SPONSORED BY CBN.

> COMING UP, A PASTOR ON THE

FRONT LINES.

THIS CHAPEL IN UKRAINE IS

EVACUATING REFUGEES.

HE IS DELIVERING SUPPLIES TO

BOMB SHELTERS.

HE IS SHOWING TRUE FAITH UNDER

FIRE.

YOUR HANDS SHAKE.

WE HAVE HIS STORY.

THAT IS TODAY ON THE 700 CLUB.

> WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

FOR YEARS, ISRAEL AND IRAN HAVE

BEEN FIGHTING EACH OTHER IN A

SHADOW WAR.

NOW, THAT IS CHANGING.

ACTIONS TO A WHOLE NEW

LEVEL.

CHRIS MITCHELL BRINGS US THE

DETAILS FROM JERUSALEM.

RECENTLY, NEFTALI BENNETT

ANNOUNCED NEW RULES OF

ENGAGEMENT, CALLED OPERATION

OCTOPUS.

HE SAID IN THE PAST YEAR, THE

STATE OF ISRAEL HAS TAKEN

ACTION AGAINST THE HEAD OF THE

TERRORIST OCTOPUS.

THE DAYS OF IMMUNITY, IN WHICH

THEY ATTACK AND SPREAD

TERRORISM THE ORIGINAL PROXIES

ARE OVER.

I THINK IT IS WELL OVERDUE

FOR ISRAEL AND SAUDI ARABIA AND

THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, ALL

OF THESE COUNTRIES THAT HAVE

BEEN VICTIMS OF THE IRANIAN

REGIME PROXY ACTIVITY TO START

TO HOLD IRAN ACCOUNTABLE,

RATHER THAN THE PROXIES.

SOME SEE A RATCHETING UP OF

ISRAEL'S COVERT AND EVEN OVERT

OPERATIONS TO THWART IRAN'S

NUCLEAR AND CONVENTIONAL

MISSILE AND DRONE PROGRAMS.

IT COULD EXPLAIN THE MYSTERIOUS

DEATHS RECENTLY OF A NUMBER OF

IRANIAN NUCLEAR SCIENTISTS AND

MILITARY LEADERS.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS ISRAEL'S

RECENT ATTACK ON THE DAMASCUS

AIRPORT, WHICH ISRAEL SEES AS A

MAJOR CONDUIT OF IRANIAN

WEAPONS ON THEIR WAY TO

HEZBOLLAH IN SYRIA.

NOW, ISRAEL SAYS IRAN IS

THREATENING TO RETALIATE BY

KIDNAPPING OR KILLING ISRAELIS

IN THE REGION, ESPECIALLY IN

TURKEY.

WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEING

ATTEMPTS TO ATTACK ISRAELIS IN

VARIOUS OVERSEAS LOCATIONS.

THEY ARE WORKING TO THWART

ATTEMPTED ATTACKS BEFORE THEY

ARE LAUNCHED.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO STRIKE

THOSE WHO SEND THE TERRORISTS

AND THOSE WHO SENDS THOSE WHO

SENT THEM.

WHOEVER SENDS PAYS.

Reporter: BENNY GANTZ

ANNOUNCED A REGIONAL

COOPERATIVE MIDDLE EAST AIR

DEFENSE LED BY THE U.S.

IT CAN HELP WITH ANYTHING

RELATED TO IRAN'S ATTEMPTS TO

ATTACK COUNTRIES OF THE REGION

USING ROCKETS, MISSILES, CRUISE

MISSILES AND UAVs.

IT IS ALREADY THWARTING IRANIAN

ATTEMPTS THAT I SPOKE ABOUT ON

OTHER OCCASIONS, BOTH HERE AND

IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

Reporter: WITH THE COLLAPSE

OF ISRAELI GOVERNMENT, THEY

EXPECT ISRAEL TO ENTER A

DANGEROUS SEASON.

THE REGIME CAN SEE ALL OF

THIS AS A MOMENT OF

VULNERABILITY FOR THE ISRAELIS

AND TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE.

MY HOPE IS THE ISRAELIS, AS

MUCH AS THEY ARE DEALING WITH

ELECTIONS AND COBBLING TOGETHER

COALITIONS, IS THAT THEY DO

KEEP FOCUS ON WHAT THEY CALL

THE EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO THEM,

THAT THE IRANIAN REGIME POSES.

Reporter: THIS COMES AS THE

IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL SEEMS ON THE

BRINK OF COLLAPSE.

SENATORS ON BOTH SIDES SAY IT

IS UNLIKELY IRAN WILL AGREE TO

ANY NEW DEAL TO LIMIT ITS

DEVELOPMENT OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,

JERUSALEM.

THE REASON THEY ARE UNLIKELY

TO AGREE TO ANY NEW DEALS IS

THEY ARE ON THE VERGE OF

DEVELOPING THEIR OWN NUCLEAR

WEAPON.

REPORTS OF THE U.N. AND OUR

INTELLIGENCE SERVICES ARE VERY

CLOSE.

IF THEY REQUIRE THAT, THIS IS

AN ABSOLUTE GAME-CHANGER FOR

PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

> THE SENATE IS MOVING

TOWARDS A FINAL VOTE ON THE

BIPARTISAN GUN RESTRICTION BILL

BY THE END OF THIS WEEKEND.

MARK MARTIN HAS THAT STORY FROM

THE CBN NEWSROOM.

Reporter: THE BILL LOOKS

LIKELY TO PASS THE SENATE AND

THEN WILL GO TO THE HOUSE.

THE TOP TWO REPUBLICANS OPPOSE

THE MEASURE.

THEY SAY CONGRESS MUST NOT

INFRINGE ON SECOND AMENDMENT

RIGHTS AND TRY TO STOP VIOLENT

CRIMES.

THEY ALSO SAY THE BILL IS

LIKELY TO PASS THE HOUSE AND

BECOME LAW.

ONE CORRESPONDENT, MATT GALKA,

HAS THAT LOOK AT HOW THE

MEASURE HAS MOVED FORWARD IN

THE SENATE SO FAR.

Reporter: A BIPARTISAN GROUP

OF LAWMAKERS MEAN THAT GUN

REFORM LEGISLATION TO BE PASSED

BY THE END OF THE WEEK, RIGHT

BEFORE CONGRESS TAKES OFF FOR

THE FOURTH OF JULY BREAK.

REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS

FINDING COMPROMISE IN THE MOST

NOTABLE GUN LEGISLATION.

IT WILL INCLUDE ENHANCED

BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR 18 TO 21-

YEAR-OLDS, ENACTING RED FLAG

LAWS, AND IMPLEMENT SCHOOL

SAFETY MEASURES.

IT STOPS DOMESTIC ABUSERS FROM

BEING ABLE TO PURCHASE A GUN,

ALTHOUGH THEY CAN GET THAT

AFTER FIVE YEARS WITH NO

CONVICTIONS.

A GUN SAFETY BILL THAT CAN

BE DESCRIBED WITH FEW WORDS,

COMMON SENSE, BIPARTISAN,

LIFESAVING.

Reporter: THE CHANGES ARE

NOT AS SWEEPING AS SOME

DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE LIKED BUT

IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO

CLEAR THE 60 VOTE THRESHOLD

OTHERWISE.

DEMOCRATS CAME OUR WAY AND

AGREED TO COMMON SENSE

SOLUTIONS.

