Reporter: THE THE
GOVERNMENT STORMED HER HOME
AND KILLED HER FAMILY.
WHERE I WAS, WHERE SHE
WAS, WHERE DAD WAS -- I
SHOULD BE DEAD.
Reporter: AND THAT'S
WHEN HER BATTLE BEGAN.
WOULD YOU TRADE YOUR MOM
AND YOUR BROTHER FOR THAT?
Reporter: THE MASSACRE
AT RUBY RIDGE 20 YEARS
LATER.
I KNEW SOMETHING BAD WAS
HAPPENING.
Reporter: PLUS, HOW
THIS BUSINESSMAN WENT FROM
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS IN DEBT TO BECOME A
SECRET MILLIONAIRE ON
TODAY'S "THE 700 CLUB."
Pat: WELL, WELCOME TO
THIS EDITION OF "THE 700
CLUB."
WE'VE GOT A JAM-PACKED
PROGRAM FOR YOU TODAY.
THIS POLITICS THINGS IS
HEATING UP.
ONE KEY BLOCK THAT SEEMS TO
HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE AND IS
GROWING VERY FAST, WHETHER
IT AFFECTS POLITICS OR NOT,
WE'LL HAVE TO SEE, BUT,
NEVERTHELESS, THE LATINOS OR
HISPANICS ARE GETTING TO BE
ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT
VOTING BLOCKS IN AMERICA.
Kristi: SO, PAT, THE
QUESTION OF THE DAY IS WHAT
IS ROMNEY AND THE PRESIDENT
DOING TO WIN THE HISPANIC
VOTE.
DAVID BRODY HAS THAT STORY.
Reporter: POLITICIANS
LIKE TO TALK ABOUT BOTH, THE
DEBT AND LATINO VOTERS.
THE NUMBER IS EXPECTED TO BE
29%.
MITT ROMNEY --
[ SPEAKING SPANISH ]
Reporter: ROMNEY ADS
SHOWCASES MEXICAN-BORN
FATHER, BUT POLLS SHOW IT
WILL TAKE MORE THAN A FAMILY
CONNECTION TO OVERCOME
PRESIDENT OBAMA'S 26 TO 23
EDGE.
EVANGELICAL LEADERS, LIKE
THE REVEREND SAMMY RODRIGUEZ
IS URGING ROMNEY TO MODERATE
HIS LANGUAGE ON THE ISSUE.
IF A CANDIDATE IS BUYING
INTO THE HYPERBOLE THAT IS
ANTI-IMMIGRATION, THAT
CANDIDATE IS GOING TO HAVE A
DIFFICULT TIME CLIMBING UP
THE PROVERBIAL LATINO LADDER.
SUERTE, GOOD LUCK.
Reporter: LARGER
HISPANIC POPULATIONS, LIKE
ARIZONA, NEW MEXICO, AND IF
IT HAS A LARGE TURN NOUT, IT
SHOULD HELP.
THEY ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY
TO TRY TO MAKE A SIZABLE
DENT IN WINNING THE HISPANIC
VOTE HERE IN NEVADA.
THEY KNOW IF THEY CAN DO
THAT, THEY CAN TAKE NEVADA.
AND IF THEY DO THAT IN A KEY
SWING STATE, IT COULD BE
PIVOTAL IN THE MAIN
ELECTION.
LABOR STATISTICS SHOW UNDER
PRESIDENT OBAMA, HISPANICS
OR LATINO WORKERS, MAKE UP
20% OF ALL UNEMPLOYED
AMERICANS.
AND THEY ACCOUNT FOR NEARLY
30% OF ALL AMERICANS LIVING
IN POVERTY.
WE NEED CONSERVATIVE
LEADERSHIP.
THE CURRENT LEADERSHIP WE
HAVE RIGHT NOW HAS OBVIOUSLY
NOT ONLY BEEN EFFECTIVE.
AND NOT ONLY IS OUR ECONOMY
SUFFERING, ESPECIALLY IN THE
HISPANIC COMMUNITIES, BUT WE
NEED AN ADMINISTRATION THAT
IS GOING TO KEEP ITS
PROMISES.
THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE
A TERRIBLE JOB OF KEEPING
ITS PROMISES.
Reporter: MEANWHILE,
THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN IS
WORKING HARD TO GET THE
HISPANICS.
HE IS VERY MUCH ONE OF
US.
HE IS A SON OF AN
IMMIGRANT.
HE IS A PERSON OF COLOR, AND
HE DOESN'T COME FROM A RICH
BACKGROUND WITH A SILVER
SPOON IN HIS MOUTH.
Reporter: THE OBAMA
CAMPAIGN IS GOING TO TRY TO
MAKE THE CASE THAT THE
ROMNEY CAMPAIGN IS MEAN.
WHATEVER HAPPENS IN 2012,
THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY WILL
BECOME EVEN MORE IMPORTANT
IN THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN
POLITICS.
DAVID BRODY, CBN NEWS, LAS
VEGAS, NEVADA.
Pat: I RAN FOR
PRESIDENT SOME YEARS AGO.
AND I WAS DOWN IN MIAMI, AND
I MARCHED IN THE JOSE MARTIN
PARADE.
AND I GAVE A SPEECH.
"I WANT CUBA LIBRE."
I WAS DRIVING OUT, I STOPPED
AT A STOPLIGHT, AND THERE
WAS A LADY IN THIS CAR NEXT
TO ME.
AND SHE ROLLED DOWN HER
WINDOW, AND I ROLLED MY
WINDOW DOWN, AND SHE
SAID, "I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR
YOU."
Kristi: DID SHE SAY
WHY?
Pat: NO, BUT THAT'S ALL
I WANTED TO HEAR, "I'M GOING
TO VOTE FOR YOU."
THE REPUBLICANS HAVE TO GET
OFF THIS CASE.
THEY THINK THEY HAVE SOME
CORE CONSTITUENCY THAT HATES
IMMIGRANTS.
WE CAN'T DO THAT.
WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE
FINENESS AND WONDER THAT
THESE PEOPLE BRING TO OUR
DEMOCRACY.
I THINK THE REPUBLICANS ARE
SHOOTING THEMSELVES IN THE
FOOT.
SURE THE HISPANICS AND THE
LATINOS -- WHICHEVER --
YOU'RE IN CALIFORNIA, IT'S
LATINOS, AND IN MIAMI,
THEY'RE HISPANIC -- ANYHOW,
WHATEVER THE NAME IS, THEY
WANT JOBS.
BUT THEY WANT RESPECT.
AND I THINK THE REPUBLICANS
HAVE GOT TO CHANGE THEIR
MESSAGE.
LEE WEBB HAS THE REST OF OUR
TOP STORIES.
Reporter: STAYING ON
THE POLITICAL THEME, THE
REPUBLICANS ARE PRESSURING
TODD AKIN TO DROP OUT OF THE
SENATE RACE.
BUT A NEW POLL SHOWS AIKINS
STILL DOING WELL AFTER HIS
CONTROVERSIAL REMARKS.
THE DEMOCRATIC FIRM PUBLIC
POLICY APOLOGY CONDUCTED
THAT SURVEY.
HERE IS WHAT AIKINS SAID ON
SUNDAY, FOLLOWED BY HIS
APOLOGY ON SUNDAY.
IF IT IS A LEGITIMATE
RAPE, THE FEMALE BODY HAS
WAYS TO TRY TO SHUT THAT
WHOLE THING DOWN.
I MADE THAT STATEMENT IN
ERROR.
RAPE IS NEVER LEGITIMATE.
WHAT I SAID WAS
ILL-CONCEIVED AND IT WAS
WRONG, AND FOR THAT I
APOLOGIZE.
BUT REPUBLICANS FROM THE
TOP DOWN REBUKE AKIN.
PAT?
Pat: I'LL TELL YOU,
FOLKS, THAT'S ONE OF THOSE,
AGAIN, SHOOTING YOURSELF IN
THE FOOT.
THIS GUY IS AHEAD IN THE
POLLS.
HE HAS A CHANCE TO WIN.
THE REPUBLICANS NEED THE
SENATE.
AND SO HE SCREWED UP.
HE MADE A DUMB REMARK.
AND SO DON'T WE ALL.
