> THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM IS

SPONSORED BY CBN.

> HE WAS A PHILADELPHIA FILLY

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

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.

SAVE ME AND I WILL BE SAVED,

FOR YOU ARE THE ONE I PHRASE.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
