CALL FROM THEN PRESIDENT TRUMP.

IN IT, HE APPEARED TO PRESSURE

GEORGIA SECRETARY OF STATE TO

THE FORMER PRESIDENT, INCLUDING

ALLEGED SCHEME TO OVERTURN THE

2020 ELECTION. ON CBN'S "FAITH

NATION" PROGRAM, NATHAN

GONZALEZ, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER

OF INSIDE ELECTIONS PREDICTS

TRUMP'S SUPPORTERS WILL REMAIN

UNFAZED.

I THINK THEY WILL GO INTO TH

SAME BASKET OF THESE

INVESTIGATIONS, THEY'RE JUST OU

TO GET HIM, AND THEY CONTINUE T

BE ON HIS SIDE.

EVERY TIME I GET INDICTED I

LIKE TO CHECK THE POLLS BECAUSE

ONE MORE INDICTMNT, THEN I

THINK THIS ELECTION IS OVER. [

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

ONE MORE.

Reporter: DISTRICT ATTORNEY

WILLIS GAVE ALL THE DEFENDANTS,

INCLUDING TRUMP, UNTIL FRIDAY,

AUGUST 25th TO TURN THEMSELVES

IN AND ADDED SHE WANTS TO HOLD

THE TRIAL WITHIN THE NEXT SIX

MONTHS. KAITLYN BURK, CBN NEWS,

WASHINGTON.

CBN NEWS CHIEF POLITICAL

ANALYST DAVID BRODY JOINS US

NOW. WITH ALL OF THESE

INDICTMENTS, WE'RE SEEING A LOT

OF YOU LATELY, DAVID, WHICH IS

GOOD THING. THE GEORGIA

PROSECUTOR USED THE TERM

RACKETEERING, A RACKETEERING LA

TO BRING THE CHARGES. HOW IS

THIS DIFFERENT FROM THE EARLIER

INDICTMENTS?

WELL, IT'S BROADER. THERE'S

NOT JUST TRUMP, IT'S 19 OTHERS,

AND SO IT GOES INTO MUCH MORE

DETAIL SPECIFICALLY ON WHAT

HAPPENED IN GEORGIA. BUT IT IS

VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT JACK SMITH

WAS DOING AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL

BUT, LOOK, IF YOU LOOK INSIDE

THE INDICTMENT, ANDREW, THE

TERMS THAT ARE BEING USED,

CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE, IN ESSENCE

HE'S -- EXCUSE ME, FANI WILLIS

IS IN ESSENCE SAYING THESE ARE

IN ESSENCE MOBSTERS, ALL IN IT

TO KIND OF FIX THE SYSTEM OR FI

THE SITUATION DOWN IN GEORGIA.

HOLD ON FOR A SECOND. DONALD

TRUMP -- LET'S BE CLEAR WHAT HE

WAS DOING. HE THOUGHT THERE WAS

FRAUD IN THE ELECTION. HE WANTE

THE SECRETARY OF STATE, BRAD

RAFFENSPERGER, DOWN IN GEORGIA

TO LOOK INTO IT. IF YOU LISTEN

TO THE PHONE CALL, AND I'VE

LISTENED TO IT MANY TIMES, AND

I'VE READ THE TRANSCRIPT MANY

TIMES AS WELL, YOU LISTEN TO IT

DONALD TRUMP IS SAYING WHAT

ABOUT THIS, WHAT ABOUT THIS? SO

THE POINT IS IS THAT HE WASN'T

ASKING FOR BRAD RAFFENSPERGER T

FIND VOTES THAT WOULD DEFINITEL

SECURE HIM THE ELECTION, AND IF

YOU DIDN'T, YOU'RE IN TROUBLE,

IT WASN'T ANYTHING LIKE THAT. H

WANTED TO KNOW WHAT IN THE WORL

IS GOING ON? THAT IS CALLED

PROTECTED FREE SPEECH ACCORDING

TO MANY OF THE LEAST

CONSERVATIVE LAWYERS THAT ARE

TALKING ABOUT THIS, NOT TO

MENTION IT'S ALSO ALLOWED UNDER

THE FEDERAL ELECTORAL COUNT ACT

AT THE TIME. SO THERE'S A LOT T

BE PARSED THROUGH HERE. BUT THI

IS -- THIS IS ONCE AGAIN GOING

TO BE A BOB FOR TRUMP, NO DOUBT

ABOUT IT.

I THINK CERTAINLY TRUMP IS

INSINUATING AND SAYING THIS IS

INTERFERENCE IN THE ELECTION. N

MATTER WHAT SIDE OF THE

POLITICAL AISLE YOU'RE ON, IT

WOULD BE HARD TO ARGUE THE

TIMING OF THESE INDICTMENT, THE

FOURTH NOW. IF TRUMP WASN'T

RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, DO YOU

THINK ALL OF THIS ACTION WOULD

BE OCCURRING, YOU THINK?

WELL, IT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

THE SHORT ANSWER MAY BE NO. BUT

I ACTUALLY THINK THE LONGER

ANSWER MAY BE YES, AND HERE'S

WHY. I THINK THAT THE LEFT AND

THE DEMOCRATS IN THIS COUNTRY

WERE OUT TO GET TRUMP NO MATTER

WHAT, EVER SINCE HE GLIDED DOWN

THAT ESCALATOR AND WON THE

PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES

THEY HAVE JUST -- IT'S BEEN

SITTING WITH THEM, THEY WANTED

REVENGE ON HIM EVER SINCE THAT

HAPPENED. SO EVEN IF HE WASN'T

RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, I THINK

THEY WANT TO LOCK HIM UP. I

THINK THEY'VE BEEN WANTING TO D

THAT FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

ANDREW, IF I COULD JUST KIND OF

GET DOWN TO BRASS TACKS HERE,

HERE'S WHAT THIS IS REALLY

ABOUT. DONALD TRUMP, AS WE'VE

TALKED ABOUT ALL ALONG, IS A

FIGHTER. HE WAS FIGHTING IN HIS

VIEW THAT HE BELIEVED THE

ELECTION WAS RIG AND STOLEN AND

ALL OF THAT. BUT, LOOK, IF HE'S

LOOKING FOR FRAUD, HE WAS TRYIN

TO PUSH BACK ON THIS IDEA THAT

GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WERE JUST

TELLING HIM IT'S OVER. HE DIDN'

BELIEVE IT WAS OVER. NOW, YOU

CAN TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH HIM O

THAT. THAT'S FINE. BUT DOES HE

HAVE A RIGHT TO ACTUALLY

QUESTION THE ELECTION? AND IN

ESSENCE, HE'S PUSHING BACK

AGAINST THE NARRATIVE THAT THE

GOVERNMENT IN GEORGIA AND THE

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND OTHERS

SAID IN THIS CASE. SO THAT'S

WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. I BELIEVE

THIS WILL DEFINITELY GO ALL THE

WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT, IF IT

EVEN GETS TO TRIAL BECAUSE THIS

SEEMS TO BE A FREEDOM OF SPEECH

ISSUE HERE, AND THAT'S IT IN A

NUTSHELL.

