> WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

AN ACTION PLAN.

THAT IS WHAT THE WIDE EP

ADMINISTRATION HAS LAUNCHED IN

RESPONSE TO THE SUPREME COURT'S

DECISION OVERTURNING ROE V.

WADE.

AT THE TOP OF THE LIST,

INCREASED ACCESS TO THE

ABORTION PILL, IN STATES WHERE

ABORTION IS NOW OUTLAWED.

THE DANGEROUS SIDE EFFECTS

FROM THIS PILL ARE RARELY

REPORTED.

STILL THE RISKS ARE VERY REAL.

MEDICAL REPORTER LAURA JOHNSON

EXPLAINS.

Reporter: CALLING THE

SUPREME COURT DECISION

DESPICABLE, HEALTH AND HUMAN

SERVICES SECRETARY IS VOWING TO

USE HIS POWER TO KEEPING ALL

OPTIONS ON THE TABLE.

ONE MOVE IS ORDERING FEDERAL

HEALTH AGENCIES TO PROVIDE THE

PILL IF THE MOTHER'S LIFE IS IN

DANGER, OR IN CASES OF RAPE OR

INCEST, EVEN IN STATES OUT LOG

IT.

MEDICATION ABORTION HAS BEEN

APPROVED BY THE FDA FOR YEARS

AND IS SAFE FOR PATIENTS.

Reporter: HE ECHOED EARLIER

COMMENTS FROM BIDEN

ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS VOWING

TO MAKE THE ABORTION PILL MORE

AVAILABLE, BUT STOPPIN SHORT

OF PROVIDING DETAILS ABOUT

DOING THAT IN STATES WHERE IT

IS PROHIBITED.

TONY MCFADDEN TOOK THE

MEDICATION, WHICH IS ACTUALLY A

TWO PILL PRESCRIPTION, THE

FIRST BLOCKS THE HORMONE

PROGESTERONE, NECESSARY TO KEEP

THE BABY ALIVE, FOLLOWED BY A

COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, THAT

CAUSES THE UTERUS TO CONTRACT,

FORCING THE BABY OUT.

I DO JUST REMEMBER LOOKING

DOWN IN THE TOILET AND BEING

JUST?

SHOCK.

Reporter: EXCRUCIATING

PHYSICAL PAIN BEGAN TWO MONTHS

LATER.

AND I WENT INTO THE BATHROOM

AND THERE WERE BLOOD CLOTS THE

SIZE OF MY FIST LEAVING MY

BODY.

Reporter: TWO YEARS LATER A

DOCTOR'S VISIT REVEALED MORE

DAMAGE.

THE NURSE ASKED ME IF I HAD

AN ABORTION BEFORE.

AND I SAID YES AND I SAID WHY

DID YOU ASK ME THAT?

AND SHE SAID BECAUSE YOU HAVE

SCAR TISSUE.

Reporter: COMPLICATIONS LIKE

TONY'S ARE OFTEN NEVER

REPORTED.

AS MANY AS 90% OF ALL

ABORTION PILL COMPLICATIONS ARE

NOT REFLECTED IN THE FDA DATA.

THEY DON'T EACH COLLECT THOSE

ANY MORE.

THEY ONLY REQUIRE ON REPORTING

DEATHS THE FDA APPROVED IT IN

2000 AND JUST LAST YEAR DROPPED

THE REQUIREMENT THAT DOCTORS

SEE PATIENTS IN PERSON BEFORE

PRESCRIBING IT.

CHEMICAL ABORTIONS WERE 50%

MORE LIKELY TO SEND SOMEONE TO

THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR AN

ABORTION RELATED COMPLICATION.

Reporter: ABORTION ADVOCATES

ADVISED WOMEN NOT TO DISCLOSE

THEY TOOK THE ABORTION PILL IF

THEY HAVE COMPLICATIONS IT, AND

INSTEAD JUST TELL DOCTORS THEY

ARE HAVING A MISCARRIAGE.

INCOMPLETE ABORTION, WHERE

PIECES OF BABY OR PIECES OF THE

OTHER PREGNANCY TISSUE ARE REST

INSIDE THE WOMAN'S UTERUS, THIS

IS A FREQUENT COMPLICATION WITH

CHEMICAL ABORTION.

THAT IS WHY WE SAW SUCH A LARGE

NUMBER OF WOMEN NEEDING

HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS TO HAVE

SURGERIES TO FINISH THE

ABORTIONS.

Reporter: PRO LIVE ATTORNEYS

HOPE TO STOP PROVIDERS IN

STATES WHERE ABORTION IS LEGAL

FROM PRESCRIBING AND MAILING

PILLS TO PEOPLE IN STATES WHERE

IT IS NOT.

WHEN YOU ARE SEEING THERE IS

AN INTERSTATE CONFLICT, WE ARE

GOING TO HAVE TO GO BACK AND

SEE TO WHAT EXTENT CAN WE

PROTECT LIFE THERE.

FOR MOST OF THE LEGISLATION

ACROSS THE PRO LIFE BOARD, WE

NEVER CRIMINALIZE THE WOMAN.

Reporter: INSTEAD THEY WOULD

PURSUE ACTION AGAINST THE

DOCTORS.

THAT STILL DOESN'T PREVENT

FOREIGN DOCTORS FROM

PRESCRIBING THE ABORTION PILL

ONLINE TO WOMEN IN THE U.S.

I WILL REVIEW HER CASE AND

SEND MY PRESCRIPTION TO HER AND

TO A PHARMACY IN INDIA THAT CAN

FILL MY PRESCRIPTION AND THEN

IT SENDS IT FROM INDIA.

I AM ACTING ACCORDING TO THE

MEDICAL ETHICAL GUIDELINES AND

THE LAWS.

Reporter: THE FDA ASKED

FOREIGN DOCTORS TO STOP THIS

PRACTICE AND ADVISES AMERICANS

TO AVOID TAKING ABORTION PILLS

FROM OTHER COUNTRIES.

LAURIE JOHNSON, CBN NEWS.

> I WOULD LOVE A CULTURE THAT

CELEBRATED LIFE, THAT

CELEBRATED PREGNANCY, THAT

HELPED WOMEN HAVE CHILDREN.

WOULDN'T THAT BE WONDERFUL?

THEY ARE OUR FUTURE.

AND WHEN YOU ARE KILLING OFF

YOUR FUTURE, AND YOU ARE

ENCOURAGING THIS CULTURE OF

DEATH, I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND

WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE WE TRYING

TO DO?

BY ALL MEANS, LET US HELP

WOMEN.

LET US HELP THEM HAVE BABIES.

LET US CELEBRATE THAT.

IT IS A TREMENDOUS CELEBRATION

OF LIFE AND A CELEBRATION OF

THE NEXT GENERATION.

