REALLY PLAYING FOR WELL WELCOME

THE 700 CLUB.

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PLAN FOR THE

US TAKE OVER GAZA QUICKLY

SPARKED REACTION FROM AROUND

THE WORLD AND THE DEBATE IS

ONLY BEGINNING.

MUCH OF THE MIDDLE EAST

OPPOSES THE IDEA.

WHILE MANY LEADERS IN ISRAEL

AND THE UNITED STATES SAY IT'S

TIME TO TRY SOMETHING NEW.

CHRIS MITCHELL BRINGS US THE

STORY FROM JERUSALEM DEFENSE

SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH

SUPPORTING THE PLAN SPEAKING AT

THE PENTAGON ALONGSIDE ISRAELI

PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN AS THE

PRESIDENT AND PRIME MINISTER

POINTED OUT LAST PRESIDENT IS

WILLING TO THINK OUTSIDE THE

BOX, LOOK FOR NEW AND UNIQUE

DYNAMIC WAYS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS

HAVE FELT LIKE THEY'RE

INTRACTABLE.

NETANYAHU IS ALSO DEFENDING

THE PROPOSAL HIGHLIGHTING WHAT

HE SEES AS ITS BENEFITS.

BUT THE ACTUAL IDEA OF

ALLOWING FIRST GAZANS WHO WANT

TO LEAVE TO LEAVE.

I MEAN WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

THEY CAN LEAVE.

THEY CAN THEN COME BACK.

THEY CAN RELOCATE AND COME

BACK.

IT'S A REMARKABLE IDEA AND I

THINK IT SHOULD BE REALLY

PURSUED.

HOWEVER, MANY PALESTINIANS

STRONGLY REJECT THE IDEA.

WHEN WE TELL TRUMP THAT WE WILL

NOT LEAVE GAZA OR AN INCH OF IT

AND WE WILL NOT SELL OUR

HOMELAND, WE WILL REMAIN

STEADFAST AND I MUST SAY I AM

NOT LEAVING NEITHER ME NOR MY

CHILDREN FAMILY DAUGHTERS OR

ALL MY PEOPLE.

IF WE ARE GOING TO DIE THEN WE

WILL DIE ON OUR SAND.

IF THEY WANT TO HIT US WITH

MISSILES OR TARGET US WITH

AIRSTRIKES WE ARE STILL NOT

LEAVING HERE.

DESPITE THE STRONG

OPPOSITION, POLLING DATA

SUGGESTS THAT MANY YOUNG GAZANS

HAVE CONSIDERED LEAVING EVEN

BEFORE THE WAR.

A POLL BY THE PALESTINIANS FOR

POLICY AND SURVEY RESEARCH

FOUND BEFORE OCTOBER THAT 44%

OF YOUNG GIRLS AND MEN WANTED

EMIGRATE WHILE 31% OF ALL

GAZANS WANTED LEAVE.

SOME BELIEVE THAT AFTER THE

DEVASTATION OF 16 MONTHS OF WAR

AND FACING YEARS OF LIVING IN

TENTS AMID THE RUBBLE, THOSE

NUMBERS WILL INCREASE

DRAMATICALLY.

ISRAELI FOREIGN MINISTER GIDEON

SA'AR ARGUES GAZANS HAVE A

CHOICE.

CALL KHALED.

AS LONG AS MIGRATION HAPPENS BY

AN INDIVIDUAL'S FREE WILL

REGARDLESS OF THE LOCATION IN

THE WORLD AND, AS LONG AS THERE

IS A COUNTRY WILLING TO ACCEPT

THAT PERSON.

CAN ANYONE CLAIM IT IS IMMORAL?

HISTORIAN AND FORMER ISRAELI

AMBASSADOR TO THE U.S. MICHAEL

OREN WROTE THAT TRUMP'S

PROPOSAL IS THE RULES OF THE

MIDDLE EAST EVEN IF TRUMP'S

VISION NEVER.

HE HAS FUNDAMENTALLY AND

IRREVERSIBLY CHANGED BY

UPENDING LONG HELD ASSUMPTIONS

AND INTRODUCING RADICAL NEW

IDEAS.

HE HAS OPENED THE DOOR TO

CREATIVE DIPLOMACY AND THE

POSSIBILITY OF A MORE STABLE

AND PERHAPS EVEN PEACEFUL

MIDDLE EAST.

THAT CONVERSATION IS FAR

FROM OVER.

NEXT WEEK THE LEADER OF ONE OF

THE COUNTRIES WHO HAS REJECTED

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S

RECOMMENDATION TO TAKE IN

PALESTINIAN REFUGEES.

JORDAN'S KING ABDULLAH, THE

WHITE HOUSE AND BEYOND THAT

MORE HIGH LEVEL DISCUSSIONS

REGIONAL LEADERS ARE ALREADY ON

THE HORIZON.

CHRIS MITCHELL CBN NEWS,

JERUSALEM.

WELL, IT'S A FASCINATING NEW

CONCEPT LET'S TRY TO TRANSFORM

GAZA INTO THAT COULD BE A SHOW

SHOWPLACE.

I REMEMBER BEIRUT BACK IN THE

1960S I VISITED THAT CITY 1969

AND IT WAS CALLED THE JEWEL OF

THE MEDITERRANEAN.

IT HAD AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF

FRENCH INFLUENCE AND THEY THEY

THEY WERE A SHINING CITY AND

ALL THE RELIGIONS GOT ALONG AND

PARTICIPATED IN GOVERNMENT

WHETHER WERE JEWISH OR MUSLIM

OR CHRISTIAN OR NONE OF THE

ABOVE.

YOU HAD A VOICE AND YOU WERE

RESPECTED AS LONG HAMAS IS IN

CHARGE OF GAZA YOU'RE NEVER

EVER GOING TO SEE THAT.

AND WHAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING

THE PARTICULARLY THE YOUNG MEN

IN GAZA ARE GOING THERE'S

FUTURE HERE.

THE ONLY FUTURE FOR ME IS TO

BECOME SOME KIND OF SUICIDE

BOMBER OR SOME KIND OF HAMAS

SOLDIER AND I DON'T WANT TO

JOIN THAT ISLAMIC DEATH CULT.

I DON'T WANT TO BE A PART OF

IT.

BUT IF THEY EVER VOICE THAT

THEY KILLED.

THAT'S HOW HAMAS DEALS WITH

POLITICAL OPPOSITION.

