COMING UP ON THE SEVEN
O'CLOCK TIME, EVERYBODY,
WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.
IT'S A DONE DEAL.
NIKKI HALEY IS DROPPING OF THE
RACE THIS MORNING.
SO THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION IS SET.
THAT'S RIGHT.
DONALD TRUMP JOE BIDEN
OVERWHELMINGLY WON THEIR SUPER
TUESDAY CONTESTS UP A REMATCH
IN NOVEMBER.
CBS NEWS WHITE HOUSE
CORRESPONDENT ROBERTSON REPORTS
.
AFTER A DOMINANT SUPER
TUESDAY WIN, FORMER PRESIDENT
TRUMP IS ON TRACK TO SECURE THE
DELEGATES NEEDED TO BE THE GOP
PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE AS SOON AS
MARCH 12.
THEY CALL IT SUPER TUESDAY
FOR A REASON.
THIS IS A ONE.
DONALD TRUMP WON EVERY GOP
PRIMARY CONTEST TUESDAY EXCEPT
FOR VERMONT.
NIKKI HALEY WATCHED THE WITH
HER STAFF IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND
MADE NO PUBLIC REMARKS.
TRUMP CELEBRATED HIS BIG
VICTORIES IN FLORIDA.
HE'S HE'S NEVER BEEN ANYTHING
SO CONCLUSIVE.
THIS WAS AN AMAZING AN AMAZING
NIGHT, AN AMAZING DAY.
IT'S BEEN AN INCREDIBLE PERIOD
OF TIME IN OUR COUNTRY'S
HISTORY.
IT'S BEEN SAID IN MANY WAYS BUT
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE
INSPIRING BECAUSE WE'RE GOING
SOMETHING THAT FRANKLY NOBODY'S
BEEN ABLE TO DO TO DO FOR A
LONG TIME.
THIS MORNING THE HALEY
CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCED SHE'LL SPEAK
IN IN CHARLESTON AT 10 A.M..
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
REPORT SHE'S SUSPENDING HER
CAMPAIGN CBN'S CHIEF POLITICAL
ANALYST DAVID BRODY PREDICTING
THIS TUESDAY NIGHT.
BUT THIS IS NOT SUPER
TUESDAY THIS.
TUESDAY NIKKI HALEY WOULD BE
OUT OF THE RACE PROBABLY
EASTERN TOMORROW.
THAT'S THE PREDICTION HERE AND
THIS IS TOP.
BRODY SAYS THE PRIMARY
RESULTS SHOW REPUBLICAN WANT A
DO OVER A WRIT LARGE THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY BELIEVES THAT
DONALD TRUMP GOT GYPPED IN
2020.
THEY TO RECTIFY WHAT HAPPENED
AND THEY THEY ARE ON HIS SIDE.
PRESIDENT BIDEN SWEPT THE
DEMOCRATIC CONTESTS AND HIS
CAMPAIGN IS VIEWING TUESDAY AS
THE KICKOFF TO TO THE GENERAL
ELECTION WITH BIDEN SET TO RAMP
UP HIS ATTACKS TO DISTINGUISH
HIMSELF FROM HIS 2020 RIVAL.
BIDEN SAID IN A STATEMENT
TUESDAY NIGHT.
TODAY MILLIONS OF VOTERS ACROSS
COUNTRY MADE THEIR VOICES HEARD
SHOWING THAT THEY ARE READY TO
FIGHT DONALD TRUMP'S EXTREME
PLAN TO TAKE US BACKWARDS.
DESPITE DOMINATING THEIR
PARTY'S PRIMARIES, MANY
AMERICANS ARE UNENTHUSIASTIC TO
SEE THE TWO PRESIDENTS FACE
AGAIN.
I VOTED FOR OUR CURRENT
PRESIDENT BIDEN AND MOSTLY
VOTING FOR HIM BECAUSE I'M
CONCERNED STATE OF OUR
DEMOCRACY IF TRUMP IS REELECTED
WITH WITH A LIKELY TRUMP BIDEN
REMATCH IN NOVEMBER.
MAJOR WARNING SIGNS FACE
PRESIDENT BIDEN'S CAMPAIGN.
THEY INCLUDE MULTIPLE RECENT
POLLS WHICH SHOW TRUMP LEADING
IN A HEAD TO HEAD MATCHUP
AGAINST THE INCUMBENT WHO ALSO
LOST GROUND WITH YOUNG VOTERS
HISPANICS.
REPORTING FROM VIRGINIA ABIGAIL
CBN NEWS.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
IN OTHER YOU.
IN OTHER NEWS A CEASE FIRE DEAL
IS ON THE TABLE BUT HAMAS
REFUSES TO AGREE TO TO THE
TERMS.
AND FROM GRAHAM HAS THAT STORY
AND MORE FROM THE CBN NOW FROM
ANDREW.
THE U.S..
THE U.S. IS URGING HAMAS TO
TAKE THE DEAL AND FREE MORE
HOSTAGES BUT LEADER IN THE
TERROR GROUPS SAY A TEMPORARY
CEASE FIRE DOES NOT GO FAR WITH
THE ISLAMIC HOLY MONTH OF
RAMADAN FAST APPROACHING.
RUNNING OUT FOR AN AGREEMENT.
PAUL STRAND REPORTS NOW FROM
JERUSALEM AS THE WAR IN GAZA
CONTINUES.
NEGOTIATORS IN EGYPT HAVE YET
TO ACHIEVE A BREAKTHROUGH WITH
HAMAS FOR A CEASE FIRE.
PRESIDENT BIDEN SAYS ISRAEL HAS
DONE ITS PART AND NOW IT'S UP
TO THE TERROR GROUP TO REACH AN
AGREEMENT.
THE HOSTAGE DEAL IS IN THE
HANDS OF HAMAS NOW BECAUSE IT
DIDN'T OFFER A RATIONAL OFFER.
ISRAELIS HAVE AGREED TO IT.
HAMAS LEADERS REJECT THE IDEA
OF A TEMPORARY CEASE FIRE,
CALLING IT A TRICK BY AMERICA
AND ISRAEL TO LET THE JEWISH
NATION JUST KEEP ON KILLING
PALESTINIANS IN GAZA.
I THINK IT'S A POLITICAL
FARCE FOR THE AMERICAN
ADMINISTRATION SUPPORT THE
ISRAELI OPINION THAT ISRAEL HAS
THE RIGHT TO STOP FOR A FEW
WEEKS AND THEN RETURN TO THAT
KILLING.
THE U.S. COUNTERS HAMAS
COULD END THE FIGHTING TODAY.
THEY COULD IN THIS ENTIRE
CONFLICT RIGHT.
WE DON'T NEED A TEMPORARY CEASE
FIRE WOULD LAY DOWN THEIR
WEAPONS AND STOP FIGHTING AND
YOU COULD HAVE A PERMANENT
CEASE CEASE FIRE BECAUSE ISRAEL
WOULD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED ITS
MILITARY OBJECTIVES WITH
RESPECT TO THE TEMPORARY CEASE
FIRE THAT TRYING TO ACHIEVE.
WE VERY MUCH VERY MUCH THINK
THAT AN AGREEMENT IS REACHABLE.
THE ISLAMIC HOLY MONTH
RAMADAN, THE UNOFFICIAL
DEADLINE FOR AN AGREEMENT
BEGINS IN A AND HAS OFTEN BEEN
A TIME OF INCREASED MUSLIM
VIOLENCE.
