PARALYZED IN A SKI ACCIDENT.
HE STARTED CRYING AS SOON AS
HE SAW US.

I WALKED
Reporter: JONATHAN CAHN
REVEALS AN ANCIENT MYSTERY.
WHAT SCRIPTURE CAN TELL US
ABOUT THE NEWS OF TODAY ON THIS
EDITION OF THE 700 CLUB.
> HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE
700 CLUB.
IT IS FEARFULLY PLAUSIBLE THAT
AMERICA COULD GO TO WAR WITH
CHINA OVER TAIWAN.
THAT IS ACCORDING TO A FORMER
DEFENSE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL.
THEY ARE THREATENING TO
RESPOND WITH MILITARY FORCE IF
CHINA'S ARMED FORCES BLEACHES
TERRITORIAL WATERS OR AIR
SPACE.
GEORGE THOMAS EXPLAINS THE
GRAVE DANGER BEHIND THESE
TENSIONS.
Reporter: CHINA EXPERT
GORDON CHANG SAYS BEIJING IS
GEARING UP FOR WAR.
A CHINESE ENTREPRENEUR, A
FEW WEEKS AGO, TOLD ME THAT
LOCAL CADRES, OFFICIALS, CAME
UP TO HIM AND SAID HE IS NO
LONGER PRODUCING MEDICAL
EQUIPMENT FOR CIVILIANS.
FACTORY WILL BE CONVERTED TO
WAR PRODUCTION.
THIS WAS NOT JUST AN ISOLATED
CASE.
Reporter: HE CALLED THE
OFFICIAL -- AMERICA SHOULD
PREPARE FOR WAR WITH CHINA OVER
TAIWAN, WARNING A CONFLICT HAS
GONE FROM A REMOTE SCENARIO TO
A FEARFULLY PLAUSIBLE ONE.
GORDON CHANG SAYS BEIJING IS
ALREADY MAKING PREPARATIONS.
THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY
IS TRYING TO SANCTION PROVE
ITSELF, SO, FOR INSTANCE, IT
HAS TOLD OFFICIALS TO SELL
THEIR FOREIGN ASSETS SO THEY
CANNOT BE TAKEN AWAY BY FOREIGN
GOVERNMENTS IF THEY WANT TO
IMPOSE COSTS ON CHINA FOR
INVASION.
Reporter: THIS, AS TENSIONS
SOAR IN THE TAIWAN STRAIT.
ON TUESDAY, FOR THE FIRST TIME,
TAIWAN FIRED AT CHINESE DRONES
NEAR THE KINMAN ISLAND.
THEY WITHOUT FURTHER
COUNTERATTACKS IF CHINESE
PROVOCATIONS CONTINUE.
THAT INCLUDES TAIWAN PUMPING
MORE MONEY INTO ITS DEFENSE
BUDGET.
THAT IS ALREADY A RECORD $19
BILLION THIS YEAR.
WHILE BEIJING CONTINUES TO
CLAIM SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE
ISLAND, TAIWAN'S PRESIDENT, THE
ELICITING A MILITARY BASE NEAR
CHINA'S COASTLINE URGED
SOLDIERS TO KEEP THEIR COOL IN
THE FACE OF GROWING THREATS.
I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT THE
MORE PROVOCATIVE THE ENEMY IS,
THE MORE CALMLY NEED TO BE.
Reporter: CHINA HAS KEPT UP
MILITARY PRESSURES SINCE NANCY
PELOSI'S VISIT TO TAIPEI
EARLIER THIS MONTH, WITH ALMOST
DAILY WARPLANE FLIGHTS IN THE
TAIWAN STRAIT.
THEY ARE PRACTICING FOR WAR.
WE SAW THAT WHEN THEY WERE
FLYING OVER EXCURSION ZONES.
GOD KNOWS WHAT THEY HAVE UP
THEIR SLEEVE IN BEIJING.
Reporter: TAIWAN'S
MILITARIES SAID THEY SHOT DOWN
A DRONE TODAY THAT WAS BUZZING
OVER THE SAME AREA WHERE THE
CHINESE DRONES WERE FLYING
EARLIER IN THE WEEK.
WITH THE GROWING FEARS THAT
CHINA IS PREPARING TO TAKE
TAIWAN BY MILITARY FORCE, THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS
REPORTEDLY PLANNING TO ASK
CONGRESS TO APPROVE A MORE THAN
$1 BILLION IN ARMS SALES TO
TAIWAN, INCLUDING ANTITANK
MISSILES, SURVEILLANCE RADAR
TECHNOLOGY, AND TACTICAL AIR TO
AIR MISSILES.
WHAT IS YOUR TAKE?
I THINK AMERICANS -- WITH A
REALLY ENTER INTO MILITARY
CONFLICT WITH CHINA OVER
TAIWAN?
ARE WE OBLIGATED TO DO SO?
LET ME ANSWER THE SECOND
QUESTION.
YES, WE ARE OBLIGATED BECAUSE
UNDER THE TAIWAN RELATIONS ACT,
WHICH WAS SIGNED 43 YEARS AGO,
IT SAYS WHILE THE U.S. WILL NOT
MILITARILY INTERVENE SHOULD
CHINA, FOR EXAMPLE, INVADE
TAIWAN, THE U.S. HAS A
COMMITMENT, HAS AN OBLIGATION
TO MAKE AVAILABLE WHAT THEY SAY
SUCH DEFENSE OBSTACLES AND
DEFENSE SERVICES TO TAIWAN, IN
ESSENCE, TO ALLOW THEM TO
DEFEND THEIR ISLAND NATION.
WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT IN LIGHT
OF THE ESCALATING TENSIONS IN
THE TAIWAN STRAIT, IN A COUPLE
OF DAYS, THE SENATE RELATIONS
COMMITTEE IS GOING TO BRING UP
SOME VERY IMPORTANT LEGISLATION
THAT WOULD, IN ESSENCE, UPGRADE
THE 1943 -- THE THING THAT WAS
SIGNED 43 YEARS AGO TO UPGRADE
IT AND BE MORE SPECIFIC,
ANDREW, AND IT WOULD COMMIT
SOME SERIOUS MILITARY HARDWARE
TO THE TAIWANESE TO PROTECT
THEMSELVES, AGAIN.
JUST ANOTHER INDICATION OF THE
CHALLENGES WE ARE FACING.
JUST SHIFTING FOCUS.
THEY RELEASED A REPORT
DETAILING REALLY SERIOUS HUMAN
RIGHTS VIOLATIONS AGAINST
UIGHUR MUSLIMS.
HOW SERIOUS ARE THESE
VIOLATIONS?
I THINK, IN ESSENCE, IT
COLLABORATES WHAT HUMAN RIGHTS
GROUPS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND THE FACT
THE LARGEST HUMAN RIGHTS BODY
HAS COME OUT, IN ESSENCE,
CORROBORATING WHAT THE EVIDENCE
HAS SHOWN OVER THE LAST FEW
YEARS AND IT IS THAT CHINA HAS
BEEN COMMITTING WAR CRIMES,
CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY,
RATHER, AGAINST THE SO-CALLED
UIGHUR MUSLIMS. THE QUESTION IS
NOW THAT THE U.N. HAS RELEASED
THIS VERY IMPORTANT DOCUMENT,
WHAT WILL THE OTHER U.N.
BODIES, THE OTHER COUNTRIES IN
THE UNITED NATIONS, WHAT WILL
THEY DO?