WELL, CLEARLY TRUMP

SUPPORTERS AREN'T AFFECTED BY

THE INDICTMENT AS HIS NUMBERS G

UP. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE

REPUBLICAN PARTY? WHAT DOES THI

DO TO THE PARTY ITSELF? THERE

MAY BE SOME IN LEADERSHIP WHO

ARE GLAD TO SEE THIS HAPPEN

TORTION GET TRUMP OUT OF THE

WAY. ARE OTHERS REAL CONCERNED

NOW ABOUT THE ELECTION COMING

UP? WHERE DO YOU THINK IT

STANDS?

Reporter: WELL, THEY WANT

TRUMP TO DISAPPEAR. THE MITCH

McCONNELLS AND MANY OF THE

ESTABLISHMENT FOLKS ON THE

REPUBLICAN SIDE WANT HIM TO JUS

LEAVE AND JUST GO AWAY. THE

PROBLEM IS THAT HE'S NOT GOING

AWAY, AND HE JUST KEEPS GETTING

STRONGER. SO CLEARLY THERE ARE

CONCERNS ABOUT THE GENERAL

ELECTION FROM THEIR VANTAGE

POINT. BUT I SEE THIS AS A

COUNTER INTUITIVE SITUATION. I

BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL ACTUALLY

EMBOLDEN DONALD TRUMP, HELP HIM

IN THE GENERAL ELECTION WITH

BLUE COLLAR FRUSTRATED RUST BEL

VOTERS WHO SEE A GOVERNMENT

STACKED AGAINST THEM, AND I

THINK THE INDICTMENTS WILL

ACTUALLY HELP HIM WIN BACK BLUE

COLLAR VOTERS IN TWOIR.

ALL RIGHT, DAVID, THANK YOU.

ALWAYS APPRECIATE YOUR INSIGHT.

THANKS FOR BEING WITH US TODAY.

YOU BET.

> IN OTHER NEWS, AUTHORITIES

IN HAWAII ARE URGING SURVIVORS

OF THE MAUI FIRE TO PROVIDE DNA

SAMPLES TO HELP IDENTIFY THEIR

LOST LOVED ONES. JENNA BROWDER

HAS MORE ON THAT STORY FROM OUR

CBN NEWS BUREAU IN WASHINGTON.

JENNA.

Reporter: ANDREW, HAWAII'S

GOVERNOR REPORTS 99 PEOPLE LOST

THEIR LIVES IN THE DEADLIEST

WILDFIRE TO HIT THE U.S. IN MOR

THAN 100 YEARS. WITH HUNDREDS

STILL MISSING, THAT NUMBER IS

EXPECTED TO KEEP RISING.

IT'S GOING TO BE EMOTIONALLY

CATASTROPHIC. I UNDERSTAND THAT

PEOPLE WANT NUMBERS. THIS IS NO

A NUMBERS GAME. IT'S NOT JUST

ASH ON YOUR CLOTHING WHEN YOU

TAKE IT OFF. IT'S OUR LOVED

ONES.

Reporter: STORIES ARE COMING

OUT OF PEOPLE SACRIFICING

THEMSELVES TO HELP OTHERS. THE

FAMILY OF JOE SCHILLING SAYS HE

ALSO DIED A HERO TRYING TO

ASSIST HIS ELDERLY NEIGHBORS.

AND THE FIREFIGHTERS WHO FOUGHT

THE BLAZE, 17 OF THOSE WHO LIVE

IN LAHAINA LOST THEIR OWN HOMES

THERE ARE POSITIVE SCENES AS

LOCALS COME TOGETHER DONATING

THEIR OWN GOODS TO HELP THOSE

WHO LOST EVERYTHING. AND

REPRESENTATIVES OF CBN'S

OPERATION BLESSING ARE IN HAWAI

PURCHASING SUPPLIES AND WORKING

WITH PARTNERS YOUTH WITH A

MISSION TO GET THAT RELIEF TO

THOSE IN NEED. FOR PEOPLE IN

NEED OF HEALING AND RESTORATION

THEY OFTEN TURN TO NATURE.

THAT'S WHY A 70-YEAR-OLD

MINISTRY IS DEDICATED TO

SPREADING THE GOSPEL IN

AMERICA'S BEAUTIFUL PUBLIC

LANDS, FROM ALASKA TO THE VIRGI

ISLANDS. CBN'S BRODY CARTER

TAKES US TO CALIFORNIA'S

YOASMIETZ NATIONAL PARK TO SEE

HOW GOD IS CHANGING LIVES

THROUGH THIS GRASSROOTS

STUDENT-LED EFFORT.

Reporter: IN SOME OF EARTH'S

LAST STANDING WILD SPACES MANY

VISITORS EXPERIENCE NATURE IN

ITS RAW FORM WHILE ALSO

SEARCHING FOR HEALING,

RESTORATION OR PEACE.

YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING AS A

BACKDROP THAT IS SO BEAUTIFUL

THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING, HUM, WHO

MADE THIS? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Reporter: THOSE WORKING IN

THE PARKS, HOWEVER, SAY LIFE'S

NOT ALWAYS RAINBOWS AND

BUTTERFLIES.

THERE'S A LOT OF REALLY HARD

THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN THE PARKS

WE HEAR OF THINGS LIKE DRUG

ABUSE, ALCOHOL ABUSE, SUICIDE.

Reporter: MANY OF THE

COUNTRY'S MORE THAN 420

DESIGNATED PUBLIC LANDS CONTAIN

REMOTE AND RUGGED TERRAIN. THES

ARE THE PLACES WHERE ACMMP OR A

CHRISTIAN MINISTRY IN THE

NATIONAL PARKS SENDS TEAM

MEMBERS.

YOU ARE THRUST INTO AN

ENVIRONMENT WHERE YOU DON'T HAV

A READY-MADE CHURCH AT HAND.

YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO ACTUALLY

EVEN PLANT A CHURCH, YOU'RE

TRYING TO CREATE A SEASONAL

CHURCH. FOUNDER WARREN OST BEGA

THE MINISTRY IN 1951 WHEN HE SA

NO CONNECTION BETWEEN

YELLOWSTONE AND THE LOCAL

CHURCH. IT STARTED WITH A BIBLE

STUDY IN THE BARN OF THE OLD

FAITHFUL INN, SHARING FAITH AND

HOPE WITH PARK GUESTS. TODAY TH

ORGANIZATION SERVES IN 45 PARKS

THIS IS THE ICONIC YOSEMITE

VALLEY BEHIND ME WHERE AN

ESTIMATED 4 MILLION PEOPLE FROM

ACROSS THE GLOBE TRAVEL JUST TO

SEE THESE NATURAL WONDERS. BUT

WHEN IT COMES TO SHARING THE

GOSPEL THIS SUMMER TO VISITORS,

THAT RESPONSIBILITY RESTS ON TH

SHOULDERS OF ONE WOMAN.

WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING LIKE

THIS IN MINNESOTA. WE HAVE

LAKES, WE DON'T VA MOUNTAINS.