HAMAS, IRAN AND ITS OTHER
PROXIES IN THE REGION ARE
OPENLY FOR MORE MORE OCTOBER
SEVEN STYLE ATTACKS.
BUT THIS TIME IN JERUSALEM AND
ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
THERE'S GOT TO BE A CEASE
FIRE BECAUSE RAMADAN IF WE GET
INTO A CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE THIS
CONTINUES RAMADAN IN ISRAEL AND
JERUSALEM THEN COULD BE VERY
DANGEROUS.
FOR INSTANCE, TURKEY'S
PRESIDENT IS WARNING WARNING
ISRAEL NOT TO RESTRICT ACCESS
TO THE TEMPLE MOUNT FOR MUSLIMS
DURING RAMADAN IT WILL FACE
REAL TROUBLE.
THE CONSEQUENCES OF TAKING SUCH
SUCH A STEP WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE
VERY SEVERE.
ISRAEL'S PRIME MINISTER IS
THE WORLD THAT HIS NATION WILL
PROTECT RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
WE EVERYTHING TO PRESERVE THE
FREEDOM OF WORSHIP ON THE
TEMPLE MOUNT.
ISRAEL'S POLICY HAS ALWAYS BEEN
AND ALWAYS WILL BE TO FREEDOM
OF WORSHIP FOR ALL RELIGIONS.
MEANWHILE, AS IRAN'S HEZBOLLAH
STARTS FIRING MANY MORE
MISSILES INTO NORTHERN ISRAEL
ISRAEL, THE JEWISH NATION'S
DEFENSE MINISTER WARNS THAT
HEZBOLLAH'S INCREASED
AGGRESSION AGGRESSION IS QUOTE
DRAGGING THE PARTIES TO A
DANGEROUS ESCALATION.
THE U.S. IS TRYING TO WORK OUT
A PEACE DEAL BETWEEN ISRAEL AND
HEZBOLLAH.
AND SOME ISRAELIS WARN AMERICA
MUST SUCCEED OR FIGHTING COULD
SPIRAL OUT OF.
THE US WANTS TO AVOID A
REGIONAL AND MAYBE WAR.
IT NEEDS TO SHOW LEADERSHIP AND
THEY DETER IRAN AND HEZBOLLAH.
AS FOR HAMAS A NEW U.N.
REPORT ACCEPTS CHARGES THE
TERROR GROUP COMMITTED RAPE AND
SEXUAL VIOLENCE OCTOBER 7TH.
.
THE REPORT TOOK FIVE MONTHS BUT
ISRAELIS ARE GRATIFIED THE
TRUCE FINALLY BEEN
ACKNOWLEDGED.
AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
THE BIG WIDE WORLD IS SEEING
THAT THIS IS A FACT.
A HORRIFIC FACT.
PAUL STRAND, CBN NEWS,
JERUSALEM WANT TO TURN NOW TO
THE TEXAS PANHANDLE WHERE
WILDFIRES ARE STILL BURNING
INCLUDING THE LARGEST STATE'S
HISTORY.
THE FLAMES HAVE CONSUMED 500
STRUCTURES AND CATTLE RANCHERS
HAVE BEEN HIT HARD POSSIBLY
LOSING THOUSANDS FROM THEIR
HERDS.
AS WENDY GRIFFITH SHOWS US,
CBN'S OPERATION BLESSING IS ON
HAND HELPING TO MEET BASIC
NEEDS.
IN THE TEXAS PANHANDLE,
BLAZE IS ONLY 15% CONTAINED.
THE THE SMOKEHOUSE CREEK FIRE
WHICH SO FAR HAS CLAIMED TWO
LIVES AND DESTROYED DOZENS OF
HOMES AND BUILDINGS IS THE FIRE
IN THE STATE'S HISTORY NEARLY
1.3 MILLION ACRES?
MANY RESIDENTS HAD TO FLEE
FOR THEIR LIVES.
I HAD TO LEAVE AND THEN I
HAD TO
GET OUT OF THERE.
I WAS GOING TO DIE.
SATELLITE IMAGES CAPTURING
THE BILLOWS OF SMOKE FROM THE
BLAZES FUELED BY HIGH WINDS AND
DRY CONDITIONS.
THE FIRES SO FAST RANCHERS HAD
LITTLE TIME TO GET THEIR CATTLE
TO SAFETY.
THOUSANDS OF COWS WERE KILLED.
IN SHELLY, TOWN WORKERS TASK OF
MOVING DOZENS OF DEAD ANIMALS A
LITTLE OVER 1000 COWS HERE AS
BEHIND US.
WE'RE PICKING UP BEDS TODAY.
IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE LOST BY 200
HUNDRED 50.
AND THAT'S JUST COWS.
WE WERE OUT OUT IN THE MIDDLE
OF CAVITIES AND I'VE SPENT THE
LAST 15 YEARS BUILDING THIS COW
HARD UP KNOWS IT OVERNIGHT.
BUT WE'VE BEEN VERY BLESSED,
VERY FORTUNATE THAT WAY.
WE'VE ONLY GOT TO LOSE 200,
YOU KNOW, FIRES ALSO SPREAD
THROUGH THE SMALL PANHANDLE
TOWN OF BORGER.
THIS PASTOR HAD TO HOUSE SOME
OF HIS CONGREGANTS AT THE
CHURCH.
FIRES GOT CLOSE.
THEY HAD TO ACTUALLY LIVE UP IN
OUR UP IN OUR FELLOWSHIP HALL
FOR A FEW DAYS WHILE THEY WERE
GETTING EVERYTHING STRAIGHT.
WHAT HAPPENED HAPPENED WITH
THEIR HOUSE AND EVERYTHING.
WHAT WE ORIGINALLY FELT ABOUT
IT WAS WAS THAT WE'VE GOT TO
FIND A WAY TO BE THE HANDS AND
FEET OF JESUS AND TO BE THE
CHURCH IN THIS SITUATION AND
NOT JUST COME TO CHURCH.
CBN'S OPERATION BLESSING IS
WORKING WITH SEVERAL CHURCHES
IN THE AREA TO GET BASIC NEEDS
TO PEOPLE INCLUDING FOOD AND
WATER HYGIENE KITS, EMS CARE
KITS, RAKES, CLEAN UP SUPPLIES,
CLOTHING, BATTERIES AND
EMERGENCY MEAL KITS.
PASTOR SHIELDS SAYS OPERATION

THOSE WHO.
IT MEANS A LOT TO HAVE
SUPPORT OF DIFFERENT THAT COME
LIKE OPERATION BLESSING AND
THINGS LIKE THIS TO AND SUPPORT
YOU KNOW THESE COMMUNITIES IN
THIS TIME OF OF NEED IN THIS
TIME OF DEVASTATION.
YOU COULD CALL IT I THINK
BECAUSE IT SHOWS THAT YOU KNOW
PEOPLE DO CARE AND DO WANT TO
HELP.
OFFICIALS HAVE YET TO
DETERMINE A CAUSE OF OF THE
FIRE BUT SOME RESIDENTS HAVE
FILED SUIT AGAINST A LOCAL
POWER CLAIMING DOWNED POWER
LINES PLAYED A PART.
MEANWHILE ARE HOPING RAIN IN
THE FORECAST THIS WEEK WILL
GIVE THEM THE UPPER HAND
AGAINST THE FLAMES.
WENDY GRIFFITH, CBN NEWS.
