HE'S BEEN A PASTOR AND A
POLITICIAN.
TODAY MIKE HUCKABEE TELLS US
ABOUT HIS MOST IMPORTANT
ROLE.
AND THEN...
I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS,
AND I SAID, WHAT'S THE BAD
NEWS.
AND HE GOES, I THINK YOU
HAVE LEUKEMIA.
AND I'M, LIKE, WHAT'S
LEUKEMIA?
AND I'M, LIKE, IS THAT A
CANCER.
AND THE NEWS GOT WORSE.
I THINK YOU HAVE ABOUT
TWO WEEKS TO LIVE.
HOW SHE BEAT THE ODDS.
YOU CAN PUT YOUR TRUST IN
MEDICINE, BUT THE ULTIMATE
HEALING HAS TO BE GOD.
ON TODAY'S "700 CLUB."
*
Pat: WELL, WELCOME TO
"THE 700 CLUB."
THESE FOLKS LIVE UNDER THE
CONSTANT THREAT OF ROCKET
ATTACKS, INCLUDING STRIKES
ON THEIR CHILDREN'S
SCHOOLS.
AND THAT'S WHAT LIFE IS LIKE
EVERY DAY FOR PEOPLE IN
SOUTHERN ISRAEL.
Terry: NOW ISRAEL IS
CONSIDERING MILITARY ACTION
AGAINST THE PALESTINIANS,
AFTER AN INCREASE IN THOSE
ROCKET ATTACKS FROM GAZA.
CHRIS MITCHELL HAS THE STORY
FROM JERUSALEM.
Reporter: ISRAELI PRIME
MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU
BRIEFED SOME 74 AMBASSADORS
AND DIPLOMATS IN ASCALON,
WELL WITHIN RANGE OF ROCKETS
FROM THE GAZA STRIP.
IF AN ALARM IS SOUNDED,
YOU HAVE EXACTLY 30 SECONDS
TO FIND SHELTER.
Reporter: THE
INVITATION CAME AS MORE THAN
120 ROCKETS PUMMELLED
SOUTHERN ISRAEL IN A 48-HOUR
PERIOD, SCORING SEVERAL
DIRECT HITS, CLOSING
SCHOOLS, AND SENDING SHOCK
SHOCKWAVES THROUGH THE
SOUTH.
IT'S FAMILIES, OLD
PEOPLE, CHILDREN, BABIES,
ARE TARGETED ON A DAILY
BASIS BY PEOPLE WHO TOOK
AREAS THAT WE VAC CATED,
THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF
ISRAEL VACATED, AND CAME IN
THERE AND ARE NOW HIDING
BEHIND CIVILIANS AND FIRING
ON OUR CHILDREN.
Reporter: THESE VIDEOS
SHOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO RUN
FOR COVER AND THEN WAIT FOR
THE EXPLOSIONS.
SINCE 2001, NEARLY 13,000
ROCKETS AND MORTERS HAVE
LANDED IN ISRAEL.
MORE THAN 8,000 SINCE ISRAEL
HAS PULLED OUT FROM THE GAZA
TRIP IN 2005.
NETANYAHU SAID THE SITUATION
IS UNACCEPTABLE.
I DON'T KNOW ANY OF YOUR
GOVERNMENTS WHO CAN ACCEPT
SUCH ATTACKS.
Reporter: MICKEY
ROSENFELD SAID FOREIGN-RANGE
ROCKETS COULD HIT CITIES
LIKE ASHALON, ASHCA.
THESE ARE MADE IN CHINA
AND WHICH ARE SMUGGLED IN,
AND MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH
EGYPT, INTO ISRAEL, AND THE
GAZA TRIP, AND FIRED
DIRECTLY INTO THE SOUTHERN
PART OF ISRAEL.
Reporter: BESIDES THE
ROCKETS, ISRAEL OFTEN
BATTLES THE INTERNATIONAL
PRESSURE TO EXERCISE
RESTRAINT.
BUT MANY ISRAELIS ARE SAYING
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
AND NETANYAHU SAID ISRAEL
WILL FIGHT FOR RIGHT TO
DEFEND ITS PEOPLE.
WE'LL TAKE WHATEVER
ACTION IS NECESSARY TO PUT A
STOP TO THIS.
IT IS SOMETHING I THINK IS
UNDERSTOOD BY YOU, WHO ARE
HERE TODAY, BUT BY ANY
FAIR-MINDED PERSON AND ANY
FAIR-MINDED GOVERNMENT IN
THE WORLD.
THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND IT IS
OUR RIGHT TO DEFEND OUR
PEOPLE.
Reporter: CHRIS
MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,
JERUSALEM.
Pat: YOU KNOW, WHEN
ARIEL SHARON GAVE UP THE
GAZA, I THOUGHT IT WAS A BIG
MISTAKE.
THEY TALKED ABOUT LAND FOR
PEACE.
BUT HE SURRENDERED WHAT WAS
THE PATTRIMONY OF ISRAEL,
AND THEY TORE DOWN THEIR
HOMES AND IT WAS A NASTY
MESS.
THIS IS WHAT THANKS HE GETS
FROM THE PALESTINIANS.
SO HAMAS HAS MOVED INTO THE
GAZA AREA.
IT WAS ALL A WASTELAND, AND
THE PLACE WAS SUFFERING IN
MISERY FOR THE PALESTINIAN
PEOPLE WHO WERE LIVING
THERE, BUT THESE PEOPLE HAVE
MADE IT WORSE.
AND IT JUST SEEMS LIKE, TO
ME, ISRAEL IS GOING TO HAVE
TO INVADE AND GO IN AND
CLEAN THAT THING OUT.
YOU JUST CANNOT ALLOW THAT
AS A BASE FOR ROCKETS.
AND ISRAEL IS SO SMALL.
WHENEVER YOU GO THERE, YOU
REALIZE WHAT A TINY, TINY
COUNTRY IT IS.
Terry: AND SURROUNDED.
WHAT NETANYAHU SAID IS SO
TRUE.
THERE IS NOT ANOTHER COUNTRY
IN THE WORLD, IF FIRED UPON
LIKE THIS, THAT WOULD NOT
RESPOND.
Pat: IMAGINE IF WE HAD
13,000 ROCKET ATTACKS FROM
CANADA?
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT.
IN NEW YORK, UP STATE NEW
YORK, AND ACROSS IN DETROIT
AND PLACES LIKE THAT.
IT WOULD BE UNBELIEVABLE.
THE UNITED STATES -- WE'D BE
SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE AND
IT WOULD JUST BE TERRIBLE.
BUT WE EXPECT THE ISRAELIS
TO, QUOTE,"SHOW RESTRAINT."
WELL, I THINK IT IS TIME TO
MOVE IN, AND MAYBE -- BUT
THE ISRAELIS DON'T WANT
THEM.
THEY DON'T WANT TO GOVERN
THAT AREA, BUT AT THE SAME
TIME, THEY'RE STUCK WITH
THEM.
I THINK THEY NEED TO GO IN
THERE AND REESTABLISH
ORDER.
IT WILL BE PAINFUL, BUT
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO
IT.
WELL, HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES, THE BUDGET CRISIS IN
WASHINGTON IS BEING FELT ALL
THE WAY TO WALL STREET.
WHEW!
MANY WEALTHY PEOPLE ARE
SELLING.
WELL, THEY SHOULD.
LEE WEBB HAS THAT STORY FROM
THE CBN NEWS ROOM.
Lee: THAT'S RIGHT,
PAT.
WASHINGTON IS
TALKING
ABOUT
RAISING TAXES ON CAPITAL
GAINS, DIVIDENDS, AND OTHER
INVESTMENTS.
SO INVESTORS ARE SELLING
THEIR FINANCIAL ASSETS, LIKE
STOCKS THIS YEAR, AND THAT
WAY THEY WON'T HAVE TO PAY
THE HIGHER TAXES ON GAINS IF
THAT WOULD SELL THEM NEXT
YEAR.
INVESTORS ARE WORRIED ABOUT
THE SO-CALLED FISCAL CLIFF.
CONGRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE
HAVE TO MAKE A DEAL BEFORE
JANUARY 1st TO CUT THE
BUDGET, AND THAT DEAL COULD
INCLUDE HIGHER TAXES ON
INVESTMENTS.
TAXES ON CAPITAL GAINS,
INCLUDING PROFITS FROM
STOCKS, COULD GO UP 15% TO
25%, AND TAXES ON DIVIDENDS
COULD GO UP 15% TO 43%.
