ON TODAY'S 700 CLUB WELCOME TO
THE 700 CLUB.
A HIGH STAKES SPEECH AT THE
NATIONS.
PRESIDENT BIDEN WARNED WORLD
LEADERS THAT UP TO RUSSIA'S
INVASION OF UKRAINE IS VITAL TO
WORLD.
THE PRESIDENT DECLARED THAT
THE UNITED STATES WILL CONTINUE
MILITARY AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT
FOR UKRAINE.
YET A RECENT POLL SHOWS MORE
THAN HALF OF AMERICANS THINK
THE US HAS DONE ENOUGH.
NATIONAL SECURITY CORRESPONDENT
CAITLIN BURKE REPORTS ON THE
ONGOING WAR IN TOOK CENTER
STAGE AS THE MAIN FOREIGN
POLICY ISSUE THE PRESIDENT
RUSSIA.
LATER THE WORLD WILL GROW
WEARY AND ALLOW IT TO BRUTALIZE
UKRAINE WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE.
BUT I ASK YOU THIS IF WE
ABANDON CORE PRINCIPLES OF THE
UNITED STATES TO APPEASE AN
AGGRESSOR ANY MEMBER STATE IN
THIS BODY FEEL CONFIDENT THAT
THEY ARE PROTECTED?
BIDEN CONTINUED U.S.
MILITARY AND FINANCIAL AID FOR
UKRAINE AND CALLED ON OTHER
WORLD LEADERS TO RAMP UP THEIR
SUPPORT.
UKRAINIAN VLADIMIR ZELENSKY
ALSO MAKING AN APPEAL AND THE
GOAL OF THE PRESENT WAR AGAINST
UKRAINE IS TO TOUR OUR LAND,
OUR PEOPLE, OUR LIVES OUR
RESOURCES INTO A WEAPON AGAINST
YOU AGAIN THE INTERNATIONAL
RULES BASED ORDER.
WHILE THE BIDEN COMMITMENT
TO UKRAINE REMAINS STEADFAST, A
RECENT CNN POLL REPORTS 51% OF
AMERICANS SURVEYED BELIEVE THE
US HAS DONE ENOUGH TO HELP
UKRAINE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST
COMPARED TO 48% WHO WANT
AMERICA TO DO MORE.
ZELENSKY VISITS CAPITOL HILL
AND THE WHITE HOUSE THIS WEEK
AS GOP WRESTLES OVER A NEW
BUDGET BILL INCLUDING ANOTHER
$24 BILLION FOR UKRAINE.
HOUSE SPEAKER KEVIN MCCARTHY IS
MAKING NO PROMISES.
ZELENSKY ELECTED TO CONGRESS
IS HE OUR PRESIDENT?
I DON'T THINK I HAVE A
COMMITTEE I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR.
IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY ON THE
MONEY WE ALREADY SPENT?
WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR VICTORY
?
FOREIGN POLICY EXPERT AND
SENIOR FELLOW AT THE BROOKINGS
INSTITUTION O'HANLON TELLS CBN
NEWS THAT IF THE WAR CONTINUES
ANOTHER YEAR DEBATE WILL LIKELY
BE ABOUT CUTTING BACK AID
RATHER THAN CUTTING IT OFF
COMPLETELY.
I THINK THAT THAT ALLOW FOR
A SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED AMOUNT
OF AMERICAN ASSISTANCE BY AT
LEAST HALF MAYBE THREE FOURTHS
AND STILL ALLOW UKRAINE TO HOLD
ON TO THE FIVE SIX OF ITS
TERRITORY THAT IT HAS TODAY AND
PROTECT ITS GOVERNMENT CAPITAL
THE MAJORITY OF ITS PEOPLE MOST
OF ITS ECONOMY FOR.
UKRAINE DESERVES A FULLER
FAIRER CHANCE TO TAKE BACK ITS
LAND.
BIDEN HAS A SIDELINE MEETING
PLANNED WITH ISRAELI MINISTER
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU THE FIRST
SINCE NETANYAHU RETURNED TO
OFFICE.
ACCORDING TO THE WHITE HOUSE,
TWO WILL DISCUSS COUNTERING AND
DETERRING IRAN ALONG WITH OTHER
ISSUES FOCUSING ON THE SHARED
DEMOCRATIC VALUES OF THE TWO
COUNTRIES.
CAITLIN BURKE, CBN NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
WELL HERE'S A SIGNIFICANT
FACT THAT ISN'T BEING REALLY
REPORTED MUCH AND THAT IS THERE
WEREN'T ANY OTHER WORLD LEADERS
AT BIDEN'S SPEECH.
THERE WERE U.N.
REPRESENTATIVES.
BUT I THINK IT UNDERLINES THAT
WORLD DOESN'T THINK THE U.N.
HAS ANY POWER AND.
THERE WILL BE NOTHING THAT
COMES FROM THIS SPEECH AS WE
START GOING INTO THIS
MULTIPOLAR WHERE YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE NEW U.S. INTERESTS,
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE CHINESE
INTERESTS, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
INTEREST IN INDIA.
BRAZIL ANNOUNCED AS PART OF
U.N. GATHERING THAT THEY WERE
NOW THE SPOKESPERSON FOR ALL OF
LATIN AMERICA, FOR SOUTH
AMERICA.
THESE INCREDIBLE CHANGES.
IS EUROPE FRACTURE OR ARE THEY
COMING TOGETHER AS A RESULT OF
THIS WAR?
BUT IF THEY ARE WHY AREN'T THEY
SENDING ANYBODY TO HEAR THIS
SPEECH AT THE U.N. HERE'S
SOMETHING THE SECRETARY GENERAL
OF THE U.N. SAID JUST YESTERDAY
AND SO IT'S IT'S NO COINCIDENCE
HE'S TRYING TO MAKE A STATEMENT
ABOUT WHERE WE ARE IN THE WORLD
TODAY.
HOW IS BECOMING UNHINGED
GEOPOLITICAL TENSIONS ARE
RISING, GLOBAL CHALLENGES ARE
MOUNTING AND WE SEEM INCAPABLE
OF COMING TOGETHER TO WE ARE
INCHING EVER CLOSER TO A GREAT
IN ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL
SYSTEMS AND TRADE RELATIONS.
WE SHOULD ALL PAY ATTENTION
TO THIS THIS ISN'T THE FIRST
TIME THE SECRETARY GENERAL OF
THE U.N. HAS RAISED DIRE
WARNINGS.
HE'S DONE THIS IN THE PAST BUT
THIS TIME HE'S MAKING VERY
SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS THAT.
WE CHANGE THE U.N., WE CHANGE
THE SECURITY COUNCIL.
