WELCOME THE 700 CLUB.

VICTORY AND NOTHING LESS.

ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN

NETANYAHU RE-EMPHASIZED

COUNTRY'S COMMITMENT TO CRUSH

HAMAS.

THIS CAME AFTER THAT KILLED TEN

ISRAELI SOLDIERS.

THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS IT'S NOT

WAVERING IN ITS SUPPORT FOR

ISRAEL.

AND YESTERDAY THE PRESIDENT MET

WITH THE FAMILIES OF AMERICAN

HOSTAGES.

AS CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS,

THEY'RE HOPING FOR A CHRISTMAS

MIRACLE AFTER PRESIDENT BIDEN'S

COMMENTS ABOUT A CHANGE IN

ISRAEL'S GOVERNMENT.

THE WHITE HOUSE DECLARED THAT

DESPITE CONCERNS U.S. SUPPORT

FOR ISRAEL IS NOT DIMINISHED

THE PRESIDENT YESTERDAY

REFLECTED THE REALITY OF GLOBAL

OPINION WHICH MATTERS.

OUR SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL IS NOT

DIMINISHED BUT WE HAVE HAD

CONCERNS AND WE HAVE EXPRESSED

THOSE CONCERNS THE PROSECUTION

OF THIS MILITARY CAMPAIGN.

EVEN WHILE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT

IT'S HAMAS THAT STARTED THIS

AND IT'S HAMAS THAT IS

CONTINUING IT.

ISRAEL'S DEFENSE MINISTER

ALSO RECOGNIZED THE DIFFERENCES

THE U.S. BUT BELIEVES THE TWO

NATIONS WILL CONTINUE TO WORK

TOGETHER.

THAT'S THE KEY AND THE BASE.

THEY WANT OUR SUCCESS AND WE

AWARE WE MUST DO SO WHILE

TAKING THEIR NEEDS INTO ACCOUNT

AND WITHOUT GIVING UP ON THE

GOALS OF THE WAR.

THE IDF SAYS SEVEN HAMAS

GUNMEN SURRENDERED TO ISRAELI

TROOPS AT A HOSPITAL IN GAZA.

IN ONE OF THE IDEAS BLOODIEST

DAYS IN GAZA.

TUESDAY TEN ISRAELI SOLDIERS

INCLUDING SEVERAL COMMANDERS

DIED IN A HAMAS AMBUSH.

YESTERDAY WE HAD A VERY

DIFFICULT DAY AND EVERY DAY WE

HAVE PRECIOUS BOYS WHO FALL.

THE TRUE HEROES OF ISRAEL.

MY HEART AND OUR HEARTS GO OUT

BOTH THE FALLEN AND THE

FAMILIES AND WE KNOW THEIR

LIVES.

AND WITH THAT I WANT TO SAY IN

THE CLEAREST WAY I JUST SAID TO

THE COMMANDER IN THE FIELD.

WE CONTINUE TO THE END.

NOTHING WILL STOP US.

WE WILL GO TO THE END TO

VICTORY NO LESS THAN THAT.

WITH THE PROGRESS IN THE

FIELD AND OF HUNDREDS OF HAMAS

FIGHTERS, NETANYAHU SAYS HE

HAMAS IS STARTING TO BREAK.

HOWEVER, IN THE WEST A WARTIME

OPINION POLL RELEASED WEDNESDAY

SHOWED SUPPORT FOR HAMAS IS

RISING.

THE POLL REVEALED 90% SAY

PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY PRESIDENT

MAHMOUD ABBAS SHOULD RESIGN.

THIS UNDERMINES U.S. GOAL OF

HAVING THE P.A. RULE GAZA AFTER

THE WAR.

ON WEDNESDAY, FAMILIES OF

AMERICANS TAKEN HOSTAGE BY.

HAMAS MET WITH BIDEN AT THE

WHITE HOUSE.

THEY EXPRESS THANKS AND HOPE

THAT THEY MIGHT SOON BE

REUNITED WITH THEIR LOVED ONES.

IT WAS A TERRIFIC, TERRIFIC

MEETING AND CONVERSATION.

I THINK WE ALL CAME AWAY

FEELING THAT AS FAMILIES OF

HOSTAGES OF AMERICAN ISRAELI

HOSTAGES WHICH ARE EIGHT OUT OF

A TOTAL OF HUNDRED AND 38

HOSTAGES WE FELT THAT YOU KNOW,

WE FELT BEFORE AND WE WERE ONLY

IN SEEING AND BELIEVING THAT WE

COULD HAVE NO BETTER FRIEND IN

WASHINGTON OR IN THE WHITE

HOUSE PRESIDENT BIDEN HIMSELF

AND HIS ADMINISTRATION.

WE LOVE A MIRACLE.

WE WOULD LOVE ALL OF OUR LOVED

ONES TO COME BACK AND BE WITH

US FOR CHRISTMAS.

SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE

POPE, OUR HOPE IS THAT HE AND

OTHERS LIKE HIMSELF INFLUENCE

THESE PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST

THAT ARE ALL ACTORS IN THIS

PART OF GETTING THESE HOSTAGES

OUT.

CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN

JERUSALEM.

FAMILY MEMBERS LET US

CONTINUE TO PUT PRESSURE ON

HAMAS AS TO WHERE THE PRESSURE

PROPERLY BELONGS.

THEY'RE ONES THAT STARTED THIS.

IT WAS A HORRIFIC ATTACK AND

ISRAEL IS JUSTIFIED IN

DEFENDING ITSELF AND THIS TO

THE END.

HAMAS HAS TO STOP.

THEY HAVE TO UNCONDITIONALLY

SURRENDER.

THEY HAVE TO RELEASE ALL OF

THEIR HOSTAGES.

THEY HAVE TO GIVE UP ARMS AND

THEY NEED TO SURRENDER.

WELL, THE NETANYAHU

GOVERNMENT IS FACING INTERNAL

CRITICISM CRITICISM OVER THE

OCTOBER 7TH ATTACKS.

NEW REPORTS INDICATE THAT

ISRAELI INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS

HAD ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE THE PLAN

AND THEY DISMISSED IT AS

UNREALISTIC.

CHUCK HOLTON REPORTS FROM

JERUSALEM ON THIS CRITICAL

FAILURE OCTOBER SEVENTH HAMAS

LAUNCHED AN ATTACK RESULTING IN

HUNDRED FATALITIES MARKING A

SIGNIFICANT OVERSIGHT BY

ISRAELI INTELLIGENCE DESPITE

HAVING A DETAILED 40 PAGE

OPERATION PLAN NAMED JERICHO

WALL.