THE U.S. WILL BECOME THE
WORLD'S LARGEST OIL PRODUCER
BY AROUND 2020.
THAT'S THE FORECAST FROM THE
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY
AGENCY.
IT POINTS OUT THAT THE U.S.
IS PRODUCING OIL AND NATURAL
GAS AND USING ENERGY MORE
EFFICIENTLY THESE DAYS.
THE AGENCY ALSO SAYS THE
U.S. COULD BECOME NEARLY
SELF-SUFFICIENT IN ENERGY BY
THE YEAR 2035.
AND IT SAYS FOSSEL FUELS
WILL REMAIN THE TOP ENERGY
SOURCE IN THIS COUNTRY FOR
YEARS TO COME, PAT.
Pat: WELL, YOU KNOW,
THEY TALKED ABOUT THE PEAK
OIL.
A GUY NAMED HUBBARD, AND HE
SAID THAT THERE WILL BE A
PEAK OIL, WHERE WE'LL RUN
OUT OF OIL, AND THEN IT WILL
SLOWLY DECLINE.
BUT WHAT HE WAS NOT TAKING
INTO ACCOUNT WAS THE SHALES,
AND SHALES ARE EVERYWHERE.
THEY'RE IN PENNSYLVANIA, NEW
YORK, VIRGINIA, WEST
VIRGINIA, THEY'RE IN OHIO,
AND THEY'RE ALL THROUGHOUT
THE MIDWEST, AND THEY'RE
VERY PROLIFIC IN TEXAS, AND
THEN THEY'RE OUT IN THE
ROCKY MOUNTAINS.
ONE OF THE OIL COMPANIES
FIGURED THAT IF THEY COULD
GET THAT OIL LOOSE FROM THE
SHALES, IT WOULD BE A
BONANZA.
AND SO THEY TAKE A HUGE
AMOUNT OF WATER, MAYBE A
MILLION OR MORE GALLONS --
EXCUSE ME, 50,000 GALLONS OF
WATER AND A MILLION AND A
HALF POUNDS OF SAND AND BLOW
IT INTO THESE FORMATIONS,
AND IT CRACKS THE ROCKS, AND
OUT COMES THE OIL.
AND THESE OIL WELLS ARE
RUNNING 300, 400, 500,
1,000, 200,000 BARRELS A
DAY.
AND THE RIGS ARE RUNNING
LIKE CRAZY.
IT IS ALL OVER TEXAS.
YOU'VE GOT THE UTAHKA SHALE
IN THE PENNSYLVANIA AREA --
Terry: HOW PREVALENT IS
IT IN OTHER PARTS OF THE
WORLD?
Pat: WELL, IT'S OVER IN
EUROPE AND POLAND AND PLACES
LIKE THAT, BUT THEY DON'T
HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY WE DO.
IT SHOWS AMERICAN ENTERPRISE
AND INGENUITY IS
EXTRAORDINARY.
BUT THE E.P.A. WILL DID
ANYTHING TO STOP IT.
ANYTHING THIS GOVERNMENT CAN
DO TO KEEP THIS COUNTRY FROM
PROSPERING, THEY'LL DO IT.
THE E.P.A. IS TRYING ITS
BEST TO STOP US, AND DIVERT
US INTO WIND FARMS AND
THINGS LIKE THAT.
IT IS JUST CRAZY.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE.
IN ANY EVENT, LIKE IT OR
NOT, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A
BONANZA, AND WE'LL BE
PRODUCING MORE OIL THAN
SAUDI ARABIA, MAYBE AS MANY
AS 11 MILLION BARRELS A
DAY.
Terry: WOW!
HOW IS THE JOB MARKET
AFFECTED BY THAT?
Pat: TWO OR THREE
MILLION.
YOU'VE GOT ALL OF THE RIGS
GOING.
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE PEOPLE
MANNING THE RIGS.
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE
GEOLOGISTS, AND PEOPLE
COMING OUT OF SCHOOL, IT'S A
HUGE AMOUNT --
Terry: THAT'S GOOD
NEWS.
Pat: OF COURSE IT IS
GOOD NEWS.
BUT LIKE THAT KEYSTONE
PIPELINE COMING FROM CANADA,
A WOL WONDERFUL SOURCE OF
OIL, AND OBAMA STOPPED IT
COLD.
THAT WAS GOING TO BRING
20,000 JOBS TO FOR STEEL
WORKERS IN THE UNITED
STATES.
AND HE KILLED THE PROJECT.
SOMEHOW HE DIDN'T HAVE TO
PAY THE PRICE AT THE
ELECTION.
IN ANY EVENT, IT IS GOOD
NEWS.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO SWING ON
TO ONE OF THOSE WEIRD
THINGS.
YOU THINK A GUY IS
BRILLIANT.
HE'S GOT A Ph.D. FROM
PRINCETON.
HE HAS GOT FOUR STARS.
HE HAS WRITTEN A BOOK OF
COUNTERINSURGENTCY.
AND HE IS ONE OF THE
GREATEST GENERALS AMERICA
HAS EVER PRODUCED, AND YET
HE CAN'T KEEP HIS PANTS
ZIPPED.
LEE?
Lee: PAT, THE SCANDAL
INVOLVING C.I.A. DIRECTOR
DAVID PETRAEUS HAS
EXPANDED.
THE PENTAGON IS
INVESTIGATING THE TOP U.S.
COMMANDER IN AFGHANISTAN,
PETRAEUS SUCCESSOR, BY THE
WAY, FOR SENDING WHAT MAY
HAVE BEEN INAPPROPRIATE
E-MAILS TO THE WOMAN AT THE
CENTER OF THE PETRAEUS
STORY.
Reporter: ANOTHER TOP
U.S. COMMANDER COULD GO DOWN
WITH PETRAEUS.
GENERAL JOHN ALLEN IS UNDER
INVESTIGATION FOR ALLEGEDLY
SENDING INAPPROPRIATE
E-MAILS TO JILL KELLEY.
SHE WAS RECEIVING
THREATENING E E-MAILS FROM
THE WOMAN HAVING AN AFFAIR
WITH HIM.
U.S. OFFICIALS SAY THERE ARE
BETWEEN 20,000 TO 30,000
E-MAILS BETWEEN ALLEN AND
KELLEY, AND NEW DETAILS OF
THE AFFAIR WITH PAULA
BROADWELL CONTINUES TO
EMERGE.
AGENTS LEFT HER HOME WITH
FILES, BOXES, AND A
COMPUTER.
IN HIS UNIVERSE, THIS
MORAL FAILING IS
UNACCEPTABLE, AND RENDERS
HIM UNWORTHY OF CONTINUES
THIS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
NATION.
Reporter: AND MORE
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THE
F.B.I. WAITED UNTIL AFTER
THE ELECTION TO ALERT THE
WHITE HOUSE ABOUT THE
PETRAEUS AFFAIR.
THE F.B.I. WAS NOT JUST
CONDUCTING A CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATION OF AN ALLEGED
E-MAIL HARASSMENT CASE.
IT WAS LOOKING INTO WHETHER
A SEPARATE SET OF E-MAILS
BETWEEN PETRAEUS AND
BROADWELL MIGHT INVOLVE A
SECURITY BREACH.
IT DOESN'T ADD UP THAT
THE F.B.I. WOULD CARRY ON
THIS TYPE OF INVESTIGATION
WITHOUT BRINGING IT TO THE
PRESIDENT OR THE HIGHEST
LEVELS OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
Reporter: THE F.B.I. IS
EXPECTED TO PRESENT A
TIMELINE OF ITS
INVESTIGATION AT A MEETING
WITH CONGRESS ON WEDNESDAY.
Lee: PETRAEUS DENIES
GIVING BROADWELL ANY OF THE
SENSITIVE INFORMATION
ALLEGEDLY FOUND ON HER
COMPUTER, PAT.
Pat: FOLKS, I DON'T USE
E-MAIL.
THANK THE LORD.
BUT EVERYBODY ELSE DOES.
MY WIFE USES E-MAIL.
BUT THOSE THINGS ARE
PUBLIC.
YOU GO ON TO THE INTERNET
AND YOU SEND OUT MESSAGES,
AND I CANNOT BELIEVE HE'S
TEENAGERS, FOR EXAMPLE, ON
Facebook, THEY PUT THESE
INTIMATE DETAILS OF
THEMSELVES.
