> WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

TWO PILLS THAT CAN BE ORDERED

ONLINE IN MINUTES.

THIS DO-IT-YOURSELF ABORTION

METHOD IS ON THE RISE. IT CAN

ALSO BE DANGEROUS.

IF ROE V. WADE IS

OVERTURNED, SOME ARE LOOKING TO

THE FUTURE OF THE ABORTION

BATTLE IN AMERICA.

BOTH SIDES AGREE THE NEXT FIGHT

WILL BE OVER THE PILLS KNOWN AS

RU486.

THEY ARE USED IN MORE THAN

50% OF ALL ABORTIONS AND IF THE

SUPREME COURT OVERTURNS ROE V.

WADE , THEY WILL BECOME THE NEW

BATTLEGROUND.

SUE

THEY ARE SAFE.

THERE IS A BIG REASON WHY

ACTIVISTS ARE AGGRESSIVELY

PROMOTING THE PILLS, ALSO KNOWN

AS RU-486.

ONE PHRASE YOU WILL HEAR, SELF

MANAGED ABORTION.

THEY WANT WOMEN TO USE THEM AT

HOME.

WE ARE SEEING THESE ARTICLES

POP UP OVER AND OVER AGAIN, HOW

TO DO IT YOURSELF ABORTIONS.

THEY FOUND OUT HERSELF HOW

EASY IT CAN BE TO GET THESE

PILLS.

SHE ORDERED THEM ONLINE IN

MINUTES LAST MONTH IN WYOMING.

THAT IS THANKS TO THE FDA,

WHICH RECENTLY LIFTED THE

REQUIREMENT FOR AN IN-PERSON

EXAM.

THIS PRESENTED AS IT IS JUST

TAKING A PILL.

IT IS NO BIG DEAL.

THEY SAY THE ABORTION

INDUSTRY MINIMIZES THE RISKS

AND PROMOTING THE METHOD. IT IS

WHY SHE TOOK THE PILLS IN HIGH

SCHOOL.

CLOSE TO TWO MONTHS LATER,

WHILE I WAS IN SCHOOL, I BEGAN

TO FEEL EXCRUCIATING PAIN.

I JUST REMEMBER GOING HOME AND

FOR HOURS, GOING TO THE

BATHROOM, BACK TO MY BED, AND

JUST HOPING THE PAIN WOULD

PASS.

Reporter: WHILE KEEPING HER

SEVERE HEMORRHAGING A SECRET

THEN, SHE IS NOW TELLING HER

STORY TO WARN WOMEN OF THE

DANGER.

I WAS JUST NOT EDUCATED.

I JUST DID NOT KNOW.

I DID NOT KNOW THE TERM

HEMORRHAGING.

Reporter: THEY SHOW ABORTION

PILLS HAVE LED TO THE DEATHS OF

24 WOMEN AND SEVERE REACTIONS

FOR MORE THAN 4000.

THOSE NUMBERS ARE LIKELY LOW

BECAUSE, WHEN COMPLICATIONS

HAPPEN, WOMEN ARE PRESENTED AS

MISCARRIAGES.

THE CDC DOES NOT REQUIRE

ABORTION REPORTING, AND --

WE NEED A NATIONAL REPORTING

LAW.

WE DO NOT HAVE GOOD STATISTICS

ON ABORTION, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE

ARE TALKING ABOUT COMPLICATIONS

OF ABORTION.

Reporter: FOR NOW, PRO-LIFE

STRATEGISTS ARE WORKING WITH

STATES TO PUT RESTRICTIONS ON

ABORTION PILLS.

MORE THAN 20 REQUIRE A DOCTOR

TO BE PRESENT FOR A WOMAN TO

RECEIVE THEM.

YOU CANNOT MAKE THEM ILLEGAL

PER SE BECAUSE IT IS AN

APPROVED PHARMACEUTICAL THROUGH

THE FEDERAL FDA.

SO, THAT IS THE IRONY AND THAT

IS THE RUB.

Reporter: LEGAL EXPERTS ON

BOTH SIDES EXPECT THAT ROB WILL

BE THE NEW FOCUS OF STATE

LEGISLATION AND LITIGATION.

THE GENERAL COUNSEL FOR

AMERICANS UNITED FOR LIFE SAYS

THERE IS PRECEDENT FOR

RESTRICTING THE PILLS.

THE ABORTION INDUSTRY ARGUES

THAT THE FDA HAS TIED THE HANDS

OF THE STATE, HE TOLD CBN NEWS.

THE FACT IS THE CASE LAW IN

THIS AREA ALREADY STRONGLY

SUGGESTS THAT STATES WILL HAVE

THE POWER TO REGULATE AND EVEN

PROHIBIT.

BOTH SIDES ARE GEARING UP FOR A

FIGHT THAT ENCOMPASSES LAW,

HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATIONS,

INTERNET COMMERCE, AND WHAT OUR

CULTURE SAYS ABOUT UNBORN LIFE.

HEATHER SELLS, CBN NEWS.

WE ALL AWAIT THE SUPREME

COURT RULING.

WILL IT OVERTURN ROE VERSUS

WADE?

IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL.

THAT LEAKED OPINION SEEMS TO BE

THE DECISION GOING FORWARD, SO

WHAT WILL THEN HAPPEN?

WE WILL SEE A WHOLE LOT OF NEW

REGULATIONS AND A WHOLE LOT OF

NEW STATE LAWS, BUT IN THAT,

ARE WE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE

HEALTH OF WOMEN?

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS, YOU CAN

ORDER THIS PILL ONLINE.

YOU DO NOT NEED A PRESCRIPTION

FOR IT.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE UNDER

DOCTOR SUPERVISION.

I CANNOT IMAGINE A SITUATION

WHERE THAT WOULD EVER BE SAFE.

IN OTHER NEWS, A BEAR MARKET

AND RISING INFLATION HAVE MORE

ECONOMISTS PREDICTING A

RECESSION.

EFREM GRAHAM HAS THAT STORY

FROM OUR CBN NEWS ROOM.

Reporter: GORDON, ANOTHER

KEY INDEX OF INFLATION IS

HIGHER TODAY.

THE PRODUCER PRICE INDEX ROSE

0.8% IN MAY.

THIS COMES AS THE STOCK MARKET

DROPS TO NEW LEVELS.

THE DOW INDUSTRIAL LOST 876

POINTS MONDAY, HURTING SAVINGS

AND POINTING TO A WEAK ECONOMY.

JENNA BROWDER HAS THE STORY

FROM WASHINGTON.

Reporter: AFTER A DISMAL

START TO THE WEEK ON WALL

STREET, THERE APPEARS A

RECESSION COULD SOON BE COMING.

A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE FED

TOMORROW IS CAUSING EVEN MORE

CONCERN.

