Reporter: FRESH OFF A

> IN A DISCOVERY WITH

DIFFICULT SIGNIFICANCE, A

UNIQUE STONE FROM AN UNEARTHED

SYNAGOGUE WHERE JESUS LIKELY

PRAYED IS NOW BACK IN HIS HOME

IN GALILEE.

WE ARE LOOKING AT WHY THE

MAGADALA STONE IS SO SPECIAL.

DEEMED BY EXPERTS AS ONE OF

ISRAEL'S MOST IMPORTANT

DISCOVERIES, THEY SPENT YEARS

WITH THE ISRAEL ANTIQUITIES

AUTHORITY AND THEN WENT ON AN

INTERNATIONAL TOUR WITH

SHOWINGS IN NEW YORK AND ROME.

I MYSELF -- SO, I SAID

GOODBYE.

SEE YOU SOON TO THE STONE AT

THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY 2010.

SO, TO SEE THE STONE COME BACK

TODAY IS THE JOY.

Reporter: IN 2009,

ARCHAEOLOGISTS EXCAVATING HERE

UNCOVERED THE ORIGINAL MAGDALA

STONE.

THIS REPLICA STANDS IN THE

EXACT LOCATION WHERE THEY FOUND

IT.

THE DIRECTOR OF THE

ANTIQUITY AUTHORITY, AT THE

TIME OF THE DISCOVERY, HE WAS

LOOKING AROUND AND HE SAID THE

MAGDALA STONE HAS TO COME BACK

HERE BECAUSE THE SYNAGOGUE,

WITHOUT THE STONE, IS LIKE A

BEHEADED BODY.

Reporter: KNOWN AS THE CITY,

MAGADALA WAS A CITY ON THE SEA

OF GALILEE AND KNOWN AS THE

HOME OF MARY MAGDALENE.

IN 2005, THIS FATHER INITIATED

THE MAGADALA PROJECT TO

HIGHLIGHT JESUS' MINISTRY IN

THE REGION AND HONOR WOMEN OF

FAITH.

THEY BROKE GROUND IN 2009, AND

THE CENTER NOW INCLUDES AN

ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARK, A CHAPEL,

AND A HOTEL ON THE SHORES OF

THE SEA OF GALILEE.

WHEN I WAS ALLOWED TO

PURCHASE THE LAND, I THOUGHT IT

CANNOT ONLY BELONG TO THE

CATHOLIC CHURCH, BUT ALL

CHRISTIANS.

IT IS A PLACE FOR ALL

CHRISTIANS.

WHEN WE DISCOVERED THE

SYNAGOGUE AND THE FIRST

CENTURY, IT BELONGS TO THE

JEWISH PEOPLE.

IT IS A UNIQUE OBJECT AND IT IS

AN UNKNOWN COLLECTION OF WHAT I

THINK TO BE JEWISH SYMBOLISM,

WHICH SYMBOLIZES THE TEMPLE OF

JERUSALEM.

THIS ARCHAEOLOGIST BELIEVES

THE STONE HELD DEEP MEANING FOR

JEWISH WORSHIPERS, WHO COULD

NOT MAKE THE LONG TREK TO

JERUSALEM AND BACK.

THEY LOOKED AT THE STORM AND

THEY FELT JERUSALEM AND THE

TEMPLE AND GOD IN THEIR HEARTS.

THAT IS THE MEANING OF THE

STONE.

I AM ALWAYS ENGAGING THE

PEOPLE WHO COME AND, REALLY,

ACROSS A SECTION OF HUMANITY

COMES HERE.

WE SEE THE ARCHAEOLOGY HERE IS

A CROSSROADS OF JEWISH AND

CHRISTIAN HISTORY, BUT THE

SPIRIT OF MAGDALA IS A

CROSSROADS FOR EVERYBODY.

Reporter: HE BELIEVES A

RETURN OF THE ORIGINAL STONE

WILL DRAW PEOPLE HERE AT THE

MAGNET.

MAGDALA IS LIKE AN OASIS OF

ENCOUNTER.

WE HAVE A GREAT SPIRITUAL

ENCOUNTER AND I THINK THIS WILL

GIVE THAT FURTHER IMPULSE

BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL COME AND

THIS WILL CREATE CONVERSATION,

DIALOGUE, AND A QUEST FOR

UNDERSTANDING.

THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THE PAST

AND THE PRESENT.

THAT IS A PATHWAY FOR THE

FUTURE.

JULIE STAHL, CBN NEWS,

MAGDALA, ISRAEL.

I FEEL THAT MAGNET PULLING.

WE WANT TO THINK JULIE

STAHL THAT WE HAVE WHO BRING US

THE STORIES.

I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU WHO

HAVE EMAILED US AND CALLED THE

CDM, CHECKING ON GORDON.

GORDON IS TAKING SOME WELL-

DESERVED TIME OFF.

THIS IS A BUSY TIME.

HE IS RECHARGING AND WILL BE

BACK IN EARLY SEPTEMBER.

THANKS TO THOSE OF YOU THAT

CHECKED ON HIM.

HE IS DOING WELL.

A JEEP RUNS OFF THE ROAD AND

ROLLS OVER SEVERAL TIMES.

TWO OF THE THREE OCCUPANTS DIE

INSTANTLY.

THE THIRD IS ONLY BARELY ALIVE

AND THE DOCTORS DO NOT THINK

SHE IS GOING TO MAKE IT.

WATCH WHAT HAPPENS.

THAT IS COMING UP.

> THEY HAD ONLY WEEKS TO

LIVE, SO HOW ARE THESE TERMINAL

PATIENTS SURVIVING FOR YEARS?

WE WILL TAKE YOU INSIDE THE

CANCER CENTER THAT IS SAVING

LIVES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

> HE WAS GIVEN FOUR WEEKS TO

LIVE.

MICHELLE TUCKER WAS TOLD TO GO

HOME AND PUT HER AFFAIRS IN

ORDER. INSTEAD, SHE REFUSED TO

GIVE UP SHE TURNED TO A SMALL

CHRISTIAN HOSPITAL IN MEXICO

THAT HAS BEEN TREATING PATIENTS

LIKE MICHELLE FOR 60 YEARS.

GEORGE THOMAS TAKES US TO

TIJUANA FOR A FIRSTHAND LOOK AT

THE OASIS OF HOPE.

AUGUST 2017, MICHELLE TUCKER

REMEMBERS THE WORDS FROM THAT

DAY IN THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE AS

HER ONCOLOGIST DELIVER THE

NEWS.

I WAS TOLD THEY HAD ABOUT

FOUR WEEKS TO LIVE, TO GO HOME

AND GET MY AFFAIRS IN ORDER.

THE MOTHER OF THREE HAD

BATTLED CANCER SINCE SHE WAS

19.

IT STARTED IN HER BREAST, FIRST

SPREADING TO HER THYROID AND

THEN PANCREAS.

