LIFE TODAY ON THE 700 CLUB TY
EVERYONE WELCOME TO THE 700
CLUB AMANDA KNOX FOR TODAY'S
HEADLINES LET'S GO OVER TO THE
CBN NEWS DESK.
THANKS ANDREW.
REACTIONS TO THE SUPREME
COURT'S RULING GRANTING LIMITED
TO OCCUPANTS OF THE OVAL OFFICE
CAME A SWIFT AND STRONG
PRESIDENT BIDEN CONDEMNED IT AS
A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.
FORMER PRESIDENT FORMER
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP CALLED
IT A BIG WIN FOR THE
CONSTITUTION IN ADDITION TO ITS
HISTORICAL IMPACT, THE RULING
ALSO AFFECTS AN ELECTION CASE
AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP.
CBN'S GARY REPORTS FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN ITS 235 YEAR
HISTORY, THE U.S. SUPREME COURT
HAS CLARIFIED THE ISSUE OF
PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY, RULING 6
TO 3 THAT PRESIDENTS HAVE
ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY FOR OFFICIAL
ACTS AND PRESUMPTIVE IMMUNITY
FOR ACTIONS TAKEN OUTSIDE THE
PARAMETER OF THE DUTIES OF THE
OFFICE.
FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
THE CASE BEFORE THE COURT
CLAIMING HE HAD ABSOLUTE
IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION FOR
HIS OFFICIAL ACTS AS PRESIDENT
ON JANUARY SIX, 2021.
BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO
ANYTHING IF YOU DON'T HAVE
IMMUNITY BECAUSE OTHERWISE
YOU'RE GOING TO BE PROSECUTED
AFTER.
YOU LEAVE OFFICE AND A
MAJORITY OF THE JUSTICES AGREED
.
CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS
DELIVERED THE COURT'S OPINION
THAT QUOTE THE NATURE OF
PRESIDENTIAL POWER ENTITLES A
FORMER PRESIDENT TO ABSOLUTE
IMMUNITY FROM CRIMINAL
PROSECUTION FOR ACTIONS WITHIN
HIS CONCLUSIVE AND PRECLUDES OF
CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY AND.
HE'S ENTITLED TO AT LEAST
PRESUMPTIVE IMMUNITY FROM
PROSECUTION FOR ALL HIS
OFFICIAL ACTS.
THERE IS NO IMMUNITY FOR
UNOFFICIAL ACTS THE COURT IN A
RATHER COMPLICATED WAY CARVED
OUT A VERY LEVELS OF IMMUNITY
THAT A PRESIDENT MIGHT ENJOY
IMMEDIATELY THE RULING WAS
ANNOUNCED TRUMP POSTED ON TRUTH
SOCIAL BIG FOR OUR CONSTITUTION
AND DEMOCRACY PROUD TO BE AN
AMERICAN IN AN ADDRESS TO THE
NATION, PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID
THE RULING MEANS THERE ARE NO
LIMITS ON WHAT A PRESIDENT CAN
DO.
THIS IS A FUNDAMENTALLY NEW
PRINCIPLE AND IT'S A DANGEROUS
PRECEDENT BECAUSE THE POWER OF
THE OFFICE WILL NO LONGER BE
CONSTRAINED BY THE LAW EVEN
INCLUDING THE SUPREME COURT OF
THE UNITED STATES.
THE ONLY LIMITS WILL BE SELF
IMPOSED BY THE PRESIDENT ALONE
.
THE RULING KICKS THE JANUARY
SIX CASE DOWN TO THE FEDERAL
DISTRICT AND IT PUTS THE BURDEN
ON SPECIAL PROSECUTOR JACK
SMITH TO PROVE THE FORMER
PRESIDENT ACTED UNOFFICIALLY
AND WITH CRIMINAL AS A
CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT THAT
WILL BE HARD TO PROVE BECAUSE
THE SUPREME COURT SAYS HIS
CONTACTS WITH THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT AND VICE PRESIDENT
PENCE TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION
TOOK PLACE.
OFFICIAL ACTS WITHIN THE
PRESIDENT'S AUTHORITY WHEN
TRUMP'S PRESENTED ARGUMENTS
BEFORE THE COURT LAST APRIL,
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR ASKED IF
THERE SHOULD BE ANY LIMITS ON
PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS IF.
THE PRESIDENT DECIDES THAT HIS
IS A CORRUPT PERSON AND HE
ORDERS THE MILITARY OR SOMEONE
TO ASSASSINATE HIM.
IS THAT WITHIN OFFICIAL ACTS
THAT FOR WHICH HE CAN GET
IMMUNITY?
JUSTICE KAGAN AND JACKSON
AGREED WITH SOTOMAYOR VOTING
AGAINST THE DECISION.
IN THE DISSENT SOTOMAYOR WROTE
TODAY'S DECISION TO GRANT
FORMER PRESIDENTS CRIMINAL
IMMUNITY RESHAPES THE
INSTITUTION OF THE PRESIDENCY.
IT MAKES A OF THE PRINCIPLE
FOUNDATION TO OUR CONSTITUTION
AND SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THAT
NO MAN IS ABOVE THE LAW.
THE COURT GIVES FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP ALL THE
IMMUNITY HE ASKED FOR AND MORE
LEGAL EXPERTS AGREE THIS
UNPRECEDENTED HISTORIC RULING
WILL HAVE FAR REACHING
IMPLICATIONS NOT ONLY FOR
DONALD TRUMP BUT FUTURE
PRESIDENTS AS WELL.
AS A RESULT, THE SUPREME
COURT'S DECISION WILL LIKELY
JACK SMITH'S PROSECUTION OF THE
FORMER PRESIDENT UNTIL AFTER
NOVEMBER ELECTION.
AND PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOW
CITING THE RULING IN A MOVE
SEEKING TO OVERTURN HIS
CONVICTION IN NEW YORK LAST
MONTH AND FALSIFYING BUSINESS
RECORDS.
DESPITE THOSE ACTS BEING
COMMITTED BEFORE, HE WAS
PRESIDENT.
