ON TODAY'S 700 CLUB.

TO THE 700 CLUB AND THANKS SO

MUCH FOR JOINING WITH US IS

PLANNING SWIFT RETALIATION FOR

FOR IRAN'S MISSILE STRIKE.

THE PLAN COULD INCLUDE

ATTACKING IRAN'S NUCLEAR

FACILITIES WHICH PRESIDENT

BIDEN SAYS HE NOT SUPPORT.

MEANWHILE, ISRAELI GROUND

FORCES IN SOUTHERN LEBANON

SUFFERED THEIR FIRST COMBAT

LOSSES.

PAUL STRAND HAS MORE FROM

JERUSALEM.

ISRAELI OFFICIALS A SWIFT

RETALIATION FOR IRAN'S MISSILE

ATTACK ON TUESDAY.

MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU HAS

MET WITH TOP MILITARY AND

CIVILIAN TO MULL OVER OPTIONS.

TARGETS COULD INCLUDE IRAN'S

OIL RIGS OR EVEN ITS NUCLEAR

FACILITIES AS IT MOVES CLOSER

TO PRODUCING NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

PRESIDENT BIDEN WAS ASKED IF

HE'D SUPPORT STRIKES AGAINST

NUCLEAR FACILITIES.

THE ANSWER IS NO.

WE'LL BE DISCUSSING THE

ISRAELIS WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO

DO.

BIDEN SAID ISRAEL MUST RESPOND

AFTER THE UNITED NATIONS

SECRETARY GENERAL FAILED TO

IMMEDIATELY AND SPECIFICALLY

CONDEMN IRAN FOR ITS ATTACK.

ISRAEL'S FOREIGN MINISTER

ANTONIO GUTERRES OF BEING

DEEPLY ANTI-ISRAEL DECLARED THE

U.N. CHIEF PERSONA NON GRATA IN

ISRAEL AND BANNED HIM FROM

ENTERING THE COUNTRY.

WEDNESDAY AFTER KATZ'S COMMENTS

HAS MADE THIS STATEMENT I AGAIN

STRONGLY CONDEMN YESTERDAY AS

MASSIVE MISSILE ATTACKS BY IRAN

ON ISRAEL.

AT THAT SAME SECURITY

COUNCIL MEETING, IRAN'S

AMBASSADOR DECLARED TUESDAY'S

ATTACK ON ISRAEL A NECESSARY

AND PROPORTIONATE RESPONSE WHAT

HE CALLED ISRAEL'S CONTINUED

TERRORIST AGGRESSIVE ACTS

INCLUDE WIPING OUT MOST OF THE

TOP LEADERS OF IRAN'S PROXY

ARMY ARMY HEZBOLLAH TRAPPING

THOUSANDS OF HEZBOLLAH'S

BEEPERS AND WALKIE TALKIES TO

EXPLODE AND IDF GROUND TROOPS

INVADING SOUTHERN LEBANON TO

CLEAR OUT THE TERROR GROUP.

EIGHT OF THOSE TROOPS DIED IN

SKIRMISHES WITH HEZBOLLAH

FIGHTERS THIS WEEK.

THEIR BODIES EVACUATED SOON

AFTER THE MISSION GOES ON

SEARCHING OUT AND DESTROYING

TERRORIST TUNNELS

INFRASTRUCTURE AND WEAPONS

HIDDEN ALL OVER SOUTHERN

LEBANON.

IRAN'S PRESIDENT WARNED THAT IF

ISRAEL ESCALATES ITS WAR

AGAINST HEZBOLLAH OR COMES

AFTER IRAN ITSELF, THEY WILL

HIT BACK MUCH HARDER.

AMBASSADOR TO THE U.N. SAYS

IRAN'S MASSIVE ATTACK ALREADY

ITS GENOCIDAL AIMS.

THIS WAS NOT JUST JUST AN

ESCALATION.

IT WAS A DIRECT ASSAULT ON OUR

VERY EXISTENCE.

10 MILLION ISRAELIS TOOK TO

SHELTERS AS THE MISSILES HURLED

TOWARD TOWARD THEIR NATION.

BUT FOR MANY, FAITH

CONQUERED FEAR NO.

WE WERE NOT AFRAID.

THERE'S SOMEONE FROM ABOVE THAT

IS WATCHING OVER US.

GOD IS GUARDING THE PEOPLE OF

ISRAEL.

WE HAVE NOTHING TO.

ISRAELIS ARE NOW OBSERVING

THE HOLIDAY OF ROSH HASHANAH.

HOLIDAYS ARE ALWAYS A TIME OF

HEIGHTENED ALERT EVEN MORE SO

IN THIS IN THIS TIME OF WAR.

PAUL STRAND, CBN NEWS,

JERUSALEM.

WELL TODAY IS ROSH HASHANAH

AND I TO TAKE A MOMENT AND JUST

REFLECT WHERE WE ARE IN

HISTORY.

YOU AT THE CURRENT CONFLICT

AND ITS TRUTH HAS ON ITS HEAD

WHERE YOU HAVE IN THE HALLWAYS

OF THE U.N. IN THE MAIN

SECURITY COUNCIL SOME KIND OF

CLAIM THAT ISRAEL IS COMMITTING

TERROR ATTACKS AND IT JUST

SEEMS ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC TO ME

WOULD EVEN BE ENTERTAINED AT

THAT LEVEL.

THIS ALL STARTED ON OCTOBER

7TH.

IT ALL STARTED WITH HAMAS WITH

A BRUTAL ATTACK ON CIVILIANS IN

ISRAEL.

THEN YOU ADD TO IT HEZBOLLAH

RAINING ROCKETS DOWN ON SOCCER

FIELDS FOR CHILDREN AND YOU GO

WHO'S TO BLAME HERE?

ISRAEL IS NOT TO BLAME.

THEY ARE RESPONDING TO ATTACKS

ON THEIR SOVEREIGN AS A NATION

RECOGNIZED BY THE U.N. THEY

HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO DEFEND

THEMSELVES.

AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE GOING

BACK TO THE SAN REMO RESOLUTION

OF 1924, YOU LOOK BACK THIS

HISTORY AND YOU GO WELL, THEY

HAVE A RIGHT OF SELF-DETERMINE

NATION AND THEY HAVE THAT IN

THEIR ANCESTRAL HOMELAND IS

ISRAEL.

WE NEED TO STAND WITH WITH

ISRAEL.

NOW I'VE BEEN ASKED ARE WE

IN THE END TIMES?

AND MY ANSWER IS WE'RE GETTING

CLOSER.

IS YET ANOTHER BIRTH PANGS AND

IN THAT BIRTH WE NEED TO LOOK

TO THE BIBLE.

WHAT IS OUR SOURCE OF

INSPIRATION?