SO AS LONG AS THEY'RE IN

CHARGE, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE

THIS.

BUT WHAT A WONDERFUL CONCEPT

AND IN THAT CONCEPT I'VE GOT TO

POINT OUT WHAT COULD BE A FATAL

FLAW IF YOU LET PEOPLE WHO WANT

TO LEAVE WHO WANT TO HAVE

FREEDOM, WHO WANT TO HAVE FOR

THEMSELVES AND THEIR CHILDREN

AND THEIR GRANDCHILDREN IF THEY

HAVE A MASS EXODUS, WHAT IS

LEFT IS THE IDEOLOGUES AND YOU

CAN'T BUILD A JEWEL ON THE

MEDITERRANEAN WITH THAT KIND OF

POPULATION THEY'RE CONSTANTLY

GOING TO BE FOMENTING AND

PLANNING TO ATTACK ISRAEL.

THAT'S IN BASIC IDEOLOGY IN THE

CHARTER OF HAMAS IS TO WIPE

ISRAEL OFF THE MAP AND THAT'S

THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM HERE IS

THE PALESTINIANS HAVE NEVER

ISRAEL GOING ALL THE WAY BACK

TO THE SAN REMO CONFERENCE THE

BRITISH MANDATE TO CREATE TWO

STATES THE U.N. ACTION IN 1948.

THEY HAVE NEVER ACCEPTED ISRAEL

AND THEY'VE ALWAYS SAID THEY

WERE GOING TO DRIVE THEM INTO

SEA.

THAT IS FUNDAMENTAL TO THEIR

CONCEPT OF THEMSELVES AS

INDIVIDUALS AND UNTIL THAT

CONCEPT CHANGES WE AREN'T GOING

TO SEE PEACE.

WELL, CHINA CONTINUES TO

EXPAND ITS GLOBAL INFLUENCE

ESPECIALLY CONTROL OF KEY

SHIPPING PORTS.

BEIJING'S AGENDA IS TO USE

ECONOMIC, MILITARY AND

INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS TO

OVERTAKE THE UNITED STATES AS

THE WORLD'S LEADING SUPERPOWER

.

GEORGE THOMAS BRINGS US TWO

KEY EXAMPLES FROM BRAZIL AND

KENYA CHINA WANTS TO DOMINATE

THE HIGH SEAS AND SO FAR IT'S

SUCCEEDING.

SEVEN OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST

SHIPPING PORTS ARE IN CHINA

WITH THE PORT OF SHANGHAI THE

LIST.

IT'S THE PORTS OUTSIDE OF THE

COUNTRY'S BORDERS THOUGH THAT

RETIRED REAR ADMIRAL MARK

MONTGOMERY TELLS CBS

NEWS CONCERNS WASHINGTON AND

ITS ALLIES.

THE MOST CHINA'S PRIMARY GOAL

IS ACCESS ACCESS FOR RESOURCE

EXTRACTION.

ACCESS FOR FUTURE OPERATIONS.

BUT THAT ACCESS HAS THE LONG

TERM GOAL OF CHINA DISPLACING

THE UNITED STATES AS THE

ECONOMIC PARTNER OF CHOICE

GLOBALLY.

THESE RED DOTS SHOW CHINA'S

GROWING NETWORK OF PORTS

SPANNING EACH OCEAN AND

CONTINENT CHINESE COMPANIES

MOST OWNED BY THE COMMUNIST

GOVERNMENT HAVE SPENT BILLIONS

BUILDING 129 PORTS IN MORE THAN

50 COUNTRIES.

MANY VITAL AND STRATEGIC

SHIPPING LANES.

MOST OF THE STUFF YOU BUY

CROSSES THE WORLD BY SEA.

BUT SHIPPING CONTAINERS

DON'T JUST HOLD GOODS THEY HOLD

SOMETHING ELSE TO POWER.

AND CHINA IS ALL IN PERU'S

CHIANG KAI PORT IS BEIJING'S

LATEST MEGA PORT PROJECT

INAUGURATED IN NOVEMBER BY

PRESIDENT XI JINPING.

THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT

DEVELOPMENT A SIGNIFICANT WIN

FRANKLY FOR THE CHINESE

COMMUNIST PARTY IN LATIN

AMERICA IN OUR AMERICAN

NEIGHBORHOOD.

AT A COST OF NEARLY $4

BILLION, CHINA'S STATE OWNED

COSCO SHIPPING CONTROLS 60% OF

THE PORT AND STATES IT WILL

REDUCE TIME BETWEEN CHINA AND

SOUTH AMERICA BY TEN DAYS.

IT'S GOING TO BECOME THE

SHIPPING HUB BETWEEN CHINA AND

SOUTH AMERICA.

THIS IS CRUCIAL FOR CHINA

BECAUSE CHINA'S ONLY HOPE RIGHT

NOW TO RESCUE ITS GRIM

SITUATION AT HOME ON THE

ECONOMY IS TO EXPORT MORE.

THEY REALIZE THEY'RE BEING

SHUT OUT OF DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE

LIKE THE US CANADA AND AS WELL

THE EUROPEAN UNION.

SO THEY NEED WHAT THEY CALL

THE GLOBAL SOUTH TODAY.

CHINA IS SOUTH AMERICA'S

LARGEST TRADING PARTNER

HERE IN BRAZIL THE MOST

POPULOUS AND IN THE REGION

TRADE WITH BEIJING SURPASSES

THE UNITED STATES BY A RATIO OF

2 TO 1.

BOWMAN SENIOR DIRECTOR OF THE

CENTER ON MILITARY AND

POLITICAL POWER THE FOUNDATION

FOR DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACIES,

SAYS THAT AMERICA DANGEROUSLY

LOSING INFLUENCE IN ITS OWN

BACKYARD WITH COUNTRIES

HISTORICALLY ALIGNED WITH

WASHINGTON IN MANY RESPECTS

WERE JUST GETTING OUTHUSTLED BY

THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY.

TAKING OUR POSITION FOR

GRANTED.

AND MY READ OF HISTORY TELLS

THAT IF YOU TAKE WHAT YOU HAVE

FOR GRANTED AND YOU DON'T

COMPETE AND YOU DON'T DEFEND IT

THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE IT.

