THERE FOR THEM.

TODAY, ON "THE 700 CLUB."

> HI, EVERYONE, WELCOME TO

THE 700 CLUB. ON! THE GOP

PRIMARY DEBATE IS HOURS AWAY. A

CANDIDATES WILL TAKE THE STAGE

TONIGHT, HOPING THEY WILL GRAB

THE SPOTLIGHT.

WHILE MISSING FROM THE PACK,

FRONT-RUNNER, DONALD TRUMP,

WHO IS SKIPPING THE EVENT, THAT

LEAVES THE TOP CONTENDERS TO GO

AFTER EACH OTHER. CBN NEWS '

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON, WITH MORE,

FROM MILWAUKEE.

Reporter: AMERICANS WILL SEE

THE TOP 2024 GOP CONTENDERS

SQUARING OFF AGAINST EACH

OTHER. EACH HOPES TO GRAB THE

NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT AND BREAK

AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE PACK.

-STAGE , VIVEK RAMASWAMY ,

RON DeSANTIS, ASA HUTCHINSON ,

WITH FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP

REFUSING TO ATTEND.

WHEN YOU ARE 40 POINTS OF,

WHY WOULD I LET THESE PEOPLE

TAKE SHOTS AT ME?

THE LATEST FOX NEWS POLL HAS

HIM IN THE LEAD WITH 53%. 22,

16%, AND POLITICAL NEWCOMER,

VIVEK RAMASWAMY, THIRD, 11%.

SINCE CANDIDATES ARE

POSITIONED ACCORDING TO THEIR

POLLING, THAT PUTS DeSANTIS

AND VIVEK RAMASWAMY IN CENTER

STAGE.

THANKS TO YOU GUYS, I WILL

BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT STAGE

TOMORROW TO KICK OFF THE REAL

SEASON OF THIS CAMPAIGN.

Reporter: IN AN UNUSUAL

MOVE, THE 38-YEAR-OLD POLITICAL

NEWCOMER HELD A WELCOME RALLY,

TUESDAY NIGHT, IN MILWAUKEE.

HE'S NOT AFRAID TO SPEAK.

EVERYBODY HAS BEEN THINKING

WHAT HE'S BEEN SAYING.

DEFINITELY, OTHERWISE I

WOULDN'T BE HERE.

Reporter: RNC REQUIRED ALL

CANDIDATES TO SIGN ITS " BEAT

BIDEN PLEDGE, " NOT

PARTICIPATING IN ANY DEBATE NOT

SANCTIONED BY THE GROUP. FORMER

PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS NOT SIGNED

THE PLEDGE AND HAS NO FUTURE

PLANS TO PARTICIPATE IN

DEBATES. WITHOUT TRUMP HERE,

CANDIDATES WILL TRY AND STAND

OUT AS THE NUMBER-ONE

ALTERNATIVE TO THE

FRONT-RUNNER. MEANWHILE, AN

INTERVIEW BETWEEN THE FORMER

PRESIDENT AND TUCKER CARLSON

WILL REPORTEDLY BE RELEASED

TONIGHT AROUND THE SAME TIME AS

THE DEBATE.

ABIGAIL, THANKS FOR JOINING

US TODAY. THERE ARE SIX

CANDIDATES ON-STAGE AT 5% OR

LESS IN THE POLLS. HOW WILL

THEY BREAK OUT OF THE PACK, DO

YOU EXPECT ANY FIREWORKS THIS

EVENING TO MARK

Reporter: I DEFINITELY

EXPECT FIREWORKS, BUT , AN ONE

THING I WOULD SAY ON THAT IS

THEY ARE POLLING AT MANY

NATIONAL POLLS LESS THAN 5%,

BUT IS HUMAN, AND THERE'S A

DIFFERENT STORY. IOWA, SENATOR

TIM SCOTT FOR EXAMPLE, HE'S

BEEN ON A STEADY CLIMB IN IOWA.

HE'S COMING IN JUST BEHIND RON

DeSANTIS AND MANY OF THE POLLS

WERE SHOWING HIS NUMBERS DROP

IN IOWA. IN NEW HAMPSHIRE,

GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE HAS

ACTUALLY ECLIPSED DeSANTIS FOR

SECOND PLACE. RIGHT NOW,

TONIGHT IS REALLY ABOUT NAME

RECOGNITION. A LOT OF THE

POLLS RIGHT NOW ARE REALLY

REFLECTING, I THINK, CANDIDATES

WHO HAVE A LOT OF NATIONAL NAME

RECOGNITION, AND I DO THINK WE

WILL SEE SOME SHAKEUPS IN THESE

POLL NUMBERS AS AMERICANS ,

SOME FOR THE FIRST TIME, ARE

HEARING SOME OF THESE

CANDIDATES SPEAK AND GETTING TO

KNOW THEM. I FEEL LIKE THIS

SUMMER A LOT OF THEM HAVE NOT

BEEN VERY CLICKED INTO THESE

CAMPAIGNS. BUT WE HAVE HAD AN

UNOFFICIAL KICKOFF.

NOTICEABLY ABSENT, DONALD

TRUMP, WITH DeSANTIS AND VIVEK

RAMASWAMY THE TOP CONTENDERS,

REMARKABLE A FORMER PRESIDENT

WILL NOT ATTEND WILL RON

DeSANTIS AND VIVEK GO AFTER

EACH OTHER?

Reporter:

DEFINITELY, DeSANTIS HAS

BEEN THE CHOICE, AND OTHER

CANDIDATES HAVE BEEN PREPPING

THEIR ATTACKS AGAINST DeSANTIS.

TRENCH ONE HAS BEEN GAINING

ATTENTION. I'VE BEEN HEARING

PEOPLE WHO ARE HEARING HIM

REALLY LIKE HIM, AND I EXPECT A

LOT OF CANDIDATES ARE GOING TO

TAKE SHOTS AT HIM. THERE WAS A

LEAKED MEMO THAT WAS REPORTEDLY

SET FOR RON DeSANTIS, WHO HAS

DISTANCED HIMSELF, BUT IT LAID

OUT STRATEGY FOR DeSANTIS TO

ATTACK VIVEK. NIKKI HALEY HAS

QUESTIONED HIS VIEWS ON ISRAEL

AND REDUCING US SUPPORT TO

ISRAEL. I THINK WE ARE GOING TO

SEE MIKE PENCE MAKE SOME

COMMENTS ABOUT , IN INTERVIEW,

HE RAISED SOME CONSPIRACIES

ABOUT 9/11. TONIGHT COULD BE A

GREAT NIGHT FOR RAMASWAMY, IF

HE HOLDS HIS OWN, OR, WE COULD

START TO SEE THE FLAME BURNED

OUT IF HE DOESN'T HAVE ANSWERS

TO SOME OF THE ATTACKS THE

OTHER CANDIDATES ARE SURE TO

SEND HIS WAY.

