FRUIT THE FEATURES SPEECHES

OF CANDIDATES. SOME POTENTIAL

CANDIDATES OPTED TO SKIP IT AS

TO BE ABOUT FORMER PRESIDENT

TRUMP .

IN 2016 I DECLARED, I AM

YOUR VOICE . TODAY I ADD, I AM

YOUR WARRIOR, I AM YOUR JUSTICE

. AND FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN

WRONGED AND BETRAYED, I AM YOUR

RETRIBUTION. I AM YOUR

RETRIBUTION.

Reporter: TRUMP CLOSE OUT

THE WEEKEND TO THE DELIGHT OF

HIS SUPPORTERS .

I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS THAT

HAVE SAID, PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS

LOST HIS MOJO. PRESIDENT TRUMP

HAS LOST NOTHING. WHEN HE

STARTS BACK ON THE CAMPAIGN

TRAIL , EVERYONE WILL SEE. AND

I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IF YOU

ARE EVERY SUPPORTER, YOU ARE

STILL A SUPPORTER. IF YOU

CALLED YOURSELF A SUPPORTER AND

NOW YOU ARE THINKING

DIFFERENTLY, YOU WERE NEVER A

TRUE SUPPORTER.

THIS IS THE HILL WE WILL DIE

ON.

CHANGE FOR THIS EVENT. IT

REAGAN AS THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER.

GREW TO BECOME A PREMIER

DESTINATION FOR RISING

CONSERVATIVES . AS TRUMP'S

DOMINATION OF THE CONVENTION

HAS GROWN, AUDIENCE NUMBERS

HAVE STAND. FORMER PRESIDENT

EASILY WON THE WEEKEND STRAW

POLL FOR THE GOP PRESIDENTIAL

NOMINATION WITH 62% OF THE

VOTE.

WE HAVE LOST THE POPULAR

VOTE IN THE LAST SEVEN OUT OF

EIGHT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS.

OUR CAUSE IS RIGHT, BUT WE HAVE

FAILED TO WIN THE CONFIDENCE OF

A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS. THAT

ENDS NOW. IF YOU ARE TIRED OF

LOSING, PUT YOUR TRUST IN A NEW

GENERATION.

Reporter: 2024 CANDIDATE AND

FORMER U.N. AMBASSADOR NIKKI

HALEY DID NOT LET THE TRUMP

FRIENDLY AUDIENCE TEMPER HER

MESSAGE. THE PARTISAN HECKLING

DID NOT SIT WELL WITH ONE OF

THE FEW STUDIES HE SEEMED READY

TO MOVE ON.

I THINK THAT THE REPUBLICAN

PARTY SOMETIMES IS GETTING A

LITTLE DIFFICULT WITH THE

MENTALITY THAT WE THINK THAT

THE PRESIDENCY WAS STOLEN FROM

TRUMP. THAT IS NOT THE CASE. HE

WILL BE CHALLENGED.

Reporter: THE ONLY OTHER

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE GUY

I AM A TRUMP SUPPORTER 100%.

I BELIEVE RON DeSANTIS IS A

GREAT GOVERNOR. AND I THINK HE

SHOULD STAY THERE FOR ANOTHER

FOUR YEARS.

IF HE RUNS THIS TIME AGAINST

DONALD TRUMP, THE MEGA

FEW MILES FROM MAR-A-LARGO,

ANOTHER INFLUENTIAL

OWN COMPETING EVENT. THE CLUB

CHILDREN SHOULD BE INSTILLED

CRITICIZED THE IDEA OF

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.

DIES. I CANNOT SEPARATE MY

BELIEF BECAUSE I AM ELECTED

OFFICIAL.

> THE DEMOCRATS, THE

REPUBLICANS, AND THE FREEDOM

CAUCAS. CAPITOL HILL

CORRESPONDED MATT GALKA

EXPLAINS.

Reporter: THE DIVIDING LINES

ON CAPITOL HILL ARE TYPICALLY

RED OR BLUE. BUT WITHIN EACH

PARTY THERE ARE CAUCUSES THAT

CHAMPION CAUSES THAT RANGE FROM

ANYTHING LIKE RELIGION TO RAMA

. BUT THE SESSION, ONE GROUP OF

REPUBLICANS IS HOPING TO

LEVERAGE SOME OF THEIR POWER.

NO PERSONS HAVE RECEIVED A

MAJORITY OF THE NUMBER OF VOTES

CAST BY SURNAME. THE SPEAKER

HAS NOT BEEN ELECTED. A

SPEAKER HAS NOT BEEN ELECTED.

A SPEAKER HAS NOT BEEN ELECTED.

Reporter: IT BEGAN AT THE

START OF THE 118th CONGRESS

WHEN IT TOOK 15 CHAOTIC ROUNDS

AND MULTIPLE DAYS OF VOTING

BEFORE ELECTING KEVIN McCARTHY

AS HOUSE SPEAKER.

McCARTHY. McCARTHY. GATES.

BIGGS.

