ON TODAY'S 7:00 WELCOME TO THE
700 CLUB.
TRADING SEXUAL VIOLENCE AGAINST
WOMEN AS A WEAPON OF WAR.
ISRAEL BROUGHT THAT CHARGE
TO THE UNITED NATIONS YESTERDAY
ACCUSING HAMAS OF WAR CRIMES.
ISRAEL'S AMBASSADOR ALSO
CALLED OUT THE UN ITS DEAFENING
SILENCE ABOUT THESE ATROCITIES.
CHRIS MITCHELL THAT STORY AND
THE LATEST ON THE FIGHTING IN
GAZA.
THE IDF SAYS ITS FIGHT
AGAINST HAMAS EXPANDING AS WE
EXPAND THE OPERATION IN GAZA.
WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO OUR
GOALS, SECURE THE RELEASE OUR
HOSTAGES AND DISMANTLE HAMAS.
WHILE CONDEMNING STRATEGY OF
USING GAZANS AS HUMAN SHIELDS,
THE IDF ITS GOAL IS TO HELP
CIVILIANS GET OUT OF HARM'S WAY
.
WE ARE GIVING PRECISE
INSTRUCTIONS TO GAZAN RESIDENTS
HAMAS CENTERS OF GRAVITY URGING
THEM TEMPORARILY MOVE AWAY FROM
THE DANGER THAT HAMAS PUTS THEM
IN.
THE IDF CONTINUES TO DESTROY
HUNDREDS OF HAMAS TUNNELS.
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORTS
ISRAEL IS FLOODING THE
UNDERGROUND NETWORK WITH
SEAWATER PUMPED FROM
MEDITERRANEAN TO DRIVE HAMAS
FIGHTERS OUT INTO THE OPEN.
THE U.N. ON MONDAY THE ISRAELI
EMBASSY SPONSORED A SPECIAL
SESSION CALLING FOR A
CONDEMNATION OF HAMAS FOR USING
SEXUAL VIOLENCE AGAINST ISRAELI
WOMEN.
ON OCTOBER 7TH, ISRAELI
AMBASSADOR GILAD ERDAN SAID
THERE HAS BEEN DEAFENING
SILENCE FROM THE U.N. WHICH
WAITED LONG EIGHT WEEKS TO
CONDEMN THE TACTICS.
WE KNOW THIS.
WE KNOW THIS FROM COMBAT
PARAMEDICS.
WE WOULD KNOW THIS FROM SOME
VICTIMS.
MORE HAD BEEN ALLOWED TO LIVE.
MAYBE THEN WOULD BE STANDING
BESIDE ME RIGHT HERE TO
SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT NEED
TO BE STATED.
RAPE SHOULD NEVER BE USED AS AN
ACT OF WAR.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER SANDBERG,
THE FORMER CEO OF FACEBOOK
CONDEMNED OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE.
HAMAS SAID THE ACCUSATIONS WERE
UNFOUNDED LIES TO DEMONIZE
PALESTINIAN RESISTANCE.
THE WORLD HAS TO DECIDE WHO
TO BELIEVE.
DO WE BELIEVE THE HAMAS
SPOKESPERSON WHO SAID THAT RAPE
IS FORBIDDEN THEREFORE HAVE
POSSIBLY HAPPENED ON OCTOBER
7TH?
OR DO WE BELIEVE THE WOMEN
WHOSE BODIES TELL US HOW THEY
SPENT THE LAST 2 MINUTES OF
THEIR LIVES?
WHO ARE WE GOING TO BELIEVE?
ABOUT A DOZEN ISRAELI WOMEN
ARE STILL HELD HOSTAGE BY
HAMAS.
ONE U.S. OFFICIAL SAID THE
TERROR MIGHT BE UNWILLING TO
RELEASE THEM BECAUSE THEY MIGHT
TALK ABOUT ABUSE THEY'VE
EXPERIENCED IN CAPTIVITY.
CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,
JERUSALEM.
JOINING US NOW FROM NEW YORK IS
TEL HEINRICH, A SPOKESPERSON
FOR GOVERNMENT.
AND SO THANKS FOR BEING WITH
US.
YOU AT THE UN EVENT YESTERDAY.
TELL US WHAT YOU SAID AND YOU
SAID SPECIFICALLY ISRAELI WOMEN
WERE MURDERED TWICE.
WHAT DID YOU MEAN?
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME ON
THIS MORNING.
YOU SEE, I WAS THE EMCEE FOR
THE EVENT.
IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL
EVENTS I THINK MAYBE THE MOST
THAT I EVER WITNESSED AT THE
UNITED NATIONS AND IN MY
OPENING REMARKS I SAID THAT
SOME THE WOMEN WHO WERE
BUTCHERED OCTOBER 7TH AND THERE
ARE MORE THAN 300 FEMALE
VICTIMS OF THIS MASSACRE WERE
MURDERED TWICE.
THE FIRST TIME WAS WHEN HAMAS
TERRORISTS RAPED THEM,
COMMITTED ACTS OF SEXUAL
VIOLENCE AGAINST THEM,
MUTILATED.
AND THE SECOND TIME WAS WHEN
HAMAS TERRORISTS PUT A BULLET
IN THEM.
NOW IN AT LEAST ONE CASE AS
I SAID, THIS HAPPENED
SIMULTANEOUSLY IS ABSOLUTELY
SICKENING.
BUT HERE'S WHAT ALSO SAID THAT
WE WILL NOT ALLOWED FOR THIRD
TIME TO TAKE PLACE, THAT THESE
WOMEN WILL NOT BE MURDERED FOR
A THIRD TIME BY SILENCE, BY
NEGLECT.
AND SAW THAT OVER THE PAST
EIGHT WEEKS FOR THAT THAT
REASON WE HELD THIS EVENT TO
BRING AWARENESS TO WHAT HAD
TRANSPIRED HAPPENED SO THAT
THESE WOMEN WHO CANNOT SPEAK.
BUT THE WOMEN THE OTHER PEOPLE
WHO WITNESSED WHAT HAPPENED TO
THEM ARE TO GIVE TESTIMONY TO
THAT AND THEY NEED TO TO BE
HEARD.
WHY IS THERE A I GUESS A
DOUBLE STANDARD HERE WE HAVE
EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY THAT WOMEN
WERE BEING RAPED.
WE HAVE EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY.
ONE OF THEM LITERALLY CRIED OUT
KILL ME.
IT WAS SO BRUTAL THAT SHE WAS
BEING RAPED AND SHE WAS
MUTILATED AND THEN FINALLY SHE
WAS SHOT.
SO YOU HAVE EYEWITNESS
TESTIMONY THAT AND AT THE SAME
TIME THERE SEEMS TO BE THIS
CONFLICTING NARRATIVE THAT NO,
THAT COULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED
.