IT WILL BE AN INTERESTING

NIGHT. THAT ABIGAIL ROBERTSON

IN MILWAUKEE FOR THE GOP BAIT.

WE APPRECIATE HER JOINING US.

> PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL , THE

DAY AFTER THE DEBATE, TURNED

HIMSELF IN FOR PROCESSING AT AN

ATLANTA JAIL. MORE FROM THE CBN

NEWSROOM WITH GEORGE. GEORGE?

HELLO, EVERYONE. AS YOU

SAID, ESTHER TRUMP WILL

SURRENDER HIMSELF IN GEORGIA,

TO FACE CHARGES RELATED TO THE

2020 ELECTION AND HIS ALLEGED

EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THOSE

RESULTS. THE JUDGE IN THE CASE

HAS SET TRUMP'S BOND AT

$200,000. THE GOP FRONT-RUNNER

WILL HAVE TO PAY 10% WHEN HE

ROSE SURRENDERS . BY THE WAY,

SOME OF HIS 18 CODEFENDANTS

HAVE ALREADY TURNED THEMSELVES

IN. ATTORNEY JOHN EASTMAN,

ALLEGED ARCHITECT OF THE PLAN,

BUT BOOKED ON TUESDAY.

> US JOINS CHIEF OF STAFF IS

VISITING ISRAEL. THE HEAD OF

ISRAEL DEFENSE FORCES , IN TEL

AVIV, AS A FAREWELL VISIT AS

THE GENERAL'S FOUR-YEAR TERM

ENDS TODAY. HIS TIME WAS

MARKED BY UNPRECEDENTED JOINT

OPERATIONS BETWEEN OUR TWO

NATIONS. THIS , AMID GROWING

CONCERNS POLITICAL DIVISIONS

ARE WEAKENING ISRAEL'S MILITARY

READINESS. SOME ARE

THREATENING NOT TO TAKE PART

IN DRILLS OVER THE GOVERNMENT'S

ATTEMPTS TO REFORM THE

JUDICIAL SYSTEM. CBN MIDDLE

EAST CORRESPONDENT JULIE STAHL

REPORTS ON THE IMPACT THIS

COULD HAVE ON ISRAEL'S NATIONAL

SECURITY.

Reporter: AS PART OF THE

PROTESTS, THOUSANDS OF IDF

RESERVISTS ARE THREATENING TO

REFUSE SERVING, AT A TIME WHEN

TENSIONS BET

HEZBOLLAH ARE ON THE RISE.

HEZBOLLAH LEADERS HAVE MARKED

THAT THEY SEE AS ISRAEL'S

INTERNAL WEAKNESS, STEMMING

FROM MONTHS OF PROTEST

INCLUDING FROM WITHIN THE

MILITARY. IT'S INSPIRED THE

IRANIAN BACKED GROUP TO RAISE

TENSIONS ALONG ISRAEL'S BORDER

WITH LEBANON.

SO WHAT WE FEEL THERE IS AN

ATTACK FROM INSIDE, AND WE FEEL

IT IS MUCH MOE DANGEROUS THAN

ANY OTHER TECH.

Reporter: LIEUTENANT

COLONEL, HELPS THE BROTHERS IN

ARMS, AND BEGAN PROTESTING THIS

POLICY IN FEBRUARY. SO FOR

THOUSANDS OF MILITARY

RESERVISTS INCLUDING SENIOR

OFFICERS AND PILOTS ARE

JOINING THE ORGANIZATION'S

PLEDGE TO REFUSE MILITARY

RESERVE DUTY.

ISRAEL'S DEFENSE IS BUILT

ON SPIRIT, AND THIS SPIRIT IS

BEING TORN APART .

Reporter: RESPONSE, ISRAEL

REMAINS PREPARED FOR ANY

MILITARY CHALLENGE.

Translator: DAYS IN THIS

CRISIS ACQUIRE WHAT WE HAVE IN

COMMON AND WHAT UNITES US,

DEFENDING THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

Reporter: CERTAIN EXPERTS

BLAME CROSSING A LINE THAT

SHOULD NOT BE CROSSED. RESERVE

BRIGADIER GENERAL AVIV SAYS

WHILE SOME HAVE REFUSED TO

SERVE IN THE PAST, HE SAYS THIS

IS DIFFERENT.

CHIEF OF STAFF'S, GENERALS,

BACKING UP THIS IDEA, IT IS

UNBELIEVABLE. IT IS AGAINST

OUR VALUES .

A FORMER COMMANDER IN

NORTHERN ISRAEL, FEARS

HEZBOLLAH COULD TRY TO TAKE

ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION AND

MAKE A FOOLISH MOVE.

IT'S NOT JUST THAT, THEY

SAY THESE ISRAELIS ARE CRAZY,

THEY ARE FIGHTING EACH OTHER,

THEIR GOVERNMENTS HAVE NO

ATTENTION TO DEAL WITH OTHER

SECURITY ISSUES. THAT

OPPORTUNITY, LET'S USE IT.

THE ARMY TO REALLY

INCLUDES SOME 16,000

RESERVISTS AND SECURITY

OPERATIVES SAYS ONE GOOD SIGN

IS THAT MORE ISRAELI GENERALS

ARE JOINING HIM IN HIS FIGHT.

SAYING THEY ARE FED UP AND

WANT TO AND LOVE FOR THE

COUNTRY, I BELIEVE THAT THE

END OF THE DAY THIS IS WHAT WE

WIN.

JULIE STAHL, NEWS, THE

ISRAEL-LEBANON BORDER.

INCREDIBLE TO SEE THIS

DIVISION . AS YOU KNOW, THE

MILITARY IS VALUED AND SEEN IN

SUCH HIGH ESTEEM. TO SEE THIS

DIVISION IS QUITE INCREDIBLE.

YEAH, GEORGE. THEY SAY THEY

ICU. ON TAMARA'S 700 CLUB.

> STAY CONNECTED WITH CBN

NEWS ALL DAY ACROSS OUR

PLATFORMS.

> CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES FAIL

AT NEARLY THE SAME RATE AS

OTHER MARRIAGES. STILL, VERY

FEW CHURCHES ARE EQUIPPED TO

HELP COUPLES DEAL WITH THE

CHALLENGES. THERE IS SOME GOOD

NEWS. ONE MINISTRY IS HELPING

TO REVERSE THIS TREND. WENDY

GRIFFITH HAS THE STORY.

HER HEART IS THE PUREST,

MOST KIND PERSON I'VE EVER MET

IN MY LIFE, AND BOY, DID I NEED

THAT AND GOT TO BLESS ME AND

PUT HER IN FRONT OF ME.

AND, TAMMY, WHAT DO YOU LOVE

ABOUT MIKE,

EVERYTHING. HE'S AMAZING. HE

IS MY KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR.

