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.
I'LL TAKE IT.
I WILL GROW SOME TOMATOES IN
THE BACKYARD AND THEN SOME DAYS
LOADS OF OTHER THINGS.
IT IS IT DOES TASTE A WHOLE

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