Reporter: THANKS TO THE

EFFORTS OF THE FREEDOM CAUCAS,

McCARTHY PUT MEMBERS ON KEY

COMMITTEES AND AGREED TO RULE

CHANGES INCLUDING ONE THAT

ALLOWS ANYONE TO CALL FOR A

VOTE TO REMOVE THE HOUSE

SPEAKER.

I WOULD NOT SAY CHAOTIC.

WHAT WAS CHAOTIC ABOUT IT?

Reporter: ARIZONA REPUBLICAN

AND CAUCUS MEMBER ANDY BIGGS

PLAYED A BIG PART IN THE

ANTI-MCCARTHY CONTINGENT.

WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS WE

OPENED UP SO EVERYBODY HAS THE

OPPORTUNITY. THAT IS WHAT I

WOULD SAY HAS HAPPENED. I

THINK WE KIND OF DEMOCRATIZED

AND DECENTRALIZED SOME POWER ,

SO EVERYBODY HAS A CHANCE TO

PARTICIPATE.

Reporter: A SLIM REPUBLICAN

MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE MEANS

ALMOST ALL PARTY MEMBERS NEED

TO BE ON LORD FOR LEGISLATION.

DEMOCRATS COULD BLOCK BILLS.

THAT MEANS A GROUP WITHIN THE

GOP, SUCH AS THE HOUSE FREEDOM

CAUCAS, CAN HAVE MORE CONTROL

SINCE EACH VOTE MATTERS.

INSTEAD OF WIELDING POWER,

KEVIN HAS GOT TO LEAD AND HE

CAN DRIVE THE SHIP. BUT BY THE

SAME TOKEN EVERYBODY ELSE HAS A

BIT OF SAY IN IT. EVERYBODY

GETS TO GROW THE WAY THEY WANT

TO.

Reporter: BIGGS LAID A FORM

THAT LATE SOME OF THIS

GROUNDWORK.

IN A SENSE WE HAVE THREE

POLITICAL PARTIES IN THE HOUSE.

THE DEMOCRATS, THE

REPUBLICANS, IN THE FREEDOM

CAUCAS.

Reporter: PROMINENT FREEDOM

CAUCAS MEMBER JIM JORDAN WAS

THE STAUNCH KEVIN McCARTHY

SUPPORTER. SPLITTING FROM SOME

IN THE GROUP. HE NOW CHAIRS THE

JUDICIAL COMMITTEE AND THE

NEWLY CREATED WEAPONIZATION OF

GOVERNMENT SUBCOMMITTEE.

BELIEVES THE INFIGHTING

STRENGTHEN THE PARTY.

I THINK IT IS AN IMPORTANT

GROUP AND HAS BEEN. REMEMBER

THE MISSION STATEMENT OF THE

GROUP IS, WE THINK THERE ARE

COUNTLESS NUMBER OF FAMILIES

WHO FEEL LIKE THIS TOWN HAS

FORGOTTEN THEM. OUR JOB IN THE

FREEDOM CAUCAS IS TO REMEMBER

THEM AND FIGHT FOR THEM AND DO

WHAT WE TOLD THEM WE WOULD DO.

DON'T ASKED ME AGAIN IF I AM

A NO ON KEVIN McCARTHY.

Reporter: WHILE BOB GOOD

BEGAN SAYING, NEVER KEVIN, HE

IS NOW PREACHING REPUBLICAN

PARTY UNITY.

WE HAVE TURNED THE PAGE FROM

THE SPEAKER VOTE ON JANUARY 7.

I HAVE MET WITH KEVIN McCARTHY

AND PLEDGE MY SUPPORT AND WE

ARE UNITED. HE IS DOING AND

SAYING THE RIGHT THINGS. OUR

CONFERENCES MORE UNITED THAN

EVER. WE REALIZED WE NEED TO

STICK TOGETHER WITH 222 OF US.

Reporter: TWO OTHER

REPUBLICANS, THE PARTY IS NOT

DEFINED BY ONE GROUP BUT BY THE

PRINCIPLE THAT THE GOP CAN

GOVERN INDEPENDENTLY.

I THINK WE HAVE A CLARITY

ANY PURPOSE AND A DEEP

UNDERSTANDING THAT WE NEED TO

WORK TOGETHER TO MOVE THIS

COUNTRY IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

TO BEND THE ARC OF HISTORY

TOWARD FREEDOM. WE ARE DOING IT

IN A MORE UNIFIED FASHION. I

DON'T WANT TO SAY IT IS ALL CAN

BUY OUR, BUT I WOULD SAY THE 20

HOLDOUTS AND THE 200 EARLY

McCARTHY SUPPORTERS ARE WORKING

TOGETHER VERY WELL.

Reporter: IT IS UNKNOWN HOW

MUCH MUSCLE THE HOUSE FREEDOM

CAUCAS COULD FLEX OVER THE NEXT

TWO YEARS OF CONGRESS. IT IS

ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THEY WILL HAVE

A SAY. THE GROUP'S POWER COULD

BE ON FULL DISPLAY AS WE HEAD

INTO THE DEBT CEILING FIGHT.

WITH MANY IN THE FREEDOM CAUCAS

WORKING TO LIMIT THE ROLE OF

GOVERNMENT AND SHRINK SPENDING.