GARY LANE, CBN NEWS JOINING
US NOW IS CBN CHIEF POLITICAL
ANALYST DAVID BRODY.
SO DAVID, DONALD TRUMP IS
CELEBRATING THIS AS A VICTORY.
HOW WILL HE USE THIS TO HIS
ADVANTAGE ON THE CAMPAIGN
TRAIL?
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, IN THE
SHORT TERM AS GARY POINTED OUT
ABOUT JANUARY CASE IS GOING
NOWHERE BEFORE THE ELECTION.
SO THAT IS VICTORY RIGHT THERE
.
BUT BEYOND ALL OF THAT, THERE
IS GOING TO BE A SENSE BY
DONALD TRUMP HERE TO SAY ONCE
AGAIN, LOOK, WEAPONIZATION OF
GOVERNMENT AGAINST ME.
YOU KNOW, FOR DONALD TRUMP
THEY'RE COMING AFTER ME AND
EVEN THE SUPREME COURT AGREES
WITH ME.
AND ONCE AGAIN, HE'S GOING TO
BE ABLE TO SAY YOU SEE EVEN THE
SUPREME COURT HOW TO HOW TO
STOP THIS NONSENSE THAT'S
COMING UP AGAINST ME.
SO YOU KNOW ONCE AGAIN
POLITICALLY IT'S A WIN FOR
DONALD TRUMP.
HE'S BEEN OUT ON A BIG WIN
STREAK LATELY FOR SURE.
ON THE SIDE PRESIDENT BIDEN
IS CALLING THIS A DARK DAY AND
SAID IT'S THE LATEST IN A LINE
OF SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
ATTACKING ESTABLISHED LAW LIKE
,VOTING RIGHTS AND WOMEN'S
RIGHTS.
HOW IS HE GOING TO USE THIS
RULING FOR HIS PURPOSES?
WELL, HE'S GOING TO DO THE
OTHER THE FLIP SIDE OF THE
DEMOCRACY ARGUMENT.
HE'LL SAY IS A THREAT TO
DEMOCRACY.
YOU KNOW, DONALD TRUMP SAID
IT'S A BIG WIN FOR THE
CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY.
PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL SAY DONALD
TRUMP IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY.
THIS DECISION IS A THREAT TO
DEMOCRACY AND FROM A POLITICAL
STANDPOINT THIS ACTUALLY MAY
HELP BIDEN A LITTLE BIT TO
BASICALLY MAKE THE ARGUMENT
WHICH HAS DONE NOW THIS WEEK
AFTER THE SUPREME COURT RULING
TO SAY LOOK, IF THE SUPREME
COURT CAN GET IT RIGHT, THE
ONLY PEOPLE IN AMERICA THAT CAN
GET IT RIGHT NOW GET IT RIGHT
ARE THE VOTERS.
AND SO THEREFORE THAT'S GOING
TO GIVE BUY TO MORE MOTIVATION
TO GO AND TELL THE VOTERS HEY,
LOOK, IT'S YOU OR NOBODY AT
THIS POINT TO STOP DONALD TRUMP
FROM WHAT HE BELIEVES WILL BE
RECKLESS BEHAVIOR UNDER THIS
DECISION.
THE PRESIDENT'S LACKLUSTER
DEBATE LAST STUNNED DEMOCRATS
TO THE POINT OF TALKS ABOUT
REMOVING HIM.
WHERE DOES THIS STAND NOW?
IS THAT REALLY A POSSIBILITY OR
IS PARTY COMING AROUND HIM?
WELL, THIS COULD BE A
LENGTHY ANSWER FROM I KNOW WE
DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME THOUGH
I AM PAID BY THE MINUTE SO
THAT'S A GOOD THING I GUESS
FROM A PERSONAL STANDPOINT.
LOOK, THIS IS SHIFTING.
YOU KNOW, WE ALREADY HAVE SOME
NEW REPORTING OUT BY THE FAMED
LEGENDARY REPORTER CARL
BERNSTEIN TALKING HOW BIDEN
FOLKS CLOSE TO BIDEN HAVE SAID
THAT THEY'VE SEEN THIS HAPPEN.
WHAT WE SAW THAT DEBATE ABOUT
15, 20 TIMES OR SO IN JUST IN
THE LAST YEAR OR SO.
DARE I SAY THE WORD COVER UP
BUT THERE HAS BEEN ACCORDING TO
DEMOCRAT SOURCES A COVER UP OF
SORTS, IF YOU WILL TO SHIELD
PRESIDENT BIDEN FROM WHAT WAS
DISPLAYED ON THURSDAY NIGHT.
IT'S NOW ALL OUT IN THE OPEN
AND SO WHERE DOES THIS GO?
WE DON'T REALLY KNOW AT THIS
POINT.
AT THIS POINT IT'S ALL GOING TO
BE ABOUT JOE AND JOE BIDEN AND
WHAT THEY DECIDE THAT THE FOR
THE DEMOCRATS HERE IS THAT THIS
UNLIKE OTHER CRISES THAT COME
UP IN THE PAST THAT GO AWAY,
YOU KNOW, GIVE IT GIVE IT A
WEEK, GIVE IT TWO WEEKS, GIVE
IT A MONTH AND THEN THE MEDIA
MOVES ON TO SOMETHING ELSE
THAT'S NOT THIS FROM THIS IS
GOING TO GET WORSE.
WHY IS IT GOING TO GET WORSE
BECAUSE OF JOE BIDEN'S AGE
EVERY DAY HE GETS A DAY OLDER
AND SO THE MISHAPS ARE GOING TO
CONTINUE THE NARRATIVE CONTINUE
AND I'M NOT QUITE SURE HOW
BIDEN GETS OUT IT AT THIS
POINT.
ALL RIGHT.
DAVID BRODY, THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR JOINING US.
WANT TO TURN NOW TO THE WAR
IN ISRAEL.
PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN
NETANYAHU SAYS THE IDF IS CLOSE
TO ENDING A MAJOR PHASE OF THE
WAR IN.
AS CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS FROM
JERUSALEM, THAT COULD MEAN A
STEP TOWARDS A WIDER WAR ON THE
NORTHERN BORDER.
ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU TOLD A GROUP
OF ARMY CADETS THE IDF IS CLOSE
TO DESTROYING HAMAS'S
CAPABILITIES.
THE IDF ALSO ANNOUNCED AN
EVACUATION OF KHAN YUNIS TO GET
CIVILIANS OUT OF HARM'S WAY AS
IT PREPARES AN OFFENSIVE TO
CLEAR OUT HAMAS TERRORISTS WHO
FLED THERE FROM RAFAH.
MEANWHILE THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION SAYS ISRAEL MUST
EVENTUALLY LET ALL GAZANS
RETURN AND SETTLE IN THE
TERRITORY.
U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY
BLINKEN LAID OUT THE ADMINISTER
TERMS FOR GAZA AFTER THE WAR.
AND WE KNOW THAT ARE THREE
THINGS THAT ARE UNACCEPTABLE
FOR FOR GAZA'S FUTURE AN
ISRAELI OCCUPATION.
HAMAS PERPETUATING ITS
LEADERSHIP OR CHAOS ANARCHY,
LAWLESSNESS WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE
SEEING IN BIG PARTS OF GAZA.
BLINKEN ALSO BELIEVES
THERE'S STILL A POSSIBILITY OF
CEASEFIRE IN EXCHANGE FOR
HOSTAGES BUT POINTS THE FINGER
AT HAMAS LEADER YAHYA SINWAR AS
THE OBSTACLE.
MR. SINWAR IS NOT ONLY
HOLDING ON TO ISRAELI AMERICAN
AND OTHER HOSTAGES HE'S
CONTINUING TO MAKE A HOSTAGE OF
PALESTINIAN CHILDREN, WOMEN AND
MEN ON THE BORDER.
THE FIGHTING CONTINUES BETWEEN
HEZBOLLAH AND ISRAEL.
IN JUNE HEZBOLLAH HAS FIRED
NEARLY 300 SUICIDE DRONES,
MISSILES AND ROCKETS INTO
NORTHERN ISRAEL.
BLINKEN ADDRESSED THE
POSSIBILITY OF AN ALL OUT WAR
BETWEEN THE TWO.
60 THOUSAND OR SO ISRAELIS
WHO'VE BEEN FORCED FROM THEIR
HOMES IN NORTHERN ISRAEL.
ISRAEL HAS EFFECTIVELY LOST
SOVEREIGNTY THE NORTHERN
QUADRANT OF ITS COUNTRY BECAUSE
PEOPLE DON'T FEEL SAFE TO GO TO
THEIR HOMES.
ON MONDAY THE
ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE FILED A
LAWSUIT FOR VICTIMS OF THE
OCTOBER 7TH MASSACRE.
THE ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE CEO
JONATHAN ANNOUNCED THAT THE
LEGAL ACTION TARGETS IRAN AND
NORTH KOREA.
THIS LAWSUIT ON BEHALF OF
MORE THAN A HUNDRED AMERICANS
WHO ARE AFFECTED BY THIS ATTACK
WILL INDEED ENSURE THAT THERE
ARE CONSEQUENCES TO BE BROUGHT
FOR THE BLOODIEST DAY
EXPERIENCED BY THE JEWISH
PEOPLE SINCE THE HOLOCAUST.
THE LAWSUIT IS DEMANDING $4
BILLION IN COMPENSATION AND
ACCUSES THESE COUNTRIES OF
PROVIDING MONEY WEAPONS AND
OTHER ASSISTANCE THAT MADE THE
VISIT WATCH CBSNEWS.COM FIND
WHERE TO WATCH.
THERE'S A NEW ON THE RISE IN
MODERN WARFARE.
U.S. AIR FORCE LEADERS POINT
SMALL DRONES AS ONE OF THE TOP
THREATS IN COMBAT.
MARK TRAVELED TO THE TOP
MILITARY SITE TASKED WITH
MEETING THIS CHALLENGE.
HERE'S HIS REPORT FROM GRAND
FORKS AIR FORCE BASE IN NORTH
DAKOTA.
RUSSIA'S WAR ON UKRAINE IS
BRINGING DRONE WARFARE FRONT
AND CENTER SHOWCASING HOW THESE
UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES ARE
USED FOR SURVEILLANCE AND
COMBAT.
THIS FOOTAGE REPORTEDLY
RELEASED BY UKRAINIAN SPECIAL
FORCES APPEARS TO SHOW A DRONE
DESTROYING, A RUSSIAN ARMORED
VEHICLE AND TANK.
THEN THERE'S ACTUALLY DRONE ON
DRONE COMBAT.
THIS VIDEO DEPICTS A DRONE
DOGFIGHT REPORTEDLY INVOLVING
EQUIPMENT USED FOR SURVEILLANCE
BY UKRAINIAN RUSSIAN ARMED
FORCES.
THERE'S VERY LITTLE
PROTECTION IN THE WAY OF
ANTI-DRONE MEASURES AND IT'S
NOT JUST IN THE AIR.
HERE YOU SEE WHAT APPEARS TO
BE A UKRAINIAN SEA DRONE
ATTACKING A RUSSIAN TANKER SHIP
IN THE BLACK SEA.
A NORTH DAKOTA'S GRAND FORKS
AIR FORCE BASE THEY'RE NOT
TAKING THE USE OF DRONES
LIGHTLY.
THE 3/19 RECONNAISSANCE WING
SMALL UAV PROGRAM IS THE FIRST
AN AIR COMBAT COMMAND TO SUCH A
PROGRAM WITH OPERATORS FROM
MULTIPLE UNITS.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO FAR TO
GO LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING
AROUND THE WORLD.
RIGHT.
IT IS NO SECRET WHAT OUR
ADVERSARIES ARE DOING WITH
THESE THINGS.
CAPTAIN MATTHEW GROLL IS THE
VICE CHAIRMAN FOR UNMANNED
AERIAL SYSTEMS OPERATIONS HERE.
