I WAS WEEPING SO HARD TODAY ON

THE 700 O'CLOCK WELCOME TO THE

700 CLUB ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU AND

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SEE EYE

TO EYE ON IRAN.

THAT'S THE WORD FROM NETANYAHU

AFTER THE TWO LEADERS SPOKE

SEVERAL TIMES FOLLOWING TRUMP'S

ELECTION VICTORY.

MEANWHILE, THE UNITED STATES

REVEALED THAT IRAN PURSUED AN

ASSASSINATION PLOT AGAINST

TRUMP.

CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS FROM

JERUSALEM.

NETANYAHU SAYS HE AND

PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE ON THE SAME

PAGE ABOUT THE THREAT IRAN

POSES TO THE WORLD AND I TO

HOPE THESE WERE VERY GOOD AND

IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS.

TALKS DESIGNED TO FURTHER

TIGHTEN THE STRONG ALLIANCE

BETWEEN ISRAEL IN THE U.S..

WE SEE EYE TO EYE ON THE

IRANIAN THREAT AND ITS

COMPONENTS AND THE DANGER POSED

BY IT.

IN THE MEANTIME IRAN'S

SUPREME LEADER AND FOREIGN

MINISTRY ARE HINTING THEY MAY

BE TRYING TO RACE TOWARD

NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

MOZILLA'S MYANMAR.

OFFICIAL STANCE IN REJECTING

WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND

THE PEACEFUL NATURE OF OUR

NUCLEAR PROGRAM IS ABSOLUTELY

CLEAR.

MEANWHILE, AS EMPHASIZED IN

THE SUPREME LEADER'S RECENT

SPEECH, WE WILL GET EQUIPPED

WITH WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO

DEFEND.

THE FOREIGN MINISTRY

SPOKESMAN ALSO DENIED IRANIAN

TO ASSASSINATE PRESIDENT TRUMP.

THE U.S. SAYS IT DISCOVERED

JUST SUCH A PLOT DESPITE THE

ADVANCES THE IS MAKING IN

SOUTHERN LEBANON.

AYATOLLAH KHAMENEI INSIST

IRAN'S PROXY HEZBOLLAH WILL

PREVAIL.

THE IDF CONTINUES TO DESTROY

HEZBOLLAH INFRASTRUCTURE

THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN LEBANON.

THEY DISCOVERED A LARGE COMPLEX

BURIED THE CEMETERY AND ARE

FILLING IT UP WITH CONCRETE.

MEANWHILE, ISRAEL RETURNED

NEARLY 2000 OF ITS CITIZENS

FROM AMSTERDAM ON EMERGENCY

FLIGHTS AFTER THURSDAY NIGHT'S

ORGANIZED BRUTAL ASSAULT ON

JEWS BY RADICAL MUSLIMS.

WELL, ON THE WAY HOME WE ALL

SAW HAPPENED SHAMEFUL.

THIS IS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN

NOW UNFORTUNATELY OUR FANS WERE

VERY INTIMIDATED WHEN THEY WENT

THROUGH THE WOODS THERE.

UNFORTUNATELY THEY CAME TO SEE

SOCCER AND THAT'S WHAT

HAPPENED.

DUTCH LEADERS CONDEMNED THE

ATTACKS AND ISRAEL'S NEW

FOREIGN MINISTER SA FLEW TO

AMSTERDAM AND WARNED EUROPEAN

LEADERS THESE ATTACKS CANNOT BE

.

RADICAL ISLAM IS DANGEROUS

NOT ONLY IN THE MIDDLE EAST NOT

ONLY TO ISRAEL IT IS DANGEROUS

TO WESTERN SOCIETY.

IF YOU COMPROMISE WITH THIS MOB

THAT MADE YESTERDAY THESE

BARBARIC ATTACKS IN THE STREETS

AMSTERDAM FINALLY YOU CANNOT

RECOGNIZE THIS SOCIETY AND THE

COUNTRY YOU ARE LIVING.

AND THIS IS THE REAL DANGER.

TODAY NETANYAHU DREW A

CONNECTION BETWEEN THE RECENT

RULING OF THE INTERNATIONAL

COURT OF JUSTICE AND THE

ATTACKS MR. MAGOO.

IN BOTH CASES A DANGEROUS

ANTI-SEMITISM THAT AIMS TO MAKE

THE JEWS AND THEIR COUNTRY

HELPLESS.

NETANYAHU ALSO APPOINTED

U.S. BORN YAKI LEITER AS

ISRAEL'S NEW AMBASSADOR TO THE

UNITED STATES.

DR. LEITER, HIS SON WAS ONE OF

THE FIRST IDF SOLDIERS TO FALL

IN COMBAT IN GAZA LAST NOVEMBER

AND SOON AFTER HE APPEARED ON

THE 700 CLUB.

CHRIS MITCHELL CBS

NEWS JERUSALEM.

WELL, THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE

DEVELOPMENT HERE.

LOOK, IRAN SAYING WE'RE GOING

TO DEVELOP NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN

ORDER TO DEFEND OURSELVES WHICH

IS IS LUDICROUS ON THE FACE OF

IT.

WHO HAS FUNDED ALL OF THE

TERRORISM?

WELL HAVE.

WHO HAS REACHED OUT AND AND

USED PROXIES TO DECLARE WAR ON

OTHER COUNTRIES WHETHER IT'S

WAR AGAINST SAUDI ARABIA

THROUGH THE HOUTHIS IN YEMEN

WAR AGAINST ISRAEL THROUGH

HEZBOLLAH IN SOUTHERN LEBANON

HAMAS AND GAZA THE FUNDER

THEY'RE THE BRAINPOWER BEHIND

IT.

THEY'RE THE WEAPONS.

THEY DO IT ALL.

AND FOR THEM TO NOW CLAIM WELL

,WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO DEFEND

OURSELVES OR STOP ATTACKING

OTHERS STOP PLOTTING TO KILL A

POLITICIAN ENDS HERE IN THE

UNITED STATES AND STOP

THREATENING TO UNLEASH TERROR

ATTACKS.

STOP ALL OF THAT AND YOU WILL

BE ABSOLUTELY WITHIN YOUR OWN

BORDERS.

BUT AS LONG AS THEY CONTINUE IT

THEN I DON'T SEE THAT WE HAVE

ANY CHOICE.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE

THIS KIND OF VIOLENCE AND

FUNDING IT AND SOMEHOW

PRETENDING WELL, I'M THE PUPPET

MASTER.

I'M NOT REALLY YOU NEED TO GO

AFTER THE PUPPET, NOT AFTER ME.

IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE

AND IT AND FOR ANYONE ON THE

WORLD STAGE TO BUY THAT LIE IS

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE AND WE

MUST MAKE SURE THEY NEVER A

NUCLEAR WEAPON BECAUSE WE KNOW

EXACTLY WHAT THEY'LL DO WITH

IT.

