THE SUN'S NOT COMING UP AGAIN.
IT'S OVER.
THIS IS YOUR HOME NOW AND YOU
ARE ABSOLUTELY, COMPLETELY.
WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.
THE UNITED STATES IS URGING
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU TO SHOW
RESTRAINT IN RESPONSE TO
INCREASING HEZBOLLAH ROCKET
INTO NORTHERN ISRAEL.
AT THE SAME TIME, ONE IDF MAJOR
TELLS CBN NEWS NOW THE TIME TO
ACT.
ISRAEL SAYS ITS DESTROYED
HALF THE HAMAS FIGHTING FORCES
IN RAFAH AND IT COULD WRAP UP
OPERATIONS THE CITY IN THE
MATTER OF WEEKS.
CBN'S JULIE STAHL REPORTS IN
MEETINGS WITH PRIME MINISTER
BENJAMIN AND DEFENSE MINISTER
YOAV GALLANT, A SENIOR AIDE,
PRESIDENT BIDEN CALLED FOR
ISRAEL TO TRUST DIPLOMACY AND
REFRAIN FROM ALL OUT WAR WITH
ISRAELIS LIVING IN THE NORTH
ENDURING DAILY SHELLINGS AND
SOME 100,000 HAVING EVACUATED
THEIR HOMES.
ONE ISRAELI RESERVE MAJOR TOLD
CBN NEWS THAT TRUSTING
DIPLOMACY IS NOT REALISTIC.
SO HOW DIPLOMACY CAN WORK.
WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A
REGIME THAT IS EXPORTING A
DIALOG THAT IS CALLING FOR
SUBMISSION OF THEIR VALUES FOR
THEIR ISLAMIC SHARIA LAW THOSE
VALUES IN OUR REGION AND ISRAEL
IS ACTUALLY FOR THEM THE JEWISH
DEMOCRATIC STATE OF ISRAEL.
ISRAELI RESERVE MAJOR SHADI
HALIL IS AN ARAB MAN CHRISTIAN
FROM THE GALILEE.
HE SAYS TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.
ACTUALLY THE EARLIER WE DO
IT THE MORE CHANCES WE HAVE TO
WIN THIS WAR.
IF WE DELAY THIS CONFLICT THERE
WILL BE READY AND GET READY TO
DESTROY ISRAEL AND THEN MOVE ON
TO OTHER COUNTRIES EUROPE.
EARLIER IN THE WAR ISRAEL
FACED U.S. INTERNATIONAL
OPPOSITION TO INVADING RAFAH
AND THE REMAINING HAMAS
BATTALIONS.
NOW ISRAELI FORCES SAY THEY'VE
DESTROYED TWO OF THE FOUR
BATTALIONS AND DEGRADED OTHER
TWO.
THEY'VE ALSO DISCOVERED
HUNDREDS OF ROCKETS INTENDED
ISRAELI CIVILIANS.
ISRAELI MEDIA IS REPORTING A
NEW DOCUMENT THAT SHOWS
MILITARY AND INTELLIGENCE
OFFICIALS KNEW WEEKS IN ADVANCE
OF HAMAS'S PLAN TO INVADE
ISRAEL AND KIDNAP AS MANY AS
250 ISRAELIS.
WHILE OFFICIALS BELIEVE
DEFENSES WERE STRONG ENOUGH TO
PREVENT AN INVASION, HAMAS
SUCCEEDED IN KILLING 1200
CIVILIANS AND TAKING ABOUT 250
HOSTAGES ON OCTOBER 7TH.
SOME OF THE HOSTAGES DIED IN
CAPTIVITY AND THOSE WHO'VE BEEN
RELEASED AND RESCUED TESTIFIED
TO PSYCHOLOGICAL, PHYSICAL AND
SEXUAL ABUSE.
VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS
HIGHLIGHTED THAT THESE ARE
LIKELY STILL HAPPENING TO
HOSTAGES HELD IN GAZA.
AND I JUST MET WITH AMIT, A
SURVIVOR WHO HAS BRAVELY COME
FORWARD WITH HER ACCOUNT A
SEXUAL VIOLENCE WHILE SHE WAS
HELD CAPTIVE BY HAMAS.
THESE TESTIMONIES I FEAR
WILL ONLY INCREASE AS MORE
HOSTAGES ARE RELEASED.
JULIE STALL, CBN NEWS,
JERUSALEM.
WELL I WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT AMI
CHRISTIAN HE IS A MAJOR IN THE
IDF.
HE'S FROM GALILEE WHICH WOULD
MEAN AS AN ARAMAIC CHRISTIAN IS
ONE OF THE OLDEST CHRISTIAN
COMMUNITIES IN THE WORLD.
AND WHAT HE IS SAYING IS IN THE
IDEOLOGICAL STRUGGLE HERE YOU
ON ONE SIDE A DEMOCRACY THAT
BELIEVES IN FREEDOM OF SPEECH,
FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE, FREEDOM
OF RELIGION.
HE'S ABLE TO PRACTICE HIS
RELIGION FREELY ISRAEL.
HE'S NOT DISCRIMINATED AGAINST.
HE ROSE THE POSITION OF MAJOR
IN THE AND THE IDF AND HE'S
SAYING IT'S A STRUGGLE AGAINST
DEMOCRACY AND UNDER SHARIA LAW
IS THE OTHER SIDE AN ISLAMIC
RULE THAT REQUIRES SUBMIT TO
SHARIA LAW AND THAT IS A
STRUGGLE.
WHEN YOU WHEN YOU ANALYZE IT
FROM THAT STANDPOINT I REALLY
DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE CAMPUS
PROTESTS HERE IN AMERICA WHERE
THEY'RE LITERALLY SAYING WE
DON'T WANT DEMOCRACY IN ISRAEL,
WE DON'T WANT FREEDOM
CONSCIENCE, WE DON'T WANT
FREEDOM OF RELIGION.
WE TO IMPOSE SHARIA LAW
THROUGHOUT ISRAEL.
THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS WHEN
YOU'RE CHANTING FROM THE RIVER
TO THE SEA.
YOU'RE SAYING THAT ONLY MUSLIMS
CAN CAN BE IN ISRAEL.
GO BACK TO PERIOD OF TIME FROM
1948 TO 1967 WHERE THE WEST
BANK, JERUSALEM, EAST JERUSALEM
,THE JEWISH QUARTER IN THE OLD
CITY OF JERUSALEM.
YOU GO BACK TO THAT TIME PERIOD
YOU COULDN'T BE AND BE THERE.
IT WAS ILLEGAL FOR YOU.
YOU PRAY AT THE WESTERN WALL.
YOU HAD TO HAVE SPECIAL PERMITS
JUST TO GO TO THE AREAS THAT
WERE CONTROLLED BY BY ISRAEL.
IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.
YOU ABOUT ETHNIC CLEANSING.
YOU TALK ABOUT GENOCIDE.
WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT
HISTORY.
WHAT HAPPENED UNDER JORDANIAN
RULE SUPPOSEDLY MODERN MODERATE
JORDANIAN.
IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF
HAMAS WAS UNLEASHED?
WE'VE ALREADY SEEN IT HAPPEN.
