WITH A GOLDEN ARM.
HE HAD A CRIPPLING ADDICTION.
HE STRIKES OUT.
THE SIX-WEEK-OLD WITH A
DEADLY ARTIFACT.
OF PRAYER CHAIN OF THOUSANDS OF
CHURCHES.
HE SAID KATIE WILL NOT HAVE
A GOOD DAY.
TODAY, ON THE 700 CLUB.
> WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.
FROM HEZBOLLAH AND HAMAS,
MILITIAS IN SYRIA, IT IS NO
SECRET THAT IRAN HAS A VAST
TERROR NETWORK AND IT IS DRIVEN
BY HATRED OF THE U.S. AND
ISRAEL.
THE REGIME COULD BE
EXPANDING ITS REACH BY CASHING
IN ON A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
DECADES IN THE MAKING.
THE KEY PLAYER IS A LIKELY AL
QAEDA'S NEXT LEADER.
CAITLIN BURKE HAS THE DETAILS.
Reporter: THE U.S. DRONE
STRIKE THAT ELIMINATED AL
QAEDA'S GENERAL QASSEM
SOLEIMANI COULD PUT THEM IN A
MORE DANGEROUS PHASE , ONE WITH
IRAN AT THE HELM.
ONE MIGHT NOT EXPECT THAT
THE WORLD'S LEADING STATE OF
SPONSOR OF TERRORISM -- THEY
WOULD PARTNER WITH A TERRORIST
GROUP.
THEY ARE OIL AND WATER, YOU
MIGHT THINK, BUT IN ACTUALITY,
THERE IS A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP.
Reporter: IT DATES BACK TO
THE EARLY 1990s WHEN THE
ISLAMIC REVOLUTIONARY GUARD
HELPED OSAMA BIN LADEN RUN
TRAINING CAMPS IN SUDAN.
THEY ALSO OFFERED A SAFE HAVEN
TO AL QAEDA LEADERSHIP FLEEING
AFGHANISTAN IN THE WAKE OF
9/11.
HE IS NEXT IN LINE. HE IS
THE CROWN PRINCE OF AL QAEDA,
IF YOU WILL.
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT AL
QAEDA LEADERSHIP IS GOING TO
TAP HIM, BUT THAT IS THE SMART
BAD.
HE HAS BEEN LIVING THE AL QAEDA
LIFE FOR MANY YEARS.
THERE IS CONCERNED THEY WILL
SEEK TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT
RELATIONSHIP, BRINGING AL QAEDA
INTO THE FOLD AS ANOTHER PROXY
TO DO THEIR DIRTY WORK.
AL QAEDA AND IRAN HAVE
COMMON ENEMIES.
THEY BOTH HATE THE UNITED
STATES THEY BOTH HATE ISRAEL.
THEY BOTH HATE SAUDI ARABIA AND
THE OTHER SUNNI GULF MONARCHIES.
IF AL QAEDA IS MOUNTING
TERRORIST ATTACKS AGAINST ANY
OR ALL OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS,
THAT ADVANCES IRAN'S STRATEGIC
OBJECTIVES AND DOES SO IN A WAY
THAT IS DENIABLE.
Reporter: THE FORMER
AMBASSADOR AT LARGE AND
COORDINATOR FOR
COUNTERTERRORISM UNDER THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SAID THE
WILD CARD AND HOW THIS WILL ALL
PLAY OUT IS AFGHANISTAN.
NOW THAT THE TALIBAN IS BACK
IN BUSINESS, PROVIDING SAFE
HASTENS TO -- HE WAS LIVING IN
THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN KABUL,
PRESUMABLY UNDER TALIBAN
PROTECTION, DOES THAT MEAN THAT
OTHER AL QAEDA LEADERS,
LIKEWISE, ARE GOING TO RELOCATE
THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES
INTO THE SAFE HAVEN OF
AFGHANISTAN UNDER TALIBAN
CONTROL?
Reporter: SOURCES SAY IT
COULD CHANGE THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN AL QAEDA AND IRAN.
OTHER EXPERTS WARNED IT COULD
ALSO RESULT IN A SORT OF THREE-
WAY UNHOLY ALLIANCE.
THEY ARE NOT IDEOLOGY --
THEY COME FROM DISTINCT
BACKGROUNDS BUT THEY'RE WILLING
TO PUT THEIR DIFFERENCES ASIDE
WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR HATRED
TOWARDS THE WEST.
GABRIEL NORONHA, A FORMER
ADVISER FOR THE STATE
DEPARTMENT, SAYS NO MATTER HOW
THIS PLAYS OUT, THE U.S. NEEDS
A PROACTIVE APPROACH.
WE HAVE TO REALLY UP OUR
TOWER AND -- WE NEED ON
INTELLIGENCE ON THE GROUND, SO
WE CAN IDENTIFY THESE THREATS
AND TAKE THEM OUT EARLY.
I THINK THE BIG THING IS MONEY.
MONEY IS THE SINEWS OF WAR.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE MONEY, YOU
CANNOT DO A LOT.
WE NEED TO GET MORE SERIOUS
ABOUT OUR SESSION PER
Reporter: SINCE PRESIDENT
JOE BIDEN TOOK OFFICE, THERE
HAS BEEN A CLEAR FIT IT AWAY
FROM COUNTERTERRORISM EFFORTS,
TOWARDS THE THREAT POSED BY
CHINA.
WHILE BOTH NORONHA AND AMB
AGREED THAT IS IMPORTANT, THEY
WARN WE CANNOT AFFORD TO BECOME
COMPLACENT IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
WE RECENTLY LEARNED IRAN
PLOTTED TO KILL TWO FORMER
MEMBERS OF THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION.
THAT WAS JOHN BOLTON AND
SECRETARY OF STATE MIKE POMPEO.
THIS MONTH, A MAN STABBED
AUTHOR SALMAN RUSHDIE IN NEW
YORK STATE.
DO OFFICIALS BELIEVE IRAN IS
BUILDING ITS OWN TERROR NETWORK
IN THE U.S.?
Reporter: THE EXPERTS I
SPOKE TO DEFINITELY AGREE THAT
IRAN HAS SOME SORT OF
OPERATIONAL CAPACITY.
THERE IS SPECULATION THEY COULD
BE TRYING TO BUILD SOME SORT OF
ONLINE TERROR NETWORK. WITH
THAT SALMAN RUSHDIE ATTACKED,
THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT THE
SUSPECT WAS IN COMMUNICATION
WITH MEMBERS OF THE ISLAMIC
REVOLUTIONARY GUARD CORPS AND
THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICAN
OFFICIALS, THERE ARE MEMBERS
COMMUNICATING WITH AMERICANS
VIA SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT CARRYING
OUT THAT ATTACK.
AMBASSADORS SAY A PLOT AGAINST
THE U.S. IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW
AND IT COULD COME FROM WITHIN
THE UNITED STATES.
YOU MENTIONED INTELLIGENCE
AGENCY TURNING THEIR ATTENTION
TO CHINA.
WHAT ABOUT THE CONCERN WE ARE
TAKING OUR EYE OFF THE BALL IN
TERMS OF GLOBAL TERRORISM NOW?
