> COMING UP, HER HUSBAND

WOULDN'T WAKE UP.

HE WOULDN'T RESPOND TO ME.

SHE CHECKED HIS PULSE AND

COULDN'T FIND ONE.

AT THAT MOMENT I THOUGHT HE

WAS HAVING A STROKE.

HER STRUGGLE TO KEEP THEM

ALIVE.

I KNEW I WAS LOSING HIM WITH

EACH MINUTE PASSING BY.

AND THE HELP SHE GOT THAT

SAVED HIS LIFE.

I REMEMBER TALKING TO THE

LORD. THIS IS NOT HOW I WANTED

HIM TO GO.

TODAY ON THE 700 CLUB.

> WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB AND

THANKS FOR JOINING US. LET'S GO

OVER TO THE CBN NEWS DESK FOR

TODAY'S TOP STORIES.

WITH TEMPERATURES RISING,

FOLKS IN THE NORTHEAST ARE

DIGGING OUT FROM THE HISTORIC

WINTER STORM OF THE LAST WEEK

AS AUTHORITIES IN BUFFALO ARE

SEARCHING FOR PEOPLE WHO MAY

HAVE DIED OR ARE STUCK AND

SUFFERING. AND SOME STRANDED

HOLIDAY TRAVELS, HOPING TO COME

HOME BUT SNOW IS BRINGING RAIN

TO THE U.S. GARY LANE HAS THAT

STORY.

Reporter: AS BUFFALO DIGS

OUT FROM THE WORST WINTER STORM

IN DECADES, OFFICIALS THERE,

NOW FEAR THE RISING

TEMPERATURES COULD CAUSE

FLOODING FROM SNOWMELT. AT THE

SAME TIME, PEOPLE IN THE

WESTERN UNITED STATES, AND

DEALING WITH ANOTHER BIG STORM.

THIS ONE BRINGING RAIN TO

CALIFORNIA AND SNOW TO THE

MOUNTAINS OF NEVADA AND UTAH.

IN COLORADO, SLIPPERY ROADS

CAUSED A STRETCH OF I 70 TO

CLOSE FOR NEARLY 10 HOURS

FOLLOWING A SERIES OF

ACCIDENTS. AS ALL OF THAT WAS

HAPPENING, WE ARE LEARNING MORE

ABOUT THE 39 PEOPLE IN WESTERN

NEW YORK WHO PERISHED IN THE

DEADLY CHRISTMAS STORM. PEOPLE

LIKE LYDIA CURRY, WHO DIED

AFTER SUFFERING FROM AN ASTHMA

ATTACK. LIZARD CONDITIONS

PREVENTED RESCUERS FROM

REACHING HER IN TIME.

I WANT HER TO KNOW I LOVED

HER. THE WHOLE FAMILY LEFT

HER.

Reporter: WITH NEW YEAR'S

WEEKEND NOW UPON US, MANY

TRAVELERS ARE STUCK AT

AIRPORTS AND HOTELS, HOPING TO

REACH THEIR DESTINATIONS.

SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CANCELED

MORE THAN 50,000 FLIGHTS.

2:00 A.M. AND WE ARE TWO

HOURS FROM OUR HOUSE NO CAR

SEATS AND NO SUITCASES.

Reporter: AND MANY OF THOSE

WHO FINALLY GOT HOME , DID SO

WITHOUT LUGGAGE. BAGS ARE

AWAITING TRANSPORT TO THEIR

FINAL DESTINATIONS. UNDER

THREAT OF MASSIVE FEDERAL

FUNDS, SOUTHWEST IS PROMISING

TO REIMBURSE REASONABLE HOTEL,

MEAL AND TRANSPORTATION X --

FOR SIGNIFICANT DELAYS BETWEEN

DECEMBER 24th AND JANUARY 2nd.

MY PERSONAL APOLOGY IS THE

FIRST STEP OF MAKING THINGS

RIGHT.

Reporter: THE DEPARTMENT OF

TRANSPORTATION IS PROMISING TO

HOLD SOUTHWEST ACCOUNTABLE FOR

THOSE REIMBURSEMENTS TO

CAPACITORS.

I AM ASSIGNING U.S. D.O.T.

RESOURCES, TO MAKE SURE YOU GET

COMPENSATED.

Reporter: IN THE AFTERMATH

OF THE STORM THAT HIT WESTERN

EUROPE, COMES STORIES OF

AMERICANS. POLICE ARE SEARCHING

FOR A MAN THEY WANT TO THINK

THINK. THEY KNOW HIM AS

CHRISTMAS JAY. HE SAVE LIVES

BY HELPING PEOPLE GET TO WARMTH

AND SAFETY IN A NEARBY SCHOOL.

GARY LANE, CBN NEWS.

> A NEW YEAR IS AROUND THE

CORNER BUT ONE THING IS

UNLIKELY TO CHANGE. THE HUGE

AMOUNT OF TIME THAT CHILDREN IN

AMERICA SPEND STARING AT

SCREENS ON THEIR PHONES AND

OTHER ELECTRONICS. FOR SOME, IT

IS AN OUTRIGHT ADDICTION THAT

CAN FOLLOW THEM INTO ADULTHOOD.

THAT IS WHY A MOTHER TOOK A

DRASTIC STEP, AND PULLED THE

PLUG ON HER CHILDREN. HERE'S

ANOTHER LOOK AT THE RESULTS OF

THIS FAMILY'S DIGITAL DETOX.

Reporter: IT IS THE DAY AND

AGE WE LIVE IN. TECHNOLOGY

ROLES AND SOMETIMES WE NEED A

BREAK. AND THAT IS ESPECIALLY

TRUE FOR KIDS.

WE NOTICED BEHAVIORS IN OUR

KIDS, AFTER SCREEN TIME, THAT

WE DIDN'T REALLY LIKE.

Reporter: ASK MOLLY DEFRANK,

MOTHER OF SIX, ALL UNDER THE

AGE OF 12.

IT WASN'T UNTIL WE PULLED

THE PLUG ON ENTERTAINMENT COLD

TURKEY. IT WASN'T UNTIL WE DID

THAT THAT WE REALIZED WE WERE

MOVED A FILTER FOR MY KIDS. WE

GOT OUR KIDS BACK AND EVER

SINCE, WE MADE THE DECISION AND

ARE HELPING OTHER PARENTS DO

THE SAME THING.

Reporter: HER BOOK, DIGITAL

DETOX, THE TWO WEEK TECH RESET

FOR KIDS, TAKES PARENTS

STEP-BY-STEP THROUGH A TWO WEEK

DETOX FOR THE KIDS.

TELL US ABOUT THE

STRATEGIES TO CUT BACK ON

SCREEN TIME FOR PARENTS. I

THINK A LOT OF PARENTS ARE AT A

LOSS. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO

DO HERE.

Reporter:

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

MOST PARENTS I HELP ARE GREAT

PARENTS OF AMAZING KIDS AND

THEY ARE ALREADY WORKING TO

MONITOR SCREEN TIME. THEY ARE

TAKING AWAY TIME FOR BAD

BEHAVIOR, ADDING SOME BACK AND

FINDING IT NOT WORKING.