THE RESULT IS A PRODUCT THAT WE

CAN SUPPORT.

THAT STATEMENT FROM MITCH

McCONNELL ON THE SENATE FLOOR

AS HE TRIED TO OUTLINE WHY THIS

BILL HAD REPUBLICAN SUPPORT.

IT DOES NOT SO MUCH AS TOUCH

THE RIGHTS OF THE MAJORITY OF

AMERICAN GUNOWNERS WHO ARE LAW-

ABIDING CITIZENS OF SOUND MIND.

Reporter: HOUSE DEMOCRATS

HAVE THE BOWS TO PASS IT,

ALTHOUGH IT IS UNCLEAR HOW MANY

REPUBLICANS WILL JOIN THEM.

A WHITE HOUSE REPUBLICAN WHO

SAID HE WOULD BE VOTING YES IS

TONY GONZALEZ, WHOSE DISTRICT

REPRESENTS UVALDE.

HE CITED DOMESTIC ABUSE FROM

HIS STEPFATHER AND ENDED IT,

WITH QUOTE, AS A CONGRESSMAN,

IT IS MY DUTY TO PASS LAWS THAT

NEVER INFRINGE ON THE

CONSTITUTION WHILE PROTECTING

THE LIVES OF THE INNOCENT.

I LOOK FORWARD TO VOTING YES.

THEN RA DID SLAM THE BILL,

SAYING IT DOES NOT REALLY

ADDRESS A VIOLENT CRIME.

AS FOR THE TIMELINE, THEY COULD

HAVE THE HOUSE VOTING ON THE

BILL THIS WEEKEND AFTER THE

SENATE LIKELY PASSES IT.

MATT GALKA, CBN NEWS.

GUN CONTROL HAS BEEN IN THE

HEADLINES AFTER THE TRAGIC MASS

SHOOTINGS IN BUFFALO AND

UVALDE.

INFLATION IS STILL A TOP ISSUE

FOR MOST VOTERS AND THE

PRESIDENT'S POLL NUMBERS HAVE

BEEN FALLING.

HE IS AT 33% APPROVAL IN THE

LATEST POLL AND OVER 27% OF

LIKELY VOTERS WEIGHED HIM

EXCELLENT OR GOOD ON HIS

HANDLING OF THE ECONOMY IN THE

LAST NEWS POLL.

NOW, HE WILL TAKE ON INFLATION

BY SUSPENDING THE FEDERAL TAX

ON GASOLINE FOR THREE MONTHS

AND IT IS NOT GETTING A WARM

RECEPTION FROM REPUBLICANS OR

DEMOCRATS.

DALE HURD HAS THAT STORY.

Reporter: EXPERTS SAY

ROLLING BACK THE FEDERAL GAS

TAX MIGHT NOT EVEN BE

NOTICEABLE AT THE GAS PUMP

BECAUSE OF THE FLUCTUATIONS IN

OIL PRICES.

GAS PRICES THAT WERE CLOSER TO

TWO DOLLARS A GALLON WHEN

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP LEFT

OFFICE NOW AVERAGED $4.94 A

GALLON, AND OVER SIX DOLLARS A

GALLON IN CALIFORNIA.

WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO

BECAUSE THE PRICES ARE

INCREASING EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Reporter: OIL AND GAS

EXECUTIVES WILL VISIT THE WHITE

HOUSE TODAY FOR AN EMERGENCY

MEETING WITH ENERGY SECRETARY

JENNIFER GRANHOLM.

BIDEN, WHO IS SPENT WEEKS

CRITICIZING THE OIL COMPANIES

FOR RAKING IN RECORD PROFITS,

WILL NOT ATTEND.

BRING DOWN THE PRICE YOU ARE

CHARGING AT THE PUMP TO REFLECT

THE COST YOU ARE PAYING FOR THE

PRODUCT.

DO IT NOW.

DO IT TODAY.

Reporter: BUT CONGRESS WOULD

NEED TO APPROVE THE GAS TAX

HOLIDAY AND EVEN SOME KEY

DEMOCRATS ARE NOT ON BOARD.

WELCOME I'M NOT A YES RIGHT

NOW.

Reporter: REPUBLICANS ALSO

DOUBT THE PLAN WILL PASS ON

CAPITOL HILL.

THE ADMINISTRATION, COURSE,

IS COMING UP WITH ANOTHER

GIMMICK, ANOTHER BAND-AID, AND

SOMETHING THEY KNOW IS DEAD ON

ARRIVAL UP HERE IN CONGRESS.

THE PRESIDENT KNOWS IT.

DEMOCRATS KNOW IT.

IF JOE BIDEN IS SERIOUS ABOUT

GETTING ENERGY COSTS UNDER

CONTROL, HE NEEDS TO DO THE

RIGHT THING, WHICH IS ALLOW OIL

AND GAS EXPLORATION ON FEDERAL

LANDS.

Reporter: HE HAS BLAMED THE

HIGH GASOLINE PRICES ON THE WAR

IN UKRAINE, BUT THEY BEGAN

CLIMBING QUICKLY AFTER HE TOOK

OFFICE.

AND FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIRMAN

JEROME POWELL TOLD THE SENATE

BANKING COMMITTEE THAT

INFLATION WAS ALREADY HIGH

BEFORE THE WAR.

INFLATION AND HIGH GAS PRICES

THREATEN DEMOCRATIC CONTROL OF

THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE IN

NOVEMBER.

CRITICS SAY THE REAL ANSWER TO

HIGH PRICES AT THE PUMP IS

MAKING IT EASIER TO DRILL,

SOMETHING THE WHITE HOUSE HAS

NOT BEEN WILLING TO DO.

DALE HURD, CBN NEWS.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO

SEE HOW THIS ALL PLAYS OUT IN

THE UPCOMING MIDTERMS.

LOOKING AT THIS THROUGH THAT

POLITICAL LENS.

THIS IS FRANKLY A GIMMICK TO

TRY TO DIVERT ATTENTION AWAY

FROM THEIR POLICIES, AND

WHETHER IT IS PUTIN AND THE WAR

IN UKRAINE OR TRYING TO GOUGE

CONSUMERS AT THE PUMP -- WHEN

YOU LOOK AT $.18 A GALLON AS

THE FEDERAL TAX AND JUST WHAT I

HAVE EXPERIENCED, WHERE GAS HAS

GONE FROM FOUR DOLLARS A GALLON

TO SIX DOLLARS A GALLON,

ROUGHLY $40 FOR 10 GALLONS OF

GAS AND NOW IT IS $60.

IF YOU TAKE $0.17 OFF OF THAT,

IT JUST -- YOU KNOW, OKAY.

YOU WILL TAKE A DOLLAR AND $.80

OFF THE BOOK AND IT WILL NOT

HAVE A REAL IMPACT.

IT WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE

HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR.

YOU WILL LOSE 90 DAYS OF TAX

REVENUE IN THAT IS GOING TO BE

A SIGNIFICANT HIT.

YES, IS A DEAD ON ARRIVAL IN

CONGRESS?

YES.

WILL IT MAKE AN IMPACT AT THE

PUMP?

NO.

IS HE TRYING TO WIN THE

MIDTERMS?

YES.

FROM A POLITICAL STANDPOINT,

THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THIS EVER

MAKES ANY SENSE.

