I WAS THE MOMENT THAT I KNEW

THAT WAS CALLED

TO MUSIC. AND THAT'S

SPECIFICALLY MUSIC FOR WHY HIS

GLORY ON TODAY'S 700 CLUB.

WELCOME TO THE

700 CLUB HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY

PELOSI IS EXPECTED TRIP

TO TAIWAN CONTINUES TO DIAL UP

THE DRAMA.

CHINA'S PRESIDENT HAS

THREATENED SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES

WILL FOLLOW HER

VISIT SAYING THOSE WHO PLAY

WITH FIRE WILL PERISH BY IT.

SPEAKER PELOSI WOULD BE THE

HIGHEST RANKING US OFFICIAL TO

VISIT TAIWAN. IN

25 YEARS. HER PRESENCE THERE

WOULD PUSH U.S. CHINA RELATIONS

TOPUSH U.S.

-CHINA RELATIONS TO THE BRINK.

CAITLIN BURKE IS FOLLOWING THIS

STORY.

Reporter: THE NEW MESSAGE

FROM THE WHITE HOUSE IS THAT

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION

SUPPORTS HER VISIT TO TAIWAN.

COUNSEL COORDINATORS FOR

COMMUNICATION SAY THERE IS

NOTHING NEW ABOUT THEM VISITING

THE ISLAND.

THERE IS NO REASON FOR

BEIJING TO TURN A POTENTIAL

VISIT, CONSISTENT WITH LONG-

STANDING U.S. POLICY, INTO SOME

SORT OF CRISIS OR CONFLICTS, OR

TO USE IT AS A PRETEXT TO

INCREASE AGGRESSIVE MILITARY

ACTIVITY IN OR AROUND THE

TAIWAN STRAIT.

Reporter: SHE ALSO HAS

BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FROM

REPUBLICANS PRAISED HER LONG-

STANDING OPPOSITION TO THE

HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES OF BEIJING

AND DETERMINATION TO SUPPORT

TAIWAN.

I DISAGREE WITH HIERONYMUS

EVERY ISSUE AND I WILL NOT BE

SAD TO SEE HER GO, COME NEXT

CONGRESS.

ON THIS ISSUE, SHE HAS A LONG

TRACK RECORD GOING BACK TO

TIANANMEN SQUARE, BEING WILLING

TO CRITICIZE THE CHINESE

COMMUNIST PARTY IN STANDING UP

FOR TAIWAN.

Reporter: CUT TRAVEL

COINCIDES WITH THE ANNIVERSARY

OF THE FOUNDING OF THE PEOPLE'S

LIBERATION ARMY.

OVER THE WEEKEND, BEIJING SENT

A MESSAGE BY CONDUCTING LIVE

FIRE MILITARY DRILLS OFF ITS

COAST, JUST ACROSS FROM TAIWAN.

MONDAY, CHINA'S FOREIGN

MINISTRY SPOKESMAN MADE CLEAR

OF THE SPEAKER VISITS TAIWAN

COME IT WILL LEAD TO, QUOTE, A

VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND

CONSEQUENCES.

WHILE NOT PROVIDING SPECIFICS

AS TO THOSE CONSEQUENCES, HE

SAID THE PEOPLE'S LIBERATION

ARMY WILL NOT SIT BY IDLY.

THIS IS PART OF WHAT CHINA

CALLS IS WOLF OF DIPLOMACY,

WHERE IT IMITATES, BADGERS,

MANIPULATES, ALL TO GET WHAT IT

WANTS PEER

Reporter: PRESIDENT JOE

BIDEN'S BUT WITH XI JINPING FOR

OVER TWO HOURS LAST WEEK.

ACCORDING TO A STATEMENT FROM

BEIJING, IN REFERENCE TO

TAIWAN, PRESIDENT XI WARNED HIM

THAT THOSE WHO PLAY WITH FIRE

WILL PERISH BY IT.

IN SOME MEANINGFUL SENSE,

THE INVASION OF TAIWAN HAS

ALREADY BEGUN.

THIS IS PART OF IT.

THEY ARE PREPARING THE BATTLE

SPACE, TRYING TO MAKE US AFRAID

AND TO CONVINCE THE TAIWANESE

THEY CANNOT COUNT ON US AND WE

NEED TO STAND UP TO THAT

GROWING AGGRESSION.

Reporter: THE KREMLIN IS

WEIGHING IN, ADDING A WARNING

OF ITS OWN AGAINST THE U.S.

PROVOKING CHINA.

THE SPEAKER -- ECONOMIC

PARTNERSHIP AND DEMOCRATIC

GOVERNANCE.

THE ADMINISTRATION SAYS

CHINA IS LIKELY TO ESCALATE ITS

WARNINGS.

WHAT STEPS MIGHT THEY TAKE?

Reporter: IN A BRIEFING,

KIRBY TOLD REPORTERS THAT SOME

OF THE RESPONSES THEY ARE

EXPECTING COULD INCLUDE

MISSILES FIRED NEAR TAIWAN,

LARGE-SCALE AIR OR NAVAL

ACTIVITY, OR WHETHER OR NOT THE

TAIWANESE STRAIGHT IS TRULY

INTERNATIONAL WATER.

THE WHITE HOUSE DID SAY THEY

WOULD CONTINUE TO BE

TRANSPARENT WITH AMERICANS,

EVEN AS MORE RHETORIC IS

EXPECTED FROM CHINA.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THE U.S.

RESPONSE TO BE?

HOW WOULD THEY RESPOND TO

CHINA'S THREATS?

Reporter: THE MILITARY HAS

NOT DETAILED THE PRECAUTIONS

THEY HAVE TAKEN.

ONLY THAT THEY HAVE DONE SO.

WE DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE TWO

SHIPS OPERATING IN THE REGION.

THE USS REAGAN AND THE U.S. AS

TRIPOLI.

IN OTHER NEWS, THEY KILLED I

CAUGHT HIS TOP LEADER. HE WAS

OSAMA BIN LADEN'S DEPUTY ON

911.

WE HAVE THAT STORY FROM OUR CBN

NEWSBUREAU IN WASHINGTON.

> PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN

ANNOUNCING AYMAN AL-ZAWAHIRI'S

DEATH TO THE NATION, MAKING A

PROMISE TO OTHER ENEMIES OF

AMERICA.

IF YOU ARE A THREAT TO OUR

PEOPLE, WE WILL FIND YOU AND

TAKE YOU OUT.

THEY USED TWO MISSILES TO

KILL HIM AS HE STEPPED ONTO THE

BALCONY OF HIS SAFE HOUSE IN

ABUL.

THERE WERE NO CIVILIAN

CASUALTIES AND PRAISE U.S.

INTELLIGENCE FOR TRACKING AND

CONFIRMING HIS LOCATION.

THEY PLAN TO THE 9/11 ATTACKS.