Reporter: MOLLY SAID IT

COMES DOWN TO BRAIN CHEMISTRY.

TOO MUCH SCREEN TIME CREATES

DOPAMINE IN THE BRAIN. THE KIND

THEY CAN BE ADDICTING. AND FOR

KIDS, IT IS A PROBLEM THAT CAN

FOLLOW THEM INTO ADULT LIVES.

WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS YOU'RE

ACTUALLY RESETTING DOPAMINE

LEVELS BECAUSE WHEN THEY ARE

SCROLLING, WHEN THEY ARE

PLAYING, WHEN THEY ARE TAPPING,

THE DOPAMINE LEVELS IN THEIR

BRAINS ARE UNACCEPTABLY HIGH.

THAT IS WHY THEY COMPLAIN OF

BOREDOM BUT WHEN YOU GIVE A TWO

WEEK WINDOW TO RESET LEVELS

DOWN TO REAL LIFE, YOU'RE

GIVING THEM TIME TO REKINDLE A

LOVE OF REALIZED ACTIVITIES.

Reporter: THINGS LIKE

PLAYING OUTSIDE, ARTS AND

CRAFTS, READING AND WRITING,

THE SECOND HALF OF THE BOOK

HELPS PARENTS COME UP WITH A

LONG-TERM STRATEGY. USING

OBSERVATIONS FROM THE DETOX

PERIOD. SO HOW OFTEN SHOULD

FAMILIES DO A DETOX?

IT IS A UNIQUE THING FOR

EVERY FAMILY AND CHILD. ONCE

YOU KIND OF GET THAT CALIBRATED

FOR YOUR KIDS AND YOUR FAMILY,

YOU SHOULD BE GOOD FOR A WHILE.

BUT THERE HAVE BEEN FAMILIES

WHO HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF PLACE

AND THEN ANOTHER DETOX. IT IS

GREAT. A LOT OF THESE SILICON

VALLEY ENGINEERS AND CEOS, THEY

WILL GIVE THEMSELVES DOPAMINE

BREAKS, TOO. THE RESULTS ARE

REALLY, THE PROOF IS IN THE

PUDDING.

Reporter: FOR MOST FAMILIES

LIKE HERS, IT IS NOT ABOUT

ELIMINATING TECHNOLOGY. JUST

MAKING SURE IT IS IN ITS RIGHT

PLACE.

PRETTY MUCH EVERY PARENT

REPORTED RESULTS BACK TO ME AND

SAID THEIR KIDS GET ALONG

BETTER. THEY FIND PRODUCTIVE

HOBBIES. THEY ARE HAPPIER.

THEIR MENTAL HEALTH IS BETTER.

IS ACROSS THE BOARD, THAT IT

BENEFITS KIDS.

HER KIDS ARE A TESTAMENT TO

THAT. IN TWO WEEKS, SHE SAID

THEY WERE FREE FROM THE GRIP OF

TECHNOLOGY. MOOD SHIFTS,

CREATIVITY EXPLODED , AND THEY

LEARNED TO ENTERTAIN THEMSELVES

AND ENJOY LIFE WITHOUT SCREENS.

AND YOURS CAN, TOO. MOLLY SAID

IT CAN BE DIFFICULT AT FIRST

BUT GETTING YOUR KIDS A BREAK

FROM TECHNOLOGY IS SOMETHING

THAT WILL PAY OFF FOR THEM AND

THE ENTIRE FAMILY, FOR YEARS TO

COME. IN WASHINGTON, JENNA

BROWDER, CBN NEWS.

> WE ARE TURNING OVERSEAS

WHERE 90% OF THE WORLD'S

LANGUAGES DO NOT HAVE

TRANSLATION OF THE OLD

TESTAMENT. NOW A MOVEMENT IS

UNDERWAY, SEEKING TO CHANGE

THAT. AND SPUR A GLOBAL

REVOLUTION OF BIBLE AXIS. CHRIS

MITCHELL HAS THE STORY FROM

JERUSALEM.

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.

IT REFERS TO THE FACT THAT

THE ORIGINAL TESTAMENT IS UNDER

TRANSLATED. IT IS UNDERUSED AND

FREQUENTLY, MISUNDERSTOOD.

THEREFORE, WE COMMIT TO DO

ALL WE CAN TO CELEBRATE THE

TRANSLATION OF THE OLD

TESTAMENT AND EVERY LIVING

LANGUAGE TO FULFILL THE GREAT

COMMISSION.

Reporter: THAT RESULTED IN

SIGNING THE JERUSALEM

DECLARATION TO ELIMINATE THE

ORIGINAL TESTAMENT GAP. THAT IS

WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

WE HAVE PEOPLE FROM AROUND

THE GLOBE, THAT HAVE GATHERED

HERE, VERY PRAYERFULLY, TO SEEK

THE LORD. SAYING, WE ARE NOW

AWARE THAT THERE IS THIS VERY

SIGNIFICANT GAP. WOULD YOU SHOW

US WHAT WE ARE TO DO, AND HOW

YOU WOULD HAVE THIS ELIMINATED,

THIS GAP, ELIMINATED.

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, AND MULTIGENERATION

AL WAY. THE ORIGINAL TESTAMENT

WAS THE BIBLE THAT JESUS, AND

THE APOSTLES USE, AND WE WANT

EVERYONE TO HAVE ACCESS TO IT.

THE NEW TESTAMENT IS MOST

COMPREHENSIBLE BUT IS REALLY

CONNECTED TO THE ORIGINAL

TESTAMENT.

Reporter: THEY POINT OUT IT

IS NEEDED TO FULLY UNDERSTAND

THE NEW TESTAMENT.

THE ORIGINAL TESTAMENT IS

THE FOUNDATION FOR US, TO

UNDERSTAND THE GOSPEL OF THE

KINGDOM, THAT JESUS CAME FOUR.

IMAGINE YOU COME ACROSS A

MENTION OF DAVID OR ABRAHAM OR

MOSES, OR AHAB, OR GIDEON OR

ANY OF THE OTHER HEROES OF OUR

FAITH , OR PLACES LIKE BETHEL

AND JERICHO ARE JERUSALEM. AND

EVENTS LIKE THE CROSSING OF THE

RED SEA OR MANNA IN THE DESERT

AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA IN YOUR

LANGUAGE. WHAT THOSE STORIES

ARE ABOUT, WHAT HAPPENED, WHO

ARE THESE PEOPLE.

Reporter: TO ILLUSTRATE THE

POINT, THEY PUBLISHED A

VERSION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT,

WITHOUT ANY REFERENCES TO THE

ORIGINAL TESTAMENT.

WHEN THERE IS DIRECT

QUOTATION, THE TEXT IS WHITED

OUT. WHERE THERE IS INTENTIONAL

ILLUSION, IT IS TONED DOWN TO

WATERMARK LEVEL. SO THIS IS

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN ACTS

SEVEN, WHEN STEPHEN IS TALKING

AND GIVING HIS SERVE AND THAT

GETS HIMSELF 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 MISSING

BECAUSE WHEN WE READ IT, THE

NEW TESTAMENT WITHOUT

UNDERSTANDING OF THE ORIGINAL,

WE DO NOT GET THE FULL OF

GOD'S PURPOSES. WE 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 COME STRATEGY,

TOOLS AND HELP, THEY NEED TO

ACCOMPLISH THIS HUGE GOAL.