I LOVE THE WAY HE CHERISHES ME

AND THINKS OF ME. I AM A

PRIORITY.

Reporter: IT SOUNDS LIKE A

NEARLY PERFECT MARRIAGE, AN

ACHIEVEMENT THAT HAS TAKEN HARD

WORK TO MAINTAIN COULD THEIR

LOVE STORY BEGAN 30 YEARS AGO

AS HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS, BUT

AFTER GRADUATION, THEY WENT

THEIR SEPARATE WAYS, MARRIED

OTHER PEOPLE, AND THEN GOT

DIVORCED. FACEBOOK HELP THEM

FIND EACH OTHER AGAIN, A

CONNECTION THAT LED TO

MARRIAGE, AND AFTER FOUR YEARS

TOGETHER THEY DON'T PLAN TO

MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES THEY

MADE IN THEIR FIRST GO

AROUND'S.

OUR PREVIOUS MARRIAGES WERE

NOT CHRIST-CENTERED AND CAUSED

SO MANY ISSUES, CONFLICTS,

LACK OF COMMUNICATION, AND

ULTIMATELY APATHY. WE KNEW WE

WANTED CHRIST IN OUR MARRIAGE.

THE QUESTION WAS, HOW DO YOU DO

THAT?

Reporter: IT WAS A WAY TO

ANSWER THE QUESTION AND

ULTIMATELY SAVE MARRIAGES, WITH

THEIR GROUP.

CHURCHES LACK SUBSEQUENT

MARRIAGE MINISTRY. 85% OF ALL

CHURCHES IN THE UNITED STATES

REPORT SPENDING ZERO DOLLARS

ANNUALLY ON MARRIAGE AND

RELATIONSHIP MINISTRY. ZERO.

THE NUMBER GETTING MARRIED

EACH YEAR HAS DROPPED 61%

SINCE THE YEAR 19 7331% SINCE

THE YEAR 2000. THE NUMBER OF

PEOPLE GETTING DIVORCED IS

STILL TOO HIGH, AND THE CHURCH

HAS NOT GOTTEN STRATEGICALLY

ENGAGED IN RENEWING MARRIAGE IN

THE FAMILY. WE ARE STILL

BEHAVING LIKE IT IS THE 1950s.

Reporter: 'S MISSION IS TO

SAVE MARRIAGES, INCLUDING

EQUIPPING CHURCHES WITH

RESOURCES AND TOOLS THEY NEED

TO FOSTER AND NURTURE HEALTHY

RELATIONSHIPS.

WE WANT TO BE DATA

INFORMED. WE WANT TO COME

ALONGSIDE THE CHURCH, OBSERVE

WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE

COMMUNITY IN ORDER TO DESIGN A

MINISTRY THAT IS CUSTOMIZED FOR

THE CHURCH.

THANKS IN TO THE MINISTER'S

INFLUENCE, MIKE AND TAMMY SAW

PREMARITAL COUNSELING AS A

SAFEGUARD BUT DIDN'T STOP

THERE. AFTER TAKING THEIR VOWS

THEY SIGNED UP FOR A MARRIAGE

CLASS AT THEIR CHURCH CALLED

UNDIVIDED, WHERE THEY

DISCOVERED THE TRUE MEANING OF

HAVING JESUS AT THE CENTER OF

THEIR RELATIONSHIP.

A CHRIST-CENTERED MARRIAGE

IS A MARRIAGE WHERE YOU LOVE

YOUR SPOUSE THE WAY THAT JESUS

LOVED US. JESUS LOVED THE

CHURCH , JESUS LOVED ISRAEL,

HIS BRIDE, UNCONDITIONALLY ,

THROUGH SACRIFICE, THROUGH

LOVE, AND HONOR, AND CHERISH.

THAT IS HOW WE ARE CALLED TO

LOVE OUR SPOUSE. SHE PUTS ME

FIRST, I PUT HER FIRST.

TAMMY AND MIKE LEAD A CLASS

EACH WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT THEIR

FORT WORTH CHURCH WITH A FOCUS

ON EVERYTHING FROM CONFLICT

RESOLUTION TO LEARNING EACH

OTHER'S LOVE LANGUAGES, TO

HOSTING DATE NIGHTS WITH THREE

CHILDCARE.

IT'S REALLY COOL TO SEE WHAT

THE CLASS DOES FOR PEOPLE.

I HAVE HAD PEOPLE THAT WERE

ON THE VERGE OF DIVORCE, LIVING

SEPARATELY, WHO HADN'T TALKED

TO EACH OTHER IN A YEAR .

SLOWLY AND SURELY THEY KEEP

COMING BACK, AND THEY ARE

HOLDING HANDS, THEN THEY ARE

TALKING. NOW THEY ARE MOVING

BACK IN TOGETHER.

MANY PEOPLE WOULD NOT

OTHERWISE ABOUT THEIR CHURCH'S

PROGRAMS.

THE AMOUNT OF WORK THEY

HAVE DONE WITHIN OUR MARRIAGE

MINISTRY, AS FAR AS TO MARKET

THE PROGRAM AND TALK TO THE

RIGHT PEOPLE AND GATHER THE

RIGHT DATA ON WHERE WE CAN BEST

FOCUS OUR EFFORTS FOR MARRIAGE

MINISTRY.

WHEN YOU GO TO THOSE DATE

NIGHTS YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE SO

MANY PEOPLE THERE THAT ARE NOT

IN OUR CHURCH.

IT'S AMAZING.

THEY ARE REALLY BRINGING

EXTRA, NEW PEOPLE COME INTO OUR

CHURCH.

WOULD YOU GO AS FAR AS TO

SAY IS A MARRIAGE,

I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT, I

WOULD.

> WHEN THEY FOUND EACH OTHER

AGAIN AND MARRIED SIX YEARS

AGO UNRESOLVED ISSUES NEARLY

TORE THEM APART.

I SEE SOME TEARS. WHAT ARE

YOU THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW?

JUST KIND OF RELIVING SOME

OF IT. AND IT KIND OF ALWAYS

AFFECTS ME. BUT, IT'S USUALLY

IN A GOOD WAY.

Reporter: THANKS TO A

MARRIAGE MASTER CLASS THAT

FOCUSED ON FORGIVENESS THE

COUPLE IS BACK ON-TRACK.

'S GOT TO TRY EVERYTHING YOU

CAN. YOU KNOW, GOD IS NOT A FAN

OF DIVORCE. AND I THINK IN OUR

SOCIETY TODAY IT'S TOO EASY TO

JUST SAY I'M DONE, I'M LEAVING.

TAKE THE TIME, INVEST IN THIS

COURSE, GO THROUGH IT, BECAUSE

IT IS LIFE-CHANGING IN

MARRIAGE.

