WE WERE HIT BY A DRUNK
DRIVER, WHO WAS GOING
80 MILES AN HOUR.
Reporter: WE KICK OFF
OUR ANNUAL WEEK OF PRAYER
WITH STORIES OF HEALINGS.
THEE WERE JUST TRYING TO
GET A PULSE.
Reporter:
PROTECTION...
EVERYTHING WENT BLACK.
AND WE WERE ALL KNOCKED
OUT.
IF JEN WAS GOING
TO LIVE
THROUGH THAT NIGHT, IT WAS
GOING TO BE THE POWER OF
PRAYER.
Reporter: ON TODAY'S
"700 CLUB."
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERS]
*
Pat: HEY!
WELCOME, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, TO THIS EDITION
OF "THE 700 CLUB."
TODAY IS ROSH HASHANAH.
ROSH HASHANAH.
Pat: THE BEGINNING OF
THE YEAR.
WE'VE GOT A CELEBRATION THAT
YOU COULD NOT BELIEVE.
IT WENT ON LAST NIGHT AS WE
KICKED OFF ROSH HASHANAH.
AND WE'RE ALSO STARTING 51
DAYS OF PRAYER FOR THIS
GREAT NATION.
AND WE HAVE WITH US A
WONDERFUL GROUP OF CBN
PARTNERS WHO HAVE COME IN
FROM ALL ACROSS THE NATION,
AND, FOLKS, GIVE YOURSELVES
A HAND.
WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE WITH
US.
GOD BLESS YOU.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A GOOD
TIME.
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERS]
HEY, PAT, YOU SAID THAT
OUR PARTNERS WERE FROM ALL
ACROSS THE NATION, BUT WE
ACTUALLY HAVE PARTNERS HERE
FROM LONDON, ENGLAND, AS
WELL.
Pat: WELL, PIP, PIP.
OKAY.
Kristi: WELL, THIS PAST
WEEKEND DAVID BRODY SAT DOWN
WITH PAUL RYAN, AND HE SAID
THE OBAMA'S ACTIONS TOWARDS
ISRAEL ORDER ON CONTEMPT.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW.
Reporter: THE MINUTE
PAUL RYAN CAME ON TO THE
SCENE, CONSERVATIVES
COULDN'T GET ENOUGH OF HIM,
HEAPING PRAISE ON THEIR
FRESH 42-YEAR-OLD IDEA MAN.
ALL OF THE ENERGY AND RAVE
REVIEWS, HOWEVER, HAVE NOT
TRANSLATED INTO A LEAD IN
THE POLLS AGAINST PRESIDENT
OBAMA.
AT LEAST NOT YET.
WHY DO YOU THINK HE IS
STILL LEADING IN THE POLLS
AT THIS POINT?
TWO THINGS, WE'RE TAKING
ON THE INCUMBENT PRESIDENT.
HE HAS ALL OF THE BENEFITS
OF INCOMEBENCY.
WHAT HE IS TRYING TO DO IS
MAKE MITT ROMNEY NOT A GOOD
ALTERNATIVE BECAUSE HE HAS
NO RECORD TO RUN ON.
Reporter: AND THEY CALL
HIM AN PO APOLOGIZER TO THE
CHIEF.
OF ALL TIMES, WHEN WE
NEED TO SHOW VERY LITTLE
DAYLIGHT, IF ANY, BETWEEN
OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH
ISRAEL, IT IS NOW.
SO I THINK THIS FRAYING
RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL,
BORDERING ON CONTEMPT, IS
THE WORST POSSIBLE THING WE
SHOULD BE DOING AT THIS
TIME.
Reporter: AS FOR THE
RECENT CHAOS IN THE MIDEAST,
RYAN SAYS IT IS TIME TO
RE-THINK THE MONEY THE
UNITED NATIONS SENDS TO
THOSE COUNTRIES.
WILL THE ROMNEY-RYAN
ADMINISTRATION TAKE A LOOK
AT CUTTING OFF --
IT'S TOO EARLY.
FIRST OF ALL, YOU DON'T HAVE
KNEE-JERK REACTIONS, BUT YOU
CLEARLY ASSESS THESE
THINGS.
Reporter: RYAN'S MAIN
LOVE IS ASSESSING NUMBERS.
HIS BREAD AND BUTTER IS THE
ECONOMY.
HIS PLAN TO RESTRUCTURE
MEDICARE AND TAKE SERIOUS
STEPS TO REIN IN SPENDING
HAS BEEN A FLASH POINT
DURING THIS RACE.
LIBERALS SEA THE CUTS TO
FEDERAL PROGRAMS AS
MEAN-SPIRITED.
RYAN MAINTAINS IT IS MORALLY
RIGHT TO BE FISCAL
RESPONSIBLE.
AND THE NOTION YOU CAN
DIVORCE THESE PRINCIPLES,
THESE MATTERS OF FAITH
BETWEEN PRIVATE LIFE AND
PUBLIC LIFE, IT DOESN'T JIVE
WITH THE THINKING OF A
CATHOLIC.
Reporter: THE CATHOLIC
RYAN IS ALSO INSULTED WITH
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S
DECISION TO FORCE CATHOLICS
TO VIOLENT THEIR CONSCIOUS,
BY FORCING THEM TO PAY FOR
ABORTIONS IN THE OBAMA
CARE.
UNDER THE ROMNEY
ADMINISTRATION, THIS IS
WRONG.
WE WILL NOT DO THIS.
Reporter: THIS WEEK THE
FED ANNOUNCED THE THIRD
ATTEMPT TO HELP STIMULATE
THE WEAK ECONOMY BY PUMPING
ANOTHER $40 MILLION IN IT.
I THINK IN THE LONG RUN
IT WILL DO MORE HARM.
THEY'RE TRYING TO BAIL OUT
THE FACT WE HAVE TERRIBLE
LEADERSHIP ON FISCAL POLICY
FROM PRESIDENT OBAMA.
Reporter: IF YOU KNOW
RYAN'S HISTORY, THE FACT
THAT HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL
IN LIFE SHOULDN'T BE TOO
SURPRISING.
AT AGE 16, HE HAD A
LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE,
THAT'S WHEN YOUNG PAUL
DISCOVERED HIS FATHER DEAD
AT HOME.
MY DAD'S SECRETARY CALLED
TO SAY WHERE IS HE.
HE HAS CLIENTS.
HE WAS A SMALL-TIME LAWYER.
I WENT TO WAKE HIM UP, AND
HE WAS DEAD.
HE DIED OF A HEART ATTACK IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
THAT IS SOMETHING NO PERSON
SHOULD EVER HAVE TO GO
THROUGH.
Reporter: HE CALLS IT A
PUNCH IN THE GUT, AND IT LED
TO SOME SOUL SEARCHING.
I BECAME STRONGER IN MY
FAITH.
IT WAS ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS
IN A PERSON'S LIFE THAT WAS
A PIVOTAL MOMENT.
I DECIDED I'M GOING TO TAKE
LIFE ON AND MAKE IT COUNT
BECAUSE IT IS PRECIOUS AND
SHORT.
Reporter: HE SURE IS
MAKING THE MOST OF HIS LIFE
SO FAR, AND NOBODY, NOT EVEN
RYAN HIMSELF, KNOWS EXACTLY
HOW THE STORY WILL
EVENTUALLY END.
DAVID BRODY, CBN NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
Pat: YOU CAN SEE MORE
OF DAVID'S INTERVIEW WITH
PAUL RYAN AND OTHER
NEWSMAKERS ON "THE BRODY
FILE."
IT AIRS ON FRIDAY ON THE
FAMILY CHANNEL AT 9:30 A.M.
AND SUSAN RICE, THE
AMBASSADOR FOR THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION, SAID ALL OF
THE TROUBLE THAT IS TAKING
PLACE, ALL OF THE RIOTS,
WERE CAUSED BY AN 11-MINUTE
VIDEO THAT WENT ON
YouTube.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
OBAMA POLICIES, IT HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH AMERICAN
POSTURE IN THE WORLD.