AGAIN, SIX WILDFIRES ARE
STILL BURNING.
SO MUCH HELP IS STILL NEEDED.
THANK YOU.
FROM WE TALKED LAST WEEK ABOUT
HOW THE WEATHER WAS NOT GOING
NOT GOING TO HELP AND THAT
CERTAINLY PROVED TRUE AND

CONNECTED WITH CBS NEWS ALL DAY
ACROSS OUR PLATFORMS WELL IT'S
A NEW CRAZE SWEEPING GENERATION
.
YOUNG GIRLS AND TWEENS ARE
BUYING LOTS OF EXPENSIVE.
THE TREND MIGHT SOUND HARMLESS
BUT IT HAS DOCTORS AND
PARENTING EXPERTS SOUNDING THE
ALARM.
LAURIE JOHNSON REPORTS.
NATIONWIDE SWARMS OF
PRE-TEENS FLOOD INTO HIGH END
BEAUTY STORES NAMELY SPENDING
HUNDREDS ON SOPHISTICATED
MAKEUP AND SKINCARE PRODUCTS.
OF COURSE WE HAD TO GET THE
CONCEALER AND I GOT TO RUN.
I WILL SOON BE HIGHER OUT HERE
.
TWEEN SOCIAL MEDIA
INFLUENCERS LEAD THE WAY
HASHTAG TWEEN SKINCARE GRABBING
MORE 49 MILLION VIEWS ON
TIKTOK.
THESE ARE MY DAY AND THESE
ARE MY OFTEN DEMONSTRATING
THEIR COMPLEX REGIMES PRICEY
CLAY MASKS, EYEBROW SHAPERS AND
MORE TO BE MADE FOR GROWN UPS.
I SHOULD GO BUY THIS YEAR
TEENS COSMETIC PURCHASES ROSE
BY A THIRD AND THEY BOUGHT
ALMOST PERCENT MORE SKINCARE
ITEMS.
ADULT WOMEN ARE TAKING.
WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE
EPIDEMIC OF YOUNG PRETEEN GIRLS
GOING BACK WILD RATINGS FOR US
EVERY TIME YOU GO INTO SEPHORA
NOW IT'S JUST ALL LITTLE GIRLS
.
AND IN SOME CASES PUSHING
BACK.
I DIED A LITTLE.
WHY DOES THIS ADORABLE 11 YEAR
OLD NEED MAKEUP AND THE
SKINCARE WHICH IS MORE
COMPLICATED THAN MINE?
DERMATOLOGISTS JAFFE SAYS
SOME SKINCARE PRODUCTS IN
PARTICULAR ARE NOT FOR TWEENS
AND WARNS THEY SHOULD AVOID
PRODUCTS CONTAINING HARSH
EXFOLIANTS AND ANTI-AGING
INGREDIENTS.
MANY OF THESE SKINCARE
PRODUCTS DEAL WITH ADULT ISSUES
SO AGE RELATED CHANGES
HYPERPIGMENTATION AND DULLNESS
TO THE TO THE SKIN WHICH KIDS
DON'T HAVE USING THE WRONG
PRODUCTS CAN POTENTIALLY HARM A
CHILD'S SKIN BARRIER.
WHEN BARRIER IS NOT WORKING
EFFECTIVELY WE GET THINGS LIKE
WE GET RASHES WE CAN GET
INFECTIONS.
DERMATOLOGISTS SHOULD WASH
THEIR FACE WITH A GENTLE
CLEANSER AND AND USE A
SUNSCREEN POSSIBLY ALSO A LIGHT
MOISTURIZER BUT THAT'S ABOUT
IT.
AND THESE ITEMS CAN BE VERY AT
A PHARMACY OR DISCOUNT STORE.
YOUR CHILDREN ARE GOING TO
BE DISABLED EITHER BY SOMEONE
SOMETHING CHRISTIAN PARENTING
EXPERT KELLY EVEN MORE
CONCERNING THAN THE TRENDS
PHYSICAL IMPACT IS THE
SPIRITUAL ONE.
A LOT OF TIMES SOCIAL MEDIA
HAS TAKEN ON A ROLE OF ALMOST
AN AUTHORITY WITHIN PARENT
OFTEN LOSES A LITTLE BIT OF
AUTHORITY AND THEN GOD OF
COURSE LOSES PART OF AUTHORITY.
SHE ADVISES PARENTS TO TEACH
MODERATION UNDERSTANDING THAT
THEY'RE WORTH IS NOT FOUND IN
THESE BEAUTY TREATMENTS AND
THAT THAT THEIR WORTH REALLY IS
FOUND IN JESUS CHRIST.
MAKING SURE THAT THEY ARE
TAKING CARE OF THEIR PHYSICAL
BODIES WHICH WE KNOW TEMPLES OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT AND GOD DOES
COMMAND US TO TAKE CARE OF
THEM.
SHE SAYS THE FIRST STEP
TOWARD ACHIEVING THAT BALANCE
INVOLVES MINIMIZING TIME SPENT
ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
THREE US TEENS SAY THEY'RE ON
YOUTUBE OR TIKTOK SEVERAL TIMES
A DAY AND CLOSE TO ONE IN FIVE
SAY THEY'RE ON IT CONSTANTLY.
IT'S TOO CRITICAL AT THE
TIME TO JUST, YOU KNOW, KIND OF
IGNORE IT AND WE'LL JUST LET
THIS PASS.
IT'S A TREND.
IT WILL GO AWAY BECAUSE I.
I THINK IT MEANS MORE CHILD
PSYCHOLOGIST CAROLYN RUBENSTEIN
SAYS THE PRE-TEEN YEARS ARE
PIVOTAL BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN
KIDS ARE EASILY INFLUENCED TO
ADOPT VALUES THEY CAN HOLD ONTO
THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
THIS TWEEN PERIOD WHERE
THEY'RE DEVELOPING WHO THEY ARE
AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS THAT
THE INFLUENCE IS BECOMING MUCH
MUCH BIGGER FROM ONLINE SOCIAL
MEDIA AND THESE PARASOCIAL
RELATIONSHIPS WITH INFLUENCERS.
OF COURSE GIRLS HAVE ALWAYS
DABBLED WITH THE CONCEPT OF
BEAUTY AS THEY THINK ABOUT WHAT
IT MEANS TO BE A WOMAN.
TODAY'S IS MORE EXTREME AND
POTENTIALLY HARMFUL BECAUSE OF
THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA.
LORI JOHNSTON CBN NEWS AND
LOOKED AT WHILE IS AN
INTERESTING STORY I MYSELF
FREQUENT AND THERE ARE AN
INFLUX OF TWEENS RUN INTO THIS.
I HAVE SEEN TWEENS YES END
TO END SUPPORT
TREND AND I THINK LOTS OF
PEOPLE ARE OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE
IT'S GOTTEN SO WIDESPREAD.
BUT I THINK OBVIOUSLY I THINK
WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND IS WHEN
YOU ARE A TWEEN RIGHT.
A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE ABOUT
TO HAPPEN HORMONALLY ESPECIALLY
FOR GIRLS WHEN YOU'RE USING
HARSH CHEMICALS, SOME OF THOSE
OF THOSE CHEMICALS ARE HORMONE
DISRUPTORS.
SO THEN YOU'RE AFFECTING A TEEN
OR TWEENS YOU KNOW, YEARS OF
HORMONAL CHANGES AND AND IT'S
JUST ULTIMATELY LIKE LOOK
GIRLS, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL THE
WAY YOU ARE.