I QUICKLY FIGURED OUT IF

YOUR MARRIAGE IS IN A DUMPSTER

FIRE IT'S REALLY HARD TO

DISCIPLE YOUR CHILDREN.

PASTOR SARAH OF DENVER,

COLORADO, HAS BEEN MARRIED FOR

28 YEARS AND HAS FOUR

CHILDREN, INCLUDING THREE WHO

WERE ADOPTED. SHE SAYS IT'S

IMPORTANT TO INVEST IN YOUR

MARRIAGE AT EVERY STAGE.

YOUR MARRIAGE IS YOUR

NUMBER-ONE RELATIONSHIP OUTSIDE

OF GOD, AND YOU GOT TO INVEST

IN IT, YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP IT

HEALTHY AND STRONG, SO YOU CAN

SUPPORT YOUR CHILDREN AND PASS

ON THE FAITH.

Reporter: CHRISTIANS NEED TO

PURSUE HEALTHY MARRIAGES NOW

MORE THAN EVER, NOT JUST FOR

THEMSELVES, BUT FOR FUTURE

GENERATIONS.

IT DOES LOOK LIKE GOD HAS

MADE THE FAMILY, MARRIAGE IN

PARTICULAR, AN ESSENTIAL

INGREDIENT, FOR ADVANCING THE

CHRISTIAN FAITH. AND THAT'S

CLEAR, THROUGH SCRIPTURE. AND

IT'S IMPORTANT FOR CHURCHES NOT

TO WALK AWAY FROM THAT.

WENDY GRIFFIS, NEWS.

HEALTHY MARRIAGES LEAD TO

A HEALTHY CHURCH, AND WE WILL

REPRESENT THE LORD WILL. IT'S

INTERESTING. TOWARD THOSE IN

SIN, THOSE WHO NEED TO FIND

THE LORD AND WERE INTENTIONAL ,

YET THOSE IN THE CHURCH

SOMETIMES DON'T GET

VULNERABLE, OURS , WE HAVE

THESE MASKS . WE NEED TO TAKE

THEM DOWN. THERE ARE CHRISTIAN

COUPLES WHO PUT ON MASKS,

THEY DON'T TALK TO EACH OTHER

IN THE CAR. THE CHURCH NEEDS TO

GET REAL ABOUT MARRIAGE AND HOW

IMPORTANT IT IS FOR A HEALTHY

CHURCH. AND SO IF YOU ARE A

GOOD RELATIONSHIP, IF YOU CAN

HELP PEOPLE, CONSIDER BEING A

MENTOR IN YOUR CHURCH TO HELP

PEOPLE WITH WHAT A GODLY

MARRIAGE IS, WHAT ARE THE

CHALLENGES, MARRIAGE IS A

WONDERFUL THING. WE CAN BE

AMBASSADORS FOR GOD. THANK YOU

FOR THAT STORY. AS A SINGLE

PERSON, WHAT DID YOU THINK

WATCHING THAT?

EVERYTHING YOU SAID I HAVE

TO SAY YES AND AMEN TO. HEALTHY

MARRIAGES DEFORM HEALTHY

FAMILIES AND HEALTHY CHURCHES.

AND I LOVE WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT,

IF YOU ARE IN A HEALTHY

MARRIAGE, BE WILLING TO GIVE

BACK, AND TO HELP OTHER YOUNGER

COUPLES, WHETHER THEY ARE

DATING, OR ENGAGED, OR EVEN IN

MARRIAGE. AND I LOVE SOMETHING

THAT OBVIOUSLY I SUPPORT

PREMARITAL COUNSELING

ABSOLUTELY, BUT I THINK THERE

IS SOMETHING TO PRE-ENGAGEMENT

COUNSELING AS WELL. I KNOW

SOME INDIVIDUALS AND PASTORS

WHO RECOMMEND THAT. I THINK

IT'S GREAT TOO. PRE-ENGAGEMENT

COUNSELING. OBVIOUSLY TO THE

PREMARITAL SORT OF THING, BUT I

THINK PRE-ENGAGEMENT IS GOOD,

TOO. YOU HAVE TO GET IT OUT,

TALK ABOUT THE IMPORTANT

THINGS, AND IF MARRIAGE IS WHAT

GOD INTENDS FOR YOU.

MEN AND WOMEN, HUSBAND AND

WIFE, THEY ARE DIFFERENT AND

HAVE DIFFERENT EXPECTATIONS,

AND DOES CHANGE OVER THE YEARS.

EXPECTED YOU ENJOY PREMARITAL

COUNSELING?

YEAH, FOR THE MOST PART, IT

WAS VERY VALUABLE.

AWESOME.

AVAILABLE NOW FOR A GIFT OF ANY

DOLLAR AMOUNT.

> AUGUST 13th, 2011, THAT IS

THE DAY THAT THOMAS McDORR'S

LIFE CHANGED IN AN INSTANT.

ONE MOMENT HE WAS ENJOYING

ACTIVITIES AT THE INDIANA STATE

FAIR , THEN HE WAS SURROUNDED

BY PEOPLE COLLAPSING AND

SCREAMING .

I HAD NEVER EVEN BEEN TO A

FUNERAL FOR, I HAD NEVER BEEN

AROUND DEATH OR TRAUMA . JUST

A MATTER OF SECONDS I WAS

COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY IT.

I WAS IN THE GRANDSTANDS

WITH MY FIANC÷ WHEN THE STAGE

CAME DOWN AND CRASHED ON THE

CROWD BELOW IT. I JUMPED FROM

MY SEAT. I TOLD MY FIANC÷ TO

STAY PUT AND REACHED DOWN TO

HELP THOSE WHO HAD BEEN CRUSHED

UNDERNEATH THE STAGE BUT THE

FIRST PERSON I GOT TO, SOMEBODY

STARTED DOING CPR ON THAT

PERSON. AND THEY WERE DECEASED.

I JUST KEPT GOING FROM PERSON

TO PERSON, TRYING TO HELP WHERE

I COULD . THE FIRST SEVERAL

PEOPLE THAT I GOT TO TO HELP

HER DID. AND I FOUND A YOUNG

KID WAITING FOR MY HEAD WOUND.

I TOOK MY SHIRT OFF AND HELPED

BANDAGE HIS HEAD. IT WAS A LOT

OF PEOPLE RUNNING , SCREAMING,

PEOPLE ON THE GROUND INJURED.

IT WAS CHAOTIC. PEOPLE WERE

COLLAPSING AND CRYING OUT TO

GOD. SO I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW

WHAT TO DO. SO I STARTED

HOLDING HANDS WITH PEOPLE AND

PRAYING. SOME PEOPLE THAT WERE

INJURED, BUT NOT TOO SERIOUS TO

GO ON THE AMBULANCE STAYED AND

PRAYED WITH THEM. THAT NIGHT

WHEN I WENT TO BED I WAS AWAKE

EVERY HOUR WITH NIGHTMARES.

