A woman’s massive brain bleed causes doctors to fear the worse. See why a husband holds on to hop on today’s 700 Club. Read Transcript


TODAY ON "THE 700 CLUB."

> WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB,

CARS COULD BE PARALYZED,

AIRPLANES COULD WALK FROM THE

SKY AND POWER WOULD VANISH IN

A FLASH. ALL OF THIS IN MORE

DEVASTATION COULD HAPPEN IF THE

U.S. IS HIT WITH AN

ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE BAR.

ANALYSTS WARN SUCH A STRIKE

AS POSSIBLE AND PERHAPS EVEN

LIKELY. JERRY LAYNE EXPLAINS

WHAT THESE ATTACKS ARE AND HOW

THE U.S. SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR

THEM.

Reporter: AND ELECTROMAGNET:

PULSE BAR IS A NUCLEAR WEAPON

DESIGNED TO EXPLODE HIGH UP IN

THE ATMOSPHERE AND KNOCKOUT THE

COUNTRY'S ELECTRICAL POWER

GRID.

IT FEEDS INTO OUR ELECTRICAL

WIRING AND STARTS SHORTING OUT

THE ENTIRE POWER GRID. IF IT

WAS FEEDING THE UNITED STATES,

IT WOULD SHUT OUR GRID DOWN

PERMANENTLY.

Reporter: AND NEW YORK TIMES

BEST-SELLING AUTHOR AND EXPERT

ON EMP'S, HIS POLITICAL

THRILLER ABOUT AN AFTERMATH OF

SUCH AN ATTACK, MOST PEOPLE

ASSUME RUSSIA OR CHINA WOULD BE

THE COUNTRIES MOST LIKELY TO

TARGET THE UNITED STATES WITH

AN EMP . FIVE YEARS BEFORE HIS

DEATH, HE WARNED THAT THE

LAUNCH OF A HIGH ALTITUDE

BALLISTIC MISSILE WAS A TEST

OF CAPABILITIES AGAINST THE

UNITED STATES.

WE HAVE JAPANESE AND SOUTH

KOREAN MILITARY BOTH DESCRIBED

AS PRACTICING FOR THE ATTACK

BECAUSE IT WAS FIRST

DELIBERATELY BY THE NORTH

KOREANS WHEN IT WAS ANNOUNCED

ONE KILOMETER.

Reporter: THE HIGHER THE

ALTITUDE OF THE MISSILE, THE

WIDER THE AREA OF DESTRUCTION.

HE EXPLAINED HOW IT WOULD

DEVASTATE AN UNPREPARED UNITED

STATES OF AMERICA.

CARS WOULD BE PARALYZED.

THEIR PLANES WOULD FALL OUT OF

THE SKY. YOU WOULD HAVE GAS

LINE EXPLOSIONS, NUCLEAR

REACTORS , IT WOULD BE A

SERIOUS THREAT TO THE SURVIVAL

OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Reporter: NO ELECTRICITY

MEANS NO PUMPS TO PROVIDE

ENOUGH WATER TO INTEGRATE

IRRIGATE AND GROW CROPS AND

SINCE THERE IS ONLY A 30 DAY

FOOD SUPPLY, 90% OF THE

POPULATION WOULD LIKELY DIE

WITHIN ONE OR TWO YEARS OF THE

EMP ACT. THE LEGISLATION SETS

ASIDE $13 BILLION TO UPGRADE

THE GRID BUT FINDING THE

NEEDED REPLACEMENT PARTS MAY BE

DIFFICULT.

ALL OF THOSE SPARE PARTS,

WHERE DO YOU THINK THEY ARE

MADE? CHINA. WE FARMED OUT ALL

OF THE ELECTRICAL GEAR GRID

DECADES AGO.

Reporter: AND THIS PROVED ,

HE SAYS, THAT SOCIETY GOES HE

WANTS THE UNITED STATES CANNOT

SIT BACK AND ASSUME AN EMP

ATTACK WILL NEVER HAPPEN. WHY

DO YOU THINK THIS IS LIKELY OR

EVEN IMMINENT?

AT SOME POINT, SOMEONE IS

GOING TO TRY TO DO THIS. I'M

NOT SAYING TOMORROW BUT AT SOME

POINT, IT WILL HAPPEN.

THESE ARE THINGS STRAIGHT

OUT OF SCIENCE FICTION MOVIES

OR TERRORIST ATTACK WILL BE

SENT WHEN YOU SEE THAT IT WOULD

BE ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING, YOU

JUST WONDER. I GREW UP IN THE

NUCLEAR AGE, I REMEMBER TAKING

THE DRILLS IN GRAMMAR SCHOOL

WHERE WE ALL GET UNDERNEATH THE

DESK AND WE HAD A CHEMISTRY

TEACHER IN HIGH SCHOOL SAY, IF

THERE IS EVER A NUCLEAR ATTACK,

WENT OUTSIDE AND TRY TO CATCH

IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO

BE ALIVE AFTER IT IS ALL DONE.

IT WILL BE ABSOLUTELY

DEVASTATING. WITH THAT, WE HAVE

SEEN THAT THIS MUTUAL

DESTRUCTION, WE HAVEN'T SEEN A

DETONATION IN WARTIME SINCE

WORLD WAR II AND THE TWO BOMBS

THAT WERE ON JAPAN. HOPEFULLY,

WE CAN TRUST ONE ANOTHER THAT

WE WOULD NOT USE THIS KIND OF

TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE IN THIS

MUTUALLY ASSURED DESTRUCTION,

IF THE ENTIRE ECONOMY OF THE

UNITED STATES GOES UNDER , THEN

EVERYBODY IS GOING TO GO WITH

IT.

> IN OTHER NEWS, TENS OF

MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE

FACING SEVERE WEATHER

EVERYTHING FROM EXTREME HEAT TO

FLASH FLOODS. JOHN JESSUP HAS

THAT STORY AND MORE FROM OUR

CBN NEWS IN WASHINGTON.

> THE HEAT HAS BEEN BRUTAL

IN SOME AREAS, WELL OVER 100

TO EVEN 110 DEGREES FOR WEEKS.

ALONG WITH THAT HAVE COME THE

STORMS BRINGING FLASH FLOODS

AND AS IT THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH ,

TORNADOES ARE STRIKING

AMERICA'S HEARTLAND. BRODY

CARTER HAS A LOOK AT THIS

DANGEROUS WEATHERHITTING SO

MUCH OF THE COUNTRY.

NO WAY!

Reporter: CLEANUP UNDERWAY

AFTER AT LEAST 11 CONFIRMED

TOUCHDOWNS REPORTED THROUGHOUT

CHICAGOLAND WEDNESDAY CALLED

LOCALS BY SURPRISE LEAVING CARS

SMASHED AND PARKING LOTS

LITTERED WITH DEBRIS . MULTIPLE

TORNADOES AT THE CHICAGO AREA

AIRPORTS FORCED PASSENGERS TO

SEEK SHELTER LEAVING HUNDREDS

OF FLIGHTS GROUNDED.

