> TODAY.

I HAVE TO GET HIM TO THE

HOSPITAL RIGHT AWAY.

A YOUNG BOY WITH A TRIPLE

INFECTION. TEN MINUTES GO BY

WITHOUT OXYGEN.

HE'S NOT BREATHING, WE DON'T

HAVE A PULSE.

ONE FATHER'S PRAYER AND HIS

PROMISE FROM GOD.

HE IS GOING TO BE HEALED AND

I DON'T WANT YOU TO BACK OFF

THAT. IT WAS JESUS. HE'S THE

ONE THAT BROUGHT HIM BACK.

> WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

MIKE PENCE SAYS IT'S UP TO THE

VOTERS TO DECIDE WHO THE

PARTY'S NEXT CANDIDATE FOR

PRESIDENT WILL BE.

PENCE SPOKE CANDIDLY ABOUT

HIS FAITH, HIS RELATIONSHIP

WITH FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND

THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6th. HE

WRITES ABOUT ALL THREE IN HIS

NEW BOOK, "SO HELP ME GOD."

HERE'S POLITICAL ANALYST DAVID

BRODY.

Reporter: THE MUSEUM OF THE

BIBLE SEEMED A PERFECT VENUE TO

SIT DOWN WITH MIKE PENCE. THE

FORMER VICE PRESIDENT PUTS HIS

FAITH AS THE CORNER STONE OF

HIS LIFE'S JOURNEY.

THE BIBLE SAYS REMEMBER THE

ROCK FROM WHICH YOU WERE HEWN

AND IN MY JOURNEY, OF COURSE MY

PERSONAL DECISION TO PUT MY

FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST.

Reporter: AND HE'S RELIED ON

HIS FAITH EVER SINCE, THROUGH

POLITICAL LOSSES AND

UNCERTAINTY LIKE INFERTILITY

ISSUES IN HIS MARRIAGE. THERE

IS A SPECIFIC BIBLE PASSAGE IN

EACH PENCE HOME.

FOR US, JEREMIAH 29: 11,

WHILE OUR PLANS HAD BEEN

DIFFERENT EARLY ON, AND WE'D

RUN INTO SOME BUMPS IN THE ROAD

AND DISAPPOINTMENTS THAT, AS

THE BIBLE SAYS, GOD TELLS US, I

KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU,

PLANS TO PROSPER YOU AND NOT TO

HARM YOU, GIVE YOU HOPE FOR THE

FUTURE.

Reporter: AND HIS FUTURE WAS

BRIGHT, BECOMING VICE PRESIDENT

BESIDE DONALD TRUMP. IT LOOKED

LIKE A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN.

THEN CAME JANUARY 6th. PENCE

DETAILS HOW DESPITE CALLS FOR

HIM TO STEP IN AND SEND

ELECTORS BACK TO THE STATES, HE

KNEW HE COULDN'T DO THAT.

FROM EARLY ON WHEN MY ROLE

BEGAN TO EMERGE, AS A STUDENT

OF THE AMERICAN FOUNDRY, IT

MADE NO SENSE TO ME WHATSOEVER.

THERE'S NO PROVISION IN THE

CONSTITUTION FOR RETURNING

VOTES TO STATES. IT'S NEVER

CONTEMPLATED.

Reporter: HE DOES BELIEVE

THE JANUARY 6th COMMITTEE

FAILED IN THOROUGHLY

INVESTIGATING THE EVENTS OF

THAT DAY.

DO YOU THINK THEY HAD

INCITEMENT THAT DAY? DO YOU

THINK IT SHOULD BE

INVESTIGATED?

I THINK THE FACT THAT THE

JANUARY 6th COMMITTEE WAS

ENTIRELY APPOINTED BY THE

DEMOCRAT SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE

WAS A MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR

THE COUNTRY. I THOUGHT THE

OPPORTUNITY HERE TO REALLY LOOK

AT WHAT OCCURRED THAT DAY IN

THE BROADEST POSSIBLE SWEEP

WOULD HAVE BEEN WELCOME TO DO

THAT ABOVE POLITICS.

Reporter: THE MAJOR

DISAPPOINTMENT WITH PENCE IS

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS

RELATIONSHIP WITH FORMER

PRESIDENT TRUMP. THE DEMANDS

THAT DAY MADE HIM A TARGET.

I WAS ANGRY THAT DAY AND THE

DAYS THAT FOLLOWED. AS A

CHRISTIAN, FORGIVENESS IS NOT

OPTIONAL. I PRAYED FOR THE

GRACE TO FORGIVE THE PRESIDENT.

I SENSED HE WAS DEEPLY

REMORSEFUL ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED

JANUARY 6th AND THE WEEKS THAT

FOLLOWED. THE PRESIDENT

RETURNED TO THE SAME RHETORIC

HE WAS USING IN DAYS LEADING UP

TO THAT TRAGIC DAY, AND I

THOUGHT IT WAS BEST WE GO OUR

SEPARATE WAYS, AND WE HAVE.

Reporter: AND PENCE SAYS

IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE.

IS THIS DONALD TRUMP'S PARTY

OR DO YOU BELIEVE THAT IS AN

OUTSTANDING QUESTION AT THIS

POINT? DONALD TRUMP SEES IT AS

HIS PARTY.

I THINK THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

BELONGS TO THE REPUBLICAN

VOTERS. I THINK THE FORMER

PRESIDENT IS A LEADER IN THE

PARTY, AN IMPORTANT VOICE IN

THE PARTY. I HAVE GREAT

CONFIDENCE THAT REPUBLICAN

PRIMARY VOTERS WILL DO LIKE

THEY HAVE DONE BEFORE, AND THEY

WILL CHOOSE THE RIGHT STANDARD

FOR THIS MOMENT IN HISTORY.

Reporter: AND THOUGH HE'S

SEEN AS A LEADER IN THE PARTY,

HE'S NOT THE FORCE HE USED TO

BE.

I SENSE PEOPLE LONG FOR THE

KIND OF LEADERSHIP THAT COULD

UNITE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

AROUND OUR HIGHEST IDEALS,

INCLUDING CIVILITY AND RESPECT.