WHAT IS OUR SOURCE OF COMFORT

IN THESE DIRE DAYS BALLISTIC

MISSILES ARE BEING TARGETED AT

ISRAEL AS TERRORISM IS BEING

TARGETED AT ISRAEL.

WELL, HERE IS THIS WEEK'S

TORAH PORTION THE END OF THE

TORAH CYCLE BECAUSE IT'S ROSH

HASHANAH, THE HEAD OF THE YEAR

.

SO THIS SATURDAY THIS IS THE

PASSAGE THAT'S GOING IN EVERY

SYNAGOGUE AROUND THE WORLD AND

IT'S THE OF MOSES AND IT

CONCLUDES WITH THIS ONE VERSE.

AS CHRISTIANS WE VERY NEED

NEED TO RECOGNIZE THIS SONG WAS

ABSOLUTELY INSTRUMENTAL

FOREMOST IN THE MINDS OF THE

DISCIPLES APOSTLES THOSE WHO

WROTE THE NEW TESTAMENT AND THE

APOSTLE QUOTED THIS SONG

SEVERAL TIMES IN IN THE BOOK OF

ACTS AND ESPECIALLY IN THE BOOK

OF ROMANS.

BUT BUT HERE'S THE LAST

VERSE IN THIS THE RABBINICAL

TEACHING NEEDS TO ECHO

THROUGHOUT CHRISTIANS AROUND

THE WORLD TODAY BECAUSE THE

RABBIS SAY SONG OF MOSES IS A

HISTORY OF HUMANITY THAT WHEN

YOU READ THIS PSALM YOU SEE THE

ENTIRE HISTORY LAID OUT BY

MOSES THE PROPHET OF GOD.

HERE IS HOW HE CONCLUDES IT.

IT'S FROM DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER

32 VERSE 43.

REJOICE OF GENTILES WITH HIS

PEOPLE FOR HE WILL WILL AVENGE

THE BLOOD OF HIS SERVANTS AND

RENDER VENGEANCE TO HIS

ADVERSARIES.

HE WILL PROVIDE A TONE MEANT

FOR HIS LAND AND HIS PEOPLE.

IT'S THIS VERSE THAT CAUSED THE

APOSTLE PAUL TO SAY AND ALL

ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED IN THESE

THESE TRYING TIMES.

LET'S KEEP THIS IN MIND.

ISRAEL WILL BE SAVED AND IT

WILL BE SAVED BECAUSE ISRAEL IS

THE APPLE OF GOD'S EYE.

IN OTHER NEWS, A STRIKE

THAT'S SHUT DOWN 14 MAJOR PORTS

IN AMERICA IS ENTERING THE

THIRD DAY.

JOHN JESSUP HAS MORE ON THAT

STORY FROM OUR CBN NEWS BUREAU

IN WASHINGTON JOHN.

THANKS GORDON.

ABOUT 50,000 DOCK WORKERS ARE

ON THE PICKET LINES CLOSING

DOWN SHIPPING PORTS ALONG THE

EAST COAST AND GULF OF MEXICO.

ECONOMIC EXPERTS EXPERTS

PREDICT THE STRIKES COULD COST

THE ECONOMY AS MUCH AS $5

BILLION A DAY AND THEY PREDICT

CRIMPS IN THE SUPPLY SUPPLY

CHAIN WILL CREATE SHORTAGES AND

HIGHER PRICES FOR CONSUMERS.

THERE ARE ALREADY REPORTS OF

PANIC BUYING.

SOME STORES ARE RUNNING OUT OF

TOILET PAPER EVEN THOUGH IT'S

MADE IN THE US OR COMES IN BY

FROM CANADA AND MEXICO.

ITEMS THAT MIGHT BECOME

SCARCE INCLUDE PERISHABLES LIKE

BANANAS CHERRIES AS WELL COCO

SUGAR AND IMPORTED WINE.

THE DOCK WORKERS HIGHER WAGES

AND PROTECTION FROM AUTOMATION

.

WHILE THE BLUE COLLAR VOTE WILL

PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE

2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

A MAJOR REASON WHY UNIONS MAY

MAY NOT BE THE RELIABLE VOTE

THE DEMOCRATS HAVE DEPENDED ON

IN THE PAST.

CBN'S CHIEF POLITICAL ANALYST

DAVID BRODY HAS MORE.

THE PRESIDENTIAL FIGHT IN

BATTLEGROUND STATES AS A NUMBER

OF OF KEY STORYLINES HIGH ON

THE LIST.

THE UNION VOTE IS THE FIRST

TIME IN DECADES.

JUST GOT ENDORSED BY AND FILE

MEMBERS OF THE TEAMSTERS WHICH

I HAPPEN TO THINK IS AMAZING.

THAT WAS A SURPRISE AND

UNEXPECTED.

OF THE UNION EXPRESS SUPPORT

FOR DONALD TRUMP OVER KAMALA

HARRIS NUMBER OF REASONS

INCLUDING HIS ADMINISTRATION'S

ECONOMIC POPULIST SUCCESS A NEW

PLEDGE TO NOT TAX THE RICH OVER

TIME PROMISES TO PROTECT THEIR

JOBS FROM CHEAP MIGRANT LABOR.

J.W. PAINE, A TEAMSTER FOR

YEARS, ADDS ANOTHER DEMOCRAT

HAS TOTALLY LEFT THE WORKING

MAN AND THE BLUE COLLAR

WORKERS.

THEREFORE WE WANT TO GO SPEND

TIME WITH GEORGE CLOONEY UP IN

HOLLYWOOD AND GET THAT CAVIAR

VERSE TO SIT AND HAVE BANANA

PUDDING AND ALSO BALONEY DOWN

SANDWICHES.

THAT MINDSET SEEMS TO BE AT

THE HEART OF THE CHANGE MORE

MEMBERS NOW SEE DEMOCRATS AS

THE PARTY OF THE ELITES OF

TOUCH WITH TRADITIONAL FAMILY

VALUES.

MY HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

IN 68 NEARLY HALF 46% OF

AMERICANS WHO UNION HOUSEHOLDS

IDENTIFIED AS DEMOCRAT BY 2016

THAT NUMBER HAD SHRUNK 11

POINTS TO JUST 37 PERCENT.

WHEN TRUMP CAME ON THE

SCENE, ANOTHER DROP NOW DOWN

3%.

STEVE GRUBER IS A FORMER UNION

MEMBER MEMBER FROM MICHIGAN.

WHEN YOU GO TO BIG UNION

STATES LIKE MICHIGAN OR NEVADA,

THERE'S THERE'S THIS EROSION OF

SUPPORT.

I MEAN THEY'RE LEAVING IN

DROVES BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE

ECONOMY WAS BETTER UNDER DONALD

TRUMP.