WE TRY TO DO SOMETHING ON A
GLOBAL BASIS FOR TRADE.
AS A CHRISTIAN, I LOOK AT
THAT KIND OF STATEMENT BY WORLD
LEADER AND I'M FRANKLY IT GIVES
ME A CHILL.
YOU KNOW, ARE WE INCHING
CLOSER TO THE PEOPLE
RECOMMENDING THAT WE SCRAP ALL
THE NATION STATES AND COME UP
WITH SOME KIND ONE WORLD
GOVERNMENT.
WELL, I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE
THAT'S TO LEAD.
IN OTHER NEWS, ONE OF THE
ISSUES ISRAEL'S PRIME MINISTER
WILL DISCUSS WITH PRESIDENT
BIDEN IS A DEAL TO NORMALIZE
RELATIONS BETWEEN SAUDI ARABIA
AND THE JEWISH STATE.
JOHN JESSUP HAS MORE THAT STORY
FROM OUR CBN NEWS BUREAU IN
WASHINGTON.
JOHN, THANKS GORDON THE
NATIONS HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATING A
POTENTIAL FOR MONTHS.
THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT THE
UNITED STATES IS CONSIDERING A
DEFENSE TREATY WITH THE SAUDIS
TO HELP SEAL THE DEAL.
THE NEW TIMES REPORTS THE DEAL
WOULD MIRROR AGREEMENTS THE
UNITED STATES HAS WITH ASIAN
ALLIES LIKE JAPAN AND SOUTH
KOREA.
IT REPORTEDLY MILITARY
SUPPORT IF THE US OR SAUDI
ARABIA IS ATTACKED THE REGION.
THE SAUDI CROWN PRINCE HAS ALSO
ASKED FOR HELP DEVELOPING A
CIVILIAN NUCLEAR PROGRAM IF THE
DEAL GOES THROUGH.
SAUDI WILL FOR THE FIRST TIME
RECOGNIZE ISRAEL AS INDEPENDENT
COUNTRY.
WELL, HERE AT HOME IN NEW YORK
CITY, NEW DEVELOPMENTS CASE OF
A TODDLER'S DEATH AFTER
EXPOSURE TO THE DEADLY DRUG
FENTANYL AT A BRONX DAYCARE.
OFFICIALS ACCUSED THE DAYCARE
OWNER OF RUNNING A DRUG
OPERATION AND DELAYING A CALL
FOR HELP WHILE TRYING TO COVER
UP THE INCIDENT.
RECIPIENTS WENDY GRIFFITH HAS
MORE.
FEDERAL OFFICIALS SAY A
KILOGRAM OF FENTANYL WAS STORED
ON TOP OF CHILDREN'S MATS USED
FOR NAPPING AT THE NEW YORK
DAYCARE.
THAT'S ENOUGH TO KILL 500,000
PEOPLE.
THE OWNER OF DIVINO NINO
DAYCARE IN THE BRONX AND HER
ALLEGED COCONSPIRATOR ARE
FACING FEDERAL CHARGES IN THE
DEATH OF A ONE YEAR OLD
TODDLER.
THEY WERE RUNNING A DRUG
OPERATION FROM A DAYCARE CENTER
A DAYCARE CENTER, A PLACE WHERE
CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT SAFE
NOT SURROUNDED BY A DRUG THAT
COULD KILL THEM IN AN INSTANT.
AFTER FINDING FOUR CHILDREN
UNRESPONSIVE, THE OWNER
ALLEGEDLY DELAYED 911.
MAKING THREE OTHER CALLS BEFORE
SEEKING HELP.
POLICE ARE SEARCHING FOR HER
HUSBAND WHO FLED THE SCENE WITH
TWO FALL SHOPPING BAGS.
THE DEFENDANT'S ALLEGED
CONDUCT THAT LED TO THOSE
POISONINGS IS UNCONSCIONABLE.
IT'S INEXCUSABLE.
THE CHILDREN RUSHED TO A
HOSPITAL AND TREATED
NARCAN AN OPIOID REVERSAL DRUG.
ONE YEAR OLD NICHOLAS DOMENICI
NOT SURVIVE.
HIS FATHER DEVASTATED.
KNOW I LOVE HIM.
I MISS HIM.
I WANT HIM BACK.
FENTANYL IS SYNTHETIC OPIOID
THAT IS UP TO 100 TIMES MORE
POTENT THAN.
CITY AND HEALTH REPORTER LAURIE
JOHNSON SAYS THE DRUG NARCAN
CAN SAVE LIVES.
THIS IS THE DRUG THAT STOPS
AN OVERDOSE WHILE.
IT IS IN PROCESS.
YOU CAN GET THIS NARCAN AT MOST
PHARMACIES WITHOUT A
PRESCRIPTION.
MOST SCHOOLS HAVE IT.
PEDIATRIC DEATHS FROM OPIOIDS
ARE SKYROCKETING.
IN 2018 381 CHILDREN DIED OF
OPIOID POISONING.
IN 2021 THAT NUMBER MORE THAN
QUADRUPLED.
NATION WIDE ACCORDING TO PUBLIC
RECORDS, THE DAY CARE PASSED A
SURPRISE INSPECTION EARLIER
THIS MONTH.
IF THE SUSPECTS ARE CONVICTED
ON THESE FEDERAL CHARGES, THEY
COULD FACE 20 YEARS TO LIFE IN
PRISON.
WENDY GRIFFITH, CBN NEWS.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, WENDY
WILL ALONG WITH SOCIETY SOCIAL
PROBLEMS.
THERE ARE INCREASING STUDIES
THAT CLAIM AMERICANS ARE LOSING
THEIR RELIGION.
CHARLENE AARON RECENTLY SAT
DOWN WITH ONE AUTHOR WHO'S
CONVINCED THAT'S NOT TRUE AND
THAT CHANGE IS ON THE HORIZON.
COULD WE BE WITNESSING A
RETURN OF BELIEF IN GOD IN OUR
GENERATION.
IN HIS NEW BOOK THE SURPRISING
REBIRTH OF BELIEF IN GOD,
JUSTIN BRIERLEY OUTLINES THE
RISING OF A NEW CONVERSATION
ABOUT CHRISTIANITY AND GOD.
WE'VE SEEN INCREASING
DECLINE OF CHURCHGOING THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO CHRISTIAN
FAITH OF ANY KIND.
BUT I DON'T THINK THOSE
STATISTICS TELL US THE WHOLE
STORY.
