> COME UP.

TRAPPED INSIDE AN INFERNO,

SURROUNDED BY FLAMES AND SMOKE.

ONE FAMILY'S ESCAPE FROM THEIR

BURNING HOME.

AND THE MIRACLES THAT SAVE

THEIR LIVES ON TODAY'S 700

CLUB.

.

> WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

HERE'S A STORY YOU MAY NOT HAVE

HEARD.

THERE ARE UNDERCOUNTS IN SIX

PREDOMINANTLY REPUBLICAN

STATES, AND OVERCOUNTS IN EIGHT

PREDOMINANTLY DEMOCRAT STATES.

MISTAKES MADE IN THE 2020

CENSUS COULD BE A TIPPING POINT

IN THE UPCOMING MIDTERM

ELECTIONS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

NOT ONLY COULD THOSE MISTAKES

AFFECT WHO CONTROLLED CONGRESS,

THEY COULD ACTUALLY HAVE AN

IMPACT ON WHO WINS THE

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

MATT BRINGS US THE STORY FROM

WASHINGTON.

Reporter: HOW MANY PEOPLE

ARE SOME YOUR STATE?

WELL THE CENSUS TRIES TO FIGURE

THAT VERY QUESTION OUT EVERY 10

YEARS AND THE RESULTS COULD GO

A LONG WAY TO DETERMINING THE

BALANCE OF POWER ON CAPITOL

HILL.

BUT AN UNPRECEDENTED 2020 AND A

VARIETY OF FACTORS LED TO A LOT

OF UNDERCOUNTS AND OVERCOUNTS.

Reporter: TRYING TO GET AN

ACCURATE NUMBER OF HOW MANY

PEOPLE ARE IN THE COUNTRY IS A

TALL TASK UNDER NORMAL

CIRCUMSTANCES.

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, DIFFERENT

STATES.

THE CENSUS TRIES TO SORT IT ALL

OUT EVERY 10 YEARS.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS FROM

THE MOST RECENT CENSUS SHOWS A

MISS COUNT SO LARGE SOME 14

STATES THAT IT AFFECTED THE

NUMBER OF CONGRESSIONAL SEATS

IN SOME OF THEM.

A CENSUS REVIEW INDICATES A

STATISTICALLY UNDERCOUNT IN

ARKANSAS, MISSISSIPPI,

TENNESSEE, FLORIDA, TEXAS AND

ILLINOIS.

AND AN OVERCOUNT IN HAWAII,

MASSACHUSETTS, MINNESOTA, NEW

YORK, UTAH, RHODE ISLAND,

DELAWARE AND OHIO.

IT IS IMPORTANT.

WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A

CLOSE MIDTERM ELECTION COMING

UP, CONTROL OF THE HOUSE UP FOR

GRABS, THESE TWO GAINS OR

LOSSES COULD MAKE THE

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONTROLLING

AND NOT CONTROLLING THE HOUSE

FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS.

WHILE ERRORS ARE COMMON IN

ALL CENSUS SURVEYS, IT IS

POSSIBLE THESE SAVED MINNESOTA

FROM LOSING A HOUSE SEAT AND

PREVENTED TEXAS AND FLORIDA

FROM GAINING EVEN MORE SEATS.

TEXAS COULD HAVE BEEN

UNDERCOUNTED BY UP TO 5000

PEOPLE AND JUST UNDER 200,000

WOULD HAVE BEEN NEEDED.

THEY ENDED UP GETTING TWO.

SO WHAT HAPPENED?

IT IS TOUGH TO PINPOINT GIVEN

MULTIPLE FACTORS, BUT A

PANDEMIC PROBABLY PLAYED

HEAVILY INTO THE ACCOUNTS.

THE STATES WITH HIGHER RATES

OF CASES ACTUALLY HAD LOWER

QUALITY COUNTS.

AND THAT MAKES SENSE.

Reporter: BEYOND COVID, A

MAJORITY OF THE HOLLYFRONTIER

COUNTED STATES SPENT MONEY

CENSUS OUTREACH.

THE MAJORITY OF THE UNDERCOUNT

SPENT LITTLE.

MINORITY GROUPS WERE BEING

UNDERCOUNTED EVERY DECADE.

ARE WE GOING TO COME DOWN TO

A LASER SLIM MAJORITY IN THE

HOUSE OR SENATE FOR ALL OF THE

PARTIES?

OR IS IT GOING TO BE FIVE OR 10

SEATS, WHICH MEANS THIS WILL BE

MOVED.

THE POST CENSUS SURVEY WON'T

ACTUALLY CHANGE ANYTHING.

THE OFFICIAL RESULTS WILL

REMAIN.

STATES HAVE GONE THROUGH THEIR

REDISTRICTING PROCESSES AND

DRAWN THEIR HOUSE CONGRESSIONAL

LINES AND THOSE RESULTS WILL

REMAIN UNTIL THE NEXT CENSUS IN

2030.

CBN NEWS.

> WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO TO

2030.

IF YOU LOOK AT THIS AND REALIZE

THAT THE UNDERCOUNT REALLY

MATTERS, IT MATTERS NOT JUST IN

HOW MANY CONGRESSIONAL SEATS

ARE ALLOCATED, BUT IT ALSO

MATTERS IN HOW MANY ELECTORAL

COLLEGE VOTES ARE COUNTED AND

SO IN A RAZOR THIN ELECTION,

TWO, THREE, FOUR ELECTORAL

COLLEGE VOTES MAKES A HUGE

DIFFERENCE.

SO COULD THIS DETERMINE 2024.

WE ARE GOING TO SEE.

IN OTHER NEWS, ANOTHER GUNMAN

HAS OPENED FIRE ON A GROUP OF

INNOCENT PEOPLE.

THIS TIME AT A CHURCH.

EPHRAIM GRAHAM HAS THAT STORY

FROM THE CBN NEWSROOM.

Reporter: GORDON, TWO PEOPLE

ARE DEAD AND ANOTHER ONE IS

INJURED.

THE GUNMAN OPENED FIRE ON A

SMALL GROUP INSIDE A SUBURBAN

ALABAMA CHURCH DURING A

COMMUNITY POTLUCK.

IT HAPPENED THURSDAY NIGHT.

POLICE HAVE THE SUSPECT IN

CUSTODY AND THE CITY IS PRAYING

FOR HEALING.

A LONE SUSPECT ENTERED A

SMALL GROUP CHURCH MEETING AND

BEGAN SHOOTING.

Reporter: JUST OUTSIDE OF

BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, SAINT

STEVEN'SEE EPISCOPAL CHURCH

BECAME THE MOST RECENT

STARRING.

THREE PEOPLE WERE SHOT, TWO

ARE DECEASED.

ONE PERSON IS BEING TREATED FOR

AN UNKNOWN INJURY.

I AM SO SAD.

I AM SO PRAYERFUL FOR THE

FAMILIES THAT WAS AFFECTED BY

THIS.

Reporter: LINDA MONTANA A 20-

YEAR MEMBER AT SAINT STEVENS

SAYS SHE WAS IN SHOCK.

