YOU KNOW THERE IS
SOMETHING THERE.
Lee: LIKE FATHER --
MY FATHER'S SIDE CAME
FROM A FAMILY OF WITCHES AND
WARLOCKS.
Lee: LIKE SON.
I WAS COMMITTED TO THE
DEMON.
I WAS COMMITTED TO THE
DEVIL.
THE DEVIL SAID TO ME, I'LL
GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT,
JUST ASK.
Lee: AND HIS SOLEMN
VOW?
I WILL WORSHIP HIM UNTIL
THE DAY I DIE.

Pat: WELL, WELCOME,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO
THIS EDITION OF "THE 700
CLUB."
AND NEXT TO ME, DRESSED IN
IRISH GREEN, IS THE DAUGHTER
OF -- ARE YOU IRISH?
Terry: I -- WELL, NO.
MAYBE SOMEWHERE IN THERE,
YOU KNOW.
Pat: YOU'VE GOT A
LITTLE -- WHAT IS IT, CRAB
CRABTRY.
Kristi: CRABTREE IS MY
MAIDEN NAME -- I THINK IT'S
IRISH.
Pat: DAW IS YOUR
BIRTHDAY?
Kristi: IT IS.
WHERE IS MY BIRTHDAY SONG.
Pat: I DON'T SING, BUT
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
YOU MADE 29.
Kristi: I DID.
29.
Pat: HAPPY TO YOU,
KRISTI.
AMERICANS IN THE NORTHEAST,
ARE NOT EXACTLY REJOICING,
BUT THEY'RE BEGINNING TO
CLEANUP AFTER A SERIOUS
ONSLAUGHT BY SUPERSANDY.
IT LEFT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
WITHOUT POWER IN AT LEAST 18
STATES, AND AT LEAST 50
PEOPLE ARE DEAD.
Kristi: SANDY IS
EXPECTED TO COST $50 BILLION
OR MORE.
WE HAVE A REPORT FROM CBN
NEWS ON THE STORM AND ITS
AFTERMATH.
Reporter: CLEANUP
BEGINS IN ERNEST TODAY
ACROSS MUCH OF THE
NORTHEAST.
NEW YORK CITY IS SLOWLY
COMING BACK TO LIFE.
MASS TRANSIT REMAINS DOWN AS
CREWS DRAIN WATERS FROM THE
TUNNELS AND THE SUBWAY.
LAQUARDIA AIRPORT REMAINS
CLOSED, DUE TO SEVERE
FLOODING.
MUCH OF THE TARMAC STILL
COMPLETELY UNDER WATER.
THERE IS AN IMPACT ON
EVERY OTHER AIRPORT BECAUSE
SO MANY PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO
FLY TO AND FROM THE EAST
COAST, AND NEW YORK CITY
SPECIFICALLY.
Reporter: THE NEW YORK
STOCK EXCHANGE IS OPEN TODAY
AFTER BEING CLOSED TWO DAYS
BECAUSE OF WEATHER.
WITH THE ELECTRICITY OUT, A
NEW CONCERN FOR THE CITY,
LOOTING.
REPORTS ARE COMING IN FROM
THE BRONX TO BROOKLYN, EVEN
CONEY ISLAND, OF PEOPLE
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE
DAMAGE TO THE CITY.
CBN NEWS TALK TO THE
PRESIDENT OF THE BENEVOLENT
ASSOCIATION.
THE BAD GUYS WILL TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF ANY
CIRCUMSTANCE.
WILL IS SUCH A THING AS
RIGHT AND WRONG, AND THERE
IS SUCH A THING AS GOOD AND
EVIL.
AND THE EVIL WILL COME OUT
WHEN THE BE ELECTRICITY GOES
OUT.
Reporter: GOVERNOR
CHRIS CHRISTIE SAYS THE
DAMAGE IS MORE THAN HE EVER
IMAGINED.
WE'LL REBUILD IT, NO
QUESTION IN MY MIND, WE'LL
REBUILD IT.
BUT FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE
MY AGE, IT WON'T BE THE
SAME.
Reporter: CBN'S
"OPERATION BLESSING" IS
PREPARING FOR WORK IN THOM'S
RIVER.
THEY WILL BE GOING OUT
DOING AN A DAMAGE ASSESSMENT
AND TALKING TO RESIDENTS.
AND IN OUR CONVOY, WE HAVE
CONSTRUCTION TRAILERS, AND
WE CAN FEED 2,000 HOT MEALS
A DAY.
NOT ONLY ARE WE PREPARED FOR
HURRICANE DAMAGE, BUT THIS
IS A WINTER STORM AS WELL.
Reporter: FURTHER
INLAND, SANDY IS BRINGING
BLIZZARD-LIKE CONDITIONS.
EIGHT STATES ARE GETTING
HEAVY SNOW, WITH THE
HEAVIEST SO FAR IN WEST
VIRGINIA.
WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP
INSIDE, AND WE GO OUT AND
GET KEROSENE IF WE NEED IT,
AND HOPE WE DON'T HAVE TO
WAIT SO LONG WITHOUT POWER.
Reporter: IN THE
HIGHEST ELEVATIONS, MORE
THAN THREE FEET IS POSSIBLE
BY THURSDAY.
EPHRAIM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS.
Reporter: THIS IS
CHARLENE ISRAEL.
NEW YORKERS ARE PICKING UP
THE PIECES AFTER HURRICANE
SANDY LEFT THOUSANDS IN THE
DARK WITHOUT POWER.
THE STORM DEALT IS BIG BLOW
TO THE CITY'S ENTIRE
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM,
HALTING ITS TRAIN AND SUBWAY
SYSTEMS.
HERE AT HIS SUBWAY STATION
IN BATTERY PARK, IT IS
COMPLETELY FLOODED.
FLOODWATERS CAME UP ABOUT
TWO FEET.
TRANSIT WORKS WENT DOWN TO
SURVEY THE DAMAGE, AND THEY
SAY THE FLOODING IS THE
WORST THEY'VE EVER SEEN.
SOME 80 HOMES WERE DESTROYED
IN A FLOODED QUEENS
NEIGHBORHOOD.
LOW-LYING AREAS HAVE BEEN
SWAMPED FROM SANDY'S MASSIVE
STORM SURGE.
INSIDE THIS APARTMENT
BUILDING IN LOWER MANHATTAN,
YOU CAN SEE THE FLOODWATERS
ARE STILL HERE.
IT ACTUALLY HAS GOTTEN UP TO
10 FEET, AS YOU CAN SEE ON
THIS WALL.
RESIDENTS THEY HAVE NEVER
SEEN ANYTHING AS BAD AS
THIS.
I EXPERIENCED THE WATER
UP TO MY SIDE.
YOUR SIDE?
YEAH.
Reporter: THAT'S PRETTY
HIGH.
THERE IS ALL OF THAT
WATER, AND IT TACK ABOUT
HALF AN HOUR.
Reporter: THIS WOMAN
WITNESSED THE EXPLOSION OF
HER TRANSFORMER IN HER LOWER
MANHATTAN COMMUNITY.
SHE REGRETS NOT HEEDING
ORDERS TO LEAVE.
I AM TRAUMATIZED.
I DID NOT EXPECT SANDY TO BE
LIKE THIS.
I THOUGHT IT WASN'T GOING TO
BE THAT SERIOUS.
NEXT TIME THEY SAY EVACUATE,
I'M EVACUATING.
Reporter: WORKERS WILL
STAY ON THE JOB THROUGH THE
NIGHT, RESTORING THE CITY
THAT NEVER SLEEPS, TO ITS
FORMER BU BUSYNESS.
Pat: THANKS, CHARLENE.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I
LIVED IN MANHATTAN, I'VE
LIVED IN QUEENS, I'VE LIVED
IN BROOKLYN, AND I WORKED ON
THE EDGE OF THE BRONX.
I'M FAMILIAR WITH WHAT GOES
ON IN NEW YORK CITY.
I WANT TO SAY THIS, THE NEW
YORKERS IN THE TIME OF
EMERGENCY, THEY ARE VERY
COMPASSIONATE PEOPLE.
THEY PULL TOGETHER FOR THEIR
CITY, AND THEY PULL TOGETHER
FOR THOSE LESS FORTUNATE.