> IN OTHER NEWS, DRAMATIC

TESTIMONY BY A FORMER WHITE

HOUSE STAFFER ABOUT TRUMP'S

ACTIONS ON JANUARY 6 IS COMING

UNDER QUESTION.

JOHN JESSUP HAS MORE FROM OUR

CBN NEWS BUREAU IN WASHINGTON.

JOHN?

Reporter: THANKS, GORDON.

THE FORMER TOP WHITE HOUSE AIDE

GAVE SHOCKING TESTIMONY ABOUT

THE PRESIDENT'S ACTIONS ON

JANUARY 6. NOW THERE ARE

REPORTS SOME SECRET SERVICE

AGENTS ARE PREPARED TO DISPUTE

PARTS OF HER STORY.

CHARLENE AARON HAS DETAILS.

Reporter: IN TESTIMONY

BEFORE THE JANUARY 6 HOUSE

SELECT COMMITTEE, CASSIDY

HUTCHINSON REVEALED THE FORMER

PRESIDENT HAD NO ISSUES WITH

HIS SUPPORTERS COMING TO THE

JANUARY 6 RALLY WITH WEAPONS.

AND TESTIFIED THAT THE

PRESIDENT GOT IT'LL WHEN SECRET

SERVICE AGENTS WOULDN'T DRIVE

HIM TO THE CAPITAL.

HUTCHINSON, A TOP AIDE TO

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S CHIEF OF

STAFF MARK MEADOWS, SAID SHE

HEARD THE FORMER PRESIDENT TELL

SECURITY OFFICERS AT THE RALLY

TO ALLOW ARMED SUPPORTERS PAST

CHECKPOINTS TO MAKE FOR A

LARGER PROUD.

I WAS IN THE VICINITY OF A

CONVERSATION WHERE I OVERHEARD

THE PRESIDENT SAY SOMETHING TO

THE EFFECT OF I DON'T FING CARE

THEY HAVE WEAPONS, TAKE THE

BAGS AWAY.

Reporter: THE COMMITTEE

PLAYED POLICE RADIO TRAFFIC

FROM THAT MORNING.

THEY HAD GLOCK TILE PISTOLS

IN THEIR WAIST BANDS.

Reporter: THE FORMER WHITE

HOUSE AIDE SAID SHE WAS TOLD

TRUMP WAS ANGRY WHEN SECRET

SERVICE AGENTS TOLD HIM THEY

WERE NOT GOING TO DRIVE HIM TO

THE CAPITOL AND THINGS GOT

PHYSICAL.

THE PRESIDENT SAID SOMETHING

TO THE EFFECT OF I'M THE F-ING

PRESIDENT.

TAKE ME TO THE CAPITOL NOW.

HE GRABBED AT THE STEELER

WHEEL.

MR.ENING GEL GRABBED HIS ARM

AND SAID SIR, YOU NEED TO TAKE

YOUR HAND OFF THE STEERING

WHEEL.

WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE WEST

WING.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO THE

CAPITOL.

Reporter: THE FORMER

PRESIDENT DISPUTED THE CLAIMS.

NEVER COMPLAINED ABOUT THE

CROWD.

IT WAS MASSIVE.

I DIDN'T WANT OR REQUEST THAT

WE MAKE ROOM FOR PEOPLE WITH

GUNS TO WATCH MY SPEECH.

WHO WOULD EVER WANT THAT?

NOT ME.

ALL DEBUNKING HER ACCOUNT OF

LUNGING FOR THE STEERING WHEEL.

HER FAKE STORY I TRIED TO GRAB

THE STEERING WHEEL OF THE WHITE

HOUSE LIMOUSINE IS SICK AND

FRAUDULENT.

I HARDLY KNEW WHO SHE WAS.

MULTIPLE MEDIA OUTLETS SAY THE

SECRET SERVICE IS READY TO

DISPUTE HUTCHINSON'S CLAIMS OF

GRABBING THE WHEEL AND

ASSAULTING AN AGENT.

THE STATEMENT SAYS THE UNITED

STATES SECRET SERVICE HAS BEEN

COOPERATING WITH THE SELECT

COMMITTEE SINCE SPRING OF 2021

AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO,

INCLUDING BY RESPONDING ON THE

RECORD TO THE COMMITTEE

REGARDING THE NEW ALLEGATIONS

SURFACED IN TODAY'S TESTIMONY.

THE COMMITTEE'S STAR WITNESS

ALSO HIGHLIGHTING THE WHITE

HOUSE COUNSEL TRIED TO GET

MEADOWS TO ENCOURAGE TRUMP TO

CALL OFF PROTESTERS OVER

THREATS TOWARD VICE PRESIDENT

MIKE PENCE.

I REMEMBER PAT SAYING

SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF MARK

WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING MORE.

THEY ARE LITERALLY CALLING FOR

THE VICE PRESIDENT TO BE F-ING

HUNG.

AND MARK RESPONDED SOMETHING TO

THE EFFECT HE THINKS MIKE

DESERVES IT.

HE DONE THINK THEY ARE DOING

ANYTHING WRONG.

Reporter: MEANWHILE CASSIDY

HUTCHINSON REVEALED BOTH SOUGHT

PRESIDENTIAL PARDONS RELATED TO

THE JANUARY 6 ATTACK.

> THANKS, CHARLENE.

TURNING NOW TO THE NATO SUMMIT

IN MADRID WHERE TURKEY

DELIVERED A BLOW TO RUSSIA BY

DROPPING ITS OBJECTIONS TO

FINLAND AND SWEDEN JOINING THE

ALLIANCE.

THE TWO NATIONS APPLIED FOR

NATO MEMBERSHIP IN MAY IN

RESPONSE TO THE INVASION OF

UKRAINE.

THE CHIEF OF TRANSATLANTIC

ALLIANCE SAID HE IS CONFIDENT

SWEDEN AND FINLAND WILL BE

APPROVED.

NATO IS EXPECTED TO ANNOUNCE

NEW STEPS IN HARDENING DEFENSES

AGAINST RUSSIA INCLUDING

INCREASING THE NUMBER OF TROOPS

ON HIGH ALERT TO 300,000.

> HERE IN WASHINGTON D.C. A

SUMMIT IS TAKING PLACE TO

HIGHLIGHT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

WORLDWIDE AND BRING ATTENTION

TO THOSE PERSECUTED FOR THEIR

FAITH.

THE AM INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS

FREEDOM SUMMIT BRINGS TOGETHER

POLL TWICE DON'T USUALLY AGREE,

INCLUDING HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY

PELOSI, AND REPUBLICAN SENATOR

MARCO RUBIO.

THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT DRAWS

PEOPLE TOGETHER.

Reporter: YOU HAVE LITERALLY

BILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THE

WORLD, LIVING IN AN ENVIRONMENT

WHERE THEIR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

IS RESTRICTED, IS HARMED.