IT'S JUST INTERESTING BECAUSE
OBVIOUSLY THIS IS REALLY YOU
KNOW, IT'S BEING PUT ON THESE
TWEENS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA
LIKE THEY HAVE TO GET THESE
PRODUCTS IN ORDER BE PRETTY OR
ALL THAT STUFF AND IT'S LIKE
THE FURTHEST THING FROM THE
TRUTH.
BUT WHAT IS AS A DAD?
I KIND OF HEARD ABOUT THIS
AROUND THE KITCHEN KITCHEN
TABLE EXCUSE ME A LITTLE BIT
AND MY DAUGHTER WAS TALKING
ABOUT IT WITH MY WIFE A LITTLE
BIT AND MY DAUGHTER WAS
MENTIONING HOW A LOT OF THESE
GIRLS SEEM KIND OF MEAN AND
THESE MEAN I DON'T KNOW IF
PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE
MAYBE THAT'S THE REALIZATION
TIME YOU HAVE NINE, TEN, 11
YEAR OLD GIRLS WITH THESE HUGE
PLATFORMS.
YOU THINK ABOUT THE
VULNERABILITY OF THEIR LIVES
NOW EVERYBODY'S LIKE AN EXPERT
AND THEY'RE USING ANTI-AGING
CREAMS AT 910.
YEAH, IT'S LIKE EXACTLY HOW
ARE THEY AFFORDING IT IS
ANOTHER THING OBVIOUSLY, YOU
KNOW, PARENTS ARE FACILITATING
THE PURCHASES.
PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO SAY NO.
PARENTS NEED NEED TO STEP IT
UP.
I MEAN WE GOT TO GET IN THE
GAME, SEE WHAT OUR KIDS ARE AND
THEY'RE JUST IT'S PATHETIC.
YOU SEE LIKE HOW THE SOCIAL
MEDIA I DON'T WANT TO SOUND
LIKE AN OLD OLD CRANKY GUY BUT
WE'VE REALLY GOT TO PROTECT OUR
KIDS FROM FROM THEM.
CRANKY YEAH, YEAH.
FIRST PETER SAYS BEAUTY IS
FOUND WITHIN SPIRIT THAT
THERE'S SO MUCH WORTH AND BUT
THESE THESE NINE YEAR OLD GIRLS
ARE BEING INFLUENCED BY OTHERS
AND THE PATTERN IS GOING TO
CONTINUE.
WE'VE GOT TO GET IN OUR KIDS
LIVES AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE
VIEWING.
I THINK IT'S, YOU KNOW, A
PARENT'S RESPONSE ABILITY TO
SAFEGUARD YOUR KIDS LIKE YOU
JUST SAID, PAY ATTENTION TO
WHAT THEY'RE WATCHING.
YOU KNOW, SHOULD THEY EVEN BE
ALLOWED TO HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA UP
UNTIL CERTAIN AGE?
I KNOW A LOT OF PARENTS ARE
LIKE LOOK, YOU'RE NOT GETTING
SOCIAL MEDIA UNTIL 1718 YEARS
OLD.
SO ANYWAYS, I IMPORTANT FOR
PARENTS TO SAFEGUARD YOUR KIDS
HEARTS, YOUR YOUNG GIRLS AND
YOUNG GIRLS IF YOU'RE WATCHING
LOOK THOSE THOSE THINGS ARE
HARMFUL.
IT CAN ACTUALLY DO MORE DAMAGE
TO YOUR SKIN THAN.
GAVE YOU THE NUMBER.
JOSHUA WORKING IN A
RESTAURANT WHEN TWO YOUNG WOMEN
APPROACHED HIM WITH A
PROPOSITION.
SOON THE ASPIRING ACTOR WAS
TOLD HE COULD BE RICH AND
FAMOUS.
THE ONLY CATCH HE WOULD HAVE TO
BECOME AN ADULT STAR.
FOR SIX LONG YEARS JOSHUA
BRAHAM HAD A SUCCESSFUL CAREER
IN THE ADULT FILM INDUSTRY.
HE TRAVELED THE WORLD ACHIEVING
FAME AND FORTUNE.
YET ON THE INSIDE HE FELT
EMPTY HOPELESS AND TRAPPED.
AFTER HITTING ROCK BOTTOM HE
LEFT THE BUSINESS BEHIND AND IN
TIME EMBRACED HIS TRUE IDENTITY
IN CHRIST.
JOSHUA SHARES HIS JOURNEY
OUT OF PORNOGRAPHY AND EXPOSES
SOME OF THE MOST DANGEROUS
MISTRUTHS OF OUR CULTURE.
IN HIS HIS BOOK SEVEN LIES THAT
WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE.
ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE WILL
PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO THE 700
CLUB JOSHUA BROOM.
JOSH, SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU WITH
US AGAIN TO BE HERE.
YES.
I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK.
SEVEN LIES THAT WILL RUIN YOUR
LIFE WHAT MY JOURNEY FROM PORN
PORN STARTER PREACHER TAUGHT ME
ABOUT THE TRUTH THAT SETS US
FREE.
LET'S BACK TO 2006.
YOU WERE IN A RESTAURANT.
TWO WOMEN APPROACHED TO YOU.
CAN YOU JUST TELL US HOW DID
YOU EVEN GET INTO.
YEAH.
SO MY JOURNEY INTO THE INDUSTRY
WAS WAS UNIQUE IN THAT IT BACK
IN THAT DAY IT WAS PRETTY
GUARDED SO IT WAS HARD FOR A
GUY TO GET IN THE INDUSTRY SO
THE WAY GOT IN PRETTY UNIQUE.
BUT LONG STORY SHORT I TO DO
MODELING AND ACTING I WAS DOING
THAT BUT AT THE AT THE SAME
TIME.
THE INADEQUACY THAT I FELT IN
MY OWN LIFE CAUSED DOING WHAT
MANY PEOPLE DO.
I LOOK TO MY LEFT AND MY RIGHT
AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS MY
SUCCESS DIDN'T MEASURE UP TO
THOSE AROUND ME AND THEN I WAS
OFFERED A AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE
IN THAT INDUSTRY AND I WAS
EXPOSED TO PORNOGRAPHY WHEN I
WAS 13 I WAS LIVING PROMISCUOUS
LIFESTYLE SO MANY MANY THE
CHOICES THAT I HAD MADE LEADING
UP TO THAT MOMENT CAUSED IT TO
EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T SOMETHING
I WANTED IT SEEMED LIKE IT
WASN'T THAT BIG OF A DEAL.
YEAH, WELL FAST FORWARD SIX
YEARS YOU'RE IN THE.
THERE WAS A MOMENT IN A BANK
THAT YOU TALK ABOUT IN THE BOOK
AND I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO
SHARE BECAUSE THAT THAT MOMENT
WAS REALLY INTEGRAL AND JUST
TRUE IN THE TRAJECTORY OF YOUR
LIFE JUST MAKING CHANGES.
SO TELL US ABOUT THAT
MOMENT.
YEAH, I MEAN THERE WERE STAGES
OF MY LIFE WHERE I GREW UP IN A
SINGLE PARENT HOME AND AND MY
MOM WAS EVERYTHING TO ME.
SO MY IDENTITY WAS I MY
MOTHER'S SON, YOU KNOW?
SO THAT'S WHO I WAS.
THAT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING.
