BOTTOM LINE IS TWO PARTIES AND
TWO COMPETING VISIONS FOR
AMERICAN AMERICA, REPUBLICAN'S

VISION.
VISION OF A COUNTRY THAT

REPORTER: EFREM GRAHAM, CBN
NEWS.
REPORTER: PAT, HOW WOULD YOU
RATE THIS DEBATE?
PAT: I THINK IT WAS SUPERB.
CANDIDATES ARE TAKING MOST OF
THE BIG CROWDS.
I THINK IN TERMS OF SUBSTANCE,
WE HAVE HAD FORMER PRIME
MINISTERS, SCHOLARS FROM HARVARD
HARVARD, SECRETARY OF TREASURY,
WE HAVE HAD TREMENDOUS SPEAKERS.
I THINK THIS WAS A GREAT DEBATE.
IT DID THE NATION PROUD.
I THINK IT DID THE SCHOOL PROUD.
BEFORE WE GET ON ANY FURTHER
TERRY, YOU AND I NEED TO PRAY
FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE NORTHEAST.
THIS STORM IS GOING TO SWING
INTO THE DELMARVA PENINSULA
AFFECTING NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK,
NEW ENGLAND AND MAY GO OUT INTO
OHIO.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE
LOSING POWER, BEING COLD, MAYBE
WITHOUT FOOD.
IT IS A VERY SERIOUS THING.
IT IS THE BIGGEST STORM IN TERMS
OF ACTUAL MASS AND VOLUME THAT
HAS EVER APPROACHED THIS NATION.
WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING THIS
BIG.
MAYBE THE BIGGEST FOR US IN A
WHILE.
THEY ARE PREDICTING, 95 MILES AN
HOUR WINDS.
PAT: IT IS PICKING UP.
IT IS NOT JUST LOOKING FOR THE
EYE.
IT IS THIS GIGANTIC WEATHER
SYSTEM THAT IS GOING TO BRING IN
AIR.
THERE IS A WARM TREND COMING IN
THAT CAN CREATE SNOW.
IT COULD BE LIKE A NORTHEASTER.
SNOW IN THE APPALACHAINS, COUPLE
OF FEET OF SNOW.
TERRY: I THINK IT HAS
ALREADY STARTED.
PAT: LORD, IN JESUS' NAME, I
PRAY THAT YOU REACH OUT TO THESE
THAT ARE SUFFERING.
WE PRAY, LORD, THAT YOU MIGHT
PROVIDE SHELTER.
THAT YOU MIGHT PROVIDE WARMTH,
FOOD FOR THOSE IN THE PATH OF
THIS DREADFUL STORM, LORD, YOU,
ALONE ARE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF
THE NEEDY.
PLEASE DO IT, NOW.
PLEASE REACH OUT TO THESE WHO
ARE IN THE PATH OF SUFFERING AND
HELP US TO HELP THEM, LORD, IN
JESUS' NAME.
AMEN.
TERRY: AMEN.
PAT: TERRY.
TERRY: ELECTION DAY IS RIGHT
AROUND THE CORNER.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT EIGHT
DAYS CAN SET THE COURSE FOR THE
NEXT FEW YEARS.
WE ARE GOING TO BE PRAYING FOR
OUR COUNTRY.
LATER ON, A MOTHER HEARS VOICES
TELLING HER TO MURDER HER
CHILDREN.
FIND OUT HOW SHE RESPONDED, ALL
NEXT.
TERRY: MANY OF YOU HAVE
JOINED US AS WE PRAY FOR THE
ELECTION.
WE WANT TO PRAY WITH YOU, FOR
OUR LEADERS.
WE ASKED MANY OF YOU THAT HAVE
RECEIVED A MAILING.
IT HAS HAD A CARD THAT YOU CAN
SEND IN WITH YOUR PRAYER
REQUESTS.
WE HAVE OVER A QUARTER OF A
MILLION PRAYING.
MY PRAYER IS A SPIRITUAL REVIVAL
ASKING GOD FOR HIS MERCY AND
FORGIVENESS.
SOME SAY MY PRAYER IS FOR WIZ IN
ALL THOSE IN LEADERSHIP.
PAT: PEOPLE ALSO WORRIED
ABOUT THE ECONOMY.
THIS ISN'T GOING TO HELP.
SHUTTING DOWN THE STOCK MARKET.
16 TRILLION DOLLAR DEFICITS.
WE ARE IN TROUBLE.
PEOPLE ARE SAYING PRAY FOR THE
ECONOMY, PRAY FOR WISE LEADERS.
TERRY: YES.
PAT: FATHER, TERRY AND I JOIN
ON THIS STORM-TOSSED DAY.
GIVE US RIGHTEOUS WISE LEADERS.
LORD, WITH A FEW DAYS LEFT
BEFORE THIS MONUMENTAL ELECTION,
SELECT YOUR PEOPLE FOR THE
VARIOUS OFFICES THAT WILL BE
OPEN IN THIS COUNTRY, THAT THEY
MIGHT FULFILL YOUR DESTINY FOR
THIS GREATLAND.
GREAT LAND.
AND BLESSED WE PRAY IN JESUS'
NAME.
AMEN.
TERRY: AMEN.