I COMMEND THE FIREFIGHTERS,
THE EMERGENCY WORKERS.
THEY WORK LIKE CRAZY TO KEEP
IN ORDER, AND THEY'RE GOOD
FOLKS.
I THINK WE SHOULD PRAY AGAIN
FOR PEOPLE IN THAT AREA.
DOWN HERE WE HAD SOME WIND,
A FEW TREES DOWN, AND SOME
FLOODING, BUT NOTHING OF
WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN NEW
JERSEY AND NEW YORK.
KRISTI, WE WANT TO PRAY
RIGHT NOW.
FATHER, WE JOIN TOGETHER AND
PRAY FOR THESE PEOPLE IN THE
NORTHEAST WHO ARE SUFFERING,
THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE POWER,
THOSE WHO ARE IN COLD, THOSE
WHO HAVE SEEN THEIR
POSSESSIONS LOST THROUGH
FLOODING.
WE ASK, LORD, THAT YOU MIGHT
STAND WITH THEM.
GIVE THEM COMFORT AND HOPE
IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
AND WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR
BLESSING, IN YOUR HOLY
NAME.
AMEN.
Kristi: AMEN.
Pat: IT IS MAYBE ONCE
IN A THOUSAND YEARS --
THEY'RE NOT SURE.
WE'RE IN HURRICANE ALLEY
HERE, AND FOR SOME REASON
THAT STORM BYPASSED THE
VIRGINIA CAPES, AND IT DID
SOME FLOODING, BUT THEN IT
HOOKED INTO THE NORTHEAST IN
A RATHER STRANGE TRACK AND
THEN MET ANOTHER STORM
COMING FROM THE WEST.
AND IT WAS A MESS.
I TALKED TO SOMEBODY I KNOW
UP IN THE WESTERN PART OF
VIRGINIA, AND HE SAID IN HIS
AREA, THREE INCHES OF SNOW.
BUT UP IN THE WEST POCO
SNOWSHOE, THEY HAD TWO FEET
OF SNOW.
ALL OF WEST VIRGINIA, IT IS
VERY SERIOUS.
TREES ARE DOWN.
THEY WERE WITHOUT POWER AND
WATER.
Kristi: THAT'S THE
THING, THERE ARE OVER FIVE
MILLION PEOPLE WITHOUT
POWER.
MY PARENTS INCLUDED AND MY
SISTERS INCLUDED.
THEY ALL LIVE IN NEW
JERSEY.
THEY HAVEN'T HAD POWER FOR
TWO DAYS, AND IT'S COLD.
Pat: HOW ARE THEY
DOING?
FORTUNATELY FOR MY
PARENTS, I CALLED THEM AND
THEIR PHONE LINE STILL
WORKS.
THEY'VE GOT THE FIREPLACE,
AND THEY'VE GOT A GAS STOVE,
WHICH IS A BLESSING.
MY OTHER SISTER, NOT ONLY
DID SHE NOT HAVE POWER, A
HUGE TREE FELL AND SHE IS
TRAPPED.
SHE CAN'T GET IN OR OUT.
ANOTHER ONE OF MY FRIENDS, A
TREE COLLAPSED IN THE BACK
OF HER PORCH.
SHE CALLED ME, AND SHE SAID
THE TREE COLLAPSED, TWO
INCHES AWAY FROM MY SON
HEAD.
I SAID, ARE YOU OKAY?
AND I SAID WE'RE PRAYING,
AND SHE SAID YEAH, THE HEDGE
OF PRAYER SAVED THEM AND
THEY ARE OKAY.
Pat: LEE WEBB TELLS US
WHAT THE CANDIDATES ARE
DOING NOW.
Lee: THAT'S OKAY, PAT.
I'LL ANSWER ANYTHING.
PRESIDENT OBAMA IS SKIPPING
VISITS TO BATTLEGROUND
STATES FOR THE THIRD
STRAIGHT DAY.
INSTEAD, HE WILL TOUR
ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY,
WITH GOVERNOR CHRIS
CHRISTIE.
I UNDERSTAND WE JUST GOT
WORD THAT THE PRESIDENT WILL
RESUME HIS CAMPAIGN
TOMORROW.
MEANWHILE, MITT ROMNEY
RETURNS TO THE CAMPAIGN
TRAIL TODAY.
HE CANCELLED EIGHT EVENTS IN
FIVE STATES BECAUSE OF THE
STORM.
JUST SIX DAYS BEFORE THE
ELECTION, POLLS STILL SHOW A
VERY CLOSE RACE.
ROMNEY HAS A SLIGHT LEAD OF
49 TO 47% IN THE RASMUSSEN
NATIONAL TRACKING SURVEY,
WITH THE MARGIN OF ERROR.
RACES IN THE BATTLEGROUND
STATES ALSO REMAIN TIGHT.
A GROUP OF CHRISTIANS IS
PRAYING ON THE WHITE HOUSE
LAWN IN ADVANCE OF THE
ELECTION.
THEY HAVE BEEN AT IT 24/7
SINCE LATE SEPTEMBER.
HOW THEY OBTAINED THAT PLOT
OF LAND SO CLOSE TO THE
EXECUTIVE MANSION IS A STORY
IN ITSELF.
WENDY GRIFFITH WENT THERE TO
CHECK IT OUT.
Reporter: DURING A TIME
OF FASTING AND PRAYER, JASON
HERSHEY ASKED THE LORD, HOW
CAN I INTERCEDE FOR AMERICA
IN 2012?
HE FEEL LIKE HE SAID DO
WHAT KING DAVID DID.
WHEN WE WENT TO GET THE
PERMIT, THE PARK SERVICE
ACTUALLY SUGGESTED -- THEY
SAID, HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT
THE WHITE HOUSE TO THE
LEFT.
Reporter: DO YOU THINK
THE PRESIDENT KNOWS YOU ALL
ARE OUT THERE?
WE KNOW HE KNOWS WE'RE
OUT THERE.
THE PARK SERVICE ASSURED US
THAT THIS CLOSE TO THE WHITE
HOUSE, THEY ABSOLUTELY ARE
REQUIRED TO REPORT TO THE
PRESIDENT EVERYTHING THAT
HAPPENS HERE.
Reporter: HERSHEY SAYS
THE GOAL IS NOT POLITICAL.
AT THE TIME WHERE THERE
IS THIS GREAT DEBATE AT
WHICH WAY THE COUNTRY IS
HEADING, WE WANT TO PUT A
TARGET ON JESUS AND SAY SEEK
FIRST HIS KINGDOM AND HIS
RIGHRIGHTEOUSNESS AND ALL
THING WILL BE GIVEN TO
YOU.
Reporter: AND IT SAYS
HERE ON THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN
IS THE KEY THAT WILL TURN
THIS NATION AROUND.
SHOUTS OF JOY AND VICTORY
RESOUND FROM THE TENTS OF
THE RIGHTEOUS.
WE BELIEVE THIS TENT HAS TO
HAVE A SOUND EMANATING FROM
IT OF SOUND AND VICTORY.
Reporter: PEOPLE FROM
ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE
JOINED THIS EFFORT TO PRAY
FOR AMERICA.
INCLUDING THIS YOUTH GROUP
FROM A MISSION BASE IN
HAWAII.
IT IS SERIOUSLY
INCREDIBLE.
I'M SO HAPPY TO BE HERE.
MY HOPE FOR THE RESULT IS TO
JUST SEE PEOPLE COME BACK TO
GOD.
*
WELL, I JUST LIKE THE
LORD REALLY CALLED ME HERE.
HE WAS LIKE, HEY, YOU HAVE A
HEART FOR ME, WORSHIP ME.
YOU HAVE TO PRAISE MY NAME.
I FELT LIKE HE WAS, LIKE, A
SIGN.
Reporter: HERSHEY SAYS
IT IS VERY SIGNIFICANT TO BE
THIS CLOSE TO THE OVAL
OFFICE.
I THINK IT IS A PROPHETIC
STATEMENT FROM THE LORD
HIMSELF, THAT HE SHOULD BE
AT THE HIGHEST PLACE IN
EVERY SECTOR OF SOCIETY IN
AMERICA.
I ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE THAT
THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD IS
THE STRATEGY.
WHERE HE IS, EVERYTHING
CHANGES.
Reporter: WENDY
GRIFFITH, CBN NEWS, THE
WHITE HOUSE.
Lee: DURING THE STORM,
DAVID'S TENT MOVED THEIR
WORSHIP TO FAITH TABERNACLE
CHURCH, BUT THEY PLAN TO
MOVE BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE
LAWN AS SOON AS THE WEATHER
PERMITS.
THEY WILL STAY THROUGH
ELECTION DAY.
DAVID'S TENT, BY THE WAY,
WELCOMES VISITORS.
YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT
THEM BY GOING TO
CBNNEWS.COM.
NOW FOR MORE ABOUT PRAYING
FOR AMERICA, LET'S GO BACK
TO PAT.
Pat: WE SET 40 DAYS OF
PRAYING, AND WE'RE
CONTINUING THAT RIGHT UP TO
THE ELECTION.
THIS IS A CRUCIAL ELECTION.
GOD LOVES THIS COUNTRY, AND
I WANT YOU TO KNOW AMERICA
IS NOT FINISHED.
DON'T LISTEN TO THESE
PROPHETS OF DOOM THAT WRITE
THIS COUNTRY OFF.
YES, THERE ARE MANY THINGS
HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY
THAT ARE DISPLEASING TO GOD,
NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.
AND THE WRATH MAY COME ONE
DAY, BUT RIGHT NOW GOD STILL
HAS A PURPOSE FOR AMERICA,
AND WE WANT TO PRAY THAT HIS
WILL WILL BE FULFILLED.
SO WILL YOU PLEASE JOIN US
NOW.
SOMEBODY SAYS I WANT TO PRAY
FOR A SPIRITUAL RENEWAL,
ASKING GOD FOR HIS MERCY,
AND FOR THE SCHOOLS ACROSS
AMERICA, FOR THE STUDENTS,
THE STAFF, AND THE
FACULTIES.
WHAT ELSE?
Kristi: HELP
RESTORATION FOR THE VICTIMS
OF DISASTER SANDY AND OTHER
DISASTERS AROUND THE WORLD.
ALSO UNITY IN THE NATION, IN
EVERY HOME, IN EVERY FAMILY,
AND EVERY MARRIAGE.
Pat: LORD, WE JOIN,
ONCE AGAIN, WITH PEOPLE ALL
ACROSS THIS NATION.
OVER A QUARTER OF A MILLION
SAID THEY'LL PRAY WITH US,
AND WE PRAY WITH THEM THAT
WE MIGHT SEE A GREAT MOVE OF
GOD IN THIS NATION.
LORD, THIS ELECTION IS IN
YOUR HAND.
THE KING'S HEART IS IN THE
HAND OF THE LORD.
HE TURNS IT LIKE WATER.
LORD, YOU SET UP LEADERS AND
YOU TAKE DOWN LEADERS.
AND WE PRAY, GOD, THAT YOU
MIGHT HAVE YOUR WILL IN THIS
NATION.
BRING US THE GODLY MEN AND
WOMEN TO MAKE WISE DECISIONS
FOR ALL OF US AS A PEOPLE.
IN JESUS' NAME, HEAR OUR
PRAYER.
AMEN.
Kristi: AMEN.
Pat: AND AMEN.
NOW, WE'RE GOING TO BE
TALKING ABOUT HEAVEN AND
HELL.
THIS HAS REALLY TOUCHED
PEOPLE.
THE ELECTION IS COMING UP,
SURE.
BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN YOU
DIE?
WHERE DO YOU GO?
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH?
IS THERE LIFE AFTER DEATH?
AND WHAT ABOUT HEAVEN?
WHAT ABOUT HELL?
WE HAVE EYE WITNESS REPORTS
THIS WHOLE WEEK.
AND KRISTI IS GOING TO TELL
US WHAT WE'VE GOT TODAY.
Kristi: I AM, PAT.
COMING UP ON "THE 700 CLUB,"
THE TEENAGER FINDS THE
FATHER HE ALWAYS WANTED, THE
DEVIL HIMSELF.
WE HAD TO DRESS HIM LIKE
A FAMILY MEMBER.
MY FATHER, I'M HERE.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK
TO ME ABOUT?
WHAT IS IT YOU WANT ME TO
DO?
Kristi: FIND OUT WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN HE COMES FACE
TO FACE WITH SATAN, WHEN WE
COME BACK.
Pat: WHAT HAPPENS AFTER
WE DIE?
THAT'S A QUESTION EVERYBODY
WANTS TO KNOW.
DO YOU GO TO SOME SLEEP?
ARE YOU EXTINGUISHED?
OR DO YOU LIVE ON?
AND IF YOU LIVE ON, WHERE DO
YOU LIVE?
IS THERE A HEAVEN?
IS THERE A HELL?
AND WHAT ARE THEY LIKE?
WELL, WE'RE GOING TO TELL
YOU ABOUT THAT TODAY FROM
EYE WITNESS ACCOUNTS.
TODAY, AS YOU KNOW, IS
HALLOWEEN.
SOME PEOPLE WILL DRESS UP AS
DEVILS AND GO
TRICK-OR-TREATING.
BUT FOR JOHN RAMEREZ, THE
DEVIL WAS MORE THAN A
COSTUME.
HE WAS JOHN'S FATHER.
Reporter: JOHN RAMIREZ
GREW UP IN THE BRONX, WHERE
HIS RELATIVES PRACTICED
SANTALIA.
MY FAMILY WAS WITCHES AND
WARLOCKS.
Reporter: JOHN LONGED
FOR A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS
DAD, BUT HIS FATHER WAS
ABUSIVE.
THERE WAS NO LOVE.
THERE WAS NO COMPASSION.
WE WATCHED HIM BEAT MY
MOTHER IN THE HOUSE.
HE CAME IN DRUNK MOST OF THE
TIME, DEMANDING STUFF,
ASKING FOR STUFF.
IF THINGS WEREN'T DONE A
CERTAIN WAY, THERE WAS
ALWAYS PUT DOWNS, HURTFUL
WORDS, DUMMY, STUPID, YOU'RE
NOT GOING TO AMOUNT TO
NOTHING -- THAT KIND OF
STUFF.
I WOULD STAND BY THE DOOR
AND LOOK TO SEE WHAT HE WAS
UP TO, BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING
TO SEE IF THERE WAS TIME FOR
ME, JUST TO HAVE
INTERACTION, FOR MY DAD AND
I TO DO SOMETHING.
BUT HE WAS CONNECTED TO THE
DEMONS.
Reporter: JOHN'S MOTHER
WAS ALSO INFLUENCEDED
INFLUENCED BY SANTARIA.
THE LADY SAID, I HAD 30
DAYS TO DO THE CARDS OR I
WOULD BE BLIND.
MY MOTHER WAS A GOOD MOTHER,
AND SO WE DID IT.
THEY STARTED CHANTING AND
CALLING THE FIVE MAIN GODS,
THE DEMONS FROM SANTERIA.
Reporter: FROM THAT
POINT, JOHN'S LIFE CHANGED.
MY WHOLE PERSONALITY WAS
NO LONGER THERE.
I FELT LIKE SOMEONE TOOK A
BLANK BLANKET AND CHANGED MY
SPIRITUALLY.
Reporter: JOHN'S
INVOLVEMENT WITH SANTERIA
HAPPENED QUICKLY.
I WAS BEING TAUGHT.
I STARTED SNEAKING INTO
FUNERALS, BU BECAUSE I
WANTED TO GET THAT SOUL.
WHEN DRUG DEALERS DIED IN
THE STREETS, I WANTED TO RUN
OUT AND GET THE BLOOD
BECAUSE I COULD USE THAT
BLOOD TO DO WITCHCRAFT.
PEOPLE KNEW I WAS A FORCE TO
BE RECKONED WITH.
I LIKED THAT POWER.
I WAS TALKED DOWN TO AS A
YOUNG BOY.
NOW I HAD THE AUTHORITY AND
THE POWER SO I COULD DO
WHATEVER I WANT.
Reporter: WHEN JOHN WAS
13, HIS FATHER WAS MURDERED
IN A BAR FIGHT.