THEY HAVE PICTURES OF
THEMSELVES WITH NO CLOTHES
ON AND THEY PUT THEM ON THE
INTERNET.
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING.
AND FOR GENERALS -- THESE
GUYS ARE GENERALS.
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING WHEN
THEY SEND OUT E-MAILS.
GOOD GRIEF.
AT LEAST THEY COULD MAKE
TELEPHONE CALLS.
THEY HAVE E-MAILS, AND THEY
HAVE A WRITTEN RECORD.
AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE
SEARCHABLE AT LAW.
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS NO
WAY YOU CAN GET RID OF
THEM.
IN THE OLD DAYS, YOU COULD
GET RID OF THEM.
NOWADAYS THEY CAN'T GET RID
OF IT.
WHY WOULD THEY BE SO STUPID
AS TO DO IT, BUT THEY DO AND
THEY GET CAUGHT.
LEE?
Lee: GASOLINE RATIONING
HAS ENDED IN NEW JERSEY, BUT
THE NORTHEAST RECOVERY FROM
SUPERSTORM SANDY IS STILL
SLOW.
"OPERATION BLESSING" IS
HELPING TO SPEED THINGS UP.
THESE ARE IMAGES OF
VOLUNTEERS AT WORK IN
ROCKAWAY BEACH, NEW YORK.
THEY CAME TO THE RESCUE OF A
FAMILY AT THEIR WITS END.
MY MOTHERS CAR WAS
TOTALLY SUBMERGED UNDER
WATER, AND MY CAR, AND MY
APARTMENT, ALL OF THE STUFF
WAS DESTROYED.
"OPERATION BLESSING" WAS A
BIG HELP.
I'M BLESSED THAT THEY CAME
AND HELPED ME AND MY MOM
THROUGH THIS WORK.
IT WOULD TAKE ME A COUPLE OF
DAYS TO DO THIS BY MYSELF.
Lee:
"OPERATION BLESSING'S" AID
IS A COMFORT TO MANY NEW
YORKERS WHO ARE BEYOND
FRUSTRATED THAT THEIR POWER
HAS YET TO BE RESTORED,
PAT.
Pat:
"OPERATION BLESSING" IS
WORKING AND SOME REMOTE
PLACES.
FAR ROCKAWAY, IT IS FAR.
IT IS A LONG WAY AWAY FROM
THE CENTER OF MANHATTAN, BUT
THEY'RE OUT THERE, AND THEY
HAVE SUFFERED.
AND WE'RE HELPING PEOPLE IN
ROCKAWAY BEACH, AND ON
STATEN ISLAND.
I LIVED ON STATEN ISLAND.
IT WAS KIND OF RURAL, BUT
NOW WITH THE BRIDGE, IT IS
MUCH MORE POPULATED.
BUT NEVERTHELESS, THEY'VE
BEEN SUFFERING IN STATEN
ISLAND.
AND BREEZY POINT HAS JUST
BEEN -- NATIONAL MEDIA HAS
FOCUSED IN ON BREEZY POINT.
THOSE PEOPLE HAVE JUST GONE
THROUGH HORRORS.
AND THEY ARE SUFFERING, AND
ALSO MYSTIC ISLAND, NEW
JERSEY.
WE'VE BEEN HELPING ALL OF
THEM WITH "OPERATION
BLESSING."
AND OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO
THOSE PEOPLE.
THEY HAVE BEEN BRAVE.
THEY HAVE BEEN COURAGEOUS.
THEY HAVE BEEN DRAWING
TOGETHER AS NEIGHBORS, AND
YET THEY NEED HELP.
THEY HAVEN'T BEEN GETTING
THE HELP THEY OUGHT TO GET
FROM EITHER THE RED CROSS OR
FEMA.
SO WE'RE IN THE GAP IN SOME
MEASURE TO HELP WITH HOT
FOOD AND WITH ALL OF THE
SUPPLIES THEY NEED, AND
THOUSAND O OF POUNDS OF
FOOD AND SUPPLIES AND
GROCERIES.
Terry: SO MANY OF THEM
HAVE TALKED ABOUT THERE IS
NOBODY HERE.
IT IS A BLESSING TO SEE
SOMEONE SHOW UP WHO IS
THERE, EVEN JUST TO COMFORT
YOU AND RECOGNIZE YOU'RE
NEED, YOUR DILEMMA.
Pat: THEY WERE -- THE
RED CROSS WAS HANDING OUT
DOUGHNUTS AND COCOA.
THESE PEOPLE ARE STARVING
AND THEY'RE FREEZING COLD.
THEY NEED BLANKETS.
THEY NEED SUBSTANTIAL
STUFF.
AND THEY NEED PEOPLE TO HELP
REBUILD THEIR HOMES.
WE'RE DOING WHAT WE CAN, BUT
IT IS ONE MORE AREA -- IF
YOU WANT TO HELP "OPERATION
BLESSING" IN THIS, TELEPHONE
IS 1-888-777-1999
1-888-777-1999,
1-800-759-0700.
OR YOU CAN LOG ON TO
cbn.com, AND THE NEED IS
STILL GREAT.
THE CRISIS HASN'T GONE
AWAY.
AND NOW IT IS COLD, AND IT'S
GETTING COLDER.
WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF WARM
DAYS HERE, AND THE WEATHER
HAS SHIFTED IN OUR PART OF
THE COUNTRY, ABOUT 20°
COLDER.
Terry: BUT WE CAN MAKE
A DIFFERENCE.
Pat: WE CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE, YES, SIR.
Terry: UP NEXT, THE
GOVERNOR AS GRANDPA.
STAY TUNED FOR A SIDE OF
MIKE HUCKABEE YOU HAVEN'T
SEEN BEFORE WHEN WE COME
BACK.
Pat: WELL, FORMER
ARKANSAS GOVERNOR MIKE
HUCKABEE SHOCKED THE NATION
WHEN HE RAN AN INCREDIBLE
RACE AT THE REPUBLICAN
PRIMARIES.
HE WON STATE AFTER STATE.
HE POLLED UP A VERY
SUBSTANTIAL FOLLOWING.
PEOPLE LOVED HIM, AND THEN
HE HAS GONE ON TO BE A
COMMENTATOR ON THE FA FOX
NETWORK.
BUT THE THING HE WANTED TO
DO WAS TO GIVE HIS GRANDSON,
CHANDLER, SOMETHING THAT
WOULD LAST FOREVER.
AND IN THE MIDST OF THAT,
HIS GRANDDAUGHTER, SCARLET
WAS BORN, REVEALING A SIDE
OF HIM NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN.
TAKE A LOOK.
Reporter: MIKE HUCKABEE
HAS WORN MANY HATS IN THIS
LIFETIME, FROM PASTOR TO
POLITICIAN, GOVERNOR TO
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, EVEN
TALK-SHOW HOST, POLITICAL
PUNDIT, AND BASS PLAYER IN A
BAND.
BUT HE IS ALSO A
GRANDFATHER, AND WITH ALL OF
HIS CONTRIBUTIONS, HIS MOST
RECENT IS THE ONE HE DEEMS
THE MOST IMPORTANT.
IN HIS BOOK "DEAR CHANDLER,
DEAR CHARLOTTE, THE THINGS
THAT MATTER MOST."
THE BOOK TOUCHES ON FAITH,
LOVE, VALUES, AND WORTH
ETHIC.
ALL THROUGH HUCKABEE'S OWN
TRANSPARENT LIFE LESSONS AND
PERSONAL STORIES.
Pat: JOINING US FROM
NEW YORK IS A GOOD FRIEND,
MIKE HUCKABEE.
GOVERNOR, NICE TO HAVE YOU
WITH US.
GOD BLESS YOU.
THANK YOU, PAT.
WHAT AN HONOR TO BE BACK
WITH YOU.
Pat: WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO TEACH YOUR
GRANDCHILDREN.
I'VE GOT 14 OF THEM, SO GIVE
ME SOME TIPS.
WELL, YOU PROBABLY COULD
SCHOOL ME ON IT.
I THINK SOMETIMES WE GET SO
BUSY WITH THE ACTIVITIES OF
OUR KIDS AND OUR GRANDKIDS
THAT WE FAIL TO REALIZE IS
THE GREATEST THING WE CAN
GIVE THEM IS NOT A PIECE OF
THE 401K, OR A VINTAGE
GUITAR THAT THEY WILL
PROBABLY SELL ON eBAY THE
DAY I'M GONE, BUT IT IS TO
HELP THEM CONNECT WITH WHO
IS BEFORE THEM SO THEY HAVE
SOME UNDERSTANDING WHO THEY
ARE.