ONE OF THE PRAYER REQUESTS I HAD
WAS SOMEONE ASKING FOR A REVIVAL
IN OUR COUNTRY.
WE HAVE NEEDED THAT FOR A LONG
TIME.
WE WANT TO BE SURE YOU HAVE A
BOOKLET THAT IS PUT TOGETHER
"REVIVE STEPPED TO REVIVAL IN
AMERICA."
CALL THE TOLL FREE NUMBER,
1-800-759-0700.
SAY I WOULD LIKE THAT RERIVAL
BOOKLET.
WE'LL GET IT OUT TO YOU RIGHT
AWAY.
COMING UP NEXT, WE ARE GOING TO
HEAR FROM A WOMAN THAT SAW HELL
AND LATER TALKED TO A MAN THAT
DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN.
GET THEIR STORIES.
ALL OF THAT IS AHEAD ON TODAY'S
SHOW.
PAT: PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN I DIE?
IS THERE A HEAVEN?
IS THERE A HELL?
IS THERE LIFE AFTER DEATH?
WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN
THERE AND COME BACK.
EYEWITNESS REPORTS OF HELL AND
HEAVEN.
PAIGE TORGERSEN ENDURED A
LIVING HELL ON EARTH AS A CHILD.
THEN AS AN ADULT, PAIGE
EXPERIENCED THE REAL THING.
WHEN YOU FIRST MEET HER,
YOU'D NEVER KNOW, SHE IS
BEAUTIFUL, ARTICULATE, CARING
MOTHER OF TWO CHILDREN.
BUT PAIGE TORGERSEN HAS A DARK
PAST AND THERE IS A REASON SHE
WANTS YOU TO KNOW HER STORY.
THINGS THAT HAPPENED THAT I
DIDN'T SEE AS ABNORMAL BECAUSE I
DIDN'T HAVE A NORMAL PICTURE OF
LIFE.
NORMAL TO PAIGE WAS A MOTHER
THAT MARRIED SIX TIMES.
SHE THOUGHT IT WAS RIGHT FOR
US.
NORMAL WAS A BILOGICAL FATHER
THAT DRANK UNTIL HE PASSED OUT.
HE SAID LIFE WAS NOT WORTH
LIVING AND IT WAS MY FAULT.
AND STEPBROTHERS AND
STEPFATHERS WHO USED PAIGE AS A
SEX OBJECT.
HE WOULD BE HITTING MY
MOTHER.
I WOULD TRY TO OFFEND HER.
HE WOULD SPANK ME UNTIL I USED
THE BATHROOM ON MYSELF.
THESE IMAGES ARE PICTURE
PERFECT.
PAIGE AS A SIX YEAR OLD
CELEBRATING HER BIRTHDAY.
AT NINE WITH AN IMPISH GRIN.
CHEER LEADER AND HOMECOMING
QUEEN.
THE GIRL THAT LOOKED SO FULL OF
LIFE ON THE INSIDE WAS SLOWLY
DYING.
CONSTANTLY IN FEAR.
IT BEGAN TO TAKE EVERYTHING IN
AND PUT IT IN A DIFFERENT PLACE
SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO THINK
ABOUT IT.
THAT IS THE WAY I WOULD PAINT
THE PICTURE TO THE OUTSIDE
WORLD.
I WOULD NEVER TELL THEM. SHE
BROKE FREE FROM THE ABUSE AFTER
HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION.
THE DAMAGE WAS DONE.
PAIGE BEGAN TO REPEAT THE SAME
TRAGIC MISTAKES AS HER MOTHER.
I CHOSE THE SAME TYPE OF
PEOPLE I HAD BEEN AROUND.
THEN SHE HAD HER FIRST CHILD,
A DAUGHTER.
STILL HOPING A BETTER MAN WOULD
COME ALONG. I THOUGHT WITH
THIS NEXT ONE HE IS GOING TO BE
THE ONE, THERE WOULD BE A
MOMENT, EVERYTHING WOULD GO
SOUTH.
ONE BOYFRIEND DID SEEM
DIFFERENT AT FIRST.
THEY EVEN HAD A SON TOGETHER.
THIS MAN WHILE NOT ABUSIVE,
EVENTUALLY TAUGHT PAIGE HOW TO
DESTROY HERSELF.
HE INTRODUCED ME TO DRUGS,
YES.
THAT BECAME MY ESCAPE.
I COULDN'T FUNCTION NORMALLY.
PAIGE FIRST HEARD THE VOICES.
TELLING ME TO KILL MY FAMILY
AND MY DAUGHTER.
MY DAUGHTER WAS THE LOVE OF MY
LIFE.
I WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING TO
HURT OTHER PEOPLE.
THESE VOICES BEGAN TO GET WORSE
AND WORSE.
I WOULD PUT MY HAND OVER MY
EARS, I THOUGHT I HAD LOST MY
MIND.
AFTER FIVE MONTHS OF TORMENT,
PAIGE QUIT ALL DRUG USE AND THE
VOICES.
....
THE SAME DAY THOSE VOICES
STOPPED, THAT NIGHT WAS WHEN THE
LORD INTERVENED.
IT WAS THE MOST ANGELIC, THE
MOST PEACEFUL, LOVING VOICE YOU
JUST CAN'T IMAGINE.