WITH IMAGES OF THE PEOPLE THAT

HAVE DIED , NIGHTMARES OF THE

STAGE FALLING ON ME. I WAS NOT

ABLE TO SLEEP . THE NEXT

MORNING WAS A SUNDAY , AND I

WENT TO CHURCH GOOD I WAS

TIRED, I WAS SHOCKED, I WAS

NUMB, AND I REMEMBER TALKING TO

GOD THAT MORNING DURING THE

WORSHIP SERVICE AND SANG JUST,

LIKE, I CAN'T. I CAN'T HANDLE

THIS. AND I NEED YOU TO HELP

ME. THE BEST WAY I CAN

DESCRIBE IT WOULD BE LIKE BEING

WRAPPED IN A WARM BLANKET, AND

JUST FELT THE PRESENCE OF GOD .

I JUST FELT A WEIGHT COME OFF

OF ME THAT MORNING IN THAT

SERVICE. AND I FELT LIKE GOD

HAD REALLY DONE SOMETHING GOOD

FROM THAT MOMENT I HAVE NEVER

HAD ANY FIT OF NIGHTMARES OR

ACUTE STRESS SYMPTOMS OR PTSD.

SO, AFTER THE INDIANA STATE

FAIR STAGE COLLAPSE, I WENT ON

TO GRADUATE FROM BIBLE COLLEGE.

ONCE I GOT BACK BEHIND THE

PULPIT I DIDN'T FEEL FULFILLED

DOING THAT TYPE OF MINISTRY. IT

WAS ABOUT FIVE YEARS , BOUNCING

AROUND FROM MINISTRY TO

MINISTER, TR

WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO, WHAT

GOD WANTED ME TO DO FOR HIS

KINGDOM. THROUGH A LOT OF

SEARCHING I HAPPENED TO STUMBLE

UPON HOSPITAL CHAPLAINCY. I DID

MY INTERNSHIP AT A LEVEL ONE

LOCAL TRAUMA CENTER. I WAS PUT

IN ROOMS WITH TRAUMA PATIENTS

THAT REMINDED ME OF THE PEOPLE

I HAD SEEN AT THE STATE FAIR.

THE FIRST WEEK OF BEING IN THE

HOSPITAL, IT CLICKED FOR ME,

AND I FELT CONFIRMATION, IT

FELT RIGHT, LIKE I WAS DOING

WHAT GOD WANTED ME TO DO, BUT

I ALSO FELT LIKE I WAS MAKING A

DIFFERENCE. I'M DEALING WITH

PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING INTO

THE EMERGENCY ROOM FROM A CAR

ACCIDENT, FROM A SHOOTING, FROM

A FALL, OR A VARIETY OF WAYS

PEOPLE CAN ACCIDENTALLY GET

INJURED. WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT

TRAUMA PATIENTS IS THAT FOR THE

MOST PART LIFE WAS COMPLETELY

NORMAL ONE MOMENT, AND IN A

MATTER OF SECONDS, THEIR LIFE

HAS COMPLETELY BEEN CHANGED.

IT'S VERY SHOCKING. IT'S

TRAUMATIC. ONE MYSELF OR

ANOTHER CHAPLAIN MEETS THEM IN

THE TRAUMA BAY AT THE HOSPITAL,

WE ARE THERE TO PROVIDE THE

EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL SUPPORT

IF NEEDED. WE ARE REALLY

TRYING TO TALK TO THE PATIENT

AND REALLY NORMALIZE THEIR

FEELINGS AND EXPERIENCE. I

THINK THERE'S NO BETTER WAY TO

SHOW LOVE FOR PEOPLE THAN BY

BEING FOR THEM ON THEIR DARKEST

DAYS. I WOULD NEVER HAVE

IMAGINED 10, 11 YEARS AGO,

DOING WORK IN A HOSPITAL. IT

HAS TURNED INTO SO MUCH MORE

THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED.

THAT SHIFTED MY LIFE AND PUT

ME ON THE PATH TO TOUCH THE

LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.

I LOVE THIS STORY. IT'S SUCH

A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW GOD DOES

NOT WASTE ANYTHING. THE GOOD.

THE BED. THE UGLY. ALL OF THE

TRAUMATIC THINGS YOU HAVE

EXPERIENCED, ALL OF THE REALLY

GOOD THINGS THAT YOU HAVE

EXPERIENCED, GOD WILL USE IT

ALL TO DIRECT YOUR PATH . FOR

THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING THIS,

AND YOU MAY JUST BE ASKING THE

LORD AFTER WATCHING THOMAS'

STORE, GOD, I WANT TO KNOW MY

PURPOSE, I WANT TO KNOW MY

CALLING, BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T

KNOW WHAT IT IS, I WANT TO

ENCOURAGE YOU, MY FRIENDS. WE

ALL ARE CALLED TO BE IMAGE

BEARERS OF GOD. THAT IS OUR

FIRST AND FOREMOST CALLING IS

MINISTERING TO GOD.

RECOGNIZING THAT BEYOND WHAT WE

DO FOR A LIVING, WE ARE FIRST

AND FOREMOST CALLED TO BE IN

RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR HEAVENLY

FATHER. I LOVE WHAT THE APOSTLE

PAUL SAYS IN SECOND CORINTHIANS

5, 19: -20. WE ARE ACTUALLY

CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS, AND THAT

GOD HIMSELF MAKES HIS APPEAL

TO THE WORLD THROUGH US . SO,

LET'S , OFTEN TIMES WE GET IT

WRONG. WE ASK GOD, WHAT YOU

WANT ME TO DO? WHAT IS IT YOU

WANT ME TO DO SPECIFICALLY? I

BELIEVE GOD WANTS US TO FIRST

RECOGNIZE, I JUST WANT YOU TO

BE, BE MY SON, BE MY DAUGHTER,

HAVE THAT REVELATION OF HOW

MUCH I LOVE AND ADORE YOU.

RECOGNIZING THAT FIRST, MY

FRIEND, HELPS US RECOGNIZE WHAT

HE ACTUALLY WANTS US TO DO IN

THIS LIFE AS A SON OR DAUGHTER.

WE HAVE DIFFERENT GIFTS,

TALENTS, AND DESIRES. HE'S PUT

ALL THOSE THINGS INSIDE US FOR

A PURPOSE. FIRST AND FOREMOST,

THE, LET US LOVE THE LORD OUR

GOD WITH ALL OUR HEART, ALL OF

OUR SOUL, ALL OF OUR STRENGTH.

AND THEN FROM THAT

RELATIONSHIP, FROM THAT LOVE,

HE WILL DIRECT YOUR PATH. HE'S

NOT GOING TO LEAVE YOU. HE'S

NOT GOING TO FORSAKE YOU.