MILITARY EXPERTS EXPRESS

CONCERNS THAT CHINA'S

AGGRESSIVE OWNERSHIP OF THESE

INTERNATIONAL PORTS MIGHT ALLOW

IT TO GAIN MILITARY LEVERAGE

SUCH AS EVENTUALLY CHINESE

NAVAL ASSETS.

SO IS A PORT DUAL USE.

OF COURSE IT IS RIGHT BECAUSE

THIS MASSIVE NEW PORT IN PERU

MIGHT BE SERVING LARGE

CONTAINER SHIPS TODAY BUT IT

CAN SERVICE PLAY NAVY VESSELS

TOMORROW.

MONTGOMERY SAYS PORTS

OPERATED BY COSCO SHIPPING USE

A DIGITAL SOFTWARE SYSTEM

CALLED LOGIC TO MONITOR SHIP

CARGO MOVEMENTS.

THAT SYSTEM IS ALSO GOVERNMENT

.

IF THE CHINESE RUN YOUR

INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR YOUR

PORTS THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE

UNDUE INFLUENCE OR A CRISIS OR

CASUALTY WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO

MOVE MILITARY SUPPLIES OR PARTS

AND THE CHINESE HAVE THE

ABILITY TO RAPIDLY DISRUPT YOUR

PORT OPERATING SYSTEMS.

THEY REALLY HAVE INCREDIBLE

INSIGHT INTO WORLD TRADE,

INSIGHT INTO MILITARY AND

SECURITY MOVEMENTS AND

POTENTIALLY OPPORTUNITY TO

DISRUPT THEM.

IN 2013 PRESIDENT XI

LAUNCHED CHINA'S BELT AND ROAD

INITIATIVE, ALSO KNOWN AS THE

NEW SILK ROAD STRETCHING EAST

ASIA TO EUROPE, AFRICA AND

SOUTH AMERICA.

CHINA HAS SPENT MORE THAN

$1,000,000,000,000 BUILDING

ROADS RAILWAYS, POWER GRIDS,

PORTS AND MORE ALL TO

INFLUENTIAL INTERNATIONAL

PARTNERSHIPS AS OF ITS BELT AND

ROAD INITIATIVE.

CHINA HAS ALSO BEEN SPENDING

QUITE A BIT OF MONEY ON THE

AFRICAN CONTINENT.

FOR EXAMPLE IN 2022 IT BUILT

THIS MAJOR HIGHWAY CONNECTING

THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT WITH

DOWNTOWN NAIROBI AND AFRICA

BETWEEN 2013 AND 2023.

CHINA MADE OVER $800 BILLION

WORTH OF BELT AND ROAD

INITIATIVE INVESTMENTS IN

AFRICA.

THAT'S A STAGGERING.

AS A RESULT WERE BEING RAPIDLY

DISPLACED AS THE ECONOMIC

SECURITY PARTNER OF CHOICE

WHETHER IN AFRICA, AMERICA OR

ASIA.

EXPERTS SAY IT'S CLEAR CHINA IS

ON A MISSION TO BECOME THE

WORLD'S LEADING.

CHINA SEES THE UNITED STATES

AS AN EXISTENTIAL NOT BECAUSE

OF ANYTHING THAT WE SAY OR DO

BUT BECAUSE OF WHO WE ARE.

YOU HAVE AN INSECURE REGIME

AND BEIJING IS WORRIED ABOUT

THE INSPIRATIONAL IMPACT

AMERICA'S VALUES AND FORM OF

GOVERNANCE OVER THE CHINESE

PEOPLE.

SO CHINA WANTS TO GET RID OF

THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE IT

BELIEVES THAT IT WILL NEVER BE

SAFER SECURE AS LONG AS THE

AMERICAN REPUBLIC EXISTS.

BOWMAN SAYS CHINA'S LEADERS

WANT TO ACCOMPLISH THIS WITHOUT

FIRING A SHOT.

THEY UNDERSTAND A WAR WITH

THE UNITED STATES WOULD BE VERY

COSTLY FOR THEM.

SO AS SUN SAID, MORE THAN TWO

AND A HALF MILLENNIA AGO THE

ALCHEMY OF SKILLS TO WIN

WITHOUT AND BY FIGHTING HE

MEANT BOMBS, BULLETS AND GUNS.

SO CHINA IS TRYING TO DEFEAT US

WITHOUT TO FIRE A KINETIC SHOT

BUT THEY'RE FIRING SHOTS

ALREADY THE INFORMATION

ECONOMIC AND CYBER DOMAINS THIS

PROBLEM IS THAT AMERICANS DON'T

REALIZE IT AND PREDATORS LIKE

NOTHING BETTER THAN SLUMBERING

PREY.

GEORGE THOMAS CBN NEWS FROM

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL AND

NAIROBI, KENYA.

WELL, PARTS OF ME WANT TO

ADMIRE THE STRATEGY JUST HOW

BRILLIANT IT IS THAT YOU GO

INTO A DEVELOPING A COUNTRY OR

A DEVELOPED COUNTRY AND YOU SAY

I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOUR PORT

PROBLEM.

HERE'S WHAT I'LL DO WILL LOAN

YOU BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND

THEN I WILL THAT LOAN OFF WITH

THE SHIPPING FEES THAT THE PORT

GENERATES SO THE INCOME FROM

THE NEW FACILITY WILL GO TO PAY

OFF THE DEBT AND THEN YOU'LL

HAVE A THRIVING ECONOMY WITH

EFFICIENT PORT FACILITIES THAT

YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A

BRILLIANT STRATEGY.

YOU NOT ONLY GET ACCESS BUT THE

I THINK THE KEY PIECE TO IT YOU

GET ALL THE INFORMATION OF WHAT

FLOWS THROUGH THAT PORT AND SO

YOU NOW HAVE APPS REAL TIME

DATA OF HOW THE ECONOMY IS

DOING AND WHAT IS BEING

EXPORTED AND WHAT IS BEING

IMPORTED.

YOU'LL HAVE EVERY BILL OF

LADING AND IT WILL BE AN

INCREDIBLE INFORMATION THAT

WILL DRIVE YOUR OWN ECONOMIC

DECISIONS.

SO THAT'S PART OF ME THE

PART IS THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM

THE GOVERNMENT OF CHINA AND THE

PEOPLE THERE NOT ENJOY THE

FREEDOMS THAT YOU AND I HAVE

NUMBER FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY AND

FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND, FREEDOM

OF PRESS IT JUST DOES NOT EXIST

WITHIN THAT SYSTEM.

