TODAY ON THE 700 CLYDE OR

WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

ONE WEEK AFTER DONALD

TRUMP'S PRESIDENTIAL

REPUBLICANS ARE IN POSITION TO

CONTROL CAPITOL HILL.

THE GOP HAS ALREADY TAKEN THE

SENATE FROM THE DEMOCRATS AND

IT HAS THE EDGE IN KEEPING

CONTROL OF THE HOUSE.

SEVERAL REPUBLICANS ARE

COMPETING FOR THE TOP SLOT IN

THE SENATE AS LONGTIME MITCH

MCCONNELL IS STEPPING DOWN CBN

CAPITOL HILL CORRESPONDENT

MICHELLE LONDON HAS THE LATEST

.

AS OF NOW REPUBLICANS APPEAR

TO BE ON TRACK TO KEEP THE

HOUSE MAJORITY.

THEY HAVE 214 SEATS OUT OF THE

REQUIRED 218 WITH 18 RACES TO

BE DECIDED.

WE MAY NOT KNOW THE OVERALL

OUTCOME FOUR DAYS AFTER

RETAKING THE SENATE.

MEMBERS WILL VOTE FOR A NEW

PARTY LEADER WEDNESDAY TO

REPLACE MITCH MCCONNELL WHO'S

STEPPING ASIDE AFTER NEARLY TWO

DECADES AT THE HELM.

ONE OF THE MOST GRATIFYING

RESULTS OF THE SENATE BECOMING

REPUBLICAN THE FILIBUSTER WILL

STAND THERE.

THERE WON'T BE ANY NEW STATES

ADMITTED AND WE'LL QUIT BEATING

UP THE SUPREME COURT EVERY TIME

WE DON'T LIKE A DECISION THEY

MAKE.

MCCONNELL THE LONGEST

SERVING PARTY LEADER IN U.S.

HISTORY, FIRST WON THE JOB BACK

IN 2007.

YOU GUYS KNOW HOW LONG I'VE

BEEN AROUND.

I HAD REALLY HOPED I'D BE

ABLE TO HAND OVER TO MY

SUCCESSOR IN A MAJORITY.

THE THREE MAIN CONTENDERS

ARE SOUTH DAKOTA SENATOR JOHN

THUNE, TEXAS SENATOR JOHN

CORNYN AND FLORIDA SENATOR RICK

SCOTT WHOM CHIEF POLITICAL

ANALYST DAVID BRODY SEES AS A

POSSIBLE FRONTRUNNER.

THE ENERGY RIGHT NOW IS WITH

SENATOR RICK SCOTT.

THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE LIKE TUCKER

CARLSON, ELON MUSK OTHERS THAT

ARE IN TRUMP'S ORBIT LOBBYING

FOR SENATOR SCOTT.

SO THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT

INTERESTING.

IT MAKES IT A WILDCARD WHOEVER

WINS.

DONALD TRUMP INSISTS THEY

SUPPORT HIS ABILITY INSTALL

RECESS APPOINTMENTS TO HIS

CABINET.

MEANWHILE WYOMING SENATOR JOHN

BARRASSO IS EXPECTED TO TAKE

THE NUMBER TWO SLOT AS MAJORITY

WHIP.

BARRASSO TELLING NBC'S THE

PRESS SUNDAY THAT THE SENATE

WILL ACT SWIFTLY.

THE MANDATE OF THE TWO

THINGS THAT PEOPLE CARE THE

MOST ABOUT WHICH IS THE HIGH

COST AND THE OPEN BORDER AND

THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE'RE

GOING TO START WORKING ON

IMMEDIATELY.

AS FOR THE HOUSE VOTES IN AT

LEAST 18 UNCALLED RACES ARE

STILL COUNTED AND REPUBLICANS

ARE ON TRACK TO KEEP THEIR

MAJORITY NEXT YEAR.

DEMOCRATS LOST A COMPETITIVE

RACE IN MICHIGAN WHERE

REPUBLICAN TOM BARRETT DEFEATED

CONGRESSMAN CURTIS HERTEL

FLIPPING THE STATE'S SEVENTH

CONGRESSIONAL SEAT.

THE DEMOCRATS LAST FOR FLIPPING

THE CHAMBER REST ON FIVE

REPUBLICAN HELD SEATS

CALIFORNIA TWO IN ARIZONA AND

ONE IN IOWA WHERE GOP INCUMBENT

REP MARIONETTE MILLER-MEEKS IS

LIKELY HEADED FOR A RECOUNT.

REPUBLICANS CURRENTLY LEAD IN

ALL THOSE SEATS AS DEMOCRATS

ALSO FIGHT TO PROTECT REMAINING

VULNERABLE SEATS IN CALIFORNIA

AND COLORADO.

IN PENNSYLVANIA, SEVERAL

OUTLETS HAVE DECLARED

REPUBLICAN DAVID MCCORMICK THE

WINNER.

BUT WITH NEARLY 100,000 BALLOTS

LEFT TO BE COUNTED, DEMOCRAT

INCUMBENT BOB CASEY HASN'T

CONCEDED.

MICHELLE LONDON, CBS

NEWS WASHINGTON WELL, OTHER

NEWS AS THE SENATE PREPARES FOR

CONFIRMATION HEARINGS,

PRESIDENT IS BUSY CHOOSING

NOMINEES FOR HIS CABINET.

HE MAY NOT WANT TO TAKE ADVICE

FROM ME BUT I HOPE HE'S

COUNTING THE NUMBER OF CONGRESS

REPRESENTATIVES HE HAS BEFORE

HE NOMINATES ANY MORE

REPRESENTATIVES TO THE CABINET.

HE MIGHT BE IN DANGER OF LOSING

THE MAJORITY.

WELL, JOHN JESSUP HAS THAT

STORY AND MORE OUR CBN NEWSROOM

IN WASHINGTON.

JOHN, THANKS GORDON.

A NEW BATCH OF NAMES COMING OUT

OF THE PRESIDENT ELECT'S CAMP.

HE'S EXPECTED TO CHOOSE FLORIDA

SENATOR MARCO RUBIO AS HIS

SECRETARY OF STATE.

SOUTH DAKOTA GOVERNOR KRISTI

NOEM AS SECRETARY OF HOMELAND.

AND FLORIDA CONGRESSMAN MIKE

WALTZ TO BE HIS NATIONAL

SECURITY ADVISER.

TRUMP ALREADY HAS NAMED NEW

YORK CONGRESSWOMAN STEFANIK AS

THE US AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED

NATIONS AND FORMER IMMIGRATION

AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT

DIRECTOR TOM HOMAN.