GO BACK TO 2006 WHERE JUST
BECAUSE YOU WERE OF A DIFFERENT
POLITICAL PARTY IF YOU WERE A
FATAH IN GAZA IN 2006, WHAT
THEY WOULD DO TO YOU IS TAKE
YOU TO THE TOP OF A BUILDING
AND THROW YOU OVER.
THAT IS WHAT THEY DO.
HOW COULD YOU EVER WITH THEM
AND SAY THIS IS SOMEHOW US A
BLOW FOR FREEDOM?
WE WANT FREEDOM.
NOW YOU DON'T.
PLEASE WAKE UP.
LOOK AT THE IDEOLOGY BEHIND IT.
PAY ATTENTION TO IT.
LEARN THE HISTORY AND WILL
ABSOLUTELY SAY NO.
WE STAND WITH ISRAEL.
IN OTHER NEWS, THE DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION IS CALLING OUT TO
FOR FAILING TO ASSESS IF
ANTI-ISRAEL PROTESTS CREATED A
HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT ON CAMPUS.
FROM GRAHAM HAS THAT STORY AND
MORE FROM THE CBN NEWSROOM
AFTER GORDON THE DOE REPORT
SAYS THE UNIVERSITY MICHIGAN
AND CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK
FAILED TO ACT TO PROTECT
STUDENTS AND STAFF BY FAILING
TO INVESTIGATE IN SPECIFIC
INCIDENTS BY PROTESTERS CREATED
A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT ON CAMPUS
AND IF SO BY NOT TAKING STEPS
TO END THAT ENVIRONMENT
ANTI-ISRAEL.
PROTESTS BROKE OUT ON CAMPUSES
ACROSS THE NATION THIS SPRING.
THE DEPARTMENT 75 COMPLAINTS AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AND
AGAINST CUNY.
IN ONE INSTANCE A PROTESTER U
OF M YELLED NAZI LIBERATION BUT
SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS TOOK NO
DIRECT ACTION.
SCHOOL LEADERS AGREED TO
ADMINISTER CLIMATE ASSESSMENT
ON CAMPUS AND PROVIDE MORE
TRAINING FOR STAFF.
THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION HAS
106 INVESTIGATIONS PENDING INTO
K THROUGH 12 SCHOOLS AND
UNIVERSITIES FROM VIOLENT AND
SEXUAL CONTENT TO BULLYING AND
HARASSMENT.
THE
SOCIAL MEDIA IS DANGEROUS TO
CHILDREN AND HE'S CALLING FOR
URGENT ACTION TO PROTECT THEM.
THIS COMES AMID GROWING
RESEARCH POINTING TO SOCIAL
MEDIA AS TO YOUNG PEOPLE'S
MENTAL HEALTH.
CBN'S BRODY CARTER REPORTS.
EVERYONE KNOWS SOMEONE WHO'S
BEEN HARMED BY MEDIA.
EVERYONE KNOWS A GIRL WHO IS
CUTTING HERSELF OUT OF ANXIETY.
SO THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM
ANY PREVIOUS PANIC.
SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGIST AND
BESTSELLING AUTHOR JONATHAN
HAIDT THE RISE IN MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES TO THE WIDESPREAD USE OF
SMARTPHONES AND HANDHELD
DEVICES AND THE SCIENCE WOULD
SEEM TO BACK THAT UP.
SEVERAL SHOW ADOLESCENTS
SPENDING MORE THAN 3 HOURS A
DAY ON SOCIAL MEDIA REPORT HIGH
LEVELS OF ANXIETY AND
DEPRESSION INCREASE THAT TO
FIVE OR MORE HOURS AND A
SUICIDAL RISK FACTOR INTO PLAY.
TEENAGERS ALREADY SPEND AN
AVERAGE OF 4 TO 6 HOURS ONLINE
EACH DAY.
THESE NUMBERS ARE DRIVING U.S.
SURGEON GENERAL DR. VIVEK
MURTHY TO CALL FOR DRASTIC
ACTION.
NOW A WARNING LABEL WOULD
HELP PARENTS TO UNDERSTAND
THESE RISKS.
HIS IDEA OF TOBACCO STYLE
WARNING LABELS WOULD REQUIRE
ACTION.
KEEP IN MIND WHEN CONGRESS
AUTHORIZED THESE LABELS FOR
TOBACCO MORE THAN HALF A
CENTURY AGO, NEARLY HALF A
CENTURY AGO, SMOKING RATE IN
AMERICA WAS ABOUT 40%.
TODAY IT'S UNDER 12%.
THAT'S AN EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT
OF PROGRESS.
LABELS WERE A PART OF THAT
EFFORT.
DR. MURTHY ALSO WANTS
CONGRESS TO PROTECT CHILDREN
FROM HARMFUL ONLINE CONTENT AND
COMPANIES COLLECTING SENSITIVE
DATA.
A GROUNDBREAKER FLORIDA LAW
COULD PAVE THE WAY FOR OTHER
STATES SEEKING TO DO THAT.
WE KNOW FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT
WE KNOW FROM OUR PROSECUTORS
THAT SOCIAL MEDIA IS THE
PRIMARY PLATFORM IN WHICH
CHILDREN ARE TRAFFICKED.
FLORIDA HOUSE SPEAKER PAUL
RENNER PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE
UPDATING A LAW THAT WOULD
PREVENT KIDS UNDER 14 FROM
USING SOCIAL MEDIA AND PROHIBIT
MINORS FROM ACCESSING
PORNOGRAPHY BECAUSE THEY'RE
TRULY.
THESE PLATFORMS ARE USING
ADDICTION NOT JUST FOR KIDS BUT
FOR ADULTS TO KEEP US ONLINE,
KEEP THOSE EYEBALLS ONLINE AS
LONG AS POSSIBLE.
SO WE DO SEE OTHER STATES
LOOKING AT WHAT WE'VE DONE.
WE SEE THE NATIONAL
CONVERSATION.
ON A LARGER PERSPECTIVE.
DR. HITE ARGUES SOCIAL MEDIA
ALTERED SOCIAL INTERACTION TO
SUCH A DEGREE AMONG CHILDREN
THAT HISTORIC SOCIAL NORMS HAVE
BEEN DISRUPTED.
WE USED TO HAVE A PLAY BASED
CHILDHOOD FOR THE LAST 50
MILLION YEARS.
THAT'S WHAT MAMMALS DO.
THEY PLAY YOUNG MAMMALS MUST
PLAY A LOT.
IF YOU'VE EVER HAD A PUPPY YOU
KNOW THAT.
BUT WE TOOK OUR CHILDREN IN THE
NINETIES AND SAID NO MORE OF
THAT, NO MORE OUTSIDE PLAY HAVE
TO BE SUPERVISED.
ALL THE TYPES OF THE LOSS OF
THE PLAY BASED CHILDHOOD SET
THEM UP FOR A KIND OF A
WEAKNESS AND FRAGILITY.
SOCIAL MEDIA STOCKS TOOK A
DIP YESTERDAY AFTER THE SURGEON
GENERAL'S CALL TO ACTION.
NOW AMERICANS ARE WAITING.