AND AS MUCH AS THEY WANTED TO

JUST SAY TO, YOU KNOW, THE 2 TO

1 STATE BUT TWO TO SOLUTIONS

WHEN THEY TOOK OVER HONG KONG

THAT NOT COME TO PASS IN HONG

KONG AND THEY ABSOLUTELY CRACK

DOWN ON DEMOCRACY AND PUT

PEOPLE IN JAIL FOR DARING TO GO

AGAINST THEIR PLANS AND

PURPOSES AND WHAT THEY WERE

DOING IN THE MAINLAND AND WHAT

THEY WERE DOING ON THE ISLAND.

THIS NEEDS TO COME TO THE

WORLD'S ATTENTION AND

ESPECIALLY TO OUR ATTENTION WE

NEED TO BE A BEACON OF LIGHT

AND FREEDOM AND WE NEED TO

CONSTANTLY PROCLAIM THAT

LIBERTY IS THE OXYGEN OF

HUMANITY.

YOU GET SUCH A THRIVING ECONOMY

AND SUCH A THRIVING CULTURE

WHEN YOU HAVE THIS FREEDOM AND

FREEDOM IN ITS VARIOUS

WONDERFUL FORMS, LIBERTY IS THE

REASON FOR THE AMERICAN

REVOLUTION WE TALK A LOT

DEMOCRACY AND FRAMEWORKS AND

ALL OF THOSE THINGS BUT THE

WHOLE PURPOSE OF ALL OF THAT IS

SO THAT INDIVIDUALS CAN HAVE

LIBERTY THAT SPEAKS A GREAT

DEAL IN CULTURE AND HAS FOR A

VERY LONG TIME IF YOU KNOW THE

HISTORY GO BACK AND LOOK AT SUN

YAT SEN HE LED A DEMOCRATIC

REVOLUTION AND IT WAS BASED ON

THE DECLARATION INDEPENDENCE.

HE WAS A GREAT ADMIRER OF

THOMAS JEFFERSON.

HE WAS A GREAT ADMIRER OF WHAT

AMERICA STOOD FOR THE FUTURE OF

HUMANITY AND HE WANTED TO BRING

THAT TO CHINA.

HE WAS ULTIMATELY

UNSUCCESSFUL.

BUT LET'S KEEP THE FLAME

BURNING AND LET'S NOT GIVE UP

ON BECAUSE CHINA COULD BE A

GREAT NATION IF HAD THE FREEDOM

YOUR COVERAGE NEVER GOES DOWN.

CALL 840 71652.

WELL, MORE THAN 200 MILLION

PEOPLE WATCH THE SUPER BOWL

EVERY YEAR AND THERE'S ALWAYS A

LOTS OF HYPE AND THE BUILD UP

TO THE GAME.

TODAY WE'RE BRINGING YOU A

REPORT YOU WON'T SEE ANYWHERE

ELSE.

AS PLAYERS FROM BOTH TEAMS

SHARE THEIR FAITH, CBS SPORTS

REPORTER WIL DAWSON HAS THE

STORY HERE IN NEW ORLEANS, THE

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS ARE HOPING

TO MAKE HISTORY BY BECOMING THE

FIRST TEAM TO WIN THREE

CONSECUTIVE SUPER BOW

THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES STAND

IN WAY BUT IN THE MEANTIME

PLAYERS FROM BOTH TEAMS ARE

GIVING THANKS AND BOLDLY

PROCLAIMING THEIR FAITH.

WHAT DOES JESUS MEAN TO JESUS

IS THE WAY TO CHOOSE TO LIFE.

DIDN'T MEAN AND WITHOUT HIM I

WOULD BE NOTHING.

AND YOU KNOW I SUBMIT MY WAY TO

HIM AND I LET HIM REST.

WHERE IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP

WITH CHRIST RANK IN TERMS OF

YOUR PRIORITIES AND IMPORTANCE?

NUMBER ONE.

NUMBER ONE FAITH, FAMILY AND

CHAMPIONSHIPS.

THINK MY FAITH HAS ALWAYS BEEN

A PART OF ME WHILE I ALWAYS

WANTED TO ROOT MYSELF IN THAT

AND KEEP HIM IN THE SIN OF MY

LIFE AND EVERYTHING THAT I DO.

AND SO YOU KNOW, DUE TO THE

HIGHS AND THE LOWS HE'S GREATER

THAN ALL OF THEM.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I CAN

ALWAYS ACKNOWLEDGE.

AND IN THE FIELD THERE'S A

CIRCUMSTANCE I CAN ALWAYS LEAN

ON AND REMEMBER.

SO I'M HERE WITH THE NEW

SMITH AND ONE THING I LOVE

ABOUT THIS GUY.

ROMANS 116 COMES TO MIND.

I'M NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL

THAT IS YOU?

EVERY WORD THAT I'VE HEARD SO

FAR.

ALL YOU'RE DOING IS PROCLAIMING

YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST.

WHY IS THAT?

LOOK, LOU, I NEVER I HAVE NO

REASON NOT TO GIVE NAMES.

I DON'T FEEL SO TO GO IN FRONT

OF GOD AND BE LIKE GOD.

I KNOW THAT I DIDN'T LIKE GIVE

YOU ALL THE GLORY GRACE WHILE I

WAS THERE.

BUT I WAS.

BUT THERE'S NO BUT THERE

THERE'S NO BUT YOU KNOW WHAT

I'M SAYING?

SO THAT WAS MY REASON.

OH MAN.

YOU REALLY SEE WHAT'S WHAT'S

IMPORTANT.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN IN A BOOK

ECCLESIASTES A WHOLE LOT.

NOTHING OTHER THAN THE

SUFFERING GOD BECAUSE ALL THIS

IT GOES AWAY WHEN YOU STAND IN

FRONT OF HIM.

YOU KNOW WHEN THAT TIME

BUCKLE IS WHAT YOU DO.

WHAT YOU DO.

WHAT HE GAVE YOU THE

OPPORTUNITIES HE HAS PRESENTED

TO ME HAD JUST BEEN INCREDIBLE.

JUST CONTINUE TO TRUST HIM AND

TRUST IN HIS PLAN.

HE HAS FOR ME.

I KNOW THAT HE WALKS WITH ME IN

ALL THESE GAMES THAT I'VE BEEN

PLAYING IN AND.

HE HE WILL CONTINUE TO WALK

WITH ME ON SUNDAY AND THAT'S

WHERE MY REST.