JUSTIN BRIERLEY, FORMER HOST
OF THE POPULAR UNBELIEVABLE
WHICH FEATURED DEBATES BETWEEN
CHRISTIANS AND IS DIVING INTO
THE ISSUE IN HIS LATEST BOOK
THE SURPRISING REBIRTH OF
BELIEF IN GOD WHY NEW ATHEISTS
OLD AND SECULAR THINKERS ARE
CONSIDERING CHRISTIANITY AGAIN
.
BRIERLEY SAYS SOME ARE TAKING A
CLOSER LOOK AT FAITH AS SEARCH
FOR MEANING.
I'M FINDING A LOT MORE
PEOPLE NOW OPENING UP TO THE
IDEA THAT THERE MAY BE MORE.
I BELIEVE WE ARE SEEING ROOM
FOR CHRISTIAN STORY TO EMERGE
AGAIN IN OUR CULTURE INCLUDING
AMONG SOME WELL KNOWN SECULAR
INTELLECTUALS INTERESTING
CHARACTERS LIKE JORDAN PETERSON
.
HE'S A PSYCHOLOGIST FROM CANADA
BUT HE HAS DRAWN HUNDREDS
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO HIS
LECTURES, HIS YOUTUBE CHANNEL,
HIS YOU KNOW, HIS PODCAST AND
VERY MUCH PUTTING IN FRONT OF
THEM THE FACT THAT CHRISTIANITY
NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.
THIS IS EVEN AS A NONBELIEVER.
BRIERLEY ALSO EXPLAINS WHY
NEW ATHEISM.
THE BELIEF THAT RELIGION IS THE
BREEDING GROUND FOR HOSTILITY,
VIOLENCE AND CRIME IN OUR
SOCIETY IS FAILING THE
ARCHITECTS OF THAT PHENOMENON
PEOPLE LIKE RICHARD DAWKINS AND
SAM HARRIS.
THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY COULD
BASICALLY GET RID OF GOD BELIEF
IN PEOPLE BY KIND OF ARGUING IT
OUT OF THEM.
THAT IS REALLY DWINDLED.
IN MANY WAYS IT'S IT'S IT'S IN
THE BACK MIRROR NOW.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE REALIZING
YOU CAN ONLY RUN ON THAT STORY
OF MATERIALIST ATHEISM FOR SO
LONG BEFORE IT STOPS GIVING YOU
ANY ANSWERS AS MANY SEEK
REMAINING SPIRITUAL HUNGER IS
ON THE RISE.
EARLIER THIS YEAR CHRISTIANS
FROM ACROSS THE FLOCKED TO
ASTBURY UNIVERSITY AFTER
STUDENTS A SPONTANEOUS PRAYER
SERVICE THAT LASTED FOR WEEKS
AND AS CBN NEWS HAS REPORTED,
COLLEGIATE MINISTRY LEADERS
POINT TO THE INCREDIBLE
SPIRITUAL APPETITE AMONG MANY
OF TODAY'S STUDENTS.
THEY HAVE NO RELIGIOUS
BACKGROUND.
THEY HAVEN'T FOOT IN A CHURCH
BUT 80% OF THEM ARE SPIRITUALLY
OPEN.
THERE IS A SPIRITUAL HUNGER
OUT THERE AMONG GENERATION BUT
IT IS COMPLETELY AND UNDIRECTED
.
ALL SIGNS OF HOPE THAT
BRIERLEY ENCOURAGES THE CHURCH
TO EMBRACE DESPITE CULTURAL
THAT SAY OTHERWISE.
GOD IS ALWAYS DOING A NEW
THING AS ALWAYS A RENEWAL
SEASON AROUND THE CORNER AND I
THINK THERE'S BEEN AN
INTELLECTUAL RENEWAL GOING ON
OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS AND
SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
CHARLENE AARON CBN NEWS AND
BASED ON OUR REPORTING IT
CERTAINLY DOES SEEM LIKE GORDON
WE'RE EXPERIENCING SPIRITUAL
AWAKENING WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR
COLLEGE CAMPUSES WHETHER IT'S
ASBURY OR AUBURN WE'RE SEEING A
REVIVAL.
IT BREAKING OUT WHERE PEOPLE
ARE SPONTANEOUSLY ENCOUNTERING
GOD.
THEY'RE COMING TOGETHER NOT TO
HAVE A CHURCH SERVICE BUT TO
HAVE AN ENCOUNTER.
I VIEW THAT AS ABSOLUTELY
WONDERFUL.
NOW I CHURCHES TODAY IF YOU
WANT TO PART OF THIS REVIVAL
IT'S NOT BUSINESS AS USUAL.
IF YOU GO AND HAVE AN ENCOUNTER
A LIVING GOD, IT'S GOING TO BE
VERY HARD FOR YOU TO SAY OKAY
THIS CHURCH SERVICE WHERE WE
HAVE THREE FAST SONGS AND THEN
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THREE SLOW
SONGS AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE ANNOUNCEMENTS AND THEN
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE UP AN
OFFERING AND THEN WE'RE GOING
TO HEAR A SERMON AND THEN ALL
GOING TO GO HOME.
IF THAT'S THE DESCRIPTION
YOUR CHURCH SERVICE WELL WHERE
IN THAT IS AND THE ENCOUNTER
WITH THE LIVING GOD?
THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY
FOR BECAUSE THEY'RE REALIZING
THAT WITHOUT GOD THEY ARE
WITHOUT HOPE AND WHAT THE
APOSTLE PAUL WROTE 2000 YEARS
AGO.
WAS ATHEISM THEN?
YES.
PEOPLE OPENLY THE RELIGION OF
THE ROMAN EMPIRE.
THEY'RE OPENLY QUESTIONING
WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF LIFE OF
THESE THINGS.
THESE QUESTIONS HAVEN'T GONE
AWAY.
AND IF WITHOUT GOD IT MEANS
YOU'RE WITHOUT HOPE.
CHRISTIAN SANITY IS ALL ABOUT A
MANUAL GOD WITH US.
AND WHEN YOU HAVE THAT
ENCOUNTER IT CHANGES YOU AND IT
CHANGES YOU NOT JUST HERE ON
EARTH.
IT CHANGES YOU FOR ALL
ETERNITY.
NOTHING ELSE WILL FILL THAT
VOID.
NOTHING ELSE EVEN COMES
CLOSE TO THAT EXPERIENCE.
SO THAT'S WHY WE ENCOURAGE
WE WILL HAVE THAT DIRECT
EXPERIENCE WITH GOD ALMIGHTY.
YOU CAN DO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS ASK FOR IT.
VERY SIMPLE PRAYER.