VP HARRIS HAS SOME UNION

BACKING AT LEAST IN THE

LEADERSHIP RANKS.

SHAWN FAIN OF THE BIG UNITED

AUTO WORKERS UNION GOT A PRIME

SLOT DURING THE DEMOCRATIC

CONVENTION.

KAMALA HARRIS IS ONE OF US.

SHE'S A FIGHTER FOR THE WORKING

CLASS.

UNION DEMOCRATS SAY THEY

LIKE THE LEGISLATION PASSED

DURING THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION

THAT THEY BELIEVE WILL CREATE

JOBS FOR THEM IN CONSTRUCTION

AND MANUFACTURING.

THEY ALSO SAY TRUMP BENEFITS

THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS.

PLUS AS PRESIDENT HE PACKED

COURTS AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

WITH ANTI-UNION JUDGES AND

APPOINTEES.

HARRIS MADE SURE HER FIRST STOP

AFTER JOINING THE PRESIDENTIAL

RACE HAPPENED IN MICHIGAN AT

THE UAW.

YOU MAY NOT A UNION MEMBER

YOU BETTER THANK A UNION MEMBER

FOR THE FIVE DAY WORKWEEK.

YOU MET A UNION MEMBER FOR FOR

SICK LEAVE GET BETTER BANKING

UNION MEMBER FOR PAID LEAVE YOU

BETTER THANK A UNION MEMBER FOR

VACATION TIME BE DOING THE

THANKING IF SHE CAN DO AS WELL

AS BIDEN DID WITH WITH UNION

MEMBERS IN 2020.

BIDEN WON 57% OF THE UNION VOTE

IN THE KEY RUST BELT STATES

COMPARED TO 40%.

UNION VOTERS TYPICALLY MAKE

UP PERCENT OF THE ELECTORATE

THAT'S ABOUT ONE IN EVERY FIVE

VOTERS AND THERE ARE POINT 7

MILLION UNION MEMBERS IN THOSE

BATTLEGROUND STATES ALONE.

FORMER MICHIGAN UNION MEMBER

TOM NORTON WHO COMES OF UNION

MEMBERS THINKS SHE COULD BE IN

FOR FOR A SURPRISE THIS TIME

AROUND.

THIS IS THE FIRST STEP OF A

UNION REALLY STARTING TO SHIFT

TO THE REPUBLICAN.

AS LONG AS HE CAN FINISH THE

JOB OF SHOWING HOW BUSINESSES

CAN WORK TOGETHER, WE'RE GOING

TO HAVE A VERY FUNDAMENTALLY

DIFFERENT REPUBLICAN PARTY

THAT'S GOING TO HAVE OLD

FASHIONED BLUE DOG DEMOCRAT

PEOPLE THAT REPRESENT

THEMSELVES MORE LIKE REAGANITES

AND IT'S GOING TO AND IT'S

GOING TO BE A VERY STRONG

PARTY.

IT'S ALL PART OF A SHIFTING

ELECTORATE THAT MAKES THIS

PRESIDENTIAL RACE EVEN MORE

INTRIGUING.

DAVID BRODY, CBN NEWS,

WASHINGTON.

AND YOU COULD REFORM THE TO

THE SOUTHEAST WHERE SEARCH AND

RESCUE EFFORTS CONTINUE.

IT'S A WEEK SINCE HURRICANE

HELENE CAUSED HISTORIC FLOODING

ACROSS THE REGION BECOME THE

SECOND DEADLIEST STORM THIS

CENTURY WITH AT LEAST 190

PEOPLE KILLED AND HUNDREDS

STILL MISSING.

AND SHANNON BROWDER REPORTS

THE SHEER DEVASTATION IN THE

SOUTHEAST.

ENTIRE COMMUNITIES DECIMATED

FROM THE HISTORIC FLOODING

CAUSED BY HURRICANE HELENE.

THE DEATH TOLL STILL CLIMBING

AND HUNDREDS STILL MISSING

INCLUDING JOHN NORWOOD'S

FIANCEE.

WE LOOKED AND THERE WAS A 30

FOOT TALL WALL OF WATER AND

ROCKS DEBRIS JUST COMING AT US

AND IT JUST IT KNOCKED OUT

STRAIGHT DOWN OF US IN IT.

SHE WENT ONE WAY AND I WITH THE

OTHER LAST THING I SAID TO HER

WHEN I LOVE YOU.

AND THAT WAS THE LAST TIME I

SAW.

THEIR ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD IN

MARION, NORTH CAROLINA WAS

WIPED OUT.

JOHN WAS RESCUED ON THIS

STRETCHER.

HIS LEGS CRUSHED.

THEY'RE STILL LOOKING FOR

JULIE.

SHE IS LOVED MANY.

SHE'S SO STRONG.

LAUREN MIGHTY GER SAYS THEY'RE

STILL SEARCHING FOR HER.

SHE'S TAKEN ON CHILDREN THAT

AREN'T HERS AND SHE'S SHE'S

JUST THE STRONGEST WOMAN I

KNOW.

SO IT'S HARD NOT TO HOLD ON TO

THAT HOPE AND WE I MEAN I PRAY

EVERY DAY EVERY EVERY SECOND

THAT THAT SHE'S FOUND AND SHE'S

SAFE.

AFTER HITTING FLORIDA'S GULF

COAST LAST WEEK AS A CATEGORY

FOUR HURRICANE, HELENE MOVED

THROUGH THE CAROLINAS AND

TENNESSEE DRENCHING THE AREA

WITH RAIN.

DAYS LATER MANY ARE STILL

STRANDED CELL SERVICE OR

RUNNING WATER.

PATRICIA MIRANDA USING CREEK

WATER TO FLUSH TOILETS AND WASH

1000 TROOPS TO THE REGION.

THEY JOIN 6000 NATIONAL GUARD

CBN'S OPERATION BLESSING ON THE

THERE ARE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT

ARE TRAPPED UP IN THE MOUNTAINS

THERE'S STILL MARKERS SHOWING

EITHER WAY DO IT RIGHT NOW AND

NEWS ALL DAY OUR PLATFORMS.

WELL, ISRAEL IS KNOWN

TECHNOLOGIES THAT PROVIDE

SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS ALL OVER

THE WORLD.

NOW ONE ISRAELI COMPANY IS

TAKING ON A FRUSTRATING ISSUE

TRAFFIC.

PAUL STRAND REPORTS FROM TEL

AVIV.

A SYSTEM THAT'S AIMED AT

CLEARING TRAFFIC JAMS AND

IMPROVING.

OUR TRAFFIC EVERYBODY HATES IT.