THEY'RE GOING TO USE IT ON A

BALLISTIC MISSILE AND THEY'RE

GOING TO TEL AVIV.

THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO TARGET

EUROPE IF THEY CAN AND IF THEY

CAN POSSIBLY REACH THE UNITED

STATES.

TARGET US AS WELL.

WELL, IN OTHER NEWS WITH THE

WAVE OF RISING ANTI-SEMITISM

JEWS IN BELGIUM AND ACROSS

EUROPE ARE WONDERING IF IT'S

TIME TO LEAVE.

JOHN JESSUP MORE ON THAT STORY

FROM OUR CBN NEWS BUREAU IN

WASHINGTON.

JOHN THANKS GORDON SINCE THE

OCTOBER 7TH ATTACK ON ISRAEL,

WESTERN EUROPE HAS WITNESSED A

RISE IN VIOLENCE CAUSING JEWS

TO ASK IF THEY STILL HAVE A

FUTURE THERE.

AND STILL HEARD HAS A STORY

OUTSIDE THE BRUSSELS STOCK

EXCHANGE ON THE ONE YEAR

ANNIVERSARY OF THE OCTOBER

MASSACRE.

PRO-HAMAS DEMONSTRATORS JOINED

IN A PUBLIC PRAYER FOR ALLAH TO

BURN THE JEWS THAT PRO-HAMAS

ANTI-ISRAEL DEMONSTRATIONS HAVE

BEEN HELD DAILY IN BRUSSELS

SINCE THE MASSACRE.

SOME EVEN THE LEADERS OF

BELGIUM'S MAJOR LEFT WING

PARTIES EVEN THOUGH THE

EUROPEAN UNION HAS DESIGNATED

HAMAS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.

HAMAS AFFILIATED GROUPS ARE

OPERATING IN SEVERAL.

JOEL RUBIN FELD, PRESIDENT OF

THE BELGIAN LEAGUE AGAINST

ANTI-SEMITISM, SAYS BRUSSELS

TODAY FEELS LIKE GAZA AND JEWS

IN BELGIUM AND ACROSS WESTERN

EUROPE ARE ASKING IF IT'S TIME

TO LEAVE.

IT'S JUST CRAZY.

IT'S SO.

TSUNAMI.

IT'S A TSUNAMI OF ANTI-SEMITISM

WHICH IS SPREADING ALL OVER THE

WESTERN WORLD AND IT'S A

FAILURE OF THE DEMOCRACY TO

FAIL FROM BELGIUM.

BOTH FRANCE AND GERMANY THE

NUMBER OF ANTI-SEMITIC CRIMES

HAS DOUBLED THIS YEAR COMPARED

TO LAST YEAR.

IN BRITAIN THE NUMBER OF

ANTI-SEMITIC HAS MORE THAN

DOUBLED.

AND IN THIS NATION THAT HAS

BEEN A SAFE HAVEN FOR JEWS.

SOME HAVE RAISED THE SPECTER

OF 1913 GERMANY COMPARISONS TO

NAZI GERMANY ARE OVERUSED BUT

THERE ARE SOME DISTURBING

PARALLELS IN TODAY'S BRITAIN

FOR JEWS BECAUSE OF THREAT SOME

JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS NOW HAVE

SECRET ADDRESSES.

VIRTUALLY ALL NEED SECURITY.

GIDEON FALTER HEADS BRITAIN'S

CAMPAIGN AGAINST ANTI-SEMITISM.

WE ARE SEEING THE

RADICALIZATION OF SOCIETY.

WE ARE SEEING YOUNG PEOPLE WHO

BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE DOING A

RIGHTEOUS THING BY

DISCRIMINATING.

WE SEE

WE'RE HEARING FROM HOLOCAUST

SURVIVORS WHO SAY YOU'VE GOT TO

BE REALLY CAREFUL ABOUT THIS

STUFF.

THIS IS THIS IS THIS IS, YOU

KNOW, THE THIN END OF THE

WEDGE.

BRITISH JOURNALIST DAVID

COLLIER, A JEW, IS VERY

PESSIMISTIC BECAUSE OF HOW THE

INFLUX OF MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS HAS

CHANGED PERCEPTIONS OF ISRAEL

AND JEWS IN BRITAIN.

IT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

IT'S A DIFFERENT COUNTRY WITH A

DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHIC, A

DIFFERENT OUTLOOK.

EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS

DIFFERENT.

IN BELGIUM, REUBEN FELD SAYS IT

FEELS AS IF JEWS LIVE IN A KIND

OF PARALLEL WORLD WHERE ISRAEL,

JEWS AND DEMOCRACY ARE EVIL AND

HAMAS IS GOOD.

IT'S WHAT I CALL THE

ANTI-SEMITE METAVERSE WHERE

BLACK IS WHY WE'RE WRONG IS

RIGHT.

AN INVERSION OF VALUES AN

INVERSION OF TRUTH AND COLLIER

IS AFRAID THAT EUROPE MAY NEVER

AGAIN BE A SAFE PLACE FOR JEWS.

I PERSONALLY I SEE EUROPE

HAS LOST AND I JUST DON'T I

DON'T SEE A WAY BACK.

DALE HURD, CBN NEWS, LONDON

.

THANKS DALE.

HERE AT HOME THE FINAL TALLY

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IS IN

NEVADA AND ARIZONA WHERE CALLED

TRUMP OVER THE WEEKEND GIVING

HIM ALL SEVEN BATTLEGROUND

STATES.

THE TOTAL OF 312 ELECTORAL

VOTES IS MORE THAN HIS 2016

WIN.

DEMOCRATS ARE FIGHTING OVER

WHO'S BLAME FOR THEIR DECISIVE

DEFEAT.

FORMER SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE

NANCY PELOSI THE NEW YORK TIMES

THAT IF PRESIDENT BIDEN HAD

STEPPED OUT OF THE RACE SOONER

MORE CANDIDATES MIGHT HAVE

JUMPED IN TO CREATE AN OPEN

PRIMARY.

OTHERS LIKE CALIFORNIA

REPRESENTATIVE RO KHANNA SAY

THE HARRIS TEAM FAILED TO

ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF

EVERYDAY AMERICANS.

ANYONE WHO IS SAYING NOW

THIS WAS NOT A WINNABLE

CAMPAIGN DIDN'T SAY THAT BACK

IN AUGUST.

THE REASON WE DIDN'T WIN

ULTIMATELY IS WE DIDN'T LISTEN

ENOUGH TO PEOPLE ON THE GROUND

PEOPLE LIKE CRYSTAL LUCIO PAT

RIGHT.

WHO WERE SAYING TALK ABOUT THE

ECONOMY, TALK ABOUT PEOPLE'S

ECONOMIC STRUGGLES.

HELP CONVINCE PEOPLE YOU HAVE

THE BETTER POLICIES, A BETTER

VISION.