I FIGURED I WOULD TAKE MY

CHILDREN TO THE BEACH FOR THE

FIRST WEEK OF THOSE FOUR WEEKS.

WE WOULD JUST SIT ON THE BEACH.

I WAS LIKE, WHO IS TO TELL ME

WHAT MY EXPIRATION DATE IS.

ONLY ONE PERSON CAN AND THAT IS

NOT A DOCTOR.

NO OFFENSE TO MEDICINE.

THAT IS THE MAN UPSTAIRS.

Reporter: SHE RESEARCHED

ALTERNATIVE CANCER TREATMENTS

AND ENDED UP HERE AT THE OASIS

OF HOPE HOSPITAL.

YOU GET DIAGNOSED WITH

CANCER, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO

TRAVEL TO TIJUANA BUT WHEN THEY

HAVE REACHED A POINT WHERE THE

DOCTOR SAYING, WE CANNOT REALLY

DO ANYTHING ELSE FOR YOU, THIS

IS THE TYPICAL PERSON THAT

COMES TO OASIS OF HOPE.

25 MILES SOUTH OF SAN DIEGO

AND JUST ACROSS THE U.S.-MEXICO

BORDER, THEY BELIEVE GOD IS

USING OASIS OF HOPE TO GIVE HER

A CHANCE TO CONTINUE LIVING.

FROM THE MOMENT YOU WALK IN

THE DOOR, YOU FEEL THIS

OVERWHELMING SPIRITUAL PRESENCE.

THERE IS THE PASTOR THAT THINGS

WITH YOU.

THEY PRAY WITH YOU.

THEY BECOME A FAMILY.

SHE HAS BEEN IN REMISSION

FOR TWO YEARS.

THEY WERE STARTED IN 1963 BY

THE LATE MEXICAN DOCTOR ERNESTO

CONTRERAS SR., WHO BELIEVED IN

TAKING A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO

FIGHTING CANCER.

HIS SON, DR. FRANCISCO

CONTRERAS, NOW SERVES AS THE

HOSPITAL'S PRESIDENT.

MY FATHER FELT THAT THE

REASON FOR THE FAILURE IN

ONCOLOGY AND MEDICINE OVERALL

IS THAT WE HAVE BECOME JUST

MECHANICS OF THE HUMAN BODY.

Reporter: THE IDEA FOR OASIS

OF HOPE ORIGINATED BACK IN THE

EARLY 1960s, WHEN HIS FATHER

DECIDED TO GO ON A MISSIONS

TRIP TO GREECE AT ON THAT TRIP,

HE DISCOVERED THREE IMPORTANT

ELEMENTS THAT ARE AT THE CORE

OF THE HOSPITAL TODAY.

HE SAYS WHILE TRADITIONAL

ONCOLOGY FOCUSES ON DESTROYING

THE TUMOR, HIS FATHER, A

PHYSICIAN, ONE TO THE HOSPITAL

TO FOCUS ON THE PATIENT'S

EMOTIONAL RENEWAL, SPIRITUAL

REVIVAL, AS WELL AS PHYSICAL

RESTORATION.

THE FOUNDER'S GRANDSON, DANIEL

KENNEDY, SERVES AS THE

HOSPITAL'S CEO.

THERE IS NO OTHER CLINIC IN

TIJUANA THAT ACTUALLY HAS A

PASTOR ON THE PAYROLL, PRAYING

FOR PATIENCE EVERY DAY, OPENING

WITH PRAISE AND WORSHIP.

ERNESTO LOPEZ IS THAT

PASTOR.

HE USED TO LEAD A LOCAL CHURCH

IN TIJUANA.

NOW, HE WALKS THE CORRIDORS OF

THE HOSPITAL, MINISTERING TO

THE SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL

NEEDS OF PATIENTS.

THERE HAVE BEEN MIRACLES OF

HEALING AND SALVATION.

Reporter: USING A

COMBINATION OF CONVENTIONAL

TREATMENTS WITH ALTERNATIVE

THERAPIES SUCH AS WHOLE BODY

HYPOTHERMIA, OZONE THERAPY, AND

DENDRITIC CELL VACCINE IN

THERAPY, OASIS OF HOPE SAYS IT

HAS TREATED MORE THAN 100,000

CANCER PATIENTS FROM 60

COUNTRIES.

THE MAJORITY COME FROM THE

UNITED STATES BECAUSE WE ARE

JUST ACROSS THE BORDER FROM SAN

DIEGO, BUT --

YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF

EVERYTHING THAT LANDS ON A

PATIENT'S TABLE HERE AT OASIS.

THIS IS THE NUTRITIONIST.

SHE IS WORKING WITH KITCHEN

STAFF AND ROSA TESSADA HAS

DESIGNED A CANCER FIGHTING

PLANT-BASED FOOD PROGRAM TO

HELP PATIENTS LIVE A HEALTHIER

LIFE.

90% OF THE MEALS SERVED HERE

ARE VEGAN BASED.

WE DO NOT WANT TO MAKE

ANYBODY FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO

LEAVE YOUR OLD LIFE.

LET'S JUST ADD SOME MORE

GRAINS, MORE VEGETABLES, AND

KIND OF ENJOY FOOD AND GO ALONG

WITH IT.

Reporter: THEY GROW

VEGETABLES ON ITS ROOFTOP

GARDEN AND TEACHES PATIENTS HOW

TO PREPARE HEALTHY MEALS.

WHAT WE DO IS HELP THEM TO

SEE, HEY, YOU CAN MAKE VERY

HEALTHY DISHES VERY FAST AND

VERY EASY.

Reporter: THERE ARE SEVERAL

OPINIONS ON THIS ALTERNATIVE

APPROACH.

THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY

STATES SOME COMPLEMENTARY

METHODS HAVE GENERALLY NOT BEEN

PROVEN TO HELP PREVENT OR TREAT

CANCER OR ITS SYMPTOMS.

@TREATMENT PATIENTS MIGHT NY

CONSIDER WITH THEIR DOCTOR OR

CANCER TEAM.

WHILE DOCTORS AT OASIS OF HOPE

ARE PROUD TO SHARE SUCCESS

STORIES LIKE THESE, THEY POINT

OUT OTHER PATIENTS WHO COME

HERE WILL NOT MAKE IT.

STILL, THEY BELIEVE ALL DESERVE

TO BE TREATED WITH COMPASSION

AND THE LOVE OF CHRIST.

I BELIEVE THAT HOPE IS A

VERY POWERFUL TOOL AND THAT ALL

PATIENTS SHOULD HAVE HOPE

BECAUSE --

WHAT HE COME ALONG WITH HIS

TEAM OF DOCTORS, NURSES,

NUTRITIONISTS, PASTORS, AND

COUNSELORS --

I CANNOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING.

I CANNOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING FOR

MYSELF.