I KNEW GOD WAS SPEAKING TO ME.
HIS PRESENCE WAS OVERWHELMING.
I WAS IN THE VERY BEGINNING
FEARFUL.
SUDDENLY THE FEAR WAS GONE.
I WAS COMFORTED, I HAD A PEACE
AND JOY I HAD NEVER HAD.
IT WAS LIKE I HAD A SUDDEN
REVERENCE FOR GOD I HAD NEVER
KNOWN.
HE SOMEHOWED ME MOMENTS FROM MY
CHILDHOOD AND BAD DECISIONS
OPENED THE DOOR ALONG THE WAY
FOR THE DEMONIC REALM TO CONTROL
MY FAMILY.
PAIGE SAYS THE VISION THAT
FOLLOWED WAS HORRIFYING.
SUDDENLY, I WAS IN A HOLDING
CELL.
I WAS IN A VERY DARK SCARY
PLACE.
I WAS SAYING WHY AM I HERE,
LORD?
I THOUGHT HE HAD COME TO RESCUE
ME.
I THOUGHT I HAD DIED AT THAT
POINT.
I COULDN'T TOUCH ANYTHING.
I COULDN'T FEEL ANYTHING.
I COULD HEAR THESE MOANS AND
CRIES AND VOICES, BUT I COULDN'T
SEE THEM.
IT WAS LIKE THEY WERE TORMENTING
ME.
I REMEMBER HAVING NO
COMMUNICATION AT THAT POINT WITH
THE LORD.
HE DIDN'T ANSWER ANYTHING I
SAID.
I COULDN'T CRY.
I COULDN'T SCREAM.
I IMMEDIATELY KNEW WHAT ETERNITY
WAS.
THERE WAS NO SENSE OF TIME
WHATSOEVER.
I COULD HEAR PEOPLE CRYING AND
WHALING.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS MY FUNERAL, I
AM LISTENING TO MY FUNERAL.
I WALKED TO THE DOOR, AS I
OPENED THE DOOR, I WAS SHOCKED.
I COULD SEE A BEAUTIFUL SCENE
OUTSIDE.
INSIDE IT WAS DARK AND SCARY.
NO SENSE OF LIFE WHATSOEVER.
THAT WAS THE MOMENT WHERE I
UNDERSTOOD WHAT DEATH WAS.
I TRIED TO CRY.
IT WAS CLEAR IN MY MIND I
TOTALLY MISSED GOD.
I COULD SEE CLEARLY, VISIONS OF
THE PARTY SCENES, THE SEXUAL
PROVERSION I PARTICIPATED IN,
THE THINGS I HAD DONE WILLINGLY.
I COULDN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING
BEFORE I BECAME ACCOUNTABLE FOR
MY ACTIONS.
I REMEMBER TRYING TO TRY OUT TO
GOD AND BEGGING GOD FOR ANOTHER
CHANCE.
I STARTED SCREAMING AND CRYING.
GOD, YOU HAVE TO GET ME OUT OF
HERE.
I AM IN HELL.
I HAD A VERY REAL PICTURE OF
HELL.
THE DAMNATION I COULD HAVE
EXPERIENCED.
WHERE DOES A PERSON GO AFTER
A VISION OF HELL?
PAIGE SAYS SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE
TO GO OR WHAT TO DO.
HONESTLY, I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD
TO PURSUE HIM.
I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD TO DESIRE A
RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
I HAD TO FIND GOD.
I TO HAVE THAT JOY AND THAT LOVE
I HAD NEVER FELT.
I HAD ONLY FELT THAT LOVE DURING
THAT VISIT.
SHE BEGAN HER SEARCH FOR GOD
IN EARNEST.
I WAS READING THE BIBLE AND
PRAYING AND BEGAN TO FAST.
SUDDENLY, GOD STEPPED BACK INTO
MY LIFE IN SUCH A GREAT WAY.
HE SAID I WAS WAITING ON YOU.
I HAVE BEEN WITH YOU THE WHOLE
TIME.
I WAS WAITING ON YOU.
WHEN I REALIZED, WOW, IT WAS MY
CHOICE.
YOU WENT OUT OF YOUR WAY TO
VISIT ME AND TO TELL ME ALL
THESE WONDERFUL THINGS AND TO
SHOW ME WHAT I COULD HAVE NEVER
KNOWN.
AND YOU ARE HERE AGAIN AND I AM
NEVER, EVER GOING TO LOSE YOU.
SO I STARTED SHARING EVERYWHERE
I WENT.
I WOULD TELL HIM HOW MUCH I
LOVED HIM.
HE WAS EVERYTHING TO ME.
UM, I WOULD SAY I AM SORRY,
PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
THE REPENTANCE WAS VERY
IMPORTANT.
PAIGE FOUND A CHURCH AND GREW
IN HER RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
SHE RECONCILED WITH HER FATHER
BEFORE HE DIED AND FORGIVEN
THOSE THAT ABUSED HER IN THE
PAST.
TODAY SHE HAS A WONDERFUL
RELATIONSHIP WITH HER MOTHER AND
BECAME A CHRISTIAN, TOO.
PAIGE BELIEVES SHE WAS SPARED AN
ETERNITY IN HELL.