> DAYS AFTER RUSSIA STARTED

BOMBING HIS COUNTRY, WELL-KNOWN

UKRAINIAN PASTOR TOOK ACTION

AND EVACUATED THOUSANDS OF

PEOPLE CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE.

FOUR MONTHS INTO THE WAR, HE IS

STILL ON THE FRONT LINES,

SERVING AS A MILITARY CHAPLAIN.

GEORGE THOMAS JOINED HIM ON A

DANGEROUS MISSION DEEP INTO THE

WAR ZONE.

Reporter: READING --

GENNADIY MOKHNENKO KNOWS HE IS

IN A RACE AGAINST TIME.

WE WILL TRY TO EVACUATE SOME

PEOPLE FROM A LITTLE CITY ON

THE FRONT LINE , DIRECTLY ON

THE FRONT LINE.

Reporter: WE JOINED

MOKHNENKO IN A MULTI-CAR CONVOY

DEEP INTO THE WAR ZONE, HERE IN

SOUTHEASTERN UKRAINE.

RIGHT NOW, THIS IS SUCH A

DANGEROS PLACE.

Reporter: SINCE THE OPENING

DAYS OF THE WAR, MOKHNENKO, A

CHAPLAIN IN UKRAINE'S MILITARY

HAS RESCUED THOUSANDS, OFTEN

TRAPPED BETWEEN UKRAINIAN AND

RUSSIAN FORCES.

EVERY TIME WHEN WE EVACUATE

PEOPLE, THERE ARE SHOOTINGS AND

EXPLOSIONS.

Reporter: THE MISSION TODAY

IS TO EVACUATE SOME 100 PEOPLE

FROM THE SMALL TOWN OF ORIKHIV,

THAT IS UNDER CONSTANT RUSSIAN

SHELLING.

JUST 40 MILES FROM THE MAJOR

CITY OF ZAPORIZHZHIA, ORIKHIV

LIES IN THE PATH OF RUSSIAN

TROOPS ADVANCING FROM THE SOUTH

AND EAST.

UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS FEAR IF

ORIKHIV FALLS, ZAPORIZHZHIA

COULD FOLLOW.

FOR NOW, THOUGH MOKHNENKO'S

MAIN CONCERN IS TO GET AS MANY

OF THOSE STRANDED OUT.

AS A CONVOY ARRIVES AT

ORIKHIV'S CITY HALL,

MOKHNENKO'S TEAM WORKS QUICKLY

TO GET FOLKS INTO VANS AND

BUSES.

THE RUSSIANS HAVE BEEN TRYING

TO GET INTO THE CITY AND

UKRAINIANS ARE PUSHING THEM

BACK ALMOST EVERY SINGLE HOUR.

THE TEAM UNLOADS FOOD, WATER,

AND OTHER ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DECIDED TO

STAY BACK.

ALL THE WHILE, ARTILLERY FIRE

CAN BE HEARD IN THE DISTANCE.

RIGHT NOW, THE FRONT LINE IS

NOT SO FAR FROM HERE.

CAN YOU HEAR IT?

THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE.

Reporter: THE MAJORITY OF

THOSE LIVING ARE WOMEN,

CHILDREN, AND THE ELDERLY.

I'M LEAVING BECAUSE IT IS

NOT SAFE HERE.

THERE ARE EXPLOSIONS ALL THE

TIME.

Reporter: ROMAN WILL STAY

AND FIGHT IF NOT FOR A FOOT

INJURY SUSTAINED DURING A

RUSSIAN SHELLING.

WHERE MY GOING TO GO WITH MY

LEG?

IF I CAN, I WOULD JOIN THE

MILITARY, BUT I MUST ESCAPE.

HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL THAT I

HAVE TO FLEE FROM MY HOMETOWN?

Reporter: THEY WILL MOVE TO

FOR NOW.

MEANWHILE, AND PART OF HIS TEAM

ARE HELPING TO DELIVER MORE AID

TO COME ACROSS AS UNDERGROUND

BUNKERS WHERE 38 ADULTS AND

SIX CHILDREN HAVE BEEN LIVING

SINCE THE WAR BEGAN.

THIS IS A NEW ADDITION TO THE

GROUP.

SHE WAS BORN IN THE BUNKER THE

DAY THE WAR STARTED.

THEY HAVE ALL NEVER LEFT THE

BUNKER.

OF COURSE, IT HAS NOT BEEN

EASY BUT WHERE ARE WE SUPPOSED

TO GO?

THERE IS CONSTANT SHOOTING AND

WE HAVE SMALL CHILDREN, SO WE

HIDE DOWN HERE.

MOKHNENKO BRINGS THEM FOOD,

WATER, AND NEW CLOTHES FOR THE

BABY.

NOT TOO FAR AWAY, FEW FAMILIES

HAVE DECIDED TO STAY PUT AND

MANY OF THEM WERE DESTROYED IN

RECENT ATTACKS AND ARE ALSO

GETTING HELP FROM MOKHNENKO.

THIS IS THE TOWN OF

HULIAIPOLE . TODAY, IT IS THE

FRONT LINE IN THE EASTERN PART

OF UKRAINE.

WHEN THE WAR STARTED BACK ON

FEBRUARY 24th, THIS BECAME SORT

OF A CONTESTED AREA . IN FACT,

TODAY, IT STILL IS.

THE UKRAINIANS ARE STILL

BATTLING FOR THIS TOWN.

Reporter: MOKHNENKO USES HIS

BOOMING VOICE AND YELLS OUT,

LETTING PEOPLE KNOW HIS TEAM

HAS ARRIVED WITH SUPPLIES AND

THAT IT IS SAFE TO COME

OUTSIDE.

MOMENTS LATER, THEY EMERGE AND

ARE HANDED BAGS WITH FOOD AND

OTHER ESSENTIAL ITEMS.

THESE PEOPLE ARE GREAT.

THEY ARE DOING IMPORTANT WORK.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I LOVE THEM ALL.

Reporter: AFTER THE AID

DISTRIBUTION, THE RUSSIANS

LAUNCH AN ARTILLERY SHELL,

HITTING NOT TOO FAR FROM THE

CONVOY AS IT MADE ITS WAY BACK

TO THE CITY.

THIS IS REALLY CRAZY.

WHEN YOU HAVE MOMENTS LIKE

THIS, YOUR HANDSHAKE.

YOUR HEART, LIKE THIS -- YEAH.

IT IS NOT EASY.

Reporter: DESPITE HUGE

RISKS, MOKHNENKO IS DOING

EXACTLY WHAT GOD WANTS HIM TO

DO AT THIS TIME.

THIS IS MY HOBBY.

THIS IS MY HOBBY -- SAVE

PEOPLE.

Reporter: GEORGE THOMAS, CBN

NEWS, EASTERN UKRAINE.

IT IS A LESSON FOR US ALL.

THIS IS MY MISSION, TO SAVE

PEOPLE.

THAT IS WHAT THAT WONDERFUL

PASTOR IS DOING AND HE HAS BEEN

DOING IT WITH HIS LIFE.

HE IS NOT NEW TO THIS.

HE IS NEW TO WORLD RELIEF BUT

HAS BEEN HELPING ORPHANS FOR

DECADES.

IT IS WONDERFUL WHAT CHRISTIANS

CAN DO IN VERY DIFFICULT

CIRCUMSTANCES.

LET IT BE AN INSPIRATION FOR

YOU, WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING.