IT IS MUCH LIKE SALMON
RUSHTY, WHO WAS THE SUBJECT
OF A FATWAH ISSUED, WHERE
ALL MUSLIMS WERE TOLD TO
KILL HIM.
NEVERTHELESS, A VIDEO THAT
PROBABLY NO MUSLIM SAW IS
POSSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE
VIOLENCE AGAINST ALL OF THE
EMBASSIES.
HOW ABOUT THAT FOR SPIN?
WELL, LEE WEBB HAS MORE OF
OUR TOP STORIES IN THE CBN
NEWS ROOM.
Lee: PAT, WE WANT TO GO
BACK TO THE ISSUE OF
ISRAEL.
ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER
BENJAMIN
NETANYAHU TOOK TO
THE AMERICAN
AIRWAVES,
APPEALING TO THE U.S. VOTERS
TO ERECT A PRESIDENT WILLING
TO DRAW A RED LINE TO IRAN.
NETANYAHU TOLD "MEET THE
PRESS,"
IT TAKES MORE THAN
WORDS.
FOR ME, THE ISSUE AS THE
PRIME MINISTER OF A COUNTRY
THAT IS THREATENED BY A
REGIME THAT IS RACING A
BRUTAL
RESH -- A BRUTAL
REGIME IN
TERRAIN
THAT IS
RACING
FOR NUCLEAR BOMBS,
OBVIOUSLY, WE CANNOT
DELEGATE THE JOB OF STOPPING
IRAN, IF ALL ELSE FAILS, TO
SOMEONE ELSE.
Reporter: NETANYAHU
ESTIMATES IRAN IS ABOUT SIX
MONTHS AWAY FROM HAVING
ENOUGH ENRICHED URANIUM TO
CREATE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
TENSIONS ARE ESPECIALLY HIGH
IN AFGHANISTAN, WHERE THREE
WEEKEND ATTACKS RESULTED IN
THE DEATHS OF EIGHT TROOPS.
HEATHER CELLS HAS MORE.
Reporter: IN
AFGHANISTAN TODAY,
DEMONSTRATORS TOOK TO THE
STREETS OF KABUL, STILL
PROTESTING OVER AN
ANTI-ISLAM FILM PRODUCED IN
THE U.S.
AND IN PAKISTAN, POLICE
FIRED TEAR GAS AND WATER
CANNONS ON PROTESTORS WHO
BROKE THROUGH A BARRICADE AS
THEY HEADED TO THE U.S.
CONSULATE.
THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN
VERY CLEAR, THE PROTECTION
OF AMERICAN PERSONNEL AND
FACILITIES IS AND WILL
REMAIN OUR TOP PRIORITY.
Reporter: AMERICAN
TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN ARE ON
EDGE AFTER AT LEAST ONE
AFGHAN POLICE OFFICER TURNED
HIS GUN AT NATO TROOPS ON
SUNDAY, KILLING FOUR
AMERICAN SERVICE MEMBERS.
THAT TURNED AN ATTACK ON A
COALITION BASE THAT MANY
THOUGHT WAS SAFE.
THIS WAS A VERY
DELIBERATE, WELL-PLANNED,
WELL-EXECUT WELL-EXECUTED
ATTACK ON A U.S. BASE THAT
SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED.
Reporter: THE U.S.
AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED
NATIONS SAYS THE
SEPTEMBER 11TH ATTACK ON THE
AMERICAN CONSULATE WAS NOT
PREMEDITATED, BUT UNFOLDED.
AS THAT UNFOLDED, IT WAS
HIJACKED BY INDIVIDUAL
CLUSTERS OF EXTREMISTS THAT
CAME WITH HEAVIER WEAPONS
AND EVOLVED FROM THERE.
Reporter: THAT VIEW
SHARPLY CONTRADICTS THE VIEW
OF LIBYA'S PRESIDENT.
THE WAY THESE
PERPETRATORS ACTED, AND
THEY'RE CHOOSING THE
SPECIFIC DATE FOR THIS
SO-CALLED DEMONSTRATION, I
THINK THIS LEAVES US WITH NO
DOUBT THAT THIS WAS
PRE-PLANNED.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T BRING
ROCKET-PROPELLED GRENADES
AND HEAVY WEAPONS TO A
DEMONSTRATION.
THAT WAS AN ACT OF TERROR.
Reporter: HEATHER
CELLS, CBN NEWS.
Lee: PAT, THE QUESTION
IS, WHO DO YOU BELIEVE,
AMBASSADOR RICE OR JOHN
McCAIN AND THE LIBYAN
PRESIDENT ON THIS ISSUE.
Pat: I WOULDN'T BELIEVE
AMBASSADOR RICE IF SHE SAID
THE SUN WAS SHINING.
[LAUGHTER]
Pat: BUT, ANYHOW, LEE,
THE QUESTION WE'RE FACING,
VERY FRANKLY, IS ONE OF
POLICY.
THIS AFGHANISTAN THING
DEFEATED THE BRITS, IT
DEFEATED THE RUSSIANS --
IT'S A QUAGMIRE.
THE QUESTION IS: ARE WE
GOING TO PLAY WIT IT, ARE WE
GOING TO GET OUT, OR ARE WE
GOING TO WIN?
YOU CAN'T PLAY WITH THE
PRECIOUS LIVES OF AMERICAN
SOLDIERS.
YOU CAN'T DO IT.
RIGHT NOW WE'RE PLAYING WITH
IT.
WE'RE SAYING, WELL, WE'RE
GOING TO GET OUT PRETTY
SOON.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO A BIG
SURGE, BUT IT WAS TWO-THIRDS
OF WHAT THE GENERALS ASKED
FOR AND SO FORTH.
WE'VE EITHER GOT TO GO IN
WITH ALL GUNS BLAZING, WITH
A MAJOR EFFORT TO DEFEAT THE
TALIBAN AND TO WIN, OR WE
OUGHT TO GET OUT.
AND MY VOTE WOULD BE TO GET
OUT. WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF
AFGHANISTAN, AND THE BRITS
HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF IT.
AND I DON'T THINK WE NEED
IT.
AND IT IS A WHOLE BUNCH OF
ROCKS AND TRIBAL FEUDS, AND
A VERY, VERY CORRUPT
ADMINISTRATION.
THEY'RE AS DIRTY AS YOU CAN
IMAGINE.
THEY'RE IN THE DRUG TRADE.
THEY HAVE A HUGE AMOUNT OF
OPIUM COMING OUT OF
AFGHANISTAN, AND WE'RE
SITTING HERE COMPLICIT IN
IT.
I WOULDN'T RISK ONE AMERICAN
SOLDIER FOR THAT COUNTRY.
LEE?
Lee: IT HAS BEEN ONE
YEAR SINCE THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION BEGAN
ALLOWING HOMOSEXUALS TO
SERVE OPENLY IN THE
MILITARY.
THE PENTAGON SAYS THE REPEAL
OF "DON'T ASK; DON'T TELL"
HAS GONE SMOOTHLY.
CRITICS DISAGREE.
THEY SAY IT IS DISRUPTIVE,
BUT MANY ARE AFRAID TO SPEAK
UP BECAUSE OF REPERCUSSION.
SOME MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
HAVE SPOKEN UP ABOUT CIVIL
UNION CEREMONIES BECAUSE
THEY VIOLATED THE DEFENCIVE
ACTION.
DEMOCRATS ACCUSED
REPUBLICANS OF WAGING A
SO-CALLED WAR ON WOMEN FOR
TRYING TO CUT PLANNED
PARENTHOOD TAXPAYER
FUNDING.
LIBERALS CLAIM IT PROVIDES
ESSENTIAL WOMEN'S HEALTH
CARE, INCLUDING MAMMOGRAMS,
BUT THE ALLIANCE DEFENDING
FREEDOM SAYS THAT IS SIMPLY
NOT THE CASE.
ANY FACILITY THAT WANTS
TO PERFORM MAMMOGRAMS HAS TO
BE FEDERALED LICENSED.
IF YOU'RE NOT, YOU ARE
SUBJECT $10,000 A DAY
FINES.