AS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR

DEPORTING IMMIGRANTS WHO CAME

TO THE UNITED STATES.

OR TURNING OUT TO ISRAEL.

THE NATION IS STILL REELING.

MUSLIMS TARGETED AND ATTACKED

JEWS FOLLOWING A SOCCER MATCH

IN AMSTERDAM, ISRAEL'S NEW

FOREIGN MINISTER HELPED

EVACUATE THOUSANDS OF ITS

CITIZENS FROM THE CITY ON HIS

RETURN.

GIDEON SAAR SAID HIS COUNTRY IS

BATTLING LEVEL OF ANTI-SEMITISM

NOT SEEN SINCE WORLD WAR TWO.

JULIE STAHL REPORTS.

THIS OF ANTI-SEMITISM YOU

SEE RIGHT NOW IS FOCUSED ON I

CALL IT NEW IDEAS FOCUSED ON

DENIAL OF THE RIGHT OF ISRAEL

TO EXIST AS A JEWISH STATE

FOCUSED ON THE DENIAL OF THE

RIGHT OF ISRAEL TO

SELF-DEFENSE, SPECIAL

EVACUATION FLIGHTS BROUGHT 2000

ISRAELIS HOME OVER THE WEEKEND

AFTER AMSTERDAM ATTACKS.

PART OF THAT IS DUE TO JEWS

BEING RIGHTS LIKE SELF-DEFENSE

WHICH THE U.N. GRANTS TO ALL

NATIONS.

AND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE

COUNTRY THAT IS MOST IN THE

WORLD, MOST THREATENED IN THE

WORLD WITH OTHER U.N. STATE

MEMBERS IRAN SPEAKING PUBLICLY

AND DELIBERATELY ABOUT

ELIMINATING IT.

BUT THIS COUNTRY IS ATTACKED

WITH AN EFFORT TO DENY ITS

RIGHTS SELF-DEFENSE.

SANGER IS CALLING ON ALL

NATIONS TO STAND UP AND MAKE

JEWISH COMMUNITIES SECURE MUCH

LIKE GERMANY A YEAR AGO WHEN IT

CRIMINALIZED THE PALESTINIAN

CHANT FROM THE RIVER TO THE

SEA.

PALESTINE WILL BE FREE THOSE

WHO TAKE CARE OF INSIDE MENT

AGAINST JEWS AND AGAINST THE

STATE OF ISRAEL AS THE ONLY

JEWISH STATE IN THE WORLD.

AND TO COMBAT SERIOUSLY A

PHENOMENON OF NEW ANTI-SEMITISM

WITH ALL ITS EXPRESSIONS

FOLLOWING MEETINGS WITH LEADERS

THE NETHERLANDS SAAR BELIEVES

THEY UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGE.

WE DISCUSSED DIFFERENT IDEAS

HOW TO DEAL WITH IT, WHAT TO DO

AND I'M SURE THAT WILL TAKE

PLACE IN EUROPEAN LEVEL.

AS FOR THE WAR IN LEBANON

SAAR SAYS THERE HAS BEEN

PROGRESS ON A CEASE FIRE

AGREEMENT WHICH MUST INCLUDE

HEZBOLLAH'S TOTAL DISARMAMENT

WITH NO ABILITY TO REGAIN

STRENGTH.

EVEN IF WE WILL REACH TO AN

AGREEMENT, THE MOST IMPORTANT

THING WILL BE NOT THE WORDS.

IN AN AGREEMENT WITH LEBANON

BUT TO ENFORCE SETTLEMENT AND

THE WILLINGNESS AND THE

DECISIVENESS, HE ADDS WHILE

BRINGING SECURITY TO ISRAEL IT

WOULD BENEFIT THE LEBANESE

PEOPLE.

WE WILL ASSURE THAT

HEZBOLLAH WILL NOT BE A THREAT

TO ISRAEL.

BUT INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY CAN

ASSURE THE FUTURE OF LEBANON AS

A FREE COUNTRY A SOVEREIGN

COUNTRY NOT AND FORCED TO BE AN

IRANIAN PROXY WHICH I'M SURE

THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE

CITIZENS OF LEBANON

TO BE.

JULIE STAHL, CBN NEWS,

JERUSALEM.

THANK YOU.

JULIE GORDON BACK OVER TO YOU.

YOU CAN JUST FEEL THE HEAVINESS

AS AS HE'S SPEAKING THAT.

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT TO

WONDER WHY IN THE WORLD DOES HE

STILL HAVE TO POINT OUT TO THE

WORLD COMMUNITY?

HERE WE ARE IN 2024.

IT'S A YEAR AFTER THE HORRIBLE

ATTACK OCTOBER 7TH AND YOU HAVE

TO GO THROUGH THE EXERCISE OF

POINTING OUT AND IT DOES SEEM

TO JUST BE CRAZY WHERE TRUTH

HAS BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.

THAT CHAIR FROM THE RIVER TO

THE SEA PALESTINE WILL BE FREE.

WE HAVE HEARD THE STREETS OF

NEW YORK.

WE HAVE HEARD IN OUR COLLEGE

CAMPUSES.

WE HAVE HEARD THAT AGAIN AND

AGAIN IN THIS ELECTION.

AND IT'S JUST A MYSTERY TO ME

THAT THE ENTIRE NATION DIDN'T

STAND UP AND SAY NO, NO, NOT ON

OUR WATCH.

YOU DON'T GET TO CHANT THAT IN

OUR STREETS.

I AM A FULL PROPONENT FREE

SPEECH.

BUT THAT SPEECH IN

PARTICULAR NEEDS TO BE CALLED

OUT FOR WHAT IT IS.

IT'S A CALL FOR GENOCIDE.

IT'S CALL TO KILL EVERY SINGLE

JEW IN ISRAEL, WIPE ISRAEL OFF

THE MAP.

LET US REALIZE WHAT IT REALLY

MEANS.

LET US STAND AGAINST IT AND AND

STAND FOR THE TRUTH THIS

MATTER.

HAMAS STARTED THIS HORRIBLE WAR

.

HAMAS WAS THE GOVERNMENT OF

GAZA.

HEZBOLLAH HAS SEIZED CONTROL OF

LEBANON IS USING SOUTHERN

LEBANON AS A MILITARY BASE TO

LAUNCH ROCKETS AGAINST.

OF COURSE ISRAEL HAS A RIGHT TO

DEFEND ITSELF OF COURSE IT HAS

A RIGHT TO STRIKE BACK AND NOT

SIT THERE AND TAKE IT.

IT HAS TO TAKE OUT THE ROCKET

LAUNCHERS.