THAT'S THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE

I CAN FIND REST.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR TO BE

HERE TODAY?

YEAH, IT'S HUMBLING.

IT'S JUST UNBELIEVABLE, YOU

KNOW, KIND OF EACH DAY AND

ESPECIALLY EACH GAME I JUST SAY

GOD, USE ME FOR YOUR GLORY.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN WINNING

FOOTBALL GAMES ALWAYS.

BUT JUST TO BE IN A POSITION

AND THIS PLATFORM KNOWING THAT

IT'S BY HIS GRACE AND HIS

PROVINCES AND YOU JUST KNOW

THAT HE'S HE'S TREATED ME MUCH

BETTER THAN ANYTHING I DESERVE.

I JUST TRY TO THANK GOD FOR

THE THINGS I DO HAVE HE'S GIVEN

ME SO MUCH AND YOU KNOW BEFORE

I HAD ALL STUFF YOU KNOW, I

COULD HAVE JUST BEEN LISTING

ALL THE BLESSING THAT I'VE HAD

MY LIFE.

THE PEOPLE LIKE THE FAMILY I

GREW UP WITH EVERYTHING IS JUST

A BLESSING AND I JUST TRY TO

EVERY DAY IMPROVE A LITTLE BIT

AND JUST BE A BETTER MAN IN

CHRIST.

LAST YEAR CHIEFS KICKER

HARRISON BUCKNER CAME FIRE FOR

COMMENTS HE MADE REGARDING

TRADITIONAL GENDER ROLES.

HE SAYS HIS BELIEFS ARE

INFORMED BY HIS FAITH.

WELL FAITH IN CHRIST IS THE

MOST IMPORTANT THING AND I WANT

TO SHARE THAT AND I WANT TO

SHARE A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT

I BELIEVE HAVE HELPED ME AND

HELPED MY MARRIAGE AND SOME

PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LIKE IT.

SOME PEOPLE AREN'T GOING TO

LIKE IT.

BUT I THINK THE MORE WE CAN

FEEL CONFIDENT, YOU KNOW,

SHARING OUR BELIEFS AND WHAT WE

BELIEVE IN THE BETTER OUR

SOCIETY IS GOING TO BE WHETHER

YOU AGREE OR NOT, I THINK IT'S

BETTER FOR US TO BE ABLE TO

HAVE SOME DIALOG AND AND TALK

ABOUT DIFFERENT IDEAS.

DID THAT SITUATION HELP YOU

BECOME MORE CONFIDENT IN

SHARING YOUR FAITH?

I THINK IN ORDER FOR ME TO

SHARE THAT MESSAGE I HAD TO BE

CONFIDENT.

I THINK HAD KIND OF PREPARED

ME FOR THAT FOR ANYTHING THAT

CAME MY WAY.

IT WAS LIKE YOU KNOW, I KNOW

I'M A SON OF GOD AND I'M A

HUSBAND AND I'M A FATHER BEFORE

ANYTHING ELSE.

I THINK WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON

WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT AND FOR

ME THAT'S MY WIFE, MY CHILDREN,

MY PARENTS AND OBVIOUSLY MY MY

MY CHRISTIAN FAITH.

SO YOU STRIKE ME AS SUCH A

GUY THAT'S CALM COLLECTED.

YOU'VE BEEN TO THE SUPER BOWL A

NUMBER OF TIMES BUT IT DOESN'T

GET ANY.

CAN YOU TALK ABOUT HOW YOUR

FAITH PLAYS A ROLE IN, HOW YOU

PREPARE AND WHO YOU ARE?

YEAH, I THAT'S THE WHOLE

FOUNDATION FOR ME.

I DON'T BELIEVE I'M HERE OR ANY

OF THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT HIM.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU DON'T

KNOW WHY FORTUNATE LIKE I HAVE

THEN BUT I DO KNOW IT'S ALL

BECAUSE OF HIM AND SO I DO GIVE

HIM ALL THE GLORY AND THAT WILL

CONTINUE.

WIN LOSE OR DRAW.

AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR

ALL OF IT.

HEY, PATRICK, AFTER THE AFC

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME YOU WERE

QUICK TO GIVE GLORY TO GOD AND

.

PEOPLE MIGHT SAY HEY, OF COURSE

YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE GLORY TO

GOD.

ALL YOU DO IS WIN.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU TO

GIVE HIM PRAISE ONE WAY OR THE

OTHER?

YEAH, I MEAN I THINK IT'S IT'S

IMPORTANT TO ME EVERY SINGLE

DAY IT'S NOT ABOUT FOOTBALL.

IT'S JUST GIVING GLORY TO GOD

FOR THAT BEING ABLE TO WALK

AROUND TO LIVE MY LIFE, TO HAVE

A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY, TO BE ABLE

TO TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON OTHERS

AND I'M GOING TO USE THAT STAGE

IN THAT PLATFORM WIN OR LOSE TO

GIVE GLORY BACK TO HIM TO

HOPEFULLY BRING OTHERS TO HIM

AND THAT THEY CAN HAVE THE SAME

LOVE FOR LIFE I HAVE BECAUSE OF

THAT HERE ON THE GREATEST STAGE

IN SPORTS IT REALLY IS A MAN

WHO RIVALS THE WORLD CUP AND

THE OLYMPICS BUT WHEN YOU LOOK

AT 200 MILLION VIEWERS THE

GREATEST STAGE AND YOU GO OKAY,

WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

WELL, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT

JESUS AND HOW THEIR FAITH GOT

THEM TO THE LEVEL THAT THEY

CURRENTLY HAVE AND REGARDLESS

OF WIN, LOSE OR DRAW THEY'RE

GOING TO GIVE GLORY TO GOD FOR

WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR THEM AND

HOW AFTER THEIR CAREERS ARE

OVER AND THEY'RE OFF THAT

STAGE, THEY'RE STILL GOING TO

GIVE GLORY TO GOD.

THEY'RE GOING TO LIVE FOR HIM

AND MAKE THE KINGDOM OF GOD

THEIR PRINCIPLE AIM AND HIS

RIGHTEOUSNESS.

WHEN YOU DO THAT THE WORDS

OF JESUS COME TRUE FOR YOU.

ALL THESE OTHER THINGS WILL BE

ADDED UNTO YOU.

YOU WILL FIND RIGHTEOUSNESS YOU

WILL FIND PEACE.

