TODAY'S "700 CLUB."

> WELCOME TO THIS EDITION OF

THE "700 CLUB" ." FROM

COAST-TO-COAST, YOU'VE CALLED

AND LEFT YOUR VOICEMAIL

QUESTIONS. WENDY GRIFFITH IS

WITH ME TODAY AND YOU WILL HEAR

YOUR VOICE IS ON THIS SHOW .

THIS IS YOUR QUESTIONS AND WE

WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS

LIVE. WENDY? GOD BLESS YOU,

LET'S GET UNDERWAY.

WE'VE GOT GREAT QUESTIONS

FOR YOU, PAT. OUR FIRST CALLER

IS DIANE. GO AHEAD.

I HAD A QUESTION FOR PAT

ABOUT DREAMS. IF YOU DREAM

ABOUT SOMEONE WHO HAS GONE ON

TO BE WITH THE LORD, DOES THAT

HAVE ANY SIGNIFICANCE?

I THINK IT'S NORMAL TO DREAM

ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE.

COMING FROM THE OTHER SIDE, THE

BIBLE SAYS THERE IS A GREAT

GULF BETWEEN THAT SPACE. THE

FACT THAT YOU DREAM ABOUT A

LOVED ONE, THAT'S NORMAL. MY

WIFE, WE WERE MARRIED 68 YEARS

AND I DREAM ABOUT HER. OF

COURSE YOU CAN DO THAT.

IS THAT THE WAY GOD COMFORTS

US?

IT'S IN OUR CONSCIOUSNESS.

WE GO TO SLEEP AND IT IS THERE.

AMEN. CARL FROM MINNEAPOLIS

WITH THIS QUESTION FOR PAT.

I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR

THOUGHTS ON WHAT THE BIBLE

TEACHES US ABOUT HEARING GOD'S

BOYS. IN PARTICULAR, HOW THE

HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKS TO US AS WE

ARE LED BY HIM ON A REGULAR

BASIS FROM WITHIN. THAT INNER

VOICE OF THE SPIRIT. PLEASE

SHARE SOME MORE.

A GOOD QUESTION.

WELL, THE BIBLE SAYS YOU

WILL HEAR A VOICE WHEN YOU TURN

TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT AND

SAYS THIS IS THE WAY IT IS AND

THERE ARE MANY WAYS GOD SPEAKS

TO US. HIS VOICE IS ONLY ONE OF

THEM. MORE THAN ANYTHING, THE

BIBLE SAYS THAT THE PEACE OF

GOD WILL BE AN UMPIRE IN YOUR

HEART. THE PEACE OF GOD IS A

BETTER INDICATOR BUT THE FACT

THAT GOD SPEAKS TO PEOPLE, OF

COURSE HE DOES, ALL THE TIME.

IF HE IS NOT SPEAKING, I

WOULD KEEP MOVING FORWARD UNTIL

HE DOES. YOU KNOW?

YOU CAN DO THAT. IT'S

EXPECTED, AS A CHILD OF GOD,

THAT YOUR FOLLOWERS TALK TO

YOU.

THE NEXT CALLER IS FROM NEW

YORK CITY. GO AHEAD.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW, IF YOU

GIVE MONEY TO THE CHURCH THAT

YOU GOT THROUGH GAMBLING,

WILL.EXCEPT THAT MONEY OR WOULD

HE REJECT IT, LIKE HE DID FOR

THE OFFERING FROM CAIN?

I DON'T THINK HE WILL TURN

DOWN YOUR MONEY. I REMEMBER

WHEN I WAS IN LAW SCHOOL, I WAS

GETTING MORE RELIGIOUS AND

DECIDED THAT AS I GAVE TO THE

LORD, THAT IT HURT ME MORE IF

I DOUBLED IT. I WAS GIVING TO

THIS PARTICULAR CHURCH. DID I

MAKE SOME MONEY GAMBLING? YES.

DID I LOSE A LOT? YES. BUT I

DON'T THINK GOD MINDS WHERE

YOU GET THE MONEY, AS LONG AS

YOU ARE NOT CHEATING AND

HURTING PEOPLE.

AMEN.

THE NEXT CALL IS FROM EVELYN

WITH THIS QUESTION FOR PAT.

MY QUESTION FOR PAT IS --

ARE WE CONDEMNED BY OUR

THOUGHTS? HOW DO WE BRING OUR

THOUGHTS INTO SUBJECTION?

WELL, YOU ARE NOT CONDEMNED

BY YOUR THOUGHTS. LISTEN, LET

THE PEACE OF GOD RULE IN YOUR

HEART AND GOD WILL SPEAK TO

YOU FROM THE WORD AND THE WORD

IN YOUR HEART, SO, THAT IS

YOUR GUIDE. IT'S THE WORD OF

GOD AND YOU HAVE IT IN YOUR

HEART. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE

PROBLEM IS, BUT BY ALL MEANS,

WHEN YOU WALK DOWN THE ROAD,

LET THE PEACE OF GOD BE YOUR

UMPIRE.

THANKS, PATCH. THIS IS

JOSIE FROM MASSACHUSETTS WITH A

QUESTION FOR PAT.

I'M SO GLAD YOU TOOK MY

CALL. I REALLY MISS YOU. THIS

IS MY QUESTION, PAT. AFTER THE

BIRTH OF JESUS FROM THE VIRGIN

MARY, WHEN DID JESUS REALIZE HE

WAS FULLY MAN AND FULLY GOD? I

REALLY WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR

ANSWER. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF

YOURSELVES. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I APPRECIATE IT. WHEN HE

WAS BAPTIZED, THE HOLY SPIRIT

CAME UPON HIM IN THE FORM OF A

DOVE THAT SETTLED ON HIS

SHOULDER. SO, HE KNEW WHEN HE

WAS WITH HIS PARENTS AT 12

YEARS OLD THAT HE WAS TALKING

TO THE ELDERS AND SAID, DID YOU

NOT KNOW THAT I WOULD BE IN

MY FATHER'S BUSINESS? HE KNEW

IT ALL ALONG AND HE KNEW HE

WAS A MAN. HE WAS TIRED AND HE

GOT HUNGRY. HE SLEPT JUST

LIKE WE DO.

AMAZING. FULLY MAN AND

FULLY GOD READ HERE IS MARK

FROM CHRISTIANSBURG, VIRGINIA.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR

THOUGHTS ON WHAT THE NEXT

WORLD RESERVE CURRENCY MIGHT

BE, ASSUMING THE DOLLAR IS

BUMPED FROM THE TOP AND WHEN

THIS MIGHT OCCUR?