WHY ARE WE SEEING THAT?
IT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.
I THINK IT'S IT'S IT'S A
COMBINATION FEW THINGS.
BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS I DON'T
KNOW IF YOU SAW THIS HASHTAG
METOO UNLESS YOU'RE A JEW.
I THINK IT SAYS IT ALL BECAUSE
IT'S REALLY BAFFLING TO SEE HOW
YOU KNOW SOME OF THESE WOMEN'S
RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS HAVE YOU
KNOW, HAVE BEEN TELLING ALONG
TO BELIEVE ALL WOMEN.
RIGHT.
AND THEY'RE SILENT JUST SIMPLY
SILENT.
SO ONE ASPECT IS THE FACT THAT
THE ISRAELIS ONE ASPECT IS THAT
THEY'RE JEWS.
ANOTHER ASPECT IS THAT SOME YOU
KNOW, WOMEN'S RIGHTS ADVOCATES
AND U.N. BODIES THINK THAT IF
IF THEY CONDEMN HAMAS FOR THEIR
ATROCITIES AGAINST WOMEN, IT
MEANS THAT THEY AGREE WITH WITH
THE ISRAELI STANDPOINT ON THE
CONFLICT.
AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW.
BUT AS THE THE AMBASSADOR DONE
GILAD ERDAN, THE ISRAELI
AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED
NATIONS SAID YESTERDAY THEIR
SILENCE IS DEAFENING.
IT'S A CHRIS.
IT'S PURE HYPOCRISY.
WELL LET'S TALK ABOUT THE U.N.
THERE'S A GROUP CALLED U.N.
WOMEN THAT YOU KNOW THAT IS
CALLING FOR ITSELF A GLOBAL
CHAMPION FOR WOMEN.
WHAT'S BEEN THEIR RESPONSE TO
THE CRIMES OF OCTOBER SEVEN?
WELL, U.N. AND ALSO THE
SECRETARY GENERAL ANTONIO
GUTERRES YES, THEY PUT A
STATEMENT BUT WHEN DID THEY PUT
IT OUT?
AFTER A FEW DAYS IN THE DAYS
LEADING UP TO THE EVENT THAT WE
HELD YESTERDAY, THE ISRAELI
MISSION TO THE UNITED NATIONS
AGAIN, IT'S NOT THAT THE U.N.
ORGANIZED THAT IT TOOK PLACE AT
THE UNITED NATIONS HEADQUARTERS
IN NEW YORK, BUT IT HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH THE U.N. IT WAS ALL
ISRAEL.
SO THEY PUT OUT THEIR
STATEMENTS CONDEMNING HAMAS,
ALSO SAYING THAT THESE
ATROCITIES HAVE TO BE
INVESTIGATED AND AND THEY DID
SO RIGHT BEFORE WE PUBLISHED
THE EVENT OR RIGHT AFTER
ANOTHER WE PUBLISHED THE EVENT
WHICH IS ALSO YOU KNOW YOU YOU
YOU SEE WHAT YOU SEE WHY IT'S
WRONG.
THEY WERE SILENT
WEEKS NOW CALLING TO
INVESTIGATE THESE TESTIMONIES
AND WHAT TRANSPIRED IN TERMS OF
YOU KNOW RAPE AND MUTILATION OF
AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE AGAINST
ISRAELI WOMEN.
I DIDN'T SEE THEM CALLING TO
INVESTIGATE THE NUMBERS THAT
THE HAMAS CONTROLLED GAZA
HEALTH MINISTRY THEM YOU KNOW
FROM FROM THE WAR SO FAR.
WHY THEY ONLY CAST DOUBT
WHEN IT COMES TO ISRAEL.
WHAT WOULD YOUR MESSAGE BE
TO WOMEN ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES
TODAY IN AMERICA?
IT JUST SEEMS TO BE INCREDIBLE
THAT THESE CURRENT PROTESTS
SUPPORT AIDING THE PALESTINIAN
CAUSE.
WHAT'S YOUR MESSAGE THEM?
MY MESSAGE IS DON'T SERVE
APOLOGISTS FOR HAMAS.
IF YOU TRULY CARE ABOUT
INNOCENT PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES
OF THE CONFLICT ABOUT ISRAELI
AND PALESTINIAN LIVES.
AND IF YOU TRULY TO STAND FOR
WHAT IS RIGHT, YOU SHOULD HAVE
MORAL CLARITY AND PEOPLE SHOULD
REMEMBER THAT ALL OF WHAT
HAPPENED, ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO
WERE KILLED, ALL THE PEOPLE WHO
WERE INJURED, ALL OF THE WOMEN
WHO WERE RAPED OVER THE PAST
EIGHT WEEKS THAT IS SINCE
OCTOBER 7TH AND UNTIL NOW WOULD
HAVE BEEN SAFE TODAY IF IT
WASN'T FOR HAMAS ATROCITIES.
THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO REMEMBER
IF IT.
IT WASN'T FOR HAMAS.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
STRONG THANK YOU FOR
STANDING FOR MORAL CLARITY.
WE REALLY ABSOLUTELY NEED
THAT TODAY AND BE ASSURED WE
STAND WITH YOU AND WE STAND
WITH ISRAEL AND WE ABSOLUTELY
AGAINST RAPE AS SOME KIND OF
WEAPON OF WAR.
IT SEEMS THE RECORD IS QUITE
CLEAR THE HAMAS FIGHTERS WERE
SCHOOLED TO TO DO THAT AND THAT
THEY NEED TO BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE.
THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE CRIME
SHOULD NEVER IN TODAY'S WORLD.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.
YOU ARE CORRECT.
THANK YOU, GORDON.
FOR EVERYONE AT HOME, PLEASE
REMEMBER THAT HAMAS RELEASED
YOU DON'T NEED ANY MORE THAN
THE WOMEN BEING PARADED IN GAZA
THE ONES WHO WERE CAPTURED.
THEY WERE BLEEDING AND THEY
BECAUSE THEY WERE VIOLENTLY AND
BRUTALLY RAPED.
DON'T EVER FORGET THAT WHEN
YOU HEAR THIS COMPETING
NARRATIVE THAT'S CURRENTLY
COMING THAT THIS COULD HAVE
NEVER HAPPENED.
.
IT WAS NEVER THERE.
IT'S THEIR OWN VIDEO THAT
CONVICTS THEM OF THIS CRIME.
WELL, HERE AT AT HOME ACTION
IS BEING TAKEN AGAINST FOREIGN
STUDENTS OR SO SO SHOW SUPPORT
FOR TERRORISM.