THAT IS WHY SHE IS SO PASSIONATE
TO TELL HER STORY. I WANT TO
SHOUT FROM THE TALLEST MOUNTAIN
PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN THEY LEAVE THIS WORLD.
THEY TAKE THEIR LAST BREATH,
THERE IS NO WAY OUT.
IT IS TERRIFYING.
IF YOUR HEART IS RIGHT.
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET RIGHT
WITH THE LORD, ALL IT TAKES IS
THAT PRAYER AND THE REPENTANCE.
I HAD NEVER KNOWN LOVE OR HAD AN
IDENTITY AND MY IDENTITY IS IN
CHRIST.
I NEVER KNEW THE LOVE AND
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
KNOWING JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR AND
ALLOWING HIM TO COME IN AND
TRANSFORM YOUR HEART AND CHANGE
YOUR LIFE, WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE
IT.
PAT: I LOVE IT.
WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE IT.
SOME OF YOU RIGHT NOW, LISTEN TO
ME, DON'T GO ANYWHERE T. YOU MAY
HAVE BEEN SEXUALLY MOLESTED.
INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, A QUARTER
OF ALL DWIRL GIRLS, ARE MOLESTED
BY THE AGE OF 18.
MOLESTING TAKING PLACE FROM
STEPPARENTS, OLDER SIBLINGS, WHO
KNOWS.
COUNSELORS.
BOY SCOUT LEADERS EVEN REMEMBER
CATHOLIC PRIESTS.
PEOPLE FEEL ASHAMED.
YOU FEEL DIRTY.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
YOU THINK GOD HAS ABANDONED YOU.
GOD SHOWED PAIGE WHAT HELL IS
LIKE.
I THINK THE MOST AWFUL THING IN
THE BIBLE IS ETERNITY NEVER
ENDS.
IT IS GOOD FOR THOSE WHO HAVE
COME TO PARADISE.
TERRIBLE FOR THOSE THAT HAVE
CAST INTO THE WAKE OF FIRE.
THERE IS PUNISHMENT.
PAIGE HAS COME INTO A
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD THAT
IS GLORIOUS.
YOU CAN HAVE THAT RELATIONSHIP.
I WANT TO OFFER YOU THE CHANCE
RIGHT NOW TO SAY YES TO JESUS.
YOU DON'T WANT TO GO TO HELL.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HORRIBLE
IT IS.
IT IS FOREVER.
THERE IS NO TURNING BACK.
ONCE YOU ARE CROSS THE LINE AND
OUT OF THIS BODY, HELL IS
FOREVER!
EVER!
AND EVER!
YOU CAN'T DIE.
YOU SUFFER, TORMENTED, DAY AFTER
DAY, YEAR AFTER YEAR, FOREVER!
BOW YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW AND PRAY
WITH ME.
PRAY THESE WORDS JESUS, I KNOW
YOU LOVE ME.
JESUS, YOU SEEN THE THINGS I
HAVE DONE.
YOU KNOW THE SEXUAL SINS.
YOU KNOW THE BLASPHEMY, THE
INDIFFERENCE, THE CALLOUSNESS,
THE CRUELTY, THE LIES,
EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE.
I ASK YOU TO FORGIVE ME, LORD, I
RECEIVE YOUR DEATH THAT PAYS THE
PRICE OF MY SALVATION.
COME NOW, FILL ME WITH YOURSELF,
I WANT YOU, LORD.
AND I RECEIVE YOU FROM THIS
MOMENT ON AS MY LORD AND AS MY
SAVIOR.
THANK YOU, LORD THAT YOU HAVE
HEARD MY PRAYER AND THANK YOU
YOU HAVE COME INTO MY HEART.
FOR THOSE THAT PRAYED WITH ME, I
WANT TO SEND YOU SOMETHING
CALLED "A NEW DAY."
IT IS A COMPACT DISK HERE, 73
MINUTES OF CONCENTRATED
TEACHINGS ABOUT WHAT JUST
HAPPENED TO YOU, WHAT YOU HAVE
JUST DONE.
I'LL GIVE THIS TO YOU FREE.
I WANT YOU TO CALL AND SAY I
PRAYED WITH PAT, GAVE MY HEART

TERRY: FIVE YEARS AGO
JEFFREY THOMPSON HAD ROUTINE
SURGERY.
SOMETHING WENT WRONG.
JEFF'S HEART WENT OUT AND DIED
IN THE ARMS OF HIS WIFE.
I BEGAN HAVING STOMACH PAINS,
SEVERE STOMACH PAINS INITIALLY I
HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS.
THE STRESS JEFFREY THOMPSON
WAS UNDER RUNNING HIS LAW
PRACTICE HAD TAKEN A TOLL ON HIS
BODY.
I MAINTAINED THE STRESS.
EVENTUALLY IT BROKE DOWN.
JEFFREY DEVELOPED
DIVERTICULITIS AND NEEDED
SURGERY TO REMOVE PART OF HIS
INTESTINE.
AFTER THE OPERATION, HIS BODY
CONTINUED TO HEMORRHAGE.
I LOOKED INTO THE SURGEON'S
EYES AND SAW CONCERN.