YOU COULD HEAR IT ALL BEING

PULLED OFF AND WE LOOKED OUT

THE WINDOW AND THE POWER LINES

FELL DOWN.

Reporter: IN THE SOUTH,

DANGEROUS FLASH FLOODING . ONE

RECEIVED OVER SIX INCHES OF

RAIN. OVERFLOWING RIVERS CLOSED

SEVERAL MAJOR ROADS AND

BUSINESSES IN NEIGHBORING

ALABAMA .

ALL HANDS ON DECK TO GET

SANDBAGS MADE TO SAVE THE

STORE.

Reporter: VERMONT IS ASKING

PRESIDENT BIDEN FOR DISASTER

RELIEF AFTER HISTORIC FLOODING

SWEPT THROUGH THE STATE MONDAY

AND TUESDAY WITH MORE STRONG

STORMS AND UP TO FOUR INCHES OF

RAIN OVER THE WEEKEND.

WE ARE EXPECTING SEVERE

THUNDERSTORMS WHICH COULD BRING

MORE FLASH FLOODING, HAIL AND

EVEN THE THREAT OF A TORNADO.

Reporter: AT LEAST ONE

PERSON IS DEAD FROM VERMONT 'S

FLOODING.

IS FILLED WITH CHEMICALS,

WASTE AND MORE. IT IS SIMPLY

NOT SAFE.

Reporter: BUT THE TOP

THREAT IS NOT TORNADOES,

LIGHTNING OR EVEN HURRICANES,

IT IS THE HEAT WHICH CLAIMS THE

LIVES OF MORE THAN 150

AMERICANS ON AVERAGE EACH YEAR.

THE EXPANDING HEAT WAVES IN

RECENT WEEKS HAVE PROMPTED

ALERTS FOR 150 MILLION PEOPLE

IN 15 STATES FROM FLORIDA TO

CALIFORNIA. MANUAL LABORERS IN

NORTH CAROLINA HAVE CHANGED

THEIR WORK SCHEDULES TO TRY TO

BEAT THE HEAT. IN PHOENIX, 14

CONSECUTIVE DAYS WITH

TEMPERATURES AT 110 DEGREES OR

MORE CLOSING IN ON ITS RECORD

OF 10 DAYS. EL PASO, TEXAS, IS

WAITING FOR NEARLY 30 DAYS OF

ABOVE 100 DEGREES.

THERE WERE SO MANY THAT

HAD A HEAT STROKE.

Reporter: AND THE HEAT IS

ESPECIALLY TOUGH ON THE

HOMELESS. IN CALIFORNIA,

WATER, SHELTER AND SHADE ARE

ANYONE ALL ANYONE CAN DO TO

KEEP COOL .

I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYONE CAN

DO IT.

THERE IS NOT MUCH I CAN DO.

Reporter: THE EXTREME HEAT

CAN BE WORSE DEPENDING ON WHERE

YOU LIVE. URBAN AREAS CAN HOLD

MORE HEAT THAN RURAL

COMMUNITIES AND THE LACK OF AIR

AT NIGHT CAN MAKE HEAT WAVES

EVEN DEADLIER. CODY CARTER,

CBN NEWS.

> WE ARE PRAYING FOR

MUCH-NEEDED RELIEF. HERE IN

WASHINGTON, REPUBLICANS ARE

CRITICIZING THE SECRET SERVICE

AFTER IT CLOSED ITS

INVESTIGATION AFTER A SMALL BAG

OF COCAINE WAS FOUND AT THE

WHITE HOUSE AND THE

SURVEILLANCE VIDEO DID NOT

PROVIDE ANY LEADS. REPUBLICANS

CALL THE CONCLUSION AND FAILURE

WITH KEVIN McCARTHY SAYING

THERE IS NO EQUAL JUSTICE.

ANYTHING GETS TREATED

DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER

AMERICAN AND THAT HAS GOD TO

STOP .

THE WHITE HOUSE HAS SAID

VERY LITTLE ABOUT THE INCIDENT

SAYING THE SECRET SERVICE WOULD

GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.

DIVINE INTERVENTION, WE HAVE

THE BEST OUTCOME WE COULD HAVE

PRAYED FOR OR IMAGINED.

HE CALLED THE MEDICAL STAFF

HIS HEROES SAYING THEY ARE

BONDED FOR LIFE . I AM STILL

STRUCK IN ALL OF THIS MAN'S

TESTIMONY.

WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT YIELD

WAS ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING. I

WAS WATCHING THAT GAME AND THE

NFL BECAME THE NATIONAL FAITH

LEAGUE WHERE PEOPLE WERE

PRAYING IN THE FIELD, IN THE

STANDS, I WAS PRAYING AT HOME,

ANNOUNCERS WERE PRAYING LIVE

ON THE AIR AND IT IS WONDERFUL

> STAY CONNECTED WITH CBN

NEWS ALL DAY ACROSS OUR

PLATFORMS.

> BIBLE TEACHER AND

BEST-SELLING AUTHOR, BETH

MOORE, IS KNOWN WORLDWIDE FOR

WISH AND AN EXTREME CHALLENGE

IN HER MARRIAGE. CHARLIE SPOKE

WITH BETH ABOUT HER PAST AND

> IN HER LATEST BOOK , ALL OF

MY KNOTTED UP MY, BETH MOORE

PORTRAIT WITH UNEXPECTED

TWISTS AND TURNS WITH THE

FINAL DESTINATION BEING GOD'S

ENDURING LOVE AND FAITHFULNESS.

CBN NEWS SAT DOWN WITH THE

PROMINENT CHRISTIAN LEADER AT

HER LIVING PROOF HEADQUARTERS

IN HOUSTON. WE TALKED DAYS

AFTER THE SUDDEN LOSS OF HER

BROTHER, WAYNE, ALONG WITH HER

OTHER SIBLINGS APPEAR ON THE

COVER OF HER NEW BOOK .

I JUST WENT UP TO HIM AND

JUST LOVED HIM SO SO MUCH, WE

ARE REELING . BUT I HAD GOTTEN

HIM AN ADVANCED COPY OF THE

MEMOIR AND IT JUST MOVED ME SO

MUCH TO KNOW THAT HE GOD TO SEE

HIMSELF THROUGH MY EYES IN

THOSE PAGES.

Reporter: THE TITLE, ALL OF

MY KNOTTED UP LIFE, PARALLELS

HER DIFFICULT CHILDHOOD IN

ARKADELPHIA ARKANSAS.

WHY DID YOU FEEL THE NEED

TO FEEL SO VULNERABLE AND SO

OPEN ?

I HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO BE

TRANSPARENT IN WHAT I SHARE BUT

I JUST GET TO BE A LITTLE MORE

SPECIFIC THIS TIME AROUND.

Reporter: OVER THE YEARS,

SHE HAS OFTEN TALKED ABOUT HER

CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE AND FOR

THE FIRST TIME, SHE REVEALS HER

FATHER AS HER ABUSER.