FIRST WE ASKED THE LORD,

THAT HIS SPIRIT WILL STIR

PEOPLE IN THEIR HEARTS. AND

THAT THEY WILL WANT TO

PARTICIPATE AND UNDERSTAND HOW

IMPORTANT IT IS TO UNDERSTAND

THE ONLY SCRIPTURE THAT JESUS'

DISCIPLES, AND PAUL, HAD, WAS

THE ORIGINAL TESTAMENT.

Reporter: AND THEY ARE

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 IN THE WORLD. 90% OF

THE LANGUAGES, DO NOT HAVE THE

ORIGINAL TESTAMENT. START

PRAYING FOR THOSE LANGUAGES.

Reporter: CHRIS MITCHELL,

CBS NEWS, JERUSALEM.

THAT IS SOMETHING TO

CONTINUE PRAYING FOR. THOSE ARE

OUR TOP STORIES. WE WILL BE

BACK WITH MORE OF THE 700 CLUB,

RIGHT AFTER THIS.

> A HOUSE OF PRAYER ON TOP OF

THE MOUNTAIN. HUNDREDS OF

TREES, AND A VINEYARD. ALL OF

THIS AND MUCH MORE IS PART OF A

FARM IN THE HEART OF JUDEO. IS

LOCATED IN WHAT MUCH OF THE

WORLD CALLS THE WEST BANK. AND

ITS FOUNDERS SEE IT AS A

FULFILLMENT OF BIBLICAL

PROPHECY. CHRIS MITCHELL BRINGS

THIS FIRSTHAND LOOK.

Reporter: ON THESE HILLS NOT

FAR FROM JERUSALEM LIES THE

GOAT FRONT. FOR 6 YEARS, ITS

FOUNDERS BUILT A COMPLEX ON

LAND, WHERE PREVIOUSLY THERE

WAS NOTHING BUT BARREN HILLS.

LOCATED IN JUDEO, IT IS BOUNDED

-- THE BIBLE COMING TO LIFE.

CBN NEWS MET WITH TWO OF ITS

FOUNDERS.

TELL US WHERE WE ARE.

WE ARE IN THE HEART OF THE

LAND OF JUDEO. BETHLEHEM IS 15

MINUTES THAT WAY. RIGHT OVER

THERE, AS THE BUILDINGS KISS

THE SKY, THAT IS JERUSALEM. 45

MINUTES DIRECTLY THIS WAY IS --

AND IF YOU TRIANGULATE THAT,

BETHLEHEM, JERUSALEM AND

HEBRON, WE ARE AT THE HEART OF

THE LAND OF JUDEA.

Reporter: HE TALKS ABOUT THE

ELECTION TO KING DAVID.

AS A YOUNG GUY, ACCORDING

TO THE JEWISH TRADITION, MOST

OF THE BOOK OF PSALMS WAS

WRITTEN HERE IN THESE

MOUNTAINS, BEFORE DAVID BECAME

KING. IT IS TIME OF TROUBLE,

WHERE DID HE RUN TO? WHERE HE

KNEW BEST. HE KNEW WHERE THE

CAVES WERE. HE KNEW HOW TO LIVE

HERE AND SURVIVE HERE. THESE

ARE HISTORIC, HOLY MOUNTAINS.

TOOK THE UN AND MANY HIM

COUNTRIES CONSIDER THE

MOUNTAINS, OCCUPIED TERRITORY

AND SEE THE JEWS THAT LIVED

THERE, IN THE PLACE OF THE WEST

BANK, AS AN OBSTACLE TO PEACE.

IT IS MUCH EASIER TO SAY,

LET'S GET SETTLERS OUT OF THE

WEST BANK AND LET'S REMOVE THE

JEWS FROM JUDEA. THE REASON

JEWS ARE CALLED JEWS, WE ARE

FROM JUDEA. THIS IS OUR

INDIGENOUS LAND. THE JEW FROM

THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN WAS

EXILED FROM JUDEA. THIS IS THE

MOST NATURAL, HOLISTIC PLACE

FOR A JEW TO GROW AND THRIVE,

RIGHT HERE IN JUDEO.

Reporter: LOCAL LEADERS

ASKED THE FARMERS TO SETTLE THE

LAND AND CREATE A TOURIST

ATTRACTION AND STRATEGIC

BUFFER. IT HAS BECOME MUCH

MORE.

WHEN I CAME OUT HERE, AFTER

A FEW WEEKS, ALL THE STRATEGY

AND MILITARY, NONE OF IT

MATTERED AT ALL. WHEN WE CAME

OUT HERE, IT IS LIKE, THIS IS

WHAT IT IS TO BE A JEW.

FOR US, THIS IS JUST THE

PLACE IT IS LIKE, THIS IS THE

MOST NATURAL THING THAT COULD

POSSIBLY HAPPEN.

WE BOTH FELT CALLED TO COME

HERE AND PAVE THIS ROAD, AND

OPEN A PLACE UP, WHERE THE

PSALM WAS WRITTEN. KING DAVID

TAUGHT EVERY CATHOLIC IN THE

WORLD, EVERY CHRISTIAN IN THE

WORLD, EVERY JEW IN THE WORLD.

AND SOMEONE IS SICK, THEY OPEN

UP THE BOOK AND HE TOLD US TO

PRAY TO GOD AND THE PRAYERS

ENTERED THE WORLD HERE. THIS

PLACE IS MEANT TO BE A CENTER

OF PRAYER AND WORSHIP AND SONG

AND MUSIC AND ART AND THE TORAH

THAT IS OPEN TO EVERYONE FROM

EVERY BACKGROUND.

Reporter: A COMMON

MISPERCEPTION IS THAT JEWS AND

ARABS CAN'T COEXIST. THAT IS

NOT THE CASE HERE.

IF YOU GO TO OUR VILLAGE

NEAR US, OUR VILLAGE OVER THERE

AND SAY, WHAT YOU THINK OF THE

JEWS HERE, THEY WOULD SAY, THEY

ARE A BELOVED FRIEND OF OURS.

I KNOW THAT THEY SAY THAT

BECAUSE THEY HAVE COME HERE AND

SAID THEY WOULD STAND WITH US.

WHERE ARE WE NOW?

THIS IS THE TOP OF THE

MOUNTAIN. AND ACCORDING TO

JEWISH LAW, ON THE TOP OF THE

MOUNTAIN, YOU NEED TO BUILD A

STRUCTURE THAT IS DEDICATED TO

THE GOD MOST HIGH. SO THIS IS

OUR HOUSE OF PRAYER AND IT HAS

TAKEN US 7 YEARS TO BUILD.

I CONSIDER THIS THE DIAMOND

IN THE CROWN, OF EVERYTHING WE

HAVE DONE. POSSIBLY THE

DIAMOND IN THE CROWN OF JUDEO.

THIS IS THE SOUL OF OUR PLACE.