WHERE THERE ARE ATTACKS TAKING

PLACE LIKE IN NIGERIA WHERE 41

PEOPLE WERE GUNNED DOWN.

I THINK IT IS THE PERVASIVENESS

OF THE PERSECUTION, ALONG WITH

THE PERVASIVENESS OF FAITH.

80% OF THE POPULATION BELIEVES

IN SOMETHING BEYOND THEMSELVES.

THEY HAVE A FAITH THAT OPERATES

IN THEIR LIVES AND THE

COMBINATION OF THOSE TWO DRAWS

PEOPLE TOGETHER TO STAN FOR

PEOPLE THAT ARE PERSECUTED.

AND THE SUMMIT BEGINS TODAY

AND WE NEED TO STAND WITH THOSE

SUFFERING FOR THEIR FAITH.

THIS IS SOME OF THE GREATEST

PERSECUTION THE CHURCH HAS EVER

SEEN.

I MEAN LITERALLY GOING BACK TO

THE ROMAN EMPIRE.

SO WHETHER IT IS IN INDIA OR IT

IS IN CHINA OR IT IS IN NORTH

KOREA, OR IT IS THROUGHOUT THE

MIDDLE EAST, WE NEED TO STAND

WITH THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING

BECAUSE OF THEIR FAITH.

ASHLEY IN.

TO REIGNING IN GOVERNMENT, MEET

THE HEARTLAND GOVERNOR WHO IS

COMFORTABLE DOING BOTH.

SOUTH DAKOTA'S KRISTI NOEM

TELLS US HOW A FARMING ACCIDENT

PROMPTED HER TO RUN FOR OFFICE

AND SHE IS BRINGING LESSONS

FROM THE RANCH INTO THE

GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.

TUNE AND INTO THEIR TOOLBOX.

THESE HARDWORKING MEN ARE VIRAL

SENSATIONS WHO HAVE GOTTEN OVER

1 MILLION HITS ON YOUTUBE.

THE SINGING CONTRACTORS WILL

JOIN US, SO STAY WITH US.

.

> IN RECENT YEARS, SOUTH

DAKOTA'S GOVERNOR HAS EMERGED

AS A POLITICAL ROCK STAR IN

CONSERVATIVE CIRCLES.

KRISTI NOEM CREDITS HER SUCCESS

TO LESSONS SHE LEARNED FROM HER

FATHER, GROWING UP ON THE

FAMILY FARM.

SHE TALKED ABOUT IT ALL IN HER

BOOK NOT MY FIRST RODEO.

LESSONS FROM THE HEARTLAND.

CBN'S WENDY GRIFFITH REPORTS

FROM SOUTH DAKOTA.

Reporter: SOUTH DAKOTA

GOVERNOR KRISTI NOEM STEPS

OUTLOOKING LIKE THE PICTURE

PERFECT COWGIRL.

BUT THIS ISN'T A COSTUME.

THIS IS WHO SHE IS.

WE LIVE ON THE RANCH.

THE ONE THAT MY DAD BOUGHT WHEN

I WAS ABOUT 12 OR 13.

I LOVE TO CHASE COWS AND SIT IN

TREE STANDS HUNTING.

SO YOU KNOW, FOR ME TO BE IN A

CITY AT RECEPTIONS AND DINNERS

IN CROWDED HOUSE FLOORS VOTING

WAS A CHALLENGE.

Reporter: IN HER NEW BOX,

NOT MY FIRST RODEO, LESSONS

FROM THE HEARTLAND, SHE DIVES

INTO HER CHILDHOOD, WORKING ON

THE FAMILY FARM AND GOING TO

CHURCH WITH HER PARENTS AND

SIBLINGS WHENEVER THE DOORS

WERE OPE.

I THOUGHT YOU KNOW YOU READ

SCRIPTURE, YOU THINK GOSH GOD

LOVES FARMERS MORE THAN ANYBODY

ELSE.

HE LOVES RANCHERS MORE THAN

ANYBODY ELSE.

WHEN HE IS TALKING ABOUT YOUR

BARNES ARE OVERFLOWING AND

CATTLE ON 1000 HILLS.

YOU KNOW FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES,

YOU JUST ASSUMED THIS WAY OF

LIFE IS SOMETHING THAT GOD

WOULD WANT EVERYBODY TO BE ABLE

TO LIVE.

Reporter: THEN THE

UNIMAGINABLE HAPPENED.

AT JUST 49, HER FATHER RON DIED

IN A TRAGIC FARM ACCIDENT WHILE

SHE WAS AWAY AT COLLEGE.

WHEN DAD PASSED AWAY, IT WAS

DEVASTATING FOR OUR ENTIRE

FAMILY.

FOR ME IN PARTICULAR, HE WAS MY

BEST FRIEND.

HE WAS THE PERSON I ADMIRED THE

MOST, THE ONE WHO I CARED THE

MOST WHAT HE THOUGHT OF ME.

AND HAD PLANNED MY ENTIRE LIFE

JUST TO GROW UP AND TO WORK

WITH HIM AND BE IN BUSINESS

WITH HIM.

SO WHEN HE DIED I COULDN'T EVEN

IMAGINE WHAT THE NEXT DAY WOULD

LOOK LIKE.

Reporter: BY NOW SHE WAS

MARRIED TO HER HUSBAND, BRIAN,

AND THEY WERE EIGHT MONTHS

PREGNANT WITH THEIR FIRST

DAUGHTER.

NOEM LEFT COLLEGE TO GO HOME

AND KEEP THE FARM GOING.

SO I PROBABLY WASN'T THE

BEST MOTHER AT THAT TIME.

ALL I KNEW TO DO WAS DO WHAT MY

DAD WOULD HAVE DONE, AND THAT

WAS WORK AND TAKE CARE OF

BUSINESS.

BUT THANKFULLY, WE HAD A STRONG

FAMILY, AND MY MOM WAS

INCREDIBLE IN TEACHING ME HOW

TO BE A GOOD MOM, TOO.

Reporter: NOEM SAYS LESSONS

LEARNED FROM HER DAD ARE STILL

WITH HER.

WE DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT

THINGS, WE FIX THEM.

Reporter: IT WAS THOSE WORDS

THAT COMPELLED HER TO ENTER

POLITICS AND TRY TO FIX WHAT

SHE CONSIDERED THE MOST UNFAIR

TAX THAT NEARLY BANKRUPTED HER

FAMILY'S FARM AFTER HER FATHER

PASSED.

SO-CALLED DEATH TAX.

IT TOOK ME 10 YEARS TO PAY

OFF THOSE TAXES.

AND IT MADE ME ANGRY.

I STARTED SHOWING UP AT

MEETINGS.

