> COMING UP, A TEEN WITH A

RARE DISORDER.

I WAS IN PAIN CONSTANTLY.

DOCTORS SAID THERE WAS NO

CURE.

IT WOULD NOT GET BETTER.

IT WOULD ACTUALLY GET WORSE.

SHE IS CONFINED TO A

WHEELCHAIR AT 14.

TO HEAR A DOCTOR SAY SHE

WILL NOT HAVE A DECENT LIFE,

THAT IS PRETTY TROUBLING.

WATCH HER STAND TALL ON

TODAY'S 700 CLUB.

EVEN SHE SAID NOBODY WITHOUT

HER MIRACLE GETS BETTER THAT

FAST.

> WELL, WELCOME TO THE 700

CLUB.

I AM BACK FROM A VERY LONG

VACATION.

IT IS GREAT TO BE WITH YOU,

ASHLEY .

IT IS GREAT TO BE WITH YOU.

OUR CHECK TIME AWAY?

IT WAS REALLY GOOD.

I SPENT SOME TIME WITH THE LORD

AND IN THE MOUNTAINS AND I HAD

A GREAT TIME.

I TOOK A LOT OF PHOTOGRAPHS.

A SHOUT OUT TO YOU.

HE POSTED HIS MOUNTAIN SHOTS,

WHICH ARE REALLY, REALLY

BEAUTIFUL, BY THE WAY.

I AM NOT IN THE MOUNTAINS

ANYMORE.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT POLITICS

IN A BIG WAY.

A FEDERAL JUDGE HAS GRANTED HIS

REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL MASTER TO

REVIEW THE DOCUMENTS SEIZED

FROM HIS MAR-A-LAGO HOME.

THE JUDGE ALSO STOPPED

INVESTIGATORS FROM EXAMINING

THE DOCUMENTS.

THE ORDER IS A DOUBLE BLOW

FOR THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AS

IT ALLOWS TRUMP TO CLAIM

ATTORNEY CLAIMANT -- TARA

MERGENER HAS THE DETAILS.

Reporter: THE DECISION

AUTHORIZES AN OUTSIDE LEGAL

EXPERT TO REVIEW THE DOCUMENTS.

THE JUDGE'S DECISION REVEALS

THAT SOME OF THE DOCUMENTS

TAKEN BY AGENTS INCLUDE

HUNDREDS OF PERSONAL, MEDICAL,

AND TAX RECORDS, WHICH PLAYED A

ROLE IN THE JUDGE'S DECISION.

SIGHTING UNPRECEDENTED

CRCUMSTANCES, JUDGE AILEEN

CANNON, A TRUMP APPOINTEE, SAYS

IT IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE THE

INTEGRITY OF AN ORDERLY PROCESS

AMIDST SWIRLING ALLEGATIONS OF

BIAS AND A MEDIA LEAKS.

IN A PARTICULAR BLOW TO THE

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, THE ORDER

ALSO SAYS TRUMP CAN'T ASSERT

CLAIMS NOT ONLY OF ATTORNEY-

CLIENT PRIVILEGE, BUT ALSO

EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE.

THE DECISION TO NAME A

SPECIAL MASTER IS AN REALLY WIN

FOR PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP

BECAUSE IT MEANS THERE WILL BE

INDEPENDENT SETS OF EYES.

THEY HAVE ORDERED THE

DEPARTMENT TO STOP REVIEWING

THE RECORDS AS PART OF ITS

CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION.

THAT MEANS THE DOJ CAN DO

CERTAIN INVESTIGATIVE WORK BUT

IT CAN NO LONGER INSPECT OR

REVIEW THE DOCUMENTS UNTIL THE

JUDGE SAYS SO.

Reporter: INVESTIGATORS CAN

CONTINUE CONDUCTING A REVIEW

INTO WHETHER THE RECORDS CAN

POSE ANY DAMAGE TO NATIONAL

SECURITY IF EXPOSED.

THE DECISION COMES AFTER THEY

FOUND MORE THAN 11,000

GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS. MORE THAN

100 WERE MARKED CLASSIFIED.

IN HER RULING, CANNON SAYS

TRUMP FACES THE STIGMA OF

HAVING HAD HIS HOME SEARCHED IN

ANY FUTURE INDICTMENT BASED ON

THE SEIZURE OF THOSE RECORDS

WOULD CAUSE REPUTATIONAL HARM.

WITH MIDTERMS JUST SEVERAL

WEEKS AWAY, TRUMP BLASTED THE

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AT A RALLY

THIS WEEKEND TO REVVED UP

SUPPORTERS.

A FEW WEEKS AGO, YOU SAW

WHEN WE WITNESSED ONE OF THE

MOST SHOCKING ABUSES OF POWER

BY ANY ADMINISTRATION IN

AMERICAN HISTORY -- THE

SHAMEFUL RAID AND BREAKING INTO

MY HOME IN MAR-A-LAGO WAS A

TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE.

Reporter: MEANWHILE,

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN CONTINUES

TO TARGET TRUMP SUPPORTERS ON

THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, HOPING TO

TURN OUT DEMOCRATS IN FORCE

COME NOVEMBER.

THE EXTREME MAGA REPUBLICANS

IN CONGRESS HAVE CHOSEN TO GO

BACKWARDS.

FULL OF ANGER, VIOLENCE, HATE,

AND DIVISION.

TOGETHER, WE CAN AND WE MUST

CHOOSE A DIFFERENT PATH.

Reporter: AS FOR THE JUDGE'S

ORDER, IT COMES DESPITE

STRENUOUS OBJECTIONS BY THE

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, WHICH SAYS

SPECIAL MASTERS WERE NOT

NECESSARY.

OFFICIALS WERE ALREADY

REVIEWING POTENTIALLY CRIMINAL

EDGED DOCUMENTS.

HOW WILL THE JUSTICE

DEPARTMENT RESPOND TO THE

RULING?

WELL, RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE

EXAMINING THE JUDGE'S DECISION

VERY CAREFULLY AND WILL

CONSIDER APPROPRIATE LEGAL

ACTIONS BUT IT IS NOT SAYING

WHETHER OR NOT IT IS GOING TO

REPEAL IT.

BOTH SIDES HAVE GOT TO COME UP

WITH A POSSIBLE LIST OF SPECIAL

MASTERS BY THIS FRIDAY.

WHAT KIND OF QUALIFICATIONS

ARE THEY LOOKING FOR?