LIKE, GOD, I JUST EXPERIENCED

THIS REALLY TRAUMATIC THING ,

AND GOD DIDN'T JUST LEAVE HIM

THERE, HE HEALED HIM AND SAID

NO, I'M ACTUALLY USING THIS, A

PART OF YOUR STORY, I AM

ACTUALLY GOING TO GLORIFY MY

NAME TO THIS EXPERIENCE, AND

FOR YOUR CALLING WHAT I'VE

ASKED YOU TO DO. SO IF YOU ARE

WATCHING THIS, AND YOU HAVE

BEEN WONDERING, AGAIN, WHAT

YOU'RE CALLING, WHAT YOUR

PURPOSE IS, LET'S PRAY RIGHT

NOW. LET'S GO TO OUR HEAVENLY

FATHER AND ASK AND LEAVE AND

COME BACK TO THIS REALIZATION

THAT NO, GOD, I'M SORRY FOR

THINKING SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT

EXACTLY IT IS YOU WANT ME TO

DO. BUT, LET ME BE IN RIGHT

RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU FIRST.

LET ME HAVE THAT REVELATION. I

WANT TO RECEIVE THAT

REVELATION, THAT I AM A SON

FIRST, AND I AM A DAUGHTER

FIRST, AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS

SECOND. LET'S PRAY RIGHT NOW.

HEAVENLY FATHER, I JUST LIFT UP

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO

MIGHT BE WATCHING THIS AND

JUST, THEY HAVE BEEN CRYING OUT

TO YOU. THEY HAVE BEEN ASKING

GOD WHAT IS IT, GOD WHAT IS IT,

THAT YOU HAVE CALLED ME TO DO?

FIRST RIGHT NOW, LORD, WE

REPAINT REPENT FROM HAVING OUR

FOCUS NOT TRULY BEING ON YOU

AND BEING A SON AND DAUGHTER

FIRST. HEAVENLY FATHER, I JUST

PRAY FOR A DEEPER REVELATION OF

THEIR IDENTITY IN YOU AS AN

AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST, AS A

MINISTER OF RECONCILIATION.

AND FATHER, NOW I PRAY THAT YOU

JUST REVEALED TO THEM WHAT YOU

ARE CALLING THEM TO, WHETHER IT

IS MINISTRY OR IT'S BEGINNING A

STAY AT HOME PARENT, OR BEING A

CONTRACTOR OR BUSINESS MAN, OR

A TEACHER OR LAWYER. WHATEVER

IT IS, GOD, I BELIEVE YOU HAVE

A PURPOSE AND DESTINY FOR EACH

PERSON. YOU DO NOT WANT TO

WASTE THEIR GIFTS AND TALENTS.

PUT THEM INSIDE THEM FOR EVERY

SIN. SO I PRAY AS THEY GET

CLOSER TO YOU, AS THEY JUST

FALL DEEPER AND DEEPER IN LOVE

AND IN RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH

YOU, FATHER, THAT THOSE THINGS

JUST COME NATURALLY, THAT IT'S

JUST AN EASY PATH. YOU'RE

MAKING IT EASY. YOU ARE MAKING

THE WAY STRAIGHT AND CLEAR FOR

THEM, BECAUSE YOU ARE THEIR

GOOD SHEPHERD. I THINK BACK

YOU FOR THIS, FATHER. AND WE

PRAISE YOUR NAME JESUS. AND WE

ASK ALL OF THESE THINGS IN YOUR

NAME, LORD, IN JESUS' NAME,

AMEN, AND ADMIN. AND FRIENDS,

IF YOU NEED PRAYER,

CONTINUOUSLY FOR THIS

SITUATION, YOU JUST WANT MORE

REVELATION, OR YOU JUST NEED

PRAYER, PLEASE CALL

HEART, AND THESE REALLY WORKS.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING A

LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

> ASIDE OF ANDREW AND ME YOU

HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

HEY, EVERYBODY, WE HAVE

HEARD PICKLEBALL IS THE FASTEST

GROWING SPORT IN POPULARITY.

I HAVE PLAYED TENNIS MAYBE

THREE TIMES IN MY LIFE. THIS

SHOULD BE INTERESTING.

AND WE ARE ON THE SAME

TEAM. I PLAYED TENNIS AS A KID,

BUT WE ARE PLAYING OUR SOCIAL

MEDIA PRODUCER, WHO APPARENTLY

PLAYS ALL THE TIME. OUR CHIEF,

WHO IS TRAINING FOR A

TRIATHLON, AND YOU'RE STUCK

WITH A MAN WHO'S NEVER PLAYED

BEFORE.

I'M ACTUALLY PRETTY

COMPETITIVE, ANDREW.

LET'S CHECK IT OUT.

♪

YEAH! [ LAUGHTER ]

WE'VE BEEN PLAYING

PICKLEBALL FOR A GOOD HOUR OR

SO, IT'S VERY FUN.

IT'S VERY HOT, BUT WE ARE

PLAYING PICKLEBALL. WE ARE

"PICKLE BALLING," NOW. IT IS

GOOD EXERCISE. IT'S HOT, BUT

IT'S GOOD.

I SEE WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT.

YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME.

♪

OH, NICE JOB!

YES!

YES!

FEELING GOOD.

ABSOLUTELY. WE ARE WINNING.

WE'VE GOT THIS.

ANDREW THINKS HE'S GOT IT.

LET'S GO.

THEY ARE PRETTY GOOD. THEY

HAVE NO CHEMISTRY AT ALL. HE'S

ARROGANT, HE THINKS HE'S BETTER

THAN US.

THAT'S WHAT I'M WORRIED

ABOUT. OKAY. PUT ME IN, COACH.

PUT ME IN.

♪

WHAT WAS THAT?

IT'S OVER.

WE GOT IT. WE GOT IT.

GOOD GAME, GUYS.

THAT TURNED OUT WAY BETTER

THAN WHAT WE THOUGHT. WE WON.

I HAVE A FEELING THEY GAVE

US SOME MERCY.

IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN REALLY

FUN. I CAN SEE PEOPLE ENJOY

PICKLEBALL. I LIKE THE GAME.

IT'S SOCIALIZATION, IT'S A

COMMUNITY, YOU ARE OUTSIDE.

THE SUN FEELS GOOD, THE SUN

IS HEALTHY ON YOU, AND YOU

DON'T HAVE TO BE ON A TENNIS

COURT, IT FEELS CONFINED. IT'S

GREAT EXERCISE. I CAN SEE WHY

IT'S SO POPULAR.

YOU DID GREAT. GOOD TEAMWORK

. TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM

WORK.

BROTHER, THAT IS PAINFUL TO

WATCH THAT HERO SHOT AT THE

END.

[ LAUGHTER ] I LOVED THIS

SHOOT. IF YOU CAN'T TELL WE HAD

A LOT OF FUN. JOSEPH IS REALLY

INTO PICKLEBALL AND. AND CHI IS

TRAINING FOR A TRIATHLON.

