THINGS THAT NOBODY CAN TAKE

CREDIT FOR EVERYBODY WELCOME TO

THE SHOW AMANDA KNOX IN FOR

GORDON TODAY.

SAD NEWS ISRAEL THE IDF

ANNOUNCED FOUR MORE HOSTAGES

HAVE DIED IN GAZA THIS AS THE

U.S. IS CALLING ON BOTH SIDES

TO AGREE TO FIRE.

ISRAEL'S BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

IS HOLDING FAST TO HIS

GOVERNMENT'S PLEDGE TO KEEP

FIGHTING UNTIL HAMAS IS.

NOW THE U.S. IS TURNING TO THE

UNITED NATIONS TO INCREASE THE

PRESSURE.

CBN'S JULIE STAL HAS THE LATEST

.

THE ISRAELI MILITARY

CONFIRMED THAT FOUR MORE

HOSTAGES DIED IN CAPTIVITY IN

GAZA.

THREE OF THEM WERE SEEN ALIVE

IN A HAMAS PROPAGANDA VIDEO

EARLIER.

THEIR LOVED ONES WERE KILLED

A FEW MONTHS AGO DURING HAMAS

CAPTIVITY IN GAZA.

THEIR BODIES STILL BEING HELD

BY HAMAS.

WE ASSISTED THE FOUR OF THEM

WERE KILLED WHILE TOGETHER IN

THE OF HEINOUSNESS DURING

OPERATION AGAINST HAMAS.

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION CLAIMS THE

REMAINING HOSTAGES COULD BE

FREED AND THE WAR ENDED IF

HAMAS AND ISRAEL WOULD AGREE TO

ITS CEASE FIRE PROPOSAL.

THEY SAY THE IDF'S WAR ON HAS

SO WEAKENED THE TERRORIST GROUP

THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE THE

CAPABILITY TO LAUNCH DEADLY

ATTACKS LIKE THE ONE ON OCTOBER

7TH.

ENDLESS CONFLICT IN GAZA

PURSUIT OF SOME IDEA OF TOTAL

VICTORY NOT GOING TO MAKE

ISRAEL SAFER.

ISRAELIS SAY THE PITCHED

BATTLES THAT STILL CONTINUE IN

GAZA AND THE ONGOING ROCKET

LAUNCHES PROVE THAT HAMAS IS

FAR FROM DEFEATED.

ISRAELI PRIME BENJAMIN

NETANYAHU REJECTS ANY PLAN THAT

WOULD END THE WAR BEFORE

DESTROYING HAMAS'S ABILITY TO

GOVERN GAZA AND STRIKE THE

JEWISH NATION.

HE MAINTAINS HE'S STICKING TO

HIS WAR CABINET'S GOAL FROM THE

START.

NO PEACE TILL HAMAS HAS BEEN

ELIMINATED AND ALL THE HOSTAGES

FREED.

WE INSIST WE COMPLETE BOTH

THIS AND THAT.

IT'S PART OF THE OUTLINE.

IT'S NOT I'M ADDING NOW IT'S

NOT SOMETHING I'M ADDING

BECAUSE I WAS PRESSURED IN THE

COALITION.

IT'S SOMETHING WE UNANIMOUSLY

AGREED ON IN THE WAR CABINET

WITH ONE VOICE.

MEANWHILE, THE U.S.

AMBASSADOR THE UNITED NATIONS

IS URGING THE U.N. SECURITY

COUNCIL TO SUPPORT THE THREE

PHASED PLAN ANNOUNCED BY

PRESIDENT BIDEN TO END THE WAR.

ISRAELI COMMENTATOR CAROLYN

GLICK TELLS NEWS IT'S AN END

RUN BY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION

.

SO THIS IS A WAY OF GOING

AROUND THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT,

GOING AROUND THE ISRAELI

PEOPLE, GOING AROUND THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE TO TRY TO

COMPEL ISRAEL TO CAPITULATE

THROUGH THE UNITED AND DID THE

SAME THING IN 2016 WITH THE

NUCLEAR DEAL THAT PRESIDENT

OBAMA FINALIZED WITH IRAN THAT

GAVE IRAN AN OPEN PATH TO A

NUCLEAR ARSENAL.

MEANWHILE, IN NORTHERN

ISRAEL ISRAELI TROOPS AND FIRE

AND RESCUE SERVICES HAVE GAINED

CONTROL RAGING FIRES SPARKED BY

HEZBOLLAH ROCKET FIRE THE

GALILEE.

JULIE STAHL, CBN NEWS,

JERUSALEM.

THANK YOU, JULIE.

IN OTHER NEWS, DR. ANTHONY

FAUCI FACED TOUGH QUESTIONS ON

CAPITOL HILL MONDAY.

JOHN JESSUP HAS MORE ON THAT

STORY FROM OUR CBN NEWS BUREAU

IN WASHINGTON.

JOHN THAT'S RIGHT, ANDREW.

HOUSE REPUBLICANS GRILLED

THE FORMER WHITE HOUSE CHIEF

MEDICAL ADVISER ABOUT THE

ORIGINS OF COVID THE

GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE TO THE

PANDEMIC.

CBS NEWS SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

WENDY GRIFFITH REPORTS THAT

SHE'S TESTIMONY BEFORE A HOUSE

SUBCOMMITTEE MARKED HIS FIRST

PUBLIC APPEARANCE ON CAPITOL

HILL SINCE RETIRING IN DECEMBER

2022.

HE SAID THE COVID LAB LEAK

THEORY ISN'T A CONSPIRACY AND

MAINTAINED HE KEPT AN OPEN MIND

ABOUT HOW IT OCCURRED DURING

HEARING.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS PRAISED DR.

FAUCI FOR SAVING COUNTLESS

DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC.