THAT IS WHAT EVERYBODY AND
UNITED NATIONS AND THE HUMAN
RIGHTS GROUPS ARE LOOKING
FORWARD TO.
IAPPRECIATE YOUR REPORTING.
> THE WATER CRISIS IN
JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI IS
ENTERING ITS THIRD DAY.
EFREM GRAHAM HAS THAT STORY AND
MORE FROM THE CBN NEWSROOM.
Reporter: MORE THAN 150,000
PEOPLE ARE STILL WITHOUT CLEAN
DRINKING WATER AFTER A PUMP
FAILURE AT THE MAIN TREATMENT
PLANT.
YOU CANNOT COOK OR BATHE.
Reporter: THOUSANDS OF
RESIDENTS ARE WAITING IN LINES
FOR BOTTLED WATER.
SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED WITH
STUDENTS IN VIRTUAL LEARNIN
AND HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS ARE
SEEING A DEEP DECLINE IN
BUSINESS.
THE CITY INSTALLED A NEW PUMP
BUT RESTORING FULL WATER
PRESSURE IS SLOW-GOING.
THE MAYOR IS OPTIMISTIC SERVICE
WILL BE RESTORED WITHIN THE
WEEK.
> THE FDA GRANTED EMERGENCY
AUTHORIZATION FOR THE NEXT
ROUND OF COVID BOOSTER SHOTS
YOUR GLARE AIMED AT PROTECTING
AGAINST THE BA.4 AND BA.5
SUBVARIANT OF THE OMICRON
STRAIN, WHICH MAKE UP 99% OF
ALL NEW CASES.
THE FDA IS NOT WAITING FOR
CLINICAL TRIALS ON THE
BOOSTERS, CITING CONFIDENCE IN
PREVIOUS mRNA VACCINES.
THERE HOPING THE SHOTS WILL
LAST THROUGH THE WINTER.
HOPEFULLY, WE CAN HAVE THIS
BE THE VACCINE THAT --
THE PFIZER SHOTS ARE
AUTHORIZED FOR THOSE 12 AND
OLDER.
MODERNA, FOR THOSE 18 AND
OLDER.
IF THE CDC GIVES ITS APPROVAL,
IT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AFTER
LABOR DAY.
> THE SUPREME COURT DECISION
OVERTURNING ROE VERSUS WADE IS
STILL HAVING RIPPLE EFFECTS
ACROSS AMERICA.
SOME PRO-LIFE SUPPORTERS HE
NEEDS TO FILL WHEN IT COMES TO
SUPPORTING FAMILIES.
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE WORKING
ON A PLAN THEY BELIEVE WILL DO
JUST THAT BUT IT COULD BE A
TOUGH SELL TO CONSERVATIVES.
CORRESPONDENT MATT GALKA
EXPLAINS.
Reporter: THE INITIAL
REACTION TO THE SUPREME COURT
DECISION RETURNING ABORTION TO
THE STATES WAS THAT THERE WOULD
BE MOMENTUM FOR STRONGER PRO-
LIFE LEGISLATION.
IT IS ALSO SERVING AS A
CATALYST FOR AN IDEA NOT
NECESSARILY EMBRACED BY SOME
CONSERVATIVES.
WHILE THE REVERSAL OF ROE
VERSUS WADE WAS SEEN AS AN
OBVIOUS WIN FOR PRO-LIFERS, IT
ALSO MEANT THE BEGINNING OF
ANOTHER BATTLE.
IT RESULTED IN A FULL ACTIVITY
FROM HOUSE DEMOCRATS, PASSING
MOSTLY SYMBOLIC BILLS THAT ARE
STALLED IN THE SENATE TO CODIFY
ABORTION INTO FEDERAL LAW.
DEMOCRATS ARE PUTTING PEOPLE
OVER POLITICS.
WE ARE DEFENDING THE RIGHT TO
MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT WOMEN'S
HEALTH.
Reporter: SOME ARGUE IT IS
TIME FOR MORE FAMILY SUPPORT
SENATOR MITT ROMNEY PUT OUT HIS
FAMILY SECURITY ACT OF 2.0 PLAN
OVER THE SUMMER, MEANT TO EASE
ECONOMICHARDSHIPS ON FAMILIES.
FINANCES ARE OFTEN THE NUMBER
ONE REASON CITED BY WOMEN
SEEKING AN ABORTION.
ROMNEY HAS TRIED TO THREAD THE
NEEDLE BETWEEN SUPPORT AND WHAT
COULD BE PERCEIVED AS WELFARE
IN THE BILL.
I WOULD LIKE A YOUNG WOMAN
THAT IS NOT WORKING, THAT IS
PREGNANT, I WOULD LIKE HER TO
KNOW THAT SHE DOES NOT HAVE TO
ELIMINATE THE PREGNANCY TO BE
ABLE TO CARRY THE FINANCIAL
BURDEN OF A CHILD.
WE DO NOT WANT TO -- I
UNDERSTAND.
WE DO NOT WANT TO CREATE ANY
POTENTIAL INCENTIVE FOR PEOPLE
TO BECOME ENTIRELY DEPENDENT
UPON GOVERNMENT.
Reporter: MORE THAN A
DECADE, THIS ECONOMIST HAS
ADVOCATED FOR A GREATER
GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO THE
STRUGGLES FAMILIES AND SINGLE
MOTHERS FACE.
THERE HAS BEEN HESITATION, I
THINK, ON THE PART OF
CONSERVATIVES TO RALLY BEHIND
THESE POLICIES TO THE EXTENT
THAT THEY ARE SEEN AS AN
ENTITLEMENT.
SPENDING AND FEDERAL OVERREACH
-- YOU KNOW, AS A CONSERVATIVE,
THOSE ARE CONCERNS I TAKE
SERIOUSLY AS WELL.
THAT SAID, I THINK THE PURPOSE
OF GOVERNMENT, EVEN FOR THE
MOST CONSERVATIVE OF US, IS TO
PROVIDE A SAFETY NET FOR
VULNERABLE PEOPLE.
HIS PLANS EARN SOME SUPPORT
FROM MAJOR PRO-LIFE ADVOCATES,
INCLUDING THE NATIONAL RIGHT TO
LIFE COMMITTEE.
THE PRACTICAL EFFECT,
COURSE, IS GOING TO HELP
FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN
BUT ALSO HOPEFULLY IT WILL HELP
TO MAKE WOMEN REALIZE THAT
CHILDREN ARE A BLESSING AND
ENDING THE LIFE OF THAT CHILD
IS NOT GOING TO IMPROVE THEIR
LIFE.
Reporter: ROMNEY'S PLAN IS
NOT THE ONLY GOP EFFORT.
SENATOR MARCO RUBIO HAS
SPONSORED A PLAN THAT ALSO
INCLUDES A TAX CREDIT, PLUS
EXPANDS INTO AREAS LIKE PAID
LEAVE, ADOPTION, AND CRISIS
PREGNANCY CENTERS.
YOU CAN READ ABOUT BOTH PLANS
ON CBNNEWS.COM.
MATT GALKA, CBN NEWS.
THE NEED IS MORE CRITICAL AS
WE SEE EVERYTHING RISING IN
COST.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORT
AND AS YOU HEARD IN HISTORIC,
ECONOMIC CHALLENGES ARE PRIMARY
REASON MANY -- AS A RESULT OF
THIS INITIATIVE, MANY LIVES
WILL BE SAVED.
WE WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, FOR
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE CALLED
AND WRITTEN US TO CHECK ON
GORDON, THANK YOU FOR YOUR
CARE.
HE WILL BE BACK NEXT WEEK.
