As long as they made the minimum credit card payments, D.J. and Brandyn thought their finances were fine. But the result was a shocking $137,000 in credit card debt. See how following the Lord’s guidance transformed their hearts and eliminated ...

THE U.S. DOLLAR IS KING WHEN IT
COMES TO GLOBAL FINANCIAL
TRANSACTIONS , YET THERE IS TAL
OF THE IMPENDING DOOM OF THE
DOLLAR.
SOME NATIONS ARE ALREADY
MOVING AWAY FROM USING THE
DOLLAR FOR INTERNATIONAL
BUSINESS. WHAT THIS COULD MEAN
FOR YOUR POCKETBOOK.
Reporter: THERE HAS BEEN
PLENTY OF TALK LATELY THAT THE
U.S. DOLLAR COULD USE ITS
CURRENCY STATUS.
IS KING DOLLAR GOING TO BE
TOSSED OFF OF ITS THRONE?
THE WORLD HAVE BECOME TOO
DEPENDENT ON THE WITH DOLLAR.
Reporter: A GROWING NUMBER O
NATIONS ARE TURNING AWAY FROM
THE GREENBACK BECAUSE OF PAYMEN
CURRENCY, AND THAT HAS LED TO
FEARS THE U.S. COULD LOSE ITS
POSITION AT THE TOP RESERVE
CURRENCY. RESERVE CURRENCIES
ARE HELD IN LARGE QUANTITIES BY
CENTRAL BANKS AND OTHER NATIONS
FOR FINANCIAL STABILITY AND ARE
USED IN INTERNATIONAL TRADE. IT
HAS BEEN A BIG ADVANTAGE FOR TH
U.S. ECONOMY. FOR INSTANCE, THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN PAY FOR
ANY FOREIGN EXPENDITURES BY
SIMPLY PRINTING MORE MONEY. IF
THE DOLLAR WERE DETHRONED AS TH
RESERVE CURRENCY OF THE WORLD,
SOME HAVE WARNED WE WOULD SEE
SOARING INFLATION ANY
CATASTROPHIC DROP IN OUR
STANDARD OF LIVING. OTHER
ECONOMISTS, HOWEVER, BELIEVE IT
WOULDN'T BE THAT DRAMATIC.
EXPERTS NOT ONLY FAILED TO AGRE
ON WHETHER THE DOLLAR IS DOOMED
TO LOSE ITS RESERVE CURRENCY
STATUS, THEY ALSO DIFFER ON WHA
THE ECONOMIC FALL THAT WOULD BE
IF IT DID. THE AMERICAN
INSTITUTE FOR ECONOMIC RESEARCH
IS ONE OF MANY WHO SAY THERE I
NO SHORT-TERM THREAT TO THE
RESERVE CURRENCY STATUS OF THE
DOLLAR, BECAUSE THERE JUST
AREN'T BETTER OPTIONS.
THE FEDERAL RESERVE HAS MADE
A LOT OF MISTAKES, AND
CERTAINLY, THE ONE EYED MAN IS
KING. THE FED IS STILL VERY MUC
THE GOLD STANDARD.
Reporter: HE SAYS THERE IS N
REASON TO BE WORRIED THAT THE
DOLLAR WILL BE REPLACED BY THE
CHINESE.
THE ODDS THAT THAT WILL TAKE
THE PLACE OF THE DOLLAR IS SLIM
TO NONE.
Reporter: THE REASON IS CHIN
WILL DO WHAT IT TAKES TO BECOME
A TOP RESERVE CURRENCY. IT WON'
ALLOW THE VALUE OF THEIR MONEY
TO FLOW BUT PEGS IT TO THE
DOLLAR, IT IS CAPITAL MARKETS
ARE LARGELY CLOSE TO INVESTORS.
THE U.S. HAS THE DEEPEST CAPITA
MARKETS IN THE WORLD.
YOU NEED A BOND MARKET, A
SECURITIES MARKET, A BIG ONE.
YOU NEED A LOT OF OTHER
FEATURES. UNDERWRITERS,
SETTLEMENT, CLEARANCE,
DEPOSITORIES , HEDGING OPTIONS
FUTURES, ET CETERA. ABOVE ALL,
YOU NEED THE RULE OF LAW. WHO
TRUST THE CHINESE? NOBODY. YOU
TRUST ME RUSSIANS? NOBODY.
Reporter: TALK OF A CURRENC
INVOLVING BRAZIL, CHINA, INDIA
AND SOUTH AFRICA IS STILL
LARGELY JUST TALK. THE AMERICAN
RESERVE SHARE HAS FALLEN, BUT
MOSTLY BECAUSE OF THE CREATION
OF THE HERO. IF THE DOLLAR WERE
REPLACED AS THE WORLD RESERVE
CURRENCY, YOUR MONEY WOULD BE
WORTH LESS. FOREIGN GOODS WOULD
COST MORE, INFLATION WOULD
INCREASE, AND THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE TO REIN I
ITS ONE AWAY SPENDING BECAUSE
FEWER NATIONS WOULD BE BUYING
U.S. TREASURY RATES AND
FINANCING OUR HUGE FEDERAL DEBT
NATIONS CURRENTLY DITCHING THE
DOLLAR AS A PAYMENT CURRENCY IS
A MORE PRESSING ISSUE. SOME
NATIONS ARE DROPPING THE DOLLAR
SIMPLY TO CUT OUT THE MIDDLEMAN
THEY WANT TO USE THEIR OWN
CURRENCY WHEN TRADING. OTHERS
ARE AFRAID OF A WEAPONIZED
DOLLAR AFTER THE U.S. FROZE
HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IN RUSSIAN RESERVES BECAUSE OF
ITS INVASION OF UKRAINE. OTHERS
WANT TO SEE THE AMERICAN
ECONOMIC DOMINANCE WE CAN. THIS
IS A POTENTIAL NEAR-TERM THREAT
TO THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR, BUT
MOST ECONOMISTS SAY ANY THREAT
TO THE RESERVE CURRENCY STATUS
AS MANY YEARS, IF NOT DECADES,
AWAY.
I THINK THE BIGGEST THREAT T
THE DOLLAR IS DIGITAL CURRENCY.
AS THAT TAKES OVER TRANSACTIONS
THE DOLLAR IS LIKELY TO BE LEFT
BEHIND. TECHNOLOGY IS GOING TO
DO IT, BUT WE ARE HASTENING THA
DAY. THE REASON WE ARE IS THAT
WE ARE SPENDING WAY TOO MUCH
MONEY FOR GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS .
WHEN YOU START CROSSING $30
TRILLION IN NATIONAL DEBT, THAT
GETS EVERYBODY CONCERNED. NOT
TOO LONG AGO, A DELEGATION FROM
CHINA CAME . AT THAT POINT IN
TIME, CHINA HELD OVER $1
TRILLION IN U.S. TREASURY IS.
THEY WERE VERY POINTED IN THE
QUESTION, ARE YOU GOING TO
MONETIZE YOUR DEBT? WHAT THAT
MEANS, ARE YOU GOING TO JUST
PRINT MORE MONEY IN ORDER TO
COVER YOUR SHORTFALL AND
INCREASE THE FLOAT OF THE
DOLLAR? DOES THE FEDERAL RESERV
HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT?
THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT
EXPANSION OF THEIR LEDGER. SIR
YES, THAT IS OUT THERE. IN
RESPONSE TO OUR RESPONSE TO
CHINA, THEY SAID, WE ARE GOING
TO SELL THESE. WE DON'T WANT TO
HOLD ONTO THEM. WE WILL GO TO
SOMETHING ELSE. THAT IS WHY
PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER
CURRENCY. WHEN THEY START
LOOKING AND LANDING ON A STABLE
DIGITAL CURRENCY, WHICH IS YET
TO EMERGE, BUT WHEN IT DIES,
THAT WILL BE THE END OF THE U.S
DOLLAR.
> IN OTHER NEWS, PRESIDENT
BIDEN IS CUTTING SHORT HIS VISI
TO THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION TO
DEAL WITH THE DEBT CEILING
CRISIS. JOHN JESSUP HAS MORE ON
THAT STORY.
Reporter: THE PRESIDENT
LEAVING TODAY FOR THE G7 SUMMIT
IN JAPAN. INSTEAD OF STOPS IN
NEW GUINEA AND AUSTRALIA
AFTERWARDS, HE WILL RETURN HOME
TO WASHINGTON SUNDAY TO WORK ON
THE DEBT CEILING. AFTER WHILE
SUMMIT TUESDAY, THE PRESIDENTS
ON THE CONFIDENT OF A DEAL,
WHILE HOUSE SPEAKER KEVIN
McCARTHY SAYS THERE IS NO
GUARANTEE.
WE JUST FINISH A GOOD
PRODUCTIVE MEETING WITH OUR
CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP. A LOT
OF PATH FORWARD TO MAKE SURE
THAT AMERICA DOES NOT DEFAULT O
ITS DEBT.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE WILL GE
TO AN AGREEMENT. ALL IT MEANS I
THAT THE PROCESS IS A BETTER
PROCESS , SOMETHING I HAVE
REQUESTED FOR A LONG TIME. IT
GIVES US A STRUCTURE TO BE MORE
PRODUCTIVE, BUT A SHORT
TIMEFRAME TO GET IT DONE.
Reporter: TOPICS INCLUDE
STRICTER WORK REQUIREMENTS FOR
THOSE ON GOVERNMENT AID AND
RECLAIMING $30 BILLION IN
UNSPENT COVID FUNDS. THE
TREASURY SECRETARY WARNS THE
DEBT CEILING MUST BE RAISED BY
JUNE 1 TO AVOID A GOVERNMENT TH
FALL.
> NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS
OVERRODE THE VETO OF THE
GOVERNOR TO ESTABLISH A 12 WEEK
ABORTION BAN IN THE STATE. THE
DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR RORY COOPER
BLOCKED THE BILL OVER THE
WEEKEND AND TRY TO PERSUADE
SEVERAL REPUBLICANS TO SUPPORT
HIS MOVE. IN A PARTYLINE VOTE,
BOTH HOUSES OVERRODE THE VETO.
THE EXCEPTIONS FOR INCEST OR
SEXUAL ASSAULT FOR 20 WEEKS OF
PREGNANCY, FETAL ANOMALIES UP T
24 WEEKS, AND WHEN THE MOTHERS
LIFE IS IN DANGER.
> REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES ACCUSING A. OF
DOUBLE STANDARD, ENFORCING A LA
THAT PROTECTS PRICING PREGNANCY
CRISIS CENTERS AND ABORTION
CLINICS. THEY HER TESTIMONY OF
ONGOING ATTACKS
CENTERS AND CHURCHES
NATIONWIDE.
Reporter: LAST WEDNESDAY,
THERE WERE THREE DECAPITATED
ANIMALS IN FRONT OF THIS
PRO-LIFE CLINIC, HIS FIRST
THOUGHT?
I WOULD CALL IT A WITCH
ATTACK.
Reporter: HE HEADS THE
CATHOLIC RUN PREGNANCY CENTER
IN ORLANDO. HE TOLD CBN THAT HE
WAS SHOCKED WHEN HE SAW THE
REMAINS OF THE ANIMALS IN FRONT
OF THE BUILDING.
THERE WAS A HUGE CHICKEN WIT
ITS HEAD CUT OFF. THERE WAS
ANOTHER HUGE BIRD WITH ITS HEAD
CUT OFF. AND THEN, A BABY LAMB
THAT HAD BEEN DECAPITATED.
Reporter: THE GROUP, CATHOLI
VOTE, SAYS 157 CHURCHES AND 87
PREGNANCY RESOURCE CENTERS AND
OTHER PRO-LIFE ORGANIZATIONS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE BEEN
ATTACKED SINCE THE DRAFT SUPREM
COURT OPINION PROPOSING TO
REVERSE ROE V. WADE WAS LEAKED
IN MAY 2022.
THESE ATTACKS HAVE INCLUDED
FIREBOMBINGS AND VANDALISM THAT
INCLUDES PHRASES THREATENING
GRAFFITI LIKE, "IF ABORTIONS
AREN'T SAFE, NEITHER ARE YOU."
AND INCLUDE SMASHING OF WINDOWS
TARGETED ONLINE HARASSMENT ,
PROTESTERS THREATENING VIOLENCE
OUTSIDE PREGNANCY RESOURCE
CENTERS AND CHURCHES , AND MANY
OTHER ACTS.
Reporter: ON MONDAY,
REPUBLICANS ON THE HOUSE
JUDICIARY SUBCOMMITTEE HELD A
HEARING, ACCUSING THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION AND THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT OF USING THE FREEDOM
OF ACCESS TO CLINIC ENTRANCES,
OR FACE ACT, TO UNFAIRLY TARGET
PRO-LIFE ACTIVISTS FOR
PROSECUTION.
