(rousing music)
00:00:01.344 --> 00:00:02.879
- [announcer] the following program is sponsored by cbn.
00:00:01.344 --> 00:00:06.316
- [gordon] coming up, a terrible accident.
00:00:06.316 --> 00:00:09.619
- [manda] he was unconscious,
00:00:09.619 --> 00:00:10.954
And he said there was just blood everywhere.
00:00:10.954 --> 00:00:13.256
- [gordon] and a teenager's skull is crushed.
00:00:13.256 --> 00:00:15.992
- [manda] the doctors came in and said
00:00:15.992 --> 00:00:17.694
That there's nothing more medically that we can do for him.
00:00:17.694 --> 00:00:20.430
- [gordon] see a fight for life.
00:00:20.430 --> 00:00:22.198
- [manda] they thought he would live for maybe 24 hours
00:00:22.198 --> 00:00:24.834
- [gordon] and a prayer call heard around the world.
00:00:24.834 --> 00:00:27.904
- [manda] every doctor would come in
00:00:27.904 --> 00:00:29.205
To say how he was a miracle.
00:00:29.205 --> 00:00:31.141
- on today's 700 club.
00:00:31.141 --> 00:00:33.610
(rousing music)
00:00:34.144 --> 00:00:40.350
Welcome to the 700 club.
00:00:41.017 --> 00:00:43.086
Can you imagine being thrown in prison
00:00:43.086 --> 00:00:45.855
For a crime you didn't commit?
00:00:45.855 --> 00:00:48.691
It's estimated 20,000 innocent people
00:00:48.691 --> 00:00:51.861
Are behind bars in america.
00:00:51.861 --> 00:00:54.397
- jonathan fleming used to be among them.
00:00:54.397 --> 00:00:56.933
As charlene aaron tells us,
00:00:56.933 --> 00:00:58.635
He spent a quarter of a century in prison,
00:00:58.635 --> 00:01:01.738
Wrongly convicted of murder.
00:01:01.738 --> 00:01:04.641
- jonathan fleming spent nearly 25 years in prison
00:01:05.875 --> 00:01:08.978
For a crime he didn't commit.
00:01:08.978 --> 00:01:11.347
Thanks to attorneys taking a closer look at his case,
00:01:11.347 --> 00:01:14.717
Fleming was released, and now wants to help others
00:01:14.717 --> 00:01:17.954
Who have also been wrongfully convicted.
00:01:17.954 --> 00:01:20.924
In 1989, jurors convicted fleming of second degree murder
00:01:20.924 --> 00:01:25.395
In the death of a new york drug dealer.
00:01:25.395 --> 00:01:27.697
Fleming, who also sold drugs and knew the man,
00:01:27.697 --> 00:01:30.767
Says he had a solid alibi.
00:01:30.767 --> 00:01:32.969
- i happened to be in florida with my family
00:01:32.969 --> 00:01:35.405
At the time when my friend was killed.
00:01:35.405 --> 00:01:37.640
I took my son, my oldest son to orlando, florida
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:42.078
For his ninth birthday.
00:01:42.078 --> 00:01:44.080
- [charlene] prosecutors argued fleming
00:01:44.080 --> 00:01:45.782
Could have returned to brooklyn to commit the crime.
00:01:45.782 --> 00:01:48.651
They also produced a witness
00:01:48.651 --> 00:01:50.220
Who testified seeing fleming pull the trigger.
00:01:50.220 --> 00:01:53.223
- she said that she actually seen me do this murder.
00:01:53.223 --> 00:01:55.892
And i know for a fact, i was telling myself
00:01:57.093 --> 00:01:58.628
That it's not true
00:01:58.628 --> 00:01:59.963
Because i wasn't even in new york on that day.
00:01:59.963 --> 00:02:02.465
- [charlene] fleming, however, was found guilty,
00:02:02.465 --> 00:02:04.701
And spent the next 24 years of his life behind bars.
00:02:04.701 --> 00:02:08.738
- prison was really rough.
00:02:08.738 --> 00:02:10.240
I was in prison for something i didn't do.
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:12.575
So i did start getting in a lot of trouble.
00:02:12.575 --> 00:02:16.479
But i was very angry
00:02:17.146 --> 00:02:18.548
- [charlene] and that anger consumed him
00:02:18.548 --> 00:02:20.617
Until an experience at a church service.
00:02:20.617 --> 00:02:23.586
- and i don't remember what the word that day was,
00:02:23.586 --> 00:02:26.656
But i found myself standing up and i walked forward
00:02:27.924 --> 00:02:30.893
And i turned my life over to god.
00:02:31.861 --> 00:02:33.863
- [charlene] a spiritual transformation
00:02:33.863 --> 00:02:35.465
That answered longtime prayers for his ex-wife.
00:02:35.465 --> 00:02:38.635
- and i just listened to him go on and on and on
00:02:38.635 --> 00:02:41.304
About what the pastor had preached
00:02:41.304 --> 00:02:43.306
And how he's found himself getting up
00:02:43.306 --> 00:02:45.441
And going towards the altar,
00:02:45.441 --> 00:02:47.377
"and yeah, this just feels so good.
00:02:47.377 --> 00:02:49.312
And i don't know what i'm feeling,
00:02:49.312 --> 00:02:50.813
But i'm excited, trish, i'm excited."
00:02:50.813 --> 00:02:53.316
And i was like, god is just awesome.
00:02:53.316 --> 00:02:56.219
- [charlene] fleming spent years
00:02:56.219 --> 00:02:57.420
Trying to prove his innocence,
00:02:57.420 --> 00:02:59.155
And a break finally came
00:02:59.155 --> 00:03:00.790
When brooklyn's conviction review unit took his case.
00:03:00.790 --> 00:03:04.260
Attorneys found evidence proving fleming
00:03:04.260 --> 00:03:06.596
Could not have been in new york at the time of the murder,
00:03:06.596 --> 00:03:09.532
Information authorities never turned over
00:03:09.532 --> 00:03:11.801
To his defense team.
00:03:11.801 --> 00:03:13.303
- we were able to discover a document,
00:03:13.303 --> 00:03:16.939
A receipt which had been taken from mr. fleming
00:03:16.939 --> 00:03:20.576
At the time of his arrest.
00:03:20.576 --> 00:03:22.011
That of course, meant that the eyewitness testimony
00:03:22.011 --> 00:03:25.114
That had been produced in that case,
00:03:25.114 --> 00:03:27.116
To the effect of an eyewitness saying
00:03:27.116 --> 00:03:29.652
That they saw mr. fleming commit the shooting homicide
00:03:29.652 --> 00:03:33.256
Was false.
00:03:33.256 --> 00:03:35.425
- [charlene] these investigative teams,
00:03:35.425 --> 00:03:37.060
Also known as integrity review units,
00:03:37.060 --> 00:03:39.729
Are spreading across the country.
00:03:39.729 --> 00:03:41.998
And in 2018 alone, statistics show,
00:03:41.998 --> 00:03:45.134
They helped free 58 wrongfully convicted people.
00:03:45.134 --> 00:03:48.638
- there were probably less than 20 such units
00:03:48.638 --> 00:03:51.174
Around the country.
00:03:51.174 --> 00:03:52.608
Since that time, and the success that we had initially,
00:03:52.608 --> 00:03:57.947
And continue to have with regard
00:03:58.748 --> 00:04:00.383
To our conviction review unit,
00:04:00.383 --> 00:04:02.552
That number has more than doubled,
00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:05.321
To the point where we have
00:04:05.321 --> 00:04:07.090
More than 40 such units around the country.
00:04:08.224 --> 00:04:10.760
- [charlene] a new team in georgia helped free darryl hall,
00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:13.730
Sentenced to life for possessing two grams of cocaine
00:04:13.730 --> 00:04:17.433
In 1991.
00:04:17.433 --> 00:04:19.268
Media mogul, tyler perry recently gave him a job
00:04:19.268 --> 00:04:22.438
At his atlanta studios.
00:04:22.438 --> 00:04:24.273
- he said he was having trouble getting a job.
00:04:24.273 --> 00:04:25.541
I'm like, well, look around,
00:04:25.541 --> 00:04:26.509
We got lots of room around here.
00:04:26.509 --> 00:04:27.810
Come on, let's go to work.
00:04:27.810 --> 00:04:29.312
And it just shows you the level of how if you're poor,
00:04:29.312 --> 00:04:32.648
Black and disenfranchised,
00:04:32.648 --> 00:04:34.250
How you don't even have a chance at justice, in most cases.
00:04:34.250 --> 00:04:38.521
- [charlene] in fleming's case,
00:04:38.521 --> 00:04:39.622
Justice arrived on april 8th, 2014.
00:04:39.622 --> 00:04:43.292
- it was like my life started all over again.
00:04:43.292 --> 00:04:46.829
I was so happy.
00:04:46.829 --> 00:04:48.197
And the judge said, "your case is dismissed."
00:04:48.197 --> 00:04:50.466
And the first thing i did,
00:04:50.466 --> 00:04:51.768
I turned around and i went right to my mother.
00:04:51.768 --> 00:04:53.603
- while fleming is grateful for the work of attorneys
00:04:53.603 --> 00:04:56.205
And investigators, he says, the real credit goes to god.
00:04:56.205 --> 00:05:00.309
- and he released me and delivered me
00:05:00.309 --> 00:05:01.911
When he felt that i was ready.
00:05:01.911 --> 00:05:03.613
But it wasn't until i turned my life over to him
00:05:03.613 --> 00:05:05.882
That things started happening.
00:05:05.882 --> 00:05:07.483
- [charlene] that includes letting go of anger
00:05:07.483 --> 00:05:09.819
Towards those responsible for robbing him
00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:12.422
Of nearly 25 years of his life.
00:05:12.422 --> 00:05:14.857
- i was able to forgive,
00:05:14.857 --> 00:05:16.726
Because he forgave me for the things that i've done.
00:05:16.726 --> 00:05:19.061
- [charlene] meanwhile, the state of new york
00:05:19.061 --> 00:05:20.730
Awarded fleming $6 million for his wrongful incarceration,
00:05:20.730 --> 00:05:25.435
Something he hopes to use to help others
00:05:25.435 --> 00:05:27.837
Through the jonathan fleming foundation.
00:05:27.837 --> 00:05:30.506
- when i came home, i had no housing.
00:05:30.506 --> 00:05:33.876
I had to stay with my cousin for the first eight months.
00:05:33.876 --> 00:05:38.948
When i came home, i didn't have nothing.
00:05:40.082 --> 00:05:41.350
I wanna help people when they come home,
00:05:41.350 --> 00:05:42.952
Try to provide them with homes, places to stay,
00:05:42.952 --> 00:05:45.621
Places that they could go to when they are released.
00:05:45.621 --> 00:05:47.657
Because a lot of times, we are just pushed out
00:05:47.657 --> 00:05:49.759
With nowhere to go.
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:51.194
- charlene, aaron, cbn, news, raleigh, north carolina.
00:05:51.194 --> 00:05:55.565
- well, the bible's real specific
00:05:55.565 --> 00:05:57.300
That the whole land comes under a curse
00:05:57.300 --> 00:05:59.769
When the innocent or wrongfully convicted.
00:05:59.769 --> 00:06:04.073
We need to take this seriously.
00:06:04.073 --> 00:06:05.942
And whether it's review of that 1994 criminal act
00:06:05.942 --> 00:06:09.312
That had mandatory minimums, and three strikes, you're out,
00:06:09.312 --> 00:06:13.649
Or the mere fact that our conviction rates
00:06:13.649 --> 00:06:16.786
Are falsely inflated and prosecutors are rewarded
00:06:16.786 --> 00:06:20.389
On convictions, not on justice.
