BEHIND THE SHROUD OF TURIN.
A MEDIEVAL RELIC?
OR THE AUTHENTIC CLOTH OF
CHRIST?
WHAT THE LATEST SCIENCE REVEALS.
TODAY, ON THE 700 CLUB.
> WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
IRANIANS HAVE TAKEN TO THE
STREETS IN PROTEST.
THEY ARE NOT CHANTING "DEATH TO
AMERICA" OR "DEATH TO ISRAEL,"
BUT THEY ARE CRYING OUT DEATH
TO THE DICTATOR.
UNEMPLOYMENT, HIGH PRICES,
AND THEY ARE DEMANDING AN END
TO THE BORDER REGIME.
MANY OF THEM ARE ALSO TURNING
TO ISLAM.
CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS.
Reporter: IN MORE THAN 40
CITIES THROUGHOUT IRAN,
CITIZENS ARE CALLING FOR REGIME
CHANGE, WITH CRIES LIKE "DEATH
TO THE DICTATOR" AND "OUR ENEMY
IS NOT AMERICA."
AS IT HAS IN THE PAST, THE
GOVERNMENT HAS SENT OUT ITS
SECURITY FORCES TO BRUTALLY
SUPPRESS THE PROTESTS.
THIS DOCTOR CAME AS PART OF
THIS MISSION, A GOODWILL
DELEGATION FROM ORGANIZATIONS
OUTSIDE OF IRAN.
THEY MET WITH ISRAELI
OFFICIALS.
THEY ARE LOOKING AT WHAT IS
HAPPENING TO THE IRANIAN PEOPLE.
PEOPLE ARE UNEMPLOYED AND
PEOPLE ARE NOT WORKING.
FOOD IS SO EXPENSIVE AND THEY
CANNOT EAT AND THEY CANNOT
MANAGE THE COUNTRY.
HUMAN RIGHTS ARE VIOLATED.
THERE ARE POLITICAL PRISONERS,
BEING EXECUTED.
THE STRUGGLES SAY IT ALL.
THE SLOGANS WANT TO DO AWAY
WITH THE REGIME AND THE ISLAMIC
REPUBLIC.
THEY SAY OUR ENEMY IS NOT THE
UNITED STATES.
MY ENEMY IS HERE, AND I RUN.
SO, IT IS --
Reporter: THESE PROTESTS
FOLLOW DEMONSTRATIONS ALL THE
WAY BACK TO THE GREEN
REVOLUTION FROM 2009, CALLING
FOR CHANGE.
THE QUESTION IS COULD THEY
SUCCEED WHEN OTHERS HAVE NOT?
IS IT REALISTIC THE REGIME
COULD BE OVERTHROWN?
ABSOLUTELY.
NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT BECAUSE YOU
CANNOT FORCE THE PEOPLE TO LIVE
IN THE PAST 43 YEARS AND THEY
CANNOT HAVE ANY FREEDOM OF
SPEECH, FREEDOM OF WORK, AND IT
DOES NOT EXIST.
Reporter: GEORGE THOMAS SAYS
SOME ARE TURNING AWAY FROM
ISLAM IN THE MIDST OF THIS
CRISIS.
THEY ARE SO FED UP WITH
ISLAM AND THEY SEE EVERYTHING
FROM ISLAM'S POINT OF VIEW
BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT SAYS
BECAUSE OF ISLAM, YOU HAVE TO
INJURE WORK, AND THEY SAY WE DO
NOT WANT TO ENDURE THIS
RELIGION, SO MANY, MANY ARE
CALLING IT OUT, WANTING TO LOOK
TO JESUS.
CHRISTIANS ARE PERSECUTED IN
IRAN BUT THEY SAY THAT THE
PEOPLE ARE MORE COURAGEOUS AND
THEY CONTINUE TO SPREAD THE
MESSAGE OF JESUS CHRIST.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT
THE CHURCH IN IRAN?
HOW IS IT HOLDING UP UNDER
PERSECUTION?
WELL, I CAN TELL YOU THE
CHURCH IS GROWING.
IT IS THE FASTEST GROWING
CHURCH IN THE WORLD PER CAPITA.
IT IS MARKED BY MUSLIMS COMING
TO FAITH THROUGH DREAMS AND
VISIONS.
THE NUMBER OF THEM ARE OFF THE
CHARTS.
THEY HAVE AN UNDERGROUND CHURCH
BUT THEY ALSO HAVE A CYBER
CHURCH CONNECTED TO THE
INTERNET.
WHAT I AM HEARING, AN ECHO OF
WHAT THE PASTOR SAID, THEY ARE
SPIRITUALLY HUNGRY AND
SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH AND
THERE IS A DEEP
DISSATISFACTION.
SOME SAY IT IS A POST-ISLAMIC
COUNTRY WITH ONLY A SMALL
PERCENTAGE OF IRANIANS GOING TO
A MOSQUE.
MANY THAT HATES THE GOVERNMENT
DO NOT HATE THE WEST OR AMERICA
AND THE REGIME, THEY FEAR THE
CHURCH.
MANY FEEL THE GOVERNMENT WILL
COLLAPSE AND COULD COLLAPSE AND
SOME SAY THE CHURCH NEEDS TO BE
READY TO RESPOND IF THAT
HAPPENS INSIDE IRAN.
THE GREEN REVOLUTION -- THE
GOVERNMENT RELEASED SNIPERS ON
THE PROTESTERS.
WE SAW THE VIDEO, WHERE THEY
ARE BEATING A MAN IN THE STREET
WITH A BATON.
HOW IS LEADERSHIP RESPONDING
AND IS THERE A POTENTIAL TO
CREATE CHANGE?
Reporter: WELL, AS THEY HAVE
IN 2009, THEY ARE DOING THE
SAME THING IN 2020.
THERE WAS A HORRIFIC VIDEO OF
THE MAN BEING BEAT UP.
BRUTALITY IS ONE OF THE FIRST
THINGS THEY USE.
THEN THE ARRESTS OF PROTESTERS.
THEY ARE TRYING TO ALSO
SHUTDOWN THE INTERNET.
THEY DO NOT WANT THESE VIDEOS
GETTING OUT.
THEN YOU HAVE HEAVY POLICE
THERE, TO STOP ANY PROTESTS
FROM EVEN GATHERING.
