TODAY'S 700 CLUB WELCOME TO THE

700 CLUB.

ESCAPE AND GENOCIDE MORE THAN

100,000 ETHNIC ARMENIANS HAVE

FLED THE TERRITORY THEY'VE

CALLED HOME FOR CENTURIES.

WELL, MORE THAN 85% OF THE

POPULATION IS NOW SEEKING

REFUGE AFTER AZERBAIJAN BACKED

BY TURKEY TOOK OVER HOMELAND

THAT THEY'VE BEEN THERE SINCE

ANCIENT TIMES.

DALE HURD HAS THE STORY.

FAMILIES PACKED INTO CARS

AND TRUCKS WITH WHATEVER

BELONGINGS THEY CAN CARRY HAVE

BEEN ARRIVING IN ARMENIA FROM

NAGORNO AFTER AZERBAIJAN OPENED

THE ONLY ROAD OUT LAST WEEK.

THEY SAY THEY'RE FLEEING FOR

THEIR LIVES.

ARMIN GHAZARIAN HER HUSBAND AND

FOUR CHILDREN ARE AMONG THE

REFUGEES.

SHE SAID WHEN THE WAR BROKE

OUT, CHILDREN WERE OUTSIDE AND

THEY CAME TO ME SCREAMING THE

WAR HAS STARTED.

THE SHELLING WAS FROM ALL

SIDES.

THE CHILDREN WERE CRYING.

TO BE HONEST I WAS SCARED TO

MYRA WHO'S 70 YEARS OLD, SAYS I

WENT TO BRING THE KIDS HOME I

WAS NEXT TO THE KIROV BRIDGE

AND AT THAT MOMENT THE SHELLING

STARTED.

KIDS WERE CRYING.

I TRIED TO CALM THEM DOWN.

IN AN ADDRESS ARMENIA'S

PRIME MINISTER CALLED IT A

DIRECT ACT ETHNIC CLEANSING AND

THAT WITHOUT CONCRETE ACTION BY

THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

THEY WERE JUST CREATING MORAL

STATISTICS FOR.

THE EXODUS OF ARMENIANS FROM

KARABAKH CONTINUES AS A RESULT

OF AZERBAIJAN'S ETHNIC

CLEANSING POLICY AND THE IS

SHOW THAT IN THE COMING DAYS

THERE WILL BE NO MORE ARMENIANS

LEFT IN THE GOLDEN KARABAKH.

THIS IS A DIRECT ACT OF ETHNIC

CLEANSING AND DEPRIVATION OF A

HOMELAND AS WE HAVE BEEN

TELLING THE INTERNATIONAL

COMMUNITY FOR A LONG TIME.

JOEL VEILED CAMP OF

CHRISTIAN SOLIDARITY CALLED IT

A REFUGEE CRISIS OF IMMENSE

PROPORTIONS.

MANY OF THEM ARE HAPPENING

FOR THEMSELVES.

MANY OF THEM WE'VE SEEN ARE

SLEEPING IN THEIR CARS OR

SLEEPING IN TENTS OR SLEEPING

IN THE STREETS OF THE THE CITY

OF GORI WHICH IS CLOSE TO

NAGORNO-KARABAKH AND ARMENIA.

ARMENIA IS NOT A RICH BY ANY

MEANS.

IT'S THIS IS GOING TO BE AN

ENORMOUS REFUGEE CRISIS, AN

ENORMOUS CHALLENGE FOR ALL THE

AID ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TO

HELP THESE PEOPLE.

ARMENIANS HAVE LIVED IN

NAGORNO-KARABAKH FOR CENTURIES

BUT IT'S BEEN AT THE CENTER OF

A BLOODY CONFLICT AZERBAIJAN

AND ARMENIA SINCE THE LATE

1980S WHEN THE TWO FORMER

SOVIET REPUBLICS A WAR DURING

THE COLLAPSE OF THE USSR.

THE TERRITORY HAS A RICH

CHRISTIAN HISTORY THAT IS AT

RISK OF BEING WIPED.

SOME HERE BELIEVE ARMENIA

ITSELF ONE OF THE OLDEST

CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES IN THE

WORLD IS PROBABLY THE NEXT

TARGET FOR TURKEY AND AS THEIR

BHAIJAAN THE UNITED STATES AND

OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES HAVE SO

FAR ONLY EXPRESSED CONCERN

ABOUT THE REFUGEE CRISIS.

A LOT ARMENIANS RIGHT NOW ARE

VERY UPSET BECAUSE AS YOU SAID,

THIS BLOCKADE LASTED FOR MONTHS

AND THEY WERE CRYING OUT FOR

HELP TO BRING THESE NINE MONTHS

AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE GLOBAL

CHURCH REALLY DIDN'T LISTEN.

OPERATION BLESSING SENT

BOXES OF FOOD AND HYGIENE

PRODUCTS TO NAGORNO-KARABAKH IN

THE MONTHS LEADING UP TO THIS

CRISIS.

NOW OPERATION BLESSING MOVING

TO BEGIN HELPING REFUGEES

ARRIVING IN ARMENIA.

CBN'S ORPHANS PROMISE HAS ALSO

BEEN ON THE GROUND IN ARMENIA

MORE THAN A DECADE AND IS

PREPARED TO WORK THROUGH ITS

NETWORK OF CHURCHES TO ASSIST

IN THE RELIEF EFFORTS.

DALE CBN NEWS.

WHILE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO

THE WAR BUT WE CAN HELP THESE

REFUGEES IN THEIR TIME OF

CRISIS.

THERE IS ETHNIC CLEANSING

GOING ON.

THIS HAS BEEN A REPEATED THING

FOR THE ARMENIAN PEOPLE GOING

BACK OVER 100 YEARS AND THE

GENOCIDE THAT TURKEY INFLICTED

ON THAT PEOPLE WAS JUST

LITERALLY UP IN HISTORY.

WE DON'T LIKE TO TALK ABOUT.

WELL, WE COVER THIS ONE UP.

IT SEEMS THE INTERNATIONAL

COMMUNITY IS ABSOLUTELY

IGNORING IT.

BUT LET'S DO OUR PART.

LET'S HELP IF YOU WANT TO BE

PART OF THE OPERATION BLESSING

ORPHANS PROMISE RELIEF EFFORT

INTO ARMENIA TO HELP THESE

WONDERFUL REFUGEES.

HOW CAN WE NOT REACH OUT WITH

HANDS OF LOVE AND COMPASSION TO

THEM.

YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF IT?

CALL US ONE 800 707,000.

JUST SAY I WANT TO GIVE TO THE

OPERATION BLESSING DISASTER

FUND.

YOU CAN ALSO TEXT OB CRISIS TO

71777.

WELL IN OTHER NEWS CONGRESS

AVERTED A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

ON SATURDAY THAT'S SOMETHING I

DIDN'T THINK WAS GOING TO

HAPPEN.

BUT IN THE PROCESS THERE IS A

CIVIL WAR IN THE GOP.

JOHN HAS MORE ON THAT STORY

FROM OUR CBN NEWS BUREAU IN

WASHINGTON JOHN.

THAT IS RIGHT, GORDON.

ONE GOP HOLDOUT IS

THREATENING TO TAKE THE SPEAKER

DOWN AFTER.

