HE HAD NO PULSE AND NO

BREATH.

THE VICTIM OF A WIDOWMAKER

HEART ATTACK.

THE FIGHT TO SAVE HIS LIFE.

THE MIRACLE THAT BROUGHT HIM

BACK FROM THE DEAD.

I REMEMBER THINKING TO

MYSELF, I'M PRETTY GOOD FOR

HAVING A HEART ATTACK.

TODAY, ON THE 700 CLUB.

> WELL, WELCOME TO THE 700

CLUB.

THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS WERE A

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THE

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IN THE

MIDDLE EAST.

NOW, THOSE AGREEMENTS COULD BE

FACING SERIOUS CHALLENGES

BECAUSE OF PRESIDENT JOE

BIDEN'S FOREIGN-POLICY.

THE WHITE HOUSE TEAM HAS

SOME DIFFERENT PLANS FOR THE

MIDDLE EAST AND AS CHRIS

MITCHELL REPORTS FROM

JERUSALEM, THEY COULD WEAKEN

THE UNITED STATES STANDING IN

THE REGION AND HELP COUNTRIES

LIKE RUSSIA.

Reporter: WHEN PRESIDENT JOE

BIDEN CAME TO VISIT ISRAEL AND

SAUDI ARABIA, THINGS BEGAN TO

CHANGE IN THE REGION.

AS AGREEMENTS FOR MUTUAL

DEFENSE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND

NEIGHBORING ARAB COUNTRIES

BEGAN TO FALL APART.

THE SECURITY ARCHITECTURE

UNRAVELED.

IT WAS CANCELED AND THE UAE,

INSTEAD, IS TRYING TO

REESTABLISH DIPLOMATIC

RELATIONS WITH IRAN, AS ARE

SOME OTHER COUNTRIES.

IT SEEMS THEY MEASURED THE

UNITED STATES' COMMITMENT AND

MEASURED IT AS TOO WEAK AND ARE

TRYING TO COME TO SOME TERMS

WITH THE IRANIANS.

Reporter: THIS EXPERT SAYS

THE UNRULINESS OF THE BIDEN

INDUSTRIES INTO PRESENT

CREDIBLE MILITARY THREAT

TOWARDS IRAN PUTS THE SUNNI

GULF COUNTRIES IN A VULNERABLE

POSITION.

THEY CANNOT STOP IRANIANS.

THEY ONLY HAVE ONE OR TWO

CHOICES.

ONE CHOICE IS TO TRY TO GROVEL

IN FRONT OF THE IRANIANS, WHICH

IS A PATH THAT THEY ARE

STARTING TO SHOW.

THAN THERE IS TO FIND ANOTHER

STRONG HORSE OR NEW PATRON OF

POWER THAT CAN DEFEND THEM.

IN ADDITION TO DEFENSE

CONCERNS, THE BIDEN

ADMINISTRATION IS MAKING A

CHANGE TO THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS.

HE IS INTRODUCING THE OSLO

FRAMEWORK.

OTHER COUNTRIES DO NOT SUPPORT

THAT IDEA.

THE SAUDIS, THE OTHER ARABS,

THEY DO NOT LIKE WHAT THEY ARE

DOING IN VARIOUS AREAS.

BY FORCING THAT BACK IN, IT

ACTUALLY THREATENS THE ABRAHAM

ACCORDS.

AGAIN, I THINK THE OVERRIDING

INTEREST OF THE COUNTRIES ARE

SO STRONG WITH THE ABRAHAM

ACCORDS, THAT IT WILL SURVIVE.

IT WILL NOT BE WITH --

Reporter: THIS SPECIAL ENVOY

FOR THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS SAYS

THESE GULF COUNTRIES ARE

FRUSTRATED.

THERE IS A FEELING OF, WHAT

WILL WE DO FOR THE NEXT 26

MONTHS?

Reporter: IF THEY DO NOT

LEAD, OTHER NATIONS ARE WAITING

TO TAKE OVER.

THERE IS NO COINCIDENCE THAT

PUTIN SHOWED UP TO IRAN JUST AS

BIDEN LEFT THE REGION.

THERE IS A COMPETITION HERE.

IF THE U.S. DOES NOT LEAD,

RUSSIA OR CHINA WILL.

IT IS IN THEIR INTEREST AND

THEY WANT TO BE -- THEY WANT TO

SIT NEXT TO US.

IF WE ARE NOT THERE, THE

RUSSIANS AND THE CHINESE ARE.

CHRIS MITCHELL IS JOINING US

FROM JERUSALEM NOW.

CHRIS, IS THIS ABOUT THE STRONG

HORSE?

HOW DOES IT APPLY TO WHAT WE

ARE SEEING NOW?

Reporter: WELL, THE WHOLE

IDEA ABOUT THE STRONG HORSE IS

IT IS ABOUT HOW THINGS WORK IN

THE MIDDLE EAST.

THEY WILL FOLLOW THE STRONG

HORSE.

THE BIGGEST ONE NOT ONLY HAS TO

SHOW YOU ARE POWERFUL, BUT YOU

ALSO HAVE TO SHOW YOU ARE

WILLING TO USE THAT POWER.

NATIONS CAN EITHER FOLLOW THE

STRONG HORSE FOR THEIR

PROTECTION, LIKE SOME OF THESE

SUNNI ARAB NATIONS, OR BECAUSE

THEY FEEL THE STRONG HORSE

BECAUSE THE WAY THEY USE THEIR

POWER.

THIS IS HOW IT IS WORKING OUT.

THE U.S. HAS THE POWER,

CLEARLY.

IT IS UNCLEAR TO MANY IN THIS

REGION, LIKE ISRAEL AND SUNNI

GULF STATES, THAT THEY WILL USE

THEIR POWER.

THEY ARE ASKING, WILL THE USB

THE STRONG HORSE?

SOME NATIONS ARE ALREADY

ANSWERING THAT QUESTION WITH

THEIR ACTIONS AND THAT IS

MAKING NATIONS LIKE THE UAE AND

SAUDI ARABIA SHRINKING BACK TO

PROTECT THEIR OWN INTEREST.

THAT IS WHY THE UAE IS TRYING

TO REESTABLISH DIPLOMATIC

RELATIONS WITH IRAN SINCE THEY

ARE NOT SURE OF THE U.S. WILL

BACK THEM UP -- IT IS MAKING

ISRAEL FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE TO

GO IT ALONE, LIKE -- ON THE

OTHER HAND, IT IS MAKING

NATIONS LIKE IRAN, BECAUSE --

IT IS MAKING OF THEM BOLDER

BECAUSE THEY DO NOT THINK THE

U.S. WILL USE ITS POWER TO STOP

THEM.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY

WOULD TRY TO CHANGE THE

FRAMEWORK FOR THE ABRAHAM

ACCORDS.

WE FINALLY HAD SOMETHING THAT

WAS WORKING, THAT WAS BRINGING

PEACE TO THE MIDDLE EAST,

BRINGING PEACE TO THE REGION.

WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD THEY

CHANGE THE FRAMEWORK?

WELL, I THINK IT GOES BACK

TO WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST

WEEK.

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SEEMS

TO BE GOING BACK TO THIS

CONCEPT OF THE TWO STATE

SOLUTION AND WANTING TO INCLUDE

THE PALESTINIANS BRINGING THEM

INTO THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS, IN

THE MINDS OF SOME, LIKE WHO WE

TALKED TO EARLIER, WOULD BE

REVERSING THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND

THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS.

THE REASON WHY, THE PALESTINIAN

AUTHORITY SEIZED ABRAHAM

ACCORDS AS A THREAT, SO THEY

WANT TO UNDERMINE THE ACCORDS.

IN EFFECT, THEY TOOK AWAY THE

PALESTINIAN VETO FOR MORE THAN

20 YEARS.

I AM SURE YOU REMEMBER JOHN

KERRY SAID IN DECEMBER2016

THAT THEY WOULD NOT MAKE PEACE

WITH ISRAEL UNLESS THE

ISRAELI/PALESTINIAN CONFLICT

WOULD BE SOLVED.

ABRAHAM ACCORDS -- NOW THEY

SEEM TO BE GOING BACK TO THE

WHOLE CONCEPT OF A TWO-STATE

SOLUTION, BRINGING THE

PALESTINIANS INTO THE ABRAHAM

ACCORDS, AND WE SPOKE TO SOME

TODAY AND IT WOULD THROW A WET

TOWEL ON THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS.

WHAT HE DEAD -- HE HAS TO

KNOW THAT IS ABSOLUTELY

IMPOSSIBLE.

YOU CANNOT HAVE THAT.

ISRAEL CAN NEVER ACCEPT IT AND,

YOU KNOW, THE ODDEST THING AS

THE PALESTINIANS DO NOT WANT A

TWO-STATE SOLUTION.

THEY WANT ISRAEL OFF THE MAP.

WE FINALLY HAD AN

ADMINISTRATION WILLING TO STEP

UP AND SAY, NO, WE DO NOT GET

TO BULLY US OR HAVE YOUR WAY OR

GET TO CONTINUE TO PREACH THIS

IDEOLOGY.

WE WILL NOT CONTINUE TO FUND

IT.

NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE THIS GIANT

RESET.

IS THIS SORT OF THE U.S.

FOREIGN POLICY ESTABLISHMENT

REASSERTING THEMSELVES OR --

WHAT IS BEHIND THE POLICY

CHANGE?

WELL, I THINK MANY SAY IT IS

THE THIRD TERM OF THE OBAMA

ADMINISTRATION AND THIS WAS THE

POLICY OF THE OBAMA

ADMINISTRATION AND NOW THE

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAVE MANY

OF THE SAME PLAYERS FROM BOTH

ADMINISTRATIONS THAT ARE

WORKING WITH PRESIDENT JOE

BIDEN'S TO ESTABLISH HIS

FOREIGN-POLICY AND THE WHOLE

IDEA, BASICALLY, IS SIMPLE.

THEY WANT TO APPEASE IRAN.

THAT IS WHY THEY WENT BACK TO

NEGOTIATING WITH IRAN AND GOING

BACK TO A TWO-STATE SOLUTION.

THAT WAS EVIDENCE. HE VISITED

EASTERN JERUSALEM WITHOUT AN

ISRAELI FLAG ON THE CAR AND HE

TALKED ABOUT A TWO-STATE

SOLUTION, GOING BACK TO THE

1967 LINES.

SO, THAT IS WHAT SEEMS TO BE

HAPPENING.

THE FOREIGN-POLICY THAT WAS

THERE FOR EIGHT YEARS WITH

OBAMA IS NOW, AND THE THIRD

TERM, AS SOME SAY, WITH

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN'S.

PUTIN AND RUSSIA ARE JOINING

WITH TURKEY, HAVING MEETINGS IN

IRAN.

IT IS RIGHT OUT OF THE BOOK OF

EZEKIEL.

YOU LOOK AT CHAPTER 38 IN YOU

GO, WOW, IT IS AN ALLIANCE THAT

IS REALLY UNLIKELY, THAT IS NOW

COMING TOGETHER.

SO, IS THERE A POSSIBILITY OF

WAR WITH IRAN AND IN THAT, IS

ISRAEL REALLY GOING TO GO IT

ALONE?

WELL, THAT IS THE BIG

QUESTION IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

IT DOES SEEM MORE LIKELY, NOT

LESS, OF A POSSIBILITY OF WAR.

THE U.S. IS PERCEIVED AS WEAK

IN THE REGION.

THESE NATIONS ARE MAKING THEIR

ON DECISIONS ON THEIR OWN

NATIONAL INTERESTS.

ISRAEL IS SAYING THEY MAY HAVE

TO GO IT ALONE.

THAT IS WHAT THE CHIEF OF STAFF

SAID LAST SUNDAY.

THAT WAS FOLLOWING PRESIDENT

JOE BIDEN'S TRIP.

AS THEY SAID, IT IS NO

COINCIDENCE THAT PUTIN IS IN

TEHRAN.

IT IS JUST AFTER PRESIDENT JOE

BIDEN LEFT.

THEY ARE MAKING A STATEMENT

WHERE THEY SAY THEY WANT TO BE

THE STRONG HORSE IN THE REGION

AND THEY WANT TO HAVE A BOULDER

POLICIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST,

MORE RELATIONS WITH IRAN AND

TURKEY, AND, AS YOU SAID, IT

SEEMS LIKE A PROPHETIC

PERSPECTIVE UNFOLDING IN THE

REGION.

ALL THE MORE REASON THAT WAR

SEEMS MORE LIKELY AND PEOPLE

NEED TO BE PRAYING FOR THE

REGION AND THE PEACE OF

JERUSALEM.

THANK YOU FOR THE INSIGHT.

YES, INDEED, PEOPLE NEED TO BE

PRAYING FOR THE PEACE OF

JERUSALEM.

> PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN IS

WORKING IN ISOLATION AT HOME

AFTER CONTRACTING COVID-19.

HIS STAFF SAYS HE IS DOING

FINE, HOWEVER, THEIR QUESTIONS

ABOUT HOW HE GOT THE DISEASE.

BRODY CARTER HAS THAT STORY.

THE WHITE HOUSE IS TRYING TO

SHOW MOST AMERICANS CAN GET

COVID AND RECOVER WITHOUT TOO

MUCH SUFFERING AND DISRUPTION

IF THEY HAVE GOTTEN THEIR SHOTS

AND TRIED TO PROTECT

THEMSELVES.

ONE MAJOR QUESTION REMAINS

UNANSWERED.

WHERE DID HE CONTRACTED?