00:06:20.389 --> 00:06:23.559
We need to change, and we need to do it now.
00:06:23.559 --> 00:06:26.896
We'll be back with more of the 700 club right after this.
00:06:26.896 --> 00:06:30.099
(rousing music)
00:06:30.099 --> 00:06:37.373

00:08:04.994 --> 00:08:07.229
- i had a drug test that was coming up.
00:08:08.364 --> 00:08:10.533
I had the drugs in my hand and i was thinking
00:08:10.533 --> 00:08:12.868
That if i use this today, i'm going to lose my kids.
00:08:12.868 --> 00:08:17.640
So i got on my knees and i went down a list
00:08:18.808 --> 00:08:21.877
Of everything that i could think of that i had done wrong,
00:08:21.877 --> 00:08:24.213
Both outwardly and inside.
00:08:24.213 --> 00:08:26.916
I just told him, i'm sorry that i did these things,
00:08:26.916 --> 00:08:30.720
And, jesus, i want you to come into my heart
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.489
And be the lord of my life, and it was real.
00:08:33.489 --> 00:08:37.727
(tranquil music)
00:08:38.294 --> 00:08:39.295
- i was muslim for four years.
00:08:39.295 --> 00:08:41.230
I had spells cast on me,
00:08:41.230 --> 00:08:43.666
And just everything you can think of.
00:08:43.666 --> 00:08:46.402
I never got what i was looking for.
00:08:46.402 --> 00:08:49.238
There was no real power to change my life.
00:08:49.238 --> 00:08:53.009
I had tried everything.
00:08:53.009 --> 00:08:54.710
It just came to a point where it was like, you know what,
00:08:54.710 --> 00:08:57.713
I don't wanna do this anymore.
00:08:57.713 --> 00:08:59.482
The little old lady at the church, she'd come and get me.
00:08:59.482 --> 00:09:02.852
She prayed for me,
00:09:02.852 --> 00:09:04.153
And all i know is i felt the love of god.
00:09:04.153 --> 00:09:08.324
We would read from genesis to revelation,
00:09:08.324 --> 00:09:10.793
And we just went deep in the word of god.
00:09:10.793 --> 00:09:13.696
Everything about me, even my very continents
00:09:13.696 --> 00:09:16.432
Began to change after that point.
00:09:16.432 --> 00:09:19.435
And now i just have a desire to see them experience,
00:09:19.435 --> 00:09:24.507
The loving kindness of god that i have experienced,
00:09:25.741 --> 00:09:27.877
To see that true change is possible,
00:09:27.877 --> 00:09:30.680
And that what you thought that you were looking for
00:09:30.680 --> 00:09:33.182
Can only be found in christ.
00:09:33.182 --> 00:09:37.253

(uplifting music)
00:10:08.384 --> 00:10:09.652
- giving to the 700 club is giving to the world.
00:10:09.652 --> 00:10:12.822
700 club are my feet. they're walking it there.
00:10:12.822 --> 00:10:15.925
All i'm doing is helping write the check.
00:10:15.925 --> 00:10:18.294
- it's just like planting a seed in the ground,
00:10:19.562 --> 00:10:21.931
And the water comes and the sun hits it, and it grows.
00:10:21.931 --> 00:10:26.368
- you can trust cbn.
00:10:26.368 --> 00:10:27.770
They're gonna take your money and invest it wisely.
00:10:27.770 --> 00:10:30.840
- [supporter] you are saving souls through your giving.
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:38.047
(tranquil music)
00:10:38.581 --> 00:10:39.982
- i remember just walking through the wilderness
00:10:39.982 --> 00:10:41.484
And just mesmerized by the nature, the beauty, the silence.
00:10:41.484 --> 00:10:45.688
But in the midst of that silence,
00:10:45.688 --> 00:10:47.690
God began to reveal himself to me.
00:10:48.758 --> 00:10:50.826
God showed me what i had become.
00:10:51.660 --> 00:10:55.831
I just got up and i said, i need something greater than me.
00:10:55.831 --> 00:10:59.301
When you've tried everything and nothing's worked,
00:11:00.636 --> 00:11:02.171
Cry out to jesus.
00:11:02.171 --> 00:11:07.543
- [announcer] stay connected with cbn news
00:11:08.644 --> 00:11:10.880
All day across our platforms.
00:11:10.880 --> 00:11:14.116
(rousing music)
00:11:14.116 --> 00:11:17.319
- beaten and tortured, that's what an attorney suffered
00:11:18.721 --> 00:11:21.624
Who fought for christians in communist romania.
00:11:21.624 --> 00:11:24.727
Then after she personally humiliated the dictator,
00:11:24.727 --> 00:11:28.130
She thought it was the end of the line.
00:11:28.130 --> 00:11:30.699
An assassin came to her office
00:11:30.699 --> 00:11:32.768
And pointed a gun at her head.
00:11:32.768 --> 00:11:35.738
Abigail robertson tells us what happened next.
00:11:35.738 --> 00:11:39.441
- virginia prodan doesn't hide the fact
00:11:39.441 --> 00:11:41.577
That she should be dead.
00:11:41.577 --> 00:11:43.212
In her book, "saving my assassin,"
00:11:43.212 --> 00:11:45.514
She tells the incredible story
00:11:45.514 --> 00:11:47.349
Of death staring her in the face,
00:11:47.349 --> 00:11:49.585
And how she fought back with nothing but the word of god.
00:11:49.585 --> 00:11:53.155
- i am not a hero.
00:11:53.155 --> 00:11:55.024
God gave me this mission, and i was a tool in god's hands.
00:11:55.024 --> 00:11:59.161
- why did the romanian government want you killed?
00:11:59.161 --> 00:12:02.131
- because i defended christian and human rights cases.
00:12:02.131 --> 00:12:06.635
And socialist government, it's a government
00:12:06.635 --> 00:12:11.607
Who will establish a system
00:12:11.607 --> 00:12:16.478
Where the government is your god, not christ.
00:12:16.478 --> 00:12:20.716
- during dictator nicolae ceausescu's rule in the 1980s,
00:12:20.716 --> 00:12:25.321
Christians found with bibles or sharing christ with others
00:12:25.321 --> 00:12:28.958
Were thrown in jail,
00:12:28.958 --> 00:12:30.659
Even though the country had religious freedom laws.
00:12:30.659 --> 00:12:33.896
- i was told in the interrogation room
00:12:33.896 --> 00:12:36.832
That those laws were in protect freedom of religion,
00:12:38.100 --> 00:12:42.171
Freedom of speech,
00:12:42.171 --> 00:12:43.305
They were in the law books of romania
00:12:43.305 --> 00:12:47.276
For the western civilization
00:12:47.276 --> 00:12:50.813
To believe that we have freedom.
00:12:50.813 --> 00:12:53.115
- [abigail] but virginia used those laws
00:12:53.115 --> 00:12:55.050
To fight the government anyway.
00:12:55.050 --> 00:12:57.319
- later on, i found out that when i was in the courtroom
00:12:57.319 --> 00:13:01.523
Facing the judge and the persecutors, behind me,
00:13:01.523 --> 00:13:05.928
They were representative from america, from france, italy,
00:13:05.928 --> 00:13:10.633
Jewish, israel, all over the western europe
00:13:10.633 --> 00:13:14.103
Who will take notes and send it to their government.
00:13:14.103 --> 00:13:17.740
So for that reason, i'm alive and i'm not dead,
00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:21.677
Because god protected me.
00:13:21.677 --> 00:13:23.646
- virginia caught the attention of western journalists
00:13:23.646 --> 00:13:26.682
From places like free europe and voice of america.
00:13:26.682 --> 00:13:30.085
- the government had to let me be present at this,
00:13:30.085 --> 00:13:34.490
Otherwise they had to respond, where is she,
00:13:34.490 --> 00:13:37.359
What is the situation, and so forth.
00:13:37.359 --> 00:13:39.428
- but outside the courtroom, the government took its revenge
00:13:39.428 --> 00:13:42.731
By beating and torturing her.
00:13:42.731 --> 00:13:44.967
- i remember full of blood, full of pain.
00:13:44.967 --> 00:13:48.137
As many of them were hitting me and so forth,
00:13:48.137 --> 00:13:51.707
I look straight up to them and i said,
00:13:51.707 --> 00:13:54.710
I don't like what you're doing,
00:13:54.710 --> 00:13:56.946
But god loves you, and i choose to love you.
00:13:56.946 --> 00:14:00.816
And they had to turn their faces because they were crying.
00:14:00.816 --> 00:14:05.120
- [abigail] through it all,
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:06.388
Virginia was winning her religious liberty cases.
00:14:06.388 --> 00:14:09.491
Then came her biggest test.
00:14:09.491 --> 00:14:11.760
- it was so risky that when i received that assignment,
00:14:11.760 --> 00:14:16.532
I said, lord, you give them a chance
00:14:16.532 --> 00:14:19.435
To actually pick up the gun and kill me.
00:14:19.435 --> 00:14:22.671
I received documents that will prove
00:14:22.671 --> 00:14:27.743
That the dictator was lying, continuing to lie to america.
00:14:29.178 --> 00:14:32.481
- [abigail] trusting in the lord, she accepted.
00:14:32.481 --> 00:14:35.351
- i took the job, and later on at night,
00:14:35.351 --> 00:14:39.455
I created her pocket in my suit
00:14:39.455 --> 00:14:42.491
And i put my documents there,
00:14:42.491 --> 00:14:45.160
With the intention to give it to the american embassy
00:14:46.495 --> 00:14:51.066
The next day, because i had a case
00:14:51.066 --> 00:14:53.002
And i knew that they will be in the courtroom.
00:14:53.002 --> 00:14:56.338
- [abigail] miraculously, her plan worked.
00:14:56.338 --> 00:14:59.108
- they took me, interrogated me.
00:14:59.108 --> 00:15:01.543
But that day, they forgot to search me.
00:15:02.711 --> 00:15:05.014
- the documents made it to president ronald reagan,
00:15:05.014 --> 00:15:08.183
Infuriating the romanian dictator.
00:15:08.183 --> 00:15:11.320
- he decided to send a client to my office, the assassin.
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:16.392
Said to me, "i'm not your client, i'm here to kill you."
00:15:17.793 --> 00:15:19.428
And he pointed the gun to me,
00:15:19.428 --> 00:15:21.897
And i thought that i'm gonna die.
00:15:21.897 --> 00:15:24.066
- [abigail] as the assassin screamed at her,
00:15:24.066 --> 00:15:26.268
Virginia fought back the only way she knew how.
00:15:26.268 --> 00:15:29.905
I look at the man and i started to share the gospel.
00:15:29.905 --> 00:15:34.376
He was just a human being like me,
00:15:34.376 --> 00:15:37.246
Looking for the truth like i used to look many years ago.
00:15:37.246 --> 00:15:40.816
And as i shared the gospel with him, i notice,
00:15:40.816 --> 00:15:44.620
I look at the man who scream few seconds ago,
00:15:44.620 --> 00:15:49.458
Melting under god's power.
00:15:49.458 --> 00:15:52.961
- [abigail] instead of taking her life, he accepted christ.
00:15:52.961 --> 00:15:56.432
- he left my office as a free man indeed,
00:15:56.432 --> 00:16:00.569
As a brother in christ,
00:16:00.569 --> 00:16:02.137
And our lives will never be the same.
00:16:02.137 --> 00:16:04.873
- virginia's book includes a chapter
00:16:04.873 --> 00:16:06.842
From her would be assassin on how god transformed his life
00:16:06.842 --> 00:16:10.779
After their divine encounter,
00:16:10.779 --> 00:16:12.614
Even leading him into ministry.