A COALITION OF 20 ATTORNEYS
GENERAL IS CALLING ON THE
FEDERAL TO REVOKE STUDENT VISAS
FOR THOSE WHO ENDORSE OR OTHER
TERROR GROUPS.
CBN'S BRODY CARTER REPORTS.
OF THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE
HERE BECAUSE WE ALLOW THEM TO
BE HERE AND IF TO ENGAGE IN
THIS SORT OF SUPPORT OF
TERRORIST WE NEED TO GET THEM
OUT OF HERE.
THE LETTER WRITTEN BY
ARKANSAS ATTORNEY GENERAL TIM
GRIFFIN CALLS ON THE STATE
DEPARTMENT AND HOMELAND
SECURITY TO QUOTE VIGOROUSLY
RENEW VETTING OF FOREIGN
STUDENT VISA HOLDERS AND
PROMPTLY REMOVE ANYONE WHO HAS
ENDORSED OR ESPOUSE TERRORIST
ACTIVITY OR PROVIDED MATERIAL
SUPPORT TO FOREIGN TERRORIST
ORGANIZATIONS.
I WOULD SAY MOST OF THEM
ALSO DON'T SUPPORT TERRORISM.
MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE ON A
STUDENT VISA ARE HERE TO STUDY
AND TO LEARN ABOUT AMERICAN
CULTURE.
BUT THOSE THAT ARE
SUPPORTING TERRORISM SHOULDN'T
BE IN OUR COUNTRY.
IOWA'S AG BRENNA BIRD ALSO
SIGNED THE LETTER.
IT'S EVEN MORE CONCERNING WHEN
I HEAR STUDENTS ON CAMPUS SAY
THAT THEY'RE THEY DON'T FEEL
SAFE BECAUSE OF WHAT IS GOING
ON THERE.
2022 THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
ISSUED MORE 400,000 STUDENT
VISAS AN INCREASE OF 53,000
OVER THE YEAR PRIOR.
ONE REASON COULD BE THE MONEY
BY THE STUDENT VISA PROGRAM.
IT PUMPS ABOUT 38 BILLION EACH
YEAR INTO THE U.S. ECONOMY.
THE INTUITION IN LIVING
EXPENSES AND OTHER SPENDING
ALMOST THREE QUARTERS OF THESE
F-1 STUDENT VISA HOLDERS FIND
JOBS IN IMPORTANT FIELDS OF
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY,
ENGINEERING AND MATH.
WITHIN THREE YEARS OF
GRADUATING.
SOME CALL THAT A HUGE RETURN OF
INVESTMENT.
TOP INTERNATIONAL TALENT
STAYS HERE.
THESE ARE THE UNIVERSITIES WITH
THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF STUDENT
VISA HOLDERS AND THE DOLLARS
THEY BRING WITH THEM AND NYU
LEAD THE WAY.
IT OFTEN STARTS ON THE LEFT
AND THE RIGHT COAST AND IT ENDS
UP.
AND THE LAST THING WE WANT
IS FOR HAMAS AND HAMAS
SYMPATHIZERS TO BE USING THE
UNITED STATES IN ORDER TO PLAN
FUTURE ATTACKS.
WHILE FREE SPEECH APPLIES TO
ALL IN THE US INCLUDING FOREIGN
VISA HOLDERS SUPPORTING
TERRORISM DOES NOT.
THAT'S WHY THE COALITION IS
CALLING ON THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO TO ACT.
BRODY CARTER CBN NEWS.
AND YOU TOO CAN CALL ON THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO ACT WHEN
YOU SEE THE TRAIL HERE IT
STARTS TO BRING CLARITY AND
IT'S NOT MORAL CLARITY BUT IT
DOES BRING CLARITY TO WHY
UNIVERSITY.
PRESIDENTS ARE SLOW TO
CONDEMN ANTI.
THEY ARE WORRIED THAT THEIR
FOREIGN STUDENTS WILL LOSE
THEIR VISA AND IN TURN THEY
WILL LOSE INCOME THAT THOSE
FOREIGN STUDENTS BRING.
WE NEED TO BRING SOME VERY
STRONG MORAL CLARITY TO THE
PRESIDENTS OF AMERICA TO SAY NO
,NO, YOU CAN'T HAVE STUDENTS
WHO SUPPORT TERRORISM WHO DO
THESE KINDS OF THINGS THAT
START THESE KINDS OF PROTESTS
SUPPORT HAMAS.
IT IS A TERRORIST GROUP.
YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING HERE
IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THE
IT'S BEING CALLED ONE OF THE
HIGHEST REACHING AND LONGEST
ACTS OF INFILTRATION IN
AMERICAN HISTORY.
FORMER US AMBASSADOR TO BOLIVIA
VICTOR MANUEL ROCA WAS ARRESTED
MONDAY AND CHARGED WITH ACTING
AS A SECRET AGENT OF THE CUBAN
GOVERNMENT.
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS ALLEGE FROM
AS EARLY AS 1981 UNTIL PRESENT
DAY, ROCA HAS BEEN SECRETLY
SERVING COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT.
HE FACES CHARGES INCLUDING
CONSPIRACY AND ACTING AS AN
ILLEGAL AGENT OF A FOREIGN
GOVERNMENT.
ROCHESTER THE STATE DEPARTMENT
FOR ALMOST FOUR DECADES.
BUT IN CONVERSATIONS WITH AN
UNDERCOVER FBI AGENT, HE
ALLEGEDLY REFERRED TO AMERICA
AS THE ENEMY AND SAID CUBA
DICTATES HIS CAREER WELL OUT OF
MONEY AND OUT OF TIME.
THAT'S THE MESSAGE SENT TO
CONGRESS WHITE HOUSE WHICH IS
URGENTLY REQUESTING FUNDS TO
BUY MORE WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT
TO SEND TO UKRAINE.
THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND
BUDGET TOLD TOLD LAWMAKERS THAT
EXISTING FUNDS TO SUPPORT
UKRAINE AGAINST RUSSIA'S
INVASION WILL RUN OUT BY THE
END OF THE YEAR.
THE WHITE HOUSE WARNS THAT WILL
UKRAINE ON THE BATTLEFIELD AND
INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF
RUSSIAN ADVANCES.
SENATE MAJORITY LEADER CHUCK
SCHUMER HAS UP A VOTE IN THE
SENATE THIS WEEK ON $106
BILLION AID PACKAGE FOR UKRAINE
AND ISRAEL.
REPUBLICANS SAY THEY WON'T
SUPPORT THE BILL UNLESS IT
ADDRESSES BORDER SECURITY WHILE
THE WORLD IS WATCHING BOTH
UKRAINE AND ISRAEL.
CHINA CONTINUES TO BUILD UP ITS
MILITARY.
