WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

LET'S GO OVER TO THE

NEWSROOM FOR TODAY'S TOP

STORIES.

THANKS, GORDON.

JIMMY CARTER, THE NATION'S

LONGEST PRESIDENT AND NOBEL

PEACE PRIZE WINNER HAS DIED AT

AGE 100.

CARTER HELPED THE NATION

RECOVER FROM AN UNPAID

PRECEDENTED A GOVERNMENT

SCANDAL AND HE BROKERED A

HISTORIC PEACE DEAL BETWEEN

ISRAEL AND EGYPT.

YET A SICK ECONOMY AND FOREIGN

POLICY FAILURES LIMITED HIM TO

ONE TERM A MAN OF CHRISTIAN

FAITH.

HE MIGHT BE BEST REMEMBERED FOR

HIS YEARS OF SERVICE AFTER HE

LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE.

WHICH LOOKS BACK ON HIS LIFE

AND LEGACY.

I, JIMMY CARTER, DO SOLEMNLY

SWEAR THAT WILL FAITHFULLY WHEN

HE TOOK THE OATH OF OFFICE IN

1977.

JAMES EARL CARTER JR BROUGHT A

BREATH OF FRESH AIR TO

WASHINGTON A SOUTHERN BAPTIST

SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER AND

PEANUT FARMER.

THE GEORGIA GOVERNOR CAME FROM

NOWHERE IN 1976 TO DEFEAT

PRESIDENT GERALD FORD.

GOOD EVENING.

PRESIDENT NIXON REPORTEDLY WILL

ANNOUNCE HIS RESIGNATION

TONIGHT.

AND ALMOST OVERNIGHT SCANDAL

WEARY AMERICANS COULD PUT

WATERGATE AND THE NIXON FORD

YEARS BEHIND THEM AT THE CARTER

YEARS SAW THE DAWN OF DISCO AND

OVERSEAS THE PROMISE OF A

VIGOROUS NEW POPE FROM POLAND

JOHN PAUL THE SECOND WITH

CARTER.

MANY EVANGELICALS WERE

THRILLED THAT ONE OF THEIR OWN

MADE IT TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

HE SPOKE THEIR LANGUAGE AND

THERE WAS REAL HOPE HE COULD

TURN THE COUNTRY AROUND.

BEFORE THE 76 ELECTION HE

TALKED TO CBN FOUNDER PAT

ROBERTSON NOT FACING IN CRISIS

GO WITH AGING WITH

RESPONSIBILITY.

AS PRESIDENT HE FACED A

WORLD FULL OF DANGER.

THE SOVIET COMMUNIST MENACE

LURKED ON EVERY CONTINENT.

THE NUMBER KILLED IN TEHRAN

SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE

MONTH IS PROBABLY WELL OVER

100.

IN IRAN MORE TROUBLE A

REVOLUTION LED BY AN OBSCURE

CLERIC.

THE AYATOLLAH KHOMEINI TURNED

THE COUNTRY UPSIDE DOWN.

SUDDENLY AN ALLY BECAME AN

ENEMY AND IN NOVEMBER 1979

KHAMENEI'S FOLLOWERS TOOK 52

AMERICANS HOSTAGE.

A FAILED RESCUE ATTEMPT

ENDED THE DEATHS OF EIGHT U.S.

SERVICEMEN.

CRITICS SAY CARTER'S IRAN

LEGACY CONTINUES TO HAUNT US

TODAY BUILDING, BUILDING,

BUILDING SKYSCRAPERS WHILE TO

CONTROL SURGING INFLATION AT

HOME.

IT GREW EVEN MORE DURING HIS

TERM AS INTEREST RATES SOARED,

AMERICANS LOST JOBS.

THE EROSION OF OUR

CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE.

IN THE SUMMER OF 79 HE MADE HIS

FAMOUS MALAISE IN WHICH HE

SEEMED TO BLAME THE COUNTRY'S

PROBLEMS ON AMERICAN PEOPLE.

IT IS A CRISIS OF CONFIDENCE

.

IT IS A CRISIS THAT STRIKES

AT THE VERY HEART AND SOUL AND

SPIRIT OF OUR NATIONAL WORLD.

THE TERRIBLE ECONOMY HAUNTED

THE PRESIDENT'S CAMPAIGN.

HE WAS CHALLENGED BY

REPUBLICAN RONALD REAGAN WHO

TOLD AMERICANS IT WAS TIME TO

CHANGE LEADERS.

ARE YOU BETTER OFF THAN YOU

WERE FOUR YEARS AGO?

BUT AS A FORMER PRESIDENT HE

DREW ADMIRATION FOR HIS WORK

CHAMPIONING HUMAN RIGHTS AND

CHARITABLE CAUSES LIKE HABITAT

FOR HUMANITY.

THE WORLD FOUND OUT ABOUT

HABITAT IN 1984 WHEN PRESIDENT

CARTER AND MRS. CARTER RODE A

BUS UP FROM PLAINS, GEORGIA TO

NEW YORK CITY AND SPENT A WEEK

SLEEPING IN A CHURCH BASEMENT

AND REHABBING A BUILDING ON THE

LOWER EAST SIDE OF MANHATTAN.

AND NO ONE HAD EVER SEEN A

FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

STATES BEHAVING THIS.

CARTER TOLD GORDON ROBERTSON

IT WAS HIS WAY OF PUTTING HIS

FAITH INTO ACTION.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR

US TO ACTUALLY THINGS TO

DEMONSTRATE OUR BELIEF AS JESUS

DID HIS WHOLE LIFE.

HE DIDN'T JUST PREACH.

YOU KNOW, HIS LIFE WAS DEVOTED

TO REACHING OUT TO THE WHO

WOULD BE THE AIDS VICTIM

NOWADAYS OR TO THOSE WHO WERE

IN PRISON OR THOSE WHO WERE

POVERTY STRICKEN OR WHO HAD A

DIFFERENT SKIN LIKE THE

SAMARITANS AS YOU KNOW OR WHO

WERE SINNERS.

THE 39TH PRESIDENT WAS

HAPPILY MARRIED TO HIS WIFE

ROSALYNN FOR SEVEN YEARS.

