IT WAS LIKE HAVING

EVERYTHING RIPPED OUT FROM

UNDERNEATH YOU.

A HEART FAILS.

HE SAID NORMAL HEARTS BEAT

LIKE THIS. AND YOURS IS BARELY

DOING THIS.

AND THIS YOUNG WOMAN BRACES

FOR THE WORST.

I CANNOT BELIEVE THE HUMAN

BODY CAN TAKE THIS MUCH PAIN.

SHE'S WHEELED IN THE O.R.

FOR A TRANSPLANT.

AND I WAS TRYING TO PREPARE

FOR THE WORST AT THE SAME TIME.

AND DOCTORS ARE STUNNED BY

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

THERE'S SOME THINGS REALLY,

REALLY GOOD OR SOMETHING'S

REALLY, REALLY BAD.

> WELCOME TO "THE 700 CLUB."

WE'VE GOT CONCERNS ABOUT A

TRIPLE-DEMIC COMING THIS

WINTER, THREE POTENTIALLY

SERIOUS VIRUSES ARE FILLING

HOSPITAL BEDS ACROSS THE

COUNTRY WITH BOTH CHILDREN AND

ADULTS.

STATES ARE ALREADY SEEING

EXTREMELY HIGH NUMBERS OF

PEOPLE WITH THE FLU AND A

RESPIRATORY VIRUS KNOWN AS RSV.

AND MANY DOCTORS BELIEVE COVID

CASES ARE ALSO LIKELY TO START

RISING AGAIN. CBN'S MEDICAL

REPORTER, LORIE JOHNSON HAS THE

STORY.

Reporter: EXAMPLES OF THOSE

FLOODING INTO HOSPITALS INCLUDE

8-MONTH-OLD TWINS CAMERON AND

CARSON COMBS. THEY BOTH HAVE

THE RESPIRATORY VIRUS KNOWN AS

RSV.

FINGERTIPS AND HIS LIPS WERE

TURNING BLUE, AND THAT POINT I

TOLD HER CALL 911. IT'S VERY

HARD. I MEAN, THEY'RE SO YOUNG.

I WISH IT WAS ME LAYING IN THE

BED INSTEAD OF THEM.

Reporter: CHILDREN'S

HOSPITALS IN NINE STATES ARE

ABOVE 80% CAPACITY WITH ANOTHER

FIVE ABOVE 90%.

IF WE HAVE A CHILD WHO'S

VERY ILL AND NEEDS TO BE IN 0

TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL, WE'RE

HAVING DIFFICULTY FINDING SOME

PLACE TO SEND THEM. WE'VE HAD

TO SEND CHILDREN AS FAR AS

LOUISIANA AND ARKANSAS.

Reporter: TO MAKE MATTERS

WORSE, HOSPITALIZATIONS DUE TO

THE FLU ARE AT THE HIGHEST

LEVEL IN MORE THAN A DECADE.

2022 HAS STARTED ABOUT TWO

MONTHS EARLIER. THE FIRST SIGNS

STARTED ABOUT TWO OR THREE

WEEKS AGO. AND WE ARE SEEING

EVERY WEEK AN INCREASED

ACTIVITY.

Reporter: THE DOMINANT

STRAIN IS H3N2 WHICH IN THE

PAST HAS LED TO MORE SEVERE

CASES.

WE HAVE APPROPRIATE VACCINES

THAT PEOPLE CAN TAKE TO PREVENT

THE INFECTION. WE HAVE

THERAPEUTICS, WE HAVE

MEDICATIONS OF WHICH WE CAN

TREAT THE DISEASE. WE HAVE

EXCELLENT TESTS FOR

IDENTIFYING, THEREFORE WE THINK

WE ARE PREPARED TO FACE EVEN A

PRETTY INTENSE --

DOCTORS SAY THIS YEAR'S

SPIKE IN FLU AND RSV CASES IS

LARGELY BECAUSE VERY FEW PEOPLE

ACQUIRED THESE VIRUSES OVER THE

LAST TWO YEARS BECAUSE OF

PANDEMIC RESTRICTIONS, AND

THEREFORE HAVE LITTLE TO NO

IMMUNITY. RIGHT NOW COVID CASES

ARE ACTUALLY DOWN AND MANY

AMERICANS HAVE DEVELOPED AN

IMMUNITY TO THE VIRUS. NEW

STRAINS, HOWEVER, CAN SOMETIMES

EVADE THOSE PROTECTIONS. THIS

TRIPLE VIRAL COMBINATION

TRIGGERING SOME SCHOOLS TO

TEMPORARILY CLOSE, LIKE THIS

ONE IN INDIANA THAT'S SEEN UP

TO 40% OF SOME CLASSES OUT

SICK.

I'VE BEEN THE SCHOOL LEADER

HERE FOR 25 YEARS, HAVE NEVER

SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

Reporter: REGARDLESS OF

WHETHER IT'S RSV, FLU OR COVID,

HEALTHCARE WORKERS EXPECT A

VERY CHALLENGING WINTER.

THE HOSPITALS AND THE

PHYSICIANS ARE DOING THE BEST

THAT THEY CAN, AND WE'LL ADAPT

TO WHATEVER BY GOD. IT'S ONLY

BY HIS GRACE THAT WE'LL GET

THROUGH THIS.

AMEN TO THAT. IT'S WONDERFUL

TO SEE THOSE CHRISTIAN DOCTORS,

AND, BY THE WAY, DOCTORS

RECOMMEND STAYING UP TO DATE ON

VACCINES AS THE BEST PROTECTION

FROM THE FLU AND COVID. BUT

THERE IS NO VACCINE FOR RSV.

OTHER PREVENTION MEASURES

INCLUDE GETTING PLENTY OF SLEEP

AND TAKING OTHER STEPS TO BOOST

THE IMMUNE SYSTEM. GORDON.

> ALL RIGHT. WELL, SINCE ALL

OF THESE ILLNESSES ARE IN YOUR

LUNGS, HOW CAN PEOPLE TELL THEM

APART?

WELL, IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT

TO TELL THEM APART. YOU DO NEED

A TEST BECAUSE A LOT OF THE

SYMPTOMS OVERLAP. WE'RE TALKING

ABOUT COUGH, SORE THROAT,

ACHINESS, FATIGUE, FEVER,

HEADACHE, AND THE THING IS

DOCTORS SAY IF YOU HAVE MILD

SYMPTOMS, MILD SYMPTOMS, IT

REALLY DOESN'T MATTER WHICH ONE

YOU HAVE BECAUSE YOU TREAT THEM

THE SAME WAY, LOTS OF REST,

PLENTY OF LIQUIDS, MAYBE AN

OVER-THE-COUNTER FEVER REDUCER,

PAIN RELIEVER, MOM'S CHICKEN

SOUP WHICH IS MY PERSONAL

FAVORITE. AND, HEY, LISTEN, IF

YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE VIRUSES

OR YOUR CHILD DOES, PLEASE STAY

HOME, EVEN IF YOU HAVE A MILD

CASE. JUST REMEMBER, YOU CAN

PASS IT ALONG TO SOMEONE WHO

COULD HAVE A SEVERE CASE. ALL

THREE OF THESE ARE DEADLY AND

ARE VERY CONTAGIOUS.

WELL, I'M HEARING THAT IT'S

MOSTLY SEVERE CASES,

PARTICULARLY WITH THE FLU AND

WITH RSV. SO HOW DO PARENTS

KNOW WHEN IT'S BAD ENOUGH TO GO

TO THE DOCTOR?

WELL, ACTUALLY, RSV IS SO

COMMON, MOST EVERY CHILD GETS

RSV BY THE AGE OF 2, EXCEPT THE

LAST COUPLE OF YEARS BECAUSE OF

THE PANDEMIC RESTRICTIONS. SO

WITH CHILDREN AND RSV, MOST

CASES ARE MILD. BUT HERE'S THE

THING. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT

SEPARATES A MILD FROM A SEVERE

CASE WITH CHILDREN AND RSV, YOU

WANT TO LOOK FOR DIFFICULTY

BREATHING, ALSO NOT TAKING

LIQUIDS, HIGH FEVER, BLUE FACE

OR LIPS. SO WITH BABIES, RSV

STRIKES BABIES A LOT, A LOT OF

TIMES PARENTS DON'T KNOW IF

THEY'RE HAVING DIFFICULTY

BREATHING. LOOK AT THEIR NAKED

CHEST. AND WHEN THEY BREATHE,

IF THEIR CHEST KIND OF CAVES IN

OR IF THERE'S AN UPSIDE DOWN

"V" UNDERNEATH THEIR NECK, THAT

MEANS THEY'RE WORKING WAY TOO

HARD JUST TO BREATHE. TAKE THEM

TO THE DOCTOR. ALSO HIGH FEVER.

