU

KNOW, HEAD THROB.

DONNA RUSHED BENNY TO THE

ER, WHERE DOCTORS DETERMINED HE

HAD TWO SKULL FRACTURES AND

BLEEDING IN THE BRAIN.

THEY WERE WORRIED ABOUT HIM

HAVING SEIZURES AND BRAIN

SWELLING.

THEY ALREADY KNEW HE WAS

BLEEDING.

SHE CALLED FRIENDS FROM

CHURCH AND FAMILY, ASKING FOR

PRAYERS FOR HEALING.

BENNY IS THE LEAD SINGER OF THE

CHRISTIAN ROCK BAND EMPOWERED

AND AS WORD OF HIS INJURY

SPREAD, THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF

PEOPLE PRAYING FOR HIS

RECOVERY.

THE PRAYERS WERE IMPORTANT

TO ME BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW

WHAT WAS GOING ON OR WHAT WAS

GOING TO HAPPEN.

I MEAN, I TURN TO GOD FIRST,

YOU KNOW?

I STARTED PRAYING.

THREE DAYS PAST AND HE WAS

STILL IN THE HOSPITAL.

SHE CONTINUED TO PRAY.

THE WEIGHTING IS THE HARD

PART.

IT IS REALLY HARD TO BE IN A

SITUATION WHERE YOU DO NOT KNOW

WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT.

AND THE ONLY THING, I GUESS, I

KNOW TO DO IN THAT SITUATION IS

JUST PRAY AND ASK GOD FOR

GUIDANCE AND ASK HIM TO BE IN

CONTROL.

AND HE WAS DISCHARGED FROM

THE HOSPITAL AND SENT HOME TO

REST.

DONNA HAD TO CARE FOR HIM

AROUND THE CLOCK AS HIS

RECOVERY WAS STILL UNCERTAIN.

I WORRIED ABOUT THE AFTER

EFFECTS.

WAS HE GOING TO BE ABLE TO WALK

AND FUNCTION NORMALLY AGAIN AND

THINK NORMALLY AGAIN?

HE WAS AWAKE AND HE DID NOT

ALWAYS MAKE TOTAL SENSE WHEN HE

SPOKE.

BEN YSLETA 20 HOURS A DAY

FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH.

DONNA CONTINUED TO LOOK TO GOD

FOR PEACE.

OKAY, GOD, I AM GIVING THIS

TO YOU.

YOU SAY, LAY IT AT YOUR FEET

AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LEAVE

US AND YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE

CARE OF IT AND THAT YOU'RE IN

THE BOTTLE WITH US.

WHEN I TRULY TRUSTED GOD, THEN

WHEN I CONSIDER THAT PEACE --

IT IS JUST ABLE TO DO WHAT I

NEED TO DO, YOU KNOW, THE

STRENGTH TO DO IT.

TOWARDS THE END OF THAT

TIME, BENNY HEARD A VOICE THAT

AWAKENED HIM LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

ONE AFTERNOON, I BECAME A

LITTLE BIT COGNIZANT.

DONNA HAD LEFT THE HOUSE

BECAUSE SHE COULD LEAVE ME AT

THAT POINT.

I HAD A WALKER TO GET AROUND

THE HOUSE, BUT I WAS WELL

ENOUGH TO BE LEFT, AND I GOT AN

AUDIBLE VOICE FROM GOD IN MY

LIVING ROOM.

HE SAID, BENNY, I HAVE A HUGE

AND GREAT PLANS FOR YOU COMING

OUT OF THIS THING.

THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO COME OUT

OF.

I NEED PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT WHAT

I DID FOR YOU -- I STEPPED IN

AND SAVED YOUR LIFE.

WHAT I DID FOR YOU, I CAN DO

FOR THEM IF THEY JUST PRESS IN

AND CALL OUT TO ME.

MAN, THAT WAS A SERIOUSLY

POIGNANT TIME.

I COULD TELL THAT IT HAD A

PROFOUND EFFECT ON HIM.