REALIZE YOUR PURPOSE IS TO SAVE

PEOPLE.

UP NEXT, A LIFE-CHANGING

ENCOUNTER.

HE ASKED THAT HIT TEICHER FOR

DIRECTIONS.

SEE HOW THIS CAUSED HIM TO DO A

180.

> LATER, FIRST RESPONDERS

CANNOT FIND A PULSE AND SHE IS

WITHOUT OXYGEN FOR NEARLY 30

MINUTES.

SEE HOW SHE SURVIVES THIS BRUSH

WITH DEATH LATER ON TODAY'S 700

CLUB.

GRAY SAYS WHEN 2 OF THE

SLAYINGS TO BRING THE GOSPEL TO

ME TO CHANGE MY

HEART AND GRIT DONALD MY

DEFENSES AND MAKE ME EMBRACE

THE GOSPEL.

IN HIS BOOK CONFESSIONS OF A

FRENCH ATHEIST GUILLAUME

DETAILS HIS CONVERSION FROM

HOSTILE ATHEIST TO CHRISTIAN

THEOLOGIAN.

THEY'LL BE KNOWN TO JOINS US

NOW IN STUDIO AND WE WELCOME

YOU TO THE

700 CLUB IS SO NICE TO HAVE YOU

WITH US

BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE

I LAST NIGHT WAS READING YOUR

BOOK AND FOUND IT

SO FASCINATING YOUR FAMILY

IN FRANCE AS YOU WERE GROWING

UP WAS NOMINALLY CATHOLIC AND

SO YOU WENT THROUGH A LOT OF

ALL THE THE ROADS HERE AND

THERE YOU KNOW

THAT FIT THAT PARTICULAR

DENOMINATION HAS US A PART OF

THEIR FAITH BUT AT SOME POINT

ALONG THE WAY YOU ANNOUNCED

YOUR FAMILY THAT YOU ARE AN

ATHEIST WHAT WHAT

BROUGHT YOU TO THAT YOU'RE

PRETTY YOUNG WHEN

YOU MAKE THAT DECISION YEAH

ALWAYS IT IT WASN'T

A DRAMATIC THE THAT WAS EXPOSED

TO RELIGIOUS PRACTICES, BUT IT

NEVER FELT LIKE A REAL-LIFE

CONVICTIONS SO.

IT WAS JUST A NATURAL

PROGRESSION WHEN I WAS OLD

ENOUGH TO TELL MY PARENTS THAT

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS TO SAY

LET'S STOP GOING TO MASS AND

THAT'S JUST NOT EVEN IN ITS

HOUSTON.

IT WAS ANOTHER SHOCK TO JUST

SEEMED LIKE A

NATURAL DEVELOPMENT, SO IT'S

KIND OF LIKE A LOT OF THE U.S.

THE THINGS

YOU NEED TO DO, BUT NO

RELATIONSHIP IN

YOUR SAFE EXPERIENCE AS A YOUNG

PERSON, YEAH I THINK THAT'S

RIGHT THERE

WAS NO SENSE THAT THERE WAS AN

ACTUAL GOT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF

THE NEW PRAYERS

THAT WE WERE PRAYING THIS WAS

MORE CITATIONS AND JUST AS

A RIGID THAN SIMPLY

SO THAT WAS A NATURAL TO GET

OUT OF THIS AND SIMPLY SAID NO,

I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF

THIS AND I'M GOING TO LIVE MY

LIFE AS THERE IS NO GUN

INTELLECTUAL DECISION

FOR YOU LATER IN LIFE YOU GO

TO SAINT MARTIN ON VACATION TO

VISIT SOME FAMILY MEMBERS THE

HEAD HAD

MOVED THERE.

AND YOU MEET AN AMERICAN

WOMAN.

TELL US WHAT HAPPENED THERE AND

HOW MEETING HER CHALLENGE

TO A LITTLE BIT YEAH, IT WAS A

VERY STRANGE OR VERY

IMPROBABLE IT WAS A

HITCHHIKING EVENT WHERE WE HAD

TO HITCHHIKE OUT WAY BACK TO

THE APARTMENT WERE

STAYING AT.

AND THEN THIS A SMALL COLUMN

OF

AMERICAN TOURISTS STOPPED AND

THEY WERE NOT EVEN STOPPING TO

PICK US UP BUT

TO US FULL AND SO THEY TURNED

OUT TO

BE HEADED TO A HOTEL THAT WAS

NEXT DOOR TO WHERE

WE'RE STAYING.

SO WE SAID WELL WE'LL TELL

YOU WHERE IT IS YOU THE DRIVERS

THERE AND SO WE HOPPED IN AND

WE

SHE WAS ATTRACTED TO ONE OF

THEM. SHE WAS FROM NEW YORK, A

FORMER MODEL AND SO I TRIED TO

STRIKE A RELATIONSHIP AND YES

IN THE WEEKS THAT

WERE ON THE ON THE ISLAND AND

WHEN DID A

THING TOGETHER.

AND EVEN EVEN AFTERWARDS TO

MAINTAIN THE RELATIONSHIP LONG

DISTANCE, BUT IT REALLY

SET YOU OFF THAT SHE ANNOUNCED

THAT

BELIEVED IN GOD SENT BE DIDN'T

BELIEVE IN

PREMARITAL SO THAT TELLS US

WHAT WENT ON IN YOUR HEAD AFTER

ALL OF THAT ALL OF THIS WAS

EXTREMELY

PROBLEMATIC AND I THOUGHT THAT

YOU COULD PICK UP

A HE IS SO FOR ME THIS

ISN'T AN ACTUAL SUICIDE AND IT

WAS SO TO ME WHAT I HAD IN MIND

FOR MY

BUT SAID IT WAS SO EXOTIC

SO IMPROBABLE SO FUN THAT I

THOUGHT WELL STILL PURSUE THIS

AND THEN THE PROBLEMS WILL TAKE

CARE OF THEMSELVES.

BUT THIS LET THEM EAT WE NOW

CONSIDER OK. WELL, HERE'S A

COMEBACK OF RELIGION THAT I SIT

AND YOU DIDN'T WANT.

SO I FIGURED I NEED TO THINK A

LITTLE BIT ABOUT HER

RELIGIOUS FAITH AND TRY TO

ENGAGE SO THAT YOU CAN STOP AND

WE COULD BE HAPPY TOGETHER THAT

WAS THE INITIAL PLAN SHE PRETTY

MUCH ANNOUNCE

TO YOU.

FOR ME.

YOU ARE ON A COURSE OF WANTING

TO UNDERSTAND WHO GOD WAS, WHO

BELIEVE IN HIM, AND I AM GOING

TO DISPROVE THIS.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I WAS VISITING THE CHURCH IN

FRANCE.

I HAD A PRETTY STRANGE

EXPERIENCE.

I HAD SEEN WHAT I HAD NEEDED TO

SEE AND TRIED TO ESCAPE THE

CHURCH.

I OPENED THE DOOR TO FULLY.

THERE WAS -- I WAS FROZEN ON MY

WAY OUT AND I THOUGHT THIS IS

RIDICULOUS.

I HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT.

I TURNED AROUND AND INTRODUCED

MYSELF TO HER PASTOR.

THAT WAS PASTOR ROBERT.

WE STRUCK UP A RELATIONSHIP AND

WE ENDED UP CONVERSING.