IT WOULD BE A TERRIBLE

THING. YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD THE

RESERVE CURRENCY OF THE WORLD

AND WE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY AND

WE ARE LOSING OUR STATUS. WHAT

IS NEXT? WELL, IT COULD BE

THE CHINESE CURRENCY, WITHOUT

QUESTION, IT COULD BE THE NEXT

ONE. YOU COULD TALK ABOUT GOLD

AND SILVER BUT I THINK IT WILL

BE A CURRENCY BACKED BY THE

CHINESE. IT WOULD BE VERY

COSTLY . WHEN WE LOSE THAT, IT

WILL RUN THE BILLS UP FOR EVERY

ONE OF US. IT WILL BE A

HORRIBLE THING TO LOSE WHAT

WE'VE GOT BECAUSE WHEREVER YOU

GO, NOW, THEY HAVE TO TAKE

DOLLARS AND IF THEY STOP TAKING

DOLLARS, THE MONEY IN YOUR

POCKET WILL BE WORTH $0.50 ON

WHAT YOU HAD. IT WILL BE VERY,

VERY PAINFUL.

IS THERE ANYTHING TO PREPARE

FOR THIS?

NO. I GUESS YOU COULD FIND

INTEREST-BEARING SECURITIES

THAT DON'T TIE INTO THE

DOLLAR. I WOULDN'T COUNSEL

PEOPLE TO SPECULATE IN OUR

CURRENCY. IT'S TOO BIG OF A

TRAP.

THE NEXT CALLER IS MARY JO.

GO AHEAD.

MY QUESTION FOR PAT IS THIS

-- WHEN JESUS WAS ON THE CROSS

WITH THE THIEF, HE TOLD THE

ONE THAT HE WOULD BE IN

PARADISE WITH HIM THE SAME

DAY. HOW COULD THAT BE IF JESUS

STAYED IN THE GRAVE FOR THREE?

REMEMBER, HIS BODY STAYED

IN THE GRAVE BUT HIS SPIRIT

WAS ALIVE . HE SAID, FATHER,

INTO THY HAND I COMMEND THY

SPIRIT. THE MOMENT HE DOES, HIS

SPIRIT WAS WITH THE LORD BUT

HIS BODY WAS THERE WAITING FOR

THE ACTUAL RESURRECTION,

WHICH WE HAD NOT TOO LONG AFTER

THAT.

AMEN. A GOOD QUESTION. NOW,

LET'S TAKE OUR NEXT CALLER. GO

AHEAD.

HI, PAT. I NEED YOUR HELP.

MY MOM HAS ALWAYS TREATED ME

BADLY ALL MY LIFE. SHE MADE ME

FEEL LESS-THAN. I ALWAYS TRIED

TO DO EVERYTHING MY MOM ASKED

OF ME. SHE WISHED DEATH ON ME

ALL THE TIME AND SAID SHE HATES

ME. FIVE MINUTES

NEEDS SOMETHING FROM ME. AM I

WRONG FOR MOVING ON WITH MY

LIFE SO I WON'T LOSE MY PIECE?

OR, SHOULD I STAY AROUND AND BE

TREATED BADLY BECAUSE SHE IS MY

MOM AND GOD SAID, HONOR YOUR

MOTHER?

YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO HONOR

YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER BUT

LOSING THE WAY OF THE LORD,

YOU ONLY HAVE TO HONOR THE FACT

THAT SHE WAS YOUR MOTHER . IF

SHE IS GIVING YOU WRONG ADVICE

, YOU DON'T NEED TO ENDURE

THAT. WHY SHOULD YOU? I DON'T

THINK THE BIBLE SHOWS THAT YOU

HAVE TO ENDURE SOMETHING. IT

GIVES WEIGHT TO THE FACT THAT

THEY BROUGHT YOU FORTH AT BIRTH

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW

EVERY CRAZY THING THAT THEY DO,

ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE TRYING

TO RUIN YOUR LIFE. YOU DON'T

NEED TO DO THAT.

A TOUGH SPOT BECAUSE THE

MOTHER IS SAYING I HATE YOU BUT

THE NEXT MINUTE SHE NEEDS

SOMETHING AND THE DAUGHTER MAY

FEEL OBLIGATED.

YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO A

POINT. YOU KNOW, TO FEED THEM

AND CLOTHE THEM AND THAT SORT

OF THING. YOU ARE NOT

OBLIGATED.

MAY BE FINE THAT DEMON

SPIRIT BEFORE YOU WALK IN

THERE, YOU KNOW?

THIS IS CHERYL FROM

CALIFORNIA WITH THIS QUESTION

FOR PATCH.

MY QUESTION IS -- PACT,

WHEN YOU GO TO PRAY AND SEEK

GOD'S GUIDANCE FOR THE COMING

YEAR, HOW MANY DAYS DO YOU

FAST AND PRAY? WHAT BIBLE

PASSAGES DO YOU READ FROM?

THANK YOU, PAT, FOR OBEYING GOD

THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE.

I ASKED GOD TO SHOW ME FROM

HIS WORD WHAT HE WANTS ME TO DO

. BUT, I USED TO SPEND MORE

TIME FASTING THAN I DO NOW. I'M

93 YEARS OLD AND NOT QUITE AS

PHYSICALLY ABLE AS I WAS IN

THOSE DAYS. I'M NOT SO MUCH

FASTING BUT I AM SEEKING GOD

AND I TRIED TO FIND OUT WHAT IT

IS THAT IS HINDERING HIS VOICE

IN MY LIFE AND THAT'S WHAT I

VOTE. I ASK WHAT IS HINDERING,

THE POWER OF THE LORD, BECAUSE

I HAVE THAT . I WANT TO BE

ABLE TO BLESS PEOPLE AND I

DON'T WANT ANYTHING IN MY LIFE

TO HINDER IT AND THAT IS WHAT

YOU DO. YOU CLEAN UP WHATEVER

YOU ARE DOING THAT IS WRONG

AND GET YOURSELF RIGHT WITH

GOD. THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO

DO EACH TIME.

GREAT. THANK YOU FOR SHARING

THAT. HERE IS JOAN FROM

WASHINGTON WITH A QUESTION FOR

PATCH.

MY QUESTION IS, IF

MELCHIZEDEK WAS GOD'S HIGH

PRIEST, WHY DID HE NEED

ABRAHAM'S RESOURCES? WAS HE

LIVING ON EARTH?

HE WAS A PRIEST OF GOD BUT

IT DIDN'T SAY HE WAS A HERMIT

AND THAT HE HAD TO LIVE WITH

NO MONEY. PEOPLE HAVE TO EAT .

THE FACT THAT HE WAS GOD'S MAN

AND ABRAHAM GAVE HIM THAT,

IT SHOWS THAT MELCHIZEDEK WAS

THE GREATER AND FROM HIM,

> WELCOME BACK TO OUR SPECIAL

VOICEMAIL SHOW, YOUR QUESTIONS

AND YOU HAVE CALLED IN FROM ALL

OVER THE COUNTRY AND PAT IS

HERE WITH US TO TAKE THOSE

CALLS. WE'VE GOT A CALL IT

WITH A QUESTION ABOUT

MARRIAGE. GO AHEAD.