THE ONLY THING I CAN GUARANTEE

IS I'M GOING TO SIT WITH YOU

AND I'M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING

POSSIBLE AND I'M GOING TO

NEGOTIATE WITH YOU FOR LIFE AND

GOD WILL DECIDE YES, NO, OR

MAYBE.

Reporter: GEORGE THOMAS, CBN

NEWS, TIJUANA, MEXICO.

THERE IS HARDLY ONE OF US

WHO HAS NOT LOVED SOMEBODY THAT

HAS BATTLED CANCER OR MAYBE IS

OR SO MANY PEOPLE WE LOVE ARE

TOUCHED BY THIS HORRIBLE

CONDITION AND ARE GRATEFUL FOR

PEOPLE LIKE THE OASIS OF HOPE.

IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION,

GO TO CBNNEWS.COM.

TERRY AND I AM A LEADER, WE

WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU AND IF

YOU ARE FACING CANCER, WE WANT

TO TAKE THE TIME LATER TO PRAY

FOR YOU, SO STAY WITH US.

> NUMEROUS FRACTURES,

INTERNAL BLEEDING FROM THE

LIVER AND LUNGS.

THIS ACCIDENT VICTIM WAS ON

100% CRASHING.

HEAR HOW A PHONE CALL TO RADIO

STATION LED TO HER MIRACULOUS

SURVIVAL.

> AS MENTIONED, WE WILL BE

PRAYING FOR YOU RIGHT AFTER

THIS.

> A 20% CHANCE OF SURVIVAL.

THAT IS ALL THE HOPE DOCTORS

HAD FOR HEATHER HUGHES WHEN SHE

MADE IT TO THE TRAUMA CENTER.

HEATHER HAD BLOOD IN HER

ABDOMEN FROM LIVER LACERATION,

ALONG WITH A HOST OF OTHER LIFE-

THREATENING INJURIES.

BEFORE LONG, HER 20% CHANCE OF

SURVIVAL SHRANK TO 0%.

FIRST RESPONDERS ARRIVED AT

A SINGLE CAR ACCIDENT IN

OKTIBBEHA COUNTY , MISSISSIPPI.

A JEEP HAD RUN OFF THE ROAD AND

FLIPPED SEVERAL TIMES, THROWING

THREE OCCUPANTS FROM THE

VEHICLE.

TWO WERE CONFIRMED DEAD.

ONE, 26-YEAR-OLD HEATHER

HUGHES, SHOWED BARELY ANY SIGNS

OF LIFE.

THEY WERE NOT VERY SURE THAT

SHE WAS ALIVE AND THEN AS I GOT

TO HER, REALIZED SHE DID HAVE A

PULSE AND WE WERE ABLE TO WORK

ON HER.

STEWART BYRD AND CREW RUSHED

HEATHER TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL.

SOMEONE THERE WHO KNEW THE

FAMILY CALLED HEATHER'S MOM,

ANN.

SHE SAID, ANN, HEATHER HAS

BEEN IN A CAR WRECK AND IT

DON'T LOOK GOOD.

I IMMEDIATELY STARTED PRAYING

AND SAID, GOD, YOU CANNOT LET

HER DIE.

LATER, SHE AND HER HUSBAND

ARRIVED TO FIND MEDICAL STAFF

STILL FIGHTING TO SAVE THEIR

DAUGHTER.

WHEN I WALKED THROUGH THE

EMERGENCY ROOM DOORS AND SHE

WAS ON THAT STRETCHER AND THEY

WERE WORKING ON HER -- THE BONE

WAS STICKING OUT HERE.

SHE WAS REAL BLOODY.

THEY HAD A TUBE DOWN HER MOUTH

AND INTO HER THROAT.

SHE WAS JUST BAD.

HEATHER SUFFERED NUMEROUS

FRACTURES, A BROKEN NECK, AND

WAS BLEEDING INTERNALLY FROM

HER LIVER AND LUNGS.

NEEDING ADVANCED CARE, SHE WAS

PUT IN A MEDICALLY INDUCED COMA

AND SENT TO A LEVEL II TRAUMA

CENTER IN TUPELO, MISSISSIPPI.

I KISSED HER ON THE HEAD AND

TOLD HER I LOVED AND -- THEY

WENT AHEAD AND GOT HER TO

TUPELO AND WE CAME ON UP.

ON THE WAY UP, SHE CALLED

FRIENDS AND A CHRISTIAN RADIO

STATION, ASKING FOR PRAYER.

I CALLED WFCA AND HE PUT IT

OUT ON THE RADIO.

PEOPLE THAT I HAD NOT GOTTEN UP

WITH FOUND OUT ABOUT IT.

WE JUST PRAY THAT GOD WOULD

WORK A MIGHTY WORK IN HEATHER.

HEATHER MADE IT TO NORTH

MISSISSIPPI MEDICAL CENTER

ALIVE, WHERE DR. ROBERT McAULEY

AND HIS TEAM WERE WAITING.

THERE WAS ONLY A 20% CHANCE SHE

WOULD LIVE.

SHE HAD BLOOD IN HER

ABDOMINAL CAVITY.

SHE WAS BLEEDING FROM A LIVER

LACERATION.

THE BLOOD WE GAVE HER WOULD JUST

BLEED RIGHT BACK OUT.

I DID NOT THINK SHE WAS GOING

TO SURVIVE.

WHEN THEY ARRIVED AN HOUR

LATER, THEY WENT INTO SEE

HEATHER.

SHE WAS STILL WILL --

HE LOOKED AT ME AND HE SAID,

ANN, WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?

ANN FOUND A QUIET PLACE IN

THE HOSPITAL TO BE ALONE AND

PRAY.

I SAID, GOD, YOU GAVE HER TO

ME.

IF YOU WANT HER BACK, THEN YOU

CAN HAVE HER.

BUT, I SURE WISH YOU WOULD

LEAVE HER WITH ME FOR A WHILE

LONGER.

BUT, AGAIN, IF YOU THINK THIS

IS WHAT YOU WANT, THEN GIVE ME

THE STRENGTH TO GO THROUGH IT.

I FELT SUCH A PEACE COME OVER

ME THAT I DID NOT QUESTION IT

ANYMORE.

IT IS JUST SOMEHOW I KNEW SHE

WAS GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

BUT HOLDING ONTO THAT FAITH

WOULD BE TESTED WHEN HER VITALS

CRASHED AGAIN.

I GOT A CALL THAT HER

PRESSURE WAS 58/30 AND HER

OXYGEN SATURATION'S WERE BACK

LOW AGAIN.

SO, WE ARE GOING TO LOSE HER.

IT IS PROBABLY APPROACHING

100%.

ANN CONTINUED TO BELIEVE GOD

FOR A MIRACLE.

I WOULD LOOK AT THEM AND

SHE'S GOING TO BE FINE.

THEY REALLY THOUGHT I WAS

EITHER IN SHOCK OR CRAZY, BUT I

KNOW WHAT GOD HAD GIVEN ME WHEN

I PRAYED, SO I WAS NOT IN DOUBT

AT ALL.