WE ASKED THE OBAMA H.H.S.,
HEADED BY CAT KATHLEEN
SEBILUS, PLEASE ASK US FOR
ALL OF THE LICENSES, AND THE
RESPONSE WAS THERE WERE
NONE.
Reporter: HE SAYS
PLANNETHE TRUTH IS IT IS
SIMPLY THE NATION'S LARGEST
ABORTION PROVIDER.
Pat: THE AMERICAN
CENTER FOR LAW AND JUSTICE,
WHICH, YOU KNOW, CBN
STARTED, AND HAS BEEN VERY
CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH, NOW
HAS TWO MAJOR SUITS AGAINST
PLANNED PARENTHOOD, ONE IN
CALIFORNIA, AND ONE IN
TEXAS.
AND THEY WERE BASED ON
COMPLAINTS THAT COME IN.
THE FACT THAT PLANNED
PARENTHOOD HAS TRIPLED
BILLED THE UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT FOR SERVICES IT
DID NOT PERFORM, AND IT'S
UNBELIEVABLE FRAUD --
UNBELIEVABLE -- AND THAT
CASE WAS REJECTED BY A
DISTRICT COURT.
ON APPEAL, THE DISTRICT
COURT WAS OVERTURNED BY THE
NINTH CIRCUIT.
AND IT IS GOING FORWARD TO
DISCOVERY, AND THE DISCOVERY
IS ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING.
WHAT THEY'RE DOING, THE
FRAUD, AND THEY ARE HITTING
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR
CLOSE TO A BILLION DOLLARS A
YEAR.
IT IS UNBELIEVABLE.
THE NUMBERS GO UP.
IT WAS $200 MILLION AND THEN
$300 MILLION, AND NOW I
THINK IT IS CLOSE TO
$500 MILLION OF TAXPAYER
MONEY THAT IS GOING TO
PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
AND I MIGHT ADD, PRESIDENT
OBAMA SAID HE WOULD BE
WILLING TO SHUT THE
GOVERNMENT DOWN IF THE
RESTRICTION ON PLANNED
PARENTHOOD CONTINUED IN THE
NEGOTIATION.
BUT, KRISTI, IT IS
FRAUDULENT IN THE EXTREME.
AND THOSE CASES ARE GOING TO
BE BODY BLOWS TO PLANNED
PARENTHOOD.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HUGE
SUMS.
THE WHISTLE-BLOWER COMPLAINT
IS TRIPLE DAMAGES.
I THINK WHAT IS SO
FASCINATING, THERE HAVE BEEN
SO MANY ISSUES FOR SO LONG.
WHY IS THAT SUPPORT
CONTINUING TO BE THERE?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT IS.
Pat: IF YOU READ SOME
OF THE WRITINGS THAT HAVE
BEEN PUT OUT BY MARGARET
SANGER -- WE TALKED ON THIS
PROGRAM FOR MANY, MANY YEARS
ABOUT MARGARET SANGER, THE
FOUNDER O PLANNED
PARENTHOOD, AND WHAT SHE
WANTED TO DO, SHE WANTED TO
STERILIZE BLACK PEOPLE, SHE
WANTED TO STERILIZE SOUTHERN
EUROPEANS.
IT WAS A STERILE
STERILEZATION CAMPAIGN.
SHE WANTED THEM TO BRING
PEOPLE IN AND STERILIZE
THEM.
SHE SAID IT VERY CLEARLY.
I URGE YOU ALL TO READ IT,
IT'S CALLED "BREEDING THE
THOROUGHBRED," BY MARGARET
SANGER.
I'M SITTING HERE
THINKING, IS THAT A MUST
READ OR A MUST BURN.
[LAUGHTER]
Pat: HONEY, YOU READ IT
AND THEN YOU BURN IT.
SPEAKING OF BURNING,
WE'RE ALL TRYING TO BURN
BODY FAT.
UP NEXT, NOT ALL BODY FAT IS
CREATED EQUAL.
WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU WHAT
THIS GRANDMOTHER DOES EACH
DAY TO KEEP THE WORST KIND
OF FAT AWAY.
THAT'S COMING UP NEXT.
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERS]
Pat: SPECIAL ROSH
HASHANAH SHOW, "THE 700
CLUB."
A WONDERFUL AUDIENCE HERE IN
THE STUDIO, AND WE'RE HAVING
A GOOD TIME.
WHEN IT COMES TO REAL
ESTATE, YOU'VE HEARD IT,
IT'S LOCATION, LOCATION,
LOCATION.
WELL, THE SAME GOES FOR THE
FAT ON YOUR BODY.
[LAUGHTER]
Pat: ASSIG AS
SCIENTISTS RECENTLY
DISCOVERED, IT'S, AS LAURIE
JOHNSON REPORTS, THE MOST
DANGEROUS FAT IS WHERE IT IS
LOCATED, RIGHT AROUND YOUR
MIDDLE.
Reporter: DID YOU KNOW
WE CARRY TWO KINDS OF FAT?
SURPRISINGLY, THE JIGGLY
BLUBBER YOU SEE IN BATHING
SUITS IS THE SAFE KIND.
KNOWN AS SUBCUTANEOUS FAT.
THE REALLY DANGEROUS FAT
PRESSES UP AGAINST VITAL
ORGANS, LIKE THE HEART,
LIVER AND LUNGS.
IT IS CALLED VISCERAL FAT,
ALSO KNOWN AS BELLY FAT.
AS YOU BECOME OBESE AND
GAIN WEIGHT AND YOU GET
OLDER, YOU START TO GAIN
MORE VISCERAL FAT.
Reporter: DR. DAVID LEE
LED A STUDY COMPARING THE
TWO TYPES OF FAT.
IT IS THE VISCERAL FAT
ASSOCIATED WITH
INFLAMMATION, INCREASED RISK
FOR HEART DISEASE, INCREASED
RISK FOR DIABETES AND HIGH
BLOOD PRESSURE AND HIGH
CHOLESTEROL.
YOU DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT
OF SUBCUTANEOUS FAT, BUT IN
GENERAL, THAT IS THE LESS
INFLAMMATORY AND THE MORE
HEALTHY OF THE TWO TYPES OF
FAT.
Reporter: HIS SO-CALLED
BELLY FAT CAN LEAD TO HEART
ATTACKS, CANCER, STROKES,
AND EVEN DEMENTIA.
EVEN THOUGH IT IS DIFFICULT
TO SEE WHETHER WE HAVE TOO
MUCH FAT DEEP IN OUR BELLY,
THERE IS AN AT-HOME TEST TO
CHECK FOR IT.
JUST GET ONE OF THESE AND
MEASURE AROUND YOUR WAIST.
WOMEN HIT THE DANGER ZONE AT
MORE THAN 35 INCHES.
FOR MEN, IT'S 40 INCHES.
THE GOOD NEWS, YOU HAVE THE
POWER TO CHANGE IT.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS,
YOU'VE GOT TO PUT THE TIME
IN.
Reporter: JAMIE KNOWS
ALL ABOUT GETTING RID BELLY
FAT.
SHE RECOMMENDS A
FOUR-PRONGED ATTACK,
STARTING WITH THE DIET.
YOU REALLY WANT TO STAY
AWAY FROM REFINED AND
PROCESSED FOODS.
CERTAINLY SUGARY FOOD.
Reporter: THEN TURN ON
THE BURN.
ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO
TRY TO GET RID OF THAT BODY
FAT IS SIMPLY GET MOVING.
YOUR AEROBIC EXERCISE, WHERE
YOU'RE GETTING THE HEART
RATE UP AND WORKING INTO THE
SWEAT.
Reporter: AND THEN LIFT
WEIGHTS TO SPEED UP YOUR
METABOLISM.
THE MORE MUSCLE YOU HAVE,
THE MORE CALORIES YOU
ACTUALLY BURN T AT REST.
Reporter: AND MAKE SURE
TO GET YOUR REST.
WHEN THE CORTISONE LEVELS
GET HIGH, THAT CONTRIBUTES
TO YOUR BODY FAT AS WELL.
Reporter: BETTY FOLLOWS
THE PROGRAM TO THE LETTER.
I EAT MOSTLY CHICKEN AND
FISH, A LOT OF FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES, AND NO
DESSERTS.