HE IS HAD A BUSY TRAVEL

ITINERARY AS OF LATE, INCLUDING

TRIPS TO RHODE ISLAND,

MASSACHUSETTS, AND OVERSEAS TO

ISRAEL AND SAUDI ARABIA.

WHEN PRESSED ON WHERE HE

CONTRACTED THE VIRUS, THEY

SAID, QUOTE, THAT DOES NOT

MATTER.

WHERE WAS HE INFECTED?

I DO NOT THINK WE KNOW.

I THINK WHAT MATTERS IS WE

PREPARED FOR THIS MOMENT.

HE CONTRACTED THE VIRUS.

OFFICIALS SAY HE IS

EXPERIENCING FATIGUE, RUNNY

NOSE, AND A DRY COUGH BUT SAYS

HIS CHANCE FOR SERIOUS

INFECTION ARE DRAMATICALLY

REDUCED AS THE PRESIDENT IS

FULLY VACCINATED AND TWICE

BOOSTED.

HE WAS GIVEN AN ANTIVIRAL

MEDICATION, PAXLOVID, AND IS

EXPECTED TO BE WORKING FROM THE

WHITE HOUSE.

OUR EXPECTATIONS IS HE WILL

GET THROUGH THIS.

YOU WILL BE MONITORED.

DOCTORS SAY A MAJOR FACTOR

OF HIS TREATMENT IS HIS AGE.

YOU WILL BE CLOSELY WATCHED.

THE WHITE HOUSE HAS REDUCED THE

RESIDENCE STAFF TO ESSENTIAL

PERSONNEL ONLY AND PLANS TO

CONTACT TRACE EVERYONE THE

PRESIDENT HAS BEEN IN CLOSE

TOUCH WITH . BRODY CARTER, CBN

NEWS.

FOR MORE ON THIS STORY, OUR

MEDICAL REPORTER, LORIE

JOHNSON, IS WITH US.

THE PRESIDENT IS IN THE HIGH

RISK CATEGORY BECAUSE OF HIS

AGE.

HOW CONCERNED SHOULD WE BE OR

SHOULD HIS DOCTORS BE ABOUT HIS

CONDITION?

YOU KNOW, HIS AGE IS A VERY

MAJOR CONCERN.

AGE IS THE NUMBER ONE RISK

FACTOR, BY FAR.

HE WILL BE 80 IN NOVEMBER.

GORDON, OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE

WHO HAVE DIED FROM COVID, 81%

HAVE BEEN OVER THE AGE OF 65.

HE IS WELL OVER THAT AGE.

YEAH, DOCTORS ARE NOT THAT

CONCERNED ABOUT HIM.

THEY SAY HE WILL PROBABLY

CONTINUE TO HAVE THESE MILD

SYMPTOMS BECAUSE HE IS FULLY

VACCINATED AND TWICE BOOSTED

AND ALL THE VACCINES DO NOT

PREVENT US FROM GETTING SICK,

THEY'RE VERY EFFECTIVE AT

KEEPING US OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.

HE IS ON PAXLOVID.

WE HAVE HAD MAJOR ISSUES WITH

IF HE HAS OMA KRON.

THIS VARIANT THAT HAS BEEN WITH

US SINCE JANUARY IS A LOT LESS

SEVERE THAN THE OTHER VARIANTS

WE SAW LIKE DELTA BECAUSE IT

TENDS TO STAY IN THE HEAD OR IN

THE NECK.

SO, PEOPLE HAVE SYMPTOMS LIKE

THE PRESIDENT HAD, WHERE YOU

HAVE A RUNNY NOSE OR A HEADACHE

AND CONGESTION AND A SORE

THROAT, BUT NOT THAT DIFFICULTY

BREATHING.

THAT IS WHAT WE SAW SO OFTEN

WITH OTHER VARIANTS LIKE DELTA.

THAT IS WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ARE

IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE, LIKE THE

PRESIDENT, THAT THERE ARE SO

MANY THINGS THAT MITIGATE THIS

VIRUS, BUT I SHOULD POINT OUT,

GORDON, THAT WE ARE SEEING MORE

THAN 400 PEOPLE EVERY SINGLE

DAY IN AMERICA DIE FROM COVID.

THAT IS STILL FAR TOO MANY BUT

COMPARE THAT TO THE WORST OF

THIS PANDEMIC IN JANUARY OF

2021, WHERE 3300 PEOPLE WERE

DYING EVERY DAY .

TELL US ABOUT THE MEDICINE

THAT OUR PRESIDENT IS TAKING. I

BELIEVE IT IS CALLED PAXLOVID.

IT IS AN ANTIVIRAL.

HOW EFFECTIVE IS THAT AND THAT

-- WILL THAT LEAD TO A RECORD

RECOVERY?

THE THING ABOUT IT IS THINK

ABOUT TAMIFLU.

THOSE THAT ARE FAMILIAR WITH

TAMIFLU, TAMIFLU IS TO THE FLU

WHAT TAX IT IS TO COVID-19.

IT IS AN ANTIVIRAL.

IT STOPS THE VIRUS FROM

REPLICATING.

WHEN YOU ARE INFECTED WITH THE

VIRUS, IT STARTS TO MULTIPLY.

SO, IT IS VERY EFFECTIVE.

IT IS 90% EFFECTIVE AT KEEPING

UNVACCINATED, HIGH-RISK PEOPLE

OUT OF THE HOSPITAL.

THAT IS WHAT THE STUDY SHOWED.

THE KEY THOUGH TO PAXLOVID,

LIKE TAMIFLU, IS YOU WANT TO

START TAKING IT EARLY.

IDEALLY, YOU WANT TO START

TAKING IT 24 TO 48 HOURS AFTER

THE ONSET OF SYMPTOMS.

GORDON, I KNOW YOU ARE KIND OF

A MACHO MAN, SO WHEN YOU START

HAVING SYMPTOMS, YOU IGNORE

THEM UNTIL YOU CANNOT FUNCTION.

DO NOT DO THAT BECAUSE THE IDEA

WITH ANTIVIRALS, LIKES PAXLOVID

AND TAMIFLU, YOU WANT TO TAKE

THEM AS SOON AS YOU NOTICE THE

SYMPTOMS.

I WILL IGNORE -- LET'S GET

BACK TO THE VACCINE.

UNDER THE NEW VARIANT, IT DOES

NOT SEEM TO BE EFFECTIVE TO

ACTUALLY STOPPING YOU FROM

GETTING IT.

SHOULD WE STILL BE LOOKING AT

GETTING BOOSTERS AND IS THERE

GOING TO BE A NEW BOOSTER FOR

THE OMICRON VARIANT?

YES AND YES.

DOCTORS SAY IF YOU ARE OVER 50

YEARS OLD AND YOU HAVE NOT

GOTTEN YOUR BOOSTER, THIS

CALENDAR YEAR, 2022, YOU NEED

TO GET IT RIGHT NOW.

VACCINES HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO BE

VERY EFFECTIVE AT PREVENTING

SEVERE DISEASE AND DEATH.

