PARALYZED IN A SKI ACCIDENT.

HE SAW US.

HE WAS LIKE, I DID IT.

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

CHAPEL SERVICES AND WE INVITE

YOU TO JOIN US EVERY DAY AT

VIRGINIA, 23463 . IT IS A

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.

JONATHAN CAHN ISSUES AN URGENT

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.