IT IS TIME TO SAY, OKAY,
TODD, YOU APOLOGIZED.
YOU MISSPOKE.
AND LET'S GET ON WITH LIFE.
LET'S RUN THE CAMPAIGN.
THE ADHERE IS FORMING A
CIRCULAR FIRING SQUAD AND
GOING AFTER EACH OTHER.
NOT SMART.
LEE?
Reporter: CHARITABLE
TBIF GIVING IS LARGER IN
STATES WITH RELIGIOUS
PEOPLE.
THEY STUDIED RECORDS FROM
2008 AND CONCLUDED THE MOST
GENEROUS STATE WAS UTAH,
FOLLOWED BY MISSISSIPPI,
ALABAMA, TENNESSEE, AND
SOUTH CAROLINA.
THE STINCH GIEST AREA OF THE
COUNTRY?
NEW ENGLAND.
WHERE A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF
NON-RELIGIOUS PEOPLE LIVE.
FOLLOWED BY MAINE, VERMONT,
MASSACHUSETTS, AND RHODE
ISLAND.
THE LEAST GENEROUS AND LEAST
RELIGIOUS STATES VOTED
DEMOCRATIC IN THE LAST
ELECTION, AND THOSE WHO GAVE
MOST VOTED REPUBLICAN.
PAT, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF
THAT?
Pat: I THINK THE
LIBERALS WANT THE GOVERNMENT
TO PAY ALL OF THE BILLS.
THEY DON'T WANT TO REACH
INTO THEIR POCKET.
THEY WANT TO REACH INTO YOUR
POCKET.
THEY'LL TAKE MONEY FROM YOU
TO USE FOR THEIR PET
PROJECTS, BUT THEY WON'T
TAKE IT FROM THEMSELVES.
THOSE WHO KNOW THE LORD AND
ARE CONCERNED ABOUT OTHER
PEOPLE REACH INTO THEIR OWN
POCKET AND GIVE GENEROUSLY.
THAT'S WHAT THEIR SURVEYS
SHOW.
NEW ENGLAND IS LOSING,
LOSING, LOSING.
THEY HAVE TO ADOPT A POLICY
OF GENEROSITY AND GET BACK
ON TOP.
LEE?
Reporter: APPLE IS NOW
THE HIGHEST VALUED COMPANY
IN THE HISTORY OF WALL
STREET.
THE STOCK IS WORTH
$623 BILLION.
THAT BEATS MICROSOFT'S OLD
RECORD OF $613 BILLION, THAT
WAS SET BACK IN 1999.
ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION,
MICROSOFT WAS WORTH ABOUT
$850 BILLION THEN.
MANY ANALYSTS BELIEVE APPLE
CAN STILL GO HIGHER.
THE COMPANY'S STOCK HAS BEEN
RISING BECAUSE OF THE
UPCOMING iPHONE 5.
ISRAEL IS CLOSER THAN EVER
TO AN ATTACK ON IRAN.
AND BENJAMIN NETANYAHU IS
DETERMINED TO ATTACK BEFORE
THE U.S. ELECTION.
MILITARY REPORT ALAN BEN
DAVID FILED THAT REPORT.
HE HAD INSIDE ACCESS TO THE
ISRAELI AIR FORCE AS TO
TRAIN FOR A POSSIBLE
STRIKE.
HE AS BENJAMIN NETANYAHU MAY
GO FOR THE ATTACK BEFORE A
POSSIBLE MEETING WITH
PRESIDENT OBAMA AT THE U.N.
NEXT MONTH.
DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT,
PAT?
Pat: I AGREE THAT A
MEETING WITH OBAMA WOULD BE
TOTALLY FRUITLESS.
I THINK THESE GUYS DON'T
LIKE EACH OTHER.
OBAMA COULD BE A LAME-DUCK.
WHO NEEDS HIM.
AT THIS POINT IN TIME,
NETANYAHU OUGHT TO DO WHAT
NETANYAHU OUGHT TO DO.
BUT I'LL TELL YOU, THERE ARE
TREMENDOUS CONSEQUENCES.
HEZBOLLAH IS LOOKING AT
40,000 TO 50,000 ROCKETS.
THEY HAVE NEW SCUD
MISSILES.
THEY HAVE BETTER TARGETING
FACILITIES.
THEY'RE GOING TO BLOW THE
DAY LIGHTS OUT OF ISRAEL IF
ANY WAR STARTS.
THE IRANIANS WILL COME BACK
AND IT WILL BE A BLOODY
MESS.
BUT A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST IS
WORSE.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU IS A GOOD
MAN, HE IS A DEAR FRIEND,
AND I WISH HIM WELL.
I WOULD SAY PLEASE PRAY FOR
ISRAEL THAT THEIR LEADERS
MAKE WISE DECISIONS IN THIS
TIME OF CRISIS.
LEE?
Reporter: ISRAELI
ARCHEOLOGISTS FEEL THEY
FOUND EVIDENCE THAT THE
STRONG MAN SAMPSON IS REAL.
THAT EVIDENCE COMES IN A
SMALL ARTIFACT FOUND IN
SAMPSON'S HOME TOWN.
Reporter: THE EXCITING
DISCOVERY, ABOUT THE SIZE OF
A PEBBLE, DEPICTS ONE OF
SAMPSON'S ADVENTURES.
YOU CAN SEE A VERY LARGE
PIECE HERE.
> IT IS A PERSON REACHING
OUT HERE.
MAYBE HE IS DEFENDING OR
ATTACKING THE LARGE ANIMAL.
Reporter: THE
CONE-SHAPED SEAL DATES BACK
TO 1200 B.C., WHICH MATCHES
THE BIBLE'S TIMEFRAME FOR
SAMPSON'S LIFE.
IT ILLUSTRATES A SCENE FROM
THE BOOK OF JUDGES, WHERE
SAMPSON IS ON HIS WAY TO
MEET HIS FIANCEE IN TIMNA.
SUDDENLY A YOUNG LION CAME
ROARING UPON HIM, AND THE
SPIRIT OF THE LORD CAME UPON
HIM, AND HE TORE THE LION
APART WITH HIS OWN HANDS,
LIKE ONE WHAT A GOAT.
THE MEAT OR THE LEGEND IS
DEPICTED HERE.
IT IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE IN
THE RIGHT TIME.
Reporter: THIS PLACE IS
OF GREAT ARCHEOLOGICAL
INTEREST FOR OTHER REASONS.
IT IS WHERE THEY CAPTURED
THE ARC OF THE COVENANT.
THEY PUT IT ON THERE WITH
TWO COWS.
Reporter: TEL AVIV
UNIVERSITY ARCHEOLOGIST
DR. STEVE LEGEND AND ANOTHER
HAVE LED THE EXCAVATIONS
HERE FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS.
A BRITISH GROUP FIRST
EXCAVATED HERE.
THEY KNEW ABOUT THE
PHILISTINES FROM THE BIBLE,
BUT THEY WANTED TO BRING THE
BIBLICAL STORIES ALIVE.
Reporter: AND PEOPLE
INHABITED THE AREA
CONTINUEIUSLY FOR MORE THAN
1,000 YEARS UNTIL THE SYRIA
KING DESTROYED IT IN 701
B.C.
MODERN DAY BESHEMIST IS
ACROSS THE HIGHWAY.
NEXT SUMMER, ARCHEOLOGISTS
WANT TO UNCOVER MORE OF THE
AREA THAT MAY HAVE BELONGED
TO A MYSTERIOUS FEMALE WHO
RULED THE AREA.
Reporter: HOW
FASCINATING IT MUST BE TO BE
AN ARCHEOLOGIST FROM THE
HOLY LAND.
CAN YOU IMAGINE HOLDING
SOMETHING FROM 1200 B.C.?
Pat: IT IS WONDERFUL.
I HAD A COURSE CALLED
BIBLICAL ARCHEOLOGY, AND IT
IS SIMPLY FABULOUS.
BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO MAKE
VERY CLEAR THAT THERE IS
NOTHING, NOTHING THAT HAS
BEEN FOUND BY SUBSTANTIAL
ARCHEOLOGY WHICH DISPROVES
THE BIBLE.
EVERYTHING IN THE MIDDLE
EAST LINES UP WITH THE
BIBLICAL NARRATIVE WHEN THEY
FIND IT.