KEVIN MCCARTHY TURNED TO

HOUSE DEMOCRATS TO KEEP THE

GOVERNMENT OPEN A THAT 90 OF

HIS FELLOW REPUBLICANS VOTED

AGAINST CBN'S.

EPHRAIM GRAHAM HAS MORE.

THE STOPGAP MEASURE KEEPS

THE GOVERNMENT OPEN FOR 45 DAYS

THROUGH NOVEMBER 17TH.

IT ALSO DOES NOT ANY AID FOR

UKRAINE WHICH PRESIDENT BIDEN

AND MANY REPUBLICANS SAY IS

CRUCIAL TO THE REPUBLICANS WHO

SAY UKRAINE DOESN'T MATTER TO

US.

YOU'RE WRONG.

RESPECTFULLY YOU'RE WRONG.

THE WAR GETS BIGGER, NOT

SMALLER.

BIDEN CRITICIZING REPUBLICANS

FOR THE LAST MINUTE CHAOS.

I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THE

BRINKSMANSHIP.

AND SO ARE THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE.

REPUBLICANS ARE ACCUSING A

DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN OF

OBSTRUCTING THE PROCESS BY

PULLING A FIRE ALARM SATURDAY.

THIS VIDEO SEEMS TO SHOW NEW

YORK'S JAMAAL BOWMAN ACTIVATING

THE ALARM.

HE CALLED IT AN INNOCENT

MISTAKE.

CAPITOL POLICE ARE

INVESTIGATING.

BUT IT'S REPUBLICANS INFIGHTING

THAT THREATENS TO OVERWHELM THE

HOUSE AFTER GOP HOLDOUTS REFUSE

SUPPORT A BILL THAT INCLUDED

STRONGER BORDER PROTECTIONS AND

SPENDING CUTS.

HOUSE LEADER KEVIN MCCARTHY

HAD TO BRING ON DEMOCRATS TO

PASS THE CONTINUING RESOLUTION.

DO YOU HAVE MEMBERS YOUR

CONFERENCE THAT WON'T LET YOU

VOTE FOR APPROPRIATION BILLS?

DOESN'T AN OMNIBUS AND WON'T

VOTE FOR A STOPGAP MEASURE?

I DON'T WANT BE A PART OF THAT

TEAM.

I WANT TO BE A PART OF A

CONSERVATIVE GROUP THAT WANTS

TO GET THINGS DONE.

IN RESPONSE, FLORIDA

REPRESENTATIVE MATT GET SAYS

AIMING TO TAKE THE SPEAKER OUT.

I AM RELENTLESS AND.

I WILL CONTINUE TO PURSUE

THIS OBJECTIVE.

MCCARTHY SOUNDING READY FOR A

FIGHT.

BRING IT ON.

LET'S GET OVER WITH IT AND

LET'S START GOVERNING.

SINCE THE GOP A SLIM MAJORITY

IN THE HOUSE THAT WOULD ONLY

TAKE A FEW REPUBLICAN VOTES TO

REMOVE MCCARTHY AS SPEAKER.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE NOT

PREPARED THROW HIM A LIFELINE.

IT'S UP TO THE REPUBLICAN

CONFERENCE TO DETERMINE THEIR

OWN AND DEAL WITH THEIR OWN

PROBLEMS.

BUT IT'S NOT UP TO DEMOCRATS TO

SAVE REPUBLICANS FROM

THEMSELVES ESPECIALLY NOW SOME

HOUSE ARE TAKING AIM AT GETZ

WHO IS UNDER INVESTIGATION BY

ETHICS COMMITTEE FOR

ALLEGATIONS OF CAMPAIGN

VIOLATIONS INCLUDING TAKING

BRIBES.

FOX NEWS REPORTS ONE GOP

CONGRESSMAN SAYING HOUSE

MEMBERS ARE PREPARING A MOTION

TO EXPEL GETZ IF THE COMMITTEE

FINDS HIM GUILTY GETS COULD

FACE A VOTE TO REMOVE MCCARTHY

AS SPEAKER EARLY AS THIS WEEK.

AND FROM GRAHAM CBN

NEWS WELL, TENS OF MILLIONS OF

AMERICANS ARE RECALCULATING

THEIR BUDGETS ONCE

INCLUDE PAYING OFF THEIR

STUDENT DEBT PAYMENTS RESUME

WEEK AFTER A THREE YEAR BREAK

DUE TO THE PANDEMIC.

MORE THAN 45 MILLION PEOPLE

OWE ABOUT $1.7 TRILLION IN

STUDENT LOANS.

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TRIED

TO CANCEL ABOUT $20 MILLION OF

THE DEBT BUT THE SUPREME COURT

RULED AGAINST THE PROGRAM.

IT ALL HITS AS CONSUMERS ARE

ALREADY STRUGGLING WITH HIGH

PRICES AND HIGH INTEREST RATES

RAISED BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE

TO FIGHT INFLATION.

NEW REPORT SHOWS 60% OF

AMERICANS ARE LIVING PAYCHECK

TO PAYCHECK.

WELL THE PRICE OF

TRANSPORTATION IS ADDING TO

AMERICAN'S BUDGET BURDENS.

NEW CAR PRICES ARE UP 4% AND

THE COST TO MAINTAIN AN OLD CAR

ARE ALSO RISING.

FOR A SINGLE MOTHER WHO DEPENDS

ON A TO GET TO WORK AND FEED

HER FAMILY THAT PRESENTS AN

ESPECIALLY TREMENDOUS

CHALLENGE.

AS CBN'S CHARLENE AARON

SHOWS US.

THAT'S WHERE MINISTRY CALLED

GOD'S GARAGE TAKES THE WHEEL.

GOD'S GARAGE A CRISIS CENTER

NONPROFIT PROVIDES, RELIABLE

TRANSPORTATION TO SINGLE

MOTHERS, WIDOWS AND OF DEPLOYED

MILITARY.

IT ALSO HELPS EMPOWER THESE

WOMEN BY OFFERING SPECIAL

TRAINING AND SHARING THE GOOD

NEWS.

JESUS.

WE RECEIVE OVER TWO HUNDRED

APPLICATIONS PER OF WOMEN IN

NEED OF A VEHICLE.

THE MISSION GOD'S GARAGE IS

SIMPLE REPAIR AND GIFT VEHICLES

TO THOSE STRUGGLING THROUGHOUT

THE GREATER HOUSTON AREA.

IT'S HARD TIMES VEHICLE

PRICES ARE UP.

THE WAY WE MEET THOSE NEEDS BY

RECEIVING DONATED VEHICLES FROM

THE PUBLIC AND THOSE DONATED

VEHICLES COME INTO OUR SHOP AND

WE SPEND TIME, HOURS, MONEY,

EVERYTHING THAT'S NEEDED TO GET

THOSE VEHICLES UP AND RUNNING

AND THEN OUR JOB IS TO TURN

AROUND AND GIVE THOSE VEHICLES

AWAY TO A MUCH NEEDED SINGLE

MOM.

DURING AN APPEARANCE ON

CBN'S PRAYER LINK EXECUTIVE

DIRECTOR JUSTIN COGGINS SHARED

HOW IT ALL STARTED.