LOOK AT MY MOM.
AND THEN THERE WAS A STAGE IN
MY LIFE WHERE OKAY, I
INADEQUATE AND I NOW I HAD DONE
BAD THINGS BUT NOW I WAS A BAD
PERSON IN MY SINS WERE TANGIBLY
FOUND FOR EVERYONE TO SEE SO
THAT THAT BECAME MY IDENTITY
AND TO THE POINT WHERE I PUSHED
EVERYONE AWAY AND THERE WAS NO
ONE IN MY LIFE THAT WAS
SPEAKING TRUTH INTO MY LIFE I
JUST HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE
PATTING ME ON MY BACK ON MY WAY
YOU KNOW, TO DESTRUCTION AND SO
NO ONE WAS CALLING ME JOSHUA.
I WAS JUST GOING BY THE STAGE
NAME EVERYONE BARBER EVERYWHERE
AND I WALK INTO A BANK AND ON
THIS DAY I WAS PLANNING TO IN
MY LIFE AND I WANTED THE YOU
KNOW REALLY PERSON THAT THE
BANK THE BANK TELLER TO JUSTIFY
WHAT I WAS GOING TO I SLID A
CHECK ACROSS THE COUNTER AND I
EXPECTED HER TO BE BE DISGUSTED
WITH ME OR NOD WITH ME AND
INSTEAD SHE SAID JOSHUA ARE YOU
OKAY?
AND WHAT I LOVE LIKE LOOKING
BACK MY MY NAME SALVATION.
OH MY GOD, THAT'S AMAZING.
AND AND JUST IN A REAL WAY LIKE
I THINK THE HOLY SPIRIT
PROMPTED HER THEN THE HOLY
SPIRIT DID SOMETHING IN ME AND
YOU KNOW THAT CONVICTION CAME
TO THE SURFACE TO ME NOT TAKING
MY LIFE AND I RAN FOR MY LIFE.
WELL, WE WELL, WE ALSO HAVE
TO SHARE WITH THE AUDIENCE TOO
LIKE THE CHECK ON THE MEMO LINE
WAS WAS THE NAME OF THE
WEBSITE.
YEAH.
AND SO SHE WAS ABLE TO
RECOGNIZE WHAT THE WHERE THE
MONEY CAME FROM I GUESS.
SO HOW DID THAT I MEAN HOW
DID THAT MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE.
YEAH I MEAN HISTORICALLY I
WOULD, I WOULD NOT GO INTO THE
BANK YOU KNOW TO HAND THE CHECK
WOULD DO ATM YOU KNOW DROP BOX
MOBILE DEPOSIT.
BUT ON THIS DAY I WAS BEING
MASOCHISTIC ON PURPOSE HER TO
VALIDATE THE FEELINGS THAT I
HAD TO JUSTIFY THE ACTIONS TAKE
INSTEAD THE HOLY SPIRIT DID
SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
AND SPOKE MY NAME SPOKE MY TRUE
IDENTITY INTO, THE EXISTENCE OF
THAT MOMENT AND IT SHATTERED
THE PLAUSIBLE REALITY CREATED
BY GUILT AND SHAME.
YES.
SO OKAY, FAST FORWARD HOW DID
YOU END UP GETTING OUT OF THE
INDUSTRY AND BECOMING AGAIN
CHRISTIAN?
SO MY FAVORITE STORY SO A
LONG STORY REALLY SHORT.
YEAH.
I SPENT TWO YEARS TRYING TO PUT
ENOUGH DIRT ON I TRY TO PUT
ENOUGH DIRT ON MY BAD DIRT SO I
DIDN'T FEEL DIRTY RIGHT?
I TRIED TO DO ENOUGH GOOD
THINGS I DID BAD THINGS THAT
I'D DONE WORKING IN THE HEALTH
AND FITNESS SPACE AND.
THEN I MET THIS GIRL AND WE
WENT ON A WALK AND I FELT MAN I
JUST CAN'T LIE TO HER AND
ALMOST HEARING MY MOM'S VOICE
DON'T YOU LIE TO THAT GIRL.
AND I DIDN'T I WAS LIKE, HEY,
HERE'S EVERY BAD THING I'VE
EVER DONE AND SHE'S LIKE, WELL
ARE YOU DOING THOSE THINGS NOW?
AND I SAID NO.
SHE'S LIKE, WELL DEFINED BY THE
WORST THING YOU'VE EVER DONE
AND AND YOU'RE NOT DEFINED BY
THE GREATEST THING YOU'LL EVER
DO.
GOD DEFINED YOU.
THERE'S A CREATOR OF ALL THINGS
ME AND YOU AND HE HAS THE FINAL
SAY IN THAT KNOW THAT CREATED
SOME CURIOSITY IN MY IN MY
SPIRIT BECAUSE BECAUSE SHE GIVE
ME BOTH GRACE AND TRUTH AND SHE
INVITED ME TO CHURCH AND I
HEARD A SERMON PREACHED ON
SACRED SAMUEL NINE THAT I
PREACH OFTEN THAT FELLOWSHIP HE
HE WAS DESERVING OF DEATH
WAS PROMISE IN BETWEEN JONATHAN
AND DAVID AND DAVID SAID HOW
CAN I SHOW THAT THE LOYAL AND
THE LOVING KINDNESS OF GOD TO
YOU I'M A FELLOWSHIP SITTING
THERE SECOND SAMUEL NINE EIGHT
SAYING I'M A DEAD DOG LIKE WHO
AM I?
AND SITTING THERE THAT MOMENT
LIKE WHO AM I THEN HEARD ROMANS
12 TWO IT WAS THAT JOY THAT SAT
BEFORE HIM THAT SENT JESUS TO
THE CROSS AND IT WAS NOT ONLY
THAT HE WAS OBEDIENT TO THE
FATHER IT WAS LOVE IN HIS HEART
FOR THE FATHER AND FOR ME.
THAT'S SO GOOD.
OH MY GOSH.
I JUST HAVE TO MENTION YOUR
WIFE'S NAME IS HOPE AND YOU
ENDED UP MARRYING HER GOT FOUR
BOYS.
SUCH AN AMAZING REDEMPTIVE
STORY.
BOOK IS CALLED SEVEN LIES THAT
WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE AND
SOMETHING I WANTED.
YOU KNOW SOME PEOPLE MIGHT BE
WATCHING AND SAY WELL, I CAN'T
EVEN RELATE TO HIS STORY RIGHT.
BUT YOU POINT OUT SOMETHING AND
I LOVE IT AND YOU SAY MOST OF
YOU PROBABLY BEEN ON THE EXACT
SAME JOURNEY I HAVE AND IN MANY
WAYS MY STORY MIGHT OR BIZARRE
BUT HERE'S THE COMMON THEME WE
ALL FACE STRUGGLES, PAIN AND
PITFALLS THAT COMMON WE CHASE
THE EMPTY PROMISES OF THE
WORLD.
YEAH YEAH CAN YOU TALK ABOUT
THAT AND HOW THAT LED YOU TO TO
THE INDUSTRY AND HOW WE CAN
PREVENT THAT FOR EVERYBODY YEAH
I MEAN THAT'S THAT'S SATAN'S
NUMBER ONE MOVE THAT GOT REALLY
SAY BECAUSE IF IF SATAN GETS
GETS CAN GET YOU TO A PLACE
WHERE YOU QUESTION GOD'S
AUTHORITY AND IN QUESTION GOD'S
WORD HE WILL TRY TO GET YOUR
TRUTH INTO THE TRUTH AND YOU'LL
MISS TRUTH AND THAT'S WHAT THE
BOOK IS ABOUT.