SEE HOW TECH GIANTS LIKE METTA
AX AND TIC TAC RESPOND.
BRODY CARTER, CBN NEWS.
WE TURN NOW THE WHITE HOUSE
WHERE TODAY PRESIDENT BIDEN
ANNOUNCES A BROAD NEW
IMMIGRATION.
THE EXECUTIVE ACTION EXTENDS
LEGAL PROTECTION TO SPOUSES US
CITIZENS WHO ARE IN THE COUNTRY
ILLEGALLY.
THE IN PLACE PROGRAM APPLIES TO
THOSE WHO HAVE LIVED IN THE US
FOR TEN YEARS.
IT WILL SHIELD ABOUT 500,000
PEOPLE FROM DEPORTATION AND
OFFER WORK PERMITS.
A PUBLIC ART PROJECT
CELEBRATING IS GAINING NATIONAL
ATTENTION.
CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE
MURALS PORTRAYING THE FIGHT FOR
EQUALITY.
THE ARTIST TELLS CBN NEWS HE'S
USING HIS FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
TO SPREAD A MESSAGE FOR FUTURE
FREEDOM FIGHTERS.
LAURIE JOHNSON.
EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD I
DREAMED OF CREATING AND SO I
LIVE A HEIGHTENED SENSE OF AND
THEN I GET TO DO WHAT I LOVE.
YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THE ART OF
REGINALD C ADAMS IN YOUR CITY.
DRIVEN HIS DEEP GRATITUDE FOR
FREEDOM, ADAMS IS SPREADING THE
AND EVEN MISREPRESENTED HISTORY
OF BY BRINGING ITS HISTORY TO
LIFE THROUGH MURALS.
TWO AND A HALF YEARS AFTER
THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION,
OVER 250,000 ENSLAVED BLACK
TEXANS WERE STILL HELD CAPTIVE.
AND SO IT TOOK THE ARMY AND
THIS DECLARATION WHICH WE
RECOGNIZE AS THE GENERAL ORDER
SPECIFICALLY GENERAL NUMBER
THREE.
THAT ORDER FORCED THE LONE
STAR STATE TO GIVE TEXAS SLAVES
ABSOLUTE EQUALITY TWO RIGHTS
AND FREEDOM.
WHICH IS HOW THE PROJECT GOT
ITS NAME.
ABSOLUTELY EQUALITY ISN'T A
DESTINATION.
IT'S A JOURNEY.
IT'S A PURSUIT AND IT'S
MANIFESTED IN THE COLLABORATION
OF PEOPLE COMING FROM DIFFERENT
BACKGROUNDS DIFFERENT
PERSPECTIVES, DIFFERENT
REALITIES.
THE PROJECT IN GALVESTON,
TEXAS, THE BIRTHPLACE OF
JUNETEENTH NOW 13 MURALS
STRETCH ACROSS MAJOR U.S.
INCLUDING WASHINGTON HONORING
PROMINENT AFRICAN LIKE
FREDERICK DOUGLASS.
I THOUGHT TO MYSELF IF
FREDERICK DOUGLASS WAS ALIVE,
WOULD HE WANT JUST ANOTHER
PORTRAIT OF HIMSELF?
PROBABLY NOT.
HE PROBABLY COULD CARE LESS TO
SEE HIMSELF HE PROBABLY BE
INTERESTED IN A MESSAGE,
SOMETHING AROUND EDUCATION OR
LITERACY BECAUSE HE WAS AN
ADVOCATE EDUCATION.
THESE MURALS AIM TO INSPIRE
CONVERSATION AND ABOUT THE
HISTORY OF EQUALITY HELPING
ONLOOKERS APPRECIATE OUR
DIVERSE HERITAGE AND THINK
CRITICALLY ABOUT WORLD AROUND
THEM.
SOCIALLY WE HAVE CERTAIN
FORCES ARE TRYING TO BAN BOOKS
BANNED HISTORY.
IT'S HARD TO BAN PUBLIC ART
WHEN YOU PUT A MESSAGE ON MAIN
ON A MAJOR INTERSECTION.
NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE YOU GET
EXPOSURE AND ACCESS TO THAT
MESSAGE.
ADAMS PLANS TO CONTINUE
GROWING THE PROJECT WITH THE
GOAL OF CREATING MURALS IN
SEVEN MORE CITIES BY 2025.
IN WASHINGTON LORIE JOHNSON,
CBN NEWS.
SEE THOSE MURALS AND I HEAR
THE FREEDOM SONG OH FREEDOM OH
OVER ME GAWD.
AND LET'S PROCLAIM THAT
LET'S PROCLAIM LIBERTY
THROUGHOUT THE LAND.
THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS IT'S
IN LEVITICUS CHAPTER 25 VERSE
TEN.
IT'S ON OUR LIBERTY BELL AS WE
RANG THE LIBERTY BELL.
THAT WAS THE CRY THROUGHOUT THE
AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
AND IT TOOK SO LONG IT TOOK
UNTIL JUNE 19TH, 1865 FOR THAT
LIBERTY TO BE FOR ALL HERE IN
THE UNITED STATES.
LET'S CONTINUE TO PROCLAIM THEM
LIBERTY.
LET'S CONTINUE TO PROCLAIM
FREEDOM.
THESE ARE WONDERFUL THINGS AND
LET'S ASPIRE IN OUR CHURCHES
THAT WE TAKE THE LEAD IN US
THAT WE TRULY BECOME ONE IN
CHRIST.
NEITHER JUNE OR GREEK SLAVE NOR
FREE OR FEMALE FOR WE'RE ALL
DISCIPLES STAY CONNECTED CBN
NEWS ALL DAY ACROSS OUR
PLATFORMS.
WELL ISRAELI FARMERS WERE
HIT HARD AT.
IT'S ALL OVER AS A RESULT OF
WHAT HAPPENED ON OCTOBER 7TH.
WHILE LOCALS HAVE JUMPED IN TO
HELP.
IT HASN'T BEEN ENOUGH TO MAKE
UP THE SHORTFALL?
AMERICAN FARMERS ARE THEIR MUCH
NEEDED SKILLS TO ISRAEL'S
FIELDS.
CBN EAST CORRESPONDENT JULIE
STAHL REPORTS HERE ON MOSHAV
DEKEL NEAR GAZA WAR FARMERS
FROM HARVESTING THIS EGGPLANT
CROP THEY HAVE BEEN HARVESTED
IN AND OF NOVEMBER-DECEMBER AND
THERE WAS NO WORKERS.
SO IN A VERY LITERAL SENSE THE
IN ISRAEL THE HARVEST IS
PLENTIFUL AND THE WORKERS ARE
FEW.
WE DIDN'T HAVE WATER FOR OUR
CROPS AND IN OCTOBER IT WAS
VERY HOT HERE AND THEN AFTER
THE WATER BACK
LIVE.
WE USED TO HAVE A FOREIGN
WORKERS FROM THAILAND.
THAT'S WHEN AUTHOR HERSHEY
STEPPED IN TO HELP BY ARRANGING
TRIPS FOR FARMERS.
COME HERE.