HIS PRESENCE IN AN NEIGHBORHOOD

HERE IS RAISING QUESTIONS WHERE

THE TALIBAN HAD PROMISED THEY

WOULD NOT HARBOR TERRORIST LIKE

AL QAEDA MEMBERS IN TERMS SENT

FROM WITHDRAWAL FROM

AFGHANISTAN.

> VOTERS WILL GO TO THE POLLS

FOR THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS.

THE PRIMARIES IN SEVERAL STATES

WILL DETERMINE WHO IS RUNNING

IN NOVEMBER.

MANY ARE LOOKING TO ARIZONA,

WHERE THE GOVERNOR'S TRADE

COULD BE A BELLWETHER FOR

REPUBLICANS.

MATT GALKA REPORTS.

BOTH CANDIDATES IN THE

PRIMARY FOR GOVERNOR ARE

FEUDING OVER WHICH ONE CARRIES

THE TRUE REPUBLICAN BANNER.

BELOW THE SURFACE, IT IS SEEN

AS A HIGH-STAKES BATTLE BETWEEN

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S MAC A

MOVEMENT AND THE TRADITIONAL

REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT.

YOU ARE GOING TO ELECT A

TRULY GREAT WOMAN, WHO I HAVE

GOTTEN TO KNOW VERY WELL, KARI

LAKE, AS YOUR NEXT GOVERNOR.

Reporter: MEET THIS TV NEWS

ANCHOR THAT GOT THE COVETED

ENDORSEMENT.

SHE STOOD SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH THE

FORMER PRESIDENT IN ARIZONA IN

THE RUN UP TO THE STATE'S

PRIMARY.

NO ONE UNDERSTANDS BETTER

THAN HER HOW TO FIGHT BACK

AGAINST THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA AND

THE RADICAL LEFT.

THEY ARE PARTNERS.

DO WE LOVE THIS MAN OR WHAT?

THEY ARE LIKELY FAMILIAR

WITH HER FROM DECADES AS A

NEWSCASTER.

HER ARRIVAL INTO THE PRIMARY --

SHE HAS CLOSED THAT GAP WITH AD

SPENDING AND THE BACKING OF THE

MORE TRADITIONAL WING OF THE

PARTY.

WHILE LAKE APPEARED WITH TRUMP,

MIKE PENCE AND KARRIN TAYLOR

ROBSON AND DOUG DUCEY ARE HERE.

I AM HERE BECAUSE ARIZONA

AND AMERICA NEED KARRIN TAYLOR

ROBSON AS THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF

ARIZONA.

MIKE PENCE HAS LED AND

LIVED HIS CONSERVATIVE VALUES.

BOY, DO WE MISS HIM IN OFFICE

RIGHT NOW.

Reporter: ARIZONA HAS BEEN A

FOCAL POINT OF THE ELECTION

ALLEGATIONS, LEADING TO A HIGH-

PROFILE AUDIT THAT TURNED UP NO

EVIDENCE OF WRONGDOING.

THOUGH THEY BOTH BELIEVE THERE

WERE ISSUES WITH THE ELECTION

RESULTS, THEY ALSO ACCUSE EACH

OTHER OF BEING A FAKE

REPUBLICAN WHILE POINTING TO

PAST DEMOCRATIC TIES.

SO, WHERE ARE ARIZONA VOTERS

HEADING?

WHAT WAS ONCE A COMPETITIVE

RACE BETWEEN KARI LAKE AND

KARRIN TAYLOR ROBSON SHOWS THAT

KARI LAKE IS MORE FAVORABLE.

Reporter: ONE PROMINENT

POLLING FIRM HAS LAKE

DOMINATING BY DOUBLE DIGITS.

IF IT WAS BASED ON THE

AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT ON TV,

KARRIN TAYLOR ROBSON SHOULD BE

CARRYING THE DAY, BUT IT IS

NOT.

LAKE IS CLEARLY BREAKING AWAY

AND I THINK IT IS A NEW WORLD

EVER SINCE TRUMP CAME ON BOARD

AND THIS BATTLE IN THE GOP --

RIGHT NOW, TROUBLED FOLKS HAVE

THE UPPER HAND.

WHILE THAT MIGHT JUST BE ONE

POLE COME OTHERS HAVE FEATURED

LEAK LAKE IN THE LEAD.

SHE HAS ALLEGED FRAUD BUT HAS

DECLINED TO GET INTO SPECIFICS.

MATT GALKA, CBN NEWS.

IT IS LOOKING LIKE A PROXY

BATTLE BETWEEN TRUMP AND PENCE

FOR THE FUTURE DIRECTION OF THE

GOP.

I WOULD NOT READ INTO JUST

MUCH ONE ELECTION.

WE WILL MOVE FORWARD.

I THINK THE BIGGER ELECTION IS

THE ONE GOING ON IN KANSAS,

WHERE THE VOTERS ARE DECIDING

WHAT THEIR STATE CONSTITUTION

SAYS ABOUT ABORTION.

THEY RULED ABORTION IS SOMEHOW

GUARANTEED BY THEIR STATE

CONSTITUTION, SO WE WILL SEE

WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE CHANGES

TODAY.

THAT VOTE IS GOING TO BE VERY

IMPORTANT TO THE RIGHT TO LIFE

MOVEMENT.

> A SHORT FUSE AND A VOLATILE

TEMPER.

EVERYONE KNEW NOT TO CROSS THIS

MAN.

WATCH WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HIS

WIFE GETS TIRED OF WALKING ON

EGGSHELLS AND A MARRIAGE

COUNSELOR TELLS HER TO LEAVE

THIS CAVEMAN.

> SHE ONCE WANTED TO BE AN

ASTRONAUT.

C WHAT IS BEHIND HER SONG "MY

JESUS" RIGHT AFTER THIS.

> SHE IS -- SHE SET HER

> SHE IS -- SHE SET HER

SIGHTS ON A MUSIC CAREER BUT

BEFORE THAT, SHE WANTED TO BE

AN ASTRONAUT.

SHE SPOKE ABOUT THE TRAGEDY

THAT CHANGED THE COURSE OF HER

LIFE.

YOU JUST RECEIVED TWO K-LOVE

AWARDS.

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.


THIS IS GOING TO IMPACT SO

MANY PEOPLE.

I AM SO GRATEFUL.

YOU ARE NOT EVEN THINKING OF

A CAREER?

NO, NOT AT ALL.

I WANTED TO BE AN ASTRONAUT AND

WORK FOR NASA.

I HAD A DEEP LOVE FOR SPACE.

I WANTED TO EXPLORE GOD'S

CREATION.

I WAS PURSUING WANTING TO BE AN

ASTRONAUT.

THAT WAS MY PASSION.

IN 2017, FIVE YEARS AGO, MY BIG

BROTHER JACOB PASSED AWAY IN A

CAR ACCIDENT.

HE WAS 23 YEARS OLD.