ALSO, NOT ONLY PEOPLE WHO ARE

50 AND OLDER, BUT UNDER 50 WHO

HAVE MEDICAL ISSUES, LIKE THOSE

THAT ARE IMMUNOCOMPROMISED.

VACCINES ARE GOING TO BE

INTRODUCED TO THE PUBLIC IN

OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER, NEW ONES.

THEY HAVE BEEN TARGETING THE

OMICRON VARIANT AND THE VARIOUS

SUBVARIANTS WE HAVE SEEN SINCE

JANUARY.

THOSE WILL BE OUT THIS FALL.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU FOR THE INSIGHT.

TERRY, WHAT IS NEXT?

A HEART ATTACK INSIDE A GYM.

THIS MAN HAD HIS FACE TURNING

PURPLE.

FIND OUT HOW HE SURVIVED THE

WIDOW MAKER.

> FIRST, A GUT PUNCH FOR

SOUTHERN BAPTIST.

A BOMBSHELL REPORT REVEALING

THE TOP LEADERS IGNORED THE

SEXUAL ABUSE VICTIMS AND

COVERED FOR PREDATORS FOR 20

YEARS.

NOW, THEY ARE COMING TO GRIPS

WITH THEIR FAILURE TO ACT.

YEAR THEIR APOLOGY TO SURVIVORS

AND FIND OUT WHAT THEY ARE

DOING TO ENSURE IT NEVER

HAPPENS AGAIN.

THAT IS UP NEXT.

> LAST MONTH, SOUTHERN

BAPTISTS VOTED FOR REFORM AND

IT REPRESENTED A WATERSHED

MOMENT AFTER TWO DECADES OF

STORE WYOMING VICTIMS.

HEATHER SELLS REPORT ON HOW IT

TRANSPIRED AND WHAT COMES NEXT.

Reporter: THREE YEARS AGO,

JULES WOODSON AND OTHER ABUSE

SURVIVORS PROTESTED OUTSIDE THE

ANNUAL MEETING, BELIEVING THEIR

PRESENCE AND THEIR BOMBSHELL

HOUSTON CHRONICLE REPORT COULD

ENCOURAGE LEADERS TO HEAR THEIR

CONCERNS.

I WAS HOPING TO SPUR

SUPPORT.

DAVE PITTMAN, WHO SUFFERED

AS A BOY AT THE HANDS OF HIS

MUSIC MINISTER, REMEMBERS THE

MISTREATMENT BY THOSE ATTENDING

THE MEETING, KNOWN AS

"MESSENGERS.

THE VITRIOL, THE WORDS THAT

SURVIVORS WERE CALLED BY

MESSENGERS WALKING INTO THE

COMMISSION.

FAST-FORWARD TO 2022 AND

SIGNIFICANT CHANGE HAPPENED.

NOT ONLY DID THEY FIND

THEMSELVES POSING WITH THE NEW

SOUTHERN BAPTIST PRESIDENT, BUT

THE DENOMINATION PUBLICLY

LAMENTED A SCATHING REPORT,

SHOWING HOW TOP LEADERS IGNORED

OR STONEWALLED VICTIMS FOR 20

YEARS.

THIS IS OUR GUT PUNCH.

WE DID NOT WANT TO SEE WHAT WE

SAW.

Reporter: THIS TIME AROUND,

SURVIVORS WERE ALSO WELCOMED

AND PROVIDED WITH A RECOVERY

ROOM STOCKED WITH REFRESHMENTS.

THE MESSENGERS FORMALLY ASKED

SURVIVORS FOR FORGIVENESS AND

AGREED TO CREATE A DATABASE FOR

TRACKING PREDATORS AND

COMMITTED TO SEEKING FURTHER

REFORMS.

FOR SURVIVORS, HUGS AND TEARS

TO SEE THE PROGRESS.

NOW, THERE IS ACTION.

THERE IS SOMETHING TANGIBLE.

SURVIVORS CAN CLING TO THAT AND

SAY, THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING

NEW.

IT IS SUCH A FREEING FEELING

TO THINK MAYBE WE CAN BEGIN TO

DO THE WORK WE HAVE ALWAYS

WANTED TO DO, WHICH IS TO HOLD

ABUSERS TO ACCOUNT, TO BE ABLE

TO KEEP THEM FROM MOVING TO

CHURCH TO CHURCH AND KEEPING

PEOPLE SAFE.

THEY ARE GRAPPLING WITH

HISTORIC ABUSE REFORM.

LEADERS AND ADVOCATES SAY THIS

WORK IS JUST BEGINNING.

IT IS TIME FOR SOUTHERN

BAPTIST TO REALIZE HOW NIMBLE

AND RESILIENT OUR BAPTISTS

POLITY CAN BE.

BART BARBER HAS VOWED TO

TURN THE TABLES AND MAKE THE

ABUSERS THE ONE TO FEEL

UNWELCOME.

IT STARTS WITH THE NEW TASK

FORCE THAT WILL OVERSEE THE

DATABASE, CONSIDER A SURVIVOR

MEMORIAL, AND AN ONGOING CARE

FRONT.

THEY SAY IT IS KEY FOR THOSE

WHO HAVE BEEN VIOLATED BY THEIR

PASTOR.

THE VERY LEAST THE SBC COULD

DO WOULD BE TO CREATE A FUND TO

HELP THEM, GET THEM BACK ON

THEIR FEET BECAUSE THEY WOULD

NOT BE IN THAT SITUATION HAD A

MINISTER OF THE SOUTHERN

BAPTIST CONVENTION RAPED AND

MOLESTED THEM AND DESTROYED

THEIR FAITH.

I THINK THE REAL CRISIS FOR

US IS HOW WE HAVE RESPONDED

WHEN ABUSE DOES HAPPEN.

THE CHALLENGE HE SEES IS

REACHING THE GRASSROOTS.

WE HAVE LOCAL CHURCHES,

EVERY SINGLE LAYER OF THAT HAS

DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE NEED

TO DO TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

OTHER PASTORS, LIKE JAVIER

CHAVEZ WITH THE CONSERVATIVE

BAPTIST NETWORK, THEY ARE

ASKING TOUGH QUESTIONS, WERE

READ THAT THE DATABASE COULD

SMEAR AN INNOCENT PASTOR.

LET'S NOT MAKE IT A

DENOMINATIONAL, POLITICAL WITCH

HUNT, WHICH IS VERY COMMON IN A

SCENARIO LIKE THAT.

THE SEXUAL ABUSE TASK FORCE

SAYS ONLY THOSE CREDIBLY

ACCUSED BY -- WILL BE NAMED IN

THE DATABASE.

FOR NOW, ADVOCATES SAY THEY

WANT TO SEE HOW IT ALL PLAYS

OUT.

THEY WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT

OTHER SURVIVORS.

THE COST IS SO GREAT AND IT

IS SOMETHING A LOT OF PEOPLE DO

NOT REALIZE.