THE S&P 500, THE INDEX TIED TO

MOST 401(K)s, FINISHING DOWN

NEARLY 4% MONDAY AND MORE THAN

20% FOR THE YEAR, OFFICIALLY

ENTERING BEAR MARKET TERRITORY.

THE OVERALL TAKEAWAY IS THE

RECESSION RISK HAS RISEN AND IT

LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE A LOT

HARDER THAN ANYONE ANTICIPATED.

Reporter: INFLATION POUNDING

CONSUMERS.

EVERYTHING FROM GAS NOW

AVERAGING MORE THAN FIVE

DOLLARS A GALLON TO GROCERIES,

GOING UP.

THIS MINNESOTA STATION PUTTING

IT THIS WAY.

WE HAD OUR GAS GAS PRICES THAT

WE HATE.

THEY SHOW 50% OF AMERICANS

ARE DIPPING INTO SAVINGS TO PAY

THEIR BILLS AND SOME ARE

RESORTING TO CREDIT CARDS.

WE ARE SEEING MORE USE OF

CREDIT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE

TRYING TO SORT OF FIGURE OUT A

WAY TO FILL IN THE GAP IN THEIR

HOUSEHOLD BUDGETS.

Reporter: THE FEDERAL

RESERVE IS EXPECTED TO TAKE

AGGRESSIVE ACTION TOMORROW,

POTENTIALLY RAISING INTEREST

RATES BY THREE QUARTERS OF A

POINT, THE STEEPEST HIKE SINCE

1994.

THE FED WAS LEADING WITH

FIGHTING INFLATION AND NOW THEY

ARE SCRAMBLING AND THE

OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN TIGHTENING

WAS THERE.

YOU CAN MAKE THE ARGUMENT THEY

SHOULD HAVE BEEN RAISING RATES

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

:REPUBLICANS BLAME GOVERNMENT

SPENDING FOR INFLATION.

SENATOR JOHNSON CITED THE 1.9

TRILLION-DOLLAR AMERICAN RESCUE

PLAN IN A RECENT HEARING.

THERE IS NO QUESTION IT

OVERHEATED THE ECONOMY AND THAT

IS WHY WE HAVE THE MESS WE

HAVE.

Reporter: JANET YELLEN MILL

SAYS IT WAS NECESSARY TO PUT

THEM OUT OF A SLUMP.

THE OVERWHELMING RISK IS

THAT AMERICANS WOULD BE SCARRED

BY A DEEP AND LONG RECESSION.

EITHER WAY, IT SPELLS

TROUBLE FOR PRESIDENT JOE

BIDEN.

HIS POLLS ARE AT AN ALL-TIME

LOW.

MOST AMERICANS EXCITING

INFLATION FOR THE REASON.

THE ECONOMY IS EXPECTED TO HURT

DEMOCRATS IN THE MIDTERM

ELECTIONS.

A NEW ARTICLE SAYS THERE ARE

MANY DEMOCRATS WHISPERING THE

PRESIDENT HIMSELF SHOULD NOT

RUN AGAIN IN 2024.

IN WASHINGTON, JENNA BROWDER,

CBN NEWS.

> ELECTION SEASON CONTINUES

TODAY AS SEVERAL STATES HOLD

PRIMARIES, GEARING UP FOR THE

MIDTERMS.

THE MAIN FOCUS IS ON NEVADA,

WHICH ITS TOP PRIZE COULD BE TO

FLIP THE SENATE.

THEY'RE TRYING TO HOLD ONTO IT.

MATT GALKA REPORTS FROM LAS

VEGAS.

> IN LAS VEGAS, THE STAKES

ARE ALWAYS PRETTY HIGH.

HALFWAY FOR PRIMARY SEASON, THE

POLITICAL STAKES GET A LITTLE

HIGHER WITH NEVADA PLAYING A

MAJOR ROLE ON THE NATIONAL

STAGE AND IT COULD ULTIMATELY

BE THE DECIDER AFTER NOVEMBER.

GOP CANDIDATE ADAM LAXALT MET

WITH SUPPORTERS IN LAS VEGAS

OVER THE WEEKEND.

THE FORMER STATE ATTORNEY

GENERAL HAS HIS EYES SET ON

WASHINGTON AND THE SENATE.

WE HAVE THE BEST OPPORTUNITY

IN A VERY LONG TIME TO HAVE

THIS HUGE CONTRAST WITH TWO

FORMER AG'S IN A BIG CLASH IN

WHAT IS GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST

SENATE RACE IN AMERICA.

SAM BROWN AND ADAM LAXALT ARE

FIGHTING TO TAKE ON INCUMBENT

SENATOR CATHERINE CORTEZ MASTO,

CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MORE

VULNERABLE IN THE COUNTRY .

THEY FLIPPED THE SENATE IN 2016

AND NOW NEVADA'S MIDTERM COULD

BE KEY DECIDER IN DECIDING WHO

WILL CONTROL THE CHAMBER AFTER

2022.

THIS IS A POTENTIAL TURNING

POINT FOR THE COUNTRY AND IF WE

DO NOT WIN THIS RACE AND AGAIN

THE PRESIDENCY IN 2024, I SEE

THE COUNTRY GOING INTO A SEVERE

DECLINE.

Reporter: GARY HARTMAN CHOSE

ADAM LAXALT BECAUSE OF ONE KEY

ENDORSEMENT.

ULTIMATELY, I AM A STRONG

TRUMP SUPPORTER AND HE IS VERY

STRONG WITH HIS ENDORSEMENT.

Reporter: THE RACE IS

SHAPING UP TO BE NECK AND NECK

IN A YEAR WHEN DEMOCRATS ARE UP

AGAINST RECORD INFLATION AND

THIS INDEPENDENT INSIDER,

ELIZABETH THOMPSON, SAYS

POCKETBOOK ISSUES WILL LIKELY

BE THE PRIORITY FOR VOTERS.

THE DEMOCRATS ARE ON THE

DEFENSIVE AND IT IS JUST THE

WAY THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC

COOKIE CRUMBLES.

WE ALL KNOW THE THINGS

AFFECTING THE ECONOMY ARE IN

PLAY AND THEY ARE NOT ALL JOE

BIDEN'S RESPONSIBILITY, BUT THE

VOTERS DO NOT SEE IT THAT WAY.

VOTERS CAN BE, I WOULD SAY,

REACTIONARY, ESPECIALLY WHEN

THINGS ARE BAD.

POLITICAL INSIDER SARAH SAYS

ONLY ONE REAL TOSSUP RACE, BUT

READ RESTRICTING COULD PLAY A

ROLE IN A POTENTIAL RED WAVE,

NOVEMBER.

AMERICANS IN SEARCH OF

INSPIRATIONS FOUNDED DURING A

POPULAR TELEVISION TALENT

COMPETITION.