THAT IS THE MOMENT THAT CHANGED

EVERYTHING.

I REALIZED THAT THERE IS SUCH A

SHORT LIFE THAT WE LIVE HERE ON

EARTH AND THE IMPORTANCE OF

FOLLOWING JESUS AND TELLING

PEOPLE ABOUT HIM AND HIS LOVE.

I NEVER WANTED SOMEONE TO HAVE

TO LOSE A LOVED ONE AND KNOW

THAT THEY DID NOT GO TO HEAVEN.

THAT WAS SUCH A HEAVYWEIGHT.

THAT WAS THE MOMENT THAT I KNEW

I WAS CALLED TO MUSIC,

SPECIFICALLY MUSIC FOR THE LORD

AND HIS GLORY.

SO, CRAZY STORY, HOW IT ALL

TURNED OUT.

THIS IS -- THIS SONG CAME

FROM --

RIGHT AFTER MY BROTHER

PASSED AWAY, I STARTED

JOURNALING.

I WOULD RIDE DOWN THE DATE AND

RIDE DOWN AT THE END OF EACH

DAY THAT GOD HAD GOTTEN ME

THROUGH ANOTHER DAY.

I WANTED TO PROVE TO MYSELF

THAT I WAS GOING TO SURVIVE THE

TRAGEDY BECAUSE -- I SURE IF

YOU HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE OR

YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH ANYTHING

THAT IS REALLY HARD, THERE ARE

TIMES YOU WANT TO GIVE UP

COMPLETELY.

SO MANY DAYS, I WANTED TO GIVE

UP AND GO TO HEAVEN AND BE WITH

JESUS AND JACOB.

I WOULD FIND MYSELF THAT, IN

THOSE MOMENTS OF WANTING TO

GIVE UP, CHOOSING NOT TO GIVE

UP WAS SO IMPORTANT.

I NOTICED THAT I HAD ONLY

REFERRED TO THE LORD AS "MY

JESUS," LIKE YOU WOULD NEVER

FIND -- I WOULD SAY, I LOVE

YOU, MY JESUS.

I JUST REMEMBER HAVING THIS

MOMENT OF REALIZING, WHY IS IT

I'VE ONLY EVER WRITTEN MY

JESUS?

I FELT THE LORD SPEAK TO ME AND

SAY, BECAUSE IT IS THE TRUTH.

YOU ARE MINE AND I YOURS AND

YOU HAVE A PERSONAL

RELATIONSHIP.

THIS IS WHAT FLOWS OUT OF

EVERYTHING ELSE.

THIS IS CALLED "MY JESUS."

TELL ME THE STORY BEHIND IT.

SUNDAY SERMONS IS MY CURRENT

SINGLE.

I GREW UP IN CHURCH MY WHOLE

LIFE.

I WAS RAISED IN AN INCREDIBLE

CHRISTIAN FAMILY.

MY PARENTS ARE AMAZING.

I KNEW THE LORD FROM A YOUNG

AGE, KNEW OF HIM, BUT I DID NOT

COME TO KNOW HIM UNTIL THE

SEVENTH GRADE CAMORRA ACTUALLY

ACCEPTED HIM AS MY LORD AND

SAVIOR.

I REMEMBER REALIZING THAT GOD

USED EVERY SUNDAY SERMON, EVERY

CHURCH SERVICE, TO PLANT SEEDS

IN MY LIFE.

SUNDAY SERMONS WAS A REMINDER

TO PEOPLE, THAT YOU ARE

PLANTING SEEDS ALONG THE WAY.

IF YOU ARE RAISING YOUR KIDS IN

CHURCH, KEEP DOING IT BECAUSE

THE LORD HAS A PLAN FOR THAT.

HE IS GOING TO USE THAT.

IT FELT LIKE THE RIGHT NEXT

SONG AND THE RIGHT NEXT SINGLE.

I LOVE THE COUNTRY ASPECT OF

IT.

IT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE NEVER

DONE BEFORE.

YOU ARE SINGING -- BUT YOU

ARE ALSO INTO SONGWRITING?

MY SISTER WROTE A SONG ABOUT

THE GRIEF OF LOSING OUR

BROTHER.

RIDING WAS SOMETHING THAT DID

NOT COME EASY TO ME.

I FEEL LIKE MOST ARTISTS --

RIDING IS THAT EVERYTHING EVER

AND THEY ARE SUPER GOOD AT IT

AND PASSIONATE AT IT.

I NEVER REALLY WAS UNTIL OVER

THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

THAT IS HOW IT STARTED SLOWLY,

YOU KNOW, GETTING DEVELOPED.

THIS IS SOMETHING I HAD TO WORK

AT AND GET BETTER AT.

ONE THING ABOUT JACOB WAS HE

HAD THIS PERSPECTIVE ON PEOPLE.

I NEVER MET ANYONE ELSE THAT

HAS HAD THIS.

I WOULD BE HAVING A HARD DAY

AND SOMEONE WOULD FRUSTRATE ME

AND I WOULD BE LIKE, HEY, THIS

PERSON DID THIS AND THAT HE

WOULD SAY, WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT

THEY ARE WALKING THROUGH IN

THEIR LIFE.

WE ARE NOT TO JUDGE OR TO TALK

ABOUT PEOPLE.

I REMEMBER THAT IMPACTING ME

UNTIL THIS DAY.

TO LOVE PEOPLE LIKE JESUS

LOVES, TO BE KIND TO PEOPLE

LIKE HE IS KIND TO OTHERS.

I KNOW THAT IN MY HEART HE

WOULD BE SO PROUD AND EXCITED

AND I FULLY BELIEVE THAT HE IS

IN A GREAT CLOUD OF WITNESSES

AND THAT HE CAN SEE WHAT IS

GOING ON AND I KNOW HE IS

WATCHING OVER ME.

WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY.

HE WANTED TO BE AN ASTRONAUT

AND NOW SHE IS A SINGER.

ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL?

HER DEBUT ALBUM IS CALLED "MY

JESUS."

LET ME TELL YOU WHERE IT COMES

FROM.

MOSES SAID IT.

HE SAID YAHWEH HAS BECOME MY

SALVATION.

IN THE ORIGINAL HEBREW, IT IS

YESHUA, WHICH MEANS "MY JESUS."

IT IS AVAILABLE ON CD AND FOR

DIGITAL DOWNLOAD WHEREVER MUSIC

IS SOLD.

> A 2-YEAR-OLD IS DECLARED

BRAIN-DEAD AND HIS DAD TAKES A

VISIT TO HEAVEN.

FIND OUT WHAT HE SAW AND HEARD

AND SEE HOW IT COMPLETELY

CHANGED HIS LIFE.

> DARIN WAS THE CONSUMMATE

TOUGH GUY THAT HAD A CHIP ON

HIS SHOULDER.

ONE DAY, TRAGEDY STRUCK AND

LATER THAT EVENING, HE WAS

INSTANTLY TRANSPORTED TO

HEAVEN.