THE QUESTION WILL BE WILL THERE
BE A TIPPING POINT TO OVERTHROW
THE GOVERNMENT?
MANY HAVE BEEN OPTIMISTIC IN
THE PAST, DURING PREVIOUS
PROTESTS, LIKE IN 2019.
SO FAR, THE REGIME HAS BEEN
ABLE TO HOLD ONTO POWER.
THAT IS WHY MANY ARE PRAYING
THIS REGIME WILL FALL AND IF IT
DOES, IT WILL BE A GAME CHANGER
FOR THE MIDDLE EAST.
LET'S LOOK AT SAUDI ARABIA.
IT IS A COUNTERBALANCE TO IRAN
IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN HAD PLANNED
TO MAKE A TRIP OVER THERE THIS
SUMMER.
WHERE DOES IT STAND?
Reporter: WELL, RIGHT NOW,
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN SAID IT IS
NOT CONFIRMED YET, BUT HE ALSO
MAY MEET WITH THE CROWN PRINCE.
THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE U.S.
AND SAUDI ARABIA HAVE BEEN VERY
ROCKY SINCE THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION TOOK OFFICE
DURING THE CAMPAIGN.
HE CALLED SAUDI ARABIA A PARIAH
STATE AND THAT IS -- NOW THAT
HE IS IN OFFICE, HE RELEASED A
CIA REPORT, BLAMING THE DEATH
OF THIS JOURNALIST ON THE CROWN
PRINCE.
THERE ARE COUPLE OF THINGS THAT
PUTS IN CONTEXT WHAT HAPPENED.
HE NEEDS MORE SAUDI OIL TO
REDUCE THE GAS PRICES IN THE
UNITED STATES AND THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION, WHAT THEY ARE
DOING IS THEY'RE BROKERING
TALKS BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE
SAUDI'S, TO TRY TO NORMALIZE
RELATIONS.
THAT WILL TRY TO HELP PREPARE
THE U.S./SAUDI RELATIONSHIP.
A U.S. AMBASSADOR,
YESTERDAY, SAID ISRAEL MIGHT BE
ON THIS TRIP.
ARE YOU HEARING RUMORS THAT HE
MAY DO A JOINT TRIP, ONE TO
SAUDI ARABIA AND ONE TO ISRAEL?
Reporter: THAT IS EXACTLY
TRUE.
THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF HIM
COMING TO ISRAEL.
WHAT MAY PREVENT HIM FROM
COMING IS THE FACT, RIGHT NOW,
THE COALITION IS VERY FRAGILE.
THERE WAS A VOTE IN THE KNESSET
YESTERDAY, WHERE THE
GOVERNMENT, THE COALITION
GOVERNMENT, LOST THE ELECTION.
IT IS NOT CERTAIN IF THIS
COALITION IS GOING TO LAST.
IF IT WILL GO TO A NEW ELECTION
OR THERE IS A CHANGE, IT IS
POSSIBLE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN
MAY NOT COME TO ISRAEL BUT GO
DIRECTLY TO SAUDI ARABIA.
THANK YOU FOR THE INSIGHT
AND REPORTING.
> GAS PRICES HAVE MORE THAN
DOUBLED SINCE PRESIDENT JOE
BIDEN TOOK OFFICE.
EFREM GRAHAM HAS THE LATEST ON
THAT STORY FROM OUR CBN NEWS
ROOM.
Reporter: GAS PRICES ARE
SETTING ANOTHER RECORD HIGH.
THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS NOW AT
$4.92 A GALLON, UP MORE THAN A
QUARTER FROM A WEEK AGO AND
NEARLY 2 DOLLARS A YEAR AGO.
MANY PREDICTED THE AVERAGE
COULD REACH FIVE DOLLARS BY THE
END OF THE WEEK.
THEY BLAME THE WAR IN UKRAINE
AND SUPPLIED CHAIN PROBLEMS.
CRITICS POINT TO THEIR ENERGY
POLICIES.
SKY-HIGH INFLATION AND A
HANGOVER FROM PANDEMIC SPENDING
SPREES HAVE SOME STRUGGLING TO
BALANCE BUDGETS.
FINANCIAL EXPERTS SAY THERE ARE
WAYS TO RECOVER AND START
SAVING.
BRODY CARTER SHOWS US HOW.
I HATE IT, BUT IT IS ABOUT
THE BUDGET.
Reporter: THIS EXPERT
RECOMMENDS GOING BACK TO BASICS
IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING TO
BALANCE YOUR CHECKBOOK.
IT STARTS WITH THAT BUDGET.
MANY HAVE NO IDEA HOW THEY ARE
SPENDING THEIR MONEY.
Reporter: INFLATION IS AT A
40 YEAR HIGH DUE TO DIFFERENT
DISRUPTIONS.
THIS DOCTOR, A CHIEF ECONOMIC
ADVISER, SAYS THEY PICKED UP
SOME BAD SPENDING HABITS AS
COVID RELIEF POURED IN.
OVER 70% OF THOSE RECEIVING
UNEMPLOYMENT WERE RECEIVING
MORE THAN THEY HAD BEEN
RECEIVING WHEN THEY WERE
WORKING.
ESPECIALLY DURING COVID,
WHEN MANY OF US WERE STAYING
HOME, WE GOT ON AMAZON AND IT
WAS THAT EASY CLICK TO MAKE
OURSELVES FEEL HAPPY.
THOSE WERE VERY TOUGH TIMES.
Reporter: IT LED TO A RECORD
$204 BILLION SPENT ON BACK
CHRISTMAS.
STATS SHOW WAGES HAVE DECLINED.
IN RETROSPECT, WE PUT TOO
MUCH MONEY OUT THERE.
WE DID NOT HAVE THE ECONOMY
READY TO ABSORB IT.
MONEY CONTROL IS 90%
BEHAVIOR.
WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE BEHAVIOR.
WE KNOW THAT WE NEED TO SPEND
LESS AND SAVE MORE.
IT IS EASY ON PAPER, BUT THEN
LIFE HAPPENS AND WE START
SPENDING MORE.
Reporter: HE IS AN AUTHOR
AND MENTOR, HELPING FAMILIES
MANAGE THEIR FINANCES.
