I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, IT IS A

NEW YEAR AND GOD IS GOING TO

DO SOME GOOD THINGS.

THE FIRST THING WE'RE GOING

TO TALK ABOUT IS YOUR

QUESTIONS.

WE'RE GOING TO ANSWER THEM.

YOU READY, PAT?

Pat: I'LL TRY.

LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

Kristi: JANET SAYS, "AM

I CURSED BECAUSE I GOT FIRED

FROM MY JOB FOR LYING.

I'VE BEEN OUT OF WORK FOR

TWO AND A HALF YEARS WITH

TWO KIDS TO FEED.

NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO

ON WELFARE.

I APOLOGIZED AT WORK FOR

LYING AS I WENT BRAIN-DEAD

AND FELT SURROUNDED AND

AFRAID.

WILL I EVER GET MY LIFE

BACK, OR IS THIS A

PUNISHMENT?"

Pat: COME ON.

GOD DOESN'T PUT US IN SOME

KIND OF PERG TOR PERGATORY

FOR TELLING ONE LIE.

THE QUESTION IS, WHY DID YOU

LIE?

WHAT WERE YOU LYING ABOUT?

IS THERE SOMETHING ABOUT

YOUR PERSONALITY THAT YOU

WANT TO COVER UP?

THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT

YOU.

SO I CAN'T SAY IF YOU'RE

CURSED OR NOT.

BUT GOD DOESN'T CURSE US ON

ACCOUNT OF SIN.

EVERYBODY SINS.

YOU COME BEFORE THE LORD,

AND HE IS FAITHFUL AND JUST

TO FORGIVE US OF ALL OF OUR

SINS AND TO CLEANSE US OF

ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.

SO IF THERE IS SOMETHING

YOU'RE DOING, CONFESS IT TO

HIM.

AND GET OFF OF HIS CURSE

THING AND START TALKING

ABOUT POSITIVE.

WHAT CAN YOU DO THAT IS

GOOD?

WHAT IS YOUR SKILL SET?

WHAT CAN YOU OFFER TO AN

EMPLOYER?

YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T OWE YOU

A JOB.

NOBODY OWES YOU A JOB, BUT

YOU ARE THERE TO FULFILL

SOME ECONOMIC NEED THAT

THEY'LL PAY FOR.

SO WHAT IS IT THAT YOU CAN

DO?

AND IF YOU CAN'T DO

SOMETHING, GO OUT AND START

GETTING TRAINED TO DO

SOMETHING.

GET CONTINUING EDUCATION.

GO TO SOME STATE-RUN

COMMUNITY COLLEGE OR TAKE AN

ONLINE COURSE OR SOMETHING

AND ENHANCE YOUR SKILLS.

BUT SITTING AROUND THINKING,

I'M CURSED, GOD DOESN'T WORK

THAT WAY.

Kristi: GOOD WORD.

SPEAKS BLESSINGS AND NOT

CURSES.

GERALD SAYS, "I'M CONFUSED

ABOUT JUDGMENT DAY.

IF A PERSON CONFESSES THEIR

SINS AND ACCEPTS JESUS INTO

THEIR HEART AND LIFE, AND

THAT SAME PERSON DIES AND

GOES TO HEAVEN, WHAT HAPPENS

TO THAT PERSON ON JUDGMENT

DAY.

SURELY GOD WOULDN'T ADMIT

SOMEONE TO HEAVEN ONLY TO

BANISH THEM TO HELL ON

JUDGMENT DAY."

Pat: JOHN 5: 24, "HE

WHO HEARS MY WORD AND

BELIEVES ON HIM WHO SENT ME,

HAS EVERLASTING LIFE, AND

SHALL NOT COME INTO JUDGMENT

BUT IS PASSED FROM DEATH

INTO LIFE."

THAT'S WHAT JESUS SAYS.

WHEN YOU RECEIVE HIM AND

GIVE HIM YOUR HEART AND GIVE

HIM YOUR LIFE, YOU ARE

PASSED FROM LIFE AND YOU

SHALL NOT COME INTO

JUDGMENT.

SO YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FACE

THE GREAT WHITE THRONE

JUDGMENT.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE

FACING JUDGMENT.

YOU WILL ACCOUNT FOR WHAT

YOU DO IN THE BODY BEFORE

THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF

CHRIST.

BUT THAT ISN'T TO DECIDE

WHETHER YOU'RE GOING TO HELL

OR NOT.

IT IS A QUESTION OF WHAT

KIND OF REWARD YOU'LL HAVE

IN HEAVEN.

AT LEAST THAT'S THE WAY THE

BIBLE TELLS US.

STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE

FACT.