00:16:12.614 --> 00:16:15.050
Reporting from washington, abigail robertson, cbn news.
00:16:15.050 --> 00:16:19.555
- that's an incredible story.
00:16:20.389 --> 00:16:22.024
Incredible bravery, but more importantly, incredible love.
00:16:22.024 --> 00:16:26.562
If you wanna get a copy of the book,
00:16:26.562 --> 00:16:28.097
It's available nationwide.
00:16:28.097 --> 00:16:29.998
Terry?
00:16:29.998 --> 00:16:30.966
- what an incredible story.
00:16:30.966 --> 00:16:32.734
Well, up next, words that parents
00:16:32.734 --> 00:16:34.703
Never wanna hear from the doctors,
00:16:34.703 --> 00:16:36.839
"there's nothing more we can do for your son."
00:16:36.839 --> 00:16:40.109
How did this young teen survive
00:16:40.109 --> 00:16:42.478
After being given less than a day to live?
00:16:42.478 --> 00:16:47.916
- i was told for so many years by my dad
00:16:49.051 --> 00:16:51.920
That i was worthless, that i was no good.
00:16:51.920 --> 00:16:54.690
I did not like myself very much at all.
00:16:54.690 --> 00:16:56.725
And i started asking god to help me.
00:16:57.726 --> 00:17:01.430
I heard this voice say to me, can you forgive?
00:17:01.430 --> 00:17:06.301
And then i said, i can forgive.
00:17:06.301 --> 00:17:08.837
In that moment, i found everything i was looking for.
00:17:10.139 --> 00:17:13.642
He will transform your life like you wouldn't believe.
00:17:13.642 --> 00:17:17.846
- [announcer] melissa and her husband rick
00:17:19.014 --> 00:17:20.449
Have come a long way from when they met.
00:17:20.449 --> 00:17:22.551
Melissa was in real estate.
00:17:22.551 --> 00:17:24.253
Rick had been living on credit cards,
00:17:24.253 --> 00:17:26.455
Trying to start a number of businesses,
00:17:26.455 --> 00:17:28.724
And was $80,000 in debt.
00:17:28.724 --> 00:17:31.193
All the while, the hennens were tithing,
00:17:31.193 --> 00:17:33.862
And the newly married couples
00:17:33.862 --> 00:17:35.164
Started working their way out of the red.
00:17:35.164 --> 00:17:37.332
- i think i had bought into society saying,
00:17:37.332 --> 00:17:40.769
Here's what you should have.
00:17:40.769 --> 00:17:42.104
I simply asked god, do i have money before you?
00:17:42.104 --> 00:17:45.440
I asked god to forgive me instantly.
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.377
I told god, whether i make a lot of money or not,
00:17:48.377 --> 00:17:52.481
I'm done striving.
00:17:52.481 --> 00:17:54.216
- [narrator] today, rick and melissa have three children
00:17:54.216 --> 00:17:56.785
And choose to live way below their means
00:17:56.785 --> 00:17:58.987
So they can help the poor.
00:17:58.987 --> 00:18:00.722
They've already built 13 orphanages
00:18:00.722 --> 00:18:03.091
And a freedom house in india.
00:18:03.091 --> 00:18:04.960
- what i loved about operation blessing
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:06.728
Is that we were really able to see the fruit of that gift.
00:18:06.728 --> 00:18:10.766
- now i have the hunger to make more money
00:18:10.766 --> 00:18:13.202
So we truly can give to all of these places,
00:18:13.202 --> 00:18:16.471
'cause there's a lot of need out there.
00:18:16.471 --> 00:18:19.074
- for me as a musician in my identity,
00:18:19.074 --> 00:18:21.109
That was like the ultimate validation,
00:18:21.109 --> 00:18:22.911
Just literally going out and living the rockstar life.
00:18:22.911 --> 00:18:25.647
It was a darkness that started to wear on me.
00:18:25.647 --> 00:18:28.116
I realized how fake it was,
00:18:28.116 --> 00:18:29.751
So without talking to anybody, i silently left hollywood
00:18:29.751 --> 00:18:32.988
With my dreams shattered, because that was the epitome.
00:18:32.988 --> 00:18:36.425
And i said, god, i need help.
00:18:36.425 --> 00:18:38.894
And at that moment i knew
00:18:38.894 --> 00:18:40.829
I needed to figure out who jesus is.
00:18:40.829 --> 00:18:43.265
I found that acceptance i was looking for.
00:18:43.265 --> 00:18:45.334
The only thing that can fill that hole is jesus christ.
00:18:45.334 --> 00:18:48.403
- the international outreach of cbn is simply amazing.
00:18:49.805 --> 00:18:53.609
I think cbn ends up touching many of the areas of the world
00:18:53.609 --> 00:18:57.045
That you as an individual cannot touch.
00:18:57.045 --> 00:18:59.948
- it allows me to be a part
00:18:59.948 --> 00:19:01.383
Of such an amazing body of christ.
00:19:01.383 --> 00:19:04.753
- i mean, this thrilled us. we love to give.
00:19:04.753 --> 00:19:07.756
- it's a blessing to be able to be a part of this,
00:19:07.756 --> 00:19:10.292
To be able to speak about an amazing community that cbn is.
00:19:10.292 --> 00:19:14.663
(uplifting music)
00:19:14.663 --> 00:19:18.166
- it was so intense with the sinus pressure
00:19:19.301 --> 00:19:22.371
That it was to the point where my jaws were even hurting
00:19:22.371 --> 00:19:26.275
From coughing so intensely.
00:19:26.275 --> 00:19:28.143
It was a battle, it really was.
00:19:28.143 --> 00:19:29.978
He kept saying to me, this too will pass.
00:19:29.978 --> 00:19:32.314
So i just stand up and say, i'm waiting on you, lord.
00:19:32.314 --> 00:19:35.317
I just kept confessing, god is my healer, he is my healer.
00:19:35.317 --> 00:19:39.788
They were to the section where they were talking about
00:19:39.788 --> 00:19:43.392
People receiving healings,
00:19:43.392 --> 00:19:44.826
They were gonna pray for anyone who was sick.
00:19:44.826 --> 00:19:46.928
- someone, you heard the report about sinus conditions,
00:19:46.928 --> 00:19:49.398
And you're saying, please say sinus conditions.
00:19:49.398 --> 00:19:51.300
So for you, i'm saying sinus condition.
00:19:51.300 --> 00:19:54.202
All of that inflammation,
00:19:54.202 --> 00:19:56.071
Everything that seems to be swollen and closed up,
00:19:56.071 --> 00:19:59.274
Open now, in jesus' name.
00:19:59.274 --> 00:20:01.710
- i jumped up and my spirit just kind of leaped
00:20:01.710 --> 00:20:04.346
And i said, that's for me, lord, that's it.
00:20:04.346 --> 00:20:06.248
You think maybe he's not mindful of those things,
00:20:06.248 --> 00:20:08.350
But he's mindful of everything.
00:20:08.350 --> 00:20:09.918
He's just faithful, and he is our healer.
00:20:09.918 --> 00:20:18.226
- [interviewer] you considered yourself an atheist.
00:20:19.528 --> 00:20:21.930
- [walker] yeah.
00:20:21.930 --> 00:20:23.432
- what did you specifically have against christianity?
00:20:23.432 --> 00:20:25.367
- my dad was a former music minister.
00:20:25.367 --> 00:20:28.403
I saw a lot of hurt in that church.
00:20:28.403 --> 00:20:31.239
- [interviewer] in 2015, walker lost his record deal,
00:20:31.239 --> 00:20:34.176
And had their family van repossessed by the label.
00:20:34.176 --> 00:20:37.446
That's when craig decided
00:20:37.446 --> 00:20:38.980
To give their family van to walker.
00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:41.983
- their unconditional love,
00:20:41.983 --> 00:20:43.618
It was so different from what we were used to.
00:20:43.618 --> 00:20:47.856
I went and got a bible and just started reading,
00:20:47.856 --> 00:20:50.359
And reading, and reading.
00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:51.660
- it was amazing to watch the transformation
00:20:51.660 --> 00:20:54.996
And just the power of the holy spirit.
00:20:54.996 --> 00:20:58.600
- [interviewer] walker had given his life to christ
00:20:58.600 --> 00:21:00.702
And couldn't wait to share the news with craig.
00:21:00.702 --> 00:21:03.538
- i said, i believe.
00:21:03.538 --> 00:21:05.207
- are you telling me that you believe
00:21:05.207 --> 00:21:06.908
That jesus is the son of god
00:21:06.908 --> 00:21:09.611
And that you wanna live your life for him?
00:21:09.611 --> 00:21:13.448
He said, that's exactly what i'm saying.
00:21:13.448 --> 00:21:18.353

(uplifting music)
00:21:35.170 --> 00:21:39.241
- traden karch's nickname was big shot.
00:21:40.275 --> 00:21:42.944
His golf coach started calling him that
00:21:42.944 --> 00:21:45.247
Because of his knack for coming through in the clutch.
00:21:45.247 --> 00:21:48.283
After a terrible car crash
00:21:48.283 --> 00:21:50.318
Left traden with a crushed skull,
00:21:50.318 --> 00:21:52.721
Big shot was going to have to beat the odds one more time.
00:21:52.721 --> 00:21:57.426
(sirens wailing)
00:21:57.426 --> 00:21:59.127
- [announcer] the impact was deafening.
00:21:59.127 --> 00:22:01.296
A truck failing to yield the right of way
00:22:01.296 --> 00:22:03.665
Broadsided the van carrying jerry higgins,
00:22:03.665 --> 00:22:06.334
And his two grandchildren cey and traden karch.
00:22:06.334 --> 00:22:10.205
- i heard cey say, "traden, wake up.
00:22:10.205 --> 00:22:12.474
Traden, and wake up."
00:22:12.474 --> 00:22:14.309
- [announcer] jerry and his granddaughter were okay.
00:22:15.577 --> 00:22:17.779
13-year-old traden however.
00:22:17.779 --> 00:22:20.749
- his skull had been crushed,
00:22:20.749 --> 00:22:24.653
And then it wasn't very long and the paramedics were there.
00:22:24.653 --> 00:22:28.957
That's when i called manda.
00:22:28.957 --> 00:22:30.625
- he was unconscious,
00:22:30.625 --> 00:22:31.960
And he said there was just blood everywhere,
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:34.162
And that he kind of had a few seizures.
00:22:34.162 --> 00:22:37.432
I just cried out to god and i said, god,
00:22:37.432 --> 00:22:41.069
You knew this was gonna happen,
00:22:41.069 --> 00:22:43.271
It didn't catch you by surprise.
00:22:43.271 --> 00:22:45.974
And so, i trust you.
00:22:45.974 --> 00:22:49.044
I know that he's in your hands,
00:22:49.044 --> 00:22:51.379
And you're in complete control.
00:22:51.379 --> 00:22:53.715
- [narrator] manda arrived at st. francis hospital
00:22:54.950 --> 00:22:57.219
In tulsa, oklahoma shortly after traden.
00:22:57.219 --> 00:23:00.021
He was barely alive.
00:23:00.689 --> 00:23:02.390
- and then i just started texting everyone i knew
00:23:03.692 --> 00:23:06.027
And just saying, we need you to pray.
00:23:06.027 --> 00:23:08.497
- traden's dad, chris, got to the er
00:23:08.497 --> 00:23:10.899
Moments before his son was taken to surgery.
00:23:10.899 --> 00:23:14.002
- there was a lot of blood,
00:23:14.002 --> 00:23:15.403
And i definitely was not expecting to see all the blood.
00:23:15.403 --> 00:23:19.941
It made it very real, the severity of the situation.