I AM NOT SURE ANYTHING

IMPACTS YOUR LIFE MORE THAN

YOUR PROTECTOR BEING YOUR

PERPETRATOR . IN OTHER WORDS,

MY FATHER WAS THE PERSON ON

EARTH THAT I COULD TRUST THE

LEAST.

Reporter: GROWING UP HAS

SECRETLY WEIGHED HEAVILY UPON

HER .

NORMALLY, THERE IS THE SENSE

OF THREAT LIKE HE WOULD NOT

HAVE SAID , YOU BETTER NOT EVER

TELL THIS. BUT WHAT HE DID SAY

OVER AND OVER WAS THAT WE HAD

TO PROTECT MY MOM BECAUSE SHE

WAS NOT STABLE. SO HE USED

THAT. SO THERE WAS LIKE, I AM

NOT ONLY GOING TO SPLIT UP MY

ENTIRE FAMILY BUT I'M GOING TO

CAUSE MY MOTHER TO HEAL HERSELF

.

Reporter: SHE SAYS HER

FATHER'S ACTIVE PARTICIPATION

IN CHURCH MADE LIVING WITH HER

ABUSE EVEN HARDER .

I GOD TO WATCH HIM JUST

PRANCE UP AND DOWN THOSE AISLES

AND TEACH HIS CLASSES AND

USHER IN THE CONFUSION OF THAT

. THE VERY FACT THAT WITHIN

THOSE WALLS, I BELIEVED MY

SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS OVER

WHAT I WAS SEEING WITH

AUTHORITY AT HOME TO ME IS THE

TESTIMONY OF GOD'S GRACE.

Reporter: A GRACE SHE WOULD

NEED IN AN EVEN GREATER WAY

LATER IN LIFE, IN HER CONSTANT

STRUGGLE WITH THE BAD MEMORIES

.

I DEFINITELY HAD A DEATH

WISH. DEFINITELY ! IT SEEMED TO

ME AT SEVERAL POINTS IN MY

LIFE, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY OUT.

Reporter: THE BIBLE TEACHER

ALSO SHARES ABOUT CHALLENGES

WITH HER HUSBAND'S MENTAL

ILLNESS AND HOW IT HAS SHAPED

HER MARRIAGE OF 45 YEARS.

WHAT HE DEALT WITH WAS VERY

SEVERE PTSD AND BIPOLAR, YOU

NEVER KNEW WHEN IT WAS GOING TO

BE A SUDDEN EPISODE.

Reporter: AS SHE REFLECTED

ON THOSE DARK DAYS, SHE SAW

HOPE AS HER ANCHOR.

I NEVER KNEW WHAT WAS COMING

WHEN THE SUN CAME UP AND

NEITHER DID HE. WE HAD NO IDEA

WHAT THAT THEY WOULD HOLD. IT

MIGHT BE WONDERFUL. IT MIGHT BE

FRIGHTFUL. I GUESS THE BEST

THING THAT HAS COME OUT OF IT

FOR ME AND FOR US , YOU TALK

ABOUT A WOMAN PASTOR.

Reporter: WHILE CREDITING

GOD OR HOLDING HER FAMILY

TOGETHER, SHE QUICKLY POINTS

OUT HOW THERAPY ALSO HELPED

WITH HER HEALING.

SUPPORT IS A NECESSITY BE A

THERAPIST, BE IT A SMALL

GROUP, WHATEVER IT IS BUT

THERE HAS TO BE, THERE IS SUCH

A SENSE OF BEING LOST IN ANY

WAY THAT THERE HAS TO BE A WAY

THAT WE ARE ABLE TO BE AROUND

OTHERS AND COMMUNICATION WITH

OTHERS.

Reporter: SHE HAS ALSO SEEN

HER SHARE OF CONTROVERSY IS.

IN 2016, SHE TWEETED ABOUT THE

SEXUAL ABUSE SCANDAL INVOLVING

DONALD TRUMP. THE BACKLASH

FROM CHURCHES WAS SWIFT. SHE

WRITES IN HER MEMOIR, DAILY I

RECEIVED WORD THAT MY BIBLE

STUDIES WERE BEING PULLED OUT

OF MORE CHURCHES. SOME WERE

BOXED UP AND SENT BACK TO US. I

WAS TOLD SOME OF THEM

BURNED.

IT AFFECTED ME AND MY FAMILY

PROFOUNDLY. THE WHOLE FACE OF

THE MINISTRY CHANGED

DRAMATICALLY.

Reporter: FOR YEARS, HER

TEACHINGS HAD BEEN A FEATURE OF

THE BAPTIST CONVENTION, A

DENOMINATION SHE HAD BEEN A

PART OF FOR HER ENTIRE LIFE. IT

WAS THERE THAT SHE WAS BAPTIZED

AND BEGAN HER LOVE OF

SCRIPTURE. IN 2021, SHE FOUND

HERSELF INCREASINGLY AT ODDS

WITH LEADERSHIP OVER

LEADERSHIP, RACIAL JUSTICE AND

MORE SPECIFICALLY, IT'S

FAILURE TO CARE FOR SEXUAL

ABUSE VICTIMS.

WE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT SOMEHOW

THAT THE RIGHT THING TO DO IS

TO SHELTER THE ABUSER AND TO

THE DEGREE THAT WE HAVE SOMEHOW

DISTORTED SUCH A DOCTRINE OF

GRACE THAT WITHIN ARE NOT

PROTECTING THE ABUSE.

Reporter: SHE EVENTUALLY

DECIDED TO LEAVE .

THAT WAS LIKE A DEATH THAT

WILL PROBABLY TAKE ME A

LIFETIME FOR WHATEVER IS LEFT

TO CONTINUE TO PROCESS. THESE

ARE PEOPLE. I HAVE AND YOU

LOVE VERY MUCH.

BETH, YOU HAVE DEMONSTRATED

FAITHFULNESS TO GOD ,

FORGIVENESS , PERSEVERANCE

THROUGH ALL THAT YOU HAVE

ENDURED. HOW DID YOU TAP INTO

THAT GRACE AND THAT STRENGTH?

AND HOW CHALLENGING HAS IT

BEEN TO MINISTER TO PEOPLE

EVEN WHEN YOU HAD PERSONAL

ISSUES GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE?

I CANNOT GO BACK AND RELIVE

MY LIFE AND MAKE IT THOUSAND

DECISIONS DIFFERENTLY WHICH I

WISH I COULD DO. I CANNOT

REWRITE IT. IT IS WHAT IT IS.

BUT I CAN SEE TO IT THAT THE

GRACE THAT THE LORD HAS POURED

ON ME IS NOT IN VAIN, THAT IS

MY HOPE.