Reporte: 21-YEAR-OLD GRACE

BENNETT LEFT HER HOME STATE FOR

THE FIRST TIME IN MAY TO

EXPERIENCE A CALIFORNIA SUMMER,

GROW IN HER RELATIONSHIP WITH

GOD AND HELP OTHERS DO THE SAME

IT'S ONE OF THE ONLY PLACES

IN THE WORLD THAT YOU CAN FIND

THIS KIND OF GRANITE.

Reporter: SHE FOUND MARK IN

YOSEMITE THROUGH MMCMP SERVING

AS A PARK EMPLOYEE DURING THE

WEEK AND LEADING WORSHIP ON

SUNDAY.

I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING SO

SPECIAL BEING ABLE TO PREACH TH

GOSPEL IN HIS CREATION. SO MANY

PEOPLE ARE DRAWN HERE BECAUSE

THEY'RE DRAWN TO BEAUTY OR

MYSTERY OR, LIKE,

MAGNIFICENTENCE OR ALL THOSE

THINGS. THEY'RE HERE FOR THAT

REASON, THEY'RE SEARCHING FOR

THAT, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHO

THEY'RE ACTUALLY SEARCHING FOR.

Reporter: EVEN THOUGH GRACE

IS THE MINISTRY'S SOLE

REPRESENTATIVE IN YOSEMITE, SHE

CHOSE SOME 15,000 ALUMNI THAT

SEE THE NATIONAL PARKS AS A

SPECIAL PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN

CONNECT WITH GOD.

GOING TO WORKS, I DON'T

NECESSARILY LOOK AT THE

MOUNTAINS ANYMORE. I'M NOT

STOPPING TO PAUSE AT THE

WATERFALL EVERY TIME I PASS IT,

AND YET WHEN I DO, I'M JUST

GREATLY HUMBLED JUST TO BE HERE

Reporter: REPORTING IN

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK,

CALIFORNIA, BRODY CARTER, CBN

NEWS.

JUST BEAUTIFUL. ANDREW, BACK

TO YOU.

JENNA, ONE OF THE COOL THING

ABOUT THAT STORY IS THAT OVER 7

YEARS AGO IT STARTED, THAT

MINISTRY. NOW IT'S IN OVER 45

PARKS, AND IT START WITH A SMAL

BIBLE STUDY AT A SMALL INN.

THERE'S AN OLD EXPRESSION DON'T

DESPISE SMALL BEGINNINGS. PEOPL

STAY CONNECTED WITH CBN NEWS

ALL DAY ACROSS OUR PLATFORMS.

> THERE'S A NEW WEAPON ON TH

RISE IN NORTHBOUND WARFARE. U.S

AIR FORCE LEADERS POINT TO SMAL

DRONES AS ONE OF THE TOP THREAT

IN COMBAT. MARK MARTIN TRAVELED

TO THE TOP MILITARY SITE TASKED

WITH MEETING THIS CHALLENGE.

HERE'S HIS REPORT FROM GRAND

FORKS AIR FORCE BASE IN NORTH

DAKOTA.

Reporter: RUSSIA'S WAR ON

UKRAINE IS BRINGING DRONE

WARFARE FRONT AND CENTER,

SHOWCASING HOW THESE UNMANNED

AERIAL VEHICLES ARE USED FOR

SURVEILLANCE AND COMBAT. THIS

FOOTAGE REPORTEDLY RELEASED BY

UKRAINIAN SPECIAL FORCES APPEAR

TO SHOW A DRONE DESTROYING A

RUSSIAN ARMORED VEHICLE AND

TANK. THEN THERE'S ACTUALLY

DRONE-ON-DRONE COMBAT. THIS

VIDEO DEPICTS A DRONE DOG FIGHT

REPORTEDLY INVOLVING EQUIPMENT

USED FOR SURVEILLANCE BY

EUREKAIAN AND RUSSIAN ARMED

FORCES.

THERE'S PROTECTION BY THE WA

OF ANTI-DRONE MEASURES.

Reporter: AND IT'S NOT JUST

IN THE AIR. HERE YOU SEE WHAT

APPEARS TO BE A UKRAINIAN SEA

DRONE ATTACKING A RUSSIAN TANKE

SHIP IN THE BLACK SEA. AT NORTH

DAKOTA'S GRAND FORKS AIR FORCE

BASE, THEY'RE NOT TAKING THE US

OF DRONES LIGHTLY. THE 319th

RECONNAISSANCE SMALL WING

PROGRAM IS THE FIRST TO UTILIZE

SUCH A PROGRAM WITH OPERATORS

FROM MULTIPLE UNITS.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO FAR TO

LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND

THE WORLD, RIGHT? IT IS NO

SECRET WHAT OUR ADVERSARIES ARE

DOING WITH THESE THINGS.

Reporter: CAPTAIN MATTHEW

CONTROL IS THE VICE CHAIRMAN FO

SMALL UNMANNED AERIAL OPERATION

HERE.

THESE THINGS CAN BE

WEAPONIZED, AND THEY CAN BE USE

TO HURT PEOPLE AND THINGS. AND,

UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT THAT MEANS

IS WE AS THE DEPARTMENT OF

DEFENSE AND THE UNITED STATES

AIR FORCE HAVE TO GO OUT THERE

AND COUNTER THAT THREAT.

Reporter: ONE DRONE THAT

AIRMEN TRAIN ON IS THE QUAD

COPTER STYLE SKY X2D. THE

SECURITY FORCE'S UNIT DEPLOY IT

IS TO DEFEND THE BASE FOR

PERIMETER SCANS OR IDENTIFYING

THREATS FROM THE SKY. THAT USE

CAN ALSO TRANSFER TO OVERSEAS

BASES.

THAT GOES BEYOND INTO THE

DEPLOYMENT MISSIONS THAT WE

SERVE WHERE OUR COMMANDERS ARE

CONSTANTLY UNDER THREAT FROM TH

OUTSIDE OF THE WATER THREAT.

THOSE THREATS ARE IMMEDIATELY

ANSWERED BY THIS TYPE OF

TECHNOLOGY.

Reporter: SENIOR AIRMAN

OPERATES THE DRONE AND SAYS IT'

PRETTY IMPRESSIVE WHAT THEY CAN

DO.

INFLUENCES MAY BE ACTIVE

SHOOTERS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S

SOMETHING LOCATING AN INDIVIDUA

IN THAT ASPECT TO GET EYES ON S

THERE'S SOMEBODY ELSE WHO IS IN

PART OF THAT MISSION CONTROL CA

SEE WHAT'S GOING ON AND MAYBE

REDIRECT US IN WAYS THAT WE

DIDN'T THINK ON THE GROUND COUL

BE DONE.

Reporter: CROWEL SAYS THEY

ALSO USE IT FOR AIRCRAFT

RECOVERY TRAINING, AND IF

REQUIRED, COULD SURVEY A CRAFT

SITE.

IT'S ON THE AIRCRAFT ITSELF.

Reporter: MEMBERS OF THE

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE UNIT GAVE

US A DEMO OF THE SKY X2D.