IT IS REALLY, RIGHT HERE.

WHAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL, IS WE

ARE SURROUNDED BY MANY

DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE, BUT

THE MATTRESSES YOU SEE HERE

AND THE PILLOWS IN OUR HOUSE OF

PRAYER WERE DONATED TO US BY

THE MOSLEM, ARID VILLAGE RIGHT

DOWN HERE. THEY SO MUCH

APPRECIATED US COMING HERE,

BECAUSE WHEN WE CAME HERE, WE

REPAVED THE ROADS THAT LEAD TO

THEIR VILLAGE, AS WELL. POLICE

OFFICERS ARE NOW PATROLLING

DOWN THE ROOTS, MAKING SURE

THAT PEOPLE ARE DRIVING SAFER.

WE HAVE BEEN A BLESSING OF THIS

PLACE.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT

ELEMENTS OF THIS PLACE IS THAT

AS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BEFORE,

THE WORDS OF THE PROPHETS. WHEN

WE RETURN TO THE LAND, GOD WILL

REMOVE A HEART OF STONE AND

PUT WITH US A HEART OF FLESH

AND CIRCUMCISE OUR HEARTS.

Reporter: IN ADDITION TO THE

HOUSE OF PRAYER, IT INCLUDES

HOUSES, A RETREAT CENTER,

HUNDREDS OF TREES AND A

VINEYARD. THEY ALSO HOST AN

ONLINE BIBLE STUDY CALLED, THE

LAND OF ISRAEL FELLOWSHIP.

THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING, THE

BOOK OF AMOS, SERVES AS THEIR

BLUEPRINT.

WE ARE ON THE HILLSIDE, BUT

YOU SEE THIS AS PROPHECY COMING

TO LIFE. IS THAT RIGHT?

YEAH, THIS IS PROPHECY

COMING TO LIFE. THERE IS A

VILLAGE OVER THERE. IT IS

UNDOUBTABLY, IRREFUTABLY, THE

VERY LAND IN WHICH THE PROPHET

AMOS HAD HIS PROPHECY. HE WAS

ACTUALLY A COWBOY, RIGHT? HIS

PROPHECY WAS THESE MOUNTAINS

AND THE LAST THREE VERSES OF

HIS PROPHECY SAYS, I WILL

RETURN EXILES OF MY PEOPLE AND

THEY WILL REBUILD DESOLATE

CITIES AND THEY WILL PLANT

VINEYARDS AND DRINK THEIR WINE.

AND THEY WILL PLANT GARDENS AND

EAT THEIR FRUIT. AND I WILL

PLANT THEM UPON THE LAND AND

THEY WILL NEVER BE UPROOTED

AGAIN. WE HAVE VINEYARDS IN THE

LAND HE PROPHESIES IN.

AMOS WAS IN THESE MOUNTAINS

AND HAD A VISION THAT THEY

WOULD BE REBUILT CITIES, AND

VINEYARDS AND FRUIT TREES. AND

THEN I WONDER, THIS BUILDING

BEING BUILT IN THE SPANIARD

THAT IS PLANTED HERE, WAS THIS

EXACTLY WHAT HE SAW? BUT WE

BUILT IT WITH THE INSPIRED

WORDS. HE GUIDED US TO PLANT

THAT.

CHAPTER EIGHT, I THINK

SUMMARIZES THE MISSION. WHAT

IS OUR BUSINESS PLAN? THE BOOK

OF AMOS. THERE WILL BE A HUNGER

IN THE LAND AND THE HUNGER WILL

NOT BE FOR BREAD AND THE THIRST

WILL NOT BE FOR WATER. THE

RETREAT CENTER AND HOUSE OF

PRAYER, EVERYTHING WE ARE DOING

IS TO SATISFY THIS HUNGER, THAT

IS IN FOR BREAD AND THE THIRST,

NOT FOR WATER BUT TO HEAR THE

WORDS OF GOD FOR THE ECHOING

FROM THE MOUNTAINS OF JUDEA TO

THE ENTIRE WORLD.

CHRIS MITCHELL, CBS NEWS,

JUDEA.

THE WORDS OF GOD BECOMING

REALITY. BECOMING FLESH. AND

DWELLING AMONG US. ISRAEL,

BECOMING A LIGHT TO THE

NATIONS, SHOWING US ALL HOW WE

CAN LIVE TOGETHER. IN PEACE AND

HARMONY, BEING A LIGHT TO ALL

OF US AND SHOWING US THE WAY.

WHAT A WONDERFUL STORY. WHAT A

WONDERFUL FULFILLMENT OF

BIBLICAL PROPHECY.

THREATENED TO END HIS GAME, AND

WHAT HAPPENED WHEN HE WAS

CALLED OUT BY HIS OWN TEAM

TIMES. SEE HOW HE BECAME A

WALKING MIRACLE, AFTER THIS.

> EILEEN IS A TERM TRAUMA

NURSE. NO AMOUNT OF TRAINING

COULD PREPARE HER FOR WHAT SHE

FACED THE MORNING SHE WOKE UP

FACED THE MORNING SHE WOKE UP

TO FIND HER HUSBAND, JIM,

UNRESPONSIVE. HE WAS FOAMING AT

THE MOUTH, WITH A GLAZED LOOK

ON HIS FACE AND IN THE NEXT FEW

SECONDS, HIS CONDITION WENT

FROM BAD TO WORSE.

Reporter: IT WAS EARLY IN

THE MORNING WHEN EILEEN TAN WAS

AWAKENED BY HER HUSBAND, JIM,

WHO IS MAKING STRANGE NOISES.

I NUDGED HIM AND SAID,

WHERE YOUR CPAP . THERE WAS NO

RESPONSE.

Reporter: THAT IS WHEN

EILEEN, A CRITICAL CARE NURSE

FOR 26 YEARS, PULLED OPEN THE

CURTAINS TO CHECK ON HIM.

HE WAS MILDLY PURPLE. HIS

EYES WERE OPEN. THEY WERE

DILATED TO THE UPPER LEFT-HAND

SIDE SO I GAVE HIM A SLAP ON

HIS CHEEK. AND HE WOULDN'T

RESPOND TO ME. AT THAT MOMENT,

I THOUGHT HE WAS HAVING A

STROKE.

Reporter: SHE SHOUTED TO HER

DAUGHTER TO CALL 911. SECONDS

LATER, --

THE MOMENT I SAW JIM'S EYES

ROLL BACK AND LIKE HAVING THIS

GLAZED LOOK ON HIS FACE. AND I

FELT FOR A PULSE AND THERE WAS

NO PULSE.

Reporter: EILEEN REALIZED

THAT THE SIGNS DID NOT POINT AT

A STROKE, BUT TO A HEART

ATTACK. SHE AND SIMONE LOWERED

TO JIM TO THE FLOOR AND EILEEN

QUICKLY STARTED CPR.

I KNEW THAT I WAS LOSING HIM

WITH EACH MINUTE THAT WAS

PASSING BY.

Reporter: AFTER CHEST

COMPRESSIONS, JIM'S TONGUE

SLIPPED BACK, LOCKING HIS

AIRWAY. EILEEN GRABBED A ROLLED

UP TOWEL AND PLACED UNDER HIS

NECK, FORCING THE AIRWAY CLEAR.