I DO THIS BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT

ANYONE TO EVER HAVE TO GO

THROUGH THE TRAUMA, THE PAIN,

THE HEARTBREAK, THE DESTRUCTION

THAT MY LIFE BECAME.

REPORTING IN AL HUNT,

CALIFORNIA, CBN NEWS.

I APPLAUD THE CONVENTION FOR

TAKING A STRONG STEP THAT

NEEDED TO BE TAKEN TO CREATE

THIS KIND OF DATABASE, TO MAKE

SURE IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN, TO

APOLOGIZE TO THE VICTIMS, TO

SAY, YES, WE ARE AROUND AND WE

CAN DO A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN,

WELL, LET'S -- CONGRATULATIONS

FOR THE REFORMATION.

> COMING UP, ONE MOMENT HE IS

PLAYING BASKETBALL AND THE

NEXT, HE IS CLINICALLY DEAD.

THIS MAN SUFFERED FROM A

WIDOWMAKER HEART ATTACK IN THE

GYM.

SEE THE SURVIVOR THAT DOCTORS

SAY IS DEFINITELY A MIRACLE.

> WE WILL PRAY FOR YOU, SO DO

NOT GO AWAY.

> THERE IS A REASON THEY CALL

IT THE WIDOWMAKER.

NINE OUT OF 10 PEOPLE WHO

SUFFER THIS KIND OF HEART

ATTACK DO NOT MAKE IT TO THE

HOSPITAL ALIVE.

SO, WHEN HE COLLAPSED, THE ODDS

WERE ALREADY STACKED AGAINST

HIM.

WHEN A NURSE SAW HIM, SHE

THOUGHT HE WAS ALREADY DEAD.

HE SAID, IS THERE MEDICAL

PERSONNEL?

I SAID, WELL, I AM A NURSE.

HIS FACE WAS PURPLE AND I

THOUGHT, OH, DEAR GOD, HE IS

DEAD.

JEFF RATANAPOOL WOKE UP

EARLY AND HEADED TO THE GYM.

WEDNESDAY MORNINGS MEANT

BASKETBALL WITH FRIENDS.

HOWEVER, THE USUAL ROUTINE

QUICKLY TURK RETURN.

AFTER PLAYING, HE FELL TO THE

GROUND UNCONSCIOUS . FRIENDS

CALL FOR HELP.

HILLARY DESKINS, RETIRED NURSE,

WAS WORKING OUT NEARBY WHEN SHE

HEARD THE CALL.

HE HAD NO PULSE AND HE HAD

NO BREATHS AND I KNEW HE WAS

CLINICALLY DEAD.

I STARTED TRYING TO DO CHEST

COMPRESSIONS AND HE WAS SO

LARGE AND BULKY.

I COULD NOT COMPRESS HIS CHEST.

I COULD NOT PUSH DOWN AS HARD

AS I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO.

SOON, HILLARY WAS HELPED BY

ONE OF JEFF'S FRIENDS AS

ANOTHER CALLED 911.

I SHOWED HIM RIGHT WHERE TO

PUT HIS HANDS AND HOW TO

INTERLACE HIS FINGERS AND USE

THE HEEL.

I SAID, JUST PUSH DOWN AS HARD

AS YOU CAN.

I REMEMBER SAYING, TRY TO BREAK

A RIB.

HE SAID, BREAK A RIB?

I SAID, HE IS DEAD ANYWAY.

THE COMPRESSIONS WERE

UNSUCCESSFUL.

SOMEONE BROUGHT HILLARY A

DEFIBRILLATOR.

I JUST HIT THE BUTTON.

THEN HE STARTED MAKING WHAT WE

CALL AGONAL SOUNDS.

HE WAS BREATHING.

HILLARY ASKED EVERYONE TO

PRAY AS JEFF REMAINED

UNCONSCIOUS.

IT WAS, OH, GOD, PLEASE.

I DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT AM

ASKING FOR, BUT PLEASE, GOD,

PLEASE.

YOUR JEFF'S FRIENDS PRAYED AS

EMS ARRIVED.

HE WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO

FASTEST HOSPITAL.

THEY CONFIRMED HE HAD SUFFERED

A WIDOWMAKER HEART ATTACK.

STUDIES SHOW THEY ARE FATAL

NEARLY 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES

OUTSIDE OF A HOSPITAL

ENVIRONMENT.

TYPICALLY, A WIDOWMAKER,

WHEN YOU REFER TO THAT, IT IS A

PROXIMAL LEFT ANTERIOR

DESCENDING OR LAD BLOCKAGE AND

THAT IS IN THE FRONT PART OF

THE ARTERY, AND BECAUSE IT

SUPPLIES SO MUCH MUSCLE OF THE

HEART, IT IS A BAD THING TO

HAPPEN.

TIME IS BRAIN FUNCTION AND IF

YOU DO NOT GET HIGH-QUALITY CPR

PRETTY QUICKLY AFTER A CARDIAC

ARREST OR GET RESUSCITATED

PRETTY QUICKLY AFTER A CARDIAC

ARREST, WITH EACH MINUTE THAT

PASSES, YOUR CHANCE OF SURVIVAL

AND YOUR CHANCE OF SURVIVING

WITH INTACT BRAIN FUNCTION GOES

DOWN ENORMOUSLY.

JEFF'S WIFE, VICKI, WAS

QUICKLY NOTIFIED.

THEIR PASTOR, STEPHEN FRASER,

REMEMBERS THAT MORNING.

VICKI WAS REALLY UPSET AND

HYSTERICAL.

I HEARD WHAT HAPPENED -- FAITH

ROSE UP ON THE INSIDE OF ME AND

I JUST SAID, JEFF IS NOT GOING

ANYWHERE.

PASTOR STEPHEN DROVE TO THE

HOSPITAL, PRAYING THE ENTIRE

WAY.

NOT WITH FEAR -- RATHER WITH

HOPE.

I WAS DECLARING THE PROMISES

OF GOD.

I FOUND MYSELF PRAYING IN THE

SPIRIT AND SINGING IN THE

SPIRIT AND REJOICING.

I WAS THANKING GOD FOR HIM AND

PRAISING GOD ALL THE WAY TO THE

HOSPITAL.

PASTOR STEPHEN FOUND HIS

PRAYERS HAD BEEN ANSWERED UPON

ARRIVAL.

JEFF WAS CONSCIOUS AND ALERT.

IT WAS LIKE NOTHING HAD

HAPPENED TO HIM.

HE WAS SITTING IN THE BED,

COMPLETELY NORMAL.

JUST BEING HIS JOLLY SELF,

REALLY.

JUST KIDDING AROUND AND ACTING

LIKE HIS BIGGEST CONCERN WAS IF

YOU MADE THE LAST SHOT OF HIS

BASKETBALL.

MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS I

LOOKED OVER AND I SAW MY WIFE

AND I SAW MY PASTOR AND I SAW

THE NURSE.

