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.

SEE CBN PARTNERS WE HAVE A

SPECIAL MAILING COMING FOR YOU

DOT SLASH TERRY.

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

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
