MIRACLE.

INSISTS IT IS BEING TRANSPARENT

, AS POSSIBLE.

THE SHOOTDOWN'S CAME AFTER A

FIGHTER JET TOOK DOWN THE

CHINESE SPY BALLOON THAT FLEW

ACROSS THE COUNTRY. ALL OF

THESE INCIDENTS HAVE INCREASED

THE TENSIONS BETWEEN THE U.S.

AND CHINA. DALE HURD HAS THE

STORY.

Reporter: U.S. OFFICIALS SAY

A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THE

ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY FROM THE

CHINESE SPY BALLOON THAT FLEW

OVER THE U.S. AND WAS SHOT

DOWN 10 DAYS AGO, HAS BEEN

RECOVERED FROM THE FLOOR OF THE

ATLANTIC. OFFICIALS SAY THE

PAYLOAD CARRIED BY THE BALLOON

LATER WOUND 2000 POUNDS AND

WAS A SIZE OF THREE SCHOOL

BUSES . IN ADDITION TO THEIR

CRAFT SHUT DOWN OFF THE

CAROLINAS, MILITARY JETS DOWN

DAY FLOW LOW-FLYING

CYLINDRICAL OBJECT IN ALASKA. A

SIMILAR OBJECT IN CANADA. AND

ANOTHER OVER LAKE HURON. THE

SECRETARY OF DEFENSE LLOYD

AUSTIN SAID THE RECOVERY

EFFORTS AT EACH LOCATION ARE

ONGOING.

THESE OBJECTS DO NOT PRESENT

A MILITARY THREAT TO ANYONE ON

THE GROUND. THEY DO HOWEVER

PRESENT A RISK TO CIVIL

AVIATION AND POTENTIALLY AN

INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION THREAT.

Reporter: ONE WHITE HOUSE

OFFICIAL SAID SO FAR THERE IS

LITTLE INDICATION SOME OF THE

OBJECTS WERE ANYTHING MORE THAN

WHETHER OR SCIENCE BALLOONS.

SINCE THEY APPARENTLY HAD NO

COMMUNICATION SIGNALS, AND NO

MANEUVERING OR PROPULSION

CAPABILITIES. NORAD, WHICH IS

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NATIONS AIR

DEFENSE SAID IT HAS ADJUSTED

ITS RADARS TO LOOK FOR MORE OF

THE OBJECTS.

ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE

THINK WE ARE SEEING MORE, IS

BECAUSE WE ARE LOOKING FOR

MORE. THEY HAVE MODIFIED THE

FILTERS AND THE GAINS, AS WE

CALL IT, OF THE RADAR

CAPABILITIES TO LOOK MORE

DISCREETLY AT HIGH ALTITUDE ,

SMALL RADAR CROSS-SECTION, AND

LOW SPEED OBJECTS.

Reporter: THE WHITE HOUSE

SAYS IT IS ESTABLISHING A TEAM

TO INVESTIGATE THE OBJECTS .

AND THE ADMINISTRATION SOUGHT

TO PUT THE REST INTERNET RUMORS

, THE BALLOONS CAME FROM

EXTRATERRESTRIALS.

THERE IS NO INDICATION OF

ALIENS OR EXTRATERRESTRIAL

ACTIVITY.

Reporter: LAWMAKERS FROM

BOTH PARTIES ARE DEMANDING MORE

TRANSPARENCY FROM THE WHITE

HOUSE. WHICH HAS BEEN SLOW TO

THE BOWLS INFORMATION ABOUT

THE OBJECTS. THE BALLOON

INCIDENTS HAVE LED TO SOME

TENSE EXCHANGES BETWEEN THE

UNITED STATES AND CHINA. WITH

BOTH NATIONS ACCUSING THE OTHER

OF SPYING. AT THE SAME TIME,

CHINA HAS ALSO RAISED TENSIONS

WITH HIS NEIGHBORS . IN THE

DISPUTED SOUTH CHINA SEA ON

MONDAY, A CHINESE COAST GUARD

SHIP AIMED A LASER AT A

PHILIPPINE COAST GUARD SHIP,

TEMPORARIL BLINDING SOME OF

ITS CREW. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED

A FEW DAYS AFTER THE PHILIPPINE

AND JAPAN AGREED TO BOOST

THEIR DEFENSE COOPERATION. THE

PHILIPPINES CALL THE LASER

INCIDENT, A BLATANT VIOLATION

OF PINELLAS SOVEREIGN RIGHTS .

CHINA CLAIMS VIRTUALLY ALL OF

THE SOUTH CHINA SEA, AS ITS

TERRITORY.

TENSIONS ARE RATCHETING UP.

YOU HAD A U.S. GENERAL,

ESSENTIALLY CLAIM THAT WAR

WITH CHINA IS INEVITABLE. LAST

YEAR YOU HAD THE PRESIDENT OF

CHINA TELLING HIS OWN MILITARY

TO PREPARE FOR WAR. IN ALL OF

THIS, DOWNING SPY BALLOON'S

AND THESE UFOs THAT WE DON'T

KNOW WHAT THEY ARE OR WHAT

COUNTRY THEY ARE FROM . ALL OF

THIS . THE TENSION BETWEEN

CHINA AND THE PHILIPPINES,

SECURITY AGREEMENTS BEING

SIGNED BETWEEN THE PHILIPPINES,

JAPAN, JAPAN AND THE UNITED

STATES . BIDEN TALKING ABOUT

FORWARD BASES FOR MARINES TO

DEFEND TAIWAN. ALL OF THIS IS A

VERY TENSE MOMENT. WE NEED TO

PRAY FOR PEACE. ANY KIND OF WAR

IN THE PACIFIC WOULD BE

ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING. WE DO

NOT WANT THAT , AT ALL. I HOPE

AND I CERTAINLY PRAY, THAT

THESE FORCES STAND DOWN AND

RESTRAINT COMES BACK INTO THE

PICTURE.

> ANOTHER DEADLY SHOOTING IN

AMERICA. THIS TIME ON A

COLLEGE CAMPUS AT MICHIGAN

STATE UNIVERSITY. EFREM GRAHAM

HAS A STORY FROM THE CBN

NEWSROOM.