OUR FOUNDER ACTUALLY WAS A

PASTOR AND HE LOVED TINKERING

WITH CARS AND WORKING ON

VEHICLES.

THERE HAPPENED TO BE A

SINGLE MOM WALKING ON A VERY,

VERY BUSY ROADWAY HERE IN

CONROE, TEXAS AND IT HAPPENED

TO BE IN THE EVENING.

HE STOPS BY.

FINDS OUT WHY IS SHE WALKING

ON THIS ROAD AT THIS TIME OF

DAY IN SUCH HEAVY TRAFFIC?

AND COME TO FIND OUT A

SINGLE MOM ACTUALLY HAD A

VEHICLE.

IT WAS IN A SHOP BUT SHE COULD

NOT AFFORD TO GET IT OUT AND

THEY WERE ABLE TO WORK ON IT

AND GET THAT VEHICLE FIXED AND

RIGHT THEN AND THERE THAT'S

WHERE SINGLE MOM STARTED A ROLE

IN GARAGE.

THE IMPACT HAS BEEN LIFE

CHANGING.

HAVING VEHICLES IN A SINGLE MOM

OR A WIDOW'S HAND BRINGS

CONSISTENCY BACK TO THEIR LIFE.

IT HELPS THEM GET THEIR KIDS

SCHOOL ON TIME ON A DAILY BASIS

AND HELPS THEM GET TO THE

GROCERY STORE WHEN THEY WANT TO

GET THERE.

IT THEM GET THE DOCTOR'S

APPOINTMENTS AND HELPS THEM IN

MULTIPLE WAYS WAYS PROVEN TO BE

REWARDING FOR ALL INVOLVED.

LAST YEAR WE GAVE AWAY 94

VEHICLES THE YEAR BEFORE.

AROUND 9596 VEHICLES AND.

SO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM IS

IS HEART MOVING.

IT'LL BRING YOU TO TEARS

BECAUSE OF THE STRUGGLE TO HELP

WITH THAT STRUGGLE.

THE MINISTRY ALSO PROVIDES LIFE

SKILLS TRAINING FOR BUDGETING,

MEAL PLANNING, SINGLE PARENTING

AND JOB PURSUITS LIKE

INTERVIEWS.

SPIRITUAL NEEDS ARE ALSO

THROUGH AN OUTREACH CALLED

RESTORE YOU.

WE PRESENT THE GOSPEL AND

GIVE EVERY SINGLE LADY AN

OPPORTUNITY TO ACCEPT JESUS

CHRIST AS THEIR LORD AND

SAVIOR.

WE'RE SEEING 3025 TO 30% OF THE

LADIES ACCEPT JESUS CRIES FOR

THE FIRST TIME ALL PART OF THE

MISSION OF RESTORING LIVES.

ONE RIDE AT A TIME.

CHARLENE AARON CBN NEWS.

THANKS CHARLENE MEETING.

WHEN YOU SEE A NEED I LOVE

THAT PHILOSOPHY.

GORDON HAS A GREAT PHILOSOPHY

AND IT COMES STRAIGHT OUT OF

THE BIBLE.

LOOK AT IT AS A 58 THIS IS THE

FAST I'VE CALLED IT TOO.

WHEN SEE PEOPLE IN TROUBLE

WHEN YOU SEE PEOPLE HUNGRY FEED

THEM.

WHEN YOU SEE PEOPLE NAKED

THEM PROVIDE HOUSING FOR THEM.

AND IN TODAY'S CULTURE

DIDN'T HAVE AUTOMOBILES BACK IN

THE DAY BUT WE DO AND JUST HOW

ESSENTIAL THEY'VE BECOME IN

ORDER TO SURVIVE.

CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING A SINGLE

MOTHER WITHOUT TRANSFER STATION

WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN FOR YOUR

CHILDREN?

WHAT WOULD THAT MEAN FOR YOU?

WHAT GREAT IDEA.

IF YOU WANT TO FIND OUT MORE

INFORMATION ABOUT GOD'S YOU CAN

INFORMATION ABOUT GOD'S YOU CAN

GO TO THAT STORY ON CBN

NEWS DOT COM.

HUNDRED FLY STAKE ENACTED WITH

CBN NEWS ALL DAY ACROSS OUR

PLATFORMS A BATTLE IS UNDERWAY

OVER THE WORLD'S FOOD AND

AFRICA IS GROUND ZERO.

CHINA'S TERM INVESTMENT IN

AFRICAN NATIONS IS TURNING THE

CONTINENT INTO A BREADBASKET TO

FEED THE CHINESE AND THAT COULD

MEAN SHORTAGES FOR THE UNITED

STATES AND THE REST OF THE

WORLD.

GARY LANE REPORTS.

THIS NEW WAR IS HAPPENING

RIGHT NOW ARMIES OR ANY SHOTS

BEING FIRED.

IT'S A GLOBAL STRUGGLE WITH

DEADLY CONSEQUENCES.

WHO WILL DOMINATE THE WORLD?

FOOD SUPPLY?

FOOD IS POWER.

WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT.

AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS

FOR THE UNITED STATES.

OUR COUNTRY'S FORMER U.N. FOR

FOOD AND AGRICULTURE KIP TOM

CONTENDS AFRICA IS THE NEW

BATTLEGROUND IN A CONFLICT OVER

GLOBAL FOOD DOMINANCE.

CHINA WANTS TO SEIZE CONTROL

OF THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA.

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MINING AND

THE CRITICAL MINERALS.

IT'S ABOUT AGRICULTURAL

PRODUCTIVITY.

GATES STONE INSTITUTE CHINA

ANALYST GORDON CHANG AGREES

CHINA HAS A FOOD PROBLEM IS

WORSENING FOOD SHORTAGES.

SELF-SUFFICIENCY PERCENTAGES

FOR FOOD FOR CHINA ARE

RELENTLESSLY FALLING.

THAT'S WHY THIS YEAR PORTS

IN SHANGHAI ARE REPORTEDLY ON

TARGET TO RECEIVE A QUARTER OF

A MILLION TONNES OF FOOD FROM

VALUED AT MORE THAN HALF

$1,000,000,000.

THE UNION WANTS TO EXPAND

TRADE WITH BEIJING AND GAIN

CHINESE INNOVATION TO HELP

EXPAND LONG TERM FOOD

PRODUCTION.

CURRENT AGRICULTURAL HAS HELPED

SOUTH AFRICA AND NIGERIA BECOME

THE CONTINENT'S LARGEST FOOD

PRODUCERS.

AMBASSADOR TOM SUGGESTS THAT

LED TO AN AUGUST VISIT BY

CHINESE DIPLOMATS WITH NIGERIAN

OFFICIALS FOLLOWED BY PRESIDENT

JINPING'S TRIP TO SOUTH AFRICA

FOR THE CONFERENCE.

THE REALITY IS THE CHINESE

COMMUNIST PARTY GOES IN THROUGH

EVERY COUNTRY IN AFRICA

INVESTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND

OTHER PROJECTS AND ACTUALLY THE

COUNTRY'S NATURAL RESOURCES.

BUT THEIR ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO

HAVE AFRICA BE THE BREADBASKET

OR THE COUNTRY OF CHINA TO FEED

THEIR 1.4 BILLION PEOPLE.