AS I MENTIONED, THEY BELIEVE
THAT CHINA DOES NEED TO BE A
PRIORITY.
SEEING MILITARY OFFICIALS, THEY
TESTIFIED BEFORE THE SENATE. WE
ARE EIGHT MONTHS AWAY FROM A
MAJOR ATTACK ON AMERICA.
THAT WAS FOUR MONTHS AGO.
IT WAS AN ATTACK BY THE END OF
THE YEAR.
IF THAT HAPPENS, OUR PRIORITIES
WOULD IMMEDIATELY SWITCH BACK
TO COUNTERTERRORISM EFFORTS, SO
EXPERTS SAY LET'S PAY ATTENTION
TO WHAT IS GOING ON NOW IN THE
MIDDLE EAST, SO THAT WE ARE NOT
JUST REACTING WHEN SOMETHING
TERRIBLE HAPPENS.
AN AWFUL LOT WE NEED TO PAY
ATTENTION TO.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR REPORTING.
> AHEAD OF THE CDC ADMITS THE
AGENCY FAILED IN ITS RESPONSE
TO THE COVID PANDEMIC.
EFREM GRAHAM HAS THAT STORY.
Reporter: DR. ROCHELLE
WALENSKY IS CALLING FOR A MAJOR
REASON THAT AT THE AGENCY IN
RESPONSE TO AN INTERNAL REPORT
OVER THE CDC'S GUIDANCE ON
MASKS, VACCINES, AND OTHER --
THEY CALL IT AS DIFFICULT TO
NAVIGATE.
THEY CAN NOW OVERSEE
REORGANIZATION WITH INTERNAL
STAFF TO AGENCIES.
THEY CAN MAKE IT EASIER TO
UNDERSTAND.
A NEW ROUND OF COVID-19 SHOTS
COULD BE AVAILABLE IN A MATTER
OF WEEKS THE UPGRADED BOOSTER
WILL TARGET THE ORIGINAL COVID
STRAIN, AS WELL AS THE OMICRON
BA.4 AND BA.5 SUBVARIANTS.
> ABORTION BATTLES CONTINUE
IN THE STATES AFTER THE SUPREME
COURT OVERTURNED ROE VERSUS
WADE.
IN NORTH CAROLINA, A FEDERAL
JUDGE RULED A LAW BANNING
ABORTION AFTER 20 WEEKS CAN GO
INTO EFFECT.
THE JUDGE LIFTED AN INJUNCTION
ON THE BAN, CITING THE RULING
OF THE HIGH COURT GIVING STATES
THE RIGHT TO REGULATE ABORTION.
IN SOUTH CAROLINA, THE STATE
SUPREME COURT FOR A BLOCK TO
BAN AFTER A HEARTBEAT IS
DETECTED.
THAT LAW WENT INTO EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY AFTER ROE VERSUS
WADE WAS OVERTURNED.
THE RULING PUTS THE LAW ON HOLD
AS OTHER LEGAL CHALLENGES GO
FORWARD.

CONTROVERSY INVOLVING ISRAEL.
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY CHAIRMAN
IS WALKING BACK COMMENTS HE
MADE ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST.
IN A RECENT VISIT TO GERMANY,
HE WAS ASKED ABOUT THE
PALESTINIAN ATTACK ON JEWISH
ATHLETES AT THE OLYMPICS 50
YEARS AGO.'S REPLY SET OFF A
FIRESTORM IN GERMANY AND
ISRAEL.
ONE CORRESPONDENT HAS THAT
STORY.
HE CAME TO GERMANY ON A
STATE VISIT TO TALK ABOUT THE
ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT
THE LEADERS AGREED TO WORK
TOWARDS A PEACEFUL SOLUTION IN
THE MIDDLE EAST.
AFTERWARD REPORTER ASKED THE
CHAIRMAN IF YOU WOULD APOLOGIZE
TO ISRAEL AND GERMANY AHEAD OF
THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF THE
MASSACRE.
DURING THE 1972 SUMMER GAMES,
PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS TOOK
ISRAELI ATHLETES AND CULTURES
HOSTAGE, MERGING 11 OF THEM.
IT LED TO OUTRAGE IN GERMANY,
ISRAEL, AND BEYOND.
SINCE 1947 AND UNTIL TODAY,
ISRAEL HAS COMMITTED LOTS OF
MASSACRES.
50 MASSACRES.
50 HOLOCAUST.
THERE ARE DEAD AT THE HANDS OF
THE ISRAELI ARMY
YAIR LAPID CALLED THE
COMMENTS A MONSTROUS LIE,
TWEETING, 6 MILLION JEWS WERE
MURDERED IN THE HOLOCAUST,
INCLUDING 1.5 MILLION JEWISH
CHILDREN.
HISTORY WILL NEVER FORGET HIM.
BENNY GANTZ, MET WITH MAHMOUD
ABBAS RECENTLY, CALLED HIS
WORDS DESPICABLE AND FALSE.
THE REPREHENSIBLE AND UNFOUNDED
COMPARISON BETWEEN THE
HOLOCAUST AND THE IDF IS
HOLOCAUST DENIAL.
THOSE WHO SEEK PEACE ARE
EXPECTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE
PAST AND NOT TO DISTORT REALITY
AND REWRITE HISTORY.
MAHMOUD ABBAS PARTIALLY WALKED
BACK HIS COMMENTS IN A
STATEMENT, SAYING HE HAD NO
INTENTION OF DENYING THE
HOLOCAUST AND CALLING IT THE
MOST HEINOUS CRIME IN MODERN
HUMAN HISTORY.
THE DIRECTOR OF -- PEOPLE
SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SURPRISED.
WHILE THEY TOOK FLAK FOR NOT
DENOUNCING THE REMARKS, HE
LATER TWEETED IN GERMAN AND
ENGLISH, I AM DISGUSTED BY THE
OUTRAGEOUS REMARKS MADE BY
PALESTINIAN PRESIDENTS MAHMOUD
ABBAS.
FOR US GERMANS , ANY RELATIVE
POSITION OF THE SINGULARITY OF
THE HOLOCAUST IS INTOLERABLE
AND UNACCEPTABLE.
I CAN THEN ANY ATTEMPT TO DENY
THE CRIMES OF THE HOLOCAUST.
THERE WAS OUTRAGE,
JUSTIFIABLE OUTRAGE.
TO SEE A THING LIKE THAT IN
BERLIN -- IT WAS JUST
UNBELIEVABLE.
Reporter: DESPITE THE
MOMENTARY OUTRAGE, HE CONCEDES
BUSINESS WILL LIKELY GO ON AS
USUAL.
THE QUESTION IS WHAT PRICE
WILL WE PAY?
I WE WILL NOT PAY ANY PRICE.
THEY WILL CONTINUE TO SEND THE
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND
CONTINUE TO PLEDGE TERRORISTS
AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED.
JULIE STAHL, CBN NEWS,
JERUSALEM.
THANK YOU.
THINKING ABOUT THEM, AND
BERLIN, STANDING NEXT TO THE
GERMAN CHANCELLOR, TO MAKE THAT
STATEMENT.