AFTER SEVERAL HOURS, DR.

ROBERT McAULEY GOT HER

STABILIZED BUT HE WAS STILL

UNABLE TO OFFER ENCOURAGEMENT.

EVEN IF WE GET HER THROUGH

THE NEXT 72 HOURS AND SHE

STABILIZES THEN, WE START TO

WORRY ABOUT ARDS, SHOCK LUNG,

AND SEPSIS AND INFECTIONS

DEVELOPING PEER

MORE FAMILY MEMBERS BEGAN TO

ARRIVE AS WORD CONTINUED

SPREADING FOR PEOPLE TO PRAY.

HEATHER REMAINED DESTABILIZED

AND, TWO WEEKS LATER, WAS WELL

ENOUGH TO BE BROUGHT OUT OF HER

COMA.

I HAD TO SHOUT AND TELL

EVERYBODY.

SHE IS A FIGHTER.

I KNEW THAT IF SHE COULD GET

HER SENSE ABOUT HER, SHE WOULD

PULL THROUGH THIS WITH FLYING

COLORS.

THAT IS WHAT SHE DID.

THREE MONTHS AFTER THE

ACCIDENT, HEATHER WAS RELEASED.

WITH REST, REHAB, AND PRAYER,

SHE BEGAN TO HEAL, THANKFUL FOR

GOD'S MIRACLE.

IT IS SURREAL.

REALLY COOL HOW PRAYER WORKED

AND FAITH, JUST HOLDING ONTO

HIS PROMISED.

THANKING GOD THAT I MADE IT,

EVEN IN THIS MESS.

I HAVE MADE IT.

BY ALL ACCOUNTS, HER

RECOVERY IS NOTHING SHORT OF

MIRACULOUS.

HER LUNGS WERE COLLAPSED.

LIVER BLEEDING.

THE PAIN IN HER LEGS AND HEARD

-- EVERY RIVER BROKEN, CLAVICLE

BROKEN.

I MEAN, SHE SHOULD NOT BE

ALIVE.

THAT IS A GOOD MIRACLE.

SHE IS MARRIED AND WORKS AS

A NURSE.

SHE SAYS GOD HAS HEALED HER

PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND

SPIRITUALLY.

SHE AND HER FAMILY NO AS WELL

AS ANYONE WHAT IS POSSIBLE

THROUGH THE POWER OF PRAYER.

I KNOW HE HEARS ME AND HE

HAS ANSWERED MULTIPLE PRAYERS

SINCE THIS EVENT IN MY LIFE,

AND SO IT MAKES HIM MORE REAL.

I MEAN, IT IS JUST CONSTANT,

SEEING GOD'S HAND WORK FOR

EVERY BIT OF THIS AND IT IS

GOD.

IT IS NOT ANY OF US.

THERE COMES A POINT, I

THINK, WHEN WE ARE ALL JOINED

TOGETHER AND PRAYING FOR EACH

OTHER, WHERE YOU JUST EMBRACE

TRUST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE

SITUATION AND YOU LET GOD DO

WHAT HE DOES BEST.

MANY OF YOU ARE STRUGGLING WITH

ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

SOME OF YOU ARE CERTAINLY NOT

PHYSICAL.

SOME OF YOU HAVE FINANCIAL

ISSUES AND SOME ARE

RELATIONSHIP ISSUES.

GOD KNOWS YOU.

HE KNOWS YOU BY NAME AND HERE'S

WHERE PRAYERS AND HE INVITES US

TO COME TOGETHER, TO COME

TOGETHER AND TO APPROACH HIM.

THERE IS A POWER IN THAT WHEN

WE UNITE AND COME AND COME IN

HIS NAME.

WE WANT TO DO THAT WITH YOU.

WHATEVER YOU ARE STRUGGLING

WITH, WE DO HAVE SOME OTHER

ANSWERS TO PRAYER.

HEATHER WROTE, SHE SAID, ON

AUGUST 19th, ANDREW TALKED

ABOUT SOMEONE CRYING ABOUT

THEIR SON GOING TO COLLEGE.

I HAD BEEN WALKING WITH MY SON,

TRYING TO HOLD BACK TEARS, TO

STAY STRONG.

WHEN I GOT BACK TO MY RENTED

ROOM AND WAS WATCHING THE 700

CLUB PRERECORDED, I WAS

TEARFUL.

THAT IS WHEN THE WORD CAME IN I

KNEW IT WAS FOR ME.

WE BEGAN TO HAVE PEERS -- MY

SON IS IN GOOD HANDS.

GOD'S HANDS.

GOD WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE,

PROTECT, AND LEAVE MY SON.

I WAS ABLE TO SAY GOODBYE AND

FLY BACK HOME AND KEEP MY

COMPOSURE SO THAT MY SON DID

NOT HAVE TO FEEL GUILT, WORRY,

OR SADNESS FOR STEPPING OUT IN

FAITH FOR WHAT GOD HAS CALLED

THEM TO DO.

THANK YOU FOR DEMONSTRATING THE

POWER OF PRAYER AND TO ANDREW

FOR HIS COURAGE TO STEP OUT AND

SPEAK AS GOD LED HIM.

AMEN.

THAT IS SO SWEET.

I WAS PRAYING THAT AND

THINKING, LORD, THIS IS VERY

UNUSUAL.

YES, IT IS.

THE LORD CAN BE UNUSUAL.

HE IS USUALLY UNUSUAL.

THIS IS SUSAN.

I WAS HEALED OF ARTHRITIS IN

BOTH OF MY SHOULDERS WHEN TERRY

PRAYED REGARDING SOMEONE WITH

ARTHRITIS.

I PRAISED THE LORD FOR HIS

HEALING POWER AND I AM TOTALLY

PAIN-FREE.

LET'S PRAY NOW.

IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO PRAY FOR

YOU.

MANY OF YOU SAY, THIS IS OUR

FAVOR TIME OF THE PROGRAM, WHEN

YOU PRAY FOR THE AUDIENCE.

DO IT MORE.

PLEASE JOIN WITH US.

LORD, GOD, WE ARE HUMBLED TO BE

IN YOUR PRESENCE AND WE KNOW WE

HAVE AN AUDIENCE WITH YOU.

WE THANK YOU FOR THAT.

WE SAW THAT STORY EARLIER ABOUT

CANCER, PEOPLE AND FAMILIES

DEALING WITH CANCER DIAGNOSIS.

I WANT TO PRAY FOR THE

CAREGIVERS WHO ARE BATTLING

CANCER FOR ENERGY, FOR

SUPERNATURAL EMOTIONAL STRENGTH

UPON THESE CAREGIVERS WHO ARE

WEARY AND TIRED.

IN THE NAME OF JESUS, JUST GIVE

THEM A POWER AND STRENGTH THEY

DID NOT KNOW THEY COULD HAVE.