IT HAS TO TAKE OUT HAMAS.

IT HAS TO FREE ITS HOSTAGES.

THE ENTIRE WORLD SHOULD GET

BEHIND THIS AND SAY NO, NO TO

THIS RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM.

IT'S A DEATH CULT WHERE THEY

PREFER TO DIE IN RATHER LIVE

IN PEACE WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS.

LET'S RECOGNIZE FOR WHAT IT IS.

IT IS EVIL AND LET'S CALL IT

WHAT IT IS.

LET'S STAND WITH ISRAEL IN HER

TIME NEED LET'S CONTINUE TO

SUPPORT HER WITH EVERYTHING

THAT WE HAVE.

SO THAT THIS TRUTH THIS

THIS, THIS THIS WONDERFUL LAND

THAT'S BEEN A LIGHT TO THE

NATIONS THEY'VE DONE SO MANY

WONDERFUL THINGS FOR ALL

CONNECTED WITH CBN NEWS ALL

ACROSS OUR PLATFORMS.

WELL THE NATION OF ISRAEL

HAS FACED CONTINUAL THREATS

SINCE ITS FOUNDING BACK IN

1948.

DESPITE ONGOING WARS THE

JEWISH HAS THRIVED.

IT'S ALSO BEEN A SOURCE OF HELP

FOR OTHER NATIONS THEIR TIMES

OF NEED.

STAND UP NATION HAS A NEW BOOK

THAT HOW ISRAELIS ARE SENDING

HUMANITARIAN AID AND SHARING

THEIR EXPERTISE WITH COUNTRIES

AROUND THE WORLD.

IN THE EARLY HOURS OF

OCTOBER 7TH, ISRAEL FACED OF

THE MOST BRUTAL ATTACKS IN ITS

HISTORY.

SHOCK WAVES FROM THAT DAY

TOUCHED THE DEPTHS OF ISRAEL'S

WHILE IGNITING A STORM OF

GRIEF, FEAR AND UNCERTAINTY.

YOU CAN SEE THIS TIME OF DEATH

AND DARKNESS A PROFOUND

RESILIENCE TO RISE AGAIN.

AVIVA COMPASS, AUTHOR OF

STANDUP NATION TAKES READERS ON

A JOURNEY TO THE LIVES OF

UNSUNG HEROES AND ORDINARY

ISRAELIS LIVING EXTRAORDINARY

LIVES.

HER BOOK CAPTURES ISRAEL'S

INDOMITABLE SPIRIT AND THE

HEART AND GRIT OF A PEOPLE WHO

EVEN IN THE FACE OF TERROR

REFUSE TO BE BROKEN BY A BAD

BLOOD.

IT'S A TESTAMENT TO ISRAEL'S

STRENGTH NOT JUST AS A COUNTRY

BUT AS A FAMILY THAT STANDS

FORGED FROM DECADES OF

ADVERSITY, TRAGEDY AND ENEMY

SEEKING THEIR DESTRUCTION.

ISRAELIS DETERMINATION HAS

BECOME LEGENDARY THROUGH

POWERFUL STORIES OF COURAGE AND

UNITY.

THIS FORMER SPEECHWRITER

REVEALS HOW HOPE, FAITH AND

WILL TO STAND UP ALLOW ISRAELIS

TO RISE AGAIN AGAIN.

KLOPP HAS ALSO CELEBRATES

ISRAEL'S HISTORY AND THE JEWISH

PRINCIPLE OF TIKKUN OLAM

HEALING THE WORLD TODAY THAT

HUMANITY AND AID INCLUDES

HELPING REFUGEES SEEKING

SHELTER ON A GREEK ISLAND TO

PROVIDING WEALTH TO AN AFRICAN

VILLAGE, BRINGING LIFE GIVING

WATER ALL IN AN EFFORT TO HELP

HEAL OUR SUFFERING WORLD.

IT'S AN AMAZING OFTEN UNTOLD

STORY NOW REVEALED WELL STAND

UP NATION AUTHOR AVIVA COMPASS

JOINS US NOW FROM OUR

NEWS BUREAU.

WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

IT'S A JOY TO HAVE YOU WITH US.

IT'S SUCH AN HONOR.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WELL, LET'S TALK ABOUT ISRAEL'S

HISTORY.

IT SEEMS TO BE INCREDIBLE

HERE IS THE NATION THE SIZE OF

NEW JERSEY?

IT SEEMS TO BE PUNCHING WELL

ABOVE ITS WEIGHT IN TERMS OF

OFFERING HUMANITARIAN AROUND

THE WORLD.

WHY IS THAT SUCH A SEEMINGLY

WELL-KEPT SECRET?

THAT'S EXACTLY THE QUESTION

THAT I HAD WHICH IS WHY IS THIS

GREAT STORY OF ISRAEL UNTOLD

STORY OF ISRAEL?

SO I USED TO SERVE AS THE

SPEECHWRITER FOR ISRAEL'S

DELEGATION TO THE UNITED

NATIONS AND I WAS WRITING

SPEECHES ON HUGE ARRAY OF

TOPICS THAT THE UN COVERS PEACE

AND SECURITY ECONOMICS, WOMEN'S

RIGHTS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

BUT WHEN IT CAME TO WRITING

ABOUT INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

AND HUMANITARIAN AID, I FOUND

MYSELF WHEN I WAS LEARNING

ABOUT THE EARLY STORY OF ISRAEL

IT HAS THIS REALLY REMARKABLE

SITUATION WHERE ISRAEL ITSELF A

DEVELOPING COUNTRY FOR ITS

FIRST TEN YEARS AND IT'S IN THE

CONTEXT OF THIS COUNTRY BEING

DESPERATELY POOR, BEING A

NATION THAT IS THAT IS FIGHTING

EXISTENTIAL WARS AGAINST ITS

NEIGHBORS.

IT'S A NATION MADE UP OF

HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS, REFUGEES

FROM ARAB LANDS.

ITS ECONOMY IS TANKING.

IT IS NOT THE LAND OF MILK

HONEY AS DESCRIBED IN THE

BIBLE.

IT IS DRY, IT IS ARID AND IN

THIS CONTEXT THAT ISRAEL GOES

AND FOUNDS AN INTERNATIONAL

DEVELOPMENT AGENCY ISRAEL THIS

TINY POOR COUNTRY HAS AN

INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

BEFORE THE UNITED STATES,

BEFORE CANADA, BEFORE THE UN

HAS ITS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.

AND I WANTED TO TELL THE STORY

OF HOW THAT CAME TO BE.

