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?

SWELLING IN HER NECK.
BY THE TIME SHE WAS THREE IT
HAD NOT STOPPED GROWING.
WE TOOK TO MANY HOSPITALS.
THEY SAID THE SWELLING IN
THIS GLAND COULD KILL HER IF IT
WASN'T REMOVED.
IT HURTS HER AND, MAKES HER
CRY.
AND THEY SAID EVENTUALLY IT
COULD SWELL SO THAT SHE WOULD
SUFFOCATE AND DIE.
MY HUSBAND AND I ARE SO WORRIED
BUT WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY
FOR SURGERY.
KINNOCK'S MOTHER HAD TO TAKE
CARE OF HER AROUND THE CLOCK SO
SHE COULDN'T WORK IN THE
FIELDS.
SHE TOOK KINNOCK OUT OF SCHOOL
AND FEARED WOULD GET HURT EVERY
TIME SHE SAW HER PLAYING.
IT EVEN HURT FOR HER TO EAT OR
DRINK.
I LOVE HER SO.
SHE IS MY LITTLE PRINCESS
BUT I CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO
HELP HER.
WHEN PARENTS HEARD ABOUT
OPERATION BLESSING'S LIFE

REACHED OUT TO US.
OPERATION BLESSING PAID FOR HER
SURGERY.
I AM SO HAPPY AND RELIEVED

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
THIS STUFF STOPPED AND GOD
ISN'T SPEAKING PEOPLE ANYMORE.

ALONE IN THAT WONDERFUL IN THAT
WONDERFUL GOD IS ABLE TO DO ALL
THINGS.