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT DARWIN
LOOKING AT SOME ISLAND OFF
THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS.
I'M TALKING ABOUT ON THE
SITE, IN ISRAEL, AND IT
CONFIRMS THE WRITTEN WORD OF
GOD.
THAT SHOULD MAKE US ALL
HAPPY.
Kristi: AMEN, BROTHER.
Pat: IS THAT GOOD?
Kristi: OF COURSE, IT
IS GREAT!
I APPLAUD.
COMING UP, A MULTI-BILLION
CASUALITY ON AMERICA'S WAR
ON TERROR.
FIND OUT WHAT IT IS, AND
WHAT IS BEING DONE TO
REVERSE IT.
Pat: WELL, YOU'RE
WATCHING "THE 700 CLUB," AS
THE MONTH OF AUGUST GROWS TO
A CLOSE.
AND SCHOOL GETS CLOSER AND
CLOSER.
AND EVERYBODY IS ALL SET TO
BUY SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND ALL
OF THE REST OF IT.
WELL, OUR ECONOMY, I MIGHT
ADD, IS NOT FLOURISHING.
CONSUMERS ARE NOT BUYING,
AND MANUFACTURERS ARE
STARTING TO LOAD UP ON
INVENTORIES THEY DON'T
NEED.
AND THEREFORE IT IS CLEAR
THAT OUR ECONOMY NEEDS ALL
OF THE HELP IT CAN GET.
AND IT COULD GET SOME STRONG
HELP FROM A SOURCE YOU MIGHT
NOT EXPECT.
TOURISTS.
AFTER 9/11, AMERICA MADE IT
HARDER FOR FOREIGNERS TO
VISIT THIS COUNTRY.
I THINK THEY'RE STILL MAKING
IT TOUGH.
BUT FINALLY THE U.S. HAS
OPENED ITS COLLECTIVE EYES
AND SAID, WE REALLY NEED
THESE VISITORS AS AN
ECONOMIC STIMULUS.
RATHER THAN A SECURITY
THREAT.
SO HEATHER CELLS IS GOING TO
EXPLAIN WHY BRAZIL IS A
LUCRATIVE SOURCE OF TOURIST
MONEY.
HERE IS HEATHER.
Reporter: MILLIONS
AROUND THE WORLD SEE THE
UNITED STATES AS THEIR
NUMBER ONE TRAVEL
DESTINATION.
DANIEL CABRAL IS ONE OF
THEM.
ALTHOUGH HE LIVES ALONG THE
BEAUTIFUL BRAZILIAN COAST,
HE LOOKS FOR OPPORTUNITIES
TO VISIT THE STATE.
IT IS REALLY GOOD TO GO
SHOPPING.
THE PRICES THERE COMPARED TO
HERE ARE REALLY LOW.
Reporter: IN FACT,
FOREIGN VISITORS REPRESENT
BIG MONEY.
LAST YEAR THEY SPENT
$150 BILLION HERE, AND
BRAZILIANS TOPPED THE
CHARTS, SPENDING ABOUT
$5,000 PER VISIT.
THE FACT IS BRAZILIANS,
ESPECIALLY THE MOVIE-RICH
BRAZILIANS, APPEAR IN THE
NORTHEAST.
THEY HAVE OPPORTUNITIES AND
MONEY TO SPEND, AND THEY
WANT TO SEE THE WORLD.
THEY WANT TO SEE AMERICA.
Reporter: BUT IT IS NOT
ALL GOOD NEWS.
THE VALUE OF GLOBAL TRAVEL
IS EXPECTED TO DOUBLE IN THE
NEXT 10 YEARS TO OVER
$2 TRILLION.
BUT THE U.S. SHARE OF THAT
IS SHRINKING.
PEOPLE LIKE TO USE
SERVICES THAT ARE EASY AND
CONVENIENT.
Reporter: SECURITY
ANALYST JAMES, SAYS THE A
LABORIOUS VISA PROBLEM CURBS
THE TRAVEL.
IN FACT, THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY
CALLS THE LAST 10 YEARS THE
LOST DECADE.
IN 2000, THE U.S. COMMANDED
17% OF THE INTERNATIONAL
TRAVEL.
TODAY IT IS JUST 12%.
A BIG REASON FOR THAT DROP
IS THAT MANY POTENTIAL
TOURISTS NEED A PASSPORT,
PLUS A VISA, TO TRAVEL TO
THE U.S.
AND GETTING THAT VISA COULD
TAKE MONTHS.
THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH A
LENGTHY APPLICATION PROCESS,
AND HAVE AN IN-PERSON
INTERVIEW TO BE APPROVED FOR
A VISA.
Reporter: CBN NEWS MET
BRUNO AS HE WAITED FOR HIS
OUTSIDE THE U.S. CONSULATE
IN BRAZIL.
BECAUSE MY CITY -- I
CAN'T TAKE THE VISA THERE.
I HAVE TO TRAVEL TO SPAIN
AND SPEND TWO DAYS THERE.
WHAT WE'VE SEEN WITH SOME
BRAZILIAN TOURISTS, THEY'RE
GOING TO COUNTRIES WHERE
THEY DON'T HAVE TO GET A
VISA.
COUNTRIES LIKE FRANCE AND
GERMANY.
Reporter: THE U.S. WILL
CUT THE VISA WAIT TIME BY
40% OVER THE NEXT YEAR.
IN HAFIFI IT USED TO TAKE 60
DAYS TO GET A VISA.
IT NOW TAKES TWO.
THERE IS ALSO SUPPORT TO ADD
MORE COUNTRIES, SUCH AS
BRAZIL, TO THE VISA WAIVER
PROGRAM.
THIS ALLOWS PASSENGERS TO
COME TO THE U.S. WITH JUST
LIAR PASSPORT.
ONE THING THE UNITED
STATES CAN DO IS MAKE IT
EASIER TO COME TO THE UNITED
STATES.
IN THE POST-9/11 WORLD,
PEOPLE EQUATE EASIER WITH
SECURITY RISKS, BUT THAT IS
NOT NECESSARILY SO.
Reporter: THOSE
COUNTRIES MOST AGREE TO
SPECIFIC SECURITY PROTOCOLS,
SHARE LOST AND STOLEN
PASSPORT INFORMATION.
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT KNOWS
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
SOMEBODY COMING FROM A
COUNTRY WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE
TO GET A VISA, IRONICALLY,
THAN A COUNTRY WHERE YOU
DO.
Reporter: FOR DANIEL,
THESE EFFORTS ARE ALREADY
PAYING OFF.
IT TOOK JUST TWO WEEKS FOR
HIM TO GET A VISA FOR A
VISIT IN MAY.
I TOLD ALL OF MY
FRIENDS.
AND EVEN MY FAMILY IS AR IS
GETTING THEIR VISA.
Reporter: EVERY 33
VISITORS HERE CREATE ONE
AMERICAN JOB.
SO THE MORE PEOPLE WHO
VISIT, THE MORE AMERICANS
WILL GET BACK TO WORK.
HEATHER CELLS, CBN NEWS.
Pat: GOOD WORD,
HEATHER.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I WANT
TO SAY YOU TURN A BUNCH OF
BUREAUCRATS LOSE ON
ANYTHING, THEY'RE GOING TO
MAKE IT HARD.
I DON'T CARE WHAT IT IS,
WHETHER IT IS DOG LICENSES
OR VISAS.
WE'VE JUST GOT TO SIMPLIFY
THINGS.
WE WANT TOURISTS.
AMERICA IS GOING INTO A
RECESSION.
I WAS READING GARY
SCHILLING'S VERY EXCELLENT
MONTHLY ECONOMIC ANALYSIS,
AND HE IS TALKING ABOUT THE
LOOK OF A SERIOUS DOWNTURN
IN OUR ECONOMY.
WHY?
BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE NOT
BUYING.
THEY'RE NOT SPENDING.
THEY HAVEN'T GOT THE MONEY.
THEIR HOUSE PRICES ARE
DECLINING, AND THIS HAS GOT
A RIPPLE EFFECT ALL THE WAY
THROUGH, WHICH MEANS MORE
JOBS LOST, ETC., ETC.