IT IS THE LOVINGEST, SMALL,

COMFORTABLE CHURCH.

JUST VERY COMMUNITY ORIENTED,

VERY LOVING, JUST REACHING OUT

TO THE COMMUNITY ALL THE TIME.

I'M SAD.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU READ

ABOUT IN THE NEWS, YOU SEE A

LOT OF OTHER PLACES, YOU

EXPERIENCE THIS.

AND IT HURTS THAT IT HAS

HAPPENED HERE.

Reporter: REVEREND KELLY HAD

YOU HAD LOW, MISSIONARY FOR THE

DIOCESE OF ALABAMA SAYS THE

COMMUNITY NEEDS TO BE LIVED UP

THROUGH PRAYER AND UNITY.

ANOTHER PRESS BRIEFING IS

PLANNED FOR FRIDAY.

BRODIE CARTER, CBN NEWS.

> TURNING NOW TO THE FAMILY

HOLIDAY THIS WEEKEND AS THE

NATION PREPARES TO CELEBRATE

FATHER'S DAY.

HOW HE IS ENCOURAGING OTHER

FATHERS TO FIGHT AS WELL.

AFTER MATT'S SON WAS

DIAGNOSED WITH A LIFE

THREATENING HEART DISEASE IN

THE WOMB, DOCTORS SUGGESTED

ABORTION.

BUT MATT AND HIS WIFE, INSTEAD,

CHOSE LIFE.

A DECISION HE URGES OTHER MEN

MAKE IN THE FIGHT FOR LIFE AND

FAMILY.

ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2010, LITTLE

BOWEN WAS BORNE WITH

HYPOPLASTIC LEFT HEART

SYNDROME.

OVER 30% OF CHILDREN BORN WITH

THE CONDITION DON'T MAKE IT TO

THEIR FIFTH BIRTHDAY.

HIS FATHER FELT HELPLESS.

ALL WE COULD DO WAS JUST

WAIT AND PRAY AND TRY TO LIKE

FIND OUR HOPE IN THE LORD.

Reporter: FIVE DAYS LATER,

BOWEN UNDERWENT OPEN-HEART

SURGERY.

THAT NIGHT OF HIS FIRST

SURGERY, ACTUALLY HE HAD SOME

COMPLICATIONS TO THE POINT

WHERE HE CODED, AND THEY CALLED

US AND TOLD US HIS HEART HAD

STOPPED BEATING.

AND I THINK I HAD SPENT SO MANY

MONTHS JUST HOPING AND

BELIEVING AS A FATHER, AND

GIVING EVERYTHING THAT I HAD,

PRAYING FOR THAT MIRACLE AND

THAT BREAKTHROUGH, THAT

HONESTLY, IT REALLY JARRED ME

TO GET THAT CALL IN THE MIDDLE

OF THE NIGHT.

THE MEDICAL CRISIS CAME AT

THE HEIGHT OF MATT'S CAREER AS

A MEMBER OF A BAND.

IT WAS A TEST OF FAITH AS HE

QUESTIONED GOD WHY THIS WAS

HAPPENING TO HIS FAMILY.

AT THE VERY TIME THAT REAL

WAS REACHING THE PEAK OF OUR

CAREER WITH THE SONG LEAD ME ON

THE RADIO, IT WAS THE BIGGEST

SONG WE HAD EVER HAD, IT WAS

KIND OF MY MOMENT TO REALLY

PROCESS THOSE QUESTIONS AS A

FATHER, AND FIGURE OUT HOW, AS

A DAD, I COULD FIGHT FOR MY

SON.

EVEN JUST THROUGH MY PRAYERS

AND YOU KNOW, BEING THERE FOR

HIM AND FOR MY WIFE.

MIRACULOUSLY, BOWEN

SURVIVED.

FAST FORWARD TO 2022.

NOW 11 AND THREE OPEN-HEART

SURGERIES LATER, BOWEN IS

INSPIRING THE LIVES OF MANY

THROUGH HIS OWN MUSIC.

GRATEFUL FOR HIS SON'S

RECOVERY, MATT IS ACTIVE IN THE

PRO LIFE MOVEMENT, SERVING AS

AMBASSADOR WITH SAVE THE

STORKS, HELPING THOSE FACING

UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES.

I THINK OF ALL THE WOMEN OR

YOUNG MEN WHO SIT ACROSS FROM A

DOCTOR WHO SAYS THE BEST CHOICE

FOR YOU IS TO RELINQUISH OUR

FATHERHOOD OR RELINQUISH YOUR

MOTHERHOOD AND MOVE ON WITH

YOUR LIFE.

BUT THAT IS NOT EMPOWERMENT.

EMPOWERMENT IS SAYING YOU CAN

CHOOSE THIS LIFE.

YOU CAN BE A MOTHER AND YOU CAN

BE A FATHER.

THE FATHER THAT GOD HAS CALLED

YOU TO BE.

I CAN HEAR HER SAYING LEAVE

ME.

MEANWHILE, THE HIT SONG LEAD

ME, ABOUT A MAN NEEDING TO

SPEND MORE TIME WITH HIS

FAMILY, LED MATT TO LEAVE THE

GROUP IN 2016.

A DECISION HE SAYS MADE HIM A

BETTER HUSBAND AND FATHER.

I COULD SEE ALL MY GOOD

INTENTION AS A FATHER AND I

COULD SEE SO MANY THINGS I

WANTED TO DO AS A DAD AND THAT

HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST GROWTH IN

ME IN LEARNING IT IS GREAT TO

HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS.

A MESSAGE HE NOW SHARES WITH

OTHER DADS.

CELEBRATE WHO YOU ARE CALLED

AND DESIGNED TO BE AS A FATHER.

AND GET OFF THE BENCH AND

REALLY GET INTO THE GAME.

IT IS THE GREATEST JOB THAT

WE'LL EVER GET TO DO IN OUR

LIVES, NEXT TO FOLLOWING CHRIST

AND LOVING THE WOMAN HE HAS PUT

IN OUR LIVES.

CHARLENE AARON CBN NEWS.

> SO BLESSED TO BE CALLED TO

BE A FATHER.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL OF

YOU OUT THERE AND GORDON, HAPPY

FATHER'S DAY TO YOU.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO YOU.

IT IS A WONDERFUL PRIVILEGE TO

BE A FATHER.

SO HONOR FATHER THESE SUNDAY.

HONOR THEM AND MAKE SURE YOU

APPRECIATE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE

AND HOW THEY HAVE GIVEN SO MUCH

TO ALL OF US.

AND LET'S PRAY THE RESTORATION

OF FATHERHOOD IN OUR COUNTRY

TODAY.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE AVERAGE

FAMILY, AND YOU SEE THAT IT IS

A ONE PARENT HOUSEHOLD, AND

THAT PARENT IS USUALLY A WOMAN,

YOU KNOW, WE CELEBRATE MOTHERS.