I WENT TO HIS OFFICE FOR THE

NEXT FEW MONTHS AND I ADDRESSED

WHAT CHRISTIANS BELIEVE, WHAT

IS TRUE, AND I TRIED TO ENGAGE

WITH THOSE OF THE CHRISTIAN

FAITH.

ONE OF YOUR QUESTIONS WAS

WHY DID JESUS HAVE TO DIE ON

THE CROSS?

THAT REALLY ANGERED YOU.

THEY WALKED ME THROUGH THE

BASICS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH

AND IT STARTED TO MAKE SENSE.

IT WAS ADDRESSED IN MY

REFLECTIONS OF MY CONVERSATIONS

WITH HIM.

SOMEHOW, THEY SAID -- IT MADE

NO SENSE.

I DID NOT UNDERSTAND.

IT WAS PART OF MY CONVERSION

STORY.

IT WAS AN INTELLECTUAL JOURNEY

AND ALSO THE EXISTENTIAL THINGS

WERE ANSWERED BY THE GOSPEL OF

CHRIST.

IT ENDED UP BEING ANSWERED BY

GOD.

IT WAS IN WAYS I DID NOT

EXPECT.

SO PEOPLE WHO STRUGGLE WITH

FAITH, WITH THE EXISTENCE OF

GOD, FOR WHOM IT WAS PURELY

INTELLECTUAL, THEY HAVE TO AT

SOME POINT COME INTO THAT

PLACE, WHERE THE EMOTIONAL LIFE

ALSO BLENDS WITH THAT.

THAT IS A HARD BARRIER FOR A

LOT OF PEOPLE TO CROSS.

THAT IS CORRECT.

IT NEEDS TO MAKE SENSE.

THEY NEED TO GIVE COMMISSION

PERMISSION.

AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS A REAL

CONVERSION.

IT IS A TRUE CHANGE OF HEART.

THERE IS REPENTANCE FROM SIN

AND TURNING TO JESUS FOR

ETERNAL LIFE.

THAT IS NOT PURELY INTELLECTUAL.

IT IS A WORK OF THE HOLY

SPIRIT.

ALONG THE WAY, AS YOU WERE

SEEKING TO DESCRIBE THE

EXISTENCE OF GOD, THE BIBLE

CAME INTO PLAY IN YOUR LIFE.

WHAT IMPACT DID THAT HAVE?

A VERY STRONG IMPACT.

I STARTED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT

CHRISTIANITY TEACHES AND I WAS

EXPECTING THE BIBLE TO FEEL

BORING.

I REMEMBER IT FROM MY

CHILDHOOD.

I DISCOVERED JESUS WITH A VERY

FRESH EYE AND I THOUGHT THAT IT

WAS FASCINATING AND GREAT IN

CHARACTER AND THAT HE WAS VERY

INTELLIGENT.

WHEN I THINK ABOUT CHRISTIANS,

I CANNOT SAY THAT I AM TOO

SMART FOR JESUS.

HE WAS NAVIGATING TOUGH

CONVERSATIONS.

I WAS CAPTURED BY THE PERSON OF

JESUS AND IT ALSO PLAYED -- I

REALIZED I WAS DEALING WITH

HISTORICAL TESTIMONY.

THERE WAS A REAL WAY TO KNOW

WHAT HAPPENED TO JESUS.

IF WE HAVE A RELIABLE

TESTIMONY, THEN -- THERE IS A

SHIFT IN MY MIND.

TO SOMEONE WHO IS WATCHING

RIGHT NOW, WHO MAY BE

STRUGGLING WITH THE SAME THINGS

YOU DID, WONDERING IS GOD REAL

AND HOW CAN I KNOW, WHAT WOULD

YOU SAY?

I WOULD SAY, INTELLECTUALLY

SPEAKING, IT IS IMPORTANT TO

RESOLVE THE OBJECTIONS AND

QUESTIONS, ESPECIALLY IN

ENGLISH, TO DEFEND THE

RELIABILITY OF THE NEW

TESTAMENT AS A SOURCE OF

KNOWLEDGE.

TRY TO ADDRESS THE INTELLECTUAL

QUESTIONS.

AND THEN THERE IS THIS

EXISTENTIAL THING ABOUT THE

GOSPEL. HE DIED ON THE CROSS TO

PAY THE PENALTY FOR OUR SINS.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE THEM TO

RESOLVE THAT ASPECT BY REACHING

OUT AND -- THE SAME WAY I DID.

IT CHANGED MY HEART AND SHOWED

ME THE TRUTH.

IT WAS POWERFUL FOR ME.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?

I'M STILL A SOFTWARE

ENGINEERING MANAGER.

I WORK FOR A TECH COMPANY IN

CALIFORNIA AND I LIVE IN

VIRGINIA WITH MY WIFE.

I AM A PHILOSOPHER NOW.

I TEACH AT CONFERENCES.

I HAVE FIVE KIDS WITH MY WIFE.

IT IS A DIFFERENT LIFE.

THIS IS A BLESSING.

MY LIFE IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MANY YEARS

AGO.

IT IS SUCH A BLESSING.

YOUR BOOK IS FOR

INTELLECTUALS THAT HAVE

STRUGGLED WITH FAITH AND COME

TO AN UNDERSTANDING OF CHRIST

AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BELIEVE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE WHO

READ CONFESSIONS TO COME AWAY

WITH?

I WANT THEM TO HAVE A GOOD

SENSE OF THAT NOBODY IS TOO FAR

ALONG TO BE SAVED.

HE CAN SAVE THOSE THAT HATE GOD

AND RELIGION.

THEY CAN BE ENCOURAGED AND

EQUIPPED TO HAVE MEANINGFUL

CONVERSATIONS WITH THOSE THAT

ARE STRUGGLING LIKE I WAS.

THE BOOK IS VERY

CONVERSATIONAL AND VERY WELL

WRITTEN.

I WANT TO KNOW YOU CAN READ

ABOUT HIS CONVERSION IN HIS NEW

BOOK, CALLED "CONFESSIONS OF A

FRENCH ATHEIST."

IT IS AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE.

IT IS WONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU

WITH US.

> WELCOME BACK TO THE 700

CLUB FOR THIS BREAK.

PEOPLE IN AFGHANISTAN ARE

TRYING TO RECOVER FROM A DEADLY

EARTHQUAKE WEDNESDAY THAT

KILLED AT LEAST 1000 PEOPLE.

RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT THE

EASTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY

HAVE BEEN GIVING TIME TO DIG

GRAVES.

THEY HAVE BEEN DIGGING BY HALF

THE WRECKAGE OF THEIR HOMES TO

SEARCH FOR ADVISERS.

THE 6.21 QUAKE WAS

AFGHANISTAN'S DEADLIEST IN TWO

DECADES AND OFFICIALS SAY THE

DEATH TOLL COULD RISE.

AN ESTIMATED 1500 OTHERS

REPORTED INJURED.

PEOPLE IN THE REGION ARE ALSO

WITHOUT FOOD AND MILLIONS IN

AFGHANISTAN ARE ALREADY FACING

INCREASING HUNGER AND POVERTY

SINCE THE TALIBAN REACHED POWER

NEARLY 10 MONTHS AGO AFTER

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN PULLED U.S.

FORCES OUT AND ADA WITHDREW AS

WELL.

> AT HOME, A FIRE BROKE OUT

AT A BAPTIST CHURCH IN NORTH

TEXAS.