I HAVE A COMPANY CALLED EZRA
ADVENTURES THAT IS A TRAVEL
COMPANY FOR SMALL GROUPS BUT IN
HEBREW.
EZRA OR EZRA MEANS HELP WHEN
YOU HAVE SPECIFIC SKILLS FROM
THE STATES THAT CONNECT WITH
SPECIFIC IN ISRAEL AND TO BE
ABLE TO BLEND THOSE.
IT'S REALLY BEEN AMAZING
HONOR TO GIVE A FARMER HERE IS
ALSO HEAD OF SECURITY IT'S
INCREDIBLE THAT GUYS FROM
ANOTHER COUNTRY DECIDE TO COME
HERE WITH ON THEIR OWN MONEY
AND ON THEIR OWN SPARE TIME.
THEY'RE ALSO FARMERS AS IS
US.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
THESE VOLUNTEERS BEHIND ME
ARE PICKING STRAWBERRIES LESS
THAN TWO MILES FROM THE GAZA
BORDER.
IF THEY WEREN'T HERE HELPING
OUT THESE STRAWBERRIES WOULDN'T
LIKELY GO TO MARKET.
WE HEARD THAT THERE IS A BIG
NEED IN THIS AREA SINCE A LOT
OF THE FARMERS WERE CALLED INTO
THE RESERVES AND MILITARY THAT
A LOT OF THE CROPS WERE GOING
UNHARVESTED.
THIS IS KATIE SHORTER'S
FIRST TIME IN ISRAEL PICKING
STRAWBERRIES AT HOME WE WOULD
BE PICKING THEM DOWN ON THE
GROUND AND NOT UP IN THE AIR.
SO THIS VERY COOL TO SEE.
THE PEOPLE HERE ARE FANTASTIC
THOUGH.
THEY'RE GOING THROUGH WAR RIGHT
NOW.
THEY'RE SO GIVING.
AT THE TIME KELLY ZIMMERMAN,
ANOTHER FIRST TIMER SAYS SHE TO
LINK ARMS AND GIVE SUPPORT.
I THINK THERE'S NO BETTER
WAY THAN TO SHOW UP IN AND
WE'VE EXPERIENCED THAT.
IT MEANS A LOT TO PEOPLE HERE
AND.
SO IT'S BEEN A BEAUTIFUL
THING SO FAR.
BUT YOU CAME DURING WAR.
WERE YOU AFRAID?
NO.
I LOVE.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO TELL
PEOPLE WHEN YOU GO HOME, COME
TO ISRAEL, EXPERIENCE FOR
YOURSELF.
BELLA, WHO OWNS THE
STRAWBERRY GREENHOUSES, SAYS
WITHOUT VOLUNTEERS SHE WOULDN'T
HAVE HAD A CROP OR INCOME.
THE VOLUNTEERS DID SO MUCH.
I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH WORDS.
THANK THEM FOR WHAT THEY DID.
DANNY WHOSE IDENTITY IS HIDDEN
FOR SECURITY REASONS, SAYS FOR
THE LAST SIX MONTHS THIS AREA
HAS FELT FROZEN IN TIME.
BUT THE VOLUNTEERS ARE HELPING
BRING IT BACK TO LIFE.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT
THESE VOLUNTEERS?
IT'S AMAZING.
IT'S AMAZING.
AFTER THE SEVEN OF OCTOBER, YOU
KNOW, AFTER A FEW MONTHS IT'S
IT'S IT'S TIME FOR US TO TO
PUSH AND THESE PEOPLE WE KNOW
WOULD BE HARD TO HELP US KNOW.
PENNSYLVANIA FARMERS JOHN
CRIDER AND JIM SHATZER ARE
HELPING DANNY.
WE'RE ALL FARMERS.
WE ARE.
WE WORKING HARD.
WE LOVE AGRICULTURE.
WE LOVE WORKING WITH FARMERS
WHOLE ATMOSPHERE.
SO IT'S A JUST A CHANCE TO
SERVE AT WE'RE GOOD AT.
THIS MORNING WE WERE CUTTING
DOWN TREES THAT ARE AROUND A
WATER SOURCE THAT HE IS GOING
TO BE FOR EXPANSION OF HIS
FIELDS.
AND THEIR MESSAGE WHEN THEY
GO JUST THAT THEY'RE GOOD
PEOPLE.
THEY'VE SUFFERED A LOT BUT
THEY'RE RESILIENT AND THEY'RE
FORGING AHEAD.
BUT BUT THEY NEEDED HELP.
IT'S A GREAT COUNTRY NOT TO BE
CLICHE BUT IT'S FLOWING WITH
MILK AND HONEY.
IT'S TO SEE GREEN FIELDS IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE DESERT.
HERSHEY SAYS THEY'RE
STEPPING INTO THE OF THE BIBLE
TO FULFILL PROPHECY.
ISAIAH 61 TALKS ABOUT
STRANGERS AND FOREIGNERS COMING
TO HELP BUT NOT JUST HELP
WORKING IN THE FIELDS, TENDING
THE FIELDS TENDING THE
VINEYARDS.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE
BEEN DOING.
HE ENCOURAGES OTHERS TO STEP UP
AND HELP.
THERE ARE TREMENDOUS NEEDS HERE
IN THIS LAND.
ISRAEL IS HEARTBROKEN.
THEY ARE STILL GRIEVING THE
LOSSES OF FRIENDS.
THEY'RE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT FAMILIES THAT ARE SCATTERED
ALL OVER THE PLACE.
THIS THE TIME TO SUPPORT
ISRAEL.
YOU CAN SUPPORT BY PRAYER.
YOU CAN SUPPORT BY FINANCIALLY
GIVING AND THERE ARE
OPPORTUNITIES WHETHER IT'S WITH
GROUPS WITH WITH MINE, WITH
OTHER ADVENTURES OR OTHER
OPPORTUNITIES.
THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO COME
AND HELP TO ACTUALLY BE
INVOLVED.
HE SAYS IT ALSO HONORS THE
COVENANT GOD MADE WITH THE
JEWISH PEOPLE FOREVER.
FOR CHRISTIANS, IF THEY'VE
ENJOYED THEIR JEWISH BIBLE AND
THEIR JEWISH THEY'VE ENJOYED
THE SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS OF
ISRAEL AND CHRISTIANS OWE A
DEBT.
ACCORDING TO ROMANS 15 AND THE
WAY YOU REPAY THAT DEBT IS TO
MINISTERED ISRAEL AND TO SERVE
ISRAEL WITH MATERIAL NEEDS IF
THERE'S EVER BEEN A TIME TO DO
THAT IT'S RIGHT NOW.
JULIE STAHL CBN NEWS MOSHAV
SOUTHERN ISRAEL THAT IS A
WONDERFUL DECLARATION AND IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SCRIPTURE AND
AND HOW CAN WE HELP ISRAEL
TODAY?
WELL I'VE BEEN TO THAT GAZA AND
YOU LOOK AT KFAR AZA WHICH IS
ONE OF THE KIBBUTZ THAT WAS
DEVASTATED ON SEVENTH.
THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE HAVE
HAVE QUESTIONS.
CAN WE CAN WE EVER GO BACK?