ANY DEBT CEILING DEAL WOULD

LIKELY NEED THE GROUPS

BLESSING. ON CAPITOL HILL,

MATT GALKA, CBN NEWS.

POLITICS IS A PROCESS OF BE

FREEWHEELING AND DEMOCRACY IS

SUPPOSED TO BE MESSY. SO OFTEN

IT IS SAID, MAKING A BILL IN

CONGRESS IS LIKE MAKING SAUSAGE

YOU DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT THE

PROCESS. YOU JUST WANT THE END

RESULT. HERE IS A WARNING FOR

ALL OF US TO THINK WE NEED TO

TAKE THE WARNING FROM HISTORY.

OUR FOUNDERS LOOK BACK TO THE

REPUBLIC OF ROME AND LOOKED

BACK TO THE DEMOCRACIES OF

GREECE. AND TRIED TO COME UP

WITH A FORM OF GOVERNMENT THAT

WOULD BLEND THE TWO TOGETHER.

SO YOU ARE NOT HAVE RULING

FAMILIES LIKE ROME HAD. YOU

WOULD HAVE CITIZENS OF THE

CITY , WHO WOULD ELECT THEIR

GOVERNMENT. BUT THEY WERE WELL

AWARE OF THE PROBLEM OF

DEMOCRACY. AND THAT PROBLEM IS

VERY SIMPLE. WHEN THE PEOPLE

IN THE CITY FIGURE OUT THEY

CAN VOTE THEMSELVES THE

TREASURY, THEN YOU ALWAYS HAVE

AN END TO THE DEMOCRACY.

BECAUSE THINGS BECOME VERY

CHAOTIC ECONOMICALLY , AND YOU

CAN NO LONGER DO THE BASIC

FORMS A GOVERNMENT, WHICH IS TO

PROVIDE FOR COMMERCE AND ROSE

AND JOINT DEFENSE IN ALL OF

THESE THINGS. WHEN YOU EXHAUST

YOUR TREASURY, YOU NO LONGER

HAVE A CURRENCY. YOU CAN NO

LONGER HAVE AN ARMY. YOU CAN

NO LONGER PROTECT YOURSELF.

AND IT ALWAYS ENDS IN TYRANNY.

I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR

SOME TIME AND I HOPE PEOPLE

GET IT. THERE HAS BEEN ONE

GOVERNMENT SPENDING. YOU CAN

TALK ABOUT, THE STIMULUS

PACKAGES DURING THE PANDEMIC

WERE NEEDED TO KEEP EVERYTHING

AFLOAT , BUT WE ALL DEALING

WITH THE INFLATION THE COMES

FROM THAT KIND OF SPENDING. AT

$30 TRILLION IN DEBT, THERE IS

NO HOPE WE CAN PAY IT OFF IN MY

LIFETIME, LET ALONE MY

CHILDREN'S LIFETIME. YOU ARE

PUTTING OUR CURRENCY, YOUR

PUTTING THE ECONOMY AT RISK.

BUT FIRST, THE MILITARY. CAN

YOU AFFORD YOUR OWN MILITARY?

THESE ARE VERY SERIOUS THINGS.

WE HAVE POLITICIANS THAT HAVE

FIGURED OUT, IF I PROMISE

PEOPLE GIVEAWAYS, I AM GOING

TO BE REELECTED. IF I PROMISE

THEM THEY WILL NEVER HAVE TO

PAY A TAX IN THEIR LIFE, THEN I

AM GOING TO BE REELECTED.

THESE THINGS ARE ULTIMATELY,

QUITE DANGEROUS FOR ALL OF US.

WE NEED TO WAKE UP TO IT. I AM

REALLY GLAD THERE IS SOME

POLITICIANS NOW SAYING THIS HAS

GOTTEN WAY TOO FAR. AND YOU

KEEP RAISING THE DEBT LIMIT AND

RAISING THE DEBT LIMIT WITHOUT

KIND OF FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.

LET'S PLEASE HAVE THAT AND

PLEASE STOP SPENDING THE U.S.

TREASURY ON OUR OWN NEEDS. AND

START SAYING , WE NEED A COMMON

DEFENSE AND WE NEED TO PROTECT

COMMERCE AND WE NEED TO PROTECT

GAVE YOU THE NUMBER.

> JEFF TOMLINSON FIRST TRIED

DRUGS WHEN HE WAS JUST 12 YEARS

OLD. THAT FIRST HIT LED TO

NEARLY 30 YEARS OF ADDICTION.

SPENT THE NEXT FEW DECADES

LIVING ON AND OFF THE STREETS

AND IN AND OUT OF PRISON. JEFF

WAS LIVING WITH NO HOPE AND

FEELING AS IF HE HAD NO WAY

OUT.

I WAS REALLY GREEDY. I DO

NOT CARE ABOUT ANYBODY. I CARED

ABOUT HAVING MORE DRUGS. I DID

NOT CARE ABOUT THE MONEY.

Reporter: JEFF TOMLIN'S

BEEN SPENT MOST OF HIS LIFE

INVOLVED WITH DRUGS AND CRIME.

WHEN HE WAS YOUNG HE HAD HIS

MIND MADE UP ABOUT RELIGION.