BETH MOORE'S BOOK IS CALLED

"ALL MY KNOTTED UP LIFE." YOU

CAN FIND IT WHEREVER BOOKS ARE

SOLD. IF YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM

TRAUMA , SO MANY OF US HAVE

TRAUMA. LIKE CAN COME THAT YOU

REALLY HARD. PEOPLE THAT YOU

THOUGHT WERE THERE TO PROTECT

YOU, NO, THEY WERE THERE TO

ABUSE YOU. PEOPLE HAVE

PERSECUTED YOU, PEOPLE HAVE

DONE THINGS AND SAID THINGS

ABOUT YOU, BUT HER LIFE BE A

WITNESS TO YOU THAT YES INDEED,

YOU CAN COME THROUGH. YOU CAN

BE AND OVERCOME HER AND A

PRIME EXAMPLE IS JESUS. WAS HE

REJECTED, WAS HE DESPISED?

WAS HE BEATEN? WAS HE

RIDICULED? THE ANSWER IS YES.

AND THAT MAKES HIM OUR SAVIOR

BECAUSE HE IS TOUCHED WITH OUR

INFIRMITY. HE HAS EXPERIENCED

IT ALSO HE KNOWS WHAT YOU HAVE

GONE THROUGH AND HE KNOWS WHAT

YOU ARE GOING THROUGH AND HE

LOVES YOU TENDERLY. AND HE

SAYS TO YOU, YOU CAN HAVE THE

RESURRECTION, YOU CAN BE AND

OVERCOME HER, YOU CAN MAKE IT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAY

TRAUMATIZED, YOU CAN BE

RESURRECTED, TODAY. IF YOU

> ROBIN WAS HANGING BETWEEN

LIFE AND DEATH. TWO WEEKS

AFTER SUFFERING A MASSIVE

BRAIN BLEED, SHE WAS

UNRESPONSIVE. DOCTORS WERE NOT

OPTIMISTIC SHE WOULD EVER

RECOVER . YET, THAT DID NOT

STOP HER HUSBAND FROM HOLDING

ON TO HOPE AND TO A PROMISE

FROM GOD.

WHEN I ARRIVED AND I HAD

THE VOICEMAIL, SHE WAS CRYING

AND SHE SAID, I THINK I AM

HAVING A STROKE. AND I WORK 40

MILES FROM OUR HOME SO I SHOT

OUT OF THE REST BECAUSE I

COULD.

Reporter: GARY OWENS

RECEIVED A FRANTIC PHONE CALL

FROM HIS WIFE WHO WAS

EXPERIENCING AN INTENT

HEADACHE. SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE

LOCAL HOSPITAL AND LIKE

FLIGHTED TO PENNSYLVANIA WHERE

SHE WENT STRAIGHT TO SURGERY.

I WAS PRAYING THE WHOLE WAY.

I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING

ON. ALL THAT I KNEW WAS THAT

WHEN MY WIFE WAS CRYING.

Reporter: THE DOCTOR WAS

ONE OF THE PHYSICIANS WHO

TREATED HER ANEURYSM.

SHE HAD A HEMORRHAGE

RESULTING FROM AN ANEURYSM OF

THE BASILAR ARTERY WHICH IS ONE

OF THE ARTERIES THAT GOES INTO

THE BRAINSTEM. 92% DON'T EVEN

MAKE IT TO THE HOSPITAL. 71%

DON'T SURVIVE.

AFTER THE SURGERY, WHEN I

WENT INTO A ROOM, SHE WAS ON

LIFE SUPPORT AND SHE HAD SO

MANY IDS STICKING OUT OF HER

AND HER HEAD WAS SHAPED RIGHT

OF THE MIDDLE. I TOOK ONE LOOK

AT HER AND I TURNED TO THE WALL

AND I JUST STARTED SOBBING

BECAUSE I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,

THAT IS NOT MY WIFE!

Reporter: FOR SEVERAL DAYS,

HER LIFE HUNG IN THE BALANCE.

HER HUSBAND CALLED FRIENDS AND

FAMILY TO ASK THEM TO PRAY.

THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN FROM

OUR CHURCH. HE SENT ME A TEXT

AND IT WAS FROM OUR

INTERCESSORS WHO SAID THIS IS

NOT UNTO DEATH BUT THIS IS TO

THE GLORY OF GOD. AND I TOOK A

HOLD OF THAT.

ROBIN'S CONDITION INITIALLY

IMPROVED RAPIDLY WHICH SHOCKED

HER DOCTORS .

THIS NURSE CAME UP TO ME AND

SAID GARY, REMEMBER, THIS IS A

21 DAY MARATHON . BUT THIS TIME

YESTERDAY, MY WIFE WAS HANGING

BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH AND NOW

YOU DON'T WANT ME TO GET

EXCITED?

THEN ROBIN HAD A MAJOR

SETBACK AND WAS PUT BACK ON

LIFE-SUPPORT. ONE OF HER

DOCTORS WARNED GARY HOW SERIOUS

IT WAS.

HE SAID TO ME, WE ARE IN NO

WAY OUT OF THE WOODS, YET .

THIS IS OVER TWO WEEKS SINCE

THE INITIAL SURGERY. AND YOU

ARE SAYING WE ARE STILL IN A

LIFE-AND-DEATH SITUATION? HE

SAID, BUT, WE HAVEN'T GIVEN UP

ON HER SO, ONCE AGAIN, I

STARTED TEXTING, PEOPLE

STARTED ONCE AGAIN PRAYING.

Reporter: GARY CONTINUE TO

MAKE THE THREE-HOUR ROUND TRIP

EVERY DAY TO THE HOSPITAL TO BE

BY ROBIN SIDE.

THIS IS AS STRONG OF AN

AUDIBLE VOICE THAT I HAVE EVER

HEARD BUT I HEARD SUCH A

RESOUNDING IN MY SPIRIT, WHOSE

REPORT ARE YOU GOING TO

BELIEVE? AND OUT LOUD I SAID,

I JEWS TO BELIEVE YOUR WORD.

Reporter: THE FAMILY AND

FRIENDS CONTINUE TO PRAY.

ROBIN BEGAN TO RESPOND.

THE NEXT DAY, I WALK INTO A

ROOM AND AS I AM LOOKING AT

HER, SHE IS ACTUALLY BLINKING

HER EYES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN

PROBABLY A WEEK. THE SAME

POSITION WALKS IN AND SAYS HOW

DO YOU THINK YOUR WIFE IS

LOOKING? AND I SAID, SHE IS

LOOKING A LOT BETTER THAN SHE

DID 24 HOURS AGO. AND HE SAID,

YOU KNOW WHAT, I THINK SHE IS

LOOKING BETTER, TOO. ROBIN

THROWS HER RIGHT ARM UP OVER

HER HEAD . THIS POSITION BEGINS

TO CHUCKLE AND HE SAID, OKAY,

NOW SHE IS JUST SHOWING OFF.

Reporter: FOR THE NEXT THREE

MONTHS, ROBIN GRADUALLY

IMPROVED. TODAY, SHE IS FULLY

RECOVERED WITH NO SERIOUS SIDE

EFFECTS.