ULTIMATELY, WHO DECIDES WHO THE

SPECIAL MASTER WILL BE?

AGAIN, BOTH SIDES HAVE TO

COME UP WITH THEIR OWN LIST AND

COME TO SOME SORT OF AGREEMENT.

THE JUDGE MAY PLAY A ROLE.

BSICALLY, REACHING OUT TO

PEOPLE SHE RESPECTS AND PEOPLE

WHO HAVE TONS OF EXPERIENCE IN

THE REALM OF 20 PLUS YEARS.

THEY HAVE A SPECIAL MASTER THAT

MAY BE -- THEY CAN COME UP WITH

SOMEBODY THAT THEY THINK --

WANTS THE LIST OF NAMES COMES

OUT, THEY HAVE TO AGREE ON IT

AND THAT CAN BE INTERESTING IN

THE PROCESS GOING FORWARD.

THANK YOU FOR THE INSIGHT.

YESTERDAY, FOR THE FIRST TIME

IN TWO YEARS, WE GATHERED IN

THE CHAPEL TO HEAR MESSAGES

FROM PAT AND GORDON.

THIS UNIVERSITY -- IT IS

TOUCHING THE LIVES OF HUNDREDS

OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AND WE

REMEMBER THE FACTS THAT GOD HAS

BEEN FAITHFUL.

SO OFTEN, WE APPROACH GOD

WITHOUT THE RIGHT CONCEPT OF

WHO WE ARE AND WHO HE IS.

YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND YOU COME

FROM GOD.

WHEN YOU GET THAT STRAIGHT,

EVERYTHING FALLS INTO PLACE.

YOU UNDERSTAND WHO YOU ARE AND

YOUR PURPOSE AND YOUR DESTINY.

HE HAS SENT YOU INTO THE WORLD.

HE GIVES YOU HIS PEACE.

HE GIVES YOU HIS HOLY SPIRIT.

HE GIVES YOU THE ENABLEMENT FOR

EVERYTHING HE IS ASKING YOU TO

DO.

IT IS NOT BASED ON ANYTHING YOU

HAVE DONE.

IT IS BASED ON HIM, HIS

PURPOSE, HIS PLAN, HIS DESTINY

FOR YOU.

KEEP THESE THINGS IN MIND, THEN

YOU WILL HEAR THOSE WONDERFUL

WORDS, WELL DONE, MY GOOD AND

FAITHFUL SERVANT.

ZAMBIA ARE TRANSLATING THE

BIBLE INTO 20 NATIVE LANGUAGES.

THANKS TO THE WORK OF WYCLIFFE

ASSOCIATES, WE WENT TO SEE THE

RESULTS.

CHRISTIANS ARE READING GOD'S

WORD IN THEIR OWN TONGUE FOR

THE VERY FIRST TIME.

Reporter: ZAMBIA, KNOWN FOR

ITS VAST LANDSCAPES, WALKING

SAFARIS, AND VICTORIA FALLS IS

STILL CALLED AFRICA'S BEST-KEPT

SECRET.

IT IS GIVING BIRTH TO YET

ANOTHER UNTOLD STORY.

MEN AND WOMEN MEETING DAILY TO

TRANSLATE THE BIBLE INTO THE

LANGUAGES THEY SPEAK.

WHAT IS YOUR FIRST MEMORY OF

THE BIBLE?

JOHN 3:16.

BISHOP HENRY MUMBA PLANS AND

PASTORS CHURCHES AND IS HELPING

TO LEAD TRANSLATION WORK IN

MANSA .

MY PASTOR WAS A MISSIONARY

FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY AND HE

CAME INTO THIS TOWN AND WHEN

THEY PREACHED THE GOSPEL TO ME,

THE FIRST VERSE THAT I KNEW WAS

JOHN 3:16.

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT

HE GAVE HIS ONLY SON AND

WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD

NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING

LIFE.

Reporter: SCHOLARS ESTIMATE

THERE ARE, AT THE VERY LEAST,

7000 LANGUAGES SPOKEN AROUND

THE WORLD.

FEWER THAN 800 OF THOSE

LANGUAGES HAVE THE BIBLE FULLY

TRANSLATED, BOTH OLD AND NEW

TESTAMENTS, LEAVING THOUSANDS

STILL IN NEED OF TRANSLATION.

MANY OF THOSE ARE HERE IN THE

CONTINENT OF AFRICA, AND HARD-

TO-REACH PLACES, AS WELL AS

ASIA AND INDO-PACIFIC REGIONS.

THAT IS THE SOUND OF ANOTHER

AREA REACHED.

CHURCHGOERS IN MANSA HEARING

THE WORD IN AUSHI, THEIR

MOTHER TURNED FOR THE VERY

FIRST TIME.

AFTER READING?

THERE IS DANCING.

IT IS LIKE GOD IS SPEAKING

OUR LANGUAGE.

Reporter: THE FIRST, EVEN

FOR BISHOP HENRY MUMBA,

REMEMBERS HEARING JOHN 3:16 AT

19.

NOW HE IS HEARING IT IN HIS

NATIVE LANGUAGE AT 58.

IT IS THE FIRST ONE --

THIS NEW TESTAMENT GIFT IS

MORE THAN LITERATURE.

FOR ME, IT IS NOT ABOUT

TRANSLATING THE BIBLE ONLY OR

HAVING THE BIBLE PRINTED.

TO ME, IT IS ABOUT CHANGING

LIVES.

I HAVE SEEN MANY LIVES CHANGED

THROUGH BIBLE TRANSLATION.

Reporter: THAT INCLUDES HIS

OWN.

HE TRAVELS TO COUNTRIES,

TEACHING TRANSLATORS TO USE

TECHNOLOGY.

THAT IS NOT HOW THIS BIBLE

TRANSLATION CAREER BEGAN FOR

THE YOUNG HUSBAND AND FATHER.

TOMUSSONE JOSE MacHINGA GREW UP

IN SOME BLOB WAY , FLEEING

CIVIL WAR IN MOZAMBIQUE.

I APPEARED IN THE MEETING.

I WAS DRUNK BECAUSE, BY THAT

TIME, I WAS DOING BOTH LIVES.

I WAS GOING TO CHURCH AND I WAS

DOING WORLD THINGS.

SO, I APPEARED IN THE MEETING.