CAN WE EVER UNSEE WE SAW THAT
DAY.
IF WE IF WE GET WITHIN THAT
COMMUNITY WILL WE JUST BE
PLAGUED BY THE MEMORY OF IT?
AND IN THAT YOU LOSE WHO WAS
WORKING THAT LAND AND MAKING
THE DESERT BLOW.
AND HERE'S A FACT YOU MAY NOT
KNOW 60% OF ALL THE PRODUCE FOR
ISRAEL COMES THAT GAZA
ENVELOPE.
IT'S A HUGE NEED AND IT'S
WONDERFUL TO SEE PEOPLE FROM
AMERICA GOING THERE AND SAYING
WE CAN HELP YOU.
WE CAN BE A PART OF IT IF
YOU'VE IF YOU AREN'T BRINGING
THE HARVEST THEN THAT'S A REAL
BIG PROBLEM.
IT'S A PROBLEM FOR FOR
ISRAEL AND LET'S THAT PROBLEM.
SO IF YOU AND YOUR CHURCH WOULD
LIKE TO GET INVOLVED WITH
PROJECTS IN ISRAEL YOU CAN FIND
MORE INFORMATION.
THAT'S ONE 800 9406133.
WELL D ONE WENT VIRAL WITH
HIS FIRST RECORD J 50 AND WEEZY
IN IT HE CALLED OUT THE THREE
BIGGEST NAMES IN RAP.
HE IMPLORED THEM TO PUT OUT A
DIFFERENT BETTER AND HE'S
SHOWING THEM HOW TO DO JUST
THAT.
TOP TEN BILLBOARD CHARTING
EMMY NOMINATED RAPPER D
ONE WENT FROM BEING A MIDDLE
SCHOOL TEACHER IN LOUISIANA TO
A HARVARD EDUCATOR AND HIP HOP
HEAVYWEIGHT.
HE IS A BOLD AND OUTSPOKEN
FIGURE IN THE HIP HOP INDUSTRY
WHO ENCOURAGES OTHERS TO
PROMOTE MUSIC THAT GLORIFIES
MURDER DRUGS OR THE DISRESPECT
OF WOMEN.
HIS UNIQUE STYLE AND LYRICS
CONVEY A MESSAGE OF HOPE AND
POSITIVITY THAT IS EMBRACED BY
MILLIONS AROUND THE WORLD.
IT'S BASED WELL D ONE IS
HERE WITH US NOW.
D ONE WELCOME TO THE 700
CLUB.
I'M SO EXCITED TO CHAT WITH YOU
TODAY.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME TO BE
HERE HONESTLY.
OH MY GOODNESS.
WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE YOU.
WE REALLY ARE.
WELL, BEFORE WE GET INTO ALL
THE AMAZING THINGS THAT YOU'RE
DOING WITH YOUR MUSIC AND YOUR
PLATFORM I WANT TO GO BACK TO
YOUR CHILDHOOD.
YOU GREW UP IN NEW ORLEANS.
WHAT WAS YOUR CHILDHOOD
LIKE?
DID YOU GROW UP IN A CHRISTIAN
HOME?
SO I GREW UP IN A CATHOLIC
HOME SO MY WHOLE FAMILY IN NEW
ORLEANS IS CATHOLIC.
WE GREW UP I GREW UP GOING TO
CHURCH ON SUNDAYS I WOULD GO TO
CATECHISM SUNDAY SCHOOL.
I MADE FIRST COMMUNION HIS
SECOND GRADE CONFIRMATION IN
EIGHTH GRADE AND I GREW UP WITH
THAT FOUNDATION OF KNOWING AND
UNDERSTANDING WHO GOD WAS.
BUT I
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAVING
KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AND HAVING A
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
AND IT WASN'T UNTIL GOT TO
COLLEGE THAT I REALIZED CHURCH
JUST KIND OF TURNED INTO
SOMETHING YOU DO ON A SUNDAY IS
AS TRADITION FOR ME AND IT WAS
I GOT TO COLLEGE THEN I FORMED
A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS
CHRIST ON MY OWN AND IT'S
TOTALLY DIFFERENT WHEN YOU HAVE
DECIDED WHAT IT IS THAT YOU'RE
BELIEVING IN BECAUSE YOU
UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR IT.
YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
WELL, LET'S LET'S TALK ABOUT
THAT.
LET'S FAST FORWARD TO THOSE
YEARS WHEN YOU WERE A FRESHMAN
AT LSU THAT'S YOU GOT HIT WITH
JUST A FEW DIFFERENT LIFE
ALTERING EVENTS THAT EVENTUALLY
LED YOU TO HAVE THAT PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS.
CAN YOU JUST TALK ABOUT THAT
SEASON OF YOUR LIFE.
SURE.
SO I WENT TO LSU AS THE STAR
BASKETBALL PLAYER IN MY HIGH
SCHOOL AND I GOT CUT FROM LSU
AS TEAM.
I WENT TO LSU WITH A GIRLFRIEND
AND SHE SHE ENDED UP KICKING ME
TO THE CURVE IN FAVOR OF A
FOOTBALL PLAYER ON LSU, HIS
TEAM.
I WENT TO LSU WITH A BEST
FRIEND FROM NEW ORLEANS WHO WAS
MY ROOMMATE AND HE GOT TO
SCHOOL AND DECIDED WE WANT TO
START DRUGS.
SO HE AND I FELL OUT AND I GOT
TO LSU WITH A REALLY GOOD
FRIEND WHO I GREW UP WITH IN
ORLEANS GOING TO CHURCH WE HAD
PLAYING ON A BASEBALL TEAM WITH
AND I GOT THE INFORMATION IN
NEWS ONE DAY VIA TEXT MESSAGE
THAT HE HAD JUST GOTTEN
MURDERED IN A SIDE OF ONE OF
THE PARKS NEAR NEAR WHERE WE
GREW UP.
SO SO MANY THINGS THAT WERE
NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART BACK
THEN GOT STRIPPED FROM ME REAL
QUICK REAL QUICK AND I REALIZED
THAT MY FOUNDATION TO BE BUILT
UPON SOMETHING OR SOMEONE THAT
WAS IMMOVABLE THAT WOULD NEVER
CHANGE THE WORD OF GOD AND THAT
WOULD CHANGE THE LIFE THAT
JESUS CHRIST LIVED WOULD NEVER
CHANGE AND MATTER WHAT PEOPLE
SAY THAT IS THE BEST THING TO
BUILD YOUR FOUNDATION ON
BECAUSE THIS WORLD SPECIALIZES
IN STATE AND SPECIALIZES AND
MAKING THINGS DOWN HERE LOOKS
SO APPEALING THAT WE WANT TO
CONNECT TO IT REAL STRONG AND
BUILD OUR FOUNDATION IT BUT
THEN SOON AS WE HAVE THIS BLIND
LOYALTY THINGS OF THIS WORLD WE
GET OUR HEART BROKEN EVERY
SINGLE TIME.
JESUS IS LITERALLY THE ONLY WAY
AND THAT'S THE BEST DECISION I
EVER MADE.
OH MY GOODNESS.
YOU'RE PREACHING AND I LOVE IT.
YES.