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT THAT IS
THAT IS CALLED SELECTIVE
PROSECUTION IN VIOLATION OF THE
CONSTITUTION. YOU CANNOT MAKE
PROSECUTORIAL DECISIONS BECAUSE
YOU WANT TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT
OF SOMEBODY WHO IS A WELL-KNOWN
ANTIABORTION OR PRO-LIFE
ACTIVIST.
Reporter: AMONG THOSE WHO
TESTIFIED WAS A PRO-LIFE
ACTIVISTS, MIKE HAWK, HE WAS
ARRESTED IN FRONT OF HIS SEVEN
CHILDREN LAST FALL WHILE GIVING
FOR ALLEGEDLY VIOLATING THE
ACT. THE JURY FOUND HIM NOT
GUILTY OF THE FEDERAL CHARGES
EARLIER THIS YEAR.
THEY SHOW UP AT YOUR HOUSE,
20 AGENTS WITH GUNS DRAWN IN
FRONT OF YOUR FAMILY . WHY DO
YOU THINK THEY DID THAT?
THE INTENTION WAS TO
HUMILIATE ME, TO SCARE MY
CHILDREN, AND INDUCE FEAR IN
PRO-LIFE AMERICA.
Reporter: THE FACE ACT MAKES
IT A CRIME TO CAUSE DAMAGE OR
DESTRUCTION TO A REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH CARE FACILITY OR PLACE O
WORSHIP. DESPITE THE HUNDREDS
OF ATTACKS AGAINST CHURCHES AND
PRO-LIFE FACILITIES SINCE THE
ABORTION RULING LAST YEAR, THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS BROUGHT
ONLY FOUR INDICTMENTS UNDER THE
FACE ACT AGAINST PRO-ABORTION
ACTIVISTS , COMPARED TO THE 26
PRO-LIFE ACTIVISTS ALLEGEDLY
FACING SIMILAR VIOLATIONS.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS
SHOWN A CLEAR DOUBLE STANDARD O
ENFORCING THE FACE ACT IN A WAY
THAT PROTECTS PRO-ABORTION
ACTIVISTS AND FACILITIES WHILE
SUBSTANTIALLY IGNORING ATTACKS
AND PRO-LIFE ADVOCATES,
FACILITIES AND CHURCHES. IT IS
DISGRACE THAT THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT WOULD RATHER CATER T
THE PRO-ABORTION POLITICAL
MOVEMENT AND PROTECT PLACES THA
ASSIST PREGNANT WOMEN IN NEED.
> SON DISTURBING ATTACKS.
GORDON, BACK TO YOU.
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE
IDEOLOGY GOVERNING THE F.B.I.,
BUT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE
DEALING WITH HERE. IT'S AN
IDEOLOGY. THE IDEOLOGY IS, THE
ARE PRO-CHOICE AT THE TOP
LEVELS, THEREFORE, THEY WILL
SELECT AND REINFORCE THE LAW. I
THEY WERE PRO-LIFE, WITH A DO
WITH THE OTHER WAY? I KIND OF
DOUBT THAT. IT'S A SHAME WHEN
THE INSTITUTIONS OF OUR
GOVERNMENT ARE NO LONGER TRUSTE
BY THE CITIZENS. THAT IS WHAT W
WERE GETTING INTO NOW. WHEN YOU
LOOK AT THE REPORT AND THE
F.B.I. WEAPONIZED AGAINST AN
INCOMING PRESIDENT, IT WASN'T
JUST A CANDIDATE, BUT IT WAS IN
THE FIRST YEARS OF HIS
PRESIDENCY, WHEN YOU SEE THE
SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT , THAT IF
YOU ARE PRAYING ON A SIDEWALK
AND THAT GETS 20 AGENTS AT YOUR
FRONT DOOR AT A PREDAWN RAID,
WHAT'S THAT ABOUT? ABSOLUTELY,
IT'S ABOUT INTIMIDATION . IT IS
TRYING TO ENFORCE A SPECIFIC
IDEOLOGY, OR SUPPORT A
PARTICULAR CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT. IT SEEMS TO BE
THROUGHOUT THE BUREAU. IT ALSO
SEEMS TO BE THROUGHOUT THE
INTELLIGENCE SERVICES. IT SEEMS
TO BE WITHIN THE BUREAUCRACY O
WASHINGTON D.C. WHAT HAPPENED
WITH THAT HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP
IS ACTUALLY A NATIONAL SHAME.
DURING A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION,
CAMPAIGN OFFICIALS FOR A
PARTICULAR CANDIDATE COULD DRUM
UP THAT THIS IS SOMEHOW RUSSIA
DISINFORMATION. NO, IT WASN'T.
NOW THAT WE KNOW THAT, WHY
AREN'T HEADS ROLLING? YOU
VIOLATED PROHIBITIONS AGAINST
PARTICIPATING IN PRESIDENTIAL
POLITICS. IT'S AMAZING TO ME
THAT THEY DON'T GET THE
FUNDAMENTAL , AND THE
FUNDAMENTAL IS, WHEN THE
CITIZENS NO LONGER TRUST THEIR
GOVERNMENT , WHEN YOU THINK
SOMETHING IS HAPPENING, NOT
BECAUSE SOMEBODY VIOLATED THE
LAW, BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE ON TH
WRONG POLITICAL SIDE, THAT THES
THINGS ARE HAPPENING THAT WAY,
THEN YOU LOSE FAITH IN THE
GOVERNMENT . WE CAN'T GET THAT
BACK. YOU CAN'T GET THAT BACK.
ONCE YOU LOSE THAT TRUST. THAT
IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT IN
AMERICA TODAY. DO YOU TRUST THE
F.B.I.? DO YOU TRUST THE JUSTIC
DEPARTMENT? DO YOU TRUST OUR
CURRENT SECRETARY OF STATE? HE
WAS A CAMPAIGN OFFICIAL THAT
MADE THAT TALKING POINT ABOUT A
LAPTOP. DO YOU TRUST WHAT THEY
ARE GOING TO SAY TO YOU NOW? D
YOU TRUST THE NEWS MEDIA NOW?
THEY ARE THE ONES THAT QUASH TO
THE STORY, DO YOU TRUST THEM?