WHO IS GOD?
WHY DO YOU HAVE PARENTS?
WHY DO THINGS SOMETIMES
HURT?
WHY DO WE DIE?
THOSE ARE QUESTIONS KIDS
WILL GROW UP ASKING, AND
SOMETIMES YOU'D LOVE TO PUT
YOUR ARM AROUND THEM AND
TELL THEM.
THE TRAGEDY IS SOMETIMES, BY
THE TIME THEY GET OLD ENOUGH
TO UNDERSTAND THOSE ANSWERS,
WE'RE TOO OLD TO GIVE THEM
OR YEAR NOT AROUND ANYMORE.
THIS WAS A GREAT BOOK FOR ME
TO WRITE.
WHAT I WANTED TO DO IS
STIMULATE THEM TO WRITE
THEIR OWN STORIES.
TO PUT SOMETHING DOWN FOR
THEIR GRANDKIDS, SO THAT
THEY'LL HAVE SOMETHING TO
REMEMBER THEM BY.
Pat: MIKE, YOU'VE
WRITTEN THAT THE HIGHEST
REWARD IS FOR WORK IS NOT
WHAT YOU GET OUT OF IT, BUT
WHAT YOU RECEIVE, WHAT YOU
BECOME BY IT.
TELL US WHAT THAT MEANS.
I THINK WE'VE LIVED IN A
SOCIETY, AND CAPITALISM IS A
GREAT THING, AND IT IS A
WONDERFUL, MOTIVATING FORCE,
BUT WORK IS NOT JUST ABOUT
OBTAINING SOMETHING.
IT IS ABOUT BECOMING A
RESPONSIBLE HUMAN BEING.
THE THINGS THAT WE RECEIVE
FOR OUR WORK, THOSE ARE THE
FRINGE BENEFITS, BUT THE
GREATEST BLESSINGS ARE WHAT
WE BECOME.
IF WE LEARN TO BE
RESPONSIBLE, AND WE LEARN TO
BE SELF-SUFFICIENT AND
INDEPENDENT, DEPENDING ONLY
UPON GOD AND HIS STRENGTH
AND HIS PURPOSE FOR OUR
LIVES, THEN WE'RE HAPPY
PEOPLE.
WE HAVE SCROI.
JOY.
IF ALL WE DO IS WORK HARD
AND WE WANT SOMETHING, THEN
OUR LIVES ARE ONLY WRAPPED
UP IN THE SOMETHINGS, AND
THE SOMETHINGS CAN BE
DESTROYED, THEY CAN BE LOST,
THEY CAN BE TAKEN FROM US.
IT GOES BACK TO THE BIBLICAL
ADMONITION, STORE UP YOUR
TREASURES AND HAVE THEM
WHERE THIEVES CAN'T GET TO
IT, AND NOTHING CAN CORRUPT
IT.
WHEN WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE
GREATEST TREASURES OF LIFE
ARE THE INTANGIBLES.
I WANT MY GRANDKIDS TO GROW
UP WITH THE THINGS THAT ARE
INTANGIBLE ARE MUCH MORE
IMPORTANT THAN THINGS THAT
AREN'T.
Pat: YOU LEARNED
SOMETHING BY PICKING UP
PECANS.
WHEN I WAS A KID, MY
PARENTS USED TO FORCE MY
SISTER AND ME TO GO UT ON
PICK UP THE PECANS FROM THE
TREE.
I USED TO HATE THAT WITH A
VENGEANCE.
IT IS SOMETHING I DIDN'T
WANT TO DO.
I THOUGHT SATURDAY MORNINGS
ARE FOR ME.
THEY ARE FOR CARTOONS.
BUT IN STIL INSTILLING IN
ME A WORK ETHIC IS A GIFT
FROM GOD THAT MY PARENTS
INSTILLED IN ME.
I SHUTTER TO THINK WHAT I
WOULD HAVE BECOME IF I SAT
AROUND AND DEPENDED ON
SOMEBODY ELSE TO DO FOR ME.
THE GREATEST TRAGEDY OF A
HUMAN LIFE IS THAT WE ARE
EVER TO BELIEVE WE ARE TO BE
WAITED ON HAND AND FOOT.
EVEN GOING BACK TO OUR
PATRIOTISM, AND REMEMBERING
THE WORDS OF JOHN F.
KENNEDY, "ASK NOT WHAT YOUR
COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU, BUT
WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR
COUNTRY."
THAT'S TRUE.
I THINK ABOUT THOSE PECANS,
I WISH I HAD A COUPLE OF
PECAN TREES IN MY YARD.
THEY WOULD BE PRETTY
VALUABLE THESE DAYS.
Pat: I HAD THEM IN MY
YARD, AND MY KIDS HAD TO
WORK ON SATURDAY.
ONE OF THEM DESTROYED A
RIDING LA LAWN MOWER.
AND THEY SET THE THING ON
FIRE -- IT WAS A TRAGEDY.
BUT THEY LEARNED.
WE JUST HAD AN ELECTION.
SOME PEOPLE ARE REJOICING
AND SOME AREN'T.
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON THE
ELECTION?
I THINK PEOPLE HAD TO
REMEMBER HOW CLOSE IT WAS.
THIS WAS A RACE DECIDED BY
LESS THAN 2% OF THE VOTE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
OUT THERE HAND WRINGING, AND
PARTICULARLY A LOT OF
CHRISTIANS WHO THINK MAYBE
THE VALUES WE HOLD JUST
DON'T WORK.
THE FACT IS CHRISTIANS
DIDN'T GO VOTE IN BIG
NUMBERS THIS TIME.
THE REASON THAT A LOT OF
CANDIDATES DID NOT WIN IS
BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO COULD
HAVE AND WOULD HAVE
SUPPORTED THEM DID NOT GO
VOTE.
THIS WAS NOT A VOTE OF A
MESSAGE OF BARACK OBAMA
WINNING.
IT WAS ABOUT THE INCREDIBLE
MACHINERY OF HIS
"GET-OUT-THE-VOTE" EFFORT
THAT WON.
I HOPE PEOPLE DON'T THINK WE
NEED TO BACK OFF OUR
COMMITMENT TO THE SANCTITY
OF EVERY HUMAN LIFE OR THE
VALUE OF LIFE, OR THE
IMPORTANCE OF MARRIAGE, OR
FIGHTING FOR POVERTY AND
DISEASE AND WANTING TO STAND
FOR PEOPLE AT EVER LEVEL OF
HUMAN LIFE.
I DON'T THINK THIS ELECTION
WAS THE END-ALL ELECTION.
IT DOES TELL US WE HAVE TO
BE INCLUSIVE.
WE CAN'T HAVE A PARTY IN
WHICH EVERYBODY LOOKS JUST
LIKE ME.
I DON'T WANT EVERYBODY TO
LOOK JUST LIKE ME.
I WELCOME PEOPLE.
I GOT 49% OF THE
AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTE IN MY
STATE WHEN I RAN FOR
GOVERNOR BECAUSE I BELIEVE
THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE OF COLOR
WILL ACCEPT THE CONSERVATIVE
MESSAGE OF A REPUBLICAN IF
THEY KNOW WE CARE, AND I IF
THEY KNOW OUR POLICIES ARE
INCLUSIVE.
THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO GET
TO.
THIS IDEA THAT PEOPLE OF
COLOR ARE NEVER GOING TO BE
A PART OF THE RUSSIAN
REPUBLICAN PARTY, THAT'S
NONSENSE.
HISPANICS AND
AFRICAN-AMERICANS ARE MORE
PRO-TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE AND
MORE PRO-LIFE THAN MOST OF
THE WHITE VOTERS.
Pat: I HOPE YOU STAY
WITH IT BECAUSE YOUR VOICE
IS NEEDED.
MIKE, I WANT TO THANK YOU.
GOVERNOR HUCKABEE, "DEAR
CHANDLER, DEAR CHARLOTTE,"
AND THE BOOK IS OUT NOW ON
AMAZON WHERE BOOKS ARE
SOLD.
IT WOULD BE A NICE PRESENT
FOR YOUR GRANDCHILDREN FOR
CHRISTMAS.
Terry: WHAT A GREAT
LEGACY.
SMART IDEA.
Pat: COME BACK AGAIN.