AN 11-YEAR-OLD GIRL WOWED THE

AUDIENCE AND THE JUDGES ON

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT WITH HER

PERFORMANCE OF "AMAZING GRACE."

MADISON TAYLOR WAS THERE TO BE

A CONTESTED WATCHING THE TAPE

BE WITH HER DAD.

PRODUCERS PUT HER IN THE

AUDIENCE TO SING DURING A

COMMERCIAL BREAK AND THEY

WANTED TO SEE IF THE JUDGES

WOULD NOTICE HER.

HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED.

THAT IS WHEN SHE WAS CALLED TO

THE STAGE AND SHE SANG AGAIN.

THE CROWD CHANTED AND FOR HER

TO GET THE GOLD BUZZER AND THEY

RANG IT.

THEY SECURED HER A SPOT IN THE

FINALS.

THEY ASKED WHAT SHE WOULD DO IF

SHE WON THE MILLION-DOLLAR

CONTEST AND SHE SAID SHE WOULD

FUND CANCER RESEARCH TO HELP

HER DAD, WHO HAS STAGE IV COLON

CANCER.

VIEWERS CAN READ THIS ENTIRE

STORY AND FIND A LINK AT

CBNNEWS.COM.

ALL I CAN SAY IS, WOW.

THAT IS AN AMAZING THING AND

AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE.

THE CANCER RESEARCH -- LET'S

PRAY FOR HER FATHER.

STAGE IV CAN BE REVERSED.

LET'S BELIEVE FOR THE BEST FOR

BOTH OF THEM.

> STILL COMING UP, THEY

SHARED THE STAGE WITH LeANN

RIMES AND KENNY CHESNEY.

CURTIS GRIMES WAS PARTYING

HARD.

SEE WHY HE DECIDED TO CLEAN UP

HIS ACT AND WHY HIS RECORD

LABEL DROPPED HIM.

THAT IS COMING UP.

> HE HAS BEEN CALLED A

KINGMAKER BUT HOW MUCH

INFLUENCE DOES DONALD TRUMP

ACTUALLY HAVE AMONG REPUBLICAN

VOTERS?

WE WILL TAKE A LOOK RIGHT AFTER

THIS.

> THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS ARE

TAKING SHAPE AND FORMER

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS

PLANNING A MAJOR.

MATT GALKA TAKES A LOOK AT THE

IMPACT TRUMP IS HAVING ON THE

RACES.

THE PRIMARY WINS AND LOSSES

ARE STARTING TO ADD UP FOR

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP

AND WHILE HIS WORDS STILL GOES

VERY FAR IN THE REPUBLICAN

PARTY, HIS KING MAKING ABILITY

MAY NOT BE AS IRONCLAD THIS

PRIMARY SEASON.

WE ARE GOING TO SEND DR. OZ

TO FIGHT FOR YOU AND THE U.S.

SENATE.

I WANT TO PICK SOMEBODY WHO IS

GOING TO WIN IN THIS MAN IS

GOING TO WIN.

THERE IS NO -- SHE HAS GONE

CRAZY.

Reporter: THE FORMER

PRESIDENT HAS NOT SHIED AWAY

FROM WEIGHING IN ON SOME OF THE

MOST PIVOTAL RACES.

THE QUESTION OVER HOW MUCH

INFLUENCE HE STILL BRINGS TO

THE TABLE CONTINUES TO BE

THOROUGHLY DISSECTED.

ONE CLEAR CONCLUSION IS THAT

ALTHOUGH HIS BLESSING HAS NOT

LED TO AUTOMATIC WINS, IT DOES

NOT MEAN IT IS NOT HELPFUL.

HE PICKED UP A BIT WIN EARLIER,

WITH HIS ENDORSEMENT OF OHIO

SENATE CANDIDATE J.D.

VANCE.

HE WAS FLOUNDERING IN A CROWD

OF GOP CANDIDATES BEFORE HIS

WELCOME INVOLVEMENT CARRIED

THEM ACROSS THE FINISH LINE FOR

THE PRIMARY WIN.

YOU HAVE TO BE THANKFUL FOR

HIM.

COME NOVEMBER, THOUGH I'LL

RACE WILL BE SEEN AS HIGHLY

SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE THE WINNER

COULD GO A LONG WAY THROUGH

DETERMINING CONTROL OF THE

SENATE CHAMBER ON CAPITOL HILL.

HE PICKED UP MORE WINS IN

ARKANSAS, NORTH CAROLINA, AND

GEORGIA BUT PENNSYLVANIA'S HIGH-

PROFILE RACE PUT HIS INFLUENCE

TO THE TEST.

HIS BACKING OF DOCTOR TURNED --

DREW SOME CRITICISM FROM

BOWLERS.

I THINK HE IS GETTING SOME

BAD INFORMATION.

IT IS TOO HOLLYWOOD.

I JUST DO NOT TRUST IT.

I COULD NEVER KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT

HIM REALISTICALLY, TO KNOW IF

-- I COULD NOT DO IT.

MEHMET OZ FOUND HIMSELF

LOCKED IN A DEAD HEAT WITH

DAVID McCORMICK AND IT LED TO A

RECOUNT LASTING INTO JUNE,

WHERE McCORMICK EVENTUALLY

CONCEDED.

THEN CAME A DAY JOB THE MOMENT

WHEN FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD

TRUMP SAW A REPEAT OF 2020 IN

GEORGIA.

HE BACKED CHALLENGERS TO BRIAN

KEMP AND SECRETARY OF STATE BEN

RAFFENSPERGER.

THEY SAW THOSE ENDORSEMENTS AS

REVENGE PLACE SINCE BOTH BRIAN

KEMP AND BEN RAFFENSPERGER

CHALLENGED THE WIN IN THE

STATE.

AFTER BOTH WON AGAINST

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S FIRST

CANDIDATES, THE PRESIDENT OF

THE FRONT-LINE POLICY COUNCIL

SAW IT AS A MOVE ON MOVEMENT

FOR GEORGIA VOTERS.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW WE

ARE LOSING THE FIGHT TODAY AND

WILL LOSE IT TOMORROW.

WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON PRINCIPLES

AND HAVE TO GET BACK TO THAT

SPACE AND, LOOK, DONALD TRUMP

IS STILL A VERY POPULAR FIGURE

IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THE

CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT.

HE HAD A GREAT FOUR YEARS BUT I

THINK THE PEOPLE, THE

CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT, ARE

SAYING WE CAN APPRECIATE HIM

WITHOUT BEING OBEDIENT TO HIM.

STILL, HE HAS MORE WINS THAN

LOSSES AND THAT RECORD IS

DEFINITELY IMPORTANT FOR THE

FORMER PRESIDENT ACCORDING TO

ANALYST DAVID BRODY.