THESE THINGS CAN WEAPONIZED
AND THEY CAN BE USED TO HURT
PEOPLE AND THINGS AND WHAT THAT
MEANS IS WE AS THE DEPARTMENT
OF DEFENSE IN THE UNITED STATES
AIR FORCE HAVE TO GO OUT THERE
AND COUNTER THAT THREAT.
ONE DRONE THAT AIRMEN TRAIN
ON IS THE QUADCOPTER STYLE
SKYDOME TWO D.
THE SECURITY FORCES UNIT
EMPLOYS IT TO DEFEND BASE
THROUGH PERIMETER SCANS OR
IDENTIFYING THREATS FROM THE
SKY THAT USE CAN ALSO TRANSFER
TO OVERSEAS BASES THAT GOES
EVEN BEYOND INTO THE DEPLOYED
MISSIONS THAT WE SERVE WHERE
OUR COMMANDERS ARE CONSTANTLY
UNDER THREAT FROM THE OUTSIDE
OF THE WIRE THREAT.
THOSE THREATS ARE IMMEDIATELY
ANSWERED BY THIS TYPE
TECHNOLOGY.
SENIOR AIRMAN TAVI EFRON
OPERATES THE DRONE SAYS IT'S
PRETTY IMPRESSIVE WHAT THEY CAN
DO.
FOR INSTANCE, MAYBE ACTIVE
SHOOTERS.
YOU KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING
LOCATING AN INDIVIDUAL IN THAT
ASPECT TO GET EYES ON TO
SOMEBODY ELSE TO IS IN PART OF
THAT MISSION CONTROL CAN SEE
WHAT'S GOING AND MAYBE REDIRECT
US IN WAYS THAT WE DIDN'T THINK
ON THE GROUND COULD BE DONE.
GROLL SAYS THEY ALSO USE IT
FOR AIRCRAFT RECOVERY TRAINING
AND IF REQUIRED COULD FLY IT TO
SURVEY A CRASH SITE.
YOU WOULD SEE WHATEVER
CAMERA SEES ON THE AIRCRAFT
ITSELF.
MEMBERS OF THE AIRCRAFT
MAINTENANCE GAVE US A DEMO OF
THE SKY TO GO STUDY.
SO I'M GOING TO GET A LITTLE
BIT OF ALTITUDE HERE TO GET
AWAY FROM THINGS CHANGE OVER TO
MY WAYPOINT MISSION AND THEN
I'LL JUST HIT PLAY AND THEN THE
AIRCRAFT DOES WHAT IT'S ALREADY
TO DO.
MASTER SERGEANT MATTHEW
ROBERTS SAYS USING A SYSTEM
LIKE THIS TO SURVEY AND ASSESS
DAMAGES SAVES TIME, MONEY AND.
IT ELIMINATES A LOT OF BOOTS
ON THE GROUND AND A SENSE TO TO
DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO IN A
SHORT TIME AND CAPTURE WHAT WE
NEED TO DO WITHOUT SPENDING A
LOT OF RESOURCES AHEAD OF TIME
.
MAKE THE JOB AND THE MISSION
HAPPEN QUICKLY AND SAFELY.
THERE ARE ACTUALLY TWO ACTIVE
DUTY MILITARY MISSIONS
INVOLVING UNMANNED AERIAL
OPERATING HERE AT GRAND FORKS
AIR FORCE BASE IN TO THE SKY
AUDIO WHICH YOU ALREADY SAW.
ANOTHER UNIT OPERATES WHAT'S
CALLED THE R2 FOR OR GLOBAL
HAWK.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE WORLD'S
LARGEST DRONE THE 3/40
RECONNAISSANCE SQUADRON HERE
FLIES THE GLOBAL HAWK.
THE LONG ENDURANCE AIRCRAFT CAN
REACH EXTREMELY HIGH ALTITUDES
OF 50 TO 60000 FEET.
CAPTAIN MARK COCHRAN
REMOTELY PILOTS THE LARGE SCALE
SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES GLOBAL DAY
OR NIGHT SURVEILLANCE AND
RECONNAISSANCE.
THE IQ FOR GLOBAL HAWK IS A
PREMIER INTELLIGENCE ASSET THAT
IS ONE OF THE ONLY ASSETS
THAT'S CAPABLE OF GIVING A LONG
COLLECTION TIME WITHOUT NEEDING
AERIAL REFUELING.
I FEEL LIKE THAT'S ITS BIGGEST
SPRING TO ANY KIND OF AIR
COMBATANT COMMANDER.
BRAD BOWMAN OF THE
FOUNDATION FOR DEFENSE OF
THESE DRONE SYSTEMS
FUNDAMENTALLY IMPORTANT THE
U.S. MILITARY.
WE REALLY ARE UNFORTUNATELY
CONTINUE TO BE IN AN ARMS RACE
AGAINST ADVERSARIES THAT ARE
BUILDING DRONES.
OBVIOUSLY RUSSIA HAS DRONES.
THEY'RE WORKING WITH IRAN ON
THEIR DRONES.
CHINA IS A MAJOR DEVELOPER AND
EXPORTER OF DRONES.
THE COUNTRY THAT HAS THE MOST
ADVANCED DRONES THE QUANTITY OF
DRONES THAT EMPLOYS THEM
EFFECTIVELY IT'S GOING TO HAVE
LIFE AND DEATH CONSEQUENCES THE
BATTLEFIELD.
AND AIRMEN AT THE GRAND
FORKS AIR FORCE BASE ARE FULLY
DESCRIBING THIS TECH AS A GAME
CHANGER IN A TIME OF WAR AND
ANOTHER WAY AMERICANS CAN FEEL
SAFE.
MARK MARTIN, CBS NEWS, GRAND
FORKS, NORTH DAKOTA.
WELL INDEED, WARFARE HAS
CERTAINLY CHANGED BOOTS ON THE
GROUND AND I THINK THAT THAT
GLOBAL HAWK GOES 60,000 FEET IN
ALTITUDE.
INCREDIBLE.
IT'S A GREAT AT HOW OUR U.S.
CALL 885 1717 THAT'S 885 1717.
CALL NOW BILL REMEMBERS TWO
THINGS FROM HIS ACCIDENT.