MY INTERNAL CLOCK WAS TELLING ME
I ONLY HAD A FEW SECONDS OF
CONSCIOUSNESS LEFT.
I REACHED UP TO GRAB MY WIFE.
I WENT TO HIM.
IT WAS RIGHT AFTER THAT I
LOST HIM.
I COULD TELL HE LEFT.
HE TOOK MY HAND AND WAS GONE.
JEFFREY THOMPSON JOINS US NOW
LIVE.
THANKFULLY FOR THE REST OF HIS
STORY.
JEFF IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU
WITH US.
TERRY, HONORED TO BE HERE.
TERRY: YOU WERE A SUCCESSFUL
LAWYER, WORKING 70-80 HOURS A
WEEK.
EVENTUALLY TOOK A TOLL ON YOUR
BODY.
TELL US ABOUT THAT.
IT DID.
MY PRACTICE TAKES US AROUND THE
COUNTRY.
I AM WITH A WONDERFUL FIRM.
WE HAVE CLIENTS IN EVERY STATE
WHICH REQUIRES A LOT OF TRAVEL.
IT TAKES IT OUT OF YOU.
IT BROKE MY BODY DOWN,
UNFORTUNATELY.
TERRY: YOU ARE GOING INTO
THIS SURGERY FOR A STOMACH
ISSUE.
NOTHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
FATAL.
WERE YOU PREPARED FOR ANYTHING
BAD TO HAPPEN?
I WAS NOT.
MY WIFE AND I HAD A FEELING
NOTHING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
I TOLD MY ASSISTANT THE DAY
BEFORE SURGERY, TELL MY CLIENTS,
I AM UP AND RUNNING MONDAY.
THAT WAS MY IDEA, NOT GODS.
TERRY: SOMETIMES GOD SENDS
AN EARTHQUAKE TO GET OUR
ATTENTION.
HERE YOU ARE, YOU HAD THE
SURGERY, THE CORRECTION ACTUALLY
TOOK PLACE, 24 HOURS LATER THE
DOCTORS PULLED BACK THE SHEET,
VITAL SIGNS NOT GOOD.
WHAT DID THEY FIND?
I LOOK PREGNANT.
I WAS BLEEDING INTERNALLY.
WHEN I LOOKED DOWN, I REALIZED
NEEDILY SOMETHING WAS TERRIBLY
WRONG.
THE
TERRY: TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED
THEN, YOU WENT INTO THIS BLACK
OUT THAT WE HEARD DESCRIBED.
YOUR SENSES HEIGHTENED.
WHEN I LOOKED DOWN AT MY
STOMACH, I BEGAN TO DIE.
I KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
I KNEW I ONLY HAD A FEW SECONDS
LEFT OF CONSCIOUSNESS.
I REACHED UP AND GRABBED MY
WIFE.
I WANTED TO TELL HER HOW MUCH I
LOVED HER.
SHE IS AN INCREDIBLE PERSON.
I BEGAN TO RISE OUT OF MY BODY
UP INTO THAT ROOM.
I HAD NEVER BEEN MORE ALIVE.
TERRY: WERE YOU AFRAID?
NO.
THAT WAS THE INCREDIBLE THING.
I HAD NEVER FELT SUCH PEACE AND
LOVE.
I COULD SEE EVERYTHING DOWN
BELOW ME.
I SAID THIS IS VERY INTERESTING.
LEAVE IT TO A LAWYER.
[LAUGHTER].
TERRY: I WAS JUST GOING TO
SAY.
[LAUGHTER].
I WAS WATCHING EVERYTHING IN
COMPLETE PEACE.
THEN THE LIGHT ENTERED.
TERRY: TELL US ABOUT THAT.
BEGAN AT THE CEILING, TERRY.
IT FILTERED OUT.
I STRUGGLE FOR THE WORDS, IT WAS
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I HAD
EVER SEEN.
ONLY THING I COULD COMPARE IT
TO, YOU SEE THE SON'S RAYS AND
KNOW IT IS THERE.
MULTIPLY IT TIMES A THOUSAND.
INCREDIBLE.
IT BEGAN TO FELTER IN THAT ROOM,
COLORS CAME FLOODING OUT.
MY SENSES BECAME ENHANCED.
TERRY: WHAT WERE YOU
THINKING AT THIS POINT?
I WAS ABSORBING IT ALL.
I WAS ENJOYING IT.
I WAS IN COMPLETE PEACE AND
COMFORT.
I WAS OVERWHELMED BY WHAT WAS
HAPPENING TO ME.
THERE WAS NO PAIN AND NO FEAR.
NOTHING BUT SWEETNESS.
TERRY: WHERE WERE YOU AT
SPIRITUALLY?
I HAD BEEN A CHRISTIAN SINCE
I WAS A TEENAGER.
LOVED GOD.
HELPED SUNDAY SCHOOL.
I HAVE HAD A LOVE FOR GOD IN A
LONG TIME.
I NEVER UNDERSTOOD HOW MUCH HE
LOVED ME.
I HAD BEEN TOLD ALL ABOUT IT.
I READ IT.
TERRY: SUDDENLY, YOU ARE IN
THE PRESENCE OF WHAT YOU ARE
SENSING GOD HIMSELF.