THE FORMER FIRST LADY, A

RESPECTED FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND

HUMAN RIGHTS DIED AT AGE 96 AT

HOME IN GEORGIA ALONGSIDE HER.

CARTER WAS IN HOSPICE CARE WHEN

HIS WIFE DIED NEARLY TEN YEARS

PRIOR.

HE DEFIED ODDS BEATING A GRIM

DIAGNOSIS.

MELANOMA HAD SPREAD TO HIS

BRAIN AND LIVER BUT JUST MONTHS

LATER AFTER SURGERY, RADIATION

AND IMMUNOTHERAPY, HE ANNOUNCED

HE WAS CANCER FREE.

SO A LOT PEOPLE PRAYED FOR

ME AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

THROUGHOUT ALL THE BATTLES

HE FACED IN LIFE, CARTER LEANED

HEAVILY ON HIS FAITH.

I THINK I HAVE BEEN HAS

BLESSED AS ANY HUMAN BEING IN

THE JENNIFER WISH ON CBS.

NICE TRIBUTE.

THANKS, JENNIFER.

WELL PRESIDENT, JOE BIDEN HAS

CALLED FOR A NATIONAL DAY OF

MOURNING FOR PRESIDENT CARTER

ON JANUARY 9TH.

LAST NIGHT HE OFFERED WORDS OF

PRAISE FOR HIS LONGTIME FRIEND.

TODAY AMERICA AND THE WORLD

IN MY VIEW LOST A REMARKABLE

LEADER.

HE WAS A STATESMAN AND

HUMANITARIAN AND AND I LOST A

DEAR FRIEND.

PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP HONORED

FORMER PRESIDENT CARTER WITH

THESE WORDS ON TRUE SOCIAL HE

DID EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO

IMPROVE THE LIVES OF ALL

AMERICANS.

FOR THAT WE ALL OWE HIM A DEBT

OF GRATITUDE.

EVANGELIST FRANKLIN GRAHAM

EXPRESSED APPRECIATION FOR

PRESIDENT CARTER'S ATTENDANCE

AT THE OPENING OF THE BILLY

GRAHAM LIBRARY IN CHARLOTTE IN

2007 POSTING ON FACEBOOK QUOTE

HE AND MY FATHER BILLY GRAHAM

HAD A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP.

I KNOW THAT HIS FAMILY

APPRECIATE YOUR PRAYERS.

WELL, TURNING THE RARE AND

DANGEROUS WEATHER THIS WEEKEND,

TORNADOES ACROSS THE SOUTH

KILLED AT LEAST FOUR PEOPLE.

MORE THAN FIVE TWISTERS WERE

REPORTED ACROSS SIX STATES.

CLOSE TO A DOZEN HIT THE

HOUSTON AREA DAMAGING 300

STRUCTURES AND PUTTING SEVERAL

PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL IN

MISSISSIPPI, THREE TREES FELL

ON THE MIKE CARROLL'S HOME.

SOMEBODY WAS TAKING CARE OF

ME LAST NIGHT BUT YEAH, WE'RE

FINE.

GOD BLESS AND WILL IN JACKSON

COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI.

SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD TO BE

RESCUED FROM THEIR HOMES

BECAUSE OF FLOODING.

OVERSEAS IN SOUTH KOREA NOW

INVESTIGATORS FOR ANSWERS IN

THE PLANE CRASH THAT LEFT AT

LEAST 179 PEOPLE DEAD.

THE PLANE SEEN SKIDDING ON ITS

BELLY ALONG THE RUNWAY AT HIGH

SPEED WITH NO LANDING GEAR.

IT HIT A WALL AND EXPLODES INTO

FLAMES.

ONLY TWO PEOPLE SURVIVED.

THE TOWER WARNED OF A BIRD

STRIKE RIGHT BEFORE THE CREW

DECLARED AN EMERGENCY.

TURNING NOW TO THE IMPACT OF

THE CIVIL THAT'S RAVAGED THE

ASIAN NATION OF MYANMAR.

MORE THAN 3 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE

FLED THEIR HOMES IN RECENT

YEARS.

SYRIAN'S LUCILLE TILLERSON

SHOWS US HOW AN AMERICAN

VOLUNTEER IS HELPING SOME

CHILDREN OVERCOME THEIR TRAUMA

AFTER ESCAPING WAR TORN.

CHILDREN FIND REFUGE ATTENDING

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL IN THIS

BURMESE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

THESE CHILDREN SINGING ABOUT

NOAH'S ARK THAT ALL THE ANIMALS

IN NOAH'S ARK LOVE EACH OTHER.

THE CAT AND THE MOUSE DON'T

HATE EACH.

IT IS A STRONG MESSAGE TO BE

HEARD ACROSS MYANMAR FOR THE

FIGHTING TO STOP AND FOR THE

PEOPLE TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER JUST

LIKE THE ANIMALS IN THE WEST

ARE AMERICAN.

JEFFREY MCCONNELL VOLUNTEERS

HERE ON WEEKENDS TO TEACH THE

BIBLE ENGLISH AND SOCIAL SKILLS

DURING THE WEEK HE TEACHES IN A

CHRISTIAN SCHOOL WHERE STUDENTS

ARE REFUGEES.

MCCONNELL TELLS CBN HOW THEY

SHARE HEARTBREAKING STORIES

ABOUT MYANMAR'S MILITARY THE

TATMADAW'S BRUTALITY AGAINST

THEIR FAMILIES.

SHE WAS CORINNE AND HER

FATHER A WORKER FOR THE

RESISTANCE.

YOU KNOW THE FACT THAT HE HAD

DEFENDED HIS FAMILY AND, HIS

PEOPLE AGAINST THE TATMADAW,

AGAINST THEIR ATROCITIES THAT

HE WAS WANTED FOR MURDER.

AND SO WHEN THE TATMADAW

CAME INTO THE VILLAGE, YOU

KNOW, THEY SAID THIS MAN IS

GUILTY OF MURDER AND WE WILL

EXECUTE HIM.

AND WHEN THEY ASK FOR A FINAL

FINAL REQUEST HE SAID I WOULD

LIKE TO SEE MY DAUGHTER.

AND SO THEY BROUGHT THE

DAUGHTER TO HIM AND SHE HELD

HAND AND HE WAS EXECUTED.