MEANWHILE, PRESIDENT ELECT

TRUMP IS WORKING HIS TRANSITION

ANNOUNCING SUNDAY THAT HE THAT

TOM HOMAN WILL SERVE AS BORDER

CZAR AND OVERSEE THE PLAN TO

DEPORT IMMIGRANTS WHO ENTER THE

UNITED STATES ILLEGALLY.

HOMAN SERVED AS ACTING DIRECTOR

OF IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS

ENFORCEMENT TRUMP'S FIRST TERM.

IN ADDITION, NEW YORK

REPRESENTATIVE ELISE HAS BEEN

TAPPED TO SERVE AS AMBASSADOR

TO THE UNITED NATIONS.

TRUMP ALSO ANNOUNCED TWO PEOPLE

WHO WON'T BE SERVING IN HIS

ADMINISTRATION.

POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT

NIKKI HALEY AND MIKE POMPEO

WON'T ASKED TO JOIN HIS TEAM

BOTH SERVED IN HIS FIRST

ADMINISTRATION.

HALEY AS AMBASSADOR TO THE U.N.

AND POMPEO AS SECRETARY OF

STATE.

HALEY STRONGLY CRITICIZED HER

FORMER BOSS WHEN SHE RAN

AGAINST HIM IN THE REPUBLICAN

PRIMARIES.

WILL PRESIDENT TRUMP'S CABINET

WILL BE THE FIRST PRIORITY OF

THE NEW REPUBLICAN SENATE.

THE GOP TOOK CONTROL FROM THE

DEMOCRATS WITH A CURRENT 53

SEATS.

THIS WEEK THEY'RE MOVING TO

DECIDE LEADERSHIP.

AFTER 17 YEARS, GOP SENATE

LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL IS

STEPPING AS HEAD OF THE SENATE

REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE.

A VOTE ON HIS REPLACEMENT IS

SCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY.

SENATORS JOHN CORNYN OF TEXAS,

JOHN THUNE OF SOUTH DAKOTA AND

RICK SCOTT OF FLORIDA ARE VYING

FOR THE POSITION.

WYOMING SENATOR JOHN BARRASSO

IS EXPECTED TO TAKE THE NUMBER

TWO SLOT AS MAJORITY WHIP.

ON NBC'S MEET THE PRESS SUNDAY

,BARRASSO SAID THE SENATE WILL

MOVE SWIFTLY TO APPROVE TRUMP'S

NOMINEES.

HE MET HUGE RESISTANCE IN

2016 AND WHEN HE WAS

INAUGURATED IN 2017 WITH

GETTING HIS CABINET IN PLACE.

WHAT I'M HOPING IS THAT AS A

RESULT OF THIS HUGE LANDSLIDE

VICTORY THAT WE GET A LITTLE

MORE COOPERATION FROM THE

DEMOCRATS IN HELPING PRESIDENT

TRUMP GET THAT CABINET IN PLACE

FOR DAY ONE.

TRUMP HAS DEMANDED THAT ALL

CANDIDATES FOR SENATE MUST

AGREE TO RECESS APPOINTMENTS.

THE TEMPORARY MEASURE ALLOWS

THE PRESIDENT TO DIRECTLY

APPOINT NOMINEES WHEN CONGRESS

IS NOT IN SESSION.

WELL, ALSO ON WEDNESDAY THE

SITTING AND INCOMING PRESIDENTS

WILL IN THE OVAL OFFICE.

MR. BIDEN EXTENDED THE

INVITATION AND IS EXPECTED TO

LOBBY MR. TRUMP TO STAND BY

UKRAINE IN ITS DEFENSE AGAINST

RUSSIA SINCE THE FEBRUARY 2020

INVASION.

CONGRESS HAS PASSED FIVE

SPENDING BILLS TOTALING $175

BILLION IN MILITARY AND OTHER

AID TO UKRAINE.

TRUMP HAS SAID HE'LL END THE

WAR IMMEDIATELY.

SOME BELIEVE MEANS ALLOWING

RUSSIA TO KEEP TERRITORY IT'S

TAKEN FROM UKRAINE.

IN A RECENT CONVERSATION WITH

RUSSIA'S VLADIMIR PUTIN.

TRUMP TOLD HIM QUOTE NOT TO

ESCALATE THE WAR AND THAT HE

WANTS TO DISCUSS ITS

RESOLUTION.

THIS AMID REPORTS THAT 50,000

RUSSIAN AND NORTH KOREAN TROOPS

ARE PREPARING FOR A INVASION TO

RETAKE RUSSIAN TERRITORY HELD

BY UKRAINE.

GORDON WELL, I HOPE THIS WAR

ENDS QUICKLY AND HOPE FOR THE

SAKE OF ALL THE CITIZENS OF

UKRAINE, THE CITIZENS OF RUSSIA

THAT THIS WAR HAS GONE ON FAR

LONG.

AND IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL TO

SEE IT IN BUT IF IT ENDS WITH

SOME KIND OF CONCESSION TO

RUSSIA.

I THINK IT'S A MISTAKE OF

MONUMENTAL PROPORTIONS BECAUSE

JUST EMBOLDENING PUTIN.

HE HAS DREAMS OF RESTORING THE

SOVIET UNION AND THAT MEANS ALL

OF UKRAINE THAT MEANS ALL OF

THE STANS ALONG THE SILK ROAD.

HE WANTS TO DO THAT.

HE'S HE'S SAID IT REPEATEDLY

AND WE OUGHT TO BELIEVE HIM.

AND THIS WAR HE THOUGHT HE

COULD WIN IT REALLY QUICKLY AND

I THINK EVEN OUR OWN SERVICE

AND OUR OWN INTELLIGENCE

SERVICES THOUGHT HE COULD DO

UKRAINE PROVED TO BE DECIDEDLY

SUPERIOR ON THE BATTLEFIELD AND

HE'S HAD TO HAVE NORTH KOREAN

TROOPS COME IN TO HELP HIM OUT

.

BUT THIS THIS NEEDS TO BE

RESOLVED AND RESOLVED QUICKLY

ESPECIALLY FOR THE SAKE OF

EVERY SINGLE UKRAINIAN.

STAY CONNECTED WITH CBN

NEWS ALL DAY ACROSS OUR

PLATFORMS.

MANY AMERICANS FROM PAYCHECK

TO PAYCHECK.

IN ARKANSAS GOVERNOR HUCKABEE

SANDERS IS TURNING TO THE FAITH

COMMUNITY FOR HELP AT THE FIRST

EVER ARKANSAS FAITH SUMMIT.

GOVERNMENT FAITH LEADERS

EXPLORED SOLUTIONS TO A NUMBER

OF ISSUES INCLUDING FOSTER CARE

AND EDUCATION.

CBN'S POVERTY REPORTS BACK FROM

LITTLE ROCK HUNGER CONTINUES TO

BE A NATIONAL CONCERN WITH

ONE ARKANSAS FOOD BANK

PROVIDING MORE THAN 11 MILLION

MEALS EACH YEAR.