HE HAD TAKEN SOME TIME OFF.
WE HAVE TO DO THIS A FEW TIMES
OVER THE COURSE OF THESE WEEKS.
HE IS DOING WELL AND WILL BE
WITH US NEXT WEEK AND HE IS
DOING JUST FINE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CALLS.
> COMING UP LATER, HE HIT THE
SLOPES AND THEN HIT THE GROUND
HARD.
A SKIING ACCIDENT LEFT TO THIS
TEENAGER WITH A BROKEN BACK.
SEE THE AMAZING MOMENT AFTER
THE ACCIDENT WHEN HE TAKES HIS
FIRST STEPS.
> UP NEXT, THE NEW MISSION
FIELD FOR THE CHURCH IS THE
METAVERSE AND IT COULD BE THE
MAIN WAY WE ALL DO CHURCH BY
THE END OF THIS DECADE.
EXPERIENCE THIS BRAVE, NEW
VIRTUAL WORLD WHEN WE COME
BACK.
> YOU ARE GOING TO SEE
SOMETHING THAT IS NOT YOUR
USUAL CHURCH SERVICE OR YOUR
USUAL LIVESTREAM SERVICE THE
PANDEMIC FORCED MANY TO THINK
OUTSIDE OF THE BOX AND INTO THE
METAVERSE AND JOHN JESSUP
BRINGS US THIS STORY.
Reporter: YOU HAVE PROBABLY
HEARD ABOUT THE METAVERSE BUT
WHAT IS IT AND HOW DO YOU GET
THERE?
WE ARE ABOUT TO SHOW YOU HOW IT
ALL WORKS USING THE SETTING
YOU'RE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH
WE ARE GOING TO CHURCH ON LIKE
YOU HAVE EVER SEEN IT BEFORE.
IT MAY LOOK LIKE ANIMATION, BUT
THE CHARACTERS ON YOUR SCREEN
ARE NOT CARTOON PIXELS PLAYING
CHURCH.
THEY REPRESENT REAL PEOPLE
WORSHIPING IN THE WORLD OF
VIRTUAL REALITY.
EVERYONE HERE --
THIS IS CHURCH IN THE
METAVERSE, WHERE USERS IN THE
REAL WORLD WHERE VR HEADSETS TO
GUIDE THEIR AVATAR CELLS INTO A
SIMULATED IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
AND IT IS GAINING INTEREST
AMONG THE CURIOUS AND THE
FAITHFUL.
WE FOUND THE ENVIRONMENT WAS
A RICH ENVIRONMENT FOR
MINISTRY.
V LIFE CHURCH NOW HAS A CAMPUS
AND METAVERSE TO ADD TO ITS 40
OTHER LOCATIONS.
WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING THAT
NO ONE ELSE IS DOING.
GOD -- THAT IS OUR DNA.
THERE IS NEW TECHNOLOGY AND
PLATFORMS.
WE WANT TO BE PRESENT AND WE
WANT TO LEARN AND UNDERSTAND
HOW WE CAN DO MINISTRY.
FACEBOOK'S DIVES INTO THE
DIGITAL DIMENSION HELPED IT
GAIN TRACTION AND LEGITIMATE
WITH MAJOR PLAYERS FROM
FASHION.
EVEN HEALTHCARE IS LINING UP TO
UNLEASH ITS POTENTIAL.
LAST YEAR, PEOPLE DROPPED MORE
THAN $500 MILLION TO GET A
PIECE OF THE METAVERSE'S REAL
ESTATE.
WHILE SOME SEE IT AS A REVENUE
GENERATOR, A GROWING NUMBER OF
FAITH LEADERS BELIEVE IT IS
JUST ANOTHER PLATFORM TO
PROMOTE THE GOSPEL.
THERE HAS BEEN THIS SHIFT
WHERE THERE IS THIS FRINGE
TECHNOLOGY, FRINGE EXPERIENCE
THAT IS NOW STARTING TO BECOME
MAINSTREAM.
D.J.
SOTO LAUNCHED A CHURCH AND
PREDICTS A PLACE IN THE
METAVERSE WILL SOON BECOME JUST
AS COMMON AS THEIR WEBSITE AND
SOCIAL MEDIA.
BY 2030, YOUR MAIN
EXPERIENCE FOR A CHURCH WILL BE
IN THE METAVERSE.
HE POINTS TO ANOTHER MAJOR
BENEFIT.
WHEN YOU START TO EXPERIENCE
CHURCH IN THE METAVERSE, YOU
START TO SEE THIS WHOLE WORLD
OF FORGOTTEN PEOPLE WHO WANT TO
BE PART OF A SPIRITUAL
COMMUNITY BUT MAYBE THEY DO NOT
HAVE A WAY TO BE CONNECTED TO
ONE.
Reporter: THAT IS WHAT HIT
HOME FOR ALINA DELP.
FOR THE FIRST COUPLE
SURFACES, I JUST CRIED.
A FORMER FLIGHT ATTENDANT
AND THRILLSEEKER, SHE HAS BEEN
CONFINED TO HER HOME DUE TO A
RARE NEUROVASCULAR CONDITION.
FOR HER, STREAMING HAD ITS
LIMITATIONS.
YOU CAN WATCH OTHERS BE PART
OF THE CHURCH BUT YOU COULD NOT
BE PART OF THE CHURCH.
IF ANYTHING, THAT JUST SADDENED
ME.
Reporter: DISCOVERING VR
CHURCH GAVE HER A SENSE OF
COMMUNITY, INITIALLY
VOLUNTEERING AS A GREETER AND
THEN LEADING A SMALL GROUP.
AFTER ENROLLING IN SEMINARY,
SHE IS NOW PART OF THE PASTORAL
TEAM, MINISTERING TO PEOPLE
FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND
FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE.
IN VR, PEOPLE ARE VERY OPEN
ABOUT WHERE THEY ARE.
THERE IS NOT A FACADE.
THEY DO NOT PUT ON THEIR SUNDAY
BEST AND PRETEND THAT EVERYBODY
IS "A GRADE A" STUDENT AND LIFE
IS WONDERFUL.
THEY ARE HONEST ABOUT WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN THEIR LIVES, WHICH
ALLOWS US TO PASTOR BETTER.
SKEPTICS QUESTION EVERYTHING
FROM SAFETY IN THE VIRTUAL-
REALITY MOVEMENT TO SOUND
THEOLOGY TO JUSTIFY ITS USE.
PASTOR BOBBY GRUENEWALD, WHO
DEVELOPED THE YOUVERSION BIBLE
APP, SAYS THE DEBATE BOILS DOWN
TO REACHING PEOPLE WHERE THEY
ARE.
WE ARE BIG PROPONENTS OF
REAL BUILDINGS.
WE HAVE A MULTISITE AREA.
WE ALSO FEEL LIKE WE HAVE THESE
TOOLS AVAILABLE THAT HAVE NEVER
BEEN AVAILABLE BEFORE IN HUMAN
HISTORY THAT ALLOW US AND GIVE
US THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH
PEOPLE THAT WE OTHERWISE WOULD
NOT BE ABLE TO REACH.
Reporter: HE COUNTERS THE
METAVERSE IS SMART USE OF
TECHNOLOGY, LIKE WHEN THE LATE
BILLY GRAHAM WENT ON RADIO AND
TV TO EVANGELIZE TO THE MASSES.
WE ARE CONNECTING WITH
PEOPLE DIGITALLY AND VIRTUALLY
AND OVER THE AIRWAVES, IF YOU
WILL.