HE IS WALKING IT BACK A BIT,
BUT EVERYONE WANTS TO WATCH IT,
IT IS LIKELY THE GERMAN
CHANCELLOR --
> THANK YOU FOR SITTING IN
FOR GORDON.
IT IS GREAT TO WORK WITH YOU.
GORDON WILL BE BACK IN
SEPTEMBER, I GUESS.
> STILL AHEAD, SIX WEEKS OLD
AND NOT BREATHING.
THIS BABY WAS RUSHED TO THE ER,
WHERE HER LIFE HUNG IN THE
BALANCE.
SEE HOW SHE WAS REVIVED AFTER
BEING DAD MORE THAN 90 MINUTES.
> AN ONLINE CHURCH IS
IGNITING THE REVIVAL ACROSS
PARTS OF NATIVE AMERICAN AND
BEYOND.
SEE HOW JESUS IS LORD OF CROW
NATION RIGHT AFTER THIS.
> DELIVERANCE FROM ADDICTIONS
AND TURNING TO JESUS CHRIST.
REVIVAL IS SWEEPING ACROSS
PARTS OF NATIVE AMERICA.
THE LEADERS OF THE CROW TRIBE
HAVE PASSED A REVOLUTION TO
PROCLAIM JESUS CHRIST AS LORD
OF THE CROW INDIAN RESERVATION.
MARK MARTIN TRAVELED TO MONTANA
TO BRING US THIS LOOK
FIRSTHAND.
Reporter: IN SOME RESPECTS,
THE PLIGHT OF NATIVE AMERICANS
HAS NOT CHANGED.
THEY FACE TROUBLING
CIRCUMSTANCES WITH ISSUES
RANGING FROM SUBSTANCE ABUSE TO
A MASSIVE COVID-19 IMPACT, TO
AN ALARMING NUMBER OF MISSING
AND MURDERED WOMEN.
THERE IS A LOT OF BROKEN
AREAS, BROKEN COMMUNITIES, AND
OUR COMMUNITIES ARE RAMPANT
WITH DRUGS.
Reporter: YET, IN THE MIDST
OF THE SUFFERING, CROW TRIBE
MEMBER DONNA STANDS-OVER-BULL
AND HER HUSBAND, RUSSELL, SAY
GOD IS ON THE MOVE.
WE CAN FEEL AND SENSE THE
RUMBLINGS OF REVIVAL.
WHEN I SAY REVIVAL, I MEAN
PEOPLE'S HEARTS TURNING BACK TO
GOD.
WE HAVE BEEN HAVING HEALING
REVIVALS OVER THE ONLINE
CHURCH.
GOD'S BEEN HEALING PEOPLE
THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA.
PEOPLE ARE GIVING THEIR HEARTS
TO THE LORD.
Reporter: THE SENIOR PASTORS
OF ARROW CREEK TV e-CHURCH SAID
GOD CALLED HIM TO START THE
ONLINE FELLOWSHIP IN 2018.
WE CANNOT COMPREHEND THAT.
GOT PUT IT ON OUR HEARTS AND WE
BEGAN TO ESTABLISH ARROW CREEK
TV.
MILLENNIALS STARTED COMING TO
THE CHURCH.
I AM SO PROUD OF MY
CONGREGATION.
WE HAVE GOT THE BEST WE HAVE
FIVE CONTINENTS REPRESENTED.
WE PROBABLY REPRESENT THE
BIGGEST CHURCH IN THE INDIAN
COMMUNITY THROUGHOUT THE U.S.
Reporter: RUSSELL SAYS THE
PENTECOSTAL ROOTS OF REVIVAL
RUN DEEP IN HIS FAMILY AND THE
CROW NATION.'S MOTHER, SHARON
STANDS-OVER-BULL, IS ALSO A
PASTOR AND CROW ELDER.
SHE RECALLS HOW HER GRANDMOTHER
ATTENDED THE AZUSA STREET
REVIVAL IN CALIFORNIA IN 1906.
WHILE THEY WERE THERE, THEY
WERE PRIVILEGED TO RECEIVE THE
HOLY SPIRIT.
THEY CAME BACK TO THE CROW
RESERVATION, PROCLAIMING THAT
GOD IS LORD OVER THE CROW
RESERVATION.
WHOLE COMMUNITIES WERE
TOUCHED BY THE FIRE OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT AND THE CROWS EVENTUALLY
BECAME KNOWN THROUGHOUT INDIAN
COUNTRY AS THE CENTER FOR THE
PENTECOST.
THIS WAS THE CAPITAL FOR
PENTECOST AND STILL IS CONSIDER
THAT I MANY NEIGHBORING TRIBES.
Reporter: LEADERS OF THE
CROW TRIBE HAVE PUT UP A SIGN
WHICH BOLDLY PROCLAIMS THAT
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD ON THE
CROW NATION.
IT ALSO HAS A SCRIPTURE WHICH
READS, BLESSED IS THE NATION
WHOSE GOD IS THE LORD AND THE
PEOPLE WHO HE HATH CHOSEN FOR
HIS OWN INHERITANCE.
THE SOUTHEAST MONTANA TRIBE
PASSED A 2013 LEGISLATIVE
RESOLUTION TO HONOR GOD FOR HIS
GREAT BLESSINGS UPON THE CROW
TRIBE AND TO PROCLAIM JESUS
CHRIST AS LORD OF THE CROW
INDIAN RESERVATION.
THEY ALSO FLY THE FLAG OF
ISRAEL NEXT TO THE SIGNED.
THAT SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT AS
WE STAND WITH ISRAEL, WE ARE A
BLESSED NATION.
SO, TODAY, THERE ARE MINISTRIES
THROUGHOUT THE RESERVATION AND
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAVED AND
HEALED AND SHOUTING THE
VICTORY.
SO, I AM JUST SO GLAD THAT IN
MY LIFETIME, I GOT TO BE A PART
OF IT AND IT IS STILL ONGOING.
Reporter: ON MONTANA'S
BLACKFEET RESERVATION, WINDY
CROSS GUNS SHARED HOW GOD
DELIVERED HER OF METH
ADDICTION.
I HAD A LITTLE GRANDDAUGHTER
BORN.
ONE DAY, MY HOUSE GOT BUSTED.
IT WAS SURROUNDED BY COPS AND I
STOOD BY AND I WATCHED.
I DID NOT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING
EXCEPT FOR THE DRUGS IN MY
HANDS.
I TURNED AROUND AND I LOOKED
AND REMEMBER THAT LITTLE BABY
WAS IN THERE AND THAT WAS THE
BEGINNING OF ME THINKING OF MY
FUTURE, MY FAMILY, MY COMMUNITY
AND WHAT I WANTED TO DO.
BASICALLY, I JUST LOOKED TO THE
SKY AND ASKED GOD TO HELP ME.
IF HE WAS REAL, PLEASE SAVE ME.
Reporter: SHE ALSO IS
EXPERIENCING REVIVAL.
THEM AND FRIENDS AND FELLOW
ADDICTS IN THIS COMMUNITY HAVE
SEEN MY RECOVERY AND THEY
BELIEVE WHAT I BELIEVE IN NOW.