WHAT'S A HIGH FEVER FOR A BABY?

UNDER THREE MONTHS OLD, A

RECTAL TEMPERATURE OF 100 OR

MORE, OVER 3 MONTHS OLD, A

TEMPERATURE OF 102.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE'RE ONLY

IN THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER,

AND WE USUALLY SEE THE PEAK OF

THESE THINGS IN JANUARY. SO

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE

HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, TO

HOSPITALS? ARE WE LOOKING AT

SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO

OVERWHELM THEM AGAIN?

WELL, WE REALLY HOPE NOT.

AND THAT'S THE MAJOR CONCERN

BECAUSE USUALLY WE SEE ALL

THESE VIRUSES PEAK IN JANUARY

AND FEBRUARY. AND SO THE FIRST

THING WE SEE WHEN HOSPITAL

SYSTEMS ARE OVERWHELMED IS LONG

WAIT TIMES. YOU GO TO THE

DOCTOR'S OFFICE, YOU'RE GOING

TO WAIT FOR HOURS, SOMETIMES

YOU MIGHT BE PUSHED TO THE NEXT

DAY. SAME THING FOR IF YOU GO

TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. YOU'RE

GOING TO WAIT FOR HOURS. AND

THEN WE TALK ABOUT MAYBE

CANCELING SERVICES, IF YOU HAVE

YOUR NORMAL PHYSICAL. YOUR

DOCTOR MIGHT SAY, HEY, I HAVE

TOO MANY FLU PATIENTS, I NEED

TO SEE YOU LATER. AND ALSO, IF

YOU MAY HAVE AN ELICHTIVE

SURGERY, LIKE A HIP

REPLACEMENT, THAT MIGHT BE

POSTPONED TO FREE UP BEDS FOR

PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL WHO HAVE

THESE VIRAL ILLNESSES. GORDON.

YOU TALKED BOOSTING THE

IMMUNE SYSTEM TO PROTECT

OURSELVES FROM THESE THINGS. SO

YOU'VE GOT ME ON PRO BIOTICS,

I'M TRYING TO PROTECT MY GUT

AND BUILD A BETTER GUT. SO WHAT

CAN WE DO TO BOOST OUR OWN

IMMUNE SYSTEMS?

YOU KNOW, MORE DOCTORS THESE

DAYS ARE SAYING THAT THE IMMUNE

SYSTEM IS TIED DIRECTLY TO OUR

GUT MICROBOME. SO WHAT WE WANT

TO DO IS GET THE GOOD BACTERIA

IN THERE AND FEED THEM A LOT OF

FOOD BECAUSE THEY MULTIPLY. IT

IS A NUMBERS GAME. SO WE LOVE

THE SUPPLEMENTS THAT YOU TAKE

AND THE FOODS LIKE THE YOGURT

AND THE KIMCHI. AND YOU LOVE TO

FEED THEM WITH FIBER FOODS,

HIGH-FIBER FOODS LIKE

VEGETABLES. OF COURSE, AS WE

TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, WE HAVE A

BOOKLET THAT TELLS YOU ALL

ABOUT HOW TO BUILD A BETTER

GUT. IT'S CALLED "BUILD A

BETTER GUT," AND YOU CAN GET IT

FOR FREE JUST BY GOING TO

CBN.COM.

WAY TO GO TO PUT THE PLUG IN

THERE. LORI, THANK YOU. AND

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE YOGURT

THAT I'M EATING THESE DAYS. ALL

RIGHT.

> IN OTHER NEWS, THE CHINESE

SOCIAL MEDIA APP TIKTOK HAS

AROUND 80 MILLION MONTHLY

ACTIVE USERS RIGHT HERE IN THE

GOOD OLE USA. AND THOSE USERS

ARE LIKELY BEING WATCHED BY

CHINA. THAT'S WHY A

COMMISSIONER WITH THE FEDERAL

COMMUNICATION COMMISSION IS NOW

CALLING FOR AN ABSOLUTE BAN ON

THE APP. HE SAYS IT'S A DIRECT

THREAT TO OUR NATIONAL

SECURITY. BRODY CARTER HAS THAT

STORY.

Reporter: THE PHENOMENAL

GROWTH OF TIKTOK, OWNED BY THE

CHINESE COMPANY BITEDANCE,

MEANS IT'S INFRASTRUCTURE IS

COLLECTING AMERICANS' PERSONAL

DATA AT AN ALARMING RATE. EVEN

SIMPLE INFORMATION LIKE YOUR

NAME, BIRTHDATE AND LOCATION

COULD BE USED FOR EXTORTION.

CHINA HAS A NATIONAL

SECURITY LAW THAT COMPELS EVERY

ENTITY WITHIN ITS JURISDICTION

TO AID ITS ESPIONAGE AND WHAT

THEY VIEW AS THEIR NATIONAL

SECURITY EFFORTS.

Reporter: FCC COMMISSIONER

BRANDON CARR IS BACK IN THE

SPOTLIGHT AFTER A REVAMPED PUSH

TO BAN TIKTOK. HE CITES

NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS,

INCLUDING THAT CHINA COULD USE

DATA COLLECTED HERE TO

POTENTIALLY INFLUENCE THE

COUNTRY'S POLITICAL PROCESS AND

EVEN MORE.

AND WE SEE JUST A HISTORY OF

NEFARIOUS CONDUCT FROM BUSINESS

INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE TO

BLACKMAIL. THERE'S A LOT OF

REASONS TO BE CONCERNED.

Reporter: CARR TOLD AXIOS,

QUOTE, THERE SIMPLY ISN'T A

WORLD IN WHICH YOU CAN COME UP

WITH SUFFICIENT PROTECTION ON

DATA THAT YOU COULD HAVE

SUFFICIENT CONFIDENCE THAT IT'S

NOT FINDING ITS WAY BACK INTO

THE HANDS OF THE CHINESE

COMMUNIST PARTY.

NOW WE KNOW THEY WERE

PLANNING TO TARGET SPECIFIC

AMERICANS. IT'S NOW BEEN BANNED

ON MILITARY DEVICES, ON

GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS' DEVICES,

YET IT'S STILL AVAILABLE FOR

THE AVERAGE AMERICAN.

Reporter: JAKE DENTON WITH

THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION SAYS

THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FIRST

INVESTIGATED TIKTOK IN 2019.

THEREAFTER, PRESIDENT DONALD

TRUMP THREATENED TO BAN THE

PLATFORM IN 2020 UNLESS IT WAS

SOLD TO A U.S. COMPANY. TODAY

THE FOREIGN INVESTMENT

COMMITTEE IS WORKING TO

DETERMINE WHETHER TIKTOK CAN BE

DIVESTED FROM THE CHINESE

COMPANY. DENTON SAYS AMERICAN

DATA COULD END UP IN TEXAS, BUT

WORRIES U.S. SERVERS COULD

STILL BE ACCESSIBLE TO CHINESE

ENGINEERS, RISKING AMERICANS'

DATA.

SO ULTIMATELY TAKE THE

DEVICE FROM YOUR CHILD, REMOVE

TIKTOK, MAKE SURE THIS IS NOT,

YOU KNOW, ON THE DEVICES OF

YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS BECAUSE THE

DATA COLLECTION IS HAPPENING,

WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT TO

ACKNOWLEDGE IT. THE ONLY

SOLUTION HERE IS AN OUTRIGHT

BAN OF TIKTOK IN THE UNITED

STATES.

AND I DON'T USE TIKTOK FOR

THAT REASON BECAUSE I KNOW

WHERE IT'S GOING. IT'S GOING TO

THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT.

Reporter: FREE SPEECH

ADVOCATE AND CREATOR OF

TUSKBROWSER.COM, JEFF BURMAN

SAYS TIKTOK'S SURVEILLANCE

TACTICS PARTLY INSPIRED HIM TO

CREATE A WEB BROWSER PROTECTING

USERS FROM BAD ACTORS AND WARNS

THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT'S

PLAYBOOK COULD EASILY HAPPEN

HERE IN THE U.S.