GOD HAD THE RIGHT PEOPLE

AT THE RIGHT TIME EXACTLY

WHERE THEY NEEDED TO BE IN

ORDER FOR ME TO SURVIVE.

I WAS CONCERNED THAT SHE

MAY PASS AWAY AND I WAS

CONCERNED EVEN MORE THAT SHE

MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET BACK

TO HER NORMAL SELF. KNOWING SHE

IS BACK TO WORK NOW IS QUITE

AMAZING, VERY RARE AND VERY

UNUSUAL FOR SOMEONE TO HAVE

HAD SUCH A SIGNIFICANT LEAD

FROM THIS TYPE OF ANEURYSM TO

COME BACK FROM THIS.

Reporter: THE STATUS

EXPERIENCE HAS TAKEN THEM TO

ANOTHER LEVEL .

MY FAITH HAS JUST EXPLODED

BECAUSE I SAW THE SUPERNATURAL

MIRACULOUS INTERVENTION OF GOD.

I SAW WITH MY OWN EYES MY WIFE

GO FROM DEATH TO LIFE.

HE HEALED THE LEPERS, HE

HEALED THE LADY AND YET, EVEN

GREATER THINGS ARE WE TO DO AS

FOLLOWERS AND BELIEVERS OF

JESUS CHRIST.

THE WORD SAYS HE IS THE SAME

YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER .

AND THAT WHAT HE DID BACK IN

THE FIRST CENTURY , HE IS DOING

IN THIS CENTURY. BUT IT IS

AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE.

I AM AN ORDINARY GIRL. BUT

I SERVE AN EXTRAORDINARY GOD. I

KNOW HE SAVED ME. I KNOW HE

TOUCHED ME. I KNOW HE HEALED

ME. AND I SAY THAT WITH ALL

CONVICTION AND HE CAN HEAL

ANYBODY AT ANY TIME AND HE

DOES.

DID YOU HEAR THAT? ANYBODY

AT ANY TIME. HE WANTS TO HEAL

YOU. HE WANTS TO SHOW HIMSELF

STRONG FOR YOU . WHY? BECAUSE

YOUR HEART IS LOYAL TO HIM.

THAT IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.

THE EYES OF THE LORD GOING TO

AND PRO OVER THE WHOLE EARTH TO

SHOW HIMSELF STRONG. HE WANTS

TO. ISN'T THAT INCREDIBLE? HE

WANTS TO. NOW WHAT IS HE

LOOKING FOR? HE IS LOOKING FOR

FAITH. AND GARY HAS FAITH. HE

SAYS I AM NOT GOING TO BELIEVE

THE REPORT OF THE DOCTOR. WHOSE

REPORT AM I GOING TO BELIEVE? I

AM GOING TO BELIEVE THE REPORT

OF THE LORD. THIS IS WHY THE

BIBLE TEACHES US MEN ARE ALWAYS

TO PRAY AND NOT GIVE UP. NOW,

WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO VERY

GOOD , HERE YOU GOD ROBIN

SAYING, I AM JUST AN ORDINARY

GIRL. SHE DIDN'T DESERVE THAT.

BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS, WHAT IS

OUR RESPONSE? WHAT ARE WE

LOOKING FOR? FOR THE MAN BORN

BLIND, THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS

AT THE QUESTION, WHY DID THIS

HAPPEN? WAS IT SOMETHING HE

DID? WAS IT SOMETHING HIS

PARENTS DID? AND I LOVE THE

ANSWER JESUS GIVES? NEITHER !

THIS HAPPENS THAT THE GLORY OF

THE LORD WOULD BE REVEALED.

USE YOUR GARY SAVE MY FAITH

EXPLODED, THESE ARE THE REASON.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE TROUBLE

AND THE DIFFICULTY AND THEN

YOU SAY I AM GOING TO PRAY

THROUGH AND I AM GOING TO GET

MY BIG THREE, YOUR FAITH WILL

EXPLODE, TOO. AND THAT FAITH

WILL BECOME INFECTIOUS AND

PEOPLE AROUND YOU WILL SHARE IN

IT. THEY WILL SEE MIRACLES IN

THEIR LIFE. THAT IS THE

PURPOSE OF TESTIMONY. THAT IS

WHY WE SHOW YOU THESE WONDERFUL

MIRACULOUS STORIES SO THAT YOU

WILL BE ENCOURAGED. THAT GOD

WILL DO IT FOR YOU . ANYBODY.

ANY TIME. ANYWHERE. YOU CAN

BE A WHOSOEVER. IF ANY OF YOU

ARE SICK, YOU CAN BE THAT. IF

ANY OF YOU ARE SICK, LET HIM

CALL FOR PRAYER AND THE PRAYER

OF FAITH WILL RAISE HIM UP .

NOW WE HAVE GOD SOME OTHER

MIRACLE STORIES AND I WANT TO

ENCOURAGE YOU. YEAH, IT CAN

HAPPEN TO YOU AND THE CAN

HAPPEN RIGHT NOW, IT CAN HAPPEN

TODAY , IT CAN HAPPEN BECAUSE

YOU ARE WATCHING A TV SHOW. IT

IS WONDERFUL WHAT GOD WANTS TO

DO. THERE IS KRISTI FROM

NORWALK CONNECTICUT. SHE WAS

DIAGNOSED WITH PERIODONTAL

DISEASE. SHE COULD NOT EAT CORN

OR PINEAPPLE OR ANYTHING LIKE

THAT. AND SHE DID, HER GUMS

WOULD BLEED AND THE PAIN WAS

EXCRUCIATING. SHE DEPENDED ON

DRY MOUTH LOZENGES JUST TO KEEP

HER MOUTH SOMEWHAT ELEVATED.

WELL, ONE DAY, AS YOU CAN

IMAGINE, SHE WAS EXHAUSTED,

LAYING DOWN, WATCHING THIS

SHOW. SHE WAS SO FATIGUED THAT

HER EYES HAD CLOSED AND SHE WAS

JUST LISTENING. FAITH COMES BY

HEARING. SHE WAS JUST

LISTENING. SHE ALMOST DRIFTED

OFF TO SLEEP AND AN ANGELIC

VOICE SAID, THIS IS FOR YOU .

THEN, TERRY HAD A WORD OF

KNOWLEDGE FOR SOMEONE WITH

PERIODONTAL DISEASE. SHE PUT

HER HAND OVER HER MOUTH AND

BEGAN TO THANK THE LORD FOR

THIS MIRACULOUS HEALING. SHE

WAS TOTALLY HEALED AND CAN EAT

ANYTHING SHE WANTS. AND SHE IS

GRATEFUL. CRYSTAL SPACE HAS

EXPLODED.

I WOULD SAY SO.