THE RELATIONSHIPS AND THE
COMMUNITY AND THE CONNECTION
AND THE SALVATION AND THE
DISCIPLESHIP IS JUST AS
POWERFUL AS ANYTHING THAT WE
HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST.
Reporter: CHURCH IN THE
METAVERSE IS NOT ABOUT CHOOSING
THE PHYSICAL OVER THE VIRTUAL.
IT IS ABOUT THE MANDATE TO
REACH PEOPLE WITH THE GOSPEL
AND ONE OF THEIR MANTRAS, TO DO
ANYTHING SHORT OF -- TO REACH
PEOPLE KNOW WHEN IS REACHING,
THEY WILL HAVE TO DO THINGS NO
ONE IS DOING.
JOHN JESSUP, CBN NEWS, OKLAHOMA
CITY.
I AM SURE YOU SEE THAT STORY
AND THINK, THIS IS A BIT
UNUSUAL AND STRANGE AND
UNFORTUNATE AND NOT THE
DIRECTION WE ARE HOPING THE
CHURCH GOES AND I GET THAT.
IT IS MY HOPE PEOPLE WILL FIND
THE CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES
TO BE A WARM AND WELCOMING AND
LOVING AND PLACE FILLED WITH
GRACE AND THEY WILL DESIRE TO
VISIT OUR HOUSES OF WORSHIP AND
EXPERIENCE THE LOVE OF THE
GOSPEL.
IN THE MEANTIME, JESUS SAID, WE
WILL RECEIVE POWER IN ACTS 1:8
TO TAKE THE GOSPEL TO THE ENDS
OF THE EARTH.
I DO NOT THINK THAT IS
NECESSARILY THE ATTEND -- THEY
ARE BRINGING THE GOSPEL TO AN
UNREACHED GROUP AND HOPEFULLY
THEY CAN COME INTO THE FOLD AS
A RESULT OF EXPERIENCING THAT.
LET'S PRAY FOR THOSE WHO ARE
GOING TO CHURCH IN THAT WAY AND
PRAY THEY WILL WANT TO DESIRE
TO FEEL THE LOVE OF CHRIST IN A
GATHERED ASSEMBLY.
> COMING UP LATER, AN
EXPLOSIVE NEW DISCOVERY FROM THE
AUTHOR OF THE HARBINGER.
WHAT DID THE OLD GODS OF
ASSYRIA AND BABYLON HAVE TO DO
WITH AMERICA'S SUPREME COURT?
JONATHAN CAHN WILL REPEAL
REVEAL IT ALL.
> FIRST, HE HAS TO BE
AIRLIFTED TO THE HOSPITAL.
DOCTORS SAID HE MIGHT NEVER
STAND UP AGAIN.
HOW WAS HE ABLE TO WALK ACROSS
THE STAGE AT HIS GRADUATION?
STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT.
> IT IS THE FIRST DAY OF
SEPTEMBER.
THE ANNUAL SEVEN DAYS BLAZE IS
AROUND THE CORNER.
WE WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU. WE
PRAY FOR YOU ALL THE TIME BUT
WE WILL SET ASIDE SOME SPECIAL
TIME.
WE WILL ALSO BE STREAMING HOUR

POWERFUL WEEK.
> RYAN HAD ONLY GONE SKIING
TWICE WHEN HE DECIDED TO TRY A
JOB.
HE IS THINKING HOW HARD CAN IT
BE?
HE SOON FOUND OUT.'S BODY
FOLDED OVER AND LANDED WITH
SUCH FORCE AND THAT HIS BACK
MUSCLES DETACHED FROM HIS
SPINAL COLUMN.
Reporter: JANUARY 27th,
2019.
HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR RYAN
KOLONICH WAS ENJOYING HIS DAYS
WITH HIS SKI CLUB IN SOMERSET,
PENNSYLVANIA.
I WAS THE LAST ONE TO GO
DOWN.
I WAS GOING A LITTLE TOO FAST.
Reporter: TOO FAST FOR THE
SMALL SKI JUMP HE WENT OVER.
RYAN CRASHED HARD.
HIS NEXT MEMORY WAS WAKING UP
STUNNED AND SURROUNDED BY THE
SKI PATROL.
BEFORE LONG, HE WAS BEING
LOADED ONTO A HELICOPTER,
HEADED TOWARDS THE UNIVERSITY
OF PITTSBURGH MEDICAL CENTER,
STRAPPED TO A BACKBOARD, UNABLE
TO MOVE.
I WAS SCARED.
I WAS PANICKED.
IT HAD REALLY SUNKEN IN THAT I
CANNOT FEEL ANYTHING BELOW MY
WAIST.
I WAS THINKING, LIKE, AM I EVER
GOING TO WALK AGAIN?
THAT WAS THE ONLY QUESTION I
HAD
Reporter: THE CHURCH
CHAPERONE HAD CALLED RYAN'S
PARENTS, JAN AND RICK, MAKING
THE DRIVE TO PITTSBURGH FROM
THEIR HOME IN JOHNSTOWN,
PENNSYLVANIA.
I WAS TERRIFIED.
I DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO
HIM.
I WANTED HIM TO BE ALL RIGHT.
OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WERE
ALREADY THERE BY THE TIME THEY
ARRIVED.
HE HAD HIS HEAD STRAPPED
DOWN COME ALONG WITH HIS ARMS
AND LEGS.
HE STARTED CRYING.
I COULD SEE THE PAIN IN HER
EYES, IN MY DAD'S.
I COULD SEE THEIR FEAR.
WE PRAYED.
THAT IS ALL WE COULD DO.
WE PRAYED AND WAITED.
IT IS AWFUL, SEEING YOUR KID
IN THAT STATE.
HE STARTED PRAYING EVEN HARDER,
JUST CONSTANTLY.
AN MRI REVEALED HIS L1
VERTEBRAE HAD BEEN SHATTERED
AND -- IMMEDIATELY, DOCTORS
SCHEDULED HIM FOR SURGERY,
SAYING EVEN IF IT WAS
SUCCESSFUL, RYAN MAY NEVER WALK
AGAIN.
HE IS ONLY 18.
HE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT THESE THINGS, ABOUT
WHETHER HE WILL BE ABLE TO
FUNCTION IN LIFE ANYMORE.
THEY REACHED OUT TO EVERYONE
THEY COULD THINK OF, ASKING FOR
PRAYER.
I CALLED MY DAD RIGHT AWAY.
I WAS CRYING LIKE A BABY.
IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT.
DURING THE SURGERY, ONE
DOCTOR REMOVED THE BONE SHARDS
AND STABILIZED HIS SPINAL CORD
USING TWO RODS AND 10 SCREWS.
IT WAS THEN THAT DOCTORS BEGAN
PERFORMING DAILY TESTS TO
DETERMINE IF HE COULD FEEL ANY
SENSATION IN HIS LEGS OR FEET.
THEY ALSO ASKED HIM TO WIGGLE
HIS TOES.
FOR THREE DAYS, NOTHING
HAPPENED UNTIL, FINALLY, HE --
I GOT ONE TOE TO TWITCH.
IT WAS A HAPPY TIME.
THAT WAS A GOOD SIGN AND IT
WAS AMAZING, THESE LITTLE
BLESSINGS YOU SEE HAPPENING
ALONG HIS PATH TO RECOVERY.
EVEN THOUGH HE CONTINUED TO
IMPROVE, IT WAS SLOW AND HIS
DOCTOR COULD NOT OFFER MUCH
HOPE
HE WAS LIKE, HEY, I -- I
CANNOT PROMISE YOU ANYTHING.