SO YOUR BOOK GOES INTO SOME OF

THE QUOTES FROM ISRAEL'S

LEADERS HISTORY AS TO WHY AND

THOSE QUOTES REALLY WITH ME.

IT JUST SEEMED TO BE A NATIONAL

OBLIGATION THAT SOMEHOW IF WE

DON'T DO THIS WE'RE GOING TO BE

MISSING OUT.

WHAT'S THE BACKGROUND TO

THAT?

SO WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT

ISRAEL'S PRIME MINISTER DAVID

BEN-GURION HERE HE APPOINTS

GOLDA MEIR BE THE FIRST FOREIGN

MINISTER.

THIS IS IN 1956.

SO IT'S JUST EIGHT YEARS AFTER

ISRAEL WAS FOUNDED.

AND GOLDA MEIR IS THE FOREIGN

MINISTER IS LOOKING AROUND THE

WORLD AND SEES THAT IT'S A

COUNTRY THAT IS DIPLOMATICALLY

AND POLITICALLY ISOLATED, DOES

NOT HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS IN

THE WORLD A SITUATION NOT

UNFAMILIAR.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY AS I

SAID, IT'S DESPERATELY POOR.

IT'S A COUNTRY OF REFUGEES.

THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO INSTITUTE

AUSTERITY MEASURES THAT ARE

BASICALLY RATIONING BASIC

GOODS.

AND GOLDMAN ERA I NEED TO

CHANGE THIS SITUATION.

AND SHE'S LOOKING AROUND AT THE

CONTEXT OF THE INTERNATIONAL

COMMUNITY AND SHE'S LOOKING AT

THE AT THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA

NOW AT THIS TIME WAVES OF

DECOLONIZATION ARE SPREADING

ACROSS.

COUNTRY AFTER COUNTRY GAINED

ITS INDEPENDENCE AND GOES ON TO

THE UNITED NATIONS.

SO GOLDA MEIR DECIDES TO GO AND

TAKE A TOUR THROUGH A NUMBER OF

NEWLY FOUND

AND SHE GOES AND WHAT SHE

DISCOVERS IS THAT THERE'S A

SITUATION VERY SIMILAR TO

ISRAEL.

THE COUNTRIES ARE A NEW THEY'RE

EMERGING FROM UNDER OF

COLONIALISM.

THEY'RE DRY.

THEY'RE ARID.

THEY'RE POOR.

GOLDA GOES TO DAVID BEN-GURION

AND SHE SAYS THE CONTEXT IS THE

SAME.

BUT HERE'S THE DIFFERENCE?

I AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT

ISRAEL IS GOING TO TRANSFORM

ITSELF INTO A PROSPEROUS NATION

AND IN THE PROCESS DOING SO I

WANT US TO LIFT UP THESE OTHER

NATIONS BY SHARING WE HAVE WE

DON'T HAVE MONEY BUT WE HAVE IS

KNOWLEDGE AND HAVE WHAT YOU'RE

DESCRIBING AUDACITY OR

CHUTZPAH?

WELL, THE IMPACT OF THAT.

YOU WERE AT THE UN.

IT TO ME THAT EITHER THE

COUNTRIES DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE

AID THAT THEY'VE RECEIVED FROM

ISRAEL BUT IT JUST SEEMS LIKE

EVERY TIME THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

VOTES IT TENDS TO VOTE AGAINST

ISRAEL.

WHY IS IT WHY ISN'T THERE

GRATITUDE FOR WHAT IS WHAT HAS

HAPPENED?

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

EVERY FALL WHEN WE WERE AT THE

GENERAL ASSEMBLY WE SEE THAT

COUNTRY AFTER COUNTRY VOTES

AGAINST ISRAEL OVER AGAIN.

THE SAME WITH THE HUMAN RIGHTS

COUNCIL IN GENEVA.

ONE OF THE REASONS IS THAT

ISRAEL HAS NEVER MADE IT

CONTINGENT.

THE AID IS NOT CONTINGENT

POLITICAL FAVORS OR UN VOTES.

IT'S A TRUE ACT OF GENEROSITY

TO BE ABLE TO DO IT.

AND I THINK THAT'S A REASONABLE

QUESTION TO ABOUT WHETHER THESE

COUNTRIES SHOULD BE SHOWING

GREATER RECIPROCITY AND

FAVOURABILITY TOWARDS ISRAEL.

WELL LET'S LOOK AT JUST RECENT

HISTORY.

YOU SINCE OCTOBER 7TH IS

SAME FIRE TO HELP THE WORLD.

IS THAT STILL THERE IN

ISRAELI SOCIETY OR IS THERE AN

INCLINATION TO PULL BACK AND

MAYBE IT'S TOO SOON AMSTERDAM

TO REALLY ANSWER BUT ARE PEOPLE

FEELING THAT THEY MIGHT

ACTUALLY BE AT RISK IN GOING

OTHER COUNTRIES TO EXTEND

HUMANITARIAN AID.

WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE LAST 14

MONTHS SINCE THE ABSOLUTE

ATROCITIES OF OCTOBER 7TH IS

SOMETHING THAT I DON'T THINK

WE'LL WE'LL SEE AGAIN IN OUR

LIFETIME.

WE'RE LIVING THROUGH SOMETHING

THAT'S A TRULY REMARKABLE

PERIOD OF NOT JUST FOR ISRAEL

AND FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE BUT

REALLY FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD AND

YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE WAY

THAT THIS WAR IS BEING PLAYED

OUT.

AS YOU SAID, THE STREETS OF

AMSTERDAM AND ANTWERP AND NEW

YORK CITY AND THROUGHOUT UNITED

STATES.

AND WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT

EVEN IN ISRAEL'S YEAR AND THE

CONTEXT THAT I DESCRIBED THE

CHALLENGES THAT IT WAS FACING

ISRAEL'S HAD A CHOICE TO MAKE

AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE

THAN REASONABLE FOR THEIR

LEADERS TO SAY WE HAVE TO TURN

INWARDS AND WE HAVE TO LOOK

AFTER OURSELVES.

THE SAME THING IS TRUE TODAY.

IT WILL BE MORE THAN REASONABLE

FOR ISRAEL'S GOVERNMENT AND FOR

THE ISRAELI PEOPLE TO SAY WE

HAVE TO TURN INWARDS AND LOOK

AFTER ONLY.

AND YET THAT ACTUALLY HASN'T

BEEN THE RESPONSE.

ALL OF INTERNATIONAL

DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS THAT

I PROFILED IN MY BOOK ARE STILL

DOING THIS WORK.

IT'S MUCH HARDER FOR THEM

BECAUSE RIGHT NOW IT'S MUCH

HARDER TO RAISE MONEY.