WHEN HE CAME BACK TO EARTH, HE

WAS NEVER THE SAME.

I WAS JUST A TOUGHER DUDE

AND I HAD A SHORT FUSE.

I WOULD NOT REALLY CONSIDER

MYSELF AN ANGRY PERSON, LIKE,

WALKING AROUND ANGRY ALL THE

TIME.

PEOPLE HAD TO BE RESPECTFUL.

IF THEY DID NOT, I WOULD TAKE

THEM BY THE THROAT.

DARIN HAMM NEVER UNDERSTOOD

WHY PEOPLE ANGERED HIM SO

EASILY.

RAISED IN A LOVING HIM, HE WAS

CONSTANTLY GETTING INTO FIGHTS

AS A BOY.

THEN, TAKING OVER HIS FAMILY'S

STRUGGLING SANITATION BUSINESS

AT 19 AND DEALING WITH GREEDY,

DECEITFUL CUSTOMERS MADE IT

WORSE.

THAT IS WHEN I LEARNED ABOUT

THE DARK SIDE OF PEOPLE.

THE WAY THEY WILL ATTACK,

BELITTLE, AND DEMEAN YOU.

BUT I WAS RIGHT AND EVERYBODY

ELSE WAS WRONG.

IS A VOLATILE NATURE WOULD

SPILL INTO OTHER AREAS OF HIS

LIFE.

AT 26 YEARS OLD, HE MARRIED JEN

AND STARTED A FAMILY.

AS LONG AS NO ONE CROSSED HIM,

HE WAS FINE.

HE NEVER GOT PHYSICAL WITH

ME.

HE MOSTLY WAS JUST SO VOLATILE.

HE WOULD LOSE IT, LOSE HIS

TEMPER.

EVERYONE KNEW YOU COULD SAY THE

WRONG THING TO DARIN AND IT IS

GOING TO BE A PROBLEM.

Reporter: AS THEIR FAMILY

GREW, JEN, WHO WAS RAISED

CATHOLIC, WANTED TO RECONNECT

WITH GOD.

HE STARTED GOING TO CHURCH,

HOPING IT WOULD HELP THEIR

MARRIAGE, YET DARIN WANTED

NOTHING TO DO WITH JESUS, THE

CHURCH, OR THE PEOPLE IN IT.

I WOULD TELL HER SHE IS

CHASING AN INVISIBLE MAN.

DARIN, FOR BUSINESS, FELT

LIKE THE CHRISTIANS WERE THE

ONE BEING THE WORST HIM.

HE DID NOT LIKE HIM BY PERCY.

IT REALLY TURNED HIM OFF THE

CHURCH.

OVER THE YEARS, SHE GREW

TIRED OF WALKING ON EGGSHELLS

AROUND HER HUSBAND.

I WAS VERY UNHAPPY AND OUR

MARRIAGE.

I DEFINITELY CONSIDER GETTING A

DIVORCE.

IN 2009, SHE CONVINCED DARIN

TO GO TO MARRIAGE COUNSELING.

I WAS OBLIVIOUS.

I WAS SO SELF ABSORBED THAT I

DID NOT RECOGNIZE ANY ISSUES IN

OUR MARRIAGE.

I DID NOT SEE THE PROBLEM AND I

DID NOT WANT TO CHANGE.

IT TURNED INTO A BIG FIGHT

ABOUT IT.

AFTER TWO YEARS OF

COUNSELING, DARIN STOPPED

GOING.

A SHORT TIME LATER, THE

THERAPIST TOOK GENOCIDE.

HE WAS LIKE, LOOK, I'M A

CHRISTIAN COUNSELOR AND YOU

SHOULD LEAVE YOUR HUSBAND.

HE IS A CAVEMAN.

IT WAS A GUT PUNCH TO ME AT THE

TIME BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, NO, I

NEED HELP.

SHE DECIDED TO STAY FOR

THEIR TWO BOYS.

I WAS PRETTY MUCH ACCEPTING

I WILL JUST HAVE TO LIVE THIS

LIFE OF MISERY AND THAT IS HOW

IT IS GOING TO BE.

IN 2011, GRIFFIN, THEN TWO

YEARS OLD, DEVELOPED SUDDEN

BREATHING PROBLEMS.

WITHIN DAYS, HE WAS

HOSPITALIZED AND IN CARDIAC

DISTRESS.

THERE WAS LITTLE DOCTORS COULD

DO.

SITTING BY GRIFFIN'S HOSPITAL

BED, DARIN BEGAN TO HOPE THAT

MAYBE JESUS EXISTED AFTER ALL.

I WAS IN SUCH DESPERATION

THAT IF THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY

OF THAT BEING TRUE, I WOULD

EXHAUST ALL POSSIBILITIES.

FOUR DAYS LATER, DOCTORS

DECLARED GRIFFIN BRAIN-DEAD.

I FELT WEEK.

I FELT, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN

MY LIFE, THAT I WAS NOT TOUGH

ENOUGH.

SHE SPENT MOST OF HER DAY

HOLDING GRIFFIN AND SAYING

GOODBYE TO HIM.

WHEN EVENING CAME, DARIN

MUSTERED THE STRENGTH TO HOLD

HIS LITTLE BOY.

I SQUEEZED HIS HAND.

I INSTANTLY WAS TAKEN TO

HEAVEN.

I COULD SEE GRIFFIN AND HE WAS

JUST SO HAPPY.

I WAS IN AWE.

I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT WAS

HAPPENING.

I THOUGHT IT WAS OVER AND

HOPELESS.

THERE HE WAS, FULLY ALIVE AND

VIBRANT, THE HAPPIEST HE HAD

EVER BEEN.

DARIN SAYS GRIFFIN STARTED

TALKING TO SOMEONE.

DARIN COULD NOT SEE WHO IT WAS,

BUT SOMEHOW KNEW IT WAS JESUS.

FEELING GOD'S LOVE FOR THE

FIRST TIME, DARIN FINALLY SAW

THE TRUTH ABOUT HIMSELF AND

GOD.

I KNEW MY SIN CONDITION.

I KNEW THE PAIN BUSINESS OF

HEAVEN.

I KNEW THE LOVE OF GOD AND I

WAS SHOCKED AT THE DEPTH OF THE

LOVE THAT HE HAD FOR ME,

ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE TYPE

OF BRUTE THAT I WAS.

I IMMEDIATELY WAS A BELIEVER.

IT WAS THEN THAT DARIN

ACCEPTED THAT HIS SON WAS IN

GOD'S HANDS.

I WAS VERY AWARE OF -- IT

WAS INCOMPARABLE TO HOW MUCH

GOD LOVES HIM AND THAT GRIFFIN

IS SAFE.

THEN I IMMEDIATELY WAS BACK IN

THE HOSPITAL.

SADLY, GRIFFIN DIED THE NEXT

DAY.