FOR THOSE FACING CANCER NOW, OF

COURSE, WE PRAY FOR HEALING WE

REBUKE CANCER IN THE NAME OF

JESUS.

RIGHT NOW, IF YOU HAVE CANCER,

OR JUST RECEIVED A DIAGNOSIS

YOU ARE BATTLING, LORD, WE KNOW

YOU BATTLE WITH THOSE WHO TRUST

IN YOU.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE FEARFUL

OR DISMAYED.

YOU ARE OUR GUIDE.

WE JUST PRAY FOR HEALING NOW.

WHATEVER THE CANCER DIAGNOSIS

IS, WHATEVER PART OF THE BODY

OR CONDITION, IN THE NAME OF

JESUS, WE REBUKE IT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEALING

POWER.

SOMEONE HAS AN ODD -- IT IS

LIKE A FUNGUS IN YOUR

FINGERNAILS AND IT IS AROUND

THE BASE OF YOUR NAIL AND IT IS

SO UNSIGHTLY.

IT IS LIKE EATING AWAY AT YOUR

NAILS.

IT IS AN ODD CALLER YOU ARE

ASHAMED OF YOUR HANDS.

GOD IS HEALING THAT CONDITION

RIGHT NOW.

LIFT UP THOSE HANDS AND BEGIN

TO PRAISE HIM AS HE DELIVERS

YOU FROM THIS.

A WOMAN CANNOT GET A THOUGHT

OUT OF HER HEAD ABOUT THE DOOR

SLAMMING BEHIND HER HUSBAND,

WHO WALKED OUT.

SHE IS IN DESPAIR.

GOD SAYS, I AM ENOUGH FOR YOU.

EVEN WHEN IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE

IT, I AM ENOUGH.

HE IS GOING TO WORK IN YOUR

MARRIAGE, WHAT IS LEFT OF IT.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, HE WANTS YOU

TO KNOW HE IS ENOUGH FOR YOU.

THANK YOU, LORD.

SOMEONE HAS AN ISSUE WITH

YOUR SON.

I DO NOT KNOW IF YOU HAVE HAD

SURGERY OR DETERIORATION.

YOUR FACE IS MISSHAPEN UNDER

YOUR EYE AND BY YOUR NOSE

BECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION YOU

HAVE HAD GOD IS HEALING THAT

FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.

THERE WILL BE NO MORE

SURGERIES, NO MORE PROCEDURES.

JUST BEGIN TO BREATHE CLEARLY,

EVEN THOUGH ONE PART OF THAT

SINUS CAVITY IS AFFECTED.

YOU WILL BREATHE CLEARLY AND

EVERYTHING WILL BE WELL AGAIN.

THERE IS A WOMAN WITH AN

INFANT AND THE BABY HAS BEEN

CHECKED OUT BY A DOCTOR.

THERE IS COUGHING.

THE LORD WILL HEAL THIS LITTLE

FRESH IS ONE OF THAT COUGH. IN

THE NAME OF JESUS, YOU WILL

STOP HEARING IT.

THANK YOU FOR INFUSING THIS

INFANT WITH LIFE AND CLEAR

LUNGS AND BREATHING POWER.

SOMEONE ELSE HAS

UNCONTROLLABLE HIGH BLOOD

PRESSURE AND YOU HAVE TAKEN

MULTIPLE MEDICATIONS.

YOUR DOCTOR IS STUMPED BUT YOU

ARE ALL CONCERNED.

GOD IS HEALING THAT CONDITION

FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.

JUST EXHALE AND THEN LIFT YOUR

HANDS AND BEGIN TO PRAISE HIM.

YOU ARE BEING SET FREE FROM

THAT.

SOMEONE IS PRAYING FOR AN

ALCOHOLICS SON AND YOU ARE IN

DESPAIR.

ALCOHOL HAS CONSUMED HIS LIFE.

THE LORD SAYS, I HAVE HIM.

JUST KEEP PRAYING.

PRAYING IS POWERFUL.

> WHEN THE HOUSING MARKET

CRASHED, CHRIS BURCH WAS HIT

HARD.

HE STOPPED GETTING PAID AND

STARTED TO FEEL THE PRESSURE.

STILL, HE STAYED THE COURSE AND

INCREASED HIS BUSINESS 10

TIMES.

AS THE COFOUNDER OF GRAND

BAY CONSTRUCTION, CHRIS BURCH

BUILDS VACATION HOMES AND

PROPERTIES ACROSS THE TOURIST

TOWN OF SANTA ROSA BEACH,

FLORIDA.

THIS IS A BIG TOURIST

DESTINATION.

I HAD PLANS TO BUILD A BIG

CONSTRUCTION COMPANY.

I HAD SOME PARTNER'S.

WITHIN TWO YEARS, THE

HOUSING MARKET BEGAN TO CRASH

AND CHRIS AND HIS FINANCIAL

PARTNERS QUICKLY FELT THE

PRESSURE.

PRICES IN REAL ESTATE WERE

BEING DROPPED AND DROPPED AND

DROPPED AND DROPPED AND THE

OWNERS DEFAULTED AND COULD NOT

PAY US.

SO, WE WERE SORT OF LEFT WITH A

LOT OF OBLIGATIONS FINANCIALLY

THAT WE COULD NOT KEEP GOING

ON.

I DID NOT PANIC BUT IT WAS SORT

OF LIKE, OKAY, WHAT IS GOING

ON?

WE HAVE A STORM COMING.

CHRIS IS A CHRISTIAN AND HAS

BEEN A FAITHFUL TITHER SINCE

HIS MID-20s.

WITH HIS BUSINESS STRUGGLING,

HE HAD TO DECIDE IF HE SHOULD

STOP GIVING.

THE LORD HAS TAKEN CARE OF

ME ALL THESE YEARS, EVEN WHEN

THINGS HAVE BEEN TIGHT.

WHY WOULD I NOT TRUST HIS WORD

AND WHY WOULD I JUST BORROW

FROM THEM OR STEAL FROM HIM?

I SAID, I'M NOT GOING TO DO

THAT.

TO SHOW THE LORD I REALLY DO

BELIEVE HIM AND I REALLY TRUST

HIM, I AM GOING TO GIVE MORE

THAN I AM GIVING NOW, EVEN

THOUGH MY INCOME IS GOING DOWN.

THIS WAS SOMETHING I FELT THE

LORD SAID -- JUST TRUST ME.

HE WAS AMAZED AT WHAT

HAPPENED TO HIS FINANCES AFTER

12 MONTHS.

I HAD PAID OFF MY GRADUATE

SCHOOL LOANS, WHICH WAS PRETTY

AMAZING, AND I HAD SAVED MORE

MONEY IN THAT ONE YEAR THAN I

HAD IN THE PREVIOUS FIVE YEARS

COMBINED PEER GOD'S ECONOMY

DOES NOT WORK THE WAY OURS

DOES.