WE NEED THE INFLUX OF
TOURISTS FROM AROUND THE
WORLD.
WE CAN'T LET ONE SHOE-BOMBER
OR ONE UNDERWEAR BOMBER
DESTROY OUR ENTIRE TOURIST
INDUSTRY.
WE CAN'T DO IT.
SO I HOPE THE BUREAUCRATS
ARE LISTENING.
I CAN'T SAY I LOVE YOU, BUT
I GUESS YOU'RE TRYING TO DO
YOUR JOB.
KRISTI?
Kristi: AND WHEN YOU DO
COME TO THE UNITED STATES,
COME TO VIRGINIA BEACH.
WHY NOT COME TO "THE 700
CLUB."
UP NEXT ON "THE 700 CLUB,"
THE ENTREPRENEUR WHO CUT
DOWN HIS HOURS, THEN BECAME
Kristi: ON THE TV SHOW,
"SECRET MILLIONAIRE," JEFF
HAD TO GO UNDERCOVER.
HE COULDN'T LIVE LAVISHLY,
HE HAD TO CUT EXPENSES, AND
COUNT EVERY PENNY.
FOR JEFF, HE DIDN'T REALLY
HAVE TO ACT.
BECAUSE NOT TOO LONG AGO, HE
USED TO BE IN THAT VERY
SITUATION.
Reporter: YOU MIGHT
RECOGNIZE JEFF FROM ABC'S
"THE SECRET MILLIONAIRE."
WHAT I HAVEN'T TOLD YOU
ABOUT 100% ABOUT ME IS I'M
ACTUALLY A VERY SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESSMAN.
Reporter: BEFORE JEFF
BECAME A MILLIONAIRE, HE WAS
$285,000 IN DEBT.
HE WORKED ENDLESS HOURS AND
NEVER SAW HIS FAMILY.
THEN JEFF GOT HIS PRIORITIES
RIGHT.
HE PUT HIS FAMILY FIRST AND
CUT BACK HIS HOURS BY 50%.
EIGHT MONTHS LATER, HE WAS
DEBT-FREE.
WITHIN 18 MONTHS, HE CREATED
A MULTI-MILLION INTERNET
COMPANY.
Kristi: JEFF IS ALSO
THE AUTHOR OF A NEW BOOK
ENTITLED "INTERNET
MILLIONAIRE, YOUR BLUEPRINT
TO SECOND."
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
Kristi: SECRET
MILLIONAIRE, WOULDN'T WE ALL
LIKE TO HAVE THAT TITLE.
WHEN WE THINK ABOUT BEING A
MILLIONAIRE, WE THINK MONEY
IS THE SOLUTION TO ALL OF
OUR PROBLEMS.
WELL, THERE IS A SEASON, YOU
KNOW, WHEN YOU KIND OF HAD
THE AMERICAN DREAM, AND YET
YOU HAD A LOT OF
CHALLENGES.
TAKE ME BACK TO THAT TIME.
IT WASN'T JUST FOUR YEARS
AGO -- FIVE YEARS AGO, I WAS
IN A HARD SITUATION.
I WAS DEEP IN DEBT.
I WAS LOOKING LONG, ENDLESS
HOURS.
I DIDN'T GET TO SEE MY WIFE,
DIDN'T GET TO SEE MY KIDS.
IT WAS REALLY A STRESSFUL
TIME FOR ME.
THERE WAS A MOMENT WHERE I
THOUGHT THINGS COULDN'T GET
ANY WORSE.
THAT'S WHEN I GOT THE PHONE
CALL FROM MY WIFE, AND
THAT'S THE KIND OF PHONE
CALL YOU DON'T WANT TO GET.
SHE WAS ABOUT NINE MONTHS
PREGNANT WITH OUR THIRD BOY,
JAMES.
AND WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT
BRINGING JAMES INTO THE
WORLD, AND SHE WAS BALLING
ON THE OTHER END OF THE
LINE.
AND JUST SAYING, YOU KNOW,
THERE IS NO HEART BEAT.
SHE HAD BEEN AT ONE OF HER
LAST CHECKUPS BEFORE WE
DELIVERED.
AND THAT LED INTO A REALLY
BIG DOWNWARD SPIRAL FOR ME.
AND IT LED TO ONE OF THE
HARDEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE
THE NEXT DAY.
Kristi: SO YOU BOTH
LOST THAT CHILD.
UH-HUH.
Kristi: AND DURING THIS
TIME, I'M JUST CURIOUS, WHAT
WAS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH
THE LORD LIKE?
WAS IT AT THE POINT WHERE
WORK WAS FIRST, GOD WAS
FIRST -- TELL ME YOUR LIFE?
JEFF WAS FIRST.
WORK WAS FIRST IN MY LIFE.
I WAS SACRIFICING A LOT,
GOING AFTER A DREAM THAT I
HAD, AND I WAS SACRIFICING
EVERYTHING.
AND AFTER JAMES, WE
DELIVERED HIM, AND THE THING
THAT MAYBE A LOT OF PEOPLE
DON'T UNDERSTAND, AFTER A
BABY DIES IN THE WOMB, YOU
STILL HAVE TO DELIVER THE
BABY.
YOU GO THROUGH CHILDBIRTH,
AND WATCHING MY WIFE GO
THROUGH THAT -- I KNEW SHE
WAS AMAZING, BUT SHE IS ONE
OF THE STRONGEST WOMEN I
KNOW.
HOLDING HIM FOR TWO DAYS,
HIS COLD BODY.
THAT'S WHAT GOT US THROUGH
THAT, THAT HE WOULD BE ALIVE
WHEN HE WAS BORN.
AND TO ANOTHER CHALLENGE
WHEN I WAS AT THE GYM
WORKING OUT, JUST DOING A
WARMUP SESSION, AND I GOT
NAUSEOUS, I WAS DIZZY, AND
MY FACE WAS NUMB.
MY WIFE WAS LIKE, YOU NEED
TO GO TO THE DOCTOR.
I WENT TO THE DOCTOR, AND
THEY GAVE ME A C.A.T. SCAN
IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM.
I GET A PHONE CALL FROM THE
DOCTOR SAYING YOU NEED TO
RUSH BACK HERE NOW, YOU'VE
HAD A MAJOR STROKE.
I WAS LIKE WOW, BECAUSE I
WAS 34 YEARS OLD, AND I ATE
HEALTHY AND WORKED OUT, BUT
IT WAS A VERY STRESSFUL PART
OF MY LIFE.
BEFORE I LEFT TO GO BACK TO
THE HOSPITAL, I HAD TWO
PEOPLE PRAY OVER ME.
BECAUSE I HAD SEEN HEALINGS
WITH OTHER PEOPLE, BUT I
NEVER EXPERIENCED MYSELF.
THEY PRAYED OVER ME.
AND I DIDN'T FEEL ANYTHING
THEN.
BUT AS I'M DRIVING TO THE
HOSPITAL, I FELT SOMETHING
HIT ME, AND I WAS LIKE, WOW,
I WAS JUST HEALED.
I STILL HAD TO SHOW UP AT
THE HOSPITAL, THE SAME ONE
WE JUST LOST OUR SON AT.
THIS TIME I'M THE ONE GOING
IN FOUR TESTS.
I WENT THROUGH A DAY OF
TESTS OVERNIGHT.
THEY SAID, WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO TELL YOU, BUT IT IS
GONE.
THE BLOC BLOCKAGE YOU HAD,
THE ARTERIES, THE EVENT THAT
HAPPENED IN YOUR HEAD IS NO
LONGER THERE.
Kristi: TRULY AMAZING.
YOU SAW THE WORK OF GOD IN
YOUR LIFE.
WHAT WAS IT THAT ALL OF A
SUDDEN CHANGED YOUR
PARADIGM.
YOU'RE A SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESSMAN, BUT DEEP IN
DEBT, YOU HAD A THIRD BABY
THAT WENT ON TO BE WITH THE
LORD, A STROKE AT THE AGE OF
34, HEALS YOUR SON IN
HEAVEN.
DO YOU KIND OF LOOK AT YOUR
LIFE AND SAY, OKAY, LORD,
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL
ME?
YOU THINK YOU WOULD GET
TO THE POINT WHERE YOU
THINK, SOMETHING HAS GOT TO
CHANGE.