00:23:19.941 --> 00:23:25.013
- [manda] the doctors and the nurses had all told us
00:23:26.348 --> 00:23:28.183
That they thought he would live for maybe 24 hours.
00:23:28.183 --> 00:23:31.987
- [narrator] as the hours passed,
00:23:32.954 --> 00:23:34.322
The waiting room filled up with family and friends
00:23:34.322 --> 00:23:36.892
Praying for the teenager.
00:23:36.892 --> 00:23:39.227
- so that was a blessing,
00:23:39.995 --> 00:23:41.863
To have just so many people automatically praying for him.
00:23:41.863 --> 00:23:46.768
- [announcer] as for chris and manda,
00:23:47.769 --> 00:23:49.304
Memories flooded in of the fun-loving seventh grader,
00:23:49.304 --> 00:23:52.274
Who less than a year earlier,
00:23:52.274 --> 00:23:53.842
Sunk the winning putt for his team
00:23:53.842 --> 00:23:55.944
At the junior pga regional final.
00:23:55.944 --> 00:23:58.380
(spectators applauding)
00:23:58.380 --> 00:23:59.614
- [chris] that was really exciting for him,
00:23:59.614 --> 00:24:01.383
Because he wasn't the best by a long shot on their team.
00:24:01.383 --> 00:24:05.720
- i said, but look at what god did for you.
00:24:06.922 --> 00:24:08.957
I said, how he let you make that winning put.
00:24:08.957 --> 00:24:13.528
- [announcer] traden karch.
00:24:13.528 --> 00:24:15.130
(spectators applauding)
00:24:15.130 --> 00:24:16.865
- [announcer] now they were begging god
00:24:16.865 --> 00:24:18.333
For their son's life.
00:24:18.333 --> 00:24:20.302
(spectators applauding)
00:24:20.969 --> 00:24:21.870
- ball. - go, traden.
00:24:21.870 --> 00:24:23.371
- [announcer] they also reached out through social media.
00:24:23.371 --> 00:24:25.373
- [chris] it was a desperate plea basically just saying,
00:24:25.373 --> 00:24:28.443
If you're a praying person, please pray.
00:24:28.443 --> 00:24:30.779
I need as many people praying to god as i possibly can.
00:24:30.779 --> 00:24:34.215
- [supporter] lord, be with amanda and chris.
00:24:34.215 --> 00:24:36.284
- [announcer] traden survived the six hour surgery,
00:24:36.284 --> 00:24:38.587
And was placed in a medically induced coma.
00:24:38.587 --> 00:24:41.122
- [supporter] lord, my heart aches for them.
00:24:41.122 --> 00:24:42.624
- [manda] the doctors came in and said,
00:24:42.624 --> 00:24:44.159
"we have done everything we can possibly do for traden.
00:24:44.159 --> 00:24:47.929
There's nothing more medically that we can do for him.
00:24:47.929 --> 00:24:51.333
The rest is up to traden.
00:24:51.333 --> 00:24:52.934
- [chris] we really had no idea what was gonna happen,
00:24:52.934 --> 00:24:55.804
Or if he was gonna wake up.
00:24:55.804 --> 00:24:57.639
- [manda] well, he'll never talk or walk.
00:24:57.639 --> 00:24:59.374
He'll be kind of in a vegetative state.
00:24:59.374 --> 00:25:01.643
- [narrator] prayers and encouragement
00:25:02.811 --> 00:25:04.312
Came in from everywhere on social media, including the pga.
00:25:04.312 --> 00:25:08.683
In fact, one of traden's favorite golfers, rory mcelroy,
00:25:08.683 --> 00:25:12.087
Sent him a personal message.
00:25:12.087 --> 00:25:14.055
- and i wish you a really speedy recovery.
00:25:14.055 --> 00:25:16.591
Golf and the pga junior league really need you.
00:25:16.591 --> 00:25:19.094
And when you're feeling better,
00:25:19.094 --> 00:25:20.428
I want you to come to a tournament and meet me,
00:25:20.428 --> 00:25:23.632
And we can hang out, and hopefully we'll see you soon.
00:25:23.632 --> 00:25:27.535
- [announcer] with traden still in a coma,
00:25:27.535 --> 00:25:29.237
The family clung to the outpouring of love
00:25:29.237 --> 00:25:32.107
And their faith in god.
00:25:32.107 --> 00:25:33.975
Then three weeks after surgery,
00:25:33.975 --> 00:25:35.677
The swelling in his brain had gone down and he woke up.
00:25:35.677 --> 00:25:40.148
- [manda] he starts sitting up on his own,
00:25:40.148 --> 00:25:42.384
And then only a week later
00:25:42.384 --> 00:25:45.787
Does he start walking around the hospital with assistance.
00:25:45.787 --> 00:25:49.891
Each day they would see his progress,
00:25:49.891 --> 00:25:52.460
Every doctor would come in
00:25:52.460 --> 00:25:53.561
And just say how he was a miracle.
00:25:53.561 --> 00:25:55.697
- [announcer] after only five weeks in the hospital,
00:25:56.965 --> 00:25:59.334
Traden was released to go to rehab.
00:25:59.334 --> 00:26:02.370
- [manda] traden actually walked out of the hospital
00:26:02.370 --> 00:26:06.207
On his own.
00:26:06.207 --> 00:26:07.676
- [announcer] still traden faced major hurdles.
00:26:08.910 --> 00:26:11.146
He couldn't speak, and had lost his memory.
00:26:11.146 --> 00:26:13.882
As he worked with the rehab staff just to form sounds,
00:26:13.882 --> 00:26:17.118
The family again turned to prayer.
00:26:17.118 --> 00:26:19.788
Within a week, they saw more signs of god's healing.
00:26:19.788 --> 00:26:23.758
- traden had spoke my name for the very first time.
00:26:23.758 --> 00:26:28.363
- mom.
00:26:28.363 --> 00:26:30.932
- [manda] yes, thank you.
00:26:30.932 --> 00:26:32.367
He couldn't actually say words,
00:26:32.367 --> 00:26:34.069
And so he was sounding out each letter to my name,
00:26:34.069 --> 00:26:37.839
Just to mom.
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:39.708
- [announcer] and when chris brought traden's putter to him.
00:26:41.109 --> 00:26:44.879
- [chris] that's when i knew,
00:26:44.879 --> 00:26:45.880
I was like, that part has stayed,
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.083
Because he gripped it the exact same way,
00:26:48.083 --> 00:26:49.918
And we were excited about that.
00:26:49.918 --> 00:26:53.021
That's six in a row.
00:26:53.021 --> 00:26:55.190
- [announcer] two months after the accident,
00:26:56.324 --> 00:26:58.159
Traden went home.
00:26:58.159 --> 00:26:59.494
His speech and memory continued to improve
00:26:59.494 --> 00:27:02.097
As he had to relearn everything
00:27:02.097 --> 00:27:03.531
He had learned since kindergarten.
00:27:03.531 --> 00:27:05.433
By fall, he was back in school
00:27:05.433 --> 00:27:07.068
And finished the seventh grade that year.
00:27:07.068 --> 00:27:09.904
By then, he had watched rory mcelroy's message
00:27:09.904 --> 00:27:12.207
Dozens of times.
00:27:12.207 --> 00:27:13.575
- [rory] traden, how are you?
00:27:13.575 --> 00:27:14.809
- [announcer] he also got to meet him.
00:27:14.809 --> 00:27:17.178
- i remember he walked in and in my mind really saying,
00:27:17.178 --> 00:27:20.715
Huh, is this really him?
00:27:20.715 --> 00:27:24.219
And sure enough, it was.
00:27:24.886 --> 00:27:26.955
- [announcer] at 17 traden shows little sign
00:27:28.089 --> 00:27:30.725
Of speech or memory impairment,
00:27:30.725 --> 00:27:32.894
And he looks forward to graduating in 2022.
00:27:32.894 --> 00:27:36.231
He's also back on the golf course,
00:27:36.231 --> 00:27:38.199
And challenging his dad whenever he can.
00:27:38.199 --> 00:27:41.736
- [chris] i was there.
00:27:42.437 --> 00:27:44.005
I heard the prognosis and i knew what we were looking at.
00:27:44.005 --> 00:27:47.976
God healed traden, there's no doubt.
00:27:47.976 --> 00:27:50.712
- in my opinion, the only reason why i'm still alive
00:27:50.712 --> 00:27:53.348
Is people praying.
00:27:53.348 --> 00:27:55.483
- there is so much power in prayer.
00:27:55.483 --> 00:27:57.585
I mean, i believe that we have the same power,
00:27:57.585 --> 00:27:59.721
We can call upon the same power
00:27:59.721 --> 00:28:01.222
That raised christ from the dead.
00:28:01.222 --> 00:28:02.524
And so, you have to call upon that power.
00:28:02.524 --> 00:28:07.562
- you can call upon the same power
00:28:08.596 --> 00:28:11.299
That raised christ from the dead.
00:28:11.299 --> 00:28:14.636
What traden's mother is quoting,
00:28:14.636 --> 00:28:16.070
She's quoting from the bible,
00:28:16.070 --> 00:28:17.906
That that same resurrection power
00:28:17.906 --> 00:28:21.109
Is not some far away place.
00:28:21.109 --> 00:28:23.511
The apostle paul said that same resurrection power
00:28:23.511 --> 00:28:26.781
Is in you.
00:28:26.781 --> 00:28:28.883
Now, paul was talking from personal experience.
00:28:28.883 --> 00:28:32.287
In the book of acts, it talks about him being
00:28:32.287 --> 00:28:35.557
Taken outside the city and stoned to death.
00:28:35.557 --> 00:28:40.628
So they're throwing heavy rocks at him.
00:28:41.796 --> 00:28:43.598
And the disciples come out, the christians come out
00:28:44.899 --> 00:28:48.770
After the crowd was finished,
00:28:48.770 --> 00:28:51.773
And they pray over paul, and he rises back up,
00:28:51.773 --> 00:28:56.444
And he does something unusual.
00:28:57.312 --> 00:28:58.746
He walks back into the city.
00:28:58.746 --> 00:29:00.582
Paul knew what that resurrection power,
00:29:01.749 --> 00:29:03.418
'cause he had experienced it.
00:29:03.418 --> 00:29:06.287
Here traden, he knows that resurrection power
00:29:06.287 --> 00:29:09.657
Because he's experienced it,
00:29:09.657 --> 00:29:12.427
He's experienced a complete recovery.
00:29:12.427 --> 00:29:15.730
Realize that same resurrection power is available to you,
00:29:15.730 --> 00:29:20.802
And it's not in some far off place, it's right within you.
00:29:22.237 --> 00:29:25.907
If you have received jesus into your heart,
00:29:27.075 --> 00:29:30.311
You have the resurrected one inside you.
00:29:30.311 --> 00:29:34.716
His power is the same yesterday, today and forever.
00:29:34.716 --> 00:29:39.787
All we have to do is believe it, and release it,
00:29:41.055 --> 00:29:44.893
And have faith to believe for that.
00:29:44.893 --> 00:29:48.196
The eyes of the lord go to and fro over the whole earth
00:29:48.196 --> 00:29:51.032
To show himself strong.
00:29:51.032 --> 00:29:53.034
He showed himself strong for traden.
00:29:53.034 --> 00:29:55.403
He responded to the prayer of faith.
00:29:55.403 --> 00:29:58.473
Even though the doctor said it was impossible,
00:29:58.473 --> 00:30:00.842
With god all things are possible.
00:30:00.842 --> 00:30:03.378
So we're going to pray, and we're going to believe for you,
00:30:03.378 --> 00:30:07.515
And we're gonna believe for that resurrection power
00:30:07.515 --> 00:30:10.418
To be released.