I LOST BOTH OF MY DURING THE

PANDEMIC SO I TAKE THIS VERY

PERSONALLY.

IT'S TO NOTE THAT IS MY OPINION

IS THAT YOU ARE AN AMERICAN

HERO.

YOUR TEAM HAS DONE MORE TO SAVE

LIVES THAN ALL 435 MEMBERS OF

THIS BODY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE

AISLE WHILE RECOGNIZING ASPECTS

OF HIS LONG SERVICE.

SOME REPUBLICANS ALSO

CRITICIZED DR. FAUCI BUSINESS

CLOSURES, LEON, WHEN 5000

PEOPLE WERE DYING A DAY.

YES, CHURCH CLOSURES, SAME

THING SCHOOL CLOSURES AGAIN THE

STAY AT HOME ORDERS THESE

IMPORTANT WHEN WE WERE TRYING

TO STOP THE TSUNAMI OF DEATHS

THAT WERE OCCURRING EARLY ON.

HOW LONG YOU KEPT THEM GOING IS

DEBATABLE AS TO THE THEORY THAT

THE VIRUS ESCAPED FROM THE

WUHAN INSTITUTE OF VIROLOGY.

FAUCI TESTIFIED THAT CAN'T BE

RULED OUT.

HE CALLED ALLEGATIONS OF HIS

INVOLVEMENT IN TRYING TO COVER

UP ITS ORIGINS COMPLETELY

FALSE.

THE ACCUSATION BEING

CIRCULATED THAT I INFLUENCED

THESE SCIENTISTS TO CHANGE

THEIR MINDS BY BRIBING THEM

WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN

GRANT MONEY IS ABSOLUTELY AND

SIMPLY PREPOSTEROUS FALSE.

YOU DID ADMIT VACCINE WAS

NOT AS EFFECTIVE AS THEY FIRST

THOUGHT.

THE VACCINE SAVED MILLIONS

OF LIVES AND I WANT TO THANK

YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND

ENGAGEMENT ON THAT.

HOWEVER, DESPITE TO THE

CONTRARY, IT DID NOT STOP

TRANSMISSION OF THE VIRUS.

THAT IS A COMPLICATED ISSUE

BECAUSE IN THE BEGINNING THE

ITERATION OF THE VACCINES DID

HAVE AN EFFECT NOT 100%, NOT A

HIGH EFFECT.

THEY DID PREVENT INFECTION AND

AND SUBSEQUENTLY OBVIOUSLY

TRANSMISSION.

HOWEVER IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT

OUT SOMETHING THAT WE DID NOT

KNOW EARLY ON THAT BECAME

EVIDENT AS THE MONTHS WENT IS

THAT THE DURABILITY OF

PROTECTION AGAINST INFECTION

AND HENCE TRANSMISSION WAS

RELATIVELY LIMITED DEFINITELY

HAD A POSITIVE EFFECT FOR MANY

PEOPLE ESPECIALLY THAT WERE

VULNERABLE.

BUT WE KNEW FROM THE TRIALS

THAT PEOPLE THAT GOT VACCINATED

STILL WERE SUBJECT TO GETTING

SO IT WAS THE GLOBAL VACCINE

100% EFFECTIVE.

I DON'T ANY VACCINE IS 100%

EFFECTIVE.

FAUCI ALSO SAID WORK NEEDS

TO BE DONE TO PREPARE THE US

FOR THE NEXT PANDEMIC INCLUDING

BETTER COMMUNICATION BETWEEN

FEDERAL AND LOCAL OFFICIALS.

WENDY GRIFFITH, CBN NEWS.

THANK YOU, WENDY.

BACK TO YOU ANDREW.

YEAH, WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT

THIS.

YOU SAW CBN'S OWN GORDON

ROBERTSON AS A SIGNIFICANT PART

OF THIS INITIATIVE AND PASTOR

DERRICK RIVERS, A DEAR FRIEND

OF CBN.

YOU KNOW WHEN JOHN 17 JESUS

PRAYS FOR HIMSELF THAT HE MAY

GLORIFY THE FATHER AND THEN HE

PRAYED FOR HIS DISCIPLES

BECAUSE WAS LEAVING THEM AND

THEN HE PRAYED FOR ALL

BELIEVERS THAT'S YOU AND THAT'S

ME.

AND WHAT DID HE PRAY OR WHAT

DID HE NOT PRAY?

HE DIDN'T PRAY WE'D BE WEALTHY

OR RICH OR BOLD.

HE DIDN'T PRAY.

WE WOULD HAVE GREAT AUTHORITY.

HE FOR UNITY HE PRAYED THAT WE

WOULD BE ONE.

WHY GORDON TOUCHED ON IT IN

THAT NEWS PIECE SO THAT PEOPLE

WOULD KNOW THE FATHER SENT

JESUS.

THERE IS A LOT RIDING ON OUR

UNITY AS BELIEVERS AND THE

MESSAGE WE ARE GIVING TO PEOPLE

AND WHAT DO PEOPLE SEE WHEN

THEY SEE CHRISTIANS?

THERE'S A LOT RIDING IT.

JESUS SAID PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE

THE FATHER SENT HIM IF WE ARE

UNIFIED.

SO IF IT'S DEAR TO THE HEART OF

JESUS IT SHOULD BE DEAR TO US

AS WELL.

AND I PRESUME JESUS KNEW

WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR US AND

THAT'S WHY HE PRAYED TO HIS

FATHER ABOUT IT.

STAY CONNECTED WITH NEWS ALL

DAY ACROSS OUR PLATFORMS GOSPEL

BERNSTEIN SAT AT THE PLACE

OF HONOR DURING A ROYAL

BANQUET.

SHE SHE LAUGHED.

SHE PERFECT PEACE.