THROUGH GRIEF AND TEARS, JEN

NOTICED FOR ONCE DARIN DID NOT

LASH OUT IN ANGER.

HE WAS AT PEACE.

THEN HE TOLD HER AND EVERYONE

ELSE WHAT HE HAD WITNESSED.

DARIN IMMEDIATELY WAS

TELLING EVERYBODY , IT IS ALL

ABOUT LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS.

IT IS ALL ABOUT LOVE AND

RELATIONSHIPS.

GRIFFIN IS GOING TO BE IN A

GOOD PLACE.

DARIN BEGAN SEEKING GOD,

READING HIS BIBLE, AND GOING TO

CHURCH WITH HIS FAMILY.

I COULD UNDERSTAND GOD'S

LOVE, AND THE DIFFERENT KINDS

OF LOVE.

WOULD UNFOLD TO ME AND MY

MARRIAGE WAS IMMEDIATELY

HEALED.

I SAW EVERYTHING THAT I HAD PUT

HER THROUGH AND I KNEW HER

LOVE.

I KNEW THAT I WAS SELFISH.

DARIN IS A NEW MAN.

I ALWAYS SAY THAT IT IS LIKE A

SALT TO PAUL TYPE OF EXPERIENCE

WITH DARIN.

ALMOST 2 YEARS AFTER

GRIFFIN'S DEATH, DARIN AND JEN

HAD A DAUGHTER.

DARIN SAYS THE REALITY OF

CHRIST'S LOVE HAS TRANSFORMED

HIS LIFE COMPLETELY.

IT MAKES ME CRY.

THE THOUGHT OF HIS LOVE JUST

BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES.

IT IS DEEPER THAN WHAT CAN BE

KNOWN.

IF YOU EVER HAVE AN

ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS, YOU WILL

NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.

YOU CANNOT WALK AWAY FROM THAT

ENCOUNTER AND GO BACK TO WHAT

YOU USED TO DO.

IT IS JUST IMPOSSIBLE.

ONCE YOU HAVE THAT, ONCE YOU

UNDERSTAND IT, AND YOU

UNDERSTAND THE LOVE THAT GOD

HAS FOR YOU -- IT IS THE BEST

NEWS ANYONE HAS EVER HEARD,

THAT THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING,

THE GOD BEHIND ALL OF IT, LOVES

YOU AND LOVES YOU INFINITELY,

REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU HAVE

DONE.

A MARRIAGE COUNSELOR DESCRIBES

HIM AS A CAVEMAN.

HE IS COUNSELING HIS WIFE TO

POLICE A DIVORCE HIM.

DO NOT STAY IN THIS MARRIAGE.

THAT IS THE WAY GOD LOVES.

HE KNOWS INFINITELY.

THIS IS LOVE.

THIS IS HOW THE BIBLE DESCRIBES

LOVE.

THIS IS LOVE.

WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS,

JESUS DIED FOR US.

THAT IS HOW HE LOVES.

HE WAS WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE

FOR YOU.

SO THAT YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO

SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR

ACTIONS IF YOU WOULD TAKE ALL

OF THE PENALTY, ALL OF THAT, HE

WOULD TAKE IT TO THE CROSS AND

GET RID OF IT.

HE WOULD ABOLISH THE LAW OF SIN

AND DEATH.

YOU WOULD SET US FREE FROM THE

CONSEQUENCES OF OUR ACTIONS, SO

WE CAN BE WITH HIM FOR ALL

ETERNITY.

FOR DARIN, WHEN HE ENCOUNTERED

THAT, IF WAS AT A MOMENT OF

GREAT TRAGEDY.

HE IS LOSING HIS SON . HE GETS

A GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN AND HE

UNDERSTANDS GOD'S LOVE TOWARDS

US.

IT WAS FOR HIS SON AND FOR HIM

AND FOR ALL PEOPLE, FOR ALL

TIME.

HE FINALLY GOT IT.

IT TRANSFORMED HIM.

IT MELTED THAT HARD HEART.

YOU CHANGED HIM.

THE SAME THING CAN HAPPEN TO

YOU.

HOW DO YOU GET IT?

YOU NEED TO GO THROUGH A

TRAGEDY?

NO.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO THAT.

ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS ASK FOR

IT.

THE BIBLE SAYS IF YOU WILL DRAW

NEAR TO GOD, HE WILL DRAW NEAR

TO YOU.

JESUS SAYS, AND HE SAYS IT VERY

CLEARLY, BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE

DOOR AND KNOCK.

IF ANYONE, THAT IS YOU, IF

ANYONE OPENS THE DOOR, I WILL

COME IN AND I WILL SUP WITH

THEM.

THAT MEANS HE WILL HAVE

COMMUNION WITH YOU.

HE WILL SHARE HIS LIFE, HIS

ESSENCE, WITH YOU.

IT IS A WONDERFUL PROMISE.

HOW DO YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF

THAT PROMISE?

YOU ASK FOR IT.

YOU OPEN THE DOOR AND YOU SAY,

JESUS, IF YOU ARE THERE, IF YOU

ARE MY SAVIOR, COULD YOU SHOW

ME?

COULD YOU SHOW ME HOW MUCH YOU

LOVE ME?

COULD YOU TAKE CARE OF ALL OF

MY SIN, ALL THE THINGS I HAVE

DONE WRONG?

COULD YOU TAKE CARE OF ALL OF

THAT?

THE ANSWER TO THAT IS, YES.

SO, IF YOU WANT TO JOIN ME, IF

YOU WANT TO OPEN THAT DOOR, BOW

YOUR HEAD WITH ME AND PRAY THIS

VERY SIMPLE PRAYER.

JESUS WILL ANSWER IT TODAY.

YOU CAN DISCOVER HIS LOVE FOR

YOU.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK.

LET'S PRAY.

JESUS.

SAY HIS NAME.

SAY IT OUT LOUD.

JESUS.

I OPENED THE DOOR OF MY HEART

TO YOU.

I ASK THAT YOU WOULD COME IN.

I DRAW NEAR TO YOU.

I WANT TO -- I DRAW NEAR TO

YOU.

I KNOW THAT YOU WILL COME TO

ME.

YOU WILL COME INTO MY HEART.

THAT YOU WILL FORGIVE ME OF ALL

THE THINGS THAT I HAVE DONE

WRONG, THAT YOU WILL CLEANSE ME

FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.

LORD, IF YOU DO THIS FOR ME, I

WANT TO FOLLOW YOU ALL THE DAYS

OF MY LIFE.

HEAL MY PRAYER -- COME INTO MY

MIND.

BE WITH ME, FOR I ASK IT IN

JESUS' NAME.

FATHER, FOR THOSE THAT JUST

PRAYED, I ASK FOR A BAPTISM IN

YOUR LOVE AND ASK YOU FILL THEM

TO OVERFLOWING.

