> TODAY.

HARD TO PLAY AGAINST

TENACIOUS.

FROM THE NHL'S COLUMBUS BLUE

JACKETS HEAD COACH BRAD LARSEN.

IT'S A HUGE RESPONSIBILITY.

I DON'T COACH OUT OF FEAR.

HIS BATTLES ON AND OFF THE

ICE.

IT WASN'T THAT I WAS

THINKING ABOUT DYING. IT WAS

WHY AM I HERE?

AND WHY HE EMBRACES THE

STRUGGLE.

OR GET OUT OF HIS WAY, AND

SEE WHERE HE WANTS TO TAKE IT.

ON TODAY'S "700 CLUB."

> WELCOME TO THE "700 CLUB."

AS GAS PRICES GO UP, PRESIDENT

BIDEN'S APPROVAL RATINGS GO

DOWN. AND NOW THE PRESIDENT IS

TAPPING INTO THE STRATEGIC OIL

RESERVE TO LOWER GAS PRICES.

PAIN AT THE PUMP IS NOT THE

ONLY ECONOMIC AGONY FACING THE

PRESIDENT. A 100% CHANCE OF A

RECESSION HAPPENING IN THE NEXT

YEAR IS NOW BEING PROJECTED.

Reporter: ON WEDNESDAY, THE

PRESIDENT TOLD AMERICANS HE

UNDERSTANDS THEIR ECONOMIC

PAIN. ESPECIALLY AT THE PUMP.

ALTHOUGH HE DID NOT USE THE

WORD RECESSION.

FAMILIES ARE HURTING. YOU'VE

HEARD ME SAY IT BEFORE, BUT I

GET IT.

Reporter: THE LATEST

BLOOMBERG PROJECTIONS SHOW A

100% CHANCE OF A RECESSION IN

THE NEXT YEAR. AND ONE OF THE

WORLD'S TOP CREDIT RATING

AGENCIES NOW SAYS THE U.S.

GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT WILL

GROW BY JUST HALF A PERCENT

NEXT YEAR. DOWN FROM EARLIER

PROJECTIONS. IN RECENT WEEKS,

GAS PRICES HAVE DROPPED WITH

THE AVERAGE GALLON COSTING

$3.85. STILL, THAT IS UP FROM

$3.35 A YEAR AGO. IT IS BAD

MATH FOR FAMILIES AND THE

PRESIDENT AS POLLS SHOW HIS

APPROVAL RATINGS GO DOWN WHEN

GAS PRICES GO UP. ON WEDNESDAY,

HE ANNOUNCED THE RELEASE OF

ANOTHER 15 MILLION BARRELS OF

OIL FROM THE U.S. STRATEGIC

RESERVE IN AN ATTEMPT TO LOWER

GAS PRICES. ALL WHILE DENYING

ANY POLITICS.

IT'S NOT POLITICALLY

MOTIVATED AT ALL. IT'S

MOTIVATED TO MAKE SURE I

CONTINUE TO PUSH ON WHAT I'VE

BEEN PUSHING ON.

Reporter: CONSERVATIVES

QUICKLY DISPUTED THAT.

THEY EXIST TO HELP THIS

COUNTRY IN AN EMERGENCY.

THE TIMING IS EXTREMELY

POLITICAL. REMEMBER, ALSO THIS

IS AN ADMINISTRATION THAT

BASICALLY BEGGED SAUDI ARABIA

TO DELAY THEIR CUTS BY ONE

MONTH. NOT TO CANCEL THEM. BUT

TO DELAY THEM BY ONE MONTH TO

GET THROUGH THE ELECTIONS.

Reporter: BIDEN BRINGS THE

OIL RESERVES TO ITS LOWEST

STOCKPILE IN ALMOST 30 YEARS.

HE PLEDGED WEDNESDAY TO RESTOCK

IT WHEN OIL PRICES DROP TO LESS

THAN $70 A BARREL. STILL IN

SOME MIXED MESSAGING, HE

SCOLDED THEM FOR HIGH GAS

PRICES.

YOU SHOULD BE USING THESE

RECORD PROFITS TO INCREASE

PRODUCTION AND REFINING.

Reporter: AMERICANS ARE

STRUGGLING AS THEY FILL UP

THEIR CARS, WATCH THEIR

RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS SHRINK AND

INTEREST RATES SOAR. IT MAY BE

PAVING THE WAY FOR A RECESSION.

I THINK IT'S UNLIKELY THAT

IT CAN BE AVOIDED. THE QUESTION

IS HOW DEEP, AND HOW LONG IT

WILL BE.

Reporter: THE PRESIDENT'S

PRESS SECRETARY STILL SAYS THAT

HE DOES NOT ANTICIPATE A

RECESSION, CITING NEW JOBS AND

LOW UNEMPLOYMENT. HEATHER

SELLS, CBN NEWS.

I HAD TO LAUGH OUT LOUD AT

THAT COMMENT THAT IT'S NOT

POLITICALLY MOTIVATED. SO CBN

NEWS FINANCIAL EDITOR DREW

BARKO JOINS US NOW. DREW, IT

SEEMS TO BE ALMOST UNANIMOUS.

I'VE NEVER HEARD OF A 100%

PREDICTION THAT THERE'S GOING

TO BE A RECESSION. WHAT'S YOUR

OUTLOOK?

WELL THAT MODEL SHOWS 100%

CHANCE OF A RECESSION. NOT ALL

ECONOMISTS ACTUALLY AGREE, BUT

A MAJORITY DO. I DON'T REALLY

PAY AS MUCH ATTENTION, GORDON

TO ECONOMISTS AS I DO WHAT THE

MARKET SAYS. THE BOND MARKET,

ESPECIALLY THE GOVERNMENT

TREASURY MARKET, THAT IS YOUR

BEST INDICATER. SO LET'S TAKE A

LOOK. NOW A YEAR AGO, HERE'S

WHERE THE TEN YEAR TREASURY

BOND HAD A RATE OF 1.65%. THE

THREE MONTH TREASURY BILL WAS

AT .05%. SO THERE WAS A BIG

SPREAD. THAT'S NORMAL. BECAUSE

NORMALLY YOU HAVE HIGH INTEREST

RATES AT THE LONG END. THE

LONGER YOU LEND OUT MONEY, YOU

EXPECT A BIGGER RETURN. FOR

JUST A SHORT TERM, YOU EXPECT A

SMALLER RETURN. THAT'S THE SIGN

OF A HEALTHY ECONOMY. THAT'S

WHERE WE WERE A YEAR AGO. LET'S

LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE TODAY,

THIS MORNING. IT LOOKS VERY,

VERY DIFFERENT. RIGHT NOW THE

TEN YEAR TREASURY BOND HAS

JUMPED UP TO 4%. 4.1. THE THREE

MONTH TREASURY BILL HAS GONE

FROM 3.75 TO 4.05 IN NO SMALL

PART BECAUSE THE FEDERAL

RESERVE IS PUSHING UP INTEREST

RATES TO FIGHT INFLATION. WHEN

YOU SEE THE THREE MONTH

TREASURY BILL GO ABOVE THE 10

YEAR TREASURY, OR THE 20 YEAR

TREASURY, THAT'S WHAT'S CALLED

AN INVERTED CURVE. ALL IT

REALLY MEANS IS THE ECONOMY IS

NOT HEALTHY. ANYTIME THAT HAS

HAPPENED IN THE LAST 60 YEARS,

GORDON, EVERY TIME, THAT HAS

MEANT A RECESSION. WE'RE NOT

QUITE THERE, BUT THE FEDERAL

RESERVE IS PUSHING INTEREST

RATES HIGHER. SO WE'RE ALMOST

CERTAIN TO GET THERE. THE

MARKET IS TELLING US AT LEAST A

SLOW DOWN IS COMING. PROBABLY A

RECESSION.