JOHN GAVE CREDIT TO THE
DEVIL FOR RELIEVING HIS
MOTHER'S SUFFERING.
I WOULD BE UP AT 5:00 IN
THE MORNING, CALLING OUT TO
GOD, SAYING HELP MY MOTHER.
AND NO ONE SHOWED UP.
BUT THE DEVIL SHOWED UP
BECAUSE HE KILLED MY DAD.
I BELIEVED THE DEVIL WHEN HE
SAID NO ONE LOVES YOU, BUT I
LOVE YOU.
YOUR FATHER CAN'T PROVIDE
FOR YOU, BUT I CAN PROVIDE
FOR YOU.
THE DEVIL SAID, DO THE
RELIGION.
I WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING
YOU WANT, JUST ASK.
Reporter: JOHN SAYS
SATAN BECAME THE FATHER HE
NEVER HAD.
JOHN WAS DEVOTED TO HIM.
I'D LIGHT UP MY CANDLES, AND
I SPIT THE RUM.
AND I SPIT THE CIGAR SMOKE.
IF I DIDN'T HAVE MONEY, I
CUT MYSELF AN AND USED MY
OWN BLOOD AND POURED IT.
THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE OF THE
ROOM CHANGES.
YOU HAVE TO DRESS THEM AS A
FAMILY MEMBER.
MY FATHER, I'M HERE.
WHAT IS IT YOU WANT TO SPEAK
TO ME ABOUT?
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
Reporter: AS TIME WENT
ON, JOHN PRACTICED THE DARK
ART OUTSIDE HIS APARTMENT.
IN CLUBS, I STARTED
LOOKING FOR CHRISTIANS.
I KNEW IF I COULD GET INTO
IT, AND YOU HAD IT IN YOUR
SYSTEM, ALL I HAVE TO DO IS
SAY, LISTEN, I HAVE
SOMETHING TO TELL YOU.
AND YOU WILL OPEN THE DOOR
AND SAY, WHAT IS IT YOU NEED
TO TELL ME, AND YOU GAVE ME
GATEWAY.
Reporter: EVENTUALLY.
HE BECAME A HIGH PRIEST IN A
FORM OF AFRICAN
SPIRITUALISM.
AS HE BECAME MORE POWERFUL,
JOHN TOOK WARFARE MORE
SERIOUSLY.
THE DEVIL TOLD ME
WHATEVER YOU KILL IN THE
SPIRIT ROUND, YOU CAN KILL
IN THE NATURAL.
I WOULD LEAVE MY BODY HOME
AND PROJECT MYSELF IN
DIFFERENT BURROUGHS AND
DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS.
I WOULD SPEAK CURSES AND
SPEAK THINGS I WANTED TO
HAPPEN IN THE
NEIGHBORHOODS.
SOMETIMES I WOULD GO INTO
NEIGHBORHOODS, AND THERE
WOULD BE A GROUP OF PEOPLE
ON THE CORNER, HOLDING
HANDS, PRAYING UP A STORM.
AND THERE WAS NO
ACCOMPLISHMENT IN THEIR
NEIGHBORHOOD.
THAT NEIGHBORHOOD WAS
SANCTIFIED, BLESSED THROUGH
PRAYER.
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU COULDN'T
TOUCH IT.
BUT IN THE OTHER
NEIGHBORHOODS, IT WAS PARTY
TIME.
Reporter: AROUND THAT
TIME, JOHN MET A GIRL WHO
INTRIGUED HIM.
I THOUGHT, I COULD HANG
OUT WITH HER.
SHE IS GOOD-LOOKING, AND SHE
INVITED ME TO CHURCH.
Reporter: AND SHE ALSO
INVITED HIM TO MEET HER
PARENTS, WHO TALKED TO HIM
ABOUT JESUS.
I SAID, YOUR PARENTS ARE
CRAZY.
LET ME DIGEST THE FOOD AND
THEN THEY TALK ABOUT THIS
JESUS GUY.
I THOUGHT I WOULD GO TO
CHURCH AND KILL ANIMALS ALL
NIGHT LOPPING, AND THEN I
WOULD COME BACK AND SEE HER,
BUT SHE DIDN'T KNOW.
Reporter: JOHN FOUND
THE CHRISTIANS AM MOVING
AMUSING AND HARMLESS.
I KEPT COMING TO CHURCH
TO PLEASE HER, BUT I WASN'T
GOING TO LEAVE THE PEOPLE I
WAS COMMITTED TO.
Reporter: ONE SUNDAY
MORNING THE PASTOR GAVE AN
ALTER CALL.
JOHN CAME FORWARD, AND
WASN'T PREPARED FOR WHAT
HAPPENED NEXT.
AW I THOUGHT I WAS
PROTECTED.
I WAS THROWING PEOPLE
AROUND.
AND THEN 200 SOMETHING
PEOPLE GOT UP AND RAISED
UP.
SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
I SAW THE POWER OF GOD IN
THE CHURCH.
ONE OF THE GUYS WAS
WHISPERING IN MY EAR, SAY
JESUS IS LORD.
JESUS IS LORD.
SAY IT.
I COULDN'T OPEN MY HOUSE.
BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN I COULD
SAY IT, JESUS IS LORD, AND
THE DEVIL LEFT.
Reporter: JOHN WAS
EMBARRASSED BY THE OUTBURST,
BUT WAS NOT SURE WHAT TO DO
NEXT.
ONE OF THE ELDERS APPROACHED
HIM A FEW DAYS LATER.
HE SAID JESUS WANTS YOU
TO HAVE THIS.
HE SAID YOU'RE A WARRIOR FOR
CHRIST.
FOR SOMEONE TO SAY THIS IS A
GIFT FROM CHRIST.
HE LOVES YOU.
TO ME, THAT WAS AMAZING.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT
JESUS LOVED ME.
BUT I WAS COMMITTED TO THE
DARK SIDE.
I WAS COMMITTED TO THE
DEMONS.
I WAS COMMITTED TO THE
DEVIL.
Reporter: ONE NIGHT
JOHN DECIDED TO END THE
STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE TWO
WORLDS THE ONLY WAY HE KNEW
HOW.
I SAID, LORD, JESUS CAN'T
HAVE ME, THE DEVIL CAN'T
HAVE ME.
THE BEST WAY OUT IS
SUICIDE.
IN MY IGNORANCE, IN MY
SHAME.
IN MY MIND, I WAS SO FAR
GONE.
SPIRITUALLY DRAINED.
SPIRITUALLY DRAINED.
Reporter: JOHN DIDN'T
KNOW HOW TO PRAY, BUT HE
BEGAN TO TALK TO GOD.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY
CALL YOU, JESUS -- WHATEVER
THEY CALL IN YOU IN CHURCH,
I DON'T LIKE YOU.
I WANT NO DEALINGS WITH
YOU.
I HATE YOU.
I DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF
YOU.
I NEVER WANT TO BE A
CHRISTIAN.
I DISOWN YOU.
IF THAT IS GOING TO GET YOU
AWAY FROM ME, I WILL WORSHIP
THE DEVIL UNTIL THE DAY I
DIE.
I WHISPERED, IF YOU'RE
BIGGER THAN THE GOD I SERVE,
YOU SHOW ME TONIGHT OR LEAVE
ME ALONE.
Reporter: JOHN WENT TO
SLEEP AND DREAMED HE WAS ON
A SUBWAY.
THE DREAM WAS FILLED WITH
PEOPLE, AND WE WERE GOING
SOMEWHERE THAT I KNOW WAS
NOT GOOD.
AS THE TRAIN WAS GOING
FASTER THAN LIGHT, THERE WAS
A LATER DRESSED VERY
ELEGANT.
AND SHE STARTED TALKING TO
ME IN DEMONIC TONGUE,
TRADER, YOU'RE LEAVING US.
I TRIED TO GET IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE TRAIN, IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE PEOPLE, SO SHE WON'T
REACH ME.
A POP HIT, AND THE DOORS
OPENED, AND I ENDED UP IN
HELL.
Reporter: JOHN STEPPED
OUT OF THE SUBWAY IN INTO
THE DARKNESS.