Reporter: WHILE QUALITIES

LIKE CIVILITY AND RESPECT ARE

IMPORTANT, PENCE LEANS ON THE

LESSONS HE LEARNED FROM HIS

FATHER, A DECORATED KOREAN WAR

VETERAN WHO TAUGHT HIS SON

ABOUT FAITH, FAMILY AND HARD

WORK. IN HIS 20s, PENCE LOST

HIS FATHER AND NEVER GOT TO SAY

GOOD-BYE.

WALKING IN THE HOSPITAL

DOOR, SEEING MY MOM IN THE

WAITING ROOM, STANDING UP AND

SAYING TO ME, DAD'S GONE. WORST

MOMENT OF MY LIFE. BUT THE

GREAT THING ABOUT A GREAT DAD

IS THEY NEVER REALLY LEAVE YOU.

Reporter: AND HIS FAVORITE

SONG IS "THAT'S LIFE."

IT WAS HIS FAVORITE SONG. WE

HAVE LISTENED TO IT OVER AND

OVER.

Reporter: IT'S ALL ABOUT

RESILIENCE, PICKING YOURSELF

UP, AND GETTING BACK IN THE

RACE. PRETTY APPROPRIATE AFTER

WHAT HAPPENED JANUARY 6th.

THAT'S THE WAY I WAS RAISED,

NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER STOP, AND

I PROMISE YOU I'LL NEVER STOP

FIGHTING FOR THE CONSERVATIVE

VALUES THAT CALL ME INTO

SERVICE. I'M GOING TO FOLLOW

THE CALLING WHEREVER IT LEADS.

Reporter: CLEARLY MIKE

PENCE'S STORY HAS MANY

UNWRITTEN CHAPTERS AHEAD. DAVID

BRODY IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

AND MIKE PENCE, WE'LL HEAR

MORE FROM HIM IN THE COMING

MONTHS. HIS NEW BOOK IS CALLED

"SO HELP ME GOD" AND IT'S

AVAILABLE WHEREVER BOOKS ARE

SOLD.

> THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

ORDERED A REVIEW OF THE

SECURITY OF AMERICA'S POWER

GRID. JOHN JESSUP HAS THAT

STORY FROM WASHINGTON.

Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT, THE

REVIEW COMES AFTER THE RECENT

ATTACK ON TWO NORTH CAROLINA

POWER SUBSTATIONS. THE

SHOOTINGS DAMAGED EQUIPMENT AND

LEFT MORE THAN 45,000 CUSTOMERS

WITHOUT POWER. THE ORDER

DIRECTS OFFICIALS TO STUDY THE

EXISTING RELIABILITY STANDARDS

FOR THE SECURITY OF THE POWER

GRID AND SEE IF THEY NEED TO BE

IMPROVED. TRANSFORMERS ARE

HIGHLY VISIBLE IN THOUSANDS OF

LOCATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY

AND CONSIDERED VERY VULNERABLE

TO AN ATTACK. OFFICIALS ARE

LIKELY TO RECOMMEND CHANGES

LIKE HIGH DEFINITION CAMERAS,

24-HOUR SURVEILLANCE OR OTHER

LAWS.

> THE MASSIVE STORM SYSTEM

THAT HIT MUCH OF THE COUNTRY

THIS WEEK IS NOW BRINGING SNOW

TO THE NORTHEAST. PARTS OF NEW

YORK AND NEW ENGLAND COULD GET

UP TO TWO FEET. RIGHT NOW,

SNOW, RAIN AND ICE ARE COVERING

HIGHWAYS IN DOZENS OF STATES.

PEOPLE AREN'T USED TO IT AND

THEY THINK THEY CAN DRIVE THE

SAME THEY ALWAYS DO, SO WE HAVE

A LOT OF VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD.

Reporter: OTHERS ARE

CLEANING UP FROM THE SNOW THAT

HIT EARLIER THIS WEEK. THE

SYSTEM PRODUCED 56 TORNADOES IN

THE SOUTH, KILLING AT LEAST

THREE PEOPLE AND DAMAGING

MULTIPLE HOMES.

> TikTok IS NOW THE COUNTRY'S

MOST POPULAR SOCIAL MEDIA APP

AND POTENTIALLY THE MOST

DANGEROUS DUE TO ITS CONNECTION

TO CHINA. SEVERAL STATES HAVE

BANNED PUBLIC EMPLOYEES FROM

USING IT AND LAWMAKERS IN

WASHINGTON ARE TAKING ACTION AS

WELL, WITH THE SENATE APPROVING

A MEASURE THIS WEEK TO BAN IT

FROM GOVERNMENT DEVICES .

Reporter: CONGRESSIONAL

LEADERS ARE ARGUING TikTok IS

ADDICTING USERS, AND POSING A

THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY.

WE RECOGNIZE AND UNDERSTAND

THAT THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT IS

USING THIS APP TO COLLECT DATA

ON CITIZENS HERE IN OUR

COUNTRY. THEY CAN EVEN ACCESS

PERSONAL INFORMATION, GET

ACCESS TO OUR FINANCIAL

INSTITUTIONS, AND IT IS A

CYBERSECURITY THREAT THAT WE

NEED TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST.

Reporter: SEVEN GOVERNORS

HAVE BARRED GOVERNMENT

EMPLOYEES FROM USING TikTok ON

GOVERNMENT DEVICES.

IF A STATE EMPLOYEE DOES

DOWNLOAD IT OR ACCESS IT, IT

WILL BE A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

Reporter: AND IT'S GAINING

TRACTION AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.

HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK

COMMUNIST CHINA SHOULD KNOW

EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR MOVEMENT,

YOUR INFORMATION, ANYTHING

ABOUT YOU?

Reporter: AND IT'S NOT JUST

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES TARGETED.

EVERYONE WRIGHT IS FAIR GAME

FOR CHINA'S PLAY BOOK.

WAKE UP. COULD BE CHINESE

DRONES OR TIKTOK. THE

GOVERNMENT OF CHINA HAS DECIDED

TO BE OUR ADVERSARY. THEY HAVE

DECIDED TO BUILD A MILITARY TO

DEFEAT US.

Reporter: THE LAWMAKERS

WANT A NATIONWIDE BAN AGAINST

TIKTOK.

