The 700 Club - May 17, 2023

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 ... Read Transcript

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

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

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

> 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.