THE FED IS SLAMMING ON THE

BRAKES. I'M EXPECTING ANOTHER

THREE QUARTER PERCENT INCREASE

AT THE VERY NEXT FED MEETING.

SO IS THIS LITERALLY DAYS AWAY

THAT WE'LL SEE THAT CURVE

INVERT?

YEAH, IT COULD HAPPEN TODAY.

IT COULD HAPPEN VERY SOON.

THERE'S A LOT OF CONCERN THAT

SOME ECONOMISTS ARE EVEN

CONCERNED THAT THE ECONOMY WILL

REBOUND, AND THEN THE FED WILL

PUSH US INTO THE RECESSION

EVERYBODY IS EXPECTING. SO IT'S

KIND OF COMICAL, BECAUSE IT

USED TO BE THAT ONLY GEEKS LIKE

MYSELF PAID ATTENTION TO THE

CURVE. NOW IT'S OUT IN THE

GENERAL MEDIA. BUT YEAH,

EVERYONE IS WATCHING IT. IT'S

PRETTY WIDESPREAD THAT WE'RE

GOING TO HAVE THAT SIGNAL. IT'S

USUALLY ABOUT A YEAR, GORDON,

FROM THE TIME IT INVERTS TO THE

TIME THE RECESSION ARRIVES.

ANYONE WITH A RETIREMENT

ACCOUNT, AN IRA, OR ROTH, OR

401K IS ACTUALLY PAYING A LOT

OF ATTENTION TO THIS. I'VE BEEN

THROUGH SO MANY CRASHES,

WHETHER IT WAS THE DOT-COM

BUBBLE OR THE 2008, TO GO

THROUGH ANOTHER ONE, NOW

RETIREMENT FUNDS SAY NO, YOU

CAN'T AFFORD THIS. SO FOR THE

AVERAGE INVESTOR, SHOULD YOU

SWITCH INTO THE SHORT TERM

TREASURIES RIGHT NOW AND WAIT

OUT THE STORM? AT LEAST YOU'RE

GOING TO BE MAKING 4% ON YOUR

MONEY, AS OPPOSED TO LOSING IN

A LONG TERM STOCK VALUATION?

WELL, EVERYBODY'S FINANCIAL

SITUATION IS DIFFERENT. IF YOU

WANT TO PARK YOUR MONEY IN

WHATEVER PLACE YOU CHOOSE FOR A

WHILE, THAT'S NOT THE WORST

THING. BUT I MEAN, IF YOU'VE

BEEN IN STOCKS ALL THIS TIME,

YOU'VE ALREADY LOST A LOT OF

MONEY. A LOT OF SMART PEOPLE,

THEY'RE LOOKING AT SOME OF

THESE BARGAINS IN THE STOCK

MARKET NOW. SOME STOCKS HAVE

ACTUALLY HELD UP VERY WELL.

WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON HERE IS

WE'RE JUST, IT'S JUST THE

WORKING OUT OF THE AFTERMATH OF

THE COVID LOCKDOWNS, OKAY?

BECAUSE WE HAVE THE WORST

SITUATION IN THE WORLD. A

WEAKENING ECONOMY, HIGH

INFLATION, STAG NATION,

STAGFLATION. UNCERTAINTY.

THAT'S THE ONE THING THE STOCK

MARKET HATES. BUT ONCE WE GET

THROUGH THIS, AND IT MAY NOT BE

UNTIL 2024. NOBODY KNOWS HOW

HIGH RATES ARE GOING TO PEAK.

NOBODY KNOWS HOW BAD THIS

RECESSION WILL BE. BUT ONCE WE

GET THROUGH THIS IN THE SECOND

HALF OF THIS DECADE, STOCKS ARE

GOING TO BE EXTREMELY STRONG.

SO LIKE I SAID, EVERYBODY'S

INDIVIDUAL SITUATION IS

DIFFERENT. RIGHT NOW THE DOW

CLOSED, ACTUALLY, THAT WAS FROM

EARLIER THIS SUMMER, 33,000.

STILL OVER 30,000. BUT RIGHT

NOW, THE DOW IS OVER 30,000. I

THINK BY THE END OF THE DECADE,

OR WITHIN A DECADE, IT'S GOING

TO BE OVER 100,000. I THINK THE

SECOND HALF OF THIS DECADE WILL

BE EXTREMELY STRONG.

THAT IS A VERY BOLD CHOICE.

SO HOLD ON UNTIL 2024, AND THEN

IT'S PEDAL TO THE METAL UNTIL

THE END OF THE DECADE.

I WILL TELL YOU, EVERYBODY

TALKS ABOUT THE ROARING 20s,

THAT'S HOW WE REMEMBER THE

1920s. THE 1920s DIDN'T

ACTUALLY BEGIN UNTIL 1924, THE

FIRST PART OF THE DECADE WAS

PRETTY BAD. WE HAD THE SPANISH

FLU AND WORLD WAR I. THEN A

SLOWER PERIOD IN THE EARLY 20s,

AGAINING IN 1924, AND '25, THE

MARKET JUST EXPLODED. I THINK

WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE SAME

THING THIS TIME. WE'LL HAVE A

BAD BEAR MARKET AT THE END OF

IT, BUT THAT'S NORMAL, BUT WE

WILL HAVE A VERY, VERY STRONG

STOCK MARKET IN THE YEARS

AHEAD.

ALL RIGHT, IF YOU CAN HOLD

ON. IN THE MEANTIME, WE ALL

HAVE TO PAY A WHOLE LOT MORE

FOR THE GROCERIES AND THE FUEL

AND THE WINTER HEATING BILLS.

SO DREW, THANKS FOR YOUR

ANALYSIS, AND THANKS FOR

JOINING WITH US.

YOU BET.

> IN OTHER NEWS, RUSSIA IS

USING ITS IRANIAN MADE DRONES

TO WIPE OUT CRITICAL

INFRASTRUCTURE IN UKRAINE. SO

FAR, MORE THAN 30% OF THE

COUNTRY'S POWER STATIONS HAVE

BEEN DESTROYED. THAT MEANS THE

UKRAINIAN PEOPLE ARE FACING A

LONG, COLD WINTER WITH NO POWER

TO HEAT THEIR HOMES. CHUCK

HOLTEN IS ON THE GROUND IN

UKRAINE WITH THE STORY.

Reporter: RUSSIA HAS A NEW

YOU STRATEGY IN ITS 8 MONTH WAR

IN UKRAINE. A PLAN TO FREEZE

THE POPULATION TO DEATH OVER

THE WINTER.

A CLEAR AIM TO CUT OFF MEN,

WOMEN, CHILDREN OF WATER,

ELECTRICITY, AND HEATING. WITH

THE WINTER COMING, THESE ARE

ACTS OF PURE TERROR.

Reporter: SMALL SUPPLIES OF

PURE DRONES FROM IRAN ARE

WRECKING HAVOC, TARGETING

POWER, HEAT, AND GAS

FACILITIES. IN JUST OVER A

WEEK, THE ATTACKS HAVE LEFT A

THOUSAND VILLAGES WITHOUT

POWER, AND DESTROYED A THIRD OF

ALL POWER GENERATION

FACILITIES. PROTESTERS ARE

DEMANDING IRAN STOP SELLING

DEADLY DRONES TO RUSSIA.

ALTHOUGH IRAN OFFICIALLY

CONDEMNS RUSSIA'S AGGRESSION

HERE, THE STATE DEPARTMENT SAY

IT'S THERE'S AMPLE PROOF IT'S

BEEN SELLING THESE DRONES TO

RUSSIA.