COMPANIES UNDER THE CONTROL

OF THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY

SHOULD NOT HAVE ACCESS TO

PRIVATE DATA OF MILLIONS OF

AMERICANS THAT THEY CAN USE

AGAINST US.

Reporter: THERE COULD BE

PUSHBACK FROM OFFICIALS WHO

WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE

APP'S MASSIVE REACH.

MIDTERMS, AMY KLOBUCHAR AND

STACEY ABRAMS DOING TikTok

DANCES WITH USERS. THEY DON'T

WANT TO BAN THIS BECAUSE IT'S

POLITICALLY CONVENIENT TO HAVE

IT AT THEIR DISPOSAL.

Reporter: AND IT COULD BE

HARD TO TELL IF YOUR

SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE GRAB. JUST

DELETE THE APP OR POSSIBLY GET

A NEW PHONE.

IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT

PARENTS' WORK MATERIALS AND

THINGS AREN'T AT RISK. IT'S

CRITICAL TO REMOVE THIS FROM

YOUR FAMILY'S TECH SPHERE. GET

IT OUT OF YOUR FAMILY'S HOME.

Reporter: BRODIE CARTER, CBN

NEWS.

ON THE SURFACE IT SEEMS

HARMLESS AND ENTERTAINING BUT

THERE ARE BIG CONCERNS THERE.

IT IS ENCOURAGING WE ARE

SEEING POLITICIANS TRYING TO

WORK TOGETHER ON THIS, AND THEY

SHOULD. THE PARENT COMPANY HAS

TO REPORT THE DATA TO THE

COMMUNIST PARTY. THAT'S A SCARY

PREMISE. FOR THE POPULARITY OF

THE APP, IT WILL BE DIFFICULT

TO BAN IT, AND ESPECIALLY FOR

SOME POLITICIANS IN THE

ELECTION CYCLE, THEY DON'T WANT

TO ABANDON THIS OPPORTUNITY TO

REACH MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. IF

IT'S IN YOUR FAMILY, PLEASE

CHECK OUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH

YOUR KIDS' USE.

> COMING UP, GASPING FOR AIR

AND NO PULSE. THAT'S HOW THIS

MAN FOUND HIS 18-MONTH-OLD

NEPHEW IN HIS CRIB. THAT'S

COMING UP NEXT. AND MAKING IT

EASIER, FASTER AND SAFER FOR

MORE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO

CROSS THE SOUTHERN BORDER.

DETAILS AFTER THIS.

> THERE'S BEEN ABOUT FIVE OR

SIX RANCHES ALONG THE BORDER

HERE CLOSE THAT HAVE BEEN

BOUGHT BY THE CARTELS. THEY ARE

CARRYING PEOPLE AND DRUGS OUT

OF THERE.

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS

ADMITTING IF TITLE 42 GOES

AWAY, THERE COULD BE 9,000 TO

14,000 ENCOUNTERS PER DAY AT

THE BORDER.

Reporter: AS THE NUMBERS

CONTINUE TO SWELL, THE BIDEN

ADMINISTRATION FOUND A WAY TO

REDUCE THE NUMBERS, AT LEAST ON

PAPER. FOR EXAMPLE, THESE ARE

BEING ROUTED TO A LITTLE KNOWN

PROGRAM DESIGNED TO HELP PEOPLE

WITH SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

TECHNICALLY, IT REDUCES THE

NUMBERS OF ILLEGAL CROSSERS

BECAUSE THESE ARE PREAPPROVED

BEFORE REACHING THE BORDER AND

TRANSPORTED INTO THE U.S. AT

TAXPAYER EXTENSE. BACK IN

MARCH, ABOUT 6 MILLION PEOPLE

WERE FORCED TO LEAVE UKRAINE

BECAUSE OF RUSSIA'S INVASION

AND 4,000 OF THOSE CAME TO THE

UNITED STATES. THE SPECIAL

PROGRAM IS SPECIFICALLY FOR

PEOPLE WITH URGENT AND

TEMPORARY NEEDS FOR ASYLUM. NOW

IT'S BEING EXPANDED TO INCLUDE

PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD,

EVEN ECONOMIC MIGRANTS.

THERE ARE MANY PROGRAMS THEY

ARE ABUSING THEIR AUTHORITY.

THEY ARE TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE

A MASS FLOW OF MIGRATION UNDER

THE GUISE OF LEGALITY. THE

HUMANITARIAN ROLE IS SUPPOSED

TO TO BE GIVEN TO ONE PERSON

HERE AND THERE ON A CASE BY

CASE OPTION.

Reporter: THE HOMELAND

SECURITY WEBSITE CALLS THE

PROGRAM AN ADVANCED TRAVEL

AUTHORIZATION, AND IT STARTED

IN LATE OCTOBER. THIS STATES

PAROLE IS GENERALLY NOT

INTENDED TO BE USED TO AVOID

NORMAL REFUGEE PROCESSING OR

PROVIDE PROTECTION TO THOSE

AROUND THE WORLD. BUT THAT'S

EXACTLY HOW IT'S BEING APPLIED.

AN AMERICAN NONPROFITS ARE

DOWN THERE IN FORCE HELPING

THESE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE

QUICKLY GET THE PAPERWORK THAT

THEY NEED, AND THEY ARE

APPLYING THAT TO MASSES OF

PEOPLE ALL AT ONCE. IN ORDER TO

QUALIFY FOR HUMANITARIAN

PAROLE, PRETTY MUCH WHAT YOU

NEED TO DO IS JUST GIVE THEM A

TALE OF WOE OF SOME KIND OR SAY

THAT YOU'RE GAY OR SAY THAT YOU

WERE LIVING IN AN AREA WHERE

THERE WAS CARTEL SHOOTING, AND

THEN THE MEXICANS WILL PUT THEM

IN FEDERAL BUSES, DRIVE THEM TO

THE NEAREST PORT OF ENTRY AND

WALK THEM ACROSS. YOU CAN'T SEE

IT ON THE DRONES AND YOU CAN'T

SEE IT IN THE STATISTICS PAGE.

Reporter: ONCE IN AMERICA,

THEY ARE RELEASED TO SEEK WORK

AND PUT THEIR KIDS IN SCHOOL

AND START NEW LIVES. UNLIKE THE

UKRAINIANS WHO RECEIVED

HUMANITARIAN PAROLE, MOST OF

THESE HAVE NO PLANS TO RETURN

TO HOME.