MOST PEOPLE WANT TO GIVE MONEY

FOR THE SURVIVORS OF OCTOBER

FOR EVACUEES IN ISRAEL THAT

HAVE BEEN FORCED FROM THEIR

HOMES IN THE SOUTH IN THE

NORTH.

BUT THE DETERMINATION TO DO

THIS WORK, THIS WILLINGNESS TO

DO THE WORK, THE DEVOTION TO

THE WORK THAT REMAINS

UNCHANGED.

WELL, THAT IS A TRUE

TESTAMENT TO THE THE SPIRIT OF

ISRAEL ALWAYS AMAZED ME HOW

MUCH WANT TO REACH OUT AND HELP

OTHER PEOPLE AND IN THAT I

CAN'T HELP BUT POINT OUT HAMAS

HAS NEVER HELPED ANYONE.

HEZBOLLAH HAS NEVER HELPED

ANYONE.

AND I WILL PUT OUT THERE THE

NATION OF IRAN HAS NEVER HELPED

ANYONE.

YOU IT ALL SEEMS TO BE BENT ON

THIS DEATH CULT AND IT'S

AMAZING TO ME THE WORLD WOULD

RALLY AROUND THEM NOT RALLY

AROUND ISRAEL ABSENT A

SPIRITUAL EXPLANATION THAT

SOMEHOW OR OTHER EVIL ATTRACTS

THIS KIND OF SUPPORT.

DO SEE ANY REASON FOR THAT?

I BELIEVE THAT THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE AND MOST PEOPLE ARE

DECENT GOOD PEOPLE THAT CAN

TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

RIGHT AND WRONG AND WHAT WE

NEED THOSE DECENT HONEST GOOD

PEOPLE TO DO IS TO SPEAK UP AND

ONE WAY THAT THEY CAN SPEAK UP

IS TO HELP THE HOSTAGES THAT

ARE STILL BEING HELD IN GAZA

101 PEOPLE OF WHICH SEVEN ARE

AMERICAN AND FOUR OF WHOM ARE

BELIEVED TO BE ALIVE AND ITS

IMPERATIVE ON EVERY SINGLE

AMERICAN ON EVERY SINGLE DECENT

PERSON TO LEARN THEIR NAMES AND

TO TAKE UP THEIR CAUSE AND

ENSURE THAT WE BRING THEM HOME

ALIVE AND DOING DOCUMENTARIES

ON ONE OF THE AMAZING THINGS

THAT I'VE DISCOVERED IS THAT

EVEN SECULAR ISRAELIS WHO

AREN'T READING TANAKH AREN'T

STUDYING SCRIPTURE ARE SAYING

JUST FROM FROM THEIR INNERMOST

BEING WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A

LIGHT TO THE NATIONS.

WHAT CAN THE WORLD LEARN

FROM ISRAEL'S LEADERSHIP IN US?

I LOVE THAT QUESTION.

I ACTUALLY DIVIDED MY BOOK INTO

FOUR DIFFERENT CHAPTERS.

I TRY TO MAKE A CASE FOR WHY

ISRAEL DOING THIS WORK OUTSIDE

OF ITS BORDERS.

AS WE SAID, IT'S AN UNTOLD

STORY AND AS YOU POINTED OUT

THERE'S NO RECIPROCITY.

ISRAEL DOESN'T SEEM TO BE

BENEFITING ECONOMICALLY OR

POLITICALLY.

SO WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?

I THINK IT GOES THE CORE OF WHO

ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE

ARE.

SO SPEAK ABOUT HOW THE REASONS

IT HAPPENS ARE FOR WHAT YOU

SAID TIKKUN OLAM THIS IDEA THAT

WE CAN BUILD A BETTER WORLD.

THE PRAGMATISM SIMPLE IDEA THAT

EVERY PERSON WANTS TO HAVE A

BETTER LIFE FOR THEIR FAMILY

FOR THEIR COMMUNITY, FOR THEIR

SOCIETY AND FOR THEIR COUNTRY

THE ADVENTURE THEM THIS DESIRE

THAT ALL OF US HAVE TO GO OUT

INTO THE WORLD TO AND

EXPERIENCE NEW THINGS AND

HOTSPUR ISM WHICH IS THAT THAT

NOTION THAT YOU CAN LOOK AT THE

WORLD AND SAY THE PROBLEMS ARE

ABSOLUTELY OVERWHELMING AND

ONE PERSON CAN'T MAKE A

DIFFERENCE.

BUT I PROFILED PEOPLE IN THIS

BOOK THAT SAY WE CAN ABSOLUTELY

MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

LOOK WHAT WE'VE DONE.

WELL, THE BOOK IS WONDERFUL.

IT'S CALLED STAND UP.

YOU CAN FIND IT WHEREVER

BOOKS ARE SOLD AND YOU CAN

LEARN THE SECRET OF WHY ISRAEL

IS A LIGHT TO THE NATIONS.

IT'S IT'S A REALLY

INCREDIBLE READ SO OF 5:00 FOR

US.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING WITH

US AND YOU COULD BE ASSURED

WHERE WE'RE STANDING WITH YOU

THAT'S 885 1717.

CALL NOW FARMING IS HARD WORK

IT INVOLVES LABOR THAT BEGINS

WELL BEFORE THE SUN RISES.

LARRY BIRKHEAD WAS NOT FULLY

AWARE OF ALL THAT IT ENTAILS.

BUT SHE WAS FULLY DETERMINED TO

TRY IT ANYWAY BECAUSE SHE HAD

BEEN GIVEN THE VISION FROM GOD

VERY FIRST TIME I HAD THE DREAM

IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE HAD A VIDEO

CAMERA AND THEY SPANNING

PROPERTY LIKE FROM LEFT TO

RIGHT AND I SAW PONDS, PASTURES

AND TREES AND IT WAS JUST VERY

BEAUTIFUL.

THEN AT THE END OF THIS THIS

VISION WAS JUST A VOICE.

THE VOICE SAID BUY LAND, GROW

FOOD AND GIVE IT AWAY.

AT FIRST LARRY BIRKHEAD DIDN'T

PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO THE DREAM

SHE HAD IN 2009.

AFTER ALL, SHE WAS NEVER MUCH

OF A BUT WHEN IT KEPT COMING

BACK OVER THE NEXT SHE BECAME

CONVINCED GOD WAS TELLING HER

TO START A FARM.

HER HUSBAND JIM WASN'T EXACTLY

FOND OF THE IDEA.

JIM ALSO BEING THE LOGICAL

MAN HE HAD SAID IN THE

BEGINNING, LORI, YOU KNOW

THAT'S NOT A DREAM.