WE'VE HAD A WARNING SINCE

JULY, IRAN WAS THREATENING TO

SELL DRONES TO RUSSIA. STRICTLY

SEEN AS A PROFOUND THREAT AND

SOMETHING ANY COUNTRY SHOULD

PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO.

AND ANYONE DOING BUSINESS WITH

IRAN THAT COULD HAVE ANY LINK

TO UAV'S, OR THE ARMS FROM IRAN

TO RUSSIA SHOULD BE VERY

CAREFUL. THE U.S. WILL NOT

HESITATE TO USE SANCTIONS OR

TAKE ACTIONS AGAINST

PERPETRATORS.

Reporter: THE PENTAGON IS

PLEDGING TO HELP UKRAINE

COUNTER THESE ATTACKS.

WHY WE THINK THEY'RE

TARGETING THOSE AREAS, I THINK

OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO INFLICT

PAIN ON THE CIVILIAN SOCIETY AS

WELL AS TRY TO HAVE AN IMPACT

ON UKRAINIAN FORCES. BUT WHAT

WE'VE SEEN SO FAR IS UKRAINE BE

VERY RESILIENT IN THEIR ABILITY

TO GET THINGS LIKE POWER GRIDS

BACK ONLINE QUICKLY. IN THE

MEANTIME, OUR FOCUS WILL

CONTINUE TO BE ON WORKING WITH

THEM, IDENTIFY WHAT THEIR NEEDS

ARE, TO INCLUDE THINGS LIKE AIR

DEFENSE, AND WE'LL WORK TO TRY

TO GET THOSE CAPABILITIES TO

THEM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

HERE IN KYIV, AUTHORITIES

ARE DIMMING STREETLIGHTS AND

ASKING US TO LIMIT OUR

ELECTRICAL CONSUMPTION IN THE

MORNING, AND WARNING THERE MAY

BE EVEN BLACKOUTS COMING. BUT

WE'RE DOING MUCH BETTER HERE

THAN SOME OF THE VILLAGES

WITHOUT POWER ALREADY. MOST

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO

JUST CAMPING IN WHAT'S LEFT OF

THEIR HOMES.

OUR WINDOWS WERE DAMAGED.

NOW WE'RE ONLY EATING HERE. BUT

SLEEPING IN THE NEXT APARTMENT

BECAUSE THEIR WINDOWS ARE NOT

DAMAGED, SO IT'S WARMER.

STILL, THESE RESIDENTS ARE

CONVINCED THEY'D RATHER LIVE

WITHOUT MODERN CONVENIENCES

THAN GIVE THEIR COUNTRY.

I'M NOT SCARED OF THE COLD,

BECAUSE I CAN FIND WOOD. HEAT

THE STOVE.

IT'S REALLY COLD.

Reporter: FROM UKRAINE, I'M

CHUCK HOLTEN FOR CBN NEWS.

WE STAND WITH THE PEOPLE OF

UKRAINE. THIS IS A WAR OF

TERROR. IT'S TRYING TO INFLICT

PAIN ON THE CIVILIAN

POPULATION. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY

SENSE IF YOU'RE SAYING WELL,

WE'RE TRYING TO ESTABLISH

GREATER RUSSIA AND UKRAINIANS

ARE ALL RUSSIANS, AND THEY

SHOULD JUST RECOGNIZE THAT, AND

COME BACK TO THE MOTHERLAND.

YOU'RE GOING TO CREATE INTENSE

HATRED THAT WILL EXIST FOR

GENERATIONS TO COME. IT'S A

SHORT TERM TACTIC WITH SOME

VERY LONG TERM REPERCUSSIONS. I

HOPE AND I PRAY THAT THERE'S A

LEADERSHIP CHANGE. THAT THEY

CHANGE THEIR MINDS AND SAY THIS

IS MADNESS. LET'S STOP DOING

THIS.

> WELL STILL AHEAD, AN

EXCRUCIATING ACHE AND SWELLING

IN HER RIGHT KNEE PUT THIS

PREGNANT WOMAN IN INTENSE PAIN.

THE DOCTOR SAID THE PAIN WOULD

STOP WHEN SHE GAVE BIRTH. WATCH

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE PAIN

REMAINS. THAT'S COMING UP.

> THEN ALSO AHEAD, AUTHOR AND

TALK SHOW HOST, ERIC METAXAS.

HEAR WHY HE'S CALLING OUT THE

AMERICAN CHURCH AND WHY HIS

SHOW WAS CANCELED ON YOUTUBE.

RIGHT AFTER THIS.

> SILENCE FROM THE CHURCH.

THAT'S WHAT ERIC METAXAS

BELIEVES IS ENABLING AMERICA TO

SLIDE INTO A FASCIST STATE. THE

AUTHOR AND TALK SHOW HOST SEES

SIMILARITIES BETWEEN WHAT'S

HAPPENING IN OUR NATION NOW TO

WHAT TOOK PLACE IN PRE-NAZI

GERMANY. IN HIS LATEST BOOK, HE

CALLS ON THE CHURCH TO TAKE

ACTION BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

GARY LANE SPOKE WITH HIM ABOUT

HIS LETTER TO THE AMERICAN

CHURCH.

Reporter: AUTHOR RADIO TALK

SHOW HOST ERIC METAXAS WARNS

THAT AMERICA IS FASTLY

APPROACHING A CULTURAL TIPPING

POINT. ALTHOUGH HE WRITES, IT'S

NOT TOO LATE TO REVERSE COURSE.

IN HIS NEW LETTER TO THE

AMERICAN CHURCH, METAXAS WRITES

ABOUT PARALLELS TO PRE-WORLD

WAR II GERMANY.

IT IS THE SILENCE OF THE

AMERICAN CHURCH ON A HOST OF

ISSUES TODAY THAT MANY PEOPLE

SAY, THAT'S NOT A GOSPEL

RELATED ISSUE. I DON'T WANT TO

BE DIVISIVE. I DON'T WANT TO BE

POLITICAL. IT'S THAT SILENCE

WHICH DIRECTLY PARALLELS THE

SILENCE OF GERMAN CHRISTIANS IN

THE EARLY '30s AND IT LED TO

THE SATANIC EVIL OF THE NAZI

TAKEOVER OF THAT CULTURE, WHERE

THEY CRUSHED THE CHURCH.

Reporter: METAXAS BELIEVES

IF ONLY A FEW THOUSAND MORE

PROTESTANT PASTORS SPOKE OUT,

THE NAZIS WOULD NOT HAVE

SUCCEEDED.

THIS WAS NOT BIBLICAL. THIS

WAS NOT WHAT GOD WAS CALLING

THEM TO DO. BUT THE CHURCH

HESITATED ENOUGH, AND KEPT

SILENT ENOUGH FOR LONG ENOUGH

FOR THE NAZIS TO UTTERLY TAKE

OVER AND REALLY DO THINGS SO

EVIL THAT WE LOOK BACK, WE

THINK WELL THAT COULD NEVER

HAPPEN AGAIN. WHAT I'M SAYING

IN THIS BOOK IS EXACTLY THE

SAME THING IS HAPPENING AGAIN

TODAY BECAUSE OF THE SILENCE OF

THE AMERICAN CHURCH.

Reporter: METAXAS WRITES

THAT TODAY, CULTURAL MARXISM IS

INFILTRATING AMERICAN SOCIETY.

IT IS ADVANCING LEFTIST IDEAS

LIKE TRANSGENDERS IN SCHOOLS.

NEARLY 200 YEARS AGO, CHRISTIAN

ABOLITIONIST WILLIAM

WILBURFORST FOUGHT TO END

SLAVERY.