> THE GUNMAN OPENED FIRE

MONDAY NIGHT AT THE UNIVERSITY,

KILLING THREE STUDENTS AND

CRITICALLY WOUNDING FIVE MORE

PEOPLE BEFORE KILLING HIMSELF .

FRIGHT STUDENTS HID IN THE DARK

AFTER POLICE ISSUED AN ALERT ON

TWITTER AT ABOUT IT:30 EASTERN

SAYING THEY SHOULD SHELTER IN

PLACE.

I DIDN'T THINK TWICE. THERE

WAS A NATURAL INSTINCT TO RUN.

ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER THE

FIRST WARNING A SECOND SHOOTING

WAS REPORTED AT THE POPULAR

MSU UNION. HUNDREDS OF OFFICERS

LOOK FOR THE SUSPECT. THEY

SOON ANNOUNCED THE 43-YEAR-OLD

SHOOTER DIED OF A

SELF-INFLICTED GUNSHOT WOUND

AFTER OFFICERS CONFRONTED HIM.

THE 43-YEAR-OLD MALE IS NOT

AFFILIATED , IN ANY WAY WITH

MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY. HE

IS NOT A STUDENT, FACULTY,

STAFF. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHY HE

CAME TO CAMPUS TO DO THIS

TONIGHT.

POLICE REPORT SOME OF THE

HOSPITALIZED VICTIMS STILL HAVE

LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES.

> I WANT TO TURN TO THE

AFTERMATH OF THOSE CATASTROPHIC

EARTHQUAKES IN TURKEY AND

SYRIA. RESCUERS ARE STILL

FINDING SURVIVORS AMID THE

RUBBLE MORE THAN A WEEK AFTER

THE DEVASTATION SWEPT THE

REGION. IT IS THE WORST NATURAL

DISASTER IN TURKEY'S HISTORY.

AS CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS, THE

COUNTRY WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH

AN ENORMOUS REBUILDING EFFORT

AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE FACE THE

CHALLENGE OF PUTTING THEIR

LIVES BACK TOGETHER.

Reporter: THE DEVASTATION OF

DESTROYED BUILDINGS, HOMES AND

BUSINESSES , STRETCHES NEARLY

300 MILES. THIS GRAPHIC SHOWS

THE DESTRUCTION ZONE IN TURKEY

, AFTER THE TWO MASSIVE

EARTHQUAKES AND DOZENS OF

AFTERSHOCKS. AS A COMPARISON ,

IT IS THE SAME AREA NORTH OF

NEW YORK CITY TO SOUTH OF

WASHINGTON, D.C., INCLUDING NEW

JERSEY, MARYLAND, DELAWARE AND

PART OF PENNSYLVANIA. THE

COUNTRY FACES A MASSIVE

REBUILDING PROGRAM. MILLIONS OF

THE CITIZENS ARE SUFFERING

FROM POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS .

FROM THE HARROWING AND

TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES, LIKE

THIS PERSON.

[ SPEAKING NON-ENGLISH ] I

TIED MY CHILDREN AND THEY WENT

DOWN. THEN MY WIFE AND ME.

THERE ARE NO SHOES. THE

BUILDING COLLAPSED. WE THOUGHT

DEATH HAD COME AT THAT MOMENT.

Reporter: THE COMBINED DEATH

TOLL BETWEEN TURKEY AND SYRIA

STANDS AT 37,000. WITH TENS OF

THOUSANDS MORE INJURED AND LEFT

HOMELESS. TO PROVIDE MATERIAL

SUPPORT AND HOPE TO THE TURKISH

PEOPLE, CBS OPERATION BLESSING

> COMING UP. 20 BILLION

DEVICES CONNECTED TO THE

INTERNET FROM LIGHT BULBS,

CAMERAS AND EVEN YOUR

REFRIGERATOR. HERE IS THE SCARY

PART , THEY ARE ALL VULNERABLE

TO GETTING HACKED. SEE HOW YOU

CAN PROTECT YOURSELF FROM A

CYBER ATTACK. THIS MMA HOPEFUL

WANTED TO BE THE ULTIMATE

FIGHTER.

> HIS WIFE JUST WANTED HIM TO

FIGHT FOR HIS MARRIAGE. GO

INSIDE THE EPIC BATTLE THAT

NEARLY KNOCKED THEM BOTH OUT.

THAT STORY IS LATER ON TODAY'S

SHOW.

> IT IS CALLED THE INTERNET

OF THINGS. EVERYDAY DEVICES

LIKE YOUR APPLIANCES OR YOUR

HOME SECURITY SYSTEM. THEY ARE

CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET SO

YOU CAN CHECK ON THEM WHEN YOU

ARE AWAY FROM HOME. SOME OF

THOSE DEVICES CAN INCLUDE

IMPORTANT PERSONAL INFORMATION

. AS MARK MARTIN REPORTS, HAT

CAN BE A HACKERS DREAM.

YOU HAVE A REPRESENTATION

OF THE ACTUAL THERMOSTAT. IT

HAS YOUR CURRENT TEMPERATURE ON

IT . IT ALSO HAS YOUR TARGET

TEMPERATURE.

Reporter: HE CAN CONTROL HIS

HOME THERMOSTAT REMOTELY

THROUGH HIS PHONE. THE

THERMOSTAT IS PART OF THE

INTERNET OF THINGS, OR IoT.

AT WORK I CAN GET A CALL

FROM MY WIFE AND SAY CAN YOU

LOOK INTO THIS OR CHANGE THE

TEMPERATURE OR WHATEVER. IT

ALSO HAS AN ABILITY TO SCHEDULE

WHEN YOU'RE HEAT WILL GO ON

AND TURN OFF.

THE INTERNET OF THINGS IS

SOMETHING THAT EVERYBODY DEALS

WITH EVERY DAY. IT COULD BE A

CHIP IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR. IT

IS ANYTHING THAT IS CONVENIENT

IN YOUR HOUSE LIKE SECURITY

SYSTEM, THE CAMERAS THAT YOU

HAVE AT YOUR DOOR , ANY OF

THESE TYPES OF DEVICES THAT YOU

HAVE INSTALLED ON YOUR HOUSE.

SMART LIGHTBULBS. THOSE ARE ALL

PART OF THE INTERNET OF THINGS.