I WAS DRUNK AND THEY SAID, YOU

HAVE TO GO HOME AND COME BACK

TOMORROW.

WYCLIFFE ASSOCIATES TOUR

RETURNED AND DID THE WORK THAT

THE POWER OF THE WORD HE

TRANSLATED DID NOT BECOME REAL

UNTIL HE FOUND HIMSELF SICK AND

IN THE HOSPITAL.

MY MOTHER WAS TELLING ME, WE

COULD NOT EAT ANYTHING AT HOME.

SOMETIMES, THEY COULD NOT HAVE

TRANSPORT TO COME AND VISIT ME

IN THE HOSPITAL.

THEN THEY STARTED TALKING TO ME

ABOUT TAKING CHRIST AS MY

SAVIOR.

WHEN BIBLE TRANSLATION COMES, I

WAS HAVING THAT MIND OF THE

LIFE THAT I WAS TRYING TO LEAVE

BEHIND.

BUT SOMETHING STARTED CHANGING

THROUGH BIBLE TRANSLATION.

Reporter: DURING OUR VISIT

TO THIS REGION OF THE WORLD,

THERE WERE ACTUALLY THREE NEW

TESTAMENT TRANSLATIONS INCEL OF

RATED, THE NYNJA IN LUSAKA,

LAYA IN LIVINGSTON, AND AUSHI

IN MANSA .

WE WERE IN LIVINGSTON FOR

THE CELEBRATION OF THE NEW

TESTAMENT IN LAYA, THE MOTHER

TONGUE OF THOSE WHO CALL THIS

VILLAGE HIM, INCLUDING BUSTER

PAUL TEMBO.

THERE ARE 73 LANGUAGES IN

OUR COUNTRY.

ONLY SEVEN WERE CONSIDERED

OFFICIAL LANGUAGES.

THOSE ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAD

SCRIPTURE TRANSLATED.

HE IS THE PASTOR WHO LEADS A

CHURCH OWNED TRANSLATION WORK

HERE.

WHEN YOU BRING IT OUT IN

YOUR OWN LANGUAGE, WHEN YOU

READ IT OUT IN YOUR OWN

LANGUAGE, EVEN THE

INTERPRETATION OF IT TO THE

PEOPLE, THE UNDERSTANDING THAT

YOU HAVE OR YOU BRING TO THE

PEOPLE IS SO CLEAR.

IT HAS A GREAT SPIRITUAL IMPACT

IN THEIR LIVES

THAT IMPACT IS WHY WYCLIFFE

ASSOCIATES FACILITATES CHURCH

OWNED BIBLE TRANSLATION IN

ZAMBIA AND OTHER PARTS OF THE

WORLD.

WHEN WE SAY CHURCH OWNED

BIBLE TRANSLATION, WE MEAN THE

LOCAL CHURCH OWNS NOT JUST THE

TRANSLATION PROCESS BUT ALSO

THE SCRIPTURES THEY PRODUCE.

Reporter: SIMOUN UNG IS THE

PRESIDENT.

WHAT IS LOST IN TRANSLATION?

THAT IS A VERY GOOD

QUESTION.

I THINK PART OF THE CHALLENGE

NOW IS HOW CAN WE FURTHER

ACCELERATE THE PROCESS WITH THE

SACRAMENT -- WITHOUT

SACRIFICING THE QUALITY OF THE

TRANSLATION.

WHEN YOU SEE THE FIELDS, YOU

NEED -- SO, THE URGENCY FOR US

IS REALLY THERE IN TERMS OF

BEING ABLE TO PRESS FORWARD.

Reporter: PRESSING FORWARD

WITH THE MESSAGE THAT GOD LOVES

YOU.

EFREM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS, ZAMBIA.

WE APPLAUD THE WORK OF THE

TRANSLATORS.

IT IS WONDERFUL WHAT HAPPENS

WHEN PEOPLE GET THE GOSPEL IN

THEIR HEART LANGUAGE.

ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS OF THE

BIBLE IS IT TRANSLATES THE

PARABLES, ALWAYS TRANSLATES THE

MESSAGE OF THE GOOD NEWS,

ALWAYS TRANSLATES.

ARE THERE DIFFICULT PASSAGES?

YES, THERE ARE.

ARE THERE PASSAGES WHERE -- GO

BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SOURCE.

GO BACK TO THE GREEK AND THE

HEBREW TO GET THE MEANING.

HERE IS THE FUNDAMENTAL.

JESUS CAME.

HE DIED FOR OUR SINS AND HE

ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD AND HE

IS HERE TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

THAT TRANSLATES INTO EVERY

LANGUAGE AND EVERY CULTURE.

ASHLEY?

> ALL RIGHT, STILL AHEAD,

GREAT NEWS FROM AMERICA'S

PASTOR.

HELP IS HERE.

MAX LUCADO EXPLAINS WHEN HE

JOINS US LIVE.

> A TEENAGER IS CONFINED TO A

WHEELCHAIR.

FIND OUT HOW SHE WAS INSTANTLY

HEALED AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF

PAIN.

> GORDON AND I WILL BE

PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR NEEDS

COMING UP.

> THEY THOUGHT SHE WAS

SUFFERING FROM GROWING PAINS.

HE WAS ACTUALLY SUFFERING FROM

A RARE DISORDER WITH NO CURE.

EVENTUALLY, THE TEENAGER WAS

CONFINED TO A WHEELCHAIR,

BARELY ABLE TO MOVE.

ONE DAY, DURING A WORSHIP

SERVICE AT YOUTH CAMP, SHE

EXPERIENCED THE MIRACLE WORKING

POWER OF PRAYER.

THE TIME HAD FINALLY COME

FOR JOY WILLIS, THE FIRST DAY

OF A CHRISTIAN YOUTH CAMP IN

OZARK, ARKANSAS IN JUNE OF

2021.

SHE HAD ALREADY BEEN TWICE

BEFORE AND LOVED THE GAMES,

ACTIVITIES, AND FELLOWSHIP.

HOWEVER, THIS TIME WAS

DIFFERENT BECAUSE JOY, NOW 14,

COULD NOT WALK OR RACE HER

ARMS.

I WAS FRUSTRATED AND UPSET

BECAUSE I WANTED TO GO AND PLAY

WITH THEM BUT I COULD NOT.