THE PENTAGON BETTING BIG ON
AMERICAN INNOVATION TO COUNTER
THE THREAT.
NATIONAL SECURITY CORRESPONDENT
CAITLIN BURKE REPORTS ON A NEW
STRATEGY TO FLOOD THE ZONE WITH
A NEW GENERATION OF HIGH TECH
WEAPONS OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS
AS THE US FOUGHT IN THE DESERTS
OF THE MIDDLE EAST, CHINA
FOCUSED ON ACCOMPLISHING THE
LARGEST MILITARY BUILDUP SINCE
WORLD WAR TWO.
THE PRC WORKED WITH
DETERMINATION TO BUILD A MODERN
MILITARY.
CAREFULLY CRAFTING IT TO
BLUNT THE OPERATIONAL
ADVANTAGES WE'VE ENJOYED FOR
DECADES.
BUT DEPUTY DEFENSE SECRETARY
KATHLEEN HICKS SAYS AMERICA
STILL HOLDS A SIGNIFICANT.
OUR ABILITY TO INNOVATE
CHANGED THE GAME AND IN THE
MILITARY SPHERE TO IMAGINE
CREATE AND THE FUTURE CHARACTER
OF WARFARE.
THAT BELIEF DRIVES THE
PENTAGON'S LAUNCH OF
REPLICATOR.
THIS IS ABOUT MASTERING THE
TECHNOLOGY.
THE REPLICATOR INITIATIVE
CENTERS AROUND THE STRATEGY OF
COUNTERING CHINA'S MASS WITH
AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS THAT ARE
SMALL SMART, CHEAP AND MANY.
HICKS SAYS A KEY WILL BE
DRAWING ON ALREADY IN
DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE MILITARY
BRANCHES.
THEN WHAT'S READY TO RAPIDLY
IMPLEMENT AND DISTRIBUTE TO KEY
ASSETS?
THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF WHAT
SOFTWARE CAN DO FOR POWER
DELIVERY DOESN'T TAKE SEVERAL
YEARS OR A.
OUR INVESTMENTS IN DATA AI AND
COMPUTE ARE EMPOWERING
WARFIGHTERS IN THE HERE AND NOW
IN MATTERS OF MONTHS, WEEKS AND
EVEN DAYS.
THIS NEW BUILD UP WILL
INVOLVE SYSTEMS LIKE THE DRONES
USED IN UKRAINE FOR
INTELLIGENCE SURVEILLANCE
TARGETING AND LAUNCHING ATTACKS
LAUNCHED LAUNCHED LAUNCHED.
LEADERS OF THIS PROGRAM HAVE
BEEN ADMITTEDLY VAGUE ON
DETAILS OF THE REPLICATOR WHICH
HAS DEFENSE EXPERTS QUESTIONING
THE REALITY.
IT'S A COOL IDEA HOW IT
ACTUALLY TAKES ROOT AND IS
EXECUTED IS THE REAL QUESTION.
USING THE UKRAINIAN DRONE
EXAMPLE THE THE HERITAGE
FOUNDATION'S DAKOTA WOOD POINTS
TO THE CHALLENGES OF USING KIND
OF SYSTEM IN EAST ASIA.
IN THE INDO-PACIFIC YOU'RE
TALKING DISTANCES OF HUNDREDS
OF MILES.
900 MILES TO JAPAN, 1800 MILES
TO GUAM.
IF I'M HAVING TO FLY THIS THING
500 MILES OR A THOUSAND MILES
JUST TO HAVE HAVE THE FUEL TO
BE ABLE TO DO THAT REQUIRES A
LARGER PLATFORM.
I WANT TO CARRY A MUNITION THAT
IS VIABLE AGAINST TARGET LIKE
AN AIRFIELD OR ANOTHER PLANE OR
A SHIP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AGAIN, MORE PAYLOAD.
SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE
GROWTH THE SIZE OF THE AIRCRAFT
ALMOST TO AIRCRAFT SIZED.
WHERE IS THE FIELD THAT I'M
OPERATING THESE FROM AND IF
THEY'RE NON STEALTHY THEY
PRESENT A SIGNATURE.
WOULDN'T IT BE EASIER FOR
CHINA TO SHOOT THEM DOWN.
THERE NO MISSION COMPLETE
STANDARD FOR THE REPLICATOR
INITIATIVE.
RATHER TO CONTINUALLY ADAPT AND
DETER.
WE MUST THE PRC LEADERSHIP
WAKES UP EVERY DAY CONSIDERS
THE RISKS OF AGGRESSION AND
CONCLUDES TODAY IS NOT THE DAY
THE INITIAL TWO YEAR RAMP UP
WOULD ATTEMPT TO TO FIELD MANY
OF THESE SYSTEMS DURING THE
SAME TIME FRAME THAT MANY
PREDICT CHINA WILL MOVE ON
TAIWAN.
AND EXPERTS BELIEVE THE WINNER
THAT BATTLE WILL BE WHOEVER HAS
THE MOST AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS IN
PLAY.
CAITLIN BURKE, CBN NEWS, THE
PENTAGON.
THE MILITARY BUILDUP RACE IN
FULL VIEW.
THANK YOU.
CAITLIN GORDON, BACK TO YOU.
YET ANOTHER ARMS RACE AND
WE'RE SEEING IT IT PLAYED OUT.
DRONES HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY KEY
IN THE BATTLEFIELD IN UKRAINE.
THEY'VE ALSO BEEN KEY IN THE
BATTLEFIELD OF ARMENIA AS YOUR
BHAIJAAN HAD MILITARY DRONE
TECHNOLOGY THAT ARMENIA DIDN'T
HAVE AND IT ALLOWED THEM TO
ABSOLUTELY THE BATTLEFIELD.
ARE WE GETTING INTO A NEW ARMS
RACE?
ABSOLUTELY AND ALL THE PROMISE
OF AI TO MAKE LIFE.
AND WHEN YOU START TURNING THAT
INTO WEAPON SYSTEMS ALL THAT
PROMISE EVAPORATES VERY
QUICKLY.
BUT WE'RE IN IT BECAUSE WE
DON'T TRUST THE OTHER NATIONS
OF THE WORLD AND HAVE THEY
GIVEN US ANY REASON TO TRUST
THEM?
WE DON'T TRUST THEM TO SAY NO,
WE SHOULDN'T DEVELOP THESE
KINDS OF THINGS.
LET'S NOT CONTINUE TO INVENT
NEW SYSTEMS WHERE WE GET TO
KILL OTHER AND KILL EACH OTHER
REMOTE CONTROL.
IT'S BEEN A THE ONGOING PROMISE
OF TECHNOLOGY.