HE KNEW IT WAS SATANIC, AND

HE WAS POLITICAL SAYING WE'VE

GOT TO DO WHAT WE CAN, BECAUSE

WE'RE CHRISTIANS. WHEN PEOPLE

SAY, YOU'RE BEING POLITICAL. HE

WOULD SAY NO, I'M SIMPLY DOING

WHAT GOD IS COMMANDING ME TO

DO. THE AFRICAN SLAVES DON'T

HAVE VOICES. IF I DON'T SPEAK

FOR THE UNBORN TODAY, GOD WILL

JUDGE ME. IF I DON'T SPOKE

AGAINST SOCIALISM, AND

MARXISM, AND THE TOTALITARIANS

COMING IN AMERICA, WHICH IS THE

CHINESE THINKING, COMING INTO

AMERICA, THE FACT IS THEY WERE

BOTH TOLD BE QUIET. JUST KEEP

YOUR FAITH PRIVATE. JUST PREACH

THE GOSPEL AND STICK TO GOSPEL

RELATED ISSUES.

Reporter: METAXAS BELIEVES

SPEAKING UP IS NOT ENOUGH. HE

ENCOURAGES CHRISTIANS TO

RESPOND BY FOLLOWING

WILBURFORCE'S EXAMPLE.

YOU STAY WE NEED TO STEP OUT

OF THE BOAT, MIRACULOUSLY WALK

ON WATER OR DROWN. DO WE NEED

TO ATTEND SCHOOL BOARD

MEETINGS? RUN FOR OFFICE?

WE JUST HAVE TO ASK GOD,

LORD, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE ME TO

DO? BUT DO SOMETHING. DO

ANYTHINGYOU CAN DO. YES, WE

SHOULD BE RUNNING FOR SCHOOL

BOARD MEETINGS. YES, WE SHOULD

TAKING OUR KIDS OUT OF PUBLIC

SCHOOL, AND HOME SCHOOLING

THEM. YES, WE SHOULD BE WRITING

SELF-SACRIFICIAL CHECKS TO

THOSE BEING WIPED OUT OF STATE.

THIS IS AMERICA. PEOPLE HAVE

DIED SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT

ANYTHING FREELY. BUT A CHILL

HAS FALLEN OVER THIS COUNTRY,

AND THE CHURCH HAS BEEN SILENT.

THERE ARE VOICES IN THE CHURCH

ADVOCATING SILENCE. ADVOCATING

THAT WE JUST DON'T BE

POLITICAL.

Reporter: METAXAS SAYS LIKE

MEAN OTHERS, AMERICAN

CHRISTIANS FEAR OFFENDING

PEOPLE, AND BEING CANCELED BY

THE PREVAILING CULTURE. HE

URGES AMERICAN CHRISTIANS TO

TAKE COURAGE, AND RESPOND

BOLDLY BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

GOLD WILL NOT HOLD US

GUILTLESS. GOD WILL JUDGE US

FOR OUR SILENCE, BECAUSE OUR

SILENCE IS WRONG. GOD CALLS US

TO THE BATTLE, AND IF THE

CHURCH WILL UNDERSTAND THIS,

AND WILL SPEAK, WE WILL AVOID

THE HORROR THAT BEFELL GERMANY.

BUT IF WE CONTINUE IN THIS,

EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED THERE

WILL HAPPEN HERE. TIME IS VERY,

VERY SHORT.

GARY LANE, CBN NEWS.

> THERE'S ANOTHER LESSON FROM

NAZI GERMANY, AND THAT IS THERE

WILL BE TWO EXTREMES. WHAT

HAPPENED IN GERMANY WAS A

REACTION TO THE COMMUNIST

TAKEOVER OF RUSSIA IN 1917. YOU

HAVE THIS WHOLE DECADE OF

SLAUGHTER HAPPENING TO CHURCHES

IN RUSSIA, WHERE PRIESTS WERE

MURDERED ON A REGULAR BASIS.

CHRISTIANS WERE IMPRISONED.

CHURCHES WERE WIPED OFF THE

MAP. AND IN THAT, THERE ROSE A

CHARISMATIC LEADER IN GERMANY

WHO ASSURED THE CHURCH, WELL,

I'LL STAND WITH YOU, AND I'LL

STAND AGAINST THE COMMUNISTS.

NATIONAL SOCIALISM WAS A

POLITICAL MOVEMENT IN REACTION

TO COMMUNISM. HITLER PROMISED

THAT HE WOULDN'T ALLOW

COMMUNISM IN GERMANY. AND IN

THAT, HE SAID I'LL BE THE

SAVIOR. I WILL SAVE YOU FROM

ALL OF THESE FORCES THAT ARE

COMING ACROSS THE BORDER FROM

RUSSIA. THIS IS SOMETHING WE AS

CHRISTIANS NEED TO BE AWARE OF.

HE MADE PROMISES TO THE CHURCH

IN 1933. HE GOT THE CHURCH TO

SUPPORT HIM POLITICALLY, AND

THEN BY 1942, HE MADE IT

ILLEGAL TO PREACH FROM THE

BIBLE. THAT YOU HAD TO BE A

NATIONAL SOCIALIST, PREACHING

FROM MINCOMP. LET US LEARN THE

LESSONS FROM HISTORY. THERE IS

A LESSON WHEN THERE IS A STRONG

REACTION FROM THE LEFT, THERE

CAN BE AN EQUALLY BAD REACTION

FROM THE RIGHT. AS CHRISTIANS

WE NEED TO STAND FIRM TO SAY

NO, THERE IS NO KING, BUT

JESUS. OUR SOURCE IS ALWAYS

GOD. OUR HELP ALWAYS COMES FROM

HEAVEN. IT WILL NOT COME FROM

POLITICAL MEANS. WE NEED TO BE

A RIGHTEOUS NATION. WE NEED THE

BLESSING OF GOD HERE IN

AMERICA. THAT ALSO MEANS WE

NEED TO TAKE STANDS AGAINST

INJUSTICE. WE NEED TO LOVE

@HUMBLY BEFORE THE LORD, OUR

GOD. WHEN WE SEE RACISM, WE

NEED TO STAND UP AND SAY NO,

THIS IS WRONG. WHEN WE SEE

OPPRESSION, WE NEED TO STAND UP

AND SAY, NO, THIS IS WRONG. WE

NEED TO BE THE CONSCIOUS OF OUR

CULTURE. IN THAT, WE'LL FIND

THE WAY FORWARD. WELL HIS BOOK

IS CALLED THE LETTER TO THE

AMERICAN CHURCH. YOU CAN FIND

IT WHEREVER BOOKS ARE SOLD. I

THINK IT'S JUST TIME TO PRAY

FOR AMERICA. THERE'S A GREAT

PROMISE IN ISAIAH 54 AS WE LOOK

AT ALL THE TURMOIL IN OUR

SCHOOLS TODAY, WHAT IS BEING

TAUGHT AND IT'S NO LONGER

READING, WRITING, AND

ARITHMETIC. THERE'S AN

IDEALLOGICAL INSTRUCTION

HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME.

THIS IS A GREAT PROMISE THAT I

THINK ALL PEOPLE OF FAITH CAN

TAKE, AND SAY YES. LET'S STAND

ON THIS PROMISE. LET'S ASK GOD

ALMIGHTY FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF

THIS. IT'S FROM ISAIAH 54. ALL

THY CHILDREN SHOULD BE CAUGHT

OF THE LORD, AND GREAT SHALL BE

THE PIECE OF THY CHILDREN. IN

RIGHTEOUSNESS shall thou be

ESTABLISHED. THOU SHALL NOT

FEAR, AND FROM TERROR, FOR IT

SHALL NOT COME NEAR ME. THESE

ARE PROMISES THAT WE DON'T

HAVE TO FEAR TERRORISM. WE

DON'T HAVE TO FEAR PLAGUES. GOD

WILL BE WITH YOU, AND FOR US.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, OUR

CHILDREN WILL BE TAUGHT OF THE

LORD. WE DON'T HAVE TO DEPEND

ON SCHOOLS WE DON'T HAVE TO

DEPEND ON THE GOVERNMENT. WE

DON'T HAVE TO DEPEND ON ANY OF

THAT. WE SAY GOD, WILL YOU

TEACH OUR CHILDREN? LET'S STAND

ON THESE PROMISES. LET'S ASK

HIM NOW TO DO THIS FOR OUR

NATION. IF YOU'RE NOT IN

AMERICA, YOU'RE LISTENING IN

ANOTHER COUNTRY, PRAY FOR YOUR

COUNTRY AS WELL. THESE PROMISES

ARE FOR YOU. ALL THE PROMISES

OF GOD ARE YES, AND AMEN, FOR

THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS.