BUT WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT FOR

THE RESTORATION OF FATHERHOOD

AND THE PRINCIPLE TO FATHERS

JUST DON'T LEAVE.

THEY STAY THERE AND THEY RAISE

THEIR CHILDREN.

TERRY IN.

> UP NEXT, INDEPENDENCE DAY

FOR ALL AMERICANS AS WE

CELEBRATE JUNETEENTH, THE

ORIGINS BEHIND THIS HOLIDAY.

PLUS A WOMAN DREAMS SHE IS

SUFFOCATING.

THEN SHE WAKES UP TO THE

REALITY HER HOUSE IS ON FIRE.

SEE HOW HER HUSBAND'S HEROIC

ACTIONS SAVED HER, WHILE MAKING

HIM A HUMAN TORCH.

THAT IS AHEAD, ON TODAY'S 700

CLUB.

THIS SUNDAY JUNE 19th IS

FATHER'S DAY.

AND IT IS ALSO AMERICA'S 12th

FEDERAL HOLIDAY.

JUNETEENTH IS AN ANNUAL

CELEBRATION OF THE EMANCIPATION

CELEBRATION OF THE EMANCIPATION

OF PEOPLE FROM SLAVERY.

IT IS A DAY TO ENJOY FAMILY,

FRIENDS AND FOOD.

IT IS ALSO A TIME TO REFLECT ON

THE HISTORY OF THE HOLIDAY, AND

WHAT IT CAN TEACH US AS A

COUNTRY ABOUT HEALING RACE

RELATIONS.

BRODIE CARTER BRINGS US THE

STORY.

THE ORIGINS OF JUNETEENTH

DATE BACK TO THE CIVIL WAR,

WHERE SOME 750,000 SOLDIERS

DIED EITHER FIGHTING FOR

FREEDOM OR TO PRESERVE THE

INSTITUTION OF SLAVERY.

AND JUNETEENTH WAS JUST THE

BEGINNING OF PROGRESS.

WE LEARN ABOUT THE CIVIL

RIGHTS MOVEMENT.

BUT IT GETS REDUCED TO ROSA

PARKS AND THE "I HAVE A DREAM"

SPEECH AND MAYBE THE CIVIL

RIGHTS ACT.

AND THAT IS ALMOST THE BASIC

IDEA THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE

AROUND U.S. RACIAL HISTORY.

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLING

AUTHOR AND CHRISTIAN THINKER

DR. JAMAR TIS BY SAYS SOME OF

THE EVENTS HAVE BEEN ERASED

FROM AMERICAN HISTORY.

HE IS ON A MISSION REEDUCATING

THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE DAY

FREEDOM FINALLY CAME TO ALL

AMERICANS.

IT REPRESENTS THE DAY JUNE

19, 1865 WHEN ENSLAVED PEOPLE

IN TEXAS FIRST LEARNED OF THEIR

EMANCIPATION.

MAJOR GENERAL GORDON GRANGER OF

THE UNION ARMY, CAME TO TEXAS

AND ISSUED GENERAL ORDER NUMBER

3. AND IN THAT, HE SAID ALL

ENSLAVED PEOPLE IN TEXAS ARE

FREE.

> AT THAT TIME TEXAS WAS THE

FARTHEST STATE WEST AND THE

LAST TO HEAR OF FREEDOM.

MORE THAN TWO YEARS AFTER THE

EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION.

AS NEWS SPREAD THE SHOCKED FOR

THE 250,000 ENSLAVED TEXANS

QUICKLY TURNED TO CELEBRATION.

AS BLACK PEOPLE CELEBRATED

THEIR OWN EMANCIPATION IN THE

UNITED STATES, THEY LOOKED TO

THE BIBLE AND THE OLD TESTAMENT

AS INSPIRATION, AS BIBLICAL

JUSTIFICATION AND CONTINUITY

BETWEEN THE LIBERATION THEY

EXPERIENCED AND THE LIBERATION

THAT WAS SPOKEN OF IN THE

BIBLE.

Reporter: JUNETEENTH

COMBINES THE WORDS JUNE AND

NINETEENTH.

IT WAS ORIGINALLY REFERRED TO

AS JUBILEE DAY, CELEBRATING THE

ISRAELITES FREEDOM IN EGYPT.

BECAUSE BLACK PEOPLE, EACH

AFTER EMANCIPATION, WERE OFTEN

SEGREGATED AND WEREN'T ALLOWED

TO GATHER IN MANY PUBLIC

SPACES, MANY CELEBRATIONS OF

JUNETEENTH OCCURRED AT

CHURCHES.

THEY WOULD HAVE FIREWORKS,

IT WAS ALMOST A CARNIVAL-LIKE

ENVIRONMENT AND ATMOSPHERE.

THERE WERE ALWAYS MINISTERS

REACHING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE

OF JUNETEENTH AND IMPORTANCE OF

FREEDOM.

THE FREEDOM, GIVEN TO BLACK

AMERICANS WOULD BECOME

OVERSHADOWED BY THE JIM CROWE

LAW.

A PROFESSOR OF HISTORY SAYS

JUNETEENTH COMMEMORATIONS WENT

UNDERGROUND AS THE JIM CROWE

ERA RULED FOR NEARLY A CENTURY.

IN THAT ERA, YOU HAVE

LYNCHINGS, THE RISE OF RACE-

BASED SEGREGATION.

FOR MANY WHO DIDN'T WANT THE

CONFEDERACY TO LOSE, IT WAS NOT

A CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION, IT WAS

NOT SOMETHING THEY WANTED TO

HIGHLIGHT AND IF A LONG TIME,

PARTICULARLY IN THE JIM CROWE

ERA, THE FIELD OF HISTORY WAS

DOMINATED BY WHITE MEN WHO

LOOKED AT HISTORY FROM A

CERTAIN PERSPECTIVE AND WOULD

NOT HAVE SPENT MUCH TIME ON

SOMETHING LIKE JUNETEENTH.

HOWEVER, BLACK AMERICANS SAW

INCREDIBLE PROGRESS FROM THE

CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IN 64, THE

VOTING RIGHTS ACT IN 65 AND THE

FAIR HOUSING ACT IN 6. AND YET

BLOCK PEOPLE WERE STILL FACING

AN UPHILL BATTLE IN THIS

NATION.

WHY ARE BLACK PEOPLE AND

OTHER PEOPLE OF COLOR STILL

EXPERIENCING DISCRIMINATION AND

INEQUALITY AFTER THE GAINS OF

THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT -E AS

SOCIETY, INCLUDING HISTORIANS,

POLITICIANS AND OTHER RELIGIOUS

LEADERS, SEEK TO ADDRESS THE

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT RACE

STILL LINGERING TODAY, DR.

DISNEY BY BELIEVES THE CHURCH

COULD MAKE INCREDIBLE PROGRESS

IF WE UNDERSTAND RACISM IS

INDIVIDUAL AND INSTITUTIONAL.

IT IS BOTH INTERPERSONAL AND

SYSTEMIC.