YOU WILL FIND JOY YOU'LL FIND

IN LIFE YOU'LL FIND ALL OF

THESE THINGS JUST BECAUSE YOU

SURRENDER TO HIM AND SAY JESUS,

COULD YOU COME IN?

COULD YOU BE MY SAVIOR?

I SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR

OTHERS CAN YOU DO THAT FOR ME?

IF YOU TODAY WANT TO SAY I NEED

TO GET RIGHT WITH GOD, I NEED

TO KNOW.

IS THIS REAL?

IT WAS A VERY SIMPLE PRAYER FOR

YOU AND I JUST WANT TO REPEAT

THIS OVER AND OVER AND OVER

TO A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT AND

HE NEVER CAME BACK.

ELISA LAHTI ALENE WAS

HAPPILY MARRIED WITH A YOUNG IN

2015.

THEN HER WORLD TURNED UPSIDE

DOWN.

ONE APRIL NIGHT ELISA RECEIVED

NEWS THAT HER HUSBAND BENNY HAD

SUFFERED A SEVERE ASTHMA ATTACK

AND LATER DIED.

ELISA WAS SHATTERED AND

SPENT YEARS AN UNHEALTHY WAYS.

SHE SAYS SHE FINALLY LEARNED

HOW TO AND HEAL BY LEANING ON

JESUS EXPLAINED HER BOOK FROM

GRIEF TO GLORY.

PLEASE WELCOME TO THE 700

CLUB, THE DIRECTOR OF CBS UK

ELISA LOTTIE ALENE.

IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

IT'S WONDERFUL TO BE ABLE TO

SHARE YOUR STORY PEOPLE BECAUSE

GRIEF IS SUCH A LIFE THING IT'S

ALMOST PALPABLE.

IT'S SO, SO DEEP.

BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR

LIFE BEFORE WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE

WITH BENNY?

WHAT WAS LIFE LIKE FOR YOU?

FOR BENNY?

FOR YOUR SON?

OH MY GOSH.

WE WERE LIVING A GREAT LIFE.

YOU KNOW, WE WERE I WAS VICE OF

A $30 MILLION BUSINESS UNIT.

WE MOVED TO THE US FOUR YEARS

PREVIOUSLY TO TO JUST START A

WHOLE NEW ADVENTURE.

WHEN I LEFT THE UK I WAS VERY

MUCH THERE AND.

SO WAS HE THAT THE US WAS GOING

TO BE OUR LIFE AND WE GOING TO

RAISE OUR SON HERE MAYBE HAVE

MORE CHILDREN AND BUT YEAH IT

WAS VERY COMFORTABLE.

IT WAS WAS A JOY.

EVERYTHING IN AMERICA WAS

BIG MUCH BIGGER TODAY BUT WE

WERE I SAY NOW WE WERE

COMFORTABLE.

YEAH BUT I ALWAYS FELT LIKE

THERE WAS SOMETHING MISSING

FROM LIFE EVEN WITH THE

ACHIEVEMENTS.

I REMEMBER WHEN I GOT PROMOTED

IN IN JANUARY OF THAT SAME YEAR

THAT HE PASSED AWAY I REMEMBER

SITTING IN MY CAR CRYING MY

EYES OUT THINKING.

SOMETHING FEELS EMPTY.

ODD.

VERY ODD.

VERY.

I WANT YOU TO SHARE HOW

BENNY DIED BECAUSE IT'S SO AND

AND LED UP TO I MEAN IT WOULD

HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE THING FOR

YOU UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUT

IT WAS BIZARRE.

YEAH.

YEAH, HE HE HAD SUFFERED FROM

ASTHMA PRETTY MUCH ALL OF HIS

LIFE AND HE'D BEEN HOSPITALIZED

A NUMBER OF TIMES BUT AND A

TRIGGER FOR HIM WAS A COLD WHEN

HE GOT A COLD WE KNEW THAT HE

HAD TO GET TO THE DOCTORS TO

GET SOME STEROIDS SOME

MEDICATION AND THAT EVENING

HE'D GONE A LATE APPOINTMENT AT

6:00 IN THE EVENING I HAD

ACTUALLY GONE TO WE'D BEEN

THINKING ABOUT HAVING JESUS IN

OUR LIVES AND WHEN WE HAD I'D

GONE TO A CHOIR PRACTICE THE

CHURCH THAT WE WERE STARTING TO

LOOK AT AND I TOOK JACOB WITH

ME.

SO WHEN WE CAME HOME AT ABOUT

EIGHT 8:00, 30 I WAS BUSY

RUSHING AROUND GETTING JAKE AND

JACOB READY FOR BED AND HE

WASN'T HE DIDN'T HE HADN'T COME

HOME AND AT ABOUT 9:30 QUARTERS

TEN I FELT LIKE THIS IS VERY

ON.

CHARACTERISTIC OF HIM SO

CAUGHT PHONE CAUGHT HIS AROUND

AT CALLING HIS PHONE PROBABLY

ABOUT THE 12TH TIME JUST BEFORE

THE A NUMBER THAT I JUST DIDN'T

RECOGNIZE CAME ON MY PHONE I

PICKED IT UP AND IT WAS THE

HOSPITAL THEY SAID THAT YOUR

HUSBAND CAN'T SPEAK WE NEED YOU

TO GET HIM STRAIGHT AWAY SO

DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WOULD GREET ME

AT THE HOSPITAL SO I WANTED TO

JUST GIVE JACOB TO OUR

NEIGHBORS.

THEY TOOK CARE OF HIM AND I

JUST DROVE TO THE HOSPITAL

WHICH WAS ABOUT 35 MINUTES AWAY

THINKING THE WHOLE TIME PLEASE

LET IT BE SOMETHING MANAGEABLE

WHATEVER IT IS.

AND WHEN I GOT TO THE HOSPITAL

WAS GREETED BY A MAN THAT TOOK

ME TO A SIDE AND YOU KNOW WHEN

I GET THERE, YOU KNOW YEAH.

YOU KNOW IT'S NOT THAT I WAS

GREETED THEN WHEN I SAT IN THAT

IN THAT ROOM WITH A CHAPLAIN OR

A DOCTOR OR NURSE AND THEN THE

CHAPLAIN CAME LAST AND MY

IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WAS WHAT'S

THAT WHAT'S THE CHAPLAIN DOING

HERE?