LET US PRAY. LET US HAVE THIS

SPANNER THE ENTIRE GLOBE THAT

OUR CHILDREN WILL BE TAUGHT OF

THE LORD. LET'S PRAY. LORD, WE

COME TO YOU AND WE JUST CONFESS

THAT WE'RE NOT RIGHTEOUS. WE'VE

TURNED FROM YOU. AND YOUR

PROMISES IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, YOU

WILL BE ESTABLISHED. SO LORD,

GOD, ALMIGHTY, GIVE US YOUR

RIGHTEOUSNESS. CHANGE OUR

HEARTS. RIGHT YOUR COMMANDMENTS

ON OUR HEARTS SO THAT WE WOULD

BE OBEDIENT TO YOU. AND WE

WOULD PROSPER IN YOUR

RIGHTEOUSNESS. AND NOW WE CLAIM

THAT WONDERFUL PROMISE THAT OUR

CHILDREN WILL BE TAUGHT OF YOU.

SO WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD DO

THAT FOR US. YOU WOULD TEACH

OUR CHILDREN THE RIGHT WAY TO

GO. THE RIGHT WAY TO BE

OBEDIENT. THE RIGHT WAY TO

ACHIEVE PEACE, PROSPERITY,

EQUALITY, FOR EVERYONE IN OUR

CULTURE. EVERYONE IN OUR

NATION. LORD, TEACH OUR

CHILDREN. AND MAY THEIR PEACE

BE SO GREAT IT WILL BE AN

AMAZEMENT TO THE ENTIRE WORLD.

LORD, WE'RE DIVIDED NOW. LET

THE GENERATION THAT FOLLOWS US,

LET FOR GENERATIONS TO COME,

LET THEIR PEACE BE GREAT, AND

MAY THEY BE TAUGHT OF YOU, SO

THAT THE PRINCE OF PEACE IS

ALWAYS FIRST IN OUR CULTURE. BE

WITH US NOW, LORD. FOR WE ASK

IT IN JESUS' NAME. AMEN. IF YOU

> HE HAD ZERO FAITH. TODAY,

HE LIVES BY IT. COACHING WITH

LOVE, CARE, AND TRUST. FIND OUT

WHAT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE OF

THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS' BRAD

LARSEN. THAT'S RIGHT AFTER

THIS.

> LOVE, CARE, AND TRUST.

THOSE WERE THE WORDS THAT CAME

TO BRAD LARSEN'S MIND, WHEN HE

INTERVIEWED FOR HEAD COACH OF

THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS, AND

HE PUTS THEM INTO PRACTICE

EVERY DAY, COACHING HIS NHL

TEAM. BRAD IS AN ULTRA

COMPETITOR. HE'S ALSO A MAN OF

STRONG CHRISTIAN FAITH.

Reporter: THE COLUMBUS BLUE

JACKETS BRAD LARSEN IS ONE OF

JUST 32 NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE

COACHES IN THE WORLD.

HAVING OUR HUMANITY, BE

STRONG, COURAGEOUS, JUST BE

@IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.

Reporter: THE COACH AND TWO

TIME CANCER SURVIVOR HAS DONE.

EXEMPLIFYING A RARE BLUE PRINT

FOR THE BLUE JACKETS.

JOSHUA 1:9. TO ME, IT

REPRESENTS BEING BOLD AND YOU

HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR. HE'S WITH

YOU ALWAYS. AS I STARTED THOSE

COACHING MOMENTS, YOU GET

HIGHER UP. IS IT STRESSFUL?

IT'S NOT, BECAUSE I'M DOING IT

PERFECT.

Reporter: BRAD, HOW DID IT

MOVE FROM SIMPLY READING

SCRIPTURE TO WHERE IT'S

EMBEDDED INTO WHO YOU ARE?

MORNING TIME IS MY TIME. AND

I BRING MY DOG TO WORK WITH ME.

SHE CURLS UP ON THE COUCH, AND

I HAVE MY QUIET TIME WITH THE

COFFEE. TO DO A JOB THAT I'M

DEEPLY PASSIONATE ABOUT. I DO

BELIEVE GOD HAS PLACED ME HERE

FOR A REASON. MY FAMILY TIME IS

VERY IMPORTANT. MY WIFE NEEDS A

HUSBAND, AND MY CHILDREN NEED A

FATHER. SO QUIETNESS IS WHEN I

CONNECT THE GREATEST. JUST

READING THE WORD, AND GETTING

INTO SCRIPTURE IS IMPORTANT FOR

ME..

HE'S STRONG WILLED. HONEST.

PLAYERS LOVE HONESTY. AND THEN

HE HAS A GREAT DEAL OF

COMPASSION TO GO WITH IT.

BRAD'S ALWAYS THERE FOR

EVERYBODY.

Reporter: BLUE JACKETS

HOCKEY. WHAT IS THEIR IDENTITY?

WHEN I GET INTERVIEWED FOR

THE JOB, THE THREE WORDS THAT

WERE PUT ON MY HEART, WERE

LOVE, CARE, AND TRUST. I WAS

TOLD BY A GOOD FRIEND, YOU'RE

PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE DOING

THAT. BUT THAT'S WHAT I BELIEVE

IN. YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR A LOT

OF WORDS OF INTEGRITY, AND

HUMILITY. NOT WORDS THAT MAYBE

YOU HEAR A LOT. IT'S UNDER SO

MANY LAYERS TO HUMILITY, AND

ABOUT BEING SELFLESS, AND TEAM

FIRST ATTITUDE, AND JUST LIFE

IN GENERAL. ON THE HOCKEY SIDE

OF IT, I WANT US TO BE A VERY

RELENTLESS COMPETITIVE TEAM.

HARD TO PLAY AGAINST.

TENACIOUS. BUT I WANT THEM TO

DO THAT, BECAUSE THEY'VE

EMBRACED EACH OTHER. YOU SEE IT

AND FEEL IT, AND THAT TAKES

TRUST. PATIENCE TAKES TIME.

Reporter: WHAT IS IT ABOUT

CREATING A TEAM CULTURE THAT IS

MOST NECESSARY HE?

HUMILITY IS A WORD THAT

KEEPS COMING BACK. HUMILITY

MEANS IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU. IN

THIS WORLD, IT'S REALLY HARD TO

TAKE THE FOCUS OFF YOURSELF.

YOU HAVE THE SOCIAL MEDIA

WORLD. GOT TO BE REALLY CAREFUL

ABOUT THAT. WHO'S FEEDING YOU?

THERE'S A LOT GETTING THROWN AT

THEM, INDIVIDUAL RESULTS, I

NEED THEM BECAUSE GUYS BRING

CERTAIN SKILLS. BUT IT'S ALWAYS

ABOUT THE TEAM.

Reporter: WHO'S OPINION

MATTERS MOST?