Reporter: FROM HVAC SYSTEMS

TO KITCHEN APPLIANCES AND

GARAGE DOOR OPENERS, THE

INTERNET OF THINGS IS

WIDESPREAD. ACCORDING TO ONE

ESTIMATE THERE ARE MORE THAN 20

BILLION IoT DEVICES AROUND THE

WORLD. OTHER EXAMPLES INCLUDE

MEDICAL DEVICES AND CARS WITH

BUILT IN SENSORS.

IT IS PREVALENT. IT IS

TYPICALLY BASED ON EMBEDDED

DEVICES THAT WE DON'T SEE.

SOMETIMES WE DON'T RECOGNIZE

JUST HOW PREVALENT IT IS.

I DID NOT KNOW UNTIL IT WAS

INSTALLED THAT I WAS GOING TO

HAVE IT. ONCE I HAD IT, IT

SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA TO BE

ABLE TO CONTROL STUFF. THE

PROGRAMMING IS MUCH EASIER ON

THE iPHONE THAN IT IS ON THE

THERMOSTAT.

Reporter: THEY WON THAT

USES NEED TO BE CAUTIOUS, WHEN

IT COMES TO CONVENIENCE.

THE EASIER YOU MAKE IT FOR

YOURSELF , THE MORE CONVENIENT

YOU MAKE IT FOR YOURSELF, THE

MORE CONVENIENT YOU ARE MAKING

IT FOR HACKERS TO GET INTO YOUR

PHONE. INTO YOUR HOUSE. INTO

YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM.

Reporter: REGENT UNIVERSITY

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR AGREES.

IoT IS VERY VULNERABLE. THE

REASON BEING IS , USUALLY THESE

DEVICES WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE

ON THE INTERNET ON THE FIRST

PLACE. SO HAVING INTERNET

CAPABILITY . AS A RESULT THEY

DO NOT HAVE THE NORMAL

CONTROLS THAT WOULD HAVE ON A

TRADITIONAL COMPUTER. LIKE YOUR

LAPTOP . THEY ARE LIMITED

BECAUSE OF THAT. AS A RESULT IT

IS EASY FOR HACKERS TO GET IN

AND CAUSE DAMAGE.

Reporter: ONCE THEY GET IN

THE DANGER CAN MULTIPLY , AS

HACKERS CAN TARGET THE DEVICE

THAT PROVIDES THE MOST ACCESS.

YOU CAN IMAGINE IF SOMEONE

WERE TO GET IN TO THE METER AND

GET THE DATA . THE HOUSE HAS

THE RECORDS OF THE PEOPLE IN

THE LOCALITY AND SO ON. BY SOME

EXTENSION THEY CAN END UP

GETTING PEOPLE'S SOCIAL

SECURITY NUMBERS AND THE LIKE.

ALL OF THEM REALLY NEED TO BE

LOOKED INTO.

Reporter: HOW DO YOU PROTECT

YOURSELF? THEY ARE THE SIZE

PASSWORD PROTECTION, INCLUDING

CHANGING DEFAULT PASSWORDS.

ANY DEVICES OR ANYTHING YOU

BUY OR ANY SMALL BUSINESS,

CHANGE THE PASSWORDS. YOU

MANAGE THE PASSWORDS.

OTHER TIPS INCLUDE KEEPING

SOFTWARE UPDATED, MAKING SURE

YOU ARE CYBER READY LIKE BEING

ON THE LOOKOUT FOR PHONY

EMAILS, AND KNOWING WHAT

INTERNET OF THINGS DEVICES YOU

ACTUALLY HAVE . HE SAYS HAVING

AN IoT THERMOSTAT DID MAKE HIM

LEERY OF HACKERS, BUT HE

BELIEVES IT IS WORTH THE RISK

IF YOU ARE ON THE DEFENSIVE .

I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ATTACK. I

HAVE DOUBLE PROTECTION ,

PASSWORD PROTECTION AND

ENCRYPTION. AND MY ROUTER IS

PROTECTED. BY AND ENCRYPTION

SYSTEM.

THE DEVICES MAKE IT MORE

CONVENIENT AND WHEN YOU HAVE

DEVICES WHERE YOU CAN REGULATE

YOUR HOME TEMPERATURE WHEN YOU

ARE FAR AWAY , IT SOUNDS

WONDERFUL. BUT WE NEED TO MAKE

SURE THAT WE ARE PROTECTED.

PART OF THAT IS MAKING SURE

YOUR PASSWORDS ARE NOT EASY TO

GUESS AND PASSWORDS THAT HAVE

PASSWORD PROTECTION WRITTEN ALL

OVER THEM , IT IS NOT EASILY

DISCOVERABLE. THE PROBLEM WITH

THAT IS IT IS HARD TO REMEMBER

THEM. IF YOU FORGET, WHERE IS

MY PASSWORD ? EVEN HAVING IT

WRITTEN DOWN SOMEWHERE CAN

BECOME A SECURITY RISK AS WELL.

PLEASE PROTECT HERSELF. THESE

WIRELESS NETWORKS SEEM TO BE

ALL OVER, I WAS TRYING TO

COUNT THE NUMBER OF ONES IN MY

HOUSE. I THINK I HAVE THREE.

IT MAY BE MORE. IT IS ONE OF

THOSE THINGS. ALL WE PASSWORD

PROTECTED AND ARE WE MAKING

SURE THAT PERSONAL INFORMATION

IS NOT ON THAT NETWORK.

PLEASE PROTECT YOURSELF.

DEVASTATING NEWS ABOUT HER

UNBORN BABY. SHE NEEDED

MULTIPLE HEART SURGERIES AS

SOON AS SHE WAS BORN. HERE HOW

THAT SET THE STAGE FOR A

VALENTINE'S DAY MIRACLE, LATER

ON TODAY'S 700 CLUB.

> CASEY DREAMED OF BECOMING

AN MMA FIGHTER. HE TRAINED

NEARLY EVERY DAY. HE SPARRED

WITH OTHER PROFESSIONAL

FIGHTERS . EVEN MAKING SOME OF

THEM TAP OUT. STILL THERE WAS

ONE FIGHT HE COULD NOT WIN.

AND IT NEARLY COST HIM HIS

MARRIAGE.