AND THEN THEY EXPLAINED THAT HE

HAD BEEN BROUGHT HERE FROM THE

DOCTOR.

HIS ASTHMA HAD BEEN EXASPERATED

AND WHEN HE GOT TO THE HOSPITAL

HE WAS VERY COMBATIVE,

COMBATIVE.

THEY SEDATED HIM AND HIS HEART

RATE WAS JUST GOING AND DOWN

AND UP AND DOWN UNTIL HE WENT

INTO CARDIAC ARREST AND AND

DIED AT THE AGE OF 30 OFF OF A

CARDIAC ARREST.

I, I WOULD I KNOW LIFE WAS

JUST OUT CONTROL FOR YOU AT

THAT POINT.

YOU WENT THROUGH SO MANY THINGS

WHICH YOU SHARE IN THE BOOK,

ONE OF THEM BEING THE THINGS

WE'VE ALL HEARD ABOUT THE

STAGES OF GRIEF AND YOU KNOW

TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT

BECAUSE EVERYBODY GOES THROUGH

THAT THEY EXPECT TO OR NOT EVEN

WHERE YOU SHARED ABOUT BEING

WITH BENNY.

YEAH.

OH YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

SO YOU KNOW THE VARIOUS

DIFFERENT STAGES THAT I OUTLINE

IN THE BOOK IN THERE THAT NO

SECRET TO YOU KNOW I HAD THE

ASSUMPTION THAT I WAS GOING TO

TRAVEL THROUGH THEM STEP BY

STEP LIKE I'VE GOT THIS CHICK

CHICK WHEN I'LL THE NEXT

ONE OFF AND IT JUST DIDN'T WORK

LIKE THAT YOU KNOW MOMENTS

WHERE I FELT LIKE I'D ACCEPTED

IT I HADN'T AT MOMENTS WHERE I

FELT LIKE, YOU KNOW, I WAS

NEGOTIATING ALMOST BARGAINING

WITH THE UNIVERSE AT THAT TIME

OR OR WITH JUST SAYING YOU KNOW

WHAT, MAYBE HE REALLY HASN'T

GONE OR IT WAS IT WAS VERY,

VERY STRANGE.

BUT AND I OFTEN SAY TO ANYBODY

TO THAT I SPEAK TO ABOUT GRIEF

IS THAT IT'S NOT LINEAR.

IT JOURNEYS UP AND DOWN BUT I

GOT STUCK IN THE ANGRY STAGE OF

PRETENDING THAT I WAS AT THE

ACCEPTANCE STAGE AND WHAT I

TALK ABOUT IN THE BOOK IS BEING

STUCK IN THIS PLACE COULD

COMPLICATE IT GRIEF WHERE YOU

CAN'T MOVE PAST A CERTAIN POINT

BECAUSE YOU'RE EITHER NOT

TALKING TO A COUNSELOR, YOU'RE

NOT ACCEPTING IT YOURSELF.

BUT I STAYED IN THIS PLACE OF

ANGER.

I'M REALLY WITH BENNY BECAUSE I

FELT LIKE HE WE TALKED ABOUT

HIS ASTHMA MANY TIMES AND HE

MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT IT HIS

ASTHMA AND THAT I SHOULDN'T TRY

AND CONTROL IT HE WANTED TO

CONTROL IT WITH NATURAL

MEDICATION AND I WANTED HIM TO

REALLY GO DOWN THE OF OF OF

MEDICATION AND AND DIFFERENT

THINGS AS THINGS MOVED ON YOU

WENT THROUGH SO MANY THINGS BUT

I REALLY WAS PROUD OF YOU FOR

GOING TO COUNSELING BECAUSE

MANY PEOPLE DON'T DO THAT.

THEY SEE IT AS A WEAKNESS OR

JUST AS TALKED ABOUT I CAN GET

THROUGH THIS MYSELF, I CAN MAKE

THIS WORK BUT.

YOU CAME TO KNOW JESUS BUT YOU

NEEDED SOMEBODY TO WALK THROUGH

THAT.

HOW IMPORTANT WAS THAT TO

YOU?

IT WAS IT WAS ESSENTIAL FOR ME.

I WOULDN'T BE HERE WITHOUT

JESUS BUT I ABSOLUTELY WOULD

NOT BE HERE WITHOUT HIM GUIDING

ME THE RIGHT PERSON TO SPEAK

TO.

AND YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS THAT YOU

KNOW, THE LORD GIVES US A

SPIRITUAL GIFT IS GIVEN TO US

ALL AND GOD HAS GIFTED PEOPLE

WITH THE GIFT OF BEING ABLE TO

HELP PEOPLE DECODE AND DISSECT

THINGS IN THEIR LIFE PAST

TRAUMAS, GRIEF LOSS AND SO FOR

ME IT WAS REALLY UNTANGLING

PROCESS OF GRIEF WHERE I WAS

THE GUILT I FELT AND THAT'S

REALLY WHAT WE ENDED UP AT IN

TERMS OF MY GRIEF WHEREAS I

FELT SO GUILTY I FELT GUILTY

THAT LEFT THE HOME OF BARBADOS

FOR ME.

I FELT THAT I'D WORKED TOO MUCH

IN MY CAREER.

I DIDN'T SPEND ENOUGH TIME HIM

I FELT GUILTY FOR SO MANY

DIFFERENT THINGS AND MISTAKES

THAT I'D MADE AND I HAD TO

FORGIVE MYSELF.

AND SO WITH MY WITH MY JOURNEY,

WITH MY RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS

AND THROUGH MY COUNSELING I

CAME TO A PLACE OF OF

ACCEPTANCE BUT ACCEPTANCE CAME

THROUGH FORGIVENESS.

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON I

USED TO FORGIVE MYSELF BUT

WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHERE

PEOPLE CAN GET YOUR BOOK IN A

MOMENT BUT.

FIRST QUICK UPDATE ON YOUR LIFE

TODAY.

YEAH, BECAUSE YOU HAVE HAD A

NEW BEGINNING AND A NEW LIFE

AND TELL US THAT YEAH I'M I

REKINDLED WITH A FRIEND THAT

PART OF MY JOURNEY.

I GOT EMOTIONAL SOMETIMES I

DON'T TELL HIM ENOUGH HOW

IMPORTANT HAS BEEN IN MY

HEALING JOURNEY AND AND HOW

MUCH HE'S HE'S JUST LOVED US.