MAY 22nd, 2011, I GAVE

MYSELF TO THE LORD. IT CHANGES

YOUR LIFE. FOR 30 PLUS YEARS OF

MY LIFE, I HAD ZERO FAITH, AND

I DIDN'T KNOW WHO THAT GOD WAS,

AND WHAT THAT LOOKED LIKE. SO

YOU BUILD YOUR WHOLE LIFE OF

THIS, ALMOST A FACADE OF WHO

YOU ARE, WHAT YOU WANT TO

REPRESENT, AND I'M NOT THAT

MAN. I DON'T WANT TO BE THAT

MAN ANYMORE. SO CHANGE IS

REQUIRED. TO CHANGE, YOU HAVE

TO CHANGE.

Reporter: YOU VIEWED THIS

GAME FOR A LONG TIME, AS A FAN,

AS AN ASSISTANT COACH, AS A

PLAYER, BUT NOW YOU'RE THE HEAD

COACH. HOW DOES THAT VIEW LOOK

DIFFERENT?

ONCE YOU BECOME THE HEAD

COACH, YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT

EVERYBODY. IT'S A HUGE

RESPONSIBILITY, AND ONE THAT I

NEVER TAKE LIGHTLY. I LOVE IT.

I LOVE JUST TRYING TO HELP

PEOPLE, AND NOT JUST IN THE

GAME, BUT AWAY FROM THE

RANKING. I'M ULTRA COMPETITOR,

AND I WANT TO WIN EVERY GAME,

AND I UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS

I'M IN. IT'S WINS AND LOSSES.

AND THAT'S HOW WE'RE JUDGED AND

EMBRACED TO STRUGGLE. I COME

BACK TO JOHN 30, WHERE YOU MUST

BECOME GREATER AND GREATER AND

I'LL BECOME LESS AND LESS. I'LL

GET OUT OF THE WAY AND SEE

WHERE HE WANTS TO TAKE IT.

Reporter: YOU

SELF-ACKNOWLEDGED AS THE ULTRA

COMPETITOR. JESUS CHRIST, IS HE

A COMPETITOR?

OH, YEAH.

Reporter: HOW?

HE'S LIKE THE ULTIMATE

WARRIOR. WHEN I UNDERSTAND WHAT

JESUS GAVE UP, WHAT HE WENT

THROUGH, THERE IS NOBODY

TOUGHER THAN JESUS AT ANYTIME

HE COULD HAVE BROUGHT IN THE

CALVARY, AND MADE IT GO AWAY,

BUT HE DIDN'T. IT'S INCREDIBLE

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE

PURPOSE THAT JESUS CAME AND DID

IT FOR. WHEN YOU SEE THAT KIND

OF LOVE AND GRACE, THAT GRABS

YOUR ATTENTION.

Reporter: YOU'RE A TWO TIME

CANCER SURVIVOR OVER THE SPAN

OF THREE YEARS. WHAT DID THAT

DRAW OUT OF YOU?

I WASN'T A BELIEVER THEN. I

HAD AN ATHLETE'S MENTALITY WHEN

I FOUND OUT I WAS STAGE 2,

ALMOST STAGE 3 MELANOMA. WE

WERE VERY FORTUNATE. A YEAR

AND A HALF LATER, I HAD

TESTICULAR CANCER GOING INTO

THE PLAYOFF. WE CAUGHT IT

EARLY. IT WASN'T THAT I WAS

THINKING ABOUT DYING. IT WAS

WHY AM I HERE, AND UNDERSTAND

IT'S NOT BUT.

Reporter: YOU REACHED A

PLACE, URGENCY, DESPERATION,

GREAT VULNERABILITY. HOW DID

YOU CONFRONT UNCERTAINTY?

WELL CONFRONTING IT, IT CAME

DOWN TO SURRENDER IT. I CAN SAY

THIS WITH TOTAL CONVICTION,

THAT I DON'T LIVE IN FEAR. I

DON'T COACH OUT OF FEAR. IT'S

PROVERBS 69 THAT SAYS I CAN

MAKE MY PLANS, BUT GOD

DETERMINES THE STEPS. YOU START

TO EMBRACE AND UNDERSTAND THAT

OUR TIME HERE IS SHORT. THEN

GOING BACK TO WHAT I WAS

TALKING ABOUT. PURPOSE. YEAH, I

WANT TO WIN THE STANLEY CUP.

BUT I THINK THERE'S A MUCH

BIGGER RESPONSIBILITY TO TRY TO

IMPACT PEOPLE IN A POSITIVE

WAY.

BRAD HAD A LOT TO SAY. I'D

LIKE TO WATCH THAT AGAIN, AND

JUST KIND OF PULL IT ALL APART.

BECAUSE WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND WHO

JESUS IS, WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND

THE PRICE HE WILLINGLY PAID,

THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH HE CAME,

THE LOVE THAT HE HAS FOR YOU

AND FOR ME, EVERYTHING CHANGES.

EVERYTHING. AND SO THAT TRUTH

BECOMES A MOTIVATOR FOR HOW WE

LIVE, FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE, AND

HE HAD SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT

SURRENDER. LETTING OUR LIVES

BELONG TO THE KING OF KINGS,

AND THE LORD OF LORDS WHO CAME

TO LOVE, TO LOVE, TO FORGIVE,

AND TO OPEN THE DOOR TO

ETERNITY FOR THOSE WHO WOULD

SAY YES. I HOPE YOU'RE ONE OF

THOSE PEOPLE. YOU KNOW, IN OUR

WORLD TODAY, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING

WITH THEIR IDENTITY. WHO AM I?

WHAT AM I HERE FOR? AND WHO IS

JESUS? WHAT IS FAITH? WE'D LIKE

TO SEND THIS RESOURCE TO YOU.

IT'S CALLED YOUR IDENTITY IN

CHRIST. GOD'S POWER IN YOUR

LIFE. SOMETIMES YOU CAN EVEN GO

THROUGH THE PACES AS A BELIEVER

AND THEN YOU GET TO THE PLACE

WHERE YOU ASK THESE QUESTIONS.

WE HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU GET

YOU TO THE WORD, AND GET YOU TO

TRUTH. BUT TODAY, IT'S YOURS.

IT'S FREE, AND YOU CAN GET IT

BY CALLING OUR TOLL FREE

NUMBER. IT'S ON YOUR SCREEN

RIGHT THERE. 1-800-700-7000.

JUST CALL AND SAY, I'D LIKE THE

IDENTITY IN CHRIST RESOURCE

SHEET. WE'LL GET IT OUT TO YOU

RIGHT AWAY.

> STILL AHEAD, UNBEARABLE

KNEE PAIN. THIS WOMAN WAS

UNABLE TO EXERCISE OR EVEN DO

SIMPLE TASKS FOR TWO YEARS. SEE

THEN WE'LL BE PRAYING FOR YOU.

STAY WITH US.

> SUE SHE COULD ONLY FIND

WORK A COUPLE OF MONTHS A YEAR.

WHEN HEAVY RAINS RIPPED DOWN

HER ROOF, SHE HAD NO MONEY TO

BUILD A NEW HOUSE.

SHE IS A WIDOW RAISING TWO

CHILDREN. HER HOUSE BUILT BY

BAMBOO AND PALM LEAVES WAS

BUILT BY HER LATE HUSBAND.

THE RAIN AND WIND BLEW MY

HOUSE SO HARD THAT IT SHOOK.

THERE WAS ALSO WATER LEAKING

THROUGH THE ROOF. I TRIED TO

FIX THE HOLES IN THE ROOF, BUT

THERE WERE SO MANY. I DON'T

HAVE MONEY TO BUILD A NEW

HOUSE.

SARU WORKS HARD TO SUPPORT

HER CHILDREN.