AND WHILE SHE HAD AN

INDESCRIBABLE JOY THAT TABLE

SHE KNEW THERE WAS AN EVEN

GREATER BLESSING AWAITING HER

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR I

WAS.

MY BODY WAS PRESENT IN THE

HOSPITAL.

THEY CUT ON THAT BODY IN THE

HOSPITAL.

ALL THOSE THINGS WILL HAPPEN TO

THAT BODY.

THIS BODY, THE HOSPITAL.

HOWEVER, I WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE

AFTER HAVING TWO CHILDREN IN

HER FORTIES.

MYRNA STEIN RONIT DEVELOPED

POSTPARTUM CARDIOMYOPATHY A

RARE HEART CONDITION SOON

BECAME CONGESTIVE HEART

FAILURE.

I WAS A HARD TIME BREATHING.

I WAS SURE SHORTNESS OF BREATH

IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

I COULD LAY DOWN FLAT AND LAY

DOWN SLEEP SITTING UP PROPPED

UP ON PILLOWS.

SHE HAD A PACEMAKER INSERTED TO

KEEP HER HEART IN RHYTHM.

STILL SHE CONTINUED TO STRUGGLE

AS HER HEALTH DECLINED.

IT STARTED MY PACEMAKER

WASN'T ENOUGH AFTER A WHILE.

YOU IT SEEMED AS THOUGH WHEN IT

STARTED TO GO BAD IT WENT BAD A

REALLY REALLY QUICK.

AND THEY ACTUALLY TOLD MY

FAMILY TO PLACE ME IN HOSPICE

BECAUSE.

I WASN'T EVEN GOING TO MAKE IT

SIX MONTHS.

AND THAT SIX MONTHS GOT SHORTER

AND.

THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING ELSE

WE COULD DO.

PUT IN HOSPICE OR JUST TAKE A

HOME TO DIE COMFORTABLY AMONGST

THE LOVED OF FAMILY AND

FRIENDS.

IN 2019 A DIFFERENT HOSPITAL

AGREED TO PERFORM HEART SURGERY

IN AN ATTEMPT TO EXTEND HER

LIFE.

THERE WERE COMPLICATIONS AND

SLIPPED INTO A COMA.

SHE SAYS WHILE HER BODY WAS

HOSPITAL SHE WAS SOMEWHERE

ELSE.

I HAD WENT TO A PLACE THAT

ONLY SCRIPTURE CAN TRY TO

DESCRIBE.

I WAS SENT DOWN AT A TABLE

EATING LISTENING TO THE JOY

BEHIND THIS HUMONGOUS HUMONGOUS

.

ALL I DID THIS ENTIRE I

LAUGH AND I ATE.

I LOOKED AT THE PRETTY GIFTS AT

THE END OF THE TABLE.

THIS DOOR I WISHED THAT I HAD

THE ADJECTIVES TO DESCRIBE THE

DOOR THE LIGHT ON THE OTHER

SIDE OF THE DOOR WAS SO BRIGHT

THE JUST THE LITTLE SPACES THE

SEPARATE THE TOP FROM THE

BOTTOM.

YOU COULDN'T EVEN REALLY LOOK

AT BED LIGHT.

IT WAS SO BRIGHT AND I SAT AT

THAT TABLE AND I WAS SAY PEACE

IN.

OH MY GOD BLESS.

IT'S NOTHING LIKE THE PEACE AS

THE PARENTS ALL UNDERSTAND.

AND WHEN YOU ARE IN A PLACE OF

JOY, THE SCRIPTURE THE LORD IS

SO STRAIGHT.

I DIDN'T I DIDN'T YOU COULDN'T

TELL ME I WAS NOWHERE NEAR

SICKNESS.

I DON'T KNOW IF THOSE WERE

ANGELS OR SOULS BEHIND THAT

DOOR.

BUT I COULD HEAR THE BLISS HE

MAGNIFIED BEHIND THE DOOR THE

FRUIT AND THE FOOD THAT I.

I JUST WANT A LITTLE BIT OF IT

NOW WHEN I FINALLY GET UP FROM

THAT TABLE TO WALK OVER TO THAT

DOOR TO PUT MY HAND OUT TO,

TOUCH THE KNOB OF THAT DOOR I

CAME BACK TO EARTH.

I WOKE UP WHEN I WOKE UP

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND I WAS

SINGING OH

THEN YEAH YEAH AND THEN OH OH

GEE.

OH, PLEASE.

BERNSTEIN A DIFFICULT RECOVERY

AND LONG TO RETURN TO THE

TRANQUIL PEACE HAD EXPERIENCED

AT THE HEAVENLY BANQUET TABLE.

SHE ENCOURAGES OTHERS LOST

LOVED ONES TO BELIEVE THAT THEY

ARE IN PERFECT PEACE.

IF THEY'RE BELIEVER AND THEY'VE

HAD A SMIDGEN OF WHAT I EXPECT

SINCE THEY DON'T WANT TO COME

BACK WHAT I COME BACK FOR WHAT

?

YOU'RE IN A PLACE WHERE

THERE'S NO MORE PAIN.

THERE'S NO MORE SUFFERING THIS

PEACE IS SURPASSES ALL

UNDERSTANDING.

HIS WAYS ARE NOT ALWAYS HIS

THOUGHTS.

YOU CANNOT THERE ARE NO

ADJECTIVES TO DESCRIBE WHAT

OVERTAKES YOUR SPIRIT WHEN

YOU'RE ANYWHERE NEAR HIS TRUE

PRESENCE.

NOTHING LIKE IT.

IF YOU OPEN A DOOR YOUR

HEART AND LET ME HE WILL BECOME

JUST AS REAL TO YOU AS ANY

OTHER HUMAN BEING.

I DON'T CARE WHAT SEEMS

IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD THINGS ALL

THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

I BELIEVED BEFORE.