LET THEM KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE

THEM AND CARE FOR THEM.

BE WITH THEM NOW.

WE ASK IT IN JESUS' NAME.

IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME, THE

BIBLE SAYS IF YOU BELIEVE IN

YOUR HEART AND CONFESS WITH

YOUR MOUTH, YOU SHALL BE SAVED.

WE MADE IT EASIER FOR YOU TO

CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH.

JUST PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL

1-800-700-7000 . THAT IS THE

NUMBER TO CALL.

THE GOOD NEWS?

THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO

ABOUT IT.

WHEN YOU GIVE TO CBN COME

YOU'RE HELPING PEOPLE IN THE

UNITED STATES TO MAKE IT

THROUGH TOUGH TIMES.

ACROSS THE COUNTRY, MANY

FAMILIES ARE STILL AT THEIR

LOCAL FOOD BANKS.

OPERATION BLESSING IS DOING ALL

THEY CAN TO HELP MEET THE NEEDS

OF THE COMMUNITY.

I HAVE BEEN COMING BACK HERE

FOR TWO YEARS AND IT HELPS ME A

LOT BECAUSE I AM BY MYSELF.

I AM DISABLED.

IT HELPS WHEN I DO NOT HAVE

MONEY TO PURCHASE FOOD.

TRAVIS KLINGEMAN HAS BEEN

FEEDING THOSE IN NEED SINCE HE

WAS A KID.

I LIVE IN PADEN, OKLAHOMA.

THIS IS THE POOREST COUNTY IN

OKLAHOMA.

I WAS RAISED FEEDING THE POOR.

NO ONE ELSE WAS FEEDING THE

POOR OUT HERE.

OPERATION BLESSING ASKED ME IF

THERE WAS A NEED IN THE AREA.

ME AND MY WIFE SAID YES.

FAMILIES ARE NOW GETTING THE

HELP THEY NEED.

PEOPLE DRIVE UP TO GET FOOD AND

SOME VOLUNTEERS EVEN TAKE FOOD

TO FAMILIES THAT CANNOT COME

GET IT THEMSELVES.

I SACK IT UP AND DIVIDE IT

BETWEEN THESE FOUR FAMILIES.

I LIKE GIVING AND HELPING

PEOPLE.

THEY ARE SO PLEASED TO GET

THEM.

THEY LET ME KNOW HOW THANKFUL

THEY ARE AND HOW MUCH IT HELPS

THEM.

IT IS UNBELIEVABLE HOW MANY

PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE VALUE IN

THEMSELVES, LET ALONE IN THIS

LIFE.

GIVING WAY THROUGH THE STEPS

THROUGH THAT WALL AND SHOWS

THEM THEIR VALUE.

REALLY, IT IS WHAT DRIVES US,

THE ABILITY TO LOVE ON PEOPLE

THROUGH FOOD.

IT HELPS A LOT.

I MEAN, IT IS LESS WORRIES ON

HOW I AM GOING TO FEED MYSELF

AND IT HAS BEEN A BLESSING FOR

ME.

I CANNOT SAY THINGS ENOUGH

TO OPERATION BLESSING AND ALL

@IT TAKES ALL OF US TO BE THE

KINGDOM OF GOD AS WE SERVE

JESUS.

I THINK THEY ARE DOING WHAT

GOD WANTS THEM TO DO AND I

> A YOUNG WOMAN'S CAR IS HIT

BY A MACK TRUCK SHE SUFFERS A

MAJOR HEAD AND FACIAL TRAUMA.

DOCTORS DOUBT SHE WILL SURVIVE.

SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO HER WHEN

WE COME BACK.

> HE WAS ENGAGED TO THE LOVE

OF HIS LIFE AND THEN HE GOT A

PHONE CALL THAT HIS FIANCC

IN A SERIOUS CAR WRECK.

THEY FOUND OUT -- THE ACCIDENT

WAS LIKELY KILL HER.

THEY MET AS STUDENTS AT THE

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA.

AFTER DATING FOR ABOUT A YEAR,

BRAD KNEW SHE WAS THE LOVE OF

HIS LIFE.

SHE IS KIND AND SWEET, BUT,

AT THE SAME TIME, DRIVEN.

I WAS DRAWN TO HER THE MORE I

KNEW ABOUT HER.

THEY GOT ENGAGED AFTER

GRADUATION AND SET A WEDDING

DATE IN MAY OF 2009.

AT THE TIME, SHE WAS WORKING

FOR THE FELLOWSHIP OF CATHOLIC

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS.

THE MORNING OF DECEMBER 12th,

THE STAFF WAS DRIVING TO A

RETREAT.

AFTER MISSING THEIR TURN, THE

CAR ASHLEY AND SOME COWORKERS

WERE IN MADE A U-TURN AND WAS

HIT BY A MACK TRUCK.

FATHER MATYA WAS FOLLOWING IN

ANOTHER CAR.

THEY COULD NOT GET OUT OF

THE CAR AND THERE WAS SCREAMING

AND GLASS AND BLOOD AND

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE.

WE WERE PRAYING AND INTERCEDING

ON THEIR BEHALF.

THAT IS ONLY WHAT WE COULD DO

AT THAT MOMENT.

FATHER MATYA CALLED 911.

FOUR OF THE GIRLS HAD MINOR

INJURIES BUT ASHLEY SUFFERED

MAJOR HEAD AND FACIAL TRAUMA.

SHE WAS LIFE FLIGHTED TO THE

NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER.

A MUTUAL FRIEND CALLED BRAD TO

LET HIM KNOW.

THEN BRAD'S BROTHER DROVE HIM

TO THE HOSPITAL.

I DO NOT REMEMBER A LOT.

ALL THE RUMOR IS PRAYING, JUST

BE WITH ASHLEY.

JUST BE WITH ASHLEY.

JUST BE WITH ASHLEY.

I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS

HAPPENING.

WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE

HOSPITAL, HE AND FATHER MATYA

FOUND A NURSE FOR AN UPDATE .

SHE WAS THE ONE TO TELL ME

THE SEVERITY OF THE ACCIDENT

AND THE SEVERITY OF ASHLEY'S

CONDITION AND THAT SHE MAY NOT

MAKE IT.

I HAD NOT THOUGHT THIS COULD

BE THE END FOR ASHLEY.

I DID NOT THINK THIS ACCIDENT

COULD KILL HER.

WE WENT BACK TO THE

EMERGENCY ROOM AND SHE WAS

REALLY BANGED UP.

I MEAN, IT WAS ROUGH.

I COULD SEE IT WAS HER CLOTHES,

BUT I COULD NOT SEE IT WAS HER.

AND IT FRIGHTENED ME.

FRIENDS ARRIVED AT THE

HOSPITAL OFFERING PRAYERS AND

SUPPORT.