SHE CONTINUED GIVING CPR,

PRAYING SHE COULD GET A PULSE.

I REMEMBER LEE -- THIS IS

NOT HOW I WANT HIM TO GO. NOT

THIS WAY. THIS IS NOT THE LAST

TIME I'M GOING TO SEE HIM LIKE

THIS AND EVERY MINUTE COUNTS

WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A PULSE.

Reporter: EIGHT MINUTES

LATER, PARAMEDICS ARRIVED AND

SHOCKED HIS HEART. THE PORTABLE

MONITOR SHOWED HE WAS IN DEFIB,

MEANING HIS PULSE WAS WEAK AND

ERRATIC. EILEEN KNEW IT WAS A

PRECURSOR TO CARDIAC ARREST.

THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO

MY MIND WAS, I FELT I HAD

ALREADY LOST HALF OF HIM. THE

CHANCES OF HIM COMING BACK WAS

VERY, LIKE, IT WAS TINY.

Reporter: EMTS SHOCKED JIM

AGAIN, YET COULD NOT GET A

STEADY HEARTBEAT.

AT THIS POINT I REMEMBER

TAKING A STEP BACK TOWARD THE

DOOR. BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, HE'S

GONE.

Reporter: THEN A THIRD SHOT

GAVE JIM A STOP -- A SMALL,

STEADY PULSE.

HIS RIGHT HAND CAME UP TO

HIS CHEST LIKE CHECKING HIS

TEST IN PAIN. I KNEW IT WAS

PURPOSEFUL MOVEMENT.

Reporter: NOW STABLE, JIM

WAS RUSHED TO SANTA ROSA

MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. EVEN THOUGH

EILEEN WORKED AT THE SAME

HOSPITAL, SHE WAS NOT ALLOWED

TO GO IN BECAUSE OF COVID

RESTRICTIONS. SHE STAYED HOME

AND STARTED TEXTING FAMILY AND

FRIENDS TO PRAY FOR HER

HUSBAND.

MY GREATEST WORRY WAS LIKE,

WHAT IF HE HAS BRAIN DAMAGE.

WHAT IF HE BECOMES PARALYZED.

WHAT IF HE BECOMES LIKE

DEPENDENT ON A VENTILATOR AND

HAS TO BE INSTITUTIONALIZED. I

WAS JUST NUMB AT THIS MOMENT. I

DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT WAS

HAPPENING. I COULDN'T BELIEVE

WHAT WAS GOING ON. I WAS

STANDING THERE LIKE, I COULD

NOT PROCESS IT WAS ALL

HAPPENING.

Reporter: LATER, THE

CARDIOLOGIST CALLED AND

INFORMED EILEEN THAT JIM WAS

STABLE AND AWAKE. ALTHOUGH HIS

ARTERIES WERE CLEAR, THEY HAD

TO PUT HIM ON MEDICATION TO

MAKE SURE HIS HEARTBEAT

REMAINED STEADY. THAT

AFTERNOON, THE TWO WERE ABLE TO

FACE TIME WITH EACH OTHER.

THAT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE

HAPPIEST MOMENTS DURING THE

WHOLE ENTIRE DAY. WAS TO TALK

TO HIM OVER THE PHONE. BECAUSE

IT WAS MY GREATEST CONCERN AND

FEAR, DAMAGE TO HIS BRAIN. HE

WAS ACTUALLY MAKING SENSE.

TIRED, BUT MAKING SENSE.

Reporter: HOWEVER, JIM

NEEDED PRAYER. UNSURE OF WHAT

CAUSED THE ATTACK, DOCTORS TOOK

HIM OFF MEDICATION AND OBSERVED

HIM OVERNIGHT, TO SEE IF HE

WOULD GO INTO V. FIB AGAIN.

I SAT ON THE FLOOR OF OUR

KITCHEN AND SOBBED. IT WAS THE

FIRST TIME I CRIED THAT NIGHT.

I WAS SCARED HE WOULD ARREST

AGAIN. EVEN IF HE WAS IN THE

ICU, NO GUARANTEE THEY WOULD

GET HIM BACK.

Reporter: JIM MADE IT

THROUGH THE NIGHT WITHOUT

INCIDENT.

I FELT REALLY WEAK WHEN I

WOKE UP. ON THE CONCERNED

PART, SOMEHOW I PUT IT ON THE

LORD. LORD, YOU ARE IN CONTROL.

Reporter: IS DOCTORS

DETERMINED THERE WAS AN

ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH HIS

HEART. THE NEXT DAY, THEY

TRANSFERRED HIM TO A DIFFERENT

HOSPITAL, WHERE HE WAS FITTED

FOR A PACEMAKER AND

DEFIBRILLATOR, TO PREVENT

FURTHER ATTACKS. ON JULY 18th,

JUST THREE DAYS AFTER THE

INCIDENT, JIM WAS RELEASED, TO

GO HOME.

GOT LITERALLY TOOK ME FROM

THE JAWS OF DEATH. I FEEL

BLESSED. I FEEL LOVED BY THE

LORD. I JUST FEEL LOVED THAT

OUR FAMILY IS LOVED. MY FAMILY

LOVES ME AND THAT GOD IS IN

CONTROL.

FOR HIM TO COME HOME, AND

PHYSICALLY SEE HIM COME HOME,

LIKE, THAT WAS THE JOYFUL PART

OF THE JOURNEY. WE WERE JUST SO

EXCITED. BECAUSE WE KNEW THAT A

COUPLE OF DAYS AGO --.

Reporter: AT THE TIME OF THE

ATTACK, THE FAMILY WAS SUPPOSED

TO BE VACATIONING IN A REMOTE

AREA OF CROATIA WHERE RESCUE

HELP WOULD NOT REACH THEM IN

TIME. INSTEAD, THEY STAYED HOME

BECAUSE OF COVID RESTRICTIONS

THAT FORCED THEM TO CANCEL THE

TRIP.

WE DON'T BELIEVE IN

COINCIDENCE. IT WAS A MIRACLE.

Reporter: WEEKS LATER, JIM

WAS AGAIN ENJOYING HIS DAILY

FIVE MILE WALKS. HIS FAMILY AND

HIS LIFE. THEY BELIEVE HE'S A

WALKING MIRACLE AND SHARE ABOUT

GOD'S GOODNESS EVERY CHANCE

THEY GET.

GOD IS A LIVE. GOD HEALS.

HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU OR

FORSAKE YOU. JUST TRUST HIM.

I JUST WANT TO REMIND PEOPLE

THAT OUR GOD STILL REIGNS

SUPREME. NO MATTER WHAT THE

NEWS TELLS YOU. NO MATTER WHAT

YOU SEE IN THE WORLD. NO MATTER

HOW COLD THE WORLD SEEMS TO BE.

IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT

HE IS SOVEREIGN.

IS IT THAT SOVEREIGN AND

FOR YOU. ISN'T IT REMARKABLE?