I KNOW NOW THERE'S A

DIFFERENCE.

SHE KNOWS NOW.

FIVE YEARS AFTER HER HEAVENLY

EXPERIENCE AND JUST TWO WEEKS

AFTER THIS INTERVIEW WITH CBN,

MIRNA STEIN'S HEART BEAT ITS

LAST.

SHE IS NOW AT PEACE IN THE

LIGHT AND JOY ON THE OTHER SIDE

THAT DOOR IT'S VERY UNIQUE THAT

WE WOULD A TESTIMONY IN WHICH

JUST WEEKS AFTER WE VISITED

WITH THE PERSON THEY PASSED

AWAY BUT WE THOUGHT THIS WAS SO

IMPORTANT BECAUSE A LOT OF

TIMES IN OUR CHRISTIAN WALK WE

DON'T FOCUS ENOUGH ON OUR

ETERNAL HOME YOU KNOW THIS IS

TEMPORARY AND IN FIRST JOHN WE

READ THAT IF YOU HAVE THE SUN

YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE AND JOHN

SAID I WRITE THIS TO ASSURE YOU

DO NOT DOUBT, YOU KNOW AND OF

COURSE WE KNOW WHAT JESUS SAID

OF THE PEOPLE ON THE CROSS

TODAY YOU WILL BE ME IN

PARADISE.

JESUS SAID IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE

THERE ARE MANY ROOMS AND I GO

AND PREPARE A PLACE YOU.

THIS GIVES US SO MUCH HOPE

AS BELIEVERS.

YEAH, I THINK IT'S SO COOL.

I MEAN OBVIOUSLY SCRIPTURE

TELLS US TO KEEP OUR THOUGHTS

ON THINGS ABOVE AND HOW MANY

TIMES MYSELF INCLUDED DO WE NOT

DO THAT?

DO WE JUST GET SO BOGGED DOWN

WITH THINGS OF THIS WORLD?

AND I THINK HER TESTIMONY AND

JUST WHAT SHE EXPERIENCED IS

JUST SUCH A GOOD REMINDER AND

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR US ALL THAT

THIS REALLY IS NOT OUR HOME

LIKE WE ARE CITIZENS OF HEAVEN

MAKE THE MOST AND MAKE THE BEST

OF THE TIME THAT WE HAVE ON

THIS EARTH.

BUT JUST KNOW THAT THERE IS

ETERNITY WAITING FOR YOU AND

FOR ME THERE'S A BANQUET TABLE

WITH OUR SAVIOR WE'RE GOING TO

EAT, DRINK AND BE WITH OUR

HEAVENLY FATHER AND THAT'S JUST

A BEAUTIFUL THING TO LOOK FOR.

AND AS HER FAMILY GRIEVES I

JUST MARVEL AT THAT FOOTAGE OF

HER IN THE HOSPITAL GOSH, HER

BEING RAISED HEARTFELT PRAISE

THAT'S ONE 809 4061 THREE.

RIGHT AFTER THIS.

TODAY ADAM I GAVE UP EVERYTHING

FOR HER FAITH.

SHE AND HER CHILDREN HAD NO

MONEY, NO FOOD AND NO PLACE TO

LIVE.

THROUGH IT ALL THOUGH, SHE

TRUSTED THAT GOD WOULD PROVIDE.

AND HERE'S HOW YOU ANSWERED HER

PRAYERS.

WHEN ADAM AND HER CHILDREN

BECAME CHRISTIANS ADAM HIS

HUSBAND ALONG WITH THE REST OF

HER MUSLIM FAMILY CAST THEM OUT

OF THEIR HOME.

IS THIS I WENT HOUSE TO HOUSE

WASHING CLOTHES WITH LITTLE

INCOME FROM THAT I WAS UNABLE

TO PAY RENT.

WE ARE VICTIMS MANY TIMES

BECAUSE OF THAT.

WE SLEPT IN UNFINISHED HOUSES

THAT DIDN'T HAVE DOORS OR

WINDOWS.

WE WERE EXPELLED FROM SCHOOL

BECAUSE WE COULDN'T PAY THE

TUITION.

SEEING MY FRIENDS TO SCHOOL

WITHOUT ME REALLY HURTS.

BUT I TRUSTED IN GOD AND WE

ASKED HIM TO SEND PEOPLE TO

HELP US.

WE HARDLY HAD ANY FOOD

ONE TIME WE DIDN'T HAVE

ANYTHING TO EAT FOR FOUR DAYS.

I HAD $0.33 SO I BOUGHT TEA

BAGS A MIDSUMMER TEA FOR MY

KIDS TO FEEL STOMACHS.

WHEN I SHARED MY STORY AT A

PRAYER MEETING A LADY THERE

CONTACTED ORPHANS PROMISE AND

ASKED THEM HELP US.

SOON AFTER THAT ANOTHER

CHRISTIAN COUPLE AT THAT PRAYER

MEETING OFFERED TO PAY THEIR

RENT AND AN APARTMENT.

THEN ORPHANS PROMISED CAME IN

WITH A SPECIAL HOUSEWARMING

GIFT.

THEY BROUGHT US RICE,

ONIONS, OIL AND EVERYTHING

NEEDED TO EAT.

GLORY TO GOD, I CRIED TEARS

OF JOY WHEN THIS MIRACLE

HAPPENED AND TO HELP ADAM'S

CHILDREN GET A GOOD EDUCATION.

WE ALSO PAID ALL OF THEIR

SCHOOL FEES, GOT US AND SAID

OUR PRAYERS.

WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTINUE

INTELLIGENCE AND EVERY TIME I'M

FIRST OR SECOND IN MY CLASSES.

THANK YOU FOR HELPING.

JOY.

JESUS CHRIST.

EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED.