FILLED WITH COMPASSION

THOUGHTS THE SUFFERING

CHILDREN.

MCCONNELL REGULARLY TREATS THEM

FUN ACTIVITIES.

ON THIS PARTICULAR HOLIDAY HE

TOOK THEM TO A NEARBY STREAM

FOR A SWIM.

THEY FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES

AND.

THIS IN CONTRAST AND SO PEOPLE

TEND TO SEE THEM AS OH THEY ARE

THE POOR LITTLE REFUGEE

CHILDREN.

YOU KNOW I WANT THE WORLD TO

KNOW.

THESE ARE CHILDREN.

THEY HAVE THE SAME HOPES AND

DREAMS THAT ALL CHILDREN HAVE

AND IN THAT SENSE WE WANT TO

FULFILL THOSE HOPES AND DREAMS.

MCCONNELL ALSO HELPED ENROLL

RUTH, ONE OF THE REFUGEES IN

THE SCHOOL WHERE HE TEACHES.

SHE'S GOT SO MANY LEADERSHIP

QUALITIES.

IF SHE FINISHES OUR PROGRAM

THEN THERE'S A VERY GOOD

OPPORTUNITY SHE COULD POSSIBLY

BE SCHOLARSHIP TO A BIBLE

COLLEGE AND IN AUSTRALIA OR THE

UNITED STATES.

YEAH.

SEE IN MYANMAR WE WERE VERY

POOR.

WE STRUGGLED TO BE ABLE TO EAT

ONE MEAL EACH DAY.

WE DID NOT GET GOOD EDUCATION

HERE.

THE PASTOR ABOUT JESUS AND

AFTER WE RECEIVE JESUS RUTH WAS

BORN.

I BELIEVE GOD WILL GIVE RUTH AN

EXCELLENT.

I THANK JESUS, I SAID WE PRAY

TO TRANSLATE DEATH.

WHEN I SEE THESE CHILDREN IN

ETERNITY WE WILL REJOICE

TOGETHER.

I'M ALWAYS A LITTLE BIT

SURPRISED WHEN PEOPLE SAY

TEACHER JEFF, YOU KNOW YOU'RE

DOING SO MUCH FOR THEM.

THEY'RE DOING JUST AS MUCH FOR

ME.

THEY'RE THEIR PRECIOUS SMILES,

THEIR HUGS, THEIR FRIENDSHIP,

THEIR SHARED GOAL THAT THEY

HAVE.

THEY SEEM TO LISTEN.

CBN NEWS MASSAD PILOT AND

THANKS LUCILLE WILL STAY WITH

WELL MOUNTAIN CLIMBING IS AN

EXTREME SPORT MORE OF THE

WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS CLIMBERS

THEIR BODIES RISK THEIR LIVES.

AND FOR THE TWO MEN YOU'RE

ABOUT TO MEET, IT'S A MEANS OF

DRAWING CLOSER TO GOD.

SAPIENS BRODY CARTER BRINGS US

THEIR STORY FROM.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK.

PEOPLE TRAVEL WORLDWIDE JUST TO

WITNESS THE BEAUTY HERE AT

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK IT'S

BREATHTAKING.

BUT FOR ONE LOCAL ROCK CLIMBER

THIS IS MORE OF HIS SANCTUARY.

IT'S A PLACE OF HEALING.

HE'S GROWING IN HIS FAITH

ONE CAREFUL STEP AT A TIME.

YOU GOT TO TRY IT BECAUSE

YOU'RE HUNDREDS OF FEET OFF THE

GROUND AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT

THIS.

IT'S BECOMES ADDICTING AS SEEN

AS THE TOP ROCK CLIMBING IN

AMERICA.

YOSEMITE VALLEY OFFERS DEATH

DEFYING ROUTES VIEWS THAT

MARVEL AT THE BIBLE SAYS THAT

THE EARTH CRIES OUT THE GLORY

OF GOD.

YOU KNOW EVEN THE STONES CRY

OUT.

KEN JOHNSON IS A CERTIFIED AND

ROCK CLIMBER.

SO THIS CLIMB IS CALLED

BISHOP'S TERRACE.

HE COMES HERE OFTEN TO

EXERCISE BOTH HIS PHYSICAL AND

SPIRITUAL.

CONQUERING NEW CLIMBING

ROUTES FOR FUN.

IF YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A

DIFFICULT FIRST OF ALL GET

OUTSIDE THE PULSE OF THE EARTH

DIFFERENT THAN WHAT YOU'RE

GOING TO HAVE ON YOUR TV OR IN

YOUR PHONE OR IN THE CITY OR

WHATEVER.

AND IT'S HEALING.

THE MOUNTAINS, HOWEVER CAN BE

UNFORGIVING.

THE DAY BEFORE WE ARRIVED AN

ACCIDENT CLAIMED THE LIFE OF

ANOTHER CLIMBER.

BETWEEN 12 AND 15 DEATHS HAPPEN

HERE EACH YEAR MAINLY DUE TO

SLIPS AND FALLS.

SAFETY IS AN ILLUSION.

I THINK IT'S REALLY TO MAKE A

MISTAKE IF YOU'RE NOT BEING

CAREFUL AND METHODICAL AS

YOU'RE CLIMBING.

SO YOU JUST REALLY HAVE TO

CHECK YOURSELF AND ALSO CHECK

PARTNER.

LONGTIME CLIMBING PARTNER

ERIC HAGAN HAS CLIMBED THAN 30

YEARS LEARNING HIS CRAFT BY

KENT'S EXAMPLE.

AND SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT.

THERE'S DEFINITELY A MACHO

CULTURE AROUND THESE KIND OF

ACTIVITIES AND I THINK, YOU

KNOW, PEOPLE WHEN THEY BECOME

REALLY GOOD AT SOMETHING PUT A

LOT OF FAITH IN THEMSELVES.

KENT'S JOURNEY TO THAT KIND

OF FAITH, HOWEVER, BEGAN WITH

HIM AT ROCK BOTTOM ROAD AND

ADDICTION BECAME HIS FIRST

MAJOR MOUNTAIN TO OVERCOME.