GOD IF YOU'RE REAL, IF YOU'RE
REALLY THERE, IF YOU REALLY
SENT JESUS TO BE MY SAVIOR, IF
THESE THINGS ARE TRUE THAT GOD
SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE
HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT
WHOSOEVER WOULD BELIEVE ON HIM
WOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE
EVERLASTING LIFE.
IF THAT'S TRUE, COULD YOU SHOW
ME?
COULD YOU SHOW UP FOR ME?
IF YOU PRAY THAT WITH ALL OF
YOUR HEART YOU'LL AN ANSWER
BECAUSE GOD WANTS TO BACK UP
HIS WORD.
DO YOU NEED HELP WITH THIS
PRAYER?
WE'RE HERE FOR YOU.
I GOT TO DO IS CARLOS ONE 800
707,000.
JUST TELL THE PERSON ON THE
OTHER END OF THE LINE.
I WANT TO KNOW IF GOD IS REAL.
I WANT TO KNOW I CAN BE SAVED.
I WANT TO KNOW IF I CAN HAVE
THIS ENCOUNTER.
I SEE, OTHERS HAVE I WANT TO
PLATFORMS ADDICTION PSYCHOTIC
EPISODES AND THOUGHTS OF
SUICIDE.
WELL, THAT'S THE FALLOUT FROM A
DANGEROUS SWEEPING THROUGH
AMERICA'S SCHOOLS.
MORE TEENAGERS AND YOUNG
CHILDREN ARE VAPING THC THE KEY
INGREDIENT INGREDIENT IN
MARIJUANA.
MEDICAL REPORTER LAURIE
JOHNSON REPORTS ON THIS MAJOR
HEALTH THREAT.
THE MOST RECENT CDC FIGURES
AVAILABLE SHOW MORE THAN ONE IN
FIVE HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS VAPED
THC IN 2020 A SIGNIFICANT
INCREASE PRIOR YEARS AND LIKELY
EVEN GREATER TODAY.
THE MAIN PSYCHOACTIVE IN
MARIJUANA BUT DON'T REALIZE
VAPING IS MUCH MORE POTENT THAN
SMOKING A JOINT.
IT STARTED WHEN I WAS 14
YEARS OLD.
I WAS ABOUT IN THE EIGHTH
GRADE.
VAPING THC PROVIDES A MUCH
QUICKER HIGH THAT CAN BE
DAMAGING AND ADDICTIVE.
IT WAS LIKE ONE OR TWO HITS
IN THE PAN AND I WAS INSTANTLY
BEHIND.
UNLIKE TYPICAL MARIJUANA
CIGARETS CONTAIN 10% THC.
THESE NEW VAPING DEVICES CAN
CONCENTRATED TO A STAGGERING
95% AND THE HIGHER THE DOSE OF
THC EXAMPLE THE HIGHER THE
LIKELIHOOD THAT YOU WILL END UP
WITH A PSYCHOTIC EPISODE AND
THAT WILL LEAD YOU TO END UP IN
THE EMERGENCY ROOM DEPARTMENT.
THE LONGER THAT I USED IT
JUST THE MORE MY MENTAL HEALTH
STARTED DETERIORATING.
MY GRADES WERE SLIPPING.
I COULDN'T REALLY THINK TO
CONCENTRATE AS WELL.
IN MY MIND I WAS TRAPPED IN
THIS DELUSION OF LIKE I HAVE TO
COMMIT SUICIDE BECAUSE MY
PARENTS ARE GOING TO FIND OUT.
DOCTORS SAY TODAY'S ULTRA
POTENT POT CAN INTERFERE WITH
HEART LUNG FUNCTION PLUS CAUSE
SEVERE VOMITING AND ABDOMINAL
PAIN.
ALL OF THESE ARE I KNEW
PRESENTING ISSUES THAT
PHYSICIANS ARE SEEING IN THE
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS
ASSOCIATED CONSUMPTION OF HIGH
LEVEL THC THAT WE DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW EXISTED.
VAPING THC IS OFTEN ODORLESS SO
IT'S EASY TO HIDE EVEN AT
SCHOOL.
YOU KNOW I COULD DO IT IN
CLASS.
I COULD DO IT IN THE BATHROOM.
SINCE TURBO THC DELIVERS SUCH A
POWERFUL HIT TO THE BRAIN'S
PLEASURE CENTER IT CAN ALSO
LEAD TO ADDICTION.
THE ONLY I WAS THINKING
ABOUT WAS ONCE THE NURSE USES
LIKE WHEN'S THE NEXT TIME I CAN
GO TO THE BATHROOM OR THE
TEACHER WILL LET ME GO?
A LOOPHOLE IN THE 2018 FARM
BILL WHICH LEGALIZED HEMP ALSO
COVERED EIGHT THC VAPE PRODUCTS
WHICH ARE SYNTHESIZED HEMP.
THAT MEANS IN ADDITION TO
CANNABIS DISPENSARIES THEY CAN
BE SOLD AT SMOKE SHOPS, GAS
STATIONS AND ONLINE WITHIN IN
NEARLY EVERY STATE.
MANUFACTURERS LITERALLY
SWEETEN THE DEAL BY ADDING KID
FRIENDLY FLAVORS LIKE
STRAWBERRY AND BUBBLEGUM.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHY
THAT OUR GOVERNMENT IS NOT
PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN.
THAT IS THEIR JOB.
THE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO PROFIT
OFF OUR CHILDREN'S OFF OUR
FAMILIES DESTRUCTION AND HAVE A
LOT OF POWER IN OUR COUNTRY.
CHRISTIAN PARENTING EXPERT
KELLY NEWCOMB ISSUES A CALL TO
ACTION.
ULTIMATELY WORD SAYS THAT WE
ARE TO BE SOBER MINDED.
WE ARE TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR
THE DEVIL PROWLS LIKE A ROARING
LION WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO
DEVOUR.
AND MARIJUANA IS ONE WAY TO
JUST SORT OF NUMB CHILDREN'S
BRAINS.
ONE OTHER WAY THAT SATAN IS
USING GET KIDS TO WALK AWAY
FROM THE FAITH.
NEWCOMB SAYS PARENTS BECOME
FAMILIAR WITH THE APPEARANCE OF
VAPE PENS AND IF SUSPICIOUS
SEARCHED THEIR CHILD'S BEDROOM
AND BACKPACK FOR THE AS WELL AS
MISSING OR SPLICED CHARGING
CORDS WHICH ARE USED TO POWER
THE PENS WHEN THEY ARE THIS
YOUNG?
BECAUSE I'VE HEARD OF 11 YEAR
OLDS EVEN USING THIS AS THEIR
ENTERING INTO LIKE FIFTH OR
SIXTH GRADE.
IT'S REALLY ACTION.