YOU LIED TO ME ONCE, ARE YOU
LYING NOW? THESE THINGS ARE
FUNDAMENTAL TO OUR CULTURE . AR
YOU DESTROYING IT FOR A
SHORT-TERM POLITICAL VICTORY ?
ARE YOU DESTROYING IT FOR SOME
KIND OF IDEOLOGICAL REASON?
PLEASE STOP. WE NEED TO BE ABLE
> STAY CONNECTED WITH CBN
NEWS ALL DAY ACROSS OUR
PLATFORMS.
> FIVE CURRENT MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS ARE ORDAINED MINISTERS
THREE IN THE HOUSE AND TWO IN
THE SENATE. DEMOCRATIC SENATOR
RAPHAEL WARNOCK IS ONE OF THE.
HE GOES BACK TO ATLANTA EVERY
SUNDAY TO PREACH AT HIS HISTORI
CHURCH. WE TRAVELED TO GEORGIA
TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT HOW HIS
FAITH INFLUENCES HIS POLITICS.
Reporter: IT'S EASTER SUNDAY
AT EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH IN
ATLANTA. THE SAME VIEWS FOR
WITNESS THE SERMONS BY MARTIN
LUTHER KING AS HE LED THE CIVIL
RIGHTS MOVEMENT. THE CHURCH IS
CLOSE TO POLITICS ONCE AGAIN AS
A SENIOR PASTOR IS ALSO THE
JUNIOR SENATOR FROM GEORGIA.
FROM THE PULPIT TO THE PLOW
FIELDS OF RURAL GEORGIA, RAPHAE
WARNOCK IS ATTEMPTING TO BALANC
HIS FIRST FULL TERM IN THE
SENATE.
SOMEONE MIGHT ASK, WHY WOULD
THE FUTURE GET INVOLVED IN
SOMETHING IS MISSING HIS
POLITICS? I AM A PATRIOT. I LOV
AMERICA. ONLY IN AMERICA
STORY POSSIBLE. YOU ARE LOOKING
AT A KID WHO GREW UP IN PUBLIC
HOUSING. I SERVED IN THE UNITED
STATES SENATE.
Reporter: HE IS BATTLE
TESTED. HIS RECENT REELECTION
VICTORY OVER OPPONENT HERSCHEL
WALKER NEEDED A SPECIAL RUNOFF
ELECTION TO DECIDE THE OUTCOME.
IT WAS THE SECOND TIME WARNOCK
ONE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN
THE PAST TWO ELECTION CYCLES. H
WON A SPECIAL ELECTION IN 2020
TO BECOME THE FIRST BLACK
SENATOR FROM GEORGIA, AND THE
FIRST DEMOCRAT ELECTED TO
REPRESENT THE STATE IN THE
SENATE IN 20 YEARS. WHILE THE
POLITICAL VICTORIES RAISED HIS
PROFILE, GOVERNMENT WASN'T
ALWAYS PART OF THE PLAN.
YOU FEED THE HUNGRY, WHEN
YOU CLOSE THOSE WERE DECADES,
WHEN YOU VISIT THOSE WHO ARE
SICK AND IMPRISONED. AND SO,
THAT IS THE WORK I TRIED TO DO
AS A PASTOR. WHAT I FOUND OUT I
THAT OVER TIME, MY MINISTRY AT
EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH TOOK M
INTO THE PUBLIC SQUARE.
Reporter: HE SAYS HIS FAITH
DRIVES HIM WHEN ADVOCATING FOR
THINGS LIKE RACIAL JUSTICE,
REDUCING GUN VIOLENCE.
AS A PASTOR, I PRAY FOR THOS
AFFECTED BY THIS TRAGEDY, BUT I
HASTEN TO SAY THAT THOUGHTS AN
PRAYERS ARE NOT ENOUGH.
Reporter: AND EXPANDING
HEALTHCARE. HE HELPED GET THE
PRICE OF INSULIN CAPPED AT $35
FOR MEDICARE RECIPIENTS AS PART
OF THE INFLATION REDUCTION ACT
PASSED LAST YEAR. HE IS NOW
TRYING TO EXTEND THAT TO PEOPLE
WITH PRIVATE INSURANCE. WARNOC
AND OKLAHOMA REPUBLICAN SENATOR
JAMES LANKFORD ARE THE ONLY TWO
ORDAINED MINISTERS IN THE
SENATE. WHILE SCRIPTURES A
READER FROM THE SAME BOOK, THE
PARTISAN DIVIDES REMAIN ON A
VARIETY OF TOPICS, NONE MORE
EVIDENCE IN THE ISSUE OF
ABORTION. LANKFORD IS
OUTSPOKENLY PRO-LIFE WHILE
WARNOCK LABELS HIMSELF AS A
PRO-CHOICE PASTOR. YOU HAVE NO
BEEN SHY ABOUT SAYING YOU ARE A
PRO-CHOICE PASTOR. YOU KNOW TO
SOME CHRISTIANS OUT THERE ,
THERE PROBABLY SITTING AT HOME,
THIS GUY IS NOT A REAL
CHRISTIAN.
MY FAITH IS SO BASIC TO WHO
AM. I DON'T FEEL THE NEED TO
DEFEND MY CHRISTIAN IDENTITY.
AM A MAN OF FAITH. I LOVE THE
LORD WITH ALL MY HEART, MY SOUL
MY MIND. CHRISTIANS HAVE A
WHOLE RANGE OF DIFFERENCES ON A
WHOLE RANGE OF ISSUES. FOR ME,
THE ACID TEST OF FAITH IS THE
DEPTH OF YOUR COMMITMENT TO THE
MOST MARGINALIZED MEMBERS OF TH
HUMAN FAMILY.
Reporter: TO FIND IT HARD, A
A PASTOR, TO FIND A BIBLICAL
DEFENSE FOR BEING PRO-CHOICE?
MY STANCE AS A PRO-CHOICE
PASTOR IS NOT IN SPITE OF MY
CHRISTIAN IDENTITY, IT IS
BECAUSE OF MY CHRISTIAN
IDENTITY. I BELIEVE IN HUMAN
AGENCY AND CHOICE. LOOK, I
HAVE A DEEP REVERENCE FOR LIFE
, PROFOUND REVERENCE FOR LIFE.