THEY SAW IT.
MY WHOLE FAMILY CONVERTED.
THEY ARE PENTECOSTAL
CHRISTIANS.
PATRICK MATT JR. IS A MEMBER
OF THE CONFEDERATED SALISH AND
KOOTENAI TRIBES ON THE
FLATHEAD RESERVATION IN WESTERN
MONTANA.
A PREACHER'S KID, HE CALLS
HIMSELF A PRODUCT OF A 20th
CENTURY PENTECOSTAL CHRISTIAN
MOVEMENT.
IF I CAN SHINE AS A LIGHT TO
MY PEOPLE, TO SAY GOD IS DOING
SOMETHING WITH ME, GOD IS
CHANGING ME, GOD IS DOING
MIGHTY THINGS IN MY LIFE, IN MY
FAMILY'S LIFE, HE CAN DO IT FOR
YOU.
AND THEN AND AMEN.
PASTOR RUSSEL STANDS-OVER-
BULL SAYS THE GOAL IS TEACHING
HIS CHURCH TO SUSTAIN REVIVAL
THROUGH FASTING AND PRAYER.
WHEN WE HOST THE PRESENCE OF
GOD, HEAVEN COMES DOWN AND
THERE IS NO SICKNESS IN HEAVEN.
THERE IS NO POVERTY IN HEAVEN.
THERE IS NO LACK IN HEAVEN.
SO, WHEN WE INVITE THE KINGDOM
OF GOD, THAT IS HOW WE SUSTAIN
-- SORRY, SUSTAIN REVIVAL.
WE WANT TO KEEP THIS FIRE
GOING.
CBN NEWS, MONTANA.
WE LOVE TO REPORT ON THAT.
THE LORD IS WORKING IN PEOPLE,
ESPECIALLY FOR NATIVE
AMERICANS.
THAT IS SUCH AN UGLY PART OF
THIS HISTORY AS THE WESTWARD
EXPANSION HEAVEN.
MANY TRIBES ARE STILL
EXPERIENCING TRAUMA AND
DEFICITS IN THEIR LIFE AND IT
IS NOT A PRETTY PART OF OUR
HISTORY.
I FINISHED A BOOK ABOUT THE
NATIVE AMERICANS EXPERIENCES IN
OKLAHOMA AND TO SEE THE
MOVEMENT OF GOD IN THIS
COMMUNITY IS EXTREMELY
ENCOURAGING.
AND EXCITING.
> UP NEXT, ONE OF THE MOST
MEMORABLE RIGHT FIELDERS IN
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL.
GLENN WILSON TALKS ABOUT HIS
CAREER AND HIS 15 YEAR
ADDICTION TO PAINKILLERS AND
HIS MIRACULOUS DELIVERY.
THAT IS RIGHT AFTER THIS.
> A BASEBALL PLAYER WAS A
BLAST TO WATCH PLAY BASEBALL.
NAME IS GLENN WILSON.
HE HAD A MACHINE GUN FOR HIS
RIGHT ARM.
WHILE HE LOVED THE FANS, HE
ALSO FOUND HIMSELFCRAVING
SOMETHING ELSE, PRESCRIPTION
PAINKILLERS.
GLENN WILSON HAD A FLAIR FOR
THE DRAMATIC AND FANS LOVED HIM
FOR IT.
THERE WAS NO DOUBT.
I TELL PEOPLE ALL THE TIME, THE
ONLY REASON I PLAYED MAJOR
LEAGUE BASEBALL WAS I JUST
WANTED ATTENTION.
HE IS BEST KNOWN FOR HIS
REMARKABLE PLAYS FROM RIGHT
FIELD.
I FELT THAT I WOULD ALWAYS
BE ONE OF THE BEST IN THE
WORLD.
AT TIMES, HE WAS ALSO CALLED
UPON TO PITCH.
HAVING THAT ARM AND BEING
ABLE TO THROW THE WAY I WAS
THROWING WAS SO MUCH FUN, SO
MUCH EXCITEMENT.
I COULD FEEL THE FANS,
ESPECIALLY IN PHILADELPHIA,
THERE EXCITEMENT OF SEEING ME
THROW.
IT BECAME SUCH A GAME FOR ME
INSIDE THE GAME.
GLENN WILSON'S WIFE, KIM,
REMEMBERS THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
CHALLENGING.
VERY CHALLENGING.
YOU KNOW, GLENN IS SO
PASSIONATE ABOUT BASEBALL AND I
KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE A GREAT
JOURNEY.
BUT IT IS A LONELINESS,
EMPTINESS.
THEY ARE GONE ALL THE TIME AND,
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THREE BOYS
TWO OF THEM I RAISED WHILE HE
WAS STILL PLAIN.
THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE
THAT BOTHERED KIM.
HIS PROFESSED FAITH AS A
CHRISTIAN WAS ONE BASED ON
CONVENIENCE.
I WAS THAT GUY WHO ACCEPTED
CHRIST AT AGE 16 AND I USED
CHRIST TO MY ADVANTAGE.
I THOUGHT YOU ACCEPT JESUS
CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR, GO
DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, COME BACK
AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS.
GLENN LIVED THAT WAY FOR
YEARS.
HIS CAREER WAS CLOUDED WITH
ARGUMENTS WITH MANAGERS AND THE
FRONT OFFICE.
IN 1993, WHEN HE SUFFERED A
BACK INJURY DO TWO YEARS OF
WEAR AND TEAR, HE KNEW IT WAS
TIME TO RETIRE.
THE DAY I WALKED OUT OF
BASEBALL, DOCTORS HANDED ME A
BOTTLE OF PAINKILLERS AND SAID,
YOU NEED TO BE ON THESE THE
REST OF YOUR LIFE.
I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THEM.
I NEVER DID DRUGS IN MY LIFE.
WITH NO UNDERSTANDING OF THE
DANGERS OF PAINKILLERS, HE
STARTED TAKING VICODIN DAILY.
GRADUALLY, HE BECAME ADDICTED.
THE AFFECTS WERE SUBTLE.'S
BEHAVIOR WAS ERRATIC AND HE WAS
IRRATIONAL AT TIMES.
IT GOT TO WHERE I DID NOT
EVEN WANT TO GO OUT INTO
PUBLIC.
THE ADDICTION STARTED TO MAKE
ME REALIZE I PROBABLY DO NOT
NEED TO BE IN PUBLIC.
BY THE END OF 15 YEARS, HE
WAS TAKING UPWARDS OF 12
VICODIN A DAY.
THEN, ONE DAY, WHILE THEY
WATCHED A NEWS STORY ON
PAINKILLERS, THEY REALIZED HE
WAS ADDICTED.
I GOT PETRIFIED.
I GOT ANGRY.
I WENT TO MY DOCTOR THE NEXT
DAY AND I CHEWED HIM OUT.
I SAID, I'M NOT A DRUG ADDICT.
IF I HAVE TO GET OFF OF THIS,
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME?
I ASKED HIM ONE QUESTION --
AFTER I VOICED MY FRUSTRATION.
I SAID, HAVE YOU EVER HAD
ANYBODY JUST QUIT?
