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.
> A HEARTWARMING WOMAN

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

PLATFORMS.
> BIBLE TEACHER AND
BEST-SELLING AUTHOR, BETH
MOORE, IS KNOWN WORLDWIDE FOR
HER MINISTRY TO WOMEN. IN HER
MEMOIR, SHE REVEALS HER OWN
PERSONAL TRAUMA OF CHILDHOOD
SEXUAL ABUSE. A HAUNTING DEATH
WISH AND AN EXTREME CHALLENGE
IN HER MARRIAGE. CHARLIE SPOKE
WITH BETH ABOUT HER PAST AND
HER PRESENT STRUGGLES.
> IN HER LATEST BOOK , ALL OF
MY KNOTTED UP MY, BETH MOORE
DELIVERS A COMPELLING SELF
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
FLASHES OF LIGHT BUT NOW YOU

REATTACH EVERYTHING AND I AM
GOING TO MAKE ALL THINGS NEW.

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
, LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY. THAT IS
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

IN JESUS NAME. TERRY, GOD IS
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
IS SETTING THAT IN ORDER AND
THE TINGLING WILL GO AWAY AND
YOU ARE HEALED IN JESUS NAME.
THERE IS SOMEONE, YOUR NAME
IS MICHAEL AND YOU HAVE HAD A
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,
GOD'S HEALING YOUR EYE, HE IS
RESTORING VISION. HE IS
BRINGING EVERYTHING BACK TO
YOU. WHICH YOU HAVE LOST, WHAT
YOU THINK YOU HAVE LOST

> 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