FIRST THE PAIN.
THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE
CONSIDERING THAT HE HAD
MULTIPLE BROKEN BONES.
THE SECOND THING HE
REMEMBERS THE PRAYERS FROM HIS
FAMILY AND THAT HE SAYS IS WHAT
SAVED HIS LIFE.
IT HAD BEEN HOURS SINCE PHYLLIS
PHELPS HUSBAND BILL LEFT TO RUN
A QUICK AARON BEFORE THEY WENT
ON VACATION.
FINALLY SHE CALLED HIM AND I
THOUGHT WHAT IN THE WORLD?
SHE SAID BILL'S BEEN IN A
BAD ACCIDENT.
WE DON'T KNOW IF HE'S GOING
TO MAKE IT.
THE WHO PHYLLIS KNEW.
I'D SEEN IT HAPPEN.
BILL WAS GOING THROUGH AN
INTERSECTION ON HIS MOTORCYCLE
WHEN A VAN A RED LIGHT SWERVING
TO AVOID A COLLISION.
HE LOST CONTROL AND WAS THROWN
40 FEET ACROSS THE PAVEMENT.
HE WASN'T WEARING A HELMET.
IT WAS SO MANY EMOTIONS AT
ONE TIME THAT HIT YOU.
MY FIRST INSTINCT IS ALWAYS TO
PRAY.
WHEN PHIL HAS ARRIVED AT THE
LOCAL HOSPITAL THE STAFF WAS
PREPPING BILL FOR A MEDEVAC
FLIGHT TO DARTMOUTH-HITCHCOCK
MEDICAL CENTER IN LEBANON, NEW
HAMPSHIRE.
MY PRAYER WAS OH GOD, JUST
LET HIM LIVE.
BILL WAS OUT AND I JUST TOUCHED
HIS FOOT AND I PRAYED TO THE
LORD AND I FELT LIKE THE HOLY
SPIRIT NOT AN AUDIBLE VOICE BUT
JUST SAD BILLY FOR LIFE.
SOON AFTER PHYLLIS AND HER
ADULT CHILDREN BEGAN THE 70
MILE DRIVE TO DARTMOUTH MEDICAL
CENTER.
WE DIDN'T KNOW WE WOULD MAKE
IT TO THE HOSPITAL BEFORE HE
DIED.
AFTER ARRIVED, PHYLLIS
LEARNED BILL HAD NUMEROUS
INJURIES THAT INCLUDED BROKEN
RIBS, PUNCTURED LUNG AND A
NEARLY SEVERED.
ONE INJURY, HOWEVER, WAS LIFE
THREATENING A LEVEL FOUR BRAIN
TRAUMA THAT WOULD REQUIRE
IMMEDIATE SURGERY TO GET THE
BRAIN SWELLING UNDER CONTROL.
IF PHYLLIS AGREED.
THE DOCTOR SAID TO ME IF WE
DON'T DO THE SURGERY HE WILL
SURELY DIE.
IF HE DOES LIVE HE WOULD BE A
VEGETABLE.
SO THAT WAS TO BE INTO ALL MY
DECISION.
ARE YOU READY TO TAKE CARE
OF SOMEONE FOR THE REST OF
THEIR LIFE?
AS I SAID OF COURSE.
DO WHAT YOU CAN TO SAVE HIM.
THEY SAID YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN
TO SAY GOODBYE.
AND SO I BROUGHT THE KIDS IN
THE ROOM AND I SAID GOD HAS THE
FINAL SAY.
DOCTORS REMOVE PART OF BILL'S
SKULL TO ALLEVIATE THE PRESSURE
ON HIS SWOLLEN.
NOW AS BILL LAY IN A MEDICALLY
INDUCED COMA, ALL THEY COULD DO
WAS WAIT.
IT WASN'T HOPEFUL AND I
DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF HIM I
WOULD GET BACK.
SOON THE WAITING ROOM WAS FULL
OF PEOPLE PRAYING FOR BILL AND
THE FAMILY.
EVEN I WAS IN SUCH SORROW, IN
SUCH SHOCK I FELT AWAY FROM THE
PRESENCE OF THE LORD BECAUSE IT
WAS A FRONTAL LOBE INJURY.
BILL'S DOCTORS GAVE PHYLLIS
LITTLE HOPE THAT BILL'S MEMORY
WOULD RECOVER.
BY DAY 12 THE BRAIN SWELLING
HAD GONE DOWN ENOUGH THAT THEY
WERE ABLE TO BRING HIM OUT OF
THE COMA.
HE DIDN'T KNOW WHO ALL WERE.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF HE WOULD EVER
REMEMBER US.
I REMEMBER EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT
OF PAIN.
I REMEMBER MY FAMILY PRAYING
FOR ME?
TWO DAYS LATER BILL TRANSFERRED
CATHOLIC MEDICAL CENTER IN
MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR
REHAB.
THERE HE STARTED RELEARNING HOW
TO EAT, SPEAK AND, WALK.
EVEN THEN, DOCTORS DIDN'T
EXPECT BILL WOULD MAKE A FULL
RECOVERY.
THE DOCTORS TOOK ME IN AND TOLD
ME THAT I WOULDN'T GET MY
HUSBAND BACK.
HE WILL BE A VERY DIFFERENT MAN
THAN I'M USED TO.
I NEEDED TO PREPARE MYSELF.
MEANWHILE, BILL HAD THAN JUST
PHYSICAL STRUGGLES.
I HAD TO WALK AND TALK IN
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
HOW COULD HE LET THIS HAPPEN TO
ME?
FRUSTRATION TURNED INTO ANGER
MOSTLY BECAUSE I COULDN'T
UNDERSTAND AND HE WOULD SAY TO
ME I CAN'T FIND MYSELF AND.
I WOULD TELL HIM GOD KNOWS
WHERE YOU'RE CORRECT.
GOD KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE YOU'RE
AT.
AND HE WILL FIND YOU BY NOW.
PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD WERE
PRAYING FOR BILL.
OVER THE NEXT MONTH HE SLOWLY
IMPROVED.