I FELT IF I WAS UPSET BY THIS

LAW THAT WAS ON THE BOOKS, I

NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT

IT.

Reporter: AFTER SEVERAL

YEARS IN SOUTH DAKOTA'S STATE

LEGISLATURE, NOEM FELT GOD

NUDGING HER TOWARD WASHINGTON.

SHE WON A SEAT IN CONGRESS AND

CHAMPIONED AN ISSUE NEAR AND

DEAR TO HER, GETTING THE FARM

BILL PASSED.

YES I WAS VERY BOLD AND GOT

INTO TOUGH FIGHTS WITH NATIONAL

LEADERS THAT HAD NEVER BEEN

CHALLENGED BEFORE.

AND THEY DID NOT REACT WELL.

BUT I WOULD SAY THAT, AT THE

END OF THE DAY, WE GOT IT DONE.

Reporter: NOEM CALLS HER

BEST DECISION THE ONE SHE MADE

TO COME BACK HOME TO SOUTH

DAKOTA.

THAT I THINK BEING GOVERNOR

FITS MY PERSONALITY BETTER.

Reporter: HER LEADERSHIP

DURING THE PANDEMIC THRUST HER

INTO THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT,

ESPECIALLY HER REFUSAL TO

ENFORCE FEDERAL MASK MANDATES

AND SHUT DOWN BUSINESS.

I REALLY FELT LIKE, DURING

THE PANDEMIC, WE SAW THE BEST

OF SOUTH DAKOTA.

WE SAW PEOPLE THAT HAD FAITH IN

EACH OTHER, FAITH IN GOD.

AND THEY PARTNERED IN A WAY

THAT WAS INSPIRING FOR THE REST

OF THE COUNTRY TO WATCH.

Reporter: TODAY SHE AND

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR LARRY

RHODEN, A THIRD GENERATION

CATTLE RANCHER, ARE RUNNING THE

SHOW WITH FARMING, CATTLE

RANCHING AND THE NATION'S FOOD

SUPPLY AT THE TOP OF THEIR

PRIORITY LIST.

I HAVE RECOGNIZED FOR MANY,

MANY YEARS THAT THE COUNTRY

THAT FEEDS ITSELF CONTROLS ITS

OWN FUTURE.

IF WE START IMPORTING FOOD FROM

ANOTHER COUNTRY, THEY CONTROL

US.

AND WE ARE GETTING DANGEROUSLY

CLOSE TO US.

Reporter: NOEM ALSO RECENTLY

SIGNED LIENALES SLICE MAKING

GIRLS SPORTS SOLELY FOR

BIOLOGICAL FEMALES AND AS OF

THIS JUNE, NO ABORTIONS ARE

BEING PERFORMED IN SOUTH

DAKOTA.

WHEN I RAN FOR GOVERNOR, I

TOLD THE ENTIRE COUNTRY I

WANTED TO BE THE MOST PRO LIFE

GOVERNOR IN THE COUNTRY THAT WE

HAVE EVER HAD.

AND WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THE

FACT THAT TODAY WE CHERISH OUR

CHILDREN IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Reporter: BUT IT HASN'T BEEN

ALL WINS FOR NOEM.

HER ATTEMPTS TO FORGE NEW

RELATIONSHIPS WITH SOUTH

DAKOTA'S NATIVE AMERICAN

INDIANS WERE NOT WELL RECEIVED.

THERE IS A LOT OF HEALING

THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN THERE.

AND A TALK IN MY BOOK ABOUT

SOME OF THE ROADBLOCKS I HAVE

RUN INTO.

Reporter: ALTHOUGH SHE IS

RUNNING FOR ANOTHER TERM AS

GOVERNOR, CONSERVATIVES

INSPIRED BY HER STRONG

LEADERSHIP STYLE HAVE URGED HER

TO RUN FOR THE WHITE HOUSE.

I DON'T HAVE ANY PLANS TO DO

THAT.

I VERY MUCH AM LOOKING FORWARD

TO HOPEFLLY SERVING THE PEOPLE

OF SOUTH DAKOTA ANOTHER FOUR

YEARS.

I HOPE THEY'LL TRUST ME TO DO

THAT.

I HAVE ALSO KNOWN THAT WE'LL

SEE WHAT GOD HAS PLANNED, TOO.

BUZZ HE LIKES TO SURPRISE ME

ONCE IN A WHILE.

Reporter: DO YOU EVER STILL

FEEL LIKE THAT LITTLE GIRL ON

THE RANCH?

I FEEL LIKE THAT EVERY DAY.

YES, I DO.

I FIND INCREDIBLE JOY FROM THE

SAME THINGS THAT I DID WHEN I

WAS A LITTLE GIRL.

THERE IS NOTHING BETTER, TO ME,

THAN A HORSE.

I LOVE CHASING COWS.

SO EVERYTHING THAT I LOVED THEN

I STILL LOVE.

I JUST DON'T GET TO DO IT AS

OFTEN.

Reporter: ONE THING SHE

PROMISED HERSELF WHEN HER DAD

DIED WAS THAT SHE WOULD LIVE

HER LIFE TO MAKE HIM PROUD.

I DON'T KNOW.

THIS IS A HARD THING TO JUDGE.

I THINK HE WOULD BE PROUD.

Reporter: WENDY GRIFFITH,

CBN NEWS, SOUTH DAKOTA.

> THAT IS A WONDERFUL

PICTURE.

AND IF YOU EVER GET DISCOURAGED

ABOUT AMERICA, LOOK AT THESE

STORIES.

AND BE ENCOURAGED.

GOD HASN'T GIVEN UP ON OUR

COUNTRY.

THOMAS JEFFERSON WROTE OVER 200

YEARS AGO THAT THE FUTURE OF

DEMOCRACY DEPENDED ON THE

FAMILY FARM.

AND WE NEED TO TAKE THOSE WORDS

TO HEART.

THESE INDEPENDENT FARMERS,

LET'S MAKE SURE THAT ESTATE

TAXES, THE DEATH TAX DOESN'T

DEPRIVE THE FAMILY OF THE

GENERATIONS OF WORK THAT HAVE

GONE INTO THAT FARM.

AND REALIZE, IT IS THE BEDROCK

OF OUR DEMOCRACY.

WELL YOU WERE SCHEDULED TO

HOW DID YOU GUYS MANAGE THAT?

WELL, YOU ARE RIGHT.

WE ALL SINGING ENGAGEMENTS CAME

EVERYBODY TO HEAR IT.

YES, WE ARE EXCITED TO HEAR

IT.

WELL JOSH, I WANT TO TALK TO

YOU FOR A MOMENT.

I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WERE

ESPECIALLY HIT HARD BY THE

VIRUS.

WHAT WAS THAT LIKE FOR YOU?

WELL, I'M SURE IT WAS HARD

FOR EVERYBODY WHO WERE HIT BY

IT.