AND AMEN.
WELL, WHAT I THINK IS SO
AMAZING ABOUT YOUR STORY IS YOU
BECAME A MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER.
HOW DID HOW DID GOD LEAD YOU TO
BECOME A MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER
AND THEN HOW DOES A MIDDLE
SCHOOL TEACHER BECOME AN AWARD
WINNING RAPPER?
CAN YOU JUST TAKE US ON THAT
JOURNEY?
YES.
I WAS A BUSINESS MAJOR COLLEGE.
TWO MONTHS BEFORE GRADUATION I
WAS PLAYING BASKETBALL NEAR MY
APARTMENT COMPLEX.
THREE GUYS WALKED UP TO THE
COURT AND WE ME AND MY FRIEND
WERE VICTIMS OF AN ARMED
ROBBERY.
SO THIS THEY HAD A GUN TO MY
TEMPLE RIGHT HERE AND WERE
LITERALLY THREATENING TO BLOW
MY BRAINS OUT BECAUSE THEY
THOUGHT THAT WE HAD BROKEN INTO
THEIR FRIEND'S CAR WHO WAS
VISITING THAT APARTMENT COMPLEX
.
WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE
TALKING ABOUT BUT WHEN I HAD
HIS GUN PRESSED RIGHT HERE ON
MY TEMPLE IN THAT MOMENT I WAS
LITERALLY THINKING MAN, MY LIFE
IS ABOUT TO BE OVER WITH.
AND IT WAS SO MUCH MORE GOOD
THAT I KNOW COULD HAVE DONE BUT
I WAS SIMPLY EITHER FOCUSED ON
CHASING MONEY I WAS JUST
FOCUSED ON FITTING IN FOR THE
IN CROWD TOO MUCH WHEN I MADE
IT THROUGH THAT ORDEAL BY THE
GRACE OF GOD I TOLD MYSELF
CHASING IMPACT OVER INCOME FROM
THIS DAY FORWARD SO WE COULD
MAKE MORE AND MORE IMPACT IN
BEING A TEACHER AND BEING WITH
STUDENTS DAY OR YOUNG AND
IMPRESSIONABLE.
THAT'S WHAT MADE ME SWITCH FROM
A BUSINESS MAJOR TO BECOMING A
TEACHER.
SO THAT WAS THE TEACHING ROUTE
AND THEN LATER WITH THE TEACHER
I BECAME A RAPPER BECAUSE I SAW
THAT MY STUDENTS WERE SO
INFATUATED WITH LEARNING THE
LYRICS TO THEIR FAVORITE HIP
HOP SONGS, THEIR FAVORITE RAP
SONGS DOING ALL THE POPULAR
DANCES.
SO IT MADE ME SAY WHAT IF I
COULD GET INTO THAT INDUSTRY
AND HAVE THAT LEVEL OF
INFLUENCE BUT HAVE THE HEART OF
A MAN OF GOD A PROUD CHRISTIAN
AND AN EDUCATOR AND THAT'S WHAT
THEY WANT IS.
WOW, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.
WELL, YOUR FIRST RECORD CALLED
OUT THE SEX DRUGS AND VIOLENCE
THAT HAS BEEN GLORIFIED BY THE
BIGGEST NAMES IN RAP AND HIP
HOP AND YOUR MESSAGE RESONATED
WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE.
BUT IT ALSO ROCKED THE BOAT FOR
MANY PEOPLE.
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?
I THINK THAT PEOPLE LOVE TO
LOVE TO FORM A BOND EVIL AND
HIDE BEHIND THIS WORD CALLED
ENTERTAINMENT.
PEOPLE LOVE TO SAY OH, WE JUST
COME BY AND AROUND KILLING.
WE ARE JUST MAKING ANTHEMS
ABOUT DISRESPECTING WOMEN.
BUT WHENEVER IT GETS CALLED
OUT THEY LOVE TO SAY IT'S JUST
ART, IT'S JUST CREATIVITY, IT'S
JUST ENTERTAINMENT AND THAT IS
A PROBLEM Y'ALL THINK DOES
ANYONE WHO'S WATCHING THIS
THINK THAT GOD CARES ABOUT
SAYING YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU'RE
RIGHT.
WE NEED BALANCE INSIDE OF HIP
HOP.
WE NEED SOME MURDER MUSIC, SOME
MUSIC GLORIFYING SELLING DRUGS.
OUR NEED MUSIC IS GLORIFYING A
GOD AND PROCLAIMING THE TRUTH
AND THE WORD NO.
THIS WHOLE IDEA THIS WHOLE
NOTION OF WE NEED BALANCE THAT
WE NEED BOTH.
THAT IS A TRICK RIGHT THERE
FROM SATAN LIKE THAT IS
SOMETHING3 4 F1 THE MUSIC GOT TA
CHILDREN'S BOOK.
YOU CAN GO TO MY WEBSITE, BE
THE NUMBER ONE MUSIC THAT COME
AND JUST PATRONIZE THE MUSIC
AND THE CHILDREN'S BOOKS AND

SAID, DO MY PERSONAL FAVORITE.
I LOVED IT.
WELL FRANKIE IS SLAMMED INTO
THE CONQUER RATE FLOOR ALL
AROUND HIM.
HE HEARD SCREAMS AT THAT
MOMENT HE KNEW WHAT HAD
HAPPENED.
HE HAD DIED AND NOW HE WAS IN
.
YOU KNOW IT'S OVER.
YOU'RE DONE.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT GETTING
OUT.
YOU GOT TO LISTEN TO YOUR MOM.
YOU GOT TO LISTEN TO YOUR DAD.
YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ALL YOUR
FRIENDS THAT TOLD YOU THAT
THERE IS A GOD AND THAT YOU
SHOULD FOLLOW THE WARDEN.
BUT YOU DIDN'T.
AND THIS IS WHERE YOU ARE NOW.
FRANKIE FRALEY GREW UP IN A
CHRISTIAN HOME BUT PERSONALLY
DIDN'T BELIEVE IN GOD THINKING
IT WAS ALL JUST FANTASY.
BUT AFTER BEING HOSPITALIZED
WITH COVID 19, HE SOON CAME
A HARSH REALIZATION.
I CAN FEEL MYSELF FALLING AND I
FELL FOR A LONG WAYS UNTIL I
HIT WHAT FELT LIKE CONCRETE AND
YOU COULD HEAR PEOPLE SCREAMING
AND I JUST REMEMBER THINKING
LIKE SOMEHOW I HAVE DIED AND
NOW I'M IN.
WHEN MY GIRLS ARE BORN THEY
WERE BORN PREMATURE AND IN.
I GOT TO WATCH THAT NOT TURN
OUT SO WELL OVER AND OVER AND
OVER LIKE THE NURSES COME IN
AND SAY OH THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT
OH, THIS ONE DIDN'T MAKE IT.
IT'S LIKE THE WORST THINGS THAT
COULD HAVE EVER HAPPENED TO YOU
IN THIS LIFE IN HAPPENED EVERY
DAY.
THERE'S NO HOPE FOR TOMORROW.
THE SUN'S NOT COMING UP AGAIN.
IT'S OVER.