THIS IS A DE FACTO AMNESTY,

DE FACTO ASYLUM, DE FACTO

ILLEGAL ENTRY INTO AMERICA.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE

DON'T SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING TO

THIS COUNTRY. THEY HAVE US

SHAKING OUR HEADS AND WONDERS

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

THEIR IDEA IS, WE DON'T WANT

TO STOP, BLOCK AND DETER. WE

WANT TO MAKE IT SMOOTHER AND

EASIER AND FASTER AND SAFER SO

MORE PEOPLE WILL WANT TO COME.

THE ADMINISTRATION IS NOT

WORKING FOR US. THEY ARE TRYING

TO TEAR THIS COUNTRY APART.

IF YOU THOUGHT THE CURRENT

ADMINISTRATION WAS IGNORING THE

CRISIS AT THE BORDER, YOU'VE

BEEN WRONG. THIS NEW LOOPHOLE

SEEMINGLY ADDS A BURDEN

FINANCIALLY TO THE AMERICAN

TAXPAYER. WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT

THIS A LITTLE BIT. THINK OF ALL

THE FOLKS TRYING TO GET INTO

THE COUNTRY LEGALLY FOR YEARS,

AND THEY SEE WHAT'S GOING ON AT

THE BORDER, AND THEY MIGHT

ABANDON DOING IT LEGALLY AT

THIS POINT.

YOU WONDER, BECAUSE IT'S NOT

EASY TO GET INTO THIS COUNTRY

LEGALLY. MANY PEOPLE HAVE PAID

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND WAITED

A LONG, LONG TIME TO GET

CITIZENSHIP. IT WOULD BE NICE

IF THEY REFORMED THE SYSTEM.

> UP NEXT, BLIND AND UNABLE

TO SPEAK OR MOVE, THIS CHILD

SUFFERED SIGNIFICANT BRAIN

DAMAGE AND NEARLY DIED. WATCH

HOW A SERIES OF MIRACLES LED

HIM TO SEE, WALK AND TALK

AGAIN. PLUS ANDREW AND I WILL

BE PRAYING FOR YOU RIGHT AFTER

THIS.

> PURPLE, NOT BREATHING AND

UNRESPONSIVE. THAT'S HOW SETH

DOHERTY FOUND HIS NEPHEW DAVEY

WHEN HE CHECKED ON HIM IN HIS

CRIB.

IN JULY 2019, MY SISTER

TRAGICALLY PASSED AWAY AND LEFT

BEHIND TWO CHILDREN. ONE WAS 12

WEEKS OLD, ROSIE, AND ONE CHILD

WAS A YEAR AND A HALF, LITTLE

DAVEY. WE HAD THEM FOR ABOUT

THREE MONTHS AND THEN MY NOW

EX-WIFE, SHE LEFT. THE DECISION

WAS MADE ABOUT MAYBE FOUR, FIVE

MONTHS LATER THAT I WAS GOING

TO RAISE THE KIDS BY MYSELF AND

BE A SINGLE FATHER. RIGHT

AROUND JANUARY OF 2020, DAVEY

DEVELOPED THIS LITTLE COUGH. I

DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. THE

NEXT DAY, IT WAS JUST SPENDING

TIME WITH GOD AND I GOT LIKE

THIS CHECK IN MY SPIRIT, LIKE I

THINK I SHOULD GO CHECK ON HIM.

SO I GO UPSTAIRS AND SEE HIM IN

HIS CRIB, AND HE IS COMPLETELY

PURPLE AND GASPING FOR AIR. I

JUST STARTED PRAYING OVER HIM

AND JUST SORT OF GO INTO TUNNEL

VISION WHERE I KNOW I HAVE TO

GET HIM TO THE HOSPITAL RIGHT

AWAY. I RUN HIM INTO THE ER AND

I'M JUST SITTING THERE PRAYING.

I HEAR THE DOCTOR SAYING, HE'S

NOT BREATHING, WE DON'T HAVE A

PULSE. I'M PRAYING, IN JESUS'

NAME, BRING HIM BACK. I HEAR,

HE'S BREATHING, WE HAVE A

PULSE! I JUST START CRYING AND

I'M JUST SO OVERWHELMED. I WAS

RIDING WITH HIM IN THE

AMBULANCE ON THE WAY TO THE

HOSPITAL AND GOD IS MINISTERING

TO ME AND GIVES ME PSALM 27: I

WOULD HAVE LOST HEART UNLESS I

KNEW THAT I WOULD SEE THE

GOODNESS OF THE LORD IN THE

LAND OF THE LIVING. I WAS

DECLARING THAT OVER HIM,

BELIEVING THAT HE WAS GOING TO

SEE THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD

AND HE IS GOING TO BE HEALED.

WE GET TO THE HOSPITAL AND THE

DIAGNOSIS COMES IN AT CHKD THAT

HE HAD THE FLU, CORONAVIRUS AND

BACTERIAL INFECTION IN HIS

THROAT. HIS LUNGS WERE WORKING

SO HARD HIS HEART HAS SHUT

DOWN. THE NURSE IS ASKING ME,

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW LONG

HE PROBABLY WASN'T HAVING

OXYGEN TO HIS BRAIN. I SAID,

PROBABLY CLOSE TO TEN MINUTES.

SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, YOU

KNOW, IF YOU HADN'T BROUGHT HIM

TO THE HOSPITAL LIKE YOU DID,

HE WOULDN'T BE HERE RIGHT NOW.

I JUST BROKE DOWN AND STARTED

CRYING. I SAID, IT WAS JESUS.

HE WAS THE ONE WHO BROUGHT HIM

BACK. ONE OF THE HARDEST DAYS

BESIDES THE FIRST DAY WAS DAY

FIVE. THAT MORNING, I'D BEEN

DOING MY DEVOTIONS AND THE LORD

WAS JUST SPEAKING TO ME AND

SAYING THAT TODAY, I DON'T WANT

YOU TO PAY SO MUCH ATTENTION TO

WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THE

DOCTORS SAYING. IT'S ONLY A

FRACTION OF WHAT'S REALLY GOING

ON. YOU KNOW MY WORD, THAT I

SAID HE IS GOING TO BE HEALED.