AS I WENT THROUGH THE
TUNNEL TO HELLLY HELL, THE
HEAT IS NOTHING THAT YOU
FEEL ON EARTH.
THERE IS NO HOPE.
HOPE IS REMOVED.
THE DEVIL CAME OUT BIGGER
AND STRONGER.
HE SAYS TO ME --
I'VE BEEN WITH YOU SINCE
YOU WERE NINE YEARS OLD.
I'VE BEEN A FATHER TO YOU.
I'VE GIVEN YOU EVERYTHING.
HE SAID, I'M GOING TO
KEEP YOU HERE.
IF I CAN KEEP YOU HERE, YOU
WON'T WAKE UP, UPSTAIRS,
WHICH IS ON EARTH.
AND HE SAID --
YOU BELONG TO ME.
AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
LEAVE.
YOU KNOW TOO MANY SECRETS
ABOUT MY RELIGION.
WHEN HE WENT TO GRAB ME
TO SNUFF ME, A CROSS WILL
APPEAR IN MY HANDS.
I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW A
CROSS WOULD APPEAR IN MY
HANDS.
I PUT IT ON THE DEVELOP, AND
HE FELT LIKE HE WAS
NOTHING.
HE FELT LIKE HE WAS A BABY.
NO POWERS AT THE FOOT OF THE
CROSS.
Reporter: WHEN JOHN
WOKE UP, HE WAS A CHANGED
MAN.
AND I KNEW THAT JESUS THE
LORD.
I BENT MY KNEE TO THE
CROSS.
AND JESUS CAME INTO MY
LIFE.
I TOOK A WHITE PIECE OF
PAPER, AND I WROTE DOWN I
WAS A SERVANT, A SLAVE OF
JESUS CHRIST.
I WILL SERVE YOU ALL OF THE
DAYS OF MY LIFE.
Reporter: JOHN THREW
OUT ALL OF THE DEVELOP
PARAPHERNALIA, BUT THE
BATTLE WASN'T OVER.
AT NIGHT, I WOULD FEEL
THE PRESENCE COME INTO THE
ROOM.
SOMETIMES I WOULD SEE WHAT
WAS THERE, AND SOMETIMES I
WOULD SEE UP THIS WAY AND
YOU WOULD SEE SOMEONE'S HAND
GRAB ME BY MY THROAT AND
PICK ME UP OFF THE BED.
SOMETIMES THEY GRAB MY FEET
AND THE BED WOULD SHAKE, AND
THEY WOULD BRING ME UP AND
LEVITATE THE BED, AND
SOMETIMES I MIGHT EVEN REACH
THE CEILING.
AND I COULDN'T BREATHE.
I COULDN'T CRY OUT.
I COULDN'T TALK.
I FELT LIKE THEY WERE
CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF ME.
I WOULD TRY TO CRY OUT FOR
JESUS, AND THE WORDS
WOULDN'T COME OUT.
AND THEN AT THE END, JESUS,
HELP ME, JESUS, HELP ME,
SAVE ME, AND THE DEVIL WOULD
GO AWAY.
I ASKED THE LORD, WHY WOULD
YOU ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN TO
ME, WHY WOULD YOU ALLOW
THESE PEOPLE TO ABUSE ME
THIS WE.
I GAVE MY LIFE TO YOU.
AND HE SAID TO ME, I WANTED
TO KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ME
AND HOW MUCH YOU TRUST ME.
AND NO DEVIL EVER SHOWED UP
TO MY HOUSE EVER AGAIN.
Reporter: JOHN SAYS HE
WOULDN'T TRADE ANYTHING FOR
WHAT HE FOUND IN CHRIST.
FOR 25 YEARS IN MY LIFE,
I COULD DO ANYTHING TO
ANYBODY.
I COUNT THAT AS BEING
FOOLISH.
CHRIST, HE IS MY ALL IN
ALL.
HE IS THE GOD I BELIEVE.
HE WALKS WITH ME.
I HEAR HIS WORDS IN MY EAR.
Reporter: TODAY JOHN
SHARES THE GOSPEL WITH
EVERYONE HE CAN.
HE HAS WRITTEN A BOOK ABOUT
HIS EXPERIENCES CALLED, "OUT
OF THE DEVIL'S CALDERON."
I'VE GOT PEACE.
I HAVE FULFILLMENT, I HAVE A
PURPOSE, AND I HAVE A
DESTINY TODAY.
AND ALL BECAUSE I SAID YES
TO THE CROSS.
AND I AM AN EVANGELIST IN
THE KINGDOM OF LIFE.
NO MORE AN EVANGELIST FOR
THE DARK SIDE.
I EXPOSE THE DARK SIDE EVERY
TIME THE LORD GIVES ME A
CHANCE.
BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO
DIE OR SHED BLOOD.
JESUS SHED THE BLOOD FOR
YOU.
THAT'S THE BLOOD THAT
COUNTS, THE ONE AT THE
CROSS.
Pat: YOU KNOW, LIKE IT
OR NOT, DEVIL IS REAL.
IT'S NOT JUST A NAMELESS
FORCE.
EVIL.
IT IS A PERSON.
IT IS A BEING.
HE WAS, AT ONE TIME, AN
ANGEL, IN THE HIGHEST OF
GOD'S CREATION.
AND THEN HE FELL, AND HE HAS
NOTHING BUT HATRED BECAUSE
HE KNOWS HIS DAYS ARE
SHORT.
HIS TIME TO ROAM THE EARTH
IS COMING TO AN END.
BUT RIGHT NOW HE WANTS TO
SNATCH AS MANY PEOPLE AS HE
CAN AND TAKE THEM INTO
HELL.
HE WANTS TO DECEIVE THEM AND
BLIND THEM AND TAKE THEM
AWAY FROM THE GOSPEL.
HE WILL MOCK THE GOSPEL.
HE WILL MOCK GOD.
HE WILL BLASPHEMY THE HOLY
SPIRIT, HE WILL BLASPHEMY
JESUS, BECAUSE HE KNOWS HIS
DAYS ARE SHORT, AND HE HAS
GREAT WRATH.
BUT YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST
WILL DEFEAT HIM.
THE CROSS OF JESUS, THE
DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF
JESUS -- WHEN JESUS HUNG ON
THE CROSS, AND HE SAID IT IS
FINISHED, HE HAD TAKEN ALL
THE ABUSE THAT THE DEVIL
COULD HEAP ON A HUMAN BEING,
AND HE ABSORBED IT, AND HE
WON.
HE WON.
JESUS IS THE VICTOR.
HE WON.
HE TRIUMPHED OVER SATAN, AND
HE DID IT FOR YOU.
WELL, WHICH IS IT GOING TO
BE?
YOU HAVE NO CHOICE, TO SAY I
DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH EITHER ONE OF
THEM.
YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE.
LIKE THE BOB DYLAN SONG,
YOU'VE GOT TO SERVE
SOMEBODY.
YOU'RE EITHER GOING TO SERVE
JESUS OR YOU'RE GOING TO
SERVE THE DEVIL.
THERE ISN'T A MIDDLE
GROUND.
THERE ISN'T, LIKE, A NEWS
NEUTRALITY.
IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.
BECAUSE THE WHOLE WORLD IS
DIVIDED INTO THE FORCES OF
LIGHT AND THE FORCES OF
DARKNESS.
JUST LIKE NIGHT AND DAY.
THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND
BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARKNESS.
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TODAY,
DO YOU WANT LIGHT?
DO YOU WANT EVERLASTING
LIFE?
DO YOU WANT TO BE FREE?
DON'T SUBMIT.
YOU SAY, WELL, I'M HOOKED ON
DRUGS.
THAT COMES FROM SATAN.
I'M HOOKED ON ALCOHOL.
IT COMES FROM SATAN.
I'M HOOKED ON PORNOGRAPHY.
IT COMES FROM SATAN.
I'M HOOKED ON THINGS I'M
ASHAMED OF.
IT COMES FROM SATAN.
JESUS CHRIST WANTS YOU TO BE
FREE.
IF YOU WANT THAT FREEDOM,
PRAY WITH ME RIGHT NOW,
THESE WORDS, SAY IT WITH ME:
JESUS -- SAY IT.