BUT I STILL WENT ON.
THERE WAS A MOMENT I WENT ON
WITH WORK, AND LOOKING AT
THE DINNER TABLE AND NOT
KNOWING HOW I'M GOING TO BE
ABLE TO PUT FOOD ON THE
TABLE FOR MY FAMILY.
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES, AND I
SAID, LORD, I CAN'T DO
THIS.
THAT WAS A BIG MOMENT,
GIVING IT OVER TO HIM.
WHEN YOU DO THAT, HE QUICKLY
SHOWED UP.
I HAD TO GO THROUGH
DEVELOPING SOME SKILL SETS.
BECAUSE HE WAS BASICALLY
GIVING ME WHAT I COULD
HANDLE FINANCIAL.
I GOT OUT OF DEBT IN ABOUT
EIGHT MONTHS.
I FOLLOWED A COURSE, GOT OUT
OF DEBT, AND MY LIFE WAS
TRANSFORMED AFTER THAT.
Kristi: TAKE ME TO THE
HOW.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
GOING THROUGH A LOT OF
SITUATIONS, THEY ARE IN
DEBT, AND THEIR FAMILY SEEMS
TO BE IN TURMOIL.
YOU REDIRECTED YOUR ENTIRE
LIFE.
YOU PUT GOD UP HERE, AND
WHAT DID YOU DO WITH YOUR
BUSINESS.
TELL ME WHAT YOU DID.
GOD WENT NUMBER ONE.
I PUT MY WIFE NUMBER TWO.
AND MY KIDS THERE, AND WORK
LAST.
I CUT BACK ABOUT 50% OF MY
HOURS.
AND I STARTED TO TRUST HE
WOULD PROVIDE.
HE IS JEHOVAH JIREH.
HE IS THE PROVIDER.
I STILL STRUGGLED IN
BUSINESS, BUT THERE WAS A
MOMENT, ABOUT THREE YEARS
AGO, WHEN I WAS SITTING AT
MY DESK -- I WAS WORKING AT
HOME.
I SAID, I'M DONE AT THE
OFFICE.
I WANT TO BE AT HOME WITH MY
KIDS.
I'VE MISSED OUT ON THEIR
LIVES.
I WAS SITTING AT MY DESK AND
I WAS STRUGGLING, AND HE
SAID, DO YOU WANT ME TO SHOW
YOU HOW DO THAT?
AND I SAID YES.
AND IT'S GONE ON TO CREATE
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, AND
THAT'S ALL IN JUST A FEW
YEARS.
THAT'S WHAT I PUT IN THE
BOOK, THAT EXACT THING HE
GAVE ME.
Kristi: AMAZING, YOU
PUT THINGS BACK IN GOD'S
ORDER, PUT HIM AT THE HEAD,
AND GOD BLESSED YOU.
AND YOU HAVE BECOME THAT
"SECRET MILLIONAIRE."
DON'T TELL ANYBODY.
REALLY QUICK, WE CAN'T HAVE
YOU LEAVE WITHOUT TALKING
ABOUT THE SHOW.
TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT THIS
SHOW, "THE SECRET
MILLIONAIRE."
THEY SHOW UP AT YOUR
HOUSE AND SPEND THE DAY WITH
YOU.
AND THEN THEY GET IN THE CAB
AND AS SOON AS THAT DOOR
CLOSES, YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE
YOU'RE GOING.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE
LIVING ON WELFARE WAGES IN
AN IMPOVERISHED AREA.
WE DROVE PAST THE SAN
ANTONIO AIRPORT, PAST MY
HOUSE.
THEY DROVE ME TO THE WEST
SIDE OF SAN ANTONIO, WHERE
I'VE NEVER BEEN.
YOU GO AND SERVE IN THREE
ORGANIZATIONS, AND THEY
THINK YOU'RE JUST DOING A
DOCUMENTARY ON VOLUNTEERING
ON THEIR ORGANIZATIONS.
I SERVED THERE, AND I HELPED
THE HABITAT FOR SAFE
SENIORS.
I HELPED THE TEAM THAT HELPS
MULTIPLE DISABLED KIDS.
AND KEEPING KIDS OUT OF
GANGS.
BY THE END OF THE WEEK, YOU
SAY, HEY, GUESS WHAT, "I'M A
MILLIONAIRE."
IT IS A WEIRD THING FOR ME
TO SAY, BUT YOU HAVE TO SAY
THAT.
YOU HAVE TO REVEAL WHO YOU
ARE AND GIVE A DONATION.
Kristi: YOU'VE LEARNED
A LOT IN LIFE.
WHAT'S THE MAIN THING YOU
WANT TO SHARE WITH OUR
VIEWERS IN TERMS OF WHAT GOD
MINISTERS TO YOU ABOUT?
JUST KEEPING GOD FIRST.
WHEN YOU WAKE UP, SEEK HIM
FIRST.
PRAY AND SAY, GOD THIS IS
YOUR DAY, LET YOUR WILL BE
DONE.
WALKING THROUGH THE LORD'S
PRAYER, LIKE I DO WITH MY
KIDS EVERY DAY.
SUBMIT TO HIM AND LET HIM
GUIDE YOU AND GET OUT OF
YOUR OWN WAY.
Kristi: THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR BEING HERE, JEFF.
THE GREAT MILLIONAIRE TIPS,
IF YOU WANT THEM, WHICH I'M
SURE WE ALL WANT, IS IN
JEFF'S BOOK, CALLED "THE
SECRET MILLIONAIRE."
YOU CAN LOG ON TO cbn.com
AND FIND OUT SOME
INFORMATION ON HIS BOOK.
AND YOU CAN ALSO WATCH
"SECRET MILLIONAIRE," AT
8 P.M. EASTERN STANDARD
TIME.
IT IS A SECRET, THE WHOLE
MILLIONAIRE THING.
I'M JUST KIDDING.
PAT, OVER TO YOU.
Pat: I CONGRATULATE
ABC.
IT IS A TERRIFIC PROGRAM.
IT IS VERY HEART-WARMING.
IT IS LIKE THE ONES THAT
BUILD HOUSES FOR PEOPLE.
THEY WANT TO GIVE AND
ENCOURAGE, AND THIS IS
ENCOURAGEMENT.
STILL AHEAD, A LOOK BACK AT
ONE OF THE MOST SHOCKING
POINTS OF AMERICAN LAW

THE DEADLY RUBY RIDGE
INNOCENT A -- INCIDENT AS
TOLD BY A WOMAN WHO'S MOTHER
WAS SHOT BY FEDERAL AGENTS
ON THE PORCH OF THEIR
HOUSE.
WHERE I WAS, AND WHERE
DAD WAS -- I SHOULD BE
DEAD.
BECAUSE I WAS RIGHT NEXT TO
HER.
Pat: FIND OUT WHAT
HAPPENED TO HER AFTER THE
MASSACRE.
COMING UP NEXT.
Reporter: WELCOME BACK
TO WASHINGTON FOR THIS CBN
NEWSBREAK.
THE KENTUCKY SUPREME COURT
REFUSED TO HEAR A CHALLENGE
TO A REFERENCE OF GOD IN THE
STATE'S HOMELAND SECURITY
LAW.
THE GROUP AMERICAN ATHEISTS
CHALLENGED THE REFERENCE
BACK IN 2008, SAYING IT WAS
A VIOLATION OF
CONSTITUTIONAL BANDS ON
STATE-SPONSORED RELIGION.
THE KENTUCKY COURT OF APPEAL
UPHELD THE RULING TO
ALMIGHTY GOD.
A PENNSYLVANIA SCHOOL BOARD
IS FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHT TO
PRAY AT THE BEGINNING OF
MEETINGS.
TWO ATHEIST GROUPS ARE
CHALLENGING THE PRACTICE.
A MEMBER SAYS THE PRAYER IS,
QUOTE,"A CLEAR
CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATION."
THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
SAYS HE HAS BEEN ATTENDING
MEETINGS FOR A QUARTER OF A
CENTURY, AND THE MEETINGS
HAVE ALWAYS STARTED WITH THE
LORD'S PRAYER.
YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE
LATEST NEWS BY GOING TO OUR

PAT AND KRISTI WILL BE BACK
WITH MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB"
AFTER THIS.
Pat: SOME YEARS AGO,
THERE WAS AN
ATTORNEY-GENERAL OF AMERICA
WHO'S NAME WAS JANET RENO.
AND UNDER HER
ADMINISTRATION, ONE GROUP OF
SO-CALLED CULTISTS WERE
BURNED ALIVE IN A PLACE THEY
HAD IN WACO, TEXAS.
AND SOMEBODY ELSE WAS SHOT
DEAD ON A PORCH OF A PLACE
CALLED RUBY RIDGE.
AND ON THIS DAY, 20 YEARS
AGO, FEDERAL AGENTS
SURROUNDED THE PROPERTY OF
RANDY WEAVER.
THIS IS A STANDOFF THAT
LASTED FOR 12 DAYS.
BUT FOR RANDY'S DAUGHTER,
SARAH, THE TRAUMA OF THAT
EPISODE LASTED FOR NEARLY 12
YEARS.
Reporter: THE RUBY
RIDGE INCIDENT OF 1992 WAS
AN INFAMOUS STANDOFF
INVOLVING THE F.B.I., THE
U.S. MARSHALS, AND THE
BARRICADED FAMILY OF RANDY
WEAVER.
EARLIER RANDY WAS ARRESTED
ON FEDERAL FIREARMS CHARGES
FOR MAKING SAWED-OFF
SHOTGUNS.
AFTER HE MISSED HIS COURT
DATE, HE WAS DECLARED A
FUGITIVE.
THAT'S WHEN BAD TURNED TO
WORSE.
HIS DAUGHTER, SARAH, WAS
ONLY 16 YEARS OLD.
I REMEMBER A DOG SOUNDING
THE ALARM.
THEY STARTED BARKING, AND I
THOUGHT, MAYBE SOMEBODY IS
COMING UP TO VISIT, MAYBE IT
IS A FRIEND OF MINE.
IT IS EXCITING FOR US TO
HAVE COMPANY.
Reporter: DOWN THE PATH
FROM THE HOUSE, U.S.
MARSHALS CONFRONTED RANDY,
SARAH'S BROTHER, AND A
FRIEND.
SARAH HEARD GUNFIRE.
THAT SHOCKED ME AND
FREAKED ME OUT.
I KNEW SOMETHING BAD WAS
HAPPENING.
Reporter: THE U.S.
MARSHAL WHO FIRED THE FIRST
SHOT, AND SARAH'S BROTHER
SAM, WERE SHOT AND KILLED IN
THE SKIRMISH.
HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE
WAS RUNNING INTO THAT DAY.
HE WAS 14.
HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND.
Reporter: THE STANDOFF
CONTINUED UNTIL THE NEXT
DAY.
AND THERE WAS ONE MORE
VICTIM.
SARAH'S MOTHER, VICKI, WAS
SHOT AND KILLED WHILE
STANDING ON HER FRONT
PORCH.
SARAH WAS STANDING RIGHT
BESIDE HER MOM WHEN IT
HAPPENED.
WHERE I WAS, WHERE SHE
WAS, WHERE DAD WAS -- I
SHOULD BE DEAD BECAUSE I WAS
RIGHT NEXT TO HER.
I STRUGGLED WITH THAT FOR A
LOT OF YEARS, WHY AM I STILL
ALIVE?
Reporter: RANDY WAS
SENTENCED TO 18 MONTHS IN
PRISON FOR HIS ORIGINAL
FAILURE TO
APPEAR
IN
COURT.
SARAH AND HER SISTERS MOVED
TO IOWA TO LIVE WITH THEIR
MATERNAL GRANDPARENTS.
IT WAS HARD BECAUSE THEY
WERE GRIEVING, WE WERE
GRIEVING.
IT WAS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT
WORLD THAN WE WERE USED TO.
I FELT LIKE AN ALIEN MOST OF
THE TIME.
SO IT IS HARD TO MAKE
FRIENDS ANYWAY, AND THEN TO
CARRY ALL
OF THAT STUFF, IT
WAS TOUGH.
Reporter: SARAH
FINISHED HIGH SCHOOL AND
MOVED WITH HER SISTERS TO
GRAND JUNCTION, IOWA.
TO BE WITH THEIR DAD, WHO
WAS RELEASED FROM PRISON.
HAVING HIM HOME WAS A
HUGE RELIEF.
I WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT
THAT.
Reporter: THREE YEARS
LATER IN A WRONGFUL DEATH
SUIT AGAINST THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT, SARAH AND HER
FAMILY WON A $3.1 MILLION
SETTLEMENT.
$100,000 TO RANDY, AND
$1 MILLION TO EACH
DAUGHTER.
MY THOUGHT WAS, REALLY?
LIKE, WOULD YOU TRADE YOUR
MOM AND YOUR BROTHER FOR
THAT?
Reporter: SARAH USED
HER MONEY TO BUY SOME LAND
IN MARION, MONTANA.
SHE AND HER FIANCE, DAVID,
MOVED THERE IN 1997.
I MISSED THE MOUNTAINS.
THEY WERE IN MY BLOOD.
Reporter: IN 2001,
SARAH AND DAVID HAD A SON,
INTRODUC DAWSET, AND MOVED
INTO THEIR NEW HOME.
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A JOYOUS
OCCASION, BUT SARAH WAS
MISERABLE.
IF I COULD MOVE INTO THE
HOUSE, I'LL BE HAPPY.
IF I COULD JUST BE THIN,
I'LL BE HAPPY.
MY THEN HUSBAND HANDED ME A
PEN AND PIECE OF PAPER AND
SAID, WRITE DOWN WHAT IS
GOING TO MAKE YOU HAPPY.
I HAD NOTHING.
I WAS SICK AND TIRED OF
BEING DEPRESSED.
I HAD HIT ROCK BOTTOM, AND I
DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO GO FROM
THERE.
AND I STARTED TO SEARCH.
AND ONE DAY MY BEST FRIEND,
MARIA, FROM RUBY RIDGE, WHO
I HAD BEEN FRIENDS WITH
FOREVER, CAME TO VISIT ME.
Reporter: IT WAS
PERFECT TIMING.
MARIA TOLD SARAH ABOUT THE
JOY AND PEACE FOUND ONLY IN
JESUS CHRIST.
SHE LOOKED ME IN THE EYE,
AND SHE SAID I KNOW JESUS
CHRIST AS MY LORD AND
SAVIOR.
AND SHE DIDN'T ARGUE WITH ME
OR TRY TO DEBATE THINGS WITH
ME.
SHE JUST MADE THAT
STATEMENT.
IT WOULD NOT LEAVE ME ALONE
FOR ANYTHING.
I HAD KNOWN HER FOR YEARS,
AND I TRUSTED HER AND
BELIEVED HER WHEN SHE SAID
IT.
EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T KNOW
REALLY WHO HE WAS.
Reporter: SARAH HAD THE
URGE TO READ HER BIBLE.
I WENT TO JOHN 3: 16.
IT WAS THE ONLY VERSE I HAD
KNOWN.
AND I READ IT.
WHAT HAPPENED IS THE
BEGINNING OF A HUGE CHANGE
FOR ME.
I FELT MY DEPRESSION START
TO LIFT.
I WANTED TO READ MORE AND
MORE AND MORE
OF THE BIBLE.
IT WAS LIKE GOD WAS SPEAKING
DIRECTLY TO ME.
IT WAS LIFE CHANGING.
IT WAS FREEDOM.
IT WAS PEACE.
IT WAS JOY.
IT WAS EVERYTHING THAT WAS
MISSING.
IT WAS THAT HOLE IN MY HEART
THAT JUST STARTED GETTING
FILLED UP.
Reporter: AS SARAH GREW
CLOSER TO GOD, HER HUSBAND
GREW FURTHER AWAY.
THE MORE I CHASED AFTER
GOD, AND IN HIS WILL FOR MY
LIFE, AND THE CLOSER I GOT
TO THE LORD, IT SEEMED THE
BIGGER THE GAP GOT IN MY
RELATIONSHIP.
Reporter: SARAH AND
DAVID DIVORCED IN 2007.
IT REALLY CHALLENGED MY
FAITH.