ACCORDING NEW YORK TIMES,

ISRAELI AUTHORITIES

UNDERESTIMATED HAMAS'S

CAPABILITIES DISMISSING THEIR

PLANS AS OVERLY AMBITIOUS.

OBVIOUSLY THE WORST

INTELLIGENCE FAILURE IN THE

HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL

IT'S ONE OF THE WORST

INTELLIGENCE FAILURES IT SEEMS

IN THE HISTORY OF A MODERN

WARFARE OF HUMANITY OR STATE.

AND OBVIOUSLY THERE WILL BE AN

ACCOUNTING.

BUT RIGHT NOW ISRAEL SEEMS

ACROSS THE BOARD OVERWHELMINGLY

.

SURE THEIR POLITICAL PRESSURES

AND THEIR VOICES BUT OVERALL

SEEMS TO TO BE UNITED IN THE

UNDERSTANDING THAT RIGHT NOW

THERE IS AN EXISTENTIAL ENEMY

TRYING TO DESTROY THE PEOPLE OF

ISRAEL, THE STATE, THE JEWS.

THE ATTACK REPORTEDLY

MIRRORED HAMAS'S STRATEGIC A

COMBINATION OF ROCKET BARRAGES

AND DRONES AIMED AT CRIPPLING

SECURITY SYSTEMS ALONG WITH

GUNMEN USING DIVERSE TRANSPORT

METHODS SUCCESSFULLY BREACHED

ISRAELI DEFENSES.

ANY OBJECTIVE OBSERVER IS

GOING TO AGREE THAT YEAH IT WAS

AN INTELLIGENCE FAILURE THAT

THE ENEMY PLAN AND ORGANIZE

THAT MANY THOUSANDS OF FIGHTERS

TO BREACH IN 30 DIFFERENT

BREACH POINTS COME THROUGH THE

FENCE AND DO THAT THAT KIND OF

DAMAGE.

HOWEVER YES INTELLIGENCE

COLLECT A LOT OF INTELLIGENCE

AND AND IT'S HARD TO DETERMINE

WHAT IS PERFECT AND ACCURATE

INTELLIGENCE VERSUS IS

CONJECTURE.

BUT THIS ISN'T THE FIRST

TIME ISRAEL HAS HAD TO OVERCOME

THESE CHALLENGES.

THE ISRAELIS HAVE HISTORY OF

OVERESTIMATING THEIR

CAPABILITIES AGAINST THEIR

ENEMIES AND, UNDERESTIMATING

THE THREAT WHEN IT COMES TO THE

ARABS SPECIFICALLY.

IN BOTH THE 1967 AND THE 73

WARS, THE ISRAELIS ALMOST LOST

THEIR COUNTRY.

THEY DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO

THE WARNING SIGNS THAT WERE

EVERYWHERE AND THAT SORT OF

SERVED AS A LESSON IN THIS WAR

WITH HAMAS.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY FELL

PREY TO THE SAME HUBRIS THIS

TIME.

WELL.

SO YES, THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN

INDICATIONS WARNINGS A YEAR

BEFORE.

THE FACT IS WE KNOW THIS

BECAUSE THE THE INVOLVED HAVE

SAID SO I HAD THESE SAME

OPERATIONS TRANSLATED.

THEY WERE DONE BY PEOPLE WHO

WHO WERE SYRIAN BY EGYPTIANS

AND BY PEOPLE IN THE UAE AND

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE GUYS

SAID THIS OPERATIONS ORDER IS

THE WAY PERSIAN PEOPLE TALK.

SO I THINK A LOT OF THIS MIGHT

HAVE BEEN PLANNED IN IRAN.

THE AFTERMATH OF THE ATTACK

RAISES CRITICAL IN HOW ISRAEL

IDENTIFIES AND REACTS TO

CREDIBLE THREATS.

ISRAEL KNEW ABOUT SOME OF

THIS INFORMATION BUT THEY

CONSIDER IT ASPIRATIONAL WHEN

YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THIS SEEMED

LIKE SUCH AN OFF THE WALL

ATTACK HERE USING HANG GLIDERS

AND SO ON.

WHO WOULD WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF

THAT AND

GUY THAT PUTS THEIR CAREER ON

LINE AND SAYS HEY GUESS WHAT?

KASSAM IS GOING TO ATTACK

WITH HANG GLIDERS BEFORE THEY

SPEND ANY EFFORT ON DECIDING

WHO TO BLAME.

HOWEVER NEEDS TO WIN THE

WAR.

IT HAS TO GO WAY PAST THAT

AND YOU KNOW, CONTROL THE

PRESSURE COMING IN FROM THE

WORLD TO CREATE STATE GOVERNED

BY THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

WHICH IS NO NO LESS EVIL THAN

HAMAS.

THERE NEEDS TO BE A COMPLETE

CHANGE IN HOW ISRAEL RELATES TO

THOSE HOSTILE POPULATIONS THAT

SURROUND IT.

CHUCK HOLTON, CBN NEWS,

JERUSALEM.

WELL, AS STORY IS PLAYING I

THOUGHT OF OUR OWN INTELLIGENCE

FAILURE BACK AT 911 WHERE THERE

SEEMED TO BE CHATTER.

THERE SEEMED TO BE DISCUSSION

AND BUT IT JUST SEEMED

ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS THAT

PEOPLE COULD COMMANDEER

AIRPLANES AND FLY THEM INTO

BUILDINGS.

SO YOU LOOK AT THIS AND SAY

FROM A HUMAN STANDPOINT YOU CAN

UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WOULD THINK

IT WAS ASPIRATIONAL.

THIS WAS JUST SO OUTLANDISH

THAT THEY DIDN'T THINK IT WAS

POSSIBLE.

AT THE SAME TIME YOU HAVE TO

GIVE IT CREDIBILITY AND SO

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THIS

INTERNAL INVESTIGATION AND

WHERE IS ISRAEL GOING TO GO

WITH THIS?

LARGER QUESTION AND IT IS A

MUCH LARGER QUESTION DID DID

AMERICA WIN 911?

DID WE WIN THE WAR IN

AFGHANISTAN?

WE WIN THE WAR IN IRAQ?

HAVE WE WON THE WAR AGAINST

RADICAL TERRORISM?