WHAT DID THAT DO TO YOU AS A
PERSON, AS A CHRISTIAN?
AT THE MOMENT IT OVERWHELMED
ME.
HAD I HAD A BODY, I WOULD HAVE
GONE TO THE FLOOR.
NOTHING LIKE HAVING GOD POUR
INTO YOUR SOUL.
I WAS OVERWHELMED BY IT.
YOU ARE IN THIS AMAZING
PLACE, FEELING AND SEEING
EVERYTHING.
HOW DID YOU WIND UP GOING BACK
INTO YOUR BODY?
DURING THIS PROCESS, GOD
INFUSED A NUMBER OF THINGS INTO
ME.
I HAD A FLEEDING THOUGHT, WHAT
ABOUT MADELINE, MY WIFE.
WHAT ABOUT MY SON?
IT WAS A FLEETING THOUGHT.
I WANTED TO BE WITH GOD, BUT I
HAD A FLEETING THOUGHT.
GOD SAID YOU ARE GOING TO GO
BACK.
WHAT DID YOU FEEL THEN?
MOST IMMEDIATE THING THAT
HAPPENED, EVERYTHING STOPPED
BELOW ME.
WHAT ABOUT MADELINE AND WILL.
IT WAS IF SOMEONE PUT A PAUSE
BUTTON.
EVERYTHING WENT SILENT.
IT WAS COMPLETE PEACE.
I SHOT BACK IN MY BODY LIKE I
HAD BEEN HIT BY A LIGHTNING
BOLT.
THE DOCTOR WAS SAYING I HAVE TO
GET HIM BACK IN SURGERY.
HOW AM I GOING TO GET CONSENT.
HE SAID YOU CAN GIVE CONSENT.
TERRY: YOU TALK ABOUT GOD
INFUSING THINGS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
GOD LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU
HAVE EVER KNOWN.
HE LOVES YOU BEYOND ANYTHING WE
HAVE EVER KNOWN.
IF WE FULLY UNDERSTOOD THE LOVE
HE HAS, WE WOULD WAKE UP WITH
DIFFERENT PRIORITIES.
TERRY, I USED TO WAKE UP WITH A
KNOT IN MY STOMACH.
I WAKE UP WITH JOY IN MY HEART.
I HAVE TO BECOME A BETTER
PERSON.
BECOMING A BETTER PERSON DOESN'T
GET YOU TO HEAVEN.
YOU GET TO HEAVEN THROUGH CHRIST
AND HIS BLOOD.
WHEN I WAS PLACED UP TO GOD'S
LIGHTED, I REALIZED ALL THE
TIMES I COULD HAVE HELPED OTHERS
AND BROUGHT THEM TO CHRIST AND
FAILED TO DO IT
TERRY: WHEN YOU FEEL HIS
INTENSE LOVE, IT MAKES YOU WANT
TO LIVE DIFFERENTLY.
HOW DO YOU THINK THIS CHANGED
YOU?
I WAKE UP WITH PEACE AND JOY.
MY CAREER IS NOT EVERYTHING.
TERRY: YES.
MY GOD IS.
TERRY: YES.
IT CHANGES EVERYTHING.
YOU THINK AND FEEL DIFFERENTLY.
I LOVE WHAT I CAN DO.
I HAVE AN INCREDIBLE FIRM I WORK
WITH.
THE PEOPLE I WORK ARE WONDERFUL
LOVING PEOPLE.
WE LOVE WORKING TOGETHER.
I STILL LOVE WHAT I DO.
NOTHING SWEETER THAN GOD'S LOVE.
TERRY: THAT IS AN AMAZING
POWERFUL PICTURE OF GOD DROPPING
HIMSELF INTO THE MIDDLE OF
SOMEONE'S LIFE JUST TO SAY I
LOVE YOU.
IT IS INCREDIBLE.
TERRY: WE HEAR THAT OVER AND
OVER AGAIN JEFF, EYE HAS NOT
SEEN, EAR HAS NOT HEARD THE DEEP
LOVE.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR
STORY.

OF JEFF'S STORY, ALL YOU HAVE TO
DO IS LOG ON TO CBN.COM.

VIDEO VERSION.
YOU'LL HAVE THE CHANCE TO LISTEN
TO WHAT JEFF EXPERIENCED.
PAT?
PAT: WONDERFUL.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HEAVEN IS
REAL.
HELL IS REAL.
LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN
THERE.
ALL THIS WEEK WE ARE TELLING YOU
STORIES OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE GONE
BEYOND THE VEIL.
COMING UP, WE ARE ANSWERING YOUR
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE AFTER LIFE,
INCLUDING ONE, ARE THERE SPORTS
IN HEAVEN.
A YOUNG BOY THAT SAYS HE HAS THE
ANSWER.
WE'LL LET HIM DO THAT COMING UP
NEXT.
I ENDED UP IN A PLACE THAT WAS
COMPLETE TORMENT.
MY BODY WAS BURNING.
I NO LONGER WAS LONELY.
I WAS NO LONGER DEPRESSED.
I BECAME DEPRESSION.
I BECAME LONELINESS.
I BECAME A TORMENTED BEING OF
FEAR.