JESUS, I COME TO YOU NOW.
I REBUKE SATAN AND THE
FORCES OF EVIL, AND I
RENOUNCE THE DARK SIDE, AND
I TURN TO THE LIGHT.
LORD JESUS, I GIVE MY LIFE
TO YOU, AND I ASK YOU TO
COME INTO MY HEART, LIVE
YOUR LIFE IN ME, AND I WILL
LIVE FOR YOU, AND I WILL
SERVE YOU, ALL THE DAYS OF
MY LIFE.
THANK YOU, JESUS.
THANK YOU, LORD.
AMEN.
AND AMEN.
IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME, I
WANT YOU TO REJOICE IN WHAT
GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU.
AND I WANT TO GIVE YOU
SOMETHING -- YOU SAY, WHAT
DO I DO NEXT?
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE YOU
LIKE AN ORPHAN.
I WANT TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING
THAT WILL HELP YOU.
IT'S CALLED "A NEW DAY."
IT IS A COMPACT DISC, AND
YOU CAN PUT IT IN YOUR C.D.
PLAYER.
BORROW ONE IF YOU DON'T HAVE
ONE.
THIS THING IS FAIRLY SHORT.
73 MINUTES, I BELIEVE IT
IS.
AND IT WILL TELL YOU WHAT
YOU'VE JUST DONE AND WHAT IS
TO BE DONE NEXT.
GOD HAS A GREAT PLAN FOR
YOU, A NEW DAY.
AND YOU'VE JUST BEEN TAKEN
AND MOVED FROM THE KINGDOM
OF DARKNESS TO THE KINGDOM
OF LIGHT.
SO REJOICE.
I WANT YOU TO PICK UP YOUR
PHONE RIGHT NOW AND CALL AND
SAY, I PRAYED WITH PAT.
I GAVE MY HEART TO THE
LORD.
I WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN
THE WORKS OF SATAN.
I'M GOING TO BE FREE IN
JESUS CHRIST.
CALL NOW.
1-800-759-0700.
KRISTI?
Kristi: THANK YOU SO
MUCH, PAT.
I'M STILL OVERWHELMED BY
THAT STORY.
IN THE MINISTRY, GOD IS SO
GOOD.
UP NEXT, SEE WHAT HAPPENED
WHEN AN 18 WHEELER PLOWED
OVER AN S.U.V., TRAPPING A
WOMAN INSIDE.
WE COULD TELL RIGHT AWAY
BOTH OF HER ARMS WERE
BROKEN.
AND AT LEAST ONE OF HER
LEGS.
IT WAS DEFINITELY
LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES.
Kristi: BUT SEE HOW
THIS WOMAN BEAT THE ODDS
AFTER THIS.
Lee: WELCOME BACK TO
"THE 700 CLUB."
IRAN'S MILITARY IS
CONDUCTING TWO DAYS OF ERROR
AND GROUND TRAINING
EXERCISES.
THE DRILLS ARE AIMED AS
UPGRADING COMBAT READINESS
IN CASE OF AN ATTACK.
THE STATE NETWORK AIRED THIS
VIDEO.
ISRAEL HAS SUGGESTED IT WILL
USE MILITARY FORCE TO STOP
IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM IF
NECESSARY.
A CHRISTIAN COLLEGE IN
ARIZONA IS TURNING DOWN AN
OFFER NOW FOR A FREE CAMPUS
IN MASSACHUSETTS.
GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY SAYS
IT HAS TO REJECT THE DEAL
BECAUSE OF $30 MILLION IN
EXTRA COSTS FOR VARIOUS
UPGRADES.
THE 217-ACRE CAMPUS WAS ONCE
THE HOME OF THE SCHOOL
FOUNDED BY 19th CENTURY
EVANGELIST D.L. MOODY.
HOBBY LOBBY BOUGHT THE
PROPERTY A FEW YEARS AGO AND
RESTORED IT.
IT IS UNOCCUPIED RIGHT NOW,
AND THE SEARCH BEGINS FOR
ANOTHER RECIPIENT.

PAT AND KRISTI WILL BE BACK
WITH MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB"
AFTER THIS.
Kristi: WHEN AN
18-WHEELER RAN A STOPLIGHT,
IT SHEARED UF THE TOP OF
DURINDA LOVE'S S.U.V.
AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT,
SHE WASN'T A CHRISTIAN, BUT
SHE IS NOW.
THANKS TO AN AMAZING VISION
AND A RECOVERY SO MIRACULOUS
HER DOCTORS CAN HARDLY
BELIEVE IT.
Reporter: DURINDA LOVE
NEVER SAW IT COMING, A SEMI
TRUCK PLOWED OVER THE TOP OF
HER CAR.
IT BARELY MISSED HER HEAD,
BUT PRACTICALLY SEVERED HER
ARM.
THE CAR LITERALLY COLLAPSED
AROUND HER, TRAPPING HER
INSIDE.
WE COULD TELL RIGHT AWAY
THAT BOTH OF HER ARMS WERE
BROKEN, AND WE KNEW AT LEAST
ONE OF HER LEGS WERE BROKEN,
POSSIBLY THE OTHER ONE.
PLUS WE WAS PRETTY SURE SHE
PROBABLY HAD SOME INTERNAL
INJURIES TO GO WITH THAT.
IT WAS A PRETTY LOW
PERCENTAGE ON WHETHER SHE
WAS GOING TO MAKE IT OR
NOT.
IT WAS DEFINITELY
LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES.
Reporter: RESCUE
WORKERS TRIED FOR 45 MINUTES
TO GET DURINDA OUT OF THE
CAR.
FINALLY SHE WAS LIFT
FLIGHTED TO A HOSPITAL IN
INDIANA.
IT WAS VERY GRAVE.
SHE LOST A LOT OF BLOOD WHEN
SHE FIRST CAME IN.
THE FRACTURES THAT SHE HAD
WERE ALL VERY SERIOUS.
AND THEN WHEN YOU THROW IN
ON TOP OF IT, THAT SHE HAD
ALL OF THESE INJURIES AND
ALL OF THESE OTHER
LACERATIONS AND TEARS IN THE
SKIN.
SHE HAD A RUPTURED SPLEEN
AND A RUPTURED LIVER.
SHE WAS IN A VERY, VERY
SERIOUS CONDITION.
Reporter: FOR TWO WEEKS
DOCTORS TRIED TO PUT DURINDA
BACK TOGETHER.
SHE HAD TOS RESUSCITATED
TWICE AND SUFFERED A MASSIVE
STROKE.
SHE HAD SEVEN DIFFERENT
SURGERIES BUT REMAINED IN A
COMA.
DOCTORS OFFERED LITTLE HOPE
FOR HER SURVIVAL.
DURINDA'S MOTHER DIDN'T MOVE
FROM HER BEDSIDE.
EVEN THOUGH SHE WASN'T A
CHRISTIAN, SHE BEGGED GOD TO
SAVE HER LIFE.
WHEN I FIRST WOKE UP, THE
FIRST THING I REMEMBER IS
SEEING GOD.
I WAS ON THE STAIRWAY OF
HEAVEN, AND WE WERE STANDING
AT THE BOTTOM, AND GOD WAS
HOLDING ME IN HIS ARMS.
I WAS HELD LIKE A BABY.
I CAN REMEMBER JUST HEARING
THE VOICE BEHIND ME, TALKING
TO ME, SAYING, YOU KNOW,
IT'S OKAY.
YOU'RE FINE.
YOU'RE SAFE NOW.
I KNEW GOD WAS THERE.
I JUST KNEW IT.
I DID NOT SEE HIS FACE, BUT
I KNEW HE WAS HOLDING ME IN
HIS ARMS.
I KNEW HE HAD SAVED ME.
I WAS NEVER SAVED.
I WASN'T A CHRISTIAN.
I NEVER KNEW HOW TO ACTUALLY
ASK GOD TO FORGIVE ME FOR
ALL OF MY SINS.
Reporter: DURINDA HAD A
LONG AND HARD RECOVERY AHEAD
OF HER.
SHE REMAINED BEDRIDDEN AT
HOME FOR THREE MONTHS.
HE IS HAD TO LEARN HOW TO DO
EVERYTHING AGAIN.