IT'S THE ONGOING CURSE AND WHEN
YOU TURN INTO PUSH BUTTON WHERE
IT IS THERE AREN'T ANY
CASUALTIES ON THE BATTLEFIELD.
YOU'RE JUST WITCH WHOSE
MACHINES WORK BETTER.
WELL THEN THAT'S THAT'S FRANKLY
THAT I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN.

WELL THE ONLY THOUGHT
RUNNING THROUGH DON SAINTE
CLAIRE'S MIND WAS I'M DEAD.
HE HAD NO CONTROL OVER HIS
PARAGLIDER AND WHEN IT STRUCK
THE WHOLE WORLD TURNED INTO A
BALL OF FIRE.
THIS IS THE STORY OF HOW DON
LIVED TO TELL ABOUT IT.
WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE ANY
ISSUES.
IT LOOKED LIKE A VERY NORMAL
EVENING FOR FLYING AND WE WERE
JUST LOOKING TO GETTING IN THE
AIR.
STEVE HURT AND HIS FRIEND DON
SINCLAIR HAD DONE THIS HUNDREDS
OF TIMES BEFORE PREPPING THEIR
GEAR TO AN EVENING OF POWERED
PARAGLIDING.
THINK IT WAS PUSHING 80 DEGREES
AND THE WINDS WERE LIGHT AND IT
WAS A BEAUTIFUL BLUE SKY
EVENING.
DON STARTED TO TAKE OFF
FIRST BUT WHEN HE COULDN'T GET
HIS WING PROPERLY INFLATED HE
HAD ABORT AND START OVER.
SO STEVE WITH HIS GOPRO
RECORDING TOOK OFF.
HE CIRCLED THE FIELD, THEN FLEW
TO TO THE RENDEZVOUS SPOT TO
WAIT FOR DON.
AFTER 10 MINUTES OF NOT SEEING
HIM IN THE AIR, I DECIDED TO
FLY BACK AIRPORT AND CHECK ON
HIM.
I SAW HIM INFLATE THE WING AND
BEGIN TO TAKE OFF.
THEN SOMETHING WENT WRONG.
DON WAS TOO LOW AND HEADING
TOWARDS SOME TREES THAT LINED
ONE SIDE OF THE AIRFIELD.
NORMALLY MACHINE WOULD HAVE
ENOUGH POWER TO CLIMB AND
STRAIGHTEN OUT AND THIS
PARTICULAR EVENING IT DIDN'T.
DON BANGED HARD TO THE RIGHT
AND AVOIDED THE TREES BUT NOW
THE WIND WAS AT HIS BACK AND HE
WAS PICKING UP SPEED HEADING
STRAIGHT TOWARD SOME POWER
LINES.
ALL STEVE COULD WAS WATCH.
I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD.
I LITERALLY WATCHED HIM TURN
INTO A BALL OF FIRE AND I
THOUGHT THAT'S NOT SURVIVABLE.
IT WAS JUST THE WORST FEELING
I'VE EVER HAD.
IMMEDIATELY STEVE LANDED THE
AIRFIELD.
HE GRABBED HIS PHONE TO CALL
911 AS HE RAN ACROSS THE STREET
TO HIS FRIEND WAS PRAYING THAT
HE WAS ALIVE.
I REALLY THOUGHT I WATCHED A
HUMAN BEING DIE.
BUT AS HE GOT CLOSER HE
COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HE SAW.
DON WAS CONSCIOUS AND APPEARED
TO BE UNHURT.
IT LOOKED UP AND TALKED TO
ME AND I THOUGHT WOW, THIS IS A
MIRACLE.
INCREDIBLY, DON RECALLS
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED.
AS SOON AS I SAW I WAS GOING TO
HIT HIM.
THE ONLY THOUGHT THAT WENT
THROUGH MY IS I'M DEAD.
SO WHEN I HIT THOSE LINES THE
WHOLE WORLD TURNED INTO A BALL
OF FIRE AND I WAS JUST WAITING
LITERALLY IT ALL TO COME TO AN
END AND INSTEAD I HAD THE
FEELING OF FALLING AND THE NEXT
THING I KNEW I WAS ON MY BACK
ON THE GROUND LOOKING UP AT
SKY.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE I WAS ALIVE
TO BE QUITE HONEST.
AND AS I LAID THERE I SAID
THANK YOU GOD BECAUSE I KNEW
RIGHT AWAY THE ONLY WAY I
SURVIVED THAT WAS DIVINE
INTERVENTION WITHIN.
PARAMEDICS ARRIVED AND RUSHED
ON TO THE UNIVERSITY OF
MICHIGAN HOSPITAL ANN ARBOR.
MEANWHILE, STEVE CALLED DON'S
WIFE.
IT'S LIKE OH, DON IS GOING
TO BE OKAY.
BUT YEAH, LITTLE.
AND HE WAS VERY CALM WHICH WAS
VERY GOOD.
I STARTED PRAYING AND I WAS
PRAYING INSTANTLY THAT POINT
ON.
KAREN DROVE THE 30 MINUTES
TO THE HOSPITAL PRAYING THE
WHOLE WAY WHEN SHE ARRIVED SHE
LEARNED DON HAD SECOND AND
THIRD DEGREE BURNS OVER 25% OF
HIS BODY.
DEFINITELY IN THE SPIRIT WAS
WITH ME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW
HOW I DIDN'T PANIC OR DIDN'T
YOU KNOW, HAVE AN ANXIETY
ATTACK WHEN.
I FINALLY GOT TO SEE KAREN.
FIRST OF ALL, I WAS ELATED TO
STILL BE THERE BUT SEEING HER
AND SHARING HER THAT I WAS
GOING TO BE OKAY AND THAT YOU I
WAS GOING TO MAKE IT THROUGH
IT.
THAT JUST STRENGTHENED OUR BOND
EVEN GREATER.
NOW DON WOULD BEGIN THE LONG
PROCESS OF RECOVERY THAT WOULD
START WITH SKIN GRAFTS.
KAREN STARTED TEXTING TO PRAY
FOR HIS HEALING.
TWO DAYS LATER WHEN DON WENT IN
GRAFT SURGERY, HIS DOCTOR
DISCOVERED SOMETHING.
IT LOOKED LIKE THE SKIN WAS
STARTING TO HEAL ITSELF.
THEY WENT AHEAD AND COVERED HIS
BURNT SKIN WITH PIGSKIN TO
ALLOW IT TO HEAL ON ITS OWN.
AND MY THAT WASN'T A SURPRISE.
LITERALLY HUNDREDS PEOPLE
SENDING OUT PRAYERS TO ME AND
AND I KNOW THAT THAT WAS PART
OF MY HEALING PROCESS.