YOU NEED TO ACT REALLY FAST.
NEWCOMB RECOMMENDS TAKING SMART
PHONES FROM KIDS SUSPECTED
USING DRUGS TO LIMIT POTENTIAL
ACCESS BECAUSE IS HOW THEY'RE
ACCESSING ALL OF THAT THROUGH
AND YOU COULD CALL THEM DEALERS
BUT THEY'RE OFTEN JUST FRIENDS.
THEY'RE PEOPLE AT THE SCHOOL
WHO'VE GOT OLDER SIBLINGS WHO
ARE BUYING IT BUT ESSENTIALLY
THEY'RE DEALERS ALLOW KIDS TO
COMMUNICATE USING A KID SAFE
PHONE LIKE PINWHEEL AND WILL
ALLOWS YOU TO READ ALL OF YOUR
CHILD'S TEXT MESSAGES FROM YOUR
OWN PHONE THROUGH THE CAREGIVER
PORTAL AND THAT'S REALLY
HELPFUL AND YOU CAN SORT OF
FIND WHO ARE THE KIDS WHO ARE
ASKING FOR VAPE OR ASKING IF
THEY WANT VAPE.
PARENTS CAN ALSO USE A DRUG
TEST AVAILABLE PHARMACIES AS AN
OPTION.
SO IT'S JUST HAVING THAT
CONVERSATION OF SAYING WELL I
TRUST YOU.
I CAN'T YOU KNOW, I TRUST GOD
AND I FEAR GOD THAN I THEN I
FEAR YOU BEING MAD AT ME FOR
TESTING BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY
PREVALENT.
SOME PARENTS TESTING
ACTUALLY GAVE THEIR CHILD AN
EXCUSE TO STAY SOBER WHILE ALSO
SAVING FACE.
IT WAS A GOOD PREVENTATIVE
MEASURE FOR HIM TO SAY TO HIS
PEERS WHO ARE PRESSURING HIM TO
USE LIKE YOU KNOW I'M NOT GOING
TO USE BECAUSE I KNOW I'M GOING
TO GET DRUG ANY DAY BUT THC
METABOLITE IS ACTUALLY STORED
THE FAT AND IT'S LASTS A LONG
TIME SO IT CAN ACTUALLY STAY IN
THE URINE FOR UP TO 4 TO 6
WEEKS.
SOME KIDS CHOOSE THC VAPES
BECAUSE THEY DO NOT TYPICALLY
CONTAIN FENTANYL LIKE OTHER
STREET DRUGS.
DOCTORS FEAR THAT COULD CHANGE.
I THINK WE CANNOT BE
COMPLACENT THEN WE HAVE TO BE
OPEN TO THE POSSIBILITY THAT
SOMEONE MAY THINK ABOUT DOING
THIS AND SAY WELL IF I WANT TO
HAVE A UNIQUE PRODUCT FOR
VAPING THC WHAT ABOUT I MIXED
IT WITH FENTANYL THEN SELL A
PRODUCT THAT'S GOING TO BE
INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS.
FORTUNATELY GOT THE HELP HE
NEEDED TO QUIT VAPING THC I
FEEL SO MUCH BETTER OFF THAT
IT'S LIKE I FEEL LIKE I CAN BE
FREE AND EXPERIENCE LIFE LIKE I
SHOULD.
HE URGES OTHERS TO KICK THE
HABIT OR BETTER YET NEVER START
.
LORI JOHNSON CBN NEWS.
THE BEST TO NEVER FORM A HABIT
IS TO NEVER START.
SO IF YOU SUSPECT YOUR CHILDREN
HAVE STARTED WELL YES YOU NEED
TO INTERVENE.
IT MAY SEEM LIKE AN INVASION OF
THEY WILL ABSOLUTELY OBJECT TO
IT BUT PLEASE PROTECT THE MIND
OF YOUR CHILD.
A REASON WE CALL IT DOPE.
IT'S BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU DOPE
.
AND IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED IN
LIFE, IF YOU WANT TO GET GOOD
IN SCHOOL, IF YOU WANT TO
ADVANCE, IF YOU WANT TO ABLE TO
HAVE YOUR OWN FAMILY ALL THE
THINGS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL TO
HAVING A REWARDING LIFE WHILE
AROUND GETTING HIGH I'M GOING
TO GET YOU THERE IF YOU IF KEEP
GOING BACK TO THIS STUFF THAT
HABIT IS ABSOLUTELY GOING TO
DESTROY YOUR LIFE.
SO THE BEST THING NEVER START.

WATCH OUT FOR IT.

PROTECT YOUR KIDS FROM THIS
GROWING PROBLEM.

SEVEN YEAR OLD MASON WAS
THROWN THE FIERY WRECKAGE OF A
PLANE CRASH.
HIS INJURIES WERE SEVERE AND
THE DOCTORS SAID HE MIGHT HAVE
PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE.
TODAY MASON IS ALIVE AND WELL
ALL THANKS TO A TEAM OF PRAYER
WARRIORS AND A LEAGUE OF ANGELS
.
MAY 31ST, 2020
SCHOOLTEACHER, TEACHER AND
DIVORCED MOTHER OF TWO LINDSEY
JETER CAME HOME FROM WORK TO
FIND SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES IN THE
FRONT YARD.
I IMMEDIATELY KNEW SOMETHING
WAS WRONG.
THEY HAD NEWS ABOUT HER YEAR
OLD SON MASON.
HE SAID, WELL, YOUR SON
BEEN IN A PLANE CRASH AND I'M
HERE TO TAKE YOU TO.
MY INITIAL REACTION WAS TO BE
VERY UPSET.
I SAID HE GOING TO BE OKAY.
AND HE SAID, MA'AM, I DON'T
KNOW.
MASON HIS DAD AND UNCLE THE
WERE TAKING A SCENIC FLIGHT IN
PINE VILLE, LOUISIANA WHEN THE
SMALL PLANE CRASHED SHORTLY
AFTER TAKEOFF.
BOTH MEN WERE KILLED INSTANTLY.
MASON THROWN CLEAR WHEN HIS
SEATBELT TOUR AND THE TOP OF
THE PLANE WAS RIPPED OFF.
I REMEMBER JUST PLEADING AND
BEGGIN, BEGGING GOD, YOU KNOW,
PLEASE, PLEASE JUST JUST HELP
HIM BE OKAY.
THE OFFICERS DROVE LINDSAY
TO RAPIDS MEDICAL CENTER 30
MINUTES AWAY.
LINDSAY'S MOTHER MARILYN SMITH
FOLLOWED IT WAS HORRIBLE.