WE NEED TO BOTH CHANGE HEARTS

AND CHANGE POLICIES.

I THINK THAT IS REALLY THE

CHALLENGE FOR THE CHURCH AROUND

RACE TODAY.

AS FOR JUNETEENTH, IT IS NOT

ONLY A DAY TO LEARN ABOUT

HISTORY -X CELEBRATE WITH

FOODS, FRIENDS AND FAMILY, IT

IS ALIAS A DAY TO COMMEMORATE

AND LAMONT.

WE HAVE TO EMBRACE THE PAIN,

THE SHAME, THE ANGER

COLLECTIVELY IN ORDER FOR US TO

BE A SINGLE NATION.

WE HAVE EVERY RESOURCE IN

THE HOLY SPIRIT TO BE ABLE TO

DO THAT.

TO LOOK HONESTLY AT OURSELVES

AND OUR NATION AND SAY WE GOT

IT WRONG.

BUT THAT IS OKAY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE DEFINED BY

THE PAST, AS A MATTER OF FACT

WHEN WE CONTINUE FESS IT AND

ARE TRUTHFUL ABOUT IT, THAT IS

WHEN HEALING BEGINS.

Reporter: HE OFFERS CONCRETE

WAYS THE CHURCH CAN BE A

"GUIDING LIGHT" IN THIS RACE

FOR JUSTICE.

FIRST BY BEING AWARE OF

INJUSTICE.

SECOND BUILDING COMMUNITY

RELATIONSHIPS WITH SCHOOLS AND

PEOPLE DIFFERENT FROM YOURSELF

AND THIRDLY, MAKING A

COMMITMENT TO FIND SOLUTIONS TO

PROBLEMS THAT STILL PLAGUE

PEOPLE OF COLOR TODAY.

BRODIE CARTER, CBN NEWS.

> PROCLAIM LIBERTY THROUGHOUT

THE LONDON.

THAT IS THE VERSE FROM

LEVITICUS.

EVERY 50 YEARS ALL THE SLAVES

IN ISRAEL WILL BE SET FREE.

AND IT WAS PROCLAIMED LIBERTY

THROUGHOUT THE LAND.

YOU FIND THAT VERSE ON OUR

LIBERTY BELL IN PHILADELPHIA,

THE SIMPLE ABOUT OF THE

AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND THEN IT

BECAME THE SYMBOL OF THE CIVIL

RIGHTS MOVEMENT.

BECAUSE UNDERNEATH THAT IS

SETTING POEM FREE.

THAT IS WHAT GOD WANTS TO DO.

SO LET THE CHURCH DO THAT AS

WELL.

LET US SET PEOPLE FREE.

FOR ME, THE SYMBOL OF

EQUALITY IN OUR NATION, THE

NEXT THING TO ACHIEVE IS FOR

AFRICAN AMERICAN PARENTS TO NO

LONGER BE REQUIRED TO HAVE THE

TALK WITH THEIR CHILDREN.

IF YOU GET ARRESTED, IF YOU

HAVE A CONFRONTATION ABOUT THE

POLICE, HERE'S HOW YOU ARE

GOING TO COME HOME ALIVE AND

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO

MAKE SURE THAT YOU AREN'T GOING

TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN JAIL.

YOU AREN'T GOING TO BE BEATEN,

ASK YOU AREN'T GOING TO BE

KILLED.

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.

WOULDN'T IT BE WONDERFUL TO

HAVE A CULTURE WHERE PARENTS

DON'T HAVE TO HAVE THAT TALK?

THEY DON'T HAVE TO WARN THEIR

CHILDREN DON'T DRIVE THROUGH

THIS PARTICULAR STATE OR DON'T

DRIVE THROUGH THIS PARTICULAR

AREA?

THAT WOULD BE A GREAT AMERICA

TO LIVE IN, AND IT WOULD BE A

GREAT LEGACY TO LEAVE OUR

CHILDREN AND OUR GRANDCHILDREN.

SO WE'LL ACCEPT BRIGHT

JUNETEENTH.

IT IS A WONDERFUL WAY TO SAY

LET'S ALL-PRO CLAIM LIBERTY

THROUGHOUT THE LICENSE.

TERRY?

> STILL AHEAD ON MAN ON FIRE.

HE RUSHED INTO A BLAZING

INFERNO TO RESCUE HIS WIFE.

HE WOUND UP WITH THIRD DEGREE

BURNS ON 90% OF HIS BODY.

STAY TUNED TO SEE HOW HE

SURVIVED NO AND THEN, LOSING

WET AND LOSING CONTROL.

A RAGING OBSESSION WITH BEING

SKINNY NEARLY KILLED THIS YOUNG

WOMAN.

SHE TELLS US ABOUT HER WAKE UP

CALL, LACER ON TODAY'S SHOW.

.

> JASON AND AMANDA REESE WOKE

UP FROM SOUND SLEEP UNDERNEATH

A BLANKET OF SMOKE.

THEIR HOUSE WAS BURNING DOWN.

JASON MANAGED TO ESCAPE THROUGH

THE SCORCHING FLAMES AND THEN

HE REALIZED AMANDA WAS STILL

INSIDE.

WHAT HAPPENED NEXT TURNED JASON

INTO A HUMAN TORCH.

IT WAS LIKE OKAY, LORD, I

HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON.

AND I JUST PRAYED, BECAUSE I

DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS PRAYING

FOR OR WHAT I WAS PRAYING

ABOUT.

SO I JUST PRAYED IN THE SPIRIT.

CHRISTIE GILMER WOKE IN THE

MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WITH THE

DREADFUL SENSE THAT SOMEONE

NEEDED PRAYER.

AS SHE PRAYED OVER 1000 MILES

AWAY, HER DAUGHTER AMANDA AND

HER HUSBAND, JASON, LADA SLEEP,

SUFFOCATING IN A HOUSE FIRE.

I WAS DREAMING I WAS IN A

DARK ROOM, IT WAS HOT, I

COULDN'T BREATHE.

AND I WOKE UP AND THERE WAS A

TEXTURE IN THE AIR AND I STILL

COULDN'T BREATHE AND I WAS

STILL REALLY HOT.

I SAID JASON, SOMETHING IS NOT

RIGHT.

IT TOOK HIM ALL BUT TWO SECONDS

TO REALIZE WHAT WAS GOING ON.

HE SAID THERE IS A FIRE.

JASON AND AMANDA FRANTICALLY

TRIED TO ESCAPE.

THE WINDOWS WOULDN'T OPEN UNDER

THE INTENSE HEAT AND VACUUM OF

THE FIRE.

WHEN WE OPENED THE BEDROOM

DOOR IS I NOTICED A GLOW AND IT

WAS LIKE YOU HIT A BRICK WALL

AND MY BODY WOULDN'T EVEN TAKE

ANOTHER STEP FORWARD.

IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO BREATHE.

I HAD THOUGHT THAT WE HAD BOTH

TURNED AROUND AND I RAN IN THE

OPPOSITE DIRECTION TO THE

KITCHEN.