BUT IT WAS A VERY TRYING TIME,

PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, AND

SPIRITUALLY.

BECAUSE I WAS REALLY SICK.

AND I REALLY HAD TO LEAN REALLY

HEAVY ON THE LORD AND JUST PRAY

EVERY, I FELT LIKE EVERY HOUR I

WAS PRAYING LORD, HELP ME, LORD

HELP ME.

AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE

GOING THROUGH THAT.

AND I AM SO IDEA THAT I HAD A

GOD TO CALL UPON AND ASK HIM TO

LORD, PLEASE, HELP ME THROUGH

THIS SITUATION.

I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE ARE GOING

THROUGH IT, BUT I'M GLAD THAT I

HAD A HEAVENLY FATHER WHO WOULD

LISTEN TO ME, WHO WOULD HEAR MY

PRAYER AND HERE I AM TODAY.

AND I'M THANKFUL I MADE IT

THROUGH.

JUST LIKE A LOT OF OTHER

PEOPLE.

I'M THANKFUL I HAD SOMEBODY I

COULD CALL UPON.

WE ARE THANKFUL YOU ARE HERE

WHAT WE DO.

BUT YEAH, DEFINITELY THE

WORKING.

WELL, HOW DID YOU GUYS GET

INTO SINGING THEN?

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU GUYS

COULD SING?

DID YOU HAVE AN AFFINITY FOR

PERFORMING AND SINGING?

HOW DID THAT COME ABOUT?

YES.

WE KNEW EACH OTHER WOULD SING

AND OUR FAMILIES SANG IN

REVIVES AND CAMP MEETINGS.

AND BOTH FAMILIES ARE SINGERS.

AND WE WERE THROWN IN THE MIX.

WE WERE FORCED TO SING, WEREN'T

WE?

YEAH.

BUT THROUGH THE YEARS, WE

HAVE DABBLED IN SOME SINGING

AND WE DO WHAT WE DO BEST IS

SING ON THE JOB.

AND THAT IS HOW YOU GET THROUGH

THE DAY, RIGHT?

YOU CAN'T HAVE A BORING DAY,

RIGHT?

YEAH.

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST SHOW LIKE?

I'M CURIOUS.

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST SHOW LIKE

AS THE ZIPPING CONTRACTORS?

WHAT WAS THAT LIKE FOR YOU

GUYS?

WELL, THAT WAS VERY

INTERESTING.

I'LL NEVER FORGET IT.

IT WAS AT A CHURCH IN AVON,

INDIANA.

THEY HAD A GOOD CROWD THERE.

AND WE ACTUALLY HAD TOOLS ON

THE STAGE, AND WE ACTUALLY

BUILT A CROSS AND ASSEMBLED IT

RIGHT IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY.

AND WE WAS TRYING TO SING AND

TALK AND WE WAS NERVOUS AS CAN

BE.

AND I'M TELLING YOU.

I TOLD HIM I SAID DON'T LET

ANYBODY SEE THESE CUTS UP

CLOSE.

BECAUSE IT WAS NOT GOOD WE WAS

SO NERVOUS.

I LOVE THAT.

BUT WE HAD FUN DOING IT.

THAT IS SO AWESOME.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT YOUR SOUND AND

YOUR STORY THAT YOU THINK

RESONATES WITH SO MANY PEOPLE?

THAT, I CAN'T REALLY GIVE AN

HONEST ANSWER FOR SURE.

BUT I DO KNOW THAT WE ARE

SIMPLE.

WE SING FROM OUR HEARTS.

I WOULD SAY THAT THEY DO.

WELL YOU SAY THAT SOME OF THE

SONGS YOUR LATEST ALBUM INSPIRE

YOU TO BECOME THE HARDWORKING

MEN YOU ARE TODAY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

WELL, WE ACTUALLY DO WORK

HARD EVERY DAY.

AND WE TRY TO.

SOME DAYS ARE LIGHTER THAN

@BUT WE ARE JUST AVERAGE PEOPLE.

WE ARE AVERAGE GUYS, JUST OUT

HERE TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING.

AND GOD HAS ALLOWED US TO HAVE

AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE MUSIC

WITH OTHERS AND MAKE PEOPLE

HAPPY, ENCOURAGE PEOPLE.

AND YOU KNOW, WE COUNT IT A

PRIVILEGE THAT HE HAS ALLOWED

US TO DO THAT.

DEFINITELY.

WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT JOBS.

I LOVE THAT.

I LOVE THAT.

COUNT IT ALL JOY.

IT IS ALL USED TO GLORIFY GOD.

> WHILE WORKING ON THIS

ALBUM, YOU GOT THE CHANCE TO

PERFORM

ALONGSIDE BILL GAITHER AND

WE THINK IT IS A PRIVILEGE

AND AN HONOR TO DO THAT.

BECAUSE GROWING UP OUR WHOLE

LIVES, WE HAVE HEARD GAITHER

MUSIC.

OH NO.

I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE LOST THE

SINGING CONTRACTORS.

I THINK THAT IS THE CASE.

LIFE WAS HARDER THERE.

I COULDN'T FINE A JOB.

WHILE VISITING THE AREA, WE

ALSO MET SUSAN, A SINGLE MOM

WHO WAS DISPOLICED BY THE

TYPHOON.

AND SHE AND HER CHILDREN HAVE

BEEN LIVING IN A SQUATTER'S

CAMP AND WE ARE FORCED TO LEAVE

THE AREA.

BUT THE THING IS, WE HAVE

NOWHERE ELSE TO GO TO.

IT IS SO DIFFICULT.

HOW CAN WE GET MATERIALS TO

BUILD A NEW HOUSE?

I'M JUST TRYING MY BEST TO LOOK

FOR ANOTHER PLACE.

Reporter: WHEN WE LEARNED

ABOUT DANNY AND SUSAN, WE BUILT

ASHLEY?

> WELL, STILL AHEAD, HOPE FOR

A WOMAN WHO SUFFERED THREE

MISCARRIAGES.

WATCH HER 8-YEAR JOURNEY OF

HEARTACHE, AND EXPERIENCE THE

HEAVEN ON EARTH MOMENT WHEN SHE

LIFTS HER BABY GIRL IN HER

ARMS.

THAT STORY IS RIGHT AFTER THIS.

.

> EIGHT LONG YEARS.

THAT IS HOW LONG ALAINA WATCHED

OTHER PEOPLE'S DREAMS COME

TRUE, WHILE SHE SUFFERED

MULTIPLE MISCARRIAGES.

EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE EIGHT

YEARS FILLED WITH PAIN, ALAINA

CONTINUED TO CLING TO HOPE.

IT WAS LIKE I DON'T WANT TO

TELL ANYBODY, JUST IN CASE THAT

WAS MY THING, JUST IN CASE,

WHICH REALLY I WAS SCARED.