I DON'T WANT TO BACK OFF THAT.

I MET WITH THE NEUROLOGIST.

THEY HAD PULLED HIM OFF THE

VENTILATOR. HE WAS BLIND,

COULDN'T EAT ON HIS OWN. THE

NEUROLOGIST SAID THERE HAS BEEN

SIGNIFICANT BRAIN DAMAGE. WE DO

NOT KNOW IF HE WILL EVER

RECOVER. WE'LL HAVE TO MONITOR

HIM FOR SIX MONTHS IN THE

HOSPITAL JUST TO SEE WHAT'S

GOING TO HAPPEN. I JUST HELD

HIM IN MY ARMS AND WE JUST

PLAYED WORSHIP MUSIC IN THAT

ROOM, AND I WAS PRAYING AND

DECLARING HEALING OVER HIM. WE

WORSHIPED IN THE ROOM FOR LIKE

AN HOUR WITH HIS BASICALLY

LIFELESS BODY OVER ME. I'M JUST

LIKE, WE ARE GOING TO SEE THIS

THING HAPPEN. TRANSFERRED TO

THE NEUROLOGY UNIT AND EVERY

DAY OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS WE

SAW MIRACLES HAPPEN. YOU KNOW,

HE STARTED EATING ON HIS OWN.

I'M GETTING TO FEED HIM MASHED

POTATOES. ONCE HE STARTED

EATING, HE STARTED COMING

ALIVE. IT'S LIKE, HE LOVES

FOOD. YOU COULD SEE HIS LIFE

COMING BACK TO HIM. WE WEREN'T

SURE WHAT HE WAS GOING TO

REMEMBER BECAUSE OF THE BRAIN

INJURY. WE WERE ASKING

QUESTIONS JUST TO SEE, YOU

KNOW, WOULD HE RESPOND. I SAY,

DAVEY, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING

ABOUT? IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE WE

HAVE THIS CAT, AND HE LOVES THE

CAT. IT'S THIS BIG FLUFFY TABBY

CAT. AND HE SAYS HAT BECAUSE HE

COULDN'T SAY THE C. HE TURNED

TOWARDS ME AND SMILED AND GOES,

HAT. I'M LIKE, I JUST LOST IT.

I'M LIKE CRYING NEXT TO THE

BED, BECAUSE AS SOON AS HE SAID

THAT WORD, I KNEW IT WAS HIM.

IT WAS HIS PERSONALITY. LIKE

DAVEY REMEMBERS. FROM THAT

POINT ON, THE NEXT DAY HE SAID

A LOT OF WORDS. AND THEN HE'S

ABLE TO RESPOND TO COMMANDS,

STARTS MOVING ON HIS OWN. A

COUPLE DAYS LATER HE'S ABLE TO

STAND UP ON HIS OWN FOR THE

FIRST TIME. THEN HE'S WALKING.

IT'S LIKE AS SOON AS SOMETHING

HAPPENED, IT WAS LIKE HIS BRAIN

WAS JUST TOUCHED BY THE LORD

AND HEAD START DOING THAT THING

AGAIN. ABOUT TWO WEEKS IN, HE

STILL ISN'T SEEING. THAT WAS

ONE OF THE LAST THINGS. HE WAS

TALKING, KIND OF WALKING,

MOVING AROUND. BUT MY DAD WAS

READING HIM A BOOK AND SUDDENLY

HE STARTS POINTING AT PICTURES

AND SAYING WHAT STUFF WAS IN

THE BOOK. IT WAS LIKE THE

LIGHTS TURNED BACK ON AND HIS

SIGHT WAS RETURNED TO HIM.

AFTER HE WAS ABLE TO SEE, HE

WAS IN THE REHAB ROOM AT THAT

POINT. HE'D LIKE RUN TO ESCAPE

AND THEY COULDN'T KEEP HIM IN

THE ROOM. SO THE DOCTORS WERE

LIKE, WE JUST NEED TO DISCHARGE

HIM. AFTER THE DIAGNOSIS OF SIX

MONTHS, WE'LL SEE, TWO WEEKS

LATER HE WALKED OUT OF THAT

HOSPITAL LIKE NOTHING EVEN

HAPPENED. I HAD ENTERED THE

PERFECT STORM WITH MY SISTER

PASSING AWAY, WITH MY WIFE

LEAVING ME, AND THEN DAVEY

NEARLY DYING. WITHOUT MY

RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS, I KNOW

I WOULD HAVE WENT TO THE MENTAL

HOSPITAL. I CAN TELL YOU THAT

WHEN YOU TAKE THINGS DAY BY DAY

AND YOU SURRENDER WHATEVER

YOU'RE GOING THROUGH TO THE

LORD AND TRULY HAND IT OVER TO

HIM, HE WILL GIVE YOU THE

AMAZING EXCHANGE WHERE HE TAKES

ALL YOUR FEAR AND ANXIETY, AND

GIVES YOU HIS PEACE.

THAT IS QUITE AN EXCHANGE,

DON'T YOU THINK? GOD WANTS US

TO GIVE HIM ALL THE PAIN, THE

HURT, THE LOSS. AND IN RETURN,

HIS VERY PRESENCE IN US GIVES

US PEACE, REPLACES OUR HOPE,

AND JOY COMES BACK AGAIN. THIS

IS THE TIME OF YEAR WHEN MANY

PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING. TODAY WE

WANT TO PRAY FOR THOSE OF YOU

WHO ARE STRUGGLING, BECAUSE

GOD'S JOY IS OUR STRENGTH. WE

NEED TO HAVE IT. IT'S AVAILABLE

AND IT'S FREE. GOD SEES YOU AND

HE KNOWS YOUR NAME. HE WANTS TO

STEP RIGHT INTO THE MIDST OF

YOUR CIRCUMSTANCE AND MAKE A

DIFFERENCE. AND THE ANSWER TO

OUR PRAYER ISN'T ALWAYS WHAT WE

ASKED FOR, BUT GOD IS ALWAYS

WHAT WE NEED. HE IS SO

FAITHFUL. TODAY WE WANT TO PRAY

FOR YOU AND YOUR NEEDS. MANY OF

YOU HAVE FILLED OUT AND SENT US

YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS, SO WE ARE

PRAYING EVERY DAY FOR PEOPLE

WHO HAVE SENT THESE BACK.