I RUN FIVE TIMES A WEEK,
WHICH AVERAGES 52 MILES A
WEEK, AND I WORK OUT AT THE
GYM THREE DAYS A WEEK.
Reporter: THIS GREAT
GRANDMOTHER STAYS IN FAR
BETTER SHAPE THAN MOST
PEOPLE HER AGE.
I SEE IT EVERY DAY, AND
EVEN SOME OF MY CLASSMATES,
THEY'RE SO OBESE.
AND THEY HAVE ALL KINDS OF
HEALTH ISSUES.
THEY'RE ON ALL KINDS OF
MEDICATIONS.
AND IT'S JUST SO SAD.
Reporter: SHE SPENDS
PRACTICALLY NOTHING ON
HEALTH CARE, LIMITING DOCTOR
VISITS TO REGULAR CHECKUPS,
AND HER ONLY PILL IS A
MULTI-VITAMIN.
JUST THINK HOW MUCH MONEY
THE INSURANCE COULD SAVE AND
THE INDIVIDUALS, IF THEY
WOULD JUST TRY TO TAKE CARE
OF THEMSELVES SOME MORE.
Reporter: IF THE
NATURAL APPROACH ISN'T
ENOUGH TO GET RID OF BELLY
FAT, SOME DOCTORS RECOMMEND
BARIATRIC SURGERY.
PEOPLE MAY NOT ABSORB AS
MANY CALORIES AS BEFORE AND
THEY TEND TO LOSE WEIGHT.
Reporter: SO CUT THAT
BELLY FAT DOWN TO SIZE.
IT IS AN INVESTMENT THAT
COULD ADD YEARS TO YOUR
LIFE.
I JUST TRY TO EAT HEALTHY
AND TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.
I WANT TO BE AROUND TO SEE
THIS GREAT GRANDCHILD
GROWN.
Reporter: LAURIE
JOHNSON, CBN NEWS.
Pat: WOW!
THAT'S AN ANSWER TO ALL OF
US.
YOU TAKE THAT TO HEART, I'M
SURE.
I TAKE IT TO HEART.
BUT I WAS HAVING A
CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE,
AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
HOW TO GET RID OF BELLY
FAT.
THERE IS A WAY YOU CAN
FREEZE IT OFF.
Pat: YOU GET INTO THE
FREEZER?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DO,
BUT I WAS THINKING ABOUT
IT.
Pat: I WAS
Pat: THINK ABOUT IT AND
THEN GO TO SLEEP AND FORGET
IT.
BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT WILL
TAKE IT OFF, THE GREEN TEA.
Kristi: DOES THAT STUFF
REALLY WORK?
Pat: YES.
TRUST ME.
Kristi: DO YOU HAVE
ANY?
Pat: I HAVE A BOTTLE IN
MY POCKET I BROUGHT JUST FOR
YOU.
WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE.
Kristi: THIS STORY IS
AMAZING.
COMING UP, A DRUNK DRIVER
TRAVELLING 80 MILES AN HOUR
HITS A VAN CARRYING A FAMILY
OF FOUR.
HE HIT US SO HARD HIS
ENGINE FELL OUT IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND HIS
ENGINE WENT OVER OUR VAN.
Kristi: BUT FIRST,
WE'RE GOING TO KICK OFF 51
DAYS OF PRAYER FOR OUR
NATION.
AND WE WANT YOU TO JOIN.
WHEN?
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERS]
Pat: TODAY IS ROSH
HASHANAH.
IT IS THE BEGINNING OF THE
JEWISH NEW YEAR, THE HEAD OF
THE YEAR.
BUT TODAY WE'RE ALSO GOING
TO START SOMETHING VERY
SERIOUS.
WE ARE GOING TO BEGIN 51
DAYS OF PRAYER FOR THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
NOT ONLY THE QUESTION OF THE
ELECTION COMING UP IN OUR
NATION, WE HAVE
UNSUPPORTABLE DEBT.
WE HAVE CRISIS TAKING PLACE
AROUND THE WORLD.
WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF A
GREAT CATASTROPHE IN THE
MIDDLE EAST.
OIL PRICES ARE SHOOTING UP.
IT IS UP CLOSE TO $100 A
BARREL AND IT MAY GO TO
$150.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF THINGS TO
PRAY ABOUT.
WE JUST WANT TO PRAY.
KRISTI HAS SOMETHING TO TELL
YOU ABOUT.
IF YOU'RE A CBN PARTNER,
YOU'VE RECEIVED ONE OF THESE
ENVELOPES IN THE PRAYER.
IF YOU HAVEN'T, YOU CAN CAN
ALWAYS SEND IN A PRAYER
REQUEST ANY TIME.
BUT YOU CAN CALL
1-800-759-0700, AND WE'RE
GOING TO BE ADDING YOUR
REQUEST TO THE FLAG RIGHT
BEHIND US.
AND WE'RE GOING TO BE
PRAYING FOR THEM AND OUR
COUNTRY ALL THE WAY THROUGH
THE ELECTION
DAY,
STARTING
RIGHT NOW.
IN
FACT, PAT, I HAVE A
HANDFUL OF THEM.
ARE YOU READY?
Pat: GO AHEAD.
SOMEONE WROTE IN, AN END
TO ABORTION.
THAT AMERICA WILL STAND WITH
ISRAEL IN THESE TROUBLED
TIMES.
ANOTHER ONE, RIGHTEOUS
LEADERS IN ALL THREE
BRANCHES.
AN END TO HUNGER IN
AMERICA.
AN END TO VIOLENCE IN
AFGHANISTAN.
Pat: KRISTI AND I GOING
TO JOIN HANDS.
I'M GOING TO ASK THE PEOPLE
IN THE AUDIENCE TO JOIN
HANDS AS WE BEGIN THIS
SPECIAL TIME OF PRAYER FOR
THIS GREAT NATION.
IF AMERICA GOES DOWN, WHAT
IS THE HOPE OF THE WORLD?
AMERICA HAS BEEN THE HOPE OF
THE WORLD.
WE HAVE VIOLATED THE
COVENANT WE MADE WITH GOD
ALMIGHTY.
HE SAID, "IF MY PEOPLE WHO
ARE CALLED BY MY NAME AND
HUMBLE THEMSELVES AND TURN
FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN
I'LL HEAR FROM HEAVEN."
WE NEED GOD.
WE'RE JOINING HANDS TOGETHER
WITH A WONDERFUL AUDIENCE,
IN THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW
YEAR OF ISRAEL, ROSH
HASHANAH.
FATHER, WE COME BEFORE YOU
LU HUMBLY.
WE CONFESS OUR SINS, LORD.
WE, AS A NATION, HAVE
VIOLATED THE VO COVENANT WE
MADE WITH YOU.
WE HAVE IGNORED YOUR
BLESSINGS.
WE HAVE TAKEN THEM FOR
GRANTED.
WE HAVE SQUANDERED THE
RESOURCES YOU GAVE US, AND
WE HAVE ENGAGED IN
ACTIVITIES AND CONDUCT WHICH
IS OBNOXIOUS AND
OBJECTIONABLE IN YOUR
SIGHT.
WE HAVE VIOLATED THE
COVENANT YOU MADE WITH THIS
NATION.
WE PRAY FOR YOUR
FORGIVENESS, AND WE ASK,
LORD, THAT YOU MIGHT CLEANSE
OUR HEARTS, THAT YOU MIGHT
FORGIVE OUR SINS AND HEAL
OUR LAND.
WE PRAY FOR AMERICA, LAND.
AND DURING THIS TIME OF
YEAR, GOD, GIVE US RIGHTEOUS
LEADERS AND GIVE US WISDOM,
WE PRAY, AND LEAD US BY THE
HAND OF GOD THAT YOUR
BLESSING MIGHT BE RESTORED
TO THIS GREAT NATION THAT
YOU LOVE, AND TO THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE YOUR PEOPLE.
BLESS GOD, THIS LAND THAT
ALL OF US LOVE, IN JESUS'
NAME WE ASK IT.
THANK YOU, LORD.
AMEN.