AND ON SEPTEMBER 10TH HE WAS
RELEASED TO GO.
GETTING HIM HOME WAS GREAT
VICTORY.
BUT HAVING HIM THERE WAS A
GREAT CHALLENGE.
YOU COULD FEEL PRAYERS.
IT GAVE ME A LOT OF HOPE, A
LOT OF DETERMINATION MOSTLY
BECAUSE OF THE LOVE THAT I WAS
SURROUNDED BY BY MY FAMILY.
ALL OF THOSE PRAYING FOR ME.
WHILE CONTINUED WITH OUTPATIENT
REHAB, HE SAYS HIS PERSPECTIVE
TOWARD GOD BEGAN TO CHANGE.
MY ANGER WAS TURNING INTO
BEING THANKFUL.
I DON'T LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO
ME.
I WILL.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I NEVER WILL UNDERSTAND.
I TRIED NOW TO THANK HIM FOR
THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING
THE BLESSINGS THAT I GET TO
ENJOY EVERY DAY.
I HAVE EIGHT GRANDCHILDREN.
SIX OF THEM I WOULD HAVE NEVER
MET IF GOD SPARE MY LIFE.
BILL WOULD STILL NEED
MULTIPLE SURGERIES REHAB OVER
THE NEXT TWO YEARS WITH THE
HELP OF PHYSICAL THERAPY.
HE IS ALMOST BACK TO HIS
NORMAL LIFE BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN
PROVING HE DID WALK AGAIN HE
SAT AT THE SOCCER HE MOW THE
LAWN HE LEARNED TO DRIVE AGAIN.
IT'S BEEN A LONG LONG HAUL
AND IT'S NOT BEEN EASY FOR
EITHER OF US.
TODAY BILL AND PHYLLIS
BELIEVE THAT IT WAS THE POWER
OF PRAYER THAT BROUGHT HIM BACK
TO THE LIFE HE LOVES.
GOD IS THE MIRACLE WORKER.
HE'S STILL IN THE MIRACLE AND
BUSINESS.
JESUS CHRIST IS FAITHFUL.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU FACE.
DON'T TURN TOOK FROM GOD AND
RUN
HE'S WORTHY TO PUT YOUR TRUST
IN.
HE DOESN'T YOU TO WALK THROUGH
THIS LIFE ALONE.
WHATEVER INJURIES YOU SUSTAIN
IN LIFE YOU NEED JESUS CHRIST.
THAT'S THE ANSWER.
HERE IS THE ANSWER, ISN'T
IT?
YOU KNOW LIFE IS FULL OF
SUDDENLY IS WHEN WE LEAST
EXPECTED THINGS HAPPEN THAT WE
DIDN'T SEE AND THEY ARE LIFE
CHANGING VERY OFTEN.
AND YET I LOVE WHAT HIS WIFE
SAID GOD HAS THE FINAL WORD.
AND SO TODAY I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOUR NEED IS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR PETITION
TO THE LORD IS ABOUT OR FOR BUT
I KNOW THIS HE HAS FINAL ANSWER
AND I ALSO KNOW THAT JUST LIKE
BILL HE KNOWS YOUR NAME.
HE KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE.
HE KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE GOING
THROUGH AND HE HAS THAT
PROMISES MADE TO ALL OF US THAT
ALL THINGS NOT SOME THINGS BUT
ALL THINGS MAY BE THE DIFFICULT
NEGATIVE CHALLENGING THINGS
WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THOSE
WHO LOVE GOD.
THAT'S YOU.
THAT'S YOU.
SO TODAY WE WANT TO JOIN HEARTS
JOIN HANDS WITH YOU.
WE WANT TO PRAY FOR YOU RIGHT
IN THE MIDST OF YOUR
CIRCUMSTANCE AND ASK GOD TO
MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN WHAT IT IS
YOU'RE FACING.
SO LET'S DO THAT TOGETHER.
OKAY?
READY?
LET'S PRAY.
WELL, FATHER, WE LOVE YOU.
WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE BIGGER
THAN ANYTHING WE CAN IMAGINE.
WE KNOW THAT INVOLVED ALL OF
THIS.
WHAT YOU'RE ASKING US TO DO IS
TO SURRENDER TO YOUR GOODNESS,
TRUST YOUR HEART.
ESPECIALLY WHEN WE CAN'T SEE
ANYTHING ESPECIALLY WHEN WE
DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THINGS
HAVE HAPPENED.
TO BELIEVE THAT YOUR HEART IS
GOOD ALL THE TIME AND THAT YOUR
GOODNESS IS CHASING AFTER US AS
YOUR CHILDREN GOD PROMISING TO
BRING GOOD OUT OF NEGATIVE TO
BRING LIFE OUT OF TO BRING HOPE

CONDITION BUT THERE'S SOMEONE I
BELIEVE A MAN WHO NEEDS WISDOM

WISDOM FOR HIS LIFE OR THE
DIRECTION HE SHOULD GO BECAUSE

TODAY CASEY DREAMED OF BECOMING
AN MMA FIGHTER HE TRAINED
NEARLY EVERY DAY HE SPARRED
WITH OTHER PROFESSIONAL
FIGHTERS EVEN MAKING SOME OF
THEM TAP OUT.
STILL THERE WAS ONE FIGHT HE
COULDN'T WIN AND IT NEARLY COST
HIM HIS MARRIAGE.
AS A MARRIED MAN I HAD NO
BUSINESS BEING IN THERE AND I
JUST FELT THE LUST AND LUST IS
HEAVY.
I ALWAYS USED TO JUDGE DAVID
UNTIL I BECAME HIM.
CASEY MILES WAS, A CHAMPION
HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLER WITH A
ROUGH PAST.
DURING HIS JUNIOR YEAR HE
FELL IN LOVE WITH HIS CLASSMATE
MELISSA WHO WAS DEVOUT
CHRISTIAN.
WE BECAME FRIENDS FIRST AND AT
THE SAME TIME MY SPANISH
TEACHER INTRODUCED TO ME THE
BIBLE.
HE STARTED READING ME
SCRIPTURE AND ASKING ME IF I
KNEW.