SOMEONE IS ASKING TO BE HEALED

OF LEUKEMIA, ANOTHER SAYING I

NEED FINANCES TO PAY MY

MORTGAGE. ANOTHER SAYS I'M

PRAYING FOR THE SALVATION OF MY

CHILDREN AND FUTURE SPOUSES.

AND WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO

NEEDS HEALING FROM MY EYES, I

DON'T WANT TO GO BLIND. SOMEONE

ASKING FOR PRAYER FOR THE

NATION, THAT WE BE UNITED.

SOMEONE SAYING I NEED TO BE

DELIVERED FROM ALCOHOLISM. WE

ARE GOING TO PRAY FOR YOU RIGHT

NOW AND PLEASE JOIN WITH US. WE

ARE GOING TO THE LORD WITH OUR

NEEDS AND ADORATION FOR HIM.

LORD, WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR

LOVE. MANY ARE STRUGGLING, MANY

ARE WEAK. PSALM 61 SAYS YOU ARE

OUR STRENGTH, YOU ARE OUR

REFUGE, OUR STRONG TOWER. WE

COME TO YOU, LORD, GOD. I READ

THIS PRAYER REQUESTS FOR THOSE

STRUGGLING WITH ALCOHOLISM. I

FEEL LIKE YOU'RE SPEAKING, THAT

SOME WHO HAVE TRIED TO OVERCOME

ALCOHOLISM HAVE BEEN DOING IT

IN THEIR OWN EFFORTS AND THEIR

OWN STRENGTH, AND YOU WANT TO

BE INVITED INTO THE PROCESS OF

OVERCOMING ALCOHOL ADDICTION.

RIGHT NOW IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING

WITH ADDICTION TO ALCOHOL,

RAISE YOUR HANDS AND INVITE THE

LORD IN. PURSUE RIGHTEOUSNESS,

PURSUE GOD, PURSUE THE LORD. HE

LOVES YOU AND WILL WELCOME YOU

WITH A SWEET EMBRACE AND GUIDE

YOU THROUGH BREAKING THE BONDS

OF ADDICTION IN JESUS' NAME.

THIS IS SUCH A FAMILY TIME

AND FAMILY SEASON, AND THERE

ARE SO MANY I KNOW WHO ARE

PRAYING RIGHT NOW FOR THEIR

CHILDREN, FOR GRANDCHILDREN WHO

ARE NOT WALKING WITH THE LORD.

GOD, WE ARE ASKING YOU TO

INTERVENE IN THESE SITUATIONS.

WE ARE ASKING YOU TO SEND OUT

THE HOLY SPIRIT, TO GO AFTER

THOSE WHO ARE SEARCHING FOR

THINGS IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES.

GOD, MAKE YOURSELF REAL. MAKE

YOURSELF REAL. TO THOSE WOE

HOLD UP BEFORE YOU, GOD, YOU

SAID WE AND OUR HOUSEHOLDS

WOULD BE SAVED AND WE LIFT THE

HOUSEHOLDS UP ON THE ALTAR AND

ASK YOU TO GO RIGHT WHERE THEY

ARE AND SPEAK TO THEIR HEARTS.

AND I WAS SENSING SOMEONE

SAY, YES, LORD, GO AFTER MY ONE

THAT'S WANDERED AWAY. WE PRAY

FOR YOUR GRACE AND MERCY. AS

YOU CALL PEOPLE HOME, AND IN

FELLOWSHIP WITH YOU AND THEIR

FAMILIES, THANK YOU FOR YOUR

GRACE AND MERCY. THERE'S A

PASTOR WHO FEELS -- PROBABLY

MANY -- FEELS BEATEN DOWN, WEAK

AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND

TAKEN FOR GRANTED. IN THIS

CHRISTMAS SEASON, EVEN TO BE

PREACHING ABOUT THE HOPE OF

CHRISTMAS, THEY ARE JUST NOT

FEELING IT. I FEEL LIKE THE

HOLY SPIRIT IS SAYING, YOU ARE

LOVED, I HEAR YOU, I'M PROUD OF

YOU. YOU HAVE BEEN SERVING ME.

THERE'S AN INTIMACY BETWEEN YOU

AND GOD, AND IT'S A WONDERFUL

CELEBRATION BETWEEN YOU TWO. BE

ENCOURAGED, THE LORD IS WITH

YOU THIS SEASON. THANK YOU LORD

FOR A REJUVENATED SPIRIT FOR

THOSE LEADING OUR CHURCHES.

AND FOR ANYONE SUFFERING

FROM A BLOODIES ORDER AND

LEUKEMIA, I THINK OF HOW JESUS

YOUR BLOOD SETS US FREE. SET

THOSE FREE STRUGGLING

PHYSICALLY WITH BLOOD

DISORDERS. YOU'RE THE CREATOR

OF ALL THAT IS. WOULD YOU TOUCH

THEM AND SET THEM FREE.

WE PRAY FOR MARRIAGES. SOME

COUPLES ARE WATCHING THIS

PROGRAM TOGETHER, SOME MAYBE

JUST ONE SPOUSE IS WATCHING.

THERE'S TENSION AND

UNFORGIVENESS. WE PRAY FOR

MARRIAGES RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY

THE SPOUSES CRYING OUT FOR YOU

TO INTERVENE IN THEIR

RELATIONSHIP. HELP US FORGIVE

WHERE WE NEED TO FORGIVE AND

SPEAK WHEN IT'S TIME TO SPEAK

AND LISTEN WHEN IT'S TIME TO

LISTEN. LORD GOD CAN WE PUT OUR

SPOUSE FIRST? I PRAY FOR

HEALING AND RECONCILIATION IN

JESUS' NAME. LORD GOD, WE LOVE

YOU AND THERE ARE MANY WATCHING

THE PROGRAM WHO ARE WAITING FOR

TERRY OR I OR SOMEONE IN THIS

PROGRAM TO SAY THEIR NAME OR

GIVE A WORD. THAT IS WONDERFUL

WHEN IT OCCURS. BUT YOU HEAR

AND YOU SPEAK TO EACH PERSON.