> THIS IS ARLENE AND SHE

LIVES IN CANNAE, AND TEXAS. FOR

FOUR YEARS, SHE LIVED IN HAD

FLASHES IN HER RIGHT EYE AND

HER LEFT EYE DEVELOP THE SAME

ISSUE. SHE HAD A DARK LIKE

SPOT OFF TO THE LEFT OF HER

RIGHT EYE AND THE EYE DOCTOR

TOLD HER ABOUT A YEAR AGO THAT

HER RETINA WAS DETACHING AND

THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE

DONE. SHE WOULD GO BLIND. SHE

KEPT TRUSTING IN THE WORD OF

THE LORD THAT SHE WOULD BE

HEALED. GORDON CALLED OUT HER

PROBLEM ON TV AND YOU SAID,

GORDON, SOMEONE HAS MACULAR

DEGENERATION PRIMARILY IN THE

LEFT EYE. IT STARTED WITH

ELBOWS WERE MADE TO BEND,

FINGERS ARE MADE TO MOVE. ALL

OF THESE THINGS, NO ONE WAS

PREORDAINED TO HAVE CANCER.

NO, PARTS ARE MADE TO BE

NORMALLY. BLOOD WAS MADE TO

FLOW NORMALLY . GIVE YOUR LIFE

WHAT JESUS CAME TO DO. SO WITH

THAT THOUGHT, HE IS YOUR

HEALER. HE IS YOUR SAVIOR.

HERE'S YOUR REDEEMER. HE IS

ANSWER YOUR PRAYER . JUST

GIVING YOU SOMETHING.

TWO THINGS. THERE IS

SOMETHING, YOU DON'T HAVE THIS

ALL THE TIME BUT RECENTLY, YOU

HAVE DEVELOPED ALL OF THE

SOURCE IN YOUR MOUTH AND IT IS

SO PAINFUL THAT YOU DON'T EVEN

KNOW WHAT TO DO TO TREAT IT. IT

IS HARD TO SPEAK, HARD TO EAT.

GOD'S HEALING THAT NOW, LIFT

UP YOUR HANDS AND BEGIN TO

THANK HIM. SOMEONE ELSE, I

DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A

BLOODFLOW ISSUE BUT YOUR LIPS

ARE STARTING TO TINGLE ALL THE

TIME, VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. GOD

THE TINGLING WILL GO AWAY AND

YOU ARE HEALED IN JESUS NAME.

THERE IS SOMEONE, YOUR NAME

COLLISION INJURY TO YOUR RIGHT

ANKLE, ABOVE THE ANKLE, RIGHT

LEG AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU

ARE ON A MOTORCYCLE OR A

BICYCLE OR WHAT WAS THE SOURCE

OF IT BUT GOD IS CALLING YOU BY

NAME. HE KNOWS THAT PAIN . HE

JUST HEALED THAT . AND YOU JUST

FELT THAT GO THROUGH IT . THAT

PAIN IS GONE, THAT FUNCTION IS

BACK, GET UP AND DO WHAT YOU

COULD NOT DO BEFORE. GOD HAS

HEALED YOU AND HE WANTS YOU TO

PROCLAIM HIS GLORY AS TO WHAT

HE HAS DONE FOR YOU.

AND THAT GOES FOR THIS NEXT

PERSON, AS WELL. YOU ARE

WEARING A BACK BRACE, I DON'T

KNOW WHY. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT

IS A BONE ISSUE OR YOU HAVE

BEEN IN SOME KIND OF AN

ACCIDENT BUT GOD'S HEALING YOUR

SPINE FOR YOU. RIGHT NOW, YOU

WILL BEGIN TO FEEL THAT WARMTH.

ALL THINGS ARE SET IN ORDER, BE

HEALED IN JESUS NAME.

THERE IS SOMEONE, YOU HEARD

THE TESTIMONY OF THE EYE

PROBLEMS WITH THE RETINA AND

YOU ARE SAYING, PLEASE SAY THAT

SO I AM SAYING IT JUST FOR YOU,

> MOST CHILDREN HIS AGE ARE

GOING TO SCHOOL, KRISHNA HAD

TO GO TO WORK. HE WAS FORCED TO

LEAVE HOME AND DO CHORES FOR

HIS NEIGHBORS BECAUSE HIS

FAMILY COULD NOT AFFORD TO FEED

HIM. EVEN THOUGH HE STRUGGLED

IN LIFE, KRISHNA STILL HAS A

SMILE ON HIS FACE. HE IS AN

INTELLIGENT YOUNG MAN SO IT

WAS HARD FOR HIM WHEN HE HAD TO

DROP OUT OF SCHOOL IN SECOND

GRADE.

ALL OF MY FRIENDS USED TO GO

TO SCHOOL BUT I HAD TO STOP

GOING BECAUSE MY FAMILY COULD

NOT AFFORD IT.

THERE WAS NO WAY WE COULD

AFFORD SCHOOL CLOTHES AND

SUPPLIES FOR CHILDREN. WE

BARELY EARNED ANY MONEY

WORKING IN OTHER PEOPLE'S

FIELDS AND CHOPPING WOOD. WE

WENT DEEPER INTO DEBT OWING

MONEY JUST TO BUY FOOD.

BECAUSE WE CANNOT EVEN AFFORD

TO FEED KRISHNA, HIS FAMILY

SENT HIM TO LIVE AT A NEIGHBORS

HOUSE. HE HAD TO DO HOUSEHOLD

CHORES THERE AND IN RETURN, HE

GOD FOOD AND SHELTER .

I CRIED WHEN I LEFT MY HOUSE

AND MY FAMILY. AND THE PEOPLE I

STAYED WITH WERE NOT NICE TO

ME.

I WAS VERY DEPRESSED AFTER

KRISHNA WENT AWAY BUT I HAD NO

CHOICE BUT TO SEND HIM. I

CRIED SO MANY TIMES.

I USED TO CRY A LOT THINKING

OF MY PARENTS. I ALWAYS WISHED

I COULD LIVE WITH MY OWN

FAMILY AGAIN.

THEN KRISHNA'S MOTHER HEARD

FROM A LOCAL PASTOR ABOUT

ORPHANS PROMISES KEEPING

FAMILIES TOGETHER PROGRAM. SHE

REACHED OUT TO US . WE MET HER

AND HER FAMILY AND HEARD ABOUT

THEIR FINANCIAL STRUGGLES AND

ABOUT KRISHNA . WE FOUND OUT

KRISHNA'S FAMILY HAD ENOUGH

LAND TO HAVE A GREENHOUSE. WE

TAUGHT THEM HOW AND WHAT TO

PLANT AND GIVE THEM EVERYTHING

THEY NEEDED TO GET STARTED.

I HAVE PLANTED TOMATOES,

CHILIES, CORIANDER AND MUCH

MORE. WE SELL THE HARVESTED

TO THE SHOPKEEPER AND EARNED A

LOT OF MONEY THAT WAY. I AM SO

HAPPY FOR ALL THE HELP I

RECEIVED.

Reporter: NOW THAT THE

FAMILY IS EARNING ENOUGH THE

NEED TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES,

KRISHNA HAS COME BACK HOME.