WHEN HIGH SCHOOL I PLAYED

SOCCER I PARTIED A LOT AND

ENDED UP GETTING IN TROUBLE,

ENDED UP GOING TO UNIVERSITY IN

INDIANA AND WAS ARRESTED FOR

BEING DRUNK AND DISORDERLY AND

I VARIOUS ADDICTIONS AT THE

TIME.

AT THE TIME I WAS IN DEEP

REBELLION IN MY LIFE.

KENT'S LIFE CHOICES LANDED

HIM IN A DRUG RECOVERY CENTER

IN MONTANA.

DURING REHABILITATION HE FELL

IN LOVE WITH NATURE, LEARNED

ABOUT CLEAN LIVING AND HOW TO

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS.

FOR ME I HAD TO FIGURE OUT

WHAT THE PURPOSE OF MY LIFE WAS

AND I GOT TO A POINT IT'S A

CROSSROADS AND.

I REALIZED YOU KNOW WHAT I

BELIEVE THERE'S A GOD IN THE

UNIVERSE.

I IT'S JESUS CHRIST.

I'M NOT RUNNING ANYMORE.

KENT TRADED ADDICTIONS FOR THE

THRILL OF THE MOUNTAIN WHICH

HELPED HIM CLIMB IN HIS FAITH

AND MAKE MOUNTAINEERING A

CAREER.

SHORTLY AFTER HE MET THE

LOVE OF HIS LIFE FERN AND

STARTED A FAMILY.

I THINK GOING TO WILDERNESS

TREATMENT CENTER IN MONTANA IT

BROKE ME OUT OF MY WORLD AND IT

SHOWED ME THE STUNNING

INCREDIBLE BEAUTY OF CREATION.

AND I COULDN'T DENY IT.

OVER TIME LIFE KENTON ERIC DOWN

SEPARATE PATHS WHILE ERIC ALSO

STARTED A FAMILY AND BECAME A

SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.

HE SECRETLY WRESTLED WITH GOD

OVER A DEEP CHILDHOOD TRAUMA.

I COULD SEE GOD FORGIVING

THE PERSON THAT DID THIS

HORRIBLE THING FOR ME AS A AS A

CHILD I DON'T THINK I HAD

ACCEPTED THAT SAME FORGIVENESS

IN MY OWN LIFE.

AND THAT WAS A TRANSFORMATIVE

PIECE.

SO LORD, WE JUST THANK YOU FOR

A BEAUTIFUL DAY.

KEEP US SAFE.

THIS CLIMB IS KENTON ERIC'S

20 YEAR REUNION.

DESPITE LIFE'S LONG AND

SOMETIMES CHALLENGING ASCENT,

THEY BOTH RELIED ON GOD TO GET

THEM THROUGH IT AND FOUND THE

VIEW FROM THE TOP.

TOTALLY WORTH IT.

AND SO THAT'S WHY I LOVE

CLIMBING BECAUSE.

IT'S LIKE A SMALL METAPHOR OF

LIFE.

WHEN YOU GO TO A CAMP OR YOU

GET OUT INTO NATURE, TAKES YOU

OUT OF YOUR NORMAL ROUTINE AND

THAT'S WHERE GOD WORKS.

HAVING FAITH CHRIST IS CRITICAL

FOR ME FOR YOU KNOW, LIVING A

LIFE OF WISDOM AND YOU KNOW,

OBVIOUSLY I USE THE WILDERNESS

AS INSPIRATION TO CONTINUE ON

FOR WHEN I GO THROUGH THE

STRUGGLES I ALSO GO TO THE

WORD.

REPORTING IN YOSEMITE

NATIONAL PARK, CALIF BRODY

CARTER, CBN NEWS.

WELL IT'S AMAZING WHAT BEING

OUT IN NATURE WILL DO DO FOR

YOU?

BECAUSE THE HEAVENS TRULY DO

DECLARE THE GLORY OF THE LORD.

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A

MOUNTAINTOP EXPERIENCE TO

CONVINCE YOU.

WOW THERE IS A CREATOR.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME.

ALL THAT SAID, YOU'RE NEVER

GOING TO SEE ME CLIMB ON A ROCK

.

JUST I'M JUST I'M NOT BUILT

FOR THAT.

BELOW WITH YOU I DO.

I DO LIKE HIKING BUT THESE

DAYS HIKING ARE KIND OF

STRANGERS BUT IT IT IS ALWAYS

GREAT TO GET OUT INTO IT AND

NOW I A CAMERA ALONG WITH ME TO

RECORD IT THE MAGNIFICENT I

MEAN YOU CAN'T DENY THAT IT'S

JUST THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAINS

HIGH AND THE ROCKS ARE REALLY

HARD AND IF YOU FALL YOU'RE

GOING TO HURT.

THAT'S CORRECT.

TOTAL OBSESSION.

THAT'S HOW HAILEY ERICKSON

DESCRIBED HER RELATIONSHIP WITH

FOOD AND EXERCISE.

HER LIFE WAS SO CONSUMED WITH

COUNTING CALORIES AND WORKING

OUT THERE WAS LITTLE TIME FOR

ANYTHING ELSE.

THEN ONE DAY SHE INJURED HER

LEG AND ALL THAT EXERCISE HAD

TO STOP.

ROBBED OF HER OBSESSION, HAILEY

WASN'T SURE IF SHE WANTED TO GO

ON LIVING.

HAILEY ERICKSON HAD LONG

LIVED BY THE MOTTO EAT CLEAN

TRAIN MEAN BUT IT EVENTUALLY

TOOK OVER HER LIFE WHERE IT WAS

TRULY MENTALLY ENSLAVING.

HAILEY HAD NEVER BEEN HAPPY

WITH HER BODY OR HER WEIGHT

SOMETHING SHE PICKED UP FROM

HER MOM.

I SAW MY MOM ALWAYS DIETING

TALKING ABOUT WHAT HER BODY

LOOKED LIKE AND NEEDING TO

CHANGE HER BODY.

AND SO I KNOW AS A YOUNG GIRL

LIKE REALLY LOOKING UP TO MY

MOM.

I REALLY THOUGHT THAT LIKE WELL

I MUST NEED LOOK A CERTAIN WAY

TO ALSO BE LOVED AND ACCEPTED

BY OTHERS.

SO IN HIGH SCHOOL SHE

STARTED EATING HEALTHY DIETING

AND EXERCISING.