WHEN I WAS A CHILD I THOUGHT

PEOPLE THAT BELIEVED IN GOD

WERE KIND OF FOOLISH. I THOUGHT

IT WAS A LOT OF NONSENSE. I

NEVER WENT TO CHURCH IS A

CHILD. PARENTS NEVER TOOK ME .

I HAD FRIENDS THAT WENT TO

CHURCH AND I THOUGHT THEY WERE

KIND OF WEIRD.

Reporter: WHEN HE WAS 12 HE

TOOK A JOB WITH AN OLDER

NEIGHBOR. THE ATTENTION MADE

HIM FEEL GOOD. AND SO DID THE

DRUGS THEY TOOK TOGETHER.

HE WAS IN HIS 30s. HE OWNED

A BOAT SHOP. HE WAS A PARTIER

AND IT GAVE ME EASY ACCESS TO A

LOT OF DRUGS. I STARTED

FREEBASING COCAINE WHEN I WAS

12 YEARS OLD. FROM THAT I

STARTED DOING METHAMPHETAMINE.

I GOT ADDICTED. I THINK IT WAS

CURIOSITY. MY HOME LIFE WAS NOT

ALL THAT BAD. I WAS NOT TRYING

TO ESCAPE . FOR THE MOST PART,

I JUST WANTED TO HAVE FUN.

Reporter: HIS DRUG USE

PROPELLED HIM INTO A 30 YEAR

ADDICTION. A LIFE OF VIOLENCE,

CRIME AND INCARCERATION

FOLLOWED.

I GOT IN TROUBLE WHEN I WAS

16. I GOT IN TROUBLE WITH MY

FRIENDS. WE WERE ALL ON LSD AND

MY FRIENDS BEAT UP A DISABLED

VETERAN. BEAT HIM UP REAL BAD

AND THE SHERIFF'S CAME UP AND

ARRESTED US. TRUCK BECAUSE HE

WAS STILL A JUVENILE, JEFF

OFTEN ONLY RECEIVED PROBATION.

THE JUDG LOOKED AT ME IN

FRONT OF MY PARENTS AND SAID,

GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL BE IN

PRISON BY THE TIME YOU ARE 21.

Reporter: HE KNEW HE NEEDED

TO CHANGE .

I WANTED TO GET AWAY FROM

THE DRUGS BUT THEY WERE

ENTICING. I WENT BACK. I WENT

TO THE ARMY RECRUITER AND THE

ARMY RECRUITER WAS FROM MY

NEIGHBORHOOD. HE SAID, I THINK

WE CAN HELP YOU. HE GAVE ME A

WAY INTO THE MILITARY.

Reporter: THE ARMY STRUCTURE

AND DISCIPLINE HELPED HIM STAY

CLEAN FOR A SEASON. INJURY PUT

HIM RIGHT BACK ON THE ADDICTION

ROLLER COASTER.

I ALMOST LOST MY LEG. I HAD

KNEE SURGERY AND IT GOT

INFECTED. THEY GAVE ME A

NARCOTIC AT THE TIME . I WAS

ADDICTED TO THAT.

Reporter: ONCE OUT OF THE

SERVICE, JEFF QUICKLY WENT BACK

TO HIS OLD ADDICTIONS.

SOMETHING IN ME MADE ME

REALIZE THAT I REALLY DID NOT

WANT TO DO ANYTHING IN LIFE

EXCEPT PARTY. I GOT A LITTLE

BIT OF MONEY FROM THE MILITARY

WHEN I GOT OUT. IT WAS LIKE

$10,000 SEVERANCE PAY. I PUT IT

INTO PARTYING. I WAS IN LOVE

WITH METHAMPHETAMINE.

Reporter: HE CONTINUE TO

SELL METHAMPHETAMINE.

SPIRALING DEEPER INTO A LIFE

VOID OF PURPOSE.

IN THAT WORLD, EVERYBODY IS

LYING AND CHEATING EACH OTHER.

I WAS ABLE TO DO A PRETTY

GOOD. I CREATED A LOT OF

ENEMIES. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE

POINT GUNS AT ME AND THREATENED

TO SHOOT ME. I DARED THEM.

TAKE ME OUT OF MY MISERY. I DID

NOT HAVE ANY ASPECT OF THERE

BEING A GOD OR EVEN CARING IF

THERE WAS A GOD.

Reporter: JEFF ALSO

FATHERED A CHILD WITH HIS

GIRLFRIEND. SEVERAL ARRESTS

FOLLOWED FOR SELLING AND

POSSESSION. DURING ONE TIME IN

PRISON, AN INMATE TOLD HIM

ABOUT JESUS.

I SAT NEXT TO HIM EVERY DAY

FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AND

HE WOULD TELL ME ABOUT JESUS

EVERY DAY. HE WOULD READ

PROVERBS AND THINGS LIKE THAT

AND IT SOUNDED LIKE RIDDLES . I

WOULD

ABOUT YOUR RIDDLES OR YOUR

FANTASY WORLD.

Reporter: BUT THIS SEASON

FAITH WAS PLANTED. WHEN JEFF

WAS RELEASED, HE BEGAN LIVING

ON THE STREETS .