SHE LOVED RUNNING AROUND

WITH HER SIBLINGS BUT WHEN SHE

WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD, SHE BEGAN

TO FEEL PAIN IN HER KNEES AND

ANKLES

I WOULD TRY TO RUN AND THEN

IT WOULD JUST HURT TOO BAD AND

SOMETIMES I WOULD TWIST MY

ANKLE.

Reporter: AT FIRST, HER

FATHER ROBBIE AND MOTHER, ANNA

MAY, DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS MAYBE

GROWING PAINS.

IT IS NOT.

IT GOT WORSE.

HER HANDS AND OTHER JOINTS

BEGAN TO HURT OR WILL EASILY

DISLOCATED AND WOULD TAKE A

LONG TIME TO HEAL.

MY JAW WOULD POP OUT

SOMETIMES WHEN I WOULD.

MY COUSIN GAVE ME A HUG AND IT

POPPED MY RIB OUT.

I WAS IN PAIN CONSTANTLY FOR AS

LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER.

FOR SEVEN YEARS, THEY PRAYED

FOR HEALING AND FOR ANSWERS,

YET, DOCTORS COULD NOT FIND A

CAUSE.

THE ONLY THING THEY COULD OFFER

WAS TO HELP JOY MANAGE HER

SYMPTOMS.

MEDICATION FOR THE PAIN,

PHYSICAL THERAPY, AND BRACES TO

STRENGTHEN AND SUPPORT HER

JOINTS.

IF SHE WALKED, ESPECIALLY IF

SHE TRIED TO MOVE QUICKLY

WITHOUT THE ANKLE BRACES, SHE

WOULD FALL COMPLETELY.

SHE STARTED LOSING HOPE THAT

HER DREAMS WOULD COME TRUE.

I WANTED TO BE A CHEF.

I WAS WORRIED I WOULD NOT BE

ABLE TO DO THAT.

AND I WANT TO RAISE KIDS

SOMEDAY AND, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD

BE KIND OF HARD IF YOU CANNOT

EVEN TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, TO

TAKE CARE OF CHILDREN.

FINALLY, WHEN SHE WAS 13,

DOCTOR DIAGNOSED HER WITH

EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME , A

HEREDITARY, CONNECTIVE TISSUE

DISORDER THAT IS IN CURABLE.

IT WAS TERRIFYING.

THE DOCTOR SAID IT WOULD NOT

GET BETTER.

IT WOULD ACTUALLY GET WORSE, SO

IT WAS SCARY.

TO HEAR A DOCTOR SAY YOUR

CHILD IS NOT GOING TO GET

BETTER, SHE IS NOT GOING TO

HAVE A DECENT LIFE, THAT IS

PRETTY TROUBLING.

I SAID, GOD, YOU ARE A GOOD

FATHER.

YOUR WORD TELLS ME YOU ARE A

BETTER FATHER THAN I AM, BUT I

WANT TO LET YOU KNOW, IF I

COULD HEAL HER TODAY, I WOULD

DO THAT, SO I'M HAVING A REALLY

HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING HOW YOU

HAVE NOT ALREADY.

BY 2021, SHE WAS IN A

WHEELCHAIR WITH BOTH ARMS

DISLOCATED AND BARELY ABLE TO

MOVE OR CARE FOR HERSELF.

AS SHE HAD DONE MANY TIMES

BEFORE, ANNA MAY CRIED OUT TO

GOD . THIS TIME WAS DIFFERENT.

WE HAD A CHILD THAT WAS

COMING TO STAY WITH US AND SHE

HAD QUITE A BIT OF SPECIAL

NEEDS.

I SAID, GOD, I LITERALLY CANNOT

DO BOTH THINGS BECAUSE BOTH

THINGS, IT TAKES ALL OF ME.

I HEARD HIM SPEAK VERY CLEARLY

TO ME AND HE JUST SAID, OKAY, I

WILL HEAL JOY THEN.

SHE WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO

WOULD HEAR THOSE WORDS.

THE NEXT DAY, THE FAMILY MADE

THEIR ANNUAL TRIP TO THE YOUTH

CAMP IN THE OZARKS.

AS ALWAYS, AFTER THE GAMES WERE

OVER, THEY HELD A WORSHIP

SERVICE.

IT WAS THEN THAT JOY'S FRIEND,

JAELYN, BELIEVED GOD GAVE HER A

MESSAGE FOR JOY.

I FELT A BIG WAVE OF

HAPPINESS AND JOY JUST COME

OVER ME.

HE TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO

TELL JOY THAT SHE WAS GOING TO

BE HEALED.

SHE HOPED THAT NEWS WAS TRUE

BUT AFTER YEARS OF

DISAPPOINTMENT, SHE WAS NOT

EXPECTING MUCH.

THE SPEAKER OF THE SERVICE,

PASTOR DAVID WILLIS, ALSO FELT

GOD WAS TELLING HIM THE SAME

THING.

HE TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE

AT MY HANDS OR THE ADULTS.

HE WANTED THE KIDS TO PRAY FOR

HER AND HE WAS GOING TO USE THE

KIDS TO PERFORM THIS MIRACLE.

THEY STARTED LAYING HANDS ON

HER AND BEGAN PRAYING WITH HER.

THEN JOY'S OLDER BROTHER,

TIM, TOLD HER WHAT HE FELT GOD

HAD PUT ON HIS HEART.

WHENEVER JESUS HEALED THE

LAME, HE SAID, GET UP AND WALK.

THEY HAD TO HAVE THE FAITH TO

STAND UP.

SHE KNEW GOD WAS AT WORK.

AFTER HER DAD HELPED HER TAKE

HER FIRST COUPLE STEPS, SHE

ASKED HIM TO REMOVE HER ANKLE

BRACES.

THE NEXT THING I KNOW,

WITHOUT MY HELP, SHE IS WALKING

BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THAT

PLATFORM.

I FELT REALLY HAPPY AND ALL

THE PAIN WAS JUST SLOWLY GOING

AWAY.

AFTER LITTLE WHILE, I STOPPED

AND STARTED TRYING TO RAISE MY

ARMS.

BOTH HER HANDS ARE RAISED,

STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR,

WORSHIPING JESUS AND THE WHOLE

PLACE WENT NUTS.

OUR CAMP DIRECTOR WAS DANCING.

HE WAS JUMPING.

I WAS WEEPING.

I HAD TEARS -- I COULD NOT TALK

OR WRAP MY MIND AROUND WHAT GOD

WAS DOING.