I THINK THE ANSWER QUITE

CLEARLY IS NOW WE HAVE IT AND

SO ISRAEL CAN WIN THE BATTLE

HAMAS BUT HAS IT WON THE PEACE

AND WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE TO

WIN THE PEACE TO CHANGE THE

IDEOLOGY?

THE PALESTINIANS ARE RAISED

WITH THAT.

ISRAEL SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM

THE MAP AND THIS CHANCE FROM

THE RIVER TO THE SEA.

WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE MANY

GENERATIONS IS IT GOING TO TAKE

TO WIN THE PEACE AND IN THAT

WHAT NEEDS TO BE DISMANTLED

THAT IS CURRENTLY FUNDING IT.

NOW WE CAN LOOK AT FUNDS COMING

FROM IRAN BUT WHAT ABOUT FUNDS

COMING FROM THE U.N.?

WHAT ABOUT FUNDS COMING THE

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO

PROP UP UNWRA TO PROP UP THE

PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY, ALLOW

THEM TO CONTINUE TO TRAIN THEIR

CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN'S

CHILDREN IN TERRORIST.

UNWRA HAD TERRORISTS ON SALARY

UNWRA EMPLOYEES WERE HOLDING

HOSTAGES.

THAT MEANS UNWRA SHOULD STOP TO

WE SHOULD STOP FUNDING TERROR.

PRESIDENT BIDEN FACES A FORMAL

IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY.

THE HOUSE NARROWLY APPROVED THE

RESOLUTION LAST NIGHT IN A

PARTY LINE VOTE.

REPUBLICANS SAY INQUIRY IS

NEEDED TO GATHER EVIDENCE THE

PRESIDENT IMPROPERLY BENEFITED

FROM FAMILY BUSINESS DEALINGS.

MEANWHILE, BIDEN'S SON HUNTER

LIKELY WILL FACE A CHARGE OF

CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS FOR

REFUSING TO TESTIFY.

CBN'S MARK MARTIN HAS THE

STORY.

IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY RESOLUTION

CALLS FOR THREE HOUSE

COMMITTEES TO CONTINUE

INVESTIGATING BIDEN.

THE PRESIDENT CALLS THE MOVE A

BASELESS POLITICAL STUNT.

ON THIS VOTE THE AYES ARE

221 AND THE NAYS ARE TO 12.

THE RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED.

THE VOTE PUT THE ENTIRE

HOUSE REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE ON

RECORD IN SUPPORT OF THE

INQUIRY.

REPUBLICANS ARE ARE SEEKING TO

TIE THE PRESIDENT TO HIS SON

HUNTER'S BUSINESS DEALINGS AS

PART OF THE INVESTIGATION.

THIS IS AN INVESTIGATION OF

JOE BIDEN.

HUNTER A KEY WITNESS BECAUSE WE

WE HAVE A SIMPLE QUESTION AND

THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS HAVE

QUESTION WHAT DID THE BIDENS DO

TO RECEIVE TENS OF MILLIONS OF

DOLLARS FROM OUR ENEMIES AROUND

THE WORLD?

SO FAR THE INVESTIGATION IS

REVEALED.

ANY HARD EVIDENCE TO BACK UP

SOME GOP CLAIMS?

REPUBLICANS SAY THE INQUIRY

WILL GIVE THEM MORE TOOLS TO

PURSUE THE.

DEMOCRATS SEE THE IMPEACHMENT

INQUIRY AS UNNECESSARY AND

POLITICALLY MOTIVATED.

THEY HAVE NOT LAID A GLOVE

ON PRESIDENT BIDEN AND THEY

HAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIM

COMMITTING COMMITTING OFFENSE

MUCH LESS AN IMPEACHABLE

OFFENSE.

THE PRESIDENT SLAMS

ACCUSATIONS THAT HE BENEFITED

FROM HIS FAMILY'S FOREIGN

BUSINESS DEALINGS.

HE RELEASED A STATEMENT SAYING

INSTEAD DOING ANYTHING TO HELP

MAKE AMERICANS LIVES BETTER.

THEY ARE FOCUSED ON ATTACKING

ME WITH LIES.

MEANWHILE, HUNTER BIDEN DEFIED

SUBPOENAED TO TESTIFY BEFORE

HOUSE LAWMAKERS WEDNESDAY

INSTEAD SPEAKING OUT PUBLICLY

ON CAPITOL HILL, FIRST TIME

SINCE TWO CRIMINAL INDICTMENTS

WERE HANDED DOWN AGAINST HIM.

AND IN THE DEPTHS OF MY

ADDICTION I WAS EXTREMELY

RESPONSIVE WITH MY FINANCES.

BUT TO SUGGEST THAT IS GROUNDS

FOR AN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY IS

BEYOND THE ABSURD.

IT'S SHAMELESS.

THERE'S NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT

THE ALLEGATIONS THAT MY FATHER

WAS FINANCIALLY INVOLVED IN MY

BUSINESS BECAUSE IT DID NOT

HAPPEN.

HUNTER HE'S ONLY WILLING TO

TESTIFY IN PUBLIC.

HOUSE OVERSIGHT CHAIR COMER

SAYS HE'S ALREADY INITIATING

CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS

PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE

PRESIDENT'S SON.

KOMAR ISSUED A JOINT

STATEMENT WITH HOUSE JUDICIARY

CHAIR JIM JORDAN SAYING WE WILL

NOT PROVIDE SPECIAL TREATMENT

BECAUSE HIS LAST NAME IS BIDEN.

HUNTER SAYS HIS LIFELONG

STRUGGLE WITH ALCOHOLISM AND

DRUG ABUSE SHOULDN'T PULLED

UNDER THE IMPEACHMENT

INVESTIGATION.

THEY BELITTLED MY RECOVERY

AND THEY HAVE TRIED TO

DEHUMANIZE ME ALL EMBARRASS AND

DAMAGE MY FATHER WHO HAS

DEVOTED HIS ENTIRE PUBLIC LIFE

TO SERVICE.

APPROVING THE MONTHSLONG

IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY ENSURES THE

INVESTIGATION WILL EXTEND WELL

INTO THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL

RACE.

MARK MARTIN CBN NEWS THANK YOU,

MARK.

TURNING TO THE ECONOMY,

WELL, U.S. DISTRICT PUT ON HOLD

AN ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE

AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD

TRUMP'S LEGAL TEAM IS PURSUING

WHILE IN OFFICE.