I CALLED A FRIEND OF MINE
AND I TOLD HER I JUST NEED TO
GET PEOPLE TOGETHER AND START
PRAYING BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW
WHAT INJURIES HE HAS AND HOW
BAD IT IS.
FINALLY THEY GOT TO MASON'S
SIDE.
IT WAS TERRIFYING BECAUSE
HIS HEAD WAS SWOLLEN, HIS EYES
WERE PURPLE AND SWOLLEN.
IT WAS JUST SURREAL.
THAT'S AN IMAGE THAT YOU
DON'T EVER GET OUT OF YOUR.
IT WAS VERY SHOCKING TO SEE HIM
LIKE THAT.
HE WAS ALMOST UNRECOGNIZABLE.
JUST A HORRIFIC SCENE.
MASON'S INJURIES WERE
EXTENSIVE.
HE HAD BROKEN BONES, A SKULL
FRACTURE THAT LEFT HIM WITH
BRAIN SWELLING AND MULTIPLE
ORGAN DAMAGE THAT INCLUDED
BRUISED AND A LACERATED LIVER.
THOUGH THE BOY WAS STABLE,
DOCTORS WARNED HE MIGHT HAVE
PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE.
MASON WAS IN A MEDICALLY
INDUCED COMA AND ON A
VENTILATOR TO HELP REDUCE THE
BRAIN SWELLING.
MARILYN, A FORMER NURSE,
UNDERSTOOD HIS INJURIES BETTER
THAN MOST.
AND KNEW WHAT WAS AT STAKE WITH
EACH ONE.
I JUST FELT MORE AND MORE
CRUSHED BECAUSE THERE WAS SO
MANY OF THEM.
THEY WERE ALL SEVERE.
AND ANY ONE OF THEM COULD HAVE
HAD SEVERE THAT WOULD HAVE
TAKEN HIM AWAY FROM US.
WORD OF THE ACCIDENT SPREAD
AND FRIENDS AND FAMILY GATHERED
FROM ALL OVER THE SURROUNDING
TO COMFORT THE GRIEVING FAMILY
AND TO PRAY.
SOME, INCLUDING LINDSEY'S
FELLOW TEACHERS MET IN THE
PARKING LOT BELOW MASON'S ROOM
AS HE WAS TAKEN INTO SURGERY TO
REPAIR HIS BROKEN FEMUR.
THEY DID A CANDLELIGHT VIGIL
FOR HIM.
IT'S AMAZING.
VERY HUMBLING.
THAT WAS VERY HEARTWARMING.
WE KNEW THAT MASON HAD LOTS
AND LOTS OF PRAYERS GOING UP
AND THAT'S WHAT WOULD GET HIM
THROUGH THIS.
THE SURGERY WAS SUCCESSFUL.
THEN AS THEY WAITED FOR HIS
LUNGS AND OTHER ORGANS TO HEAL
AND THE SWELLING IN HIS BRAIN
TO GO DOWN.
LINDSAY GOD LED HER TO READ
SOME 91 VERSE 11.
HE SHOWED ME THAT HE'S GIVEN
ANGELS TO GUARD US.
THAT EXPONENTIALLY INCREASED MY
FAITH AND I PRAYED THAT GOD
WOULD DISPATCH HIS GUARDIAN
ANGELS TO WATCH OVER AND OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
MASON'S LUNGS BEGAN TO
IMPROVE AND HIS LIVER HEALED.
BUT FRIDAY, FIVE DAYS AFTER
THE ACCIDENT, MASON'S KIDNEYS
STARTED A SIGN THAT HIS ORGANS
MAY BE SHUTTING DOWN.
DEFINITELY SCARY, BUT I JUST
HAD A SENSE OF PEACE ABOUT THAT
AND JUST TOTALLY UTTERLY
LEANING ON GOD IN A WAY THAT
HAD NEVER HAD TO BEFORE.
BY MONDAY MORNING MASON'S
KIDNEYS HAD DRASTICALLY
IMPROVED AND DOCTORS FELT
CERTAIN THEY WOULD FULLY
RECOVER.
WHAT THEY WEREN'T SURE ABOUT
WAS HOW MUCH IF ANY BRAIN
DAMAGE MASON SUFFERED.
THEN FOUR DAYS LATER ON JUNE
5TH, MASON WAS TAKEN OFF VENT
AND BROUGHT OUT OF THE COMA.
IT WAS AN ANXIOUS MOMENT FOR
LINDSAY.
HE DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY
RECOGNIZE ME AND THAT SCARED
ME.
HE RECOGNIZED MY MOM BUT HE DID
NOT RECOGNIZE ME.
THEN HALF AN HOUR LATER
MASON CALLED LINDSAY MOM AS HIS
MEMORY RETURNED AND WE KNEW
THAT HIS BRAIN FUNCTION WAS
FULLY THERE.
THAT WAS COMFORTING.
AFTER JUST OVER TWO WEEKS IN
THE HOSPITAL MASON WAS
RELEASED.
THAT HE'S HERE IS A MIRACLE
BUT THAT HE HAD NO PERMANENT
ORGAN DAMAGE.
PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE WHICH IS
A TOTAL MIRACLE.
TODAY MASON IS A HEALTHY,
ACTIVE BOY WHO STILL FLYING.
SOON AFTER THE ACCIDENT HE WAS
ACCEPTED HIS SCHOOL'S
ACADEMICALLY GIFTED PROGRAM.
AFTER ALL, HE'S THROUGH.
MASON HAS LEARNED A LOT
ABOUT PRAYER.
THE POWER OF PRAYER IS VERY
STRONG.
IT'S REALLY JUST COOL.
KNOW THAT ALL THOSE PEOPLE
CARED ABOUT ME?
PRAYER ALTERED THE STORY.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO
DIFFERENT.
YOU KNOW HE MAY NOT HAVE HEALED
AS QUICKLY.
WOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE POSSIBLY.
I THINK THAT THE LORD
DEFINITELY HONORS OUR PRAYER
AND I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT.
I JUST BELIEVE THAT THERE
WAS OF ANGELS THAT WERE
ASSIGNED TO HIM AT THAT MOMENT,
THAT DARK HIM OUT OF THAT PLANE
WHEN IT CRASHED.
MASON KEPT FLYING AND HE FLEW
WITH THEM.
BUT I THINK THAT WITHOUT THE
PRAYERS DON'T KNOW THAT WE
WOULD HAVE HAD THE SAME
OUTCOME.
THERE IS MONEY POWER IN, EVERY
PRAYER AND THE LORD IS STILL IN
THE MIRACLE BUSINESS.
HE'S STILL PERFORMING EVERY DAY
.