I WORK IN THE RICE FIELD. ON

DAYS I EARN ABOUT $2.50. BUT

LAST YEAR, I ONLY WORKED FOR 70

DAYS OUT OF THE WHOLE YEAR.

THIS IS 4-YEAR-OLD KANHIR.

WHEN IT RAINS, I HAVE TO

STAY IN THE HOUSE. THE ROOF

LEAKS, AND THE HOUSE MOVES. I

AM AFRAID MY HOUSE WILL FALL

DOWN.

Reporter: THROUGH OPERATION

BLESSING, BUILT THE FAMILY A

NEW HOUSE WITH SOLID WALLS AND

A METAL DOOR AND ROOF.

I NEVER DREAMED THAT I WOULD

HAVE A HOUSE LIKE THIS. I AM AT

A LOSS FOR WORDS.

I AM NOT AFRAID LIKE I WAS

BEFORE. I LOVE THIS NEW HOUSE.

> UP NEXT, THIS IS NOT GOING

TO WORK. THAT'S WHAT THIS WOMAN

THOUGHT WHEN SHE HEARD A WORD

OF KNOWLEDGE DESCRIBING HER

PAIN AND HEALING. SEE WHAT

HAPPENED NEXT, RIGHT AFTER

THIS.

> APRIL EUBANKS FIRST BEGAN

HAVING KNEE PAIN WHEN SHE WAS

PREGNANT WITH HER SON JEREMIAH.

LONG AFTER SHE GAVE BIRTH, THAT

PAIN CONTINUED AND INTENSIFIED.

THEN ONE DAY WHEN SHE WAS

WATCHING THE "700 CLUB," SHE

HEARD A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE THAT

FIT HER TO THE TEE.

Reporter: SHE BEGAN HAVING

EXCRUCIATING PAIN AND SWELLING

IN HER RIGHT KNEE.

IT STARTED OFF MILD, BUT

THEN IT STARTED PROGRESSING AS

I GOT FURTHER INTO MY

PREGNANCY. THE PAIN PROHIBITED

ME FROM DOING MY DAILY CHORES

LIKE KEEPING A HOUSE STRAIGHT,

CLEANING, WASHING, PICKING UP

BASKETS, CLOTHES, OR TRYING TO

GO INTO CABINETS.

Reporter: HER DOCTOR TOLD

HER NOT TO BE TOO CONCERNED,

AND TO TAKE TYLENOL FOR THE

INFLAMMATION.

I WAS VISITING MY DOCTOR

NORMALLY FOR MY PREGNANCY. I

DID BRING IT UP TO HIM, AND HE

SAID IT WAS NORMAL. IT WILL GO

AWAY AFTER, YOU KNOW, I GAVE

BIRTH TO MY SON. BUT THAT

WASN'T THE CASE. I COULDN'T

EXERCISE, BECAUSE IT WAS

UNBEARABLE PAIN. AT SOME POINT,

I WOULD TRY TO BEND DOWN, AND

IT WAS ALMOST LIKE I WOULD FALL

OVER, OR I WOULD GRASP ON MY

KNEE REAL HARD, OR SQUEEZE IT

REAL TIGHT. IT WAS BAD.

Reporter: APRIL GAVE BIRTH

TO JEREMIAH IN NOVEMBER OF

2016, BUT THE PAIN PERSISTED.

I KNOW OUR KNEES REQUIRE A

LOT OF BENDING FOR A LOT OF

THINGS IN LIFE. THOSE WERE

THINGS I COULDN'T DO. MY

DAUGHTER WOULD ALWAYS CHECK ON

ME, SEE IF I'M OKAY. SHE WOULD

SAY, YOU WANT ME TO PRAY? SURE,

GO AHEAD.

Reporter: A YEAR AGO, SHE

WAS WATCHING THE "700 CLUB."

I SAW A WORD FROM PAT.

YOUR RIGHT KNEE, IT'S

SWOLLEN, IT'S ENFLAMED. PUT

YOUR HAND ON THE KNEE RIGHT

NOW, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, YOU

WILL FEEL A TOUCH OF GOD, AND

YOU WILL BE COMPLETELY HEALED.

MOVE YOUR LEG. MOVE IT AROUND,

AND YOU ARE TOTALLY HEALED.

Reporter: IN MY HEAD, I'M

LIKE, THIS IS NOT GOING TO

WORK. BUT MY KNEE WAS HURTING

SO BAD, MAYBE HE'S TALKING

ABOUT ME. SO I DID IT. AFTER A

WHILE, I WAS LIKE, HUH.

SOMETHING HAPPENED IN MY KNEE.

Reporter: THE NEXT DAY, SHE

KNEW SOMETHING WAS DIFFERENT.

I WAS EXPECTING MY KNEE TO

GIVE ME THAT SAME PAIN, BUT I

WAS WALKING REGULARLY. I WAS SO

HAPPY, MY OLDEST DAUGHTER, SHE

WOKE UP, WHEN I TOLD HER, SHE'S

LIKE MOM, STOP, YOU'RE TELLING

STORIES. I'M LIKE, NO, I'M

TELLING THE TRUTH. I BENT DOWN

WITH NO PAIN, I STOOD BACK UP.

I WAS LIKE, I CAN BEND ME KNEE.

SHE WAS LIKE, GO TELL DAD,

THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENED.

Reporter: APRIL HAS NOT HAD

ANY KNEE PAIN SINCE THAT DAY,

AND IS BACK TO JOGGING.

IF YOU BELIEVE A STEP OUT OF

FAITH, IT CAN HAPPEN.

IT CAN HAPPEN. IT CAN

HAPPEN. IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU.

GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS.

WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR APRIL, HE

IS MORE THAN ABLE TO DO FOR YOU

AS WELL. YOU KNOW, THERE'S

SOMETHING IN ALWAYS OF US, I

THINK, WHEN WE WATCH SOMEONE

ELSE GET HEALED THAT JUST

DOESN'T QUITE BELIEVE IT CAN

HAPPEN FOR US. TODAY, BELIEVE

FOR YOURSELF. BELIEVE THAT GOD

WANTS TO, AND WILL TOUCH YOU

RIGHT AT YOUR POINT OF NEED,

WHEREVER THAT MIGHT BE. TO

FURTHER ENCOURAGE YOUR FAITH,

WE WANT TO SHARE SOME OTHER

ANSWERS TO PRAYER. THIS IS

MELISSA. I LOVE THIS. SHE WAS

WATCHING THE "700 CLUB" THE

MORNING OF OCTOBER 10th, JUST

DAYS AGO. SHE SAID I'VE SEEN

THE SHOW ONLY A COUPLE OF TIMES

BEFORE. THE PORTION OF THE SHOW

WHERE YOU CALL OUT AILMENTS AND

SAY GOD IS HEALING YOU, STRUCK

ME BY SURPRISE. THE GUY SAID, I

BELIEVE THAT'S YOU, GORDON.

I'M THE GUY. THAT GUY ON TV.

I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR A

LONG TIME. I'VE BEEN PRAYING

FOR YOUR RIGHT ROTATOR CUFF. IN

MY MIND I SAID, NO THE LEFT.

THEN HE SAID, NO, THE LEFT. NOW

IT'S FINE. I'M AT A LOSS FOR

WORDS. THANK YOU FOR PRAYING

FOR ME, AND EVERYONE ELSE.

THAT'S WONDERFUL.

HERE'S ONE. DARRELL BY

EMAIL. TERI AND GORDON HAD A

WORD OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SOMEONE

SUFFERING FROM CHRONIC PAIN,

SPECIFICALLY IN THE KNEE. I'VE

HAD AN UNDIAGNOSED PAIN IN MY

RIGHT KNEE AND LEG THAT'S BEEN

HEALED. I SAW MY DOCTOR ABOUT

IT TODAY, AND HE CONCURRED IT

WAS AN ANSWER TO PRAYER. TWO

DAYS AGO, I COULDN'T WALK.