HOPE TO.
Terry: COMING UP, AN
AMAZING ANSWER TO PRAYER.
THE STORY OF A BEAUTIFUL
WOMAN WITH A DEADLY
DIAGNOSIS.
I'M, LIKE, WHAT'S
LEUKEMIA?
IS THAT A CANCER.
WITHIN WEEKS WITHOUT
TREATMENT, YOU WILL DIE.
Terry: HEAR HOW A
PROMISE KEPT THIS WIFE AND
MOTHER ALIVE AND ASTONISHED
HER DOCTORS.
PLUS WE'RE GOING TO BE
PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR
NEEDS, SO STAY WITH US.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
Terry: SHE HAD NOT BEEN
TO SEE HER DOCTOR IN SIX
YEARS.
SHE FELT GREAT.
UNTIL A ROUTINE BLOOD TEST
REVEALED THAT VERA HAD A
TICKING TIME BOMB IN HER
SYSTEM.
ONE THAT COULD KILL HER
WITHIN TWO WEEKS.
COMING FROM A BACKGROUND
OF A BROKEN HOME, A
FATHERLESS HOME, AND WE WERE
POOR -- THERE WERE SIX
KIDS.
WE HAD NOTHING.
SO MY WHOLE IDEA WAS IF I'M
SUCCESSFUL AND I HAVE
FINANCES, THEN PEOPLE WON'T
LOOK AT ME AS A POOR
ORPHAN.
THEY'LL SEE MY SUCCESS.
Reporter: VERA
KIRKPATRICK MADE A NAME FOR
HERSELF SELLING ART.
BY HER MID-20s, SHE WAS
THE SUCCESSFUL WOMAN SHE
ALWAYS DREAMED OF BECOMING.
I WANTED TO CREATE MY OWN
RULES, MY OWN WORLD, YOU
KNOW.
Reporter: VERA MET JOHN
KIRKPATRICK, AND THEY
MARRIED.
JOHN'S FAITH IN GOD WAS
STRONG.
AND HE TRIED TO SHARE IT
WITH HIS WIFE.
I FOUND SOMEONE THAT WAS
REALLY INTO ME, THAT LOVED
ME, THAT WOULD DO ANYTHING
FOR ME.
Reporter: VERA AND JOHN
MOVED TO HAWAII AND INVESTED
IN TWO ART GALLERIES.
TOGETHER THEY BECAME EVEN
MORE SUCCESSFUL.
BUT VERA FELT THE EMPTINESS
THAT HAD HAUNTED HER
CHILDHOOD.
SHE DECIDED JOHN WAS THE
PROBLEM.
JOHN ENDED UP PUTTING ME
ON A PEDESTAL.
AND THAT WAS GOOD FOR A
WHILE, BUT THEN I GOT TIRED
OF THAT.
Reporter: JOHN COULDN'T
UNDERSTAND WHY VERA DIDN'T
APPRECIATE HIS ATTENTION.
WELL, I THOUGHT SHE WAS
WRONG.
I KNEW THAT SHE NEEDED ME
AND WHAT I COULD PROVIDE WAS
VALUABLE.
Reporter: VERA SAW IT
AS CONTROL.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE
MOLDED AND SHAPED.
I'M THE POWERFUL PERSON, NOT
WE, BUT ME.
Reporter: THE YEARS
PASSED.
THE MARRIAGE SUFFERED.
EVEN AS THEY RAISED THREE
CHILDREN, VERA THOUGHT ABOUT
LEAVING JOHN.
BUT BY THE SUMMER OF 2009,
VERA WOULD NEED JOHN MORE
THAN EVER.
HER ROUTINE PHYSICAL
REVEALED TROUBLING NEWS.
YOU HAVEN'T BEEN HERE IN
SIX YEARS.
I'M GOING TO DO A ROUTINE
BLOOD TEST.
Reporter: VERA WAS
NEVER SICK AND WORKED OUT
TWICE A DAY.
SHE SAYS THE RESULTS OF HER
BLOOD WORK WERE LIKE A PUNCH
IN THE STOMACH.
I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS.
AND I SAID, WHAT'S THE BAD
NEWS.
AND HE GOES, I THINK YOU
HAVE LEUKEMIA.
AND I'M, LIKE, WHAT'S
LEUKEMIA?
I'M THINKING FOR A MINUTE,
AND I'M, LIKE, WAIT, IS THAT
A CANCER?
AND HE GOES YEAH.
AND HE SAYS, WHAT'S WORSE IS
I THINK YOU HAVE ABOUT TWO
WEEKS TO LIVE.
Reporter: SHE WANTED A
SECOND OPINION, SO
ONCOLOGIST ANTHONY DESALVA
WAS CALLED IN.
HE CONFIRMED THE RESULTS.
ACUTE LEUKEMIA, IN THE
ABSENCE OF URGENT TREATMENT,
IS RAPIDLY FATAL.
IT IS TYPICALLY WITHIN WEEKS
WITHOUT TREATMENT YOU WILL
DIE.
Reporter: VERA NEEDED
MORE THAN SUCCESS NOW.
SHE NEEDED GOD.
SHE HAD ATTENDED CHURCH ALL
HER LIFE BUT DIDN'T KNOW IF
GOD WOULD LISTEN.
I'M TELLING YOU AT THAT
MOMENT, EVERYTHING JUST FELL
FOR ME.
IT WAS LIKE THE BAGS, THE
CLOTHES, THE MATCHING PURSE
AND SHOES -- NONE OF THAT
MATTERED.
OKAY, GOD, WAIT A MINUTE.
I'M IN A CROSSROADS HERE.
ARE YOU REAL?
CAN I CALL ON YOU?
ARE YOU ABLE?
ALL OF THESE STORIES AND ALL
OF THESE THINGS, IS THAT FOR
REAL MY WHOLE LIFE?
ARE YOU MAD AT ME?
WILL YOU EVEN LISTEN TO ME
NOW?
I'VE BEEN DOING EVERYTHING
ON MY OWN TERMS.
THE FIRST THING I DID WAS
REACHED OUT FOR A LIFESAVER,
AND THAT WAS GOD.
SO I WENT BACK TO MY ROOTS.
BECAUSE I WASN'T GOING TO
SAVE MYSELF.
YOU CAN PUT YOUR TRUST IN
MEDICINE, BUT THE ULTIMATE
HEALING IS GOING TO HAVE TO
BE GOD.
Reporter: WITHIN TWO
DAYS, FAMILY WAS CALLED IN
TO TAKE CARE OF THE
CHILDREN.
VERA AND JOHN FLEW TO
SEATTLE WHERE THEY MET
DR. JOHN KEGEL WITH THE FRED
HUTCHISON CANCER RESEARCH
CENTER.
HIS ASSESSMENT OF VERA'S
DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE MYELOID
LEUKEMIA WASN'T PROMISING.
IT WAS ONE THE WORST A.M.
L., REALLY HIGH RISK.
WE TREATED HER WITH A HIGH
REGIMEN OF CHEMOTHERAPIES,
AND WE WEREN'T REALLY SURE
IT WOULD WORK.
BUT WE DID FEEL IT WAS
IMPORTANT FOR HER, GIVEN THE
HIGH-RISK NATURE OF HER
DISEASE.
Reporter: BEFORE THE
TREATMENTS BEGAN, JOHN
BELIEVED GOD GAVE THEM A
PROMISE.
WHEN THE DOCTORS COME IN,
THEY HAVE TO TELL YOU ALL OF
THE WORST-CASE SCENARIOS.
IT IS LIKE WHATEVER THEY
SAID, IT DIDN'T MATTER
BECAUSE GOD SAID SHE'S GOING
TO LIVE, SHE'S GOING TO
LIVE.
THE SCRIPTURE, JEREMIAH
29: 11: "FOR I KNOW THE
PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU, NOT TO
HURT YOU OR TO HARM YOU, BUT
TO GIVE YOU A HOPE AND A
FUTURE."
I TOOK THAT LITERALLY.
Reporter: FOR MONTHS,
VERA SUFFERED THROUGH
AGONIZING CHEMOTHERAPY
TREATMENTS.
JOHN STAYED BY HER SIDE AND
BELIEVED GOD FOR HER
HEALING.
THEIR CHILDREN FLEW TO
SEATTLE TO SPEND TIME WITH
HER, BUT THE DAYS GREW
DARKER AND DARKER.
I WAS JUST OVERWHELMED.