00:30:10.418 --> 00:30:11.886
Before we pray, we want to encourage you,
00:30:11.886 --> 00:30:14.022
Because here's some other miracles.
00:30:14.022 --> 00:30:16.491
Here's eileen from new york.
00:30:16.491 --> 00:30:18.760
She suffered with achilles tendonitis, an achilles heel.
00:30:18.760 --> 00:30:23.064
She finally made an appointment to see a podiatrist.
00:30:23.064 --> 00:30:26.434
And then, while she was waiting,
00:30:26.434 --> 00:30:28.369
She was watching the 700 club
00:30:28.369 --> 00:30:30.872
And terry had a word of knowledge
00:30:30.872 --> 00:30:32.440
For someone with her exact condition.
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:34.876
Eileen shouted to her husband,
00:30:34.876 --> 00:30:36.411
"she's talking about an achilles heel."
00:30:36.411 --> 00:30:39.914
Well the next day, eileen absolutely no pain.
00:30:39.914 --> 00:30:44.519
She canceled her doctor's appointment,
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:46.821
Called the cbns prayer line
00:30:46.821 --> 00:30:48.489
To tell us she's still pain free.
00:30:48.489 --> 00:30:51.025
And if you ever have had tendonitis or tendinosis,
00:30:51.025 --> 00:30:54.662
Or that kinds of thing, you know that's a miracle.
00:30:54.662 --> 00:30:58.099
God is in the miracle business, and he's in it for you.
00:30:58.099 --> 00:31:01.269
What do you have?
00:31:01.269 --> 00:31:02.236
- well, this is another one.
00:31:02.236 --> 00:31:03.538
It's been well over a year since linda
00:31:03.538 --> 00:31:05.173
Of san marco, texas had had knee surgery,
00:31:05.173 --> 00:31:08.009
But even after the surgery she still suffered from pain,
00:31:08.009 --> 00:31:10.578
Couldn't walk normally.
00:31:10.578 --> 00:31:12.246
She had lost a significant amount of tissue around her knee.
00:31:12.246 --> 00:31:15.583
While watching the 700 club, gordon, she heard you say,
00:31:15.583 --> 00:31:18.019
"god is reconstructing things in that knee.
00:31:18.019 --> 00:31:21.489
You just felt something move within,
00:31:21.489 --> 00:31:23.291
And that is the hand of god
00:31:23.291 --> 00:31:25.026
Touching, healing and restoring the joint.
00:31:25.026 --> 00:31:27.729
Realize now that you can put weight on that joint,
00:31:27.729 --> 00:31:29.998
You can now move that joint.
00:31:29.998 --> 00:31:31.432
You can stand up and have the confidence
00:31:31.432 --> 00:31:33.434
That you are healed.
00:31:33.434 --> 00:31:35.136
In jesus' name, be healed, be made whole."
00:31:35.136 --> 00:31:38.473
Well, by faith, linda claimed god's healing.
00:31:38.473 --> 00:31:41.109
Within three days, her knee was normal.
00:31:41.109 --> 00:31:44.078
This isn't just her opinion.
00:31:44.078 --> 00:31:45.346
Her doctor confirmed the healing via x-rays.
00:31:45.346 --> 00:31:48.049
And now she is walking normally and giving all glory to god.
00:31:48.049 --> 00:31:52.120
- hallelujah.
00:31:52.120 --> 00:31:53.087
God's healing stands up to x-rays.
00:31:54.122 --> 00:31:56.290
God's healing stands up to medical experts
00:31:56.290 --> 00:31:59.761
And say, no you're wrong.
00:31:59.761 --> 00:32:01.462
I'm coming in, i'm making a difference.
00:32:01.462 --> 00:32:03.831
I'm raising this one up.
00:32:03.831 --> 00:32:06.467
Let that be you, and let it be you right now.
00:32:06.467 --> 00:32:11.072
Realize there's nothing you need to do to qualify yourself.
00:32:11.072 --> 00:32:14.208
You are a child of god.
00:32:14.208 --> 00:32:16.844
The breath that god gave to adam is in you,
00:32:16.844 --> 00:32:21.816
And he wants to breathe on you again to give you new life,
00:32:21.816 --> 00:32:25.853
New health, a resurrection today.
00:32:25.853 --> 00:32:29.223
So terry and i are going to agree.
00:32:29.223 --> 00:32:31.292
Now, what we want you to do is show an act of faith.
00:32:31.292 --> 00:32:34.595
In an act of faith, lay your hand on that area of the body
00:32:34.595 --> 00:32:37.732
That needs healing. we'll agree with you.
00:32:37.732 --> 00:32:41.169
And the bible says,
00:32:41.169 --> 00:32:42.403
"when two or more agree touching anything,
00:32:42.403 --> 00:32:45.373
It shall be done."
00:32:45.373 --> 00:32:47.075
So let's just trust that, and let's pray.
00:32:47.075 --> 00:32:50.511
Lord, we come to you,
00:32:50.511 --> 00:32:53.214
And in an act of faith we lay hands
00:32:53.214 --> 00:32:55.616
On that area of the body that needs healing.
00:32:55.616 --> 00:32:58.186
We come into agreement over it.
00:32:58.986 --> 00:33:01.255
We come into agreement that by your stripes, we are healed,
00:33:02.690 --> 00:33:06.961
That you've already accomplished everything we need.
00:33:08.229 --> 00:33:11.432
By faith we say the resurrection power
00:33:11.432 --> 00:33:14.735
That brought you back from the dead is in us,
00:33:14.735 --> 00:33:19.507
And able to resurrect us and do mighty things.
00:33:19.507 --> 00:33:23.244
So in jesus' name, body, be healed now,
00:33:24.345 --> 00:33:29.784
And be restored and be made whole.
00:33:30.751 --> 00:33:34.021
Any infirmity be gone now in jesus name.
00:33:35.156 --> 00:33:38.459
Any disease, any infection, any cancer, remove yourself now.
00:33:38.459 --> 00:33:45.833
You have no place in my body.
00:33:46.667 --> 00:33:49.437
In jesus' name i am healed.
00:33:49.437 --> 00:33:52.373
Now, lord, i thank you for what you are doing,
00:33:53.541 --> 00:33:56.844
What you have done, and what you will do.
00:33:56.844 --> 00:33:59.780
I thank you for it.
00:33:59.780 --> 00:34:01.949
I thank you for what you have already accomplished,
00:34:01.949 --> 00:34:05.186
And i receive it now in jesus' name.
00:34:05.186 --> 00:34:09.724
There's someone, your name is amos
00:34:09.724 --> 00:34:11.058
And you're laying hands on both of your knees
00:34:11.058 --> 00:34:13.161
And you've got tremendous pain in both knees.
00:34:13.161 --> 00:34:16.164
In the name of jesus, be healed and be restored.
00:34:16.164 --> 00:34:20.368
Let all that pain just dissipate away.
00:34:20.368 --> 00:34:23.271
Let all the cartilage
00:34:23.271 --> 00:34:27.575
And the cushioning in the knee be restored.
00:34:27.575 --> 00:34:30.378
Let there be full and complete and pain-free function
00:34:30.378 --> 00:34:34.882
From this moment forward, in jesus' name.
00:34:34.882 --> 00:34:38.119
Terry?
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:39.620
- there's someone, you have a deformity on your spine.
00:34:39.620 --> 00:34:42.890
Anyway, god's healing that for you.
00:34:43.958 --> 00:34:45.693
He's just correcting it.
00:34:45.693 --> 00:34:46.994
You've had it your whole life,
00:34:46.994 --> 00:34:48.496
And because it's a deformity that's been there so long,
00:34:48.496 --> 00:34:51.265
You haven't even thought to pray about it.
00:34:51.265 --> 00:34:52.800
But today, god's healing your spine for you
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.136
And you're gonna know it.
00:34:55.136 --> 00:34:56.704
Your freedom to move is going to change.
00:34:56.704 --> 00:34:58.706
And there are many of you who have issues with breathing.
00:34:58.706 --> 00:35:03.611
It's not covid-19, but you're fearful of that
00:35:03.611 --> 00:35:06.547
Because of your breathing issues.
00:35:06.547 --> 00:35:08.482
God is healing that for you right now.
00:35:08.482 --> 00:35:10.284
Breath of heaven, blow into lungs right now
00:35:10.284 --> 00:35:12.920
And heal in jesus' name.
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:15.022
- there's someone,
00:35:15.022 --> 00:35:16.324
You've got a fractured tailbone and coccyx,
00:35:16.324 --> 00:35:18.392
And there's swelling and inflammation,
00:35:18.392 --> 00:35:21.762
And a tremendous amount of pain. you can't sit.
00:35:21.762 --> 00:35:25.266
God is just healing that.
00:35:26.033 --> 00:35:27.835
What the doctors say they can't do,
00:35:27.835 --> 00:35:30.238
God is doing for you right now.
00:35:30.238 --> 00:35:32.273
He's resetting that bone
00:35:32.273 --> 00:35:34.709
And taking that break completely away.
00:35:34.709 --> 00:35:37.578
All of that pain just left you,
00:35:37.578 --> 00:35:39.680
All of the swelling, all of the inflammation.
00:35:39.680 --> 00:35:42.583
In jesus' name, be healed, be made whole.
00:35:42.583 --> 00:35:46.921
Lord god almighty, we thank you.
00:35:47.722 --> 00:35:49.557
We thank you for your many gifts to us.
00:35:49.557 --> 00:35:52.994
We don't deserve any of them, but you love us,
00:35:52.994 --> 00:35:56.063
And you love us so much you want us restored to you.
00:35:56.063 --> 00:35:59.600
We thank you for it.
00:35:59.600 --> 00:36:01.035
In jesus' name, amen and amen.
00:36:01.035 --> 00:36:04.739
If you've been healed, let us know.
00:36:04.739 --> 00:36:06.140
Give us a call, 1-800-700-7000.
00:36:06.140 --> 00:36:09.644
And if you need prayer, we believe in prevailing prayer,
00:36:09.644 --> 00:36:12.413
The prayer that gets an answer.
00:36:12.413 --> 00:36:13.948
So we're here for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
00:36:13.948 --> 00:36:17.318
We're a phone call away.
00:36:17.318 --> 00:36:18.919
1-800-700-7000.
00:36:18.919 --> 00:36:21.622
- well coming up, sent to a psych ward.
00:36:22.757 --> 00:36:25.326
Why was this college student
00:36:25.326 --> 00:36:26.994
Thrown into a mental institution?
00:36:26.994 --> 00:36:29.297
And raising nine kids on one income.
00:36:30.298 --> 00:36:33.768
How does this family do it?
00:36:33.768 --> 00:36:36.203
Hear their secret when we return.
00:36:36.203 --> 00:36:38.606
(uplifting music)
00:36:38.606 --> 00:36:46.380
- in the last five minutes of my labor and delivery
00:36:47.615 --> 00:36:50.751
Was when i noticed something was wrong.
00:36:50.751 --> 00:36:53.087
They put her on my chest, and right away they took her away,
00:36:53.087 --> 00:36:56.324
And she wasn't crying, and she looked sort of gray.
00:36:56.324 --> 00:36:59.994
I didn't know if she was gonna live or die.
00:36:59.994 --> 00:37:02.196
Then they came back in the room and said,
00:37:03.431 --> 00:37:04.632
She's had a brain injury.
00:37:04.632 --> 00:37:07.068
That's when i really started praying,
00:37:07.068 --> 00:37:09.337
God please, please let her mind be okay.