HE SAID, YEAH.
HE KNEW HE WOULD NEED HELP
TO OVERCOME THE ADDICTION.
HE WENT HOME AND CRIED OUT TO
GOD.
THIS TIME, HE MEANT IT.
I SAID, GOD, I DO NOT KNOW
HOW TO GET OFF THESE PILLS.
I DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING BUT
BASEBALL.
I NEED SOME HELP HERE.
SO, GOING TO GIVE YOU ME AND
YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT.
LO AND BEHOLD, I DID NOT KNOW
WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR BECAUSE
IT BECAME A JOURNEY AND A RIDE
THAT I AM STILL WRITING TODAY.
THAT DAY, HE SURRENDERED HIS
LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST AND FOUND
THE STRENGTH TO END HIS
ADDICTION.
IT IS REALLY SIMPLE.
SEEK THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND ALL
THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU
WAS WHAT I LIVED BY.
SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM?
WELL, IT MEANS WHEN YOU GET UP
IN THE MORNING, START LOOKING
FOR GOD BECAUSE I GUARANTEE YOU
HE IS GOING TO SHOW UP.
HE NO LONGER BATTLES
ADDICTION.
KIM SAYS HER PRAYERS HAVE BEEN
ANSWERED.
AMAZING.
HUMBLING.
AND HE LOVES HIS FAMILY.
HE LOVES HIS CHILDREN.
HE IS KIND.
HIS JOURNEY HAS JUST BEEN ABOVE
AND BEYOND.
AS HE SHARES IN HIS BOOK,
HEADED HOME --
SHE HAS BEEN A VERY PATIENT
WOMAN.
THEY HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR
OVER FOUR DECADES AND THERE IS
NEVER A DULL MOMENT IN THEIR
HOME, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE
GRANDKIDS COME TO VISIT.
IT HAS BEEN YEARS SINCE HE WAS
IN THE HOSPIRA -- SPOTLIGHT,
BUT HE IS OKAY WITH THAT
BECAUSE HE NO LONGER NEEDS THE
ATTENTION.
HE IS COMFORTABLE WITH WHO HE
IS IN CHRIST.
WHEN YOU ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST
AS LORD AND SAVIOR, CHRIST
COMES TO LIVE INSIDE OF YOU.
YOU ARE A NEW CREATION.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE EXCEPT
EVERYTHING IF YOU DO NOT TRY
GOT OVER THAT ADDICTION?
> WHAT I AM MOST TOUCHED BY
IS GLENN -- HE WAS A MAJOR
LEAGUE BALLPLAYER AND HE HAS
BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK AND HAS
BEEN STRUGGLING AND HE TURNS TO
THE LORD AND SAYS, I NEED SOME
HELP.
I NEED HELP.
YOU KNOW, JESUS SAID TO HAVE
FAITH LIKE A CHILD.
THAT IS WHAT HE ENCOURAGES US
TO DO.
IT CAME DOWN TO HIM SAYING,
LORD, I NEED SOME HELP.
I DO NOT KNOW WHAT SEASON
YOU'RE IN IN YOUR LIFE OR IF
YOU FIND YOURSELF ADDICTED TO A
PAINKILLER LIKE GLENN WAS OR
ALCOHOL OR DRUGS.
YOU HAVE GONE DOWN THE PATH YOU
DID NOT EXPECT OR EVER WANTED
TO AND NOW YOU HAVE -- YOU HAVE
WANDERED OFF LIKE A SHEEP AND
YOU ARE SAYING, THAT IS THE CRY
IN MY HEART.
LORD, I NEED SOME HELP.
LET'S GO TO GOD.
IN II PETER, I READ SOMETHING
AMAZING.
IT STRUCK ME.
THEY WERE SAYING HOW GOD HAS
GIVEN US WHAT WE NEED TO LIVE A
GODLY LIFE.
KNOWLEDGE OF HIM, THROUGH THE
PROMISES OF GOD, AND WE WILL
AVOID CORRUPTION AND EVIL
DESIRES OF THE FLESH.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, PARTICIPATE
IN THE DIVINE NATURE OF GOD.
ISN'T THAT AN AMAZING STATEMENT?
WE CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE
DIVINE NATURE OF GOD.
THAT IS THE INVITATION FROM
JESUS.
THROUGH A RELATIONSHIP WITH
HIM, WE CAN KNOW THE FATHER AND
KNOW HIS WILL FOR OUR LIFE.
IF YOU ARE IN A SEASON AND
SAYING I DO NOT KNOW HOW I GOT
HERE.
THERE'S A PART OF YOUR LIFE
THAT HAS BEEN CRUMBLING AND YOU
SAY I WANT TO GIVE MY LIFE TO
YOU, JUST LIKE GLENN DID.
HE GAVE HIS LIFE AND SAID, WOW,
I DID NOT EXPECT GOD TO DO WHAT
HE DID AND IT HAS BEEN A RIDE.
IF YOU WANT TO GET ON TRACK,
PRAY WITH ME.
LET'S PLAY IT AT THE FOOT OF
THE CROSS AND SEE WHAT HE DOES
IN YOUR LIFE.
LORD, JESUS, YOU KNOW MY HEART
AND WEAKNESSES AND MY SINS.
YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT ME AND YOU
KNOW THE MASK I PUT ON IN FRONT
OF OTHERS BUT YOU KNOW THE
CONDITION OF MY HEART.
TODAY, I SIMPLY SAY I NEED YOUR
HELP.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, I COMMIT MY
LIFE TO YOU.
I WANT TO LIVE FOR YOU, LORD.
I KNOW YOU AS MY SAVIOR.
I AM STEPPING INTO THIS NEW
REALM.
YOU LET ME PARTICIPATE IN THE
DIVINE NATURE OF GOD BECAUSE OF
JESUS?
I WANT YOU TO ORDER MY STEPS
AND PLANS ME ON A ROCK AND GIVE
ME WISDOM AND LEAD ME NOW IN A
PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THANK
YOU FOR THE PRIVILEGE, AS PETER
SAYS, IN LETTING ME PARTICIPATE
IN THE DIVINE NATURE OF GOD.
WHAT A PRIVILEGE.
I GIVE YOU MY LIFE AND I SEEK
YOUR HELP AND, MOST
IMPORTANTLY, I GIVE YOU ALL
THAT I AM AND IT IS IN JESUS'
NAME I PRAY, AMEN.
AMEN.

THAT IS HOW HE DESCRIBED HIS
SINKING FINANCIAL SITUATION.
HE FOUND THAT FROM AN
UNEXPECTED SOURCE AND IT LED TO
A FINANCIAL MIRACLE.
HE WAS A DIVORCED SINGLE
DAD.
LISA WAS COMING OUT OF HER OWN
ISSUES.
THEY WERE MUTUAL FRIENDS.
A YEAR LATER, THEY GOT MARRIED.
AT THE TIME, MARK WAS MAKING
GOOD MONEY WHILE DOING A
BUSINESS.
SOON, HE FELT HE NEEDED A
CHANGE.
I WAS GOOD AT WHAT I DID.
I JUST WAS NOT SATISFIED.
I WAS NOT FULFILLED.