THIS IS YOUR HOME NOW AND YOU
ARE ABSOLUTELY COMPLETELY
MISERABLE.
MEANWHILE, HIS WIFE ASHLEY
WAS AFRAID SHE WOULD LOSE
FRANKIE AS HIS CONDITION
WORSENED AND HE WAS PUT ON A
VENTILATOR.
SHE TOO IDENTIFIED AS AN
ATHEIST DUE IN PART TO HAVING
BEEN HURT BY PROFESSING
CHRISTIANS.
BUT IN THAT MOMENT SHE FOUND
HERSELF PRAYING TO A GOD SHE
DIDN'T BELIEVE IN.
HEARING HIS DOCTOR BASICALLY
SAY THAT THERE WASN'T MUCH THEY
COULD DO FOR HIM WAS THE
SCARIEST THING THAT I HAVE EVER
HEARD.
I WASN'T STRAIGHT TO MY BEDROOM
AWAY FROM THE KIDS AND I JUST
DROPPED TO MY KNEES AND I JUST
FELT IN MY HEART I CAN'T EVEN
EXPLAIN WHY BECAUSE I DIDN'T
BELIEVE IN GOD BUT I JUST FELT
IN MY HEART YOU NEED TO TURN TO
GOD AND I SAID GOD, IF YOU CAN
HELP HIM I WILL CHANGE.
PLEASE HELP HIM.
AND I JUST FELT THIS PIECE THAT
YOU CANNOT EVEN EXPLAIN COME
OVER ME.
I HEARD HIM IN MY HEART SAY YOU
DON'T HAVE TO WORRY.
I'M GOING TO HEAL HIM.
THAT'S WHEN EVERYTHING JUST
CLICKED FOR ME.
LIKE HE'S REAL.
THIS IS IT.
HE'S REAL.
THIS IS ALL THE PROOF THAT I'VE
EVER WANTED IN MY LIFE.
DAYS PASSED AND FRANKIE WASN'T
GETTING BETTER.
ASHLEY WAS UNDETERRED THOUGH
SHE CONTINUED TO PRAY BELIEVING
FOR US HEALING UP TO THIS POINT
SHE'D STRUGGLED WITH DEPRESSION
AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE, ISOLATING
HERSELF.
BUT NOW SHE BEGAN REACHING OUT
TO OTHER BELIEVERS ASKING FOR
THEM TO PRAY AS WELL.
THE FACT THAT I WAS ABLE TO ASK
PEOPLE FOR A PRAYER FOR FRANKIE
AND THAT THEY WERE COMING
THROUGH IT WAS KIND OF LIKE
REDEEMING MY PAST LIKE WHERE
I'D BEEN HURT BY THE CHURCH.
IT WAS IT FELT LIKE GOD WAS
SHOWING ME, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE
MY PEOPLE LIKE THIS IS WHAT
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO.
AND IT WAS JUST SO COMFORTING
AND PEOPLE SHOWED UP FOR US IN
JUST A WAY THAT I HAVE NEVER
SEEN.
AS ASHLEY RALLIED PEOPLE TO
PRAY.
FRANKIE WAS STILL LOST IN.
AND ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS
MY WIFE AND MY KIDS.
I WAS REALLY WORRIED THAT THEY
MIGHT END UP HERE WHILE RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS THIS
ANGUISH BEING ALMOST PHYSICALLY
GRABBED AND PULLED UP.
AND I CAN JUST REMEMBER GROWING
UP REALLY, REALLY FAST AND IT'S
LIKE NIGHTTIME ALMOST LIKE
FLYING THROUGH SPACE AND THEN
JUST STOPPING.
IT WAS GOD WHO HAD PULLED ME
OUT.
IT WAS JUST SUCH A RELIEF.
IT'S LIKE FINALLY I DON'T HAVE
TO WONDER ABOUT THIS ANYMORE.
IS THERE A GOD?
IS ANY OF THIS REAL?
I'M FINALLY THERE WITH HIM.
MIRACULOUSLY FRANKIE'S
CONDITION THEN QUICKLY TURNED
FOR THE BETTER.
ONCE AWAKENED OFF THE
VENTILATOR, HE AND ASHLEY
SHARED WITH EACH OTHER ABOUT
THEIR ENCOUNTERS WITH GOD.
HEARING THEY WEREN'T FRANKIE
EXPERIENCED WAS EVEN MORE
CONFIRMATION IN FOR ME THAT GOD
IS REAL.
GOD LOVES US AND HE CARES ABOUT
US.
GOD HAD CHANGED BOTH OF US AT
THE SAME TIME.
TO HEAR HER SAY OR ACKNOWLEDGE
IN ANY WAY THAT THERE EVEN WAS
A GOD THAT ALONE MAYBE MADE ME
JUST WEEP BECAUSE I WAS JUST
VERY VERY OVERJOYED KNOWING I'M
GOING TO GET TO TRY THIS AGAIN.
I DON'T I DON'T HAVE TO MAKE
ALL THESE SAME STUPID MISTAKES.
I FINALLY GET TO GO TELL MY
KIDS ABOUT GOD.
FRANKIE FULLY RECOVERED OVER
THE COURSE OF THE NEXT MONTH
AND ASHLEY WAS DELIVERED FROM
HER DEPRESSION AND ADDICTIONS.
THEY HAVE SINCE STARTED PRAYING
TOGETHER AND TAKING THEIR
FAMILY TO CHURCH NOW THAT THEY
KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD.
THEY'RE EAGER TO SHARE HIS HOPE
WITH THE WORLD.
JUST AS SOON AS I WAS ABLE
TO SPEAK GOOD ENOUGH TO BE
UNDERSTOOD I WAS TELLING ANYONE
THAT WOULD LISTEN ABOUT GOD,
ABOUT WHAT I'D SEEN.
HEY, DID YOU KNOW HEAVEN AND
AND GOD AND JESUS ALL THAT'S
REAL.
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
THAT'S NOT VERY OFTEN YOU HEAR
SOMEONE BEING THAT FAR GONE AND
GETTING A SECOND CHANCE ON A
SEEMINGLY GRATEFUL TO GOD TO
EVEN JUST BE HERE AT ALL?
I AM SO GRATEFUL TO GOD THAT
HE LET US HAVE FRANKIE BACK.
I BELIEVE MY FAMILY WENT
THROUGH THIS BECAUSE GOD LOVED
US ENOUGH TO CHASE US DOWN AND
SAY YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
CONTINUE LIVING THIS EMPTY LIFE
THAT IS LEADING TO NOWHERE LIKE
YOU'RE COMING HOME TO ME.
IT REALLY GIVES ME PEACE TO
KNOW THAT NO MATTER WHAT COULD
COME OUR WAY GOD'S THERE AND
HE'S LISTENING TO OUR PRAYERS.
HE LOVES US, HE CARES FOR US
AND HE'S ALREADY GOT IT TAKING
CARE OF.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL
ON HIM.
IT'S THAT SIMPLE.
DON'T MAKE IT COMPLICATED.
HE IS CHASING AFTER YOU FOR GOD
SO LOVED ALL PEOPLE.
THAT'S ONE WAY TO TRANSLATE.