AND YOU KNOW, WE SHOULDN'T

HAVE TO WORRY JUST ABOUT

AFRICA.

WE SHOULD BE WORRYING ABOUT THE

US.

A FUTURE CONFLICT OVER TAIWAN

OR TARIFFS AND TRADE BATTLES

COULD PLACE THE U.S. FOOD

SUPPLY AT.

THREATENED REGIMES OFTEN USE

FOOD AS A WEAPON AGAINST

OPPONENTS.

DURING THE 1990S THE PEOPLE

OF SOUTH SUDAN REFUSED TO

EMBRACE ISLAM AND THE KHARTOUM

GOVERNMENT RETALIATED BY

DENYING THEM FOOD CAUSING MANY

TO DIE FROM STARVATION.

CHANG WARNS AMERICANS SHOULD

HAVE LEARNED FROM THE COVID

PANDEMIC ABOUT SCARCITY.

WHILE U.S. CONSUMERS COULDN'T

GET MEAT AT GROCERY STORES THE

WORLD'S TOP PORK PRODUCER

CHINESE OWNED SMITHFIELD FOODS

SHIPPED FOR IT TO CHINA.

ALTHOUGH SMITHFIELD NOT A STATE

OWNED COMPANY, CHANG BELIEVES

IT OPERATED AT THE BEHEST THE

CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY.

IT HAD TO DO WITH THE PARTY

WANTED IT SHIPPED PORK TO CHINA

AT THE GREAT DETRIMENT TO THE

UNITED STATES.

SO WE GOT A PROBLEM AT HOME.

CHINA IS ALSO TAKING STEPS TO

LESSEN ITS RELIANCE ON U.S.

GROWN FOOD.

IT'S TURNED TO BRAZIL

MAKING IT THE TOP EXPORTER OF

AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS TO CHINA

PROVIDING 20% OF THE COUNTRY'S

FOOD SUPPLY.

SO WHAT CAN BE DONE IN THE

SHORT TERM TO STRENGTHEN THE

FOOD SECURITY OF THE UNITED

STATES?

AMBASSADOR TOM INSISTS THE

COUNTRY NEEDS TO INCREASE

DOMESTIC FOOD PRODUCTION AND

MANUFACTURE ITS OWN CRITICAL

AGRICULTURE PRODUCTS LIKE

FERTILIZERS AND OTHERS RATHER

THAN GETTING FROM ADVERSARIES

LIKE RUSSIA, BELARUS AND CHINA.

THIS IS A WAKE UP CALL AND

WE CAN BE A FOOD POWER AND WE

COULD USE IT IN A MANNER THAT

BENEFITS THE UNITED STATES.

BUT OUR FRIENDS AND ALLIES

AROUND THE WORLD.

CHANG CONTENDS CHINA IS

MOTIVATED BY THE DOCTRINE OF

TIANSHAN THE BELIEF THE CCP HAS

THE RIGHT TO RULE ALL UNDER

HEAVEN AND AN OBLIGATION TO DO

SO.

CHINA IS TRYING TO DOMINATE

BECAUSE IT WANTS TO RULE THE

WORLD.

AND SO WE'VE GOT TO

UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT OF WHAT

IS OCCURRING AND THE

SIGNIFICANCE OF IS OCCURRING.

AND WE AMERICANS HAVE NOT BEEN

GOOD DOING THAT.

WE JUST IGNORE WHAT OUR

ENEMIES SAY.

WE IGNORE OSAMA BIN LADEN UNTIL

911.

WE'RE IGNORING CHINESE NOW.

GARY LANE, CBN NEWS.

I HOPE THIS STORY IS A WAKE

UP CALL FOR YOU AS A VOTER WHEN

YOU SEE HOW CHINA IS MAKING

VERY STRATEGIC MOVES AROUND THE

WORLD AND WHETHER IN BRAZIL OR

IN AFRICA TRYING TO SECURE

THEIR FOOD SUPPLY OR WHETHER

IT'S TRYING TO TIE UP THE

PHARMACY ARTICLE INDUSTRIES OR

WHETHER IT'S TRYING TO TIE UP

ALL THE COMPUTER CHIPS, ALL OF

THOSE THINGS.

THEY'RE VERY ACTIVE IN

TRYING TO OBTAIN WORLD

DOMINATION OVER WHAT ARE WE

SPENDING OUR TIME ON.

WE'RE DEBATING WHETHER OR NOT

TO EVEN KEEP THE GOVERNMENT.

AND THAT SHOWS JUST HOW FAR

WE'VE FALLEN FROM OUR POSITION

AS THE LEADER OF THE WORLD WHEN

WE CAN'T EVEN COME TO AGREEMENT

THAT WHILE IT MIGHT BE A GOOD

IDEA KEEP THE GOVERNMENT THAT

IT JUST ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE TO

ME.

BUT CHINA'S ON THE MOVE AND

THEIR INTENTION TO BE THE

DOMINANT POWER IN JUST THE NEXT

FEW DECADES.

THEY'RE WELL ON OUR WAY.

THEY'RE WELL ON OUR WAY.

WELL ON THEIR WAY.

I THINK WE'RE WELL OUR WAY TO

SAYING WE GIVE UP.

ASHLEY.

WELL, HE MARCHED RIGHT INTO THE

OFFICE OF ONE OF THE MOST

POWERFUL AND BROADCASTING.

NOT LONG AFTER THAT HE BECAME A

TELEVISION IN HIS OWN RIGHT.

THE STORY OF HOW PAT ROBERTSON

BEGAN IS NOTHING SHORT OF

LEGENDARY.

AND TODAY 62 YEARS WE WANT TO

TAKE YOU TAKE A LOOK BACK AT

HOW FAR WE'VE COME AND WHERE

WE'RE HEADED NEXT.

CBS, THE CHRISTIAN

BROADCASTING NETWORK DOESN'T

SEEM LIKE THEY'RE DOING RIGHT.

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

WE NEED TO PAY EVERYBODY WHAT

BIBLE SAYS THAT IF YOU BELIEVE

IN JESUS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE HALLELUJAH

WHEN YOU TURN ON THE 700 CLUB

YOU'RE WATCHING A PROGRAM THAT

HAS BEEN ON THE AIR

CONTINUOUSLY SINCE 1966.

ONE IS ONE OF THE LONGEST

RUNNING DAILY PROGRAMS IN.

TELEVISION HISTORY PROBABLY

SEEN MORE COME TO THE LORD

THROUGH CBN THAN ANY OTHER

ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD.

BUT IT WASN'T ME.

IT WAS GOD.

IT WAS AN UNBELIEVABLE LEAP OF

FAITH FOR A MAN WHO DIDN'T OWN

TV SET TO JUMP INTO

TELECOMMUNICATIONS.

I DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY BUT A

LOT OF FAITH I SUPPOSE.

SO I GOT AN APPOINTMENT WITH

DAVID SARNOFF WHO WAS THEN

CHAIRMAN THE BOARD OF RCA AND

TOLD HIM THAT WE NEEDED SOME

HELP AND THAT WE WANTED TO BUY

SOME EQUIPMENT FROM HIM.

WELL, HE LOOKED AT ME.

HE SAID YOU DON'T SOUND LIKE

MUCH OF A BUYER TO ME.