IS A MARRIED MAN I HAD NO

BUSINESS BEING THEY ARE. I

FELT A LOST. AND LUST IS

HEAVY. I USED TO JUDGE DAVID

UNTIL I BECAME HUMAN .

Reporter: HE WAS A CHAMPION

HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING WITH A

TOUGH PAST. DURING HIS JUNIOR

YEAR HE FELL IN LOVE WITH HIS

CLASSMATE MELISSA WHO WAS A

DEVOUT CHRISTIAN.

WE BECAME FRIENDS FIRST AND

AT THE SAME TIME, MY SPANISH

TEACHER INTRODUCED ME TO THE

BIBLE. HE STARTED READING THE

SCRIPTURE AND ASKING ME IF I

KNEW WHO JESUS WAS. I STARTED

DOING BIBLE STUDY WITH HIM.

MELISSA SAW THAT AND THAT GAVE

HER SOME CONFIDENCE TO DATE ME.

THE SEEDS PLANTED IN ME BY MY

SPANISH TEACHER WERE VERY

IMPORTANT.

Reporter: THEY GOT MARRIED

WHEN THEY WERE 19 YEARS OLD.

KC WRESTLED IN JR. COLLEGE AND

BEGAN TRAINING FOR MMA CAGE

FIGHTING.

WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND AT

THAT STAGE IN OUR LIFE,

FIGHTING WAS RELATIVELY NEW. I

DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT AS

FAR AS LIFESTYLE AND HOW IT

WOULD AFFECT OUR MARRIAGE.

I WANTED TO WIN. I WANTED TO

SHOW PEOPLE THAT THE UNDERDOG

COULD WIN. I WANTED TO FIGHT.

I AM A FIGHTER.

Reporter: IN HIS HOMETOWN IN

CALIFORNIA, KC POURED HIMSELF

INTO MMA TRAINNG NEARLY EVERY

@IN LAS VEGAS , WITH THE GOAL OF

FIGHTING IN THE UFC.

MY WRESTLING COACH, ROCKY ,

HE WARNED ME AGAINST TRAINING

WITH CERTAIN PEOPLE IN MMA AND

HE TOLD ME IT WILL CHANGE YOU.

HE MEANT TAMALE. THIS IS WHEN

THE PROBLEM STARTED FOR ME. I

DID NOT KNOW HOW PROFESSIONAL

ATHLETES WERE. I WENT TO THE

STRIP CLUBS WITH THEM. AT FIRST

I WENT MY HANDS SHOOK

VIOLENTLY. I ONLY DID THAT

THREE TIMES AND AFTER THE

THIRD TIME MY HANDS DID NOT

SHAKE. I KNEW IT WAS WRONG BUT

IT WAS SO EXOTIC. JUST SEEN ALL

THAT , WHAT THE HECK? THERE

ARE ALL KINDS OF GIRL. EVERY

SHAPE AND COLOR. FLESH IS

POWERFUL. ABSOLUTELY POWERFUL.

THAT TEMPTATION WAS HEAVY. I

DID NOT LIKE IT BECAUSE I KNEW

IT WAS WRONG. EVERY TIME I

LEFT I LITERALLY LOOKED UP AND

SAID I AM SORRY, GOD. I COULD

NOT STOP. I KEPT GOING BACK TO

THE STRIP CLUBS. TRIP BEFORE

LONG , HE BEGAN HAVING AN

AFFAIR WITH THE DANCER.

MELISSA FOUND OUT WHAT WAS

GOING ON AND WAS DEVASTATED.

I COULD NOT BEAR IT

ANYMORE. I WAS CONSTANTLY SAD

AND DEPRESSED AND I ASKED HIM

TO CHOOSE. HE WAS A FIGHTER.

AND I WANTED HIM TO FIGHT FOR

US .

I WAS TRYING TO BUY TIME

BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO GET ON

THE OUTDOOR FIGHTERS SHOW. SHE

WENT TO THE BANK AND GOT HALF

THE MONEY UP A BANK ACCOUNT AND

SHE COMES HOME AND SAYS, YOU

HAVE A CHOICE. HALF OF THIS IS

YOURS. IF YOU WANT THAT LIFE,

TAKE THIS MONEY AND LEAVE YOUR

RING. I AM WITHIN MY RIGHT TO

DIVORCE YOU. WHEN SHE SAID

THAT, IT SCARED ME. IN MY

MIND, THE ONLY PERSON THAT

LOVED ME UNCONDITIONALLY. THAT

IS WHEN I CALLED UP MY SPANISH

TEACHER AND ASKED, WHAT DO I

DO? HE SAID YOU GET ON YOUR

KNEES AND CRY OUT TO GOD. I

SAID I DON'T HAVE TIME. I HAVE

BECOME SO EGOTISTICAL I DID NOT

HAVE TIME FOR GOD OR JESUS . IT

WAS ABOUT ME. I WAS SELFISH. I

WANTED TO BE A CHAMPION. HE

CAME UP AND SHOWED ME WHO I WAS

IN THE BIBLE . I SAID, THAT IS

NOT ME. HE SAID, WHAT ARE YOU

GOING TO DO? I PICKED MY WIFE.

WHEN SHE CAME HOME FROM WORK

THAT DAY I WAS STILL HOME. SHE

GOES, GOOD.

Reporter: KC MOVED IN WITH

THE SPANISH HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER

AND AVOIDED THE OUTSIDE

INFLUENCES FROM THE MMA WORLD .

HE BEGAN READING THE BIBLE.

WHEN I READ ABOUT JESUS

THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE I

WANTED. I WAS HOOKED FROM THE

SECOND I OPENED THAT BIBLE. I

HAD NOTHING ELSE. I WAS

WORKING OUT AT HOME. I WENT IN

THE BIBLE. I WOULD LOOK UP AND

SAY, WHY DO YOU DO THIS FOR US?

I KNOW WHO I AM. I AM SELFISH .

I STARTED FALLING IN LOVE WITH

JESUS. AND I STARTED TO MISS

MY WIFE. AND I SPENT SIX

MONTHS ALONE WITHOUT HER. THAT

IS WHEN I STARTED TO GROW WITH

THE LORD.