ALTHOUGH I TRIED TO PLAY IT OFF

AS I'M JUST SUPER HEALTHY LIKE

I JUST LOVE TO EXERCISE AND I

LOVE TO EAT HEALTHY.

IN MY HEART I KNEW IS NOT

HEALTHY.

THIS IS AN OBSESSION.

MY LIFE WAS TOTALLY REVOLVED

FOOD AND EXERCISE AND WHAT MY

BODY LOOKED LIKE.

EVERY TIME I LOOKED AT MYSELF

IN THE MIRROR THAT WAS ALWAYS

SOMETHING THAT NEEDED TO BE

BETTER WHETHER IT WAS FIXING MY

BODY OR SOMETHING ABOUT MY FACE

IT WAS NEVER GOOD ENOUGH.

ALTHOUGH SHE WAS CONSIDERED

UNDERWEIGHT SHE WAS HEALTHY FOR

THE MOST PART THEN HER YEAR IN

COLLEGE.

HAILEY OVERHEARD SOME OF HER

SORORITY SISTERS TALKING ABOUT

GOING TO THE BEACH FOR SPRING

BREAK AND NEEDING TO LOSE

WEIGHT.

THAT SEED WAS PLANTED OF OH

YEAH I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT TOO

AND I KNOW SUBCONSCIOUSLY IT

WAS I JUST TO FIT IN WITH THESE

GIRLS AND BE LOVED AND ACCEPTED

AND I WASN'T EVEN GOING IT

GOING ON THE TRIP WITH THEM BUT

I JUST WANTED TO BELONG.

NOW SHE TOOK HER OBSESSION

OF NONSTOP WEIGHT TRAINING AND

COUNTING CALORIES A NEW

UNHEALTHY LEVEL.

THIS LED TO MANY PHYSICAL AND

MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.

I WOULD SAY JUST JUST VERY

LIKE LONELY AND SAD AND I JUST

FELT VERY ISOLATED AND TRULY

LIKE THE GYM WAS MY BEST FRIEND

WHICH IS REALLY SAD SAY BECAUSE

I DIDN'T HAVE THOSE SOLID

RELATIONSHIPS BUT ALSO

PHYSICALLY IT REALLY TOOK A

TOLL ON MY HEALTH ALTHOUGH.

I KEPT PUSHING PAST THE PAIN.

THEN DURING CHRISTMAS BREAK OF

HER JUNIOR YEAR HAILEY SLIPPED

ON BLACK ICE AND INJURED HER

LEG.

IT WASN'T BROKEN BUT DOCTORS

TOLD HER SHE COULDN'T EXERCISE

FOR WEEKS.

THE NOW 20 YEAR OLD BECAME

DESPERATE AND.

I BEGGED GOD TO PLEASE SHOW ME

THE PURPOSE OF MY LIFE BECAUSE

EVERYTHING I WAS LIVING FOR WAS

GONE AND DIDN'T KNOW WHY I WAS

HERE, WHAT THE PURPOSE OF MY

LIFE WAS AND I HONESTLY WASN'T

SURE IF I WANTED TO LIVE

ANYMORE LIKE THAT'S HOW DARK IT

WAS.

IT WAS EVERYTHING I HAD

BUILT MY LIFE ON WAS GONE.

WEEKS LATER, AS SOON AS THE

PAIN SUBSIDED, HAILEY BACK IN

THE GYM.

THIS TIME SHE MET THEN 85 YEAR

OLD MARY JANE.

THE TWO HEADED OFF AND MARY

JANE INVITED HAILEY TO HER HOME

THE NEXT DAY.

WHEN THE CONVERSATION TURNED

TO FAMILIES, HAILEY SHARED A

PICTURE OF HERS EXPLAINING SHE

GREW UP IN A CHRISTIAN HOME.

SHE DIDN'T KNOW HER NEW FRIEND

WAS ALSO A FOLLOWER OF JESUS.

I ASKED HER ARE YOU A

CHRISTIAN?

AND THEN SHE CRIED AND I KNEW

THAT SOMETHING WAS MISSING AND

I THOUGHT IS WHY SHE'S HERE.

TILL THEN HAILEY CONSIDERED

HERSELF TO BE A CHRISTIAN AND

RIGHT AND THERE I HEARD THE

HOLY SPIRIT A VERY CLEAR

CONVICTION ALMOST AS IF IT WAS

AN AUDIBLE VOICE LIKE THE LORD

JUST SAY YOU BECAUSE HERE I WAS

CLAIMING TO BEING A FOLLOWER OF

CHRIST BECAUSE I HAD GONE TO

CHURCH WHEN I WAS YOUNGER

OCCASIONALLY.

I WENT TO CHRISTIAN CAMP IN MY

YOUTH YEARS AND I THOUGHT

THAT'S WHAT MADE ME A

CHRISTIAN.

BUT I DEFINITELY DID KNOW

JESUS, MARY JANE EXPLAINED

GOD'S PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH

CHRIST.

JOHN THREE 16 FOR GOD SO LOVED

THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY

BEGOTTEN SON THAT IF YOU

BELIEVE IN HIM YOU WILL NOT

PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING.

AND I PUT HER NAME IN IT FOR

GOD SO LOVED HAILEY THAT HE

GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON THAT

IF HAILEY BELIEVES IN HIM

HAILEY SHALL NOT PERISH BUT

HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.

HAILEY ACCEPTED CHRIST INTO

HER LIFE THAT DAY AND BEGAN TO

GROW IN HER FAITH.

HOWEVER, SHE WOULD CONTINUE TO

OBSESS OVER HER BODY IMAGE FOR

ANOTHER YEARS.

THEN AT 24 YEARS OLD SHE

COMPLETELY SURRENDERED IT TO

JESUS LORD LIKE I DON'T WANT

ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS

ANYMORE.

LIKE I JUST ASKED FOR YOUR

HEALING AND THAT YOU WOULD SHOW

ME WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO EAT IN

A THAT IS GLORIFYING TO YOU

FINALLY SURRENDERING THE FOOD

CONTROLLING FOOD AND EXERCISE

AND REALLY JUST LETTING GOD

WALK ME THROUGH THIS HEALING

JOURNEY.