UNDAUNTED BY HIS SKEPTICISM,

PAT BOUGHT THE EQUIPMENT HE

NEEDED FROM RCA TO GET THE

TRANSMITTER AND CAMERA WORKING

.

HE SWITCHED ON THE TRANSMITTER,

FRAMED UP THE CAMERA AND WENT

ON THE AIR WITH HIS BIBLE IN

HAND.

THE INAUGURAL BROADCAST OF THE

CHRISTIAN BROADCASTING NETWORK

MADE IT TO THE END OF THE BLOCK

AND THERE IT NEVER STOPPED.

OVER THE DECADES MILLIONS HAVE

RESPONDED TO CHRIST AS PAT

SPOKE DIRECTLY VIEWERS.

LORD JESUS.

THAT'S RIGHT.

PRAY WITH ME LORD JESUS.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH

TODAY PROGRAMING AS SEEN IN

MORE THAN 160 COUNTRIES AND

TERRITORIES AROUND THE WORLD.

AREAS ONCE COMPLETELY CLOSED TO

THE GOSPEL ARE NOW NEW

FRONTIERS.

WHAT BEGAN IN TIDEWATER

VIRGINIA IS SPANNING THE GLOBE

.

ALL THE BEST HUMAN

STRATEGIES IN THE WORLD

COULDN'T ACCOMPLISH THAT VISION

.

CBM WAS THE FIRST EVER TO START

A CHRISTIAN TELEVISION SHOW IN

THEIR OWN LANGUAGE THAT HAS

PROFOUND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE

CULTURE WHEN YOU SHOW PEOPLE

WHAT JESUS IS DOING TODAY FOR

PEOPLE THAT LOOK LIKE THEM TALK

LIKE THEM.

IT'S NOT SOME FAR STORY THAT

HAPPENED 2000 YEARS AGO.

I WANTED TO BE PART OF GOD'S

PLAN AND I THINK THAT HIS IS

FOR WORLD EVANGELIZATION AND TO

BRING MILLIONS TO THE KINGDOM.

HE'S LET ME BE PART OF IT.

AS OF 2023, CBN HAS 15 MEDIA

CENTERS ACROSS GLOBE THAT NOT

ONLY PRODUCE CONTENT IN THEIR

NATIVE LANGUAGES BUT ALSO

EMPLOY THEIR OWN INNOVATIVE

STRATEGIES.

BACK IN 1996 I CAN SAFELY SAY

90% OF OUR AUDIENCE WAS IN THE

UNITED STATES.

NOW 90% OF OUR AUDIENCE IS

INTERNATIONAL AND 10% OF OUR

AUDIENCE IS IN THE UNITED

STATES AND WE'RE SEEING

AUDIENCE LEVELS WE COULDN'T

HAVE DREAMED OF WHERE 350

MILLION PEOPLE ARE WATCHING CBN

AROUND THE WORLD.

WHILE CBN IS REACHING

MILLIONS BROADCAST, IT HAS ALSO

FOCUSED ON AN EVEN LARGER

AUDIENCE THE INTERNET.

WE'RE AT A POINT IN TIME I

THINK IN WHERE WE HAVE TO LOOK

AT INTERNET BROADCASTING AS

BEING THE DOMINANT FORM OF THE

FUTURE.

WE'RE JUST DIPPING OUR TOES IN

IT NOW BUT ALREADY WE'RE SEEING

THE FRUIT FROM WHERE YOU TOTAL

UP ALL OF THE SALVATION THAT WE

GET FROM THE U.S. VERSION OF

THE HUNDRED CLUB AND THEY'RE

ALREADY BEING EXCEEDED BY OUR

INTERNET TOTALS.

CBN REACHES PEOPLE THROUGH

MEDIA PLATFORMS LIKE YOUTUBE,

FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM AND X

FORMERLY KNOWN AS TWITTER ALONG

WITH USING APPS FOR CBN NEWS,

SUPERBOOK AND CBN FAMILY.

WHEN WE FIRST STARTED WE

WERE IN TV AND THAT'S WHERE

PEOPLE WERE SO MANY STORIES

HAPPEN BECAUSE SOMEBODY

HAPPENED TO TURN ON THE TV THEY

TO HEAR PAT PRAY FOR THEM.

THEY HAPPENED TO GET HEALED.

SO WE WANT TO CONTINUE THAT

EVEN AS FEWER PEOPLE TURN ON

TVS WE WANT PEOPLE TO HAPPEN

FIND US WHERE THEY ARE ON

YOUTUBE OR WHEREVER IT MIGHT BE

.

BY HIS STRIPES ALL MY

DISEASES ARE CARRIED AWAY IN

JESUS NAME AMEN.

AMEN.

NOW FAITH IS AN ACT DO WHAT YOU

COULDN'T DO BEFORE.

IT WAS OCTOBER FIRST 1961

WHEN CBN FIRST BEGAN WITH A

MISSION TO REACH EVERY PERSON

WITH THE GOSPEL.

NOW 62 YEARS LATER CBN

CONTINUES WITH THAT SAME

MISSION USING NEW TECHNOLOGY,

INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES AND MOST

IMPORTANTLY THE GUNS OF THE

HOLY SPIRIT.

THROUGH IT ALL THE STORY OF CBN

CARRIES A MESSAGE FOR ALL

CHRISTIANS.

EXPECT

HE WILL GIVE YOU BIG THINGS.

IT'S HARDER FOR GOD TO GIVE YOU

A DOLLAR THAN IT IS TO GIVE YOU

$10 MILLION.

NO HARDER TO GIVE YOU A

THOUSAND SOULS OR 10 MILLION

SOULS.

IT'S JUST GOD.

SO WHY NOT ASK?

WELL, I'LL SAY THE SAME THING

THAT DAD SAID TO ME.

IF HAS SPOKEN TO YOU AND ASKED

YOU TO DO SOMETHING THEN WHY

HAVEN'T YOU.

TAKE AT HIS WORD.

TAKE HIM AT IT.

WHATEVER HE YOU TO DO SAY AMEN

TO IT AND IT WITH ALL OF YOUR

HEART ALL OF YOUR STRENGTH.

HE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU

62 YEARS.

AMAZING.

IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO TAKE LOOK

BACK AND I REMEMBER THOSE EARLY

DAYS IN 1961.

I WAS JUST THREE YEARS OLD.

HERE'S A STORY THAT I THINK

JUST WILL SUMMIT ALL UP.

MY FATHER HAD A TELEVISION

STATION IN 1961 AS A FAMILY.

WE DIDN'T HAVE A TELEVISION SET

AT HOME TO WATCH THAT STATION

UNTIL 1963.

WOW.

FOR ME AS A FIVE YEAR OLD IN

1963 THAT WAS ONE OF THE

BIGGEST DAYS OF MY THAT

TELEVISION.

BUT IT YOU KNOW, WHEN IT

USED TO BE QUESTION WHAT COULD

WE MAKE IT ACROSS THE BLOCK.

AND THEN OUR FIRST BROADCAST

AND THE NEWPORT NEWS THAT WAS A

HUGE THING GOING TO COLOR

TELEVISION WAS A HUGE THING AND

THEN DAD ONE OF THE EARLY

PIONEERS IN THIS NEW THING

CALLED TELEVISION, CABLE

TELEVISION AND NOW HERE WE ARE

BROADCASTING AROUND THE WORLD

AND OVER 17 NATIONS.