Reporter: MELISSA SAW THE

CHANGES TAKING PLACE IN HIS

HEART AND CHARACTER.

HE WAS THINKING MORE ABOUT

US , AS A COUPLE AND OUR

MARRIAGE. AND GOD'S PLAN , VAN

HIS PLAN, HIS OWN PLAN.

AS I GOT CLOSER TO JESUS, I

WAS GETTING CLOSER TO MELISSA.

WE WOULD READ BIBLE TOGETHER.

AND READ SCRIPTURE AND THEN GO

WORK OUT TOGETHER. SHE BECAME A

TRAINING PARTNER AND MY BEST

FRIEND . I FELL IN LOVE WITH

MELISSA DIFFERENT.

Reporter: KC COMMITTED HIS

LIFE TO CHRIST AND THEY MOVED

BACK IN TOGETHER AND SOON AFTER

STARTED A FAMILY. TODAY , THEIR

MARRIAGE IS SOLID, WITH JESUS

AS THE FOUNDATION.

WE WERE TWO YOUNG PEOPLE.

IT WAS REAL LOVE BUT I WAS IN

LOVE WITH MYSELF ALSO. NOW I AM

IN LOVE WITH HER AND NOT ME.

THAT IS WHAT PICKING UP THE

CROSSING CARING IT DAILY

MEANS, YOU PICK YOUR WIFE OVER

YOURSELF.

GOD CAN BACK INTO MY LIFE

AND MY HUSBAND'S LIFE AND WE

BOTH HAD TO REALLY TRUST AND

RELY ON HIM AND GROW IN HIM.

AND I THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE

MOST IMPORTANT THINGS. IS HOW

WE BOTH CHOSE TO STAY TOGETHER

, AND GROW TOWARDS GOD.

I HAVE A GOOD LIFE AND I

DON'T DESERVE IT. BUT I AM

GRATEFUL.

THAT IS A SURVIVAL STORY.

THE SURVIVAL OF A MARRIAGE .

WHAT GOD HAS PUT TOGETHER, LET

NO ONE PUT ASUNDER. THE YOU

HEAR THE HONESTY AND WHAT KC

SAYS? HE SAYS, I KNEW WHAT WAS

WRONG BUT I WENT AHEAD. THE

FIRST THREE TIMES HE WENT TO

ONE OF THOSE CLUBS, HIS HANDS

SHOOK VIOLENTLY . AFTER THE

THIRD TIME , IT DID NOT SHAKE

ANYMORE. YOU COULD GET TO A

POINT WHERE YOUR CONSCIENCE

GETS STEERED. WHERE YOU NO

LONGER THINK IT IS WRONG OR

YOU NO LONGER PHYSICALLY REACT

TO IT BEING WRONG. AND THEN

YOU JUST GET USED TO THAT NEW

REALITY . AND YOU GET TRAPPED

IN IT . AND IT LITERALLY

ENSLAVES YOUR HEART. THE BIBLE

IS QUITE CLEAR. YOU CAN FIND IT

IN THE BOOK OF HOSEA . HARLOTRY

IS LIKE IDOLATRY. IT ENSLAVES

THE HEART. THE VERY THING THAT

IS KILLING YOU, THE VERY THING

THAT SEPARATES YOU FROM GOD ,

YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH. IT

ENSLAVES YOU. AND MAKES YOU A

SLEEVE TO YOUR OWN PASSION.

INSTEAD OF SELF-CONTROL, YOU

ARE OUT OF CONTROL. AND YOU

ARE FOCUSED ON THINGS THAT YOU

KNOW ARE DESTRUCTIVE. HERE

WHAT KC SAID AND HERE IT

LOUD AND CLEAR. I KNEW IT WAS

WRONG. I USED TO JUDGE DAVID,

UNTIL I BECAME HIM. THE VERY

THING YOU FEAR, THE VERY THING

YOU JUDGE, YOU TURN INTO. FOR

DAVID, HE KNEW IT WAS WRONG.

AND HE TOOK IT TO OTHER STEPS

AND OTHER DEGREES WHERE HE

ADDED MURDER TO THE CHARGE OF

ADULTERY. BUT AT THE END OF ALL

THAT , HE ACKNOWLEDGED HIS SIN

. AND JUST LIKE THE DISCIPLES,

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS

NO PLACE ELSE FOR YOU TO GO.

BECAUSE JESUS HAS THE WORDS OF

LIFE. I GOT SOME GOOD NEWS FOR

YOU. GOD FOR GAVE DAVID. GOD

FOR GAVE KC. GOD WILL FORGIVE

YOU , BUT YOUHAVE TO TURN FROM

IT. AND YOU HAVE TO DO EXACTLY

WHAT KC DID. HE SPENT SIX

MONTHS, JUST TRYING TO

REESTABLISH HIS RELATIONSHIP

WITH GOD. FOR DAVID, HE FASTED

AND PRAYED AND IN THE TEMPLE HE

REPENTED AND SAID, WHERE ELSE

CAN I GO? THE SAME FOR THE

DISCIPLES . WHERE ELSE CAN WE

GO? YOU HAVE THE WORDS OF

LIFE. LET THAT BE YOUR TURNING

POINT. TODAY, RESOLVE, THAT

ONLY JESUS CAN BRING YOU LIFE

BECAUSE HE IS THE WAY, THE

TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. YOU

CANNOT POSSIBLY COME TO THE

FATHER, EXCEPT THROUGH HIM.

AND WHEN YOU RECOGNIZE THAT

AND YOU RECOGNIZE WHAT IS

LURING YOUR AWAY, WHETHER IT

IS HARLOTRY OR IDOLATRY OR

WHATEVER YOU PUT UP AS A GOAL

IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU THINK

WILL GIVE YOU A GOOD TIME OR

GIVE YOU PLEASURE OR GIVE YOU

THINGS , IT WILL NOT GIVE YOU

ANY OF THAT. IT IS ONLY GOING

TO LEAD YOU AWAY. AND THEN YOU

FIND THE GREAT TRUTH , THAT

WHEN YOU COME TO HIM , YOU GET

EVERYTHING. AND FOR KC HE CAME

TO A GREATER TRUTH IN HIS

MARRIAGE . I NO LONGER LOVE

MYSELF , I LOVE MELISSA. I

LOVE MY WIFE. AND JUST AS JESUS

CAME FOR YOU AND ME , HE LOVED

US SO MUCH HE WAS WILLING TO

GIVE HIS LIFE FOR US. AS A

HUSBAND, THAT IS YOUR NUMBER

ONE RESPONSIBILITY. YOU LAY

DOWN YOUR LIFE , FOR YOUR

FAMILY , FOR YOUR COMMITMENT.