IT MADE ME WANT TO ALMOST

GREEN BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, IT

WAS TRUE.

AFTERWARDS, SHE RAN UP A

ROAD.

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER,

THAT I CAN REMEMBER, MY LEGS

DID NOT HURT.

HER PHYSICAL THERAPIST WAS

ALSO AMAZED.

EVEN SHE SAID, NOBODY,

WITHOUT A MIRACLE GETS BETTER

THAT FAST.

THEY BELIEVE IT WAS ONLY

THROUGH PRAYER AND GOD'S LOVE

THAT SHE CAN ONCE AGAIN ENJOY

ALL LIFE HAS TO OFFER.

HE WAS DOING THINGS I NEVER

COULD HAVE DONE AND THAT I DID

@NOT HAVE THE FAITH --

I WAS GRATEFUL FOR GOD

HEALING HER AND I KNEW THAT JOY

WAS GOING TO HAVE A FUTURE.

I'M ABLE TO COOK BY MYSELF

NOW AND I LIKE TO GO HIKING.

I LIKE TO PRAY FOR OTHER PEOPLE

BECAUSE IF GOD CAN HEAL, HE CAN

HEAL THEM.

THAT STORY WILL GET YOU

BELIEVING, BELIEVING IN

MIRACLES.

I LOVE THE HONESTY OF THE

FATHER.

I LOVE MY DAUGHTER.

I LOVE JOY.

IF YOU ARE MY HEAVENLY FATHER,

WHY HAVE YOU NOT HEALED HER

YET?

WHAT AN HONEST PRAYER?

OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN,

HE IS OUR LOVING, HEAVENLY

FATHER.

HE WANTS TO HEAL YOU.

THAT IS WHY JESUS GAVE US THIS

WONDERFUL PRAYER.

WE CALL IT THE LORDS PRAYER.

ARE FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN.

HOLY ARE YOU.

THY KINGDOM COME.

THAT IS A REAL THEOLOGICAL

PHRASE, THY KINGDOM COME.

THE KINGDOM, WHAT IS THAT?

THAT IS WHEN GOD'S WILL IS

BEING DONE.

THAT IS THE NEXT SENTENCE.

THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE

DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN

HEAVEN.

NOW, IN HEAVEN, IS THERE

ANYBODY SICK?

NO.

IT IS NOT ALLOWED IN HEAVEN.

IT IS ILLEGAL IN HEAVEN.

YOU CANNOT BE SICK THERE.

EVERYTHING IS TAKEN CARE OF.

WE GET TO HAVE THE WONDERFUL

PRIVILEGE OF PRAISING THAT INTO

BEING ON EARTH.

HOW DO YOU GET IT?

I HAVE LEARNED OVER MY LIFE YOU

DO NOT GET IT FROM COMPLAINING

TO GOD.

IT IS OKAY TO POUR OUT YOUR

COMPLAINT BUT IN THAT, GIVE HIM

THANKS FOR THE ANSWER.

GAVE HIM THANKS THAT HIS

KINGDOM IS OVERWHELMING YOU,

THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE, AND

JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE

FILLING YOUR INNERMOST BEING

AND THEN LET YOUR REQUEST BE

MADE KNOWN.

MAKE A BIG REQUEST TO GOD.

YOU GET TO COME BOLDLY TO THE

THRONE OF GRACE, NOT BASED ON

ANYTHING YOU DO, BUT BASED ON

WHAT JESUS HAS ALREADY

ACCOMPLISHED ON THE CROSS.

WHEN YOU HAVE THESE THINGS,

MIRACLES CAN HAPPEN FOR YOU.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BELIEVE

IT AND THEN SPEAK IT AND THEN

ACT IT.

WHEN YOU DO THESE THINGS, YOU

PUT IT ALL TOGETHER AND

WONDERFUL THINGS CAN HAPPEN.

NOW, ASHLEY AND I ARE GOING TO

PRAY FOR YOU.

IT IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE

PROGRAM.

I LOVE PRAYING FOR PEOPLE.

I LOVE SEEING THE KINGDOM OF

GOD, AND THE WILL OF GOD TO BE

DONE IN YOUR LIFE AND IN YOUR

BODY AND IN YOUR FINANCES AND

YOUR FAMILY.

LET GOD'S WILL OVERWHELM YOU,

HIS GRACE, HIS MERCY, HIS

FORGIVENESS, HIS HEALING, HIS

PROVISION, EVERYTHING.

LET IT OVERWHELM YOU AND

OVERTAKE YOU.

JUST GIVE THANKS TO HIM.

RAISE YOUR HANDS AND GIVE HIM

THANKS.

WE ARE GOING TO PRAY.

WE WANT TO READ THE PRAYER

REQUEST THAT HAVE COME IN.

WE HAVE A BIG STACK IN FRONT OF

US AND THEY ARE REPRESENTATIVE

OF THE THOUSANDS OF PRAYER

REQUEST THAT HAVE COME INTO

WEST.

HERE IS ONE TO BE HEALED FROM

HEART DISEASE FOLLOWING TWO

HEART ATTACKS.

I AM ASKING FOR THE LOVE AND

POWER AND FIRE OF THE HOLY

SPIRIT.

THAT IS A GREAT PRAYER REQUEST.

SALVATION FOR OUR ADULT

CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.

THEY HAVE TURNED AWAY.

HERE IS ONE TO BE DELIVERED

FROM ADDICTION.

THIS IS A PRAYER FOR MY

GRANDCHILDREN AS THEY BEGIN A

NEW SCHOOL YEAR TO HAVE GOOD

HEALTH AND SAFETY.

WE WILL PRAY FOR CHILDREN ALL

OVER.

AND THEN GOD WOULD RESTORE OUR

MARRIAGE.

ANOTHER PERSON SAYS, I NEED

GOD'S HELP.

I CANNOT FEEL MY FEET OR LEGS

WELL.

SOMEONE ELSE IS ASKING THAT GOD

RESTORES MY HUSBAND'S SMALL

INTESTINE ENZYMES SO HE CAN EAT

AND DIGEST FOOD.

SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS A FINANCIAL

BREAKTHROUGH.

LET'S PRAY.

JOIN WITH US.

IF YOU HAVE A NEED, ENCOURAGE

YOU RIGHT NOW.

IN AN ACT OF FAITH, LAY YOUR

HAND ON THAT AREA OF THE BODY

THAT NEEDS HEALING WE WILL BE

YOUR TWO OR MORE.