TENNIS, PLAYING TENNIS

CERTAINLY HELPED.

I'VE ONLY PLAYED A FEW

TIMES. BUT YOU CAN STILL PLAY

PICKLEBALL. AM SURE VIEWERS

ARE, LIKE AT HOME, YEA,

PICKLEBALL. IT IS LIKE THE

FASTEST GROWING SPORT.

MY KNEES AREN'T AS GOOD AS

THEY WERE, SO THAT'S WHAT'S

NICE ABOUT PICKLEBALL. IT'S

CONFINED. ASHLEY MENTIONED TO

ME RECENTLY, YOU AND CHI, WH

WAS IN THAT PIECE, SHE

CONVINCED YOU TO BE WHAT?

I'M GOING TO BE CRAWLING IN

THE DIRT LIKE I AM AN ARMY

TRAINING CAMP OR SOMETHING, AND

SHE CONVINCED ME. NOW I CAN'T

GET OUT OF IT. IT'S SOMETHING

CHALLENGING. IT'S SOMETHING

SHE LIKES TO CHALLENGE HERSELF,

I, NOT SO MUCH. SHE HAS

ENCOURAGED ME TO DO THIS, SO

YES. WE WILL BE DOING ALL THAT

SOON. I NEED THE PRAYERS. PRAY

FOR ME.

LED TO HIS DEATH. IS HOW YOU

MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO GET

MY SAVING SURGERY.

THE PAIN WAS UNBEARABLE.

I REMEMBER ONE TIME WHEN I

WAS PLAYING , THEN THE PAIN GOT

SO BAD IN MY STOMACH BUT I

CRIED. MY FRIEND WENT AND GOT

MY MOM. SHE TOOK ME TO THE

HOSPITAL.

Reporter: SAREEN 'S FAMILY

ARE POOR RICE FARMERS, SELLING

WHAT THEY GROW FROM THEIR PIECE

OF LAND. LIFE HAS BEEN

DIFFICULT FOR THE YOUNG FAMILY.

SOMETIMES WE DON'T HAVE

ENOUGH FOOD TO EAT.

WATCHING HER SON CRY BECAUSE

OF THE PAIN AND NOT BEING ABLE

TO HELP HIM ARE THE HARDEST

THINGS FOR MARINA.

IT BREAKS MY HEART, BECAUSE

SOMETIMES THE PAIN IS

UNBEARABLE FOR HIM. I HAVE BEEN

TRYING TO SAVE MONEY FOR

SURGERY , BUT I CAN ONLY GIVE

HIM MEDICINE TO EASE THE PAIN.

PART TWO SAREEN BECAME A

CHRISTIAN AFTER WATCHING AN

EPISODE OF CBN'S SUPERBOOK

IN TOWN. OPERATION BLESSING

WAS CONTACTED TO HELP PAY FOR

THE SURGERY. OPERATION

BLESSING AIDED THE SURGERY ,

WHICH REVEALED A DANGER

SITUATION.

I'M SO HELPFUL TO THE KIND

WALKER? EVEN AFTER SURGERY

MARY FITZGERALD NEEDED

SOMETHING TO HELP HER GET

AROUND. SHE THOUGHT SHE WOULD

HAVE TO DEAL WITH EXCRUCIATING

PAIN FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE.

HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED INSTEAD.

I HAD JUST PUT CLOTHES IN

THE DRYER, AND I TURNED AROUND,

AND I HOOKED MY BIG TOE OF MY

LEFT FOOT UNDER THE EDGE OF

THE RUG THAT CAUSED ME TO TRIP.

WHEN I WENT DOWN, I FELL ON THE

FLOOR, ALL MY WEIGHT ON MY

RIGHT KNEE. AND IT WAS REALLY

PAINFUL.

DECEMBER, 2021, RETIRED

CUSTOMER SERVICE

REPRESENTATIVE, MARY

FITZGERALD, FELL . SHE WAS

ALONE AND COULDN'T MOVE.

I DIDN'T KNOW IF I HAD

TORN SOME TISSUE, OR THE

EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE, BUT I

THOUGHT THE PAIN WAS REALLY

BAD, AND I WAS SCARED TO MOVE.

DESPITE THE PAIN MARY

MANAGED TO GET TO A CAR AND

DRIVE HERSELF TO THE ER. X-RAYS

SHOWED SHE HAD A BRUISED BONE

AND TORN LIGAMENTS . THEY GAVE

HER PAIN MEDS AND TOLD HER TO

FOLLOW UP WITH AN ORTHOPEDIC

DOCTOR. BY NOW HER HUSBAND,

JERRY, ARRIVED, AND DROVE HER

HOME.

TO SEE HER ON CRUTCHES AND

USING A CANE AND WALKER, IT WAS

HARD TO SEE THAT, BECAUSE I

KNEW IT WAS TAKING AWAY OF HER

FREEDOM.

I COULDN'T DO MY DAILY

THINGS, CHORES IN THE HOUSE,

DRIVE, OR GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.

THAT WAS REALLY HARD FOR ME.

DESPITE PHYSICAL THERAPY

AND PAIN MEDS, NOTHING WORKED.

JERRY, WHO WORKS AT THE NEWPORT

NEWS SHIPYARD , DID EVERYTHING

HE COULD TO COMFORT HIS WIFE OF

15 YEARS.

AND THERE WERE TIMES WHEN IT

GOT SO HARD TO FUNCTION . HE

WOULD JUST COME AND HUG ME OR

PRAY OVER ME.

ON THE ADVICE OF AN

ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON THERE HE

UNDERWENT KNEE REPLACEMENT

SURGERY IN 2022. SHE ENDURED

LIMITED MOBILITY AND

EXCRUCIATING PAIN, EVEN AFTER

RECEIVING A SERIES OF NERVE

BLOCKERS SHE WAS UNABLE TO

CARE FOR HER HUSBAND OR DO THE

THINGS SHE MOST LOVED. WITH NO

OTHER OPTIONS DOCTORS

SCHEDULED HER FOR A PROCEDURE

TO BURN THE NERVES IN HER KNEE.

IT WAS BECOMING PRETTY

DEPRESSING. I WAS BEGINNING TO

THINK THIS WAS HOW THE REST OF

MY LIFE WAS GOING TO BE WITH

THIS LEG GRADE

WE HAD TO PRAY GOD WOULD

STRENGTHEN HER, THAT HE WOULD

ENCOURAGE HER, THAT HE WOULD

INCREASE THEIR FAITH, AND WE

HAD TO PRAY THAT GOD WOULD

STRENGTHEN ME.