IF ALL OF THIS IS BRAND-NEW TO

YOU , I WANT YOU TO DO

SOMETHING WITH ME. I WANT YOU

TO BOW YOUR HEAD AND PRAY A

PRAYER. IF YOU HAVE HEARD THIS

MESSAGE BEFORE, AND YOU HAVE

MADE A DECISION FOR CHRIST ,

BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON, LIKE

KC YOU WALKED AWAY, YOU GOT

TEMPTED AND YOU FELL INTO

TEMPTATION AND NOW YOU CANNOT

FIND YOUR WAY BACK. MAYBE YOU

PUT ON A PUBLIC FACE AND YOU

KNOW INSIDE YOU ARE NOT DOING

THE RIGHT THING. THIS IS FOR

YOU ALSO. YOU CAN COME BACK.

JUST AS KC DID AND JUST AS

DAVID DID . YOU CAN COME BACK.

BUT IT TAKES YOU MAKING THE

TURNAROUND TO SAY, I DON'T

WANT TO LIVE. I WANT HIM TO

LIVE THROUGH ME. MAKE THAT

DECISION WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART

. THIS PRAYER IS FOR YOU. BOW

YOUR HEAD WITH ME. LET'S PRAY

THIS SIMPLE PRAYER. AND JESUS

WILL DO WHAT HE DID FOR DAVID,

JESUS WILL DO WHAT HE DID FOR

KC. JESUS WILL DO WHAT HE IS

VERY GOOD AT DOING, SAVING YOU.

HE WILL DO THAT RIGHT NOW.

JESUS, SAY HIS NAME OUT LOUD ,

JESUS , I HAVE WANDERED AWAY

FROM YOU. I HAVE BEEN LED AWAY

BY MY OWN HEART. THE LUST OF

MY OWN EYES, THE LAST OF MY

HEART, THE LAST OF MY FLESH, I

HAVE BEEN LED AWAY. JESUS, I

TURN TO YOU. AND I ASK THAT

YOU RESTORE ME, THAT YOU

FORGIVE ME. RESTORE THE JOY

OF MY SALVATION. LET ME KNOW

THAT YOU HAVE HEARD MY PRAYER.

THAT YOU FORGIVE MY SIN. AND

YOU HAVE SET ME FREE. AND

JESUS , I WANT TO FOLLOW YOU,

ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE. I

WANT TO BE THE MAN YOU WANT ME

TO BE. HEAR MY PRAYER. COME

INTO MY HEART. MAKE ME NEW

AGAIN. FOR I ASK IT ALL, IN

JESUS' NAME. AMEN. IF YOU

PRAYED WITH ME, ONE MORE THING

I WANT YOU TO DO. THE BIBLE

SAYS IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR

MOUTH, YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR

HEART , AND CONFESS WITH YOUR

HEART, YOU SHALL BE SAVED. WE

MADE IT EASY. PICK UP THE PHONE

AND CALL US. 1-800-700-7000.

> STILL AHEAD. AND

UNFORGETTABLE VALENTINE'S DAY.

AND NO FLOWERS WERE INVOLVED.

NO CHOCOLATES . IT WAS JUST

ONE PERFECTLY HEALTHY HEART.

ONE FAMILY TELLS US ABOUT THEIR

HOLIDAY MIRACLE. RIGHT AFTER

THIS.

> ANGIE AND JORDAN SULLIVAN

HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED THEIR

BEST VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT EVER.

IT CAME COURTESY OF A SURPRISE

PHONE CALL AND IT INVOLVED

THEIR DAUGHTER GETTING A

BRAND-NEW HEART.

WHEN THE DOCTOR WALKED IN

SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID,

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH

YOUR BABY'S HEART.

Reporter: INJURY SULLIVAN

WAS FIVE MONTHS PREGNANT WITH

HER THIRD DAUGHTER WHEN A

ROUTINE SONOGRAM REVEALED THE

BABY HAD A RARE BIRTH DEFECT

THAT CAUSES THE LEFT SIDE OF

THE HEART TO BE SEVERELY

UNDERDEVELOPED. SHE CALLED HER

HUSBAND WITH THE NEWS.

MY HEART SANK. I DID NOT

LIKE MY WIFE CRYING. I DID NOT

LIKE THE POSSIBILITY OF WHAT

COULD COME FROM THIS.

FEAR. DISAPPOINTMENT. SHOCK.

DISBELIEF. YOU NEVER WANTED TO

BE YOU ARE YOUR KID.

Reporter: BABY BLAIR WOULD

REQUIRE SEVERAL CORRECTIVE

SURGERIES AT BIRTH TO SURVIVE .

ANGIE AND JORDAN REACHED OUT

TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO PRAY

AND ESTABLISH A FACEBOOK PAGE.

WITHOUT THE COMMUNITY

SUPPORT I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE

WOULD HAVE DONE. I DON'T KNOW

IF WE WOULD HAVE HAD THE

STRENGTH TO GET THROUGH IT.

WITHOUT THEM AND THEIR PRAYER.

Reporter: THEY WELCOMED

BLAIR INTO THE WORLD WITH A

MIX OF HOPE AND FEAR.

I WAS SOAKING IT IN AND

SEEING ALL HER FINGERS AND TOES

. TO SEE WHAT SHE ACTUALLY

LOOKS LIKE IN PERSON. IT WAS

VERY EXCITING.

IT WAS A RELIEF TO SEE HER

AND TAKE A BREATH AND FEEL HER

ON ME FOR A MOMENT. BUT IT WAS

KIND OF SCARY TO SEE HER TAKEN

AWAY SO QUICKLY.