AND AMEN.
Kristi: PAT, I'VE BEEN
READING THIS BOOK CALLED
"THE SECRET PLACE" BY DR.
COLLINS, AND THE ESSENCE OF
IT IS AS WE PRAY FOR OUR
NATION, WE NEED TO PRAY FOR
OURSELVES.
WE NEED TO GET OUR LIVES
RIGHT SO WE CAN BE RIGHT AS
A WHOLE.
LAST NIGHT WAS A SPECTACULAR
TIME OF PRAYER, PRAISE, AND
WORSHIP HERE AT CBN.
AS WE WELCOME THE JEWISH NEW
YEAR, ROSH HASHANAH, WE NOW
WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THE
HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS
EXTRAORDINARY EVENING.
TAKE A LOOK.
[HORNS BLOWING]
Pat: LAST NIGHT, THE
SOUND OF THE SHOFAR
COMMEMORATED THE START OF
THE NEW YEAR.
THE NIGHT WAS FILLED WITH
REJOICING.
*
* I AM SERVING OVER ZION
DANCING.
*
PRAYER.
Gordon: TONIGHT I THINK
IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO
PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF
JERUSALEM.
THE BIBLE COMMANDS US TO DO
THAT.
AND LET US PRAY A BLESSING
OVER ISRAEL, THAT THE LORD
WOULD WATCH OVER HER AND
PROTECT HER.
Pat: WE THANK YOU THAT
YOU ARE OUR MERCY SEAT.
YOU ARE OUR LID OF
COVERING.
WE THANK YOU THAT YOUR BLOOD
HAS COVERED EVERY SIN WE'VE
EVER COMMITTED.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WE
THANK YOU.
AND, OF COURSE, WORSHIP.
PAUL WILBUR LED THE CROWD IN
GIVING THANKS TO GOD FOR A
JOYFUL NEW YEAR.
*
* LET'S REJOICE
* LET GOD ARISE
*
* LET GOD ARISE
Chris: I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT, THAT WAS SO COOL.
I LOVED EVERY MINUTE IT.
I WAS TWEETING IN THE FRONT
ROW, SAYING YOU'VE GOT TO
WATCH THIS.
Pat: IT WAS STREAMED
LIVE ALL OVER THE WORLD.
IT WAS A FABULOUS
CELEBRATION.
Chris: YOU KNOW WHAT IS
SO GREAT, IF YOU MISSED IT,
YOU CAN WATCH THE ROSH
HASHANAH CELEBRATION IN ITS
ENTIRETY ON OUR WEBSITE.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOG ON
TO cbn.com AND YOU'LL SEE
THE SPECTACULAR EVENT.
IT IS JUST PHENOMENAL.
THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT TO SAY.
IT'S GREAT.
YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT.
STILL AHEAD, AN AMAZING
STORY OF ANSWERED PRAYER.
A MOTHER HEARS DESPERATE
NEWS ABOUT HER DAUGHTER,
JEN.
THE DOCTORS SAID JEN
WOULDN'T LIVE THROUGH THE
NIGHT.
AND IF SHE LIVED THROUGH THE
NIGHT, SHE PROBABLY WOULD
NEVER WAKE UP, AND SHE WOULD
BE IN, LIKE, A VEGETATIVE
STATE.
WATCH HOW JEN DEFIES THE
DOCTOR'S PROGNOSIS THROUGH
THE MIRACLE-WORKING POWER OF
PRAYER.
Reporter: AND WELCOME
BACK TO "THE 700 CLUB."
OCCUPY WALL STREET RALLIES
ARE TAKING PLACE ACROSS THE
COUNTRY TO MARK THE ONE-YEAR
ANNIVERSARY OF THOSE
PROTESTS.
ABOUT 300 PEOPLE MARCHED IN
MANHATTAN THIS WEEKEND.
POLICE SAY AT LEAST A DOZEN
WERE ARRESTED.
THE MOVEMENT LARGELY DIED
OUT BECAUSE OF
DISORGANIZATION AND LACK OF
CLEAR DEMANDS.
WHAT STARTED OUT AS A
PROTEST AGAINST INCOME AND
EQUALITY TURNED INTO A
DISCONNECTED RANT AGAINST
EVERYTHING WRONG WITH THE
WORLD.
CBN'S "SUPERBOOK" IS
MARCHING AGAINST CHILD
VIOLENCE IN COSTA RICA.
THE NATIONAL CHILDREN'S
HOSPITAL ORGANIZED THE MARCH
AS PART OF CHILDREN'S DAY.
THE MARCH GOES HAND-IN-HAND
WITH THE "SUPERBOOK"
PROJECT.
IT AIMS TO CULTIVATE VALUES
AND STRENGTHEN RELATIONS
BETWEEN CHILDREN AND
PARENTS.
AND YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT WHAT CBN IS DOING
AROUND THE WORLD BY LOGGING
ON TO
CBN.COM/INTERNATIONAL.
PAT AND KRISTI WILL BE CITE
BACK AFTER THIS.
STAY WITH US.
Kristi: WELL, AFTER A
HORRIFIC ACCIDENT, LINDA AND
HER HUSBAND, ANDY, WERE
PINNED IN THE FRONT SEATS OF
THEIR FAMILY VAN.
IN THE SHOCK OF THE MOMENT,
LINDA THOUGHT OF TWO THINGS,
HER DAUGHTER AND SON IN THE
BACK SEAT.
SHE LONGED JUST TO HOLD THEM
AND COMFORT THEM, BUT SHE
COULDN'T REACH THEM.
ALL SHE AND HER HUSBAND
COULD DO WAS PRAY.
SO THAT'S WHAT THEY DID
NON-STOP.
Reporter: IT'S HARD TO
IMAGINE THAT SIX YEARS AGO A
DRUNK DRIVER ALMOST
DESTROYED THE BARRICK
FAMILY.
EARLIER THAT DAY, THEIR SON,
JOSH, WON A BASEMENT
TOURNAMENT, AND THEIR
DAUGHTER, JEN, SANG IN HER
FIRST CHOIR CONCERT AT THEIR
CHURCH.
THE FAMILY WAS ON THEIR WAY
HOME WHEN A SPEEDING TRUCK
CROSSED OVER INTO THEIR
TRAFFIC LANE.
LESS THAN A MILE FROM OUR
HOME, WE WERE HIT BY A DRUNK
DRIVER WHO WAS GOING
80 MILES AN HOUR.
EVERYTHING WENT BLANK AND WE
WERE ALL KNOCKED OUT.
Reporter: JOSH WAS THE
FIRST ONE TO COME TO.
I REMEMBER SMELLING LIKE
BURNT RUBBER AND GAS.
IT WAS AN AWFUL SMELL.
Reporter: LINDA AND HER
HUSBAND, ANDY, WERE PINNED
IN THE FRONT SEATS.
SHE WAS THE NEXT TO REGAIN
CONSCIOUSNESS.
I JUST WANTED TO HOLD MY
KIDS AND HUG THEM, AND I
COULD NOT REACH THEM.
I COULD NOT TOUCH THEM.
JOSH AND I PRAYED, LORD
JESUS, COME TO OUR RESCUE.
Reporter: THE EMERGENCY
WORKERS LATER TOLD THEM THE
WRECK WAS CATASTROPHIC.
THE MAN WHO HIT US, HE
HIT US SO HARD HIS ENGINE
WENT OUT INTO THE MIDDLE OF
THE ROAD, AND HIS TRUCK RAN
OVER OUR VAN.
Reporter: AND THE
E.M.T.s RUSHED TO SAVE
JEN.
SHE BEGAN THE FIGHT OF HER
LIFE.
THEY GOT JEN OUT FIRST
BECAUSE THEY KNEW SHE WAS
THE MOST INJURED.
THEY WEREN'T SURE SHE WAS
ALIVE.
Reporter: JEN WAS
LIFE-FLIGHTED TO A TRAUMA
CENTER, AND HER PARENTS AND
BROTHER WERE SENT TO OTHER
HOSPITALS.
IN THE MIDST OF THE CHAOS,
WORD GOT OUT FOR PEOPLE TO
PRAY.
