ON TODAY'S 700 CLUB WELCOME TO
THE 700 CLUB ISRAEL.
ISRAEL'S ATTACK ON IRAN SENT
A STRONG MESSAGE TO TEHRAN AND
THE MIDDLE EAST.
THE JEWISH NATION IS ABLE TO
STRIKE MILITARY TARGETS AT AND
IS BECOMING THE DOMINANT POWER
IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
SATURDAY'S ATTACK DEALT A MAJOR
BLOW TO IRAN'S BALLISTIC
PRODUCTION, POSSIBLY SETTING IT
BACK FOUR YEARS AND NO ISRAELI
LOSSES.
CBN'S CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS
FROM JERUSALEM.
ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU SAID THE
ATTACK ON IRAN WAS PRECISE,
POWERFUL AND ACHIEVED ALL ITS
GOALS.
SHOWED THE BULK OF THE IN
THE EARLY HOURS OF SATURDAY.
WE KEPT OUR PROMISE.
THE AIR FORCE ATTACKED
THROUGHOUT IRAN.
WE SEVERELY DAMAGED IRAN'S
DEFENSE CAPACITY AND THE
ABILITY TO PRODUCE MISSILES
AIMED AT US.
ALL THIS AFTER THE LAST FEW
MONTHS WHERE WE ACTED
SYSTEMATICALLY ACCORDING TO A
SYSTEMATIC PLAN TO CUT THE ARMS
OF THE OCTOPUS OF IRAN,
HEZBOLLAH AND HAMAS.
YESTERDAY WE HIT THE HEAD OF
THE OCTOPUS THE REGIME.
COUPLE DAYS OF REPENTANCE.
THE OPERATION INCLUDED THREE
WAVES OF ATTACKS MORE THAN 100
WARPLANES AND STRUCK MORE THAN
1000 MILES FROM ISRAEL.
YET IDF CHIEF OF STAFF HALEVY
SAID ISRAEL USE JUST A PORTION
OF ITS CAPABILITIES.
SATELLITE PHOTOS SHOW THE
DAMAGE TO KEY IRANIAN MILITARY
INSTALLATIONS WHICH MAY HAVE
SET BACK IRAN'S PRODUCTION A
BALLISTIC MISSILES FOR YEARS.
ISRAEL ALSO DESTROYED DEFENSES
IN IRAQ, SYRIA AND IRAN AND
KNOCKED OUT STATE OF THE ART
S-300 AND 400 AIR DEFENSES.
FORMER U.S. AMBASSADOR TO
ISRAEL DAVID FRIEDMAN SAYS IT
SENDS A POWERFUL SIGNAL TO
IRAN.
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY I THINK
SENDING THE MESSAGE TO IRAN,
YOU KNOW, ANY TIME WE WANT WE
GOT YOU NOW ONCE WE KNOCK OUT
YOUR AIR SYSTEMS, YOU KNOW THAT
YOU KNOW WE HAVE FREE REIN OVER
YOUR COUNTRY AND WE DIDN'T DO
IT THIS TIME BUT YOU KNOW, KEEP
IT UP.
KEEP UP THIS NUCLEAR PROGRAM
AND YOU'LL SEE US BACK HERE IN
THE NEAR FUTURE.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS A GREAT
MESSAGE.
I MEAN I THINK THEY
ACCOMPLISHED SOME SHORT TERM
OBJECTIVES.
I THINK THE LONG TERM MESSAGING
I THINK WAS EQUALLY IMPORTANT.
SAUDI ARABIA CONDEMNED THE
ATTACK BUT DID NOT MENTION
ISRAEL.
THE ARAB WORLD IS CONDEMNING
PUBLICLY THE GCC, THE ARAB
LEAGUE CONDEMNING THE ATTACK
PUBLICLY.
BUT THE SECRET IN THE MIDDLE
EAST IS DON'T LISTEN TO WHAT
PEOPLE SAY.
WATCH WHAT THEY DO.
DAN DYKER OF THE JEWISH CENTER
FOR PUBLIC SAYS ISRAEL IS
EMERGING AS THE STRONG HORSE
THE MIDDLE EAST.
THE ARAB WORLD KNOWS THAT
WHAT ISRAEL JUST DID TO THE
IRANIAN REGIME AND WHAT IT DID
TO THE HAMAS AND THE HEZBOLLAH
BY KILLING OFF THEIR LEADERSHIP
AND DECIMATING THEIR COMMAND IS
TO ACTUALLY KILL THE ARCH ENEMY
THOSE VERY ARAB COUNTRIES THAT
WERE CONDEMNING ISRAEL'S IRAN
ISSUED A COMBINATION OF BLUSTER
AND RESTRAINT FOLLOWING THE
ATTACK, THE COMMANDER OF THE
IRANIAN REVOLUTIONARY GUARD
CORPS THREATENS THE
CONSEQUENCES OF THE ATTACK IN
IRAN WILL BE UNIMAGINABLE FOR
THE STATE OF ISRAEL.
IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER KHAMENEI
WARNED THAT THEY ARE YET TO
APPRECIATE IRAN'S POWER
CAPABILITY, CREATIVITY AND
WILLPOWER.
WE MUST MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND.
ON SUNDAY ISRAEL REMEMBERED
ALL THOSE SOLDIERS POLICE AND
SECURITY PERSONNEL WHO FELL ON
OCTOBER 7TH AND THROUGHOUT THE
WAR.
ISRAEL'S PRESIDENT ISAAC HERZOG
HONORED THEM.
PANORAMA OF THE MOST MOVING
FACES OF THE ISRAELI MOSAIC
JEWS AND DRUZE CHRISTIANS
MUSLIMS FROM VARIOUS
PERSPECTIVES AND WAYS OF LIFE
WHO SOUGHT TO PROTECT THE STATE
OF ISRAEL AND ITS CITIZENS WITH
DEVOTION, DETERMINATION AND A
SENSE OF UNMATCHED MISSION.
CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,
JERUSALEM WELL MY PRAYER IS
THAT THE CONFLICT WOULD END.
THIS WOULD BE THE SORT OF
THE LAST STRIKE IF YOU WILL.
IT WOULD PROVE THAT ISRAEL HAS
THE CAPABILITY OF STRIKING
WHENEVER AND WHEREVER IT WANTS
IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE
OTHER SIDE TO TAKE A REAL LONG
LOOK AT WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO
DO AND STAND DOWN IN THAT.
WOULD THERE BE A RELEASE OF THE
HOSTAGES WOULD THERE BE PEACE
FINALLY IN GAZA WOULD IN
SOUTHERN LEBANON TURN INTO A
D.M. STRIKE ZONE WITH NO MORE
WEAPONS, NO MORE HEZBOLLAH
ROCKETS INTO ISRAEL?