FOOD INSECURITY ACROSS THE

40 MILLION PEOPLE MORE OR LESS

IS THE LAST NUMBER THAT I HEARD

.

AND SO THE PROBLEM IS WAY TOO

LARGE FOR ONE ORGANIZATION TO

TRY AND SOLVE.

THAT'S WHY THE NORTHWEST

ARKANSAS FOOD BANK PARTNERS

WITH MORE THAN 100 AGENCIES TO

PROVIDE NUTRITIOUS FOOD TO

CHILDREN, THE WORKING POOR AND

SENIOR CITIZENS IN THEIR REGION

.

THINGS LIKE FOOD INSECURITY

ARE A BIG REASON WHY KIDS EVEN

ENTER FOSTER CARE IN THE FIRST

PLACE.

HELPING THE NEEDY IS THE

REASON MORE THAN 200 AREA FAITH

LEADERS MET HERE IN LITTLE ROCK

FOR THE FIRST ARKANSAS FAITH

SUMMIT.

THERE ARE ALL THESE SILOS

OPERATE WITHIN THE STATE

WHETHER IT'S WITHIN GOVERNMENT

OR THE FAITH COMMUNITY, THE

PRIVATE SECTOR, THE PUBLIC

SECTOR.

AND SO BRINGING ALL OF THEM

TOGETHER TO WORK IN A

COLLABORATIVE SPIRIT TO FACE

AND TACKLE SOME OF THE BIG

ISSUES HAPPENING HERE IN THE

STATE SO THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT

AND FOCUS ON SOME OF THESE BIG

ISSUES.

FLANKED BY HER FATHER,

FORMER ARKANSAS GOVERNOR MIKE,

THEY SPOKE CANDIDLY ABOUT THEIR

BELIEF THAT FAITH IS THE FORCE

BEHIND TACKLING ISSUES SUCH AS

FOOD INSECURITY ALONG WITH

FOSTER CARE, SOCIAL MEDIA

CONCERNS AND EDUCATION.

THESE FAITH GROUPS ARE THE

DRIVING FORCE BEHIND ALL SORTS

OF CHARITY.

I HOPE THIS IS SOMETHING WE DO

EVERY YEAR IN ARKANSAS.

STEPHANIE NICHOLS SHARED HOW

SCHOOL CHOICE

EDUCATION AND HOW THE STATE'S

LEARNS ACT PROVIDES FOR PARENTS

OF ELIGIBLE STUDENTS WHO CHOOSE

PRIVATE SCHOOLS HOMESCHOOLING.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I

ENCOURAGED ATTENDEES TO DO FOR

EXAMPLE, MY KIDS GO TO A

HOMESCHOOL CO-OP THAT MEETS IN

A CHURCH IF CHURCHES WILL OPEN

THEIR FACILITIES FOR

EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES THEN WE

HAVE MORE KIDS WHO COULD BE

EDUCATED IN BIBLICAL

WORLDVIEWS.

IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO

SPREAD THE WORD THAT HELP IS

AVAILABLE.

SO GOVERNOR SANDERS RECENTLY

LAUNCHED THE ARKANSAS FAITH

BASED INITIATIVE WEBSITE.

IT ALLOWS ANY PERSON OR

ORGANIZATION TO GO ONLINE AND

CONNECT WITH OTHERS ENGAGING

THEIR COMMUNITIES IN A VARIETY

OF AREAS.

A LOT OF THESE ENTITIES ARE

ALREADY DOING SOME OF THIS WORK

BUT BRINGING THEM TOGETHER

WORKING TOGETHER I THINK WILL

ALLOW US TO HAVE A MUCH IMPACT

AND REALLY MOVE OUR STATE TO

THE TOP AND BE A GREAT

BLUEPRINT FOR OTHER STATES

AROUND THE COUNTRY TO FOLLOW.

WHILE FLORIDA TENNESSEE ARE

ALSO PROMOTING FAITH BASED

INITIATIVES, GOVERNOR SANDERS A

STATEWIDE NETWORKING EVENT LIKE

THE ARKANSAS FAITH SUMMIT IS

THE FIRST OF ITS KIND.

I CERTAINLY WOULD ENCOURAGE

OTHER GOVERNORS TO TAKE ON AND

REALLY LOOK AT SEE IF IT'S

SOMETHING THAT COULD WORK IN

THEIR HOME STATES AS WELL.

THE GOVERNOR TOLD ATTENDEES

AT THE ARKANSAS FAITH SUMMIT

THAT SHE'S NOT TRYING TO TURN

THE CAPITOL INTO A STEEPLE BUT

SHE DID ENCOURAGE THEM TO LIVE

OUT THEIR FAITH.

A BIG PART OF THAT IS WORKING

TOGETHER TO HELP OTHERS.

I THINK WHEN YOUR FAITH IS

AUTHENTIC YOU DON'T TAKE IT OFF

WHEN YOU STEP INTO WHATEVER JOB

IT MAY BE.

A PORTION OF THE SUMMIT TOOK

A CLOSER AT THE FACTS REGARDING

A SEPARATION BETWEEN CHURCH AND

STATE AND HOW CHRISTIANS CAN BE

BOLDER IN THEIR FAITH WITHOUT

FEAR OF CROSSING A LINE.

I HOPE THAT WE SEE A LOT

MORE CREATIVE BEAUTY IN THE

BODY OF CHRIST AND INNOVATION

AS WE GO FORWARD BECAUSE I

BELIEVE THAT WE ALL HAVE

SOMETHING TO BRING TO THE TABLE

IN THAT APPROACH.

ANY TIME YOU HAVE THIS MANY

PASTORS AND FAITH LEADERS IN

ONE ROOM NATURALLY EVERYBODY'S

COMING WITH THEIR OWN THOUGHTS,

THEIR OPINIONS, THEIR

PERSPECTIVES BUT I'M REALLY

APPRECIATIVE AND CAN GATHER

UNDER ONE BANNER WITH

ONE PURPOSE TO SAY WE BELIEVE

THE INTERSECTION OF FAITH AND

GOVERNMENT MATTERS AND IS

IMPORTANT AND WE BELIEVE THAT

THERE'S A GREATER PURPOSE AND A

GREATER CALL FOR OUR STATE AND

WE BELIEVE THAT THE CHURCH

SHOULD BE A PART AND SHOULD BE

ON THE FOREFRONT OF THAT.

BUT RESULTS FROM THIS EVENT AND

ITS OUTREACH REMAINS TO BE

SEEN.

ALTHOUGH KENT CAN'T, IKENBERRY

SAYS IF THE GOSPEL ACCOUNTS OF

JESUS FEEDING THE 5000 IS ANY

INDICATION, NEEDY HERE HAVE

MUCH TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

I JOKE A LOT OF TIMES THAT

JESUS HIMSELF RAN A VERY FOOD

BANK.

YOU KNOW HE TOOK FIVE LOAVES OF

BREAD AND THE COUPLE HAD A

VISION AND THE MULTITUDES.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE BEING

ASKED TO DO EVERY DAY IN LITTLE

ROCK.