THERE IS NO WAY I CAN EXPLAIN

THAT.

HE SAID, YOU TRUSTED IN ME AND

I WILL PROVIDE FOR YOU.

HIS BUSINESS SURVIVED THE

RECESSION AND HE HAS SEEN EVEN

MORE INCREDIBLE GROWTH.

FROM THOSE DAYS, WHEN WE

FIRST GOT STARTED, I MEAN, I DO

NOT KNOW THE EXACT NUMBERS BUT

I WOULD SAY WE ARE CLOSE TO

ALMOST 10 TIMES IN VOLUME SALES

OF WHAT WE WERE DOING BACK

THEN.

HE CONTINUES TO TITHE AND

GIVES TIME AND MONEY TO

MINISTRIES THAT SERVE THOSE IN

NEED, LIKE CBN.

OPERATION BLESSING AND ALL

THOSE TYPE THINGS, REALLY

BELIEVE IN THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

I LOVE BEING A PART OF A BIGGER

ORGANIZATION THAT IS DOING THE

SAME THINGS AND IS CHANGING THE

WORLD AND BRINGING LIGHT TO THE

DARKNESS.

HE HAS INCREASED THE BUSINESS

AND, IN RETURN, WE TAKE A

PORTION OF OUR BUSINESS AND

TURN IT BACK TO THE KINGDOM,

WHETHER IT IS BUYING BIBLES OR

WE HAVE MISSION PROJECTS ALL

OVER THE WORLD, WHERE WE ARE

HELPING SPREAD THE GOSPEL.

ACCORDING TO CHRIS, YOU

OVERCOME FINANCIAL STRAIN BY

FOLLOWING GOD'S FINANCIAL

PRINCIPLES.

IF YOU DO WHAT HE ASKS, HE

WILL GIVE YOU HIS PEACE.

EVEN, IN MY CASE, THERE IS NO

WAY IT WOULD WORK ON PAPER BUT

EVERYTHING TURNED OUT BETTER.

HE HAS PROVEN TO ME THAT HE

WILL TAKE CARE OF ME, EVEN

THROUGH THOSE DIFFICULT TIMES.

WE APPRECIATE CHRIS SHARING

HIS STORY WITH US.

I HOPE THAT SERVES AS AN

ENCOURAGEMENT FROM A VIEWER

GOING THROUGH FINANCIAL

CHALLENGE.

SO MANY ARE.

HERE IS A GENTLEMAN WHO SAID HE

WAS EARNING LESS BUT HE DECIDED

TO GIVE GOD MORE, EVEN THOUGH

HIS INCOME HAD DECREASED.

THAT TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE AND

TRUST BUT HE LEARNED HE COULD

TRUST GOD.

I WAS MAKING AN OFFERING TO A

MINISTRY, TO A CHURCH

ORGANIZATION.

IT WAS NOT AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT

BUT I FELT GOD TELLING ME TO DO

SOMETHING EXTRA AND I WAS NOT

COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

I SAID I HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT IN

MIND AND I FELT THE LORD SAY,

YOU KNOW, HAVEN'T I DONE ENOUGH

FOR YOU?

HAVEN'T I BEEN WALKING WITH

YOU.

IT IS ABOUT GRATITUDE AND IT IS

A WAY FOR ME TO SHOW WORSHIP

AND GRATITUDE.

WHEN JESUS HEALED THE 10 LEPERS

AND ONE CAME BACK TO SAY THANK

YOU?

JESUS SAID, DIDN'T I HEAL 10?

WHERE ARE THE OTHER NINE.

WHAT I DID WAS NOT HEROIC THAT

I WANTED TO SAY I THANK YOU AND

I TRUST YOU.

PERHAPS YOU ARE NOT A 700 CLUB

PARTNER.

THIS IS A GREAT MINISTRY TO

GIVE TO.

I HAVE BEEN WORKING YOUR A FEW

DECADES AND BEEN A PARTNER

LONGER AND I HAVE SEEN

FIRSTHAND THE GREAT WORK CBN

DOES SPREADING THE GOSPEL.

IF YOU WANT TO PARTNER WITH US,

YOU CAN DO SO EASILY.

YOU CAN CALL US AT 1-800-700-

7000 AND SAY, I WOULD LIKE TO

BE A 700 CLUB PARTNER.

IT IS $20 A MONTH.

WE WILL SEND SOMETHING BACK TO

YOU.

IT IS A GREAT TEACHING BY PAT

ROBERTSON.

IT IS CALLED PUTTING ON THE

ARMOR OF GOD.

IT IS A STUDY OF EPHESIANS,

THAT STANDING FIRM IN GOD'S

POWER.

THE ARMOR OF GOD IN EPHESIANS 6

IS CRUCIAL.

WE WANT TO SEND YOU THIS

TEACHING.

YOU CAN CALL 1-800-700-7000.

> ONE CARELESS MISTAKE AND

YOU COULD DIVE.

THAT IS EVERYDAY REALITY LIVING

IN THE ALASKAN WILDERNESS.

MEET A FORMER NAVY SEAL WHO HAS

BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS.

HE WILL TELL US WHY WHEN WE

COME BACK.

> FREE BACK-TO-BACK

DEPLOYMENTS WITHIN FIVE YEARS.

DEPLOYMENTS WITHIN FIVE YEARS.

THIS FOR ME -- WHY DID HE GO TO

THE WILDERNESS OF ALASKA TO

LIVE WHERE EVERY DAY IS A

STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE?

WHAT LESSONS CAN WE LEARN FROM

HIS BIGGEST CHALLENGES?

SEE FOR YOURSELF.

AT FEWER THAN TWO PEOPLE PER

SQUARE MILE, ALASKA BOASTS THE

LOWEST POPULATION DENSITY IN

THE COUNTRY.

FOR PEOPLE LIKE BRIAN HEAPHY,

THAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST

REASONS TO LIVE HERE.

AFTER GRADUATING FROM THE NAVAL

ACADEMY AND A SUCCESSFUL CAREER

, HE NEEDED A CHANGE OF PACE.

THE DEPLOYMENTS ARE SIX

MONTHS LONG AND I DID THREE

BACK-TO-BACK DEPLOYMENTS.

I FELT VERY FORTUNATE TO STILL

BE ALIVE AT THE END OF THOSE

FIVE YEARS.

AFTER RESIGNING, HE WENT

BACK TO HIS CHILDHOOD PASSION,

THE GREAT OUTDOORS.

I WAS VERY BLESSED TO BE

ABLE TO GROW UP IN A RURAL

AREA, YOU KNOW.

THAT WAS ALWAYS MY DRAW, TO THE

OUTDOORS, TO THE WILDERNESS.

HE TOOK A JOB AS A RIVER

GUIDE IN ALASKA AND LOVED THE

CHALLENGES OF LIVING OFF THE

GRID.