I RECOMMEND TRACKING YOUR
SPENDING FOR AT LEAST ONE
MONTH, THEN AT THE END OF THE
MONTH, YOU CAN SEE, OH, WE WENT
TO STARBUCKS FIVE TIMES OR WE
DID THIS.
WHATEVER IT MAY BE, SPENDING
HABITS, YOU CAN LOOK AT IT AND
YOU CAN CUT OUT THOSE THINGS
THAT ARE NOT NECESSARY.
Reporter: THEY SUGGEST
INVESTING IN WISE AREAS LIKE A
401(K) AND TRIMMING THE DAILY
SPENDING.
THINK ABOUT HOW MANY HOURS
OF WORK GO INTO A PURCHASE.
I WILL DO SOME EASY MATH.
LET'S SAY YOU MADE $20 AN HOUR
AND SOMETHING COST 200 HOURS.
YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK 10 HOURS
TO PURCHASE THAT --
YOU CAN CUT DOWN ON SPENDING
AND BUILD A RAINY DAY FUND
WITHOUT SACRIFICING FUN
ALTOGETHER.
IF YOU BEGIN TRACKING YOUR
SPENDING NOW, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE
TO SAVE MONEY AS EARLY AS THE
NEXT MONTH OR SO.
TIME TO TRACK SPENDING,
INDEED.
> I WILL SAY IT AGAIN.
LIVE BY THE 80/10/10 RULE.
LIVE ON 80% OF YOUR INCOME, AND
YOU HAVE TO PAY YOURSELF.
THAT IS WHY YOU ARE WORKING.
IF YOU ARE NOT ACCUMULATING
SAVINGS AND NOT HAVING THAT AS
A REGULAR PART OF A MONTHLY
BUDGET, YOU ARE CUTTING OFF
YOUR FUTURE.
SO, IF YOU SAVE 10% EVERY
SINGLE MONTH AND, OVER TIME,
THIS IS NOT GET RICH QUICK,
OVER TIME YOU WILL ACCUMULATE
AND YOU CAN START THINKING
ABOUT INVESTMENTS AND WHAT
WOULD BE NICE IS HAVE YOUR
MONEY WORK FOR YOU.
THEN, MOST IMPORTANTLY, PUT GOD
FIRST IN YOUR LIFE.
TITHE.
IF YOU PUT HIM FIRST, YOU KNOW
HE IS ON YOUR SIDE AND YOU'RE
GOING TO GET ALL THE BENEFITS
WITH TITHING, ABOUT HOW HE
WILL OPEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN
OVER YOU AND POUR OUT A
BLESSING.
IT IS EASY TO REMEMBER.
WHEN YOU DO IT, WONDERFUL
THINGS WILL HAPPEN.
WISE COUNSEL.
> LIKE A STABBING KNIFE.
THAT IS HOW THIS WOMAN
DESCRIBED THE EXCRUCIATING PAIN
IN HER KNEE.
HER DOCTOR SAID IT WOULD TAKE
EIGHT MONTHS TO HEAL IT.
INSTEAD, SHE WAS HEALED IN AN
INSTANT.
SHE WILL TELL YOU HOW IT
HAPPENED, COMING UP.
> A NEW SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY
ABOUT THE SHROUD OF TURIN.
DOES IT PROVE ITS AUTHENTICITY?
YOU DECIDE AFTER THIS.
> IS IT THE ACTUAL BURIAL
CLOTH OF JESUS OR JUST A
MEDIEVAL FORGERY?
THE SHROUD OF TURIN HAS
GENERATED CONTROVERSY FOR
HUNDREDS OF YEARS AND NOW NEW
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE GIVES
CREDENCE TO THE AUTHENTICITY OF
THE SHROUD.
WE HAVE THE DETAILS.
THIS IS THE STORY OF A PIECE
OF CLOTH.
SEEN HERE, RESCUED FROM A FIRE
OVER TWO DECADES AGO, SURVIVING
JUST THE LATEST SERIES OF
PERILS ACROSS A JOURNEY THROUGH
HISTORY.
THE FIRST GAZE UPON THIS
MYSTERIOUS RELIC RESEMBLES A
RORSCHACH'S TEST DATING BACK
HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF
YEARS.
ZOOM IN A LITTLE CLOSER, THOUGH,
AND THE STAINS OF REAL BLOOD
AND THE FAINT IMAGE OF A
TORTURED, CRUCIFIED MAN COMES
INTO FOCUS.
THE TYPICAL MEDIEVAL
PORTRAYALS OF THE CRUCIFIXION
CHOSE THE NAILS IN THE PALMS
BUT THEY WOULD NOT SUPPORT THE
WAIT OF THE BODY.
Reporter: LOOK LONGER, AND
THE SERENE FACE OF THAT MAN
BECOMES CLEAR.
IT SEEMS SO PEACEFUL IN
COMPARISON TO THE VIOLENCE THAT
YOU SEE ALL OVER THE REST OF
THE BODY.
Reporter: BRIAN HYLAND IS AN
EXHIBIT CURATOR AT THE MUSEUM
OF THE BIBLE.
THEY HAVE BEEN QUESTIONING
IT EVER SINCE ITS FIRST
APPEARANCE IN THE LATE 14th
CENTURY.
Reporter: IN 1988, CARBON
TESTING DATED THE SHROUD BACK
TO MEDIEVAL TIMES.
THAT TEST HAS BEEN CALLED
INTO QUESTION BY VARIOUS
EXPERTS.
THE ONLY SINGLE SAMPLE THEY
TOOK DID NOT REPRESENT ANYWHERE
ELSE ON THAT CLAUSE BECAUSE IT
HAD BEEN MANIPULATED.
Reporter: SCIENTIFIC
PROCEDURES DATES THE FABRIC
FROM THE SHROUD TO ROUGHLY 2000
YEARS AGO.
THAT ITALIAN STUDY IS JUST THE
LATEST IN A LONG SERIES OF
SCIENTIFIC TESTING, INCLUDING
STUDIES OF POLLEN PLUCKED FROM
THE SHROUD WITH THIS SCIENTIFIC
TAPE DISPENSER.
THE POLLEN WAS GATHERED -- A
LOT OF THEM ARE FROM PLANTS
THAT ARE NATIVE TO NOT JUST THE
MIDDLE EAST, BUT SPECIFICALLY
THE AREA AROUND JUDEA,
PALESTINE, AND SYRIA , FROM
THAT TIME PERIOD.