THE OBAMA APPOINTED FEDERAL

JUDGE RULED SPECIAL COUNSEL

JACK SMITH'S CASE AGAINST

CANNOT MOVE FORWARD UNTIL AN

APPEAL MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH

THE LEGAL SYSTEM.

A FEDERAL APPEALS COURT HAS

ALREADY AGREED TO SMITH'S

REQUEST TO FAST TRACK THE CASE.

THE SUPREME COURT HAS ALSO

INDICATED IT WILL EXPEDITE A

HEARING.

PROSECUTORS CONCERNED MULTIPLE

APPEALS WILL DELAY TRIAL BEYOND

THE 2024 ELECTION.

WELL, WE'RE WEEKS AWAY FROM THE

IOWA CAUCUSES.

POLLS SHOW FORMER PRESIDENT

TRUMP RUNNING AWAY IN THE GOP

PRIMARY AND POSSIBLY EVEN

WINNING THE GENERAL ELECTION

AGAINST PRESIDENT BIDEN.

CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT

ROBERTSON REPORTS ON WHAT A

SECOND TERM FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP

MIGHT LIKE.

FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS

TOUTING HIS PLANS FOR A SECOND

TERM ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL

BEFORE VOTES ARE EVEN CAST.

AND CHIEF AMONG THEM IS

POLITICAL PAYBACK OPENED UP A

PANDORA'S BOX AND I ONLY CAN

SAY TO TO JOE IS BE VERY

CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.

TRUMP HEADLINES TELLING SEAN

HANNITY THE VISION FOR DAY ONE

OF HIS PRESIDENCY.

I LOVE THIS GUY.

HE SAYS YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE

A DICTATOR, ARE YOU?

I SAID NO, NO, NO.

OTHER THAN DAY ONE, WE'RE

CLOSING THE BORDER AND WE'RE

DRILLING, DRILLING, DRILLING.

AFTER THAT I'M NOT KIDDING.

TRUMP DESCRIBES HIS 2024

PLATFORM AS BIG IDEAS BOLD

AMBITIONS

2020 FOUR WITH THE AGENDA IT IS

VERY AND FORWARD LOOKING AND

VERY PATRIOTIC.

TRUMP PROMISES TO REBUILD

THE ECONOMY BY MAKING AMERICA A

MANUFACTURED SUPERPOWER AND

ENERGY INDEPENDENT.

HERE'S HIS BEST IF YOU WILL.

AND IT'S JOE BIDEN.

I MEAN HE'S PRETTY MUCH RUNNING

AGAINST WHAT BIDEN HAS DONE THE

LAST FOUR YEARS.

TRUMP SAYS SHUT DOWN BIDEN'S

BORDER DISASTER WITH PLANS TO

DEPUTIZE GUARD TO REMOVE

ILLEGAL GANG MEMBERS AND

CRIMINALS WHILE CALLING FOR

DRUG SMUGGLERS AND HUMAN

TRAFFICKERS TO RECEIVE PENALTY.

HE ALSO PLEDGES TO END

BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP BORN IN

THE U.S. IN REGARD TO THE

FORMER PRESIDENT'S ONGOING

LEGAL ISSUES.

SO FAR THEY'VE ONLY SEEMED TO

BOOST HIS SUPPORT.

VOTERS SEE THEMSELVES A BIT

IN DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE

PRO-LIFERS HAVE BEEN UNDER

ATTACK.

PARENTS AT SCHOOL BOARDS HAVE

BEEN A PARENT CONSERVATIVE

PARENTS THAT SPEAKING OUT.

SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS HAVE BEEN

UNDER ATTACK BY THE DOJ AS WELL

.

SO THERE IS EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST

THAT TRUMP IS NOT THE ONLY.

IF IT WAS JUST TRUMP AND

EVERYBODY ELSE WAS TREATED

FAIRLY.

WOULD BE THING.

NATHAN GONZALES FROM INSIDE

ELECTIONS TELLS CBN NEWS A

SECOND TERM FOR TRUMP WOULD

LOOK MUCH DIFFERENT THAN HIS.

I THINK A SECOND TRUMP TERM

WOULD BE SOME FOLKS TAKING

ADVANTAGE OF AN OPPORTUNITY TO

DRASTICALLY CHANGE AND THE ROLE

OF GOVERNMENT BUT ALSO AN

OPPORTUNITY TRUMP TO EXACT

REVENGE ON PEOPLE WHO HE FEELS

HAVE DONE HIM WRONG.

AND HE THINKS VOTERS SHOULD

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHAT

TRUMP IS SAYING THE CAMPAIGN

TRAIL.

IF TRUMP WINS, I DON'T THINK

IT'S GOING TO BE BECAUSE PEOPLE

WERE LISTENING TO EVERYTHING HE

WAS SAYING HE WAS DOING.

IT WILL BE BECAUSE BIDEN IS OLD

OR PEOPLE DON'T FEEL SECURE AND

WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN

BIDEN.

NOT THAT THEY ARE FOR SOME

BROAD AGENDA OR THEY ARE FOR

PARDONING, YOU KNOW, JANUARY

SIXTH INSURRECTIONISTS WHILE

RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS LIKE A TRUMP

BIDEN REMATCH IS ON THE

HORIZON.

A LOT COULD HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW

AND NOVEMBER 2024 TO SHAKE THIS

UP.

REPORTING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE,

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON NEWS GAYLE

INDICTMENT.

I NEVER THOUGHT IN HIS TERM

THAT EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF HIS

STAFF WOULD HAVE TO TO HIRE

THEIR OWN ATTORNEY BECAUSE OF

WHAT THEY WERE ALL UNDER

WELL JUNE 2022 JUST LAST

YEAR HOLLY MARIE IS APPROACHED

BY TWO STRANGERS IN LAW

ENFORCEMENT.

TELL HER NEWS SHE NEVER

EXPECTED TO HEAR.

A COUPLE WAS BRUTALLY MURDERED

40 YEARS EARLIER AND SHE WAS

DAUGHTER HOLLY MARIE WAS A BABY

WHEN SHE VANISHED ALONG WITH

HER PARENTS THE COUPLE WHO HAD

GOTTEN INVOLVED A RELIGIOUS

CULT WERE LATER FOUND BRUTALLY

MURDERED BUT HOLLY REMAINED

MISSING.

HER BIRTH FAMILY NEVER GAVE

UP HOPE.

THEN THAN 40 YEARS LATER WITH

THE HELP OF PERSISTENT

DETECTIVES, HOLLY WAS FOUND

ALIVE.