WHEN I WAS HOMELESS AND

DENIED FOOD STAMPS, I DID NOT

BELIEVE IN GOD. I COULD NOT

GRASP MY HEAD AROUND IT. I

COULD NOT GRASP WHY IS

EVERYTHING SO BAD RIGHT NOW. I

WENT TO THE VA AND I GOT HELP.

I FINALLY GOT SOME HELP.

Reporter: A GIFT FROM HIS

MOTHER, WHO WAS NOT EVEN A

CHRISTIAN AT THE TIME, BROUGHT

A GLIMMER OF HOPE TO HIS LIFE.

SHE GAVE ME A GIDEON'S

BIBLE. A LITTLE ORANGE

GIDEON'S BIBLE AND I STARTED

READING IT. I CAME UP TO PSALM

40. I CAME TO A VERSE, BEHOLD I

COME AND IT IS WRITTEN OF ME. I

DELIGHT TO DO YOUR WILL. IT

TALKS ABOUT HOW GOD HAS PICKED

YOU UP FROM THE HORRIBLE HIT

AND MY LIFE WAS HORRIBLE. THIS

IS IT. THIS IS REAL. HE HAS A

PLAN FOR MY LIFE . I REALIZED

100% JESUS CHRIST IS MY LORD

AND SAVIOR AND HAS GIVEN ME A

CHANCE AT LIFE.

Reporter: JEFF GOT SOBER

DURING TREATMENT. HE LATER

RECONCILED WITH HIS PARENTS AND

LED THEM BOTH TO CHRIST .

I WAS WILLING TO ROB MY OWN

PARENTS AND RIP ANYBODY OFF TO

GET THIS DRUG, METHAMPHETAMINE

. IN THE BEGINNING IT SEEMS

FUN. IN THE END IT IS NOTHING

BUT DESTRUCTION.

Reporter: IN 2015 HE MET AND

MARRIED PATRICIA. AND WAS ALSO

ABLE TO GET CUSTODY OF HIS SON.

HE IS PURSUING HIS MASTERS IN

COUNSELING , AND HIS ONCE

PURPOSELESS LIFE , NOW HAS

MEANING.

I STILL WANT TO MAKE A

DIFFERENCE IN LIFE AND I WANT

TO HELP OTHERS AS A SOCIAL

WORKER. WHEN I DO MEET JESUS

CHRIST I WANT TO SAY, YOU HAVE

BEEN SO GOOD TO ME. MY LIFE HAS

CHANGED SO MUCH SOMETIMES I DO

FOCUS ON ALL THE WRONG . BUT I

ALSO KNOW THAT GOD HAS

FORGIVEN ME AND HE DOES NOT SEE

THE WRONG NO MORE. IT DOES NOT

MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE ON

EARTH. IF YOU ACCEPT JESUS

CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR YOU ARE

FORGIVEN. IF HE FOR GAVE ME,

HE COULD FORGIVE ANYBODY.

HE IS RIGHT ABOUT THAT. YOU

GET TO START OVER AND A REDO

WITH JESUS . WHERE ELSE DO YOU

FIND THAT IN LIFE? THIS IS A

MAN WHO WAS JUST ENJOYING THE

DRUG USE. ENJOYING LEAVING

REALITY AND HAVING FUN.

PARTYING. HE WAS NOT LOOKING

FOR MEANING IN HIS LIFE. AND

THEN HE OPENED THE WORD OF GOD.

YOU KNOW, GOD HAS A PLAN AND

PURPOSE FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE

OF US . HIS WORD SAYS WE ARE

CREATED WITH INTENTION. THAT

HE SAW YOU, HE SAW ME, WHILE WE

WERE BEING FORMED IN HER

MOTHER'S WOMB AND NEW EVERY DAY

OF OUR LIVES. LIFE IS A GIFT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE

GIFT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU? IF

YOU'RE CONSTANTLY LOOKING

AROUND JUST TO HAVE A GOOD

TIME , IN SHORT ORDER YOU WILL

FIND THE EMPTINESS OF THAT. IT

IS LIKE YOU RUN OUT OF GAS.

YOU FIND THE EMPTINESS AND

THERE IS NO MEANING TO IT.

SOMETIMES YOU GET HOOKED ON

SOMETHING LIKE METHAMPHETAMINE

LIKE JEFF DID. HE DID NOT START

OUT LIKE THAT. HE STARTED OUT

JUST WANTING TO HAVE FUN AND

PRETTY SOON WHAT HE THOUGHT HE

WAS CONTROLLING, BEGAN TO

CONTROL HIM. AND HE DID

THINGS, THAT HE LOOKS BACK NOW

AND SAYS, HOW COULD I HAVE DONE

THAT? STOLEN FROM MY MOM AND

DAD TO GET A DRUG. THE BIBLE

SAYS THAT THE ENEMY OF OUR

SOULS, THERE IS AN ENEMY. WHO

HATES GOD AND THE GOAL IS TO

RIP THE IMAGE OF GOD OUT OF OUR

LIVES. IT SAYS HE PROWLS

AROUND LIKE A HUNGRY LION

LOOKING TO DESTROY YOU AND ME.