JASON RAN THROUGH THE HEAT

AND BROKE THROUGH THE FRONT

DOOR.

AIR RUSHED IN AND FED THE

FLAMES.

THE AIR IN THE ROOM STARTS

TO SWIRL AROUND.

THE HEAT INTENSIFIES.

WHEN I DIDN'T SEE HIM, MY

INITIAL REACTION WAS, HE IS

PROBABLY DEAD.

AND I CAN'T GET OUT OF HERE

WITHOUT HIM.

OUTSIDE JASON REALIZED

AMANDA HADN'T MADE IT THROUGH

AND WENT BACK INTO THE HOTTEST

PART OF THE FIRE, WHERE HE

FOUND HER SEARCHING FOR HIM.

THEY WERE NOW ABLE TO OPEN A

WINDOW AND ESCAPE.

THEY DROVE TO A NEIGHBOR'S

HOUSE AND THEN RUSHED TO THE

HOSPITAL.

BOTH WERE SEVERELY BURNED BUT

JASON HAD THE MOST OF IT.

DOCTORS TOLD AMANDA DEVASTATING

NEWS.

THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY

HE WILL SUCCUMB TO THESE

INJURIES IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

MY ONLY RESPONSE WAS OUT LOUD,

IN JESUS' NAME, HE WILL LIVE.

JASON HAD BURNS OVER 93% OF

HIS BODY.

DOCTORS DID EVERYTHING IN THEIR

POWER TO KEEP HIM ALIVE.

HE WAS INTUBATED AND PLACED IN

A COMA.

HE HAD A BLOOD INFECTION, LUNG

DAMAGE, AND FACED POTENTIAL

BLINDNESS IF HE SURVIVED.

AMANDA PUT HER HOPE IN THE

LORD.

THIS IS SO MUCH BIGGER THAN

HE MOO.

THIS IS SO MUCH BIGGER THAN

HIM.

I SURRENDER HIM TO YOU.

Reporter: AMANDA SAYS SHE

WAS FILLED WITH PEACE FROM THAT

MOMENT ON.

THAT NIGHT HER MOM CHRISTIE

ARRIVED TO THE HOSPITAL AND

JOINED AMANDA IN PRAYERS OF

FAITH FOR JASON'S LIFE AND

HEALING.

WE NEVER WAVERED OR

FAULTTERRED.

I KNEW THAT HE WOULD LIVE AND

HE WOULDN'T DIE.

BECAUSE HE WOKE ME UP.

HE WOKE ME UP TO START PRAYING.

Reporter: DAYS WENT BY AND

JASON CLUNG TO LIFE AS AMANDA,

CHRISTIE AND HER CHURCH FAMILY

WENT BOLDLY TO GOD WITH A LIST

OF SPECIFIC NEEDS WHERE IT IS

NOT EVEN HOUR BY HOUR.

IT IS MINUTE TO MINUTE WITH

HIM.

IF YOUR HUSBAND SURVIVES, YOU

ARE LOOKING AT UPWARDS OF TWO

YEARS IN THIS BURN UNIT, WITH

HUNDREDS OF SURGERIES.

HE MIGHT LOSE HIS NOSE, HE

MIGHT LOSE HIS EARS.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

I WAS LIKE YES.

WE TURNED ON WORSHIP MUSIC AND

STARTED PRAYING TO THE SPIRIT

AND STARTED SPEAKING LIFE OVER

HIS BODY.

BY THIS POINT IT IS NOT COMING

TO HIM WITH WEEPING EYES AND A

HEAVY HEART, IT WAS WE ARE

GIVING YOU PERMISSION TO MOVE.

SO WITH CONFIDENCE AND

AUTHORITY AND LIFE MORE

ABUNDANTLY, NOTHING MISSING,

NOTHING BROKEN WOULD TWO WASTE

CONNECTIONS AFTER THE FIRE,

JASON WOKE FROM HIS COMA.

HE EXPERIENCED HEALING AT AN

UNPRECEDENTED RATE.

HIS BLOOD INFECTION WAS HEALED

AND EVERY SKIN GRAFT WAS

SUCCESSFUL.

HE WOULD TELL THEM IN JESUS'

NAME WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THIS

AND THE NEXT DAY, THEY WOULD BE

LIKE OMETHING WORKS.

WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING WORKED.

DOCTORS WOULD UNCOVER HIM

BEFORE SURGERY AND THEM BE IN

AWE.

LIKE THEY COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT

THEY WERE LOOKING AT.

BECAUSE SKIN GREW WHERE THERE

WAS NO SKIN -E AS PRAYERS OF

FAITH CONTINUED, JASON

REMEMBERS FEELING HOPEFUL HE

WOULD FULLY RECOVER AND RESUME

A NORMAL LIFE AND I THINK WHAT

I LEARNED WITH OTHER PEOPLE

STEPPING IN AND SAYING EXPECT

GOOD THINGS.

EXPECT WHOLENESS.

MY OUTLOOK OF WHETHER THIS

TURNS OUT GOOD IN THE END OR

BAD WAS REPLACED WITH HOPE.

HUFF USED ALL YOUR RESOURCES

AND THERE IS NO MORE, WHY NOT

COUNT ON THE LORD?

WHY NOT CALL ON HIM AND WHY NOT

GIVE HIM A SHOT?

THE SCRIPTURE A'S HAASE TONE

SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD.

AND I'M SO GRATEFUL THAT

NOTHING IS MISSING AND NOTHING

IS BROKEN.

Reporter: TWO MONTHS TO THE

DAY AFTER THE FIRST.

JASON WALKED OUT OF THE BURN

UNIT, THANKFUL GOD WAS WITH HIM

IN THEIR TIME OF DEEPEST NEED.

I DON'T THINK IT IS AN

ANOMALY, OR A FREAK.

I THINK IT IS A MID-AMERICA.

I REALLY ENJOY WHERE I WAS AT

IN LIFE AND ALL THE THINGS I

GOT TO DO AND THE LOWER WAS

FAITHFUL TO RESTORE ALL OF

THOSE THINGS.

AND 90% OF MY SKIN WAS

REPLACED.

I REGAINED MY VISION.

I DIDN'T LOSE ANY OF MY LIMBS.

SENSITIVITY BACK ALL OVER MY

BODY.

100%.

I HAVE THE SCARS NOW.

BUT EVEN THEY ARE FADING.

THERE IS NO DENYING HIM ANY

MORE.

IT DOES FILL ME WITH

CONFIDENCE.

I CAN TRUTHFULLY SAY I KNOW

THERE IS NOTHING I WILL FACE

THAT HE WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF.

GOD SAYS I AM THE GOD OF ALL

FLESH.

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME,

HE MEANS IT.

WOW.

WHAT A STORY.

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MIRACLE.

DOCTORS WOULD SAY IT WOULD BE

TWO YEARS, HUNDREDS OF

SURGERIES, TURNED INTO TWO

MONTHS, SKIN SPONTANEOUSLY

GROWING WHERE THERE WAS NO SKIN

BEFORE.