SHE SHARES THE PAINFUL TRUTH OF

DISCOVERING HER PAST AND THE

JOY OF REUNITING WITH HER

BIOLOGICAL FAMILY IN HER BOOK

FINDING BABY.

HOLLY.

WELL, HOLLY MARIE JOINS US

NOW FOR OF THE STORY.

WE WELCOME YOU TO THE 700 CLUB.

IT'S A FAST STORY OF YOUR LIFE

AND THE CULMINATION HAPPENING

JUST LAST YEAR.

GO BACK IF YOU WILL FOR US TO

THE BEGINNING YOUR PARENTS WERE

VERY YOUNG.

THEY JOINED YOUR BIOLOGICAL

PARENTS.

THEY JOINED A CULT.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THEIR

LIVES?

WHAT WAS GOING ON?

WELL, THEY HAD TOLD THE

BIOLOGICAL FAMILY THAT THEY

WERE MOVING TO TEXAS TO FOR

MORE WORK FOR BETTER INCOME,

BETTER JOB SALARY.

AND SO WHEN THEY ARRIVED IN

TEXAS HAD AN UNCLE THAT HAD

HELPED THEM, YOU KNOW, GET AND

THEY WERE ABLE TO GET INTO A

TRAILER.

AND THEN AFTER THEIR FIRST

MONTH OF BEING IN THIS TRAILER

WITH WITH ME, THEY JUST

DISAPPEARED AND THE BIOLOGICAL

FAMILY SAID THE UNCLE HAD

CALLED HIS MY BIOLOGICAL FATHER

DEAN AND HAD CALLED HIS MOTHER

AND SAID THAT THE WHITE ROBED

GROUP WAS BACK AND THAT HIS

DAUGHTER HAD OVERHEARD MY

PARENTS DEAN AND TINA ARGUING

ABOUT THE BROTHERS.

YOU KNOW WE CAN'T MAKE THE

BROTHERS ANGRY.

AND SO THAT FELT VERY ODD

BECAUSE YOU KNOW, HE MY DAD HAD

ONLY HAD ONE YOUNGER BROTHER

AND SO THERE WASN'T A BROTHER'S

TO BE ANGRY AT AND SO IT WAS

JUST FELT VERY DIFFERENT TO

THEM.

AND IT HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE

THEY DISAPPEARED.

THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY INVOLVED IN

THE CULT AND THE FAMILY THROUGH

THESE CONVERSATIONS SOMEWHAT

AWARE OF THAT OF WHAT HAD

HAPPENED.

AND THEN THE THE STORY OF

YOUR ADOPTION I MEAN YOU

MENTIONED THE BROTHERS IN WHITE

THREE WOMEN IN WHITE BRING YOU

TO PASTOR OF THE CHURCH HAVE

ARIZONA AND TEXAS TO ARIZONA.

RIGHT RIGHT AND IN YOUR MINOR

ARIZONA IT'S A VERY NOMADIC

PLACE TRAVEL THROUGH NOT

NECESSARILY SETTLE DOWN AND

LIVE THERE.

AND THE GROUP THE WHITE ROBE

GROUP HAD COME TO THE CHURCH

BEFORE ASKING FOR HELP, YOU

KNOW, WITH IN SITUATIONS FOR

FOOD OR TRANSPORTATION.

SO MY DAD, THEY HAD MY DOCTOR

DAD BEING THE PASTOR WOULD HELP

THEM WHEN THEY WOULD COME AND

THIS TIME THEY WERE COMING WITH

HAVING A A BABY TO TAKE CARE

OF.

WOW.

AND THEY JUST LEFT YOU AT

PLACE.

THE PASTOR AND HIS WIFE ADOPTED

YOU FAMILY?

YES.

SO WHEN YOU WERE GROWING UP

YOU WERE VERY YOUNG AT THIS

POINT A BABY REALLY YOU DIDN'T

KNOW OR WOULDN'T ANY OF THE

DETAILS OF THIS.

WHAT DID YOU DID

MEAN OFTEN WHEN KIDS ARE

ADOPTED THEY HAVE THIS SENSE

THEIR LIFE NOT BEING FULLY

COMPLETE BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY

DON'T KNOW.

YOU KNOW IT'S NOT THAT THEY'RE

NOT HAPPY WITH THEIR ADOPTED

FAMILY BUT THERE'S LIKE A HOLE

IN WAS IT LIKE FOR YOU GROWING

UP?

I DID FEEL A LITTLE

DIFFERENT FROM FROM OTHERS

ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT YOU

DAD WAS VERY HONEST WITH ME AND

TOLD ME WHAT A SPECIAL GIFT I

WAS TO HIM AND THAT MY

BIOLOGICAL PARENTS GAVE ME UP

TO JOIN THE RELIGIOUS GROUP

THAT HE THEM.

DID YOU HAVE DID YOU HAVE

RESENTMENT YOUR HEART AT ALL

ABOUT THAT OR WERE YOU ABLE TO

JUST ACCEPT IT?

YOU KNOW I DID.

I THINK BECAUSE OF THE FAITH

THAT HE BUILT ME UP IN THAT I,

I WAS ABLE TO ACCEPT THAT FACT

THAT THEY HAD GIVEN ME UP TO

FOLLOW GOD BECAUSE HE ALWAYS

TOLD ME THEY LOVED ME AND THAT

WAS JUST THEIR LIFE THAT THAT

THEY NEEDED TO DO IT WAS TO

FOLLOW GOD THEY HAD GIVEN ME TO

HIM AND WHAT A SPECIAL I WAS TO

HIM.

SO WE WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL

AND YOU HAVE AN EXPERIENCE WHAT

HAPPENED WHILE YOU WERE THERE?

YES.

SO IN HIGH SCHOOL BY THAT TIME

I HAD SOME DIFFICULTIES WITH

DIFFERENT FAMILY DYNAMICS.

MY DAD HAD A COUPLE OF DIVORCES

SO I HAD FAMILY AND THEN OF

LOSS OF FAMILY.

AND SO EVERYTHING WITH THIRD

ONE, THE THIRD FAMILY DYNAMIC I

WASN'T READY FOR FOR THAT.

SO MY HEART JUST KIND OF PUSHED

AWAY AND SO I PUT MY I KIND OF

CLOSED THE DOOR ON THAT AND

ALSO CLOSED THE DOOR ON FAMILY

AND THE FACT THAT I KNEW BY

THEN THAT THEY HAD JOINED THE

CULT AND JOINING A CULT YOU

EITHER YOURSELF TO A CULT OR

YOU DIE BECAUSE YOU'RE IN THE

CULT.