HE SENDS HIS ANGELS ORPHANS

PROMISE TO BLESS US AND GIVE US

BACK OUR DIGNITY TO ALL THE

DONORS AND EVERYONE MADE THIS

POSSIBLE.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND RAISE YOU

FROM GLORY TO GLORY.

SO YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE A

SOURCE OF BLESSING TO OTHERS.

I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE

THAT AS CHRISTIANS WE ARE

CALLED TO BE A BLESSING UNTO

OTHERS GOD DOESN'T JUST BLESS

US WITH PROSPERITY AND JUST

EVEN BEYOND PROSPERITY.

JUST BLESS

TO KEEP IT ALL TO OURSELVES.

YOU KNOW WE ARE SONS AND

DAUGHTERS OF OUR HEAVENLY

FATHER.

WE ARE MADE IN HIS IMAGE.

THEREFORE WE ARE CALLED TO ACT

LIKE HIM TO, ACT LIKE CHRIST.

AND SCRIPTURE SAYS FOR GOD SO

LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HE

GAVE HIS ONLY SON JESUS CHRIST

.

WE ARE ALSO CALLED TO GIVE AND

LORD TOMORROW ON THE 700 CLUB

ROCKY CARSON IS A FIVE TIME

CONSECUTIVE WORLD WHO'S

DETERMINED TO CRUSH HIS

COMPETITION THE MOMENT HE SETS

ON THE COURT.

YET THIS RACQUETBALL KING FEELS

THE GREATEST FULFILLMENT NOT

WHEN HE'S WINNING BUT WHEN HE'S

CLOSEST TO THE LORD.

SPORTS REPORTER TOM BURING

TALKED WITH CARSON ABOUT WHO HE

WANTS TO REFLECT ON THE COURT.

ROCKY CARSON TURNED HIS SMALL

COMPETITIVE SPACE INTO A BROAD

SANCTUARY DEEP CONVICTION.

I FEEL HIS PRESENCE MOSTLY

IS RADIATING THROUGH ME RATHER

THAN JUST IN ME WHEN ON THE

COURT SO I GET TO SHARE IT IN A

WAY OF COMPETING IN A WAY THAT

REPRESENTS HIM.

HE'S BOTH COMPETITOR AND A

MAN OF PRINCIPLE EMBRACING A

FOUNDATION NOT JUST TO SUCCEED

BUT TO HANDLE SUCCESS AS OF THE

GREATEST RACQUETBALL PLAYERS

EVER.

A RECORD FIVE TIME WORLD

CHAMPION AND WINNER OF 19

NATIONAL TITLES CARSON'S

LONGEVITY IS UNMATCHED.

RANKED FIRST IN THE WORLD TWICE

OVER A DECADE EARNING A

PRESENCE AS ONE OF RACKET.

LEADING SPOKESMAN SO ROCKY WENT

TO SCRIPTURES PAINT

CHAMPIONSHIP RACQUETBALL WHILE

THE BALL TRAVELS UP OVER 180

MILES AN HOUR.

COULD ALMOST CALL IT CONTROLLED

CHAOS EXTREME ATHLETICISM WITH

QUITE A BIT OF STRATEGY AND

PATIENCE.

40 BY 20 FEET HOW DO YOU

TAKE WHAT WOULD APPEAR TO BE

SUCH A CLOSED SMALL AREA AND

OPEN IT UP TO MULTIPLE OPTIONS

IN A LOT OF SPORTS?

YOU DON'T HAVE WALLS TO WORK

WITH WHEN YOU ARE BOXED IN LIKE

THAT.

IT STARTS BECOMING A LITTLE BIT

TIGHT AT SAME TIME YOU START

LOOKING AT THE WALLS AND ALL

THE ANGLES THAT YOU HAD TO WORK

WITH.

IT OPENS UP A REALM OF

OPPORTUNITIES AND THE

CREATIVENESS THAT YOU CAN COME

OUT WITH ON A SHOT OR A SERVE

THAT MAYBE OTHERS ARE NOT

REALLY EXPECTING.

YOU'RE ALSO USING TOUCH AS

WELL AS IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A

CHECKERS CHESS MATCH.

SO YOU THERE'S A LOT OF

STRATEGY TOO.

SOMETIMES IT'S VERY LITTLE

STRATEGY AND YOU WANT TO JUST

DOWN THE OUT OF THE BALL AND

BE PHYSICAL.

DO YOU HAVE IT ON SWITCH AS

A COMPETITOR?

OH, WITHOUT A DOUBT.

WITHOUT A DOUBT.

THAT'S I LOVE.

KNOWING THAT TIME HAS COME AND

A LITTLE ANXIETY READY TO ROLL

AND KNOWING I BETTER BE READY

MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY

SPIRITUALLY THAT MOMENT.

THESE ARE INDIVIDUALS KNOW

SOME OF THEM MAYBE EVEN

COLLEAGUES.

FRIENDS?

YEAH.

WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH TO

THEM AS AN OPPONENT?

I WANT TO SEE THE BEST FOR THEM

BUT NOT AT MY EXPENSE.

I LOVE SEEING THEM DO WELL.

I WANT TO SEE THEM DO WELL.

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO ME VERSUS

YOU I WANT CRUSH EVERYBODY THE

MOMENT I GET ON THE COURT.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO FEEL LIKE

YOU BELONG AND THAT'S THE

COMPETITIVE NATURE IN.

ME?

NOT THAT I WANT BAD FOR YOU AS

TO WHAT GOOD FOR YOU TODAY.

YOU'VE GOT THE RARITY.

FIVE TIME CONSECUTIVE WORLD

CHAMP.

HOW DOES ONE TITLE ELEVATE YOU

FOR THE NEXT.

THAT FIRST TITLE IS WHEN

YOU'RE AT THE TOP OF THE GAMES.