THAT'S A NIGHTMARE.

JIM A DENTIST HAD WORKED ON A

FARM AS A TEENAGER.

I DON'T THINK SHE HAD AN IDEA

OF THE AMOUNT OF PHYSICAL LABOR

INVOLVED IN FARMING.

I KNEW IT WAS AN ARDUOUS

OBJECT OF BUT THE DREAM CAME

BACK STILL.

AND SO BY MY HEART REALLY

STARTED TO CHANGE.

GOD WAS PREPARING.

YOU KNOW I WAS MEETING

PEOPLE WHO WERE INVOLVED IN

AGRICULTURE AND THERE WERE

OTHER THINGS HAPPENING TOO.

THEY KEPT PUTTING ME FRONT

OF AGRICULTURE.

THEN LORI HAD ANOTHER DREAM

THAT SEEMED MORE FAR FETCHED

THAN THE FIRST.

SHE SAYS GOD TOLD HER TO SELL

THEIR HOME AND BUY A FARM

DURING A TWO YEAR SLUMP IN THE

REAL ESTATE MARKET.

AND I WOKE UP THINKING NO, I

CAN'T DO THAT.

I FELT LIKE IT WAS GOD BUT I

WAS STILL IN BARTER MODE, YOU

KNOW, LIKE I TEST THE WATERS

LOT WITH GOD IN PRAYER.

STILL THEY OBEYED AND PUT

THEIR HOUSE UP FOR SALE.

JIM STILL WASN'T TOTALLY THIS

WAS GOD'S PLAN.

HE GOES, YOU KNOW THIS HOUSE

SELLS.

THAT'S GOING TO BE GOD SAYING

GO TO THE FARM.

WE GET A CALL FROM THE REAL

ESTATE AGENT AND.

SHE SAID WE GOT A CONTRACT ON

YOUR HOUSE WITH NO

CONTINGENCIES.

AND THAT'S WHEN JIM I REALLY

GET CHILLS AND SAID I GUESS WE

GET UPON THAT FARM.

SO THAT IS HOW GOD BROUGHT JIM

ON BOARD BECAUSE PRIOR TO THAT

HE WAS JUST TOO LOGICAL TO OF

DOING SOMETHING SO ILLOGICAL.

A FEW MONTHS LATER LORI AND

JIM PURCHASED A 97 ACRE FARM

AND JOLT IN THAT NEEDED A LOT

OF WORK.

THEY NAMED BY FAITH FARM.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT EXACTLY

AHEAD BUT I DID KNOW AND DID

KNOW THAT GOD WAS TOTALLY IN

THIS AND THAT I DIDN'T TO BE I

DIDN'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID.

JIM CONTINUED WORK FULL TIME IN

HIS DENTAL PRACTICE WHILE

WORKING ON THE FARM WITH LORI

HIS TIME OFF.

THAT FIRST YEAR THEY HAD A

SMALL HARVEST THEY WERE ABLE TO

DONATE TO A LOCAL FOOD BANK.

WHEN YOU GIVE THE GIVER

RECEIVES THE BEST BLESSINGS AND

GRACE FROM GOD AND YOU WERE YOU

FELT USEFUL IN MISSION BECAUSE

YOU WERE THERE TO DO IT.

SO I DID GET TO SEE A LOT OF

HAPPY FACES OVER THE NEXT FOUR

YEARS THE FARM, THE HARVEST AND

,THE GIVING EXPANDED.

BY NOW WORD OF THE FARM HAD

SPREAD AND VOLUNTEERS WERE

COMING IN FROM ALL OVER TO HELP

GET A TASTE OF FARM LIFE AND

DRAW CLOSER TO GOD.

WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER AS A

COMMUNITY TO GIVE BACK TO THE

COMMUNITY BUT WE'RE ALSO

SHARING OUR FAITH WITH ANOTHER

WHICH JUST THAT'S BEEN THE THE

JOY IN ALL OF THIS.

EVEN THROUGH THE STORMS THE

FARM WOULD GO LIKE IN 2016 WHEN

JIM SHATTERED HIP AND ANKLE IN

AN ATV ACCIDENT.

HE NOT FORCED HIM TO RETIRE

FROM HIS DENTAL PRACTICE.

HE WASN'T SURE IF HE WOULD BE

ABLE TO CONTINUE HELPING WITH

THE FARM.

THERE WAS A KIND OF A

PESSIMISTIC BEWILDERMENT OF

WHAT'S GOING TO GO ON NOW.

YOU KNOW, AM I GOING TO WALK

THE SAME?

AM I GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THE

THINGS I WANT TO DO?

AM STILL GOING TO BE ABLE TO

HELP.

I WAS KIND OF FEARFUL AND A

LITTLE DEPRESSED AND I

QUESTIONED, YOU KNOW, IS THIS

THE END OF THE FARM?

I JUST THOUGHT OKAY, I DON'T

KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.

HOW DO YOU SELL FARM?

YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE

IT WAS MINE TO SELL.

TURNS OUT THEY WOULDN'T HAVE

TO SELL WHEN.

FOLKS HEARD ABOUT JIM'S

ACCIDENT.

THEY SHOWED UP IN DROVES AND

THE FARM GOING UNTIL JIM

RECOVERED FROM SEVERAL

SURGERIES AND REHAB.

THEN IN 2020 WHEN COVID SHUT

DOWN THE COUNTRY BY FAITH FARM

BECAME A PLACE OF PEACE AND

RENEWAL FOR VOLUNTEERS WHO

CONTINUED TO KEEP THE FARM

GROWING AND GIVING.

I COULD COME TO THE FARM AND

PUT MY HANDS IN THE.

IT WAS VERY THERAPEUTIC FOR ME

AND THEN IT BECAME VERY

THERAPEUTIC FOR MANY PEOPLE

BECAUSE EVERYBODY WANTED TO GET

OUT OF THE HOUSE AND BE IN A

SAFE PLACE SO WE COULD ALL BE

ON OUR OWN ROAD.

YOU KNOW, WEEDING, DOING,

HARVESTING WHATEVER WE WERE

DOING AT THAT TIME AND IT WAS

BEAUTIFUL.

THE BIRKHEAD'S ADMIT THAT

WHILE ANSWERING GOD'S CALL WAS

RISKY IT WAS WORTH IT.

TO DATE BY FAITH FARM HAS

DONATED ALMOST £200,000 OF FOOD

TO LOCAL CHARITIES AND FOOD

BANKS.

BUT TO THEM IT'S MORE THAN

THAT.

WHEN YOU HELP PEOPLE BY

ACTUALLY GETTING OUT OF YOUR

COMFORT ZONE, GOD WILL BLESS

YOU.