I WAS A LITTLE TAKEN ABACK
-- WE HAD A LOT OF
RESPONSIBILITY.
Reporter: HE SOLD HIS
FAMILY'S BUSINESS AND GOT A JOB
AS A FINANCIAL ADVISER AT AN
INVESTMENT FIRM.
HE HAD TROUBLE AT HIS NEW JOB,
EARNING ENOUGH MONEY TO SUPPORT
HIS FAMILY.
THEY PAID ME A SMALL SALARY,
JUST ENOUGH TO LIVE.
EVENTUALLY, IT GOES AWAY AND
THEN YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN, BY
WHAT YOU PRODUCE.
BEFORE LONG, THEY WERE IN
SERIOUS FINANCIAL TROUBLE.
I FELT LIKE I WAS IN THE
MIDDLE OF AN OCEAN.
I WAS MEETING OF LIFE RAFT.
WE HAD TO PUT OUR HOUSE UP
FOR SALE AND I DO NOT KNOW --
EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE
STRUGGLING, THE CONWAYS WOULD
NOT STOP TITHING OFF OF THEIR
INCOME.
WE WANTED TO REMIND
OURSELVES -- IT TALKS ABOUT
DOING IT TO THE STOREHOUSE.
THERE WILL BE FOOD AT HIS
HOUSE.
HE SAYS, TEST ME.
SEE IF I WILL NOT OPEN THE
WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND BLESS YOU
AND WE STOOD ON THAT PROMISE.
EVERY DAY, THE CONWAYS
PRAYED FOR MIRACLE.
THEY WATCHED STORIES WHERE
COUPLES LAID HANDS.
THEY DID THE SAME.
ONE DAY, THE COUPLE SAW
SOMETHING ELSE ON THE PROGRAM.
PAT COMES ON AND SAYS, YOU
KNOW, THERE IS SOMEONE OUT
THERE THAT NEEDS A FINANCIAL
MIRACLE.
RIGHT NOW, I BELIEVE GOD WANTS
TO DO A FINANCIAL MIRACLE IN
PEOPLE'S LIVES.
MANY OF YOU WHO ARE WAITING
FINANCIALLY, YOU ARE REALLY
STRUGGLING.
THE MOMENT HE SAID IT, I
KNEW THAT WAS FOR ME.
I GOT UP AND I JUST PRAYED AND
I JUST CLAIMED IT.
IT WAS NOT LONG AFTER THAT
PRAYER THAT THINGS BEGAN TO
CHANGE.
WITHIN TWO HOURS, LISA WAS
TEACHING AND AFTER THAT, MARK
GOT A CALL OUT OF THE BLUE.
THEY SAID, WE WOULD LIKE TO
TALK TO YOU ABOUT COMING IN AND
WORKING FOR US.
IT IMMEDIATELY CHANGED
EVERYTHING AND WITHIN A YEAR,
HE HAD A NICE BONUS, WHICH WAS
KIND OF UNHEARD-OF.
IT DID NOT MAKE SENSE BUT WE
KNEW THAT IT WAS GOD.
THE NEW JOB GAVE HIM A
STEADY INCOME WITH A HEFTY
RAISE AND WHILE THEY DID SELL
THEIR HOUSE, IT WAS NOT BECAUSE
THEY HAD TO DOWNSIZE.
IT WAS BECAUSE THEY WERE MOVING
INTO THEIR DREAM HOME, TWICE
THE SIZE OF THEIR LAST.
GOD IS FAITHFUL.
HE HAS BEEN SO FAITHFUL TO US
AND THERE IS NO REASON THAT WE
SHOULD BE WHERE WE ARE AT TODAY
OTHER THAN GOD.
THAT IS THE ONLY EXPLANATION.
HE DID THIS.
THAT IS NOT BECAUSE I AM
SMART OR BECAUSE I AM THE BEST
FINANCIAL ADVISER IN THE WORLD.
IT IS BECAUSE OF GOD'S
GOODNESS.
MARK IS NOW A SENIOR VICE
PRESIDENT AT THE COMPANY HE WAS
AT YEARS AGO.
THEY ARE BRINGING HOME SIX
TIMES MORE THAN THEY DID BEFORE
HE CHANGED CAREERS.
THEY ARE GIVING -- THEY SAY
GIVING IS THE KEY TO THEIR
SUCCESS.
I DO NOT THINK WE WOULD HAVE
SEEN THE BREAKTHROUGHS HAD WE
NOT TRUSTED GOD WITH OUR
FINANCES, DURING OUR GREATEST
HOUR OF NEED.
GIVE ANY WAY, EVEN IF YOU DO
NOT FEEL LIKE IT.
GOD WILL COME THROUGH.
HE WILL DO HIS PART.
HE ALWAYS DOES.
I LOVE THEIR STORY BECAUSE
WHAT IT IS TALKING ABOUT IS NOT
GIVING GOD MONEY BUT TALKING
ABOUT TRUSTING GOD WITH YOUR
MONEY.
WHEN YOU TRUST THAT HE IS GOING
TO BE THERE WITH YOU, THAT HE
UNDERSTANDS -- THE BLESSING HE
PROMISES IS GOING TO BE SEEN BY
YOU.
PART OF WHAT HAPPENS AT THE 700
CLUB THAT WE THINK IS SO
IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US IS TO
TEACH WHAT THE WORD OF GOD
SAYS, SO WE CAN LIVE LIVES OF
OBEDIENCE.
MY CHILDREN WERE LITTLE AND WE
USED TO SING A SONG CALLED
OBEDIENCE IS THE VERY BEST WAY
TO SHOW YOU BELIEVE THAT.
IT IS REALLY TRUE.
IT IS THE WAY WE EXPRESS OUR
TRUST IN GOD.
THERE IS ANOTHER ASPECT TO
THAT, THAT WHEN WE GIVE TO HIM,
HE USES IT TO TOUCH THE NEED IN
OTHERS.
WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE DECIDED
TO MAKE A PART OF YOUR GIVING
TO US. YOU ARE MAKING A
DIFFERENCE AROUND THE WORLD
WITH YOUR OBEDIENCE AND YOUR
GENEROSITY.
$.65 A DAY MAKES YOU A MEMBER.
WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR
DOING THAT.
THERE ARE MANY CLUB LEVELS.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THEM.
THAT IS GENERAL MEMBERSHIP ON
THE TOP LINE.
THAT IS $20 A MONTH OR TWO
COULD BECOME 700 CLUB GOLD AT
$40 A MONTH OR EVEN 1000 CLUB
AT $84 A MONTH.
MANY PEOPLE JOIN THE 2500 CLUB
OR $209 A MONTH.
THE FOUNDERS JOIN US AT $5000 A
YEAR OR $417 OR MORE A MONTH.
ASK GOD WHAT HE WOULD HAVE YOU
DO AND THEN DO IT WITH
EXPECTANCY BECAUSE WHEN WE ARE
OBEDIENT, GOD RESPONDS AS HE
HAS PROMISED.
WHEN YOU JOIN, WILL YOU DO IT
USING PLEDGE EXPRESS?