AND SO I CLOSED THE DOOR ON MY

BIOLOGICAL FAMILY SO I KIND OF

CLOSED THE DOORS ON MY ADOPTED

AND BIOLOGICAL FAMILY AND PUT

ALL MY HOPE IN MY EX-BOYFRIEND

AND STARTING FAMILY WHEN I

SHOULD HAVE PUT MY HOPE AND

TRUST IN GOD FOR THE FAMILY

THAT HE WAS PROVIDING ME WITH.

BUT MANY THINGS HAVE

HAPPENED YOU AT THAT POINT THAT

WOULD HAVE LED YOU DOWN A

DIFFERENT PATH.

DID YOU THINK I MEAN ALONG

THE WAY DID YOU EVER THINK OF

TRYING TO FIND YOUR BIOLOGICAL

PARENTS OR DID YOU JUST IT WAS

IMPOSSIBLE.

YOU KNOW, I REALLY DID TRY

TO FIND THEM AT 11 WHEN I WAS

11.

I DID TRY TO SEARCH FOR THEM

WITH.

MY DAD ADOPTIVE DAD TOOK ME TO

THE HOSPITAL WHERE I WAS BORN

BECAUSE WE.

WE HAD THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE

AND I SEARCHED THOSE MEDICAL

RECORDS OUT BUT WAS BECAUSE OF

MY AGE.

AND SO AT THAT POINT IN MY LIFE

I JUST KNEW, YOU KNOW, GOD HAD

PROVIDED ME EVERYTHING I NEEDED

AND I WASN'T TO KNOW THEN SO I

ACCEPTED THAT.

SO LIFE WENT ON FOR YOU FOR A

LONG TIME AND THEN LAST YEAR

HAPPENED.

TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.

I MEAN JUST A YEAR AGO

EVERYTHING CHANGED FOR YOU.

IT DID.

OH MY GOODNESS.

LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS CAME

TO YOUR HOUSE.

I MEAN NOT YOU EXPECTED AND

WHAT HAPPENED?

RIGHT.

THEY ACTUALLY CAME CAME TO MY

WORK.

I WAS WORKING AND WHEN THEY

CAME THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT

THIS MISSING CHILD AND I

THOUGHT IN MY MY HEART AND MIND

WHO DO I KNOW THAT'S MISSING I

DON'T KNOW ANYBODY THAT'S

MISSING.

THEY WERE FROM TEXAS SO I

THOUGHT I DON'T KNOW ANYBODY IN

TEXAS.

AND THEN THEY ASKED ME THE

QUESTION AND THEY SAID DO YOU

KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR

BIOLOGICAL PARENTS.

WOW.

AND I SAID YES, I DO.

I, I HAD TOLD THEM THAT MY

ADOPTIVE DAD TOLD ME THEY HAD

JOINED RELIGIOUS GROUP HE

CALLED IT BUT I KNOW IT WAS A

CULT AND THAT I BELIEVED THAT

THEY HAD DIED IN WACO.

OH, YOU THOUGHT PART OF THE

THE DAVIDIAN INCIDENT.

SO WHAT DID HAPPEN TO YOUR

BIOLOGICAL PARENTS.

THE INVESTIGATORS TOLD ME THAT

THEY HAD DIED BUT THAT THEY

WERE MURDERED.

WHAT DID THAT MAKE YOU FEEL

AFTER ALL THESE OF WONDERING

WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND WHO THEY

WERE NOT JUST TO GET A CLOSED

DOOR BUT I MEAN A VIOLENT

CLOSED DOOR ON NEVER KNOWING

THEM.

IT WAS OVERWHELMING GRIEF

AND FOR WHAT THEY HAD TO GO

THROUGH BUT AN AMAZING THING

HAPPENED.

THEIR FAMILY, THEIR BIOLOGICAL

FAMILY BEEN ALWAYS LOOKING FOR

AND WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED TO

TO YOU.

THEY KNEW THAT YOUR PARENTS HAD

DISAPPEARED BUT WHERE WAS THE

BABY.

SO THIS OPENED THE DOOR TO

ANOTHER WHOLE FAMILY.

YOU.

TELL US ABOUT THAT.

YES.

OH, IT WAS AN OVERWHELMING

JOYOUS FEELING TO KNOW THAT I

HAD MY BIOLOGICAL FAMILY

SEARCHING WANTING ME AND

PRAYING FOR ME TO BE FOUND.

WHAT IS THAT BEEN LIKE

GETTING TO KNOW ALL THESE

PEOPLE THAT ARE RELATED YOU

THAT YOU HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF

BEFORE?

OH IT'S BEEN A WONDERFUL AND

AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE.

THEY'RE A LOVING AND FAITHFUL

FAMILY AND I TELL THAT THROUGH

HOW THEY SPEAK THROUGH THE

MEMORIES THEY'VE SHARED AND

THROUGH THEIR PRAYERS AND THEY

ARE GREAT PRAYER WARRIORS.

SO IT'S FEELING TO KNOW THAT

MY BIOLOGICAL AND ADOPTIVE

FAMILIES ARE BOTH LOVING AND

FAITHFUL PEOPLE THAT WANTED

PRAYED FOR ME MY WHOLE LIFE.

I MEAN I'M DOUBLE BLESSED.

SO HOLLY, WHAT DID FAITH

MEAN TO YOU THROUGH ALL OF THIS

?

IT CAME AND WENT AS YOU WERE

GROWING UP AND GOING THROUGH

ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU DID.

BUT RIGHT NOW HOW DOES FAITH

IMPACT KNOWING ALL OF THIS AND

JUST DEALING WITH ALL OF THIS?

I COULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN

THROUGH THIS WITHOUT MY FAITH

IN GOD.

THERE IS JUST NO WAY I AM SO

THANKFUL TO HAVE THAT STABILITY

IN MY LIFE, THAT'S FOR CERTAIN.

YOU SUPPORT A GROUP CALLED

GENEALOGY AN ORGANIZATION?

WHAT IS THAT?

KICKED OUT OF HIS HOUSE.

LIVING IN THIS TRUCK AND

ADDICTED TO PAIN PILLS AND

HEROIN BRETT PORTER'S LIFE WAS

OUT OF CONTROL.

HE WAS TRAPPED IN IN A DARKNESS

HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW EXISTED.

SO YET ANOTHER JAIL STINT BRETT

PRAYED A PRAYER HELP ME BRING

THAT DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT.