THERE'S SO MANY LIES THAT THAT
WE CREATE A WORLDVIEW OUT OF
THAT THAT THAT LIE IF WE
INTERJECT A LIE INTO THE WAY
THAT WE SEE OURSELVES THE WAY
THAT WE SEE GOD, THE WAY THAT
WE SEE THE WORLD WHAT WE'RE
DOING IS THE VERY THING THAT
AIR AND HIS MISFIT CREW IN
EXODUS 32 WHERE THEY CREATE A
GOLDEN CALF AND IT YAHWEH AND
JESUS MADE IN YOUR IMAGE IS NOT
JESUS AT ALL AND THAT'S WHAT WE
FIND OURSELVES DOING SO OFTEN
WE BELIEVE OKAY WELL I CAN FIX
MYSELF OR IF I HAVE ENOUGH YOU
KNOW X, Y AND Z I WILL
DIFFERENTLY OR IF I ACCOMPLISH
THIS I WILL FEEL DIFFERENTLY
EVEN IF I HAVE SEX, PORNOGRAPHY
OR WHATEVER IT IS.
THE THING THING THAT YOUR HEART
LONGS FOR MOST IS JESUS AND
UNTIL UNTIL YOU'RE IN THE
PRESENCE OF HIM AND SOAKING IN
HIM HIM AND JUST BEING
SATURATED BY HIS WORD LIKE THAT
IS IS THE THING YOUR HEART
DESIRES AND WHEN YOU ALLOW THAT
TO YOUR SPIRIT AND REALIZE
THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT
WORKS IT MAKES ALL THE SENSE IN
THE WORLD.
YES, ABSOLUTELY.
JOSH I WISH WE HAD MORE TIME.
THE LAST THING I DO WANT TO ASK
YOU THOUGH PORNOGRAPHY IS SUCH
A GIANT IN YEAH.
HOW CAN WE PRACTICALLY AS
INDIVIDUALS AS THE BIG C CHURCH
FIGHT AGAINST IT YEAH I WOULD
SAY I MEAN YOU'RE TALKING NFL
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL NBA ALL
COMBINE THAT THAT THAT'S THE
REVENUE IS MAKING 33% OF ALL
THE DATA TRANSFERRED ON THE
INTERNET ON A DAILY BASIS TWO
THOUSAND PLUS PEOPLE THAT SAY I
LOVE JESUS REACH OUT TO ME A
MONTH SAYING I LOVE JESUS BUT
I'M STRUGGLING WITH BUT HERE'S
WHAT'S TRUE THERE IS NOTHING
YOUR HEART LONGS FOR MORE THAN
JESUS AND UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT INTIMACY INTIMACY IS FOUND
IN PROXIMITY TO GOD NOTHING
ELSE WILL WORK BUT THE ENEMY IS
USING AGAIN A COUNTERFEIT TO
DRAW US CLOSE TO NOT HIM BUT TO
EVERYTHING ELSE RIGHT.
IF I CAN DISTRACT YOU FROM
GOD ANY AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS
GOING TO MAKE SENSE SO WOULD
SAY YOU'VE GOT TO CHECK
YOURSELF FOR YOUR REGULAR KNOW
YOU HAVE TO SAY OKAY WHAT AM I
ALLOWING INTO MY LIFE?
WHAT SAFEGUARDS AM I
IMPLEMENTING IN MY MIND?
THAT'S WHY I LIKE COVENANT
EYES FOR EXAMPLE SO IMPORTANT
LIKE YOU I HAD YOUR FREE MONTH
ON ME RIGHT?

HARDSHIP AFTER A TRUCK DRIVER
LOST CONTROL CRASHING A BIG RIG
INTO HIS CHURCH BUILDING.
THE PASTOR OF A GLACIER
PENTECOSTAL WAS AT HIS HOME
ONLY AWAY WHEN HE HEARD THE
COMMOTION.
HE RUSHED TO THE SCENE AND
HELPED DRIVER FROM THE TRUCK
WHILE HEARTBROKEN BY THE SCENE
OF DESTRUCTION, PASTOR OFFERED
FORGIVENESS TO THE DRIVER WHO
HAD JUST JUST JUST DESTROYED
THE CHURCH BUILDING.
A NEARBY CHURCH OPENED UP ITS
BUILDING FOR THE THE DEVASTATED
CONGREGATION.

CHURCH IS DEEMED UNSAFE.
THE PASTOR OF THE DAMAGED
CHURCH BUILDING SAYS HE KNOWS

ANDREW AND ASHLEY ARE BACK WITH
MORE OF TODAY'S 700 CLUB.
IT'S COMING UP RIGHT AFTER
STEPS PER HOUR.
THE STEP THE SPORT MAT AND
WIRELESS REMOTE ALL NOW GRANGER
SMITH WAS ENJOYING HIS CAREER
AS A COUNTRY MUSIC ARTIST.
HE ALSO HAD A HAPPY HOME LIFE
WITH HIS WIFE AMBER AND THEIR
CHILDREN.
AND THEN IN ONE TRAGIC INSTANT
EVERYTHING CHANGED WAS LEFT
WITH AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE THAT
BECAME HIS REALITY EVERY DAY
EVERYTHING HAD CRUMBLED IN THAT
VERY AND I WAS DESTROYED.
I REACHED IN THE DRAWER LOOKING
FOR FOR THE ONE THING THAT
COULD HELP.
THIS IS THE WAY TO PEACE
JUST.
SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER IN
ACCLAIMED COUNTRY MUSIC ARTIST
GRANGER SMITH WAS WAS ON TOP OF
THE WORLD AND SOLD OUT SHOWS A
LOVING FAMILY AT HOME IT WAS
ALL GOING SO WELL
FATEFUL DAY I WAS IN THE
BACKYARD WITH THE THREE KIDS
JUST KIND OF ENJOYING THE LAST
FEW MOMENTS BEFORE I HEADED OFF
TO TOUR I WAS PLAYING
GYMNASTICS WITH MY DAUGHTER AND
THAT BOYS WERE PLAYING.
THE NEXT STOP WAS IT'S QUIET
WHERE'S RIVER TURNED OVER MY
LEFT SHOULDER AND THERE HE WAS
IN OUR POOL IN THE GATED LOCKED
POOL IN THE MIDDLE FLOATING
DOWN.
I FLIPPED HIM OVER AND HE WAS
LIKE A I PANICKED.
I TOOK HIM TO THE SIDE, STARTED
CPR HOW TO DO THAT BESIDES WHAT
I'D SEEN IN MOVIES IT WAS WAS A
AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE.
GRANGER AND HIS WIFE AMBER
DID THEIR BEST TO REVIVE RIVER
UNTIL PARAMEDICS GOT TO HIM BUT
IT WAS TOO LATE.
THEIR THREE YEAR OLD SON PASSED
AWAY AT THE HOSPITAL.
I FAILED AT THE ONE THING A
FATHER SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO
KEEP THEIR SON ALIVE.
I FAILED AT THAT FEELING THE
GUILT AND SHAME FROM THAT I
REALIZED THAT I NEEDED TO BE
THE ROCK FOR MY FAMILY THAT
ENDED UP QUICKLY TURNING INTO I
GOT TO GO BACK.