HE DOES CARE ABOUT THE

WIN/LOSS RECORD.

MAKE NO MISTAKE.

HE IS POWERFUL WITHIN THE

REPUBLICAN PARTY.

THERE IS NOT A QUESTION ABOUT

THAT.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY

SORT OF POWER IN 2024.

FOR PEOPLE TO INTERPRET THESE

RESULTS AND SAY, WAIT A MINUTE,

MAYBE HIS ELECTION 2020 STUFF

IS NOT GOING TO QUITE WORK IN

2024, THAT IS HOGWASH.

BET MORE PRIMARIES REMAIN AS

THE MIDTERMS APPROACHED BY THE

FORMER PRESIDENT IS EXPECTED TO

PLAY A BIG ROLE DOWN THE

STRETCH.

I AM SEEING THAT HIS

POPULARITY WITHIN THE

REPUBLICAN PARTY IS NOT EASILY

TRANSFERABLE TO OTHER

CANDIDATES.

I THINK PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP

AND STILL BE POPULAR HIMSELF

AND VOTERS ARE THANKFUL FOR

VARIOUS THINGS HE HAS DONE OR

CONTINUES TO DO, BUT THAT DOES

NOT NECESSARILY MEAN REPUBLICAN

VOTERS ARE LOOKING TO TRUMP TO

TELL THEM EXACTLY WHAT THEY

SHOULD DO AND WHO THEY SHOULD

VOTE FOR IN EVERY RACE.

MAKE IT IS WORTH KEEPING TABS

ON HOW MANY OF HIS CANDIDATES

-- IT COULD INDICATE HOW MUCH

SUPPORT HE HAS AS THE FORMER

PRESIDENT POTENTIALLY EYES

ANOTHER BID AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

MATT GALKA, CBN NEWS.

IN CASE YOU HAVE NOT HEARD,

THERE IS AN ELECTION COMING UP.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE REGISTERED TO

VOTE AND PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT

YOU PARTICIPATE.

I LIKE TO TELL PEOPLE

PARTICIPATE EARLY BECAUSE THE

CANDIDATES ELECTION IS THE GAME.

HOW DO YOU DO THAT?

YOU GET INVOLVED NOT JUST IN

THE PRIMARIES, BUT YOU GET

INVOLVED WITH POLITICAL PARTIES

AND YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN.

YOU HAVE TO BE DEDICATED TO IT

AND YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE LONG

GAME.

POLITICS IS NOT A SHORT SPREAD.

IT IS ALWAYS A VERY, VERY LONG

MARATHON.

> UP NEXT, COUNTRY SINGER

CURTIS GRIMES IS LEFT HIGH AND

DRY AFTER HE SOBERS UP.'S

RECORD LABEL DROPPED HIM.

HOW DID HE GO ON TO RECORD MORE

THAN A DOZEN NUMBER ONE HITS?

HE WILL TELL US HIMSELF, RIGHT

AFTER THIS.

> DRINKING, PARTYING, RAISING

THE ROOF.

CURTIS GRIMES' LIFE AS A STAR

WAS LIKE SOMETHING STRAIGHT OUT

OF A COUNTRY MUSIC SONG UNTIL

HE DECIDED TO CLEAN UP HIS ACT.

FOR THAT, HIS MUSIC LABEL

DROPPED HIM LIKE A HOT POTATO

AND THEN CURTIS SAYS HIS CAREER

REALLY TOOK OFF.

Reporter: HE HAS SHARED THE

STAGE WITH THE LIKES OF LeANN

RIMES AND KENNY CHESNEY AND

ALSO MADE IT ON THE VOICE.

HE IS AN AWARD-WINNING COUNTRY

MUSIC ARTIST.

BRING ME BACK TO JESUS.

Reporter: FROM THE TIME HE

ACCEPTED CHRIST AT EIGHT YEARS

OLD, MAKING IT BIG FOR GOD WAS

HIS GAME PLAN, NOT JUST AS A

MUSICAL ARTIST.

GROWING UP, I REMEMBER

TELLING MY DAD, HEY, WHEN I AM

BIG, I WANT TO PLAY MAJOR

LEAGUE BASEBALL AND I WANT TO

USE THAT PLATFORM TO TELL

PEOPLE ABOUT JESUS.

Reporter: FOR MUCH OF HIS

LIFE, CURTIS PURSUED BASEBALL

WITH A PASSION.

BY HIS FRESHMAN YEAR OF HIGH

SCHOOL, HE WAS STARTING PITCHER

ON THE VARSITY TEAM.

THAT IS ALSO WHEN HE STARTED

DRIFTING FROM HIS FAITH.

NOW, HANGING OUT WITH HIS

TEAMMATES, HE BEGAN INDULGING

IN DRINKING AND SEX.

AT THAT POINT, IT WAS JUST

TO FIT IN, TO BE COOL, TO HANG

OUT WITH THE BOYS.

I WANTED THEM TO FEEL LIKE I

WAS AS COOL AS THEM AT THE

TIME.

AND THEN FAST FORWARD FOUR OR

FIVE YEARS, AND NOW I COULD NOT

TELL YOU THE LAST TIME I WENT

TO CHURCH.

Reporter: STILL, AS AN

ALLSTATE PITCHER, HE TOOK HIS

HIGH SCHOOL TO THE STATE

CHAMPIONSHIP AND EARNED A

SCHOLARSHIP TO CENTENARY

COLLEGE.

HIS PLANS FOR MAJOR LEAGUE

BASEBALL WOULD SOON BE

DERAILED.

CURTIS FELL IN LOVE, OR SO HE

THOUGHT.

I GOT ENGAGED AND I QUIT

BASEBALL AND THEN WE BROKE UP.

WHEN I WANTED TO GO BACK AND

TRY TO DO IT AGAIN, I WAS NOT

ELIGIBLE, SO HERE I WAS, LEFT

HOLDING THE BAG, JUST EQUIPPED

FOR A GIRL AND THEN JUST THROW

IT ALL AWAY.

I MEAN, TALK ABOUT REGRET

Reporter: PARTYING EVEN

MORE, IT WAS THEN MUSIC ENTERED

HIS LIFE.

HE PICKED UP HIS ROOMMATE'S

GUITAR AND DISCOVERED A TALENT

FOR MUSIC.

LIKE BASEBALL, HE WENT ALL IN,

POURING HIMSELF INTO WRITING,

PERFORMING WITH HIS BAND, AND

PARTYING.

THE DRINKING, PARTYIN,

PLAYING THE GUITAR, TRYING TO

PLAY AND SING AND WRITE THESE

COUNTRY SONGS WAS WHAT I

REPLACED EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE

THAT I HAD KNOWN UP UNTIL THEN

WITH.