AS I BEGAN LOOKING OUT AND SAW
ALL OF THESE OTHER PEOPLE AND
EVERYBODY WAS SCREAMING IN PAIN,
THE MUTUAL THING EVERYONE SHARED
THERE WAS THEIR DESIRE TO SCREAM
OUT TO EVERYBODY ON EARTH, DO
NOT COME HERE.
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT LIFE IS ABOUT
JESUS CHRIST.@@@@
PAT: LISTEN, THIS WEEK IS
GOING TO BE FANTASTIC.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS ONE
SINGLE EPISODE.
THESE ARE POWERFUL.
WHEN YOU GET RIGHT DOWN TO IT?
WHAT IS IMPORTANT.
APOSTLE PAUL, EVERYTHING I HAVE
GOTTEN, NOT HAVING RIGHTEOUSNESS
OF MY OWN BUT IN GOD IN CHRIST.
IF I MADE ACHIEVE THE
RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD.
I WANT TO BE THERE TO BE
RESURRECTED TO BE PART OF
PARADISE WITH HIM.
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.
BOY.
WELL, LET'S TALK ABOUT SPORTS.
SOCCER.
SOME NATIONS CALL IT FUTBUL.
IT IS THE WORLD'S MOST POPULAR
SPORT.
ONE NIGERIAN BOY NAMED ABRAHAM,
HE PLAYED THERE.
WE'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN WE SEE IT.
SIX-YEAR-OLD ABRAHAM WAS ALL
HIS MOTHER ANGEL HAD.
HER HUSBAND LEFT THEM WHEN HE
WAS THREE MONTHS OLD.
ABRAHAM WAS ALWAYS SICK.
I LOVED MY SON SO MUCH.
I DID ALL I COULD TO SAVE HIM.
HE SUFFERED FROM ASTHMA SINCE HE
WAS A BABY.
I WORKED HARD FINDING DOMESTIC
JOBS TO HELP PAY HIS BILLS.
ONE DAY HE WAS BARELY BREATHING.
BY THE TIME THEY CAME TO THE
HOSPITAL, ABRAHAM HAS ASTHMA,
TUBERCULOSIS, HIS BREATHING WAS
LABORED.
I TOLD THEM TO GO HOME.
ABRAHAM NEVER MADE IT.
HE DIED ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE
HOSPITAL.
WHEN I DISCOVERED HE WAS
DEAD, I WANTED TO DIE MYSELF.
ABRAHAM'S BODY KEPT UNTIL THE
NEXT DAY.
SOMEONE SAY THEY SHOULD CALL AN
EVANGELIST, THE PASTOR
ENCOURAGED THEM AND THEY SHOULD
BELIEVE IN GOD.
THEN HE SAID A PRAYER AND PLA ED
ED TAPES OF CBN SHOWS.
HOW CAN I PERSON WHO DIED
OVER 24 HOURS AGO RISE AGAIN.
I WAS ENCOURAGED ALL THINGS ARE
POSSIBLE.
AS THE CROWD WATCHED CBN'S
TURNING POINT, ONE OF THE HOST
BEGAN TO PRAY FOR MIRACLES.
AN AMAZING THING HAPPENED.
WE WERE ALL SURPRISED TO SEE
THE BODY MOVE.
HE CAME BACK TO LIFE.
PEOPLE WERE SHOCKED.
THEN HE AROSE.
WE THANKED GOD.
IT IS NO STORY.
IT HAPPENED.
THE BOY WAS DEAD.
AFTER 24 HOURS, HE ROSE UP
AGAIN.
IMMEDIATELY A GREAT
CELEBRATION BROKE OUT IN THE
VILLAGE.
DOZENS OF PEOPLE GAVE THEIR
LIVES TO CHRIST INCLUDING THE
DOCTOR THAT TREATED ABRAHAM.
I WAS AN IDOL WORSHIPPER.
I ACCEPTED CHRIST, MANY OF MY
DOCTOR FRIENDS GIVE THEIR LIVES
TO CHRIST, TOO.
WHEN ABRAHAM WENT BACK TO THE
HOSPITAL, THE DOCTOR GAVE HIM A
CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH.
HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ASTHMA
ANYMORE.
WE CAN HARDLY REMEMBER WHAT IT
WAS LIKE TO BE SICK.
ABRAHAM HAS VIVID MEMORIES.
WE PLAYED A SOCCER GAME AND I
SCORED.
SO THEY SAID I SHOULD GO BACK
HOME.
THANK GOD FOR CBN AFRICA.
THIS MIRACLE HAS TRULY CHANGED
THE LIVES OF OVERS.
PAT: GREAT.
SWEET LITTLE BOY.
YOU HAVE TESTIMONYS?
TERRY: WE ARE GOING TO DO
E-MAIL IN A BIT.
YOU ARE WATCHING A STORY IN
AFRICA, CBN IS DOING WORK
WORLDWIDE.
YOU HAVE OFTEN SAID THE SUN
NEVER SETS ON THE WORK OF CBN.
IT IS TRUE, REALLY.
WE ARE GOING TO ASK PEOPLE TO BE
PART OF THAT.
BEING IN PLACES WITH THE GOSPEL
MESSAGE.
WE ARE SHARING THESE STORIES
LIFE CHANGED OF JESUS CHRIST.