I I WAS SO SCARED I WOULD
NEVER WALK AGAIN.
I HAD PHYSICAL THERAPISTS,
AND I LEARNED TO WALK ON A
WALKER.
AND THEN, ON THE 24th,
THEY TOOK THE WALKER FROM
ME.
AND I WAS WALKING ON MY
OWN.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
I WAS CRYING.
I WAS LIKE, OH, MY GOSH, I
AM WALKING.
Reporter: DURINDA HAS
SURPASSED ALL EXPECTATIONS
FOR HER RECOVERY.
THEY SAID I WOULD
PROBABLY USE THE RIGHT ARM
AGAIN.
THEY WERE NEVER SURE IF I
WOULD EVER WALK RIGHT
AGAIN.
BUT I DO WALK AND I DO USE
MY RIGHT ARM.
A LOT OF TIMES WE SEE
PATIENTS WITH BAD BONE AND
JOINT INJURIES, BUT TO SEE
SOMEBODY WITH THIS NUMBER OF
BONE AND JOINT INJURIES, AND
THE ABDOMINAL INJURIES THAT
SHE HAD, YOU KNOW, THE BELLY
INJURIES AND THE STROKE, TO
HAVE COME BACK LIKE THIS, IT
IS REALLY PHENOMENAL.
IT IS AN EXCEPTIONAL
RECOVERY, ABSOLUTELY.
Reporter: EVEN MORE
THAN A SECOND CHANCE AT
LIFE, DURINDA IS THANKFUL
THAT GOD SAVED HER FOR
ETERNITY.
THERE IS A GOD OUT THERE,
AND HE WILL LISTEN TO YOU IF
YOU WANT TO TALK TO HIM AND
HAVE HIM COME INTO YOUR
HEART.
I'M LUCKY THAT I'M HERE AND
I GOT A SECOND CHANCE.
THAT I DID NOT DIE AND I GOT
TO ACCEPT HIM INTO MY
HEART.
AND HE FORGAVE ME FOR ALL OF
MY SINS.
Kristi: WOW, HOW DO WE
LIVE A LIFE WITHOUT THE LOVE
OF JESUS CHRIST, THE
KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST,
THE SAVING GRACE AND POWER
OF JESUS CHRIST.
I HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH
YOU.
I'M STILL SO OVERWHELMED
ABOUT TODAY'S PROGRAM, AND
THE STORIES, THE STFS
STORIES FROM THIS WOMEN, AND
THE MAN WHO FOUND THE LOVE
OF JESUS CHRIST.
TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED FOR
ANY OF US.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.
WE WANT TO PROVIDE FOOD FOR
PEOPLE AND CLOTHES FOR
PEOPLE, BUT, MORE
IMPORTANTLY, WE WANT TO GIVE
YOU AN EVERLASTING LIFE, A
LIFE WITH JESUS CHRIST.
THE ONLY WAY THAT CAN HAPPEN
IS IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR
HEART AND YOU BELIEVE IN
YOUR HEART THAT JESUS IS
LORD.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE
TODAY.
WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU FOR
HEALING IN YOUR BODY, BUT,
MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE WANT TO
ENCOURAGE YOU FOR HEALING IN
YOUR SOUL, AND THAT ONLY
COMES FROM THE LORD.
PAT AND I AR GOING TO PRAY
PRAY -- PAT AND I ARE GOING
TO PRAY FOR YOU AND FOR YOUR
SPIRIT.
Pat: THERE IS A MAN
NAMED ROBERT WHO LIVES IN
THE CITY OF SUFFOLK,
VIRGINIA.
HE DEVELOPED SCALES THAT
CAUSE CONSTANT ITCHING.
THE DOCTOR SAID IT WAS
PSORIASIS, BUT NONE OF THE
TREATMENTS WORKED.
ONE DAY HE WAS WATCHING THIS
PROGRAM, AND YOU GAVE A WORD
OF KNOWLEDGE.
YOU SAID, YOUR SKIN
CONSTANTLY ITCHES.
HIS WIFE CALLED HIM AND TOLD
HIM TO CLAIM IT.
THE NEXT MORNING HE WAS
HEALED AND HAS HAD NO
PROBLEMS SINCE.
Kristi: JENNIFER IN
WASHINGTON CONTRACTED A LUNG
AND PULMONARY INFECTION.
HE SENT HER TO A
HEMATOLOGIST WHO TOOK 10
VIALS OF BLOOD, BUT COULD
NOT FIGURE OUT THE
DIAGNOSIS.
ONE DAY SHE WAS WATCHING THE
"THE 700 CLUB."
PAT, YOU SAID YOU HAVE A
DISEASE IN YOUR LUNG.
AND YOU SAID, YOU'VE BEEN
DIAGNOSED WITH A VERY RARE
BLOOD DISEASE, SO RARE THAT
THE DOCTORS SEEING YOU HAVE
NEVER RECEIVED THAT DISEASE
BEFORE.
IT WAS TERRY, SORRY.
AND JENNIFER CLAIMED BOTH OF
THOSE, AND THE DOCTORS SAID
THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A
MISTAKE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO
PROBLEM.
WHAT IS AMAZING, THAT BOTH
YOU AND TERRY HEARD THAT
WORD FROM GOD.
Pat: LET'S THANK GOD.
WE'RE JOINING HANDS
TOGETHER.
FATHER, THANK YOU, LORD.
WE COME TO YOU, LORD, AND WE
ARE TOTALLY AND ABSOLUTELY
UNWORTHY OF YOUR GOODNESS.
WE'RE AMAZED AT THE GOODNESS
OF THE LORD.
AND NOW WE PRAY FOR PEOPLE.
LORD, THERE ARE THOSE WITH
SKIN DISEASES, WITH ITCHING,
JUST LIKE WE'VE HEARD
BEFORE.
YOU'VE GOT AN INCREDIBLE
ITCH.
YOU JUST CAN'T STAND.
RIGHT NOW GOD IS SETTING YOU
FREE FROM THAT ITCHING.
YOU'RE FREE AND COMPLETELY
HEALED.
YOU'RE SKIN IS GOING TO BE
CLEAR AND BETTER THAN EVER
IN YOUR LIFE.
Kristi: THE LORD IS
HEALING SOMEONE -- YOU HAVE
A MASSIVE GROWTH, ACTUALLY
THE SIZE OF A GRAPEFRUIT ON
YOUR LEG.
THE LORD IS HEALING THAT.
ANOTHER PERSON HAS BEEN
DIAGNOSED WITH OVARIAN
CANCER, AND GOD IS GOING TO
DO A MIRACLE AND ANSWER YOUR
PRAYERS RIGHT NOW AND HEAL
YOU IN JESUS' NAME.
Pat: THERE IS A MAN WHO
HAS NIGHT SWEATS.
YOU'RE SLEEPING AND YOUR
BODY IS JUST DRENCHED WITH
SWEATS.
THERE IS A VIRUS THAT IS
CAUSING IT, AND THE LORD IS
HEALING YOU AS WE SPEAK
RIGHT NOW.
SOMEBODY HAS TWISTED YOUR
LEG AND YOUR KNEE, AND IT
KIND OF GOES OFF TO THE
SIDE, THE RIGHT SIDE, I
BELIEVE IT IS.
GOD IS STRAIGHTENING THAT
OUT RIGHT NOW.
PUT YOUR HAND ON YOUR KNEE,
AND YOU'LL WATCH YOUR KNEE
AND YOUR LEG STRAIGHTEN AS
WE SPEAK IN THE NAME OF
JESUS.
Kristi: THE LORD IS
HEALING SOMEBODY WITH
FIBROID TUMORS, AS WELL AS
ALOPECIA.
THE LORD IS HEALING SOMEONE
WITH THAT CONDITION RIGHT
NOW.
Pat: LORD, FOR ALL OF
THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE, LET
THE ANOINTING OF YOUR SPIRIT
COME UPON THEM.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, REVEAL
YOURSELF TO THEM, AND BLESS
THEM IN JESUS' NAME.
THANK YOU, FATHER.
Kristi: THANK YOU,
FATHER.
AMEN.
Pat: AND AMEN.
Kristi: POWER, POWER,
POWER.