PAUL PETITE CBN NEWS HE FED

THE 5000 AFTER HE PREACHED THE

GOSPEL TO THEM AND THEN THROUGH

THE DEMONSTRATION OF THAT TO TO

MULTIPLY.

HE WAS ABLE TO PREACH.

IT'S ONE THING IT'S SORT OF A

CURIOUS THING IN CULTURE TODAY.

IF YOU FEED THE HUNGRY EVERYONE

APPLAUD.

SO IF YOU'RE THE GOVERNMENT AND

YOU SAY WE WANT TO PROVIDE FOOD

PROGRAMS AND WE WANT TO FEED

THE HUNGRY IF YOU'RE A

NONPROFIT, IF YOU'RE A FAITH

BASED NONPROFIT AND YOU WANT TO

FEED THE HUNGRY, EVERYBODY IS

GOING TO APPLAUD THAT.

BUT YOU STEP BACK AND ASK THE

QUESTION WELL, WHY ARE THEY

HUNGRY OR WHY ARE THEY

CHRONICALLY UNEMPLOYED OR

WHAT'S GOING ON SORT OF BEHIND

THE SCENES THAT THIS IS A

SYMPTOM OF AND HOW CAN WE

ADDRESS THAT AND HOW CAN WE

LIFT THEM AND AND DO WHAT THE

GOSPEL SAYS HE TAKES PEOPLE

FROM THE ASH HEAP AND HE SETS

THEM WITH PRINCES.

HOW CAN WE CHANGE THEIR LIVES

AND NOT JUST FOR ALL ETERNITY

BUT RIGHT HERE IN THE HERE AND

NOW THAT'S WHERE FAITH REALLY

COMES INTO PLAY.

GOVERNOR MIKE CAN'T PROVIDE

THAT BUT GOVERNMENT CAN PROVIDE

AN EQUAL PLAYING FIELD.

GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO ENSURE ALL

OF THAT.

BUT ONE OF THE CONCEPTS THAT

THE FOUNDING FATHERS HAD WAS

UNITED STATES WITHOUT THE BIBLE

WASN'T GOING TO BE AN EFFECTIVE

DEMOCRACY BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T

HAVE THAT COMPASSION AND THAT

KINDNESS WORKING THROUGHOUT THE

CULTURE.

THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS ALL

THE GENERALS, THE OFFICERS OF

THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY WHEN

THEY FROM THE BATTLE A

REVOLUTION WAS WON AND INSTEAD

OF TRYING TO SEIZE CONTROL AND

LET'S RUN THE COUNTRY WHAT THEY

IS THEY FORMED THE AMERICAN

BIBLE SOCIETY AND.

THEIR INTENT WAS TO MAKE SURE

EVERYONE HAD ACCESS TO A BIBLE

COULD BE ABLE TO READ IT

BECAUSE THEY WERE CONVINCED

THAT FAITH WAS THE BEDROCK OF

OUR DEMOCRACY.

LET'S GET RE CONVINCED THAT.

I THINK IT'S REALLY

IMPORTANT GOING FORWARD THAT IF

WE RECOGNIZE THAT WE NEED TO BE

ONE NATION UNDER GOD,

INDIVISIBLE, THAT UNDER GOD IS

MISSING RIGHT NOW AND CAN WE

RESTORE IT AND RESTORE IT

CALL 888 FIVE 1717 THAT'S

885 1717.

CALL NOW.

LIKE SO MANY VETERANS, ERIC

WAS EAGER SERVE HIS COUNTRY AS

A MEMBER OF AN ELITE FIGHTING

FORCE.

HE WAS ON THE FRONT LINES OF

COMBAT IN IRAQ AND WHEN HE LEFT

THE BATTLEFIELD BEHIND HE

BROUGHT THE TRAUMA OF WAR HOME

WITH THEM.

I WAS ALWAYS.

MY HEAD WAS ALWAYS ON A SWIVEL.

SOMEONE COULD SLAM A DOOR.

I WOULD JUMP.

I WAS JUST ON EDGE.

AT 28 YEARS OLD MARINE VETERAN

ERIC'S WITH IT AND HAD HIS

WHOLE LIFE AHEAD OF HIM.

HE WAS A NEWLYWED AT A STEADY

JOB AND FELT HE HAD THE

MEMORIES OF COMBAT THAT HAUNTED

HIM UNDER UNTIL ONE NIGHT IN

2010 WHEN A NOISE WOKE HIM UP.

I LOOK OVER AND I A LUMP I'M

CERTAIN THAT IT'S MY WIFE

SLEEPING NEXT TO ME AND.

I REACH FOR MY GUN AND THEN SHE

WALKS OUT OF THE BATHROOM AND

HERE I AM POINTING A LOADED GUN

AT MY WIFE.

ERIC WAS NEVER ONE TO TALK

ABOUT HIS PROBLEMS.

HE'D GROWN UP ON THE STREETS,

DRUGS AND ALCOHOL UNTIL HE

ENLISTED IN THE MARINES AND HIS

LIFE TO CHRIST AT 17.

JUST KIND OF REACHING SOME KIND

OF LIFELINE.

THEN I MET GOD AND I WAS

RADICALLY TRANSFORMED.

I OVER ROMANTICIZED EVERYTHING.

SO THINKING OF BECOMING UNITED

STATES MARINE MY MIND DRIFTED

TO THIS IDEA OF SERVING MY

COUNTRY PROTECTING WHAT'S GOOD

AND PROTECTING WHAT'S RIGHT.

BEING A A HERO.

RUNNING OUT ONTO A BATTLEFIELD.

ALL THE THINGS THAT HOLLYWOOD.

THAT WAS ME.

AFTER BASIC TRAINING WAS

SELECTED FOR A HIGHLY

SPECIALIZED WEAPONS TEAM CALLED

FOX RECON.

THEN ON SEPTEMBER 11TH, THE

UNTHINKABLE.

ERIC WAS DEPLOYED TO IRAQ TO

FIGHT THE WAR ON TERROR.

WE'RE THE TIP OF THE SPEAR.

SO I REMEMBER IN THAT MOMENT

KNOWING WE'RE GOING TO WAR.

AND I'M THINKING DID I MAKE A

MISTAKE SIGNING FOR THIS

FORWARD OPERATING UNIT WHO IS

CERTAINLY GOING TO BE ON THE

VERY FRONT LINES OR AHEAD OF

THE FRONT LINES?

IN THE FIRST TWO MONTHS

ERIC'S UNIT TOOK 17 CITIES.

THE PHYSICAL DEMANDS WERE

BRUTAL.

HYPER VIGILANT.

DAYS WITHOUT SLEEP

COMBAT.

YOU'RE CONSTANTLY STRESSED OUT

TO KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE AND

OTHERS AROUND YOU ALIVE.