AND GOD SHOWED ME THAT HE
WAS FAITHFUL THROUGH IT.
Reporter: SHE MARRIED
MARK ON VALENTINE'S DAY OF
2010.
EVERY DAY IS AN ADVENTURE
WITH GOD AND WITH MY
HUSBAND.
Reporter: AS GOD HAS
FORGIVEN SARAH, SHE
UNDERSTOOD SHE NEEDED TO
FORGIVE OTHERS.
INCLUDING THE MEN WHO KILLED
BEN AND HER MOTHER.
IF JESUS CAN FORGIVE THE
MEN WHO KILLED HIM ON THE
CROSS, I CAN FORGIVE.
FORGIVENESS, HANDS DOWN, IS
THE POINT OF THIS STORY.
IT IS THE REASON I'M TALKING
ABOUT RUBY RIDGE AGAIN.
I'LL NEVER FORGET WHAT
HAPPENED, AND I LIVE WITH
WHAT THEY DID EVERY SINGLE
DAY, BUT MY HOPE FOR THEM IS
THEY WOULD FIND THE SAME
FREEDOM IN CHRIST THAT I
HAVE FOUND.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
GOD HAS IN STORE FOR ME
TOMORROW, LET ALONE YEARS
FROM NOW.
AND THAT'S WHAT'S SO
AWESOME.
IT'S WHAT'S SO EXCITING
BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN TRUST
HIM WITH MY LIFE AND I'M
NEVER ALONE.
Pat: OUT OF TRAGEDY
COMES TRIUMPH.
THE TRIUMPH, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, ALWAYS COMES WHEN
A PERSON RECEIVES JESUS.
AND IS ABLE TO FORGIVE, EVEN
AS HE HAS.
THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT
WILL EAT YOUR SPIRIT LIKE
HATRED AND BITTERNESS AND
UNFORGIVENESS.
YOU HATE SOMEBODY, AND YOU
CARRY IT WITH YOU.
AND IT CORRODES LIKE A
CANCER.
AND WHAT SARAH HAS FOUND IS
IF JESUS CHRIST CAN FORGIVE
ME, IF HE CAN FORGIVE THE
PEOPLE WHO PUT HIM ON THE
CROSS, "FATHER FORGIVE THEM,
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
DOING" -- IF JESUS CAN DO
THAT, FORGIVE THOSE PEOPLE,
SURELY I CAN FORGIVE
SOMEBODY WHO HAS DONE
SOMETHING TO ME.
AND OUT OF THAT FORGIVENESS
COMES PEACE AND JOY AND
HOPE.
THINK IN YOUR OWN LIFE, WHO
HAS DONE YOU WRONG?
WHO HAS MOLESTED YOU?
WHO HAS BEAT YOU?
WHO HAS CURSED?
WHO HAS MOCKED YOU?
WHO HAS MADE FUN OF YOU?
WHO HAS DONE ALL OF THESE
THINGS?
AND IF YOU WANT FREEDOM, YOU
WANT REAL FREEDOM, JUST SAY,
LORD, YOU FORGIVE ME.
I RECEIVE YOUR FORGIVENESS,
AND NOW I FORGIVE KNOWS WHO
HURT ME.
AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS IN
YOUR LIFE.
NOW, IF YOU WANT FURTHER
PRAYER, IF YOU WANT SOMEBODY
TO PRAY WITH YOU AND TALK
ABOUT THIS, I WANT YOU TO GO
TO YOUR TELEPHONES AND CALL
IN.
WE HAVE FOLKS ON THE PHONES
WHO ARE VERY SYMPATHETIC.
THEY LOVE YOU, LOVE THE
LORD, AND THEY KNOW HOW TO
DEAL WITH YOUR PROBLEMS.
SO IF YOU JUST CALL IN,
SOMEBODY IS HERE.
NO MONEY INVOLVED, IN
FINANCES.
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO GIVE
US YOUR NAME, IF YOU DON'T
WANT TO.
THE PHONE NUMBER IS
AVAILABLE, TOLL-FREE,
1-800-759-0700.
HERE IS KRISTI.
Kristi: THANK YOU,
PAT.
GOOD MINISTRY.
GOOD STORY.
COMING UP, A FARM BOY
FIGHTING FOR HIS HEALTH GETS
A POWERFUL PARTNER FOR THE
BATTLE.
AND THEN LATER ON "THE 700
CLUB," GUESS WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN?
WE'RE GOING TO TACKLE YOUR
E-MAIL QUESTIONS.
VALERIE SAYS, "CAN I FAST
FOR SOMEONE'S HEALING AND
FOR THEIR CHAINS TO BE
BROKEN OFF OF THEM?
AND IF I DO, HOW DO I GO
ABOUT DOING THIS?"
PAT IS GOING TO ANSWER YOUR
QUESTIONS AND SO MUCH MORE.
SO DON'T GO AWAY.
HEY, BEN, HOW ARE YOU?
Pat: OKAY.
Kristi: WELL, EVERY
YEAR "OPERATION BLESSING"
PROVIDES FREE MEDICAL CARE
FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ALL
AROUND THE WORLD.
LIKE THIS ONE CUTE, LITTLE
PUMPKIN PIE BOY IN GUATEMALA
WHO WAS BADLY IN NEED OF
SURGERY.
TAKE A LOOK.
NOBODY ENJOYS LIFE ON THE
FARM MORE THAN 8-YEAR-OLD
ANGEL GASTOFO.
HIS FATHER IS A CARETAKER
THERE, AND ANGEL LOVES TO
HIP HIS DAD WHEN HE CAN.
I HAVE MANY JOBS.
I PICK THE TREES AND THE
DIRECT PALM TREES.
Reporter: EVERYTHING
WAS GOING WELL FOR ANGEL
UNTIL HE DEVELOPED A PAINFUL
HERNIA.
I TOLD MY MOM THAT THE
HERNIA HURTS SO BAD I
COULDN'T SLEEP.
WE TOOK ANGEL TO THE
DOCTOR.
AND HE SAID OUR SON NEEDED A
SURGERY.
BUT WE CANNOT AFFORD THAT.
AT NIGHT, I CRIED WITH HIM.
I TRIED TO SIT AT HIS
BEDSIDE, BUT I COULDN'T DO
ANYTHING TO HELP HIM.
Reporter: WHEN
"OPERATION BLESSING" LEARNED
ABOUT ANGEL'S CONDITION, WE
QUICKLY ARRANGED FOR THE
SURGERY TO REPAIR THE
HERNIA.
ANGEL RECOVERED, AND JUST A
FEW WEEKS LATER, HE WAS AS
ACTIVE AS EVER, BACK ON THE
FARM, WORKING HARD AND
HAVING FUN.
I FEEL LIKE THE HAPPIEST
MAN IN THE WORLD TO SEE HIM
RUN AND HAVE FUN WITH HIS
FRIENDS.
I AM SO HAPPY THAT HE IS
NOT IN PAIN ANYMORE.
Translator: THANKS,
"OPERATION BLESSING,"
BECAUSE YOU GAVE ME THAT
SURGERY, AND NOW I
CAN DO
EVERYTHING I WANT.
Kristi: I LOVE THAT.
OKAY, I HAVE TO TELL YOU A
SECRET ABOUT MYSELF.
YOU KNOW WHAT MY KRYPTONITE
IS?
MY KRYPTONITE IS WHEN I SEE
A YOUNG BABY, A YOUNG CHILD,
WHO IS HURT.
THAT IS MY WEAKNESS.
ISN'T THAT YOUR WEAKNESS,
TOO?
Pat: YEAH.
Kristi: YOU KNOW WHAT
IS SO COOL, PAT, EVEN THOUGH
WE SEE KIDS HURT, WE CAN
HELP, RIGHT?
Pat: IT IS SO
BEAUTIFUL.
Kristi: AND YOU DID.
YOU HELPED THAT LITTLE BOY
WHO HAD TO HAVE THAT HERNIA
SURGERY.
Pat: AND IT IS SUCH A
LITTLE AMOUNT OF MONEY AND
THEY SUFFER.
WE HAVE SUCH UNBELIEVABLE
MEDICINE HERE IN AMERICA.
Kristi: UH-HUH.