IF YOU'VE DONE WHAT YOU SAY

YOU'VE DONE, REJOICE IN THE

FACT THAT YOU'RE PART OF A

NEW KINGDOM.

JESUS SAID, BLESSED ARE

THOSE OF MY FATHER WHO

ENTERED THE KINGDOM.

Kristi: AND IT TALKS

ABOUT STORING UP YOUR

TREASURES IN HEAVEN.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO BE SO

NICE TO PEOPLE BECAUSE I

WANT A MANSION IN HEAVEN

WITH AN INDOOR SWIMMING

POOL.

Pat: HOW ABOUT A LITTLE

SHACK IN THE CORNER.

Kristi: AS LONG AS I

GET TO HEAVEN, I WILL TAKE

THAT SHACK.

STEPHANIE SAYS, "I CAME FROM

A MORMON BACKGROUND, AND I

AM NOT A NEW CHRISTIAN, BUT

I CONSTANTLY STRUGGLE WITH

THE FOUNDATIONS OF CHRISTIAN

FOUNDATION.

I HAVE LOOKED AT CHURCHES IN

MY AREA, BUT I CAN'T FIND

ANY WITH A REALLY CHRISTIAN

FOUNDATION.

WHERE CAN I START IN THE

BIBLE?"

Pat: THE EASY GREEK IS

JOHN.

JOHN WROTE VERY SIMPLE

GREEK.

THE THOUGHTS ARE PROFOUND,

BUT, NEVERTHELESS, THE

STATEMENTS ARE EASY TO

UNDERSTAND.

I WOULD START WITH THE

GOSPEL OF JOHN, AND READ THE

GOSPELS ALL THE WAY THROUGH

MATTHEW, MARK, AND LUKE.

GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF

JESUS.

AND THEN GET INTO THE

LETTERS OF PAUL, GET INTO

THE BOOK OF ACTS, AND ABSORB

THIS.

LET THIS BE PART OF YOUR

THINKING.

I JUST THINK BIBLICALLY, IN

TERMS OF WHAT THE BIBLE

SAYS, BECAUSE IT'S PART OF

ME.

THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.

THAT'S HOW YOU GROW IN THE

LORD.

Kristi: COOL.

READY FOR THE NEXT ONE?

GRACE SAYS, "I'M 20 AND I

LOVE MY DAD SO MUCH, BUT

LATELY I FEEL THAT A BIG

HOLE IN IS MY HEART BECAUSE

I DON'T FEEL CLOSE TO HIM.

IS IT A PART OF GROWING UP.

BUT HE ALSO HAD THREE OTHER

KIDS.

AM I WRONG?"

Pat: IS THIS A

DAUGHTER?

Kristi: I THINK SO, IT

IS GRACE.

Pat: DAUGHTERS NEED THE

AFFECTION OF THEIR FATHER.

AND MOST FATHERS, CLOGS THAT

WE ARE, DON'T UNDERSTAND

THAT.

AND WE WANT TO GO OUT

PLAYING BALL WITH OUR SONS.

AND THE DAUGHTER IS YEARN

FOR AFFECTION.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SIT

DOWN WITH HIM, OR MAYBE YOU

CAN TALK TO YOUR MOTHER.

YOU DIDN'T MENTION THE FACT

THAT YOUR MOTHER IS AROUND

SOME PLACE.

SEE IF YOU CAN'T WORK OUT A

TIME.

I KNOW ONE GUY USED TO HAVE

WHAT HE CALLED A SPECIAL

TIME WITH DADDY.

YOUR FATHER NEEDS TO FIND A

TIME FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE

CRYING OUT TO HIM.

I DON'T KNOW, AS YOU GET

OLDER, MAYBE HE DOESN'T KNOW

HOW TO RELATE TO YOU.

THE LITTLE GIRL IS EASY, YOU

SIT ON DADDY'S KNEE, AND HE

TELLS YOU STORIES.

BUT WHEN YOU GET TO BE 20

YEARS OLD, YOU'RE A

DIFFERENT CREATURE, AND

YOU'RE READY TO GET MARRIED,

AND HE DOESN'T QUITE KNOW

WHAT TO DO WITH YOU.

ALL I CAN SAY IS, IF YOU

HAVE GOT A MOTHER, TALK TO

YOUR MOTHER.

IF NOT, TALK TO YOUR FATHER,

AND SAY, LISTEN, I WANT TO

HAVE A LITTLE TIME WITH

YOU.

HOW ABOUT I GO OUT AND HAVE

DINNER, OR HAVE LUNCH, OR

LET'S GO TO A BALLGAME.

BUT DO THAT.