I WAS SO SCARED.

Reporter: WHAT SHE WAS

AFRAID OF WAS HAVING ANOTHER

MISCARRIAGE.

THE FIRST ONE CAME TWO YEARS

EARLIER IN 2008.

AFTER YEARS OF TRYING, SHE AND

HER HUSBAND, ERIC, HAD TOLD

EVERYONE THEIR DREAM OF HAVING

CHILDREN WAS FINALLY COMING

TRUE.

WHEN YOU HAVE HAD PEOPLE

PRAYING FOR YOU AND THEN YOU

GOT TO TELL ALL THE PEOPLE THAT

YOU ARE EXPECTING FINALLY.

AND NOW YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM

SORRY.

NO, THAT IS NOT HAPPENING.

Reporter: NOW PREGNANT A

SECOND TIME, THEY HAD WAITED TO

SHARE THE NEWS.

AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN

AND WE LOST IT.

Reporter: JUST LIKE SHE HAD

BEFORE, ALAINA WOULDN'T LET IT

SHOW HOW MUCH IT HURT.

IT WAS LIKE OKAY.

ALL DONE.

EMOTIONALLY, JUST KIND OF CROWD

A LITTLE.

BUT MY HUSBAND WAS EVEN LIKE

YOU SHOULD BE MORE UPSET THAN

THIS.

AND I'M LIKE I'M JUST DONE.

IN THE COMING MONTHS, HIDING

THEIR DISAPPOINTMENT, PAIN AND

ANGER WOULD BECOME HARDER FOR

BOTH OF THEM.

I STARTED TELLING GOD HEY,

I'M MAD ABOUT THIS.

GOD, WHY?

I HAVE TO BATCH MY WIFE GO

THROUGH THIS.

I COULD TAKE IT.

BUT WATCH HER GOING THROUGH IT

WAS REALLY DIFFICULT.

WE WERE REDOING SOME OF THE

STUFF IN THE BABY'S ROOM AND WE

FOUND SOME BABY BOOKS THAT

PEOPLE HAD GIVEN US, BABY

NAMES, GETTING PREGNANT,

FINALLY I WAS SO MAD.

AND MY HUSBAND WAS JUST LOOKING

AT ME, STARING AT THESE BOOKS

AND NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO WITH

THEM.

DO WE SAVE THEM?

DO WE HOPE?

DO WE PUT THEM SOMEWHERE, WHERE

WE DON'T SEE THEM?

AND I'M CRYING HE JUST THREW

THEM.

STILL THEY PRAYED, HOPING

THEY WOULD HAVE A BABY OF THEIR

OWN.

A YEAR LATER IN 2011, ANOTHER

POSITIVE TEST AND ANOTHER

MISCARRIAGE.

ALAINA'S THIRD.

HER DO ASSURED THEM THERE WAS

NO PHYSICAL REASON WHY SHE

COULDN'T CARRY A BABY TO TERM.

SO ALAINA FELT MAYBE SHE WAS TO

BLAME.

I WAS MAD, IN THE WAY WHERE

YOU ARE BOWLING ON THE INSIDE

AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

WHY AM I DISAPPOINTING MYSELF?

AND DISAPPOINTING THESE PEOPLE?

I WAS AFRAID AND EVEN THEN

THE COUPLE NEVER BLAMED GOD, AS

THEY TRIED TO COME TO TERMS

WITH THE FACT THEY MAY NEVER

HAVE A BABY OF THEIR OWN.

IT WAS TRAUMATIC AND HARD

AND HAPPENING AGAIN.

BUT THERE WAS A SHIFT IN

KNOWING THAT YES I LIVE IN A

BROKEN WORLD.

BAD THINGS HAPPEN.

AND IN SPITE OF THAT, THE LORD

IS STILL GOOD.

GOD, IF THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN.

I STILL LOVE YOU.

YOU ARE STILL GOD.

BUT I GOT TO THE POINT WHERE AS

MUCH AS IT WOULD HURT AND IT

WOULD CONSTANTLY HURT, I WAS

GOING TO BE OKAY.

THEN A YEAR LATER IN

NOVEMBER OF 2012, ALAINA WAS AT

A WOMEN'S CONFERENCE WHEN ONE

OF THE SPEAKERS LED A TIME OF

MINISTRY AND PRAYER FOR THE

PARTICIPANTS.

ALAINA WASN'T INTERESTED.

I HAD MADE THIS DEAL WITH

MYSELF GOING INTO THE WEEKEND,

I AM NOT ASKING FOR PRAYER FOR

IN AGAIN.

I AM NOT GOING UP THERE.

I CAN'T MEASURE UP LIKE I CAN'T

DO IT.

I'M TIRED.

Reporter: THEN AT THE END OF

THE SERVICE.

HE SAYS THE LORD IS TELLING

ME THERE IS SOMEBODY OUT THERE

THAT HAS BEEN DEALING WITH

MISCARRIAGES, AND WANTS TO GET

PREGNANT.

Reporter: ALAINA KNEW AT

ONCE SHE HAD TO GIVE EVERYTHING

OVER TO GOD.

DESPITE MY STUBBORN I AM

DONE, HE WAS STILL WILLING TO

CALL ME OUT.

ANY HESITATION I HAD JUST

MELTED AWAY.

I'M DONE TRYING TO PUT MY HANDS

ON THIS THING.

I THINK THAT WAS THE MOST

VULNERABLE I LET MYSELF BE.

I COULDN'T HIDE ANYTHING.

I COULDN'T HIDE HOW HURT I HAD

BEEN.

HOW DISAPPOINTED, HOW MAD.

I WAS SURRENDERING MYSELF.

AND INSTEAD OF FEELING LOOKED

AT IN A JUDGED WAY, I FELT

HELD.

I DIDN'T FEEL ABANDONED.

A FEW MONTHS LATER ALAINA

TOOK ANOTHER PREGNANCY TEST

THAT AGAIN CAME BACK

POSITIVELY.

CAUTIOUSLY HOPEFUL, SHE AND

ERIC WENT FOR AN ULTRASOUND.

WE WERE HOLDING OUR BREATH

UNTIL WE SAW OR HEARD A

HEARTBEAT.

WHEN WE SAW THE HEARTBEAT, THAT

WAS LIKE OKAY.

Reporter: IN FACT, SHE WAS

THREE MONTHS ALONG.

WHEN WE WERE LOCKING AT THE

MONITOR AND WE SEE THIS BABY

MOVING, IT WAS LIKE WAIT.

THAT IS LIKE A PERSON.

MOVING AROUND.

AND I'M LOOKING AT THE

TECHNICIAN, LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE

TO UNDERSTAND, WE HAVE NEVER

BEEN THIS FAR.