AT THE TIME OF THE
ACCIDENT, MY HUSBAND WAS THE
DIRECTOR AT FALWELL
UNIVERSITY.
AND THEY PUT OUT NEWS ALL
OVER THE WORD.
THEY WERE ASKING PEOPLE
TO PRAY FOR OUR FAMILY.
Reporter: STUDENTS AND
ALUMNI STARTED PRAYING
AROUND THE CLOCK.
AT FIRST DOCTORS SAID JEN
WOULDN'T LIVE THROUGH THE
NIGHT.
AND IF SHE LIVED THROUGH THE
NIGHT, SHE PROBABLY WOULD
NEVER WAKE UP AND BE IN A
VEGETATIVE STATE.
I FLEW IN MY HEART, A MOM'S
HEART, IF JEN WAS GOING TO
LIVE THAT NIGHT, IT WAS
GOING TO BE THROUGH THE
POWER OF PRAYER.
Reporter: JEN LIVED,
BUT LAY IN A COMA FOR FIVE
WEEKS.
ONE BY ONE, HER FAMILY
MEMBERS WERE RELEASED FROM
THE HOSPITAL AND GATHERED AT
HER BEDSIDE EVERY DAY TO
PRAY.
JEN FINALLY WOKE UP.
AS WE SAW HER EMERGE FROM
THE COMA, THE SPIRITUAL SIDE
WAS ALL INTACT, WHERE
EVERYTHING ELSE WAS BROKEN.
AND THIS WAS A HUGE
CONTRAST, BECAUSE YOU COULD
HEAR HER BE IN A ROOM AND
PRAYING TO GOD, AND SHE MADE
TOTAL SENSE.
Reporter: BUT WITH SUCH
AN EXTENSIVE BRAIN INJURY,
SHE HAD TO RELEARN
EVERYTHING.
AND THEN THE THERAPIST
WOULD COME IN AND SAY RAISE
YOUR RIGHT ARM AND SHE COULD
NOT EVEN FOLLOW A VERBAL
COMMAND.
Reporter: AS THEY
PRAYED FOR THEIR DAUGHTER,
THEY BEGAN TO SEE
IMPROVEMENTS EVERY DAY.
AT EACH STAGE WITH PRAYED
AND BEGGED GOD DO DO MORE.
WE WERE BEGGING GOD SHE
WOULD BE ABLE TO TALK
CLEARLY.
WE WERE BEGGING GOD SHE
WOULD BE ABLE TO WALK.
Reporter: WHILE LINDA
WAS IN THE HOSPITAL, LINDA
REMEMBERS FINDING JEN'S
PRAYER JOURNALS IN THE
LORD.
SHE WAS BEGGING GOD FOR
BOLDNESS.
Reporter: FOR YEARS,
JEN FOUGHT HARD TO REGAIN
HER MOBILITY AND
COMMUNICATION SKILLS.
NOW, SIX YEARS AFTER THE
ACCIDENT, JEN CAN TELL US
HERSELF WHAT GOD HAS DONE
WITH HER LIFE.
AFTER THE ACCIDENT, I HAD
TO RELEARN HOW TO DO SO MANY
DIFFERENT THINGS.
HOW TO READ, HOW TO WRITE,
HOW TO GET DRESSED, HOW TO
BRUSH MY TEETH, HOW TO
SWALLOW.
EVERYTHING THAT WE DO ON A
DAILY BASIS, I HAD FORGOTTEN
HOW TO DO ALL OF IT.
BUT IT WAS JUST SO NEAT
BECAUSE DURING THIS TIME,
HOW THE LORD REALLY
OUTPOURED HIS SPIRIT ON MY
LIFE.
Reporter: HER
PEDIATRICIAN, DR. STEPHANIE
SULLIVAN SAYS JEN'S PROGRESS
WAS UNPRECEDENTED.
AND SHE STILL CONTINUES
TO IMPROVE, WHICH IS
EXTREMELY UNUSUAL IN THIS
KIND OF SITUATION.
SO I SEE THIS AS A MIRACLE.
I SEE IT AS A TESTIMONY OF
GOD'S FAITH AND HIS ABILITY
TO DO THINGS THAT ARE
REMARKABLE.
Reporter: EVEN THOUGH
JEN STILL HAS SOME
SHORT-TERM MEMORY
CHALLENGES, SHE IS A
SOUGHT-AFTER SPEAKER,
TELLING HER STORY IN FRONT
OF THOUSANDS.
I'M AMAZED HOW GOD CAN
USE A GIRL WITH A BRAIN
INJURY.
THE MOMENT SHE GETS IN FRONT
OF THE CAMERAS ON TV, OR THE
MOMENT SHE GETS ON STAGE IN
FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE, GOD
JUST SPEAKS THROUGH HER AND
IT IMPACTS PEOPLE.
ANYBODY WHO HAS GONE
THROUGH A HARD TIME OR WHO
HAS BEEN THROUGH AN
ACCIDENT, I WOULD TELL THEM
IF THEY WANT TOTAL AND
COMPLETE HEALING, AS WELL AS
STRENGTH, THAT THAT CAN ONLY
BE FOUND IN THE LORD.
HE PROMISES TO MEET YOU AT
THE POINT OF YOUR NEED AND
TO HELP CARRY YOU EVERY
DAY.
YOU KNOW, JEN HAS A JOY
THAT JUST IS UNEXPLAINABLE.
SHE LOVES PEOPLE.
SHE REACHES OUT TO HURTING
INDIVIDUALS.
GOD HAS BEEN SO MANY
DIFFERENT THINGS TO MY
FAMILY THROUGH THIS
ACCIDENT, BUT I THINK FOR
ME, HE HAS JUST REALLY BEEN
MY STRONGHOLD.
I THINK THE BIGGEST
BLESSING IS JUST HOW GOD IS
USING OUR FAMILY TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD, AND
HOW WHAT SATAN INTENDED FOR
EVIL, GOD IS USING FOR
GOOD.
Kristi: WHEN I WAS
YOUNGER, I ALWAYS THOUGHT AS
LONG AS YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN,
NOTHING BAD COULD HAPPEN TO
YOU.
RIGHT?
WE ALL SIT THERE AND GO,
H'MMM.
BUT GO GOD DOES NOT
GUARANTEE WE WILL NOT SUFFER
CHALLENGES AND TRAGEDIES.
BUT IT IS THOSE TRAGEDIES
AND ADVERSITIES, THAT WE CAN
SEEK THE FACE OF GOD.
AND WE CAN HEAR THIS VOICE.
AND WE CAN UNDERSTAND HIS
HEART.
AND WE CAN KNOW HIM AT A
GREATER LEVEL.
LOOK AT THAT STORY IN HER
PRAYER JOURNAL.
SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT, LORD,
I JUST WANT TO BE BOLD FOR
YOU.
AND, YES, IT TOOK A TRAGEDY
FOR HER TO WALK IN THAT
PLACE OF BOLDNESS.
NOW SHE IS TRAVELLING ALL
AROUND THE COUNTRY TELLING
PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVING
POWER OF JESUS CHRIST.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE GOING
THROUGH RIGHT NOW, I'LL TELL
YOU WHAT, GOD IS A GOD WHO
CAN TAKE YOU THROUGH AND
MAKE YOU SOAR.
WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU
TODAY, DON'T WE, PAT?
Pat: THE NAME OF GOD IS
I AM.
AND YOU HAVE TO FILL IN THE
BLANK.
I AM WHAT?
I AM HEALING.
I AM VICTORY.
I AM PEACE.
YOU NEVER KNOW THE FULLNESS
OF GOD UNTIL YOU HAVE A
NEED.
WE WANT
TO PRAY FOR PEOPLE.
SOMEBODY SAYS PRAY FOR MY
29-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER.
SHE HAS STAGE FOUR BREAST
CANCER.
JUST 29 YEARS OLD.
AND THEY HAVE FINANCES TO
BUY FOOD AND PAY FOR
UTILITIES.
SOMEBODY NEEDS A JOB, BETTER
PAY.
AND RESTORATION OF MY
EYESIGHT IN BOTH EYES.