ABANDONED AND WHEN YOU THINK

THINGS ARE NOT GOING YOUR WAY

THAT GOD WILL PROVIDE WITH HIS

RESOURCES.

I THAT THE PURPOSE OF THE

FARM IS NOT JUST ABOUT FEEDING

PEOPLE'S BODIES BUT WE ALL NEED

SPIRITUAL TOO.

AND I BELIEVE THAT NATURE IS

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THAT WE

REALLY SEE GOD AND WE AND GET

TO KNOW HIM THROUGH NATURE.

SO LISTEN THEN STEP OUT IN

FAITH AND YOU WILL BE BLESSED

ABUNDANTLY.

I AGREE WITH, LAURIE.

NATURE REFLECTS WHO GOD IS IN

AN AMAZING, AMAZING WAY.

WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO PROMOTE

THE FAMILY FARM FEED PEOPLE

HEALTHY FOOD.

I MEAN I'M ALL FOR IT.

I, I THINK THEY'RE DOING A

GREAT I'M ALL FOR IT BUT I GREW

UP ON A FARM AND SO I'M LUCKY

THAT I GO AND THAT'S A LOT OF

WORK.

YOU KNOW?

NO SHOVEL HIM ACRES OF PASTURE

THAT NEEDED MOWING.

DAD AN ORGANIC GARDEN AND

GUESS WHO WAS THE GARDENER AND

?

IT WAS JUST A LOT OF WORK AND I

ADMIRE THAT.

OKAY.

BUT IF I HAVE THAT DREAM, I'M

REBUKING IT JUST NO, NO, NO,

NOT FOR ME.

SLASH ANXIETY FIRST HER HUSBAND

WAS A NO SHOW FOR DINNER THEN

HE DIDN'T ANSWER HIS PHONE OR

RESPOND TO TEXTS.

DAPHNE KNEW SOMETHING GONE

TERRIBLY WRONG WHEN SHE

COULDN'T GET IN TOUCH WITH HER

HUSBAND.

THEN SHE HEARD A KNOCK ON THE

FRONT DOOR.

CHARLES LEFT HERE THAT

THURSDAY EVENING AROUND 6:00

AFTER AROUND 730.

WE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING FROM

HIM SO MY DAUGHTER AND I, WE

KEPT CALLING HIM AND CALLING

AND TEXTING AND WE DIDN'T HEAR

ANYTHING FROM HIM AND THAT WAS

SO VERY UNUSUAL.

WHAT SEEMED LIKE AN ORDINARY

THURSDAY EVENING TO DAPHNE

BRAZILE WAS ABOUT TO BECOME

ONE OF THE DARKEST TIMES HER

LIFE.

I WAS GETTING A LITTLE NERVOUS.

IT WAS SO UNLIKE HIM TO NOT BE

HERE ESPECIALLY FOR DINNER.

DAPHNE'S HUSBAND CHARLES HAD

RUN TO HIS REAL ESTATE OFFICE,

CATCH UP ON WORK AS THE HOURS

PASSED WITH NO.

DAPHNE GREW CONCERNED.

THEN AROUND P M CAME A KNOCK ON

THE DOOR.

I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND

I'M LIKE OH MY GOODNESS, IT'S

THE POLICE.

MY HEART WAS BEATING SO VERY.

THAT OPENED THE DOOR.

THE POLICE SAID IS THIS THE

HOME CHARLES BRAZIL.

AT THAT MOMENT I WAS JUST

NUMB.

WAS JUST TOO MUCH TO TAKE AT

THAT TIME.

CHARLES HUSBAND AND FATHER

OF THREE HAD BEEN HIT BY A

DRUNK DRIVER.

HE DIDN'T SURVIVE.

I DIDN'T EVEN REALLY KNOW TO

SAY.

I JUST SIT IN COMPLETE SILENCE.

HER PASTOR WAS CALLED AND

SOON DAPHNE WAS SURROUNDED BY

FAMILY AND CHURCH FRIENDS.

I NEEDED THAT SUPPORT.

IT WAS COMFORTING BUT.

IT JUST SEEMED LIKE EVERY

SECOND WAS HITTING ME.

CHARLES IS NOT HERE.

CHARLES HAS DIED.

CHARLES WAS HIT BY A DRUNK

DRIVER.

I KEPT THINKING THAT I WAS

HAVING A NIGHTMARE AND I NEEDED

FOR THAT NIGHTMARE TO BE OVER

WITH BECAUSE I JUST COULDN'T

BELIEVE WHAT HAD HAPPENED.

BY 2 A.M. EVERYONE WAS GONE

AND DAPHNE WENT TO BED UNABLE

TO SLEEP.

SHE TOOK HER PAIN.

GOD.

I JUST HAD TO SIT THERE AND

JUST TRY TO GRASP WHAT HAS

HAPPENED.

JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY

OR WHAT TO DO OR THEY WERE JUST

IN A DEEP, DEEP, DEEP HURT.

I DIDN'T SIT IN COMPLETE

SILENCE AND JUST LET HIM TALK

TO MY HEART.

I KNEW THAT HE WAS GOING TO

THERE FOR ME TO COMFORT ME AND

HELP CARRY ME AND THE FAMILY

THROUGH THIS.

EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS HURTING,

DAPHNE SAYS SHE HAD NO HATRED

FOR THE MAN WHO TOOK HER

HUSBAND'S LIFE.

GOD HAD TAUGHT ME A LOT

ABOUT FORGIVENESS AND SO I KNEW

THAT THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I

WAS GOING TO HAVE TO DO.

BUT THE PAIN WAS STILL

THERE.

THE PAIN AND THE HURT WAS STILL

THERE BUT I KNEW THAT I HAD TO

LET GOD DO HIS JOB.

AS THE WEEKS TURNED INTO

MONTHS, DAPHNE AND HER FAMILY

CONTINUED TO RELY ON THE BIBLE

AND GOD FOR THEIR STRENGTH.

I JUST SEE HIS HAND ALL OVER MY

WITH JUST TAKING CARE OF

EVERYTHING FOR ME, HE CONTINUED

TO CARRY ME, COMFORT ME SO ME

WHENEVER I FEEL JUST A LITTLE

DOWN.

I DON'T GET LONELY BECAUSE I

KNOW THAT THE LORD HE'S HERE

WITH ME.

THEN IN FEBRUARY 2023, 21

MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT,

DAPHNE FINALLY FACED THE MAN

WHO KILLED HER HUSBAND.

IT WAS HIS TRIAL AND SHE

READ HER VICTIM IMPACT LETTER

TO HIM.