SOMETIMES A GENTLE WHISPER,

MAKE US RECEPTIVE AND GIVE US

EARS TO HEAR AND EYES TO SEE

WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR US. IF

YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED A MIRACLE

OR NEED PRAYER, CALL

(800)700-7000. WE'D LOVE TO

HEAR FROM YOU, SO DON'T

HESITATE. (800)700-7000.

SCHOOL CARRYING $18,000 IN

STUDENT LOAN DEBT. HE STARTED

HIS RESIDENCY, MARRIED HIS

FIANC, THEN TWO WEEKS LATER.

I CALLED HER IN THE MORNING

AND TOLD HER I'M IN ICU WITH

ATRIAL FIBRILLATION.

I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT

SHOULD HAPPEN IF HE SHOULD PASS

AWAY.

PEOPLE CAN HAVE THIS AND

HAVE A NORMAL LIFE. THAT EVENT

CREATED MORE TRAUMA IN HER THAN

ME.

Reporter: THEY MOVED FORWARD

AND STARTED THEIR LIFE

TOGETHER.

ON.

Reporter: BY 1993, HE

FINISHED HIS RESIDENCY WITH

ONLY $6,000 LEFT IN STUDENT

DEBT. HIS NEXT STEP WAS TO

BECOME AN ATTENDING SURGEON.

HIS SALARY WENT UP FOUR OR

FIVE TIMES WHAT HE WAS MAKING.

Reporter: OVER THE NEXT FEW

YEARS, WE BOUGHT A HOUSE, I

BOUGHT INTO MY PRACTICE, WE

BOUGHT PROPERTY THAT WE WERE

GOING TO BUILD A HOUSE ON.

WITHIN ABOUT THREE YEARS, WE

WENT FROM $6,000 IN DEBT TO

AROUND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS

IN DEBT.

Reporter: THOUGH HE WAS

SUPPORTING THE FAMILY, CAROLYN

WAS BECOMING CONCERNED ABOUT

THE DEBT THEY WERE RACKING UP.

AS FAR AS I WAS CONCERNED,

WE COULD MAKE THE PAYMENTS SO

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

Reporter: THEIR DEBT BROUGHT

BACK RENEWED FEARS FOR HIS

HEALTH AND LIVELIHOOD.

HE COULD DIE AND I WOULD BE

RESPONSIBLE TO REPAY THE

$500,000, AND WE DO NOT HAVE

$500,000 IN SAVINGS.

Reporter: AT AT A LOSS FOR

WHAT TO DO, CAROLYN TOOK HER

CONCERNS TO GOD.

I PRAYED ABOUT HOW WE COULD

GET OUT OF DEBT AND RAN ACROSS

AND ADVERTISEMENT.

IT SAID WE COULD BE DEBT

FREE IN THREE YEARS. HALF A

MILLION DOLLARS, THAT DIDN'T

MAKE ANY SENSE.

WE STOPPED A LOT OF SAVINGS

AND FUNNELED MONEY TOWARD THE

DEBT, KNOCKED OFF ONE DEBT AT A

TIME.

Reporter: IN THREE AND A

HALF YEARS, THEY PAID OFF HALF

A MILLION DOLLARS OF DEBT.

ALL THROUGH THIS PERIOD WE

WERE GETTING OUT OF DEBT, WE

DIDN'T STOP TITHING. IT BELONGS

TO GOD.

Reporter: AND WITHIN TWO

HOURS OF WRITING A CHECK TO

HELP INDONESIA?

I WENT TO WORK AND SITTING

ON MY DESK WAS A CHECK FROM AN

INVESTMENT I'D MADE, AND I

RECEIVED 30% MORE THAN I GAVE

AWAY. I GOT GOOSE BUMPS.

THAT WAS REALLY EXCITING,

HOW THE LORD GAVE US BACK WAY

MORE THAN WE HAD GIVEN.

Reporter: TODAY THEY HELP

OTHERS LEARN HOW TO BECOME

FINANCIALLY SUCCESSFUL.

WHEN WE TITHE, IT SHOWS GOD

THAT WE LOVE HIM.

90% OF YOUR INCOME PLUS GOD

IS BETTER THAN 100% OF YOUR

INCOME WITHOUT GOD. GIVING

CHANGES YOUR LIFE.

I LOVE THE FAWCETTS, REAL

PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT REAL

PROBLEMS, REAL ISSUES. SOME OF

THE THINGS THERE, I THOUGHT

TITHING WAS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAD

IT ALL TOGETHER. OR IF I'M

BEGINNING TO GIVE, I SHOULDN'T

BE EXPECTED TO TITHE. WE THINK,

I'LL TITHE WHEN I CAN AFFORD

IT. HE THOUGHT THAT I WHAT AND

THEY'RE HALF A MILLION DOLLARS

DEBT. IF ANYONE HAD A REASON

NOT TO GIVE, IT'S HALF A

MILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT. THEN

THEY SEE IT COME BACK TO THEM

AND THOSE ARE KINGDOM

PRINCIPLES, THINGS THAT THE

LORD ORCHESTRATES THAT ARE HARD

TO EXPLAIN. WHEN WE GIVE TO THE

LORD, HE WORKS IN OUR FINANCIAL

SITUATIONS. THE REASON WE GIVE

IS BECAUSE WE WANT TO HELP

OTHER PEOPLE. CBN IS A GREAT

WAY TO DO THAT. IF YOU WOULD

> UP NEXT, THE DAZZLING

CHRISTMAS DISPLAY THAT'S A

WHOLE YEAR IN THE MAKING. SEE

WHY THE WHOLE FAMILY GETS IN ON

THE FUN, AFTER THIS.

> THERE ARE MANY FUN FAMILY

ACTIVITIES OVER THE HOLIDAYS

AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL. THE HOLT

FAMILY GOES OVER THE TOP EVERY

YEAR WITH CHRISTMAS

DECORATIONS, AND IT TAKES THEM

ALL YEAR LONG TO DO THE PREP.

WHAT'S THE REASON BEHIND THE

HOLIDAY DISPLAY? THIS FAMILY

WANTS TO SHED THOUSANDS OF

LIGHTS ON THE REAL MEANING OF

CHRISTMAS.

Reporter: TUCKED AWAY IN THE

OUTSKIRTS OF CHESAPEAKE,

VIRGINIA, THE HOLT FAMILY

LIGHTS.