THE LOBBY AND THE WAITING

AREA HAD FILLED UP JUST WITH

STUDENTS FROM CAMPUS, FRIENDS

OF ASHLEY, FRIENDS OF MINE, AND

THE SUPPORT AND THE COMMUNITY

OF FAITH JUST KEPT BUILDING.

THERE WAS THIS HUGE RESPONSE

OF PRAYER, WHICH IS WHAT WE

NEEDED.

I MEAN, CANNOT OVER EMPHASIZE

HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS.

YOU TURN TO GOD AND PUT

YOURSELF IN HIS PRESENCE AND IN

HIS CARE AND THAT IS THE BEST

THING WE CAN DO IN ANY

SITUATION LIKE THAT.

OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS,

PRAYERS FOR ASHLEY WENT AROUND

THE WORLD.

HER BRAIN PRESSURE WAS REACHING

DANGEROUS LEVELS AND DOCTORS

PUT IN A DRAIN TO REMOVE EXCESS

SPINAL FLUID.

THERE IS NO GUARANTEE SHE

WAS GOING TO LIVE THROUGH THIS

AND NO GUARANTEE THAT IF SHE

DID, WHAT HER RECOVERY WOULD

LOOK LIKE.

HER SWELLING CAME DOWN BUT

THERE WAS STILL COMPLICATIONS.

HE SET UP A CARING BRIDGE PAGE

WITH UPDATES AND PRAYER

REQUESTS FOR ASHLEY.

ALL THROUGHOUT HER

RECOVERING, SHE WOULD GO

THROUGH CHALLENGES AND WE WOULD

SPECIFICALLY ASK FOR PRAYERS

FOR THAT CHALLENGE AND THEY

WOULD BE MAD.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE LEARN

TO PRAY FROM OUR HEART AS WELL.

WE WERE DOING THAT, YOU KNOW,

TELLING THE LORD THAT WE WERE

TOTALLY ENTRUSTING THE

SITUATION TO HIM, KNOWING THAT

HE COULD TAKE CARE OF THE

SITUATION BETTER THAN WE COULD.

GIVE IT TO HIM.

AFTER ONE MONTH IN THE ICU,

SHE WAS STABLE ENOUGH TO BE

MOVED.

SHE WAS FLOWN TO ATLANTA TO

BEGIN INTENSIVE REHAB.

THE FIRST TRIAL IS IS SHE

GOING TO LIVE?

WILL SHE KNOW ME?

THOSE ANSWERS CAME, THANK GOD.

EVEN AFTER A MONTH, WE DID NOT

KNOW WHAT RECOVERY WOULD LOOK

LIKE.

SHE CONTINUE TO IMPROVE AND

WAS RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL

TO START OUTPATIENT REHAB.

SHE GREW STRONGER, FINDING

ENCOURAGEMENT FROM THEIR

PRAYERS POSTED ON HER CARING

BRIDGE PAGE.

IT WAS AT THE TIME THE MOST

IMPORTANT MEDICINE FOR ME TO

HAVE -- TO FEEL COVERED IN

PRAYER, TO FEEL ENCOURAGED, AND

TO FEEL SUPPORTED THAT I WAS

NOT ALONE.

HAVING ALL THESE PRAYERS

ANSWERED, HAVING HER RECOVERY

PROGRESS, HAVING SO MANY PEOPLE

LOVE US, LOVE US IN SO MANY

DIFFERENT WAYS AND TO PRAY FOR

US, MY FAITH WAS STRENGTHENED

IN A WAY THAT I HAD NEVER SEEN

BEFORE.

ASHLEY AND BRAD MARRIED THAT

DECEMBER ON THE ONE-YEAR

ANNIVERSARY OF HER ACCIDENT.

INSTEAD OF HAVING THAT DAY

ALWAYS BEING A REMINDER OF THE

PAIN, WE WANTED IT TO BE A

REMINDER OF JOY.

WE WANTED TO RECLAIM THAT

MOMENT FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.

WE WANTED TO CELEBRATE THE

FRUITS OF THE PRAYERS AND JUST

HAVE A PARTY, RATHER THAN MAKE

IT INTO A SAD ANNIVERSARY.

TODAY, THEY ENJOY THEIR TIME

WITH THEIR THREE LITTLE GIRLS.

TIME THEY KNOW THEY MIGHT NOT

HAVE WITHOUT THE POWER OF

PRAYER.

IF IT WERE NOT FOR THOSE

PRAYERS AND THOSE COMMENTS AND

THAT ENCOURAGEMENT, I WOULD NOT

BE WHERE I AM TODAY.

THE FOUNDATION OF OUR PRAYER

LIFE WAS CRITICAL. NOT ONLY DO

I THINK WAS IT CRITICAL TO HER

RECOVERY, BUT ALSO FOR US

COMING TOGETHER AS A COUPLE, TO

CREATE THE FOUNDATION THEN FOR

OUR FAMILY.

THERE IS NO BURDEN TOO SMALL

NOT TO ASK FOR A PRAYER, YOU

KNOW?

OFTEN, WHEN BIG THINGS LIKE

THIS HAPPEN, WE ALL RALLY UP

AND ASK FOR PRAYER.

WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT GOD

WORKS IN SMALL WAYS, TOO.

WHETHER IT IS PRAYING FOR KIDS

OR MARRIAGES OR, YOU KNOW, THE

LOSS OF A JOB.

THERE IS NOTHING IN HER LIFE

THAT CANNOT BE TAKEN TO GOD IN

PRAYER.

THERE IS NOTHING IN LIFE

THAT CANNOT BE TAKEN.

HE CAN TAKE IT ALL.

HE WANTS TO TAKE IT ALL.

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD

AND IN THAT, YOU GET THIS

WONDERFUL KNOWLEDGE THAT HE IS

WORKING ALL THINGS TOGETHER FOR

OUR GOOD AND HE IS ABLE TO TAKE

THE DEEPEST TRAGEDY AND MAKE IT

YOUR GREATEST MIRACLE.

HE WANTS TO DO THAT.

THAT IS THE GOOD NEWS.

HE WANTS TO DO THAT.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BARGAIN FOR

IT.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BEG FOR IT.

YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE.

BY FAITH, ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD

AND IT WAS ACCOUNTED TO HIM.

WHEN YOU BELIEVE IN HIS MIRACLE

POWER.

WHEN YOU BELIEVE ALL THINGS ARE

WORKING TOGETHER, WHEN YOU

BELIEVE THAT YOUR DESTINATION

IS HEAVEN, WHEN YOU BELIEVE

THESE THINGS, MIRACLES CAN

HAPPEN.

WE ARE GOING TO PRAY FOR YOU.

BEFORE THAT, WE HAVE OTHER

MIRACLE TESTIMONIES.

SHE HAD DIGESTIVE ISSUES AND

WAS WATCHING THIS SHOW.

THEY SAID SOMEONE HAS BEEN

SEEING DOCTORS BECAUSE YOUR

METABOLIC SYSTEM IS JUST MESSED

UP.