I'M GOING TO GUESS THAT JIM AND

EILEEN PROBABLY WERE

FRUSTRATED AND COMPLAINED ABOUT

THE FACT THAT COVID CAUSED

THEIR TRIP TO BE CANCELED, AND

YET GOD WAS IN IT BEFORE IT

EVER HAPPENED. YOU SEE HIS EYE

IS ON YOU. HE UNDERSTANDS YOUR

NEED. HE KNOWS WHEN YOU CRY OUT

TO HIM, WHAT IS GOING ON IN

YOUR LIFE. AND HERE, HE

ORCHESTRATED THEIR LIVES, TO BE

IN A PLACE FOR WHEN THIS

HAPPENED, THEY COULD GET HELP.

AND THEN SHOWED HIMSELF STRONG

ON THEIR BEHALF IN RECOVERY.

GOD LOVES YOU. HE KNOWS YOU. HE

WANTS TO WALK INTO THE MIDST OF

YOUR NEED AND INTERVENE.

TODAY, WE WANT TO TAKE TIME TO

PRAY WITH YOU AND WE WANT TO

ENCOURAGE YOU WITH SOME OTHER

PEOPLE'S STORIES. IT IS NOT

JUST JIM AND EILEEN. IT IS

OTHERS. THIS IS AMY. SHE LIVES

IN TEXARKANA TEXAS. SHE LOST A

SENSE OF TASTE AND SMELL OVER A

YEAR AGO. SHE WAS WATCHING THIS

PROGRAM ON MARCH 1st, THIS

YEAR. BEFORE PRAYING, GORDON,

YOU ENCOURAGED VIEWERS TO GET

HOUSEHOLD OIL FOR THE PURPOSE

OF A NOUN -- ANOINTING. YOU

SAID IT WAS AN ACT OF

EXERCISING FAITH BASED ON JAMES

5 VERSES 14 AND 15. AMY GOT OIL

AND PRAYED FOR GOD TO MANIFEST

HEALING. AFTER THE PRAYER, AMY

WAS THRILLED TO FIND SHE COULD

TASTE, SHE COULD SMELL AGAIN.

SHE ALSO ANOINTED HER ARM SHE

WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH, AND IT

WAS HEALED. PRAISE GOD.

FAITH IS A KNACK. GOD GOES

THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH. THE

EYES OF THE LORD GO THROUGHOUT

THE WHOLE EARTH. AND HE IS

LOOKING TO SHOW HIMSELF STRONG.

WHAT IS HE LOOKING FOR? FOR

THOSE, WHOSE HEARTS ARE LOYAL

TO HIM. WHEN THE FRIENDS OF THE

PARALYZED MAN OPENED UP A ROOF

AND LOWERED HIM DOWN, IN FRONT

OF JESUS, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT

WHEN HE SAW THEIR FAITH, ISN'T

IT AMAZING? GOD IS LOOKING FOR

FAITH. AND WHEN HE SEES IT,

WHEN HE FINDS IT, HE SHOWS

HIMSELF STRONG. HERE IS LAURA

FROM MESA, ARIZONA. 6 YEARS

AGO, SHE HAD TMJ. THE DOCTOR

TREATED IT, EVERYTHING WAS

FINE. A YEAR LATER, CHEWING A

PIECE OF CANDY, THE CLICKING

AND THE PAIN CAME BACK. WHILE

SHE WAS WATCHING 700 CLUB WHEN

SHE HEARD TERRY SAY, YOU ARE

HAVING TROUBLE WITH TEETH, PAIN

IN YOUR JOB. EVERYTHING IS

MESSED UP. NOTHING SEEMS TO

HELP, NO MEDICATION THAT YOU

USE. GOD IS STRAIGHTENING IT

OUT. ALL OF IT IS GONE. WELL BY

FAITH, LAURA RECEIVED THE WORD

AND PAIN LEFT IMMEDIATELY.

WOULDN'T IT BE WONDERFUL , FOR

YOU, RIGHT NOW, FOR THE PAIN TO

LEAVE IMMEDIATELY? LET'S DO

WHAT THESE WONDERFUL PEOPLE

HAVE DONE. LET'S SHOW GOD YOUR

FAITH. AN ACT OF FAITH, LAY

YOUR HAND ON THAT AREA OF THE

BODY THAT NEEDS HEALING. TERRY

AND I WILL AGREE WITH YOU. THAT

THE BIBLE SAYS, WHEN TWO OR

MORE AGREE, TOUCHING ANYTHING,

IT SHALL BE DONE FOR THEM , BY

MY FATHER IN HEAVEN. THESE ARE

THE WORDS OF JESUS. LET'S LEAN

INTO THAT. LETS IN TO HIS WORD

AND COME TO HIM IN FAITH. YOU

IS HOW JESUS AND JOSIE LIVED

FOR YEARS. TODAY, THE COUPLE'S

HOME , CARS, AND ALL BELONGINGS

ARE PAID FOR, FREE AND CLEAR.

THAT IS A GREAT THING. AND HERE

IS HOW A DINNER CONVERSATION

LED THEM TO A TOTAL FINANCIAL

TURNAROUND.

Reporter: BETWEEN THE TWO OF

THEM, RETIRED SERGEANT JESUS

MENDEZ AND HIS WIFE JOSIE, HAVE

40 YEARS OF SERVICE. JESUS, IN

THE ARMY AND JOSIE, AS A

TEACHER. NOW THAT THEY ARE

RETIRED, THEY ARE SERVING

OTHERS AND ENJOYING LIFE TO THE

FULLEST.

WE ARE INVOLVED WITH THE

GIDEON MINISTRY AND IT IS

WONDERFUL TO WORK FOR THE LORD.

JESUS LIKES TO GO, GO, GO, SO

WE GO.

WHEN YOU ARE BLESSED, YOU

ARE SUPPOSED TO BLESS OTHERS.

Reporter: YEARS AGO, THINGS

WEREN'T SO ROSY. THE MENDEZ

WERE STATIONED IN GERMANY AND

STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET

FOR THEIR FAMILY OF FIVE. AS

CHRISTIANS, THEY KNEW ABOUT

TITHING BUT WERE NOT SURE THAT

THEY COULD GIVE 10%.

WE WENT PAYCHECK TO

PAYCHECK. THERE WASN'T A LOT OF

EXTRA TO GO AROUND.

Reporter: THEN THEIR CHURCH

HOSTED A CONFERENCE AND

REQUESTED VOLUNTEERS TO HOUSE

VISITING FAMILIES. THE MENDEZ

TOOK IN A FAMILY OF FOUR FROM

BELGIUM. THE EVENING TOOK AN

UNEXPECTED TURN.

RIGHT AFTER WE SAT DOWN ,

FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER, THE

TITHING CAME UP. AND I SAID,

LORD, WHAT IS THIS? WHEN I

STARTED TITHING, HE SAID, I WAS

TITHING, NOT THE WAY I SHOULD.

AND ALL THIS TIME I'M THINKING,

SOUNDS LIKE MYSELF. WHEN I

STARTED TITHING CORRECTLY,

EVERYTHING WOULD GO WELL FOR

US. SO IT RUNG A BELL IN MY

HEART AND I SAID, WELL, I'M

GOING TO TALK TO JOSIE.