HE IS STILL PERFORMING MIRACLES
EVERY SINGLE DAY AND WE BELIEVE
THAT HE WILL DO A MIRACLE IN
YOUR LIFE EVEN TODAY EVEN IN
THESE NEXT FEW MOMENTS WE GO
BOLDLY TO THE THRONE ROOM OF
GRACE LIFTING YOUR NEEDS UP TO
OUR HEAVENLY FATHER WHO SEES
YOU WHO HEARS YOU AND WHO LOVES
YOU.
BUT BEFORE WE DO THAT WE WANT
TO ENCOURAGE YOU AND FAITH.
AND HERE ARE SOME AMAZING
ANSWER TO PRAYERS THAT HAPPENED
ON THIS PROGRAM RECENTLY.
THIS IS SHARON AND SHE EMAILED
US SAYING ON SEPTEMBER 14TH,
2023.
I WAS LISTENING TO THE 700 CLUB
AND GORDON SAID SOMEONE WITH
THE RIGHT EYE TWITCHING IS
CAUSING NERVE PROBLEMS.
I HAD EYE TWITCHING A FEW
MONTHS AND IT WAS STILL GOING
ON.
WHEN I HEARD GORDON I RECEIVED
THE PRAYER AND BELIEVED I WAS

I CONSUMED EACH TIME I FELT
NAUSEOUS SOMETIMES WONDERED IF

OF ELMO IS THE LIFE OF THE
PARTY A CENTER OF ATTENTION THE
PERSON EVERYONE HAD EYES ON?
WELL, HERE'S THE CATCH VERMA'S
REAL NAME WAS BLAKE AND BLAKE
WAS A MAN BLAKE HOWARD'S
JOURNEY TO HOMOSEXUAL STARTED
AT A YOUNG AGE.
RAISED IN A CHRISTIAN HOME HE
LONGED FOR THE AFFECTION OF HIS
FATHER BUT RARELY GOT TO SPEND
TIME WITH AS HE WAS ALWAYS AT
WORK.
INSTEAD BLAKE CONNECTED WITH
THE ONE PERSON WHO WAS THERE
FOR HIM HIS MOTHER.
THEN BEGAN TO KIND OF SEE
MYSELF TAKING ON KIND OF LIKE A
FEMALE ROLE GROWING UP WATCHING
CARTOONS AND DIFFERENT THINGS
LIKE THAT.
I FOUND MYSELF CONNECTING MORE
WITH THE FEMALE CHARACTERS
RATHER THAN THE MALE
CHARACTERS.
EVEN WHEN BLAKE AND HIS
FATHER DID HAVE TIME TOGETHER
IT WAS DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO
GET ALONG DUE TO BLAKE'S
FEMININE INTERESTS.
THIS LEFT HIM FEELING LIKE HE
WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH.
THEN AT SEVEN YEARS OLD, BLAKE
HAD A HOMOSEXUAL ENCOUNTER
INITIATED BY A FRIEND.
HE KNEW THAT NEITHER HIS
PARENTS NOR GOD WOULD APPROVE.
IT'S STILL LEFT HIM CONFUSED.
IT FELT WRONG.
IT FELT THAT WAS SOMETHING
WRONG OR DIRTY ABOUT IT.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME LIKE I AM
CURIOUS SO I NEVER TOLD MY
PARENTS.
I NEVER ABOUT IT BECAUSE I FELT
LIKE IT WAS SOMETHING THAT THE
LORD WAS NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE
TO FORGIVE ME OF.
AND THAT KIND OF LED ME INTO AS
I GREW UP INTO A TEENAGER KIND
OF JUST TURNING AWAY FROM GOD.
I WAS LIKE, WELL, I'M NOT
ENOUGH FOR HIM.
GOING INTO HIGH SCHOOL, BLAKE
WAS OFTEN BULLIED AND LABELED
AS GAY BY HIS PEERS BASED ON
HIS AND THE WAY HE DRESSED.
BLAKE DENIED IT EVEN THOUGH HE
DID FIND HIMSELF ATTRACTED TO
BOYS.
THEN IN HIS HIS SENIOR YEAR HE
LANDED A ROLE IN A SCHOOL PLAY
AS A WOMAN.
HIS PERFORMANCE WAS A HIT
AFTER SHOW.
PEOPLE WOULD COME UP TO ME AND
SAY OH MY GOSH, YOU DID SO
AMAZING.
I GOT THAT VALIDATION JUST
COMPLETELY LIKE OH, THIS IS
THIS IS GOOD.
THIS IS SO MAKES ME FEEL LIKE
I'M ENOUGH THIS MAKES ME FEEL
LIKE BELONG IS I'M ACCEPTED.
AND THAT WAS MY VERY FIRST
EXPERI SINCE BEING IN DRAG
QUEEN.
BLAKE TOOK ON THE PERSONA
VELMA AND PARTICIPATED IN MORE
EVENTS IN DRAG THOUGH UNDER AGE
HE WENT TO GAY BARS WHERE HE
BEGAN USING ALCOHOL AND WHILE
DEVELOPING HOMOSEXUAL
RELATIONSHIPS.
BUT AFTER A TIME THE HEAVY
PARTYING BEGAN TO WEIGH ON HIM
ALL THE THINGS THAT I TRIED TO
USE TO FILL THE VOID AND HOLES
IN MY HEART LIKE I WAS STILL
BROKEN AND IT SCARED ME.
I ALMOST OVERDOSED ON COCAINE.
I STARTED LOOKING AT CHRISTIAN
COLLEGES TO GO TO BECAUSE I
WANTED TO GET MY LIFE TOGETHER
AT LEAST AS FAR AS THE DRUGS
AND THE ALCOHOL BUT THE
HOMOSEXUAL LIFESTYLE SOMETHING
HE PLANNED TO GIVE UP.
IN 19 BLAKE WAS ACCEPTED INTO A
CHRISTIAN COLLEGE IN ALABAMA.
THEN ONE NIGHT AT A WORSHIP
SERVICE ON CAMPUS HE HAD A
PROFOUND EXPERIENCE.
I FELT JESUS JUST COME UP
BEHIND ME AND JUST LIKE HOLD ME
AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN LIKE FELT
ALL OF THE HOLES FILL UP IN MY
HEART.
I BEGAN JUST GO ON THIS
JOURNEY WITH THE LORD AND I
STARTED LIKE PURSUING HIS
PRESENCE.
I WANTED TO BE WITH JESUS
BUT STRUGGLED WITH SAME SEX
ATTRACTION.
BLAKE DEVOTED HIMSELF TO
STUDYING THE BIBLE AND WHILE HE
DID GIVE UP ALCOHOL AND DRUGS.