YOU'RE A DAUGHTER.

DO YOU HAVE SOME OTHER

THOUGHTS?

Kristi: ABSOLUTELY.

I THINK THAT IS GREAT

ADVICE.

BECAUSE THE BOTTOM LINE IS,

NO MATTER HOW OLD YOUR DADDY

IS OR HOW ARE YOU OLD YOU

ARE, THAT'S STILL YOUR

DADDY.

AND WE ALL DESIRE OUR

PARENTS' LOVE.

Pat: FIVE-YEAR-OLD

MARIA WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO

HAVING A NEW BABY SISTER.

BUT WHEN THE BABY WAS BORN,

BOTH MARIA AND HER MOTHER

WERE SHOCKED AT WHAT THEY

SAW.

Reporter: 5-YEAR-OLD

MARIA STILL REMEMBERS HOW

SHOCKED SHE WAS WHEN SHE SAW

THE BABY SISTER.

I TOLD MY MOTHER IF SHE

MADE MY BABY SISTER'S MOUTH

LOOK LIKE THAT, DID YOU DROP

HER?

I TOLD MY DAUGHTER, NO, I

DIDN'T DROP HER.

I FELT SO BAD WHEN SHE SAID

THAT.

Reporter: MEANWHILE,

BABY NAOMI WASN'T GAINING

WEIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS

DIFFICULT FOR HER TO SWALLOW

THROUGH A BOTTLE.

SHE COULDN'T DRING ENOUGH

MILK.

IT WAS COMING OUT OF HER

NOSE AND SHE WAS CHOKING.

Reporter: HER HUSBAND

HAD ABANDONED THE FAMILY

WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT WITH

NAOMI.

AND NOW THE RESPONSIBILITY

FELL ON HER.

THAT'S WHEN CBN OFFERED TO

HELP.

WE SET UP A FREE SURGERY FOR

THE BABY IN A HOSPITAL IN

LIMA, PERU.

A FEW WEEKS AFTER THE

OPERATION, WE WENT BACK TO

SEE HOW SHE WAS DOING.

EVERYONE IS HAPPY NOW

BECAUSE SHE CAN SMILE AND

DRINK HER MILK.

Reporter: AND WHEN

5-YEAR-OLD MARIA SAW HER

SISTER AFTER THE OPERATION,

HER REACTION WAS PRICELESS.

SHE SAID, MOMMY, MOMMY,

SHE IS HEALED.

I AM VERY HAPPY BECAUSE

NOW MY BABY SISTER CAN

SMILE.

THANK YOU, CBN, FOR FIXING

FIXING NAOMI'S MOUTH.

Pat: THERE IS INFINITE

POSSIBILITY IN A CHILD.

A LITTLE CHILD, A LITTLE

BABY.

AFTER ALL, IT WAS LITTLE

BABY -- I LOVE THAT

SONG, "MARY, DID YOU KNOW

YOUR BABY BOY WOULD ONE DAY

RULE THE NATION."

AND YOU SEE THAT LITTLE BABY

CHILD.

AND THE FACT THAT YOU GIVE

LIFE AND HAPPINESS AND HOPE

TO A LITTLE BABY IS A

WONDERFUL THING.

SO WHEN YOU'RE PARTICIPATING

WITH CBN, THAT'S WHAT YOU

CAN DO.

THIS NEW YEAR IS A GOOD TIME

TO START OUT AND SAY, LOOK,

I WANT TO GIVE SOMETHING TO

MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN

PEOPLE'S LIVES.

AND WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO JOIN

"THE 700 CLUB."

AND YOU CALL IN AT

1-800-759-0700.

IT IS 65 CENTS A DAY, AND

YOU CAN BE A PART OF

CHANGING THE WORLD.

KRISTI?

Kristi: GOOD DEAL.

UP NEXT, A CHRONIC PROBLEM

WITH ACUTE ATHLETES FEET.

IT COVERED MY FEET.

I COULDN'T EVEN WEAR A

SHOE.

AND I WAS DESPERATE.

IT WAS PAINFUL.

Kristi: SEE HOW THIS

CONDITION WAS HEALED

OVERNIGHT.

PLUS, WE'RE GOING TO BE

PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR

NEEDS.

SO WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T GO

AWAY.

Kristi: ON "THE 700

CLUB," WE LOVE TO BRING YOU

STORIES OF MODERN DAY

MIRACLES.

TODAY WE TAKE YOU BACK TO

1987, WHEN A MAN NAMED JOHN

CALHOUN WAS 16 YEARS OLD.

HE WAS A TROUBLED TEENAGER

WITH A SEVERE CASE OF

ATHLETE'S FOOT.