IT IS AFFECTING YOUR LIFE AND

HEALTH BUT JESUS IS HEALING

THAT FOR YOU.

LIFT UP YOUR HANDS AND PRAISE

HIM AND RECEIVE YOUR HEALING.

SOMEONE HAS A BACTERIAL

INFECTION -- GOD IS CLEANSING

THAT.

SOME KIND OF AMOEBA IN YOUR

BODY.

GOD IS RELEASING IT.

SANDRA BELIEVED AND WAS

INSTANTLY HEALED.

SHE HAS NO LONGER ANY PAIN AND

CAN DIGEST FOOD NORMALLY.

HALLELUJAH.

THIS PERSON LIVES IN

FLORIDA.

THEY SUFFERED FOR FIVE YEARS

WITH SHORTNESS OF BREATH.

THEY HEARD THE TESTIMONY OF

SOMEONE RIGHT HERE, WHO WAS

HEALED OF A BREATHING ISSUE.

HE THEN HEARD YOU SAY YOU ARE

LAYING YOUR RIGHT HAND ON YOUR

CHEST AND HAVE BREATHING ISSUES

AND YOU ARE SAYING, PLEASE SAY

THAT OVER ME.

THAT INFECTION, ALL OF THAT IS

LEAVING YOUR BODY AND YOUR

LUNGS ARE BEING CLEANSED AND

HEALED RIGHT NOW.

SHE BELIEVED AND FELT THE TOUCH

OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WAS

HEALED COMPLETELY.

YOU CAN BE HEALED

COMPLETELY.

THE BIBLE SAYS IF YOU ARE SICK

-- IF ANY OF YOU ARE SICK, CALL

FOR THE ELDERS.

I WILL BE AN ELDER FOR YOU.

THE PRAYER OF FAITH -- THAT IS

THE KEY.

THE PRAYER OF FAITH, BELIEVING.

YOU JUST HEARD TWO WONDERFUL

TESTIMONIALS AND SAW A MIRACLE,

WHERE DOCTORS WERE PREDICTING

THAT SHE WILL NOT SURVIVE.

NOT ONLY DID SHE SURVIVED, BUT

SHE THRIVED.

SHE GOT MARRIED AND HAS THREE

DAUGHTERS.

WHAT THEY SAID WAS IMPOSSIBLE

BECAME POSSIBLE BECAUSE WITH

GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

WHEN YOU GET THAT FAITH, WHICH

IS A GIFT FROM GOD, YOU GET

THAT, YOU CAN BELIEVE IN THE

IMPOSSIBLE.

HOW DO YOU GET THAT?

YOU LOOK TO JESUS.

HE IS THE AUTHOR.

HE IS THE FINISHER OF YOUR

FAITH.

SO, IF ANY OF YOU ARE SICK,

CALL FOR YOUR ELDERS AND A

PRAYER OF FAITH WILL RAISE YOU

UP.

WE WILL DO THAT.

LOOK TO JESUS.

HE HAS ALREADY DONE IT.

HE HAS ALREADY DONE EVERYTHING

NEEDED FOR YOUR HEALING.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS ENTER INTO

IT.

LET'S PRAY.

LET'S BELIEVE THAT GOD HAS

ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF IT.

BEFORE WE EVEN PRAY, YOU KNOW

HE PROVIDES THE ANSWER.

LET'S PRAY.

LORD, WE COME TO YOU.

WE COME TO YOU BELIEVING.

WE COME TO YOU BELIEVING THAT

WE WILL WALK INTO OUR HEALING,

THAT WITH YOUR PRESENCE, THERE

IS HEALING.

YOUR VERY NAME IS HEALING

DELIVERANCE.

SO, LORD, BY FAITH, WE SAY

KINGDOM OF HEAVEN COME.

BE DONE IN OUR BODIES NOW.

LET THERE BE NO MORE PAIN, NO

MORE SUFFERING, NO MORE TEARS,

BUT RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE, AND

JOY IN YOU.

LET YOUR PRESENCE BE IN US, ALL

AROUND US, AND GIVE US THE

FAITH THAT WE NEED TO BELIEVE

FOR PERFECT HEALING.

WE RECEIVE EVERYTHING THAT YOU

HAVE PURCHASED FOR US.

WE RECEIVE EVERYTHING.

WE RECEIVE IT NOW IN JESUS'

NAME.

THERE IS SOMEONE -- I DO NOT

KNOW WHY BUT YOU HAVE SO MUCH

ANXIETY.

YOU CANNOT SIT STILL, LIKE YOUR

HANDS TREMBLE AND YOU ARE

ALWAYS, ALWAYS MOVING.

IT IS LIKE YOU ARE DRIVEN BY

SOMETHING INSIDE AND RIGHT NOW,

JESUS SAYS TO YOU, PEACE BE

STILL, IN JESUS' NAME.

HE IS THE PRINCE OF PEACE.

EVERY BIT OF THAT ANXIETY IS

DRAINING OUT OF YOU RIGHT NOW,

FROM THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD TO

THE BOTTOM OF YOUR TOES.

YOU ARE STILL.

BE AT PEACE.

THE PRINCE OF PEACE HAS ENTERED

YOUR SITUATION AND SET YOU

FREE.

JUST BEGIN TO REJOICE IN THAT.

LET JOYCE FLOOD OVER YOU IN

JESUS' NAME.

YOU ARE PRAYING FOR YOUR

DAUGHTER AND HER NAME IS

ANNABEL.

YOU ARE FEELING WAVES OF GLORY

GO THROUGH HER AND YOU.

GOD IS JUST HEALING EVERYTHING

CONCERNING HER, FROM THE TOP OF

HER HEAD TO THE SOLES OF HER

FEET.

MAY SHE BE RESTORED AND BE MADE

WHOLE IN JESUS' NAME.

WE RECEIVE IT NOW.

SOMEONE HAS AN EXTREME

PROBLEM WITH LIVER ENZYMES.

GOD IS SETTING THAT IN ORDER

FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.

WHAT MEDICINE COULD NOT DO, THE

HEALER HAS GIVEN YOU IN JESUS'

NAME.

THEIR PARENTS PRAYING FOR

THEIR CHILDREN.

GOD WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU

ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE THEM BACK

AND RECEIVE THEM BACK WHOLE.

GOD IS DELIVERING THEM AND

ANSWERING YOUR PRAYERS NOW IN

JESUS' NAME.

LORD, WE THANK YOU FOR

EVERYTHING.

CHILDREN AND PARENTS -- JUST

KEEP PRAYING.

KEEP TRUSTING AND BELIEVING.

KEEP WAITING.

THE LORD IS ACTIVELY DOING

THINGS NOW IN JESUS' NAME.

AMEN.

IF YOU HAVE BEEN HEALED, LET US

KNOW AND LET US SHARE IN YOUR

GOOD REPORT.

THE SICK AND THE LORD WILL