HE GOT TEARY EYED AND THEN HE

IS NOT ONE TO CRY, YOU KNOW,

REAL OFTEN.

BUT IT BROUGHT HIM TO TEARS.

I MEAN, WHEN HE WAS TELLING ME

ABOUT IT AND TALKING ABOUT GOD

AS HIS FATHER, YOU KNOW, AND

HOW HE CAME TO THEM AND SAID,

YOU KNOW, I HAVE GREAT PLANS

FOR YOU.

AFTER THAT, BENNY MADE A

REMARKABLE COPPERY.

HE HAS HIS STRENGTH AND DESIRE

TO SHARE GOD'S LOVE.

I WILL TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT

JESUS AT ANY POINT.

AND IT IS ALMOST DANGEROUS NOW

BECAUSE I HAVE THIS COMPELLING

THING WHERE PEOPLE HAVE TO KNOW

WHAT HE HAS DONE AND WHAT HE

CAN DO FOR THEM.

SO, THE LEVEL OF SHARING HAS

DEFINITELY INCREASED.

THE LEVEL OF INTENSITY IN THAT

SHARING HAS INCREASED AS WELL.

THAT INTENSITY IS FELT BY

AUDIENCES DURING THEIR SHOWS.

BENNY AND DON ARE THANKFUL FOR

THE PRAYERS AND THE HEALING HE

RECEIVED DURING HIS TIME OF

NEED.

IT IS TAUGHT ME TO BE

GRATEFUL AND TO BE THANKFUL FOR

TODAY, TO FIND THE THINGS WE

CAN BE GRATEFUL FOR, EVEN IN

THE NOT SO GOOD SITUATIONS.

I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT FOR

US TO REMEMBER -- FOR ALL THE

CRAZINESS, YOU KNOW, THAT WE

CAN STILL BE THANKFUL FOR TODAY

AND TO PUT OUR THOUGHTS ON THAT

, INSTEAD OF ON THE NEGATIVE.

WE CAN SING OUR GOD IS AN

AWESOME GOD, BUT WHEN YOU GO

THROUGH SOMETHING IN YOUR OWN

PERSONAL LIFE AND YOU

EXPERIENCE HOW AWESOME OUR GOD

IS, YOU CANNOT -- EVEN THE

ROCKS WILL FALL DOWN.

YOU HAVE GOT TO CRY OUT AND

JUST LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT HE

HAS DONE FOR YOU, AND WE ARE

DOING THE LORD'S WORK WHEN WE

DO THAT.

WHAT GOD DID FOR BENNY, HE

WILL DO FOR YOU.

THAT IS THE MESSAGE THAT GOD

GAVE HIM, THAT AUDIBLE VOICE.

WHAT I DID FOR YOU, I WILL DO

FOR THEM.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LEAN INTO

HIM.

ANOTHER WORD FOR FAITH IS TO

RELY, TO TRUST, TO GO ALL IN

AND SAY, LORD, I AM THERE.

YOU ARE THERE.

I TRUST YOU.

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO ME, I

TRUST YOU.

I KNOW YOU HAVE MY FUTURE.

I KNOW YOU HAVE MY HEART.

I KNOW YOU HAVE ME FOR ALL

ETERNITY.

I KNOW YOU HAVE ME RIGHT NOW.

WHEN YOU HAVE THAT, MIRACLES

HAPPEN.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THE

KINGDOM OF GOD IS DRAWING NEAR

YOU.

HIS WILL IS BEING DONE IN YOUR

BODY AND IN YOUR LIFE, AS IT IS

IN HEAVEN.

SO, IN HEAVEN, IS -- IS ANYBODY

IN DANGER OF DYING?

THE ANSWER TO ALL OF THAT IS,

NO, BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE GOD'S

WILL IS BEING DONE.

IT CAN BE DONE FOR YOU ON EARTH

IF YOU JUST LEANED INTO HIM.

PRESS IN FOR YOUR MIRACLE AND

RELY TOTALLY ON HIM.