HE SAID HE'S A NUMBERS

PERSON. SO WHEN HE CAME AND

TOLD ME, WE ARE TITHING, I KNEW

THAT IT HAD TO BE GOD.

THE VERY NEXT WEEK, THEY

STARTED TITHING 10% OF GROSS

INCOME. THEIR FINANCES IMPROVED

IMMEDIATELY.

EVEN THOUGH WE WERE TITHING,

IT SEEMED LIKE THE BALANCE IN

OUR CHECKBOOK WAS NOT GOING

DOWN. BUT IT WAS GOING UP.

MANY TIMES WE GOT CHECKS IN THE

MAIL THAT WE DIDN'T EXPECT.

THE LORD BLESSED US THAT WAY.

JESUS SAID THEY STARTED

WATCHING THE 700 CLUB.

I STARTED PAYING ATTENTION

TO THE TEACHINGS ABOUT TITHING

AND HOW PEOPLE WERE BLESSED.

WE LEARNED TO NOT PUT GOD IN A

BOX. SO THAT WE COULD BE

BLESSED.

Reporter: THEY DECIDED TO

PASS THE BLESSING ON TO OTHERS

BY GIVING TO CBN.

700 CLUB IS ALWAYS PRESENT

DURING CRISIS. THEY SHOW UP AND

THEY HAVE A VOLUNTEERS, HELPING

PEOPLE. THEY JUST TOUCH MY

HEART . THAT THERE IS A

MINISTRY, THAT IS THERE,

ALWAYS, TO HELP THOSE IN NEED .

OUR MONIES ARE GOING TO EVEN

OVERSEAS WHERE WATER IS NEEDED,

OR FOOD IS NEEDED. ALSO WE ARE

CONTRIBUTING, EVEN THOUGH WE

ARE NOT THERE.

Reporter: JESUS CONTINUED TO

EARN PROMOTIONS AND RAISES

UNTIL HE RETIRED AS AN E- SEVEN

SERGEANT FIRST CLASS. HE ALSO

MET A CHRISTIAN FINANCIAL

PLANNER WHO HELPED THEM TAKE

THEIR MONEY EVEN FURTHER.

CARS ARE PAID, THE HOME IS

PAID, EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE,

THAT WE HAVE IS PAID FOR. AND

IT IS ALL BECAUSE OF THE LORD.

THESE DAYS, THE MENDEZ HAVE

A SECURE FUTURE AND SAY IT ALL

BEGAN WITH ONE STOP.

IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT

TITHING, JUST TRY IT AND YOU

WILL SEE GOD WILL COME THROUGH

FOR YOU.

WHAT A WONDERFUL FAMILY,

LIVING OUT THE PRINCIPLES THAT

GOD HAS PUT DOWN IN THE BIBLE.

AND WHEN YOU LIVE A CORDON

WITH WHAT HE TELLS YOU TO DO

AND EXPRESSLY TELLS YOU TO DO

IN THE BIBLE, THEN WONDERFUL

THINGS CAN HAPPEN. IT IS NOT A

GET RICH QUICK SCHEME, BUT IT

IS A LIFETIME OF BLESSINGS.

KNOWING THAT GOD IS WITH YOU.

KNOWING THAT YOU WILL FILLED

HIS REQUIREMENTS AND HE, IN

TURN, WILL FULFILL HIS PROMISE

OVER YOU, THAT HE WILL OPEN THE

WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND POUR OUT

A BLESSING YOU CANNOT CONTAIN.

THIS ISN'T SOME KIND OF

AUSTERITY GOSPEL, BUT IT IS THE

GOSPEL. THE GOSPEL THAT GOD

WANTS TO PROTECT YOU, HE WANTS

TO WATCH OVER YOU, HE WANTS TO

PROVIDE FOR ALL OF YOUR NEED,

ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN

GLORY. HOW DO YOU ACCESS IT?

YOU ACCESS THROUGH OBEDIENCE.

YOU SAY, YES, I WANT TO LIVE

GOD'S WAY. I DON'T WANT TO DO

IT MY WAY. I WANT TO DO IT

GOD'S WAY. IF HE TELLS ME TO

GIVE, I WILL DO IT GENEROUSLY.

I WILL DO IT CHEERFULLY. FOR

MINOR-LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM.

BUBBA WATSON ALSO HAS A HOT

VIDEO ON YOUTUBE. HARD TO

BELIEVE THIS TWO-TIME MASTERS

CHAMPION ONCE WANTED TO DIE.

HE WILL TELL US WHY, AFTER

THIS.

> TWO-TIME MASTERS CHAMPION

BUBBA WATSON IS A HOT COMMODITY

IN THE WORLD OF GOLF. OVER THE

YEARS, HE ALSO EARNED A

REPUTATION AS A HOTHEAD FOR

HIS CONTROVERSIAL REMARKS ON

THE COURSE. WHEN HE WAS AT THE

TOP OF HIS GAME, BUBBA SUFFERED

A MELTDOWN. AS HE TOLD CBN'S

WORLD AUSTIN, DURING THAT TIME,

HE LOST 30 POUNDS AND ALSO

THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO DIE.

Reporter: IS ONE OF GOLF'S

GETS NAMES. BUBBA WATSON, THIS

TWO-TIME MASTERS CHAMPION IS

KNOWN FOR HIS LONG DRIVES AND

EXCITING PERSONALITY. IN HIS

NEW BOOK, UP AND DOWN, BUBBA

DISCUSSES BALANCING CELEBRITY,

FAMILY LIFE, AND TRYING TO

IMPERFECTLY FOLLOW GOD'S CALL.

THAT IS THE REASON I WANTED

TO COME OUT WITH THE BOOK, TO

SHARE THAT WE ALL HAVE ISSUES.

AND IF YOU SAY YOU DON'T, YOU

REALLY DO. LET'S BE HONEST WITH

EVERYBODY.

Reporter: NOT JUST A GOLFER,

BUBBA OWNS AN ICE CREAM SHOP,

CAR DEALERSHIP, DRIVING RANGE,

AND HAS BECOME PART OWNER OF A

MINOR-LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM.

LET'S START WITH YOUR LOVE

OF BASEBALL. YOU WANTED TO

BECOME A MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

PITCHER.

IT STARTED WITH MY DAD.

BEING A YANKEES FAN. DON

MATTINGLY WAS FIRST BASEMAN,

LEFT-HANDED. I WAS LEFT-HANDED.

I WANTED TO BE LIKE DON

MATTINGLY. BUT I ALSO WANTED

TO PITCH. A FEW YEARS AFTER

THAT, GOLF STARTED.

Reporter: HE GREW UP IN

BAGHDAD, FLORIDA. IT WAS

EVIDENT EARLY ON THAT BUBBA HAD

A GIFT FOR GOLF.

I STARTED TOURNAMENT GOLF AT

AGE 8. STARTED HITTING IT

PASSED EVERYBODY. PEOPLE

STARTED TALKING TO MY FAMILY

ABOUT HOW FAR I COULD HIT IT

AND NO LESSONS. AS IT GREW AND

I GOT TO AROUND 12 YEARS OLD,

YOU COULD DEFTLY SEE MY SKILL

LEVEL WAS DIFFERENT THAN OTHER

PEOPLE. THAT IS WHEN IT STARTED

A BUS IN MY HEAD, THAT I HAVE A

SHOT AT THIS.