THERE IS ALSO POLLEN FROM THE
AREA AROUND CONSTANTINOPLE.
THERE WAS A LOT OF POLLEN FROM
EUROPE.
Reporter: THE POLLEN SAMPLES
SUGGEST A JOURNEY OF THOUSANDS
OF MILES FROM JERUSALEM, OR
MODERN-DAY TURKEY, AND FRANCE,
AND NOW ITALY.
THE ARTIFACT HAS BEEN KEPT
THERE SINCE THE 16th CENTURY.
SOME SAY THE CLOTH HOUSED IN
THE TURIN CATHEDRAL IS A VESSEL
FOR HUMAN BLOOD , AND THEREFORE
IT MAY BE NOTHING LESS THAN THE
HOLY GRAIL.
WHEN YOU REALIZE THE CLOCK
IS A VESSEL THAT IS CONTAINING
CHRIST'S BLOOD, THERE IT IS.
IT IS BLOOD, NOT ONLY IS IT
BLOOD, BUT IT IS TYPE AB, THE
TYPE THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH
PALESTINIAN JEWS.
Reporter: OTHERS CALL THIS A
BIT OF LINEN A FORGERY BY NONE
OTHER THAN LEONARDO DA VINCI.
THEY SAY IT IS A 500-YEAR-
OLD PHOTOGRAPH BY THAT ARTIST.
IF THAT DOES NOT SOUND CRAZY
ENOUGH, WE ARE SAYING IT IS A
500-YEAR-OLD PHOTOGRAPH OF
LEONARDO DA VINCI BECAUSE HE
USED HIS OWN FACE AS THE MODEL,
BECAUSE THAT IS THE KIND OF
THING HE DID.
Reporter: THEY PUT TOGETHER
THEIR OWN EXPERIMENTS IN AN
ATTEMPT TO REPLICATE THE
RELIGIOUS RELIC USING A BUST OF
THE ROMAN EMPIRE EMPEROR,
MARCUS AURELIUS.
THEY ALSO LOOKED AT LEONARDO DA
VINCI'S DISPUTED SALVATOR
MUNDI PAINTING.
IT IS BEING SHOWN 100 YEARS
BEFORE LEONARDO DA VINCI WAS
BORN.
HE WAS A GOOD ARTIST, BUT NOT
THAT GOOD.
Reporter: HE IS A JEWISH
PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN COLORADO.
BARRIE SCHWORTZ WAS CALLED UPON
TO PHOTOGRAPH THE SHROUD.
I WAS BIASED AGAINST IT.
I SAID ALONG THE LINE TO
SOMEBODY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE
WILL GET THERE AND FIND THE
PAINS AND BE DONE.
YEAH, IT IS 43 YEARS LATER AND
THERE WAS NOT NO PAINT.
Reporter: NO BRUSH STROKES
AND ANOTHER MYSTERY.
IT IS 3-D. SCIENTISTS USING AN
IMAGE ANALYZER REVEALED DECADES
AGO THAT THE LIGHTS AND DARKS
OF THE SHROUD IMAGE TRANSLATE
INTO DIMENSIONAL SHAPES.
A NORMAL PHOTOGRAPH ONLY
CREATES VARIATIONS OF LIGHT.
IT DOES NOT RECORD THE DISTANCE
THE CAMERA WAS FROM THE
SUBJECT.
THIS IMAGE IS CLEARLY
RECOGNIZABLE.
THIS CAN ONLY BE EXPLAINED IF
THE INTENSITY LEVELS OF THE
SHROUD IMAGE ITSELF ARE ENCODED
WITH DISTANCE INFORMATION FROM
THE CLOCK TO THE BODY.
Reporter: NOW, DAVID ROLFE
IS OUT WITH HIS FOURTH FILM,
"WHO CAN HE BE ," INVESTIGATING
THE SHROUD OF TURIN, LOOKING AT
THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY TO
DIGITALLY EXTRACT THE DATA
ENCODED IN THE FACTOR,
REVEALING A THREE DIMENSIONAL
MODEL OF A MAN.
WE CAN SEE WHAT I BELIEVE TO
BE THE BODY OF THE CRUCIFIED
JESUS IN FRONT OF US ON A PIECE
OF CLOTH. THE ONLY WAY THAT
IMAGE COULD HAVE GOTTEN ONTO
THAT CLOTH IS A MIRACULOUS ONE,
A MIRACLE THAT EMANATED FROM
THE BODY WITH UNBELIEVABLE
AMOUNTS OF ENERGY, BUT WITHIN
AN INVESTMENT REALLY SHORT
SPACE OF TIME.
Reporter: IT WILL ALWAYS
REMAIN A MYSTERY BUT FOR MANY,
THIS MIRROR OF THE GOSPEL, AS
POPE JOHN PAUL II CALLED IT,
CONNECTS THEM TO THE DIVINE.
CBN NEWS, WASHINGTON.
WHAT A REMARKABLE STORY AND
A REMARKABLE IMAGE.
WHEN YOU SEE THAT THREE
DIMENSIONAL IMAGE, IT
ABSOLUTELY IS INSPIRING.
IF YOU NEED PROOF OF THE
RESURRECTION, YOU DO NOT NEED
TO LOOK AT THE SHROUD BUT AS
GOD DIRECTLY.
HIS PROMISE IS HE WILL MANIFEST
HIMSELF.
I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE
TO PRAY A SIMPLE PRAYER.
JESUS, IF YOU ARE REAL, IF YOU
REALLY ARE MY SAVIOR, COULD YOU
SHOW UP?
COULD YOU SHOW UP FOR ME?
IF YOU PRAY THAT WITH ALL OF
YOUR HEART, THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN
YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL OF YOUR
HEART, THEN YOU WILL FIND ME.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TRUST WHAT
OTHER PEOPLE SAY OR TRUST IF
THE SHROUD IS REAL OR NOT.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TRUST IF THE
GOSPEL IS REAL OR NOT.
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR OWN
EXPERIENCE WITH JESUS CHRIST.
HE WILL SHOW UP FOR YOU AND HE
WILL ANSWER THAT PRAYER.