THE LORD LED ME TO REALLY CLING

TO TRUTH INSTEAD OF WHAT I

THOUGHT WAS MY IDENTITY AND

WHAT MADE ME WORTHY.

NOW A NUTRITION COACH,

PERSONAL TRAINER AND PUBLIC

SPEAKER HAILEY'S STILL LIKES TO

STAY FIT BUT SHE SAYS SHE NOW

SEES HERSELF THROUGH GOD'S

EYES.

THE LORD REALLY HELPED ME

RENEW MY MIND WITH SEEING WHO

HE SAYS I AM INSTEAD OF WHAT

THIS WORLD OR WHAT I THOUGHT

MADE ME WORTHY AND JUST SEEING

THE TRUTH OF MY IDENTITY.

CHRIST.

WHAT AN HONEST AND

VULNERABLE STORY ISN'T IT.

YOU KNOW, TWO THINGS JUST

STRUCK ME IMMEDIATELY AFTER

SEEING AND HEARING WHAT HAILEY

HAD TO SAY AND ONE WAS HOW EASY

IT IS FOR US TO SAY WE'RE

CHRISTIAN WITHOUT LIVING THE

LIFE THAT GOD INTENDED US TO

LIVE TO HAVE TO BE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT DOING

THINGS IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT

GOING TO CHURCH.

YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY IT'S

ABOUT RELATIONSHIP.

AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW JESUS

WHAT DOES SHE MEAN WHEN SHE

SAYS THAT SHE MEANS YOU KNOW

THE WORD CHRISTIAN HAS THE NAME

CHRIST IN IT BUT IF YOU'RE NOT

RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, IF

YOU'RE NOT TALKING WITH HIM,

AWARE OF HIS PRESENCE EVERY

DAY, IF YOU'RE NOT

UNDERSTANDING THE PRICE HE PAID

FOR YOU BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT

LOVE FOR YOU, YOU'RE NOT A

CHRISTIAN.

YOU KNOW WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND

THAT A CHRISTIAN, A DISCIPLE, A

FOLLOWER OF JESUS WE'RE

FOLLOWING AFTER TO RECEIVE THE

FORGIVENESS HE'S OFFERED US AND

TO LET HIM CHANGE LIVES AND TO

LET HIM GIVE US EXACTLY WHAT

SHE WAS FOR.

SO MY PURPOSE WHY AM I HERE?

YOU KNOW WE ALL HAVE THAT

QUESTION AT SOME POINT IN OUR

LIVES I THE OTHER THING I SEE

IN HAILEY'S LIFE HOW EASY IT IS

FOR US EVEN WHEN WE ARE AFTER

JESUS TO GET CAUGHT UP IN

SOMETHING THAT CAN BECOME AN

IDOL IN OUR LIVES.

YOU KNOW THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED

TO HER WITH FOOD, WITH

CALORIES, WITH HER WORKING OUT

THE IDOL BECAME PERFECTION.

THE IDOL BECAME HAVING A BODY

THAT WAS ADMIRED BY OTHERS SO

SHE WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE.

YOU KNOW WE DON'T HAVE TO DO

THINGS OR APPROVE THINGS TO

ACQUIRE FRIENDSHIP OR

RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER PEOPLE

EITHER.

YOU KNOW THAT BECAUSE WE CARE

BECAUSE WE OPEN OUR HEARTS

BECAUSE WE SHARE JUST THE SAME

WAY THAT WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP

WITH CHRIST.

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THERE'S AN

IDOL IN YOUR LIFE OR NOT.

YOU KNOW IT CAN BE MANY THINGS.

I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS YOUNG

PERSON WHO HAS AN IDOL WITH

BEING SUCCESSFUL WITH HOW MUCH

MONEY HE MAKES A YEAR WITH, HOW

MANY JOBS HE HAS, HOW PEOPLE

PERCEIVE HIM.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE KEPT BOUND UP

IN THAT AND PRETTY SOON IT

DEFINES WHO YOU ARE AND YOU'RE

NOT WHO GOD CREATED YOU TO BE

ANYMORE.

THERE'S NO FREEDOM IN IT.

YOU'RE ACTUALLY STUCK IN IT.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO,

HAILEY.

SHE GOT STUCK ON THE DEFINITION

OF HER OWN SUCCESS IDOLS CAN BE

MANY, MANY THINGS BUT THE BIBLE

SAYS THAT GOD WILL NOT HAVE AN

IDOL IN PLACE OF HIM.

HE'S JEALOUS FOR YOUR LOVE IN A

GOOD.

HE WANTS ALL OF YOU.

ALL OF ME BECAUSE HE WANTS TO

BE ALL TO US.

IF YOU'VE NEVER INVITED JESUS

CHRIST INTO THE CORE OF YOUR

THE CORE OF YOUR LIFE SAYING

WHAT IT TOOK IT TOOK HER THREE

YEARS TO REALLY GET TO THE

PLACE EVEN AFTER TRUTH OF

SAYING OKAY, GOD, I'M WAVING

THE WHITE FLAG I SURRENDER.

I'M GIVING IT ALL TO YOU.

THAT'S NOT AN EASY THING TO DO

BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE THE

FUTURE.

GOD REVEALS HIS PLANS ONE DAY

AT A TIME, ONE PURPOSE AT A

TIME.

BUT WHEN YOU WALK WITH HIM IT'S

ALL GOOD IT'S ALL AS IT WAS

MEANT TO BE AND IN YOUR IS THAT

PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDER

STANDING.

IF YOU'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED

THAT PRAY TOGETHER RIGHT NOW

WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO

IDENTIFY WHATEVER THE IDOL IN

YOUR LIFE MIGHT BE?

THINK ABOUT IT FOR A MOMENT.

BEFORE WE KNOW JESUS WE HAVE

THEM.

HE WANTS TO HELP YOU BE FREE

FROM THAT.

LET'S PRAY.

JESUS, YOU SAID YOU CAME TO SET

THE CAPTIVES FREE SOME TIME AS

LORD WE ARE CAPTIVE TO THINGS

OF OUR OWN MAKING OUR OWN

DOING, OUR OWN DETERMINATION.

WE WANT TO BE FREE MORE THAN WE

WANT TO BE FREE.