Reporter: ON SEPTEMBER 23,

2013 ALAINA HAD A HEALTHY BABY

GIRL VIA C-SECTION.

HER FIRST NAME, ISABEL, MEANS

GOD'S PROMISE.

AND HER MIDDLE NAME, ESPERANZA,

MEANS HOPE.

IT WAS THE GREATEST THING TO

SEE HER HEALTHY, WHOLE.

LOUD AS CAN BE.

@MOMENT. YEARS OF WANTING THAT

FINALLY THEY BRING HER OVER.

AND I'M LIKE THIS IS FINALLY

HERE.

THIS MOMENT.

AND MY LITTLE GIRL IS IN MY

ARMS.

FINALLY.

IT WAS JUST HEAVEN ON EARTH.

ALAINA AND ERIC HAVE SINCE

WELCOMED ANOTHER DAUGHTER,

ANNABEL.

THEY WANT OTHERS TO KNOW THAT

EVEN WHEN THINGS SEEM HOPELESS,

GOD HEARS AND ANSWERS PRAYER

AND I THINK IF I COULD

ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO HAVE THE

GUTS TO LET GO, I THINK THAT

ALLOWS THE LORD TO MOVE IN A

WAY THAT WE CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE.

ALL OF THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE

FELT THAT YOU HAVE HAD TO BUILD

UP WALLS, AND PROTECT YOURSELF,

HE IS GOING TO GIVE YOU REASON

TO HAVE THOSE MELT AWAY.

AND HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT IS

GOING TO BE SAFE ENOUGH.

HE WANTS TO KNOW YOU.

HE WANTS TO KNOW THE REAL YOU.

YES.

HE WANTS TO KNOW YOU.

HE WANTS TO KNOW THE REAL YOU.

BECAUSE HE DOES KNOW YOU.

HE KNOWS YOU BETTER THAN ANYONE

ELSE IN THIS ENTIRE WORLD.

BETTER THAN YOUR SPOUSE KNOWS

YOU.

BETTER THAN YOUR OWN PARENTS

KNOW YOU.

YOUR SIBLINGS.

YOUR LOVED ONES, YOUR BEST

FRIENDS.

HE KNOWS YOU.

INTIMATELY.

BUT HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE EVERY

CONFIDENCE IN THE WORLD THAT HE

SEES YOU, HE LOVES YOU, HE

KNOWS YOU.

HE WANTS THE BEST FOR YOU.

I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TODAY,

DON'T GIVE UP HOPE.

EVEN WHEN THE ANSWER TO OUR

PRAYERS ISN'T COMING THE WAY

THAT WE HAD HOPED IT WOULD, IT

ISN'T HAPPENING ON THE TIMELINE

THAT WE HAD HOPED IT WOULD.

DON'T GIVE UP ON GOD.

GOD SEES FAR BEYOND WHAT WE

COULD EVER SEE.

HIS PLANS AND HIS PURPOSES FOR

YOU ARE SO MUCH GREATER THAN WE

COULD EVER ASK, THINK OR

IMAGINE.

WHY?

BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU.

THE BIBLE SAYS THAT AN ANSWER

TO PRAYER IS A TREE OF LIFE.

YOU JUST SAW THAT IN THAT

STORY.

THAT BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL WAS

BORN.

AND IT GAVE NEW LIFE TO ALAINA

AND HER FAMILY.

WHAT ARE YOU ASKING GOD FOR

TODAY?

ARE YOU ASKING FOR A BABY IN

ARE YOU ASKING FOR A SPOUSE?

ARE YOU ASKING FOR A HEALING?

WHATEVER IT IS, HAVE FAITH IN

THE GOD WHO KNOWS YOU.

WHO LOVES YOU, WHO SEES YOU.

WHO FIGHTS EVERY SINGLE BATTLE

FOR YOU.

HAVE HOPE AND FAITH TODAY,

KNOWING THAT HE WILL ANSWER

ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HIS

PLANS AND HIS PURPOSES.

> GORDON AND I ARE GOING TO

PRAY FOR YOU TODAY.

BUT BEFORE WE DO, WE WANT TO

CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE YOU IN

YOUR FAITH AND BELIEVING THAT

GOD ANSWERS OUR PRAYERS AND

THAT HE HEARS OUR PRAYERS.

THIS IS AN AMAZING TESTIMONY.

SO THIS IS LEE FROM TENNESSEE

SUFFERED WITH A CONDITION

COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A

CROOKED BACK.

WHILE WATCHING THE 700 CLUB,

LEE HEARD GORDON SAY SOMEONE

ELSE WITH A SPINAL COPPED, A

CURVATURE IN THE LOWER THIRD OF

YOUR SPINE, GOD IS HEALING YOU

FROM THAT.

HE IS LITERALLY REARRANGING IT

SO YOU ARE NOT AT AN ANGLE.

IT IS LIKE YOU ARE TWISTED TO

THE RIGHT.

HE IS LINING EVERYTHING UP FOR

YOU RIGHT NOW.

ALL THAT PINCHING OF NERVES,

ALL OF THAT DISCOMFORT IS

LEAVING YOU RIGHT NOW.

LEE BELIEVED GOD FOR COMPLETE

HEALING.

SOON AFTER, LEE REALIZED HER

SPINE WAS NORMAL, AND CALLED

CBN TO REPORT HER GOOD NEWS.

PRAISE GOD.

> HERE'S A DOUBLE MIRACLE.

ELAINE FROM NEW YORK, HAD

SEVERE ARTHRITIS IN HER TOES.

SHE ALSO HAD A PIECE OF

FLOATING BONE, WHICH MADE IT

FELT LIKE SHE WAS WALKING WITH

A BROKEN TOE.

WATCHING THIS SHOW, ASHLEY SAID

I BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE WATCHING

WITH HORRIBLE ARTHRITIS.

IT IS VERY PAINFUL.

JUST RECEIVE THE HEALING OF THE

LORD RIGHT NOW.

BELIEVE IT, AND RECEIVE IT FOR

YOURSELF.

AND THEN I ADDED EACH ALL THOSE

LITTLE TINY CHIPS OUT OF THAT

JOINT, GIVE YOU A FULL

MOBILITY, FULL FUNCTION.

BE HEALED.

WE'LL LANE CLAIMED HER

HEALING.

ALL THE PAIN LEFT.

SHE REALIZED SHE COULD EVEN

BEND HER TOES AGAIN.

ISN'T THAT INCREDIBLE WHAT GOD

CAN DO WHEN WE JUST BELIEVE

HIM?

LET THAT STORY ENCOURAGE

YOU.

JUST COME TO HIM AND BE

TRANSPARENT.

LORD, I NEED HOPE.

I NEED A MIRACLE.

I NEED YOU.

YOU GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU

DON'T EACH WANT TO PRAY ANY

MORE.