WE NEED TO BELIEVE IN GOD
FOR MIRACLES.
THERE IS SOMEONE PRAYER
FOR FINANCIAL BREAKTHROUGH.
AND ANOTHER PERSON,
SALVATION FOR MY HUSBAND AND
MY PLAIRP.
MARRIAGE.
AND HEALING FOR MY CRITICAL
SON.
Pat: THIS IS JUST A
SMALL PORTION OF THE PRAYER
HERE.
WE WANT TO JOIN HANDS, AND
THIS WONDERFUL AUDIENCE
TODAY, AND WE WANT TO PRAY
FOR YOU AND PRAY FOR EACH
OTHER.
FATHER, WE COME BEFORE YOU
AND WE CONFESS THAT YOU ARE
A GOD OF MIRACLES.
AND WE CONFESS, LORD, THAT
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH
YOU.
YOU PUT THE STARS IN PLACE.
YOU FORMED THE EARTH.
YOU PLACED THE OCEANS IN
THEIR PLACE.
YOU CONTROL THE NATIONS.
YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF
EVERYTHING, LORD.
AND NOW, LORD, PEOPLE COME
TO YOU AND THEY CRY OUT TO
YOU, AND YOU ARE WILLING TO
HELP.
AND SO WE BRING BEFORE YOU
THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WE
SPEAK THE WORD OF FAITH.
KRISTI?
Kristi: THERE IS
SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO'S --
YOU'VE LOST SOMEONE.
AND THERE IS A SORROW THAT
IS SO DEEP IN YOU THAT YOU
CANNOT BREATHE.
WELL, AS YOU TURN TO THE
FACE OF GOD, THAT SORROW IS
GOING TO BE LIFTED UP OFF OF
YOU, AND YOU'RE GOING TO
EXPERIENCE IS FREEDOM YOU'VE
NEVER FELT BEFORE.
Pat: THERE IS SOMEBODY
IN THE AUDIENCE NAMED
NICKY.
NICKY HAS A CANCEROUS LESION
IN AN OVARY, OR IN THE
UTERUS, AND IN JESUS' NAME,
YOU'RE BEING HEALED.
WE COME AGAINST CANCER, WE
COME AGAINST HEADACHES, WE
COME AGAINST LAMENESS.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS,
RECEIVE AN ANSWER TO YOUR
PRAYER.
AND MAY THE ANOINTING OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT TOUCH YOU FROM
THIS MOMENT ON.
Kristi: AND THERE IS
ANOTHER PERSON, YOU'RE
HEART, EVEN AS WE SPEAK, IT
IS BEATING VERY QUICKLY AND
ERRATIC.
THE LORD IS HEALING THAT AND
PUTTING THAT BACK IN ORDER
IN JESUS' NAME.
Pat: LORD, WE BLESS
YOUR NAME AND WE PRAISE YOU
AND WE THANK YOU FOR
ANSWERED PRAYER IN JESUS'
NAME.
AMEN AND AMEN.
ALL RIGHT.
Kristi: YAY!
Pat: YAY!
YAY!
HALLELUJAH!
[APPLAUSE]
Pat: OKAY, WHAT IS
NEXT?
Kristi: WHEN A LITTLE
BOY IN NIGERIA GOT SICK, IT
WASN'T A DOCTOR WHO HELPED
HIM GET WELL.
IT WAS HIS BEST FRIEND FROM
SCHOOL.
AND
HE USED SOMETHING HE SAW
ON CBN'S ANIMATED PROGRAM,
"SUPERBOOK."
Reporter: LIKE MOST
BOYS HIS AGE, ADAM LIKES TO
PLAY BALL, WATCH TELEVISION,
AND READ COMICS WITH HIS
BEST FRIEND, WINTER.
BUT ONE DAY WINTER DIDN'T
COME TO SCHOOL.
SOMEONE SAID HE WAS ILL.
Reporter: ADAM MISSED
HIS FRIEND AND HOPED HE
WOULD GET BETTER SOON.
THEN HE REMEMBERED AN
EPISODE OF "SUPERBOOK."
THE LESSON WAS ALL ABOUT
PRAYER AND HEALING.
SO HE GOT ON HIS KNEES AND
PRAYED FOR WINTER.
THE NEXT DAY THE ENTIRE
CLASS PRAYED.
AND THE NEXT DAY WINTER WAS
BACK IN SCHOOL.
HOW I FELT WAS I WAS SO,
SO SURPRISED.
I WAS HAPPY THAT HE CAME TO
SCHOOL.
I SAID IF GOD CAN ANSWER
THIS PRAYER, THEN HE CAN
ALSO ANSWER EVERYTHING.
IT MADE ME SEE THAT, NO
DOUBT, GOD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN
ME.
Reporter: ADAM HAS BEEN
ENCOURAGED EVER SINCE.
HE SAYS HE IS CLOSER TO GOD
AND WANTS TO TELL OTHERS
ABOUT JESUS.
THANK YOU, CBN, FOR THE
MATERIALS YOU HAVE SENT.
THEY HAVE HELPED ME BECOME A
BETTER BOY.
Kristi: OH, LOOK AT
THAT LITTLE SWEET THING.
THE BIBLE SAYS TURN THE
CHILD IN THE WAY THEY SHOULD
GO, AND WHEN THEY GET OLD,
THEY WILL NOT DEPART FROM
IT.
WHAT A GREAT TOUCHING
SCHOOL, ANIMATION.
"SUPERBOOK."
THE LITTLE BOY IS WATCHING
"SUPERBOOK," AND HE LEARNS
TO PRAY.
LOOK AT HIM.
HE KIND OF LOOKS AT MY
LITTLE SON.
I WANT TO KISS HIM AND TAKE
HIS SKIN OFF.
IF YOU'RE NOT A CBN PARTNER,
WHY DON'T YOU CHOOSE TO
BECOME ONE.
OUR AUDIENCE IS FILLED DOING
THAT.
AND THEY WILL TELL YOU.
FOR 65 CENTS A DAY, $20 A
MONTH, YOU CAN CHANGE A
LIFE.
WE'RE ENCOURAGING YOU TO
CALL 1-800-759-0700, OR LOG
ON TO CBN.COM.
AND HERE IS SOMETHING REALLY
COOL FOR YOU BECAUSE WE LIKE
TO MAKE LIFE EASY.
IT IS CALLED PLEDGE EXPRESS,
AND THAT MEANS THE BANK DOES
ALL OF THE WORK.
DON'T YOU LOVE SOMEBODY
DOING ALL OF THE WORK FOR
YOU.
WELL, THE BANK DOES.
SO WHEN YOU CALL IN AND SAY
I WANT TO BE PART OF PLEDGE
EXPRESS, WE ARE GOING TO
GIVE YOU THIS.
IT'S CALLED "POWER FOR
LIFE," AND IT'S PAT AND
GORDON'S POWERFUL MONTHLY
TEACHINGS.
ALL RIGHT, I'M DONE.
Pat: ALL RIGHT.
WHEN WE COME BACK, AUTHO AN
AUTHOR IS GOING TO TALK
ABOUT THE REVELATION THAT
GOD HAS GIVEN HIM.
AND YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS
ONE MINUTE OF
IT.
SO WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
[APPLAUSE]
Pat: WE HAVE A TREAT
FOR YOU TODAY.
A DEAR FRIEND, DOUG SHEETS,
HAS BEEN A MAN PRAYING FOR
REVIVAL.
AND HAS HEARD FROM GOD.
IT IS SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU
WITH US.
THANK YOU, PAT.
ALL RIGHT.
Pat: WHAT IS GOD
TELLING YOU ABOUT AMERICA?
YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE
WE'VE MOVED INTO A WINDOW OF
OPPORTUNITY THAT I ACTUALLY
AGREE WITH YOU, WHEN YOU
SAID EARLIER IN THE PROGRAM,
WE'RE WARING FOR THE FUTURE
OF THE WORLD.
I HAD A DREAM RECENTLY GIVEN
TO ME, WHERE IN THE DREAM I
HAD GROWN TO 6' 9," WHICH
WAS INTERESTING.