AND HE DOES NOT PRESENT HIMSELF

AS THE ENEMY OF GOD. HE

PRESENTS HIMSELF AS , SOMETHING

LIKE METHAMPHETAMINE. JUST TRY

THIS AND IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL

GREAT AND YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD

TIME. LIFE IS FUN. AND THEN

THE METHAMPHETAMINE CONTROLS

YOU AND SO DOES THE ENEMY OF

GOD AND HE RIPS THAT IMAGE OF

GOD OUT OF YOU. HE RIPS ANY

UNDERSTANDING OF GOD. HE RIPS

ANY CARING OF GOD OUT OF VIEW.

BUT WHAT IS SO AMAZING TO ME,

IS THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS

CALLED THE HOUND OF HEAVEN. HE

COMES AFTER US. EVEN IN A LOST

PLACE, EVEN IN OUR EMPTINESS,

EVEN IN OUR FOOLLISHNESS. OUR

STUPIDITY, IF YOU WILL. GOD IS

AFTER US. BECAUSE WE ARE NOT

JUST CREATED AS FLESH AND BLOOD

. WE ARE CREATED WITH THE

SPIRIT THAT IS MEANT TO SPEND

ETERNITY WITH HIM. GOD WANTS

YOU. GOD WANTS YOU. HE CREATED

YOU. HE LOVES YOU. IN SPITE OF

ALL THE FOOLLISHNESS YOU HAVE

DONE. IN SPITE OF ALL THE WRONG

CHOICES. THE REASON THAT IS SO

HARD TO BELIEVE, WHERE ELSE DO

> FIRST CAME THE RUSSIANS.

BEEN THE NAZI. HER AND HER

TOWN IN LATVIA WERE IN THE

ATTACK. 80 YEARS LATER SHE

REMEMBERS THE BOMBS IN THE AIR

AND THE BODIES IN THE STREETS.

SHE AND HER FAMILY HAD TO RUN

FOR THEIR LIVES WITH LITTLE

MORE THAN THE CLOTHES ON THEIR

BACKS. AND THEIR FAITH THAT

GOD WOULD GET THEM TO SAFETY.

IT WAS TOTAL CHAOS. THE

VILLAGE PEOPLE WERE RUNNING.

THERE WERE DEAD BODIES IN THE

PLANES WERE OVERHEAD, DROPPING

BOMBS. IT WAS A TOTAL CHAOS.

Reporter: FOR AN

EIGHT-YEAR-OLD , VERY

FRIGHTENING. A YEAR EARLIER

IN 1940, THE RUSSIANS HAD COME

TO OCCUPY HER SMALL TOWN . NOW

HITLER'S ARMIES WERE CLOSING IN

AND HER FATHER TOLD HIS FAMILY

OF SEVEN, THEY HAD TO LEAVE AT

ONCE.

ALL NIGHT WE WERE HEARING

THE FRONT APPROACHING. AND

THE WINDOWS WERE SHAKING.

Reporter: THE PLAN WAS TO

CATCH A TRAIN WEST TO THE

LATVIAN COAST AND STAY WITH

FAMILY, AWAY FROM THE FIGHTING.

THE STATION WAS 20 MILES AWAY.

FIRST, THEY WOULD HAVE TO WALK

HALFWAY TO A FRIENDS

FARMHOUSE, BEFORE NIGHTFALL.

ANNA REMEMBERS HER FATHER, WHO

WORKED FOR THE FOREST SERVICE

AND PASTORED A SMALL HOME

CHURCH, LEADING HIS WIFE ,

HERSELF , HER OLDER BROTHER AND

THREE YOUNGER SISTERS INTO THE

SNOW AND FREEZING COLD.

WE WERE TAUGHT THAT WE

WOULD WALK IN PEACE. AND THIS

IS HOW MY FATHER EXPLAINED. IF

WE RUN TO THE LEFT WE MIGHT GET

HIT BY A BOMB. IF WE RUN TO

THE RIGHT, WE MAY GET HIT BY A

BOMB. WE ONLY HAVE ONE CHOICE.

AND THAT IS WALK , WITH THE

LORD, IN PEACE AND NOT IN

PANIC.

Reporter: ONCE THEY ARRIVED

AT THE FARMHOUSE, THEY FOUND IT

OCCUPIED BY THE WHO WERE USING

IT AS A COMMUNICATION CENTER,

100 FEET FROM THE BATTLE LINES

WERE FORCES HAD DUG IN. THE

SOLDIERS ALLOWED IN HIS FAMILY

AND OTHERS TO STAY IN THE

SELLER.

WITH EVERY EXPLOSION I WOULD

OPEN MY EYES AND LOOK AT

DADDY'S FACE A MOMMIES FACE

AND THEY WOULD SAY EVERY THING

IS FINE. THAT IS HOW WE WERE

ABLE TO INTENTIONALLY AND

PRACTICALLY FOLLOW OUR PARENTS

AND LEARN. AND GAINED GREAT

CONFIDENCE THAT GOD WAS WITH

US.