I FINALLY GOT IT.

BUT ONCE YOU HAVE IT AT LEAST

FOR ME I DIDN'T WANT ANYBODY TO

HAVE IT EITHER.

INTENSE COMPETITION.

AND YOUR OPPONENT RIGHT NEXT TO

YOU.

DO YOU FIND IT DRAWS THE BEST

IN THE WORST OUT OF YOUR

HUMANITY?

I LOVE THE COMPETITOR OF

NATURE OF WHAT I GET TO DO.

THE INTENSITY, THE GRIND

THERE'S PHYSICAL CONTACT AT

TIMES AND WE BOTH WANT TO HAVE

WHAT EACH OTHER IS GOING FOR.

THERE'S NO GIVE UP IN THAT.

THERE'S TIMES I'VE WALKED OFF

THE COURT THINKING MAN, I'VE

WON THE MATCH BUT I LOSE BATTLE

IN A WAY.

SOMETIMES THAT BATTLES WITH

THAT IS A COMPETITOR OF

EXCELLENCE.

I THINK A COMPETITOR CAN BE

THE EXPRESSION OF GREATNESS AND

EXCELLENCE WHEN YOU'RE ABLE TO

HONE IN ON SOMETHING AND BE

DISCIPLINED AND, EVERYTHING'S

WORKING TOGETHER.

IT CAN BE MAJESTIC IN SOME WAYS

IN SOME WAYS ALMOST SURREAL TO

BE IN THAT MOMENT AND IT FEELS

AMAZING.

TITLES DO FEEL GOOD BUT THEY'RE

MOMENTARILY.

I FEEL MOST FULFILLED WHEN I'M

CLOSER TO LORD NOT WINNING

TITLES.

HAVE FUNDAMENTALS BEFRIENDED

YOU?

FUNDAMENTALS ARE THE

FOUNDATION OF ANYTHING WE DO.

EVERYBODY LOOKS AT THE RESULTS

OF SOMETHING BUT THE BEST

ATHLETES AND THE MOST

SUCCESSFUL ATHLETES ARE THE

MOST FUNDAMENTAL ATHLETES.

THEY'RE JUST BUILDING FROM THE

BOTTOM UP.

WE TO BUILD THESE FUNDAMENTALS

IN LIFE ESPECIALLY MYSELF AS A

CHRISTIAN AND HAVING THE BIBLE

TO GUIDE ME ALONG WITH THAT.

YOU TAKE THOSE FUNDAMENTALS AND

YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

THE LIMITED SPACE OF

RACQUETBALL AND THE VASTNESS AS

A SURFER, WHAT DOES THE SEA

BRING YOU THAT THE COURT CAN'T?

THE RACQUETBALL HAS BEEN MY

OFFICE SINCE I WAS ABOUT 16

YEARS OLD.

I WENT PROFESSIONAL AT 18 BUT

THE MOMENT I GET IN THE WATER

I'M RIGHT THERE AND WHAT GOD

MADE WITH HIS OWN HANDS.

PADDLE OUT AND CATCH A FEW

WAVES GIVES ME A LOT OF PEACE.

WE SAW YOU OUT WITH THE KIDS

TEACHING THEM SURFING.

DAD OF TWO.

WHERE'S YOUR HEART IN MENTORING

NEXT GENERATION.

I HAD GREAT MENTORSHIP FROM

MY DAD.

HE BROUGHT PRINCIPLES INTO MY

LIFE AT A YOUNG AGE.

PERSEVERANCE.

I HAD GREAT PARENTS AND GREAT

FAMILY.

MY WIFE.

BUT BEYOND THE TEACH

FUNDAMENTALS OF LIFE HOW TO

WAYS THAT THEY CAN TAKE NOT

JUST ON A FIELD OR IN WATER ON

A COURT BUT IN LIFE BE GIVEN

THAT RESPONSIBILITY AND

OPPORTUNITY IS AN HONOR WHERE

DOES THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN FIT

WITHIN THAT 40 BY 20 COURT?

WELL AS WE LOOK AT OURSELVES

AS CHRISTIANS AND

REPRESENTATIONS OF WHO CHRIST

IS, I LOOK AT THE PRINCIPLES

THAT WERE GIVEN TO US FROM THE

BIBLE THAT I'VE BEEN GIVEN

OUTSIDE THE COURT IS WHAT I

WANT TO REFLECT ON THE COURT AT

180 MILES AN HOUR OR NOT.

THE ACTIONS I THINK SO MUCH

MORE THAN THE WORDS.

MY JOB IS TO REFLECT THEM AND.

IF I DO THAT WELL THAT'S A

SUCCESS.

ANY CONFIDENCE I HAD AS A

RACQUETBALL PLAYER IS SHOT 180

MILES AN HOUR.

I MEAN HAVE YOU PLAYED

RACQUETBALL OR PLAYED?

YOU KNOW OKAY.

A COUPLE TIMES A YEAR FOR A

HOTEL THAT HAS IT OR SOMETHING

USED TO PLAY OVER HERE AT A GYM

ONCE IN A WHILE BUT I MEAN I'M

MEDIOCRE AT BEST BUT I MEAN HE

IS CUT AND COMPETITIVE BIG

HITTING AT 180 OH MY GOSH I'D

BE SO AFRAID.

NO NO WONDER THEY WEAR THE

GOGGLES, YOU KNOW WHEN YOU

HAVEN'T PLAYED.

NO, I'VE NEVER WAS AN HONOR

TO WEAR THE GOGGLES.

I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU MIGHT NOT.

OKAY.

IT'S A FUN SPORT.