Reporter: A YEAR LATER, IN

2008, HE WON A RADIO CONTEST TO

OPEN FOR KENNY CHESNEY.

THAT LED TO AN OPPORTUNITY WITH

THE VOICE IN 2011, MAKING IT TO

THE QUARTERFINALS

I GOT A NATIONAL BOOKING

AGENT AND MANAGEMENT AND

STARTED PUSHING RADIO SINGLES

WITH A PROMOTER.

THE NATURAL THING TO DO WAS TO

CHASE THIS AS LONG AS IT

LASTED.

Reporter: CURTIS SPENT THE

NEXT FEW YEARS WRITING,

TOURING, AND LIVING THE LIFE,

ALL THE WHILE PROFESSING TO BE

A CHRISTIAN.

JUST DRINKING AND PARTYING,

HANGING OUT AND HOOKING UP WITH

GIRLS ON THE ROAD.

I KNEW HOW I WAS LIVING WAS

WRONG, SO I HAD THAT INTERNAL

BATTLE GOING ON AS WELL.

I THINK I WAS JUST SO ASHAMED OF

WHAT I HAVE DONE THAT I DID NOT

WANT TO FACE REALITY.

I DID NOT WANT TO FESS UP

INSTEAD OF FACING IT.

I JUST RAN FROM IT.

Reporter: EVENTUALLY, HE

REALIZED HE WAS NOT ONLY

HURTING HIMSELF.

HE HAD STRAYED FAR FROM HIS

CHILDHOOD PLANS TO USE THE

STAGE TO SERVE GOD.

I WAS REALLY A HORRIBLE

REPRESENTATION OF A CHRISTIAN

IN PRETTY MUCH EVERY ASPECT.

MY LIFESTYLE, THE SONGS I WAS

PUTTING OUT, THE LYRICAL

CONTENT, AND I HAD CHANGED SO

MUCH FROM WHERE I WAS.

HERE I WAS WITH THE PLATFORM,

WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO

INFLUENCE AND REACH PEOPLE, AND

UP UNTIL THIS POINT, I HAD NOT

DONE THAT AT ALL.

I HAD ACTUALLY DONE COMPLETELY

THE OPPOSITE.

Reporter: IN 2015, HE HEARD

ANDREII CROUCH SAYING "THROUGH

IT ALL.

THAT IS WHAT SPURRED THE

THOUGHT OF THROUGH ALL OF THIS,

THROUGH ALL OF HOW I WAS

LIVING, GOD NEVER GAVE UP ON

ME.

HE STILL LOVES ME AND HE JUST

WANTS ME TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT

AND LIVE MY LIFE WALKING WITH

JESUS.

IT WAS THE BREAKING POINT.

THAT WAS THE MOMENT WHERE I

SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT?

I MESSED UP AND I AM GENUINELY

SORRY ABOUT IT.

I DO NOT WANT TO KEEP DOING

THAT.

I REMEMBER LAYING ON THE FLOOR

PRAYING, AND JUST ASKING GOD TO

FORGIVE ME OF JUST HOW I HAVE

BEEN LIVING THE LAST SEVERAL

YEARS.

JUST GETTING IT ALL OUT THERE,

THAT WAS A HUGE WAIT LIFTED OFF

MY SHOULDER AND A HUGE BURDEN

REMOVED.

Reporter: AFTERWARD, HE

WRESTLED WITH WHETHER TO LEAVE

THE MUSIC SCENE.

THEN GOT PUT ON MY HEART,

NO, I PUT YOU IN THIS

ENVIRONMENT AND IN THIS PLACE

FOR A REASON.

I HAVE GIVEN YOU AN OPPORTUNITY

TO HEAR AND WITNESS TO PEOPLE

THAT HAVE SEEN YOU OVER THE

LAST FIVE YEARS AND WILL SEE

THIS CHANGE IN YOU.

Reporter: HE DECIDED TO TELL

HIS MANAGER AND RECORD LABEL

THERE WAS A NEW PLAN.

I SAID, HEY, GUYS, I MADE A LOT

OF CHANGES IN MY LIFE LATELY.

I STOPPED DRINKING.

I SOBERED UP.

I PUT GOD FIRST AND I WANT MY

MUSIC TO REFLECT THAT.

I DID NOT WANT TO CONTINUE

DOING DRINKING, PARTYING MUSIC.

I WANTED TO DO POSITIVE, FAITH-

BASED, MORE TRADITIONAL

SOUNDING COUNTRY MUSIC.

WITHIN THREE MONTHS, THEY

ALL DROPPED HIM.

IT LOOKED LIKE I HAD LOST

EVERYTHING BUT, IN REALITY, THE

ROAD HAD BEEN CLEARED FOR ME TO

REALLY GO IN AND DO IT EXACTLY

HOW I WANTED TO WITH THE SONGS

I WANTED TO DO IT.

THERE WAS NOT ANYTHING IN MY

WAY.

CURTIS WENT ON TO RECORD

OVER A DOZEN NUMBER ONE HIT

SINGLES AND WAS VOTED TOP

COUNTRY CHRISTIAN ARTIST AT THE

TEXAS COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS.

HE ALSO MARRIED AND BEGAN

RAISING A FAMILY.

HE FOUNDED 10 FINGER MINISTRY

AND HIS GRANDFATHER'S HONOR,

WHERE HE USED PROCEEDS FROM HIS

FAITH-BASED ALBUM TO BUY BIBLES

AND DISTRIBUTE THEM FREE OF

CHARGE.

HE IS COMMITTED TO USING THE

GIFTS AND THE STAGE GOD GAVE HIM

TO POINT PEOPLE TO JESUS

CHRIST.

THE MESSAGE I WANT EVERYONE

TO TAKE HIM EVERY NIGHT IS NO

MATTER WHERE YOU ARE WHAT YOU

HAVE BEEN THROUGH, JESUS LOVES

YOU.

I AM GOING, HEY, I GET IT.

I WAS THERE AND I KNOW WHAT IT

IS LIKE AND I KNOW WHAT JESUS

DID FOR ME AND I KNOW WHAT

JESUS IS DOING THROUGH ME.

THAT IS THE GOOD NEWS I HAVE

FOR YOU.

I HAVE THAT SAME GOOD NEWS.

I KNOW WHAT JESUS DID FOR ME.

WHILE WE WERE SINNERS, ISN'T

THAT INCREDIBLE?

WHILE YOU WERE RUNNING AWAY

FROM HIM, WHILE YOU ARE DOING

THINGS YOU KNOW ARE WRONG,

WHILE WE WERE SINNERS, CHRIST

DIED FOR US.

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD,

THAT IS YOU, THAT HE GAVE HIS

ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THE THING

DEAREST AND NEAREST TO HIM.