Reporter: BLAIR UNDERWENT

OPEN-HEART SURGERY AT EIGHT

DAYS OLD AND IT WAS THEN THAT

DOCTORS MADE A DEVASTATING

DISCOVERY. PULMONARY STENOSIS

HAD DISABLED THE HEALTHY SIDE

OF HER HEART AND HER ONLY

CHANCE OF SURVIVAL WAS A HEART

TRANSPLANT .

IT CRUSHED MY HEART . IT IS

HARD TO KEEP YOUR FAITH IN A

TIME LIKE THAT. BUT THERE IS

NOT REALLY ANOTHER OPTION.

WE KEPT PRAYING BECAUSE IT

IS THE ONLY THING I FELT LIKE I

COULD DO TO HELP HER. I WAS NOT

ABLE TO PUT A BAND-AID ON IT.

IT WAS NOT SOMETHING I CAN

PHYSICALLY HELP HER OVERCOME.

THE ONLY THING I COULD DO TO

HELP BLAIR WAS TO PRAY FOR HER.

Reporter: ONCE AGAIN, ANGIE

AND JORDAN REACHED OUT TO

OTHERS TO PRAY, INCLUDING

LAYERS 13,000 FACEBOOK

FOLLOWERS. BECAUSE OF THE

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, THEIR

PRAYERS WERE TEMPERED WITH

HUMILITY.

YOU REALIZE FOR HER TO GET A

NEW HEART THAT MEANS ANOTHER

BABY DIES . YOU DON'T WANT TO

PRAY FOR THAT. WE WOULD JUST

PRAY THAT HIS WILL BE DONE.

AND WHATEVER THAT IS, WE WOULD

BE PREPARED.

Reporter: BECAUSE OF

INFECTIONS AND OTHER

COMPLICATIONS, BLAIR WAS TAKEN

UP A TRANSPLANT LIST MULTIPLE

TIMES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL

MONTHS. ON VALENTINE'S DAY,

THE SAME DAY BLAIR WAS PUT BACK

ON THE LIST, ANGIE AND JORDAN

RECEIVED A PHONE CALL.

THE LADY ON THE PHONE SAID

WE ACCEPTED A HEART FOR BLAIR.

SAY THAT AGIN . WHAT? WE

HAVE ACCEPTED A HEART FOR

BLAIR.

I WAS IN DISBELIEF. I MADE

HER REPEAT HERSELF. I DID NOT

BELIEVE HER.

BOTH OF US SANK IN OUR

CHAIRS WITH JOY. WE HUGGED AND

CRIED. IT WAS A SPECIAL

VALENTINE'S DAY. BEFORE HE

WENT TO BED, I SAID THIS IS A

VALENTINE'S DAY I WILL NEVER BE

ABLE TO BEAT. THERE IS NO

FLOWERS OR GIFTS THAT WOULD

TOP GIVING OUR DAUGHTER A

HEART.

UNDERWENT A SUCCESSFUL AY BLAIR -

TRANSPLANT SURGERY. AFTER SEVEN

MONTHS IN THE HOSPITAL SHE WAS

FINALLY RELEASED AND WELCOMED

HOMED . BY A COMMUNITY PARADE.

IT WAS AMAZING. WE FINALLY

BRING HER HOME AND IT FELT

RIGHT . IT FELT LIKE THIS IS

WHERE SHE NEEDS TO BE.

SHE IS SUCH A HAPPY BABY.

ROLLING AROUND AND SITTING UP

AND PLAYING WITH ALL HER TOYS.

SHE ALWAYS HAS A SMILE. SHE IS

A HAPPY , HAPPY BABY.

Reporter: BLAIR HAS SOME

CATCHING UP TO DO BUT IS

EXPECTED TO BE ON TRACK

DEVELOPMENTALLY BY AGE 4. EACH

VALENTINE'S DAY , HER PARENTS

ARE REMINDED OF THE LOVE OF GOD

AND THE PRAYERS OF THE

FAITHFUL, AS A CELEBRATE THE

DAY THEIR LITTLE GIRL WAS GIVEN

A BRAND-NEW HEART .

ANGIE AND I BOTH BELIEVE IF

IT WERE NOT FOR THE PRAYERS OF

US, OUR FAMILY AND OUR

COMMUNITY , AND ALL THE PEOPLE

THAT FOLLOWED US ALL OVER THE

WORLD THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE A

LAYER HOME TODAY.

THIS IS A PURPOSE . TO SHARE

HER STORY AND GIVE OTHER PEOPLE

HOPE AND STRENGTH. TO GIVE

OTHER PEOPLE FAITH . YOU

DEFINITELY NEVER GIVE UP FAITH.

AND DUPREE. WHEN THERE IS

NOTHING ELSE TO DO, YOU PRAY.

YOU PRAY AND YOU TRUST GOD.

YOU HAVE FAITH. KEEP THE FAITH.

KEEP BELIEVING THAT YOUR

HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO LOVES YOU

SO INCREDIBLY MUCH, HEARS YOUR

PRAYERS AND WANTS TO ANSWER

THEM AND WILL ANSWER THEM,

ACCORDING TO HIS WILL,

ACCORDING TO HIS TIMING , WHICH

IS PERFECT FOR YOU AND FOR ME.

GOD DID A MIRACLE IN THAT

BEAUTIFUL FAMILIES LIFE AND HE

CAN DO A MIRACLE IN YOUR LIFE.

WE BELIEVE THAT WITH OUR

HEARTS AND MINDS TODAY. GORDON

AND I WILL PRAY FOR YOUR NEEDS.

PRAYING THAT GOD WILL DO A

MIRACLE IN YOUR LIFE. WE WANT

TO ENCOURAGE YOU IN YOUR FAITH

AND BELIEVING FOR THAT. THIS

IS AN ANSWER TO PRAYER. THIS IS

DAVID OUT OF NEVADA. HE WOKE

UP WITH A SHARP PAIN IN HIS

SHOULDER. HE HOPED IT WOULD

GRADUALLY GO AWAY. SIX MONTHS

LATER HE WAS STILL IN A LOT OF

PAIN AND DISCOMFORT. WHALE

WATCHING "THE 700 CLUB" ONE

DAY, DAVID HEARD GORDON SAY,

YOU ARE PRAYING FOR YOUR RIGHT

SHOULDER. RAISE YOUR RIGHT ARM

NOW. YOU ARE HEALED. DAVID

RAISED HIS ARM IN FAITH AND ALL

THE PAIN WAS GONE. THAT IS A

MIRACLE. PRAISE GOD.