DECEMBER 30th OF THAT SAME

YEAR, THE FITZGERALD'S SAT DOWN

TO WATCH THE 700 CLUB AS THEY

OFTEN DID. DURING THE PRAYER

TIME THEY HEARD GORDON SAY--

THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH YOUR

RIGHT KNEE, THERE IS A CLICK,

AND TO CATCH, AND GOD IS ABLE

TO RESTORE, YOU WEREN'T EVEN

PRAYING, AND YOU ARE KIND OF

WONDERING, IS THAT FOR ME? YES

IT'S FOR YOU. DO WHAT YOU

COULDN'T DO BEFORE, MOVE YOUR

KNEE AND RECEIVE HEALING INTO

THAT JOINT, RIGHT NOW.

AND I SAID THAT IS FOR ME.

I GRABBED MY KNEE, AND I PRAYED

WITH GORDON, AND WHEN I

STOPPED PRAYING, I COULD BEND

MY LEG, I JUST JUMPED UP AND

PRAISED GOD, BECAUSE I HAD NO

PAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN

YOUR.

MARY JUMPED ON HER

ELLIPTICAL, FIRST THING.

I KNEW THAT GOD HAD DONE

IT. THIS WAS REAL. GOD

COMPLETED THE HEALING IN HER

LEG.

MARY CONTINUES DOING ALL

THE THINGS SHE LOVES. SHE AND

JERRY ARE GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR

HIS HEALING TOUCH.

IT'S SUCH A BLESSING. WE ARE

ABLE TO GET TO DO THE THINGS WE

LOVE.

GOD IS FAITHFUL, GOD IS

GOOD. IT JUST ALWAYS PRAY AND

KNOW THAT GOD IS GOING TO HEAL

YOU. AND, GOD CAN HEAL YOU.

AMEN, GOD CAN HEAL YOU. WE

BELIEVE THAT HE WILL. HE IS

READY, WILLING, AND ABLE TO DO

WHAT HE DID FOR MARY FOR YOU

TODAY. WE ARE GOING TO PRAY.

BEFORE THAT WE WENT TO

ENCOURAGE YOU. THIS IS ANOTHER

MIRACLE TESTIMONY. AS I WAS

MINISTERING WITH YWAM, I

SHARED MY TESTIMONY OF HOW I

WAS DELIVERED FROM DRUGS USING

THE STORY OF THE WOMAN WITH

THE ISSUE OF BLOOD. THE WOMAN

WAS ABLE TO BE HEALED WITH THE

HEM OF JESUS' GARMENT. I

BELIEVE GOD WOULD BE THE ONE TO

HEAL ME, AND MY HUSBAND

PARTNERED WITH ME IN PRAYER FOR

MONTHS. ASSIST CONTINUED TO

GROW, AND THE SURGERY WAS

SCHEDULED. ONE DAY WE WERE

WATCHING THE 700 CLUB, AND

ENTER SAID, MEMBER THE WOMAN

WITH THE ISSUE OF THE FLOWING

BLOOD THAT WAS HEALED INSTANTLY

BY JESUS? I KNEW IT WAS FOR ME.

I WENT TO THE DOCTOR, AND THE

CYST WAS GONE. JESUS' GARMENT

MADE ME WHOLE.

AMEN, I AM SO GLAD WE GOT TO

HEAR THAT TESTIMONY. THAT'S

AWESOME. HERE IS KATHY. ASHLEY

PRAYED FOR SOMEONE WHO HAD

RIGHT KNEE PAIN. PLACE YOUR

HAND ON YOUR RIGHT KNEE AND

RECEIVE THAT HEALING COULD I

PLACED MY HAND ON MY KNEE AND

THANKED GOD FOR THE HEALING,

PRAISE JESUS, NO PAIN FOR A

MONTH. FATHER GOD, IN THE NAME

OF JESUS WE SAW IT WHAT YOU ARE

DOING, AND WE WANT TO DO MORE,

WE KNOW YOU WANT TO DO MORE,

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEALING

POWER IN THE LIVES OF YOUR

PROBLEM WITH YOUR HEEL. I DON'T

KNOW IF IT'S BEEN AN ACCIDENT,

OR IF SOMETHING WON'T HEAL,

THEY ARE EXPERIENCING

LONELINESS, IN THE SPIRIT OF

GOD WANTS YOU TO KNOW YOU ARE

NOT FORGOTTEN, AND IN THE MIDST

OF THIS THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL

BRING YOU JOY, YOU ARE TOLD TO

BE LOOKING TO BLESS OTHERS. YOU

ARE GOING TO DETECT OTHER

PEOPLE AND BLESS THEM IN JESUS'

NAME. THANK YOU, LORD.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE

SAME PERSON, BUT I BELIEVE SOME

OF , THE PAIN IS THROUGHOUT

YOUR TOES, AND I BELIEVE GOD IS

HEALING WHATEVER THE ISSUE,

WHATEVER THE CAUSE IS, HE IS

HEALING THE ROOT OF THE ISSUE ,

HE'S HEALING THE ROOT SO YOU

WOULD BE COMPLETELY HEALED FROM

THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD TO THE

SOLES OF YOUR FEET. THANK YOU

JESUS.

SOMEONE ELSE HAS HAD, NOT

PARALYZED, BUT LIKE , A

STIFFNESS IN YOUR RIGHT SIDE ,

AND IT'S REALLY MAKING MOBILITY

DIFFICULT, AND YOU ARE FEELING

HEAT THERE RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S

UNMISTAKABLE, AND THE LORD IS

HEALING YOU HAVE THAT. IN JESUS

' NAME, THANK YOU FATHER.

SOMEBODY WATCHING YOU HAS BEEN

STRUGGLING WITH DEPRESSION, AND

THEY HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH

CHRONIC DEPRESSION, AND I

BELIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS

JUST TOUCHING YOU RIGHT NOW. I

PREFER THAT HOLY SPIRIT TO

FLOW OVER YOU IN THE NAME OF

JESUS. THE JOY OF THE LORD IS

YOUR STRENGTH, I PRAY IN THE

NAME OF JESUS THAT THE JOY OF

YOUR SALVATION IS RESTORED. AND

I PRAY THAT

TO LIFT OFF YOU RIGHT NOW, YOU

CAN LITERALLY FEEL IT LIFTING

OFF OF YOU. JUST RECEIVED THE

JOY OF THE LORD. JUST THE JOY

OF YOUR SALVATION IS BEING

RESTORED AND REDEEMED IN JESUS'

NAME.

AMEN. GIVE US A CALL IF YOU

RECEIVED A MIRACLE PLEASE .

1-800-700-7000. WE WOULD LOVE

TO HEAR IT. WE LEAVE YOU TODAY

WITH THESE WORDS FROM PSALM

30. OH LORD MY GOD I CRIED OUT

TO YOU AND YOU HAVE HEALED ME.

AMEN. THANKS FOR JOINING US

TODAY ON THE 700 CLUB. WE'LL