I THOUGHT WHY ONE PILL DO

HOW MUCH HARM COULD COME FROM

ONE PILL?

BRETT PORTER HAD IT ALL.

A CLOSE FRIENDS AND POPULARITY

IN COLLEGE BRETT DEDICATED HIS

LIFE TO CHRIST AND LIFEGUARD.

EVEN BETTER.

I WAS JUST PLUGGED INTO THE

CHURCH AND IT'S GONE ON MISSION

TRIPS AND ENJOYING MY NEW LIFE

IN CHRIST.

AFTER HE GRADUATED BRETT

DECIDED TO PURSUE HIS

LANDSCAPING BUSINESS FULL TIME.

I STARTED WORKING MORE HOURS

.

I STARTED SLOWLY PULLING AWAY

UNINTENTIONALLY FROM THE CHURCH

MYSELF ONE AFTERNOON LOOKING

FOR SOME EQUIPMENT AND A, A

FAMILY MEMBER'S HOUSE AND I

STUMBLED UPON SOME PAIN PILLS.

I THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD

TELLING ME NOT TO DO IT AND I

PUSHED THROUGH THAT BECAUSE I

THOUGHT I KNEW.

SO I TOOK IT AND THEN I FOUND

MYSELF A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER

BACK.

I ENJOYED THAT FEELING.

I IT PROVIDED A FORM OF ESCAPE

FOR ME.

I QUIT TAKING THEIR PILLS

BUT I STILL HAD THE CRAVING.

BRAD CONTACTED AN OLD FRIEND

WHO WAS A DEALER.

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER I

AT STOPPING AND I GOT REALLY

AND I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THAT

WAS.

HE SAID WELL COME SEE ME CAN

FIX IT.

SO I REALIZED I DON'T WANT TO

FEEL LIKE THIS.

THEN I NEED TO TAKE MORE PILLS

AND WERE EXPENSIVE.

BRETT BEGAN STEALING FROM

FAMILY MEMBERS TO SUPPORT HIS

ADDICTION.

I WAS SCARED IN SOME WAYS

BECAUSE WAS SO ASHAMED.

GOD HAD DONE A MAJOR WORK IN MY

LIFE LEADING UP TO THAT AND SO

I DIDN'T WANT MY TESTIMONY.

I STILL DIDN'T WANT TO BRING IT

IT INTO THE LINE FOR FEAR OF

JUDGMENT.

I JUST SLOWLY GOT MORE AND MORE

PULLED IN.

STILL BELIEVE THAT THIS ISN'T

WHO I AM.

I KNOW I CAN COME OUT OF THIS

BUT I'LL DO IT TOMORROW AND

TOMORROW NEVER CAME.

LAUREN, A CHILDHOOD FRIEND

REACHED OUT TO BRETT I

RECOGNIZED THAT HE NEEDED SOME

PEOPLE IN HIS CORNER AND SO I

JUST TRIED TO STEP IN AS I

COULD AND THEN FROM THAT IT

KIND OF GREW INTO MORE.

OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS

BRETT WAS IN AND OUT OF JAIL

AND REHAB.

AFTER HIS THIRD REHAB, BRETT

CALLED HIS DEALER FOR MORE

PILLS AND INSTEAD WAS OFFERED

HEROIN.

I DO REMEMBER BELIEVING IN THAT

MOMENT BECAUSE I REALLY DID

HATE NEEDLES SO MUCH THAT WILL

BE A ONE TIME THING.

I'LL GET MY FIX AND THEN I

WON'T DO THIS ANYMORE.

NOTHING COULD HAVE BEEN FURTHER

FROM THE TRUTH.

AT THAT MOMENT EXPERIENCED A

LEVEL OF DARKNESS THAT I DID

NOT KNOW EVEN EXISTED AND

REALLY BECAME A FULL BLOWN

OVERNIGHT.

I WAS LIVING OUT OF MY TRUCK.

MY HAD KICKED ME OUT OF HIS

HOUSE.

I WASN'T WELCOMED TO FAMILY

HOLIDAYS, FAMILY GET TOGETHERS.

TO SEE SOMEONE THAT YOU CARE

ABOUT SO MUCH SEEMINGLY JUST

INTO THEIR DESTRUCTION.

I HAD TO KIND OF LIVE IN IN

THAT TENSION OF KNOWING THAT I

WAS HELPLESS.

I CANNOT REALLY HELP HIM.

GOD WAS GOING TO HAVE TO WORK A

MIRACLE.

DIDN'T WANT TO LOOK AT MYSELF

IN THE MIRROR.

I WANTED TO GET BACK TO THAT

PLACE WHERE I WAS BEING USED BY

GOD AND I JUST DIDN'T KNOW HOW

MY LIFE WAS OUT OF CONTROL.

AND SO I REMEMBER CALLING OUT

TO GOD THAT HE WOULD PLEASE

HELP ME BASICALLY GET OUT OF

THIS.

SOON AFTER THE POLICE SHOWED UP

ON HIS DOORSTEP.

BRETT DID MORE JAIL TIME AND

WENT BACK TO REHAB.

ONE OF MY PRAYERS FOR HIM

WAS THAT GOD BRING THINGS TO

LIGHT THAT WERE IN THE DIRT AND

HE WOULD TRULY STRIP AWAY

ANYTHING THAT NEEDED TO BE

STRIPPED AWAY THAT THIS WOULD

BE A LASTING CHANGE.

I REMEMBER PRAYING ONE

MORNING AND THE SPIRIT JUST

TELLING ME TO TRUST HIM AND IT

WAS THAT I HELD ON TO AND I

DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE

LOOKED LIKE BUT I KNEW THAT GOD

LOVE ME THAT HE SAW AND THAT I

WOULD TRUST HIM FOR THE NEXT

DECISION THAT EVERYTHING WAS

GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

THEN HE TOLD ME TO GO TO

ANOTHER LONG PROGRAM AND I SAID

WHAT?

I WILL DO ANYTHING THAT.

BRETT WENT TO A LONG TERM

FAITH BASED REHAB FOR THE NEXT

YEAR AND WORKED ON HIS

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

SLOWLY STARTED SURRENDERING

THINGS TO HIM.

SAND LOST ITS POWER AS I WOULD

BRING IT INTO THE LIFE AS I

WOULD DO THAT I WOULD THINK OH

THIS ISN'T SO BAD.

WHY DID I WORK THIS UP IN MY

HEAD TO BE SUCH A THING?