Reporter: ANNA SAID THERE

WERE MANY MORE SIGNS THAT GOD

WAS WITH THEM. ONE CAME THREE

DAYS LATER, WHEN THEIR FOOD RAN

OUT.

DADDY WENT INTO THE WOODS,

EARLY IN THE MORNING TO PRAY.

GIVE US THIS DAY . WHEN HE

FINISHED PRAYING ON A TREE

STUMP WAS A LOAF OF BREAD. HE

BROUGHT IT IN AND WE THANK THE

LORD FOR PROVIDING THIS DAY,

OUR DAILY BREAD. THE NEXT

MORNING HE WENT OUT IN THE

WOODS TO PRAY. AGAIN, GIVE US

THIS DAY. AND FOR THE NEXT 20

DAYS , THE LORD PROVIDED.

CHECK AGAIN, THEY WOULD HAVE

TO RUN FOR THEIR LIVES. THE

RUSSIANS HAD BROKEN THROUGH THE

GERMAN LINES, FORCING EVERYONE

IN THE FARMHOUSE TO EVACUATE.

AFTER TAKING HIS FAMILY FAR

INTO THE WOODS, HE WENT BACK

TO HELP OTHERS ESCAPE.

WHEN HE GOT BACK , THE PLACE

WAS DEMOLISHED. I MEAN, WE

MIGHT NOT HAVE SURVIVED IT.

Reporter: GRATEFUL FOR

GOD'S PROTECTION, THE RESUMED

THEIR COLD, 10 MILE MARCH TO

THE TRAIN STATION THROUGH

WAR-TORN LATVIA. COLD, HUNGRY

AND EXHAUSTED, THEY FINALLY

ARRIVED AT THE STATION AND

TOOK THE TRAIN TO HER

GRANDMOTHER'S HOME IN THE

BALTIC SEA. THEY LIVED IN

RELATIVE SAFETY FOR MONTHS . IN

NOVEMBER OF THAT SAME YEAR ,

THEY ARE ARRESTED BY THE

NAZI'S BECAUSE THEY HAD NO

IDENTIFICATION PAPERS. THEY

WOULD EVENTUALLY BE TAKEN TO A

GERMAN LABOR CAMP IN

CZECHOSLOVAKIA. FOR FIVE

MONTHS THEY SUFFERED STARVATION

, FILTHY CONDITIONS, AND

DISEASE. AMONG HER MOST

DARKEST AND VIVID MEMORIES,

ESPECIALLY THOSE OF HER YOUNGER

SISTER.

JUST A TODDLER . AND HAS

LOST THE ABILITY TO STAND UP .

HAS LOST THE ABILITY TO TALK.

SHE JUST BEGS FOR FOOD. JUST

SHAKING BACK AND FORTH.

Reporter: AS BAD AS IT WAS,

HER PARENTS DID NOT WAVER IN

TEACHING THEIR CHILDREN TO

CONTINUE TRUST IN GOD.

I AM 10 YEARS OLD AND I AM

WALKING OUT EARLY IN THE

MORNING AND DADDY IS FORCED

LABOR AND GOING OUT TO WORK. I

WALKED WITH HIM TO THE EDGE OF

THE COMPOUND AND I SAID, POPPA,

WHY ISN'T GOD ANSWERING OUR

PRAYERS? MY LITTLE SISTER'S

ARE ON MY MIND. I KNOW THEY

WILL NOT SURVIVE. AS THAT IS

CUSTOM WAS, WHENEVER WE ASKED A

SERIOUS QUESTION, HE PUT HIS

FROM UNDER MY CHIN AND PULLED

IT UP AND I WOULD LOOK THEM IN

THE EYES. HE SAID CHILD, THE

RAIN FALLS ON THE RIGHTEOUS

AND THE UNRIGHTEOUS ALIKE. BUT

REMEMBER , WE HAVE A HEAVENLY

FATHER. THAT IS ALL HE SAID.

I WAS COMFORTED BY THAT. I WENT

ON THAT DIRTY BUNK AND WENT

STRAIGHT TO SLEEP ON AN EMPTY

TUMMY.

Reporter: ON MAY 8th 1945,

THE WAR IN EUROPE ENDED WITH

THE GERMANS UNCONDITIONAL

SURRENDER. ALL OF AND HIS

FAMILY HAD SURVIVED. OVER THE

NEXT FEW MONTHS, HER PARENTS

SCRAPED UP ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY

TRAIN TICKETS INTO AMERICAN

OCCUPIED WEST GERMANY. THEY

WOULD STAY FOR YEARS IN A

REFUGEE CAMP UNTIL 1949 , WHEN

THEY BOARDED A SHIP BOUND FOR

AMERICA. SETTLING IN

PHILADELPHIA, HER FATHER

BECAME A PASTOR TO A RUSSIAN

COMMUNITY.

THE CAUSE THE WAY OUR

PARENTS TAUGHT US TO TRUST THE

LORD AND LOVE HIM, WE THANKED

HIM NATURALLY.