THE DOCTOR WALKED IN REMEMBER

IN MY HEAD, THINKING, OH, THIS

IS NOT GOOD.

I DID NOT REACT LIKE, OH, I HAD

A HEART ATTACK.

I REMEMBER THINKING, MAN, I

FEEL PRETTY GOOD FOR HAVING A

HEART ATTACK.

IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ALMOST

ANYWHERE ELSE, I THINK HE WOULD

HAVE DIED.

HIS CHANCES OF BEING ALIVE AND

BEING ALIVE WITH HIS FULL BRAIN

CAPACITY AND MENTAL FACULTIES

WOULD BE VERY, VERY LOW.

I THINK IT IS A MIRACLE,

DEFINITELY A MIRACLE IN THAT

SENSE.

WITHOUT A DOUBT, HE SHOULD

NOT BE HERE.

HE WAS DEAD.

IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH

ANYTHING WE DEAD.

GOD SAW FIT TO BRING HIM BACK.

IT WAS 100% GOD.

100%.

I MEAN, IT WAS TOTALLY A

MIRACLE.

JEFF MADE A FULL RECOVERY

AND IS EVEN BACK TO PLAYING

BASKETBALL WEDNESDAY MORNINGS

AT THE CHURCH.

HE AND VICKI ARE THANKFUL HE

HAS BEEN GIVEN MORE TIME AND

GIVES ALL THE CREDIT TO GOD FOR

SAVING HIS LIFE.

THE TIME I HAVE SPENT

REFLECTING ON IT, IT HAS

BROUGHT ME CLOSER TO GOD.

WHEN PEOPLE GATHER IN JESUS'

NAME, HE IS THERE.

SEEING THE POWER OF PRAYER,

PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER AND

LIFTING ME UP IN FRONT OF JESUS

AND GOD AND SAYING, PLEASE,

PLEASE TAKE CARE OF OUR

BROTHER, IT MEANS THE WORLD TO

ME.

FROM THAT DAY, AFTER HE

PERFORMED THAT MIRACLE FOR ME,

WHEN I GO FORWARD IN LIFE,

SOMETIMES WE HAVE TRIALS AND

TRIBULATIONS AND I JOKINGLY SAY

TO HIM, CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHO

YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF

THIS ONE, LORD.

HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR ME.

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR

YOU, TOO.

ONE OF THE NAMES OF GOD IS

"HEALER."

THAT CERTAINLY WAS TRUE IN

JEFF'S CASE.

TODAY, WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE

MANY OF YOU WHO ARE STRUGGLING

WITH A VARIETY OF THINGS IN

YOUR LIFE.

MAYBE IT IS NOT PHYSICAL.

IT COULD BE FINANCIAL OR IT

COULD BE EMOTIONAL OR

RELATIONAL.

GOD HEARS AND KNOWS YOUR NEEDS

AND HE IS WITH US NOW.

HE IS WITH US ALWAYS.

HE INVITES US TO PETITION HIM

WITH THE THINGS THAT AFFECT US,

THAT CONCERN US, THAT IMPACT

OUR LIVES.

WE WANT TO DO THAT TOGETHER

WITH YOU TODAY, BUT FIRST, TO

FURTHER -- BRIDGET LIVES HERE

IN FLORIDA.

SHE HAS CHRONIC PAIN IN HER

LEFT FOOT.

A LARGE MAN STEPPED ON HER FOOT

AND BROKE SEVERAL OF THE SMALL

BONES ON THE TOP OF HER FOOT.

SINCE THEN, SHE HAS CONFESSED

ISAIAH 52.

SHE IS IN FULL-TIME MINISTRY.

WATCHING THE SHOW ON JUNE 6,

GORDON SAID SOMEONE WAS BEING,

QUOTE, HEALED OF TINY BONES,

PARTICULARLY ON THE LEFT FOOT

AND THAT THEY WOULD FEEL A

TINGLING.

BRIDGET IMMEDIATELY DID FEEL A

TINGLING AND THE PAIN LEFT.

SHE COULD APPLY PRESSURE TO HER

FOOT WITHOUT PAIN AND SHE IS

PRAISING THE LORD.

HERE IS SHARON FROM ROCKY

MOUNT.

SHE EXPERIENCED HAIR LOSS AT AN

ALARMING RATE.

WATCHING THE SHOW, TERRY SAID

SOMEONE HAS A CONDITION. YOU'RE

NOT LOSING ALL OF YOUR HAIR BUT

SPOTS OF HAIR.

YOU ALMOST HAVE BALD SPOTS.

GOD IS HEALING THAT AND YOUR

HAIR WILL GROW.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO GET

THAT WORD.

CONVINCED IT WAS A WORD OF

KNOWLEDGE FROM GOD, SHE CLAIMED

HER HEALING.

OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS,

SHE WAS THRILLED TO SEE HER

HAIR GROWING AGAIN.

THAT IS A MIRACLE.

I LOVE WHAT HE SAID.

HE SAID, I'M GOING TO SEE WHAT

YOU WILL DO NEXT.

WHEN TROUBLE COMES NOW, I AM

GOING TO SEE WHAT YOU ARE GOING

TO DO NEXT.

HAVE THAT HEART.

HAVE THAT PRAYER.

HAVE THAT THOUGHT.

IF YOU ARE IN TROUBLE RIGHT

NOW, IF YOU ARE HAVING A

DISEASE RIGHT NOW, IF YOU ARE

IN PAIN RIGHT NOW, JUST REALIZE

EVEN THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE

SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO

EVIL, FOR YOU ARE WITH ME.

I AM GOING TO WALK THROUGH WITH

YOU AND I AM GOING TO SEE WHAT

IS NEXT.

YOU WILL HAVE YOUR BREAKTHROUGH

AND YOUR HEALING AND YOUR DON.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS HOLD HIS

HAND AND HOLD ON AND YOU CAN

GET THE SAME THING.

YOU JUST SAW A WONDERFUL

MIRACLE.

YOU JUST HEARD TWO MORE

MIRACLES THAT HAVE HAPPENED.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

COULD IT HAPPEN TO YOU?

THE ANSWER IS, YES.

LET'S BELIEVE.

LET'S EXPECT A MIRACLE.

LET'S ASK FOR IT AND THEN LET'S

RECEIVE IT.

PRAY WITH US.

LORD, GOD ALMIGHTY, WE COME TO

YOU.

WE COME DECLARING YOUR MERCY,

YOUR COVENANT WITH US, THE NEW

COVENANT THAT WAS MADE WITH

> STUDENT LOANS, CREDIT CARD

DEBT, AND A CAR LOAN.

DEBT, AND A CAR LOAN.

ADDED TOGETHER, JAMIE AND JENNA

WERE $100,000 IN THE HOLE.

JENNA PRAYED ABOUT IT AND GOD

GAVE FOR AN UNBELIEVABLE

PROMISE.