HIS MILITARY EXPERIENCE SERVES

HIM WELL WHEN HE IS ON HIS OWN

IN THE BACKCOUNTRY.

PREPARATION, SELF

DISCIPLINE, LEARNING TO FORM

REALISTIC GOALS ACCORDING TO

THE TIME YOU HAVE AVAILABLE.

CHORES LIKE THIS ARE A

STANDARD PART OF LIFE OUT IN

THE ALASKAN WILDERNESS BUT IT

IS NOT A PASTIME OF FITNESS.

THIS IS SURVIVAL.

THE PROBLEM IS IT COMES WITH

ITS OWN SET OF RISKS.

IF YOU GET HURT OUT HERE, IT IS

A LONG WAY TO THE NEAREST

HOSPITAL.

THAT MEANS YOU HAVE GOT TO BE

EXTRA CAREFUL AND VERY

METICULOUS ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU

DO.

WHERE I LIVE NOW, A LITTLE

MISTAKE AT 60 DEGREES BELOW

ZERO IN THE DARK CAN TURN INTO

A LIFE THREATENING SCENARIO.

IT DOES.

SOME CALL IT MURPHY'S LAW.

I CALL IT THE LAW OF

OPPOSITION.

THERE IS ALWAYS THINGS WORKING

AGAINST YOU.

AND SURVIVAL IS ALL ABOUT

MAKING THE BEST USE OF THE

RESOURCES YOU HAVE AVAILABLE.

BUT GETTING AWAY FROM

CIVILIZATION DOES NOT EQUATE TO

A STRESS FREE LIFE.

THERE IS ALWAYS MORE TO DO THAN

TIME TO DO IT.

LIVING HERE IN A VERY

AUSTERE ENVIRONMENT, ONE OF THE

MOST UNFORGIVING ENVIRONMENTS

ON THE PLANET BECAUSE OF THE

COLD AND THE DARKNESS AND THE

RAPID CHANGE OF SEASONS, YOU

BEGIN TO LEARN AND TO FOCUS ON

THE ECONOMY OF TIME.

THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY HOURS IN

A DAY.

IT DOES ADD A SENSE OF URGENCY

AND INTENSITY AND REVEAL TO YOU

WHAT REALLY IS IMPORTANT, WHAT

REALLY DOES MATTER AND A LOT OF

WHAT GOES ON IN THE WORLD IT

DOES NOT MATTER.

LIVING OUT IN SUCH A VAST

COUNTRY, YOU REALIZE HOW SMALL

YOU ARE AND VULNERABLE AND

FRAGILE.

LEARNING TO MOVE WITH PURPOSE,

TO FORM A CAREFUL PLAN WITH

EACH STRIKE OF AN AX, I WOULD

RATHER DO SOMETHING WELL ONCE

THEN HAVE TO GO BACK AND DO IT

TWICE WHEN I HAVE GOT OTHER

THINGS TO DO.

WITH ALL THE DANGERS HE HAS

CONFRONTED IN 20 YEARS OF

LIVING IN THE BUSH, HE HAS

DISCOVERED THAT NATURE IS NOT

THE BIGGEST THREAT HE FACES.

THE GREATEST DANGER TO ME IS

ME.

IF I AM NOT DISCIPLINED AND I

DO NOT KEEP GOD FIRST IN MY

LIFE, IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

HE HAS LEARNED THAT BY

LIVING IN AN INTENTIONAL LIFE,

EVERY TOUR CAN BECOME A

SPIRITUAL ACT OF WORSHIP.

GETTING WHAT. HAULING WATER.

COOKING.

CLEANING, KEEPING AHEAD OF THE

SEASONAL CHANGES AND MAKING

SURE YOU ARE STOCKED UP.

EXERCISING YOUR BODY, WHICH IS

NOT TOO HARD TO DO.

BUT I THINK MY LIFE COULD BEST

BE DESCRIBED AS THE PERFECTION

OF VITAL ACTIVITY.

THAT IS WHAT I ENGAGE IN.

HOW CAN I BECOME BETTER AT ANY

GIVEN TASK AT ANY TIME TO

BECOME MORE EFFICIENT, MORE

SAFE, AND MORE PRODUCTIVE?

THERE IS A JOY AND THAT.

BRIAN HAS TAKEN THE LESSONS

HE HAS LEARNED LIVING OFF THE

GRID AND PUT THEM INTO

DEVOTIONAL FORM, BOTH WITH

SCRIPTURE BASED GREETING CARDS

CONTAINING HIS OWN PHOTOGRAPHY

AND IN HIS NEW BOOK, CRYSTAL

VISION.

IT IS FOR BELIEVERS AND

UNBELIEVERS ALIKE TO CONSIDER

ETERNAL THINGS.

IRONICALLY, ONE OF THE

BIGGEST LESSONS HE HAS LEARNED

SPENDING YEARS BY HIMSELF IS

THE IMPORTANCE OF FELLOWSHIP.

IT IS GOOD AND INSTRUCTIVE

TO HAVE A GETAWAY, OR YOU CAN

DRAW NEAR TO GOD, FOCUS ON HIM,

PRAY THAT HE WILL REVEAL MORE

OF HIS CHARACTER AND TO REVEAL

MORE OF HIS WISDOM, BUT THERE

IS NO WISDOM IN HAVING A

STAYAWAY LIFESTYLE.

YOU'RE NOT PART OF THE

SOLUTION.

YOU DO NOT GROW.

FELLOWSHIP IS A HUGE PART OF

THE CHRISTIAN WALK.

WE ARE STRENGTHENED BY OUR

BROTHERS ANCESTORS.

IF THEY ARE TRUE FRIENDS,

BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THEY CAN

POINT OUT WHERE HE MIGHT BE

SLIPPING.

RIVER MAYBE SEND IN OUR LIFE.

MY INITIAL PURPOSE IN GOING

OUTSIDE AND STRIKING OUT ON MY

OWN AND DEVELOPING THIS LIFE, I

HAD A GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT I

WANTED, BUT THERE IS THAT OLD

SAYING, MAKE YOUR PLANS IN

PENCIL AND GIVE GOD THE ERASER.

I'M SO THANKFUL HE TOOK THAT

ERASER AND REARRANGED MY

PRIORITIES.

IT ALL WORKED TOGETHER

BEAUTIFULLY.

HE IS RIDING A GREAT BOOK

CALLED CHRISTIAN BISSON. YOU

CAN ALSO FIND MORE ON HIS

WEBSITE.

IT IS A GREAT DEVOTIONAL.

I AM FASCINATED WITH HIS STORY.

I FEEL LIKE, IN SOME WAYS, OUR

LIVES ARE NOT TOTALLY DIFFERENT

THAN BRIAN'S, IN THE SENSE OF

WE'RE NOT BABBLING -60 DEGREE

WEATHER IN THE DARK BUT

SOMETIMES WE ARE OUR OWN WORST

ENEMY WHAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT?