Reporter: GOING ON 90 YEARS

OLD, ANNA SAYS SHE HAS HAD A

FULL LIFE . IS A WIFE OF MORE

THAN 65 YEARS TO HER HUSBAND,

HARRY. A MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER

AND GREAT-GRANDMOTHER , SHE

SHOWS HOW GOD CARRIED HER

THROUGH THE WORST OF TIMES AND

ALWAYS WELL.

WE DON'T JUST SURVIVE, WE

LIVE THROUGH IT. AND WE COME

THROUGH IT , MORE THAN

CONQUERORS. BECAUSE THE LOVE

OF GOD HAS BEEN GUSHED OUT ON

US THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

AND WE DON'T LOSE HEART.

BECAUSE OF IT.

THAT IS A LESSON FOR ALL OF

US. BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD HAS

BEEN GUSHED OUT UPON US, THAT

IS WONDERFUL TRANSLATIONS OF

THE ORIGINAL GREEK. WE ARE

MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH

THE HOLY LOVE , WHOM WAS GIVEN

TO US, POURED OUT ON US, THAT

ABUNDANCE GIVES US EVERYTHING

THAT WE NEED . AND WHEN WE HAVE

THAT KIND OF LOVE , WHEN WE

SHOULD THAT KIND OF LOVE

ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS, WHEN WE

ARE COMPELLED BY LOVE, THAT

COMES THROUGH. DAY AFTER DAY

PROVIDING A LOAF OF BREAD . HOW

DID GOD DO THAT? HOW DID HE

PROVIDE DELIVERANCE FROM A

CONCENTRATION CAMP? HOW DID HE

MAKE A WAY WHERE THERE SEEMS TO

BE NO WAY ? HOW DID HE CONTINUE

TO PROVIDE HOPE TO THAT FAMILY?

SO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM

SURVIVED. WHAT A WONDERFUL

TESTAMENT TO THE FAITHFULNESS

OF GOD. BUT ALSO THE

FAITHFULNESS OF THAT FATHER ,

TO IMPART THAT KIND OF FAITH

TO HIS CHILDREN. WE ARE MORE

THAN CONQUERORS. IF YOU ARE

FACING SOMETHING TODAY AND YOU

ARE WONDERING HOW CAN I MAKE IT

THROUGH? WHO CAN I PRAY WITH?

HOW CAN I GET THE ENCOURAGEMENT

THAT I NEED? HOW CAN I GET

THIS LOVE POURED OUT OVER ME?

I WANT THAT. HOW DO I GET THOSE

THINGS . WE ARE A PHONE CALL

YOU READY?

ARE YOU READY?

I AM READY. THE FIRT ONE

IS FROM MARIA. SHE SAYS, IS IT

REQUIRED OF US CHRIST

FOLLOWERS TODAY, TO STILL

FOLLOW THE OLD TEACHINGS OF THE

OLD TESTAMENT? I BELIEVE THERE

WERE MORE RULES FOR THE JEWISH

PEOPLE TO FOLLOW IN THE NEW

TESTAMENT WAS MORE FOR TODAY.

THERE ARE 613 RULES IN THE

OLD TESTAMENT. THEY HAVE BEEN

COUNTED BY RABBIS. THEY HAVE

BEEN EXPLAINED BY RABBIS. WHEN

YOU START SAYING, CAN A EVEN

REMEMBER THEM? IS ONE ISSUE.

LET ALONE KEEP THEM. THEN YOU

START TO UNDERSTAND WHAT JESUS

HAS DONE FOR US. AT THE MOUNT

OF TRANSFIGURATION, ELIJAH AND

MOSES APPEARED WITH JESUS. AND

IT IS TO SHOW US THAT HE HAS

BECOME THE LAW AND THE

PROPHETS FOR US. HE HAS BECOME

THE FULFILLMENT FOR EVERYTHING.

I HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF INTEREST

IN STUDYING THE JEWISH

SCHOLARS, THE RABBIS, THEIR

TEACHINGS. IT HAS REALLY

HELPED ME IN MY LIFE. THERE IS

SO MUCH SCRIPTURAL WISDOM IN

THAT. I JUST REALLY LOVE IT.

BUT WHEN I START SHAVING

MYSELF IN THE MORNING, I GO,

IS THAT OKAY? WHEN I GET INTO

IT THAT FAR, I LOVE TO READ

GALATIANS. HERE IS PAUL SAYING

HOW ZEALOUS HE WAS FOR JUDAISM.

HOW MUCH HE TRIED TO FOLLOW

THE LAW. AND THEN HE COMES ,

STAND FAST IN THE LIBERTY WOULD

CHRIST HAS MADE YOU FREE. IT

IS ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS

THE WORLD HAS EVER HEARD. JESUS

BECOMES YOUR SALVATION. GOD

HIMSELF HAS SAID I WILL SAVE

YOU. IT IS NOT THROUGH

OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW, BUT

BELIEVE ON HIM. WHEN YOU HAVE

THAT, YOU WANT TO FOLLOW

COMMANDMENTS. AND I TRIED TO

KEEP THE BIG TEN. YOU WANT TO

PLEASE HIM AND YOU WANT TO

LOVE HIM EVEN MORE. HERE IS A

WORD FROM PROVERBS THE NAME OF

THE LORD IS A STRONG TOWER .