AND IN MY POCKET, I DON'T
KNOW IF I HEARD SOMETHING OR
WHATEVER, BUT I REACHED IN
MY POCKET AND GOT MY PHONE
OUT, AND THEY'RE LIKE, THIS
IS THE CBN PRAYER LINE.
Reporter: JOHN AND VERA
RELIED ON THE CBN PRAYER
CENTER FOR SUPPORT.
BUT FOR A STAFF MEMBER TO
CALL THEM AND KNOW THEIR
NEED JUST AMAZED JOHN.
I WAS, LIKE, WOW, GOD,
YOU KNEW AT THE EXACT
MOMENT.
Reporter: THEY REJOICED
WHEN VERA WENT INTO
REMISSION.
BUT HER BATTLE FOR LIFE WAS
FAR FROM OVER.
I THINK THE ODDS OF
LONG-TERM SUCCESS WERE CLOSE
TO ZERO WITHOUT THE STEM
CELL TRANSPLANT FOR SURE.
Reporter: BUT VERA'S
BLOOD CONTAINED A RARE
ANTIGEN THAT WAS DIFFICULT
TO MATCH.
THE SEARCH FOR A DONOR WENT
WORLDWIDE.
DAYS PASSED AND VERA
WAITED.
THE WHOLE TIME YOU'RE
JUST GOING, IF I CAN JUST
GET THROUGH THIS, IF I CAN
GET THROUGH THIS AND GET THE
TRANSPLANT, I'M GOING TO
LIVE.
SO YOU JUST GO INTO SURVIVAL
MODE.
Reporter: FINALLY A
DONOR WAS FOUND.
WE HAD TO USE AN
ALTERNATIVE DONOR THAT
WASN'T COMPLETELY MATCHED.
THAT WAS ALSO VERY HIGH-RISK
AND MORE CHALLENGING.
Reporter: THE SAME
MONTH VERA WAS DIAGNOSED
WITH LEUKEMIA, A MAN NAMED
DIMITRI WAS VOLUNTEERING A
SA SALIVA SAMPLE AT A BLOOD
BANK I IN TEL AVIV.
21 DAYS LATER SHE LEFT TO BE
MONITORED OFF-CAMPUS.
I BELIEVE THAT GOD HAD
HIS WONDERFUL HANDS ALL OVER
VERA.
NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.
YOU COULD SEE IT EVERY
SINGLE DAY WHEN YOU SAW
HER.
Reporter: AFTER SEVEN
MONTHS, VERA FINALLY
RETURNED HOME TO HAWAII.
DR. ANTHONY DISALVO TOOK
OVER HER CARE.
IT IS AMAZING.
I'VE SENT THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE FOR TRANSPLANTS, AND
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING
LIKE VERA.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY
RECOVER SO QUICKLY AND SO
PROFOUNDLY.
Reporter: JOHN AND VERA
SAY THE PROMISE GOD GAVE
THEM CAME TO PASS.
I THINK THE MESSAGE TO ME
WAS IF GOD GIVES YOU A
PROMISE, TRUST IN THAT
PROMISE BECAUSE IT WILL COME
TO PASS.
NO MATTER WHAT THE
CIRCUMSTANCES SAY, TRUST IN
WHAT GOD HAS SPOKEN TO YOU.
IT IS A BEAUTIFUL LOVE
AFFAIR WITH GOD AND I NOW.
AND HE MENDED MY BROKEN
HEART.
HE FIXED MY MARRIAGE AND
BRINGS PEACE AND JOY TO MY
HOME, TO MY STORES, MY
GALLERIES, AND HE HAS
RADICALLY CHANGED THE
CHILDREN'S HEARTS THROUGH
GOD.
EVEN MY LITTLE 9-YEAR-OLD,
YOU KNOW, JESUS HEALED MY
MOMMY'S BLOOD, AND HE DID.
THIS JOURNEY CONTINUES.
IT'S ALL UPWARD AND ONWARD.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOD
HAS IN STORE, BUT I'M PRETTY
SURE IT'S A GOOD THING.
I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S A GOOD
THING.
Terry: FOR I KNOW THE
PLANS THAT I HAVE FOR YOU,
SAYS THE LORD.
PLANS TO PROSPER YOU AND
GIVE YOU HOPE AND A FUTURE.
THAT IS WHAT SHE -- THAT'S
ONE PROMISE.
ONE PROMISE.
Pat: YOU LAY HOLD OF
GOD, AND GOD HAS THE
ANSWER.
IT IS AN AMAZING STORY.
TERRY, YOU HAVE ANOTHER
ANSWER YOU WANT TO SHARE.
Terry: THIS IS FROM
LISA.
SHE SAYS, "I WATCH YOUR
PROGRAM EVERY NIGHT.
I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CYST
ON MY THYROID AND WAS TOLD
BY THE DOCTOR I HAVE TO HAVE
A NEEDLE BIOPSY IN MY NECK.
I'M DEATHLY AFRAID OF
NEEDLES, ESPECIALLY IN MY
NECK.
THE NIGHT I FOUND OUT ABOUT
THIS DIAGNOSIS, I WAS
WATCHING YOUR PROGRAM, AND
PAT SAID, THERE IS SOMEONE
OUT THERE WITH SOMETHING ON
YOUR THYROID AND JESUS IS
HEALING IT RIGHT NOW.
I PUT MY HAND ON MY NECK,
AND THANK YOU, JESUS.
TWO WEEKS LATER, THE DOCTOR
COULD FIND NO CYST AND NO
NEEDLES."
Pat: PRAISE THE LORD.
THERE IS SOMEBODY FROM
HAMPTON, NEW YORK, WHO WAS
DIAGNOSED WITH PARANOID
SCHIZOPHRENIA 10 YEARS AGO.
SHE TOOK MEDICATIONS, BUT
THEY HAD A MAJOR SIDE EFFECT
AND THEY CAUSED HER TO HAVE
A CLENCHED JAW.
AND ONE DAY SHE WAS WATCHING
AND SHE HEARD TERRY SAYING,
SOMEBODY, YOU HAVE
SCHIZOPHRENIA AND A CLENCHED
JAW, AND GOD IS HEALING
THAT.
THIS WOMAN, PAT, CLAIMED THE
WORD OF GOD AND HAS BEEN
SYMPTOM AND MEDICATION-FREE
EVER SINCE.
Terry: THAT'S A YAY,
GOD!
Pat: YOU SAY, THESE ARE
SPECIAL PEOPLE, BUT WE'RE
ALL PEOPLE IN GOD'S EYES.
TERRY AND I WANT TO PRAY
TOGETHER AND WE'RE GOING TO
BELIEVE GOD FOR YOU.
FATHER, WE JOIN TOGETHER AND
WE PRAY FOR THESE IN THIS
AUDIENCE WHO ARE SUFFERING,
WHO NEED HEALING.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE
RIGHT NOW WHO HAVE HEART
PROBLEMS, YOU HAVE LEAKY
VALVES IN YOUR HEART, YOU
HAVE HEART MURMURS, YO AND
YOU HAVE OTHER CONDITIONS.
WE SPEAK THAT THOSE HEARTS
SHOULD REGULATE AND BEAT AS
NORMAL, AND THAT YOU WOULD
BE EVERY BIT WHOLE.
AND YOU'LL FIND STRENGTH
COMING INTO YOUR BODY EVEN
AS WE SPEAK.
IN JESUS' NAME.
Terry: THERE IS SOMEONE
NAMED MARTY, AND YOU HAVE A
CONDITION THAT HAS PLAGUED
YOU FOR SOME TIME.
AND YOU FEEL LIKE GOD HAS
NOT RESPONDED.
TODAY IS YOUR DAY.
WHATEVER IT IS THAT IS
PLAGUING YOU, BE SET FREE IN
JESUS' NAME.
Pat: THE WORD "VICTORY"
COMES TO MIND.
MANY OF YOU FEEL DEFENDED.
I WANT TO PROCLAIM THE WORD
OF JESUS, THERE IS VICTORY
IN THE LORD.
IN YOUR OWN LIFE, SAY I AM A
VICTOR IN JESUS CHRIST.
JUST SAY IT AND BELIEVE IT,
AND RECEIVE VICTORY FROM
THIS MOMENT ON IN JESUS'
NAME.
Terry: AND LESLIE, YOUR
PRAYER HAS BEEN HEARD AND
GOD IS HEALING YOU RIGHT
NOW.
Pat: LESLIE, AMEN.