HE WENT TO SLEEP ONE NIGHT,

AND BY THE TIME HE WOKE UP,

JOHN HAD RECEIVED A DOUBLE

MIRACLE.

I WOULD LAY IN BED AT

NIGHT AND LOOK AT MY HAND,

AND ASK THE QUESTION, WHERE

DID I COME FROM?

I WOULD QUESTION IT SO

DEEPLY, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE

THE ANSWER.

NO ONE WAS THERE TO TELL

ME.

AND I DESPERATELY WAS

SEARCHING.

Reporter: JOHN CALHOUN

CAME FROM A BROKEN HOME.

EVEN AT 16, HE WANTED MORE

OUT OF LIFE.

HE TRIED DRUGS AND ALCOHOL.

EVEN THE OCCULT.

I WAS HOLDING A BOOK IN

MY HAND ABOUT ASTRAL

PROJECTION, WASN'T REALLY

BELIEVING IN IT, AND

SUDDENLY I BLINKED MY EYES,

AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW,

I BEGAN TO GO THROUGH THE

ROOF AND OVER THE TOP OF THE

HOUSE, AND WAS LITERALLY

LEAVING THE EARTH.

I REMEMBER GOING INTO OUTER

BLACKNESS AND DARKNESS, LIKE

I WAS BEING CATAPULTED

BACKWARDS AT A GREAT RATE OF

SPEED.

I WENT NUMB.

I WAS JUST FASCINATED AT

FIRST.

AND THEN FEAR OVERCAME ME.

IT WAS FEAR YOU COULD TASTE,

FEAR YOU COULD TOUCH.

AND I SCREAMED OUT FOR

HELP.

AND IT SEEMED AS IF

SOMETHING WAS PULLING ME

INTO A PIT OF DARKNESS.

AND THEN I HEARD A VOICE SAY

JESUS, AND MY MOTHER HAD

SEEN THIS TAKING PLACE.

SHE SAID MY EYES WERE ROLLED

BACK IN MY HEAD.

AND SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO

DO.

SHE GRABBED AHOLD OF ME.

SHE LAPPED ME ON THE FACE.

Reporter: HIS ENCOUNTER

WITH THE SUPER NATURAL

FRIGHTENED HIM.

IT MADE JOHN WANT TO

UNDERSTAND, IS THERE MORE TO

THIS LIFE?

IS HEAVEN AND HELL REAL?

JOHN HAD A PAPER ROUTE.

WHILE FOLDING PAPERS ONE

MORNING, HE CAME ACROSS "THE

700 CLUB."

PAT BEGAN TO TALK ABOUT

THAT YOU CAN BE SAVED JUST

BY ACCEPTING WHAT JESUS DID

ON THE CROSS.

NOT BY GOOD WORKS OR BEING

RELIGIOUS.

I WAS AMAZED TO KNOW YOU

DIDN'T HAVE TO EARN GOD'S

LOVE.

THAT JUST BLEW MY MIND, THAT

YOU COULD JUST ASK JESUS TO

COME INTO YOUR HEART.

AND THAT'S ALL HE NEEDED

FROM ME.

AND SO THEN I ASKED HIM INTO

MY HEART THAT DAY.

GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT CAME INTO

THE ROOM AND FILLED THAT

VOID UP THAT WAS ON THE

INSIDE OF ME.

AND A PEACE THAT PASSES ALL

UNDERSTANDING CAME INTO MY

HEART.

AND I KNEW THAT I WAS

SAVED.

Reporter: LATER IN THE

PROGRAM, PAT ROBERTSON

PRAYED FOR HEALING AND HAD A

WORD OF KNOWLEDGE THAT GOT

JOHN'S ATTENTION.

AND PAT SAID, SOMEONE HAS

AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH YOUR

FEET.

IT IS VERY PAINFUL.

AND I REMEMBER HE SAID IT'S

LIKE THERE ARE SCABS ON YOUR

FEET AND THEY'RE BLEEDING,

AND THEY'RE VERY PAINFUL,

AND GOD IS HEALING YOU RIGHT

NOW.

Reporter: FOR YEARS,

THE TEEN HAD BEEN BATTLING A

PROBLEM WITH HIS FEET.

NO MEDICINE SEEMED TO HELP.

I HAD A CHRONIC FOOT

PROBLEM YOU COULD SAY WAS

ATHLETES FEET.

IT WASN'T IN ONE SPOT.

IT COVERED MY FEET.

IT GOT TO WHERE THE LAST

COUPLE OF DAYS, I COULDN'T

EVEN WEAR A SHOE.

AND I WAS DESPERATE.

IT WAS PAINFUL.