THE FLAMES QUICKLY CONSUMED THE

BUILDING.

THEY PUT OUT THE BLAZE AND IT

WAS A SIGN OF HOPE.

ALONE CROSS-ICE STOOD OUT AMONG

THE RUINS.

IT WAS MORE THAN 100 YEARS OLD.

DESPITE THE LOSS, THE CHURCH

HELD A PRAYER GATHERING.

THEY ARE CALLING FOR PRAYER

REQUESTS ON TAGS AND HANGING

THEM ON THE CROSS.

EVEN AS THIS CROSS IS STILL

HERE, I BELIEVE THEY ARE

TELLING US I AM STILL HERE WITH

YOU.

Reporter: MIRACULOUSLY, NO

ONE WAS KILLED IN THE FIRE AND

THE TEXAS CHURCH HAS RECEIVED

SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS IN

DONATIONS TO REBUILD.

THE CROSS IS NOW A SYMBOL THAT

GOD STILL ANSWERS PRAYERS.

HE MOST DEFINITELY DOES.

NIKKI AND ANDY ARE GOOD

PARENTS WHO WORK AND VOLUNTEER

AT THEIR CHURCH BUT THEIR LIVES

WERE NOT ALWAYS LIKE THIS.

BEFORE THEY MET, NIKKI AND ANDY

BATTLED DRUG ADDICTION.

DOING HEROIN IS LIKE GETTING

AS CLOSE TO DEATH AS YOU

POSSIBLY CAN WITHOUT DIETING.

EVERYTHING IS ABOUT GETTING THE

NEXT SIX AND THERE IS NOTHING

ELSE.

THERE IS NOTHING OUTSIDE OF

THAT.

I WAS HOMELESS.

I HAD A GOOD CAREER.

I HAD A WIFE AND KIDS.

NOW I WAS DOWN TO NOTHING.

THEY WENT TO A

REHABILITATION PROGRAM RUN BY

LIGHTHOUSE GOSPEL MISSION,

WHICH PARTNERS WITH OPERATION

BLESSING.

WHILE THEY WERE THERE, THEY

FOUND JESUS.

AFTER THEY GRADUATED, THEY

FOUND EACH OTHER.

TO BE MARRIED TO A MAN OF

GOD, TO BE RAISING UP THESE TWO

BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN, I NEVER

THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN

POSSIBLE.

IT WAS PURELY BY THE POWER OF

JESUS CHRIST.

Reporter: THROUGHOUT THEIR

JOURNEY, THEY RELIED ON HELP

FROM THEIR CHURCH.

WE HAD NOTHING.

WE WERE BARELY MAKING ANY

MONEY.

WE COULD BARELY SURVIVE.

WE COULD BARELY EVEN FEED

OURSELVES.

IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE FOOD WE

WERE GETTING FROM THE MINISTRY,

FROM OPERATION BLESSING, WE

WOULD NOT HAVE HAD ANYTHING TO

EAT.

IT WILL NEVER FORGET COMING

INTO THE FAITH HOME AND THE

FOOD THEY GIVE US.

IT WAS LIKE WE WERE EATING LIKE

QUEENS AND KINGS.

WOULD BRING HOME AND AWAY WE

WERE ABLE TO EAT HEALTHY AND

COOK HEALTHY MEALS, HONESTLY, I

DO NOT SEE HOW WE WOULD HAVE

MADE IT WITHOUT THE BLESSING OF

FOOD FROM OPERATION BLESSING.

AT THE CHURCH AND EVEN

VOLUNTEER THERE ON THEIR

PERSONAL TIME.

RUNS A SECURITY TO MAKE SURE

CHURCH FAMILIES ARE SAFE.

WE WANT FOR NOTHING.

WE HAVE A FULL FRIDGE EVERY

WEEK.

HOUR BILLS ARE PAID ON TIME

EVERY MONTH, WHICH, FOR ME, IS

HUGE BECAUSE THAT NEVER USED TO

HAPPEN.

THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO

GIVES TO OPERATION BLESSING.

BELLIES.

EXPERIENCING IS WHAT EVERYBODY

WHO IS BEING BLESSED BY

> STILL AHEAD, A HEART

PATIENT IS PLACED IN A COMA.

SEE WHO CAME TO VISIT HER IN

THE ICU AND FIND OUT HOW HE

SAVED HER LIFE.

> WE WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU.

DO NOT GO AWAY.

> SHE WAS TRAINING FOR A HALF

MARATHON WHEN SHE COLLAPSED.

PARAMEDICS NEEDED TO SHOCK HER

SIX TIMES TO GET ANY SIGN OF

LIFE AND SOON THEY PLACED HER

IN A COMA.

WHILE HER BODY WAS IN THE ICU,

TINA WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE, IN

HEAVEN, TALKING FACE TO FACE

WITH JESUS.

Reporter: ON FEBRUARY 12th,

BRIAN CALLED 911.

TINA WAS UNRESPONSIVE.

I HAD NEVER SEEN ANYBODY

WITH THEIR EYES ROLL BACK AND

STARTING TO TURN PURPLE.

Reporter: THEIR NEIGHBOR,

JEFF, THAT HAD STOPPED OVER FOR

A QUICK VISIT, TRIED FINDING OF

POLLS AND BEGAN CPR.

I JUST STARTED PUSHING ON

TINA, PUSHING ON HER CHEST, IN

THE MIDDLE OF HER CHEST.

HE GAVE EVERY BREATH HE HAD

TO TRY TO GIVE BACK.

I THOUGHT SHE WAS DEAD.

FIRST RESPONDERS ARRIVED TO

THE SCENE.

THEY ADMINISTERED TWO ROUNDS OF

EPINEPHRINE AND SHOCKED THROUGH

HER HEART.

IS HER HEART BEATING?

CAN YOU GET HER HEART TO BEAT?

PLEASE MAKE HER HEARTBEAT.

TINA, STILL WITHOUT A

HEARTBEAT, IS RUSHED TO A

MEDICAL CENTER AS THE

PARAMEDICS CONTINUE TRYING TO

RESUSCITATE HER.

TINA'S INJURIES INCLUDED A GASH

ON HER FOREHEAD FROM THE FALL,

A CRACKED STERNUM, AND SEVERAL

CRACKED RIBS FROM THE CPR.

WITH NO SIGN OF LIFE FOR OVER

20 MINUTES, SHE WAS RUSHED INTO

THE ER.

IN MY HEART, I KNEW SHE WAS

DEAD.

FAMILY AND FRIENDS TRICKLED

INTO THE WAITING ROOM TO PRAY

AND BE WITH BRIAN.

I WAS DESPERATE.

MEANWHILE, TINA'S SISTER,

TAMMY, AND HER HUSBAND, DAVE,

RUSHED ACROSS THE DESERT.

I GOT A TEXT ON MY PHONE.

Reporter: IT WAS FROM BRIAN.

"TINA IS ALIVE."

THE DOCTOR EXPLAINED.

WE DEFIBRILLATED HER ONE

MORE TIME IN THE ER AND SHE

CAME BACK.

BUT THERE WAS PROBABLY 27 TO 28

MINUTES WITH LIMITED OR NO

OXYGEN.

WE ARE GOING TO INDUCE A COMA

TO ALLOW HER BODY TO RELAX

WHILE WE ARE DOING ALL THESE

TESTS TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT

HAPPENED.