THAT THAT'S MY HOPE THAT'S MY
PRAYER.
WHILE THE PEACE WAS RUNNING
TERRIBLE IT MADE YOU THINK IT'S
OVER.
AND MY RESPONSE WAS NO, I DON'T
BECAUSE I'VE READ IN THIS BOOK
THAT IT'S NOT THERE WILL COME A
DAY WHERE ALL THE NATIONS WILL
GATHER JERUSALEM AND WE NOT
SEEN THAT THIS IS A BIRTH PANGS
AND BEEN A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
FOR ISRAEL.
A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE FOR THE
ENTIRE WORLD AND OUR WAYS
GETTING SET UP FOR EVEN MORE.
THE ANSWER IS QUITE CLEARLY YES
.
BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S A BIRTH
PANGS AND AS YOU KNOW, BIRTH
PANGS END AND THEN THERE'S A
PAUSE.
THEN THERE'S ANOTHER ONE.
IN OTHER NEWS, JUST EIGHT DAYS
TO GO AND THE PRESIDENTIAL
CAMPAIGN REMAINS A RACE.
FROM GRAHAM HAS THAT STORY AND
MORE FROM THE CBN NEWSROOM FROM
GORDON.
THE LATEST REAL CLEAR
POLITICS NUMBERS HAVE FORMER
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WITH A
0.1% LEAD OVER VICE PRESIDENT
KAMALA HARRIS NATIONALLY.
A RECENT CBS NEWS POLL HAS
HARRIS UP BY PERCENT OVER
TRUMP.
THE ECONOMY AND INFLATION ARE
THE MAJOR ISSUES ON THOSE
VOTERS MINDS.
AT A RALLY IN NEW YORK'S
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN LAST
NIGHT, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP PUSHED TO SHIFT THE
EMPIRE STATE IN THE GOP'S
DIRECTION.
VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS
WAS IN PHILADELPHIA STUMPING
THE SWING STATE OF
PENNSYLVANIA.
TODAY TRUMP WILL SPEAK TO HIS
FAITH ADVISORY BOARD IN
GEORGIA.
THE VICE PRESIDENT WILL BE
CAMPAIGNING IN MICHIGAN
VIRGINIA GENERAL IS APPEALING
THE STATE'S POLICY OF REMOVING
NON-CITIZENS FROM ITS VOTER
ROLLS TO THE US SUPREME COURT.
GOVERNOR GLENN EXECUTIVE ORDER
REMOVES THOSE WHO COULDN'T
PROVE CITIZENSHIP WITHIN DAYS.
SUNDAY A FEDERAL APPEALS COURT
STRUCK DOWN VIRGINIA'S TO A
LOWER COURT'S RULING STOPPING
THE PRACTICE.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION THE
SUIT ARGUING FEDERAL LAW
PROHIBITS STATES FROM REMOVING
NAMES FROM VOTER ROLLS 90 DAYS
BEFORE A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
.
TURNING OVERSEAS NOW TO A
TROUBLING DEVELOPMENT IN
RUSSIA'S WAR ON UKRAINE.
AT LEAST 3000 NORTH KOREAN
TROOPS ARE JOINING FORCES WITH
RUSSIA.
A MAJOR QUESTION CENTERS WHAT
VLADIMIR PUTIN MIGHT OFFER KIM
JONG UN IN RETURN FOR HIS
ASSISTANCE AND WHAT IT MIGHT
MEAN FOR GLOBAL.
OUR GARY LANE IS ON THIS
STORY.
THE PRESENCE OF NORTH KOREA
TROOPS IN UKRAINE CAME AS NO
SURPRISE TO NATIONAL SECURITY
ANALYST BRANDON WEICHERT.
DO WE KNOW CERTAIN THAT THE
NORTH KOREAN TROOPS ARE THERE
AND IS THIS AN ESCALATION?
ABSOLUTELY THEY'RE THERE AND
IN FACT THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY
NATION THAT HAS TROOPS IN THE
WAR ON BOTH SIDES.
WEIKERT IS AUTHOR OF A
DISASTER OF OUR OWN MAKING HOW
THE U.S. LAUNCHED.
THERE A
ACTORS FIGHTING EACH OTHER.
IT'S A PROXY WAR.
AND SO THIS IS JUST THE LATEST
ESCALATION AND A MOVE THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT SEES AS A DESPERATE
ACT BY RUSSIAN PRESIDENT
VLADIMIR PUTIN.
THIS IS AN INDICATION THAT
HE MAY BE EVEN IN MORE TROUBLE
THAN THAN MOST PEOPLE REALIZE
THAT HE HAS TO FARM THE
FIGHTING TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY I
THINK SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT MUCH
HIS MILITARY IS SUFFERING AND
HOW UNCERTAIN HE BELIEVES HOW
UNTENABLE HE BELIEVES HIS
SITUATION IS.
PUTIN IS STILL GOING ALL OUT
IN HIS EFFORT TO DEFEAT
UKRAINE.
THE RUSSIAN DUMA HAS APPROVED
RECORD DEFENSE OF $145 BILLION
FOR NEXT YEAR EQUALING A THIRD
OF THE COUNTRY'S TOTAL BUDGET.
ADDITIONALLY, RUSSIAN LAWMAKERS
HAVE RATIFIED THE STRATEGIC
PARTNERSHIP SIGNED BY PUTIN AND
KIM JONG UN LAST JUNE.
IT COMMITS BOTH COUNTRIES TO
PROVIDE IMMEDIATE MILITARY
ASSISTANCE TO EACH OTHER.
SO WHAT MIGHT NORTH KOREA
RECEIVE FOR HELPING PUTIN IN
UKRAINE?
WELL, THEY LIKELY GAVE HIM MORE
WEAPONS TECHNOLOGY.
THE NORTH KOREANS HAVE WANTED
TO GET MORE AND MORE ACCESS TO
GREATER LEVELS OF SOPHISTICATED
WEAPONS SYSTEMS.
SO I'M SURE, ON SOME LEVEL
THEY ARE ENGAGING IN SOME KIND
OF TRADE MAYBE OVER WEAPON
DEVELOPMENT ARMED WITH NUCLEAR
WEAPONS AND BALLISTIC MISSILES.
NORTH KOREA POSES A THREAT TO
BOTH AMERICAN ALLIES IN EAST
AND THE UNITED STATES ITSELF.