I'M CALLING IN WITH A

QUESTION ABOUT MY MARRIAGE. I

HAD BEEN IN A VERY

DYSFUNCTIONAL MARRIAGE FOR

ABOUT 25 YEARS WITH SOMEBODY

WHO DRINKS. IT HAS BEEN VERY,

VERY HARD TO WALK AWAY. I'M A

VERY FAITHFUL PERSON AND I'VE

BEEN PRAYING FOR MY SPOUSE'S

WHOLE TIME BUT HE DOESN'T PUT

DOWN THE BOTTLE. WHAT CAN I DO

? CAN YOU HELP ME IN THIS

JOURNEY THAT I'M ON?

WELL, WITH THE PRIVILEGE,

IT MEANS THAT THE SPOUSES

MAKING LIFE INTOLERABLE FOR

YOU TO LIVE WITH HIM. IN A

SITUATION LIKE THAT, IF YOUR

LIFE IS INTOLERABLE, YOU DON'T

HAVE TO STAY IN THAT

RELATIONSHIP . YOU DIDN'T ASK

ME ABOUT DIVORCE SO I'M NOT

ANSWERING BAD. BUT IN TERMS OF

BEING SUBMISSIVE TO A DRUNK

WHO ISN'T FOLLOWING GOD ,

WHEN HE WALKS OUT OF HIS

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, HE LOSES

HIS AUTHORITY AS THE HIGH

PRIEST OF THE FAMILY. HE

ABDICATED HIS RESPONSIBILITY

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO OBEY

HIM.

DOES SHE NEED TO GET A

CLEAR WORD FROM THE LORD, YOU

HAVE MY PERMISSION TO WALK

AWAY? OR, CAN SHE SAY 25 YEARS

IS ENOUGH AND I'M OUT OF HERE?

SHE CAN SAY 25 YEARS IS

ENOUGH. WHY SHOULD SHE HAVE TO

ENDURE THAT? IT'S LIKE

DESERTION. IF A HUSBAND WALKED

OUT , SHE IS NOT BOUND IN THE

MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP. IN THIS

CASE, HER HUSBAND IS MAKING

LIFE INTOLERABLE AND SHE

DOESN'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH

THAT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

> WE'VE GOT THIS QUESTION

FROM GWINNY FROM DAYTON, OHIO.

I'M A BACKSLIDER AND

TRYING TO DO RIGHT BY GOD BUT I

SMOKE CIGARETTES. I'VE BEEN

TRYING TO STOP SMOKING BUT AM

I GOING TO HELL FOR SMOKING? I

WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR ANSWER.

THE BIBLE SAYS OUR BODY IS

A TEMPLE AND WE NOW KNOW THAT

CIGARETTES CAUSE CANCER AND

ALL KINDS OF DISEASES. I THINK

YOU ARE ABUSING THE TEMPLE OF

THE HOLY SPIRIT. ARE YOU GOING

TO HELL BECAUSE OF SMOKING? I

DON'T THINK SO. BUT IT WILL

RUIN YOUR BODY.

I KNOW YOU SMOKED FOR A

BRIEF TIME. FOR SOME PEOPLE,

THEY CAN SAY THIS IS MY LAST

CIGARETTE AND THEY PUT IT DOWN

AND IN THE CASE OF MY OWN

MOTHER, SHE TRIED TO GIVE IT UP

SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN GOES

BACK. SUCH A STRONG ADDICTION.

IT TAKES 21 DAYS TO DEVELOP

A HABIT . THERE WAS A GROUP AND

IT TOOK ME A FEW DAYS TO QUIT

AND AFTER A FEW DAYS -- AND

I USED TO ENJOY SMOKING -- AND

THE TASTE OF CIGARETTES MADE ME

NAUSEATED. IT FLIPPED ON ME AND

THAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.

THANKS, PAT. THE NEXT CALL

IS FROM JACK. GO AHEAD.

I LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IT

MEANS IN ZECHARIAH 4:7 WHEN

IT SAYS NOT BY MIGHT, NOT BY

POWER, BUT BY MY SPIRIT, SAYS

THE LORD OF HOSTS. WHAT IS THE

MEANING OF THE TERM, THE LORD

OF HOSTS?

THAT IS THE JEHOVAH OATH AND

IT MEANS THE LORD OF HOSTS. HE

HAS AN ARMY THAT IS PART OF

HIS KINGDOM AND HE IS

IDENTIFIED BY MANY AS THE

LORD OF HOSTS. I DON'T KNOW

WHAT ELSE YOU WANT ME TO SAY.

THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

ARE THE HOSTS THE ANGELS?

NO. IT'S ALL THE PEOPLE, ALL

THE ANGELS -- ALL THOSE IN

HEAVEN. WHATEVER IS THERE .

ARMIES IN HEAVEN, OKAY. WE

HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FROM

KATHY IN SOUTH CAROLINA. GO

AHEAD.

ACCORDING TO THE VERSE

HEBREWS 9:27, WHO DO YOU

BELIEVE WILL BE THE TWO

WITNESSES IN REVELATION?

WELL, I THINK THE TWO

WITNESSES -- ONE IS FOR THE

LORD AND THE OTHER FOR THE

PROFITS. I THINK THAT IS

WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

A QUESTION FROM LANCE FROM

WAXAHACHIE, TEXAS.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU

FOR DOING THE QUESTIONS AND

ANSWERS. I LOOK FORWARD TO

THIS WHENEVER YOU DO IT. MY

QUESTION IS, PAUL STATES IN

THE BOOK OF PHILIPPIANS,

CHAPTER 2:12, TO WORK OUT YOUR

OWN SALVATION IN FEAR AND

TREMBLING. EXACTLY WHAT DOES

THAT MEAN, TO WORK OUT YOUR OWN

SALVATION?

WELL, ON ONE HAND,

EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON GOD AND

SALVATION IS A GIFT OF GOD .

BY GRACE YOU ARE SAVED AND NOT

BY YOURSELVES OR THE WORDS.

AT THE SAME TIME, YOU HAVE AN

OBLIGATION AS A CHILD OF GOD TO

CONTINUE TO PURSUE THE BEST

GOD HAS FOR YOU. THAT IS TO

WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION

WITH FEAR FOR THE GOD THAT

WORKS IN YOU FOR HIS GOOD

PLEASURE. GOD IS WORKING WITH

YOU AT THE SAME TIME AND HE

AGREED TO COOPERATE.

YOU ARE NOT SHAKING IN

FEAR?

OF COURSE NOT.

WE HAVE NANCY FROM

PENNSYLVANIA. GO AHEAD.

GLAD TO SEE YOU ARE BACK,

PAT. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO PRAY

IN THE SPIRIT?