PARTNER WITH US, JOIN THE "700
CLUB," WE WELCOME YOU, $20 A
MONTH 65 CENTS A DAY. CALL THE
NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN, SAY I
WANT TO JOIN THE "700 CLUB." YOU
WANT TO ANSWER E-MAIL?
PAT: LET'S GO FOR IT.
TERRY: WHY WAS HELL CREATED.
WHO DID GOD CREATE IT FOR?
DOES GOD SEND THE PERSON TO
HEAVEN?
DOES THE PERSON CHOOSE TO GO TO
HELL.
PAT: BIBLE SAYS HELL WAS MADE
FOR DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS.
GOD MADE THE UNIVERSE PERFECT.
UNTIL PRIDE CAME IN, HE GAVE THE
ANGELS THE OPPORTUNITY TO
WORSHIP HIM AND LIVE IN
PARADISE.
ONE SAID I CAN DO A BETTER JOB
OF RUNNING THE UNIVERSE, THERE
WAS A REVOLT IN HEAVEN AND THE
ANGELS CAME INTO THAT REBELLION.
HELL WAS SET UP FOR DEVIL AND
HIS ANGELS.
NOT FOR PEOPLE.
THIS WAS A NEW EXPERIMENT IN THE
SENSE THAT GOD MADE ON EARTH TO
SHOW THAT THE PRINCIPALITIES IN
POWER LOVE WOULD TRIUMPH.
THAT IS WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT.
IN THE PROCESS, PEOPLE WHO
VOLUNTARILY CHOOSE TO FOLLOW
SATAN WILL GO WHERE SATAN GOES.
FOR THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS
PREPARED FOR THE DEVIL AND HIS
ANGELS THE LAKE OF FIRE.
DO PEOPLE GET SENT TO HELL OR
VOLUNTARILY CHOOSE?
THEY CHOOSE NOT TO FOLLOW THE
LORD.
THEY CHOOSE TO DO THEIR OWN
WILL.
GOD SAYS SINCE YOU WON'T ACCEPT
MY WILL, I AM GOING TO LET YOU
HAVE YOUR WILL.
YOUR WILL IS TO BE WHERE I AM
NOT.
YOU WON'T BE THERE.
AS A RESULT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
BE A PART FROM GOD AND A PART
FROM GOD IS HELL.
YOUR OWN CHOICE.
TERRY: SOMETIMES WE CHOOSE
BY NOT CHOOSING.
JANE SAYS MY BOYS ASK ME WHY IS
ANYONE SENT TO HELL IF GOD
FORGIVES ALL?
PAT: IF SOMEONE CONTINUES TO
BE A REBEL, HE IS GOING TO
CONTINUE TO BE A REBEL.
GOD HAS GIVEN HIM FREE WILL.
HE HAS A WHOLE LIFETIME.
LET'S FACE IT.
GOSPEL IS AVAILABLE.
WE ARE HERE ON TELEVISION ALL
ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND ALL
AROUND THE WORLD AND TRUE OF
DOZENS OF MINISTRIES AND
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF
CHURCHES.
GOSPEL IS BEING PREACHED
EVERYWHERE.
PEOPLE HAVE FREE WILL.
IF THEY DON'T CHOOSE IT, IT IS
THEIR OWN FAULT.
TERRY: I HEARD WE BECOME
ANGELS AFTER WE DIE.
IS THERE ANY BASIS?
NONE WHATSOEVER.
WE ARE LIKE THE ANGELS.
WE AREN'T ANGELS.
WE ARE SEXLESS BEINGS.
WE DON'T REPRODUCE IN HEAVEN.
IN THAT CASE -- WE DON'T HAVE
BODIES, WE HAVE SPIRITUAL
BODIES.
WE CAN DO THINGS THAT ANGELS CAN
DO.
WE ARE NOT ANGELS.
WE ARE NOW A LITTLE LOWER THAN
ANGELS.
THE TIME WE ARE RULING WITH
CHRIST ABOVE THE ANGELS.
WE WILL ACTUALLY JUDGE THE ANGEL
TERRY: ANNA, WHEN YOU GO TO
HEAVEN -- WILL HELL BE FOREVER.
PAT: GOD WILL REALLY PUNISH
YOU.
YES, HE WILL.
TERRIBLE THING TO FALL INTO THE
HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD.
GOD IS NOT MOCKED.
HE IS LOVING TO BE SURE.
BUT LOVE ALSO HAS WITH IT
COMPETENTNESS OF JUSTICE AND
MERCY TRUMPS JUSTICE.
THERE IS JUSTICE.
SOONER OR LATER GOD IS GOING TO
GIVE US WHAT WE DESERVE.
UNFORTUNATELY HELL IS FOREVER.
THE LAKE OF FIRE BURNS FOREVER.
THERE IS NO END.
THAT'S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE FOR
THIS PROGRAM. TOMORROW WE'LL
HEAR FROM A DOCTOR THAT WENT TO
HEAVEN, CRACK ADDICT THAT WENT
TO HELL.
JESUS ANSWERED I AM THE WAY, THE
TRUTH AND THE LIFE.
NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER
EXCEPT THROUGH ME.
SEE YOU TOMORROW, BYE-BYE.