I CANNOT PROMISE THAT YOU CAN
STAND AGAIN.
SOMETHING SORT OF SWITCHED AND
I WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I AM GOING TO GIVE IT MY ALL.
AT THE END OF FEBRUARY, TWO
WEEKS AFTER SURGERY, HE CHECKED
IN TO THE REHAB FACILITY.
I WAS PRAYING BUT I WAS
ALMOST TALKING, JUST TALKING TO
GOD.
HE WORKED HARD OVER THE NEXT
MONTH AS EACH DAY BROUGHT SMALL
VICTORIES.
HE WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO STAND
USING THE PARALLEL BARS.
THEN, ON HIS LAST IN THE
FACILITY WITH HIS THERAPIST
URGING THEM ON, HIS MOM WAS
WAITING AT THE END OF THE BARS.
I AM TRYING AND I WAS ABLE
TO GET IT TO SLIDE.
HE WALKED TO ME AT THE END
OF THE PARALLEL BARS.
HE WAS CRYING.
WE WERE BOTH JUST CRYING.
WE WERE SO HAPPY.
HE WAS LIKE, I DID IT.
I WALKED.
AFTER GOING HOME, RYAN
CONTINUED HIS DAILY SESSIONS.
HE HAD ANOTHER GOAL, TO WALK
THE STAGE AT GRADUATION UNDER
HIS OWN POWER.
I KNEW IF GOD COULD GET ME
TO WHERE I WAS, THERE IS
NOTHING THAT CAN STOP ME.
AT GRADUATION, JUNE 7th,
2019, THE CHEERS OF HIS FAMILY
AND THE CROWD PUSHING HIM ON,
RYAN WALKED ACROSS THE STAGE ON
HIS OWN TO ACCEPT HIS DIPLOMA.
TO SEE HIM TO BE ABLE TO DO
THAT, TO ACCOMPLISH A GOAL HE
HAD IN MIND AND HE DID IT ALL
ON HIS OWN, IT WAS
UNBELIEVABLE.
WE ARE SO PROUD.
HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO IT
AND HE DID IT.
IT WAS SUCH A GREAT MOMENT.
Reporter: WITH THE SUPPORT
OF ORTHOPEDIC BRACES, HE IS
STILL WALKING AND ATTENDING
COLLEGE AND MAKING PLANS FOR
HIS FUTURE, TAKING EVERY DAY
ONE STEP AT A TIME, KNOWING THE
LORD IS ALWAYS WITH HIM,
ALONGSIDE HIM.
I WOULD NOT BE HERE, DOING
WHAT I AM DOING, IF IT WAS NOT
FOR HIM.
THERE IS NO WAY.
WE ARE SO BLESSED THAT HE IS
ABLE TO WALK.
REALIZING THE MIRACLE TO BE
ABLE TO WALK, PERIOD, WAS MORE
THAN A BLESSING.
THROUGH PRAYER, ANYTHING IS
POSSIBLE.
IT IS A CONSTANT REMINDER OF
WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH AND
THAT REMINDER JUST HELPS
REINFORCE HOW GREAT GOD IS.
HE IS GREAT.
SCRIPTURE SAYS, HE IS THE LORD,
OUR DEALER, AND THAT CERTAINLY
WAS TRUE IN RYAN'S SITUATION,
AS HE CONTINUES TO JUST MOVE
FORWARD AND PROGRESS.
IT TOOK A LOT OF EFFORT ON HIS
PART TO DO IT, BUT THAT HEALING
HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THE HAND OF
GOD TOUCHED HIS SPINE AND HIS
NEED AND HIS MUSCLES AND
LIGAMENTS AND ALL THE THINGS
INVOLVED.
GOD KNOWS ALL THE DETAILS.
WE WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU.
WE KNOW MANY OF YOU ARE
STRUGGLING WITH VARIOUS NEEDS.
THIS IS JIMMY.
THEY SAID, I WAS WATCHING A
YOUTUBE REPLAY OF THE AUGUST
26th BROADCAST WHEN THEY PRAYED
FOR SOMEONE WITH A PAINFUL
SHOULDER.
MY SHOULDER AND ARM HAVE BEEN
HURTING.
I WAS NOT ABLE TO LIFT MY ARM
OR COULD NOT REACH FOR
ANYTHING.
I CLAIMED THIS HEALING AND,
IMMEDIATELY, IMMEDIATELY, THE
PAIN WAS GONE AND I COULD LIFT
MY ARM.
I WANT TO POINT OUT THIS WAS A
REBROADCAST.
SHE IS WATCHING THIS AT A LATER
DATE.
GOD IS NOT TRAPPED IN TIME.
HIS TO DO THINGS IS ON HIS
TIMETABLE, NOT HOURS.
THE DUTY OF COLORADO SPRINGS
TOLD US SHE HAD POLYPS THAT
REQUIRED SURGERY.
WHILE WATCHING, SHE HEARD TERRY
SAY, THERE IS SOMEONE WITH
POLYPS IN HER NOSE AND THEY ARE
GONE.
SHE CLAIMED THAT WORD OF
KNOWLEDGE AND LATER SHE WENT TO
SEE HER DOCTOR, WHICH WE LOVE
TO HEAR.
SHE WENT TO SEE HER DOCTOR AND
HE SAID THEY WERE GONE AND HE
SAID SHE IS PRAISING GOD FOR
THAT MIRACLE.
I WANT TO MENTION SOMETHING I
WAS READING IN SCRIPTURE.
I BELIEVE IT IS ASKED 12.
PETER WAS IN PRISON, RIGHT?
THE CHURCH, PEOPLE WERE PRAYING
FOR PETER'S RELEASE FROM
PRISON.
THE BIBLE IS SPECIFICALLY CLEAR
THEY WERE PRAYING FOR HIM.
THEY BELIEVED IN THE POWER OF
PRAYER.
AN ANGEL VISITS HIM, WHERE HE
IS GUARDED BY 16 SOLDIERS, AND
HE FACILITATES THEM OUT OF THAT
CELL.
HE IS FREE.
PETER GOES TO WHERE THOSE FOLKS
ARE PRAYING TO TELL THEM THE
GOOD NEWS.
THE SERPENT ANSWERS AND SHE
HEARS PETER'S VOICE AND DOES
NOT EVEN ANSWER THE DOOR.
THEY SAID, HE IS HERE.
THEY TOLD HER, YOU ARE CRAZY.
YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND.
PETER IS LET IN AND THEY SEE
THEIR PRAYER ANSWERED BUT HERE
THEY WERE, PRAYING EARNESTLY
FOR PETER BUT THEY WERE
SURPRISED WHEN THE ANSWER CAME.
LET'S PRAY WITH EXPECTATION,
KNOWING GOD HEARS US AND LET'S
NOT BE SURPRISED WHEN THE LORD
DOES HIS WORK WE ARE SEEKING.
WE ARE SAYING, GOD, WE BELIEVE.
WE PRAY WITH EXPECTATION.
LET'S GO TO THE LORD.
FATHER, WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR
WORD AND EXAMPLES IN SCRIPTURE
OF HOW PEOPLE SOUGHT TO YOU.
THEY EXPRESSED THEIR NEED.
YOU RESPONDED.
LORD, LET US NOT BE ASTONISHED
BY WHAT YOU DO.
YOU ARE DOING A NEW THING.
I THINK IT IS ISAIAH 43.
YOU ARE DOING A NEW THING.