SO I STARTED DOING BIBLE STUDY
WITH HIM AND MELISSA SAW THAT
AND THAT GAVE HER SOME
CONFIDENCE DATE ME THOSE SCENES
WHERE THAT WERE PLANTED IN ME
BY MY MESSAGE WERE IMPORTANT
VERY IMPORTANT.
THEY GOT MARRIED WHEN.
THEY WERE 19 YEARS OLD.
CASEY WRESTLED IN JUNIOR
COLLEGE THEN TRAINING FOR
INMATE CAGE FIGHTING.
WHEN WE WERE AND AT THAT
STAGE IN OUR LIFE FIGHTING WAS
RELATIVELY NEW SO I DIDN'T KNOW
REALLY WHAT TO EXPECT AS FAR AS
LIFESTYLE AND HOW IT WOULD
AFFECT OUR MARRIAGE.
I WANTED TO WIN.
I WANTED TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT
THE UNDERDOG CAN WIN LIKE THE
ROCKY.
I WANTED TO LIVE STORY.
I WANTED TO GET IN THAT CAGE
AND I WANTED TO FIGHT.
I WAS TOP AND PRO FIGHTERS, YOU
KNOW.
ONCE I SEEN THAT I WAS LIKE
THIS IS ME.
I'M A FIGHTER.
IN HIS HOMETOWN IN CALIFORNIA,
CASEY HIMSELF INTO MMO TRAINING
NEARLY EVERY DAY ON THE.
HE TRAINED IN LAS VEGAS WITH A
GOAL OF FIGHTING IN THE UFC.
MY WRESTLING COACH ROCKY HE
WARNED ME AGAINST TRAINING WITH
CERTAIN PEOPLE IN ME AND HE
TOLD ME HOW IT'LL CHANGE YOU
AND HE MEANT MORALLY.
THIS IS WHEN THE PROBLEM
STARTED AND FOR ME I DIDN'T
KNOW HOW PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES
WERE YOU KNOW I WENT TO THE
STRIP CLUBS WITH THEM AND AT
FIRST WHEN I WENT MY HANDSHAKE
VIOLENTLY AND IT ONLY DID THAT
THREE TIMES.
ANOTHER TIME MY HAND AND SHAKE
ANYMORE I KNEW IT WAS WRONG
BEING IN THERE BUT IT WAS SO
EXOTIC LIKE MY LIKE JUST SEEING
ALL THAT I WAS LIKE WHAT THE
HECK?
I MEAN YOU'RE ALL KINDS OF
GIRLS EVERY SHAPE AND COLOR AND
AND FLESH IS POWERFUL.
ABSOLUTELY POWERFUL.
THAT TEMPTATION WAS HEAVY.
HEAVY AND I DID NOT LIKE IT
BECAUSE I KNEW IT WAS WRONG.
I WAS I WAS.
EVERY TIME I LEFT I LITERALLY
LOOKED UP AND SAID I'M SORRY,
GOD.
I KNEW WHAT I WAS DOING WAS
WRONG BUT I COULDN'T STOP.
I KEPT GOING BACK TO STRIP
CLUBS BEFORE LONG CASEY GAVE IN
TO TEMPTATION AND BEGAN HAVING
AN AFFAIR WITH A DANCER.
MELISSA FOUND OUT WHAT WAS
GOING AND WAS DEVASTATED.
I COULDN'T BEAR IT ANYMORE.
I WAS AT THE END OF MY ROOM.
I WAS CONSTANTLY SAD, DEPRESSED
AND I JUST ASKED HIM DID YOU
KNOW HE WAS A FIGHTER AND I
WANTED HIM TO FIGHT FOR US.
I WAS TRYING TO BUY TIME
BECAUSE.
I'M TRYING TO GET ON THE
ULTIMATE FIGHTER SHOW AND SHE
WENT TO THE BANK AND GOT HALF
THE MONEY OUT OF THE BANK
ACCOUNT AND SHE COMES HOME AND
SHE DOES OUT AND SHE SAYS NO,
NO, YOU HAVE A CHOICE HALF THIS
IS YOURS.
YOU WANT THAT LIFE.
YOU GO TAKE THIS MONEY AND
LEAVE YOUR RING.
I'M WITHIN RIGHT TO DIVORCE
YOU.
AND WHEN SHE SAID THAT IT
SCARED ME BECAUSE MOST TRULY IN
MY MIND THE ONLY PERSON THAT
LOVED ME UNCONDITIONALLY AND
THAT'S WHEN I CALLED UP MY
SPANISH TEACHER AND I ASKED HIM
WHAT DO I DO?
AND HE SAYS YOU GET DOWN ON
YOUR KNEES AND YOU CROWD TO
GOD.
AND I WAS LIKE, I DON'T I DON'T
HAVE TIME FOR THIS.
I HAD BECOME SO EGOTISTICAL I
DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR AND I HAVE
TIME FOR YEARS IT WAS ALL ABOUT
ME.
I WAS SO SELFISH I WANTED TO BE
IN THE UFC.
I WANTED TO BE A CHAMPION.
HE CAME UP AND HE SHOWED ME WHO
I WAS IN THE BIBLE AND I'M LIKE
THAT'S NOT ME.
HE SAID WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO
DO?
AND I PICK MYSELF.
I PICKED MY WIFE AND WHEN
SHE CAME HOME FROM WORK THAT
DAY I WAS STILL HOME AND SHE
GOES GOOD, NOW YOU'RE MOVING.
CASEY MOVED IN WITH HIS HIGH
SCHOOL TEACHER AND AVOIDED
OUTSIDE INFLUENCES FROM THE IMA
WORLD.
INSTEAD HE BEGAN READING THE
BIBLE.
WHEN I STARTED READING ABOUT
JESUS.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE I WANTED.
I WAS I WAS HOOKED FROM VERY
SECOND I OPENED THAT BIBLE.
I HAD NOTHING ELSE.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE I COULD
DO.
I COULDN'T GO THE GYM.
I WAS WORKING AT HOME BUT I
JUST WENT IN THE BIBLE AND I'M
LIKE WHY?