THE DOCTOR CONTINUED TO

EXPLAIN.

MOST PEOPLE DO NOT SURVIVE

AFTER FIVE TO 10 MINUTES OF

BEING WITHOUT OXYGEN TO THE

BRAIN.

IF TINA PULLED THROUGH, SHE

WOULD MOST LIKELY HAVE BRAIN

INJURIES THAT COULD LEAVE HER

WITH A MAJOR BRAIN HANDICAP.

REELING FROM HIS WIFE'S

POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS, BRIAN

STEPPED INTO TINA'S ICU ROOM

FOR THE FIRST TIME.

SHE IS VENTED AND THE THING

IS RAVING FOR HER.

SHE HAS ALL THESE TUBES.

YOUR EYES GO TO THAT MONITOR,

WATCHING THE HEART RATE THING,

THE CHARGE, AND HEARING THE

BEEPING AND SEEING THE NUMBERS.

IT WAS CRAZY, BUT I HAD TO BE

HAPPY, TOO, THAT AT LEAST SHE

IS STILL ALIVE.

Reporter: MEANWHILE, IN THE

ICU WAITING ROOM WAS FILLED

WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS CRYING

OUT TO GOD FOR TINA, INCLUDING

DAVE AND TAMMY.

WE WERE PRAYING THE WHOLE

TIME.

Reporter: WHEN HER SIGNS

WERE BACK TO NORMAL, HER

DOCTORS NEEDED TO DETERMINE IF

SHE COULD BREATHE ON HER OWN.

THEY DECIDED TO TAKE HER OFF

THE VENTILATOR.

BRIAN WHISPERED IN HIS WIFE'S

EAR.

THE DOCTOR NEEDS TO KNOW

THAT YOU CAN BREATHE ON YOUR

OWN.

I TOLD HIM THAT YOU ARE

SUPERWOMAN.

CAN YOU SHOW HIM THAT YOU CAN

BREATHE ON YOUR OWN?

HER CHEST WENT -- WHEN I LOOKED

BACK AT THE DOCTOR, HE GOES,

THAT WILL WORK.

SHE WAS ABLE TO BREATHE ON

HER OWN.

ONCE SHE WAS FULLY CONSCIOUS,

DAVE PLACED A PEN IN HER HAND

AND HELD A NOTEBOOK FOR HER.

SHE STARTED MAKING MARKS.

I COULD NOT TELL WHAT IT WAS.

I WAS ALMOST SHAKING.

I JUST HELD THE BOOK STUDY AND

SHE WROTE I-T-S-R-E-A-L. I SAID

WHAT ISRAEL?

THE PAIN?

THE HOSPITAL?

SHE IS NODDING HER HEAD.

SHE GOES, NO -- MY DAUGHTER

GOES, HEAVEN?

SHE NODS, YES.

AS SOON AS SOMEONE SAID JESUS,

A PEACE CAME ACROSS HER.

THE DOCTOR WARNED SHE MIGHT

NOT BE ABLE TO SPEAK FOR A

WHILE.

HOWEVER -- TINA HAD A LOT TO

SAY IMMEDIATELY.

I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT

I SAW JESUS FACE TO FACE AND

THE UNBELIEVABLE REST AND

PEACEFULNESS OF WHAT I WAS

EXPERIENCING WAS JESUS STANDING

THERE WITH HIS ARMS OPEN WIDE,

AND RIGHT BEHIND JESUS STANDING

THERE WAS THIS INCREDIBLE GLOW.

IT WAS THE MOST VIBRANT AND

BEAUTIFUL YELLOW.

WITH HER CRACKED STERNUM AND

RIBS ON THE MEND, TINA WAS

DISCHARGED ON FEBRUARY 16th,

JUST FOUR DAYS AFTER SUFFERING

CARDIAC ARREST.

SHE HAD NO BRAIN IMPAIRMENTS.

TODAY, SHE IS TRAINING FOR A

HALF MARATHON AND ENJOYS LIFE.

GOD IS REAL IN MY LIFE.

JESUS IS REAL.

HEAVEN IS REAL.

I KNOW GOD CAN USE EVERY

SITUATION TO MAKE US WHO WE ARE

IN CHRIST.

IT IS REAL.

THAT IS THE MESSAGE OF PEOPLE

THAT HAVE BEEN THERE AND COME

BACK.

THEY SAY IT IS REAL.

OUR GUEST TODAY -- HE HAD AN

ENCOUNTER WITH A LIVING GOD AND

HIS ADVICE TO ALL PEOPLE, YOU

NEED TO HAVE THAT.

PRAY.

ASK GOD.

CAN YOU SHOW THAT FOR ME?

YOU SHOWED IT FOR THAT FRENCH

ATHEIST.

CAN YOU SHOW UP FOR ME?

WHEN YOU HAVE THAT ATTITUDE,

THAT I NEED THE REVELATION AND

WHEN YOU GET THE REVELATION,

YOU ARE CHANGED, NOT JUST HERE

AND NOW, BUT FOR ALL ETERNITY.

YOU HAVE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

OUTLOOK ON LIFE.

YOU ARE ABLE TO DECLARE TO

OTHERS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

CAN DRAW UNITY.

YOU CAN SEE IT.

YOU CAN HAVE A SAVIOR THAT YOU

KNOW.

IT IS NOT SOME FAR OFF THING,

BUT HE IS RIGHT THERE WITH YOU.

THAT IS THE PROMISE OF THE

SAVIOR.

THAT IS THE PROMISE OF THE

MESSIAH.

HE IS GOD WITH US.

HE IS NOT SOME FAR AWAY GOD,

NOT SOME GOD THAT DOES GOOD

THINGS AND SOMEHOW COMES INTO

HIS PRESENCE -- A GOD THAT

LEAVES HEAVEN AND COMES TO YOU.

THEN HE BRINGS HEAVEN TO YOU.

HE TELLS EVERYONE, TELLS ALL OF

HIS DISCIPLES, HERE IS WHAT I

WANT YOU TO PREACH -- THE

KINGDOM OF HEAVEN HAS DRAWN

NEAR TO YOU.

ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL?

IT IS THE BEST NEWS ANYONE HAS

EVER HEARD.

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HEAVEN,

AND YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT WILL

HAPPEN IN HEAVEN, THINK THIS

THOUGHT.

IS THERE ANY DISEASE THERE?

IS THERE ANYBODY IN PAIN?

IS ANYONE HAVING A HEART

ATTACK?

DOES ANYBODY HAVE CANCER?

IS THERE ANY KIND OF INFIRMITY?

THE ANSWER IS, NO.

IN HEAVEN, THAT JUST DOES NOT

HAPPEN.

I LIKE TO SAY, THAT IS ILLEGAL

IN HEAVEN.

GOD JUST DOES NOT ALLOW IT.

IN HEAVEN, GOD'S WILL IS BEING

DONE.

HIS LAW IS BEING OBSERVED.

HIS DOMINION IS HAPPENING NOW.

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO PRAY THE

KINGDOM OF HEAVEN WILL DRAW

NEAR.

WE ARE SUPPOSED TO PRAY THY

KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE

ON EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.

WE GET THIS WONDERFUL PRIVILEGE

OF ACCESSING THAT DOMINION,

THAT LAW, RIGHT HERE ON EARTH.