AND THAT IS VERY, VERY, VERY

CONCERNING. IT'S VERY CLEAR IN

THE CONSTITUTION THE GOVERNMENT

SHALL NOT DO ANYTHING LIKE

THAT, AND THEY NEED TO PUT

MORE, BETTER LAWS IN PLACE.

Reporter: IN SEPTEMBER,

TIKTOK EXECUTIVE ANESS A POPIS

WAS QUESTIONED BY THE SENATE

HOMELAND SECURITY AND

GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE,

SENATOR ROB PORTMAN EXPRESSED

THIS WORRY.

I'M CONCERNED THAT YOU'RE

NOT ABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION

EXCEPT TO SAY THAT YOU WILL NOT

MAKE THE COMMITMENT TO CUTTING

OFF THIS DATA TO CHINA. YOU

KNOW, WE THINK THAT ALL DATA

COLLECTED RELATING TO AMERICANS

AND THEN ACCESSED IN CHINA IS A

PROBLEM. WE THINK IT SHOULD BE

SAFE FROM EXPLOITATION BY THE

CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY.

Reporter: THE MIDTERMS ARE

COMING UP TUESDAY, AND MANY

POLITICAL CANDIDATES ARE USING

TIKTOK, AND THERE ARE SIGNALS

THE APP COULD PLAY A BIGGER

ROLE IN FUTURE ELECTIONS WHICH

IS A RED FLAG TO SOME NATIONAL

SECURITY AND SOCIAL MEDIA

EXPERTS. BRODY CARTER, CBN

NEWS.

WELL, WE'VE ALREADY SEEN HOW

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN BE MANIPULATED

IN ELECTIONS. TO IMAGINE THAT A

FOREIGN GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE

THAT POWER AND THAT ABILITY,

THESE THINGS NEED TO STOP.

> HERE'S SOMETHING THAT

PERHAPS OUR CONGRESS COULD

CONSIDER. COULD WE ADOPT THE

SAME LEGISLATION THAT CHINA HAS

THAT PROHIBITS THE EXPORT OF

DATA ON THEIR CITIZENS? SO THAT

WOULD BE NUMBER ONE. IS IT MORE

THAN JUST TIKTOK? HOW MANY

CLOUD COMPUTING FARMS ARE THERE

IN CHINA THAT ARE RUNNING THESE

SERVERS AND COLLECTING DATA,

DOES THE COMMUNIST PARTY HAVE

ACCESS TO THEM? BECAUSE THEY

CONTROL THE PIPES GOING TO AND

FROM THAT FARM. YOU LOOK AT

THESE THINGS AND GO, WAIT A

MINUTE. CHINA IS NOW TRYING TO

CONTROL THE PHARMACEUTICAL

INDUSTRY OF THE WORLD, TRYING

TO CONTROL THE SEMICONDUCTOR

INDUSTRY OF THE WORLD, IT'S

TRYING TO CONTROL FOREIGN PORTS

AND BUILDING FOREIGN PORTS AND

ACTUALLY OWNING THEM THROUGH

DEBT INSTRUMENTS SO THAT THEY

CAN GATHER ALL THE DATA ABOUT

THE WORLD ECONOMY FROM WHAT'S

BEING SHIPPED AND IMPORTED, ALL

OF THESE THINGS POINT OUT THAT

THEY ARE VERY SERIOUS ABOUT

THEIR GOAL. AND WHAT THEIR GOAL

IS, AND THEY'VE STATED IT

CLEARLY, THEY WANT TO BE THE

NUMBER ONE DOMINANT POWER BY

2049. NOW THE ISSUE IS CAN WE

RESPOND TO THAT. IF WE RESPOND

AND SAY, WELL, TIKTOK IS THE

PROBLEM, LET'S GET RID OF

TIKTOK, AND I ENCOURAGE YOU,

LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE, GET THAT

OFF YOUR PHONE. DON'T HAVE THIS

IDEA THAT SOMEHOW YOU'RE GOING

TO HAVE A SECOND CAREER DOING

TIKTOK DANCES. NO. LET'S HAVE

REASONABLE -- YEAH. THIS ISN'T

WORKING FOR US AS AMERICANS.

BUT I THINK MORE IMPORTANTLY,

HOW CAN WE STOP THE FLOW OF

DATA TO AND FROM OUR CITIZENS

SO THAT FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS,

FOREIGN ACTORS DON'T GET FREE

ACCESS TO IT. THAT'S WHAT WE

HAVE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE CAN'T

SEEM TO GET TOGETHER ON IT. IF

EUROPE, IF THE EUROPEAN UNION

CAN PASS DATA PROTECTION, IF

CHINA CAN LEGISLATE DATA

PROTECTION, WHY NOT ABOUT THE

USA? TERRY.

> WELL, COMING UP, THE WHOLE

WORD FOR THE WHOLE WORLD.

THAT'S THE MISSION OF THE

PEOPLE TRANSLATING THE ORIGINAL

TESTAMENT. STAY TUNED TO SEE

HOW THEY'RE SPARKING A GLOBAL

REVOLUTION.

> AND THEN LATER, THIS WOMAN

HAD A BROKEN HEART LITERALLY.

HERS WAS FUNCTIONING AT JUST 7%

CAPACITY. SEE HOW SHE GOT A NEW

HEART BEFORE SHE WENT UNDER THE

KNIFE, THAT'S LATER ON TODAY'S

PROGRAM.

> THE WHOLE WORD FOR THE

WHOLE WORLD, THAT'S THE GOAL OF

A MOVEMENT TO TRANSLATE THE OLD

TESTAMENT INTO LANGUAGES

WORLDWIDE. CURRENTLY 90% OF THE

WORLD'S LANGUAGES DO NOT HAVE A

TRANSLATION OF THE OLD

TESTAMENT. WELL, CHRIS METRO

REPORTS FROM JERUSALEM ON THE

EFFORT TO ELIMINATE THE

ORIGINAL TESTAMENT GAP.

Reporter: ON PENTECOST THIS

YEAR, THESE MEN AND WOMEN

GATHERED AT THE GARDEN TOMB TO

WORK ON EXPANDING THE USE OF

THE OLD OR ORIGINAL TESTAMENT

WORLDWIDE.

ORIGINAL TESTAMENT GAP

REFERS TO THE FACT THAT THE

ORIGINAL TESTAMENT IS

UNDERTRANSLATED, UNDERUSED AND

FREQUENTLY MISUNDERSTOOD.

WE COMMIT TO DO ALL THAT WE

CAN TO ACCELERATE THE

TRANSLATION OF THE ORIGINAL

TESTAMENTS INTO EVERY HUMAN

LANGUAGE WITH ALL OF THE HELP.

Reporter: THAT RESULTED IN

SIGNING THE JERUSALEM

DECLARATION TO ELIMINATE THE

ORIGINAL TESTAMENT GAP.

THAT'S WHAT THIS

CONCENTRATION IS ABOUT. WE HAVE

PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE GLOBE

THAT HAVE GATHERED HERE, VERY

PERIPHERALLY TO SEEK THE LORD,

SAYING, LOOK, WE'RE NOW AWARE

THAT THERE IS THIS VERY

SIGNIFICANT GAP. WOULD YOU SHOW

US WHAT WE ARE TO DO AND HOW

YOU WOULD SEE THIS ILLUMINATED,

THIS GAP ILLUMINATED.

Reporter: DAVID HAMILTON

EXPLAINS WHY THEY CHOSE TO USE

THE TERM ORIGINAL TESTAMENT.

BECAUSE WHEN SOMETHING IS

OLD, YOU JUST WANT TO TOSS IT

OUT AND REPLACE IT WITH

SOMETHING ELSE. ORIGINAL SPEAKS

OF A FOUNDATION THAT HAS LEGACY

AND VALUE IN A

MULTI-GENERATIONAL WAY. THE

ORIGINAL TESTAMENT WAS THE

BIBLE THAT JESUS AND THE

APOSTLES USED, AND WE WANT

EVERYONE TO HAVE ACCESS TO IT.

NEW TESTAMENT IS MOST

COMPREHENSIBLE WHEN IT'S

ORIGINALLY CONNECTED TO THE

TESTAMENT.

Reporter: THEY SAY THIS IS

NEEDED TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE

NEW TESTAMENT.

THE ORIGINAL TESTAMENT IS

THE FOUNDATION FOR US TO

UNDERSTAND THE GOSPEL OF THE

KINGDOM.