THEY SAY WHEN TWO OR MORE

AGREE, TOUCHING ANYTHING, IT

SHALL BE DONE FOR THEM BY MY

FATHER IN HEAVEN.

THESE ARE THE WORDS OF JESUS.

IT SHALL BE DONE FOR THEM.

WE WILL AGREE WITH YOU.

YOU REACH OUT IN FAITH AND

TOUCH AND LET JESUS DO ALL THE

REST.

LET'S PRAY.

LORD, WE COME TO YOU BELIEVING

AND WE COME TO YOU DECLARING

THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD HAS

DRAWN NEAR TO US AND THE WHALE,

THE DOMINION OF GOD -- WE LAY

ASIDE ALL THAT WE HAVE BECAUSE

WE HAVE NOTHING COMPARED TO

WHAT YOU HAVE FOR US.

WE ASK FOR YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS,

NOT ANYTHING WE HAVE DONE ON

OUR OWN, BUT YOUR

RIGHTEOUSNESS.

YOUR PIECE.

YOUR JOY.

WE THANK YOU FOR THIS.

YOU WANT TO POUR IT OUT OVER

US.

WE THANK YOU FOR IT.

NOW, WE COME BELIEVING AND

BELIEVING FOR HEALING.

FOR THOSE WHO ARE LAYING A HAND

ON THAT AREA OF THE BODY THAT

NEEDS HEALING, WE COME INTO

AGREEMENT WITH THEM.

WE SAY NOW, OUT LOUD, HEALED

AND BE MADE WHOLE.

KINGDOM OF GOD, COME.

WILL OF GOD, BE DONE IN MY BODY

NOW.

I RECEIVE EVERYTHING THAT JESUS

HAS PURCHASED FOR ME.

I RECEIVED IT.

MY BODY HAS BEEN REDEEMED BY

THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB.

BY HIS STRIPES, I AM HEALED.

EVERY CELL IN MY BODY IS

RESTORED NOW BY THE POWER OF

THE CROSS.

I RECEIVE IT NOW.

THAT IS IN JESUS' NAME.

THERE IS SOMEONE WHO HAS A

HEART CONDITION AND IT FEELS

LIKE THERE IS THIS CONTINUAL

WEIGHT PRESSING INTO YOUR CHEST.

GOD JUST RELEASED YOU FROM

THAT.

THAT BURDEN IS GONE.

YOU CAN BREATHE FREELY.

NEW ENERGY IS COMING TO YOU.

YOUR HEART IS GOING TO BEAT

NORMALLY AND OXYGEN IS BEING

FILLED THROUGHOUT YOUR BODY.

BE HEALED AND BE MADE WHOLE IN

JESUS' NAME.

SOMEONE ELSE HAS A PROBLEM WITH

YOUR LEFT JAW, TMJ.

IT LOCKS UP AND YOU CANNOT OPEN

YOUR MOUTH.

GOD IS HEALING YOU OF THAT.

JUST OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE AND

RECEIVE WHAT HE HAS FOR YOU NOW

IN JESUS' NAME.

I BELIEVE GOD IS TOUCHING

SPINES.

I SEE SPINES LITERALLY

STRAIGHTENING.

IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH

YOUR SPINE, JUST BELIEVE AND

RECEIVE THIS MIRACLE.

I ALSO HEARD SPINA BIFIDA AND

SPINAL STENOSIS.

IF YOU HAVE THOSE THINGS, GOD

IS TOUCHING YOU RIGHT NOW.

THOSE AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS,

THOSE DISORDERS, THAT DISEASE,

WHATEVER IS CAUSING YOU PLANE

AND A FICTION, GOD IS TOUCHING

YOU RIGHT NOW.

THE DOCTORS HAVE SAID THERE IS

NO HOPE OR CURE FOR THIS.

WE CAN ONLY HELP YOU WITH PAIN

MANAGEMENT.

NO, YOU ARE HEALED COMPLETELY

FROM THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD TO

THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET.

YOU CAN WALK, RUN, JUMP LIKE

NEVER BEFORE.

YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE A VERY

ACTIVE LIFESTYLE IN THE NAME OF

JESUS.

JUST RECEIVE IT AND BEGIN TO

WORSHIP HIM AND RECEIVE THIS

HEALING.

FOR ALL THE PRAYER REQUEST

BEFORE US, ALL THE ONES WE HAVE

READ AND ARE REPRESENTED HERE,

ALL THE ONES THAT HAVE COME

INTO THE PRAYER CENTER, WE JOIN

TOGETHER.

WE DECLARE OVER THEM THAT YOU

> HE HAS BEEN CALLED THE BEST

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN HE FELT

TOTALLY BURNED OUT AS A PASTOR.

HE REVEALS WHAT WAS GOING ON IN

HIS LIFE AND TALKS ABOUT THE

FRIEND WHO HELPED HIM PUSH

THROUGH IT.

> WELCOME BACK TO THE 700

CLUB.

THE ISRAELI MILITARY RELEASED

ITS FINAL CONCLUSIONS IN THE

DEATH OF JOURNALIST SERENA ABU

AKLEH.

THEY WERE KILLED WHILE COVERING

AN ISRAELI COUNTERTERRORISM

RAID IN MAY.

HER DEATH SPARK AN

INTERNATIONAL OUTCRY AND

PALESTINIAN ACCUSATIONS OF WAR

CRIMES.

THE IDF CONCLUDED THAT WHILE

THERE IS NO DIRECT EVIDENCE,

THERE IS, QUOTE, HIGH

POSSIBILITY THAT SHIREEN ABU

AKLEH WAS ACCIDENTALLY HIT BY

IDF GUNFIRE.

AND ISRAELI SOLDIERS WERE

RETURNING FIRE AT TERRACE WHO

WERE FIRING AT THAT.

AL JAZEERA CRITICIZED THE

FINDINGS.

> THOSE IN CHILE REJECTED A

CONTROVERSIAL NEW CONSTITUTION

FULL OF LEFT-WING POLICIES.

PEOPLE CELEBRATED IN THE

STREETS AS 62% OF VOTERS

OPPOSED IT.

ONE PROVISION WOULD HAVE

LEGALIZED ABORTION UP UNTIL

BIRTH.