I AM SO HAPPY TO BE BACK IN

MY OWN HOME WITH MY OWN FAMILY.

I GET TO LIVE WITH MY FAMILY

AGAIN AND I AM ALSO GOING TO

SCHOOL.

I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT WE GET

TO LIVE TOGETHER, AGAIN.

I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO

HELPED ME RETURN TO MY FAMILY.

FAMILIES ARE MEANT TO BE

TOGETHER. THAT IS GOD'S PLAN.

THAT IS HOW CHILDREN ARE MEANT

TO BE RAISED, THEY ARE MEANT TO

BE A HEALTHY PLACE FOR THAT TO

HAPPEN. SO OFTEN, POVERTY KEEP

THAT FROM HAPPENING. I DON'T

KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS OR NOT

BUT MANY CHILDREN ARE IN

ORPHANAGE AROUND THE WORLD AT

PARENTS. THEY SIMPLY DON'T HAVE

FAMILIES THAT CAN AFFORD TO

FEED THEM AND AFFORD TO TAKE

CARE OF THEM OR EVEN ALLOW THEM

THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ AND

WRITE. YOU ARE MAKING IT

POSSIBLE ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

IF YOU ARE A 700 CLUB MEMBER,

WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR

THAT. KRISHNA IS JUST ONE

EXAMPLE OF THOUSANDS OF

CHILDREN WHOSE LIVES ARE

FOREVER CHANGED BECAUSE OF YOUR

KINDNESS AND GENEROSITY. WE

WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. YOU

KNOW, IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE,

IT IS HARD FOR ME TO IMAGINE AS

A MOM WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO

SEND ANYONE OF MY CHILDREN

AWAY BECAUSE I COULD NOT TAKE

CARE OF THEM. I LOVE THIS STORY

AND THE JOY THAT IS FELT BY

BOTH KRISHNA AND HIS FAMILY

WHEN HE IS ABLE TO COME BACK

HOME SO THANK YOU. TO BE A 700

CLUB MEMBER IS TO CHANGE LIVES.

DORRIS WALKER'S FATHER WAS

MURDERED RIGHT OF HORIZON. FOR

YEARS, EVERY TIME SHE THOUGHT

ABOUT THAT, SHE SMOKED POT TO

FORGET. SOON, THAT THAT HAVE

IT TURNED INTO A FULL-BLOWN

ADDICTION.

I REMEMBER I RAN OVER TO MY

DAD AND JUST AS I GOD THERE, HE

FELL . AND MY WHOLE WORLD JUST

TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.

Reporter: WHEN DORRIS WALKER

WAS JUST 12, HER FATHER WAS

MURDERED IN FRONT OF HER

A FAMILY MEMBER CAME INTO

OUR HOME AND SAID MY MOM HAD

SHOT MY FATHER. I BEGAN TO

LIVE IN DENIAL. NO MATTER HOW

HARD I TRIED, I CANNOT GET

THIS VISION OUT OF MY MIND. I

JUST HAD TO PLAY IT OUT AS

THOUGH HE WAS OUT OF TOWN AND

HE WOULD BE BACK SOON BUT THAT

WAS THE ONLY WAY I COULD

HAPPILY GET THROUGH IT.

Reporter: TORRES SPENT

YEARS TRYING TO COME TO TERMS

WITH HER FATHER'S DEATH.

HE WAS MY HERO. HE TAUGHT ME

SO MUCH. HE IS SAYING SANG IN

THE CHOIR. HE WOULD COME HOME

AT NIGHT AND HE WOULD BE SO

TIRED BUT HE WAS NEVER HEARD TO

TIRED TO PUT US ON HIS KNEE AND

TALK TO US.

SHE ACCEPTED CHRIST AS A

YOUNG GIRL AND SANG IN THE

CHURCH CHOIR BUT AFTER HER

FATHER'S DEATH, SHE BEGAN TO

NUMB THE EMOTIONAL PAIN WITH

MARIJUANA.

I BEGAN TO SEE WHERE HE FELL

TO THE GROUND AND I WOULD BEGIN

TO SMOKE MARIJUANA AND MY BODY

BEGAN TO CRAVE IT AND BY THE

TIME I WAS AN ADULT, I HAD A

FULL-BLOWN COCAINE ADDICTION.

DORRIS LEFT HER HOME AND

FAMILY AND BEGAN LIVING ON THE

STREETS OF NASHVILLE. SHE DID

WHATEVER IT TOOK TO SURVIVE

INCLUDING PROSTITUTION.

IT DID NOT START RIGHT AWAY.

FIRST, I WOULD SIT AROUND OTHER

WOMEN AND THEY WOULD GO OUT AND

I WOULD THINK, THAT WAS EASY.

ONE TIME I TRIED IT AND I

THOUGHT, THAT IS NOT AS BAD AS

I THOUGHT AND I TRAINED MYSELF

TO GET OUT OF THE COLD

BLISTERING WEATHER AND I

TRAINED MYSELF TO GET OUT OF

THE HOT SUN. MY LIFE WAS FULL

OF GOING TO JAIL AND GETTING

OUT OF JAIL AND SELLING MYSELF

AS IF I WERE SOME TYPE OF A

COMMODITY TO SUPPORT MY HABIT

AND I WAS ACTUALLY IN MY

ADDICTION FOR OVER 26 YEARS.

WHEN SHE WOULD RETURN HOME

FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME, HER

FAMILY AND FRIENDS WOULD PRAY

FOR HER .

WAS ALMOST AS IF HER

COUNTENANCE HAD FALLEN BUT YOU

COULD TELL THAT THE INSIDES

WERE HURTING.

FOR A BRIEF PERIOD, DORRIS

GOD MARRIED THAT SHE RETURNED

TO THE STREETS WHEN THE

MARRIAGE FELL APART.

I HAD A HUSBAND AND TWO

CHILDREN AND FINALLY, IT JUST

FELL APART BECAUSE I COULD NOT

DO IT ANYMORE. MY ADDICTION

PROGRESSED. I LEFT HIM BECAUSE

HE WAS AN ALCOHOLIC AND LO AND

BEHOLD, THAT IS WHEN MY LIFE

REALLY FELL APART.

THE NEXT TWO DECADES WERE A

VICIOUS CYCLE OF ADDICTION AND

INCARCERATION. HER MOTHER

INVITED HER BACK TO A FAMILY

REUNION. SHE SAID, WE ARE

HAVING AN ANNIVERSARY AT OUR

CHURCH AND WE NEED YOU TO COME

HOME AND SING THE SONGS YOUR

DAD SAYING . COULD YOU DO THAT

BEFORE I DIE? SHE WAS PRAYING

SO FIERCELY THAT YOU COULD

ALMOST FEEL THE VIBRATIONS

COMING. SHE WAS SINGING AND

PRAYING OUT LOUD, OH, LORD,

WON'T YOU HELP ME ♪ SHE IS

PRAYING, I DON'T WANT MY

DAUGHTER TO GO BACK TO THE

STREETS. SO I GO TO THE CHOIR

AND ICING AND I PRAISE SO I

WAS JUST ON A SPIRITUAL HIGH

AND I THOUGHT, OH MY GOD, I

DON'T HAVE TO SELL MYSELF, I

DON'T HAVE TO USE DRUGS. MY

BODY IS A TEMPLE OF GOD .

SHORTLY AFTER THAT, SHE RAN

INTO HER OLD FRIEND REGINA WHO

TOLD HER ABOUT MANDOLIN HOUSE

WHO MINISTERS TO WOMEN CAUGHT

IN THE ADDICTION .

SHE SAID WE HAVE A PLACE FOR

YOU AND YOU CAN COME OVER HERE.

SO IN 2009, I GATHERED MY LIFE

BACK. I GET TO GO INTO THE

MAGAZINE PROGRAM AND IT TOOK

CARE OF ME. THEY SENT ME TO THE

DENTIST. THEY SENT ME TO

THERAPY. THEY TAUGHT ME HOW TO

LIVE LIFE WHEN LIFE TURNS TO

THE USE OF DRUGS AND ALCOHOL

AND I REMEMBERED HOW TO PRAY

AGAIN. SO I GET HIGH ON THE

WORD OF GOD AND ALL THE SPIRIT

OF GOD AND IT IS JUST

BREATHTAKING. I BREATHE IT IN.

I HAVE NOT HAD DRUGS OR A

DRINK OF LIQUOR IN NINE-HOLE

YEARS AND THAT IS JUST A

TESTAMENT TO HOW GREAT GOD IS.

IF PEOPLE CAN JUST SEE THE

FAITHFULNESS OF THE LORD JUST

BY HEARING HER STORY, IT IS ALL

WORTH IT BECAUSE THE LORD IS

THANKFUL. WHAT LOOKED LIKE A

MESS, THERE IS NO WAY THAT

THIS IS GOING TO GET RESOLVED.

THE LORD RESOLVED IT. AND HE

RESOLVED IT IN A MIGHTY WAY, A

MIGHTY WAY.

Reporter: THROUGH MAGDALENE

HOUSE AND THE SISTER

ORGANIZATION, SHE BEGAN A NEW

LIFE. DORRIS WAS EVENTUALLY

HIRED BY CASTLE FARMS WHERE SHE

WORKS AS AN AMBASSADOR FOR THE

ORGANIZATION AND AS A SALES

CONSULTANT.

WE HAVE WOMEN ALL ACROSS THE

GLOBE AND I GET TO STAND IN

FRONT OF PEOPLE AND TELL MY

LIFE STORY. GOD IS ABLE , NO

MATTER WHAT YOU ARE GOING

THROUGH IN LIFE. I DON'T CARE

IF IT IS YOUR HEALTH OR CANCER

OR IF IT IS MENTAL ILLNESS OR

ADDICTION, NO MATTER WHAT IT

IS, GOD IS ABLE. HE HAS BROUGHT

ME OUT HERE AND GIVEN ME A NEW

LIFE. HE HAS GIVEN ME MY VOICE

BACK. I NEED TO TELL PEOPLE

THAT NO MATTER WHAT, IT IS

GOING TO BE OKAY. I'M NOT

SAYING THAT I WON'T HAVE

PROBLEMS AGAIN. THAT'S OKAY.

WHEN YOU HAVE GOD ON YOUR SIDE

AND JESUS IS BECKONING TO USE

SAYING, COME ON HOME, IT IS

GOING TO BE OKAY.

JESUS BECKONS EACH AND EVERY

ONE OF US TO COME ON HOME. WE

ARE NOT MEANT TO BE OUT THERE

BY OURSELVES. WE ARE NOT MEANT

TO BE BENT OVER BECAUSE OF THE

THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO

US. SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO GO

THROUGH THE MESS THAT SHE

TALKED ABOUT HER LIFE TO GET

TO THE MESSAGE AND THE MESSAGE

IS THAT GOD LOVES YOU WITH AN

EVERLASTING LOVE. I DON'T KNOW

ANYONE ELSE, ANYWHERE ELSE

BUT AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS

THAT WE CAN COME TO WHEN WE ARE

BLENDED AND WE ARE BROKEN AND

WINLOCK HAS BEATEN US UP BUT

WITH GOD, YOU GET A SECOND

CHANCE. AND A SECOND CHANCE

COMES WITH SUCH AN EXCITING

UNDERSTANDING OF HOW YOU WERE

CREATED, WHO CREATED YOU, WHAT

YOU WERE CREATED FOR. MAYBE

YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH TRAUMA

LIKE DORRIS DID . YOU KNOW, IT

WILL EAT YOU UP IF YOU DON'T

GET IT TAKEN CARE OF. AND YOU

CAN GET IT TAKEN CARE OF.

THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO

KNOW HOW TO PRAY HEALING

PRAYERS, HOW TO TAKE YOU TO

THE FOOT OF THE CROSS, HOW TO

HELP YOU GET FREE FROM

ADDICTION. THERE ARE SOME OF

YOU WHO ARE WONDERING, WHAT AM

I HERE FOR? YOU ARE STRUGGLING

WITH DEPRESSION WITH PURPOSE.

GOD HAS GOD AN ANSWER FOR YOU

AND HE SAYS COME TO ME, ALL OF

YOU WHO ARE WEARY AND HEAVY

LADEN. HE SAYS HE IS GOING TO

GIVE YOU REST, REST FOR YOUR

SOUL, REST FOR YOUR MIND, REST

FOR YOUR BODY. GOD ALWAYS

WANTS TO GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU

CAN PASS FOR OR IMAGINE BUT WE

HAVE TO COME TO HIM. IF YOU

HAVE NEVER DONE THAT, START

NOW. JUST RIGHT NOW, STOP WHAT

YOU ARE DOING. THE PRAYER IS SO

SIMPLE. IT IS NOT ABOUT THE

PRAYER BUT THE CONDITION OF

YOUR HEART. YOU SAY, JESUS, I

AM BROKEN . I AM A MESS, I AM A

SINNER. AND I AM ASKING YOU TO

BE THE SAVIOR OF MY SOUL. I AM

ASKING YOU TO PUT ME BACK

TOGETHER. I AM ASKING YOU TO

FILL ME WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT

TO TEACH ME HOW TO LIVE FOR

YOU,

THE WAY I. THINGS, THE WAY I

SEE THINGS, HEAL ME, TODAY,

THIS NAME I PRAY. AMEN. IF YOU

HAVE PRAYED THAT PRAYER WITH

US, THIS IS A PACKET CREATED

FOR YOU, HOW TO YOU WANT, NOW,

HOW DO YOU LIVE, NOW, HOW DO

YOU MOVE FORWARD? WE WILL GET

THIS OUT TO YOU RIGHT AWAY.

CALL OUR TOLL-FREE NUMBER. WE

LEAVE YOU WITH THESE WORDS,

SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE

FOUND, CALL UPON HIM WHILE HE