Reporter: CAN YOU IMAGINE

READING THE TESTAMENT AND YOU

COME ACROSS MENTION OF DAVID OR

ABRAHAM OR MOSES OR AHAS BEEN,

GIDEON OR ANY OF THE OTHER

HEROS OF OUR FAITH OR PLACES

LIKE BETHLEHEM, JERICHO,

JERUSALEM, AND EVENTS LIKE

CROSSING THE RED SEA, AND YOU

HAVE NO IDEA IN YOUR LANGUAGE

WHAT THOSE STORIES WERE ABOUT?

WHAT HAPPENED? WHO WERE THESE

PEOPLE?

Reporter: TO ILLUSTRATE

THEIR POINT, THE GAP TESTAMENT,

A VERSION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT

WITHOUT ANY REFERENCES TO THE

ORIGINAL TESTAMENT.

THE TEXT IS WHITED OUT. WHEN

THERE'S AN INTENTIONAL

ILLUSION, IT'S TONED DOWN TO

WATERMARK LEVEL. AND SO THIS IS

WHAT IT LOOKS FLIEK ACTS 7 WHEN

HE IS GIVING HIS SERMON THAT

GETS HIM KILLED. AND ALL BUT

TWO VERSES ARE DIRECT

QUOTATIONS OUT OF THE ORIGINAL

TESTAMENT. AND YOU CAN SEE AS

YOU GO THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES

DIFFERENT PARTS ARE JUST

MISSING BECAUSE WHEN WE READ

IT, THE NEW TESTAMENT WITHOUT

AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE

ORIGINAL, WE DO NOT GET THE

FULL PICTURE OF GOD'S PURPOSES.

SO WE JUST WANT THE FULLNESS OF

GOD'S GOOD WORD TO BE AVAILABLE

TO ALL PEOPLE. THE GOAL IS THE

WHOLE WORD FOR THE WHOLE WORLD.

Reporter: NOW COMES THE

STRATEGY, TOOLS AND HELP THEY

NEED TO ACCOMPLISH THIS HUGE

GOAL.

FIRST WE'RE GOING TO ASK THE

LORD THAT HIS SPIRIT WILL STIR

PEOPLE IN THEIR HEARTS AND THAT

THEY WILL WANT TO PARTICIPATE,

UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS

TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE ONLY

SCRIPTURE THAT JESUS' DISCIPLES

AND PAUL HAD WAS THE ORIGINAL

TESTAMENT.

Reporter: AND THEY'RE ASKING

FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST TO JOIN

THEM.

IF YOU HAVE THIS BURDEN TO

ELIMINATE THAT GAP, WE WOULD

INVITE YOU TO START PRAYING FOR

IT. PRAY FOR ALL THE LANGUAGES,

90% OF THE LANGUAGES DO NOT

HAVE THE ORIGINAL TESTAMENT.

START PRAYING FOR THOSE

LANGUAGES.

Reporter: CHRIS MITCHELL,

CBN NEWS, JERUSALEM.

NOW, IN MISSION HISTORY,

THERE'S A LOT OF REASONS WHY

THE ENTIRE BIBLE WASN'T

TRANSLATED IN PARTICULAR

LANGUAGES. FIRST IS IT'S HARD

TO DO IT. IT'S AN ENORMOUS TASK

TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE

EQUIVALENT IN THE HARD LANGUAGE

TO A WORD FROM HEBREW OR GREEK,

AND SO YOU NEED SCHOLARS,

THERE'S A WHOLE TRANSLATION

EFFORT. IT COSTS A GREAT DEAL

TO DO IT. SO BECAUSE OF THAT,

PEOPLE SAID, WELL, LET'S GET

THEM THE GOSPEL, LET'S

TRANSLATE THE GOSPEL OF LUKE OR

THE GOSPEL OF MARK OR THE

GOSPEL OF JOHN OR THE GOSPEL OF

MATTHEW, LET'S GET THEM THE

INITIAL SO WE'RE AT LEAST DOING

SOMETHING. THE OTHER PART HAD

TO DO WITH THERE ARE

COMPLICATIONS THAT IF YOU JUST

LOOK AT THE FIRST COVENANT THAT

GOD MADE WITH HIS PEOPLE, AND

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT

BRIDGES INTO THE NEW COVENANT

MADE WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS

CHRIST, THERE ARE SOME THINGS

IN THAT OLD TESTAMENT THAT ARE

KIND OF HARD TO EXPLAIN. SO IF

YOU'RE PREACHING THE GOSPEL TO

A CULTURE THAT PRACTICES

POLYGAMY WHICH HAPPENS

FREQUENTLY, JESUITS WERE

MURDERED IN VIETNAM BECAUSE

THEY INITIATED THEIR HUSBANDS

TO BE OF ONE WIFE, SO THAT

MEANT THEY HAD TO PUT AWAY

THEIR OTHER WIVES. THE BROTHERS

@LIKE THAT AT ALL BECAUSE THAT

MEANT THEY WERE COMING HOME AND

NEEDED SUPPORT. AND SO THEY

TOOK IT OUT ON THE JESUITS. AND

THE RESPONSE IS, WELL, IF KING

DAVID CAN HAVE A LOT OF WIVES,

IF SOLOMON CAN HAVE A LOT OF

WIVES, THEN WHY CAN'T WE HAVE A

LOT OF WIVES? SO YOU GET INTO

THESE INTERESTING CONVERSATIONS

AS YOU'RE TRYING TO INTRODUCE A

NEW WORLD VIEW TO A CULTURE

THAT THEY START PICKING APART

PASSAGES WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING

THE FULL CONTEXT AND THE FULL

CONTEXT THAT YOU AND I HAVE

GROWING UP IN ESSENTIALLY A

CHRISTIAN CULTURE. SO THAT'S

THE SECONDARY REASON. ARE THESE

GOOD REASONS? NO. NO. LET'S GET

THE WHOLE GOSPEL, THE WHOLE

TRUTH, THE WHOLE COVENANT. YOU

DON'T UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF

SIN UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND THE

GARDEN OF EDEN. YOU DON'T

UNDERSTAND GOD'S ORIGINAL

INTENT, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

WE'RE ALL MADE IN THE IMAGE OF

GOD, WE'RE ALL ONE RACE, THERE

AREN'T SEPARATE RACES, SEPARATE

CULTURES, WE'RE ALL ONE IN HIM.

YOU DON'T GET THAT UNTIL YOU

GET BOTH KOV NEPTS, THE OLD AND

THE NEW.

NOW, YOU THINK ALSO OF THE

PROSTHETIC THINGS IN THE OLD

TESTAMENT --

YES.

-- THAT WOULD REINFORCE THE

NEW THAT WOULD BE LOST.

YEAH, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

THE PROPHECIES ABOUT THE MODERN

STATE OF ISRAEL. YOU DON'T

UNDERSTAND THE PROPHECIES THAT

WERE FULFILLED IN JESUS AND

WERE TO BE FULFILLED ON THE

SECOND COMING.

IT'S A LOT.

IT'S A A LOT.

LET'S ALL COMMIT TO PRAY.

> WELL, COMING UP NEXT, HER

HEART DIDN'T SKIP A BEAT, IT

BARELY BEAT AT ALL. DOCTORS

BUMPED HER TO THE TOP OF THE

TRANSPLANT LIST. SEE WHY SHE

NEVER GOT HER SURGERY. PLUS

WE'RE GOING TO BE PRAYING FOR

YOU RIGHT AFTER THIS.

> WELL, MELISSA'S HEART WAS

FAILING FAST. SHE NEEDED A

CARDIAC TRANSPLANT. SO WHEN A

REPLACEMENT BECAME AVAILABLE,

MELISSA WAS RUSHED TO THE

HOSPITAL. BUT RIGHT BEFORE THE

SURGEON MADE HIS FIRST CUT, HE

SAW SOMETHING SO SHOCKING HE

CANCELED THE OPERATION.

Reporter: MARCH 2009.

MELISSA JUSTICE AND HER

HUSBAND, RAY, WERE COMING BACK

FROM A CRUISE WHEN MELISSA

BEGAN EXPERIENCING PAINS IN HER

CHEST.

I WAS 31, AND I JUST FELT

LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF

ACHES AND PAINS. SO I DIDN'T

REALLY THINK TOO MUCH OF IT.