JOHN 316 MOST TRANSLATIONS SAY
FOR GOD SO LOVE THE WORLD.
BUT IN THAT CONCEPT OF THE
WORLD THE JEWISH CONCEPT IS THE
PEOPLE OF THE WORLD FOR GOD'S
LOVED PEOPLE THAT HE GAVE HIS
ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT
WHOSOEVER WOULD BELIEVE ON HIM
WOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE
EVERLASTING LIFE.
LET ME REPEAT WHAT THE APOSTLE
PETER SAID.
THE FIRST SERMON OF THE
CHRISTIAN CHURCH THE FIRST
SERMON ON PENTECOST.
YOU CAN READ IT YOURSELF.
IT'S IN YOUR BIBLE TOO.
IT'S IN CHAPTER TWO.
WHOEVER CALLS ON THE NAME OF
THE LORD SHALL BE SAVED.
THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID ALL WHO
CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD
WILL BE SAVED.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS DO
THAT.
JUST DO THAT.
NOW WE JUST SAW A STORY WHERE
THEY DID THAT AND THEY WERE
SAYING WE'RE ATHEISTS.
WE DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD.
BUT YOU GET INTO A DESPERATE
SITUATION.
OKAY, WELL LET'S SEE IF THIS IS
REAL AND WHEN YOU DO WHEN YOU
GET ALL IN AND YOU SEEKING THEM
WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART, YOU
DON'T HAVE ANOTHER SOLUTION.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANOTHER PATHWAY.
YOU SAY GOD, I NEED YOU.
WELL, ALL WHO CALL UPON THAT
NAME OF THE LORD SHALL BE
SAVED.
NOW THAT WONDERFUL GREEK WORD
SOSO IS SAVED.
IT MEANS EVERYTHING.
IT MEANS HEALING DELIVERANCE
REMADE FROM THE AIR AND IT MUST
BE IT MEANS IT ALL AND YOU CAN
GET IT ALL.
THAT'S THE PROMISE OF JESUS.
YOU GET ALL THE BLESSINGS OF
GOD ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD
BECOME YES AND AMEN ALL THE
THINGS SPOKEN OVER ABRAHAM AND
HIS DESCENDANTS BECOME YOURS.
ALL OF THESE THINGS ALL OF
THESE WONDERFUL THINGS BECOME
YOURS BECAUSE ALL YOU DO IS
CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LAW.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT
BEFORE WE DO IT WE'VE GOT SOME
OTHER ANSWERS TO PRAYER JUST TO
ENCOURAGE YOUR FAITH.
HERE'S GREG.
I'VE BEEN SUFFERING WITH
PLANTAR FASCIITIS OF MY RIGHT
FOOT FOR A FEW MONTHS.
IT'S BEEN SEVERE.
SOMETHING DREW MY ATTENTION TO
THE 700 CLUB.
JUST AS ASHLEY WAS PRAYING SHE
PRAYED FOR SOMEONE WITH A FOOT
PROBLEM ESPECIALLY AROUND THE
HEEL.
WELL, MY FOOT BEGAN TO TINGLE
AND WHEN SHE FINISHED MY FOOT
WAS HEALED.
I'M SO THANKFUL.
HERE'S AN AMAZING ONE.
THIS IS JEANETTE AND SHE WROTE
IN IN 2008 I WAS IN NURSE'S
SCHOOL FINISHING MY R.N. I WAS
TAKING CARE OF A PATIENT WITH A
HERPES INFECTION I WAS WEARING
GLOVES BUT WHILE DOING
COMPLICATED WOUND CARE MY HAIR
FELL FORWARD INTO MY FACE.
I TRIED TO BRUSH IT BACK OUT OF
MY FACE WITH THE BACK OF MY
WRIST.
HOWEVER, THE GLOVE WAS A LITTLE
TOO BIG AND IT BRUSHED MY NOSE
.
I BECAME INFECTED WITH HERPES.
AFTER MY INITIAL BREAKOUT I
BEGAN HAVING VERY REGULAR
BREAKOUTS INSIDE MY NOSTRILS
AND OUTSIDE JUST BELOW THE
NOSTRILS.
I SUFFERED FOR YEARS THE
SUPPRESSION MEDICATION BEGAN TO
HARM MY KIDNEYS SO I HAD TO
STOP THEM.
IN APRIL I WAS WATCHING THE 700
CLUB WHEN TERRI PRAYED FOR MANY
PEOPLE WITH EMBARRASSING SKIN
CONDITIONS THAT WERE UNSIGHTLY,
ITCHY AND PAINFUL.
GORDON THEN PRAYED RIGHT AFTER
FOR SOMEONE WITH SPORADIC
ERUPTION ENDS.
GORDON SAID THAT THE PERSON WAS
NOT PRAYING FOR IT BUT GOD
WANTED TO CLEANSE AND RESTORE
THE CONDITION.
I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I DESERVED
THIS KIND OF MIRACLE BUT I
CLAIMED IT.
I TOLD MY HUSBAND I HAD BEEN
HEALED.
I HAVE NEVER HAD ANOTHER
OUTBREAK AND THE VIRUS IS GONE.
PRAISE GOD.
LET'S PRAY.
LORD GOD WE CALL ON YOU.
YOUR WORD SAYS ALL WHO CALL
UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD SHALL
BE SAVED.
WE CALL ON YOU AND WE ASK THAT
YOU WOULD STRETCH FORTH YOUR
HAND AND DO MIGHTY MIRACLES
TODAY.
WE DON'T DESERVE ANY OF YOUR
BLESSINGS BUT BECAUSE OF YOUR
GREAT LOVE TOWARDS US, BECAUSE
OF YOUR SACRIFICE FOR US,
BECAUSE OF ALL THE THINGS THAT
YOU HAVE PROMISED YOU HAVE
CAUSED US TO HOPE.
AND SO IN OUR HOPE WE CALL ON
YOU TO DO MIRACLES TODAY.
WE ASK IT IN JESUS NAME
ACTUALLY GOD'S GIVEN YOU
SOMETHING.
I BELIEVE SOMEBODY IS
WATCHING WITH A RIGHT HAND
RIGHT WRIST ISSUE.
I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S CARPAL
TUNNEL OR JUST SEVERE ARTHRITIS
IN THAT RIGHT WRIST YOU'RE
UNABLE TO WRITE ANYTHING OR
REALLY USE THAT HAND FOR
ANYTHING AND I
IS RESTORING THAT WRIST AND
THAT ARM TO YOU IN THE NAME OF
JESUS SOMEONE WITH
DIVERTICULITIS, A TWISTED
INTESTINE AND SOMEONE ELSE
YOU'VE GOT THE SORES IN YOUR
NOSE AND YOU'RE ASKING FOR ME
TO SAY THAT IN JESUS NAME BE
HEALED AND BE MADE WHOLE A MAN
AND A MAN IF YOU'VE BEEN HEALED
LET US KNOW.
CALL US 1-800-700-7000 IF YOU
NEED PRAYER SAME NUMBER
1-800-700-7000.
THE PRAYER OF FAITH WILL SAVE
ONE WHO IS SICK AND THE LORD