YOU LOOK AT THESE KINDS OF

STORIES, THIS KIND OF MID-

AMERICA, YOU CAN'T HELP BUT

BELIEVE.

AND WHEN YOU BELIEVE, YOU DO

EXACTLY WHAT MIRANDA SAID.

GOD, I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO

MOVE.

ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL?

THAT IS A WONDERFUL WAY TO LOOK

AT IT.

SO MUCH WANTS FOR SAY THIS IS

IMPOSSIBLE, THIS ISN'T GOING TO

HAPPEN.

YOU ARE JUST GOING TO BE

DISAPPOINTED.

ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT SHUT

DOWN FAITH.

BUT SHE SAID NO, LORD, I GIVE

YOU PERMISSION TO MOVE.

WHEN YOU HAVE THAT KIND OF

FAITH, YOU GET RESULTS.

NOW TERRY AND I ARE GOING TO

PRAY FOR YOU.

BEFORE WE PRI, WE HAVE SOME

OTHER MIRACLE REPORTS.

HERE'S AN ASTOUNDING ONE.

40 YEARS, BILLY HAD CHRONIC

SPINAL ISSUES.

IT WAS EXTREMELY PAINFUL.

WATCHING THE 700 CLUB TERRY

SAID SOMEONE HAS A DEFORMITY ON

YOUR SPINE AND YOU HAVE HAD IT

YOUR WHOLE LIFE.

YOU HAVEN'T EVEN THOUGHT TO

PRAY ABOUT IT.

GOD IS HEALING AND CORRECTING

YOUR SPINE, AND YOUR INABILITY

TO MOVE IS GOING TO CHING.

BILLY BELIEVED.

HE GAVE PERMISSION FOR GOD TO

MOVE AND WAS INSTANTLY, AFTER

40 YEARS, INSTANTLY OUT OF PIN.

SO HAPPY FOR YOU, BILLY.

> THIS IS MARGARITE.

SHE DEVELOPED PAIN IN THE RIGHT

SIDE OF HER YEAH.

SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.

ONE DAY SHE WAS WATCHING THIS

PROGRAM AND GORDON SHE HEARD

YOU SAY YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS

IF YOUR RIGHT JAW.

YOU ARE NOT EVEN PRAYING FOR IT

BUT GOD IS AWARE.

HE WANTS TO HEAL YOU.

MARGARITE SAID THAT IS ME AND

THE PAIN LEFT RIGHT AWAY.

> HERE'S A FIRST FOR YOU TO

SAY.

THAT IS ME.

HE HEALS ALL YOUR DISEASES.

HE FORGIVES ALL YOUR INIQUITY.

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT

HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,

WHOSOEVER, THAT IS ME,

WHOSOEVER WILL BELIEVE ON HIM

WOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVER

LASTING LIFE.

IF ANY OF YOU ARE SICK, ANY,

THAT CAN BE YOU, TOO.

IF ANY ARE SICK, LET THEM CALL

FOR THE ELDERS AND THE PRAYER

OF FAITH WILL RAISE THEM UP.

LET'S GIVE PERMISSION FOR GOD

TO MOVE.

LET HIM MOVE IN YOUR LIFE, IN

YOUR BODY, THROUGHOUT ANY

PROBLEM YOU HAVE, JUST GIVE IT

OVER TO HIM AND SAY GOD, I GIVE

YOU PERMISSION.

I CAN'T DO THIS BUT YOU SURE

CAN.

AND I GIVE YOU, I INVITE YOU

INTO THIS, OH THAT YOUR GLORY

WILL BE REVEALED.

LET'S PRAY AND LET'S BELIEVE

GOD FOR MIRACLES RIGHT NOW.

> LORD, WE COME TO YOU, WE

COME TO YOU BELIEVING.

WE COME TO YOU BELIEVING IN THE

CROSS.

WE COME BELIEVING THAT BY YOUR

STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.

WE COME BELIEVING IN THE BLOOD

SHED IF US.

WE COME BELIEVING THAT YOU HAVE

FORGIVEN ALL OUR INANYTHING

TIS.

YOU CLEANSE US FROM ALL

UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.

WE COME TO YOU BELIEVING THAT

YOU HAVE HEALED ALL OUR

DISEASES.

SO LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, STRETCH

FORTH YOUR HAND TO HEAL.

YOU ARE THE GOOD OF OUR FLESH

AND YOU ARE ABLE TO HEAL ALL

FLESH NOW.

YOU ARE ABLE TO RESTORE SKIN,

YOU ARE SABLE TO RESTORE

ORGANS, YOU ARE ABLE TO TAKE

AWAY ALL DISEASE, ALL CANCER,

ALL TUMORS, ALL PROBLEMS.

YOU HEAL ALL OUR DISEASES.

WE RECEIVE IT NOW.

IN YOUR NAME.

> THERE IS SOMEONE YOU ARE

SUFFERING, YOU SAW THIS STORY

ABOUT THE MAN WHO WAS BURNED,

AND YOU ARE SUFFERING WITH LING

PROBLEMS IN YOUR LUNGS BECAUSE

OF A FIRE.

IT HAS REALLY AFFECTED YOUR

ABILITY TO BREATHE.

GOD IS HEALING YOUR LUNGS RIGHT

NOW.

HE IS ABLE TO MAKE THEM

COMPLETELY NEW.

GET RID OF ALL SCARRING, ALL

PROBLEMS.

TAKE A DEEP BREATH IN.

THAT TIGHTNESS, ALL OF THAT IS

A REPORTER PRESSED PELOSI

THURSDAY ABOUT REPUBLICAN

CLAIMS THAT DEMOCRATIC RHETORIC

ON ABORTION IS DRIVING THE

ATTACKS.

PELOSI DIDN'T ANSWER THE

QUESTION.

INSTEAD SHE TALKED ABOUT HER

SUPPORT FOR ABORTION RIGHTS.

A WOMAN HAS A RIGHT TO

CHOOSE.

TO LIVE UP TO HER

RESPONSIBILITY, IT IS UP TO

HER, HER DOCTOR, HER FAMILY,

HER HUSBAND, HER SIGNIFICANT

OTHER, AND HER GOD.

PELOSI WENT ON TO CALL

HERSELF QUOTE A VERY CATHOLIC

PERSON.

> CBN'S OPERATION BLESSING IS

HELPING PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD

WITH FOOD WHEN THEY NEED IT.

KENYA HAS SUFFERED THROUGH A

BITTER DROUGHT THIS YEAR.

MOST COMMUNITY MEMBERS MAKE A

CAMELS TO SELL.

MANY OF THEIR ANIMALS DIED FROM

LACK OF WATER, MAKING IT HARD

TO PROVIDE FOR THE CHILDREN,

THEN HELP ARRIVED, THANKS TO

C1

.

> FIVE SECONDS.

THAT IS ALL IT TOOK FOR AN

EARTHQUAKE TO DESTROY ANITA'S

HOUSE IN PERU.