HOWEVER, GRANGER SOON LEARNED
THAT HIS PAIN HE COULD SIMPLY
WORK THROUGH.
I HAD THIS I CALL IT THE
SLIDE SHOW.
I HAD THIS THESE VISIONS THAT
WOULD POP POP INTO MY HEAD AT
ANY MOMENT IT'S RIVER IN THE
POOL.
IT'S THE IT'S AMBULANCE IS
SCREAMING DOWN THAT COUNTY ROAD
IT'S THE DOCTOR WALKING IN
SAYING HE'S IT AND I COULDN'T
GET THAT SLIDE SHOW OUT OF MY
HEAD IT.
IT WOULD ME ABSOLUTELY ME.
I FELT LIKE I WAS DROWNING.
GRANGER TRIED EVERYTHING TO
STOP THE SLIDE SHOW THERAPY,
SELF-HELP BOOKS, MEDITATION.
HE GREW UP IN A CHRISTIAN SO HE
BEGAN READING BIBLE DEVOTIONALS
BUT THE VISIONS KEPT PLAYING.
THEN A FRIEND SUGGESTED GRANGER
START VAPING MARIJUANA TO HELP
CALM HIS WHICH WORKED FOR A
WHILE BUT IT ALL CAME TO A HEAD
ONE NIGHT ON TOUR IN IDAHO SIX
MONTHS AFTER LOSING RIVER RIVER
GRANGER'S BAND HAD JUST
FINISHED TWO BACK TO BACK SOLD
OUT SHOWS AND THEY WANTED TO
CELEBRATE AT A NEARBY BAR GO TO
THE BUS.
THAT'S WHEN IT HIT ME WHEN I
SAW THE BACK OF THE BUS WHEN I
THOUGHT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
I'VE BEEN DRUNK SINCE IT ALL
WENT DOWN.
THEN AS SOON AS I STARTED
THINKING THAT THE SLIDESHOW
POPPED IT STARTED SOBBING I WAS
SHAKING, PULLED OUT MY GUN, PUT
THE GUN UP TO MY HEAD.
THAT'S WHEN I HAD THOUGHT IT
WAS OUTSIDE CONSCIOUSNESS THE
BEST WAY I COULD DESCRIBE IT
BUT THE THOUGHT WAS THIS IS THE
WAY TO REST.
I RECOGNIZED THAT THERE WAS AN
ENEMY SPEAKING TO ME.
I SAID JESUS, SAVE ME PLEASE
SAVE ME.
AND THE SLIDESHOW STOPPED.
I DROPPED THE GUN ON ON TO THE
BEFORE AND FELL ASLEEP IN PEACE
.
THAT NEXT MORNING WAS DAY ONE
OF A NEW JOURNEY A NEW JOURNEY
FOR ME WHO IS JESUS?
WHO IS HE REALLY NOT THIS NOT
THE ONE THAT I TALKED ABOUT IN
SUNDAY AND NOT NOT THE ONE THAT
I CLAIMED AS A CULTURAL
CHRISTIAN WHO IS THE POWER OF
THIS MAN OF THIS NAME GRANGER
LOOKED ONLINE FOR THE ONE
PREACHER WHOSE NAME HE KNEW OFF
THE TOP OF HIS HEAD BILLY
GRAHAM.
HE LISTENED TO MORE THAN
HUNDRED OF GRAHAM'S SERMONS
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS.
I LOVED IT.
IT WAS WATERING THAT SEED IN ME
THEN IT ALL CAME TOGETHER.
I WAS DRIVING IN A TRUCK.
I WAS JUST RANDOMLY GOING THIS
SERMON HE WAS SPEAKING TO JOHN
14 IF ANYONE LOVES ME HE WILL
KEEP MY WORD AND MY FATHER WILL
LOVE AND WE WILL COME TO HIM
AND MAKE OUR HOME WITH HIM.
MY EYES WERE OPENED.
THE FIRST REACTION THROUGH THE
TEARS WAS LORD JESUS RULE TAKE
CONTROL I GIVE EVERYTHING TO
YOU YOU I SURRENDER I TURN FROM
MY SIN LET ME SERVE YOU YOU
EVERYTHING ELSE IS RUBBISH I
STARTED LEARNING WHO HE IS THE
THE ONE THAT SAVED ME I LEARNED
WHO HE IS THROUGH HIS WORD
THROUGH ABSORBING HIS
SCRIPTURES JUST POURING THEM ON
ME AND IT STARTED STARTED
CHANGING ME.
ON AUGUST 26TH, THREE,
GRANGER PERFORMED HIS FINAL
SHOW LEAVING HIS 24 YEARS IN
MUSIC BEHIND TO FOCUS ON
STUDYING AND SHARING THE LOVE
OF JESUS WITH ALL THOSE WHO
LISTEN.
HIS FAMILY WAS ALSO BLESSED
WITH ANOTHER CHILD MAVERICK AND
HE RECENTLY WROTE A BOOK LIKE A
RIVER HOPING TO COMFORT OTHERS
THROUGH HIS STORY OF LOSS AND
REDEMPTION.
GRANGER SAYS HE FOUND A NEW
PURPOSE IN CHRIST IN HIM WE CAN
ALL FIND HEALING I DIDN'T NEED
THE WHEAT PENS.
I DIDN'T NEED THE
MEDITATIONS.
NOW I KNEW WHAT WOULD SAVE ME
AND IT WASN'T IN MYSELF.
IT WAS CHRIST IN THE SLIDESHOW.
IT DIDN'T STOP BUT ITS STING.
I FELT PEACE, I FELT JOY I FELT
REST IN THE SURRENDER PRAISE ME
TO GOD THAT HE BROKE ME THAT HE
COMPLETELY ME DOWN TO NOTHING
SO THAT I COULD RELY ON NOTHING
BUT HIM PRAISE GOD THAT HE DID
THAT I CAN'T TAKE CREDIT FOR IT
.
I MISSED THAT BOY BUT I KNOW
I'LL SEE HIM AGAIN.
THAT'S THE NEW FEELING NOW
THAT'S THE GRIEVING WITH HOPE
CHRISTIANS ARE PROMISED WHAT A
TESTIMONY AND GRANGER WILL LONG
SON HIS WHOLE LIFE.
HE'LL MOURN HIS SON AND MISS
HIM FOR HIS WHOLE HIS WHOLE
LIFE BUT HE HAS FOUND HEALING
AND HOPE IN THE TRUTH IN THE
POWER OF GOD.
LISTEN, I THINK THE KEY MOMENT
WAS WHEN HE WAS AT MOST
HOPELESS GOING TO END HIS LIFE.
HE WAS DISCERNING AND HE SAID I
DETECT MY ENEMY LYING TO ME AND
THAT WAS KEY BECAUSE OUR
ENEMIES SATAN HE MASQUERADE AS
AN ANGEL OF LIGHT HE'S THE
FATHER OF LIES.
SCRIPTURE SAYS WHEN HE SPEAKS
HE'S LYING AND THAT'S HIS
NATIVE LANGUAGE HE PROWLS LIKE
SEEKING TO DEVOUR TO KILL STEEL
.
BUT JESUS HAS COME THAT WE HAVE
LIFE AND ABUNDANT LIFE AND HOPE
AND I'M GOING TO URGE YOU TODAY
DISCERN THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD
TO YOU A MESSAGE OF HOPE AND
LOVE IN JESUS YOUR GRIEF AND
SORROW EVEN IN PAIN THE POWER
CAN INFILTRATE YOUR LIFE WITH
HOPE IF YOU.