SOUTH KOREAN PRESIDENT YOON
SOOK YOU'LL SAYS NORTH KOREA'S
MILITARY PRESENCE IN UKRAINE
COULD LEAD HIS COUNTRY TO
PROVIDE LETHAL SUPPORT IN THE
FIGHT AGAINST RUSSIA.
FORMER BRITISH PRIME MINISTER
DAVID CAMERON HAS SUGGESTED
THAT INDIAN PRIME MINISTER
MODI, A PUTIN ALLY COULD BE A
POTENTIAL NEGOTIATOR IN PEACE
TALKS.
WEICHERT WARNS THAT AN EFFORT
SHOULD BE PURSUED BY THE WEST
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
I THINK ANYTHING THAT ENDS
THE WAR AS QUICKLY AND
PEACEFULLY AS POSSIBLE IS WHAT
WE NEED.
THE UKRAINIAN WAR HAS BECOME AN
INSUPERABLE IN THE
INTERNATIONAL BODY AND IT IT'S
TO LEAD IF WE'RE NOT CAREFUL TO
WORLD WAR THREE.
GARY CBN NEWS.
AN END TO THE WAR IS
DESPERATELY NEEDED.
GORDON ABSOLUTELY IS
DESPERATELY NEEDED IS
DESPERATELY NEEDED FOR ALL THE
CIVILIANS ON THE UKRAINE THE
HORROR THAT THEY HAVE PUT UP
WITH NOW FOR YEARS WITH RUSSIA
TARGETING HOSPITALS TARGETING
TARGETING POWER PLANTS,
KIDNAPING PEOPLE AND TAKING
THEM INTO RELOCATING CHILDREN.
ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING
AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY SILENT.
THEY'VE USED RAPE AS A WEAPON
OF WAR.
THERE SEEMS TO BE NO
CONSEQUENCE FOR IT.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THIS IS A SIGN
THAT THEY'RE LOSING THE WAR.
LET'S HOPE THAT THEY LOSE IT
QUICKLY AND LET'S IT DOESN'T
YOU CAN GET HIM ON THE LINE.
STAY CONNECTED WITH CBN
NEWS ALL DAY ACROSS OUR
PLATFORMS.
WELL, UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN
LIVING IN A CAVE FOR THE LAST
TWO MONTHS, YOU KNOW THAT
HARRIS AND TRUMP HAVE OPPOSING
WORLDVIEW AS WELL.
SOME OF THAT DIFFERENCE IS DUE
TO THEIR DIFFERENT PERCEPTIONS
OF THE BIBLE.
CBN'S CHIEF POLITICAL DAVID
BRODY TAKES A LOOK AT HOW A
HARRIS ADMINISTRATION BE
INFLUENCED BY HER FAITH.
GOOD AFTERNOON CHURCH.
GOOD AFTERNOON.
IN THESE LAST WEEKS BEFORE
ELECTION DAY, KAMALA HAS
INTENTIONALLY HEADED TO THE
PEWS HOPING TO MAKE CLEAR THE
ROLE FAITH PLAYS IN HER VISION
FOR AMERICA.
LET US AS THE GOOD SAMARITAN
DID SEE IN THE FACE OF A
STRANGER A NEIGHBOR.
OURS IS A LOVING GOD.
ONE MUST DO JUSTICE, LOVE,
MERCY AND WALK HUMBLY WITH OUR
GOD.
IT'S BEEN A CONSTANT THEME
THROUGHOUT HER LIFE.
ACCORDING TO INFLUENTIAL
DEMOCRAT LEAH DAUGHTRY, A CLOSE
FRIEND OF 20 YEARS.
IT FEELS LIKE LIKE A SOCIAL
JUSTICE GOSPEL COMPASSION.
HOW WOULD YOU TERM?
I DON'T KNOW IF I PUT A
LABEL ON IT A SOCIAL JUSTICE
GOSPEL AS MUCH AS HOW DO YOU
HELP PEOPLE THRIVE?
GOVERNMENT HAS A ROLE.
AND SO WHETHER IT'S HELPING
PEOPLE TO BUY THEIR FIRST HOMES
OR WHETHER IT'S HELPING
CHILDREN TO GO TO GOOD SCHOOLS
WHICH GIVES THEM THE FOUNDATION
TO BECOME WHOEVER THEY WANT TO
BE.
IT'S REALLY GROUNDED IN THOSE
EARLY LESSONS THAT SHE LEARNED
IN CHURCH AND IT'S A LESSON SHE
OFTEN MENTIONS AT AN EARLY AGE.
I LEARNED THAT FAITH IS A VERB.
IT IS SOMETHING WE IN ACTION
AND IN SERVICE.
THAT VIEW OF HER FAITH BEING
USED AS A VERB STARTED HERE IN
BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA DURING THE
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL YEARS AS A
MATTER OF FACT.
THIS IS ONE OF THE HOMES THAT
SHE LIVED IN DURING HER TIME
HERE IN BERKELEY.
AND IT WAS ON SUNDAY WHEN HER
MOM DRESSED HER AND HER SISTER
UP IN THEIR SUNDAY BEST.
THAT'S WHEN THEY WENT ABOUT 20
MINUTES OR SO FROM HERE DOWN
INTO OAKLAND 23RD AVENUE CHURCH
OF GOD WHERE THE LEARNING
REALLY.
SO WE WENT INSIDE AND SPOKE
WITH LEAD PASTOR EDWARDS, A
CLOSE FRIEND OF THE VP.
HE PAINTED A PICTURE OF WHAT
YOUNG KAMALA WOULD HAVE
EXPERIENCED HERE.
THESE PEOPLE SPENT TIME
TOGETHER.
THEY DID LIFE TOGETHER.
SO IT WASN'T WALKING INTO A
BUILDING SINGING AND LEAVING.
BUT THESE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN
EACH OTHER'S LIVES.
FOR HARRIS THAT INCLUDED
REGINA SHELTON WHO LIVED
DOWNSTAIRS FROM THE FAMILY AND
RARELY TOOK THEM TO CHURCH.
SHE STEPPED BECAUSE HARRIS'S
MOTHER, A HINDU, WORKED LONG
HOURS MANY WEEKENDS.
MISS SHELTON WAS OUR SECOND
MOTHER.
SHE WAS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER
AND I WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY
WITHOUT HER.
IT'S JUST SIMPLY MISS
SHELTON BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR.
SHE WAS ALREADY WATCHING THEM
AS KIDS WHEN HER MOTHER WOULD
BE AWAY FOR WORK OR STAYING
LATE FOR WORK.
IT'S JUST AN OUTGROWTH OF BEING
A GOOD NEIGHBOR SAYING HEY, IF
YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HERE AT
THE HOUSE, LET ME INTRODUCE YOU
TO THIS COMMUNITY OF CHURCH OF
BELIEVERS AT 23RD AVENUE.
THE STRONG LOVE THY NEIGHBOR
APPROACH, HOWEVER, HASN'T
QUELLED CRITICS.
DESPITE HARRIS TALKING LIKE
THIS AT A RECENT CNN TOWN HALL.
DO YOU PRAY EVERY.
I DO PRAY EVERY DAY.
I DO PRAY EVERY DAY SOMETIMES
TWICE A DAY.
CONSERVATIVES AREN'T BUYING
IT.
IT'S VERY SIMPLE.
EVERY AMERICAN WHO CONSIDERS
HIMSELF CONSERVATIVE OR
CHRISTIAN HAS A MORAL
OBLIGATION VOTE AGAINST KAMALA
HARRIS.
OVERALL CONSERVATIVE SEE HER
AS PROMOTING ANTI BIBLICAL
POSITIONS.
THEY INCLUDE HER STAUNCH
PRO-CHOICE POSITION BEING
AGAINST RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS ON
ABORTION, EMBRACING POLICIES
THAT PROMOTE LGBT AND MULTIPLE
GENDER LIFESTYLES PLUS A
SKEPTICISM THAT S
PERCENT SUPPORTIVE OF ISRAEL
BASED ON MIXED MESSAGING.
IN ADDITION, HER PASTOR AMOS
BROWN HAS ESPOUSED LIBERAL FOR
DECADES.
RECENTLY HE CALLED BEING GAY
GODLY.
THANK YOU GOD THAT WE CAN
LIVE ON AND SAY I THANK THEM
THAT I'M A WOMAN BUT I'M WISE.
I'M GAY.
BUT I'M GODLY AND STRAIGHT.
BUT I'M SENSIBLE.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO FOLKS
THAT SAY SHE'S NOT A CHRISTIAN?
MY RESPONSE WOULD BE WORK
OUT YOUR OWN SOLE SALVATION
WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING.
THE OTHER PART OF THAT IS MY IS
THAT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT GOD
IS MORE INTERESTED IN WRITING
MORE LAWS MORE THAN HE'S
INTERESTED IN WRITING ON
PEOPLE'S HEARTS.
I MAY HAVE A BELIEF, A STANCE
BUT IF I CAN'T LOVE MY NEIGHBOR
TO SOFTEN THEIR HEART THAT GOD
CAN WRITE ON THEN IT'S GOING TO
BE A LESSON IN FUTILITY.
BOTTOM LINE HARRIS SEES
FAITH THROUGH ACTION,
COMPASSION AND ULTIMATELY
COMMUNITY THANKS TO HER CHILD
CHURCH EXPERIENCE.
I GREW UP IN THE BLACK
CHURCH.
I UP I GREW UP ATTENDING 23RD
AVENUE CHURCH OF GOD IN
OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA.
THAT'S.
YES, THAT IS CHURCH.
KAMALA HARRIS SAYS POINT BLANK
I GREW UP IN THE BLACK CHURCH.
WELL, HERE WE ARE.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
SIMPLY THAT THE WHEN WE SAY THE
BLACK CHURCH IT'S THE UNIQUE
EXPERIENCE OF OUR BEING MORE
THAN JUST A PLACE OF WORSHIP.
LEE DAUGHTRY KNOWS THE BLACK
CHURCH EXPERIENCE WELL.
IT'S HOW SHE UP TOO.
SO IN THE BLACK CHURCH
EXPERIENCE IT'S PERSONAL.
YOU KNOW EACH OTHER YOU KNOW
PEOPLE'S NAMES.
YOU KNOW THEIR YOU KNOW THEIR
MOTHERS NAMES.
YOU COME AS A FAMILY UNIT AND
IF YOU COME BY YOURSELF YOU
MAKE FAMILY AT THE CHURCH.
SO AS WE NEAR ELECTION DAY
PRAYERS WILL GOING UP FOR THE
VP.
LONG THE NAME OF JESUS I PRAY A
HITCH FENCE OF PROTECTION
AROUND YOUR DAUGHTER NO HURT
HARM BUT DANGER AND THE SAME IS
TRUE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
WE'RE GOING TO PRAY FOR THE
WILL OF GOD FOR HIM TO BE THE
NEXT VOICE THAT IMPRESSION NO
MATTER WHICH CANDIDATE
PREVAILS.
PASTOR EDWARDS KNOWS
ULTIMATELY GOOD NEWS.
I DON'T LOSE HOPE BECAUSE A
CANDIDATE DOESN'T WIN BECAUSE
MY HOPE IS IN CHRIST.
AT THE END OF THE DAY I WANT TO
SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD WIN.
SO EVEN IF MY CANDIDATE DOESN'T
GET IN, JESUS IS STILL LORD GOD
IS STILL ON THE THRONE.
DAVID BRODY, CBN
NEWS REPORTING FROM CALIFORNIA.
THAT WAS A VERY WISE AT THE
END OF THAT PASSAGE THAT
SEGMENT YOU YOU YOU LOOK AT THE
CURRENT STATE OF THE DIVISION
OF POLITICS IN AMERICA AND YOU
GO IS THIS HOPELESS?
CAN WE EVER SEE THE OTHER SIDE?
WE'RE HAVING ONE SIDE CALL THE
OTHER SIDE HITLER WE'RE HAVING
THE OTHER SIDE COME BACK AND
SAY ALL THE SUPPORTERS SHOULD
BE KILLED.
I MEAN THESE THINGS ARE THE
RHETORIC IS TO A LEVEL THAT IS
TRULY UNBELIEVABLE AND WITH
THAT RHETORIC HAS HAS COME TO
ASSASSINATION AND YOU LOOK AT
THIS AND HOW CAN WE EVER HEAL
AS A NATION.
WELL, THE GOOD NEWS IS
REGARDLESS OF WHO WINS, GOD IS
STILL ON THE THRONE.
HE STILL ABLE TO ANSWER OUR
PRAYERS AND I HOPE AFTER THIS
CONTENT THIS ELECTION WE CAN
COME TOGETHER AND STILL BE
ONE NATION UNDER GOD,
INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND
JUSTICE FOR ALL.
LET'S NOT HAVE THESE WORDS BE
ASPIRATIONAL PLEASE LET US MAKE
IT REAL AND PLEASE LET'S STOP
DEMONIZING THE OTHER SIDE.
WE CAN'T FORWARD IF THEY'RE
THAT'S 885 1717.
CALL NOW 20 MILLION PEOPLE
TUNED INTO THIS YEAR'S WORLD
SERIES.
THE DODGERS WON THE FIRST TWO
GAMES SO TONIGHT SERIES RETURNS
TO THE BRONX FOR GAME THREE.
CBN'S WILL DAWSON SPOKE WITH
SOME OF THE BEST PLAYERS IN
BASEBALL ABOUT A PRIZE THAT'S
WORTH MUCH MORE THAN A
CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY.
THIS YEAR'S FALL CLASSIC IS
ALL ABOUT BRANDS AND STAR
POWER.
THE YANKEES AND DODGERS ARE
BASEBALL BLUEBLOODS BUT WHAT
STRUCK ME MOST ABOUT TALKING
WITH THE PLAYERS WAS THE AND
VICTORIES EACH BASED ON THE WAY
TO THIS YEAR'S WORLD SERIES.
HEY, AARON, I'VE GOT A
THEOLOGICAL QUESTION FOR YOU.
THE BIBLE IS FULL OF ADOPTION
IMAGERY.
DOES THAT HELP YOU CONSIDERING
YOUR.
DOES IT HELP YOU UNDERSTAND
GOD'S LOVE MORE?
DEFINITELY.
IS IT IS LOVE IS INCREDIBLE.
IT'S HAS NO ENDS, YOU KNOW AND
YOU KNOW THE POSITION I WAS IN
BEING ADOPTED BY MY PARENTS YOU
KNOW FOR THEM TO TO PICK ME
CHOOSE ME TO PUT ME IN THEIR
LIVES IT'S INCREDIBLE TO NOTICE
THAT.
IF YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD ME BACK
THEN WHEN I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD
I'D BE IN A WORLD SERIES WITH
THE YANKEES, BE THE CAPTAIN OF
THE YANKEES.
YOU KNOW, I NEVER I NEVER GOT
TO BELIEVE YOU BUT JUST, YOU
KNOW, HAVING HIS BLESSINGS, YOU
KNOW, KEEPING THE FAITH THROUGH
GOOD TIMES AND BAD TIMES OH,
HE'S ALWAYS WITH ME.
IT'S DEFINITELY HELPED ME GET
TO THIS POSITION.
I STARTED THE YEAR ON THE
INJURED LIST AND YOU KNOW, I
DIDN'T NECESSARILY KNOW WHEN I
WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO PLAY
THIS YEAR BUT I THINK HAVING MY
FAITH GUIDE ME ALONG THE WAY
WHERE I WAS ABLE TO YOU KNOW,
KNOW THAT GOD HAD A PLAN HAD A
PLAN FOR MY SEASON AND I THINK
NOW LOOKING BACK ON IT IT WAS
TOUGH TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT WAS
AT THE TIME BUT NOW LOOKING
BACK ON IT I THINK JUST BEING
DRAWN WITH MY FAITH HAS ALLOWED
ME TO, YOU KNOW, BE BE CALM
THROUGH EVERYTHING YOU KNOW, I
HAVE A SENSE OF PEACE
REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS AND
I THINK THAT HELPED ME GET
THROUGH THIS THAT TRYING FIRST
PART OF THE YEAR STILL ANY
TESTIMONY I'D KIND OF GOTTEN
BEATEN DOWN BY BASEBALL IN MY
LIFE AND JUST KIND OF PUT A LOT
OF VALUE INTO IT AND WAS
STRUGGLING REALLY DIDN'T KNOW I
FELT LOST JUST KIND OF DECIDED
TO
THINK I GOT BAPTIZED FOR THE
FIRST TIME DECEMBER 10TH THIS
PAST YEAR.
SO GOD IS GOOD MAN.
HE REDUCED IN VERY OBVIOUS WAYS
SOMETIMES.
YEAH, DEFINITELY A BLESSING TO
BE HERE.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOU TO
HAVE WITH YOU HERE AT THE WORLD
SERIES?
THANK YOU FOR ASKING THAT.
IT MEANS EVERYTHING THE JOURNEY
THAT I'VE GONE ON IS AN
INDIVIDUAL SPIRITUALLY YOU
KNOW, WITH MY FAMILY THE UPS
AND DOWNS, THE HURT THAT I
FELT, THE HURT THAT I'VE CAUSED
AND THE GROWTH OUT OF THOSE
THOSE MOMENTS OF PAIN HAVE BEEN
,YOU KNOW, LIFE CHANGING TO
SAY THE LEAST.
BUT TO KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW,
CHRIST IS REDEEMING THAT
EVERYTHING THAT I'VE HAD
SUCCESS, EVERYTHING THAT I'VE
BEEN BLESSED THAT COMES FROM
HIM IS THAT'S REALLY SPECIAL TO
ME AND TO BE ABLE TO BE IN THIS
VERY POSITION THAT I PRAYED FOR
ALMOST UNDOUBTEDLY JUST SOME
MONTHS AGO SHOWS THAT GOD DOES
ANSWER PRAYERS AND HE ANSWERS
FAR AND BEYOND WHATEVER I CAN
IMAGINE WITH ALL HIS GLORY
GRACE I THINK WE WANT HIM IN
HERE.
WE WANT TO BE PART THIS.
WE WANT HIM BACK WHERE WE ARE.
I THINK WITHOUT HIM I COULDN'T
BE I AM SO I THINK IT'S ONE OF
THE BIGGEST THINGS IN MY LIFE.
I'M ALWAYS THRUSTING ON THEM
EVERYTHING HE DOES FOR ME IS
JUST INCREDIBLE AND I CAN I CAN
BE MORE.
THANKS FOR HAVING GOD AND
BEING ABLE TO LOOK LOOK TO HIM
TIMES OF NEED OR IN TIMES OF
SUCCESS.
I THINK THAT THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT HAS KEPT ME
GROUNDED.
YOU KNOW YOU CAN GET LOST IN
THE DAY TO DAY WITH THE SEASON
AND HOW REPETITIVE IT IS.
I THINK IF YOU RECONNECT ONCE A
DAY I THINK THAT WILL HELP YOU.
IT HELPS ME A LOT.
JUST TRY TO SEPARATE THE DAYS
AND NOT GET LOST IN IT.
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS
AND HE'S MY EVERYTHING.
I MEAN I WOULDN'T BE HERE
WITHOUT MY RELATIONSHIP WITH
JESUS.
YOU KNOW GOD'S BLESSED ME WITH
ALL THESE TALENTS ON A BASEBALL
FIELD AND MY WAY OF PAYING IT
BACK IS HONORING HIM WITH THEM.
AND SO WHEN I'M ON THE MOUND
THAT'S MY FORM OF WORSHIP.
THIS I DRAW ACROSS AND POINT
OUT SO PEOPLE KNOW WHO I PLAY
FOR ALL MY KIDS TO SEE GOD'S
FAITHFULNESS AND HOW WE REWARD
HIM WITH OUR WITH OUR ABILITIES
SO HE'S SEEN A COUPLE OF MANY
MIRACLES IN MY HOUSE OVER THE
LAST FEW YEARS AND THROUGHOUT
MY CAREER AND SO IT'S BY HIS
GRACE THAT I'M STILL HERE.
PLAQUE CONGRATULATIONS FOR
BEING HERE.
THERE IS NO BIGGER STAGE RIGHT
THAN THIS BUT YOU'VE GIVEN YOUR
HEART TO CHRIST, RIGHT?
YEAH.
AND SO YOU KNOW HOW TO KEEP
THIS WHOLE MOMENT IN
PERSPECTIVE FOR YOU.
TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THAT.
YEAH, I THINK FOR ME AND WHEN
YOU'RE WHEN YOU'RE A
PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE AND WHEN
YOU'RE AT THIS STAGE I THINK
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A REALLY GOOD
FOUNDATION KNOW OBVIOUSLY THIS
IS A DREAM COME TRUE AND A
BLESSING TO BE ABLE TO BE AT
THIS STAGE AND PLAY AT THIS
LEVEL AND OBVIOUSLY PLAY ON THE
WORLD STAGE THIS WEEK.
BUT FOR ME I KNOW WHAT REALLY
MATTERS AND I TRY TO KEEP
THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE.
IT'S ALWAYS AMAZING ISN'T
IT, TO HEAR HOW MANY PLAYERS IS
ON THESE VARIOUS ATHLETIC TEAMS
THAT ARE FOLLOWING JESUS.
IT'S ALSO I THINK ALWAYS A
POINT TO BE THOUGHT ABOUT AND
CONSIDER THAT IN SPITE OF THEIR
FAME, IN SPITE OF THE PLACE
THAT GOD HAS PUT THEM THIS
POSITION OF RECOGNITION AND
EVEN EXPERTISE AND WHAT IT IS
THEY DO THEY'RE ALL TALKING
ABOUT THE SAME THINGS YOU AND I
FACE.
YOU KNOW WE HAVE TIMES IN OUR
LIVES WHERE EITHER BECAUSE OF
JUST THE SHEER REPETITION OF
DAY TO DAY LIFE OR BECAUSE OF
SPECIFIC SITUATIONS THAT WE
ENCOUNTER IN LIVES OUR FAITH IS
CHALLENGED EACH.
ONE OF THEM SAYING I'M HERE
TODAY, I'M WHERE I AM.
I'M WHAT I DO BECAUSE THE
PRESENCE OF CHRIST IS WITH ME
YOU KNOW THAT'S TRUE FOR YOU
TOO.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU'VE
WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT'S GOING
ON IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW?
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU EVEN
FEEL IT.
THE PRESENCE OF JESUS IS WITH
US WHEN WE COMMIT OUR LIVES TO
HIM AND IT MAKES ALL DIFFERENCE
IN THE WORLD TROPHIES,
ACCOLADES TITLES THEY ALL ARE
TEMPORARY.
THEY FLY IN THE WIND BUT JESUS
IS FOREVER HE SAYS HE'LL NEVER
LEAVE US OR FORSAKE US.
HE GIVES US WHAT WE NEED IT
SAYS NOT BY MIGHT NOR POWER BUT
BY MY SAYS THE LORD.
AND THAT'S A PROMISE TO THOSE
OF YOU WHO BELIEVE SO STAND ON
THAT.
I WANT TO SAY TO YOU TODAY IF
YOU HAVE SOMETHING GOING ON IN
YOUR LIFE AND YOU JUST NEED
SOMEONE TO TALK TO ABOUT IT,

MATT HUDSON WENT FROM
LIVING IN A STORAGE CONTAINER
TO SLOWLY DYING ON A HOSPITAL
BED AND HE WAS JUST THE AGE 40
YEARS OLD.
HE SPENT HIS LAST FEW YEARS
HOOKED DRUGS.
AS HE GOT CLOSER TO THE END.
THE WORST PART WAS THE TERRIBLE
FEELING THAT HE WAS UTTERLY.
JANUARY 20TH 1840 YEAR OLD MATT
HUDSON LAY IN A PASSENGER IN A
CALIFORNIA HOSPITAL CLOSE TO
DEATH.
THE LIFELONG DRUG ADDICT HAD
BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH AN
INCURABLE DISEASE.
I WAS REALLY AFRAID TO DIE
AT THIS POINT.
I WAS REALLY AFRAID TO.
WHAT FRIGHTENED THE
SELF-PROCLAIMED ATHEIST EVEN
MORE WAS THE FEELING OF BEING
SEPARATED FROM GOD.
FELT THIS EXTREME SEPARATION
AND THIS EXTREME LONELINESS YOU
KNOW.
MATT WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL WHEN
HE TURNED FROM GOD AND CHURCH.
ALTHOUGH HE GREW UP IN A LOVING
CHRISTIAN HOME HE IDENTIFIED
MORE WITH THE SECULAR ATHEISTIC
IDEAS OF A POPULAR RADIO HOST.
I LISTEN TO HIM EVERY DAY.
THAT WAS REALLY THE VOICE IN
MY HEAD.
HE WOULD TALK ABOUT HIS
INSECURITIES AND STUFF, YOU
KNOW.
SO WE LINED UP A LOT.
HIS CHILDHOOD WAS A LOT LIKE
AND THEN YOU GET INTO THE WHOLE
THING HE'S IN.
HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN GOD AND
STUFF LIKE THAT.
HAVING LEFT HIS FAITH BEHIND
,MATT FILLED THE EMPTINESS
WITH DRINKING AND DRUGS.
HE TRIED COLLEGE BUT WHEN THAT
DIDN'T PAN OUT HE WENT TO WORK
FOR THE FAMILY BUSINESS FOR
YEARS.
DESPITE HIS GROWING ADDICTION
MATT MANAGED TO FUNCTION AT
WORK IN LIFE.
HOWEVER, AFTER A DECADE AND
HALF THE DRUGS HAD TAKEN OVER
THAT LEFT HIS BROTHER WHO NOW
RAN THE COMPANY WITH CHOICE BUT
TO LET MATT GO.
IT WAS EMBARRASSING AND STUFF
AND I WANTED MY JOB BACK AND
STUFF AND I WAS REALLY ANGRY AT
MY BROTHER.
DESPITE THE HEARTACHE AND
TROUBLES MATT CAUSED, HIS
FAMILY NEVER STOPPED FOR HIM
ESPECIALLY HIS SISTER SARAH.
HAD TO KEEP BELIEVING THAT GOD
WOULD TURN HIS LIFE AROUND AND
I JUST KEPT SAYING, YOU KNOW I
KNOW WHO THAT IS.
I EXPERIENCED THAT GROWING AS A
CHILD.
WE CAN'T GIVE UP ON OUR.
AFTER GETTING FIRED, MATT MOVED
INTO A SPARSELY STORAGE
CONTAINER ON HIS PARENT'S
PROPERTY.
HE CALLED HIS NEW HOME THE BEN.
YOU JUST KEEP USING AND YOU
JUST STUFF IT DOWN.
STUFF IT DOWN STUFF DOWN BUT
THERE IS SO MUCH SHAME I WAS
AFRAID OF OF WHERE I WOULD GO
IF I DIED BUT I STILL COULDN'T
QUIT.
THEN IN DECEMBER 2017 WHEN
MATT
THE BEN AFTER SPENDING TIME
WITH HIS FOR CHRISTMAS HE BEGAN
TO SEE HOW HE HAD WASTED HIS
LIFE.
I WOULD HAVE THESE MASSIVE
PANIC ATTACKS LIKE OH MY GOSH,
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH MY
LIFE?
HOW AM I EVER GOING TO STOP?
I GOT ON MY KNEES AND I CRIED
OUT TO GOD AND I SAID GOD, I
GIVE YOU MY LIFE.
I'M SO SORRY I MISSED
EVERYTHING UP.
BUT MATT STILL COULDN'T STOP
USING.
THEN TWO WEEKS LATER HE STARTED
FEELING ILL.
HE DEVELOPED A RASH ON HIS ARMS
AND LEGS AND BREATHING BECAME
DIFFICULT.
HE WENT TO THE E.R. AND WAS
ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE
.
HE CONTINUED TO DECLINE.
DOCTORS COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WAS
WRONG.
WHEN MATT'S DAD CAME TO VISIT.
HE WAS TOLD HIS SON WAS DYING
AND I COULD SEE THE FEAR ON HIS
FACE, YOU KNOW, AND AND HE JUST
HUGGED ME.
I CRIED TO HIM, SAID I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY FOR MESSING
EVERYTHING UP.
MATT SOON PNEUMONIA AND DOCTORS
DECIDED TO PUT HIM INTO A COMA
AND ON A VENTILATOR AS THE
FAMILY CONTINUED TO PRAY, SARA
HELD ON TO A WORD SHE SAYS CAME
FROM GOD.
GOD IS GOING TO RISE HIM UP
AND HE'S GOING TO GO AND SHARE
HIS TESTIMONY AND HE'S GOING TO
GO SHARE THE WORD OF GOD TO.
FINALLY DOCTORS HAD A
DIAGNOSIS.
DERMOT MYOSITIS AN AUTOIMMUNE
DISEASE THAT WHILE NOT CURABLE
IS TREATABLE WITH BLOOD
INFUSIONS AND MEDICATION.
WHEN THEY BROUGHT MATT OUT OF
SEDATION HE CARRIED WITH HIM
MEMORY HE SAYS DROVE HIM INTO
THE ARMS OF GOD CAN EXPERIENCE
THIS BLACKNESS I EXPERIENCED
THIS KNOW LIKE MY OWN PERSON
IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN IT'S HARD
TO PUT INTO WORDS YOU KNOW AND
I FELT EXTREME SEPARATION AND
THIS EXTREME LONELINESS, YOU
KNOW AND AGAIN, I DIDN'T
UNDERSTAND THAT I WAS BEING
SEPARATED FROM GOD AND BEING
SEPARATED FROM THAT.
BUT NOW I LOOK BACK AND I
COULD TELL EXISTENCE OF EXTREME
SEPARATION AND IT WAS SCARY.
AFTER TWO MONTHS IN THE
HOSPITAL, MATT WAS AND MOVED IN
WITH HIS BROTHER'S FAMILY NOW
REBUILDING HIS LIFE.
GOT OFF DRUGS, FOUND
FORGIVENESS HIS FAMILY AND
BEGAN DISCOVERING GOD'S LOVE
HIM.
I SPENT, YOU KNOW, SIX
MONTHS CRYING AND JUST THIS BIG
SOUL HEALING TEARS CRYING AND
EVERYTHING AND BECAUSE I JUST
REALIZED HOW MUCH THE FATHER
LOVED ME I REALIZED EVEN AND
ALL MY ADDICTIONS AND ALL THAT
TIME HE WAS WITH ME THE WHOLE
TIME.
THEN YEARS LATER IN JUNE OF
2022 MATT SAYS GOD ANSWERED
THEIR PRAYERS AGAIN STILL ON
MEDICATION AND RECEIVING
INFUSIONS, HE WENT TO HIS
DOCTOR FOR A RECURRING
APPOINTMENT AND BLOOD WORK.
WOW.
I GO TO THE DOCTOR.
HE GOES ALL YOUR LEVELS ARE
NORMAL.
I SAID WHOA.
HE SAID WOW, THIS NEVER
HAPPENS.
AND I SAID DOCTOR, IS THIS A
MIRACLE?
AND HE THIS NEVER HAPPENS.
AND HE SAID YOU'RE DOING
CONSTRUCTION.
I SAID YEAH, I'M WORKING TWO
THREE DAYS A WEEK AND STUFF AND
HE JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE IT AND
HE TOOK ME OFF MY INFUSIONS.
THEY'RE STARTING TO WEAN ME OFF
THE MEDICATION AND HE WAS RIGHT
I WASN'T LIKE I WAS BEFORE.
I'M ACTUALLY BETTER THAN I WAS
.
TODAY MATT IS STILL IN GOOD
HEALTH.
HE'S ALSO ATTENDING BIBLE
SCHOOL AT BETHEL AND REDDING,
CALIFORNIA.
PREPARING FOR THE MINISTRY JUST
AS SARAH PREDICTED.
YOU KNOW WHEN GOD DOES THESE
THINGS IN YOUR LIFE IN MY LIFE
IT WAS SO AMAZING TO BE USED TO
POUR IN OTHER PEOPLE AND SEE
THEM YOU KNOW, LIKE A JESUS
LIGHT BULB GO OFF AND PEOPLE
THAT SEE THEM I CAN SEE WHEN
THEY GET WHEN THEY WHEN THEY
START TO RECEIVE THE FATHER'S
LOVE AND HE STARTS PULL THAT
OUT OF THEM AND I REALLY HAVE
HOPE.
I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE
GOD CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT
EVERYTHING BUT EVERYTHING YOU
KNOW.
I LIKE TO TELL PEOPLE YOU
CAN NEVER BE TOO DEAD FOR A
RESURRECTION.
SO HERE'S MATT IS HE'S A
DRUG ADDICT AND HE CAN'T
CONTROL IT.
HIS FAMILY'S PRAYING FOR HIM.
HE'S RAISED IN A CHRISTIAN HOME
.
THEY MAKE PROVISION FOR HIM
AND SAY OKAY WELL, IF YOU'RE
GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THIS
LIFESTYLE, HERE'S HERE'S
CONTAINER FOR YOU.
AND HE WILLINGLY CHOOSES
THAT BECAUSE HE CAN'T STOP
USING HIS LAWS CONTROL EVEN
THOUGH THE CONSEQUENCES ARE
SEVERE CAN'T HOLD A JOB HE
CAN'T LIVE IN A HOME HE CAN'T
PROVIDE FOR HIMSELF ALL OF
THESE THINGS HE STILL CONTINUES
TO THE DRUG AND THEN HIS BODY
REACTS AND, STARTS TO WAR
AGAINST HIM AND AN AUTOIMMUNE
DISEASE AND TAKES HIM TO THE
POINT OF DEATH AND THAT HE
REALIZES HE REALIZES WHAT IT
MEANS TO BE SEPARATED FROM GOD
.
HE HAS A MOMENT JUST AS THE
PRODIGAL SON HE CAME TO HIMSELF
AND HE REMEMBERED HE REMEMBERED
WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE WITH
GOD.
HE REMEMBERED THE JOY OF THAT
AND HE SAID I WANT THAT NOW.
NOW YOU HEARD AND HIS TESTIMONY
IS HONEST.
HE TRIED BEFORE HE TRIED.
WHEN WHEN HE SAID I'M GOING TO
GIVE MY HEART TO GOD.
I'M GOING TO DO THESE THINGS
AND HE WAS UNABLE IN HIS OWN
STRENGTH IT TOOK HIM COMPLETELY
SURRENDERING IN THAT MOMENT TO
SAY I DON'T WANT TO APART FROM
GOD, I DON'T WANT TO LIVE THIS
WAY ANYMORE.
AND GOD RAISED HIM UP, GAVE HIM
HOPE, GAVE HIM A FUTURE, GAVE
HIM A NEW LIFE, GAVE HIM A
SOUND MIND WHERE HE WASN'T
PURSUING THE VERY THING THAT
WAS KILLING HIM.
AND THEN HIS BODY OF AN
INCURABLE DISEASE THAT CAN
HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU JUST
FOLLOW SAME PATHWAY THAT MATT
DID.
I'M NOT SAYING YOU HAVE TO GO
TO A HOSPITAL BED AND BE IN A
COMA.
YOU HAVE TO REALIZE WHAT IT
TRULY MEANS TO BE APART FROM
GOD NOW LET ME HELP YOU WITH
THIS REALIZATION.
THERE WAS A GARDEN LONG AGO THE
GARDEN OF EDEN AND THAT'S GOD
INTENDED FOR YOU AND ME.
HE INTENDED US LIVE IN A
GARDEN.
WALK FREE, WORRY FREE.
HE WOULD COME DOWN IN THE COOL
OF THE EVENING AND TALK WITH US
.
HE WANTED US TO GO OUT AND
ENJOY THE GREAT CREATION.
COME WITH NAMES FOR THINGS HE
WANTED US TO HAVE A GREAT LIFE
.
WELL, HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS THAT
WAS GOD'S INTENT.
THAT WAS HIS DREAM FOR YOU AND
ME.
AND HE HASN'T GIVEN UP ON HIS
DREAM.
HE STILL WANTS THAT TO BE REAL
FROM.
YOU.
YOU MAY THINK I'VE GONE TOO FAR
OR THE DIAGNOSE IS THIS IS TOO
GRIM OR THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE.
REALIZE WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE
POSSIBLE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS
TURN TO HIM.
IF YOU WILL.
YOU CAN GET THE SAME MIRACLE
THAT MATT GOT.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO PRAY
BEFORE WE PRAY.
HERE'S SOME OTHER PEOPLE HAD
MIRACLES HAPPEN IN THEIR LIFE.
HERE'S A NET FROM BALDWIN,
MICHIGAN FOR MOST OF HER LIFE
SHE WAS FILLED WITH ANXIETY
EVENTUALLY SHE WAS OFFICIALLY
DIAGNOSED WITH IT AS A
DISABILITY.
WELL, ONE DAY SHE WAS WATCHING
THIS SHOW.
TERRI SAID LORD IS HEALING
SOMEONE OF ANXIETY.
WELL, ANNETTE WHISPERED TO
HERSELF I WISH THAT WAS FOR ME
.
AND THEN TERRI REPEATED THAT
BACK EXACTLY TO AND THEN SAID
THE LORD IS HEALING.
YOU GET UP AND DANCE.
SO ANNETTE GOT UP AND DANCED.
SHE COULD SENSE SHE DELIVERED
FROM DEEP SEATED ANXIETY.
SHE KNEW SHE WAS FREE.
IT'S AMAZING.
WOW.
WELL, THIS CAME TO US.
THIS IS AN ANSWER TO PRAYER.
AFTER VACATIONING IN FLORIDA
THIS YEAR.
CYNTHIA OF CHESTERFIELD,
MICHIGAN STARTED HAVING
SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH HER ARM
AND SHOULDER.
SHE SAW AN ORTHOPEDIC
SPECIALIST WHO SAID CURRENT
PAIN WAS CAUSED BY AN OLD
INJURY.
THIS MADE SENSE SINCE WHEN SHE
WAS 15 SHE WAS IN A SERIOUS CAR
ACCIDENT WHICH RESULTED IN
SPINE AND SHOULDER DAMAGE.
WHILE SHE WAS WATCHING THIS
PROGRAM HEARD YOU GORDON SAY A
WORD OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT QUOTE A
SHOULDER AN ACCIDENT A LONG
TIME AGO BY FAITH'S BELIEVED
GOD FOR HER HEALING.
SHE FELT SOMETHING LIKE A MIST
RISING IN HER SHOULDER NO
LONGER HURTS OR PAIN IS GONE.

BELIEVING YOUR UNFAILING LOVE.
HOW MUCH YOU LOVE US, HOW MUCH
YOU DIED FOR US THAT WHILE WE
WERE YET SINNERS YOU GAVE YOUR
LIFE FOR US.

FOR US AND WE RECEIVE IT NOW.

WERE A CHILD WITH A STUTTER.

CONDITION FOR YOU.