I'M GOING TO GIVE IT A LITTL

BIT OF ALTITUDE HERE TO GET AWA

FROM THINGS, CHANGE OVER TO MY

WAY POINT MISSION, AND THEN I

JUST HIT PLAY, AND THEN THE

AIRCRAFT DOES WHAT IT'S ALREADY

TOLD TO DO.

Reporter: MASTER SERGEANT

MATTHEW ROBERTS SAYS USING A

SYSTEM LIKE THIS TO SURVEY AND

ASSESS DAMAGES SAVES TIME, MONE

AND RESOURCES.

IT ELIMINATES A LOT OF BOOTS

ON THE GROUND IN A SENSE TO DO

WHAT WE NEED TO IN A SHORT TIME

AND CAPTURE WHAT WE NEED TO

WITHOUT SPENDING A LOT OF

RESOURCES AHEAD OF TIME TO MAKE

THE JOB AND THE MISSION HAPPEN

QUICKLY AND SAFELY.

Reporter: THERE ARE ACTUALLY

TWO ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY

MISSIONS INVOLVING UNMANNED

AERIAL SYSTEMS OPERATING HERE A

GRAND FORKS AIR FORCE BASE. IN

ADDITION TO THE SKY WHICH YOU

ALREADY SAW, ANOTHER UNIT

OPERATES WHAT'S CALLED THE RQ-4

OR GLOBAL HUB. YOU'RE LOOKING A

THE WORLD'S LARGEST DRONE, THE

348th RECONNAISSANCE SQUADRON

HERE FLIES THE GLOBAL HAWK. THE

LONG-ENDURANCE AIRCRAFT CAN

REACH EXTREMELY HIGH ALTITUDES

OF 50,000 TO 60,000 FEET.

CAPTAIN MARK COCHRAN REMOTELY

PILOTS THE LARGE-SCALE SYSTEM

THAT PROVIDES GLOBAL DAY OR

NIGHT INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANC

AND RECONNAISSANCE.

THE RQ-4 IS FOR A MERE

INTELLIGENCE ASSET THAT IS ONE

OF THE ONLY ASSETS THAT'S

CAPABLE OF GIVING SUCH A LONG

COLLECTION TIME WITHOUT NEEDING

AERIAL FUELING, AND IT'S ITS

BIGGEST BRAIN.

Reporter: BRAD BOWLEN FOR TH

FOUNDATION OF THE DEFENSE OF

DEMOCRACIES CALLS THESE DRONE

SYSTEMS FUNDAMENTALLY IMPORTAT

TO THE U.S. MILITARY.

WE REALLY ARE UNFORTUNATELY

CONTINUE TO BE IN AN ARMS RACE

AGAINST ADVERSARIES THAT ARE

BUILDING DRONES. OBVIOUSLY

RUSSIA HAS DRONES. THEY'RE

WORKING WITH WITH IRAN ON THEIR

DRONES. CHINA IS A MAJOR

DEVELOPER AND EXPORTER OF

DRONES. THE COUNTRY THAT HAS TH

MOST ADVANCED DRONES, THE RIGHT

QUANTITY OF DRONES AND DEPLOYS

THEM EFFECTIVELY, IT'S GOING TO

HAVE LIFE-AND-DEATH CONSEQUENCE

ON THE BATTLEFIELD.

AT THE AISK, THEY ARE AWARE

OF THIS TECH AS A GAME CHANGER

IN A TIME OF WAR AND ANOTHER WA

THAT AMERICANS CAN FEEL SAFE.

MARK MARTIN, CBN NEWS, GRAND

FORKS, NORTH DAKOTA.

WELL, INDEED WARFARE HAS

CERTAINLY CHANGED, LESS BOOTS O

THE GROUND. AND TO THINK THAT

GLOBAL HAWK GOES 60,000 FEET IN

ALTITUDE, INCREDIBLE. IT'S A

GREAT LOOK AT HOW OUR U.S.

"ORACLES OF GOD, THE STORY O

THE OLD TESTAMENT

> MEL REMEMBERS TWO THINGS

FROM HIS ACCIDENT, FIRST, THE

PAIN, THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE

CONSIDERING THAT HE HAD MULTIPL

BROKEN BONES. THE SECOND THING

HE REMEMBERS IS THE PRAYERS FRO

HIS FAMILY, AND THAT, HE SAYS,

IS WHAT SAVED HIS LIFE.

Reporter: IT HAD BEEN HOURS

SINCE PHYLLIS PHELPS' HUSBAND,

BILL, LEFT ON A QUICK ERRAND

BEFORE THEY WENT ON VACATION.

FINALLY SHE CALLED HIM.

AND I THOUGHT WHAT IN THE

WORLD? SHE SAYS BILL'S BEEN IN

BAD ACCIDENT. WE DON'T KNOW IF

HE'S GOING TO MAKE IT.

Reporter: THE WOMAN WHO

PHYLLIS KNEW HAD SEEN IT HAPPEN

BILL WAS GOING THROUGH AN

INTERSECTION ON HIS MOTORCYCLE

WHEN A VAN RAN A RED LIGHT.

SWERVING TO AVOID A COLLISION,

HE LOST CONTROL AND WAS THROWN

40 FEET ACROSS THE PAVEMENT. HE

WASN'T WEARING A HELMET.

IT WASN'T SO MANY EMOTIONS A

ONE TIME THAT HIT YOU. AT FIRST

INSTINCT IS ALWAYS TO PRAY.

Reporter: WHEN PHYLLIS

ARRIVED AT THE LOCAL HOSPITAL,

THE STAFF WAS PREPPING BILL FOR

A MEDIVAC FLIGHT TO DARTMOUTH

MEDICAL CENTER IN LEBANON, NEW

HAMPSHIRE.

PRAYED, OH, GOD, JUST LET HI

LIVE. IT WAS OUT, AND I TOUCHED

HIS FOOT, AND I PRAYED TO THE

LORD. AND I FELT LIKE THE HOLY

SPIRIT NOT IN AN AUDIBLE VOICE,

BUT SAID FOR LIFE.

Reporter: SOON AFTER PHYLLIS

AND HER ADULT CHILDREN BEGAN TH

70-MILE DRIVE TO DARTMOUTH

MEDICAL CENTER

WE DIDN'T KNOW IF WE WOULD

MAKE IT TO THE HOSPITAL BEFORE

HE DIED.

Reporter: AFTER THEY ARRIVED

PHYLLIS LEARNED BILL HAD

NUMEROUS INJURIES THAT INCLUDED

SEVERAL BROKEN RIBS, PUNCTURED

LUNG AND A NEARLY SEVERED SPINE

ONE INJURY, HOWEVER, WAS LIFE

THREATENING, A LEVEL 4 BRAIN

TRAUMA THAT WOULD REQUIRE

IMMEDIATE SURGERY TO GET THE

BRAIN SWELLING UNDER CONTROL IF

PHYLLIS AGREED.

THE DOCTOR SAID TO ME, IF WE

DON'T DO THE SURGERY, HE WILL

SURELY DIE. IF HE DOES LIVE, HE

WOULD PROBABLY BE A VEGETABLE.