AND I HAVE A RESPECT FOR CHOICE
Reporter: TO WARNOCK, HAVING
THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE ALSO MEAN
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE
SUPPORTING WOMEN AND FAMILIES
FACED WITH DIFFICULT DECISIONS
ON UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES. HE
SPONSORED A BILL WAS SENATOR
MARCO RUBIO AIMED AT IMPROVING
MATERNAL MORTALITY RATES . HE
HAS ADVOCATED FOR EXPANDING THE
CHILD TAX CREDIT THAT IS LOW
INCOME FAMILIES.
SENATOR RUBIO AND I DON'T
AGREE ON THE REPRODUCTIVE CHOIC
QUESTION, BUT IF THE ISSUE IS
LIFE, WHAT WE BOTH RECOGNIZE IS
THAT THE MATERNAL MORTALITY
RATE OF THIS COUNTRY IS
CRIMINALLY HIGH. IT IS SOMETHIN
WE CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING
ABOUT.
Reporter: A MEMBER OF YOUR
CONGREGATION CAME UP TO YOU AND
SAID, I LIKE YOU A LOT, I LIKE
WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, BUT PSAL
139 16, I KNEW YOU BEFORE YOU
WERE BORN. I JUST CAN'T GET
WITH YOU ON THAT.
THE QUESTION IS, WHOSE CHOIC
IS IT? I STILL BELIEVE THAT A
PATIENT ROOM IS TOO SMALL A
SPACE FOR THE UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT. AS WE SEE THIS
DEBATE PLAY OUT RIGHT NOW,
THERE IS DIVERSITY ON THAT
POINT, EVEN INSIDE OF THE
EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY
Reporter: WARNOCK HAS PROVEN
SO FAR THAT HIS BRAND OF SERMON
AND SERVICE CAN WIN IN A NEW
POLITICAL BATTLEGROUND IN
GEORGIA. IT IS NOT TOO EARLY
FOR PUNDITS TO TOSS HIS NAME
AROUND WHEN TALKING ABOUT FUTUR
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES, BUT IT
IS TOO EARLY FOR HIM TO CONSIDE
IT RIGHT NOW. COULD A PASTOR BE
IN THE WHITE HOUSE?
I THINK SO. BUT WE NEED ALL
KINDS OF PEOPLE SERVING IN ALL
KINDS OF PLACES. FOR RIGHT NOW,
I FOCUSED ON SERVING THE PEOPLE
OF GEORGIA . EVERY FEW DAYS,
STILL PINCH MYSELF, I CAN'T
BELIEVE I GET TO DO THIS WORK.
AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SERVING
THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA FOR A LON
TIME.
THAT'S AN INSIDE LOOK AT
SENATOR WARNOCK, PROBABLY A LOO
YOU WON'T SEE ON ANY OTHER
PROGRAM. I, OBVIOUSLY, DISAGRE
WITH HIM ON PRO-LIFE. MY
POSITION IS QUITE CLEAR . FROM
THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD,
BEFORE GOD EVEN CREATED THE
FOUNDATION , HE THOUGHT OF GOOD
THINGS FOR YOU AND ME TO DO. AN
WHEN WE TERMINATE LIFE OR CUT
OFF THE GOOD THINGS, WE'RE
CUTTING OFF GOD'S DREAM FOR US.
LET'S HAVE A CULTURE WHERE WE
ENCOURAGE MOTHERHOOD. LET'S HAV
A CULTURE WHERE WE CELEBRATE IT
WHERE WE SUPPORT IT, WHERE WE
PROVIDE THE FINANCES FOR IT,
WHERE WE HELP WOMEN IN THEIR
TIME OF NEED , AND WE HELP THEM
NOT JUST IN THEIR PREGNANCY, BU
KNEW HIS AUDIOBOOK, THE SHEPHER
KING. AVAILABLE NOW.
> DJ AND BRANDYN KEPT PAYING
THEIR BILLS, BUT THEY COULD NOT
MAKE A DENT IN THEIR DEBT.
BEFORE LONG, THEY WERE $137,000
IN THE RED. HERE IS HOW THEY
MANAGED TO PAY IT ALL OFF IN
JUST FIVE YEARS.
Reporter: BEFORE THEY
MARRIED, BRANDYN AND DJ DIDN'T
THINK TWICE ABOUT THE SPENDING
OR THEIR DEBT.
WE WERE LOOKING MORE AT THE
WORLD AROUND US AND WHAT OUR
IMAGE WOULD LOOK LIKE IF WE HAD
SOMETHING AT A HIGHER STATUS. I
WANTED TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF CAR
I HAVE TO HAVE THE SHOES WHEN
THEY RELEASE.
I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE A
BUDGET. AS LONG AS I CAN MAKE
PAYMENTS, NO LATE FEES, I AM
GOOD. IF AN EMERGENCY POPPED UP
CREDIT CARDS WERE MY SAVINGS.
Reporter: DURING HER SINGLE
YEARS AND AFTER BECOMING A
CHRISTIAN, BRANDYN TOOK A CLASS
AT CHURCH ON MONEY MANAGEMENT.
SHE TRIED TO PRACTICE THE
BUDGETING PRINCIPLES SHE
LEARNED, BUT WASN'T CONSISTENT
AND CONTINUE TO SPEND.
MEANWHILE, SHE BEGAN KHADIJAH
HER CHURCH.
I NEEDED TO, I HAD TO. OVER
THE YEARS, AS I CHANGED MY
MINDSET, IT BECAME BUT I WANT T
HELP OTHERS TO SERVE OTHERS .
Reporter: DJ ALSO GAVE THE
CHURCH AND
BUT HE STILL SPENT WITHOUT
CONCERN FOR THE FUTURE. WHEN
THEY TIED THE KNOT, NOTHING
CHANGED. THEY MADE EXPENSIVE
PURCHASES FOR THEIR LIFE
TOGETHER AND THEIR JOINT DEBT
GREW. SOON THEY DECIDED TO BUY
BIGGER HOME FOR THEIR EXPANDING
FAMILY AND WERE SHOCKED TO SEE
HOW MUCH INTEREST THEY WOULD BE
CHARGED ON THE LOAN. THAT
PROMPTED THEM TO FINALLY FACE
THEIR OVERSPENDING AND THE
INTEREST ON THE CONSUMER DEBT
AND STUDENT LOANS.
I WAS LIKE, DO YOU REALIZE W
PAY EVERY YEAR OF THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS IN INTEREST FOR
SOMETHING THAT IS LIKE A CREDIT
CARD THAT IS $2000, BUT WE PAY
$150 EVERY MONTH AND THE
PAYMENT IS $200. NOT MAKING ANY
PROGRESS AT ALL.