HE GAVE THE SACRIFICE THAT WAS

NEEDED.

THAT WHOSOEVER, YOU CAN BE A

WHOSOEVER, WOULD BELIEVE IN HIM

WOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE

EVERLASTING LIFE.

HERE IS CURTIS AND HE WAKES UP

TO THIS INCREDIBLE REVELATION

THAT GOD STILL LOVES ME.

ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL?

YOU CAN HAVE THE SAME THING.

GOD STILL LOVES YOU.

EVEN MORE THAN THAT, HE STILL

HAS A PLAN AND A PURPOSE FOR

YOU.

IT IS AMAZING WHAT GOD TOLD

CURTIS.

I WANT YOU TO STAY WHERE YOU

ARE.

I WANT YOU TO SHOW THE CHANGE.

I WANT YOU TO SHOW PEOPLE I

STILL LOVE THEM AND I CAN STILL

CHANGE THEM AND I CAN STILL BE

WITH THEM.

HE HAS THESE PLANS FOR YOU.

HE HAS CREATED YOU FOR THE

SPECIAL PURPOSES AND HE WANTS

YOU TO BE WITH HIM FOR ALL

ETERNITY.

ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL?

IT IS SUCH A GREAT SALVATION.

DO NOT NEGLECT IT.

DO NOT TURN AWAY FROM IT, BUT

TURN TO HIM.

THE WORLD WANTS YOU TO THINK

THAT WHEN YOU COME TO JESUS,

YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE

EVERYTHING.

THAT WAS THE THOUGHT WITH

CURTIS.

I LOST ALL MY RECORD LABELS.

HE SAYS, NO, IT WAS GREAT.

WHAT IT MEANT WAS EVERYTHING

WAS CLEARED SO I COULD DO WOULD

GOD WANTED ME TO DO.

THAT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU.

YOU ARE NOT GIVING UP

EVERYTHING.

YOU ARE GIVING EVERYTHING.

YOU ARE GETTING A PURPOSE AND

HOPE AND A LIFE AND HERE IS THE

BEST PART.

YOU ARE GETTING LOVE.

YOU FINALLY UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH

GOD LOVES YOU.

IF YOU WANT THIS, IT IS JUST A

PRAYER AWAY.

JUST WHAT CURTIS DID, HE TURNED

AND SAID I CANNOT LIVE THIS WAY

ANYMORE, BUT I HAVE TO CHANGE.

I CANNOT CHANGE ON MY OWN, BUT

GOD WILL HELP ME.

HE WILL LOVE ME THROUGH THIS

AND SEE ME THROUGH IT ALL.

HE WILL DO THAT FOR YOU IF YOU

JUST ASKED HIM.

SO, BOW YOUR HEAD WITH ME.

PRAY THAT VERY SIMPLE LET

PRAYER AND GOD WILL DO FOR YOU

WHAT HE DID FOR CURTIS.

HE WILL CHANGE YOUR HEART AND

HE WILL GIVE YOU HOPE AND HE

WILL GIVE YOU A FUTURE AND HE

WILL GIVE YOU THE LIFE THAT YOU

HAVE ALWAYS WANTED.

PRAY. LET

JESUS, SAY HIS NAME, SAY IT OUT

LOUD.

JESUS.

I COME TO YOU AND I AM SORRY

FOR MY SINS.

I AM SORRY THAT I HAVE TURNED

AWAY FROM YOU.

I TURN TO YOU NOW AND I ASK

THAT YOU FORGIVE ME.

I ASK THAT YOU CLEANSE ME AND

MAKE ME ANEW.

COME INTO MY HEART.

BE WITH ME.

LET ME HEAR YOUR VOICE.

LET ME KNOW THE WAY THAT YOU

WANT ME TO GO.

JESUS, IF YOU DO THIS, I WANT

TO FOLLOW YOU ALL THE DAYS OF

MY LIFE.

HEAR MY PRAYER, FOR A PREY IT

IN JESUS' NAME.

FATHER, FOR THOSE THAT PRAYED,

ASKED FOR A BAPTISM.

I ASK THAT YOU FILL THEM TO

OVERFLOWING WITH YOUR LOVE AND

YOUR ACCEPTANCE.

CAUSE YOUR FACE TO SHINE UPON

THEM AND GIVE THEM YOUR PEACE.

FOR ASK IT IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.

IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME, THERE IS

ONE MORE THING I WANT YOU TO

DO.

LET SOMEBODY KNOW.

THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN YOU BELIEVE

IN YOUR HEART AND THEN YOU

CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH, YOU

SHALL BE SAVED.

INCOME, EVEN TO PURCHASE FOOD

AFTER THE PANDEMIC HIT, EVEN

THE DISHWASHING JOBS DRIED UP.

SHE SAID, AT ONE POINT, SHE GOT

SICK AND THEY NEARLY STARVED.

WHEN I WAS SICK, I LET MY

GRANDCHILD EAT, BUT I DO NOT

HAVE ANYTHING TO EAT.

I WAS MALNOURISHED.

Reporter: NEW YORK TIMES

BEST-SELLING AUTHOR AND PASTOR,

JENTEZEN FRANKLIN, SAYS HE MAY

FEEL THE BATTLES YOU HAVE BEEN

FIGHTING HAVE GOTTEN HARDER.

THERE IS A REASON.

THE WAR BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL

IS RAGING. JENTEZEN SAYS DO

NOT BE DISCOURAGED, NO MATTER

WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE.

GOD IS STILL IN COMPLETE

CONTROL.

IN HIS NEW BOOK , OVERCOMING

WHEN YOU FEEL OVERWHELMED,

JENTEZEN OFFERS STEPS TO HELP

YOU NOT JUST SURVIVE THE CHAOS

OF LIFE, BUT THRIVE DURING

THESE TRYING TIMES.

PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO THE

700 CLUB JENTEZEN FRANKLIN.

IT IS WONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU

WITH US.

THANK YOU, TERRI.

IT IS WONDERFUL.

I LOVE THE BOOK.

I WAS UNDERLINING IN THE

INTRODUCTION SOME PARTS.

LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE FEELING

OVERWHELMED.

THERE JUST SEEMS TO BE SO MUCH

CHAOS AND SO MUCH DISRUPTION.

WHAT YOU THINK IS GOING ON?

I THINK PEOPLE, THROUGH THE

PANDEMIC -- I DO NOT THINK

THERE IS ONE FAMILY OR PERSON I

HAVE TALKED WITH WHO HAS NOT

BEEN WITH SOME KIND OF TRAUMA,

SOME KIND OF PAIN.

MAYBE IT IS A LEGAL SITUATION

OR A CHILD OR ADDICTION OR

ALCOHOLISM.