SO THAT WAS TO BE FACTORED IN O

MY DECISION. ARE YOU READY TO

TAKE CARE OF SOMEONE FOR THE

REST OF THEIR LIFE? I SAID, OF

COURSE, DO WHAT YOU CAN TO SAVE

HIM. THEY SAID YOU AND YOUR

CHILDREN NEED TO SAY GOOD-BYE.

AND SO I BROUGHT THE KIDS IN TH

ROOM, AND I SAID GOD HAS THE

FINAL SAY.

Reporter: DOCTORS REMOVED

PART OF BILL'S SKULL TO

ALLEVIATE THE PRESSURE ON HIS

SWOLLEN BRAIN. NOW, AS BILL LAY

IN A MEDICALLY INDUCED COMA, AL

THEY COULD DO WAS WAIT.

IT WASN'T HOPEFUL, AND I

DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF HIM I

WOULD GET BACK.

Reporter: SOON THE WAITING

ROOM WAS FULL OF PEOPLE PRAYING

FOR BILL AND THE FAMILY.

EVEN THOUGH I WAS IN SUCH

SORROW AND SUCH SHOCK, I NEVER

FELT AWAY FROM THE PRESENCE OF

THE LORD.

Reporter: BECAUSE IT WAS A

FRONTAL LOBE INJURY, BILL'S

DOCTORS GAVE PHYLLIS LITTLE HOP

THAT BILL'S MEMORY WOULD

RECOVER. BY DAY 12, THE BRAIN

SWELLING HAD GONE DOWN ENOUGH

THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO BRING HI

OUT OF THE COMA.

HE DIDN'T KNOW WHO WE ALL

WERE. I DIDN'T KNOW IF HE WOULD

EVER REMEMBER US.

I REMEMBER EXTRAORDINARY

AMOUNT OF PAIN. I REMEMBER MY

FAMILY PRAYING FOR ME.

Reporter: TWO DAYS LATER,

BILL TRANSFERRED TO CATHOLIC

MEDICAL CENTER IN MANCHESTER,

NEW HAMPSHIRE, FOR REHAB. THERE

HE STARTED RELEARNING HOW TO

EAT, SPEAK AND WALK. EVEN THEN

DOCTORS DIDN'T EXPECT BILL WOUL

MAKE A FULL RECOVERY.

THE DOCTORS TOOK ME IN AND

TOLD ME THAT WOULDN'T GET MY

HUSBAND BACK. HE WILL BE A VERY

DIFFERENT MAN THAN I'M USED TO

AND THAT I NEEDED TO PREPARE

MYSELF.

MEANWHILE, BILL HAD MORE THA

JUST PHYSICAL STRUGGLES.

I HAD A WALKING, TALKING

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. HOW COUL

HE LET THIS HAPPEN TO ME?

FRUSTRATION TURNED INTO ANGER,

MOSTLY BECAUSE I COULDN'T

UNDERSTAND.

AND HE WOULD SAY TO ME I

CAN'T FIND MYSELF. AND I WOULD

TELL HIM GOD KNOWS WHERE YOU'RE

AT. GOD KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE

YOU'RE AT, AND HE WILL FIND YOU

Reporter: BY NOW PEOPLE ALL

OVER THE WORLD WERE PRAYING FOR

BILL. OVER THE NEXT MONTH, HE

SLOWLY IMPROVED, AND ON

SEPTEMBER 10th, HE WAS RELEASED

TO GO HOME.

GETTING HIM HOME A GREAT

VICTORY, BUT HAVING HIM THERE

WAS A GREAT CHALLENGE. YOU COUL

FEEL THE PRAYERS. IT GAVE ME A

LOT OF HOPE.

A LOT OF DETERMINATION,

MOSTLY BECAUSE OF THE LOVE THAT

I WAS SURROUNDED BY, MY FAMILY,

ALL THOSE PRAYING FOR ME.

Reporter: WHILE BILL

CONTINUED WITH OUTPATIENT REHAB

HE SAYS HIS PERSPECTIVE TOWARD

GOD BEGAN TO CHANGE.

MY ANGER TURNED INTO BEING

THANKFUL. I DON'T LIKE WHAT

HAPPENED TO ME, I NEVER WILL. I

DON'T UNDERSTAND. I NEVER WILL

UNDERSTAND. I TRY NOW TO THANK

HIM FOR THE THINGS THAT ARE

HAPPENING, THE BLESSINGS THAT I

GET TO ENJOY EVERYDAY, HAVING

GRANDCHILDREN. SIX OF THEM I

WOULD HAVE NEVER MET IF GOD

DIDN'T SAVE MY LIFE.

Reporter: BILL WOULD STILL

NEED MULTIPLE SURGERIES AND

REHAB OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS.

WITH THE HELP OF PHYSICAL

THERAPY, HE IS ALMOST BACK TO

HIS NORMAL LIFE.

HAS HE WAS IMPROVING, HE DID

WALK AGAIN, HE SAT AT THE SUPPE

TABLE, HE MOWED A LAWN, HE

LEARNED TO DRIVE AGAIN. IT'S

BEEN A LONG, LONG HAUL, AND IT'

NOT BEEN EASY FOR EITHER ONE OF

US.

Reporter: TODAY BILL AND

PHYLLIS BELIEVE IT WAS THE POWE

OF PRAYER THAT BROUGHT HIM BACK

TO THE LIFE HE LOVES.

GOD'S A MIRACLE WORKER. HE'S

STILL IN THE MIRACLE WORKING

BUSINESS.

JESUS CHRIST IS FAITHFUL, NO

MATTER WHAT YOU FACE, DON'T TUR

FROM GOD, RUN TO HIM. HE'S

WORTHY TO PUT YOUR TRUST IN. HE

DOESN'T WANT YOU TO WALK THROUG

THIS LIFE ALONE. WHATEVER

INJURIES YOU SUSTAIN IN LIFE,

YOU NEED JESUS CHRIST, THAT'S

THE ANSWER.

IT IS THE ANSWER, ISN'T IT?

YOU KNOW, LIFE IS FULL OF

SUDDENLIES, WHEN WE LEAST EXPEC

IT, THINGS HAPPEN THAT WE DIDN'

SEE COMING, AND THEY ARE LIFE

CHANGING VERY OFTEN. AND YET I

LOVE WHAT HIS WIFE SAID, GOD HA

THE FINAL WORD. AND SO TODAY I

DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR NEED IS, I

DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR PETITION T

THE LORD IS ABOUT OR FOR, BUT I

KNOW THIS, HE HAS THE FINAL

ANSWER. AND I ALSO KNOW THAT

JUST LIKE BILL, HE KNOWS YOUR

NAME, HE KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE, H

KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH

AND HE HAS THAT PROMISE HE'S

MADE TO ALL OF US THAT ALL

THINGS, NOT SOME THINGS, BUT AL

THINGS, MAYBE ESPECIALLY THE

DIFFICULT NEGATIVE CHALLENGING

THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD

FOR THOSE WHO LOVE GOD. THAT'S

YOU. THAT'S YOU. SO TODAY WE

WANT TO JOIN HEARTS, JOIN HANDS

WE WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU RIGHT I

THE MIDST OF YOUR CIRCUMSTANCE

AND ASK GOD TO MAKE A DIFFERENC

IN WHAT IT IS YOU'RE FACING. SO

LET'S DO THAT TOGETHER. OKAY.