DON SAYS THOSE PRAYERS ALSO
HELPED HIM IN THE PAINFUL WEEKS
THAT FOLLOWED.
I ACTUALLY HAD WAVES OF PAIN
THAT WOULD OF COURSE THROUGH MY
ARMS, MY LEGS AND AS I CLOSED
MY EYES AND JUST ON WHAT WAS
GOING ON AND THE IMAGE THAT
CAME TO ME WAS THAT THOSE WAVES
WERE HANDS THAT WERE ACTUALLY
CRUSHING THOSE WOUNDS.
IT WAS THOSE PRAYERS COURSING
THROUGH ME AND THAT SENT ME AT
EASE.
JUST TWO WEEKS AFTER THE
ACCIDENT, DON'S DOCTORS DECIDED
HE WAS WELL ENOUGH TO GO HOME.
THE SURGEON HAD LOOKED ME
OVER AND HE SAID YOU'RE HEALING
QUICKLY.
I KNOW IT WAS THE PRAYERS DOING
A GOOD JOB.
BUT I HEALED QUICKER THAN THEY
EXPECTED.
DON WAS SOON BACK TO HIS CHORES
ON THEIR RANCH AND SIX MONTHS
LATER HE HAD MADE A FULL
RECOVERY.
ARE FEW THAT DON'T AGREE THAT
DON'S SURVIVAL WAS A MIRACLE
ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE
POWER LINES HE HIT WHERE WHERE
CARRYING 140,000 VOLTS OF
ELECTRICITY.
WHEN I HIT THOSE LINES THE
EXPLOSION KNOCKED THE BREATH
OUT OF ME ME.
HAD I INHALED THAT SUPERHEATED
AIR IT WOULD HAVE SEARED MY
LUNGS.
THE ELECTRICITY SURROUNDED ME.
IT SHOULD HAVE GONE THROUGH ME.
THE GAS IGNITE OR EXPLODE.
THE BATTERY DIDN'T EXPLODE.
50 FOOT FALL SHOULD BE FATAL.
I DOWN MOTOR SIDE FIRST HERE
THEY COME DOWN.
FIRST THE £85 ENGINE WITH ME.
THE LIST OF WHY I KNOW I'M
BLESSED AND WHY THERE WAS
DIVINE INTERVENTION A LONG
LIST.
THERE'S NO WAY I SHOULD HAVE
SURVIVED.
IT DEFINITELY STRENGTHENED
MY BELIEF IN PRAYER AND
REALIZING HOW SPECIFIC YOU CAN
PRAY WHAT YOUR TROUBLES THE
JESUS HANDS YOU'LL GET THROUGH
THIS LIFE SO MUCH BETTER YOU'LL
HAVE A COMFORT IN YOUR SOUL
THAT IS UNMATCHED BY ANYTHING
ELSE.
HIS EYE IS ON YOU.
HE KNOWS YOU BY NAME.
HE KNOWS YOUR NEED WHAT A
MIRACLE THIS WAS AND SO MANY
LEVELS TODAY.
I HOPE THAT ENCOURAGES YOU WITH
WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE FACING
YOU KNOW SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE
IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING
THAT'S DIFFICULT IN YOUR LIFE
YOU CAN JUST GET PULLED DOWN BY
IT THAT YOU CAN GET DRAGGED
DOWN BY IT.
TODAY WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE GOD
IS BIG.
HE'S VERY BIG.
HE'S VERY PERSONAL, KNOWS YOU,
HE CARES ABOUT YOU.
AND SO IT'S OUR PLEASURE TODAY
JOIN WITH YOU AND TO PRAYING
FOR THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE
LIFTING BEFORE OF GOD.
HE HEARS US WHEN WE PRAY HE
SAYS WHERE WE'RE TOGETHER TWO
OR MORE HE'S RIGHT THERE IN THE
MIDST OF US WE HAVE SOME OTHER
NOT REQUESTS BUT REPORTS THAT
HAVE COME.
THIS IS BENITA.
SHE EMAILED THAT ON OCTOBER 3RD
OF THIS YEAR SHE WAS WATCHING
THIS PROGRAM AND GORDON, YOU
THERE'S A WOMAN WITH
FIBROMYALGIA AND SHE'S BEEN
SUFFERING WITH IT IT FOR YEARS.
GOD IS HEALING YOU OF THAT
RIGHT NOW.
AS SOON AS SHE SAID THAT I SAID
THAT'S ME AND I RECEIVE THAT
RIGHT NOW IMMEDIATELY A WAVE OF
COOLNESS ROLLED DOWN MY BODY
THING I DID WAS RAISE MY ARMS
AND I STARTED MOVING MY BODY IN
WAYS THAT I COULDN'T BEFORE.
I THANK GOD FOR MY I WILL
ALWAYS PRAISE HIM AND GIVE HIM
ALL THE GLORY.
THANK YOU JESUS.
AND HERE'S SHARON BY EMAIL.
I HAD SEVERE SHOULDER
DISCOMFORT.
I WAS PRETTY SURE IT WAS
ROTATOR CUFF BUT I DIDN'T GO TO
THE DOCTOR.
I COULD BARELY MOVE MY ARM.
THEN TERRI SAID THERE IS
SOMEONE WITH PAIN IN IN YOUR
SHOULDER GOD IS HEALING YOU.
I JUMPED AND SAID THAT'S FOR
ME.
I BEGAN PRAISING GOD.
IMMEDIATELY MOVEMENT WAS
RESTORED.
TERRI ALSO SAID YOUR NAILS
ARE GROWING OUTWARD.
MY NAILS HAD STARTED TURNING
OUTWARD AS TERRI SAID I CLAIM
MY HEALING AND CONTINUED TO
PRAISE GOD.
YOU GOT A DOUBLE MIRACLE.
THAT'S THE KEY TO MIRACLES
WHERE YOU REACH OUT AND YOU
GRAB IT.
YOU HEAR THE WORD AND YOU SAY
THAT'S FOR ME.
YOU HEAR THE PROMISE OF GOD.
REALIZE THE PROMISES GOD ARE
YES AND A MAN FOR ALL WHO ARE
IN CHRIST JESUS NOW AMEN JUST
MEANS SO IT'S YES AND AMEN.
IT'S YOU SAYING YES AND YES AND
YES TO THE PROMISE OF GOD.
YOU SAYING THAT FOR ME IN THE
SCROLL THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN
OF ME WHEN.
YOU GET THAT YOU GET ALL THE
FAITH YOU NEED TO BELIEVE FOR
HEALING.
NOW GOD IS WITH YOU.

UP NEXT SMOKING NO DRINKING,
NO DRUGS.
WELL WHEN NIKKI MARRIED TONI
THEY BLENDED THEIR FAMILY OF
SEVEN CHILDREN.