TERRY, WHAT'S NEXT?
Terry: WAYS TO BEAT THE
STRESS, SAVE MONEY, AND HAVE
MORE FUN THIS HOLIDAY
SEASON.
WHO DOESN'T NEED THAT?
OUR KRISTI HAS THE GAME PLAN
WITH A SPECIAL GUEST, COMING
UP.
Reporter: WELCOME BACK
TO WASHINGTON FOR THIS CBN
NEWSBREAK.
THE U.P.S. FOUNDATION IS
CUTTING OFF SUPPORT TO THE
BOY SCOUTS OVER IT'S POLICY
OF EXCLUDING GAY OR LESBIANS
FROM BEING SCOUTS OR SCOUT
LEADERS.
IT GAVE MORE THAN $85,000 TO
THE BOY SCOUTS LAST YEAR.
NOW THE FOUNDATION SAYS THAT
ALL GROUPS APPLYING FOR
GRANTS WILL HAVE TO MEET THE
SAME HIRING SYNDROMES AS
U.P.S.
THE FOUNDATION MADE THE
CHANGE AFTER AN ON-LINE
PETITION PROTESTING ITS
GRANTS TO THE SCOUTS
GARNERED 80,000 SIGNATURES.
PEOPLE IN 22 STATES HAVE
PETITIONED THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO SUCCEED FROM
THE UNION AFTER PRESIDENT
OBAMA'S RE-ELECTION.
SOME 157,000 PEOPLE IN
STATES, INCLUDING LOUISIANA,
ALABAMA, GEORGIA, AND TEXAS,
HAVE SIGNED THEIR NAMES TO
PETITIONS.
THE PETITIONS HAVE BEEN
SUBMITTED THROUGH THE WHITE
HOUSE'S WEBSITE CALLED "WE
THE PEOPLE."
LOUISIANA WAS THE FIRST
STATE TO FILE WITH MORE THAN
13,000 SIGNATURES.
THE WHITE HOUSE HAS YET TO
RESPOND.
REMEMBER, YOU CAN ALWAYS GET
THE LATEST FROM CBN NEWS BY

PAT AND TERRY WILL BE BACK
WITH MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB"
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
Kristi: WELCOME BACK TO
"THE 700 CLUB."
I'M HERE WITH LIFE COACH,
JENNIFER TUMION, AND SHE IS
GOING TO SHOW US WAYS TO
TAKE THE STRESS OUT OF THE
HOLIDAYS BY PUTTING THE FUN
BACK INTO THEM.
LET'S GET RIGHT IT.
THERE IS A LOT OF STRESS
AROUND THE HOLIDAYS, AND THE
HOLIDAYS HAVE SO MUCH
MEANING AND BEAUTY AND JOY,
AND WE WANT TO SPREAD IT AND
STRESS LESS AND SMILE MORE
THROUGHOUT THE HOLIDAY
SEASONS.
SO LET'S START WITH SOME
BASICS.
THANKSGIVING IS HERE.
CHRISTMASTIME, CONNECT
PEOPLE BY MAKING A PHOTO
SET.
SOMETHING THAT IS FUN.
SOMETHING YOU CAN TAKE
PICTURES OF THE FAMILY.
MAYBE GET A PILGRIM HAT.
A LITTLE TURKEY PUPPET.
HAVE EVERYBODY POSE AND MAKE
A SIGN THAT SAYS THE HOLIDAY
AND THE YEAR.
PRINTOUT THE PICTURES AND
YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE
BEFORE THEY LEAVE.
THEY CAN ALL TAKE PICTURES
TOGETHER AND HAVE A BLAST.
Kristi: I CHEATED A
LITTLE AND HIT THE PHOTO
BOOTH A LITTLE EARLIER AND
HAD SO MUCH FUN.
IT KIND OF DESTRESSES
EVERYONE.
AND ALSO MUSIC.
MUSIC IS SOMETHING THAT
MAKES US ALL SMILE AND ENJOY
EACH OTHER'S COMPANY.
AND IF YOU FIND OUT YOUR
GUESTS -- WHAT THEIR
FAVORITE SONGS ARE AHEAD OF
TIME, YOU CAN DO A LITTLE
PRE-HOST PLANNING AND MAKE A
C.D. OF EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE
MUSIC.
AND GIVE IT TO THEM AFTER
THE PARTY.
Kristi: AND YOU CAN
PLAY IT DURING THE PARTY.
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO
STRESS OUT.
I HAVE MY KIDS TAKE THEIR
CRAYONS AND MAKE SNOWMEN.
YOU COULD DO IT RIGHT AT THE
PARTY.
YOU CAN TAKE PICTURES AND
SCAN THEM AND MAKE THE C.D.
COVERS.
THIS IS N MY GRANDFATHER,
AND WE FOUND AN OLD PICTURE
OF HIM AND MADE A C.D. FOR
HIM.
Kristi: AND MY FAMILY
IS ALL ABOUT THE FOOD, AND
IT BETTER BE GOOD.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FOOD.
MY FAMILY IS FOODIES AS
WELL.
BUT RATHER THAN STRESSING
OVER 10 SUPER DISHES, I SAY
MAKE ONE SUPER DISH.
THIS IS MY HUSBAND'S
CHESTNUT SAUSAGE.
Kristi: LET ME TASTE IT
WHILE YOU'RE TALKING.
GO AHEAD AND EAT IT.
Kristi: DON'T MIND IF I
DO.
KEEP TALKING.
THIS TAKES A LITTLE MORE
TIME.
AND YOU CAN KEEP THE OTHER
MEALS -- OR THE OTHER FOOD
CHOICES SORT OF SIMPLE.
ADD IN LITTLE THINGS.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO SWEET
POTATOES, YOU CAN GO AND BUY
IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME.
Kristi: THIS IS GREAT.
I'LL TELL MY HUSBAND.
YOU CAN PUT CINNAMONS IN
PECANS.
IT IS A HALF HOMEMADE
APPROACH.
YOU CAN ADD THE CHEESE TO
ADD INTO YOUR MASHED
POTATOES, AND BLACKBERRIES
TO PUT INTO A SALAD.
IT KEEPS IT SIMPLE, BUT
STILL GOURMET.
Kristi: WITH OUR KIDS,
WITH THINK ABOUT CHRISTMAS
GIFTS.
THE FOOD AND THE GIFTS.
GIFT SHOPPING CAN BE
STRESSFUL.
I THINK IF YOU CAN MAKE IT A
LITTLE PERSONAL TO THE
RECIPIENT, THEY'RE GOING TO
FEEL REALLY GOOD AND IT IS
GOING TO STRESS-FREE THE
HOLIDAY SEASON.
IF YOU KNOW ONE OF YOUR
FRIENDS IS ALWAYS ON HER
FEET, GET HER A PAIR OF SPA
SOCKS OR NECK WRAP.
WRITE A LITTLE NOTE, USE
THIS AT NIGHT TO RELAX.
FOR A MOM THAT IS RUNNING
ALL THE TIME, A LITTLE MUG
THAT SAYS, "TAKE SOME
TIME."
SO IT GIVES A LITTLE MORE
MEANING AT THE HOLIDAYS.
THESE ARE SUPER SIMPLE
NECKLACES YOU CAN MAKE.
YOU GO TO THE CRAFT STORE
AND GET A CHARM THAT IS
SPECIFIC FOR THE PERSON
YOU'RE GIVING IT TO.
FOR THE TEA PERSON, YOU CAN
GET A LITTLE TEA PUT AND PUT
IT ON THE STRING.
AND YOU PRINTOUT ON YOUR
PRINTER, "TAKE TIME FOR
TEA."
"LET THIS NECKLACE REMIND
YOU YOU ALWAYS HAVE A FRIEND
TO HAVE TEA WITH."
THE NECKLACE ON THE STRING
WAS LESS THAN $6 IN TOTAL.
Kristi: BUT THE THOUGHT
BEHIND IT IS PRICELESS.
IT ELEVATES THE MEANING.
EVEN THE BIBLE IS SUCH A
GREAT GIFT.
Kristi: COME ON.
A FRIEND WHO IS GOING
THROUGH SOME TOUGH TIMES.
I PUT A LITTLE KEY WITH THE
STRING.
I SAID THIS IS THE KEY TO
RELIEVE YOUR STRESS.
I WOULD MARK OFF SOME
PASSAGES THAT ARE SPECIFIC
TO WHAT THAT PERSON IS GOING
THROUGH WITH A LITTLE NOTE.