THIS IS ROSIE BY EMAIL. I

ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR TESTIMONIES

OF HEALING AND PRAYERS FOR OUR

NEEDS. ASHLEY, THE ANOINTED

ONE, PRAY FOR A PERSON WITH A

BIT ISSUE IN THE LEFT-HAND TO

BE HEALED. SHE DID NOT KNOW THE

REASON FOR THE PAIN. I DID NOT

KNOW BECAUSE . I CLAIM THE

PROMISE OF HEALING, AND NOW MY

HAND IS FREE FROM ALL PAIN. I

CLAIM THE PROMISE OF HEALING.

IT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THE

BIBLE SAYS REPEATEDLY. IN

HEBREWS, IT MEANS HERE IT.

GOD IS IN HIS WORD. LET HIS

WORD BE LIKE A SEED. THE BIBLE

COMPARES THE WORD OF GOD TO

SEEDS. BUT HIS WORD BE A SEED

THAT IS PLANTED IN YOUR HEART ,

YOUR SPIRIT, YOUR MIND AND

BODY. THAT IT BE PLANTED

WHEREVER THAT HEALING NEED IS.

LET HIS WORD GERMINATE. IT IS

ENERGIZING AND IT BRINGS LIFE

AND HEALTH. IT BRINGS

EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED. WHEN

YOU GET THAT, AND GET FULLY

THAT GOD IS HIS WORD. IN THE

BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND

THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE

WORD WAS GOD. AND THAT WORD

BECAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONG

US. I AM QUOTING FROM THE

GOSPEL OF JOHN. YOU CAN READ

THE QUOTE. WHEN YOU READ THAT

QUOTE, AND YOU FINALLY GET IT.

GOD IS IN HIS WORD AND THAT

WORD CAN BECOME FLESH. THAT

MEANS THE WORD CAN BECOME

FLESH IN YOU. GOD'S WORD IS

JUST AS POWERFUL IN YOU, AS IT

WAS IN JESUS. THAT IS A BIG

ONE FOR SOME OF YOU. OKAY. ALL

RIGHT. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

WHEN YOU HAVE JESUS COME INTO

YOUR HEART, YOU HAVE THE

ANSWER TO EVERY HUMAN NEED. THE

INFINITE POSSIBILITIES THAT ARE

WITH HIM , FOR WITH GOD ALL

THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. LET THESE

WORDS GERMINATE IN YOU. LET

THEM BRING FORTH THE FRUIT

THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BRING

FORTH. WHEN YOU PLANT A SEED

IN THE FIELD, YOU EXPECT IT TO

GROW. IF YOU PLANT A TOMATO,

YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED IF YOU

GOT CUCUMBERS. WHEN YOU PLANT

THE WORD OF GOD, YOU GET GOD.

HE IS IN HIS WORD. HE IS THE

HEALER, HE IS LOVE, HE IS

SALVATION. HE IS ALL OF THESE

THINGS. LET HIM BE YOUR ALL AND

ALL, RIGHT NOW. LET'S PRAY.

HERE IS A WONDERFUL WORD. HE

FORGIVES , ALL YOUR INIQUITIES.

HE HEALS ALL YOUR DISEASES.

HE CROWNS YOU WITH

LOVINGKINDNESS AND TENDER

MERCY. HE RENEWS YOUR USE LIKE

THE EAGLE , HE GIVES YOU

STRENGTH, WISDOM. EVERYTHING

YOU NEED. LET'S PRAY UNLESS

BELIEVE AND LET GOD'S WORD

BECOME ALIVE IN YOU. LORD GOD

ALMIGHTY WE COME TO YOU

BELIEVING AND WE ASK FOR YOUR

WORD TO BE MADE FLESH IN US.

WE ASK THAT WE WOULD BECOME

LIVING EXAMPLES OF THE POWER

OF YOUR WORD. BECAUSE YOU

STAND BY YOUR WORD TO PERFORM

IT . YOU ARE YOUR WORD . YOU

ARE IN EVERY WORD. WE HEAR IT

NOW. WE RECEIVE IT NOW. IN

JESUS' NAME. ASHLEY .

I BELIEVE SOMEONE IS

WATCHING AND YOU HAVE AN

ENLARGED HEART AND THIS IS A

CONDITION THAT CAUSES SEVERAL

OTHER PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT YOUR

BODY. YOU JOKE AND SAY I HAVE

A BIG HEART AND I LOVE PEOPLE

BUT YOU KNOW THIS IS A

CONDITION THAT YOU HAVE BEEN

WANTING GOD TO HEAL YOU OF. I

BELIEVE ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

WITH GOD. GOD CAN SHRINK

HEARTS BACK TO THE NORMAL SIZE

AND I BELIEVE HE IS DOING THAT

FOR YOU RIGHT NOW. BELIEVE IT

AND RECEIVE IT. BEGIN TO PRAISE

HIM. THE POWER OF THE HOLY

SPIRIT IS COMING UP ON YOU

RIGHT NOW. HE SEES YOU. HE

LOVES YOU. RECEIVE IT NOW.

A WOMAN IS SUFFERING WITH

THE CONSEQUENCES OF SHINGLES .

YOU HAVE NERVE PAIN AND

SCARRING. IT IS TORTURE FOR

YOU. GOD IS HEALING YOUR SKIN.

HE IS HEALING YOUR NERVES AND

TAKING AWAY ALL OF THAT. IN

JESUS' NAME, BE HEALED. SOMEONE

ELSE HAS A AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE

THAT AFFECTS YOUR SKIN. GOD IS

HEALING YOU. RECEIVE IT NOW.

LIFT YOUR HANDS TO HIM AND

PRAISE HIM FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE

FOR YOU. AMEN.

> IF YOU HAVE BEEN HEALED,

SHARE YOUR GOOD REPORT. IF YOU

NEED HEALING WE ARE HERE FOR

YOU. WE WANT THE WORD OF GOD TO

BECOME ALIVE IN YOU. HERE IS A

WORD FROM ISAIAH. TRUST IN THE

LORD ALWAYS, FOR THE LORD GOD