FOR A FEW YEARS THEY HAD A
HAPPY LIFE.
THEN TONI TOOK UP WITH BAD
COMPANY FROM HIS HIS PAST AND
NIKKI FOLLOWED SUIT AND SOON
MARRIAGE FELL APART.
BY THE TIME MY HUSBAND I WAS
20 WITH TWO BOYS, TWO DIFFERENT
BABY DADDIES AND JUST VERY
BROKEN.
NIKKI THOMPSON BEEN THROUGH
A STRING OF DYSFUNCTIONAL
RELATIONSHIPS WHEN SHE MET TONI
HE WAS OLDER SIX YEARS CLEAN
FROM A LONG HISTORY OF DRUG
ABUSE AND HAD CUSTODY OF FIVE
OF HIS SIX KIDS.
WE REALLY DID A SWEET
COURTSHIP AND AFTER A COUPLE OF
SHORT MONTHS WE THAT WE WERE
GOING TO GET MARRIED.
THE FIRST COUPLE OF YEARS
WERE GREAT.
WE WERE JUST BLENDING.
TONI HAD HIS KIDS, I HAD MINE
AND THEN WE HAD FREDDIE.
IT LITERALLY MADE US YOURS,
MINE AND OURS.
WE TOOK THE KIDS IN THE MINIVAN
TO GAMES IN THE PARK.
WE WENT CAMPING.
WE DID ALL THE THINGS FAMILY
WOULD DO.
DURING THAT TIME TONI
STARTED COMPANY AND HIRED
FRIENDS FROM HIS PAST.
WE THOUGHT THAT WE WERE
GOING TO BE ABLE TO INFLUENCE
THEM BY OUR FAMILY FRIENDLY
LIFESTYLE LIKE WE WERE GOING TO
BE ABLE TO SHOW THEM ARE HAPPY
MARRIAGE AND THAT WE ALLOW
SMOKING ON OUR PROPERTY AND WE
DIDN'T DRINK AND WE DIDN'T DO
DRUGS AND THAT WE WERE GOING TO
INFLUENCE THEM BUT IT WAS JUST
THE OPPOSITE.
YOU KNOW THAT BAD COMPANY DOES
REALLY GOOD MORALS AND WITHIN
A YEAR OF THE CONSTRUCTION
COMPANY THERE WAS LYING
INFIDELITY AND EVENTUALLY DRUG
DEALING.
THE COUPLE SEPARATED AND LATER
DIVORCED AS TONY WENT BACK TO
HIS FORMER WAYS.
I ENDED UP EXPERIMENT WITH AND
THAT BECAME A FULL BLOWN
ADDICTION.
WITHIN A WEEK I CALLED UP
AND SAID HEY, I KNOW YOU'RE
USING I WANT TO GET HIGH TOO
BECAUSE IN MY OWN SICK TWISTED
MIND I THOUGHT THAT WOULD GET
ME MY MARRIAGE BACK.
LIKE THAT WAS THE ONE COMMON
BOND THE THREAD THAT WE DID NOT
HAVE THAT WOULD TIE US
TOGETHER.
AND HE CAME OVER AND I WAS LIKE
INSTANTLY ADDICTED.
NIKKI'S DRUG BECAME A DAILY
HABIT.
AT THE SAME TIME TONY WAS
ARRESTED JAILED FOR
MANUFACTURING METH.
I GOT ON THE NEEDLE.
YOU CHASE THAT THAT FIRST HIGH
YOU FIND YOURSELF DOING THINGS
THAT YOU SWORE YOU WOULD HAVE
NEVER DONE AND JUST GOING AND
DARKER AND DARKER.
I HAD ALREADY BEEN WATCHING
PORN FOR A WHILE AND A GIRL HAD
MADE A PASS AT ME.
I FOUND MYSELF STARTING TO
SLEEP WITH WOMEN.
I BECAME SUICIDAL WHILE I WAS
IN JAIL.
I WAS GOING THROUGH WITHDRAWALS
.
THE FIRST SEVERAL WEEKS THERE
AND BLAMING MYSELF.
WELL AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS IN
THE COUNTY JAIL I WAS READING
THE BIBLE AND I WAS ABLE TO
WATCH THE TV PREACHERS ON THE
TV.
I WAS HEARING STUFF THAT I'VE
NEVER HEARD OR I DON'T RECALL
HEARING IN CHURCH, YOU KNOW, AS
A YOUNG MAN OR A CHILD.
I BEGAN GET REALLY INTERESTED.
THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THIS
JESUS THAT HE HAD LOVED BEING
THAT HE'D FORGIVEN ME ALL THE
THINGS THAT I'D EVER DONE.
I MEAN I NEEDED TO HEAR THAT I
NEEDED SOME ACCEPTANCE.
I WAS AT SUCH A LOW POINT THAT
THAT WAS MY LIFELINE.
SO I BEGAN TO WRITE NIKKI AND
SHARE WITH HER WHAT I WAS
LEARNING.
FRANKLY, I THOUGHT IT WAS
JAILHOUSE RELIGION LIKE I WAS
BASICALLY LIKE YOU HAD YOUR
SHOT AND YOU BLEW IT.
LIKE YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IS
BECAUSE OF THE CHOICES YOU MADE
AND I DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT
HIS JESUS.
I WAS ACTUALLY LEARNING
ABOUT A NEW LIFE AND SUDDENLY I
BEGAN TO DESIRE WHAT THIS NEW
LIFE WAS OFFERING AND THAT'S
THE DIRECTION THAT I STARTED
GOING.
WHEN HE STARTED WRITING LETTERS
FURTHER INTO IT HE WOULD START
SIGNING THEM LOVE ALWAYS AND
FOREVER YOUR HUSBAND ANTHONY.
AND I WAS LIKE, HE'S AN
IDIOT.
LIKE WE'RE EVEN MARRIED.
AFTER SERVING 18 MONTHS,
TONY WAS RELEASED FROM JAIL
WITH HIS NEW FAITH IN JESUS HE
LONGED TO RESTART HIS LIFE WITH
NIKKI AND WENT TO SEE HER.
I WAS BOMBARDED WITH THOUGHTS
LIKE LOOK AT HOW HE'S LOOKING
AT YOU LIKE HE'S HERE TO JUDGE
YOU.
HE CAN PROBABLY SEE THE
BLOWN OUT VEIN LIKE HE IS NOT
GOING TO STAND BY WHILE YOU USE
DRUGS AND JUST SLEEP AROUND
WITH WHOEVER.
HE WILL TAKE FRIDAY FROM YOU.
AND SO BEFORE SLAM THE DOOR OUR
SON FREDDIE CAME RUNNING IN
BECAUSE HE HEARD TONY'S VOICE.