Pat: YOU COULD PLAY IN
THE NBA.
YEAH.
AND I KNEW INSTANTLY THAT IT
WASN'T A STATURE THING.
IT WAS A SCRIPTURE.
AND IT WAS GALATIANS 6: 9,
WHICH IS DON'T GROW WEARY OF
DOING RIGHT.
SO I STUDIED THE VERSE.
"DUE SEASON," THERE IS A
WORD, KIROS, AND IT'S A
WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY.
IT IS NOT A GUARANTEED
THING.
THE VERSE SAYS IF YOU DON'T
FAINT.
SO THE BEST TRANSACTION
WOULD BE A WINDOW OF
OPPORTUNITY.
IDIOS IS A WORD THAT MEANS
OWNERSHIP.
AND AS FAR AS GOD IS
CONCERNED, WE OWN THIS.
WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY THAT
GOD HAT GIVE HAS GIVEN TO
US.
AND HE IS WAITING FOR US, TO
DETERMINE IF WE GRAB THE
OPPORTUNITY.
I FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE
SEASON.
THIS IS THE SEASON WE'RE IN
RIGHT NOW THAT WILL
DETERMINE OUR HISTORY FOR AT
LEAST THE NEXT 40 YEARS.
Pat: WHAT HAPPENS IF WE
FAIL AT THIS POINT?
I THINK WE GO -- AT THE
VERY LEAST, WE GO THROUGH
ANOTHER CYCLE OF JUDGMENT.
AND THE ECONOMY WON'T
RECOVER, BUT WORSE THAN
THAT, WE COULD LOSE A
GENERATION.
THERE IS A GENERATION OUT
THERE THAT DOESN'T KNOW
GOD.
THERE IS A HARVEST, I
BELIEVE -- IF WE GO THROUGH
THIS WINDOW, I BELIEVE THAT
WE WILL SEE AT LEAST A
BILLION SOULS SAVED IN THE
NEXT 10 YEARS AROUND THE
WORLD.
BUT I FEEL LIKE IT CAN HANG
IN THE BALANCE, BASED ON
WHETHER OR NOT THE PRAYING
CHURCH RISES UP AND SHAKES
OFF WEARINESS AND CONTENDS
FOR WHAT GOD IS OFFERING US
RIGHT NOW.
Pat: THAT PRIZE IS SO
INCREDIBLE.
THE GREATEST MOVE OF GOD IN
THE HISTORY OF MANKIND IS
STANDING RIGHT THERE,
WAITING FOR US.
I BELIEVE IT WILL BE A
THIRD GREAT AWAKENING THAT
WILL SWEEP THE WORLD.
GOD IS TALKING ABOUT ELIJAH,
THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS TIME
FOR RAIN AND HE RECEIVED
SOME VICTORIES, AND THE FIRE
HAD FALLEN, HE STILL HAD TO
GO ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN
AND PRAY SEVEN TIMES BEFORE
THE RAIN COULD BE RELEASED.
THE NUMBER SEVEN STANDS FOR
COVENANT.
IN THE OLD TESTIMONY, WHEN
THEY WOULD MOVE TO COVENANT,
THEY WOULD TAKE AN OATH.
THEY WOULD REPEAT IT SEVEN
TIMES.
OFTEN IN SCRIPTURE, WHEN GOD
IS DEALING WITH YOU IN
JUDGMENTS IN ISRAEL, OR
RESTORATION, YOU'LL FIND THE
NUMBER SEVEN.
IT'S GOD'S SIGN.
WHETHER IT IS SEVEN YEARS --
IT IS GOD'S SIGN THAT, HEY,
YOU MOVED OUT OF COVENANT
WITH ME.
MANY TIMES, WHEN HE IS
BRINGING THEM BACK INTO
REDEMPTION AND RESTORATION,
YOU'LL FIND THE NUMBER SEVEN
OVER AND OVER.
ELIJAH HAD TO CONTEND SEVEN
TIMES.
WHY?
BECAUSE HE WAS WARRING FOR
COVENANT.
APRIL 29th WE PLANTED THAT
CROSS ON THE BEACH.
APRIL 29th, YEARS LATER,
GEORGE WASHINGTON DEDICATED
THIS NATION TO GOD.
SAME DATE, WASHINGTON FOR
JESUS, YEARS AGO,
APRIL 29th.
WE HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD,
AND WE HAVE A ABANDONED THAT
COVENANT, AND GOD IS SAYING
TO US, RETURN TO COVENANT,
WAR FOR COVENANT.
I'M SO GLAD YOU GUYS ARE
DOING THIS, 51 DAYS OF
PRAYER.
Pat: YOU'RE
ENCOURAGEMENT TO US.
I WANT TO REITERATE WHAT I
SAID EARLIER.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR PRAY FOR
THIS NATION.
I KNOW YOU CAST OFF
WEARINESS.
THERE IS SO MANY STUFF IN
ALL OF OUR LIVES, BUT WE'VE
GOT TO GET BACK TO BASICS.
AND, REMEMBER, I WANT YOUR
NAME TO BE UP ON THIS BOARD
BEHIND ME.
TO SAY I AM GOING TO BE
PRAYING.
BY THE WAY, DON'T LET THIS
OPPORTUNITY PASS.
DUTCH IS A GREAT AUTHOR.
HE HAS WRITTEN A BOOK CALLED
"DREAM."
WHAT ABOUT DREAMS?
YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE THE
LORD GAVE ME THIS BOOK TO
CHALLENGE PEOPLE, NOT IN
NIGHT DREAMS, BUT TO DREAM
WITH HIM.
AND I STARTED STUDYING THE
CONCEPT OF DREAMING, AND TO
MY GREAT SURPRISE, I FOUND
THAT THE WORD "CREATE" AND
THE WORD "DREAM" OR
"IMAGINE" ARE THE SAME WORD
IN HEBREW.
WHEN WE COME INTO
PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD AND
ALLOW HIM TO DREAM OUR
DREAMS, THAT AWAKENS A
CREATIVE FORCE IN US, THAT
ENABLES US TO ACCOMPLISH THE
DREAM, AND WE BECOME NOT
ONLY SUCCESSFUL, BUT WE
BECOME AN OUTLET FOR GOD'S
DREAMS.
Pat: I FOUND THAT ALL
WE HAVE TO DO IS LISTEN TO
WHAT GOD SAYS.
IF GOD SAYS IT, THEN IT WILL
COME TO PASS.
HIS DREAMS BECOME PHYSICAL
REALITY VERY QUICKLY.
HE SPEAKS THAT CREATIVE
WORD.
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
AND HE GAVE US HIS DREAMING
NATURE BECAUSE HE KNEW HE
WOULD NEED PARTNERS.
AND SO WE DREAM.
HE GIVES US DREAMS.
HE HELPS US ACCOMPLISH OUR
DREAMS.
BUT AS SOME POINT WE
REALIZE, YOU KNOW, GOD HAS A
DREAM IN MY DREAM.
AND A PART OF MY DREAM IS
FOR HIM.
AND WE BECOME AN OUTLET FOR
HIS DREAMS.
Pat: DUTCH WILL BE
LEADING OUR CBN CHAPEL
SERVICE AT NOON.
AND YOU CAN WATCH STREAMING
VIDEO BY GOING TO
CBN.COM.
THE NICE THING, THIS VIDEO
NOW, YOU CAN GO ALL AROUND
THE WORLD AND STAY AT HOME
AND PICK UP ALL KINDS OF
WONDERFUL THINGS.
WELL, TOMORROW A JET CRASHES
INTO AN APARTMENT BUILDING,
IGNITES A SERIES OF MORE OR
MIRACLES.
TODAY WE LEAVE YOU WITH 2
KINGS: "THUS SAYS THE LORD,
I HAVE HEARD YOUR PRAYER, I
HAVE SEEN YOUR PRAYERS,
SURELY I WILL HEAL YOU."
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORD.
I WANT TO THANK OUR
WONDERFUL AUDIENCE FOR BEING
HERE.
GIVE YOURSELVES A HAND.
THANK YOU ALL.
GOD BLESS YOU.
WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