MEAN IT LOOKS FUN AND IT

LOOKS KIND OF I MEAN THOSE WHO

MIGHT PLAY MIGHT DISAGREE BUT

IT LOOKS SIMILAR TO LIKE TENNIS

OR PICKLEBALL YOU KNOW,

SOMETHING WITH AROUND DOUBLES

FLYING ALL OVER.

SO ARE YOU EXCITED TO.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I THINK YES, MAYBE A LITTLE

MAYBE IF I'M LIKE IN THE GYM

WITH MY SONS.

YES, THAT THAT GETS YOU

TRYING TO BEAT THEM.

BUT AND HIS SPIRITUAL

DISCIPLINE ROCKIES.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT EIGHT ON THE

CBN NEWS CHANNEL SONIC COTTON

HAD THE KIND OF CHILDHOOD

NIGHTMARES ARE MADE OF.

SHE LIVED WITH HER DRUG

ADDICTED MOTHER IN A CRACK

HOUSE UNTIL SHE WAS FOUR.

SHE SPENT THE REST OF HER

CHILDHOOD IN THE FOSTER CARE

SYSTEM.

THEN AT 18 SHE BEGAN A TOXIC

RELATIONSHIP THAT EVENTUALLY TO

HER BREAKING POINT SIGN A

COTTON REMEMBERS HER TURBULENT

CHILDHOOD AND THE SHAME THAT

HER FOR YEARS.

WE LITERALLY LIVED IN A

CRACK HOUSE SO MY MOTHER WAS IN

AND OUT OF PRISON AND TO THIS

DAY I STILL DO NOT EVEN KNOW

WHO MY BIRTH FATHER IS.

SHE WAS JUST FOUR YEARS OLD

WHEN POLICE RAIDED HER HOME AND

DISCOVERED THAT SHE HAD BEEN

MALNOURISHED AND ABUSED

PHYSICALLY AND SEXUALLY.

SONIA AND HER BROTHER WERE

PLACED IN A FOSTER CARE HOME

AND FOUR YEARS LATER THEY WERE

ADOPTED BY A NEW FAMILY.

EACH PAIR OF GUARDIANS RAISED

SIGN ACCORDING TO THEIR

CHRISTIAN VALUES.

I WAS ALWAYS TAUGHT ABOUT

GOD.

I WAS ALWAYS TOLD THAT WE TO GO

TO CHURCH.

I WAS ALWAYS TOLD THAT THERE

WAS A HIGHER POWER SOMEONE THAT

WE WERE STRIVING TO BE LIKE.

BUT I NEVER REALLY HAD A

RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST FOR

MYSELF.

AT 18 SHE TURNED TO AN OLDER

MAN FOR LOVE AND BECAME

PREGNANT.

THE RELATIONSHIP WAS TOXIC,

SOMETIMES VIOLENT.

I WAS STILL TRYING TO FIND

OUT WHO I WAS AND.

I WAS STILL TRYING TO FIND

SOMEONE THAT WAS GOING TO LOVE

ME.

I WAS TRYING TO STILL KIND OF

HEAL AND TRYING TO FIND WAY TO

GET THE LOVE FROM A MAN REALLY

THAT WAS LACKING FROM MY BIRTH

MOTHER AND MY BIRTH FATHER.

TWO YEARS LATER THE COUPLE

SEPARATED.

SONIA SAYS SHE LOST CONTROL

DURING THEIR CHILD'S VISITATION

PICK UP WHEN THEIR ARGUMENT

ESCALATED TO A PHYSICAL FIGHT.

SHE REALIZED LIFE WAS HEADED IN

THE WRONG DIRECTION.

ONE DAY HE CAME TO UP OUR SON

FOR A WEEKEND VISIT AND HE

BROUGHT A YOUNG WOMAN WITH HIM.

AND ALTHOUGH WE WERE NOT

TOGETHER MORE SOMETHING IN ME

JUST KIND OF SNAP.

AND I REMEMBER WHEN THE

ALTERCATION WAS OVER I FOUND IN

THE BATHROOM LOOKING AT MYSELF

IN THE MIRROR TEARS RUNNING

DOWN MY FACE AND I REMEMBER

THINKING THERE HAS TO BE MORE

THAN THIS.

AND BEFORE I WENT TO SLEEP THAT

NIGHT I LITERALLY GOT DOWN ON

MY KNEES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN

YEARS AND I JUST CRIED OUT TO

GOD AND ASKED GOD TO REALLY

SHOW ME SOMEONE WHO WAS GOING

TO LOVE ME THE WAY I DESERVE TO

BE LOVED.

THE VERY NEXT DAY COURSE WAS

SUNDAY AND SO MY COUSIN SAID,

YOU KNOW, I'M VISITING THIS

CHURCH FOR THE THIRD TIME AND I

THINK YOU SHOULD COME.

AND SO WHEN WE WALKED UP TO THE

CHURCH I REMEMBER WALKING UP

THE WALKWAY AND THERE WAS A

GENTLEMAN THAT WAS STANDING

OUTSIDE AND I TURNED TO MY

COUSIN AND I SAID GOD SAID

THAT'S MY HUSBAND.

AND SHE SAID YOU ARE CRAZY.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE FOR

GOD FOR A MAN.

AND I SAID I'M TELLING YOU GOD

SAID THAT THAT IS MY HUSBAND.

I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING

DIFFERENT ABOUT HIM SOMETHING

THAT I HAD NEVER FELT BEFORE.

AND SO WHEN SERVICE WAS OVER WE

ENDED UP EXCHANGING NUMBERS.

THE MAN TURNED OUT TO BE THE

PASTOR'S SON.

AFTER SIX MONTHS OF DATING,

THEY MARRIED.

I WAS STARTING TO KIND OF

CHURCH AND BY PLAY CHURCH I

MEAN I WOULD COME TO CHURCH.