> UP NEXT, SHE IS THE WIFE OF
A VETERAN AND THE MOTHER OF
SEVEN.
KRISTIN WATSON TALKS ABOUT THE
POWER OF -- RIGHT AFTER THIS.
> GETTING LOTS OF
DISBELIEVING LOOKS BECAUSE OF
HOW MANY KIDS SHE HAD.
THAT IS HOW KIRSTEN WATSON
DESCRIBED HERSELF AS THE WIFE
OF BENJAMIN WATSON DURING THE
MANY MOVES THEY HAD.
SHE HAD TO TAKE A BREATH AND IT
BECAME A BREAKTHROUGH DURING
HER BUSY LIFE.
KIRSTEN WATSON IS THE MOTHER
OF SEVEN AND THE CHIEF EDITOR
OF THIS MAGAZINE.
SHE ALSO CO-HOSTS A PODCAST
WITH BENJAMIN WATSON.
SHE KNOWS WHAT IT MEANS TO
JUGGLE A VERY BUSY LIFE AND
WHAT IT FEELS -- SHE WANTS TO
HELP OTHERS, ESPECIALLY WOMEN,
DO THE SAME.
SHE SAYS WE CAN LOOK AT A
SITUATION.
WHEN WE INHALE GOD'S WORD, WE
EXHALE PIECE.
PLEASE WELCOME TO THE 700
CLUB, KIRSTEN WATSON.
IT IS GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US.
I AM EXCITED TO BE HERE.
YOU DID NOT SET OUT TO MARRY
AN NFL PLAYER AND HAVE SEVEN
CHILDREN.
YOU HAD DREAMS OF YOUR OWN.
TELL ME ABOUT THOSE.
AFTER COLLEGE, THERE WAS A
LIST OF THINGS I WANTED TO DO
AND PLACES I WANTED TO GO.
NOT THAT I DID NOT DO THOSE,
BUT ONCE I WENT INTO THE NFL
LIFE, SOME OF THAT WAS DIRECTED
FOR ME.
IT IS GREAT TO SEE HOW WE HAVE
A PLAN AND GOD HAS ANOTHER ONE.
WHEN WE OBEY HIS PLAN AND WE
READ WHAT HE HAS FOR US, THE
FRUIT OF THAT IS MUCH GREATER
THAN ANYTHING YOU COULD HAVE
EXPECTED.
THE NFL LIFE IS A LIFESTYLE.
YOU HAD ME AT THE TITLE, "SIS,
TAKE A BREATH."
YOU LEARNED A LESSON FROM A
PERSONAL TRAINER.
WHAT WAS IT AND HOW DID YOU
BECOME A BREAKTHROUGH FOR YOUR
LIFE?
I WOULD ALWAYS WORK OUT.
I KNEW WHAT IT MEANT TO, YOU
KNOW, LIFT WEIGHTS AND RUN.
THIS TRAINER SAID -- THEY
NOTICED I WAS WORKING OUT
INCORRECTLY.
SHE TAUGHT ME MY BREATH WAS NOT
-- I WAS MUSCLING THROUGH THE
EXERCISE. WHAT I REALIZED, AT
THAT POINT, IT WAS DESCRIBING A
LOT OF HOW I WAS LIVING MY
LIFE.
I WAS DOING IT WELL BUT I WAS
NOT REALLY LEANING ON THE
STRENGTH THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME
BY THE LORD.
IT BECAME A DIFFERENT WAY OF
LOOKING AT HOW WE LIVE OUR
LIVES AND HOW I WAS RUSHING
THROUGH AND DOING MY BEST AND
TRUDGING THROUGH THINGS, BUT
HOW GOD WAS OFFERING SOMETHING
ELSE, EVEN THROUGH THE HARD
TIMES, OFFERING WORDS OF
ENCOURAGEMENT, HIS STRENGTH
THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT, TO GET
ME THROUGH THINGS NOT ONLY
CHALLENGING, BUT FOR GOOD
TIMES.
IT WAS THAT TRAINER WHO CALLED
ME ON HOW I WAS WORKING OUT.
I DID NOT THINK ABOUT HOW I WAS
LIVING MY LIFE.
Reporter: TALK ABOUT TAKING
A BREATH.
YOUR BOOK, "SIS, TAKE A
BREATH," IT IS MORE THAN JUST
GRITTING YOUR TEETH BUT YOU
REALLY CAN TAKE A BREATH
SPIRITUALLY.
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
I THINK WHAT I AM REALIZING
THE MOST NOW IS THE IMPORTANCE
OF BEING IN GOD'S WORD.
AS WOMEN, ESPECIALLY, WE HAVE A
LOT ON OUR PLATE AND WE WANT TO
DO EVERYTHING WELL.
WHAT HAPPENS IS WE RELY ON OUR
OWN CONTROL AND STRENGTH TO GET
US THROUGH THINGS.
WHAT I AM REALIZING THE MORE I
AM IN GOD'S WORD AND UNDERSTAND
HOW HE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE,
THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS
ONE THING THAT I HAD NOT TAPPED
INTO.
UNDERSTANDING HOW EVERY MOMENT
THAT I HAVE BREATH IS A LIFE
I'M LIVING FOR HIM AND THE
KINGDOM AND NOT NECESSARILY FOR
MYSELF -- THAT IS THE POWER
THAT THE BOOK WILL HOPEFULLY
ENCOURAGE WOMEN TO DO.
WE WANT TO DO OUR LIFE WELL AND
ARE ALL BUSY AND VERY TIRED,
BUT GOD IS INVITING US INTO A
TIME WHERE WHETHER WE DO
SOMETHING GOOD OR SOMETHING
BAD, HE IS ALWAYS SPEAKING AND
ALWAYS TALKING TO US AND
ENCOURAGING US AND WHEN WE ARE
IN HIS WORD, WE CAN RELY ON
THAT AND DO CONSISTENT PRAYER
THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
IT GIVES US STRENGTH TO MOVE ON
WITH WHATEVER WE ARE FACED
WITH.
YOU TALK ABOUT DEVELOPING
DARK ALLEY FRIENDSHIPS.
IT SOUNDS LIKE SUCH A NEGATIVE
THING, LIKE SOMEONE BEING
ATTACKED BETWEEN BUILDINGS IN
AN ALLEYWAY.