Reporter: BACK HOME THE

PAINS PERSISTED, AND MELISSA

DECIDED TO SEE A DOCTOR. AN

ULTRA SOUND BROUGHT SHOCKING

RESULTS.

I'LL NEVER FORGET. HE SAID

NORMAL HEARTS BEAT LIKE THIS

AND YOURS IS BARELY DOING THIS.

THAT INITIAL SHOCK OF

SOMETHING'S WRONG, SOMETHING'S

DIFFERENT, THAT KNOWLEDGE THAT

LIFE IS NEVER GOING TO BE THE

SAME OR POTENTIALLY NEVER GOING

TO BE THE SAME AGAIN IS

JARRING.

Reporter: THE DIAGNOSIS,

CHRONIC SYSTOLIC HEART FAILURE,

A CONDITION WHERE ONE CHAMBER

IN THE HEART CAN'T PUMP BLOOD

EFFECTIVELY. MELISSA'S HEART

WAS FUNCTIONING AT ONLY 15%

CAPACITY. THEY PUT HER ON

MEDICATION, BUT HER BEST HOPE

FOR SURVIVAL WAS A HEART

TRANSPLANT.

IT WAS LIKE BEING TOLD, YOU

KNOW, YOU PLANNED THIS WHOLE

FUTURE WITH YOUR HUSBAND AND

THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY YOU HAD

IN YOUR MIND AND THIS BEAUTIFUL

CAREER THAT YOU WERE WORKING ON

SO HARD, IT WAS LIKE HAVING

EVERYTHING RIPPED OUT FROM

UNDERNEATH YOU.

Reporter: AFTER THREE MONTHS

OF MEDICATION, MELISSA'S HEART

FUNCTION HAD GOTTEN WORSE,

DROPPING TO 7%. NEEDING MORE

SPECIALIZED CARE, SHE WAS SENT

TO OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY

HOSPITAL.

THAT HEART FAILURE, AND THAT

MEANS THAT YOU TYPICALLY AREN'T

ABLE TO DO THINGS YOU USED TO

DO, YOUR NORMAL DAILY

ACTIVITIES. IT'S A

LIFE-ALTERING DIAGNOSIS, EVEN

THOUGH THESE DAYS WE KEEP A LOT

OF THESE HEART FAILURE PATIENTS

ALIVE. IT'S NOT THE SAME LIFE.

WE WOULD WAKE UP EVERY

MORNING, AND WE WOULD GIVE

OURSELVES AN ENTIRE HOUR WHERE

WE JUST LET OURSELVES GRIEVE

THAT LIFE THAT WE WERE LOSING.

AFTER THAT HOUR WAS OVER, WE

WOULD COME TOGETHER, AND WE

WOULD PRAY, AND WE WOULD SAY,

YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE

THE BEST OF THIS DAY THAT WE

CAN.

Reporter: MELISSA HAD A

HEART PUMP IMPLANTED IN AUGUST

OF THAT YEAR. ALONG THE WAY,

MELISSA STARTED A BLOG TO

CHRONICLE HER JOURNEY AND ASK

FOR PRAYER.

JUST TRIED TO TRUST THAT GOD

WOULD BE WITH US. I DID NOT

FEEL BETTER. I REMEMBER

ACTUALLY THINKING I CANNOT

BELIEVE THE HUMAN BODY CAN TAKE

THIS MUCH PAIN. I KEPT THINKING

MAYBE TOMORROW I'LL FEEL

BETTER. BUT MONTHS AFTER THE

SURGERY, I STILL WAS FEELING

VERY ROUGH.

WHAT'S THE FUTURE GOING TO

HOLD? WHAT'S IT GOING TO LOOK

LIKE? WILL MY WIFE STILL EVEN

BE HERE IN SIX MONTHS? WILL I

NEED TO PLAN A FUNERAL?

Reporter: AFTER FOUR MONTHS

OF LITTLE IMPROVEMENT, IT

SEEMED THE TRANSPLANT WAS STILL

THE BEST OPTION. AFTER PASSING

THE CANDIDACY TEST WITH PERFECT

NUMBERS, MELISSA WAS PUT AT THE

TOP OF THE TRANSPLANT LIST, BUT

ONLY FOR 30 DAYS. ON JANUARY

10th, 2010, THE LAST DAY OF HER

ELIGIBILITY, A SUITABLE HEART

BECAME AVAILABLE. MELISSA WAS

WHEELED IN FOR SURGERY THAT

NIGHT.

THE BEST CASE SCENARIO WAS

THAT I WAS GOING TO GET THIS

TRANSPLANT, AND IT WAS GOING TO

BE FANTASTIC. AND I WAS TRYING

TO PREPARE FOR THE WORST AT THE

SAME TIME. AND I WANTED TO

TRULY HONOR GOD, WHETHER I

PASSED OR WHETHER I LIVED, I

WANTED TO HONOR GOD IN WHATEVER

I DID.

PRAYING FOR STRENGTH FOR

HER, FOR AS GOOD A RECOVERY AS

WE COULD EXPECT, KNOW IF THINGS

DID NOT GO AS PLANNED, YOU

KNOW, THE GRACE TO GET THROUGH

THAT, THE STRENGTH TO GET

THROUGH THOSE OUTCOMES. DR.

PEREZ COMES OUT IN TWO TO THREE

HOURS, THAT'S THE TIME FRAME,

AND WE JUST ALL FREEZE, RIGHT,

IN THE WAITING ROOM.

SOMETHING'S EITHER REALLY,

REALLY GOOD OR SOMETHING'S

REALLY, REALLY BAD.

I WOKE UP, AND I THOUGHT,

WELL, I FEEL BETTER THAN I

THOUGHT I'D FEEL THE FIRST

TIME, BUT I HAD ONLY LIKE -- IT

WAS MY FIRST SURGERY. SO I

EXPECTED TO FEEL A LOT WORSE

THAN I FELT. SO WHEN RAY CAME

IN, HE SAID, HONEY, YOU DIDN'T

GET THE TRANSPLANT. AND I WAS,

LIKE, AW, MAN, THE HEART WAS

BAD? AND RAY SAID, NO, HONEY,

YOUR HEART IS BETTER. GOD

HEALED YOUR HEART. YOU DIDN'T

NEED THE TRANSPLANT.

Reporter: MOMENTS AFTER

MELISSA WAS PUT UNDER, HER

ANESTHESIOLOGIST, DR. PEREZ,

DECIDED TO DO ONE FINAL TEST.

WHAT HE SAW HE COULDN'T

EXPLAIN.

I PUT THE PROBE IN, AND WHAT

I SEE IS A HEART THAT IS ALMOST

BUT NOT QUITE COMPLETELY NORMAL

IN ITS SQUEEZE. I KEPT LOOKING

AT THIS HEART THAT WAS BANGING

AWAY VIRTUALLY NORMALLY, AND

SHE'S NOT ON ANY SUPPORTIVE

DRUGS AT ALL. THE SURGEON

LOOKED AT THAT HEART, SAW WHAT

I SAW AND SAID "I CAN'T GIVE

HER A HEART THAT WORKS BETTER

THAN THIS."

THE MORNING OF MY NOT

TRANSPLANT, I REMEMBER MY

SURGEON COMING IN, AND HE SAID

"MELISSA, WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT

MADE YOU SICK, AND WE HAVE NO

IDEA WHAT'S MADE YOU BETTER."

AND WE SAID WE DO. WE KNEW.

Reporter: MONTHS LATER THE

PUMP WAS REMOVED. TODAY AFTER

MORE THAN A DECADE, MELISSA'S

HEART IS STILL GOING STRONG.

AND WHILE IT'S NOT QUITE 100%,

SHE'S STILL ABLE TO BE THE

ACTIVE MOTHER OF TWO ADOPTED

BOYS AND LOVING WIFE THAT GOD

HAS CALLED HER TO BE. IT'S

STILL TOUGH SOME DAYS, BUT IT'S

LIFE. I STILL WAKE UP IN THE

MORNING, AND I SAY "THANK YOU,

GOD, FOR HEALING MY HEART."

SEEING MELISSA TODAY, OVER

10 YEARS LATER, STILL WITH HER

OWN HEART, LIVING A NORMAL

LIFE, IT'S JUST A PRIVILEGE TO

HAVE BEEN A PART OF IT.