AND I REMEMBER CLINGING TO A

VERSE PSALM 32 EIGHT THAT SAYS

I WILL SHOW TEACH YOU IN THE

WAY YOU SHOULD GO AND I WILL

TELL YOU WHAT TO DO WITH MY

EYES UPON YOU AND I JUST GRIT

TO VERSE WHEN I STARTED TO

REALLY EXPERIENCE HIS LOVE, HIS

FORGIVENESS THE WORD AND THE

TRUTH THAT IT'S HIM THAT MAKES

ME CLEAN RIGHTEOUS BUT FOR HIM

THAT WAS TRANSFORMING FOR ME.

BRETT INTERNED WITH THE

CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM AND

AFTERWARDS HE AND LAUREN

MARRIED.

NOW THEY HAVE TWO SONS AND

BRETT HAS HIS OWN BUSINESS HAD

GOTTEN INTERVENED.

BRETT WOULDN'T BE HERE

TODAY.

GOD'S RESTORED SO MUCH THE

RELATIONSHIP WITH MY DAD AND

GIVEN ME A FAMILY ALL THE

THINGS THAT I NEVER THOUGHT

THAT I WOULD HAVE AGAIN HAS SAW

FIT.

BLESS ME WITH THOSE THINGS.

WHETHER WE'RE ALL VULNERABLE

ABOUT OUR PROBLEMS AS WE SHOULD

BE OR NOT EVERY IS EXPERIENCING

SOMETHING.

THERE IS REAL WHEN YOU BEGIN TO

BRING THINGS INTO THE LIGHT AND

LET GOD HAVE CONTROL.

BRINGING THINGS TO THE LIGHT IS

WHERE TRUE FREEDOM IS FOUND.

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU FOR

JUST A MINUTE ABOUT.

YOU KNOW BRETT HAD REALLY JUST

COME JESUS AND HIS LIFE AND WAS

JUST BEGINNING TO WALK WITH HIM

AND LEARN ABOUT WHAT IT MEANT

TO BE A FOLLOWER OF JESUS.

THERE IS AN ENEMY OF GOD WHO

WANTS TO THAT VERY RELATIONSHIP

AND SO RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT

THAT LITTLE PILL APPEARED AND

YOU KNOW, A SORT OF LIKE JIMINY

CRICKET IN PINOCCHIO.

THERE WAS A LITTLE VOICE THE

HOLY SPIRIT WHO SPOKE TO HIM

AND SAID DON'T TAKE THAT PILL.

AND HE SAID I PUSHED THROUGH

IT.

I PUSHED THROUGH THE WARNING OF

GOD TO DO THE THAT I WANTED TO

DO.

SEE TEMPTATION THEN BECOME

DISOBEDIENCE.

AND JESUS SAID IF YOU LOVE ME.

YOU'LL OBEY REASON.

HE SAID THAT WAS BECAUSE MAKING

CHOICES APART FROM THAT WILL

DESTROY YOUR LIFE.

WHAT I HOPE YOU CAME OUT OF

THAT STORY WITH IS IT DOESN'T

MATTER HOW FAR YOU'VE GONE.

YOU KNOW THERE'S THAT SAYING

AND I'LL TAKE THAN YOU EVER

THOUGHT YOU'D GO IT'LL COST YOU

MORE THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT

YOU'D PAY AND IT'LL KEEP YOU

LONGER THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT

YOU YOU WOULD STAY.

BUT IT'S NOT THE END OF THE

STORY BECAUSE THE VERY FAITH

THAT WAS KINDLED A NEW LONG IS

THERE TODAY.

SOMETIMES A SMALL LITTLE LIGHT

THAT NEEDS TO BE FOUND AGAIN

BUT LIGHT ALWAYS WINS OVER THE

DARKNESS YOU KNOW IN THE

PROCESS OF ALL OF THAT PART OF

HAPPENED WITH BRETT WAS THAT HE

HE WAS FILLED WITH SHAME KNEW

IN THE BEGINNING HE KNEW THAT

WHAT HE WAS DOING WAS WRONG AND

IT WAS ALWAYS I'M JUST GOING TO

FIX IT THIS WAY.

I DON'T WANT PEOPLE I DON'T

WANT THE SHAME INVOLVED IN

THIS.

BUT YOU SEE WITH SIN ONE OF THE

THINGS THAT HAPPENS AFTER A

WHILE COMMON BLOWS AWAY LIKE

THE WIND AND YOU YOU START

THINKING YOU CAN FIX IT.

YOU START THINKING THAT ONE

MORE THING IS THE THING THAT'S

GOING TO GET YOU OUT OF THIS

AND NOBODY HAS TO EVER KNOW.

EVEN THINKING THAT DOWN TO THE

POINT USING A NEEDLE BECOMING

FULLY WE WENT THROUGH JAIL

TIME.

I MEAN THE ENEMY WAS OUT TO

DESTROY HIM BUT GOD BUT GOD YOU

SEE IT'S LIKE THAT IN EVERY ONE

OF OUR LIVES BUT GOD RIGHT IN

THE MIDDLE OF OUR CIRCUMSTANCE

TARSUS COMES ROARING BACK IN

AND SAYS I LOVE YOU, COMES

ROARING BACK IN THE LION OF

JUDAH AND I HAVE A PLAN AND A

PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE AND IT'S

DESTRUCTION.

IT'S NOT SHAME.

IT'S HOPE IN THE FUTURE BUT YOU

NEED TO GIVE YOUR LIFE HIM YOU

NEED TO COME BACK TO THE ONE

WHO CREATED YOU TO THE ONLY WHO

WILL EVER LOVE YOU WHOLLY AND

COMPLETELY NO MATTER WHAT.

JESUS CAME.

SO OUR COULD BE FORGIVEN SO WE

COULD BE SET FREE AND SO WE

COULD HAVE ETERNITY WITH HIM

DON'T TURN DOWN THAT.

IT'S FREE AND IT'S FOR YOU

TODAY GOD IS SAYING TO YOU ARE

YOU WILLING TO WALK AWAY FROM

THE FOOLISHNESS OF THE CHOICES

THAT YOU'VE MADE THAT HAVE

TRIED TO TO DESTROY YOUR LIFE?

WILL YOU RECEIVE ME?

YOU SEE, IT'S NOT JUST A

PRAYER.

IT'S A RELATIONSHIP.

SO WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS YOU'RE

INVITING HIM INTO YOUR LIFE.

YOUR HEART.

IN AND HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM
