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

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

MICHIGAN STARTED HAVING

SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH HER ARM

SPECIALIST WHO SAID CURRENT

WORD OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT QUOTE A

SHOULDER AN ACCIDENT A LONG