YOU SAY THOSE FRIENDSHIPS HAVE
BROUGHT YOU THROUGH THICK AND
THIN.
YOU HAVE MOVED SO MUCH.
HOW DO YOU DEVELOP A DARK ALLEY
FRIENDS?
IT IS FUNNY YOU SAY THAT.
IN A DARK ALLEY, YOU WANT
PEOPLE AROUND YOU.
THE IDEA IS YOU WANT SOMEONE
WHO WILL STAY AND WHO WILL SEE
YOU AND HELP YOU.
THE IDEA IS, YOU KNOW, WE DID
NOT HAVE A LOT OF TIME IN THE
NFL.
WE DID NOT KNOW HOW LONG WE
WERE GOING TO BE IN EACH CITY.
IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO MAKE
FRIENDSHIPS, DEEP FRIENDSHIPS,
FAST.
THE ENTIRE -- THEY SEE YOU AND
KNOW YOU.
YOU CAN BE COMPLETELY HONEST
WITH THEM.
WHO WILL PRAY WITH YOU AND PUT
YOU IN YOUR PLACE AND SAY, HEY,
I DO NOT THINK YOU HANDLED THAT
WELL.
THIS IS REALLY A COMMUNITY.
THAT SHOULD BE THE BODY OF
CHRIST.
WE ARE ABLE TO SPEAK INTO EACH
OTHER'S LIVES THIS IDEA THAT WE
ARE NOT -- THESE FRIENDSHIPS,
THESE PEOPLE AROUND US, PEOPLE
WHO CARE FOR US AND UNDERSTAND
WHAT OUR GOALS ARE AND
UNDERSTAND WHAT WE WANT TO DO,
FOLLOW, AND BECOME -- THE WOMEN
THAT GOD WANTS US TO BE.
SOMETIMES WE ARE SO ISOLATED
AND I THINK THE IDEA BEHIND THE
FRIENDSHIPS IS WE ARE DOING
LIFE IN COMMUNITY AND DOING
THIS TO THE BEST OF OUR
ABILITY.
PEOPLE AROUND US LOVE AND SEE
AND CARE ABOUT US FOR WHO WE
ARE.
KIRSTEN, YOU STRUGGLED FOR
TWO MISCARRIAGES.
YOU HAVE SEVEN CHILDREN BUT YOU
LOST TWO PRACTICES WITHIN FOUR
MONTHS.
THAT WOULD BE AN EMOTIONAL
TRAUMA FOR ANYBODY.
TALK ABOUT HOW YOU MANAGED
THAT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST KIND OF
TRY TO GET ON WITH LIFE AND
CARRY ON, BUT THERE IS A LOT
THAT HAS TO BE DEALT WITH, AND
IT IS NOT JUST A MISCARRIAGE
BUT THINGS THAT CREATE THAT.
I REALLY THINK WHEN WE ARE
IN CHURCHES, THE WORDS THAT WE
SEE AND WE READ IN THE BIBLE
ARE SO TRUE.
WHEN WE READ AND KNOW THAT GOD
IS FAITHFUL AND WE -- IT IS NOT
UNTIL WE GO THROUGH SOMETHING
THAT WE CAN SAY, I REALLY
BELIEVE IT.
I WILL NOT SAY -- I DID NOT
HANDLE THE FIRST ONE WELL.
I WENT INTO ISOLATION AND KEPT
TRUDGING THROUGH.
IT WAS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
SEASON.
BUT THE SECOND ONE, IT REALLY
DID HELP ME TO REALIZE I DID
NOT GRIEVE APPROPRIATELY FOR
THE FIRST ONE.
I HAD SOME TALKING TO DO WITH
GOD, UNDERSTANDING WHY THIS
HAPPENED.
I STILL DO NOT KNOW BUT I DO
KNOW ON THE OTHER SIDE OF IT,
BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO SPEAK OUT
ABOUT IT, THERE ARE MANY WOMEN
AND FAMILIES GOING THROUGH THE
SAME ISOLATED THING, THROUGH
MISCARRIAGES OR THINGS THAT ARE
TAUGHT IN LIFE.
WHAT I DO KNOW ON THE OTHER
SIDE IS WHEN I SAY GOD IS
FAITHFUL, I REMEMBER HIS
FAITHFULNESS THROUGH THOSE
TIMES.
I KNOW THAT -- THE TRIUMPHS AND
EVERYTHING ELSE.
HOPEFULLY, WE CAN POINT PEOPLE
BACK TO JESUS.
I CANNOT SAY THEY WILL NOT
HAPPEN.
I WISH THEY DID NOT, BUT THEY
DID IN MY LIFE.
AS A RESULT, MY FAITHFULNESS
AND MY BELIEF IN THE LORD IS SO
I THINK IT IS THROUGH THOSE
TRIALS THAT WE REALIZE WHAT WE
BELIEVE IS TRUE AND NOT JUST A
SONG THAT WE SING OR A VERSE
THAT WE MEMORIZE.
IT IS THROUGH THOSE TRIALS WE
ACTUALLY BELIEVE WHAT WE
BELIEVE, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
YOUR HUSBAND IS NOW RETIRED
FROM THE NFL.
IS IT LESS HECTIC FOR YOU?
NO.
I HAVE TO SAY -- THE FIRST 16
YEARS IS GREAT, BUT I LOVE
HAVING HIM HOME.
IT HAS BEEN SO GREAT.
I THINK BEING HOME WITH COVID
KIND OF HELP THAT, FOR HIM TO
BE HOME.
OUR KIDS LOVE HAVING HIM POKE.
HE IS SO TALENTED THAT HE IS
ASKED TO DO 1 MILLION THINGS,
SO IT IS NOT LESS HECTIC.
IT IS STILL A GREAT TIME TO BE
STARTING A NEW SEASON, REALLY,
FOR OUR FAMILY AND OUR MARRIAGE
AND TO SEE HOW HE HAS BEEN
SPLURGING IS REALLY COOL TO
SEE.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL
PERSPECTIVE.

IT HAS BEEN SUCH A HUGE HELP
FOR US.

THEY FILLED MY CAR UP.

> A TORN MENISCUS.
THE INJURY MIGHT HEAL ITSELF.
IF NOT, SURGERY AND EIGHT
MONTHS OF HEALING TO FOLLOW.