WELL, YOU CAN SPEAK IN

TONGUES IS ONE WAY . PRAYING IN

THE SPIRIT, PRAYING WITH

UNDERSTANDING. THE SPIRIT --

THE PEOPLE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND

WHAT WAS BEING SAID. HE SAID

WHEN SOMEONE DOES THAT IN A

CONGREGATION, THERE NEEDS TO BE

AN INTERPRETER. YOU CAN PRAY

IN THE SPIRIT AND IN THE SPIRIT

YOU ARE ASKING GOD FOR THINGS

AND THE LORD, HIMSELF, IS

GIVING YOU A REVELATION. MAY

YOU SPEAK IN TONGUES? YES, I

DO. IS THAT A GOOD WAY TO PRAY?

IT ABSOLUTELY IS.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, ASK

THE HOLY LORD FOR IT AND HE

WILL GIVE IT TO YOU. HERE IS

LIAM .

PAT, I LOVE YOUR SHOW. I

BELIEVE THE BIBLE SAYS THE

ISRAELITES ARE GOD'S CHOSEN

PEOPLE AND THAT WE ARE TO PRAY

FOR JERUSALEM. MY HUSBAND SAYS

THAT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, THE

ISRAELITES ARE NO LONGER GOD'S

CHOSEN PEOPLE. THAT'S WHAT I

WANT TO KNOW. TODAY, THIS TIME,

ARE THE ISRAELITES GOD'S CHOSEN

PEOPLE AND CAN YOU GIVE ME A

VERSE FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT?

ABSOLUTELY. THE ISRAELITES

ARE STILL GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE.

THE ISRAELITE OF EARTH AND THE

PEOPLE OF GOD , AND WE DO NOT

SUPPLANT THE OLD TESTAMENT. WE

DIDN'T GET RID OF THE OLD

TESTAMENT. WE ARE ENRICHED BY

THE OLD TESTAMENT, OKAY?

AMEN. THE NEXT CALLER IS

FROM THE LONE STAR STATE.

HELLO, PAT, FROM TEXAS. WE

WISH YOU THE BEST, MY MAN. MAY

GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU AND

THE "700 CLUB." MY QUESTION IS

-- WHAT DO YOU THINK EZEKIEL

SAW WHEN HE SAW THE WHEEL

WITHIN THE WHEEL? IT'S BEEN A

MYSTERY TO ME ALL MY LIFE.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE

DRAWING OF THE CELL? WE HAVE

A WHEEL INSIDE OF A WILL AND

THAT IS PART OF THE MAKEUP WE

HAVE AS HUMAN BEINGS. HE MAY

HAVE SEEN SOMETHING ABOUT THE

MAKEUP OF HUMAN BEINGS THAT

ISN'T READILY AVAILABLE TO THE

EYE AND I THINK THAT IS WHAT IT

IS. YOU LOOK INSIDE YOUR OWN

SELF AND THERE ARE WHEELS. %

EVERY CELL IS A LITTLE FACTORY

AND WE FACTOR IN WITH EVERY

ONE OF THEM. THAT IS PART OF

WHAT, PERHAPS, THE LORD WAS

SHOWING EZEKIEL.

HE SAW THE WHEEL ? I CAN

REMEMBER -- CAN YOU GIVE MORE

CONTEXT? WHEN DID HE SEE THE

WHEEL?

HE WAS IN BETHLEHEM AND HAD

A DREAM.

OKAY. THANK YOU, PAT. WE

ARE READY FOR THE NEXT CALLER.

GO AHEAD.

PAT, I HAVE A QUESTION

ABOUT THE RICH MAN THAT ASKED

JESUS -- HE SAID -- GOOD

TEACHER, WHAT MUST I DO TO

INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE? JESUS

SAID, WHY DO YOU CALL ME GOOD?

ONLY GOD IS TRULY GOOD. IF

JESUS IS GOD, WHY WOULD HE NOT

SAY THAT HE IS ALSO GOOD?

WELL, JESUS WAS ALWAYS

HONORING THE FATHER. HE SAID

MY FATHER IS WORKING AND I

WORK. HE RECOGNIZED THAT HIS

FATHER WAS ACTUALLY GREATER

THAN HE WAS AND ALWAYS HONORED

HIS FATHER. THAT'S WHAT WE ARE

TALKING ABOUT.

THIS SCRIPTURE -- I LOVE

THIS QUESTION AND IT ALWAYS

FASCINATED ME THAT JESUS WOULD

SAY, WHY DO YOU CALL ME GOOD?

THAT'S RIGHT. HE WAS VERY

HUMBLE. OF COURSE HE WAS GOOD.

HE WAS A PERFECT MAN BUT HE

WAS SO HUMBLE. THAT'S PART OF

HUMILITY, I AM HOLIER THAN

THOU AND YOU ARE HOLIER THAN

ME.

HE WAS HONORING HIS FATHER.

ALWAYS.

AMEN. GOOD QUESTION. MY

NEXT CALL COMES FROM PEGGY.

I WANT TO ASK YOU IF GOD

LOVES CHRISTIANS MORE THAN

NON-CHRISTIANS?

DOES GOD LOVE CHRISTIANS

MORE THAN NON-CHRISTIANS?

THE TRUTH IS GOD LOVES

EVERYBODY EVERYBODY. THOSE

PART OF HIS FAMILY ARE SPECIAL

TO HIM AND YOU REMEMBER THAT

THING WHERE HE WILL BE SITTING

IN THE FINAL JUDGMENT. ON THE

ONE HAND, HE WILL HAVE A

SHAPE AND IT WOULD BE THOSE

WHO TOOK CARE OF HIS PEOPLE

WHEN HE WAS HERE ON EARTH AND

THAT IS NOT SALVATION, THAT IS

GOOD WORKS . THE ANSWER IS,

GOD LOVES EVERYBODY BUT HE HAS

A SPECIAL LOVE FOR HIS OWN

FAMILY. YOU LOVE EVERYBODY,

> WELCOME BACK TO OUR SPECIAL

EDITION OF THE "700 CLUB" AND

WE ARE TAKING YOUR CALLS TODAY.

PAT IS IN THE STUDIO TO ANSWER

YOUR QUESTIONS AND WE HAVE

FANTASTIC QUESTIONS. THIS CALL

IS FROM SERENA. GO AHEAD.

I'M CALLING TO FIND OUT

WHY THE NUMBER 40 IS SO

SIGNIFICANT IN THE BIBLE. I'VE

BEEN CURIOUS ABOUT THAT.

SOMEONE ASKED ME AND I DON'T

KNOW THE ANSWER AND I WAS

WONDERING IF YOU KNOW.

I DO. 10 IS THE NUMBER OF

COMPLETION AND FOUR IS THE

DEALS WITH THE FOUR CORNERS OF

THE EARTH. EIGHT IS PERFECTION

AND SEVEN IS NEXT TO

PERFECTION AND SIX IS THE

NUMBER OF THE ANTICHRIST. THOSE

NUMBERS MEAN SOMETHING .

SO, 40 -- IT SEEMS LIKE A

BIBLICAL TIME?

40 YEARS.

40 WAS THE LIFESPAN OF THE

AVERAGE HUMAN BEING. TO LIVE A

LITTLE BIT LONGER.

THAT'S AMAZING IN THE NEXT

CALLER IS SHARON. GO AHEAD.

HI, PAT. I WONDER IF YOU

COULD ADVISE, WHERE IS THE

SAFEST PLACE FOR YOUR MONEY IN

THIS TURBULENT ECONOMIC

CLIMATE?

THAT IS A TOUGH QUESTION.

I, FOR ONE, HAVE RESOURCES

THAT PAY HIGH INTEREST RATES.

YOUR MONEY IS WORKING FOR YOU

AND YOU ARE AHEAD OF THE GAME.

I DON'T WANT TO GIVE INVESTMENT

ADVICE ON THIS PROGRAM. I THINK

WOULD BE A MISTAKE.

> THE NEXT CALLER , GO

AHEAD.

MY NAME IS JOHN AND I WAS A

HARD-CORE DRUG ADDICT. I

INJECTED METHAMPHETAMINE. I WAS

A HARD-CORE ALCOHOLIC AND I

SMOKED FOR 50 YEARS. I HAD

HEPATITIS SEE AND I GAVE MY

LIFE TO THE LORD A LONG TIME

AGO, WHILE I WAS STILL USING

AND SINCE THEN, I'VE BEEN SET

FREE FROM MY DRUGS AND FROM

HEPATITIS SEE DID SHE AND I HAD

TROUBLE QUITTING DRINK AND I'M

NOT AS BAD AS I USED TO BE BUT

I PRAY ABOUT IT AND I WANT HELP

GETTING OVER IT BECAUSE I DON'T

WANT TO KEEP DRINKING. WHAT IF

JESUS COMES BACK AND I'M STILL

DRINKING. DO I LOSE MY

SALVATION AND GO TO HELL? IT'S

IMPORTANT TO ME AND I WOULD

LIKE TO KNOW.

GOD DOESN'T SEND PEOPLE TO

HELL BECAUSE OF SMOKING OR

DRINKING AND AREN'T ANYTHING

ELSE BUT WITH YOUR BODY, YOUR

BODY IS A TEMPLE OF THE HOLY

SPIRIT AND YOU ARE ABUSING YOUR

BODY. GOD ISN'T LIKE THAT. IT

TAKES 21 DAYS TO DEVELOP A

HABIT. 21 DAYS. TODAY, YOU

DON'T TAKE THE DRINK AND THEN

TOMORROW,

DRINK AND NEXT THING, TODAY, I

WON'T TAKE A DRINK. ONE DAY AT

A TIME UNTIL YOU GET TO 21

DAYS AND BEFORE LONG, YOU WILL

HATE THE TASTE OF WHISKEY.

JOHN, CONGRATULATIONS,

GIVING UP SMOKING AFTER 50

YEARS BUT THAT'S INCREDIBLE AND

I THINK GOD IS PROUD OF YOU.

YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY. THE NEXT

CALLER IS JOANN. GO AHEAD.

AND CHRIST DIED ON THE

CROSS, WHY DID HE HAVE TO GO TO

HELL FOR THREE DAYS? I DON'T

UNDERSTAND THAT. IF YOU COULD

EXPLAIN THAT TO ME, I WOULD

REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

WELL, IT SAYS FOR THOSE

THAT WERE CAPTIVE, THREE DAYS

AND THREE NIGHTS AND THEN HE

CAME ALIVE. DURING THAT PERIOD

OF TIME, WE DON'T KNOW FOR

ABSOLUTE CERTAIN BUT THE IDEA

IS THAT HE WENT DOWN TO THE

NETHERWORLD AND PREACH THE

GOSPEL FOR THOSE THAT NEVER HAD

A CHANCE. THIS GAME THEM A

CHANCE AND IF THAT'S THE WAY

YOU READ IT, IT'S NOT VERY

CLEAR IN THE BIBLE EXACTLY WHAT

HE WAS DOING.

OUR NEXT CALL IS FROM

MARYANNE. GO AHEAD.

ICY IN GENESIS 27-36 THAT

ESAU ACCUSES JACOB OF STEALING

HIS BLESSINGS AND BIRTHRIGHT.

I WAS WONDERING THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN THE TWO. THANK YOU,

PAT.

THE FINANCIAL BLESSING, THE

BIRTHRIGHT, IT'S PART OF THE

FAMILY. IF YOU HAVE THE

BLESSING, IT'S ONE THING.

BIRTHRIGHT IS ANOTHER AND

ESAU MANAGED TO HAVE THEM BOTH.

AND IN THE BIRTH ORDER.

JACOB WAS SUPPOSED TO GET

EVERYTHING.

HE WAS. IF YOU HAVE THE

DUKE OF SOMEBODY OR OTHER ,

THE FIRSTBORN INHERITS THE

TITLE AND ALL THE PRIVILEGES.

THAT IS THE DEAL. BIRTHRIGHT

IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

THAT STORY FASCINATES ME AND

THAT THE MOM WAS IN ON IT. IT'S

REALLY FASCINATING. HERE IS

SONYA FROM PENNSYLVANIA WITH A

QUESTION FOR PAT.

I'D LIKE TO KNOW ONE THING.

WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN, WILL WE

SEE GOD IN JESUS, OR WILL THEY

BE AS ONE? THANK YOU VERY MUCH

AND I LOVE YOU, PAT. THANK

YOU, SONYA. YOU KNOW, I'VE

NEVER BEEN TO HEAVEN BUT I'D

LOVE TO BE THERE. I THINK IT

WILL BE THE GLORY OF GOD. THE

FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY

SPIRIT, IN THIS SENSE, OUR ONE

AND WE SEE ALL THE POWER OF

GOD . WHEN WE DIE, IT WILL BE A

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL

EXPERIENCE. WHEN WE GET TO

HEAVEN, WE WILL BE LOST IN THE

GLORY OF THE POWER OF GOD . WE

WON'T MAKE A DISTINCTION

BETWEEN THE FATHER AND THE SUN.

IT WON'T BE THAT WAY.

IT PROBABLY WON'T MATTER.

> HERE IS STEVE FROM

LOUISIANA WITH THIS QUESTION

FOR PAT.

I HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING

THE BOOK OF LIFE. I SEE IT IN

THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT. MY

QUESTION IS, WHEN AS A PERSON

ACTUALLY -- WHEN DO THEY HAVE

THEIR NAME PUT IN THE BOOK OF

LIFE AND CAN IT BE REMOVED?

I DON'T -- WELL, CAN IT BE

REMOVED? I DON'T THINK SO. WE

PUT IT DOWN IN THE BOOK AS THE

PEOPLE AND THAT'S WHY PAUL SAID

YOU'VE GOT TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR

SALVATION WITH FEAR AND

TREMBLING. GOD IS WORKING WITH

YOU. THAT IS THE BEST I CAN

ANSWER.

AMEN. I PRAY FOR MY LOVED

ONES THAT THEIR NAME IS WRITTEN

IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.

GOD DOESN'T REACH DOWN AND

PICK THIS ONE UP AND PUT THE

OLD ONE DOWN. YOU'VE GOT TO

MAKE THE DECISION YOURSELVES.

HERE IS JOYCE FROM JOPLIN,

MISSOURI.

WE HAVE BEEN STUDYING THE

BOOK OF JEREMIAH. I WANTED TO

KNOW -- HE WAS CONSIDERED THE

WEEPING PROPHET BUT WHY WAS HE

NOT PERMITTED TO GET MARRIED ,

SEEING HE HAD COME FROM A

PRIESTLY FAMILY. I KNOW SOME

WERE CONSIDERED THEY COULD GET

MARRIED BUT WHY WAS JEREMIAH

NOT PERMITTED TO GET MARRIED?

IF YOU WERE SENT APART TO

GOD, THAT'S YOUR CALLING. THAT

IS YOU. MAYBE YOU ARE NOT

SUPPOSED TO SHARE THAT WITH

ANYONE ELSE. I DON'T KNOW WHY.

HE WAS A GREAT PROPHET. WE

DON'T KNOW WHY.

MAYBE HE DIDN'T WANT TO?

AND THIS IS SUE, CALLING FROM

PENNSYLVANIA. GO AHEAD.

MY QUESTION IS, DOES THAT

AFFECT YOUR SALVATION IF YOU

ARE NOT WATER BAPTIZED AS AN

ADULT?

I THINK THE BIBLE SAYS THAT

WE ARE HAVING THE NEWNESS OF

LIFE WITH THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF

BAPTISM BEING BURIAL AND

RAISING AGAIN. IT'S AFTER YOU

FIND THE LORD. DOES THAT AFFECT

YOUR SALVATION? I DON'T THINK

SO. IT'S ONE OF THE FIRST, IF

NOT ONLY THE FIRST, AFTER

YOU'VE FOUND THE LORD.

WE GET THIS QUESTION ALMOST

EVERY TIME BECAUE PEOPLE SEE

THE TWO AS ONE.

THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT

SPRINKLING AND ALL THAT. LET'S

FACE IT, IT'S THE SYMBOL OF

BAPTISM THAT IS BURIED WITH

HIM AND RAISED. THE WHOLE IDEA

OF BEING IMMERSED, THAT'S THE

WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE.

A REALLY POWERFUL

EXPERIENCE IF YOU ARE THINKING

ABOUT GETTING BAPTIZED. I

CRIED. I GOT BAPTIZED TWICE,

JUST TO MAKE SURE AND I CRIED

BOTH TIMES. SO POWERFUL, SO

AMAZING.

> OUR NEXT CALLER IS JUDY

FROM LIBERTY, MISSOURI.

MY QUESTION IS -- WHAT IS

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAIL

AND THE LAKE OF FIRE? DO

NONBELIEVERS GO TO HELL FIRST

WHEN THEY DIE AND THEN THE LAKE

OF FIRE FOR ETERNITY AFTER THE

JUDGMENT?

I THINK IT'S ONE CHOICE.

IT'S FIRE. IT'S REMORSE. IT'S

THE SYMBOL OF HELL. TALK ABOUT

A LETHAL FIRE THAT IS NEVER

QUENCHED. THE UNBELIEVERS GO

THERE ALL THE TIME AND IF I

WERE YOU, I WOULD DO EVERYTHING

I CAN, IN MY POWER, TO KEEP

FROM GOING TO HELL. PEOPLE

SAY, MAYBE NEXT YEAR. I WILL

COME TO THE LORD, MAYBE NEXT

YEAR. TALK ABOUT DANGEROUS. I

WOULDN'T RISK HELL FOR ANYTHING

IN THE WORLD.

GOD SAYS IT'S HIS DESIRE

THAT NONE SHOULD PERISH.

BUT, IT'S GOD'S WILL THAT

> WELCOME BACK TO THIS

SPECIAL EDITION OF THE "700

CLUB" AND OUR FINAL ROUND OF

YOUR VOICEMAIL QUESTIONS AND

PAT'S HONEST ANSWERS. WE

START WITH THIS QUESTION FROM

JOYCE.

I HAVE A DEAR, DEAR, DEAR

FRIEND WHO IS VERY WELL LOVED

AND FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE RIGHT

NOW. HIS NAME IS MATT AND HE IS

SUFFERING FROM 4 STAGE

ESOPHAGEAL AND STOMACH CANCER.

HE IS IN A LOT OF PAIN. THE

DOCTORS WERE DOING EVERYTHING

THEY COULD. RECENTLY, HE

DECIDED NOT TO HAVE THE DOCTORS

DO ANYTHING MORE AND I GUESS HE

ACCEPTED THE FACT THAT HE IS

GOING TO DIE. MY QUESTION IS

THIS -- DOES GOD STILL ANSWER

PRAYERS AND DO MIRACLES FOR

PEOPLE THAT HAVE DECIDED TO

GIVE UP? I'M STILL PRAYING FOR

HIM. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE

PRAYING FOR THIS YOUNG BOY.

HE'S 33 YEARS OLD WITH A ONE

AND A HALF-YEAR-OLD CHILD.

DOES GOD DEW MIRACLES, OF

COURSE HE DOES. SOMEBODY SAYS

I'VE GIVEN UP BUT GOD HASN'T

GIVEN UP. THE POWER OF GOD IS

STILL PRESENT EVEN IF SOMEBODY

HAS THE WORST KIND OF CANCER.

AT THE SAME TIME, I DO NOT

THINK HEROIC MEASURES THAT

COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ARE

NECESSARILY APPROPRIATE TO KEEP

SOMEBODY WHO IS DYING ALIVE. I

DO THINK IN THE CASE OF A YOUNG

MAN THAT YOU SHOULD DO ALL THE

PRAYING YOU CAN AND GOD CAN

DO MIRACLES. NOT CAN, BUT

WILL.

PAT, HIS NAME IS MATT AND

LET'S PRAY FOR HIM. PRAY FOR

MATT.

FATHER, IN JESUS' NAME, WE

PRAY FOR MATT . HE SAYS HE'S

DYING BUT GOD, YOU KNOW HOW

LONG HE HAS ON THIS EARTH AND

YOU WILL OPEN THE DOORS OF

HEAVEN FOR HIM. LORD, TOUCH

MAT WITH THE POWER OF GOD AND

PERFORM A MIRACLE IN JESUS'

NAME, AMEN.

AMEN, AMEN. THANK YOU, PAT.

THE NEXT CALL IS FROM LAROU.

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK PAT A

QUESTION. WHAT DOES HE FEEL

LIKE GOD WOULD SAY ABOUT

TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS?

I THINK TATTOOS AND

PIERCINGS ARE THE DEVIL. I

THINK SYMBOLS OF HEATHEN

WORSHIP -- AND I THINK TO ADORN

YOUR BODY WIH THOSE IS A

DESECRATION OF YOUR BODY, A

TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. I

THINK TATTOOS AND THINGS LIKE

THIS ARE TERRIBLE.

WHAT ABOUT ALL OF OUR

SERVICEMEN?

THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT.

YEAH. GOD CAN FORGIVE.

OF COURSE, HE DOES, BUT

IT'S NOT A GOOD THING TO DO.

YOU ASKED THE QUESTION AND THAT

IS THE ANSWER.

> HERE IS DAVID FROM ARIZONA

WITH THIS QUESTION FOR PAT.

IS IT A SIN TO WORK ON THE

SABBATH DAY? I DON'T REALLY

KNOW -- SOME CONSIDER THE

SABBATH TO BE SATURDAY AND

OTHERS ON SUNDAY.

THE JEWISH SABBATH IS ON

SATURDAY AND THE MUSLIMS ARE

FRIDAY AND THE CHRISTIANS

CELEBRATE THE DAY OF

RESURRECTION ON SUNDAY. I DO

THINK THE BIGGEST THING IS THE

SABBATH IS NOT MAIN FOR MAN.

THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN.

MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE , YOU

HAVE A DAY OF REST, ONE DAY OF

REST YOU WOULD HAVE A NERVOUS

BREAKDOWN. GOD PROVIDED THAT

TO YOU. THE FACT THAT WE HAVE

COMMERCE GOING 24 HOURS A DAY,

SEVEN DAYS A WEEK IS WHY SO

MANY PEOPLE HAVE NERVOUS

BREAKDOWNS AND COMMIT SUICIDE.

THEY DON'T HAVE A CHANCE TO

REST AND GOD MADE THE SABBATH

FOR THEM TO REST.

AMEN. I HAVE NO PROBLEM

RESTING. AND HERE IS SUE FROM

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, WITH

ANOTHER QUESTION FOR PAT.

I WANT TO WISH YOU A BELATED

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON TURNING 93

YEARS YOUNG. FOR MANY YEARS,

I'VE BEEN PUZZLED ABOUT WHEN

JESUS ASKED, LEAD US NOT INTO

TEMPTATION, IN THE LORD'S

PRAYER. WE'VE BEEN TAUGHT

THAT GOD DOES NOT TEMPT US AND

ONLY SATAN DOES THAT IN OUR

LIVES. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME

UNDERSTAND THIS CONFUSION?

GOOD QUESTION. THE ADDITION

OF THE BIBLE SAYS DON'T LET US

BE SIFTED. IT'S NOT LEADING

INTO TEMPTATION, BUT DON'T LET

US BE SIFTED. KEEP US FROM

BEING IN A SITUATION WHERE WE

ARE PUT TO THE TEST. THAT IS

WHAT HE IS PRAYING. LEAD US

NOT INTO TEMPTATION. OF COURSE,

THAT WOULD LEAD YOU INTO

TEMPTATION. IT DOESN'T MAKE

SENSE.

ANOTHER GOOD QUESTION FROM

VICKI FROM TEXAS. GO AHEAD.

I KNOW THAT GOD KNOWS

EVERYTHING ABOUT US. HE KNOWS

WHAT WE THINK. BUT, I'M

WONDERING, DOES SATAN KNOW WHAT

WE ARE THINKING? I KNOW HE'S

AROUND, BUT DOES HE HAVE THE

ABILITY TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON

IN OUR MIND WITHOUT IT BEING

VERBALLY SPOKEN?

I REALLY CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT

SATAN KNOWS OR WHAT HE DOESN'T

KNOW. HE INJECTS HIMSELF INTO

OUR THOUGHTS. IT'S NOT SO MUCH

LISTENING TO OUR PRAYERS AS

TRYING TO PUT HIMSELF IN OUR

MINDS. THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE

SAYS TO TAKE CAPTIVE EVERY

THOUGHT.

ABSOLUTELY.

> OUR NEXT CALL IS FROM

LINDA. GO AHEAD.

IS IT OKAY TO GIVE PART OF

MY TITHES TO A CHRISTIAN

ORGANIZATION IN ADDITION TO

GIVING IT TO THE CHURCH?

YOU KNOW, THERE WAS ONE

STORY IN THE OLD TESTAMENT TO

BRING YOUR TITHING TO THE STORE

HOST. IS THAT YOUR LOCAL CHURCH

OR AN ORGANIZATION WHERE YOU

ARE FED OR A PLACE WHERE YOU

ARE BEING BLESSED OR SOMEPLACE

DOING GOOD WORKS? I THINK ALL

OF THOSE ARE RECIPIENTS. I

WOULDN'T JUST SAY IT BELONGS TO

THE LOCAL CHURCH, ALTHOUGH

PASTORS THINK IT'S GOOD TO

SAY THE TITHE BELONGS TO THE

CHURCH. I DON'T BUY THAT.

SHE IS ASKING IF OKAY TO

GIVE TO THE CHURCH AND ALSO --

ABSOLUTELY. IF IT WEREN'T

FOR THE LORD -- I WOULDN'T GIVE

TO THE VETERANS , MOVING

SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I DON'T

THINK THAT'S WHERE YOU WOULD

PUT IT.

HERE'S A QUESTION FOR PAT

FROM MELISSA. GO AHEAD.

I LOOK FORWARD TO THE

HONEST ANSWER EPISODES AND

THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS BUT MY

QUESTION IS, ON THE DECEMBER

EPISODE, A CALLER ASKED A

QUESTION ALONG THE LINES OF

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE? YOU

SPOKE A LITTLE ABOUT THE

DECEASED PERSON'S SPIRIT

STAYING ON EARTH FOR THREE OR

FOUR DAYS, IF I REMEMBER YOUR

ANSWER CORRECTLY. CAN YOU

TALK MORE ABOUT THIS? I LOOK

FOR THAT IN THE SCRIPTURE AND

COULDN'T FIND ANY MORE

INFORMATION EXPLAINING THIS.

THE EXAMPLE WAS THE MAN WHO

DIED DIED, HIS BROTHERS AND

SISTERS, THEY SAID IF YOU HAD

ONLY BEEN HERE, MY BROTHER

WOULDN'T HAVE DIED IN ON THE

RESURRECTION. WHEN HE CALLED ,

THERE WAS ALREADY A

DISTURBANCE AND THE SPIRIT

CAME BACK IN AND HE CAME

> WELCOME BACK TO THIS

SPECIAL EDITION OF THE "700

CLUB" AND WE'VE BEEN TAKING

YOUR VOICEMAIL QUESTIONS AND WE

WILL TAKE EMAIL QUESTIONS.