I'D PREPARED TO SEE DEAD PEOPLE

TO TAKE LIVES TO BE SHOT AT

WHAT I WASN'T ANTICIPATE THOUGH

WAS THE IMAGES THAT WILL NEVER

LEAVE MY MIND.

IN PARTICULAR SEEING A FIVE

YEAR OLD BOY WITH MISSING ARMS

AND LEGS WHO HAD JUST WATCHED

HIS MOM AND DAD GET KILLED

SEEING FIVE YOUNG LADIES AND

THEIR MOTHER HOVERING OVER

THEIR DAD WEEPING BECAUSE HE

HAD BEEN KILLED AS A CASUALTY

OF WAR AS COLLATERAL DAMAGE.

THE THING THAT WAS REALLY

TROUBLING ME THE WHOLE TIME WAS

I'VE BEEN SHARING JESUS WITH

PEOPLE.

I'M A CHRISTIAN.

MY IS TO LOVE PEOPLE.

HOW IS THIS LOVING PEOPLE?

I COULDN'T RECONCILE.

IS THIS RIGHT?

ARE WE REALLY THE GOOD GUYS?

ALL THESE TOUGH QUESTIONS I WAS

NOT ASKING GOD.

I WAS JUST PUSHING THEM.

AFTER SEVEN MONTHS ON THE

FRONT LINES, ERIC SENT

STATESIDE WHERE HE FINISHED OUT

HIS CAREER.

HE GOT A A JOB AS A CONSULTANT

MARRIED AND IMMERSED HIMSELF IN

WORK WHILE HIS SERVICE IN IRAQ

WAS BEHIND HIM.

THE TRAUMA REMAINED.

I WAS DRINKING ALMOST EVERY

SINGLE DAY STRUGGLING TO GET

GOOD SLEEP OF YOUR HELICOPTER

AND I'D START FREAKING OUT.

STARTED HAVING NIGHTMARES AND

THINGS WENT DOWNHILL REALLY

QUICKLY.

I BEGAN TO SPIRAL.

I STARTED THINKING ABOUT IT

WOULD LOOK LIKE JUST TO FIND

PEACE BY ENDING MY LIFE.

MAYBE IT'S BEST FOR HER.

YOU START TO JUSTIFY ALL THOSE

SCENARIOS.

ERIC SAYS PRIDE KEPT HIM FROM

SEEKING HELP.

I'M TO BE OKAY.

I WENT TO WAR.

I FOUGHT.

I'M HOME I'M A MAN.

I'M TOUGH.

I'M STRONG.

I'M GOOD.

I'M GOING TO BOOTSTRAP IT AND

I'M GOING TO PUSH MY WAY

THROUGH THIS PAIN.

UNTIL THE NIGHT HE PULLED A GUN

ON HIS WIFE AND REALIZED HE WAS

A DANGER TO HIMSELF AND THOSE

AROUND HIM.

I WENT FROM 0 TO 90 IN 2

SECONDS.

I COULD HAVE VERY EASILY SHOT

MY OWN WIFE.

I HAVE NOT ADMITTED THAT MANY

PEOPLE BECAUSE IT'S JUST SO

EMBARRASSING TO ME THAT I MADE

THAT MISTAKE.

BUT THAT'S WHERE I WAS PUSHING

HIS PRIDE.

ERIC WENT TO THE VA WHERE HE

BEGAN RECEIVING COUNSELING FOR

PTSD.

EVEN THEN THE NIGHTMARES AND

DRINKING CONTINUED.

THEN WHILE WORKING ONE DAY IN

2013 HE HEARD A VOICE TELLING

HIM TO GET ON HIS KNEES AND

WORSHIP IN CASE THIS IS GOD I'M

GOING TO DO THIS.

GOT ON MY KNEES.

I REMEMBER PLAYING A SONG

SURRENDER.

I BEGAN TO SAY THE WORDS OF THE

SONG I SURRENDER TO YOU LORD I

GIVE YOU EVERYTHING AND IN THAT

MOMENT GOD HIMSELF CAME INTO MY

OFFICE.

I KNEW THAT GOD IS HOLY.

I AM NOT AND I CANNOT STAND

BEFORE HIM WITH ALL THIS JUNK.

AND HE LET ME SEE WHAT IT'S

LIKE BE BEFORE A HOLY LIVING

GOD WHEN YOU ARE NOT RIGHT WITH

HIM.

I WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED.

ONE OF THE SCARIEST MOMENTS OF

MY ENTIRE LIFE BY FAR.

I COULDN'T OPEN MY EYES BECAUSE

I WAS WEEPING SO.

BUT I ALSO WAS AFRAID OF WHAT I

WOULD SEE FOR THE FIRST TIME I

FULLY ADMITTED ALL OF THE

THINGS HAD DONE.

I JUST LAID IT ALL DOWN.

GOD, I AM SORRY FOR GOING TO

ALL THESE THINGS RATHER THAN

GOING TO YOU.

I WAS BEGGING HIM FOR MERCY.

I KNEW IN THAT MOMENT I NEEDED

JESUS AND I SO MUCH DEEP REGRET

AND REMORSE.

AND THEN IMMEDIATELY THE

ATMOSPHERE IN THE ROOM SHIFTS

AND IN THAT MOMENT I FELT MORE

THAN I'VE EVER FELT IN MY LIFE.

I FELT SO AMAZING.

I DIDN'T WANT IT TO END.

WHEN I LEFT THAT ROOM I KNEW

SOMETHING WAS DIFFERENT.

NEARLY A DECADE AFTER COMING

HOME, ERIC FELT PEACE.

HE STOPPED DRINKING AND THOUGH

HE STILL OCCASIONAL NIGHT

TERRORS HE SAYS GOD ALWAYS

PULLS THROUGH.

I'LL PROBABLY ALWAYS HAVE A

LEVEL VIGILANCE BUT I'M NO

LONGER A DANGER TO OTHERS AND

MYSELF.

IT DOESN'T CONTROL MY LIFE

ANYMORE.

I FEEL WHOLE AND HEALTHY IN SO

MANY WAYS AND I KNOW THAT IT'S

ONLY GOD THAT DO THAT.

WE FACE AN ENEMY THAT IS NOT

FLESH AND BLOOD HE'S REAL AND

HE WANTS US TO KEEP EVERYTHING

INSIDE TO TRY TO GO IT ALONE.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT KIND

TRAUMA IT IS IF IT'S WAR OR

ABUSE, ANY KIND OF TRAGEDY THAT

WE MIGHT FACE IN THIS LIFE.

BUT WHEN WE START TO OPEN AND

LET IT OUT AND ASK FOR HELP

BEFORE GOD HIMSELF IMMEDIATELY

HEALING STARTS TO TAKE PLACE.

ONLY GOD CAN HEAL THE SOUL WELL

THAT REVERBERATE THROUGH YOU.

ONLY GOD CAN HEAL THE SOUL.