SEE WHAT SHE DID INSTEAD WHILE
SITTING ON HER COUCH.
> WE WILL PRAY FOR YOU AND
FOR YOUR NEEDS WHEN WE COME
BACK.
> IN A SECOND, ROBIN BROCK
HAD HER ACTIVE LIFESTYLE
DERAILED.
HER DOG WAS ALSO DEPRESSED THAT
SHE COULD NO LONGER WALK AT A
NORMAL PACE.
THE DOCTOR SAID SHE WAS FACING
WEEKS, MAYBE EVEN MONTHS,
BEFORE HEALING.
WHAT HAPPENED INSTEAD?
ROBIN WAS INSTANTLY HEALED,
SITTING ON HER COUCH.
AN EXCRUCIATING PAIN.
IT IS LIKE, LORD, WHY IS THIS
HAPPENING?
I REALLY DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO
DO.
I NEVER HURT MYSELF LIKE THAT
BEFORE.
ONE EVENING, I WAS IN THE
KITCHEN, COOKING DINNER, AND MY
FOOT CAUGHT, AND I JUST
RETURNED AND THIS EXCRUCIATING
PAIN CAME IN MY KNEE, ON THE
INSIDE.
IT WAS LIKE A JABBING KNIFE,
JUST -- JUST EXCRUCIATING.
I NEVER FELT IT BEFORE.
THEN, WHEN I TRIED TO WALK AND
TOOK A STEP, IT WAS ALL OVER
AGAIN.
SO, THAT IS WHEN I HAD TO HOP
TO THE COUCH.
I MADE IT TO THE DOCTOR AND
FOUND OUT IT WAS A TORN
MENISCUS.
THE DOCTORS HAD SAID, BECAUSE
IT IS RIPPED, GIVE IT SOME
TIME.
IT MIGHT HEAL OR HE MIGHT HAVE
TO DO SURGERY.
INSTEAD OF EIGHT WEEKS OF
SEEING IF IT WILL HEAL ITSELF,
IT WOULD BE EIGHT MONTHS OR
MORE JUST TO HEAL.
I WAS LIKE, I DO NOT HAVE THAT
-- I CANNOT DO THAT.
THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
BUT, I HAD TO LISTEN TO MY BODY
AND I HAD TO STOP AND TAKE
THINGS SLOWER.
SOMETHING THAT WOULD TAKE ME
HALF AN HOUR TO WALK MY DOG WAS
TAKING THE AN HOUR.
THAT IS GOING REALLY SLOW FOR
HER AND IT IS FRUSTRATING FOR
ME.
IT WOULD BE VERY PAINFUL AT
CERTAIN TIMES.
SO, HAVING THE KNEE INJURY,
HAVING TO SLOW DOWN, WAS
DEPRESSING.
I WAS LIKE, LORD, HEAL THIS.
SITTING ON THE COUCH, THE 700
CLUB CAME ON AND THAT IS WHEN I
SAW GORDON ON.
AS WE REACH THE FOURTH AND
AS WE TOUCH THAT AREA OF THE
BODY THAT NEEDS HEALING, WE
AGREE TOGETHER, WE SAY OUT LOUD
TO IT, BE HEALED AND BE MADE
WHOLE.
MAY ALL PAIN LEAVE ME, IN
JESUS' NAME.
I RECEIVE IT NOW.
NOW, WHAT YOU COULD NOT DO
BEFORE, DO NOW.
IF YOU COULD NOT MOVE YOUR
LEGS, MOVE YOUR LEGS.
IF YOU COULD NOT WIGGLE YOUR
TOES, WIGGLE YOUR TOES.
IF YOU COULD NOT MAKE A FIST,
MAKE A FIST.
RAISE YOUR ARMS TO HIM AND
BEGIN TO PRAISE HIM AND SAY,
LORD, BE GLORIFIED IN ME.
WHEN HE SAID, LET'S PRAY AND
PUT YOUR HANDS ON THE PART
THAT'S HURTING YOU, I PUT IT ON
MY KNEE AND WE SET THE PRAYER.
I KNOW WHEN I AM SAYING IT,
AFTERWARDS, I AM THINKING,
LORD, REALLY?
AM I WORTHY OF THIS?
BY FAITH, I AM GOING TO DO
THIS.
I THOUGHT, OKAY, WELL I AM
GOING TO WALK.
I WAS WALKING AND NOT HURTING.
IT WAS ONLY WITHIN A SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME, AFTER BEING
DIAGNOSED WHEN I WAS LIKE,
OKAY, THIS IS AWESOME.
THIS IS A MIRACLE.
IT WAS AN AMAZING FEELING.
IT WAS JUST LIKE, THANK YOU,
LORD.
IN MY HEART, I FELT SO JOYFUL
AND BACK TO MYSELF.
MY DOG, SHE WAS -- OH, MY
GOODNESS.
SHE WAS SO HAPPY THAT MOMMY WAS
BACK TO WALKING FAST.
YOU COULD SEE THE DELIGHT IN
HER STEP.
I KNOW THAT GOD HEALED ME,
BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT.
BELIEVING IN HIM AND HAVING HIM
AS MY SAVIOR, IT IS JUST THE
MOST AMAZING THING IN THE WORLD
BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
I AM HIS DAUGHTER.
I MADE IN HIS IMAGE.
HE DOES NOT WANT ME TO BE HURT.
ANYBODY CAN ASK AND BE HEALED.
ANYBODY CAN ASK AND BE SAVED.
ANYONE CAN ASK.
WE ARE CHILDREN OF THE MOST
HIGH GOD.
HIS ARMS ARE ALWAYS STRETCHED
OUT TO US.
I WAS REALLY IN A DEVOTIONAL
THIS MORNING THAT TALKED ABOUT
GOD WRAPPING HIS LOVE LIKE A
BLANKET OF LIGHT AROUND US AND
IT IS THERE.
TODAY, WE WANT TO TAKE SOME
TIME TO PRAY FOR YOU.
WE WANT TO TAKE SOME TIME TO
LIFT UP YOUR NEEDS TOGETHER, IN
UNITY, BEFORE THE THRONE, AND
THAT GOD WILL STRETCH HIS HANDS
OUT AND TOUCH YOU IN THE PLACE
OF NEED.