HE WAS 18 MONTHS OLD
WHENEVER I WENT TO PRISON.
HE'D ONLY SEEN ME A COUPLE
OF TIMES WHILE I.
I WAS IN PRISON.
AND THREE AND A HALF YEARS
LATER ALL HE HAD TO DO HEAR MY
VOICE AND HE KNEW WHO I WAS.
THAT TUGGED AT MY HEART AND
HE PICKS FREDDIE UP AND HE PUTS
HIM ON HIS LAP AND HE START
SAYING THINGS LIKE FREDDIE,
MOMMY AND DADDY LOVE YOU AND
MOMMY AND DADDY REALLY WANT TO
HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.
BUT FIRST MOMMY AND DADDY HAVE
TO TALK.
SO WE NEED YOU TO BE THE
OBEDIENT BOY THAT YOU ARE.
GO IN THE OTHER ROOM AND WHEN
WE'RE DONE WE'LL COME HEAR WHAT
YOU SAY.
AND I HAD NEVER WITNESSED THAT
LIKE WAS THE KINDNESS AND
GOODNESS OF GOD ON DISPLAY FOR
ME TO SEE.
HE DIDN'T REACT IN RAGE.
HE DIDN'T REACT IN ANGER.
THAT WAS COMPLETE TOTAL
SELF-CONTROL.
ALL COULD THINK WAS IT'S NOT
JAILHOUSE RELIGION.
IT'S REAL.
LIKE SOMETHING HAS CHANGED
IN HIM AND IF HE HAS KIND OF
PEACE, I WANT THAT TOO.
AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE
COUPLE REMARRIED AND EVENTUALLY
NIKKI ALSO BECAME A FOLLOWER OF
JESUS.
THEY'VE BEEN SET FREE FROM PAST
ADDICTIONS ARE EXPERIENCING A
RICH MARRIAGE WITH GOD AS THE
FOUNDATION TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK
WITH MY WIFE ABOUT WHAT SHE WAS
LEARNING.
AND HERE HER SHARE OR ABOUT
THE GOSPEL BACK TO ME INSTEAD
OF ALWAYS ME SHARING THE GOSPEL
TO HER.
AND THEN JUST TO HER DO THAT
WITH OTHER PEOPLE SEEING HER
SHARE THE GOSPEL WITH COMPLETE
.
THAT WAS MY MILESTONE VERY
FIRST ONE IN BETWEEN THE
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE
MARRIAGES REALLY GREAT THING
ABOUT HAVING OUR PERSPECTIVE IS
WE HAVE THAT MARRIAGE WITHOUT
JESUS WHERE THINGS WERE OKAY
BUT OF COURSE THEY CRUMBLED.
AND NOW THAT WE HAVE THIS NEW
MARRIAGE JESUS, THIS COVENANT
WHERE WE KNOW IT'S NOT JUST A
CONTRACT BUT IT IS ACTUALLY FOR
LIFE WE HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL TO
ONE ANOTHER AND WE TRULY DO
ENJOY BEING MARRIED.
WE ARE CREATED IN HIS IMAGE ONE
MAN, ONE WOMAN.
COVENANT MARRIAGE IT'S A
BEAUTIFUL THING AND YOU CAN
HAVE THAT SAME BEAUTIFUL THING
.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE?
WELL, THE SAME THING THAT NIKKI
AND TONI FELT THAT YOUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS IS THE
STARTING POINT FOR EVERY
RELATIONSHIP IN YOUR LIFE.
IT COMPLETELY CHANGES FOR
NIKKI AND TONY.
THEY HAD A RELATIONSHIP
POISONED BY SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND
THAT WAS TONY THAT STARTED IT
AND AND THEY WENT AFTER IT.
THEY BOTH HAD WITH IT.
THEY BOTH HAD THIS CONCEPT THAT
SOMEHOW IS BETTER WHEN YOU'RE
HIGH BUT WHEN YOU'RE FOLLOWING
AS OPPOSED TO A LIVING SAVIOR,
WHEN YOU'RE CHASING THAT WHEN
YOU'RE CHASING THAT EXPERIENCE
YOU ARE NO.
IT NEVER SATISFIES.
IT GETS YOU ANYWHERE.
ALL IT DOES IS ROB YOU OF TIME
AND OF MONEY AND RELATIONSHIP
YOU HAVE.
IT WANTS TOTAL DOMINATION OVER
YOUR LIFE AND WHEN YOU COME TO
THE REALIZATION THAT THE THING
THAT YOU THINK IS GETTING YOU
HIGH IS ACTUALLY KILLING YOU OR
THAT'S THE MOMENT WHERE YOU CAN
SAY THERE'S TO BE A BETTER WAY
FOR TONY IT TOOK TIME IN THE
JAIL WHERE HE HAD TO GO THROUGH
WITHDRAWAL AND IN THAT HE
STARTED READING THE BIBLE.
THEN HE STARTED LISTENING TO
AND THE MESSAGE IS QUITE CLEAR
GOD STOP MAD AT YOU.
HE'S NOT TRYING TO JUDGE YOU.
JESUS LOVES YOU.
HE SO LOVES YOU THAT HE WAS
WILLING TO GIVE HIS LIFE FOR
YOU.
GOD SO LOVED YOU THAT HE WAS
WILLING TO GIVE JESUS YOU THAT
AMAZING LOVE BECAUSE YOU'RE SO
WORTH IT.
THAT AMAZED CAN TRANSFORM
YOU AND TRANSFORM IN YOUR LIFE.
YOU CAN HAVE A NEW LIFE.
YOU CAN HAVE A START OVER.
YOU CAN HAVE A HOPE.
CAN HAVE A FUTURE.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET IT.
IT'S REAL SIMPLE YOU ASK FOR IT
IT.
JESUS IF YOU'RE THERE IF YOU
REALLY ARE MY MESSIAH, IF YOU
REALLY CAME TO SAVE ME AND TO
FREE ME FROM ALL MY ADDICTIONS
FREE ME ALL MY SINS FORGIVE ME
CLEANSE ME MAKE ME AGAIN IF
THIS IS ALL REAL COULD YOU DO
FOR ME?
COULD YOU SHOW UP FOR ME?
IF YOU WANT TO PRAY THAT PRAYER
CALL US ONE 800 707,000.
WE'RE NOT HERE, JUDGE YOU.
WE'RE NOT HERE TO CONDEMN YOU.
WE'RE HERE TO TELL YOU GOD, YOU
AND HE'S GOT A WONDERFUL LIFE
FOR YOU.
YOU'LL JUST ASK FOR IT.
SO CALL AND.
HERE'S A WORD FROM FIRST