READY? LET'S PRAY. WELL, FATHER

WE LOVE YOU, WE KNOW THAT YOU

ARE BIGGER THAN ANYTHING WE CAN

IMAGINE. WE KNOW THAT INVOLVED

IN ALL OF THIS, WHAT YOU'RE

ASKING US TO DO IS TO SURRENDER

TO YOUR GOODNESS, TO TRUST YOUR

HEART, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE CAN'T

SEE ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY WHEN W

DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THINGS HAV

HAPPENED, TO BELIEVE THAT YOUR

HEART IS GOOD ALL THE TIME AND

THAT YOUR GOODNESS IS CHASING

AFTER US AS YOUR CHILDREN, GOD,

PROMISING TO BRING GOOD OUT OF

NEGATIVE, TO BRING LIFE OUT OF

DEATH, TO BRING HOPE OUT OF

DARKNESS. MOVE IN OUR

CIRCUMSTANCES TODAY, GOD. SHOW

US WHAT IT IS YOU WANT TO DO AN

GIVE US THE HEART, GIVE US THE

WILL, GIVE US THE MIND, GIVE US

THE SPIRIT TO RECEIVE EXACTLY

WHAT YOU WANT TO GIVE US TODAY,

LORD. WE THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

FOR YOUR GOODNESS.

SOMEONE'S BEEN BATTLING DIZ

ANYYES, SIR. IN FACT, YOU'RE

SITTING WATCH THIS PROGRAM. YOU

NEED TO SIT BECAUSE WHEN YOU

WALK YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR HAND

ON FURNITURE TO STABILIZE

YOURSELF. THAT DIZZINESS IS

GOING TO GO AWAY IN THE NAME OF

JESUS. GOD WANTS TO DO SOMETHIN

MIGHTY IN YOUR LIFE. THANK YOU,

LORD.

SOMEONE IS DAMAGED THROUGH A

FALL OR SOME KIND OF ACCIDENT,

THE BRIDGE OF YOUR NOSE, AND

EVER SINCE THAT'S HAPPENED,

YOU'VE HAD ALMOST DAILY

MIGRAINES, JUST A SENSE OF A

BAND AROUND YOUR HEAD THAT'S SO

PRESSURED AND UNCOMFORTABLE.

GOD'S HEALING THAT RIGHT NOW, I

JESUS' NAME. FEEL IT JUST COME

OFF OF YOU, AND BE SET FREE.

THIS IS NOT A PHYSICAL

CONDITION, BUT THERE'S SOMEONE,

I BELIEVE IT'S A MAN WHO NEEDS

WISDOM FROM GOD, AND HE'S

NERVOUS OR FEARFUL OF ASKING GO

FOR WISDOM FOR HIS LIFE OR THE

DIRECTION HE SHOULD GO BECAUSE

HE FEELS LIKE HE'S JUST MADE SO

MANY MISTAKES AND DISHONORED GO

SO MUCH, HE HAS NO RIGHT TO ASK

IT. IN JAMES, ANY WISDOM, ASK

GOD FOR IT, HE WILL GIVE IT

FREELY, BUT DON'T DOUBT, GOD

WANTS TO GIVE US WISDOM. FOR

THIS MAN, HE WANTS TO IMPART

WISDOM UPON YOU. GET READY FOR

HIM TO SPEAK TO YOU NOW. IN

JESUS' NAME.

SOMEONE HAS A TAILBONE

INJURY, IT AFFECTS YOUR

MOBILITY, YOU'RE TOLD THERE'S

NOTHING MORE THAN THAT CAN BE

DONE. GOD HAS THE FINAL WORD.

YOU'RE BEING HEALED TODAY, IN

JESUS' NAME. UP YOUR HANDS AND

BEGIN TO PRAISE HIM AND THANK

HIM.

A MAN OR WOMAN IS OUT OF

REHAB FOR DRUGS AND ALCOHOL, A

SUBSTANCE ABUSE. YOU'RE BEYOND

ADDICTION, AND YOU'RE OUT. WHER

DO I GO NOW AND WHO DO I SPEAK

TO? THE NEXT IS JESUS. AND HE

JUST WANTS TO SAY FOCUS ON ME.

THE LORD SAYS THAT IS THE

DIRECTION, FOCUS ON THE FATHER,

AND HE WILL LEAD YOU, IN JESUS'

NAME. THANK YOU FOR THAT WORD O

COMFORT, LORD.

SOMEONE ELSE, YOU HAVE A

CONDITION THAT JUST KEEPS COMIN

UP WITH SPOTS, LIKE IT'S ON YOU

TONGUE, EVEN AROUND YOUR MOUTH

ON THE OUTSIDE. I DON'T REALLY

KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT GOD'S

HEALING THAT CONDITION FOR YOU

RIGHT NOW. YOU'LL BE ABLE TO

TASTE AGAIN. YOU'RE NOT GOING T

HAVE THE DISCOMFORT OF THAT, TH

PAIN OF THAT, IN JESUS' NAME, B

MADE WHOLE.

THERE WAS A COUPLE, A HUSBAN

AND WIFE WATCHING THAT MIRACLE

STORY AS THEY'RE IN THE E.R.,

AND THEIR FAITH WAS INSPIRED,

AND THE STORY IS CONCLUDED, AND

NOW WE'RE PRAYING. AND THEY'RE

STARTING TO FEEL THAT FAITH JUS

KIND OF GO DOWN A LITTLE BIT.

AND THE LORD WANTS TO SPEAK TO

YOU AND GET YOUR ATTENTION AGAI

AND SAY I AM WITH YOU. I AM WIT

YOUR CHILD. MY HOLY SPIRIT IS

PRESENT WITH YOU. I ASK FOR A

MUSTARD SEED OF FAITH. DON'T

LOSE SIGHT OF THE LORD IN THIS

SITUATION. HE IS POWERFUL. THAN

YOU, FATHER.

SOMETIMES GOD IS WORKING MOR

WHEN WE CAN'T SEE HIM AND DOING

THINGS THAT WE COULDN'T BEGIN T

UNDERSTAND TO ACCEPT. JUST

> K.C. DREAMED OF BECOMING A

MMA FIGHTER. HE TRAINED NEARLY

EVERYDAY, HE SPARRED WITH OTHER

PROFESSIONAL FIGHTERS, EVEN

MAKING SOME OF THEM TAP OUT.

STILL THERE WAS ONE FIGHT HE

COULDN'T WIN, AND IT NEARLY COS

HIM HIS MARRIAGE.

AS A MARRIED MAN, I HAD NO

BUSINESS BEING THERE, NONE. AND

I JUST FELT LUST. AND LUST IS

HEAVY. I ALWAYS USED TO JUDGE

DAVID UNTIL I BECAME HIM.

Reporter: K.C. MILES WAS A

CHAMPION HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLER

WITH A ROUGH PAST. DURING HIS

JUNIOR YEAR, HE FELL IN LOVE

WITH HIS CLASSMATE MELISSA WHO

WAS A DEVOUT CHRISTIAN.