I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU WITH
MORE.
IN DALLAS, HE DAMAGED THE
SHOULDER IN 2019 AND SINCE
THEN, WAS SUFFERING AGONIZING
PAIN.
ON MAY 13th, LAST MONTH, HE WAS
WATCHING THIS PROGRAM AND
GORDON SAID, THERE IS SOMEONE
WHO I SUFFERED WITH A BROKEN
SHOULDER FOR YEARS.
IT HAPPENED IN AN ACCIDENT AND
IS VERY PAINFUL FOR YOU TO MOVE
YOUR RIGHT ARM OR SHOULDER.
THERE IS A SHOOTING PAIN THAT
GOES UP INTO YOUR NECK.
GOD IS HEALING ALL THE BONES,
ALL THE TENDONS, ALL THE
MUSCLES, EVERYTHING CONCERNING
IT.
YOU FELT A HEAVY WAIT GOING TO
THAT SHOULDER AND GOD IS
HEALING YOU.
BY FAITH, HE STRETCHED OUT HIS
ARM AND THE PAIN WAS COMPLETELY
GONE.
AMEN.
HERE IS ONE, VICTORIA FROM
ALBANY.
THEY HAD CHRONIC NECK PAIN FROM
DEGENERATIVE BONE NERVE ISSUES.
SHE WAS WATCHING THIS SHOW LAST
MONTH, MAY 3rd.
SHE HEARD TERRY SAY THERE IS
SOMEONE WHO HAS SOME KIND OF
DEGENERATIVE BONE DISEASE.
YOU ARE IN CHRONIC PAIN, ALL
THE TIME.
THE PAIN WAS SO DEEP THAT THERE
WAS A CONSTANT ACHE THROUGHOUT
YOUR BODY AND IT IS BEGINNING
TO TWIST SOME OF YOUR BONES.
GOD IS HEALING YOU FROM THAT
RIGHT NOW.
JUST RECEIVED IT.
BEGIN TO PRAISE HIM FOR IT.
RECEIVE IT.
YOU ARE BEING HEALED.
AS VICTORIA THANKED GOD FOR HER
COMPLETE HEALING, SHE KNEW IT
WAS TRUE.
SHE CALLED THE CBN PRAYER LINE,
PRAISING GOD FOR HER HEALING.
ROBIN SAID SOMETHING I THINK A
LOT OF PEOPLE ASK.
AM I WORTHY?
AM I WORTHY?
THE ANSWER IS, JESUS MAKES YOU
WORTHY.
HE MAKES YOU WORTHY.
SHE ANSWERED HER OWN QUESTION,
SAYING, I AM MADE IN THE IMAGE
OF GOD.
I AM HIS CHILD.
WHEN YOU HAVE THAT
UNDERSTANDING OF WHO YOU ARE,
WHO CREATED YOU, WHO FORMED YOU
FROM THE DUST OF THE GROUND,
WHO BREATHED THE LIFE INTO YOU,
WHO GAVE YOU LIFE AND CAME TO
GIVE YOU MORE LIFE AND MORE
ABUNDANT LIFE, THEN IT ALL
FALLS INTO PLACE AND YOU HAVE
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO BELIEVE
HEALING.
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD,
THAT IS YOU, THAT HE GAVE HIS
ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, READY TO
GIVE IT TO YOU.
WHOSOEVER -- YOU CAN BE A
"WHOSOEVER" -- THEY WOULD NOT
PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING
LIFE.
IF YOU HAVE THE FAITH TO
BELIEVE FOR SALVATION, YOU HAVE
ALL THE FAITH YOU NEED TO
BELIEVE FOR HEALING.
IN AN ACT OF FAITH, LAY YOUR
HAND ON THAT AREA OF THE BODY
THAT NEEDS HEALING.
DO EXACTLY WHAT ROBIN DID.
LAY YOUR HAND AND BELIEVE.
LAY YOUR HAND.
IT IS AN ACT OF FAITH.
THEN SAY, JESUS, I THANK YOU. I
THANK YOU.
COME INTO HIS PRESENCE WITH
THANKSGIVING.
THEN, HE WILL DO WHAT HE
PROMISED TO DO.
HE PROMISED HE WOULD FORGIVE
ALL YOUR INIQUITIES AND HE
WOULD HEAL ALL YOUR DISEASES.
LET'S PRAY.
> LORD, GOD, AS WE REACH OUT,
WE REACH OUT WITH HANDS OF
FAITH AND LAY IT ON THAT AREA
OF THE BODY THAT NEEDS HEALING.
WE COME INTO AGREEMENT NOW,
TOUCHING IT.
YOUR WORD SAYS, IF TWO OR MORE
AGREE, TOUCHING ANYTHING, WE
LOVE YOU -- YOU ARE YOUR WORD
AND YOU PERFORM IT.
YOU WATCH OVER IT.
WATCH OVER US NOW.
LET YOUR WORDS BECOME FLESH IN
OUR BODIES NOW.
HEAL ALL OUR DISEASES.
CARRY AWAY ALL HOUR INIQUITIES.
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICE
AND WE THANK YOU FOR THE CROSS.
WE THANK YOU FOR THE
RESURRECTION.
WE THANK YOU, THAT YOU HAVE
GIVEN US YOUR WORD AND HAVE
GIVEN US CAUSE TO HOPE.
STRETCH FORTH YOUR HAND.
MANIFEST YOUR PRESENCE.
BE THAT BLANKET OF LIGHT AROUND
US RIGHT NOW.
OPEN OUR EYES, THAT WE CAN SEE
IT.
GIVE US A HEART OF
UNDERSTANDING, THAT WE MAY KNOW
THE GREATNESS OF YOUR POWER.
MAY WE BE HEALED NOW IN JESUS'
NAME.
> THERE IS A WOMAN NAMED
VICKI AND GORDON HAS BEEN
TALKING ABOUT HANDS AND YOU ARE
SAYING, MY HANDS ARE THE
PROBLEM.
SUCH A PAIN.
RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE LIFTING YOUR
HANDS BECAUSE YOU CANNOT PLAY
THEM ON THEMSELVES.
GOD IS HEALING YOU RIGHT NOW.

YOUR HANDS.
PRAISE HIM, AS HE SETS YOU
FREE, IN JESUS' NAME.