YOU ARE MAKING AWAY IN THE
WILDERNESS AND STREAMS IN THE
DESERT.
WE THANK YOU, LORD.
THERE IS -- I THINK THERE IS A
YOUNG PERSON AND YOU ARE --
YOUR BEING BULLIED AND YOUR
PEERS ARE COMING AGAINST YOU
HARD AND YOU ARE FEELING
HEARTBROKEN AND LONELY AND IS
IT WORTH LIVING FOR CHRIST?
HE SAYS, YES.
YES, I'M WORTH IT.
I AM JEALOUS FOR YOU.
I AM WITH YOU THROUGH THIS.
KEEP HOLD OF MY HAND, SOLDIER.
HE HAS YOU.
THERE IS SOMEBODY, YOU HAVE
A PROBLEM WITH YOUR AORTA.
IT HAS CREATED SOME GENERAL
HEART ISSUES.
YOU HAVE HAD IT FOR MANY, MANY
YEARS.
YOU HAVE KIND OF DECIDED TO
DEAL, TO JUST ACCEPT IT.
GOD IS HEALING THAT CONDITION
FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.
PUT YOUR HAND OVER THAT AREA OF
YOUR BODY AND RAISE YOUR OTHER
HAND.
PRAY EXPECTANTLY, ACCEPTING
WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU TODAY
IN JESUS' NAME.
TERRY WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT
-- SOMEONE FEELS LIKE THEY DO
NOT HAVE THE FAITH FOR A
MIRACLE.
THE POWER IS IN JESUS.
THE POWER IS IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
OF GOD.
THE POWER IS IN OUR LOVING
FATHER.
DO YOU HAVE A MUSTARD SEED
FAITH?
BRING IT TO THE LORD.
SOMEONE HAS A SHIVERING IN YOUR
BODY.
IT IS LIKE YOU ARE FREEZING BUT
YOU'RE NOT NECESSARILY COLD.
THE LORD IS RELEASING YOU OF
THAT. YOU'RE JUST GOING TO BE
DELIGHTED AND THERE WILL BE
PEACE.
YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE PEACE.
WILL NOT BE A FEELING BUT YOU
WILL BE DELIVERED OF THAT NOW
IN JESUS' NAME.
YOU HAVE PARTICLES FROM
SOMETHING IN YOUR LUNGS.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS BUT
IT IS DAMAGING TO YOUR LUNGS
AND NO ONE IS QUITE SURE HOW TO
GET RID OF THAT.
GOD IS HEALING YOUR LUNGS RIGHT
NOW IN EVERY WAY, STRENGTHENING
THEM.
JUST TO BREATHE IN DEEPLY AND
RECEIVE THAT, THAT BREATH OF
LIFE FROM YAHWEH.
BEGIN TO PRAISE HIM.
JESUS WANTS TO TAKE A BURDEN
OFF PEOPLE'S NECK.
LORD, THANK YOU.
IT IS NOT ABOUT OUR
PERFORMANCE.
YOUR BURDEN IS EASY, LORD.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO HEAR IT IS NOT
ABOUT YOUR PERFORMANCE FOR THE
LORD OR WHAT OTHERS THINK OF
YOU OR YOUR PERFORMANCE FOR
OTHERS.
JESUS WANTS YOU TO LOCK IN
FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM.
JUST WALK IN SIMPLE FELLOWSHIP
WITH HIM AND EXPERIENCE HIS
LOVE.
HE WANTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH
YOU AND SPEAK WITH YOU AND GIVE
YOU MORE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT I
PRAY PEOPLE WHO WANT MORE OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THEIR LIFE,
JUST RAISE YOUR HANDS AND HE
WILL FILL YOU.
THANK YOU, LORD.
THANK YOU, FATHER.
THANK YOU, FATHER.
I WANT TO PRAY, AS WE CLOSE
FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE IN BONDAGE
TO ADDICTION, DO NOT KNOW IF IT
IS ALCOHOL OR DRUGS, BUT IT IS
CONTROLLING THEIR LIFE AND WE
JUST BREAK THOSE BONDS.
WE TALKED ABOUT HOW PETER, HIS
CHAINS DROPPED OFF HIS WRIST.
WE PRAY THAT NOW, THAT CHAINS
ARE BROKEN BY THE POWER OF GOD.
WE DO NOT NEED AN ANGEL TO
VISIT US IN OUR ROOM.
THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN INTERCEDE
AND THOSE CHAINS ARE BROKEN.
WHATEVER HAS CAUSED BONDAGE TO
ADDICTION, YOU ARE BREAKING
THAT NOW.
AS WE PURSUE RIGHTEOUSNESS IN
THE NAME OF JESUS.
THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE
DOING AND WHAT YOU WILL
CONTINUE TO DO IN JESUS' NAME.
AS ALWAYS, WE WOULD LOVE TO
HEAR FOR YOU IF YOU HAVE
EXPERIENCED A MIRACLE.
PERHAPS YOU HAVE HAD PRAYERS
ANSWERED.
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
PERHAPS YOU NEED MORE PRAYER.
CALL 1-800-700-7000.

HOUSE AND WAS SHAKING IT
VIOLENTLY.
THAT IS HOW THEY DESCRIBED THE
7.1 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE.
SEE HOW YOU CAME TO THEIR
RESCUE COMING UP.
TRACK LATER, THREE OF THE
STORIES WORSHIPED BY ANCIENT
CIVILIZATIONS.
THEY ARE MAKING A COMEBACK IN
AMERICA.
JONATHAN CAHN EXPLAINS ON THE
700 CLUB.
> WELCOME BACK TO THE 700
CLUB FOR THIS CBN NEWS BREAK.
THE CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE
PASSED A BILL MAKING IT A
SANCTUARY STATE FOR CHILDREN
SEEKING TRANSGENDER MEDICAL
TREATMENT, EVEN WITHOUT THEIR
PARENTS' PERMISSION.
THE AUTHORIZED CALIFORNIA
COURTS TO TAKE EMERGENCY
JURISDICTION OVER OUT-OF-STATE
MINORS. THEY COULD MAKE IT A
DESTINATION FOR CHILDREN WHO
WANT TO MAKE THEIR SEX CHANGE
IS PERMANENT AND POTENTIALLY A
GATEWAY FOR OUT-OF-STATE
CHILDREN TO RECEIVE HORMONES,
PUBERTY BLOCKERS, AND EVEN
SURGERY.
THE BILL NOW GOES TO GOVERNOR
GAVIN NEWSOM FOR A SIGNATURE.
> WE WANT TO GO TO A SPECIAL
ELECTION IN ALASKA, WHERE
FORMER GOVERNOR AND REPUBLICAN
VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
SARAH PALIN WAS DEFEATED IN HER
BID FOR CONGRESS.
DEMOCRAT MARY PELTOLA WAS
DECLARED THE WINNER OF THE
ELECTION THAT WAS HELD AUGUST
16th.
THE DELAY IN THE RESULTS WERE
BECAUSE OF COUNTY ABSENTEE
BALLOTS THEM OUTSIDE THE U.S.
IT WAS ALASKA'S FIRST STATEWIDE
ELECTION USING A PROCESS CALLED
RANKED-CHOICE VOTING, WHICH
ALLOWS VOTERS TO PICK UP TO
FOUR CANDIDATES AND RANK THEIR
PREFERENCES.
SHE CALLED THE SYSTEM CRAZY,
CUMBERSOME, AND CONFUSING.
YOU CAN GET THE LATEST BY GOING
TO OUR WEBSITE AT CBNNEWS.COM.