STILL AHEAD, WE'RE GOING TO
BRING IT ON WITH YOUR E-MAIL
QUESTIONS.
TISHA SAYS, "IT FEELS LIKE
IN THE WEEKS LEADING UP TO
HALLOWEEN, THE ONLY SHOWS
ARE HORROR MOVIES.
I KNOW THEY'RE FAKE, SO IS
IT REALLY BAD TO WATCH THESE
SHOWS?"
AFTER THIS SHOW, I THINK YOU
CAN ALREADY ANSWER THAT
QUESTION.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO ANSWER
THAT SO DON'T GO AWAY.
THIS HAND CAME DOWN
TOWARDS ME.
AS IT DID, IT BROUGHT
WARMTH, JUST FLOODING THIS
ROOM, THIS AREA I WAS IN,
WITH THIS BRILLIANT WHITE
LIGHT.
AND THEN I FELT THIS
MOTION -- I WAS BEING PULLED
UPWARDS.
I HEARD THIS VOICE, AND IT
SAID, IT'S NOT YOUR TIME.
Kristi: MAN, I'VE
RIVETED.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
WELL, THIS POWERFUL SHOW
CONTINUES.
IT'S NOW TIME TO BRING IT ON
WITH YOUR QUESTIONS.
TISHA SAYS, "IT SEEMS LIKE
DURING THE WEEKS LEADING UP
TO HALLOWEEN, THE ONLY SHOWS
ON TV ARE HORROR MOVIES.
I KNOW IT'S FAKE, SO IS IT
WATCHING IT REALLY BAD?"
Pat: YES, IT'S FAKE.
BUT YOU BECOME E ENTRANCED
IN IT.
THE DEVIL IS VERY SUBTLE AND
VERY SLY.
WHATEVER THINGS ARE LOVELY
LOVELY, WHATEVER IS PURE,
THINK OF THOSE THINGS.
YOU CAN'T FOCUS ON THE EVIL
OUT THERE.
THE SICKNESS OF SOME OF THE
HOLLYWOOD WRITERS IS SIMPLY
APPALLING.
"THE NIGHT OF THE LIVING
DEAD," "THE CHAINSAW
MASSACRE," YOU DON'T WANT TO
FOCUS YOUR LIFE ON THAT
BECAUSE IT WILL HAUNT YOU.
Kristi: THE BIBLE SAYS
THE EYES ARE THE GATEWAY TO
THE SOUL, YOU BETTER PROTECT
YOUR EYES.
HEATHER SAYS, "I HAD JESUS
IN MY LIFE EARLIER IN LIFE,
BUT I'VE NOT NOW.
WHAT CAN I DO?"
Pat: I DON'T KNOW ABOUT
YOUR OWN STATUS, AND I'M NOT
GOING TO SAY.
YOU'VE WALKED AWAY, OR WHAT
YOU'VE DONE IN YOU'RE LIFE,
BUT FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY
AND -- TURN TO THE LORD.
WHY WOULD YOU BE PLAYING
GAMES WITH HIM?
IT'S LIKE SAYING, I'VE GOT
SIX TURNS OF A PISTLE, AND
I'VE GOT ONE BULLET IN AND
I'M GOING TO KEEP CLICKING
THE THING AND HOPE IT'S NOT
GOING TO GO OFF.
PUT THE GUN DOWN AND LIVE
FOR THE LORD.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Kristi: T.H.SAYS, "IS
SATAN IN HELL, OR IS HE
HANGING OUT SOMEWHERE ELSE
IN GOD RETURNS?"
Pat: THE BIBLE SAYS AN
ANGEL IS GOING TO COME AND
BIND THAT OLD DEVIL, SATAN,
AND CAST HIM INTO A LAKE OF
FIRE, WHERE HE WILL STAY,
BUT I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT
JOB, YOU'VE GOT THE DEVIL
WALKING TO AND FRO
THROUGHOUT THE EARTH.
I THINK HE IS LIKE A ROARING
LION.
PETER SAID HE IS LIKE A
ROARING LION, GO ABROAD
THINKING WHO HE CAN DEVOUR.
I THINK SATAN IS VERY ACTIVE
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
ONE TODAY HE WILL BE BOUND
AND PLACED IN A LAKE OF
FIRE, FROM WHICH HE CANNOT
ESCAPE, BUT NOT YET.
Kristi: BUT MORE
IMPORTANTLY, WE HAVE THE
POWER OF JESUS CHRIST TO
STO STOMP ON THAT ENEMY'S
HEAD.
BRAD WRITES IN, "THERE ARE
PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY FOLLOW
JESUS, AND JESUS CHRIST WILL
SAY NO."
Pat: YOU SAW ME DO
MIRACLES AND YOU ATE WITH
ME, THAT ISN'T ENOUGH.
GOING TO CHURCH IS NOT
ENOUGH.
SOMEBODY SAYS YOU CAN'T PUT
A HORSE IN A STABLE AND TURN
HIM INTO A CHEVROLET.
JUST THE FACT THAT YOU SIT
IN CHURCH ISN'T ENOUGH TO
SAVE YOU.
THE QUESTION IS: HAVE YOU
BEEN BORN AGAIN?
HAVE YOU BEEN REDEEMED?
HAVE YOU BEEN WASHED IN THE
BLOOD OF THE LAMB?
HE SAYS THOSE WHO DID THE
WILL OF MY FATHER IN
HEAVEN -- THAT'S WHAT HE'S
TALKING ABOUT.
SO DON'T MAKE MORE OF THAT
THAN IT INTENDED, BUT DON'T
IGNORE IT, EITHER.
Kristi: DANIELLE SAYS,
"WHAT HAPPENED AT THE GREAT
WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT, AND
WHO IS IT FOR, AND WILL
CHRISTIANS BE JUDGED, TOO?"
Pat: AS I READ THE
FIFTH CHAPTER OF JOHN, IT
SAYS HE WHO HEARS THE LORD
AND BELIEVES THOSE WHO SENT
ME, SHALL BELIEVE IN THE
LORD AND IS PASSED FROM
DEATH INTO LIFE.
I THINK WHEN WE ACCEPT
JESUS, WE ARE PASSED FROM
DEATH TO LIFE.
THEY WILL GIVE ACCOUNT FOR
THEIR ACTIONS ON EARTH.
AND THEIR OWN CONSCIENCE,
ACCORDING TO APOSTLE PAUL,
WILL EITHER EXCUSE THEM OR
NOT.
THE BOOKS ARE GOING TO BE
OPEN, AND IT'S ALL WRITTEN
DOWN.
YOU TALK ABOUT A SUPER
COMPUTER, GOD HAS IT ALL
WRITTEN DOWN, EVERYTHING YOU
HAVE EVER DONE ALL YOUR
LIFE.
YOU BETTER HOPE AND PRAY
YOU'RE IN THE LORD, AND THE
LORD'S BLOOD HAS COVERED
EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER
DONE.
BECAUSE EVERYTHING YOU'VE
EVER DONE IS IN THOSE
BOOKS.
LAST QUESTION.
Kristi: HERMAN WRITES
AND SAYS, "SCRIPTURELY,
WHICH IS TRUE, DO WE GO
DIRECTLY TO HEAVEN OR HEL?"
Pat: JESUS TOLD THE
THIEF ON THE CROSS, THIS DAY
YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN
PARADISE.
PAUL SAID WHETHER TO DEPART
AND BE WITH THE LORD, OR
REMAIN IN THE FLESH -- SO WE
HAVE SCRIPTURERAL EVIDENCE
WHEN WE DEPART, WE ARE WITH
THE LORD.
I DON'T BELIEVE THE BIBLE
TEACHES SOUL SLEEP, WHICH IS
WHAT YOUR QUESTION IMPLIES.
WE'RE ACTIVELY WITH THE LORD
IN PARADISE.
OTHERS ARE WAITING FOR THE
RESURRECTION OF THE BODY.
WE LEAVE YOU WITH THESE
WORDS FROM FROM 2
CORINTHIANS: "THEREFORE IF
ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A
NEW CREATION.
THE OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED
AWAY.
BEHOLD, ALL HAS BECOME
NEW."
BYE-BYE.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