I WOULD JUST LOOK UP AND SAY
WHY DO YOU DO THIS FOR US?
LIKE I KNOW WHO I AM, I'M
SELFISH AND JUST STARTED
FALLING IN LOVE WITH JESUS AND
I JUST STARTED TO MISS MY WIFE
AND I SPENT SIX MONTHS ALONE
WITHOUT HER AND THAT'S WHEN I
STARTED TO GROW WITH THE LORD.
MELISSA SAW THE CHANGES
TAKING PLACE IN CASEY'S HEART
AND CHARACTER.
IT WAS TURNING THE TABLES.
HE WAS HE WAS THINKING MORE
ABOUT US AS A COUPLE IN OUR
MARRIAGE AND GOD'S PLAN THEN
HIS POOR THEN HIS OWN PLAN AS I
GOT CLOSER TO JESUS WAS GETTING
CLOSER AND CLOSER WE WOULD READ
BIBLES TOGETHER, WE'D SCRIPTURE
TOGETHER AND GO WORK TOGETHER
AND SHE BECAME MY TRAINING
PARTNER.
SHE BECAME MY BEST FRIEND.
I FELL IN LOVE WITH MY SO
DIFFERENT.
I FELL IN LOVE HER SOUL.
CASEY COMMITTED HIS LIFE TO
CHRIST.
THEY MOVED BACK IN TOGETHER AND
SOON AFTER HE STARTED A FAMILY.
TODAY THEIR MARRIAGE IS SOLID
WITH JESUS AS THE FOUNDATION
MAN.
WE WERE JUST TWO YOUNG PEOPLE.
IT WAS REAL LOVE.
IT REALLY WAS.
BUT I WAS IN LOVE WITH MYSELF
TOO.
NOW I'M IN LOVE HER AND NOT ME.
AND THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I'M
PICKING UP ACROSS.
CARRYING ON DAILY MEANS IS YOU
PICK HIM AND YOU PICK YOUR WIFE
OVER YOURSELF.
I CAME IN BACK INTO MY LIFE,
BACK INTO MY HUSBAND'S LIFE AND
WE BOTH HAD TO REALLY JUST
TRUST AND RELY ON HIM AND GROW
IN HIM AND I THINK THAT'S
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
THINGS IS THAT WE BOTH CHOSE TO
STAY AND GROW TOWARDS GOD.
I HAVE A GOOD LIFE AND I
DON'T DESERVE IT BUT I'M
GRATEFUL.
IF YOUR MARRIAGE IS
STRUGGLING BE ENCOURAGED BY
THAT TESTIMONY.
LISTEN, CASEY WAS A TOUGH DUDE
IN BRUTAL FIGHTS A TOUGH GUY
WITH BIG GOALS AND AS TOUGH AS
HE WAS, HE ACKNOWLEDGED IT AND
HE ADMITTED HE WAS NOT TOUGH
ENOUGH TO THE LOSS OF THE
FLESH.
AND THAT'S A STRUGGLE.
IT IS REALLY FOR OUR ENTIRE
LIVES.
GALATIANS FIVE TALKS ABOUT IT
THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT THERE
COMBAT WITH EACH OTHER.
IT'S A WAR AND YOU DON'T
NEED TO BE FRIGHTENED OF THAT.
THERE'S HOPE IN CHRIST FOR
SURE BECAUSE THROUGH CHRIST
THOSE FLESHLY DESIRES ARE
CRUCIFIED.
WE READ IN GALATIANS BUT NO
THIS IS GOING TO BE A THING IN
OUR LIVES FIGHTING AGAINST THE
FLESH.
BUT HE SURRENDERED TO JESUS.
NOT ONLY DID HE CONQUER THESE
THINGS HE BECAME A BETTER
HUSBAND BECAUSE WHEN YOU FOCUS
ON JESUS YOU BECOME A BETTER
SPOUSE.
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
BUT I WAS SO STRUCK WHEN CASEY
SAID WENT INTO THIS CLUB HE
KNEW HE SHOULDN'T BE THERE AND
HE WAS LITERALLY TREMBLING.
REMEMBER HE SAID THAT MY
HAND WAS SHAKING BECAUSE HIS
SPIRIT KNEW THIS WAS NOT FOR
HIM.
HIS SPIRIT WAS DISTURBED AND
THAT'S A GOOD THING WHEN YOUR
SPIRIT SPEAKS AND SAYS NO I
MEAN THAT'S THE SPIRIT OF GOD
SAYING THIS IS NOT WHAT I HAVE
FOR YOU.
AND HE FINALLY BEGAN TO LISTEN
TO THE VOICE OF GOD AND THE
HOLY SPIRIT AND SAYING I NEED
TO SUBMIT THESE THINGS TO YOU.
EVEN P
SCRIPTURE OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT
CIRCUMSTANCES FOR PAUL THE
APOSTLE PAUL.
BUT HE SAID THE THINGS I
WANT TO DO I DON'T DO AND THE
THINGS I DON'T WANT TO DO I
FIND MYSELF DOING SO THIS IS A
NATURAL PART OF THE HUMAN
CONDITION.
BUT THE GREAT NEWS IS WHEN
WE BRING THESE THINGS UNDER THE
SUBMISSION OF JESUS, THE HOLY
SPIRIT STEPS IN IN A POWERFUL
WAY AND BRINGS LAWS UNDER
CONTROL UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF
CHRIST AND HE TAKES OUR SIN AND
HE MAKES US CLEAN BECAUSE OF
THE SACRIFICE OF CHRIST ON THE
CROSS.
I WANT TO PRAY FOR TWO
THINGS IN JUST A COUPLE OF
MINUTES HERE ON PRAY FOR
MARRIAGE AS BRIEFLY ALSO FOR
THOSE OF YOU STRUGGLING WITH A
LUSTS LUST PROBLEM MANY MANY
PEOPLE WHO LOVE JESUS SO COME

YOU'RE IN A MARRIAGE THAT NEEDS
A TOUCH AND ANOINTING FROM THE
HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD LET'S JUST