JAMIE AND JENNA WERE CRAZY

IN LOVE AND HORRIBLY IN DEBT.

AS THEY WERE PLANNING THEIR

FUTURE TOGETHER, THE COUPLE

TOOK A COLD, HARD LOOK AT THEIR

FINANCES.

TOTAL, COMBINED STUDENT

LOANS, AND A LITTLE BIT OF

CREDIT CARD DEBT AND A CAR

LOAN.

IT WAS AROUND $100,000.

THEY WERE BOTH WORKING AS

PART-TIME TEACHING ASSISTANT.

NEITHER JOBS PAID MORE THAN

$20,000 A YEAR.

I REMEMBER BOTH OF US ALMOST

LAUGHING AT THE MOUNTAIN OF

DEBT THAT WE KNEW WE WERE

UNDER.

UNSURE OF WHAT TO DO NEXT,

JENNA PRAYED ABOUT THE DEAD AND

THE FUTURE MARRIAGE.

SHE SAYS, THAT IS WHEN GOD MADE

HER AN UNBELIEVABLE PROMISE.

THAT IS ONE SHE IMMEDIATELY

SHARED WITH HER FIANCC

JESUS IS NOW SAYING THAT US,

AS A COUPLE, ARE GOING TO BE

DEBT-FREE IN FIVE YEARS.

I WAS LIKE, YOU HAVE TO BE

KIDDING.

THERE IS NO WAY THAT IS

POSSIBLE.

THE COUPLE MAPPED OUT A PLAN

TO PAY OFF THEIR DEBT.

THEY CREATED A BUDGET BASED ON

THEIR LIMITED INCOME AND ALSO

DECIDED THEIR FIRST EXPENSE

WOULD BE TITHING.

I KNEW IT WAS SOMETHING THAT

WOULD HONOR GOD AND SOMETHING

HE CALLS US TO DO.

WHEN I HEARD THE IDEA OF

TITHING BEING 10% OF HER

INCOME, I WAS LIKE, THAT IS A

LOT OF MONEY EVERY MONTH.

A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THEIR

WEDDING, BUT THE JAMIE AND

JENNA WERE OFFERED FULL-TIME

TEACHING POSITIONS.

WITH JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO,

BEFORE THE BIG DAY, THEY GOT

BAD NEWS.

THEIR SCHOOL HAD NOT BEEN

TAKING OUT THE STATE-MANDATED

RETIREMENT DEDUCTION.

TO MAKE UP FOR THE SHORTFALL,

BOTH JAMIE AND JENNA HAD THEIR

PAYCHECKS SLASHED.

THEY WERE REALLY RETAKING

HALF OF EACH OF OUR SALARY OUT

OF EVERY PAYCHECK FOR THE NEXT

SIX PAY PERIODS.

IT FELT LIKE A GUT PUNCH.

WE HAD BEEN WORKING SO HARD.

NOW, THEY WOULD HAVE TO MAKE

DO WITH EVEN LESS THAN THEY HAD

PLANNED.

THE COUPLE WENT ON WITH THE

WEDDING AND, DESPITE THEIR

LIMITED INCOME, JAMIE AND JENNA

HELD ONTO THEIR PROMISE FROM

GOD AND STUCK WITH HER PLAN TO

TITHE.

FOR THE FIRST YEAR OR TWO,

WE STRUGGLED WITH THE IDEA OF

BEING SO RESTRICTED IN

SACRIFICING THINGS AND NOT

DOING THE THINGS WE SAW OUR

FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND

COMMUNITY DOING.

THEY PICKED UP SIDE JOBS

ALONG THE WAY AND CONTINUED TO

TITHE OFF OF WHAT THEY EARNED

AND A CREDIT THAT FOR HELPING

THEM GET THROUGH THOSE LEAN

MONTHS.

12 WEEKS AGO, WE HAD HAD A

PAYCHECK.

12 WEEKS LATER, YOU KNOW, FAST-

FORWARD, WE GOT THROUGH THAT

STRESSOR AND WE DO NOT HAVE TO

DIP INTO OUR SAVINGS AT ALL.

I THINK CONTINUALLY BEING

HUMBLE ENOUGH TO SAY, YES, THAT

JESUS HAS BIGGER PLANS FOR US

THEN WE COULD DO FOR OURSELVES,

I THINK IT IS A BIG PART OF

WHAT TITHING IS AND HOW JESUS

CAN REALLY TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE.

THEY CONTINUED TO CHIP AWAY

AT THEIR DEBT.

THE SCHOOL STOPPED GARNISHING

THEIR WAGES AND THEY EVEN

EARNED PALE RAGES.

HE WILL PROVIDE FOR YOU.

ALL HE IS LOOKING FOR IS FOR

YOU TO SAY, YES, HIS PROMISE,

YOU FIND IT IN THE GOSPEL OF

LUKE 6. GIVEN IT WILL BE GIVEN

UNTO YOU.

YOU PUT IT INTO MOTION AND SAY,

OKAY, I WILL GIVE AND IT WILL

BE GIVEN UNTO YOU.

NOT JUST GIVING A LITTLE BIT.

IT WILL BE PRESSED DOWN AND

SHAKEN TOGETHER, RUNNING OVER

AND POURED INTO YOUR LAP.

HERE IS THE KEY.

FOR WITH THE MEASURE YOU USE,

IT WILL BE MEASURED BACK TO

YOU.

WHEN YOU TITHE, WHEN YOU SAY,

I'M COMMITTING MY FIRSTFRUITS,

THAT 10%, WHEN YOU TITHE,

WONDERFUL THINGS CAN HAPPEN.

IT IS AMAZING HOW GOD WANTS TO

PROVIDE FOR HIS CHILDREN.

IT IS AMAZING HOW HE USES

UNUSUAL THINGS TO DO IT.

HERE ARE TWO TEACHERS, LIVING

OFF OF TEACHER SALARIES AND GOD

MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO

GET COMPLETELY OUT OF DEBT.

WONDERFUL THINGS HAPPEN WHEN

YOU SAY YES, I WILL GIVE.

DO NOT DO IT IN EXPECTING THE

RETURN.

GIVE BECAUSE YOU WANT TO,

BECAUSE YOU ARE CHEERFUL ABOUT

IT AND YOU WANT TO BE GENEROUS

BECAUSE THAT IS HOW GOD IS.

HE IS SO GENEROUS AND SO LOVED

THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY

BEGOTTEN SON.

WHEN WE BECOME GIVERS, WE

BECOME JUST LIKE HIM.

IF YOU WANT TO START A LIFE OF

GIVING, THIS IS NOT A ONE-TIME

THING AND IT IS NOT AN ON AND

OFF AGAIN THING.

COMMITMENT, GIVE US A CALL AND

SAY, YES, I WANT TO BE A CBN

> COMING UP NEXT, WE ARE

ANSWERING SOME OF THE QUESTIONS

YOU ASKED US ON FACEBOOK.

IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE LORD BUT

DO NOT READ THE BIBLE AND DO

NOT GO TO CHURCH, WILL YOU

STILL GO TO HEAVEN?

WE HAVE MUCH MORE.

DO NOT GO AWAY.

> WE LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

YOU RIDE US ON FACEBOOK AND WE

LIKE TO ANSWER SOME OF THE

QUESTIONS YOU SEND IN.

THIS ONE COMES FROM PAMELA, WHO

SAYS IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE LORD

BUT DO NOT READ THE BIBLE AND

DO NOT GO TO CHURCH, WILL YOU

STILL GO TO HEAVEN?

ALL WHO CALL UPON THE NAME

OF THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.

IT IS NOT BASED ON WORKS . YOU

DO NOT WORK FOR YOUR SALVATION.

WHAT YOU JUST DESCRIBED ABOUT

AM I READING THE BIBLE ENOUGH

OR GOING TO CHURCH ENOUGH, IT

IS -- IT IS GOOD TO DO THOSE

THINGS.

IT IS GOOD FOR YOU AND GOOD TO

HAVE FELLOWSHIP.

IS READING THE BIBLE GOOD?

YES.

IT RENEWS YOUR MIND AND IT

CALLS YOU INTO ACCOUNT AND ALSO

INSPIRES YOU TO DO EVEN MORE,

TO SAY, WITH GOD, ALL THINGS

ARE POSSIBLE.

BUT THE BASIC OF SALVATION,

@JESUS DIED FOR YOU.

IF YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART

THAT HE DIED FOR YOU, THAT HE

IS THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST, THE

PROMISED MESSIAH, YOU BELIEVE

HE WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD.

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT WITH YOUR

HEART, CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH,

YOU SHALL BE SAVED.

IT IS THAT EASY.

THIS IS NANCY, WHO SAYS I

KNOW I AM SAVED.

WHEN I HAVE A SPIRIT BODY IN

HEAVEN, WILL I BE CALLED NANCY,

WHICH IS MY NAME NOW?

NANCY, I AM WONDERING -- IT

IS NOT BIG ON MY CONCERNS BUT

MAYBE YOU CAN GET CALL WHATEVER

YOU WANT.

I DO KNOW GOD HAS A TENDENCY TO

RENAME PEOPLE.

ABRAHAM BECAME -- SIMON BECAME

PETER.

SAUL BECAME PAUL.

JACOB BECAME ISRAEL.

YOU KNOW, HE HAD A CUTE NAME

FOR HIS DISCIPLES.

HE CALLED SOME OF THEM THE SONS

OF THUNDER.

IF GOD WANTS TO RENAME ME, BE

MY GUEST.

YOU KNOW, IF I AM IN HEAVEN,

YOU CAN SAY, HEY, YOU, AND I

WILL BE OKAY WITH THAT.

IT MIGHT BE UP TO YOU.

IT MIGHT BE UP TO GOD AND I

WILL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT.

OKAY.

SHE SAYS, WOULD YOU EXPLAIN

WHAT THE WORD "GLORY" MEANS?

THEY TALKED ABOUT GOD'S GLORY

AND THE GLORY OF THE SON OF GOD

AND OUR GLORY, BUT WHAT DOES

THAT MEAN?

IT MEANS THE EVIDENCE OF

GOD, THE UNMISTAKABLE EVIDENCE

OF GOD AND ALSO IT CAN MEAN THE

TRANSFIGURATION.

JESUS, TALKING TO ONE OF THE

SISTERS OF LAZARUS, DID I NOT

TELL YOU IF YOU BELIEVED, YOU

WOULD SEE THE GLORY OF GOD?

HE WAS TALKING SPECIFICALLY

ABOUT THE EVIDENCE, THAT IT

WOULD BE THE RESURRECTION OF

HER BROTHER.

SO, THE SIGNS ARE EVIDENCE OF

THE GLORY.

AT THE SAME TIME, YOU HAVE THE

MOUNT OF TRANSFIGURATION, WHERE

JESUS WAS TRANSFORMED AND WITH

HIM WAS ELIJAH AND MOSES IN

THEIR GLORY AND THE DISCIPLES

WERE ALL STRUCK BY IT.

PAUL SAW THE GLORY OF JESUS ON

THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS.

HE HAD A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.

IT STRUCK HIM BLIND.

SO, THINK OF IT THIS WAY.

HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE A SUNRISE

TO THE BLIND?

YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE COLORS.

YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE HEAT AND

TALK ABOUT THE WONDERFUL

THINGS, THE SUNLIGHT AND HOW IT

WARMS THE WHOLE EARTH, BUT CAN

YOU REALLY DESCRIBE IT?

THE ANSWER IS NO.

WHEN YOU HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE,

IT IS UNFORGETTABLE.

ANYONE WHO HAS HAD A VISION OF

THE LORD, IT IS UNDESCRIBABLE

BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE

THAT EXPERIENCE AND HOW DO YOU

EXPLAIN IT TO THEM?

SO, ANTICIPATE IT AND EXPECT IT

AND ONE DAY YOU WILL SEE IT.

CRYSTAL WANTS TO KNOW HOW DO

I HEAR FROM THE LORD THE WAY

YOU AND TERRY DO?

ASK FOR IT.

THAT IS TRUE.

IT IS THAT SIMPLE.

JESUS SAID IT VERY PLAINLY.

SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND AND

KNOCK AND IT WILL BE OPENED TO

YOU . WHEN YOU ASK FOR MORE OF

THE HOLY SPIRIT, IT PLEASES GOD

AND HE WANTS TO.

FOR ME, AND DOING A LOT OF

DIFFERENT TRAINING ON HOW TO

ACTIVATE THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY

SPIRIT, ONE OF THE HARDEST

THINGS TO DO IS TO EXPLAIN TO

PEOPLE YOU ALREADY HAVE IT.

MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE.

THESE ARE THE WORDS OF JESUS.

SO, THAT STILL, SMALL VOICE

THAT IS WITH YOU, THAT IS IN

YOU, THAT IS IN YOUR INNERMOST

BEING, THAT IS THE VOICE OF THE

LORD AND WHEN YOU ASK HIM

QUESTIONS, WHAT DO YOU WANT --

COULD YOU USE ME?

COULD YOU USE ME TO GIVE A

WORD?

HOW CAN I GIVE A WORD OF

COMFORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO

THE PERSON I AM NEXT TO?

YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE ONE OF YOUR

THOUGHTS TOWARDS ME?

THESE ARE JUST WONDERFUL

QUESTIONS TO ASK.

SO ASK AND SEEK AND KNOCK AND

IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU.

HERE IS A WORD FROM PSALMS 20.

AND TIMES OF TROUBLE, MAY THE

LORD ANSWER YOUR CRY AND MAY

THE NAME OF THE GOD OF JACOB

KEEP YOU SAFE FROM ALL HARM.

GOD BLESS AND WE WILL SEE YOU