Pat: UNBELIEVABLE.
I HAVE HAD OCCASION TO
INTERACT WITH VARIOUS
MEDICAL PROVIDERS, AND IT IS
UNBELIEVABLE, THE THINGS WE
HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY.
AND YOU GO TO GUATEMALA, AND
THEY'VE GOT NONE OF THAT.
Kristi: NONE OF IT.
COME ON.
Pat: A FEW DOLLARS.
Kristi: AND WE HAVE
IT.
Pat: AND WE CAN CHANGE
A LITTLE BOY'S LIFE.
HALLELUJAH.
GO TO THE PHONES.
CALL IN.
AND WE'LL SEND YOU
SOMETHING.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO SEND
THEM.
Kristi: HOW ABOUT IF I
HOLD IT UP, AND YOU TELL
THEM ABOUT IT.
Pat: HERE SHE IS.
"THE THREE BLESSINGS."
WHAT DID I ASK GOD FOR?
YOU ASK THE LORD THREE
PRAYER REQUESTS, AND THERE
IT IS.
"THE THREE BLESSINGS."
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I WAS
PRAYING FOR, AND ASKING GOD
FOR, AND HE HAS RICHLY
REWARDED ME.
Kristi: WE'RE NOT GOING
TO TELL HIM WHAT THE
BLESSINGS ARE, THOUGH, PAT.
YOU'VE GOT TO CALL.
Pat: 20 BUCKS.
Kristi: I DO HAVE TO
TALK ABOUT THE VIEWER
COMMENT.
EMMA FROM NORTH CAROLINA,
SHE LOVES IT.
SHE SAYS "THE THREE
BLESSINGS HAS BEEN A GREAT
LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR ME.
IT HAS HELPED ME GROW IN MY
FAITH.
AND CAN I TELL YOU I'M A
PROUD MEMBER OF "THE 700
CLUB."
Pat: UP NEXT, IT IS
TIME FOR YOUR E-MAIL
QUESTIONS FROM OUR IN BOX.
Kristi: IN BOX.
Pat: A VIEWER
WRITES, "PLEASE EXPLAIN TO
ME IF WE'RE ALL EQUAL, WHY
ARE THE JEWS CALLED THE
CHOSEN ONES?"
WE'LL BRING IT ALL ON WITH
THAT AND MORE AFTER THIS.
Kristi: OKAY.
I'M LAUGHING AT THIS MUSIC,
BECAUSE I'M LIKE, WHAT, ARE
WE BACK INTO THE '70s.
SHOULD I START DOING THE
ROBOT.
Pat: I NEVER DID THAT.
BUT YOU DO THAT.
Kristi: I WOULD LOVE TO
SEE YOU DO THE ROBOT.
THAT WOULD MAKE MY DAY.
Pat: I'M NOT GOING TO
MAKE YOUR DAY TODAY.
WHAT'S THE QUESTION?
Kristi: VALERIE WRITES,
"I HAVE NEVER FASTED BEFORE,
BUT I HAVE HEARD THAT
SOMEONE SHOULD FAST AND PRAY
WHEN THEY REALLY WANT TO BE
CLOSER TO GOD.
CAN I FAST FOR SOMEONE
ELSE'S HEALING AND FOR THEIR
CHAINS TO BE BROKEN OFF.
MY SISTER LOVES THE LORD SO
MUCH, BUT IS STRUGGLING."
I'LL LET IT GO FROM THERE.
Pat: THERE ARE A WHOLE
NUMBER OF FASTS.
BUT THE BIGGEST FAST IS
YOU'RE GIVING YOUR HEART TO
THE LORD, AND YOU'RE TAKING
TIME FOR HIM, AND YOUR
SPIRIT IS GOING CLOSE TO
HIM.
NOW, YOU CAN DENY YOURSELF
FOOD, OR YOU CAN DRINK
JUICE.
IN THE CASE OF DANIEL, HE
DIDN'T EAT ANY MEAT OR
SWEETS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME,
NO PLEASANT BREADS.
IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE LORD
SPEAKS TO YOU ABOUT.
THE BIGGEST THING IS I'M
GOING TO GIVE MYSELF TO
PRAYER TO GOD.
THAT'S WHAT A FAST IS.
AND, YES, YOU CAN FAST THAT
PEOPLE BE SET FREE FROM
BONDAGE, NO QUESTION.
Kristi: NEXT QUESTION,
"PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME, IF
WE'RE ALL EQUAL, THEN WHY
ARE THE JUICE TH JEWS THE
CHOSEN ONES."
Pat: I THINK GOD CHOSE
ME TO BE ON TELEVISION.
AND HE CHOSE KRISTI TO BE
DOING SOMETHING ON
TELEVISION.
DO YOU FEEL CHOSEN?
Kristi: I FEEL CHOSEN.
Pat: I FEEL CHOSEN.
WELL, THE JEWS WERE CHOSEN
TO HAVE THE ORI CAL ORICALS
OF GOD.
IT WAS THROUGH THEIR LINE,
ABRAHAM ON DOWN THE LINE
THROUGH MARY AND JOSEPH.
THEY WERE CHOSEN FOR THAT,
TO RECEIVE THE ORICLES OF
GOD.
WE'RE ALL CHOSEN.
YOU'RE CHOSEN FOR
SOMETHING.
GOD HAS A ROLE FOR
EVERYONE.
I THINK EVERYONE NEEDS TO
UNDERSTAND THERE IS A
DESTINY FOR EVERY ONE OF
US.
THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID I'M
LAYING HOLD OF THIS.
BUT I WILL LAY HOLD OF THE
REASON THAT GOD LAID HOLD OF
ME.
THE APOSTLE PAUL, YOU KNOW
WHAT HE DID.
HE WROTE ALL OF THESE
WONDERFUL BOOKS.
HE WAS AN APOSTLE.
SO HE HAD HIS CALLING.
HE SAID, THAT'S THE REASON
CHRIST LAID HOLD OF ME.
Kristi: KAREN SAID, "IS
THE NAMING OF ANGELS, OTHER
THAN MICHAEL AND GABRIEL
NAMED IN THE BIBLE, OKAY?
I WAS TOLD THE NAME DINA IS
THE ANGEL WHO ACQUIRES
THIRST, AND HIS ANGEL HAS
TAUGHT HUMAN HOW TO SPEAK.
HOWEVER, IT DOESN'T LINE UP
TO GOD'S WORLD.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF PEOPLE
BELIEVE THE ANGELS NAMES
SHOULD BE WORSHIPPED?"
Pat: DON'T DO IT.
DON'T WORSHIP NAMES.
DINA -- I THOUGHT SHE WAS A
SINGER.
HER NAME WAS DIANAH SHORE.
Kristi: SHE ASKS, "CAN
ADULTERY BE FORGIVEN BY
GOD?"
Pat: OF COURSE.
ALL SINS CAN BE FORGIVEN BY
CHRIST.
WE'RE ALL SINNERS, AND WE'VE
ALL FALLEN SHORT FROM THE
GLORY OF GOD.
WE'VE ALL SINNED.
OF COURSE ADULTERY CAN BE
FORGIVEN.
THE THING IS CONFESS YOUR
SIN AND FORSAKE YOUR SIN AND
ASK THE LORD FOR CLEANSING,
AND HE WILL DO IT.
SEVEN TIMES 70, HE WILL DO
IT.
HE WILL FORGIVE YOU.
THANK GOD HE FORGIVES US.
I COULDN'T STAND IT IF HE
COULDN'T FORGIVE ME BECAUSE
I DO SO MANY THINGS THAT ARE
DISPLEASING TO HIM.
A GREAT MAN OF GOD SAID
THERE ISN'T ONE MAN I DON'T
POLICPLEASE THE BLOOD OF
CHRIST.
TOMORROW, RON DEAL, MICHELLE
McKINNEY HAMMOND, THEY
ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM
SINGLES IN OUR "VOICE OF
HOPE SERIES" WE LEAVE TODAY
WITH THESE WORDS FROM
PROVERBS: "TRUST IN THE LORD
WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART, IN
ALL YOUR WAYS KNOWLEDGE HIM,
AND HE WILL DIRECT YOUR
PATH."
SEE YOU
TOMORROW.
BYE-BYE.