WE REALLY LOVE PEOPLE THAT

COME DOWN THE STREET EVERY

NIGHT WITH THEIR KIDS AND THEY

DO NOT MISS A NIGHT. THEY SAY,

YOU MAKE OUR SEASON AND YOU'RE

A STOP WE HAVE TO MAKE EVERY

YEAR.

FROM THE TIME I WAS KNEE

HIGH, EVERYBODY USED TO PUT

LIGHTS OUT. WHEN I WAS ABOUT

12, WE REALLY STARTED THE

INFLATABLES .

WHEN ALLEN MOVED OUT, HE

MADE HIS OWN DISPLAY.

I PROBABLY BOUGHT 15 STRANDS

OF LIGHTS. AFTER CHRISTMAS I

GOT BOXES OF LIGHTS AND STARTED

LINING THE HOUSE. IT GREW FROM

THE TINY BOXES OF LIGHTS TO

WHAT YOU SEE NOW.

Reporter: THESE DAYS ALLEN

PRODUCES A LIGHT SHOW WITH A

SNOW MACHINE, DOZENS OF

INFLATABLE CHARACTERS, AND

70,000 LED LIGHTS. IT'S A

PROCESS THAT TAKES TWO WEEKS TO

SET UP AND MONTHS TO PLAN.

FOR ME, CHRISTMAS IS A YEAR

ROUND THING. YOU'RE CREATING

THE PROPS AND OTHER STUFF,

DOING ARCHES AND EVERYTHING

ELSE. WE DO THAT THROUGHOUT THE

YEAR. I'M SITTING THERE IN JUNE

AND JULY PROGRAMMING CHRISTMAS

SONGS.

Reporter: RIGHT BY HIS SIDE

EAGER TO HELP, HIS DAUGHTER

CALLIE.

I GET TO PUT UP THE

INFLATABLES.

DADDY, THIS GUY IS FALLING

OVER.

Reporter: ON WEEKEND NIGHTS

SHE ALSO MANAGES HER OWN SNACK

AND COCOA STAND. EVERY CENT SHE

MAKES GOES TO CHARITY.

TO TEACH HER THE MEANING

IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT RECEIVING

BUT ALSO GIVING. IT MAKES ME

VERY PROUD TO HAVE HER OUT

THERE.

IT MAKES ME HAPPY BECAUSE

PEOPLE NEED MONEY TO BUY STUFF

FOR THEIR CHILDREN.

Reporter: THERE HAVE BEEN

THOUSANDS OF ADMIRERS OVER THE

YEARS, AND THEY SAY IT'S THE

SMILES THAT KEEP THEM GOING.

TO SEE ALL THE PEOPLE, THE

CROWD, THE KIDS THAT YOU GIVE

JOY. WE HAD A GUY THAT WOULD

COME BY EVERY NIGHT AND TAKE A

SELFIE IN FRONT OF THE DISPLAY.

I GOT TO TALKING TO HIM ONE

NIGHT. HIS WIFE WAS BATTLING

CANCER AND SHE COULDN'T GET OUT

OF BED. SO EVERY NIGHT HE'D

COME TAKE A PICTURE OR VIDEO

AND TAKE IT BACK TO HER BECAUSE

IT WAS SOMETHING SHE LOOKED

FORWARD TO. IT'S THOSE KIND OF

STORIES THAT MAKE IT

WORTHWHILE.

Reporter: FOR THE HOLT

FAMILY, THE SEASON IS ALL ABOUT

JOY, AND THEY CAN'T THINK OF A

BETTER WAY TO CELEBRATE THE

REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

CHRISTMAS IS NOT JUST FOR GIFTS

BUT A TIME TO REMEMBER THE

REASON FOR CHRISTMAS. THE BIRTH

OF JESUS, THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL

ABOUT.

I'VE BEEN THERE AND I DIDN'T

KNOW THE FAMILY BEHIND IT. I

REMEMBER MY WIFE SAYING, WE

HAVE TO DRIVE BY THIS HOUSE. I

REMEMBER THAT SO IT'S NICE TO

SEE THE FAMILY BEHIND IT.

AND IT'S ALL DONE THE MUSIC.

AND THERE'S A LINE OF CARS.

I HOPE THE NEIGHBORS HAVE AS

MUCH JOY.

THAT'S A GREAT

CONSIDERATION. WE DIDN'T

INTERVIEW THE NEIGHBORS.

THEY DO A GREAT JOB.

I HAVE TO SAY, MY WIFE DOES

A BEAUTIFUL JOB INSIDE AND

OUTSIDE THE HOUSE FOR

CHRISTMAS. I'M KIND OF THE

HELPER AND SHE'S GIFTED.

I LOVE THE LIGHTS. READY FOR

AN E-MAIL QUESTION?

SURE.

IS IT WRONG TO ASK FOR

HEALING AROUND CHRISTMAS TIME

WHEN WE SHOULD BE THANKING HIM?

SHE WANTS TO BE REVERENT

TOWARD THE LORD AND MAKE THE

SEASON ABOUT JESUS COMING INTO

OUR LIVES, BUT HE WANTS TO HEAR

OUR PETITIONS AND PRAYERS

ALWAYS. THERE ARE SO MANY

SCRIPTURES ABOUT BRINGING

OURSELVES TO THE LORD,

CELEBRATING AT ALL TIMES AND

ALL SEASONS, AND BRINGING YOUR

CONCERNS AT ALL TIMES.

HE KNOWS THEM.

AND IT'S A SPECIAL TIME TO

DO SO. AS WE REFLECT ON THE

GIFT GOD HAS GIVEN US, WHAT A

WAY TO SAY, LORD, IN THE MIDST

OF THIS, YOU CARE FOR MY NEEDS

AND MY STRUGGLES. SO I THINK

THE ANSWER IS AN ABSOLUTE YES.

ALWAYS.

AND WE LEAVE YOU TODAY WITH

THESE WORDS: I AM THE LIGHT OF

THE WORLD. HE WHO FOLLOWS ME

SHALL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS BUT

HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE. THANK

YOU FOR JOINING US TODAY, GOD

BLESS YOU AND MERRY CHRISTMAS.

SEE YOU NEXT TIME ON THE 700