IT IS A NICE GIFT TO REMIND
PEOPLE THAT THE LORD IS WITH
THEM.
THEY DON'T NEED TO STRESS.
THEY HAVE THEIR STRESS
RELIEF RIGHT IN THEIR
HANDS.
Kristi: JENNIFER HAS A
WHOLE BOOK HOW TO ENJOY A
STRESS FE-FREE LIFE.
IT IS CALLED "BALANCE YOUR
LIFE, BALANCE YOUR SCALE."
AND YOU CAN CHECK OUT HER
RECIPES WHEN YOU CHECK OUT
CBN.COM.
JENNIFER, THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
I APPRECIATE YOU.
THANK YOU.
Kristi: THIS WAS GREAT
FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON, AND
I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MORE
IDEAS.
WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE OF
"THE 700 CLUB" RIGHT AFTER
THIS.
Pat: THANKSGIVING IS
COMING UP NEXT WEEK.
Terry: YES.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?
Pat: NO, I REALLY
CAN'T.
AND FOLLOWING THAT SHORTLY
IS CHRISTMAS.
THIS IS COMING TO YOU.
IT IS OVERFLOWING WITH
THANKFULNESS.
TO SHOW WE'RE THANKFUL, WE
WANT TO HELP THOSE LESS
FORTUNATE.
THIS IS COMING TO YOU.
PLEASE OPEN IT, PLEASE FILL
OUT SOMETHING.
BY THE WAY, HERE IS THE
GREAT RECIPE.
Terry: I HAVE IT ON MY
DESK.
Pat: GET IT OFF YOUR
DESK AND MAKE IT.
Terry: I'M PLANNING IT
FOR THE THANKSGIVING
WEEKEND.
Pat: YOU ARE?
Terry: OH, YES.
Pat: THEY'LL LOVE IT.
LET'S ANSWER SOME
QUESTIONS.
Terry: THIS FIRST IS
FROM JULIETTE WHO SAYS, "IF
GOD HAS ALREADY PURPOSED HIS
WILL, CAN OUR PRAYERS CHANGE
HIS WILL?"
Pat: JESUS SAID, YOU
KNOW, PRAY THAT YOUR FLIGHT
BE NOT ON THE SABBATH IN THE
WINTERTIME.
HE IS TALKING ABOUT THE
TRIBULATION COMING IN THAT
PART OF THE WORLD.
HE SAYS YOU CAN CHANGE THAT
BY YOUR
PRAYERS.
SO I THINK OUR PRAYERS -- I
DON'T UNDERSTAND THE
INTERPLAY BETWEEN US AND
GOD, BUT OUR PRAYERS DO MAKE
A DIFFERENCE.
BUT THE WILL OF GOD DOES
STAND.
HE HAS A PLAN AND A WILL
THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO
CHANGE.
AND JESUS HIMSELF SAID, FOR
EXAMPLE, THE TIME I COME
BACK, THE DAY, NOBODY KNOWS,
NOT EVEN THE ANGELS.
THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THE
FATHER HAS KEPT TO HIMSELF.
WHAT WE DO WON'T HAVE ANY
EFFECT ON IT.
BUT DO I KNOW THE MYSTERIES,
THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN MAN
AND GOD, NO.
BUT WE KEEP TRYING TO
LEARN.
Terry: KAREN SAYS, "ARE
THERE ANY STEPS BETWEEN MAN
AND GOD THAT CAN PROTECT MAN
FROM DEMONIC INFLUENCES?"
Pat: READ THE WORD AND
SPEAK, SPEAK.
SATAN, I BIND YOU AND THE
FORCES OF EVIL.
DON'T HESITATE TO USE THOSE
WORDS AND MEAN THEM.
IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT.
THE OTHER THING IS, BE
FILLED WITH THE HOLY
SPIRIT.
BE ANOINTED BY THE HOLY
SPIRIT.
WALK IN THE SPIRIT.
PRAY IN THE SPIRIT.
LIVE IN THE SPIRIT.
IN THAT SPIRITUAL REALM, YOU
WILL HAVE AUTHORITY OVER
DEMONIC POWER.
Terry: AND PRAISE, I
THINK, TOO.
Pat: ABSOLUTELY.
Terry: A VIEWER
SAYS, "IS IT EVER OKAY TO
DISOBEY YOUR AUTHORITY?"
Pat: LOOK AT WHAT THE
APOSTLE PETER SAID.
WHETHER IT IS RIGHT FOR YOU
TO OBEY GOD OR OBEY YOU,
YOU'VE GOT TO DECIDE.
THE CIVIL AUTHORITIES TOLD
THEM THEY COULDN'T SPEAK,
AND THEY SAID WE CANNOT BUT
SPEAK THE THINGS WE HAVE
SEEN AND HEARD.
Terry: GAIL SAYS, "I
HAVE VISITED CHURCHES WHERE
THE WHOLE CONGREGATION
SPEAKS IN TONGUES WITHOUT AN
INTERPRETER, DOESN'T IT SAY
NO MORE THAN ONE OR TWO
SHOULD SPEAK AND NOT WITHOUT
AN INTERPRETER.
AND ALSO DOESN'T 1
CORINTHIANS SAY EACH ARE
GIVEN DIFFERENT GIFTS, SO
WOULDN'T ALL HAVE THE GIFT
OF TONGUE TONGUES."
Terry: THERE ARE TIMES
IN A CHURCH WHERE THERE IS
PRAYER, AND PEOPLE ARE
QUIETING PRAYING --
Pat: RAG E PRAYING IN
THE SPIRIT, AND PRAYING IN
THEMSELVES.
BUT THERE IS THE ABILITY TO
BRING MESSAGES, AND THERE IS
THE ABILITY TO WORSHIP GOD
IN THE SPIRIT.
ALL OF US WHO ARE
SPIRIT-FILLED CAN PRAY IN
THE SPIRIT, IN TONGUES.
BUT IF THEY'RE PRAYING, AS
TERRY SAID TO THE LORD, AND
THEY'RE ALL PRAYING
TOGETHER, THAT'S OKAY.
BUT IF YOU'VE GOT EVERYBODY
BRINGING MESSAGES AT THE
SAME TIME, THEN IT IS
CHAOS.
I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE YOU
WERE TALKING ABOUT.
Terry: AVERY SAYS, "I'M
A HAIRDRESSER, AND I LIVE
PAPAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK, AND
THE TIPS I RECEIVE HELP GET
BY.
I WAS WONDERING, IS IT WRONG
TO CLAIM MY TIPS AT THE END
OF THE YEAR FOR TAXES?
I'M AFRAID IF I DO, I
WOULDN'T GET MUCH BACK AT
THE END OF THE YEAR?"
Pat: EVERYBODY HATES TO
PAY TAXES, BUT THE TRUTH IS,
YOUR TIPS ARE TAX ABLE
INCOME.
GOD WILL BLESS YOU.
Terry: DON'T BE AFRAID
OF GIVING GOD WHAT HE ASKS
FOR AND HE'LL GIVE YOU ALL
YOU NEED.
Pat: TAX EVASION IS ONE
OF THE THINGS THEY PUT YOU
IN JAIL FOR.
YOU WOULD
Terry: EMMA SAYS, "I'VE
BEEN STRUGGLING OVER THIS
QUESTION, IF A CHRISTIAN
DIES LOVING AND BELIEVING IN
CHRIST AND YET WITH A DRUG
ADDICTION AND THE ACT OF
USING, WOULD HE GO TO HELL
BECAUSE HIS DRUG USE IS AN
ACT.
PLEASE ANSWER."
Pat: WHY WOULD YOU TAKE
A CHANCE?
IF YOU KNOW TAKING DRUGS IS
WRONG AND YOU ABUSE YOUR
BODY.
BUT DOES GOD FORGIVE YOU?
MAYBE THE THIEF ON THE
CROSS, AND HE SAID, LORD,
REMEMBER ME.
AND JESUS SADE SAID, THIS
DAY YOU'LL BE WITH ME IN
PARADISE.
THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED A
DEATH-BED REPENTANCE.
BUT YOU'RE TAKING DRUGS AND
YOU PASS OUT AND YOU DIE --
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?
THE ANSWER IS, I WOULDN'T DO
IT.
BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST AND YOU SHALL BE
SAVED -- THAT'S WHAT THE
BIBLE SAYS.
WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
BYE-BYE.