WHAT ARE WE PRIORITIZING.

THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE LIFE AND

HE HAS CHALLENGES WE DO NOT

HAVE.

HE NEEDS TO MAKE SURE

EVERYTHING IS ATTENDANT TO.

LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT PROBLEMS

24, HE SAID HE WENT PAST THE

FIELD OF THE LAZY MAN AND

PATTED THE VINEYARD OF THE ONE

WHO IS NOT CARING FOR IT.

WHAT HE SAW WAS THORNS GROWING

AND WEEDS OVERTAKING THE

POVERTY AND THE STONEWALL

CRUMBLING.

IT IS A GREAT ILLUSTRATION OF

WHAT HAS GOD CALLED US TO

STEWARD?

MAYBE HUSBAND HAVE THEIR

MARRIAGE AND THEIR CHILDREN OR

THEIR JOBS AND WE ALL HAVE OUR

OWN RESPONSIBILITIES AND AREAS

OF STEWARDSHIP THAT GOD HAS

GIVEN US 210 TWO.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

IS IT FINDING WEEDS GROWING OR

IS THERE RUBBLE?

THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO REFLECT

ON HOW AM I TENDING TOWARD WHAT

GOD HAS GIVING ME?

HOW AM I KEEP IMPORTANT WHAT IS

REALLY IMPORTANT?

THERE IS GREAT LESSON TO BE

LEARNED.

BOOK IS CALLED CRYSTAL VISION.

WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OVER THREE

MINUTES AND SOME EMAIL

QUESTIONS?

THIS ONE COMES FROM CAITLIN,

WHO SAYS, HELLO.

I'M A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL

AND MY QUESTION IS WHAT ADVICE

OR SCRIPTURE WOULD YOU GIVE ME

AS I GO INTO THIS NEW STAGE OF

MY LIFE?

CAITLIN, I THINK IT IS

REMARKABLE YOU ARE ASKING THIS.

SERIOUSLY.

I THINK THAT WHEN YOU MOVE FROM

EIGHTH GRADE INTO HIGH SCHOOL,

THAT IS A VERY BIG TRANSITION.

I WAS LISTENING TO SOMEONE

TEACHING YESTERDAY ABOUT THE

FACT THAT SO MANY OF US, SO

MANY PEOPLE OPERATE OUT OF

FEELING A LACK, LIKE I AM NOT

ENOUGH AND DO NOT HAVE THIS OR

THAT AND THEN WE BEGIN TO LOOK

FOR EXTERNAL THINGS TO VALIDATE

WHO WE ARE INSTEAD OF

UNDERSTANDING HOW LOVED WE ARE

BY GOD.

I WOULD SAY TO YOU, GET CLOSE

TO JESUS.

LOOK FOR WHERE YOU CAN MAKE A

DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF

FELLOW STUDENTS AND DO NOT JUST

GO THROUGH IT WITHOUT THINKING.

YOUR QUESTION -- LIVED

THOUGHTFULLY AND ASKED GOD HOW

HE WILL USE YOU.

I THINK COMPARISON IS SO

DAMAGING AT ANY AGE.

WHEN WE COMPARE OURSELVES TO

OTHERS, IT LEADS TO ANXIETY.

I DO NOT THINK THERE IS ANY

DOUBT ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY IN

HIGH SCHOOL.

I KNOW THIS IS EASY IN

PRINCIPLE BUT IT IS HARD TO

LIVE OUT.

WHEN WE COMPARE OURSELVES TO

FRIENDS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THAT

IS WHERE ANXIETY STARTS.

DO YOUR BEST NOT TO COMPARE

YOURSELF TO OTHERS.

STAY ROOTED IN THE WORD OF GOD.

ALSO, REALIZE YOUR DIGITAL

FOOTPRINT IS FOREVER.

WHAT YOU SAY ON SOCIAL MEDIA,

WHAT YOU COMMENT ON, PICTURES

YOU POST, THAT STUFF IS THERE

FOREVER.

BE WISE AND DISCERNING, NOT TO

JUST TYPE SOMETHING AND SEND IT

OUT.

ALSO, I TALKED TO SOMEONE IN

HIGH SCHOOL ABOUT THIS AND THE

CONVERSATION WENT, AS MUCH AS

YOU CAN, DO NOT LOWER YOUR

STANDARDS TO FIND ACCEPTANCE.

I KNOW THAT IT'S HARD.

PEER PRESSURE, THERE IS JOY AND

FUN AND TOUGH, LONELY TIMES.

LOOKING BACK, THINK A LOT OF US

WOULD SAY, WE WISHED WE HAD NOT

LOWERED OUR STANDARDS JUST TO

FIT IN.

YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS SCRIPTURE,

THE WORD OF GOD IS A TREASURE

TROVE OF WHAT YOU WILL NEED IN

THE MOMENT AND YOU WILL NEVER

BE DISAPPOINTED.

WORD IS A LIGHT TO OUR PATH.

THE FACT THAT SHE IS ASKING

THIS QUESTION, THE SPIRIT IS

WORKING.

BE ENCOURAGED.

THIS IS MELISSA, WHO SAYS, I

HAVE A DESIRE TO BE MARRIED AND

I AM IN MY MID-40s AND HAVE

NEVER BEEN MARRIED.

I KNOW EVERYTHING HAPPENS IN

GOD'S PERFECT TIMING BUT DO YOU

THINK I SHOULD JUST WAIT UPON

THE LORD OR JOIN A CHRISTIAN

DATING SITE?

I WOULD SAY, SHOULD I WAIT

UPON THE LORD OR JOIN A

CHRISTIAN DATING SITE?

MAYBE THAT IS JUST THE WAY IT

WAS PHRASED.

IF IT IS ONE OR THE OTHER AND

YOU WANT TO WAIT UPON THE LORD

-- THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH

A DATING SITE.

AS LONG AS YOU ARE DISCERNING

AND CAUTIOUS AND THERE ARE A

LOT OF STRANGE PEOPLE.

THE THING ABOUT ANY WEBSITE

IS THEY CAN MAKE IT LOOK AS

GREAT AS THEY WANT IT TO BE.

THEY CAN PRESENT THEMSELVES.

SOMETIMES THE PICTURE IS NOT

EVEN THEM.

OR FROM 25 YEARS AGO.

BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU WILL

DO THAT AND DO NOT COMMIT TO

ANYTHING.

SOME PEOPLE SAY, IS IT A

SIN?

NO, JUST BE REALLY CAREFUL.

KEEP TELLING GOD YOU ARE

WAITING ON HIM AND YOU KNOW HE

HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE AND

YOU WANT HIS PLAN.

THINK OF ALL THE BAD

RELATIONSHIPS THAT MAY HAVE

BEEN AVOIDED BY WAITING.

GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE

TOWARD US IN THAT WHILE WE WERE

STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR

US.

WE THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US