TODAY, I'M GOING FOR THE FIRST

WALK I'VE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE IN

A VERY LONG TIME. THERE JUST

AIN'T NOTHING LIKE JESUS.

AMEN.

HE ALWAYS RESPONDS TO FAITH.

THE EYES OF THE LORD GO TO AND

FRO OVER THE WHOLE WORLD TO

SHOW HIMSELF STRONG TO THOSE

WHO'S HEARTS ARE LOYAL TO HIM.

HOW DO YOU SHARE YOUR LOYALTY?

IT'S ALWAYS THROUGH FAITH. WHEN

A PARALYZED MAN WAS BROUGHT TO

THE LORD, THEY HAD HEARD ABOUT

THE MIRACLES. THEY HAD SEEN

PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN HEALED.

THEY KNEW JESUS IS THE MESSIAH.

WHAT DID THEY DO? THEY CLIMBED

UP ON THE ROOF, AND THEN TORE A

HOLE THROUGH THE ROOF AND LET

THEIR FRIEND DOWN RIGHT IN

FRONT OF JESUS. THE BIBLE SAYS

SOMETHING WHEN JESUS SAW THEIR

FAITH. ISN'T THAT AMAZING?

FAITH IS VISIBLE. GOD CAN SEE

IT. ALL YOU NEED IS THAT LITTLE

MUSTARD SEED THAT SAYS, HEY,

HOW ABOUT ME? CAN I HAVE IT?

CAN YOU HEAL MY FRIEND? CAN YOU

HEAL ME? WHEN YOU DO THAT, HE

RESPONDS. HIS EYES ARE GOING

ALL OVER THE WORLD, LOOKING FOR

THIS. WHEN HE FINDS IT, HE

SHOWS HIMSELF STRONG. LET THAT

HAPPEN TO YOU TODAY. I KNOW

IT'S A STRANGE WAY TO LOOK AT

IT. LET THAT HAPPEN. BUT LET IT

HAPPEN. THE PROMISE IS FOR YOU.

HEALINGIS FOR YOU. HE FORGIVES

ALL YOUR INHE INEQUITIES. HE

WANTS TO DO IT. HE DIED FOR IT.

BY HIS STRIPES WE WERE HEALED.

IT'S ALREADY BEEN ACCOMPLISHED.

SO LET'S DO IT. LET'S SHOW OUR

LITTLE HAND AND SAY, I'M HERE,

I BELIEVE. IN AN ACT OF FAITH,

LAY THAT HAND ON THAT AREA OF

THE BODY THAT NEEDS HEALING.

TERI AND I WILL AGREE WITH YOU.

THAT'S IMPORTANT, WHEN TWO OR

MORE AGREE, TOUCHING ANYTHING,

IT SHALL BE DONE FOR THEM BY MY

FATHER IN HEAVEN. IF THERE ARE

PEOPLE AROUND YOU RIGHT NOW, IF

THEY'RE WITH YOU, COULD YOU ASK

THEM, PLEASE LAY HANDS ON ME,

LET'S BELIEVE. LET'S SHOW OUR

FAITH BY OUR ACTS. AND THEN GOD

WILL SHOW HIMSELF STRONG FOR

YOU. LET'S PRAY. LORD, AS

PEOPLE ARE LAYING HANDS ON THAT

AREA OF THE BODY THAT NEEDS

HEALING. WE JOIN TOGETHER WITH

THEM. WE JUST PROCLAIM IN

THANKSGIVING YOUR HEALING. WE

LOOK TO YOU, THE AUTHOR, THE

FINISHER OF OUR FAITH. WE LOOK

TO YOU ON THE CROSS. WE SEE

YOUR WOUNDS AND WE DECLARE OVER

OURSELVES OUT LOUD BY THE

STRIFES OF JESUS CHRIST, I AM

HEALED. I AM DELIVERED. PAIN,

DISEASE, INFIRMITY, LEAVE MY

BODY RIGHT NOW. IN THE NAME OF

JESUS AND RETURN NO MORE. I AM

HEALED NOW IN JESUS' NAME.

THERE'S A WOMAN, YOUR NAME IS

CLARISE. AND YOU ARE SUFFERING.

IT'S THIS CLOUD OF DEPRESSION.

IT JUST SEEMS TO BE DOMINATING

YOUR THOUGHTS, DOMINATING YOUR

ACTIONS. YOU LIVE IN WORRY, AND

FEAR, AND JUST A SENSE OF WOE.

GOD IS LIFTING THAT FOR YOU.

HE'S GIVING YOU NEW LIFE AND

ABUNDANT LIFE. NEW

RIGHTEOUSNESS. NEW PEACE, AND

ESPECIALLY JOY. JUST LIFT YOUR

HANDS TO HIM. ASK FOR THAT

BAPTISM OF JOY RIGHT NOW IN

JESUS' NAME. BE HEALED. THERE'S

SOMEONE, YOU HAVE A SEVERE

MUSCLE STRAIN THAT IS THE RIGHT

SHOULDER, THE MUSCLE ON THE

UPPER RIGHT ARM, ON THE BACK.

THEN IT GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN

YOUR BACK. IT'S JUST TREMENDOUS

PAIN. GOD IS HEALING THAT

ENTIRE JOINT. ALL OF THOSE

MUSCLES, LIGAMENTS, EVERYTHING

INVOLVED WITH THAT SHOULDER IN

JESUS' NAME. BE HEALED, AND BE

SET FREE. YOU JUST FELT IT LIFT

OFF. YOU JUST FELT THE BONES

LITERALLY REALIGN THEMSELVES.

YOU ARE BEING HEALED. IT'S A

TREMENDOUS MIRACLE FOR YOU

RIGHT NOW IN JESUS' NAME.

SOMEONE ELSE. YOU'VE HAD

ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERY ON YOUR

KNEE, AND IT HAS NOT HEALED

PROPERLY. IT'S SO DISCOURAGING

FOR YOU. GOD'S HEALING IT FOR

YOU. PUT YOUR HAND ON YOUR

KNEE. FEEL THAT WARMTH OVER

THAT AREA THAT'S TROUBLING YOU

SO MUCH. THE SWELLING IS GONE.

RESTORED TO NORMAL. IN JESUS'

NAME. SOMEONE ELSE YOU KEEP

GETTING LITTLE TEARS THAT

PRODUCE BLOOD IN YOUR EYE. GOD

IS HEALING THAT. IT'S NOT GOING

TO HAPPEN AGAIN. IT'S GONE NOW

IN HIS NAME.

THERE'S SOMEONE, YOU'VE GOT

TREMENDOUS FEAR, BECAUSE YOU

JUST HAD A COLONOSCOPY, AND

LITERALLY, IT'S JUST THE PAST

FEW DAYS, AND THEY FOUND A

TUMOR. GOD IS ABLE AND HE WANTS

YOU TO JUST TRUST IN HIM AND BE

WITH HIM. HE WANTS YOU TO

REMAIN UNDER THE CARE OF

DOCTORS SO THE MIRACLE CAN BE

DOCUMENTED, BUT HE IS HEALING

YOU IN JESUS' NAME. AMEN. AND

AMEN. IF YOU'VE BEEN HEALED,

LET US KNOW. LET US SHARE YOUR

GOOD REPORT. IF YOU NEED

PRAYER, WE'RE HERE FOR YOU. ALL

YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL US.

1-800-700-7000. HERE'S A WORD

FROM JEREMIAH. I WILL HEAL MY

PEOPLE, AND WILL LET THEM ENJOY

ABUNDANT PEACE AND SECURITY.

GOD BLESS. WE'LL SEE YOU