IT'S TRULY, TRULY A MIRACLE.

YEAH, GREAT GREAT THINGS AHEAD.

YEAH, RIGHT.

WE WOULDN'T BE HERE TODAY IF IT

WEREN'T FOR YOU.

EVERY PLACE WE BROADCAST, EVERY

HOME WE'VE ENTERED WAS POSSIBLE

BY YOU AND PARTNERS LIKE GERRY

AND MARY FITZGERALD.

A FEW YEARS AGO GERRY WAS ABOUT

TO BE LAID OFF SO HE AND HIS

WIFE MADE A BIG DECISION.

THEY WERE GOING TO TRUST GOD

AND LET HIM DO THE REST.

GERRY AND MARY FITZGERALD

ANTIQUES TURNING THEIR PROPERTY

INTO A SHOWCASE OF RELICS

ACROSS THEIR THREE ACRES OF

LAND SOMETHING THEY LOVE EVEN

MORE THAN COLLECTING ANTIQUES

IS GIVING.

I BELIEVE THAT IT'S

IMPORTANT TO GIVE BECAUSE

MINISTRIES DON'T OPERATE ON

NOTHING.

WHEN WE GIVE THE GOSPEL IT'S

OUT TO REACH PEOPLE.

THEY FIRST LEARNED ABOUT

GIVING IN 2009.

THEY HAD STARTED GOING TO

CHURCH TOGETHER AFTER THROUGH A

ROUGH PATCH IN THEIR MARRIAGE.

I CONTINUED BE A LITTLE

HESITANT ABOUT TITHING AND

GIVING MORE WHEN I FINALLY

RELAXED AND UNDERSTOOD AND THE

LORD REALLY SHOWED ME HOW

IMPORTANT TITHING GIVING WAS.

I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH

IT ANY LONGER AND GOD CHOSE YOU

.

AND GOD TOUCHES YOUR HEART AND

YOU WANT TO GIVE.

HE'S GOING TO WORK IT ALL OUT.

HE WILL ALWAYS SUPPLY YOUR

NEEDS.

IT'S JUST LIKE PLANTING A SEED

IN THE GROUND AND THEN YOU

COVER IT UP THE SOIL AND THE

WATER COMES AND THE SUN HITS IT

AND IT GROWS.

ONCE THE COUPLE BEGAN

TITHING AND GIVING CONSISTENTLY

THEY SOON SAW THE BENEFITS.

THAT SAME YEAR JERRY RECEIVED

NOTICE THAT HE WOULD BE LAID

OFF DUE TO THE REFINERY WHERE

HE WORKED SHUTTING DOWN BEFORE

HIS LAST DAY OF WORK.

HE HAD TWO JOB OFFERS.

HE PICKED ONE AND STARTED RIGHT

AWAY WITH LAPSE IN PAY OR

BENEFITS.

I'M GOING TO HOLD TO MY WORD

AND GIVEN BACK TO GOD WHAT HE'S

GIVEN TO ME.

NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION IS

BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IF I DO

WHAT GOD TOLD ME TO DO GOD'S

GOING TO DO WHAT HE TOLD ME HE

WOULD DO.

I PUT IT IN GOD'S HAND FACT

THAT WEEK WE WERE ABLE TO GIVE

DOUBLE TITHES.

I THINK AS WE WERE BEING

FAITHFUL GOD PROVIDED THE MORE

WE MADE THE MORE WE GAVE.

IN ADDITION TO TITHING TO

THEIR CHURCH, THE FITZGERALDS

STARTED GIVING TO CBN TO

SUPPORT CBN'S GLOBAL OUTREACH

ORPHAN'S PROMISE REALLY ME AND

WHEN I SEE CHILDREN WITHOUT

PARENTS IT'S JUST REALLY TO SEE

THAT THEY'RE RECEIVING A LOVE

AND A HOME AND LEARNING ABOUT

JESUS.

JERRY ESPECIALLY LOVES

SUPPORTING SUPERBOOK AND

OPERATION BLESSING.

NOT ONLY ARE THEY MEETING

PEOPLE'S PHYSICAL NEEDS BUT

THEY'RE MEETING THEIR SPIRITUAL

NEEDS TO THE BIBLE STORIES ARE

BROKEN DOWN IN A WAY THAT

CHILDREN CAN UNDERSTAND.

IN 2022 JERRY WAS OFFERED A NEW

POSITION THAT PAYS 20% MORE

THAN HIS PREVIOUS ONE.

THE FITZGERALDS THEIR LIVES

HAVE BEEN SUSTAINED AS A DIRECT

RESULT OF GIVING GOD.

THEY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO

GIVE SO THEY CAN BE BLESSED TO

.

IF I HAD KNOWN WHAT I KNOW

NOW ABOUT AND GIVING I WOULD

HAVE BEEN DOING THAT ALL MY

LIFE.

IF WE STAY FAITHFUL AND RELY ON

GOD HE'S GOING TO TAKE CARE OF

.

GOD CANNOT POUR INTO CLOSED

HANDS.

YOU'VE GOT TO OPEN THEM AND YOU

GOT TO GIVE AND WHEN YOU GIVE

GOD GIVES BACK IN RETURN JUST

LIKE IT SAYS AND YOU PRESS DOWN

RUNNING.

GOD'S GOING TO BE FAITHFUL

TO HIS PROMISES AND HE WILL BE

FAITHFUL TO YOU IF YOU JUST

TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD.

IF YOU WANT TO START A LIFE.

THIS IS NOT SOME GET RICH QUICK

INTERNATIONAL GORDON AND ASHLEY

ON THE 700 FLY THREE MONTHS

THAT'S ALL JOSH WANTED JUST FOR

BABIES TO MAKE IT TO THAT THREE

MONTH MARK WHEN THAT DIDN'T

HAPPEN JOSH STARTED TO

SELF-DESTRUCT AND HE BEGAN

LOOKING FOR ANY TO END HIS PAIN

.

JOSHUA MASON'S LIFE WAS A

WAKING NIGHTMARE BY THE AGE OF

FIVE ABUSE DAILY AT THE HANDS

OF HIS STEPFATHER HE LIVED IN

CONSTANT FEAR.

THEN SOMETHING CHANGED IT ALL

THE BIRTH OF HIS HALF BROTHER

LUCAS THERE WAS JOY IN THE HOME

AND IT WAS SUCH AN EXCITING

TIME AND NO ONE WAS GETTING

PHYSICALLY ABUSED.

THAT WAS THE MOMENT THAT I

ACTUALLY SAW WHAT A FAMILY

COULD.

IT WAS ABOUT TWO MONTHS INTO

AFTER SHE HAD THE BABY.

ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD HER

SCREAM MY BABY'S DEAD.

MY DEAD.

LUCAS HAD SUCCUMBED TO

SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME

BROKEN HEARTED JOSHUA'S MOTHER

SANK INTO ALCOHOLISM WHILE THE

STEPFATHER BECAME EVER MORE

VIOLENT TOWARDS HIM FEARING HIS

LIFE, HIS MOTHER GAVE HIM A

CHOICE.