WE WANT TO KNOW YOU IN YOU

THERE IS FREEDOM IN YOU THERE

IS LIGHT IN YOU THE DARKNESS

MUST FLEE AND SO TODAY WE ARE

COMING TO YOU SAYING JESUS BE

THE LORD OF MY LIFE BE THE

SAVIOR OF MY SOUL.

WOULD YOU FORGIVE MY SINS YOU.

WOULD YOU ELIMINATE THE IDOLS

IN MY LIFE HELP ILLUMINATE THEM

FIRST SO I CAN SEE THEM AND

IDENTIFY AND THEN I GIVE THEM

TO YOU.

I'M JUST SURRENDERING THEM

TO YOU RIGHT NOW WOULD YOU TAKE

THEM AWAY?

WOULD YOU GIVE ME THE FREEDOM

YOU CREATED ME TO HAVE AND OH

GOD YOU BECOME THE CENTER OF MY

LIFE.

I TO KNOW YOU.

I WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU

CREATED ME FOR WANT TO WALK IN

YOUR PATHS, KNOW YOUR WAYS,

THINK YOUR THOUGHTS AS I OPEN

YOUR WORD AND READ THE BIBLE

WITH THE NEW AND A REFRESHED

MIND WHEN YOU OPEN UP TRUTH TO

ME WOULD YOU SPEAK TO ME?

RESULTS OF HER PRENATAL

SCREENING KNEW EXACTLY WHAT IT

MEANT HER CHILD WASN'T GOING TO

MAKE IT.

DEVASTATED SARAH CRIED OUT TO

GOD HELP AND THAT'S WHEN SHE

HEARD THE AUDIBLE VOICE OF HER

UNBORN BABY.

WE DID ALL THOSE TESTS THE

PREVIOUS TWO SO WE FELT LIKE

OUR ODDS OF THAT EVER HAPPENING

TO US WERE PRETTY MUCH

NONEXISTENT.

WILL AND SARAH MORRISON HAD

BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS

DAY IN NOVEMBER 2017.

SARAH, 38 YEARS OLD AND TEN

WEEKS PREGNANT WAS GETTING THE

RESULTS HER PRENATAL SCREENING.

HAVING HAD TWO HEALTHY

CHILDREN, THE COUPLE EXPECTED A

GOOD REPORT AND ALSO FIND OUT

IF THEIR NEW ADDITION WAS A BOY

OR A GIRL.

I JUST WAS WAITING AT THE

PHONE TO GET THAT CALL AND SURE

ENOUGH GOT THE CALL AND MY

DOCTOR SAID RIGHT AWAY, SARAH,

I NEED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT

YOUR BABY TESTED POSITIVE FOR

18.

AND RIGHT AWAY I KNEW WHAT THAT

MEANT.

THAT WAS IT.

BASICALLY MY CHILD WAS GOING TO

MAKE IT.

ALSO KNOWN AS EDWARDS SYNDROME

TRISOMY 18 IS A BIRTH DISORDER

IN WHICH BABIES CARRY AN EXTRA

CHROMOSOME.

18 OF THOSE WHO DO LIVE FULL

TERM 90 TO 95% DON'T SURVIVE

THE FIRST YEAR LIKE OH MY GOSH,

I'M TO I'M GOING TO LOSE THIS A

CHILD.

HOW WILL I EVER BE THE SAME?

HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO TELL MY

OTHER CHILDREN AND HOW WILL

THIS AFFECT US?

BEFORE HANGING UP THERE WAS

STILL ONE THING SARAH NEEDED TO

KNOW.

I WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT DID IT SAY THAT WILL AND I

ARE HAVING OR HAVING A BOY OR

GIRL AND SHE SAID A GIRL SARAH.

LATER THAT DAY THE COUPLE

MET WITH SARAH'S DOCTOR.

IT WAS A SHOCK.

THAT'S ALL.

I REMEMBER THAT MOMENT BY

LEARNING THAT INFORMATION AND

LEARNING WHAT IT WAS AND

PREPARING OURSELVES MENTALLY

FOR WHAT COULD LIE AHEAD.

IT WAS JUST A BLUR AND JUST A

SHOCK.

WILL AND SARAH WERE ALREADY

FAMILIAR WITH EDWARDS SYNDROME

.

EACH HAD FRIENDS WHOSE BABIES

HAD THE DISORDER.

ONE DIED IN THE.

THE OTHER HAD NUMEROUS

CHALLENGES.

SO I THINK MY BIGGEST FEAR WAS

THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE THAT

FAMILY THAT HAS TO LIVE WITH

THIS SITUATION WHERE WE'VE GOT

TWO HEALTHY KIDS WE'RE TRYING

TO RAISE BUT THIS THIRD CHILD

THAT TO REQUIRING EVERY OUNCE

OF OUR TIME AND ENERGY JUST TO

KEEP YOU KNOW, KEEP THEM ALIVE

AND WHAT'S THAT GOING TO DO TO

OUR OTHER CHILDREN.

AT THE DOCTORS ADVICE SCHEDULED

SARAH FOR AN AMNIOCENTESIS TO

VERIFY THE DIAGNOSIS AND HELP

THEM MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION

ABOUT WHETHER TO TERMINATE THE

PREGNANCY.

WHILE ABORTION AN OPTION THE

COUPLE WASN'T SURE THEY HAD THE

FAITH TURN IT OVER TO GOD AND

TRUST HIM FOR THE OUTCOME.

AT HOME THE NEXT DAY SARAH

POURED HER HEART OUT TO GOD.

JUST CRYING OUT TO HIM SAYING I

NEED A WORD LORD AS TO WHAT

WE'RE SUPPOSED DO, SARAH SAYS.

AT THAT MOMENT GOD SPOKE TO HER

THROUGH THE VOICE OF HER UNBORN

DAUGHTER AND THEN RIGHT THEN IT

WAS LIKE SO CLEAR A FEELING HER

VOICE SAY LIKE MOMMY TELL THEM

TO LEAVE ME ALONE.

I'M JUST FINE.

LATER WHEN CAME HOME FROM WORK

SHE WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I GOT

HOME IT WAS THE FIRST THING SHE

SAID TO ME THAT WE'RE GOING TO

ACT LIKE WE'RE NOT DOING THE

AMAZON TEASES.