IT HAS DECIMATED SO MANY

PEOPLE'S LIVES AND PEOPLE ARE

DESPERATE TO FIND OUT HOW THEY

CAN GET THROUGH WHEN THINGS ARE

OVERWHELMING.

WE NEED TO LET PEOPLE KNOW, AS

CHRISTIANS, WE WILL HAVE LOAD

TIMES AND HARD TIMES BUT IT IS

POSSIBLE TO BE OVERWHEMED AND

THEN OVERCOME IT AT THE SAME

TIME.

JENTEZEN, WE ARE HAVING SOME

AUDIO TROUBLE, SO WE ARE GOING

TO TRY TO GET YOU BACK AGAIN

WHEN WE CAN REALLY TALK ABOUT

YOUR BOOK BECAUSE IT IS A

WONDERFUL MESSAGE, NOT JUST OF

OVERCOMING, BUT ACTUALLY MOVING

VICTORIOUSLY IN THE HOUR WE ARE

IN.

WE WANT TO BE SURE EVERYONE CAN

HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY

CLEARLY.

THAT IS JENTEZEN FRANKLIN.

I LOVE THE BOOK.

WE WILL HAVE MORE FOR YOU WHEN

WE CAN CORRECT THAT AUDIO.

IT IS A GREAT TOPIC FOR

TODAY.

MANY OF THE CHURCH ARE NOT

READY FOR THE END TIMES AND

WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH AND

WHETHER YOU CALL THIS END TIMES

OR NOT, JUST THE NUMBER OF HITS

WE HAVE TAKEN, WHETHER IT IS A

PANDEMIC OR THE ECONOMY OR

INFLATION OR WAR, THE WHOLE

DIVISION IN POLITICS, THE WHOLE

RACIAL STRIFE, IT IS A VERY

TIMELY BOOK.

IT WAS LIKE EVERYTHING HAS

CULMINATED AT ONE TIME.

I DO NOT THINK PEOPLE KNOW --

IT IS MORE THAN JUST GETTING

THROUGH IT.

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO OVERCOME IT.

THAT IS WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT.

WE HAVE TO GET HIM BACK.

YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE

WILDERNESS TO GET TO THE

PROMISED LAND.

LET'S TAKE SOME EMAIL

QUESTIONS.

THIS IS FROM DAVID WHO SAYS,

BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, WE

ATTENDED OUR LOCAL CHURCH

WEEKLY.

SINCE THE START OF THE

PANDEMIC, AND FOUR DOLLARS PLUS

PER GALLON OF GAS, WE STREAM

CHURCH.

HEBREWS 10:25 IS ABOUT

ASSEMBLING WITH OTHER

CHRISTIANS IN CHURCH.

WHAT IS YOUR VIEW ON ATTENDING

OR STREAMING CHURCH VIA THE

INTERNET?

I THINK STREAMING CHURCH IS

FINE, PARTICULARLY IF YOU ARE

TRYING TO PROTECT HER OWN

HEALTH.

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO SAVE ON

GAS MONEY, I WOULD NOT USE

THAT.

PROTECTING YOUR HEALTH IS FINE,

BUT THERE IS SOMETHING THAT

@TOGETHER. N WE GATHER

WHEN WE DO THAT PHYSICALLY.

IT CAN HAPPEN ELECTRONICALLY.

THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE THAT

THERE IS NO TIME OR DISTANCE

WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YOU

CAN BE INSPIRED BY WATCHING AND

LISTENING AND ONLINE THESE

DAYS, YOU CAN PARTICIPATE AS

WELL.

SOMETHING HAPPENS IN THAT GROUP

DYNAMIC, PARTICULARLY GROUP

WORSHIP, WHERE YOU ARE TOGETHER

AND YOU BECOME A ONE MIND AND

ONE ACCORD PEOPLE.

THAT IS WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT

CAN FALL AND IT IS A WONDERFUL

THING TO EXPERIENCE.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THAT.

I THINK WE HAVE JENTEZEN BACK .

I AM NOT SURE.

I HAVE NOT GOT DIRECTIONS.

ARE WE SAYING THAT JENTEZEN

IS BACK ON?

OKAY, LET ME JUST PUT THIS

EARPIECE BACK IN, WHICH I TOOK

OUT SO I COULD HEAR YOU

CLEARLY.

JENTEZEN, ARE YOU THERE?

I AM HERE.

WELL, HALLELUJAH.

LET'S DO THIS.

SO, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT END

TIMES, AND WE HAVE BEEN PRAYING

-- NOW, AS WE SEE THINGS KIND

OF COMING TOGETHER IN THIS DAY

AND AGE, LOOKING AT THE END

TIMES, WE FIND OURSELVES NOT

REALLY PREPARED.

HOW DO WE PREPARE OURSELVES TO

LIVE IN THE END TIMES?

THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION.

JESUS SAID FEARS TIMES, TRYING

TIMES, OVERWHELMING TIMES WOULD

COME.

HE SAYS I WANT YOU, IN MATTHEW

24, WHEN HE GAVE ALL THE

PROPHECIES, IT IS NOT ABOUT

DOOM AND GLOOM FOR THE

BELIEVER.

HE SAYS, WHEN THEY SAY TELL US

WHAT THE SIGNS ARE AND WHEN

YOU'RE GOING TO COME AGAIN,

JESUS SHIFTED THE QUESTION BACK

AND SAID, TAKE HEED TO

YOURSELF.

ONE TRANSLATION SAID, GUARD

YOURSELF.

LOOK WITHIN.

WHAT I DID WAS I TOOK THAT AS

MEANING WE ARE TO NOT JUST BE

CALLED ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON

HERE, THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES OR

THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND

ANTICHRIST.

ALL THAT WILL HAPPEN BUT HE

SAID LOOK WITHIN.

DO INVENTORY.

CHECK WITHIN YOURSELF.

WATCH YOUR WORDS AND YOUR

ATTITUDE.

WATCH YOUR TEMPTATIONS AND YOUR

CHARACTER AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD.

THEN HE SAID, LOOK TO HIM

BECAUSE IN THE NEXT PART OF

MATTHEW 24, IT SAYS WHEN YOU

SEE ALL OF THESE THINGS

HAPPENING, LISTEN TO THIS GREAT

VERSE.

HE SAID, SEE THAT YOU ARE NOT

TROUBLED.

HOW DO YOU DO THAT WHEN YOU'RE

IN STORMY TIMES AND

OVERWHELMING TIMES?

YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR EYES ON

JESUS, LIKE THEY DID IN THE

STORM WHEN THE DISCIPLES WERE

IN THE STORM.

THE MOMENT THEY GOT THEIR EYES

OFF JESUS -- HOW IS MY

CHARACTER?

HOW IS MY PRAYER LIFE?