WE KNOW MIRACLES HAPPEN,

RIGHT? WE READ ABOUT THEM IN

THE BIBLE. BUT TO SEE ONE, TO

SEE SOMETHING SO TANGIBLE

HAPPEN WAS AMAZING.

I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LIFE, A

VERY FULL LIFE, AND I HAVE LIFE

WHICH IS THE BEST PART.

WHAT A MIRACULOUS STORY. YOU

KNOW, GOD DOES MIRACLES

EVERYDAY. WE WANT TO TAKE SOME

TIME TO PRAY FOR YOU TODAY, AND

I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE IN

SITUATIONS THAT ARE CERTAINLY

DIFFICULT, IF NOT DESPERATE.

YOU KNOW, GOD IS ABLE, HE'S THE

ONE WHO CREATED US. HE'S THE

ONE WHO KNOWS US INSIDE AND

OUT. WE WANT TO PRAY

SPECIFICALLY FOR NEEDS TODAY

THAT YOU ARE DEEPLY CONCERNED

ABOUT. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IT'S

HARD TO BELIEVE -- YOU KNOW, I

CAN BELIEVE FOR A MIRACLE FOR

YOU, BUT WOULD GOD DO THAT FOR

ME? WELL, HE'S DONE IT FOR

PEOPLE OTHER THAN JUST MELISSA.

THIS IS DAWN. SHE LIVES IN FALL

RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS. SHE HAD A

TERRIBLE PAIN IN HER RIGHT

ELBOW, SO SHE MADE A DOCTOR'S

APPOINTMENT. SHE WAS WATCHING

THIS PROGRAM AT 3:00 P.M. THAT

DAY AS SHE DOES EVERYDAY WHEN,

GORDON, YOU HAD A WORD OF

KNOWLEDGE. YOU SAID THERE'S A

WOMAN, I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS

AN ACCIDENT OR WHAT CAUSED IT,

BUT YOU WERE IN A LOT OF PAIN.

GOD IS HEALING THAT FOR YOU

NOW. PUT YOUR HAND ON YOUR

ELBOW AND ACCEPT IT. GOD'S

HEALING YOU. NO MORE PAIN. DAWN

WAS HEALED IMMEDIATELY. SHE

CALLED AND CANCELED HER

DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT.

HERE'S GRACE FROM SALT LAKE

CITY, UTAH. SHE HAD TERRIBLE

PAIN IN BOTH OF HER FEET. AFTER

SUFFERING FOR OVER A YEAR,

GRACE HEARD TERRY GIVE THIS,

SOMEONE WITH A BAD BREAK IN

YOUR FOOT, IT'S NOT JUST YOUR

ANKLE, IT'S YOUR FOOT, AND

YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE WALKING

BECAUSE OF MOBILITY. IT'S NOT

HEALING WELL. GOD IS KNITTING

THAT TOGETHER FOR YOU RIGHT

NOW. WELL, AS SOON AS GRACE

HEARD THE PRAYER, THE PAIN

LEFT. SHE CALLED A MONTH LATER

AND REJOICING PAIN HAS NOT

RETURNED. SHE'S HEALED. GOD

WANTS TO HEAL YOU. WHEN YOU

UNDERSTAND HIS NATURE, IT'S HIS

VERY NAME, HE IS OUR HEALER,

THAT WE CAN COME TO HIM WITH

EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE, ALL

DISEASE, ALL PAIN, ALL

INFIRMITY. NOTHING IT TOO HARD

FOR HIM, NOTHING IS TOO SMALL

FOR HIM. HE WANTS TO TAKE CARE

OF HIS CHILDREN. LET'S JUST

BELIEVE THAT AND BE LIKE LITTLE

CHILDREN COMING TO DADDY AND

SAY I'VE GOT A PROBLEM, I NEED

HELP WITH THIS. COULD YOU HEAL

ME? COULD YOU TOUCH ME? COULD

YOU SET ME FREE FROM THIS?

COULD YOU MAKE ME WHOLE AGAIN?

LET'S PRAY. LORD, WE COME TO

YOU, WE COME TO YOU HUMBLY AS

LITTLE CHILDREN, BUT ALSO AS

LITTLE CHILDREN, WE COME TO YOU

BELIEVING BECAUSE THE WORDS OF

OUR HEAVENLY FATHER ARE ALWAYS

TRUE. YOU ALWAYS WATCH OVER

YOUR WORD TO PERFORM IT. WE

TRUST IN YOU, WE RELY ON YOU,

AND WE LOOK TO YOU AS THE

ANSWER TO EVERY HUMAN NEED, WE

LOOK TO YOU. SO, LORD, GOD

ALMIGHTY, STRETCH FORTH YOUR

HAND TO DO WONDERS, TO DO SIGNS

AND MIRACLES, TO HEAL, TO

RESTORE, TO RENEW, TO GIVE

YOUTH, TO GIVE ENERGY, TO GIVE

HEALING, TO GIVE DELIVERANCE.

WE LOOK TO YOU, LORD GOD, AND

WE ASK FOR IT NOW IN JESUS'

NAME. TERRY, GOD'S GIFT.

SOMEONE MAY HAVE AN OKAYULAR

PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW THE

MEDICAL NAME OF IT. BUT IT'S

ALMOST LIKE YOUR EYE TISSUE IS

BREAKING DOWN INSIDE YOUR EYE.

GOD IS HEALING THAT CONDITION

FOR YOU RIGHT NOW. YOU HAVE

GRIEVED, YOU HAVE BEEN SO

CONCERNED ABOUT THE LOSS OF

YOUR SIGHT. GOD'S HEALING YOU

RIGHT NOW. JUST BEGIN TO THANK

HIM AND PRAISE HIM.

THERE'S SOMEONE WHO'S HAVING

HEART PAIN RIGHT NOW. JUST LAY

YOUR RIGHT HAND OVER YOUR HEART

AND SAY OUT LOUD, BY THE

STRIPES OF JESUS CHRIST, I AM

HEALED. EVERY VEIN NOW BE OPEN.

EVERY ARTERY BE OPEN. EVERY

VALVE BE NORMAL, CLOSE AND OPEN

NORMALLY. EVERY BEAT BE

REGULAR. ALL FLUID, ALL

CONGESTION, DRAIN AWAY RIGHT

NOW, IN JASON' NAME, BY HIS

STRIPES I AM HEALED. I REBUKE

ALL OF THAT PAIN NOW. LEAVE MY

BODY AND NEVER RETURN. I CLAIM

IT ALL IN JESUS' NAME.

THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE, YOU

HAVE A CONDITION WITH LIKE THE

TOP PART OF YOUR SPINE, LIKE

YOU CAN'T TURN YOUR NECK AND

YOUR HEAD NORMALLY. GOD IS ALL

OF THAT. YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL

IT RIGHT NOW. JUST BEGIN TO

TWIST YOUR HEAD AND TURN IT.

YOU'LL HEAR SOME POPPING, BUT

EVERYTHING IS GOING BACK INTO

PLACE AND YOU ARE FREE TO MOVE

FREELY WITHOUT PAIN, WITHOUT

RESTRICTION.

THERE'S SOMEONE, YOU'RE A

LEFT HANDED HITTER, AND YOU GOT

HIT BY A BASEBALL ON YOUR RIGHT

CHEEK. THERE WAS A GUARD AND

SOMEHOW THE BASEBALL EITHER

BOUNCED OFF THAT GUARD OR JUST

AVOIDED IT ALL TOGETHER. BUT

ANYWAY, YOU'RE IN PAIN. AND GOD

IS HEALING YOUR BONE, HE'S

HEALING EVERYTHING CONCERNING

IT, IN JASON' NAME, BE HEALED

AND BE MADE WHOLE.

AND SOMEONE HAS A LITTLE

BOY, A CHILD NAMED OLIVER WHO

IS IN THE HOSPITAL WITH SOME

SERIOUS ISSUES. GOD'S HEALING

YOUR CHILD FOR YOU TODAY. JUST

CLAIM THAT, RECEIVE THAT, SAY

YES TO THAT AND BEGIN TO

WORSHIP HIM.

SOMEONE CRYING OUT FOR THEIR

RIGHT KNEE, IT'S A RIGHT KNEE

FOR YOU, IN JESUS' NAME BE

HEALED AND BE STABLE, A STABLE

JOINT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT YOUR

WEIGHT. MOVE IT NOW, IN THE

NAME OF JESUS. LORD, WE THANK

YOU, WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR

HEALING TOUCH. WE THANK YOU FOR

YOUR SACRIFICE. WE THANK YOU

THAT YOUR WILL IS PERFECT, AND

YOU ALWAYS WILL GOOD FOR US.