I FORGAVE HIM AND MY PRAYERS IS

THAT HE WOULD TURN HIS LIFE

AROUND WHILE HE'S IN PRISON.

IT JUST GOD JUST SPEAKING FROM

MY HEART TO HIM TO LET HIM KNOW

THAT GOD LOVES HIM AND GOD HAS

MIGHTY PLANS FOR HIM AND THAT

HE'S BY ME.

I DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE

FORGIVEN THE YOUNG WITHOUT GOD

TO IF I HAD FORGIVEN HIM.

I PROBABLY HAVE AN ATTITUDE

PROBABLY MEAN ANGRY, HATEFUL

NOT A GOOD PERSON.

THE DRIVER WAS GUILTY OF

MANSLAUGHTER AND SENTENCED TO

20 YEARS IN PRISON.

I TOLD HIM THAT MY HUSBAND

WOULD HAVE BEEN 57 THE YEAR OF

THIS TRIAL AND I SAID I PRAY

THAT YOU TOUCH 57 SOULS WHILE

YOU ARE IN PRISON AND THAT IT

WILL THAT YOUR YOUR STORY WOULD

MAKE AN IMPACT ON THEIR LIVES.

ALTHOUGH HER HEALING IS

STILL IN PROCESS, DAPHNE HAS

EXPERIENCED THE PEACE AND

FREEDOM THAT COMES WITH

FORGIVING PEOPLE WHO'VE HURT

YOU.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE

LEARN TO FORGIVE SO THAT WE

COULD BE SET FREE BECAUSE WHEN

YOU ARE IN A UNFORGIVENESS

STATE IT'S LIKE YOU ARE IN A,

YOU'RE IN DARKNESS AND IT

REALLY HINDERS YOUR

RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD.

FORGIVENESS IS TRULY

SOMETHING HARD BUT GUESS WHAT?

WITH CHRIST IT CAN BE.

I'M A LIVING WITNESS.

IT CAN BE DEFINITELY EASY IF

THEY CHOOSE TO LET THE LORD

COMFORT THEM AND HELP THEM

THROUGH THAT PROCESS IT CAN BE

DONE 100%.

LIFE IS WONDERFUL BUT IT'S ALSO

FILLED WITH UNEXPECTED SUDDENLY

WITH LOSS, WITH UNFAIRNESS

SOMETIMES AND WHAT DAPHNE'S

TALKING ABOUT IS TAKING THE

REPERCUSSIONS OF ALL THAT IN

YOUR HEART AND IN YOUR MIND AND

GIVING IT TO THE LORD SO HE CAN

SET YOU FREE.

YOU KNOW, LOTS OF TIMES I THINK

IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD HE

ASKS US TO DO WHAT IS

COUNTERINTUITIVE TO.

YOU KNOW IF SOMEONE TAKES YOUR

JACKET GIVE HIM YOUR SHIRT ALSO

NOT FAIR.

YOU KNOW, IF DOES SOMETHING

AGAINST YOU DON'T BE BITTER.

DON'T ANGRY.

FORGIVE GOD DOESN'T US TO DO

THOSE THINGS TO TAKE THAT

POSITION OF LETTING GO BECAUSE

HE JUST WANTS US TO MARCH THE

TUNE OF HIS DRUMMER RATHER THAN

OUR OWN GOD US TO DO THOSE

THINGS BECAUSE HE WANTS US TO

HAVE WHAT DAPHNE TALKED ABOUT.

HE WANTS US TO BE SET FREE.

SHE IS SO RIGHT WHEN WE WALK

BITTERNESS OR RESENTMENT EVEN

HATRED.

IT EATS US ALIVE MAY NOT

FEEL LIKE IT FIRST YOU KNOW

THOSE FEELINGS ARE OVERWHELMING

AND SOMETIMES FEEL SO JUSTIFIED

IN HANGING ON TO THEM.

BUT JESUS TREATS ME WITH THE

KIND OF JUSTIFICATION THAT SAYS

HE ACCEPTS ME JUST AS IF I

NEVER SINNED.

AND THEN HE TURNS AROUND AND HE

ASKS YOU AND ME TO DO THE SAME

THING TOWARD OTHERS.

YOU KNOW THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE

TO DAPHNE THAT THAT YOUNG MAN

WAS GOING TO CHANGE?

NO GUARANTEE THAT IN MOMENT

WHEN SHE SHARED SO VULNERABLY

THAT HE GOT WHAT IT WAS SHE WAS

SAYING BUT SHE WAS PRAYING OVER

HIM AND WHAT SHE SAID THAT GOD

WOULD TAKE WHAT HAD BEEN UGLY

AND SELFISH AND UNFAIR AND MAKE

SOMETHING THAT MATTERS OUT OF

IT.

AND DO YOU KNOW THAT'S WHAT

SCRIPTURE SAYS GOD WILL DO?

OH, THE WORD OF GOD IS SO FULL

OF THE PROMISES OF GOD.

YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY

ARE SO YOU CAN CLAIM THEM,

STAND IN THEM, PRAY THEM OVER

YOURSELF AND PRAY OVER OTHER

PEOPLE.

ALL THINGS THIS IS GOD'S WORD.

ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR

GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD AND

ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS

PURPOSES ALL THINGS THE GOOD,

THE BAD, THE UGLY.

GOD PROMISES TO TAKE IT ALL

AND MAKE SOMETHING THAT MATTERS

OUT IT.

THE QUESTION IS WILL YOU GIVE

IT TO HIM?

YOU KNOW IT MIGHT NOT BE THE

LOSS SOMEONE TO DEATH IN YOUR

LIFE BUT MAYBE IT'S THE END OF

A RELATIONSHIP YOU DIDN'T WANT

TO END.

MAYBE IT'S DRUGS HAVE

SWALLOWED WHOLE OR SOMEONE YOU

LOVE AND YOU'RE JUST SICK AND

TIRED OF GRACE FILLED AND

MERCIFUL.

GIVE IT TO GOD.

HE'S SO MUCH BIGGER THAN WE

ARE.

HE GETS US FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

HE MADE YOU.

HE MADE YOU.

HE'S THAN ENOUGH FOR YOUR

CIRCUMSTANCE.

JUST ASK HIM.

THAT'S PRAYER.

JUST ASK HIM.

JESUS, I NEED YOU.

I NEED YOUR WAY OVER MY WAY AND

I SURRENDER.

IF YOU NEED CALL OUR TOLL FREE

LINE ONE 800 707,001 TO LEAVE

YOU WITH THESE WORDS FROM

ISAIAH 4031.

THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD WILL