SUDDENLY THIS WIDOW AND HER

FOUR CHILDREN WERE HOMELESS.

THE FAMILY HAD NO MONEY TO

REBUILD.

AND AS IT TURNED OUT, THEY

DIDN'T NEED ANY.

IT WAS EARLY ON A SUNDAY

MORNING WHEN AN EARTHQUAKE

STRUCK THE NATION OF PERU.

SHE AND HER CHILDREN HAD BEEN

ASLEEP.

BEFORE HE DIED, MY HUSBAND

AND I BUILT A HOUSE FOR THE

CHILDREN TO LIVE IN.

IN JUST FIVE SECONDS, ANITA

WAS ALREADY A WIDOW, AND WAS

LEFT HOMELESS WITH FOUR

CHILDREN.

THIS WAS ALL THAT WAS LEFT.

THE FAMILY SOUGHT SHELTER

WITH RELATIVES.

THERE WAS NO MONEY TO REBUILD.

THEN OPERATION BLESSING

HEARD ABOUT ANITA'S SITUATION.

WITHIN A FEW DAYS, WE DELIVERED

NEW BUILDING MATERIALS, METAL

SHEETS FOR A ROOF.

THEN WE HIRED CONSTRUCTION

WORKERS FROM THE COMMUNITY AND

BUILT ANITA AND THE CHILDREN A

BRAND NEW HOUSE.

WE ALSO PROVIDED NEW BEDS AND

FURNITURE AND AS YOU CAN SEE,

DEDICATION DAY WAS FILLED WITH

EMOTION.

I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR

EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR ME.

WE ARE SO HAPPY.

A MOMENT, CAN'T IT?

YOU KNOW YOU THINK EVERYTHING

OF COMFORTABLE DOING YOUR DAY-

TO-DAY WHATEVER THAT REQUIRES.

AND THEN, AND THEN AN

EARTHQUAKE, A FLOOD, A FIRE,

AND THINGS CAN TURN COMPLETELY

UPSIDE DOWN.

NOW ADD TO THAT.

YOU ARE A SINGLE MOM WITH FOUR

CHILDREN.

YOUR HUSBAND HAS DIED AND YOU

ARE JUST TRYING TO GET ALONG

FROM DAY-TO-DAY.

SOMETHING THAT WAS COMPLETELY

HOPELESS UNTIL 700 CLUB MEMBERS

THAT.

YOU GAVE THIS FAMILY EVERYTHING

THEY NED TODAY MOVE FORWARD,

NOT JUST WITH HOPE, BUT WITH

JOY.

THEY NEVER SAW THIS COMING.

TALK ABOUT GOING FROM JUST A

SENSE OF HOPELESSNESS TO ALMOST

UNBELIEF THAT YOU COULD HAVE A

HOME BUILT THAT IS SO LOVELY.

COMFORTABLE.

ALL IN SEARCH OF THE PERFECT

BODY.

THE NEED TO LOSE EVEN MORE

WEIGHT, AND FIND OUT WHAT

HAPPENED WHEN HER MOTHER

DISCOVERED HER SECRET.

THAT IS NEXT.

.

> PENSACOLA ANY WILSON COULD

COUNT EVERY ONE OF HER

DAUGHTER'S RIBS.

SHE WAS SHOCKED WHEN SHE SAW

HER STEP OUT OF THE SHOWER.

SHE HAD BEEN ON A NONSTOP BINGE

OF EXTREME DIET AND GO

EXERCISE.

AND BEFORE LONG, IT WAS SLOWLY

KILLING HER.

I WOULD HAVE A RUSH OF

ANXIETY ONCE I HOPPED ON THE

SCALE.

ONCE I SAW 74 ON THE SCALE,

THAT SCARED ME.

RANDY WILSON HAD ALWAYS BEEN

A PETITE GIRL.

NOW IN HER 20s, SHE WAS TRYING

TO GET EVEN SMALLER.

I COULD ACTUALLY REALLY HURT

MYSELF IF I KEEP THIS UP.

IT IS NOT LIKE I CAN JUST KEEP

GOING DOWN AND STILL BE ALIVE.

Reporter: IT ALL STARTED IN

SEPTEMBER OF 2012, STILL

GRIEVING FROM THE LOSS OF HER

GRANDMOTHER MONTHS EARLIER SHE

WAS BACK IN COLLEGE FOR HER

JUNIOR YEAR.

ALONE, LIVING ON CAMPUS AND

JUGGLING A CHALLENGING

SCHEDULE, SHE BECAME OBSESSED

WITH BEING THIN.

NOT THROUGH PURGING BUT

EXERCISING AND DIETING.

IT WAS LIKE A DRUG.

I STARTED KIND OF KEEPING TRACK

OF ALL THE CALORIES I WAS

INTAKING AND HOW MANY I WAS

EXERTING AT THE GYM.

INITIALLY, I DON'T THINK I KNEW

THAT I HAD LOST CONTROL.

Reporter: THEN SHE STARTED

DATING A GUY WHO PREFERRED

SLENDER WOMEN.

RANDY REMEMBERS ONE NIGHT ON A

DATE HE INSINUATED SHE WAS FAT.

I WAS COMPLETELY EMBARRASSED

AND HURT AND SO I BEGAN TAKING

ALL OF THE EXERCISE AND ALL OF

MY DIET HABITS TO A WHOLE NEW

LEVEL.

IT BECAME REALLY IMPORTANT TO

ME TO MAKE SURE THAT MY BODY

WAS

PERFECT.

Reporter: WITHIN ONE MONTH,

OVEREXER SIZING AND DIETING HAD

TAKEN OVER HER LIFE.

BY NOW SHE HAD DROPPED FIVE

SIZE AND HIS WAS WEARING BAGGIE

CLOTHES TO HIDE HER BODY.

HER MOM, PENNY, NOTICED IT ONE

DAY WHEN SHE WALKED IN THE

BATHROOM AND SAW RANDY GETTING

OUT OF THE SHOWER.

I SAW EVERY RIB ON THE TOP

PART OF HER BODY.

I WAS IN SHOCK.

I WAS LIKE, AND I REMEMBER

SAYING SOMETHING LIKE RANDY,

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU LOOK AWFUL.

Reporter: AT ONCE, PENNY

TOOK RANDY TO THEIR DOCTOR.

WEIGHING IN AT BARELY 85

POUNDS, RANDY WAS DIAGNOSED

WITH ANOREXIA AND PRESCRIBED A

MEDICATION.

BY CHRISTMAS EVE SHE WEIGHED 74

POUNDS AND HER HEART RATE

DROPPED SO LOW, SHE HAD TO BE

HOSPITALIZED.

DOCTORS TOLD HER MOM SHE COULD

DIE.

IT WAS SHEER PANIC.

I KNEW THAT THINGS COULD BE

CLOSE TO THE END IF SOMETHING

DIDN'T HAPPEN QUICK.

IT WAS A MOMENT OF SHOCK FOR

ME.

AND I WAS ACTUALLY SCARED FOR

THE FIRST TIME.