BUT ONE ISRAELI COMPANY UP WITH

A SYSTEM TO MAKE TRAFFIC FLOW

MUCH MORE SMOOTHLY THAT CAN

EXACTLY WHEN NEEDED MORE

DRIVERS AWAY FROM POTENTIAL

ACCIDENTS ON SNARLED RUSH HOUR

COMMUTES.

IT'S AN INVENTION OF NO

TRAFFIC HERE IN TEL AVIV WHEN

THE COMPANY IS ENLISTED TO TAKE

OVER OVER A COMMUNITY'S TRAFFIC

SYSTEM.

NO TRAFFIC PUTS THESE SENSORS

AT INTERSECTIONS THAT THEN

CONNECT TO SOPHISTICATED

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

AND FROM THAT POINT ON THE

SYSTEM WORK BY ITSELF.

CEO TAO KREISLER SAYS THESE

ARTIFICIAL THEN WATCH MOVEMENTS

IN AND AROUND THOSE

INTERSECTIONS.

PRIVATE VEHICLES, BUSSES,

PEDESTRIANS, BICYCLE SCOOTERS,

WHATEVER A.I. THEN PROCEEDS TO

ORCHESTRATE TRAFFIC FLOW IN

ORDER TO KEEP SAFELY AND

QUICKLY.

THAT'S LED TO AMAZING

IMPROVEMENTS LIMITING THE TIME

MOTORISTS ARE HELD UP.

WE'VE MANAGED TO CUT

DRAMATIC AMOUNTS.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 70% OF

DELAYED TIME.

WITH VEHICLES MORE

COMPUTERIZED THAN EVER THIS NEW

SYSTEM WILL BE ABLE TO

COMMUNICATE DIRECTLY WITH

INDIVIDUAL.

THAT COULD LEAD TO A WARNING

ABOUT A PEDESTRIAN POTENTIALLY

IN A BLIND SPOT ABOUT TO CROSS

IN FRONT OF THEM.

ANOTHER SAFETY ELEMENT IS THE

SYSTEM'S ABILITY TO GAUGE IF AN

ONCOMING VEHICLE MIGHT RUN A

RED LIGHT.

IF SO, IT CAN ALERT NEARBY

DRIVERS WHILE CHANGING OTHER

LIGHTS TO RED AT THAT

INTERSECTION TO PREVENT

COLLISIONS.

WHEN ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN IT CAN

IMMEDIATELY CONTACT FIRST

RESPONDERS THEN GIVE THEM GREEN

LIGHTS ALL THE WAY ABOUT

PERCENT OF FATALITY CASES

HAPPENING IN THE FIRST HOUR

AFTER.

SO LITERALLY EVERY MINUTE OF

BILL SAVING LITERALLY LIVES.

RESEARCH SHOWS AN UPDATED

TRAFFIC SYSTEM IS SORELY NEEDED

NEEDED WORLDWIDE.

THAT'S BECAUSE AN ADDITIONAL 90

MILLION CARS HIT THE ROAD EACH

YEAR.

TRAFFIC CONGESTION 12%

ANNUALLY.

AS FOR THOSE LIGHTS THAT THAT

HOLD YOU UP BLOCK AFTER BLOCK,

THE WAY THAT WE ARE OPERATING

THEM IS IS REMAINED THE SAME

FOR THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS OR

SO AND THERE'S LITTLE TO NO

CONNECTION FROM INTERSECTION TO

INTERSECTION.

MOST OF THE INTERSECTIONS

OUT THERE ARE NOT CONNECTED TO

ANYTHING THEY JUST RUN BY

THEMSELVES WITH NO TRAFFIC

SENSORS AND ARTIFICIAL

INTELLIGENCE SATURATING A

CITY'S TRAFFIC GRID.

IT EACH INTERSECTION TO

COMMUNICATE WITH ALL THE

OTHERS.

THAT ALLOWS TO MAKE SPLIT

SECOND DECISIONS TO KEEP

TRAFFIC MOVING.

.

THESE SENSORS ARE DESIGNED TO

WITHSTAND THE WEAR AND TEAR

THAT COMES FROM CONSTANTLY

BEING OUT IN THE ELEMENTS.

IAN FOUNTAIN AND HIS LAB TECHS

INSURE EACH PIECE CAN STAND UP

TO THE MOST EXTREME CONDITIONS.

WE PUT THEM IN THE OVENS, WE

HEAT THEM, WE CALL THEM, WE ADD

HUMIDITY IN THAT'S A RANGE FROM

-31 TO A SUPER HOT 167 DEGREES.

NOW THAT A NUMBER OF STATES

STATES LIKE FLORIDA, ARIZONA

AND CALIFORNIA UTILIZE THE

SYSTEM NO TRAFFIC IS FOUND THAT

IN A MID-SIZED CITY ITS

PLATFORM HAS REDUCED WAITING

TIMES BY AS MUCH AS 50% OR

MORE.

THAT EFFICIENCY CAN REMOVE

26,000 TONS OF CO2 EMISSIONS

EACH YEAR.

THAT'S LIKE THE POLLUTION FROM

5700 CARS SIMPLY.

THE CHRYSLER IT'S ALL POSITIVE

TRANSFORMATION OUR LIFE

REDUCING EMISSIONS GENERATING

AMOUNTS OF TIME THAT WE CAN NOW

SPEND WITH OUR LOVED ONES AND I

THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS

THAT WE ARE THE MOST PROUD OF

LIKE LITERALLY TRANSFORMING THE

WORLD TO A BETTER PLACE.

THE ATMOSPHERE AND IN ISRAEL

MAKE IT EASIER FOR AN

INNOVATIVE SYSTEM LIKE NO

TRAFFICS HERE.

INNOVATORS ARE WELCOMED AND

CHERISHED.

SMART IS VALUED AND REWARDED.

AND ISRAELIS SEE THEMSELVES AS

PEOPLE PEOPLE WHO CAN SOLVE

GLOBAL PROBLEMS BOTH LARGE AND

SMALL WHO CAN DREAM UP

SOLUTIONS NOT YET SEEN BUT

WAITING TO BE DREAMED.

PAUL STRAND, CBN NEWS REPORTING

FROM TEL AVIV.

WHAT AN OBVIOUS CONTRAST

BETWEEN ISRAEL AND ITS

WONDERFUL ITS WONDERFUL CULTURE

OF INNOVATION OF A STARTUP

NATION.

JUST WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE THE

INNOVATION THAT'S COMING OUT

IT'S BEING APPLIED TO THE

NATION AND AND YOU LOOK AT THE

CONTRAST WHAT IS HAMAS DOING

FOR THE WORLD.

IT'S BUILDING TERROR TUNNELS.

IT'S BUILDING ROCKETS.

IT'S TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE.

WHAT IS HEZBOLLAH DOING FOR THE

WORLD?