TERRY AND ANDREW ARE BACK WITH
MORE OF THE 700 CLUB, COMING UP
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
> OF VIOLENT SHAKING,
FURNITURE AND TVs FALLING OVER,
GLASS SHATTERING.
WHEN A 7.1 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE
HIT THEIR HOUSE, MELVIN AND
CARRIE WERE TRAUMATIZED.
AS THEY PICKED THROUGH THE
RUBBLE, THEY DISCOVERED THE
FULL EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE.
MELVIN AND CARRIE ARE
ENJOYING RETIREMENT IN
BEAUTIFUL ALASKA.
BOTH SERVED IN THE U.S. ARMY.
MELVIN SERVED 4.5 YEARS WHILE
CARRIE WENT ON TO SERVE 20.
I AM PROUD OF HER.
I AM PROUD OF THE 20 YEARS THAT
SHE SERVED AND SHE WAS A GREAT
SOLDIER AT WORK AND AT HOME.
THEIR LIVES WERE DISRUPTED
WHEN A 7.1 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE
HIT ANCHORAGE.
EPICENTER WAS ONLY A FEW MILES
FROM THEIR HOME.
IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE PICKED
UP OUR HOUSE AND WAS JUST
SHAKING IT VIOLENTLY.
EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE AND
JUST BEGAN TO FALL -- TVs,
DRESSERS, GLASS SHATTERING.
IT WAS PRETTY TRAUMATIC.
AS MELVIN AND CARRIE PICKED
THROUGH WHAT WAS LEFT OF THEIR
BELONGINGS, THEY WERE ALARMED
AT THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO THE
STRUCTURE OF THEIR HOME.
I KNEW IT WAS BAD BUT WHEN I
STARTED GOING ROOM BY ROOM
SEEING IT, I MEAN CRACKS IN THE
CEILING AND THE WALLS AND THE
GARAGE.
I LOOKED AT ALL THE CRACKS AND
I WAS LIKE, THIS IS REALLY BAD.
THEY FACED ANOTHER BLOW WHEN
THEY LEARNED THEIR INSURANCE
POLICY COVERED SOME, BUT NOT
ALL OF THE REPAIRS.
ONCE TALLIED UP, THEY HAD
NEARLY $16,000 OF OUT-OF-POCKET
EXPENSES, MONEY THEY DID NOT
HAVE RATHER THAN GO INTO DEBT,
THEY DECIDED TO LIVE WITH THE
DAMAGE.
I WOULD LOVE TO FIX IT, BUT
THERE IS REALLY NOTHING WE CAN
DO AT THIS POINT.
WE ARE NOT ON A TIMETABLE
BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE THE
RESOURCES.
AFTER HEARING ABOUT THEIR
FINANCIAL CHALLENGES, NEW
SEASON CHURCH IN ANCHORAGE
ASKED HELPING THE HOME FRONT TO
PROVIDE SUPPORT.
WE CONTACTED HOME DEPOT AND
ASKED IF THEY WANTED TO JOIN US.
WE ARE SUPER EXCITED TO
PARTNER WITH CBN.
IT HAS BEEN AN AWESOME ROLLER
COASTER BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN
EXCITED FOR THIS FAMILY AND
WANT TO GIVE BACK TO THEM.
WE JUST WANT TO DO WHAT WE DO
BEST.
PASTOR TOMMY LEONARD TOLD

HALLELUJAH.
THANK YOU, LORD.
THEY HEADED TO HOME DEPOT,
WHERE A TEAM GREETED THEM AND
HELPED THE COUPLE BEGIN THE
PROCESS OF GETTING THEIR HOME
BACK TO NORMAL.
CONTRACTORS WENT TO WORK AND
SOON, MELVIN AND CARRIE'S HOME
WAS COMPLETELY RESTORED.
IT IS BEYOND MY WILDEST
DREAMS.

THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHAT
HAPPENED.
I AM OVERWHELMED OVERWHELMED
AND OVERJOYED BECAUSE THIS IS
AMAZING.

WARNING NEXT AFTER A QUICK
BREAK.
STAY WITH US.
> THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE, THE
SCRIPTURES ONE ABOUT PEOPLE
TURNING AWAY FROM THE TRUE GOD
TO SERVE NEW ONES.
THE BOOK OF PSALMS CALLS THIS
FORM OF HYDROLOGY A TRAP.
ACCORDING TO JONATHAN GONE,
THEY'RE STILL AROUND AND THEY
HAVE INVADED THIS COUNTRY.
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE
IDEAS TRANSFORMING OUR CULTURE
OR NATION AND YOUR LIFE IS A
MYSTERY THAT GOES BACK TO
ANCIENT TIMES AND -- THE RETURN
OF THE GODS, BEST-SELLING
AUTHOR JONATHAN CAHN PULLS AWAY
THE VEIL AND REVEALS SHOCKING
SECRETS.
UNCOVER THE MYSTERY OF THE GODS
AND HOW IT IS TRANSFORMING YOUR
LIFE.
THE RETURN OF THE GODS.
JONATHAN CAHN JOINS US VIA
SKYPE.
WELCOME BACK TO THE PROGRAM.
WE LOVE HAVING YOU.
IT IS GREAT TO BE HERE.
YOU REFER TO THESE GODS AS
THE DARK TRINITY.
WHO ARE THEY?
TO KIND OF GIVE A QUICK
OVERVIEW, THIS IS DEFINITELY
THE MOST EXPLOSIVE BOOK I HAVE
EVER WRITTEN AND THAT IS THE
ULTIMATE LING.
IT IS AFFECTING EVERYONE.
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT BEHIND THE
GODS OF THE NATIONS ARE
ACTUALLY PRINCIPALITIES AND
THEY SAY IN HEBREW, THEY -- IN
GREEK, IT BECAME -- THEY ARE
WORSHIPING A DEMON.
THERE IS ACTUALLY -- IT IS A
REAL THING THAT IS HAPPENING.
WHEN THE GOSPEL CAME INTO THE
PAGAN WORLD 2000 YEARS AGO, IT
DROVE THESE THINGS OUT.
THE GODS DEPARTED AND THE
SPIRITS OF DEPARTED BUT JESUS
GAVE A WARNING AND THE WARNING
HE GAVE, HE SPOKE ABOUT THE
SPIRIT -- IF HE STAYS EMPTY,
THAT SPIRIT COMES BACK TO TAKE
OVER.
THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT PEOPLE
THAT HE SAYS -- THIS IS ALSO
ABOUT CULTURES AND NATIONS AND
THE WARNING IS THAT ANY NATION
OR CIVILIZATION THAT HAS BEEN
CLEANSED OF THE GODS, LIKE THE
WEST OR AMERICA, THAT IF IT
EVER TURNS AWAY FROM GOD OR
TURNS BACK FROM GOD, THEN THESE
SPIRITS WILL RETURN.
THESE ANCIENT SPIRITS THAT WERE
CAST OUT WILL RETURN.
THE GODS WILL RETURN TO
REPOSSESS IT.
IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN AMERICA, IT IS
CRAZY AND IT GETS CRAZIER.
IT IS THESE THINGS, THE
REPOSSESSION -- IT IS A ONCE
CHRISTIAN NATION.
WHEN ISRAEL TURNED AWAY FROM
GOD, THERE WERE THREE PRIMARY
GODS OR SPIRITS THAT CAME IN
AND POSSESSED AND DESTROYED IT.
THESE SAME ACTUAL GODS OR,
REALLY, DEMONIC SPIRITS HAVE
NOW COME TO AMERICA, STARTING
WHEN WE TURNED AWAY FROM GOD IN
THE EARLY '60s.