HOW IS MY RELATIONSHIP WITH

JESUS?

THAT IS WHERE THE PEACE COMES,

NO MATTER WHAT IS GOING ON

OUTSIDE.

ONCE YOU LOOK WITH THEN, YOU

LOOK TO HIM.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS.

KEEP LOOKING ON THAT FIXED

POINT OF REFERENCE.

THERE IS A FAMILY RIGHT HERE

AND THEY ARE FAMOUS FOR WALKING

ON TIGHTROPES AND THE WAY THEY

DO THAT, NO MATTER WHAT COMES

AT HIM, IS HE KEEPS HIS EYES

FOCUS ON SOMETHING ON THE OTHER

END OF THE TIGHT ROPE, NO

MATTER WHAT THE WIND DOES OR

WHAT DISTRACTIONS COME.

KEEP LOOKING UNTO JESUS, THE

AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR

FAITH.

YOU SAID WE SHOULD BE

NIGHTTIME HEROES.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

IN THE BIBLE, JESUS, HIS

BODY WAS CRUCIFIED AND HE DIED

AND THEY -- THE BIBLE SAID THAT

JOSEPH WENT TO PILATE AT NIGHT

AND HE SAID, I WANT THE BODY OF

CHRIST.

I AM BEGGING FOR THE BODY OF

CHRIST.

I WANT IT.

THE BODY WAS DEAD.

IT COULD NOT DO MUCH FOR HIM.

THERE WERE NO MIRACLES LIKE

WHEN JESUS WAS WALKING AROUND.

HE WAS CRUCIFIED BUT HERE IS A

MAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,

IN THE NIGHT SEASON.

SO MANY PEOPLE, I HEARD A

CONVERSATION ABOUT THE CHURCH

AND CHURCH ATTENDANCE.

MANY GO TO CHURCH AND WHAT THE

CHURCH CAN DO FOR THEM, BUT THE

BODY OF CHRIST IS THE CHURCH

AND WE NEED SOME NIGHTTIME

HEROES WHO STEP UP NOW AND SAY,

I WANT TO BE A HERO FOR THE

BODY OF CHRIST.

I AM GOING TO TAKE THE BODY OF

CHRIST AND PROVIDE A PLACE FOR

THE BODY OF CHRIST AND SUPPORT

THE BODY OF CHRIST AND I

BELIEVE GOD IS RAISING UP

HEROES IN THE NIGHT SEASON OF

WHAT WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH, TO

RESTORE THE BODY OF CHRIST AND

IF EVER THERE WAS A TIME FOR

YOU TO BE A HERO AND SAY, I

LOVE THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND I

BELIEVE IN CHURCH AND I SUPPORT

CHURCH, IT IS IN THIS HOUR

BECAUSE NOT ONLY WILL GOD BLESS

YOU WHEN YOU DO THAT, BUT HE

WILL BLESS OTHERS AND OTHERS

WILL BE SAVED.

IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE SO

MANY PEOPLE TODAY THAT ARE

STRUGGLING WITH ANXIETY, WITH

FEELING LIKE THEY JUST CANNOT

SEEM TO GET ON TOP OF

EVERYTHING, TO BE ABLE TO DO

SOME OF THE THINGS THE BIBLE

SAYS, LIKE TAKE EVERY THOUGHT

CAPTIVE, LIKE FOCUSING ON WHAT

THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO.

WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS AND

HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THAT?

I THINK IT IS BECAUSE SO

MANY FAMILIES ARE GOING THROUGH

DARK, DARK SEASONS, AND WHEN

YOU FEEL THAT AWFUL,

OVERWHELMING THING, THERE IS NO

HURT LIKE WHEN A FAMILY IS

BROKEN OR WHEN YOU DROP A CHILD

INTO REHAB AND WONDERING, YOU

KNOW, HOW LONG IS THIS

NIGHTMARE GOING TO LAST?

WHEN THOSE THINGS HIT A FAMILY,

THEY HAVE GOT TO HAVE ROCK

SOLID FACE.

WHAT JESUS SAID IN LUKE 21 IS

SO POWERFUL, ABOUT THE END

TIMES.

HIS LAST MESSAGE TO THE CHURCH

WAS NOT ONE OF END TIMES

HYSTERIA OR DOOM AND GLOOM.

HE SAID WHEN YOU BEGIN TO SEE

THESE THINGS HAPPEN, I WANT

YOU -- LOOK UP, LIFT UP YOUR

HEAD.

YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWS NIGH.

IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN HE TOLD --

WHEN HE CLIMBED IN THE TREE, HE

SAID I AM COMING HOME.

I AM DRYING NEAR YOUR FAMILY.

WHAT I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND

IS WHEN JESUS SAID LOOK UP, HE

SAID I WANT YOU TO HAVE A LOOK

UP SPIRIT.

I DO NOT WANT -- I WANT YOU

FOCUSED ON ME.

I WANT YOU FOCUSED ON MY WORD.

FOCUS ON MY PROMISES.

WHEN WE DO THAT, SOMETHING

HAPPENS.

THEY WERE GROWING.

THE BIBLE SAID JESUS SAW THEM

AS THEY WERE GROWING.

THEY DID NOT QUIT.

THEY DID NOT GIVE UP.

IT IS ABOUT WORSHIP AND FAITH.

HOLD ONTO YOUR FAITH.

HOLD ONTO YOUR WORSHIP.

THE BIBLE SAID -- THEY WERE

TRIED.

THEY WERE DOING WHAT THEY COULD

DO.

THAT IS WHAT JESUS DID, WHAT HE

ONLY COULD DO.

HE STEPPED OUT ON THE WATER AND

HE CAME OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE.

YOU ARE WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW

BY DIVINE INSTRUCTION.

JESUS -- WHERE YOU ARE, HE

KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE, AND WHAT

IS OVER YOUR HEAD IS UNDER HIS

FEET.

HE IS THE MIRACLE WORKING GOD

AND HE CARES AND FIGHTS FOR

YOUR FAMILY.

THE BOOK IS SO ENCOURAGING

AND FILLED WITH WONDERFUL

SCRIPTURE AND PRACTICAL WAYS

FOR YOU AND I TO FEEL THAT WE

ARE VICTORIOUS IN THE MIDST OF

ALL THAT WE ARE LIVING THROUGH

IN OUR WORLD.

JENTEZEN FRANKLIN, THANK YOU SO

MUCH.

WE WANT YOU TO GET THE BOOK.

IT IS REALLY A WONDERFUL

ENCOURAGEMENT.

THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US

TODAY.

> HERE IS A WORD FROM PSALMS

61.

WHEN MY HEART IS OVERWHELMED,

LEAD ME TO THE ROCK THAT IS

HIGHER THAN I. GOD BLESS.