YOU DON'T EACH WANT TO STAND UP

AND SAY I NEED THIS.

YOU KNOW, YOU GET TO THAT

POINT.

AND AT THAT POINT GOD CALLS OUT

TO YOU AND SAYS HERE I AM.

HERE I AM.

COME TO ME.

ANYONE WHO IS HEAVY LADEN COME

TO ME, AND I WILL GIVE YOU

REST.

> I THINK WE SHOULD PRAY FOR

WOMEN RIGHT NOW.

FOR WOMEN WHO SUFFER THROUGH

MISCARRIAGE, PRAY FOR WOMEN WHO

HAVE HAD ABORTIONS AND ARE HAD

THE SCARRING FROM THAT AND ARE

WONDERING CAN I GIVE LIFE

AGAIN.

GOD WANTS TO MEET YOU WHERE YOU

ARE.

HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU YOUR

HEART'S DESIRE.

FOR THE WOMAN IN THAT LAST

STORY, IT WAS A DOUBLE MIRACLE.

ISABELLA, AN BELLA ALL CAME

BECAUSE GOD HAD A PROMISE.

GOD HAS A PROMISE FOR YOU.

YOU WILL FULFILL YOUR GREATEST

DESIRES.

HE WILL GIVE THEM TO YOU, IF

YOU JUST ASK.

SO WE ARE GOING TO PRAY.

YOU ARE GOING TO BELIEVE.

IN AN ACT OF FAITH LAY YOUR

HAND ON YOUR BELLY AND LET'S

PRAY THAT GOD WILL GIVE YOU THE

POWER TO GIVE LIFE.

THAT HE WILL HEAL ANYTHING THAT

IS WRONG.

HE WILL COMPLETELY TRANSFORM

YOU AND GIVE YOU WHAT YOU ARE

ASKING FOR.

LET US PRAY.

> LORD, WE LIFT WOMEN TO YOU

RIGHT NOW.

WE LIFT ANYONE WHO HAS SUFFERED

WITH MISCARRIAGE, ANYONE WHO

HAS HAD AN ABORTION.

ANYONE WHO IS GOING THROUGH THE

TORMENT CAN I HAVE CHILDREN,

CAN I HAVE THE POWER TO GIVE

LIFE?

AND LORD WE SPEAK RESTORATION

TO THEM, WE SPEAK THAT POWER TO

GIVE AND TO BEAR LIFE.

BE WITH HIM NOW.

HEAL ANYTHING THAT IS OUT OF

ORDER, ANYTHING THAT IS NOT

ACCORDING TO YOUR PLAN.

AND WE LIFT THEM UP TO YOU AND

DECLARE OVER THEM BLESS THE

LORD, O MY SOUL AND FORGET NOT

ALL HIS BENEFITS, WHO FORGIVES

ALL YOUR INIQUITY AND HEALS ALL

YOUR DISEASE.

WE CLAIM THAT FOR THEM NOW.

BE HEALED NOW IN JESUS' NAME.

> ASHLEY?

I BELIEVE SOMEONE IS

WATCHING WITH HEPATITIS.

I JUST HEARD HEPATITIS.

IF THAT IS YOU.

IF YOU HAVE HEPATITIS B OR C, I

BELIEVE THE LORD IS HEALING

THAT FOR YOU RIGHT NOW IN THE

NAME OF JESUS.

I'LL NOT SURE IF THIS IS

SOMETHING THAT IS HINDERING YOU

FROM HAVING CHILDREN, BUT GOD

IS TOUCHING YOU RIGHT NOW.

JUST RECEIVE THAT IN JESUS'

NAME.

YOU WILL NO LONGER HAVE THIS

DISEASE.

YOU ARE HEALED BY THE BLOOD OF

JESUS CHRIST.

JUST RECEIVE THAT RIGHT NOW.

> THERE IS SOMEONE YOU ARE

SUFFERING A NUMBNESS IN YOUR

FACE AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT

FOR YOU TO CREATE FACIAL

EXPRESSIONS ANY MORE.

I DON'T KNOW THE CAUSE OF IT

AND I'M NOT REALLY CONCERNED

ABOUT THE CAUSE.

I'M JUST CONCERNED THAT RIGHT

NOW YOU ARE HEALED.

YOUR NERVES ARE BEING RESTORED.

MOVEMENT IN YOUR FACE IS BEING

RESTORED.

NOW.

JUST RECEIVE ALL OF THAT.

JUST RECEIVE THE ABILITY TO

SMILE AND LET LAUGHTER OVERCOME

YOU RIGHT NOW.

LET THE JOY OF YOUR LORD BE

YOUR STRENGTH.

YOUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN HEARD

AND HAVE BEEN ANSWERED TODAY.

> THERE IS SOMEONE YOU ARE

NEUROPATHY IN BOTH OF YOUR

HANDS.

THERE IS AN ONGOING TINGLING,

NUMBNESS.

IT IS DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO USE

YOUR HANDS BECAUSE OF THIS

ISSUE.

GOD'S HEALING YOU.

HE IS RESTORING EVERYTHING,

GIVING YOU TOUCH, FEELING, FIRM

GRASP, FIRM MOBILITY,

EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE

NORMAL WITH YOUR HANDS FROM

THIS MOMENT FORWARD.

> AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS

THE SAME PERSON.

I DON'T KNOW IF THE LEFT HAND

IS WORSE THAN THE RIGHT HAND.

BUT I BELIEVE THERE ARE SOME

ISSUES WITH THIS LEFT HAND.

ANNA, THIS IS FOR YOU.

I KEPT HEARING AN IN.

GOD SEES YOU, GOD LOVES YOU, HE

IS FOR YOU.

HE IS NOT AGAINST YOU.

JUST RECEIVE THIS HEALING IN

YES'S US IS'S NAME.

THANK YOU, LORD.

> GOD WANTS TO HEAL THE

BROKENHEARTED.

PEOPLE ARE JUST SUFFERING WITH

TREMENDOUS HEARTACHE.

JUST COME TO HIM WITH THAT.

DON'T HIDE IT ANY MORE.

JUST YOU KNOW, TELL HIM YOUR

GROVE.

POUR OUT YOUR GRIEF BEFORE HIM.

LET HIM HEAL YOUR INNER MOST

BEING NOW.

IN JESUS'S NAME, AMEN.

> IF YOU HAVE BEEN HEALED, IF

YOU HAVE BEEN TOUCHED, LET US

KNOW, LET US SHARE IN YOUR GOD

REPORT OF WHEN GOD IS DOING IN

THE WORLD TODAY.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PICK UP

THE PHONE AND CALL US.

IF YOU NEED PRAYER, WE ARE HERE

LET ALL THAT I AM LAY QUIETLY

BEFORE GOD FOR MY HOPE IS IN