IT'S JUST TRYING TO KILL

PEOPLE.

WHAT IS IRAN DOING FOR THE

WORLD?

IT'S JUST TO KILL PEOPLE.

WHEN YOU WHEN YOU SEE THE

CONTRAST, SEE JUST HOW

IMPORTANT IT IS FOR THE ENTIRE

WORLD TO DWELL SAFELY FOR THEM

TO BE THAT TRUE OF THE NATIONS

THAT THE PROPHET ISAIAH SAID

WHAT WHAT HAPPENED?

WONDERFUL THINGS CAN HAPPEN.

IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE COMES OUT

OF ISRAEL.

NOW WE'VE GOT SOMETHING A NEW

FILM IT'S CALLED THE GENIUS OF

ISRAEL AND IT SHOWS SHOWS WHY

CULTURALLY IS ISRAEL SO

INNOVATIVE WHAT IS SO UNIQUE

ABOUT IT?

IT'S AVAILABLE FROM CBN

FILMS AND IT'S YOURS FOR A GIFT

OF ANY DOLLAR AMOUNT YOU CAN

ISRAEL.

YOU CAN ALSO 4K STREAMING

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL US

WHY IS IT SO?

THIS FILM WILL ANSWER ALL THOSE

QUESTIONS AND MORE.

IT'S FOR A GIFT OF ANY DOLLAR

AMOUNTS.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS IS CALL

CALL NOW ONE 800 SIX SIX 1925.

WELL, WE'VE ALL HEARD THE

PHRASE POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS.

ISRAELIS DEMONSTRATE WHAT'S

CALLED POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH.

THIS TINY NATION HAS FACED WAR

AND ADVERSITY EVERY DAY OF ITS

EXISTENCE THROUGH EVERY

STRUGGLE.

THEY EMERGE STRONGER.

AND IT'S BECAUSE OF THE GENIUS

OF ISRAEL WHAT HAPPENED

HAPPENED ON OCTOBER 7TH.

I THINK NOBODY COULD COULD EVEN

IN HIS WILDEST DREAM THINK THAT

THIS COULD HAPPEN HAPPEN TO US.

NEVER IN THEY ASK PEOPLE HOW

SATISFIED ARE YOU WITH YOUR

YOUR LIFE.

ISRAEL DOESN'T HAVE A

LONELINESS CRISIS BUT WE'RE ALL

PART OF ONE BIG TRIBE.

AND ISRAELIS MORE CONNECTED.

SO THE QUESTION IS WHY?

WHAT IS ISRAEL DOING?

THE COUNTRY'S CULTURE IS

UNDERGIRDED BY THIS SENSE THAT

ISRAELIS ARE LOOKING FOR

ONE ANOTHER.

THE COUNTRY NEEDS YOU.

IT'S TIME SERVE.

AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT IT'S

ABOUT.

WELL, AARON ZIMMERMAN IS THE

WRITER AND DIRECTOR OF THE

GENIUS OF ISRAEL AND SHE'S WITH

US IN STUDIO.

AFTER HAVING SPENT THE PAST FEW

WEEKS AND ROCKET FIRE AND AIR

RAID SIRENS ISRAEL SO WE'RE

VERY GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK HERE.

AND I NO ONE'S HAPPIER THAN

I AM, HARRY TIMING IS

EVERYTHING RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, AS I'VE WATCHED ALL

OF THIS UNFOLD IN THE

NEWS NEWS, I JUST.

OCTOBER 7TH WAS SO JARRING AS

WAS 911 FOR THE UNITED STATES.

BUT A UNITY COMES OUT OF THOSE

MOMENTS.

LOYALTY COMES OUT OF THOSE

MOMENTS SOMETIMES OVER TIME

THAT FADES BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM

TO BE ISRAEL.

IT'S LIKE THESE MOMENTS SEEM TO

BRING THE COUNTRY TOGETHER,

STAND TOGETHER.

YOU CELEBRATE AND COMMEMORATE

EIGHT ISSUES THAT HAVE HAPPENED

YEARS AGO, DECADES AGO YOU

STILL STAND STRONG.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE DO YOU

THINK?

I'LL TELL YOU THE JEWISH PEOPLE

ARE THE MOST TRIBAL PEOPLE THAT

I HAVE EVER WHILE THERE IS

DIVISION AND WHILE WE HAVE SEEN

IT IN THESE PROTESTS WHICH

CONTINUE IN TEL AVIV, THE

DIVISION IS MORE AGAINST THE

GOVERNMENT ITSELF ARE PEOPLE

IT'S NOT UNLIKE AMERICA PEOPLE

ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SPECTRUM

AND AND IT'S A VERY SHARP

DIVISION.

HOWEVER THE ISRAELI PEOPLE

AMONG THEMSELVES ARE VERY

UNIFIED.

I DON'T KNOW PERSONALLY I KNOW

A LOT PEOPLE I PERSONALLY DON'T

KNOW ONE THAT THAT IS A

PERSONAL OF A HOSTAGE AND YET

THEY CARE ABOUT THESE HOSTAGES

AS IF THEY FAMILY.

THEY ARE ACTIVELY SAD AND

GRIEVING OVER THESE HOSTAGES.

THEY HAVE THIS INNER NEED TO GO

HELP PEOPLE AND I AND I SAW

THAT FIRSTHAND.

I WAS THERE ON OCTOBER SEVEN

AND I SAW IMMEDIATELY MY FILM

CREW.

I TOLD MY COSTUME DESIGNER SHE

WAS MY INSPIRATION FOR THIS

PROJECT BECAUSE SHE'S ALSO A

VERY GOOD COOK AND SHE

IMMEDIATELY THE DAY AFTER

OCTOBER EIGHT SHE'S GATHERING

ALL THE WOMEN IN HER APARTMENT

BUILDING AND THEY'RE COOKING

AND.

THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO

THEY'RE COOKING FOR YET.

THEY'RE JUST COOKING FAST MEALS

FOR SOLDIERS FOR DISPLACED

FAMILIES.

AND THIS IS AND IT'S NOT JUST

UNIQUE TO HER.

THIS IS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY

AND I SAW IT WHEN I SAW IT

SOMEBODY TO DOCUMENT THIS.

AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW WHEN

YOU SAY THAT GOD'S THAT THEY'RE

GOING WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU HAVE TO DOCUMENT THIS

HEROES, RIGHT?

YOU KNOW, I WANT YOU TO TALK A

LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE SENSE OF

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS BOND

AMONGST PEOPLE.

BUT SOME OF THAT IT SEEMS TO ME

COMES OUT OF HOW ISRAEL WAS

REESTABLISHED AS PEOPLE CAME

BACK.

