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,
NEWS FROM THE FEDERAL RESERVE
TURNS OUT TO BE GOOD NEWS FOR
THE STOCK MARKET.
THE FED DECIDING TO LEAVE
INTEREST RATES UNCHANGED
WEDNESDAY AND THREE COMING CUTS
TO BORROWING COSTS IN THE NEXT
YEAR.
MARKS THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE
MEETING IN WHICH POLICYMAKERS
HAVE CHOSEN TO INTEREST RATES
AT THE CURRENT LEVEL THE
HIGHEST IN 22 YEARS AS THE
CENTRAL BANK WORKS TO COMBAT
PERSISTENT INFLATION.
THE DOW CLOSING AT A RECORD
HIGH, MORE THAN 500 POINTS TO
RISE 37,000 FOR THE FIRST TIME
EVER.
WELL, U.S. DISTRICT PUT ON HOLD
AN ELECTION INTERFERENCE CASE
AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD
.
TRUMP'S LEGAL TEAM IS PURSUING
CLAIMS THAT HE'S IMMUNE FROM
PROSECUTION FOR ACTIONS TAKEN
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

FORMER PRESIDENT COME UNDER
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
INVESTIGATION AND INVESTIGATION
OVER A PHONY DOSSIER.

TERRITORY HERE IN AMERICA.

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?
YES, THIS IS AN ORGANIZATION
THAT ACTUALLY EVOLVED OUT OF
THE SEARCH FOR ME.
REALLY?
YES THE GENEALOGIST ALISON

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.
YOU'RE GIVING YOUR LIFE TO HIM.
THAT'S WHY WE SING I SURRENDER
ALL IT'S A OF WHO YOU ARE IT'S
A SURRENDER OF THOSE TIMES
TEMPTATION IN YOUR LIFE IT'S A
SURRENDER OF YOUR PLANS THAT
HAVE TAKEN YOU AMOK GOD'S GOT
PLAN AND PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE
WHY WOULD WANT ANYTHING LESS
THAN THAT NO MATTER WHERE
YOU'VE BEEN AND WHAT YOU'VE
DONE YOU CAN GO BACK TO THAT
PLACE OF SAYING YES TO JESUS.
HE'S ALWAYS THERE.
HE SAYS IN HIS WORD I STAND AT
THE DOOR AND KNOCK.
HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE DOOR TO
YOUR HEART.
HE SAYS IF ANYONE OPENS THE
DOOR AND INVITES ME WILL COME
IN AND HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM
AND HE WITH ME THAT'S.
YOUR INVITE TODAY IT'S AN
INVITATION TO RETURN NAUGHTY
WITH THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU MORE
THAN ANYONE ELSE.
ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE.
WILL YOU PRAY WITH ME TODAY TO
?