Reporter: THEY DECIDED IT WA
TIME TO GET A HANDLE ON THE WAY
THEY MANAGE MONEY. THEY CUT
THEIR CREDIT CARDS AND PLEDGED
TO PAY OFF THEIR TOTAL DEBT OF
$137,000. TO DO SO, BRANDYN, V
OF A LARGE NONPROFIT, TOOK A JO
IN WAITRESSING. DJ WAS AN
ACCOUNTANT AND GOT A SECOND JOB
TOO.
WHATEVER WE MADE, IT IS GOIN
BACK TO OUR DEBT , TACKLING IT
FROM THE SMALLEST TO THE
LARGEST.
Reporter: AT ONE POINT WHILE
PAYING DOWN THEIR DEBT, BRANDYN
CHOSE TO STOP TITHING FROM HER
INCOME.
IT WAS LIKE, YOU REALLY NEED
THAT MONEY TO PAY TOWARDS THE
DEBT. I STOPPED TRUSTING . I
TOOK IT BACK. I KNEW WHAT I WAS
DOING WAS WRONG. IT AIN'T ME UP
INSIDE SPIRITUALLY.
Reporter: AFTER YEAR OF NOT
TITHING, BRANDYN SAYS GOD SPOKE
TO HER.
A PRAYER TIME, I HEARD GOD,
TRUST ME. I BROUGHT YOU THIS
FAR, I'M NOT GOING TO LEAVE YOU
YOU DON'T NEED TO PAUSE YOUR
TITHING. CONTINUE TO GIVE A PAY
OFF YOUR DEBT. IT CAN BE DONE.
WE DID A LOT OF
SOUL-SEARCHING. PART OF WHAT
OUR JOURNEY WAS FOCUSED ON IS
GOD'S GUIDANCE. WE STARTED
LOOKING AT IT MORE SPIRITUALLY.
WE REALLY HAVE TO HUMBLE
OURSELVES.
Reporter: BRANDYN STARTED
TITHING AND THEY WATCHED WHAT
THEY SPENT WHILE CONTINUING TO
WORK OFF THEIR DEBT.
I STARTED TO PREFER THE
FEELING OF BEING DEBT-FREE THA
MEAN SOMETHING FOR MY IMAGE. ON
MATERIAL THING MAKES ME WANT
ANOTHER MATERIAL FOR GETTING RI
OF ONE DEBT DOES NOT MAYBE ONE
ANOTHER DEBT, IT WAS GIVING ME
ENCOURAGEMENT. MAKE ME WANT TO
PAY OFF ANOTHER DEBT.
Reporter: IN FIVE YEARS, THE
PAID OFF ALL $137,000 OF THEIR
DEBT. THEY SAY THE PROCESS
CHANGE THEIR PERSPECTIVE ON
MONEY AND GOD.
WE LEARNED HOW TO TAKE HER
HANDS OFF ANY AND EVERY
SITUATION. TRUST IN THE LORD,
TRUSTING HIM IN MY FINANCES, MY
MARRIAGE, MY CHILDREN.
I AM THE MAN I WAS CALLED TO
BE. THE FATHER. WE WOULD NOT
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS
WITHOUT GOD'S GRACE.
Reporter: TODAY THEY ARE
COMMITTED TO BUDGETING AND
STAYING OUT OF DEBT. THEY
ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO MANAGE MONE
GOD'S WAY.
NOT ONLY ARE WE CALLED TO BE
BETTER STEWARDS WITH OUR
FINANCES. GIVE A LITTLE MORE.
DEDICATE YOURSELF TO BECOMIN
MORE DISCIPLINED TO YOUR FAITH
AND DEDICATED AND DISCIPLINED T
YOUR BUDGET.
I AM OBEDIENT TO THE WORD OF
GOD. I TRY TO TEACH MY CHILDREN
THE SAME THING, WHETHER IT IS
THERE TITHING AND OFFERING ,
TRULY TRUST HIM. FOLLOW HIS
GUIDELINES WHEN IT COMES TO
THESE THINGS, AND HE WILL BE
BLESSED.
AND HE WILL MAKE A WAY FOR
YOU. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BE
OBEDIENT TO WHAT HE TELLS YOU T
DO. WHEN HE READS THESE THINGS
IN THE BIBLE, WHEN YOU READ IN
THE NEW TESTAMENT, JESUS CANNO
BE CLEAR, GIVE IT A WILL BE
GIVEN UNTO YOU. HERE IT IS FROM
FIRST TIMOTHY, TELL THOSE WHO
ARE RICH NOT TO BE PROUD, NOT T
TRUST IN THEIR MONEY, WHICH WIL
SOON BE GONE, BUT PRIDE AND TR
SHOULD BE IN THE LIVING GOD, WH

MARRY AGAINST HER WILL.
MY HUSBAND WAS VERY ABUSIVE.
I WENT BACK TO MY PARENTS AND
TOLD THEM I COULDN'T STAY
BECAUSE HE BEAT ME OFTEN. I
HAVE SCARS FROM WHAT IS ABUSE

> SHE COULD SEE HER BABIES
TEETH FROM THE INSIDE ON THE
OUTSIDE. THAT IS BECAUSE HER
CHILD WAS BORN WITH A SEVERE
CLEFT LIP. IT WOULD TAKE 10
YEARS TO RAISE THE MONEY THAT
THEY NEEDED TO HAVE THE SURGERY

SHE WAS PREGNANT, SHE STARTED
KNITTING A SWEATER.
I PUT ALL MY LOVE INTO EVERY
STAGE OF THAT SWEATER.

GOT WORSE.
SHE COULDN'T EAT MUCH. SHE
WAS MALNOURISHED AND WEAK. MY
POOR LITTLE GIRL.
Reporter: THEY TRIED TO
PROTECT TRAN40 AND HIT HER FACE

I THINK THE WORLD IS VERY
UNFRIENDLY. PEOPLE WHISPERED
BEHIND HER BACK. I WAS AFRAID
THAT WHEN SHE GREW UP PEOPLE
WOULD BULLY HER EVEN MORE AND
NO MAN WOULD WANT A GIRL WITH A
CLEFT LIP AND PALATE.
Reporter: THEY GOT THEIR
HOPES UP WHEN THEY SAW AN
ADVERTISEMENT ABOUT CLEFT LIP
SURGERY. THEN THEY HEARD HOW
MUCH IT WOULD COST.
IT WOULD TAKE 10 YEARS TO
RAISE THE MONEY. I DIDN'T KNOW
WHERE TO GET SO MUCH MONEY. IT
WAS A LOT OF PRESSURE.
WE WOULD GO BANKRUPT AND BE
HOMELESS.

SAVE ANYWAY. THEN A FRIEND TOLD

> IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT THE
CHRISTIAN LIFE IS NOT JUST
DIFFICULT, IT'S NEARLY
IMPOSSIBLE. WITHOUT THE POWER O
THE HOLY SPIRIT. ACCORDING TO
CHARISMA STEPHEN STRANG, NEVER
HAS THAT STATEMENT BEEN TRUER
THAN TODAY.
Reporter: FOUNDER AND CEO OF
CHARISMA MEDIA, STEPHEN STRANG,
SAYS THERE IS ONLY ONE POWER BI
ENOUGH TO HELP YOU SURVIVE AND
THRIVE IN THIS CRAZY WORLD.
AFTER COVERING HOW GOD IS MOVIN
AROUND THE WORLD FOR MORE THAN
FOUR DECADES AS A JOURNALIST,
STEPHEN HAS FIRST-HAND
EXPERIENCE OF HOW THE HOLY
SPIRIT HAS LED HIM ON A
REMARKABLE JOURNEY OF FAITH AND
GIVEN HIM A MEANINGFUL LIFE. I
HIS BOOK, SPIRIT LED LIVING IN
AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD , HE
REMINDS US THAT, NO MATTER WHAT
HAPPENS IN THE WORLD, THE HOLY
SPIRIT EMPOWERS US TO OVERCOME.
STEPHEN STRANG IS HERE WITH
US. WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW.
THANK YOU. IT'S ALWAYS GOOD
TO BE WITH YOU.
AND WELCOME BACK WITH YOUR
NEW BOOK, SPIRIT LED LIVING IN
AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD . HAVE WE
GOTTEN MORE COMFORTABLE AS A
CULTURE NOW TALKING ABOUT THE
THIRD PERSON OF THE TRINITY, TH
HOLY SPIRIT, OR IS HE STILL
MYSTERIOUS TO A LARGE NUMBER OF
CHRISTIANS?
OF COURSE, HE IS MYSTERIOUS
TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT IT
DOESN'T MATTER. WE HAVE TO
DEPEND ON THE HOLY SPIRIT TO
SURVIVE AS INDIVIDUALS. I SEE A
LOT OF CHRISTIANS GETTING
DISCOURAGED OR FEELING THE OTHE
SIDE IS WINNING. IT'S NOT. THER
HAS ALWAYS BEEN A NEED FOR THE
HOLY SPIRIT, ALL THE WAY BACK T
THE BEGINNING OF THE CHURCH.
-- THE THING IS, GOD PUT US
HERE NOW. WE HAVE NO CHOICE. S
HOW ARE WE GOING TO SURVIVE AND
MAKE A DIFFERENCE? IN A WAY, I
HAVE BEEN WRITING ABOUT THIS MY
WHOLE CAREER. I JUST THOUGHT,
PEOPLE ARE DISCOURAGED. I WANTE
THEM TO HAVE HOPE. THE THING IS
WE CAN SURVIVE. WE CAN SURVIVE
WE CAN DEPEND ON THE HOLY
SPIRIT. WE CAN EXPERIENCE THE
GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT, THE FRUIT
OF THE SPIRIT. WE CAN HAVE POWE
TO OVERCOME TRIALS. WE CAN
OVERCOME THE ATTACK BY SATAN AN
WHAT WE CALL DELIVERANCE. ALL O
THIS IS FOR THE ASKING, BUT
AFTER A WHILE, IT IS LIKE, BEE
THERE, DONE THAT. OR IT DOESN'T
SEEM TO WORK. I THINK IT IS AN
ATTACK OF SATAN. IT IS SPIRITUA
WARFARE. PAUL SAID, YOU KNOW,
YOU KNOW THIS WELL, WE REST NOT
AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT
AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES AND
POWERS. I TRIED TO REMIND PEOPL
WHAT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS AND
MAYBE HELP THEM UNDERSTAND AND
REALIZE THAT THERE IS REALLY
SOMETHING MORE THAT THEY CAN
HAVE THAN JUST A DISMAL
CHRISTIAN LIFE , AND WORSE THAN
THAT, SOME EVANGELICAL
CHRISTIANS ARE GOING WOKE,
THINKING IT IS THE NEW THING.
WE NEED TO BE MORE POWERFUL THA
EVER. WE NEED TO BELIEVE IN
MIRACLES AND HEALING AND ALL O
THESE THINGS. YOU WOULD KNOW
THAT. THIS MINISTRY WAS BUILT O
THAT. IT IS TIME TO GET BACK T
BASICS, AND THAT IS WHY I WROTE
THIS BOOK.
I LOVE ONE OF THE IMAGES YOU
USE, HAVING THE HOLY SPIRIT IN
YOUR LIFE IS LIKE WEARING SCUBA
GEAR. IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN
SCUBA DIVING OR SNORKELING, YOU
KNOW YOU NEVER TAKE THE MASK
OFF. YOU CAN'T, IF YOU DO, YOU
WILL DIE. WHY IS THAT IMAGE SO
POWERFUL FOR TODAY.
IT HELPS US TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT IS GOING ON. I HAVE TO GIV
CREDIT TO FRED PRICE, I HEARD
HIM SAY THAT YEARS AGO. THE
SCUBA GEAR HELPS YOU TO EXIST I
A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT THAT COUL
KILL YOU. THAT IS WHAT THE
WORLD IS LIKE. THE WORLD IN THE
CULTURE AND EVERYTHING WILL KIL
YOU IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE HOLY
SPIRIT WITH YOU. THE ANALOGY
ONLY GOES SO FAR. THE HOLY
SPIRIT -- BUT THE IDEA WE CAN
SURVIVE IN A HOSTILE
ENVIRONMENT, AND WE CAN , EVEN
WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON. I
MEAN, WATCHING THE SHOW SHOWS
YOU HOW UPSIDE DOWN THE WORLD
IS. YOU CAN GET DISCOURAGED
WATCHING THE NEWS. AFTERWHILE,
YOUR HEAD IS IN THE SAND. IT
GOES FROM BAD TO WORST. BUT WE
CAN OVERCOME THAT. IT IS AS EAS
AS REACHING OUT TO THOSE
SPIRITS, EXPERIENCING THE POWE
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, EXPERIENCE
THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO
TALK ABOUT THAT. THERE IS
SOMETHING POWERFUL ABOUT THE
HOLY SPIRIT, THE THIRD PERSON O
THE GOD HEAD WHO EMPOWERS US.