WE BECAME FRIENDS FIRST AND

AT THE SAME TIME MY SPANISH

TEACHER INTRODUCED TO ME THE

BIBLE. HE STARTED READING ME

SCRIPTURE AND ASKING ME IF I

KNEW WHO JESUS WAS. SO I STARTE

DOING BIBLE STUDY WITH HIM, AND

MELISSA SAW THAT. AND THAT GAVE

HER SOME CONFIDENCE TO DATE ME.

THOSE SEEDS THAT WERE PLANTED I

ME BY MY SPANISH TEACHER WERE

VERY IMPORTANT.

Reporter: THEY GOT MARRIED

WHEN THEY WERE 19 YEARS OLD.

K.C. WRESTLED IN JUNIOR COLLEGE

THEN BEGAN TRAINING FOR MMA CAG

FIGHTING.

WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND AT

THAT STAGE IN OUR LIFE, FIGHTIN

WAS RELATIVELY NEW, SO I DIDN'T

KNOW REALLY WHAT TO EXPECT AS

FAR AS LIFESTYLE AND HOW IT

WOULD AFFECT OUR MARRIAGE.

I WANTED TO WIN. I WANTED TO

SHOW PEOPLE THAT I COULD WIN,

LIKE THE ROCK, I WANTED TO LIVE

THAT STORY. I WANTED TO GET IN

THAT CAGE, I WANTED TO FIGHT. I

WAS TAPPING PRO FIGHTERS. ONCE

SEEN THAT, I'M, LIKE, THIS IS

ME, I'M A FIGHTER.

Reporter: IN HIS HOMETOWN IN

CALIFORNIA, K.C. POURED HIMSELF

INTO MMA TRAINING NEARLY

EVERYDAY. ON THE WEEKENDS, HE

TRAINED IN LAS VEGAS WITH A GOA

OF FIGHTING IN THE UFC.

MY WRESTLING COACH, ROCKY, H

WARNED ME AGAINST TRAINING WITH

CERTAIN PEOPLE IN THE MMA. HE

TOLD ME HOW IT'LL CHANGE YOU.

AND HE MEANT MORALLY. THIS IS

WHEN THE BOMB STARTED FOR ME. I

DIDN'T KNOW HOW PROFESSIONAL

ATHLETES WERE. AND AT FIRST WHE

I WENT, MY HAND SHOOK VIOLENTLY

AND IT ONLY DID THAT THREE

TIMES. AND AFTER THE THIRD TIME

MY HAND DIDN'T SHAKE ANYMORE. I

KNEW IT WAS WRONG BEING IN

THERE, BUT IT WAS SO EXOTIC.

JUST SEEING ALL THAT, I'M, LIKE

WHAT THE HECK? I MEAN, THERE AR

ALL KINDS OF GIRLS, EVERY SHAPE

AND COLOR AND FLESH IS POWERFUL

ABSOLUTELY POWERFUL. THAT

TEMPTATION WAS HEAVY, HEAVY. AN

I DID NOT LIKE IT BECAUSE I KNE

IT WAS WRONG. EVERY TIME I LEFT

I LITERALLY LOOKED UP AND SAID

"I'M SORRY, GOD." I KNEW WHAT I

WAS DOING WAS WRONG, BUT I

COULDN'T STOP.

Reporter: BEFORE LONG, K.C.

GAVE INTO TEMPTATION AND BEGAN

HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH A DANCER.

MELISSA FOUND OUT WHAT WAS GOIN

ON AND WAS DEVASTATED.

I COULDN'T BEAR IT ANYMORE.

WAS CONSTANTLY SAD, DEPRESSED,

AND I JUST ASKED HIM TO CHOOSE.

YOU KNOW, HE WAS A FIGHTER, AND

I WANTED HIM TO FIGHT FOR US.

I WAS TRYING TO BIDE TIME

BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO GET ON

TO A FIRE SHOW, AND SHE WENT TO

THE BANK AND GOT HALF THE MONEY

OUT OF THE BANK ACCOUNT. AND SH

COMES HOME, AND SHE DIVVIES IT

OUT. AND SHE SAYS THERE IS NO

OTHER CHOICE. HALF OF THIS IS

YOURS. IF YOU WANT THAT LIFE,

GO. TAKE THIS MONEY AND LEAVE

YOUR RING, AND I'M WITHIN MY

RIGHT TO DIVORCE YOU.

AND WHEN SHE SAID THAT, IT

SCARED ME BECAUSE MELISSA IS

TRULY IN MY MIND THE ONLY PERSO

THAT LOVED ME UNCAN BELY. AND

THAT'S WHEN I CALLED UP MY

SPANISH TEACHER, AND I ASKED

HIM, WHAT DO I DO? HE SAID YOU

GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAY

TO GOD. I'M, LIKE, I DON'T HAVE

TIME FOR THIS CRAP. I HAD BECOM

SO EGOTISTAL, I DIDN'T HAVE TIM

FOR JESUS, IT WAS ALL ABOUT ME.

I WAS SO SELFISH. I WANTED TO B

IN THE WWC, I WANTED TO BE A

CHAMPION. HE CAME UP AND SHOWED

ME THAT'S WHO I WAS IN THE

BIBLE. I SAID, THAT'S NOT ME. H

SAID WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

PICKED MELISSA, I PICKED MY

WIFE. WHEN SHE CAME HOME FROM

WORK THAT DAY, SHE WAS STILL

HOME. SHE GOES, GOOD, NOW YOU'R

MOVING.

Reporter: K.C. MOVED IN WITH

HIS HIGH SCHOOL SPANISH TEACHER

AND AVOIDED OUTSIDE INFLUENCES

FROM THE MMA WORLD. INSTEAD, HE

BEGAN READING THE BIBLE.

WHEN I STARTED READING ABOUT

JESUS, THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE

THAT I WANTED. I WAS HOOKED FRO

THE VERY SECOND I OPENED THAT

BIBLE. I HAD NOTHING ELSE. THER

WAS NOTHING ELSE I COULD DO. I

WAS AT HOME, BUT I JUST WENT

INTO THE BIBLE, I WOULD JUST

LOOK UP, AND SAY, WHY DO YOU DO

THIS FOR US? I'M SELFISH. AND I

JUST STARTED FALLING IN LOVE

WITH JESUS. AND I JUST STARTED

TO MISS MY WIFE. AND I SPENT SI

MONTHS ALONE WITHOUT HER. AND

THAT'S WHEN I STARTED TO GROW

WITH THE LORD.

Reporter: MELISSA SAW THE

CHANGES TAKING PLACE IN K.C.'S

HEART AND CHARACTER.

HE WAS TURNING THE TABLES. H

WAS THINKING MORE ABOUT US AS A

COUPLE AND A MARRIAGE AND GOD'S

PLAN THAN HIS PLAN, THAN HIS OW

PLAN.

AS I GOT CLOSER TO JESUS, I

WAS GETTING CLOSER TO MELISSA.

WE WOULD READ BIBLES TOGETHER.