00:37:09.337 --> 00:37:12.673
Turned on the tv,
00:37:12.673 --> 00:37:14.141
And just randomly flipping the channels, here's cbn.
00:37:14.141 --> 00:37:16.243
It really lifted me up.
00:37:16.243 --> 00:37:17.778
It gave me that little bit of hope i needed at the time.
00:37:17.778 --> 00:37:20.147
After that, i really felt like things started
00:37:20.147 --> 00:37:22.016
Moving even more.
00:37:22.016 --> 00:37:23.384
She went from being behind to advanced for her age.
00:37:23.384 --> 00:37:27.655
I could never deny the power of prayer.
00:37:27.655 --> 00:37:29.757
I would always just say, pray and pray more,
00:37:29.757 --> 00:37:32.460
And just keep trusting god.
00:37:32.460 --> 00:37:35.096
His word is true.
00:37:35.096 --> 00:37:36.664
He saw me through all the bad things
00:37:36.664 --> 00:37:38.466
I thought would happen to my daughter, and he healed her.
00:37:38.466 --> 00:37:41.535
Psalms 34:4, "i sought the lord and he answered me.
00:37:41.535 --> 00:37:45.206
He delivered me from all of my fears."
00:37:45.206 --> 00:37:47.742
- [woman] when i was a young girl,
00:37:47.742 --> 00:37:49.276
I went to fetch water for my mother.
00:37:49.276 --> 00:37:51.345
The weight of the water made my neck hurt so bad,
00:37:51.345 --> 00:37:53.948
I just poured the water out
00:37:53.948 --> 00:37:55.182
And went home with an empty container.
00:37:55.182 --> 00:37:57.651
The stream is very far, and i go four times a day.
00:37:57.651 --> 00:38:01.555
I get home exhausted.
00:38:01.555 --> 00:38:03.157
I feel terrible drinking that water
00:38:03.157 --> 00:38:05.259
And giving it to my family.
00:38:05.259 --> 00:38:06.961
We often get intense stomach aches and vomit.
00:38:06.961 --> 00:38:10.498
When my son was three, he got very sick from the water.
00:38:10.498 --> 00:38:14.835
Thank you operation blessing for giving us a new life.
00:38:14.835 --> 00:38:18.339
When you came, we were all so grateful,
00:38:18.339 --> 00:38:21.108
We could not hold back our joy.
00:38:21.108 --> 00:38:23.511
I've never had this kind of water before.
00:38:23.511 --> 00:38:26.280
Every time i drink it, i feel good and healthy.
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:29.984
With the well this close,
00:38:29.984 --> 00:38:31.786
Even my daughter can easily fetch water.
00:38:31.786 --> 00:38:34.255
We are healthy and we are happy.
00:38:34.255 --> 00:38:36.857
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

- [announcer] life, it's meant to be lived fully.
00:39:19.200 --> 00:39:22.203
Jesus said it.
00:39:22.770 --> 00:39:24.138
"i came to give you life, life to the fullest,
00:39:24.138 --> 00:39:27.775

Cbn.com.
00:39:46.093 --> 00:39:47.962
- i didn't even give it a second thought
00:39:47.962 --> 00:39:51.065
That there could be a miscarriage.
00:39:51.065 --> 00:39:53.901
I don't think i really processed it
00:39:53.901 --> 00:39:55.736
Until we were driving home.
00:39:55.736 --> 00:39:57.304
That's when i finally cried about it.
00:39:57.304 --> 00:39:59.607
- [man] god, if this doesn't happen, i still love you.
00:39:59.607 --> 00:40:03.310
- i was mad in the way where you are boiling on the inside.
00:40:03.310 --> 00:40:14.889
I was surrendering myself.
00:40:15.656 --> 00:40:19.026
I felt held.
00:40:19.026 --> 00:40:23.097
- well, we saw the heartbeat, and that was like okay.
00:40:24.398 --> 00:40:27.535
- we've never been this far.
00:40:27.535 --> 00:40:29.370
- eight years of wanting that moment.
00:40:29.370 --> 00:40:32.206
- my little girl is in my arms, finally.
00:40:32.206 --> 00:40:37.378
Have the guts to let go.
00:40:38.045 --> 00:40:41.048
That allows the lord to move
00:40:41.048 --> 00:40:44.051

- this kind of lifestyle
00:41:18.218 --> 00:41:19.620
Was leading to nothing but destruction.
00:41:19.620 --> 00:41:23.457
I just wanted to give a big middle finger to life
00:41:23.457 --> 00:41:26.594
And blow up everything.
00:41:26.594 --> 00:41:29.330
And the light is so light
00:41:29.330 --> 00:41:30.898
When you know how dark the dark is.
00:41:30.898 --> 00:41:32.933
And i am grateful every single day for the life that i have,
00:41:34.401 --> 00:41:38.072
And i know every single day that the life that i have
00:41:38.072 --> 00:41:40.941
Is because of jesus.
00:41:40.941 --> 00:41:43.544
And if god can do that for me,
00:41:43.544 --> 00:41:45.379
Then he can do that for anyone.
00:41:45.379 --> 00:41:48.882
(uplifting music)
00:41:49.516 --> 00:41:53.320
- john and amy have enough children
00:41:54.321 --> 00:41:56.256
To field a baseball team.
00:41:56.256 --> 00:41:58.459
They're raising nine, and doing so on one salary.
00:41:58.459 --> 00:42:03.530
The couple say life gets chaotic at times,
00:42:04.765 --> 00:42:06.533
And here's the secret to how they manage it all.
00:42:06.533 --> 00:42:11.071
- [announcer] as the parents of nine children,
00:42:12.306 --> 00:42:14.341
John and amy mccue say life is never boring.
00:42:14.341 --> 00:42:18.045
- to me it's like a nascar race
00:42:18.045 --> 00:42:19.480
Without any breaks and with no finish line.
00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:21.248
So it's full speed all the time.
00:42:21.248 --> 00:42:23.517
But you get these quiet moments that are lovely.
00:42:23.517 --> 00:42:26.654
- [narrator] years ago when amy was pregnant
00:42:26.654 --> 00:42:28.389
With her first daughter,
00:42:28.389 --> 00:42:29.723
She left her full-time job as a teacher.
00:42:29.723 --> 00:42:32.292
Even though the family was struggling financially,
00:42:32.292 --> 00:42:34.895
The mccues tithed,
00:42:34.895 --> 00:42:36.230
A practice they learned from their church.
00:42:36.230 --> 00:42:38.799
- it didn't seem like it was ever gone. you didn't miss it.
00:42:38.799 --> 00:42:42.403
- [narrator] john was working in construction
00:42:42.403 --> 00:42:44.171
And doing handyman work on the side.
00:42:44.171 --> 00:42:46.640
Over the years, he began receiving periodic raises.
00:42:46.640 --> 00:42:49.810
Meanwhile, their family grew to three children.
00:42:49.810 --> 00:42:52.479
At that time, amy started watching the 700 club.
00:42:52.479 --> 00:42:55.616
- the kids wanted to give.
00:42:55.616 --> 00:42:57.851
They liked that cbn was helping other people.
00:42:57.851 --> 00:43:00.521
So i'm like, oh i wanna give.
00:43:00.521 --> 00:43:01.588
And they're like, we do too.
00:43:01.588 --> 00:43:02.923
And so, we just did it.
00:43:02.923 --> 00:43:05.592
- mckayla, now in her twenties, recalls those days.
00:43:05.592 --> 00:43:09.096
- it seemed like such a small thing
00:43:09.096 --> 00:43:10.597
But had such a large impact.
00:43:10.597 --> 00:43:13.300
- [announcer] amy says that during this time,
00:43:13.300 --> 00:43:15.302
God provided even beyond her family's basic needs.
00:43:15.302 --> 00:43:19.073
- they'd go to a garage sale and the free box
00:43:20.240 --> 00:43:21.842
Would have exactly the polly pockets that mckayla wanted.
00:43:21.842 --> 00:43:24.545
He just showed them that he was their provider.
00:43:24.545 --> 00:43:27.614
- [announcer] in 2013, john's side job was doing so well
00:43:27.614 --> 00:43:31.719
He decided to focus on it full time.
00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:34.221
- the jobs started coming in, the phone started ringing.
00:43:34.221 --> 00:43:36.957
We were faithful from day one.
00:43:36.957 --> 00:43:39.893
Increments and increments,
00:43:39.893 --> 00:43:41.028
That he trusts you with a little,
00:43:41.028 --> 00:43:42.129
Trusts you with a little bit more,
00:43:42.129 --> 00:43:43.063
How about a little bit more,
00:43:43.063 --> 00:43:44.164
And that's where god has kept us.
00:43:44.164 --> 00:43:45.466
He's kind of just walked with us the whole way.
00:43:45.466 --> 00:43:47.568
- [announcer] the mccues continued to tithe.
00:43:47.568 --> 00:43:49.570
And recently, john received his largest contract to date.
00:43:49.570 --> 00:43:53.474
That alone amounted to his annual salary
00:43:53.474 --> 00:43:55.876
From just a few years ago.
00:43:55.876 --> 00:43:57.678
- i don't really even know how i got from small to big.
00:43:57.678 --> 00:44:02.316
I know it's not me,
00:44:02.983 --> 00:44:04.351
'cause everybody was like, oh you do this.
00:44:04.351 --> 00:44:05.452
I'm like, no, i don't do anything.
00:44:05.452 --> 00:44:06.620
God does it all. i just show up.
00:44:06.620 --> 00:44:09.056
- [announcer] even though they're raising
00:44:09.056 --> 00:44:10.124
Nine kids on one income,
00:44:10.124 --> 00:44:12.059
The mccues never stopped giving to cbn.
00:44:12.059 --> 00:44:15.062
- we like giving to cbn 'cause it's an opportunity...
00:44:15.062 --> 00:44:18.699
Cbn can do with my money
00:44:18.699 --> 00:44:20.100
A lot more than what i could do myself.
00:44:20.100 --> 00:44:21.802
Like i'd love to build churches,
00:44:21.802 --> 00:44:23.370
That'd be a great opportunity, but i can only do one thing.
00:44:23.370 --> 00:44:25.806
By investing in cbn,
00:44:25.806 --> 00:44:27.407
Look at the huge ministry in all the countries,
00:44:27.407 --> 00:44:29.610
All the locations.
00:44:29.610 --> 00:44:30.911
They can do things i couldn't dream about.
00:44:30.911 --> 00:44:32.880
But i'm still involved because i give financially,
00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:35.816
Allowing them to support that ministry.
00:44:35.816 --> 00:44:37.751
So to me, it's a great investment in the kingdom of god.
00:44:37.751 --> 00:44:40.888
- [announcer] the mccues say
00:44:40.888 --> 00:44:42.189
They've learned the importance of giving,
00:44:42.189 --> 00:44:43.991
And want to share it with others.
00:44:43.991 --> 00:44:45.793
- god says, try me in this.
00:44:45.793 --> 00:44:48.595
It's the only place in the bible where he says, try me.
00:44:48.595 --> 00:44:50.631
- you give to god first,
00:44:50.631 --> 00:44:52.432
And we wanna teach the children that.
00:44:52.432 --> 00:44:54.735
You instill it to 'em young and early,
00:44:54.735 --> 00:44:56.170
They see the blessings, they see the return on that,
00:44:56.170 --> 00:44:59.072
And they're gonna continue to.
00:44:59.072 --> 00:45:01.208
(tranquil music)
00:45:01.208 --> 00:45:02.609
- i'll say it again, tithing works.
00:45:02.609 --> 00:45:06.446
It's incredible how it works.
00:45:06.446 --> 00:45:08.949
It's not some on again, off again thing.