HIS TRUTH GIVE US A CALL AT ONE

PARENTS WERE FORCED TO WATCH
THEIR HE WAS IN CONSTANT PAIN
FROM A GROWING HERNIA SEEMED
IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THEIR FAMILY
COULD NEVER AFFORD AFFORD IT.
BUT HERE'S HOW YOU MADE THE
IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE.
FIVE YEAR OLD JOE SWAY LIVES
WITH HIS PARENTS AND BIG SISTER
IN HONDURAS, WAS BORN WITH A
HERNIA THAT ONLY GOT LARGER AND
MORE PAINFUL AS HE GREW.
SOME DAYS WAS IN CONSTANT
PAIN.
WE TOOK HIM TO THE E.R., SAID
THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING
BECAUSE IT WAS NOT AN EMERGENCY
AND SAID THEY WERE DESPERATE
TO HELP THEIR SON ESPECIALLY
MEDICINE STOPPED WORKING.
I FELT A PAIN IN MY HEART.
I WANTED TO FIX HIM OR PAY FOR
SURGERY BUT BUT FOR US IT WAS
IMPOSSIBLE.
WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO
AFFORD THE COST OF AN OPERATION
SINCE WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY.
SO OPERATION BLESSING PAID
FOR HIS WAY TO RECEIVE FREE
SURGERY THE HERNIA.
NOW HE IS HAPPY ALL THE TIME
AND ABLE TO RUN AND PLAY
WITHOUT PAIN.

LIKE IT WAS ON FIRE THAT'S HOW
JAMIE CAIN FELT FOR TWO YEARS.

BUT HE COULDN'T.
HE COULDN'T CURE HER.
SO JAMIE'S MOM HAD AN IDEA AND
HER IDEA LED TO JAMIE'S JAMIE'S
100 PERCENT HEALING.
JAMIE CAIN AND HER HUSBAND
JIM COULDN'T IMAGINE SPOILING
THEIR LOVE FOR THE OUTDOORS.
THAT IS UNTIL THE SUMMER OF
2020 WHEN JAMIE DEVELOPED
PAINFUL CYSTS UNDER.
HER ARMS.
YES.
THIS INTENSE ITCHING.
IT WAS VERY MY SKIN WAS SO
INFLAMED AND RED AND THEN THEN
I HAVE THIS CYST LIKE BUMPS
UNDER MY ARMS AND IT HONESTLY
FELT LIKE IT WAS ON FIRE.
JAMIE HAD BEEN DEALING WITH
A UNDER HER ARMS FOR YEARS
CAUSED BY THE DEODORANTS SHE GO
AWAY AND THEY'D COME BACK AND
GO AWAY AND COME BACK AND THIS
HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN
ONGOING.
HUSBAND JIM, A FAMILY
PHYSICIAN, DIAGNOSED THE RASH
AS AS CONTACT DERMATITIS.
IT'S AN ALLERGIC RASH DUE TO
A SENSITIVE USUALLY SOMETHING
TOPICAL OR LIKE A SOAP OR A OR
A DETERGENT.
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS
JAMIE TRIED DIFFERENT
DEODORANTS BUT THEY ALWAYS
CAUSED A FLARE UP.
IN FACT THE WAS GETTING WORSE.
THEN IN 2020 AFTER USING A
NATURAL NEW DEODORANT I HAD
DEVELOPED THESE LITTLE CYSTS
UNDER MY ARMS.
THEY WERE VERY PAINFUL.
THEY WERE SPREADING.
THEY WERE JUST REALLY
EMBARRASSING.
JAMIE STOPPED USING THE
DEODORANT BUT THIS TIME THE
RASH AND CYSTS DIDN'T GO AWAY
SO SHE TRIED SEVERAL WAYS THE
ISSUE OR AT LEAST TO MAKE IT
MORE BEARABLE.
WE TRIED CREAMS, STEROID
SHOTS, PREDNISONE I TRIED ALL
SORTS OF NATURAL REMEDIES AS AS
WELL AND NOTHING WAS HELPING
IT.
EMOTIONALLY I WAS VERY VERY
FRUSTRATED.
I WAS ANNOYED AND BIT DEPRESSED
ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I DIDN'T
KNOW HOW LONG I WOULD HAVE THIS
IF THIS WOULD EVER TRULY GO
AWAY.
YOU KNOW, GETTING QUITE
CONCERNED.
I HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL LIFE THAT
WANT TO SEE HER SUFFER
OBVIOUSLY AND I COULD SEE SHE'S
VERY.
JAMIE TOLD HER MOTHER, A
RETIRED NURSE ABOUT HER, HER
CONDITION.
SHE TOLD HER DAUGHTER TO PRAY.
SHE ALSO THE STORY OF HOW SHE
WAS HEALED ONE DAY WHILE
WATCHING THE 700 CLUB.
MY MOM HAD SAID THAT SHE HAD
GOTTEN THE WORD AND KNOWLEDGE
ON HER RIGHT KNEE AND AND SHE
HADN'T HAD ANY PAIN SINCE THEN
SO SHE ENCOURAGED ME TO TUNE IN
TO THE 700 CLUB AND YOU KNOW,
PERHAPS COULD GET A WORD
KNOWLEDGE YOU KNOW AS WELL.
TAKING HER MOM'S JAMIE BEGAN TO
PRAY FOR HEALING.
FATHER FATHER, I KNOW THIS
IS NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL.
I KNOW IT'S NOT TERMINAL BUT
WOULD YOU PLEASE HEAL THIS THIS
?
EVERY DAY SHE PRAYED AND
WATCHED THE 700 CLUB.
OF 2020 TARA MUSE AND GORDON
ROBERTSON WERE PRAYING FOR THE
NEEDS OF THE AUDIENCE.
SOMEONE ELSE YOU HAVE A
PAINFUL LUMP UNDER UNDER YOUR
RIGHT ARM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT
IT.
I'M LARGE ENOUGH FOR TO EASILY
FEEL GOD IS HEALING THAT FOR
YOU RIGHT NOW IT'S TO DISSOLVE
AND BE GONE IN JESUS NAME.
I WAS THINKING WILL GOT TO BE
FOR ME AND YOU KNOW I WILL
DEFINITELY CLIMB THIS.
THIS MEANS THAT THIS IS
GOING TO BE RESOLVED ONCE AND
FOR ALL JUST A FEW DAYS IT
DISAPPEARED NOT SPECK OF
ANYTHING LEFT.
NOT ANYTHING.
NO REDNESS, NO NOTHING UNDER MY
ARMS.
ALL THE SISTERS WERE GONE 100%
GONE.
I TOLD MY HUSBAND I WAS LIKE
COME LOOK AT THIS.
GONE.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
PRAISE GOD YOU KNOW GOD'S WILL
BE DONE.
JAMIE IS HAPPILY LIVING PAIN
FREE.
SHE HAS EVEN RESUMED HIKING
WITH HER HUSBAND JIM.
GOD'S SOVEREIGN, THE HEALER.
EVERY BREATH WE TAKE THAT'S NOT
ANYTHING ELSE BUT GOD.
IT HAD TO BE SUPERNATURAL
BECAUSE THING THAT CURED IT
HEALED IT COMPLETELY WAS TOUCH
OF GOD.
GOD BLESS YOU JAMIE.

ONE POINT?