WE'D READ SCRIPTURE TOGETHER AN

WORK OUT TOGETHER. AND SHE

BECAME MY TRAINING PARTNER. SHE

BECAME MY BEST FRIEND. I FELL I

LOVE WITH MELISSA DIFFERENT. I

FELL IN LOVE WITH HER SOUL.

Reporter: K.C. COMMITTED HIS

LIFE TO CHRIST. THEY MOVED BACK

IN TOGETHER AND SOON AFTER

STARTED A FAMILY. TODAY THEIR

MARRIAGE IS SOLID WITH JESUS AS

THEIR FOUNDATION.

WE WERE JUST TOO YOUNG

PEOPLE. IT WAS LOVE, IT REALLY

WAS. BUT I WAS IN LOVE WITH

MYSELF TOO. NOW I'M IN LOVE WIT

HER AND NOT ME. AND THAT'S WHY

PICK THE CROSS AND CARRY IT, IT

MEANS I PICK HIM AND PICK YOUR

WIFE OVER YOURSELF.

GOD CAME IN, BACK INTO MY

LIFE, BACK INTO MY HUSBAND'S

LIFE, AND WE BOTH HAD TO REALLY

JUST TRUST AND RELY ON HIM AND

GROW IN HIM. AND I THINK THAT'S

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

IS HOW WE BOTH CHOSE TO STAY

TOGETHER AND GROW TOWARDS GOD.

I HAVE A GOOD LIFE, AND I

DON'T DESERVE IT. BUT I'M

GRATEFUL.

IFIOR MARRIAGE IS STRUGGLING

BE ENCOURAGED BY THAT WONDERFUL

TESTIMONY. LISTEN, K.C. WAS A

TOUGH DUDE, IN BRUTAL FIGHTS, A

TOUGH GUY WITH BIG GOALS. AND A

TOUGH AS HE WAS, HE

ACKNOWLEDGED, AND HE ADMITTED H

WAS NOT TOUGH ENOUGH TO OVERCOM

THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH. AND

THAT'S A STRUGGLE. IT IS REALLY

FOR OUR ENTIRE LIVES,

GLALARYIANS 5 TALKS ABOUT IT.

THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT,

THEY'RE IN COMBAT WITH EACH

OTHER. IT'S A WAR. AND YOU DON'

NEED TO BE FRIGHTENED OF THAT.

THERE'S HOPE IN CHRIST FOR SURE

BECAUSE THROUGH CHRIST THOSE

FLESHLY DESIRES ARE CRUCIFIED W

READ IN GALARYONS. BUT, NO, THI

IS GOING TO BE A THING IN OUR

LIVES, FIGHTING AGAINST THE

FLESH. BUT WHEN HE SURRENDERED

TO JESUS, NOT ONLY DID HE

CONQUER THESE THINGS, HE BECAME

A BETTER HUSBAND BECAUSE WHEN

YOU FOCUS ON JESUS, YOU BECOME

BETTER SPOUSE, THERE'S NO DOUBT

ABOUT IT. BUT I WAS SO STRUCK

WHEN K.C. SAID HE WENT INTO THI

CLUB, HE KNEW HE SHOULDN'T BE

THERE, AND HE WAS LITERALLY

TREMBLING, REMEMBER HE SAID

THAT? MY HAND WAS SHAKING

BECAUSE THE SPIRIT KNEW THIS WA

NOT FOR HIM. HIS SPIRIT WAS

DISTURBED. AND THAT'S A GOOD

THING WHEN YOUR SPIRIT SPEAKS

AND SAYS, NO. THAT'S THE SPIRIT

GOD IS SAYING, THIS IS NOT WHAT

I HAVE FOR YOU. AND HE FINALLY

BEGAN TO LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF

GOD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT AND SAY

I NEED TO SUBMIT THESE THINGS T

YOU. EVEN PAUL TALKED ABOUT IT

IN SCRIPTURE, OBVIOUSLY

DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES FOR

PAUL, THE APOSTLE, PAUL. BUT HE

SAID THE THINGS I WANT TO DO I

DON'T DO, AND THE THINGS I DON'

WANT TO DO I FIND MYSELF DOING.

SO THIS IS A NATURAL PART OF TH

HUMAN CONDITION. BUT THE GREAT

NEWS IS WHEN WE BRING THESE

THINGS UNDER THE SUBMISSION OF

JESUS, THE HOLY SPIRIT STEPS IN

IN A POWERFUL WAY AND BRINGS

THESE LUSTS UNDER CONTROL, UNDE

THE AUTHORITY OF CHRIST. AND HE

TAKES OUR SIN, AND HE MAKES US

CLEAN BECAUSE OF THE SACRIFICE

OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS. I WANT

TO PRAY FOR TWO THINGS IN JUST

COUPLE OF MINUTES HERE. I WANT

TO PRAY FOR MARRIAGES BRIEFLY

AND ALSO FOR THOSE OF YOU

STRUGGLING WITH A LUST PROBLEM.

MANY PEOPLE, MANY PEOPLE WHO

LOVE JESUS SUCCUMB TO THIS ISSU

OF LUST. SO I'M GOING TO PRAY

FOR THESE. IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING

WITH LUST, PRAY WITH ME. OR IF

YOU'RE IN A MARRIAGE 245 NEEDS

A TOUCH AND ANOINTING FROM THE

SPIRIT OF GOD, LET'S JUST GO

BEFORE THE LORD NOW. FATHER,

GOD, FIRST I PRAY FOR MARRIAGES

AND FOR HUSBANDS AND WIVES WHO

ARE STRUGGLING, LORD. I PRAY

YOUR HOLY SPIRIT WILL TEACH THE

TO GET THE PRIDE OUT OF THE WAY

AND JUST FOCUS ON JESUS, AND AS

WE LOVE OUR FIRST LOVE, JESUS

MORE, WE WILL BECOME BETTER

SPOUSES, FATHER. AND I PRAY FOR

THOSE STRUGGLING WITH LUST. THE

LUST OF THE FLESH. LORD, I PRAY

THEY HEAR YOUR VOICE TODAY AND

UNDERSTAND THE HOPE THAT'S IN

THE GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST. AND

NO MATTER HOW FILTHY DIRTY WE

FEEL WE ARE OR WE KNOW WE ARE,

WE'RE NEVER TOO FAR GONE, WE'RE

NEVER TOO DIRTY FOR THE LOVING

ARMS OF JESUS TO EMBRACE US,

ACCEPT US AND CHANGE US. AND,

LORD, GOD, I PRAY RIGHT NOW THA

THOSE STRUGGLING IN THESE AREAS

WILL JUST FEEL YOUR HOLY

SPIRIT'S LOVE UPON THEM IN A

POWERFUL AND MIGHTY WAY, AND

THEY STOP LISTENING TO THE VOIC

OF DARKNESS AND HEAR THE VOICE

OF GOD CLEARLY. THANK YOU FOR

THE HOPE, THE GRACE AND

FORGIVENESS FOUND AT THE CROSS

OF CHRIST. FOR THESE THINGS I

PRAY IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. I

WILL LET YOU KNO FOR ANY