MY VERY VERY FIRST TRIP TO

ISRAEL WAS LIKE IN THE EARLY 70

STATE ON A KIBBUTZ YOU KNOW,

GUNFIRE IN THE BACKGROUND BUT

THE KIBBUTZ LIVING GENERATES

WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

DOESN'T YES AND THAT WAS BY

NECESSITY BECAUSE WHEN THESE

EARLY SETTLERS STARTED IN THE

LATE 19TH CENTURY, THERE WERE

SO MANY RAIDERS BEDOUIN

RAIDERS, THERE WAS SO MUCH

DANGER ABOUT THEM THEY COULDN'T

JUST SAY I'M GOING TO GO BUY MY

OWN HOUSE.

THEY HAD TO LIVE COMMUNALLY.

THEY HAD TO THEY CALL THE

STOCKADE AND TOWER SETTLEMENTS

YOU KNOW THE WALL THE WALL

AROUND IT AND THE TOWER FOR THE

LOOKOUT.

AND SO BY NATURE IT IS A VERY

COMMUNAL SOCIETY.

BUT I ALSO THINK JUDAISM IS

LIKE THIS.

AND I ASKED THE AUTHOR OF THIS

BOOK ONE OF THEM IS A JEWISH

PERSON FROM NEW YORK, NOT FROM

ISRAEL AND YOU FEEL THE SAME

SENSE OF COMMUNITY AMONG YOUR

JEWISH FRIENDS IN NEW YORK.

AND HE SAID WE DO.

IT'S NOT THE WHOLE SOCIETY BUT

WE FEEL IT AMONG OURSELVES.

THEY ARE ONLY PEOPLE ON EARTH

WHO HAVE SURVIVED 2000 YEARS OF

EXILE NO MATTER WHERE THEY COME

FROM.

THEY ALL HAVE THAT IN COMMON

AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'LL WHAT

THEY'LL TELL YOU.

OUR INSTINCT IS SERVE IS FOR

SURVIVAL AND TO SURVIVE WE HAVE

TO BE TOGETHER AND WE HAVE TO

BE UNIFIED AND IT'S VERY

BIBLICAL EVEN WHEN IT COSTS

BECAUSE YOU KNOW, I THINK OF I

MEAN MY GENERATION WAS YOUNG

WHEN VIETNAM HAPPENED AND AND

PEOPLE WHO WHO THOUGHT THEY

MIGHT BE ENLISTED WERE LEAVING

FOR CANADA AND OTHER POINTS BUT

THE WAY THE MILITARY WORKS AND

UKRAINE THERE IS OF THIS IS MY

THIS IS MY LAND THESE ARE THESE

ARE MY PEOPLE THIS IS MY

RESPONSIBILITY EVERYBODY SERVES

EVERYBODY SERVES AND EVEN THE

PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE TO.

THE RESERVISTS THAT THEY WERE

CALLING UP WHO HAVE HAVE AGED

OUT OF THEIR NORMAL MILITARY

SERVICE SHOWED UP AT A RATE OF

140 TO 150%.

PEOPLE WERE SAYING LOOK I KNOW

I'M OLDER BUT LET ME DO

SOMETHING.

EVEN ORTHODOX JEWS WHOM DON'T

NORMALLY SERVE WERE SHOWING UP

AND SAYING WE WANT TO SERVE WE

WANT TO DO SOMETHING AND GIRLS,

THIS IS THE ONE THAT REALLY GOT

ME BECAUSE AS A AS A WOMAN IF I

KNEW I WAS GOING IN THE ARMY AT

18 I'D PROBABLY HAVE A HEART

ATTACK.

I JUST WOULDN'T WANT TO.

THESE GIRLS ARE NOT ONLY GOING

INTO THE ARMY ARE FIGHTING EACH

OTHER FOR SPACES IN COMBAT

UNITS.

THEY PROUD TO DO IT AND THEY'RE

RACING TOWARD IT AND IT'S JUST

AMAZING AMAZING TO WATCH.

TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE

CONCEPT OF TECHNOLOGY WHAT WHAT

IS THAT BECAUSE IT REALLY IS

TOTALLY BEHIND MUCH OF WHAT

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

LOVE THIS THAT'S A HEBREW

PHRASE MEANING TO REPAIR THE

WORLD BECAUSE WE BECAUSE WE ALL

KNOW EVERYTHING'S WRONG WITH

THE WORLD AND FOR SOME REASON

JEWISH ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE

WORLD FEEL THE RESPONSIBILITY

TO FIX THE WORLD IN AS MUCH AS

THEY CAN AND SO THEY DO IT IT

AND WE STARTED THIS FILM WITH A

QUOTE THAT SAYS YOU KNOW, THE

JEWISH PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIVE

ANOTHER WHICH IS VERY HEAVY IT

MEANS THAT ANY TIME TIME YOU

SEE A NEED AMONG THE JEWISH

PEOPLE YOU GO MEET IT AND

THAT'S FINE.

YES AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS

ABOUT.

BUT WE WANTED TO END THE FILM

ON THIS TIKKUN OLAM BECAUSE IT

MIGHT SOUND LIKE OH WELL GREAT

THE JEWS ARE ONLY HELPING

THEMSELVES WONDERFUL.

BUT THEN WE SHOW WHAT THEY'RE

DOING FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD

AND MANY TIMES FOR ARAB

COUNTRIES WITH WHOM THEY'RE

TECHNICALLY AT WAR STILL

HELPING THEIR ENEMIES.

EVEN ISMAIL HANIYA JUST

RECENTLY DEPARTED THE HEAD OF

HAMAS.

HE'S HAD MAYBE FIVE

RELATIVES I THINK TREATED IN

ISRAELI HOSPITALS.

SO WHICH ARE OPEN WHICH ARE

PEOPLE WANTING TO TREATED.

THEY FLEW HIM IN SECRETLY

FLEW THEM AND DIDN'T SAY

ANYTHING.

IT TREATED THEM QUIETLY AND

SENT THEM BACK.

YOU'RE WORKING ON THE FINAL

INSTALLMENTS OF THE ORACLES OF

OF GOD.

TALK ABOUT THAT.

WHAT'S THE PROJECT ABOUT AND

WHAT CAN WE.

OKAY.

WELL THIS IS PART OF A FIVE

PART SERIES ON THE CREATION.

WE RELEASED THE FIRST ONE LAST

YEAR THE OLD TESTAMENT.

.

NOW WE'RE WORKING IN THE NEW

TESTAMENT AND THIS HAS BEEN THE

MOST AMAZING THING TO SEE

BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING INTO

JESUS AND THE APOSTLES AND PAUL

AND THE WRITERS AND THE PEOPLE

WHO WHO CREATED AND CANONIZED

THE BIBLE AND WERE THE PROCESS.