THAT IS ELECTRONIC MONTHLY
GIVING PEER YOU WILL NOT NEED
ENVELOPES OR STAMPS.
WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR
THAT BY SENDING YOU POWERFUL
LIFE TEACHINGS THAT YOU WILL
GET EVERY MONTH.
WE THINK THEY WILL BE A GREAT
BLESSING TO YOU.
ALSO, OUR GIFT WHEN YOU JOIN US
IS PAT'S LATEST TEACHING, A CD
CALLED PUTTING ON THE ARMOR OF
GOD.
IT IS A TEACHING FROM EPHESIANS
ABOUT STANDING FIRM IN GOD'S
PROTECTION AND IN HIS POWER.
WE WANT YOU TO HAVE BOTH OF
THEM.
I THINK THIS WILL STRENGTHEN
YOUR WALK WITH THE LORD.
WILL YOU CALL NOW AT 1-800-700-
7000?
JUST SAY, I WANT TO JOIN THE
700 CLUB AND I WOULD LIKE TO DO
IT USING PLEDGE EXPRESS.
OF NEXT, AN AMAZING STORY.
A DOCTOR WITNESSES A MIRACLE.
A BABY IS REVIVED FROM THE DEAD
AFTER 90 MINUTES WITHOUT ANY
BRAIN DAMAGE.
WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENEDAND
THEN WE WILL PRAY FOR YOU.
PLEASE STAY WITH US.
> IN NO TIME, THIS COUPLE WAS
FACING A CRITICAL LIFE OR DEATH
DECISION THAT NO PARENT EVER
WANTS TO MAKE.
IT TOOK US TWO YEARS TO GET
PREGNANT WITH KATIE.
WE WERE SO GRATEFUL TO GET HER
AND SHE COMPLETED OUR FAMILY.
SHE WAS JUST SIX WEEKS OLD
WHEN THEY NOTICED SOMETHING WAS
WRONG.
SHE WAS BREATHING REAL HARD
AND HEAVY.
JUST LIKE THAT.
KATIE LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS
STRUGGLING. SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE
WAS HAVING A LOT OF TROUBLE.
THEY RUSHED KATIE TO THE ER,
WHERE DOCTORS DISCOVERED SHE
HAD AN ACCELERATED HEART RATE.
SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH SVT,
SUPERVENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA.
IT IS A CONDITION CAUSED BY
ELECTRICAL DEFECTS IN HER
HEART.
I WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE
BIG DOORS OPENED UP.
HE WAS STANDING THERE AND HIS
EYES WERE HUGE AND HE SAID, SHE
IS NOT BREATHING.
SO, I RUSHED TO HER ROOM AND
THERE SHE WAS, JUST A TINY,
WHITE, PALE AS A GHOST, AND THE
NURSE HAD ALREADY STARTED CPR
ON HER.
IT JUST KNOCKED THE BREATH OUT
OF ME.
WE PRAYED.
I MEAN, FROM THE GUT, BEGGING
GOD TO PLEASE, PLEASE SAVE HER.
PLEASE BRING OUR BABY BACK.
IT WAS JUST UNIMAGINABLE.
BUT WE HELD ONTO HOPE.
WE KEPT ON PRAYING.
DR. ATHOS COLON, A
CARDIOLOGIST, ALSO PERFORMED
CPR ON KATIE.
TECHNICALLY, KATIE WAS DEAD.
THE HEART WAS NOT BEATING.
THAT LASTED QUITE A LONG TIME.
WORD SPREAD THAT SHE WAS
FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE.
AMY'S COUSIN, MOOSE, RUSHED TO
THE HOSPITAL.
DURING ALL THE CHAOS AND THE
COMMOTION, I FELT AN URGE TO GO
TO THE SANCTUARY THERE IN THE
HOSPITAL AND IT WAS JUST ME --
I HEARD GOD SAY, KATIE IS NOT
GOING TO GO TODAY.
TODAY IS NOT HER DAY.
FOR OVER AN HOUR AND A HALF,
THE DOCTOR AND HIS TEAM
CONTINUE TO CPR ON KATIE'S
LIFELESS BODY.
THEY HAD DONE CPR FOR SO
LONG AND SHE STILL WAS NOT
COMING BACK.
WHEN WE WERE SITTING OUTSIDE
THE DOORWAY, KATIE'S DAD AND I
DISCUSSED CALLING OFF THE COLD.
AT THAT POINT IN TIME, IT WAS
JUST TORTURE FOR HER LITTLE
BODY.
NORMALLY, WE DO THAT FOR
ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AND
NORMALLY, AFTER THAT, WE
CONSIDER THE BRAIN TO HAVE
SUFFERED AND WE STOP.
FOR SOME REASON, KATIE, WE KEPT
GOING.
AND THEN WE HEARD THEM SAY
IT.
SHE HAD A HEARTBEAT.
SHE WAS ALIVE.
WE STILL WERE NOT OUT OF THE
WOODS AND WE KNEW IT.
BUT IT WAS A LOT OF HOPE, YOU
KNOW, THAT IT COULD -- THAT SHE
COULD POSSIBLY BE OKAY.
KATIE WAS ALIVE BUT WOULD
REQUIRE SURGERY FOR HER HEART
CONDITION.
AND HOW THE TRAUMA AFFECTED HER
BRAIN WAS STILL UNKNOWN.
WE THOUGHT THAT WE HAD SAVED
HER LIFE, BUT PROBABLY THE
BRAIN WAS DAMAGED.
THERE IS PROBABLY A 70%
CHANCE THAT KATIE WOULD HAVE
SEVERE BRAIN DAMAGE, TO THE
POINT THAT SHE WOULD BE UNABLE
TO FUNCTION.
AND LEFT THE ICU.
I WENT OUTSIDE.
I SAT ON A BENCH AND I JUST
CRIED.
I WAS SO GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR
GIVING HER BACK, BUT AT THE
SAME TIME, I WAS STILL SO
DEVASTATED.
AMY'S BEST FRIEND, JUDY,
STARTED A FACEBOOK PAGE, ASKING
FOR PRAYER ON KATIE'S BEHALF.
WE GOT RESPONSES FROM ALL
OVER THE COUNTRY.
RESPONSES CAME FROM OUTSIDE THE
COUNTRY.
WE HAD PRAYER CHAINS FROM, I
WOULD SAY, 1000 CHURCHES PEER
IT WAS AMAZING.
AFTER 48 HOURS, KATIE'S
CONDITION IMPROVED AND DOCTORS
WERE ABLE TO IMPLANT A
PACEMAKER.
AMY REMEMBERS THE DAY KATIE WAS
PUT BACK IN HER ARMS.
IT WAS BETTER THAN HOLDING
HER BABY FOR THE VERY FIRST
TIME.
TO BE ABLE TO HOLD HER AGAIN --
FOR A LITTLE WHILE, WE WERE NOT
SURE WE WERE GOING TO BE ABLE
TO HOLD HER AGAIN.
AFTER 12 DAYS IN THE
HOSPITAL, KATIE RETURNED HOME.
TODAY, SHE IS HEALTHY AND
ACTIVE, WITH NO SIGNS OF BRAIN
DAMAGE.