WHEN YOU SEE IT, WHEN YOU

APPROPRIATE IT AND SAY, CAN I

HAVE IT NOW?

IT IS WONDERFUL THAT -- I AM

LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT, BUT

WHAT WOULD BE NICE IS IF IT

WERE RIGHT NOW.

YOU GET TO PRAY THAT.

YOU GET TO BELIEVE THAT.

YOU GET TO APPROPRIATE IT.

YOU GET TO HAVE IT.

YOU CAN HAVE THESE EXPERIENCES.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK FOR

IT.

THEN HAVING ASKED, BELIEVE THAT

YOU HAVE RECEIVED AND YOU WILL

HAVE IT.

THESE ARE THE WORDS OF JESUS.

WHEN YOU READ THEM AND BELIEVE

THEM, THEN YOU GET THE SAME

RESULT.

BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED

AND YOU WILL HAVE IT.

SO, WHEN YOU ARE HEALED, THAT

IS A GREAT QUESTION.

YOU ARE HEALED 2000 YEARS AGO

ON THE CROSS.

BY HIS STRIPES, WE WERE HEALED

AND ARE HEALED.

THE BIBLE USES BOTH VERB

TENSES.

WE WERE AND ARE HEALED.

WHEN YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE

WHAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED, THEN

YOU HAVE IT.

NOW, WE ARE GOING TO PRAY FOR

YOU.

BEFORE WE PRAY, WE HAVE SOME

OTHER TESTIMONIES AND THAT IS

WHAT THEY DO.

THEY ENCOURAGE FAITH.

THEY IN GET YOU TO BELIEVE WHAT

HAPPENED TO A FRENCH ATHEIST

CAN HAPPEN TO YOU.

WHAT HAPPENED TO CHRISTINA CAN

HAPPEN TO YOU.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THESE OTHER

TESTIMONIES, THEY CAN HAPPEN TO

YOU.

SHE HAD UNCONTROLLABLE EYE AND

FACIAL MOVEMENTS AND IT WAS

CHALLENGING.

APRIL 20th, THEY SAID THERE IS

A WOMAN.

SOMETIMES OR I CAN TWITCH.

IT IS WORSE THAN THAT.

IT TWITCHES CONSTANTLY AND

NOTICEABLY ALL THE TIME AND IT

MAKES IT VERY AWKWARD TO LOOK

AT PEOPLE IN THE EYE.

GOD IS HEALING THAT FOR YOU

RIGHT NOW.

JUST RECEIVE IT.

WELL, WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, THEY

REALIZE ALL THE TWITCHING HAD

DISAPPEARED AND SHE WAS HEALED.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT

SANDRA.

SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THIS

DISEASE.

SHE BELIEVED IT WAS JUST A

MATTER OF TIME BEFORE HER

HEALING WOULD MANIFEST WHILE

WATCHING THE 700 CLUB, YOU SAID

THIS.

DEAR SOMEONE, YOU ARE SUFFERING

WITH THIS DISEASE, AND IT IS A

PAINFUL KNOT IN YOUR

INTESTINES.

GOD IS HEALING YOU RIGHT NOW.

HE IS UNWINDING ALL OF THAT.

EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE

NORMAL NOW.

SHE REPORTED HER SYMPTOMS WERE

GONE.

PRAISE GOD.

LET'S PRAY.

LET'S ASK FOR THE KINGDOM OF

HEAVEN TO DRAW NEAR TO YOU AND

LET'S COMMAND, WITH HIS

AUTHORITY, ANYTHING THAT IS NOT

OF HIS WILL TO LEAVE YOU RIGHT

NOW.

LET'S PRAY.

LORD, WE JUST COME TO YOU

REJOICING, THAT YOU MADE IT

POSSIBLE FOR US TO EVEN COME

INTO YOUR PRESENCE, COMING

RIGHT INTO GRACE.

WE ASK NOW THAT YOUR DOMINION

BE EXTENDED TO OUR BODIES, THAT

YOUR KINGDOM WILL COME AND YOUR

WILL WILL BE DONE IN OUR

BODIES.

WE SEE HEAVEN.

WE SEE IT IS REAL AND WE ASK

FOR IT TO BE REAL RIGHT NOW IN

US.

STRETCH FORTH YOUR HAND TO DO

SIGNS, WONDERS, AND MIRACLES.

LET YOUR POWER RESIDE.

LET THE SAME RESURRECTION AND

POWER THAT ROSE JESUS FROM THE

DEAD REUNITE US.

WE ASK IT NOW.

NOW, WITHOUT AUTHORITY -- WITH

AUTHORITY, WE COMMAND ALL

DISEASE, ALL INFIRMITY, ALL

PAIN, TO LEAVE US NOW, BY THE

STRIPES OF JESUS CHRIST,I AM

HEALED.

I RECEIVED IT IN JESUS' NAME.

THERE IS SOMEONE WHO HAS

SOME KIND OF MUSCULAR ISSUE.

IT IS DEGENERATIVE AND IT HAS

REALLY CHANGED YOUR LIFE.

GOD IS HEALING THAT FOR YOU

RIGHT NOW IN JESUS' NAME.

JUST LIFT UP YOUR HANDS AND

BEGIN TO THANK HIM BEFORE YOU

EVEN SEE A CHANGE.

HE HAS HEALED YOU.

> SOMEONE, YOU HAVE -- IT IS

LIKE YOU FEEL -- IT IS ALMOST

LIKE A HAND SQUEEZING YOUR

HEART.

GOD IS HEALING YOU RIGHT NOW,

RESTORING ALL THE CIRCULATION

TO EVERY VEIN, EVERY ARTERY,

SURROUNDING THAT HEART.

LET PEACE COME UPON THAT

MUSCLE.

ANYTHING THAT HAS BEEN DAMAGED,

BE HEALED NOW IN JESUS' NAME.

BE MADE WHOLE.

HEARTS WERE MADE TO BEAT AND

BEAT IN RHYTHM AND BEAT

NORMALLY.

IN JESUS' NAME, BE HEALED.

BE MADE WHOLE.

SOMEONE CANNOT DIGEST FOOD

PROPERLY.

DOCTORS ARE TRYING TO FIND OUT

WHAT THE ISSUE IS, IF THERE IS

AN ALLERGY, BUT IN THE MEANTIME

YOU CAN EAT ALMOST NOTHING.

GOD IS HEALING THAT FOR YOU

RIGHT NOW.

THAT INTENSE BURNING, THAT ACHE

THAT FEELS LIKE A NEEDLE IN THE

MIDDLE OF YOUR ABDOMEN, IS

GONE.

IT IS ALL GONE.

YOU HAVE BEEN HEALED IN JESUS'

NAME.

YOU HAVE A RARE CONDITION

AND YOUR NERVES ARE

DETERIORATING.

YOU HAVE TINGLING AND NUMBNESS

AND PHANTOM PAIN.

ALL OF THAT IS BEING HEALED.

YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM IS BEING

RESTORED NOW, IN JESUS' NAME.

RECEIVED IT.

PRAISE HIM FOR IT, AMEN AND

AMEN.

WE ARE HERE FOR YOU IF YOU NEED

PRAYER.

HERE IS A WORD FROM

DEUTERONOMY.

SO, REMEMBER THIS AND KEEP IT

FIRMLY IN MIND.

THE LORD IS GOD BOTH IN HEAVEN

AND ON EARTH, THERE IS NO