YES.

BUT I HAVE ALL THESE SWEET

YOUNG ISRAELI AND THEY'RE

PLAYING JESUS AND THEY'RE

PLAYING THE APOSTLES AND THEY

ARE SAYING THE WORDS OF THE

SERMON ON THE MOUNT REENACTING

THE LAST SUPPER, THE LORD'S

PRAYER, THE CRUCIFIXION WILL BE

COMING UP AND THEY ARE SO FULL

OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR

CHARACTERS.

I WAS SITTING IN REHEARSAL

SPACE WITH THEM A FEW DAYS AGO

AND THEY'RE SAYING WELL WHAT

ABOUT THIS?

WHAT ABOUT THIS?

WHY IS THIS APOSTLE DOING THIS

?

I WAS TELLING THEM BIBLE

STORIES AND THEY SAID TO ME

THEY LOOKED AND THEY SAID WOW,

I HAVE ONLY HEARD THESE STORIES

IN SCHOOL.

AND I I SAID BOY, YOU WOULDN'T

HAVE THEIR CHRISTIAN STORIES.

SO WAS A REAL JOY AND THEY'RE

SO INTERESTED AND THEY GET

INVESTED IN AND I'M JUST SAYING

OKAY, MAYBE PART OF THE PURPOSE

FILM IS NOT EVEN FOR THE FILM

ITSELF BUT IT'S TO BE THERE

TELLING THEM THESE STORIES AND

JUST OPENING THEM A LITTLE BIT

AT A TIME, YOU KNOW?

SO MAYBE THEY FIND MESSIAH

SOMEDAY.

GOD'S ALWAYS DOING MORE THAN

ONE THING.

YES.

OH FOR SURE.

THEY'RE VERY INTENSE THINGS.

YES, ABSOLUTELY.

TO 71777 PAMS REAL FATHER A

MURDERER HER FOSTER DAD WAS A

SEXUAL PREDATOR FOR YEARS PAM

TRIED TO DRINK AWAY HER HER

PAIN AND WHEN THAT FAILED SHE

THOUGHT SUICIDE WAS HER WAY OUT

.

I REMEMBER I RAN UP AND DOWN

THE STREET JUST OVER AND OVER

AND OVER AGAIN.

IT WAS A HOT SUMMER DAY IN

RURAL ALABAMA WHEN OLD PAM

WHITEHEAD LEARNED HER FATHER

HAD BRUTALLY KILLED HER MOTHER.

HE WAS LATER SENTENCED TO 50

YEARS.

JUST SCREAMING AND UP AND

DOWN THE STREET.

EIGHT YEARS LATER PAM SEE

ANOTHER VIOLENT MAN GO TO

PRISON.

THE FOSTER WHO HAD TAKEN HER

AND HER YOUNGER SIBLINGS IN

AFTER HER WENT TO PRISON.

IT WAS PAM WHO REPORTED HIM

HIM TO POLICE FOR BEATING AND

SEXUALLY ABUSING THEM.

THE ANXIETY THAT WAS WITHIN ME

HONESTLY I COULD I COULD NOT

HOLD DOWN A LOT OF FOOD.

I WAS SO SCARED AT THAT TEN

YEAR OLD GIRL THAT I SEE IN

THAT PICTURE SO SCARED.

PAM WAS 11 WHEN SHE FIGURED OUT

ALCOHOL MADE LIFE.

I LIKED IT AND IT TOOK FEELING

THE PAIN AND SO I KNEW FROM

THAT IF I DIDN'T WANT TO

REMEMBER ANYTHING I DIDN'T WANT

TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING

I COULD JUST DRINK.

SHE HEAR ABOUT GOD AND JESUS

OCCASIONALLY WHEN HER FOSTER

TOOK PAM AND HER SIBLINGS TO

CHURCH.

I DIDN'T THINK HE CARED

ABOUT.

I DIDN'T THINK HE SAW ME.

IF YOU CARED ABOUT ME WOULD YOU

ALLOW THESE THINGS TO HAPPEN TO

ME?

PAM HAD ENDURED THE FOR

EIGHT YEARS BEFORE FINDING THE

COURAGE TO GO TO AUTHORITIES.

NOW 16 AND AN ALCOHOLIC SHE

TOOK LITTLE COMFORT WHEN HER

FOSTER DAD WAS GIVEN A 20 YEAR

SENTENCE AND DECIDED SWALLOWING

A BOTTLE OF PILLS WAS HER WAS

HER ONLY CHANCE FOR PEACE.

I NEEDED HELP.

I WAS DEPRESSED.

I WAS ANXIOUS.

I COULDN'T EAT.

I FELT TERRIBLE BECAUSE BROTHER

AND MY SISTERS WERE BEING

SEPARATED AND ALL OF THAT

COUPLED WITH THE TRIAL MY

FOSTER FATHER LED ME TO

SUICIDE.

.

WHILE THE FAILED SUICIDE

ATTEMPT EARNED HER A BRIEF STAY

IN A PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL, PAM

WOULD CONTINUE TO FIGHT

DEPRESSION.

SUICIDE ATTEMPTS FOR YEARS TO

COME.

NOT DRINKING NEVER CROSSED MY

MIND LIKE HOW HOW COULD I LIVE

WITHOUT IT?

I JUST THOUGHT THIS IS HOW I

HAVE TO LIVE THE REST OF MY

LIFE.

PAM'S TWENTIES WOULD BE A OF

DISAPPOINTMENTS AND FAILURES.

SHE JOINED AND GOT OUT OF THE

ARMY.

A MARRIAGE ENDED IN DIVORCE.

CUSTODY OF HER SON.

SHE GOT PREGNANT AGAIN.

HAD AN ABORTION TO FIGHT THE

DEPRESSION.

SHE USED USED ALCOHOL AND NOW

COCAINE TO FIGHT HER GROWING

FEARS OF OF BEING ALONE.

SHE TURNED TO SEX.

I HAD A LOT RAGE AND A LOT OF

ANGER AND SO THE IDEA WAS I'LL

GET BEFORE YOU GET ME BECAUSE I

DIDN'T TRUST ANYBODY.

FRIENDS TRIED TO TALK HER INTO

GETTING HELP BUT PAM, LISTEN.

NOW APPROACHING 30, SHE SHE

FELT BEYOND ANYONE'S REACH,

INCLUDING GOD'S.

THERE'S NO WAY I CAN COME

BACK FROM THE THAT I'VE DONE

THE LIES THAT I'VE TOLD THE

SECRETS I HAVE THAT NOBODY

KNOWS ABOUT.

HE KNOWS THAT THERE'S.

THEN ONE NIGHT AT A PARTY

SHE COULDN'T GET DRUNK NO

MATTER HOW MUCH ALCOHOL SHE HAD

.