IT IS WHAT JESUS SAID HE WOULD
SEND POWER, HE WOULD SEND A
COMFORTER. IT IS THERE FOR THE
ASKING. MOST PEOPLE JUST DON'T
ASPECT
WE CAN FILL OUR TANKS, BUT
WE CAN FILL OURSELVES. LOVE IS
THE BREATH OF GOD. BREATHE ON
ME, FILL ME AGAIN. IT IS A
BREATH OF GOD THAT MADE US
LIVING SOULS TO BEGIN WITH. ON
OF THE THINGS YOU EMPHASIZE IN
THE BOOK IS THE IMPORTANCE OF
HEARING GOD AND HEARING THE
VOICE OF GOD. I CAN QUOTE THE
SCRIPTURE, MY SHEEP HEAR MY
VOICE, BUT FOR MANY PEOPLE
TODAY, WHEN YOU START TALKING
ABOUT GOD TOLD ME, THEY THINK
YOU ARE HEARING VOICES OR
SOMETHING CRAZY GOING ON. WHAT
WOULD YOU ANSWER TO THEM? HOW
EASY IT IS A TO HEAR THE VOICE
OF THE LORD?
IF YOU WALK WITH GOD, YOU DO
HEAR HIS VOICE. THE LORD SPEAKS
TO US ALL THE TIME. IN FACT, IF
YOU HAVE A DECISION TO DO RIGHT
OR WRONG, OR MAYBE COMPROMISE I
SOME WAY, OR BE PASSIVE WHEN YO
SHOULD NOT BE, IT IS THE HOLY
SPIRIT PROMPTING YOU. IF YOU'RE
TRYING TO LIVE WITH THE LORD AN
FOLLOW THE BIBLE, THAT IS THE
LORD SPEAKING. BUT MOST PEOPLE
NEVER STOP. IF WE PRAY , WHEN W
PRAY, WE ASKED THE LORD FOR A
LOT OF THINGS AND SAY AMEN, AND
IT'S OVER. BUT ACTUALLY, WE NEE
TO HEAR FROM GOD. PEOPLE HAVE
HELPED PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND. WE
HAVE TO COMMUNE WITH GOD.
BECAUSE I'M A JOURNALIST, I
CAUGHT A LOT OF PEOPLE. THEIR
STORIES AND THEIR ON SOMEONE
WHO HEARD FROM THE LORD TO REAC
OUT TO HIS UNSAVED BROTHER WHO
WAS CRYING OUT TO GOD . GOD OF
YOUR REAL, SPEAK TO ME THROUGH
MY BROTHER? IT WAS A GIFT TO TH
SPIRIT. AND KENNETH HAGAN.
THERE IS A WHOLE SECTION IN
THEIR OF TEACHING OF HOW HE
LEARNED TO HEAR THAT INNER VOIC
THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT .
THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN BE OUR
FRIEND, OUR COMFORTER. HE CAN B
WITH US ALL DAY LONG, BUT MOST
OF US DON'T HEAR IT. MOST
PASTORS DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. A
BOOK LIKE THIS ALLOWS YOU,
WHETHER YOU ARE TAUGHT IT IN
YOUR CHURCH OR NOT, TO DIVE IN.
IS NOT SO MUCH WHAT I SAY, I
QUOTE FROM OTHER PEOPLE AND THE
WORD OF GOD. ALL OF THIS IS IN
THE BIBLE. IT IS ALL THEY ARE.
BUT MOST OF US DON'T CONNECTTHE
DOTS OR DON'T UNDERSTAND THE
SCRIPTURES. I HOPE MY BOOK WILL
HELP PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND, TO G
DEEPER. THERE IS A HUNGER. THER
IS A DEEP HUNGER. IN FACT, THE
WAY THE WORLD IS, IT IS FORCING
US TO REACH OUT FOR GOD IN A WA
THAT, IF EVERYTHING WAS GOING
PERFECT, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO
THIS. IN A WAY, IT'S A GOOD
THING. GOD IS DOING SOMETHING
NEW. I SENSE THERE IS SOMETHING
OF THE SPIRIT WELL REALM
HAPPENING. I TALK ABOUT REVIVA
COMING. IN CHRISTIAN CIRCLES,
THAT SOMETIMES IS LIKE A CLICH÷
BUT EVEN PEOPLE LIKE AND OTHER
PROPHESIES A GREAT REVIVAL. IT
IS BELIEVE WE WILL HAVE THE
GREATEST REVIVAL OF ALL TIME. I
PRAY THAT IS THE CASE. WHETHER
THAT HAPPENS OR NOT, EACH OF US
IN OUR OWN LIVES, HAVE TO WALK
WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD. WE'VE
GOT TO BE LED BY THE SPIRIT.
I WILL QUOTE THE APOSTLE
PAUL. THE FINAL END GATHERING O
THE GENTILES. AT THE IT IS
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. THE ENTIR
WORLD IS SEEING IT. WE'RE SEEIN
NEW CHRISTIANS IN NUMBERS THE
CHURCH HAS NEVER SEEN. FOR
SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER HEARD THE
VOICE OR IS SAYING, WELL, HOW
DO I DO IT? WHAT WOULD YOU TELL
THEM? WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP?
FIRST OF ALL, THEY NEED TO
REPENT THEIR SINS. THEY NEED TO
ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO FILL
THEM. THEY NEED TO FORGIVE . TO
NEED TO BE SURE THEY ARE A CLEA
VESEL. AND THEN SAY, LORD,
SPEAK TO ME. I TOLD HIM THE
STORY ABOUT MIKE. EVERY TIME H
IS IN A SITUATION , IN THE BOOK
HE WALKS THROUGH IT. LORD, WHY
DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY TO THIS
PERSON RIGHT NOW? IS THERE
SOMETHING YOU WANT ME TO
MINISTER TO SOMEONE? SHOW ME.
SHOW ME THE SHORTCOMINGS IN MY
LIFE THAT YOU ARE WANTING TO
IMPROVE. THAT IS HOW YOU LEARN.
THERE'S A LOT MORE IN THE
BOOK . IT IS CALLED SPIRIT LED
LIVING IN AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD
IT'S AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE .
THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.