HE WAS DETERMINED TO CARRY ON
AS THE DRAG QUEEN VELMA AND
MAINTAIN HIS HOMOSEXUAL
LIFESTYLE AND SECRET.
HEARING WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
BUT ALSO OBVIOUSLY KNOWING IN
MY MIND THAT I STILL LIKE GUYS
AND THEN I WOULD SPEND LIKE THE
NEXT 45 MINUTES OR AN HOUR
DURING WORSHIP LIKE BEING IN
THE ALTAR OR FEELING LIKE I WAS
A PIECE OF AND JUST LIKE
APOLOGIZING AGAIN TO THE LORD
ALL WHILE STILL TRYING TO MAKE
OKAY IN MY HEAD THAT I COULD
BECAME CHRISTIAN.
IT WAS LIKE THIS CONSTANT
AND FORTH KIND OF THING.
BUT THE MORE HE READ THE BIBLE
AND SPENT WITH GOD THE MORE HE
WANTED TO CHANGE.
ONE DAY I WAS IN PRAYER AND THE
LORD SPOKE TO ME AND HE SAID IT
IS NOT A GAY TO STRAIGHT
TRANSITION IT'S FROM BROKEN
WHOLE TRANSITION.
I WAS FINISHING MY MAKEUP AND I
REMEMBER LOOKING IN THE MIRROR
AND THINKING LIKE I DON'T WANT
TO DO THIS ANYMORE.
IT'S NOT WHO I AM AND SO I
BEGAN TO FEEL LESS AND LESS
CONNECTED TO VELMA AND LESS AND
LESS TO THE LGBTQ AND I'M NOT
GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN THOSE
THINGS BECAUSE I WANT TO PURSUE
JESUS MORE THAN I WANT A.
I BEGAN TO FEEL THIS HAPPINESS
JOY LIKE BECAUSE HE GENUINELY
CARES AND LOVES ME.
BLAKE OPENED UP TO CHRISTIAN
MENTORS WHO HELPED HIM STAY
ACCOUNTABLE.
HE ALSO MET A CHRISTIAN WOMAN
WHILE IN COLLEGE AND STRUGGLED
WITH SAME SEX ATTRACTION AS
WELL AND THE TWO BECAME CLOSE
FRIENDS AND THEN FELL IN LOVE.
YEARS LATER THEY MARRIED AND
ARE STARTING A FAMILY.
BLAKE IS NOW A PASTOR SHARING
ABOUT THE WHOLENESS HE FOUND IN
JESUS CHRIST.
GOD CAN DELIVER YOU AND MAKE
YOU FREE.
WHOLENESS IS WHEN YOU BEGIN TO
TRULY RELY ON JESUS FOR
EVERYTHING MORE THAT I WENT
AFTER JESUS THE LESS THAT I
CARED ABOUT EX-BOYFRIEND THEN
THE LESS I CARED ABOUT WALKING
INTO AND BEING ATTRACTED TO 80%
OF THE GUYS IN THERE JUST GOING
FROM BEING THIS DRUGGY DRAG
QUEEN TO SEE THAT HE HAD CALLED
ME TO SO MUCH MORE IS JUST MIND
BOGGLING.
THE LORD MOVED IN SUCH A WAY
LIKE IT RESTORED MY
RELATIONSHIP WITH MY DAD.
I WAS LOOKING FOR A MAN TO FILL
THAT VOID IN MY HEART AND I
FINALLY ONE THAT COMPLETELY
GAVE ME EVERYTHING I NEED.
AND HIS NAME IS JESUS BLAKE
STORY BE LIKE YOUR STORY AND I
THINK ALL COMPULSIONS FALL
WITHIN THOSE WHERE YOU
EXPERIENCE AND SUDDENLY YOU
HAVE THIS SENSE WELL, I'M NOW
ENOUGH I'M NOW ACCEPTED IF I IF
I DO THIS THING I'M NOW GOING
TO BE ACCEPTED.
I'M NOW GOING TO BELONG.
ALL OF THOSE THINGS HAPPENED TO
BLAKE BUT IN IT HE KNEW HE WAS
BEING TORN.
HE KNEW THAT IT WASN'T RIGHT.
HE HAD THIS INNERMOST SENSE.
THIS ISN'T RIGHT.
THIS IS WHO I REALLY AM.
NOW YOU WHATEVER COMPULSION
YOU'RE YOU'RE SUFFERING FROM IF
YOU THINK IN YOUR MIND THAT
IT'S THE COMPULSION THAT YOU
NEED TO GET RID OF.
LISTEN TO WHAT JESUS TOLD BLAKE
THE IS NOT FROM THAT TO NOT
THAT IT'S FROM BROKENNESS TO
WHOLENESS THAT WHEN YOU GET
THAT HOLE IN YOUR HEART FILLED
WITH PRESENCE NOTHING ELSE
MATTERS.
SO WHETHER IT'S AN ADDICTION TO
CIGARETS OR AN ADDICTION TO
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL OR GAMBLING OR
SEX HAS A VARIETY OF
COMPULSIONS AND ADDICTIONS
WHATEVER IT IS.
WHEN BECOME WHOLE IN HIM AND
YOU HAVE THAT RELATIONSHIP
NOTHING ELSE COMPARES AND
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS AND IT'S
WONDERFUL.
YOU CAN HAVE THIS ENCOUNTER.
FOR BLAKE IT HAPPENED AT A
WORSHIP SERVICE AND THEN IT
TOOK A TRANSITION PERIOD FOR
HIM.
CAN HAVE THIS AND YOU CAN HAVE
IT RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE AND
RIGHT.
IT'S A VERY SIMPLE PRAYER.
JESUS IF YOU'RE THERE, IF
YOU'RE REAL, IF YOU REALLY CAN
SAVE ME, IF YOU CAN REALLY MAKE
ME WHOLE AGAIN WELL THEN I WANT
THAT.
I WANT YOU COULD JUST SHOW UP.
COULD YOU SHOW UP FOR ME IF YOU
NEED TO GET RID OF SIN IF YOU
NEED TO REPENT YOU NEED TO
TURN.
ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE
WONDERFUL.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK HIM
TO HELP YOU CHANGE YOUR
THINKING.
BELIEVE THE GOOD NEWS JESUS
WANTS TO HELP YOU.
HE WANTS TO DELIVER.
HE WANTS TO SET YOU FREE
FROM ANY COMPULSION ANYTHING
THAT TAKES YOU AWAY FROM HIM.
HE WANTS YOU AND YOU ARE
ACCEPTED BY HIM.

PRAYER WE'VE GOT A FREE NUMBER

CALL US ONE 800 707,000.