AND THIS VOICE COMES OUT OF

NOWHERE AND.

SAYS TO ME THIS IS YOUR LIFE.

YOU'RE ALWAYS ON THE LOOKING

IN.

EVEN IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE

YOU STILL ALL ALONE.

BUT I'M WITH YOU.

AND I WAS LIKE, WHO IS THAT?

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT VOICE AND

I GOT MAD BECAUSE IT WAS THE

MOST HONEST THING I HAD EVER

HEARD IN MY LIFE.

IT WAS SO TRUE.

NO MATTER WHERE I WAS MATTER

WHAT ROOM I WAS IN, NO MATTER

WHO WAS THERE, I WAS STILL

ALONE.

PAM RETURNED TO AA AND THIS

TIME GOT SOBER.

EVEN THEN SHE REFUSED TO LET

GOD INTO HER LIFE.

FOUR YEARS LATER PAM NOW 32 WAS

ON THE VERGE OF ANOTHER DIVORCE

RAISING A DAUGHTER AND STILL

BATTLING DEPRESSION AND HER

FEARS THAT NO ONE WANTED HER.

SHE AGREED TO GO TO CHURCH

WITH A FRIEND WHO TOLD HER SHE

HAD FIND EVERYTHING THROUGH

JESUS CHRIST SITTING IN THE

SERVICE PAM REALIZED HER FRIEND

WAS RIGHT.

I WANT YOU.

I DID.

I WANT YOU AND I NEED YOU.

AND THAT DAY I ASKED HIM TO

COME INTO MY LIFE AND I

SURRENDERED.

HE GAVE ME HOPE BECAUSE I

DIDN'T HAVE ANY.

I HAD NONE.

PAM SAYS AS SHE PORED OVER

GOD'S WORD THE DEPRESSION AND

LONELINESS LIFTED, SHE WAS ALSO

ABLE TO FORGIVE THE MEN WHO

CAUSED SO MUCH PAIN AS SHE

FOUND THE FREEDOM TO MOVE

FORWARD HER LIFE.

I WANTED NOTHING MORE THAN

TO BE RID OF OLD LIFE.

AND SO THE SCRIPTURES CAME TO

ME AND I BELIEVED THEM.

I'VE STUDIED THEM AND THEY'RE

WRITTEN ON MY HEART AND NOW FOR

ME THAT'S IT'S ALIVE IN ME.

IT'S EVERYTHING.

TODAY BOTH PAM AND HER

HUSBAND ROBERT FOLLOWING CHRIST

AND ARE HAPPILY MARRIED AS THE

EXECUTIVE OF PRO LOVE

MINISTRIES.

SHE DRAWS ON WHAT JESUS IN HER

LIFE TO HELP OTHERS FEEL HIS

LOVE AND THEIR WAY.

I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE NOT IN

THIS FREEDOM.

THAT'S THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE.

IT REALLY IS THAT HOPE THAT WE

HAVE JESUS CHRIST IN KNOWING

THAT THIS ISN'T ALL THERE IS.

LIFE RIGHT HERE IS NOT ALL

THERE IS.

THERE IS IS MORE.

THERE IS MORE.

THIS LIFE ISN'T EVEN CLOSE

TO ALL IS.

YOU KNOW WHEN WE GO THROUGH

HARD TIMES OUR HEARTS BECOME

EMBITTERED TOWARD GOD BECAUSE

WE WONDER WERE YOU YOU KNOW,

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THIS

HAPPENED HAPPENED TO ME WHEN

THAT HAPPENED TO ME?

BUT WHEN GOD SPOKE TO HER TO

HER HE SAID I WAS WITH YOU.

I WAS WITH YOU.

FRIENDS WE LIVE IN A FALLEN

WORLD.

WE LIVE IN A FALLEN WORLD WHERE

UNFAIR THINGS HAPPEN WHERE BAD

THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE,

WHERE THERE ARE NO EXPLANATION

.

WE'VE SEEN THAT HAPPEN IN JUST

WORLD EVENTS RECENTLY JUST

RECENTLY NOT TO MENTION OVER

HISTORY IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL

GOD SAYS I AM WITH YOU.

HE'S WITH YOU.

IF YOU HAVE HARDENED YOUR

HEART BECAUSE OF THINGS YOU'VE

GONE THAT HAVE BEEN DONE TO YOU

PEOPLE THAT HAVE FAILED YOU

LISTEN GOD'S WITH YOU RIGHT NOW

?

RIGHT THIS MOMENT.

IT IS NOT A CHANCE THAT YOU'RE

HEARING PAM'S STORY OR THAT

YOU'VE TUNED INTO THIS PROGRAM

.

I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO WHAT

I'M GOING TO SAY TO YOU.

THIS THE BIBLE SAYS IF ANY MAN

IS IS IN CHRIST ANY MAN OR

WOMAN IS IN CHRIST, THEY BECOME

A BRAND NEW CREATION.

ALL THE THINGS PASS AWAY AND

ALL BECOME BRAND NEW.

I DON'T KNOW IN THE WORLD WHERE

YOU GET A START OVER LIKE THAT

BUT WHAT I WANT TO SAY PAST

DOES NOT HAVE TO DEFINE YOUR

YOUR FUTURE UNLESS YOU DECIDE

TO LET IT.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO DECIDE

DECIDE YOUR PRESENT.

YOU DECIDE TO LET IT TODAY MAKE

TO GET FREE.

JESUS SAID I CAME TO SET THE

CAPTIVES FREE.

FREE FROM WHAT?

FREE FROM THE LABELS FROM THE

HEARTACHE FREE FROM THE PAIN

FREE FROM THE HURT FREE FROM

ALL OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE

TRIED TO ROB OF WHAT GOD

CREATED YOU FOR.

BUT IT DOESN'T BE THAT WAY.

YOU CAN STOP RIGHT NOW AND DO

WHAT SHE DID.

YOU JUST SAY JESUS, I NEED NEED

YOU, I NEED YOU.

I WELCOME YOU MY HEART INTO MY

MIND THE WAY I THINK INTO

CIRCUMSTANCES.

I'M ASKING YOU TO FORGIVE MY

SINS AND TO HEAL ME I RECEIVE

THE PROMISE OF ETERNITY WITH

YOU.

THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

ABOUT ETERNITY.

I HAS NOT SEEN OR HAS NOT

HEARD.

NEITHER HAS IT ENTERED THE

HEART OF MAN THE THINGS THAT

GOD HAS PREPARED WHO LOVE HIM.

LET HIM LOVE YOU TODAY AND THEN

THEN LOVE HIM BACK AS HE GIVES

YOU A BRAND NEW BEGINNING A NEW

HOPE.