AND IF YOU SAY YES YOU CAN

NEVER COME BACK.

SHE PULLED AN AIRPLANE

TICKET OF HER PURSE.

THIS IS A FLIGHT TO YOUR REAL

FATHER'S HOUSE.

I SAID YES.

I KNEW I HAD TO GET OUT OF

THERE.

I WAS SO SAD I WAS GOING TO

LEAVE MY MOTHER BEHIND BUT I

HAD TO GO AT 12 YEARS OLD HE

WAS TAKEN TO THE AIRPORT.

HE PUT ON A FLIGHT TO HIS

BIOLOGICAL FATHER WHO GAVE HIM

A STABLE HOME FOR THE NEXT

SEVERAL YEARS AFTER COLLEGE AT

23, JOSHUA STARTED DATING A

WOMAN SHE BECAME PREGNANT.

HE WAS OVERJOYED TO FINALLY

HAVE THE HAPPY FAMILY HE'D

LONGED FOR BUT THE DEATH OF HIS

BROTHER HAUNTED HIM WHEN SHE

HAD MY DAUGHTER LAUREN IT WAS

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT IN MY

MIND I HAD TO MAKE IT THREE

MONTHS SUDDEN INFANT DEATH

SYNDROME IS THE MOST COMMON YOU

HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT IN THAT

FIRST 90 DAYS ONCE YOU PASS

THAT POINT THEN YOU'RE OKAY.

I WAS VERY PARTICULAR EVERY

LITTLE THING THAT COULD CAUSE

LAUREN HARM.

I DID HAVE THAT LEVEL OF FEAR

BECAUSE I WENT THROUGH THAT

TRAUMATIC THEN ONE MORNING JUST

A FEW DAYS TO THE THREE MONTH

MARK JOSHUA AWOKE TO THE VOICE

OF HIS OLDER DAUGHTER MOMMY,

MOMMY, YOU'RE LAYING ON THE

BABY.

I RAN OVER THERE TO HER AND I

MY DAUGHTER OUT AND BETWEEN HER

AND THE RECLINER AND AS SOON AS

I GOT OLDER AND I LOOKED DOWN I

KNEW THAT WAS DEAD.

I FELT SO MUCH ANGER TO THE

WOMAN I WAS WITH I BLAMED GOD.

WHY DID SHE TAKE HER FROM ME

JOSHUA WAS SEPARATED FROM HIS

PARTNER AND SPENT THE NEXT

SEVERAL MONTHS STRUGGLING WITH

SEVERE DEPRESSION.

EVENTUALLY HE GOT NEW JOB AND

BEGAN DATING ANOTHER WOMAN

TRYING TO START HIS LIFE OVER

BUT THIS TIME HE WAS DETERMINED

TO NOT HAVE CHILDREN.

THEN ONE DAY TO HIS SURPRISE

HIS GIRLFRIEND HIM SHE WAS

PREGNANT.

I WAS TERRIFIED I TALKED TO

HER ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS

FOR TO MAKE IT TO THAT THREE

MONTH MARK LUCAS DIDN'T MAKE IT

TO THAT THREE MONTH MARK.

LAUREN DIDN'T MAKE TO THAT

THREE MONTH MARK VERY CLOSE.

JUST A GRIPPING FEAR TWO

MONTHS AND 27 DAYS AFTER HIS

DAUGHTER ARIANA WAS BORN,

JOSHUA CAME ONE EVENING TO AN

EMPTY HOUSE AND A NOTE IN THAT

NOTE READS I'M SORRY IT'S TOO

OVERWHELMING FOR ME.

MY MOTHER AND GRANDMA REALLY

CAME TO GET A U-HAUL AND TAKE

ME BACK TO SOUTH CAROLINA.

IT'S ONLY THREE DAYS TO GO AT

THAT POINT EVERYTHING'S GONE

AND I'VE MY FAMILY FOR THE

SECOND TIME.

THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED WELL,

I'M JUST GOING TO

SELF-DESTRUCT.

HE BEGAN DRINKING HEAVILY

AND TAKING PRESCRIPTION PILLS

TO NUMB HIS PAIN BUT IT WASN'T

ENOUGH.

A FRIEND FROM WORK WAS SHOOTING

METH SO JOSHUA IT A TRY.

I BECAME INSTANTLY ADDICTED I

JUST DON'T CARE ANYMORE ABOUT

ANYTHING THAT WAS AN EIGHT YEAR

BATTLE LOST IN HIS ADDICTION

AND HURT JOSHUA DID HIS BEST TO

SHUT OUT THE WORLD.

BUT THEN HE MET A CHRISTIAN

WOMAN NAMED MARCELLA AND THE

TWO BECAME CLOSE.

SHE WOULD OFTEN FOR HIM AND

ENCOURAGE HIM TO COME TO

CHURCH.

JOSHUA HATED BUT AFTER

EXPERIENCING AN OVERDOSE THAT

NEARLY KILLED HIM HE WANTED TO

CHANGE.

SHE WOULD ALWAYS TELL ME FROM

THE BEGINNING YOU NEED GOD IN

YOUR LIFE.

I STARTED TO CHURCH ONE NIGHT

THE PASTOR SAID SOMETHING THAT

REALLY REALLY STUCK OUT TO ME

THE DEVIL COMES TO KILL STILL

DESTROY.

I HAD ESSENTIALLY BLAMED GOD

FOR KILLING MY DAUGHTER,

STEALING MY FAMILY AND

DESTROYING MY LIFE BUT I NEVER

KNEW THAT THERE WAS AN ENEMY OR

DEVIL IN THE OPPOSITE END AND

THAT THAT WHO THE BLAME NEEDED

TO BE ON AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN

ON ONE NIGHT I CAME HOME FROM A

SERVICE AND I WENT INTO THE

BATHROOM LIKE I NORMALLY DO AND

I GOT THE LITTLE BAGGIE

METHAMPHETAMINES OUT.

I GOT THE NEEDLE OVER HERE

AND I'M LOOKING IT AND I JUST

THOUGHT I TO STOP GOD IF Y'ALL

IF YOU'LL HAVE I WANT TO GIVE

MY LIFE OVER TO YOU TOOK THAT

BAG.

I FLUSHED IT DOWN THE TOILET

AND I SURRENDERED THAT NIGHT TO

JESUS.

I JOY AGAIN FOLLOWING THAT

NIGHT THROUGH PRAYER AND

READING THE BIBLE JOSHUA FOUND

THE STRENGTH IN GOD TO OVERCOME

HIS ADDICTION.

HE ALSO CAME TO TERMS WITH HIS

PAST FORGIVING HIS ABUSIVE

STEPFATHER AND THOSE HE TO

BLAME FOR DESTROYING HIS

FAMILIES.

HE'S NOW MARRIED TO A SAILOR

AND SERVES MINISTRY HELPING TO

MEET PEOPLE'S PHYSICAL NEEDS

WHILE POINTING THEM TO JESUS.

JOSHUA SAYS THAT GOD HAS

BLESSED WITH THE FAMILY HE'D

ALWAYS HOPED FOR MY FAMILY IS

IS MY WIFE.

IT'S THE MINISTRY THAT I'M IN

NOW WHICH GOD LED TO.