IT IS NOT BASED ON THE QUALITY

OF YOUR PRAYERS OR BASED ON HOW

MUCH YOU TITHE OR HOW MUCH YOU

READ THE BIBLE OR HOW MUCH

GREEK AND HEBREW YOU READ.

NOT ANY OF THOSE THINGS.

IT IS BASED ON THE FINISHED

WORK OF THE CROSS.

JESUS DID IT ALL.

WHEN YOU LEAN INTO THAT AND SAY

JESUS HAS DONE IT ALL FOR ME,

THAT IS WHEN YOU GET THE

MIRACLE.

NOW, TERRY AND I WILL PRAY FOR

YOU.

IT IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE

SHOW.

THERE IS ANOTHER MIRACLE THAT

WE WANT TO LOOK AT, TO

ENCOURAGE YOUR FAITH.

THERE IS JUDY FROM WASHINGTON.

SHE HAS SEVERE SINUS PRESSURE

SHE HAD NEVER FELT.

THE PAIN RADIATED DOWN HER NECK

AND HEAD AND SHE WAS WATCHING

THIS SHOW AND HER PAIN WAS

REALLY BAD.

TERRY SAID, YOU HAVE HORRIBLE

TROUBLE WITH SINUSES AND ALL

THE CHANGES -- IT IS LEAVING.

JUDY SAID THAT IS ME.

SHE STARTED DANCING AROUND HER

KITCHEN AND WAS IMMEDIATELY

HEALED.

GOD LIKES THAT WORSHIP.

THIS IS DAVID FROM TACOMA,

WASHINGTON.

THEY WERE SUFFERING FROM ACID

REFLUX.

WHILE WATCHING THE PROGRAM, HE

HEARD YOU SAY, YOU HAVE A

TREMENDOUS BURNING IN YOUR

ESOPHAGUS.

GOD IS HEALING THAT.

NO MORE IRRITATION OR SCARRING

OR INFLAMMATION.

NO MORE PROBLEMS.

DAVID HAS NOT HAD ANY MORE

SINCE.

AMEN.

> LORD, WE COME TO YOU

DANCING AND THANKSGIVING FOR

WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.

YOU HAVE ABOLISHED SIN AND

DEATH.

SO, ANYONE THAT HAS HAD A

DIAGNOSIS, A DIAGNOSIS OF

DEATH, LORD, WE COME AGAINST

THAT RIGHT NOW.

WE DECLARE THE KINGDOM OF

HEAVEN DRAWS NEAR TO THEM, THAT

THEY WILL LIVE AND NOT DIE AND

DECLARE THE GLORY OF THE LORD,

WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR THEM.

REACHED DOWN AND DO MIRACLES

TODAY.

SIGNS AND WONDERS.

STRETCH FORTH YOUR HAND, FOR WE

ASK IT IN JESUS' NAME.

THERE IS SOMEONE THAT HAS

SUFFERED WITH A BROKEN SHOULDER

FOR YEARS.

IT HAPPENED IN AN ACCIDENT AND

IT IS VERY PAINFUL FOR YOU TO

MOVE YOUR RIGHT ARM OR YOUR

RIGHT SHOULDER. THEIR SHOOTING

PAIN THAT GOES INTO YOUR NECK.

GOD IS HEALING ALL THE BONES,

ALL OF THE TENDONS, ALL THE

MUSCLES, EVERYTHING CONCERNING

IT.

YOU FELT A HEAVYWEIGHT GOING TO

THAT SHOULDER.

GOD IS HEALING YOU.

SOMEONE HAS A DISLOCATED JOB

AND IT IS PAINFUL.

SOMEONE ELSE -- IT KEEPS

POPPING OUT.

GOD IS HEALING THOSE

CONDITIONS.

IF YOU HAVE BEEN HEALED, LET

US KNOW.

GIVE US A CALL AT 1-800-700-

7000.

THERE IS A WORD . YOU HAVE

DECLARED YOUR STRENGTH AMONG

THE PEOPLE.

GOD BLESS YOU.