I LOVE BOTH MYSELF AND JACOB

AND JACOB IS 14 NOW AND DOING

WONDERFULLY AND I WANT TO

WELL DANIEL WAS BABY LOSING

WEIGHT RAPIDLY WITHOUT SURGERY.

HE MIGHT DIE.

HIS PARENTS HAD NO MONEY FOR

THE TREATMENT HE NEEDED UNTIL

SUDDENLY THEY WERE APPROACHED

BY A STRANGER.

DANIEL WAS BORN WITH A A CLEFT

LIP AND PALATE.

HE LIVES WITH HIS PARENTS AND

HIS BROTHER IN POOR BARRIO IN

HONDURAS.

INITIALLY THE COUPLE'S

BIGGEST CHALLENGE WAS GETTING

DANIEL TO EAT ENOUGH.

THE DOCTORS SAID TO GIVE HIM

TWO OUNCES OF MILK AT A TIME

AND NORMAL BABY CAN DRINK THAT

IN A FEW MINUTES.

IT TOOK DANIEL AND NOW YEAR AND

A HALF TO DRINK THAT TINY

AMOUNT.

DANIEL WAS LOSING WEIGHT.

THE DOCTORS SAID THAT HE HAD

A CASE THIS WHERE THE BABY DIED

AT TEN MONTHS BECAUSE OF

MALNOURISHMENT.

HE SAID WE NEED TO SCHEDULE AN

OPERATION AWAY.

BUT THE YOUNG PARENTS COULD

NOT AFFORD THE MULTIPLE

SURGERIES NEEDED TO REPAIR

DANIEL'S CLEFT LIP AND PALATE.

AS CHRISTIANS THEY'VE BEEN

PRAYING FOR HELP.

THEY SAID THEIR MIRACLE ANSWER

CAME AS THEY WALKED HOME FROM

THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE THAT DAY WE

WERE GOING BACK HOME AND

SUDDENLY SOMEONE APPROACHED US

AND GAVE US THE NUMBER FOR

OPERATION BLESSING.

IT WAS A TOTAL STRANGER.

HE SAID DON'T ASK ME MY NAME.

JUST CALL THIS NUMBER AND GOD

WILL DO THE REST.

AT THAT MOMENT WE HAD HOPE.

THEY CALLED THE NUMBER THAT

THEY'D BEEN GIVEN.

WE CONTACTED OPERATION

BLESSING.

THEY WELCOMED US AS IF THEY HAD

EXPECTING US.

THEN THANKS TO YOU OVER THE

NEXT YEAR BLESSING PAID FOR

DANIEL TO RECEIVE THREE

SEPARATE SURGERIES REPAIR HIS

CLEFT LIP AND PALATE.

THOSE OPERATIONS SUCCESSFUL AND

NOW DANIEL IS AN ACTIVE HAPPY

TODDLER WITH A NEW SMILE.

US A NINJA.

ALL OF US NEED SOMETHING TO

CALL NOW OR GO TO

CBSNEWS.COM.

TODAY'S FIRST EMAIL COMES

FROM SHARON SAYS HI.

WE OWE SO MUCH MONEY THAT IT'S

HARD TO GET THINGS ON TIME.

MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN ON

DISABILITY FOR A LONG TIME.

I'M RETIRED AND WORK PART TIME.

IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH.

WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

ANYMORE.

WE DO TITHE TO THE 700 CLUB AND

TO OUR CHURCH.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?

SHARON I THINK YOU NEED TO HAVE

A FINANCIAL OVERHAUL.

I ENCOURAGE TO LIVE

ACCORDANCE WITH THE 8010 TEN

RULE.

WHERE WHAT ARE YOUR TOTAL

MONTHLY EXPENSES?

TOTAL MONTHLY INCOME AND

THAT SHOULD BE 80% OF OF YOUR

TOTAL INCOME GO FOR YOUR

EXPENSES IF YOUR EXPENSES

EXCEED THAT.

THEN YOU HAVE TO DO WHATEVER

YOU CAN TO REDUCE THOSE

EXPENSES PUT 10% ASIDE IN THE

SAVINGS.

THAT'S HOW YOU BUILD WEALTH

TIME.

AND THEN 10% ALL THE TIME.

YOU SAY THAT YOUR HUSBAND'S

DISABILITY.

I THINK THAT DISABILITY PAYMENT

HE PAID INTO THAT PROGRAM

ASSUMING IT'S SOCIAL SECURITY

DISABILITY HE PAID INTO THAT

PROGRAM TECHNICALLY FROM A TIE

STANDPOINT IT'S NOT AN INCREASE

.

YOU'RE GETTING MONEY BACK THAT

YOU PAID INTO A A PROGRAM.

THEREFORE DO YOU NEED TO TITHE

ON THAT?

AND THE ANSWER NO YOU DON'T.

IF YOU'RE WORKING PART TIME AND

YOU'RE GETTING INCOME FROM THAT

THAT'S INCREASED AND SO TITHE

ON THAT.

THERE'S ANOTHER PRINCIPLE THAT

ISN'T REALLY TALKED ABOUT IN

THE CHRISTIAN WORLD AND IT'S

ALMOST AN EMBARRASSMENT.

TALK ABOUT BANKRUPTCY.

BUT BANKRUPTCY HAS ROOTS IN

SCRIPTURE AND IT'S FROM

DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 15.

AT THE END OF EVERY SEVEN

YEARS SHALL GRANT A RELEASE OF

DEBTS.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR CURRENT

BANKRUPTCY LAW YOU CAN'T

DECLARE BANKRUPTCY EVERY BUT

EVERY SEVEN YEARS AND IN THIS

BASED THAT SCRIPTURE WE IN OUR

MODERN CULTURE WE RECOGNIZE THE

SPIRITUAL BASIS OF IT.

BUT IF YOU ARE SO

OVERWHELMED BY DEBT BANKRUPTCY

MAY BE AN OPTION FOR YOU.

THERE ARE PLENTY OF FINANCIAL

COUNSELORS AVAILABLE THAT CAN

WALK YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS.

DON'T KNOW THE TOTAL SUM THAT

YOU OWE OR YOUR TOTAL INCOME.

THESE ARE JUST PRINCIPLES TO

LOOK AT AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE A

LOOK AT IT.

HERE'S A WORD FROM CORINTHIANS.

THANKS BE TO GOD FOR HIS

INDESCRIBABLE GIFT.

GOD BLESS YOU.