I WOULD, YOU KNOW, ENGAGE IN

THE PRAISE AND AND I WOULD BE A

PART OF ALL OF THE WOMEN'S

MINISTRIES AND ALL THE

DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THEY HAD

GOING ON THE CHURCH.

BUT I HAD NO REAL RELATION

KINSHIP WITH CHRIST WHEN SARNO

LEAST EXPECTED IT A GUEST

PREACHER HER OUT.

HE BEGAN TO KIND OF SPEAK

INTO MY LIFE AND HE WAS SAYING

HOW, YOU KNOW, GOD REALLY

WANTED TO USE BUT HE DID NOT

WANT TO CONTINUE USING ME AS

THE BROKEN WOMAN.

AND SO FOR THE FIRST TIME I

REALIZED I WAS A BROKEN WOMAN

THAT EVEN THOUGH I HAD FOUND

THAT LOVE I PRAYED FOR AND I

HAD FOUND THIS HUSBAND AND I

WAS MARRIED IT DID NOT HEAL THE

THINGS THAT I HAD GONE THROUGH.

SHANA FINALLY SURRENDERED TO

GOD.

AND OVER TIME SHE NOTICED THAT

BROKEN HEART HAD HEALED.

GOD SAID TO ME VERY CLEARLY

YOUR HEALING PROCESS IS DONE.

BUT NOW I YOU TO BE UNASHAMED.

IT WAS AS IF I FINALLY REALIZED

ALL THOSE THINGS THAT I HAD

GONE THROUGH ALL THOSE YEARS OF

PAIN ALL THOSE YEARS OF CRYING

HAD BROUGHT ME FINALLY TO THIS

POINT WHERE GOD SAID IT'S TIME

FOR YOU NOW TO SERVE ME WHOLE

AND IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO

SURRENDER TO ME.

AND IT WAS IN THAT MOMENT I

LITERALLY GOT DOWN ON THE FLOOR

IN MY LIVING ROOM AND I

SURRENDER MY LIFE TO GOD.

AND THAT WAS THE MOMENT WHERE I

KNEW THAT I HAD FINALLY

ESTABLISHED MY OWN RELATIONSHIP

WITH CHRIST.

SANA HAS BEEN MOVING FORWARD

SINCE SHE'S BEEN MARRIED TO HER

HUSBAND JOSHUA 11 YEARS NOW AND

SERVES ALONGSIDE HIM IN

MINISTRY.

SHE'S A MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER

AND ADVOCATE OR ADOPTED IN

FOSTER AS WELL AS CHILDREN WITH

INCARCERATED PARENTS.

SHE ALSO FOUNDED UNASHAMED, A

FOUNDATION THAT AIMS TO EMPOWER

WOMEN.

SHE'S NO LONGER ASHAMED OF HER

PAST.

IN FACT, SHE EMBRACES IT AS

PROOF OF GOD'S TO HEAL AND MAKE

HOME.

YOU KNOW THE THING THAT BRINGS

THE MOST JOY IN MY LIFE IS

ALLOWING MY CHILDREN TO SEE ME

AS THE WOMAN THAT I AM TODAY.

THEY HAVE SEEN AS A BROKEN

WOMAN THEY HAVE SEEN SO MANY

TIMES THAT I'VE CRIED.

BUT NOW THEY GET TO SEE GOD'S

WORK MY LIFE.

THE VERY THINGS THAT SHAMED ME

VERY THINGS THAT CAUSE ME TO BE

ASHAMED OF WHO I WAS GOD IS

ALLOWING ME TO USE THOSE THINGS

TO GO OUT AND SPEAK TO PEOPLE

AND TO REALLY TELL THEM OF WHAT

HE'S DONE FOR TO SHOW THEM THAT

IF HE DID IT FOR ME HE CAN DO

IT FOR YOU HERE THAT TRUTH

TODAY IF GOD CAN DO IT FOR A

SANA HE CAN DO IT FOR YOU AND

NOT JUST THAT HE CAN BUT THAT

HE'S WILLING AND ABLE TO SET

YOU FREE.

WHY?

BECAUSE THAT IS WHY HE DIED THE

CROSS HE DIED ON THE CROSS FOR

THE FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS.

HALLELUJAH.

HE DIED ON THE CROSS SO THAT

WE WOULD BE MADE WHOLE NOT JUST

IN OUR BODIES BUT IN OUR HEARTS

AND IN OUR MINDS.

IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS AND

YOU'VE ASKED SIMILAR QUESTION

THAT SANA ASKED IS THERE MORE I

THIS IS WHAT SONIA SAID.

SHE SAID I BELIEVE THAT THERE'S

MUCH MORE THAN THIS LIFE THAT

I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS

NEGATIVITY, THIS TRAUMA, THIS

HURT, THIS REGRET, SHAME, THIS

GUILT, THIS ADDICTION WHATEVER

IT IS.

YES, THERE IS MORE FOR YOU, MY

FRIENDS AND FIND IT WE ALL FIND

IT NO MATTER WHO WE ARE, NO

MATTER WHAT WE MIGHT HAVE DONE

IN OUR PAST, WE ALL FIND MORE

THE ABUNDANT LIFE IN JESUS

CHRIST.

AND IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS AND

YOU'VE NEVER GIVEN YOUR LIFE

OVER TO JESUS OR YOU DID YEARS

AGO WHEN YOU WERE A KID, NOW IS

THE I BELIEVE TO JUST SURRENDER

TO JESUS LIKE NEVER.

SO JUST PRAY WITH ME RIGHT NOW

THIS SIMPLE PRAYER COME AS YOU

RIGHT NOW HEAVENLY FATHER I CRY

OUT TO YOU JESUS I I MAKE YOU

MY LORD AND SAVIOR TODAY

LORD JESUS I CHOOSE TO TURN MY

WICKED WAYS I RENOUNCE SATAN
