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.

> 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