ANOTHER ENABLE PEOPLE TO BE

RECOGNIZED BY THEIR SEXUAL

IDENTITY AND ALSO INCLUDED

LANGUAGE THAT DIVIDED PEOPLE

INTO ETHNIC AND IDENTITY GROUPS

RATHER THAN ONE UNITED PEOPLE.

THE DOCUMENT WAS PROPOSED BY

THE CURRENT PRESIDENT.

THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SUPPORT.

HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS FROM MAX

LUCADO.

HELP IS ALREADY HERE.

MAX LUCADO HAS WRITTEN AND

SOLD MORE FAITH-BASED BOOKS

THAN JUST ABOUT ANYONE.'S

MASTERFUL USE OF SCRIPTURE AND

STORYTELLING HAS ENCOURAGED

MILLIONS.

MAX IS QUICK TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE

MANY DIFFICULTIES LIFE THROWS

OUR WAY.

IN HIS NEWEST RELEASE, HELP IS

HERE, MAX SAYS TRUSTING THE

HOLY SPIRIT MEANS WE DO NOT

HAVE TO WALK THIS PATH ALONE OR

CARRY BURDENS TOO HEAVY TO

BARE.

YOUR JOINING US VIA ZOOM.

IT IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO HAVE

YOU WITH US.

THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US

THIS MORNING.

CERTAINLY, IT IS MY

PLEASURE.

MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT I AM NOT

THERE IN THE STUDIO WITH YOU.

IT WAS GREAT TO TALK WITH YOU

AND HELLO FROM SAN ANTONIO,

TEXAS.

HELLO FROM TEXAS.

LET'S GET INTO IT.

THE LAST TIME WE HAD YOU ON THE

PROGRAM, YOU HAD JUST BEEN

DIAGNOSED WITH AN AORTIC

ANEURYSM.

HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?

THANKFULLY, I AM DOING WELL.

THE AORTIC ANEURYSM HAS NOT

GROWN.

FOR THAT, I AM VERY GRATEFUL.

IN FACT, HAVE AN APPOINTMENT

THIS WEEK WITH MY CARDIOLOGIST

WE JUST HAD IT MEASURED ABOUT

TWO WEEKS AGO AND IT DID NOT

SHOW ANY GROWTH, SO WE ARE

GRATEFUL.

I CAN LIVE WITH IT.

I AM THANKFUL FOR THE PRAYERS,

THAT PRAYERS ARE BEING

ANSWERED.

I HAVE COMPLETE STRENGTH AND MY

SCHEDULE IS 100%.

I AM MOVING ON WITH LIFE.

IT IS PRETTY GOOD FOR A 67 YEAR

OLD.

WE ARE SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT

GOOD NEWS.

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR BOOK.

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT

HELPING US THROUGH OUR

TROUBLES.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE WAYS THE

HOLY SPIRIT HAS HELPED YOU

THROUGH THE YEARS?

WELL, I GREW UP IN A

PARTICULAR BRANCH OF THE

CHRISTIAN CHURCH THAT DID NOT

EMPHASIZE THE HOLY SPIRIT.

IN FACT, HAD YOU ASKED ME, AS A

YOUNG CHRISTIAN, WHO IS THE

HOLY SPIRIT?

MY ANSWER WOULD HAVE BEEN THE

HOLY WHO?

I DO NOT FAULT ANYBODY.

I OWN THE BIBLE.

I COULD HAVE READ ABOUT HIM BUT

IT WAS YEARS INTO MY CHRISTIAN

LIFE BEFORE AI REALLY CAME TO

SEE THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A

HEAVENLY HELPER, AT OUR

UNFAILING FRIEND.

FOR ME, THIS BEGAN IN MY MID-

30s, WHEN I BEGAN AS A SENIOR

PASTOR OF THE CHURCH, WHERE I

STILL SERVE TO THIS DAY.

I WENT THROUGH A TIME OF -- AS

MANY PASTORS DO, I WENT THROUGH

A TIME OF GREAT STRESS AND

FEELING OVERWHELMED, LIKE I WAS

IN CHARGE OF EVERYTHING.

I DEVELOPED A BAD CASE OF

INSOMNIA AND I USED TO CLIMB

OUT OF BED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE

NIGHT AND GO DOWNSTAIRS AND

PRAY.

LITTLE BY LITTLE, I SENSED A

SUPERNATURAL STRENGTH,

SOMETHING HELPING ME.

WE SAW HEALINGS AND ANSWERED

PRAYERS IN OUR CHURCH.

MY OWN PRAYERS SAW PEOPLE BEING

HEALED, ESPECIALLY MOTHERS WHO

WERE HAVING DIFFICULTY, HAVING

DIFFICULTY GETTING PREGNANT.

I BEGAN TO REALIZE THERE WAS

SOMETHING TAKING PLACE IN MY

LIFE AND I WAS STUDYING JOHN 14

ONE DAY AND I HEARD -- I READ

THE WORDS TO JESUS, WHERE HE

DESCRIBED THE HOLY SPIRIT AS

OUR HELPER OR OUR ADVOCATE.

I THOUGHT, THAT IS WHO I HAVE.

I HAVE A HEAVEN SENT HELPER.

EVER SINCE THEN, I HAVE LEARNED

TO DEPEND UPON THE PRESENCE OF

GOD ON THE EARTH TODAY, THE

HOLY SPIRIT IS EXECUTING GOD'S

WILL ON THE TODAY AND AVAILABLE

TO BRING HELP TO ANYBODY WHO

NEEDS IT.

MAX, THERE IS A LOT OF

PEOPLE, CHRISTIANS, NON-

CHRISTIANS, PEOPLE WHO ARE

EXPERIENCING JUST ANXIETY ON

ANOTHER LEVEL.

WHAT ARE SOME PRACTICAL WAYS WE

CAN ACCESS THE POWER OF THE

HOLY SPIRIT, THAT CAN HELP US

OVERCOME ANXIOUS THOUGHTS AND

FEELINGS?

LET'S BEGIN BY ADMITTING OR

CONFESSING, HOLY SPIRIT, YOU'RE

HERE.

THE BIBLE OPENS WITH THE

PRESENCE OF THE SPIRIT,

HOVERING OVER THE WATERS BEFORE

THE EARTH WAS TURNED FROM A

RUMBLING MASS INTO THE

BEAUTIFUL CREATION.

SO, THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME TO

HOVER, TO CALM EVERYTHING,

MAYBE LIKE AN EAGLE WOULD CALM

HER NEWBORNS IN A NEST.

THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS ITS ABILITY

WHEN JESUS WAS BAPTIZED, THE

HOLY SPIRIT CAME AS A DOVE.

I CANNOT THINK OF A MORE

CALMING BIRD THAN THAT OF A

DOVE.

FIRST, ACKNOWLEDGE, HOLY

SPIRIT, YOU ARE HERE.

YOU ARE HERE IN MY LIFE.

THEN TALK TO HIM.

TELL HIM SPECIFICALLY WHAT YOU

NEED.

THE APOSTLE PAUL INSTRUCTED US

TO PRAY IN THE SPIRIT ON ALL

OCCASIONS.

SO, WE PRAY LIVING IN THE

SPIRIT, LIVING IN THE AWARENESS

OF THE SPIRIT.

MANY HAVE A HEAVENLY LANGUAGE

THROUGH WHICH THEY PRAY AND ALL

OF US, REGARDLESS OF OUR GIFTS

CAN TALK TO THE HOLY SPIRIT AT

ANY TIME.

LASTLY, THE SPACE IF IT JUST BE

SPECIFIC.

TODAY, I HAVE THIS CHALLENGE.

WOULD YOU PLEASE TAKE IT?

AND EVERYTHING, DO IT WITH

THANKSGIVING LET YOUR REQUESTS

BE MADE KNOWN TO GOD.

ABSOLUTELY.

MAX, YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT

THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HOW IT CAN

WORK IN YOUR LIFE BY GETTING A

COPY OF HIS BRAND-NEW BOOK,

WHICH I HIGHLY RECOMMEND . IT

IS CALLED HELP IS HERE AND IT

IS AVAILABLE IN STORES

NATIONWIDE.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FROM

TEXAS.

WE ARE SO GLAD YOU ARE BETTER.

THANK YOU.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN IN

PERSON SOMETIME.

> WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK WITH

SOME OF YOUR EMAIL QUESTIONS

AFTER THIS.

> WELCOME BACK.

WE HAVE YOUR EMAIL QUESTIONS.

ARE YOU READY?

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE END

TIMES.

SHE SAYS, WHAT IS ARMAGEDDON

AND IS IT REAL?

ARMAGEDDON IS THE BATTLE AT

THE VALLEY -- IS IT REAL?

YES.

YOU CAN GO TO ISRAEL AND THEY

TAKE ME TO THE VALLEY AND YOU

WILL GO.

IS THERE MUCH IN THE VALLEY?

BUT THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN THE

FINAL BATTLE FOR JERUSALEM

HAPPENS, THE ARMIES OF THE

NATIONS OF THE WORLD WILL

GATHER IN THE VALLEY OF

MEGIDDO.

THERE IS A SPECIFIC LIST OF WHO

IS GOING TO BE PART OF THAT

ARMY AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT

HAPPENS TO THEM AND HOW LONG

WILL THEIR WEAPONS BURN AND ALL

THESE THINGS ARE OUTLINED IN

THE BIBLE, BUT IF YOU SAY, IS

IT REAL, YES, IT IS CALLED THE

VALLEY OF MEGIDDO.

IT IS NOT THE BATTLE FOR

ARMAGEDDON.

I THINK THAT IS A MISNOMER.

IT IS WHERE THEY GATHERED FOR

THE BATTLE OF JERUSALEM.

IT IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL AND THE

ENEMY THINKS IF YOU CAN TAKE

JERUSALEM, YOU CAN THWART GOD'S

PLAN.

NO, YOU CANNOT THWART GOD'S

PLAN.

AMEN.

THIS IS FROM ANDREA.

HE IS ASKING, WHERE IN THE

BIBLE DOES GOD CHANGE THE

SABBATH FROM THE SEVENTH DAY TO

THE FIRST DAY?

OKAY, IT HAPPENED WHEN JESUS

ROSE FROM THE DEAD.

THAT IS WHY WE CELEBRATE ON

SUNDAY, WHY WE HAVE CHURCH

SERVICES ON SUNDAY.

IT IS TO MEMORIALIZE, TO

REMEMBER THE RESURRECTION AND

THAT IS PART OF THE EARLY

CHURCH OBSERVANCE.

YOU OPEN THE BIBLE TO THE BOOK

OF REVELATION AND THE VERY

FIRST CHAPTER.

YOU CAN HEAR THE APOSTLE JOHN,

THE ONE THAT PUT HIS HEAD ON

THE CHEST OF JESUS AT THE LAST

SUPPER, THE ONE WHO WAS VERY

DEAR TO HIM.

THEY SAY IT WAS THE LORD'S DAY

AND I WAS IN THE SPIRIT.

HE SET ASIDE THE LORD'S DAY TO

PRAY, AND THE EARLY CHURCH IS

SET ASIDE THE LORD'S DAY TO

HAVE COMMUNION, TO HAVE WHAT WE

CALL MASS.

THIS HAS BEEN PART OF CHRISTIAN

TRADITION AND HISTORY SINCE THE

VERY FIRST CENTURY.

THE APOSTLES DID IT.

IT IS OKAY FOR US TO DO IT.

AMEN.

JUDY IS ASKING, CAN A DREAM OR

A DREAM CATCHER BE EVIL?

ANYTHING CAN BE A PORTAL OF

EVIL IF YOU INVEST THAT INTO

IT.

WHEN MOSES TALKED ABOUT DEMONS

AND IDOLATRY, THERE IS NOTHING

TO THE CARVED WOOD OR TO THE

STATUE, BUT IF YOU INVEST IN

IT, WHERE YOU PRAY AND ASK FOR

DEMONS TO INHABIT IT, THEN

THERE ARE CEREMONIES AND

IDOLATROUS RELIGIONS WHERE THEY

ASK FOR AN INCARNATION INTO THE

IDLE.

ANYTHING THAT YOU DO THAT WITH

CAN ABSOLUTELY BECOME A PORTAL

TO THE DEMONIC.

IT HAS TO DO WITH WHAT YOU

BELIEVE IN.

DO NOT INVEST IN THESE THINGS

OR GIVE THEM POWER THAT THEY DO

NOT HAVE.

THE DEVIL IS A DEFEATED FOE.

HERE IS A WORD FROM MARK.

WHATEVER THINGS YOU ASK WHEN

YOU PRAY, BELIEVE YOU RECEIVE