I HAVE MY FAMILY NOW AND I

FEEL COMPLETE NO MATTER HOW

DARK TIMES GET YOU CAN OVERCOME

WHATEVER YOU'RE GOING THROUGH

AND THAT YOU CAN DO THAT BY

SURRENDERING TO JESUS.

I WENT FROM THE BOTTOM AND NOW

I'M AT THE TOP AND DID THAT

THROUGH GOD HERE THAT TRUTH

TODAY FROM JOSH WAS AT THE

BOTTOM.

HE WAS IN A DEEP DARK PIT AND

NOW TODAY HE'S AT THE TOP.

HE'S LIVING A PURPOSE FILLED

LIFE WITH JOY AND FREEDOM AND

HERE THAT TRUTH TODAY AS WELL

YOU CAN OVERCOME THE DARKNESS

YOUR LIFE IF YOU JUST SURRENDER

TO GOD.

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT JOSH DID.

HE WAS IN THE BATHROOM.

HE WAS ABOUT TO USE DRUGS YET

AGAIN

THAT HE'S FELT FOR SO LONG AND

HE PRAYED A SIMPLE PRAYER.

HE SAID LORD IF YOU'LL HAVE ME

I WANT TO SURRENDER TO YOU.

HE GOT TO THE END OF HIMSELF

AND THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN WE COME

TO THE END OF OURSELVES THAT'S

ACTUALLY THE BEST PLACE TO BE

BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN WE

RECOGNIZE WE CAN'T DO THIS ON

OUR OWN.

YOU DON'T WANT DO THIS LIFE

ON YOUR OWN.

LIFE IS HARD.

WE GO THROUGH DARK THINGS.

THERE IS EVIL THIS WORLD THERE

IS AN ADVERSARY OF YOUR SOUL

WHO WANTS TO STEAL FROM YOU WHO

WANTS TO DESTROY AND EVEN WANTS

TO KILL YOU.

AND JOSH HAD THAT REVELATION

THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION AND

THE ADDICTION AND THE WAS IN

HIS LIFE WASN'T FROM GOD.

IT WAS ACTUALLY FROM THE DEVIL,

THE ENEMY, THE ADVERSARY OF OUR

SOULS.

BUT HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS TODAY,

FRIENDS AND IT'S GOOD NEWS THAT

CAN BRING JOY TO YOUR LIFE LIKE

NEVER BEFORE.

WE HAVE A SAVIOR AND HIS NAME

JESUS EVERYTHING EVERY DARK

FEELING THAT YOU HAVE FELT,

EVERY CHAIN THAT YOU HAVE FELT

FELT BOUND TO HE BORE THAT ON

THE CROSS HE WAS ABLE TO IS

ABLE TO SET YOU FREE AS YOU

JUST TRUST AND SURRENDER TO HIM

TODAY.

SO MY WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO

YOU FRIEND IS YOU PRAY THAT

SAME PRAYER JOSH SAID LORD, IF

YOU'LL HAVE ME IF YOU'LL HAVE

ME I SURRENDER BECAUSE HERE TO

TELL YOU THAT HE WILL HAVE YOU

HE'S BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

MOMENT FOR YEARS FOR YOU TO

RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM,

WITH THE IDEA THAT IF IF WE ARE

IN NEED A MIRACLE THAT IT BE

GOD'S WILL.

IF ALL THESE ABOUT OUR LIFE ARE

ALREADY GOD'S WILL AND WE'RE

NOT GOING TO CHANGE MIND ABOUT

IT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE

PRAY FOR A MIRACLE.

HAVE CANCER OR CANCER THAT I'LL

NEVER GET RID OF.

I HAVE QUITE FEW PEOPLE PRAYING

FOR ME.

COULD THEY ALL BE WASTING THEIR

TIME IF GOD'S IS FOR ME TO HAVE

IT AND SUFFER WITH IT?

LAURA IT'S NEVER GOD'S WILL

FOR HIS CHILDREN TO SUFFER.

HERE'S THE LORD'S PRAYER THY

KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE ON

EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.

SO THINK OF YOURSELF IN

HEAVEN.

ARE YOU SUFFERING?

I THINK THE ANSWER IS QUITE

CLEAR.

NO, THAT'S GOD'S WILL AND HE'S

AUTHORIZED US TO PRAY THIS WAY

THAT HIS WILL WOULD BE DONE

EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.

NOW YOU THINK THAT SOMEHOW

YOU'RE FULFILLING PROPHECY BY

HAVING THIS SICKNESS PLEASE

RETHINK IT.

AND HERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU

KNOW I READ FROM MY FATHER JUST

LAST AND IT REALLY STUNNED ME

THE INSIGHT THAT HE HAD AND

THIS ONE VERSE IS FROM MATTHEW

24 VERSE 20.

IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE END

TIMES THE DESTRUCTION OF THE

TEMPLE THAT WHEN YOU SEE THE

ARMIES CIRCULAR AS A CIRCULAR

CIRCLING AROUND JERUSALEM AND

THEN HE SAYS PRAY THAT YOUR NOT

BE IN WINTER.

IF WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO

PRAY THAT GOD WOULD CHANGE

SEASONS.

THAT'S HOW MUCH HE LOVES YOU.

HE'S WILLING TO CHANGE THE

SEASON.

HE'S WILLING TO THE PROPHETIC

TIME LINE FOR YOUR AND THAT

WONDERFUL.

SO LET'S PRAY THAT WAY LET'S

LIVE THAT WAY BECAUSE THAT'S

GOD'S.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, HERE'S ANOTHER

EMAIL.

THIS IS SHARON.

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY

NEIGHBORS.

I HAVE FORGIVEN THEM MULTIPLE.

THE BIBLE SPEAKS ABOUT

FORGIVENESS TO BELIEVERS.

BUT WHAT IF ARE NOT BELIEVER

BELIEVERS WHO PURPOSEFULLY

CAUSE HATE AND DISCONTENT?

DO WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO

FORGIVE SOME SINFUL PEOPLE WHO

ARE DOING THINGS ON PURPOSE?

SHARON, YOU'RE SO UP.

FORGIVE.

IT'S NOT JUST BELIEVERS.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LOVE YOUR

ENEMY.

SO YOU DON'T HAVE THIS DIVISION

BETWEEN NONBELIEVERS BECAUSE

THAT'S JUST NOT SCRIPTURAL.

BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT

BOUNDARIES ARE GOOD.

ROBERT FROST SAID GOOD

FENCES MAKE FOR GOOD GOOD

NEIGHBORS AND YOU CAN BUILD

BOUNDARIES IN YOUR LIFE.

YOU CAN BE A NEHEMIAH AND

REPAIR THE WALL.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LET THE ENEMY

COME IN AND CONSTANTLY BOTHER

YOU DOING HORRIBLE THINGS TO

YOU.

THAT'S NOT SCRIPTURAL EITHER.

SO BOUNDARIES ARE GOOD IS

REALLY GOOD AND LOVING YOUR

ENEMIES IS EVEN BETTER.

HERE ARE THE WORDS FROM

JEREMIAH OH SOVEREIGN YOU MADE

THE HEAVENS AND EARTH BY YOUR

STRONG HAND AND POWER ARE

NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR YOU.

GOD YOU.