HERE'S ERIC HE'S A CHRISTIAN

AND BECOMES A CHRISTIAN WHEN

HE'S A TEENAGER HAS A DRAMATIC

ENCOUNTER WITH THE LORD.

HE KNOWS HE'S SAVED AND THEN HE

SAYS WHAT CAN I DO WITH MY OR

HOW HOW SHOULD I LIVE NOW?

AND HE MAKES A DECISION TO GO

INTO THE MILITARY AND HE

BECOMES AN ELITE SOLDIER AND

THEN HE GETS INTO A

BATTLEFIELD.

I DON'T LIKE TO CALL IT

POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER

BECAUSE I DON'T VIEW IT AS

DISORDER.

I VIEW IT AS SOMETHING THAT

NATURALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE

EXPOSED TO THINGS THAT YOU YOUR

BRAIN LITERALLY DOESN'T HAVE

ANY SOLUTION FOR WHEN YOU HAVE

HORRIFIC THINGS HAPPEN YOU ARE

GOING TO STRESS AND IN THE

POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS IS GOING

TO LINGER.

NOW WHAT DID ERIC DO WITH

THAT STRESS?

FIRST OF ALL, HE SAID WELL,

I'LL LET I'LL JUST MAN UP.

I'LL I'LL TRY TO GET THROUGH IT

ON MY OWN.

AND WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK, HE

THEN TURNED TO LIQUOR AND

ALCOHOL AND HE TRIED TO

MEDICATED AWAY.

AND IF I CAN GET DRUNK ENOUGH

THAT I'M NOT GOING TO I'M NOT

GOING TO REMEMBER THESE THINGS

OR I'LL BE TO SLEEP OR YOU

KNOW, WHATEVER THAT DOES.

IF YOU TURN TO ALCOHOL FOR

YOUR TROUBLES ALL YOU'RE DOING

IS IRRIGATING ON YOUR LEG AND I

ACTUALLY FLOURISH AND PRODUCE

NEW CROPS OF TROUBLES FOR YOU.

AND THEN HE HEARD A VOICE

AND NOW I WANT TO UNDERLINE

THIS HE HEARD A VOICE JESUS

SAYS MY SHEEP HERE ARE MY

VOICE.

NINE VOICE TOLD ERIC GET ON

YOUR KNEES AND WASH UP AND THEN

THE SONG I SURRENDER ALL AND HE

FINALLY FOUND THE KEY TO

OVERCOMING WHAT HE HAD LIVED

THROUGH TO GET ON HIS KNEES AND

SURRENDER ALL OF IT TO JESUS.

AND IN THAT HE HAD TWO

ENCOUNTERS ONE WITH A HOLY AND

RIGHTEOUS GOD.

AND WHEN YOU STAND BEFORE A

HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS GOD ALL YOUR

SINS ARE LAID BARE.

THERE ARE NO EXCUSES IN THAT.

YOU CAN'T SAY WELL YOU KNOW

THERE ARE NO EXCUSES.

THEN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT HE

KNOWS EVERYTHING.

IT'S HIDDEN FROM HIM.

IT'S NOT.

THERE'S NO SECRETS THERE AND

YOU CAN'T LOVE HIM.

AND NOW WHAT?

BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU'VE MISSED

THE MARK.

YOU KNOW THAT YOU'VE VERY FAR

FROM HIM AND THE REASON YOU'RE

NOT SEEING HIM IN THE DAY TO

DAY IS JUST HOW FAR YOU HAVE

FALLEN.

YOUR SINS HAVE SEPARATED YOU

FROM GOD AND THEN WHEN HE SAID

I GIVE ALL OF THIS, TAKE IT ALL

AWAY, WELL THEN HE HAD ANOTHER

DIVINE ENCOUNTER.

I CALL IT THE BAPTISM AND LOVE

WHERE YOU UNDERSTAND JUST HOW

PRECIOUS YOU ARE HIS SIDE.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE HIS

CHILD AND HE WANTS TO FORGIVE.

HE WANTS TO SAVE.

HE WANTS TO HEAL.

YOU'RE VERY SORE.

HE WANTS TO TAKE AWAY ALL THE

TRAUMA, ALL THE DYSFUNCTION AND

ALL THE FEAR AND REPLACE IT

WITH HIS LOVE.

IF YOU WANT THIS BACK OF YOUR

HEAD WITH ME RIGHT NOW JESUS

PROMISES WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH

ALL OF YOUR HEART THEN YOU'LL

FIND ME.

FOR ERIC IT WAS THAT MOMENT

WHERE HE ON HIS KNEES AND HE

WORSHIP WITH ALL OF HIS HEART.

HE SAW IT JESUS AND HE GOT HIS

ANSWER.

YOU CAN GET YOUR ANSWER TODAY.

LET'S PRAY LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, I

COME TO YOU AND I COME YOU

CONFESSING THAT I'VE MISSED THE

MARK AND SO DIFFERENT WAYS YOU

KNOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME

YOU KNOW THE TRAUMA THAT WAS

INFLICTED ON ME YOU KNOW THE

THINGS THAT I'VE DONE WRONG,

THE THINGS DONE WRONG TO OTHER

PEOPLE.

YOU KNOW THE FEAR THAT IS IN MY

HEART AND IN MY THOUGHTS AND IN

MY NIGHTMARES WAS, YOU KNOW,

ALL OF THIS.

SO JESUS, I GIVE IT ALL TO

YOU.

I DON'T WANT IT ANYMORE.

I GIVE IT ALL TO YOU AND I ASK

THAT YOU WOULD BAPTIZE ME IN

YOUR LOVE THAT YOU GIVE ME THAT

WONDERFUL ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND

LOVE THAT I AM CHILD AND YOU

WANT ME TO BE WITH FOR ALL

ETERNITY.

RUSS STEPSON WALKED INTO THE

KITCHEN WITH A CRAZED LOOK IN

HIS EYES AND A BUTCHER'S KNIFE

IN HIS HAND.

WITHIN SECONDS RUSS WAS STABBED

AND FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE.

HE CAME IN THROUGH THE BACK

SLIDING GLASS DOOR, HAD A

BUTCHER KNIFE IN HIS HAND AND.

HE CAME AT ME AND STARTED

HACKING WITH THE KNIFE.

ON MARCH 8TH, 2021 IN LAS

VEGAS, NEVADA, PASTOR RUSS

SMOTHERS HIS WIFE RENA WERE

COOKING DINNER WHEN RUSS WAS

ATTACKED BY HIS STEPSON.

HE WAS LIVING WITH US FOR A

COUPLE OF YEARS AND HE CAME

ACROSS THE MONEY AND ALL OF A

SUDDEN HAD METH.

WHEN HE FIRST CAME IN AND HE

WAS ADVANCING IT WAS LIKE OH,

LET'S GO, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE AND

THEN YOU LOOK AND YOU SEE THE

KNIFE AND YOU SEE HIS EYES

GLAZED OVER AND IT GOES FROM OH

WHAT DO YOU DOING TO CONFUSION.