YOU ARE WORKING EVERYTHING

TOGETHER FOR OUR GOOD BECAUSE

WE LOVE YOU, AND WE ARE CALLED

ACCORDING TO YOUR PURPOSE. WE

THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO

FOR US, IN JESUS' NAME WE PRAY,

AMEN.

AMEN.

IF YOU'VE BEEN HEALED, IF

YOU'VE BEEN TOUCHED, LET YOU

KNOW. SHARE IT IN YOUR GOOD

REPORT. GIVE US A CALL,

800-700-7000. AND IF YOU NEED

PRAYER, WE'RE HERE FOR YOU.

WE'RE HERE 24 HOURS A DAY,

SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. WE BELIEVE

IN PREVAILING PRAYER, A PRAYER

THAT GETS AN ANSWER. SO PICK UP

THE PHONE, GIVE US A CALL,

800-700-7000. TERRY.

BREAK. THE UNITED STATES AND

SOUTH KOREA HAVE WARNED NORTH

KOREA THE USE OF ANY KIND OF

SECRETARY AUSTIN AND I

AFFIRM THAT ANY NEW CLEAR TYPE

BY THE DPRK, INCLUDING THE USE

OF TACTICAL NUCLEAR WEAPONS IS

UNACCEPTABLE AND RESULT IN THE

END OF THE KIM JONG-IL REGIME

DECISIVE RESPONSE OF THE

AMAZING STORIES OF HOW GOD USED

YOU CAN FEEL EVERYONE'S SPIRIT,

AND IT'S KIND OF DOWN. IT'S SO

AMAZING TO SEE HOW THE

> THURY LEWIS WAS BORN WITH

CLUBBED FEET. HIS MOTHER HAD NO

WAY TO PRAY FOR AN OPERATION.

SO SHE PRAYED TO GOD FOR HELP.

AND HERE'S HOW YOU HELPED TO

ANSWER HER PRAYERS.

WE FIRST MET BABY LUIS WHEN

HE WAS JUST 5 DAYS OLD. WE'D

BEEN ASKED TO COME TO THE

CLINIC BY HIS MOTHER TO SEE IF

WE COULD HELP. THAT'S WHEN WE

SAW HIS CLUBBED FEET FOR THE

FIRST TIME.

THE DAY MY SON WAS BORN, I

HEARD ONE DOCTOR SAY TO THE

OTHER, LOOK AT THIS. THEN I SAW

MY BABY'S FEET AND STARTED

CRYING. I WONDERED IF MY SON

WOULD EVER BE ABLE TO WALK.

Reporter: THIS IS BABY LUIS'

OLDER SISTER, 9-YEAR-OLD LORI.

I AM HAPPY BECAUSE I HAVE A

LITTLE BROTHER. I WORRY ABOUT

HIS FEET. SOMETIMES I CRY ABOUT

IT. BUT MOM TOLD ME THAT HE WAS

GOING TO BE OKAY.

Reporter: THE CHILDREN'S

MOTHER IS A SINGLE PARENT. TO

SUPPORT THEM, SHE WORKS PART

TIME AS A SEAMSTRESS IN HER

SISTER'S SHOP. SHE TOLD US SHE

SPENT THE LAST OF HER SAVINGS

TO TRAVEL TO THE SPECIALIST

WHERE WE MET HER.

WHEN I TOOK HIM TO THE

SPECIALIST, HE TOLD ME THAT

THERE WAS A SOLUTION AND THAT

NOW WAS THE RIGHT TIME TO

INTERVENE. HE TOLD ME THE COST

OF THE PROCEDURE, AND IT WAS

VERY EXPENSIVE. I WAS PRAYING

TO THE LORD FOR HELP BECAUSE I

HAD NO WAY TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR

AN OPERATION.

Reporter: THAT'S WHEN THE

DOCTOR MENTIONED THAT OPERATION

BLESSING MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP.

WE MET WITH LUIS AND THE

SURGEON AT THE CLINIC, AND ONE

MONTH LATER, WE SHARED THE GOOD

NEWS WITH THEM. THE OPERATION

BLESSING PARTNERS WOULD PAY FOR

HER SON TO RECEIVE FREE

TREATMENT AND SURGERY.

I AM HOPING THAT MY

BROTHER'S FEET WILL BE FINE.

Reporter: IN A PROCEDURE

KNOWN AS THE PONSETI SYSTEM,

LUIS' FEET WERE PUT INTO CASTS.

BECAUSE HE WAS SO YOUNG AND HIS

BONES ARE SO PLIABLE, THEY ONLY

NEEDED TO CAST HIM FOR THREE

WEEKS, A MINOR SURGERY

FOLLOWED. THEN TO KEEP THE FEET

ALIGNED, HE'LL WEAR THESE

CORRECTIVE BOOTS CONNECTED WITH

A ROD. AT THE END OF THREE

MONTHS, WE WENT BACK AND FOUND

LUIS' FEET HAD STRAIGHTENED

SIGNIFICANTLY WITH A PROGNOSIS

FOR COMPLETE RECOVERY BY THE

TIME HE STARTS TO WALK.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE PEOPLE

WHO HELPED HIM.

I FEEL SO HAPPY. I DON'T

KNOW HOW TO EXPRESS IT. THIS IS

THE HELP I WANTED MOST FOR MY

SON. IF THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED

ME WERE HERE IN FRONT OF ME, I

WOULD HUG THEM. THANK YOU VERY

MUCH.

WELL, THAT THANK YOU, THOSE

TEARS, THAT HUG, THAT SMILING

LITTLE BOY, IT ALL GOES TO YOU

IF YOU'RE A MEMBER OF THE THE

700 CLUB. IF YOU'RE NOT A

MEMBER, I INVITE YOU. A PORTION

OF EVERY GIFT WILL WORK AROUND

TO HELP PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD

> WELL, COMING UP, THE

GROUNDBREAKING SHOW THAT'S

TELLING THE STORIES OF JESUS

AND TOUCHING THE LIVES OF

VIEWERS. THE HEAD OF ORIGINAL

CONTENT FOR "THE CHOSEN" TELLS

US WHAT HAPPENED WHEN NINE

STRANGERS SAT DOWN TO WATCH THE

PROGRAM FOR THE VERY FIRST

TIME. THAT IS NEXT.

> "THE CHOSEN" IS THE

FIRST-EVER MULTI-SEASON SERIES

ABOUT THE LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST.

IT'S ALSO THE LARGEST

CROWDFUNDED MEDIA PROJECT IN

HISTORY. SEASON 3 PREMIERS IN

THEATERS LATER THIS MONTH, AND

THE SHOW'S VICE PRESIDENT OF

CREATIVE CONTENT IS KATHERINE

WARNOCK. RECENTLY SHE SAT DOWN

WITH ASHLEY KEY TO TELL US HOW

SHE'S TAKING "THE CHOSEN"

BEYOND THE BIG SCREEN.

Reporter: HEY, EVERYONE,

IT'S ASHLEY KEY HERE, AND I

HAVE THE AMAZING BLESSING AND

PRIVILEGE TO TALK WITH

KATHERINE WARNOCK. SHE IS HEAD

OF ORIGINAL CONTENT FOR "THE

CHOSEN." KATHERINE, THANK YOU

SO MUCH FOR SITTING DOWN WITH

ME TODAY.

THANK YOU. IT'S SO MUCH FUN.

Reporter: I REALLY JUST

WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT

WHAT YOU'RE DOING AS HEAD OF

ORIGINAL CONTENT. WHAT EXACTLY,

LIKE, DOES THAT LOOK LIKE FOR

YOU?

IT LOOKS LIKE VERY LITTLE

SLEEP. NO. IT'S EXTRAORDINARY.

I ALWAYS SAY I HAVE THE BEST

JOB IN THE WORLD. I OVERSEE ALL

SUPPLEMENTARY CONTENT, LIKE

CHRISTMAS SPECIALS AND THE

UNFILTERED GEN-Z DOCUMENTARY

WHICH IS UNFILTERED GEN-Z

REACTS TO "THE CHOSEN." WE'RE

WORKING ON A DOCUMENTARY SERIES

WITH JONATHAN ROOMY WHO PLAYS

JESUS RIGHT NOW THAT WILL BE

AFTER SEASON THREE COMES OUT.

WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO TAKE THE

CAST TO ISRAEL AND DO SOME

AMAZING JOURNEY TO THE CROSS

WHERE THEIR CHARACTERS WALKED,

BUILDING OUT THAT UNIVERSE. I

ALSO OVERSEE SPECIAL PROJECTS,

THEATRICAL RELEASES, PREMIERS.

GETTING INTO THE 5,000, THAT

WAS MY TEAM.

Reporter: OH, MY GOSH. THAT

IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I

ALSO REALLY JUST WANTED TO PICK

YOUR BRAIN ABOUT THE GEN-Z

UNFILTERED WATCHING "THE

CHOSEN," FIRST REACTIONS.

IT WAS SO INTENSE TO BE

DROPPED INTO A GROUP WHERE

EVERYONE HAS SUCH A COMPLEX

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND WITH

KRIFTZIANT. THE EXPERIENCE WAS

UNLIKE ANYTHING I'VE EVER

REALLY EXPERIENCED BEFORE.

NOT KNOWING ABOUT A

RELIGIOUS SHOW, WE'RE ABOUT TO

BINGE WATCH ON A COUCH WITH

RANDOM STRANGERS.

WE HOPE YOU CAN RELATE TO

IT. HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT'S

HAPPENING HERE. [ MUSIC ] [

MUSIC ]

Reporter: WHY DID "THE

CHOSEN" WANT TO DEVELOP

SOMETHING SPECIFICALLY FOR THE

GENERATION Z?

I THINK OUR GOAL IS TO REACH

A BILLION PEOPLE WITH THE

AUTHENTIC JESUS, AT LEAST THE

FIRST BILLION. I ACTUALLY THINK

WE'LL FAR SURPASS THAT. WE

CAN'T DO THAT WITHOUT THE

GLOBAL COMMUNITY, ONE, AND WE

CAN'T DO THAT WITHOUT GEN-Z.

AND WE FEEL GEN-Z IS OFTEN THE

MOST MISUNDERSTOOD GENERATION,

AND THEY'RE THE MOST ADVERSE TO

HEARING ABOUT A JESUS SHOW AND

WANTING TO WATCH IT.

Reporter: HAVE YOU, LIKE,

FOLLOWED UP WITH ANY OF THEM,

AND HAVE ANY OF THEM REALLY,

YOU KNOW, TAKEN A STEP OF FAITH

IN CHOOSING TO BELIEVE AND

STUFF LIKE THAT?

YES. SO WE SEE A NUMBER OF

CAST MEMBERS, ONE VERY BOLDLY

BECOMES A CHRISTIAN THROUGH THE

EXPERIMENT. A FEW OTHERS

JOURNEY REALLY INTENTIONALLY

TOWARDS CHRISTIANITY. AND NOW

WE SAY, OH, JESUS NOW HAS A

REALLY FIRM PLACE IN MY HEART.

FIRST TIME EVER SHE SHARES HER

TRAUMATIC SEXUAL ABUSE, AND I

ASKED HER, I PULLED HER ASIDE

BECAUSE I HAVE A SIMILAR

BACKGROUND. AND I SAID, HEY,

THIS IS A BIG DEAL, LIKE, ONE,

I'M WITH YOU, LIKE I'VE

JOURNEYED THIS. WE'RE HERE

TOGETHER. BUT, TWO, LIKE WHY

ARE YOU -- YOU DON'T HAVE TO

SHARE THIS. SHE SAYS, NO, YOU

GUYS HAVE MADE ME FEEL SO SAFE.

Reporter: WOW!

THIS IS SO HEALING. IT'S

TIME I CONFRONT MY PAST. I'M

NOT GOING TO BE A VICTIM

ANYMORE. I WAS VICTIMIZED. IT'S

TIME TO LEAVE THE VICTIM

BEHIND.

WHEN I SHARED MY HISTORY

ABOUT, LIKE, SEXUAL ABUSE, YOU

JUST CONNECTED WITH ME, AND YOU

MADE ME FEEL SO SAFE AND HEARD,

AND YOU SHARING YOUR HISTORY, I

HAD NEVER HAD SOMEONE SHOW UP

FOR ME IN THAT WAY.

WE HAD ONE THAT WAS

VEHEMENTLY JUST HATED

CHRISTIANS BECAUSE OF HER

BACKGROUND, AND NOW SHE'S JUST,

LIKE, HEY, KATHERINE, CAN YOU

MENTOR ME PROFESSIONALLY? SO

SOME I'M NOW MENTORING FROM A

SPIRITUAL CONTEXT, OTHERS IN

DISCIPLING, OTHERS IT'S

PROFESSIONALLY, WE'RE STILL

CONNECTING. WE TEXT, AMANDA, IN

DALLAS REGULARLY. THEY'RE

REALLY PART OF "THE CHOSEN"

FAMILY NOW.

Reporter: THAT'S AMAZING.

WHAT ARE YOU, LIKE, MOST

EXCITED ABOUT FOR THE FUTURE OF

"THE CHOSEN"?

I'M EXCITED TRULY TO PARTNER

WITH CHURCHES. I WOULD SAY 50%

OF OUR AUDIENCE IS DESPERATE

FOR US TO TAKE THE PLACE IN THE

CHURCH, LIKE THEY WANT TO BE,

LIKE, THIS SHOW IS ENOUGH, AND

THEN HALF OF OUR AUDIENCE

PETRIFIED THAT WE ACTUALLY

WILL. WE WILL NEVER TAKE THE

PLACE OF THE CHURCH. THE CHURCH

IS THE BODY OF CHRIST. IT IS

IMPERATIVE, AND WE ARE HERE TO

SUPPORT THE CHURCH, AND WE ARE

HERE TO EQUIP AND JUST BE A

TOOL AND AN ASSET, TO REALLY

COME ALONGSIDE THE TRUE GIANTS,

THE TRUE ONES IN THE TRENCHES

DOING THE WORK, THAT'S WHAT I'M

REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT. I'M

PASSIONATE ABOUT DISCIPLESHIP.

Reporter: THAT'S AWESOME.

AND IT COULD START WITH "THE

CHOAPS CHOSEN," SURE, IN TERMS

OF JOURNEY, BUT IT CAN'T EVER

FINISH WITH "THE CHOSEN," AND

THAT'S WHERE WE ARE CONSTANTLY

GOING TO GO. THE CHURCH ARE

TRUE HEROS. HOW DO WE HELP YOU,

HOW DO WE SUPPORT YOU IF AT

ALL? I AM PERSONALLY VERY

EXCITED.

FOR TALKING WITH ME. THANK YOU

FOR INVITING US HERE.

THANK YOU.

FASCINATING TO SEE A

DECISION TO DO SOMETHING LIKE

THIS AND THEN FOLLOW UP ON IT,

AND WONDERFUL TO SEE THE IMPACT

OF THE REAL STORY OF JESUS ON

PEOPLE. WELL, TICKET SALES FOR

THE SEASON THREE THEATRICAL

RELEASE OF "THE CHOSEN" ARE

AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW. FOR

INFORMATION ON BUYING TICKETS,

YOU CAN GO TO CBNNEWS.COM.

YOU'LL FIND A LINK THERE. THE

FIRST TWO EPISODES WILL PREMIER

IN THEATERS NATIONWIDE ON

NOVEMBER 18th. AND I THINK

THERE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE

A LOT OF PEOPLE TO HEAD TO THE

THEATER TO SEE THAT ON THE BIG

SCREEN.

YEAH. IT'S GOING TO BE A BIG

EVENT. AND THEN THE BIGGER

EVENT IS THE RELEASE OF ALL THE

SEASON THREE ON YOUTUBE. THAT'S

THEIR PRIMARY VEHICLE FOR THIS.

AND IT'LL GO AROUND THE WORLD.

AND WILL A BILLION PEOPLE SEE

IT? THAT'S MY PRAYER. CAN WE

HAVE 2 BILLION PEOPLE SEE IT?

CAN WE HAVE THE WHOLE WORLD SEE

IT? THAT WOULD BE A WONDERFUL

THING.

> HERE'S A WORK FROM THE

GOSPEL OF JOHN, IF YOU ABIDE IN

ME AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU,

YOU WILL ASK WHAT YOU DESIRE,

AND IT SHALL BE DONE FOR YOU.

GOD BLESS YOU. WE'LL SEE YOU