IT IS LIKE CLOCKWORK.
ACTUALLY IDENTIFYING THEM AND
HOW THEY ARE AFFECTING OUR
LIVES.
AS YOU HAVE JUST DONE, WE
FAST FORWARD 2000 YEARS AND NOT
ONLY HAVE THEY RETURNED, BUT
THEY HAVE THEIR HANDS IN
AMERICAN CULTURE.
EXPLAINED THAT.
THE FIRST ONE IS -- I CAN
ONLY GIVE YOU A BRIEF TASTE.
IT IS A TASTY.
THE FIRST ONE THAT CAME IN
ISRAEL AND ACTUALLY CHANGED
EVERYTHING WAS CALLED THE
POSSESSOR.
THESE ARE ANCIENT NAMES.
WHAT HIS ROLE FOR ISRAEL AND
FOR AMERICA IS TO TURN A NATION
THAT HAS KNOWN GOD AWAY FROM
GOD, TO CAUSE TO FORGET GOD.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE EARLY
'60s, THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS.
WHAT THIS GOD OR SPIRIT DID IS
IT STARTED DRIVING GOD, STARTED
DRIVING GOD OUT OF THE CULTURE
AND OUT OF SCHOOLS AND THE
GOVERNMENT AND OUT OF ALL THESE
THINGS.
THE MISSION IS TO PATRONIZE, TO
TAKE A CHRISTIAN NATION AND --
THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED.
WE STARTED TO TAKE GOD OUT.
AND IT WILL NEVER STAY EMPTY.
THE NEXT ONE, I WILL GIVE YOU A
QUICK OVERVIEW.
THE NEXT ONE IS CALLED THE
ENCHANTRESS.
THIS IS A GODDESS AND
THROUGHOUT THE AGENT WORLD,
THIS IS A GODDESS OF SEXUAL
IMMORALITY.
WHEN YOU WATCH WHAT HAPPENS, IN
THE 1960s, WE STARTED TAKING
GOD OUT AND THEN COMES THIS
WHOLE REVOLUTION IN SEXUALITY.
THE AIM OF THIS PRINCIPALITY IS
TO TAKE THE CHRISTIAN NATION
AND PATRONIZE IT, TO OVERTURN
IT AND TAKE SEX OUT OF MARRIAGE
AND PUT -- SEXUALIZE THE
CULTURE.
DESTROY MARRIAGE.
THAT IS PART OF WHAT THEY DID.
THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN
WATCHING AND IT HAS NOT
STOPPED.
ANOTHER THING IS THAT IT IS
FROM THIS GOD IS IN ANCIENT
TIMES THAT WE GET PORNOGRAPHY.
SHE IS THE CREATOR OF
PORNOGRAPHY AND SEDUCES THE
NATION.
THE THIRD ONE IS CALLED THE
DESTROYER.
THIS IS THE GOD OR PRINCIPALITY
THAT CAUSES A NATION OR CAUSES
PARENTS TO OFFER UP THEIR OWN
CHILDREN AS SACRIFICES.
THIS GOD COMES IN.
NAMES ARE LIKE MOLECH.
WHEN WE TURN AWAY FROM GOD, IT
IS LIKE CLOCK WORK.
YOU HAVE THE THIRD PART COMING
WHEN WE START OFFERING UP OUR
CHILDREN.
IN 1970, ABORTION ON DEMAND
COMES TO AMERICA.
THEY COME TO AMERICA AND THEY
GET OFFERED UP -- WE HAVE
OFFERED UP 63 MILLION.
THIS IS PART OF --
ARE THERE OTHER EXAMPLES?
THERE IS SO MUCH.
LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
THEY SPEAK ABOUT THE
TRANSFORMER.
THIS IS A GODDESS.
WHEN I LOOKED AT THE ANCIENT
INSCRIPTIONS, THEY SAY SHE
TURNS A MAN INTO A WOMAN AND A
WOMAN INTO A MAN.
SHE IS THE GODDESS WHO BLURS
GENDER AND SEXUALITY AND BLURS
COMMAND A WOMAN AND CHANGES ONE
TO THE OTHER AND IT IS AMAZING.
THIS IS -- AS THIS PROGRESSION
GOES AND IS CONTINUING, IT HAS
AFFECTED OUR ENTIRE NATION.
ONE THING SHE SAYS IS THE
ANCIENT PRIESTS, THEY DRESSED
AS WOMEN IN HER TEMPLE AND SHE
ACTUALLY -- HERE IS ANOTHER
THING.
NOT ONLY DID SHE FEMINIZE A MAN
AND MASKING LIES WOMEN, BUT SHE
ACTUALLY SURGICALLY ALTERED,
TRANSITIONED HER PRIESTS INTO
THE OPPOSITE SEX.
NOW THEY ARE AFTER OUR CHILDREN
HERE IS WHAT WE ARE DEALING
WITH.
IT ALL GOES BACK TO THIS.
THE MINUTE LEFT.
YOU SAY THESE GODS HAVE BEEN
EXPELLED FROM CULTURE BEFORE.
HOW CAN WE STAND AGAINST THEM
NOW?
THE ULTIMATE PART OF THE
RETURN OF THE GODS, YOU
MENTIONED THE SUPREME COURT,
WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT JUST
HAPPENED.
WE HAVE SEEN -- IT WAS THE DAY
THAT ROE VERSUS WADE WAS
OVERTURNED.
ALL THE PEOPLE -- MOSES,
ELIJAH, THEY ALL DEALT WITH
THIS.
WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT WE ARE
FIGHTING AGAINST.
IT IS -- WE CAN OVERCOME THIS
THROUGH THE POWER OF GOD.
WE HAVE TO STAND.
WE HAVE TO BE BOLD.
ONE OF THE THINGS -- THEY WANT
TO CANCEL US AND THEY WANT TO
SILENCE US.
WE HAVE TO BE STRONG.
THIS IS OUR MOMENT AND THAT IS
WHY I WROTE THE BOOK.
IT IS NOT ONLY FOR EACH OF US
BUT OTHERS ONLINE.
IT COULD BE THE GREATEST
MOMENT.
IT IS THE POWER OF GOD.
THINK ELIJAH.
THAT IS THE KEY.
JONATHAN, YOUR WISDOM ALWAYS
SHINES FORTH WHEN YOU RELEASE
THESE BOOKS.
YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE IN HIS
LATEST BOOK, CALLED THE RETURN
OF THE GODS.
IT IS AVAILABLE WHEREVER BOOKS
ARE SOLD.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US
TODAY.
WE HAVE A QUICK EMAIL?
I THINK DION WILL DO SOMETHING?
I WILL READ IT.
WE JUST HAVE A TOUCH.
THEY SAY, AFRAID TO WITNESS
TO PEOPLE.
HOW DO I GET OVER THAT?
IF YOU ARE AFRAID TO WITNESS
TO PEOPLE, DO NOT THINK YOU
HAVE TO GET OVER IT.
IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO SHARE
THE GOSPEL.
A WITNESS WILL SIMPLY TELL WHAT
HAPPENED.
DO NOT WAIT TO SHARE YOUR FAITH
UNTIL YOU ARE NO LONGER AFRAID.
HERE ARE THE WORDS FROM I JOHN.
YOU ARE FROM GOD AND HAVE
OVERCOME THEM BECAUSE THE ONE
WHO IS IN YOU IS GREATER THAN
THE ONE IN THE WORLD.