00:45:08.949 --> 00:45:11.552
When you have a lifetime of giving to say,
00:45:11.552 --> 00:45:14.454
I want to put god first in my life.
00:45:14.454 --> 00:45:16.890
I want everyone to know.
00:45:16.890 --> 00:45:20.227
I want my children to know, i want to know god is first.
00:45:20.227 --> 00:45:24.665
And when you do that, the blessings
00:45:24.665 --> 00:45:26.934
Just seem to multiply, and multiply, and multiply.
00:45:26.934 --> 00:45:30.604
These blessings aren't for things for your own enjoyment.
00:45:30.604 --> 00:45:34.708
What these blessings are for,
00:45:34.708 --> 00:45:36.210
So you can have even more to give to others,
00:45:36.210 --> 00:45:39.546
To be there for them in their time of need.
00:45:39.546 --> 00:45:43.150
And whether that's raising nine children on your own
00:45:43.150 --> 00:45:46.086
With one salary, or helping people around the world,
00:45:46.086 --> 00:45:49.790
That's the purpose, that's why god gives you
00:45:49.790 --> 00:45:52.926
The power to get wealth.
00:45:52.926 --> 00:45:54.895
Not so that you can consume it on your own,
00:45:54.895 --> 00:45:57.831
So you can have even more to share with others.
00:45:57.831 --> 00:46:00.767
That is the wonderful secret.
00:46:00.767 --> 00:46:03.503
Jesus laid it out, we call it the law of reciprocity.
00:46:03.503 --> 00:46:07.274
Give and it will be given unto you.
00:46:07.274 --> 00:46:10.544
What is god looking for?
00:46:10.544 --> 00:46:11.845
He's looking for you to put it into action.
00:46:11.845 --> 00:46:14.381
It's not wait until you have and then give.
00:46:14.381 --> 00:46:16.750
No, it's give and then it will be given unto you.
00:46:16.750 --> 00:46:20.454
If you wanna start doing that,
00:46:20.454 --> 00:46:21.889
Give us a call, 1-800-700-7000,
00:46:21.889 --> 00:46:25.425
And say, yes, i want to join
00:46:25.425 --> 00:46:27.261
In everything you're doing around the world.
00:46:27.261 --> 00:46:29.463
Whether it's operation blessing, orphan's promise,
00:46:29.463 --> 00:46:32.399
Helping the home front, our international broadcast,
00:46:32.399 --> 00:46:35.836
You're a part of all of it when you join the 700 club.
00:46:35.836 --> 00:46:39.172
How much is it?
00:46:39.172 --> 00:46:40.340
It's just $20 a month, 65 cents a day.
00:46:40.340 --> 00:46:43.143
If you're already a 700 club member,
00:46:43.143 --> 00:46:45.312
I encourage you to go up to 700 club gold,
00:46:45.312 --> 00:46:47.714
That's $40 a month.
00:46:47.714 --> 00:46:49.283
We also have a thousand club,
00:46:49.283 --> 00:46:50.817
That's a thousand dollars a year,
00:46:50.817 --> 00:46:52.319
And that breaks out to $84 a month.
00:46:52.319 --> 00:46:54.788
At whatever level, when you call, ask for pledge express.
00:46:54.788 --> 00:46:58.225
That's electronic monthly giving.
00:46:58.225 --> 00:47:00.260
The bank is doing all the work.
00:47:00.260 --> 00:47:01.962
And we can send as our gift to you,
00:47:01.962 --> 00:47:04.197
Power for life, monthly teaching cds.
00:47:04.197 --> 00:47:06.600
So if you like those, ask for pledge express when you call,
00:47:06.600 --> 00:47:10.203
Or go to cbn.com.
00:47:10.203 --> 00:47:12.272
Terry?
00:47:12.272 --> 00:47:13.540
- a shot of tequila at 8:00 a.m.
00:47:13.540 --> 00:47:16.710
That's how aaron andrews' bout with alcoholism began.
00:47:16.710 --> 00:47:20.514
Little did she know the depth of the depression
00:47:20.514 --> 00:47:23.216
Behind her drinking,
00:47:23.216 --> 00:47:24.651
And that eventually it would take her somewhere
00:47:24.651 --> 00:47:26.787
She never dreamed she'd go.
00:47:26.787 --> 00:47:29.256
- i never thought at any point during my growing up
00:47:30.490 --> 00:47:34.761
That i would end up in a mental institution.
00:47:34.761 --> 00:47:38.031
My whole life has led to this moment,
00:47:38.031 --> 00:47:40.667
Like how disappointing.
00:47:40.667 --> 00:47:43.337
I always thought of christians
00:47:44.171 --> 00:47:46.506
As these really emphatic people
00:47:46.506 --> 00:47:49.176
Who wanted me to basically just turn away
00:47:49.176 --> 00:47:52.045
From anything that was fun.
00:47:52.045 --> 00:47:54.014
If we're bad, we get punished by god.
00:47:54.014 --> 00:47:55.716
Because he's good, so he can't stand bad.
00:47:55.716 --> 00:47:58.652
I had this distant arbitrary view of god.
00:47:58.652 --> 00:48:02.889
I went to a christian college
00:48:03.724 --> 00:48:05.025
Where you go to chapel three times a week,
00:48:05.025 --> 00:48:06.693
And you dress up every day, and you're really smart,
00:48:06.693 --> 00:48:09.429
And you get all as, and you work hard,
00:48:09.429 --> 00:48:10.797
And everybody likes you,
00:48:10.797 --> 00:48:12.032
And you're doing all the right things,
00:48:12.032 --> 00:48:13.133
And you have this bright future.
00:48:13.133 --> 00:48:15.035
So i just thought, i'm gonna believe in god in my head,
00:48:15.035 --> 00:48:18.305
But i'm just gonna do my own thing.
00:48:18.305 --> 00:48:20.507
The minute i'm out of my house
00:48:20.507 --> 00:48:22.309
And i have the opportunity to go to this party
00:48:22.309 --> 00:48:25.445
And drink at 18, i'm like,
00:48:25.445 --> 00:48:27.481
Oh yeah, like i've never done that, that'll be fun.
00:48:27.481 --> 00:48:30.050
I'm gonna try some new thing.
00:48:30.050 --> 00:48:31.618
I kind of felt edgy, 'cause i was like breaking the law,
00:48:31.618 --> 00:48:34.321
And i was breaking the rules there.
00:48:34.321 --> 00:48:36.690
But i just had fun with it.
00:48:36.690 --> 00:48:39.259
And then a long pattern of that,
00:48:39.259 --> 00:48:42.396
Thinking that i could just keep doing it
00:48:43.563 --> 00:48:44.731
And it would never catch up to me.
00:48:44.731 --> 00:48:47.167
When i was 19 and i was a sophomore in college,
00:48:47.167 --> 00:48:49.936
I was taking a shot at tequila
00:48:49.936 --> 00:48:52.672
At 8:00 a.m. on a monday morning,
00:48:52.672 --> 00:48:54.908
It became a little bit too consistent.
00:48:54.908 --> 00:48:57.611
And i never really thought about the term alcoholism.
00:48:57.611 --> 00:49:00.414
I didn't really think about the term depression.
00:49:00.414 --> 00:49:02.883
That was not the thing that i was thinking of.
00:49:02.883 --> 00:49:05.752
I was just thinking,
00:49:05.752 --> 00:49:07.254
Oh this is something i gotta do to get through the day.
00:49:07.254 --> 00:49:10.023
And then on the outside,
00:49:10.690 --> 00:49:11.992
I'm posting pictures with my friends
00:49:11.992 --> 00:49:13.593
Like i'm so happy and i'm smiling.
00:49:13.593 --> 00:49:16.163
I could almost feel myself, my health,
00:49:17.264 --> 00:49:19.499
My mental health, my physical health deteriorating.
00:49:19.499 --> 00:49:22.769
So as a teenager, i had heard about self-harm
00:49:23.937 --> 00:49:27.741
From my friends and stuff.
00:49:27.741 --> 00:49:29.242
And i thought when i was 17,
00:49:30.043 --> 00:49:31.611
Maybe i'll just try it one time.
00:49:31.611 --> 00:49:34.681
And the minute i saw like the blood,
00:49:34.681 --> 00:49:37.417
It was like, it's hooked.
00:49:37.417 --> 00:49:39.352
It was like this dopamine hit.
00:49:39.352 --> 00:49:40.954
And in a really twisted way,
00:49:40.954 --> 00:49:42.322
I'd almost reward myself with self-harming.
00:49:42.322 --> 00:49:45.425
I looked down at my arms and my legs,
00:49:45.425 --> 00:49:47.294
And i'd realized that's actually not real.
00:49:47.294 --> 00:49:49.729
I actually don't like who i am at all.
00:49:49.729 --> 00:49:52.399
As the alcoholism progressed,
00:49:52.399 --> 00:49:53.967
The urge to self harm got so much stronger.
00:49:53.967 --> 00:49:57.504
And i felt too, even if god loves me,
00:49:58.538 --> 00:50:02.109
He's not gonna wanna associate with me too much
00:50:02.109 --> 00:50:04.444
Because look at where i've ended up.
00:50:04.444 --> 00:50:07.013
So when i go home for christmas break after fall semester,
00:50:07.013 --> 00:50:10.584
All these feelings just started coming out
00:50:10.584 --> 00:50:13.019
And i couldn't control them.
00:50:13.019 --> 00:50:14.488
And i remember my parents asked me for the first time ,
00:50:15.889 --> 00:50:18.492
They said, are you depressed?
00:50:18.492 --> 00:50:20.160
And i told them no.
00:50:20.160 --> 00:50:21.394
I go back spring semester and i couldn't keep it all in.
00:50:22.796 --> 00:50:26.299
It had started to unravel inside of me.
00:50:26.299 --> 00:50:30.303
But this thought kept occurring to me.
00:50:30.303 --> 00:50:31.972
It was just death, death.
00:50:31.972 --> 00:50:34.074
I could just end this, i don't have to do this.
00:50:34.074 --> 00:50:36.676
It's just very strong,
00:50:36.676 --> 00:50:38.211
And i'm thinking about it all the time.
00:50:38.211 --> 00:50:40.180
And i remember one night i decided i just have to try,
00:50:40.180 --> 00:50:43.750
At least have to try one time.
00:50:43.750 --> 00:50:45.719
And so, i remember taking the razor,
00:50:45.719 --> 00:50:47.354
Slitting my wrists, and nothing happened.
00:50:47.354 --> 00:50:51.725
So i just kept going, and i just kept going.
00:50:51.725 --> 00:50:54.461
And finally, i'm surrounded by blood
00:50:54.461 --> 00:50:56.396
But i'm not bleeding out,
00:50:56.396 --> 00:50:57.898
And i realized i don't think this is gonna work.
00:50:57.898 --> 00:51:02.068
I'd broken my razors.
00:51:02.068 --> 00:51:03.703
There was nothing left for me to use.
00:51:03.703 --> 00:51:06.540
My friend kind of came in
00:51:07.307 --> 00:51:09.142
And she put an end to what i was trying to do.
00:51:09.142 --> 00:51:12.679
And i think that that was the first time
00:51:12.679 --> 00:51:14.814
I really cried in a long time.
00:51:14.814 --> 00:51:17.450
So when you try to do something like that,
00:51:18.618 --> 00:51:19.853
You can't just go back to normal life.
00:51:19.853 --> 00:51:22.055
I had to be institutionalized for a week after that.
00:51:22.055 --> 00:51:25.158
And i remember i just cried and i cried,
00:51:26.293 --> 00:51:28.261
And i thought i have ever been this low.
00:51:28.261 --> 00:51:32.199
This is where i've ended up?