WE'VE GOT ONE FROM JIMMY. IS

IT RIGHT OR WRONG, GOOD OR BAD

TO DONATE YOUR BODY TO SCIENCE

WHEN YOU PASS ON TO HEAVEN? I

NEED THE BIBLICAL ANSWER. THIS

IS JIMMY.

IT SAYS IN THE BIBLE , AND

THEY ALL HAD FUNERALS, THEY

WEREN'T BURNED AND THEY HAD

A TOMB AND WERE INVOLVED IN

THAT WAS PART OF THE DEAL. IN

TODAY'S MODERN WORLD, THE MOST

WONDERFUL THING THAT IF YOU ARE

DEAD YOU HAVE KIDNEYS AND CAN

SAVE A TEENAGER'S LIFE OR

OTHER ORGANS THAT CAN BE USED

BEFORE YOU PASS ON, I THINK

THAT ABSOLUTELY, AFTER YOU ARE

DEAD, WHO CARES? YOU ARE GOING

TO BE WITH THE LORD.

I READ ABOUT A LADY WHO

SAVED FIVE PEOPLE BY THE

ORGANS FROM HER BODY. FIVE

DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

YES.

GREAT

RECENTLY RECEIVED JESUS AS LORD

AND SAVIOR AND WAS BAPTIZED AND

HE SAID HE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO

SEE HIS DECEASED BUDDHIST

PARENTS AND THEN WOULD WANT NO

PART OF CHRISTIANITY. HE

STOPPED ATTENDING WORSHIP

SERVICES. WHAT CAN I SAY TO

HIM?

WELL, GOD LOVES PEOPLE,

INCLUDING BUDDHISTS. I DON'T

UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM. CAN'T

SEE HIS DECEASED BUDDHIST

PARENTS?

HE RECEIVED JESUS CHRIST

BUT IS WORRIED ABOUT NOT SEEING

HIS PARENTS IN THE

AFTERLIFE?

THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME TO

THE LORD ARE THOSE THAT

ACCEPTED JESUS AS SAVIOR AND

WERE BORN AGAIN AND WERE

FORGIVEN FOR YOUR SINS. THAT'S

WHO YOU WILL SEE IN HEAVEN,

NOT NECESSARILY BUDDHISM. IF

YOU WANT TO GIVE UP YOUR FAITH,

IT'S A CRAZY THING TO DO.

AMEN.

> THIS TO BE RECESSED IF A

PERSON DOES NOT ATTEND CHURCH

REGULARLY BUT STILL BELIEVES IN

THE LORD AND ACCEPTS HIM AND

HONORS HIM, WITH A NOT BE

ACCEPTED INTO HEAVEN? PEOPLE

HAVE TO WORK SUNDAYS TO SUPPORT

THEIR FAMILIES AND MY NIECE WAS

TOLD SHE AND HER FAMILY

WOULDN'T BE ACCEPTED EVEN

THOUGH THEY ARE GOOD,

GOD-FEARING PEOPLE. CAN YOU

CLARIFY?

IF SOMEBODY HAS BEEN BORN

AGAIN BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THE

FACT THAT THEY HAVE TO WORK ON

SUNDAY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH

THEIR SALVATION.

AMEN. PLUS, THERE'S ALL

KINDS OF SERVICES, WEDNESDAY

NIGHT AND SATURDAY NIGHT.

YOU NEED A DAY OF REST AND

YOU WILL KILL YOURSELF IF YOU

WORK SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.

SHARI WRIGHT'S IN, WHAT CAN

WE DO ABOUT OUR BORDER? OUR

COUNTRY IS INVADED BY HEALTHY

YOUNG MEN WHO CAN EASILY

UNLEASH TERRORISM ACROSS THE

NATION. THEY ARE NOT VETTED

AND THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW

HOW DANGEROUS THEY ARE. WHAT

CAN WE DO ABOUT OUR BORDER?

WE NEED A DIFFERENT

PRESIDENT. THOSE BORDERS ARE

WIDE OPEN AND THERE IS A FLOOD

OF IMMIGRANTS COMING IN AND

THE DEMOCRATS SEEM TO THINK

THAT THEY VOTE DEMOCRATIC BUT

THEY VOTE . THEY ARE A DRAG

ON THE SOCIAL SERVICES . IT'S

TERRIBLE THAT WE HAVE TO

ACCEPT ALL THESE PEOPLE. WE

NEED TO SAY YOU CAN'T COME IN

AND IF YOU DO, WE WILL SEND YOU

BACK TO MEXICO.

WE NEED A NEW PRESIDENT,

LIKE YOU SAID.

WE NEED A NEW PRESIDENT MORE

THAN ANYTHING.

THIS QUESTION, I WANT TO

KNOW IF IT'S OKAY TO EAT THE

FOODS THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO

EAT IN LEVITICUS. DOES THAT

COUNT AND CAN I CHANGE MY

BELIEFS IF IT DOESN'T PERTAIN

TO US AND IS THAT STILL A SIN?

THEY WANT TO KNOW IF THEY CAN

EAT THE FOODS NOT ALLOWED IN

LEVITICUS?

OF COURSE, YOU CAN. THE

BIBLE SAYS HE MADE US FREE WITH

ALL FOOD AND DECLARED ALL FOOD

CLEAN.

WASN'T IT IN THE SCRIPTURE

THAT IT IS NOT WHAT GOES IN

THAT MAKES YOU DIRTY, BUT WHAT

COMES OUT?

ALL RIGHT.

THAT WILL DO IT AND WE HAVE

ONE MORE MINUTE. WHILE WE'VE

GOT YOU HERE, TELL US WHAT

YOU'VE BEEN UP TO. YOU HAD YOUR

93rd BIRTHDAY TWO WEEKS AGO AND

IT WAS WONDERFUL.

I'M TRYING TO DO SOME

EXERCISE TO GET BACK TO WHERE I

USED TO BE BUT I'M NOT THERE

YET. I HAVE TROUBLE WALKING

AND I'M IN A WHEELCHAIR ALL

THE TIME. I'M TRYING TO GET

TO WHERE I CAN WALK AGAIN AND

MY KNEES ARE GETTING BETTER.

HOW CAN WE PRAY FOR YOU? OUR

AUDIENCE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW

WHAT WE CAN DO TO PRAY FOR YOU.

PRAY THAT I HAVE GOOD

KNEES AND FUNCTIONS AND CAN

WALK AROUND.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT.

THAT IS THE POWER, PAT.

DEVOTE YOURSELVES TO

PRAYER, BEING WATCHFUL AND

THANKFUL. I THANK YOU FOR

LETTING ME SHARE THIS TIME WITH