I NEED TO GAIN WEIGHT FOR MY

HEALTH.

BUT I WAS SCARED ABOUT WOULD I

LET MYSELF?

I PRAYED AND I KNOW GOD

HEARD MY PRAYERS.

I BELIEVE IN GOD HEALING AND I

BELIEVE IN GOD'S MIRACLES.

AFTER BEING RELEASED FROM

THE HOSPITA, RANDY DROPPED OUT

OF COLLEGE.

OVER THE NEXT SIX YEARS, SHE

BATTLED ANOREXIA AND

DEPRESSION.

DURING THIS TIME SHE ALSO BEGAN

ATTENDING CHURCH, PRAYING AND

READING HER BIBLE.

ONE DAY IN A TREATMENT CENTER,

RANDY SAYS SHE HAD A REVELATION

FROM GOD.

IF I EVER WANT TO HAVE A

LIFE, WHETHER OR NOT I'M ABLE

TO HAVE KIDS IF I WANT TO GET

MARRIED OR TRAVEL AND SEE THE

WORD, THE ONLY THING THAT IS

GOING FOR MAKE ME CHANGE IS BY

ASKING GOD TO HELP ME.

GOD WAS SAYING I'M NOT

EXPECTING YOU TO BE PERFECT.

GET ON YOUR KNEES EVERY TIME

YOU START TO SLIP AND FALL AND

ASK ME TO HELP YOU.

IT WAS LIKE A WEIGHT WAS LIFTED

OFF ME.

LIKE I COULD FINALLY ASK GOD TO

HELP ME LET GO OF THIS

OBSESSION THAT HAS BEEN

CONTROLLING ME.

Reporter: NEAR THE END OF

HER TIME IN TREATMENT, SHE WAS

LOOKING TO GOD, EATING MORE AND

EXERCISING LESS.

SHE HAD GAINED 15 POUNDS.

I MEAN IT TOOK TIME.

BUT THE MORE I ASKED HIM TO

GIVE ME PEACE, HE DID.

Reporter: THEN ANOTHER

PRAYER WAS ANSWERED.

IN 2018 RANDY MARRIED BEN, AND

THE TWO HOPED TO START A

FAMILY.

HOWEVER, DOCTORS BELIEVED IT

WAS UNLIKELY SHE WOULD BE ABLE

TO CONCEIVE, BECAUSE OF THE

DAMAGE SHE HAD DONE TO HER

BODY.

SO FOR OVER THREE YEARS, THEY

TRIED AND PRAYED.

UNTIL FINALLY, RANDY GOT

PREGNANT.

IN JUNE 2021 RANDY GAVE BIRTH

TO THEIR DAUGHTER THEY NAMED

NOAH.

I WAS SO FLOODED WITH

EMOTIONS, IT WAS THE BEST

FEELING I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY

ENTIRE LIFE AND I SEE NOAH FOR

THE FIRST TIME, AND IT IS

AMAZING.

JUST TO SEE LIFE THAT WASN'T

SUPPOSED TO BE THERE.

TODAY RANDY ENJOYS BEING A

STAY AT HOME MOM AND IS

PREGNANT WITH HER SECOND BABY.

SHE USES HER TIME AT A

NONPROFIT TO HELP PEOPLE WHO

STRUGGLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH

ISSUES, INCLUDING EATING

DISORDERS.

THE VALUE OF MY IMAGE COMES

FROM I SENSE OF BOUT THAT I GET

FROM GOD.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE FAMILY

MEMBERS THAT ARE GOING THROUGH

A SIMPLE ALREADY SITUATION TO

NEVER GIVE UP, TO CONTINUE TO

PRAY THAT GOD DOES MIRACLES AND

HE STILL DOES THEM.

PRAYER IS YOUR GREATEST

WEAPON.

BECAUSE WHEN YOU OPEN UP YOUR

HEART TO PRAYER, THAT IS WHEN

GOD CAN COME IN AND GIVE YOU

THE STRENGTH YOU NEED TO

OVERCOME.

LIFE CHALLENGES US IN SO

MANY WAYS, DOESN'T IT?

SO OFTEN, WHEN WE FEEL OBSESSED

BY SOMETHING OR WHEN WE TRY TO

MANAGE SOME KIND OF PERFECTION

IN OUR LIVES, IT IS REALLY A

CONTROL ISSUE.

YOU KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW GOOD

ENOUGH TO FEEL LIKE WE CAN

REALLY TRUST HIM.

SO WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS IN

OUR LIVES, IT SEEMS LIKE IN

RANDY'S LIFE IT WAS THE DEATH

OF HER GRANDMOTHER THAT

INITIALLY TRIGGERED THIS.

AND ALMOST A SPIRIT OF FEAR

ABOUT LIFE AND WHAT IT MEANS TO

US AND WHAT OUR PLACE IN IT IS.

YOU KNOW, GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US

THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF

POWER, LOVE AND A SOUND MIND.

AND SO, WHEN YOU FEEL ANY OF

THIS COMING UPON YOU, REJECT

IT, SPEAK TO IT AND SAY NO, GO

TO GOD'S WORD AND SPECK THE

TRUTH OF WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT WHO

YOU ARE.

GOD DOESN'T ASK US FOR

PERFECTION.

HE DOESN'T ASK US TO GET OUR

LIVES TOGETHER.

HE ASKS US TO COME TO HIM.

AND HIS PROMISE IS, IN HIM, WE

WILL FIND FULLNESS OF JOY.

WE WILL FIND WHOLENESS.

WE WILL FIND THE PURPOSE FOR

WHICH WE WERE CREATED.

A SENSE OF WELL-BEING, A SENSE

OF LOVE AND MERCY AND GRACE.

IF YOU ARE MISSING THAT IN YOUR

LIFE, GO TO THE FATHER.

HIS HEART IS ALL FOR YOU.

HE KNEW YOU BEFORE YOU WERE

FORMED IN YOUR MOTHER'S WOMB

AND HE CREATED YOU WITH

INTENTION AND PURPOSE.

DON'T MISS OUT ON THAT.

BECAUSE SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IN

YOUR LIFE HAS SKEWED YOUR

PERCEPTION OF WHO YOU ARE.

COME TO THE HEART OF THE

FATHER, FIND FORGIVENESS,

REDEMPTION AND HOPE FOR YOUR

FUTURE.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE

ABOUT BEING FREE, WE HAVE A

LITTLE BROCHURE WE'D LIKE TO

SEND YOU.

GOD'S POWER IN YOUR LIE.

THE NUMBER TO GET IT IS ON YOUR

SCREEN.

1-800-700-7000.

BOTH ARE FREE.

> WE THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH

US TODAY AND WE WANT TO LEAVE

YOU WITH THESE WORDS FROM PSALM

9 VERSE 1. I WILL GIVE THANKS

TO YOU, LORD, WITH ALL MY

HEART.

I WILL TELL OF ALL YOUR

WONDERFUL DEEDS.

GOD BLESS YOU.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND WE'LL