AND I JUST SAID GOD TOLD ME THE

SAME THING.

WE'RE NOT.

AND WE JUST HAD SO MUCH PEACE

AFTER THAT SARAH CANCELED THE

APPOINTMENT.

THEY EVEN THEIR DAUGHTER A

NAME LAVELY RING.

BUT NOW THEY WOULDN'T KNOW

WHETHER THE BABY HAD THE

DISORDER UNTIL SHE WAS BORN.

IF SHE LIVED THAT LONG FOR THE

NEXT THREE WEEKS THE COUPLE AND

THEIR FAMILY PRAYED AS SARAH

GETTING CHECKUPS AND NUMEROUS

ULTRASOUNDS.

FINALLY THE DAY CAME.

ON JULY 24TH, 2018, LIVELY WAS

DELIVERED BY C-SECTION WITH NO

SIGN EDWARDS SYNDROME.

IN THE WORDS OF SARAH'S

OBSTETRICIAN THE BABY WAS

PERFECT.

SUCH A GREAT MOMENT BECAUSE

.

I JUST KNEW THAT THE LORD HAD

TOLD ME THIS WAS GOING TO BE

THE OUTCOME.

JUST SAW THIS BEAUTIFUL TINY

LITTLE BABY AND I SAW TEN

FINGERS, TEN TOES AND I JUST

PUT BACK TO SARAH AND I WAS

LIKE SHE LOOKS GREAT, YOU KNOW

.

GOD GAVE ME A MIRACLE.

HE SAVED FINALLY THIS IS LIVELY

RAINE AT FIVE YEARS OLD HEALTHY

IN EVERY WAY.

THROUGH THE POWER OF PRAYER.

I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE BLESSINGS

THAT WE'VE RECEIVED FROM THE

LORD AND I JUST LIVE IN THAT

GOD SHOWS UP FOR YOU AND IF I

COULD TELL ANY PARENT OUT THERE

TO JUST LET GOD HAVE THE FINAL

SAY.

GATHER YOUR INFORMATION AND

TAKE IT TO HIM LAID AT HIS FEET

AND EXPECT TO HEAR HIM.

I LOVE.

EXPECT TO HEAR HIM WHEN YOU

PRAY PRAY EXPECT INTENTLY.

GOD HAS GIVEN US SO MANY

PROMISES SO MANY WORDS OF

ENCOURAGEMENT IN HIS WORD AND

THEN HE'S WITH US EVERY DAY AND

HE DOES SPEAK IN THOSE MOMENTS

TO OUR HEARTS JUST LIKE HE DID

TO SARAH AS SHE WAS BESEECHING

HIM.

SOME YOU TODAY HAVE THINGS THAT

YOU'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR FOR A

LONG TIME AND YOU'RE LONGING TO

HEAR FROM GOD.

LET'S PRAY EXPECTANTLY TOGETHER

FOR YOU TODAY.

LET'S PRAY THAT GOD WILL

RESPOND IN A WAY THAT WILL GIVE

YOU THAT INNER PEACE, THAT WILL

GIVE YOU THAT WORD OF KNOWLEDGE

THAT WILL HELP TO SAY YES TO

HEALING FROM THE LORD WHATEVER

YOUR REQUEST MIGHT BE.

WE'VE GOT LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO

HAVE WRITTEN ASKING OR TELLING

US WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR THEM.

THIS IS HE LIVES IN WADENA,

MINNESOTA.

FOR YEARS HE WRESTLED WITH HIGH

BLOOD PRESSURE.

ONE DAY HE WAS TAKEN TO THE

E.R. WITH A READING OF 220 OVER

125 WHILE ANOTHER HIS BLOOD

PRESSURE SPIKED TO 200 OVER 98

AND HE WAS SENT BACK TO THE

E.R. LATER AT HOME RATTLED TO

TURN ON THE 700 CLUB.

GORDON HE HEARD YOU SAY THERE'S

SOMEONE YOU'RE SUFFERING FROM

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

HYPERTENSION HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED

OVER YOU.

GOD IS ABLE TO RELEASE ALL OF

THAT AND RELAX EVERY VEIN,

EVERY ARTERY AND BRING YOUR

BLOOD PRESSURE BACK INTO NORMAL

RANGE.

BE HEALED NOW IN JESUS NAME BY

FAITH BELIEVED GOD FOR HIS

HEALING.

HIS BLOOD PRESSURE HAS COME

DOWN TO NORM RANGE AND IS

STAYING DOWN CONSISTENTLY TO

GOD BE THE GLORY.

IT'S WONDERFUL HIS WILLIAM

FROM FROM OKLAHOMA.

HE HAD AN AIR CONDITIONED

HIS LEFT EAR WAS ALL STOPPED

UP.

HE CAN HEAR UNUSUAL AND UNUSUAL

SOUND CLUNKING OR PLOPPING.

IT WAS EXTREMELY TROUBLESOME.

AFTER ABOUT FIVE WEEKS OF THIS

HE WAS WATCHING 700 CLUB.

HE HEARD TERRY SAY A WORD OF

KNOWLEDGE DESCRIBING HIS

CONDITION CONDITION TO A TEE.

HE CLAIMED IT BY IN THE NAME OF

JESUS AND HIS EAR OPENED

IMMEDIATELY.

YOU HAVE SEEN SOME MIRACLES

YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT MIRACLES AND

YOU'RE GOING CAN THAT HAPPEN TO

ME?

AND THE ANSWER IS ABSOLUTELY.

YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD IN THAT

WONDERFUL YOU WERE CREATED BY

HIM.

HE BREATHED INTO BEING HE

SPOKE AND YOU CAME TO BE.

BEFORE HE LAID THE FOUNDATION

OF THE WORLD HE THOUGHT ABOUT

YOU.

NOW SOME PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE

BELIEVING THAT GOD CAN SPEAK

DIRECTLY TO THEM THAT SOMEHOW

THEY'RE NOT HOLY ENOUGH OR THEY

HAVEN'T DONE ENOUGH GOOD THINGS

ALL OF THIS STUFF OR MAYBE

THEY'RE THERE UNDER SOME KIND

OF DOCTRINE ALL THAT ALL OF