00:51:32.199 --> 00:51:33.433
My whole life has led to this moment?
00:51:33.433 --> 00:51:36.136
How disappointing.
00:51:36.136 --> 00:51:37.637
When you're 19 years old and you want your whole future
00:51:37.637 --> 00:51:40.373
To be like gleaming and at 19 you're realizing, oh my gosh,
00:51:40.373 --> 00:51:45.445
I don't really have much going for me.
00:51:46.546 --> 00:51:48.048
I had sort of let go of my stubbornness.
00:51:49.182 --> 00:51:51.885
'cause i realized my plan actually
00:51:51.885 --> 00:51:54.621
Wasn't better than god's plan.
00:51:54.621 --> 00:51:56.256
Even if god's plan wasn't that good,
00:51:56.256 --> 00:51:58.325
It had to be better than this,
00:51:58.325 --> 00:51:59.759
Because this is really not good.
00:51:59.759 --> 00:52:02.229
And i remember waking up the next day
00:52:03.296 --> 00:52:06.032
And i went into the room where all the patients hang out,
00:52:06.032 --> 00:52:09.970
And there was a group of nursing students there.
00:52:09.970 --> 00:52:13.106
And lo and behold, this guy comes out of the blue
00:52:13.106 --> 00:52:16.142
And he sits down next to me.
00:52:16.142 --> 00:52:17.744
He said immediately to me,
00:52:17.744 --> 00:52:20.347
I feel like god wants me to talk to you.
00:52:20.347 --> 00:52:22.682
And i thought, okay, is this guy crazy? i'm not sure.
00:52:22.682 --> 00:52:27.120
And he said, "i can feel your pain.
00:52:27.120 --> 00:52:30.957
I can feel like what's coming off of you,
00:52:30.957 --> 00:52:34.060
And i want you to know god loves you
00:52:34.060 --> 00:52:36.496
And he hasn't left you."
00:52:36.496 --> 00:52:38.098
And he told me to read my bible every day,
00:52:38.098 --> 00:52:41.401
Which was so weird because that was something
00:52:41.401 --> 00:52:43.136
I used to do when i was a teenager.
00:52:43.136 --> 00:52:45.772
So he told me, "start in psalms,
00:52:46.573 --> 00:52:48.842
Start in the book of psalms, go through psalms.
00:52:48.842 --> 00:52:51.044
And when you're done, go through the gospels,
00:52:51.044 --> 00:52:53.113
Matthew, mark, luke, john."
00:52:53.113 --> 00:52:54.881
I remember feeling like if he can say that,
00:52:56.016 --> 00:52:59.419
That means something good's gonna come out of my life.
00:52:59.419 --> 00:53:01.521
And i don't know what that is,
00:53:01.521 --> 00:53:02.756
But i know that it's better than this.
00:53:02.756 --> 00:53:04.958
And so, what he gave me that day was just a lot of hope.
00:53:04.958 --> 00:53:08.161
This vision of myself getting out of there
00:53:08.161 --> 00:53:10.397
And maybe doing something good with my life,
00:53:10.397 --> 00:53:12.465
It gave me a reason to try to get better,
00:53:12.465 --> 00:53:14.234
It gave me a reason to stop drinking,
00:53:14.234 --> 00:53:15.769
Like finally i had the possibility of something better.
00:53:15.769 --> 00:53:20.173
And so, when i went back to school for junior year,
00:53:21.408 --> 00:53:23.376
I finally made a point,
00:53:23.376 --> 00:53:24.978
I'm just gonna read one chapter every day, like he told me.
00:53:24.978 --> 00:53:28.081
The first day, obviously nothing changed too much.
00:53:29.316 --> 00:53:31.785
The second day, nothing changed too much.
00:53:31.785 --> 00:53:33.620
But over time, i saw things in my life
00:53:33.620 --> 00:53:37.357
Started coming together,
00:53:37.357 --> 00:53:38.925
And my eyes started being open to a lot of things.
00:53:38.925 --> 00:53:41.361
I was still self-harming.
00:53:41.361 --> 00:53:43.196
That was still something i struggled with.
00:53:43.196 --> 00:53:45.532
Depression was still something i'd struggled with.
00:53:45.532 --> 00:53:47.767
Those things did not go away immediately.
00:53:47.767 --> 00:53:50.770
But over time, i felt like,
00:53:50.770 --> 00:53:53.740
Oh i'm being led to the right doctor,
00:53:53.740 --> 00:53:55.642
And this medication is probably gonna help me.
00:53:55.642 --> 00:53:58.678
Over that first semester,
00:53:59.446 --> 00:54:01.247
I don't really know when it stopped,
00:54:01.247 --> 00:54:02.916
I don't know when the last time i cut was.
00:54:02.916 --> 00:54:06.753
But i remember looking down at the end of the year
00:54:06.753 --> 00:54:08.955
And realizing i haven't cut in a really long time,
00:54:08.955 --> 00:54:11.591
And i don't even see any scars on my arms anymore,
00:54:11.591 --> 00:54:14.794
Which was incredible to me
00:54:14.794 --> 00:54:16.162
Because i was told that they would never go away.
00:54:16.162 --> 00:54:18.098
And now i'm looking down at my skin
00:54:18.098 --> 00:54:19.499
And there's nothing there.
00:54:19.499 --> 00:54:21.434
I came to this realization that my faith is not something
00:54:21.434 --> 00:54:26.506
That i go to when i'm feeling strong.
00:54:27.607 --> 00:54:28.508
It's when i'm feeling weak
00:54:28.508 --> 00:54:29.743
And it's when i'm feeling vulnerable,
00:54:29.743 --> 00:54:31.244
And it's when i'm feeling like i can't do it anymore.
00:54:31.244 --> 00:54:33.346
And it's just me constantly admitting
00:54:33.346 --> 00:54:37.183
My desperation for jesus,
00:54:37.183 --> 00:54:38.985
'cause i have nothing else to rely on.
00:54:38.985 --> 00:54:41.821
I still just read one chapter every day.
00:54:41.821 --> 00:54:44.057
I never got fancier than that.
00:54:44.057 --> 00:54:46.893
It's the first thing i do when i get up.
00:54:46.893 --> 00:54:48.862
Because if i don't do that, i don't know who i am.
00:54:48.862 --> 00:54:53.032
I think what i would want people to know
00:54:54.167 --> 00:54:55.969
Is sometimes i think you get to the point where you're like,
00:54:55.969 --> 00:54:58.571
I don't wanna do this anymore, i can't do this anymore,
00:54:58.571 --> 00:55:02.509
And i think that that's where god desires to come in.
00:55:02.509 --> 00:55:05.745
The only thing that can really fix your brokenness is jesus.
00:55:07.213 --> 00:55:11.785
- sometimes when you were young,
00:55:12.585 --> 00:55:14.087
We follow a lot of the rules, a lot of the guidelines,
00:55:14.087 --> 00:55:18.825
A lot of the things we're told by our parents,
00:55:18.825 --> 00:55:21.394
By our church, by our school,
00:55:21.394 --> 00:55:23.663
And after a while, we feel like we're just performing.
00:55:23.663 --> 00:55:28.101
But have you ever heard somebody say
00:55:28.101 --> 00:55:29.936
That they perform for an audience of one?
00:55:29.936 --> 00:55:33.673
It's because they've realized
00:55:33.673 --> 00:55:35.108
That none of that performance for others holds up,
00:55:35.108 --> 00:55:38.845
It just doesn't sustain you.
00:55:38.845 --> 00:55:41.314
But when you come to know christ in a really personal way,
00:55:41.314 --> 00:55:44.884
You begin to live for him and in him,
00:55:44.884 --> 00:55:47.754
And he lives through you and it changes things.
00:55:47.754 --> 00:55:50.657
Aaron said something earlier on that was so interesting
00:55:50.657 --> 00:55:53.126
When she started to branch out from
00:55:53.126 --> 00:55:57.263
The safe rule-keeping life she'd been living.
00:55:57.263 --> 00:55:59.999
She said, i thought, well,
00:55:59.999 --> 00:56:01.367
I'm just gonna keep god in my head and in my heart,
00:56:01.367 --> 00:56:03.803
But i'm gonna explore and expand things out here.
00:56:03.803 --> 00:56:07.207
The bible says you cannot have two masters,
00:56:08.308 --> 00:56:11.244
That you will love one and hate the other.
00:56:11.244 --> 00:56:14.681
And so today, if you're struggling
00:56:14.681 --> 00:56:16.583
In your walk with the lord,
00:56:16.583 --> 00:56:17.984
I just wanna encourage you to do what aaron did,
00:56:17.984 --> 00:56:21.087
Get into the word.
00:56:21.087 --> 00:56:23.089
Feed the part of you that is worth growing,
00:56:23.089 --> 00:56:26.526
That's worth nurturing,
00:56:26.526 --> 00:56:28.061
That is going to take you somewhere that matters.
00:56:28.061 --> 00:56:32.332
But don't let the world feed the other part of you.
00:56:32.332 --> 00:56:36.169
Take control of that. you can.
00:56:36.169 --> 00:56:38.972
Even when you get to the place
00:56:39.806 --> 00:56:41.207
Where you're drinking a shot of tequila,
00:56:41.207 --> 00:56:43.142
Or something at eight in the morning,
00:56:43.142 --> 00:56:44.611
You can say, god, i need you to help me right now.
00:56:44.611 --> 00:56:49.315
I need you to come into my life.
00:56:49.315 --> 00:56:51.451
I need you to touch my mind and my heart,
00:56:51.451 --> 00:56:55.388
And my very being, even my body,
00:56:55.388 --> 00:56:58.324
And teach me how to live for an audience of one.
00:56:58.324 --> 00:57:01.661
I wanna please you.
00:57:01.661 --> 00:57:03.563
I wanna walk in your ways.
00:57:03.563 --> 00:57:05.098
I wanna be set free from myself
00:57:05.098 --> 00:57:07.600
And all of the garbage and the temptation
00:57:07.600 --> 00:57:09.736
That i've allowed to impact my life.
00:57:09.736 --> 00:57:12.405
I want a fresh beginning today.
00:57:12.405 --> 00:57:14.440
I don't know what it is that you're faced with in your life,
00:57:15.842 --> 00:57:18.344
But i do know that when you pray with someone,
00:57:18.344 --> 00:57:20.880
It makes a difference.
00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:22.482
We have a prayer line that's available 24 hours a day,
00:57:22.482 --> 00:57:25.785
And it's toll free.
00:57:25.785 --> 00:57:27.153
It's 1-800-700-7000.
00:57:27.153 --> 00:57:29.756
You can call that number.
00:57:29.756 --> 00:57:31.558
There's a friend who will answer,
00:57:32.425 --> 00:57:33.826
Who's standing by to pray with you today.
00:57:33.826 --> 00:57:36.729
Please do that.
00:57:36.729 --> 00:57:37.697
Let the power of god be set free
00:57:37.697 --> 00:57:39.766
In the midst of your heart and your life.
00:57:39.766 --> 00:57:42.335
We wanna leave you today with this verse,
00:57:42.335 --> 00:57:44.270
It's from acts chapter two.
00:57:44.270 --> 00:57:46.406
"but everyone, everyone who calls on the name of the lord
00:57:46.406 --> 00:57:51.477
Will be saved."
00:57:52.011 --> 00:57:52.845
That's you, my friend.
00:57:52.845 --> 00:57:54.080
It's never too late.
00:57:54.080 --> 00:57:55.582
God loves you right where you're at.
00:57:55.582 --> 00:57:57.984
Call us, we'll pray with you.
00:57:57.984 --> 00:57:59.619
God bless you.
00:57:59.619 --> 00:58:00.000