Reporter: HE ACCEPTED A GOLF

SCHOLARSHIP TO THE UNIVERSITY

OF 4 WHERE HE MET HIS WIFE,

ANGIE, WHO HAD AN IMMEDIATE

IMPACT ON HIS DESIRE TO FOLLOW

GOD.

WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT

CHURCH. SHE GREW UP IN A

CHURCH. WHO SHE WANTED TO BE.

SHE ASKED ABOUT MY FAITH AND I

SAID IT IS VERY LITTLE. ONE DAY

I GOT ASKED TO CHURCH AND GAVE

MYSELF TO THE LORD. BUT THAT

WAS IT. THE SEED WAS PLANTED.

I SAID THE RIGHT THINGS BUT

DIDN'T REALLY WATER IT. WHEN I

GOT TO GEORGIA AND MET HER, IT

OPENED UP. I'M STILL GROWING

THAT BUT IT HAS BEEN AN AMAZING

JOURNEY AND THE REST IS

HISTORY. 20 YEARS LATER, WE ARE

STILL TOGETHER.

Reporter: DURING THOSE 20

YEARS, THE WATSONS ENDURED

TRYING TIMES INCLUDING THE

INABILITY TO CONCEIVE A CHILD.

WHEN YOUR WIFE LOOKS AT YOU

AND SAYS, WHY CAN'T I BE A MOM?

AND, THAT IS A HARD THING TO

ANSWER. AND AGAIN, GOD'S TIMING

IS MADE BETTER.

Reporter: IN GOD'S TIMING,

2012, THE COUPLE ADOPTED A BABY

BOY. HE KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT

HE WAS A GIFT FROM GOD.

THE LADY ASKED, THE FIRST

THING SHE ASKED, ARE YOU GOING

TO CHANGE HIS NAME? TALK ABOUT

TRYING TO GET WORDS OUT OF YOUR

MOUTH. SHE GOES, I THINK HIS

NAME -- A GREAT STORY IN THE

BIBLE. I SAID, WE WOULD NEVER

CHANGE HIS NAME BECAUSE THE

BLESSING YOU ARE GIVING US.

Reporter: TWO WEEKS AFTER

BECOMING A FATHER, BUBBA WON

ONE OF GOLF'S MOST PRESTIGIOUS

TOURNAMENTS, THE MASTERS.

FROM AN OUTSIDERS PERSPECTIVE,

BUBBA WATSON HEADED ALL. HE WON

THE 2012 MASTERS, HAD A GROWING

FAMILY AND LOVING FAN BASE. BUT

BENEATH THE SURFACE, THE

PRESSURE WAS JUST BEGINNING TO

BUILD. SEVERE BOUTS OF

ANXIETY, CAUSE BUBBA TO BECOME

WITHDRAWN AND FEARFUL . EVEN

LOST 30 POUNDS. YOU THOUGHT

YOU WERE GOING TO DIE?

YEAH, I FELT LIKE IT COULD

REASONABLY IT BE IT. I LOOKED

AT THE SCALE AT 162 AND I FALL

ON MY KNEES AND EYEBALLING. I

SAID, TAKE IT. I DON'T WANT TO

GO TO THIS. I'M PRAYING ABOUT

JUST TAKE ME. WHAT AM I

SUPPOSED TO DO? WHAT YOU WANT

ME TO DO WITH MY LIFE? I WAS

LIKE, I WILL QUIT GOLF. IF

THIS IS CAUSING ME TO BE THIS

WAY, I'M DONE WITH GOLF. I

WOULD RATHER BE PHYSICALLY

HEALTHY THAN OUT. THAT IS WHAT

GOT ME UP OFF THE GROUND. JUST

THINKING ABOUT, WAIT, IF GOD

TELLS ME RIGHT NOW, HE APPEARED

AND SAID, YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES,

AM I GOING TO SIT ON MY BED AND

POUT FOR 10 MINUTES OR AM I

GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?

BUBBA CONTINUES TO GROW IN

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. EVEN

THROUGH MOMENTS THAT HE SAYS,

HE'S NOT PROUD OF.

ONE PARTICULAR MOMENT I CAN

REMEMBER, I SAID SOME CHOICE

WORDS, GOT CAUGHT ON CAMERA AND

MY TEAM HIT ME FAST. I WENT TO

THE MEDIA CENTER AND THEY ASKED

ME RIGHT AWAY. SAID, YOUR

LANGUAGE, YOU CALL YOURSELF A

CHRISTIAN. I SAID, I WANT TO

THANK YOU ALL. I WANT TO THANK

YOU BECAUSE THAT IS HOW I GET

BETTER. YOU DON'T CALL ME OUT,

I CAN'T GET BETTER. WE ALL HAVE

MOMENTS. THE YOUNGER DAYS, I

WOULD NOT HAVE DONE IT THAT

DAY. BUT SINCE I WON AND GOING

FORWARD, AND MORE WINS AFTER

THAT, IT MEANS I'M PUTTING ON A

BIGGER SPOTLIGHT WHERE I'M

READY TO FACE MY BAD MOMENTS IN

A DIFFERENT WAY.

THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT IRON

SHARPENING IRON. IT SOUNDS LIKE

YOU HAD A GOOD TEAM SURROUNDING

YOU AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO THE

CHRISTIAN LIFE, AS WELL.

100% AND AGAIN, I PRAISE MY

WIFE ALL THE TIME. WITHOUT

MEETING HER, IT WOULD NOT

JUMPSTART ME TO GET BACK TO

WHERE I SHOULD BE. AND THE TEAM

AROUND ME, MY CLOSE FRIENDS,

DIFFERENT PASTORS I'VE BEEN

ABLE TO MEET. THEY'VE PUT

WISDOM INTO ME AND IT TAKES ME

TIME TO LEARN THAT WISDOM BUT

IT IS GROWING.

Reporter: YOU'VE BEEN VERY

GENEROUS WITH YOUR TIME AND

WITH YOUR MONEY. WHY IS THAT

IMPORTANT YOU?

WHEN YOU START LISTENING AND

LEARNING ABOUT THE GOSPEL AND

LEARNING ABOUT THE BIBLE, YOU

WANT TO GIVE BACK. I HATE TO

SAY THIS BUT I'M A DEATH BUT I

DON'T WANT MY KIDS TO GO ON A

PODIUM AND BE LIKE, HE WAS A

TWO-TIME MASTERS CHAMPION.

THEY SAY THAT, I HAVE ALREADY

MISSED EVERYTHING I WAS

SUPPOSED TO DO. I HAVE BEEN

BLESSED SO MUCH. WHY NOT BLESS

OTHER PEOPLE?

WHAT A CANDID INTERVIEW FROM

A MAN WHO HAS HAD A LOT OF

GROWTH IN HIS LIFE. FOR MORE

LOVE, AND A SOUND MIND. GOD