IF THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED
A MIRACLE, THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
THAT PART, I CANNOT EXPLAIN.
HOW CAN HER BRAIN SURVIVE SO
INTACT?
EVERY TIME I SEE HER, CALL HER
MY MIRACLE KID.
SHE IS DEFINITELY A MIRACLE
FROM GOD.
I MEAN, SHE WENT FROM A TOTAL
LIFELESS PERSON TO A THRIVING,
HAPPY YOUNG GIRL NOW.
SHE PLAYS SOFTBALL AND SHE
DANCES AND IS SO SMART.
WHEN I SEE HER SCAR, IT REMINDS
ME OF HOW BLESSED WE ARE.
AND I USED TO SAY THAT IT WAS
GOD'S FINGERPRINTS.
I REALIZED LATER THAT THE
FINGERPRINT IS INSIDE HER HEART.
YOU HEARD THE DOCTORS SAY
SHE WAS CLINICALLY DEAD AND
THEN SAY SHE IS A MIRACLE, THE
MIRACLE CHILD.
GOD IS STILL ACTIVE. I HOPE
THAT STORY INSPIRES YOU.
TEAR AND I WANT TO PRAY FOR
YOU, FOR WHATEVER YOUR NEED IS
IN LIFE.
BEFORE WE PRAY, WE WANT TO
REVIEW SOME ENCOURAGING PRAISE
REPORTS.
THIS IS A UNIQUE AND EXCITING
ONE.
REP HAS CONTACTED US BY EMAIL.
SIX YEARS AGO, I FELL BACKWARDS
DOWN A SPIRAL STAIRCASE.
I WAS LEFT WITH MUSCLE SPASMS
THAT BROUGHT ME TO MY KNEES.
TERRY WAS PRAYING FOR THE
HEALING OF SOMEONE THAT HAD AN
ACCIDENT FALLING DOWNSTAIRS SHE
SAID, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
BECAUSE THERE IS A CURVE TO THE
STAIRS.
GOD IS HEALING ALL THOSE
MUSCLES AND THE PAIN.
I FELT A WAVE OF HEAT IN MY
BODY AND I HAVE NOT HAD A
MUSCLE SPASM SINCE.
I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THINGS I
HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO IN
YEARS.
I NEVER BELIEVED YOU COULD GET
HEALING OVER THE TELEVISION BUT
I AM A BELIEVER NOW.
THAT IS FROM GOD.
I NEVER BELIEVED IT EITHER.
> THIS IS CHARLIE.
HE WROTE BY EMAIL, SAYING I WAS
WATCHING THE 700 CLUB WHEN ANDY
HAD A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE THAT A
VOTE WAS FOR ME . IT IS FUNNY
HOW PEOPLE KNOW WHEN THE WORD
IS FROM THEM.
THEY WILL SAY, I KNEW IT WAS ME
. HE SAID I PRAYED FOR GOD'S
PEACE, LOVE, AND JOY ALMOST
DAILY.
HE SAID, SOMEONE HAS BEEN
PRAYING FOR PEACE AND JOY AND
GOD HAS ANSWERED YOUR PRAYERS.
GO AHEAD AND ENJOY IT.
HE HAS GRANTED YOUR REQUEST.
I KNEW THAT DESCRIBES ME
PERFECTLY.
SINCE THEN, I'VE NOTICED A
TRANQUIL SPIRIT IN THE MIDST OF
ANXIETY, SO I AM PRAISING GOD
AND THANKING HIM.
THAT IS WONDERFUL NEWS.
THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW
WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE.
PLEASE JOIN WITH US.
FATHER, WE DO REJOICE.
WE THANK YOU FOR THOSE WHO ARE
WATCHING AND PARTICIPATING AND
PRAYING TO THEMSELVES OR FOR
OTHERS.
THERE ARE MANY THAT ARE
SIGNIFICANT -- WE HOPE WE CAN
BE A VESSEL FOR WHAT YOUR HOLY
SPIRIT IS DOING IN THE NAME OF
JESUS.
OVER AND OVER, I'M HEARING
IN MY HEAD -- WORK IN MIRACLE.
SOME OF YOU ARE PRAYING FOR
THINGS YOU CANNOT SEE THE
ANSWER TO.
YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND, LIKE
THIS COUPLE DID NOT, HOW IT
COULD BE TURNED AROUND BUT GOD
IS IN THE PROCESS.
YOUR PRAYER HAS BEEN HEARD.
BEGIN TO PRAISE HIM.
PRAISE HIM WITH EXPECTANCY IN
YOUR HEART.
> SOMEONE IS STARVING
THEMSELVES.
I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS BECAUSE
OF AN EATING DISORDER OR YOU
ARE GIVING UP AND WAITING TO
DIE BUT YOU HAVE BEEN LITERALLY
STARVING YOURSELF.
YOU ARE LIVING IN ISOLATION AND
THE LORD HAS SEEN THIS AND HE
IS ON THIS JOURNEY WITH YOU BUT
HE HAS MORE FOR YOU NOW.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
NOW, IT IS TIME FOR A
RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST.
HE HAS NOT GIVEN UP ON YOU.
YOU ARE FEELING IN YOUR SPIRIT
A CHANGE.
THERE IS A SENSATION COMING OF
HOPE OVER YOU AND THE LORD IS
GOING TO RESTORE -- THANK YOU,
LORD.
THERE IS SOME KIND -- YOU
HAVE ANGER MANAGEMENT ISSUES.
YOU KNOW YOU HAVE THEM AND HAVE
DESTROYED RELATIONSHIPS IN YOUR
LIFE AND YOU HAVE ASKED FOR
PRAYER BUT NEVER REALLY GIVEN
IT TO GOD.
RIGHT NOW, GIVE IT TO HIM.
JUST LIFT IT UP OUT OF YOUR --
PUT IT ON THE ALTAR BEFORE GOD
AND RECEIVE HIS PEACE AND POWER
TO CHANGE.
SOMETIMES, WE HAVE SIMILAR --
I AM HEARING ANGER BUT IT IS
ANGER AT GOD SPECIFICALLY.
THERE IS RAGE AND FURY AT GOD.
YOU TRUSTED HIM AND IT DID NOT
COME TO PASS.
YOU HAVE SHAME AND THINK HE
WILL NEVER RESTORE YOUR
RELATIONSHIP.
HE DESIRES AN INTIMATE
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.
HE WILL LOVE YOU AS MUCH AS HE
DID YESTERDAY.
HE IS STILL THERE FOR YOU.
RIGHT NOW, STOP LISTENING TO
THE ENEMY, WHO LIES TO YOU.
LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF TRUTH,
THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE COUNSELOR,
WHO SAYS GOD LOVES YOU AND IS
RAISING YOU WHAT.
> WE THANK YOU FOR MEETING
WITH US.
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR
FAITHFULNESS AND LOVE AND IT IS
IN JESUS' NAME WE PRAY.
CALL US IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED
A MIRACLE OR NEED PRAYER AT 1-
800-700-7000.
WE ARE LEAVING YOU -- HEAL ME,
LORD, AND I WILL BE HEALED.

FOR YOU ARE THE ONE I PHRASE.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