BUT THEN IT BECAME FIGHT OR

FLIGHT.

ONCE THE HACKING STARTED,

YOU KNOW, THEN THE FEAR KIND OF

WENT AWAY AND SURVIVAL TOOK

OVER.

THE MAN MERCILESSLY STABBED

AWAY AT RUSS.

MOST OF THE WOUNDS WERE IN THE

CHEST AND THE HEAD IN THE NECK

BECAUSE HE WAS OVER ON TOP OF

ME.

THE BLOOD WOULD START RUNNING

OVER MY EYES.

I COULDN'T SEE VERY WELL.

THAT WAS MY FIRST INDICATION

LIKE OH IS SERIOUS.

THEN I STARTED WITH THE

SLIPPING AND I FELL FRACTURED

MY SKULL IN TWO PLACES ON THAT

ONE THE PART WITH MY THUMB

ALMOST BEING CUT OFF IS BECAUSE

HE HAD THE KNIFE OVER MY EYE

AND IT WAS EITHER TO GRAB THE

KNIFE BY THE BLADE TO PULL IT

AWAY OR SO I CHOSE TO GRAB THE

KNIFE.

I REMEMBER THAT HIS DOG SHE

CAME IN THE KITCHEN AND NUDGED

AWAY FROM ME.

HE DROPPED THE KNIFE AND HE

WENT BACK OUT THE BACK DOOR

WHICH GAVE ME THE CHANCE TO

ESCAPE OUT THE FRONT DOOR

ACROSS THE STREET WHERE

EVERYBODY WAS OUT THERE ALREADY

CALLED 911 AND ALL THAT.

RUSS'S ATTACKER WAS

CAPTURED, ARRESTED AND JAILED.

THOUGH HE HAD STABBED RUSS 21

TIMES.

MINUTES LATER PARAMEDICS

ARRIVED THE SCENE APPLIED A

TOURNIQUET AND TRANSPORTED HIM

TO UNIVERSITY CENTER.

RUSS SAID SOMETHING

INTERESTING HAPPENED TO EARLIER

IN THE DAY.

GOD AUDIBLY TOLD ME NOT I FELT

IN MY HEART OR GOD SAID YOU'RE

GOING THROUGH SOME STUFF RIGHT

NOW BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIE

TONIGHT.

WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE

HOSPITAL HIS NURSE BEGAN

PRAYING.

I LOOK OVER THERE'S THIS MALE

NURSE IN THERE HOLDING MY HAND

AND ELBOW.

HIS ARM AND HIS EYES ARE CLOSED

AND HE'S PRAYING VERY VOCALLY

IN A VERY BUSY TRAUMA ROOM.

AND I WENT WOW, I THOUGHT HE

WAS NOT GOING TO SURVIVE.

I COULD SEE HIS JAW OPEN FROM

HERE LIKE FROM A KNIFE KNIFE

ONCE IN THE NECK.

WELL LIKE MISSED THE MAJOR

ARTERY SO I DON'T KNOW LIKE FOR

SOME REASON LIKE THE GOOD LORD

JUST TOLD ME TO GO THERE AND I

JUST OFFERED A PRAYER.

RUSS HIS CONDITION WAS

CRITICAL.

AMONG HIS INJURIES WERE A

COLLAPSED LUNG, TWO SKULL

FRACTURES, A FRACTURED SPINE,

TWO BROKEN RIBS.

HE BLED OUT ON THE SCENE AND

STILL HAD A PIECE OF THE KNIFE

BLADE IN HIS SKULL.

AFTER TWO DAYS AND THREE

SURGERIES, THE SURGEON SPOKE TO

RUSS.

HE GOES HERE'S MY MY DILEMMA

.

I WENT IN TO DO X-RAYS AND

FOUND OUT YOUR LUNG HAD

REATTACHED ITSELF.

HE SAID NOW YOU HAVE A

FRACTURED.

HE GOES IN WE SEE IT IN X-RAY

SO WE'RE ABOUT READY TO DO SOME

SURGERY ON YOUR BACK.

AND AGAIN SOMETHING TELLS ME TO

RECHECK.

SO WE GO BACK AND RECHECK YOUR

SPINE.

SO IT FRACTURED.

SO WHAT'S WHAT'S WHAT'S THE

PROBLEM?

THAT SOUNDS GREAT.

ME?

HE GOES WELL, THE ISSUE IS WE

DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

NURSE MARK SAYS PASTOR FULL

RECOVERY IS A MIRACLE.

HIS HIS IS A MIRACLE SEEING HIM

SMILING RIGHT NOW AND STILL

DOING THE WORK OF THE LORD IT

JUST INSPIRES ME THAT GOD IS

REAL.

THERE'S THERE'S A GOD WATCHING

PEOPLE WATCHING US.

THERE'S NO DOUBT IT.

HE ALSO CHOSE TO FORGIVE HIS

ATTACKER.

I AS A PASTOR AND AS A FATHER

AND AS A HUSBAND AND MAN OF GOD

WANTS TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE.

WHO AM I TO NOT FORGIVE THIS

PERSON?

RUSS SAYS THE ATTACK GAVE HIM A

NEW AND A NEW PURPOSE.

I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING.

WHAT DO YOU GOT FOR ME TODAY?

GOD.

EVEN IF I'M HAVING A REALLY BAD

DAY I'M LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT?

SOMEBODY ELSE HAS GOT LOT

WORSE THAN ME SO USE ME.

I'M LIVING PROOF YOU'RE LIVING

PROOF THAT GOD IS A MIRACLE

WORKER AND HE'S DOING MIRACLES

EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE.

LOOK AT A GORGEOUS TO WEAR

MAKES YOUR.

IT TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY.

THAT'S A MIRACLE.

I JUST AM SO GRATEFUL FOR EVERY

BREATH THAT ALLOWING ME TO

TAKE.

IT'S NOT IT.

I CAN'T SAY IT ENOUGH OR DEEP

TO WHERE IT DIDN'T SOUND CHEESY

OR CORNY BUT GOD IS JUST AN

AWESOME GOD.

JESUS BROUGHT HEALING AND

WHOLENESS RIGHT INTO THE MESS

OF THAT SITUATION.

YOU KNOW WAS AN ATTACK THAT

COULD HAVE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN

FATAL BUT THERE WAS HEALING

INSTEAD.

THAT'S OUR WORD TO YOU.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING

THROUGH BUT I KNOW JESUS DOES

AND.

HE WANTS TO BRING HEALING RIGHT

INTO THE MIDST OF MESS WHATEVER

IT MIGHT BE.

MAYBE IT'S SPIRITUAL LIKE

RUSSELL'S BUT MAYBE IT'S

SOMETHING ELSE.

THE THINGS WE FIND IS THAT

SOMETIMES WE LIKE TO BRING IT

TO OTHER PEOPLE IF IT'S

SOMETHING WE THINK IS GOING TO

DIMINISH HOW SEE US?