THE NEXT MORNING I WOKE UP,

AND THEN I LOOKED DOWN AT MY

FEET, AND THEY WERE LIKE A

NEWBORN BABY'S SKIN, JUST

PERFECT.

ABSOLUTELY, INSTANTANEOUSLY

TOTALLY HEALED.

I BELIEVE GOD WANTED TO

REASSURE ME HE HEARD MY

PRAYER BY SHOWING ME WHAT HE

DID ON THE OUTSIDE.

GOD WAS SAYING, IF I CAN DO

THIS ON THE OUTSIDE, THIS IS

WHAT I CAN DO ON THE

INSIDE.

Kristi: MAN, ISN'T THAT

FANTASTIC!

GOD IS A HEALING GOD.

HE CAN HEAL YOUR HEART.

HE CAN HEAL YOUR MIND.

HE CAN HEAL YOUR PHYSICAL

BODY.

WHATEVER NEED YOU HAVE

TODAY, PAT AND I ARE GOING

TO JOIN IN AND ENCOURAGE YOU

AND WE'RE GOING TO PRAY

BECAUSE GOD IS A TRUE

HEALER.

Pat: OKAY.

AND HERE IS SOMETHING ELSE

THAT WAS ONE AND A HALF

YEARS AGO.

ALTI OF OCEAN BEACH, NORTH

CAROLINA, HAD A RASH ON HER

ARM, ALONG WITH ITCHING AND

REDNESS.

THEY TRIED OVER-THE-COUNTER

CREAMS AND NONE OF THEM

WORK.

AND ONE DAY HE -- I GUESS IT

IS A HE -- HEARD KRISTI GAVE

A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE.

YOU HAVE A RASH AND GOD IS

HEALING YOU.

ALTI CLAIMED, I'M CLAIMING

THIS HEALING FOR MYSELF.

BY THE END OF THE WEEK, ALL

SIGNS OF THE RASH WAS GONE.

Kristi: AND THIS IS

FROM AGNES FROM LOUISIANA.

ONE DAY HER MOVED HER NECK

AND SHE FELT A POP.

EVERY TIME SHE TRIED TO TURN

HER NECK AFTERWARDS, SHE HAD

EXCRUCIATING PAIN.

SHE TRIED SEVERAL REMEDIES,

BUT THERE WAS NO LASTING

PAIN.

THE PAIN PERSISTED FOR,

CHECK THIS OUT, SEVEN

YEARS.

ONE DAY SHE AND HER SON WERE

WATCHING "THE 700 CLUB," AND

SHE HEARD LITERALLY CALL HER

NAME.

Pat: IF PAT CALLED HER

NAME.

Kristi: GLAD YOU CAN

READ IT.

PAT CALLED OUT HER PROBLEM,

A NECK MUSCLE IS BEING

HEALED.

PUT YOUR HAND ON YOUR NECK

IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AND BE

MADE WHOLE.

AGNES WAS HEALED AND NOW

WORKS OUT EVERY DAY.

PRAISE GOD.

Pat: WE HAVE ABOUT A

MINUTE BEFORE THE END OF

THIS SHOW.

KRISTI AND I ARE GOING TO

JOIN HANDS AND PRAY FOR

YOU.

LORD, NOTHING IS

IMPOSSIBLE.

YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF THIS

LIFE AND THIS WORLD, AND WE

PRAY, MY GOD, IN JESUS'

NAME, THAT YOU MIGHT REACH

OUT AND TOUCH PEOPLE NOW.

LET THE HEALING POWER OF THE

LORD JESUS CHRIST -- YES,

ANOTHER NECK PROBLEM IS

BEING HEALED, RASHES ARE

BEING HEALED, FUNGUS IS

BEING HEALED IN THE NAME OF

JESUS.

Kristi: WE COME AGAINST

SICKNESS AND ILLNESS IN THE

NAME OF JESUS.

FATHER, WE THANK YOU FOR

RESTORING STRENGTH AND

HEALTH TO YOUR PEOPLE,

FATHER GOD.

Pat: ULCERATED COLITIS

BEING HEALED DRAMATICALLY.

YOU'LL FEEL A BURNING IN

YOUR INSIDE, AND YOU ARE

TOTALLY HEALED IN JESUS'

NAME.

Kristi: SOMEBODY PULLED

THEIR BACK AS WELL, AND THE

LORD IS HEALING THAT

SITUATION.

Pat: THAT'S ALL THE

TIME WE HAVE FOR THIS

PROGRAM.

TOMORROW, FIND OUT HOW A $10

BILL GIVES ONE HOMELESS MAN

A NEW LEASE ON LIFE.
